Chapter 854 I'm Back
Ruan Wei and the priest were in a stalemate for a while.
"That's so clear..."
The priest was silent for a long time, then looked up at Ruan Wei with a hint of mockery in his eyes: "Aren't you afraid that I might get angry and just leave him alone?"
When Chao Jian heard this, his heart tightened.
Although he trusted Ruan Wei not to act without a purpose, he could also see that this Ruan Wei who suddenly appeared did not seem to be an easy person to get along with.
If I had to describe her, she was like a volcano hidden under the ice.
Cold and tyrannical.
This was one of the reasons why Chao Jian tied up Ruan Wei and didn't let her go down the mountain too early.
A child who has not received much education and has not yet formed her own values will always be unable to properly control her own behavior, especially when she may not receive positive feedback in this world.
A natural spiritual body with heavenly water spiritual roots.
Ruan Wei is likely to encounter much more malicious intent than ordinary people.
If a person experiences hardship too early, there is a high probability that he will resent the world and the world.
It's obvious.
The priestess was such a child who had experienced too many hardships. Because of her practice of ghost arts and the influence of too many memories of failure, the resentment in her was much heavier than that of Ruan Wei.
In this respect, the priest and Chi Jin are somewhat similar because they both have memories of humiliation.
There was also Chao Jian, but Chao Jian did not hate Tongzhou as much as the two of them did. He just kept his distance.
The reason is very simple, because Chao Jian is more mature, much more mature.
In the beginning, why did Tongzhou and Penglai become so incompatible? In addition to the influence of destiny and Tongzhou's ignorance, Penglai also had a small part of the responsibility.
Penglai had been in seclusion for too long, so he had no way of understanding other people's thoughts. Also, because he had not appeared in public for a long time, people did not know him well. Penglai had lost the right to speak, and was also unable to clear his name in front of more people.
I also regretted meeting him.
If they were more open, if they had more contact with the outside world, and knew themselves and the enemy, the ending would not be so tragic.
Of course, that's just if.
Smart people can always accurately find the origin of things and the real target of revenge, rather than being fools who are instigated and do a lot of stupid things in a fit of rage.
Chao Jian and Ruan Wei quickly unraveled the incident, and they firmly grasped the destiny.
Just as Ruan Wei chose.
She doesn't want any compensation, and all she wants in her life is to let Tianming die.
But this was Ruan Wei's choice, the priest's words.
Chao Jian didn't know, and he couldn't understand it either.
After all, the priest is no longer the child who grew up under his nose.
The priestess's eyelashes drooped, and her translucent figure floated in the air. She did not shrink back into the amulet, nor did she seem to have any intention of escaping.
She just waited.
Then he secretly reviewed the only opportunity that he had missed.
suddenly.
"You won't."
Ruan Wei shook her head and said, "I know you, too well."
"You won't ignore Chi Jin, even if... he's just a junior apprentice."
Even if there is no special connection, the priest will never give up Chi Jin.
The same is true for Ruan Wei.
The reversal of this deadlock originated from such understanding. They knew each other so well that each other's every move and every thought in their hearts became extremely transparent in their eyes, and there was no place for malice or kindness to hide.
The priest was angry that Ruan Wei had never trusted her, but when had she ever trusted Ruan Wei?
If there was just a little more between them, just a little more trust, Ruan Wei might not be able to come back this time.
What a pity.
Is it destined?
The priest couldn't help but think that if she could change her suspicion and try to trust others more, she would be the one occupying the original body at this moment; but when she thought about it carefully, if she really stopped doubting the good intentions of those around her, perhaps she would have been completely destroyed by fate long ago.
destiny.
This piece of shit finally rolled down and died.
Think of this.
The priest's frown gradually relaxed.
moment.
“…”
"Do we really have to take care of it?" The priest suddenly asked, still using such a tentative and questioning tone.
It's like asking for advice.
But she actually asked for advice, and the person she asked was Ruan Wei, who was suspected of plotting against her?
Chao Jian widened his eyes in surprise.
Ruan Wei readily replied, "Yes, of course."
"We owe him this."
After so many lifetimes of sacrifice, not only Chi Jin, but everyone in the Penglai Immortal Sect owes them.
The generosity of others is always beyond our ability to repay.
We can only be better to them, and better and better. In the end, we will be able to make up for it and repay them a little.
But it happened to be Chi Jin.
A big fool who will continue to pay after paying, and refuses to pay after paying.
It's like a broken circle that can never be filled.
You have to fill it in even if it is not filled in.
Required.
The priest looked up at the sky, sighed, and said, "Well, you win."
Her long, dark hair, like splashed ink, slid down her raised white neck. Her thin figure slowly descended until her toes touched solid ground, no longer detached from the world.
Ruan Wei is right.
Even if he was not a lover, even if he was just a junior fellow apprentice, the priest would never ignore him.
The Penglai Immortal Sect has never had the reason to watch fellow disciples die without saving them, even if the price is their own complete death.
The priest glanced at Ruan Wei.
Um.
She's obviously alive, so there's no problem.
There is no need for two identical leaves in this world, and her spirit should not have been preserved in the first place.
The priest thought.
It doesn’t matter if it’s destined to dissipate.
Because she will be better in the future.
Priest: "Keep changing."
