Chapter 30: Past Life
The stone walls twisted and twisted forward, and the humid air carried a faint fishy smell. The deeper you go, the quieter it becomes, and gradually you can't even hear the sound of the sea stirring, only the sound of each other's heartbeats remains.
After a short time, he walked to the end of the stone wall, and on the other side of the stone wall, countless points of light lit up above his head, illuminating this space brightly.
Suddenly, a woman's voice sounded, "Xiao Lang, I don't know if this Kun beast can take you to the Nine Shadows Abyss, but I will always wait for you there until you find me" The voice was gentle, but there was indescribable sadness in it.
Ji Ping's heart tightened, and the hand in his sleeve was already holding the jade flute and secretly said, could it be that there are still people here, but looking at it, this space is not large, and you can see it all at a glance, but it is empty. I was shocked.
"Did you hear anything?" Ji Ping asked in a low voice, frightened by the people in the cave.
Ming Hainan turned around and glanced at Ji Ping, a little inexplicable, and said coldly: "No" After speaking, he continued to walk forward.
The stone cave was unusually bright, and the woman's voice kept echoing in his ears, but Ming Hainan in front didn't hear it, he began to think it was an illusion, but it was so real, so real that he could feel the bitterness in the voice. It seems so familiar. He subconsciously stretched out his hand to grab Ming Hainan, but he didn't pull under this pull, but instead took him forward.
The depths were a little brighter, no longer damp and abnormal, and the fishy smell of the sea water disappeared, but there was a faint fragrance, floating in the air as if it were nothing.
Ji Ping tugged on Ming Hainan's sleeve a few more times, but there was still no response, he felt that something was wrong, so he took two steps forward to block in front of Ming Hainan. But seeing Ming Hainan pointing to the front with a smile on his face and saying, "Xiao Lang, the front is my boudoir" Ji Ping was shocked, and the cold sweat instantly remained, and there was some complaint in this gentle voice, and there was no coldness, this was clearly the voice of the woman he heard just now. And Ming Hainan's face that should have been as cold as ice turned out to be full of smiles.
turned around, and sure enough, it was a woman's boudoir.
The boudoir is very simple, with a blue curtain hanging on the white jade stone bed, which is still as good as new after many years. Next to the white jade bed was a stone table, on which were neatly placed some jade slips and a bronze mirror.
Before Ji Ping could see the whole picture of the boudoir clearly, the somewhat cold hand gently grabbed his hand and pulled it straight to the stone bed. I didn't even have the slightest intention of resisting.
It was so familiar, had it been seen before, but I couldn't remember it.
"Smack"
The crisp voice sounded, and Ji Ping only felt a hot pain on his face.
I don't know when Ming Hainan has already stood up, and his pale face has returned to a cold expression. The anger in his eyes seemed to erupt at any moment.
Ji Ping innocently touched his aching cheeks, and said a little angrily: "Why did you beat me?" But this argument was so weak.
"You deserve it," Ming Hainan said coldly.
Ji Ping saw that she was so rude, and he didn't pay attention to it and walked straight out, the moment he turned around, he suddenly saw the bronze mirror on the table, and the bronze mirror reflected a bright and smiling face, which was exactly the same as Ming Hainan's Fang Cai, he turned around sharply, looked at Ming Hainan, and saw her looking coldly in the mirror, her expression was completely different. Then he looked at himself in the mirror again, and it was the person he saw in his confusion.
Ji Ping pointed to the bronze mirror, "This...... This...... Bronze mirrors have quirks. ”
Ming Hainan heard Ji Ping's surprised voice, and also looked in the mirror, but did not find anything unusual. Then he said coldly: "Inexplicable." ”
The jade slip on the table suddenly lit up at some point, Ming Hainan stepped forward to pick up the dark blue jade slip, and suddenly the blue light was sheng, and three words appeared on the jade slip "Yin Qianqian" The back of the jade slip was engraved with the water tribe. She hurriedly picked up another piece, which was engraved with yin and yang, Xiao Tianqing. Ming Hainan was stunned for a moment, and muttered, "It turns out that the legend is true." ”
When Ji Ping heard her say this, he asked curiously, "What legend?"
