burning lamp

In the darkness of the world, Yan Nan looked at Xie Fengshu blankly: "What?"

Before Xie Fengshu could ask again, a member of the Wu Chu tribe not far away let out a panicked exclamation.

Several people immediately turned their heads, and a black demonic energy rushed down from the sky, as if they had sprouted minions, and rushed towards the crowd.

The next moment, Yan Nan shot an arrow, and it hit the black mist. The mist scattered for a moment, and then immediately joined together, and rushed towards Yan Nan. Just as Yan Nan was about to take the arrow, Xiaoxi beside him had already froze. The whip shattered the demonic energy.

This was just the beginning, and countless groups of devilish energy began to howl from all directions, crazily engulfing the crowd.

They are not entities at all, they can't be cut and killed, just split with a knife, and immediately take shape to counterattack.The scene was chaotic, and several people couldn't take care of it in time. Some people had already been swallowed by the devil's energy and screamed terribly.Xie Fengshu slashed away the devilish energy in front of him, and rushed over there.

It was too late, the demonic energy dissipated, and the man had already turned into a bone.

Xie Fengshu's chest rose and fell rapidly, and he gritted his teeth and shouted: "Jiangchen! Where is your lotus just now!"

"It's useless." It was Xiaoxi who answered him.The other party shouted loudly: "Too many!"

It is indeed too much, Xie Fengshu has never seen so much devilish energy in this life, covering the sky and blocking out the sun, and the darkness is like a tide rushing in.

The eye must be found.

Xie Fengshu went to call Yannan again; "Where did your uncle go when he came back?"

Yannan's voice came from afar, somewhat indistinctly: "I don't know!"

Xie Fengshu looked around, recalling frantically the night he saw Bayin, one after another someone was swallowed by the devilish energy, and a child's shrill cry came, indicating that the devilish energy had already entered the house.Xie Fengshu threw a burning talisman to barely stop it, and Jiang Chen had already arrived in front of the bamboo house.

But at this moment, Yan Nan's voice suddenly came over: "Idol! Chiyou Idol!"

Xie Fengshu then set his eyes on the statue of Chi You.

At this time, he discovered that the demonic energy was overwhelming and rampant, but there was a short vacancy at Chi You's stone statue.

Xie Fengshu jumped up with the saber in hand, and slashed at the statue.

Feng Yuan's cold light was icy, and his evil aura was overwhelming, he actually chopped off the stone statue in half!Chi You's upper body slowly fell to the ground while holding the axe, making a dull and loud noise.

Between heaven and earth, everything suddenly stopped.

It was a strange silence and pause, as if the entire space had been sealed by someone, and even the strong wind seemed to stop in the air, but this process only lasted for a short moment, and then countless demonic energy suddenly burst in the air , was swept away by the mountain wind.

Xie Fengshu breathed a sigh of relief, retracted his knife and wanted to walk towards the injured crowd, but Jiang Chen suddenly pulled him back.

"Wait a minute."

Xie Fengshu was about to ask what's the matter, but he looked past Jiang Chen and stopped again.

It wasn't just the demonic energy that dissipated in front of my eyes, the countless Wuchu clansmen with knives and bows also slowly faded into the mountain wind, followed by houses, vegetable fields, bamboo forests... like a pile of sand and stones, blown away by the wind The traces are gone, revealing the original appearance.

There are no villages, no clansmen, and no bamboo forests or houses. There is a mountain in front of me. There are no old trees.

Only Xie Fengshu, Jiangchen, Xiaoxi and Yannan in front of him were left in place.

After a while, Xie Fengshu finally found his voice: "How could it be—"

"Brother Xie, don't you know that we are all dead."

Yan Nan smiled: "The eyes of the formation of the magic cultivator are in the stone statue, and the eyes of the Xingluo mingpan are also in the stone statue—although they are separated by 100 years, time is reversed, and they overlap again."

