Ghost Li was burning with anxiety, dashed forward with all his might, with his current skills, the flowers and trees on both sides of the path were all toppled, like a crack was split open in the sea. The oncoming wind, because of his speed, his face felt a slight pain but he did not seem to mind.
Right now in his heart, there was only SuRu in the bamboo forest.
Big Huang's barks were still ringing in his ears, extremely frantic, Ghost Li's figure abruptly dashed up from the stone steps, making a sharp piercing sound, dashed up the stone steps. While still in the air, Ghost Li's heart suddenly turned cold, almost could not control himself, almost fell down.
On the ground, there were two holes the size of a person. Beside them were two piles of soil. Looking at the moisture in the soil, it must have been dug by Suru herself. Once he thought of the use of the two caves, Ghost Li turned pale, his scalp numb. And Tian Buyi's body was still quietly lying there, did not move but SuRu, whom Ghost Li was most worried about, was pouncing on Tian Buyi's chest, motionless.
Big Huang was facing SuRu, barking incessantly.
Ghost Li's heart sank, looking at the slender figure before him, he felt a kind of fear, not daring to face her, not daring to go near her. At this time, behind him, a pale Lu XueQi slowly appeared on the stone steps, she stood far away, silently watching all of this.
Ghost Li suppressed his frantic heartbeat, softly called, "Shiniang?"
SuRu's body did not move, did not give any response.
Ghost Li slowly walked forward, each step looked strenuous, Big Huang's barks were still ringing, finally, he approached SuRu, quietly said, "Shiniang … don't scare me …"
His trembling hand touched SuRu's shoulder, Ghost Li clenched his teeth, exerted strength, flipped SuRu's body over, after a moment, an unexpected smiling face, appeared before him.
SuRu smiled, a trace of gratification, maybe she was with her husband.
Her body was still warm, her expression was still serene and dignified, just that there was no more vitality.
Big Huang was still barking crazily but his voice was already turning hoarse!
Ghost Li's legs softened, sat on the ground, the next moment, his mind was blank.
"Shiniang is also gone …"
This was the only cry in his mind, reverberating endlessly in his heart.
The next day, all the other branches in Qing Yun sect received the grievous news from Big Bamboo Valley, head Tian BuYi and his wife SuRu, both passed away.
Tian BuYi and his wife's position in Qing Yun sect was not to be underestimated, they had always been respected, this grievous news in a blink of an eye shook Qing Yun sect, for a moment countless disciples flew over to Big Bamboo Valley to mourn, Tian LingEr who hurried back from Long Shou Valley cried in front of her parents' memorial tablets, and the rest of the elders remembered their old friendship, although they were all accomplished cultivators, many of them also shed tears, especially Small Bamboo Valley head Master ShuiYue Master who was the closest to SuRu.
In this solemn and mournful atmosphere, there were still some unusual traces, with Tian BuYi couple's position and prestige, the rest of the branch heads were all present, only within TongTian Peak, although there were quite a number of elders from the previous generation, the head of the branch, Qing Yun sect head Reverend DaoXuan, was nowhere to be seen, this unavoidably made it seem that TongTian Peak was belittling Big Bamboo Peak branch.
Xavion and the rest of the Big Bamboo Valley disciples were all dressed in filial piety, their faces sorrowful, coming and going to fetch their fellow disciples, all were respectful but when they saw Xiao YiCai and the rest of the main sect disciples, from time to time their faces showed anger, their words also became much colder. Xiao YiCai and the rest felt guilty and could not say anything, other than smiling bitterly, they could only stand aside and keep quiet.
The incense smoke lingered, the sounds of crying incessantly, this sorrowful feeling, most likely was the grief for the death of an old friend, lingering in the quiet and beautiful Big Bamboo Valley. People live for one lifetime, not knowing if after death there will really be a spirit, if it was really so, then the old friend who saw all of this from the netherworld, what would he think?
But most likely that Tian BuYi, would not pretend to be sorrowful!
A figure, floated down from the direction of Qing Yun Hill, seemed to be at a loss, a little puzzled at the junction, finally slowly walked over, at noon, alone entered HeYang City.
The streets were bustling with people, although it was not as lively as in the past but it could be seen that this city was slowly regaining its vitality, some people passed away in the calamity, some survived, and there were even new children who grew up, generation after generation, the cycle never stopped.
Ghost Li stood at the street, quietly watching the crowd, strangers passed by him, like waves and waves, never stopping, he was in the sea of people, all around him were people who were exactly the same as him, they were born, old, sick, dead, quietly and calmly living in the cycle.
But why did people want to live?
Ghost Li suddenly thought.
His teacher and teacher's wife passed away, died in front of him, after the heart-wrenching pain, other than numbness, there was only fatigue.
In this life, what was left?
In this life, he seemed to feel that he was walking on a much longer road than others, and this road, he could not see the end.
He walked woodenly, noises were heard from far and near, hawkers, shouts, if he was willing, he could even hear the voices of a woman lecturing a child a street away, he could hear it clearly, just that all of these, he felt so far away from himself, in a trance, he felt that he was not a human in this world.
Before he knew it, he had walked to a place. Looking up, he saw a familiar restaurant sign. Deep in his heart, his heart suddenly skipped a beat, and he couldn't help but walk in.
The number of customers in the restaurant was pitifully few, evidently the business had not recovered from that calamity, the waiter came over, smiled wholeheartedly and asked, "Customer, do you want to eat or drink?"
Ghost Li was silent for a moment, for a moment could not speak, after coming down from Qing Yun Hill, he was in a muddle-headed state, seemed to be unable to lift his spirits, that feeling, carried some despair, just like ten years ago when he witnessed BiYao blocking that sword for him. And after these ten years, he seemed to have lost that craziness, more fatigue.
"Customer, customer?"
The waiter's slightly raised voice woke Ghost Li, he woodenly shook his head, walked to a secluded seat and sat down.
The waiter followed, still with a smile, said, "Customer, what would you like to eat?"
"You here …" he slowly said, suddenly from somewhere deep in his memory, something flashed, "You here, do you still have 'Steamed Longfish'?"
The waiter was startled for a moment, then he smiled and said, "Sir, could it be that you used to be a regular customer of our Shanhai Court? This steamed Longfish was our signature dish back then, but now you can't eat it anymore."
Ghost Li was taken aback, said, "Why is that?"
The waiter shrugged his shoulders, said, "Isn't it all because of those damned demon beasts, that day when those demon beasts occupied this place, within a radius of several hundred miles, even those fishes in the river outside the city, were swept away, until today, not to mention Longfish that can be used as dishes, even the fry, is hard to find."
Ghost Li seemed to have lost something, his face for some reason, dimmed a few more, the waiter sighed for a long while, then remembered it was him, quickly asked, "Customer, why don't you order some other dishes?"
Ghost Li looked elsewhere in a daze, casually said, "Forget it, bring a few dishes and wine."
The waiter nodded, turned and left, just that when he was halfway there, another three people came in from the entrance, the waiter was shocked, thought to himself that the business had turned for the better today, hurriedly went up, unexpectedly the three of them only looked around the shop, suddenly saw Ghost Li, one of them called out, his voice seemed to carry some surprise.
Ghost Li heard the voice, and it sounded familiar, turned and looked, was also surprised, as the saying goes, it's a small world, the three people standing there were Tanis Ka, Xiao Huan and Wild Dog, the one who called out was Tanis Ka.
