It was pitch black in front of him, and the chaos kept rolling, spinning, and bumping, and it was too late to set up the enchantment. Fu Lan hugged Qi Yin, the black cat bit his shirt tightly, and the two and the cat tried their best to keep their balance. Even so, Qi Yin was still dizzy and almost vomited blood. Soon the mud flow turned into water, and Qi Yin vaguely knew that they should have entered the underground channel. The water was flowing too fast, and the hands that were grabbing on him were washed away. But the turbulent water flow completely engulfed them, and Qi Yin was stunned, and the whole person fainted.
After what seemed like a year, the water flow slowly slowed down, and the cold water soaked his body, and he felt like a fruit of ice. There was finally light in front of them, and the two and a cat emerged from the water together. Qi Yin wiped his face, spat out a mouthful of mud and water, and staggered ashore.
This is a stalactite cave, and the upside-down stalagmites hang down from the top of the cave, like upside-down ice awls. The stalactites piled up on the ground look like melted ointment. There were so many holes in it, Qi Yin felt that her scalp was numb when she saw it, and she always felt that those ghost hands were sticking out from these holes. The stalagmites are stacked in knots, crowded together, and some hang from the top of the cave to the ground, connecting with the ground like beams and pillars supporting the cave. The surface is very rough, like the rigid limbs of insects.
Very good, there must be no demon moths in this place.
Qi Yin undid the shattered clothes, and his back was bruised all over, but luckily he didn't break any bones. Qi Yin moved his back and grinned in pain. The black cat swam up on its own, but Fu Lan didn't come out immediately, but plunged into the water and dived into the depths of the river. After a while, he climbed out and shook his head. Qi Yin knew that he was looking for those ghost hands that appeared out of thin air, but he didn't seem to find anything.
Everyone squatted by the river and washed the mud on their bodies. Qi Yin's clothes were completely unfit to wear, so they simply didn't use them. They steamed the clothes to dry with spiritual power, and used them as firewood to start a fire. It's too cold here, and the chilly breath is chilling on the neck, as if a ghost is blowing behind him. When Fulan inspected the cave, there were only dense stalagmites and stalactites. This is a closed cave, and the only way to get out is by water.
"Where is this place? Have you been here?" Qi Yin asked.
The black cat shook his head, "I haven't been here, but we should be very close to Qianqiu Dachun." It drew a curved line on the ground with its paws, "This is the path we took after we were dragged down, and the water took us all the way to the north. Let's go, the speed is so fast, it is not much worse than Yujian, we were rushed for a full incense time, and it is reasonable to say that it is not far from Qianqiu Dachun."
"Let's not leave, just stay here," Qi Yin said. "Anyway, there are no demon moths or witches who cheat corpses. When we came in, the witches were all lying down, and the trouble came at night. The moths are going to rest during the day, so let's go out again during the day, and it should be peaceful outside by then."
Qianqiu Dachun is no safer than the temple, and it is completely helpless to go there. Since it's safe here, it's obviously safest to stay here. Fu Lan took out the iron pot and boiled the mushroom soup. The firelight jumped in the darkness, everyone was tired, Qi Yin asked Fu Lan to sleep for a while, and held the sword to watch the night. I was so tired that I couldn't open my eyelids.
She closed her eyes for a while, and forced herself not to doze off. She looked to the side, and the seat of Fu Lan was empty at some point. Qi Yin sat up in shock, Fu Lan's Qiankun bag was still there, and the black cat was snoring beside the fire. Qi Yin stood up to look for Fulan, but saw him sitting alone on a big rock, not knowing what he was doing.
"Brother," Qi Yin climbed up, "what are you doing alone?"
This guy has been silent a lot since he came out of the temple. Originally like a dumb, now quiet, more like a stone. Qi Yin sat down beside him, and together with him, looked at the strange rocks and turbulent water in front of him.
"Xiao Yin, you saw it too, right?" Fu Lan said softly, "That black monster, he has a face."
Qi Yin did not speak, indeed, he saw it too. He remembered that the moonlight passed through the window lattice, and saw the dark cheeks of the black-haired monster, and the face plate with no facial features appeared a little bit vaguely. What is even more frightening is that the outline of the monster looks like Fu Lan. Qi Yin pressed Fu Lan's shoulder and said, "So what? You are only allowed to have eyes, nose and mouth, but not others?"
