snow wolf ballad

"I... what am I... doing?"

"Ah, by the way, we seem to have been swayed by that worm-like Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva..."

"Where am I... now?"

Zi Mu finally felt her body gradually. She found that she seemed to be sitting on something, with her hands and feet arranged. It seemed to be the Zen meditation posture of Buddhism, with five hearts facing the sky.She wanted to move her hands and feet, but found that she couldn't move. Her soul seemed to be locked in a frozen body, and she could no longer move freely.

Even her spiritual consciousness couldn't get out of her body, she couldn't feel the outside world at all, and she was trapped by herself. This strange feeling made her feel bad.

Well, at least let me open my eyes and see the situation in front of me. She tried to control the lifting of her eyelids, but found that she couldn't even do such a simple action.Frustration rose, and anger rose in her heart, mixed with helplessness and unknown fear.

Damn it!Damn it!How are you doing?Huanji... that's right!How is Huanji?

When her thoughts came here, she suddenly felt her stone-like eyelids loosen. The darkness in front of her eyes gradually faded, and a gentle and gentle light shone. Her eyelids trembled slightly, and she slowly opened her purple eyes.

Here... where is it?She looked at the scene in front of her in confusion. Since her head and neck could not be turned, she could only see the part that could be touched from the corner of her eye, but even this was enough to surprise her.

She is sitting on one side of a huge scale, and the other side is about [-] meters away from her. The whole body of the scale is golden, and there is a figure floating in the center, which is the worm-like Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, but now he His appearance has changed, and he looks very much like the real Buddha, with Buddha light shining behind his head, sitting cross-legged on a lotus flower seat, wearing a golden cassock, posing strange gestures, only the face is still changing strangely , one breath of prajna, one breath of compassion.

On the other side, there was also a figure sitting, and upon closer inspection, it was the red fox Huanji.She is just like Zi Mu, sitting on the other side of the scale with a stiff body, except for the pair of red eyes that can move, her body is as stiff as a carved stone.

Huanji...so it's all right... Zimu breathed a sigh of relief for a while, and then her pupils shrank, and saw that there was a vast ocean under the scale platform where Huanji was sitting. It is conceivable that if she rises here, the other side descends, according to this huge scale lever The length of the platform will be submerged without falling too much, and Huanji will be unable to move, and will inevitably be buried in the water.If it's just ordinary water, it's fine, but if it's not ordinary water, I'm afraid Huanji will really die.

On the other hand, her body has no perception, so she didn't pay attention at first.But now she found that her body was full of flames. If she descended from here, she might be directly roasted and killed.As a great aquatic monster, she is most afraid of fire, and the flames can do her great harm. What's more, there is no ordinary flame below, but the legendary true fire of Samadhi. Once touched, it will be wiped out.

It seems that my place is the real fire of samadhi. In contrast, Huanji's place is definitely not ordinary water. It may be the legendary weak water that erodes bones.

Looking carefully, I don’t know what kind of material this scale is made of. The water and fire on both sides stop at the scale, drawing a clear boundary. The two heavens of water and fire subtly coexist here.

What on earth is this... this false bodhisattva going to do?Zi Mu looked at the false Bodhisattva, as if sensing her doubts, the other party finally spoke, his voice was still loud and indifferent:

"Love is a matter of life and death. The first level is the test of love. All kinds of troubles are caused by love. This is the balance of the heart. It can distinguish between true and false, and can recognize false and true. One question and one answer, you must be honest, and you must ask your heart. Liars rise One square, the opponent will drop one square; the honest person will go down one square, and the opponent will rise one square. Those who deliberately lied in order to save their lives in the test will be directly obliterated! There are nine questions in total, one question per person, no one will be swallowed by the weak water and the real fire If you pass a level successfully, you will immediately enter the next level. If you fail to pass a level, both will be wiped out."

Too poisonous!After hearing the rules of the game, Zi Mu's heart trembled. If she lied, it would definitely make Huanji down.But if she tells the truth, she will fall.Moreover, the number of questions in this game is still an odd number, so one side must be asked an extra question, so what choice should one make?

Tell the truth, or tell a lie?

"The first question, ask Zijiao Zimu, please answer within 30 seconds, otherwise it will be regarded as giving up, and you will directly descend into the weak water and real fire to obliterate. Is the red fox Huanji your true love?"

Suddenly, I felt that my tongue and throat were free and I could speak.Almost without hesitation, Zimu chose a quick answer:

"Yes!"

