Chapter 18: Izumokai
I don't know how long it took, Ye Yichen suddenly woke up, sat up suddenly, his hands scratching in the air, and his whole body trembled violently. In the dream that was repeated just now, the white-haired orangutan broke through the ice, and several large black iron chains were tied to its body, and it rolled up Ye Yichen with a flick of its tail, and it became tighter and tighter, so that he could hardly breathe.
When he stabilized his mind and looked around, he found that everything was very familiar, and he was lying on his bed at home.
Suddenly, a strange thought came to Ye Yichen's mind, maybe what happened last night was just a nightmare, right? Now that I woke up, everything should have been back to its original state.
Maybe when you walk out of this room, you will see Brother Li and the others filling the carriage with wine, and laughing at how he has slept again, did he have a spring dream last night? Thinking of this, he laughed unconsciously, and his mood became much lighter.
Ye Yichen grabbed his coat, put on his shoes, and slowly pushed the door open.
The bright light outside the door shone directly on Ye Yichen's face, so that he couldn't help but squint his eyes, the warm sun shone on his body, and a warmth flowed all over his body, and he struggled to open his eyes to look, and really found a few figures swaying in the carriage.
Nothing seemed to be true last night, and there was a kind of joy in Ye Yichen's heart after a false alarm.
"Elder, he's awake. Suddenly, a woman's voice was heard.
Ye Yichen was surprised when he heard this, and when his eyes got used to it, he realized that there were three people walking slowly towards him in front of him.
He couldn't be more familiar with the first person, it was the blind king who told stories in Piaoxue Town, and the other two were of the same age as him, but it was the first time they had met.
"Lao Wang, why did you come here?" Ye Yichen was about to speak, but as if he remembered something, his eyes immediately searched around.
The woman seemed to be the first time she had heard someone call Elder Tianjia like this, and she paused for a moment, and when she reacted, she couldn't help but smile.
And the young man beside her frowned, quite dissatisfied, and was about to speak, but saw Elder Tianjia shaking his head at him, so he gave up.
The blind man seemed to see through Ye Yichen's thoughts, and said to the two people next to him: "Nianci, Yun Ci you two take him there." ”
The two of them answered yes, and led the night to the first hour, and the four of them walked towards Chunyuan's room.
Chunyuan was lying on the bed at the moment, motionless, as if he was asleep, and there were still a few rose petals stuck to his hair, but the petals had withered and turned yellow.
Sure enough, those things last night were not dreams, and the hope that had just been ignited in the night was shattered by reality again, and the loss and sadness in his heart surged up again and climbed up his cheeks.
Maybe it's because I've already experienced it once, and Ye Yichen looks quite calm on the surface, so he should have accepted this thing.
When encountering unexpected things, as long as you can accept this reality in your heart and know that it is irretrievable, no matter how painful it has made you, you will have the courage to continue to live.
"He's not dead. The young man named Yun Ci beside Elder Tianjia seemed to feel that what he said was inaccurate, and added, "It's not dead yet. ”
"Senior brother" Nian Ci shouted at Yun Ci, listening to this tone, it seemed that he wanted him to say a few words.
"What about Aunt Xue?" Ye Yichen didn't answer, didn't look back, and suddenly asked, I don't know if I was asking myself or others, and the sadness in my tone couldn't be hidden.
Nian Ci and Yun Ci were stunned when they heard this, they had only been in Piaoxue Town for a few days just now, and they didn't know that Aunt Xue in Ye Yichen's mouth was Ling Xue'er, and the two of them looked at Elder Tianjia at the same time, as if they were waiting for him to speak.
Elder Tianjia walked over slowly, looked at Chun Yuan, whose life and death were uncertain on the bed, shook his head gently, and patted Ye Yichen's shoulder.
This is a new tomb, there is no tombstone, a few sticks of incense are inserted on the ground in front of the tomb, and a bouquet of osmanthus flowers is in full bloom next to it. Osmanthus is as white as snow, fragrant and clear as water, this is her Aunt Xue's favorite sun-scented cinnamon.
Ye Yichen stared at Ling Xue'er's grave, for a while he had a lot of thoughts, but he didn't say anything, his face looked calm, but there was a loneliness that he couldn't hide, he slowly knelt down, put on a stick of incense, and kowtowed three times.
Elder Tianjia also came over and lit a stick of incense, sighed and said, "Originally, I planned to let you see her for the last time, but the poison of her Three Corpses Brain Pill has completely attacked.
Halfway through his words, Elder Tianjia didn't continue.
Ye Yichen, who was kneeling on the ground, nodded lightly, and didn't ask, knowing what he meant. Chun Yuan not only passed on the Thirteen Needles of the Ghost Gate to him, but also taught him the efficacy and properties of many medicines, including the Three Corpse Brain Pills. People who have been hit by three corpses of cerebral erysipelas will festering little by little throughout their bodies before they die, until they are left with a pile of hair and white bones, which is extremely miserable.
