Volume 3 The Ruins of the Shadow Chapter 157 Chu Tinglan
"You...... Still woke you up......" The man scratched his head in embarrassment.
"Why haven't you left yet?" The girl frowned and said.
"I'll bring you wisteria flowers." The man wiped a handful of sweat from his forehead, even in the cold late night, the sweat still rolled down and wet his underwear, but the man looked careless, picked up a few small purple flowers on the stone table, held them up in front of the girl, and smirked: "I didn't care much about this thing before, I didn't expect it to be quite difficult to find." ”
The girl was silent for a moment, she didn't take the flower, turned back to the room, and slammed the door shut.
The man was left standing alone at the door, a little at a loss.
Lying on the bed in the room, the girl could not sleep for a long time.
Wisteria flowers are rare medicinal materials that grow on the edge of the cliff more than 30 miles away from here on the north wind plain. The purpose of asking the man to pick flowers was to let him retreat and leave while he was in trouble.
Who would have thought that he really picked wisteria flowers, and even sent them overnight.
The girl's pale red pupils flickered with a slightly complicated light.
Early the next morning.
When the girl opened the door again, she suddenly saw a figure falling, she hurriedly retreated two steps, the man knocked on the floor in a daze, and then came to his senses, looking at the girl with a somewhat dull expression.
"You ......," the girl gritted her teeth.
"Ah...... Ah sorry! Seeing that the girl was slightly angry, the man suddenly reacted, last night, because the girl did not take the wisteria flower, he did not understand what happened at all, and he was embarrassed to knock on the door to disturb the girl's rest, so he had to lean against the door to rest, and unconsciously, he fell asleep.
"I accidentally fell asleep." The man scratched his head and smiled awkwardly.
"Abei, give, the flowers you want." As he spoke, he handed over the flowers in his hand again, and the purple bouquet with a strange fragrance still looked delicate even after picking it overnight.
The girl took the wisteria flower and looked at the man, which faintly revealed a complicated look, but the man didn't notice it, just blindly smirked.
……
The wind, the hunting blows the broken flags on the cliffs, and the broken flags are swept up by the wind, with the dyed red, floating into the distance.
The girl hugged the empty golden armor in front of her, stood up silently, the black and red blood completely soaked the clothes on the girl's chest, she didn't react, just hugged the golden armor, slowly turned around step by step, and walked towards the way down the mountain.
On the mountain road, the sergeants who had fled in a hurry were integrated and held in formation, and they stared closely at the slender figure that was slowly walking, not daring to blink at all.
"Demon girl, where's the corpse of that traitor?!"
The leader of the general shouted with a cold look in his eyes.
The girl did not answer, her whole body seemed to have lost her soul, her reddish eyes were extremely empty, and she walked in a trance, holding the broken armor tightly in her hand.
Seeing this, the general's face sank, he suddenly raised his hand, and the sergeants in the formation behind him suddenly raised their bows and arrows, and the sharp arrows were aimed at the girl's figure.
"Since you don't want to say it, then it's okay, you can go down and accompany him!"
"Shoot the arrows!"
Countless arrows poured out in an instant, the girl did not dodge or dodge, she raised her head slightly, and in her reddish eyes, a white fire suddenly jumped.
"Why ......"
The girl muttered, her slender figure was instantly overwhelmed by the rain of arrows, but all the arrows that could touch her body disappeared at the moment they were about to touch, making the general's eyes widen when he thought it was over.
"Obviously he has done everything, he has pacified the world, he has become a hero of mankind."
"Why? He's going to be charged a traitor? ”
The girl's body suddenly burned with white flames, and in the firelight, her eyes flashed with an indescribable pain.
"Will ...... Checkmate! She's her, she's a monster too! The sergeants were in a panic, and the general was also worried, watching the girl approach step by step, subconsciously retreating, the scorching fire wave made the surrounding temperature rise rapidly, and the dry weeds on the side of the mountain road burned directly.
"Sure enough, the king's decision to execute the two of you is not wrong at all." The general gritted his teeth and cursed, he shouted: "Quickly retreat, go and invite the national teacher to suppress this demon girl!" ”
The sergeants immediately threw away their weapons and fled in a panic, the speed of the general was not slow at all, in the face of their escape, the girl did not chase, she just walked on her own, the flames on her body gradually extinguished, the breeze blew her black hair, stirred the corners of her clothes, as if someone was saying goodbye to her.
On the mountain road, the girl with a single shadow gradually walked away and never looked back.
……
Mu Bei looked at the man in front of him, the confusion and dazedness on his expression were obviously from the heart, and he completely forgot everything about himself.
She turned around slowly, didn't say anything more, and was about to turn around and leave, but was grabbed by the arm by the person behind her.
"Girl, why do you know my real name?!" Chu Tinglan asked suspiciously, he was slightly stunned, and suddenly said, "Are you also ......?"
"Are you from that world too?!" He asked in a very low voice.
"You've seen me!"
