The mountains and forests were cold and turned into a wasteland in front of Charles' eyes in an instant.
The wind and sand soaked in the dark night, which made him feel cold, the chill spread all over his limbs, his teeth chattered from the cold, it was the boundless cold that rose from the bottom of his heart.
Charles had never felt such a severe fear. Even if he was trapped in an illusion with Jiang Yan that day, he just had the heart to advance and retreat together, fearless, but the deep meaning in the eyes of the familiar person in front of him now made him feel unfamiliar. He is afraid.
The desert was cold at night, without the shade of trees, Gong Shangcun's figure became more and more clear, and he quickly walked up to the two of them, sneering and sarcastic: "Is it fun?"
Charles didn't want to answer, he regarded him as nothing, just stared straight at Shen Sansi, trembling for a long time before getting up from the sand, and asked in a deep, hoarse voice: "Why..."
He doesn't understand and doesn't understand, obviously it shouldn't be like this, how could it be like this
Shen Sansi, how could he hurt him...
But the minutiae of the memories were also revealed, and the waves hit his heart. Charles only felt that his consciousness was confused, and the shame and anger of being betrayed gradually stagnated from the initial majesty, tearing his mind.
Shen Sansi didn't answer, Gong Shangcun sneered and stretched out his hand to Charles, but he pushed it away with his palm, and rolled a few steps away, covered in sand all over his body.
Gong Shangcun shouted angrily: "Now you are hypocritical again, it is clear that you are the one who made the attack!"
The aura on Shen Sansi's body suddenly changed, his eyes were icy cold: "Even if it's me, you can't move him."
After that, a shiny rope tied Charles' hands, Shen Sansi helped him up, and whispered: "Let's go."
Charles dodged his support, the shock in his heart still lingered for a long time, and he gritted his teeth and refused to look at him.
Shen Sansi didn't force it anymore, raised his hand slightly, and the sea of sand in front of him surged violently, revealing a dark hole, and the downward steps extended to the endless land.
Gritting his teeth, Gong Shangcun got up, and advanced into the entrance of the cave cursing. He said a lot at a very fast speed, but Charles could only hear one sentence clearly: "You dog, just wait for me..."
Thinking about it, Shen Sansi slapped him so hard just now that he was a little shaky when he walked, and it took him a few moments to adjust his breath before he could walk steadily.
Shen Sansi listened to the man swearing all the way, but he was not annoyed, but there was no superfluous expression on his face, just like a stone sculpture.
Charles couldn't help but look at him. In his memory, such deep thinking is extremely rare, and he has never seen it before. The low-dressed and flattering look seems to be just a layer of skin. After tearing it off, he can see Yes, is the real face.
This made him can't help but start to think about how true the Shen Sansi he once knew was true.
Or, not at all
The passage was cold and dark, and the three of them walked down the steps. Charles raised his eyes, and felt that the hole was like the mouth of an unknown monster, as if its sharp teeth would fall down in the next second, tearing him apart...
In the next second, there was a snap of fingers, and the lights on both sides of the corridor suddenly lit up.
Charles's eyelashes trembled slightly, he stopped for a moment, thought twice and put down his hands, but he still stood proudly in that cold look.
Gong Shangcun looked back: "Shen Sansi, why are you so crazy lighting so many lamps? You can't feel panic in this underground!"
Shen Sansi said without changing his expression: "Go your way."
Gong Shangcun knew he couldn't beat him, so he held back his anger and turned his head to continue walking. Charles didn't have the strength in his body to walk slowly, so he slowed down and waited after he pondered for a while without urging him.
After walking for half an hour, the long road came to an end. Charles sweated on his forehead. Looking at the huge stone gate in front of him, he finally felt that the toxins in his body had dissipated. Press the shoulders.
"It's useless. It's not poison but a Gu made by the evil spirit. It hasn't dissipated, it's just because it's calmed down. The spiritual power will only stimulate the Gu poison. If you don't want to die suddenly, just stay safe."