While speaking, Yannan's body also changed.Some of the flesh and blood on his body began to fester and dissipate, revealing dense bones, especially the right hand, where only a skeleton remained, protruding from the wide sleeve of Chu Lan.The only thing that was intact was the longevity lock around his neck, hanging empty, and when the wind blew, it made a soft sound in the wilderness.

Xie Fengshu's voice was hoarse: "What's going on?"

Yannan replied: "Actually, many of what you have experienced is true - 100 years ago, because of the position of patriarch, my uncle ran away in anger and encountered those things.

"They probably told him that they could help him regain the position of patriarch. Uncle believed it, so he gave them his wooden sign as a token and brought them into the mountain."

As a result, hundreds of Wuchu people were used as sacrifices by the Demon Sect, grinding their teeth and sucking blood, leaving only bones.

Yannan was only 17 years old at the time, and his biggest worry every day was when he could hunt the bear to adulthood. What he waited for was to witness the demise of the whole family, and he died at that time.

He was unwilling and unwilling to reincarnate, so he buried the bones of the whole family with the strength that was still available in his remnant soul.

How powerful can a ghost of an untimely death be?Yannan refused to admit defeat, and slowly dug the soil bit by bit, moving the corpse inch by inch, so that the clansmen could rest in the soil.When the last bit of soil was lifted down, the dead trees that died in the wildfire had sprouted.

So far, the old ghost of the lonely grave has been alone for a hundred years.

In the silence, the bones of Yan Nan's right hand were empty in the wind. He seemed to understand what Xie Fengshu and the others wanted to know, and continued: "Some time ago, a man came to me suddenly. He held a compass and said he could Let the clansmen come back, as well as Yan Xia. The condition is to help him bring you into the mountain..."

Speaking of this, Yan Nan looked at Jiang Chen: "He said there was a monk in white clothes inside, and asked me to steal a lamp from him."

In the silence, mocking Xi said: "You clearly know that the eyes of the compass are in the statue of Chi You."

"He said that we have enshrined god statues for thousands of years, and Chi You statues have a lot of spiritual power available, which can help the fate chart to run." Yannan said softly, "But just now... I can't watch them die again."

"They call me Sibu. I failed to protect them well before I was alive. I must do it after death."

He looked at the three of them, and said in a low voice: "Actually, I asked Yan Xia to watch you several times, just to take the opportunity to take the lamp, and I didn't fall asleep that night when I stole the wine." Yan Nan paused, "But I think, You really treat me as a friend, I shouldn't do this."

Yan Nan seemed to have done something wrong, he no longer had the youthful free and easy attitude of the past, he just lowered his head and smiled: "Brother Xie, I'm sorry for you, but I really miss them so much."

After a long time, Xie Fengshu replied: "You didn't feel sorry for anyone."

His voice was a little hoarse, he looked at Yannan, and repeated: "You have not sorry for us, nor have you sorry for the tribe."

Other than that, Xie Fengshu didn't seem to be able to say anything, he subconsciously turned his head to look at Jiang Chen.

There was no expression on Jiang Chen's face, he just looked at Yan Nan and asked, "Is the person who came to look for you a demon?"

"It's not like, he covered his face and wore a black robe, but it gave me a different feeling." Yannan said hesitantly, "He speaks very softly, and his body smells the same as yours—a bit bitter, but also a bit fragrant."

Sandalwood aroma.

"anything else?"

"Also... when he handed me the horoscope, I saw that there seemed to be a lot of black words tattooed on it, densely packed, covering his hands all over."

Yan Nan looked at Xie Fengshu: "It's the words on Brother Xie's knife."

Sanskrit.

After a long time, Jiang Chen nodded and walked towards Yannan.

Xie Fengshu immediately remembered what Jiang Chen said in the temple, "Cultivating the Tao has no compassion", and quickly stepped forward to stop him: "What are you going to do?"

Jiang Chen raised his eyes to look at Xie Fengshu, and replied indifferently: "He has stayed in the world for too long with a remnant soul, and he will erase his past and transform into this life."

