Between seas

At this time, the illusion set by the Nightmare Demon suddenly changed, and those past scenes gradually faded and disappeared before Shen Boru's eyes.

The surroundings fell into darkness again.Shen Boru walked forward slowly holding Chaosheng, he habitually raised his eyes to look above his head, but still couldn't see the sunlight.

In a trance, a beam of strong light shone from in front of Shen Boru, stabbing him so hard that he couldn't open his eyes, he raised his right hand subconsciously, and blocked it in front of him.

But there was a hand holding Shen Boru's palm.

The man smiled: "Ah Chen?"

Jiang Yizhou's voice.

Shen Boru hastily opened his eyes.

Only then did he realize that he was lying in the inn where he had previously lived.The windows in the house were open, and two gray sparrows were combing their feathers on the emerald branches, and the morning light spread all over the floor.

Jiang Yizhou sat by the bed, held Shen Boru's hand, and said with a smile, "Ah Chen, are you awake?"

Shen Boru glanced at Jiang Yizhou, then withdrew his hand, a little dazed.He didn't know what the hell the Nightmare was doing, one was the past and the other was the present.

Naturally, these actions of the Nightmare Demon will not be like reminiscing about the past with great kindness. The more beautiful the scene, the greater the danger it may mean.

After all, what Shen Boru was facing was the nightmare monster who was good at creating illusions. Before he could figure out the matter, he decided to follow the development of the illusion.

And Jiang Yizhou in front of him said sadly: "We just worshiped the heaven and the earth last night, and after only one night, you turned your face and didn't recognize anyone?"

"yesterday?"

Jiang Yizhou tilted his head slightly, stared at Shen Boru, as if he had discovered something extremely interesting, and said: "Ah Chen, why did you become so strange after you slept. Last night we were in the presence of the stone man grandma and A Fatty worshiped heaven and earth, and agreed to go to Yishui early this morning to find Wei Zi."

He paused, and then asked curiously: "Ah Shen was always laughing when he was sleeping, did he have a good dream, can you tell me?"

Probably because she knew she was in an illusion, Shen Boru spoke boldly: "I dreamed of the first time you said you liked me. You said, if I'm sad, I'll hug you."

Jiang Yizhou shook his head, he dressed Shen Boru, raised his eyebrows and said triumphantly: "I was not sensible when I was young. I shouldn't have said this, and I should add that you spend time with you when you are happy. When nothing happens."

"Poor mouth." Shen Boru pushed Jiang Yizhou away, got out of bed and put on his shoes.At this time, San Bao hurriedly opened the door with Ah Fei in his arms, her cheeks were red, and she smiled very beautifully, with a kind of cuteness unique to a little girl: "God, all the peonies in Luoyang City are in full bloom overnight! The street is full of flower fragrance, stained on the clothes, even a duster can't get it off."

Jiang Yizhou smiled and said: "Look at you child, can you enter the adult's house casually? With your frizzy appearance, I don't think anyone will dare to marry you in the future."

Sanbao pursed her lips, she put her hands on her hips, and said in disbelief, "Hey, I'm not married yet. If anyone wants to marry me, they need a box full of gold, pearls and treasures as dowry gifts, and eight palanquins will be carried to welcome them."

Jiang Yizhou said: "Are you marrying a wife or a grandma? What if you fall in love with a poor scholar?"

Sanbao said: "A girl's time is the most precious and priceless. I have given it to him all my life, and I can afford even the rarest things."

"As for the poor scholar, that's easy. If he can treat me sincerely for the rest of his life, then I only need two peach blossoms he personally folded as a dowry. If he can't do it, then he is not worthy of me, and I just leave , don't talk nonsense."

Shen Boru asked: "Why do you want peach blossoms?"

"Actually, it doesn't matter what kind of flower it is, whether he folded it himself, I just said it casually. My time is a priceless treasure, and his sincerity throughout his life is also a priceless treasure. It just matches."

Shen Boru smiled: "There is some truth to what you said." He walked to the window and stretched out his hand to push away three or four branches that were in front of him.

He saw a small tavern not far away, where an elderly couple embraced a jar of new wine and poured light red liquid into a large tea bowl on a small wooden table.

Probably because the old man was clumsy, the old woman slapped him on the shoulder with an angry face, but the strength was light.

The old man smiled shyly, and then yelled: "Wine from the Western Regions is the only one in the city!"

Several carriages stopped in front of the tavern, and Boss Qian and Qian Pingping got out of the carriages.Qian Pingping picked up a big tea bowl first, took a sip, and said with a smile, "Father, try it, it's delicious."

