The sky and water

The flying blood flowers scattered around under the dim candlelight, like a rain of petals, it was cruelly beautiful, it was a feast of blood, it was a nightmare that Tian Cheng could never escape from.

His pale body was already covered with scarlet and bloody mouths. Chi Yuan was very smart, he deliberately withdrew his inner strength, but used more brute force. Every whip was like the sharp teeth of a wild beast, tearing apart the flesh and blood. Pain into the bone marrow.

The whip marks were like a fine net, intertwined on Tian Cheng's chest and back, the blood flowing down gradually covered the white skin in the net, the blood all over his body seemed to have a scorching temperature, as if it wanted to melt his body.

Quiet, still quiet, except for the ugly sound of the whip cutting through the flesh, and the weaker gasping sound, Chi Yuan could not hear any other sounds.

"Tch, you look like a dead man again!" He retracted his whip and cursed.On Dark Night Island, they are not allowed to make a sound when they are beaten, otherwise they will be punished more. Almost every child has been beaten to death because of this, except Tian Cheng.

That's how he is, he's used to forbearance, he's used to not saying a word. For some reason, Chi Yuan was so painful that he was able to hold back. Later, his demeanor became more and more indifferent. wrinkle.

He swung the whip a few times angrily, then threw away the blood-stained whip, smiled evilly, and said, "I even forgot, you are the one who can endure the most torture on Dark Night Island! Like a whip!" You don’t pay attention to everyday food, do you? It’s okay, I’ve prepared it for you, even better!”

As he spoke, he gave an order, and two thugs lifted up a heavy thing that shone with metallic luster.

Tian Cheng glanced at the thing from the corner of his eye, with a numb mind, not sure if he still had fear in his heart.

It was a nail board, with inch-long steel nails protruding from the wooden board, the nail heads were phosphorous, shining with a gloomy luster.The wood had already been stained black with blood, and its true color could not be seen.

Chi Yuan was not in a hurry, but asked someone to bring another bag of salt, and sprinkled it evenly on the nailboard. The white salt particles covered the nailboard, and finally covered the black wood.

"Tian Cheng, enjoy it." As Chi Yuan said, he gestured, and someone put down the iron chain on Tian Cheng's wrist, and pressed his entire upper body, back down, firmly against the nail board.

The steel nail pierced into the flesh and made a depressing sound. Tian Cheng's body was covered with blood, and the steel nail carried the salt on the surface, and directly penetrated into the depth of the wound. Tian Cheng's body trembled slightly. In order to endure the pain, he stretched instinctively. Tightening the muscles of the whole body can only make the steel nail penetrate more deeply.

It hurts, it hurts, Tian Cheng has been wondering why, the feeling of pain is something he can't get used to at all.I had always hoped that my body would be numb, but I always felt more and more pain during the torture again and again.

He finally had an expression on his face, his slender eyebrows were slightly frowned, his eyes were slightly closed, showing a pained look, but this little bit of pain was still too little compared to the torture he endured , and, he still didn't make a sound.

Seeing his appearance, Chi Yuan was finally a little satisfied, but he didn't hear his screams, and was still unhappy. He lifted his foot and kicked his body over, exposing his back covered with nail wounds in Chi Yuan's sight Among them, the same scarred chest was cruelly pierced by countless nails.

The long black hair was like ink, smeared on the blood-red back, stuck in the wound on the back, and some were even brought deep into the wound by nails.Originally covered by salt, the white nail plate was stained red with blood, and those large salt crystals were dyed red, lying quietly on the nail plate.

Tian Cheng's body trembled slightly, his face was facing the ground, and his expression could not be seen.There was still no sound, just his panting, which became more rapid.

A ferocious smile appeared on Chi Yuan's face, and he stepped on the bloody back, crushing the horrible body hard.

"Tian Cheng, what on earth do you want to scream?" His voice became sharp, revealing a hint of madness.

Of course, Tian Cheng didn't answer him. For Tian Cheng, the consciousness of not being able to scream when being beaten was almost innate. Before he came to Dark Night Island, someone taught him with a whip, but he couldn't remember that time at all. The rest, only this consciousness.

