long distance

Changli curled up under the blanket, watching Su Fangmu fetch a basin of cold water for her, wrung a towel and applied it to her hot forehead.He said deflatedly: "Su Fangmu..."

"Don't think about anything, get well first." Su Fangmu took Huo Xinjing out of Changli's arms and put it in a drawer, and then gave Changli some soup.

The door was opened lightly, and Yi Qiu came over in an old blue robe, hesitant to speak.

"Brother Yiqiu!" Changli saw Yiqiu immediately cheered up, looking at Yiqiu with eyes full of anxiety, as if he was asking for some answer, and also seemed to be hoping for some result.

Yi Qiu frowned, walked slowly to a wooden chair and sat down, "Zhuo Yu was gone last night..."

"What!" Chang Li was stunned, "Why..."

Since Zhuo Yu's request to reunite with his wife in the Huo Xin Jing during the day was rejected by Chang Li, she began to slacken every day and get drunk every night, and her situation was even worse than before entering the Huo Xin Jing.Changli was always at a loss for what to do about it, and later even heard that Zhuo Yu was ill. She wanted to visit her, but she also fell ill.So the visit was delayed, but Chang Li still often asked Yi Qiu to take care of him.

Until today, I heard the news of Zhuo Yu's death.

Zhuo Yu's death was undoubtedly a heavy blow to Chang's heart.

Su Fangmu put the decoction aside for the time being, covered it and found that it was already a bit cold, thinking that he would warm it up later before giving it to Changli.As soon as he turned his head and saw that Yi Qiu seemed to have something to say, he asked, "What's the matter? Is there anything else?"

Yi Qiu collected himself, and still hesitantly said: "Tomorrow, you will know when you follow me to the street."

Both Su Fangmu and Changli felt chills in their hearts. Although Yi Qiu didn't explain what happened, it can be seen that this matter is not too light.

The next day, the same town

Changli couldn't believe what she saw in front of her eyes. When she first came here, the spring willows were like smoke, and the bustling streets of Tongzhen seemed to have turned into a dead city within a few days. There is no vitality in the town.

Changli held Su Fangmu tightly with one hand, and came to an old man.The old man was holding a swaddling baby in his arms, and there was something dark and unknown inside. She squinted her eyes and seemed to be looking for something on the ground.

"Grandma, what are you looking for, let me help you find it together." Chang Li squatted down and looked at the anxious expression on the wrinkled face of the old man, and his heart tugged.

The old man raised his head to look at Chang Li, and smiled kindly, "I'm getting old, and my memory is getting worse and worse, I just remember that I came here for a walk a few days ago, and accidentally left the silver bag here That's right. I left the money for my granddaughter to buy noodles and make her favorite pancakes, but I can't find them..."

How could it be possible to find the money lost in this place where people come and go, Chang Li was about to explain to her so that she would not have to do useless things, but Su Fangmu pulled her away.She looked at Su Fangmu as if asking questions, but Su Fangmu motioned her to look into the old woman's swaddle.

If you don't look at it, you haven't noticed it yet, but when you look at it, you are taken aback.That baby is not a little granddaughter, but a ball of black linen stuffed inside.

"Old lady, your granddaughter..."

"My granddaughter is so good." Seeing Changli mentioning her granddaughter, the old man burst into laughter, and she held up the swaddling baby tremblingly in front of Changli to show Changli to look at it, "I keep watch every night." Watching her tell her stories, don't look at her as a child, she can understand everything I say. She likes the pancakes I made for her most on weekdays, and I saved some flour and rice for her to make. , eh, but where did my money for buying noodles go..."

Changli suddenly felt a soreness and pain rushing from the bottom of his heart all the way to his throat, and then squeezed to the tip of his nose, turning into a stream of warmth and rushing out of his eyes.She remembered that this mother-in-law once asked her to bring herself into the mirror of confusion. She lost her husband in middle age, lost her son in old age, and after her daughter-in-law remarried, she was left alone with her infant granddaughter alone.But God's will is unpredictable, and the granddaughter gave birth to smallpox and died within a year.

