Chapter 79: Obsession

Tianlang-Jun's body was badly damaged, Zhuzhilang was nailed to the rock wall, Master Wuchen was supporting Wuwang, whose head was bleeding, Mobei-Jun was carrying Shang Qinghua, and Yue Qingyuan was standing beside Shen Qingqiu.

Only Luo Binghe stood facing the Heart Demon Sword, lowering his head and slowly adjusting his sleeves.

Shen Qingqiu said in a deep voice: "Luo Binghe, come here."

Luo Binghe shook his head.

Just once, but very firmly.

Shen Qingqiu was extremely disappointed and said coldly: "...You lied to me again."

Luo Binghe said: "Master, I said I would help you deal with Tianlang Jun. Now I can kill him right away to show you, how can you say that I lied to you?"

Tian Langjun smiled and said, "Keeping the enemy to protect oneself is a good idea. It's a pity that I'm not very useful, so he has to do it himself."

As soon as the words "raising an enemy for one's own benefit" came out, Shen Qingqiu felt even more uneasy.

Could it be that Luo Binghe gave the Heart Demon Sword to Tian Lang-Jun on purpose?

After getting the Heart Demon Sword, Tian Langjun's body made of Lu Huazhi corroded faster and faster. Even if he was given the sword, it would not pose much of a threat to Luo Binghe.

Perhaps he had gone too far and showed his thoughts on his face. Luo Binghe said sadly, "Master, what are you thinking about? He did steal the Heart Demon Sword, but it still recognizes me as its master. Why don't you believe me again?"

Shen Qingqiu said slowly: "I have believed you many times. Until just now, I still believed in you."

Luo Binghe said: "Really?"

He gave a twisted smile: "But I don't dare to believe Master."

This smile was extremely strange. Shen Qingqiu noticed that he was in a bad mood, so he softened his expression and tone: "What's wrong with you?"

He became a little gentler, and Luo Binghe suddenly stopped smiling.

He looked heartbroken: "Master, I told you before that you are happiest when you are with them."

At first, Shen Qingqiu didn't understand what "they" meant.

Luo Binghe paced back and forth slowly in front of the rock wall of the Heart Demon Sword.

He laughed at himself and said, "Every time I asked Master to come with me, you never agreed. Even if you did, it was only because I forced you. But when they asked you to stay, you did not hesitate at all."

He looked at Shen Qingqiu: "Master, you don't smile often. I love to see you smile, but when I think that you only smile like this when you are with them, I..." He whispered softly: "...very, very painful."

Shen Qingqiu finally understood.

"They" refers to the Cangqiong Mountain Sect!

That day in the bamboo house, Liu Qingge suddenly opened the window to check, and indeed noticed Luo Binghe who had been wandering outside.

He did not leave, but listened to the laughter and joy in the bamboo house, as well as his "hmm" assent, and kept them in his heart.

Shen Qingqiu asked: "Are you angry because of this?"

"anger?"

After asking the question, Luo Binghe uttered two words sinisterly: "I hate it!"

"I hate myself!"

He put his hands behind his back and quickened his pace impatiently.

"I hate that I'm useless. I hate that I can never keep anyone. Never... no one is willing to choose me."

The rest of the people in the cave were not in a position to act rashly. Luo Binghe was currently maintaining the supply of the Heart Demon Sword, and no one wanted him to suddenly attack.

Yue Qingyuan asked, "You mean you want him to choose between the two?"

Luo Binghe paused and shook his head: "Choose one of the two? No. This is not it."

"I know that if I have to choose, Master will definitely not choose me. So, as long as there is no choice, it will be fine."

Luo Binghe showed a strange excitement, and his pale face flushed.

"So I've learned my lesson this time. It would be better if the Cangqiong Mountain Sect didn't exist. Then, I'll be the only one left as Master."

Master Wuchen could not bear to listen any longer, so he put his hands together and chanted the Buddha's name continuously. Amitabha said, "Master Luo, you are possessed by a demon."

