Chapter 299

[What fate is fixed? What can never be changed? [Knife Element Alert.JPG]]

[Is it because of the green fish?]

[The people in the shadows said that there is a gate of life and death in the endless sea. If the white fish connected head to tail continuously sink to the bottom of the sea, it means [death], and the white bird that breaks away from the sea surface and flies into the clouds and looks down at the world means [life], death and rebirth...is this what the Xu people said about the aura of life and death?]

[I feel this statement makes sense. Does “life and death never cease, the gate of life and death is immortal” mean that as long as the cycle of life and death does not stop, the gate of life and death will exist forever?]

[Wait, is there a Gate of Life and Death in the comics? Or did I skip the page?]

[I didn’t see the Gate of Life and Death either. I didn’t even quite understand why Yingying changed from a young person to an old person in the pile of white fish, and then changed from an old person to Bai Ze. When they got close to the sea surface, Yingying turned into a human, and Bai Ze turned into a fish... I felt like my stupid brain was going to burn QAQ]

[Me too... What exactly does Tianyan want to tell us?]

[Is it possible that this was not drawn for us to see at all, so it doesn’t matter whether we understand it or not?]

[Hey! Don’t be so sentimental, comic fans!]

[I dare to speculate that the Gate of Life and Death in the Endless Sea has already appeared, and Yingying has already entered the gate. Why do people think that the Gate of Life and Death must be a door?]

[It makes so much sense, I am speechless!]

[Hiss... Assuming that the white light on Yingying's body is the Gate of Life and Death, and the white fish represents [death], Yingying's appearance becomes older and older as he falls, which is very consistent with the setting that he is gradually approaching death. At the end of death, he enters the Gate of Life and Death, where death and life alternate, and his appearance changes back to its current appearance.

Yingying was Bai Ze in his previous life, but father Huo said that he would always be a human. Could it be that the appearance of this half-human, half-Bai Ze form is the manifestation of the soul state?

If this conjecture is true, Yingying abandoned the part that belonged to Bai Ze in the process of moving toward [life], and became a complete human, while the part that belonged to Bai Ze returned to [death] and became a member of the white fish school. ]

[This statement really proves the saying "I will always be a human being", and the characteristics that belong to Shirazawa are completely stripped away from Yingying.]

[Shirazawa existed a long time ago, so when he returned to the sequence of [Death], his position was so high?]

[The green fish that swam over from the deep to help Yingying—I was terrified when I thought about it!]

[Reversing life and death, freezing fate... Damn! I'm terrified when I think about it!]

[Shit! That thought that just flashed through my mind, couldn’t it be true?!]

[Speak properly (angry)!! Don’t become like the big guys in the comics who are like the whisperers!!!]

On the page [Fate is fixed and cannot be changed.], the number of comments reached a small peak again, and comic readers expressed their opinions, because after turning this page, Tian Yan did not give an answer, but jumped to another scene.

The comic storyboards hit Gu Hongying's eyes, and when he zoomed out, he was already in the formation. White lines covered and connected every corner, and a large number of precious items were displayed between the nodes. Although comic readers did not recognize them, they could tell that they were very valuable just by looking at the exquisite details and expensive special effects.

In other words, can something used on the protagonist be bad?

Of course not!

The screen uses several flashbacks to explain the whole thing. Gu Hongying has finished honing his physique and is about to start infusing his spirit.

[I see! This is the legendary enlightenment, the bushi (pulling up the seedlings to help them grow)]

[Pelican: Are you polite?]

[I should feel bad for her because she looks so painful, but Tianyan’s painting is so funny hahahaha———]

[Yingying is madly absorbing spiritual energy to repair her meridians and her strength is skyrocketing. Outside the formation, the chief of the plant tribe is picking up small animals with a big sack... Hahahaha, chiefs of the demon tribe, can you be more serious? My filter is almost broken, hahaha!]

