It takes a lot of mana to activate the Yang-returning formation, not to mention the operation of this formation day by day, so that the souls of the people in the formation can be recalled from the underworld to the yang. Because when Dong Qinghe was assassinated, all of them were backlashed into the other party's body by the curse of the three souls, and there was not much left in his morality. Lu didn't dare to use it. After all, this formation was aimed at the two of them. It would be bad if someone interfered and ruined the Yangyang formation. Shen Yuanxiu was able to succeed back then because no one talked too much and it was done in secret, so With all parties' escape routes blocked, Chang Jiaci could only rely on those qi-invigorating pills and his own ability to resist.

In fact, Yu Miao came during the period. He stood far away the first two times. I don’t know if Murong Jiaoyang told him not to come and meddle. I disliked him, so I gradually became bolder, but he didn't come to bother me any more, but prepared some daily expenses and a lot of pills secretly outside the cave after a short period of time, which really helped Quite busy.

But even if Chang Jiaci can survive for a day, two days, a year, or two years, how can he sustain it in the long run?Under the circumstances that no one could rely on, this person became so thin and wilted little by little, and Chang Jiaci, who had spent everything in this formation, finally looked like a walking dead.

Chang Jiaci remembered that he, who was still a flower, had asked Shen Yuanxiu when he was helping Shen Yuanxiu find the Big Dipper Array.

Chang Jiaci said: "You are not even afraid of death, so you have a fearful face all the time. What are you afraid of?"

How Shen Yuanxiu answered.

He said, "I'm afraid of waiting..."

Chang Jiaci didn't understand what he was talking about at that time, but now he can empathize so thoroughly, life or death is not the most terrifying thing, the long and endless unknown is the most disturbing and tormenting , like a knife hanging above his head, he didn't know when it would fall down and cut his neck, but he didn't even have the strength to raise his hand to stop it.

Obviously when he attacked Dong Qinghe at that time, he promised so swearingly that he would bring this person back, and he would definitely wait for him to come back, but time flies, time turns, and I don’t know how long I have been waiting day after day. With Jiaci's body and his heart, he gradually began to become fearful and restless, no matter how confident he was in the outside world, he would be so anxious and afraid when he was alone in the middle of the night, he was afraid that he would not be able to finally call Dong Qinghe back, and even more Afraid……

So he is often afraid of the night, and also afraid of going to sleep, but the lack of cultivation makes Chang Jiaci more and more drowsy, and the longer he sleeps, every time he wakes up in a daze and sees the newborn sun, he will sigh that he has survived again one day.

However, how many days can he have?Will I still be able to wake up next time?

Before eyelids drooped again, Chang Jiaci tremblingly touched An Mi's face, muttering silently.

Qinghe...you promised me to come back...

But I'm really afraid that I won't be able to wait...

********

The green is deep, the night is long, and a little green occasionally tears away the overflowing blackness, leaving behind a string of gloomy phantoms, which are fleeting and solitary.

This is the netherworld, a place where the living are not allowed to enter.

A flickering green shadow came faintly from the night and stopped in a void. After a while, a low voice came out from the green shadow, with a sinister sneer.

"Hehe, you said that if Chang Jiaci knew that the return to the sun had been completed, and you were the one who didn't come back, what would he think? Did he hate you? Blame you? Or continue to waste everything on On you? Dong Qinghe?"

In front of the green shadow, there was also a green shadow sitting cross-legged. Isn't that the person Chang Jia bestowed on him?It's just that his complexion is greener and paler, and his complexion is more rigid. It's obviously a soul.

Dong Qinghe, who was named, slowly raised his head to look at the shadow who had the same face as him, but the color was lighter than his own.

Dong Qinghe asked: "Youzhen, you are a demon cultivator, how dare you come to the underworld?" Aren't you afraid that the soul-suppressing talisman on the ground will strangle him to death?

Unexpectedly, Youzhen's posture was very willful: "When I died, Chang Jiaci fixed my soul in place to prevent my soul from flying away. I came here just to consume a little more of his cultivation. It is different from what you are doing now. What's the difference? What do you feel bad about? I can feel that his dantian has dried up, and I'm afraid it will only last for a day or two at most, and it will be a waste of work in the end."

You Zhen's sharp words did not anger Dong Qinghe, he still sat there calmly, motionless, just when You Zhen thought that he might not reply to him, Dong Qinghe suddenly said something.

"I won't let him die."

You Zhen was stunned, and then laughed wantonly, although his face was equally stiff, and his laughter was weak, but he practiced with soul and body for a long time, and he was a little more comfortable than Dong Qinghe.

"Just because of you now..."

