twenty-five
Shi Yanwen has never really trusted Su Huanzhen, Su Huanzhen knows, always knows. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
He thought that the peach and plum did not speak, and the bottom was its own. Unexpectedly, that person's heart was like a stone, and it was hit by the soup and the water.
The rocks in the boundless sea, the paths under the deep mountains and plums, their world is almost out of reach.
There is no wind, and it is beautiful.
Perhaps because he has not returned to this thorny mountain for a long time, the upside-down appearance of the world looks a little fresh. Although Shi Yanwen used a jack pendant and wanted to land on the ground immediately, he still couldn't help but wander.
He didn't really want to come to this place, but he had to come to this place, and he had no other way to go.
So, no one can stop him, no one can.
Su is true, you must not come to stop me, don't.
Shi Yanwen closed his eyes and let his mind go, the roar of the wind was not yet in his ears, he listened to other sounds, such as clothes flying, like the slightest breath in a thunderstorm, like any sound different from the wind.
Thorn Mountain is getting closer and closer, Shi Yanwen's heart is pounding, and after ten more breaths, only thirty meters, he will reach that node. Bai Su really gave it, the last time he stopped here, if there is no accident, there is a key.
He always couldn't escape the fate of being knocked unconscious, and there was no way to solve it after thinking about it, but thanks to Su Zhenzhen, he came up with a way, and maybe it might be successful.
Time fell, but the familiar breath in his memory did not appear, Shi Yanwen released a long-suppressed true qi, his steps were volleyed, falling like a meteorite, and there was even a faint smell of gunpowder in the wind.
But.
No one stops!
Shi Yanwen glanced back in disbelief, making sure that there was no one else, and even when he was about to land, his body was still swooping forward, he slapped his hand on the ground hard before turning over and barely stabilizing his body, and then silently stunned in place for a long time.
The branches of the trees cut through the newly worn clothes, the thorns that did not fall to the ground were covered with thorns, the strangled plants that clinged to the trees did not scratch the cheeks, the gravel under the feet, and the stream below the mountain were fresh and unfamiliar, but more familiar.
Shi Yanwen suddenly raised his head, the white clouds were long, the distant mountains were heavy, and there was no outline of the cliff.
As if it never existed, false.
Shi Yanwen sighed, aren't all the things in the dream fake? There must be no falsehood, and there is a layer of falsehood hidden inside.
He went to Soul Gathering Village.
Soul Gathering Village was his first memory in this world, and the people here were sincere and welcoming, and after knowing that he had lost his memory, they comforted him many times and gave him the best wooden house here. Children always liked to circle around him, old people often brought him food and clothes, young girls blushed at him countless times, and upright men often asked him for advice on fists and kicks.
It was during those days that his restless mind returned to calm, and although he was confused, he felt warm.
Two years.
Shi Yanwen stood by the big tree in front of the village, the corners of his mouth inadvertently showed a wry smile, the village was still in front of him, there was no trace of fire invasion, and there was no human smoke, the picture was fixed at the time when it was the most memorable and he was most willing to believe.
Sneak into the wooden house in the middle of the village, a short corridor made of bamboo, monotonous but neat furniture, and a withered wooden cabinet with daily dishes and chopsticks. The structure of the beams is not new, but the materials used to make the tables and chairs are not very recent, and there is no glimpse of the past, which should be ten years ago.
He knew about this place ten years ago.
If this was his memory, he could almost confirm that it was his sealed memory! But so what? He couldn't tell which century it was, and the more he remembered, the more confused it became.
Shi Yanwen's fingertips trembled, he shook it fiercely, and after calming down, he turned around without any hesitation, time was pressing, he wanted to go to the next place before Su really broke the formation.
The second proof that the man gave Su Huanzhen was after Su Huanzhen had completely adapted to that world.
At that time, Shi Yanwen wanted to take Su Zhen to leave, it was not a place that Shi Yanwen could control, the danger was always lurking in front of him and behind him, that place was called Dao Domain.
