Chapter 176: Clearly recognize the path of immortality
Shuttling through this building, in order to alleviate the bad emotions of being pulled by these "ghosts", he let himself remind himself of the past appearance of this building. The reason why Yin Qixiu has always been angry about his father's transfer of this restaurant to the imperial court is because he has special feelings for the original "Ruyi Restaurant".
When he was a child, every time he came here, the adults would mention to him that this restaurant was born in the same year as him, and his full moon wine was held here, and at that time his father proudly held his youngest son to toast all over the building, and all the people present at that time, including Yin Chengyuan, who was ten years old at that time, and Yin Shaochu, who was six years old, still remembered that it was the happiest time they had ever seen his father......
Then when they grow up, they will make their father angry, and they will run here whenever they can't stay at home, and the three brothers are like this, because it is their favorite uncle who runs this restaurant, and the uncle is a concubine, who has no intention of fame, is indifferent to fame and fortune, never married, only loves fine wine, and loves them children. The three brothers made a mistake and came to this building to ask their uncle for help, and hid in their uncle's underground cellar, which contained countless jars of peerless wine, many of which were made by their uncle......
In his youth, his father was often very gentle, and never regarded them as concubines, Xiu Mu often took the three of them to the lake to fish, and almost every month they would come to this Ruyi Restaurant father and son gathering, listening to the eldest brother talk about the various troubles he encountered when he first entered the company, and listening to the second brother say which book he had just read and what fun he found......
Two years earlier, my uncle had died of his favorite drink – drinking too much and vomiting blood. When he was found, he was lying on a large vat in the cellar, next to which a jar of rose dew had just been brewed and half of it had not had time to be sealed.
After that, the underground cellar was sealed, and thousands of jars of wine were forgotten by the world with their uncle.
And he can't forget.
……
Brushing aside the runic cloth that hung like a hanged ghost, he walked to the staircase on the third floor, stepping on the viscous liquid on the ground and walking up.
The guard who had come in with him had gone up the stairs from the other side at his command, and looked everywhere, after all, they were much better than him, and they had become more courageous, and they were much faster than him, and they had already gone down from that side and began to search for the second time.
He shone the corners with a fire fold, the light was dim, he looked down at the liquid on the ground, showing a disgusted expression, on the first floor, he stepped on it, it was animal blood, pretending to be human blood was scary, smelling very fishy, disgusting. At this moment, the surrounding area is even more terrifying, and you can vaguely see that there is a dark liquid on the pillars of the corridor, flowing slowly downward, one by one, silently extending to the ground, and merging into a pool in the corner of the wall full of debris or fake bones......
He went up to the top floor, and had not yet found the target of his search, one hand had been holding the short knife at his waist, and after a while, he had a keen sense of hearing, and he faintly heard the sound of gradual footsteps outside the building, it was the sound of the sergeant marching, and his reinforcements were about to arrive......
Where is that "ghost" hiding?
He looked around intently, sniffed the smell of the building carefully, and found that the fishy smell was almost gone, and gradually it became clear that there was a strong smell of oil and alcohol......
He then used the fire fold to shine on the puddle of liquid on the ground, and suddenly realized that these were not blood, but oil!
Castor oil specially used for incineration!
The doors and windows were tightly sealed with cotton felt, and the building was full of cloth charms......
And the countless jars of aged spirits underground!
"Run!"
As soon as his exclamation fell, a fire fold fell on the top floor corridor, and then a figure flashed in front of him, and a scorching fire lit up, and the man's hand was scattered, and many fire folds fell, and the first floor, the second floor, and the third floor instantly ignited a fire.
The figure moved rapidly in front of it, and the flames moved and vanished.
Everything around Yin Qixiu burned, everywhere was surrounded by flames, and he ran in all directions-
However, there is no way out.
The corridor burned one by one, and he desperately tried to put out the fire, over the wall of fire, but the fire was continuous, eternal......
Suddenly, the original dark building was lit up by fire, and it was clear everywhere, and those terrible and not terrible were swallowed up by tongues of fire and extinguished.
He was so smoky that he couldn't open his eyes, his mind was dizzy, and in a trance he heard what seemed to be someone calling him, it was the voice of the guard, but the voice was getting farther and farther away, and neither of them could find each other in the fire.
