Volume 1: Huangquan December Chapter 211: Don't have branches
Jimen was not able to be defeated, and the murderous door was defeated.
Originally, everything was peaceful when I entered through the torii gate...... What's disturbing the layout of this place? Is it the anomaly caused by the earthquake? It was the earthquake that caused the earthquake to happen, and it brought misfortune.
Xungong Dumen belongs to wood, small murder or said Zhongping. Disturbing Dumen should be something that has been hacked. Something earthy? Probably not, they didn't come in with any rashness at all. If it was Dumen, they should run due south, and the palace view gate was one of the Jimen. And the opening of the door is the door of great luck, it belongs to gold, is there something that suppresses the gold phase, causing the Jimen Jixiang to be destroyed? It must be fire. If they open the door in the Qiangong, the nearest safe place should be the Kangong Xiumen.
"Run northeast!"
It was a knee-jerk decision. Humen belongs to the water, lives in the northern Kan Palace, and is the gate of the second auspicious. And further west from here is the gate of shock, and the Lord's horror, trauma, and official wrongdoings are also a major murderous gate. Yamakai wasn't sure if the judgment he had made in a short period of time was correct, but there was no other way, and he believed that the first feeling was the best, even if the decision-making process was a little rough. After all, no matter whether they are in the Xun Palace or the Qiangong Palace, the distance to the Gen Palace is the same, and they have to cross the palace again, either auspicious or vicious.
"Where's the North?!"
The so-called inability to find the north refers to the current situation without a sense of direction. Fortunately, Shanhai probably drew a map in his heart, and only let them follow him. Along the way, corpses kept crawling out of the swamps on both sides, and fierce ghosts rushed forward.
It wasn't just a few of them who noticed the tremor at that time. This is especially true in the realm of the living. Shi Wuqi is felt from the outside—a world of fresh air and deserted huts. He was keenly aware that the source of the earthquake was coming from the courtyard, from the well. He had wandered outside the torii for a while, finding nothing, and then returned to the present world, walking a long distance in the barren land. Even though he knew it might be futile, he just couldn't sit still. He had been talking to the kapok girl long enough and decided to walk around with Ah Qi alone.
He had to rush back, he knew. At dusk, the color of the whole world becomes like the realm of life and death where the torii gate stands, like the eternal twilight, as if the night will come in the next second, as if the dawn will never come again. The junction between the withered yellow earth and the sky in the distance became blurred, and he just ran back with Qi. The more I go back, the more I can feel the breath of strangers.
He knew the "stranger" about him, but his memory was so thin that he couldn't even be sure. It may also be because the person has left that the residual smell is less noticeable. But there was another smell he had never smelled, from someone he had never met.
He broke down the door – it was a child.
A girl. She was sitting with Kapok. As soon as she saw Shi Wuqi coming back, the Kapok girl complained.
"Two rude guys are coming!" She ran up and grabbed the hem of his clothes, "One of them is...... It's a youkai. It's horrible, they've killed people, I can see it at a glance. ”
"Don't panic, you speak slowly."
Kapok swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and then said: "That momentum, I thought they must be looking for you, and I secretly decided in my heart that even if I die, I won't say a word!" But they didn't even look at me, and they didn't even enter the house, but chased me straight into the well. I'm so worried - I didn't say you were out there. The child was a hostage, but they left her here......"
When Kapok spoke, Shi Wuqi's eyes kept on the little girl. Her hair was long, but it wasn't well groomed and looked a little fluffy. The face is not dirty, it should have been washed, but it is not finely rubbed, and it always makes people feel that there is uneven plaster in the place where it connects with the neck. The clothes didn't fit well, they were slightly larger, old but clean. The first thing he noticed was not these, but the girl's demeanor. Her eyes were timid, and her limbs were alert and timidly curled up together, hugging herself. It wasn't simply scared, it wasn't stupid, but it didn't shine at all—in other words, it didn't have the spirit of a child. And these cowardly reactions are nothing more than the instinct of an outlier cub.
Wu Qi searched for a feeling in her, an illusion that he had when he first saw her.
She's like a human being...... He hadn't remembered yet. According to Kapok's description, he could easily remember who those two people were, and the monster among them, Kapok seemed to change his words about the six ways of impermanence in order to avoid trouble. There was a little, a little bit of similarity between her eyebrows to Tang He, but it was so trance-like that it made Wu Qi wonder if it was because he thought of the person at the time that he had mistakenly overlapped her face with the impression in his thoughts. If you look closely, they don't really look like that.
So who is she like?
He's seen it, he's definitely seen it. The dark golden eyes flowed slowly, and there was some kind of viscous light dancing in them. The little girl looked at him no differently, probably not seeing these changes. The Hellway gave him a lot of harsh punishments and generously gave him what he didn't have.
For a moment, he saw the little girl's soul overlapping her skin. The face of the soul was so familiar to him that it was astonishing, but ...... it? The more anxious he was, the more he couldn't remember. The time that really passed deprived him of too much.
Shi Wuqi walked over, squatted at the foot of the bed, and asked her.
"Don't be afraid, I'm not like those people...... What is your name? ”
The girl's eyes were wide and round, and she couldn't tell if it was fear or what. She instinctively shrunk a little, but there was a cloud in her pupils that cut herself off from the rest of the world.
"Can you tell me your name?"
