Final Chapter: Past Life.
Three thousand years ago.
There are two great gods in heaven, Lord Xingye and Lord Difu.
It is said that the two of them knew each other in the underworld and were childhood playmates.
The relationship is very close.
That's what people say outside, but it's actually not true.
When Lord Xingye was in the lower realm, he was the young master of the Lin family. Lin Xingye.
When the God Emperor Fan was in the lower world, he was the young master of the Chi family, Chi Fan.
In Huaiyao City, the reputations of the two people are as different as heaven and earth.
Chi Fan was a child of destiny, and even the little beggars who passed by would praise him. However, he had a cold personality and always acted superior, keeping strangers away.
You know the Chi family! They are a wealthy family in Huaiyao.
Of course, the ones born are the best among men.
Many people say so.
Actually, it is not. Chi Fan was born on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, which is unlucky.
That day, a strange phenomenon struck Huaiyao, and torrential rain poured down. Dark clouds obscured the shining Ziwei star.
The midwife said that he would bring misfortune to his parents in the future.
Who knows whether it is true or not, but his mother died when he was five years old.
So the reputation of being a jinx who brings misfortune to his father and mother was confirmed.
He couldn't even attend his mother's funeral and was locked in a dilapidated house in the backyard.
It rained that day. He curled up at the gate of the yard, looked up at the sky, and hot tears mixed with the rain flowed down his face.
That day he met the playboy Lin Xingye.
He came to the funeral with his father. He had been fearless since he was a child, but he actually sneaked out and climbed over the wall at someone else's funeral.
In fact, he was just curious why such a shabby house was locked.
There won't be any bad guys involved.
Sitting on the wall, he saw Chi Fan, who was about the same size as him, sitting at the door, getting caught in the rain. His body was shaking as if he was crying.
He thought that the man might be a fool, because if he sat a little further in he would not get wet.
"What's there to cry about? Dad said that a real man should never cry. If someone bullies you, you should bully them back."
"Bully back?"
Maybe because he had been feeling inferior for too long, he never thought of rebelling, rebelling against his background. He was very well-behaved and afraid of being disliked.
"It's just a fight, don't you understand? Just go up and start fighting!"
Lin Xingye jumped down from the wall and pulled him to a place where the rain could not reach him.
"What's the point of you getting wet in the rain? Those who bully you won't show you mercy. They just want you to suffer."
"You have to resist. Do you understand?"
"Beat up anyone who dares to make a move."
If you can't beat me, come find me. My name is Lin Xingye! I'm a little bully. No one is not afraid of me. No one dares to bully me.
Later, Lin Xingye was taken away by Lin Yanzhi, but even though he caused trouble, he was not beaten.
Just because his father loves him.
What truth can a little brat come up with?
Maybe he's just here to brag.
But Chi Fan had changed.
It's not his fault that he wants to become stronger, and he will never admit it. He will eventually pay back those who bullied him with interest.
He rarely saw his father after that, probably because his father was afraid of death.
He finally had the courage to climb over the wall that imprisoned him, ran to his father and said that he wanted to go to school.
His father was quite surprised, but he didn't really want him to stay in the mansion.
The Chi family had plenty of money, so they sent him to the best school in the city and had the private tutor arrange a shabby room for him inside the school. Then they left him alone and told him not to go home unless he had something to do.
In the thatched hut, there was a straw mat, an iron pot, and a few worn-out brushes thrown around.
This is all his possessions.
Because he had no money, he went to the mountains to dig wild vegetables when he was very young and took them to the market in Huaiyao to sell them for money.
When he grew up a little, he went to the bookstore in the city to help them copy books.
He must have survived.
He stayed in that shabby place for eight years before being taken back by the Chi family.
He was taken back in a legitimate way because Mr. Chi was seriously ill and the concubines were not able to conceive and did not give birth to a son.
They were afraid that there would be no one in the Chi family to carry on the family line.
Haha, isn’t his father afraid that he will kill him?
His clothes and shelter had improved, but he still wasn't as comfortable as he was in the thatched hut.
Continuing the family line?