[The clan leaders were afraid that their dignified image would be damaged if the story was sent back by express mail, but if it was drawn in the comics, the whole world would know it~]

[I really want to see the expressions of the mini clan leaders when they see the comics. Can Boss Tianyan draw one?]

[Eh~ Are you calling the boss now? I want to see it, too!]

[I want to, too! Let me feel good! Let me feel good!]

Unfortunately, the comic readers' desire for more excitement was not met. This update seemed to be specifically about how Gu Hongying improved his strength, because after the soul infusion was completed, Gu Hongying took a short break and went to Kunlun again.

[Seven days of physical training, six days of spiritual cultivation, one day of rest and then immediately going to Kunlun—We are working models, right?]

[I have seen this entrance many times. Is it time to save the poor beautiful boy?]

[I know! It’s late!]

[Wuhu! The first thing we did after Yingying's big upgrade was to save our friends! So touching!]

[Hurry, hurry! I want to see them both crying and hugging each other!]

[Wuwuwuwu! Now that I’m older, I like to watch family reunions. The Lord of Kunlun Mountain, Shixu, must be waiting for Shiwan to come home!]

In the comic, after Gu Hongying reached the entrance of Wuying, he trotted all the way in. He had passed this road many times, so he knew every detail by heart. He was in a good mood and hummed a song, his eyes were almost smiling into crescents, and his steps were filled with light joy.

The comic once again uses a large horizontal page to present a world of ice and snow—dense vertical and vertical ice ridges hanging down at different heights, with sharp tips that shine as coldly as iron. The ice walls are rugged, condensing endless chill, and long ice chains crisscross and swirl, like a dark cloud weighing on the heart.

In a place where there was no one around, Gu Hongying's voice was heard before anyone else, and he said in a lively manner, "It's too late, senior!"

He always had the ability to brighten people's moods.

In the comic, Gu Hongying rushed to the high ice platform. The smile on his face was brighter than a sunflower, and his eyes were filled with joy. He happily showed the people who had been with him for more than a year how different he was now.

The storyboard showed Shi Wan's profile, his eyelashes were covered with icy mist, and his expression was faintly crazy. His head, back, and limbs were all covered with black air of varying densities, and a faint line extended from each black air, connecting to the incorruptible bone fragments sealed in the ice platform under his feet.

From a distance, Shi Wan looked like a cocoon wrapped in spider silk, or rather, he had become a part of the cocoon.

Gu Hongying couldn't see the black air, so when Shi Wan asked him to break the chains, he agreed without hesitation.

Gu Hongying agreed, but the comic readers saw the weirdness in it because of their different perspectives—can Shi Wan really be saved if all these chains are broken?

[I want to say that I have a bad feeling...]

[Don't scare yourself, everyone, stay strong! We will definitely be saved when it's late!]

[It's impossible that he will disappear after the chain is cut, right? Ha, ha, ha, what kind of hellish joke is this?]

[Since the comic can be released, it must have happened. Whether it is good or bad, we cannot change it.]

[Yes, we are just real bystanders.]

While the readers were discussing, Gu Hongying had already summoned the Kunwu Sword. The comic gave a close-up of his face—his expression was unprecedentedly serious.

"Blah--Blah--"

The silent ice chains trembled, and the friction sound of dragging themselves was tooth-grinding. One by one, the chains broke away from the ice wall. The malevolence wrapped in black air suddenly erupted at this moment. The dense ice chains blocked Gu Hongying's sight, and also blocked the platform that he could see before.

On the high platform, the last chain that bound Shi Wan fell off. He sat cross-legged on the ground, staggering. His black and white eyes became even more penetrating. The black energy surrounding him was even more intense than the chain that attacked Gu Hongying.

The red tassel flying around his earlobe pierced into his back. He just frowned, stretched out his hand and rudely pulled the tassel out from his back and held it in his hand. The tassel was waving its claws and teeth but could not move.

Shi Wan raised his other empty hand, and those icy chains surrounded by black air seemed to have received orders from the commander-in-chief and skillfully rushed towards Gu Hongying.