Originally, the mother-in-law lived alone and lived alone, and time will always heal the wound.But at this time, Changli brought her hope. She worked hard all day to make ends meet. The happiest thing every day was to be able to see her little granddaughter in the mirror at night, and then buy it with the money she spent. A lot of flour and rice were distributed, and when she returned home, she made a large table of pancakes. Even though no one was going to eat those pancakes, she still made them day after day.When it's cold, it's hot, if it's rotten, eat it by yourself...

The mind-confusing mirror, the mirror of confusing the mind, it peeks out what these poor people desire most in their hearts in the brilliance of the stream, and then presents it in front of that person.

It is different from those evil things that cannibalize people's lifespan or absorb people's vitality. It seems to have no desires and desires, blindly satisfying people's wishes, and turning them into dreams.In fact, it can be said to be a big murderer!

Hope, once sparked like a prairie fire, is no longer uncontrollable.Because if it is the hope that comes from Huoxinjing, which is like a flower in the mirror and a moon in the water, then what follows will be despair like a flood breaking a bank.

Chang Li stood up slowly, tears left a shallow dry mark on her face, she suddenly wanted to laugh when she looked at the people in the city who were either idiotic or resentful or angry or stupid or angry or sad.

Confused mind mirror, confused people's hearts.

It is like a woman in gorgeous clothes, with a radiant adornment tied around her waist that looks like a cloud of seven colors in an illusion, and around her arms is a cape made of human emotions and six desires intertwined.She sits on a high cloud seat, looking down at the world of mortals, watching with cold eyes the inner desires of all living beings, watching them become addicted to the illusion of her charity, and watching them fall into the abyss because of her departure, No matter how hard it is to break free.

All without sorrow or joy, without love or heart.

Chang Li ran towards the inn without stopping, and the thoughts in her heart became more and more serious. Although doing so would not help these poor people, at least, such a tragedy would not happen again in the future.

She wants to destroy that evil demon mirror!

"Changli, don't be impulsive!" Su Fangmu knew what she wanted to do, so he hugged Changli and held the child's head in his arms.

"I'm going to smash that mirror!" Chang Li gritted his teeth and raised his head, the fierce light in his eyes was like that of a beast.

Su Fangmu was startled when she saw it, but she could only restrain her from being impulsive so as not to cause a catastrophe.She had been psychologically prepared for all this, but today she was still stabbed in the heart severely.

The air here seems to be filled with a smell called "all thoughts are gone", which lingers on the tip of the nose for a long time and cannot go away.

"Why can it do this? Those people are so innocent, how can it do this...it..." Chang Li couldn't help crying after talking, she fell into Su Fangmu's arms and trembled violently, feeling a pang of anger in her heart, This qi is like a hurricane, getting more and more intense and accumulating, rushing violently in Changli's heart, it seems that as long as there is a hole, it will immediately vent out, it is terrifying and out of shape.

Feeling Changli's heavy breathing, Su Fangmu could only caress her stamina like she did when she was a child, comforting her one after another.

"Long away, long away, long away, long away..."

Su Fangmu knew that even though Changli said such things, he was actually blaming himself in his heart.Just like those things about the subjugation of the country, almost everyone will blame the beauties for harming the country, and the confidantes for harming the water. The real cause of this result is naturally the king who indulged in beauty and misunderstood the country.

Changli naturally understands this truth, the reason why these people are in today's situation, although there is a reason for confusion, there is also the fault of their own inability to resist desire, but the instigator is still Changli.

Just as Changli said that day, the Confused Mind Mirror is just a dead thing, it has no feelings and no thoughts, it can save people or harm people, in the final analysis it depends on who uses it and why it is caused.

People's hearts are even more fragile. The reason why they are mortals is because they have overwhelming emotions, anger, love, pain, and longing.All beings are suffering, how can we blame them.

If Chang Li hadn't put such a huge amount of temptation in front of them, how could there be such a disaster today.

