Volume 2: Armageddon Chapter 68: Memories

Cui Houqing's face changed greatly. The red light in the magic circle shook violently, and suddenly a loud bang erupted, the red light scattered, and countless ghosts suddenly rose into the sky, submerged into the ground of the stone wall, and disappeared without a trace in a blink of an eye. It's just that Cui Houqing can take care of so much, through the chaos of images, he looked straight at the young man.

The young man held his hands in the air with his hands, but his head slowly drooped.

Cui Houqing rushed to the young man's side like lightning and held his body, but the young man's head still drooped down slowly but inexorably. It's just that in his mouth, it seems that he is still struggling to say something.

Cui Houqing desperately approached the young man, but in the already muffled voice, they could only vaguely hear a few intermittent words:

"Hmm...... Shroud ...... Hmm...... Shroud ...... Not...... Want me to ...... Instead of ......"

The voice fell silent, and his head eventually hung down on his chest, and nothing was heard from him again.

The coldness through the bones, like being in a deep underworld ice prison, Cui Houqing stayed in the local area, looking at all this in disbelief.

The dissipated red light gradually disappeared, the turbulent river of blood quieted down, and the blood stains that had lost their strength could no longer imprison the blood, and the fresh human blood flowed all over the ground.

The light smoke on the clouds submerged into Wang Wenqing's body like a long whale sucking water, and disappeared into the sky. The wisp of green smoke in the sky actually laughed wildly as if it came to life at this moment, and the laughter was strange and unpredictable, and the sound spread for hundreds of miles!

"Haha, Void, Void Emperor, Void Emperor's world has another pathetic person!" the wisp of green smoke stammered.

"Ah, nothing.... Shen Xuan ...... "The green smoke seemed to be controlled by something, struggling to break free, but after saying this, it was pulled back and disappeared into the sky. With a "coax", the gathered clouds dissipated and disappeared without a trace.

With a gentle shake, accompanied by the sound of whirring wind, Wang Wenqing's body slowly fell, and she returned to lying on the root of the tree, her hands were as quiet as before.

The deathly silence permeated the woods, lingering for a long time, and there was no longer the slightest sound......

"Knock, knock, knock......" Only the sound of the heart beating echoed.

Cui Houqing's heart was beating faster and faster, and he saw with his own eyes that the soul condensed by the ten souls drilled into Wang Wenqing's body.

After a long time, the figure was still lying quietly on the root of the tree, showing no sign of waking up.

"Alas, failed!" Cui Houqing sighed and turned around, and no one saw a tear drop from him to the ground.

Cui Houqing seemed to have been emptied of his body, sat down on the ground, and stared at the fire in front of him. After a while, the young man was silent again, Cui Houqing came to his senses, he forcibly suppressed his grief, staggered behind the young man, and said hoarsely: "Until now, I don't know your name!"

With all his strength, he lowered the boy's body to the ground, and broke his clenched hands, which were written in blood with the last of his strength.

There is no way in the secret realm, and it detains people's souls! Eight crooked blood characters are written on the palm of his hand, I don't know what he wants to tell him?

Cui Houqing frowned and thought about it for a while, but he never understood the meaning of this sentence. This distraction calmed his mind a little, so he got up, went to the other side of the fire, picked up the stone and dug it into the ground.

Cui Houqing dragged the boy into a deep pit, filled it with broken soil, and a grave was made. He bowed deeply to the grave, because he didn't know the name of the boy, so he didn't put up a tombstone in front of the grave.

Just as Cui Houqing was gloomyly looking at the grave, he suddenly muttered beside him, as if someone had woken up. Cui Houqing woke up suddenly, trembled, turned to look, and saw Wang Wenqing rubbing his forehead and sitting up.

"Huh, what's going on?" Wang Wenqing jumped as if he had discovered something surprising.

Cui Houqing looked towards the place she pointed, and saw that the blood map on the ground had not dried up, and the blood in it was still flowing in a halo, and the ghost cries bursting, making people's scalp tingle.

