269 Light and Shadow of Memory
Yin Hou chased the little four sons and fell down the tunnel together.
The opening is very wide, and it's not too deep.
Yin Hou grabbed the belt of the little fourth son, lifted him up, and saw that the bottom was the bottom, so he turned over and sat down by himself, letting the little fourth son lie on his stomach.
At the same time as landing on the ground, Yin Hou was slightly puzzled - the ground was soft!
Yin Hou stretched out his hand and touched it, and found that the ground was elastic, and there was a very flat stone slab underneath, and after falling down, he gently flicked it up and down twice, and it didn't hurt at all.
Yin Hou first looked at the little fourth son lying on his chest and asked, "Did you fall?" β
The little fourth son blinked and shook his head.
"Where's the feet?" Yin Hou knew that the little fourth son had an injury on his foot.
The little fourth son sat up and looked at his feet.
The gauze on the little toe is still there, because the hole is so big, I haven't touched it at all.
Yin Hou saw that the little fourth son had nothing to do, so he began to look around.
The top is blocked, it seems that the mechanism is automatically closed, and the switch is the oil lamp.
Yin Hou was helpless, although this Yingxue Palace was Lu Xue'er's sect, it was built by Bai Yuelin back then. Bai Yuelin likes three things most in his life, one is to be an organ, the second is to be an organ, and the third is to be an organ, no need to ask, this tunnel is estimated to be left by him back then, and he made such a weird oil lamp.
Xiao Sizi raised his face and looked, the tunnel they fell down was only a short section, and in addition to the passage above, there was also a long tunnel on the left side.
But the key problem is that the exit above is blocked, and it is pitch black, but the passage on the left has a blue, glowing light.
Xiao Sizi tilted his head and looked to the left. Suddenly...... I heard a "whirring" sound from the other end, and it seemed that some animal was barking.
The little fourth son threw himself into his arms - there are monsters!
Yin Hou listened carefully, raised his eyebrows slightly, and patted his head, "Don't be afraid, it's not a living thing." β
The little fourth son was even more scared, and opened his mouth, "Ghosts? β
Yin Hou wanted to laugh, he was one hundred and twenty years old to a four-and-a-half-year-old baby......
Yin Hou sat up and said to Xiao Sizi, "It's not the cry of monsters, the cry of animals is irregular, but this sound is regular." β
Xiao Sizi blinked, although he didn't understand very well, but what Yin Hou said made sense.
"What's that?" The little fourth son looked into the cave again.
"It should be the wind." Yin Hou said.
The little fourth son clapped his hands, "There is wind and light, is there an exit?" β
Yin Hou couldn't help laughing, and said in his heart that this four-and-a-half-year-old knows a lot.
"Where do you want to go?" Yin Hou asked.
The little fourth son was puzzled.
"If I go back immediately, the floor is not thick, and I can slap it open with one palm." Yin Hou said and asked the little fourth son, "If you go from this side of the tunnel...... I don't know what's in the road. β
Xiao Sizi looked at the top and then to the left, and then quietly looked at the left.
Yin Hou asked him, "Where do you say you're going?" β
Xiao Sizi pinched his fingers, "Yin Yin, you decide." β
"That's not going to work." Yin Hou teased him, "You have the final say." β
The little fourth son flattened his mouth and said in his heart - you forced me to be more than 100 years older!
Thinking about it, Xiao Sizi glanced at the cave on the left again.
"Want to see it?" Yin Hou asked him with a smile.
Xiao Sizi nodded, a little curious.
"Maybe there's a youkai in there." Yin Hou continued to tease him.
Xiao Sizi hesitated, and glanced at Yin Hou again, that means - you just said it was wind.
Yin Hou poked him, "Hurry up and make a decision." β
The little fourth son poked the left.
Yin Hou smiled, picked him up, and led him to the left.
The two walked a few steps forward, only to know that the left side of the road was bright, and it turned out that many pearl plums on the ground had grown into the holes in the ground, so they looked very bright with stars. Not to mention, this tunnel is not scary at all, and it feels slightly magical.
The little fourth son walked in the long passage with his arms around Yin Hou's neck, looking around curiously, but Yin Hou was wondering - this passage is so long, go this way, it's time to go to the outside of Yingxue Palace, right?
β¦β¦
And at this time, in the Snow Palace.
Chen Xing'er and Crescent Moon were busy for a while, so they stopped to rest.
