Chapter 156
Chapter 156
Rhinoceros incense was burning in the room, Lian Wu poured two cups of tea, one of which was pushed in front of him, "You come to me, are you afraid that I will do something to you?"
"I'm afraid," Song Minhuan replied, the fragrance of the tea floated up, the hot air lingered, and the tea leaves below floated away.
It's one thing to be afraid, but Lian Wu is also from the Gate of Twelve Nights, so he might know some clues, so he came anyway.
"I came to you to ask you a few questions, and I wonder if you would like to answer them."
He noticed the folding fan in Lian Wu's hand. It painted a colorful phoenix perched on a phoenix branch. The colorful phoenix spread its wings and stepped on the phoenix branch.
"You know that I'm not from the realm. I came here to find Jun Yuenu's real body."
Song Minhuan got straight to the point, and said to him, "Outside, Gongzi Lan, Feng Yuan, Mu Yin, we, Jun Yuenu, Lan Pipa... Shuozhou, Bai Jingtang, we will oppose them."
"Now Young Master Lan and Feng Yuan are waiting for me outside the phantom formation, here...is the phantom formation 3000 years ago."
There was a cool breeze blowing in outside the window, with the breath of spring, he didn't know if the other party would believe what he said.He decided to tell the truth after weighing it. Since he wants to ask the other party a question, it is more appropriate to tell the truth directly.
"It's quite expected," Lian Wu looked out of the window, there was a sycamore tree growing outside the window, he closed the folding fan in his hand, and laughed.
"Let me tell you this, I know this is a phantom formation. For so many years, people have come in every few years. Few of them can go out. Many pedestrians you saw on the street...they were originally from abroad. man of."
Lian Wu said softly: "Do you know why?"
Song Minhuan listened quietly, and replied, "Because they will gradually forget the past and become one with the phantom array."
"That's right," Lian Wu turned his gaze to him, "They forget the past, and soon have new experiences and new bonds here, and the people here are also flesh and blood, many of them are willing to stay here... yes I choose to forget."
"People are not grass and trees, those fetters will connect them like lotus roots, this is also the scary part of the phantom array, those who have last wishes will make their last wishes here, even if it is still a chaotic world... even if the world is not peaceful, but this It's more like the real thing."
"They will get what they want most here... It's like a dream, even if they have a difficult life, but they get what they want most, how many people are willing to give up and leave?"
"Even if it's you..."
Lian Wu's eyes were like deep pools, and his voice seemed to come from far away, "You are deceiving yourself, your heart is hard to miss...Here, there is someone you want to see."
"Jun Yuenu's real body is not hard to find, it's because you haven't completely let go of it, and you don't want to see the truth clearly."
"You're running away."
The voice fell, and the person on the other side disappeared.
The sycamore branches outside the window were still shaking, outside, Song Minhuan lowered his eyes, he gently held the teacup with his fingertips, his drooping eyelashes covered the emotions in his eyes.
It's difficult to read...it's not the case.
What Lian Wu said did make him fall into confusion for a moment.He looked out of the window, the clouds beyond the window could not be seen at a glance, the teacup on the table was still steaming, everything seemed real.
He sat alone by the window for an unknown how long, but remembering his current status, he couldn't come out for too long.
The disturbing thoughts were suppressed, Song Minhuan put down the teacup and propped it from the edge of the window, there was a slight movement in the yard.
The figure of the young man was still slender and straight, his figure elongated under the setting sun, his back was cold and lonely.
There was silence in the room, and the teacup slowly cooled down. After the figure of the young man disappeared, two figures appeared beside the coffee table.
Lian Wu stood by the tea table, looked away from the window, and a black shadow loomed beside him.
"You said this to him, maybe he was originally determined, but you said that, so he was shaken instead."
"Shaking is not necessarily a bad thing, it's better than deceiving yourself."
Lian Wu laughed, with a slight sigh in his tone, "Break it before you stand... He can only go out if he recognizes his own heart."
"Hopefully he doesn't get stuck like the guys before him."
Qi Yeluo let out a laugh in his voice, "Arrogant wants to torture him, I'm afraid he won't have the chance to go out."
"If I'm right, it won't be long."
"The savior will naturally be rougher than ordinary people, and the selection of him by us means that only he can kill us."
Lian Wu shook his head, held the folding fan and gently unfolded it, touched the edge of the fan with his fingertips, and slightly curled up the corners of his lips.
"I don't know... who does he want to see, Young Master Lan? He has the Tongtian Halberd in his palm."
……
Song Minhuan returned to the dark kiln, a dozen of them lived in a room.The house was small and dilapidated, and the corners were damp and musty. Some slaves were thrown here when they were sick, and they would be thrown out after a few days after they died of illness.
It was night when he got back, and since he came back late, he didn't have his supper and he didn't really need to eat.When the door was closed, a cold wind came in, and someone coughed lowly in the corner.
The night was quiet and silent, he turned over on the bed, and some people whispered together, mixed with the sound of the wooden bed turning over, the rustling of mice in the corner, the sandalwood window being shaken by blowing, and someone complaining in a low voice .
In front of him was the pitch-black beams. The house was built so low that he could touch the beams with his hand.
