Chapter 7: The Nightmare of the First Life Wanders
The ghostly light flickered very faintly, as if to declare to them the hope of life, as if to tempt them into greater darkness.
Guo Ao suddenly stopped, and a sense of fear erupted from the ghostly light and was implanted in his heart.
That is a master's intuition for danger, and he has saved Guo Ao's life several times at critical moments.
Could there be a more terrible enemy hiding in this hole, waiting to stop them?
Could it be that the enemy is more terrible than Zhong Chengzi?
Guo Ao's eyes flashed with a complicated look, and fate once again stood in front of him with an unknown attitude of vast desert, making him feel boundless fear.
This fear, which originally existed only in those broken memories, has not been repeated for many years, but now it is so irrepressibly welling up in my heart.
Qiu Xuan frowned and said, "Hurry up, if you don't leave, it's too late!" β
It was indeed a little too late, because Zhong Chengzi stretched out a few thicker and longer blades from his back, and he was slowly pressing towards them with the blades as his feet.
Forward or backward?
Guo Ao gritted his teeth, took Qiu Xuan's hand, and rushed into the faint light of the cave.
Vaguely, he heard Zhong Chengzi sigh.
The glow grew brighter and brighter, enveloping them. The two of them were engulfed in the ghostly light, leaving only the sound of footsteps crashing against the cave walls, clanging.
Guo Ao's footsteps suddenly stopped, and he refused to take half a step forward.
Qiu Xuan couldn't stop for a while, but Guo Ao's hand grabbed her tightly, causing her arm to suffer a sharp pain. Qiu Xuan glanced at Guo Ao in surprise, but found that Guo Ao's body was trembling violently, and his eyes were completely filled with horror.
A moment of astonishment rose in Qiu Xuan's heart, what she saw did not seem to be a swordsman in extreme danger, but a child who was overwhelmed by fear.
She couldn't help but follow Guo Ao's gaze, and her beautiful face was instantly filled with astonishment.
This is not a passage to the outside of the mountain, but a small house, a showroom. It's just that the displays are too bizarre. Each of them was blurry and distorted, as if it were a mass of paper covered in ink and then crumpled, piled up in a mess. But the tray on which they were held was a gold plate with a very delicate pattern.
A huge cluster of crystals rises from the gold plate, wrapping them in the middle, as if they are fossils from hundreds of millions of years ago, frozen in this huge crystal.
This blurry display exudes an extremely treacherous and cruel atmosphere, which makes people can't bear to look at it anymore.
Because, they are too much like people.
One by one, twisted, crumpled people.
Qiu Xuan even saw a head, the head was still intact, which was why the expression on its face was so vivid, so vivid that the fear shown in its every trace was enough to break the courage of an ordinary person.
Qiu Xuan couldn't help but imagine that the filthy black mass was actually its body! The thought made her feel sick. What kind of tricks would ravage a person's flesh to such an extent?
Qiu Xuan was stunned for a moment, then turned around and rushed out. She would never want to stay here for even a second.
There was a sudden sound, and Guo Ao fell to the ground.
His hand was still holding Qiu Xuan tightly, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't get rid of it. It was as if it was the last trace of warmth held by the ghost that sank into the Naihe, and it refused to let go no matter what.
Guo Ao's eyes were closed, his body was convulsed, and he was unconscious.
Qiu Xuan was stunned, took off the begonia on her head, and stabbed Guo Ao's eyebrows hard: "Hurry up!" You can't sleep here! β
A voice said, "Every fifteenth month, I have to stay in this house for half an hour to take a good look at my works." β
Zhong Chengzi paced over in a dashing manner, although the blood soaked the placket on his chest and kept flowing downward, he was completely unaware.
There was a hint of pride in his expression, and he looked glorious: "Although they all failed, they came from a great idea, so they are just as great." β
His gaze swept over the filth, and there was infinite admiration in his gaze: "Every time I sit in this room, I feel that I am with greatness. β
His gaze swept over them, and finally landed on the twitching Guo Ao, and his voice was extremely soft, as if with supreme kindness: "Are you coming back again to complete my idea, or are you responding to their call?" β
His hands were wide open, as if to embrace the filth: "They are all your brothers!" β
Guo Ao, who was in a coma, seemed to hear this, and his body shook violently.
Qiu Xuan had a disgusted expression on his face: "You...... You said it was all hisβ"
She seemed to feel that these two words were very cruel, and hesitated for a long time before she spit out: "Brother? β
Zhong Chengzi smiled and said, "Not bad! They were all great and sacrificed themselves to fulfill the best of them. If it weren't for Guo Ao, a coward, who escaped at the last moment, they wouldn't have died so meaninglessly. β
His eyes fell on Qiu Xuan: "So the responsibilities you shoulder are as heavy as Mount Tai, they will become great because of you, and my ideas will also come true." β
Qiu Xuan sneered, "Let me finish your idea?" Do you know who I am? β
Zhong Chengzi's smile was extremely elegant: "You are my child, my princess, and a great creation of creation - maybe you don't know it yourself, every drop of blood flowing in your body can only be possessed by a true kendo genius, don't run away from it!" β
Blades protruded from his back, blocking the entire hole. The edge of the knife reflected the ghostly light that filled the cave, and the ghostly light drifted, boundless, and unpredictable.
Qiu Xuan suddenly thought that this ghostly light was emitted from the crystal that imprisoned those filth.
She grabbed Guo Ao's hand hard.
But Guo Ao didn't even move anymore. The smile on Zhong Chengzi's face made Qiu Xuan feel a creepy sense of danger, and she suddenly pulled out a dagger and stabbed it on Guo Ao's shoulder. The severe pain made Guo Ao bounce to his feet, and then, his gaze was tightly absorbed by the filth raised in the crystal, and he could no longer take his eyes off.
