Chapter 98



Jing Cheng had no impression of Lian Xuefeng when he was young.

The reason was that Lian Xuefeng left the imperial city in the second year of his study abroad. From then until he had an accident in Taiyin Mountain, the two never met again.

In the years since she left, he has been to many places and experienced many things. At first, in the dead of night, he would occasionally recall the carefree days when he was with her. Later, after seeing the fickleness of human nature, he gradually forgot many people and things in the past, even without leaving any trace.

Once the dusty memories are opened, they will burst out. All the memories related to that person, every single one, will be vivid in my mind...as if they happened just yesterday.

Jing Cheng still remembers that the last time they met, Lian Xuefeng was still a 17-year-old, spirited boy.

So when Jing Cheng first saw the adult version of Lian Xuefeng, it was hard not to be surprised.

"Lian Xuefeng" now looks to be about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, with a tall build. His appearance has not changed much from when he was seventeen, except that his eyebrows and eyes have grown longer and his features have become slightly deeper.

He has a cold and indifferent expression and a pair of dark and deep eyes, which makes him look a little creepy when he looks at people. He is unlike the heartless smile on his face when he was a child, which made him look like he had a lot on his mind.

Jing Cheng stared blankly at "Lian Xuefeng" walking slowly towards him, and stood there motionless.

As if he was stunned.

...

...

After "Lian Xuefeng" called Jing Cheng, he stopped talking and just stared at him, as if he was afraid that Jing Cheng would leave his sight.

After a while, "Lian Xuefeng" pulled the corner of his mouth and said in a hoarse voice: "Long time no see."

Jing Cheng looked at him with a complicated expression and opened his mouth, as if he had a lot to say to him. Thousands of words turned into one sentence when they came to his lips: "Indeed."

As if he felt that the two words were too perfunctory, he added, "You are still alive?"

“Lian Xuefeng”: “…”

Why didn't you play by the rules? Shouldn't you run over to hug me excitedly and tell me how much you miss me and how many memories you have of me over the years? !

After saying this, Jing Cheng seemed to realize something and tilted his head slightly to give him a meaningful look.

"Lian Xuefeng" seemed unable to wait any longer. He was eager to recall Jing Cheng's memories, so he took a few steps forward, getting closer and closer to Jing Cheng, and stretched out his arms as if to hug him.

At the same time, Jing Cheng "became" dazed, and then stretched out his hand as if he wanted to touch the other person's face. "Lian Xuefeng" bent down considerately, smiled, and put his incredibly handsome face in front of Jing Cheng.

Jing Cheng's eyes flashed, and his fingers gently stroked his face, gradually sliding down to his neck. "Lian Xuefeng" trembled slightly, and then moved closer to him more intimately.

Jing Cheng suddenly raised his head with a sharp look. His fingertips fell on Lian Xuefeng's throat, suddenly turned into claws, and tightened rapidly.

There was only a creepy "click" sound.

"Lian Xuefeng" still had a gentle smile on his face, and before he could even show a surprised expression, his body quickly turned into ashes and drifted away in the thick fog where no one was seen.

Jing Cheng coldly watched the scene where his "only friend" turned into ashes, thinking that these demons were really good at tricking him. The illusion they set up almost tricked him. Fortunately, he reacted quickly.

Even if Lian Xuefeng was still alive, he shouldn’t look like this... These demons are so bold that they dared to peek into his memory!

With a murderous sneer on his lips, Jing Cheng shouted in a low voice: "Get out now!"

The demons hiding in the thick fog wanted to take advantage of Jing Cheng's illusion to attack him, but they did not expect that Jing Cheng's soul was so powerful that he woke up in such a short time.

The next moment, a monstrous black gas rolled in, and countless hideous demons hidden in the black fog roared and attacked Jing Cheng.

Jing Cheng quickly took a step back, formed a seal with one hand, and calmly took out a talisman from his pocket with the other hand and held it in front of his nose.

He closed his eyes tightly and whispered the spell to break the magic: "...Demons will not be allowed to violate, ghosts will be allowed to violate, the Jade Emperor has ordered, no mercy, hurry and obey the order!"

The talisman flew out of his hand in an instant and shot towards the direction of the black smoke.

The bright light illuminated the place, dazzling and eye-catching. At the same time, a strong wind blew from somewhere, blowing away the thick fog in an instant.

Those demons were very afraid of this talisman. More ferocious black smoke came out of their bodies. They struggled to get rid of it, making shrill screams.

Jing Cheng frowned and whispered a few more sentences. His hands kept moving, his fingers flying, and one could almost see double.

The talisman seemed to be "alive" and suddenly enlarged infinitely. It stretched out its body with force and shook exaggeratedly. When the black smoke wanted to escape, it suddenly opened its "huge mouth" to wrap the black smoke inside and tightened it.

The demons struggled in every possible way, but in the end, they were "sucked" into the talisman unwillingly.

The screaming stopped abruptly.

The talisman emitted a dazzling red light, then shrank back to its original size and flew lightly back into Jing Cheng's hand.

The mist dissipated a little. Jing Cheng glanced at the talisman in his hand, curled his lips, and put it back into his pocket without caring.

Just as he was about to leave, a sharp claw that had been hiding in the dark for a long time grabbed Jing Cheng's face with lightning speed.

