"Hell hell hey" Els widened his eyes in horror, trembling and unable to speak, sitting on the ground and stepping back with his hands and feet.
The white-haired youth stepped forward and approached. Ells threw his head back in a shudder. Baizhu reached over and went straight through the boy's head. Els shuddered!
"You, you, you, you"
The white-haired young man straightened up, looking at him with a pair of red eyes and no emotion. Speak: "I won't hurt you." ”
From the moment he died, Baizhu found himself unable to leave a certain range of the bead. He had broken down and gone berserk, and every beast that came to this plain became the object of his dark and negative feelings. - But what about after the madness? He became a ghost, without a body and without a home. Not only could he not go back to the real world, but he was never even seen by anyone. For a while he sat beside the bead, sitting with his hands on his knees, thinking about his strange and absurd life
Bead. Is it just a locating instrument for my soul?
He had tried to control the dark elemental to roll it up, but unsurprisingly failed. -- His black wind can only kill people. It's a good hand to roll up humans, but if you really want to roll up inanimate objects, you just sigh.
Damp rock walls, dripping vines. His lonely soul sat curled up. Watch as half of your body gradually decomposes and is swallowed up in the mud. The feeling of topless emptiness overwhelmed him.
Once a person is empty, he will think a lot. Just like the Baizhu Guild often stared at the animal skin paper with a small horn in the mud, and the small bead that had been buried in the mud and was very likely to be the direct factor that led him to not return.
- If this bead can really locate his soul. So is the reality he returns to every time he sleeps and crosses back into reality?
He thinks like this occasionally.
Every world is so real. What if the reality I'm in is just one of these thousands of dreams?
When I was young, Bai Qi swallowed this bead, and my soul state couldn't be too far away from this bead. So every time I die in another world, this bead pulls back my soul and brings me to my real body?
- But in that case, shouldn't I be inseparable from him? Become a conjoined baby?
Isn't it possible to live without the beads just the soul? Once there is a separation between the human body, the effect of the range disappears
Baizhu remembered those massive, black, uncontrollable memories. Buried his head in the crook of his arm
If so, who am I?
Where the hell is my world
*******************************************************************************
The vellum paper on which the words had been written was so deep in the mud that it was impossible to see. Bai Zhu counted the dripping sound on the roof of the cave every day, and at the same time recited Bai Qi's name in his heart - go back. He never stopped thinking about it.
Even if he is now in the state of a soul, even if he can't tell which world is his now.
He started to get out and about. The soul could float, but he still occasionally forced himself to step on the earth. ――The earth is so great that it can carry not only the footsteps of humans, but also ghosts. Probably it has a soul, too. Baizhu walked up with firmness, and seemed to feel its pulse with every step. He began to run outside from time to time, testing the size of the range that he couldn't leave. He also began to help people who were being chased by giant beasts. Although no one could see him.
Until the teenager, picking up his beads.
"This?" Els pulled out the small orb from his pocket, stained it with some of his blood, "You, the Heroic Spirit who lives here?" Who are you, you? ”
There are two kinds of souls that can live in the magic weapon after death, one is the soul of the hero, which is called the heroic spirit; One is the soul of the demon race, which is called the devil.
Although Baizhu's red eyes are more scary, the temperament around him is only cold and not as evil as the legendary devil. He also said that he would not hurt him. So Els made a bold guess, "This bead is the lair of the fire dragon, are you the great swordsman of ninety years ago, Cole Slai?!!! ”
Bai Zhu looked at it, and his gaze swept down over the blood spots on his hands, probably the blood that allowed the young man to see him. "I am." Baizhu spoke, "It's been ninety years."
"Really! It's really you! The boy's cheeks flushed with excitement as if he had seen an idol, "Master Cole Slay!" My name is Els Jeffrey! I grew up listening to your stories!! - You've been guarding the North Ammons Plains?! ”
The white-haired young man looked out the window: "Ninety years Els, can you help me do something?"
The red-haired boy excitedly immediately climbed over the wall through the back door, and without even having time to change his clothes, he ran towards the small cave he had just visited: "Sly! Lord Sly! What are you looking for in that cave? ”
"What," Baizhu muttered to himself. Too much time has passed, and he has forgotten a little, "Bai Qi." ”
"Huh? What is Bai Qi? ”
"It should be, a person?"
Els laughed, "There's still someone in that cave?!" No, it won't! - Is it another bead? The soul that lives inside is called Bai Qi? ”
The white-haired young man held his chin contemplatively: "It's possible." ”
The young man Els was not afraid of hardship or tiredness for his idol, and rummaged in the mud with his bare hands. I don't know if I don't look for it, and I'm shocked when I look for it! Gold! Jewelry! It's like you don't want money! Baizhu looked at the young man's dull eyes looking at the jewels, and said lightly: "If you want, cut the vines, there is a hill in the cave." ”
"Hill?"
"A hill of gold."
Els swallowed and took two steps towards the vine.
Baizhu floated coldly in front of him, blocking the young man's sight: "Go on." None of these are any. ”
"Aren't there so many beads?" Els asked.
"It's not." Baizhu's eyes swept over the jewels and gold coins piled aside, "Probably not beads." ”
Inch by inch, the mud was dug apart, and a pitch-black tangled mass was turned out. The red-haired boy wiped the sweat dripping from the tip of his nose and brought the mud from his nose: "What is this?" "Unfolded, it's the size of a piece of paper. I wiped it with my hand, and I don't know what kind of animal this skin is, there is a layer of oil on it, and it is even waterproof! Els frowned and looked upside down, "What is this?" What a strange pattern. - Treasure map? ”
Baizhu's pupils dilated violently, and he walked over quickly, and when he was about to take it, his hand passed it directly, and the leather paper fell back to the mud.
