long night walk

Chapter 878 Waiting for Dawn to Break

Although he and his cousin grew up together, no matter how close they are, it is not as important as his blood sister in his heart.

The path of spirituality is endless.

He couldn't imagine seeing his sister, who was able to practice together with him, become a mediocre mortal, and leave him with a beautiful face and withered bones.

Bai Lian did not expect that things would develop to this point.

If it's just life and death between mortals, then no other sect forces will be involved.

But now that Shang Ying's spiritual root is gone, those big figures of the older generation in the sect will naturally intervene in this matter in person.

Thinking of this, Bai Lian felt awe-inspiring.

Looking towards the corner of the long corridor, I saw Zheng Siyan gently holding a binding talisman between his fingers.

His gaze is like that of an evil beast in the night, cruelly looking at the prey that is about to be caught in the net, that kind of cold gaze that is like playing tricks.

After Shang Hong left, Zheng Siyan also stayed in Meng's house, surprisingly, he didn't bother Bai Lian again, just like the calm before the storm.

He did not force Bai Lian to be free, but instead found a guest room to settle down on his own.

It will be dark.

Night had fallen, and the red sunset glow in the western sky turned purple, gray, black, and finally faded away, and everything returned to deathly silence.

Mencius originally said that during the rare blue lantern festival, a lively blue lantern festival would be held for three full days.

But people were killed in the city, and even the government office was alerted to handle the case. The city was no longer as lively as it was on the first day.

People are panicked, and no one wanders around in the streets at night.

The entire Guangmeng City is surrounded by a gloomy and lonely atmosphere.

Mencius Fei was in a dazed state all day today. When he came outside Shang Ying's room, his eyes were dark and painful.

Just as he was about to knock on the door with his raised hand, he heard a low cough of pain in the room.

His voice was hoarse, as if he had triggered a wound in his heart, the blood in his throat seemed to be uncomfortably stuck in his throat, his cough became muffled and rapid, and he could no longer hold back his cough until it pierced his heart.

Mencius Fei's not-so-good-looking face turned even paler, and he couldn't let go of his hand, and he left the corridor as fast as he could escape.

Inside the room, Shang Ying clutched her heart, frowning and coughing in pain.

She stared at the closed door with painful eyes, as if she felt something.

She smiled helplessly, the smile seemed to be silent and sad.

Mencius gripped his chest tightly, the temperature of the spiritual root in it was extremely clear and scorching, he took big steps and ran forward frantically.

He didn't know where he was going.

Just run blindly...

keep running...

Until he bumped into a figure, although that figure was not so strong and powerful, it even had the frailty of a young man.

But the figure that he slammed into was motionless, on the contrary, he was ruthlessly shaken by the force of the collision and fell to the ground.

Meng Zifei looked at the boy who held out his palm to him, and said in a daze, "Brother Bai...Brother Baili."

Bai Lian looked calm and focused, looked at him and asked with concern: "Is Mr. Meng okay?"

Mencius smiled wryly and raised his hand, holding the palm of his hand to use his strength to stand up, showing a self-deprecating smile: "What can I do, am I not the best one? You should be happy to have a new life and a spiritual root, right?" ?”

His smile is uglier than crying.

Bai Lian did not continue this topic, but asked, "Why don't you question me?"

Mencius's smile faded away, and he asked puzzledly, "Question?"

Bai Lian said: "Shang Hong said, I manipulated the little ghost to kill you, you should have seen the appearance of the little ghost, don't you have any doubts at all?"

Mencius frowned and said, "Brother Baili was joking, if it was really what Brother Baili did, you would never come back to my Meng family again.

And from the beginning to the end, I sincerely invited Brother Baili to come to help, you have no reason to do so. "

Mencius is a transparent person, and Bai Lian thinks that this person is much smarter than he appears on the surface.

Bai Lian's eyes drooped slightly, and his eyelashes were very long, which perfectly covered his clear pupils. In the snow-colored night, his features were so beautiful.

I don't know what kind of emotion is in his eyes, but anyone who is familiar with him will know that he is seriously thinking about his own ideas in his heart at the moment with a delicate heart.

