Chapter 47: The Boundary Between Black and White
Mr. Li, dressed in a neat suit and waiting for shiny leather shoes, was ready to go to the underground garage to drive his newly purchased BMW out to the class reunion and show off. As soon as he got downstairs, he was stunned, and the BMW was parked in the open space downstairs.
"Huh? I remember I parked in the garage, huh? Mr. Li scratched his head, confused, but he couldn't care so much, and if he didn't leave, he would be late. Although the protagonist always wants to appear last, he may miss something if he goes late.
The BMW was completely oblivious to what was happening in the nearby underground garage.
Chang Sheng stepped on the boulders all over the ground, shook slightly, the smoke and dust dispersed, and the whole world became clear all of a sudden, but it hurt Zhang Yue and her aunt. The two of them had set up their poses to prepare for the battle, but they were choked with dust by the scattered smoke and dust.
The aunt wiped her face, the dust mixed with sweat was sticking to her face, and this wipe immediately wiped herself into a big flower face, "This Ma Wei gave me, I really don't have a temper at all!" It's hard to believe that I took a shower before going out. ”
Zhang Yue's right hand moved forward, and his finger moved forward slightly, and the yin and yang gossip under his feet rotated along his direction, and the symbols flashed with a faint light, and the mysterious power loomed.
"Just go back and wash it again." Zhang Yue's black and white pupils trembled slightly, and the invisible power quietly stretched out and landed on her aunt's body, like a hand opening an eye in her heart, an eye that could see everything.
Chang Sheng became a picture in her eyes, a huge and delicate energy circulation diagram, and the flow and operation of every demonic qi were clearly presented in front of her eyes, making her feel that the world was completely new.
In the field of vision, a cloud of demonic qi smashed down like a hammer, blue-black, gradually condensed from the gaseous state, and had condensed into a substantial lens in mid-air, flashing with light. As it continued down, the light dimmed and dimmed, and finally disappeared completely, leaving only the large ball of lens energy.
Jumping out of the field of vision of the aunt, it was just Chang Sheng's big claws that smashed down, cutting the air with sharp fingertips, and the thick palm pressed the air together, forming an invisible air bomb, before it landed, the ground had collapsed layer by layer, rolling up billowing smoke and dirt waves, and huge cracks spread wildly, trying to tear the ground to pieces.
"Shock!"
Zhang Yue pointed from afar, and the trembling hexagram shattered, flashing out fine thunder lights, which quickly wound towards Changsheng against the ground. The thunder light cracked, became more small, and burrowed into Changsheng's body, stimulating the originally tight muscles to become tighter and stiffer. But for a moment, Chang Sheng froze. In the next moment, the surging demonic power rolled in his body, driving his muscles to regain elasticity, and the thunder light shattered one after another, turning into silver points of light.
The paw smashed the light rain and continued to move forward, and the cold wind blew the skin of the person, as if it had been cut by a knife.
My aunt wanted to move, but she was surprised to find that the space around her seemed to be poured concrete, and she couldn't tear it open. Do you want to fight this big claw in front of you? She is not a meat shield like Lao Hei, and it is her true color to replace defense with offense.
The thought flashed for a moment, and the gossip diagram under her feet suddenly turned, and the Lizi hexagram came to her feet, and a red flame was igniting, enveloping her whole person. The blazing sensation burned the aunt's whole body, but it was surprisingly happy. With a wave of her hand, the space shattered, and she stepped into the crack with one foot, and her claws appeared.
The heart eye that was opened by Zhang Yue stared at this very thick pillar, no, it should be a turtle's foot. The dark red light stabbed out like a spear sharply and swiftly, sinking into the blue-black flesh. In the black and white eyes' field of vision, it was like a dark red needle piercing into the tendons of Changsheng, blocking the path of demonic power.
The demonic power collapsed, and the huge anti-shock force almost shattered Auntie's arm, if she hadn't run fast. One teleportation, the aunt grabbed Zhang Yue and Chang Xin, and another teleportation, the three of them had already appeared a hundred meters behind Chang Sheng.
The claws were still slapped, and the dispersing demonic power destroyed the entire underground garage, and the terrifying collapse was taking place under Changsheng's feet, and his entire huge body fell with the collapsed ground, and the limbs like Optimus Prime sank into the ground, buried by the rocks.
Chang Sheng roared angrily, his huge mouth opened, his barb-like fangs stood up, and his sharp tongue was like a small snake, stretched straight and trembling slightly. He twisted his bulky waist and tried to turn around, but the boulders were shattered by his steely muscles, and they couldn't stop his mountain-like body.
It was not easy for such a huge body to turn around, and after turning for a while, Changsheng's limbs were still stuck in the boulder. He roared and struggled, but his clumsy body became his greatest burden. If he could, he wouldn't hesitate to shake his body to wipe the red light off the tortoiseshell.
