【Eight Rebirth】

After staying in the village for one night, nothing unusual was found.The two went up the mountain following the trail of the previous large army.The location of the bucket is deep in the mountain.This kind of place becomes darker and darker as you go in, gradually losing sight of the sun, and the singing of birds around you comes and goes, occasionally one or two.

The two of them are no longer surprised by such an environment. After all, this is what they have been doing all the time, so it would be strange to find any good places.There are marks left by the vanguard along the way, and the journey went smoothly.It's not like the current environment, they almost thought they were here to travel.

This time the mark was engraved on a stone. After Xie Yuhua checked and confirmed it, the two walked in the direction indicated by the mark.The blind man inadvertently glanced back, noticed something unusual, and stopped in his tracks.

Left, right, scanned 360 degrees, still not found.He felt very strange, turned his head and glanced at Xie Yuhua.

He, too, had discovered that the marked stone was missing.

They didn't go far, and such a big thing should still be within sight, so how could it be gone... The two looked at each other, and walked back to the place where the stone was just now.

It was very flat, ordinary ground, with no sign of movement or sinking, and it was no different from the surrounding land, which meant that there could not have been a stone here just now.

This is strange, could it be that they were all blindsided just now?Or is it a phantom?It's not surprising that mirages appear here, but there may be a mark on it.Mirages are also conscious?You can pull it down.

Both of them were lost in thought, if the mark here disappeared, where would it appear?By analogy, where was the mark they saw before?They walked all the way and saw about five or six marks. If all of them were not in the original places, then wouldn't they have always been on the wrong path, which was completely different from the big army in front, so they are now far away from fighting. The positional deviation should be as large as Siberia.

This problem looks complicated, but the solution is actually very simple.Since the mark is wrong, then ignore it, go in their own direction, and open up a new path.All the twists and turns before are gone.Instead of trying to find the original path, it is better to believe that you can walk a new path, and all problems will be solved.

Okay, a consensus was reached, and the two continued to move forward in the previous direction.Probably the direction of the bucket depends on the compass to judge.The trees here are too dense to see the sunlight, and it is impossible to distinguish the north, south, east, and west at all.

But there is also a problem that is so important that it is completely unavoidable. The black blind man looked around.Why is the marked stone missing.Maybe it has something to do with that fight, this is a question they must know.

Xie Yuhua was walking ahead with a compass, and after a while, she turned around suddenly, stretched out her hand, and sighed: "This thing is useless." The pointer of the compass turned around. , has no way to distinguish the direction.It seems that there is a strong magnetic interference here.

The blind man withdrew his gaze, drew the black knife from his waist, twirled it in his hand, squatted down and opened a piece of ground.The grass had already grown to the point where it was above the ankles, and the color of the soil was normal, and there was nothing to be seen for a while.Suddenly, the grass and trees moved not far away, and the blind man looked up at Xie Yuhua who was retreating inexplicably.Could it be that there is something behind him?The blind man followed his gaze and found that he was staring at his feet and didn't notice him.What's going on in this state?The blind man frowned, and stretched out his hand to grab at his feet.Caught off guard, Xie Yuhua flew up and kicked him.After being stunned for a moment, he fell down along the person's legs and rolled around in the grass for a few times before stopping.

Xie Yuhua's kick was very hard, which can be seen from the wind passing over the grass.Damn, the black blind man got angry for no reason. When did he suffer such a loss? It was because of his teammate's accidental injury.Taking advantage of the moment when the person closed the move before it was too late to attack, he suddenly got up and rushed towards Jieyuhua's direction.Both of them fell into the grass at once, and Xie Yuhua's knife stabbed towards them suddenly.The blind man reacted faster and held down his hand the moment he swung the knife.

"Xie Yuhua, wake up!"

But the situation still didn't seem to ease, and he could clearly feel that the hand he was holding was still struggling.Xie Yuhua's face was very pale, and her eyes stared at him blankly, as if she had just fallen into an unconscious state of defense.