Jing Cheng was startled by the sound of wind breaking through the air and quickly dodged to the side. However, the incident happened suddenly and he was unable to dodge completely. The sharp claws cut a thin cut on one side of his face.

Blood immediately gushed out from the wound.

After a slight sting, Jing Cheng frowned, stretched out the back of his hand and rubbed the wound, getting his hand covered with sticky blood.

Then he heard a hoarse voice exclaiming: "Ah~ It's the spiritual blood of the Heavenly Master, it tastes really good..."

A faint fishy smell wafted into Jing Cheng's nose, and his face turned completely black.

Here, Qin Yan was in a fantasy world and almost saw the entire life of a young man who looked similar to him.

He saw that after the young man left the cemetery, he went to many places and visited many people. The young man seemed to have no class concept and treated everyone equally.

Among the people he visited were poor beggars, noble ladies wearing gold and silver, old ladies over fifty years old living in the countryside, children not even as tall as an adult's thigh, landlords with big bellies, and skinny farmers...

During the day the young man lived the life of a wanderer, traveling all over the country, living his life like a clock, never refusing to stop for a moment.

At night, he lay quietly on the table, facing the dim light, silently looking at a black-and-white photo. Occasionally, a nostalgic smile would appear on the young man's face, but more often he would lower his brows and sigh softly.

Occasionally, he would curl his lips slightly and sit at his desk writing his diary in a good mood.

As Qin Yan watched, he felt as if he was also experiencing the busy and lonely life of the young man in front of him.

The life of a young person is very short, passing by in a flash like a white horse passing by.

It's just that unexpected changes happen.

During a mountain climbing trip, the sky suddenly changed. In just a few blinks of an eye, it went from a clear sky to lightning, thunder, and heavy rain.

He saw the young man trying to get down the mountain in a panic to avoid the rainstorm, but unexpectedly, a landslide broke out on the mountain above him...

The young man's life came to an end from then on.

Simple and lonely.

Qin Yan felt his mind was extremely confused at this moment. Sometimes he felt like he was Qin Yan, and sometimes he felt like he was the young man in the picture. He almost went into schizophrenia.

At this moment, a strange scene suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.

He saw a tall young man in Taoist robes, carrying a peach wood sword on his back, hurriedly climbing a mountain.

The young man had the same face as "Jing Cheng", but he looked more mature, with picturesque features and a cold temperament.

Qin Yan knew that this person should be the young man who had traveled around to exorcise demons and monsters before.

There is a lush forest on the top of the mountain, and in the middle of the forest stands a black stone tablet half the height of an adult. "Jingcheng" stands in front of the stone tablet.

The stone tablet was engraved with dense and complex runes. He saw "Jing Cheng" say a few words to the stone tablet, then suddenly stretched out a hand, spread out his palm, and with the other hand took off the peach wood sword and made a beautiful sword flower.

The next moment, a cut appeared on the palm of "Jing Cheng"'s open hand, and bright red blood gushed out like crazy, causing Qin Yan to frown. However, "Jing Cheng" seemed to feel no pain, and stared at his bleeding palm expressionlessly.

After a while, "Jingcheng" placed his bleeding palm on the stone tablet. The blood flowed silently, passed through the runes carved on the stone tablet, and then solidified.

Suddenly, thunder rumbled in the sky, and he saw countless scarlet eyes under the ground beneath the stone tablet staring at "Jing Cheng" with deep hatred.

The stone tablet suddenly emitted a deep red light, and the earth shook continuously.

The group of monsters underground with terrifying fangs and ferocious faces were struggling and writhing, emitting dirty black smoke and roaring silently.

However, the "Jing Cheng" above was looking at the sky without noticing anything, with confusion written all over his face.

Qin Yan watched this scene in fear and trepidation. He always felt that the monsters pressed underground would break free and rush out at any time to hurt the people above.

At that moment, Qin Yan even wanted to rush in and tell "Jing Cheng" to leave here quickly.

Unfortunately he can't, because what he sees is the past that cannot be changed.

Of course, Qin Yan didn’t know this at the moment. He thought he was just having a long dream.

He only knew that he was trapped in the same place, and everything in the picture was something he could not touch.

At this moment, he saw "Jing Cheng" in the picture seemed to sense something, and suddenly turned around and met Qin Yan's gaze.

What happened next made Qin Yan's eyes widen.

He saw the "Jing Cheng" in the picture staring at him for a while, then suddenly smiled and actually walked out!

Qin Yan: “…”

Qin Yan had been watching for such a long time that he almost regarded what happened in the picture as a TV series. Seeing the "man in the picture" walk out at this time was as terrifying as seeing Sadako on TV crawling out of the well and then crawling out of the TV at midnight.

Although Qin Yan often has bad intentions towards Jing Cheng in his heart, it does not mean that he will have the same lust for someone who looks like Jing Cheng.

After the "Jing Cheng" in the picture walked out, his appearance and figure gradually overlapped with the Jing Cheng in his impression - until they became exactly the same.

Qin Yan stared blankly at the miraculous scene in front of him, and suddenly he admired his own brain for being able to construct such a ridiculous dream.

"Jing Cheng" walked up to him, looked at him silently for a while, and suddenly asked: "Do you like me?"

Qin Yan: “…”

This dream was so embarrassing... Why did he say what was in his heart?