"Crackling", as soon as she finished speaking, the huge scales began to vibrate, and she made her own judgment.Zimu's side went down, while Red Fox's side went up.Zimu observed that there is a mechanism under the lever of the scale, and each grid has a mechanism lever to lower the horizontal bar. Now the first horizontal bar on her side is retracted, and the lever is lowered.After falling about five meters, it was blocked by the second crossbar, and the descent was completed.

At the moment, the red fox sitting at the other end of the scale had mist in her red eyes. Although the expression on her face was fixed, her eyes were full of smiles.Looking at Zi Mu at the far end, it was a look of emotion and hope.

"Second question, ask the red fox Huanji. Please answer within 30 seconds, otherwise it will be regarded as giving up, and you will directly descend into the weak water and real fire to obliterate. Is Zijiao Zimu your true love?"

Like Zimu, Red Fox also felt that he could speak, so he chose to answer quickly;

"Yes!"

The scale moved again, Huanji's side fell, Zimu's rose, and the two returned to a balanced position, as if they had returned to the starting point.

It's just something that the two of them expected. The level of the first round is just like this. This is probably just an appetizer. First let the players familiarize themselves with the rules of the game.There are still seven questions left, and it is difficult to answer each question. The thinking time is only 30 seconds. The huge pressure made Huanji and Zimu's foreheads drip cold sweat at the same time.

"The third question, ask Zijiao Zimu. (The following 30-second answer rule is omitted) Red Fox Huanji's sister Daji killed your brother, do you hate her for that?"

"..." Zimu's heart skipped a beat. She didn't expect the second round of questions to become so pungent. This question was so difficult to answer. She was really confused and didn't know how to answer it.

"I... don't hate!" Zi Mu gritted his teeth and replied.

"Crackling", Zimu began to rise, and the red fox descended. This change itself meant that she had lied.Zi Mu clenched his teeth and closed his eyes, feeling unbearably uncomfortable.

And the red fox on the other side naturally saw the answer in Zimu's heart from this change at this moment. Sure enough...it was so...Although it was expected, Huanji's heart still felt uncomfortable as if she had been punched hard. I can't breathe.

Without giving Huanji any time to breathe, the false bodhisattva continued to ask:

"The fourth question, ask the red fox Huanji. Zimu participated in the battle of Shang and Zhou Dynasties, assisted Jiang Ziya in attacking the Zhaixing Building, captured your sister Daji, and indirectly caused Daji's tragic death. Do you hate her?"

Huanji closed her eyes, tears overflowed from the corners of her eyes, her lips trembled, she was silent for about five seconds, and replied:

"I hate!"

Libra made a judgment, Huanji fell again, Zimu rose again, Huanji was already very close to the weak water at this moment, and if she fell one more space, she would be submerged in the weak water.

No... no no no... Huanji!Zi Mu wanted to shout her name so much, but she couldn't speak at all except when she was answering, so she could only open her eyes wide, looking down at Huanji from a height, the tears on her cheeks clearly reflected in her eyes, Zi Mu She just felt that she had never had such difficulty in breathing for a moment, and she was full of worries. She really wanted to scream and vent.

"Question five, ask Zijiao Zimu!" ​​The false bodhisattva's voice seemed even louder and more ruthless, with an aggressive aura, "Are you willing to sacrifice your life for the red fox Huanji?"

"I am willing!" Zi Mu replied quickly again, her tone was firm without hesitation.

Zimu went down, and Red Fox went up. This time, Zimu was telling the truth.She was really willing to sacrifice her life for the red fox, because that's even what she thought at the moment.If the red fox was really in danger of being engulfed by weak water, she would give up answering directly and fall into the real fire by herself.But in fact, if you think about it carefully, this is impossible, because the purpose of this game is to survive, and both parties must survive. If one party dies, the other party will not survive.When she sacrifices herself, it's game over and neither of them survives.

"Question six, ask the red fox Huanji. Are you willing to sacrifice your life for Zimu Zimu?"

"I do not want to…"

Kaka, the balance that the red fox Huanji had finally risen fell again, and Zimu was lifted up again.

Why?Huanji, are you telling the truth?Zi Mu felt as if his heart had been cut by a knife, bleeding from the pain. "I don't want... I don't want... I don't want..." The echo lingered in her mind.She stared blankly at the other end of the scale, and saw the red fox's eyes, which contained unwillingness and urgency, as if she still had something to say.

More words, what more words?Why don't you want to, why...

Zi Mu only felt that his mind was numb and almost lost his ability to think.

Fool!Why do not you believe me!Huanji saw those pair of despairing purple eyes, her heart was anxious, tears of grievance rolled in her eyes.I don't want to sacrifice my life for you, not because I don't love you, but because I love you too much, I don't want to die, I don't want to die, we all have to live well.fool!Did you hear the voice in my heart?

