Early in the morning, when the sky had just brightened, the sky around Qing Yun Hill was overcast with dark clouds, soon it started raining. The rain became heavier, very soon the world became a patch of grey, the pitter-patter of rain was everywhere, shrouding the towering mountains in a layer of mist, appearing hazy and mysterious.
The sound of the rain beating on the green bamboo leaves, seemed to have never changed for thousands of years, always seemed very lonely on Qing Yun Hill. From the extended roofs covered with moss because of the long years, the water droplets turned into water curtains, strand by strand like pearls falling down, landed on the bluestone paved ground, splashing up like pearls.
There was wind in the rain, blowing in the rain, carrying a faint moisture and rain powder, lingering between the windows, as if yearning for something.
Lu XueQi stood in front of the window, looking at the misty mountain scenery outside, endless, in such a cold time, as if there was only the sound of the rain beating on the bamboo leaves reverberating between Heaven and Earth.
Where the breeze passed, her black hair gently fluttered, the feeling of the rain powder brushing past her face, as if a wave of coldness seeped into her skin. She gently pursed her lips, her hands holding the window sill, the sound of the rain, seemed to be far and yet near, in the end seemed to fall into the depths of her heart.
Just that, would there still be ripples?
Footsteps were heard outside the house, someone gently knocked on the door, Lu XueQi silently turned back, quietly regained her senses from the misty rain, walked over to open the door, senior sister WenMin was standing outside.
Lu XueQi smiled faintly, said, "Senior sister."
WenMin looked at her slightly haggard face, frowned, walked in, Lu XueQi then closed the door, both of them sat down in the simple house. WenMin first looked at the bed, saw the bedding was neat, sighed, said, "You didn't sleep last night?"
Lu XueQi quietly said, "I couldn't sleep."
WenMin looked at Lu XueQi, felt a stab of pain in her heart, she entered Small Bamboo Valley earlier than Lu XueQi and had always been on good terms, with Lu XueQi's aloof and aloof character, other than her mentor ShuiYue, only WenMin was her best friend and could speak a few words with her. Recently Lu XueQi's troubles kept on coming, WenMin who was watching from the side also felt anxious, although she was anxious but there was nothing she could do, could only watch Lu XueQi's relationship with her teacher and Qing Yun sect elders getting worse and worse.
The room was silent, WenMin did not know what to say, but after a moment, Anan spoke softly, "Senior sister, this time because of my matter, I am really sorry to you."
WenMin was stunned, said: "What?"
Lu XueQi said: "I heard that a few days ago Big Bamboo Valley's Tian Shishu and Suru Shishu personally brought Song Daren Song Shixiong to propose marriage but teacher rejected and even quarreled with Tian Shishu."
WenMin laughed bitterly, in her smile there was a tinge of bitterness, slowly shook her head and said, "Ai... that, that is also nothing much, besides this has nothing to do with you, it is all because he and I are not fated, and we all know, teacher has always hated Big Bamboo Valley people."
Lu XueQi silently shook her head, said, "No, that day was when I contradicted teacher and angered her, so I also implicated you, if not with SuRu teacher uncle beside, Tian teacher uncle also willing to give such a big face to personally propose, your matter most likely would be successful. But... senior sister, I am really sorry! "
WenMin smiled, let out a long breath, said, "Alright, don't blame yourself here, I am not doing well, and teacher is only in a moment of anger, there may still be a chance in the future." Speaking till here, she glanced at Lu XueQi, said, "Let's not talk about my matter, what about you, what do you intend to do, you can't always be in a deadlock with teacher like this right?"
Lu XueQi's face turned pale, was silent.
WenMin pondered for a long time, said, "Junior sister, I more or less know what you are thinking, but it is not a solution for you to continue like this, Zhang... that person, he after all has already entered the Evil Way, despised by the world's Good Faction, and taking a step back, this time you went to the southwest, at the battlefield where the Evil Sect and the demon beasts fought, the scene there you..."
WenMin suddenly stopped, did not continue, because right now Lu XueQi's face seemed to have instantly turned pale, even her clear eyes, seemed to be engraved with deep pain.
