The strange story of Huai'an Inn

When Zhu Helan and Guan Chongliu's distorted bodies were hit by the first shock wave of the filthy explosion, the two felt that this time there might be a lot of bad luck, and it was difficult to hold on to it.The majesty and horror of the power blocked between their tightly intertwined wrists and foul-smelling bodies is like a sea of ​​broken banks.But they still held each other's "hands" tightly, grabbed each other's tentacles, and refused to let go even though they felt that the force was about to tear their bodies apart.

Their original plan was to direct the filthy power deeper underground. As long as they could block all directions and leave only one exit, the filthy air should open the channel by itself and drive into the thick rock like an awl.But the power of the dirty explosion is too strong, trying to break through their obstacles arbitrarily.

The crazy force that fundamentally disrupted the order crashed into their bodies, causing the smallest particles that made up their bodies to melt and disintegrate, and they were drawn into the vortex of dirty explosions.The strange thing is that Chong Liu doesn't feel much pain, but more of a weird tearing and squeezing feeling.Countless colors that are difficult to identify and describe in human language exploded in front of his eyes, just like the endless colors contained in the moment when the universe exploded from a seed, shaking his mind and soul.

He could feel that Zhu Helan's spirit was connected with him, and together they looked up at the primordial power of chaos unfolding like a long scroll.They saw the birth of countless stars, and the appearance and disappearance of countless species that began to live by coincidence in distant nebulae.See the ultimate nothingness hidden in the impenetrable darkness of the universe, hidden from all sight.

Nothingness is not empty.Their huge, time- and space-bound bodies cover everything, and their countless eyes look down on the stars empty and mercilessly.

Guan Chongliu's consciousness was frozen at that moment, just like a tiny reptile, suddenly realized that it was seen by a huge creature that was much higher than it, and it would never be able to understand.

Chaotic images exploded in his mind.Fission micros, sticky wires, algae swimming in sea water, swollen bubbles that are constantly replicating and proliferating, maggots crawling out of rotten white flesh, clusters of eyeballs growing on bones...these are endless Sequenced, random, seemingly meaningless pictures that seemed to be rooted deep in the consciousness of all living beings made him begin to forget his name and who he was.

There is another consciousness connected with him, they are tightly entangled, but gradually lost together, gradually falling into madness.They are being swallowed by that ancient power, pulling them to another world, a reverse world.

The consciousness that exists in the world dominated by all Taos there cannot be formed, they will be scattered and reborn.Either as an individual, or as part of some other, larger entity.

Suddenly, Chong Liu woke up.

He opened his eyes, but saw Zhu Helan standing opposite him, equally dazed and confused.

There is no distortion, no explosion, even Yuantang is a dry pit... They stood in the huge and empty mountainside, surrounded by dead silence.

Suddenly, there was something wriggling under their feet, and the two lowered their heads, only to see that the rock that was supposed to be hard was flowing like a paste, flowing past their feet.The ground bulges and bulges upwards, and gradually solidifies into the shape of a person, with a head, body, and five sense organs appearing.

In the long-haired gown, every strand of hair and every fold of clothes can be seen clearly. On the handsome face, a pair of almond-shaped eyes are made of stone, but they seem to reveal some deep and soft light.

A stalk in Chong Liu's throat, "Master!"

Mr. Gou Chen's stone-like, pupilless eyes looked at him and Zhu Helan with unspeakable sadness.

"Chongliu, I can only send you here as a teacher."

Chong Liu wanted to move forward, but every time he took a step, the earth moved back a little.No matter how he steps, he is just running in place.

"Master, why are you here?"

Zhu Helan reached out and grabbed Chong Liu's arm, and said in a low voice, "This is your master's consciousness."

Master's consciousness?How could they suddenly appear in Master's consciousness?Those chaotic colors, pictures, and countless memories from the stars just now... were they all dreams?

Where do you start a dream?Where are they?

Mr. Gou Chen said, "Chong Liu, 50 years ago, on Qiongji Island, I made a deal with a god. I used the power of the book of Qiongji to close the door of non-return, but I must Sacrifice all of me to make a work. Including my body, my spirit, my time and my whole existence itself, will be injected into this work as auxiliary materials.

As you grow up and become more and more human, I will become weaker and weaker.My body will be completely dissolved by the filth, merge into the eternal nothingness, and go to the world where the god is.But this is exactly what I want, no need to feel sorry for the teacher. "

Although Gou Chen was speaking, the voice did not come from the stone statue, but echoed in the endless void in all directions.Confusion rose in Chong Liu's heart, and he asked quickly, "I don't understand what you mean, why do you become weak when I grow up? Where are you going?"

"My mission is to give you a human body and experience, to guide and protect you until you are strong enough. But now that you have grown so big, the mission of being a teacher has come to an end." Gou Chen The gentleman sighed softly, "As a teacher, I will do this for you in the end. How to go in the future is up to you."

one last thing...

Chong Liu vaguely guessed what this matter referred to.

He shook his head vigorously, tears overflowing his eyes, "Master... don't go! I still don't understand anything!"

Mr. Gou Chen's stone statue began to melt like wax, his face gradually became distorted, and the corners of his eyes drooped, as if he was crying.Mr. Gou Chen's last words in this world came from the void: "One day, if you really want to know the truth, if you want to know your own origin, go to Qiongji Island."

