Chapter 295
Before he became a monster, Shi Wan was a genius.
In his class, there were only twenty-three people including him. Kunlun students have always valued quality over quantity.
It was snowing when we first entered Kunlun. Hundreds of mountains were shrouded in snow. Looking up, we could only see large expanses of snow.
The students who had just reached adulthood had not yet developed spiritual powers, so everyone was wrapped up like a ball with legs. Shi Wan wore a hat on her head and a scarf around her face, revealing only a pair of eyes with thick eyelashes. The mist she exhaled condensed into frost flowers, which turned into a deep chill.
Sword training is just as difficult as physical training. In addition to a strong physique, one must also have a strong spirit. Climbing the snow-capped mountains is just a welcome gift for admission.
The cold wind wrapped in snowflakes made it impossible to open one's eyes. Shi Wan pulled at his hat that was a little tilted by the wind, and a faint expectation arose in his heart—his sister became a student of Kunlun two years ago, and two years later, he also became a member of Kunlun.
They will see each other again soon.
…
The snow was getting heavier and heavier. The 23 people on the towering snowy mountain looked like a group of ants huddled together. They looked a little pitiful. When we started climbing from the foot of the mountain, we gradually dispersed. No one was in the mood to exchange pleasantries when we met on the first day to face such a severe challenge. However, before we had even walked one-third of the way, many people realized that human power was too insignificant in the face of nature.
At the foot of the mountain, they received only two requests: one was that everyone must reach the summit, and the other was that no one should be left behind.
In order to complete the tasks before entering school, a group of new classmates who had never met each other spontaneously learned to help each other. Those with better physical fitness were divided into two groups, one group explored the way in the front, and the other group followed at the end. Those with poor physical fitness were gathered in the middle, a safer position - when they were exhausted and slipped, it would be convenient for people around them to help them.
It is often said that a friend in need is a friend indeed, and those who can awaken their spiritual powers are rarely extremely evil. After nearly a whole day of arduous mountain climbing, the friendship between the 23 children who had just reached adulthood quickly warmed up.
They had to talk less while climbing the mountain to conserve their energy, but their increasingly tacit cooperation could not deceive anyone. They would be classmates in the future and comrades after graduation; they would still be together for a very long time in the future.
At dusk, the twenty-three "little snowmen" were finally about to reach the top. The leading snowman was already excited. He turned around and waved his hands. His vague but excited voice spread in the cold wind: "Everyone, work harder! We are almost there!"
The group of people behind him who were dragging their feet quickened their pace due to the excitement of the finish line, but excessive joy often leads to sorrow, and those with the worst physical fitness among them slipped one after another. The people in the front who were running fast were shocked and turned around to catch them, but the one who slid the worst was already sliding towards a cliff like he was on a slide.
Shi Wan had just helped a classmate who had slipped down to stand firmly when a gray shadow passed by—there was actually another one!
Relying on his own skills, he immediately chased after the classmate who had slid down. The classmate had a sturdy build and wore thick clothes, which made him look more like a round ball, so he rolled faster on the slippery path. Before the classmate "died to prove his will", Shi Wan narrowly grabbed his left arm. However, inertia still made the unlucky classmate move forward. At the critical moment, someone who was a step slower than him grabbed the classmate's right arm. The three of them stopped less than a centimeter away from the stone wall.
Sitting on the ground, the fat man who survived the disaster gasped: "I almost died young... Thank you, thank you two heroes."
This time, Shi Wan, who had a rare reaction speed that could keep up with his, turned his head in surprise. Through the flying snowflakes and the strict obstruction, he vaguely saw a pair of beautiful eyes.
"Can you get up?" The big man who grabbed Fatty's right arm asked in a sweet voice that didn't match her skills, "Are you hurt?"
Shi Wan felt the ground shaking slightly, and he turned his head in shock. Perhaps because the three of them went down too fast, the others thought they all rolled down together, so they rushed over to rescue them. However, the road was too slippery, so what Shi Wan saw in the end were several snowmen with bared fangs and claws rushing towards them to "die to prove their will."
