Chapter Seventy-One: Dissipation
The mountains near the sea in Zhanzhou are tall and lush, and there are many places that the sun cannot reach, which is dark and damp, and ordinary people are reluctant to take the initiative to enter. For whoever goes deep into the miasma is not infected. Therefore, for the mountains near the sea, the people of Zhanzhou are secretive, and when it is mentioned, they are all called Yaoshan, because Yaoshan is the demon mountain.
There was a rustling sound from the wooden house, and in a few moments, the closed wooden door was gently pulled open by a bony hand.
I saw the pink peach blossoms brightly spreading on the branches, the fragrance of flowers wafting all over the valley, a gust of wind rose, the petals fell one after another, like flying butterflies, and like flying snow, beautiful lingering, there is a sense of straying into the peach blossom source written by Mr. Jingjie.
In the face of a scorching peach blossom, the look of vigilance on the man's pale face did not decrease by half a point. He blinked, looked around, and frowned slightly, because there was no breath in this huge valley.
"Dash...... Click......" A loud, clumsy footstep came from behind the house.
The man's expression froze, a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes, and when he subconsciously put his hand on the saber at his waist, he was empty.
At the same time, the man's heart chuckled, and at some point, the footsteps had come to his side.
"But you're looking for this broken sword?" A hoarse but strange voice that bordered on frightening sounded beside him.
The man was stunned, his hands had tightened unconsciously, and he was about to lift the breath in his body......
"Don't do such useless things...... Let's not say that you are seriously injured and have not healed, but you will fight me with your mortal body, but it is just an egg hitting a stone! ”
The man secretly gritted his teeth, his fingertips moved, and he slowly relaxed his tightened fist, and hesitated slightly before turning his head to look for prestige.
I saw a thin body covered by a black coat at the foot of the wooden house, with a black veil on his head hanging to the ground, and a thick black veil did not leak half of his face. His hands were as thin as dead bark and he held a bowl of pitch-black juice, his clean, round nails were white from overexertion, and his sword shone with cold light under his feet, but for some reason, there was a little sawdust above the cold light......
"In Xiajiangli, I don't know what the old man is called? And...... Why am I here? ”
The memory in his mind was still a sea of fire, and in the tongue of fire, he was not burned to ashes. And, for some reason, there are many strange feelings in my heart, a new feeling.
"Old Man's ......"
The veil hanging on the ground trembled slightly, and the old man's leaning body was a little unstable, and he muttered something in his mouth.
"Haha......" A strange laugh came from the old man's mouth. Yes, now that I look like this, I can really afford your old man......"
Looking at the strange old man, Jiang was stunned for a moment, but his face was still calm, and he looked at the old man with a blank look.
"If the title is rude, I hope the old man will advise, I don't know what the old man's honorific name is?"
"You call Jiang Li?" The old man ignored Jiang Li's question.
"Yes! But the old man was saved? ”
"So what?"
Although the old man's black veil covered his face, Jiang Li could still feel the scorching gaze behind the veil, he frowned puzzledly, and said lightly:
"There is no way to repay the grace of saving lives, only things outside the body......"
"What is the use of me to ask for the yellow and white things? Life doesn't bring death and you can't go, but ......"
Jiang Li looked at the old man who was getting closer and closer, and suddenly a breeze blew on his face, and there was a flutter of graceful epiphany floating on his nose, and his heart was suffocated, and the strange feelings in his heart became more and more intense.
"It's bleak here, and there hasn't been half a living soul in hundreds of years, if you want to repay me for saving my life like this, how about staying!"
Jiang Li lowered his eyes and looked at the old man who was as tall as his shoulders, and a promise was already in his throat, just.
"The fate of this life is no longer up to the next decision, and it is really ...... to live up to the expectations of the old man."
"Your life ......" The old man suddenly raised his head, looked straight at Jiang Li, and said with a smile:
"You can't decide what your life is! Whenever you have it, is this the only thing that comes out of your mouth to prevaricate me? ”
Looking at the old man's inexplicable words, although Jiang was strange, his face was still flat. "This is not a reason for prevarication, I grew up in the hook column since I was a child, if I had to help the queen mother, I would have died at the hands of the turtle slave, so I ......"
Jiang Li gently took the wooden bowl that the old man was holding tightly, and said with a little helplessness: "If the old man thinks it is cold here, he can go back to Jin next time, and he will treat you well in the next place to repay you for saving your life." ”
The old man's hand holding the bowl was still in mid-air, and she looked at her hand like dead bark, and the desolation in her heart seemed to gush out, and she bit her lip tightly, and the force was so great that her mouth was full of blood.
"If you don't want to leave your homeland, if I have time in the future, I'll come back to see you often, how about that?"
"Hehe......" The old man shook his head, his voice trembling a little, "I don't know, I don't know." ”
As he spoke, the old man's skinny hand gently stroked the veil, and the scar with distinct furrows seemed to be obvious, reaching the touch of the fingertips.
"Your injuries are no longer serious, drink this bowl of medicine, you can leave quickly!" After saying this, the old man seemed to have exhausted all his strength, and turned his body stiffly.
"Old man, but do you know each other?" Listening to the old man's words, Jiang Wei was very strange.