The Taoist is good at dividing yin and yang, the sky is round and the place is round, there is yin in the yang, and the yang is hidden in the yin, and the layout of the dao is roughly like this. They went to the land of the sun, and they had to pass through the netherworld.
His children inspect the Nine Realms, and there are always some people who are unwilling to send him all the way, even if Shi Yanwen escorts him, and he is willing to risk the world's greatness to assassinate the gentleman who is famous in the Nine Realms.
Shi Yanwen originally wanted to send the injured Su Huanzhen to leave here, Qiao Rulai had someone next to him to take care of him, and he was safe, but Su was really saved by him, those people cut the grass and eradicated the roots, and they couldn't find him, but they were afraid that the disaster would move eastward, so he had to go back to Ju Soul Village to pick up people first.
It's just that he didn't expect to be plotted before he received anyone, the silver needle was slashed against his neck, no matter how fast Shi Yanwen hid, he couldn't prevent the hidden weapon from being embedded in the door frame, as thin as a hair.
Su Huanzhen had already heard the movement outside the door, and thought that Shi Yanwen would come in directly, but after waiting for a long time and seeing no movement, he opened the door by himself, and then saw Shi Yanwen with a pale face.
"What's wrong with you?"
"Don't be nervous," Shi Yanwen lowered her voice, pretending to be leaning by the door, "Has anyone been here?" ”
Su Huanzhen's gaze swept across his neck, "There are a few children who say that they admire your good name and come here to post." ”
"They expected me to come back...... Well, you go with me first, it's not safe here. ”
They walked all the way, the assassin did not dare to show the surface, the more crowded the safer, but not long after walking, Shi Yanwen was already crumbling, like a dead leaf about to fall in the ruthless autumn wind, but he refused to let Su Huanzhen support him. Gradually, Shi Yanwen suddenly sped up his speed, broke away from the main road and entered the trail, with a map in his mind, avoiding the Ming Sentinel and fleeing to the mountains, and only when he reached the periphery of the Yin Domain could not hold on.
To enter the yang land, you still need to pass through the yin domain, the yin domain is treacherous, there are few yang people and many dark ghosts, and the number and quality of killers are also different from before.
The poison of the silver needle must be forced out on the periphery.
"Do you want my help?"
"No, there is a pond two hundred meters in front of the left, and the building wood is on the side, let's go there and get some things first."
It was something that Qiao Rulai had prepared in advance, and it was said that it would be able to avoid the unique yang charm of the ghosts of the Netherlands, and the next plan.
But it was empty.
He looked back at Shi Yanwen who was cross-legged to drive away the poison, the tree that was said to be a building tree, a bridge that could communicate between heaven, earth, man and god in legend, but this straight and straight wooden stake was high, although it was not seen to be oblique, but there was no divine power at all.
It's just rotten wood.
For the time being, the poison will be pressed to the inside of the wrist, which is the source of human yang energy, and it is expected that it should be fine for four or five days, but a black line on the wrist looks terrible.
"The fundus of the eyes is red, the body temperature is high, and you have not cleared the remaining poison because you don't have enough time?"
"That's enough, it's just that the other party's response is more clever than expected, I'm worried that the plan will change, let's go in and talk about it."
"I didn't find a yang charm here."
Shi Yanwen looked at him, he was really dressed in blue, his white hair was better than snow, and his heart cinnabar was dim because of the night, he was a person who amazed everyone as soon as he appeared, and he was also a person who shouldn't have appeared. He reached out and touched his neck, "There is only one Yang Talisman on my body, and I brought you here because there is a path here, and someone there will pick you up and take you to a safe place." ”
Su really blinked, "Su has his own way of self-defense." ”
"This matter has nothing to do with you."
"You're hurt."
"It doesn't matter."
"Then drop by?"
