Chapter 81: Night Rain in Bashan, No Return (Eleven) Everyone wants to drink...

Ye Qingzhan had a simple idea, thinking that using the ginkgo biloba to catch Hu Tangqing and Wang Niangzi would prevent their deaths. However, from the moment they fell into the lake, Hu Tangqing's portion of the sea of consciousness began to slowly collapse.

At the gates of death, Hu Tangqing's scattered consciousness intertwined with Li Zhixing's. This sea of consciousness was constructed by both of them. Li Zhixing's portion was experienced by Wen Gu.

But Li Zhixing also jumped into the lake, and the portion of the sea of consciousness constructed by his past began to dissipate. The sea of consciousness collapsed back to its original location. She and Wen Gu hid in an invisibility barrier that isolated them from the outside world, exchanging information.

Only then did she realize that the sea of consciousness they had experienced was composed of their shared experiences.

But why was there only Sanniang at the original location? Where had the exiled immortal gone?

Hu Tangqing searched around the barrier, then turned and met Ye Qingzhan's eyes.

Ye Qingzhan tilted his head and looked at her, saying, "You said her ghost saw the exiled immortal and Ye Mei embrace? It was despair."

Wen Gu nodded hesitantly.

"But what I saw wasn't like that." She recalled Hu Tangqing's drowning, the moment before her sea of consciousness collapsed... After

being submerged in the lake, Hu Tangqing wandered the mortal world for many days as a wronged spirit, often caught in the rain, waiting for someone at the entrance to Bashan Mountain, and writing letters to Li Zhixing with pen and paper.

Isn't it said that the dead forget their past? But why did Ye Qingzhan feel that Hu Tangqing remembered everything?

She smiled when she received Li Zhixing's reply, and in her letter, she told him that on her return home, she would wear the emerald bamboo hairpin he had given her, hoping that he would pin a red flower to his ear, just like the top scholar. Instead

of waiting for her beloved, she encountered a fox. He said that if Hu Tangqing gave him something in her body, he could use his resurrection technique to revive her and reunite them.

Hu Tangqing was unwilling, so Dr. Fox tied her up and took her to the inn where Li Zhixing was staying.

At that time, Ye Qingzhan was in the wailing of countless ghosts in Jinghu Lake, her heart trembling violently, as if something was about to burst out of her heart, and she delayed for a few days. After her body recovered, Li Zhixing went to Bashan.

When Wen Gu heard the pain in her heart, the corners of her eyes turned red. She continued her words, "It was then that the master saw him and Ye Mei hugging each other."

Ye Qingzhan nodded and continued to talk under his wet eyes.

The part of Hu Sanniang's sea of consciousness was constantly collapsing, but later, Li Zhixing returned home and filled the collapsed sea of consciousness. He also did many good things as the governor. Hu Tangqing accompanied him for a long time in the form of a ghost, but she did not expect that he would jump into the river so decisively.

After Li Zhixing's death, Dr. Fox captured Hu Tangqing and retrieved Li Zhixing's soul, intending to blackmail him and use the wisdom in his undispersed consciousness in exchange for Hu Tangqing's chance to be reborn.

He had waited for so many years just for this moment.

However, man proposes, God disposes. The moment Li Zhixing jumped into the river, he ascended to heaven.

Hu Tangqing looked at the night sky with lightning and thunder, watching him ascend to heaven, while she and Dr. Fox fought a desperate battle for several days and nights. Countless ghosts in Jinghu Lake broke out of the water and fought alongside her.

However, the combined ghost power was ultimately unbearable. While Dr. Fox was seriously injured, the overflowing ghost power also devoured countless people in Liudunling and Bashan.

The souls of the women at the bottom of the lake were all escorted to the gates of hell.

...

Outside the barrier, Hu Tangqing roared in anger because she couldn't find the two people. Ye Qingzhan looked at her with a sad face and eyes full of pity. "Is there any way to remedy this?"

