After turning off the lights, Qi Yin lay on the bed and began to think about the things in the glazed illusion. Yan Jing darkness enveloped him, the sound of jade outside the house was tinkled by the wind, and there was a faint barking in the wild far away. Fu Lan slept next to him, and there was only a thin cedar board wall between them. After thinking for a long time without any clue, her thoughts began to wander, Qi Yin turned over and faced the wall, wondering if Fu Lan was also facing the wall sideways. He didn't want to sleep in the same bed with his brother, it was too embarrassing. Before entering the house, he told Fu Lan about the separation, but this fellow was aggrieved, thinking that he had done something wrong.
But he still couldn't help but want to help Lan, especially when everything was quiet and alone. Qi Yin closed her eyes and heard her breathing.
Wait, Qi Yin suddenly opened his eyes, there was a second breath in the room.
This breath was always in sync with his breath, so he didn't notice it. But just now he was contemplating, and the second breathing sound was revealed in the darkness, like a whale salamander buried in the sea emerging from the water.
That breathing... right above his head!
Qi Yin raised his head suddenly and saw a pair of curved blue eyes hanging above his head. Female Luo Yanran smiled, revealing sharp fangs. Qi Yin was about to scream, a soft hand covered his mouth and nose, the sweet and greasy fragrance enveloped him, Nuluo laughed softly in his ear, "Dear brother, get a good night's sleep, sister-in-law won't you? It will take away your Yuan Yang."
At the last moment of losing consciousness, Qi Yin thought that if he did it all over again, he would not be hypocritical, and would sleep with his brother every night until dawn.
He was woken up by the water, and the sun was shining on his eyelids, and his eyes were white. Just sitting up, he stumbled under his body, and a few stones were rubbed by his hand and fell down with a clatter. He heard the sound of distant stones falling to the ground, opened his eyes and was startled, he was sitting in the sky hundreds of meters high, under the dome and heavy eaves and huge smooth marble, the ground was far away, caged in a light layer In the fog, like an abyss.
Looking around, Qi Yin was stunned for a moment. The mist subsided in the sun, and the miracle appeared before his eyes like a mirage in the mist. The old tree trunks in the mountains have brown soil, and the part that connects with the soil is old and gray. At first glance, you will think it is a rough rock. Occasionally, the thick ancient trees hugged together, and the giant vines withered and dead were circling up like a giant python, each with the thickness of palace beams and pillars, connected between the trees, and the ends gradually became softer, woven into a tree that was already crumbling. Room. The huge monster corpses were buried under the thick soil, revealing pale skulls and dark eye holes. They were former intruders who delusionally wanted to get the treasures in the Bashan Temple, and finally died here.
"'In ancient times there was a giant tree, with eight thousand years as spring and eight thousand years as autumn'," Nuluo sat on the beam, combing her long black hair, "It is said that the tree on the edge of Bashan is from the gods They have been around since they were born. You can see that their trunks are thicker than your waist. But most of them are dead, and some are almost petrified. Since the White Deer God left Bashan, everything in Bashan has died."
Qi Yin turned around and saw a huge full moon-shaped disk. He remembered this disc, he had seen it in Wu Yuli's scroll, when the white deer stood on top of it, like a ghost from the depths of time. Now he saw the real thing, it was much bigger than he imagined, and Qi Yin stood in front of it, like a puppet. The whole disc is as smooth as a mirror, without any pattern relief, nor any trace of wind erosion. It feels icy cold to the touch, and I can't tell what texture it is, like delicate white jade, and like warm white porcelain. Qi Yin suddenly remembered that the white deer statue in the tomb of the gods was also made of this kind of stone.
"We don't have much time, Lang Jun will be here in a minute," said Fu Lan, Nuluo rubbed her wrist, "What a fool, he is so hard on a girl like me, It was not easy for you to bring him out, he almost lost all his limbs." She looked at Bai Wu in the distance, "Wu Yuli is on his way too, that lunatic, let's make a long story short."
Hearing these words, Qi Yin slowly recalled his taste, and said in shock, "You are not Wu Yuli's eyes..."
