critical

At the moment of the explosion, Yan Ji's consciousness was withdrawn, scattered into the sky filled with stars floating in the void.In front of my eyes are not only the brilliant fire, but also the dim stars.I am in the sky, also in the ground, in the wind, in the water... in the vast gap, in the moment of the long time.

The power of the Nine Cauldrons carried her to fly freely, traveling through the past and the present, and tearing her apart... A voice with a slight smile sighed——

"It's God's will, it's really destined."

Yan Ji's consciousness was concentrated, and he felt that this voice was so familiar, as if he had heard it since he was a child.

"Forged your body with the breath of soil, you have half the body of an ancestor, and you can bear the power of the nine tripods. However, between heaven and earth, everything that is borrowed must be repaid. If you use this power for a long time, you will lose your mind over time. Fading the skin and turning the bones into an immortal and indestructible chaotic thing. Please exercise restraint."

"It has the power to open it, but it's also simple. As for the others, wait for me to go back."

"Huh? Don't remember? If I didn't use the soil to save your life, I wouldn't have slept on the bottom of the river for so long. I don't know if you are unlucky to meet me or I am unlucky to meet you. Maybe we are each other. Lucky Star."

The voice became weaker and weaker, but he laughed to himself.

"I can't hold on here anymore, you can give me some strength, Xiao Yanji."

The sound disappeared, and Yan Ji felt that Jiu Ding's power suddenly restrained, as if someone was holding the steering wheel of a rampaging car and leading it to gallop in one direction.

Yan Ji suddenly opened his eyes.

Yang Shuhui screamed excitedly: "Fuck!"

Yan Ji heard the sound and looked, and broke out in a cold sweat: Countless Humu branches were entwined and woven to form a golden ball cage, which wrapped Yang Shuhui and himself in it, covering it tightly.

At this moment, a sharp Humu branch pierced Yan Ji's heart, and after being cut off by Yang Shuhui with a dagger, the Humu branch immediately wrapped around his wrist, and several golden vines wrapped around Yang Shuhui's legs took the opportunity to crawl And up.

"Be careful!" Yan Ji exclaimed.

Suddenly, the gorgeous dome made of golden branches kept shaking, as if there was a huge force constantly hitting outside, making the golden cage trembling and unstable.

Even so, Yang Shuhui's situation is not optimistic.Every time the dagger was pierced, the golden vines splashed out golden juice, and when they fell on the ground, new vines would grow, and when they fell on him, the piece of flesh gradually became transparent.

Yang Shuhui was shocked and angry: "Bullshit, get out!"

His appearance at this moment is indescribable, like a 3D modeled character, one-third of the pixel blocks are randomly lost on the body, and if this continues, the whole person will disappear.

"Brother Yang!" Yan Ji reached out to grab it anxiously, only to find that he was nailed to the ground by three golden humm branches.

No.

Yan Ji instantly felt that something was wrong, and Hum was absorbing nutrition from himself.

In the container in the Qiwu Mountain, Diver used baby embryos to cultivate Humuzhi.It's just that although the Humu branches there are treacherous and powerful, even if the four plants are added together, they are far from being so overwhelming, without such vigorous and domineering power.

In the blink of an eye, Yan Ji realized——

All the land in the world, black soil, red soil and loess, can't grow plants like Hum that can touch the laws of space and time, unless the legendary... Xi Soil!

Let Humu go on like this, not to mention that Yang Shuhui's life is in danger, he will be sucked dry by it.

With a flash of thought in his mind, Yan Ji did not hesitate to grab a golden branch that was stuck on his thigh, and pulled it away with all his might!

"hiss!"

The pain of skin and flesh was as expected, Yan Ji's gums were bloodshot, and his arm muscles trembled uncontrollably.Without a trace of hesitation, before Humu could react, Yan Ji yanked off the branches on his shoulders.

Hot blood splashed all over his cheeks, and his hot face trembled, with bright red blood and pale face, Yan Ji cracked a big smile: "I'm sorry, Yan Ji."

After finishing speaking, Yan Ji put his hands on the ground, gritted his teeth and raised his shoulders slightly.

The rhizome of the Humu branch, with countless soft white hairs, pierced into the skin of Yan Ji's back, entangled deeply in the flesh and bones.The broken root tendrils may tear off the flesh, or drip golden red blood drops, while the rest are still tightly attached, biting Yan Ji tightly.

Rolling in cold sweat, with ferocious veins, Yan Ji arched his back abruptly!

