Chapter 117

In his memory, the young Mo Rigen was lying in a cave, gasping for breath. His body was covered in wounds. His old wounds had not healed, and new ones had been added to them.

His clothes were tattered, and he looked like a wild man who wandered the grasslands and lived with wild animals. His skin was rough and dirty, his hair tangled, and the flesh that had not yet grown back was exposed in his wounds.

The glowing stag slowly stepped into the cave, its two horns guiding the starlight. Mo Rigen raised his head, his eyes filled with surprise as he looked up at the reflection of the stag.

The white light gathered and turned into a naked young man. His skin was white, and his body was fit and beautiful. The young man made a "shh" gesture. Mo Rigen immediately flipped over, grabbed Lu Xu's neck, and pressed him to the ground. Mo Rigen's skin carried a strong masculine scent. He was like a wild wolf in heat that was roaring everywhere and wanted to vent its anger by tearing and biting.

Lu Xu just looked into his eyes quietly. After a moment, Mo Rigen roared fiercely and bit down on his neck.

Lu Xu did not struggle. Instead, he raised his hands and hugged him, hugging his broad shoulders. Mo Rigen's sharp canine teeth pierced his neck. Fresh and sweet blood spurted out of his mouth. The smell of Lu Xu's skin made him feel that his lower body was reacting.

Mo Rigen's breathing became heavy. He let go of Lu Xu's neck, just like that night in the other dream, when the Grey Wolf mercilessly gnawed on his flesh.

He gently kissed Lu Xu's neck. Then, Lu Xu's wound quickly healed, leaving a faint red mark.

Lu Xu hugged his neck, tilted his head and kissed him. Then Mo Rigen untied the belt around his waist, grabbed Lu Xu's hands from behind his head, and pressed him to the ground. He sucked and kissed his collarbone, like a wolf king rubbing against his ear, and entered him fiercely.

"That's all," Lu Xu said uneasily as his palm left Mo Rigen's forehead.

"Is it memories?" Mo Rigen laughed.

Lu Xu said, "Actually … I don't have many precious memories, but in the end, you probably won't know."

Mo Rigen sat up on the Lanling amber couch and suddenly screamed. His underwear was wet. Lu Xu unnaturally got up from the couch and left.

"You've held it in for too long," Lu Xu said.

Mo Rigen's face immediately turned red. He looked around for a towel to wipe his face and shouted, "Lu Xu! Lu Xu! "

Lu Xu leaned against the stairs, gasping for breath. He lowered his head to look at himself, unable to calm down for a moment.

"What kind of primer did you seal in my dream?"

Before they left that day, Mo Rigen even asked Lu Xu.

"It's all very normal things," Lu Xu said.

Mo Rigen was a little apologetic. He bent his body and pushed the handcart. He said casually, "It seems that you haven't had many happy days with me. If I had known, I would have taken you to a more interesting place."

The handcart was loaded with wine. Lu Xu sat on the side of the cart with his back to Mo Rigen. He lowered his head. At dusk, day and night intertwined. Lu Xu's hand glowed and balls of light flew around.

"That day, I saw Hongjun's dream." Lu Xu said without turning his head. "I just feel that when people get to know each other and get along with each other, it's always just trivial matters. What's the point of being so grand? It's tiring. "

Mo Rigen raised his handsome eyebrows and smiled mischievously. He said, "What if you can't wake me up?"

"I can wake you up," Lu Xu said. "The Chief Scribe will come back."

"I want you to wake me up," Mo Rigen said with a smile. "Break the seal and I'll wake up naturally."

Lu Xu didn't know if Mo Rigen was just teasing him or being serious.

Mo Rigen pushed the cart and walked unsteadily on the stone path. Lu Xu jolted up and down.

Mo Rigen said, "If you really can't wake me up, then don't worry about me. Just kill me."

"I can wake you up," Lu Xu repeated. "You're crazy."

Mo Rigen laughed self-deprecatingly. Lu Xu said again, "Even if I can't wake you up, I won't kill you. At most, I'll slap you a few times and you'll wake up."

"Just a few slaps?" Mo Rigen said again.

"What else do you want?" Lu Xu said with a straight face.

Mo Rigen saw that Lu Xu's back was facing him and his hands were glowing. He didn't know what Lu Xu was playing with. He asked curiously, "What kind of magic is this?"

Lu Xu didn't answer. He put away the ball of light and said, "We're here."

He jumped off the cart and walked into the alley. Mo Rigen's eyes widened. He muttered to himself for a long time before finally stepping through the door of Anxi Wei Manor.

The moment he passed through the door, there was a loud bang. Black flames engulfed his entire body. He appeared in the alley with one hand against the wall, trapping Lu Xu under his control.

Unexpectedly, Lu Xu welcomed him and kissed him on the lips.