Such a night passed quickly, and the next morning before dawn, he was awakened by a scream.
He hadn't fallen asleep in the first place, but he opened his eyes. Someone lit a candle in the room, and the sound came from the boy sleeping in the corner.He slept with another teenager. The two were sent here together, and they seemed to be from the same hometown.
The other boy was infected with evil spirits, he was only a little weak yesterday, but he was gone today.
"Qi Shan..." The boy's voice was full of tears, "Don't scare me...wake up, wake up...don't sleep."
The young man pushed by him was pale and faintly purple. There were fine lines of evil spells on his face, like black flames tattooed on it. His eyes were closed and his face was serene.
Song Minhuan glanced over, and his eyes fell on the crying young man, who was also infected with evil spirits.
This kind of evil is not difficult to get rid of, but 3000 years ago, the human race had not discovered the herbal medicine to remove the evil, and after being injured by the evil, they could only survive by forcefully.
Few survived.
Several people have died in the past few days, two were tortured to death a few days ago, and another one passed away today.
Everyone's expressions were numb, and no one went to comfort the young man. They were busy with their own tasks, and when they woke up, they got up and went to work.If you go late, you may not have a meal.
Song Minhuan also got up, passed in front of the bed of the two, and went out without stopping.
"It's so miserable... Do you think this evil spirit will be contagious?"
"It shouldn't be. It's not like no one has been hit before. If it's contagious, the people in charge won't care... After all, we won't have anyone to work after we die."
There was sarcasm and a little indifference in their voices.
Song Minhuan walked behind, and they all went to the courtyard to listen to the arrangements for the new day. There was a corridor leading to it, and there were not many slaves like them.
I don't know what's going on in front of him, and there are discussions all around. He didn't stop, and continued to move forward. Suddenly, a figure bumped into him.
He dodged subconsciously, stretched out his hand to help the other party, his downcast eyes fell on the other party's wrist, and his eyes paused slightly.
It was covered with scald scars, and the other party was wearing a familiar dark shabby gown, covering his whole body tightly, with only a pair of eyes exposed.
"I didn't look at the road just now," the other party opened his mouth, his voice was still low and harsh, and his tone was full of sincere apology.
Song Minhuan held the dagger in his sleeve, his eyes slowly turned cold, the dagger was turned over in his hand, and the silver blade was aimed at the man's throat.
When the tip of his blade was about to touch the opponent's skin, the man suddenly moved, and his eyes lifted up, looking at him as if he were looking at something inanimate.
"It's useless to kill me, you can't get out."
After finishing speaking, Song Minhuan moved directly, the dagger pierced his skin, a white light overflowed in front of him, and a small wooden figure fell down where no one noticed.
The surrounding voices resumed, and with a "bang", Song Minhuan picked up the wooden figurine, stared at his palm for a while, and the little figurine turned into powder in his hands.
He stood up and walked out of the long corridor with a blank expression. Today, his task was to go to the ghost market to buy copper rings, and when he came back, he took the silver taels given by the manager and went out.
The city was very lively, and there were still a few days left for the sacrifice, and all evil spirits came here ahead of time.Hundreds of ghosts roamed the streets and alleys, and a lot of human races died in the past few days.
Song Minhuan saw the altar through the vermilion pavilion.It was a moon-shaped platform, carved out of cold jade, and underneath was the Sansheng River in the ghost town.The jade platform is filled with dense mantras, and there are heavy chains on the mantras. The chains seem to come from the sky, and the lacquer curse seals the gods underneath.
He listened to the news for a while, then took out the handkerchief in his jacket, stared at the words on it for a long time, and then went back the same way.
On the way back, he went to the place where the tomb was repaired the day before, and there were herbs to relieve evil spirits there, so he went back to the small courtyard ahead of time.
The body of the dead boy had been dragged away. The boy who was alive had not looked well all day. He looked pale and hadn't recovered from the pain of his companion's death.
Song Minhuan gave the herbal medicine to the young man. Facing the young man's dull gaze, he finally couldn't bear it, so he spoke softly.
"Don't feel sorry for him. Here, death is a good thing... You are also infected with evil spirits. This herbal medicine can be cured. You can cook it yourself later."
He only said this, but he didn't say anything more to the young man's slightly stunned expression. Believe it or not, and whether he would like to drink or not, it's the other party's business.
There are still three days until the sacrifice, and Song Minhuan's palm is shining with a silver light. Inside is a thin long halberd. He recalled what Lian Wu said, and his eyes became far-reaching.
"Jun Yuenu's identity is not difficult to find... It's because you haven't let go of it completely, and you don't want to see the truth clearly."
"You're running away."
These two sentences echoed in his mind, the window was open, the sky outside was gloomy, the light in the room was very dark, and there were a few old cracks around the edges.
The young man took his herbs and stood still.He and the boy in the distance met their gazes. The boy's face was still pale, and he stood facing him.
He couldn't see the other person's face clearly, he just felt that the emotions in the other person's eyes were all covered up.
Standing in the shadows, the other party seemed to be integrated with the gray sky behind, the old Zhuge, and the entire phantom array.
