73. Memory Fault
I pondered for a moment and made a hypothesis: "Could it be that something happened later that caused you to lose your memories after leaving the Soul City?" As for you not being able to feel Ying Ning's soul, will it be that after a thousand years, her soul has been dispersed? ”
"You still don't understand, I'm talking about memory disconnects, not amnesia. The fault means that it jumps through a blank space and jumps directly to another level, and after I fit with you, I not only have the memory of a wizard, but also ...... Memories of the Khitan kings. And you said that Ying Ning's soul will disperse after a thousand years, which is simply impossible, I clearly remember that at that time, I used the soul binding technique, fusing her with the ice sculpture, unless the ice sculpture is broken and I personally solve the technique, the soul can be dispersed. ”
"Ahh Khitan King! "I looked at him in disbelief, and he said he still had the memory of the Khitan king?" Is the wizard really connected to the Khitan king? ”
But I heard him say: "I'm not sure if there is a connection, the images in my brain do not have the intersection of the two memories." They are parallel, I have all the memories of the Khitan King from youth to adulthood, if there is any connection during this period, it is the Shadow Moon, in both memories, I am the master of the Shadow Moon. Speaking of Shadow Moon, I have to mention one thing......"
Then I heard him confide another secret, he said that he once thought he was a Khitan descendant, because when he saw the old stone tablet in Yunyuan, his first sense felt familiar, and he had never learned Khitan Chinese, but in an instant, those words were engraved into his mind, and then he automatically interpreted it little by little. There are a total of six steles recorded in the stele, and each stele will have a hint, as long as you find the sixth stele, you can run rampant all over the world.
At that time, he was not interested in what was rampant in the world, and he would not believe it, from the obsolescence of the ancient monument and the annihilation time of Khitan history, the ancient monument was at least more than a thousand years. What was rampant in the world at that time is definitely useless today. What intrigued him was why he didn't know the Khitan script. Following the prompt of the first stele, he went to the west of the city, and found the second one by the moat, which not only had a text prompt, but also an ancient map that extended from here.
Although the names of places marked on them are all places that he has never heard of, Sheng Shiyao's study of feng shui mysticism is particularly sensitive to the sense of place, and he soon judged that the end point of the stone tablet is the location of the primeval forest in Jiuzhaigou. In addition, he judged that this was a marching map, and the person who could carve the stone tablet should have some status in the army, probably a general, because it was impossible for ordinary soldiers to know the route of the march.
After that, he went to Jiuzhaigou and found four other stone tablets in the depths of the dense forest, but he did not find the "treasures" mentioned in the stone tablets, and the hints seemed to be interrupted. Later, because of my dream prompts, I realized that he was wrong earlier, the six stone tablets mentioned in the Yunyuan stone tablet do not include that one, from the side of the moat, plus the four pieces found before, there are only five pieces in total, and the sixth piece is exactly the one in the center of the four corners I dreamed of, and there is a record of the shadow moon on it.
When he picked up the Shadow Moon, a strange thing crossed his mind, and then disappeared in an instant. At that time, he couldn't help but feel funny, just this knife, can also run amok? So he turned around and gave me the knife. Later facts have proved that having the Shadow Moon may not be able to run rampant in the world, but it has been miraculous in repeated dangers.
Sheng Shiyao also said that when he was in the Green Lake Ancient Building and the Stone Room of the Mountain Villa, he looked at those paintings and had a very strong sense of familiarity, but he couldn't explain where that feeling came from. Especially when he saw the purple gold box under the stone platform, he was shocked, not only because the box was exactly the same as his grandmother, but he also had a feeling that the thing belonged to him. So knowing that the mechanism would be touched, he still took the risk of taking out the purple gold box, and wanted to cut it open with Shadow Moon to see what was inside, but Shadow Moon miraculously avoided it.
At that time, we were all confused by this, but at this time, we can understand in retrospect, because the purple gold box and the shadow moon are both witches, and after carrying them for thousands of years, the box and the shadow moon may have a spirit, so the shadow moon will not kill each other against the "companion".
At this point, a whim occurred in my mind, could it be that the Khitan king back then, like us, had also strayed into the Soul City, thus taking away the wizard's shadow moon and box, and later even imitated the wizard to wear a silver mask. But this can't explain the fact that Sheng Shiyao has the memories of two people stored in his head, could it be that the Khitan King is actually the second life of the wizard? And then Sheng Shiyao is the third life? His demonization in the Cave of the Bat King allowed him to open up the memories of his previous two lives at the same time?
Thinking that made a bit of an explanation, I was about to talk to him, but I saw him make a silent gesture at me. My heart sank, and I forgot where I was when I was so engaged in discussing with him that the sky was already bright outside the window, and the voices of people were coming.
