The forks of the trees kept piercing out of the dirt like barbs, and the heads of the people dangling from the treetops swayed from side to side. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Zhao Ran climbed out of the coffin, experienced the unlit alley of corpses, the gloomy dream of the separation of human souls, experienced the demonized Li Mo, and experienced the fishing lake full of cannibal pomfrets, and still never thought that he would one day meet a big tree full of human heads.

He also thought that after meeting Li Mo and seeing the pomfret all over the lake, his teeth would not fight anymore.

Jiuru jumped between the sharp tree thorns with Zhaoran on his back, and after a few rabbit starts, it seemed to be far away from the place, but when Zhaoran turned his head, the big tree was still close at hand, and the spikes kept breaking out of the ground one after another behind them.

Sharp thorns kept piercing from their feet, almost brushing their hair and skin, and in Mingran's ears he could even feel the whistling wind when the spikes broke through the earth, Jiuru ran fast, but after a while those sharp branches still overtook them, and the dead branches of the forest on the left and right surrounded them like a fence.

Jiuru finally let go and said, "You run first!"

Zhaoran inexplicably felt a sense of life and death in his heart, and he shook his head desperately: "I'm not leaving, Jiuru, let's go together!"

No, it's not like that, they're going to have a turnaround!

Because twenty years later, Jiuru is still a Buddha high on the National Teacher Tower.

Jiuru's clothes were torn, his hair was a little messy, and the ground was still shaking because the branches kept piercing out of the ground, but he seemed to stay in place, shaking him anxiously: "Jiuru, Jiuru, let's go!"

Under the residual sun, the withered branches were dyed with a hint of roses.

"Go this way!" a rope descended from the sky, followed by a shout.

Hearing the voice, he was overjoyed: "It's Meng Chengtian!"

But Jiuru was still looking at the corner of the sky dyed red by the remnant sun, and Zhaoran hurriedly said with the rope: "Sir, let's go out!"

Jiuru looked down at Zhao Ran, and finally took the rope in his hand, and then as soon as the people on that side exerted their strength, they flew out along the spikes of Sensen, and the crimson mound was covered with branches and vertical spikes, only avoiding a round piece of black dirt, which looked like a collapsed horn from a distance.

On the dirt stood Meng Chengtian with his hands behind his back, he looked a little haggard, but he still did not lose the style of a noble son.

"Sir, don't come to harm!" Meng Chengtian waited for them to fall to the ground, and still gave a courtesy and thoughtful salute, but this salute seemed to be more ridiculous than respectful in Zhaoran's eyes.

Jiuru said lightly: "Thank you for the rescue." ”

Zhao Ran opened his mouth and asked, "Where is this?"

Meng Chengtian lowered his head and grabbed a handful of dirt and said with a smile: "This is called the afterlife, I found it." At first, I just thought it looked like the soil was a little different, and I thought there was some new mine hidden in it, but then I realized that whatever was buried under it would soon disappear without a trace in the next moment, as if it had moved to another place, so I called it the Land of the Dead. The place is expanding every year, and when I found it, it was only three feet long and wide, but now it is a hundred feet away. ”

"Because it's like a hole underneath, the big tree in the book city can't take root here. Zhao Ran said.

Meng Chengtian threw away the soil in his hand and smiled: "That's right. ”

Zhao Ran felt that his smile was meaningful, I was afraid that most of what he said was not true, but now that they were under the roof, even Zhao Ran couldn't bear it a little.

"We've built a stronghold here, and if you don't like it, you can go inside and change your clothes and take a break. Meng Chengtian said.

Jiuru, who had been looking at the spiked forest outside the dirt, nodded and said, "It's okay." ”

When Jiuru entered the cave, the corners of Meng Chengtian's mouth curved slightly: "I thought you didn't cooperate with others because you had something to rely on, but you ended up so embarrassed, didn't I think a little too highly of you." ”

Zhao Ran tilted his head: "Many years ago, you found out that the book city was wrong." ”

Meng Chengtian looked at the branches outside that were still stretching and said: "It's just a feeling, when you feel that you are out of step with this world, there is always one that is wrong, you are wrong, or the world is wrong, I choose to believe the latter." ”

This man is really arrogant.

"Enjoy everything here, you may not believe it, but I've got it all. Meng Chengtian smiled, turned around and entered the cave.

Zhaoran followed behind him: "Then what do you think is the problem in the book city?"

Meng Chengtian didn't hide it: "Do you remember that I told you that General Taiyin's ability is time, right?"

"Of course I do. ”

"If General Taiyin wants to be resurrected, he will definitely leave himself a door of time from the past to the present. ”

As they spoke, Zhaoran suddenly felt that his eyes lit up, as if the willows were bright, and the light of the cave lit up...... He raised his head and saw that the walls were surrounded by mountains, only a corner of the sky was exposed, like a deep well, but in this deep well, there were pavilions and pavilions, and there was everything as Meng Chengtian said.