Ling Xue'er, a woman who has loved beauty all her life, definitely doesn't want others to see her appearance, let alone be regarded by her as her own.
When Ye Yichen got up, Elder Tianjia handed him something and said, "This is what Ling Xue'er left for you. ”
When I took it, it was a brass cup the size of a wine glass and a short knife.
The brass cup looked ordinary, and he didn't remember it after ringing for a long time, but since it was Aunt Xue's relic, Ye Yichen still carefully put it away.
In addition, the short knife was about a foot long, shaped like a crescent moon, the scabbard was as white as snow, and there was a diamond-shaped mark on the knife, glowing with a faint blue light.
Ye Yichen recognized it at a glance, it was a short knife that Aunt Xue had always been inseparable, and its name was Yinyue.
Now the knife is dead!
This thing is a scene of human wrongdoing, which makes Ye Yichen feel unspeakably sad and lonely, he carefully put away Yinyue and put it in his arms.
Two days later, a new grave was added next to the new grave, and there was one more person in the new grave who had not woken up, and it was naturally Chunyuan.
Although he didn't go to hell and gave Chun Yuan three more days to keep him from dying, he was unconscious for the past two days. The Celestial Armor Commander deduced that it should be that his soul was seriously injured, so that his physical body was immortal and unconscious.
Elder Tianjia was right, the reason why Chun Yuan was still unconscious under the effect of not going to hell was indeed because of something wrong with his soul. But one day later, when Ye Yichen accidentally learned that this actually had a lot to do with himself, he was full of regret in his heart.
Chunyuan didn't wake up until the last moment of his life, but he only said the word "frost-free" and died.
In the past two days, Elder Tianjia told Ye Yichen about his various relationships with Tianji Valley, as well as the trapped immortal Basuo on his body, and so on. It turned out that Elder Tianjia came to Piaoxue Town in disguise two years ago, and he was ordered by Mo Yuyi, the head of Tianji Valley, to protect him.
When he heard the word protection, Ye Yichen couldn't help but laugh dumbly, is it to protect him, or to protect the demonic beast in his body?
Elder Tianjia talked about other things, but it was basically the same as what Chun Yuan said, nothing new.
Ye Yichen asked Elder Tianjia about Ling Xue'er, why they were so close but never saw each other. Elder Tianjia just shook his head, indicating that he didn't know, his main purpose here was for the night of the first hour. But then he said, maybe it's because of the Three Corpses Brain Pill. It stands to reason that a person who has been hit by the world's strange poison like the Three Corpse Brain Pill cannot live for so long, and there may be something hidden in the Drifting Snow Inn that can suppress its toxicity, so for so many years, Ling Xue'er has stayed there and never left.
Ye Yichen suddenly remembered his brother, so he asked about it, but he didn't expect Elder Tianjia to still shake his head, but his eyes obviously became different
At this moment, Ye Yichen found that his life experience was inextricably linked to Tianji Valley.
He now had a new question, why did Tianji Valley send people here? Moreover, he was also the head of the three major Dharma Protector Elders, the Vientiane Cangtong Tianjia Elder, and he stayed for two years.
In fact, there is no need to introduce Nian Ci and Tianci, the prestige of Elder Tianjia has already heard from Chun Yuan and Hongluan, such a supreme master came to this small place, just to protect a nameless boy, he must be full of doubts in his heart.
However, since Elder Tianjia was also ordered to come here, Mo Yuyi, the head of Tianji Valley, might know more things.
And who was the person who took his brother to Tianji Valley for treatment back then?
After giving incense to Chun Yuan and Ling Xue'er at night one hour, the four of them came to another open space together.
There are also four new graves here, and there are buried four guys who are making wine in the winery, they were all killed by Qin Ruyu, and now it seems that it is very likely that they were affected by themselves.
I don't kill Beren, but Beren dies because of me!
Ye Yichen and also got along with them day and night, seeing this scene, his heart was like a knife, and his thoughts were thousands.
"This time, Nian Ci and Yun Ci came to Piaoxue Town, and they were also entrusted by the head of the sect to invite you to participate in the "Izumo Meeting" held once every ten years by the Four Gates of the Imperial Spirit. Elder Tianjia suddenly spoke, interrupting Ye Yichen's thoughts.
"I'll go. As soon as Elder Tianjia's words fell, Ye Yichen opened his mouth to agree.
The three Tianjia elders didn't expect him to agree so quickly, and they were on the spot for a while, not knowing what to say.
After a while, Nian Ci still spoke: "Night Hour, do you know what the "Izumo Meeting" is?
