Jiajing Spiritual Records

Ning Huan's eyes suddenly widened, and his slender eyelashes trembled uncomfortably. He never thought that the female ghost in white clothes was Su Xian's mother.Ning Huan lowered his eyes and clenched his hands on his knees into fists: "I thought..." he murmured.After a long while, he finally closed his lips, no amount of comforting words seemed like a feeble perfunctory at this time.With red eyes, Ning Huan stretched out his hand to hold Su Xian Weiliang's hand tightly.

It was very quiet all around. "Ning Huan." Su Xian lowered his head, he leaned wearily against the stone wall behind him, and said softly, "Actually, I found her when I was in the inn. I found out that you were sick that night because she kept beating The door." The dull pain in the heart seems to be like thousands of fish being caught in the broken fishing net, and they are slamming towards the hollow gap.Something is collapsing quietly, "but I thought she was a lonely ghost who came from somewhere and drove her away."

"Ning Huan." Su Xian's eyes turned gradually, and the dark eyes seemed to be rippling on the calm surface of the water, shining brightly, "Do you think that if I didn't come here on my own initiative, would I come here?" ..."

Ning Huan looked at Su Xian, his dark pupils were black and shiny: "No way." He held Su Xian's cold face, "Have you forgotten why we came here?"

Is that the woman who entered the Su Mansion pretending to be Zhao Wanniang?Thinking of this, Su Xian's eyes darkened a bit, "It wants us to come here." Ning Huan looked at Su Xian with clear eyes and said, "Su Xian, this is not your fault. , she definitely doesn't want you to be so sad."

Su Xian lowered his eyes and said nothing.The plain brocade pouch leaked from Ning Huan's waist, and the pearly white tassels shook.Su Xian's slender eyelashes trembled.It suddenly occurred to him that when he was four years old, his master took him to Sanqing Mountain, and the only thing he held in his hand seemed to be the unfinished plain brocade bag left by his mother.He even vaguely remembered that his father and mother seemed to argue about what pattern to embroider on it. His mother wanted to embroider a gourd, but his father disliked the vulgar meaning of the gourd.

"What good fortune and good fortune? My son has to be as clean and upright as bamboo, and be a literati! Embroider bamboo!" Suxian smiled, but it's a pity that his father's expectations for him still follow in his footsteps in the end. Dip, and fall into the Jinyiwei who is shouted and beaten by hundreds of officials.It's better to listen to his mother embroider a gourd, so as to bless him with promotion and fortune.

The surface of the Subu brocade bag was still white, so it was hung on his body in a hurry. "Xian'er, be good, take this with you, your parents will come to pick you up after finishing their work."

The first class is 14 years.Su Xian didn't know what was in the kit, until he went down the mountain with his master at the age of seven and encountered a river monster on the way.The kit lost the talisman and collapsed.That year, Su Xian was seven years old, with a small gray face, he spent the whole day flipping through the dusty library, imitating the pattern on the talisman paper and drawing another one crookedly, pretending to be that talisman. Zhang talisman paper was still in his pocket, he felt as if his parents were still by his side...

Ning Huan's worried face was reflected in the pure black eyes: "I'm fine." Su Xian smiled, and Shang Hao gently rubbed Ning Huan's head with one hand, "Really." He said.

Ning Huan looked at him suspiciously. "Really." Su Xian hooked the corners of his lips and repeated it again and again.

Ning Huan pursed his lips.After a long while, Fu looked back worriedly and sneaked a glance, seeing that Su Xian didn't have a reluctant expression, and he was gradually relieved.

"But—" Ning Huan curled his lips slightly, he missed Su Xian's shoulder, and his eyes showed a hint of confusion when facing the stone wall in front of him.After a long while, he asked hesitantly, "But if it is looking for the last keel, why is it looking for you?"

Su Xian was startled, raised his eyes, and lightly twirled the half of the thread cloth hanging from the bend of his arms with his fingers. Dark clouds surged, and a violent coldness flashed in the bottom of his eyes like black clouds overwhelming the city. He raised his lips. corner, sneered and said: "Perhaps he came to seek revenge."

seek revenge.

"Suxian." Ning Huan frowned roughly, he thought for a moment, looked at Suxian carefully considering the words and said, "I still remember that the letter recorded that a person escaped from Sheren Town, and Yang Qiong said yes One of your parents. Now it seems that that person may be your aunt, but...but..."

"But why did those pages of paper fall into the stone room in Sheren Town again, and why did my mother become like that again?" Suxian said in a calm voice, filling out his doubts for Ning Huan.After all, they all fell into silence.

"The secret of She Ren Town is written on the back of that page." Ning Huan looked at Su Xian and asked, "Could it be because of this? But what is the secret of She Ren Town? Is it the reincarnation disk?"

Su Xian was silent for a long time and did not respond.After a while, he looked at Ning Huan and asked, "Ning Huan, where do you think that door will be?"

