After all, Guidawan is another space, and the time there is roughly the same as the world we live in, but there is a slight difference.
How many months did I stay in Guidawan? How long was it exactly? I have no idea... After all, there is no distinction between day and night most of the time in that place, so I gradually forgot about time.
But by the time we came out, it was already deep winter weather outside.
Xiao Chengqian told me before that in the Holy Village, everyone lived a life of torture... Among them, Hui Gen'er's life was particularly difficult. Compared with others, Hui Gen'er's temper was more upright and hot, and she endured a lot of hardships. The torment is particularly numerous.
"Almost every two or three days, Hui Gen'er would be beaten up by those old monsters. If he hadn't been in good health, I think even those few months would have left him with permanent damage." Xiao Chengqian said Said.
The day my master and others appeared, that is, the day we escaped from Guidawan, was a snowy afternoon... The cold weather caused many places in the Yellow River to freeze, but due to the backwater bay, The water flow is extremely fast, but it can still flow normally.
And on that day, Hui Gen'er was beaten again. This time, I don't know if it was because she was mentally stretched to the limit and the pressure she endured reached the limit. So when Hui Gen'er came out of that terrible punishment room for the first time, , not coming out standing, but being carried out in a semi-conscious state.
Xiao Chengqian heard the news in the afternoon. Worried, he decided to violate the bottom line of the old monsters in the Holy Village again to visit Hui Gen'er and deliver some medicine to Hui Gen'er.
"Anyway, I protect them. This is no longer a secret in the Holy Village... It is something that has almost been made clear. Many people in the Holy Village feel that I should be imprisoned together, but Wu Tian's words Denied. I still live a seemingly "free" life in the inner village, but it is actually a kind of house arrest. I actually don't have much ability. Every action I take seems to challenge the bottom line of the old monsters in the Holy Village, but Sometimes I have to do it." This is how Xiao Chengqian described his situation at that time.
In fact, I also understand Xiao Chengqian's situation. Today when we had the opportunity to talk privately, I couldn't help but ask: "So, that Wu Tian seems to be treating you well? Why...?? "
There is too much content in this why, so I can’t even ask in detail, but I think Xiao Chengqian understands.
"Oh, he is nice to me? Do you know the reason? In fact, among his many descendants, only my fate is the most consistent with his. He wants to join forces with God and use a heaven-defying magic. Possessing my body and gaining youth is equivalent to 'taking my body', it is equivalent to lending me a new life... Do you understand? Speaking of which, in Guidawan, the god was destroyed and the Sky Pattern Stone lost its effectiveness. That secret technique It cannot be completed. If it is not you who come back successfully, but Wu Tian and others come back first, I will lose the value of my use."
So that's it... It turns out that this is the reason why Wu Tianhui is so kind to Xiao Chengqian, but so indifferent to other juniors.
And what are the consequences of losing its use value? I can imagine it without Xiao Chengqian explaining it in detail.
It's hard to believe that an ancestor would be so cruel to his descendants... Seeing my expression, Xiao Chengqian couldn't help but sneered and added: "Chengyi, do you know? Our generation treats Wu Tian His admiration and desire to follow him to death is no colder than your people's heart towards Master Li... When I first met him, when he explained his identity to me, you didn't know how excited I was... . Do you think I haven’t hesitated? Have I struggled? But what is the truth? I think you also know it. The fact is that he told me without concealment that my elders were sent to Guidawan for sacrifice by him. He said that useless things can only be like this. He can only accommodate the best juniors, and the achievements of my grandfather and his juniors were too disappointing... and he was optimistic about me and so on. From then on, I My heart grew cold towards him.”
Is this really the actual reason? Maybe there is, but the other reason is that Wu Liyu and my master are 'mingled' together. I'm afraid that after years of living and influencing each other, Wu Tian's 'Tao' may be difficult for them to accept, right
So in Wu Tian's opinion, instead of keeping these 'useless' descendants, it would be better to sacrifice them to the partner 'god'. Presumably, if the god can successfully devour my master and his group, his skill will be greatly increased.
However, something went wrong in the middle, and the gods failed to succeed. However, my master and the others fell into a state of "trance" inexplicably. Grandma Ling Qing... There are too many puzzles in this process, and the master did not cooperate with them. I mentioned it before, because I didn’t ask, so it seemed like it was time to ask.