There were freshly baked bean paste buns in the kitchen, Chen Xing'er took a tray and put a few, and Yue'er put a small pot of white fungus soup to deliver snacks to Xiao Sizi and Yin Hou.
just ran to the yard and found that Xiao Sizi and Yin Hou were not there.
"Huh?" Chen Xing'er was puzzled, "Where did you go?" It's still there just now. β
"Will it be in the young master's courtyard?" Crescent Moon asked.
So the two girls ran to the courtyard of Baiyutang again, but they still didn't find Yin Hou and Xiao Sizi, and the last two ran the entire Yingxue Palace.
"Huh?" Chen Xing'er was puzzled, "Are you going out?" β
The two girls looked at each other and ran to the door to ask, but the guards said that they didn't see the old and the young going out.
Chen Xing'er wondered, "Where have you been?" β
The crescent moon spreads her hands.
At this time, I saw Lu Xue'er and them coming back.
Zhan Zhao was anxious to find Yin Hou, and when he came in, he asked the two, "Where is my grandfather?" β
"Uh......" Chen Xing'er and Crescent opened their mouths.
Gongsun also ran in, holding a paper bag in his hand, which was a snack for the little fourth son.
Xiao Liangzi asked, "What about Jin'er?" Sleeping? β
"Uh......" The two girls continued to open their mouths and couldn't make a sound.
Lu Xue'er looked at the two of them and frowned, "What are you two doing?" β
So, the two girls had to say that Yin Hou and Xiao Sizi didn't know where they went.
"I don't know where it went?" Zhan Zhao wondered.
Tianzun yawned, "Aren't you lost?" This Yingxue Palace is quite difficult to walk. β
Lu Xue'er called a number of subordinates, "Let's look for them." β
Zhan Zhao and others also followed...... But strangely...... Everyone almost looked for Yingxue Palace, but the old and the young were still nowhere to be found!
Now, everyone is a little anxious.
Zhao Pu called the shadow guards who were in charge of the surrounding guards.
Purple Shadow and Ochre Shadow shook their heads like rattles, indicating that they hadn't seen the two of them go out.
Everyone also felt reasonable, if Yin Hou really wanted to take the little fourth son out, then he would also go to the main gate and didn't need to hide, right? Besides, Yin Hou looked lazy today, and the little fourth son's toe was injured again, and there was no reason for the two of them to sneak out of the road.
"Where did you go?" Zhan Zhao was a little worried and asked Bai Yutang, "Will there be danger?" β
Gongsun's face turned white, "Will it be dangerous?" β
Tianzun waved his hand on the side, "Oh, maybe somewhere to wander around, what danger can you encounter with the old ghost Yin Hou?" The palace of Hades did not dare to accept him. β
Lu Tianhan and Wusha also nodded.
Lu Tianhan waved his hand and comforted Zhanzhao, "Your grandfather is immortal, don't be afraid." β
Zhanzhao's eyelids began to jump, and the more he talked, the more scared he became!
"I'll look for it again." Zhan Zhao went to walk around the Yingxue Palace, and Bai Yutang also followed.
Everyone was still not at ease, Zhao Pu simply sent the shadow guard to look for it nearby, and Lu Xueer also sent someone to find it in the Zhou Mansion.
In fact, Yin Hou and Xiao Sizi should be very recognizable, but everyone found that the sun had set, and there was still no trace of these two people - it seemed that they had disappeared like this.
Now, Zhan Zhao and Gongsun are hairy.
Gongsun Tuan turned around, and Zhanzhao was also restless.
Zhao Pu asked the two of them to calm down first, ask for clues and then look for them.
Bai Yutang called all the family members over and asked if anyone had seen Yin Hou and Xiao Sizi.
One of the maids said that she passed by about an hour ago and saw Yin Hou and Xiao Sizi as if they had entered Mr. Gongsun's room.
Everyone was stunned and ran to the room.
But the room is empty, I have searched it before, but I am not there!
"Is there anything unusual about the fourth son and my grandfather today?" Zhan Zhao asked Chen Xing'er and Crescent Moon.
The two girls thought for a moment.
Chen Xing'er said, "Little Sizi just asked if there were any monsters in Yingxue Palace. β
"yes." Yue'er nodded, "Think about it, Xiao Sizi and Yin Hou seem to be preoccupied today." β
Zhao Pu listened to it freshly and asked, "Yin Hou is worried about Zhanzhao's affairs, some things are understandable, what is the heart of that group?" β
Everyone looks at Gongsun, what does that mean - what can a four-and-a-half-year-old have on his mind?
