Chapter 88 (Two in One)
Perhaps, it was because he was wrong.
Why didn't he keep running? Why stop?
Why was he not afraid of the flames that would put his people to death?
Because, he has seen something scarier than flames.
——
After leaving the cemetery engulfed by the sea, Xiao Gouzi led the four of them around the mountain.
There is no sunlight here, and it is foggy everywhere. Xie Shuci can't feel the passage of time. How long has passed since they came down to the present, several people can't tell.
"Where are the ruins of the Banxia clan?" Xie Shuci asked.
Xiao Gouzi shook his head, "There's nothing left there."
It is recorded in the genealogy that after the tragic death of the Banxia family, the villagers realized that they had made a big mistake, and fearing revenge from their ghosts, poured their ashes into the river, and dug the charred land into the ground. Three feet, covered with fresh thick soil, covered with unknown weeds, year after year.
In the absence of sunlight all year round, although the trees did not wither, they carried heavy moisture, forming many swamps emitting a foul smell.
The king was blinded by the pungent smell, and buried his head tightly in Xie Shuci's arms.
Although Xie Shuci felt a little distressed, he couldn't help but find it funny when he saw the round back of his head and the drooping ears on top of his head.
"Don't you believe that I let you stay on the boat? You deserve it."
"Aw!" the king cried out aggrievedly.
How does the baby know that it smells so bad here? And the baby wants to protect you!
Xie Shuci took out the magic weapon of Fu Long, and let the king hold it in his mouth like Xie An did before.
Xiao Gouzi and Si Kongxin walked in front, Si Kongxin asked some details about the year, Xie Shuci knew almost everything, so he didn't care to listen, and followed them two steps behind the little blind man.
Perhaps because he is used to it, Xie Shuci is no longer afraid of the weird environment around him.
He glanced at Xie An beside him, and touched his right hand hanging by his side, Xie An grabbed him with his backhand and held him in his hand.
Xie Shuci made a symbolic gesture, "What are you doing? I just wanted to ask if you're cold."
Xie An held his hand and said calmly, "Really."
"Yes." Xie Shuci nodded confidently.
Xie An nodded, and let go of his hand directly, but Xie Shuci held it back instead, shrugged and sighed: "Since you want to hold it, then hold it, anyway, we two brothers hold each other in front of outsiders. What happened to your hand?"
Xie An couldn't help but raised his brows, and squeezed the hand that Xie Shuci took the initiative to approach.
The little blind man's slender fingers gently pressed against his skin.
Xie Shuci leaned half of his body on his shoulder, almost being dragged forward by him, looking weak.
"Unhappy?" Xie An turned his head slightly to look at Xie Shuci.
Xie Shuci muttered: "We are all in doubt, how can I be happy?"
Xie An laughed lowly after hearing this, and asked, "Just because of this?"
Xie Shuci frowned, "Of course there are other reasons. You said, why did we encounter all these crap? Is it predestined?"
Xie An fell silent for a long time before he said, "These people you don't like happened after you met me."
If it were someone else, after listening to what he said, they would probably put what happened to him these days on him.
But after Xie Shuci finished listening, his expression became depressed, "Little blind man, if it weren't for me, you wouldn't have encountered these things."
From Xie Shuci's point of view, after he came to this world, although he did not meet Xiao Xun and did not die at his hands, it caused a series of butterfly effects. If the little blind man hadn't followed him, maybe he wouldn't have met Xiao Xun. He's been through these things together.
Xie An: "..."
Just as Xie Shuci was sighing, the three people in front turned their heads. Xie Shuci reflexively wanted to shake off Xie An's hand, but Xie An gathered his five fingers and held him firmly.
well here light
The thread was dim, and their intertwined hands hanging by their sides did not attract attention.
But Xie Shuci is a character who is prone to guilty conscience, so he avoided looking at the three of them, lowered his head, coughed twice in a concealed manner, and asked, "What, what?"
Si Kongxin looked around the two of them, not knowing if he found anything.
Liu Dazhuang looked at them strangely and said, "Why are you two so close?"
Xie Shuci said with a dry smile, "Keep warm, keep warm."
"Is it cold?" Liu Dazhuang looked at them suspiciously, "My body is warm, or..."
Xie Shuci's and Xie An's entangled hands separated instantly.
Xie Shuci took a step back, and Xie An lowered his head and straightened his cuffs.