Mo Rigen was stunned. Lu Xu pulled away with a swish.

Under the moonlight, Mo Rigen stood at the end of the eaves. Lu Xu stood behind him.

There was a full moon in the sky.

"Get lost. Don't follow me anymore," Mo Rigen said coldly.

"Isn't it just killing someone?" Lu Xu said in a low voice. "I'll go with you."

Mo Rigen's eyes widened. Lu Xu said, "Tomorrow morning, I'll wait for you at the same place. Don't oversleep."

"Wait!" Mo Rigen said. "Where?!"

Lu Xu had already jumped off the eaves and disappeared. Mo Rigen chased after him for a few steps, then stopped.

The next morning, the sun shone into the alley. Mo Rigen walked around, but Lu Xu didn't appear in the dark alley. He suddenly remembered another place and quickly ran to the stall outside Anxi Wei Manor. The customers were clamoring, but Lu Xu was still nowhere to be seen.

"What took you so long?" Lu Xu asked behind him.

Mo Rigen turned around and saw him holding a paper bag of biscuits for breakfast. He immediately said, "We're going to kill someone today."

"You have to eat breakfast before you kill someone, right?" Lu Xu thought that this person was ridiculous. What was wrong with eating breakfast before work?

Mo Rigen could only take the biscuit and eat it in the soup. He said unhappily, "I thought you didn't like this place?"

Lu Xu said, "I like it now."

Mo Rigen asked, "Why?"

"Because you like it," Lu Xu said expressionlessly.

Mo Rigen didn't say anything else. After breakfast, Mo Rigen said, "I'm going to kill your brother."

"Just do it," Lu Xu said. "I won't stop you."

Mo Rigen snorted coldly. When they arrived in front of the Great Mercy Temple, there was already a sea of people. Mo Rigen leaped onto the temple wall, and Lu Xu followed suit.

The two of them arrived at a hidden part of the Treasure Pavilion, where one of the relics of Master Xuan Zang was enshrined.

Mo Rigen pushed open the window and placed his bow on the windowsill. He mounted six nail-headed arrows. Lu Xu asked, "Do you want me to return this one to you?"

Mo Rigen replied, "It's enough."

Hongjun didn't come, and the person Mo Rigen wanted to kill wasn't him. From this angle, he could see and aim at the high platform outside the Great Mercy Temple. There were two couches on the high platform. One belonged to Li Longji and the other belonged to Yang Guifei, who were about to arrive.

Mo Rigen tested his aim and released the bowstring. He put one foot on the windowsill and waited, like a wolf watching its prey in the dark. Lu Xu leaned on the windowsill and looked out. Above his head was the blazing sun.

"During the Zhenguan era." Mo Rigen said absentmindedly, "Khitan chieftain Li Jin was loyal to the Tang Empire, and Shiwei was close to the Tang Empire. The two sides were locked in a war for many years. Akhun's tribe was threatened by the Turks and Khitans, and had no choice but to break off contact with the Tang Empire …"

Lu Xu didn't interrupt, and only listened quietly.

"This battle has been going on and off for at least a hundred years." Mo Rigen lowered his head to check the bowstring. "Akhun's tribe belonged to the Tang Empire at the Warren Lake. When the men in the tribe reached the age of sixteen, they would join the Tang Army and fight against the Turks. But when I was six years old, the Turks attacked. In order to preserve their strength, the Tang Army didn't care about the lives of the tribesmen and forcefully withdrew from the area around Akhun's tribe. "

"This led to the Turks' attack. The women in the tribe were ravaged by the Turks … The tribe was ransacked … The Turks liked to capture Shiwei and Khitan children and train them as sacrificial soldiers to fight against the Tang Army. Once they were taken away, they would never return. In order to save my life, my mother asked me to hide under the bed and made a deal with the Turks' centurion … "

"What kind of deal?" Lu Xu asked.

Mo Rigen said, "In broad daylight, my mother asked me to hide in a pile of clothes and not go out to avoid being seen by the Turks. She suffered for me in the tent …"

Lu Xu was silent.

"After the Turks left, we asked for help from Shiwei." Mo Rigen continued, "The Shiwei people came. They wanted to help us protect the village, but the Tang Army arrived soon after. They killed all the tribesmen and burned all the territory."

Lu Xu asked, "Why?"

Mo Rigen said, "Because the Turks gathered a small group of Akhun's tribesmen and raided Langya Mountain and killed 27 Tang soldiers …"

"The Tang army wanted to avenge the deaths of their soldiers on us. Furthermore, Warren Lake is a strategic location. They couldn't hold on to it for too long. In order to prevent the Turks from obtaining strategic supplies here, they killed them all and … burned them all down."

