Chapter 124 Nightmare (What about me? What will happen to me if I can’t make the light fall?) (Where you come from, where you go.) (Go back? Can I go back?) (You should know that your fate has come to an end, and only a remnant soul remains.) He Qing woke up suddenly, gasping for breath in sweat, but before he could catch his breath, he realized that there was a person sitting at the end of his bed in the dark. He was frightened to the point of almost having heart arrest. He Qing covered his chest with one hand and blocked his eyes with the other, sighing faintly: "Why are you dissatisfied with me? Do you want to scare me to death?" Su Guang's night vision is excellent. Even in the pitch-dark night, he can clearly see He Qing's hair soaked with cold sweat and his slightly wet collar. He moved closer, took out a small white handkerchief, and gently wiped the sweat off He Qing's neck. He said in a gentle voice, "The feng shui of Wolong Valley must be very good, which is why you can sleep so soundly." With He Qing's cultivation level, sleeping is not a necessary method to restore physical strength. Even if he really wants to sleep, he will not sleep so soundly that he let Su Guang enter the room, approach, and even sit at the end of the bed for a long time like a cup of tea, but he did not react at all. He Qing knew the answer, but he could only lie and say, "I've been feeling very tired lately, so I just want to have a good night's sleep." "Oh?" Su Guang responded, and glanced at He Qing calmly: "It seems that this hope is dashed. Are you having a nightmare?" In fact, ever since she entered the book, He Qing would have nightmares nine times out of ten whenever she slept. The contents of her dreams were rich and exciting, and most of the time, Gu Changnian was killing her in various exquisite ways.
Although she didn't sleep well, it didn't affect He Qing's mood. When she was dreaming, she basically knew that she was dreaming. But this time was different. He Qing truly felt the end of her life. All her consciousness was pulled out of her body, the scene around her was blurred, and all familiar things were moving away at a very fast speed. The darkness surged in like a tide, gnawing like a maggot, swallowing up all her emotions. Eventually, even the senses, including fear, were overwhelmed... He Qing is the one who fears death the most. And when she experienced the feeling of death so clearly and realistically, she became even more afraid. The room was silent, and the action of wiping the light stagnated. He Qing was trembling. The slender fingers covering the face were trembling unconsciously. Su Guang knew that He Qing was lying, because during the time he was sitting in meditation for a cup of tea, he clearly felt that He Qing's soul left his body for a moment, just like what happened in the secret room in Tianshu Mountain. But before he could activate his divine power to explore, He Qing's soul returned to his body. He Qing's deliberate concealment made him somewhat unhappy, but when he saw He Qing showing such a rare cowardly side, he couldn't help but soften his heart. Su Guang let out a long sigh, leaned over and gently picked up He Qing and held her in his arms, gently stroking her vest and whispering in her ear: "Did you dream that you were dead?" Based on Su Guang's understanding of He Qing, the only thing that could scare her like this was death. Sure enough, He Qing's body stiffened when he heard this. Su Guang chuckled, hugged the person in his arms tighter, and whispered softly: "Death is just the beginning of another journey, not the end." He Qing rested his forehead against Su Guang's shoulder and murmured in a muffled voice: "I don't have another journey..." Feeling Su Guang's gentle caressing stop, he added tiredly: "With the frequency of my cursing God every now and then, I'm afraid I have already offended it and it won't give me another chance to travel." Su Guang smiled again: "Then don't take this opportunity. When the seal of the North is unlocked, I will protect your eternal life." He Qing was indifferent to this promise. After a moment of silence, he asked, "Suguang, if you want to save a person's life, and the Heavenly Dao wants to take that person's life away, can you still save it?" Su Guang frowned in confusion: "Why would Heaven take your life?" "..." This question was more or less an answer. He Qing closed his eyes and shook his head: "Just asking casually." Su Guang noticed that He Qing was depressed, but he didn't know why.
The way of heaven will take away He Qing’s life...well. When He Qing was experiencing the tribulation, he had incurred heavenly punishment. At that time, Su Guang did not understand the reason. But after discovering that Gu Changnian was the son of destiny chosen by Heaven to seal him, Su Guang guessed that the heavenly punishment was because He Qing endangered Gu Changnian's life, so Heaven issued a warning. But now, He Qing and Gu Changnian are no longer mortal enemies, so why is she still worried that her life will be taken away by the Heavenly Dao? However, in Suguang's opinion, even if He Qing's life was taken away by Heaven, he still had ways to find He Qing's afterlife and return her memories of this life to her. As long as he is here, he will be able to help He Qing gain eternal life and stay with him forever, no matter what method he uses. ■ He Qing and Su Guang stayed in Mount Yu for three days. Except for meeting Ye Cangyan on the first day they arrived, they never saw each other again. One of Ye Cangyan's wolf demon subordinates told them that Ye Cangyan had something to do recently and couldn't leave. He would come to apologize after he was done. During this period, He Qing and the others could move freely in Yushan. He Qing had a vague guess that Ye Cangyan was most likely waiting for news. After all, she, the leader of an immortal sect, appeared in Yushan with the young master of the demon sect. He would definitely be suspicious and would have to investigate what happened outside Yushan before taking any action. Sure enough, on the fourth day, Ye Cangyan found He Qing and the other man strolling in Baihua Valley. They were wearing jade crowns, green robes and black cloaks, and their expressions were no longer as cautious as on the first day. Finally, one could see some of the aura of the Demon King. Ye Cangyan greeted He Qing and asked, "Is Sect Leader He Qing's aphonia better?" He Qing smiled and said, "Thanks to the flower dew recommended by the Demon Lord, I got better that night." “That’s good.” Ye Cangyan nodded and asked, “Will you two follow me? Shall we find a place to sit down and chat?” Ye Cangyan took the two of them to a pavilion at the highest point of Mount Yu. The terrain of Mount Yu was relatively flat, without any towering mountains. This highest point was just an ordinary hillside, but most of the scenery of Mount Yu could be seen from it. Ye Cangyan dismissed his attendants and personally poured a cup of flower tea for He Qing and Su Guang, introducing: "I picked this tea myself from the Hundred Flowers Valley. It's not a very good tea, you two can try it." He Qing emptied his teacup without hesitation, stood up and said, "I was just dragged here to keep you company. If you want to talk about business, I'd better stay away." "Wait a minute," Ye Cangyan stopped He Qing and said in a deep voice, "Master He Qing, I think you should also sit down and talk."