But before the words were finished, a faint light suddenly lit up in the distance, right in front of you, and Youzhen looked around, but there was only darkness in that place, which made him think it was just his own illusion, but when he treated him carefully, After watching for a while, I saw that the light in that place became more and more intense, gradually gathering together from floating and twinkling sporadic points of light, and then gradually expanding, forming a circle of light, like a pen with stars as ink , sketched out a picture of light on the pitch-black paper, and the outline of that light turned out to be...

a tree.

Dong Qinghe also turned his head as if aware of it, and when he saw the light and shadow, he raised the corners of his drooping mouth with difficulty, and his eyes widened accordingly, adding a bit of vitality to the soul.

"This is..." Youzhen couldn't help but took a step forward, and said in surprise, "Twin trees..."

Listening to the address being read out by the other party, Dong Qinghe nodded: "Yes..."

"You actually really..."

You Zhen couldn't believe it, he and Dong Qinghe were one in origin, before encountering the three soul curse, he had been sealed in Dong Qinghe by the soul-raising array as evil thoughts, no, in Lian Tang's body, what the other party did before is natural You Zhen couldn't hide it from You Zhen, so You Zhen also recognized this tree, this twin tree, but he never thought that this tree could be planted.

Youzhen couldn't help but recall the ghost messenger's words that day.

It happened when Lian Tang died in his first life. Chang Jiaci was manipulated by evil thoughts and killed everyone around Lian Tang. Although he lost everything, Lian Tang still survived to beg for him. After returning to justice, he entered the underworld. On the way to be reincarnated by the ghost messenger, Lian Tang bumped into Chang Jiaxi, who was covered with scars. He was chased back by ghost messengers and continued to be punished.

Lian Tang, who had already boarded the ferry, looked at the dimly lit forest in the distance, and said something suspicious in his heart.

"What is Twin Forest?"

The ghost messenger said: "That's a silly legend in the underworld, it's not believable."

Lian Tang's intuition was wrong, and he thought that who else could make Chang Jiaxi so hard to let go of even death and take it on his behalf, this matter must have something to do with him, so he insisted on going there Save people, and go to Twin Forest to explore.

The ghost officer naturally wanted to stop him, and under the entanglement between the two parties, Lian Tang fell into the crossing river unnoticed. The ghosts in the river were full of evil thoughts, but thanks to the ghost's sharp eyesight, he was able to drag him up before he fell into the river. , so that people are not swallowed by those evil spirits.

The ghost messenger was furious, saying that if it wasn't for Yan Jun's order, and seeing that Liantang's soul has Ziwei's fate and celestial destiny, he should not be treated lightly, and he would have been dragged into the purgatory to suffer like that female soul.

Unexpectedly, Lian Tang didn't feel at all afraid of his threats, and instead calmly exchanged terms with the ghost messenger, allowing the other party to have a little time for himself. If he didn't want him, he would just jump into the river. It's not easy to explain to Yan Jun.

Xu Shi's trick was holding the ghost guard under control. Although he was angry, the ghost guard finally agreed, so Lian Tang was able to see the scenery in the forest of twins.

It’s an exaggeration to say that it’s a view. Here are rows of dead trees with strange branches. Occasionally, a few light spots flashed in a trance, and then disappeared immediately, reflecting the rags tied on the trunk, and the branches are jagged in the darkness. , Indescribably decadent and dead.

Seeing that Lian Tang reached out and grabbed a cloth towel to check the words on it, the ghost guard said coldly: "It's just some wandering soul's whimsical imagination based on rumors."

"Twins live and live together, live together and die together..."

Lian Tang read the blurred handwriting softly, and looked back at the ghost messenger suspiciously.

"What rumor is it?"

The ghost messenger didn't want to say anything, but he was afraid that he would be delayed here if he didn't say anything, so he had no choice but to say: "It is said that there are two roots under this tree, one of which can support a soul, if these two roots can grow To become a big tree indicates that the souls of the two people can also live and die together from the same root. No matter what kind of suffering, can they share each other, souls are intertwined, and they will never be separated from life to life... Oh, if there is such a thing in this world, then Souls who have suffered so much in the path of purgatory can be freed, just ask for a good fate to hit the next tree with him, what a joke, these mortals can't do anything because they have such deep obsessions. Reincarnation with peace of mind, a person's fate is determined by God, it is the cause and effect of the previous life, how can it be changed because of a tree? Let alone two people? I have seen through the tricks of these mortals for so many years here. Even if it is hard to separate now, in the end after a long time, after reincarnation, you will still let go, and those who can't let go will become grievances, just like the evil ghost crossing the river, they are self-inflicted, I advise you... ...Lian Tang, what are you doing?!"

