Stray Chapter 97: One night
Boom...
The heavy and slow rubbing sound represents the closing of the gate of the forbidden area again, Yun Tianhe and others have left, and the forbidden area has once again returned to dead silence.
“…”
“…”
Quietly, without any sound.
Only Xuanxiao in the ice is staring at this cave that seems to be lonely forever and will never change, his expression is calm, his eyes are like a deep pool, distant and deep, the ancient well has no waves, no waves .
He didn't talk to himself, he just watched silently like this, quietly watching.
As it was nineteen years ago, as it was nineteen years ago.
It's already been such a life, everything is irreversible, all the good things in the past have been turned into delusions, and even... they are already dead, why are they still alive? Woolen cloth?
The despair and the pain caused by empty life, no one can know, and no one can understand. It wasn't until not long ago that Xi He, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly reacted, causing his heart lake, which was as deadly as ice for ten thousand years, to wave again.
As if the drowning man was clinging to the last straw, he breathed the last breath of life into his empty consciousness.
It doesn't mean that the desire must rise to immortality and attain immortality. In fact, for today's Xuan Xiao, whether immortal or immortal or not, he has long since cared about these things.
The reason why he is so obsessed with restarting the Shuangjian project is that he has only one thing left to do. Besides that, there is only emptiness and despair. Every time he breathes in the cold air, he can feel that kind of Despair born of an empty life.
So, in the fragmented self, this man can only gather his last will in the rotten life.
Everything that has passed is irreversible. What I dreamed of in my light sleep was a long time ago.
Until now, all that has become a dream of memory after years of baptism.
How many years have passed since then?
At this time, Xuan Xiao was thinking dumbly in the eternal ice.
It feels like there was some kind of tedious evolution. That's right, just nineteen years ago, almost an instant ago.
Recalling the past, he lingered, sighing in the deepest part of the heart is the endless darkness, which is growing steadily, waiting for the time to come without anyone noticing. Waiting for one day to leave this eternal lonely cold darkness, the moment of birth.
It is like being prayed to, doing everything that is hoped for, this is the meaning it is finally given, and the urgent desire injects the last trace of motivation into the life of emptiness and despair.
It is precisely because this desire is so strong that all other sins must be entrusted to one place - something that the predecessors could not do, otherwise, what is the meaning of life!
"Nineteen years of regret..."
A quiet murmur resounded in the cold, dead air of the forbidden area. Behind that calm, there seemed to be a huge wave being suppressed.
The pieces of the puzzle have all been put together, the gears of fate intertwined, and are now accelerating and turning bravely toward the day of completion.
……
……
The sky was dark and gloomy, and I couldn't reach my fingers.
The rain was fast and windy, and the torrential rain seemed to connect the heaven and the earth, and it was still falling fiercely and constantly.
"That person...it's so strange, how could he be sealed in ice..."
Outside the Sword Forest, Yun Tianhe reluctantly looked back at the closed gate of the forbidden area. For some reason, he sympathized with the person named Xuan Xiao and thought the other party was pitiful.
Liu Mengli holds the same opinion: "That person may indeed be a pitiful person, I have never felt a person's spirit, so lonely and lonely, as if to clean up everything around him, It's so painful..."
Yun Tianhe nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, then we should come here to see him more later..."
When Murong Ziying heard this, her face turned dark. What kind of place did this mountaintop savage take the forbidden area of martial arts? It's just that this is something that Uncle Xuan Xiao has agreed to, and even if Yun Tianhe wants to come, he can't stop it.
Of course, it is impossible to stop him, and he still needs to say a few words. Otherwise, these people would be too bold.
He took a deep breath and said calmly, "As for the matter of the uncle, we, as juniors, don't have to speculate... But you guys, why are you so bold and trespass into the forbidden area?"
"Hey, Ziying, you won't be so stingy, right?" Han Lingsha looked at him with some vigilance, "Xuan Xiao has already said that you can't be held accountable, but don't think about punishing us Oh..."
"Since I have already promised my uncle, I will not pursue this matter, and I will do it naturally." Murong Ziying said helplessly, "It's just you, don't you know that it would be dangerous to run around like this?"
"There's nothing to be afraid of. The Qionghua faction is not a ruthless demon. Even if it is caught, it will at most just expel us from the faction..." Han Lingsha said with a smile, her eyes wide open. There was a hint of slyness in the air, "And I have inquired about it before, and some rumors about the forbidden area are still somewhat certain."
"But it's a bit of a bold move after all..."
"This is also something that can't be helped. We came here to find out what happened to Tianhe's parents back then. If we can't do anything, then we don't come in the first place, and we won't have anything. okay?"
Han Lingsha sighed and said, what troublesome things are not more or less risky? It’s just that many people naively think that it’s best not to take any risks and not to do anything. This is the most “smart” choice.
And then what? The opportunity will be delivered to the door by yourself, as long as you stay in the house outside the door, you can lie down and win?
Murong Ziying frowned: "But you can think about it in the long run..."
"How is that possible? Even the head of the sect is god-like. Whether it's about Tianhe's parents or the sword, he doesn't want to talk to us. If we don't find a way to do it ourselves If it's clear, even if you stay in this sect for ten or eight years, nothing will change, right?"
