Moonlight, lake water.
Not only did it wash away the mud, but it also washed away the fear in her heart.
Qian Jun had seen too many deaths. Some were natural, some were unnatural. They were all different. She knew that death was a necessary process for life to change. She had also heard many people's repentance and realization before they died. She understood many things. It could be said that she had long been used to seeing death. However, the death of her loved ones still left a very big shadow in the depths of her heart. Especially her mother's death, it made her feel the helplessness of life from the bottom of her heart … Because of this, she worked especially hard. She hoped that through training, she could become stronger, break away from this fate, break free from the shackles of death.
She did it.
Through extreme training, she became a strong person that far surpassed ordinary people.
However, the fear in her heart still existed. Although she usually did not think about the family's curse, it still followed her like a shadow.
"It's like a dream …" Bathed in the moonlight, Qianjun recalled that when she was young, she once had such a dream. She was playing in a quiet lake with a round moon hanging in the sky. The little girl in the dream was playing very happily. Until her mother passed away, her dream began to change. The lake turned red, and the moon in the sky hid behind the thick clouds. The moonlight was no longer there.
Now, she felt like the little girl in the dream.
The moonlight was like a veil.
The lake was full.
The heaven and the earth reflected each other. This kind of peace and tranquility seemed to be able to cleanse one's heart.
Qian Jun turned around to sneak a glance, and he noticed that the man on the shore was raising his arms towards the sky as if he was about to pluck the stars and embrace the moon, and he who was bathed under the moonlight seemed like a god that had descended into the world … With just a glance, Qian Jun felt the terror in his heart swiftly lighten up and vanish without a trace, and an indescribable confidence flowed like a fountain and increased by a thousand times, and it silently filled his entire heart.
"I believe in him not only because he has power that far exceeds my imagination, but also because of the more important reason, the shackles of fate." Qianjun remembered what Yun You You had whispered to her. "There is no coincidence in life. When you walk on the street, you will meet many people, but they will feel very unfamiliar because these people have nothing to do with you. They are just passers-by in your life, coming and going in a hurry. However, there was one kind of person, no matter how they appeared, their acquaintance, friendship, or even enmity, was a kind of fate fetters. Perhaps, the heavens had already determined this outcome … As for the changes within, it was up to the individual's choice. Some people might choose to get to know each other, as the friendship between gentlemen was as indifferent as water. Some people might choose to make friends and know each other for life. Some people might choose to make enemies and fight to the death. Your fate is actually in your own hands. If one day, you meet someone who could possibly influence your entire life, you must seize the opportunity and not miss it. Otherwise, you may walk on a completely different path in life. "
Should he continue his past?
Or should she choose to believe in him, choose a different direction, choose a brand new path?
Qianjun lowered his head.
She quietly asked her heart. She needed the truest answer.
Without the fear of death and without the confusion of life, in the depths of his soul that had been cleansed, Qianjun seemed to see the light of the moon shining through the thick shadows in his dream. Not long after, it had already illuminated his entire heart.
"Believe." Qianjun clenched his fist, "It's not enough to rely on my own efforts. Since I have already met that person who could possibly influence my life, I will believe in him. Perhaps this choice is wrong, but it doesn't matter. No matter how wrong it is, it's just the price of death. Death has never been far away from me. It always follows me closely like a shadow. If I make the right choice, I may be able to walk on a brand new path of light. In the sky of freedom, I can fly to my heart's content! "
Once again, he strengthened his belief.
In Qianjun's heart at this moment, there was no longer any fear. There was also no more bewilderment like before.
She washed to her heart's content, determined to wash out a new version of herself. Only when she felt refreshed from head to toe did she sprinkle the lake water in her hands towards the sky. Under the moonlight, it turned into a dreamy splash of water filled with hope. She turned around.
Her footsteps were incomparably relaxed, but unusually firm.
Step by step, she walked towards Lin Dong who was on the shore. She had completely forgotten her shyness. Right in front of him, she opened her arms, as if she was hugging hope, forming a beautiful arc. Qianjun slowly raised her head towards the sky. Through the night sky, through the veil-like haze, she looked at the dream that had once disappeared. Her heart and soul returned to the peace and worry-free childhood.
Her beautiful eyes, under the moonlight, sparkled, "I'm ready!"
Lin Dong nodded and slowly walked over.
When Qianjun closed her eyes, she felt his fingers lightly touching her skin. First, it started from her forehead, starting from the center of her eyebrows. Then, it moved towards her cheeks and cheeks. He was also drawing a pattern. Perhaps, he was applying some kind of medicine according to the acupuncture points. After the pattern was completed, Qianjun felt a vitality pill being gently fed into her lips. The vitality pill's medicinal power ignited her whole body. A huge amount of energy surged in her body. She had an urge to release it. However, she knew that this was an important moment, so she tried her best to resist.
Just at the moment when her heart calmed down, she felt as if he forcefully applied a sword finger to the center of her eyebrows.
Her entire soul seemed to have been pierced by him.
The center of her eyebrows.
She felt something slowly escaping, but it was not blood, nor was it gas … Could it be the evil power of the curse? Thinking of this, Qianjun did not dare to act rashly!