............................................................

The moment the filth exploded, the entire underground cave was swallowed by a dazzling flash of light.The loud sound that seemed to be able to pierce the eardrum was accompanied by dizzy bleeding, and the survivors were powerless to hide among the falling and collapsing rocks.

Seeing that the entire mountainside is about to collapse, everyone will be buried here.But at this moment, the ground under his feet suddenly became thinner, as if he had changed from solid and dense rock to a mucus-like thing in an instant, but it was not as hot as magma.

Before everyone could react, their entire bodies had already sunk into it.But the expected feeling of suffocation did not appear, they fell briefly, and then fell to the soft grass.

Yuanchu lay on the ground, still in shock, unable to react to what happened for a while.

what happened?

He watched a yellow wild flower standing in front of him swaying in the wind, but his memory still stayed in the dungeon that had never been entered by sunlight.

The sun shines on the top of the head and the skin, so gentle and warm.He never knew that sunshine is such a beautiful and precious thing.He raised his head and found that Wusheng Daoist was lying not far away, Xu Hanke, Liu Sheng, and many officers and soldiers who had fainted from fright were also scattered nearby.There is a hole with flat edges on the ground more than ten steps away from him. It seems that the ground chinchilla has also come out, but because it is afraid of the sun, it has already burrowed into the ground.

What about Guan Zhongliu and Zhu Helan?

He hurriedly got up from the ground, and found that he was standing on a hillside, and the blue sea could be seen in the distance.

The body that was instantly warmed by the sun sank into the cold water again.

The ground suddenly trembled like ripples, accompanied by loud rumbling noises billowing from the depths of the earth, as if there were ancient evil beasts hissing and roaring in the center of the earth.He raised his head, only to see that in the far south, on the bank of the endlessly spreading sea, the mountains and the earth were split apart, the raging sea set off huge waves, and a mysterious pillar of heaven rose straight up into the sky.

At first glance, it was an extremely hot and scorching beam of light.But its light is very strange, as if sucked from all things in the world.When this beam of light pierced through the sky and the earth, the originally scorching sunlight lost its color, and everything in the mountains and rivers was in chaos and darkness.

When the beam of light disappeared, the earth suddenly began to collapse from the seaside.The sea water poured down, and the violent waves hit the collapsed mountains and land, like a scene of doomsday.

The entire dungeon collapsed.

Xu Hanke lay on the ground, staring blankly at the momentum of the collapse quickly approaching them, but barely stopped a hundred feet in front of them.Then in front of them, a strange scene appeared on the entire south coast.

The air seemed to be cut into fragments of different densities, and all the scenery was broken.In the area where the dungeon spreads, the water that stretches from the coast to the sea quickly deteriorates. The seawater forms pieces of translucent material, which is also very viscous, floating with a layer of greasy, constantly changing dirty colors.This sticky feeling spread into the air, rolling like tentacles, but did not continue to expand the area.

The dirty explosion is under control...

But what about those two people? Yuanchu stared blankly at the strange and gorgeous scene in front of him, feeling empty in his heart.He had known Guan Chongliu and Zhu Helan not long ago, but they had lived and died together, and they were friends.

But now...

He heard Xu Hanke calling Liu Sheng, and when he turned around, he saw Liu Sheng waking up.The comatose officers and soldiers also began to move, and began to wake up.

Master is still bound by his chains and shows no signs of awakening.

He can't stop...he still has to find a way to save Master...

Yuanchu wiped his eyes with his sleeve, bent down, and clumsily carried Master on his back.

One of the heads of the Da Luo faction was controlled by Tianguren's sorcery... If such a word gets out, the entire Da Luo faction may be doomed.He couldn't go to Beijing to find Master Mengku, so the only thing he could think of now was to go to Zilu Mountain to seek help from Daoist Qi Yao.

............................................................

His body was soaked in sea water.

The soft, deep, boundless sea, his hometown, his destination...

But there is something wrong.His body seemed to be small, drifting, unsteady.

Suddenly, someone grabbed his waist, and a force pulled him, lifting him out of the sea water.Then, someone slapped him in the face.

"Liuer! Wake up! Liuer!"

Chong Liu felt a pressure on his stomach, and suddenly a salty smell came back from his esophagus.He lay down on the ground with a wow, and spat out the seawater he had poured into his stomach, and coughed up a few pieces of seaweed.

Zhu Helan breathed a sigh of relief, and kept patting him on the back.After Wang Chongliu had almost vomited, he hugged him tightly.

"Great...great...we're all fine..."

Chong Liu sank into the shopkeeper's arms in a daze, raised his absent-minded eyes, but saw a space in the distance that was divided and completely corroded by filth.

The last memory came roaring back.

Master finally saved them.

Not just them, but everyone in the entire southern cities.During the years of slow distortion, the master has already merged with the entire land and mountains on the south bank. With his last bit of human consciousness, he manipulated the land to absorb the power of the evil explosion.

Chong Liu's eye sockets were wet.Tears mixed with the fresh sea water on the cheeks, the same fishy and salty taste.

Zhu Helan hugged his arm tightly, and sat quietly on the beach with him, looking at the viscous and surging sea that filled the sunken earth in the distance.
