Chapter 22: The Legend of the Witch

Although the shadow swordsman Jing Yan failed to kill Zhou Tianci, but no one could stop him if he wanted to leave, he turned his head and looked at Jing Tong, his calm face made it impossible to see whether he was happy or angry, the two brothers looked at each other, Jing Yan threw down and said, "Take care of your injuries!"

quickly disappeared in front of everyone, Dugu Meng pointed to Zhou Tianci, who was carefully observing the saber, and said, "Why didn't you kill him?"

Zhou Tianci retracted his gaze and looked at Dugu Meng with a smile, "Girl, why do you want to kill him? ”

Dugu Meng got angry when he heard it, the eldest lady's temper was not a joke, "He came to kill you, have you forgotten?"

"But I'm still standing here!"

Zhou Tianci put away his saber and spread his hand with an innocent expression, Dugu Meng looked at Zhou Tianci and stomped his feet angrily as if nothing had happened, "I'll let you kill him now, and I'll let my father pass you ten questions on the sword technique." ”

The little girl's temper came up and took care of it so much, Zhou Tianci walked up to Dugu Meng and said: "I know that your father is a famous Great Sword Saint, maybe your father takes care of you very much and spoils you very much, but we won't." ”

Saying that, Zhou Tianci picked up his saber and walked towards the outside of the Empty Knowledge Valley, Dugu Meng looked back at Jing Tong, the senior brother was already seriously injured, and his strength was limited, so he could only endure the grievances and dare not cry loudly, silently shedding tears.

Seeing that Zhou Tianci was leaving, Lu Yun hurriedly caught up a few steps and asked, "Where are you going?"

Zhou Tianci didn't stop, waved his hand without looking back: "I'm going to Yinshan Town to find the witch Qingyan, my mind is empty, I think there should remind me of something." ”

Seeing Zhou Tianci walking farther and farther, Lu Yun mustered up the courage to ask, "Will you come back?"

Zhou Tianci's heart seemed to be hit twice by these two questions, it seemed that many people had asked themselves this question in the past days, and in an instant unknown sadness crept into his heart, Zhou Tianci stopped and said loudly: "Yes! Believe me!"

He didn't dare to look back at the familiar and unfamiliar face of Green Cloud, because he must have known this face many years ago, and although the appearance is the same now, his soul is not as familiar as the person before, although Zhou Tianci can't remember that name is Bai Yourou, but this familiar face is hard to forget, his mind is full of the sound and smile of this face, whether it is the way he laughs or the way he cries, it is not Green Cloud, Zhou Tianci knows that he must be another person who makes him familiar and memorable.

The white snow pear blossoms are scattered, and the people under the pear blossom tree do not appear;

The old things of the past are walking in front of you, and I don't know what revenge people will take revenge on?

Zhou Tianci followed the road out of the empty valley, all the way to Yinshan Town, the official road of sixty years ago no longer exists, the messy reborn thatch occupies the original smooth road, the abandoned post station, the dilapidated wall, the plaque is the ancient characters of Zhou Mengze's period, written Yinshan Post Station, after many years back here, the sadness of things and people makes Zhou Tianci's heart extremely desolate.

Walking into the post house in the dilapidated, rotten wood, collapsed house walls, quiet and cold, Zhou Tianci found a place to settle in the corner, sat down after a simple tidying up, walked for a day and was tired, and after a while he fell asleep in a daze, in the dream he returned to the pear tree, the pear blossoms of the tree were replaced by snow, and the woman in yellow Duan Bingbing was nowhere to be seen, Zhou Tianci was asking himself, "Is this a dream?

There is only one person under the pear tree, the snowflakes in the sky are desolate, the cold wind penetrates the bones, Zhou Tianci looked at the emptiness around him and squatted down to hug himself with both hands, rubbing the thin clothes on his body, there is nothing more lonely than now, the cold crawls all over his body, and his heart seems to be gradually frozen, he can only sit down against the pear tree.

"Will you be sad too?"

The person who came was silent, and the voice of the voice was also very unfamiliar, Zhou Tianci was happy to think that it was Duan Bingbing, and hurriedly got up to look at the cold, only to see black and white clothes, messy and dry hair, let the wind and snow blow, Zhou Tianci blocked the wind and snow in front of him, and tried hard to see the woman clearly, but the more he wanted to see clearly, the more fierce the wind and snow became, "Who are you? This is my dream, but why can't I see you clearly?"

"You can't see the reason for it in yourself. ”

The woman's face was obscured by the increasingly heavy wind and snow, Zhou Tianci couldn't stand such a dense and strong snowstorm, and asked suspiciously and puzzledly: "In me, I want to make it stop, but it won't listen to me at all, aren't you making trouble?"

The woman shook her head and said, "It's not me, it's your own heart that hasn't been fully opened, as for who I am, you should know in your heart, because I'm the person you want to see the most." ”

Zhou Tianci stopped struggling, and thought about it carefully, could the person he wanted to see the most be Duan Bingbing? No, if it was Duan Bingbing, why couldn't he see his face?

Zhou Tianci thought of the purpose of his trip, and asked tentatively, "Are you Qingyan?"

The woman nodded, and Zhou Tianci then asked, "Then why don't you let me see your appearance clearly?"

"Because you haven't remembered what I looked like. ”

"Then why did you come here to see me?"

"It's not that I'm here to see you, it's that you've always wanted to see me. ”

"Since you know that I want to see you, then you should also know that the person I want to see more is Duan Bingbing, I want to know why I didn't go to the appointment?"

When Qing Yan heard this, her heart seemed to be pinched hard, and the pain was comparable to remorse, "Could it be that only Duan Bingbing is the one you will never forget?"

