Volume 1 Qingyang Mountain Chapter 36 Dream in a Cage
Back in the house, Hua Ruxue took off her shoes and lay on the bed, her consciousness sinking into the sea of souls.
"Little stone, can you see it?"
When the words fell, the golden sea of souls suddenly changed.
It was dark and silent, and the wind blowing in front of me was damp and sticky, and the smell was mixed, and just standing here made me feel that I couldn't breathe.
After a while, Hua Ruxue adjusted her breathing, raised her feet and walked along the narrow road, the cold and flowing stream just touched the instep, the slightly viscous touch was so real, it seemed that this was not Su Huaiqian's dream, but a real past.
Xiao Shi was even more powerful than she imagined, she thought that being able to see Su Huaiqian's dream was the limit, but he actually pulled her directly into the dream, and it was so real.
"Little Stone, what is this place? Where are Su Huaiqian and the silver snake? ”
The reincarnation stone did not reply, but Hua Ruxue felt fleeting compassion and a trace of apology from him. It seemed that he had found Su Huaiqian and the silver snake.
After walking about a mile forward, out of the Yongdao, a few wall lamps were lit, surrounded by dozens of closed stone gates, and the water in the Yongdao was coming from those stone gates.
Where is this? This hard stone wall and long road don't look like Su Huaiqian's courtyard, it should be a cave somewhere in Qingyang Mountain.
Just as Hua Ruxue was thinking about which door to look from, a stone door suddenly opened, and out of it came a delicate girl wearing a blue and white dress, with three words engraved on the wooden sign hanging from her waist.
This girl turned out to be Su Ruoyu! Hua Ruxue was frightened and hurriedly stepped forward to take a look.
She was born petite, with a palm-sized goose egg face, and her eyebrows and eyes showed sluggishness and dazedness from time to time, and she looked silly and innocent, and she couldn't connect her with the outright liar in the cat demon's mouth.
However, if you look closely, you can still distinguish the traces of camouflage from her scrutiny and defense.
Su Ruoyu will appear here, indicating that this place is not in the Changxia Valley, which is not allowed to be entered by non-descendant disciples. Luoying Valley has fallen flowers all year round, the ground is soft, the roots are staggered, there will be such a hard stone wall, how deep do you have to dig? The White Tibetan Valley is a forbidden place, and it can't be there.
The most likely place is the mountain peaks outside the White Tibetan Valley.
In contemplation, a familiar voice sounded in the stone room, loud and bright, with a bit of love.
"It's a pity that non-descendants of Changxia Valley are not allowed to enter, and I haven't seen it with my own eyes."
I saw Su Ruoyu followed by a burly middle-aged man, his black hair on his temples was slightly yellow under the illumination of the lamp, his eyelids drooped, and there were red threads under his eyes, his face was full of fatigue, but his eyes were shining.
It seems that something that has been difficult for him for a long time has finally made some progress.
Su Ruoyu turned to the man and said, "Thank you Elder for clarifying your doubts, Senior Brother Su He has always wanted to find a way to improve the talent of demon beasts, and his contract beasts have also heard of it." The treasure in the elder's mouth should be tight, otherwise Senior Brother Su and Senior Brother would not be so worried. ”
That person was Su Huaiqian. I haven't seen him in seven years, he's still the same as before, oh no, this is the scene from seven years ago.
Su Ruoyu was discovered stealing treasures seven years ago and killed himself in Xuandong Valley. Now that Su Ruoyu is still alive, the scene at this time must be seven years ago.
Su Huaiqian didn't seem to hear Su Ruoyu's questioning of the treasure in Changxia Valley, and replied with a smile: "Since it is a treasure, it must not be known by anyone, and not everyone can touch it." ”
If the treasure that improves the talent of demon beasts is in Changxia Valley, with Su He's status and status, he hasn't even gotten the slightest news, but Su Huaiqian can know?
A black shadow flashed in front of him, and Su Ruoyu's figure was no longer in front of him, leaving only Su Huaiqian alone.
He turned around and returned to the stone room, where the candles were bright, and there was a thin silver snake lying on the stone platform, the silver snake's breath was weak, and the thick black blood stains on the corners of his mouth had coagulated.
Su Huaiqian sighed, and said to the silver snake in a loving voice: "I read ancient books and found a new way, don't be afraid, this time you will definitely be able to improve your talent." ”
The silver snake didn't answer, he didn't even lift his eyes, he didn't even have the strength to open his eyes.
For days or months in a row, Su Huaiqian would always bring new methods, or elixirs or spells, and the one he remembered the most was the medicinal bath.
The silver snake was thrown into the medicine barrel, and the skin on its body was visibly rotting quickly, but Su Huaiqian didn't mean to stop at all, he said lovingly: "Don't be afraid, this time it will definitely be possible." ”
This is what he said most often: "Don't be afraid, you can do it this time." ”
Is this the hell in the mouth of the Silver Serpent? No, it shouldn't be, the current silver snake doesn't have such a strong hatred in his eyes.
At the end of each experiment, the silver snake soaked in a new medicine barrel and waited for the wound to heal, he would always look at the stone walls around him in a daze, those blue eyes were like grass in the mountains, it seemed that as long as he looked at it a few more times, the hard, gray and cold stone walls would turn into soft green grass.
Once upon a time in the Snow Pavilion, no one would talk to him, whether it was a fox or a rabbit or a bird, and the monks would avoid him. Because he is the most cold-blooded, insidious and cunning snake, his saliva is highly venomous.
