"You … didn't you choose to accept your fate … why did you suddenly change your mind and want to get rid of … the original sin?"
"How should I put it!"
Gu Qingfeng descended from the sky and sat on a branch of a plum blossom tree. He opened a jar of Hell's Impermanence wine and gulped down two mouthfuls. "Ever since I ignited the original sin fire at Mount Wudao and slept for ten thousand years and woke up, I really wanted to accept my fate and didn't want to torment myself anymore. It's the same now. But there's no other way. I want to accept my fate, but others won't give me the chance to do so."
"You … aren't you the same …" Jun Xuanji said faintly. "I'm afraid your heart won't … give you the chance to accept your fate …"
Jun Xuanji's words struck a chord in Gu Qingfeng's heart.
Indeed.
Even if others were willing to give him the chance to accept his fate, the pride in his heart and the stubbornness in his bones wouldn't allow him to accept his fate.
Gu Qingfeng could convince himself, but he couldn't convince his heart.
"You … didn't you realize?"
Gu Qingfeng asked curiously, "What did I realize?"
"The more you want to get rid of the original sin, the deeper you'll sink …"
Hearing this, Gu Qingfeng fell silent.
How could he not realize it?
Ever since he knew about the original sin, he had always wanted to get rid of it. But for some reason, the more he wanted to get rid of it, the deeper he sank. Especially after igniting the original sin fire at Mount Wudao, he felt as if he had fallen into the abyss of original sin and couldn't climb out.
If he could still see some light in the past, then now Gu Qingfeng couldn't see any light at all after falling into the abyss of original sin.
"You … shouldn't have ignited the original sin fire back then … shouldn't have …"
"Then why didn't you stop me back then!" Gu Qingfeng didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He said, "Are you still holding a grudge against me? Is that why you didn't stop me from jumping into the fire pit?"
"I … told you … many, many times … don't seek … karma, don't … try to get rid of the original sin, and don't … try to change fate … you never listened … to my words … you always clung to your own course … when Wudao Mountain descended … I also looked for you … and told you not to go up Wudao Mountain … but you still didn't … listen …"
"Alas!"
Gu Qingfeng sighed gloomily. He thought about it carefully and realized that it was true. Back then, Jun Xuanji had indeed told him several times not to search for karma, not to get rid of original sin, not to change fate … When Wudao Mountain descended, in order to stop him, she even said that either he killed her or she would kill him.
"It's all because I was too young back then … If I had listened to you back then, I wouldn't have ended up like this."
"Back then … I asked you … to kill me …" Jun Xuanji said. "Why didn't you … do it …"
Gu Qingfeng didn't answer this question. Instead, he asked, "Back then, I also asked you to kill me. Why didn't you do it?"
Similarly.
Jun Xuanji also didn't answer Gu Qingfeng's question.
Silence.
No one spoke again.
The night was very quiet.
Only the sound of plum blossoms falling could be heard.
After some time, Jun Xuanji's voice sounded again.
"Do you … know what original sin is?"
Gu Qingfeng shook his head. He really didn't know what original sin was. Although everyone said that he had fallen deeply into original sin, he really didn't know anything about it.
Even though Nameless Ancient said that original sin was a kind of Dao, a primitive Dao.
But that was only what Nameless Ancient said.
Gu Qingfeng might not know what original sin was, but he could feel that the existence of original sin was definitely not as simple as a Dao.
"Haha …"
Inexplicably, Jun Xuanji laughed. Her laughter was very strange.
Gu Qingfeng frowned and asked curiously, "What are you laughing at?"
"You don't even … know what original sin is … but you keep trying to get rid of it. Isn't this … funny?"
"Hahahaha!"
Gu Qingfeng was also amused. He was so amused that he laughed loudly.
"You … what are you laughing at?"
"If I'm amusing, then aren't you even more amusing?"
"Why?"
"You keep wanting to end all of this, but you don't even know what to end. Isn't this even more amusing?" As he spoke, Gu Qingfeng shook his head and said, "I suddenly realized that the two of us are quite similar. I don't know what original sin is, but I insist on getting rid of it. You don't know what to end, but you insist on ending it …"
"Ending it isn't important. What's important is that … I want to end all of this …"
Gu Qingfeng shrugged and said, "It's the same for me. It doesn't matter what original sin is. I don't care what it is. Even if it's a blessing from God, I want to get rid of it."
"You … don't want to get rid of original sin at all …" Jun Xuanji scattered a plum blossom petal on the ground. She looked down at the falling petal and said, "It's … fate."
Gu Qingfeng drank his wine and said calmly, "Isn't what you want to end also fate?"
"Perhaps."
Jun Xuanji turned around and looked at Gu Qingfeng, who was lying on the tree branch. She said, "Can you give me a jar of wine?"
"You …" Gu Qingfeng tilted his head and asked in surprise, "You still drink wine?"
"Can't I?"
"Why not?" Gu Qingfeng raised his hand and took out a jar of Hell's Impermanence wine and threw it over.
Jun Xuanji took the wine jar and waved her hand. With a bang, the lid of the wine jar flew off. Then, Jun Xuanji raised the wine jar high and the Hell's Impermanence wine in the jar poured down like a waterfall. She raised her head slightly and opened her red lips slightly, drinking the wine that flowed down.
In the night, under the moonlight, in the plum blossom forest, in the sea of flowers. Looking at Jun Xuanji drinking wine, Gu Qingfeng was stunned for a moment. His thoughts seemed to have returned to the ancient times.
Back then.
He hadn't fought for the Nine Serenities yet. He was still the King Chixiao of the Immemorial World.
Back then, Jun Xuanji hadn't lost her way and hadn't fallen into depravity. She was still the Supreme Empress of the Immemorial World.
Back then, he had stirred up trouble in the Immemorial World and Jun Xuanji had been chasing after him.
When the two met, they fought until the sky turned dark and the earth turned dark. They fought for a very, very long time. They fought until they were exhausted and exhausted.
It was the same for Gu Qingfeng and Jun Xuanji.
The two of them stopped to rest.
Gu Qingfeng drank wine. Back then, Jun Xuanji had also asked for a jar of wine from him.
He still vaguely remembered that Jun Xuanji drank wine like this back then.
The difference was.
Back then, Jun Xuanji was as beautiful as the sun and had a dignified aura. But now, although Jun Xuanji was still beautiful, she was as beautiful as the lonely moon and had a desolate aura.