I guess his father made a mistake. The person he loves probably can't give their Chi family any offspring.
——
Eight years later, the little bully Lin Xingye has become a notorious playboy, doing nothing and causing trouble everywhere.
Lin Yanzhi compares him with Chi Fan every day.
"Look at the Chi family. Even though they only have one son, they're very capable. Good at everything, business, science, and everything else. Even the professor praised him for his future greatness. And look at you and your brother. One of you only knows how to travel and write. You're even worse. You can't do anything but cause trouble."
"He's good because he can give birth. If you envy him, go find him and have him as your son. If all else fails, then just work hard and give birth to a daughter, and marry into the Chi family."
Regardless of what his father said, Lin Xingye was still sent to school.
Lin Xingye hated Chi Fan even before he met him.
Very annoying.
After meeting him, I find his condescending attitude even more annoying.
I simply don't like him and want to compare him with others in everything.
He was the devil in the circle, and everyone had to be polite to him when they saw him, but Chi Fan was not afraid of him and even tried to get close to him.
Lin Xingye just couldn't understand why a cold and aloof scholar who had been in the academy for eight years would start talking dirty when he saw him.
What type do you like?
The kind of graceful girl in Xiaoxiang Tower who can play the piano and sing.
Especially Miss Zhilan, the way she covers her face and smiles can make your soul fall away.
Lin Xingye only said nice things. After all, he had so many subordinates. How could he convince them if he didn't go to places like this?
When he got there, he just sat in the lobby, drank a few glasses of wine, and talked some dirty talk.
As for why it was Miss Zhilan, it was because he only chose this one girl, and it was instigated by several of the guys around him.
I entered the boudoir, listened to music for half an hour, chatted for an hour or two, and finally came out after enduring for a long time.
When asked how he felt, he calmly gave a thumbs up and commented that he was living a good life.
"You can't sing a song, but you can recite a poem?"
Chi Fan didn't think he was very graceful, but with his face, if he really wore a wide-sleeved silk gown, he would not be much worse than the girls in Xiaoxiang Tower.
"That's fine. I'm not picky."
Lin Xingye said so, and Chi Fan took it as his agreement.
Not long after, Chi Fan came to propose marriage with a large group of people and a lot of betrothal gifts.
Don’t go to Xiaoxiang Tower anymore. I will recite poems and paint for you.
Old man Lin didn't expect that Chi Fan, whom he talked about every day, would come to propose marriage to his son.
The Chi and Lin families lost all their face in Huaiyao.
The marriage definitely didn't take place. Not only did he not get married, he even stopped going to school.
Chi Fan became the person that the little bully Lin Xingye feared the most.
Even if he saw Chi Fan on the road, Lin Xingye would take a detour.
Perhaps because people's words were scary, Old Master Lin directly sent someone to send Lin Xingye to the Sword Sect's Floating Shadow Mountain. Although he left Huaiyao, Chi Fan's name still lingered in his mind.
Because Chi Fan went to Heshan University, which majored in liberal arts.
It was the grand elder of Heshan College who personally went to pick him up.
In the past, it was his father who praised him, but now his father doesn’t dare to praise him anymore, and it is his master who praises him instead.
It was said that the old man at Heshan College had found a treasure, a man of great comprehension and a deep respect for his teachers. Although he entered school late, he was extremely gifted, and within just five years, he had already achieved enlightenment with his master.
The sect disciples also asked him a few questions: I heard that you and Chi Fan are both from Huaiyao, have you met each other?
No.
Don’t know.
Never heard of it.
Chi Fan, Chi Fan, Chi Fan! Stop it. He has been hearing it for more than ten years.
So annoying.
It was annoying to listen to, and I felt even more unhappy. Why did everyone talk about Chi Fan when Huaiyao was mentioned? What was wrong with Lin Xingye?
Maybe because he had been whipped for so long, Lin Xingye really started to work hard.
He got up early and went to bed late, practicing desperately, just to get rid of the resentment he had been holding since he was a child.
More than a decade later, his name could finally be mentioned together with Chi Fan's.
People say: There are twins in Huaiyao, Wenyou, floating in the maple pond, pure and elegant like lotus, deep and profound like valley.