Ming Hainan seemed to be a little apologetic for the impulse just now, and said patiently between the words: "According to legend, when the heavens and the earth first opened, natural disasters continued, and the great god Nuwa formed a five-colored stone with divine power to make up for the lack of heaven, and the sky has been filled with a five-colored stone and still has a five-colored stone left, which fell into the mortal world. Since then, Yin and Yang have been parallel to the five races, and many methods have originated from these five-colored stones. This five-colored stone has the divine power of anti-heaven - immortality. But no one has really done it for thousands of years. Later, I don't know why the five-color stone was broken apart, divided into three different strange stones, one can suppress thousands of fierce souls, called the soul stone, one can reflect the three lives of the past life, known as the three-life stone, and one is obtained by the Qingdi of the five clans, so it is called the Qingdi soul stone"
Hearing the words "Blue Emperor Soul Stone", Ji Ping suddenly took a few steps back, he reached out and touched his chest, the Blue Emperor Soul Stone was still there. The Blue Emperor Soul Stone seemed to be induced, emitting a faint coolness.
Suddenly, Ji Ping's heart was shocked, and the woman's voice appeared in his ears again, as if he was talking to himself, "I've been to Tianji Mountain, she is indeed very beautiful, and she must love you very much" "It's been a hundred years, I don't know how long I can live, I play your favorite tune on this beach every day, I don't know when you can come back to see me" "Another hundred years have passed, the peach blossoms on the shore are beautiful, but I'm old, I think you must not want to see me now, don't wait, let's leave"
Ji Ping stood in place in a daze, letting the voice echo in his ears, as if he was the person the woman was waiting for, he looked at Ming Hainan affectionately, and had the urge to take the cold woman in front of him into his arms.
A slight coolness traveled all over the body again, Ji Ping suddenly came to his senses, and the woman's sour voice gradually drifted away. He shook his head and saw that Ming Hainan's face was pale, so he said, "This place is too weird, let's find a way to get out of here first." ”
Ming Hainan snorted and said, "Let's look around and there may be another way out, this is not far from the shore, even if we can't resist the sword, we can swim to the shore." ”
The two left the woman's boudoir and searched the perimeter. All around this place are hard stone walls, and the stone walls are rough, and there is nothing unusual to see. I searched all around, but there was no other exit except the way I came. After repeating it several times, there was still no way. The two looked at each other, shook their heads in frustration, and sat down along the wall.
I don't know how much time has passed since entering the belly of this kun fish, there is no day or night here, as if it has been like this for all eternity, and the only thing left is the hunger and endless despair of the two of them.
Ji Ping still didn't give up looking for the stone wall again, maybe this was the last time he was looking, so he was extra serious, he touched the stone wall inch by inch with his hand, and slowly moved forward. Suddenly stopped, carefully looked at the place he had just touched, and then brushed the dust off it with his sleeve, and the dust was brushed away, revealing a little blue color, as if a piece of jade was very different from this black stone wall.
Ji Ping was overjoyed and hurriedly shouted, "What is this?"
Hearing this, Ming Hainan walked over, looked at it for a moment, and stretched out her hand to wipe it off where it seemed to be blue jade, the moment her fingertips touched the blue jade, the blue light was great in an instant. Then cracks appeared in this stone wall, and the pumice stone on it began to peel off little by little.
Ming Hainan held the blue jade hard and pulled it out, and in an instant, the blue light in the sky suppressed all the light, reflecting this space into a blue color like sea water.
It turned out to be a blue sword, the body of the sword was simple and slender, and at first glance it was a woman's thing. There was a buzzing sound from the blade, and there seemed to be some cheering.
