The golden light of the mirage blends with the icy blue sea, which is magnificent and peaceful. However, in this paradise city, there is an unknown dark corner hidden.
Yun Zhongjun was alone, holding a long-lit lantern, and walked through many deadly traps, heading towards a long and narrow road. The more he took a step forward, the air became more eerie and weird. After a long time, the footsteps stopped, and the smell of decay hit his nostrils.
, the ever-burning lamp is like a shy star in the cold wind, suddenly becoming brighter and darker, flickering like a will-o'-the-wisp.
"You're here!" A horrifying voice suddenly sounded from the end of the sharp and thick darkness, the old and hoarse voice drawling extremely slowly.
"Yes, I'm here!" Yun Zhongjun stretched out his fingers to intensify the light, and the light illuminated his cunning and ethereal face. He narrowed his eyes and looked at the familiar figure from behind, and the light pulled his shadow away.
His hair was so long, like a scary bat, peeping at everything in the dark. After a few months, the white hair on that man's back had become much withered, and not even a single strand could be seen when the light shone on it.
reflection.
"I thought I had been forgotten a long time ago." A gloomy voice sounded, which sounded a bit ancient in the closed space. "What are you doing here again?"
Yun Zhongjun put down the long-bright lamp and methodically removed the tiny insects around the old man. Then he looked at him sitting cross-legged, his limbs tightly locked, and his wildly long hair completely covering his face. It was impossible to see what his expression was inside.
In front of his body, as always, there was a carved stone basin. A pool of cold water inside seemed to be trembling, groaning like a tide in the thick darkness. Yun Zhongjun was silent for a long time, and then he said with a smile: "Do it."
What? You know!"
"That's it! Regarding the long-standing topic of immortality, don't you think you have found the answer?" Although you can't see his face, you can guess from his mocking voice that there must be a strange look on the corner of his mouth at this moment.
Smile.
"Yes, I have found the answer. You are the person I respect and admire the most. Even though I have found the answer, I still want to hear what you mean again!" Yun Zhongjun's deep eyes flashed under the light.
Flickering faintly.
The old man's voice became slightly more urgent, as if he was a little excited, "The person I admire the most? Hahahaha, this Chinese character... If you didn't remind me, I would have thought I had turned into a ghost!"
"You have been keeping this basin of water. As a person, can't you feel its coldness?"
"What do you think?" The old man adjusted his breathing and his steady voice was extremely sharp.
"The water is still and clear, but the spirit is still. The heart of a saint is still, and it is a mirror for heaven and earth, and a mirror for all things. Isn't this the motto that allows you to be so carefree until now?" Yun Zhongjun said with some playfulness.
"Good luck, it seems I have to thank you for your care!" There was a hint of bitterness in the old man's voice, which sounded like self-mockery and helplessness. "Listen!" He suddenly hissed, "Guess, I'll listen.
What happened?"
Yun Zhongjun sneered, "Besides the sound of water, there is nothing else here! Any other nonsense discussion will only add to the sadness."
"No, no, no!" He immediately retorted: "I heard your heartbeat. What does it feel like? The heart feels like being pricked by needles, and the pain spreads from the atrium to the whole body. What's more, a soul will emit when it leaves the body.
Wail".
Yun Zhongjun was stunned, his eyes avoided the gaze under the white hair. For a long time, he raised his head and sighed, "I didn't expect that even now, you are still mocking me. In vain, I regard you as my most unlimited confidant and rival!"
"Really?" The old man's voice was indescribably ambiguous. Thanks to him, he achieved his eternal destiny.
"Okay, let's start the most familiar topic in our lives. A few months have passed, and I want to hear what other opinions you have."
The old man laughed for a long time, as if only at this time, this cold and lonely body would behave leisurely and uninhibited. His tone was extremely clever and sincere: "Life is boundless, without beginning or end.
, but it is a solid shackle, the only judge of life, invisible and pervasive, controlling the right of life and death, and controlling the beginning and end of every spirit. What is it? The mysterious will, the mysterious shackles, this
The topic is the soft belly of the world. Anyone who tries to hit here will be confused because of the failure." The exciting tone seems to convey the divine power from heaven and earth. It declares such a judgment. Whoever dares to flout the rules and insist on going his own way
, then he is rebelling against heaven and will not end well. This fluent declaration, with inexplicable excitement and irresistible power, seems to break all Yun Zhongjun's dreams, frightening him beyond belief.
refute.
Yun Zhongjun's eyes were looking at the lights that were about to burn out. His eyes were unpredictable. In an instant, he was confused and wavered. The words that were contrary to his own were like ghosts, quietly getting close to him and charming him.
