Chapter 20: Journey to the West 20
"It's just that I can't see it......" Tang Sanqing said flatly, groping his way to the door, staggering like a child learning to walk.
The head of the regiment hurriedly came over to help him, but Tang Sanqing waved his hand and insisted on groping slowly alone.
Blindness also has benefits, you can't see what you don't want to see, and you can see it with your natural heart if you want to see it.
Although her eyes were out of sight, the direction in her heart was firmer than ever.
She has been raised in Qionglou Yuyu since she was a child, she eats Ganoderma lucidum fairy grass and drinks Qiong Jelly and Jade Dew, her hands can't hold spears and spears, and her feet can't walk on rugged mountain roads......
How could she subdue those demons and monsters on her own? She would have cut herself even with a weapon in her hand, but she kept going.
Tang Sanqing walked forward step by step, and in the darkness, her ears rang with her father's words when she left, and it was the first time she had seen her father show such a complicated and uneasy look.
["If it really comes to the last resort, you can't let your body be plundered by demons no matter what. You have to remember that you don't belong to yourself, including your body, so ...... There is no other way but to choose to die together. ”】
The father who said such things was the first time she had discovered that he would show a look other than respect and humility in front of her, which made Tang Sanqing's mood extremely complicated.
["Over the years, I have fulfilled the duty of a lord, and I am worthy of any of my people, but only to you. Although you are my daughter, but in addition, you are the prince of our country, and the son of hope of the people of the world before yesterday. Between you and the world, I chose the world, which is the only thing I feel guilty about in my life but can't regret......]
It was close to the end, and although she couldn't see it, she could feel the changes in her surroundings.
The loss of her eyesight brought about the sensitivity of other senses, and she could hear the obviously lightened footsteps of the head of the regiment behind her, and even her breathing was deliberately suppressed.
["From the moment you step out of the city gate, you are no longer you, but Tang Sanqing, the chosen son, please be sure to ask for the true way to save all sentient beings. If...... You can't come back here, you have to end your life properly, and you can't plant a new curse in the world. ”】
The head of the regiment stopped, Tang Sanqing's footsteps paused, and then walked forward, heading in a direction darker than darkness.
"Tang Qing, it's too bad! Where's your little monkey? The head of the troupe was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and he forgot to remind an entertainer who trained monkeys to remember to bring monkeys with him when performing.
"I let it go, if you see that it is still in the palace and can't escape, help me take it out and release it, please......" Tang Qing's words reached his ears along the wind, and in the next second, a strong wind closed the heavy door.
On the contrary, he became even more worried, and just wanted to step forward to call Tang Qing back, but the long swords of the guards on both sides were drawn, and the sharp blades almost cut through his clothes.
Looking at the closed Nanmu long door, which is painted with runes of dragons and tigers, it is lifelike, as if it is about to jump out and turn over the clouds and rain. The uneasiness in his heart gradually expanded, and he recited a few words of Nam Mu Amitabha Buddha before he came to his senses.
"Tang Qing, you must not have anything to do, it is your luck that Lord Sha Zhan specifically named you to perform alone, and if you perform well, you will soar. If you do, if you mess up, don't bother us......"
The more I think about it, the more it is not simple, after being a circus director for so many years and performing so many performances, it is not for nothing.
Maybe there will be a bloody storm here soon, his instincts have always been accurate, so he immediately decided to go back and clean up, and when he found an opportunity, he fled......
The moment Tang Sanqing stepped into the hall, the door behind him made a heavy sound, and there was no one else here except her breathing.
However, there was a cold gaze not far away that was always focused on her, and she could only walk in that direction, he did not speak, and she was silent.
The surroundings were so quiet that there was a roaring hallucination in her ears, and she fell, got up, fell again, and got up again...... The cycle repeated, and she moved forward little by little like a faltering old man.
In the case of being invisible, the palace seemed to be like a boundless sea, and Tang Sanqing was a small sailboat drifting in the sea, and a small wave at random would drown her.
The gaze followed her, neither fast nor slow, not impatient, not helpful, like looking at a puddle of dead things.
Again, she fell, hurting her limbs to varying degrees, but she touched a corner of her clothes. The fine fabric is extremely smooth and cool to the touch.
With difficulty, she stretched out her hand, grabbed his trouser legs, knelt down in front of him a little, and looked up at him, revealing her fragile and slender neck, as if a slight fold would instantly disappear like a flower.
Tang Sanqing's heart was calm, even if there was an icy coldness coming from the person in front of her, she was not afraid.
Suddenly, Sun Shengyin appeared in front of him, he walked in front of him with a golden hoop stick in a chic and wanton manner, and while walking backwards, he pouted and said: "You are still so sick on a horse, how can you hurry up......
She stretched out her hand and tried to grab Sun Shengyin's figure, I'm sorry, she always drags her feet, always so useless.
Sun Shengyin turned around, and with a wave of his hand, the clouds in the sky reached his feet, and he said, "If it's so slow, I won't wait for you......"
Don't, don't go, wait for her, she'll be here soon......