His words were cold and without any strong emotions, but Charles subconsciously believed them.
Maybe it's because he didn't miss his words in the past, maybe it's because he still has friendship with him after all, Xiaolong can't distinguish between love and hate as before, and quickly drive him into the abyss in his heart.
So he could only raise his eyes and said, "Where is this?"
A smile appeared in Shen Sansi's eyes: "I thought you would lose your temper."
Xiaolong didn't speak, Shen Sansi lowered his eyes and whispered: "Grow up."
Charles clenched his fists tightly, his heart and eyes were sore, he sucked his nose, and finally couldn't help asking: "Who are you working for? You used to be a national teacher. Could it be for the royal family?"
But thinking about it is wrong, Gong Shangcun is a member of the Heavenly Demon Way, they mix together...
Xiaolong endured the sourness in his eyes: "Is it still the way of the demon?"
Shen Sansi pondered for a while, then pursed her lips and said, "You can understand that I am doing things for Tian Mo Dao, but in fact, it is for myself."
"yourself?"
Xiaolong didn't understand the meaning of these words, and while the two were talking, Gong Shangcun waved his hand, and a complex spirit pattern appeared on the stone gate, with golden light shining, faintly revealing a threat that cannot be seen directly.
Sure enough, Gong Shangcun lowered his head, avoiding looking directly at the spirit pattern, then bent down and bowed three times, then injected spiritual power, and slowly opened the stone gate.
Charles didn't know what was behind it, but as soon as the stone door opened, the cold wind blew from inside, which was bone-chillingly cold.
This place is unbelievably cold. An ordinary person would freeze to death overnight, but the stone door opened slowly. Charles saw the scene inside but widened his eyes, inhaled slowly, and scalped for a while. Numb.
Behind this huge stone gate, there is an endless deep pit, and below are countless corpses, neatly arranged and lying on each stone platform, glowing with a faint white light, converging into a whole mass of corpses sea of stars.
Shen Sansi and Gong Shangcun led him in, and soon he noticed that these corpses were strange.
Every corpse here has no facial features, and is naked, covered only with a white cloth.
This kind of scene is undoubtedly very frightening. Charles' heart was beating violently, and he subconsciously wanted to catch Shen Sansi. After realizing something, he held back and followed the road into the deep pit.
Gong Shangcun seemed to be very happy, his previous stinky face changed, and soon they walked to one of the stone beds, and on that stone bed lay a neatly dressed girl, her eyes wide open. close up.
Different from other 'corpses', the girl had clear facial features. She was the girl whom Charles had seen before, and who Gong Shangcun brought with him, devoured flesh and blood.
Gong Shangcun walked over with a smile on his face, seeing the white light under the girl's body turn blue, his eyes showed ecstasy, he bent down and gently tidied the girl's broken hair, and said softly: "Lan'er, it's almost time, wait for you Wake up completely, brother will take you out to play."
Charles looked around, and suddenly had a bold idea, holding back his horror and asking: "What is this place, what's going on with these corpses?"
Gong Shangcun was still talking to his sister, Shen Sansi raised his eyes and looked up, Charles actually found that his expression seemed a little envious, and his heart was cold.
Shen Sansi withdrew his eyes, looked at Xiaolong and said, "These are not corpses, but embryos that have been cultivated."
He turned his head slightly, saw that Charles was silent, and then said, "Are you afraid?"
Charles admits that he does feel weird and scared. No matter what is around him now, he feels scared, but the biggest source of fear is the friend he once wishful thinking.
So he gritted his teeth and said, "I'm afraid, I'm afraid of this place, I'm afraid of these things... But I'm even more afraid of you."
Shen Sansi seemed to have expected it a long time ago, and said with a smile: "There is nothing to be afraid of. For us, only here can we see hope."
Xiaolong looked around and felt like he was going crazy: "What hope, what germ, what are you doing, you..."
"Young master, there are more than 82,000 germs here."
