The Husky and His White Cat Shizun - Chap 100
Mo Ran was terrified.
In his life, he had only seen Chu Wanning’s Nine Songs once, during the life and death battle. Chu Wanning had summoned the ancient zither Nine Songs, and the sound of the zither had broken through the air and entered the clouds.
The living monsters, strange beasts, and birds that were controlled by the exquisite chess game were recalled by the Nine Songs. With one song, Mo Ran’s millions of chess pieces were thrown into chaos.
But summoning the Divine Martial required the activation of the spirit nucleus, which consumed a large amount of spiritual energy.
Chu Wanning could not even summon back his usual Heaven’s Inquisition, so how could he suddenly summon the “Nine Songs” that was even more powerful than Heaven’s Inquisition?
The fierce battle on the Heavenly Lake was not inferior to the life-or-death battle between the master and disciple back then.
But Mo Ran could not remember so many details. After this bloody battle, there was finally no one by his side that he could talk to.
In fact, when Mo Ran died in his previous life, he did not understand why Chu Wanning could use his own soul to summon the Nine Songs.
This was a connection that no Divine Martial would have with its master, but Chu Wanning did it.
On that day, the exquisite chess pieces made by Mo Ran were shattered into dust by the zither music. The power of the Nine Songs was purer and more powerful than the first time he saw it. It was so powerful that he even suspected that Chu Wanning’s spirit nucleus was not broken at all. For so many years, it was Chu Wanning who was pretending, enduring humiliation, and wanting to avenge his shame.
Later on, he could not help but think that if it was really like this, then it would be good. If Chu Wanning was really pretending, then maybe things would not have reached that final step.
How good would that be.
The Nine Songs destroyed Mo Ran’s forbidden technique, causing the cultivators who were in the middle of killing each other to suddenly wake up. It even broke the ice pillars that imprisoned Xue Meng and Mei Hanxue.
Mo Ran flew into the clouds, his robes fluttering in the wind. His eyes were filled with both anger and joy. He wanted to see just how many more shocking moves Chu Wanning had yet to use.
He stepped on the top of the barrier and walked closer, standing in front of Chu Wanning.
He saw the pair of pale and slender hands slow down and stroke the strings of the Nine Songs Guqin. The sound of the guqin stopped.
Chu Wanning raised his head. His face was as white as snow under the sun.
He said, “Mo Ran. Come here. ”
For some reason, he walked over to him.
Chu Wanning’s finger moved slightly, and a few jade-green rays of light flew towards Mo Ran’s chest. Mo Ran was shocked, he thought that Chu Wanning was going to kill him.
However, that brilliance was neither painful nor itchy. It lingered in front of his chest and slowly seeped into his skin. It was actually indescribably warm.
“The sword that Xue Meng injured you, I healed it for you.” Chu Wanning sighed softly, “Let him go, Mo Ran. If he is no longer here, if you want to find someone to talk about the past, who can you find … …”
Before Mo Ran could react to what he meant, the powerful barrier beneath his feet suddenly disappeared. Along with it, the Nine Songs Guqin that Chu Wanning had summoned also disappeared.
He immediately raised his hand to summon the Modao Does Not Return, only then did he stand in the clouds. However, Chu Wanning fell down like a fallen leaf, as if that song just now had used up the last of his strength.
“Wanning!”
His expression suddenly changed. He flew down with his sword, and before that person was about to fall into the ice-cold Heaven Lake, he grabbed him into his arms.
“Chu Wanning! You — — you … … ”
Chu Wanning closed his eyes. Blood kept flowing out of his mouth, nose, eyes, and ears.
Dignity was extremely important to him. Even if he was imprisoned in the Shaman Mountain Palace, he still did not bend his spine. He rarely embarrassed himself. However, right now, he was bleeding from all seven of his orifices. His usually upright and elegant appearance was now in such a sorry state.
Chu Wanning swallowed a mouthful of blood and said hoarsely, “You said … … that life and death is not up to me … … But look, Mo Ran … … You still underestimated your teacher. If I was determined to leave, even if you tried to stop … … you would not be able to stop me … …”
“… … Teacher … …” Mo Ran looked at him. He felt a chill in his heart. His scalp was numb. He was actually at a loss as to what to do as he shouted.
Chu Wanning laughed. His expression seemed to be somewhat happy, “Originally, I had been living like this because I was a little unwilling. I always wanted to accompany you for a few more years so that I could teach you … … not to commit more sins … … But now … … Now … …”
Mo Ran trembled. He held the person in his arms. He suddenly felt very scared.
Scared.
This emotion did not belong to him for more than ten years. Now, it suddenly attacked him. It was so strong that it almost dug out his heart.
“But now, I know that only my death can make you … … not do evil anymore … …”
When he said this, he seemed to be in extreme pain. Forcefully summoning Jiu Ge was too much for his body to handle. Some of his organs were broken again. Blood gushed out of his mouth. Mo Ran held him and landed beside the Heavenly Lake. His expression was crazed and painful. He kept sending spiritual energy into Chu Wansheng’s chest.