"But why don't I have any impression of you?" Chu Tinglan felt very confused, to be exact, the girl in front of him seemed to give him a very familiar feeling, but he couldn't think of anything, anything about this girl, as if he had never seen her.
"Your soul body...... Why red? Mu Bei asked softly.
"I have been like this since I came to this world, even if I absorb the power of the soul from the outside world, the soul body that appears is still like this, I don't know what is the difference between me and the other ghosts in this world......" Chu Tinglan said in a deep voice: "If you have to say different, then there is only ......"
"In my mind, I have memories from that world."
"Do you remember...... In that world, the last picture ...... What is it? There was a faint glimmer of light in Mu Bei's eyes.
Chu Tinglan's eyes showed a little thought, and said: "I am the general of the ancient Qin State, on the order of the king, I went out to fight against neighboring countries, and returned victoriously, as if I was on the way back, and then I don't know why, I appeared here." ”
In the pale red eyes, the bright light quietly passed, Mu Bei smiled lightly and said, "Yes." ”
"It's a shame, I may have recognized the wrong person."
Chu Tinglan was slightly stunned.
"You're right, I'm indeed from that world, and I also know someone named Chu Tinglan." A bitter smile appeared at the corner of Mu Bei's mouth, and he said softly: "He looks very similar to you, but unfortunately, he is not a general." ”
"He is an ordinary person in a village, because of a sentence, he has traveled thirty miles through mountains and rivers, and he is tired to the point of exhaustion, just to pick a few flowers on the cliffside."
It seemed that it was rare to meet someone from the same world, Chu Tinglan felt an indescribable sense of intimacy in his heart, and when he heard the girl's words, he responded with a slight smile: "Then he must be for his sweetheart." ”
"Yes......"
Mu Bei said softly, she pulled Chu Tinglan's hand, turned around and walked back to the side of the ferry and Ino.
"I said that as an extradited Red Devil, his memories will only remain a small part under the protection of Akatsuki's energy, even if he once knew you, the possibility of remembering you now is too small." The ferryman said lightly.
"That's fine." Mu Bei muttered in a low voice.
"It's good that it never happened."
"Sister Mubei......" Ino gently tugged Mubei's finger and looked at her with some concern. Mu Bei lowered his head slightly, looked at her, shook his head and said, "I'm fine, don't worry about me." ”
"I just need to throw things away again."
Chu Tinglan walked up to the three of them, looked at a few people with some confusion, and asked, "By the way, what are you doing here in Youhuang Settlement?" ”
"Looking for you." The ferryman said lightly.
"Me?" Chu Tinglan was stunned.
"You don't seem to know much about your soul body, I was trying to solve some problems, but now it seems that there is no need." The ferryman glanced at him and said, "Your soul is pure, there is no residue, and you will no longer worry about any changes." ”
"What do you mean? Mutation? Chu Tinglan frowned slightly.
"The reason why your soul body is different from other ghosts and appears to be a red soul body is because a part of your soul is impregnated with alien soul power." "But that energy, when it soaked your soul, a certain will that should have been born, didn't seem to appear, or it had already appeared without you noticing, but it was wiped out by you when you inadvertently competed with you for control of this body. ”
"So don't worry about any changes, you're safe."
"I don't really understand what you mean, but I don't think there's anything I mean at the moment." Chu Tinglan smiled slightly: "As long as there is nothing to do now, I don't have to worry too much about what happens in the future." ”
"What do you mean by that?" Mu Bei frowned.
Chu Tinglan looked at Ino and the ferryman and asked, "Are they also from that world?" ”
"Just say it." The ferryman said lightly.
"Okay, I'm going to a place called Guiru." Chu Tinglan said in a deep voice: "That place, located in the center of this Shadow Ruins, there are records in the Youyan Settlement, there are ghosts who have entered it, but they haven't even walked to that place, they have already dispersed. ”
"Between the ruins and the eastern region, there is a layer of shadow barriers, which are filled with all kinds of powerful shadow beasts, and their blocking alone is enough to discourage all the ghosts."
"You're going to return to the ruins?!" Mu Bei's eyes changed slightly.
"Oh, that's a coincidence." The ferryman smiled faintly and said, "I want to know what your purpose is for returning to the ruins?" ”
"Have you heard any rumors?"
"Yes, there have always been rumors of ferryers in the Ruins, and I have often heard of them in the Youyan Settlement." Chu Tinglan said softly: "It is said that the power of the ferryman far exceeds that of ordinary ghosts, and there is even some kind of connection with this world. ”
"And if you want to get the power of the ferryman, you can only go to the ruins."
Mu Bei just wanted to say something, but was stopped by the ferryman raising his hand, he looked at Chu Tinglan calmly, and said, "Can I know the reason why you want to become a ferryman?" ”
"I want to know the truth about this world, I want to know why I'm here, I want to know if I can still have a chance to go back to that world." Chu Tinglan muttered.
"If you want to know about it, I can tell you right now."
Looking at Chu Tinglan's suspicious eyes, the ferryman said lightly: "You don't have to doubt it. ”
"I am what you call the ferryman."
