Chapter 31: Life hangs by a thread

"Then what have you seen when you entered the Phantom City?" Mi'er continued to ask, feeling that Poplar seemed to know much more than she did, so she threw all her questions at him.

"The people are in dire straits, and they encounter drought in the dry land, but there are officers and soldiers who are forcing and oppressing the people to build Tianxingtai and the royal mausoleum, and they are building a great success, and the people are not living. Hungry all over the wilderness, but the palace is feasting and celebrating, as for what is celebrated, it is not very clear, as the so-called living 'Zhumen wine and meat stink, the road has frozen bones' scene. Poplar said indignantly, "I wanted to step forward to stop it, but the scene kept changing, and I was helpless......"

After hearing this, Mi'er told Bai Yang about some of the scenes he had experienced, and after hearing this, Bai Yang couldn't help but say: "Could this be what the master told me about the war of the Nine Kingdoms, and the master and I briefly mentioned the legend of the war of the Nine Kingdoms." ”

"War in the Nine Kingdoms? Can you elaborate? Mi'er asked curiously.

"Let's get out of here first, the tiger was just knocked out by me, and it will be a waste of strength if it wakes up later." Poplar replied, Mi'er saw this, and agreed to mention yì, and the two groped their way forward in the deep valley bottom.

The bottom of this valley is eight zhang wide, and it winds all the way to the front, with no end in sight. Mi'er and Poplar had already rounded a big bend and walked to a slightly bright light, and Poplar said, "Regarding the war of the Nine Kingdoms, I only heard the master mention a little."

"Go on, I'll listen." Miel replied.

Bai Yang cleared his throat and said, "Since the opening of Pangu, the three emperors have ruled the world, and the five emperors have ruled the world, and the world has been divided into four continents and eight countries. Its Middle East continent land, east of the sea, since the opening of the turbidity and stand, the town of the ocean, but the ship is difficult to turn around, the country is difficult to take care of the building, the so-called long time must be divided, divided for a long time must be together, after a war, the East Continent country after a war, divided into two, the north is Yao, the south is Sheng, for a while, there are nine countries in the world side by side, competing with each other. ”

"And then? Is the Nine Kingdoms finally unified? Mi'er continued.

Bai Yang patiently explained: "Whether the nine countries are unified or not, and which country is unified, there is still no conclusion, and people only pass it on by word of mouth, and there is no record in history. ”

"However, these Warring States heroes presented in front of me, no matter how brilliant the war results, what I saw was that the people were suffering, the country was rising and the country was dying, and the people were still in dire straits. Guosheng was built on a large scale and toiled the people; In the decline of the country, soldiers were conscripted everywhere to resist the war, and the people were killed. After Mi'er finished speaking, she sighed twice.

"There must be a reason for such a development of history, relatively speaking, everyone still hopes that the world is peaceful, but things in the world, there are good and evil, black and white, it is impossible to be peaceful forever." Poplar Biao had already seen through the impermanence of the world and treated it indifferently, and replied lightly.

Mi'er felt very reasonable, looked at the sky, and said: "Yes, there is good and evil, someone is in trouble, someone rescues; Some people are happy, and some people must be sacrificed. After saying that, he felt like an old man sighing, and neither of them knew why they reacted like this.

Suddenly, Mi'er's stomach began to sing, and it was very loud. When Poplar heard this, he looked at Mi'er, who was immediately embarrassed and lowered his head.

"Looks like we've been here for too long, you're hungry, let me see if there's anything to eat around here." When Poplar saw Mi'er singing in her stomach, she felt that she was also a little hungry, and she didn't know how long it had been since she came to this strange place. After saying that, he immediately looked around, looking for any wild fruits.

After searching for a long time, there were no wild fruits or anything like anything except jungle grass, and the two continued to walk along the winding valley.

The two sides of the valley bottom are surrounded by mixed trees, in the middle is some fine sand and gravel, it seems that here used to be a river, now it has just dried up, some of the lower places have depression ponds, the area is a depression of deep water, some of the pools are larger and deeper like a pool, the bottom is not visible. Mi'er and Poplar walked around the puddle and walked on, and when they saw a bend, they thought they would come to an end, and they continued to go on, and saw another wide opening in front of them, extending ahead.

