Chapter 182: A Hurdle in My Heart
My mind, which was already clear, was chaotic with what had fallen from the tree. When the mass fell, it was suspended by a rope and hung a meter or two above the ground, shaking gently. The cries and bitter outpouring were cut off, and everything seemed to disappear in front of me, except for the shaking mass.
I raised my head slightly, and what I saw was Yi Tian's lifeless face, her head was slightly tilted, her eyes were round, and she seemed to be silently staring at me, but those eyes were hollow and godless, and there was no trace of agility and vitality.
Her body was hanging from the rope, swaying slightly, she looked so thin, so helpless, hanging in front of me. She must have been dead for more than a day or two, although her body had begun to decay in this season that had not yet warmed up. There were a few wisps of blood that had completely dried up and blackened from the corners of her mouth. Under the motionless eyes, there seemed to be blood-stained tears still dripping slightly.
I involuntarily took a step back, not daring, and not wanting to believe that this was true. My mind is full of the scene when I first met Yi Tian, and my mind is full of her sweet and innocent smile. I forgot that she had hurt me, that she had stabbed me in the back.
This woman is destined not to belong to me, whether she lives or dies. But there are certain things she gave me that no one can replace. What she gives is the first budding and nostalgia of a young and ignorant teenager with emotions.
I guess I really can't forget the smile she left in my mind.
Gou Banxian's divination is true, she is dead, and no one can save her. At this moment, I believed in the results of the divination, and she died.
I completely forgot about my surroundings, and there were no tears in my eyes, because the tears that were going to be shed for her, had already dried. I slowly stretched out my hand, tentatively, and touched Yi Tian's hanging hand little by little. Her hands were open, cold, stiff, without any temperature, and the coldness instantly eroded my whole body, shivering with cold.
Suddenly, deep in the forest, a sound like the wind sweeping the treetops interrupted my train of thought, the teeth in my chest were still beating gently, I had completely regained my senses, and when I looked back, the white Buddha light that sprouted before was gone, only a lamp like a bean kept moving and jumping. I was shocked, and immediately thought of Maitreya and Jin Dashao, there was no other choice, Yi Tian was dead, definitely dead, I had an indescribable sadness, but I couldn't leave my companion.
I gritted my teeth, turned around and ran deeper into the woods, I knew that there must be something dirty nearby, and as I ran, I could feel a pair of lifeless eyes under the crust of the earth, and among the layers of decay and fallen leaves that had accumulated for an unknown number of years. But at this moment, my whole person is like a huge magic weapon to ward off evil spirits, and nothing dares to approach. I ran very fast, as I imagined, the so-called Buddha light, Buddha name, and Buddha shadow, were all non-existent, and I could see a hunched old woman standing in front of the forest with a small lamp in her hand. As I approached, the old woman raised her head slightly, her face completely rotten, and a tingling sound in her throat.
Jin Dashao and Maitreya are completely in a desperate situation, this kind of old forest is inaccessible, the climate by the river has always been very humid, some mud pits are covered with water and leaves and mud for a long time, like a small swamp, stepping on the crust of the soil will fall in, normal people unfortunately stumble, there is still room for escape, but for people who have lost their minds, it will definitely be fatal. Maitreya was stuck in a mess of mud, no longer up to his waist, and he was still stunned, only occasionally shaking his arms. On the other side, Jin Dashao untied his trouser belt and tied it to a branch, and his head had been completely drilled in.
I don't care about the old woman with a rotten face, it's just a puppet, I believe there is a mastermind nearby, so I just want to save people first. I ran to the mud puddle with my feet up, grabbed Maitreya by the collar, and pulled it upwards with all my might. The rotten old woman gurgled a few times in her throat, and the bean-like lamp in her hand suddenly burst into flames, and Maitreya shook and tried to break out of my hand. His body twisted one after another, his head was about to stick into the mud puddle, and on the other side, the stone that Jin Dashao was stepping on was kicked over, and the whole person was hung to the branch of the tree with his neck on his neck, and his hands and feet were pumped wildly.
"Come out!" With a strong pair of hands, I dragged Maitreya out of the mud puddle, threw him aside, and then ran a few more steps, took out a knife and cut the rope around Jin Dashao's neck.
The oil lamp in the old woman's hand was still beating strangely, and every time the flame jumped, Maitreya and Jin Dashao on the ground would shake. I'm completely anxious, and if I don't clean up this rotten old woman, things may not settle down. I shook my body, and the Zhenhe mirror and teeth on my chest were all exposed, and the bronze mirror and teeth refracted a little faint light, just such a little light, which had forced the rotten old woman back several steps.
