Chapter 14: Life or Death?

In the early morning of the next day, a group of three people walked on the path in the forest, and wisps of slanting sun fell on the ground scatteredly, and the girl's silver bell-like laughter added a bit of color.

"Shen.... Shilan, why isn't your eldest brother here?"

"Well, I was originally running out to play, but I didn't expect it.... But fortunately, Childe saved us, and my brother left first if he still had something to do. The girl grimaced and spat out her little clove tongue.

"Can I ask you a question?" asked the girl, a little shyly.

"Haha, you ask, as long as you know. "At this time, I was thinking about it.

"Don't be angry! Why are you wearing a black mask?"

"Oh, do you say this?" touched the mask on his face for some time, "Well, I can answer you this question, but you have to promise me a request, don't call me 'Childe' in the future, just call me Yuntian." “

"Got it, Childe... Brother Yuntian.. Ah!" A blush crept up the girl's face, a slender hand covered her red lips, and a small hand kept waving. No... Yuntian Gongzi... Yuntian!"

"It's okay, it's good to call Brother Yuntian, haha. “

"Don't!" muttered the girl.

"Actually, it's nothing, it's just that I have marks on my face, which are too ugly, and I'm afraid that others will scare people when they see it, so it's better to wear a mask. "When I think of the black characters on my face, I am sometimes startled, so it's better not to come out and be scared.

"Cloud.. Yuntian, can I take a look?" the girl was obviously a little unconvinced.

I looked at her suspiciously, and then the old man said:

"Boy, show her nothing, there won't be a piece of meat. “

Seeing that Shilan looked a little expectant, I had no choice but to reach out and take off the mask on my face, brushed my somewhat messy hair, and looked at the girl on my left. At this time, the girl's apricot eyes were wide open, her red lips were slightly raised, and her small jade nose was fanning from time to time, looking at me in a daze, and she was a little distracted for a while.

"Little Nizi, come back to your senses! I really don't know how many good girls you stinky boy will harm in the future. The old man called out and muttered to himself.

"Ahh When they looked into my eyes, they were like frightened rabbits, and they began to dodge.

This situation made me a little confused, knowing that my face was a little scary, but how to make her react this way?

"Shilan, are you okay? "Just about to put the mask back on.

"Don't!" suddenly the girl grabbed my arm.

"Hmm, what's wrong?" I was a little puzzled.

The girl said timidly:

"So... Endure.. Good-looking. “

"Stinky boy, don't you find something to take a picture of yourself?"

"Uh, mirror, where do I have a mirror? By the way, Shilan, look up into my eyes. ”

Looking at Shilan's eyes, I saw that the smooth and fair face, revealing childishness and coldness, a pair of clear eyes, a straight nose, the original face full of weird characters disappeared, but there was a small black "curse" at the center of the eyebrows, not only did not destroy the overall beauty, but it looked more mysterious.

After watching it, I realized how ambiguous our actions were.

I am grabbing a pair of soft, smooth little hands of the girl, the girl tilted her head slightly, her long eyelashes trembled shyly, her teeth bit her lower lip lightly, and the fluttering silver filaments from time to time added a quiet beauty. I slowly lowered my head, the girl's eyes were a little misty, with a faint light of water, and murmured: "Cloud.. Brother Yuntian. The aroma in the mouth enters the nose and makes the heart tremble.

"Ahem!"

A cough broke the atmosphere, and finally touched the girl's jade forehead, the silky feeling was a little nostalgic, and the girl buried her head deep in her chest, and a pair of small hands tightly grasped my palm. The girl who is pregnant with spring is the most beautiful, let alone such a beautiful girl......

......

The young man took the slender hand of the girl behind him. The young man's face was re-masked, and the girl also had an extra layer of silver-white veil, adding a hazy charm. Two young and one old, stepping on the sunset and moving forward slowly.

......

Three days passed quickly, and Shilan was sent back to the Shen family, remembering the girl's last bold move, she was a little reluctant....

"Boy, you're not yet at the time of your children's relationship. “

"Haha, old man, don't worry, I still know this self-knowledge. “

"Well, that's good, boy, because of some of the peculiarities of her condensation, having her by your side can calm your mood and at the same time have a great attraction to you. I saw that little girl also liked you very much, so I let her stay and follow her for three days. “

"What's on my face, old man?"

"Don't worry, you're just a kind of 'seal', when you broke out for the first time, you were suppressed, but it was very stable from time to time, because you broke through a spirit, you can be regarded as a soul master, plus with Shilan as the lead, after your second outburst, it was re-condensed into a little bit at the center of your eyebrows. “

"I see, I don't know if I will have a chance to meet again, I will definitely thank her next time. “

"Haha, boy, there must be a chance, but you have to know that everything is based on strength. I know that there is a girl in the academy who is not inferior to that little girl, and even more beautiful than Shilan. But with your current strength, not to mention these two beautiful girls with natural beauty, even a girl with a little beauty, it is not something you can have. And, I might as well tell you, both of them have extraordinary backgrounds, and I have to be a little jealous. At the same time, give you a piece of advice for the kid, you can be amorous, but you must not be abusive!haha!"

"Don't run!"

.......

The two drifted apart and entered a mountain forest. Slowly climb up the mountain, I saw a blood-red mist on the mountainside, a quiet surrounding from time to time blowing a cold wind, the original emerald green trees turned into white bones-like rotten dead trees, only a few broken leaves remained, making a 'rustling' sound, not far away from the black land there are white Sensen's animal bones are very terrifying.