I don't know if it's because I'm anxious or because I think that after Liantang, he might be a person in the immortal way, the ghost messengers today are a little more talkative than before, but I just want to persuade a few more words, but I didn't expect to see the person in front of me walk up to one of the withered trees. Next to the tree, one of the fallen trunks was carefully lifted up. After checking that there were indeed double roots under the tree, he dug up the soil on the ground in an attempt to bury the tree back on the ground.

He has no tools, he can only use his hands, and the strength of his soul is extremely weak, but Lian Tang is not afraid, and patiently pulls it with his fingertips bit by bit. Fortunately, the tree is no more than knee-high, thin and pitiful, and he can get it in a while. After that, Lian Tang inspected the appearance of other people's trees again, compared with the many gravels he picked up to form a simple formation, and engraved the horoscopes of the two people's birthdays on two of the stones. The green light in the ghost messenger's eyes burst out in large swaths.

"Liantang, the time has come for you to enter the path of reincarnation. Yan Jun told you to leave quickly. The reincarnation of yin and yang is a trifling matter! If you miss the slightest bit, your fate will be changed. If Yan Jun didn't see you as a good person in your life How can you be presumptuous here!"

Lian Tang was not intimidated by it, he continued calmly: "Change it, let's change it, if the so-called fate can be reversed by this mere half-hour, that would be fine..."

The ghost messenger seemed a little angry: "Then do you think that planting a tree for a while will really change your luck? I think you will be smarter than these obsessed mortals. Let me tell you the truth, Chang Jiaci did a lot of evil in his previous life. The evil energy in the soul is extremely heavy, not to mention the next life, that is, the next life, his life will not be cured in the next few lives, but you are different, your life is precious, and the fate of immortality is very strong. To be involved with him for several lives to the end is just asking for death Lu, besides, it is absurd to talk about this twin tree, no one has ever achieved it, so I am talking too much, one day you will be in the immortal class, and looking back at these things, it is just a joke."

Lian Tang paused, not caring what the ghost messenger said, just staring at the formation beside him, and found that there were four words engraved on the ground - Fuze offering.

"So that's how it is," Lian Tang looked up at the occasional dots of light floating in mid-air, and suddenly realized that these are the blessings of the tree planter in the sun, and twin trees need to be supported by this, but it's a pity that one person's hundred-year blessings are too few. Or maybe, as the ghost messenger said, maybe the person who planted the tree in the previous life was willing, but in the next life he would not want it after having a new experience, so no one has succeeded so far.Thinking of this, Lian Tang laughed, "It doesn't matter if it's a joke or a dead end, if you can make it... No, maybe it won't work for a while, but I will always come back. If you fail in one life, then the next life, and the next life... It can always be done..."

The ghost guard was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then sneered again. Just as he was about to say something more, Lian Tang had already stood up, glanced at the small and withered tree and the motionless formation under the tree, and then Turning his head to look over, his brows and eyes are calm.

"I will beg this to Yan Jun myself, please trouble Brother Guichai, let's go now..."

……

Another stream of light exploded, awakening You Zhen's sinking thoughts. He looked at the huge light tree in front of him that had grown to two people's height, braving dazzling bright colors. He couldn't believe that that idiot had actually grown it?

At that time, I watched all this in the dark and couldn't speak, I just thought it was funny. If I were Youzhen, I wouldn't foolishly exchange my blessings. He would only use this time to strengthen himself, and then directly Take Chang Jiaci back from that annoying reincarnation!

In the end, this idiot was stupid for the first time, but he still remembered it for the second time?Yan Jun really did as he asked, cut off Lian Tang's original excellent fate, and preserved his blessings for the rest of his life, so no matter how Chang Jiaci died, even how Lian Tang died, the third life ...the fourth life...the lives are miserable, and every time he enters the underworld, Lian Tang also remembers that he will come here, turning all the blessings he has not enjoyed in the mortal world into nutrients and pouring them into the roots of the trees.

But in Youzhen's view, what a stupid behavior this is, pinning his own destiny on a hopeless future, it is difficult for Youzhen to understand, so that he completely throws Liantang's move on the back of his soul. the back of the head.

Looking at it now, I realized that the cause of paying for everything that was planted with life and soul did not know when it really blossomed and bears fruit...

In this desolate and dead place, a dead tree was watered day after day until its branches and leaves clung to the souls of two people, never to be separated...

Miraculously, it still happened.

Youzhen stared blankly at the radiance, then looked sideways at Dong Qinghe and the stiff smile on his face, unable to recover for a long time.

Ten generations will restrain each other, ten generations will restrain each other...

But You Zhen originally thought that Lian Tang was suppressing Chang Jiaci even more, one head and one tail, one obedient and one rebellious, but now You Zhen can't tell who is suppressing whom, and who is holding whom back.

It is said that Chang Jiaxi gave everything for Chang Jiaci, but there is one person... who never gives up.

At that moment, You Zhen felt for the first time that he had lost something...