"You don't have to." Xie Shuci said with a wooden face.
Si Kongxin looked at the reactions of the two with great interest, but did not point out, and said: "We discussed it, and it is not an option to search aimlessly like this. No one can be sure whether Ban Xiaxi will take the initiative to attack."
"So?" Xie Shuci asked suspiciously.
Si Kongxin said: "Actually, it's the same as Chunsheng Mountain. The easiest way is to ask Ban Xiaxi."
After Xie Shuci heard it, he hesitated, "But now...he reminded us before he came, it's better to stay away from him."
Si Kongxin nodded and said: "I have considered this. Ban Xiaxi's resentment has dyed the water black, but the kindness in his heart has not completely disappeared. Maybe finding water that represents the kindness in his heart has not been polluted, and we can temporarily Let his consciousness be covered by the positive side."
Xie Shuci nodded, feeling that his words made sense, and turned around and couldn't help asking: "But the space here is not small, how can I find the kindness in his heart?"
Hearing this, Si Kongxin also fell silent, which was indeed a difficult problem for them.
Xiao Gouzi lowered his head and said to everyone, "I know where it is."
"really?"
The four looked at him in surprise.
Xiao Gouzi said: "In the beginning there were seven lakes in the mountain, and the lake water was sweet and delicious. Later, the water of the other six lakes turned black one after another, and only the last lake remained. That lake was the only clear water in Chunsheng Mountain."
If the kind thoughts in Ban Xiaxi's heart were completely replaced by resentment, the little dog would also lose the water source he needed to survive, but when he said these words, he always looked insignificant.
Perhaps after thousands of years of time, there is no difference between life and death for him.
"It's not too late, brother, please take us there." Si Kongxin immediately clasped his fists at the little dog with a solemn expression.
But the little dog said, "You'd better not go near that place."
Xie Shuci was puzzled and said, "Why?"
The little dog said: "Actually, the monks who come to the mountain will not be killed immediately. After they hide in the mountain for a period of time, they will continue to search for water sources under the erosion of the miasma. Once they get close to the small lake, they will die." Killed. You monks cannot approach that place."
Si Kongxin looked puzzled, "You can?"
"Yeah." Little Gouzi nodded slightly, "That lake is the only place in the mountain where there is no miasma. The lake is crystal clear and crystal clear."
"In this way, is it because you drank the water that you are not affected by the miasma?"
The little dog said: "I don't know."
Sikong said: "It's not impossible."
Liu Dazhuang shouted: "Then what should we do? We can't get close, and Ban Xiaxi doesn't want to see Brother Gou, so the only way is..."
Liu Dazhuang paused for a moment, then suddenly remembered something, and cast his eyes on Xie An.
"Then there is only little brother Xie An!" Liu Dazhuang said.
Xie Shuci said with a straight face, "Don't even think about it, it's impossible."
What a joke, let the little blind man go to such a dangerous situation alone, wouldn't that just push him into the fire pit? If something happened inside, the little blind man wouldn't know where to go if he wanted to run. It's so quiet here, he can be considered to be able to hear the sound to argue, but there is no sound to argue.
Si Kongxin glanced at Xie An, thinking that in his current state of separation of soul and body, if you say he is a monk, he is also a monk.
If you say he is not a monk, he is not a monk either. After all, the golden core and spiritual veins of the body have been destroyed in a serious way, but don’t know why the soul has not been affected in the slightest, but has been strengthened instead.
This question really stumped several people.
Since the little dog said that monks would die if they approached, it was impossible for Xie Shuci and the others to bet their own lives, and it was even more impossible for the little blind man to go alone.
Just when everyone was hesitating, Xie An sighed almost inaudibly, lifted the king out of Xie Shuci's arms, took off the magic weapon of Fu Long that he was holding in his mouth, and said: "There are no dragons around the lake. The miasma is the place where the good thoughts in Ban Xiaxi's heart gather, as long as he appears, coupled with the magic weapon of subduing the dragon, it can stabilize his emotions."
"Aw!"
Xiangxiang's treasure was taken away, and the king complained.
When everyone heard it, they felt quite reasonable.
The lake was formed by the kind thoughts in his heart. In front of his kind thoughts, even if the resentment in his heart is strong, there is Fu Long magic weapon to resist the resentment, which should allow him to temporarily maintain a positive personality.
