dream of you

The entire passageway was shining with golden light. When everyone took a closer look, they found that it was actually paved with gold bricks. Each piece of gold brick was polished to a smooth and seamless connection. It felt like entering a golden cave.At the end of the passage, there is a corner leading to the right. Walking to the corner and looking around, it is suddenly clear that it is really a golden cave!

To be precise, this is a golden house with an area of ​​more than 100 square meters. The walls and roof surrounded by gold, the big bed made of gold, the tables and chairs made of gold...Anyway, everything in this golden house is gold That's right.

"Is it too vulgar?" Ye Su rolled her eyes and complained.

Everyone stood at the entrance and looked over the golden house, but they couldn't find anything other than gold, and the key point was that they didn't see the road leading to other places, so they had no choice but to bite the bullet and walked into the golden house. Groping around, trying to find something like a mechanism.

However, nothing was found, everything in this golden house was fixed, and every facility could not be moved.The ground is painted with extremely complicated lines, criss-crossing and covering the whole room.

Just when everyone was at a loss, there was a sound of "cuckoo" from the ground, as if something was about to break through the ground and rush out, and everyone surrounded them in a panic.The next moment, the golden column suddenly rose from the ground, and the speed of the rise was so fast that the people who had no cultivation had no time to jump out. At the very moment, they simply threw Li Zhi, who was held horizontally in their hands, forcefully, Immediately afterwards, the column "clanged" and was inserted into the roof, and everyone was trapped in a golden cage.

And the golden house suddenly disappeared like a shattered glass, and everyone was in a huge cave all of a sudden, flames were automatically lit on all sides, illuminating the cave, and the rocks above their heads were like Spikes, and these rocks are sinking at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Even chopping with a sword and a knife could not cause the slightest damage to the cage, Jian Yuyao guessed: "This may be a gold-plated black iron cage, it is impossible to cut it open, wait for Lizi to wake up and find out if there is any mechanism. "Everyone had no choice but to sit down cross-legged and wait for Li Zhi to wake up.

After half a stick of incense, Li Zhi opened his eyes. He saw the trapped people at first sight, stood up quickly, and said, "Master, you..."

"We may have touched the trap, and now only you can find out if there is any way to rescue us." Jian Shengxuan said with a sigh.

Li Zhi nodded, looked around, and found a black stone tablet engraved with strange patterns in an inconspicuous corner.Li Zhi, who had been holding a mouthful of blood in his throat due to the singing of the merman earlier, just coughed up. The blood splashed on the pattern of the stone tablet, and the stone tablet glowed with a dazzling white light. After the light dimmed, the stone tablet slowly rose, and the original black strange pattern turned into a blur. It became white, and it turned out to be the other shore flower.

The other shore flower, the tenderness of the devil.According to folklore, the flowers that voluntarily threw themselves into hell were sent back by the demons, but they still lingered on the road to the underworld. The demons couldn't bear it, so they agreed to let it bloom on this road, giving guidance and comfort to the souls who left the human world.

It is rumored that white flowers are mandala flowers blooming on the road to heaven, and red flowers are manjusawa blooming on the road to hell.Both represent death, the former is biased towards another interpretation of death: rebirth, and the other is biased towards the hesitation and wandering of pain and regret: depravity.

So there is only a thin line between hell and heaven.The so-called difference between angels and demons is nothing more than the meaning of color and burden.

The stele turned into a stone platform, and a line of words was engraved on the stone pillar below: "The flowers on the other side bloom on the other side, and the river of forgetfulness bleeds and flows into the river of forgetfulness." Gushing out and dripping on the lines of the Bana flowers, the white Bana flowers are gradually dyed red, dazzling bright red.

The blood flowed along the petals and gathered in the rhizome. Only then did Li Zhi realize that the rhizome was extending all the way to the bottom of the stone tablet. Following the lines carved on the stone, the lines actually covered the entire ground!

Li Zhi felt a little helpless, she was going to empty herself out!Then I thought about it, there are so many people here, it should be no problem for everyone to donate some blood.So he walked up to the crowd and explained the situation. Jian Yuyao nodded and said, "Then let's do the bloodletting."

"I don't know if this stele has any requirements for blood. Mine is fine. Let's try it with another person's blood first. Otherwise, everyone has bled, but it's useless. Isn't it a waste?" Li Zhi thought for a while and said .

As soon as the words fell, the silent Jian Yanzhi had cut his palm, and Jian Shengxuan took out a small white cup out of nowhere to catch the blood and handed it to Li Zhi. Li Zhi took a deep look at Jian Yanzhi, and came again In front of the stone platform, the blood was poured on the pattern on the other side, but the blood evaporated quickly.

Li Zhi frowned, turned around and shook her head at everyone.Jian Yuyao frowned, and said in a deep voice: "It seems that this flower does have requirements for blood, and Lizi's blood is indeed special, but if only his blood is used, then he can only fill the lines of this place if he bleeds all the blood. Each of us should take blood to try, use it if it works, and think of other ways if it doesn’t work.”

Everyone agreed.After trying everything, they found that there was no one available except Li Zhi. Everyone looked up at the stone top that was still sinking a little bit, and then turned their heads to look at Li Zhi.

Li Zhi fell into deep thought: the other side, the other side, in the human world during life, is this side, and after death, enters the ghost world, is the other side.Could it be that not only death represents the other shore?Or does it not refer to life and death, but simply represents two worlds?

Two worlds!

As an outsider, no one knows the meaning of this better than Li Zhi. There are two worlds at both ends of Suihai, and the two worlds have many things in common. Moreover, Li Zhi has indeed come to this world from the other side, which is enough Explain that both worlds are real.

