Chapter 5: Memories of Thousands of Years Ago
Shanyuan was meditating by the stream at the moment, when he heard Nian Gui running and saying that Ah Sheng had an accident, he got up and ran towards the pear courtyard.
When he entered the door, he saw that his younger brothers and sisters were all driven out of the courtyard by Yu Zhi, saying that he would disturb her to cast spells, leaving only An Yun, Luo Ran and Ying Zhen, who lived in the pear garden.
Shanyuan saw Ah Sheng lying on the bed, and Ying Zhen on the side took her hand, looking anxious: "Ah Sheng, Ah Sheng, can you hear it?" ”
Shanyuan saluted Yu Zhi, "Master, what's wrong with Ah Sheng?" ”
"Today, let them test the seal of "Shenyin Mountain Encountering Snow", I just walked away for a while, I heard that someone attacked the seal, and Ah Sheng's consciousness entered this painting."
"I protect the Dharma for Master, and I also ask Master to bring Ah Sheng back."
"Good!"
Shanyuan knew very well that this seal was set up by the previous generation of divine masters, and the best way was to use spiritual power to open the channel and lure Ah Sheng's consciousness back, and the longer she was inside, the more difficult it was to return to her body.
Yu Zhi opened the golden sandalwood box containing the "Picture of the Snow in the Hidden Mountain", sat cross-legged and cast a spell on it.
Outside the seminary, the brothers and sisters dispersed one after another.
"Sister Yuyao, I didn't expect it to be so serious, you say, if Ah Sheng can't come back, will I be kicked out of Shenyin Mountain." Chi Yu asked in fear and pulled the sleeve of Yu Yao in front of him.
"You don't have to be afraid, now that the divine master is saving her, you don't care about asking, even if you ask later, you just grit your teeth and don't admit it. I'm not going to tell you about it. Yu Yao thought to herself, it's not my hand, you do it yourself, go clean up yourself. With a flick of his sleeves, he walked towards the bamboo courtyard.
In front of Ah Sheng's bed, Yu Zhi stopped casting spells, withdrew her spiritual power, and said, "I want to open the seal entrance, and I need someone to go in and bring Ah Sheng out." ”
"I'll go." Shanyuan immediately responded, and said to An Yun and the others: "You are the protector of the Divine Master. ”
An Yun is three, and he is more and more worried, Yu Zhi's spiritual power has reached the third order, which is extremely high, and he still needs the assistance of Shanyuanjun, I am afraid that it is not so simple to get out of this seal.
At this moment, Ah Sheng, who entered the painting, slowly woke up, moved his fingers, felt that the five inner parts were like a cramped cramp, and reluctantly got up, and found that he was in a void space, there was no up and down, except for himself, there was nothing here, not even the wind, and he couldn't see the edge of the line, and it was extremely quiet.
She took two steps forward, but as if she hadn't walked, she was still in place.
"Anyone?" There was not even an echo, and the sound fell into nothingness.
Ah Sheng rubbed his chest, meditated and breathed, and after a while, he eased up a little, recalling that he was still in class just now, watching "Shenyin Mountain Encountering Snow", and using spiritual power to probe the seal.
Could it be that the seal was triggered and sucked into the painting? She muttered.
Gotta find a way out.
Ah Sheng tried to use his spiritual power to open an exit in this void space, but to no avail, as if a sword had fallen short and could not split anything. and tried with spells, but it did not work. Spiritual power is a high-grade spell, and this low-grade spell is even more useless.
When all the methods that can be used are used, I still can't get out. Ah Sheng began to get scared.
Suddenly, there was a whirring sound not far ahead, getting closer and clearer. When Ah Sheng saw it, it was a bloody mouth, and a huge fluffy monster appeared in front of him, only a few meters away from him.
Ah Sheng was so frightened that he stumbled and ran away, and the monster chased after him.
She regretted why she didn't learn the art of driving clouds earlier, and now her life is going to be explained here.
After running for a long time, the monster didn't pounce but kept following closely behind, Ah Sheng stopped and panted and said, "Stop----! ”
The fluffy monster made a foot brake and stopped in front of Ah Sheng.
