After turning off the lights, Qi Yin lay down on the bed and began to think about things in the Liuli Illusion.Serene darkness enveloped him, the sound of jade outside the house was rattled by the wind, and dogs barked indistinctly from the distant wilderness.Fulan slept next to him, and their room was only separated by a thin fir board.After thinking for a long time without a clue, her thoughts began to wander, Qi Yin turned over and faced the board wall, wondering if Fu Lan was also facing the wall sideways.He didn't want to sleep in the same bed with his brother, it was too embarrassing.Before entering the house, he talked to Fu Lan about room allocation, this guy felt aggrieved, thinking he had done something wrong.

But he still couldn't help wanting to help Lan, especially when everything was quiet and he was alone.Qi Yin closed her eyes and heard her breathing.

Wait, Qi Yin suddenly opened his eyes, and there was a second breath in the room.

This breath was always in sync with his, so he didn't notice it.But just now when he was concentrating on meditation, the second sound of breathing was revealed in the darkness, like a whale salamander buried under the sea surfaced.

The sound of breathing... right above his head!

Qi Yin raised her head abruptly, and saw a pair of curved blue eyes hanging above her head.Nuluo smiled sweetly, revealing a mouthful of sharp fangs.Just as Qi Yin was about to yell, she covered his mouth and nose with a soft hand, and the sweet and cloying fragrance enveloped him, Nuluo laughed softly in his ear, "My dear boy, sleep well, sister-in-law is not Will take your Yuanyang."

At the last moment of losing consciousness, Qi Yin thought, if he did it all over again, he would not be hypocritical, and slept with his brother every night until dawn.

He was woken up by the water, the sun was shining on his eyelids, and his eyes were white.Just sitting up, he staggered under his body, and a few stones were rubbed by his hand, and fell down with a crackling sound.When he heard the sound of distant stones falling to the ground, he opened his eyes and was startled. He was sitting hundreds of feet in the air, with double arched eaves and huge smooth marble beneath him. The ground was far away, surrounded by a faint layer In the mist, it seems like an abyss.

Looking far away, Qi Yin froze for a moment.The mist receded in the sun, and the miracle appeared before his eyes like a mirage in the mist.The old big toon in the mountains has a brown trunk, and the part in contact with the soil is old and gray. At first glance, you may think it is a rough rock.Occasionally embracing the thick ancient trees, the dead giant tree vines spiral upward like a serpent, each of which is as thick as a palace beam and column, connected between the trees, and the ends gradually become soft, weaving into a decayed tree Room.Huge demon corpses were buried under the thick soil, revealing pale skulls and black eye holes. They were former invaders who tried to obtain the treasures in the Bashan Temple and finally died here.

"'In ancient times, there was a big toon tree, whose spring was eight thousand years old, and autumn was eight thousand years old'," Nv Luo sat on the beam, combing her long black hair, "It is said that the toon tree on the edge of Bashan Mountain was born from the gods. It has been there since birth, you can see their trunks are thicker than your waist. But most of them are dead, some are almost petrified. Ever since the White Deer God left Bashan, everything in Bashan has died.”

Qi Yin turned her head and saw a huge full moon-shaped disc.He remembered this disk, he had seen it in Wu Yuli's painting, when the white deer stood on top of it, like a ghost from the depths of time.Now he saw the real thing, it was far bigger than he imagined, Qi Yin stood in front of it, like a puppet.The whole disc is as smooth as a mirror, without any patterns in relief, and without any traces of wind erosion.It feels icy and cool to the touch, but I can't tell what the texture is, like delicate white jade, or warm white porcelain.Qi Yin suddenly remembered that the statue of the White Deer in the God's Tomb was also made of this kind of stone.

"We don't have much time, Mr. Lang will arrive in a moment." Speaking of Fulan, Nvluo rubbed her wrist, "What an idiot, to put such a heavy hand on a delicate girl like me It's not easy for you to bring him out, he almost lost all his limbs." She looked at the white mist in the distance, "That lunatic Wu Yuli is also on his way, let's make a long story short."

Hearing this, Qi Yin slowly came to his senses, and said in shock: "You are not Wu Yuli's eyes..."