Fu Lan looked at the bright water waves in the dark, her voice was as light as the wind, "Xiao Yin, am I transformed from a monster?"
In the dim and misty light of the fire, his profile was quiet, and there was no joy or anger. Seeing his unrecognizable appearance, Qi Yin's heart was in a mess, and he didn't know what to say. According to the current clues, Fu Lan's life experience is still confusing. How can there be so many people who look the same? What happened to that black-haired monster? Could it be that Wu Yuli built a piece of land to grow gourds, and all the melons that grew out of that piece of land would eventually look exactly the same as Fu Lan
"How is that possible?" Qi Yin hooked his shoulders, "What are you thinking about? Don't think wildly."
"Xiao Yin," Fu Lan lowered her eyelashes and stared at her palm, "I knew for a long time that in this mortal world, I am a strange stranger. I do not belong to the mortal world, and the mortal world does not belong to me. When I was twelve years old, I visited all the miracles recorded in ancient books. I have been to Yunmeng Daze and the ancient forest of Jiuyi Mountain. , Is there any relatives, is there anyone in the world with the same blood as me... Who am I? But I never got a response."
"Brother..." Qi Yin looked at him blankly.
"All living beings in the world have fathers and ancestors. That is your root system and the source of your bloodline inheritance. Therefore, you know where you came from, and you will eventually return the fallen leaves to their roots and where they go. Xiaoyin, I don't have it, I don't. You know where I came from and where I'm going." In the silent fire, Fu Lan raised his eyes, and anyone could see the sadness in his eyes, "Xiao Yin, if I changed from a monster, would you hate me? ?"
The two sat opposite each other, the fire between their cheeks. Qi Yin raised her hand and knocked on Fu Lan, shaking violently. Fu Lan was stunned and stared at him blankly. Qi Yin said: "Father and grandfather, it's all bullshit. We mortals all say that Fuxi and Nuwa are our ancestors who started the mountain, but they have a snake-like body and a vast supernatural power, so how are they similar to us? Their ancestors were white deer, and one deer has raised so many strangely shaped descendants, including monkeys, wild boars, and giant worms, do you believe it?"
Fu Lan thought for a moment, and said, "It seems to make sense."
"Nonsense, does what I say make no sense? So tracing bloodlines is a nonsense in itself. If you can call the wind and rain in the future, don't talk about the people of the future, the people of the present are rushing to recognize you as their ancestor. Brother. , don't ask God, I don't think they are very reliable." Qi Yin scratched his head, pulled up his wrist, and pressed his palm to her heart, "If you feel that you have no roots, take your roots. Plant it with me. If someone asks who you are in the future, you can answer him, you are Qi Yin's brother."
Fu Lan lowered his long and curled eyelashes, and as far as his eyes could reach, there was a firm and powerful heartbeat under his palm, like a small cluster of warm flames.
"Even if the monster changes, it doesn't matter," Qi Yin said with a smile, "little brother will never hate brother, brother will always like brother."
Fu Lan was stunned for a while, then nodded vigorously, "So is my brother."
The two looked at each other, and the flames danced on Fu Lan's fair face, half-bright and half-dark, with a kind of quiet tenderness. The hand was still on Qi Yin's chest. The cold hand was pressed against his hot heart. He couldn't lower the temperature for Qi Yin. They were so close that they could hear each other's breathing. A wave of blood hit Qi Yin's cheeks, and he suddenly had an unbearable impulse, as if a horse was hidden in his heart, ready to move.
kiss him. Qi Yin thought.
Qi Yin stared at him, her pale lips were clean, she had only touched Qi Yin's so far. Thinking of this, Qi Yin couldn't help himself, and felt a sense of satisfaction in possessing Fu Lan. want to kiss him. This thought was burning in my heart, and the restless horse was about to break free. God, he never did such a thing. He was already in a daze, and he didn't care about the consequences. His heart beat like a drum, and in the turbulent heartbeat, he lowered his body, his lips bullying the fire.
"Although I don't want to disturb you," the black cat said below, "but you'd better come and see this."
Qi Yin suddenly came back to his senses, hurriedly straightened up, and coughed. Fu Lan looked at him in confusion, "Does Xiaoyin want to kiss?"