What made Zhao Ran speechless was that Meng Chengtian actually carved a stone statue of himself with great interest, standing at the mouth of the stone wall, looking down on all the people who came in.

Zhao Ran said: "Do you think that the gate of time is in the book city." ”

A barefoot maid came over with a wine tray, Meng Chengtian took a glass of wine from her plate, touched her Rouyi casually, and then replied to Zhaoran: "I think the book city is an entrance." Zhaoran's heart skipped a few beats, and Meng Chengtian continued, "So the academy represents the past, and General Taiyin can return to this entrance through the Rugao Order, and then lead from it to the time he wants." ”

"Where did you get this news from? ”

Meng Chengtian took a sip of wine: "There are two places with the most information in this world, one is at the entrance and the other is at the exit, that is, the book city is the entrance, but this information used to be like fragments, and I slowly pieced it together through a long time." ”

"Then you must not have missed Shen Fanglone. ”

Meng Chengtian smiled slightly: "Of course, the information he provided for the living is very interesting. ”

"What do you think of the living?"

Meng Chengtian turned his head and glanced at Zhao Ran, and leisurely tasted the wine in his hand: "I think you should already have the answer in your heart, even if the past and present were left by General Taiyin, then the living must also be born because of General Taiyin." ”

The door behind him squeaked, Jiuru changed into clean clothes and came out, Meng Chengtian looked at Jiuru and said, "Do you have a sudden feeling every time you see Mr., why is other people's time passing, but he won't!"

Zhaoran frowned: "What do you want to say?"

Meng Chengtian looked at Jiuru and said, "Have you ever thought that he is the biggest flaw in this world." ”

"He is one of the supporters of this academy, but he doesn't know where he came from, he doesn't seem to belong to this world, he is only here to wait for someone, and his existence is sometimes just to remind others that there is something wrong with this world. Meng Chengtian sneered, "Just like me, my family has undergone great changes, my father died and my mother was mourned, but I am not sad at all, as if I know that this is just a play on a certain stage, and what I want to know more is what is the truth behind this stage." ”

Meng Chengtian held the wine glass in his hand: "This truth is just like Shen Fanglin said, maybe it is hidden behind the little saint of the academy." ”

Zhao Ran rolled his eyes: "Even if this world collapses, I will never allow you to hurt him!"

Jiuru walked over, changed his clothes, and he seemed to be clean again: "What are you talking about?"

"We're talking about what we're going to do with that demon tree next. Zhao Ran said.

Meng Chengtian was a little excited, shook the wine in the cup and said: "If I want to deal with you, I just have wine today and get drunk today." ”

As he spoke, he left, smiling meaningfully at Zhaoran as he left.

Zhao Ran and Jiu Ru came out of the cave again, looked at the spiked forest outside, and said, "Sir, I think this place after death must not be as simple as Meng Chengtian said. ”

Jiuru nodded: "Chengtian's personality is extremely conceited, and he is by no means a person who can be decadent and self-pitying. ”

As they were talking, they suddenly saw two people coming from the spiked forest opposite, one was middle-aged and had a pair of sheep's horns, and the other was a young man in white who was Shen Fanglone.

"The sheep is late. Jiuru was also a little surprised.

Shen Fangshan bowed slightly: "Sir." ”

Zhao Ran hurriedly glanced at Jiuru's expression, and saw that he didn't have any obvious concern, and his heart was relieved.

"Ah Xian. Jiuru returned the salute.

Shen Fangshan said: "Yang Wan Daoist accepted the student as a disciple, and named the disciple Fang Lone, and from today the disciple will not be called Ah Xian." ”

"The water is silent in the center of the moon. Perfect for you. "Nine as the road.

"Thank you, sir. Shen Fangxian turned to Zhao Ran and said, "Senior Brother Zhaoxian is fine." ”

"Of course I'm fine...... Zhao Ran thought about it and added with bad intentions: "But it's a little surprising that the two of you can actually get here, are you familiar with the human head tree outside?"

When he said this, he remembered Lu Tian, who was still in the book city, and couldn't help but worry a little.

Yang Wan didn't blame Zhao Ran, but pinched his beard and said: "We are also surprised by this, and now I think it is probably because of the loopholes here that the academy cannot be calmed down as usual." ”

"Calm?" Zhao Ran couldn't help but ask.

"According to the news circulating in Zhuzi Town, every time the Book City Human Head Tree appears, it will eliminate the cause and effect of all the people in the Book City, clean up the memories of these people, and finally restore the Book City to its original appearance. ”

Zhao Ran only felt a cold sweat break out on his back: "You said that even those who died will continue to live in the book city again." ”

Those people, the frivolous Yinniang, the vain Mama Song, the ruthless and helpless Mrs. Meng, the extremely selfish Meng Qingwan, the obscene Fan Shechang, the bookstore keeper who is bent on revenge, those who died sadly, and then they will come back to life again, and continue to live in the book city as if nothing happened, like a living puppet.
