Shimmer Forest

Uncle Wu never thought that this silly boy who was always flustered could be so calm at critical moments.Maybe it's because of his stupidity and his single-mindedness that he can stop looking forward and backward, like someone without any worries, and firmly believe that he can be with that person forever.

And this silly boy who has been protected by him as a child has become his spiritual support when he is most vulnerable.Uncle Wu shook his hand forcefully, and his thoughts gradually became clear.He stared into the distance, and slowly said: "You... also know that the Su family has a mission?"

Wu Hao thought for a while, remembered some things he heard from Su Jingran, and then nodded.

"There used to be a legend circulating here. A long time ago, the village was surrounded by great resentment. The land here was barren, the sky and the earth were dark, and no grass grew. People born in the village will endure hunger and pain all their lives here, and they will never be able to go out."

"One day, a person in a village suddenly said that he had received the will of the gods, saying that the village became like this because the ancestors angered the gods. This is the curse of the gods. People offered sacrifices to the mountain gods. Later, a young man in the village offered himself as a sacrifice, went into the mountains alone, and never came back.”

"And it is incredible that after that, the fog that had been covering the village dissipated, and the grass in the village also sprouted. The forest became full of vitality, and people could finally reclaim the wasteland without suffering from hunger."

"Sacrifice?" Wu Hao repeated the word, as if he was confirming something, his eyes showed a trace of panic: "Then... a bookworm... Could it be...?"

Uncle Wu's eyes darkened, and he didn't answer.

Wu Hao just paused, then stood up, turned around and walked outside the house.

"Where are you going?" Uncle Wu came back to his senses, quickly grabbed his arm, and asked in a little panic.

"Of course I went to bring the nerd back." Wu Hao turned around and looked at him, with a tone of course, but his eyes were full of determination.

"How did you bring him back?" The child's single tendon made him angry and amused, and he couldn't help asking: "Do you know where he is? Can you beat the mountain god?"

"Then how do you know that Su Jin is really a sacrifice of the mountain god?" Wu Hao retorted unceremoniously: "Legends are legends after all, no one knows or has searched for the truth, why should I give up Su Jin just because of a rumor?" ?”

"Even if it's true, you..." After a pause, Wu Hao clenched his fists and continued, "Can you really use the peace he bought with his freedom or life, and live with peace of mind?"

Uncle Wu lowered his head and fell silent.How could he be at ease.He tried to stop Su Jingran and Su Jin more than once, but that person pushed his hand away violently every time.The other party's attitude of obviously refusing to be approached by others made him unconsciously believe the rumor and what was recorded in the ancient books.

Why, he never thought about, to really explore the truth of the matter, to confirm the authenticity of the matter?

Uncle Wu stood up, and when he looked at Wu Hao again, his eyes were firm and clear.

"I will go with you."

-------------------------------------

Probably Wu Hao's thoughts were so strong that Su Jin could see their actions in his dream.

Su Jin wanted to stop these two people, but he could only watch silently from a very far away place, unable to change anything.

He woke up helplessly and anxiously, and the mountain god was sitting on the edge of the bed, drinking tea and looking at him indifferently: "Why, did you dream about your little lover?"

Su Jin was used to his sudden intrusion, and slowly supported himself to get up, raising the corners of his lips evilly: "Why, are you jealous?"

"...You are getting more and more courageous." The mountain god put the teacup aside, his slightly narrowed eyes were full of danger: "Think I really dare not touch you?"

"Do you think I will be afraid?" The anxiety in the dream continued, making him feel terrible at the moment: "Since I followed you here, I have already made up my mind, and it is obvious that you have been procrastinating What, why are you so reluctant to part with me?"

"You—" Mountain God was aroused by the obvious provocative words, and he pushed him back to the bed, and clamped his wrist: "Do you really don't want to stay by my side?"

"I don't want to." Su Jin no longer had any fear, and stared at him coldly: "I don't think about it for a second."

"Okay!" The mountain god's body trembled slightly due to the atmosphere, and he pinched Su Jin's hand even harder.He has been guarding for so long, and after waiting for so long, this person still cannot change his mind, and would rather sacrifice himself to protect the people in those villages.He was almost mad with jealousy: "What a waste of my time, I would have had enough of you if I knew it!"

He forcibly tore off Su Jin's clothes, turned him over, turned his back to himself, then pressed forward, roughly grabbed his hair, and forced him to raise his head.

Su Jin cooperated obediently without any struggle.He only prayed that the sacrificial ceremony could be completed as soon as possible before those two people found him.

