Speaking of this, Gao Cheng turned his head: "Is there anything you want to ask?" ”

I thought for a moment and asked, "Did he tell you all these things?" Seeing him nod, I asked again, "Do you believe it?" ”

He smiled suddenly, his expression dark, and his gaze fell on the front, "Little bamboo, you really asked a very good question." I don't believe that how can such an outrageous thing happen when a city or even a region is transferred to the surface of the river? But if I don't believe it, where did this city come from? What you see now is dilapidated, but every brick and tile here has traces of history, for this reason, I once took it outside to find an expert to identify, and the conclusion was that it was related to Chu. ”

I wondered, "What does this confirm?" It could be that the Chu people moved to this island in a big way, and then built this city on top of it. But Gao Cheng asked, "Do you know how many bricks are needed to build this city?" Look at them now gray and difficult to distinguish, but these stones are white marble, and the tiles are glazed tiles. Maybe it wasn't a problem at the moment, but in that dynasty, the possibility of having to travel far away was zero. Another thing you don't know is that the city is not known to the outside world, to be precise, no one can see it. ”

Then I wondered, "Why?" "The city is erected here, and even if it is broken, it is all a physical entity, how can it not be seen? Suddenly thinking of the situation when he came in, he blurted out: "Is it because of the thick fog?" ”

"That's just one reason. I've done it, and it's related to the structure of the air layer here. When the sun is shining, the city will be refracted into the air like a phantom, virtual and real; When it rains on a cloudy day, it is shrouded in a fog and completely invisible. So even if someone sees it, they only think it's a mirage. ”

"No one is trying to find out?"

Gao Cheng shook his head: "What can't be found, there is no second person in this world who knows how to enter this city except me." "He's not a man of wild words, and since that's what he says, that's true. So, "Didn't they even come to the cold?" ”

"Nope."

"That village and the villagers outside, are they descendants of the Chu State?"

"No, those people were brought back by Chu Yuanfeng from a trip, and he is still living in an old dream, deceiving himself to create an environment where his homeland is not destroyed. But he didn't understand the truth that the crowd should first use rules and regulations to check and balance, and in the end, he was counterattacked and died. ”

I was shocked, he meant that Chu Yuanfeng was persecuted to death by those people on the island? And his tone ...... I couldn't hear the slightest sadness, but ridicule and disdain. After hesitating again and again, he asked the question that he hadn't finished asking at the beginning: "Is there any contradiction between Chu Yuanfeng and you?" "Actually, what I want to ask more is, who is Chu Yuanfeng his?

They are the last two of the descendants of the Chu State, if not relatives, but also people of the same race. Why does it seem so contradictory?

"Little bamboo, I've been thinking about a question." Takashiro didn't answer me immediately, but said this with a dazed expression. I casually asked, "What's the problem?" He rolled his eyes and looked at it, word by word: "Where does my inner demon come from?" ”

My heart skipped a half-beat, and I faintly felt the answer behind it.

He said: "It wasn't until I was sitting here telling you the story that I realized that maybe this demon came from him. "I went to take his hand, and I was shocked, why is it so cold? Looking at his face closely, it didn't look like there was a sign of a seizure.

"I'm fine." He had seen my concern, "It was the breath here that made me feel depressed." ”

I frowned deeply and sniffed carefully, except for the slight smell of floating dust in the air, I didn't feel anything special. Since it is not the external thing that affects him, it is the heart. There is a resistance in his heart to this place called home, and from a psychological point of view, this resistance is usually due to something bad happening in this place.

A soft sigh, from him. "Xiaozhuzi, don't analyze it in your heart, I'll tell you."

"Since I can remember, the only person I have seen is Chu Yuanfeng, and my scope of activity is only in this city. But if I take half a step out of the city gate, he will take me back and whip me with a rattan. What he said over and over again was: endure humiliation and bear the burden like a hook, and you can't sell your name as a learning bully. He had a dream until he died: saying that I am the last king of the Chu State, and with the blood of the king, I am bound to expand the territory of this eternal city one day. So I can't come out, I must be trapped in this broken city, otherwise I will break the sky and suffer a catastrophe.

He told me this brainwashing over and over again, but as I grew up, I had a rebellious nerve in my brain, and the more he didn't want me to leave the city, the more I wanted to go to the outside world. Finally I managed to leave, and with my judgment I broke through Yaaki to the other side, and saw a crowd other than him. I also saw him standing on a high platform, pointing fingers and reprimanding the people below, in his eyes those people were all ignorant and ignorant, shedding lowly blood, and not at all as noble as the blood of his Chu royal family.

