Volume 1: The Beauty That Causes Trouble Chapter 111: "Ode to the Phoenix - Fragments" (Six)

Squeak...

The bamboo door of the house was carefully pushed open, and a slender woman walked in carrying a bamboo basin filled with washed clothes. She looked to be twenty-three or fourteen years old, but she showed the fragility and pity that only a fifteen- or sixteen-year-old girl could have. She was as quiet and delicate as a bright hibiscus under the moon. She was dressed in gray and white coarse cloth, but it could not hide her dazzling beauty like the stars in the night sky and her aura like the rain in the sky. Especially her eyes, which are clearer than the purest crystal, and so beautiful that they eclipse everything else in the world.

After seeing clearly where he was, Yun Che anticipated her appearance. And the moment she pushed the door open and entered, his heart was still beating extremely violently. Her eyes and expression were frozen, staring blankly, as if everything in the world turned pale and colorless at this moment, leaving only her figure. All his emotions, all his thoughts, all his beliefs were surging crazily and completely at this moment... That year, she died in his arms. After crying, he thought he was I will never cry again in my life. But at this moment, he felt the warm tears flowing uncontrollably under his eyes...

Emotions that were so throbbing that they no longer belonged to him were chaotically intertwined in his chest. He had forgotten where he was and that he was still in the trial. All his emotions, at this moment, turned into the call from his soul, with a slight weeping sound...

"Ling'er...Ling'er!!"

Bang!

The bamboo basin in the woman's hand fell to the ground. Looking at Yun Che sitting up on the bed, her beautiful eyes showed deep surprise. She rushed to his bed in a few steps. Her expression was eager, but she tried her best to make her voice sound So softly: "Brother Yun Che, you're awake...do you still feel pain in your body? Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?"

The woman's face was close at hand, and the aura of her daughter impacted Yun Che's heart heavily. Her eyes were filled with joy, anxiety, worry, as well as deep resentment and longing... exactly the same as those that appeared in her memory and countless dreams. However, he never dared to think that one day, he would be able to see these most beautiful eyes again.

He gradually became obsessed with watching, his lips kept trembling, but he could not say a word. At this moment, his thoughts completely fell apart, leaving only the figure in front of him that was deeply imprinted in the depths of his soul and would never be forgotten until his death. He desperately opened his bandaged arms, and when Ling'er exclaimed "Ah", he hugged her tightly, as if he was afraid that if he let go a little bit, she would be hurt. will leave you.

"Brother Yun Che..." Ling'er's body was stunned for a long time, and then she hugged him back, snuggling her body completely against his chest, and murmured softly.

"Ling'er...Ling'er...Ling'er..."

Yun Che knew how miserable he was at this moment, and his heart was completely confused. From his shouts, he could hear the clearest cry, and could feel the tears constantly sliding down his face.

This was a scene that would only appear in his dreams after that painful loss. His heart was so warm that it almost stopped beating, making him feel that even if he died soon, he would be endlessly satisfied. If he could, he would never let go again, no matter how high the price he had to pay...

In those years, he got used to her existence and used her as his harbor. Every time his body was stained with blood and he was dying, he would desperately crawl to the hut she built for them with his own hands... Every time he needed warmth, he would come here involuntarily... Every time he would be manic and crazy. , and will always come here to seek peace. And she always healed the wounds on his body and mind time and time again, went to catch fish in the stream for him; patted his back, and coaxed him to sleep like a baby... He was too vigilant, and he usually... He would wake up once after sleeping for half an hour. Only with her, he would sleep until noon the next day...

She was his only warmth at that time.

However, he was blinded by hatred and regarded revenge as all he had in life, but he only regarded all this as a habit... It was not until the day he lost that he truly understood that this girl had been more important than his life and his hatred. important.

She told him with tears again and again not to seek revenge. That was her only request to him while giving without regrets, but he did not listen... Even at the last moment of her life, she still used her last voice. She persuaded him not to avenge his master or her... not because it was her relatives who killed her, but because she was so eager for him not to continue living in endless hatred...

Once lost, no matter how painful or regretful it is, it can never come back. If he could, he would exchange everything for it, even his life and soul.

"Ling'er...Ling'er...Ling'er..."

He held Ling'er tightly in his arms and called out again and again, longing to never wake up from this dream. This sense of happiness that has been lost and found is so warm that it cannot be described in any words.

"Brother Yun Che..." In his ears, Ling'er whispered softly, as light and blurry as a dream: "Stop thinking about revenge, okay? Your master is alive in heaven, and he will definitely not I hope to see you like this... As long as you don't seek revenge, I can promise you no matter what... The two of us can stay in this bamboo forest, you stay with me, I stay with you, for the rest of your life... for the rest of your life. ...I will be your gentlest wife...never leave you...ok?"

