298. Start the journey (Xu's Qianqing, Tingtingzhi, seven_cat Crown)
As long as you live, it's fine.
For me, it's an extravagant hope, and I don't even dare to think about it. Jian Ning is lucky in the end, no matter what Zhuang Yu becomes, he still survives in the end, even if he has been lying like a vegetative person for five years, even if he can't speak after waking up, but he is at least alive.
As for why they returned to shore, the explanation I could find was that the Stygian space disappeared when the dust settled. But this explanation is really far-fetched, because we are all at the bottom of Fuxian Lake, even if the space will disappear, the ancient underwater city should still be there, the ancient city is gone, Fuxian Lake cannot be without, it stands to reason that Jian Ning will still be underwater when she wakes up.
The only thing that can be explained is that Zhuang Yu was not dead at that time, he took Jian Ningyi from the bottom of the water to the shore, and then fainted, just lying down in the same position as before Jian Ningyi fell unconscious. Although it is far-fetched, this is the greatest possibility I can think of, only in this way can I get the truth that I will appear in the valley of the Yan tribe, it was Zhuang Yu who took me and Jian Ning ashore with his last breath, and then instructed someone to send me to my grandmother. Otherwise, the valley of the Yan clan is not something that ordinary people can find casually.
But these things are just my speculations, and if I want to ask for a certificate, I have to find myself. When I proposed to talk to Zhuang Yu alone, Jian Ningyi hesitated for a long time, raised her eyes to see the starlight flashing, she said: "I don't want him to be the same again, I'd rather guard him like now, talk to him every day, look at his calm face, I often snicker in my dreams." ”
"I see." Hearing this, I nodded my head in understanding, not to blame her, but I might be the same, like a mother beast guarding a little beast, not allowing anyone to come close. Just as I turned around and was about to leave, Jian Ningyi called me from behind me: "Cheng Xiao, you go in." ”
I turned around in confusion and saw that she had a calm face, wondering why she had changed her mind again.
"It's just my thoughts, not his. And if there is anyone who can better understand everything I have been and what I am attached to now, it is you. ”
Hearing this, I was puzzled for a moment, but after thinking about it, I understood that Jian Ningyi's family did not agree with her guarding Zhuang Yu without desire like this.
Pushing open the door, Zhuang Yu was lying in a chair in front of the window, and the sun outside the window was just shining on him. His eyes were half-closed, but they opened when he heard footsteps, but he didn't look this way, staring out the window, the light was soft and not dazzling.
I pulled a square stool next to him and sat down, and I just kept looking at the side face. I think my gaze is greedy at the moment, knowing that it is not Sheng Shiyao in front of me, and I am reluctant to look away, just to seek some comfort from that similar outline.
In this process, he didn't even roll his eyes, his expression was calm and unwavering, and finally I sighed, lowered my eyes and whispered: "Zhuang Yu, in fact, you are conscious." When you turned to look at me, I knew you weren't soulless. Before entering the door, there is a small strand of extravagance in the hope that his soul has entered your body. In the end, I was delusional, how could he still be there? All of us may not die, but he, no. I don't know why you don't want to talk to Jian Ningyi, but you should see her infatuation with you, few people can be as stupid as her, guarding a vegetative person who doesn't know when he will wake up, and he will keep it for five years. So, treat her well, so that she loves you so much. ”
After saying that, I got up, withdrew the gaze that fell on Zhuang Yu's face, and turned to walk to the door.
When I walked out of the door, I saw Jian Ningyi running up nervously and asked anxiously, "How is it?" Has he opened his mouth to speak to you? ”
I frowned at her, shook my head lightly, and said, "No." She had a disappointed and happy expression on her face, smiled lightly and patted her on the shoulder, and said in an affirmative tone, "Jian Ningyi, you will be happy." ”
Bidding farewell to Jian Ningyi and coming out of the sanatorium, I exiled my true emotions, my uncontrollable hands trembled, and my feet were weak. Just now, after I finished saying something to Zhuang Yu, I got up and walked to the door, and as soon as my hand touched the doorknob, a dim voice suddenly rose in the quiet space: "He is not dead." I turned around almost instantly, stared at the back of his head and asked, "What did you say?" ”
He didn't look back, but closed his eyes, and just when I thought it was an auditory hallucination, the empty voice came again: "My soul is for his use, he gives birth to me, he dies I die, and since I am not dead, then he must not be dead." ”
I never thought that Zhuang Yu would say such a sentence when he opened his mouth, and it just hit the nail on the head. At the beginning, I watched Sheng Shiyao take his soul into it, even if he swallowed up the two souls, there was still a soul of Winning Hook, if Zhuang Yu was right, they were born and died together because of the unity of souls, then can I understand that the days when I didn't wait for him to come by Meng Po's side were not that his soul was scattered, but that he didn't actually die?
