Chapter 173 Shadow
Some liquid slid down to Mu Bai's fingertips. Mu Bai's fingers moved slightly, and he felt the liquid boiling. Then he realized that it was Lin Feng's tears.
Lin Feng's tears slid down from the corners of his eyes, flowed across his cheeks, and fell on Mu Bai's fingertips.
"I thought I would never hear these words again in my life..."
"Mu Bai, I'm happy..."
His fingertips slid from the end of Mu Bai's eyes to the corners of Mu Bai's lips, pulling the corners of his lips upward.
"You, smile..."
"I love you too..."
Lin Feng frowned in Mu Bai's arms, watching the tears falling down Mu Bai's face, and he pulled his face, revealing a smile that was uglier than crying.
"How ugly..."
These two words were spoken very softly, so softly that it seemed like Lin Feng had used up all his strength. His hands suddenly fell to the ground, and he closed his eyes in Mu Bai's arms.
He never opened his eyes again.
Mu Bai did not give up. He held Lin Feng's body and called his name for a long time, and knocked on the doors of all the clinics in the city.
The answers he got were all that the person was dead.
When those people saw the red-gold blood flowing from Lin Feng, they pointed at Mu Bai and cursed him, saying that those who were not of our race must have different hearts. It was a shame that Mu Bai fell in love with a foreign race.
What's more, from ancient times to the present, humans and foreign races have been irreconcilable. Mu Bai's behavior was no different from treason.
Mu Bai turned a deaf ear to the scolding and curses, and only felt a chill in his heart. No one here understood him.
Lin Feng's body slowly became cold in his arms until night, when Mu Bai accidentally saw a book while staying overnight in a dilapidated abandoned library.
That library should have been the largest library in the city, but for some unknown reason, a fire broke out in the middle of the night when no one was around. The fire was so strong that it burned almost all the books in the library. However,
the library was hardly damaged. People thought it was weird, so they never thought about rebuilding the library, and no one dared to approach it again.
The book that Mu Bai got was a banned book, which recorded some secrets of the demon clan from thousands of years ago.
After death, the demons do not enter the netherworld or cross the river of oblivion. Their souls may drift anywhere in this world until they are annihilated or reborn.
There is also a secret method recorded in it. You only need to use the remains and souls of the deceased to enter the demon world and bring people back from the other side of the dead world.
After the death of the demons, their souls will exist in the body for seven days.
Mu Bai looked at Lin Feng's remains, and a bold idea was born in his heart.
He forged a sword using Lin Feng's spine. No one knew what he was thinking when he was forging the sword.
He flipped through the forbidden book and found a way to seal the soul at the end of the book. He sealed Lin Feng's soul into the sword and named the sword - Bone Painting.
The entry of Lin Feng's soul and the perfect fusion with the Bone Painting Sword made the Bone Painting come alive. When he told his plan, the Bone Painting hit him hard on the head with the handle of the sword.
He knew that Lin Feng did not agree with him doing that.
Not to mention that there is no demon world here anymore. Even if it really exists, he heard that the demon world is extremely dangerous, and he didn't want Mu Bai to take the risk.
But Mu Bai insisted, and Lin Feng couldn't stop him.
Just like that, Mu Bai, alone with two swords, embarked on the journey of searching. No one knew how long he had been searching and how far he had walked.
He never told anyone that on that endless journey, only the Bone Painting that sealed Lin Feng's soul and Fu Xueyi accompanied him.
No one knew what supported him and made him persist for so many years.
As he went further and further, his reputation grew, and the bone painting became a sword on the list of famous swords.
He became the second best sword in the world, and his reputation spread. At the same time, the story of him carrying Lin Feng's body to seek medical treatment was also spread. There were
more and more rumors about him, and they were polarized. The good rumors were not good, and the bad rumors were very bad.
Many people said that he was morally corrupt, disregarding human ethics, and had bad character.
Everyone he met felt that people should not be with the demons. When everyone stood in a line, it would be a sin to walk alone.
Until later, he met Yu Yao again, and without saying a word, he picked up the sword and went up.
He still didn't win.
Although he severely injured Yu Yao, he was also beaten with scales all over his body and was dying. Then, he met Yu Chi and Gu Jue.