Her fragrant breath, her voice and words are all so familiar, because it completely belongs to her smell and voice, and it is what she has said to him many times... In the past, every time she said to him When he said these words, he could feel the throbbing in his heart, but immediately, he would be suppressed by hatred again...

After the loss, he had imagined many times that if time could be reversed and God gave him another chance, he would never refuse it again, absolutely not.

Without any hesitation, he nodded extremely vigorously, five or six times in a row, and said firmly in a hoarse voice: "Okay! Okay! Ling'er, I listen to you, and I promise you, I will never take revenge again." , From now on, you are my life, wherever you are, I will always be with you, protect you, and never be apart!"

Every sentence, every word, every emotion comes from the depths of the soul. How he wished he could shout these words to her back then.

Ling'er cried with joy, holding him tightly with two jade-like arms: "Brother Yun Che, are you telling the truth? Is it true?"

"It's true. Every word is true. If there is one lie, I will be punished by heaven and earth." Yun Che said firmly every word.

After saying these words, he gently closed his eyes, his expression was so peaceful and content. He felt a sharp and cold object pierce deeply into his back, blood surged up, and his consciousness quickly dissipated under the heavy weight...

The picture in front of him disappeared in distortion, and the world returned to darkness. Yun Che opened his eyes, and in front of his sight were those two huge golden pupils.

"I failed." Yun Che laughed at himself, but his smile was very peaceful: "I thought that with my state of mind, I could easily pass this third trial, but I overestimated myself. Haha, I must have disappointed you, my pursuit of power is not that firm."

The voice of Phoenix Spirit came: "Your soul induction told me that from the beginning, you knew that it was just an illusion. You also clearly saw the dagger beside the bed and picked up this one clearly. By stabbing that girl to death with a dagger, you can break this illusion and easily pass this trial. Why would you rather indulge yourself in this illusion, or even suggest to yourself that everything is real in your heart? The powerful power is no match for that temporary illusion?"

"I can't do it." Yun Che slowly shook his head: "This illusion comes from the most precious memory deep in my soul. It is both an illusion and the most real beauty deeply imprinted on my soul. You won't I don’t understand how important that girl is to me, let alone how much I owe her. Even if it was just a dream, I would never want to hurt her at the cost of losing my powerful power.”

"Even so, why did you not push her away or even dodge when you clearly noticed that she secretly picked up the dagger and stabbed you?" the voice of Suzaku Spirit asked in confusion.

Yun Che smiled, and his smile was very sentimental: "I know that it was an illusion created by you forcibly interfering with my memory... My Ling'er, even if she allows herself to die, she will never cause any harm to me. . However, I am willing to die in her hands, because I owe her more than just a life. Although being able to die in her hands is illusory, it can make me feel less guilty. "

The Phoenix Spirit was silent for a long time.

"I long for power, but there are many things in this world that are far more important to me than power. I need power in order to be able to protect those more important things. It seems that I do not have the fate or qualifications to receive the gift from The power of the phoenix... However, even though I failed the trial, I am still very satisfied, because this trial allowed me to see her again, hug her, and even give her the promise I wanted to give her in my dreams..."

Yun Che laughed, his smile was very warm, without any trace of unwillingness or regret.

"It seems that the girl you call Ling'er is really important to you. You also have a heavy regret in your heart because of her. However, you don't need to suppress this regret in your soul. Deep inside. You have traveled through reincarnation with the Xuantian Treasure and tampered with the law of cause and effect in this world. Under the butterfly effect, time, dimensions, and planes have all changed accordingly. Some regrets and shortcomings may not be resolved and made up for. opportunity.”

"You traveled through reincarnation with the Xuantian Treasure." These words shocked Yun Che's heart. He looked straight into the huge golden eyes in front of him and was speechless for a long time.

Xuantian's treasure... travels through reincarnation... Could it be that it has seen his two lives? And the reason why he has been a human in two lives...is the journey through reincarnation brought about by the Xuantian Treasure?

Xuantian's most precious treasure... Jasmine said that the Sky Poison Pearl fused with his body was one of Xuantian's most precious treasures. But the Sky Poison Pearl's abilities focus on poison, medicine, smelting, space, and detection, so where does the ability to travel through reincarnation come from?

As for the words behind this sentence, he didn't understand it at all. He asked tentatively: "What do you mean by these words?"

"Haha..." Phoenix Spirit laughed mysteriously: "You only need to understand half of it, and the rest must not be revealed. As your power grows and your height in this world continues to rise, one day you will fully understand it. ”

Yun Che pondered, then nodded: "Phoenix Spirit, although you tampered with my memory illusion and let my Ling'er stab me to death, which made me a little unhappy, but thank you, but I failed this trial after all, and I should leave here."

"No, it's not time for you to leave yet. Because you have successfully passed the third trial."

"Congratulations, human who carries the power of the evil god, you are the eighth trialist in countless years who would rather give up power than hurt the illusion of his loved one. You are eligible to receive the gift from the phoenix."
