Chapter 55: Red Moon Valley
After a temporary period of freedom, a temporary period of joy, there is no one in the four looks, and in its place is a heart as empty as the heavens and the earth. The same sad mood as this dead and silent world. How many days can I live, how to die, I don't know, in fact, I also know, sooner or later I will be caught by the poison grave gate, sooner or later I will die, and I will die very miserably, only the life in the nightmare is like this, there is no way out. Gu Xiaowen thought.
Yan Ping saw Gu Xiaowen sullen, and he also knew her mood. Just looking for something lighthearted.
"You look quiet, just like that lady, you were originally the daughter of a wealthy family, but you are not ambiguous when you kill people" Yan Ping stopped talking, thinking, he was going to say a few words lightly, how could he talk about killing again. In this troubled world, there is only one word for killing.
Gu Xiaowen smiled: "If my father knew that I killed three demons today, he would be very happy." He named me 'Weak Wen', which means 'strong force', but I didn't even dare to kill a chicken since I was a child. ”
Yan Ping smiled, "Then how dare you kill someone later?"
"I didn't kill anyone after that, and for the first time today, I didn't expect to kill three at once. Gu Xiaowen said lightly, just like the tone of a cold-blooded killer on the rivers and lakes after killing someone.
"The first time you killed someone? are you still so calm, I see that when you killed that corpse patrolman, your face did not change and your heart did not beat, who are you fooling? It is those demons in the Poison Mound Gate today, they will be afraid of killing people for the first time" Yan Ping said with a smile.
"Maybe yes, I'm also strange, maybe I've seen too much killing these days, and I'm used to it, maybe I don't treat the people of the Poison Grave Gate as human beings at all. ”
Yan Ping said: "That's not it, watching others kill people is not the same as killing yourself, if today is really the first time you kill someone, then you are probably a born cold-blooded killer." ”
The two didn't dare to take the big road, nor did they dare to take the small road, only walked where there was no road, and just entered a forest, they saw a few black-clothed people riding over under the hillside, naturally they were from the poison mound gate.
The two looked at the sky and said: "It's already Shenpai, we haven't seen us at the previous level, we must know that something is wrong, let's go." The two of them did not dare to delay, but the living corpse sometimes did not listen to the call. Because Gu Xiaowen's rattle force often makes mistakes.
Fortunately, the ten-mile road is not far, and the Shenpai has not passed, and it has already arrived in the Red Moon Valley.
Looking down from the hillside, a ruined stone city in the valley, several crumbling arrow towers stand in the wind, barren grass is full of slopes, and the stone city with full moon in the past is full of willows and slanting sun, but even the crows and cicadas can't be heard.
The two of them descended the hillside into the mountain.
"Does it look like a dream?" Gu Xiaowen asked.
"Like. ”
"This scene has been dreamed of before. ”
"It's like I've seen it in a dream. ”
"Why do you say what people say?"
"Really, I really dreamed of such a scene. It's just that I can't remember it really. After I woke up that day, I felt as if I hadn't really woken up, or in a dream, and I was hoping that someone would be next to my pillow and suddenly scream and wake me up. ”
Gu Wanwen said: "Have you ever dreamed in a dream? It's just that after waking up from a dream, you are still in a dream." ”
"Everybody has ever dreamed like that. Yan Ping said.
"Then you say, how many layers are there in this nightmare of ours?"
"In today's Shu Mountain, this nightmare is only afraid of countless layers. ”
Gu Xiaowen was speechless. There was a moment of silence. Gu Xiaowen said: "Why do you want to save me." For the sake of being a good person, for the sake of martial arts?"
Yan Ping said: "Do nothing, martial arts? Today, Wulin got this fate, and it was also your seven major sects to blame." It's just that when I first saw your appearance clearly in Wuji Temple, I felt that I had seen you somewhere, and anyway, I decided to save you. ”
"Don't talk so sensually, okay?"
Yan Ping said: "By the way, just what you said, I seem to be familiar with it, as if someone has said this to me somewhere, but I can't remember it." ”
"It's more fleshy. ”
This sentence is more familiar. ”
Gu Xiaowen's heart moved. It seems that I remembered something, and it was as if I remembered nothing. Why did he already know what he hadn't said in the conversation with Yan Ping just now. Since childhood, some of the things Gu Xiaowen has encountered, some scenes have not happened yet, and it seems to have happened. It's like she always repeats a dream, a hazy back in the dream, Gu Xiaowen waited for him to turn his head, but he couldn't.
"You're not done, are you?" Gu Xiaowen didn't say how he felt, and that feeling was indescribable.
"You were the first to say something like this in a dream, didn't you?" Yan Ping said.
"Okay, I'll not say anything. Gu Xiaowen seemed to know the following conversation again.
