Chapter 130: Reason to Live (Finale)
A few of our faces changed suddenly, and Tan Yaokun stepped back, "There's something in this mist!" Fast! Come on!! ”
At this time, the only four guys left in the Tan family couldn't take care of us anymore, so they turned around and ran away with their bald heads. We didn't dare to hesitate, spread our legs and ran wildly together.
The fog behind it spread quickly, and there seemed to be a strange noise mixed with it, like the sound of a gale whimpering.
Suddenly, I heard a plop in my ears, and a Tan guy fell to the ground. One of the people next to him wanted to help him. But after such a delay, the fog behind swept in and engulfed the two of them. We turned our heads as we ran, but the two men never came out of the fog again.
"Holy!!" The bald head shouted their names a few times, and no one responded at all! The bald head jumped like thunder, and there was nowhere to be angry, so he even pointed the gun at Tan Yaokun, "You eat things inside and out, are you the one who harmed me!" ”
Tan Yaokun glanced at him as he ran, "Are you crazy!! Aren't I running for my life!! ”
I bent down to pick up a rock while people were running unprepared, and held it tightly in my hand to prevent the bald dog from jumping off the wall!
Running and running, I suddenly felt that something was not right, the footsteps around seemed to be more than just now, I quickly raised the flashlight to the side, but before I could turn my head, a person suddenly appeared behind me, and before I could react, he pulled me aside and covered my mouth, I desperately wanted to struggle, then he whispered in my ear, "Don't move, it's me, Tian Laosi!" ”
As soon as I heard the voice, it was indeed Tian Laosi, so I stopped struggling. At the same time, the others were also stopped by the Yuan family's buddies. The bald head sensed that something was wrong and turned his head, only to find that several muzzles had been pointed at him.
One of the Tan guys wanted to resist, and just as he wanted to shoot, he was knocked to the ground by a shot by the Yuan family's guys, and the remaining Tan guys quickly put the gun on the ground.
The bald head saw that it was Tian Laosi, and suddenly looked a little angry, "Tian Laosi, what do you mean by this?" Don't deceive people from your Yuan family too much! ”
Tian Laosi sneered, "Am I deceiving people too much? I tell you, I am saving you. I know who told you this route, and I also tell you, if you go down your route, none of you will survive! ”
"You talk nonsense!!" The bald head yelled, "You want to lie to me? ”
Tian Laosi shook his head, "You are just being used by him, just like you used your Tan family twenty years ago!" ”
"What!" As soon as Tan Yaokun heard this, he immediately jumped up and rushed to Tian Laosi, "What did you say?" What happened twenty years ago? Who harmed our Tan family? ”
Tian Laosi looked at the fog that was getting closer and closer behind us, "Okay, there's no time to say, you'll naturally know when the time comes." Now if you want to live, keep up! With that, he ran forward.
We immediately followed, and the bald head hesitated for a moment, and followed with someone else.
We went all the way forward, and soon arrived at the gate of the underground royal city of the ancient kingdom of Shan Huan, the huge city gate still brought people incomparably shocking, especially the human skins on it, which made me feel creepy, and my scalp was numb for a while.
We did not approach the stone gate, but came to the wall on the side of the stone gate. At this point, a rope had hung down from above.
I grabbed the rope and climbed up, and when I was about to reach the top, a hand came out of it and pulled me up.
I stood still, looked at it and couldn't help but exclaim, "Second uncle!! ”
The second uncle was very happy to see me, and patted me with a smile, "Eldest nephew, how are you?" ”
I smiled bitterly, "Second uncle, don't mention it, I'm ......" I choked up before I finished speaking, "Second uncle, am I dying?" ”
The second uncle looked at me, and his eyes instantly turned red, "Silly boy, don't talk nonsense, with your second uncle here, you can still have an accident?!" ”
"But......" I still wanted to say something, but I didn't know how to say it, "Second uncle, can you really save me?" ”
"Of course!" The second uncle squeezed my shoulder hard, "If I can't save you, won't your second uncle be busy all these years!" ”
When the second uncle said this, my heart was a little more comfortable.