The corners of Gongsun's mouth twitched, but it is true that the fourth son is absent-minded today, no, to be exact, it was like this after being hit by a stool last night, the stool ......
Gongsun touched his chin, "Hmm...... Speaking of monsters, after Xiao Sizi was hit on his toe by a stool last night, he also asked if the stool would become a monster. β
Everyone was puzzled...... But who understands the hearts of children?
Everyone looked at the tables, chairs, and benches in the room.
"Little Fourth was hit by this stool last night?" Bai Yutang walked over, dragged the stool out, and asked.
Gongsun nodded.
Bai Yutang picked up the stool, Xiao Liangzi also leaned over, and the two turned the stool over and looked at it, "There's no problem." β
"I'll look for it again." Zhanzhao stood up and went out.
Bai Yutang put down his stool and followed him, and the others also ran out, ready to continue their search.
Everyone hurried out of the room...... Therefore, no one noticed that the chair that Bai Yutang had placed on the side of the table slowly ...... Moved back to its original position.
β¦β¦
At this moment, where did Yin Hou and the little fourth son go?
The two of them kept walking and walking in the tunnel, and they didn't know how long they had been walking, but the scenery on both sides was still the same, the dark tunnel, and the pearl plums dotted with stars. Walking and walking, the two of them actually had an illusion, as if they were walking in the starry sky.
The two of them didn't speak, and they looked as they walked, and there was no fork in the road here, only a long road in front and back.
Yin Hou roughly calculated the distance, and was surprised-he had already walked out of Yingxue Palace quite far! Because there was no other reference on both sides, Yin Hou and Xiao Sizi couldn't figure out whether they were going up or down for a while.
The tunnel still feels like there's no end.
Yin Hou finally stopped and looked at the little fourth son.
The little fourth son put his arms around Yin Hou's neck, tilted his head and asked, "Yin Yin, where will we go?" β
Yin Hou shook his head, "I don't know the way, I may go to the earth, or I may go to the sky." β
The little fourth son thought for a while and said, "I miss my father a little." β
Yin Hou laughed, "Then let's go back?" β
The little fourth son looked at the front of the starry tunnel in front of him.
"Speaking of which, I've walked through such a long tunnel before." Yin Hou said to himself as he walked.
"Where are you going?" The little fourth son was curious.
"Climb up from Hades." Yin Hou said.
"Where has Yin Yin been to the Hades Palace?" The fourth child was curious, "What's it like over there?" β
"It's pitch black." Yin Hou seems to be a meeting, "It's not as beautiful here." β
"And how do you tell the way?" The little fourth son was curious.
Yin Hou smiled, the thinking method of children is really different from that of adults, so he said, "There is a little light in the dark." β
"Light?"
"Hmm." Yin Hou nodded, "Follow that little light, keep walking, and come out." β
Xiao Sizi sat on Yin Hou's arm, and he could see his side face. It was probably the light of the pearl plum that reflected in Yin Hou's eyes, and his unusually deep eyes seemed to have a galaxy.
Xiao Sizi gently stretched out his hand and patted Yin Hou's head.
Yin Hou was slightly stunned and looked at the little fourth son.
The little fourth son smiled at him, "You can come out of the Hades Palace, Yin Yin is so capable!" β
Yin Hou was slightly stunned, looking at the little face like the little fourth child's bun, this cute smile suddenly overlapped with the smiling face of the demon king in his memory. The man was always narrow, and he also patted his head like that, and praised him with a heartless smile, "You can come out of the Hades Palace, you are really capable!" Of course, that person is not as kind as the little fourth son, and he has to add a sentence like death at the end, "What kind of fate do you two say?" Xiaoyou has been lonely for a hundred years, you will be disgusted by everyone, you see that the Lord of Yama doesn't want you, what should you do? β
"Yin Yin."
Yin Hou was in his own trance, when he heard the little fourth son suddenly say, "Light." β
Yin Hou raised his head, and saw Xiao Sizi stretching out his hand and pointing ahead, ...... ahead A piece of light.
Yin Hou was a little dazed, this scene was really familiar......
In a trance, he stepped into the light.
However, behind the light is not the blue sky and white sun, and those familiar faces, but large areas of pearl plums.
