Chapter 2: Nightmares
Awakened from the nightmare, he lifted the covers and jumped to his feet. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
He gasped for air, stared out the window blankly, and was silent for a long time. Whether it was the eerie cavern inhabited by the trolls, or the sharp rubble on the ground, it had just reappeared in his dreams.
And this exact nightmare, which he has repeated many times in these days. Every time, it was as if he was there, which made him frightened and frightened. Because, it was not just a dream, but his real experience half a month ago.
That's all happening. Thinking of this, he sat back on the bed, his limbs weak and his eyes glazed.
Until now, he was still a little reluctant to face this bloody reality. In that accident, he lost his left eye.
Unlike mortals in the earthly world, Confusion grows in the vast divine land, and all kinds of supernatural treasures emerge one after another. Here, even if you lose your eye, you can regenerate it. However, this is not the crux of the matter, for the noble and mysterious royal family of the Netherlands, the eyes have a special meaning.
The reason why the dark land is called the dark land is because this sacred land is close to the nine shadows. The Nine Shadows are the depths of the earth, where the yin and evil are located, and it is said that there has always been a great calamity. In the past ten thousand years, his father, King You, suppressed the Nine Shadows with supreme mana, so that the chaos did not appear in the world, which can be regarded as a thousand years of merit.
Legend has it that in addition to the magic power of the world, the King of Darkness also has a pair of divine eyes, which are unpredictable, and can be seen from the top to the sky, and can be seen from the bottom to the nine shadows. This is also the key to his ability to single-handedly suppress evil spirits.
This powerful divine eye has long been fused into the bloodline by the ancestors of the You Clan, and as a symbol of the clan, it has been passed down from generation to generation. And as the son of the Youwang, not only does he need to have great strength, but he also needs to exert the power of this divine vision to the extreme, and when he can cut off all illusions and see through the Nine Shadows like his father, he can be qualified to inherit the throne of the Youwang and take on the important task of protecting the kingdom of God and suppressing the Nine Shadows.
However, just half a month ago, because of this accident, the left eye of the confusion was broken.
In the secluded land, there is a miracle doctor who is well versed in "life art", which can regenerate the eyes and reconnect the severed limbs. However, it is only the mortal eyes that are born again.
The god eyes of the ghost clan are unique and precious in the world. But on the other hand, it is also very fragile, and once it is broken, the divinity in it is forever scattered in heaven and earth, irreversible.
Gloomy knew very well in his heart that he had lost a divine eye, and if this matter was revealed, it would mean that he was disqualified from competing for the throne of the Ghost King.
To be honest, although he was quite disappointed about this, he didn't care too much about it. However, his uncle was mad because of this.
This uncle was originally a mortal, but he was able to enter the divine land by chance, and after his sister married the king of You, he also became the Marquis of Onichuan. However, eleven years ago, my sister was seriously degraded by the yin and evil qi of this secluded land for a long time, and passed away prematurely, leaving only a young ghost, and grew up under the strict watchful eye of the Marquis of Guichuan since childhood.
Back then, as a mortal, he did not hesitate to risk his life being eroded by yin and evil to let his sister marry the king of the dark land, so that he won the position of the Marquis of Ghost River, and he could be highly respected in the divine land. And the birth of the Puzzle made him see greater hope, and he began to fantasize that maybe one day, he would be able to truly be on top and control everything.
However, because of this accident, the Marquis of Onikawa's illusions were almost shattered, and he completely fell into madness, and his heart was filled with intense anger and unwillingness.
On that day, the terrible appearance of my uncle will never be forgotten.
At that time, after the accident, Jiuye immediately found a miracle doctor, this old miracle doctor was clever, even if he stopped the bleeding, and quickly reborn the blind left eye.
He remembers waking up very quickly. In just a short period of time, the newborn's left eye was painless and could open normally and see things clearly.
It all seemed like it was time to end, but he didn't expect that this was the real beginning of the nightmare.
The Marquis of Onikawa, who had been informed, broke in at that time. At that time, the uncle's face was distorted and hideous, staring at his reborn left eye.
That disgusted look was like looking at the carrion of maggots. He roared hysterically: "Where did you get the quack doctor, what is the use of asking for this mortal eye? Come on, dig it up, and I'll find God for you! ”
At that time, Yu Yu was completely stunned. This scene will never be forgotten by him.
Growing up under the nose of the Marquis of Guichuan since he was a child, although he has always been strict and harsh, he has never shown such a look in the past thirteen years.
On that day, the Puzzle seemed to reacquaint himself with the uncle.
The Marquis of Onikawa was crazy, ignoring any persuasion, and actually ordered his personal guards to forcibly press the confusion to the ground, ignoring his desperate struggle, and dug out the newly reborn left eye again.
At that time, the confusion was still awake, and it was terrifying to feel the pain of the eyeballs being gouged out alive. Recalling the feeling at that time, he couldn't help but retching violently, and his whole body trembled a little.
Not only that, after learning that this accident was caused by a martial arts competition, the Marquis of Guichuan was furious, and immediately ordered Jiuye to be killed. The phantom, who had just had his eyeballs gouged out, endured the pain and miraculously did not faint. He argued fiercely with his uncle, and finally forced him to die, saving the life of his childhood friend Jiuye.
