under one roof

52

The pattern doesn't look like it's been carved delicately, it's full of rough edges, shaped like flames, and some of the lines in the middle are covered by snowflakes.There is only a small piece of snow at the entrance of the cave, but there are no guards around it, and there are no footprints.Yang Jian thought to himself, this retreat is clean, and he doesn't worry about anyone breaking in without authorization.But yes, everyone here should have been brainwashed, how could there be any accidents?

He didn't dare to pay too much attention, he only roughly confirmed the location and the surrounding situation, and continued with the work at hand.

It took another day to do this, Yang Jian and Yu Chen went back one after another, the injury on Yu Chen's hand couldn't heal, and he was freezing in the heavy snow again, he couldn't even hold the hammer, and he didn't feel his fingers drooping after work .He sat in the room in a daze, and then asked Yang Jian, "I won't just be useless like this?"

"No." Yang Jian said and put Yu Chen's hand on his lap, he would simply bandage it, and there was really no other way, he could only comfort Yu Chen and said, "It will be fine."

"Yang Jian." Yu Chen said, "You have ruined my work, and now I may not be able to eat, what should I do in the future?"

Yang Jian looked up at Yu Chen slightly.

"How about..." Yu Chen had an idea, "You can take me in."

Yang Jian said lightly, "Where shall I take you?"

Yes, where are you going?One of them is in the sky and the other is in the ground, and the gap between them is almost catching up with the cross-species.Yu Chen chuckled, and said, "I'm just joking, Yang Jian, you still don't know how to tease."

There was the sound of snow trampling outside, Yang Jian only took one look, then let go of Yu Chen's hand and walked outside.Yu Chen put his palms up on the table and looked outside through the window. It turned out that the second girl was passing by, and Yang Jian stopped her.Yu Chen thought, this place is so remote, what is there for the second girl to pass by at night?Come and see men are more or less the same.

Sure enough, the two of them chatted outside. Hua Qianyuexia was almost meaningless, but there was a snowy scene, which was a bit poetic.It's a pity that Yu Chen couldn't move his hands, otherwise he would hold his face and taste it carefully.Yu Chen felt that Yang Jian was good at pretending sometimes, and when we first met, he acted like a dog, otherwise he wouldn't have been so blunt and posted it.Later, I stopped pretending and lost my temper with him at every turn, ignoring him, or only instructing him to do things.In the past two days of being a laborer for others, Yang Jian has treated him a little better, but who knows if he is used to practice his skills?

Yang Jian smiled nicely at the second girl, just like he smiled at himself at that time, Yu Chen knew that he was an idiot, no wonder Yang Jian had too much, but he was just envious and jealous.Yu Chen felt that he was funny enough, so he just played this little inner drama when he had nothing to do, and he didn't dare to say anything when he faced Yang Jian directly.He was always worried about pretending to be a fool to ask for some benefits. He knew that he was not qualified, and he was afraid that Yang Jian would really annoy him.

After circling these strange thoughts in his mind for a while, Yang Jian came back. He waved in front of Yu Chen's eyes and said, "Why are you in a daze?"

"It's a brain supplement." Yu Chen replied simply.

"Oh?" Yang Jian asked with a smile, "What do you think?"

Yu Chen said: "It's crazy that we fought on the bed for [-] rounds, and your big dick made my fucking ass bloom."

Yang Jian couldn't help laughing even deeper, and said, "Why am I so good?"

"Would you like to try?" Yu Chen asked back.

It's a pity that Yang Jian didn't have a chance to answer him, and someone threw something outside the door.Yang Jian opened the door and took back a small bag.Yu Chen asked curiously: "What is this?"

Yang Jian said: "I sacrificed my appearance and asked the second girl for some medicine, and I stretched out my hand."

Yu Chen spread those rotten hands obediently, and said, "What did you tell her?"

"Just some nonsense."

"It's a lie... oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh! Take it easy! Are you trying to kill me?"

"Hold on, when will it be?" Yang Jian said, "But don't you find it strange?"

"What's strange?" Yu Chen asked.

"Ordinary cults will preach that if you believe in their teachings, you will be immune to all poisons, and you don't need to take medicine to see a doctor." Yang Jian said, "But there is medicine here, and it can give you this kind of person who makes no difference between death and death. Don't you think it's weird?"

Yu Chen said: "Maybe other people's teachings are different?"

Yang Jian said: "I found a place today, it should be the place where the so-called leader retreats."

"Where?"