Don't come over here!!!
The three people near the stone wall turned around and their pupils trembled. It was too late for them to run away, so they stumbled and fell together. There were even several human-shaped imprints on the stone wall covered with thick snow.
When he was dug out from the snow, Shi Wan thought with a wooden face, this is a really bad start.
…
Although there were some minor blunders during the mountain climbing before entering school, fortunately they all successfully received the sword order belonging to Kunlun students. The fat boy they rescued that evening was named Qu Yutao, and the girl who rescued people with him was named Yan Doukou.
Shi Wan and Yan Doukou are not talkative people, but Qu Yutao is not like that. In the cafeteria, the three of them sat at a table, and Qu Yutao tried his best to explain to them everything he knew, for fear that they would suffer losses due to lack of common sense.
Qu Yutao had a face as white as a silver plate, and when he smiled he was as brilliant as a sunflower. He was not annoying at all, so both Shi Wan and Yan Doukou tacitly allowed him to chatter while eating.
After saying so much, Qu Yutao's mouth was dry. He gulped down a whole bowl of soup and said, "Two heroes! Are you listening to me?"
Yan Doukou and Shi Wan turned their heads almost at the same time, with sincere expressions on their faces: "I'm listening."
"That's more like it———" Qu Yutao was immediately appeased, revealing a smug smile, "I just finished talking about common sense, now let's take stock of the influential people in each grade..."
The first month after entering Kunlun was spent practicing swordplay in the morning, chatting at noon, and attending classes in the afternoon.
On the first day of the second month, time ended the lockdown.
It was rare for the brother and sister to go a month without contacting each other, so as soon as the retreat was over, Shixu sent a message to Shiwan. After hearing about his sister's great achievements in the past two years, Shiwan immediately knew that Shixu already had his own natal sword.
Kunlun sword practitioners usually have their own natal sword in their junior year, and use the unified sword issued by Kunlun in their freshman and sophomore years. Those who are a little late will not start to refine their own sword until their senior year.
Soon after Shi Xu entered school, she was judged to be able to possess her natal sword in advance. However, due to her high talent, the materials that matched her were rare. The teachers at Kunlun spent nearly two years planning for her before they found the precious stardust meteorite.
Sword forging is not just the swordsmith's job. The sword's owner must also follow along and better perceive the sword's characteristics as the materials are fused and transformed.
A sword cultivator can only have one natal sword in his lifetime, and it is the most important thing in the process of cultivation. I had already started forging the sword before school started, so I didn't get to meet him.
"Sister——" Shi Wan's eyes sparkled, "What does your natal sword look like?"
Facing her brother's curious and expectant eyes, Shi Xu's eyebrows curved, her hands were spread out, spiritual power surged in her palms, and a snow-white sword gradually appeared in her palms: "Here."
The Sword of Time is snow-white all over, and there is a flowing silver color in the sword aura. The sword aura is contained in it, and it is sharp yet gentle.
"She's so pretty!" Shi Xu's eyes lit up, "What's her name?"
"Zhong Xue Jin." Shi Xu grasped the hilt of the sword and made a neat sword flower, then replied with a smile, "Her name is Zhong Xue Jin."
There is always redress for the injustice in this world, and the redress will eventually come.
…
The sword of time is more powerful than its peers, and it shines brightly. Even before it possessed its own natal sword, Shi Wan was still famous.
The students of Kunlun all focus on sword training in the first semester. Those who are not suitable for sword training will switch to a path that is more suitable for them in the next semester. In this semester, there are 23 people including him, 15 of whom are sword training, 6 are talisman training, 1 is formation training, and 1 is medicine training.
Although we only took elective courses together, it did not prevent us from becoming more familiar with each other day by day.