"Smart." Nvluo smiled while shaking her legs, "You are the flesh body chosen by Wu Yuli. Before you sacrifice yourself, he wants to ensure your safety. In fact, from the time you went to Jiangnan and then to southern Xinjiang, you have been They are all under his surveillance. It took a lot of effort for my sister-in-law to snatch you out for a while. I wanted to use the child's corpse to lure you to Bashan together. Who made your fat cat so suspicious? If you are willing to let me go with you, I won't have to make such a big effort."

"You buried that child's corpse!" No wonder the child's corpse appeared under his brother's house without anyone noticing. It turned out that this dead fox was responsible for it.Qi Yin said depressedly: "Sister, who are you? The gods have to show their identity, otherwise how do I know whether to ask for a child or marriage?"

"Don't worry, listen to me first," Nvluo knocked on the disc and made a crisp sound, "I believe you have already discovered that Wu Yuli, that old guy can't be killed. Every time you kill him, he can always replace you." Another body is reborn. Generally speaking, it is just a mortal or a demon. After death, the body rots, and the soul leaves the body and merges into the heavens. The memory of the soul dissipates, and reincarnation is reincarnated. This is what you mortals call reincarnation. Everything has In the final journey, once entering reincarnation, the memory is lost, the body changes, the previous person dies, and the next person is a completely different person from the memory to the physical body. But Wu Yuli used a method to preserve the memory and replace the physical body, In a sense, he jumped out of reincarnation. At the same time, because of this method, even if the blood of the gods is dripped between his eyebrows, he cannot be killed."

"Yes, I know about it," Qi Yin clasped his hands in front of his chest, "Could it be that you have a way to kill him?"

"I'm sorry, no." Nuluo spread her hands, "Did you meet many people in the Glazed Illusion? One of them is my master. The place where my master is often accompanied by time and space gaps, you passed through the gap unintentionally, Saw them."

"Oh, and then what?"

"We investigated the secret of Wu Yuli's immortality, but there has been no real progress. Until very accidentally, we discovered that there is a hidden place in the Bashan Temple. The subordinates entered the temple, but without exception, they all died halfway. If you look into the white mist, half of the corpses lying there are my companions. The last team that died here was Wufang Mountain Sect Twelve Taoist priests led by Lan."

"Are you fooling me? Senior Zong Lan belongs to you?" Qi Yin was stunned.He remembered the name Zong Lan, his bald and fat cheap master once said that Wufang Mountain gathered twelve Taoist priests and secretly sneaked into the Bashan Temple.Wufang used Xiaoshijing to contact them, but all of them were lost in the white mist, and none of them came out.It wasn't until Qi Yin entered the tomb of the gods that he realized that the so-called white mist was the servants of the gods and witches after their death. They would kill all the spirits who entered the forbidden land of the gods without permission.

"You can say that." Nvluo said.

"Come on, big sister," Qi Yin twitched the corners of her mouth, "I have to make a draft first if you're fooling me, and I'm not my brother, he will believe you even if you say that men can have children."

Nvluo was not in a hurry, she blinked her eyes, "My brother, you have seen the servant of the god in the tomb of the god, right?"

"I've seen it, why?"

"Fifty years ago, after Zong Lan's 50 people entered Bashan, one consciousness disappeared from the Xiaoshi Mirror every day, but Zong Lan told Wufang that they were safe and sound, and there were not a few of them. Until the twelve Later, Zong Lan found that his companion was stiff, as if he was no longer alive. Shortly thereafter, his own consciousness also disappeared from the mirror, and since then, these 12 people have disappeared without a trace, as if they had disappeared from the world." Nvluo said, "But brother , you clearly know that the god servants used the wuluo secret method to kill people. These 12 people are so weird, don't you have any doubts?"

"What do you mean?" Qi Yin asked in surprise, "Could it be... Zong Lan is lying?"

"That's right," Nvluo spread her hands and said, "Actually, they took back their consciousness and cut off the connection with Wufang Mountain."

"Why did they do this?" Qi Yin asked.

"Because they are ours!"

"Who are you... who are you?"

Nuluo stood up from the beam and looked down at him, "For thousands of years, the name of my lord has long been obliterated in the vastness of the clouds. The stars have changed, the sea has changed, and in today's mortal world, no one can call out their names anymore." .However, you can call them a common name.” Nvluo said word by word, “That is—God.”

There was silence in the vast wind and smoke, and the two looked at each other, staring blankly.Nvluo tilted her neck in doubt, and said: "A normal person should 'wow—' when they hear this, right? Why didn't you react at all?" She propped her chin and looked at him, "Could it be that you were scared stupid? I saw the white deer in the tomb of the gods, I thought you would be calmer."

