My Senior Brother Turned Black After I Died. Chapter 47

Chapter 47 Chapter 47 (two in one) Sacrifice for Love

Lou Yuxing knelt there, his fingers still maintaining the posture of pulling away the roots. Blood dripped down his fingertips and fell on the half-withered roots, spreading a small patch of dark color.

“Master…”

Song Mianbai did not respond.

Lou Yuxing stretched out his hand, wanting to touch the face that was so close.His fingertips were shaking so much that he could hardly control his movements. Just a simple movement like extending his hand seemed to have exhausted all his strength.

Just when Lou Yuxing’s fingertips were about to touch Song Mianbai’s cheek——

“Be careful!” Shen Lanchuan’s voice suddenly exploded.

The pure Jun sword turned into a piercing sword light, whizzed past Lou Yuxing’s ear, and struck half an inch from his side with a “ding” sound.

A root that was as thin as a hair and completely black broke with a snap, and liquid as thick as ink oozed out from the fracture. The moment it hit the ground, it corroded the grass on the ground into a sizzling black hole.

Lou Yuxing’s pupils shrank suddenly.He raised his head suddenly and discovered that the intertwined roots had begun to slowly squirm at some point.

Countless dark lines flow on the surface of the rhizome, like blood vessels of living creatures, and every time it squirms, it is accompanied by a disgusting odor escaping outward.

And those roots that have not yet completely blackened are slowly raising their tips from all directions, like countless venomous snakes ready to strike, surrounding the three of them.

“Be alert.” Shen Lanchuan’s voice was cold.

He didn’t look back. The Chunjun Sword was already in his hand. His wrist flew. The awe-inspiring sword intent spread out in all directions like a tide, forcing back the roots that were ready to move.

Ji Hantong brushed the snow out of her sheath and stood back to back with Shen Lanchuan.His eyes were fixed on the squirming roots, and he spoke very quickly: “Yuxinlan has absorbed too much foul energy in her body, and she is almost under control.”

As if to confirm Ji Hantong’s words, the jade heart orchid suddenly trembled violently.

Countless roots burst out at the same time, like thousands of arrows, shooting toward the three of them overwhelmingly with a strong stench.

“Broken!”

Shen Lanchuan shouted coldly, and the pure Jun sword struck in response.

The cold sword light swept across, and dozens of roots in the front row broke. The black liquid splashed at the break, but Shen Lanchuan shook it away with a wave of his hand.However, more roots have come from all directions, densely packed and layered, almost drowning the three of them.

Ji Hantong’s body was like a swimming dragon, and the snow-brushing sword turned into thousands of snow-white sword shadows, twisting into powder those thin roots that tried to get through the gaps.However, those roots are too numerous and dense, and as soon as one is cut off, more will come in, as if there is no end.

What’s even more frightening is that the severed roots are not dead.The black liquid that gushes out from the fracture fell to the ground and squirmed like a living thing, regrouping and forming new tiny roots that continued to twine towards the three of them.

*

After the fight started, Lou Yuxing had been protecting Song Mianbai, preventing those tentacles from touching Song Mianbai.

“Lou Yuxing!”

Ji Hantong’s voice struck his ears like thunder.Lou Yuxing looked over suddenly, and a root as black as ink had silently penetrated his back. The tip was as sharp as a spear, and it pierced the back of his heart with a strong odor.

There was no time to hide.

“Tsk——”

The sound of a sharp weapon piercing flesh was particularly clear.

Ji Hantong’s exclamation, Shen Lanchuan’s sword whistling, and the hissing sound of the roots squirming wildly all became distant and blurry at this moment.

Lou Yuxing lowered his head.

The jet-black roots were piercing into his chest, penetrating from the back and coming out from the front.The black tip stuck out of the body for an inch, and the thick black liquid poured into his wound along the roots and mixed with the bright red blood. It fell on Song Mian’s pale cheek drop by drop.

Lou Yuxing knelt on the ground and leaned forward, but he managed to hold on at the moment when he was about to press on Song Mianbai.He used his last bit of strength to grab the roots at his sides with his bloody hands, preventing his weight from falling on his master.

The blood is still flowing.

Drop after drop.