This fellow looked very calm, as if kissing was a normal thing like holding an umbrella on a rainy day. That's right, he never loses his mind. When he kisses Qiyin, his heartbeat is as steady as when he draws a knife to kill, there is no difference. Qi Yin was a little lost, and argued with conscience: "No! There is a grass in your hair, I'll just take you."
Fu Lan was confused, there was obviously no grass here.
Qi Yin rolled over and got off the stone, crouched beside the black cat, and asked angrily, "Why?"
"Look at this, does it look like a human face?" The black cat pointed to the rock wall.
The rock wall is uneven, and the place where the black cat is pointing just protrudes a large piece, which is vaguely the outline of a person's face.
"It's a coincidence, I often see a face in the wood grain." Qi Yin said.
"The old man just woke up and saw this face staring at the old man. If he didn't dig, the old man felt uncomfortable." The black cat digs the rock wall with its claws. Anyway, it's okay to be idle. Qi Yin picked it up and used the Gui Mei sword to pry the stone, and Fu Lan also came to help. After a while, the limestone rolled and the stone fell down. Qi Yin covered her mouth and nose, waiting for the dust to disperse, she was stunned.
Behind the rock wall, there are many bones. There are people, and there are monsters. The monsters are larger and occupy almost the entire rock wall. The human bones are stacked layer upon layer, as if they were frozen in the wall, showing a twisted and painful posture.
"Look, the old man just said it. I have been having nightmares, and I always feel that someone is crying in my ear." The black cat said angrily, "It's these lonely ghosts who are making trouble."
"These bones look old, no matter how ferocious the ghosts are, they will be gone. I guess the humidity in the cave makes you have nightmares." Qi Yin pulled the bones with the scabbard, "How can these bones be In the wall? How did they get in?"
Fu Lan smashed other rock walls, which were also full of bones.
"Is it a sacrifice?" Qi Yin asked.
"Impossible," the black cat said, "the ritual of the temple does not include burying the sacrifices in the wall. The sacrifices are all offered to the gods of heaven, earth, mountains and rivers, especially to the great god Bailu. If you are buried in the wall, what will the gods do? enjoy?"
"Buried? Is there a tomb here?"
"It's impossible. This is the Bashan Temple. Who is so bold to build a tomb next to the temple? This is a sin of blasphemy!"
"There are gods and witches." Fu Lan picked out a white deer mask from the stones, "They came from the water just like us."
"Why?" Qi Yin asked.
"Because there is only one way to go by water," the black cat reminded him, "this cave is closed. If you want to come here, you can only fall into the swamp and be dragged in by those ghost hands. It seems that this place is not safe. If ordinary people come here Here, they will try their best to leave, but they all died here, which means that they can't walk through the waterway, and they will most likely be dragged back by those inexplicable ghost hands. They stayed in this cave, and they all died in this cave. into the wall."
Qi Yin was exhausted, and since entering this ghost place, nothing has been smooth. The guys sorted out the corpses that had just broken through the rock wall and laid them flat on the ground. After all, they are the ancestors, and they must be respected, lest they stay silent and harm others. Qi Yin burned a piece of talisman paper and burned it as a yellow paper for them, "My ancestors, don't think too much, the younger generation is poor, there is only so much, you will have flowers. By the way, for the sake of Bailu Great God , If you have any clues of a way out, please point out a way, the younger generation is very grateful!"
The talisman paper burned to ashes, and there was silence all around, and nothing happened. Qi Yin sighed and inadvertently looked to the side, and saw a line of words written on the place where the bones were buried just now. Qi Yin felt agitated and greeted Black Cat and Fu Lan over, "Look, the ancestor really left a message."
"Maybe it's the last words of dying." The black cat smacked his lips.
Everyone leaned over, what was written on the rock wall was the wrong book of gold, and the black cat examination school Qi Yin did the wrong book of gold, and asked him to translate it. Qi Yin recognized it word by word, and said, "Great God... Jiang Yang, the god witch, Xiao Crescent... Are you here for a visit? Ha? What are you doing? The ancestors have troubled their brains. Write this in the last words?"
The author says:
Qi Yin: When can I end my unrequited love
Yang Su: In the next life.
I've been busy with graduation recently, the update is late, sorry!
Jiang Yang is Bailu's name, everyone has forgotten, Haha (covers face)