The sword has been pulled out of the stone wall, and the surface of the stone wall is shattered, and suddenly several blue lights are lit up, and rows of cyan words appear on the wall, and there is a tendency to rise to the sky. "Yin and yang, the five elements are one, it is eternal life" is the feeling of déjà vu. Ji Ping continued to look down, every word was so familiar, and he even suspected that these words were written by himself.
"Impossible, fallacy, yin and yang are relative, non-yin is yang, non-yang is yin, how can we say that they are mutually beneficial!" Ming Hainan looked at the words on the stone wall stupidly, his eyes were full of incredulity.
Ji Ping was also very suspicious when he heard Ming Hainan's words, he was already familiar with the Supreme Mind Method of the Soul Sect, and the text here was faintly in the same way as the Soul Sect Mind Method, but there were also many contradictions. Moreover, between the lines, there is a kind of unruly, even frenzy of fighting for life with the sky, which is frightening. What's more, the reincarnation of the Heavenly Dao, how can it tolerate people who go against the sky.
Despite this, this text is about the art of immortality, which has been an ethereal legend for thousands of years, and no one knows how to live forever. Such arrogant secret techniques point out the path to immortality, and whether it is right or wrong, its mystery is naturally ancient and modern.
After a moment, Ji Ping shook his head and closed his eyes to stop looking at those words, thinking to himself, even if he can really make people immortal, what is the use of me wanting this immortality? All I want is to return to that village and meet the people I want to see, is this wish more difficult than immortality?
Although he no longer thought about the words, they were always around him like a floating elf. Ji Ping opened his eyes again, and the words on the wall disappeared, but the figure of the woman appeared. There was another man standing next to the woman, and this man was like himself in the mirror.
Ji Ping said "ah", took a few steps back, and looked to the side, but saw that Ming Hainan was still staring at the stone wall in fascination, with a sad look in her eyes, it turned out that she was also similar to the woman reflected in the stone wall.
"Xiao Lang, let's get out of here, don't pay attention to the troubles of this world, even if you go to the cape and the sky, I will accompany you" The woman in the stone wall looked at the man affectionately and whispered.
The man stood on the side of the stone wall with his hands in his hands, his head bowed and he did not speak for a long time, as if he was struggling in his heart. After a while, the man finally raised his head, his eyes were full of determination, and said: "Qianqian, I will fail you in this life after all, if I don't marry her, Yin and Yang will fight, and then there will be chaos in the sect, and disaster will affect the common people, how can I be worthy of their trust under the netherworld."
The woman took two steps back, tears in her eyes, and suddenly burst into laughter.
"The world is alive, good, good, good" actually said three good words in a row before stopping, and tears were already flowing out of the corners of his eyes.
"You go, you don't have to see you again in this life"
The man was stunned for a moment, his expression was gloomy, and he returned to normal in an instant, and he actually used his fingers to carve on the stone wall, and the blood left unruly words on the stone wall.
"At the beginning, you and I practiced the art of immortality together, and now I will engrave the law of yin and yang on this stone wall, if you can cultivate immortality, please be kind to the yin and yang sect"
After speaking, he took out the jade flute from his body, put it in front of the woman, and said, "What you gave me at the beginning, return it to you, take care!"
The woman lowered her head and didn't look at the man, and the man stood up after a long time, tears on his face were dry, and he muttered to himself: "Xiao Lang, what's the use of wanting this immortal life without you?"
For a moment, the picture flickered, like a mighty wind blowing across the lake, rippling and disappearing.
Ji Ping sighed, and suddenly felt bitter in his heart, it turned out that they were infatuated people. Turning to look at Ming Hainan, he saw that she was still staring at the wall motionless, with a teardrop hanging from the corner of her eye.
"You're finally back," the woman's voice sounded again, but it was ethereal, but it didn't come from nowhere, and the voice was getting quieter and quieter, as if it was far away.
Before the sound had just disappeared, the stone wall collapsed, and the hard rock turned to powder. Scattered on the ground with the wind blowing from nowhere.
Where does the wind come from?
Ji Ping looked in the direction where the wind was blowing. I don't know when, there was a hole there, and you could see the blue sky and white clouds.