Auntie is like a flickering point of light, each flicker will crack a spatial crack, these cracks are densely covered above the tortoise shell like a scar, if the space is conscious, it must be painful now. The light flickered faster and faster, tearing through the space.
This looks like a unilateral attack by my aunt, and Chang Sheng can only passively accept it. However, the aunt also wanted to stop this deadly attack quickly. Every time she attacked, her palm fingers collided with the tortoiseshell, giving her the illusion that she was a three-year-old girl trying to shake Mount Everest.
Auntie's hands have been stained red with blood, as if she is wearing a bloody glove, and the rich smell of blood makes Auntie a little nauseous. The red light became more and more intense, and the collision with the tortoise shell became more and more intense, and the aunt could even hear the crisp bone cracking sound in her arm.
"Kan."
Zhang Yue whispered, the gossip diagram under his feet, and the Kanzi hexagram moved forward, facing his aunt, he pinched the seal, but he didn't make the next move. Auntie is too fast, constantly tearing through the space, moving in the space, even the extreme perception of the black and white pupils is difficult to capture this kind of teleportation.
If you can't catch it, you can only predict it. Zhang Yue's soul power spread out, opening like a big net, and then quickly contracted, concentrating around her aunt, observing her attack route and time. After a retreat from his aunt, Zhang Yue moved, he flicked his fingers, and the ready-to-go Kanzi hexagram flew out and landed in the air. At the same time, the space there cracked, and the appearance of the aunt's figure happened to collide with this sudden Kanzi hexagram.
The soft power is as warm as water, washing the whole body of the aunt, like a gust of spring rain, calling for new life. Auntie felt refreshed, and at this time she should only moan to express her feelings, but because the occasion was inappropriate, Auntie still held back, and responded with a more aggressive attack.
"It's not broken!"
The dark red light erupted into the most violent attack since the launch, and the cracks that had not healed around them echoed at this moment, and they became the sharpest blades of the aunt, cutting through the incomparably hard mountain in front of her.
Snort!
Chang Sheng was crazy, he raised his head to the sky and roared, one after another, sad and sad, the blue-black breath ran down his throat, spat out from the open giant mouth, and rushed to the sky like a volcanic eruption, and then exploded in the sky. A splendid flower blooms, fleeting, more decisive than fireworks, leaving only a moment of beauty, and only the light and rain that destroys the world remain.
The aunt was also surprised, one second ago, she was still happy that she had finally cracked the broken turtle shell, and the next second, she was about to face this light rain of annihilation.
Auntie doesn't have time to think too much, she can avoid the rain, and there are two guys down there who don't have much combat power! She moved, and was about to teleport when a fresh breeze blew past her ears. Zhang Yue stood beside her and said softly, "You continue, I'll block it." ”
"Are you sure?"
Zhang Yue did not speak, but chose to answer with the knife in his hand. It was the village rain, the jade-like blade, flashing white under the reflection of the sun, and it was a little dazzling.
"Away, shake,."
The three hexagrams flew out and stuck to the body of the knife, and the three completely different substances of flame, thunder, and flowing water were actually compatible together, making the knife magically changed.
The flame is like fuel, providing a steady stream of energy, urging the energy of the knife itself to continue to sublimate, and the white light is becoming more and more intense, and the thick sword qi emanates from the white light. The thunder light was like a coagulant, and the sudden surge of power was forcibly contracted by the thunder light, and it was frozen on the body of the knife, as if a layer of crystal had formed on the body of the knife. The last flowing water washed the knife again, and the power that was still violent and restless calmed down and became controllable and stable.
Holding this knife, Zhang Yue was a little more confident. He raised his head and stared directly at the rain of light in the sky, the Xun hexagram under his feet glittering, and a gust of wind rolled up, dragging him up into the sky. In mid-air, he slammed his knife and stood firmly. At that moment, my aunt thought he was holding up the sky.
The light rain fell, but it only fell in front of Zhang Yue. The explosion began. Mushroom clouds rise, and flowers bloom underneath. All at once the sky was occupied by blue-black, the clouds were torn apart, and the birds in flight died innocently and tragically. This scene, people who don't know, really think it's the end of the world.
The explosion continued, and the shockwave at the core raged wildly, trying to blast through the invisible diaphragm in front of it. But the man with the horizontal knife was so tenacious that he couldn't speak, standing in the air without moving, quite a touch of tortoiseshell style.
In addition to the attack, the aunt didn't forget to look up at the man who was holding up the sky, and muttered: "It seems that he has really grown up and looks like a man." ”
As she spoke, the crack was torn apart by her, and countless cracks extended from it, and in an instant, the entire tortoise shell was densely covered.
Whew!