The second uncle turned around and looked at the Lantern Festival that came with me, Kong Xue still had glasses, "Thank you for accompanying Zhuo Ran here, it is his blessing that Zhuo Ran can meet you people!" ”
Lantern Xiao waved his hand, "Second uncle, don't say that." If something happens to me, Zhuo Ran will definitely accompany me. ”
The second uncle smiled and nodded, "The road below needs Zhuo Ran to go by himself, and An Ye and I will accompany him, so you can wait here." ”
Kong Xue was a little anxious when she heard this, "Second uncle, we have arrived here, you can let me accompany Zhuo Ran." ”
"yes!" Lantern Xiao also nodded again and again, "Second uncle, if there is any danger, we can still help!" ”
The second uncle shook his head, "I don't mean anything else, it's more special down here." Once it is affected, I am afraid that it will also become Zhuo Ran, you are still young, so just leave these to the two of us old guys. Especially you," said the second uncle who turned his head and looked at Kong Xue with a smile, "Girl, if Zhuo Ran recovers, don't you want to be together for a longer time?" ”
Kong Xue was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
Tan Yaokun looked at the second uncle and stopped talking, and the second uncle looked at him, "You are still so persistent, what if you can't take revenge back then?" ”
Tan Yaokun gritted his teeth, "Then I won't be blind!" The second uncle sighed and shook his head.
Although I was extremely nervous at this time, I still pretended to be relaxed and said to them, "Okay, you can wait here for my good news." After speaking, I walked to Kong Xue's side, but before I could speak, Kong Xue hugged me, "Anyway, I'm just waiting for you to come back here!" ”
I smiled and stroked her hair, "Don't worry! ”
"Dude, come back early, I'll invite you to drink when you go back! And take you to drink bean juice! Lantern Xiao said as she stretched out her hand to me.
I shook Lantern Xiao's hand hard.
After that, I said hello to the others, and then followed the second uncle and Yuan An towards the bottom of the city wall.
We walked down the stone steps, and when we walked out, we saw the huge Nine Cliffs in front of us.
Standing in front of it, except for the stone walls of the city wall behind it, there was darkness everywhere in front of it. Here, the flashlight is useless, and the light shines into it, and it will soon be swallowed up.
Nietzsche famous, "When you stare into the abyss, the abyss stares at you." "We don't want to dissect its deeper meaning, this sentence alone is extremely appropriate here, I stood on the edge of the Nine Shadows Cliff, and found that I only had to stare at it for a while, and I felt the urge to jump.
I hurriedly closed my eyes to calm myself down and not think about it.
There are many stone steps on the cliff face, and the stone steps continue down into the endless darkness.
Yuan An looked at me, "How is it?" You ready? ”
I took a deep breath and nodded.
So the three of us stepped on the stone steps and walked towards the depths of the Nine Shadows Cliff. The three of us didn't say a word, and just kept walking down.
Gradually, I felt that I had blended into a black space. There is no end to the road under my feet, there is nothing around but darkness, only darkness.
Then I began to feel a burst of suffocation, the black seemed to materialize, it turned into a thick liquid pouring into my body, my mouth and nose were blocked, and I couldn't breathe.
This feeling made me panic and I couldn't help but shout, "Help! ”
The second uncle hurriedly patted me in the back, "Big nephew! ”
I suddenly came to my senses, gasping for breath in shock, "What happened just now, how do I feel that ......?"
Yuan An turned his head to me and said, "You have to look down at your feet, don't look around, in fact, there is darkness and light here." ”
"Light?" I held up my flashlight, "Flashlight?" ”
"No," Yuan An shook his head and continued to walk forward.
We didn't know how long we had walked forward, and the stone steps had finally come to an end, at this time, I was surprised to find that I could see things clearly in front of me without the help of the light of the flashlight.
I wandered for a moment, and suddenly I noticed something, and I seemed to hear movement behind us.
I told my second uncle about this discovery, but the second uncle said, "It's okay, don't worry about him, keep going." ”
I didn't ask much. At the end of the stone steps I found a protruding platform with two people standing on the platform. I could tell at a glance that one of them was Wen Mo, and the person opposite him was wearing a robe and half-covering his face, it was Wen Ruihong, who had been missing for many days.
Hearing us coming, Wen Ruihong turned his head to look at us, and then smiled, "Sure enough, everyone who should come is here!" ”
The second uncle said to him, "Take off your mask, what's the point at this time?" ”
"Haha," Wen Ruihong laughed, "That's right." As he spoke, he reached out and tore off his robe, revealing his true colors. These two people are worthy of being uncles and nephews, Wen Ruihong and Wen Mo's appearance is quite similar, I think Wen Mo will probably look like this when he gets old in the future.
