Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Truth About the West Mountain

Neither I nor I could help but take a step back. The first time www.biquge.info I saw such a terrifying scene, I couldn't help but have my heart beating faster. What is it that makes people so cruel? The domineering methods of murder make people shudder.

Goodbye to the crowd watching under the city gate, although their expressions were wooden, they all revealed some unknown fear. This frightened expression is not like the design, because if you look at each person closely, although they are all afraid, the expressions on their faces have their own moods.

"It seems that this kind of thing is also unusual for this here." I said in a deep voice. You can naturally understand what I mean - this world is in chaos, and there are "strange numbers"!

Youyou and I immediately turned around and walked back in tacit understanding, trying to get away from the gatehouse, away from the row of corpses, and away from the crowd.

Finally we arrived in a remote alley, and we stopped to catch our breath.

"What do you think?" You asked me.

"Hu Dongyang? Did Hu Dongyang take action? "I answer and ask." As early as when he was at the train station, Hu Dongyang mentioned that he had found a way to 'break the curse', could it be that it was to set off a bloody storm in this 'peaceful and prosperous era' and destroy the 'stability and unity' here? ”

"So you can upset the balance and 'principles' here and bring the world to an end?" As I continued with my words, my already big eyes widened more and more.

"Sure enough. Even if you know that's the case, don't you plan to leave as soon as possible? Suddenly, a man's deep voice came from behind him. We turned back in a panic, and sure enough, it was Hu Dongyang, who was as erratic as a ghost!

"Are you a human or a ghost?!" Yu Yu scolded dissatisfiedly.

"If you stay here for a long time, you will naturally be no one and no ghost." Hu Dongyang seemed to answer, but in fact avoided the faint question.

"We have a lot of questions to know, can you stop for a while and give us some answers, including your plans, and we may be able to help." I told him honestly, his mysterious style of seeing the head and not seeing the end of the dragon is really exhausting, and it is not good to make it clear. There has always been a lack of "communication" in this world! If Manji's father had communicated with me about Xiao Han earlier, he might not have come that far. My thoughts couldn't help but drift away again, and I forcibly pulled back my mind and looked at Hu Dongyang seriously.

Hu Dongyang seemed to be a little hesitant, and neither Youyou nor I dared to interrupt his thinking. For a moment, as if he had finally made up his mind, he looked up and said, "Let's talk in a different place." With that, he turned around and walked away.

I was stunned for a moment, and hurried to follow, afraid that if I didn't pay attention, I would lose my shadow again.

After turning seven or eight alleys, we finally came to a peaceful courtyard. The yard is very chic, antique, and there are some bluegrasses planted in the yard, exuding a faint fragrance.

Hu Dongyang let us into the house and sat down, poured two cups of tea in front of me and Youyou, watched us take a sip, and then said in a deep voice: "This is Lingling City, the 'Peach Blossom Spring' built by Liu Zongyuan's divine soul." ’”

This exit shocked me and Youyou, although I and Youyou both had this guess, but listening to Hu Dongyang Zheng'er say it, I couldn't help but be taken aback, there is really such a strange thing in the world?

"Lingling City was built by Liu Zongyuan, but the strangeness of Xishan is not because of Liu Zongyuan. In fact, Liu Zongyuan also discovered the secret of Xishan in the fourth year of Yuanhe, that is, when he first traveled to Xishan. ”

I looked at Yu You, "Why do you say that?" ”

"Isn't there a sentence in "The Travels of the Banquet in the West Mountain" that 'drunk is more like a pillow to lie down, lying and dreaming, the meaning is extreme, and the dream is also the same fun'? It is said that Liu Zongyuan had a dream in Xishan, and what he thought of in his mind was the same situation in the dream. This is a hidden sentence, but in fact, Liu Zongyuan dreamed of his whole life in that cave, dreamed of the complete failure of Yongzhen's innovation, and even dreamed of his own death, and maybe there was something further in the future. ”

I suddenly remembered the wild history that I saw on the Internet the day before yesterday, saying that Liu Zongyuan accurately predicted the date of his death to his subordinates, and said that he would "die and become a god". Hu Dongyang's words seem to really confirm the authenticity of this wild history.