"I can't remember!"

Zhou Tianci pressed his temples, and his head suddenly hurt badly, although it was in a dream, but it was so real, Qing Yan reminded: "If you remember, will you regret it then?"

Qing Yan has been fighting for Bai Yourou for sixty years, Zhou Tianci thought for a while and replied slowly: "I don't know." ”

Qing Yan looked at the sky and said, "Did you hear that? What he said was that I don't know, did you say that everything you did back then was worth it?"

Zhou Tianci also followed Qing Yan's gaze, but except for the white sky, there was nothing else flying in the sky, and when he saw that there was no change, he asked again: "Who are you talking to?"

Qing Yan said with some sadness: "Talk to the gods." ”

"Do the gods exist? Do you believe in them?"

Zhou Tianci asked tentatively, Qing Yan sneered and scolded sternly, "I didn't expect you to be so ignorant after the resurrection!"

"You know about my resurrection, tell me what else do you know?"

Zhou Tianci took two steps forward, but he did not close the distance between him and Qing Yan.

"There are some things that you have to think of for yourself, and I don't tell you that there is a purpose for those who resurrected you, and that purpose you want to accomplish. ”

Zhou Tianci was speechless for a while, he didn't know what he had done before, he couldn't remember what kind of guy he used to be, the only thing he could remember was Duan Bingbing who died waiting for him, and there was a woman who looked exactly like Luyun, but he couldn't remember, and the last thing he could remember was the Qing Yan who killed him in front of him, "Why did you kill me?"

Qing Yan looked up to the sky and smiled bitterly, and said to herself: "People have come back to life, but they are still a hateful and deserving fool, and they must not reflect or regret." ”

As he spoke, his tone changed, and he looked at the sky above him as if he was talking to someone, "Do you regret it?"

Zhou Tianci saw that Qing Yan suddenly shed tears, and was about to open his mouth to continue asking, but Qing Yan scolded sharply: "I just want to kill you, kill you a hundred times, a thousand times, ten thousand times to solve the hatred in my heart!"

Zhou Tianci was frightened by this scathing and terrifying voice, Qing Yan approached little by little, and the fierce aura made Zhou Tianci take two steps back, "What are you going to do?

Qing Yan turned the dream, the scene in front of Zhou Tianci changed and changed, and suddenly he fell on the bed, without a trace of strength, Qing Yan hugged herself, the cold dagger was close to her throat, for some reason she didn't have the slightest desire to survive, and kept shouting in her heart: "Kill me, kill me!"

The dagger slashed Zhou Tianci's throat, and hot blood flowed out, at this time Zhou Tianci suddenly felt a sense of relief, and heard Qing Yan say another name in his ears, "Yourou, is it worth it for you to do so much for him?"

That's right, the name that can't be remembered is Yourou, Zhou Tianci trembled and stretched out his arms to the sky, the illusion of a white dress seemed to be crying pear blossoms with rain, and the white and soft clothes seemed to be falling rapidly, and said: "I really want to see how you regret it!"

Zhou Tianci suddenly woke up from his dream, at this time it was already dark outside, and the night wind hit the simple and dilapidated post station even more desolate, "It turned out to be a dream, I didn't expect such a real dream." ”

Zhou Tianci touched his throat, and felt Qing Yan cut his throat twice, and it was so real, all this may only have an answer when he saw a witch, Zhou Tianci wrapped his clothes, rubbed his shriveled stomach twice, squinted his eyes, and fell asleep again.

When I woke up, the sky was already dark, I ate a mouthful of dry food brought out from the Empty Consciousness Valley and got up to continue on my way, and at noon I arrived at the boundary of Yinshan Town, and from a distance, it seemed that the most prosperous town sixty years ago had become a ruin, and the tallest smoke and rain building was only half of it, and the streets were in a mess, except for the crazy vines that were broken into two rotten planks.

Zhou Tianci involuntarily stepped forward, a strong wind suddenly appeared behind him, without the slightest hesitation, a palm hit Zhou Tianci's heart, the whole person snorted and flew straight out, only to hear the people behind him laugh, "I didn't expect you to be alive, sixty years, I can still see you, Zhou Tianci, I will kill you today to avenge my daughter!"

Zhou Tianci was stunned, endured the pain in his chest and turned over, only to see a white-haired old man squatting on the broken roof, wearing tattered clothes, his face was dirty and he couldn't see his face at all, like a mask.

"Is it a madman?"

Zhou Tianci didn't know who the old man was, but the old man recognized himself at once, and the old man suddenly jumped down from the roof with a toad, which instantly smashed the already broken roof under his feet, Zhou Tianci saw that the old man went straight to him and hurriedly got up and took two steps back.

The old man didn't say a word, his body was like a ghost, and he disappeared from Zhou Tianci's sight in two steps, and Zhou Tianci secretly screamed in his heart, "This body method is faster than the free step used by Dugu Meng, plus the strength of the old man's palm just now, it seems that it is difficult to escape again." ”

Zhou Tianci suddenly felt very sad, a few days after coming to this familiar and strange world, he didn't get anything right, he didn't know anyone, he didn't know anything, but the people he met knew him, some were waiting for him, some were ruthless, and he was going to kill himself when he saw him without saying anything.

"I've never seen my predecessors before, I don't know where to offend my seniors, why did I mercilessly kill the killer when we met for the first time!"

Zhou Tianci calmed down, quickly left the place, shouting while running, but where could he match the speed of the old man in these two steps, and the old man was directly pinched by the neck in two steps, the old man was dressed in tattered clothes, it seemed that he had not changed and washed for many years, and he could smell a fishy smell when he got close.

"Haven't seen it?"