Cui Houqing didn't answer, but Wang Wenqing continued: "What are you doing? Who died?"

Cui Houqing walked over and helped Wang Wenqing up, and asked softly, "How do you feel?"

Wang Wenqing seemed to be a little weak, and she was a little staggered when she just stood up, Cui Houqing quickly stretched out her hands and pressed her temples.

"I ...... I...... It seems that she has remembered everything, what is going on?" Wang Wenqing became excited as soon as she pondered for a while, and she threw herself into Cui Houqing's arms and shed tears excitedly.

"Your memory has completely recovered?" Cui Houqing's face showed a hint of joy.

After a moment, she pulled her head out of his arms, mumbled, and said, "What's going on?"

Cui Houqing pointed to the grave next to him and said, "It's him!"

"Who is he?" Wang Wenqing asked again.

"He's the boy from the night before!"

Although their questions and answers were not comprehensive, Wang Wenqing was such a smart person, and he immediately understood what was going on when he recalled it.

Wang Wenqing pulled Cui Houqing to the fire and sat down side by side. She placed his arm on her shoulder, rested her head lightly on the side, and just baked the fire silently.

Early in the morning, it's a new day.

......

Seven days later, there were more and more rumors about the appearance of zombies in the area around Qinglong Temple, and within a radius of 100 miles, with the canal city at the foot of the mountain as the center, people fleeing could be seen everywhere. It seems that in the world at this moment, only the towering Qinglong Temple can give people a little comfort and security.

In the midst of the noise of countless people, Canal City is the most chaotic place, the streets and alleys are crowded with people, the original inns and restaurants in the city have long been full of people, and more refugees who have fled have to sleep in the open air. In this case, the food supply in Canal City has become very tight, but fortunately, because the city is right next to the river, there is no need to worry about the water supply.

Originally, in this chaotic situation, it is difficult to guarantee that some evil things such as robbery and murder will not happen, and there are indeed such rumors from time to time, who disappeared yesterday, and today I heard that someone was lying on the street. But after all, Canal City is under the Qinglong Temple, and the Qinglong Temple has already made preparations and sent a considerable number of disciples to maintain order in the city, so in general, nothing happened to these countless refugees in this catastrophe.

However, as the terrifying zombie rumors get worse day by day, no one can predict what tomorrow will be?

In the early morning, when the sky was just getting bright, the sky around Qinglong Temple was covered with dark clouds, and soon raindrops fell. The rain grew from small to heavy, and soon the heavens and the earth became gray, and the sound of the rain was everywhere, shrouding the towering mountains in a cloud of mist, which seemed hazy and mysterious.

The sound of the rain hitting the green bamboo leaves seems to have not changed for thousands of years, and it will always seem very lonely on the Qinglong Temple. From the moss-covered roof of the roof, which extends out from the mossy roof, the water droplets turn into a curtain of water from the ticking room, and the wisps fall like pearls and fall on the bluestone-paved ground, splashing water particles like pearl crumbs.

There is wind in the rain, blowing in the rain flowers one after another, with a touch of moisture and rain powder, wandering between the windowsills, as if they are also nostalgic for something.

Yi Zhen'er stood in front of the window, looking at the misty rain and mountains outside the window, endlessly, in such a cold time, it seems that only the sound of rain hitting bamboo leaves in the distance echoes in the mountains and rivers of heaven and earth.

The breeze passed, the dark hair on her sideburns fluttered gently, and the feeling of rain powder brushing her face seemed to be a burst of coldness into her skin. She pursed her lips lightly, holding her hand on the windowsill, and the sound of the rain sounded far and near, but in the end it seemed to fall deep in her heart.

I just don't know, are there any ripples?

Footsteps sounded outside the house, someone knocked lightly on the door, Yi Zhen'er looked back silently, quietly recovered from the misty smoke and rain, walked over and opened the door, and it was her husband Lin Haoran standing outside the door.