When Tang Sanqing's hand grabbed the hand like an ice cube, Sun Shengyin disappeared, with endless sadness in her heart, but she evoked the most beautiful smile.
Her hand led the hand to the back of her head, and the knot of red silk loosened and slowly fell to her feet.
Tang Sanqing slowly opened his eyes, it was dark, the person in front of him did not react, he was still sitting stiff, and the hand that was touched by her was stiff.
He didn't take the initiative to touch her, but he didn't pull away either.
Tang Sanqing knew that he had succeeded......
Because in this palace where there were only the two of them, she heard the heartbeat of a person other than herself. Eyes can lie, words can deceive, and even if the mask fits like breath, the heart is the most real.
"Sha Zhan......" her voice was seductive, straightening up and approaching his chest little by little, "Do you believe in cause and effect?" ”
His body was like an ice cube, stiff and cold, and on his body, Tang Sanqing couldn't feel the slightest breath of his life, except for the beating heart.
A shadow suddenly appeared in her mind, flashing and unable to grasp, as if she had once come into contact with someone, as cold as his.
But Tang Sanqing, who was highly mentally concentrated, had no time to care about other irrelevant things, her attention was all on the man in front of her.
"I believe in cause and effect, so let me end the evil you have done......"
As she spoke, she stretched out her arms and hugged his body tightly with the last of her strength, and the two became one and inseparable.
Even so, he didn't react and let himself do anything to him.
There is a vague feeling that everything is under the control of the man in front of him, and it is he who guides everything. This feeling was too ridiculous, this thought made Tang Sanqing panic, she had finally made up her mind, no matter what happened, she couldn't easily shake it.
The weak arm wrapped around his back, and Tang Sanqing suddenly found that Sha Zhan's body was even weaker than she imagined, and this kind of body was just the body of a weak young man.
Could such a person really be the black hand who controls everything, the accomplice of the blood corpse and the vine tree demon?
Unfortunately, it was too late.
She didn't have time to scrutinize the details of everything.
In the next second, she bit her tongue, and bright red blood overflowed from the corners of her mouth. A transparent ice edge instantly grew from her heart, penetrating her heart, flesh and bones, and clothing...... Straight into the heart of the other side.
Blood spurted from both of them at once, and in an instant she felt a warm, sticky liquid in her chest, and the pain became secondary.
It was from the time she was born, her father invited the national teacher and set a blood curse in her heart, which was a ban on ending up with the other party at the cost of her own life.
It was also her father's last entrustment to her before she left, if she couldn't come back, she must not let her body be left out and possessed by demons.
The moment the ice edge was inserted, the two hearts were disintegrated at the same time, and then her body would be frozen into ice cubes, shattered into countless fine ice dust, scattered on the earth, guarding the world, this was her last and only choice.
The blood curse had already exerted its force, and the temperature in her body was rapidly decreasing, as if it was like Sha Zhan.
Her body was powerless, and she could only lie on top of him weakly, using up her energy just to stay awake.
The funny thing is that Sha Zhan actually followed her slowly sliding body, avoiding the hole in her heart, and moved cautiously.
They were like two hedgehogs with spikes on their feet, hugging each other tightly, comparing who would hurt more than whom. When the thorn passes through the flesh and through the heart, it is softer than anything.
The blood of the two fused together, and the blood splashed on her face was warm, Tang Sanqing thought that even the blood would be cold for a person as cold and ruthless as him.
Sha Zhan's blood ran down her hair, her forehead, and her eyebrows...... It slowly dripped into Tang San's eyes that were as dark as night.
Light and human figures slowly appeared in front of her eyes, like a dream, but not a dream.
The dilapidated mountain village is full of dead trees and grass roots, and the trees are bare, and the bark has been stripped clean.
A group of well-dressed and well-behaved people stood out in the middle of it, and they gathered around and discussed something fiercely.
"Is this child really the fairy fetus that Fuji Kunshi said?"
"It should be about the same, the people in the surrounding villages say that when he was born, auspicious clouds fell from the sky, and there was nectar in a long drought, iron trees bloomed, fish jumped over the dragon gate, and phoenixes danced in the sky...... Born with immortals, he is destined to cultivate immortals and ascend to become gods. ”
"Then let's take him away!"
"The national teacher said, you must be careful, don't look at him small, his ability is great!"
……
And the center of their discussion seems to revolve around a child not far away.
A heavy chain was tied around his neck, and his face was thin and thin, with a gray face, and a pair of clear and transparent eyes on his almost thin face.
As soon as he moved slightly, the chains immediately made a heavy and piercing sound, and it was obvious that he was frightened, but as if he was afraid of alarming anyone, he shrunk into a ball tightly, and did not dare to make any more sound.
After a long time, the group finally finished their discussion, and took the other end of the chain like an animal, covered their mouths and noses, and looked at the child with disgust.
Among them, one of them threw out a small money bag, and immediately made a coin crash sound when it fell to the ground, and the next second, an unkempt woman ran out of the crumbling grass house, picked up the money bag, and left without turning her head.
Except for Tang Sanqing, no one noticed that the child looked back for a long time, and the light in his eyes was withdrawn slightly, until it was dim and gray.