Shen Sansi said calmly: "You are afraid because you don't understand the feeling of losing your loved ones."
Charles opened his eyes wide, and Shen Sansi tried his best to smile, but his paleness was as terrifying as these faceless corpses: "Only here can save me."
After saying that, he left Gong Shangcun behind, and led Xiaolong to a deeper pool. There was a big tree growing in the middle of the pool, reflecting the green light, and the water was full of aura, as if it had condensed the entire space. vitality.
Shen Sansi pushed the three germs to the tree, and Xiaolong stood aside, watching quietly as he took the water from the surge of spiritual energy and poured it on the three 'corpses'.
Shen Sansi's nervous fingertips were trembling, and he quietly looked up at the big tree. Charles looked at it for a long time, thought about Gong Shangcun and the girl, and then asked, "Shen Sansi, this place can resurrect the dead. right?"
Shen Sansi nodded, still staring at the fluttering lights of the canopy, and said lightly: "As long as you complete the task, you can get the qualification given by the Holy Master."
Charles knew that the holy master he was talking about was probably the remnant soul of Ao Sheng, so he whispered: "So I am your task..."
Shen Sansi didn't answer, Charles suddenly laughed at himself, and then Shen Sansi looked at him in surprise, as if he didn't understand why he could still laugh.
Xiaolong stared at the ropes tightly binding his hands and said, "I've thought about it carefully along the way, and now it's... the third time, right?"
Shen Sansi was stunned, the look of expectation in his eyes dimmed, he pursed his lips and said: "That's why I said, the young master is very smart."
Xiaolong lowered his eyes, calculated to himself, and his tone became more serious, as if he wanted to express the anger and hatred in his heart: "The first time you hurt me was when we were in Hongzhai Yizhuang, and we fell into that deserted village. , should have been safe and sound, but you attracted that ghost spider."
"I was thinking at the time, where did the copper plate come from, but now that I think about it, it's just a random introduction that you didn't want to reveal."
Charles straightened his back and tried hard to keep his tone calm, but there was still strong emotion, depression and grief.
Shen Sansi smiled: "You guessed right."
"The second time, I fell into the ghost mansion."
Charles looked up at him: "I thought it was Liao Chengyin who made the move, but later he told me that he was not the one who did it."
"You and I obviously fell into the ghost mansion together, but we walked in there for a long time before meeting each other. Besides, you were the closest to me at that time... I also had a little bit of suspicion, but I didn't want it to be you, so I avoided it subconsciously." this possibility."
Charles took a deep breath: "Thinking about it now, only you who can hide from Jiang Yan for so long can do it."
Shen Sansi opened his mouth, and Charles went on to say: "Since you are a member of the Heavenly Demon Way, the order you got at the beginning should be to kill me, or call me into trouble, to test Jiang Yan's attitude, but unfortunately I escaped twice. You knew the relationship between me and Jiang Yan, so you changed your method and stayed by our side."
"I saw Jiang Fan, I got angry with Jiang Yan, and went out with my senior sister. It stands to reason that you would always follow me, but you stayed in the sect that day."
Charles blinked, leaving a tear, and then he couldn't control the gate, three or five tears fell, his voice was muffled, but with a torrent of anger: "You know we will meet Gong Shangcun , That's why you don't follow me... What I said, is everything right!"
Shen Sansi was silent, he moved his fingertips, wanted to wipe away the child's tears, and tried to make him happy as before, but he was no longer qualified, and did not have the strength to do such a thing, so he could only look away, It is the default.
Charles sniffed, his eyes were red, and suddenly he rushed over and knocked him down, and said loudly, "Think twice! You liar! Liar!"
Shen Sansi was actually able to escape, but he still fell on the ground with him, and finally lay down on the ground, looking at the fluorescent lights on the treetop, sighed heavily, and said very tiredly: "I'm sorry."
These are really the most feeble three words.
Charles shrank on the ground, suddenly missing Jiang Yan terribly, and loathing the person in front of him like never before.