Elective courses account for a large proportion of the monthly curriculum, and basically require students to form teams of five to compete in pairs. However, there are only twenty-three people this year, so three people are destined to be left behind - and teams that are left alone often suffer badly in competitions.
At first, everyone took turns to form teams of three. Later, after Shi Wan, Yan Doukou, and Qu Yutao formed a team of three, the situation began to reverse.
The five people formed the Five Elements Formation, which made it easier to switch between offense and defense and doubled the power. Therefore, if the three people wanted to quickly break the advantage of the Five Elements Formation, they had to eliminate any one of the five people as soon as possible.
Shi Wan practiced swordsmanship, Yan Doukou practiced formations, and Qu Yutao practiced medicine. Together, the three of them formed their own system of attack, defense, and treatment. Their offensive power was inferior to Shi Wan, and their defensive flexibility was not as good as Yan Doukou. If the former two were injured, Qu Yutao could still rescue them in time.
The students who were practicing against them were furious and tried to split up the three-person group, saying that it was unfair for them to fight five against three.
Before Shixu and Yan Doukou could say anything, Qu Yutao protested: "You can't even win against three against five, do you still expect to win against three against three?"
"If you can't beat five against three, it's extremely embarrassing." The confused student was silent for a while and then said righteously, "But if you can't beat three against three, it means you are not as skilled as others."
The trio that beat the five: "..."