"Wow!" The little fourth son held his face, "It's a lot, it's so bright!" β
Yin Hou also felt a little strange, there was an open space in front of him, much larger than the tunnel, surrounded by large clusters of pearl plums. Because of the effect of fluorescence, there is a strange light shining in the darkness.
The little fourth son curiously reached out and gently touched a small flower that had grown......
The flower shattered into a crystalline powder after a light touch...... Flutter gently.
Xiao Sizi blinked, "Ah! β
Yin Hou leaned over and looked at it carefully, and said, "It's frozen into powder." β
"Then let's be careful." Xiao Sizi "booed" Yin Hou, and his voice was lowered a little.
Yin Hou smiled, "These flowers are dead, they just freeze and keep their shape." β
Xiao Sizi nodded, "So be careful when you touch it, if you touch it, it will be gone." β
Yin Hou smiled and raised his face to see how tall it was...... But the moment he raised his face, he was stunned.
Seeing Yin Hou looking up, there was surprise on his face, so he also raised his face...... I saw that they seemed to be standing at the bottom of a huge chimney, the chimney was so high and high, and there were pearl plums all around, no wonder it was like this.
Yin Hou looked at it for a while, and suddenly smiled.
The little fourth son tilted his head and looked at Yin Hou.
"I know we're there." β
The fourth child asked, "Then can we get out?" I miss Daddy. β
Yin Hou pointed to it, raised the corner of his mouth, and showed a slightly evil smile, "Then fly up." β
While Xiao Sizi opened his mouth slightly, he suddenly felt Yin Hou jump up.
The little fourth son put his arms around Yin Hou's neck, and saw a large piece of pearl and plum petals passing by him, and they ...... Really flew.
The little fourth son heard the sound of the wind on both sides, and Yin Hou occasionally borrowed the power of the wall, but with a little light, he jumped up to the air again. He was careful, as if he had just said as Xiao Sizi had just said - not to touch those fragile flowers.
I don't know how long it took to talk about it, until the little fourth son's neck was a little sore, and suddenly, the wind in his ears ...... Then, the dazzling pearl plum was gone, and darkness returned to all around, but not as dark as in the tunnel, but as black as the night...... And overhead, it turned into a starry sky, and there was a bright moon.
Yin Hou fell to the ground lightly and looked at the little fourth son.
The little four opened his mouth wide and looked ahead, they seemed to be standing above the sea of clouds now, thick clouds lingering at his feet, and through the gaps between the clouds, he could see in the distance, far, far away...... One by one, there are small towns, and there is Yingxue Palace, as if the whole earth is below, the wide pipes are like thin belts, and the carriage is only one meter large.
Xiao Sizi looked at the big moon above his head again, and was surprised, "It's dark?" β
Yin Hou made his reaction amused, nodded, and asked, "Zhilu Dao, are we there?" β
Xiao Sizi shook his head, "Where is it?" β
"On the top of Tuyun Peak." Yin Hou answered.
Xiao Sizi was stunned for a while, then opened his mouth wide, "Wow...... No wonder it's been so long! β
Yin Hou looked down for a while, and after the last moment, he looked back behind him.
Where they had just come out, there was a stone tablet lying horizontally, and there was a hole behind the stone tablet.
Yin Hou walked over and reached out to gently lift the stone tablet.
The stele was lifted, and the bottom was just blocking the hole...... And at the same time......
In Gongsun's room, the oil lamp that was placed on the side of the table near the edge slowly returned to the position before the little fourth son went to get it yesterday.
Outside the room...... Everyone is still looking for these young and old people in the world of Manchu and Lu, this has been lost for a day, and they are worried about the dead!
β¦β¦
After watching the night scene for a while, Yin Hou asked the little fourth son, "Take you down?" β
Xiao Sizi nodded, but before he could understand what was going on, Yin Hou suddenly hugged him, jumped over, and jumped directly off the towering Tuyun Peak.
Xiao Sizi felt that he was with Yin Hou and began to float down...... That's right, it's floating, not falling.
Yin Hou is like a leaf, or a feather, following the mountain wind, carrying him, fluttering down.
The little fourth son sat on Yin Hou's shoulder, Yin Hou gently held his two feet with one hand, but the little fourth son could sit very firmly, as if sitting on the back of a big black bird, being led to the ground and circling.
Xiao Sizi didn't understand anything like martial arts before.