“…… You better go," Shi Yanwen turned around, his face suddenly turned cold, and he flashed past Jianmu, "This is not the place you should be, and Yanwen doesn't want to waste more time on you." ”
His thoughts were too direct, and Su really could see it at a glance, if he really didn't want to waste time by his side, why did he come back and take him away? They haven't been together long enough, otherwise Shi Yanwen will know that Su Zhen sometimes doesn't eat hard and soft.
However, Su really went to the path and met the person who picked him up, a very cute girl, and returned to Jianmu after a few words.
The girl admired his behavior of returning the dripping water with a spring, and told him that there was another way to enter the netherworld, which was to refine the building wood and inject its essence into the blood. But Jianmu is difficult to refine, and the predecessors combined with several masters, and only refined one-half of it to eliminate ghosts, and later the predecessors of the Dao Domain remembered that it was very old, and refused to hurt the heavens, so they did not ask people to move again.
He can move, but he can't be noticed.
"Is it difficult?"
Not necessarily, but a dead wood will never be more difficult than destroying a god. He doesn't need Jianmu, but Shi Yan's tattoo was poisoned, obviously the plan has changed, although he doesn't know what the plan is, but it's always right to keep him safe, if the yang charm fails, Jianmu may be able to save the emergency.
It really took half an hour, although Jianmu was strange, but he was old and the purple flames were monstrous, which more or less attracted the attention of many people, and Shi Yanwen didn't know where he went.
And when he completely refined the building wood and flew into the dense forest, the first clue he found was the white remnants of the broken branches, with a little bit of blood, and the broken branches were like zigzag marks.
……
"It's like a reincarnation," Su Huanzhen took off the strip of cloth and gently wrapped it around his hand, "where are you going next?" ”
"Wait for the rabbit." The man pointed down the hill, "Look, the rabbit is coming." ”
"It's a good pixel to say, it's like a big bad wolf." Su really smiled and looked at it.
Shi Yanwen shuddered.
It seems to be being targeted.
Su really frowned, "Injured?" ”
The man shook his head, "No, in this place, no one can hurt him but himself." ”
"You can't either?"
"Neither can you."
“……”
Su really came out too fast, and before he could unlock the secret of this mountain, Su really came here! Shi Yanwen remained silent and continued to walk up the mountain, stopping again after a while, muttering a few words, and secretly moving his steps back.
was perceived.
Su Huanzhen's eyes were slightly leaking, his body moved instantly, the man was hiding in the shadows as if he didn't plan to help, let the thorns cover his body completely, he wanted to use Su Zhenzhen's light skills, it shouldn't be difficult to catch Shi Yanwen, who was not very familiar with the exercises of this world.
But almost at the same time, Shi Yanwen actually looked up at him, as if he was smiling and pointed, and the whole person fell backwards down the mountain.
The smile in his eyes was a little strange, as if he was waiting for him to come down the mountain, Su really walked on his feet, Shi Yanwen smiled again when he saw this, and smiled triumphantly.
He opened his mouth, but his low voice passed through the thorns and flowed in his ears, "Don't stop me, Su Huanzhen, you go, this is not the place for you to stay." ”
- You'd better go, this isn't the place you should be, and Yanwen doesn't want to waste more time on you.
Walk?
It's not that easy.
Su really sped up his speed, treading water without a trace, borrowing branches to move his body, and approached Shi Yanwen in the blink of an eye, as if he would be able to catch him in the next moment!
Shi Yanwen laughed for the third time, his footsteps flashed left and right, floating on the ground, and he staggered his shoulders under Su Zhenzhen's stunned gaze, with a hard punch, "This is called 'you do the first year of junior high school, and I do the fifteenth'." ”
Su Zhenzhen's figure was stagnant, he turned back with a wry smile, and the figure that drifted away was very clean and chic, and he had an untimely appreciation and amazement in his heart.
He remembered that he had only used it once in front of Shi Yanwen - Water Wind Walking.
