Half Demon and Half Mountain

For a long time, Cen Shen was trapped in absolute darkness, unable to move, unable to shout, only the boundless loneliness beat him like the waves.

In that loneliness, there is still a trace of confusion.

I don't know how long it took, but when Cen Shen gradually became numb, it was as if the chaos had just opened, and a bright light appeared in front of his eyes.He blinked, as if waking up from a dream, followed Liu Qi's gaze to look around, only to realize that he seemed to have come to Datang again.

Although the little hydrangea can take people through time and space, its landing point is not precise enough, so this time Liu Qi landed on a small hill outside Chang'an City.

Going down the hillside, there is a three-way intersection, one leading to Chang'an City, one leading to Luoyang, and the other extending to the green distant mountains.

Liu Qi stood at the three-way intersection holding the little hydrangea ball, and did not take a step for a long time.

Where should I go?

After staying in this memory for a long time, Cen Shen seems to have begun to understand some of Liu Qi's emotions.He subconsciously thought about this question from Liu Qi's point of view - where should he go?

It seemed that he just traveled to this point in time randomly, which was different from what they had speculated before.

Liu Qi will also be confused, which is different from what they imagined.

There was a big smooth rock on the side of the road, and Liu Qi sat down on this rock.He didn't seem to know where to go, looked down at his hands, and seemed to be still remembering how they were covered in blood.

This sitting is a whole day.

Cen Shen finally couldn't help asking him: "Aren't you looking for your answer?"

On this way forward, you have never stopped for anyone, even Master and Wu Chongan.Why are you confused now?Is it because the answer is too far away?

Or... suddenly realized that in the end, she was still alone.

But Liu Qi couldn't hear what Cen Shen said, so naturally he couldn't answer him, so Cen Shen could only continue to accompany him quietly.But who knows how long Liu Qi will sit here, he is already a demigod, even if he sits here for three years, there will be no problem.

The time of gods and humans is different. There is such an allusion in "Shu Yi Ji". The woodcutter just watched a game of chess by chance in the mountains, and a hundred years have passed in the world. When he went down the mountain, none of his old friends were there .

This recognition suddenly made Cen Shen feel anxious.

He felt that he shouldn't waste time here, he had more important things to do, and he had to get out of here.

But where is he going?

What are you going to do?

Cen Shen couldn't remember again, and his memory gradually began to blur. He thought and thought, but he could only give himself a headache.

So the perplexed people sitting on the big rock at the three-way intersection changed from one to two, watching the sun rise and the moon set, and the years wither and flourish.Countless people passed by them, but they acted as if they couldn't see them, or they regarded them as a stone on the side of the road, and their eyes didn't stop at all.

"Are you still leaving?" Cen Shen couldn't remember how many times he asked.

The passage of time made him panic, he didn't know how long Liu Qi would sit, what he was thinking about, and what he was waiting for, but Cen Shen knew that he couldn't wait any longer.

If he waited like this, he would also forget the thought of "wanting to go back".He will completely become a stone on the side of the road, and even lose his own name.

More importantly, he seemed to have forgotten something important.

He felt a great sadness.

"You should go." Cen Shen urged him again, "Waiting will not bear fruit."

He should not be a rotten man like that woodcutter, time is such a ruthless thing, if one day when he leaves here, everything has changed, then he might as well be like that rotten ax handle, rotten In this mountain.

That's good too, at least you don't have to face everything.

Then why did he have to leave?

Is there anyone waiting for him outside?

Isn't he... was he alone?

Cen Shen suddenly fell into a huge confusion again, so that when Liu Qi stood up, he didn't even come back to his senses.He was forced to follow Liu Qi's gaze and saw a green mountain.

That mountain looks a bit familiar, but the mountains here look similar to each other.

But Liu Qi looked at the mountain, as if seeing some old person, his expression was slightly moved.He hesitated and hesitated, and after a long while, he finally walked towards the mountain.

Cen Shen could only watch, the verdant green hills and trails in the forest did not arouse his interest at all, he was like a wandering soul, passively attached to Liu Qi, and gradually felt a little tired and sleepy.

Go to sleep, go to sleep, just sleep.

Cen Shen was really tired and felt that he was going to be unable to hold on any longer, but suddenly a smell of food wafted from a distance, which brought him back a bit of clarity.

At this moment, Liu Qi also stopped, standing behind a big tree and looking at a familiar figure ahead.The man was wearing a blue shirt that was washed white with starch, the cuffs were rolled up, and he was busy cooking a bowl of delicious wild mushroom soup.

That is Master.

Cen Shen recognized him, and the words "mushroom soup" repeatedly flashed in his mind. Finally, in the blink of an eye, he remembered something—didn't the master die after eating poisonous mushrooms?

Is it today?

That's right, Master was changed in the end, it was Liu Qi who saved him, that must be today.

But Liu Qi didn't immediately rush to stop it, but just looked at Master quietly.Could this be another fate, he left Nanjing, but finally met him here.

The reincarnation of heaven and the cycle of cause and effect, can he really not escape?

What if he stood by and watched?

Liu Qi couldn't help but looked up at the sky, Cen Shen looked at the clear sky and fell into deep thought.But he still remembered his master who was already on the brink of death, even though he knew that his master would be rescued in the end, he still felt a sense of urgency.

In that room, the smell of mushroom soup became stronger and stronger, and the master kept stirring it with a long-handled wooden spoon, purely happy because of this pot of soup.

