168 The Demon of the Fog and Rain
“……”
“……”
"Why do you have an unhappy expression, didn't I come to teach you to practice!"
Xu Wen scratched his ears, "Do you think I seem to have been scolded by your sister and had to come to teach you to practice?" I went to look for you after watching Magical Girl last night, but I didn't bother you when I saw that you and Xue Ji seemed to be chatting happily. ”
"I'm not upset about this." Xia Wuyu stared at Xu Wen and said, "I'm just very unhappy with you all the time." ”
"I used to call me Brother Xu Wen sweetly, Brother Xu Wen, and today it has become like this again...... Brother, I'm very sad! ”
"If you are sad, you will be sad." Xia Wuyu glared at Xu Wen, "Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and teach me to practice." Sister Qing has already reached the stage of knotting, and my side has just built the foundation, so I can't help her at all. ”
"How are you going to help...... Isn't I, Brother Xu Wen, who has reached the realm of Yuanying, reliable? ”
"Unreliable."
Xia Wuyu said, "And no matter how powerful you are, there are times when you take it lightly." For example, if I put a little pineapple juice in what you eat, what should I do if you have an allergy attack? There must always be a double insurance, you have cultivated immortals for so many years, it stands to reason that you should understand this truth. ”
"Although it is very unpleasant to be taught a lesson by you...... But what you do say is right. Xu Wen twisted his head, "It's just ...... There is a reason why your sister Qing's cultivation has improved so quickly, and this reason is inconvenient to tell you, and it is inconvenient to teach you, after all, you are still young now, so you ......"
"I see."
Xia Wuyu suddenly understood everything, "Yes...... You can only progress so fast by relying on double cultivation in that sense, right? No wonder you only open a small stove for her. ”
"Tsk...... You're just a sixteen-year-old kid who knows so much about what to do! ”
"Then if I want to speed up my cultivation progress, can I only rely on breathing and refining qi?"
"It's not that there are other quick fixes, but it's going to be a bit of a hardship, do you dare to try?"
"It's okay, I can endure hardship."
Xia Wuyu nodded, "As long as you can speed up your cultivation progress." ”
"Although you are gifted, it is not a good thing to be in a hurry on the road of cultivating immortals, and it is easy to go mad."
Xu Wen's recommended cultivation method to Wuyu is to take medicine, "I have received a lot of top-grade pills from Haotian Valley before, and there are many cultivation pills in them, that is, the kind of existence similar to your experience book, after taking it, you can quickly improve a large amount of cultivation, but the process of cultivation will be very painful." ”
"It's just physical pain, are there any side effects?"
Xia Wuyu pondered, "It's like this kind of quick pill, it's harmful to the body, right?" ”
"Not really...... How can I recommend it to you if it is harmful! I'm also your brother-in-law, so how could I hurt you? ”
"That'...... What kind of pain do you mean? ”
"What is gathered in the cultivation pill is the source of abundant spiritual power, it is condensed spiritual power, and if you greatly improve your cultivation in a short period of time, it will make the demons that plague you in the cultivation process all attack at once, if the spirit can't bear it, there will be a possibility of collapse."
"Doesn't that sound like a lot of risk!"
"Generally speaking, taking the Cultivation Pill requires the blessing of the formation, and if there is a high-level immortal cultivator by your side to protect the Dharma, you will not let the demons erode your mind. As long as you feel that you can't bear to call me, or I find that your condition is wrong, I will take the initiative to help you dispel the demons, but this will affect the efficiency of some cultivation improvements. ”
"...... like this"
"But to be honest, we Wuyu are usually so autistic, I really don't particularly recommend you to use this way to improve your cultivation."
"Don't look down on people less, isn't it just a demon! Watch me break through the cultivation in minutes to show you. What about cultivating for Dan? Bring! ”
"Wait, I'll look for it."
Xu Wen took out a golden pill from the Qiankun bag, this was a primary cultivation pill, and for a cultivator who was still in the foundation building period, the effect was also very amazing.
"Swallow this so that you can quickly improve your cultivation." Xu Wen said, "I'll open a formation for you to protect the Dharma on the side." ”
"Hmm."
After taking over the cultivation pill, Wuyu didn't hesitate much, and directly subdued the golden pill.
"How does it feel?"
"Except for feeling a little hot in my stomach, nothing has changed much......"
Well......
Wu Yu could feel the abundant spiritual power gathered in his dantian qi sea, and there was a feeling of swelling.
