Chapter 323: Doom (4)
"I once heard that there is a 10,000-year-old forbidden place under the Immortal Mountain, where the legendary immortals are guarded day and night, and no one can set foot in this place and get out alive, what kind of place is it?" Ling Yun asked curiously.
"You don't have to be curious, when you get there, you will know what it is like, for me, it is just an ordinary place, and it may be a nightmare that you will never forget. Xin Ci said.
"There...... It's terrible there, there are a few fierce executioners, and all of them, if they are sent there, they will die. Qiu Ying said nervously, her eyes had been looking at Ling Yun worriedly, although he said that he was going back to another world, and he was not afraid, but she still vaguely felt a bad mood in the depths.
"Don't talk nonsense, Ying'er, this guy is just going where he's supposed to be. Xin Ci said.
The three of them walked through the dark jungle, and suddenly saw a light in front of them, it turned out that the forest had reached the end, and they came to the clearing in the middle of the forest, and a tall cyan stone wall appeared in front of them, blocking the way to continue walking.
"Hmph, obviously boasting that he is impregnable, no one dares to break in, but along the way, he didn't even see an ant insect blocking the way, which is also impregnable, and there is almost no defense in the outer layer, and mortals go back after hunting in the forest, but I am afraid that they will come and go freely. Xin Ci looked at the tall stone wall and sneered.
"Who said that we are poorly prepared, then I won't open the door today, and you can try to break in yourself?" On the stone wall, a huge human face was highlighted, as if it was a relief portrait engraved on the stone wall, but every facial muscle rounded stroke, no more than a peerless craftsman in the world could carve it, there could only be an explanation, this human face is the natural face of life.
Ling Yun was originally feeling the tight seams of this stone wall, almost no gaps could be seen, the wall nearly 100 zhang high seemed to be one, without any signs of splicing and gluing, and suddenly a huge human face protruded on it, even the sensation of eyebrows was so real, every hair appeared on the stone texture of the wall, if it was said that the face in front of him was a dead thing, he would never believe it, the change in the expression of that face was no different from a person, but I was afraid that this was another monster with strange abilities.
"Hmph, a monster made of stone, worthy of talking to me, actually trying to provoke me? If you don't open the door today, you won't open it, and then the city lord will blame it, it's not my fault, bringing the person he longed for day and night, but he was blocked by a broken stone guarding the door, I don't know if you think about it, will it be demolished to pave the road in the future or put it in the pit for footing?" Xin Ci said.
The face of the person on the stone wall frowned, and said, "Do you mean that this woman is the person the city lord wants, or is it the man who does rough work?"
Ling Yun was wearing a short dress, which was the makeup of a person who did rough work, no wonder this stone wall would recognize the wrong person, and he was not angry in his heart, if this stone wall was angered by Xin Ci's knife mouth and did not let them in, it would be the best result, so that he would not have to worry about the end of his death.
"Your city lord's thoughts, can't you even guess, have you been left out in the cold to this point now? Of course it's this stinky man, if it wasn't for your city lord, why would I take him thousands of miles here? Who would bring such a stinky man all the way?" Xin Ci said.
"Hmph, you wait here, I've already sent someone to report to the city lord, whether to let you in, the city lord will have an idea. The stone wall returned to its original state of flattening and seamlessness, and the horrible human face was gone.
"I didn't think that I hadn't been here for a few years, and the Heavenly City had become so closed and backward, and I still had to wait for the transmission of a message, I didn't know that those outside already had a spirit rhino, even if they were thousands of miles away, they could sense each other's information at any time, and they were not many steps ahead of you!" Xin Ci said.
Stonewall ignored her cynicism, as if he had fallen asleep completely, not moving.
Perhaps the stone wall was not satisfied with her attitude, and did not want to provoke her to leave, so he deliberately tortured her, withheld the news of her arrival and did not send it to the city lord, and refused to let her into the city.
Xin Ci is not a woman who can tolerate this kind of snubbing, a subtle sneer appeared at the corner of her mouth, looking at the stone wall, looking confident, as if she had already thought of a countermeasure in her heart.
"If I'm not mistaken, your name in this world is Ling Yun, isn't it, then what is your original name?" Xin Ci suddenly took the initiative to talk to Ling Yun, and the content of the conversation actually had a human touch, the topic she took the initiative to talk about before was either sarcasm or mockery, there had never been such normal content, although the tone was still arrogant and disdainful, but Ling Yun still felt flattered like sitting on pins and needles.
"The original world?" Suddenly mentioning that distant world, Ling Yun seemed to have some amnesia, this is like a person who has experienced two lives, and suddenly mentions your past life, there are both reasons for not adapting and reasons for forgetting, in short, he is trying to recall, struggling to search for past memory fragments from the ocean of memory.