"Time waits for no one, let's get down to business, you use the most concise words to tell me what you are doing in the full moon building? ”
Gu Xiaowen breathed a sigh of relief, not the sentence he had a hunch.
"Come to the full moon building to find a very important thing. ”
After waiting for a long time, Yan Ping said, "Finished?"
"It's over. It's you who say it in the most concise terms."
"Well, it could be more concise - 'find something'. ”
"Well, looking for something. ”
"Then let's start looking. ”
"The first step is to enter the city with a full moon. Gu Wanwen said.
The two of them disguised themselves slightly, Gu Xiaowen took out the clothes of the corpse patrol from a bag and put them on, Yan Ping put on the bloodstained clothes on the left side of the Chen Cave Lord, and turned out the Cold Moon Card of the Chen Cave Lord and put it in his arms. Waking the copper bell and summoning the living corpses, when he arrived outside the stone city, three or five disciples of the Poison Tomb Gate outside the city commanded dozens of people to drive piles under an arrow tower, and a group of people were widening the moat that year's Moon Full Building against the Poison Tomb Gate.
Seeing that the two of them were coming with a living corpse, the disciples of the Poison Mound Sect hurriedly lowered their hands and stood solemnly, and those recruits did not dare to come out. Those who are equipped with corpse patrols and living corpses are naturally important people in the Poison Tomb Gate, or people who have important business trips.
On the moat, where did the two disciples of the Five Poisons Sect dare to interrogate the two. After passing the outer city, the officials of the inner city gate led a few disciples of the Poison Mound Gate to greet them. Bow your head and ask the boss of which department the two of them are, what kind of help do you need to go to this Red Moon City-Poison Mound Gate has changed the name of Fengmanlou City?", whether you want to inform the city lord, which inn to arrange, and where to eat.
Yan Ping was too lazy to answer, and looked like he couldn't be beaten.
Gu Xiaowen's eyes looked at the city over the head of the door official, and he also looked disdainful of talking to the door official, and said for a while: "The Tsing Yi City criminals who the Holy Lord took have escaped today, and we have been ordered to come to your city to inspect, and we don't need to alarm your city lord, and you don't have to worry about food and accommodation." ”
"Yes, yes, it's just that there are many people who have gone out of the city on business these days, and there are few people who have entered the city, and only twenty-seven people have entered the city on the third day. "The officer also wants to confess his conscientious work.
"Fart," Yan Ping suddenly shouted, startling Gu Xiaowen, "Do you still want fugitives to enter and exit through your broken door? Let you recognize them? Fugitives are pig-headed like you, and he can still escape? He won't fly over the city wall to enter? Do you know how high the fugitive's martial arts are?"
The officer's face changed in fright, and Nuo Nuo said yes, and whispered: "There are also people guarding the four city walls. ”
Yan Ping was even more furious: "You just don't want us to go into the city?
"How dare you?" said the doorman while bowing his waist to apologize, "Quickly check the cards for the two masters." ”
A clerk hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
"The new Bailian Cave Master Yan Yuan, and the corpse patrol Gu Sanmei. Yan Ping said with two names. The clerk was busy writing it down in the book, and sang loudly: "Yan Yuan, the master of Bailian Cave, and Gu Sanmei, the corpse patrolman, have entered the city. "This is sung to the verification clerk in the concierge next to me.
Yan Ping and Gu Xiaowen each took out the cold moon card of the Chendong Lord and the brand of the corpse patroller, but Yan Ping almost pasted the sign on the face of the door official, and said fiercely: "Let you see it clearly, huh, can you see it clearly?"
Where could the officer read the words on the card? It's just that I saw the cold moon card that can only be had by the identity of the cave master, how dare I look at it again. Just muffled and didn't speak.
Gu Xiaowen also shook the corpse patrol's sign and took it back.
Yan Ping shouted at the verification documents in the gatehouse again: "Don't turn over your running account, does Bai Liandong know? It was only set up in Niutouguan this month, how old is your broken book?" and yelled at the doorman, "Do you remember the number plate of this living corpse?"
The doorman said: "No need, Master Yan, please"
"You don't need to arrange anything else, let's go, the Holy Lord's major affairs can't afford to delay. In the latter sentence, Yan Ping said to Gu Wanwen, saying that he had advanced to the inner city, Gu Wanwen rang the bell, and the living corpse also went to the city.
The door officials and clerks behind him stuck out their tongues and said, "This new official is so powerful, but he is just a cave master, if the hall master or something, he won't eat us." ”
The doorman said: "Looking at him like this, he can't be the hall master." If he hadn't brought a living corpse, Lao Tzu wouldn't have let him in today. The doorman wiped the sweat from his forehead, mentioned a few words, looked at the sunset and said, "It's so fucking hot." He turned around and gave the clerk a kick, and the clerk was inexplicable.
Yan Ping and Gu Xiaowen finally entered the city, but it was an empty city.
Empty Street[,!]