What he said was the truth, Xie Fengshu knew it, but he didn't want to give in.Yan Nan has obsessions in his heart, his soul is incomplete, and he has been trapped for hundreds of years, and has no chance of reincarnation. What Jiang Chen said is probably to make him disappear.

During the stalemate, Xie Fengshu gave in first, and said in a low voice: "At least wait, at least—"

At least, the tribe and sister that Yannan missed were still here.

Xie Fengshu spoke incoherently, and didn't know what he was going to say, when a voice came from behind him: "Forget it, Brother Xie."

With a relaxed smile, Yan Nan comforted Xie Fengshu: "I've stayed long enough, it's time to go."

He is covered with carrion and bones, but he is still beautiful when he smiles, his eyebrows and eyes are like mountains and streams, and he is not stained with the dust of the world.

"I've seen them before, and I have no regrets in this life."

Xie Fengshu looked stunned, and after a long time, he finally put down his hand.

Jiang Chen glanced at Xie Fengshu, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't say anything in the end.He walked up to Yannan, raised his hand to chant, and softly recited the Buddha's name.A golden lotus pattern suddenly appeared between Yan Nan's eyebrows, flowing towards his whole body.

In the golden light, Yannan's white bones slowly disappeared and turned into a intact body again. Afterwards, Yannan's entire body gradually faded, like smoke and dust in mid-air.

Jiang Chen suddenly said: "Golden lotus is added to the body, the karma will be wiped out, and you will enter the path of reincarnation."

Xie Fengshu heard the words, raised his head and looked at the other party in astonishment.Jiang Chen didn't look at him, but only looked at Yannan: "Your clansmen should have already reincarnated, don't cling to the past."

Yan Nan was startled, lowered his eyes and replied, "Thank you."

At this moment, he finally completely let go of the unwillingness and loneliness that filled his heart. When he disappeared, he suddenly turned his head to look at Xie Fengshu, and shouted: "Brother Xie."

Because the soul faded, the voice would also become weak, but Yan Nan raised his voice, and in a trance, he became that hearty and reckless young man again.

He said loudly: "That night you took me to drink to watch the stars and listen to my words. That was the happiest time in my 100 years."

These are his last words.

Following these words, Yan Nan's soul finally completely disappeared into the world, and the mountain wind blew past, only stirring the mountains and forests.

Jiang Chen turned around and passed by Xie Fengshu, Xie Fengshu said in a low voice: "You—"

He didn't continue, and Jiang Chen didn't ask, just said: "Let's go."

They still have to look for the horoscope.

Walking to the top of the cliff, about to enter a ray of sky, Xie Fengshu looked back.

That night, the lights were shining brightly, competing with the stars, and it was here that Yannan brought the three of them into the clan.

But today's Liao Kuang, with green forests like the sea, the bloody battle a hundred years ago has been completely covered by new vegetation, and the afterglow is quiet, as if this is just the most ordinary corner of the southwest.

From then on, for millions of years, no one will know that there was once a boy of a foreign race wearing a longevity lock, who would follow Xie Fengshu to steal wine and drink fearfully, and would say "you are my friends!" ", the spirit is soaring, like the wind and the courage, and the whole body is clear and can show the mountains and rivers.

When he was 17 years old, his greatest wish was to hunt a black bear, so that he could take his younger sister to see the vastness of the world and the tides of the world.

He died at this age.

Xie Fengshu just turned his head and wanted to say "Let's go." His face suddenly turned cold.

He was stunned for a moment, and when the coolness came again, he realized that it was not his own illusion, Xiaoxi had already raised his head to look at the sky.

"Snowing."

Although the snow fell suddenly, it was extremely turbulent. However, the mountains and rivers were already white for a while, and the southwest, which never snowed, finally had a snowstorm today.

It's just the green mountains and lonely snow, no one can look forward to, and no one will wait any longer.