"I still remember that day. My mother asked me to go out to fetch water. Just as I turned around, the village was on fire …"

Mo Rigen looked outside silently. Under the scorching sun, Lu Xu turned to look at Mo Rigen and smiled.

"What are you smiling about?" Mo Rigen asked.

"You're so good-looking." Lu Xu said, "You haven't kissed me yet."

Mo Rigen said, "If you want to persuade me, you don't have to."

"I won't persuade you." Lu Xu said, "I'll only be by your side."

"If you stop me at the last moment, I'll shoot you to death first." Mo Rigen's tone was cold and threatening.

"I won't." Lu Xu frowned. "Why are you so paranoid?"

Mo Rigen pondered for a moment and looked at Lu Xu with hostility. After a while, he put down the foot that was stepping on the windowsill and supported himself on the windowsill like Lu Xu. He leaned down slightly and got closer to Lu Xu.

Lu Xu closed his eyes. Mo Rigen opened his mouth slightly and kissed him on the lips. Their lips were hot and soft, and their breathing became rapid.

A bell rang in the distance. Li Longji and Yang Yuhuan had arrived.

Their lips parted. Lu Xu and Mo Rigen looked at each other for a moment. Mo Rigen turned his head and looked outside the Great Mercy Temple. There was silence between heaven and earth.

He placed the longbow on the windowsill and took out the nailhead arrow from the quiver. He was ready to set it.

But at this moment, Lu Xu suddenly said, "If I make up a memory for you in your dream, turning that dark past into a life where you grew up with me, do you think everything will be different for you?"

"No." Mo Rigen said in a low voice, "What happened is what happened. To me, even if my memory is changed, those things will always exist."

"But to me." Lu Xu said again, "All the pain only exists in the memory. Expelling the painful dreams and leaving only the beautiful ones is the responsibility of Grey Wolf and White Deer."

"So this is just lying to yourself," Mo Rigen said.

"Where is the boundary between dreams and reality? In other words, how can you be sure that those painful memories are not made up by Tianma to corrupt you? "

Mo Rigen: "…"

Lu Xu said again, "Let's say that we are in a dream now. How can you be sure that how many memories are dreams and how many are reality?"

"Let me ask you one last time. What if I told you that at the moment I sealed your memory, the murderer in your memory was a Turkic, but An Lushan changed it, so the murderer became a Tang soldier?"

Mo Rigen did not answer, as if he had turned a deaf ear to Lu Xu's words. He slowly drew the bow and aimed at the back of Li Longji in the distance.

As long as the arrow left the bowstring and flew for nearly a hundred steps, it would hit the back of the Tang Dynasty emperor's neck and kill him.

At this moment, the abbot held a wooden fish in his hand and led more than ten monks out to recite scriptures and pray for the emperor and his concubine.

"Namo He Luo Na Duo Luo Ye — —"

"Namo Ah Ya Po Lu Jie Di Shuo Bo Luo Ye — —"

The thousands of monks in the temple chanted in unison. The chanting sound seemed to penetrate everyone's eardrums and vibrated in Mo Rigen's chest. Countless images flashed by.

"All the pain only exists in the memories …"

"Where is the boundary between dreams and reality?"

Mo Rigen turned to look at Lu Xu in disbelief. Lu Xu stood under the sun and looked at him silently. At that moment, they seemed to have returned to the Deer King Portrait, standing quietly in front of the fountain.

At this moment, Mo Rigen seemed to have a hole in his heart. With a buzzing sound, a seal left by the Deer King appeared on his chest.

"Everything is possible, like a dream …" Mo Rigen murmured.

Lu Xu smiled and said, "Like dew and like lightning, it should be observed."

Mo Rigen put down his bow. What followed was a wave of dizziness.

Rain fell. The stag stood in the middle of Warren Lake. Around him, millions of water ripples bloomed like a brilliant lotus flower.

Grey Wolf stood by the lake and looked at the stag from afar.

"I should go. I will be reincarnated in the Mogao Grotto." The stag turned around and said gently in a low voice.

"I will be reincarnated by this lake." Grey Wolf replied in a hoarse voice.

The stag said, "Remember to come and find me … Forget it, leave it to fate."

"I will go." Grey Wolf replied.

The stag turned around and stepped into the night sky. The rain had stopped and the Milky Way scattered. The stag followed the path of the Milky Way and stepped into the distant end of the earth.

Grey Wolf's indigo glowing soul turned into light spots and slowly drifted away in the wind. Warren Lake was like a mirror, reflecting this scene.

Late at night, Mo Rigen opened the paper door and walked out shirtless in only his underwear. Lu Xu was sitting cross-legged in the corridor. Lu Xu had a thoughtful look on his face as he repeatedly rubbed two light balls in his hands.

