"Lao Bai, knife!"

In a burst of tinnitus, Bai Ya heard Qi Huan's cry, which was almost covered by layers of humming, and it seemed a little illusory. He turned his head and saw the broken blade that Qi Huan had thrown nearby, and immediately rolled back to the side of the knife, picked it up, and distanced himself from the monster.

Bai Ya covered his neck with his other hand and felt the warm blood, but the amount was not large, it just looked terrible.

Suddenly, several fragments flashed in front of his eyes.

Just as his blood touched the broken blade, strange scenes flashed before his eyes. He vaguely felt that there was some memory sealed in this knife...... Was it left by the father? People can indeed use some magic to extract some memories from the personal objects of the deceased and project them in some way. This is what many goddesses or Taoists can do. It's just that the information has always been abstract, and there are many charlatans who use it to interpret it arbitrarily and make money wantonly.

But the eyes of blood relatives with the same spiritual root can see more intuitively.

Although Bai Ya got the weapon, his pupils were a little dilated. Unexpectedly, Chu Tianyan, who was possessed by the python god, no longer paid attention to him, as if Bai Ya was no longer some kind of threat. In other words, what Qihuan has done at this moment needs to be dealt with more often. And when the memories kept flashing back in Bai Ya's mind, he couldn't move, and lost the ability to fight back in a whirlwind.

But he didn't just see, he heard something special......

"My son will come to me."

From his point of view, he said such a thing, and it was clearly his father's voice. And the face that listened to him face to face was none other than the ordinary great priest Chu Tianyan. Between them is a game of chess, the grid is crookedly carved, and the chess pieces are irregular stones that are close to black and white. His father was holding a white child, and while saying this, he hesitated how to settle the child.

"Hmm...... I believe you can teach such a good son. But a lost place is not a place that is easy to find. If I hadn't happened to meet you outside, you wouldn't have found this place. You are firm in your heart and always know what you are doing, so you don't belong here. ”

"Isn't this just the right time to relieve your boredom." Bai Sha smiled and knocked Bai Zi in one place, "It's your turn." ”

Chu Tianyan put down the teacup and looked left and right at the chessboard. He was probably in a bitter battle, after all, he hadn't met a decent opponent for a long time, and he was somewhat taken lightly. His gaze wandered over the chessboard, one hand rubbing the sunspot back and forth. These pieces were not as smooth as they are now, and they were slowly sharpened off in this way.

"You're still alone? The last time we saw each other was more than 20 years ago, right? At that time......"

"The kid just hasn't been gone for long." Bai Sha stretched out a sharp knife from under his coat and gestured at a height, "My son is probably so tall." ”

"When I saw you, I didn't know you were gone. At that time, he joked that he would invite me to eat the child's full moon wine. When I went back to hand in the task, I realized that you were ...... Defected. ”

"At that time, I didn't know you well, and I didn't dare to say anything, the less I knew, the better...... Or you are relaxed, the time is short, and it is convenient to come and go. ”

"Thanks to you for saying more. I'm really afraid that I will know too much and be cut off by you, but fortunately I don't owe it that much. But I know that you are not as cruel and perverse as the rumors, but you are both black and white. Even those vicious and cruel scenes are only the requirements of the left gate, and you have always put an end to it with one sword, and you will never add pain to the target...... Well, I'm not easy, not necessarily. It's just that when you're busy, you can pick out some food from between your left front teeth. Speaking of which, they buried their sister-in-law and the others in one place, you know. During the holidays, I will burn some paper money to comfort the souls in the sky. Madame is a good person. ”

"If we do this, we won't talk about good people and bad people, they will all be killed by the court...... I am grateful for burning incense. But

I'm not going to let you do that. ”

With that, he left another son behind. Chu Tianyan was a little surprised, looking at the intricate chess game. He has escaped death many times, and he has not set up a game for Baisha, but the little tricks were quickly seen through and failed. He hesitated and said with a wry smile:

"You're ruthless. But speaking of which, I really didn't think that those of us who licked the blood from the knife edge would also have a day of sitting here comfortably, playing chess and drinking tea. ”

"yes...... It's also fate, we don't have much to do with each other. It was a coincidence that I met you in this Nine Heavens. Except for the last time, we seem to have only met once. You look young and have barely changed. I have been hiding in Tibet with my son all these years, although my mentality is good...... But it is estimated that it is also a lot older. Sometimes I pass by the familiar faces of the left gate, and no one recognizes me at a glance, and I really don't know whether to cry or laugh. ”

"I've just learned the method of rejuvenating my face, and I'm already an old man in my heart."

Chu Tianyan finally picked a place. Without much hesitation, Bai Sha followed closely and took the next step.

"After all these years, aren't you just a person? Haven't you ever thought about getting a wife and living a good life? ”

"Wouldn't it be nice for me to be a priest here? Whether it's a woman or a friend, I don't care about it now. Serving the gods wholeheartedly is probably the best way for a person like me to repent with blood on his hands. ”

After Chu Tianqi fell, Bai Sha was a little surprised. It was a very small detail, and he didn't pay attention to it as he chatted. The situation took a subtle turn of events, which not only made him frown and seriously re-study the game. He turned the white son with one hand, looking left and right. Before the piece had fallen, he asked another question:

"Speaking of which...... What kind of god is your temple dedicated to? I only heard that it was a native god, but I didn't know the name. What does he control, what does he bless, and what are the particulars and taboos? ”

"Uh......"