He was really hungry, touched his stomach, it was deflated.

"It should be ready..." The master swallowed while muttering, then took a mouthful of the soup with a wooden spoon, and brought it to his lips to taste it.

Cen Shen's heart suddenly twitched.

Just at this time, the scenery in front of him suddenly changed.Liu Qi only took one step and appeared next to Master, firmly grasped Master's wrist with one hand, and said, "It's poisonous, you can't eat it."

"Ah?" The master stared back at Liu Qi in a daze, and then looked down at the bubbling soup. In the end, without expressing any surprise to the uninvited guest, he spit out a sentence: "Poison death and starvation death are both Die? Brother, I'm really hungry."

Liu Qi: "..."

Cen Shen felt that Liu Qi might shake off his master's hand in the next second and strode away, but he still didn't leave in the end, but took out a piece of chocolate from 1937 from his pocket.

"What is this?" The Master was surprised.

"Eat." Liu Qi only had one word coldly.

Master really ate, perhaps in his opinion, being hungry is really a big deal.

The atmosphere fell into an eerie silence.

Liu Qi folded her hands, and sat on the side with a stern face, while the master happily ate a piece of chocolate that could never have appeared in Datang, and there was a crowd of Cen Shen watching beside him.

This picture is also very strange.

What happened next surprised Cen Shen even more, like stepping on a watermelon rind and galloping freely on the slippery ground—Liu Qi actually told him the ins and outs of this incident without hiding anything, including their The first time we met, there was Wu Chongan.

The master listened very carefully, and after listening to it, his expression was dull for a long time, and he didn't come back to his senses for a while.

"Sorry." Liu Qi said.

"Why are you sorry?" Master was taken aback for another moment, he stared at Liu Qi suspiciously, wondering if this person was a charlatan.But he instinctively felt that Liu Qi should not have lied to him, because Liu Qi's expression was too cold, if he went out to cheat with this expression, he would probably be beaten to death by the nobles in Chang'an City.

Liu Qi continued: "I asked you before, and you said you didn't want to change your fate."

The master was stunned, and then he was happy again, "This is what I would say, but you don't need to feel sorry. If I really died of poisoning, but I am still alive now, then the dead me and the current me are no longer the same I'm dead, what do you care about him?"

Hearing this, Liu Qi was silent for a long time, then asked again: "Do you believe me?"

The master spread his hands: "This is quite interesting."

Believe it or not, at least Liu Qi didn't hurt herself. As for other things, Master doesn't care.He then asked Liu Qi a lot about the "dead him", and finally came to a conclusion——

"It's bad luck."

How can you eat poisonous mushrooms and poison yourself to death?

"Cough." The master cleared his throat, maybe this way of dying was too embarrassing, he decided to get up and say goodbye: "After chatting for so long, I still don't know brother Tai Gao's name, where does he live? You saved my life today, I am very grateful, if you don't mind, brother, I will come to thank you another day."

"Liu Qi, I live in Nanliu Bridge." Liu Qi said concisely.

The master didn't ask any more questions, and agreed to find him in the next day, and then went down the mountain with a basket.

Liu Qi stood quietly and looked at him, not following him.But probably because of the demigod, he could see very far, and his eyes followed the master all the way until he saw him—bending down to pick mushrooms.

This is a man who has an unusual obsession with mushrooms.

In her previous life, she might have been the reincarnation of Mushroom Essence.

Cen Shen watched, speechless for a moment.But at this moment, a feathered arrow suddenly pierced through the wind and passed the top of the Master's head at an extremely fast speed. With a flash of cold light, it broke into the bushes in front of him.

"Roar!" There was a painful roar, and the master was startled.

But he quickly realized that some kind of beast should be lurking in the bush, and someone rescued him in time.He looked around quickly, but he couldn't find anyone, but the voice sounded above his head.

"Stand back." It was an extremely young voice.

The master looked up, and saw a young man in red with a sword hanging from his waist.He was standing on a tree trunk, bowing his bow and shooting an arrow. With his tall and straight figure, handsome eyebrows, and the sharp light in his eyes, people couldn't help but heartfeltly admire him, "As expected of Tang Haoerlang".

"You are……"

Before the Master finished speaking, the young man shot another arrow.The flying arrows were like thunder and lightning, piercing the mottled sunlight in the forest, piercing the throat of another beast in an instant, and nailing its arrow to the tree trunk.

While the beast was struggling, the arrow's tail feathers were still trembling slightly.

"It's done." But the young man showed a bright smile at this moment, his soaring expression was comparable to the sun and the moon.

That was the sun and the moon in Cen Shen's heart.

He seemed to be nailed in place by that arrow, unable to move, but his beating heart was urging him, urging him to move forward.The sea of ​​hearts began to vibrate violently, choking his breath and grabbing his heart, a name that was hidden behind thick fog was finally about to reveal his true face.

Huanle!

That's Huan Le!

He remembered!

Cen Shen stared firmly at the familiar figure, and at that moment, all the sleepiness, exhaustion, and unreasonable confusion disappeared.

The beating heart told him that he was still alive, he was not a wandering soul attached to Liu Qi, he was Cen Shen.

Has Huan Le come to pick him up?

Did he finally find him?

Cen Shen couldn't help stretching out his hand to Huan Le, struggled desperately to free himself, and ran to his side, but his feet seemed to be rooted, and he couldn't move no matter what.

Liu Qi didn't move, and neither did he.

And his young man didn't notice his existence at all.