"I don't know" the old man didn't look back, so he replied categorically.
"......"
"No, but! This is not a place for mortals like you to stay, if you spare your life, leave quickly! ”
Listening to the old man's words without hesitation, Jiang Wei's doubts were even stronger, just looking at the indifferent back, the strange feeling in his heart was surging, and he seemed to ask extremely unintentionally.
"I've been a cold-hearted person since I was a child, and everyone who knows me says I'm as cold as a stone, but, why, after I woke up, I ......"
"I'm just going to get rid of your dead air."
"Dead air?"
"In your previous life, you made a terrible mistake, you were punished in the Mirror Hell, and your life was not dispersed after the completion of your sentence, covering your anger, so no matter who you face or what kind of situation, it can't touch your heartstrings......"
As he spoke, the old man clenched his hands tightly, his knuckles turned white, and he seemed to crush his palms with all his might, but he still couldn't control the nostalgia and hatred for the person behind him.
"Big mistake?" Jiang Li pursed his lips tightly, and was speechless for a long time before he slowly asked.
"Yes, what a mistake!" The loose and drooping flesh on the old man's face was shaking slightly.
"You bear the name of God in vain, and because of your own thoughts, you have caused a person's heart to be broken and his soul destroyed!"
Jiang Li frowned in confusion and asked with some hesitation: "That person, but someone you know well?" ”
"Haha......" The old man burst out laughing, but the shrill laughter was so unsettling, as if whimpering, as if relieved, as if he was just laughing.
"Who am I to be angry with you and hate you! If it weren't for me, Nanke wouldn't have died! ”
Looking at the old man crying and laughing in front of him, Jiang Li frowned and thought for a while, and asked, "Do you know my past life?" ”
"I don't know!" Broke off with a drink, categorically, without hesitation.
It's just that, when Jiang Li heard it, it really confirmed what he thought in his heart, and continued to ask: "In that case, why did you save me, and also eliminate the dead qi from my body......
"Save you? Wouldn't it be too cheap for you to let you die like this! The old man turned his head sharply, and there was a hint of stinging laughter in his voice.
"The mortal world is a catastrophe for you to return to the divine throne, if you want to atone for your sins, give me a good life!" The old man suddenly grabbed Jiang Li's collar and tried his best to calm his voice.
"As for the elimination of dead air, a cold stone has no reaction in the face of great pain and sorrow, so there is no atonement. Now, you will feel the seven sufferings of the world, birth, old age, sickness, death, resentment, love and parting, and you can't ask for ......"
Looking at the hand on the collar, Jiang Li was slightly stunned, and the person in front of him seemed to have suddenly turned into a red-clothed woman, staring at him condescendingly.
"Langfeng, when you look at me, are you really just empty-eyed!"
Jiang Li blinked his eyes, and the fiery red in front of him had disappeared, but he was inexplicably recalling the inexplicable words in his ears.
He drank the medicinal juice in his hand, and the bitterness in it instantly spread on the tip of his tongue, and he was a little sober.
"I don't remember who I was in my previous life, or what great evil I did. If any of them hurts the elderly, I can only ...... here."
"If you're really grateful to me, get out of here!" As if he had just reacted, the old man suddenly let go of the hand that was holding Jiang Li's collar.
"Smack"
Suddenly, there was a loud noise from the north side of the valley, stirring up gusts of wind and a rain of flowers.
The familiar aura that came from under the fluctuations of the enchantment, the old man was stunned for a moment, his body trembled a little imperceptibly for a while, and with a flick of his sleeves, a blue light flew out, heading straight for the place where the movement was.
After a few fights, the movement had disappeared, and the wind within the barrier gradually stopped. Looking at the petals that fell to the ground, the old man was about to exhale, but a strange look came from his side.
Under the strong wind, the veil revealed a hole at some point, faintly visible, and on the smooth jawline, the scars of the ravines were like pink flesh worms, entrenched on the pale face. Jiang Li saw it suddenly, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, although it was fleeting, he was still seen by the old man.
The old man pulled the veil, covered his face tightly with trembling hands, and screamed, "Get out! ”
"Just now, I ......" Jiang Li looked at the traces of mist on the black veil, and his heart trembled imperceptibly.
"Get out! If you don't leave, don't blame me for being rude! The old man's footsteps kept retreating, and suddenly he raised his hand, and a hot blue light rose.
"Old Man's ......"
"Shut up!"
Under the sharp sound, the blue light in his hand was already rushing out, the old man was stunned, and subconsciously took back the blue light, but after all, it still hurt Jiang Li.
"Langfeng!" A poignant and self-reproachful voice resounded throughout the valley.
Jiang Li covered his arms, only to feel a burst of scorching heat in his hand, and suddenly heard a terrible sound, a flower in front of him, he raised his eyes to see, the scorching scorching splendor had disappeared, and there were bustling pedestrians around him, because of his sudden appearance, he was pointing curiously.
Jiang Li turned a deaf ear, and in a trance, he walked past the onlookers, unable to distinguish whether the surging emotions in his heart were joy, anger or hatred.
He gently pulled up the sleeve of his arm, and saw that the crescent-shaped wound was glowing with blue light......