It fell on Song Mianbai’s closed eyelashes, on his chapped lips, and on his bloodless cheeks, spreading a small patch of dark red.

Lou Yuxing’s consciousness began to blur.

Everything in front of him was shaking. The wildly wriggling roots, Ji Hantong’s anxious face, and the light of Shen Lanchuan’s sword were all separated by a thick water curtain, making it difficult to see clearly.

He just wanted to take one more look…one more look at his master’s face.

So Lou Yuxing kept his eyes open and stared at the pale, almost lifeless face so close at hand.

Song Mianbai’s eyelashes trembled slightly.

Very light.As light as the ripples caused by the spring breeze blowing across the lake, it is fleeting.

But Lou Yuxing saw it.His eyes suddenly opened wide, and those scattered consciousness seemed to be jerked back by this tremor.Lou Yuxing stared at Song Mianbai’s eyelashes, forgetting to even breathe.

There was another tremor, this time more pronounced.

The eyes that had been closed for an unknown amount of time slowly opened a crack.

Song Mianbai’s eyelashes are very long, like two thin wings when they hang down.At this moment, the wings were gently raised, revealing the glass-like eyes underneath – still clear, still warm.

Those eyes moved slowly, as if they were recognizing something.

Lou Yuxing.

Song Mianbai’s lips moved slightly, as if he wanted to call out the name.But he was too weak, too weak to even do such a simple action.

Lou Yuxing is smiling.

It was clear that his whole body was shaking in pain, blood was obviously flowing all over the floor, and his face was as white as paper, but he was smiling.

The smile was soft and silly, with a sense of satisfaction of finally getting what he wanted.

“Master…” Lou Yuxing’s voice was as hoarse as sandpaper, “Great… you’re awake…”

Song Mianbai’s eyes suddenly turned red.He wanted to raise his hand, wanted to touch the face that was so close, wanted to stop the bleeding, and wanted to protect this person behind him just like he had protected that thin, lonely child many years ago.

But he couldn’t move.

“Ah…” Song Mianbai finally spoke.

“Master, please don’t talk… I’m fine…” Lou Yuxing twitched the corner of his mouth with difficulty, “I’m just… a little tired…”

The blood is still flowing.

The dark roots stopped squirming at some point.The roots that were attacking like crazy seemed to be frozen by something, one by one they were frozen in the air, their tips trembled slightly, as if they were afraid of something.

Ji Hantong noticed something strange.

He sheathed his sword and stood up, exchanging glances with Shen Lanchuan.The two slowly took half a step back, but their eyes were locked on Song Mianbai.

The roots were trembling, not because of fear, but as if they were suppressed by something.

“Master.” Lou Yuxing wanted to reach out, but found that he could no longer move.

“Ah…” Song Mianbai’s voice was still very soft, but much clearer than before, “Listen to me…”

“Master, don’t speak, I -”

“Listen to me.” Song Mianbai interrupted him.

His gaze crossed Lou Yuxing and landed on Shen Lanchuan and Ji Hantong.There was an apologetic smile in those eyes.

“Mingshu, Yuheng…I’m sorry…for dragging you down.”

Shen Lanchuan said nothing.He just tightened his grip on the sword.

Ji Hantong took a step forward and said in a sharp voice: “Sect Leader Song, what’s going on? This Jade Heart Orchid——”

“It’s me.” Song Mianbai’s voice was as calm as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him, “Yuxinlan… it’s me.”

Ji Hantong was stunned.

He suddenly turned his head to look at the huge spiritual plant that blocked the sky and the sun, and then looked at Song Mianbai’s pale face.

Is Yuxinlan Song Mianbai?

“I am Yu Xinlan who unexpectedly transformed from the depths of Qingyun Mountain,” Song Mianbai’s voice was broken, and every word seemed to be using up his last strength, “Back then…Master accepted me as his disciple…and passed me on as the sect leader…”

“He let me live… let me practice… let me… absorb the filth here…”

Song Mianbai closed his eyes and seemed to be gathering the strength to speak.When he opened them again, there was peace in those eyes.

“These foul odors cannot be driven away, and all creatures contaminated by it will lose their minds. But the jade heart orchid is a holy medicine, not to mention that I am the only ten thousand year old jade heart orchid that has transformed in the world.”