Only then did she realize that it was a one-eyed guy with a large mouth that could swallow ten Ah Sheng.
"Are you afraid?" The fluffy monster leaned closer to see Ah Sheng's frightened face, and laughed wickedly.
It's useless to be scared when you think about it, Ah Sheng has the courage to say: "If you eat me, I just have a little spiritual power, not enough to stuff my teeth, you can eat if you want." ”
"Are you afraid?" The fluffy monster asked again.
"I'm not afraid!" Ah Sheng stared at the only big eye, and cold sweat was oozing from his palms.
The fluffy monster blinked wide, closed its mouth, and disappeared into nothingness.
Ah Sheng breathed a sigh of relief, but felt that the danger was still there, and remained vigilant.
Suddenly, a familiar voice came: "Ah Sheng, sister, is it you?" ”
"Sister! It's my sister! Ah Sheng couldn't believe his ears, he listened and listened, it was really his sister's voice.
"Sister, I'm here! Here it is! Ah Sheng shouted, raising his hands and waving them constantly.
There was light around her, it was very dazzling, she blocked her forehead with her hand, squinted her eyes, and dimly saw her sister's figure emerge, more and more distinct, she ran towards the figure.
"Sister, sister, I finally found you." Ah Sheng hugged her sister. The older sister stroked her head.
"Sister, let's go back." Ah Sheng grabbed his sister's hand and suddenly found that his hands were full of blood, and the blood dripped to the ground, more and more. When I looked up, I saw that the corners of my sister's mouth were also bloody, and she fell weakly into Ah Sheng's arms.
"Sister, what's wrong with you?" Ah Sheng cried and hugged his sister's body, "I found you, we have to go back together." ”
But her body was getting colder and colder, Ah Li had closed her eyes, and her white dress was dyed blood red.
Surrounding bustling voices came around:
"She has no spiritual power, so weak."
"Her sister is very strong, but unfortunately she died, she can't do anything."
"What a pitiful, tsk!"
Ah Sheng cried and shouted, "No, no! ”
"Your sister will never be recovered. You're scared, you're scared, hahaha......" It was this evil laughter again, filling the void space, Ah Sheng covered his ears in pain, and his head was about to explode.
This is an illusion, it is an illusion, you have to keep your mind!
She quickly meditated, recited the heart purification mantra, and a layer of enchantment floated around her.
The noisy sound gradually faded away, and her sister's figure turned into emptiness, and Ah Sheng opened her eyes, but saw a different scene.
It's a blizzard! The wind and snow are extremely powerful, and she does her best to support the barrier and not be swept away by the wind and snow. After a period of attrition, the blizzard finally stopped, and there was a snowy scene in front of me.
Looking around, she found herself on a snowy mountain, the snow was flat, there were no footprints or traces, only she stood in the middle of the snow.
Looking up, the snow scene was extremely beautiful, which made Ah Sheng, who had been tossed twice, feel relaxed, followed by exhaustion after overdraft.
Where is this?
A multicolored bird streaked across the sky, chirping and landing on the branches, and the pine branches trembled, fluttered, and flew away again. Snow trickles from the pine branches fall to the corners of the pavilion.
"Shenyin Mountain Snow Map"!
Ah Sheng was amazed that it was so real and wonderful to enter the painting.
The snow was thick, and she moved a few steps, barely below her knees, and barely approached the pavilion, and sure enough, she saw two people in the pavilion. The young man in front, handsome and extraordinary, with two strands of hair, a purple robe, and a mirrored pendant pinned to his waist, looked at the snow scene and sighed.
The woman in red behind her has a dignified demeanor, delicate eyebrows, and a snow scene, becoming more and more delicate and cute. She didn't look at the snow, but at the man's back, with affection.
If this woman is the patriarch Xue Ying, then who is this man? Ah Sheng remembered that it was recorded in the historical books that the patriarch Xue Ying was a lifelong goddess and had never been married before her ascension.