Xie Shuci and Xie An have been together day and night, knowing that their little blind man has become a blockbuster and unconditionally agree with his words, while Si Kongxin knows his true identity and chooses to believe his words. As for Liu Dazhuang, after hearing the little blind man make such a statement A series of insightful thoughts, amazed.
"I didn't expect you blind man to be quite smart."
Xie An glanced at him indifferently.
Xie Shuci was a little unhappy after hearing his words, "Why is a blind man not blind? He has a name."
Liu Dazhuang pursed his lips: "Don't let anyone tell you about the blind man? Besides, don't you care about him being called a little blind man?"
Xie Shuci: "That's the nickname I gave him, can it be the same?"
Xie An: "..."
Si Kongxin: "..."
Liu Dazhuang looked at them suspiciously, and said firmly: "There is a problem, there is a problem! You two definitely have a problem!"
"I warn you not to talk nonsense, be careful I will sue you for defamation!"
Liu Dazhuang flipped Byakugan, "Sick."
Xiao Gouzi stood aside and listened to their quarrel, the corners of his mouth raised up involuntarily.
Unlike the outsiders before, he could feel the anger from them, the breath of being alive.
From the ordinary and childish noises, can feel a trace of human warmth, which is the most precious thing in Xie Shuci.
"Okay, let's ask brother to take us there first." Si Kongxin said to Xiaogouzi.
Liu Dazhuang said: "Brother Dog, please lead the way!"
This time the little dog didn't refuse any more, and nodded obediently, so he led the four of them to the opposite direction.
The magic weapon of Fu Long exudes an auspicious smell, and the miasma and dust floating in the air avoid everyone.
Not long after, the little dog led them into a dense forest.
The soil in the woods is wet, and every time you step on it, it will bring up thick soil, and there is still a rotten stench in the soil. Xie Shuci is unbearable. He pinches his nose with his hands, pulls the little blind man's arm, and slowly move forward.
The smell was so pungent that Si Kongxin and Liu Dazhuang couldn't help frowning with disgust.
But the little dog seemed to have been used to it for a long time, shuttling through the extremely smelly dense forest expressionlessly.
"My dear, this damn smells too bad!" Liu Dazhuang scolded while pinching his nose.
The little dog said in a flat tone: "There are many livestock and human corpses here. It is the smell of the corpses after they rot in the soil."
When Xie Shuci heard it, his face immediately changed color, "You...didn't you say...you collected their corpses..."
Xiao Gouzi said: "The whole body was collected."
Xie Shuci asked with a wooden face: "What about the incomplete ones?"
The little dog glanced at the wet and sticky soil on the ground, and the meaning was self-evident.
Xie Shuci's heart skipped a beat, and he looked forward along the place where the pearl's light shone, and there seemed to be a piece of red hem in the dark brown mud on the ground.
"Ouch—" Xie Shuci's stomach acid was churning, and he was so disgusted that there were stars in front of his eyes. He said, how could there be a place that smells worse than a toilet? If there is, it is the smell of countless corpses decomposing in the mud that has not seen the sun all year round. ! This is definitely the most disgusting smell in the world, bar none.
"vomit"
Before Xie Shuci had time to think about whether his reaction was a little embarrassing, he saw Liu Dazhuang behind him, just like him, clutching his stomach and retching, his face ashen.
"Brother..."
"Second brother..."
The two looked at each other, "Ouch!"
After knowing what was in the soil under his feet, Xie Shuci wanted to cut off his legs. Unfortunately, although he has learned to master spiritual power, the most important thing is that he has not yet learned to fly!
"Is there a serious problem?" Xie An leaned down and patted him on the back.
Xie Shuci said with a sad face: "Little blind man...I want to go home...It's disgusting...My wife is so disgusting..."
Xie Shuci thinks that he really can't be blamed for his timidity. Although he is not a ghost, he has always been in awe of ghosts and gods, but this... this soil... this mud...
The thought that every foot he stepped on might have other people's flesh and blood made his stomach feel uncomfortable.
Xie An looked quite helpless, and said, "You should stay on the boat the most."
Xie Shuci was almost tearful, "If I knew it was such a place, I would have obediently returned to the boat. Wouldn't it be nice for him to sleep in the cabin? It's too uncomfortable!"
Xie An squeezed his arm, "Stand up."
"Huh?" Xie Shuci looked at him in confusion.
"I'll carry you on my back."