He asked again in a different way, trying to keep his voice as soft as possible. After a while, the little girl whispered:
"Beanie. Jiang Doudou. ”
"Okay, Miss Jiang."
He tried to reach out, but finding the gesture a little offensive, he took it back. He was worried that this girl would run away, but since even Tang He dared to leave her here, he might know that she was not so "stupid". In contrast, he was even more worried about the situation of the Dead Man's Swamp, so he gave Kapok a little advice, and hurriedly ran to the well outside the house.
The western sky can see the footsteps of the night. Wu Qi jumped down with Ah Qi without hesitation. The realm of death and life is still at dusk, and it doesn't even look as late as it is in the present world. But the sky in the area around the torii gate was dark, and he was puzzled. Originally, until I could see the torii, the whole sky was unusual. There is an explanation: bizarre meteorology spreads from there. He quickly found the location of the torii gate with him, and saw from a distance that the seal that was originally filled with runes turned into a black vortex.
The miasma is spreading continuously, and it is not too thick, but it should also cause alarm. Strangely colored lightning flashed and crackled from the center of the whirlpool. Apparently, the seal was opened, by abnormal means. Shi Wuqi didn't think much about it, and rushed forward. This time, nothing kept him out, but he clearly felt something stagnant hold him back for a moment. After getting rid of the indescribable touch, he immediately came to the world of the torii.
As soon as he turned around, the torii gate behind him disappeared. It was empty and empty.
"Seven?!"
He shouted, but no one responded. Shi Wuqi couldn't feel Ah Qi's existence at all, and there was no smell at all. He suddenly regretted that he should have grabbed her hand and rushed in. But he didn't think much of it at the time. Wu Qi forced himself to calm down, because he immediately noticed that the spiritual power in his body was also turned away, and he was cut off with Miss Qi.
Spiritual power is an important sense for him, almost like his mouth, eyes, hands and feet, but he usually does not have that consciousness. The next moment he lost it, he was keenly aware that he seemed to have lost some kind of sense, which was overwhelming. It's a good thing that Miss Qi wasn't pulled in by him, otherwise she would only be a real corpse here, and he wouldn't be able to command it no matter what.
Although Aqi's disappearance disturbed him, he knew what to do in such a situation. There are two kinds of footprints on the ground, both of which are very shallow. Either they are people who are not heavy in themselves, or they are people who are good at light work. After walking some distance, a lot of dragging mud appeared on the ground, like the traces of animals crawling out of the swamp. These stretches of mud are covered in some sort of messy trace. He wiped away some of the dry, blood-stained mud with his bare hands, and saw that they were three kinds of hurried footprints, earlier footprints.
And the owners of these kinds of footprints have reached the point of handing over the blades.
"It's so entangled!"
Tang He didn't expect him to be exposed soon, it was better to say that the damned Immortal Moon Monarch betrayed him directly. There was no cover nearby, and stealth and tracking were what he was good at, and it wasn't difficult to walk around behind the miasma. Favoring his partner to cause trouble, he drew his horizontal knife directly from his side and almost threw it into the swamp. He reacted quickly, and it was not difficult to retrieve the knife, but it gave him reason to suspect that the Immortal Moon Lord was using him as bait. Now this guy is gone, without a trace, as if he was alone in the first place.
Speaking of which, Immortal Moon Monarch's reaction after entering the Swamp of the Dead was a bit strange. It was a brief moment, but he caught it, and knew why—spiritual and demonic powers were no longer working within the barrier. It doesn't hurt for him, the impact on the Immortal Moon Monarch should be even greater. But his countenance was so meaningless, so calm, as if it were just a strand of hair pinched by the door frame.
There are no more corpse pursuers. In such treacherous conditions, the living fought each other. He couldn't deduce the intention of Immortal Moon Monarch, but he knew that when Shanhai and the others turned around, they saw the knife in his hand and knew that he was definitely not here to chat. Mu Wan's umbrella slashed straight at it, and the blade blocked it, making a crease. Mu Wan suddenly came back to his senses and realized that the charm inside the umbrella that could protect it no longer existed.
"It's too slow!"
Before Mu Wan could react, another sword attacked. She ducked sideways, trying not to do anything hard. Tang He was right, all his decisions were so slow compared to him. She was unhappy, but reason told her that impulse would not solve the problem. In this difficult terrain, it is difficult for Shanhai and Dailuan to interfere.
"We left the last house." He said to his apprentice, "Now it's either in the Zhen Palace or in the Kan Palace." ”
"I want to think about it......" Dai Luan tried to recall what Shanhai had taught her, "The wounded door belongs to the wood, and the closed door belongs to the water......"
Jimen has great benefits in life, and evil men have to avoid disasters.
Hurt the door, Humenji. Either defeat the evil door and attack the wood with gold; And Jin Shengshui, even if they are actually in the door, it will not be a big problem. But now they need to face such an enemy not only to disadvantage, but also to seek advantage. That should give birth to Jimon. Aquatic wood, even if they are in a wounded door, it doesn't matter.
"Gold, or wood. Wood is the best. But ...... "Dai Luan is in trouble," we don't have a peachwood sword anymore. What to do? ”
She glanced at the battle situation of Mu Wan, who had to retreat and dodge, and looked back at the mountains and seas anxiously, and suddenly found that he had taken out a string of wooden beads. That was the fake Bodhi he bought casually in Tanghuan County at that time.
"I didn't expect to use it here."
