Chapter 53: Life or Death
Lin Yizhi and the woman in yellow clothes broke off drinking, but there was a sad sneer like a female ghost in the dense forest again, which sounded like a deep bone. However, it is very different from the dreamlike scenery around it.
What is surprising is that no matter how the poignant sneer like a female ghost echoes in the dense forest, the butterflies and bees flying among the flowers, and the fireflies that shine like stars in mid-air, all seem to have not heard at all, and they are not affected at all.
The sound of terrible laughter and this dream-like scenery, two things that are incompatible, somehow appear here at the same time, as if hell and heaven were just a thought.
Lin Yizhi also felt that this place was quite weird, and heard Fang Cai's voice say that this dense forest is called the Soul Redemption Forest. Then he asked the yellow-robed woman in a low voice, "Auntie, have you heard the name of the Soul Redemption Forest?"
The woman in the yellow dress shook her head, her eyes were very guarded, and she said in a low voice: "It's the first time I've heard of this name, I've been to a lot of strange and small wonders over the years, but I've never heard of this name." It's just Lin Yizhi, you have to be more careful, the beauty here is too unreal, although I haven't been here, but since ancient times, the more beautiful and beautiful things are, the more dangerous they are. ”
Lin Yizhi thought so, and quietly sacrificed the Chixiao Sword. The flames of the Chixiao Sword shone brightly, reflecting the acacia buckle of the woman in yellow clothes in mid-air.
The two of them were much more at ease at this time, and they walked side by side, staring nervously at the surrounding environment with two pairs of eyes, even if there was a hint of wind and grass, they couldn't escape their eyes.
If it seems to outsiders, the demeanor and pace of these two people are too inexplicable. Surrounded by a sea of flowers and trees, the surrounding scenery is as beautiful as a dream, but the two of them do not feel comfortable at all, and every step seems to be like a great enemy.
The two walked all the way, as if this beautiful and dreamlike place was more tormenting than the sea of swords.
The two walked about a few hundred steps, and the scenery in front of them was already green trees and red flowers, bees surrounded by butterflies, the waning moon was like a hook, and the silver glow was shining.
In mid-air, the fireflies moved lightly. Lin Yizhi actually had an uncontrollable feeling that the more he walked inside, the more beautiful the scenery became.
There was nothing out of the ordinary except for the deep and twisting, coiled thick vines that became more and more numerous and denser.
The deeper you go, the twisted and thick vines that are twisted together become more and more like an endless net that supports the sky, covering this beautiful place as a head, and even the only hook of waning moon in the sky that shines with moonlight looms among the intertwined vines like a web.
However, along the way, the more beautiful the scenery, the more Lin Yizhi felt that the scenery was more and more unreal, and there must be a huge crisis hidden behind this beauty.
Lin Yizhi didn't know what the crisis was, but he always believed that before the hour came, the crisis in the dark was like a poisonous snake circling its body, watching his and the woman's every move with cold eyes, ready to launch the deadliest attack when they relaxed a little.
The two of them walked like this, neither of them spoke, but the distance was getting closer and closer, until finally, each could clearly hear each other's heartbeats.
When the expression is tense, time always seems extremely long, and every breath seems to be torment. Lin Yizhi felt that he had been walking in this unreal scenery for a long time.
However, the first ethereal and empty sound from this dense forest never sounded again.
It's as if this place is really ordinary, a place of pure beauty. And the so-called empty voice and the miserable laughter of the female ghost are all hallucinations of Lin Yizhi's appearance, imaginary out of thin air.
Until the end, even Lin Yizhi really felt that those weird things were imagined by himself, or that there was some illusion.
The deeper they went, the more Lin Yizhi and the woman in the yellow dress felt as if they had fallen into a painting, no matter how they walked, they couldn't get out, although the scenery in front of them was beautiful, it seemed that there had never been the slightest change, the same thing, the same light.