With more elective courses, the five-person lineup for this session has become fixed. Among the 23 people, the three of them have never changed teammates. The teachers at Kunlun are a little nervous. They like to see the energetic students yelling and screaming because they can't beat five against three, and then working hard to become stronger, getting braver and braver as they face more setbacks.
Originally, a team of three had two fewer people than a team of five, and the students were all talented, so in the evening the three of them were also swept up - they were all competing for the top spot in the team, and it would be so embarrassing to be pulled down!
年輕的孩子，總有莫名其妙的自尊心。
時晚跟着卷啊卷，在大一下學期開學後不久，被老師告知他可以提前擁有本命劍。
為他鑄劍的材料，昆侖的老師們似乎早就選擇好了，時晚從未成形的劍胚上感受到了一種熟悉的氣息———有點像姐姐的終雪盡。
等劍鑄好後，時晚才知道他的劍同樣是星屑隕鐵，當年昆侖的老師們尋到的材料打一柄劍浪費，打兩柄劍又有些空缺，于是他們将星屑隕鐵一分為二，加入不同的珍品，鑄成了兩把相似又不同的劍。
時晚的劍通體漆黑，看起來鋒銳森冷，但劍尖流轉着的一抹綠意，柔和了它的攻擊性。
本命劍往往由劍修自己命名，時晚的手握上劍柄的那一刻，他感覺手中的劍同他一樣歡欣愉悅，他們是彼此之間最親密的伴生。
“想好他的名字了嗎？”
在時晚停止練習劍法後，站在遠處笑着觀看的時序手執着正在嗡鳴的終雪盡：“總不能一直沒有名字。”
兩柄劍的主材料都是星屑隕鐵，雖然鑄造的時間不同，但卻是一對雙生劍。
“名字啊……”時晚愛惜地拂過那漆黑的劍身，劍身裏倒映出他笑盈盈的一雙眼，“就叫‘随春生’吧。”
星屑隕鐵鑄就了一對雙生劍。
一名終雪盡，二名随春生。
……
時晚大三那年，時序已經畢業了，昆侖的山主愛惜她的天賦，将她選做了傳人。
想要繼承昆侖山主的位置，需要将昆侖這百餘座茫茫大山盡數清剿一遍，用實力來證明自己的資格，于是時序進入了繼承的歷練。
時晚開始與她聚少離多，他每次看見時序，時序都帶着傷，可她笑容銳利，精神昂揚，站在人群裏璀璨耀眼，沒人能遮蓋她的風華。
她是天生的劍修，冠絕同輩的天才。
時晚聽到最多的對自己的稱呼，是“未來天下第一的弟弟”。
他不惱怒，他只為他的姐姐驕傲。
他始終在追着姐姐的背影，他也堅信終有一天他能和姐姐并肩，姐姐不是什麽“未來的天下第一”，她就是第一。
當之無愧的天下第一！
“我的天賦也不差呀！”時晚在訓練結束後，對着自己活潑的随春生說，“我們總有一天會追上她的！”
于是漆黑的劍蹦起來，用劍柄在他頭上傲嬌地敲了一下。
這還用廢話嗎！
……
大三上學期快要結束的時候，曲玉韬神神秘秘地過來找時晚，讓他換一身帥氣的衣服，時晚不明所以卻依舊照辦。
等他換好了衣服，曲玉韬駕着飛劍載着時晚，去了昆侖難得沒有冰雪覆蓋的山峰。
時間如流水，昔日的小胖墩在三年裏抽條成了挺拔的青年，只是一貫不變的話多。
綠草如茵的山峰上，他們這一屆的學生都來了，大家三五成群地聚在一起講話，曲玉韬載着時晚飛過來的時候，其他人紛紛圍上來———
“喲，今天我們小晚打扮的像模像樣啊～”
“啧啧啧，這就是傳說中的衣冠禽獸？”
“看時老大今天這身打扮，很難想象是他在訓練場裏将我們冷酷無情地打趴下！”
“就是就是！強烈譴責時晚同學那具有欺騙性的外表！”
在嘻嘻哈哈聲裏，同學們将時晚他們三人簇擁到了中間：“來來來，拍合照了！”
“我們所有人都站在這兒———”時晚有點迷惑，“誰去拍？”
“放心！”站在他右邊的曲玉韬用胳膊肘捅捅他：“我把我弟貢獻出來了！”
他高聲道：“連溪———”
比正常成年人還高的巨石後，鑽出來一個睡眼惺忪、肉乎乎的小豆丁：“哥～”
“連溪寶貝快給我們拍照！”
“哈哈哈哈哈玉韬你怎麽壓榨這麽小的童工啊？”
“小溪乖乖給我們拍照，到時候姐姐給你買糖吃～”
“來啦來啦～”曲連溪奶聲奶氣道，“哥哥你答應我的事不要忘啦～不然我就生氣了哦～”