How much he used to rely on trusting Shen Sansi, now he hates him so much, he can't help shouting: "You want to use me and threaten Jiang Yan, right? Jiang Yan won't be fooled, I will go out Yes, I will definitely... kill you!"
Shen Sansi closed his eyes, and when he heard the child angrily say that he was going to kill himself, he felt surprisingly relaxed. He pointed to the light on the tree and said, "Young master, guess what it is?"
Charles didn't speak, but still stared at him with deep hatred, as if he wanted to pounce on him and bite him to death.
Shen Sansi said to himself: "That is the soul of all the praying people in the Tao of Heaven and Demon, gathered on this sacred tree, and finally able to recover."
"My father, my mother, and my sister, they are all in there."
Shen Sansi went on to say: "Actually, there is one more thing that you don't know, do you still remember what I told you about the previous Bai Zezhiyan four hundred years ago, that unlucky guy who stole all his family? "
Xiaolong was stunned, and Shen Sansi smiled silently: "That unlucky guy is me."
"There is no previous term, it has always been me."
Charles instantly remembered seeing the secrets recorded by Wenshen in the secret realm, that seemingly unfinished story, and quickly found the name, with blood in his throat, and sneered: "What do you want to say, and now you have to tell I, you are neither Qiao Wentian nor Shen Sansi, but Tao Jingshuo, have you been playing tricks on me all this time!"
Shen Sansi looked at him sideways, and was overwhelmed by the long-lost familiar name, and asked hoarsely, "How do you know this name?"
Charles looked at him with mixed feelings: "Because in the secret realm, I have been to Zeyue's former residence."
"Zeyue... Wenshen Zeyue."
Shen Sansi thought about it over and over again, with a cold expression: "Yes, only he can write down such boring things."
Seeing that he was still indifferent, Charles suddenly didn't know what to say. All his emotions piled up in one place, which made his heart feel like it was going to explode.
Shen Sansi thought carefully for a while, but suddenly burst out laughing, as if stabbed by the name.
Xiaolong was puzzled: "What are you laughing at?"
Shen Sansi laughed so hard that she almost shed tears, and said after a while: "I was laughing at myself, I actually forgot my previous name wrongly, and I only remembered it after you said it, it's really ridiculous, so funny..."
But Xiaolong felt the coldness in his heart, and said in a low voice, "Think twice, this is not funny at all."
Three clusters of light gradually gathered on the tree, and Shen Sansi's eyes finally brightened a little, watching expectantly, and restrained his smile as if afraid of being disturbed.
After a while, he said in a low voice, chatting in a low voice: "Little son, do you know why I suddenly disappeared twenty years ago?"
Charles calmed down, suppressed his anger, and began to worry about Jiang Yan again in his heart, so he said perfunctorily, "Why?"
Shen Sansi didn't care about his attitude, he just held it in for too long, and finally wanted to find someone to confide in: "Back then, my family was wiped out, and I was lucky to survive. Things have changed."
"In the next two hundred years, I devoted myself to ascending to immortality and surpassing the imperial power, and even infiltrated the palace to become a national teacher. I wanted to avenge and cut off the blood of the royal family, but I met the young eldest princess."
Charles raised his eyes unexpectedly: "Princess?"
Shen Sansi said: "Exactly, there was only a thin line between me and Feisheng at that time, these eyes can see things that ordinary people can't see, and from the eyes of the eldest princess, I saw her future."
He said with a sigh: "When the people are displaced, she will be the new lord of the world, so... I am shaken."
Charles was silent for a moment, and said with difficulty: "You told me earlier that you didn't ascend because..."
"That's not lying to you. After giving up revenge, I wanted to become a god for a long time, and be an existence admired by the world."
"God forbids me."
With his five fingers turned into claws, he grabbed a handful of sand, his eyes suddenly turned cold, and he murmured in hatred: "It's not because I was blinded by hatred and had evil thoughts in my heart, it was because the heavens didn't allow me, and forced me to come here step by step!"