"But how do you know?" Yuyu probably thought of the same thing as I thought, and asked him with wide eyes.

"Guess." Hu Dongyang responded.

I choked with Youyou for a moment, almost a mouthful of old blood for this answer that was too simple to work. After talking for a long time, the look of the words is just a guess? This Hu Dongyang really has a talent for storytelling.

Seeing that we were both crying and laughing, Hu Dongyang suddenly sneered with a gloomy face, "Don't believe it, have you seen the murals in that cave?" ”

I was confused with Youyu Wenyan and nodded honestly. "It's just that I can't see any doorways, I just think it's weird."

"That's the mural of the Northern and Southern Dynasties." Hu Dongyang raised his head and sighed.

I'm an engineering student, and I'm not good at history, but I also know that the Northern and Southern Dynasties were several dynasties before the Tang Dynasty. "You can still read the mural?" I asked. I seem to have heard Liu Qingyan mention it before, and Hu Dongyang is just a magazine editor or something.

"I used to do an interview, and I interviewed an old professor who specializes in ancient murals, and I happened to have the privilege of listening to some of the characteristics of murals in the Northern and Southern Dynasties. I'm sure there is no doubt that those paintings are from that period. ”

You and I looked at each other, and there were still some doubts in our hearts. But I heard Hu Dongyang clear his throat and continued.

"Liu Zongyuan mentioned in the article that he 'condensed his heart and formed a release, and merged with the ten thousand transformations', that is, he felt the miracle here, or made a deal with the original power here. But what this deal will be is unknown, and what is certain is that Yoo Sogen will fulfill his last wish here and create the world of his dreams. Hu Dongyang glanced at me and Youyou, and continued, "When you come here, you can find the desire in your heart, whether it is a life without worrying about food and clothing, or an ambition that is difficult to pay, or a karma that cannot be formed, you can be satisfied here." Moreover, the more people have strong desires, the more they will be attracted. On the other hand, if the desire itself is weak, there will not be too strong reactions. ”

I was stunned in my heart, thinking of the costume version of "Manji Dad" I met on the road, could it be that it was the desire in my heart, just like in the forest of consciousness in Luonan? It seems that there is only this reason, otherwise how could there be such a coincidence that the same person appeared?

"So, your father, uncle, and mother, as well as my grandparents, were able to leave here because they didn't have any strong desires?" "But, I think they came with a strong desire at that time, didn't your mother say that everyone wanted to explore the secrets of Xishan at that time, and then become famous in the Youth Daily?" "The faint question is very reasonable.

Hu Dongyang was stunned, obviously not knowing what Youyou said. So Youyou told him the clues that Liu Qingyan got from Hu Dongyang's mother, and of course, including Hu Dongyang's real father, and told him all about it.

After hearing this, Hu Dongyang was stunned in his seat for a long time, and muttered: "So that's the case...... No wonder I couldn't figure out why this curse had fallen on me. He sneered twice, and there was a bloodthirsty chill in his eyes.

You and I couldn't help but shudder. I squeezed Yuyu's hand under the table and motioned to her if it was time for us to leave. Yu Yu gently patted the back of my hand, signaling me to be calm. I had to be patient and keep going.

"Besides, why did you come back again and again when you could have left Xishan? Four years ago, a fire broke out in the house next to the Liuzi Temple, does it have anything to do with you? You're going to break the spell, are you planning to set off a bloody storm here and upset the balance here? So that the world can be closed forever? Yu Yu poured out all the doubts in his heart in one go.

Hu Dongyang was still immersed in the shock of his biological father, but when he heard her questioning with shells, he came back to his senses.

"Yes, I set the fire 4 years ago, I thought that burning the Liuzi Temple here would break the gate of this world, but I didn't expect that there was a little mistake when setting the fire, and I actually fainted myself, and when I woke up, I found that I came to the Liuzi Temple in the present world, and the direction of the fire was deviated." Hu Dongyang said expressionlessly, and his understatement seemed to have no mind about the accident he caused in the first place. I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, and vaguely felt that Hu Dongyang's heart had a problem.