Boss Qian waved his hand: "I'm old, it's not good. Since you like it, we'll buy it."

Qian Pingping picked up a small jar of wine with a smile, and jumped into the car like a five or six-year-old child.

It was only then that Shen Boru realized that illusions also have benefits of illusions, at least those who left would come back in another way.

Jiang Yizhou called out: "Ah Chen, let's go out."

Shen Boru put down the branch in his hand, closed the window, and followed them downstairs.

The morning light is slightly warm.

On the street, the yelling of many small vendors came and went, mixed with the rumble of carts and horses, making it hard to tell the difference between east, west, and north.

A little girl selling peach blossoms yelled crisply: "The last few peach blossoms, two copper coins each!" She saw Shen Boru, her eyes lit up, she trotted after them, stretched out her hand timidly to hold Shen Boru's sleeve, He gasped and said, "Brother, let's buy a branch of peach blossom. This flower matches you, and it's very cheap."

Shen Boru saw that she was thin and small, it must be because she hadn't had a full meal for a long time and she was so hungry.He thought for a while, then took out some copper coins and handed them to the little girl: "I'll buy two."

The little girl smiled happily, first gave the flowers, and then took the money.She looked down at the extra copper plates in her hand, first clenched her fists tightly, but after a moment of hesitation, she stretched out her palms again, handed the extra coins back, and said with a smile: "Brother, if there are too many, I will return them to you."

Shen Boru thought for a while, took back those copper coins, and said warmly, "Thank you."

The little girl smiled shyly and went to the distance.

Shen Boru stuffed two more peach blossoms to Jiang Yizhou, without saying anything.

Jiang Yizhou held up the two peach blossoms to the sun, squinted his eyes and looked at them, pretending to be sorry and said: "Oh, what about the two peach blossoms, it's a pity you didn't break them for me, Ah Chen."

Shen Boru said: "It's all given to you, it doesn't matter if you fold it yourself."

Just like what Sanbao said, in fact, it doesn't matter what kind of flowers you send, whether you fold them yourself or not.

Even in the illusion, I still want to send a sincere heart.

Ah Fei grinned: "It's really sour."

Sanbao also bared his teeth: "It's really sour."

Jiang Yizhou shook his head, his brows and eyes were full of coquettish complacency: "It's so sweet, it's so sweet."

Not long after, the four of them came to the outside of Longmen, by the Yishui River.

In the illusion, there are no monsters who steal people's heads in Luoyang City, only tourists who are laughing and laughing, and peonies blooming by the Yishui River.

Lively, but also quiet.

Wei Zi and Yao Huang are sitting by the Yishui River.Wei Zi leaned on Yao Huang's shoulder, playing with his hanging hair with both hands.Seeing Shen Boru coming, she pulled Yao Huang to stand up, and said with a smile: "Shenjun, look, this is the person I like."

She said a matter of course, without any pretentious shyness.

Yao Huang looked sideways at Wei Zi, he didn't speak, just smiled.

Wei Zi pinched his arm and said angrily, "Why are you smirking, why don't you say hello to the god."

Only then did Yao Huang realize that there were other people around him, and he said dully, "Shenjun."

Shen Boru laughed.

Wei Zi took off the Luoshui stone worn on his wrist, handed it to Shen Boru, and said with a smile: "Shen Jun, what you want."

Knowing that it was an illusion, Shen Boru still couldn't help asking: "What are your plans for the future?"

"I don't have any plans. Yao Huang jumped over the dragon gate by luck and became the water god of Yishui. I'll be with him. We made a wish to Grandma Shiren."

Shen Boru unconsciously held onto Jiang Yizhou's sleeve, and sighed to Wei Zi, who was smiling sweetly in front of him, "This is very good."

Compared with the ending where the two cannot meet each other in reality, this is very good.

By the Yishui River, the sun lightly brushes the banks of the willows.

After that, the group returned along the original road and passed the tavern of "Li Hua and Xiao Ming".

The business of the tavern is still very good, and the sound of toasting from inside is like the sound of Luoshui rushing, endlessly.

Shen Boru didn't go in, but stood outside the big red wine flag, looking into the tavern from a distance.

The proprietress wiped the sweat of the waiter who was sweating profusely from work.Before the wiping was finished, the waiter in the shop heard the shouts from the customers and left the proprietress behind to serve the wine.

The proprietress frowned and muttered a few words.She threw down the veil angrily, strode back to the counter, fiddled with the abacus with her head sullen.

Shen Boru smiled, then pulled up Jiang Yizhou, took Sanbao and Ah Fei with him, and went to the next place.

Simplicity is not necessarily happiness.