Shi Yanwen didn't stop, and regardless of whether the thorns along the way would cut him, he drew a circle with one hand before reaching the top of the mountain, and the true power of the most masculine and rigid was released. The people in the shadows whispered badly, Shi Yanwen must have noticed the secret here, and wanted to make a move, but he didn't want Shi Yanwen to raise his other hand up, and the thunder roared on the flat ground, and the power of the Yin opposite to his body was contained in the palm of his hand, and the decayed and straight building wood behind him was faintly visible.
"Force of Nature!" Su Huanzhen was surprised again, and his gaze at Bai Yi deviated a little towards the thorny bushes.
Shi Yanwen calmed down, took advantage of the moment of merit to perceive the entire mountain, and then slapped it on the ground, he had been to this mountain several times, but he did not find any secrets. But all the clues point here, and if there is no outside the mountain, then it is inside.
What about digging 100 feet into the ground? What he wants to know, no one can stop.
Just once, the forest destroyed the wood, and the peaks trembled; Just once, the shadow appeared, and the white lotus retreated; Just once, devastating and decaying, and secretly appearing in the world.
The huge sinkhole is deep to the bottom of the mountain!
"Hah!" It's here! Sure enough, it's here!
Shi Yanwen couldn't wait to jump into the deep pit, even if the diamond door engraved with the strange formation was broken, Shi Yanwen didn't have time to take a closer look. He fell to his knees in a panic, and picked up the dirt with his hands, ignoring the staining of his white robe and the numbness of his fingers cut by the stones of the mixed minerals in the soil.
He had never been happier than he had ever been in this world, worried and happy, fearful and sad.
He had never been so happy, but he had never been so embarrassed. In order to find out his secret, he hides from another person like a fugitive, embarrassed and sad. He seems to be being forced by the world to become more and more pathetic.
Shi Yanwen closed her eyes, and when she opened her eyes again, she didn't know how many times her emotions were about to explode. It's not that he doesn't notice that his emotions are getting bigger and bigger, but fortunately, he can still control it, as long as everything goes well, as long as no one stops him.
So Su is true, you must not come to stop me, don't.
The Taoist did not return to the vast sky, but went to the place where he first saw Shi Yanwen and went to the thorn mountain.
He shook the mountain, opened the diamond door, and walked slowly inside, the road dug by man was winding and difficult. The wind in the middle of the road is like a ghost crying and a soul groaning, leading to the abyss of hell.
On the day he left Soul Gathering Village, the old man said a lot, and he was not as energetic as an old man, probably no one had ever heard him talk about that past, so he talked endlessly.
"The day he appeared, we were really excited," the old man sighed, "and the head of the strings may not know that Shi Yanwen's value to the world we live in is as valuable to the world in which we live. With him, the sky doesn't seem to be too scary. ”
The Taoist did not speak, but just stood by and listened quietly, like a delicate and godless stone figure.
The old man sneered, as if he was quite disdainful, "He is coming to the Dao Domain, and many people are scrambling to see him." But he was very low-key, humble in words and deeds, gentle and polite, worried that his arrival would cause trouble for everyone, and respectfully invited everyone to go back, and said something heartfelt about the scene. Alas, it's been so old that I can't remember exactly, but his involuntarily approachable demeanor is unique. ”
“……”
"It's a pity that he saved Su Huanzhen."
The Taoist still didn't react, and the old monk sat still.
The old man waited for a long time, and there was a deep calculation hidden in his cloudy and white eyes, and he took a long breath and said with a smile, "Su was really involved in trouble, he burned the building wood, and at that time blocked the holy relics of the ghosts. He didn't know, and we didn't know at first, it was rare to build a wood, but no one touched it, and no one mentioned it as the years went by, until the ghost ran out. There was a real person in the Dao Domain who had to spend his efforts to set up a formation to block, and almost died, Su really contributed to this formation in order to make up for his mistakes, and he thought that it was the high-level of the Dao Domain who attacked them first, and it was not easy for everyone to trouble them. ”
That's just one cause.