Changli slowly left Su Fangmu's arms, facing the long street in the same town, she suddenly knelt down and bowed down.

Su Fangmu stroked Chang Li's back and let out a long breath.

But how can one blame Changli completely, Changli has not been deeply involved in the world, and does not know that human desires are bottomless.She is just blindly giving them hope and happiness with good intentions, but how do you know that the world is not satisfied? When people's hearts become more and more dissatisfied, when desires break through their original size time and time again, and start to grow wildly, maybe at this moment they are still human, In the next moment, he became a demon.

If you really want to blame, blame the person who created this mirror and sent it to the mortal world.

Su Fangmu suddenly shuddered at the thought of this, and she raised her eyes to look at Yi Qiu beside her.If she remembers correctly, at that time, the mirror of confusion was Yiqiu's master... who brought it to the human world...

A seemingly inadvertent move has led to today's disaster.And when she insisted on dissuading Chang Li back then, it was Yi Qiu who came to Tongzhen with a bewildering mirror...

Su Fangmu felt chills all over in an instant, and the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became. What is the reason for all this...

Yi Qiu felt Su Fangmu's gaze, and slightly averted his gaze.The hands hanging in the sleeves were slowly clenched.

At the end of the long street in the same town, in the direction where Changli prostrated himself, a figure slowly walked towards him.At this time, the breeze blows, raising the smoke and dust on the ground, and people can't help covering it with their sleeves.

Chang Li seemed to have sensed something, and raised his head.At the end, I saw a tall and tall man in black clothes walking towards her slowly.Gradually walking to a distance of about one or two feet, Chang Li finally saw clearly that the man had extremely long black hair, which was tied at the end like a hem and hung on the ground, and he was wearing a black dress. Ordinary black clothes, upon closer inspection, there are many dark blue patterns hovering on them, not showing mountains or dews, but showing the dignity of a man.

He walked on the road, but it seemed to be walking in the middle of the sea, and his steps were light but gave people a feeling of being breathless.Finally he stopped a foot away from Changli, glanced over from a distance, and smiled at Changli when he saw Changli.

Everyone froze when they saw the man's smile. This smile removed the cold and gloomy feeling he gave before, but showed a bit of gentleness and elegance. If you don't look at his clothes, it will really make people think This is the son of a family who is as dignified as jade.

When Yi Qiu saw this, he quickly knelt down and prostrated, "Yi Qiu respectfully welcomes the master."

Su Fangmu looked straight at Zhiming when he heard the words, and couldn't calm down no matter what.It's unimaginable that such a gentle man can do such a thing.

Chang Li looked at Zhiming Shenjun in front of him, stood up suddenly, and raised his head high.

Zhiming smiled again when he saw it, and said slowly, "Don't come here without any problems."

Chang Li tilted his head, "You know me?"

Zhi Ming was stunned for a moment, then slowly turned to look at Yi Qiu, who knelt on the ground and dared not raise his head.He turned his head to look at Chang Li and said with a gentle smile, "You are guilty."

Although the sharp words were spoken in such a gentle tone, it still shocked people after hearing them.guilty?What crime do you know?

But Chang Li understood that what he was talking about was the crime of using the mirror to deceive one's mind.Changli knew he was wrong, secretly clenched his fists, stuck his neck and said nothing.

Zhiming didn't show any dissatisfaction with her noncommittal attitude, but slowly stretched out his hand to Yiqiu. The hand was white and flawless, and the black cuffs were more translucent, as if it had never been exposed to the sun. People can feel the coldness of that hand from the color.

Yi Qiu immediately comprehended, covered the bewildering mirror in his arms with both hands, went up to Zhi Ming and knelt down on one knee and presented it to Zhi Ming.

He has been carrying this mirror since Changli went out, because he is afraid that there will be accidents when Changli discovers it halfway.Now that it was in Zhi Ming's hands, he was relieved.