Hearing her words, Wen Gu stepped forward and asked with lowered eyes, "Do you really want to save them?"

Ye Qingzhan nodded sincerely, "Two such good people shouldn't have ended like this."

Before Wen Gu could say anything, Hei Batian suddenly slipped out of her sleeve. Hei Batian, who had shrunk several times, wrapped around her arm. His two big round eyes stared at the red tea bracelet on her wrist for a while, then glanced at Wen Gu with ill intent. With a turn of his eyes, he said, "It's very simple for you to save them. Let me bite this thing you're wearing into pieces, and we can get out."

Hei Batian wanted to say something, but Wen Gu grabbed him by the neck and grabbed him back.

"Are you serious?" Ye Qingzhan asked with wide eyes, his eyes full of hope.

"To see if it's true or not, why not just bite it to pieces?"

Hei Batian relied on his ability to shrink his body and twisted it into the size of an earthworm. He slipped through Wen Gu's fingers and bit the bracelet on Ye Qingzhan's wrist.

Wen Gu wanted to stop him, but it was too late.

At the moment when the red pearls and jade shattered, Ye Qingzhan felt a sharp pain in her heart, and a restlessness spread throughout her internal organs, as if something was about to break out of her body. The broken memories in her mind came flooding back in an instant.

She had a splitting headache and fainted. Wen Gu caught her.

Hei Batian hurriedly spit out a scroll from his mouth.

His sea of consciousness shattered.

***

Inside the Ghost Gate, the ghost guests who passed through safely were anxiously waiting for the return of the ghost ferries at the Hongchen Inn.

Tian Jin and Tian Xue were guarding around Changzuifang, waiting for the ghost power mixed with spiritual energy to dissipate. They waited all day and all night. Tomorrow was the last day for the ghost guests to pass the gate. If the gate master didn't wake up, at the end of the seven-day period, the heavens would descend to send the ghost guests back into the cycle of reincarnation to select a new gate master.

How could such a wonderful person like Sanniang just disappear? Abandoned, she was?

Tian Jin clutched his sword, his head aching with thought. He stared at the two people embracing in the black fog and sighed deeply.

Tian Xue understood his feelings; she felt the same pain. Looking into the gate master's eyes, she couldn't help but feel a pang of pain. As tears welled up in her eyes, she thought she saw Sanniang open her eyes...

Tian Xue, feeling dizzy, hurriedly wiped away her tears, but this time she saw it clearly.

The gate master's eyes had truly opened.

Excitedly, she nudged Tian Jin with her arm. "The gate master is awake!"

Tian Jin wanted to say, "Stop it!" but the next moment—

the black fog dissipated.

Hu Tangqing's eyes were open, her gaze meticulously tracing her beloved. Her hand touched his brow, inch by inch, lowering it.

Wen Gu was holding Ye Qingzhan, with Hei Batian flying beside him, holding a brown scroll in its mouth.

Seeing the master like this, Wen Gu turned his back. Hei Batian widened his eyes, full of curiosity, staring at the two of them intently, but was pulled over by Wen Gu by the tail, with a look of regret on his face.

Li Zhixing woke up at this moment.

Looking at the gentle eyes of the woman in his arms looking at him, Li Zhixing cried out "wow", knelt down and said: "Tang Qing, I'm sorry for you, I came too late, too late... I'm sorry, I'm sorry, and that ghost, she was the one who pestered me, I jumped out of the window-"

He was crying and talking, Hu Tangqing blocked his words with a finger, and said softly: "I believe you."

The sea of ​​consciousness replayed the past, and Hu Tangqing saw scenes that she had never seen before. In fact, whether she saw Li Zhixing's later actions or not, she believed in him.

Believed from beginning to end.

So, that night she said to the fox Taoist: "I believe."

Just like the letter he wrote with blood-

In this life, in all the lives to come, in all the lives to come, there will only be Tang Qing,

and I will be faithful to her until death. He promised to be faithful until death, and she believed it unwaveringly.

