Killing the Temple (9)

At this moment, Xuan Chenzi and Nie Shizhi turned around twice in this place where they were imprisoned, but they couldn't find an exit. Except for a bedroom in the inner room, where they were located was made of seven inches of solid brick, which kept them tightly inside.

Who the hell is going to trap them? Why the hell are they besieging them?

Go deeper, only to see a strange formation, this formation is each place with seven steps, and these seven steps are very strange every time you walk, it seems that there is a unique way to crack it, a little wrong step, and the poisonous gas hidden weapon flies out.

"It's weird." Xuan Chenzi dodged the dart that had just flew, and flew to the door of the mechanism again, lingering.

As soon as Nie Shizhi saw the formation in front of him, he knew that this was the "Seven-Step Bagua Array" at the entrance of the Deer Forest. She knew how to crack it, but her brother had told him that she couldn't tell others how to crack it no matter what, otherwise Lu Lin would definitely be attacked, and his and his lives would be threatened.

She hesitated again and again, and finally chose to remain silent, not for herself, but only for her brother, but when she saw Xuan Chenzi in front of her worried, she couldn't bear it.

"Why don't we look elsewhere, maybe we can find another exit." Nie Shizhi suggested.

Xuan Chenzi looked at that formation and frowned, since there was no way to break through here, then he could only find another way, so he agreed to Nie Shizhi's suggestion.

The two kept an appropriate distance, and Nie Shizhi quietly followed behind Xuan Chenzi, who continued to walk forward with the "Lu Hao" in his hand.

"Don't be afraid, with me, I will protect you." Xuan Chenzi said this to Nie Shizhi behind him.

Nie Shizhi's heart also became quieter and warmer.

"Hmm." Nie Shizhi answered, and followed closely behind him.

After walking further on, about an hour, the two of them found themselves back in the bedroom.

Xuan Chenzi was helpless, calmed down and thought about it at this moment and found that the distance they had taken was a circular path, when they walked just now, there was a secret passage on the outermost side of the bedroom, they walked that one, and came to that strange formation, there is no other way here, it seems that only cracking that formation is the only way out.

After carefully searching in the bedroom, they found that there was enough food in the bedroom, which made Xuan Chenzi even more strange about the purpose of the people who besieged them.

"Zhichu, do you know that strange formation?" Xuan Chenzi asked.

He looked at Nie Shizhi sideways, Nie Shizhi hurriedly shook his head and denied: "I don't know, I don't know martial arts, and I don't know that formation......"

Xuan Chenzi had heard in the Firmament Sect that there was a secret array in the Lulinkou hidden by Nie Zu, and many people in the rivers and lakes went to have no return, that is the famous "Seven-step Bagua Array", there is a cracked code to crack, and this password was created by Nie Zu, and only Nie Zu and his sister know it in this world.

They are trapped in this place, why do they also have a "seven-step gossip array"? This is something that Xuan Chenzi can't understand, but there are few living people in this river and lake who have seen this formation, who will make this formation? Could it be that Nie Zu created it? But he has always been hidden in the deer forest, but he just asked about the affairs of the rivers and lakes, why did he come out to intervene now? And trapping both of them? What's in it for him?

"Come to think of it, how do you know about that strange formation?" Xuan Chenzi sighed helplessly.

Nie Shizhi's heart is in a great contradiction at the moment, once she informs, then her identity will be exposed, and if she doesn't tell her, then she and Xuan Chenzi don't know how long they can survive in this place, and those foods will be eaten one day.

She couldn't figure out who would trap them here for a while, and she also knew that the "Seven Steps Bagua Array", this formation was only known to her brother and herself, and who would secretly record that formation and create such an identical one. But she was sure that this person would never be her brother, because he would never do anything to hurt her.

The two of them have been here together for seven days, one bed, Xuan Chenzi sleeps under the bed, Nie Shizhi sleeps on the bed, every day Xuan Chenzi will spend two hours going to the "Seven Steps Bagua Array" to find a way to crack it, but every time it is in vain.

He returned to the bedroom and saw Nie Shizhi sitting there reading a book, and when he got closer, he found that the name of the book was "Yijing", and he remembered that he used to read this book when he was a child, and he read it no less than fifty times.

That winter, it snowed extremely much in Qingshui Village at the foot of the Ethereal Peak, and a vast white snow covered the village, and the green bricks and green tiles all turned white for a while.

His mother was unwell, lying on the hospital bed unable to get up, dying, unconscious, and kept muttering, "I really want to drink a sip of fish soup." ”

But where do the fish come from this winter?