Els picked it up: "I'll hold it for you!" As he spoke, he wiped the mud off it and unfolded it in front of Baizhu.
"I can't forget the things of jì" Bai Shu looked at it and read it softly in a daze, "Go back, Bai Qi is waiting for you at home"
Els smiled evilly: "This Bai Qi, is it your wife?" ”
"Atractylodes atractylodes is also uncertain. Time has passed longer than expected, and I chant this name every day, but I can't even remember people.
My wife?
-- This piece of paper briefly describes the encounter between him and Bai Qi when they were young, the breakdown of the family, the hostile relationship to the peaceful present. In the last sentence, adjust your mentality and go back, you can't let Bai Qi worry anymore.
- My wife?
is also the reason why the two brothers have always called each other names, and have never called each other brother and brother, the name Bai Qi is written on this piece of paper from beginning to end, without revealing the relationship between the two
Even the encounter when they were young was just a passing mention, and there was no mention of the Bai family and the Wen family. At that time, Baizhu probably felt that other people had nothing to write about, and it was not a big deal to forget jì and not forget jì, so he only recorded Bai Qi alone.
Baizhu stared blankly at the parchment paper in his hand: "This is my record before I was born?" Why is there so little information? - It's all Bai Qi? ”
Els winked at him and smiled: "This Bai Qi must be your wife!" Otherwise, how would you remember her! ”
Baizhu was silent.
The wind was blowing from outside the cave. Baizhu saw the familiar black element roll into a ribbon of wind, first flying around his body, and then slamming into the piece of paper in Els's hand!
"Ahh Ells was caught off guard and fell back into the mud, and the piece of paper in his hand was crushed by the wind! "What is this !!?" He cried out in terror, "Lord Sly, save me!! ”
Baizhu looked at the black wind with some puzzlement: "Are you conscious?" Why did you ruin my record? ”
"Huh?" Els looked at Baizhu in disbelief, "You! Do you recognize it? ”
"This is my weapon." Baizhu stretched out his hand indifferently to that side, the black elements condensed into a water-like band and wrapped softly, Baizhu stretched out his other hand and touched it gently: "After accompanying me for so long, it turns out that you are conscious." ”
The black wind obediently rubbed his palm, like a small snake.
"Little Black"
Black Wind's movements froze suddenly.
The white-haired young man came back to his senses from his confusion and looked at the black wind condensed by the elements in his hand: "Little Black." The name given to you. ”
When Xiao Hei muttered this name, Baizhu's heart suddenly hurt.
The white-haired young man tilted his head and looked at the black wind that was obediently wrapped around his arm in his hand.
I seem to have forgotten a lot of things
Ninety years have passed. Is my memory that bad?
*******************************************************************************
"With these gold coins! My father's illness has finally been cured! The young man took off his clothes, wrapped up the gold coins, and walked naked. He smiled happily: "Thank you!" Sly-sama!! ”
"What's your father's illness?"
"Legs! Leg problems! "He was one of the Pope's paladins in his youth, but later retired after being wounded in a leg. As a token of his appreciation, the Pope personally presented him with a staff. He shrugged, "But that was before I was born. I don't know why my father, a dignified former paladin, ended up in this small mountain village. ”
A teenager is a teenager. He excitedly carried a large bag of glittering gold coins, and as soon as he entered the village gate, he shouted: "Look!! Look what I brought!! ”
Old man Jeffrey limped and rushed over: "You stinky boy! I said why can't I knock on the door for a long time! Slipped out again?! - Watch me teach you! ”
"Wait, wait!" Els ducked as he ducked, and a gold coin fell from his arms. The crowd of onlookers were stunned one by one. Old Jeffrey picked up the one that had fallen at his feet, and squinted at the sun in confusion. "This is"
"It's gold!" Els grinned brightly, "There you have these! Everyone in the village will be able to live a good life!! ”
The old man's eyes flickered. He put the gold coin in his mouth and bit it, and snorted: "I can't bite it!" Fake!! - I said, you kid, how lucky you are! Someone else picked up a gold coin and walked away shit luck! You've got so much!! ――I must have been deceived by the thugs in the bazaar again! I've fooled you with fake goldsmiths! Did you cheat everyone out of that basket of dragon grass?!! ”
"No, it's not"
Old man Jeffrey grabbed Els by the ear and dragged him into the house, shouting as he went, "You idiot! Sooner or later, there will be no pants left to deceive people!! ”
"Lord Sly! Lord Sly, save me! ”
The old man's eyes glared: "Who the are you calling?!" Saying that, Peng's foot brought over and kicked the door shut!
In the end, there is a strength, even if that foot is shorter than others
Els sat depressed on his broken bed, with the pile of gold in front of him.
"Lord Sly, are these really fake?"
"I don't know." Atractylodes opened his mouth lightly.
A package struck him from the back of his head, and the boy groaned. Old man Jeffrey walked in with a dark look on his face and scolded, "You are just like your mother-in-law who has no head!" Stupid death! - Pack up your things! Pick up two or three gold coins, and we'll be gone overnight! ”
Els was stunned: "Go?" Where to go? ――Why did you leave? ”
"If you don't leave, you'll wait to be hacked to death!" Old man Jeffrey scolded, "Idiot! ”
In the evening, Old Man Geoffrey took his staff, which had been broken in two, the one with the jewel on his back, and the solid one used as a crutch. Els was carrying a large package to support his father, and Baizhu floated behind them.
-- The flames of the sky were raised from behind. Els turned back in disbelief.
Old man Jeffrey snorted angrily.
"Let's go."
The greedy bloodline of this village started ninety years ago!
Jeffrey pulled his silly son: "Don't look at it! Come on! ”
