"Uncle Wolf, come with us." Yun Zhi sat cross-legged on the sword and said with his sleeves on his back.
Qi Yin decided to go to Yunmeng Guze, even if what the Great God Lao Shizi said was unclear, he didn't know if it was a trap. But after thinking about it, there is only such a clue at present, and I still have to explore it.
The wolf king shook his head and said no, Yun Zhi scratched his forehead and said, "The world is not very peaceful now. My good uncle is putting demons and moths everywhere, and there are walking corpses outside. Are you really not going with us?"
The wolf king chuckled a few times in his throat, "I saw your uncle earlier, and I knew that he was not a good guy. What kind of fun could a big man be so white and tender? It's a shame that you secretly followed him when you were young. I said that when I grow up, I want to marry him as a bride."
"Huh?" Yun Zhi was stunned, "Did I say that?"
"When you first came, you thought he was a little bitch, so obsessed in three ways, he would go into someone's arms when he saw the sky. After helping you heal his broken arm for two months, you only knew that he was a handle, run to me The wind blew all night and said that the first joy in your life ended without a hitch, and from then on, you were determined to be pure-hearted and focused on the Tao. Little thief, you were only seven or eight years old at that time. style."
Let him go on, Yunzhi's underwear will have to be cleaned. Looking back at Qi Lingshu and Qi Yin in embarrassment, Qi Yin wrapped the black cat in a bag and carried it on his back, but he didn't react. Qi Lingshu's face was buried under the shade of a tree, looking inexplicably gloomy. For some unknown reason, Yun Zhi hurriedly stopped the wolf king and said, "You really don't think about it anymore?"
"Come on." The wolf king put his chin on the rock and closed his eyes wearily, "I'm too old, I won't be able to live for long, I won't accompany you young boys to toss. It can block the demons, this is probably the last pure land in the world. You can go, I can see you from a distance." He lifted his eyelids again, looked at Qi Yin, and said, "Kid Qi Yin, he will go to Quan soon. I saw your bull-nosed father, what do you want me to say?"
Qi Yin looked at the mountains and forests in the distance, and said, "I will say that I am safe and happy, and that I have many descendants, so I don't need to worry about it."
The three said goodbye to the wolf king, Yujian soared into the sky, and Nuluo waited outside to guide them. As the sun sets in the west, the red glow is like a billowing fire that burns half of the sky. Looking at the phoenix from a distance, the nine ups and downs of the mountains are hidden at the end of the white clouds, gradually fainting into a scribbled ink. Yun Zhi looked back for a while, with a faint sense of vastness in his heart.
People go to the mountains and the sky, and everything is over.
All the way to the west, overlooking the sword, the town is dilapidated, and the walking corpses are cruising the mountain road in groups. The remaining Xianshan sects built a barrier along the natural dangers of the valley in the north of Jingchu. The gleaming wall stretched across the earth, and the buzzing moths and walking corpses patrolled under it. At first glance, the earth seemed to be cracked. Bone scars are visible. Qi Lingshu's face was gloomy, and he pursed his lips and did not speak.
"Little Martial Uncle, what are you thinking?" Yun Zhi asked.
There is a hidden pain in Qi Lingshu's eyes, "Yun Zhi, sometimes I always feel that no matter how I go, it is wrong. Every step is in a dilemma. When I walk around, I always spin between prisons and can't escape."
Yun Zhi laughed and said, "In the end, isn't the world a big prison? If we can get out, we will become immortals sooner?" He glanced at Qi Yin in front of him, "Even those who are immortals, It seems that I'm still trapped in prison. Some things can be done if we can, but if we can't, there is no need to carry them on our shoulders, how tired."
Qi Lingshu was silent for a while, and said, "You have always thought about it."
Ever since he was a child, he was entangled by those crying brothers and sisters. Every day from opening his eyes, Yun Zhi would listen to Sang Ya Liubai and the others shouting, "Master, Sang Ya has collapsed my bed!" "Master, my underpants were burned by the fourth junior brother!" If he couldn't think about it, he would have died.
Yun Zhi held his arms and sighed: "Little Master, there are so many people in the world, you can't save them if you want to save them. What's more, some people can't even save themselves. Miserable, life is still there, and everything else is gone, it is the most miserable."
After he finished speaking, they both fell silent. In front of the two of them, Qi Yinyu flew with the bone-chopping knife, and the flying white hair was dazzling. He faced the sunset all the way, the silent and lonely black back was like a knife, plunged into the hot karmic fire. At sunset, when the stars hung in the sky like frozen slugs, they reached the sky above the Mufu Mountain. There was a vast swamp in the bend of the mountain range, like a silver moon inlaid on the edge of the mountain range. In ancient times, this swamp was far bigger than today, with the Yangtze River in the south and Suizhou in the north, occupying almost half of the land of Jingchu.