It's a pity that the false Bodhisattva only gave them the simplest chance to answer, and she couldn't say this long series of words at all.

At the beginning of the third round of questions, the red fox is in an absolutely disadvantageous position at this moment, and Zi Mu's heart is numb after being hurt by the previous question. At this moment, the functioning of her brain is sluggish. What kind of answer will she give to this question?

"The seventh question, ask Zijiao and Zimu. In the battle of the Conferred Gods, you lived together in the cave for three months. Because of your sex, you went to bliss almost every day in March. Is the red fox Huanji you love? Body or soul? Choose one, not both.”

Zi Mu never thought that there would be such a question. Instead, she temporarily walked out of Huanji's answer just now, and replied rationally. She began to think carefully and carefully, and she was determined not to be convicted of lying again.In fact, she thought she hadn't lied before, but she didn't expect Libra to judge her to be a liar, which shows that she didn't think carefully to discern her heart at all.But now she is no longer allowed to make the slightest mistake, this time she must tell the truth and speak from her heart, otherwise, Huanji will really be killed by him.

"I...choose the soul..." She almost gritted her teeth and closed her eyes after she finished speaking, waiting for the trial.

The lever of Libra turned back up, Zimu fell, Huanji rose, and Huanji was out of danger again.This time Zimu finally saw her heart clearly. She loved her soul more than her body. Although it was true that she had sex because of her sex, her love was more important than her sex.

Fool... The red fox's face was wet with tears, looking at the purple figure in the distance, her heart was filled with a thick wave of heat, and she had never been so moved for a moment.

"The eighth question, ask the red fox Huanji. Do you love Zimu Zijiao's body or soul? Choose one, not both." I asked Huanji the same question again.

"I...choose the soul..." Huanji seemed to answer more relaxedly than Zimu, obviously she had already seen this question clearly.

Huanji descended again, and Zimu rose.Since you are not allowed to lie intentionally in order to raise your own scale, the answer to every question must be honest and honest, and it is impossible to play tricks in order to win the game.But Zimu accidentally lied before, so the balance between the two was broken at once, and Huanji was always in a disadvantaged position. No matter how hard Zimu tried, he couldn't bring Huanji back to a safe position.

Zi Mu blamed herself very much, the last question was coming soon, she didn't know what would change, Huanji was in a disadvantageous position, which made her really worried.

"The ninth question, the last question. Ask the red fox Huanji." The unexpected ninth question, unexpectedly chose Huanji to answer, this false Bodhisattva obviously came prepared, what exactly is she going to ask?The ominous premonition in Zi Mu's heart is getting stronger and stronger.

The questioning of the false bodhisattva continues:

"Have you ever betrayed Zijiao Zimu in soul or body?"

"Heh!" The red fox gasped, his head was buzzing, how did he know?How did he know!No, it's impossible, it's impossible!No one would know, even she would ignore it, how could he know?

At this moment, when Zi Mu heard this question, he seemed to be slapped suddenly without warning, and was completely stunned.betray?betray!How, how is it possible?The ninth question is why such a question, why would a false bodhisattva ask such a question?

30 seconds of tick-tock passed by, and every second of walking was one second less.Dead silence spread in this deadly space, the red fox was in extreme torment, sweat mixed with tears slid down, she almost gritted her silver teeth.

Originally, this game seemed to have more elements of torture Zimu.Due to their very different personalities, Honghu is more open-minded than Zimu on these issues, so her answers are often easier.However, I didn't expect that at the end, there would be a big reversal. This last question was too insidious. No matter what her answer was, it would cause fatal damage.Betrayal is the most intolerable thing in love.

"Five seconds count down, five, four, three, two..."

The countdown to the false Bodhisattva began, and the red fox cried out in pain:

"Ah!!! Yes!!!"

No!No! ! ! !Zi Mu looked at the red fox in disbelief.

However, at this moment, the lever suddenly picked up, Huanji rose by one level, and she fell by one level.

well?Why?Huanji lied?She didn't betray me?Impossible, this is a dead end, whether she tells the truth or deliberately lies, we will both be obliterated.And she yelled out in such pain, I could feel that she was telling the truth, but why did the leverage go up?Heng Xincheng judged that she was lying, but did she think she was telling the truth?

Before he had time to figure out what was going on, the grand and ruthless voice of the false Bodhisattva sounded again:

"Successful in passing the first level of emotion, and immediately enter the next level, fate level."