Luo Binghe was still laughing. Master Wuchen continued, "There is no possibility of choice, and of course there is no possibility of giving up on you. But how can Master Shen Feng forgive what he did to you?"

Luo Binghe said softly: "Master, Qingjing Peak is gone, I can build another one for you. You can blame me or hate me. I don't ask for anything else. If you are not satisfied, you can beat me or kill me, anyway, I can't die. As long as... as long as you don't leave me, it's fine."

He said devoutly: "Really, this is my only wish."

Shen Qingqiu's throat was dry and hoarse, his mouth felt bitter, and he couldn't speak.

He finally determined that Luo Binghe was no longer in his right mind.

His pupils were dilated, the red ripples expanded and shrank, his smile was twisted, he really looked like he was completely crazy and lost his mind. The purple light on the Heart Demon Sword was bright, and it was unclear whether he was controlling the sword or the sword was controlling him.

Zhuzhilang suddenly said, "Except for the Cangqiong Mountain Sect, there are thousands of things in this world that Master Shen cares about. Do you want to destroy them all?"

Luo Binghe smiled and said, "Okay? Why not?"

He tilted his head and suddenly turned sinister: "Shut up!"

Upon hearing this, Mobei Jun thought for a moment and punched Zhuzhilang in the face.

Tian Lang-Jun looked at Luo Binghe, his eyes flashing with pity, and he sighed: "...The Heart Demon Sword has already corroded his brain. He is really crazy."

Luo Binghe smiled and nodded: "Yes. I am crazy."

Shen Qingqiu felt a throbbing pain in his heart when he heard him admit in person that he was crazy.

He whispered, "Binghe, please get away from the sword first and stand away from it."

While he was giving gentle words of advice, he quietly put his hand under his wide sleeves to press the handle of the Xiu Ya Sword. Luo Binghe smiled and said, "It's useless. Master, you don't have to do this. The better you treat me, the more afraid I am."

As he spoke, he raised his right hand slightly. In an instant, purple energy surged from the Heart Demon Sword.

Zhuzhilang spat out a mouthful of blood. The punch just now only made him shut up for a while. He said calmly: "Poor thing."

"Poor?" Luo Binghe murmured, "Yes, I am pitiful. Even if I am pitiful, Master, can you stay by my side for once?"

Tears rolled down his cheeks.

Luo Binghe's pupils were red as he gritted his teeth: "Master, you always let me go again and again."

"Every time, every time, anyone and anything! Can become a reason for you to abandon me, every time!"

Suddenly, Shang Qinghua fell to the ground with a thud. Shen Qingqiu also subconsciously held onto the stone wall.

The entire ground began to tremble violently.

The speed of the Boneyard's descent has accelerated!

Yue Qingyuan said calmly: "Junior brother, he is crazy, how are you going to deal with him?"

Luo Binghe sneered, took two steps back, and suddenly grabbed the hilt of the Heart Demon Sword.

The ground was shaking more and more intensely. Looking out through the cave entrance, one could see countless mountains of varying heights emerging from the rolling clouds. Just as Shen Qingqiu was about to summon Xiu Ya, a blinding white light suddenly appeared beside him. Yue Qingyuan had already drawn his sword.

The roar of the sword tore through the endless flying snow and purple-black air.

Xuan Su is unsheathed!

Mobei Jun saw Yue Qingyuan aiming the tip of his sword at Luo Binghe and stepped forward to fight. Xuan Suo's spiritual power surged, and before they could make contact, he was directly knocked out.

Mobei-Jun seemed to have never expected that he would be beaten to the ground one day. He kept this expression and fell to the Bone Burial Ridge in the blink of an eye. Shang Qinghua was terrified and rushed over with a sword. Shen Qingqiu hurriedly grabbed him and said, "What are you doing!"

Shang Qinghua roared, "Damn it, he can't fly!" and then jumped down.