However, when that powerful energy entered Chu Wanning’s body, it was like a clay ox entering the sea. It did not return.
Mo Ran was really panicking. The Emperor Ta hugged the person in his arms tightly. He failed again and again, but he tried again and again to give him some spiritual energy.
“It’s useless … … Mo Ran, I used my life to summon Jiu Ge. My life and death have been decided. If … … you still have some sense in your heart … … please … … let me go … …”
Let go of who?
Xue Meng? Mei Hanxue?
Kunlun’s Treading in Snow Palace? Or the entire cultivation world?
Yes, yes … … he could let them go! As long as Chu Wanning lived, as long as this person he hated so much didn’t die like this.
Chu Wanning raised his trembling hand. His cold fingertips seemed to be sympathetic, but also seemed to be intimate. He gently tapped Mo Ran’s forehead.
He said, “Please … … let go … let go of yourself … …”
The ferocious look on Mo Ran’s face froze in an instant.
Let go of who … …
Who was he thinking about before he died?
Let go of … … yourself … …
Was that what he said?
The Emperor Ta hugged him. He seemed to be at a loss. He seemed to be happy. He seemed to be in great pain. He seemed to be satisfied.
“Let go of myself? Your last wish is for me to let go of myself? ”
Mo Ran muttered. His eyes were bloodshot. He suddenly laughed out loud. That laughter was like a fierce fire. It penetrated the clouds and burned away all reason and consciousness.
“Hahaha — — Hahahahaha — — Let go of myself? Chu Wanning, you’re crazier than me! You’re so naive — — Hahahahaha — — ”
The entire Kunlun Mountain reverberated with his disgusting and mocking laughter. It was twisted, unrecognizable, and chilling.
Chu Wanning swallowed the blood in Mo Ran’s crazy laughter. If he still had strength, his expression would be extremely painful. But he didn’t even have the strength to frown. Only his pair of phoenix eyes … … those phoenix eyes that used to be sharp, resolute, stern, or gentle, were filled with sorrow.
They were as pure as the snow in the heavenly lake. They were hazy like frost on the roof tiles.
Chu Wanning’s eyes gradually lost focus. Her eyes, which had once been as bright as lightning, gradually lost focus. She could no longer see anything clearly.
In the end, he said softly to Mo Ran, “Don’t laugh. Seeing you like this makes my heart very sad … …”
“… …”
“Mo Ran, in this life, no matter what happens in the end … … I didn’t teach you well at the beginning. I said you were inferior and difficult to cultivate … … I mistreated you. I won’t blame you in life or death … …” Chu Wanning’s pale face didn’t have any color. His lips were pale. He tried to look up and look at Mo Ran’s face. He opened his eyes. He wanted to cry, but what slowly flowed out of his eyes was blood. It flowed down his cheeks.
Chu Wanning cried. He said, “But you … … really hate me that much … … until the end … … you’re not even willing to give me a moment of peace … …”
“Mo Ran … … Mo Ran … … don’t be like this. Wake up. Turn back … … turn back … …”
Wake up … …
He wanted him to wake up, but he opened his eyes blankly and fell asleep just like that.
Mo Ran couldn’t believe it. He didn’t want to believe that Chu Wanning had died just like that.
A Grandmaster of a generation, a high mountain to look up to. His own teacher, the person he hated so much, had died just like that.
Lying in his arms, beside the blood soaked Heaven Mountain Heavenly Lake.
Bit by bit, the cold turned into frost and snow, condensing into ice.
Chu Wanning’s face was full of blood. Mo Ran lowered his head and looked at it for a while. He raised his sleeves and tried to wipe it clean.
But there was too much blood. The more he wiped, the dirtier that originally cold and clean face became. Mo Ran pursed his lips and wiped them with all his might.
But what he got was a face mottled with blood.
His facial features couldn’t be seen clearly anymore.
He finally stopped laughing.
He closed his eyes and said softly, “This time you’ve won, Chu Wanning. I can’t stop you from dying. ”
After a pause, he opened his eyes again. They seemed dark and cold, but they burned with the fire of the abyss.
He said, “But you underestimate me too much. If you don’t want to live, I can’t stop you. But if I don’t want you to die, you can’t stop me either. ”
Mo Ran didn’t announce Chu Wanning’s life or death. He brought him back to the peak of life and death.
At that time, he already had the ability to reach the heavens. He could guarantee that the corpse would never wither. He placed Chu Wanning’s body in the Red Lotus Pavilion. He forced Chu Wanning to ‘live’ like this.
It was too difficult for him to admit that he killed the last person in the world who cared about him.
As long as Chu Wanning’s body didn’t turn into ashes, as long as he could still see him every day.
He could feel that Chu Wanning was not dead.
His crazy hatred, his twisted love, there was still a place where he could vent, a place where he could entrust himself.
The Celestial Treading Monarch had finally gone completely mad.