Lin Yizhi even noticed that every time he stopped to look around, even the position of the bees in front of him among the flowers was the same every time.
It's like two people who have been walking, but the things in front of them have never disappeared, and from the first glance, they have always been like this eternal.
No, if there is no change, it is not really. The vines on the trees that towered into the sky were more and more, denser and denser, covering the sky and the moon, and in the end there was no gap, which made people feel a little in a state of mind.
In an instant, Lin Yizhi even had an illusion, these countless tree vines that were entwined and twisted together seemed to have life in an instant, like a blood-stained ghost, tearing at himself with teeth and claws.
But when he rubbed his eyes vigorously and looked at the vines in the air, they did not make the slightest sound of movement except for the thicker and thicker ones.
In addition to these, Lin Yizhi and the woman in yellow clothes felt at the same time that their hearing was instantly deprived of hearing from the moment they entered this beautiful and deadly dense forest.
Because, since they entered here, they haven't heard anything related to any sound. It's like literally losing your hearing. If it weren't for the fact that two people could hear each other's heartbeats, they might have really believed it.
It's not a loss of hearing, it's that here, in this dream-like landscape, there is not the slightest sound. Even if it's a butterfly bee or a firefly flying leisurely, no matter how you vibrate your wings, it's so weird and silent.
It's a world where you don't know what sound is. It's like a silent hell of great beauty and dreams.
However, no matter how beautiful it is, it is still hell. Hell without borders.
As time passed, Lin Yizhi and the woman in yellow clothes felt more and more like two ghosts lost in hell, no matter how beautiful this place was, they were just walking endlessly, not knowing where to go.
In fact, they have no idea that they are already on the verge of extreme danger. If they don't wake up very early, maybe they will eventually go on aimlessly until their souls are gone.
To redeem the soul, is it to redeem the soul, or to buy it for others?
In the midst of this beautiful desperate situation, it is clearly the latter. The Chixiao Sword and Acacia Buckle in mid-air felt that the aura and vitality of their masters were getting weaker and weaker at the same time, and they both continued to roar and tremble, wanting to wake up their sleeping souls.
However, nothing worked. Lin Yizhi and the woman in yellow clothes unconsciously began to become hollow, as if they were more and more withdrawn from their bodies and never came back.
"Wake up quickly, wake up quickly...... At the last moment, a hurried voice suddenly came from the depths of Lin Yizhi's soul, which was very familiar, but in this chaotic state, Lin Yi couldn't remember who it was for a while.
However, this voice can really break through the barrier of the illusion and hit Lin Yizhi's soul. In an instant, Lin Yizhi woke up.
Cold sweat rained down on the back of his clothes.
Lin Yizhi hurriedly turned his head to look at the woman in yellow clothes, but saw that she was standing behind him, her whole body seemed to be trembling, and her two hands as white as jade were also tightly clenched together, as if they were very sad and painful.
Unable to take care of much, Lin Yizhi hurriedly stepped forward and called loudly: "Auntie, aunt wake up, wake up quickly, wake up quickly......"
But no matter how Lin Yizhi shouted, the woman in yellow clothes was still like this, as if she couldn't hear it at all.
There was no way, Lin Yizhi said in a low voice that he was offended, and without hesitation, his hands kept shaking the shoulders of the woman in yellow clothes.
However, even so, except for the corner of the veil occasionally raised under Lin Yizhi's shaking, the woman in yellow was still standing like that, but Lin Yizhi felt that her hand was clenched tighter, and the whole figure had never been painful and helpless.
Lin Yizhi was at a loss and didn't know what time to do. He knew that he couldn't let the woman in yellow clothes go on like this, otherwise her consciousness would really never come back.
Looking at her appearance, it seems that she has entered some kind of illusion, but what is it that makes her so painful and helpless?
Lin Yizhi suddenly thought that if he knew a lot about the woman in yellow clothes in front of him, he might be able to use his soul to influence her mind and guide her out of this illusion. But Lin Yizhi also thought like this, and became more and more annoyed.