"I can't live, but I can't soar through hard training, and I can't even exist in an open and aboveboard manner. Why, why?"
Shen Sansi said bitterly: "This is my only way out, I just want to revive them, the family is safe and sound, even if it's a hard life, I will never really appear in front of people..."
Charles moved his eyelashes, speechless.
Who was wrong, and where was it wrong
No one could tell, and he didn't know how to answer, and how to calm the resentment in Shen Sansi's heart, because he himself didn't know the most correct answer.
But he knew clearly that if Shen Sansi wanted to use him to harm Jiang Yan, he would not show any affection.
When he calculated himself and Jiang Yan again and again, those feelings were already dead.
The white cloths splashed with water slowly turned into strange colors, covering the three bodies viscously. At the same time, the three groups of fluorescent lights shone brightly. Gong Shangcun walked slowly, seeing the situation Raising eyebrows: "It looks like it's almost done. As expected, the Holy Master didn't lie to us, and Lan'er seems to be waking up soon."
The smile on his face deepened, he looked at Shen Sansi, and said meaningfully: "As long as Jiang Wuyi is willing to disperse his cultivation, Lan'er will wake up completely, and he will no longer be crazy like a ghost, Shen Sansi, you will not be merciful , has it affected your and my affairs?"
Charles' eyes widened when he heard that, Shen Sansi carefully put the three fluorescent lights into the three bodies, pursed his lips and said, "No."
Xiaolong's eyes were red: "How dare you!"
Gong Shangcun walked up to him and said with a sneer: "Why don't you dare, do you think I don't dare? I naturally know who Jiang Wuyi is, Dragon God! It’s really a joy to be in our hands!”
He laughed wildly, and Charles finally understood that this person is a complete lunatic, but Gong Shangcun suddenly stopped laughing: "I almost forgot, you and my brother seem to be quite familiar, and I have seen Luo Luo before." Right? And Mu Qinghan, those old things from the Shenbian sect!"
"Hiss... After careful calculation, I really hate a lot of people, and it's really strange, all of them have something to do with you. Thinking about their temperament, if they see your torn corpse, their expressions must be extremely interesting. "
Charles gritted his teeth, at least he didn't get dizzy with anger, he reacted and looked at Gong Shangcun: "You are..."
Seeing his reaction, Gong Shangcun shook his head and said: "It seems that they don't think about me very much, and they haven't mentioned it, it's really heartless."
He grabbed his empty sleeves and murmured: "That Luo Luo narrowly escaped death, but now she has become much more beautiful. If I had known earlier, I shouldn't have been cheap. "
"However, that old man kept his mind hidden after he died. He only felt somewhat guilty for that illegitimate child all his life. He eagerly sent all the good things to him, even the dead waiter he trained by himself."
Gong Shangcun said, and smiled mockingly: "But what's the use of the result? He originally looked down on the illegitimate child the most, and let the wife drive him crazy, and the outer room was not soft-hearted, but in the end he chose to be a relative." Yan is his most promising son."
"But he has become an official in the imperial court, and he has hated his disgusting father for a long time. He still doesn't even look at him! He has never been incensed once, and his father has never called out a word. He only treats him as a palace Hansheng. It's a pile of shit hahahaha, he deserves to die with his eyes open! Are you saying it's funny, hahahaha!"
When Ji Youxin fell out with Qi Yan, he also mentioned the Gong family in a fit of anger. At that time, Xiaolong didn't think much about it, but now he felt a huge shock in his heart, and instantly understood that the second young master of the Gong family that Ji Youxin was talking about was Gong. Shangcun, but Qi Yan is actually the illegitimate child of the Gong family, and Gong Shangcun's half-brother!
Everything seemed to be in a circle, and finally connected end to end, Xiaolong suppressed his anger, stopped looking at Gong Shangcun, followed him to say some nasty nonsense, and instead looked at Shen Sansi seriously.