Ning Huan frowned, he thought how could he know this.He was stunned: "You don't mean to say..."

Su Xian nodded and said, "That's where." As he spoke, the corners of his mouth slowly formed a curve that looked like a smile but wasn't a smile.He stood up and flicked off the dust attached to his body, "Let's go, go and find out what the secret of Sheren Town is."

Ning Huan pursed his lips, nodded obediently, and stood up together.

"You said, can Yang Qiong's method really kill Zhu Jiuyin?" On the way, Ning Huan asked curiously.

Suxian thought for a while, and replied: "It is said that Zhu Ronghuo is the beginning of fire in the world. When the sun and the moon did not exist in the world, the fire god Zhu Rong spread the fire to the world, and the chaotic world began to have light. Zhu Ronghuo is extraordinary fire. Yang Qiong really found it, maybe it can." Ning Huan nodded with a half understanding.

The place where Sheren Town came out was not far from the stone gate that the two had passed through before, and there were not many forks here, so the two arrived after searching for it for a short time.

Ning Huan's eyes were fixed on the huge stone gate, and the strange feeling at the beginning did not dissipate. pressure.Ning Huan took a deep breath, and kicked hard on the stone gate that was connected to the mountain, but, compared to the stone gate that was more than ten feet high, it was like a fly shaking a tree.

Ning Huan gave a "tsk", turned his eyes to look at Su Xian and said, "It's not likely that the two of us will push this stone door open, right?" Ning Huan shook his head and said with a confused expression, "What did Auntie do back then? went in?"

"Ning Huan." Su Xian called him suddenly, he tilted his head slightly and did not turn around, his black eyes were staring at the huge stone door in front of him without blinking, "Have we seen the pattern on it before?" ?” Su Xian asked.

"What?" Ning Huan frowned slightly, following Su Xian's line of sight, he also looked up.The stone gate is dripping with thick black lacquer, and the complicated lines reflect a strange light under the dim yellow firelight. "This is..." After a while, Ning Huan's eyes widened slightly.If it hadn't been pointed out by Su Xian, it would be difficult to find the familiarity of deja vu.The crowd surrounded a giant snake that was dead and entrenched, the head of the snake touched the tail of the snake, forming a ring.Everyone in the painting looked up at the sky in horror.

"This... this is the mural in that stone room." Ning Huan murmured.But, this time he finally saw clearly.

What are the people in the murals afraid of? They are afraid of the man wearing the blue fox mask in the sky. "Then, could it be Lord Beiyin?" Ning Huan asked.Su Xian didn't answer, he lowered his eyes, the color of his eyes under his eyelashes darkened imperceptibly, and he didn't know what he was thinking for a moment.After a long time, he said, "Ning Huan, maybe we misunderstood that 'door'."

"What do you mean?" Ning Huan asked, while tentatively touching the wall of the stone gate, thinking that since it is a door, it may not be possible to push it open, but there must be a way to open it.

"Perhaps the stone door here is just a reminder, the real door is actually in the stone room in Sheren Town. You forgot why Yang Qiong disappeared suddenly..."

The stone wall was sunken into a small groove, "Wait a minute." Ning Huan pressed his face against the wall and kept groping inwards, "There seems to be a pull ring at the end. Tsk, it can't be pulled." Ning Huan slightly After exerting force, "Hiss—" the fingertip touched a sharp object like a sharp blade, and immediately pierced the finger, and the bright red blood gushed out, staining the roller skates in the groove. "Galla—" There was a slight sound from inside the door.

Ning Huan hastily withdrew his hand and wiped his bloody fingers on his sleeve.He frowned, looked at Suxian in confusion and asked: "I didn't understand what you just said, what is a hint, and where is there no door?"

"You..." Suxian looked at Ning Huan and was speechless for a moment, he sighed angrily, and wanted to accuse Ning Huan of nonsense.

At this time, a dull roar came from behind the two of them.Ning Huan only felt that the stone wall against which his back was leaning was slowly hanging in the air and disappearing.And Su Xian's expressionless face was also cracked with a look of astonishment.Ning Huan turned around in surprise, staring at the slowly moving stone door in front of him in astonishment.Ning Huan glanced at Su Xian, his face was quite pleasantly surprised, he said with a smile: "No wonder there is no gap in this door. It turns out that the direction is wrong, people are up and down, not left and right."

Su Xian looked at Ning Huan and raised his eyebrows, but didn't speak for a while.At this moment, Ning Huan thought of what Su Xian hadn't finished speaking just now, and he asked: "What did you want to tell me just now?"

Su Xian looked at Ning Huan's innocent face, and curled his lips: "It's nothing, let's go."