"It's Yunmeng below," said Nuluo, "My God's guidance for me is here, and I have never entered it. According to the "Hai Nei Zhongzhou Chronicle", the people of Jingchu in the past built temples on the water and went boating. Go to the Daze Center, dance and entertain the gods and pray for blessings. Every year, hundreds of human animals are sacrificed to the Daze Center, begging for good weather. If the remains of the human animals are found, it must be not far from the temple.”
Qi Yin said: "This kind of place has always been weird, I'll go down first, you guys wait for me here."
"Let's go together, don't leave anyone behind. How do you say that sentence, life is the same quilt, death is the same hole." Yun Zhi said.
This fellow is used to saying strange things, Qi Lingshu glanced at him silently, and pretended not to hear it.
"It's up to you." The bone-cutting knife slowly descended, and Qi Yin approached the water surface, "In this case, I'll take the lead, the rear of the little uncle. Dog thief, you and Nuluo walk in the middle."
He glanced at Yunzhi calmly, and Yunzhi instantly understood. Brothers and sisters have been so long, this tacit understanding is still there. Qi Yin probably didn't trust that great god named Bai Yu, nor did he trust this banshee named Nuluo. Arranged in this formation, on the surface, it looks like protection, but it actually surrounds the female Luos. If something goes wrong, both sides can help each other.
Qi Yin dived first, the dark green water submerged in front of him, and the quiet underwater seemed to be another world. Guze is far deeper than expected, almost reaching the depth of the ice sea and the sky. The group dived silently, and no one spoke, as if they were afraid of disturbing the ancient souls.
Diving to the deepest point, the dark green became thicker and thicker, and it was almost impossible to see each other. Yunzhi lit the lamp talisman, and the faint light of the talisman lit up, the light was like golden dust, scattered in the water. They had already dived very deep, and the eardrums seemed to be covered with something, and they were stuffy and uncomfortable. Qi Yin carried the black cat on his back and swam at the front, there was no sound everywhere, as if he had come to the realm of death.
After walking three feet away, Qi Yin waved his hand and made a pause gesture. Everyone silently stopped behind him, looked forward, and couldn't help taking a deep breath in their hearts.
People, all people.
Under the green water, in the muddy silt, there are countless people kneeling. At a glance, there are all the heads of Wuyangyang. Everyone crawls on the ground, hands folded under their foreheads, and bows reverently toward the front. Not far in front of it was a large, withered ship. The mast was broken, and half of the hull was buried in the sand. The keel was engraved with intricate spells, which had dimmed its brilliance and was almost worn out. This rotten ancient ship is burly and old, and I don't know how many years it has spent in this quiet underwater.
"Building a temple on the water means that the temple is built on a boat?" Yun Zhi whispered.
Nuluo nodded, "It should be like this."
Qi Yin was about to move forward, and Qi Lingshu pressed his shoulder. Qi Yin flicked his hand away and said, "There is no living person."
Indeed, there is no heartbeat in this water, only the faint water waves rubbing against the rocks, making subtle sounds. Qi Yin stepped into the group of kneeling corpses, and the skin of all the corpses showed a strange iron-blue color, making them look like statues carved from bronze.
"Their bodies were filled with lead," Yunzhi raised the hand of a corpse, "Look, it's very heavy. They should have been filled with lead while they were alive. Although the lead water is hot, it won't kill their body. The internal organs are burnt, but they are instantly frozen, so that they can maintain this posture of kneeling. If they sink to the bottom of the river, the lead water will be very heavy after solidification, and no matter how strong the wind and waves are, they will not be able to float."
"It's all men." Qi Lingshu looked at the kneeling corpses and said with a frown.
Nuluo blinked and said with a smile: "In Chu, the goddess is often descended from the witch, and the goddess is descended from the witch. The great god Baiyu is the goddess of Yunmeng. You can dedicate these people to the gods as the ancestors of Yunmeng. face."
Yun Zhi raised his lips and smiled, "Hei Zai, what if God wants to face us for a while?"
"Then I'll keep you." Qi Yin said with an expressionless face, "To be a great god, you will have enough in this life."
"There's more there." Qi Lingshu pointed to the place five steps away with his sword.
There was a tragic white bone arm, and they went over to plan it and dug out a white skeleton.
Looking at the skeleton, it is a mortal. "Human sacrifice?" Qi Lingshu frowned, "Why is he alone?"
"There is only one possibility, he is not a human sacrifice." Yun Zhi tapped the bones with the hilt of his sword, and made a clear sound, "The bones of mortals have been soaked in water for thousands of years, and they have rotted into scum. The bones of a successful senior will not survive for so long. This senior must have died recently, and it will be no more than five hundred years ago."
Yun Zhi bowed and just took a few steps with the sword on his back, when suddenly his foot sank into the mud.
His face changed, and he said, "His uncle, something grabbed my foot!"