"Then why are you in and out of this world? Actually, what I want to ask is that although this place is weird, it doesn't seem impossible to get rid of. For example, our elders didn't also live their lives peacefully and didn't sink here? Although there is a so-called 'curse' inheritance after death, if the younger generations don't care and don't come to Xishan, won't there be nothing? "Youyu said urgently.

"Then why are you here?" Hu Dongyang sneered.

Youyou was stunned for a moment, yes, why? Retrospectively in this way, at first it was because of curiosity, but it turned out to be inexplicably responded to and invited by Liu Qingyan, and then because Youyou's father was also "invited", although it seems to be completely avoidable, but in fact, it is indeed involuntarily come here step by step. Including Hu Dongyang, too, originally didn't care about it, but he received a letter from his uncle from his cousin, so he came here. In the dark, it seems that everything is a certainty.

Yuyou and I couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.

"But your fathers, and my grandparents, have all lived their lives safely and soundly, and have not been 'repeatedly bewitched' by Xishan." Yu Yu sighed.

"That's because they resign themselves to their fate and are willing to live." Hu Dongyang sneered again.

"What do you mean?" Both you and I could tell that there was something deep in this.

"I am a dead man, my uncle-no, I should say my biological father, who risked a lot of things to save me, and now I am alive. So I'm an outlier. Hu Dongyang raised his eyes to look at us.

"What do you mean?" We still don't understand what he's trying to say.

"If you had known about your life and knew what were the big holes in your life, would you want to change it? However, after the change, your life will also be completely changed, will you once again covet the future of life? Hu Dongyang's smiling expression made me and Youyou break down another layer of cold sweat.

"I have no desire to explore my future, no matter what the outcome is, I want to live with hope forever." Youyou's face was cold, and he said in a deep voice.

My thoughts are different from Youyou, I'm afraid I want to agree with Hu Dongyang, if I could have expected these things in the rest of my life, Manji's father would not have died, and all misfortunes would not have happened.

"So, because you came to Xishan for the first time and knew about the rest of your life, you went back and made a 'change', and then you couldn't help but come to Xishan to explore again? So what really attracts people to Xishan is not the 'peaceful and prosperous era', but the desire to explore the future of the real world? "I said my thoughts slowly, word by word.

Youyou looked up at me in surprise, while Hu Dongyang nodded in satisfaction.

"It seems that you are more in tune with me." Hu Dongyang smiled on his lips, "It's just that the more life you see, the more you will find that no matter what life is, it will eventually be a tragedy. When you despair of life, you will naturally want to stay here and not plan to leave. Here you will have eternal life! ”

"Eternal life!" I was shocked again.

"In that case, why did you ruin this place?" I asked him with a forced smile.

"Hey......" I didn't expect Hu Dongyang to let out a long sigh, "What can you do even if you are immortal, it's just an illusory world, what's the difference between it and death?" In his eyes, there was a clear kind of despair.

"Oh, there's no water, let's go get you some more water." Hu Dongyang got up with the teapot and walked away.

You and I wanted to refuse, but we didn't have time to say it.

Youyou and I looked at Hu Dongyang's back, both a little embarrassed, although we didn't experience the same life as him, we also knew that he must have experienced a lifetime in that cave, and he must be exhausted.

"Let's leave here and go to the carpet search, and if we find our godfather, let's leave as soon as possible." I said to Youyou.

Yu Yu nodded heavily.

While talking, Hu Dongyang came back. We were about to get up and say goodbye, but Hu Dongyang couldn't say that we should have another cup of tea and leave, just like ordinary people staying in the house, and then we couldn't say that we had added tea to our cups.

I looked at Youyou, "It's hard to be gracious", drank the tea in the cup as if it were wine, thanked you, and got up to leave.

Suddenly, I only felt dizzy in my head, thinking that it was because I had been sitting for too long and my blood was not able to rise. But the dizziness is getting worse and worse, and the body is also weak, and then squinting at Youyou, it is actually weak?

I was shocked, "Hu Dongyang, you!" ......" but he didn't have the strength to finish the rest of the sentence. At the last glance, I only saw Hu Dongyang looking at us calmly......