Poplar kept searching for things around him, and finally, at a bend, he saw a wild prickly pear high on the shore, and the prickly pear was golden and could be picked and eaten, and Poplar was finally overjoyed at this time, and said to Mi'er: "Mi'er, you wait here, I'll be back in a while." ”

With that, Poplar had already left. Mi'er was about to speak, but when she saw that Poplar was leaving quickly and went to a high place on the shore, she endured her words and said nothing. Mi'er had been standing on a slightly larger stone around the corner, and there was a puddle next to the stone, which seemed to be a small puddle, and because the light at the bottom of the valley was relatively weak, the bottom of the puddle could not be seen, and I don't know how deep it was.

At this time, except for the birdsong, there was silence all around, so quiet that you could hear the sound of heartbeat, and at this moment, as if she heard one or two more abnormal sounds, Mi'er held her breath, turned around and looked back, frightened.

The tiger that had fainted had already caught up with him, and he targeted Mi'er, and he put his steps very lightly, ready to pounce on Mi'er as soon as he got close.

There was a scream, and when Poplar turned around, Mi'er was gone, and he saw the tiger standing on the stone, and Poplar thought to himself, not good!

Then he immediately turned around and descended from the mountainside, and when the tiger saw the poplar, because he had been subdued by the poplar, he did not dare to act rashly, and deliberately roared twice, and then turned his head and fled.

Poplar looked for Mi'er, saw the ripples in the waterhole, and saw Mi'er's figure gone, so he immediately jumped into the waterhole to rescue Mi'er. Mi'er was frightened back because of the tiger pounced, and accidentally fell into the pool, because of the familiar water, I wanted to struggle on the surface of the water and climb up again, but unexpectedly, there was a strong force at the bottom of the pool that was sucking her body down, and she was immediately sucked into the water and sank.

Mi'er, who had been sinking in the water, tried to hold her breath and not let the water enter her body. The water is so deep that there seems to be no bottom, Mi'er kept spitting bubbles, and gradually felt that she was about to die, the bubbles were getting bigger and bigger, and finally she couldn't hold it anymore, her body began to become unconscious, Mi'er gradually entered a state of confusion, and the words of her father and mother finally appeared in her mind: You must go to the state of thought, find grandma, detoxify, and then contact your parents and Xiaochan.

Mi'er already felt that she couldn't hold it anymore, she couldn't meet her father's instructions, and she was ready to say goodbye to the world, and there was only one last trace of regret left in her mind.

After Poplar jumped into the water, he did not find Mi'er, and his body was attracted by the powerful force at the bottom of the pool, but he used the power of the bull and tiger to resist groping in the water, but he couldn't find Mi'er's figure, Poplar thought to himself, I was afraid that Mi'er had sunk to the bottom of the pool, so he gave up fighting against the strong attraction and sank down with the direction of the power.

Mi'er was already in the water, and only the last trace of breath was left, but in a trance, as if in a dream, she heard a familiar and warm voice: "Mu Yan, Mu Yan, where are you going to run again?" It's dangerous there, you can't go, come back quickly......" So Mi'er vaguely felt as if she couldn't go anywhere, and couldn't go there.

Mi'er tried to come back to her senses again, telling SΓΉ that she couldn't just fall asleep, but her eyes were still closed, and the long and kind voice came again, and a picture was in her mind: "Mu Yan, are you okay?" What to do there? ”

"Why is this wall so high? I can't climb up...... "A little girl stayed in the corner of the thick red wall, and in the distance, a woman in her fifties stood by the pavilion corridor.

"You stupid boy, what are you going to do climbing that wall?"

"I want to see what's up outside the walls, Grandma." The little girl was wearing a long blue dress, looking innocent, staring at her grandmother who was walking towards her.

The little girl's grandmother replied with a smile, "I want to look outside and tell grandma, I'll take you there, there is a passage to go out on the back of the pavilion, you don't need to climb the wall to get out, come back quickly, you stupid child, grandma will take you out." ”

Mi'er, who was in the water at this time, immediately woke up and thought, "I can't die!" I'm going to Akagi, I'm going to find grandma! However, Mi'er was almost sinking to the bottom of the pool, and a huge flood force struck, turning Mi'er into a whirlpool, and gradually disappeared into the pool.