Chi Yuan kicked him hard and turned him over again. The steel needle pierced into the flesh and blood on his back for the second time, and the pain became even worse. Tian Cheng felt his eyes darken, and cold sweat and blood mixed together, running down his cheeks flowing.

His eyes were a little shaky, and he couldn't last much longer.

A bucket of salt water was splashed on his body, as if his soul was completely cold. Tian Cheng's body trembled violently, and the steel nails were raging even deeper in the wound. He couldn't escape this deep pain. I'm afraid that as long as he lived, he would die. It hurts all the time.

There was still no cry, but a look of despair gradually appeared on his cold face.

Chi Yuan looked at him, laughed loudly and said, "Are you regretful? Regret that you didn't die on Dark Night Island, otherwise, you wouldn't have to suffer like this!"

Originally wanting to see his painful expression, Chi Yuan was suddenly stunned, because in the deepest pain, there was a smile on Tian Cheng's face.

The faint smile is like snowflakes in early spring, which may turn into spring water at any time and disappear without a trace. There is a trace of sadness, but it is still beautiful and touching.The dim candlelight reflected in the dark green eyes, shining with crystal luster.

"I don't regret it." He uttered these four words softly, faintly but clearly, his originally hazy eyes suddenly became clear, "If you die on Dark Night Island, you will never see the mountains and rivers."

Chi Yuan was so angry that he stepped on his chest, Tian Cheng could no longer speak, a mouthful of blood gushed out from his mouth, staining his pale face red.

"Cheng Shanshui...?" Chi Yuan spit out these words from between his teeth, and said with a sneer, "You know, he is dead! There is no Cheng Shanshui in this world anymore!"

"You said..." Tian Cheng was so shocked that he couldn't even feel the pain all over his body for a moment. He wanted to ask, but Chi Yuan stepped down viciously again, and the steel nails on his back brought suffocation. The pain, coupled with the blood gushing from his mouth, made him unable to speak.

"What do you think? A ruthless person like the leader will have future troubles? What kind of person is Tongyan Shura? Even if he doesn't have internal strength, he might be able to do great things with his brain alone! The internal strength given to him by the leader, It was only enough for him to last for another month or so, and it has been almost three months now, Tongyan Shura should have been buried in the ground long ago! Tian Cheng, you actually believe the words of the leader! Dark Night Island, why are you such a fool! "Chi Yuan continued to speak, looking at it with satisfaction, the only brilliance in Tian Cheng's eyes dimmed little by little with his words.

When Chi Yuan was speaking, he kept stepping on Tian Cheng's chest with his right foot. After he finished speaking, when he was about to step on it again, he suddenly felt severe pain in his right leg, as if there was a powerful force hitting his right leg, bringing His whole body suddenly fell backwards.He rolled over and hit the wall before finally stopping. He wanted to get up, but found that his right leg was broken.

"Who!" He roared furiously, pulled out the knife at his waist, and looked at the person in front of him.

The man ignored him, but went straight to Tian Cheng, hugged him away from the cruel instrument of torture, frantically trying to help him stop the countless wounds and bleeding from his body.

Chi Yuan is a little strange. He doesn't recognize this person's face, but just now this person's palm can break his leg. Also, he will never recognize the lyre on this person's back , That's the guru's piano!

"You, you are the leader..." Chi Yuan had never seen the true face of the Heart Piercing Ghost Face, but seeing Qing Luo hugging Tian Cheng with such pity, he suddenly remembered the scene he had seen many years ago.

At that time, he wanted to strangle the unconscious Tian Cheng to death, so did the Ghost Face Piercer, he beat him aside, hugged Tian Cheng in such a friendly gesture, and left.

Qing Luo didn't have time to pay attention to him, he was wiping away the blood that was continuously flowing from Tian Cheng's lips in a panic, but found that he couldn't finish it at all.

He woke up in the ruined temple, his skills had already recovered, recalling the scene before he fell into a coma, he suddenly realized that Tian Cheng was saving him!He led Chi Yuan away by himself, preventing himself with damaged internal strength from falling into Chi Yuan's hands.Tian Cheng could guess that after Chi Yuan knew that he was the leader, he would definitely not treat him kindly!