Everyone was startled, Qi Yin quickly pulled out his sword, Gui Mei turned into a bleak streamer, plunged into the mud. Qi Lingshu's demonic energy skyrocketed, and it was divided into three strands wrapped around Yun Zhi's body, pulling him out forcibly. Yun Zhi stumbled to the ground, with a bony arm from his ankle, and the sharp bone spur pierced into the sole of his shoe. Yunzhi pulled out the bones and threw them on the ground. It wasn't something grabbing him, it was the spur that he stepped into the skeleton.
Qi Yin was speechless, retracted back to the ignorant, and said, "Dog thief, your courage is too small."
"Ashamed and ashamed, it must be the senior who saw that I was too handsome and couldn't bear to leave me." Yun Zhi said.
As soon as he finished speaking, the ground in front of him collapsed, and the mud shells several feet square were completely collapsed, revealing a dark pit. Yun Zhi sat on the edge and almost slipped. Qi Yin and Qi Lingshu turned left and right, hooking his arms and pulling him up. The water waves dispersed, and the scene below was unobstructed, and everyone was stunned.
The bottom is full of bones, piled up in a mess. The dark eye holes were filled with silt, and he stared blankly at the dark green water waves.
Qi Yin didn't say a word, stretched out his hand, and a pale head quivered and flew into his palm.
"The breath has been soaked in the water." Qi Yin said.
"Who are they, and why did they die here?" Yun Zhi squatted down and looked at it, "Are they fishermen who fell into the water and died? There is a custom of marrying girls to river gods on the river. Are these virgins dedicated to Jiang He?"
"Impossible, they don't have lead on their bodies, and they won't sink to the bottom like these kneeling corpses. If they marry the virgins of the river god, they should also drift away with the water and will not gather together." It was so folded that it seemed like wandering mercury, "The bones are buried in the pit like this, it is only possible that someone did it on purpose."
Yun Zhi understood something and took a deep breath.
Qi Yin whispered, "Luo, does your god eat people?"
No one answered, Qi Yin turned around, but couldn't see the figure of the banshee. She didn't know when she disappeared, and Qi Yin didn't realize it. This mother-in-law is tricky, Qi Yin thought so, and turned around again, only to find that Yun Zhi and Qi Lingshu were also gone. There was nothing but him and the pile of bones in the empty daze. He lowered his head and stared silently at the silent bones, a head was slanted towards him, and his dark eyes looked over, as if he was looking at him.
It was so quiet that he couldn't even hear his heartbeat, everyone disappeared, and he was the only one left.
Qi Yin sighed slowly, raised his face and looked at the dark green water waves, the sky light leaked into the lake, and it became a dim light, far away from him. It was a familiar feeling, suffocatingly cold. It seemed as if he had traveled thousands of miles, with traveling companions coming and going, and in the end he finally understood that he would go to the dark alone, with no one to accompany him.
He touched the baggage behind him, and Master Cat's breathing sounded beside his ears.
Fortunately, the cat is still there.
"What is this, a trap? God Bai Yu, what else do you want in me, Qi Yin?"
Qi Yin slashed towards the kneeling corpse behind him. The knife light swept the water waves and smashed away, and the male corpse kneeling all the way was caught in the knife light and was twisted into pieces. The knife light disappeared into the darkness at the end, and the water wave returned to silence.
"Go to the boat, child." A soft female voice sounded behind her, Qi Yin turned her face back, and three pairs of Yingying eyes faced him.
"Where's my friend?"
"They won't be in danger. The bones you see are just ignorant people who trespassed on miracles and were killed by us." God said, "Your friends are not qualified to visit us, we only allow you to step into us. territory."
Qi Yin looked at the void around him, separated by a layer of barrier, everything looked bleak and desolate, "From just now until now, I clearly didn't move half a step, but my companion disappeared out of thin air. Either you played some tricks. Take them away, or you confuse my eyes. It's not easy to take people around me from under my eyes now, so I prefer the latter. The western dream tapir can weave dreams and confuse people. Living a dream of a dream tapir is indeed difficult to distinguish between true and false. But your methods are superior to them. Your fantasy and reality are blended together, regardless of each other. Am I right?"
"Yes, your friend is still by your side." The god said quietly.
"Very good," Qi Yin said, "Either you accept these boring spells and come out to see me, or I will hack this place."
The Gui Mei sword slowly slipped out of the scabbard, and the frosty sword light reflected on Qi Yin's face, illuminating his silver-gray eyes. This man held a knife and a sword in his hand, as calm as a piece of pig iron. There was no anger or resentment on his body, but the cold murderous intention had been silently fermented in the waves.
"Are you threatening the gods? Child."
Qi Yin smiled silently, and the light in his eyes was colder than the waves of water. He said, "I'm no longer the Qi Yin who was squeezed in your palms and played around by you. I respect you three points and call you gods. But God, the decision is mine, not yours."