What the hell is going on!Hei Xiazi suppressed the inexplicable fluctuation in his heart just now, and now it is impossible to beat him, and it is useless to scold him.In short, we must not stay here for long, who knows what else will happen.He seemed to be affected just now, and his mood became so unstable.The blind man lowered his head and approached, his eyes fixed on those lost eyes. "Xie Yuhua, look at me, I'm fine."

Before he could finish speaking, a sudden burst of huge pressure hit him from behind.Sneak attack?The blind man was startled, and quickly grabbed Xie Yuhua and rolled to the side.Fake? !The blind man reacted abruptly.With such a short distance just now, he alone is enough to avoid it, but just now with the flower of understanding language, it is unlikely that he can completely avoid it.And with such a strong force just now, it is impossible that there will be no traces around.Could it be that the oppression just now was just his illusion?The moment he dodged, he swung the knife in his hand, but there was nothing behind him. The blade made a sound in the air, but it didn't stab anything.

Could it be hiding in the grass?This possibility is very high, it may be that there is a person who has been following them, but they have not discovered it.Shoot when you see their vigilance relaxed.The black blind man made up stories in his head.In fact, he also knew that this was completely impossible.It took only a second or two in total, and it was impossible for a human to stop and hide in such a short time.Animals are also impossible. There was no movement just now. What is it... His thoughts were interrupted in the middle of thinking: "Are you trying to crush me to death? Get off of me quickly! Die hard!"

Well, the blind man spread his hands helplessly, and stood up from the person. He seemed to be too engrossed in thinking just now, and he didn't care about the fact that he was still pressing on Xie Yuhua.

"Is this a field battle between us?" Xie Yuhua looked at the grass clippings and mud all over her body, expressing her doubts.

"I haven't even taken off my trousers yet." The blind man sighed. How Yuhua had a convulsion just now, and how he rescued the beautiful woman, everything is in detail.

"I only admit one point of view of yours." Xie Yuhua didn't care about the messy things he just said, "This place can't stay for long, let's go."

"That's it." Hei Xiazi didn't ask any more questions, put his bag on his back, wiped his little black knife and continued walking.

To open up a new path means that all the things left to them by the predecessors are useless.It's been so difficult and dangerous at the beginning, and I don't know what will happen next.Now that we have reached this point, we can only take one step at a time.

Knowing this, my heart is more relaxed.Live by yourself, die by God.The compass has lost its effect, but there are trees nearby, but they grow in different shapes and are sparsely separated.Some trees grow well, while others show signs of withering. These two completely different states unexpectedly appear together at the same time.The black blind man felt a little strange, and looked around, as if the situation was different.He suddenly understood something.

He had been thinking about how many possibilities there would be if the marks kept changing, and how likely they were to find the original Dou. In fact, these were all wrong.The mark has never changed, it has always been in place.It's just that they couldn't see it then for some reason.If the sign is changing, it is impossible for them to see another sign in the next place, and the road will only become more and more wrong, and the more they will deviate from the place they are going.

But no, they still saw the mark where the mark should be, and continued to walk on this as a guide, indicating that they were still heading towards the direction of the bucket, and they would see the mark at the next place where it should be, in other words, If they hadn't looked back then, they wouldn't have known about the disappearance of the mark.Wait, how can they be sure that the previous marks have disappeared?If only this one, how to explain it?

The black blind man understands now.It's not a question of whether you can find it, but a question of which direction you will eventually enter from.It may be different from the previous vanguard, but you can definitely find it.

Aside from the disappearance of the mark, there is another problem: Xie Yuhua.

The abnormal behavior just now, is it a local problem or a personal problem.But he also felt strange pressure at that time.That's most likely a matter of place.

Feng Shui problem?

Hehehe, the blind man laughed three times, how could it be... Then the smile froze.

me, fuck...

Can I go any further?

Going on like this, there is no doubt that there is a narrow escape.

"Xie Yuhua, wake up, wake up!"