"Die!" I pulled away and rushed over, and swept with a stick, and the rotten old woman's body was strangely folded at ninety degrees, as if the whole waist bone had been broken, and I dodged the stick, and then I picked up the small lamp and turned around to run.
I chased after it, such a ghostly thing, as long as there is the magic weapon of the sun, there is not much danger, I rushed a few times, caught up with the old woman, a stick fell from the top of the head, its already rotten head was suddenly smashed, I picked up the Zhenhe mirror, covered its body, smashed the mutilated body with stones, the bones broke one by one, and the small lamp on the ground finally went out.
When I turned my head, several wriggling shadows on the ground were trying to drag Maitreya and Jin Dashao into the mud puddle, and I ran over, and the wriggling shadows scattered like mice seeing cats. The two of them were unconscious, and I didn't want to stay here long, so I dragged one in one hand, turned and ran out of the woods.
Running back to the edge of the forest in one go, I froze again, put the two of them on the ground, and rubbed my eyes vigorously. I rushed into the forest to save Maitreya and Jin Dashao, and in the middle of the most seven or eight minutes, in these seven or eight minutes, Yi Tian, who was hanging from the tree, disappeared.
The rope was still on the branch, shaking gently, but Yi Tian was nowhere to be found. I can't say whether I was confused or surprised, Yi Tian died, everything between me and her will dissipate, I don't have any other thoughts, I just want to bury her well.
But what about Yitian's corpse?
I glanced left and right, although I couldn't let go of it in my heart, but after all, it was a dead person, I couldn't delay Maitreya and Jin Dashao for her, this place definitely couldn't stay for a long time, I became more and more uneasy, bent down and lifted the two of them up again, and wanted to leave.
"Alas"
A soft sigh drifted from behind to your ears. As soon as I turned around suddenly, I saw Yi Tian walking out slowly from behind the big tree. Her face and hands, still tinged with corruption, her eyes still wide but hollow, walked out step by step, approaching me.
At that moment, I even had some doubts, which led to wariness and even suspicion. Is Yi Tian dead? Her body was hanging from the tree, but there were too many methods in the side door and the holy realm, she walked slowly but steadily, step by step, my mind was confused, I really couldn't tell if she was dead.
"Stop!" I was really panicked in my heart, Maitreya and Jin Dashao were both unconscious, and I was not sure that I could protect the two of them if something happened.
"Are you afraid?" Yi Tian stood a few meters away from me, and her voice made me feel familiar, the kind of voice that I had heard several times before and after: "Do you know who I am?" ”
As he spoke, Yi Tian's lifeless eyes suddenly rolled, and as soon as the person died, the eyeballs began to wither and dry. There was a string of yellow and green corpse water in her eyes, but between the flips of her eyelids, a pair of pupils appeared.
Seeing the heavy pupils, and listening to the voice that is neither yin nor yang, there is no longer any doubt, Yi Tian, she is the head of the side door? The side door handle who has been sitting in a yin-yang sedan chair and always has a mask on his face? I remember the last time I saw someone who looked like me, the sedan chair with the head handle also appeared.
Is she dead after all? Still is?
"I'm nothing to be afraid of."
"What are you thinking?" Yi Tian stood in place, I couldn't see any expression on her face, the face that was beginning to rot was all a dead ash, and she didn't even move her mouth: "Are you thinking, am I dead or alive?" ”
"What does it matter if you're dead, or or?" I kept observing the movement around me, and all the sounds stopped, and the sound of the wind, the rustling in the woods, disappeared without a trace, and only the conversations between each other floated.
"Really?" Yi Tian shook his head and said, "Heavy pupils, I don't believe you don't hurt, you're not afraid, you can't forget me, right?" ”
"From the moment you stabbed me in the back, I've begun to forget."
"No, no, you can't forget, Chen Jinshui is an amorous seed." Yi Tian had no expression, but his tone seemed to be really smiling, and that tone made people feel creepy: "If you can't let go of me, you can't cross that hurdle in your heart." ”
Yi Tian said slowly, suddenly raised her hand, and touched her eyes along her face, her fingers were already partially rotten, and the white phalanges were exposed under the rotten flesh, and her fingertips touched back and forth next to her eyes, and they were inserted into the eye sockets at once, and an eyeball was pulled out.
