Chapter 8: The Dead
After going through all the things on the Broken Yin Mountain, the body of the Confused was too weak. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe spell he had just induced was forcibly terminated due to lack of spiritual power as soon as it was launched.
This taste was very uncomfortable, implicating himself in the backlash, and a trace of red blood flowed down the corners of his mouth, looking shocking.
However, there was no time for Mystery to bother with that. He had a bad premonition, and his mood was heavy, and he endured his dizziness and walked quickly. In the grand and ornate mansion, he walked through the vermilion arches that showed ancient charm, stepped on the carpeted white jade steps, and rushed straight to the back garden.
At last, he stepped through the last door and into the familiar garden.
That's where he grew up playing, keeping memories of his childhood. This small garden is one of the few places in this solemn mansion that can reassure him.
However, the confusion was completely frozen.
The scene in front of me is really shocking.
The air was quiet and oppressive, and the garden was lifeless, without a hint of wind. What was once full of emerald green has now turned yellow.
Rotten fallen leaves, lifeless, layer after layer, scattered all over the ground.
The withered petals, the red incense is broken, the mutilation is broken, and it looks extremely desolate. Colored blood oozed from the crack, and there was a strange fragrance.
It was the blood of the flower spirits, and this was not an ordinary petal, but the shattered wings of the flower spirits.
Those elves are weird flower spirits, and they are lively by nature. On weekdays, they are always dancing and jumping in the grass, playing and playing.
But now, their little corpses were scattered in the garden, with big beautiful eyes, but their eyes were hollow, and there was no trace of life.
In addition, there are dead trees standing in the garden, which are extremely charred and black, and black smoke is swirling.
The old dryads in the garden used to be full of demonic energy, and the years are long. They are the Wood Demons who have opened up their minds, with a gentle temperament, kind and kind, and have witnessed the Confusion grow day by day in this garden.
But now, they have turned into a pile of dead and rotten wood, charred and dry, with no life at all.
Although he had been mentally prepared when he entered the door, when he saw this shocking scene after scene, his pupils were dilated, and his face was full of disbelief. His mouth was wide open, but he couldn't speak.
Not far away, a tall old Taoist had just finished casting a spell, and at this moment he was putting away the dust and standing in place.
The old Taoist is immortal, his face is full of red light, but the smile on his face is a little weird no matter how you look at it.
Next to the old Taoist is the Marquis of Ghost River, whose face is thin and pale. He was richly dressed and had an extraordinary bearing, and he had long since lost the panic he had when he was in Broken Yin Mountain. At this moment, he has the majesty of a superior person.
The current Guichuan Marquis's expression was very calm, looking at this devastated garden, his expression was extremely indifferent.
There is no need to think about it, everything in front of you is the work of these two people.
His hands were trembling, and he could no longer suppress the anger in his heart, Huo Di pulled out the sword at his waist and staggered towards the two men.
"Puzzled, put down your sword!" The Marquis of Onikawa was extremely majestic and scolded loudly.
"Young master, please calm down." The old Taoist saluted respectfully, but there was no respect in his eyes.
The ghostly body swayed, stopped, and stood among the fallen leaves on the ground. Everywhere you look, there is a devastation.
He trembled and raised his sword, pointed it at the throat of the old Taoist, his voice was hoarse, and he asked angrily: "You evil demon Dao, you have destroyed the creatures of this garden, why do you dare to call me the young master?" ”
It is called the Demon Dao, but this old Taoist doesn't care, although he lowered his head, he raised his eyes without showing weakness, and looked at each other with confusion: "I have entered the Guichuan Hou Sect, and I share the honor and disgrace with the six princes, and advance and retreat together." Now, as a wise man in the mansion, I am willing to do what I have learned in my life and serve you, the young master. ”
"Confused, don't you even listen to me? Immediately put down the sword. The Marquis of Onikawa commanded majestically.