His little head, at first he thought that good martial arts was a good fight, and then when he saw Zhao Pu, he felt that martial arts could protect the people around him, and after that, he often saw Zhanzhao Bai Yutang and them competing in martial arts, and he felt that martial arts was a very good-looking and powerful existence. But now...... Xiao Sizi looked at the fading Tuyun Peak, the moon and stars that were getting smaller and smaller, and the bigger and bigger cities gradually out of sight. He suddenly had a little comprehension - is the powerful martial arts gradually detached from people and approached God?
At the foot of Tuyun Peak.
Wrapped in bandages, he was lying on the ground panting, looking up at the broken ropes and the unreachable mountaintop.
After going back to eat a full meal, he came again, this time with some experience, and the climb was smoother than last night, but still to the place where he was yesterday, he didn't catch the mountain wall and fell down.
The exhausted Tuhyeon was lying at the bottom of the mountain in a daze, and suddenly ...... I saw a big black bird flying down the mountain.
Tui Xian looked at the big bird that "flew" freely, and couldn't help but sigh, "If only I could fly like you......"
It's just that as soon as he finished speaking, his brows furrowed, and he looked at it with wide eyes...... As the big bird got closer to the ground, its figure became clearerβisn't this a person?!
Before Tui Xian came back to his senses, a black figure had already appeared in his field of vision, and with a slight fall, it was like an eagle with wings, landing on the flat ground in front of him. When he fell to the ground, he was so free, chic and elegant...... The long black hair fluttered gently with the wind, and he didn't know what was stained on his body, and the bright light was blown off the tips of his hair with the wind, like stars brought down by him.
Tu Hyun sat up stupidly, thinking that he might be dreaming. Rubbing his eyes vigorously, he saw that there was really a man in black standing in front of him, and a chubby little doll on his shoulder.
The little doll seemed to have noticed him, and looked back at him, with a round face and big eyes, and he looked four or five years old. Those eyes are clear and bright, with the unique innocence of children, as if they condense all the beauty in the world.
After Yin Hou landed, he gently patted the little pearl and plum petals on his body, and took the little fourth son to prepare to go down the mountain.
At this moment, I suddenly heard a voice behind me shouting, "Wait a minute! β
Yin Hou stood still, a little puzzled - what happened today? I always think of some things from the past, and even the voice is a little familiar.
Tu Xian stood up too quickly, stumbled behind Yin Hou, and stammered, "You...... You teach me kung fu?! β
Yin Hou was slightly stunned and glanced back.
Behind him, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy was half-sitting and half-kneeling on the ground, looking up at him, his eyes were very bright, and the expression on his face seemed to be looking at some god.
Tu Xian also saw Yin Hou looking back at his face at this time, and opened his mouth wide in surprise - who is this person? It seems to belong to the night, evil but it doesn't feel like it's a bad person, the side outline outlined by the moonlight, a god-like man. Different from the eyes of the little doll on his shoulder, these eyes are deep and silent, as if he has seen all the vicissitudes of the world, as far-reaching as the night sky.
Yin Hou looked at him for a while, and suddenly smiled, and smiled quite happily.
Tu Xian looked at the person in front of him stupidly and smiled.
Yin Hou didn't speak, turned his head, and looked left and right with curiosity, and the little four sons went down the mountain together. The night breeze blows the sleeves of the waiting, and in the dark night, it gradually drifts away.
Xiao Sizi sat on his shoulder, looked at Yin Hou, and asked, "Yin Yin, are you in a good mood?" β
Yin Hou smiled and nodded.
At this time, I heard the young man behind me standing on the hillside and shouting, "Idol! My name is Tuhyeon! It's Tuhyeon, not a fairy! You have to remember! Take me as an apprentice! β
"Yin Yin." Xiao Sizi patted Yin Hou, "That person said that he wanted you to accept him as an apprentice." β
Yin Hou looked at the little fourth son who was only four and a half years old beside him, and suddenly thought that he was probably that old, so the demon king patted him and Tianzun's heads, and said seriously, "Although there are many villains in this world, there are still a few fun people, even after a hundred years, people who like you still like you, and they will never change!" β
Yin Hou remembered that at that time, both himself and Tianzun looked at the demon king with contempt, "Liar, how many people can live for more than a hundred years?" β
"Stupid!" The demon king poked their heads and raised his eyebrows, "If you like this kind of thing, it will exist in the bloodline and be passed down from generation to generation!" Therefore, people are born to like people, and there is no need to teach. β
