Jia Mo

All the small fish immediately dispersed, floated into the sky, and flew close to the blades.The dense twilight leaves will cover their fluorescent light, so as not to be discovered by unknown enemies.Qi Yin controls the sword by herself, and no longer rides with Fu Lan, so as not to be unable to react quickly when encountering danger.Everyone counted the charms and dry food on their bodies, Fulan came out in a hurry to chase the girl, and there was nothing in his bag except an iron pot that he took everywhere.Qi Yin also only has a dozen charms here, half a bag of water, a small bag of fried snails with honey and a few pieces of plum ginger.

This small snack of candied fruit couldn't even last a day, and the black cat suddenly had a bitter face.If there is no food in the woods, Fu Lan and Qi Yin can make bigu, but it can only eat bark and gnaw Guanyin soil.

They flew forward, if there were real people, it would be a happy event, at least they could ask one or two questions, what is going on here?That woman, Nvluo, said that things should be squeezed and some should be reserved, but she didn't know what the hell she was planning.

Flying forward for half an hour, Qi Yin whispered to the black cat, "Master Cat, do you know how the gods and witches from all over the world disappeared?"

"This matter is still a mystery," the black cat said, "It is recorded in ancient books that they suddenly disappeared overnight, the witchcraft was lost, and there was a fault, and mortals began to create their own Taoism based on the clues of witchcraft. According to "Hai Nei Nan Jiang Zhi", the last great witch of the Bashan Temple Zhu Wushou practiced forbidden techniques and attracted evil spirits. The evil spirits refused to obey and slaughtered the temple. After that, white mist rose and shrouded Bashan. This is also witchcraft The reason for the sudden interruption, because all the witches who mastered the wuluo secret arts were killed by ghosts overnight."

Qi Yin smacked his tongue, this is probably a common problem of big people, standing too high, his head is full of wind, and he starts to think about some messy crooked ways.

"Wufangshan Yuanyin once guessed that they encountered some kind of natural disaster, such as tsunami, volcanic eruption, and earthquake. When facing these natural disasters, even the most skilled warlocks are powerless." The black cat said again.

After walking for about an hour and a half, Fu Lan said: "Here we are."

Qi Yin stopped his sword and saw corpses piled up in disorder in front of him.They went down to check, turned the body over, and were taken aback.

Those who died here were all witches.

They wore white deer masks, animal fur cloaks, silver collars around their necks, silver skirts and jingling bone ornaments around their waists.Qi Yin turned over a corpse, the corpse's stomach was completely empty, as if it had been torn apart by some wild beast.Lifting off the white deer mask, there was a pale and stiff face underneath.Corpse spots spread on his cheeks, and a pair of empty eyes looked into the sky.The time of death was about seven hours ago, Qi Yin said offended, and pulled off his collar, and there was a crimson twig flower on his chest, it was indeed a witch, it should not be pretended by someone.

Dare these gods and witches have been hiding in the moon mirror for thousands of years?Qi Yin felt that something was wrong, if Wu Yuli had come to this place as Nu Luo said, he should have chopped up these witches and witches, how could they have been kept until now?Qi Yin stood up and walked around. The twelve gods and witches died very strangely. All of them were facing the same direction, facing down, as if they were bowing to the north, and their bodies fell to the ground.

"They are running away." Fu Lan said suddenly.

Qi Yin realized that they were not bowing down, but running away.They all turned away from the temple. Something in the temple was chasing them. They fled to the depths of the forest, but they were finally caught up and all died in an instant.

"Who is chasing them?" Qi Yin asked, "The black-haired monster? The old witch?"

"It's best to be one of them," the black cat poked one person's head with its paw, "otherwise, we have another guy to deal with. But don't be too nervous, don't scare yourself , maybe these gods and witches are fighting among themselves?"

"Infighting won't eat up the internal organs of your companions." Qi Yin's hairs stood on end, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt a headache, "It's strange everywhere, how could they have just died?"

"Have you ever heard of 'Cave Heaven's Blessed Land'?" Black Cat said, "'Extraordinary Elephant Works, with palaces and palaces in clear scenery; secluded quality hidden, with caves in famous mountains.' It is said that there are ten caves in this world and 36 small caves. , 72 blessed places. They are the territories opened up by the gods, and their aura is far superior to the outside world. It is said that a woodcutter entered the mountain and saw two people playing chess. After watching the chess game and returning to the village, he found that hundreds of years had passed. This is Because he strayed into the land of the gods, where the flow of time is different from that of the outside world, some are faster, some are slower, and some don’t even change. According to the old man, the time in the moon mirror is probably nine out of ten It is unchanging, and it is very likely to stay at a certain moment or a certain day. They died long ago, but because time does not flow, their bodies will not rot. The temple is clean and new, not because someone cleans it every day, but They don't change at all."

"In that case, won't we live forever here?" Qi Yin smiled.

"That's right." The black cat yawned, "But let's forget it, now, I only see grass and trees, not even a mouse stuck between the teeth. Let Master Cat live without meat, Master Cat would rather die tomorrow."

"This place is empty, so it's not suitable to stay for a long time." Fu Lan said.

They got up and went into the forest.Walking down the gurgling stream, there are dense white thatch growing on the bank.There is a clump of reeds in the water, and the stream is rushing, splashing and splashing on the smooth big stones.Nvluo said that Wu Yuli's secret was hidden here, and their only clue was the hut in the Liuli Illusion.

I searched around the temple until I reached the shadow of the sun, but I still couldn't find the house.They walked towards the depths of the forest, and there were tree houses sitting on top of huge trees, and there was no one in them.Qi Yin couldn't walk anymore, let alone guard his sword.They took water from a pond and rested for a while.The sun moved over the mountain, and the sunset glow stretched across the sky like red silk.Qi Yin looked up and felt that the sky was on fire, which was very ominous.In front of us, there are shadows of toon trees, and there seems to be a corner of thatched roof.Qi Yin opened his eyes and watched for a while, and he saw a small house hidden in the woods.