“知道知道！”曲玉韬看着自己軟乎乎的弟弟，笑道：“十根不同口味的棒棒糖嘛！”
在大家的起哄聲裏，年幼的曲連溪按下了快門，将這歡樂的一幕永久定格。
“韬啊，照片記得給我打印一份哈！”
“我也要！我也要！”
“玉韬別忘了我的！”
“給我打印兩份，我容易丢東西！”
大家拍完照之後迅速散開，改成了在一邊圍觀，還有幾個活潑的湊到小小的曲連溪身邊，捏捏他肉乎乎的臉頰，煩得曲連溪嗷嗚嗷嗚地裝老虎吓人。
時晚也準備離開，卻被燕豆蔻和曲玉韬一左一右按住了肩膀。
“我說我們時大天才，別這麽急啊———”曲玉韬無奈道，“忘了前兩天老師通知我們的嗎？”
時晚下意識看向燕豆蔻，眼中浮現點點疑惑：“什麽……通知？”
燕豆蔻輕輕地揪了一下時晚有點長的頭發：“優秀學生代表合照啊！”
熟悉的字眼觸動了記憶，時晚總算想起來了：“竟然不是拍班級合照麽？”
“我們三個合照總得有個人幫着拍。”曲玉韬聳聳肩，“我在班群裏問了一下誰願意幫忙，結果他們呼啦啦全湧上了要拍大合照。”
燕豆蔻笑着嘆了一口氣：“阿晚，不練劍的時候你就是個笨蛋。”
時晚轉過頭看向她，有點緊張，又有點認真地解釋：“我不是笨蛋，就是事太多了，不小心給忘了。”
“好吧。”燕豆蔻松開時晚被揪住的頭發絲，“那信你一回。”
他們倆說話的時候，圍在遠處的同學們紛紛交換了一個心照不宣的眼神———咦惹，好好的山峰，竟然有粉紅泡泡的酸臭味！
離得最近的曲玉韬首當其沖，他感覺自己像顆發光的熒石，在這裏格格不入。
“連溪拍照！”他迅速尋求外援，“再加十根棒棒糖！”
曲連溪不學老虎叫兇人了，他抱着相機，邁着小短腿噔噔噔跑過來：“來啦～”
于是新的照片再次出爐，打印出來後有了落款———【壬辰年優秀學生代表曲玉韬、時晚、燕豆蔻】。
攝影者【曲連溪】。
這一天結束後，時晚光禿禿的劍柄上，多了一個随風飄蕩的粉色平安結。
給時晚送平安結的曲玉韬笑着調侃他，還用了很久不曾用過的稱呼：
“我說兩位大俠啊，難道我也是你們粉紅泡泡的一環嗎？”
……
優秀學生代表的照片最終被放到了靈山的藏書室，和許許多照片一起，陳列在了璃鏡後。
曲玉韬目光從那些照片上劃過，不由心生感慨：“我們也成了昆侖的一部分啊……”
人會随着時間湮滅在歲月中，史書也會在更疊之中只剩下寥寥數言，無數普通人只是遙遠歲月中的一粒沙，不會有細致的生平留下。
怎麽證明他們存在過？
這裏，證明他們存在過。
燕豆蔻忽然一言不發地打開了璃鏡，取出了那張照片，她從口袋裏掏出了另一張照片———是他們這一屆的合照。
“悄悄把他們放在我們後面！”燕豆蔻眨眨眼，“畢業的時候說出來不哭死他們！”
“咦～”曲玉韬說，“真壞，我同意！”
時晚沒說話，但他使了一個小小的法術，将兩張照片固定在了一起。
曲玉韬拍拍他的肩：“英雄所見略同。”
他們從靈山的藏書室出去，還有不到一周昆侖就要放寒假了，大家最近都在忙着進行最後的沖刺，藏書室裏人不多，但書滿為患。
好不容易從書堆擠出來，連時晚都長長地吐出一口氣，實在是太難擠了。
“放假前的藏書室，非銅皮鐵骨不要輕易嘗試，真———”曲玉韬的吐槽在看到天空的那一刻戛然而止，“那……那是什麽？！”
昆侖常年淡藍的天空破開了口，一條條裂縫扭曲着，裂縫背後是不見底的黑色，令人望之生畏，有詭異的東西從裂縫裏飛出來，散向四面八方，最大的那一團徑直沖向他們的方向。
昆侖凜冽刺骨的靈氣頃刻染上詭谲，無邊的惡意籠罩下來，帶着不祥的氣息。
他們三人配合默契不需要眼神交流，燕豆蔻展開防禦法陣，時晚蓄勢待機，曲玉韬向藏書室裏同學們示警，這一切都只發生在兩秒之間。
墜落下來的詭異東西視靈氣如無物，縱然時晚已經在第一時間進行躲避，也依舊被它撞入了身體中。
時晚從小就知自己體質特殊，容易招引陰物，哪怕是在昆侖，他也盡量避免受傷流血。陰物入體，時晚在發現無法逼出後，第一時間封住了自己靈氣的運行，用本命劍壓制體內那詭異的東西：“豆蔻，封印我！”
燕豆蔻的反應也極快，随身攜帶的陣盤全數落在時晚身上，幾乎将他纏成了一個銀色的光繭。
昆侖這時已經全亂了，所有的師長都在忙着處理天空中裂口裏飛下來的陰物，保護分散在各座雪峰沒有反抗能力的一二年級學生，因為燕豆蔻封印得太及時，時晚體內陰物的氣息沒有洩出多少，以至于暫時無人反應過來有些東西是什麽，和體質特殊的時晚碰在一起又有什麽嚴重的後果。
動彈不得的時晚被他們帶到了藏書室內暫避，因為這一年關鍵，所以期末周時考核任務最重的就是三年級，他們這一屆卷得要命，每個人都泡在藏書室，曲玉韬和燕豆蔻帶着時晚退到藏書室時，接到他們示警的同學們已經在一樓等他們了。