In addition to knowing that this yellow-robed woman wanted to have an extremely noble status, she was by no means comparable to an ordinary disciple like him, as if she was respected by the group of wicked people in the Nine Heavens Emperor Jue Palace. Other than that, Lin Yizhi couldn't think of anything related to the woman in the yellow dress anymore.
For a moment, Lin Yizhi was sweating profusely.
However, in the past ten years, Lin Yizhi has never thought of giving up under any circumstances. Maybe he is stubborn by nature, or maybe he knows how to cherish it better than anyone else in the face of fresh life.
Because, he once watched the life of his beloved ones disappear and was powerless.
Therefore, when he has even a little strength, he does not allow the lives of people he knows to disappear easily in front of his eyes.
Death, what a vulgar and dirty word, life, what a boring and beautiful hope.
Some people say that they have never hated this boring life like they hated anything, but only Lin Yizhi knows that when facing death, no matter how boring life it once was, it makes people want to desperately grasp it and don't want to let go.
People are always like this, when they are born, they are muddy, and in the face of death, they die evil to life.
Therefore, Lin Yizhi did not hesitate at all, never.
I, want, save, her!
Without hesitation for half a breath, Lin Yizhi half-squatted down in front of the woman in yellow clothes, and then put her slender arms on his shoulders, so that her whole person was lying on her back in the most comfortable position.
Then he wrapped his arms around her, holding her unconscious stiff body. After doing this, Lin Yizhi carefully bowed his body, carried her on his back, and slowly took the first step.
Then, the second step......
Step 3.
Step 4.
He carried her on his back as if he were carrying the whole world.
He muttered to the yellow-robed woman leaning on his back, "Auntie...... The scenery here is beautiful, but no matter how beautiful it is, remember to come back, and wake up when you've seen enough......"
"Auntie...... I'll take you out there......"
In the beautiful scenery like a dream, the young man carried the shadow of the yellow dress that seemed to be asleep, walking step by step, as if he never knew tiredness.
It's just, no matter how many steps, a thousand steps, ten thousand steps, no matter how many steps he walked. The scenery before him did not change in the slightest except for the growing number of tangled vines.
The same sea of flowers and green forests, the same bees and butterflies stay in the same position.
Suddenly, the voice that had been silent for a long time seemed to come again from the dark underground: "You are doing this in vain, and in the end, even if you really walk out of this forest of redemption, the woman behind you will not wake up......"
When Lin Yizhi heard this, he stopped and stood still, looking around with cold eyes, but he didn't find the slightest trace of the person who spoke.
Then he said expressionlessly: "What if you don't wake up? The world is so big, I don't believe there is no way to wake her up......"
The voice seemed to laugh lightly and said: "You two, you broke into my forest of soul redemption, and you are not of my race, and your heart is unpredictable, and this is also your own fault." I don't dare to say that in this world, no one can wake her up. In the Valley of the Poison Doctor, there is a man named Shi Wuji, who is a deceitful doctor and may be able to wake her up. But even so, this woman will surely die!"
Lin Yizhi was puzzled, and said coldly: "Why is this?"
The voice laughed and said, "I thought you knew everything...... For the sake of your infatuation with this woman......"
Lin Yizhi's face turned red, and he said coldly: "What nonsense...... This is one of my seniors, and I always call her aunt!"
The voice smiled and said, "Senior?aunt?hehe, you are really stupid." How many crazy men and women in this world have deep roots, but they don't know it. Until life and death part. Between life and death, you can only understand, and even if you understand, what's the use? On that basis I will tell you why this woman must die!"
The voice said to itself, "Do you know why the place where Wuji lives at this time is called the Valley of the Poison Doctor, not the Valley of the Doctor Immortals?"
