Chapter 42: Snow and Fire
"Did he figure it out in the end? ahem, ahem. Xu Youcai asked curiously, coughing while asking, blood gushing out, and his face was like gold leaf.
Sun Li looked at Xu Youcai, who was already dying, nodded, and said softly, "He finally figured it out." ”
"Actually, neither the butterfly nor Zhuang Zhou exists, they are both a dream. Butterflies are Zhuang Zhou's dreams, and Zhuang Zhou is the dreams of butterflies, all of which are illusory and ethereal. ”
And both butterflies and Zhuang Zhou exist, because butterflies are dreamed of by Zhuang Zhou, and Zhuang Zhou is dreamed of by butterflies, both are real and accurate. ”
Zhuang Zhou understood, the whole life is just a big dream, it is a dream of another self. So you don't need to be scared at all now, you don't need to be afraid. To be dead is to be awake. When you wake up, you will find that it is just a dream. Sun Li turned his head and looked at the night in the distance again, and said in a faint voice.
"...... said It's so complicated, I hear it all...... Confused. However, I understand one thing, and that is that it is really ...... Dream. Xu Youcai said weakly, his breathing had become difficult, and then he stretched out his hand and looked at Sun Li with expectation, "So, benefactor, can you pull me up, I want to see if I can fly in my dream?"
"Yes. Sun Li responded, and then stretched out his hand and pulled towards Xu Youcai. As a result, just when the hands of the two people were about to touch, Xu Youcai's body suddenly shook, his hands hung down weakly, and his breathing disappeared quickly.
Sun Li's hand stopped in place, looked at Xu Youcai expressionlessly, for a long time, turned his head to look at the surrounding night and said to himself: "Elder Huo, I hope what you said at the beginning that 'death in the trial will not really die' is true, otherwise you will regret it." ”
After the words were closed, Sun Li drew his long sword and began to dig a pit in silence in the snow.
After digging the pit, Sun Li put Xu Youcai's body into the pit and buried it little by little.
After that, Sun Li sat down next to the grave with his head bowed, and then pondered, pondering what was wrong.
Why can't you find the monster guarding the pass at all, why did Xu Youcai die of illness inexplicably, isn't this trial according to the ancient gossip, isn't this level the hurdle in the ancient gossip?
What the hell is going on, what are you ignoring?
Sun Li thought like this, always thinking of the sun rising in the east, and always thinking of the sun hanging high in the sky.
Then there was the sound of stumbling footsteps, which came from afar.
Sun Li slowly raised his head and looked into the distance, and saw Li Qing'er's figure appearing, walking towards him quickly, and his movements were indescribably flustered.
Sun Li could clearly see that Li Qing'er almost fell down several times, but she continued to run towards her at an unabated speed, and finally stopped three feet away from her.
"Sun Li?" Li Qing'er lowered her head and spoke, her tone a little uncertain.
Sun Li's brows furrowed slightly, and he looked at Li Qing'er seriously, and then saw the other party's closed eyes.
"What's wrong with your eyes?"
"I ......" Li Qing'er hesitated a little, but finally said it, "My eyes can't see anything." ”
"Really?"
"Really, I can't see anything. Li Qing'er said in a calm tone, but Sun Li could hear a trace of panic that was tried to hide in the calm.
It's no wonder, after all, no matter who has experienced sudden blindness, they will be afraid, let alone in this trial.
"How?"
"I don't know, it's just walking and walking, and suddenly I can't see it, and then I ...... I'm coming for you. Li Qing'er said.
Sun Li nodded, stood in place and did not move, but his brows furrowed a little, and finally wrinkled into a pimple. Because Sun Li looked at Li Qing'er who appeared in front of him, he suddenly remembered something, a very strange thing, which might have a huge impact on his entire plan to get back the heart of the tree.
As a result, Sun Li's gaze became sharp little by little.
"Are you ......" Li Qing'er keenly felt the change in the atmosphere, couldn't help but take a step back, and asked vigilantly, "What do you want to do?"
"What do you want to do?"
"What do you mean?" Li Qing'er was puzzled.
