After the villain resigned

Jiang Yili's mother is a gentle woman, her black hair is meticulously combed back into a bun, and a shiny hairpin is dotted on it.

Jiang Yili looks a little like his mother, but Jiang Yi's facial features are more aggressive, while his mother always has a slight smile on her brows, softening her glamorous appearance a bit, making her look a little gentle.

Jiang Yiyi looked at his mother in a daze, but didn't react immediately, and murmured: "You, why are you here?"

Faced with Jiang Yi's reaction, his mother smiled slightly and said, "Yi Yi, did you sleep stupidly? I'm not at home, where else can I be?"

Jiang Yi looked around, this was his home, a small house, a little old, with traces of life everywhere.

"Yes..." Jiang Yi was in a daze, "This is my home."

He forgot what he had experienced before, and only remembered that he had just fallen asleep and was called up by his mother.

"Yi Yi, are you hungry?" Mother only attributed Jiang Yi's trance-like expression to "hungry", "Let's go out for lunch."

Jiang Yili was like a puppet on a string, blankly, he would do whatever his mother said.Hearing his mother's suggestion, he nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay, okay."

Jiang Yi lifted the quilt and got out of bed, and followed his mother to the door. He looked down at the pair of shoes in front of him, a little at a loss.

"How should I wear these?" Jiang Yi's subconscious told him that these were not the shoes he should wear.

"Easy." The mother's expression became a little serious, and taught, "You can't just mess around like this just because I don't buy you the latest sneakers."

Jiang Yi was puzzled: "Sneakers?" What are those?

This kind of reaction made the mother feel that he was a child messing around. She said, "What time is it, put on your shoes quickly, and go out to dinner with me."

The mother decided not to spoil the child anymore, put on her shoes and walked down on her own. She wore a pair of exquisite high heels, which made a crisp sound when they collided with the stairs.

It was only then that Jiang Yi came to his senses, put on his shoes hastily, and caught up with his mother.

His mother had already walked out of the stairs, and on the street, Jiang Yi looked at his mother's back from a distance, and suddenly panicked in his heart, he shouted loudly: "Mom!"

Mother ignored him and walked across the road.

Jiang Yi was a little anxious, and hurriedly followed. The moment his foot stepped on the asphalt road, his heart beat heavily.

Could it be that a speeding car will knock him into the air later?

Jiang Yiyi came up with this idea inexplicably. He stopped and glanced left and right. The road was empty. Not only were there no cars, but there were no shadows of people.

Only then did he feel relieved, and walked slowly across the road.

"What's the matter?" At this time, the mother came back with an ice cream in her hand, "It's hot, eat an ice cream to cool off."

Jiang Yi took the small cylinder, and there was a bunch of light blue objects on it, I don't know what it was.

"This is some new sea salt ice cream." Mother pushed Jiang Yi's hand and asked him to put the ice cream in his mouth, "Didn't you keep talking about it?"

Jiang Yi tried to stick out his tongue and lick it. It was cold, sweet and slightly salty.

It's delicious, but the color is a bit strange, why is it blue?

Jiang Yi's movements stopped suddenly, he stared blankly at the cone in his hand, not even noticing that the ice cream on it melted and dripped onto his hand.

Blue... Following a piercing pain from his temple, a figure of a person flashed in Jiang Yi's mind.

That was a very important person to him, but Jiang Yi couldn't name this person.

He tried hard to recall, and murmured: "Zhou..."

"Yi Yi, what are you talking about?" His mother's call brought him back to his consciousness, "Why can't I open this box, easy, open it for me."

There was a small box lying on the mother's open palm, the whole body was pitch black, without any lock cylinder on it, it could be easily opened, but the mother asked him to help.

Jiang Yi ate the ice cream in his hand in two or three bites, and instead of taking the box, he looked at his mother's face seriously, as if he wanted to remember this face deeply.

"Can I hug you?" Jiang Yi asked.

Mother said, "Of course."

Jiang Yi stretched out his arms to hug his mother, and heard her gentle voice, "Hey, you child, it's all right, please open the box for me."

Jiang Yi hugged his mother's thin and soft body, smelling the familiar and nostalgic breath on her body, but let go of her hand after a while, and took a step back.

"I'm sorry," he said, "I'm leaving."

The mother showed a look of astonishment, and asked anxiously: "Where are you going? Don't you want your mother?"

"No..." Jiang Yi shook his head, "No, this place doesn't really exist."

As his voice fell, the colorful colors around him faded away one by one, traffic lights, billboards, glass windows and other things seemed to be erased with an eraser, and finally there were only two people standing face to face.

With a gentle smile, the mother said softly, "As long as you want, you can stay here forever."

Jiang Yi didn't respond.

Mother continued: "Only mother loves you, don't abandon mother, okay?"