Wu You, Xing Ye, blood-stained clothes holding swords and laughing at the blue sky, as bright as a jade tree in the wind
Lin Xingye finally felt proud of himself.
That was also the first time he went home in more than ten years.
His father had aged considerably, his body hunched over, and he used a cane. Even his brother had a beard, but he remained the same as when he left home.
Somehow, when he returned, Chi Fan had also returned. He was dressed in white and looked like a Taoist immortal.
So many years have passed, and not many people mention the idea of proposing marriage anymore.
The older generation thinks that everyone has done some bad things when they were young.
After entering Huaiyao City, you will pass by the Lin family on your way back to Chi Mansion.
As soon as Lin Xingye arrived at the gate of the mansion, he saw the white clothes of the immortals fluttering at the city gate.
But he just glanced at her, then quickly turned his eyes away and went into the mansion.
His father had only blamed him for not living up to his expectations, and didn't think of blaming him. After he came back, he had a few more wrinkles on his face from laughing so hard.
His father finally stopped pointing fingers at him and saying he was good for nothing every day.
To be honest, he missed it quite a bit.
He stayed there for a very long time, until his unkempt master came over and scolded him, and then he packed up and left.
Because he didn't know when he would come back next time, and whether his father would still be there when he came back.
That was indeed his last time returning to Huaiyao.
Because he was in seclusion for cultivation, he didn't receive the news of his father's death until several months later.
The fearless little bully practiced swordplay in the bamboo forest all day. When he looked back, he saw a plate of osmanthus cake, which he had loved since childhood, placed on a stone table not far away.
He didn't know who sent it, and he didn't even feel the person's breath.
It must be his old immortal master.
The road to becoming an immortal is long, and the small sapling growing at the gate of his yard has grown into a towering tree.
The names of the two are often mentioned at the same time.
A hundred years later, even their ascensions happened one after the other.
But this time it was Lin Xingye who ascended first.
In fact, Chi Fan had already reached the time to ascend, but he had been suppressing his cultivation.
He is waiting for someone.
If he cannot ascend, then I will accompany him and perish in this world.
He wants to stay in the same world with him forever.
At the Tianmen Gate, two figures, one red and one white, stood facing each other.
The first thing Young Master Qingya said was, "Xingye Immortal Lord, is the marriage proposal from a hundred years ago still valid?"
Then, the two men started fighting. The two immortals who had just ascended to heaven fought fiercely at the gate of heaven. In the end, it was only when the gods came out that they pulled the two apart.
From then on, the news of the discord between Immortal Lord Xingye and Immortal Lord Difan spread throughout Tianjie.
No matter the size of the banquet, as soon as the two meet, they will start fighting after just three words.
Over the past few hundred years, countless octagonal glazed tables used in the Yao Chi Fairy Banquet have been broken.
The punishments from the God became heavier each time, but the two refused to change their ways and acted as if they would never have anything to do with each other again.
They fought like this for nearly a thousand years until the Dark Domain broke through the seal of the boundary marker and launched a massive invasion, and then the Red Flame God came to act as a peacemaker.
The two met and fought again. Even the Red Flame God felt that Di Fan deserved the fight.
The first thing they said when they met was: "Xingye, how much do you want as a betrothal gift to be my wife? How about I give you my Jinbi Pool Palace?"
Despite the fight, the two were sent to guard the boundary marker and resist the demons.
The war between immortals and demons lasted nearly a hundred years before it ended. No one knew what the two had experienced. Although they still did not get along, they finally stopped fighting at the celebration banquet.
However, the little fairy who knew the situation still revealed a thing or two. It was probably because in order to save Xingye, the battlefield god Shen Fan exhausted his immortal power and took the palm strike from the Demon Lord Che Ming.
This life-saving grace will definitely dilute the previous grudges.
The gratitude is there, but the resentment remains.
Because Di Fan was too shameless, he started to seek repayment after waking up.
"I saved your life. Are you willing to repay me with your body this time?"
He didn't do anything, and his expression didn't look very good.
"Change your request."
