Her face was not old yet, what about her heart?
She looked at herself in the mirror for a long time, sighed, and put the small round mirror on the table. Then, she got up and walked to the window. She stretched out her hand, and with a creak, the window was completely opened.
The morning light immediately flooded into the house, chasing away all the darkness, lifting one's mood. A faint smile appeared on Suru's face. Facing the window, she slowly stretched her body.
The feeling of the morning breeze on her face, carried a faint chill.
She opened the door and walked out.
Seeing that it was still early, most likely those disciples had not woken up, never mind, let them sleep a while more, later she still had to instruct them to go down the mountain to search for BuYi, most likely they would be tired.
Suru thought so, strolled towards the front hall of Observed Silence Hall.
The winding corridor slowly extended under her feet, outside the corridor, the slender bamboos swayed in the morning breeze, making rustling sounds. For some reason, Suru in such a morning, discovered many things that she usually neglected.
The paint on the railings of the corridor, over the years, mottled and peeling, many places had peeled off. She remembered the last time Observed Silence Hall was when she and Tian BuYi were newlyweds, unknowingly, this corridor had accompanied her for countless years, and she passed by here every day and did not notice. When Tian BuYi returned, she must let him find time to repaint it again.
And the thickest slender bamboo in the bamboo forest outside the railings, she could still vaguely see the two small swords carved on the bamboo, that was when she was newlyweds, she carved it on the green bamboo, hoping that the two swords could join together, cultivate immortality together. She remembered at that time, Tian BuYi laughed at the ugly carvings, she pretended to be angry, immediately made him anxious, after coaxing for a long time, he then let him off.
The scene, was still vivid in her mind, Suru's lips revealed a trace of smile, her mood improved. She took a deep breath of this slightly sweet morning air, continued walking. Then, she thought, Da Huang was raised by BuYi since young, he had been gone for so many days, she did not know if the disciples took good care of it, if it accidentally lost some weight, BuYi would grumble and scold again when he returned.
Suru smiled and shook her head, decided while it was still early, she would go to the kitchen to take a look at Da Huang. She was thinking along the way, unknowingly, she had reached the front hall of Observed Silence Hall.
Clang!
The first bell in the morning, came from afar, that was the signal for Qing Yun Sect to wake up, and also the sound to wake up this new day. The sound of the bell was deep and heavy, echoing in the mountains for a long time.
Suru's heart seemed to jump along with this voice.
In front of the Hall of Observed Silence, there were figures either kneeling or lying down, and Da Huang, who had always loved to sleep, for some reason, woke up so early today, and obediently lay on the stone steps of the Hall of Observed Silence, looking listless.
As if it heard something, Big Yellow's ears twitched, it turned its head and looked into the Observed Silence Hall. In the shadow that was not completely lit up by the morning sunlight, a lady was standing there, staring blankly at everything.
Suru did not know why her heart was beating faster and faster, so much so that it felt like it was going to explode, causing her to feel suffocated. The figure that was quietly lying on the stone steps of Observed Silence Hall, was so familiar that it seemed to be engraved in the deepest part of her soul, a shadow that could not be erased no matter what.
But right now, she was praying a thousand times in her heart, she was wrong, she saw wrongly ….
Her face was as white as paper, her feet like lead, step by step she slowly walked over, her lips also trembling slightly. Da Huang, who was lying beside Tian BuYi, looked at Suru who was slowly walking over, its tail gently wagged at her but it buried its head on the ground again, its eyes silently watching its master who was lying in front of it.
Nearing, finally nearing to a place where she could no longer escape, Tian Buyi's familiar face imprinted into Suru's eyes, he seemed to be asleep, peacefully asleep.
SuRu only felt the world was spinning, her feet staggered and almost fell to the ground, luckily her cultivation was high and managed to steady her body, even so, her eyes were still blacked out, her legs were weak, she walked to Tian BuYi's side and sat down.
Trembling hands, slowly caressed Tian Buyi's clothes, when it passed by Tian Buyi's chest, Suru's hands paused for a moment, trembling even more violently, then, two clear tears slowly flowed down from the corner of her eyes, drop by drop, landed on Tian Buyi's face.
She gently caressed her husband's face, the touch was icy cold, waves of coldness came from her palm, like the coldness deep into her heart. She stared, her lips trembling, like she wanted to say something but not a single word came out.
Beside her, Da Huang made a mournful cry, moved its head over, gently rubbed against her legs.
She slowly raised her head, looked at the figure kneeling below the stone steps, and the grey monkey beside that figure, after a long while, she quietly, choked with sobs, said, "You are …. Xiao Fan?"
Ghost Li's body trembled, did not raise his head, on the contrary, his head instead buried even lower, even tightly stuck to the rough ground. The mud rubbed against his skin but he seemed to be unaware, after a while, his trembling voice was heard,
"Yes … disciple …, Shi … mother."
Suru smiled mournfully, said, "You don't have to be like this, get up and speak."
Ghost Li knelt on the ground, did not raise his head, as if he had lost all his courage, did not dare to look at Suru, quietly said, "Disciple deserves to die ten thousand times, did not … did not manage to protect teacher …" His voice was intermittent, like every word, to him, was a kind of punishment.
Suru slowly lifted Tian Buyi's upper body, hugged him in her arms, her body trembled slightly, not knowing if it was because she felt the coldness of Tian Buyi's body, or thinking, to use her own warmth to warm up this cold body.
"You get up." Her voice sounded hollow and desolate, in Ghost Li's memory, he had never heard of Suru speaking in such a helpless tone, and this discovery, made him feel even more fearful and in pain, couldn't help but move his face slowly in the sand, so that the pain on his face, could distract his heart that was about to explode.
"If you don't get up, how are you going to tell me what happened?" Suru indifferently said, but her eyes were only looking at the body in her arms that had long lost consciousness, as if at this moment, her eyes could not hold anything else.
Da Huang crawled forward two steps, used its head to gently nudge Tian Buyi's body, whining softly.
Ghost Li's body paused for a while, slowly straightened up, raised his head, looked at Suru. That dignified and beautiful girl, even at this moment when her heart was dead, did not seem to have lost her grace, in the morning breeze, her slightly undulating hair, fluttered beside her temples, accompanied by her fair face, stuck to Tian Buyi's face.
"You are back, you are finally home …"
This was what Ghost Li heard Suru say, the last sentence.
Then, all of a sudden, the blood in his chest surged and rolled like a raging wave. Following that, his vision turned black. It was as if a string that had been stretched taut in his mind had snapped in an instant.
He, a "plop" sound, like a wooden plank falling to the ground, fainted.
Just as he was about to lose consciousness, everything in front of him turned black, and he felt as if his entire body was being burned by fire. It was incomparably hot, but inside his body, it was as cold as ice. Suddenly, a few shouts came from afar. The shouts were filled with fear and pain, and after a while, they turned into cries.
Chaotic footsteps were heard everywhere but they were all heading towards the same direction.
"Shiniang! Shiniang! … "
This silent cry, was the last and only thought that flashed through Ghost Li's mind, and then, he lost consciousness.