Eroding him, he stretched out his hand anxiously to strengthen the light of the eternal lamp again, and all doubts disappeared in an instant. He still couldn't help but lament: "The hot heart that once beat was about to leap out into a glorious and great era. Now, you have indeed
I am old and have lowered my poor head in front of the years! Why compromise like this?"
"Hahahaha! It's pitiful for you. Time can't tolerate you, but you have been struggling. It's because you belong to that kind of person. You never need facts. Believe it or not, it just depends on the choice. Just make the right choice.
, if you make the wrong choice, everything will be in vain in the end!”
"Huh?, we are at odds with each other from now on, so there is no point in saying more!" Yun Zhongjun picked up the lamp and turned around slowly, unable to hide his sadness and melancholy.
"I'm afraid you won't come again in the future, right, Xu Fu?"
Xu Fu? He is the only one who can call this name! Yun Zhongjun's mood became more and more heavy. He remained silent and his muffled footsteps gradually moved away. He was unwilling and did not dare to stay in such a decaying place for a moment longer.

Taking advantage of the convenience, Tianming left Shao Yu and Shi Lan alone and came to a building road that had never been explored before. He opened the door obscenely, but accidentally made a clicking sound, unexpectedly alerting the people behind him.
He suddenly turned around in fear and saw two familiar faces. Then he lowered his head with peace of mind and raised his head and said, "Why are you here? You will be in bad luck with me!"
"Yes, kid, even if you say something conscientious, even if you are in bad luck, so what?" Shao Yu said with a smile and a hint of reproach.
"Next, let me go alone!"
Shi Lan rebuked: "Didn't you say you are not allowed to act alone? It's not dark yet, so let's leave with us first, and then make plans when it gets completely dark."
No, I've been in the mirage for so many days, but I haven't even seen the shadow of the moon, so I can't wait any longer. Tianming rolled his eyes, then pushed the door open intentionally or unintentionally, and the huge sound made everyone's heart beat.
Trembling, it attracted a few chaotic footsteps heading this way, "Hey! It seems we can't leave." Tian Ming smiled innocently at Shi Lan, who was frustrated.
Shi Lan's scolding look became more and more fierce, and she couldn't help but keep silent.
Tianming also knew that he was in trouble now, so he asked in a low voice: "Should we hide first?"
"What do you think?" As soon as he spoke, Shao Yu squeezed him roughly into the door.
Several guards on patrol arrived and saw that the door was still closed, so they knew that someone must have slipped in. But not only did not one of them dare to step in, but everyone's face was full of fear.
As Shao Yu ran, he looked behind him, full of doubts in his heart, "How could this door not be guarded before?"
"Yes! Four or five strange zombies were all eliminated by me and turned into nothing!" Tian Ming praised himself with pity.
"Really?" Shaoyu glanced at him doubtfully.
"Look ahead..." Shi Lan stopped.
What appeared in front of them was a huge door decorated with strange totems. The terrifying concave and convex eyes in the center made people shudder. Just when they were determined to push it open, "Creak!" the door suddenly opened on its own.
It was pitch black inside, and the dull sound of chaos made it look like the entrance to hell.
******
The ever-bright lamp in Yun Zhongjun's hand gradually went out. He slowly opened the door and walked out. A guard was already waiting outside. He hurriedly said: "Master Yun Zhongjun, someone broke into that forbidden area."
"Huh!? Really..." Yun Zhongjun was stunned, the melancholy on his face deepened.
******
The light from outside shone into the dark passage, stretching the ground very long. Three long shadows stopped at the door, watching the crack in the door become wider and wider. Deep in the depths, a gloomy air flow surged out, making people's hair stand on end.
"Come in with me!"
"Why?" Shao Yu tilted his head at Tian Ming.
"I'm the boss of the giants, you all have to listen to me!"
"It's from the Mo family, boy... uh! What's going on?" In the underworld, the flames of Qianjun's pendant connected one after another and spontaneously ignited at extremely fast speeds. The firelight and temperature instantly covered the entire road. Shao Yu smiled leisurely: "
Ha! It seems that there is an invisible force guiding us to accept greater challenges and dangers, so what are we waiting for?" On the long road, with these heroic words, I don’t know what fear is, the young man
Overlord, one hand is full of blood and strength, and the other hand is sharp.
"What kind of challenge?" Tianming asked curiously.
"Of course you won't know until you see it, you fool!"
"You're the fool!"
"If you are not a fool, then please lead the way!"
"Why didn't you bring it?" Tianming asked unconvinced.
"Are you afraid?"
"Huh! Just take it, you coward!" Tianming hesitated for a long time before taking the first step.
