《Ancient God (Ancient Love Poetry)》Chapter 84: Guilt and Punishment
Advertisement
Walking slowly, a black figure walked into the peach forest, Bai Jue sitting under the tree raised his head and looked at her fixedly.
Still the same as 60,000 years ago...
Peach blossoms all over the world, hundreds of millions of gods, are not as good as when she came, a touch of elegance between her eyebrows.
Bai Jue put away the letter in his hand, poured a cup of warm tea, and lowered his eyes,
"Sit down."
Shang Gu fluffed het sleeves and sat opposite him, with dark eyes, as if they contained the vicissitudes .
She picked up the tea, took a sip, and was slightly startled.
The tea has a sweet fragrance and a slightly sweet taste, which is what she always likes.
It is Shang Gu's favorite, not Hou Chi.
"You remember very clearly. In the early years, those little immortals from the lower realms liked to send some extremely sweet tea seeds to the Pilgrimage Hall, and they always told me not to know how to turn them away."
She always valued her face, and she didn't want Xiaoxian to know that the True God in charge of the God Realm had some hobbies of a little girl, but Bai Jue never missed it, whether it was the clothes she liked, the taste of tea, or the food.
Bai Jue smiled, his expression still indifferent, and said, "I see that your name has been restored on Qingtian Pillar. You must have taken the Ancestral Dword and have Hou Chi's memory."
The hand holding the teacup lightly paused in Shang Gu, frowned slightly, raised her head and said, "Bai Jue, why did you do this back then?"
Bai Jue lowered his eyes and did not answer, Shang Gu was silent.
"Gu Jun and Bo Xuan are both my closest relatives in this life, although..." She stopped, and her words gradually became cold,
"You did this, have you ever thought about how to deal with myself if I wake up? Don't you think I can take revenge, or just let it go and act like these things never happened?"
She looked at Bai Jue's drooping eyebrows, leaned closer, and said word by word, "You clearly know that I can't do it, why are you pushing me to this point?"
The two faced each other quietly, one bowed his head and said nothing, the other looked indignant.
The peach blossoms were blown away from the tree, and the sound of falling to the ground broke the strange silence.
Bai Jue circled the teacup in his hand twice, quietly raised his head, glanced at the ancients, and said,
"Shang Gu, Hou Chi, A Qi, Qing Mu, what about you?"
This time, it was Shang Gu's turn to be speechless. She frowned and looked at Bai Jue with a slightly impatient look on her face.
"You and I have known each other for thousands of years. You should know that if you don't like it, you don't like it. I have clear memories, it doesn't mean that I love Hou Chi as well, don't you do the same?" Bai Jue said quietly.
Across the lingering mist, Shang Gu's hands hidden in the robes tightened.
Is this the reason? He didn't love Hou Chi and was afraid of getting into trouble, so he did this? What a bastard, Bai Jue said he didn't love her, could it be that she would still lick her face in Shang Gu and wishful thinking!
"You're right. Although I have memories of Hou Chi, I'm not her. Those vulgar loves and affections are annoying to look at. If I had my own memories back then, I would never have fallen in love with him. Qing Mu."

Shang Gu said coldly, her eyebrows and eyes were indifferent, and she suppressed the inexplicable astringency in her heart.
Some things happen, after all, you can't just laugh it off, because you care about it, so it's hard to face it.
Bai Jue's expression froze, and after watching Shang Gu for a while, she picked up the teacup and whispered,
"Really? It turns out to be vulgar..."
His voice was low, and there was a touch of unspeakable loneliness. When Shang Gu looked up, she saw that his expression was cold, so he couldn't help laughing at himself and turned her eyes.
Up to now, he still delusionally thinks that he has a trace of guilt, Shang Gu, you are ridiculous.
"Then do you hate me? Shang Gu, I forced Gu Jun to death, destroyed Bo Xuan's body, and abandoned Hou Chi's marriage, do you hate me?? "
"Hate, of course I hate you." Shang Gu said,
"But I am not only Hou Chi, Hou Chi hates you, I can't, Hou Chi wants you to die, and I can't either."
Ten thousand years of friendship, Bai Jue, how can I hate you? Even if you do this, what can I do to you?
"Can't you write off what happened in the first place?"
"No, I will reopen the God Realm, and leave the entire lower realm to you. I won't bother about the battle between the immortal and the demon."
"Why give it to me, you are not afraid that I will help Sen Hong destroy the immortal clan?"
"No matter what you did back then, you are True God Bai Jue. You will be ruthless towards Hou Chi, but you won't joke about the safety of the Three Realms."
"That's a good thing to say, Shang Gu, your great principles have been around for tens of thousands of years, and you still haven't left them behind. As for me, what are you going to do with me?"
