Chapter 48: Returning to the Sect
We crossed the long black covered bridge, and I saw several palaces scattered among them, close together, like a man's dwelling. She led me out of the covered bridge, and I saw a black river as far as the eye could see.
Under the daylight, the black river, the shallow clear water is reflected into the Milky Way on the river, the silt is spread smoothly under the clear and shallow water, and the thin white leafless flowers bloom on the water, the flowers are crowded into the field, slowly swaying forward, and the flowers gradually fall away, leaving only the Milky Way like the water flowing on the black river..... The water flows endlessly.
I stepped on the white flowers under my feet, and the flowers were so clean that they were trampled and oozed blood......
Many strange people flew overhead, and they had strangely shaped wings, or like butterflies, or like eagles, or like phoenixes, and the wing feathers were made of black black iron, and they had eyes-like patterns. Their wingbones were wrapped in silver-gray chain mail, their wrists and ankles were still wrapped in heavy chain mail, and they had a silver mask hanging from their faces, as if they had grown out of flesh......
"Lord Guizong is right ahead!" The little doll was running excitedly in front, and I looked at a hundred paces away, there was a man in black sitting among the white flowers, and there was a man in red sitting opposite him, the man in red was very close to him, and he seemed to be painting a thrush for him...... The man in red seems to be spring and autumn...... I ran quickly to the man in red, when I stopped panting, the man in black had no time to put down the pen in his hand, he turned his head to look at me, I was amazed, my heart seemed to be hit, and after being suppressed for a while, it jumped faster and faster, how is this man in black so similar to Spring and Autumn, this arrogant temperament is the first time I have seen it, but I have known each other for a long time, he smiled faintly at me, put down the pen, and slowly stood up.
The pen sank in the shallow clear water under the white flowers, and the crushed white petals floated on the clear water into red mud, I looked down at the man in red, he sat stiffly on the ground, his eyes were slightly drooping, and the red mark on his eyebrows was only half drawn, I was sure that this was Spring and Autumn, why did he not move......
"What's wrong with Spring and Autumn?" I asked him.
He didn't say anything, grabbed my hand and grabbed me in his arms, my back against his chest, his heart beating steady and powerful......
He held my hand and picked up the pen in the water, gently dipped it in the red mud on the water, the tip of the pen was blood-red, he held my hand tightly, and the blood red on his eyebrows was the spring and autumn point......
"Chunqiu, what's wrong with him?" I asked him again.
He still didn't say anything.
He let go of my hand, the pen fell into the water, he got up, and Chunqiu followed him, and they disappeared into a black palace in the distance......
Leave me in place and don't know what to do......
The little doll ran over and pushed my head: "Hurry up and keep up with Lord Guizong!" ”
"He's a convert...... Why is he exactly the same as Chunqiuchang......"
"You'll know if you follow him!" The little doll is pretty, with a wicked smile at the corners of her eyes and eyebrows......
I got up and straightened my damp clothes, and ran after the little doll towards the black palace.
The black magnificent palace is like an ink world, under the heavy black eaves of the palace, there is a big black plaque, the plaque is painted with cold iron, Yedu Mansion, these three words are crazy and powerful, under these three words is an elegant and simple black wooden door, the wooden door is a little old, the corners are peeled off black, revealing a light gray.
In the wide room, there is a thin big stone as a screen, the stone is ten zhang high, thirteen zhang wide, five feet thick, the top is uneven, irregular distribution of strange holes, in the hollow hanging down thin white jade vines, this jade vine is like a thing in the hundred ghost station......
I peeked through the hole of the stone screen, behind the screen, there was a circular doorway, the roof beam hung down the black light gauze just blocked the doorway, the wind quietly blew in, the black yarn was lifted intentionally or unintentionally, I saw a person, his white hair drooped to the ground, like water like a waterfall, dressed in a black robe, the black robe was faintly buried with silver silk threads, the waist was wrapped in silver and black intertwined dragon skin waist seal, the coat was draped in a long black yarn, the hand wore black leather gloves sitting at the tea table by the window, holding a thing like a head in one hand, and holding a pen in the other hand to depict in detail, Opposite that person, there was a red figure, he was covered by the door hole for most of his body, his red clothes hung on the ground, and his silver hair would break into my sight from time to time with the wind......
I made a fool of myself to move my steps, bypassing the stone screen, stepping over the round doorway, and walking in front of the two of them......
White light flowed in through the big wooden window, and outside the window there was an endless black river, and in the distance there was a large blood-red hole, like a bloody hole dug out of the chest, and the large mound outside the hole was entangled in red fire, and the fire was like a red petal that had been torn apart. One of them looked out at the scenery, and the other looked down at a lifelike head and seriously painted a face......
I froze in place for a moment, and that face looked like me.....
The little doll suddenly ran over and hugged the leg of the man in black, and she said milkily: "Lord Guizong, the person in your bed, wake up!" Haven't you waited a long time! Don't draw a puppet today! ”
Puppet...... My gaze panicked on the face that Guizong had depicted...... Why did he draw a puppet like me.....
Guizong smiled faintly and carefully placed the head on the table, before the pen in his hand could be put down, he whispered to himself: "It's worth it to exchange a puppet for a soul." ”
I approached Chunqiu and gently probed his snort, but he was not breathing...... I nervously asked Guizong: "What's wrong with Chunqiu, he's dead, or ......" I stared at the puppet head in his hand, the word puppet was hidden between his teeth, and he didn't dare to say it.
He smiled faintly and looked up at me, his fingers loosened, the pen rolled off the table, and then his fingers tightened hard, and Chunqiu, who was sitting opposite him, suddenly stood up and looked at me with his head slightly down......
He got up, walked slowly behind me and said, "Do you prefer to communicate with this body?" ”
I looked at Chunqiu's expressionless and lifeless appearance, my heart was extremely heavy, and I stretched out my hand to his chest, dead and cold......
Guizong was close to me, his white hair fell on my shoulders, and he sat back at the tea table in an instant, and the breath of Guizong brushed my ears, and I noticed it clearly, and he whispered to me: "You, in love with my puppet?" He smiled slightly mockingly.
I turned to look up at him and asked incredulously, "Puppet?" He obviously has a heart! ”
"That heart was given by me, just a random heart. Later, wasn't it crushed by you......"
His eyes were deep, like night, forever, everywhere, silently seeing everything......
"Who are you......" I couldn't control the trembling in my tone, and my steps had already quietly retreated.