Shen Qingqiu looked down from the breach against the flying snow and strong wind, and happened to see Shang Qinghua, who was riding a flying sword, catching Mobei-Jun in the sky a hundred feet above the ice.

After making sure that he would not die from the fall, Shen Qingqiu did not even have time to breathe a sigh of relief. He turned his head sharply and saw Luo Binghe and Yue Qingyuan face to face.

Luo Binghe's explosive power was terrifying, but Shen Qingqiu had not expected that after the Xuan Suo was fully unsheathed, its power would be so strong that it could fight Luo Binghe in a mad state to a draw. Shen Qingqiu could feel his eardrums and throat rumbling from the pressure of the spiritual power and demonic energy surging in the air.

Seeing that the cave was about to collapse, he climbed up the rock wall, grabbed the Heart Demon Sword with his bare hands, and pulled it out with force!

Although it was pulled out, the Burial Ridge was still falling. Seeing this, Luo Binghe tried to grab the sword. Yue Qingyuan would never give him a chance. The tip of the Xuan Suo sword drew a dazzling trail in the air that was visible to the naked eye. A huge restriction and complex curses formed an invisible cage that imprisoned Luo Binghe.

Yue Qingyuan saw Shen Qingqiu draw his sword and said in a deep voice: "Let's go!"

Still leaving?! Shen Qingqiu immediately shook his head. Just as he was about to throw the Heart Demon Sword to him, he felt his feet go weak.

It's not that he is soft, it's that the ground is soft.

This cave finally collapsed!

The second level of the Boneyard.

Shen Qingqiu dug Yue Qingyuan out from the pile of rocks: "Master? Senior Brother? Master Senior Brother!"

Yue Qingyuan's face turned pale, blood oozed from the corners of his lips, and he swallowed, as if he had swallowed a mouthful of hot blood.

He opened his eyes and glanced at Shen Qingqiu: "...Where are the others?"

The internal structure of the Bone Burial Ridge is similar to an irregular honeycomb, with holes one after another. Shen Qingqiu looked around and said, "I didn't see Master Wuchen and Tianlangjun. They may be buried here, or they may have collapsed into other holes with the rocks."

He turned around and asked, "Brother, when were you injured?"

Yue Qingyuan did not answer, but asked: "Is the Heart Demon Sword still in your hand?"

Shen Qingqiu showed him the sword: "It is here. But the Bone Burial Ridge is still falling, and the merger should not be over yet. Brother, take the sword and destroy it."

With his help, Yue Qingyuan slowly stood up: "...What about you?"

Of course, he went back to look for Luo Binghe.

Shen Qingqiu avoided answering: "Brother, what happened to your injury?"

Yue Qingyuan answered irrelevantly, “I didn't want to do that at first. But I… am an impulsive person after all.”

Shen Qingqiu thought his words were strange, but he didn't think about it. He helped him to continue walking: "Brother, can you still walk? You go down first, destroy the sword, and find Junior Brother Mu. Leave Luo Binghe to me."

Yue Qingyuan was supported by him and stood up with difficulty, blood dripping onto the ground. Shen Qingqiu thought he was fine, so he let go of his hand.

Who would have thought that Yue Qingyuan would fall down after just a moment's standing after he let go of his hand.

Shen Qingqiu was horrified and quickly helped him up again: "Senior Brother? Senior Brother?"

Yue Qingyuan looked dazed, as if he hadn't heard what Shen Qingqiu said. He whispered, "During the two times when Jinlan City and Luo Binghe surrounded the mountain, I was calm and considered the overall situation... But every time I think about it afterwards, it would have been better if I had acted impulsively."

Seeing him drowsy, Shen Qingqiu wanted to pinch Yue Qingyuan's philtrum to wake him up, but he didn't dare to do such a thing, so he could only speak loudly in his ear to prevent him from fainting: "Brother, wake up! You did the right thing!"

Yue Qingyuan closed his eyes and shook his head.

He took a breath, and then coughed violently again, which made Shen Qingqiu's heart beat violently.