時晚狀态不佳不能輕易挪動，燕豆蔻和曲玉韬商量後決定由曲玉韬帶着三年級的一部分同學，護送着一二年級學生去更安全的地方，燕豆蔻和其他人留在此處看護時晚。
雙方分道揚镳後不久，時晚身上銀色的陣紋突然開始黯淡，且黯淡的速度越來越快，好像在短短時間內就耗空了能量。
他們補封印的速度根本趕不上時晚破壞的速度，幾息之間，陣紋全數消失，時晚搖搖晃晃地起身，他的瞳孔變得漆黑，黑到近乎可怖地步，他擡手招出了随春生，提劍指向對面的同學。
随春生在他手中瘋狂掙紮，甚至試圖調轉劍身去敲他腦袋，但在靈力的強行灌注下，他的掙紮幅度越來越小，一聲痛苦的劍鳴後，随春生徹底安靜下來。
漆黑的霧氣環繞在随春生身側，劍尖流轉的綠意染上深沉的黑，指向對面那群人的劍尖，再也不會掙紮與反抗。
“時晚！”之前為了封印時晚，燕豆蔻幾乎耗空了所有靈力，此時的臉色發白，“不要被詭異控制！”
在意識到時晚不對勁時，同學裏就通過劍令向師長們發送求救信號了，但求救的訊號剛點燃就熄滅，仿佛有股神秘力量，遏制了他們的求援。
撞入時晚身體中的東西是不化骨的脊骨，是不化骨中最暴戾、最強大的一截骨頭，幾千年孕養出的極惡之氣，時晚的意識根本就無法反抗。
作為這一屆最頂尖的劍修，他的劍轉向了自己的朋友。
等曲玉韬送完一二年級的學生，帶着不放心的其他同學趕回來時，藏書室的一樓已經變成了屍山血海，到處都是飛濺的肉塊和血跡，流淌的鮮血在腳下彙成了小溪。
時晚低着頭站在一地殘肢斷臂中間，随春生垂在他身側，劍尖一滴滴落着血，血落在腳下，彙到鮮血形成的小溪中。
地上的屍骸裏，依稀還能辨出幾分曾經的、同學的模樣，幾個小時前還在說笑的人，就這樣變成了一地屍塊。
曲玉韬他們當場彎腰吐了出來。
他們的舉動驚動了垂着頭的時晚，時晚“看”向了他們的方向，他的眼神冷漠到沒有半點活人的情緒，比起看獵物，更像在看死物，他的眼神暴虐嗜殺，看不到半點熟悉的影子。
時晚發現了他們，于是他擡手封印了這片空間，不化骨吞噬他意識的同時，也将他的能力拔高到了一個前所未有的程度。
他們沒能走脫，濺着血跡的書籍，血色更深了一層。
這裏成了真正的地獄。
随春生最後刺進的是曲玉韬的胸膛，因為他是醫修，所以被所有人護在最後，可無論他怎麽壓榨自己為其他人治療，也只能看着昔日的同學一個個死在自己的眼前，他發瘋過、叫罵過，甚至天真地希冀能喚起時晚一星半點的神志———時晚已經錯的離譜，不能一錯再錯了！
可沒用，什麽都沒用！
“時晚！你會後悔一輩子的！”
随春生上缭繞的黑氣随着鋒利的劍身刺入曲玉韬身體的那一刻，他感覺到了解脫，目睹着鮮活的同學們一個二個死在眼前，在自己眼皮底下變成了屍塊，這種無力的痛苦感逼得他想一死了之。
曲玉韬雙手的經脈已經斷了，但凡他能拿起劍，他會帶着時晚一起死，可他做不到。
随春生貫穿皮肉刺入心髒，曲玉韬聽到了自己的心跳聲，瀕死之際，他聽到陣法停止運轉的聲音，之後，他就陷入黑暗裏了。
……
時晚是在撕心裂肺的劇痛裏醒來的，視線還未恢複焦距前，他先嗅到了濃烈的血腥味，熏得他幾欲作嘔，在視線清晰後，他發現他的劍已經刺破了時序的衣衫，沁出了一片血色，千鈞一發之際，他盡力揚着劍向上一劃，恐怖的劍痕從時序的心口斜斜劃到她的左肩。
洶湧的鮮血噴出來，空氣中的血腥味更濃郁了幾分。
時晚最初意識到的劇痛，是因為時序的劍穿過了他的心髒———在他的劍抵達之前。
終雪盡在他的心口震顫着，尾端淡藍色的劍穗搖晃，發出像哭泣一樣的悲鳴。
時序的臉冷極了，像是雪峰上不化的冰雪，哪怕頂着這樣嚴重的傷勢，時序的手依舊執着劍，将他牢牢地釘在了牆上。
時晚的思緒有些遲鈍，那麽嚴重的血腥味，不是時序的傷可以造成的，他的目光在周圍晃了一圈，卻好像失去了言語的功能———四處飛濺着鮮血，滿地屍骸殘片，就算是最嚴苛的歷練裏，也不會出現這麽恐怖的畫面。
他在這片狼藉裏，看到了許多熟悉的東西：牧覽的半塊劍令、六棋最愛的項鏈、承宇的一只眼睛……幾個小時前還在和他打招呼的同學們，已經成了毫無生機的碎塊。
缺失的那部分記憶好像蘊含了無窮無盡的恐怖，時晚幾乎要聽不清自己聲帶震顫時說出了什麽。
我到底……做了什麽？
他聽到了時序的聲音，她從來都堅定溫柔，連嚴厲都少有，可現在，時序的聲音痛苦又尖銳———
“時晚！！！”
時序在發現天空的異動時正在掃蕩一座山峰，她毀掉了從天而降的陰物後，心中忽然湧起了極不好的預感，預感來得又急又兇，她痛得一時間竟然站立不住，一直安靜懸浮在她身側的終雪盡急得圍着她團團轉，和她一樣不安。
時序突然意識到———時晚出事了。
所以她會感應到不對，終雪盡也會給她預警。