"Hey...... I said, has your cultivation pill expired? How do I feel something is wrong...... Hmmm—"
Xia Wuyu talked to Xu Wen on the side, and found that he was already like a stone statue and did not move. Xia Wuyu reached out and touched Xu Wen, but found that Xu Wen turned into a ball of white light, which also completely covered Wuyu's body-
After the light flickered, when Xia Wuyu opened his eyes again, he found that he had come to a completely new place.
The bright campus, the tall teaching building, and the sound of Lang Lang's books can be heard when you walk on the road, but the school uniforms of the students in the past seem a little too rustic.
Xia Wuyu walked on the boulevard of the campus, looking at the students who came and went, and suddenly felt very surprised in his heart.
Over here...... Is it my demons?
School?
I'm not that hated school, did I?
How......
Just when Xia Wuyu was puzzled, a girl with a clean smile walked in front of her, holding books around her arms, talking and laughing with her same-sex friends beside her.
She passed directly through Xia Wuyu's body.
When Xia Wuyu turned around, he found that the girl also looked back, but her eyes did not focus on Wuyu's body, obviously she did not find the existence of Wuyu.
"Xia Qing, what are you looking at?"
"Ah...... No, nothing...... I just felt like I had bumped into someone. ”
"You don't seem stupid, how can there be anyone else around here?" The girl on the side teased.
"Our Qingbao may be born with special abilities and can see ghosts!"
"Wow, stop talking. Scared to death personally. ”
Xia Qing, who was dressed as a high school student, beat her companions around her, her smile was still clean and innocent, Xia Wuyu quietly looked at her sister who was not so familiar, the appearance of her sister's student days in her memory was long gone, and all Xia Wuyu thought of was her sister who was always busy in front of the stove and always left only her back.
Xia Wuyu stepped forward and wanted to touch Xia Qing again, but the picture suddenly changed again and returned to his home.
The first thing the fog and rain heard was the continuous coughing sound, intertwined with the cry of wah.
The scene cuts back to the living room, where everything in the house is yellowed with a yellowed filter.
Here, she saw what she looked like in the fourth grade of elementary school.
Although it is short hair, the bangs have been covering the eyes, giving people a very gloomy feeling.
The one who kept crying was the late peach in swaddling clothes.
She kept crying.
No matter how the fog and rain pushed the wooden rocking chair, she kept crying.
Elementary school student Wuyu kept staring at the evening peach in the rocking chair, his expression indifferent and sluggish.
Foggy and rainy didn't try to coax her, just watched her quietly.
However, just seeing this scene, Xia Wuyu's pupils, who were already high school students, suddenly dilated, his pupils kept vibrating, and suddenly the surrounding sounds began to fade and blur, as if only Wuyu's own reluctant and turbid breathing could be heard in the entire air.
The sound of breathing became more and more muffled.
The picture is getting darker and darker.
Like a breather trying to try to float up to breathe air, Wuyu struggled painfully, she raised her hand and stretched out to the third-grade self in the picture, she looked at the young her standing up, put her hands on the tender neck of the evening peach, looking at her face flushed from crying hard, the young Wuyu, still had no intention of stopping.
The scene that follows begins to flash back in the roar of Fog and Rain's struggle, and it also begins to display all kinds of disordered pictures like a rewind videotape, and when Fog and Rain are about to suffocate to the point of being out of breath, with her heart-rending roar, she only hears a loud slap.
When he rewinded back, only Xia Qing's flushed and angry face remained.
In her memory, she never seemed to be glaring at someone so angrily.
She remembered.
In her memory, she has never glared at one person so angrily.
Be......
Me.
It's just me.
Wuyu raised his hands, and his smooth arms were suddenly covered with all kinds of scars, and suddenly became bloody again.
When Discord's memories began to flashback, the blurred back appeared in the foggy rain's eyes, and the mother who was lying on the sickbed and moaning.
She saw Xia Qing rubbing her hands red from the cold, waiting for the arrival of the owner of the house in front of the gatehouse of the community on a cold winter night; She saw Xia Qing come to her grandfather's ramen restaurant just after dawn, and accompanied her grandfather to prepare the ingredients for the day.
She saw Xia Qing holding the sleeping evening peach, pacing back and forth in a park full of mosquitoes, while driving away mosquitoes and fanning the wind for the evening peach;
She saw Xia Qing squatting under the uninhabited telephone pole, quietly sobbing under the falling snow.
