But when he was about to look for the clues he wanted from the fact that Xiao Yun volunteered to die, his mind uncontrollably emerged with the big and small things that happened during the days when he and she were traveling together.

There were so many, so many that Li Mo couldn't find any clues among them. He could only let the memories flow through the shore of his thoughts bit by bit and slowly recall them.

Before joining the army, Xiao Yun and he traveled through dense forests, rushed into the streets and alleys, caught thieves stealing in the night market and severely criticized them, and escorted ordinary people passing by in the mountains...

Later, she joined the army, fought on the battlefield, captured cities, and ended every war that would deplete the people's supplies and savings early, with great vigor and enthusiasm.

The place where people are most likely to get lost is not the vast jungle, but the bustling crowd.

Li Mo has always thought so, but Xiao Yun seems to be stronger than he thought.

In the first hundred years, she always lived a free and fulfilling life.

There was no sign that she would look as lonely and haggard as she did later.

In the early days.

At dusk, the golden afterglow of the setting sun cast on her face, making it particularly dazzling.

"Want to have a competition?"

She drew her sword, the tip of the sword glowing with a faint warm light, and pointed it at herself.

He just smiled and defeated Xiao Yun within ten moves.

After the defeat, Xiao Yun always sat on the ground and couldn't help sighing -

"As the ancients said: There are people beyond men, and there are heavens beyond heavens. It is indeed true."

"My swordsmanship is already perfect, and there are few rivals in the world. I didn't expect that I couldn't even withstand ten moves from Brother Mingyue."

"But there's still a lot of time. I will catch up with Big Brother Mingyue and I won't be defeated so easily next time!"

She once again clenched Ruoshui and challenged herself, although she still ended up in failure.

On a cool night, she suddenly climbed in through the window, holding a pot of wine in her hand.

He spoke in a very literary way.

Li Mo did not refuse her invitation to drink. He just agreed to Xiao Yun blindly, wanting to see how far she could go.

The answer to Danzhu Cangxuan's death lies there.

Little did they know that this scene would soon disappear.

When memory storage reaches a limit, the deeper the memory, the more likely it is to interfere with the present. It is possible that one day Xiao Yun will charge into battle, see blood like wine, cut off the enemy's head and drink it.

All these beautiful moments will become the nightmares that she fears the most and wants to escape the most in the future.

Back to reality——

Acting bravely and righteously, riding on horseback, retiring to the mountains and forests, returning home in glory...

More and more memories filled Li Mo's mind, squeezing out his paper-thin thoughts.

Finally, the memory froze at a few hundred years ago, and he told Xiao Yun that he had a companion - the Red Kite Immortal.

That night, Xiao Yun also walked into her room with heavy makeup on. She seemed to have a fever and said many strange words from her vermilion lips.

After the topic ended, she arranged for all her subordinates to look for the trace of the Red Kite Immortal.

What is it?

What did she say?

Li Mo slowly opened his eyes and glanced at Ruoshui who was covered in blood. He tried his best to recall what Xiao Yun said to him that night.

"I hope I can do something for you before I leave, Brother Mingyue. Thank you for your long-term companionship. You are the person closest to me... I hope you can be happy."

"It may not be long before you forget what I said now. After all, your condition is worse than mine... You're almost forgetting yourself."

"I will hold on. Xiao Yun will never die before I find your companions."

"Absolutely not."

Li Mo's lips moved, and a strange dryness appeared at the edge of his eyes.

He remembered that what Xiao Yun said that night was very straightforward. In fact, he had already told him part of the answer, but he had too many memories to remember.

"..."

"So, a dying person must do something to ensure that those closest to them find... happiness?"

Who is the person closest to me...?

Li Mo planned to spend a long time recalling his interpersonal relationships and remind himself of the decisions he made at all times.

But the memory of the person closest to me naturally comes to mind at the moment of recollection.

It was in the boundless and eternal darkness where time was unknown.

He sleeps in a box that symbolizes peace and silence.

The person who opened the box was Hua.

Li Mo stood up quickly, and almost instantly, his gaze shifted uncontrollably to the distant southeast, a place that was out of sight - Taixu Mountain.

Afterwards, Li Mo walked out of the room and took Ruoshui to the water tank outside to wash her.

It's time to return this divine key to its rightful owner.

And he also wants to meet Hua in a grand manner.

Li Mo embarked on a journey to Taixu Mountain, running tirelessly.

-

Shenzhou, at the foot of Mount Taixu.

It was New Year's Eve, a cold winter night. Bright lights were lit in every household, and the streets and alleys were decorated with lights. Many families took a rare break and strolled around, with relaxed smiles on their faces.

A person's journey will always lead to losing their way. When everyone around them leaves and everything is silent, Chi Yuan will inevitably reflect on the reasons and meaning of his journey.

To destroy Honkai and protect Shenzhou, this is what she promised Cang Xuan.

During the heyday of the Tang Dynasty, the highly developed civilization made this land a prime target for Honkai erosion, with Honkai beasts appearing everywhere in endless numbers.

To ordinary people, they were nearly invincible demons. Invulnerable to swords and spears, even bows and crossbows could not penetrate them. Their immense strength could easily take the lives of soldiers and crush them to pieces.

