Nangong Xue's eyes opened slightly, but she still stared at the ground. She saw a pair of familiar long boots, and she stopped in front of her with a person. But somehow, she lost the courage to face the man and whispered: "Because it's too unreal, I'm so afraid... I'm so afraid that all this is just a dream. If I look up, I will find that there is actually nothing in front of me, it's just my illusion. If I don't look at it, at least I can deceive myself and tell myself that you are really still..."

The voice smiled and said, "What a little fool." He grabbed her shoulders with his hands and forced her to raise her head. Nangong Xue felt the warmth put on her shoulders, and a warm feeling rose in her heart, making her feel willing to trust that person.

Without resisting, he raised his head and his eyes rose inch by inch, passing through his boots, his trousers, belts, and long gowns. A dazzling golden light appeared in front of him. A face filled with a gentle smile, which was clearly the senior brother he missed the most. But his whole body was bathed with a layer of holy golden light, like an angel descending to earth, who would ride the wind at any time.

Nangong Xue was so suspicious that she was confused. She tentatively stroked his face with her palm, and stroked his eyebrows and eyes all the way, and said in a trembling voice: "Senior Brother, is it really you?" Li Yijie smiled and said: "Yes, Xueer, I'm back. I promised you that I would never die without telling you. Now, I am here to fulfill my promise."

Nangong Xue cried and laughed excitedly, and did not forget to report the good news to him, saying, "Senior Brother, do you know? We... we did it! We really defeated the Seven Evil Demons!" Li Yijie's face was not surprised, but still showed a significant smile of compliment and disgrace, saying, "Is that so? That is the result of everyone's joint efforts. I dare not take my own credit."

Nangong Xue said: "It's not, it's clear that Li Alliance Leader is good! Now that the culprit has been solved, the world can finally have a period of peace. We... we have sacrificed too much for the martial arts world and the people, and missed too much. In the future, we should have lived our own life! That warm hut under the setting sun has appeared in my dreams countless times. I can't believe that it will soon become a reality! Does a person like me really have the right to enjoy such extreme happiness?" When the goal of striving for too long is finally achieved, in addition to ecstasy, there is still a lot of unbelievableness.

Li Yijie's face did not cater to her joy, and said softly: "It's a pity that things are not going well in this life, and not everything will be as we wish. But believe me, you are really a good girl. In the future, even if I am not by your side and can no longer protect you, you must take good care of yourself. In this way, I can feel at ease no matter where I go to the ends of the world. Your happiness is my happiness." He stretched out a hand and gently stroked Nangong Xue's longevity.

Nangong Xue said anxiously: "I don't want to listen to such words! It sounds like a farewell, which makes people feel uneasy. Senior brother, you promised me that from now on, you will never leave me alone again. You will let me stay with you, to heaven, hell, to the end of the world, to the end of the sea and the end of the earth, to the end of the vastness, to the end of the earth, to the end of the earth, to the end of the earth, to the end of the earth, to the end of the earth, to the end of the earth, to the end of the earth, to the end of the earth, to the end of the earth, to the end of the earth, to the end of the earth, to the end of the earth, to the end of the earth, to the end of the earth, to the end of the earth, to the end of the earth, to the end of the earth, to the end of the earth, to the end of the earth, to the end of the earth, to the end of the earth, to the end of the earth, to the end of the earth, to the end of the year, to the end of the year, to the end of the year, to the end of the year, to the end of the year, to the end of the year, to the end of the year, to the end of the year, to the end of the year, to the end of the year, to the end of the year, to the end of the year, to the end of the year, to the end of the year, to the end of the year, to the end of the year, to the end of the year, to the end of the year, to the end of the year, to the end of the year, to defeat the Seven Evil Demons, and to no longer have any strength, to hinder us, and to separate us again!"

Li Yijie smiled bitterly and said, "That may not be necessary..." Seeing Nangong Xue raise her eyes, she showed a puzzled expression, and then pretended to be free and easy, and said, "Nothing, nothing. Everyone... are all okay?" Nangong Xue pouted her mouth and said, "I only care about you. What about the others, I can't control it."

Li Yijie smiled bitterly and said, "You...what should I do this? It's really hard to feel relieved..." Nangong Xue said softly, "I hope you can't rest assured! Because you have concerns in your heart, you will always be by my side and never leave... Senior brother, are we leaving now?" Li Yijie hugged her in his arms and said, "Okay, let's go, we'll leave immediately, and never go back to the Central Plains..."

Nangong Xue hugged Li Yijie tightly, and used all his energy and enthusiasm, as if he wanted to use this hug to integrate himself into his body. After a long time, the two of them leaned against each other, as if the world had turned into nothingness, and the mountains, rivers and rivers had been eclipsed. They did not notice that Li Yijie's head suddenly dropped and hit Nangong Xue's shoulder, and they stopped moving again.

Although Nangong Xue felt that the senior brother in her arms was as thin as a piece of paper, she could not feel any weight, and she only thought that he was too hard to fight against the Seven Evil Demons for this period of time. Her palm slowly wandered on his back and accidentally touched a place. She suddenly felt a wetness in the palm, accompanied by a faint smell of blood. She lifted her palm to her eyes and saw that her hand was covered with sticky blood, covering her entire palm.

I immediately felt a strong ominous premonition and pushed Li Yijie away. I was shocked to see a huge blood hole in his chest. It is no exaggeration to say that except for the skeletons of the limbs that can still form a complete structural outline, there was no blood left in the entire chest and stomach. When the wind blew in front of the clothes, the broken pieces of clothes floated like cotton trunks, flying all over the sky, and slowly fell on Nangong Xue's side, sprinkled on her head and shoulders.