Numerous points of light linger in the void scene, and then put together a brand new scene.

A blood-covered Jiang Yi lay in the middle of the asphalt road. The face behind the scarlet blood was a little immature, only seventeen or eighteen years old.The other mother hugged Jiang Yi's body, weeping uncontrollably

This is the picture of Jiang Yi before his death.

The expression on the mother's face was heartbroken, and she wished she could replace it with her own body.

"Look..." The mother in front of her withdrew her gaze and said to Jiang Yiyi, "Mom is so sad, why are you so cruel, leaving Mom alone?"

There was no fluctuation in Jiang Yi's eyes, and he looked at his mother with black and white eyes, and only said one word: "No."

If it was before this world, if Jiang Yi encountered such a choice, he would have stayed without even thinking about it, because he had nothing to commemorate except his mother, even if it was an illusion, he would be happy.But it was different now, there was another person waiting for him outside the illusion.

Thinking of Zhou Siwei, the corners of Jiang Yiyi's mouth softened unconsciously, and then he took a deep look at his mother, no longer lingering in this illusion, and turned to leave.

The scene around me was regressing, and the mother's anxious call came from behind.

"easy!"

"Easy, you look back at Mom!"

No matter what happened behind him, Jiang Yi's steps were steady without any hesitation. When he was about to leave this illusion, his steps stopped slightly.

"I'm sorry." He sighed softly, apologizing to this false "mother", "'Jiang Yi' here is dead, and there are still people waiting for me outside."

After finishing speaking, Jiang Yi stepped out of this illusion and left the longing buried in the deepest part of his heart.

Yes, the desire in his heart is not about supremacy, nor about immortality, but about returning to his mother, but this is impossible.

Therefore, this made him cherish the people in front of him even more.

Zhou Siwei was still deeply in the illusion.

Holding the gradually stiff body in his arms, his dark blue eyes dimmed little by little.

At this moment, a voice came from nowhere, which contained endless temptation, "Do you want to revive him?"

Zhou Siwei raised his head bluntly and took a look. The surroundings were still covered with ice and snow, and no one else could be seen at all. He asked, "Who is it?"

"It doesn't matter who I am." The voice echoed around, "What matters is, don't you think?"

Zhou Siwei didn't answer, but it could be seen from his expression that he thought that as long as he could revive the person in his arms, he would be willing no matter what the price was.

"That's good." The mysterious man laughed softly, accompanied by the cold wind, looking a little weird, "As long as you open this box, you can achieve what you want most."

A box fell silently in front of Zhou Siwei.

The size of a palm, the whole body is pitch black, revealing delicate dark lines under the light of ice and snow.If you observe carefully, you can find that they are not dark lines, but spells engraved on the surface.

The mysterious man urged: "Open it, open it..."

The place where the box landed was extremely close to Zhou Siwei, almost within reach.

Zhou Siwei's eyes were clouded, as if confused by the voice, without any consideration, he stretched out his hand towards the box.

little by little.

Zhou Siwei's fingertips touched the surface of the box, but for some reason, his movements stopped and he did not open the box directly.

Seeing this, the mysterious man urged again: "As long as you open it, you can get whatever you want. Open it quickly."

Zhou Siwei closed his eyes, grabbed the box with his fingers, and when he was about to open it, a hand was put on his arm, stopping his movement.

"Are you stupid?" Jiang Yi pressed Zhou Siwei's arm hard with his wrist, keeping him away from the box, "Do what others say?"

Zhou Siwei seemed to have just woken up from a big dream, and looked down into his arms in a daze.

The blood, ice and snow were gone with the wind, turning into nothingness, only the person in his arms was real.

Jiang Yiyi put his arm around Zhou Siwei's neck, raised his head and left a lip mark on his cheek, he laughed and cursed: "You big fool."

It was the warm breath from the skin that really woke Zhou Siwei up. He was still in disbelief, and he didn't even dare to touch this body.He was afraid that all this was still a dream, as long as he moved slightly, it would disappear.

Zhou Siwei asked cautiously, "Are you really...alive?"

"How many times do you need me to say it before you believe me?" Jiang Yi was a little helpless.

Zhou Siwei begged, "Tell me."

"Let's put it this way..." Jiang Yi raised his head, looked straight into Zhou Siwei's eyes, "I died, but for you, I came back."

Zhou Siwei stared at the person in his arms for a long time before reaching out and hugging him tightly.

Jiang Yi didn't move, and rested his chin on Zhou Siwei's shoulder, and what caught his eyes was a towering sweet-scented osmanthus tree.This sweet-scented osmanthus tree is really too big, the extended branches are intertwined above the head, and the blooming clusters of sweet-scented osmanthus almost cover all the space above.

A few crystal petals fell on the tip of Jiang Yi's nose, bringing a desolate fragrance.