He couldn't grab any help, and all he was met with was a desperate fire......
The "ghost building" was on fire, burning the Chang'an Street at night, the surrounding people and businesses were lit up, the "ghost building" was a single house, there were no other tall buildings around, and the people in the houses affected by the fire had been evacuated in time. People ran out to put out the fire, and in the noise, the men and horses brought by the Yin brothers also arrived.
They were shocked by the scene in front of them, they didn't know the situation in the building, this fire overturned everything they had originally designed, and made them overwhelmed, looking around, but they didn't see Yin Qixiu's figure, Yin Chengyuan and Yin Shaochu shouted, "Qi Xiu!
They never wanted to imagine Yin Qixiu in this building......
However, when two people covered in fire rushed out of the door of the 'ghost building', their last luck was shattered.
The most seriously injured were the guards who went in with Yin Qixiu, and the other was the guard who stood at the door and went in to save people when he saw the fire, but he only rescued his companions and did not find Yin Qixiu.
Everyone helped them extinguish the fire, they burned all over their bodies, and shouted to the Yin brothers with their last strength: "Childe! Childe! Childe is still inside! Save Childe!"
Yin Chengyuan suddenly felt like he was burned by the flames, and roared heartbreakingly, he wanted to rush to the fire regardless of it, but was stopped by Yin Shaochu, Yin Shaochu was also very anxious, but a trace of reason still existed, he hurriedly said: "The eldest brother is the head of the family, and he can't afford to lose! I'll go! I'll save Qi Xiu!"
The others helped to pull Yin Chengyuan, Yin Shaochu quickly looked for someone to get water, and the housekeeper of the Yin family also stopped him, and a group of guards looked for water everywhere, preparing to wet themselves instead of Yin Shaochu to go in to save people.
When they were protecting each other and pulling in chaos, Lu Yuansi snatched a bucket of water, she resolutely poured the whole bucket of cold water from her head, and went straight to the fire while they were defenseless.
When she saw the fire going on, she was completely confused, she didn't know what she was doing.
When she came to this 'ghost building', she knew that everything had been turned upside down tonight.
And she lost completely.
She thought they were catching turtles in the urn, but in fact, they were leading the king into the urn.
The cold water was cold and biting, pouring down on her head, like a slap in the face that reality had rewarded her, making her dizzy and forgetful.
Shock, shame, unwillingness, despair?
At this moment, she just didn't want the man to die.
When she went to the fire alone, she didn't think about anything else, and she didn't have time to think about anything else.
Everyone saw her figure disappear at the entrance of the fire without hesitation, like a feather arrow, desperate and fearless.
Yin Shaochu chased after him, but the fire became more and more intense, and it burst out of the door, and a blazing heat wave took the people who wanted to approach to the ground.
It was the underground cellar that exploded, and the wall behind the gate collapsed and blocked the door.
None of them could go in again.
……
Lu Yuansi is still alive.
She rushed to the second floor in time, and when the cellar exploded, she rolled to the corner, because the water on her body was not consumed by the fire, and her limbs were grinding out bloody wounds on the ground, which was painful, and the soot in her nasal cavity made it even more difficult for her to breathe.
She watched the tongues of fire chase after her, knowing that she couldn't stay or she would be burned in the next moment.
Pain, proof alive.
She wants to live, she can't die.
She got up from the ground, covered her mouth and nose, bent over, and ran forward, coughing and shouting, "Qi Xiu!"
Yin Qixiu was besieged on the top floor, there was no place to set foot around, he shrunk his body and moved with difficulty, his consciousness gradually detached from him, he was exhausted, he couldn't breathe, and there was no pain in his body.
But he's not dead.
The voice in the fire woke him up, and he could hear it so clearly, it was her.
Her voice evoked his desire to survive, and he had the strength to escape the tongue of fire, and responded to her voice: "Yuan Xin! Yuan Xin! I'm here...... No, you go, get out of here!"
Leave!
He used his last desire to survive to support himself and keep shouting this sentence.
Lu Yuansi heard his voice, tears flowed down her face, tears mixed with the dirty water on her face seeped into the scars on her face, the stinging pain was unbearable, and she couldn't give up.
She searched for him in the vast sea of fire, and listened to his voice as she advanced: "Qi Xiu! Qi Xiu! I'm coming! I'm coming!"
