Since the blood exchange in the Demon Realm was successful, I have often fallen into the same nightmare. In the dream, my name seems not to be Yinluo, but - Zhuo'er...
"Zhuo'er, do you really want to leave me?"
This voice was so familiar that I wanted to turn my head following the sound, but I couldn't help but continue to move forward, as if I was being deliberately suppressed by my heart.
"Zhuo'er! Is there really no room for redemption? Zhuo'er!"
The calls came one after another, and my heart ached, but my body seemed to be beyond my control.
In front of me was an endless expanse of barren mountains and gravel, and above my head was a roaring sound, which was a whirlpool, a blood-red whirlpool.
Suddenly I felt my eyes heat up, and I turned around as if I had made a lot of determination.
Then, I saw him. Not far from me, his golden brocade robe was filled with the wind and danced "Puff-Puff". He stood there, as motionless as a rock. Only that gaze,
Looking at me through the rising dust, I could barely see his face clearly.
Even so, this face is extremely clear in my mind.
"Cangli...Cangli..." Over and over again, this name appeared in my mind.
I suddenly remembered what I was doing at the moment: I wanted to seal the raging rotating vortex. So I looked at him and said word by word:
"There's no turning back."
As I said that, I drew a spiritual power from the depths of my body. This power came from the bottom of my heart and my bone marrow. Then it gradually spread throughout my body and filled me up. I felt that my body became very light.
But it was heavy under my feet. So, I was carried off the ground by a force that was almost beyond my control. I raised my head and saw the huge and deep whirlpool. I always felt that my sight would stay forever.
Here, we can no longer leave...
"Zhuo'er! If this is the case, I will always be here to protect you! Zhuo'er! No one can hurt you anymore!"
These words echoed in my ears at last, but gradually they disappeared... The barren hills and gravel became smaller and smaller, and closer and closer, and my body began to sink downwards, and then, what happened to me?
I can’t see it either…
Only that face - Cang Li's face seems to be engraved in my body and overflowing in my thoughts...
I suddenly forgot who I was, and there were only two names left in my consciousness: Zhuoer...Cangli...
I fell into a deep sleep, as if I had experienced a long dream...
I regained consciousness again, only to find that I was surrounded by darkness and could not see anything. There was only a little light in a place that seemed very far away. I tried hard to move forward in the direction of the light, but found that I could not move forward.
When I opened my steps, it seemed as if even my steps were swallowed up by the endless darkness. I originally wanted to activate my spiritual power, but found that I had no strength. The light always stayed in place, but I couldn't get close. Such a scene made me feel sad.
I remembered a place. It was also buried in darkness, making it impossible to move.
I could only stare at that point of light, and I didn't know where the thought came from. I knew it was a mirror, and I kept repeating in my heart: I want to get it, I must get it...
"Zhuo'er, take me out...leave this place..." Accompanied by a sudden deep and strange sound, I felt shuddering. I looked around in fear in the darkness, but except for that light spot, there was only darkness.
.
"Zhuo'er, take me out... take me out... take me out..." I repeated this, but I couldn't find the source. I just felt that the darkness was filled with this voice, and the last two words "get out" became more and more obvious.
Pull longer and longer...
Gradually, I felt like something was getting into my body, and it was as if the surrounding darkness had seeped into my skin. I tried to resist the invasion that made my whole body chill, but the gratitude I felt for being filled became more and more.
strong.
"Zhuo'er... He doesn't love you at all, don't believe him... I will help you punish him... Take me out... Take me out..."
Repeated again and again, the sound seemed to penetrate the darkness and began to penetrate into my body. Even if I covered my ears, I still couldn't get rid of it.
I had a splitting headache and struggled in the darkness, but found that my physical strength was beginning to be exhausted, and my struggle seemed so weak in the face of the darkness...
I slowly opened my eyes, but I was suddenly struck by an earth-shaking dizziness. I seemed to be lying down and wanted to sit up, but I couldn't move at all.