[Wait! I am confused about the current situation. Should I help Shi Wan?]

[Why do I feel like those ice chains are following Shi Wan's orders? Then why did Yingying rush over to cut the chains? Are they doing this because they are full?]

[Don’t worry about the chain! First, pay attention to the frozen bones under his feet. They disappeared one by one, leaving only traces!!!]

[It has come to this point. Don’t tell me that Shi Wan is the villain (screaming). I can’t accept it!!]

Is Shi Wan really a villain?

In the comics, his posture is very similar.

After Gu Hongying broke most of the chain with one sword, he slashed at the connection points on the ice wall frantically. Ice mist and debris were flying between heaven and earth. Gu Hongying's strong figure was reflected in Shi Wan's pupils, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

This smile was not pretty, and on his face it was even a little ugly, but everyone felt a sense of relief from this smile.

Shi Wan looked at the invincible sword in Gu Hongying's hand and subconsciously spread out his palms like him - that was the starting move for a swordsman to summon his own natal sword.

His palms were empty.

Shi Wan blinked slowly, the icy mist melted on his eyelashes, some of it turned into water droplets, leaving tiny marks at the corners of his eyes.

He stood up slowly, and without even taking a moment to catch his breath after completing everything, he jumped down from the platform. Gu Hongying rolled on the ground and avoided him.

"Senior Shi Wan!" Gu Hongying in the comic was extremely nervous, "Senior Shi Wan!"

[Damn it! They're not going to fight!]

［我現在感覺不對勁，到處都不對勁！可具體哪裏不對，我又說不上來！］

［我也是！嘤嘤你要不跑吧，喊其他大人來！］

讀者們的擔憂無法傳遞到漫畫裏，更無法更改已經發生的事實，他們只能看着時晚睜着一雙有些可怖的眼睛，一步一步走向顧鴻影的方向。

顧鴻影在不斷後退，剛剛砍鎖鏈的潇灑姿态消失無蹤。

地上冰鎖鏈的碎塊灑了一地，時序近乎無聲的腳步踏在碎塊上，鋒利的斷面折射出了一段又一段過去———

雪道之上救助同伴、課堂之間大放異彩、結交好友并肩前行、親人在側平平安安、聲名鵲起鑄造本命劍、無雪山峰同伴合影……

這是意氣風發、驕傲璀璨的過去。

随後災禍突降，被不化骨選為載體，手刃最親密的同伴，神聖的藏書室化作屍山血海。

那把漆黑的劍攻擊的時候，尾端甚至還墜着一個粉色的平安結。

他割下了一個戴着眼鏡的男孩的腦袋———

【嗚嗚嗚時老大，怎麽今天我的對手又是你啊！】

他砍斷了一個有着長馬尾的女孩的胳膊———

【也許某一天我們會死在怪異手中，所以更要珍惜眼下的每一分、每一秒。】

他削斷了一個瘦弱男孩的雙腿———

【哎喲，我們小晚有本事在豆蔻面前兇啊？】

他紮穿了衆人合力護着的、一個女孩的胸膛———

【以後我要是打不過你怎麽辦？】

【我的劍，永遠都不會對向你。】

“時老大！”

“時晚？！”

“小晚！！”

“時晚同學！”

“時晚！！！”

……

那那麽多道畫面，那麽多呼喚的聲音，最後都漸漸歸于寂靜，融到了漫天血色裏。

“噗哧———”

是利劍刺入血肉的聲音。

冰鎖鏈斷面折射出的過去與現在無限重合———

過去裏，時序的劍穿過了時晚的胸膛，現實裏，時晚抓着顧鴻影的劍猛然用力，昆吾劍穿過他的後背，露出一截沾着鮮血的劍尖。

時晚的頭垂在顧鴻影的肩膀上，他因為痛苦而痙攣發抖，眼神渙散，他好像一直在重複一個詞，只是沒有聲音。

他在說【對不起】。

即使已經沒有了意識，他還在一直重複着，直到他慢慢消失在空氣中，消失在這方天地裏。

紅色的流蘇從半空中掉下來，有了細密黑色花紋的昆吾劍跟着砸落到地上，顧鴻影發着抖，想去撿起那紅色的流蘇，卻最終只抓到昆吾劍鋒利的劍身，将手割得鮮血淋漓。

他的喉嚨裏發出古怪的氣音，像是動物垂死之時的悲鳴———

“為什麽會這樣……為什麽是我……為什麽……為什麽啊！！！”