There was the sound of flesh being torn apart, the pain was so painful, Yan Ji fell to the ground sideways, and Humu, who covered the sky and the sun, swayed and trembled suddenly. The carnival before death was only a flick of a finger, and then the golden dome began to wither into ashes, and the cage gradually disintegrated.

Yang Shuhui's hands and feet went limp, and he fell on his back, gasping for breath.

Outside the golden cage, the monster with horns took a step back, let go of its bloody fist, stared blankly at the girl on the ground, and disappeared into the depths of the rain with heavy steps.

The humm branches that covered the sky turned into ashes and drifted away in the wind, revealing the dark clouded sky, acid and birds hovered among the lightning, screaming shrilly.

The heavy rain fell and hit Yan Ji's face.

Her eyelashes fluttered slightly, she opened her clear eyes, and stumbled to her feet from the muddy ground.Yang Shuhui was lying in a puddle of weeds, his light blue uniform was in tatters, his body was covered in purple and red bruises, and his face was half mud and half blood.

Yan Ji's nose was sour: "Brother Yang, I'm sorry."

Yang Shuhui rolled up his hair, exposing his left ear: "Speak louder, I can't hear you."

"Brother Yang! I'm sorry!"

"It's more or less the same." Yang Shuhui seemed very annoyed, he grinned and forced the corners of his mouth to rise, "Okay, forgive you."

Just as Yan Ji was about to laugh, his feet swayed suddenly and he nearly fell down.

She hurriedly looked up, only to see a figure in the continuous rainstorm, with a weak white light all over her body, it was Lu Yan.

Behind Lu Yan is the towering tower of the base station, hidden in the bleak wind and rain, like a sharp knife standing between the sky and the earth.The antenna on the spire pointed straight at the sky like a gun, and the dark clouds above were as thick as an ink dragon rolling, as if something was brewing, and black debris fell from time to time.

Lu Yan's voice pierced through the rainstorm: "Yan Ji, why! Why!"

Yan Ji felt ashamed: "I'm sorry."

Lu Yan smiled sadly: "I'm sorry? You really feel sorry for me, and it won't be like this now! After so many years... so many years, I finally waited for this opportunity, why, tell me why! I have never been sorry to you!"

Lu Yan's words hit Yan Ji's heart like a thousand weights, like a knife and an axe.

Yan Ji walked towards Lu Yan, with every step he took, his heart beat stronger.The rain washed away the blood, and the tiny wounds began to heal. Her heart was burning, and she persisted every minute and every second.

"I also want to know why. What did I do wrong? To live so hard, grandpa, mother, teacher... They are all so good, why, why. But I can't help it, Lu Yan, I can't help it, really, We are all too miserable, I can't bear it, I can't bear to have thousands of us more."

Lu Yan laughed maniacally: "Yes, you can't help it, if Yan Ji is not dead, how could you exist!"

Yan Ji faltered, then quickened his pace: "I didn't come to argue with you. Where is Yan Deng?"

Lu Yan's face gradually became depressed: "I wish I never met her."

I do not regret.Since Yan Ji gave different answers in his heart, he was surprised: "Lu Yan!"

There seems to be something invisible in the void, which is rapidly devouring Lu Yan's body, and his spirit is also sluggish. His eyelids are slowly closed, and the scene in front of him is blurred: lightning strikes frequently in the sky, and a slender and tall figure walks between the light and the dark .

"Lu Yan, get out of the way."

Lu Yan looked at Yan Ji with a calm expression, but the white light on his body suddenly became brighter, colliding with Yan Ji's fist if there was any substance.As soon as Lu Yan fell seven or eight meters, he fell to the foot of the iron tower. The white light covering his body weakened a bit, but the abnormality on his body did not slow down.

"Ahem, it's too late. By the time I send you back, the sacrifice has already been completed." Lu Yan lay on the ground, half of his cheeks had disappeared, "I promised God, how can I go back on my word?"

Just as Yan Ji was about to speak, a golden lightning flashed down in the thick ink rolling void above the spire, instantly piercing through the iron tower of the base station.There seemed to be a figure hanging in the middle of the iron tower, before Yan Ji could see it clearly, his feet trembled.

In just an instant, black abysses were torn from the ground, and the brown soil clods surged like huge waves. Yan Ji stepped back again and again, looking up——

The iron tower of the base station rises from the ground, 50 meters long, with a sharp top and a wide bottom, with vertical and horizontal steel bars.At this moment, the iron tower hangs high in the air, and the whole body is shimmering with golden light, like a scepter of a god!

Yan Deng was trapped in the tower, appearing and disappearing from time to time.And what fell from the void above was some black debris, but corpses of strange beasts.