"Facing the gate, there is a flame symbol on it."

"Flame?" Yu Chen frowned and said, "Don't the stones here also look like they are on fire? But they extinguished as soon as they were smashed open. It's very strange, why use this kind of stone to make a door. No, no, Why is there such a stone here?"

"I don't know." Yang Jian said, "Maybe it's because of this kind of stone that they chose the base here."

Yu Chen asked: "Tomorrow is the day when the leader will leave the customs, what shall we do?"

Yang Jian shrugged: "Responsiveness."

The next day they went out earlier than before, and it was still dark. Yang Jian thought it was because of the deep winter, so torches were lit everywhere outside.But after they had worked for a long time, the sky still hadn't turned bright, which made Yang Jian murmur in his heart.He calculated the time in his mind, it should be at least noon now, is there anyone who can reverse the time?He looked around, it seemed that there were more people than in the previous two days, and everyone seemed to be going on a long journey, busy but swept away the dead air before.

He looked at the cave from a distance, it was the same as yesterday.

It was estimated that the time would be around the afternoon, when everyone stopped working, and the stone gate was basically built, and the fence was removed one after another, and the whole picture was revealed.It was not bright this day, but it was far from pitch black, and everywhere was faintly red, and the stone gate against which it was set was also faintly red.

From now on, everyone still has their own things to do, no one cares about Yang Jian and Yu Chen, the two are very conspicuous on the open flat ground.

"What are they doing?" Yu Chen asked.

"Maybe...go to the happy place they talked about." Yang Jian guessed.

He didn't want to stay with Yu Chen in such a conspicuous place, but when he was about to leave, he heard the second girl's voice.The second girl was still dressed in white, shining faintly under the mixed red and black night sky.Her hair wasn't braided like before, but was all loose. It was black and long, and the ends of her hair covered her back.Even if it was loose like this, her hair was never messy, and there were hair ornaments on both sides of her temples, reflecting a firelight.

"Where are you going?" Her voice was flat, but against the backdrop of the several big men following behind, it seemed rather sinister.

"Isn't the work done?" Yang Jian said, "I'll take him back to rest."

The second girl waved her hand and said, "Brother is going out to celebrate tonight, so don't go back." As soon as she finished speaking, she stretched out her hand towards Yang Jian, as if she was only inviting him.This is really a difficult problem. The two sides stood like this, and Yang Jian couldn't figure out what the second girl meant.He turned his head to look at Yu Chen, and Yu Chen was also looking at him, and then he touched his back.Only then did Yang Jian take a step forward, took the second girl's hand, and said with a smile: "In this case, it is better to be respectful than to follow orders."

The second girl took Yang Jian's hand and left, she only reached Yang Jian's arm, they looked petite and cute standing together.Yu Chen felt frustrated, he was pushed a step by the big man at the side, and almost fell to the ground, the man said to him: "Don't pretend to be mean! Otherwise, you will feel better!"

A person came from a distance, it was Li Lingyuan, he seemed to be very busy, but he didn't know why he came here.He saw Yu Chen in the crowd, frowned and walked forward quickly, asking, "What's wrong with this man?"

"I don't know, the second girl told me to watch."

"What are you looking at?" Li Lingyuan said, "The time is almost up, why not let him fend for himself."

The second girl didn't take Yang Jian too far, and Yang Jian didn't ask any questions along the way, but the second girl said first: "I think you probably have a lot of questions?"

Yang Jian said, "Why don't you tell me what you want to answer first?"

"I know you are not an ordinary person." The second girl said frankly, "but so what? You don't seem to be able to do anything special. As soon as I saw you...I liked your face, so I kept it here , As for the little friend you brought with you, I don't want to worry too much, anyway, after tonight, everyone will not see each other."

"Tonight?" Yang Jian said, "It seems that something big is going to happen."

"It's a big event." The second girl said, "We have been preparing for several years, and now we are finally going to finish it."

"you?"

The second girl stopped, smiled at Yang Jian, and said, "We are probably just a bunch of useless poor people in this world."

"how to say?"

"Look at those people outside." The second girl said, "They all have their own sufferings, including me... If the eldest brother hadn't saved us, we might have all become lonely ghosts." She He didn't go into details about what happened to those people. Yang Jian only knew Li Lingyuan.

"He promised us a bright and happy future, and tonight it will come true." The second girl said, "Shouldn't this be a big day worth celebrating?"

"What kind of person is he?" Yang Jian asked.

The second girl replied: "Good man."