他的樣子前所未有的狼狽，不是指外形，而是指眼裏的神采，顧鴻影的聲音嘶吼着不成句子，即使只是紙面上的漫畫，那種悲傷絕望的崩潰感也溢出來，感染了屏幕前的每一個人。

［我也想問為什麽……為什麽會這樣呢？］

［我剛剛還在猜時晚會不會是什麽心機深沉的大反派，故意騙取嘤嘤放他自由，結果他自己撞到昆吾劍上了……］

［嗚嗚嗚嗚嗚嗚嗚我現在哭得眼淚決堤！我都不敢想象嘤嘤現在有多難過！］

［嘤嘤他那麽想救下時晚，他還一直在為這個目标努力，結果時晚死在了他手裏，這TM的多殘忍啊！！！］

平時顧鴻影的狼狽只會讓讀者們嘻嘻哈哈的嘲笑他，調侃他運氣非，但這次，沒有人笑得出來，不單因為漫畫是真的，還因為眼前這些畫面實在是太殘忍。

顧鴻影一直是陽光積極又開朗的，有的讀者說他像盛開的向日葵，有的說他像可愛活潑的金毛大狗狗，有的說他像元氣滿滿的小太陽……對一切都那麽熱忱，對一切都那麽認真。

［如果能穿過屏幕抱一抱嘤嘤就好了……］

有讀者說出了大家的心聲。

［時晚的過去放的不多，我也被刀的心肝疼……那樣意氣風發的少年在這個地方人不人鬼不鬼地鎖了二十年，嘤嘤其實也是讓他解脫了。］

［嘤嘤，時晚沒有怪過你，他一直在和你道歉……］

［嘤嘤你不要難過了，時晚和昆吾劍融為了一體，他也是以另一種方式活着啊！］

［別哭了，嘤嘤你哭的我心都要碎了嗚嗚嗚———］

讀者們為冰天雪地裏紅着眼睛流淚的顧鴻影而落淚，在翻過這頁後，就是嘩啦啦的傾盆大雨，這場雨似乎将讀者們碎裂的心髒掼在地上，“嘩啦”一下摔成滿地碎片。

因為他們在雨中，看到了一張熟悉的臉。

這張臉的主人有着白如雪的發絲，以及同樣雪白纖長的睫毛，他靜靜阖眼躺在雨水裏，身下是被雨水沖開的血跡。

［？？？］

［我的老婆他又怎麽了！！！【尖叫.JPG】］

［今天是什麽好日子？處處發刀？！］

［老婆沒出現在更新裏時瘋狂想他，但我想看見的不是這樣的他啊！！］

［不行了不行了，我現在有點呼吸不過來【吸氧.GIF】］

畫面從崩潰的顧鴻影那邊挪到了不夜侯這邊，漫畫裏，不夜侯纖長的眼睫微微顫動着，睜開了一雙沒有神采的眼睛，雨水落在他蒼白的臉上，他想要用胳膊撐起身體，這樣簡單的動作卻努力了好幾次才成功。

