Chapter 14: Entering the Twenty-Third Floor (2)
With a moment of dizziness, the crossbow man woke up, he found himself lying on a section of the branch, he looked up and looked around, trying to find the figure of his senior sister, but the place was empty but him. Thinking of the three lives and three lives he had just experienced, the pain of the death of his parents, the desolation of the betrayal of his beloved, and the sadness of his brother's rebellion, he was physically and mentally exhausted, and a sense of loneliness still arose.
He was about to follow the path to the depths of the clouds to find his senior sister's figure, but he came out, but he was the only one who couldn't see his senior sister, and he was very worried. Ignoring the heaviness on his body, he walked towards the clouds step by step.

Somewhere in the dark space, a woman in a white robe was walking aimlessly, she didn't understand why she hadn't encountered any danger, and she hadn't experienced the pain of reincarnation, but she couldn't get out of this darkness.
Suddenly, a thin shadow of the old Tao appeared in front of her, the outline of the old Tao was very blurred, he looked at the woman in front of him, a pair of hollow eyes shot out of the essence, and his mouth muttered, "I don't know the past life, I don't see the afterlife, the pearl left behind in the sky, the heart of the oak tree in the sky." ”
She didn't understand what the words in Lao Dao's mouth meant, what was in the past and afterlife, full of nonsense, it was just the same as the weird master's usual life.
Immediately, she shouted dissatisfiedly to the old man, "Stinky old man, my aunt and grandmother are trapped here, are you doing a ghost, hurry up and let my aunt and grandmother out, otherwise you will look good." Lao Dao was not angry, so he stared at her and said, "Little girl, it turns out that you don't know anything, no wonder, no wonder." ”
Lao Dao sighed a few times, thinking of the kid just now, thinking that he had seen something, and the whole old face was extremely strange. Ignoring the little girl's scolding, she muttered again, "Woe and blessing are relied on, blessing and misfortune are lurking, little girl, the old way advises you not to continue, that kid is destined to be lonely all his life, don't delay his future, don't burden others." ”
After Lao Dao finished speaking, the figure dissipated into the darkness piece by piece, and she appeared on a branch path at the moment when Lao Dao dispersed.
————
The crossbowman was looking around on the path, and the figure of the senior sister suddenly appeared in front of him, he was very surprised, and hurriedly shouted, "Senior sister, I am here, senior sister, I am here" shouted several times, the senior sister in front looked back, but as if she didn't hear it, she turned around and slowly walked towards the depths of the clouds.
He didn't think about it and chased after him, but the closer he got closer, the younger his sister seemed to be farther away from him.
Ju Mengmeng appeared on the branches, and she didn't stop for long, she thought that her little junior brother still didn't know where he was, and she couldn't help but worry in her heart. Just as she was about to walk forward, he seemed to hear the shouts of the little junior brother in his mind, but she looked back, but she didn't find any figure, so she had to continue to walk forward, she had a strange feeling, she always felt that the little junior brother was behind her, but whenever she looked back, there was still no trace behind her.
The crossbow man followed the senior sister in front of her like this, and whenever she turned around, she would shout a few words, but the senior sister just couldn't see him. This made him a little anxious, but there was no way at all, so he had to follow silently, keeping a certain distance in the middle.
After a long time, the senior sister in front finally stopped, and he also stopped. I saw a thin old man figure appear on the path in front of the two, he stood in the middle of the path without moving, seeing the arrival of the two, the old road's eyelids suddenly trembled a few times, and a muddy old voice sounded, "Little girl, we meet again, since you choose to continue, the old road doesn't say much, here is called the Yin and Yang two poles, one is yin, one is yang, Yin and Yang are separated, Yang can see Yin, Yin can not see Yang, pre-pass this pass, there will be a person who dies, and the front is the intersection of Yin and Yang, There is no great danger, how to choose, you will consider it, and the old saying is all here. After saying that, the figure of the old man dissipated in place again.
Lao Dao's words deeply touched the crossbowman, he didn't want the senior sister to continue, but how he screamed behind him, the senior sister walked forward firmly, he didn't have time to wipe away the tears oozing from the corners of his eyes, and staggered to follow.
Stepping into the place where yin and yang meet, although it is unusually calm, it makes people feel chilling. Suddenly, two air currents gushed out, constantly circling in the air, the surrounding clouds and mist were swept over, and the space was slowly squeezed, forming two spatial vortices, one black and one white.
Ju Mengmeng's eyes stared at the depths of the two whirlpools, she knew in her heart that no matter which whirlpool she walked into, it would be a life of death, but she didn't want to retreat, she didn't want to disappoint her little junior brother, she was afraid that he would be disappointed, and she was even more afraid that she would be desperate. She made her choice, her choice was to go into the depths of the whirlpool, she looked back behind her before entering the whirlpool, she smiled happily, smiled so beautifully, so beautiful that she felt that she was all beautiful.