Yang Jian stopped asking questions.

Most of the stories in the world are like this. Only endless suffering can make people fall into confusion and hesitation.This world does not need gods, but when disaster strikes, gods are needed.It's not for salvation, but for people's spiritual thoughts to have something to rely on, and a motivation to barely support themselves to live.Maybe you have nowhere to go, you are not understood, and no one can help you, but no matter how bad it is, there are still gods who hold their heads high?

And for them, whatever gives them hope, no matter whether it is a human being, a god, a ghost or a demon, will probably become a bright light in the endless darkness.

There is no concept of time in the night, surrounded by mountains and mountains, the scarlet night sky seen when looking up is particularly strange.Yang Jian didn't know what method they used, but what he knew was that by doing this, a completely independent space should be created, the outside didn't know what kind of world was inside, and the inside didn't need to know anything about the outside.

He calculated the passage of time bit by bit in his mind, and suddenly became very nervous.What kind of scene Xianshengzhenjun has never seen, and he will feel hesitant about the situation so far.

"Let's go." The second girl took Yang Jian's hand, "Let's go to welcome elder brother together."

At some point, a high platform was erected on the square, and people gathered under the high platform, each holding a torch in their hands, illuminating the entire canyon as if it were daytime.Although there were many of them, they were silent, only the sound of burning flames.There was a man standing on the stage, he was all ordinary, if it weren't for the respectful and adoring eyes of the people below, he would really be an ordinary middle-aged man who disappeared in the sea of ​​people.

The second girl pulled Yang Jian to stand at the front, but Yang Jian tried to find Yu Chen's presence in the crowd.

"Looking for your little friend?" The second girl asked in a low voice.

"No." Yang Jian said, "I just want to see such a big scene."

"There will be bigger ones." The second girl sneered.

The man on the stage was a little hunched, he cleared his throat, and said loudly: "My brothers and sisters! I have been in retreat for three days and have received the oracle! We have spent several years casting this door to happiness with our own hands. It is It will be opened to us today! We have endured all the oppression and suffering of this world, but these will end, the long night will end, and we will have eternal life on the way to the sanctuary!" He said the incantation , the people below seemed to be in a carnival, holding up their torches and shouting together with him.

Yu Chen, who was on the edge of the crowd, got goosebumps from the shock of this group of demonized people. He had only seen so-called cults in history books, and they were too far away from him.He has never suffered any major setbacks, and he has never complained about this boring life. He doesn't believe in ghosts and monsters. There are many existences different from him, such as these people in front of him.

The man on the stage opened his arms up and closed them a few times as if he was doing it, and finally his finger landed on the small cave not far away.

"Go! My brothers and sisters!" he shouted, as if in a final mobilization. "A new life awaits us!"

The crowd shouted loudly, and threw away the torches in their hands. Most of the houses here were made of wood, and they burned quickly, and the smoke filled the sky.People didn't seem to care about this at all, and they walked into the cave in an orderly manner.Yang Jian couldn't help frowning, they said that the stone gate was the road to happiness, why did they squeeze into that small cave?Seeing the fire, he couldn't help but feel nervous. Do they want to burn everything completely?

There was also light from the entrance of the cave, and shouts began to come from inside, but no one came out, and the people behind were still walking in.The flame totem above the cave entrance turned red, and something similar to magma began to flow out from that totem, spreading continuously on the stone wall.Yang Jian was shocked, grabbed the second girl and said, "They are fucking!"

The second girl had an inexplicable expression on her face and said, "No, it's relief."

The man on the stage still had his arms outstretched, and the clouds in the sky were slowly entangled. Suddenly, a thunderbolt struck, and the man gasped and urged, "Everyone, go! Go!"

There was a crowd of people, and everyone swarmed into the small cave.Yu Chen was also among them, Li Lingyuan pulled him and shouted: "Hurry up!"

"I...I don't want to..." Yu Chen refused.

"In this world, do you feel happy?" Li Lingyuan scolded, "Isn't it lingering? If we go there, we won't have the pain we have now!"

Yu Chen gritted his teeth and said: "You have been deceived! You are committing suicide!" He grabbed Li Lingyuan and shouted, "Do you feel pain? But what did you do? What did you do for your family? This The world has never been fair! And what about you? You are just escaping! You put all your hopes on others! But there has never been a savior in this world! There is no fairy emperor! All the suffering ...All the grief...we need to face it by ourselves! Everything depends on ourselves, do you understand!"