Tian Cheng, would he still save himself?After so much suffering, does he still maintain a kind heart?He saved him, knowing that he was the one who tortured him for many years, but he still saved him, sacrificed himself to save him, it was natural for him, how could he... how could he do this?He was bitter in his heart, hating himself for failing him.

Back then when he brought back that bruised child, he shouldn't have thrown him to Dark Night Island. If he had known this, he should have taken him by his side back then, so that he would be well clothed and his hands would not be stained with blood. However, he did everything what?

"Cough..." Tian Cheng coughed up a mouthful of blood, opened his mouth with difficulty, and asked, "Qing Luo, Shan Shui..."

Qing Luo was at a loss for words, the first time Tian Cheng mentioned this name in front of him, he never said it, because he was afraid that Qing Luo would harm Cheng Shanshui, but now, he couldn't care less.

After hearing Chi Yuan's words, Qing Luo hated why he told Tian Cheng, told Tian Cheng, such a cruel fact!

Chi Yuan was right, he couldn't save Cheng Shanshui, even if he could, he might not be able to.That person, at this time, is probably dead, right?No, there is still a glimmer of hope. If he can cultivate Xuan Ye's Dzogchen, he can repair his meridians and live on. However, Qing Luo achieved Dzogchen in ignorance. He doesn't know how Dzogchen is.

Broken meridians, how to achieve Dzogchen?How slim this hope should be.

He was at a loss for words and didn't know how to answer for a while, Tian Cheng exhausted his last strength, staring at the expression on his face, the eagerness in his eyes, with his silence, faded away bit by bit, together with the last trace of life.

Qing Luo was in a hurry, and quickly took out a pill from her bosom, and stuffed it into Tian Cheng's mouth, it was the heart-protecting pill.The materials needed for this elixir are extremely precious and difficult to manufacture. They were exhausted some time ago, and they were re-refined recently, and he brought them with him.

There is no need to swallow, the heart protection pill melts in the mouth, how many times has Qing Luo used this thing to save Tian Cheng's life.

Chi Yuan saw it clearly, and the anger in his heart grew stronger, burning him so that he no longer had reason.On Dark Night Island, years of hatred and jealousy erupted at this moment.

"Master, you have been favoring him! Why are you favoring him! Where are we? We are all doomed, are we going to die?" He roared and struggled to stand up, but the broken leg made him unable to climb up at all. When he got up, it made him look very weird, "Have you forgotten me? Back then, my whole family died at the hands of robbers, and you saved me! But you saved me just to throw me into another hell? ? 42, what's so good about him? What's so worth it for you!"

The brothel looked at him coldly, he said, he saved him, Qing Luo seemed to have a little impression, he did save a child whose whole family died at the hands of robbers, but that was when Dark Night Island was first built, and based on their understanding of Xuan Ye , the more bitter and hated the person, the more likely they are to practice this skill, so they searched around for children who had a miserable life experience, and Chi Yuan was rescued by him at that time.

Tian Cheng was also rescued by him at that time, but at that time he was unconscious and abandoned in the wilderness as a corpse, and he didn't know who the person who saved him was.At that time, his injuries were unbearable, but Qing Luo didn't have much sympathy, because his father's tragic death had already chilled his heart, and there would be no waves in the face of any tragedy, at least, he thought so at the time of.

It's ridiculous that the Dark Night Island was originally established to cultivate Xuan Ye, not only did not a single Xuan Ye come out, but a Xuan Yu came out instead!When Qing Luo knew that Tian Cheng's aptitude was actually Xuan Yu, she was so shocked.It is said that those who practice Xuanyu must have a pure heart, only then will he really believe it!

"Seventeen, let me tell you, Tian Cheng, he is worth it, but you are not worth it!" Qing Luo's voice was very cold, and this was the usual tone of the heart piercing ghost face. With his hand, another palm wind broke Chi Yuan's right arm.

He hugged Tian Cheng tightly, stood up, and walked towards Chi Yuan step by step, his eyes were cold with anger: "Before you died, I will tell you the truth, the reason why I value Tian Cheng so much is because, I am Qinglan! "