The room suddenly shook, like an earthquake, and there were crackling sounds and dust flying.The mountain god was startled, let go of his hands and got off the bed, looking around vigilantly.

The trembling room slowly calmed down, as quiet as if nothing had happened.

A slight tearing sound came from nowhere, and he suddenly looked towards the source of the sound, with a murderous look in his eyes.

"Who?"

An unnerving silence lasted for a few seconds, and a blue light flashed quickly.The room was cut with huge gaps like a piece of cloth.

Holding the dagger in his hand, Su Jingran slowly walked out from the gap, his body covered in scars.

"Father?" The astonishment was beyond words, Su Jin stood up suddenly, his eyes widened in disbelief, thinking that he was hallucinating.

"Hey, my good son." Su greeted him calmly, but his gaze was as sharp as a Rakshasa in an instant: "You dare to drug your father, are you really tired of life?"

"Why did you come here?" Su Jin obviously didn't listen to his words, and ran over in panic: "Go back quickly!"

"Okay, that's the end of the touching father-son meeting." The mountain god rudely pushed him back on the bed, then turned his head and looked at Su Jingran coldly: "You came here to spoil my good deed again, you really don't understand What a charming father-in-law."

"Oh, I can't afford to be the father-in-law of the Mountain God." Su Jingran licked the wound on his wrist that was still bleeding, and the suppressed anger in his eyes gradually turned into a murderous intent: "Don't be shameless, who would take your precious son? Marry you pervert?"

"Hahaha, it's interesting." The mountain god didn't get angry, and laughed heartily. The evil laughter was very cautious: "It's not easy for you to find this place, so I'll play with you."

"Wait, Lord Mountain God, father..." Su Jin hurriedly wanted to stop him, and desperately rushed forward to hug the Mountain God, trying to persuade him.

"Can't you wait so long?" The mountain god didn't intend to listen to him, so he put his arms around his waist and pressed a kiss on his lips: "I'll arrest my father-in-law later and watch our bridal chamber, Then--"

Before the words fell, a sharp sword energy came from his head.The mountain god stretched out his right hand indifferently, and a golden knife melted in his hand, easily catching the attack.

"Oh, my father-in-law is really scary—" Smiling and looking back at Su Jingran, who was already overflowing with murderous aura, the mountain god pushed Su Jin away, held his long sword tightly and ran towards him: "What if I hurt my important sacrifice?" manage?"

Suddenly there was a violent sound of weapons colliding in the room. Su Jingran held a dagger in one arm to block his attack. When he raised his head, his eyes were full of killing pleasure: "I won't hurt my precious son, it's rude guy."

After finishing speaking, he used his arms to push the mountain god out.

Unexpectedly, he could respond to his fierce offensive so easily, and turned his defense into an offensive. The mountain god was shocked and took a step back, and soon stood firm, looking at him with a little surprise: "As expected of the legendary man who can kill gods!" The sword still has some power."

"Thank you for the compliment." After saying these four words without emotion, Su Jingran didn't intend to give him a chance to breathe, so he jumped up and stabbed him with a dagger.

And the mountain god showed a weird smile, and before he landed, he turned into smoke and disappeared.

Su Jing was startled, just as he landed and stood firmly, his neck was pressed against something cold.Then came a voice colder than a long sword: "The game is over."

At such a close distance, Su Jingran could even feel the other party's breath.In just an instant, he quickly lowered his body, slipped under the long sword, and swung the dagger backwards.The mountain god couldn't dodge in time, his chest was covered with long scars, and blood beads flew out in a whirl, spraying onto Su Jingran's face.

"It's still too early to end." With a smug smile, Su Jingran licked the blood from his lips, his snake-like eyes were full of provocation: "Why, you can't avoid an attack of this level .Did your easy life degrade your strength?"

"Hey, interesting." The smell of blood made the mountain god lose his mind, thick black mist gushed out of his eyes, his palms became like dry branches, and long nails grew out, faintly glowing purple: "Originally I just want to play for fun - it seems that I can't take it seriously."

Before the words finished, the person had already rushed in front of Su Jingran, and Su Jingran was not inferior, and quickly caught the attack.The movements of the two people were so fast that it was difficult to catch, the flickering swords and swords dazzled people, and the sound of objects breaking and weapons colliding could be heard from time to time in the room.Dust was flying everywhere, blocking the sight of the two of them.But they can still distinguish each other's position by breath.

After more than a dozen rounds, Su Jingran's physical strength was gradually exhausted, and he fell into a slight disadvantage.The mountain god seized the opportunity, and while his body was dull, he slashed from behind, scarring the opponent's back.