"That formation didn't last long, so a forbidden mountain was moved to the Dao Domain, and the mountain, as its name suggests, is a forbidden spell. This matter should not have been done by Shi Yanwen, but someone instigated it, saying that this matter should be started by Shi Yanwen and should not be evaded. His eldest son's name is Qiao Rulai, he is a powerful person, and he won the battle, but Shi Yanwen did not agree. Tut! Have a finger in the pie. ”
As soon as the light in the Daoist's eyes turned, he was about to understand that the crux of the problem was about to be revealed.
"Originally, everything was going well, but they moved the mountain to suppress the ghosts, which was far more useful than Jianmu. But I didn't expect that the mountain and Su were really suppressed together, hey, Su is really unlucky, it is said that someone wanted to take advantage of Shi Yanwen's luck to sneak attack, and the Taoist next to him couldn't be rescued, so Su really blocked an arrow for him. This arrow was driven into the mountain, and the mountain was full of prohibitions, and if it went in, it could not come out. ”
When he arrived here, the Daoist's expression changed significantly, "Was it Shi Yanwen who saved him?" ”
"Yes." The old man finally heard his voice, and he was in a good mood, "I thought you had really become a stone, don't worry, we don't harm the living, wait for thirty days to pass, you will be free, you are a master, we ordinary people dare not hurt you, otherwise the sin will be even heavier." ”
The Taoist didn't speak, and the old man couldn't spit out what he wanted to ridicule, and the coldness of the Taoist always made him deflated, and the old man didn't care much if he laughed a few times after getting used to it. It was a joy that hundreds of years of torture were coming to an end, and he would not suffer for such a trivial matter.
"Shi Yanwen wants to go in, but the people in the Dao Domain won't let him in, his body has the essence of building wood, and all ghosts will not commit it, but he can clash with the ban, he wants to go in, but it will be a threat to the ban. Later, he came to beg us, and I heard out of nowhere that there was also a formation in the Soul Gathering Village. In our place, there are many formations, Tai Chi Yin and Yang, and there are gossip diagrams everywhere. ”
"Gathering Souls." The Taoist said lightly.
The old man appreciated and nodded again and again, "Yes, yes, you are very transparent, our formation is to gather souls, condense yin souls, and let the ghosts suppressed under the mountain temporarily gather in one place, even if the ban is damaged, it can be remedied." Shi Yanwen went to save him, but there were still people blocking him, so he killed all the way in, he was a gentleman who was as gentle as jade, and he didn't look like a gentleman at all when he killed people. Although they are all villains in the Dao Domain, they can kill so many people, it is strange that people are afraid. ”
“……”
Shi Yanwen finally found Su Huanzhen, and heard that he was dying, so Shi Yanwen gave him his life-saving medicine. That was the day! The old man's eyes changed, and his tone suddenly sank, "Shi Yanwen is so merciful, he actually left his hand on his enemy, causing the formation to be attacked!" Seeing that the ghost was about to come out, Shi Yanwen had no choice but to slap his palm at himself and spit out the essence of Jianmu, he thought he could block the ghost! ”
The old man stood up excitedly, his expression distorted, "But Jianmu is dead!" The effect is not so great! And at the critical moment, Su really betrayed! He Shi Yanwen entered the mountain, and then the unprecedented and vast light swept through the forbidden mountain and the village, and then we arrived here! Survive like a monster until now! ”
"We must keep absorbing the dead souls to survive!"
"We have to keep moving places to keep the soil and water in place!"
"What's the difference between us living and ghosts?"
"Look at those children, they will never grow up, but their minds are gradually maturing!"