The iron tower of the base station hanging high in the sky suddenly shot out several golden lightning lights.The lightning and light intertwined and twisted into one strand, shooting down at Yan Ji!Just as Yan Ji stood firm, she caught off guard and raised her hand to block it, and the electric light sank into her body along the palm of her hand.

"Pounding... Pounding..." Yan Ji's heart contracted violently, and the red gold texture emerged from her chest and spread up along the slender neck.

"Pound! Pound! Pound!" Accompanied by the sound of a strong heartbeat, sparks burst out from the eternal darkness, rising and magnifying little by little, and then tens of thousands of sparks spewed out, embellishing the vast and boundless universe.

"Pound! Pound! Pound!" The molten lava surged on the blood-red stars, like beating hearts.Thunder and lightning, torrential rain and wind, gradually cooled down over the long years, turning into a rusty iron ball.

"Pound! Pound! Pound!" In the fuzzy picture spread by time, there is a light smoke, a molecule, a spore, a touch of green bud, a swimming fish... The dawn and afterglow are intertwined, and creation and destruction coexist.

Time freezes for a moment, passing eternity and moment.Yan Ji relaxed his brows, raised his hand and pulled off the hair tie, and stroked back the broken bangs that were sticking to his forehead.

Lightning flew across the sky, illuminating her scarred face and clear eyes.

The mountains and rivers that rob fire are still beautiful.

As if sensing a threat, the high-rise iron tower crashed down, and the antenna on the top stabbed like a thunderbolt.

Yan Ji moved his fingers back and forth, and tied the ponytail.

Yan Ji's hands are slender and flexible, with thin calluses on the pads and palms of the fingers, leaving traces of managing life.It was this ordinary girl's hand that easily blocked the god's angry blow.

The lightning silver dragon wandered away, carrying Humu's power, the iron tower like a tall building, and the steel antenna like a needle of Dinghai, but Yan Ji raised his hand to keep him away from half a meter away, even with the power of God, he couldn't get any closer.

The red gold texture on Yan Ji's skin stretched, faintly shining.

During the stalemate, suddenly a section of steel pipe antenna emerged from the back of Yan Ji's hand.Immediately after, three or four steel bars pierced Yan Ji's newly healed back.In an instant, God Humu poked holes all over her body.

Yan Ji's face remained normal, and he didn't feel any pain at all.The steel pipes and steel bars appropriated by God Humu at a certain moment and at a certain moment are real objects, which should have penetrated Yan Ji's body, but at this moment they are like flowers in a mirror and the moon in water.

The power of time and space rift controlled by God Humu is useless to Jiuding, which can seal the passage between the two worlds.

"Sorry, I don't have time to play with you." As soon as Yan Ji spoke, he jumped onto the antenna, stepped on a steel pipe as thick as a bucket, and climbed up to the base station iron tower.

Stepping on the steel bars, Yan Ji rushed towards Yan Deng with swift steps.

"Yan Deng!" Yan Ji leaned over, "Give me your hand! Quick!"

Yan Deng was shrouded in white light, trapped in the vertical and horizontal steel bars, the only movable left hand was resting on the steel plate, the middle finger, ring finger, and little finger were slightly bent, and the index finger was pointing on the steel plate, as if he was still sketching a second ago.

Yan Ji saw that Yan Deng's eyes were closed tightly, his face was as pale as paper, and he felt very worried. He immediately lowered his head and wanted to get in to pull her, but suddenly there was a strange scream above his head, and a strong wind hit him.

"—Boom."

There was a slight gunshot.

Yan Ji moved sideways, and a giant leopard-printed vulture fell from above his head. Its head had sharp horns, and it looked weird and fierce.The giant eagle was shot in the stomach, with a bloody hole the size of a watermelon, flapping its wings, stumbled between the steel bars of the iron tower, and fell into the rice field.

The smog-blue Lincoln sedan blended in with the rainy night. Boss Zhao Das Zhao, who was lying on the roof in a black raincoat, pulled the trigger and kept shooting: "It turned out to be hunting, and the money was too much."

The place where the ink clouds rolled in the sky gradually turned white, as if the sky was clear after the rain, and the sun was shining through the clouds.

Yan Ji frowned and looked at it, and suddenly felt like falling into an ice cave: a small skylight suddenly opened on the dome of the sky where the rain was pouring day and night.

No, it's a loophole...

The sky is leaking!

There was a hole in the sky, and there were cliffs and monsters swarming over the hole!

"Dengdeng..." Yan Ji knew in his heart that these things died as soon as they came on, and fell off like debris, it must be the credit of Yan Deng.

