Peach Blossom Dyeing Jinge

Yue Baiyu was already standing by the river.

The waves on the river became even more turbulent, whistling low in the gloomy darkness.The torrent crashed into the rocks on the shore, and the wave was higher than Bai Yu's head, like the mouth of a beast, with sharp teeth in a row.

If such a ferocious beast swallowed her, it would probably chew her to pieces, and would not even spit out a single bone.

Bai Yu was still walking forward, without the slightest fear on his face.

No one could have imagined that following her footsteps, the first to be crushed was not herself, but the waves.

The mysterious bird formed by spiritual energy hovered above her, with a graceful and sacred figure. The wind under its wings swept across the river, splitting the huge waves and creating a calm path in the rushing water.

Even the plank of the boat tied to the shore stopped bumping, like a tamed wild horse, obediently lowering its head and waiting for its master to arrive.

She stepped on the board of the boat, her apricot-colored skirt fluttered in the wind, and her figure was somewhat sacred. If she kept going all the way, she might really be able to reach the other side and leave this closed valley .

If it wasn't for someone stopping her in front of her.

Lu Dongqing was unarmed.

Although he has practiced swordsmanship for many years, this time he felt unprecedented ease because he let go of the sword.

"Get out of the way." The girl spit out cold and ruthless words in a clear and clear voice, and the tip of the knife in her hand was pressed against his heart.

Lu Dongqing stared at her, her eyes were gloomy, and her face was almost expressionless, even though she was such a smart child, her proud smile, tears of regret, cheeks puffed up when she was angry, and eyelids drooping when she was disappointed, all were covered by her. Swallowed by night, it ceases to exist.

She seemed to be dragged into a nightmare. In the dream, she was no longer herself. She was omnipotent and fearless. Even if she pierced the chest of the person facing her with a blade, her hand would still be steady as usual.

But the dream will always wake up. If the dream wakes up, will she regret it?

Lu Dongqing shook her head: "I won't let go."

Bai Yu said coldly: "Aren't you afraid that I will kill you?"

"If I don't get out of the way, are you really going to kill me?"

"Why not, you don't even have a sword, it's easier to kill you than to crush a bug."

"That's true, but what happens after you kill me? Is the great future you expected paved with your life?"

Bai Yu was taken aback.During the interval of her silence, Lu Dongqing took another step forward, and continued: "I don't know if the gods have abandoned the Yushan tribe, but I know that if they are still there, they will never allow Baiyu to kill innocent people indiscriminately. What do you say You will fulfill Baiyu's wish, but this is just your sophistry, Yue Baiyu will never have the wish to kill someone."

"You're not her, how do you know?"

"Because she promised me that the reason why she practices martial arts is definitely not to kill people, but to protect people. Although the Yue Baiyu I know is stubborn and willful, he is definitely not a child who lies."

Lu Dongqing continued to step forward as if he couldn't see the dagger, and let the sharp silver blade pass through the gap in the skirt of his clothes and hit his flesh.

His chest was still stained with blood, which was the footprint left by the blade on his neck, and fresh blood beads oozed out along the gap, sticking to the blade that had been full of blood.The adam's apple moved up and down, swallowing the needle-like pain into his throat.

His body screamed to escape, but strangely, his heart was as calm as still water.

There are moments in life when you risk everything and have nothing to fear.Because you have no way to escape, you can only go forward.

Baiyu was not calm, the tip of her knife was no longer steady, and her fingers trembled for the first time.

The person who is stabbed by the knife is not afraid, but the person holding the knife is afraid.

Her eyes were bloodshot, and those blood-red filaments grew from the soles of her feet like vines, wrapped around her limbs, and strangled her throat.

"Baiyu, do you still remember what you promised me?" Lu Dongqing stood in front of her and said softly, "I will never watch you fall into evil ways and become a villain who will bring disaster to the country and the people. So I will use my own life to stop you."

Lu Dongqing stared at those eyes, even though they had become a container for Youying to appear in the world, there was still a part of Baiyu's thoughts buried in them, her sadness and mourning were still flowing in those eyes.

There is no eternal happiness in life, but there is eternal hatred.

Hate is engraved deep in the soul and will never be easily erased.

So she was angry with the person standing in front of her. That person was staring at the darkness similar to hers, but his eyes were full of tenderness and compassion.

She didn't understand where these tenderness came from.

She asked sharply: "Disaster to the country and the people? Your parents were wrongly killed by the current monarch, don't you hate it?"

"I hate, of course I hate," Lu Dongqing said in a deep voice, "but hatred can't bring back the dead, it can only torture the living."

"You said you wanted to cleanse them. Are you lying?"

"My wish has never changed."

"There is always a price to pay for the realization of wishes."

"That should be paid by me too, not by you."

Yue Baiyu was startled.

Lu Dongqing stared at those eyes, and said word by word: "I promise you, one day I will find out the truth of the year, clear up the grievances of the Yushan people, and restore the integrity of the world. , I will do whatever I want. I will fulfill your wish, so you don’t have to associate with the Demon Cult, let alone kill people against your will. If you believe in me, stay and wait for me.”

Yue Baiyu stared at him in amazement, his voice trembling involuntarily: "You...why are you telling me this?"

"Because I am your senior brother." He raised the corner of his mouth and showed a faint smile, "The karma of the Yushan clan is too heavy for you, so let me bear it."

There was no insincerity in his words, for he had never been a good liar.

He just confessed his heart truthfully and without concealment.

Yue Baiyu kept shaking his head, and said loudly: "No, Baiyu doesn't need it! Get out of the way! Let me go!"

Her blade was raised and lowered, but it still couldn't advance half an inch.

She thought that she had already made up her mind to dedicate her body and life to the god who accepted her, just to fill the hole in her chest.

But there was a person who came to her and put his heart into it, regardless of the price or asking for anything in return.

Her determination was like ice in March, easily melted by this defenseless man in front of her.

Lu Dongqing squatted down in front of her, raised her arms, and gently embraced her shoulders over the scarred blade.

"Bai Yu, put down the knife, you are still young, you shouldn't touch so much blood."

The knife in her hand fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

The wind rising from her feet finally subsided gradually.

The pitch-black wings spread out in the air, and the black bird raised its neck high, as if it was screaming hoarsely, but its sound also faded away along with the figure.

The black night sky returned to clarity, and the river flowed again.

Yue Baiyu lost strength under his feet and fell forward, just falling into Lu Dongqing's arms.

Lu Dongqing followed the trend, only then did she realize that her hands were so cold.

"Bai Yu? Bai Yu?" He eagerly called the girl's name.

The girl buried her head in his shoulder, and whispered in a soft voice: "Brother, I... really want to talk to you... for a while..."

Her voice stopped abruptly, and even the sound of her breathing faded away, becoming inaudible.

Lu Dongqing felt his shoulders sink, and his heart tightened: "Baiyu! Hold on!" He grasped Baiyu's hand, only to find that her palm was as cold as ice.

He tightened his arms, trying to lift the girl up.At this time, a cold silver light flashed in the corner of his eyes.

A cold arrow sprang out from the darkness and shot straight at his back.