He still remembered that day, in the Xuanying Palace, seventy-six lamps instantly illuminated the entire hall, and such a dazzling and brilliant light was born because of him!
He will probably never forget that dream-like scene for the rest of his life.
originally thought that he would be noticed by thousands of people and would live a comfortable and comfortable life, just like the weird-looking nine-tailed demon fox.
Immediately, the silver snake pulled the corners of his mouth indifferently, anyway, he was not the only one who was unlucky, the nine-tailed demon fox that was thrown into the Hundred Beast Forest must be worse than him, maybe it had entered someone's stomach at this time.
On this day, the door of the stone room was opened, and the silver snake subconsciously arched its body to hold its breath, looking at the cage covered with black cloth in Su Huaiqian's hand, he couldn't guess what the method was this time, why did he use the cage?
The black cloth was untied, and in the cage lay a small silver snake, about a year old, and he was lazily languid with his eyes closed, as if he had not woken up.
Su Huaiqian opened the cage, put the little snake next to the silver snake, and said lovingly: "These days, I am not here, he will accompany you." ”
Before the words fell, the little snake opened his eyes and yawned, and then looked around in surprise.
He approached the silver snake and shouted affectionately, "Big brother! Where is this? ”
The silver snake slowly retreated, no one had ever dared to approach him like this, he was a little uncomfortable.
"Big brother, is this where you live?"
"They said you made the Xiaohan Mirror light up seventy-six lights! Big brother, you're amazing! ”
The eyes of the little silver snake are the same blue as him, like the endless grass in the forest that does not return in spring, and they are not the same as him, and the eyes of the little snake seem to glow.
"Big brother, when will we be able to go out! It's spring soon, and now the rabbits are very cunning, and I'm going to catch the fattest rabbit for my eldest brother! ”
The silver snake lay quietly beside the little snake, listening to him tell the story outside, echoing from time to time.
He seldom got close to anyone, or never had anyone said so much to him, looked at him with a light in his eyes, and proudly said, "Big brother, you are so good!" ”
No one has ever called him big brother, and no one has ever complimented him.
For seven days in a row, just when the silver snake was about to forget Su Huaiqian and those pains, the door of the stone room was suddenly opened.
This time it was still a familiar medicinal bath, and the silver snake jumped into it with ease, and today was different from before, with the little snake by his side, he couldn't be timid to show a trace of fear.
"Big brother, this time it will definitely be successful!" The little snake lay down beside the barrel and said to the silver snake in a very firm tone.
The silver snake weakly poked out of the water and smiled at the little snake, he is the eldest brother, he can't give up, he wants to become stronger to protect the little snake.
In the next moment, the little snake's head and tail separated, and blood poured into it, staining his medicinal bath red.
Su Huaiqian looked at them condescendingly, and said softly in the most loving tone: "Don't be afraid, this time it will definitely be possible." ”
The tense strings in the silver snake's mind snapped unexpectedly, and he only agreed to his request yesterday, saying that he would protect him, and he would protect him when he became stronger.
The little snake disappeared and turned into boundless blood and melted into the medicinal bath, and he frantically searched for the little snake's breath, trying to keep him.
He sank in the water for a long, long time, until the blood seeped into the cracks of the scales and became one with him.
In a trance, he seemed to hear the voice of the little snake, and he said, "Big brother, you are so powerful, I said that this time it will definitely succeed!" ”
Leaning out of the water again, the silver snake's eyes were red, and there were blood stains in the corners of his eyes, standing in front of him was Su Huaiqian, who had been waiting for a long time.
Su Huaiqian had a loving smile on his face, and he said with concern: "Good boy, you have succeeded. ”
He succeeded, at the cost of losing the child who would ask him hot and cold, smile brightly, and call him big brother.
For the first time, he had a resentful thought, and as soon as such a thought came out, it grew in his mind like a madweed, he wanted to kill this person, kill this hypocritical person in front of him, and avenge the life that had just been lost!
The silver snake pricked up its pupils and stared at Su Huaiqian's neck, opened its mouth and rushed over, as long as it bit his throat, it was all over.
Su Huaiqian stood in place and did not dodge, and when the silver snake was about to approach him, a strong force bounced the silver snake away.
It was a barrier, or contract, to prevent the Silver Serpent from fighting back.
Su Huaiqian slowly approached the silver snake, shook his head and sighed: "Sure enough, it is a sinister and cunning poisonous snake, I helped you, but you want to take revenge, fortunately, you can't hurt me for the rest of your life." ”
The silver snake's eyes widened in disbelief and it bit at Su Huaiqian violently, but before it could get close to him, it was bounced away by a force.
What should he do? There was no way for him to hurt Su Huaiqian. The little snake disappeared silently, and he couldn't do anything.
Do snakes shed tears too?
What are those red eyes and the blood stains at the corners of the eyes?
Early the next morning, Su Huaiqian carried another cage into the stone room, this time holding a white snake two years older than the silver snake.
The white snake had a fierce gaze, and as soon as he got out of the cage, he immediately pounced on Su Huaiqian, but like the silver snake, it was bounced away before it touched Su Huaiqian.
"We can't hurt him." Silver Serpent said sadly.
"If you can't hurt once, you can do it twice, if you don't work twice, you will do it three times, and if you can't do it three times, you will kill him a thousand times!"
The hatred of the white snake is straightforward and undisguised, like a scorching fire in winter, which wants to roast everything and burn it all.