Lu Yuansi took off her soaked coat, fought the fire in front of her, and passed through the wall of fire, she kept waving her arms and fighting the relentless fire with her heavy coat.
She felt like she was running out of strength, her hands and legs were covered in her own blood, and the fire scorched the ends of her hair and destroyed everything about her.
She prayed in her heart, Father, brother, sister, you have a spirit in heaven, can you bless me again?
Or do you think that's the end?
All right.
At that moment, she could accept it.
When it was all over, when she was gone, she was going to take that person's hand and go with her family......
That doesn't seem like a bad thing.
It's so tiring to be alive, Qi Xiu, let's go......
Go to my father, go to my brother......
She climbed the crumbling staircase to the top floor, getting closer and closer to Yin Qixiu's voice.
Finally, they met.
Her hand was in his hands, like the night they first met.
Two scarred and ashen men hugged each other, and everything around them was collapsing.
Seeing her coming through the sea of fire, Yin Qixiu felt that he was alive and dead again.
He cried and blamed her, "Why did you come in? Do you know what you're doing? Do you know you're going to die?"
"I don't know! I don't know anything!" she shook her head vigorously in his arms, hugging him with all her might.
His heart hurt more than any scar on his body, "Aren't you good outside? Don't you hate our Yin family? Aren't you just using me? Why do you want to save me? Don't you take revenge? Don't you want to live? Lu Yuansi!"
At such moments, he finally roared out everything.
The hideous wounds on her body shattered his will, how he wanted her to never be here.
Lu Yuansi raised his head, smiled brightly, and said with a resolute and brave look, "Yin Qixiu, I lied to you and deceived you and played with you, I am extremely evil, I am heinous, I can only pay for it by accompanying you to death!"
Yin Qixiu burst into tears, laughed, looked at her, his heart had never been so happy, and shook his head: "No, we won't die here." ”
His words rekindled her hope.
He breathed a sigh of relief, pointed to the other end of the hallway, and said, "There's an exit there...... I saw that the killer got out there...... There should be a window in that place that is not closed...... I've been trying to get closer to ......."
Chance.
Lu Yuansi looked at the fire-filled corridor in front of her, and the fires were burning more and more fiercely in all directions, and she smiled.
It turns out that the three visits are nothing more than that......
They immediately went over there, using Lu Yuansi's wet clothes to beat the flames on the ground, dodging the collapsed beams and pillars together, and they used their last will to get closer to that chance of life.
In times of despair, she can't think of anything else, and has boundless courage to live and die with this person.
But when the turning point came, she couldn't help but think of other ......
"Yin Qixiu, after we go out, will we still be together?"
When she asked this, he clearly hesitated, did not stop helping her put out the fire, nor did he answer her immediately.
She followed him across the mountains of fire, but she couldn't cross the chasm that had been torn apart between them.
He coughed so much from the smoke that he finally relieved his breath, and turned his head to look at her sadly: "If you are Yuanxin, we can be together forever......"
Her heart suddenly became cold and cold, and she said in a low voice: "It's a pity that I'm Lu Yuansi......"
"Father has found out your identity, and he doesn't allow Lu Yuansi to stay...... He's afraid that people will know about you...... Afraid that the Yin family will be implicated...... And I can't take the Yin family's risk...... Not to mention...... This is my father's last ......"
So, will she be abandoned in the end?
At this moment, she felt that she was really a little stupid to break into this fire and suffer from this.
The raging fire downstairs climbs upwards like a fierce beast, tearing everything apart and destroying everything.
With multiple burns on their bodies, they were getting closer and closer to that exit, and as long as they hit that window and jump out, they would not be burned to death, they would be saved......
But none of this has anything to do with her.
In an extremely painful environment, at a moment of disappointment, she couldn't see her way out.
A piece of burning wood fell from above, and they dodged it, squeezing into the less burning verandah, the railings around it had been burned.
When she made a mistake, she let go of his hand and suddenly said, "Qi Xiu, you go first." ”
Yin Qixiu turned his head in surprise, glanced at her, and stretched out his hand to hold her again.
She also extended her hand to him, but this time it was not in his hands......
Between the lightning and flint, she pushed violently, Yin Qixiu fell backwards, his body was weightless, and the whole person fell into the sea of fire, and was engulfed in flames in an instant......