……

The darkness came overwhelming, like a huge heavy mouth, covering people's heads and faces in it.The two walked into the huge stone door, and the stone door closed again with a sound behind "Boom".The surrounding temperature dropped in vain, as if the whole person had been thrown into a world of ice and snow, Ning Huan shivered from the cold.The thin light suddenly illuminated the dark interior, ambiguous, sparse, revealing a dark and lifeless air.There was a flicker of fire light, and out of the corner of his eye Ning Huan saw a gloomy pale grimace behind Su Xian's shoulder.

Ning Huan's expression changed suddenly, and he quickly swung the dagger in his hand.But the short knife seemed to have touched a hard rock wall, and fell to the ground with a "slap" one foot away from the grimace.The grimace was still there, and the blood-red pupils stared at the two with a half-smile, the flames flashed, and a strange light reflected on the blue-white face.

"What... what is this!" Ning Huan hurriedly hid behind Su Xian.

Su Xian frowned, and probed for the grimace with the torch in his hand.In the next moment, a frozen corpse was completely presented in front of the two of them.The gray stone wall outside the door turned into a thick layer of ice at some point, following the dim light of Huozhezi, there seemed to be more corpses frozen in the ice layer in the distance and deep.The fire was dim, and only their vague outlines could be seen vaguely.

"These things..." The fire flashed under Ning Huan's feet suddenly, a pale and terrified face appeared half of Ning Huan's face from the sole of Ning Huan's shoes, Ning Huan hurriedly jumped away, and he cursed in a low voice, "This... ...how come there are still here!"

Those people are all dressed in strange clothes, which should belong to a very long time ago.There was a terrified expression on the pale face, and the wide-open pupils seemed to be telling the unwillingness before death, but before they could say it, they were frozen in this moment forever.Ning Huan suddenly came back to his senses, he pursed his lips and said, "Isn't this the cemetery of the She clan?"

Su Xian's flame swept around, and said: "It's not so much the graveyard of the She people, but the graves of those 'Wen' people." He nodded in agreement, perhaps because the "summoned" clansmen were not worthy to come in.

Ning Huan held his breath, he tried his best to keep his eyes from looking at the ground, ignoring the tingling terror.From the dead silence, only the footsteps of the two "Pa-Ta-Pa-Ta-" could be heard, and there was a crisp sound on the ice layer, echoing lingeringly, swaying on the towering dome, faintly like a ghost Weeping loudly...

The two walked along the ice layer, and finally the surrounding ice layer disappeared, exposing the dark soil underneath.Ning Huan let out a long breath.Suddenly, Su Xian grabbed Ning Huan, "So... so what?"

Su Xian's chin tapped the ground not far away, Ning Huan was taken aback, and a huge deep pit appeared a few inches away from his feet.Su Xian squatted down, and the light of Huo Zhezi looked there.

"Ning Huan." Su Xian's voice came from that side, and he didn't turn his head, "Do you still remember that Yang Qiong said that day that there are no dead people in Sheren Town?" Although Ning Huan didn't understand why Su Xian would Asked so suddenly, but still nodded.

Su Xian pointed to his feet, then turned his eyes to look at Su Xian: "The corpses of those people are now below." Hearing this, Ning Huan's eyes widened, "Down... below?" He stumbled back .

Su Xian looked back, he raised his eyebrows, looked Ning Huan up and down, and there was a hint of a smile that was not a smile in his eyes. "You...why are you looking at me!" Ning Huan rolled his eyes unnaturally when he was stared at.

Suxian smiled, shook his head and said: "It's just a memory. I remember the first time we met, you were the one who would be scared when you saw Yinchuan. I didn't expect that now you see a dead person and your face doesn't change."

"That's not true." It was rare for Su Xian to boast a few words, and Ning Huan couldn't help but feel a little elated.He proudly puffed out his chest, "Let's not talk about the dead, I'm not afraid of going down the death pit now."

"Okay." Su Xian responded briskly.

"What?" For a moment, Ning Huan felt that he must have heard it wrong.

The corner of Su Xian's mouth curled into a playful smile, he pointed his finger and said: "Then go down."

Ning Huan's complexion changed in vain, but the harsh words that were uttered may not always be taken back.He looked at the thick darkness behind him, but at this moment the two of them were also in a dilemma.Ning Huan pursed his lips, seemingly reluctantly said: "Then you go down first."

Su Xian was also straightforward, turned over and jumped down.Ning Huan reluctantly followed behind him slowly.

There was a strong rancid smell all around, and the pale corpses were piled up densely, with tens of thousands of layers on top of each other. "Are there really only those bones in Sheren Town here?" Ning Huan wrinkled his nose, carefully avoiding those bones, "It stands to reason that it took more than ten years for Zhu Jiuyin to be resurrected after the keel appeared. Counting those Zhao Clan people, it is impossible to have the scale of a mass grave." Ning Huan curled his lips and muttered, "Besides, aren't those 'Zhao Clan' people still buried in another place?"