To tell the truth, Yan Ji already realized that the situation was serious, and it was not the safety of a city or a country.The world and human beings are all on her shoulders in an instant!

At the time of life and death, there is no room for thinking about the future and love for children, Yan Ji knelt down, put his palm on the back of Yan Deng's left hand, and prayed in his heart to Jiuding to fulfill the duty of sealing.

With the influx of the power of "opening", the cauldron in Yan Ji's heart instantly awoke, and the half-body body of the ancestors cast with the breath of soil could not bear the overwhelming power that swallowed the sky and destroyed the earth. Yan Ji's eyes were lit with gold, and his consciousness was shattered. Like a little bit of starlight, riding the iron tower like a flying sword, rushing to the sky, piercing the sky!

The iron tower densely covered with red gold texture is like a golden nail, and the golden nail pierces into the hole in the sky, just like the Nuwa patching the sky back then.

A circle of golden light swayed away, and wherever it passed, the scenery was as beautiful as the moon.

Yan Ji felt his body shake, and was immediately grabbed tightly by someone.She opened her eyes and saw Yan Deng staring at her, as if returning to the moment when they first met: the thin light of gold powder flowing on her cold white skin was a kind of noble brilliance.

But now, there is deep concern in those faint bright black eyes.

"Stand still."

Yan Ji came back to his senses in a trance, looked down, and saw that he was stepping on a steel bar.The two of them were standing at the half-waist of the iron tower of the base station, at least 30 meters above the ground, and it was difficult to survive the fall.

She hurriedly stood firm and grabbed hold of it, feeling dizzy for a moment, looked at Yan Deng, and looked at the sky: "How could it be...why the day...it's been a night?"

The bright moon is like a cloud disk, and its clear light shines on the world.

Yan Ji blinked, looked down at his tattered clothes, and stared blankly at Yan Deng: "I had a dream."

Yan Deng smiled slightly: "I woke up from the dream, let's go down first and go home."

Yan Ji was still in a daze: "So, is this the end?"

Yan Deng replied: "That's right, there is no safflower to award honors, and there is no chief to greet."

Yan Ji laughed: "That's not what I meant."

The two got off the iron tower and walked slowly along the muddy field path one after the other.The leaves of the crops made a rustling sound, and many small insects sang along. The night wind directed the orchestra, and the fireflies who came from Qiwu Mountain danced, and they met the little wild flowers.

Yan Ji stopped in his tracks and called out, "Dengdeng."

Yan Deng turned to look at her: "Huh?"

King Yan Ji looked around, hesitatingly said: "You, don't you think, don't you think it's strange?"

Yan Deng raised his wrist, and the round dial refracted a smear of moonlight: "It's not surprising, Humu and Jiuding both have authority over time and space. Well, going back in time for a few hours is really a terrifying power."

Yan Ji clenched her hands: "I, I, I'm not." She patted her forehead: "I mean! Don't you wonder me? Don't you wonder why I forget you? Have you ever thought...thought, I might……"

Seeing that she was having a hard time speaking, Yan Deng took up the words: "Maybe it's not Yan Ji?"

Yan Ji bit her lower lip.

Yan Deng turned and walked in front of her: "Speak, listen while I'm still interested."

"..."

Yan Ji stared at the mud under his feet: "I'm not Yan Ji, she's dead.

"..."

"..."

"..."

The long obsession made Yan Ji uneasy, she lowered her head and said in self-defeating, "I'm sorry, I don't know how this happened. After you disappeared, Yan Ji has been looking for you. We, the sluice from the sheep farm you Remember? 12 years ago before the river was filled, the sluice bridge was very long..."

"I should have known it a long time ago. I dreamed about my childhood several times before and thought I remembered it. In fact, there has been something wrong. I look at myself and you in the dream, just like an adult looks at a child."

"I don't know if I should tell you. I'm afraid you want to go back to when you were 13 years old. I'm afraid you miss Yan Ji who went to school with you, took exams, and drove you home by bicycle..."

"I haven't wiped the blackboard for you, I haven't run 800 meters with you, I haven't heard you talk about the test paper, I don't have the book cover you wrapped, I don't have the Pikachu you gave me, I don't have the memory of growing up with you, I... Not your little dragon."

"Pfft." Yan Deng couldn't hold back his laughter, seeing Yan Ji looking over with tears in his eyes, he quickly withdrew his smile, hooked her neck and pulled her closer to kiss her.

"I was also very scared, so I had no choice but to turn into a dragon and catch the princess and go home."
