"Huh? What are you talking about? The little fox looked at me curiously.

"It's okay......"

I walked out of the cave.

"Hey, wait for me!" She kept following.

As we walked down the mountain, I waited for something to happen, a test of life and death, but the image in front of me was so real that I kept doubting my memory.

Until her appearance.

It was halfway up the mountain, and there was a sound of footsteps in the woods, sounding very tired. We found each other at the same time, and that face seemed to be the only straw in front of me in this terrifying world that I couldn't be sure of whether it was true or not.

"Du Youlan? It's good that you're still ......."

However, I soon discovered the anomaly.

It was her dress, although she was covered in dust and very embarrassed, but it was clear that it was not a modern outfit.

"Wei Heng!" Then she called out a name.

And these two words made me completely understand my current situation. If I'm not mistaken, this time, I went back to the same story that Du Youlan and Mina both told me.

Is it the power of the Secret Realm?

But what does this story have to do with life and death?

Du Youlan looked very excited, she repeatedly didn't expect to see me again, she hugged me directly, I was a little caught off guard, and instinctively pushed her away.

She was stunned for a moment, "Wei Heng, you ......"

"Huh? Your name is Wei Heng? Who is she, your friend? Now, two Taoist priests, I will definitely be able to go down the mountain! "The little fox is very happy, happy and a little silly.

I didn't pay attention to what she said, but I also understood that if this was a test given to me by the secret realm, then it was pointless to say more now. can only follow the identity at this moment and continue the plot.

"It's okay, I'm just ...... I woke up from that cave, and then, my brain hurt a little, and I couldn't remember some things clearly. "I rubbed my head and pretended to have amnesia.

It doesn't seem to be pretending either.

"Is that so? It's fine, as long as it's alive...... She was? Only then did Du Youlan turn her attention to the little fox.

"The one who saved me."

"She's not human." In terms of insight, Du Youlan is still the same as I remember.

But maybe it was the coldness of his tone that made the little fox a little nervous, and subconsciously hid behind me, "Oops, terrible...... The Taoist priest's words are to get rid of me, right? ”

"Heh......" Du Youlan smiled, and smiled very gently, I seem to have only seen this kind of smile once. She walked around behind me and gently stroked the little fox's head, "Don't be afraid, I believe in religion and classlessness, and I will never kill indiscriminately." It was you who saved him, thank you. ”

But it can be seen that the fox is still very afraid of Du Youlan.

It was a fear from the bones, or rather, a predestined fear.

As we descended the mountain, Du Youlan told me, an "amnesiac", why I was in a coma here, and what was the purpose of our visit. She said that there was a burial palace in this mountain, and it was from the mouth of the Mi family that she learned about the immortal head. Before entering the secret room where the immortal head was hidden, Du Youlan was almost unconscious due to the middle mechanism, and before she completely lost consciousness, I hid her in a safe place and went alone to deal with the immortal head.

After that, the dungeon collapsed, and Du Youlan could not enter the secret room, so she could only escape. She searched in the mountains and forests for three days, but never found another entrance to the dungeon. I thought I was going to die, but I didn't expect that I would appear in front of her eyes again.

"Did you see the head?" She asked me.

"Huh? Well...... Should have seen it. I responded.

But I was absent-minded, and I never understood why the secret realm would create this illusory world for me. But according to what Du Youlan said before, the answer Wei Heng gave him was to see it. Of course, at that time, I always thought that maybe there was something hidden in this answer.

"It seems that you can't remember the details very well. Forget it, in short, the dungeon has completely collapsed, at least for a few hundred years, there should be no possibility of that thing breaking the ground and being reborn. ”

"I ...... It should have been sealed, so you don't have to worry too much. ”

"I believe in you."

"So where are we going next?"

"Ask me? Have you forgotten all this? You didn't mean to, did you? ”

"Forgot something?" I'm a little confused.

In fact, I was just looking forward to getting into the subject of life and death as soon as possible, and subconsciously asked Du Youlan what would happen next. But calm down and think about it carefully, in the story that Du Youlan told me, the next thing seems to be that they returned to Wei County to prepare for marriage.

Marriage......

Then I could understand why she suddenly looked so upset.

"Ah, remember. I'm just, I just can't remember where Wei County is. ”

……

Next, we descended the mountain.

The little fox can't go down the mountain because there are prohibitions in the mountain, similar to seals, curses and the like, I don't understand, but Du Youlan broke it, which can be regarded as repaying the fox for saving me.

It's just that the fox is homeless, so he follows us in the following days.

Yes, the next few days.

The illusion that I thought would end soon lasted for half a year.

We left the mountains and forests and came to the world, the world of six or seven hundred years ago. All of them look stupid and stupid, but they are so real, they are alive, flesh and blood. And the real is not only people, but also the temperature of the sun, the freshness of the air, and the gentle smile that she often hangs on Du Youlan's face.

I love this feeling inexplicably.

It seems that this is the real thing, and it's not bad.