"What is this place?" Jiang Yi's memory is still in Baiyujing's Baiyu Pagoda, why did he come to such a place as soon as he opened his eyes?

Zhou Siwei replied: "Moon Palace."

Jiang Yi gestured with his eyes, and then asked, "Why are the two of them here?"

Zhou Siwei turned his head and saw two people under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree. Su Donghuang and Shendi also fell into the illusion, their eyes were closed tightly, and various expressions appeared on their faces back and forth. sad.

The scenes they saw before were all illusory, they were still on the outskirts of the Moon Palace and did not enter it.

Zhou Siwei walked over and woke them up.

Su Donghuang was still confused after leaving the illusion, and reflected that what happened just now was false, muttering in his mouth: "Why? I was born again from the ashes."

The God Emperor's face was gloomy, he didn't say a word, and he didn't know what illusion he fell into just now.

"This laurel..." The God Emperor waved away the spot of light in front of him, blocking the fragrance, and reminded, "The fragrance of laurel will make people fall into illusion."

Hearing his words, the people present used their own methods to isolate the scent of laurel from the surroundings.Sure enough, after the fragrance disappeared, I felt that the Lingtai was clear and bright, and I was no longer groggy.

After a while, the God Emperor suddenly said: "What are you going to do now?" One sentence caught everyone's attention, but his face was still cold, "Should we leave or continue?"

Su Donghuang's face was the ugliest, the longer she stayed in the most yin qi, the more unfavorable it would be to her body, but even so she still didn't intend to quit.

She took the lead in expressing her opinion: "I have come here, how can I return without success?"

The God Emperor knew the situation of the Moon Palace the best among all the people, and he had other plans in mind, and it was even more impossible to leave at this time.

"Me too." The God Emperor said.

Seeing that the two had made up their minds, Jiang Yi raised his brows slightly, and glanced at the expressionless face of the God Emperor.

He thought of the black shadow in the White Jade Pagoda, and also thought of his soul leaving the body and appearing in the Moon Palace after being unconscious. These two events must have some connection with the God Emperor, but he didn't say anything and turned his gaze away. Instead, he looked at Zhou Siwei beside him.

Zhou Siwei didn't want to continue taking risks, so he said to Jiang Yiyi: "Shall we go back?"

Jiang Yiyi was about to shake his head when he heard the God Emperor say, "The Moon Palace doesn't just come and leave whenever you want."

Zhou Siwei looked back subconsciously, they came by the moonlight, and now it was dawn, and the moonlight had been covered by the glow from the sky, which meant that they couldn't leave here now.

The way to leave will not appear until the next full moon, and during this period of time, you don't know what danger you will encounter.

Su Donghuang also stood up and persuaded: "In this case, why not enter the Moon Palace together."

Zhou Siwei glanced at Jiang Yiyi and asked for his opinion.

Jiang Yi nodded, and secretly told Zhou Siwei what he had met in Bai Yujing.

"...He must be planning something, maybe it's aimed at us. If we dodge this time, it means he's hiding us in the open. Why don't we go in with them and see what happens."

After listening to Jiang Yi's whisper, Zhou Siwei said to the God Emperor, "I want to know what you are asking for."

The God Emperor answered calmly: "Naturally, it is for the sake of furthering my cultivation, so that I can live forever. It's just that there are many dangers in the Moon Palace, and I can't go in and out freely by myself."

Su Donghuang hesitated for a moment, and also stated her purpose: "My origin was injured hundreds of years ago, and it has reached the point where life is endangered, so I want to seek the secret of immortality."

What both of them said was reasonable, Zhou Siwei pretended to think about it for a moment, and then agreed: "We will enter the Moon Palace with you."

At this time, there was no interference from the scent of laurel, and the group successfully walked to the gate of the Moon Palace.

As in the illusion, a dilapidated palace appeared out of thin air.Walking to the front, you can see a pile of glazed tiles scattered on the ground. Under the erosion of time, it is covered with a layer of scorched black marks, and the white jade floor tiles you stepped on are also covered with thin cracks.But even so, you can still get a glimpse of the exquisite prosperity of the past.

Su Donghuang stopped at the entrance of the palace, and said: "The God Emperor knows the Moon Palace best, and it is better for the God Emperor to lead the way." After what happened just now, she seemed extra cautious, unwilling to enter it first.

The God Emperor had no objection, passed Su Donghuang, was the first to step on the steps in front of the Moon Palace, and walked towards the Moon Palace step by step.During this short journey, the God Emperor did not encounter any danger, and finally he passed the threshold safely and steadily, and truly entered the Moon Palace.

Su Donghuang glanced at Zhou Siwei, her red lips moved slightly, and said inexplicably, "Did you think about what I said before?"

But she didn't wait for Zhou Siwei's response, lifted the corner of her skirt, and followed the God Emperor's footsteps.