Su Jingran gasped in pain. His body, which had been sluggish from fighting for a long time, became even more tired at this moment.He subconsciously stretched out his hand to cover the wound, turned his head and stared at the mountain god fiercely.

"It's evened now." The mountain god smiled with satisfaction, and the murderous intent gradually filled his eyes: "The next step is to make you, the guy who got in the way, disappear."

Black mist slowly condensed in his hand, he slowly picked up the mist, and threw it towards Su Jingran forcefully.

A burst of thick smoke rose into the air, enveloping Su Jingran.

It seems that this time is really over... Sighing, he closed his eyes.

There was no pain as imagined. After a while, he opened his eyes suspiciously, and suddenly found that he was being protected by a layer of blue barrier.And Su Jin was standing in front of him, with his back to him, holding a dagger with blue light in his hand.

"Su Jin!" Su Jingran's hostility disappeared immediately, and he was shrouded in endless fear.He tried to get up to stop the person in front of him, but the injury on his back prevented him from moving.

"Don't worry, father." Su Jin didn't turn his head back, the thin and thin back looked extraordinarily tall and resolute at the moment: "I am a descendant of the Su family."

It was obviously a sad scene of parting from life and death, but Su Jingran was inexplicably relieved.The young child that he has been trying to protect, has grown into an excellent adult who can stand in front of him and protect him at some point.

"Why, do you want to fight with me?" The blackness in the mountain god's eyes gradually dissipated, and he returned to his usual look. He raised his head and looked at Su Jin with contempt: "Then you don't need to waste too much effort."

Su Jin obviously didn't want to say anything more, so he clenched his dagger and charged forward.

"Sure enough, it's still the case, would you rather protect them..." There was a self-deprecating smile on the corner of your lips, sadness and loneliness flashed through those bright eyes, and your indifference soon returned: "Then I have nothing to do I'm scrupled."

The moment the long sword stabbed out, he hesitated for a moment, he still didn't want to hurt Su Jin after all.But just this slight hesitation was enough to be fatal. When he realized it, Su Jin had already rushed forward.

Are you going to die in his hands?Such thoughts flashed through his mind, and he felt sad from the bottom of his heart.

Forget it, anyway, this person has never had a place in his heart, anyway, he has already forgotten himself, anyway, anyway, there is nothing to be nostalgic for.

Blood spewed out, and it was extraordinarily warm as it fell on his body, and the world in front of him was covered in red.He opened his eyes wide in horror, watching the blood like splashed ink pouring over the sky and covering the sky, so bright that he lost his temperature.

It was Su Jin's blood.

The long sword in his hand pierced Su Jin's chest, and the dark red blood snaked down the blade, staining his hand holding the sword red.

His mind suddenly went blank, and the mountain god didn't know what happened at that moment, and he didn't dare to know.

Su Jin suddenly stretched out his hand, hugged him tightly, and let the long sword stab deeper into his body until the blade completely sank into his chest.

The delicate hilt was exposed outside the body, and the gushing blood covered his original color.The mountain god trembled and stretched out his hand, wanting to touch the wound.He extremely hoped that this moment was just a prank by this cunning person, or that this was just a nightmare.He has been wandering alone in the nightmare, waiting for the moment to wake up.

Su Jin's weak and intermittent voice came from next to his ear, as if he was chanting some kind of spell.The mountain god let him hold him, and stood there in shock for a long time before he suddenly recovered and pushed him away: "What are you doing? Shut up!"

The sudden movement pulled the wound, and blood spurted out again.Su Jin could no longer stand still, and collapsed in his arms.He gritted his teeth, suppressed the pain, and continued to chant the spell.

A golden spot of light slowly flew out of his body and poured into the mountain god's body.The moment he fell, the mountain god felt that his world was about to collapse.He desperately covered the wound that was bleeding continuously, the blood on his face mixed with tears, and even his voice was hoarse with fear: "I tell you to shut up!"

The singing voice finally stopped, Su Jin still hugged him, took a light breath, and his weak voice was full of relief: "The contract...is completed. You can't hurt...any...anyone..."

Coughing up a mouthful of blood, Su Jin tightly grasped his shirt, tried to raise his head to see his face clearly, and smiled slightly at the corner of his lips: "I'm sorry, at the end... I still can't... remember... your ……name……"

The thick darkness pressed down heavily, covering the bright red color in front of him.He heard panicked shouts piercing through his ears, shaking his ears sorely, and then everything fell into a soundless silence.