The two people in the pavilion gradually disappeared, and the scene of Xue Ying sitting at the stone table concentrating on painting appeared, and after the brush walked all the way, she finished the painting, she looked at the two people in the painting with satisfaction, and muttered: "Lingcong, you will like it, right?" ”
Warm glow floated on her cheeks, and her sweet smile was like a flower.
She paused again, seemed to realize something, and said to herself, "Still, seal it up." Lingcong has a heart, and he will see it. ”
Xue Ying used a spell to make a seal, and the man in the painting disappeared.
It turned out that the first seal was sealed by the patriarch Xue Ying herself. Her beloved is Patriarch Lingcong?!
Ah Sheng has no interest in gossip books, but now that he is in the painting, any clue may be an opportunity to leave.
"If the second seal is to seal the painting spirit, then where is the painting spirit hidden, he is trying his best to escape from the seal, if he is found, maybe we can find a way together, by the way, the prank just now will not also be the work of the painting spirit?"
Ah Sheng pondered while following Xue Ying to a bamboo building, Xue Ying framed the painting and hung it up, and asked, "Si Yan, you say, will Lingcong like it?" ”
A painting spirit instantly appeared beside Xue Ying, and after tasting it carefully, he said: "The master's paintings are excellent, but there is only one person in this pavilion who appreciates the snow, and it is a little lonely." ”
"How do you know she's a snow-seeker?" The corners of Xue Ying's mouth twitched, revealing two laughing sockets. Turning to look out the window, it was snowing again.
It's a painting spirit!
Observe again, this Si Yan is clearly different from the Lingcong and Xueying he saw just now, he is full of spiritual power, Lingcong and Xueying are all virtual images, is it that this space is also formed by his spiritual power, preserving the memories of tens of millions of years ago.
"You saw it all?" Si Yan turned to look at Ah Sheng, and while he was talking, the snowflakes floated in the air and no longer fell, and Xue Ying's figure was also frozen in front of the window.
Time, stopped!
Looking at the painting spirit again, the breath of the whole body began to change, and the shape was also changing, the black hair color turned dark gray, the hair was ankle-length, the face was vicissitudes, and the cyan pupils turned purple, reflecting Ah Sheng's surprised face.
This is the true form of Si Yan!
"I ...... I'm Nangong Sheng, and I strayed into this picture scroll......"
"Hahaha......" Before she could finish speaking, Si Yan laughed.
It's this laughter, it's wicked.
"It turns out that the fluffy monster and my sister's phantom are all your pranks!" Ah Sheng knew that he had been tricked by a spirit, so he was very angry, but he didn't dare to show it.
"It's been a long time since I've played tricks on people, and my hands are itchy." Si Yan looked like "what can you do to me". Leaned over and pulled Ah Sheng's bun, pulled her sleeves, looked up and down, and said, "Now, this dress is ugly like this." ”
"Si Yan, do you know how you can get out?"
"How can you get out, you ask a machine spirit that has been sealed here?" Si Yan felt that Ah Sheng was not very smart.
Ah Sheng changed his way and asked, "Then do you know how I got in?" ”
"You've seen things that others can't see, and it's interesting. The guy next to him named Akabane wanted to tease you, so I took advantage of the situation to pull you in. ”
"Si Yan, you are the painting spirit of Patriarch Xue Ying, how was it sealed?"
"I am a machine spirit formed by Xue Ying's spiritual power, and I have made a master-servant contract, she likes to paint, and I am always by my side. Xue Ying later ascended, and before the ascension, the master-servant contract was terminated, and I lost my master, floating in Xue Ying's room, attached to this "Shenyin Mountain Snow Map". ”
Si Yan gently stroked the painting hanging on the wall, looking sad.
"Whenever someone comes to touch Xueying's things, I come out to scare them and scare people away, and then the divine master of Shenyin Mountain thinks that I disturb the purity here, and seals me in the painting, and I can't get out."
"You miss Xue Ying very much, right, for thousands of years."
"It's been tens of millions of years, and time flies." Si Yan's eyes were moist, and he turned to look out the window.
Outside the window, time continued to flow, and snowflakes fell on Xue Ying's sleeves and fingertips. Xue Ying looked at the sky, and Si Yan looked at her back.
