I suddenly reacted that Chu City was separated from the outlying islands. But it's not free, it's surrounded by thick fog, how can you get to shore now? And just when I came in, there were long passage stone steps, including here, which I had never seen in Chu City.

He explained my confusion: "Although the outlying island is sinking, it has not yet sunk to the bottom. The ship is docked on the shore of the outlying island, and the road you came in is a secret passage, which is the bottom of Chu City, and the upper layer is all destroyed. ”

Ruined? "Why is it ruined?"

He glanced at me again, then lowered his head: "Didn't Xu Jianglun tell you?" ”

My heart was stagnant, Xu Jianglun had never mentioned to me about that day before today, and just before he died, he vaguely mentioned that the destruction of that space was because of the outlying island.

"That space is free from our reality, but it is not only Chu City, but also the core of the outlying island and even this island that has been strangely born in this river area for thousands of years. When it is destroyed like a castle with the power of Cuigula, then the surroundings where we are will definitely be centered on Chu City, and will be affected by the implication, and it will be the closest to the island, so it will be the first to sink. ”

He stated it in a calm tone, as if it were a common thing. And his attention was always focused on pressing my legs, and his eyebrows and eyes were full of seriousness. I asked, "Why did my legs become like this?" "It's been like this since I woke up, and Xu Jianglun also asked the doctor on the island to check on me, but there was no clear answer.

At this time, I heard him say: "It is caused by the compression of the cranial nerves, and it will be cured if you often massage and press the acupoints like this." Not a big deal. When I heard the word "cranial nerve", my heart skipped a beat, and I didn't dare to think about it for a long time, and only then was it provoked by his words. Taking a deep breath, he gritted his teeth and asked with the mentality of a strong man breaking his wrists: "I'm still the same ...... Brain? He paused, stopped moving, gently helped me pull down the trouser tube and put on my shoes again, and then got up and looked at me with a slight downward gaze, "Even that space is ruined, where is the brain?" After a pause, he asked again: "Can you still draw pictures recently?" ”

I shook my head blankly, in fact, when I woke up and recognized the whole thing, the first thing I wanted to use was to draw shadows, but let alone paintings, even the paintings became jerky, and there were no fragments of images in my mind, so I had no way of knowing what happened after the drowsiness. Then his heart twitched again, and he asked nervously, "What about you?" ”

He smiled and reached out to stroke my head, "Little bamboo, I'll let you go if you eat it." Learn to take it step by step, knock on the side, this question has just answered you, do you still need to repeat it? ”

I was not distracted by his distractions, and stubbornly demanded, "I need you to repeat it, I want to hear the exact answer." ”

The smile on the corner of his mouth slowly faded, and the light in his dark eyes faded out, and he said: "The space is ruined, the brain is gone, where is the heart?" ”

"What about your body?" I pressed urgently. The former is of course concerned, the latter is the most concerned, in my case, whether he can become a demon or not, whether the demon is still there, as long as he is him.

"If I say that I ruined the space with ......"

"Impossible!" At the moment when he uttered a bad word, I shouted angrily and cut it off, "Gao Cheng, you don't want to lie to me again." But as long as you say that possibility, you won't see me today, and Zhang Ji won't bring me over. You've fooled me for so long, are you still going to fool me? He turned around and shouted in a raised voice: "Sheng Shiyao, you come out!" ”

I'm not stupid, among all the people: Zhang Ji, Luo Jinghan, Xie Rui, including the unrecognizable Gao Cheng, but Sheng Shiyao is not there. With his attainments and abilities, how could he not have escaped the catastrophe? Then there is only one possibility that he did not appear: there is a secret between him and Gao Cheng. I may not have the ability to draw shadows, but I have his blood flowing in my body, and I am in harmony with Takashiro's blood, and as soon as I step into this stone room, I feel a strong feeling.

He's there, or rather, they're all there, right there.

A bang suddenly sounded from behind me, and I turned my head in shock, only to see that the stone wall was slowly moving to one side, and Sheng Shiyao slowly walked out from the inside. Ignoring my stunned expression, he drifted towards Gao Cheng with a very faint look: "You are inferior. He looked at me instead, frowned and looked at me for a while, and then commented: "Xiaonan, you are becoming less and less cute." ”

I muttered: "Brother Yao......" came out with a begging sound. He raised his eyebrows: "Didn't you just roar with a name and surname?" He looked away slightly, but froze as he touched the wall.

I saw the ...... of Takashiro The body is up, inside the ice coffin.