Seeing that Shen Sansi put the three clusters of fluorescent lights in, but did not move for a long time, Charles asked coldly, "What is he doing?"
Gong Shangcun is a rebellious pervert, he talked for a long time on his own, when he finally spoke, his eyes lit up, and he lost an arm, but he didn't hate him too much, he was even more excited when he heard the words, and he gave an unprecedentedly good-tempered answer .
"Him? When he put the reshaped soul into the body and injected the spiritual law, he thought about the person who was going to be resurrected, and it was done."
Charles frowned, the reshaped soul, the reshaped body, everything starts again, but is the resurrected person really the old person they miss in their hearts
"What about the memory?"
Charles looked in the direction of Shen Sansi, and kept trying to connect with the contract with weak spiritual power, and found Jiang Wuyi, but he was chatting with Gong Shangcun to divert his attention.
"Memory will come back sooner or later!"
Gong Shangcun's face changed slightly: "As long as a person is alive, he is stronger than anything else."
Charles sneered: "Reshaping the soul, a brand new body, no memory, and what you resurrected is just a walking dead."
Gong Shangcun's brows showed a fierce look, he looked at him sullenly, and after a long time he sneered, "Are you provoking me?"
Xiaolong didn't speak any more, but not long after Shen Sansi injected the spiritual law, the three bodies did not turn into his relatives as everyone expected, but melted from the face, revealing the skull and flesh inside.
Until the rot became unbearable, and finally spread down, the whole skin was rotten!
Trembling, Shen Sansi wanted to restore the three bodies and continuously inject spiritual power, but it only accelerated the decay and dissolution of the three bodies, begging and shouting in a low voice: "Don't, don't..."
This scene was so horrifying that even Gong Shangcun took a few steps back, Charles stared blankly, his hands and feet were cold, Shen Sansi saw the body festering in front of him, and stretched out his hand to catch it collapsed.
But only rubbed the flesh and blood all over his body.
Unconsciously, he tried in vain to put them back together, the flesh and blood all over the floor sticking together.
But slowly, he couldn't see anything anymore, his eyes were blurred, and with a slight shake of his hands, he smashed the rotten meat into pieces in an instant, and seeped into the ground, leaving a pool of red marks, and some remains of minced meat.
The face that I thought I could recall without any pause, but now there is only an empty shadow left. It is clear that day and night have been relatively long, and I have been thinking about it for hundreds of years...
It turned out that it was all washed away by time.
Together with the forgotten past, the bone-eating hatred slowly melted away, and he almost couldn't even remember himself.
Everything became a hazy mass, he seemed to remember everything, but he couldn't get to the bottom of it, and finally he only grasped a suffocating blank.
It took a long time for Charles to ask: "Didn't you say... that you can be resurrected?"
Gong Shangcun is also strange, he never experienced such a scene when he resurrected Gong Xianglan, and it is also in the fog at the moment.
The two of them could only watch Shen Sansi fall down into a pile of rotten meat at the last sentence, with a sad look on his face, but they couldn't even shed a single tear.
Looking at the picture in front of him, Shen Sansi felt that the last sliver of rationality was lost: "I can't think of it... I can't think of it..."
"Why can't I think of..."
He whimpered and wailed, as if he wanted to cry, but he had already forgotten how to cry, and finally laughed maniacally, and finally forced tears out of control.
"... four hundred years, four hundred years, I really can't think of it... sorry, sorry..."
He was crying and laughing, speaking incomprehensible words, and Charles stood still, watching the farce.
After a long time, Shen Sansi fell powerlessly into a pool of blood, and whispered softly: "But I really can't remember...Father, my child even forgot his own name..."
"I'm sorry...but I really can't remember...I can't remember what you guys look like."
After a series of words, Charles looked down at the bloody flesh and blood on the ground, then looked at Shen Sansi who seemed to be delirious, and finally understood something. .
Four hundred years is really too long.