In fact, he is not a heartless person at all, seeing such a miserable scene in Tongzhen makes his heart ache.He naturally knew that the master must have his own considerations for this move, but he still couldn't agree with it. If the master hadn't signaled and emphasized repeatedly, he would never let anyone other than himself know the existence of Huoxinjing.

Zhi Ming took the mirror with one hand, and then saw a faint blue brilliance flashing, and the whole mirror of bewilderment instantly turned into powder and scattered in all directions.

A deceptive, both righteous and evil spirit turned into fly ash and was crushed into the dust.

This action made no sound at all, only then did Changli realize that except for her, Su Fangmu and Yiqiu, the rest of the people on this street had all fallen asleep, unable to perceive half of what happened here.

Lowering his hands, Zhi Ming slowly opened his mouth, "Changli, I just asked you a question, have you thought about it?"

Changli clenched his fists tightly, and there was a look of determination in his long and narrow phoenix eyes, but he was about to speak but was interrupted by Su Fangmu first.

"Little girl Su Fangmu, I would like to ask this divine monarch a question." Su Fangmu took a step forward and bowed down to give a blessing.

Only then did Zhiming cast his eyes on the woman beside Changli, and he realized that this woman named Su Fangmu didn't pay attention at first glance, she stood with Changli like everyone else They will focus on Chang Li, but if you look closely, you will find that there is an indescribable smell on this woman. Compared with this woman, Chang Li seems light and shallow.

Zhi Ming nodded slightly to her, agreeing to her question.

"Little girl would like to ask Shenjun, the mirror that Shenjun destroyed just now, does Shenjun know its function?"

Zhiming nodded, "This mirror is neither a monster nor a god. It is born with spirituality, and can peek into people's minds in the illusory place of brilliance, and then transform into a realm, charming the mind."

After Su Fangmu heard this, his tone became cold, "Since the god knows this thing, why did he let it come to the world and harm the world?"

This time, not only Yi Qiu was stunned, but Chang Li was also stunned.Even the Zhiming Shenjun who was as unpredictable as the bottom of the abyss in front of him also suppressed some smiles when he heard the words.

The smile on Zhiming's eyes and eyes faded away, making people feel extremely cold. This kind of coldness is different from Meng Zhang's. Meng Zhang is an ancient green dragon. The bright cooling is the coldness that makes people feel as if they have fallen into the bottom of the sea at a glance, the coldness that penetrates from the skin, flows through the limbs and bones, and penetrates into the bone marrow.

He lowered his brows and eyes, and his tone revealed the coldness and ruthlessness of the god of command, "There are countless blessings and disasters in the world."

Yuluo moved his body slightly, raised his palm up slightly, and the shattered light swayed down, and a dark blue twisted silk long whip hovered on his palm.

I can't tell what kind of material the long whip is made of, but the arc it bends is very elegant. It is not an exaggeration to say that when it is all thrown away and dances, it is not an exaggeration to call it peerless.However, the whole long whip is cold, its power is not as gentle as its appearance.As long as you touch it, you will feel icy cold all over your body, and you can imagine what it will be like to be drawn by it.

It looks like a long snake dance, and it can break the river when you throw it. It is called "Taiwu", also known as "Taiwu Long Whip".

Zhi Ming rarely showed it to others, but today he used it to do something.For example, breaking the seal of Changli.

He has been playing chess correctly for tens of thousands of years, except for playing chess with the Superintendent God, he seldom hesitates during the rest of the time. He has been thinking about this move for a long time.

Meng Zhang has reached an agreement with the Yin Demon King. The Yin Demon King will withdraw from Qishan and will no longer support Zhu Yan and the others.But the reason why demons are demons is because they are impermanent and unpredictable.In order to avoid long nights and dreams, Zhi Ming decided to take a risky move.

He lay beside the life wheel for seven days and seven nights and finally found an opportunity in the treacherous life wheel, which was the disaster of the same town.So after Beidi Huoxinjing appeared in the world, he ordered Yiqiu to bring Huoxinjing to the world, just for this moment.

Once Taiwu's long whip falls, how many seals in the six realms can still be maintained? !