Someone was calling him in the mist, but his brain couldn't tell the source of the voice.Just kept calling like this, as if the call had no end, echoing in the huge darkness, like ripples spreading around, hitting the edge and bouncing back slowly.

Xie Yuhua felt that she had woken up and opened her eyes, but she couldn't see where the person who called him was.There is chaos in front of his eyes, mixed with gray and mottled light and shadow, sometimes he is dark, and the light is cast on the opposite side.There is laughter, there is spring, and there are flying flowers all over the sky.It's just that those don't belong to him.He stood opposite and watched.There is a clear dividing line between light and darkness.He is here, the dawn is there.

Gradually, the sun on the opposite side faded and turned into a cloudy and rainy day.The boy stood in the rain with a knife in his hand, with rain and blood on his face, and rain and blood on his feet.The shirt was stained with blood, which was diffused by the rain, like watercolor paint smudged by water, mottled and extremely coquettish.

Xie Yuhua quietly looked at the boy opposite.He wiped off the blood on his face, walked forward with the knife in his hand, walked towards him, and passed by.Xie Yuhua's mouth froze when she opened her mouth slightly.

"do not come."

As the boy left, the sky gradually merged with the darkness where he was.The boy walked step by step, and the original gray was gradually stained black.The dim light image of the broken glass color film is dense and thin, with cracks appearing little by little, and the speed has been slowed down countless times, so that he can even see the picture of the broken glass falling to the ground very clearly. Slowly falling, colliding with the ground, exploding Then, it shattered into countless finer crystals, and finally, it fell to the ground silently, brilliantly like a dying fireworks.

The whole world fell into dead silence.After the light and shadow fell to the ground completely, the world was like the first heavy snow, and the vast expanse was extremely barren.

Xie Yuhua just looked at it and stood there.He didn't look back at the boy who walked away, and he didn't think about getting out of the darkness.

His life is like this.

Xie Yuhua smiled slightly on her expressionless face.

"Xie Yuhua, wake up!" The blind man was rarely anxious.How can people collapse when they are walking all the time?I didn't come across any blood-sucking things that eat people, and my breathing became weaker and weaker.He has heard of some goblins who rely on their beauty to take advantage of the opportunity to absorb human spirits, but this is in the fight, and there are goblins who should be ugly. Besides, with Xie Yuhua's experience, what kind of beauty has never been seen before. , shouldn't be seduced by someone, I really wonder.

The blind man shook the Xie Yuhua in his arms.After the previous accident, they kept going down.The temperature was getting lower and lower, and when Xie Yuhua fell, he thought he was freezing.At this time, there is no heating equipment, and we can only rely on body temperature.There is nothing to be taboo about two big men.He found a relatively warm place and carefully checked the situation of Xie Yuhua.

I have tried pinching people, pinching various acupuncture points, intimidating and threatening, but Xie Yuhua still didn't respond, so I almost gave him artificial respiration.Moreover, Heixiazi also claimed that he was a small stove, so there was no problem with heating or anything, but the person in his arms was getting colder and colder, and his breathing became shallower and shallower. It would not be a problem if this continued.Heixiazi exhaled helplessly, and now he can't care so much, saving people is the most important thing.The black blind man slowly lowered his head, and approached the powder-carved jade face.As he was about to approach, the blind man suddenly turned his head.Xie Yuhua's lips moved very slightly, as if she was saying something, and the blind man listened carefully.

Very short, sleep talking, only a few words.

It's hard for the blind man to say what this means. What Xie Yuhua said is like a nightmare, but it may be true.Father, like son.The blind man probably understood what was hidden behind Xie Yuhua's plain smile.A soul soaked in darkness, gnashing its teeth to death.The days are very difficult, and if you can't bear it, you will die.Maybe tomorrow will pass, maybe there will be no tomorrow.Xie Yuhua's life has never been as calm as it seems on the surface.It's just that he hid all the restless factors, leaving only a calm face.

He has sunk in and there is no one to save him.