Blood kept flowing out with his cough. He said reluctantly, "Help me... take Xuan Su back."

Shen Qingqiu quickly put the fallen Xuansu sword back into its sheath and handed it to him. Yue Qingyuan's expression improved a little and he breathed a sigh of relief.

He stared blankly at Shen Qingqiu as he took Xuan Su's hand away. He did not take it, but said: "If I die here, you... help me bring Xuan Su back to Wanjian Peak."

Shen Qingqiu was startled: "What did you say?"

Died? Was Yue Qingyuan really injured so badly that he might die?!

Yue Qingyuan said: "The Xuan Suo is extremely powerful, but I never pull it out to fight the enemy. You must have guessed the reason."

Shen Qingqiu nodded. Not only he had guessed, many people had guessed.

Yue Qingyuan said: "Xuan Su is my life. Do you understand what this means?"

I totally don't understand.

But Shen Qingqiu knew that it was definitely not a rhetorical device.

He also knew that what Yue Qingyuan was going to say next must be a secret that he had never told anyone.

As expected, Yue Qingyuan said: "Every time I pull out the Xuan Su, I consume my life essence."

As soon as these words came out, Shen Qingqiu suddenly felt that the Xuan Su in his hand suddenly became a thousand pounds heavier.

No wonder he never draws his sword until it is absolutely necessary.

Use your life essence to activate your spiritual power. Bind your life to your sword.

Why would Yue Qingyuan practice such an evil way!

Shen Qingqiu said in shock: "Brother, have you...been possessed?"

Yue Qingyuan said slowly, "I entered Qiongding Peak when I was fifteen. I was anxious to achieve success, but I failed to achieve the state of unity between man and sword. Instead, I ended up like this. I went against my goal and left behind a great hatred and regret for the rest of my life."

As he spoke, the residual blood color on his face that had just appeared due to coughing suddenly faded away completely. Shen Qingqiu interrupted him: "Don't say it. This is not the time to talk about this. I'll take you downstairs to find Junior Brother Mu."

The two of them took a few steps with difficulty, and Yue Qingyuan suddenly whispered: "...I'm sorry."

What's the point of saying sorry? Yue Qingyuan had never done anything to let him down. Instead, it was he who always dragged Yue Qingyuan down and caused a lot of trouble.

But Yue Qingyuan's next words shocked him completely.

Yue Qingyuan's voice was trembling: "...I'm really...I'm sorry."

"I wanted to get back faster, I wanted to pick you up right away... but I ended up ruining everything. I'm an impulsive person after all..."

"Since then, Master locked me up in Lingxi Cave for more than a year, destroying all my muscles, bones and spiritual meridians. Everything was messed up, and I had to rest and start over."

"I tried my best, but when I returned, the Qiu Mansion had already been abandoned for many days..."

There was a sound of something shattering deep in my mind.

That is Shen Qingqiu's worldview.

In an instant, Yue Qingyuan's earnest care and silent protection in the past, all kinds of scenes and details, linked in his mind like a revolving lantern, so clear and bright.

No wonder no matter how Shen Qingqiu courted death, the Sect Leader never gave him a hard time and was always infinitely tolerant and forgiving.

No wonder Shen Jiu never waited for anyone to come back and rescue him.

Yue Qingyuan, Shen Qingqiu; Yue Qi, Shen Jiu.

So that’s it, so that’s it!

Yue Qingyuan said: "I really... didn't mean not to go back. It's just that I missed it..."

With every word he spoke, the blood gushed out more and more. Shen Qingqiu held him back, taking two steps at a time, and gritted his teeth and said, "Stop talking."

He knew everything that happened afterwards.

Yue Qingyuan insisted: "This time, please let me finish."

"As you have always said, 'I'm sorry' is just an empty word, it's completely useless. I have never explained it to you, but I am telling you today not to ask for forgiveness. But if I don't say it now... I'm afraid it will be too late."

Shen Qingqiu felt sad and his eyes were hot.