“I can absorb the foul odors and suppress them firmly in my body. Now that all the foul odors in the secret realm of Longyuan have been absorbed by me, as long as I am killed, there will be no more foul odors here.”

“Master said that this is the best way to solve the dilemma in Longyuan Secret Realm,” Song Mianbai smiled bitterly, “After he transformed himself, he took me under his disciples and taught me carefully. He told me that people in Qingyun Mountain should sacrifice themselves for the people, and trained me into a perfect ‘righteous monk’, and then told me the truth of the matter.”

“He has indeed fulfilled the purpose of Qingyun Mountain in his life and dedicated himself to the righteousness of the world. He has indeed trained me to be a qualified leader of Qingyun Mountain. It is expected that I will not abandon the common people of the world.”

“Ah, I really want to spend more time with you… It was my bet to let you go out to auction the jade heart orchid. If I could absorb a jade heart orchid of the same kind, I might be able to survive for a few more years and stay with you for a few more years. Unfortunately, my bet failed. The foul smell eroded my body too fast.” Song Mianbai looked at Lou Yuxing lovingly, “I don’t have time anymore. The foul smell here can no longer be suppressed. Kill me, okay?”

“I would rather die in your hands than anyone else.”

Lou Yuxing froze.

He was kneeling there, his chest still bleeding, but the pain suddenly became distant and vague.He stared blankly at Song Mianbai, looking at that face that was so calm that it was almost cruel.

“Master…” His voice was trembling, “What are you talking about… You can’t be so cruel, you clearly know that I like you.”

Song Mianbai didn’t look at him.

He looked at the branches and leaves that blocked the sky and the black lines that were being sucked out of his body, his eyes as gentle as if he were looking at an old friend.

“I have lived too tiredly for too long, Ayu,” his voice was very soft, “I have almost forgotten who I am…”

“But I still remember the day I took you back to the mountain. You were thin and small, covered in injuries, but your eyes were so bright.”

“Actually, I also regret it. Such a good child should live a good life and shouldn’t be dragged down by this, but… who said that I have dragged you into the water? Just think of it as my last bit of selfishness.”

His eyes finally fell back on Lou Yuxing’s face.Those eyes were filled with affection that Lou Yuxing had never seen before.

“Ah… kill me.”

Lou Yuxing trembled all over.

“No…”

“Kill me.” Song Mianbai repeated, his voice as calm as if he was saying that the weather is nice today, “While I’m still awake… while those filthy odors can still be suppressed by me.”

“This is my mission, your mission, and Qingyun Mountain’s mission.”

“No!!!”

Lou Yuxing roared.He used his last bit of strength to rush forward and leaned over Song Mianbai. Tears mixed with blood fell on Song Mianbai’s pale face.

“Master! You can’t do this! You can’t-”

“Why! Why should you bear this! Why should you die! Why should those old people! Why should you!!”

His voice was so hoarse that it was almost broken, like a dying animal giving out its last scream.

Song Mianbai did not answer.

But a leaf gently covered the back of Lou Yuxing’s head.

Very light.Very gentle.

Just like when he brushed off the blood and dirt on Lou Yuxing’s face in the refugee camp many years ago.

“Ah…” Song Mianbai’s voice was as soft as a sigh, “I know you will be obedient.”

“Because I am also a qualified master. Just like me back then, you will not tolerate such a monster remaining in the world.”

*

Song Mian died in vain.

Lou Yuxing also died.

Song Mianbai knew Lou Yuxing very well, and he knew that Lou Yuxing would definitely kill him.

But he didn’t know Lou Yuxing either. He didn’t know that Lou Yuxing did not obey Song Mianbai’s wishes for him to live well, but died in love after killing Song Mianbai.

The black jade heart orchid soon lost its vitality and gradually withered.

Lou Yuxing’s body lay on the withered branches and leaves, tightly clutching a small branch.

Ji Hantong stared at the scene in front of him blankly, something seemed to cross his cheek.He raised his hand to brush it away, and it was cold.

“Brother, why am I crying?” Ji Hantong looked at the tears on his hands and murmured.

Ji Hantong didn’t know why he was crying.