As for being optimistic about Xiao Chengqian? Wasn't this lie exposed by Xiao Chengqian? Initially, Wu Tian wanted to hide it, but then Xiao Chengqian told me. Later, because Wu Tian cared so much about him, he was confused, and he paid more and more attention to Wu Tian's every move. From many small clues, he pieced together Wu Tian. God might take advantage of him.
"Actually, I still had a glimmer of hope before, but then you were brought to the altar, and he wanted to steal your spiritual consciousness and give it to me. Do you remember? He just wanted to make this body that belongs to him more perfect. ." Xiao Chengqian lit another cigarette as he spoke.
I was silent. It must be very painful to be treated like this by our ancestors, right? And I think it's a coincidence that God wants to take away my body, and Wu Tian wants Xiao Chengqian's body. It seems that people who have reached the extreme on the path of 'self' commit the same 'evil', that is Taking selfishness as a person's own bad nature to the extreme.
I patted Xiao Chengqian on the shoulder and didn't know what to say, but after I escaped from the altar and fled to Guidawan... Wu Tian didn't hide anything from Xiao Chengqian at all. He felt that Xiao Chengqian should sacrifice himself for him. , the reason for the delay in taking action was that I had already entered Guidawan at that time, and God had been planning to get my destiny as a boy, so I put Wu Tian's matter aside for now.
Without the cooperation of God, Wu Tian could not complete this heaven-defying secret technique... Therefore, cause and effect are all interlocking chains. Xiao Chengqian sacrificed his life to save me. From a certain perspective, he inexplicably saved himself. .
"In short, this is what happened to me in the Holy Village... Let me continue, that afternoon, I took the wound medicine to the solitary room. Because there was something wrong with those old monsters, it went surprisingly smoothly... Everyone They were all put in a solitary room, said to be for the convenience of supervision. When I went there, Hui Gen'er was still unconscious and even had a high fever. You know, with Hui Gen'er's constitution, there is no such thing as a fever. It was like a 'myth' to him. At that time, I was very scared and felt that this ordinary fever was just like a sign, which meant that Hui Gen'er really couldn't hold it anymore..." At this point, Xiao Chengqian frowned. He frowned and took a few long puffs of cigarette, feeling a little distracted before he calmed down.
Then he said: "And I have no way to stop those perverted old monsters from torturing them, especially Hui Gen'er's temper... I'm afraid that if this continues, Hui Gen'er will be gone. How should I explain to you? Hui Gen'er. I am your brother."
From Xiao Chengqian's narration, I also felt a heart-stopping sadness. If I were Xiao Chengqian, I would probably be more excited and collapsed than him at that time... After all, Hui Gen'er has almost been 'attached' to me since she was a child. Especially after losing Uncle Hui, I really can't stand even the slightest bit of harm to him, let alone what happens when this happens
My palms were covered in cold sweat, and I couldn't help but take a cigarette from Xiao Chengqian and light it.
Xiao Chengqian continued: "Of course it can't go on like this. It was cold and damp in the solitary room, and the snow was extremely heavy that day... Hui Gen'er kept talking nonsense, talking about Master, Master Jiang, shouting Brother Zhu... At that time, everyone was tortured so much. When they saw Hui Gen'er's condition, they were very emotionally unstable. Several women were crying. You have to know that they are actually very strong and rarely cry... And Cheng Cheng Holding Hui Gen'er in his heart, his expression is a little dull. The situation of other men is not much better. I know you may not want to hear it, but I can describe it to you. Everyone is wearing heavy shackles, and Tao Bo It was directly locked... to the wall! At that time, I felt that I was everyone's only hope. Hui Gen'er couldn't drag it on any longer. I didn't know where I got the strength, so I carried it on my back. Hui Gen'er, I want to take him out. At that moment I made up my mind, no matter what I give in exchange, I will save Hui Gen'er first... and make those people promise not to torture everyone anymore. I know, those people's promises It's not reliable, but at least it can delay it for a while... until you come back, you are the only hope in that thick despair."
Having said this, Xiao Chengqian's hands trembled uncontrollably.
Hasn’t it been a deep darkness since I left? And at that moment, just like when dawn is about to come, the darkness becomes thicker and thicker, making people unable to see the end of the night, and there is only cold despair.
"Huh..." Xiao Chengqian took a long breath, and then said apologetically: "I was excited, but at that time I really felt that I had reached a dead end. However, this kid Hui Gen'er didn't know that he had a fever. Confused, or something wrong? The moment I carried him, his tone suddenly became sober, and he said in my ear, 'Here we come, I feel that my brother is back, and I feel that Master and the others are also coming back. '."