僅僅只是坐起來，他就忍不住掩着唇低聲咳嗽，雨水打濕了不夜侯的衣衫，在昏沉的天色，瓢潑的大雨裏，不夜侯的身形似乎格外瘦削單薄。

讀者們第一次看見那樣崩潰的顧鴻影，也是第一次看見這樣狼狽的不夜侯，好像在極短的時間裏發生了悄無聲息的巨變，于是迫不得已造成了眼下的局面。

［我現在開始好奇了，計劃……到底是什麽？］

［從來沒見過老婆這樣虛弱，白發對于草木族來說不是什麽好兆頭吧？］

［老婆完美得找不到什麽缺點，越是這樣我越是心慌QAQ］

［老婆的缺點還不明顯嗎！什麽事都悶在心裏不說，什麽危險都自己扛！老婆你張張嘴是會死嗎！！！］

［我要衆籌給老婆買一個能敞開心扉說實話的嘴！！！］

在讀者們的哀鴻遍野裏，漫畫裏的不夜侯努力從大雨中起身，他的衣衫濕淋淋地挂在身上，這個時候他應該趕緊回到茶館去打理身上的狼狽，可不夜侯卻像個普通人一樣，慢慢地通過通道回到了茶館中。

他的身上一直有水滴在滴落，水滴不是純然的透明，讓人分不清這滴下的雨水裏，究竟有沒有摻雜他的血。

不夜侯無論做什麽都費力極了，甚至連烘幹一身水都只能在櫃子裏找符咒用，在翻出那疊符咒的時候，他的目光在符咒上頓了一瞬，接着才拿起來使用。

［那些符咒看起來是荼荼的字跡呢……］

［所以在漫畫沒有畫出的場景裏，不夜侯一直在教導菟菟嗎？］

［肯定會啊，先不說他們倆實錘的血緣關系，就老婆對菟菟那偏愛的态度，不教才怪呢！］

［我現在就想知道老婆到底做了什麽，才把自己折騰成了這副鬼樣子？雖然白毛确實是我們的人均XP，但這個白發真的超級超級令人擔心！！］

［附議！！！］

或許是為了解答讀者們的疑惑，漫畫在不夜侯使用符咒的時候将畫面拉近，撞入了不夜侯銀白色的眼瞳中，畫面轉換，有的漫天的星辰———

有兩顆星星幾乎重疊在一起，一顆明亮如影，一顆暗淡如石，兩者之間只有一道淺到看不見的線分隔。

漫畫只給了這兩顆星星一個角落的分鏡，像是單純作為轉換的間景，在意這個分鏡的人寥寥無幾，因為漫天星辰之下，平如鏡的海邊，披着灰袍子的邝冕看着從暗處走出來的帝休，嘆息着說出了一句炸得讀者頭腦空白的話：

“不夜侯前輩用自己，徹底換下了帝屋。”

［什麽玩意？！什麽叫用自己換下了帝屋？］

［所以老婆和褪了色兒似的就是因為介入了命運？老婆更改了族長的命運？！］

［難怪前面說“命運定格”，合着是老婆在一手推動？］

［那時晚變成劍靈，也是不夜侯改變的一部分嗎？］

［我覺得不是，按老婆那樣溫柔的性格，只會想辦法壓榨自己來想出一個兩全其美的方式，而不是讓嘤嘤直面這麽慘烈的死別……］

［卧槽！那豈不是說老婆因為改變了族長的命運而遭受反噬昏迷，嘤嘤在他昏迷期間殺死了時晚———這是什麽地獄展開！］

［為什麽不能想的再大膽一點呢？比如老婆同時改變了帝屋和嘤嘤的命運，那條青綠色的魚，被剝離下來的白澤，我真的不敢往細想……］

［老婆只做不說，能不能長長嘴啊我親愛的老婆！！！］

After expressing their intense, explosive emotions, the readers continued to flip through the pages. The "Loading" circle on the comic website kept spinning, and finally showed a sly expression, with a line of large, righteous words underneath.

[What are you still looking at? It's gone~]

Anxious comic book readers: "..."

Although everyone vaguely guessed Tian Yan's true identity, they didn't dare to act rashly, but Tian Yan... really deserved a beating!

At least finish drawing the sequel of my wife!!

A Qilin in the Kunlun Forbidden Land sneezed three times in a row, and Yu Tu, who had finally escaped back to the teahouse, suddenly received a huge amount of energy with some resentment that was not directed at him, which filled a large gap in an instant.