Chang Sheng's inflexible head turned around with a struggle, opened his huge mouth and bit her, biting her aunt in one bite. The mouth that is almost open 180 degrees, biting down at this crazy speed, even if the aunt is copper and iron, will be bitten into minced meat. But the aunt stood peacefully between the sharp teeth, and without even teleporting, countless fragments flew around her, scratching Chang Sheng's mouth.
The collapsed basement was covered with rubble, and if it wasn't for the aunt who moved the car out in advance, I really don't know how many luxury cars could be smashed in this moment. In the center of the hole, an old man lay on the ground.
He was hunched on his back, full of gray hair, unwilling, helpless, sadness oozing from the wrinkles of his face, he stretched out his hand to grab ahead, but could only touch the tip of his aunt's shoes, he raised his head to look at his aunt, opened his mouth, and a few blood-stained teeth trembled slightly in the wind.
He is Changsheng, the immortal person, the immortal demon, who would have thought that one day he would show such an old state.
"What do you want to say?" The aunt bent down and approached Chang Sheng's mouth, but she could only hear a faint exhalation and a few inaudible words.
"Chang...... Often...... Xin, save ...... Rainbow ......"
The aunt pressed Chang Xin's back mouth in the back of the blood, and the strange spirit in her body gushed out, forcibly arousing Chang Sheng's breath, "If you have anything else to say, tell her yourself." ”
Zhang Yue took back the village rain and helped Chang Xin, who was already completely sluggish. Cold hands, without the slightest temperature, Chang Xin didn't even resist, just let Zhang Yue hold her hand, she couldn't stand up, her legs were already numb, I'm afraid even her brain is like this.
Zhang Yue let go of her hand and simply hugged her directly, "Your father has something to say to you, listen to it!" Zhang Yue's voice wrapped the soul power, through his ears, through Chang Xin's mind, as if his hands were not strong at the moment, talking about Chang Xin, who had sunk into the darkness, hugged him.
"Daddy?"
Chang Xin was placed in front of Chang Sheng, she looked at the old man in front of her who was about to die, and said the most familiar name with some uncertainty. This is really her dad, why does it feel so strange.
It is often said in books that the father is the first love of his daughter in his previous life, and there will be an inexplicable connection between the two, a sense of intimacy that comes from the blood. But Chang Xin couldn't feel it, she suddenly found that she hadn't felt this way for so many years. Even if she could recognize this man as her father at a glance, even if he was too old to look good.
Chang Sheng smiled with relief, with the help of his aunt, he had strength, he climbed forward and held Chang Xin's hand tightly. The rough hand is like withered and rotten wood, and every wrinkle is cutting Chang Xin's heart.
The heart-wrenching pain made Chang Xin very uncomfortable, she couldn't help but hold Chang Sheng's hand, the previous uncertainty was abandoned by her, and now she can be very sure that this person is her father, the father who is serious and always blames herself.
"Xin'er ......"
"Dad, what the hell is going on? Why is this happening? Didn't you say that everything would be fine? That's not good at all! The tears were gone, and the long and thick lower eyelashes couldn't stop the big tears, and the fair and pretty face was washed away by the tears at once.
Chang Sheng sighed weakly, he reached out to wipe the tears from his daughter's face, but he couldn't reach it, and he didn't have the strength to stand up when he was lying on the ground.
"Xin'er, I'll tell you a story, okay?"
"Hmmm......"
"Once upon a time, a youkai fell in love with a girl. Unfortunately, the girl died. The youkai was sad, so he turned into a mountain and decided never to be contaminated with dust again. But years later, a girl waited for the mountain. The youkai who had been sleeping for many years woke up, and he smelled a familiar smell. That smell, the monster will never forget for the rest of his life, it is the taste of the girls he loves.
On that day, the monster unconsciously walked into the edge of the earth again. The world has changed, he doesn't care, he just wants to be by the girl's side. Just like it did many years ago.
The monster and the girl fell in love, and they were happy. But youkai are very distressed, because humans and demons cannot have children, and the fragile body of humans cannot give birth to the powerful genes of youkai. So, youkai all over the world looking for a child who can be their next generation. One day, he met a beggar couple. They snuggled up to each other under the bridge, wearing tattered clothes, their hands and feet were frozen, but they still hugged the newborn baby tightly and warmed it with their bodies.
The baby miraculously survived, on that snowy night. But her parents froze to death and were buried by the wind and snow. The youkai took the baby away. Since then, the monster and the girl have a lovely daughter. The youkai thought that everything would pass, and he supported the family through many storms, always, all the way, all the way to the present.
But the girl has changed. She's old. Youkai don't get old, he has a long life. So, the girl panicked, she was in a panic every day. The husband is still young, and the daughter is in the flowering season. In her eyes, the father and daughter are like a loving couple. Panic slowly turns into jealousy, and she begins to be full of twisted obsessions about youth.