昆侖凜冽的靈力已經在這突發情況下變得混亂暴戾，時序好不容易感應到時晚所在的方位，但他沒有想到她趕過去時，見到的畫面是渾身浴血的時晚将随春生插入曲玉韬心髒，而他的身後屍山血海，無一存活。
……
這一場災難來的沒有預兆，就像這場悲劇的發生。
壬辰年的大三共有二十三個人，最終只活下來了兩個，一個是造成這一切的時晚，一個是用各種珍藥勉強搶回一條命的曲玉韬。
曲玉韬雖然活着，但傷得太重，一生的修為從此無法再寸進分毫，而時晚，變成了一個徹頭徹尾的怪物。
若是正常人被一劍刺中心髒，不及時救治必死無疑，可時晚卻在痛苦掙紮之中，漸漸傷口複原———不化骨的脊骨，賦予了他“不死”的能力。
沒有辦法殺死時晚，于是他被關到了無萦，那是昆侖最寒冷的地方，靈氣不夠深厚走進去都會受傷，從來只用來關押罪大惡極之徒。
時晚被囚鎖在無萦的的最深處，昆侖這段時間收集來的不化骨碎片和他封印在了一起，之後長安學府也像昆侖移交了一批，層層冰鎖鏈将時晚固定在了這片冰天雪地裏，求生不得，求死不能。
那天發現眼前這一切慘劇都因他而起時，時晚崩潰了。本就是暫時回攏的神志再次消散，即使頂着貫穿心髒的傷勢，時晚也差點将時序殺死，直到時序破壞了時晚借由不化骨布下的隐匿陣法，不化骨的氣息飄散出去，昆侖的老師們趕到才合力制住了時晚。
————安置藏書室的靈山在這一戰裏徹底毀掉。
不化骨的氣息萦繞上了藏書室所有的物品，暴戾陰寒的靈氣徹底毀掉了這座山，昆侖的師長們迫不得已用禁術将地面上的一切都沉入了地下，将這座山連着已經失去靈性變成兇劍的随春生一同封印在地下。
這一封印就是十八年。
十八年裏，前十年時晚都是渾渾噩噩，神志不存的模樣，看起來像是瘋癫的怪物，這十年間，從巨變之後開始沉默寡言的時序來過一趟，她頂着傷人的寒氣，站在了時晚面前。
終雪盡出現在她手中，她取下了終雪盡的劍穗———劍穗是時晚送給她的，祝賀她擁有了自己的本命劍，時序從系上開始，就再沒取下過。
時序改造了劍穗，将它改成了一樣的靜心凝神的法器，或者說，固定在時晚身上的又一道枷鎖。
她将劍穗紮入時晚的右耳，沒有神志的時晚因為痛苦而對她低聲咆哮，拉動着無邊無際的冰鎖鏈發出嘩啦的聲響。
Blood flowed from his right ear, dyeing the light blue tassel of the sword into a red tassel - that was the only color on his body.
In the eleventh year of being imprisoned in Wu Yingli, Shi Wan showed signs of regaining sanity.
After fourteen years of being imprisoned in Wuling, Shi Wan's consciousness overcame his incorruptible spine and restored all his memories.
In the four years after he woke up, Shi Wan tried to die several times, but his incorruptible bones had transformed his body into a special container, making death a luxury.
In the eighteenth year of being imprisoned in Wuying, Qu Yutao came to see him and told him that they had found a way to make Shi Wan die.
A few months later, someone brought a confused boy.
"It's been eighteen years..." Shi Wan's voice was filled with death, yet also contained an unnoticeable hope, "...Are you sure it's him..."
He got a positive answer—
"yes."
