Between Forgetting and Remembering (2)

have no fire in your eyes. Walking towards the light like that, I almost thought I was still dreaming.""And you were looking at me like you were about to cry... I thought I was making a scary face! Th......how to...

Should I just leave Or should I just ignore you from now on

I can't say these things, and I can't be without him.

I can't live without him...

This kind of talk is a bit pathetic, lacking self-respect and backbone.

But I truly don't want to be separated from him, we were originally two ends that are impossible to reach.

He once said, let me grow old in solitude, he wouldn't come to bother me.

At that time, I felt it was liberation, but now I feel it is a kind of fear.

There's no woman whose heart can't be warmed.

"...just, won't bother you, I'll go find the way again." I lowered my eyes, not wanting to look at him.

I'm afraid I can't control myself.

It's been so long since I last saw him, I really miss his voice and scent. I clenched my fists tightly, digging my nails into my flesh.

Use pain as a reminder.

Jiang Qiyun's blue smoke was like a poison that clung to my bones. It drifted lightly beside me, that ambiguous and private distance almost made my emotions on the verge of collapse.

What does he want to do

"Mu Xiaoqiao, you shouldn't have come here... Here, if you don't comprehend it thoroughly, you won't be able to leave."

Can't figure it out Can't move forward

What does it mean

His black eyes held no flicker of emotion, was this his split soul Or was it his malice

"What do you mean by that" I stammered.

If this thing is Jiang Qiyun's evil thought...

His former evil thoughts were merged with the Blood-Faced Ghost King, giving him immense magical power. With my empty hands… how can I possibly resist

"Who let you in... Bai Wu Chang" he asked in a low voice.

I nodded hastily, my voice trembling as I said, "I didn't mean to disturb your meditation. It was the Seventh Lord... I don't know what he did. Anyway, I fell asleep in bed and heard his voice in a daze, saying something about 'benefits'. Then I suddenly fell off the bed! And then I saw something different..."

These explanations, he may or may not hear.

He smiled gently, shaking his head. “Bai Wu Chang... no, it's not him... he doesn't have that much ability yet..."

I frowned. Had I been tricked

It wasn't that Bai Qiye was bullying me, but that I was arranged to be brought here

“I, I just came to find that headless ghost! The one at the palace gate! Then Bai Qishe asked me to stamp on your behalf, saying there was a backlog of official duties... So I used your name seal— oh right, I took it off!”

I touched my chest, when I was asleep, Mingzhang was holding the stamp and helping me get stamped!

"Where's Mingzhang" he narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Sorry... I didn't lose it, Xiaonie is holding it and helping me get a stamp..." I puffed out my cheeks, a little annoyed. Who plotted against me again this time

To be able to invite Bai Wuchang for a friendly performance, it must definitely be a big shot!

Jiang Qiyun's soul image fell silent for a moment, then suddenly chuckled in a low voice: "Here, only the Great Emperor Qinghua Taiyi Divine Venerable is allowed to enter..."

"Ah! Is this… too great of a deity to have let me come in here to find you"

I can't believe it, isn't Tai Yi the kindest and most protective deity

Why did he have to get me into this

Jiang Qiyun smiled knowingly: "…Do you know where this is"

I thought for a moment, and replied in a low voice: “I heard... that you are sitting and forgetting yourself in the illusionary realm of Qinghua Changle.”

He chuckled and let out a low hum: "Away from the illusionary realm... Time here is the most drawn-out..."

"What do you mean" I asked, perplexed.

"A day outside, here is a year... I've been talking to you for so long, out there, it's just a blink of an eye, understand" he asked.

I frowned and asked, "So... while I was outside, thinking you'd been gone for over two months, you've actually been here in a state of blissful ignorance for eighty years"

"Hmm... yes, that's right..." He smiled. "Here, you have to comprehend the highest state of the Seven Emotions and Six Desires of the immortal deities before you can leave."

"Oh..."

"Oh You little fool, aren't you afraid" he suddenly laughed.

Afraid

What are you afraid of

He shook his head. “Only when you’ve reached the highest level of understanding can you see the true nature of this illusory realm. Otherwise… you’ll be trapped in this dark, frozen wasteland forever. I don’t mind, but you… you still have a yin-yang dual Qi body… how many years can you endure”

Oh!

"You, you're saying! If I haven't comprehended that highest level, it's possible I could die here and never get out!"

He nodded slightly and snorted, “...still so stupid.”

I... I don't know!

My goodness, is this too much for me! I can't believe it!

My meager abilities are hardly remarkable even in this mortal realm. How could I possibly fathom the highest reaches of the seven emotions and six desires!

How is that even possible to comprehend!

If I die here… My brother is still waiting for me! What about Yu Gui and You Nan!

"What should I do...I, I don't know why I was thrown here...Did Taiyi the Great God think I was too dull and let me fend for myself!"

I cried so hard.

These celestial deities are simply playing with me like a plaything. Does my insignificant will as a mere mortal even matter to them

Jian Qiyun smiled gloomily.

I always felt that his separated soul's image was off.

He wasn't so playful, nor so mischievous.

Especially the distance between us, he kept getting closer, almost whispering into my ear.

But he was a wisp of blue smoke, he lingered by my side, teasing me so that I stood on end, goosebumps all over my body.

It's so cold, my lips are trembling from the chill.

He kept seeping into my bones, that icy and ambiguous factor.

"You...aren't you supposed to be seeking oblivion..." I took half a step back.

But he lingered around me like smoke and a phantom, almost never leaving my side.

"Indeed... Sitting and Forgetting... Originally, sitting and forgetting for a hundred years wouldn't be such a big deal... But because of you... I don't want to leave you alone in the world... So I came to this illusory realm to contemplate the highest state of celestial beings, transcending seven emotions and six desires..."

His voice held a self-deprecating chuckle. "But it's so difficult, so very difficult, I can't even begin to understand... why would I find this so hard to let go of... why would I be so unsettled..."

No way... I'm getting panicked. Could he have gone crazy

I was being pushed too close, and I retreated step by step, feeling a little overwhelmed. — At this time, I was facing Jiang Qiyun, sitting with my back to him. As I backed up, I saw that he had closed his eyes as if asleep.

"Don't retreat anymore, Mu Xia Qiao... There's a crack ahead, fall down... and you can be reincarnated..."

His voice held amusement, and seeing me freeze in place, he leaned closer with even more pleasure. His nose brushed lightly against my cheek, sending a strange tingling sensation through me.

Perhaps, the deity wants you to come…to cure my obsession.

I took a deep breath and asked, "So, tell me... who exactly are you"y in the valley, its dark mouth gaping open.The layout of the village is actually quite sophisticated. Many eccentrics and geniuses live here, and they know how to build structures on the most reasona...