……
"Since it's so painful...... Why stick to it? ”
"Mingming...... She and I are a burden to you. ”
"A burden that is holding you back from the path of life."
Xia Wuyu looked at a back that was extremely similar to her current self, and when she turned around, she saw a hollow and chaotic face.
She lifted her hand, a hand dripping with a thick black liquid, as if in the mud.
When the fog and rain came back to his senses, he was already in the mud and couldn't get out.
She trembled and stared at the creeping monster that was gradually coming towards her, she wanted to shout loudly but trembled and couldn't make a sound, but she couldn't remember the name in her mind, and the foggy rain that was already sweating all over her body could only look helplessly at the monster named fog rain, and gradually crawled towards herself-
"Xu ......"
"Xu ......"
"Xu Wen!"
Like a drowning man who had been struggling for a long time finally got a lifebuoy, Xia Wuyu had never breathed such a long breath like now, and Wuyu recovered from the battle with the demons, and found himself hugging Xu Wen tightly, obviously Xu Wen was also frightened by Wuyu's sudden move, he first raised his hands, performed a standard French military salute, and then slowly patted Wuyu's shoulder.
"It's, it's all right! I don't think you're going well...... Why is it suddenly like a seizure - what is your inner demon? ”
Xia Wuyu didn't speak, just hugged Xu Wen tightly, panting heavily.
She didn't dare to speak. Because as soon as she spoke, Xu Wen could find that she would cry.
There is a demon lurking in everyone's heart.
It will become the most unforgettable image in people's hearts.
But more often than not, it's all about itself.
This is especially true for summer fog and rain.
After holding Xu Wen in his arms for three minutes, the fog and rain slowly eased up.
"You...... Did you make a move? ”
"Of course you did, you're calling my name so desperately."
"Can't you see what I see?"
Xu Wen nodded, "Otherwise...... You think I'm Liuli, I'm not that godly. ”
"Hmmm......"
Xia Wuyu paused for a long time, and suddenly looked up at Xu Wen, just in time to meet Xu Wen's somewhat complicated gaze.
"You see it."
"What do you see? Don't talk nonsense. ”
"Since you're going to pretend to me, I'll tell you directly."
Xia Wuyu paused and looked at Xu Wen quietly.
"When I was in the fourth grade of elementary school, I did a very terrible thing, and at that time, I almost strangled Wan Tao to death."
"Uh."
"I knew you saw it."
Xia Wuyu said, "Otherwise, how could you be so cold......"
"I'm not cold because I see it, I think I can understand."
"You...... Understandable? ”
"Hmm." Xu Wen nodded lightly, "Are you ...... Feel that you and Wan Tao have become a burden to Qingbao, right? ”
"Hmmm......"
It was obviously a very painful thing, and it seemed to be as tasteless as an understatement when it came out of Xu Wen's mouth, and Xia Wuyu had a feeling that the emotions that were brewing and erupting hit the cotton.
"I didn't expect someone as stupid as you to be able to guess."
"Even if I only have one-tenth of the original memory, the length of five hundred years of experience is not comparable to that of a teenager like you, right?"
"Didn't you say that memories are incoherent......"
Xia Wuyu paused, and then suddenly realized, "You have been lying to us!" Orphans pretending to be amnesiac! ”
"It's not a lie, because memories are really incoherent."
"The person who was important to me, no matter how much I read it, did not exist in my memory, but only left that vague and chaotic afterimage. But anything other than the afterimage, it's real. ”
Xia Wuyu saw Xu Wen show a sad expression that he had almost never seen before, and suddenly understood some of the situation.
The time she and Xu Wen spent together, for Xu Wen's entire length of cultivating immortals, was obviously just a moment when the white horse passed through the gap.
But it seems to be influencing everything in Xu Wen's past five thousand years.
Xia Wuyu rarely used a soft voice to Xu Wen, "Actually...... You haven't forgotten her, or you've always had a place for her, but you don't want to show it to Sister Qing, so it seems so indifferent to the meaning of memory? ”
"To use your nether fashionable chicken soup words, 'People, always have to move forward', and ah......"
Xu Wen gently stroked Wuyu's head, and Xia Wuyu rarely didn't push it away.
"And what?"
"I don't know why, but I always have a feeling."
"Sunny Treasure...... It's not a substitute for her existence. ”