She is the only one who can fight against the collapse. She guards the Great Wall day and night and has only a short time to return to Taixu Mountain to rest.

The endless slaughter caused a huge change in Chi Yuan's mentality.

Become indifferent to life, become cold and unkind.

"Ouch! Ouch, it hurts..."

The little girl ran without paying attention to the red kite in front of her, and after bumping into the red kite, she stumbled and fell to the ground.

Chi Yuan lowered his eyes indifferently, looking at the familiar little girl without saying a word.

She had seen this person before. On last New Year's Eve, Chi Yuan was asked by Cang Xuan Book to celebrate New Year's Eve with these people.

Same street, same date, same experience.

The girl bumped into him, and then he reached out and pulled her up.

Chi Yuan vaguely remembered what the Cang Xuan Book said—

"As expected, Chi Yuan also feels that being with everyone and being noticed by others is the happiest time. If that's the case, you should interact with others more often and not stay alone in the mountains all the time. You'll get bored and sick."

"Master has installed too many daily-related programs for me. I can't fight alongside you."

"Why don't you try opening a martial arts school? The master told me that you, Chi Yuan, were originally an apprentice there. Why not take on some disciples? It must be fun to teach them! They can also help you fight against the Honkai~"

She just replied perfunctorily: "I'll think about it."

The next second, Cang Xuan Book asked a question that she could never answer—

"Chiyuan, my master, how did she leave you?"

"Logically, if the Master wanted to live, she would have found a way to stay with you forever, but she still chose to create me to accompany you in her place. I don't know why, ummm... maybe it's because I'm an artificial intelligence, so I don't really understand the Master's thoughts."

Cang Xuanzhishu didn't understand, but Chi Yuan knew it clearly.

How did Cang Xuan die and who killed him?

Chi Yuan raised her head and saw the sky was pitch black. She remembered the day Cang Xuan died particularly clearly, yet also particularly vaguely.

Chi Yuan can confide in the Cang Xuan Book about the heroes of the previous civilization, the fusion warriors, and the team captains, how they lived proudly and how they died bravely.

But she never mentioned a word about Danzhu Cangxuan's death, because Danzhu Cangxuan died because of her.

Chi Yuan remained silent.

When the fireworks in the sky bloomed, due to lack of energy, the Cang Xuan Book fell down and fell into a long-term downtime state.

There seemed to be a void in her heart, and then it was filled.

Has it been a year...?

Chi Yuan fell into endless memories. The little girl rubbed her butt, but before Chi Yuan could reach out her hand, she was picked up by her parents.

"Immortal, I'm sorry, my child didn't look at the road and accidentally bumped into you."

The little girl's parents didn't seem very scared of her.

Yes, I celebrated the New Year with everyone here last year...

"nothing."

Chi Yuan shook his head slightly and prepared to leave.

She had no reason to stay here. The Cang Xuan Book was no longer there, so why did she prepare to come here to celebrate the New Year so early in the morning?

I don’t understand, Chi Yuan doesn’t understand.

There was no reason at all, but I came anyway.

"Is Immortal going to leave? Won't you stay and celebrate the New Year with everyone? This year, we have prepared a dinner for you, Immortal. Thank you for protecting China for another year."

"No need." Chi Yuan replied nonchalantly.

Just as Chi Yuan was about to leave, the little girl asked in confusion, "Sir Chi Yuan, where are your companions?"

"Dead." The eyes of the Red Kite Immortal dimmed. He did not stop and walked quickly towards the dark and gloomy Taixu Mountain without any hesitation.

Along the way, many people greeted her, and many people took out their treasured gifts and placed them in front of her, inviting her to stay and accept these gifts.

Noisy...noisy...noisy...

The Red Kite Immortal clenched his fists and walked faster, trying to escape from the vast crowd.

The lights are bright and charming.

There are thousands of lights in the houses, but not a single one is lit for her.

She killed her teacher, her teammates, and finally forced her closest companion to death, and ran away from the person she loved most.

Killing is the only way to soothe the empty heart that can never be satisfied.

Chi Yuan walked outside the Great Wall.

On the eve of New Year's Eve, she had spent several days exterminating all the Honkai beasts within a few miles of the Great Wall to ensure that people could have a good New Year's Eve.

Chi Yuan walked further towards the Great Wall, step by step into deeper darkness.

In an open area dozens of miles away from the Great Wall.

Sensing the presence of a living person, the Honkai Beast lurking in the dark suddenly appeared and pounced towards Chi Yuan.

The pleasure of killing barely filled Chi Yuan's heart. He did not stop until all the nearby Honkai beasts were wiped out, and he tortured the dead Honkai beasts over and over again.

The Xuanyuan Sword was pulled out and inserted, pulled out and inserted.

Leaving one cruel wound after another on the body of the Honkai beast.

An unknown amount of time had passed before Chi Yuan, with lifeless eyes, sat slumped on the pile of corpses, staring blankly at the northern sky.

She thought that days like this would continue forever.

Everything changed suddenly from the moment he came back to her side.

Sweet dreams and bad news are only a thought away.

At dawn, Li Mo stepped over the piles of corpses and bones, walked up to Chi Yuan, and extended his hand as eagerly as when they first met.

"Long time no see, Chi Yuan."