The room was silent for a long time, the sound of rain outside the window, loneliness without words.
Finally, WenMin still spoke in a low voice, "I'm afraid he is really not in this world anymore, you being so persistent, the one suffering will only be you."
Lu XueQi's face was pale, did not speak, slowly stood up, walked to the window and gazed out, that mountain of rain and mist, misty and lingering, like a dream or an illusion, even the rain droplets blowing against her face, seemed to carry a trace of unreality in the coldness.
"I know..." This cold and beautiful girl, in this river of misty rain, softly said, "Maybe he is really gone, sometimes I also thought, actually to him, this might be a release. I also know, teacher scolding me, is not wrong, it is all my fault, I should not have wishful thinking, I should not... should not... "
Her voice suddenly choked with sobs, WenMin stood up, was about to go up to comfort her, unexpectedly Lu XueQi suddenly turned, her white clothes fluttering, like a lonely cloud.
There seemed to be water droplets at the corner of her eyes, crystal clear, with a trace of sadness that had never been seen before, said, "Senior sister, I know but I just can't let it go. Even if I sever this emotion thousands of times, but in the end I still can't sever it, can't escape. After returning from the southwest, I have told myself countless times, he is dead, he is dead, everything is over. But, every night after I fall asleep, I dream of that tragic scene in Venomous Serpent Valley, dreamed that he was being... "
Lu XueQi suddenly stopped, her expression was so agitated that even WenMin was worried but Lu XueQi very quickly calmed down, only in her eyes, there was still that sadness, "And then, I woke up with a start, my whole body covered in cold sweat, like being in an icehouse!"
She quietly looked at WenMin, and then her expression gradually turned frail, as if her body also started to tremble, said, "Senior sister, I, what happened to me, what exactly happened to me?" She suddenly threw herself into WenMin's arms, WenMin hugged her shoulders, felt her frail body was trembling slightly, beside her ears, her quiet voice was heard.
"Senior sister, I can't take it anymore, I really can't take it anymore …"
WenMin was silent, tightly hugged Lu XueQi who had never been so frail before, this once aloof and aloof cold girl, right now seemed to be the world's most sorrowful person.
…
Silence once again covered everything, the rain outside the window was heavy, low choking sounds seemed to be heard in the wind. Outside the house, at the edge of the bamboo forest, ShuiYue Master stood silently, holding a green umbrella, staring blankly at that house in the storm.
Then, she slowly turned and left, disappeared into the bamboo forest.
Between Heaven and Earth, the wind and rain were howling, it was a desolate time.
In HeYang City, it was also raining. Tanis Ka, Tonni and Wild Dog Taoist three of them walked out from another secluded alley, merged into the crowded main street, tried to walk a few steps and then retreated to the roadside, firstly there were too many people, it was difficult to walk, secondly they wanted to take shelter from the rain and discuss.
And this time the three of them were divided into two factions, Xiao Huan insisted to go back to the morgue again to take a look, Zhou YiXian refused no matter what, Wild Dog Taoist this time for the first time supported Zhou YiXian.
Tonni's strength was weak but she was eloquent, one against two, in addition Wild Dog Taoist although this time his opinion was different from hers but often with a glare from Tonni he could not speak, so most of the time only Tanis Ka opposed.
Right now the three of them were standing at the roadside, Tanis Ka lowered his voice and said, "You silly girl, why are you still going back to such a dangerous place, going back to die?"
Tonni curled her lips, said, "To think that you have lived for so many years, grandfather, do you know there is a thing called morality?"
Tanis Ka angrily said, "Morality? Morality my ass! What morality are you talking about after you are dead, that ghost-like guy is very powerful, if we go back, aren't we going to die? "
Wild Dog Taoist nodded, said, "That's right, going back is really not appropriate …"
Tonni's gaze swept over, rolled her eyes at him, Wild Dog Taoist's heart jumped, immediately could not continue.
Tonni turned and looked at Tanis Ka, said, "Grandfather, last night if not for him saving us, we would already be dead, and would not be standing here arguing about morality or not. Isn't it wrong to go back now? "