What's going on? I started to panic inside and my body started to struggle, but no matter how hard I tried, it didn't work.
I turned my head in panic to see why my body was not obeying its orders, but I was stunned for a moment.
Where is my body?! Why can’t I see anything?! I can clearly feel my hands, my feet, my head, my shoulders, my neck... My chest feels tight, and my heart is also
I can even feel the blood flowing through every corner of my body. But for some reason, apart from my eyes that are so clear that I can almost see the dust, I can’t see my own body, as if this is nothingness, and I am also nothingness.
!
Suddenly, I felt a sense of suffocation, and an overwhelming sense of depression filled my eyes. The colors in my vision began to change drastically, and were eventually filled with chaotic blood red. I seemed to have seen such a color somewhere... I suddenly felt a sense of suffocation.
, something liquid was poured into my throat, and I instinctively choked and coughed, but as a result, more liquid poured into my mouth. But I couldn't even reach out to cover it, because I had no hands at all...
What is going on? The unprecedented sense of coercion made me feel like my whole head was about to explode, and the suffocation became stronger and stronger. Fear began to spread, and I was suddenly afraid that I would be trapped in this chaos. What could I do?
I felt my breathing was short, and I wanted to shout, but couldn't. The liquid had already filled my entire mouth, and even started to flow down my throat and deep into my body.
My vision also began to blur. Finally, a face appeared faintly in my vision. It was a woman. I couldn’t see her face clearly. I just felt that she was getting closer and closer to me, and even pushed me away.
The thick blood red in front of my eyes was replaced by lingering black mist. In the deep dark eyes, there was deep resentment and sadness.
"Zhuo'er...Zhuo'er..." The two cherry lips on the woman's face opened and closed, as if she wanted to suck me in...
I woke up suddenly, finally getting rid of nightmares one after another, and my forehead was soaked with cold sweat. In fear, I got rid of the dreams that were entangled in my heart, and told myself: I am not Zhuoer, I am Yinluo - the Yuyu Forest
Yinluo.
"Brother Yunzhong, are we still going to Quexian Waterfall to practice swordsmanship today?"
The morning glow makes the sky soft and lovely. A two-story wooden house is built on the open space on the edge of a cliff covered with green grass. With the wind on the cliff, the fragrance of green grass and trees flows. It is already midsummer, but in the
The morning is filled with rare coolness.
"Your injury is healing. There is no need to work so hard. Just wait for me at home."
"I'm fine, let's go together,"
I stood in the corridor of the wooden house, looking at a mortal named Meng Yunzhong wearing a blue-gray robe not far away, smiling lightly.
Although the same nightmare haunts me every night, I can’t explain why. As soon as the morning sun rises again and my vision becomes clear again, I can’t wait to see this man named Meng Yunzhong. Then, all the baggage and depression in my heart
Then I let it go. I got along with a mortal in a mortal way, and I actually forgot that I was a demon who had been cultivating for hundreds of years.
Meng Yunzhong smiled helplessly, but still nodded.
I immediately turned around and went to the house to get the sword. Naturally, it was the sword that had flashed murderous intent before my eyes. The exquisite scabbard was inlaid with a purple spar, which shone brightly in the sunlight.
"Brother Yunzhong, you mentioned the legend of Quexian Waterfall last time. Do you have time to talk to me today?" I walked to him holding the sword and looked up at him.
"You want to know so much? These are all theories of ghosts and gods, which may not be credible."
"I just find it interesting! Tell me about the fairy named Zhuhe, what happened to him?"
He took steps toward Quexian Waterfall, and while walking, he described to me a legend that has been circulating in the world for a long time.
"According to legend, Tsukuba is the daughter of the King of Flowers, but she fell in love with a god who cannot have feelings. It is said that the Quexian Waterfall leads to the world where the god lives, and the god wants to go back through it, but Tsukuba still can't let go, so she
He abandoned his father and went away with this god, and he has not been heard from since."
"Then why is this place called Quexian Waterfall?"