Unexpectedly straightforward.
Ruan Wei's eyelashes trembled, and after pursing her lips, she wanted to say something, and she opened her mouth: "Hold—"
The priest looked over dimly.
Suddenly stopped.
"Thank you." Ruan Wei changed his tone.
The priest withdrew his gaze and hummed softly, "That's right."
She didn't need Ruan Wei's apology because Ruan Wei was not wrong.
But you can hear a thank you, because the priest wants to hear it, and Ruan Wei also happens to want to say it.
That's all.
The priestess withdrew her gaze from Ruan Wei. She turned her head and looked straight at the golden light, which was the direction of the Heavenly Dao: "Heavenly Dao."
"It's too troublesome to switch back and forth. Anyway, Chi Jin will use herself to replace her when she wakes up. This time, you can just switch me with her."
During the thousands of years of self-isolation in the mirage, the priest rarely spoke. The essence of a person is lost through his mouth. As a ghost who has been living in the body of another for a long time, the priest's essence is already very little.
This is a long sentence that is rare for a priest.
But she doesn't think it's a waste.
joke.
She has been holding it in for such a long time, and now at the last moment, what's wrong with saying a few more words? Just say it, she still wants to say some tongue twisters of a hundred or eighty words!
The priest didn't look at Ruan Wei: "I have replenished your soul. When he wakes up, remember to stop him from tossing and turning."
Ruan Wei's pupils shrank slightly.
"……good."
Tiandao was also stunned for a moment before agreeing: "Okay."
The priest said, "Then don't hesitate."
Tiandao: "Okay."
"But I must state in advance that Chi Jin still only has half of his soul left. As a reward for your obedience, I will rebuild his body for free. As for whether he will wake up or where he will go in his next life, I will not guarantee it for you."
Heaven is ruthless.
The person is affectionate.
The priestess suddenly curled her lips and smiled... How should I put it? I can only say that she is worthy of her.
There was a faint smile on Furong's face, which spread from the slight curve of her eyes. She didn't seem like an ordinary person, which made many people unconsciously panic and quickly shut up.
Ruan Wei loves to laugh like this, and the priest is no exception.
"It's none of my business." The priest smiled and pointed at Ruan Wei and said, "Let her worry about these things."
"Anyway."
"I'll always find a way."
Ruan Wei was shocked.
I.
The priest was referring to me, which was actually a very difficult title to use. After all, they never recognized each other as their complete selves, and they had argued about this many times.
But at this time.
The priest recognized Ruan Wei as her future, her self, and allowed her to continue to exist.
So Ruan Wei could only say, "I will."
We will always do it.
Heaven has nothing more to say.
The golden light approached quickly and enveloped the priest.
Tian Dao asked, "Shall we start now?"
It was a somewhat strange question. Could this be something that could be delayed any further?
The priest flicked his wrist and said in a deep voice, "Begin."
Tiandao's voice suddenly reached his ears: "Aren't you going to say goodbye to them?"
“…”
The priest suddenly fell silent.
a long time.
The priest shook his head firmly: "No need."
Ever since appearing from the amulet, the priest has always been facing the members of Penglai Immortal Sect and Ruan Ruanzhi.
During the conversation with Ruan Wei, although the priest was able to keenly notice that everyone's eyes were on her for a long time, the priest never looked at them directly.
no need.
Even though he missed them very much and was reluctant to leave, the priest never thought of talking to them.
Brother, Master, Uncles, Senior Brother, Huai Jin, Xiao Yu'er, Chi Jin...
Each of them is someone the priest misses deeply.
But ah.
The priest would not look back, never.
because.
From the very beginning, from the very beginning of all the tragedy, the priest had realized an extremely profound fact, which was -
The people she loved most were long dead.
Died in the first life.
Those who truly remember her, those who no longer have any other memory connections or premonitions of past trauma and just love her sincerely.
They fell asleep when the first regression began.
And sleep forever in the priest's memory.
The person the priest really wanted to say goodbye to was no longer with them, so there was no need to say goodbye. She would end up in the same place as them.
-
The golden light no longer made any sound.
Tiandao took the priest away in silence.
The girl's spirit gradually faded, like a landscape painting that had been treasured for many years but was suddenly exposed to the air. The ink marks, rouge, bamboo green and elegant white all faded away slowly, bit by bit.
At the very end, she just sighed lightly and said:
"It can be considered as paying it off."
Chi Jin had died for her hundreds and thousands of times without hesitation. Now, as her senior sister, she could give compensation to her junior brother.
Before consciousness fades.
The priestess's eyes were hazy, and the pure white color invaded her mind. She felt her consciousness dissipating and her perception collapsing in a daze, as if she was about to sink into the deep sea.
The priest should have panicked.
But it's unexpected.
…
So warm.
She thought slowly.
A strange warmth enveloped her, like... like a pair of hands tightly embracing her: hot, thin hands, rough hands with calloused swords, hands with cold palms but broad knuckles, fingers with calloused swords and pens, soft hands like a young girl, fingers as white as jade and slender...
Many hands embraced her.
Gave her the final and deepest warmth.
The priest smiled.
She murmured very softly, as if she was afraid of disturbing her rare sweet dream.
"I'm back."
-
Good night, priest.