Lingguang, Lingguang, we can't wait any longer!

Zhiming shook off the long whip, and Taiwu drew an extremely elegant arc like a black snake, glowing with a barely visible dark blue gleam, "Changli used spiritual things arbitrarily and caused disasters, this deity will replace you today Heaven executes the punishment. Once the whip falls, life and death are at stake."

After the words fell, Zhiming froze slightly.

Because Changli unexpectedly took out the red slingshot, and spun out three fire balls, which were drawn on the string and ready to go.

Zhiming's hand holding Taiwu trembled slightly, he couldn't believe that what he saw in front of his eyes was the Bow of the God of Blanketing the Sun that trembled and heard the sound of thunder back then!

Chang Li looked at him coldly, "I don't know what is the truth of what you said, you said that life and death are impermanent, but you are playing with their feelings! I am the one who caused all this, if God wants I have nothing to say even if I was hacked to death, but you are not responsible for this matter? In terms of punishment, what right do you have to punish me!"

As the words fell, the flame balls shot out in succession, Zhi Ming shook his wrist, Tai Wu swiped against the whip, several streams of water were drawn from the whip, and broke into three water droplets, which melted one by one in response to the three Lihuo shot by Chang Li off.

Before Changli could react, Zhiming turned around and threw the whip, the whole Taiwu was like a black long snake winding towards Changli, Changli looked at the mist that came with the whip, full of heartache. shock.The water mist seemed harmless, but it was indeed extremely terrifying, because he had no power to fight back in front of it.

One shot, one dodge, one spin and one dodge.Zhiming suddenly didn't move, but Changli was already exhausted by Taiwu's pursuit.The things on the street were scattered in the fight between whip and man.

Taiwu is worthy of being a divine weapon. It is calm and unhurried in throwing and throwing, elegant and gorgeous, but it is as pervasive as water and extremely flexible.When facing Taiwu, Changli can only be more flexible than Taiwu, but after all, her strength in her body is restrained, and she cannot completely avoid Taiwu's attack, so it is very embarrassing to dodge.

Chang Li turned over to avoid a whip, only to turn his head to see that the whip seemed to be alive, twisting and attacking at an extremely tricky and incredible angle, Chang Li held down the booth where he was hiding and wanted to borrow some strength, surprised I found that I had been cornered!

The strength is limited, the space is blocked, seeing that the long whip is about to fall, and the inevitable Chang Li fights his fate to raise the self-protecting air mass in his body, intending to take the last blow.

With a "crash", my body suddenly felt warm, with unexpected pain.Changli opened his eyes, only to see Su Fangmu's brows were tightly furrowed, and his forehead was covered with cold sweat.Only then did he suddenly realize what had just happened.

Su Fangmu... took the punishment that should have been hers for her.

"Su Fangmu!!!" Chang Li's tears fell at the same time, and his cry was like a phoenix screaming, hoarse.

She is like a traveler walking in the deep forest and lost all directions, she can no longer see other things in front of her eyes, and all the light spots are only concentrated on the person in her arms.She could only see the pale and trembling lips of the man, and only hear the man's voice as slight as a mosquito: "Long Li...don't..."

Chang Li wailed, like a child who suddenly had nothing, helpless, confused, scared, and desperate.At a loss, she went to check the long whip mark on Su Fangmu's back, and she was completely stunned when she saw it, because the whip mark was deeply visible.

"Su Fangmu..." He opened and closed his lips, but he could only utter these three words.

Zhiming has never seen Ling Guang before, or still calls her Changli, showing such eyes.It has been a long time since he has experienced the demeanor of the Godly Bow that covers the sky with blazing flames.

The divine bow that can cover the sun, the string moves with the sound of thunder, and when the arrow is released, the flames will cover the sun.Apart from these fourteen words, there is no imitation.

This sentence is true.

Because when Changli's still slender body pointed at him with the six-foot-eight-junged divine bow made of flames, the flaming tip of the fire-feathered long arrow really made him, the basalt god at the bottom of the Beiming water ——

Chilled.