"Que means retreat. Legend has it that after Zizhuhe entered this waterfall with the gods, other fairies could no longer get close to it, so it was called Quexian Waterfall."
"Hasn't that god ever come back?"
He smiled, shook his head slightly, stopped slightly and said to me:
"How can legends be taken seriously? Where are the demons and gods in this world? Such legends cannot be believed at all."
"That's not entirely true. Maybe there are really six realms of reincarnation in this world?"
As he spoke, the sound of rumbling water gradually became blurred. I thought that the sound of water I heard in the woods earlier might not be a soft stream, but this flying waterfall, but it was too far away.
The distance makes the sound seem smaller. Now, this spectacular scene is right in front of me, like pouring down from the sky, straight into a deep pool, and I am standing at the top of the waterfall. Thinking about the river that originally seemed to be flowing peacefully.
, can actually form such a torrent and produce such huge power, which is never seen in the Yuyu Forest.
Under his gaze, I gradually approached the turning point of the water. The rumbling sound was right next to my ears, but I didn’t know where it came from. All I saw was white water splashing. I leaned over to look at the pool at the end of the waterfall, and was swept away.
I couldn't see the depth clearly, I just felt that there was a sharp sword-like water flowing straight into it, as if it had penetrated the entire earth.
"Stay back! It's too dangerous!"
I heard Meng Yunzhong shouting loudly from behind me, but his voice was still mostly obscured by the rumbling sound. I pretended not to hear it and instead took another step closer.
There was a gust of wind in my ears, and he grabbed my arm and forcibly pulled me away from the waterfall. I held the sword tightly and turned to look at him, carefully appreciating the concern and concern between his brows.
Anxious expression.
It has been more than three months, and he has gradually become familiar with him, and he seems to enjoy watching his changing expressions.
"Be careful!" A little reproachful, but more worried.
"I just want to see if there is an entrance to the divine world under the waterfall."
He laughed again, and so did I.
"Shall I show you the sword move you taught me yesterday?"
He nodded, his expression becoming more serious than before.
I smiled faintly, drew my sword, moved, turned sideways, sheathed my sword, and stabbed forward. I danced in front of him, and every move was accompanied by the sound of falling into the water. I only used superficial moves, but he didn't know that, in fact, I
With a single leap, you can reach such a high altitude as a waterfall. I quietly observed his expression with my peripheral vision, watching him nod, smile, and shake his head...
Suddenly, I caught a slight change in his expression, and then I heard a vague voice calling his name mixed with the sound of water.
"Yun Zhong! I knew you were here!"
I stepped back, sheathed my sword, and saw a woman in green walking not far away.
I had noticed the surprised look on her face, because she looked at me without hesitation, her eyes full of doubts and hostility.
She wore her hair in an ordinary bun without much decoration and light makeup. She seemed to be about the same age as Meng Yunzhong, but she had a girlish look on her face. Impulse and jealousy that were inconsistent with her age leaked out of her eyes.
.I have seen such a look from a demon before, but the woman in front of me is much simpler and more direct than her.
For a moment, I felt unspeakable displeasure.
"who is she?"
She is quite straightforward.
I didn't speak or look at her. I stood there and looked at Meng Yunzhong with a slight smile. Of course, I needed to put more confusion and embarrassment on my face.
"I rescued an injured girl." Meng Yunzhong's tone was calm, but somewhat apologetic.
The woman in green clothes walked straight past me, but her eyes never left my face. I also looked at her, but my eyes were probably very gentle.
Meng Yunzhong subconsciously took a few steps towards me.
"When did you come?"
The woman in green turned her attention away, smiled gently at Meng Yunzhong, and said:
"I just arrived not long ago. I'll bring you some snacks and dry food. It's been a few months, and you seem to have lost a lot of weight."
Her hand reached towards Meng Yunzhong's face, but Meng Yunzhong turned his head slightly towards me, avoiding it in an obvious way.
"Thank you."
The woman in green clothes was a little unhappy when she saw that her concern had no effect.
"The day before yesterday, eldest brother asked about our wedding date again... Yunzhong, let's stop wasting time, okay?"