It's too late. It's too late!

Shen Jiu is no longer here.

Maybe he is dead, or maybe like Shen Yuan, his soul has moved to another strange world.

But no matter what, he would never hear Yue Qingyuan's words again.

The system sends a series of prompts:

[Hidden Character 1 Zhuzhilang, completion rate 100%]

Congratulations on upgrading from "slightly too many slots" and receiving the "Readable despite lack of content" medal. ]

[The satisfaction level is reset to zero. In this case, you can use B-grid to pay for the conditions required for the key item to drop. Do you accept this? 】

The notification sounded very good and joyful. However, Shen Qingqiu felt more depressed than ever before.

He said, "What's the point?"

Of course the system would not answer him. Shen Qingqiu gave the interface two middle fingers from the bottom of his heart.

The system has exploded!

What the hell is this system? What's the point?

Is it just to let him know how bad these people can be? Is it just to let him witness with his own eyes the most terrible pitfalls in the world?

Or is it to make him drive Luo Binghe crazy?

Everyone said that Luo Binghe had gone crazy. Even he himself admitted with a smile that he was crazy.

In the original novel, the Heart Demon Sword, which was finally suppressed by Luo Binghe after millions of words of struggle, gained the upper hand here and eroded Luo Binghe's mind.

This was not caused by one or two things, but accumulated little by little, and finally broke out completely. There had been many signs before, but Shen Qingqiu never noticed them.

It should be said that he never knew that Luo Binghe was so insecure in his bones, even to the point of inferiority.

He first thought Luo Binghe was too evil, and then he thought Luo Binghe was too sunny and strong.

Looking back, the Heart Demon Sword began to erode Luo Binghe's mind, and the first sign was at Zhaohua Temple.

Luo Binghe was greatly shocked when he heard about his life story. At the moment of greatest panic, he reached out to Shen Qingqiu and begged him to go with him.

But he did not take Luo Binghe's hand, but let Luo Binghe go alone.

At that time, Luo Binghe began to be extremely mentally unstable. What he needed was not a safe evacuation, but to be with Shen Qingqiu. Even if he was trapped in Zhaohua Temple and could not escape, even if he was besieged by everyone present, it was better than letting him leave alone!

To Luo Binghe in that state of mind, this was tantamount to "abandonment".

It was like a replay of the scene when Su Xiyan took the medicine just to see Tian Langjun.

Just as Luo Binghe himself said, he was not forcing people to make a choice between the two.

Because Luo Binghe firmly believed in his heart that he knew the answer: Shen Qingqiu would abandon him one day.

My mind is filled with paranoid fear and anxiety about things that haven't happened. How can I not be completely crazy?

Yue Qingyuan's steps became weaker and weaker, and he could hardly stand.

It seems that the short time when the Xuan Su was unsheathed just now really consumed Yue Qingyuan in all aspects. Shen Qingqiu had never seen the headmaster so weak.

Yue Qingyuan has always been calm and powerful. He doesn't talk too much or too little, is not aggressive, is gentle and amiable, yet is very reliable and dignified.

Now, not only did he have difficulty walking, he also talked more than usual. I'm afraid he really felt that he couldn't hold on any longer.

Shen Qingqiu practically dragged him forward, saying as he walked: "Brother, hold on, don't faint. Everything will be fine soon."

Yue Qingyuan was stunned and said, "For so many years, you never mentioned the past and only called me Senior Brother. Have you made up your mind not to call me Seventh Brother anymore?"

The tendons and bones in Shen Qingqiu's hand holding the sword gradually bulged.

Yue Qingyuan wanted to hear Shen Jiu call him Seventh Brother. But, he was not Shen Jiu!

He thought about the cold and hateful look of the original product and flatly refused: "No."

Can’t set a flag!

Look at the characters in TV dramas and novels who have fulfilled their last wishes. They all roll their eyes and kick their legs as soon as their wishes are fulfilled.

Shen Qingqiu said coldly: "I didn't hear anything you said just now. Hold on, and get down!"

