Chapter 5, The First Entry into the Demon Palace
The night is covered with heads. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
It's so heavy that it's breathless.
Strangely shaped faces, floating in the air.
Contemptuous, malicious, ridiculous, disgusting...... And also...... It terrifies him.
Circle around him.
"Don't!"
"Don't come here!"
The face pressed up.
He turned and galloped.
The face followed closely behind him, and the large mouth on the face writhed, spitting out familiar words.
Pounced.
……
"Don't—"
The boy sat up abruptly.
It's a dream.
The young man gasped heavily, only to feel that his body was sticky with sweat, and he was uncomfortable, so he impatiently reached out to push away the quilt, but the silky feel of his hand made him stunned, and he reached out to lift the quilt to see, only to see that the quilt in his hand was actually made of silk. This precious cloth, which came from Middle-earth, was scarce and precious, and the young man had only seen the nobles of the tribe make it into beautiful clothes and wear it, or give it to the favored concubines. It's unheard of to be made out of a quilt like this. It is the outline of the big city where the Han merchants often rest, and the rich merchants there only use coarse linen to fill the quilts.
What exactly is this place?
The boy looked up.
The delicate patterns on the window edges, the wooden bed underneath, and the high threshold at the entrance......
Prismal windows, low beds, steps.
This is the Han family.
He fainted in the corridor, why did he wake up here?!
"Are you awake?" asked a plain-shirted boy as he walked in with a tray in his hand, smiling.
The boy was at a loss. The young man in plain shirt in front of him was obviously a Han man, and he also knew that the young man in plain shirt was speaking Chinese, but he just couldn't understand it.
Seeing the young man's confused face, the young man in plain shirt immediately understood, "I'm sorry, I saw that you look like a Han Chinese, but I didn't expect you to understand Chinese." But it is a change to a language that is more widely spread in the grassland.
"Nothing. Hearing the young man in plain shirt say that he looked like a Han man, the young man shook his head, and his expression couldn't help but be a little gloomy, "My mother is a Han girl, and I have never looked like my father." ”
Seeing the young man's gloomy expression, the plain-shirted young man knew that what he said before must have touched the young man's sadness, so he hurriedly changed the topic, "Let's drink the medicine first! He put down the tray in his hand and handed the medicine bowl to the boy.
"Yes. The boy nodded and reached for it, "This ...... Where is this?", but he still couldn't help but spit out the doubts in his heart,
The young man in plain shirt tilted his head and smiled: "You came in from Bibo Road, where do you want to go, don't you know?!" There was a hint of ridicule in his brisk voice.
Don't...... The young man became excited, "Could it be that this is really the Demon Palace?!"
The plain-shirted boy smiled and nodded.
Hearing that he had really entered the Demon Palace, the young man's excitement increased instead of decreasing, his heart was beating, a stream of blood surged, his forehead and palms were covered with a layer of sweat, and the medicine bowl in his hand was not pinched firmly, and he slipped and fell to the ground.
Seeing that the medicine bowl was about to fall to the ground, the young man suddenly saw a flower in front of him, and when he looked at it again, the medicine bowl was firmly copied in the hands of the plain-shirted young man.
"I'll feed you. The young man in the plain shirt thought that the young man's hand injury was not yet complete, so he reached out and scooped up a spoonful of decoction and raised it to the young man's mouth.
A young man has been bullied since he was a child, he has been hungry and full, how has he ever been treated well? When he is sick, he is groggy and groggy in a grass nest, and that is considered good. If it is found out as lazy, it will be another good beating. At this time, seeing that the young man in plain shirt raised the spoon to his lips, his face was hot, and he avoided it in embarrassment, and felt that the kindness of the young man in plain shirt was very inappropriate, and hurriedly said: "How can I bother you? ”
"What's the trouble or not? You don't have a good hand, so I'll feed you." The young man in plain shirt said, feeding the decoction into the young man's mouth, "By the way, my name is Ah Yuan, you can call me Ah Yuan in the future." ”
"Yes. Looking at Ah Yuan's gentle smile, feeling the bitter medicinal juice bubbling through his throat, and recalling the news that he had entered the Demon Palace, the young man's somewhat unstable mood gradually calmed down.
"What's your name?" asked Ah Yuan.
"Ah...... Abu. The young man hesitated for a moment, spit out a name in a low voice, raised the corners of his eyes slightly, and secretly looked at the look of the young man named Ah Yuan.
Abu is a cheap name.
The names of the steppe people come from a variety of sources. The sun, the moon, the stars, and the stars are the incarnations of the gods, the tiger, the wolf, the bear, and the leopard, which are the symbols of strength, and the flowers, the grass, the trees, and the trees, which are the spirits of the plants. Each name carries the expectations and blessings of parents for their children.
And Abu, the word that means servant in the steppe language, is the name that the boy has borne since he was a child.
What will Ah Yuan think? The young man was a little apprehensive.
"Abu. Ah Yuan repeated with a smile, the expression on his face did not change at all, as if it was just a very ordinary name.
Maybe it's really different here. I didn't see any disdain on Ah Yuan's face, Abu thought.
After feeding the medicine, Ah Yuan packed up the medicine bowl and put it on the tray, and suddenly felt that the sleeves of his shirt were gently pulled twice, and a low call came from his ears, "Ah Yuan......" He looked sideways, but saw Abu, the young man who had stubbornly stepped into the Demon Palace, but at this time his eyes were full of anticipation, "Can you tell me about the Demon Palace?"
"Demon Palace...... Ah Yuan thought for a moment and asked, "What do you think the Demon Palace should be?" Without waiting for Abu to answer, he continued: "Mysterious, powerful, omnipotent?"
Abu only felt that Ah Yuan's description of the Demon Palace seemed to be in his heart, and he couldn't help but nod his head again and again.
But seeing Ah Yuan shook his head, he said slowly: "The Demon Palace is indeed powerful, there is no doubt about it. However, Ab, all the people in the demon palace are people, not gods. When the manpower is finally exhausted, even the Demon Palace will not be able to dominate everything in this world. ”
"At the same time, the Demon Palace is also cruel. In the Demon Palace, you can only keep moving forward, constantly surpassing the people in front of you and not being surpassed by the people behind you, this is the survival law of the Demon Palace. In the Demon Palace, being strong means that you can get everything you can get. It's just ......" Ah Yuan's expression became serious, and his eyes were firmly fixed on the young man, "Abu, why did you step into the Demon Palace? What do you want from the Demon Palace?" Abu heard Ah Yuan's question, and was about to say something, but was stopped by Ah Yuan with his eyes, and Ah Yuan's next sentence also made him speechless, "All this has nothing to do with the Demon Palace." You only need to remember one thing, once you enter the Demon Palace, you are born as a Demon Palace person, and you are a Demon Palace ghost when you die. You must not betray the Demon Palace in your life. No matter what you've been through, you've died once, you're no longer in the world. And your life is no longer yours, but the Demon Palace's. ”