"Clever." Nuluo shook her legs and smiled, "You are Wu Yuli's chosen body. Before you sacrifice yourself, he will ensure your safety. They were all under his watch. Sister-in-law took a lot of effort to get you out for a while. I wanted to use the child's corpse to lead you to Bashan. Who made your fat cat so suspicious? If you are willing to let me go with you, I won't have to work so hard."
"You buried that child's corpse!" No wonder the child's corpse appeared in the ground of his brother's house without knowing it. It turned out that this dead fox demon was at work. Qi Yin said gloomily, "Eldest sister, who are you in the end? Immortals have to show their identity, otherwise how would I know whether to ask for a child or ask about marriage?"
"Don't worry, listen to me first," Nuluo knocked on the disc and made a clear sound, "I believe you have discovered that that old guy Wu Yuli can't be killed. Every time you kill him, he can always change Another body is reborn. Generally speaking, it is just a mortal or a demon. After death, the body rots, and the soul leaves the body and merges into the heavens. The memory of the soul dissipates and reincarnates. This is the reincarnation in your mortal mouth. Everything is there. In the end, once you enter reincarnation, your memory will be lost, your body will be changed, the last person will die, and the next person will be a completely different person from memory to physical body. But Wu Yuli uses a method to preserve his memory and replace his body, In a sense, he has jumped out of reincarnation. At the same time, because of this method, even if the blood of the gods is dripped into his eyebrows, he cannot be killed."
"Yes, I know about this," Qi Yin folded his hands on his chest, "Could it be that you have a way to kill him?"
"I'm sorry, no." Nuluo spread her hands, "Did you meet a lot of people in the glazed illusion? One of them is my master. The place where my master is often accompanied by a gap in time and space, you passed through the gap inadvertently, met them."
"Oh, and then what?"
"We investigated the secret of Wu Yuli's immortality, but there has been no actual progress. Until a very accidental time, we discovered that there is a hidden place in the Bashan Temple. This place is heavily forbidden, and neither consciousness nor clones can enter. We sent a lot of The subordinates entered the temple, but without exception, they all died halfway. If you look in the white mist, half of the corpses lying there are my companions. The last team that died here was Wufang Mountain Sect. Twelve Taoists led by Lan."
"Are you fooling me? Senior Zong Lan is yours?" Qi Yin was stunned. He remembered the name Zong Lan, his bald and fat cheap master once said that Wufang Mountain gathered twelve Taoist priests and secretly sneaked into the Bashan Temple. Wu Fang used the Xiaoshi Mirror to contact them, but all of them were lost in the white fog, and none of them could come out. It wasn't until Qi Yin entered the tomb of the gods that he knew that the so-called Bai Wu was the god servant who was transformed into after the death of the gods and witches. They would kill all the mortal spirits who entered the forbidden land of the gods without permission.
"You can say that." Female Luo said.
"Come on, eldest sister," Qi Yin twitched the corners of his mouth, "you fool me and I have to make a draft first. I'm not my brother, and he will believe if you say that men will have children."
Nuluo was not in a hurry, she blinked, "Diewa, you have seen the god attendant in the tomb of the gods, right?"
"I see, what's up?"
"Fifty years ago, after Zong Lan's twelve people entered Bashan, a consciousness disappeared from the mirror of Xiaoshi every day, but Zong Lan told Wufang that they were safe and sound, and there were not many twelve people. Until Twelve days later, Zong Lan found that his companion was stiff and seemed to be no longer alive. Not long after that, his own consciousness also disappeared from the mirror. Since then, these twelve people have been silent, as if the world has evaporated." Nu Luo said, " But brother, you clearly know that the servants of the gods use Wuluo's secret method to kill people. These twelve people are so strange, don't you have any doubts?"
"What do you mean?" Qi Yin said in surprise, "Could it be that... Zong Lan is lying?"
"That's right," Nu Luo spread her hands and said, "In fact, they took back their consciousness and cut off the connection with Wufang Mountain."
"Why did they do this?" Qi Yin asked.
"Because they are ours!"
"You... who are you?"
Nuluo stood up from the beam and looked at him condescendingly, "For thousands of years, the names of my lords have been annihilated in vast clouds. However, you can call them their common name." Nuluo said word by word, "That's God."
There was silence in the vast wind and smoke, and the two looked at each other, staring blankly. Nuluo tilted her neck in confusion and said, "A normal person should 'wow-' when they hear this, right? Why don't you have any reaction?" She propped her chin and looked at him, "Are you scared stupid? I saw a white deer in the tomb, I thought you would calm down."