Then, they came to Zhangjia Village.

A happy event is going on in Zhangjia Village.The red sedan chair carrying the bride moved slowly along the clear Zhang River.

Along the way, the big red firecrackers exploded everywhere.

The Goddess in Tsing Yi in the water got a handful of melon seeds from nowhere, imitating ordinary people, while nibbling, she followed the crowd to join in the fun, with a curious and happy expression on her face.

Jiang Yizhou asked the villagers of Zhangjia Village: "When we get married, the sedan chair goes around the Zhang River. Is there any particularity in it?"

The villager said: "It's nothing special. Today is the marriage between the young master of the Zhang family and the girl of the Fu family. The two of them are neighbors. The distance between them is a few steps, and the sedan chair can't walk. So I came up with such a way to walk around the Zhang River. Come around and go back."

He said again: "We are guests from afar. Now that you have caught up with this good time, let's enjoy a glass of wedding wine."

Shen Boru did not refuse, and continued on the road after drinking the wedding wine.

They came to Yecheng again.

When entering the city, Shen Boru saw Miss Yan and Yan Hua.They each carried a big and bulging burden, and walked westward.

He heard Miss Yan say: "People say that the Western Regions are beautiful and have scenery different from that of the Central Plains. Can you tell me about it? There is also the poem 'West out of Yangguan without enemies'. The world is invincible, so powerful?"

Yan Hua said helplessly, "It's 'West out of Yangguan without an old friend', you read it wrong. I don't know how to tell you about the beauty of the Western Regions. If you say it gorgeously, it will appear hypocritical, and if you say it plainly, it will appear ordinary. You’ll have to go and see for yourself to find out.”

"Then I know." Miss Yan said again: "What is an old friend? It's just nonsense. You are my old friend, and I am your old friend. Even if we leave Yangguan Yumenguan together, we will not be alone. Man, I still prefer no enemies. Hey, how comfortable."

Yan Hua smiled: "It's what you say."

Miss Yan also laughed.

Shen Boru looked at their gradually receding figures, and sighed softly.

How nice it would be if that were the case.

Finally, Shen Boru and the others returned to the South China Sea.

The small house on the island is still there, but it has become dilapidated and uninhabitable.

It took Jiang Yizhou a long time to build it into a house, and he barely lived in it.

They opened a small vegetable field behind the house and grew vegetables in it.Because no one has planted it before, the weeds are much more luxuriant than the vegetables. At a glance, all kinds of grasses are complete, as if a group of demons are dancing.

Ah Fei and San Bao wanted to help, so they pulled out all the vegetables that were squeezed in the cracks, and the plan of growing vegetables was over.

Regarding this, Shen Boru said: "Just plant some wild vegetables."

Jiang Yizhou smiled and said: "Ah Chen is right, that's fine... why don't we just stay here forever and not go anywhere."

Shen Boru said: "No. I have seen what I have always wanted to see in my heart, and I should go. The real him is still waiting for me outside."

From the moment Acui and his wife appeared, Shen Boru knew that this illusion was formed by his own delusions.

The ending of everyone inside was what he had always hoped for.

It is not difficult to break this illusion, as long as Chao Sheng Dao cuts down on the deepest obsession in his heart.

In other words, kill Jiang Yizhou in the illusion.

Jiang Yizhou in the illusion asked puzzledly: "Ah Chen, what is outside? Who is waiting for you?"

Shen Boru smiled and said, "Jiang Yizhou is waiting for me."

"But I'm here."

"I came up with you, not him."

He is very clear.

Before he could finish speaking, Chaosheng Dao slashed heavily at the illusory shadow in Shen Boru's heart.

The sound of the wind stopped suddenly.

The moment the illusion collapsed, Shen Boru suddenly felt a very sharp short knife pierced into his heart from behind, the tip of the knife pierced through, and blood gushed out instantly, staining his sky-blue clothes.

It hurts.

The Nightmare attached to the uncle was standing behind him, holding the short knife in his hand.

The nightmare whispered softly: "Shenjun, when you were in Zhangjiacun back then, this knife cut your finger, you should have thought of this day."

"I handed over Dachun to Yan Hua, I brought Jiang Yizhou here, and I released Xiyang. How could there be so many coincidences in the world?"

"When you meet Jiang Yizhou, don't you want to die? In this way, you will follow the land I left behind to find you. From Yecheng to Zhangjiacun, to Luoyang, the last person came to my Nightmare Town in."

"Jiang Yizhou, this little monster is really useful."

He paused, and then reminded: "Shenjun, you are going to die."

The author has something to say:

really sad