Wen Ruihong looked at my second uncle, "Did you bring anything?" ”
The second uncle nodded and took out a cloth bag from his arms, "What about yours?" ”
Wen Ruihong took out a wooden box, and when he opened it, the inside flashed. But before I could see it clearly, Wen Ruihong re-closed the lid, and he suddenly snorted lightly, "Those who should come are here, and those who shouldn't be here are here?" After speaking, he turned his head to look at the darkness behind us, and I looked back curiously, and saw a figure slowly appearing, it was Tan Yaokun! It turned out that he had been following us all along, and it was him who I had just heard. Second uncle, they should have known for a long time!
Tan Yaokun looked at Wen Ruihong coldly, "Why is this thing in your hands!" This was originally my father's! ”
Wen Ruihong sneered, "Without me, how could he get it?!" Now it's just a matter of returning things to their rightful owners! ”
"You killed my father!!" Tan Yaokun roared angrily.
Wen Ruihong looked at him calmly and did not speak. Tan Yaokun took out a gun from his pocket, "I'm going to avenge my father now!" ”
"Calm down!" The second uncle hurriedly stepped forward to stop Tan Yaokun, "You can't kill him yet!" ”
"Why!!" Tan Yaokun is crazy, "I've been looking for him for twenty years!" The reason I lived was to kill him one day!! "Once a person's hatred is ignited, it will explode in an instant and cannot be contained.
Wen Ruihong didn't seem to care, and reached out to take out the wooden box again, "For this, even if you all die, you won't hesitate!" Before the words fell, I suddenly saw a cold light flashing on Wen Ruihong's hand. I hurriedly shouted, "Be careful! ”
And at that moment, a cold light flashed in the air, and before I could see it, at the same time, the gunshots rang out.
In an instant, there was chaos in front of my eyes. I hurriedly rushed in the direction of my second uncle, but I had just run two steps when I suddenly felt a pain in my shoulder, and I looked down to see that a steel needle was nailed here.
I cursed! I hurried to find Wen Ruihong, but Wenmo rushed to me, and before I could say anything, he stuffed something into my hand.
I looked down and saw that it was the wooden box in Wen Ruihong's hand just now, "Boss, this is ......"
But before I finished speaking, Wenmo grabbed my clothes and threw me off the platform with a hard throw. I was stunned, I never thought that the person who threw me into the bottomless abyss would be Wenmo.
As I got farther and farther away from the platform, two more gunshots rang out, and I couldn't hear the others, and I was already in the dark.
I kept wondering what it was like to fall to death. Or I fell into the underground river and drowned, or is it possible, I fell directly into the underground magma and died. It's just that what makes me puzzled is, why did it kill me Wenmo?
I closed my eyes and waited for death to come, but after a moment, I felt the presence of light. I hurriedly opened my eyes, only to find that I didn't know when, it was already still.
I looked down and saw that the light was coming from below. I saw that there was a big tree there, and the light emanated from that tree.
Suddenly, a desire surged in my heart to get close to it. But I found that I couldn't move at all. I swiped my arm hard, but to no avail, the wound on my shoulder hurt sharply.
I looked at the steel needle on my shoulder, reached out and pulled it out with force. As soon as the needle left my body, blood splattered out.
Strange to say, the blood slowly fell, and so did I, until I came to the side of the big tree.
I looked at everything in front of me in disbelief, I couldn't believe there would be a tree in such a place.
There was some fruit on the tree, and when I looked closely, I was surprised to see that it was Uznamu. Only then did I realize that this was the legendary sacred tree Uznamu Sacred Tree! An ancient tree of Uznamu alive! I suddenly had a feeling of worship. Next to the sacred tree was a clear spring, the shallow water was crystal clear, and when I looked down, it was strange that my shadow could not be seen at all.
I looked around and found that behind the tree, there was a sarcophagus, the sarcophagus was simple and quiet, without any carvings, it gave me a sense of naturalness. There are some natural textures on it, and it looks like nine dragons surround it. It's just that a part of it is missing.
I stared at the sarcophagus in a daze, and felt that it seemed to have a sense of déjà vu, and it looked very much like the Nine Dragons Heavenly Coffin in the depths of Qilian Mountain!
I was going to go up and find out, but suddenly I found a man between the sarcophagus and the sacred tree.
I was taken aback, I didn't expect that there was a second person besides me, and I looked over carefully, and saw that it seemed to be a child, lying on the ground.
Child? How could there be a child, I slowly walked to the child's side, but when I saw the child's face, my brain buzzed, and I took two steps back and fell to the ground. That is clearly my face, and that child is clearly myself!!
I trembled my hand to probe the child's snort, only to find that he was already dead.
