The red light became more and more abundant, and the fox with scattered hair was like a mad rakshasa, he danced with his hands, and the stone walls where his palms brushed were shattered, and the thick and bloody red liquid like blood gushed out, accompanied by the astonishing heat, for a moment it was like being in a fire, and the sweat couldn't stop flowing downward.

"This is your sacrifice?" Xiong Lan sneered.

"Not only that, but you just saw the beginning." The fox grinned.

The four teenagers were stunned for a moment, Wang Mian groped around for a while, and sneered: "It's broken, I didn't bring a weapon......

The man in the distance, who was covered in firelight, smiled and approached step by step, and I don't know who shouted first, "Run!" Xiong Lan waved the clouds in the sky one after another, and a burst of snowy sword light forced Xiong Lan to take a few steps back.

After a few steps, he looked up again, and the four teenagers were gone. He laughed softly, squatted on the ground and groped for a while, found the headband that he had just thrown away, and hummed a relaxed and melodious tune in his mouth, and the previous frenzy and madness were gone, and he became the gentle, lazy and casual mysterious man again.

"A bunch of cubs." He scolded with a smile and waved his hand, as if he had received some command, the cracks on the stone wall slowly closed, and the liquid that had flowed out gradually stiffened and turned black, and after the last trace of light disappeared, the world returned to darkness.

The four of Yingyue rushed out in a panic, thinking that the outside was a safe place, but they didn't expect that after they finally came out, there was a thick fog between heaven and earth, as if everyone's eyes were covered with a white veil before, and it was difficult to confirm each other's identities face to face. You can only tell the position of your companion by your voice.

The mud outside was so sticky that it was difficult to walk an inch, and they walked with difficulty for a while, and the hearts they had been carrying relaxed.

"It's silent, he shouldn't be able to see where we are." Wang Mian breathed a sigh of relief and said.

"Boom"! As if mocking what he said, the spired house behind him suddenly burst into a loud noise, a heat wave hit his face, and the fox's maniacal laughter came out again: "Do you really think this can stop me?" Amusing! ”

In response to his words, the thick fog that was as white as substance dissipated in an instant, and he stepped on his feet with a tom, like an ancient demon god coming, and his momentum was terrifying.

Chased by the fox behind him, the four people who couldn't distinguish their companions fled in a panic, and the distance between them became farther and farther, and when Yingyue came back to his senses, he couldn't hear the voice of his companion.

This strange courtyard doesn't look very vast, but when you really step into it, you find that there is a hole in the sky, and the weeds that grow up to a person's height all over the ground are swaying in the wind, brushing your head and face from time to time, and the itchy center can't help but be suspicious.

Ying Yue clenched his fists, and at this time, beads of sweat were oozing from his palms, and he lowered his voice and shouted: "Xiong Lan? The crown? ”

No one answered, and the surrounding grass and trees rattled.

He looked up anxiously, and there was a thick fog on all sides, and suddenly a glimmer of light flashed not far ahead.

He rejoiced, and the anticipation in his heart drove him to trot over.

It's getting closer, it's getting closer......

He stopped suddenly, and the lights in front of him were bright, and it was an orange light, swaying in a miserable white, and it looked so warm.

But in Yingyue's eyes, the light was very strange at the moment, he grew his mouth, and his face turned pale in an instant.

The place where the light came out was the deserted palace they had seen before!

"Xiao Langjun, are you lost?" The gentle and slender voice came, and a little extra light was separated from the light, and he walked slowly towards Yingyue.

It was an old woman, it was not appropriate to say that she was an old woman, she had white hair like brocade, she was hunched at the waist, and she looked old from a distance, but when she approached, she lifted a lantern, and the firelight illuminated her face, which was surprisingly white and tender, with cherry red lips and a jade-like nose, and then abruptly covered with a layer of hideous iron surface, and two horns stretched out from the top of her head, and only one eye in the mask was as bright as black glass, and the other was hidden under the iron mask, so she looked at Yingyue with this one eye, and said: "Xiao Langjun, Can you hear me? ”

Ying Yue didn't answer, he somehow, listening to the woman's gentle voice, he suddenly remembered Huang Ma who was far away in Yunhuang, that woman as gentle as a mother, would try her best to make him laugh, afraid of his sadness every minute and every second, and didn't want tears in his eyes...... He thought so, and suddenly his nose was sore, even if you are lovesick, the person you can remember is already thousands of miles away, and the voice is no longer there.

"Mama Huang......" he muttered.

The woman frowned--- her eyebrows were hidden under the iron mask, but her expression made Ying Yue believe that she was frowning.

"Huang Ma...... I'm being bullied here......" The boy seemed to be distracted, and he whispered to himself, as if to confide in someone, "but I have made some friends too...... They were all very nice to me......"

The woman waved her hand, and the fog around her gradually gathered in this place, and she turned around, and the fog poured in between the two of them.

"Ah Yue...... Want to go back...... I want to see my mother......"

The woman's body trembled as if struck by lightning.