Lou Yuxing only knew him for a few days.The young man who comforted him with gentle words at the auction, the Qingyun Mountain disciple who risked his life to protect him in danger, the disciple who grabbed the ground with his head in front of the master’s coffin and screamed hoarse –

He had no close friendship with him.

But at this moment, looking at the two figures crouching among the withered branches and leaves, and looking at Lou Yuxing’s hand tightly grasping the small branch and leaf, Ji Hantong’s chest seemed to be tightly grasped by something, making him unable to breathe.

“Host.” System 0621’s voice sounded in his mind, which was unusually low. “This is a normal emotional reaction. You don’t need to pay too much attention to it.”

Ji Hantong didn’t answer.

He stood there, looking at the two figures, looking at the jade heart orchid branches and leaves that were withering, breaking, and turning into fly ash, his throat tightened.

Ji Hantong thought of his mission again.

If you die one day, will your senior brother also do something stupid?

He suppressed the thought as soon as it emerged, but he couldn’t suppress the sour emotion.

No…it’s impossible. Senior brother and Lou Yuxing are still different. We are just senior brothers, so it shouldn’t be the case.

Ji Hantong couldn’t help but turn his head to look at Shen Lanchuan.

Shen Lanchuan stood beside him, his face still stern, his thin lips pressed into a straight line.He did not speak, but quietly looked at the disappearing Jade Heart Orchid, and at the two figures that were no longer moving.

He didn’t make a sound, didn’t move, didn’t even show too much emotion.

But Ji Hantong knew it.

Senior brother is also sad.

“Senior brother.” Ji Hantong called softly.

Shen Lanchuan turned to look at him.

Those eyes that had always been cold were in a daze for a moment.

“Yeah.” Shen Lanchuan responded, his voice a little hoarse.

He didn’t say much.He just stretched out his hand and gently took Ji Hantong into his arms.

His movements were very light and steady, as if he was afraid of disturbing something.

Ji Hantong didn’t struggle.He buried his face into Shen Lanchuan’s shoulder, smelling the familiar scent and feeling the body heat coming through the fabric of his clothes.

Ji Hantong suddenly spoke, his voice was very soft and slightly hoarse: “Senior brother, you said Lou Yuxing…why did he do that?”

Shen Lanchuan did not answer immediately.

He was silent for a long time, so long that Ji Hantong thought he wouldn’t answer.

Then Ji Hantong heard Shen Lanchuan’s voice coming from above his head: “He cares too much.”

Ji Hantong was silent.

“0621, I regret it.”

He regretted agreeing to this task, regretted coming to this world, regretted meeting Shen Lanchuan, regretted spending more than four hundred years together day and night, and regretted letting his senior brother treat him so well.

Without him, senior brother would still be the cold, taciturn, solitary Mingshu Immortal.I will not be moved by anyone, nor will I lose control of myself for anyone.

But it’s too late to say anything now.

Bits and pieces of more than four hundred years have tied the two of them together, and they are so tied that they cannot be untied.And he has no ability to resist the mission. If he does not complete the mission, the world will collapse, and Shen Lanchuan will not be in good shape either.

*

A door suddenly lit up next to the two of them.

On the other side of the door is a familiar, normal world.

Ji Hantong was stunned for a moment, and then realized that this was the exit of Longyuan Secret Realm.

He looked at Shen Lanchuan, who nodded slightly, took Ji Hantong’s hand, and finally looked back at the two figures crouching among the withered branches and leaves, and then stepped into the door.

Staying here may be the best destination. The two of them will definitely not want to go back to Qingyun Mountain again.

A light flashed before his eyes.The next moment, the familiar world rushed towards me.

Shen Lanchuan and Ji Hantong were standing in an open space at the back of Qingyun Mountain. Not far away was the familiar Tingzhu Garden.It was already bright, the sun was hanging high above our heads, it was around noon.

But Ji Hantong didn’t have time to feel the warmth of the sun.

Because when he looked up, he saw the scene in the sky.

The picture covered the entire sky, from east to west, from south to north, covering everything in sight.The picture quality is so clear that it’s almost cruel, every frame is detailed——

He saw the two figures crouching among the withered branches and leaves, tightly leaning on each other. Lou Yuxing’s hand was holding on to a small branch until his death.