I sat on the floor for a long time, and then I remembered what Wenmo had given me, so I slowly reached out and pulled it out. There was a clear piece of amber in the wooden box, and I was shocked that something was flowing in the amber. I thought it was water, but when I looked closer, I saw that there looked like two bugs dancing back and forth. But I looked at it for a while before I finally understood. In fact, there is only one worm in this amber.
There is no air in the amber, and the flying insect dies instantly, but the moment it dies, a new flying insect is immediately copied out of thin air, and the copied flying insect will die immediately, but then a new flying insect appears, and the cycle repeats itself, endlessly.
This should be the miraculous treasure that the old lama said, that is, the embodiment of that power.
Seeing this scene, a thunderbolt flashed in my mind in an instant, and I felt my whole body suddenly become cold, and I understand it now, completely. I finally know who I am, Zhuo Ran is Zhuo Chengyang, and Zhuo Chengyang was dead when he was six years old, his body is here, and I am just Zhuo Ran, a replica!
My mind was instantly confused, and I sat down with a daze leaning on the Uznamu Sacred Tree, not knowing how long I had been sitting. Maybe it's a few hours, maybe it's a few days.
I kept thinking about the question of whether I was a human or a monster! What's the difference between me and those faceless monsters? I came here full of hope to find a way to live, but when I figured out the truth, I lost the reason to live!! Or my own existence is lacking in reason.
I suddenly felt so beautiful here, and I understood why I was so eager to come here, because I belonged here!
I sat like this, my heart empty, I don't know if it was a stagnant heart or a dead heart.
I looked up, but found that there seemed to be a point of light in the deep and endless darkness, but it was too far away from me to see clearly, and its outline looked like a palace. I think I'm a little out of my mind......
Suddenly, something fell from it, and I got up in surprise to see that it was the second uncle's cloth bag. I opened it and saw that it was a stone, I thought about it for a moment, and then I took it and turned back to the side of the sarcophagus, and I put it in the missing part of the sarcophagus, and sure enough, it was exactly the same.
And just after I completed the sarcophagus, the light from the Uznamu Sacred Tree spread out.
At the same time, the amber in my hand suddenly dissipated, and a golden flying insect flew out of it and landed on the sarcophagus, and the texture on the sarcophagus suddenly became clear.
Suddenly, I remembered what the old lama said to me, "Break and then stand, and die and then live." ”
The Uznamu sacred tree is the power of life, and the sarcophagus is the beginning of death. According to the old lama, there is a greater and more mysterious force behind them that supports their existence, and what should I do?
I looked at the cloth bag in my hand, and thought of my second uncle, my parents, Lantern Festival, Kong Xue, Wenmo, and ...... I think I found the answer.
I probably had the lid of the sarcophagus and lay down in it. A white light enveloped me, and I suddenly found myself a bystander, and all my previous experiences began to flash back before my eyes. Eventually, a six-year-old's childish face appeared in front of my eyes.
I woke up suddenly, the white light was gone, and I didn't know what that meant.
I hesitated for a while, and slowly climbed out of the coffin, but I found that I don't know why the sarcophagus was so much bigger, not only that, but the Uznamu sacred tree outside had also disappeared, and it was dark in front of my eyes.
I was stunned, what is the situation? Where did the sacred tree go?
I touched my waist, fortunately the flashlight was still there, I turned on the flashlight and looked around, suddenly everything around me changed, this is not where I was just now. I looked around and found myself standing on a stone platform next to a huge Nine Dragons Coffin, a glowing river of Styx flowing underneath the platform.
My whole body immediately hit a wit, and I couldn't help but call softly, "This, this is Qilian Mountain!! How did I get here!! ”
As I spoke, a huge object poked out from under the platform, and two blood-red eyes stared at me in the air.
Serpent !! I screamed, turned and ran.
Fortunately, I still have some impressions of being here before, and I ran directly back to the plank road on the stone wall along the crack, and I heard a loud noise behind me, and even the mountain shook.
I looked back and saw that the serpent was already in pursuit. I ran down the boardwalk like crazy. Suddenly, there was an explosion ahead, and several flashlights appeared.
I covered my eyes with my hands and looked forward, and a person rushed to me quickly, and I fixed my eyes to see that it was Lantern Festival, and behind him were glasses.
Lantern Xiao grabbed me, "Let's go!" The front is the exit!! ”
"Why are you here?" I asked curiously.
"The boss asked us to come and pick you up, but fortunately it's not too late!" As he spoke, Lantern Xiao fired several shots in the back of me.
A few of us turned around and ran towards the exit, and when I saw the bright sunlight shining through, I screamed and rushed out......