It turns out that it is just ahead, and it will be there after a few more steps.Xiaoyu explored the way first, a lonely thatched cottage standing in the quiet forest, it looked like it was about to be haunted.If it wasn't for Fulan's presence, Qi Yin wouldn't go in even if he was beaten to death by himself.

There was no one inside, and the door was unlocked. Fu Lan opened the door, and with a creak, it spread out in the silent forest.Qi Yin's heart trembled, and he looked back to make sure there was nothing following.Entering the house, it really looks like in the illusion. There is a canopy bed covered with a white gauze mosquito net in the corner, and a bronze oil lamp.

"It doesn't seem to have changed, and it's the same as what I saw." Qi Yin looked around, went to the bed and touched the mattress, it was soft and soft, and the pillow was placed under the quilt, as if the master left soon and would come back to sleep soon.The black cat jumped onto the bed and rolled on the bed. It was so exhausted that it simply fell asleep.

Qi Yin knocked on the wall, which was a thin wall of toon wood, and it was impossible to hide people inside, "Brother, the group of people I saw were hiding in the wall, peeping at the doll. Now it seems that they are not hiding in the wall In, but hidden in the void."

No one paid attention to him, Qi Yin turned her head and saw Fu Lan sitting next to the small black lacquered case in the middle, with a red flower rope stretched on her hands.He is turning the flower rope, just like that child, the flower rope is crossed and turned in his hands, the turtle, the swing, the bridge... The pattern and order he turns out are exactly the same as that child.

...Is it a coincidence, Qi Yin was stunned.

"Xiao Yin," Fu Lan said in a daze, "I seem to... know this place."

Qi Yin sat beside him and looked at him worriedly, "Brother, did you think of something?"

"That child...he only knows three tricks, so he only turns three kinds of flower ropes." Fu Lan lowered her eyes, showing a confused look, "He's been here for a long time, he's very boring, and spends most of his time in a daze. He He never sleeps on the bed, only on the bottom of the bed, because when the lights are turned off, he always feels that someone is watching him in the dark. Every day here is the same, even the sunset looks exactly the same. It is very windy at night, and he likes to sit Listen to the leaves on the roof."

His tone was quiet and clear, and for some reason, Qi Yin could hear a kind of utter loneliness.

"Later he got a jade screen flute, he likes it very much, put it..." Fu Lan stood up, patted the underside of the bed, a shadow box stretched out, and there was a black bamboo flute in it.Fu Lan picked up the flute and said: "Here."

He spoke so clearly, as if he had lived here.Qi Yin opened his eyes wide and asked, "Brother, why do you know this? You... can you play the flute?"

"I won't," Fu Lan shook her head, "he will. That person taught him."

"That person? Who?"

"Forgot...don't remember..." Fulan's face became confused again.

Qi Yin felt incredible, and asked: "Brother, did you remember wrongly? You lived here when you were young, and then went out, but you forgot."

Fu Lan frowned and recalled vigorously, "I don't know, I haven't experienced it, but I just remembered it. This memory seems to fly over, like someone else's, like..."

"Past life?" Qi Yin asked.

Fu Lan froze for a moment, then nodded, "En."

Qi Yin propped his chin and thought for a while, "I used to have this feeling sometimes. When I met someone on the road, I always felt like I met someone somewhere, but in fact we had never met before. But then I found out, I saw People with good looks will feel this way.” He laughed, and rubbed Fu Lan’s tightly locked brows, “It’s okay, don’t make it difficult for yourself, just forget it. I bet you must have something to do with the old monster It doesn't matter, let's look for clues and put them together like a case. If we can't put together, it means we haven't found enough clues. According to Nu Luo, the left and right are in the moon mirror, and we'll look for it again."

"Well," Fu Lan stroked the bamboo flute, then looked up at Qi Yin, "I also have a feeling of deja vu to Xiao Yin, as if a long time ago, I was the older brother and you were the younger brother."

"How is it possible, are you taking advantage of me?" Qi Yin flicked his forehead.

"I don't know," Fu Lan poked his cheek, and said honestly, "Maybe because Xiao Yin is pretty."

This guy is really unpredictable, he is said to be dumb, but his mouth is full of honey, and he is said to be smart, but he really lacks a brain.Qi Yin had no choice but to look left and right with a blushing face, and said, "I'm going to sleep for a while, you keep watch first, and replace me in half an hour."

After speaking, he leaned against the edge of the bedpost to rest.Qi Yin closed his eyes, thinking of the child in the illusion.He remembered those pupils, quiet and safe, like a pool of autumn water without waves.He has lived for 18 years, and besides Fulan, he has never seen anyone with such eyes.Could it be that Fu Lan is the secret that Wu Yuli hides here?

Thinking about it, his eyelids were clenched, Qi Yin lowered his head, and fell asleep leaning against the side of the swastika bed.I don't know how long I slept for, and I woke up groggy, and the room was dark with no lights on.Everything is silent, there is not even cicadas and birds singing outside, and the whole forest is lifeless.Master Cat didn't even snore, and Fu Lan didn't make a sound. I don't know if he was on guard outside.Qi Yin's back ached from sleeping, she leaned her hand to the side, and felt a cold and stiff hand.There was a cold war in an instant, and I woke up completely.The room was dark, his eyes widened, and he could vaguely see a dark figure squatting in front of him.

Damn it, the sorcerer cheated on the corpse, and sneaked into the house in the middle of the night!