I turned slightly, knowing that most of her words were meant for me. But for some reason, in addition to being a little surprised by this sudden message, the displeasure in my heart became even stronger.
I am very concerned about the word "wedding date" and just want the woman in front of me who doesn't like me to take back the entire sentence.
"We'll talk about this later. It's very cold here, let's go back first." Meng Yunzhong still had a calm tone. He didn't look at her or me. I noticed that the atmosphere at this moment was a little subtle, although I felt a little unhappy.
But he didn't say much, he just followed him and felt a hot gaze following behind him, naturally it was that of the woman in green.
"Brother Yunzhong, is this... your fiancée?"
The road is a bit long, and someone should find something to say. I glanced at the woman in green, and she smiled lightly, a little sweet, as if she was smiling deliberately for me. Meng Yunzhong paused and did not say,
Didn't say it wasn't.
"This is my sworn brother Boyi's sister Jinlan, You Ruojun."
I saw a trace of disappointment on the face of this woman named You Ruojun, but she hesitated to speak.
"My sister's name is very nice. My name is Yinluo. I often hear Brother Yunzhong mention his adopted brother, but I didn't know that he also has such a beautiful sister Jinlan. So since you are Brother Boyi's sister, you are also Yunzhong.
Is the eldest brother’s sister?”
You Ruojun frowned and turned his head, but I still looked at her and smiled.
Then there was silence until they reached the cabin.
"Yinluo, you go to the orchard and pick some fresh fruits. Ruojun and I will prepare breakfast."
I nodded, turned around and left with a smile. Jealousy was still in the air. I didn't turn around to look at them, I just walked towards the orchard.
"Why don't you explain our relationship clearly?"
"Ruojun, the matter between you and me has not yet been determined. This is related to your reputation. Don't talk nonsense."
"But this is a matter of time, how can there be any changes? Are you unwilling to fulfill the engagement?"
"..."
The sound of their argument could be heard vaguely in the distance, and I pretended not to hear it, but for some reason, the displeasure still lingered in my heart.
Heading towards the orchard, I saw lush fruit trees in the distance. It was midsummer now, and there were indeed many sweet and delicious fruits that were ripe. I was about to put aside my doubts and displeasure and think about what fruits I wanted to pick back.
Seeing that the big bright yellow lanterns on the pear trees were very attractive, I walked towards the fruit trees.
Suddenly, a gust of wind passed over the treetops, startling two birds, and flew away with a cry of "chirp". The crown of the tree shook slightly and rustled, and the pears on the tree swayed slightly. Then, everything returned to calm.
But I smelled an unusual smell, which was obviously too familiar to me.
When I was in the Depressed Forest, I was confused by the same smell everywhere - the spirit of monsters. Is there actually a monster here?
I should have felt friendly, but strangely, this gust of wind actually dissipated the warmth of summer, leaving behind a period of coldness. This kind of smell is the same as when someone passed by me in the past. Any monster who leaves such a smell
, must be a demon that has absorbed too much mortal essence. I felt a little uneasy in my heart, but I couldn’t explain why.
The evil spirit was getting farther and farther away, and I thought that he (she) was already far away from me. So, I was on guard and walked towards the pear tree. I stopped under the pear tree and looked up, but I didn't find any special traces.
.Maybe he was passing by, I think.
I activated my spiritual energy, waved my sleeves, and drew an arc. A white silk ribbon came out of my sleeves, swam and circled around the pear tree, and gently picked off the fresh pears, slowly falling to the ground. My whole body shimmered.
Silver light, I looked at this lovely fruit, and with a stroke of my left hand, I picked up a dead leaf on the ground, which instantly turned into a fruit basket. I carefully picked the pears in one by one, and the gentle fruity fragrance penetrated my nose.
It has a refreshing smell. Of course, this is because I poured some spiritual energy into it, which makes the fruit even more delicious.
After that, I picked a few more cantaloupes and carried the basket back to the direction of the wooden house.