Turning his head in slow motion, he turned his head to look at him who had become Li Chengjun, and then looked at the ice coffin, as if it was not his own voice overflowing from his throat: "Why is this happening? ”

Sheng Shiyao said lightly as usual: "Since it's all like this, there's no need to hide it." Come in both of you. ”

It was an ice room, and the temperature was shiveringly low, but I managed to get inside, even though my teeth were chattering. Except for me, both of them stared at the ice coffin with indifferent faces, and even Gao Cheng himself seemed to be indifferent.

Things are really not as complicated as I thought, Sheng Shiyao explained the front and back lines clearly in a few words. Roughly when Gao Cheng was in the canyon, he was almost catalyzed into a demon by Zhou Jing, and he noticed the difference, so he simply let me connect with Gao Cheng's lifeline, because one day we will have to face a life and death catastrophe together, and only the unity of heart and brain can survive this catastrophe. But even if he can calculate this heavenly opportunity, it can't be the end, when Gao Cheng is heart-oriented, manipulating that special space to try to release the confinement of the brain, a powerful force distorts the space, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as earth-shattering. Even the karst caves connected to the space collapsed in an instant.

At that moment, not to mention Gao Cheng, even Sheng Shiyao couldn't take care of me in order to balance the overall situation. Xu Jianglun rushed in and carried me away from the pile of rocks in this chaotic situation, and when he rushed out along the same road, there was a rumble and collapse behind him, and everything he could see was in ruins, and the ground where he was stepping was still sinking. I believe that at this time, no matter who thought that everyone was buried under the rubble and there were no dead bodies, Xu Jianglun did not hesitate to take me away by ferry and rowing.

Originally, he relied on the tracker hidden on my body to find it, so he walked the same path as Zhang Ji and me, that is, diving into the pool. So he only thought that that place was somewhere on the outlying island, but he didn't know that it was already Chu City, and after the collapse of Chu City, maybe because of the geological changes, the surrounding airflow also changed, and those heavy fogs dissipated. Even crocodiles lurking in certain areas have died mysteriously. Xu Jianglun didn't know that these were all confirmed by Sheng Shiyao's inference. And Xu Jianglun didn't know that under the collapsed Chu City, there was also an underground city.

There are casualties, but not all. What shocked me was that Gao Cheng's body was actually left at the bottom of Chu City at this time, and it had been sealed and guarded by Sheng Shiyao with this ice coffin. I was puzzled and asked, "Then why did he become Li Chengjun?" "Was Li Chengjun also at the scene at the time, and then escaped with Xu Jianglun? But it's unlikely, I clearly remember that it was already Gao Chengjun's Li Chengjun who said that Xu Jianglun carried me back alone, and he didn't participate in that event.

So in this case, the two are separated by several miles, how can Gao Cheng become him?

Sheng Shiyao glanced at Gao Cheng, and when he looked back at me, he said something that made me inexplicable: "You brought him back." ”

"Me?"

He nodded, "When the spatial form of the body is destroyed, the brain and the mind are united for mutual protection. ”

I swallowed: "You mean...... Gao Cheng was actually on me at that time? "And Xu Jianglun directly took me and him back? Is there anything more bizarre and fantastical than this? But in a blink of an eye, I thought of Qiu Yuebai and Ah Yue, their two minds were in the same body, and later there were even more Jing Yue. So the meaning of this moment is actually: "He transferred his mind to Li Chengjun's body and controlled his thinking, is that so?" ”

Sheng Shiyao smiled lightly: "That's about it, and I don't need to explain the rest of the matter." ”

I took a step forward and looked closely at Gao Cheng's body in the ice coffin, and I noticed that his chest was still heaving. It's amazing that people can still survive when they are separated from their hearts, so ...... I turned my head to look at the person behind me, "You're going back to your own body?" ”

Li Chengjun's face, Gao Cheng's eyes, I finally realized that something was wrong.

Sheng Shiyao has always sealed his body in the ice coffin and guarded it personally, if he can go back, it will be a lot of opportunities, Xu Jianglun didn't notice him and didn't look at him, why is he still just Li Chengjun now?

I tugged at Sheng Shiyao's sleeve blankly, "Is there something wrong?" ”

He looked at me deeply, "Xiaonan, you finally figured it out." It is against the norm to leave the body, and it is not easy to go back. It takes a certain amount of time, place and people to achieve it, and without that natural fixed space, he can only temporarily rely on this cold room and ice coffin to seal his body and keep his body functioning normally. ”

No matter how ignorant I am, I can understand the key: "What is the right time, place and people?" ”

Even Sheng Shiyao was silent. Meaning...... Ignorance? That is, the indefinite Gao Cheng's body was sealed in an ice coffin, and he became Li Chengjun? It was only then that I realized why Gao Cheng had to hide and deny me, and his expression was gloomy, because he was afraid that this time would not come. "Could it be...... Is there no other way? ”<