If given a choice, who would be willing to degenerate.They are all people who have no choice, so they can only go to the destined final outcome.

The blind man took a deep breath, carried the Xie Yu Hua on his back, and walked up.

There is no way to go any further.If they go any further, both of them will die.

Here is a huge void, separated from one floor to another, with a series of stairs going down, and I don't know where the end is.Like the eighteenth floor leading to hell.As soon as you come in, there is a burst of cold air, and it gets colder as you go down.For some unknown reason, he just walked down with Xie Yuhua.The sound of footsteps swirls and overlaps in the huge space, as if there are more than a dozen people walking together, but it is still very impressive to adapt to this environment.

The things in each layer of the tomb are the same, but also different.Some have coffins, while others have only simple funerary utensils.The environment on each floor is different, and the situation gets worse the further you go down, some of the tombs collapsed, covered in dust, and the porcelain became shards.Like the ruins left after demolition.

I didn’t feel anything when I went down, but now I went up and looked again, and the contrast was even stronger. This fight is really strange. Could it be a family tomb, where the whole family is buried?The blind man didn't bother to bother, he just scanned around, and it was usually what should be in the bucket.He just walked all the way to look at these things, but this floor seems to be different.The blind man saw a corpse.

Still a fresh, modern outfit.The blind man walked over to take a closer look, and he wasn't worried that he would suddenly sit up and cheat the corpse if he hadn't died long ago.It seems to be one of the vanguards that came in before.The death looks a bit miserable, the face is blurred, and the black blind man can't tell which one he is.

Alas, brother, I also know that you are miserable, so you can bless us not to be so miserable, and go out with your life.The black blind man bowed to the people, and lifted the Jieyu flower up and continued to walk up.

It is estimated that the above will encounter such a situation, but why did he not see it before... Besides, there was Xie Yuhua at that time, it is impossible for both of them to be blind, and it is impossible for this brother to have too little sense of existence... ...Heixiazi's brain hole went to a strange place inexplicably.

I don't know if it's really the big brother's blessing, but the journey went smoothly, didn't encounter any strange things, and didn't see any other corpses.Could it be that the big brother really ran out to be their mascot?

As long as nothing happened, the blind man wiped the sweat off his brow, looked up, and his eyes suddenly went dark.

Damn... What did you really say, the black blind man swallowed silently, did he set the flag or open his mouth, did he play like this!Xie Yuhua hasn't woken up yet, he is fighting alone...

Excuse me, run away!

The higher up the tomb gradually became normal, and the things behind it were also thrown away.The blind man slowed down his pace, and sighed when he saw that Xie Yuhua on his back hadn't woken up after going through such a bump.It's already much warmer here than below, and Xie Yuhua's face has also softened a lot, which makes people feel relieved.

From the moment he entered the fight, the black blind man probably understood what it was here, but he had a little luck.It's ridiculous to say that people who risk their lives to gamble still take chances.He didn't tell Xie Yuhua that he was also here to gamble, but unexpectedly he didn't quit halfway, but came in with Xie Yuhua.

If he was the only one, he probably wouldn't be able to come back this time.

This fight is a gossip array.He had this guess when he was outside, but he was sure when he came inside.The ancestors of the Qi family had a lot of research on this, and it was barely useful when it was passed on to him.It's hard to say whether they are at the door of death or the door of shock. According to the current situation, it can only be speculated that these two are the two with a low survival rate.

The blind man sighed.If it was at Jingmen, Xie Yuhua might have encountered something strange. If it was at Death's Gate, maybe they were walking, and a big rock fell from it and they belched.The black blind man subconsciously glanced up, maybe there were no loose stones or traps, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

Nightmare is such a scary thing.The blind man walked out slowly.Maybe living in a dream is really better than reality, without so much pain and entanglement, and without those unbearable past events.Could it be that Xie Yuhua was trapped in the past like this, with no way to turn back?