Lin Dong's fingers continued to slide downwards, neck, shoulders, chest, abdomen, and finally even along the inside of the thighs. It circled around the back, flew diagonally up the back, and returned to the shoulders. Then, it was the left and right wrists, including the back of the hands and palms. Everything was within the range of the drawing.
Finally, it was the two legs, from the thighs down to the knees, along the ankles to the instep.
Qianjun even felt that he lifted her foot and drew a pattern on the Yongquan acupuncture point on the sole of her foot. Fortunately, her balance was very good, and her mind was focused. Otherwise, she would have fallen.
What was he trying to do?
No, her heart had to maintain an empty state, and she could not let her imagination run wild … Otherwise, it was very likely that his efforts would be in vain!
"Hah!" Just as Qianjun was forcing herself to focus, she suddenly heard Lin Dong shouting. His voice was like the roar of thousands of troops and horses, shaking the mountains, and the echo lingered between heaven and earth. Qianjun's heart was greatly impacted, and suddenly became blank. Her brain could not think at all. But Qianjun knew of her existence, and she knew that she was standing in front of him, but she could not think, and was as still as wood and stone.
Lin Dong's hands moved like lightning, and after drawing an extremely beautiful circle, his left and right fingers burst forth.
Qianjun's Baihui, glabella, chest, dantian, and the gate of life behind her back.
In an instant, she was hit all of them.
She felt that some kind of dormant power in her body was awakened, and it twisted wildly, making her feel pain like her bones were broken, but she could not struggle, and she could not even cry out in pain. Along the acupuncture points that were hit, the dormant power crazily squeezed out, like a volcanic eruption.
The unbearable pain almost knocked Qianjun down, but with the help of the vitality pill, she persevered and endured it.
Even she felt that it was incredible.
When the pain was gone.
There was a sense of relief, as if a big stone had been removed from her body, and her whole body seemed to be singing. The shadow of death and the fear of childhood had been filled with life energy, and there was no longer a trace of darkness in her heart.
She opened her eyes in surprise, and found that the sky was full of moonlight, and everything in the world seemed to start to become extraordinarily clear at this moment. Even the air seemed to be abnormally fresh. The smell of grass and soil was strange, but now it began to become fragrant, like the fragrance of flowers, and refreshed the mind. Qian Jun felt that she was like a little bird, free and at ease, and the happiness of her childhood was overflowing. If it wasn't for her strong willpower that allowed her to restrain herself with all her might, she really wanted to dance and play happily under the moonlight to vent the happiness of her new life!
Lin Dong handed her the clothes, "I've applied the medicine."
Qianjun suppressed her excitement, and asked him with a trembling voice, "Don't you need to be afraid of mosquitoes and leeches in the future?"
"En!" Lin Dong gave her an affirmative answer.
"That's great!" Qianjun was knocked down by the great happiness, and she could not help but cover her face, letting the happiness after being freed, little by little, overflow from the gap of her fingers, and from the tears of crying. Now the tears, were no longer sadness, no longer worry, all were freedom and new life.
Lin Dong patted her shoulder, and turned to walk towards the small lake.
Because she was too excited, Qianjun did not notice that there were a few crisscrossed wounds on Lin Dong's wrist guard, which looked like it was caused by a sword. Of course, even if she had seen it, she wouldn't have known the use of this Raging Bull Wrist Guard. She wouldn't have known how strong the defensive power of this wrist guard was, or how much damage Lin Dong had suffered for her to be able to leave these scratches on it … He had quietly made a move, and quietly changed her life.
Qianjun did not know the truth, but it did not mean that she did not know how grateful she was.
She knew in her heart.
She knew that he must have sacrificed a lot for her, but he did not say it.
Through her tearful eyes, Qian Jun quietly looked at his back. Under the faint moonlight, she saw a man appear in the lake in her dream. He washed the lake red. She believed that she would never forget this scene in her life … The red lake water might not necessarily represent an ominous omen. It might not necessarily represent death. Sometimes, it might also represent a new life. A new life that was redeemed after others had paid the price of their blood!
When Lin Dong returned to Qianjun's side, he was no different from before.
The red lake water seemed to be a beautiful illusion.
Between heaven and earth.
Whether it was the moonlight that shrouded everything, or the cool lake water, everything was as calm and peaceful as before.
However, Qianjun knew in her heart that she had changed. The previous her had changed here, and the past her had obtained a new life here!
"Let's go!" Lin Dong nodded to her, as if he was very satisfied with her current state of mind. "Without those trivial things to disturb us, we can now concentrate on our work. The foreign devil should be in front, let's continue to chase!"
"Yes." Qianjun had already put on her clothes, but only now did she know that she was shy. Her eyes did not dare to look at him, and she responded in a low voice, following behind him with light footsteps. After moving forward for a while, when they were almost around the lake and preparing to enter a forest, Qianjun looked back. She seemed to see a cute little girl with braids, playing happily by the lake. She stepped on the water happily, running back and forth, her little mouth letting out a bell-like laughter from time to time … Qianjun turned around and followed Lin Dong's footsteps.
There was a smile on her lips.
Although she did not laugh out loud, her smile was as sweet as the little guy in her dream!