Because of his previous experience, he reacted so much when he saw Gu Jue and Yu Chi.
That was also the first time he knew that humans and demons could really get together. He thought that if he had met Yu Chi and Gu Jue earlier, maybe he and Lin Feng would not have come to this point.
Yu Chi is a miracle doctor, and his lover Gu Jue is also a demon. Yu Chi would definitely be willing to save Lin Feng, but unfortunately, he and Lin Feng did not catch up with the good time.
Although he always told others that he was the second best in the world, he had a hurdle in his heart that he could never overcome. So what if he was the second best in the world? He couldn't even protect one person.
He was the second best in the world, but his enemy was the best in the world.
He had been alone in the world for many years, searching and searching. He himself didn't know how long he had been so lonely. He hadn't even returned home. Every time he looked at the bone painting, he felt sad.
Fortunately, they really found the door to the demon world. He
also found a way to save Lin Feng. When he handed the forbidden book together with the bone painting sword to Huang Ji, he felt nervous in addition to expectation.
He had been waiting for this moment for a long time. When Huang Ji opened the forbidden book, he raised his hand and knocked on Mu Bai's head.
"Nonsense!"
The forbidden book did not come from the Dongxu Demon Realm, but from the Southern Wilds. The Demon Lord of the Southern Wilds learned that there was a secret method in the Wilds Festival that could make the dead demons return to the human world, so he kept trying.
But they never found the method and could only try several times. The book said that the remains and souls of the dead demons were needed, which was actually wrong.
There was no need for any remains at all. After all, the person had passed away. If you do something to his body, even if it was for resurrection, it would be too wrong and too cruel.
Mu Bai didn't think so much at the time. He only knew that Lin Feng could come back, so he had to try even if the hope was slim, just in case.
He had thought it through. If he couldn't find her in one year, he would look for two years. If he couldn't find her in two years, he would look for three years. If he couldn't find her in three years, he would look for four years, five years, and a lifetime...
If he couldn't find her in this lifetime, he would go to accompany Lin Feng.
This was the first time he fell in love with someone, and perhaps it would be the only time in his life.
When he finally mustered up the courage to say it, it was when Lin Feng was about to die, so his enthusiasm became delusion.
Delusion, delusion, love, hate, and longing, heartbroken.
Fortunately, all his waiting finally brought flowers to bloom.
I still remember when he just set out on his journey, someone asked him his name, he paused, then turned around, and said with a gentle look in his eyes.
"My name is Mu Bai Lin Feng."
It was Mu Bai's Mu Bai, and Lin Feng's Lin Feng.
He carried two names, and over time, he also had the shadows of two people.
He was no longer a mysterious and lonely chivalrous knight, and he no longer cared about the rumors and good or bad reputations.
With Lin Feng accompanying him on the road, he was no longer lonely. He was still a chivalrous knight, but he no longer pretended to be mysterious, and he was no longer as talkative as before.
Unconsciously, he had some of the shadows of Lin Feng. His cold eyebrows and eyes had a touch of gentleness, making him look more human.
Later, he met Bai Qiu again, and Bai Qiu said that he had changed.
"What has changed?"
"I can't tell, I just feel like he's a different person."
Bai Qiu felt sorry for Mu Bai and Lin Feng. At that time, Bai Qiu was already a father of a child. When Mu Bai left, he handed a bag of silver to Mu Bai.
"Be frugal, don't spend it all at once."
"I know, I won't."
Looking at Mu Bai's figure walking away, Bai Qiu sighed deeply, thinking that fate was playing tricks on him. His wife stood beside him, and he looked at Mu Bai's back and said,
"He has the shadow of Lin Feng."
Yes, he didn't say it in front of Mu Bai just now, but when he first met Lin Feng, Lin Feng was as gentle as jade, with gentle eyebrows and eyes, and even a smile on his lips.
Perhaps Lin Feng had influenced Mu Bai imperceptibly.
Their meeting may be an accidental coincidence, but it is a fate destined by heaven.
Such an accidental encounter is gentler than the afterglow of the setting sun.
It is also this gentleness that has made Mu Bailinfeng what he is today.
