There seemed to be a large delicate and gentle hand surrounding Tang Zhuo.
dark. Breathless. Bottomless.
...is he really a "dead man"
It turned out that don Juanxi and Lu Chunqiu had long known that he was half evil. In Tangmen Bay that day, Lu Chunqiu said to him, "Mother shouldn't have given birth to you", and then pushed him down the Soul Eater Valley.
Over the years, the sight of falling into Soul Eater Valley has always been Tang Zhuo's nightmare. It made him suspect that the first sixteen years were just a sweet dream, and a person like him should have no right to be born.
The vines wrapped Tang Zhuo tightly. sank deeply.
…
"Tang Zhuo..."
"Tang Zhuo!"
Tang Zhuo suddenly opened his eyes.
In the woods, the first thing Tang Zhuo saw was Xuan Ziyuan. Shi Jin and Shi Yichen were still lying on the side and didn't wake up. Xuan Ziyuan helped Tang Zhuo up, Tang Zhuo saw that Xiao Hei had changed back to a human form, and stood far away with a group of "cannibals", when he saw Tang Zhuo wake up, he rolled over like the wind and said, "Boss!!! Boss, you are back to life!!!"
Tang Zhuo wanted to say that he was not dead. Seeing those "cannibals", I felt even more puzzled. Xiao Hei said: "Boss, they helped dig you out of there!"
Hearing the word "dig", Tang Zhuo's brows twitched. Instantly, a group of people gathered around the swamp to dig him out in embarrassment. He glanced at Xuan Ziyuan. Xuan Ziyuan's eyes were not knowing where he was looking, it was a little strange. Tang Zhuo coughed and said to Xiao Hei, "Yes, yes? Then please help me and thank them."
Xiao Hei excitedly said: "Boss, let me introduce to you, they are the people I followed in the show!"
"Cannibals" all of a sudden gathered around and said, "Hello, big brother."
Tang Zhuo: "???"
Xiao Hei smiled "hehe", showing his big white teeth, and said, "I still remember my name!"
It turned out that these people were not really cannibals. They were originally street performers, but they were persecuted by the black-robed man. They deliberately pretended to be cannibals to be scary, attracting people from Xuanmen into the mountains, and then handing them over to the black-robed man to kill them. But why the man in black robe did this, they didn't understand either.
If the residents suddenly disappear and disappear, it will definitely cause some suspicion, but if it is to arrest beggars, entertainers, and basically no one knows their names, it is much easier to handle.
Xiao Hei originally turned into a bug, but after turning back into a human being, he was immediately recognized by these entertainers. And Xiao Hei also remembered the name when he was in the world - Hyacinth.
When Xiao Hei first came out of Soul Eater Valley, he was still a monster that drank blood. On the road, he met a Taoist and was influenced by the Taoist. Because when he met the Taoist, the surrounding was covered with hyacinths, so he was named "hyacinth".
Tang Zhuo gave the group of entertainers some talisman papers, but they could hide their breath for a period of time and not be tracked by the black-robed people. The entertainers thanked them one after another and greeted them when they descended the mountain: "Ah Feng!"
Xiao Hei, or Hyacinth, glanced back at them at this time, turned to Tang Zhuo and said, "Boss, can I send them out of Jiangxi first!"
Tang Zhuo nodded.
Xiao Hei cheered and followed the entertainers down the mountain. Tang Zhuo saw their figures gradually disappear, and suddenly felt a little relieved.
Tang Zhuo turned his head and saw Xuan Ziyuan leaning against a tree alone, and leaned forward with a smile on his face, "Ziyuan."
Xuan Ziyuan's face was cold, as if he was owed several hundred taels of silver. Tang Zhuo felt a little guilty and pulled him, but Xuan Ziyuan still refused to look at him and said, "How many things are you hiding from me?"
Tang Zhuo said: "I already told you what I wanted to tell you, and you already knew what I didn't want to tell you."
Xuan Ziyuan said, "How did you live in Soul Eater Valley?"
Tang Zhuo's face turned pale, and he said vaguely: "That's how I lived... Don't worry, it won't be sad, don't you think I'm still alive and kicking!"
Xuan Ziyuan knew that Tang Zhuo would not tell him no matter what, and asked again, "What about the two years after he came out?"
Tang Zhuo wrote lightly: "Hey, I grew up in Xuanmen, and suddenly I went to live in the folk alone. Of course, I was a little unhappy, but am I still coming back?"
Xuan Ziyuan asked again, "...Why didn't you come to me?"
Tang Zhuo could feel that Xuan Ziyuan had been holding back this sentence for a long time, and he couldn't say it for a while, so he faltered and tried to fool the past. Xuan Ziyuan didn't ask anymore.
Tang Zhuo said, "Have you guessed who it is?"
Refers to the black robe. Hyun Jae-won looked back at him. Tang Zhuo had a premonition that the two guesses were the same, and said, "Is it Hyun?"
Xuan Ziyuan nodded and said, "Although the tone of his speech has been concealed, he can still feel that it is Xuan. Furthermore, the few swords he used to ward off evil spirits were the Xuan family swordsmanship. "
Tang Zhuo guessed that it was not this, but the black-robed man who said that he would kill Tang Zhuo and make it into a scorpion. The word "refining" reminded Tang Zhuo of the one-armed Yama immediately, so he deduced that this person was Hyun. However, Tang Zhuo had never actually seen Hyunjin very much, and his understanding of him was just hearsay.