Once upon a time, he knew each and every one of them, and he knew every one of their faces.
He also remembered the screams they had as they left him and walked towards the blazing fire, and finally, it was him in the blazing fire.
It was a hellish memory, which was locked in Guo Ao's heart, something he would never want to touch.
But now, the seal has been bloodily opened, and grief and horror come together.
He wanted to reach out and touch these long lost faces, but he didn't dare, he was afraid that if he moved, he would fall into that nightmare again, and never wake up again.
Zhong Chengzi's laughing voice came: "Do you remember the feeling of being wrapped in them?" β
This sentence suddenly pierced Guo Ao's heart, and his quiet body trembled violently again, trembling uncontrollably! Zhong Chengzi let out a shrill shrill laugh, as if he was enjoying Guo Ao's fear.
A desolate roar came from Guo Ao's mouth, and his eyes suddenly turned to stare at Zhong Chengzi's face. His trembling was so violent, but these eyes were extremely quiet, as if the world had changed, and the wind and clouds had changed, and they could not affect these eyes!
Because there is no emotion in these eyes anymore.
It was the peace after the extreme injury, and the fear of the extreme.
The tearing roar took Guo Ao's body and rushed towards Zhong Chengzi. Zhong Chengzi's eyes showed an excited light, as if he had finally waited for this moment, the white light suddenly became intense, and the blade behind him brought a gust of colorful wind and slashed towards Guo Ao!
Guo Ao didn't dodge, the blade slashed at Guo Ao's body, and those colorful halos instantly penetrated through his body and penetrated deep into his blood. However, Guo Ao didn't stop for a moment, and punched Zhong Chengzi in the face!
As soon as this punch came out, the glow of the cave was dimmed, and more than a dozen huge crystals broke together, and a tuft of blood surged up on Guo Ao's fist, but an inexplicable power suddenly appeared, dragging the explosion to gather on this fist again, as if with the resentment of more than a dozen people, it happily bombarded Zhong Chengzi's face!
Zhong Chengzi's face immediately distorted, and he fell straight backwards by this punch, slamming into the cave wall.
His incomparably exquisite Great Luo Immortal Array couldn't even block this punch.
But he laughed wildly, as if he saw some treasure: "Fight well, fight well, from now on, Da Luo's true qi has been injected into your body, and you are no longer your former self." β
Guo Ao strode towards him, but was grabbed by Qiu Xuan and shouted, "Hurry up!" β
Guo Ao's mind was a little clearer, and he knew that Zhong Chengzi had a lot of strange mechanisms, and if he didn't leave, he was afraid that he would never be able to escape again, so he hurriedly ran out of the cave with Qiu Xuan.
Zhong Chengzi's wild laughter roared through the entire cave and spread from afar: "You will definitely come back again, you remember, this is your fate!" β
This laughter pierced Guo Ao's heart like a curse, he gritted his teeth, desperately suppressed the fear in his heart, and rushed out.
This time, they were unhindered and made their way out of the cave. But the cave was in the middle of the cliff, and they had nowhere to escape. Looking up at the vast sky, looking down at the verdant valley, they hung halfway up the mountainside.
Qiu Xuan frowned, maybe they should have snatched that Xuanji Qingfeng.
Guo Ao suddenly let go of her hand and grabbed it at his chest. His expression was extremely pained, as if he was about to dig out some filth in his body.
After a few moments, he seemed to realize that his efforts had been in vain, so he stopped and threw his head up to the sky with a long howl.
The whistle was terrible, shaking the sky. He suddenly jumped to the bottom of the valley!
It's not about running for your life, it's about committing suicide.
Qiu Xuan was shocked, she didn't understand why Guo Ao was like this, she stretched out her hand to grab him, but where was the time?
The clouds and mist are misty, and the traces of Guo Ao, who have long disappeared under the cliff. She took out the two strange insects from her bosom and said, "Goo, Lulu, help me quickly!" β
The two strange insects were still asleep, and when they heard this, they opened their eyes and howled unwillingly, and slowly opened their two huge ears. Qiu Xuan's body jumped up in the air, and the four huge ears of the two strange insects were all opened, like four huge umbrellas, holding the wind and letting Qiu Xuan fall smoothly.
In the valley was a dense jungle full of vines and weeds, and a thick layer had accumulated. Therefore, when Qiu Xuan found Guo Ao, he found that although he was injured all over his body, he did not die. I saw that Guo Ao's mouth was tightly closed, and he would never say a word. Qiu Xuan knew that in that cave, there must be Guo Ao's extremely painful past.
She sighed lightly and pulled Guo Ao up silently.
Guo Ao struggled and crawled out with all his strength. The vines wrapped around his feet, and he kicked and pulled hard, and the weeds caught his hands, and he tore at them as hard as if to drive away the seeds that the demons had planted in his body.
And yet he couldn't. All he could do was stay away from the valley.
It may not be this valley that he wants to leave, but that memory, that nightmare.
Qiu Xuan followed him silently, she knew that no one could help him in this matter.
If you want to get out of your own heart, you can only rely on yourself.
After a day and a night of struggle, they finally made it out of the valley.
Qiu Xuan has completely lost interest in this trip to Emei, she just wants to return to Huayin Pavilion as soon as possible, lie down in her begonia flowers, and enjoy the wine and sunset.
The rivers and lakes are sinister, and Qiu Xuan even regrets setting foot on this land again.
When the morning sun rose, the frenzy on Guo Ao's face had gradually calmed down. Even, more calm and resolute than before. But there was a strange light in his eyes.
He walked forward mechanically, but not down the mountain, but up the mountain.
Qiu Xuan looked at his back, and vaguely felt a little strange.