Xie Yuhua must have suffered a lot, but when he thinks about it now, it is his smile that emerges.Xie Yuhua is a person who is very suitable for laughing, as gentle as spring.Sometimes it's indifferent, sometimes it's a small smile on the corner of the lips, and sometimes it's cold.Why this person can divide laughter into so many different forms is also a very miraculous thing.

It happened to be in his eyes, so he remembered it so clearly.

Maybe that's why they followed him in.Such stubbornness, besides himself, always needs another person to guard it.

I can't accompany him to go this way, but it's good to go this way.

It was night when I climbed out of the tangled knots of an old tree.The moonlight is as bright as water, sprinkled with brilliance.The faint sound of insects rising and falling in the mountains.I have never been aware of time changes in Douli. The time spent in it seems to have passed for decades. It feels so good to breathe fresh air.The blind man lay there resting for a while, then picked up the Xieyuhua on his back and continued walking outside the mountain.

After walking tens of meters, we came to a dry river beach, where under the moonlight there were large beach rocks and hard river mud.The river is wide and seems to be very long.Look up and see no end.The blind man walked down the river for a while, and suddenly saw Shangshui Village they passed by when they came in.It was late at night, and the village had no lights.The brick and tile eaves are shrouded in a thin layer of moonlight, reflecting a faint outline.The black blind man roughly measured the height from the ground, and it should be about a hundred meters away.The place where they are now should be the dry waterfall that the villagers said.

There should be nothing wrong now, the blind man wanted to find a place to rest first, but he seemed to hear the sound of water somewhere.Follow the sound to find it, it is a clear spring flowing down in the valley, the source is a small pool, and the direction of the downstream is the big river where they are.

It seems that this place will become a waterfall again in a decade or so.Heixiazi thought while skewering fish.The fish is caught in the pond, so it should not kill anyone.He found a relatively flat place on the river beach, picked up firewood and started a fire.

Taking the land as the plate and the bucket as the center, this river should now be in the northeast of the Bagua plate, which is the location of the gate of death, so it dried up in just a few years.But now water gradually appeared here again, indicating that the compass was turning, passing through the gate of death, and new vitality began to glow.

No wonder Xie Yuhua said at that time that he only agreed with one point he said, "There is a problem with this place." When he was in Douwai, he encountered a state of distraction and saw something that would not have appeared before.Everything is just an illusion of self-awareness.The same is true of the sneak attack that the blind man thought.The so-called what to be afraid of.At that time, they had already stepped into the range of surprise.

Everything that happened was like a shock.

While Hei Xiazi was biting the smoked fish, Xie Yuhua not far away woke up, her complexion had improved a lot, and she was still a little pale under the moonlight, so she should be fine.He sat quietly leaning against a rock, still adjusting to his new surroundings.

"What did you kill the fish with?" Xie Yuhua looked at him for a long time, and finally asked this question.

"Of course it's my baby." The blind man waved the little black knife in his hand.

"Didn't you chop zongzi before?" With a suspicious tone.

"You still pay attention to these things now? Don't worry, it's been sterilized." The blind man laughed uncontrollably. Seeing that Xie Yuhua was still shivering in his coat, he pointed to his side helplessly, "If you're afraid of the cold, come here."

Xie Yuhua looked up at him, subconsciously tightened the coat on her body, hesitated for a few seconds, moved her body and sat down, but was caught off guard by the embrace of the person next to her, the force was so fierce that he was surprised that he didn't respond .

Xie Yuhua struggled a bit, but Hei Xiazi's strength did not allow him to refuse, "Don't move."

That's it, leaning in his arms, breathing gently.

Xie Yuhua lowered her head and didn't look at him, trembling sometimes.The blind man could clearly feel that he was controlling himself.He also has vulnerable moments, but he just hides them habitually.

The blind man didn't know what Xie Yuhua saw in the bucket, and he didn't have the curiosity to ask.If Xie Yuhua didn't say anything, he wouldn't ask.He pinched his cigarette and told him what he had seen in the pipe.Xie Yuhua listened quietly, and slowly recovered.

that's all.Hei Xiazi briefly described the scene in Dou Li he saw.Xie Yuhua raised her head and said to him: "Do you think it's like a person's heart? The appearance is bright and beautiful, but the more you go inside, the more stench and corruption. That's because everyone has buried their miserable past in it. The more you don't want to The deeper the memories are buried, the deeper I don’t know what it is.”