Yue Qingyuan closed his eyes and sighed, "Xiao Jiu..."

Stop shouting.

He didn't dare to think about it. In the original novel, Luo Binghe cut off the two legs of "Shen Qingqiu" and sent them to Cangqiong Mountain Sect in a brocade box. What kind of mood did Yue Qingyuan have? Knowing that there was no return, he still stepped into Luo Binghe's trap without hesitation until he was pierced by thousands of arrows.

The once-in-a-lifetime debt of loyalty requires so much to be repaid.

Yue Qingyuan didn't even have the time to tell "Shen Qingqiu", who was full of resentment and helped Luo Binghe to lure him into the trap in order to live a little longer, why he didn't go to pick him up that year.

Why didn't you say it earlier?

Just like him and Luo Binghe, it was the same. Why didn't he say it earlier?

If he hadn't speculated and taken things for granted from the beginning, Luo Binghe might never have turned evil, and would have been the obedient and shy disciple on Qingjing Peak for the rest of his life.

Even if he took a step back, when he had to kick Luo Binghe into the abyss, he could have found another way to achieve his goal.

In fact, there was no need to think about it. It was not until now that Shen Qingqiu realized that if he wanted Luo Binghe to go down, he would probably just need to say it and Luo Binghe would go down obediently.

Shen Qingqiu had never thought of such a possibility before. He didn't believe that people were that stupid, and Luo Binghe was that obedient.

But in fact, he is really that stupid and so obedient.

After going around in circles and taking many detours, I have come to such a big circle. I look around at a loss, not knowing what to do. I can only regret "I should have known this earlier."

But in this world, there is no such thing as "I had known this earlier".

Turning around the cave, two dusty figures suddenly appeared.

As soon as he saw those two round, shiny bald heads, Shen Qingqiu blurted out: "Master Wuchen. Master Wuwang."

The short monk who was carrying the tall one was Master Wuchen. One of his wooden legs was missing, so it was difficult for him to walk alone. He couldn't free his hands to put his hands together, so he didn't want to be rude, so he chanted a few more Buddhist names: "Amitabha, Master Shen, I finally found you. What happened to Master Yue?"

After Yue Qingyuan closed his eyes, he leaned on Shen Qingqiu in a daze. Shen Qingqiu said, "Master Brother... was hit on the head by a rock. How is Master Wuwang?"

Wu Chen said: "He was injured by the evil spirit of Tian Lang Jun and has not woken up yet. The cave collapsed and those demons disappeared without a trace."

Shen Qingqiu pulled out Xiu Ya and handed it over: "Master, can you please take my senior brother and Master Wuwang with you and leave the Bone Burial Ridge?"

Wu Chen asked, "Where is Master Shen Feng?"

Shen Qingqiu said succinctly: "My apprentice, I will go and clean up."

Master Wuchen said solemnly: "It would be great if Master Shen Feng is willing to face it calmly."

Shen Qingqiu said, "I am ashamed. I just hope that this matter can be resolved before irreversible consequences are caused. I will entrust the head brother to the master. Please hand him over to Junior Brother Mu of Qiancao Peak as soon as possible after you go down. Shen will be very grateful."

Wu Chen put Wu Wang down, took Xiu Ya, bowed respectfully, and suddenly said: "The inner demons are all caused by obsession."

Shen Qingqiu was stunned: "Master, are you trying to say that if you want to get rid of the inner demon, you must get rid of the obsession?"

Wu Chen shook his head and said, "If you can tell, then it's not obsession."

"I think so too." Shen Qingqiu returned the greeting and turned around.

Whoever made him that was Luo Binghe's obsession.

The author has something to say: I'm late again today. As the story is drawing to a close, I'm really eager to revise it. I'm sorry for the long wait. But every time I leave a comment on the previous chapter, I'll postponing it.

It will probably be late tomorrow. I will feel uncomfortable if I don't fix it...

Thank you angels for casting thunder!