In the end, they couldn't reach an agreement, but Xingye was too embarrassed to take action.
He is repaying a favor, but he cannot be ungrateful.
So he gave Chi Fan a red fan, which was brought from the underworld and was not worth much.
But it was a gift from his father and it is very valuable.
Time passed quietly, and the two of them were gifted and soon ignited the divine fire, becoming the God Lord Xingye and the God Lord Difan.
Xingye is responsible for the peace of the heavenly realm, and because Chi Fan's supreme divine power can purify the evil spirit, he goes to guard the boundary marker of the dark realm.
(At least that’s what Lin Xingye thought at the time.)
Wearing a white dress, playing a guqin and holding a red fan, he stayed at the boundary marker for a thousand years.
A thousand years later, the two met again at the Jinque Yaoxi.
The first among the hundred immortals, sitting opposite each other.
Lin Xingye was dressed in a red robe, looking handsome and flamboyant, while Chi Fan was dressed in white, looking quiet and elegant.
He looked no different from before, and only Lin Xingye could see the faint demonic aura lingering around him.
Even if the evil spirit is purified, it will still be infected.
Chi Fan has changed, and a hint of hostility would occasionally flash in his eyes.
The evil spirit invaded his mind and magnified his desire infinitely.
Xingye~
How are you?
It would be even better if you are willing to be my wife
…
Until the seal of the Dark Domain Boundary Monument loosens again.
The God Emperor Fan led people to slay the demon and was seriously injured.
After the war, what greeted him was not the eternal song, but the invasion of the army.
Che Ming laughed at him, thinking that all his efforts in protecting all living beings ended up like this.
The pond is filled with relief.
He never wanted to protect everyone, he only wanted to protect that one person.
Because he was contaminated with evil spirit, the hypocritical people from the six realms attempted to kill the god, but were stopped by Lin Xingye with his sword.
The red clothes fluttered, and the hands held black ink.
The red flames burned across the ice, and the clear sound echoed in the valley.
"Anyone who crosses this line will be killed without mercy!"
…
"Chi Fan! If you dare to leave first, I will throw all your souls into the Avici Hell and use all the tortures on you!"
…
"If... there's still a wisp of soul left, and I've survived the Avici Purgatory, can you... lock me in the Xuanmo?
"Don't dream... Xuan Mo doesn't accept wandering ghosts..."
Lin Xingye burned a part of his own soul to help him rekindle the divine fire, but he himself had to endure the pain of soul-devouring every day.
In the Demon-Suppressing Cave, black iron pierced the shoulders, making clanging sounds with each pull.
Emperor Fan's eyes were red and he roared day and night.
The purest divine fire burned between his eyebrows, tempering his meridians and cleansing his marrow over and over again.
That face, those eyes, and the "Madam" that echoed in my ears again and again
The soul is reborn, and the pain is heart-wrenching.
He suffered.
Madam Shengsheng’s words are so sad and lingering that they are soul-stirring and heart-wrenching.
He can't bear it.
That day, the Demon-Suppressing Cave was surrounded by tens of millions of heavenly soldiers from the immortal realm.
They came to kill gods.
The one in red carries a sword, and the one in white holds a zither.
Together they fought against the millions of Jin soldiers.
Madam... do you regret it?
No regrets.
"Don't die before me."
The battle lasted for more than half a month, and most of the immortal soldiers were killed, and Lord Xingye eventually fell.
Emperor Fan ignited the divine fire that Lin Xingye had lit for him, performed a heaven-defying secret technique, transformed into a lotus platform, and took that wisp of remaining soul with him into the eternal reincarnation.
The soul is engraved, and the nightmare is haunting, entangled for life after life.
When a madman falls in love with a fool, the fool becomes a madman.
The movie ends with the boy's innocent question: "If the cycle of reincarnation ends, can they still go back?"
Another little boy next to him scratched his head and replied, "I don't know."
The next second he jumped up again as if he had been injected with chicken blood.
"But I guess they can go back. Because since ancient times, evil has never prevailed over good."
"Humph, if they go back, they will definitely give that bad guy Zixiao a good beating!!"
"agree!"