Without waiting for Lin Yizhi to answer, he said again: "That's because Shi Wuzhi sometimes heals the hearts of the people, saves the people, and sometimes is ruthless and careless of human life." The old man gave him the word 'poison doctor', but he gladly accepted it, and simply changed the place where he lived to the poison doctor valley. He has a quirk by nature, and saving people's lives is even more with his temperament, can you say that he can come to the rescue? Moreover, this woman in yellow clothes can't extricate herself from the illusion, even if you take her out of here, she still can't get out of the illusion. This place is a million miles away from the Western Poison Doctor Valley, and I'm afraid that this woman is already dead before you arrive......"
Lin Yizhi was speechless for a long time when he heard this, and the voice didn't sound again, as if he was waiting for Lin Yizhi to ......
Finally, Lin Yizhi looked up at the sky-covering tree vines that were already as dense as spider webs, and asked in a deep voice: "Do you know that she is called a holy aunt by the people of the Nine Heavens Emperor Jue Palace, and it seems that the people of the Nine Heavens Emperor Jue Hall are also quite jealous of her. If you don't shoot her, if she dies, you won't be able to explain!"
The voice was a little disappointed, and a little puzzled: "Are you threatening me?" but I don't understand, what is the place of the Nine Heavens Emperor Jue Palace, but I have never heard of it......
Lin Yizhi originally thought that the person hiding in the shadows must be the accomplice of the red-clothed night walker, but he heard that Su Zhi say that the red-clothed night walker should be involved with the people of the Nine Heavens Emperor Jue Palace, so he deliberately said this, so that the people hiding in the shadows would have some worries in their hearts.
But what Lin Yizhi didn't expect was that this person who was hidden in the shadows seemed unmoved, and he also flatly denied knowing the person from the Nine Heavens Emperor Jue Palace, Lin Yizhi sighed secretly and asked again: "So, do you have any way to get her out of this predicament......
The voice sounded again, but the sense of drift was even worse, and it seemed to say with a bit of temptation and fanaticism: "But there is only one way, it just depends on whether you are reluctant or not, whether you are willing to ......."
Lin Yizhi nodded and said, "You said to listen to it......"
The voice nodded, "Very well, I already said at the earliest time that this is the Forest of Redemption of Souls. You must sacrifice your soul in order to redeem the original world, otherwise you will fall into this endless jungle forever and will not enter the ...... of samsara."
The voice paused, suddenly became a little heavier, and floated over the entire Soul Redemption Forest: "In this world, some people live, and some people die, the cycle of life and death, this is karma. Therefore, if you save her, replace the soul she left here with your own soul. In this way, she can walk out alive and you die forever in this beauty. Life or death, a word!"
Lin Yizhi lowered his head, as if he was considering his proposal. The voice suddenly sounded again, but this time it was not as calm as Fang Cai, and there was even a little urgency: "How about it, young man, what are you thinking about? Tell me! Life or death, what choice do you make!"
Lin Yizhi didn't answer immediately, just put down the woman in yellow clothes from her back, leaned against an ancient tree, and said in a low voice: "Auntie, don't be afraid, I won't throw your ......"
After that, he raised his head and laughed.
The laughter was clear, without the slightest melancholy or hesitation.
The voice was a little surprised: "What are you laughing at?
Lin Yizhi nodded and said, "Yes, I already have the answer." I choose - raw!"
There was some regret in the voice: "Okay...... It's just that I pity this woman......"
Lin Yizhi's eyes suddenly appeared a trace of weirdness that he had never seen before, and said coldly: "You are wrong...... My choice is two people...... All alive!"
As he spoke, he yelled: "Chixiao, smash this broken place for me!"
As soon as the word came out, the killing machine suddenly appeared.
With a roar, Chixiao turned into flames and quickly expanded. All of a sudden, the vines that covered the sky and the sun in mid-air seemed to be burning in the blazing flames of the red sky.
The flames are raging, and they want to burn the sky!