In fact, there are still many doubts that I still have to solve, such as why he set up a bureau to find me, such as how he has the transformation in January every year, but this is not the time, so I can only press it in my heart for the time being.
Sheng Shiyao watched in front of the window, then turned around and beckoned to me, and said in a low voice, "Follow me." ”
I propped my hands on the ground, and when I got up, I felt that my skeleton was about to fall apart, and when I remembered what happened before, I couldn't help but feel gloomy, staring at his back, and the unspeakable emotions were astringent in my heart. I never thought I would develop with him...... So soon, his feelings were originally ignorant and liked, but when he avoided me, he was heartbroken, and gradually understood that it was not only a liking, but an inseparable attachment, so he was so stubborn to find him.
But I understood my own heart, what about him? What is his affection for me? He had the memories of a wizard, and he was deeply mourned by Ning's death, and it was the first time he had been honest about his emotions, but it was to another woman. Knowing that he shouldn't be sour about this, Ying Ning was an ancient man thousands of years ago, and he was already dead, but he couldn't control his mind.
"Tiny?" Sheng Shiyao's suspicious voice interrupted my thoughts, and I raised my eyes blankly, and saw him standing in front of the door looking at me, "What are you doing in a daze, someone has entered the next room, and if you don't leave, you will be discovered." ”
I hurriedly followed up and suppressed the distractions in my heart.
The two of them quietly walked out of the warehouse, deliberately going around the back of the warehouse, walking along the courtyard wall for a long time, and then back to the bottom of the recuperation area, I suddenly grabbed his arm, "Wait." He turned to look, "I want to see how my grandmother is doing, the man Aunt Mei brought last night is very weird, I am afraid that they will find out that after I escape, it will be unfavorable to my grandmother." ”
"Aren't you afraid that they will wait for the rabbit? Your Aunt Mei knows your mind so thoroughly, it's impossible not to guess that you will come back to your grandmother. If you want to get caught, go for it. ”
Eventually, I silently followed him out of a part of the courtyard wall, which had been built at the foot of the hill, and he led the way, not on the path I usually walked, first up the hill for a while, and then detoured down. It was not the first time he had walked to see how familiar he was, and it was only after half an hour that we arrived at the foot of the hill at the back of the mountain that I asked why we didn't just go through the back door and go out along the trail over there.
He glanced at me and said in a cool voice: "Last night, before you escaped, I observed the front door and the back door, each with someone left behind, the miniature camera in your grandmother's room was discovered, will your Aunt Mei not take precautions?" Last night, as soon as you got out the back door, you couldn't get far before you were caught. ”
"But why didn't they search for us in the courtyard at night?"
"Because you broke the lock on the back door, creating the illusion that you had escaped from the nursing home, they put the search outside the hospital."
In this way, he stepped forward to cover my mouth and dragged me away.
Now that I can't stay in the sanatorium, I can't go back home, where else can I go? Do you stay in a hotel? But Sheng Shiyao immediately vetoed, the hotel is the easiest place to be investigated, and judging from the secrets I have seen before, Aunt Mei has other thoughts about me for more than a day or two, and she categorically does not allow me to get out of their control at this time, so she is bound to launch a carpet search in this city to prevent me from leaving the city any possibility. It was almost certain that as soon as I showed up at a station, airport, etc., I would be immediately stopped.
But in fact, if I really have the heart to escape, it is not impossible, with Sheng Shiyao here, he naturally has the ability to take me away from this city unconsciously. But how can I walk with peace of mind? Grandma just woke up, Aunt Mei is like that, the man with the ring is unpredictable, and Yang Wenhao, surrounded by countless mysteries, if I don't solve it, I can't sleep.
I suddenly remembered what my grandmother had hinted to me last night, yes, I can go to my hometown.
My hometown is very remote, an hour and a half drive from the city, and it is a small village in the countryside. Later, when the environment improved, Aunt Mei took me to the city, bought a house, and never went back. The house is made of adobe bricks and tiles from the forties and fifties, with white gray exterior walls and black tile roofs. I don't remember that Aunt Mei mentioned what to do with the old house, because it is located in a remote area, it is difficult for the project to develop here, and such an old house cannot be sold at a price even if it is sold.
I haven't been back for more than ten years, and I don't remember the road very clearly. Because I reported the name of the village, I didn't even hear the taxi driver, so I could only send us to a nearby location to put it down, and then with a vague impression, we bypassed the twisting road and finally found the entrance of the village. If you don't see it with your own eyes, it's hard to imagine that there is such a closed village under the bustling city, and it's no wonder that others haven't heard of it, there is no decent way into the village, or the kind of ridge more than one meter wide, not even a gravel road, even if there is a car, you can't drive in.
I thought that such a remote and old village should be uninhabited, but I didn't think that there were still several families with their doors open. When we two strangers entered the village, we all paid attention.