His move made Yi Zhen'er very stunned, in the past, he kicked the door open, he had never been so gentle, what happened today?

He brushed his sideburns, let him into the house, and smiled indifferently: "Haoran, why are you here?"

Lin Haoran frowned, and did not speak immediately, he walked around the room, as if he was looking for something, but after all, he found nothing.

There was some silence in the room for a while, and she didn't know what to say, but after a while, Yi Zhen'er opened her mouth and said softly: "Haoran, do you doubt me again?"

Lin Haoran pondered for a long time and said, "Zhen'er, I know a little bit about your thoughts, but it's never a way for you to go on like this, Zhang ...... That person has entered the Demon Dao after all, and is spurned by the righteous path of the world, and he took a step back and said, this time I listened to the secret report of the southwest, and on the battlefield of the fierce battle between the Demon Sect and the zombies, you ...... the scene there."

Lin Haoran suddenly stopped and didn't say anything, because at this moment, Yi Zhen'er's face seemed to lose its bloody color in an instant, and even her clear eyes seemed to be engraved with deep pain.

There was silence for a long time in the middle of the room, and the sound of rain outside the window was lonely.

Finally, Lin Haoran still said in a low voice: "He is only afraid that he is really no longer alive, you are so persistent, it will only be you who suffers." ”

Yi Zhen'er's face was pale, she didn't speak, she stood up slowly, walked to the windowsill and stared out, the mountain rain and fog, misty and lingering, like a dream, even the rain powder droplets blowing in the wind at this moment, as if there was a trace of unreal feeling in the cold.

"I know ......" the cold and beautiful woman, in this rain of smoke, said softly: "He may really be gone, sometimes I also think about it, in fact, for him, this is not a relief." I also know that it is not wrong for you to scold me, it is me who is wrong, I should not be delusional, I should not be ...... Shouldn't...... I want him to return to the right path. ”

Her voice suddenly choked a little, Lin Haoran stood up, and was about to go up to comfort her, but Yi Zhen'er suddenly turned around, and her red clothes fluttered between the turns, like a lonely cloud.

For some reason, Lin Haoran was a little irritable in his heart, maybe he thought that she had affection for him!

The teacup was swept away by the sleeve robe and fell to the corner behind the door and shattered to the ground.

Lin Haoran didn't look back, and strode out.

......

Silence covered everything again, the sound of rain outside the window was rushing, and there seemed to be a low choking sound in the wind. Outside the hut, at the edge of the bamboo forest, Master Dashan stood silently, holding an oilcloth green umbrella in his hand, looking at the house in the wind and rain in a daze.

Then, he slowly turned away and disappeared into the bamboo forest.

Between heaven and earth, the wind and rain are bleak, and it is a bleak time.

In Canal City, it usually rains.

Suddenly, at this moment, a frightened scream erupted from the crowd in the distance on the southern edge of Canal City, and the voice was terrible.

Everyone was taken aback, and when they looked back, the people on the street next to them also turned their heads in unison, only to see that the street that was originally full of people was staggering, and the towering city wall in the distance was also full of people, but at this moment they were all running around. In the misty rain, a terrible scream sounded in the sky, a huge zombie opened its arms, a pair of big eyes flashed with blood-red fierceness, from the sky, the wings spread, there was half a city gate wide, it was really terrifying.

The huge wind was driven by the giant bird, and the wind struck, and the mast on the city wall was broken by the fierce wind and fell down. The people at the head of the wall were terrified and ran in all directions, and the giant bird fell from the sky, with a scream, and its huge and sharp claws grabbed the two running people like a demon's hand, and then rose to the sky, and disappeared into the sky in a blink of an eye.

The entire Canal City fell into a dead silence in an instant, and after a long time, I don't know who was the first to exclaim: "Zombies, it's zombies coming, we're finished......"

In an instant, the whole city fell into hysteria, and countless people howled loudly, wailed, and chaos.

Only the sky and the earth were clouded with smoke and rain, and it was still silent, as if nothing had happened!
