Yan Li didn't say anything, but slowly walked over.
The plank road wasn't stable, swaying with the swaying of the tree trunk.
But for cultivators, even if they fell from such a height, it wouldn't be life-threatening, so there was nothing to be afraid of.
The more they walked, the more they could feel the unique charm of the Divine Dream Lake.
The evening light was only a small part of it. The red soil along the lakeside and the elm, willow, poplar, pine, and other trees grew on it. The shadows of the trees danced like enchanting dancers. From time to time, schools of fish would jump out of the water. At this time, the hunting eagles had already predicted this and would never miss their prey. In every orange prism, there seemed to be a dim star reflected. In a trance, one could see the starry sky reflected, giving the illusion that they were in the starry sky.
The magnificent natural scenery in front of them was painted into an everlasting picture. Even a fairyland was nothing more than this.
"How is she?" Yan Li suddenly asked.
"I heard from my fellow disciples that she has a special liking for the method of Mount Rouge, so she stayed there to cultivate." Gu Caiwei said, "If you miss her so much, why don't you go find her?"
"You don't understand." Yan Li said.
"I understand." Gu Caiwei said.
Yan Li didn't say anything, as if he didn't want to argue with him.
Gu Caiwei continued to say, "I have a Senior Sister, who is our Eldest Senior Sister. She is the former Head Disciple of Mount Lotus. She loves someone deeply, but she can't see him. She personally made a set of chains to lock herself up, but every time I look into her eyes, I know she is always thinking about him, struggling … "
"Why can't she see him?" Yan Li couldn't help but ask.
"It will destroy her, and it will destroy him too." Gu Caiwei said.
Yan Li said, "Because of the method of Lotus Seat?"
Gu Caiwei nodded, took two steps forward, and turned his back to Yan Li. "The fundamental meaning of Lotus Seat can only be cultivated by the inheritor, because the person who cultivates it has to make a cruel choice in the end."
"What choice?" Yan Li asked.
Gu Caiwei said, "When you reach the peak of enlightenment, you have to find someone you love deeply in order to break through. You have to entrust your feelings to that person before you can enter Insight. After reaching the peak of Cave Insight, there are only two choices if you want to continue to break through. One is to kill him and use the power of cutting off all emotions to condense Qi into Primordial Spirit and become an Earth True Immortal. The other is to have Dual Cultivation with him … "
At this point, her pretty face turned pink, but it disappeared in a flash. She continued, "It's the kind of thing between a man and a woman. However, the feelings that you have placed on that person will all be retrieved, and from then on, they will be strangers. "
She sighed faintly. "Senior Sister didn't want to kill him, and she didn't want to take back all her love. So she was demoted from a Head Disciple to an odd-job worker. She had no regrets even though she was humiliated by her peers."
Yan Li said softly, "So when you see Xia Yuhe, it's like seeing your Eldest Senior Sister."
Gu Caiwei didn't reply. She only looked at the surface of the lake and said foolishly, "Perhaps a barrier like a heavenly moat is the foundation of loving someone deeply. Eldest Senior Sister is like that, Senior Sister Yuhe is also like that, and Big Sister Flowing Tree is also like that. And now, even you are like that. "
"You're more pessimistic than I thought." Yan Li said.
"Then why don't you go find her?" Gu Caiwei turned around and stared fixedly at Yan Li. "Sometimes I think, no matter what other factors there are, is it because we don't love each other enough that we can't be together? If we really love each other deeply, even if we die, we'll still be together. "
If we really love each other deeply, even if we die, we'll still be together!
These words were like thorns that pierced deep into Yan Li's heart.
He didn't even dare to look at Gu Caiwei's eyes because she had such a sacred and profound understanding of love. It was like a raging flame that would burn any despicable soul that dared to approach it. Perhaps only someone as pure and clean as her could be safe and sound.
For a moment, he had doubts about the path he had persevered on until today.
Facing Gu Caiwei's persevering eyes asking for an answer, he revealed a bitter smile. "You're right. If I loved her enough, I should have given up everything, including hatred … and it wouldn't have developed to this situation today …"
"Hatred?" Gu Caiwei said.
"Nothing." Yan Li turned his head. "But right and wrong have always been blurred, depending on the perspective. Moreover, there are many kinds of love. When you can't only be responsible for yourself, whether it's redemption or love, it's all within reach. "
At this moment, the sunset gradually faded.
Gu Caiwei murmured, "Senior Sister seems to have met him here."
An object suddenly appeared in the distant sky and flew to the surface of the lake at an extremely fast speed.
The two of them quickly composed themselves and looked over. Under the moonlight, they saw a jade-like young man standing on a red-crowned crane painted with ink, looking at the lake with his hands behind his back.
He didn't seem to notice Yan Li and suddenly took out a brush. Just as the two of them were puzzled, a sudden gust of wind blew on the surface of the lake.
The plank path swayed left and right, and the two of them had to hold on to the handrails to stabilize themselves.
"What is he trying to do?" Yan Li frowned.
An unimaginable aura spread out and enveloped the surface of the lake. The young man stood on the red-crowned crane and drew a line on the surface of the lake. What was amazing was that wherever he drew, a hurricane suddenly appeared, like a tornado plowing through the surface of the lake, leaving behind deep lines that solidified on the surface of the lake.
The young man quickly drew a second line, and another line appeared on the surface of the lake.
The original tornado didn't dissipate, instead, it pierced left and right on the surface of the lake, drawing all kinds of lines.
Then there was a third line, a fourth line, a fifth line … When countless tornadoes interweaved on the surface of the lake, the scene was like a group of dragons coming out of the water, extremely spectacular.
About an hour later, the commotion gradually stopped.
When all the hurricanes dissipated, the two of them were shocked to find that a painting had appeared on the surface of the lake.
Moreover, with the help of the moonlight, they could see clearly that it was a young man embracing a woman holding an umbrella. The woman was leaning on the man happily, pointing to the front and saying something.
Under the two of them in the painting was also a plank path, just like the one they were standing on.
"Could it be …" The two of them looked at each other and saw the same guess in each other's eyes.
The young man riding the red-crowned crane looked at it silently for a long time, then suddenly let out a long sigh and threw the brush in his hand.
The brush swished on the surface of the lake, and lines of words appeared next to the painting.
Yan Li couldn't help but read out loud:
"The long night rustles and builds a lonely house, the summer frost and snow rain blows the dream true. The dusky crow doesn't know the way home, who asks? How can the floating clouds live together for half a lifetime?