Ji Hantong froze on the spot, and the blood all over his body seemed to freeze for an instant.He suddenly turned his head to look at Shen Lanchuan.

Shen Lanchuan’s face was still stern, but his eyes were fixed on the scene in the sky, his jaw was tense and his knuckles turned white.

They’re not the only ones seeing this.

The entire Qingyun Mountain, no, the entire cultivation world is watching.

There was dead silence.

Then, Ji Hantong heard footsteps.He raised his head and followed the sound.

Mo Wuyi was walking slowly from the direction of Tingzhuyuan.He was still wearing the black cloak, and the brim of the hat was lowered, covering most of his face.His steps were still steady, but Ji Hantong always felt that his steps were heavier than usual.

Mo Wuyi walked to and stood in front of the two of them.

“Did you see it?” Mo Wuyi said with a calm voice.

Shen Lanchuan looked at him: “Your handwriting?”

Mo Wuyi did not deny it.He nodded slightly and looked past them to a certain direction in the sky, where the scene had completely dissipated, leaving only a clear blue sky.

“The Lan Yue Sect has a secret method,” Mo Wuyi said, “which can project everything that happens in a space onto the outside sky. From what you have experienced since entering the Lan Yue secret realm, the entire world of cultivation has seen it.”

Ji Hantong looked at him blankly.

Mo Wuyi withdrew his gaze and landed on the faces of Ji Hantong and Shen Lanchuan, with apologetic eyes.

“I’m sorry, I didn’t have time to tell you in advance.”

Ji Hantong wanted to say “It’s okay”, but his throat seemed to be blocked by something and he couldn’t say a word.

He suddenly understood why Mo Wuyi did not enter the Longyuan Secret Realm with them, and understood why he said “I have other arrangements to make.”

Mo Wuyi broadcast everything live.

Lou Yuxing’s obsession, Song Mianbai’s sacrifice, and the truth that had been buried for countless years were all revealed to the world.

This is indeed the simplest, most intuitive and effective method.Can you say he was wrong?Mo Wuyi just wanted to let the world of cultivation know about this.

But Ji Hantong still felt very uncomfortable.

“Now,” Mo Wuyi spoke slowly, his voice still calm, but with an indescribable heaviness, “everyone in the world knows about the filthy thing.”

He took out a jade slip from his sleeve and handed it to Shen Lanchuan.

“The Immortal Alliance just sent a message. A meeting between the six major sects and the Immortal Alliance is going to be convened. Please come over.”

Shen Lanchuan took the jade slip and Ji Hantong went over to look at it.

There are not many words on the jade slip:

“The presence of filth is a matter of life and death for the world. Please invite the heads of the six major sects, the sect heads of the Immortal Alliance, and the deacons from all regions to gather in Lingxi Hall three days later to discuss important matters.”

The signature is Xu Jin’an, the leader of the Immortal Alliance.

When the news came, Mo Wuyi turned and left.

The black cloak was gently billowing in the wind, and his back was slightly bleak.

Ji Hantong looked at his back and suddenly said: “Sect Leader Mo.”

Mo Wuyi paused slightly and did not look back.

“Are you… okay?”

Mo Wuyi was silent for a moment.

Then he laughed softly, as softly as a sigh.

“I’m fine,” he said.

Ji Hantong thought of the pendant made of fox fur on Mo Wuyi’s waist.

I thought of Xiao Mengjue; I thought of Su Xin’s secret realm; I thought of what Mo Wuyi said – “The Holy Stone chose Xiao Mengjue, but I don’t want him to die.”

He didn’t understand it at the time, but after experiencing the incident between Song Mianbai and Lou Yuxing, he suddenly understood the relationship between Mo Wuyi and Xiao Mengjue.

“Senior brother, I want to go back to Taixuan Dao Sect, back to Cangwu Peak.”

The author has something to say: The two pairs of deputy CPs that I originally thought of were both BE, which paved the way for Xiaomu’s enlightenment. When I was writing about Mo Wuyi and Xiao Mengjue, I couldn’t bear to change them to HE.But no matter how I think about Song Mianbai and Lou Yuxing, I still think BE is better.But it’s actually considered HE, right?Double death means HE![biting handkerchief]
