Chapter 201: The Mystery of Origin
When Lan An pushed the door in again, Bei Ran was still guarding Ah Xun's bedside, maintaining his previous posture and not changing much, but Ah Xun's condition had become worse and worse, and it could even be said that the poison had penetrated deep into the bones, and there was no cure.
Hearing the creaking of the wooden door, Bei Ran came back from her contemplation, she glanced at Lan An beside her, and sighed silently.
Bei Ran was so calm that it was a little abnormal, Lan An thought that she was so sad that the whole person was numb, and after thinking about it, she said: "I have a way to make her wake up and say a few more words to you." ”
Kitazan shook his head: "No need. Then he picked up Ah Xun's gradually cold hand and covered it in his palm, without discussing with Lan An, but told him about Ah Xun's life experience.
"Ah Xun, this child, was born with a hard life, and because of the relationship between his parents, he was ostracized from the infant. When I first met her, she was held in her arms, unable to walk or speak. ”
"At that time, I had just come down from heaven, and I was running around the world like a mountain ghost all day long, and I had no love in my life, and I even wanted to end it on my own several occasions. God arranged for me to meet a couple who were being hunted down and killed at this time, that is, Ah Xun's parents. ”
"It is cruel and ruthless to break up a pair of lovers, but it is not unreasonable for people and ghosts to be admired by the world, and the yang energy of the children born of the combination of humans and ghosts is damaged, and most of them will not live to be twenty years old. Ah Xun is even more because his father is a ghost and his mother is a mortal, so he walked on the side of the road in Huangquan at a young age, and when I met them, she was almost dying. I was so enthusiastic that I stopped the killing, but they were ashamed of violating the way of heaven, so they gave me the child and begged me to save the little cub's life, and both husband and wife apologized for their crimes. ”
Lan listened quietly, without interrupting or asking questions, and let her take care of herself, he knew that she had accumulated too many things in her heart, and confiding in her at this moment could relieve some of her sadness. Then I heard her say again:
"Because I met her on the edge of Xunshui, I named this child Ah Xun, and brought her back to be frozen in Tianxin Lotus for five hundred years, so that she could live to this day, but this twenty years old is still a hurdle. I inquired around and searched all the ancient books, and then learned that if such a child with impaired yang number grows up and marries a man with superior yang energy and aura, and uses his aura to nourish and share the number of lifespans, he can live to a natural death and live a long life. ”
"But as a master who single-handedly pulled her to grow up, I don't just want her to live a long life, I want her to live a thousand years and live forever. Therefore, when she saw that she and Fu Xiangzhi had mutual feelings and many contacts, she advocated that this marriage be held, not only to fulfill them, but also to keep Ah Xun alive. Originally, Fu Xiangzhi was born in Xianmen, his qualifications and talents were much higher than others, and his ancestors were side branches of the royal family, so he was an excellent candidate, but now that this is the case, after all, I didn't take good care of her. ”
Hearing this, Lan An finally answered, "You have taken good care of it, all living beings are suffering, everyone has their own life, do your best to have a clear conscience, some things can't be forced." ”
Bei Ran hooked his lips and smiled, as if he was relieved, and as if he was laughing at himself, "It's a pity that I have been forcing everything in my life, and I am fighting with the sky." Tens of thousands of years ago, I should have been born in the womb of my mother, a martyr who dedicated himself to the battlefield, but I gritted my teeth and survived. Hundreds of years ago, I went to fight for a truth that everyone said was wrong, and robbed a sinner that the Emperor of Heaven wanted to deal with. Many years later, he tried his best to save a child who was not tolerated in the world, and interfered in human affairs that the gods should not care. ”
"In the end, it's not so much that I saved Ah Xun, but that she saved me, if there was no little life in the lotus heart that needed me to water my spiritual power every day and fhackle me, I really don't know how to drag the wreckage of my heart like ashes to perish alone in these endless years."
Lan An's head tightened, for so many years, it was the first time he had seen such a negative side of Bei Ran, and he realized that it was not easy behind her calmness and stability, and these were largely due to him. He actually wanted to go over and hug her and tell her that it was okay and that I was there - as Ji Changkong.
But in the current situation, he can't do this, all his thoughts can only be held in his heart and rehearsed in his head. The only thing that can be said is, "What are you going to do now?" ”
"I want to save her."
"Save ......". Save her? The poison of Yanluo is not just spread badly, but it can really poison Arhats and kill immortals......
"Have you figured it out?"
Bei Ran said firmly: "Yes! ”
Lan An sighed slightly: "Okay, since you have decided, then I won't bother you." With that, he turned and went out, his steps getting heavier and heavier.
"Wait......" Lan An was about to go out when Bei Ran suddenly stopped him, "...... I have a question for you. ”
Lan An paused, did not look back, and said, "You say." ”
Bei Ran's lips moved slightly and wanted to speak, but she found that her upper and lower lips suddenly seemed to weigh a thousand pounds at this time, and she struggled to speak, but it was still difficult to open her mouth and spit out half a word. Not only that, but a hot breath suddenly surged from her chest, choking down her throat and into her eyes.
She doesn't want to cry, she really doesn't want to cry, she is willing to save Ah Xun, and it's not because of this anyway. She took a deep breath, trying to suppress her inexplicable sadness, but the tears flowed more and more unexpectedly, and as a last resort, she raised her hand to cover her mouth and nose to prevent herself from sobbing.
I don't know how long it took, until she felt that her heart no longer seemed to be oppressed by a big stone, she finally asked that question, but her voice was choked, and she said, "Ji Changkong...... Is that you? ”
A long time ago, when they went down the mountain together and encountered a thunderstorm, she was in a daze, and clearly heard the sound of the piano he played for her with her Zitong, not to mention that the piano had to exert spiritual power to pluck, and the sense of familiarity conveyed in the piano music could not be imitated by others.
But she didn't dare to ask, she was afraid that if she asked the answer that was not what she wanted, she would be even more disappointed. What's more, Ji Changkong has been locked in the Heavenly Prison all the time, and his body is locked with a soul chain, how can he get out.
In the days that followed, as she got along more and more, the more she felt that the person next to her was him, and she had tried many times, but this person seemed to have perfected his ability to pretend to be stupid, and no matter how she tried it, he just didn't show his flaws. And everywhere hints to her: no matter how much he resembles him, he is not him.
She also forced herself to believe, Lan An is Lan An, Ji Changkong is Ji Changkong, and the two should not be confused.
But now that it's coming, she still wants to ask: Ji Changkong, is it you?