Daddy looked at his mother's weak body, and just let out a long sigh and said, "I don't know how long her body can last?" Then there was a kind of tiredness in Daddy's old eyes.

To this day, Xuan Chenzi can still clearly remember his father's eyes, which are heavier than carrying a thousand catties of stones on his back.

Originally, they were also big families, but in the era of war, their families fell into the middle of the road, and later encountered rogue bandits on the migration road, so they fell here.

Xuan Chenzi always felt that if there was no evil in this world, then there would be no pain in this world, so his heart was extremely firm in eliminating evil.

That year, Xuan Chenzi walked in the snow with a white oil-paper umbrella, and his father looked at his clear eyes and said, "You shouldn't be the same person as us." ”

In fact, at that time, Xuan Chenzi didn't understand what his father meant, what should he mean by not being the same person as them.

That day, in order to help A-Niang catch fish, he took off his shoes and walked barefoot to the river, his snow-white ankles were red from the cold, the river was frozen, and he walked on the river tremblingly. Who knew that the ice was thin, Xuan Chenzi fell into the lake all of a sudden, thinking that he was going to die, but he didn't expect a pair of powerful hands to scoop him up.

Xuan Chenzi looked at it, and the man was wearing a dark light gauze, a dark undershirt, and a long hair shawl as black as ink. This man put Xuan Chenzi on the shore, held his hands to help him rub and warm him, and put on the cloth shoes that were placed on the shore for him.

"Whose child are you?" Mo Yu asked.

"The family." Xuan Chenzi pointed to a small thatched hut not far away and said.

"Well, why are you dangerous on the river, you know?" Mo Yu's inky pupils stared at him.

"I know, but A-Niang wants to drink fish soup, she is not in good health, maybe this is her last wish......" Xuan Chenzi said, he remembered that Lang Zhong had told his father that A-Niang might not be able to survive the winter.

Mo Yu's eyes deepened, and he immediately gathered his internal force towards the surface of the river and slapped it violently, and a large hole suddenly exploded on the surface of the river, and many fish flew out.

Xuan Chenzi happily grabbed a few and said with a smile: "Thank you!" Thank you! ”

Mo Yu smiled and nodded at him, "I'll go back with you!" It's dangerous to be alone in this mountain. ”

"Okay, thank you, big brother." Xuan Chenzi said gratefully.

But when Xuan Chenzi came home with the fish, Ah Niang had already lost his breath, and his father also fell beside Ah Niang, Xuan Chenzi threw away the fish in his hand and ran to his father's side and cried loudly, Mo Yu had a bad premonition, so he reached out to probe, only to find that the two had long lost their breath, seeing that the man's face was black as if he had taken poison, and the woman's face was pale and sickly, and she should be terminally ill and died.

This is the way of the world, there are too many people who are tortured by life, and too few people can survive well.

Xuan Chenzi cried out heartbreakingly: "Daddy! Why did you leave me? Why?! ”

Mo Yu's heart was filled with pain, and he walked to Xuan Chenzi's side to help him wipe his tears, and asked, "What's your name?" ”

Xuan Chenzi looked at the person in front of him: "My name is Xuan Yi." ”

Mo Yu looked at the poor boy in front of him and said, "Xuan Yi, are you willing to return to the Firmament Sect with me?" ”

"What's that?" Xuan Chenzi asked.

"It's a place where there is only justice." Mo Yu said.

"Is there only a place for justice? No rogue bandits? Xuan Chenzi asked.

"Yes, there are no bad people." Mo Yu said.

"Good! Then I'll go with you. Xuan Chenzi agreed.

"Then you go with me, and change your name!" Mo Yu said.

"As long as you can go, you can change anything."

"Then let's call you Xuanchenzi! This is your new name. ”

"Okay."

After burying Xuan Chenzi's father and mother, Xuan Chenzi returned to the firmament faction with Mo Yu, he always believed that the source of all this tragedy was the evil of this world, if there were no bad people in this world, then this world would not be so painful.

At that time, he missed his father and mother very much, so he would recite the "Book of Righteousness", which was something that his mother often taught him. Because the pain was too deep and heavy, since then, Xuan Chenzi seems to have changed as a person, and he has never allowed anything in his heart to seek the Tao.

Looking at the book in Nie Shizhi's hand, Xuan Chenzi thought of his father and mother again.

How can you abandon the righteousness in your heart because of the selfish feelings of your children?