"Nothing..." Qi Yin said with difficulty, "I just think God looks different from what I imagined."
Turns out it's all his mother's eyes.
"This is nothing unusual," said Nuluo, "if you have read the Three Graves and Five Canons, you will know that the god Nuwa Fuxi has the head of a snake and the body of a snake. The ghost car and bird, the flames burn wherever they pass. The Kua'e is even more than a hundred feet tall, almost as high as the sky. The white deer god you have seen is really a white deer with long horns and flowers. His real name It is Jiang Yang, and no one knows about it now. In the ancient songs circulated in the 100,000 mountains in the depths of the southern border, he is the ancestor of the demon. It is said that he cut off the antlers, chopped them into nine pieces, and sprinkled them into the nine mountains of the southern border. Ten thousand demons are born on the ground."
"Oh..." The corners of Qi Yin's mouth twitched, "So your great god showed his spirit in front of Senior Zong Lan, and announced that 'the sky will give a great responsibility, so people must first suffer their minds, work their muscles and bones, and starve their bodies and skin'. .I have a 'big responsibility' here, you can take it, after finishing, you will be on the list of gods and become the door gods of every household. If you are the protagonists, this little song has been written, and Grandpa Land will let you Is Gao happy or happy? So senior Zong Lan wept bitterly, willing to go through fire and water for the great god, and finally died heroically." Qi Yin covered her face and said, "Do I look like a fool? A snake with a human head When the thing on my body appeared in front of me, my first reaction was not to throw myself on the ground and shout to God, but to shout 'there is a monster' and turn my head and run away, sis!"
"Ah, God's method is a little easier than you said." Nu Luo shrugged, "They use 'Whisper'."
"'Whisper'?"
"Yes, you can understand it as a spell. Gods are the incarnation of heaven, earth, mountains, rivers and seas, and every word they say can become a spell. When they whisper in your ear, you will obey their will and practice them. Have you ever heard of 'Daigo empowerment', this is a way of imparting wisdom, just touch your head, you will understand the past and future, your heart will be joyful, and you will suddenly realize. God's 'whisper' is similar to In this way, your consciousness will be changed by the gods and you will become their most loyal servant." Nu Luo said.
"So God told me to eat shit, will I eat shit?"
"Well, as vulgar as your example is, it does."
"Isn't this Zhongxie?" Qi Yin called out.
"Think on the bright side, Diwa, you are the messenger of the gods! What a face to say it!" Nuluo squinted her eyes and smiled, "As you saw in the glazed illusion, my god accidentally passed through the gap in time and space. , spy into a cabin in the woods. We believe that the child has a great connection with Wu Yuli's secret, and you must have discovered that Lang Jun and the child look very similar. We guess that Wu Yuli's secret is probably hidden In Bashan, the place where there are many restrictions, after all, it is the only place where the gods are hard to spy. If I were Wu Yuli, I would definitely hide my secrets there."
"Where is that place?"
"It's this big mirror," Nuluo patted the disc. "We call it the 'Bashan Moon Mirror'. It's made of lapis lazuli, a specialty of southern Xinjiang. It's ridiculously expensive, and it's as small as a fingernail. Children, you can exchange hundreds of acres of fertile land in the black market. Thousands of years ago, when the temple was built, Nanjiang used 100,000 slaves to pull gears and slings to hang this moon mirror on the top of the temple. It is facing the moon wheel. God, the gods and witches in the southern border believe that when the moon is full, the moon mirror can illuminate the scene of the moon and the sky, and they can get in touch with the White Deer God through this."
"So, don't you want me to go in?" Qi Yin wailed.
"That's right, it's you!" said Nu Luo. "Don't worry, my gods respect you very much. They don't plan to use 'whispers' to deceive you. Do you feel very honored and excited?"
"It's an honor for your grandfather, so many seniors died when they went in. I am a fake Taoist priest with half a bucket of water, how can I still live?"
"Don't worry, the foolish little man will go in with you." Nu Luo smiled at him, wiping her red lips, not saying anything. Under the bright sky, her smile was somewhat meaningful, "After all, even if your little brother is shattered, he will definitely let you live, right?"
