Chapter 162: Hanging

Yes, I came to this era to unlock the secrets of the Blood Rock Furnace, and if the Blood Rock Furnace disappeared, what would become of me? Will my consciousness be able to return to my original body without any problems? Even if you can go back, will you be able to survive the catastrophe of rejection where your life hangs by a thread?

But I've had realizations since I decided to make this conscious journey, and if my death alone can be exchanged for the end of this bloody furnace, it will be worth it!

Since you are not afraid of death, what are you afraid of life? Whatever fate had given me, I reached out and continued, at least compared to before I came here, I figured out a lot of things, and kept moving forward, and that was enough.

Conveniently, there is no need to say it, when I think so, Tao Zhihuan already knows it.

"Brother, can you promise me one thing." I said.

"What's the matter?"

"If one day my consciousness disappears, you can help me take good care of them."

“……”

Of course, now was not the time to make any big decisions, and I didn't wait for him to give me any promises, so I took the horse and went on the road.

Wearing the stars and the moon, the horse's hooves kicking, all the way went relatively smoothly, and when I saw the cliff of Weilong Pass from afar, the moon had not yet set, and the time was almost the same as I estimated.

I pulled the reins, slowed down, and said to Tao Zhihuan, "It's almost there, notify me if you want to stop." ”

The horses walked slowly forward, and I looked at the approaching mountains on either side and remembered the moment I had first arrived. I don't know what kind of opportunity made me come to this time and place, it's really amazing to think about it.

"This is it." After walking for more than ten minutes, Tao Zhihuan suddenly said.

I turned my head to take a closer look at the moonlight, and it seemed to be near the mountain I had run down when I woke up, and I immediately dismounted, tied the horse to the big tree next to it, and asked, "Which way are you going?" ”

"Forward...... Stop...... Turn right and go straight ahead...... Stop...... Here it is. He said this, and I walked away like a puppet as he said.

When I stopped, I noticed that there was a large rock in front of me, and this side of the road was a flat surface. At first glance, it really looks like a tombstone by moonlight.

I reached into my arms and took out the incense sticks and paper money that had been prepared long ago.

"I'm sorry, I don't know if you ancients have any special attention to the sacrifices, so I only brought these." I say.

"It's okay, I'm very grateful that you're willing to come."

This Tao Zhihuan is really kind, obviously it is my dove occupying the magpie's nest, and he is still polite to me.

According to the rules I knew, I lit the incense, faced the boulder, bowed respectfully, and then inserted the incense in front of the tombstone. After that, he picked up some branches, lit a fire, burned the paper money in his hand one by one, and silently prayed in his heart that the matter of the Blood Rock Furnace would be ended soon, so that the dead could rest in peace.

"Don't you want to know what happened? I'm telling you. "It's burning," Tao Zhihuan said.

As soon as he said this, I felt my heart tighten, as if I was being held tightly by something. I know very well that this is not my emotion, it is the wound in Tao Zhihuan's heart.

"When we got out of Weilong Mountain that day, we didn't know which way to go, so we could only stumble and walk aimlessly. Because my father was already seriously ill at that time, Lao Huang, a servant of the family, carried him on his back, and when he came to this vicinity, it was here on this big rock that we were all exhausted, so we could only stop and rest for a while.

After sitting for a while, we suddenly heard someone shouting, we turned our heads to see that it was Lao Huang shouting, at that time one of his arms had been cut off, bleeding profusely, and he was terrified, and it was ...... who caused him to be so seriously injured."

Tao Zhihuan said this, as if the tragic situation at that time had reappeared in front of him, and he was terrified! Otherwise, I wouldn't have started to feel like my legs were starting to tremble slightly.

"Who is it?" Unfortunately, I couldn't read his consciousness, so I had to ask him that.

"Yes...... Father! He hesitated, as if still unwilling to believe it.

"How so?" I was quite surprised! Not to mention that Old Man Tao had no reason to do this, his body was obviously very weak at the time, wasn't it, how could he still do such a thing?

The knife he was holding in his hand was taken from the weapon rack by Lao Huang when he left Weilong Mountain for self-defense, and he was taken away somehow. And the father at that time was no longer the father I knew, he stood there straight, his eyes blood-red, his whole body full of murderous energy, that look, almost like we were all his enemies!

We kept calling him, trying to bring him back to his senses, but in vain, and soon someone died by his sword. My mother tried her best to protect me, and I was also stabbed, I really wanted to protect them, but ...... But I can't help it...... I'm too powerless, too useless...... In the end, my mother pushed me desperately, told me to run away, and told me that as long as I was alive, there was still hope for the Tao family, and my mind was really blank at that time, so I could only listen to her, keep running, keep running......

When I couldn't run anymore, I realized that it was almost dawn, and I was afraid that the blood furnace would fail, so I buried it in the soil, and then I felt dizzy and collapsed, as if I was dead...... Maybe it's better to die than to die......"

Listening to Tao Zhihuan's unbearable memories, I only felt that my hands and feet were cold, and my hairs stood on end, and I didn't dare to imagine any pictures, for fear that I would accidentally fall into the abyss from which I would never recover!

I remember this feeling from the dream I had when I was in Weilong Mountain, and in the dream, I experienced a similar scene!

And when this fear slowly dissipated, the world in front of me turned into a blur, and when I reached out and wiped it, tears flowed uncontrollably, and the grief, remorse, helplessness, and despair that I could not help when I saw my loved ones die continued to stir in my heart, making me bend my knees and kneel on the ground and let out a loud cry of sorrow.

Tao Zhihuan thousands of years ago, Tao Yong thousands of years later, at this time, it is impossible to tell who these tears are coming from.

I don't know how long it took for my mood to slowly calm down, I sat down against the big tree and looked up, at this time the moon had set, the stars in the sky were clearly discerning, and they were clearly extinguished, quietly accompanying me.

"Go back, they'll be worried when it's late." Tao Zhihuan said.

"Hmm." I stood up, bowed to the boulder, and turned to the tree where the horse was tethered, intending to set out for my journey.

Suddenly, however, he heard a sound of a cry in the woods beside him.

I stopped and listened, and the strange sound seemed to disappear, but when I moved again, it sounded again, and it sounded like someone was following me in the woods!

"Who?" I took the moon out of my sleeve and held it in my hand, and looked intently into the woods, but the light was so dim that there were dark shadows everywhere that I couldn't tell where the sound was coming from.

I was hesitating, and with a "brush", it seemed that a figure flashed from a distance of seven or eight meters away from me!

"Who is it?!" I screamed as I rushed into the woods and chased after the man! (To be continued.) )