The old man took me to a cave, and in the dim and damp cave, drops of ice water fell on the rocks, and several icicles formed on the rock walls, like sharp knives, which made people feel a chill. When I walked to the end, I saw a waterhole several meters wide, and a layer of white mist floated above the pool, and the cold breath made me shiver.

"Boy, I'll ask again, but I've really made a decision?" the old man asked very seriously.

"Yes, I've decided. “

"Boy, this will be a real test of life and death, no one can help you, not even me. “

"I stuck to the path I chose. “

"In that case, I'll ask again, and I'll remind you a little more. Remember, be sure to be firm in your heart, don't run away, and face it head-on. You can't run away from what you're afraid of, what you're afraid of. The more you run away, the deeper you will fall, and if you can't get out of it, the result will be that your soul will be sucked up. 'Dead dogs' will be sucked into the Sahasrara, which is a central point of your soul, and you don't have the slightest chance of escaping, either you defeat it and absorb it, or you will become its nourishment. ”

..........

It was midnight, and white mist enveloped the entire cave.

"Click!" I suddenly opened my eyes, and the sight in front of me almost broke me.

The goose-feather snow kept falling, the wind roared in the air, and I was now wearing a tattered linen coat, and the whole person was curled up in an alley, my body was already covered by the snow, and my body was numb and unconscious. Shaking his body to continue, looking at his hands that had already been red and swollen from the cold, his eyes were full of disbelief.

Looking up at the sky, a thick layer of cumulus clouds, and the heavy snow did not mean to stop in the slightest. I can't see the road in the distance, only a faint light can be seen. I didn't feel a trace of temperature, everything was so gloomy. At this time, I was eight years old, I didn't know where my home was, I didn't know who my family was, and I was wandering alone, picking up leftovers. No one took pity on me, no one would take care of me, only the fists and kicks of some thugs.

Slowly propping up his numb body, he leaned against the wall, and walked through the snow with difficulty. One step, leaving a footprint, every footprint is so painful, desolate and helpless. I've long been accustomed to the physical pain, and the mental trauma is numb, and even I don't know why I'm still persevering, maybe all that's left is the stubbornness to survive. In the end, he couldn't support it and fell on the snow, slowly closing his eyes, leaving the last trace of the white and pure but so merciless snowflakes.......

"Ye Yuntian, come on, get up!"

"Oh, get up. "It's just a matter of getting dressed.

Looking at the familiar room, I was a little confused.......

"Hurry up, it's time to go to school after eating, you'll graduate from college this year!"

"College graduated?"

"Yes, I've been raising you for more than ten years. “

Looking at the middle-aged man in front of him, with a somewhat similar expression: "Oh, I know." “

"But.... Ye Yuntian, I may be dying, I felt that my body was not very good last night. But I don't want to go alone, it's too lonely to go alone, you can come with me!"

The middle-aged man with a gloomy face picked up a sharp knife in his left hand and plunged it directly into my chest, the original white shirt was instantly dyed red, and his eyes kept zooming, looking at this person who had adopted me for more than ten years, I didn't feel a trace of pain, I only felt that I was so sad, and my life was so gloomy.

"Is it true that even you are?" With the last trace of doubt, he fell again.

...........

"No one will accept me, won't anyone know that I exist? Why is this happening..."

"Yuntian, Yuntian?"

"Who called me?...... Grandpa?"

"What's wrong Yuntian, you're having a nightmare?"

"Hmm. Looking at the familiar faces in front of me, I was very excited.

"It's okay, grandpa is here. “

"Grandpa..."

"Yuntian, are you with your grandfather or with me?"

"Brother Yuntian, don't you want me?"

"Yuntian, come with me, or I'll kill you!"

Three more faces appeared in front of him, a girl dressed in black and captivating the country, a delicate girl in a pink skirt, and a bad old man.

"Cloudy!" "Cloud.. Brother Tian!" "Yuntian?" "Good grandson?"

"What do you want?"

"Who is that girl Yuntian?" "Brother Yuntian, who is he?"

"Cloudy sky...."

"Cloudy!"

"Brother Yuntian!"

"Long Yuntian?!"

"Don't say it, don't scream!" shouted with a headache in his head and his head in his hands.

......

"Boy, come with me!"

Suddenly, a cloud of black flame appeared beside him.

"Who are you?"

"Haha, it doesn't matter who I am, as long as you follow me, I can take you to break through the illusion. “

"Illusion... Hmph, since you've told me it's an illusion, I'll break it with my own ability, so don't hit my attention!"

"Excuse me, you don't accept me when I'm so generous! Generous! Generous! Generous...... Too.... I'm jealous!"

"Whew.... I want to thank you for letting me see this, you did me a favor and untied the knot, and I am still me no matter where I am. Although I suffered a lot there, it was because I was incompetent, because I did not dare to resist fate. Since I came here and there are so many people around me, I want to protect them, and I won't die so easily. Whether it's her or Shilan, I won't give up. I'm not going to be defeated, who's going to stop me......"

"Whether you're a human or a ghost, you... Let's die!"

A light came out of his eyes, and the scene in front of him began to recede.... Scenes flashed before my eyes, no more sadness, no more despair, like watching a movie. Eventually, it began to fall apart, and pieces of memories scattered and disappeared before my eyes.....

The white mist in the cave slowly dissipated, and the waterhole that was originally shrouded slowly appeared, and above the waterhole, there was a spotless crystal transparent lotus flower, exuding a soft aura. And I was in the middle of the waterhole, and the biting cold constantly stimulated me, and just as I was about to pick the lotus flowers, the final crisis was slowly approaching........