"What do you mean, I mean you're not telling the truth. ”
"I'm telling the truth, I'm not lying to you. Li Qing'er said loudly, wanting to prove her innocence.
"It's really all the truth, and there's nothing to hide?"
"Nope. Li Qing'er said with certainty, "Since I separated from you yesterday, I have been walking towards the northeast and have not encountered anything." Knowing that this morning, suddenly I couldn't see it, so I walked back to you. ”
"Well, let me ask you, how did you find me exactly?"
"Ah!" Li Qing'er's body suddenly shook and stopped talking.
But Sun Li said with a calm face: "From the position that we separated yesterday, it only takes a few dozen miles to here, how can you find this place so accurately? Can you accurately estimate the speed of my walking, the time of walking and resting?"
"Even if you are extremely intelligent and can count all of this, but you tell me, how can you walk three feet in front of me without closing your eyes in the slightest, and then stop and call out my name?" Sun Li's tone increased.
"If I'm not mistaken, I didn't make any sound at all, and even the slightest breathing was drowned out by the cold wind around me, so it's strange that you could find me, unless you could feel where I was from the time you were blind. If my guess is correct, you should have left something on me, something that will allow you to determine my location, tell me, what it is!" Sun Li said in a deep voice, "Now tell me, the matter still has to be discussed, otherwise ......"
"That's enough!" Li Qing'er suddenly roared loudly, then lifted up an object the size of a copper coin and threw it on the ground, "That's it, at the place where your back is close to your left shoulder, a pair of son and mother." I can feel the specific position of the one in you by leaning on the one in my hand. ”
Sun Li's eyes narrowed, and he took off his coat directly, and sure enough, he saw the same thing sticking to his clothes, and he didn't even notice it.
"When was it put there?"
"When we were separated before. ”
"When are you going to put it?"
"I don't know. ”
"So, until it is damaged or discovered?" Sun Li's face sank little by little, "No wonder you say you don't trust anyone, you look like this, and you won't be believed by anyone." I don't know what your intentions are, but to be honest, I'm disgusted by this little act of yours!"
After Sun Li finished speaking, he threw the positioning mark on his body on the snow, and smashed it together with which one of Li Qing'er had been before.
After doing this, Sun Li looked at Li Qing'er again, and saw that on the other party's face, there were two lines of dark red blood and tears flowing down - crying.
Sun Li was slightly stunned, but he didn't have any pity, originally because of Xu Youcai's death, he was in a very bad mood, and suddenly found that he was set as a mark on his body, and it was enough to be restrained if he wasn't angry.
At this time, crying is nothing, so Sun Li just glanced at it and said coldly: "The princess will cry too?"
"I didn't cry. Li Qing'er's voice was very cold and tough, but another line of blood and tears flowed out between the words.
"If you cry again, you're going to be really blind. ”
"Huh?" Li Qing'er was stunned for a moment, her tears stopped, and after being silent for a while, she suddenly asked extremely rationally, "Then according to your meaning, can you treat my eyes?"
"I don't know, but tell me about your blindness. Sun Li opened his mouth, hoping to get some information from Li Qing'er's mouth, so that he could figure out what was going on at this level.
"Specifically, I kept walking, and all of a sudden, I couldn't see anything. Li Qing'er replied expressionlessly, and then added coldly, "There is absolutely nothing to hide." ”
Sun Li frowned slightly, because nothing useful was drawn from Li Qing'er's words, it was nothing more than walking, and then he went blind in a flash......
Wait!
"What happened to you before you went blind, what did it feel like?" Sun Li asked suddenly.
"That's it...... It's just ......" Li Qing'er's face showed a reminiscing expression, and finally said with difficulty for a long time, "It's like the feeling of being illuminated by flames in the dark night, very bright and bright." ”
"The flames are bright?" Sun Li frowned, frowned deeply, pondered, and then suddenly raised his head and looked up, his body shook violently.
I don't know when, it's noon, and the big sun is overhead.
Countless snowflakes fell in the sky, shining dazzlingly under the sun's illumination, and Sun Li saw at a glance that it seemed like a sky full of flames falling into the sky.
Snowflakes and flames?