He spoke slowly, his tone was very soft, but he gave off an extremely firm feeling: "I can't say that this matter has nothing to do with me, but I will give her an account of Miss Shang Ying's matter."

Bailian's words are very subtle, not you, but her.

Meng Zifei was stunned again, his pale complexion was in stark contrast to the blood on his chest, but at this moment, the way he looked at Bai Lian changed quietly.

He didn't know what to say, so he nodded silently.

Bai Lian smiled, stepped forward, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "It's late at night, go to bed early."

After finishing speaking, he crossed paths with him.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Mencius turned around suddenly, his face was pale, even with a trace of panic, his chest heaved violently as if he had been holding a breath for a long time, he almost uttered these words in a roar!
"You can see it! Don't you!"

Baili An stopped and said in a helpless tone, "Since I didn't point it out, why do you take the initiative to tell the truth."

The snow under Meng Zifei's feet creaked, and he walked around in front of Bai Li'an short of breath, grabbing his arms with both hands.

His neck turned red, and he suppressed it a little bit, but in the end he roared hysterically: "You have seen through everything! Tell me how to pretend! Pretend again! Wouldn't I be ridiculous to the extreme!"

As if venting the pent-up anger in his chest, the tight string in Meng Zifei's heart snapped completely.

He seemed to be broken, he fell limply to the ground, his eyes were empty and confused.

He murmured, "Don't you have anything to ask?"

Baili quietly watched Meng Zifei who was sitting in the snow in a state of embarrassment, his eyes were deep and quiet, he pursed the corners of his lips, and said slowly: "Mr. Meng, when we met on the street, was it by chance? On purpose?"

Mencius laughed at himself, looked up at Bai Lian, and said seriously: "At that time, I really wanted to get acquainted with you, Brother Baili, but later..."

His gaze suddenly slackened, and then condensed into light. He raised his hand to cover his heart, struggling with pain on his face: "Later, that young master of the ghost sect took the initiative to find me."

Bai Lian nodded, and said: "There are not so many accidents in the world. Zheng Siyan is not a person who is passionate about eliminating demons and defending the way. He came to the Meng family for me."

As he said that, he fixed his eyes slightly, looked at Meng Zifei with complicated eyes and said, "And he asked you to cooperate, he should have seen your martial arts and Taoism."

Mencius smiled wryly: "As expected, you can see everything, Brother Baili, you are truly terrifying."

Bai Lian sighed: "I'm not scary, what's scary is people's hearts. Zheng Siyan promised that as long as he cooperates with him and leads me to the Meng Mansion, he will grant you a spiritual root, right?"

Mencius Fei's lips twitched, and he lowered his head sadly: "I didn't expect the price of obtaining the spiritual root to be so high."

"No." Bai Lian shook his head slowly, the quiet snowflakes brushed past his cheeks, and his jet-black hair was stained with a few feathery white snowflakes, making him seem to come from another world.

His gaze was still calm, without disappointment or indignation, he knew the truth of everything, but he was still able to tell the truth calmly.

"You knew the ending now from the very beginning, rather than saying that Zheng Siyan lured you into the game, it would be better to say that all of this was planned by you and him.

Otherwise, you wouldn't have said the last confession that didn't look like a confession to this Shang girl when you were dying.

Based on what you know about her, it's not difficult to guess how paranoid and crazy the merchant girl was when she was holding your cold body, she wanted to hear a complete confession from you. When a person is in an extreme mood, any crazy Moves you can't even imagine. "

Who would know that behind such a deep and unrepentant childhood sweetheart's desolate love, there are actually all kinds of calculations and conspiracies laid out.

Does Mencius not love Shang Ying?

Obviously not.

If not, he wouldn't be suffering as much as he is now.

He just... loves the solo road leading to longevity more.

It's just that such feelings hurt people the most!
In Meng Zifei's eyes, there seemed to be some thoughts that gradually collapsed under Bai Li'an's words.

He seems to be romantic all his life, but he loves only one person.

He seems transparent and open-minded, but he is full of lies.

