Ancient Sword II: The Tracking of the Fierce Mountain

Chapter 12: Reunion ([-])

I don't know if it was the sudden hug, or the familiar yet unfamiliar temperature, Xie Yi was stunned and unable to respond, even the dull pain in his chest was ignored by him.

The slightly dazed eyes reflected those crumbling ancient walls. Is this a dream?Or is he actually still trapped in the tomb of the goddess and unable to get out?

The scenes I have seen in my dreams countless times are similar to the present, but each time the master's attitude is different, indifferent, indifferent, joyful, painful, and then everything about donating poison will reappear in the dream, It made him unable to recognize clearly and guess what kind of scene it would be if the two really reunited.

So now, is it in a dream?After waking up from the dream, is it another despair?

"...Master?" Such a hesitant question was not in his Xie Yi's nature, even in the hundred years since he became Chu Qi, how could he have hesitated?

It's just that the feeling of being close to the hometown is timid, and I'm afraid that the big dream will be realized first, leaving sadness in vain.

The arms hugging Xie Yi gradually tightened, and he heard a solemn answer like a promise: "Yes."

Xie Yi's gaze was still blank, he spent too much time underground, he even had the illusion of not knowing what year it was, and this was indeed his current situation.

When the tomb of the goddess was parted, what happened to them later?What happened to the demon?What happened to Floating Moon City?What happened to the people he cared about most?He couldn't imagine it, but he couldn't help thinking about it.

Is it a lose-lose situation?Did anyone die?What about the people in Floating Moon City?Did it migrate to Longbing Island?What about Master?When all the dust settles, how will he choose?

It's been too long, he has been isolated from the world for too long, even if he can't see the passage of time, even if he can't hear the great changes in the sea, he still knows that time has really passed too long.

It was so long that he got used to the two completely different memories in those hundred years.

It was so long that he didn't dare to imagine whether those people were still alive and whether they were still in place, allowing him to search for traces of the past.

"...Master?" Xie Yi couldn't help calling out again.

The embrace became tighter and tighter, but the strength did not make Xie Yi feel pain.

"Yes." He heard the man answer.

"..." Xie Yi closed his eyes and sighed slightly, "Oh, really, it's like a dream."

"Do you think this is a dream?" Shen Ye's voice was as usual, but he didn't raise his head, and didn't let Xie Yi see his face, he just pressed his shoulder on the other person and asked dully.

"No," Xie Yi shook his head lightly, "This subordinate is not so stupid."

"Subordinate?" Shen Ye finally raised his head, his stern eyes were the same as Xie Yi's memory, but there was a slight difference.

At this moment, Xie Yi's smile is gentle, like the flowing water, penetrating his heart, and has the sharpness after the vicissitudes of life, like a sharp sword in its sheath, ready to go.The pale complexion made the red magic lines at the corners of his eyes more vivid. That was the price paid for the infestation of Gu insects and the infection of magic energy.

Shen Ye caressed Xie Yi's cheek, stroking the magic pattern, Xie Yi was taken aback by such an intimate gesture, he opened his mouth, hesitated for a moment, and said softly, "Master?"

"Xie Yi..." Shen Ye raised the corners of his lips and smiled slightly. He didn't know that after so many years, he had learned to smile again, from the heart, without hiding it, so naturally, "We, there are many more Something to say."

Xie Yi was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled: "Yes..."

Really, there is so much to say.

**********

The ripples on the calm surface of the lake did not dissipate, and they rippled in circles, gently washing the sandy land on the lakeshore.The Yanjia who opened the Yanchu Stone Gate had already returned to the bottom of the lake. It was an agreement with the Goddess of Wushan. After opening, it was sealed again, which was also for her peace after sleeping.Xie Yi's persuasion was useless, and he could only compromise in the end.

"Wushan Goddess..." Shen Ye looked at the unfathomable bottom of the lake, there were several rocks protruding from the water, covered with green moss, covering up the pattern of the elk parade, "Unexpectedly, she woke up. Unexpectedly, she saved you."