I was only eight years old at the time, and when I looked at every pair of eyes, I noticed that most of them were fearful and cowardly, but a few of them were hiding resentment, especially the two who were being reprimanded by him. I didn't have time to go far, I was caught by Chu Yuanfeng again, this time he didn't beat me, but carried my ferry and threw me on an isolated island a few kilometers away, before leaving, he said to me: Give you three days, if you can survive, it proves that Wang Blood does not exist in name. ”

Speaking of this, Gao Cheng stopped, his breath was even more silent than before, and his eyes seemed to be embedded in the desert, barren and desolate. Looking at him like this, I didn't dare to ask what was on that island, and how he spent those three days, and what made me feel even more depressed was that he was only eight years old that year.

Another age base is left between his lips and teeth, but his experience does not match his age at all.

Gao Cheng's voice was still calm when he spoke again: "Three days later, he brought me back here in my dying, and only said one sentence: This is the end of your self-indulgence. These words have been etched in my mind since that day, until I was able to bring him down. ”

My heart was shocked, and I lost my voice and asked, "Won't it be your ...... his death?"

He smiled lightly, with a chill in his heart, "If he doesn't die, how can I live?" "I was stunned.

"When a person's obsession with something becomes an obsession, then that person's mind is not normal. For the next two years, he lived a very selfish life, and the self became a slave in his eyes, and this situation developed into a popular grievance. The human heart is always the most elusive, it will be loyal to you in the first moment, but when it is not equal in return, it will also become a murderous knife. ”

Kill with a knife! I had those four words in my head. I don't want to ask the details of how Chu Yuanfeng died, I can probably guess that Gao Cheng set up a bureau to invite you into the urn when I was a child, and then with the help of the resentment of the villagers, Chu Yuanfeng, who should have been the only one who can be regarded as a relative, was sent to Huangquan Road. Gao Cheng was only ten years old that year, and he actually understood this reason, to what extent was this precocious? No, it's not just precocious, it's about mastering and controlling people's psychology.

It's not something you can get by training, it's talent. If you can have this attainment when you are a child, you should be him. But I still can't imagine that after Chu Yuanfeng's death, he set up a spiritual seat for him in this ruined city and settled the aftermath, so after that, how would he live alone? Will he stay here, or will he step out of the place that has sealed him for ten years?

Takashiro's expression was dark, and he said, "After his death, I thought I was relieved. I didn't hesitate to ferry out of the city, thinking that it would be better to go anywhere than here. When I reached the other side, I traveled around the island all day, and when night fell, I realized that even if I went out of the city, I would not be able to leave the island. There are vast rivers and seas all around, and I can't get out on my own. I'm going to need manpower, and it's in that village. But under Chu Yuanfeng's years of suppression, their lives have been struggling. ”

"That's not right." Hearing this, I couldn't help but interrupt him, "Didn't you say that those people were brought back from outside by Chu Yuanfeng?" Since he had sailed, he should have a means of sailing, such as a ship, and a crew. ”

Gao Cheng sneered, "How old were you when he died?" ”

I was stunned for a moment, didn't think about it, and replied hesitantly: "Probably...... Forty or fifty. I really don't have any concept of this age, only judging from Chu Yuanfeng's old-fashioned thinking and behavior, it should not be too young, but seeing Gao Cheng shook his head: "I don't know his age, I only know from the oldest old man in the village that the old man was the first batch of people to be brought to the island, he was only twenty years old that year, and Chu Yuanfeng is the picture I saw about fifty." ”

A strange feeling floated in my heart, "How old is that old man now?" ”

"The old man died ten years ago, and when I was ten years old, the old man was seventy."

Sorry! The old man was taken to the island by Chu Yuanfeng when he was twenty years old, and fifty years have passed when he was seventy years old, if Chu Yuanfeng was fifty years old when he set sail that year, wouldn't he be a hundred years old when he died? Another week! So I understand what Gao Cheng meant, the old man may have been kidnapped to the island by Chu Yuanfeng one after another, but he may have completed his goal in the first twenty years, and in the next thirty years, with his closed and self-defended character, the extreme thing he will do is to destroy the ship and make the crew who may sail disappear, so that even if the people on the island have the heart to rebel, they will not be able to get out of this isolated island.

In addition, Chu Yuanfeng will definitely have special skills, so that everyone can be afraid of him or even afraid of him. But according to his so-called Chu people's thoughts, two thousand years ago he shouted "Violent Qin will die" and "Death Qin will be Chu", but today, two thousand years later, he is doing the same thing, and even being so brutal to Gao Cheng, who is still a child, then death will only be his final end.

Originally, I was a person whose moral scale was at the highest point, no matter what period of life Xia Zhu or Yang Xiaofeng was in, I had a deep hatred for sin. But at this moment, I only felt happy when I listened to such a person in the story from life to death. Not only because this person who has been wronged is my high city, but also because if such a person still survives in the world, he will really become a demon, and it will be the biggest trouble. <