In order to get what he wants, he can do whatever he can to hurt the person he loves the most, let alone Bai Lian, a nodding acquaintance who met by chance.

He is a ruthless person, ruthless to himself, and even more ruthless to those he loves!
The reason why he could completely trust that Bai Lian did not drive ghosts to kill people was because he knew the truth from the beginning to the end.

"Tomorrow, Su Guanhai, the suzerain of Taixuanzong, will come here." Bai Lian said lightly.

Mencius shuddered, and then smiled wryly: "Zheng Siyan wants you to be ruined and cast aside by all people, but in the end, it's me who was cast aside?"

Even though he knew that Bai Lian, who knew all the truth, had no evidence, to outsiders, all of this was just his conjecture.

As long as he refuses to admit it to death, the only person who will be suspected by everyone is Bai Li'an.

But he didn't believe that a young man with such a terrible mind would not have any perfect plan to show everything to him here.

He said at the beginning that he would give Shang Ying an explanation.

Such a plain but confident person, even in the deepest and most dangerous trap, can still be calm and calm.

Mencius said in defeat, "Brother Baili, do you want me to explain everything to everyone tomorrow?"

He couldn't imagine, after Shang Ying knew the truth, what kind of expression he should use to face her.

But who knows...

"It's not necessary." Bai Lian said so.

Mencius was astonished.

The snow fell more and more, and Bai Lian raised his head and patted the snowflakes on the top of his head. Even though he was counted over and over again, he still didn't show much emotion on his face.

The young man's tone was still gentle and gentle: "Even though this matter was not caused by me alone, Zheng Siyan came because of me after all.

As I said, I will give Miss Shang an explanation. She hopes you will be well, so you can take her spiritual roots and walk the path you chose well. "

"She wants me to be well..." Mencius murmured blankly and repeated this sentence.

This seemingly simple sentence hides another layer of meaning, and Mencius is extremely clever to understand that layer of meaning.

His slack eyes suddenly shrank sharply, his whole body bounced off the ground, his face twisted violently, as if thinking of an extremely terrifying possibility.

While shaking his head to express that this is impossible, he laughed hoarsely, as if he was insane: "It's impossible, it's impossible... In this world, there can't be such a stupid woman..."

If she knew...if she knew...

If only he knew everything!
Shouldn't you be chilling and disappointed in him?
How could he be willing to enter the game and give up everything for a scum like him!
With what kind of mentality did she smile gently at him?

The truth is like a poisonous venom, corroding his bones, almost making him unable to straighten up and breathe.

"It just so happens that such stupid people exist, and they are right in front of you."

Baili watched him frantically scratching his hair quietly, his tone was calm but inexplicably stern.

Mencius was stunned for a moment, his pupils shrank and enlarged violently under the disturbance of chaotic emotions.

Soon, the emotions in his eyes seemed to be hollowed out by life, and he became depressed, shrugging his shoulders.

He murmured as if he lost his soul: "Yeah...she is the person who understands me best in the world, and she is the only one who knows what I desire most. How can she not see through things that she can see through."

"She is waiting for an answer." Bai Lian looked at him with pity: "An answer for you to wake up after being reborn."

Meng Zifei's entire face was completely numb: "I like you... I said these four words in my heart thousands of times, but in the end I never said it to her personally."

When he was sober, he thought that his play was extremely perfect, and it surpassed everyone perfectly.

From the posture of a poor man, he defrauded his most desired gift from his beloved.

As everyone knows, the so-called immortality of immortality is not what she wants.

What he wanted, she gave him without hesitation.

And what she really wanted, he missed.

For a lifetime... I can't afford it anymore.

shall we get married?
This is what he said at the time, no liking, no love, but more like doing something wrong because of responsibility and trying to make up for it.

He could now imagine how sad and desperate Shang Ying felt when she heard these words.

Those who calculate will eventually bind themselves.

This is the cage from which he will never escape for the rest of his life.

The cage he set for himself.

Bai Lian reached out to pat the snow off his shoulders, and left in the wind and snow.

What should be said, he has said.

Just wait for tomorrow, the dawn will break.

……

……

　It's another night of throwing up, oh