Hearing what Hu Tangqing said, Li Zhixing cried even harder, his shoulders shaking, and asked in a trembling voice: "I, I... can I still marry you? You, you still... are you willing to marry me?"

Hu Tangqing wiped the tears from his face and said with a smile: "You are an immortal, I am a ghost, we..."

Li Zhixing sealed their lips with a kiss.

The kiss ended and their lips parted.

Hu Tangqing's face flushed. This was the first time he had taken the initiative to kiss her. She saw that his red clothes had turned black, and a flame totem appeared between his eyebrows. She couldn't help but reach out and touch him.

"I am now a fallen immortal, a male ghost. I hope Master, please don't despise me and take me into your possession and make me your slave!" Li Zhixing said it calmly, but Hu Tangqing's face flushed even more.

"How come you've changed so much after your trip to heaven... You've become a little shameless and shameless."

Li Zhixing put his face against her neck as if no one was around, "What's the use of having face, I only want you." After losing her and getting her back, he just wanted to hold her tightly, not wanting to be apart for a moment.

Ye Qingzhan woke up when the two of them were hugging each other.

She was held in Wen Gu's arms like a child, her face resting on his shoulder, her eyes exposed as she looked at the two of them secretly, and she heard the exiled immortal say: "Tangqing, let's get married tonight, okay? Tomorrow we will send the ghost guests into reincarnation together, and run the inn together in the future, okay?"

Li Zhixing was like a chatterbox, pestering Hu Tangqing with questions.

"Okay, okay, okay, okay," Hu Tangqing felt that this man was like a different person. He used to blush when he teased her, but now he could talk about marriage at will, but she... at this moment, she just wanted to do what he wanted.

The conversation between the two had left Hei Batian's lips curled up. He glanced at the gloomy-looking young man beside him, and his mood brightened even more. He turned around and spat the scroll in his mouth onto the ground. He said to the two people hugging each other on the ground, "Congratulations, both of you. I wonder if Xiaolong will be lucky enough to get a glass of wedding wine?"

Hu Tangqing and Li Zhixing both looked at the silly, snake-like little black dragon, and then looked confusedly at the young man standing with his back to them, wanting to ask, who is this silly dragon?

Unexpectedly, before they could open their mouths, they met the eyes of the girl who was blinking as she lay on Wen Gu's shoulder.

Under the gaze of the two, Ye Qingzhan raised her head and whispered, "I want to drink too."

A warm breath swept across her ears, and Wen Gu, who had been holding her all the time, stiffened, and his ears turned red as if congested. After a long while, he said, "You're awake."

Hu Tangqing and Li Zhixing, who were sitting on the ground, hugged each other and helped each other stand up. Li Zhixing remained calm, coming to his senses. "It's all here." He paused, then added with a guilty look, "Wine, drink, drink, all you can drink."

Hei Batian contentedly picked up the scroll from the ground again. After Ye Qingzhan jumped off Wen Gu, he handed it to him, looking at him with disdain. "People are about to attend the wedding, and I don't even want to talk about it if you keep looking at me."

Wen Gu took the scroll and glared at him.

Ye Qingzhan looked down.

Li Zhixing took Hu Tangqing's hand, walked over to the two of them, and said solemnly, "My immortal power has dissipated. I have become a fallen immortal, and I am filled with ghostly energy. I cannot return to the heavens to report. I can only tell you everything I have discovered. The road ahead depends on you two."

Wen Gu and Ye Qingzhan looked at him and nodded heavily.

...

That night, at the gates of hell, the Red Dust Inn was packed with guests, both on stage and off, drinking and chatting.

The handsome man finally married the girl he had searched all over the world for.

And the beautiful woman, who counted the night rains in Bashan, also married the man she had waited for years tonight.

From then on, they were inseparable.

Two embroidered balls tied with red silk were thrown up and down.

Amid the bustling noise, they encircled the young man and woman who stared at each other.

Just like before.

Ye Qingzhan remembered him back then.

Wen Gu remembered her back then.
