Volume 1: The Soul Burning Poem Chapter 17: Shooting the Wolf
Faust lifted his top hat on top of his head, and behind him, Aurora stood dumbfounded like a marionette with her eyes closed.
Seeing Faust appear, Mellon seemed to grasp a life-saving straw, like an old dog making a request to its owner: "Faust, save me." ”
Faust lowered his head and looked at him with pity: "Friend, I really want to help you. But, you don't have anything left to trade with me. ”
"No, I still have a soul. ”
"You have nothing left. Faust shook his head regretfully, "The 'key' is your ticket to this ball, and your followers are the food for the ceremony—as for your soul." Didn't you have that kind of thing 60 years ago? I don't take this kind of patchwork rags. ”
Mellon finally showed a look of despair, and the patchwork soul finally couldn't be maintained, and the whole person collapsed into a pool of viscous black liquid with unwillingness: "No, I haven't seen the 'Oblivion Corridor' yet, I haven't lived forever yet!"
Forgotten Promenade.
Qianzhou chewed on these four words repeatedly, and summoned the information from the depths of his mind.
[The Other End: The Forgotten Corridor].
The other side is an existence independent of the present world and the abyss. Again, the inappropriate analogy, if the abyss is the bottomless water, and the present world is the land on the sea, then the other side is the reflection of the stars in the sky in the sea. Both in the abyss and detached from the abyss. You can only get into it if you have the right way.
The history of the world is long, but there are always more forgotten than recorded. In this long history, all the history that has been completely forgotten and has no trace will leave an afterimage in the Forgotten Corridor.
What can be more complete than the records of the Forgotten Corridor is only in the theory, not confirmed, and not falsified.
So what was "salvaged" was the Forgotten Corridor? Qianzhou narrowed his eyes.
As if the face of Sichuan Opera had changed, the regret on Faust's face disappeared without a trace, and he reappeared with a commercial smile: "Child, we meet again." ”
"What did you do with Aurora. Completely ignoring Faust's mask-like hypocritical smile, Chishu questioned aloud.
Hearing this, Faust's expression became interested: "I should ask this sentence, she is also the child of my old friends." Why did I get along with you for a few days, and then I entered a period of disobedience and rebellion. ”
"Really?" Recalling the girl's confused look when they first met, Qianzhou showed a mocking look, "But I think that's growth, she's never a puppet at the mercy of others, she's a living person." ”
"Okay, if you're happy. Faust said in a childlike tone. No, it's more like the confident confidence of the winner.
"She was fine, because she wasn't very cooperative, so I let her sleep first. ”
"Then what are you chasing the Forgotten Corridor for? Did you finally find out that you have Alzheimer's and have a bad memory? Or have you forgotten what you are?"
This was the first time Faust had shown an unhappy look: "Then what do you say I'm for?" ”
Qianzhou wiped the dust on his face: "The forms of natural disasters are different, and what the essence is is for the time being. But there are still a few 'living creatures' like you who have a complete mind and wisdom. I guess you'd like to know where you came from and why you're doing this. ”
"You're right, but that's not all. Faust pinched the staff in his hand, "What is the world? What am I? What is the difference between this and a puppet on the stage? How can I bow my head to such a fate!"
"Then you're going to use the people of a city as a bargaining chip for you to rebel against fate?"
"I'm a villain, am I?" Faust smiled, "And this isn't the first time? ”
Watching Faust talk about the life and death of thousands of people without caring about it, Qianzhou was deeply aware that under his human skin was a soul full of twists and malice—no, whether there was a soul or not!
"So you have to witness the first appearance of the Forgotten Corridor. The dragon vein has been temporarily cut off by me, and I also went to the 100,000 mountains to wake up Su'e. Now the attention of the entire Qin State should be all there. ”
"Well, excuse me. An Zhe suddenly spoke up, raising his hand timidly like a student interrupting the teacher in class, "If you say the dragon vein, the dragon vein woke up briefly not long ago. I took advantage of that time to spread the news, calculate the time, Xuanxing Pavilion should have received it a long time ago. ”
As if in response to An Zhe's words, the sky in the north suddenly glowed red, and a red meteor flew towards the clouds from north to south, burning the entire sky red.
Looking at Faust's stunned expression, Qianzhou smiled, and smiled very happily.
............
Half a quarter ago, Xuanxing Pavilion.
"Teacher, it's true. Although everything is normal on the "Kanyu Map", in fact, the clouds have completely lost contact. Wei Si said to the old man with a solemn expression.
The old man frowned and slowly extinguished the cigarette in his hand.
"Teacher, now that the power on the surface has gone to the 100,000 mountains, do you want to ......?"
"No need. The old man waved his hand, "Go and get my bow." ”
"But—"
"It's fine. The old man stood up and walked to the window. Thousands of lights outside the window are full of stars.
After a while, Wei Si handed the bow into the old man's hand.
The bow was more than four feet long, and the body was a dull brass, and the patterns on it had been blurred by rubbing, and it was impossible to distinguish the shape.
The old man took one of the feathered arrows that Wei Si handed him and slowly pulled the bow away.
Looking at the scenery of His Excellency Xuanxing's imperial capital, the old man's gaze couldn't help but be a little confused.
How many years have you had, and when did you first come to the imperial capital?
The old man thought like this, and his thoughts couldn't help but go back to the time when he was young and the white horse in Tsing Yi and ten streets fighting wine. It's just that the girl in red in the smoke and rain is no longer there.
"Drink. The old man let out a low roar, and the heavy longbow was drawn into a full moon, and the vague pattern suddenly became vivid, and the phoenix could be vaguely seen cruising. The bowstring also made a low "buzzing" sound as if it had come to life, and it seemed to be excited.
Let's see—
The old man chatted about the madness of youth, holding the bow and shooting the wolf!
An invisible hand was born out of thin air, stirring up the great source of the imperial capital, and almost setting off a huge storm. Half of the Qin Realm's transcendent beings couldn't help but look up in the direction of Xuanxing Pavilion, with a look of awe and trepidation on their faces.
It was the Kingdom, and in this time when the Abyss was not visible, they were no different from the gods who walked on the earth!
The next moment, a red meteor flew out from the upper floor of the Xuanxing Pavilion and crossed the land of the Qin Kingdom.
Just like Xihe's golden luan, where the meteor flies by, the red light suddenly appears, dispelling the boundless night and hiding thousands of stars. Unabashedly shot towards the curtain that obscured the clouds.
............
"Then Faust, how much power do you have left?" Qianzhou asked gloatingly as he looked at the red meteors that were getting closer and closer, "It's not easy to cover the clouds, cut off the dragon veins, and awaken Su'e, not to mention the injuries you were injured when you took out the 'bookmark' from the abyss a thousand years ago." ”
Faust glanced coldly at Qianzhou and spoke to himself.
Faust speaks at an unhurried pace, but every word seems to be crowded together at the same time and uttered at the same time, so that those who can hear it can hear it clearly.
He said, "Stop, O time. For you are magnificent, in comparison with everything (Verweile doch, du bist so schön). ”