Han Lingsha rolled her eyes angrily: "And when you were still in Chenzhou, Ziying, you told us about the arrival of the demon world, it may not be two months, what should we do in the long run? ?"
"This..."
Murong Ziying was speechless and didn't know how to refute.
The truth is really such a truth. At that time, the three people in front of them said that they wanted to worship themselves and others. Although they agreed, they also knew the advantages and disadvantages, and explained in detail the current situation of the Qionghua faction. The crisis that arrived, let the three of them think about it carefully.
There are demons in the world that run like stars and have their fixed sky tracks. The Qionghua School is located on the top of Kunlun Mountain. , which are closest to each other every nineteen-year cycle.
Nine years ago, in order to protect the world and prevent those terrifying monsters from invading the world, the Qionghua faction fought to the death and suffered heavy casualties.
Now is another cycle. Nineteen years have passed in a hurry, and the demon world will come again. Even Murong Ziying feels that the Qionghua faction is likely to be unable to resist, so naturally, she has to explain to the three of Yun Tianhe... ...after all, there's a good chance there's only a month or two left.
So, what Han Lingsha said is right. In this case, what else is there to say in the long run?
Is it possible that the three of them can still conscientiously cultivate in the sect for decades or hundreds of years, from beginner disciples to entry disciples, to accumulating merits and promotion to elders, and then being able to understand the secrets in the forbidden area in an upright manner?
At that time, the day lily was really cold... It was precisely because he knew that time was running out, so Han Lingsha would resolutely seize every opportunity.
Shaking her head, Murong Ziying no longer struggled with this question, and instead asked, "How did you open the stone gate in the forbidden area?"
It is human nature to be curious, and the more restricted you are, the more you want to do it. Therefore, in the past ten years, it is of course impossible that only Yun Tianhe and the three violated the rules of the gate and entered the forbidden area. Many disciples were sentenced to Sihuigu Siguo. The most common reason was trespassing in the forbidden area.
This is also the reason why Han Lingsha said that she had collected information and knew about the forbidden area. The mystery here is indeed mysterious, but it doesn't mean that no one dares to break through... It's just that most people are before the last door. Stop, no one has ever been able to open the stone gate.
"I used this piece of jade, and it opened at once..." Yun Tianhe took out the piece of Lingguang algae jade like a child showing off his toys.
"This jade was found in the tomb of Tianhe's parents..." Han Lingsha added.
"So that's it..." Looking at the Qionghua pattern on the Lingyu, Murong Ziying frowned, and couldn't help but have a little doubt, but it happened that the dark sky was divided into two, a deafening thunder interrupted his thoughts.
Boom--! !
Murong Ziying looked at the sky subconsciously, he noticed that the turbulence of the spiritual energy was calming down, just like the ripples on the water were slowly returning to calm, probably because the two unbelievable beings finally fought and lost both. It's because the battle in the depths of the Kunlun Mountains is finally over.
"It's not early, you guys have been tired all day, you should hurry back to your room to rest..." He looked at the three of them and said solemnly, "I still have something to report to the head, so you don't have to follow here."
"Important? Is it because the Shui Lingzhu was stolen?" Han Lingsha asked curiously, "Did you get it back?"
"...No, there was some accident in the middle, and the group of thieves ran away."
Murong Ziying was silent for a while, then replied.
"Did they really steal the Shui Lingzhu?" Liu Mengli, who had been silent for a while, suddenly asked, with a strange expression, as if she wanted to confirm something.
"For now, all clues point to them, but the matter still has to be decided by the head..."
Murong Ziying threw out such a sentence, and then said no more, turned around and took the lead to walk in the direction outside the sword forest. The black rain fell from the sky, but not a single drop of the dense rain could fall on him.
He actually vaguely knew what was going on, but there was no substantive evidence, so he could only go to the Sect Master and let him make a decision.
However, he can probably guess the result after that, that is, the Shui Lingzhu was indeed stolen by that group of thieves, and it could only be stolen by that group of thieves. Not only because the evidence points to the group of people who broke into the Qionghua faction and got caught, but also because the real murderer is too powerful.
So even if the chief knows the truth, he can only pretend not to know and blame all the crimes on the head of that group of people.
It has to be said that the comparison of each other's strength is a very important determinant, and Suyao had to make such a choice. Although she has many shortcomings, her basic qualities as the headmaster are still qualified.
The family has a great career, so you can't just take care of yourself. This is already an eventful time, and there will be a major crisis coming to the demon world. It's impossible to hit the steel plate with iron, right?
"Zi Ying doesn't seem to be in a good mood..." Han Lingsha was a little uneasy, "Will we make him angry?"
"Uncle Shi is not such a person, he shouldn't be displeased by such a thing..." Liu Mengli shook her head lightly, raised her slender jade fingers, and gently stroked her own blue silk, thoughtfully. said softly.
"Forget it, forget about it, let's go back soon. It's freezing cold...it's strange, why is it raining so hard all of a sudden."
Han Lingsha hugged her shoulders and couldn't help trembling slightly. She always felt that the cold air of this rainy night was a little too strong, which made her feel a little cold.
It's still a midsummer night, and you should feel cool when it rains. Why do you always feel that your physique is getting worse and worse recently?