"Stay in the Sky Realm, you can never set foot in the God Rem." Shang Gu raised her head and spoke slowly.
This is the only punishment she can do. The sentence she couldn't finish just now... Gu Jun and BO Xuan are the closest relatives of Hou Chi in this life, but Bai Jue is the most important person in her eternal life.
She couldn't make a choice, and couldn't tell which one was more important. In the end, she could only lose both.
Bai Jue laughed, with an inexplicable meaning in his eyes, and lowered his eyes,
"Shang Gu, I killed Gu Jun and Bo Xuan, and only banished me to the lower realm, isn't it too light?"
He sneered slightly at the corner of his mouth. For some reason, Shang Gu felt that Bai Jue at this time was extremely cold and thin.
There was anger in her eyes, suppressing the coldness in her heart, and when she turned her eyes, she saw that Tian Qi had already stood in the peach forest not far away.
Shang Gu let out a sigh of relief and said, "Since you're here, why don't you make a sound?"
"I didn't hide, you didn't find it yourself, why did you rely on me."
Tian Qi raised his eyebrows and walked towards the two of them. Tian Qi sat between Bai Jue and Shang Gu, holding up the table and getting ready. Tea, the corner of his mouth hooked,
"It seems that you know that I am coming, and the choice is the vulgar taste that Shang Gu like."

After speaking, he leaned towards Shang Gu and squinted at her.
Bai Jue lowered his head and sipped his tea, his face light and cloudy.
Shang Gu rolled her eyes at him, snorted lightly and ignored him.
In the world outside the Taolin, despite the collapse of the Three Realms and the entanglement of grievances, the three of them just held a cup of tea and looked down on the running water. Sixty thousand years of time seemed to have never passed.
They got along like this thousands of years ago, and it is a rare thing in the world to be able to sit together now.
However, everyone knows that this is probably the last chance.
"If Zhi Yang is here, there will be no regrets."
The corners of Shang Gu's lips curled slightly, and the teacup touched the stone table with a crisp sound, which finally broke the rare atmosphere.
"Bai Jue, where is Zhi Yang?"
"Shang Gu, let me tell you, I did hide some things from you."
Tian Wi interrupted the questioning of Shang Gu, and looked at Shang Gu with inexplicable persistence in his eyes.
Bai Jue was slightly startled, his brows furrowed.
"You said."
Shang Gu turned her head and looked at him.
"You don't have the memory of those three hundred years, so you don't know some things. When you woke up, I told you that the Tribulation Of Chaos was a catastrophe of heaven and earth, but it's not true. I led it."
A sentence was like a stone-shattering shock, and a shallow surprise flashed across Shang Gu's eyes, and Bai Jue also turned his head to look at Shang Gu.
Did Shang Gu lose those three hundred years of memory?
"At the beginning, I used the land of Kyushu as a furnace to burn the blood of the Three Realms, but I accidentally led Tribulation Of Chaos, and you will die with your own body."
Tian Qi looked at Shang Gu, word by word, said solemnly.
"You sent Yue Mi and the others to persuade me from the lower realm, but they died tragically in the Great Destruction Formation I set up. It was I who killed them."
There was no expression on Shang Gu's face, but Tian Qi suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. He had kept it a secret for so long, and he even condoned Wu Huan's actions. Now, it is no longer necessary.
"Why do you want to burn out the blood of the Three Realms?"
Shang Gu stared at Tian Qi and asked.
"In order to surpass the Ancestral God and become the strongest existence in Three Realms."
"I don't believe it."
Shang Gu fluttered and dropped a sentence, turned her head, didn't bother to look at Tian Qi again, picked up the teacup, and took a sip.
The two of them looked at Shang Gu at the same time, Bai Jue looked like he had known this for a long time, but Tian Qi was stunned and said in a hoarse voice,
"Shang Gu, I said that I destroyed the world 60,000 years ago, killed Yue Mi, and also killed you. It is a fact."
"I'll say it again, I don't believe it."
Shang Gu turned her head suddenly, her eyes burning,
"If you set up a world-annihilation formation in the lower realm, I will only believe that you have other difficulties. It can't be what you did. If I die, it must be because... that is the most important thing to save you. Tian Qi, how long have we known each other, even if the Three Realms are destroyed tomorrow, I will not believe that you did it willingly! "
Shang Gu pulled the collar on Tian Qi's chest and said hard, "Because you are Tian Qi, all those damn excuses are thrown out of the Nine Heavens for me. I promise you, I will never ask you why you destroyed the world in the first place."