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Li Lingyuan slapped Yu Chen angrily, "I'm leaving, you can do whatever you want!"

"No! I'm going to die!" Yu Chen hugged Li Lingyuan's arm and didn't let go. They were all pushed and pushed by the crowd. Even if he wanted to hold Li Lingyuan back, he couldn't hold back the flow of the crowd, so they were all pushed in together. .

Yang Jian was very anxious, he found Yu Chen in the crowd, and was caught by the second girl just as he was about to take a step.He couldn't have imagined that a female class would have such great strength, and when he looked back, he saw a spell stuck on his arm.The second girl moved her lips and muttered something, and Yang Jian knelt down on the ground with a "thump" as if he had been discouraged.

"You!" Yang Jian felt that his body was as heavy as a thousand pieces of gold, and he couldn't get up with his hands on the ground. He gritted his teeth and continued, "I won't let you go..."

The second girl smiled and said: "Let's talk about it when we have a chance." After saying that, she left Yang Jian and went to help her elder brother on the stage.

The dark clouds in the sky gathered more and more, the thunder was deafening, and the wind suddenly blew up, the second girl's hair was blown messy, and the fire became bigger and bigger, and it was almost burning to the platform.The second girl asked: "Brother, today...why are there clouds?"

"Changing fate against the sky will inevitably lead to heresy." The man said, "We have to do it as soon as possible."

"Ok!"

The fire burned to the crowd and caused riots. The burned people cried and shouted, but the people in front turned a deaf ear to it.Yu Chen was pushed forward by these lunatics who looked like zombies. He grabbed Li Lingyuan and shouted: "No! We can't go in! Xiaoyuan! Let's go!"

Li Lingyuan was unmoved, but instead pulled Yu Chen inside.The wound on Yu Chen's palm was never healed before, the flesh was ripped apart from the pulling like this, and the blood flowed down Li Lingyuan's arm.But Yu Chen didn't care about the pain anymore, he was dying, so he still cared about this little injury?

After all, they couldn't resist the flow of people. Yu Chen was pushed to the entrance of the cave. He felt that the temperature inside was extremely high, and he cried out heartbreakingly. , directly turned into a handful of ashes after burning through.But the stone wall inside was burning red, which was terrifying.Such a scene was like purgatory in Yu Chen's eyes, he kept shouting: "Yang Jian!"

At this moment, Yang Jian is also in deep danger. He doesn't know what the function of the spell on his body is, and he is kneeling on the ground, unable to move. What scares him the most is that the mana in his body has already disappeared after the bracelet broke last time. It has nowhere to go, but this talisman is still continuously absorbing the original divine power in his body to supply normal operation.His forehead was sweating, and he began to feel the pain of something flowing out of his body.

The pain is not like the pain that human beings can feel. Every inch of flesh and blood in Yang Jian is constantly tearing at each other, and the muscles and bones are sawing back and forth like jagged teeth.His brain also began to appear almost suffocated - this body is the only thing he can rely on now, if it is destroyed, he does not know what abyss and hell he will fall into.

"what--!"

Yang Jian yelled in pain, his fingers sank into the ground, grabbing all the gravel.He can't just be ruined here, all this is just the beginning, if it is not stopped in time, the world will never have peace!And there's...

"Yang Jian!"

That voice came through the crowd, there was no sound of fire, wind or even screams and cries, only such a name entered Yang Jian's paralyzed brain.It was like a pebble dropped into a peaceful lake, although the pebble was small, it caused ripples.

The water wave became bigger and bigger, and turned into a huge wave.

Yang Jian raised his head "teng", his chest glowed, and the light shone into his eyes, turning blood red.A small hurricane formed around him, and all the rocks and dust flew up around him. He was like a burning flame, rising into the air with the hurricane.The tattered clothes were completely burned by the flames, and the ashes slowly gathered against his body, and a black gold armor was actually cast, and the edges even reflected scarlet dark light!

The second girl and the man were amazed by Yang Jian's change. The man freed his hand to deal with Yang Jian, but was stabbed by a three-pointed two-edged knife and backed away repeatedly.The blade is icy cold, piercing into the ground like torn paper!

Xiansheng Zhenjun floated in midair, like a superhero saving the doomsday, his forehead had a slender totem texture, and the red-gold light was incomparable.His eyes were closed tightly, and he slowly opened them a little bit, with the eyelids still drooping, only to hear him sneer, and whispered: "I promised him."

Both eyes opened, blood red.

"Take your life!"