After Chu Wanning left, he went to the Red Lotus Pavilion every day to see his body. In the beginning, his eyes flashed with a vicious light. He cursed in front of the body. He said, “Chu Wanning, you deserve it.”
“You saved everyone in the world, but not me. You hypocrite.”
“What kind of master are you? I was blind to have you as my master! Bastard! ”
Later, he would ask every day, “Why did you sleep for so long? When are you going to wake up? ”
“I’ve already let go of Xue Meng. You’re almost done. Get up.”
Every time he said this, the servants by his side thought that he had lost his mind, that he was crazy.
His wife, Song Qiutong, also thought that he was crazy. She was very scared, so after a rare pleasure, she said to him, “Mo Ran, the dead can’t come back to life. I know you’re sad, but you …”
“Who’s sad?”
“… …”
Song Qiutong was very good at reading people’s expressions. These years, she was very careful around Mo Ran. Seeing his unkind expression, she immediately shut up and lowered her eyes. “I was wrong.”
“Don’t.” Mo Ran did not let her go easily this time. He narrowed his eyes. “You spat out the words, why did you swallow them? Tell me, who’s sad? ”
“Your Majesty … …”
Mo Ran’s black eyes were filled with thunder. He suddenly sat up and grabbed Qiutong’s slender neck. He picked up the woman who was touching him with one hand and threw her off the bed.
His face changed, becoming a vicious face of a wolf, a tiger, and a leopard.
“What do you mean by the dead can’t come back to life? Who’s dead? Who’s going to come back to life? ” Mo Ran gritted his teeth. “No one died, no one wants to come back to life, and no one is sad!”
Song Qiutong’s lips trembled. She wanted to struggle, but just as she said, “Red Lotus Pavilion … …”, Mo Ran’s eyes turned red. He was furious.
“There’s only one unconscious Chu Wanning in the Red Lotus Pavilion. What are you trying to say! What are you trying to tell me?! Evil creature! ”
Song Qiutong saw that Mo Ran had lost control of his anger. Her heart trembled. She did not know what crazy thing he would do if this continued. She threw caution to the wind and raised her voice. “Your Majesty, the one lying in the Red Lotus Pavilion is a dead person. You spend your days here, so how can I not be worried?”
She said it cleverly. In order to not let Mo Ran blame her, she even said that her selfish desire was out of concern for Mo Ran.
Mo Ran stared at her. His breathing gradually stabilized. It seemed that he had more or less listened to her. He no longer shouted at her.
After a while, he said, “I’ve made you worry.”
Song Qiutong let out a sigh of relief. “For Your Majesty’s good health, I can disregard life and death. Your Majesty is very affectionate, but you shouldn’t be so depressed. ”
“Then what do you think I should do?”
“I said too much for Your Majesty’s good. In my opinion, one day Chu … … Grandmaster Chu should be buried … … He’s no longer here. If his body is left empty like this, it will only make Your Majesty feel more pain. ”
“What else? You haven’t said everything. Why don’t you say it all today? ”
Song Qiutong saw that his expression was gradually relaxing. She felt slightly relieved.
She lowered her half-closed eyes and slightly tilted her head. She knew that her appearance was most similar to Shi Mingjing’s.
She firmly believed that Shi Mingjing was Mo Weiyu’s weak spot. Although she didn’t understand why she couldn’t arouse Mo Ran’s interest even though she meticulously embellished and imitated Shi Mingjing’s appearance.
Although this unpredictable man liked her company, ever since they got married, unless he was extremely depressed or drunk, he would never touch her. Song Qiutong felt that perhaps it was because Mo Ran didn’t like women that much. In short, it clearly had nothing to do with Shi Mingjing.
Not to mention her, the entire Peak of Life and Death knew that the man who died many years ago was the Emperor Ta’s true love.
What was Chu Wanning?
Song Qiutong thought that he was just a plaything that the Emperor Ta used to vent his love. He was a man that the Emperor Ta was tired of using. Although Chu Wanning used his life in exchange for Mo Weiyu’s restlessness after his death, she understood that this was just a moment of guilt and a moment of unfamiliarity.
She was confident that with a face that was so similar to Shi Mingjing’s, the living dead in the Red Lotus Pavilion was no match for her.
But Mo Ran couldn’t continue like this. Now that the world was in chaos and war was everywhere, she was afraid that she would follow the wrong master. If Mo Ran’s power was gone, she was no longer young. She probably wouldn’t be able to find a tree that reached the sky that she could cling to. Therefore, she sincerely hoped that Mo Ran would pull himself together and stop being so crazy.
So she thought about it and weighed the pros and cons. In the end, she gathered her courage and said, “After Grandmaster Chu left, no one deserves to go to the Red Lotus Pavilion.”
Mo Ran said, “That’s right. Go on. ”
“I think that since it’s like this, Your Majesty will only recall the scenery if you go to the pavilion. Why don’t you …”
“Why don’t you?” Mo Ran narrowed his eyes.
“Why don’t we seal the Red Lotus Pavilion? One pavilion for one master, that’s a good story. “