When Chu Qi was trapped in the tomb of the Goddess, she was seriously injured. When her consciousness gradually disappeared, the Wushan Goddess who was supposed to sleep forever woke up.

Maybe it was because Chu Qi was too similar to that Si You, or maybe it was because the goddess knew that if Chu Qi was not rescued, she would be the only one left in the tomb, so she tried her best to stop everything before the top of the sky collapsed. The core of the tomb was split apart, and the remaining divine power supported the living space of the two.

Afterwards, the goddess even reshaped the body for Xie Yi. After all, the Gu worm was dead, so staying in the body would cause harm but no benefit.

When Xie Yi said this, his faint smile was the same as before, but Shen Ye's eyes were a little dark, and he pressed on the other's chest under Xie Yi's slightly surprised eyes.

"Putong" "Putong" is the sound of heartbeat, it seems to announce that this person is alive, he is living by his side, and will never leave.

It was rare for Xie Yi to feel uncomfortable. As for why, he couldn't explain for a while, but until Shen Ye took the initiative to withdraw his hand, he did not refuse.

It's like going back to when he was still in Chu Qi, no matter what Shen Ye did, no matter what Shen Ye asked him to do, he would never refuse.

"Then what's the matter with your magic pattern?" Shen Ye asked, "Residue of magic energy?"

Xie Yi shook his head: "It's just a trace left behind." He looked at Shen Ye, and after he stabilized his mind, he asked, "Where is Master? How has Master lived these years?"

He could see the difference in Shen Ye, not only the clothes he had never seen before, it was almost weird clothes, but also Shen Ye's attitude, facing himself who had obviously recovered his memory, he There was no reprimand, no previous hatred, it seemed that he had returned to the original state. At that time, he was still his most proud disciple.

What happened?Xie Yi thought like this, and even though he was mentally prepared, when Shen Ye told everything after being silent, Xie Yi was still stunned.

So, has it really been that long?

Liuyue City disappeared in smoke, and his master made atonement with his body...

The chest pain caused by excitement caused Xie Yi to cover his mouth and cough again. It shouldn't be like this, it shouldn't be like this, if he could have stood beside Shen Ye back then, if he had tried his best to protect Shen Ye back then, it would have been the last time. At least it shouldn't have ended like that, his master shouldn't bear this eternal infamy!

The trembling body was once again surrounded by warmth, feeling the strength of the caress on the back, Xie Yi heard the comfort from Shen Ye: "It's over, now all of us will live well."

Like a guarantee for the future, after breaking the curse of Lie Shanbu's death in his prime, everything will be different.

"Master..." Looking at Shen Ye with gentle eyes, Xie Yi found that the heavy shackles that the other party once carried seemed to be really relaxed.

So after the remorse and heartache, there was some relief.

Can the master who should have been like an eagle in the sky and unpretentious, finally be able to let go of everything and spread his wings to soar...

"Xie Yi." Shen Ye said suddenly, he lowered his head, only Xie Yi was in his eyes.

Xie Yi just looked at the other party intently, and then heard the other party say in a tone he had never used before: "From now on, stay by my side all the time."

Xie Yi was stunned.

Shen Ye is so calm, he missed it for too many years, searched for it hopelessly for too many years, should he still pass by?He will never allow it.

"Master...I..." Xie Yi felt his mind go blank. He naturally planned to go to the Lieshan tribe if he could leave the tomb of the goddess from the beginning, and stay by Shen Ye's side as before, but why did he follow the teacher? Zun's mouth said, but there is a strange smell?

Shen Ye's eyes were so deep, so deep that Xie Yi couldn't help it.

But before Xie Yi opened his mouth to answer, there was a sudden "click" sound, which was the sound of someone stepping on a dead branch. Xie Yi and Shen Yegu looked back vigilantly, and saw a man standing awkwardly in the distance. There is a section of dead vine under the feet, which is probably the source of the sound.

"Well, I didn't do it on purpose, you..." Seeing Shen Ye's eyes turned dangerous, the man could only apologize apologetically, "Why don't you just ignore me and continue?"