Recalling this past scene, the mood of confusion is still a little fluctuating. It was a long time before he regained his composure. On that noble and handsome face, his expression slowly became indifferent, at this moment, he was completely different from the cheerful and lively half a month ago, and he no longer looked like a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy.
He still remembered that in the following days, for the sake of secrecy, he had been locked in the deepest part of the mansion and was not allowed to go out. After discussing with his cronies in the secret room for a few days, the Marquis of Guichuan went out in secret, looking for strange people everywhere, and finally made friends with a rather mysterious old Taoist.
The old Taoist said that there is a witch mountain in the northern region, and there may be a god to be found there.
So, this uncle took himself to sneak out of the secret land and went to Wushan under the leadership of the old Taoist. After a few tosses, they finally got something, although they didn't find the god's eye, but they found a special eyeball, which may be used as a substitute for the ghost's god's eye.
In return, the Marquis of Onikawa promised to bring this mysterious old Taoist back to the Hidden Land, and as a wise man of the mansion, he would advise him.
The three of them returned from Wushan, and last night, they had reached the frontier of the Northern Regions, and they would soon be able to leave this region. Now, they live in an inn here.
Yufu stood up, left the bed, and walked to a mirror, looking at himself in the mirror.
He found that in just half a month, he had lost a lot of weight, and his face had become extremely pale and lacked blood.
His eyes were dull and dull, but if you only look at it from the outside, it is still a pair of turquoise pupils, no different from before, and even that aura is exactly the same.
However, he knew that all this was just a false appearance, this was the old Taoist who carefully performed a Taoist technique for him, called "Painted Skin", this kind of magic is extremely strange and can change people's appearance.
Confusion reached out and slowly tore off the mask.
The face was still his own, but it was paler, and this was only because of the art of painting the skin that could slightly disguise his temperament. However, the peculiar turquoise left eye of the Phantom was gone, and there was a stony eyeball, rough and quaint, without any luster, like a random stone, roughly polished into a spherical shape, and left for a long time before it became like this.
However, he knew that this evil stone was absolutely unusual.
Yu Confused recalled that day, in an ancient cave in the depths of Wushan, the hideous and ugly witch, after accepting the sacred land gift brought by the Marquis of Guichuan, was finally willing to give a precious eyeball as a transaction. This eyeball is not a god eye, nor does it look like a demon eye, but it is very unusual, and it is regarded as a rare treasure by this thousand-year-old demon and has been carefully collected.
When the old witch put the stone eye into his eye socket, Yu Yu already felt abnormal. As the son of the Ghost King, he has divine blood flowing in his body, and his recovery power is amazing, even if he was blinded by stabbing and was dug out of the reborn mortal eye, he experienced two heavy bleeding, and his body was able to recover quickly as before.
However, when this strange stone eye merged with him, he felt that the essence of his body was about to be sucked dry. At that moment, his heart was beating wildly, and the blood of the gods all over his body was pouring into this eyeball. In the end, he was even more weak, his limbs weak, and extremely weak. Until now, he has not fully recovered.
What's even more weird is that after the big demon thought spell, this stone eye actually began to diffuse a strange aura on its own, which was extremely similar to the breath of his right eye, and it was difficult to distinguish the real from the fake. You must know that the god eyes of the ghost clan are unique, and this stone eye can imitate that unique aura after absorbing his divine blood, which is too unusual.
Standing in front of the mirror, the Puzzle retracted his thoughts and put on his mask again. Thanks to the old Taoist's skin-painting technique, this false left eye not only has a similar breath, but even its appearance looks the same as before.
It's just that the tiredness and haggard on his face that is not commensurate with his age cannot be concealed.
He shook his head, he didn't even think it was true, did he still want to deceive the people of the clan and compete for the position of the king of the shadows?
Besides, can this really succeed, my father has stood for thousands of years, and wherever a pair of divine eyes can see, all the vanity has disappeared, and even the monsters hidden under the nine shadows cannot be hidden.
He wanted to deceive the king and succeed him. Isn't that uncle of his own whimsical?
At this moment, he suddenly noticed that there were flickering Dao talismans in the air of the room, and sparks were actually rubbed.
Don't think about it, this must be the uncle who used it to spy on him.
Yu Yu sighed, everything related to himself seemed to be out of his control. I don't know what the future holds.
He walked out of the room with a heavy heart, and came to the door of the inn, only to find that the Marquis of Guichuan and the old Taoist were already ready to go.
The innkeeper had a worried face and reminded with great concern: "A few guest officers, do you really want to continue to go west?" In this way, you will soon cross the border of the Northern Regions, where there is a ghost mountain and demon ridge, which is said to be a place for nurturing yin and cultivating evil, and ghosts and demons are rampant. I would like to say that over the years, all the travelers who have refused to listen to the dissuasion and insisted on breaking into it have all gone and never returned. ”
"You don't have to."
The Marquis of Ghost River was irritable in his heart, he knew that even if he entered the deepest part of the Ghost Mountain Range, he was only just approaching the periphery of the outskirts of the Hidden Land. But these cowardly and ignorant mortals could not even set foot on one ten-thousandth of it.
"Let's go!" He commanded.
The three of them left the inn and disappeared into the deepest part of the mountain......