"My name, this, I was originally called Ling ...... Ling Yigeng. Ling Yundao, mentioning this name that was once so familiar that it could no longer be familiar, was a little unfamiliar and awkward.
"Ling Yigeng? haha, why don't you call Ling Ergeng? Could it be that you were born in Yigeng, that's why you are called this name, your parents are too casual? As soon as Xin Ci heard this name, he couldn't help but laugh out loud, and there was no special irony in that laughter, but it was simply funny.
"Why do you ask me my name, what does this have to do with you?" Ling Yun said inexplicably.
"It's nothing, I just want you to shout three times in this heavenly city, your original name, there will definitely be a miracle. Xin Ci said.
"What kind of miracle will happen, can you still release me?" Ling Yun smiled bitterly.
"Perhaps, I've already told you, since it's a miracle, who can say for sure, I don't know what kind of miracle it will be. Xin Ci said.
In desperation, Ling Yun had to do what Xin Ci said, and shouted the old name of "Ling Yigeng" three times to the city, he vaguely remembered that this name was given by his grandmother who had no culture, and the word "Geng" was in the dialect of Lingyun's hometown, which has the meaning of smooth sailing, smooth sailing, and the old man's name is naturally meant to hope that his life will be smooth sailing without any setbacks, but today's scene is completely contrary to the old man's expectations.
Ling Yun thought of this period of the past, and had to secretly smile bitterly, hoping that as Xin Ci said, these three voices and one song could smoothly appear to save his miracle, instead of entering the city in despair to die.
"I've finished shouting my name, and it doesn't seem like any miracle has happened. Ling Yun looked back at Xin Ci suspiciously, hoping that she could give a reasonable explanation.
But Xin Ci turned his head over, and what was happening in front of him immediately came into his eyes, as if Xin Ci no longer needed any explanation, and a miracle really happened.
The huge stone wall immediately melted to the ground like a pile of mud, and flowed into the earth, and the nearly 100-zhang high wall disappeared without a trace at once, and in front of him was a white cloud and shrouded in the sky.
"Ling Yigeng, hahaha, such a familiar name, you have been staying here for half a year, I don't know how you are doing, is it a lot of girls, how is it, my brother is good to you, let you keep the boy body for more than 20 years suddenly broken, I heard that he is still a big beauty, do you feel grateful to me? ha!" The voice seemed to fall from the sky, and the sound was like thunder.
As soon as Ling Yun heard this voice, his face changed, and he shouted: "Wang Tuo, you bastard, you trapped me here, you still want to catch me and kill me now, if I go back, I will definitely beat you to a cripple, so that you will not be able to be a man in the next life!"
"Yo he, these few months have been so nourishing, on martial arts, invincible in the world, on beauty, left and right, on fame, sound shock, status, famous in the world, it can be said that you are complacent, the spring breeze is proud, not much stronger than a failed sling silk in your reality? You are not only grateful to me for giving you such a superior life, but also resentful of me, hahaha, it's really stupid! Do you still want to return to this failed life in reality?" Wang Tuo's voice came from the sky.
"What kind of life I want to live, it has nothing to do with you, you are now throwing me into this petri dish like an ant, fiddling with me like a plaything, even if I live the life of my dreams, this life is glorious and rich, incomparable, I will not remember you at all, once I have the opportunity, I must put you in such a humiliating cage, so that you can also taste what I suffered today!" Ling Yun gritted his teeth and said.
For Ling Yun, if he lived a life of beauty like clouds, glory and wealth all his life, maybe for a long time, he would consume all his will, and he didn't even plan to return to the world he once was, but now it is obvious that he lives a life, life is better than death, and he has to wait for death in front of him, how can he not hate Wang Tuo who made fun of himself and harmed himself to come to this world?
"Okay, you have fun in this world, since you hate me so much, then I will let you stay in this cage world forever, never come back, hahaha!" Wang Tuo said.
"Damn!" Ling Yun smacked hard, but there was no longer Wang Tuo's voice in the sky, and a crisp voice covered with glassware came from the sky, it seemed that the guy had completely sealed the exit of this world, Ling Yun's face was gray, and his heart was gloomy.
This world is not a world of its own, whether it is all illusory glory and wealth, or beauty in the arms, as long as he thinks of the illusory nature of this world, it is a man-made world in the experimental vessel, it makes Ling Yun feel a great loss, and the feeling of seeing through everything is spontaneous.
Perhaps, the original world was nothing good, even ugly, but the only thing that he couldn't forget was the reality of that world, everything was so real, all the joys, sorrows, pains and joys, people couldn't forget those real feelings.