Nangong Xue was so shocked that she was completely stunned. She held Li Yijie's cheek affectionately and called out: "Senior Brother? Senior Brother...? Senior Brother!" The voice became more and more shrill, and it echoed helplessly in the gloomy woods. She suddenly felt that her tentacles were cold and stiff, and she had been dead for a long time.

So what explanation did he explain the affectionate words just now? Is it because Li Yijie returned to his soul and said goodbye to her? Or did she miss her senior brother too much and have an illusion? Who can explain all this clearly? The sky does not speak, the earth does not speak, a strong wind swept across the vast world, as if only this pair of miserable mandarin ducks were left behind, looking up to the sky and shed tears for thousands of miles.

The wind hit the trunk, rolled upwards, and rushed straight upwards, as if it was about to pierce the sky. Following the trunk, the vision slowly opened up. At this time, the dark clouds that had been shrouded in the sky for a long time had dissipated. A faint blue and golden sunshine shone down, shining on this land that had been baptized by blood and rain, and also dispelled the rich haze in the forest. This seemed to indicate that the desperate adversity would always be overcome, and the dawn of hope would eventually spread throughout the earth, bringing new life to every corner.

—————

March 11th in Shunzhi.

It is the season when grass grows and beetles fly. Three years have passed since the decisive battle between the Zhengdao Martial Arts Alliance and the Seven Evils Saint King in the Jianghu. Both sides have made great sacrifices in that life-and-death battle. It is just because the decisive battle is on a deserted island far away from the Central Plains, and there are few survivors, and it is even more magical in the word of mouth.

After that battle, people seemed to be freed from the danger of being in danger and started a life of peace and prosperity again. But this was just one side, and other places were also full of power struggles. Since ancient times, it has been inevitable. The great hero who ended this disaster with one hand and saved people's lives in dilemma gradually faded into people's memories.

A towering manor stands in a forest in the south of the Yangtze River. A black lacquered gold-plated plaque hung in front of the manor gate, with three vigorous characters "Wenjianzhuang" on the top. It is said that it was written by the imperial pen, which has attracted many people to visit for many years.

At this time, the village is even more lively. Ribbons are hung on the door beams everywhere, and the sound of firecrackers is deafening, and a festive atmosphere is overflowing. The guests in the manor shuttle and come and go, holding carefully prepared gifts in their hands. Any choice is a priceless treasure. As the guests whispered to each other, it seems that today is a great day for the owner to get married.

This question asked the owner of Jianzhuang Manor Tang Yuancheng, who is also the owner of a money house in Beijing. With his outstanding means and reputation for business, he has won unanimous praise from everyone. He gradually rose from a newly opened shop, and the money house has also been expanded several times.

However, it is even more amazing to trace back to Boss Tang's previous years. It is said that he was once the top scholar in the early years of Shunzhi. He served as the young master of the crown prince in the court and was highly valued by the emperor. Three years ago, he participated in the tragic battle against the Seven Evil Demons with the leader of the martial arts world. He was still one of the few survivors because of his lack of martial arts skills.

Then he resolutely resigned from office and retired. The emperor cherished talents. Although he was reluctant to leave, he still respected his friends and agreed to his request. Knowing that he yearned for the freedom of mountains and rivers, he gave him a manor in a beautiful place. He occasionally had leisure time and went out in a short tour in a small way. If there were political problems, he would inevitably bother with this former right-hand man.

Boss Tang is different from other wealthy families. He is kind and generous and deeply loved by the people. From any perspective, it will be beneficial and harmless. Today's happy day is a good opportunity to flatter.

However, some people privately said that his bride came from a bad place, but these few comments were suppressed soon. After all, everyone came for Boss Tang, so who cares about his future wife? Boss Tang’s grandmother, Grandma Tang, greeted guests in the lobby, and her wrinkled face turned into a flower.

There was a noisy noise in the hall, and a young man in green leaned alone in the corner, not participating in the greetings of the guests. He frowned, and seemed a little impatient. The drums and drums kept blowing and beating. Suddenly, there was a commotion outside. Amid the constant calls, he knew that Boss Tang had arrived at the lobby.

This is a young man with beautiful eyebrows, wearing a bright red wedding dress and a bunch of flower belts around his waist. His face is kind, and it makes people feel good at first sight. He bowed to everyone and said the same words, but from his mouth, it makes people feel sincere.

Everyone also responded, praising Boss Tang for his youth and promising, and then wished him a happy marriage with the bride for a hundred years, and gave him a gift. The servants in charge of the checklist kept whispering, and heard the gift with the golden horse sculpture given by the emperor, indicating that he was galloping thousands of miles away and the road was far away. The palace was celebrating the birthday of the little prince Xuanye, but he couldn't get out of time to visit him in person, but even if he just handed over it, it gave Boss Tang a great face.

Prince Cheng, the number one figure in the palace, sent someone to a pair of jade knots, meaning "forever knots and unity". The other people's gifts were not bad either, including the eighteen pearls presented by the South China Sea and the chess pieces made of jade, which can be said to be everything. Boss Tang always smiled and thanked, and the young man in the corner of the wall finally waited impatiently, snorted coldly, and said, "Why is the famous Boss Tang only valued some false texts on the scene? On the day of the happy day, you can't forget your roots, otherwise it will be disappointing."

When everyone heard this extremely incompetent remark, their eyes immediately looked at him, but they didn't expect that he would intentionally offend Boss Tang in public. Without asking, Jian Zhuang's move, several people were ready to take down the arrogant people on their behalf. Everyone was waiting to have some fun and couldn't wait to see him suffer.

Unexpectedly, when Boss Tang saw this, he was immediately overjoyed. He stepped in and pulled him into a side room. He said, "Sorry, I'm missing a little while." It made everyone confused.