Xie Shuci sniffled, "But...but..."
He "but" for a long time before he could hold back a sentence: "I'm my brother."
Xie An picked up one of his arms and placed it on his shoulder, "Come on, brother."
When Xie An said the word "brother" lightly, it made the heart beat wildly for no reason.
The king was thrown to Si Kongxin by him, he supported Xie Shuci's legs with both hands, and easily carried him on his back.
Xie Shuci struggled symbolically, as if trying to get him.
Being picked up by the blind man, Xie Shuci used his spiritual power to wash off the dirt on his shoes, and then quietly lay on Xie An's back.
"Oh, my brother is so kind, he is the best brother in the whole world." Xie Shuci couldn't help sighing.
Xie An didn't pay attention to him, he was afraid that he would press the peach blossom around his waist and press down his legs a little bit.
Liu Dazhuang watched the scene of "Brothers and Brothers Gong" from behind, and his eyes were full of envy. He tiptoed and walked forward a few steps, and went to Si Kongxin's side, rubbing his hands wryly, " Brother Sikong...Look..."
He pointed to the harmonious scene of Xie Shuci and the two, meaning something.
Si Kongxin glanced at him in disbelief, can you count your own weight?
"No, get out." Si Kongxin refused cleanly.
Liu Dazhuang sighed after hearing this, "Sure enough, our brotherhood is fake, but others' brotherhood is real."
Xie Shuci hugged Xie An's neck, thinking about brotherhood? This is proper love for them, love, love!
Xie Shuci freed his legs, sat up straight on Xie An's back, and looked around. The shade of the trees was mottled, but there was some faint light coming from ahead.
Xie Shuci wanted to see more clearly, so he lifted his head up, only to hear a "bang", Xie Shuci raised his head too high and hit a tree trunk.
"hiss"
Xie An: "..."
"Don't move."
"Oh."
Xie Shuci obediently lay back.
"arrive."
Not long after, the puppy who was walking in the front stopped and said to everyone.
At this time, they had already walked out of the dense forest and came to a place similar to a valley. There was a gravel beach at the bottom of the valley, and in front of the beach was a lake exuding glistening white light.
Sure enough, there is no miasma here, nor those strange smells, Xie Shuci patted Xie An on the shoulder, motioning him to put himself down.
see the letter of thanks
Xie An frowned at the attitude of waving it away, and put him down.
Xie Shuci stared blankly at the lake in front of him, and was a little dumb for a while.
The lake is several feet wide, and the water is clear and flowing. Below it are broken stones that are illuminated by the white light, like the Milky Way slowly flowing in the sky.
And in the center of the lake, a foot below the water surface, there was a round object emitting light. Xie Shuci didn't know what it was, but he could feel a steady stream of pure spiritual power emanating from the center of the lake to the surroundings.
The lake in the valley seems to have turned the world upside down. The lake is the dazzling Milky Way in the sky, and the object exuding spiritual power is like a cold moon, dotted with the surrounding stars and complement each other.
This lake is extremely beautiful, like the map of the galaxy that Xie Shuci once saw. Thousands of stars gather in the lake, and it is really a star that can be picked by hand.
Xiao Gouzi saw the glowing object in the lake, but his expression was a bit puzzled, and he said, "I came here not long ago. At that time, there was no such thing in the water."
As soon as this remark came out, several people were shocked, "Really?"
"It's absolutely true." The little dog said.
Liu Dazhuang didn't care so much, he asked Xie Shuci to borrow a bronze tripod, went to the lake to scoop up a pot of water, went to sit on a rock beside him, and after vigorously cleaning the dirt on his boots, he was still a little psychologically shadowed, Going to wash it with water.
He was washing, and suddenly felt a dark wind blowing behind him, as if there were a pair of eyes in the corner, staring at him fiercely.
Isn't that a fierce look in the eyes, using the water gathered by other people's kind thoughts to wash the boots, this kind of behavior is simply called: making a big death.
Liu Dazhuang sensed something was wrong, and hurriedly put down his leg, "I won't wash it, I won't wash it."
Then he quickly poured the water back, but just as he walked to the lake, a stream of water tied his ankles, hoisted him halfway into the air, and then threw him back into the dense forest that they passed by when they came. middle.
"Ah!!" Liu Dazhuang yelled.
Everyone: "..."