Thinking about it again, only his own blood from the other side reacted to the Bianhua flower on the stone tablet, which further verified Li Zhi's guess.Li Zhi sighed, and smiled self-deprecatingly, this mechanism was tailor-made for him.

Jian Yan, who had been watching Li Zhi all this time, felt faintly flustered when he saw his reaction.Seeing Li Zhi looking back at herself, with dark brown eyes looking straight into Jian Yanzhi's eyes, Jian Yan saw his nostalgia, his reluctance, his helplessness, as well as his determination and awe-inspiring. In other words, the uneasiness and panic in his heart were instantly magnified infinitely.

As if impatient to confirm his conjecture, Li Zhi looked up at the stone top which was getting closer and closer to the crowd, knowing that time was running out, she turned around and walked towards the stone platform without looking back. "Stop!" A brief roar came from behind.

But Li Zhi didn't seem to hear it, he didn't even pause in his footsteps, and kept walking towards the stone platform at his original speed.Everyone understood Li Zhi's decision in an instant, they couldn't make any sound, they just stared fixedly at his figure.

After arriving at the stone platform, Li Zhi turned around to face the crowd, but did not raise her head. Instead, she bit her finger and took out a white handkerchief with the family crest of Jian's family from her bosom. She wrote something with blood on it. It was the handkerchief used to stop his bleeding when he was at the sword sacrifice altar.

Everyone looked at Jian Yanzhi unanimously, Jian Yanzhi's expression was three points colder than usual indifference: "Come back."

Li Zhi still turned a deaf ear, put the handkerchief full of words back into his arms, raised his left hand to the stone platform, raised the dagger with his right hand, and quickly slashed his wrist heavily, the bright red blood gushed out instantly, and flowed to the side of the flower on the other side. On the lines, they quickly gathered at the rhizomes, and then scrambled down, the blood-filled ground lines faintly glowing dark red.

Li Zhi's face turned from pale to pale, and her reddish lips began to turn blue, no, it's too late, hurry up!Hurry up!Li Zhi bit the dagger with her mouth, and raised her right hand to draw a deep wound. Seeing this scene, her heart ached beyond measure, her body trembled slightly, and she murmured tremblingly: "Don't, don't, don't do this. ..”

Soon, Li Zhi couldn't stand up anymore, his legs were weak, and he knelt in front of the stone platform, his consciousness gradually became blurred due to excessive blood loss, his eyes began to turn black, and his ears began to ring. Forcing himself to put his hands on the stone platform, he clenched the dagger and cut dozens of deep gashes on his arm.

He really had no strength left, Li Zhi lay down on the stone platform, the blood was still rushing out crazily, he felt his body began to cool down, and his heart beat slower and slower, it turns out that this is the feeling of dying from excessive blood loss ah.

Finally lost the last consciousness, Li Zhi slowly closed his eyes, and heard a simple roar not far away: "A Li!" There was a smile on the corner of his mouth, you really lost your composure today, I didn't mean to save this World, I just want to save you...

After an hour, the blood finally filled the lines on the ground, and the entire space was hidden in a dark red twilight, and the air was filled with a faint smell of blood. Finally, the prison that trapped everyone sank slowly, and the upper part fell. The top of the stone also began to slowly rise.

But no one had the courage to take a step, just watched Jian Yanzhi walk towards Li Zhi tremblingly step by step, knelt beside him, stretched out his hand and gently embraced him, as if holding the most fragile in the world Treasure, buried her head on his neck, trembling and choking softly: "No, no, no, no...don't leave me..."

"Who?!" There was a very slight sound of footsteps, and Jian Shengxuan turned around and roared.

The sound of footsteps stopped, and everyone looked towards the entrance of the cave, and saw a man in white standing with his backlit, unable to see his face clearly, he chuckled lightly, with a warm and hearty voice: "Surviving adversity is the only way to survive adversity. You who are trapped in the realm of nothingness are the common people in the world, and you are also referring to Li Zhi. This disaster has already required a painful price. The original price was the Mo family and those soul golden elixir, as well as Li Zhi, but now it is added for those who were drawn into disasters because the future was not prevented in time."

As he said that, the man took out a folding fan from his waist and fanned it, and said: "People, when judging right from wrong, they always use the immediate interests as the standard, and only believe in the so-called good, so they intend to put all the evil to death." He is obliterated, but he does not know that doing evil is doing good. Shen Xingchen is like this, Jian Jili is like this, and Mo Ran is like this. Sigh, but you don't have to worry about it. It doesn't matter if Li Zhi dies here, you will soon will be forgotten."

"Hehe." The man gave a low laugh, and slapped the fan with his backhand on the crowd. Suddenly, a scent spread, and before the crowd even had time to say a word, they fell to the ground and passed out.Jian Zhi forced himself to stroke his right hand with the sword, as if trying to stay awake.

The man just waited like this, seeing that Jian Yanzhi, who gritted his teeth and endured it for a long time, finally fell asleep, the man stepped forward, picked Li Zhi from his arms, caught a glimpse of the handkerchief in Jian Yanzhi's hand, thought for a while , or took it away: "Forget it."

Blood book: "In other words, I am not from here. It was a pure accident to come here, and it is fate to meet you. I have been unlucky for most of my life. It is my rare luck to meet Master and everyone. Seeing you is a great blessing to me. I believe that I am not dead, but I have to leave. At the beginning, I was forced to send me here regardless of my opinion, and now I am forced to leave on my own. Love to be funny. Don’t read it.”