But falsehood is falsehood, and what should come will always come. Originally, we had not yet arrived in Wei County, and according to the plan we had made before, we would have to travel for at least two months. But when I woke up that day, I found myself at home in Wei County. Parents, brothers, and family members I've never met...... One by one, they appeared before my eyes and broke into my illusory world.

Just like when I first woke up, at this moment, I have a fault line of memory.

But fortunately, the Wei Mansion was very lively that day, in order to celebrate Du Youlan's birthday. She didn't know her birthday, so it was actually the day we met. We are about to get married, and my parents in Wei County are very fond of her. That night, we were admiring the stars and moon in the courtyard, and as soon as my mother left, the white fox in Du Youlan's arms emitted a strong "poison" into the air, and the "poison" formed the body and turned into a human form in my eyes.

It's the little fox, the one who saved me a few months ago.

They seem to get along well.

It's just that after Du Youlan left, the fox didn't leave.

She followed me to my room, talked to me ambiguously, and mentioned something called Ghost Head Coral, saying that it was a gift to Du Youlan. But the implication in the words was that I arranged for her to give it to Du Youlan.

"Brother Wei Heng, I don't want to go back to the mountain today, there is a black cat on the mountain, I'm a little afraid of it...... Why don't I stay here? ”

The fox asked me this before leaving.

I stared at her for a long time, and in her eyes, I was sure of one thing, this guy liked me.

I suddenly remembered that Du Youlan had said that Wei Heng had betrayed him for the sake of a fox.

"It turns out that the play has jumped here again, I'm a scumbag. No, I'm glad I'm not him. ”

"Brother Wei Heng, what are you talking about?"

I don't care about that, I think of the Devil's Head Coral she just mentioned. It is said that it is for Du Youlan to practice certain spells, but there will be some side effects when using it. My gut tells me that this doesn't seem like a simple thing to do.

"You mean, Wei Heng, that is, me, deliberately arranged for you to find the ghost head coral and give it to Du Youlan. And then, in fact, you're interested in me, and it's also the result of my subtle hookup, right? Actually, I'm an out-and-out traitor, a bastard, right? I asked bluntly.

It's a bit silly to ask the little fox.

"Brother Wei Heng, you, you ......"

"I'll just ask you, isn't it?"

"Huh? What are you talking about? She didn't seem to know how to respond to my question.

I pinched the little fox's chin, stared into her eyes, and asked, "What the hell does Devil's Head Coral do?" Wei Heng and you are deliberately trying to harm Du Youlan, right? But why did he want to harm Du Youlan? ”

"I, I don't know, I didn't think about harming Sister Lan, I ......"

"Although you are hallucinating, I don't know if it is useful to ask." I opened my mouth, my tongue splitting in my mouth, and a tentacle suddenly shot out and wrapped around the little fox's neck. She was terrified, but when I tightened my strength, everything in front of me suddenly fell into darkness!

When I opened my eyes again, it was in the mountains, in the caves, and in the little fox.

Only this time, she was bloody and skinned! She jerked out of the cave and screamed for me to get out of here, not to look at her......

And I, I can't respond.

This time, I was from God's perspective. I can only watch things unfold, but I can't really remnant them, and my memory is confused. Then Du Youlan appeared, but at this moment, she was already a different picture, she used the skin of a fox, and she used the appearance of a fox humanoid.

She cursed me as a traitor, she hated me, she was mad to the point of demons.

That's not her, she should really hate me, hate Wei Heng's betrayal, but she shouldn't be so crazy. The memory in my mind flashed back to the ghost head coral, everything was because of that thing, and its side effect was to give birth to hatred, amplify the darkness, Du Youlan was emotionally unstable, and she had been tricked. And that thing was Wei Heng who deliberately arranged for Du Youlan to come into contact. But facing Du Youlan at this moment, Wei Heng seemed to be an innocent person, he asked Du Youlan why she became like this, and asked herself, should you not give that coral to Du Youlan, should you have destroyed those evil arts a long time ago?

I watched the hypocrite's performance.

Then, Du Youlan began to kill.

Under the mountain, Wei County, with a wave of her hand, she spread the Gu poison in her body, and in an instant, Wei County became a purgatory on earth.

At that moment, I suddenly saw the real pain in the eyes of that hypocrite, as if everything had far exceeded his expectations. He tried to stop it, but it was too late.

The next moment, the world suddenly came to a standstill.

Immediately returned to nothingness, in front of my eyes was Wei Heng, but it seemed to be a mirror.

I want to open my mouth and ask him what it is?

But he couldn't open his mouth.

But Wei Heng slowly opened his mouth and said intermittently: "I want to live, but because of my life, countless people will lose themselves, and life is better than death." Then I'm going to die, in short, damn it. But my death, too, was messed up and became the beginning of iniquity. Why is this happening? ”

"Should I live or die, live or die, live or die!!"

Airplanes!!

The loud noise in my ears made me lose my hearing for a short time.

Wei Heng in front of me suddenly grabbed my neck, and I felt as if there was a countdown in my heart, before the end of that time, say the answer, otherwise, it will be me who fails.

"It's not life and death, it's ...... It shouldn't have been there in the first place. ”