Mo Rigen looked down and saw that the two light balls in Lu Xu's hands were a tiny glowing White Deer and an indigo wolf cub. The cub chased onto his right palm and the White Deer jumped onto his left palm. The Grey Wolf and the White Deer chased each other back and forth.

Mo Rigen sat down beside Lu Xu and put a hand on his shoulder. Lu Xu looked up at the starry sky. Mo Rigen turned his head to look at Lu Xu.

"I love you." Mo Rigen said in a low voice.

"Don't be mushy." Lu Xu said coldly.

Suddenly, Mo Rigen opened his eyes and roared. He lifted Lu Xu off his back. Lu Xu's face was pale. He was suffocating in the water and was no longer breathing. Mo Rigen immediately carried him to the edge of the pool. He pressed his nose and mouth, then his chest, and breathed into him.

Once, twice. Lu Xu gasped for breath and spat out water. He coughed violently. Mo Rigen waited for him to cough a few times before he leaned over again.

"Ugh —" Lu Xu struggled to push him away. He was already awake, but Mo Rigen didn't breathe into him. Instead, he kissed him aggressively.

Lu Xu: "…"

Lu Xu opened his eyes wide. This time, it was Mo Rigen's turn to focus on kissing Lu Xu with his eyes closed. After a while, Mo Rigen felt a reaction from both of them. He immediately opened his eyes. There was a smile in his eyes, but his lips were still inseparable.

In his eyes, there was a faint evil aura.

Lu Xu was stunned. His heart was beating wildly. The devil aura on Mo Rigen's body hadn't been expelled!

He immediately used his elbow to hit Mo Rigen hard and knocked him away. Mo Rigen was caught off guard by another sneak attack. He immediately shouted angrily, "You're asking for it!"

This was far beyond Lu Xu's expectations. His first thought was, oh no! The devil aura was still there! He instinctively retreated. He still had to find Li Jinglong!

Lu Xu once again fell into the bathtub, but Mo Rigen took a step in, causing a splash. Lu Xu intended to escape, but Mo Rigen grabbed him by the waist and ruthlessly pressed him against the wall without giving him a chance to speak.

Lu Xu: "…"

Lu Xu still wanted to struggle, but Mo Rigen bit the red mark on his neck!

Lu Xu's body stiffened. However, Mo Rigen didn't bite him. He only used his canine teeth to bite him. Then, he kissed him gently on the neck. Then, he slowly kissed Lu Xu's ear and the side of his face. Lu Xu turned his face. His eyes were filled with surprise.

"Now it's my turn …" Mo Rigen whispered, "Relax, don't be nervous …"

The two faced each other. Mo Rigen kissed Lu Xu's lips again.

"You don't like wild things?" Mo Rigen said.

"Your devil aura …" Lu Xu said, "That's not right …"

"This is me." Mo Rigen said, "This is the real me …"

"No, no … You can't … Bastard!" Lu Xu immediately shouted.

"What did you call me?" Mo Rigen whispered in Lu Xu's ear. Their clothes were already soaked. Their muscles were stuck together through the thin summer silk clothes. Lu Xu didn't expect Mo Rigen to be so direct. Mo Rigen's broad chest, strong shoulders, and strong arms made him infatuated. Mo Rigen tore at Lu Xu's martial robe like a wolf. Lu Xu couldn't break free from him. Both of his wrists were locked by Mo Rigen. In a short while, he was captured.

"Elder, please …"

"I'll make it quick," Mo Rigen whispered in Lu Xu's ear. Then, he pushed Lu Xu against the wall.

"Ah ah ah ah ah —!" Lu Xu screamed. After being described by Hongjun, he couldn't help but wonder if it was really that painful. But when he experienced it himself, it was really, really, painful!

"Painful?" Mo Rigen stopped. Seeing Lu Xu's tears, he didn't know what to do. He was so nervous that he was like the innocent Lu Xu from before.

"No, no, no!" Lu Xu immediately denied, "It doesn't hurt at all. Big Wolf … "Then, he frowned and closed his eyes tightly. His voice trembled as he said," I want it. "

He had long forgotten what Hongjun said. But at this moment, he suddenly felt as if there was a strange force mixing in their bodies. It was like blood dissolving in blood, or water dissolving in water.

Mo Rigen didn't say a word. He pushed Lu Xu tightly against the wall. Even their breathing was trembling. Their emotions were extremely complicated. Nervousness, joy, excitement, anticipation … all kinds of emotions mixed together. Even without speaking, they could feel each other's souls trembling!

Mo Rigen held Lu Xu's hand. The two of them tacitly separated their fingers and clasped them together. Lu Xu couldn't help but cry under the repeated collisions.

Mo Rigen kissed away his tears and whispered in his ear, "We can't make it quick. Cry louder."

Lu Xu: "… Bastard!"