The youkai knew that if he didn't organize this obsession, it would cause a catastrophe. It's like a girl in that life. Therefore, the monster paid his own longevity to mend the girl's youth. But the monster found that he had lost his longevity and began to age, and he had gray hair and wrinkles. At that moment, the youkai even began to panic.
Isn't it ridiculous? People who think they are immortal are so afraid of aging. He eats people, and makes up for his loss through the blood of young people......"
It's a long, long story, and Chang Sheng finished it in one breath, speaking very quickly, without giving anyone a chance to interrupt. There will be no one to interrupt the story told by a dying person, even Zhang Yue and her aunt who are on the opposite side.
Chang Sheng is the monster in the story, Ye Banghong is the girl, and Chang Xin is the baby who survived the snowy night.
The protagonist of the story is clear to everyone, but this story makes people feel powerless and regretful. An infatuated monster who gave everything for his lover and for his daughter. As a husband, a father, maybe he wasn't wrong. If you insist on saying the wrong thing, you can only blame him for loving the wrong person.
As a demon, how can you fall in love with someone? How can completely different creatures love each other? A person's life is just a small fragment of their long life for demons, and it is not worth mentioning. When people have aged and become rotten wood, the demon is still the rising sun. At that time, the light of the sun is no longer warm to the dead wood, but hot, and the dead wood will be burned unconsciously.
Chang Sheng's hand was on Chang Xin's hand, and it gradually cooled until it completely lost its temperature and turned into a cold dead thing. This is the end of the story.
Zhang Yue and her aunt stood beside the father and daughter, watching quietly. On the fourth floor of a building in the northwest corner of the community, there is a family, the hostess is sitting in front of the mirror and dressing herself intently, and her youthful and beautiful face does not show the slightest trace of time.
Chang Xin cried, and her tears took her makeup, but she still looked beautiful. She raised her head and looked at Zhang Yue and her aunt with blurred teary eyes, and said in a choked voice: "This is not the result I want." ”
"For the sake of your mother, your father will continue to kill. Your mother's youth was bought with someone else's blood, which is unfair to those who died. What's more, humans and demons can't coexist in the first place. ”
"We're so happy, why is this happening?" Chang Xin picked up Chang Sheng, hugged him tightly, and brushed away the white messy hair on his forehead with his hand, revealing the old face completely.
The aunt thought for a while and said, "Because, he is a demon, you are human." ”
"Ridiculous! Ridiculous! Ridiculous! ”
Is it ridiculous? Are humans and demons destined to be incompatible? It turns out that this world is not as wide as imagined, in fact, it is so narrow that it makes people feel distressed. If there are people, there can be no demons, and if there are demons, there can be no people.
Auntie ignored the reprimand, "I'm sorry, we're running out of time, you have to make a choice now." Sign this confidentiality agreement, or we will forcibly erase your memory, the choice is yours. ”
Chang Xin smiled bitterly: "Do I have the right to choose?" You are so powerful that you can even kill youkai, let alone me? You say my father eats people, so what are you to him? ”
"The executioner who killed the demon, you don't need to say it, we know it. This is our job, and you have the right to hate us, with this memory. However, we won't let you tell these secrets. "My aunt is rarely tough, a strand of hair hangs down from her forehead, covering half of her eyes, and her pretty face is less gentle than usual, and a little more cold and hard.
Chang Xin gritted his teeth and said coldly: "I hate you, I will hate you for the rest of my life!" Whatever the reason, you are murderers in my heart! Hear clearly, it's not killing demons, it's killing people! Kill my father, Changsheng! I will curse you, curse you for the rest of my life, with this memory! ”
Auntie's face gradually softened, and she became as gentle as usual, she smiled and took out a blank piece of paper from the yin and yang ring, "I'm sorry, I'm offended." Auntie swiped through Chang Xin's skin and pulled out a few drops of blood and dripped them on the paper. In a moment, the white paper appeared one by one, forming a contract, and the signature of the permanent life was signed at the place of payment, blood-colored.
"Good luck." The aunt turned around and grabbed Zhang Yue, who wanted to come forward, teleported, and left together.
The black and white world disappears, a huge crater appears in the community, the collapsed basement is buried by rubble, and a young girl kneels in the center of the hole, holding an old man in her arms. The mother of the teenage girl, the wife of the man, looks in the mirror at home.
……
Back in the Mirror Division, Zhang Yue broke away from her aunt's hand and said, "You can not tell her, can you?" ”
"Yes! Just erase all her memories of Chang Sheng and Ye Banghong. But do you think that's good for her? Auntie asked rhetorically. ”
"At least ......"
"At least you won't see her tears, at least she won't hate you, will you?"
"No......"
"At the end of the day, people are still selfish. You selfishly want Chang Xin to live in false peace, but have you ever thought that this is her choice. In that case, I respect her choice. ”