The blind man froze for a moment, it turned out that it was not fear, but unbearable.He didn't expect Xie Yuhua to describe that place like this.Or maybe what he saw was a portrayal of what he used to be.Xie Yuhua will go down, because she wants to see how much she can withstand the blows of the unbearable past.It's like going through the same pain all over again.He has to carry it to death or life, he is no longer the Xie Yu Hua of the past.

But maybe how hurtful those past events were, and it hasn't changed at all now.

Heixia knew why Xie Yuhua didn't tell him what he saw, but used such a metaphor.He knew that the blind man would understand what he meant.How could it be so easy to say those painful past events.Besides, who can say that you can empathize with yourself? When things happen to you, only you will always know how it feels.

Heixiazi was also glad that Xie Yuhua didn't say that, he couldn't bear it.The deepest love of an adult is not to say I love you blindly, but to tell him about his past and tell that person what kind of life he used to be.Maybe they can only be said to be ordinary friends now, how can they talk about love.Xie Yuhua's heavy memories of the past may only be kept in her heart or burned, or she may meet a similar person, someone who can accompany him far, far away, and tell him about it.Love is the process of two people sharing and supporting each other to move forward.

In fact, people who suffer from pain have long been used to pain, and are not used to making it loud. They just chew silently and become an irrelevant brick on the road of life. The deeper pain forms a scab on the heart, making the heart more indestructible .

In fact, they are already so similar people.

Xie Yuhua asked: Is there anything in this world that can threaten you?

No more.

So, you can't see anything.

In fact, there are, and there were before, but everything has changed, and the important things are either dead or unimportant.In fact, he also saw some things that place wanted him to see, but he didn't care.So nothing works for him.

The opposite of love is not hate, it is indifference, it is neglect.

Is there anything else in this world you care about?

No more.

Then there is nothing to threaten you anymore.You can live freely and freely.

Yeah?fine.

But who knows, it doesn't matter

The mountains at dawn are very cool, with gusts of wind blowing over.The black blind man was lying on a big rock, looking at the remaining stars in the sky, faintly, as if hidden behind the clouds.

Inexplicably, I remembered yesterday's question again.Was it something he was afraid of?It seems that there is really no more.

Ghosts and gods are no match for human hearts.People's hearts are something that cannot be eradicated once, so it will be eradicated a second time.

He would allow himself to live, and what they once wanted was to live, no matter what method they used.

It really doesn't matter anymore, he doesn't care.

What is the fight for?Ah, the blind man closed his eyes and paid back the money.And, make life more interesting.

Even the eyes are almost useless.

Xie Yuhua woke up earlier than him, sitting by the fire to keep warm, still holding half a cigarette that should have been taken out of his pocket in his hand, when he saw him come over, he turned his head for a look, then turned his head to lazily Take a puff of cigarette.

"Is it okay to smoke? Are you afraid of getting lung cancer?" Still a little confused, the blind man yawned.

"Are you qualified to accuse me?" Xie Yuhua threw the remaining half of the cigarette into the fire.

"Waste!" Hei Xiazi took out a cigarette, lit it, and took a puff.Both looked at the sky that had just turned pale, and streaks of white were slowly torn out of the blue-gray.

"After resting, let's go."

"Where are they?" Xie Yuhua stood up.

"Go back and burn more paper money." The smoke diffused out, gradually thinning and dissipating under the sky.

"Oh."

"They all died miserable." The blind man added.

"...Do you deserve a beating?" Xie Yuhua glanced at him.

The backs of the two became smaller and smaller on the rocky beach, gradually becoming a point, and finally they could no longer be seen.The sky became more and more white, and there was a golden gleam as they walked away.