"It's nothing..." Qi Yin said with difficulty, "I just feel that God looks different from what I imagined."

It turned out that it was all his eyes.

"It's nothing unusual," Nvluo said. "If you have read the Three Tombs and Five Classics, you will know that the gods Nuwa Fuxi all have a human head and a snake body, with scales all over their bodies. The great god Gao Yang worshiped in Chu is the one of nine heads. The ghost car bird, the flames burn wherever it passes. The Kua’e’s height is a hundred feet high, almost as high as the sky. The white deer god you have seen is really a white deer with long horns and flowers. His real name It's Jiang Yang, and no one knows about it now. In the ancient song spread in the deep mountains of southern Xinjiang, he is the ancestor of monsters. It is said that he cut off the antlers, chopped them into nine pieces, and sprinkled them into the nine mountains of southern Xinjiang. Thousands of monsters are born on the ground."

"Oh..." The corners of Qi Yin's mouth twitched, "That's why your great god showed his spirit in front of Senior Zong Lan, announcing, 'Heaven will send you a great mission, so human beings must first work hard on their minds, exhaust their muscles and bones, and starve their bodies. '. I have a 'big job' here, you take it, after you finish it, you will be on the list of gods and become the door gods of every household. This little song with you as the protagonist has been written, and Grandpa Land will give it to you Give way. Gao is not happy, is not happy? So the old Zong Lan cried bitterly, willing to go through fire and water for the great god, and finally died heroically." Qi Yin covered his face and said, "Do I look like a fool? The thing with the body of a snake appeared in front of me, and my first reaction was not to cast my body and shout the Great God, but to shout 'there is a monster' and run away, big sister!"

"Ah, God's method is a little simpler than what you said." Nvluo shrugged, "They used 'whispering'."

"'Whispers'?"

"Yes, you can understand it as a kind of spell. God is the embodiment of heaven, earth, mountains, rivers and seas. Every word they say can become a spell. When they whisper in your ears, you will obey their will and practice them Have you ever heard of the "enlightenment"? This is a way of imparting wisdom. Just touch your head and you will understand the past and the future. You will be happy and suddenly enlightened. God's "whispers" are similar to Because of this, your consciousness will be changed by the gods, and you will become their most loyal servant." Nu Luo said.

"So God told me to eat shit, will I eat shit?"

"Well, crude as your example is, it does happen."

"Isn't this bewitched?" Qi Yin called out.

"Think about the bright side, brother, you are the messenger of the gods! It's so honorable to say it!" Nuluo squinted her eyes and smiled, "As you can see in the glazed illusion, my god accidentally passed through the gap in time and space , spying into a hut in the forest. We believe that the child has a great connection with Wu Yuli's secret, and you must have discovered that Lang Jun looks very similar to that child. We guess that Wu Yuli's secret is probably hidden In the heavily restricted place in Bashan, after all, it is the only place where the gods are difficult to spy on. If I were Wu Yuli, I would definitely hide my secret there."

"Where is that place?"

"It's this big mirror," Nuluo patted Yuanpan, "We call it 'Bashan Moon Mirror', it's made of lapis lazuli jade, a specialty in southern Xinjiang, it's ridiculously expensive, and it's as small as a fingernail One hundred acres of fertile land can be exchanged in the black market. Thousands of years ago when the temple was established, Southern Xinjiang used [-] slaves to pull the gears and ropes and hang the moon mirror on the top of the temple. It is facing the moon Heaven, the gods and witches in southern Xinjiang believe that when the moon is full, the moon mirror can reflect the scene of the moon and the sky, and they can use this to connect with the White Deer God."

"So, don't you want me to go in?" Qi Yin wailed.

"That's right, it's you!" Nuluo said, "Don't worry, my gods respect you very much, and they don't intend to trick you with 'whispers'. Don't you feel very honored and excited?"

"It's an honor to your grandpa. So many seniors died when they went in. I'm a fake Taoist priest with half a bucket of water, how can I still survive?"

"Don't worry, Mr. Dumb Boy will go in with you." Nvluo smiled at him, wiping her red lips without nodding.Under the bright sky, her smile was a bit meaningful, "After all, even if your little brother is smashed to pieces, he will definitely let you live, won't he?"