However, why is Hyun-chan dyed with black energy? Moreover, if those ghosts and ghosts were forged...
Then, was this monstrous storm that swept all over the world, was it all planned by Hyun? !
At this time, Shi Jin and Shi Yichen woke up. Shi Jin suddenly jumped up from the ground, shivering and holding a mocking wind: "Where's that black robe???!!!"
Shi Yichen said, "Let's go!"
Shi Jin let out a breath. When he saw Tang Zhuo again, his eyes almost popped out, and he said, "Why are you full of holes in Dashao???"
The word "whole body" is too exaggerated. When Tang Zhuo said this, he suddenly remembered that he was also injured. However, his ability to bear the pain improved a lot later. Tang Zhuo pretended to be weak and leaned down and said, "Ah! It hurts so much!"
The first to take the bait was naturally Hyun Jae-yeon. Tang Zhuo fell into Xuan Ziyuan's arms. Xuan Ziyuan had a cold face and didn't want to talk to him, but then he finally broke down and said, "??? Are you alright!"
Tang Zhuo said weakly: "I... Of course I have something to do... I don't seem to be able to walk, you carry me... "
Xuan Ziyuan really carried Tang Zhuo on his back. Tang Zhuo immediately hugged Xuan Ziyuan's neck with a smile on his face, and jumped up again and said, "Let's go down the mountain now to find the ghost town!"
When Xuan Ziyuan heard that he suddenly "lived", he turned his head to look at him in surprise. Seeing Tang Zhuo grinning at him, he immediately realized that he had been tricked again, and was going to throw him down. This time Tang Zhuo was really pulled into the wound, and with a very real "hiss", Xuan Ziyuan didn't really throw him down.
Several people rested while approaching the ghost town, and they just lay down for a few days after staying at the first inn they were looking for. Young people, recover quickly after exhaustion, Tang Zhuo did not know where to find out that there is a food street nearby, while Shi Jin and Shi Yichen didn't know, Xiao Hei happened to be away at this time, and when the night came, he would take Xuanzi away. Yuan dragged him out to play.
Leaving Montenegro, there are still many people in this place at night. Tang Zhuo couldn't help but recalled that he and Xuan Ziyuan had come out to play together in the evening of the Huanlingxi Baijia Banquet. The more he thought about it, the more beautiful he became. Xuan Ziyuan glanced at him and said, "What are you smiling at?"
Tang Zhuo said: "I just didn't expect that we were together ten years ago, and we can be together again ten years later."
Talking, Tang Zhuo's eyes dimmed and said, "I always have a hunch that if we really go to the ghost town, many places will be different from before. I always want to create more now. And remember some happy things, if something bad happens in the future, think about it, and I will feel comforted in my heart."
Xuan Ziyuan said, "Don't take what that person said to heart."
What he said was the words that Hyun Man whispered to him. Although Hyun Ziyuan did not hear what was said, he was sure that it was definitely not a good thing. Tang Zhuo thought to himself, fortunately he didn't know. Reluctantly smiled: "Hahaha, of course I won't take it to heart!"
Laughing, feeling tired again.
If what Hyun Man told him was true, he would have been a dead person long ago...
Tang Zhuo couldn't help but secretly glanced at Xuan Ziyuan and clenched his fists.
He originally came back just to get his innocence back, but gradually, as the incident went on, it seemed that something unplanned was about to be revealed.
Regardless of that. Tang Zhuo ate all the way and felt very good. Xuan Ziyuan looked at Tang Zhuo from behind, stretched out his hand and pulled Tang Zhuo's silver collar, and said, "Slow down, Tang Zhu."
Tang Zhuo turned his head and said, "Did you call me 'Tang Pig' addicted??!!"
Xuan Ziyuan said, "Tang pig, Tang pig, Tang pig, Tang pig, Tang pig, Tang pig, Tang pig."
Tang Zhuo said: "Childish!!"
Just ignore him. Xuan Ziyuan insisted on pulling him to talk, but he still held onto his silver collar. Tang Zhuo said, "Let go of me!! Xuangou!!"
Xuan Ziyuan tightened his neck and said, "What do you call me???"
Tang Zhuo was immediately frustrated and said, "It's nothing, nothing."
When Xuan Ziyuan walked in front of him, Tang Zhuo lowered his head, and was walked away like a dog by him. Xuan Ziyuan was about to turn and said, "Go this way." Tang Zhuo said weakly, "Oh..."
As we walked, there were no pedestrians on the street.
Tang Zhuo finally escaped from Xuan Ziyuan's claws, heaved a sigh of relief, touched his silver collar, and walked slowly behind. Xuan Ziyuan turned around, saw him dawdling, put his hand on his head, and shoved him forward. Tang Zhuo reacted, leaned on the shoulder of Xuan Ziyuan and smiled at him, Xuan Ziyuan put his arms around Tang Zhuo's shoulder, and the two went back to the inn.
On the second day, the four of them were walking, and they could already see a desolate town in the distance.
A sign was erected outside the town, the handwriting was indistinct, and the sign was stained with blood that had dried up for many years. Three words were written: "Orchid Town".