"These flower spirits and wood demons witnessed the whole process of your loss of divine purpose on that day. They are just some lowly monsters, ignorant and ignorant, and may reveal secrets at any time. Mo Daochang thought carefully and killed these monsters to prevent future troubles, which was the best policy. ”
"Mo Daochang has thaumaturgy, and he once guided us into Wushan to find our eyes, and his credit is indispensable, and now he is a wise man in my mansion, like a family."
"Confused, put down your sword immediately." Onikawahou emphasized again.
Ignoring the confusion, he still carried the long sword, turned around, came to a broken dead wood, stretched out his other hand, and gently stroked it.
This was originally a beautiful spirit tree, belonging to a young dryad, with a strong demonic aura, but now it has been charred as carbon. As soon as he touched it, sawdust and black ash trickled down his fingers.
The corpse of the wood demon, at this moment, the soul is silent, the demon power has been dispersed, and a slight yin qi emanates from the rotten wood.
It seems that everything is irretrievable.
Puzzle stood beside the rotten wood, silent.
Ignoring the erosion of yin qi, he just stood, stroking the dead wood, his expression sometimes gloomy, sometimes sad, sometimes angry, and uncertain.
Guichuan Hou frowned, looked at the young man not far away, and said impatiently: "Confused, this is a decision made by me and Mo Daochang, don't be disgruntled." In a few days, Uncle will buy you new flower spirits and wood demons, and maybe add a few species of spirit birds to decorate the garden. At that time, you will naturally forget about the unhappiness of the day. ”
Silence, for a long time.
Suddenly, Confusion put away his sword and turned back without warning.
On his face, there was a big smile. It was a deferential smile he had never had before, a smile as warm as a spring breeze and as soft as a willow leaf.
Such a change surprised the Marquis of Guichuan.
Yu Yu said respectfully: "Uncle, what you said is very true. It's just some monsters, it's not worth rare, and it's a bit monotonous to see more, so you don't need to bother to buy a new one. My uncle has good intentions, and I can understand it. ”
The Marquis of Guichuan was stunned, nodded and said, "That's the best." The royal family is cruel, you should grow up, don't be willful, play with the child's temper like before, as your uncle, everything I do is for you. ”
Yu Yu smiled and nodded, and said: "That's right, my father is far and unreachable, except for my father, in this secluded capital, uncle you are my only relative." ”
Guichuan Hou clapped his hands and said, "Well said, Youfu, you are finally sensible." You and I are close relatives, blood is thicker than water, in this huge secluded city, only my uncle will never harm you. As long as you can follow your uncle's arrangement with peace of mind, the future will be a smooth road. ”
Yu Yu said sincerely: "Uncle is right. However, after a tiring journey these past few days, I think you and the Taoist are already tired, so please go back and rest early. This ruined garden is left to me to deal with alone. ”
Guichuan Hou nodded and said, "It's okay, then we'll leave first." Chief Mo Dao, I have already arranged a room for you, please come with me. ”
Soon, the Marquis of Guichuan and the old Taoist left this dilapidated garden one after the other.
When they were far away, Wanderlust found a torch out of nowhere and held it in his hand. He stood alone in the garden.
And the smile on his face has completely disappeared.
Yu Yu closed his eyes, thinking back to the scenes of his childhood, and enjoyed rare joy and tranquility in this garden.
But the scene of the past is now gone, and it is nowhere to be found.
"Goodbye, everyone."
Yu Yu calmly spoke, and at the same time threw the torch in his hand.
In an instant, the flames burned brightly, and the flames soared into the sky.
The scorching firelight reflected a face as cold as a glacier, so young and immature. However, it is such an indifferent face.
The bewildered left eye began to ache faintly.
There, there were two heavy blows. Now, in the eye socket is a stone eye that does not belong to him, hiding a deep hidden danger.
Covering his left eye, he raised his head and looked at the rising sun. The morning glow is beautiful and brilliant, but his heart is full of helplessness.
In just half a month, he has changed so much.
Now I am not smiling, my words are all lies, and even this god is a fake.
What else is true in oneself?