Chu Tianyan's mouth was vague, and he didn't seem to know where to introduce this god. He thought about it again and again, as much as Baisha thinking about the chess game. After a long time, he said slowly:

"Bai Ye, I'm not afraid that you are biased, this is an evil god."

"Huh?" Bai Sha was a little surprised, but his reaction was not as big as Chu Tianyan thought, "I don't care about this, but I'm more worried about you, if you leak something, won't you be punished......

"That's it, so to speak." He picked up the teacup, which was already cold, "You should know the difference between good and evil gods. ”

"I'm not an expert, it's all nonsense, please forgive me if I offend." He finally left a son, and fished out a new son and held it in his hand, "I heard that the gods and Buddhas with names and surnames that people worship are all good gods. The good god accepts the good will, and whether it is his believer or not, as long as it is a good wish, he will respond to his request, and if it is a bad wish, he will also send punishment. And after the wish is fulfilled, if a person has the heart to worship and burn incense, and deliberately repays the wish, this is excellent; It doesn't matter if you fail to return your vow for any reason. Evil gods, on the other hand, will only respond to the devout followers of the religion, or those who are most likely to become believers afterwards. And whatever kind of desire, evil and good nature are accepted by the evil gods. And the price demanded by the evil gods is even heavier, and even those who do not repay their wishes will be rewarded. ”

Chu Tianyan nodded: "That's pretty much it." This evil god is a python god who came down from the way of animals, and his name is Maharaja. The emotional rules of the world do not apply to it, and the so-called good and evil are determined by others. To say that it is an evil god is only the verdict of man, but it is only a little ...... Apathy, and don't respond to everything. I'm in the midst of this, as an ordinary matchmaker, building a bridge of communication between the lost and the python god, that's all. ”

"A companion is like a tiger, you have to be more careful."

"Thank you for your concern. You should also pay more attention to the fact that you are not from this place, so it is not advisable to stay here for a long time. Since you don't care and know the truth, I still have to remind you. Lord Python, for the mistake

Those who enter the territory are not tolerant. In a few days, it will be the day of the sacrifice of the python god. Until then, you should leave as soon as possible, and no matter what happens, you should not look back, and go all the way out, and do not hesitate. Otherwise, you will anger the gods, and even I will not be able to save you. ”

After that, the sky gully fell casually. He was suddenly stunned, and reacted, he was afraid that he had made a mistake in that step just now. No one has played chess with him for too long, and he is a little negligent when he patronizes and chats. Chu Tianyan frowned, and his fingers paused for a long time at the position where Fang had just landed.

"Thanks for the reminder...... But Xiao Chu, he has no regrets. ”

Chu Tianyan smiled helplessly, and he recognized it.

This can be regarded as the longest fragment, but it flashes quickly in Bai Ya's eyes, like a short dream stuffed with lengthy content, and when he opens his eyes, it is just a dream. After that, there are some intermittent scenes, all of which are fragments of Baisha's memories, scenes where he helps those who are lost.

He was scheduled to leave on the day of the sacrifice.

Those scenes, suddenly at a certain moment, were covered with blood, and everything became blurred, as if the memory was grabbed by a bloody hand. Everything became a black silhouette, but all sounds were gone. The things flickered strangely and twistedly, making it hard to tell. The last thing that came out was a strange and absurd scene.

The lost who are usually kind and kind seem to have turned into new faces. It was as if he had come to another world, full of crippled people. But they were clearly still alive.

Help me. They shouted, subtle, piercing, staccato and continuous...... Scattered here and there were mutilated human limbs, not animals. There were people who had been cut in half and crossed the path and crawled slowly, leaving red blood stains; There are people who have lost their eyes wandering around, but passing through it just as they are about to hit something; Someone holds their head and walks steadfastly in one direction, no matter what obstacles lie ahead......

It's like a living person who has strayed into the ghost world. Or are they all dead ghosts?

Help, Divine Officer Chu...... Where is the High Priest?

Their wails continued.

He should have gone, and he walked without looking back.

But how could he not care?

He really found Chu Tianyan's figure, wearing a sacrificial robe. The ghosts followed him, and countless pairs of hands, black and red, seeped out of the ground and dragged him, but he only walked slowly forward with heavy steps. He walked very slowly, but he couldn't catch up, and no matter how much he shouted Chu Tianyan's name, he turned a deaf ear.

Following Bai Sha's line of sight, the surrounding screen galloped backwards. He frantically followed Chu Tianyan and rushed in the direction of the temple, and the familiar faces of the past days became unfamiliar at this time. Those red and white witches, along with the red and black priests, stood on both sides of the steps of the temple in unison, their eyes empty and godless, like unconscious sculptures.

Chu Tianqi disappeared into the temple, and the ground was covered with strange, tiny claw marks.

"What the hell is going on?!" He asked.

But no one answered. He tried to storm the temple, but no one stopped him. He kept chasing Chu Tianyan's back, and the pictures on both sides were muddy, and only the distant human figure was left in the center. The field of vision will be bent, probably the footsteps are turning and falling, and Bai Ya who is substituted in it cannot be determined.

This is a ladder with no end in sight.

Bai Ya felt that his father was starting to feel tired. He slowly stopped and began to readjust his breathing. Is this a ghost hitting the wall? He didn't know, and he didn't know if his father knew. I can't say it's all an illusion...... No matter how much he said it, it was just an anomaly witnessed by a mortal in the flesh.

Let's go back. He heard his father sigh slightly.

The gauzy color of blood faded. As he turned around, a hoarse voice he had never heard before whispered in his ear.

"Master Bai, no regrets......