She pressed the young man's shoulder and asked in a trembling voice, "What did you just say...... What's your name? ”

"Yingyue ......" The young man came back to his senses, he was startled by the scene in front of him, a tearful eye in the woman's hideous iron face, tears glistening, and the pupils seemed to reflect someone's appearance.

"Where are you from?"

"Northwest Yunhuang, after the Qin people!" The boy replied suddenly, reflexively. This was what his indifferent father had taught him from a young age, that whenever and wherever he was, he should straighten his back, raise his head, and answer in no doubt.

Hearing this, the woman's hand on his shoulder finally stopped trembling, raised it as if to caress Yingyue's face, and finally hung down weakly, "Sure enough...... It's what he'll say. ”

"Come with me." She hunched over and lifted the lantern to the other side of the light.

"Mother-in-law...... I also have friends who were ......"

"They'll be fine." The woman didn't look back, "Mr. Fox is just playing with them, and you're different, keep up with it, it's up to you." ”

She continued walking.

"No...... No way. After hearing this, the woman lowered her head and sighed, turned her head and said, "Don't you want to know about your mother's affairs?" ”

One sentence is like a thunderbolt. Ying Yue's eyes blurred, and the woman in white ...... Rose in the firelight, like a forest's sword...... Two lines of blood and tears.

He glanced back, then followed.

"Yingyue, right?" The woman looked down at the boy who was drinking tea and said softly.

"Do you really know my mother?" Ying Yue couldn't hold back any longer, put down the teacup and asked directly.

After the woman brought him in, she kept asking him questions with a hammer and a mallet, and kept asking him to drink water and eat some refreshments, the palace looked deserted on the outside, but it was full of traces of human life inside, there were no spider webs between the beams, the corners and corners were very clean, the tea and snacks were fresh, and probably changed from time to time.

This woman's words revealed a feeling of being very familiar with Yingyue's family, like a friend for many years, but she has been separated for many years, and she is eager to know the current situation of the other party.

Hearing his words, the woman said lightly, "I can tell you, but ...... I want you to promise me two conditions. ”

"You speak."

"One, don't tell anyone I'm here when you go out...... Except that the emperor asked about you. She stretched out two fingers, "Second, I want you to live alone for a long time, and you will inevitably be lonely." I want you to come and talk to my old woman often, not too long, until ...... I'll be dead until I'm done, okay? ”

Her tone has always been light, and she talks about her death lightly.

"I won't live long, maybe tomorrow, maybe now, maybe ...... If you die, I won't die. ”

Ying Yue was dumbfounded.

"Look at the way you look, I'm laughing." The woman laughed, her laughter was full of youthful vitality, very different from her rotten and old temperament, "Don't worry, before I die, I will definitely tell you everything, all you want to know, all you don't know." ”

"But ......"

"There's nothing good about 'but'."

"My Friend ......"

"I said, don't worry, they're already outside the door at the moment." The woman smiled softly.

"Maniac...... Ho ho ...... Absolute lunatic, utter lunatic! The crown clasped his hands on his knees and shouted out of breath.

Next to him was Xiong Lan, and the cold young man was also sweating profusely, panting for his life with the "clouds in the world". The two of them ran in the direction of the gate in their memory when the fox seemed to be rushing over, and the fog became thinner and thinner along the way, until the surroundings became clear again, and when they looked back, they were already in the palace, and the vermilion lacquer gate was tightly closed, but it could no longer be opened.

Gasping and panting, Wang Mian suddenly remembered something, and he asked urgently: "Where is Yingyue?" Not following you? ”

"Didn't I follow you, I could hear him all the time." Xiong Lan said strangely.

"It's over!" The two looked at each other and called out.

"It's not just Yingyue, that person...... Didn't come out either. ”

"Tong Qianzuo."

Only then did Wang Mian realize the importance of the problem, a prince and a prince disappeared in Yanjing, or disappeared in the Forbidden Palace, and put them in the teahouse, that is an excellent script, put it in reality...... There is only one end, that is, the anger of the Son of Heaven, the indignation of the princes, the rekindling of the border beacons, and the suffering of the people of the world again.

Ironically, the lives of 10,000 people are sometimes tied to two children.

When they couldn't think of a way to turn around in a hurry, there was a sudden sound of footsteps in the door, and they thought that the fox Yan had chased after them, and they were about to run reflexively, but the footsteps were soft and thin, accompanied by the sound of dragging heavy objects.

They glanced at each other, leaned on the door, banged hard, and shouted anxiously, "Is it Ah Yue?" Ah Yue? ”

After a long time, the man inside the door also replied with joy, "Yes, it is me." ”

"Is that Lan over there? What about the crown? ”

"We're all here." Wang Mian said, "Is Tong Qianzuo by your side?" ”

The voice listened for a moment, and replied helplessly: "Yes." But he fainted. It's like being scared. ”

"How did you get out?"

"I don't know, just leave...... Just get out"

Before he could finish his next words, the door in front of him suddenly blurred under his nose, rippling like a lake, and an arm suddenly stretched out, followed by the thin figure of a young man...... There was also a man's collar in his hand.

"Just walk away...... It's out......" the boy sneered.