"Shang Gu..." He had not seen such an angry Shanv Gu for a long time, but Tian Qi did not miss the deep grief in her eyes.
It's not that she blamed him for the death of the world, but that he couldn't tell her the reason for the world's death, and that he couldn't trust her.
It's not that she killed Yue Mi, but she has lost Yue Mi.
For 60,000 years, he never thought that his original choice was wrong.
Even if he went back to the past, he would still make such a choice.
However, he couldn't deny that everything he did had brought eternal harm to Shang Gu.
Tian Qi lowered his head, only helplessness remained in his eyes.
Shang Gu looked at Bai Jue and said,
"There are some things that can be solved once, and we probably won't see each other again in the future."
Bai Jue smiled, "I also think it's so good, Zhi Yang is in the God Realm, you will naturally see him when you go back later..." He paused,
"Forget it, Gu Jun and Bo Xuan. It's my fault."
"No, they're gone. Even if you apologize, you won't get two lives back. Before returning to the God Realm, I won't come to the Sky Realm again."
Shang Gu got up and took two steps, but was slightly stunned, looked down at the pulled wrist, and turned her head.
Bai Jue stood behind her, glanced at her, as if empty, but she was extremely gentle.
"Shang Gu, in the future, you have to take care of yourself."
Bai Jue, you are the cruelest person in the world. It can be cruel enough to destroy me, and gentle enough to make me mistakenly think you still love me.
The warm touch on her wrist reached her heart, and Shang Gu suddenly approached Bai Jue and hugged him.
Tian Qi was stunned and turned his eyes.
Bai Jue's body was stiff, and he dropped his hand on her shoulder, but at the last breath, he stopped.
"Qing Mu, I don't love you anymore."
Shang Gu looked at the peach forest in the sky, her voice a little desolate.
This is what Hou Chi should have said a hundred years ago, even if it is too late, she will say it after all.
In the Yuanling Swamp, Qing Mu, who desperately told her to escape first, Qing Mu who was hired as a servant on Green Dragon Platform, and Qing Mu who was waiting for her to return from Qingtian Pillar... picked up memories, but could no longer pick up feelings.
After all, she had already lost that gentle and tough young man, but she just refused to admit it.
In a place that Shang Gu could not see, Bai Jue looked into the distance, seemed relieved, and seemed to sigh.
"I know."
Although the warmth of the wrist can penetrate into the bottom of my heart, it cannot erase the scars drawn by the sword at the beginning.
Although Gu Jun and Bo Xuan are dead, she can't pretend that nothing happened.
A Qi has grown up, but they owe him a hundred years.
The silver divine power gathered at the fingertips, and the Ancestral Sword condensed and formed behind Bai Jue.
Shang Gu's heart was extremely cold, and the pain could not be suppressed.
Bai Jue slightly raised the corner of his mouth and closed his eyes.
Tiam Qi's face changed greatly, and before he could get close, the Ancestral Sword had already passed through Bai Jue's chest.
The blood stained his plain white robe, Bai Jue's face was pale, and he lowered his eyes, but he could not feel any pain.
Some people, who have been together for thousands of years, have long been connected by lifelines, but they will eventually become strangers one day.
"Bai Jue, that sword was stabbed by Hou Chi a hundred years ago. This time, you must remember clearly that it was from me, not Hou Chi, nor anyone in this world. It was me, Shang Gu."
"We will write off the death of Bo Xuan and Gu Jun."
"The memories of the Yuanling Swamp and the love on the Green Dragon Platform will no longer be there."
"The grace of teaching me, the companionship of Pilgrimage Hall, will never look back."
"Bai Jue, I swear to the sky in the name of the Ancestral God, I will never hate you, I will not love you, you and I will become a stranger, and I will never see you again."
Shang Gu's words came into his ears word by word, but Bai Jue suddenly felt that the coldness of the Ancestral Sword was not half as cold as Shang Gu's words.
Shang Gu, it seems that I overestimated what I can bear and underestimated the hatred you have for me.
However, this is also good, really good.
He watched the Ancestral Sword withdraw from his chest inch by inch, watched Shang Gu disappear into the forest, watched Tian Qi hurriedly chased out.
Looking at the whole world, he was the only one left, and he was the same as the Hall of Heaven a hundred years ago.
The blood ran across the fingertips along the sleeves, drop by drop on the ground, like peach blossoms in full bloom.
Bai Jue suddenly lost all strength, and fell to the ground with a bang, his face lost all color.
The sky is full of clouds, the world is bright red.
Only he had black hair, and in a blink of an eye only snow white remained.
Is there really life and death in this world?
Shang Gu, I'm just afraid that you don't hate me enough.
Hating me, is my biggest hope for 60,000 years.