"Look at the dead souls in the ice room, we are haunted by them every day! Torture! ”
The louder the old man spoke, the more angry he became, his face turned red, his eyes gradually dyed with hatred, and he wanted to cramp and bone the enemy who did not exist in front of him, cursing on one side and sorrow on the other, "If it weren't for them! How did we become like this! ”
The Taoist looked at him, silent, only the old man's rapid breathing in the quiet dark room, he stopped for a long time this time, and waited until the old man could finally breathe smoothly before asking, "Why did he come here?" ”
"Hahahaha," the old man suddenly laughed, not knowing what he thought, he couldn't breathe when he laughed, and his unheard voice was even more uncomfortable than the ghosts in the ice room, "This is thanks to the turmoil in Shenzhou, we absorbed too many dead souls, and then went to the bottom of that mountain and activated the formation." We wanted to give it a try, but it worked! He came, but he lost his memory! We waited so long for him that we were even willing to forget the hatred, if only he could take us back! At least take us back to the life of a normal person! ”
Later, when he slowly remembered, we thought it would take at least twenty years, but he remembered it in seven years, but so what? He forgot that he still couldn't do anything! Shi Yanwen, Shi Junzi? But a piece of waste! ”
"......" the Taoist shook his head silently.
Later, he came and went to the mountain again, detained the last restraint on the mountain, and suppressed the ghosts of the ice room. Ridiculous, what can this action do? Can we become normal again? Can you! So we did it again, do you know what he was doing that day? It's so nice to be betrayed and hurt when it's supposed to help us. We locked him up with the ghost to make him feel the torture we had endured, but he survived, only to lose his memory."
"No," the Taoist pondered for a moment, and hesitation rose in his unwavering eyes, "The time is not right. ”
Ju Soul Village has been here for hundreds of years, while Shi Yanwen has only been here for ten years.
"It's an accident caused by the formation, it's a joke made by time," the old man exhaled three times before calming down, "Su really forgot us, Shi Yanwen also forgot us, how comfortable they live, high up, admired by thousands of people?" So can the sins committed be written off in one fell swoop? How can we be willing! ”
"......" Taoist was speechless again.
The old man was so tired that he said so much that his hands and feet were hot and trembling, and his speech was intermittent. He sat on the ground and gasped for a long time, his face softened again, and he became infinitely gentle, "It's not much and thanks to him, he took the prohibition into his body, and the day he appeared, he triggered the formation again, and the soul of the ice room seems to be less, and even the Gathering Soul Village has appeared in advance, so we made a guess." ”
The sense of ominousness in the heart of the Taoist became stronger, "What speculation." ”
"We speculate that if he takes in all the demons, we'll sacrifice him again! Activate the formation, perhaps...... Maybe we can go back? This method is indeed a bit vicious, but he can't care about it, "This is the last chance, our formation is about to end, if the formation disappears, we will all be food for evil spirits, and the suffering situation will inevitably be a fight, even so, it is better to bet on this!" ”
The Taoist closed his eyes and stopped looking at him.
"Anyway, this is what Shi Yanwen owes us!"
"Anyway, he has already sacrificed so many times for the people of the world, so what's the harm if he sacrifices one more time? Isn't he known as a gentleman of Confucian history? Oh, by the way, he is also a saint, a jade saint, since he is a saint, then he should always suffer more. ”
The old man got up, knelt in front of him with a stiff and humble face, begging bitterly, and tears broke down, "String head, in fact, you don't need us to design, you will still help us, right?" Shi Yanwen has no foundation here, even if everyone deceives him, what can he do? Just like what Su really did, no one would care about him, he wouldn't leave a trace, and when we left, no one would tell the world about it, would they? Help us, we're just going home......"
The old man was like a madman, upset, moody, and his feelings and memories were distorted and unsightly by the catalysis of hatred.
After nightfall, the Taoist walked outside the door, and more people knelt outside the door, quietly watching him, invisible threats and hopes were like a materialized silk thread, entwining people's hearts, difficult to break free.
The Taoist came to the stone cave, a dark and cold cave, broken iron and brown dark blood smelled bad, and arrived, this dark hell.
"He was imprisoned there for a year before he broke out, and if you want to confirm what I said, you can go there, and the truth is there."
Fact?
But is this really true?
Would Shi Yanwen bet with the whole village in order to be a real person? Will he?
…… No, he won't.