Hearing this, Su Xian stopped in his tracks.His eyes swept over the pile of bones beside him, and suddenly he poked one of the skeletons with the blade, "See?" He said to Ning Huan, "Here, the incision at the neck directly cut the neck bone. Do you think this What does this kind of death look like?" Su Xian asked, seeing Ning Huan blinking blankly, he said the answer himself, "Sacrifice."

"These people are all sacrifices to Zhu Jiuyin." He paused for a moment before continuing, "When the keel appeared and the secret of the dragon's veins in Sheren town was spread to the Jianghu, maybe it was just a conspiracy by Zhu Jiuyin .”

"conspiracy?"

Su Xian sneered: "Of course it is to attract more sacrifices. This place is not so much a mass grave as a sacrificial altar."

The two walked towards the center of the mass grave, and suddenly a small open space appeared in front of them.Both of them stopped, and saw a dead body in the middle of the open space.Speaking of which, there was nothing unusual about this corpse, but in this mass grave where many people died tragically, his state was too peaceful, with his hands folded on his chest, as if he was sleeping peacefully.

Su Xian pushed aside the pile of bones in front of him, stepped forward, bent slightly, and picked up the waist card that fell on the side of the corpse.His body trembled suddenly, "Su Xian?" Ning Huan looked at Su Xian, and immediately noticed that something was wrong on his face, and walked forward cautiously.

Su Xian didn't say a word, and knelt down slowly in front of the corpse with his knees straight.

"This is my father." After a long time, Su Xian said.His slender eyelashes drooped slightly, and a look of sadness flashed across his black eyes. He straightened his back, and lightly stroked the waist plate with his fingertips, "Jin Yi Wei Lian Shi Su Jin Xin", the red paint has faded away, A corner was broken off at the edge of the waist card.Su Xian carefully carried it into his arms.

Ning Huan remained silent, and he didn't know what to say.The moment his clear eyes were looking at the corpse, he pursed his lips, stepped forward, and knelt down beside Su Xian.

"Worshiping my in-laws." Suxian said with a smile, although the smile was a little tired.Ning Huan's slender eyelashes trembled, he raised his eyes and looked at him, but didn't speak.

There were still a few pages of yellowed paper under Father Su's body, so Su Xian went over and picked them up.

"I don't know who you will be. Since you came here, it proves that the trapped dragon array failed, or it's time to start the last one. You may be one of us, or someone who came later. Since you have already At this point, I will tell you everything. There is no dragon vein in Sheren Town, and everything is a lie. There is only Xiangliu, the evil dragon who has been suppressed for thousands of years."

In the letter, Ning Huan seemed to see another story, a story similar to their trajectory but full of secrets.After the seven entered Sheren Town, they lived in an inn.Su Xian's parents pretended that they were newlyweds returning home for the funeral, and Zhao Wanniang, Yang Qiong, Wang Rui and his subordinates lived with them.

In the beginning, in order to relax the attention of Wang Rui, a pedestrian, on the night of the first day, Su's mother said that she was injured and stayed with Wanniang in the inn.Yang Qiong, Yu Su's father, Wang Rui and others went to Sheren Town to investigate the dragon vein.But at night, the appearance of a monster with a human face and a snake body made everyone lose their minds.Not only Su's father and Yang Qiong separated, but even Wanniang also separated from Su's mother in the inn to avoid the monsters who came to find them.

Su's mother hid in that coffin shop to avoid those monsters with a human face and a snake body...

"Su Xian." Ning Huan murmured, "Have you noticed that the road we walked is like a replica of your uncle and aunt's past?"

Su Xian's eyes darkened, he looked at Ning Huan and said, "It's not so much that my parents walked by, it's better to say that it was 14 years ago when Zhu Jiuyin peeped and saw it."

"Stupid people always think that they can kill gods." In the distance, a sinister laugh suddenly sounded in the darkness, "Da Shun" jumped down from the pile of bones, and his cold face appeared in vain. in front of people.Ning Huan was startled, and staggered back a few steps, "You are..."

Candle Nine Yin.

"Even if he told you what happened 14 years ago, what's the use? He thought he was smart enough to save his son, so I followed his wishes and let his son go through the story of 14 years."

Ning Huan was stunned, that dream, that series of dreams...

"It's a pity—" The fire light fell on his face, reflecting a strange light.He picked up the letter on the ground and shook his head, "Whoa—" the paper flew up in the air, and fell into pieces in an instant, "It's a pity that the story is only half told. Su Xian." He looked at Su Xian with a grinning grin, "You Do you know why your mother came back again? Su Jinxin thought that in exchange for her life, she could save her. But I just let her see the future, her son died in Sheren Town, and she is determined to stay." His eyes were dark Looking at Suxian, he smiled coldly, "No one in Sheren Town can run away, even you all came back by yourself."