A moment later, Liu Dazhuang returned to the crowd covered in mud and smelling bad.
Xie Shuci hurriedly pulled Xie An back a few steps, pinching his nose in disgust.
Si Kongxin pinched his fingers, helped him wash his body, and cursed: "It deserves it."
"He's here?" Si Kongxin asked.
The little dog said: "Where there is water, there is him, and where there is me, he will not appear."
"Let's see what's in the water first," Xie Shuci suggested.
Little Gouzi was also a little curious about this sudden thing, so he nodded and led the four of them across the river bank, stepping on the gravel all over the place, to the bank in the middle of the lake, and looked into the water.
As they got closer, they found that under the cover of white light, the object emitted wisps of faint blue light, and the spiritual power came from that faint blue light.
"Aw!"
At this moment, the king lying on Si Kongxin's body suddenly yelled towards the water.
The sudden cry echoed in the silent valley, and Xie Shuci was startled.
"Don't yell!" Xie Shuci lifted it out of Si Kongxin's arms.
"Aww!"
The king, however, refused to let go, and barked at the objects in the lake, and yelled at Xie Shuci's clothes.
A flash of light flashed in Xie Shuci's mind, and he hugged the king, "The thing in the water is Lord Water God?"
"Aw!" The king nodded.
It remembered the breath of the water god's spiritual power, full of surging vitality, and painted a scene of mountains, rivers, birds singing and flowers in front of it.
After hearing this, Si Kongxin and the others looked at the water in shock.
"This is... Ban Xiayin?" Si Kongxin murmured.
He could feel that the spiritual power was very strong and gentle. If he had such a powerful spiritual power back then, the Ban Xia clan might not have perished. This can only show that Ban Xiayin, like Ban Xiaxi, continued to practice with her soul after her death.
"Master Water God? Lord Water God!"
Xie Shuci stood on the bank and shouted twice, but there was no movement in the water.
Lord Water God appeared here, he should have met Ban Xiaxi long ago, why did Ban Xiaxi leave Chunsheng Mountain in order to avoid him?
"Big Zhuang." Si Kongxin called out, and the latter immediately understood what he meant, flew up from the spot, walked to the middle of the lake, hovered in mid-air, and carefully observed the objects below.
I don’t know if Ban Xiaxi is spying on a few people in the dark, but he doesn’t seem to have any plans to attack other people, or maybe because of the influence of the lake of good thoughts and the magic weapon of Fu Long, his consciousness is temporarily covered by the positive personality, and he dare not Appeared in front of several people.
Not long after, Liu Dazhuang flew back from the lake.
"How?" Si Kongxin asked.
Xie Shuci and Xiao Gouzi stared at him closely.
Liu Dazhuang frowned and said, "He seems to be trapped underwater by something."
Si Kongxin asked, "Is there a way to untie it?"
Liu Dazhuang held the ax at his waist. It was not a problem for him to split the sky and the earth with the ax, but he was not sure about the thing in the water, so he shook his head and said, "Not sure."
"I don't dare to really chop, what if I annoy Ban Xiaxi." Thinking of the experience just now, he felt a chill, and he never wanted to experience it again.
Sikong said: "Try first if you can move him."
"it is good."
Liu Dazhuang nodded, and stood on the shore of the lake with Si Kongxin, gathering a cloud of spiritual power in his palm, which then turned into thousands of rays of light and flew towards the object in the middle of the lake.
"Do you need my help?" Xie Shuci poked his head out from behind.
Si Kongxin nodded, "Bring him out with spiritual power."
"Oh."
Xie Shuci walked up to them, imitating the two of them and hitting the objects in the lake with spiritual power, and the three of them worked together to lift the white light emitting objects out of the water with their spiritual power.
As the object slowly lifted into the air, everyone found that it was wrapped like a cocoon, and even four chains made of water flowed out of the lake, and were firmly tied to the "cocoon".
When it rises to a certain level, the four chains straighten, obviously stretched to the limit.
Surrounded by white light, a slender figure appeared faintly, with traces of blue spiritual power overflowing outward, forming blue and white rays of light.
"This is Sikong Xin, I have met senior."
Si Kongxin cupped his fists towards the blue and white aura.
Under the nervous gaze of everyone, the spiritual power lingering in the air began to become transparent, and finally formed a flowing water cage.
imprisoned.The figure imprisoned in the water cage gradually appeared in front of everyone.