So Shi Wan laughed. He had been unconscious for ten years, in a daze for four years, and sober for four years. Finally, he was liberated. He laughed so hard that his shoulders trembled slightly, and the red tassel thread on his right ear flew and pierced into his back. He groaned in pain, but he felt happy in his heart.
Finally... the day has come...
He was waiting and hoping. The boy who could end all his suffering had grown into a young man and his smile was still as enthusiastic as before. He told Shi Wan joyfully that he would definitely rescue him.
Shi Wan did not tell him that he had actually absorbed all the Immortal Bones sealed here into his own body during the past ten years or so. In a sense, he was the real Immortal Bones. Breaking the chains and destroying the empty shells of the Immortal Bones were all part of sword-forging. The last step of sword-forging was himself.
According to legend, the Hound is the ancestor of zombies, and only a magic sword tempered with the blood of the Hound can kill him completely.
I feel sorry for the lateness.
When he grabbed the sword and stabbed it into his heart, he felt no fear or sadness.
"Sword cultivators... must not abandon their swords."
But he dropped his natal sword.
When Kun Wujian's sword pierced his heart, he inexplicably missed a receding figure, two playful swords, one black and one white, many people under the green grass, the pink peace knot, and the sweet dumpling.
He leaned his head on the shoulder of the man who ended all his pain and sin. He wanted to apologize again, but he no longer had the strength.

Shi Wan felt himself getting lighter and lighter, and for the first time in nearly twenty years, he felt peace.
There seemed to be drops of water on his neck, which was different from his already cold blood; it was boiling hot.
Before he finally disappeared, he recalled a thought that had flashed through his mind—
[The person chosen is Gu Hongying, who seems to be not bad. ]
The world is great, but fortunately, he will never have an afterlife.