I looked up to the sky and smiled, and laughed and wept again.
In fact, I thought of a possibility, that is, Zhuang Yu and Jian Ning lied and lied to me at the same time, Zhuang Yu was true like a vegetative person for five years, but it was false that he didn't speak for half a year after waking up, and then when Jian Ning saw me coming, she was full of loneliness, and in the few minutes when she pushed Zhuang Yu into the room, she asked Zhuang Yu to lie to me, so that I didn't want to be desperate and cold, and still put a smile on the corner of my mouth. If so, I'd rather stay in this lie than wake up.
And I prefer to believe that Zhuang Yu is true, because only then will I have the motivation to continue walking.
Someone else's trip is to escape, to escape from a city, a memory. My journey is to seek, to find that heart city, that person.
I started a long journey, starting from Jiuzhaigou. The lost forest that once trapped us for a long time is now very easy, but it is a little lonely, because it is alone. But thinking that there are still Zhou Tong, Liuzi and Liu Yue's immortal cards in the bag, I don't feel lonely, and it can be regarded as taking them back to their hometown, but the leading core is missing.
Soon arrived at the green lake, the wind and waves are calm, the turquoise water, the scenery is still unique. There are no lake monsters, no ape monsters, and the passage along the way is quiet, and the lake surface does not even fluctuate at all. Under the ancient building, I looked up, many, many years ago, he also looked up at the ancient building by himself, so I found a common ground with him.
The old village was still the same, except that the last mansion had collapsed to the ground, and I stood there for a long time before turning around and entering the secret passage. After searching the blackpool and all the secret passages, I finally walked out of the hole on the hillside.
The second stop, Jinsha Ancient Town. Before leaving, I made a phone call home, which was promised to my grandmother and Aunt Mei before the trip, and I had to call home everywhere to keep in touch. Originally, I wanted to use my mobile phone, but when I thought of them, I still brought my mobile phone, after all, I am not a person who has nothing to worry about. Listening to my grandmother's careful instructions on the phone, Aunt Mei's worried inquiry, and the crunchy sound of the small stone, I was very relieved.
After that, I embarked on the desert road and came to the ancient town of Jinsha again. Unlike the previous time, Zhou Jing died, and he designed to lead us into the desert, although I didn't have the heart to deal with him at this time, but when I heard that he had been dead for several years, I was still a little embarrassed.
The desert is different from Jiuzhaigou, and a person who doesn't understand the habits of the desert basically has no return. So I stayed at the Guzhen Hotel for the time being, and waited until there was a passing team to join them. Coincidentally, this is another archaeological team, with archaeological experts and researchers. As for what monuments they want to go to the desert to investigate, I don't care, this desert is the original Silk Road, what Loulan ancient country, exquisite country, many small countries I don't know how many years ago were here, the ruins can be followed.
I followed them because I heard that the route was going through the Black Stone Forest, which was where I was going. Because I am an outsider, after I joined the team, I tried to be an invisible person, not to participate in their topics, and I was equipped with materials, and the burden on my shoulders was full of bulging. Sleeping at night is not like they make a special tent, just use a simple sleeping bag, anyway, wearing a jacket and a hat, it will not feel cold.
Counting the time, it has been more than six years since that "doomsday", and the so-called ability seems to be far away from me, and there is no more heat in the body inexplicably condensed, but this cold-free physique has been maintained. As for the self-defense weapon, it was prepared for me by my grandmother, it was a knife similar to the shadow moon, and I almost blurted out the word "shadow moon" at that time, but I knew if it was in my hand.
There is only one Shadow Moon in the world, and it shatters. Just as there is only one Sheng Shiyao in the world, he doesn't know where he is.
In the end, I still called the self-defense dagger Shadow Moon, which counted...... Remember. In the dead of night, everyone pulled up their tents and went to sleep, and I lay down under the stars, and took the shadow moon out again to carefully rub the lines on the hilt of the knife. It's hard for grandma, this knife was specially made by her, and the gem on the handle was replaced by a kind of zircon, because she was familiar with the former martial king blade, so the small patterns on it were simulated.
My thoughts drifted to the Black Stone Forest, and when I got there, I parted ways with the team, and how I entered the Soul City after that was a very troublesome question. It has been confirmed that we were able to escape into the magnetic space of the Soul City at the beginning, not because we fell into the quicksand and reached the bottom layer, but because of Sheng Shiyao's own induction with that space, or because of the special power exerted by Ying Long, who had become a demon god.
The only thing that can be connected to it now is the purple jade ring on the chest, but it should have no divine power for a long time, and I am afraid it will have no effect. (Omitted below)