Jiang Yi's eyes turned between the two, but before he could ask any questions, Zhou Siwei said firmly, "I forgot, I didn't think about anything."

Zhou Siwei's reaction almost made Jiang Yiyi laugh, he suppressed his smile and said, "Okay, okay, I believe you."

That's not enough, Zhou Siwei said solemnly: "I only like you alone."

Jiang Yi pursed his lips and smiled slightly, and said, "Got it."

Zhou Siwei lowered his head and asked, "Is it just that you know?"

Jiang Yi was taken aback for a moment, a little embarrassed, and spoke in a very low voice: "I too... only like you."

Only then was Zhou Siwei satisfied, and he took Jiang Yi's hand and walked up the steps together.

After all four of them entered it, a melodious sound of silk and bamboo suddenly sounded in their ears.

The sound of the music is pleasant, like the singing of an oriole, and the gurgling of a clear spring, which makes people feel refreshed and happy.

Su Donghuang asked: "An illusion again?"

The God Emperor replied: "It's not an illusion, it's just a reenactment of the past scene."

Su Donghuang looked back, and found that the other three people were still staying by her side, and hadn't disappeared.She turned her head again, and at this moment, a layer of thick fog filled the front, but it only lasted for a moment, and the vast thick fog gradually dissipated, revealing the scene of the Moon Palace from endless years ago.

The toad lamps on the back of the jade rabbit were lit up, illuminating the entire hall, as if the light of the clear moon was shining, dotted with vermilion panes.

The enchanting fairy tapped her toes, waved her white and shiny arms, and the satin in her hand was swayed like flowing water. With a slight force on her wrist, the satin drew a perfect arc in the air and returned to her hand.

Ignoring the four people standing in the center of the hall, they danced to the rhythm of the musicians.

A dancer was near the God Emperor. She arched her instep, landed on one foot and spun her body in a circle. The toe just swept across the God Emperor's face obliquely, and the two were about to collide.

The god emperor didn't dodge or dodge, and when the part of the dancer touched his body, it turned into a phantom and passed through his body directly.These are all scenes from the past and will not pose a threat to people today.

Jiang Yi dodged the silk and satin flying everywhere, and said, "This can't be for us to appreciate the dancing and singing of the ancient immortals, right?"

The God Emperor didn't answer, but looked directly above the hall.

The person sitting in the center is naturally the most honorable person. The God Emperor passed through the beautiful dancers in the center, and stopped in front of that seat, where a man whose face could not be seen clearly sat.

Perhaps it was too long in the past, resulting in the incomplete ghost image left behind, only a pair of eyes on the man's face can be seen.

Jiang Yi stared at those eyes, feeling strangely familiar.

No matter from which angle you look at these eyes, you can only draw one conclusion - they look good.These eyes are so beautiful that I can't think of other words to describe them. Once I look at them, I never look away. The dark pupils almost suck people's soul into them.

Jiang Yiyi was a little dazed, and it was only when Zhou Siwei called out softly that he managed to regain his senses.

"These eyes..." Jiang Yi reminded, "Don't look into his eyes."

Others also noticed the strangeness of these eyes and forced themselves to look elsewhere.

Su Donghuang suddenly exclaimed: "Look at his hands."

Jiang Yi looked over subconsciously, and the man was playing with a palm-sized box in his hand.

A pitch-black box was exactly the same as the one seen in the illusion just now, the only difference was that the box was open.

The God Emperor said: "This is the box, which should contain the secret of immortality."

It's just that there's nothing in the box right now.

An anxious look appeared on the face of the god emperor, but he still said, "Wait a little longer."

Without waiting for a long time, a ball of light containing the breath of life emerged from the fingertips of this faceless man. The light ball floated into the air, and then drilled into the box.

With a click, the box closed tightly.

The man said to himself: "This is, the last... our last inheritance."

He gently placed the box on the table, and there was a slight sound when the box collided with the table. After this sound, the scene in front of him slowly dissipated.

The painted railings and paintings turned into ruins in an instant, everything was a fantasy, only the dark box was still placed on the table.

For a moment, the eyes of the four people were all focused on the box, but no one was the first to touch the box.

After three breaths, Su Donghuang took the lead.

She has the fastest speed in the world, and her slender hands drew afterimages in the air, and pressed her fingertips to the surface of the box.

The God Emperor didn't stop her, but looked at the box with vague eyes, as if hesitating.

Jiang Yiyi and Zhou Siwei didn't move either. They had seen this box in the illusion just now, and felt a little strange, so they didn't intend to touch it.

Seeing that Su Donghuang was about to open the box, she turned her wrist and suddenly challenged the God Emperor.

A ball of fiery flames emerged from Su Donghuang's hands and rushed towards the face of the God Emperor.

At the same time, Su Donghuang questioned: "Why did you bring us here!"