The crossbow man looked at the senior sister who was about to step into the vortex and turned around and smiled at him, no matter how he screamed, shouted until he vomited blood, the senior sister just smiled at him, he wanted to touch the figure of the senior sister, but when he ran over, the vortex was farther away from him, until it completely disappeared. He pounded his fist on his chest as hard as he had ever felt before, and he became depressed, as if he was about to lose something important, and there was nothing he could do but watch.
Another vortex was spreading, and the clouds and mist around him were constantly swallowed in, and he fell to his knees without the slightest awareness, only endless sadness in his heart, only that figure, only that smile.
But the vortex is ruthless, it swallows everything around it little by little, and he is not immune, who will take care of his inner feelings at the moment.
The crossbowman woke up in a delicate room, with a few traces of fishy sweetness still in his throat, and he looked at this familiar room, a little trance. The door of the room was suddenly opened, and a figure walked in, looking at the familiar white robe, he thought he was dreaming, thinking that the senior sister had already stepped into that whirlpool, how could she appear here, he hesitated a little, and the figure was a little unaware of what his little junior brother was obsessed with, staring at himself in disbelief, she was not angry, and said gently, "Little junior brother, you woke up, but I am in a hurry." ”
The words fell into the ears of the crossbowman, he couldn't hold it anymore, a certain emotion completely exploded at this moment, he ran to the figure like crazy, hugged her tightly, he was afraid that if he hugged him lightly, the senior sister would leave him again. The senior sister who was hugged tightly seemed a little expected, and she didn't resist, letting his tears wet her clothes.
Immersed in the joy of reunion, a sense of crisis suddenly surged out of the crossbowman's heart, he remembered something, and pushed the senior sister in his arms away, only to see that the senior sister was holding a bright cyan dagger in her hand, the dagger was full of cold light, and it was so dazzling in his eyes.
The atmosphere was suddenly extremely quiet, and he stared at the familiar but unfamiliar figure and said in a deep voice, "You are not my senior sister, who are you." ”
The questioned senior sister was a little surprised, she didn't understand how she was seen through, and asked, "How do you know that I am not your senior sister?" ”
The crossbowman sneered and replied, "How could my senior sister call herself me on that occasion, she has always called herself aunt and grandmother, this is your biggest flaw." ”
The figure of the senior sister seemed to understand something, and then she didn't say anything more, and rushed towards him with a dagger.
Seeing that the cold light was about to pierce his face, the crossbowman was too busy to wipe the blood that coughed out, and quickly retreated, behind him was the small wooden bed carved with insects, birds, flowers and plants, he had been jumping up at the head of the bed with his feet, dodging the first attack, but before he could come to his senses, the second cold light followed, at the moment of life and death, he used all his strength to prepare for the final resistance, but he was helplessly pierced through the shoulder by the dagger, and streams of blood flowed all over his body from his wounds, and his whole body was instantly dyed red, Fall to one knee on one foot, one hand propped up to keep yourself from looking even more embarrassed.
He didn't ask any more questions, closed his eyes, and had already given up resistance, but after waiting for some time, the cold light only slipped over his cheek and did not pierce his skull.
A slight muffled snort sounded in his ears, he opened his eyes, only to see that the dagger was actually inserted into the chest of the figure, a blood flower bloomed strangely in front of his eyes, he had a feeling of pain into the bone marrow, I don't understand why, obviously this person is fake, but at this moment, seeing her sudden injury, his heart will be so painful.
——
After Ju Mengmeng walked into the whirlpool, she walked for a long time in a dim space, before entering her secret realm from that space, she knew that this secret realm might be fake, but she didn't guess too much, she walked slowly towards her room along the familiar road, but the moment she opened the door, she saw the figure of the little junior brother, she didn't know if it was a dream, and when she was about to recognize the little junior brother, an old Taoist said in her mind, "Little girl, you can't let her know that you are the real senior sister, Otherwise, both will die. "The voice was cold and piercing, without any emotion.
So she began to pretend that she didn't use her customary name in the questioning of the little junior brother, but the little junior brother didn't seem to notice it, so she pulled out her beloved dagger, and when the little junior brother was holding her, she wanted to stab him, but she was discovered, and she achieved her goal. The little junior brother regarded her as a fake senior sister, she was very happy and a little disappointed, but since she made a choice, she did not hesitate, and continued to hold the dagger and stab at the little junior brother, at the moment when the little junior brother lost resistance, she knew that she should make a choice, so the dagger that she held tightly, without the slightest room in her chest, was her choice, even if the little junior brother did not know, she would still make a choice.
The crimson blood flower bloomed unscrupulously on the figure's chest, and there was a poignant smile on a miserable little white face. At this moment, in the eyes of the crossbowman, he felt that he was wrong, that person was his senior sister, the senior sister who had paid a lot for him. He couldn't collapse anymore, just kneeling like that, dragging his body covered in blood, crawling over bit by bit, when his hands touched the white robe that was stained with blood, he clearly felt that something was carved into his heart, and the senior sister was looking at him gently, a pair of clear eyes full of reluctant feelings.
The figure of the senior sister slowly fell into his arms, and he hugged the gradually cold body tightly again, silent. The two streams of blood began to merge, and the figure of the senior sister began to slowly dissipate...
