Hot as China, cold as snow

"Soon we will see the pair of Lianli trees in Wuyin Mountain." Xiyuan said casually, "Then we have reached the place." It has played a role in reassuring the heart during the long journey.

Everyone stopped in front of such a huge tree, and no instructions were needed, because the tree was so huge and magnificent that it was enough for people to stop.The roots that should have been buried deep under the soil were half in front of people's eyes, and the visual radius of those roots alone was comparable to that of a wheel.That is the Lianli tree that Xiyuan said. There are two Lianli trees, one on the left and one on the right, standing on both sides of the entrance of Wuyin Mountain. People standing under the tree look up at the sky and it is difficult to see the edge of the tree. The two trees cross each other. , the branches and leaves intertwine with each other, spreading and communicating over the entire sky.That's a true marriage tree. On the whole, the two trees seem to be integrated into one.A familiar scene.

Liu Moran felt sore in his heart, his chest was stuffy, and his blood stagnated. He stretched out his hands to hold his chest, and felt that his heart was beating differently than usual. He was very sad and had the urge to cry. This feeling became more obvious the closer he got to here .Xiyuan noticed his abnormality and asked: "What's wrong with you? Liu Moran!"

Liu Moran shook his head, Xi Yuan grabbed Liu Moran's wrist and felt his pulse gently, then heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Fortunately, it's not Luochen."

Liu Moran once remembered that he had seen these two Lianli trees in Wuyin Mountain in that time and space, and they felt very different. Liu Moran pulled Xiyuan's hand away: "It's okay." He lifted his legs and walked to the side, but felt that One leg becomes heavy and stiff.

Liu Moran walked to the front of the tree and saw a stone tablet. He scraped off the weeds on both sides of the stone tablet with his hands, and on the front of the stone tablet there were three big characters 'Wuyinshan', and on the back was a crape myrtle flower.

When the people behind saw the stele, there were bursts of discussions. Many people relaxed and finally reached Wuyin Mountain.

Liu Moran calmed down and led everyone into the burial place of the Ziwei clan.

Xiyuan found a natural cave in the mountain of Wuyin Mountain, and determined the burial place of patriarch Su Heng's coffin according to the order of placing the coffins.The climate in Wuyin Mountain is gloomy and cold, which is not suitable for humans to stay for a long time.The two of them unanimously decided to let Su Heng be buried in the ground as soon as possible, complete the burial as soon as possible, and return to Cang Qiong Mountain as soon as possible.

On the second day, everyone got up early and found an auspicious time.

People dressed in black funeral clothes, embroidered with crape myrtle flowers, stood respectfully in a circle around the coffin, and lit the lights.Liu Moran dressed in formal clothes and started praying in the middle, using that strange language. Fortunately, he had practiced it many times before, and Liu Moran could already speak these languages ​​instinctively.After praying, sacrifice to the sky, sacrifice to the earth, and then sacrifice to the ancestors.

Under the leadership of Liu Moran and Xiyuan, all the staff bowed three times to the sky, three times to the ground, and then kowtowed three times to the ancestor's coffin in Wuyin Mountain. The cry was the deepest cry of the clansmen, representing the deepest condolences.

After all the worship, Liu Moran performed a sacrificial dance in front of Su Heng's coffin, and the clan members beside him sang a rich tone.Liu Moran was wearing formal attire that weighed several tens of kilograms, and it was not so easy to provoke this dance in that attire.Xiyuan watched from the side, and when Liu Muran jumped to one-third of the way, Xiyuan shouted loudly: "Get out!"

Four big men stood out from the queue, walked to the four corners of the coffin, each held one end, and got ready.The Ziwei people who formed a circle around them stood on both sides of the coffin one after another, making way for a path leading into the cave.Xiyuan's voice pierced through everyone's singing voices, and said, "Aiyo, aiyo, aiyo~! Get up!"

The four big men shouted in unison: "Hey!" and headed for the cave selected in the mountain.When Xiyuan saw that it could be put down, he said in a voice as low as possible: "Ouch~, drop!" So far, Liu Moran's dance has danced two-thirds of the way.

The four big men carrying the coffin said in unison: "Hey!" and dropped the coffin.They stood up and took three steps back, praying towards the coffin, folded their hands together, closed their eyes and bowed their heads. After about a minute, Xiyuan said in the lowest possible voice, "Back!" At this time, the four The big man exited the cave, stood in the team and sang along until Liu Moran's sacrificial dance ended.

After Liu Moran finished dancing, all parts of his body stopped moving, and everyone's chorus also stopped at the same time.Liu Moran slowly lowered his legs, closed his hands, put his palms together in front of his chest, and knelt on the ground, Xi Yuan shouted: "Ah, take it!" All the people slowly lined up and exited the area, Liu Moran He also quickly changed out of the heavy clothes.Seeing that Xiyuan was waiting for him, he hurried over. Liu Moran and Xiyuan walked at the end of the line, and they kept walking without saying a word. When they were far away, Xiyuan praised: "It's perfect, there is no mistake. No, it can be regarded as having completed a task, and can finally return to Cang Qiong Mountain."

"Your voice?" Liu Moran realized that Xi Yuan's voice was a little hoarse.

Xiyuan smiled and waved his hands: "It's nothing, I haven't spoken so hard for a long time, it's just a little hurt."

"Is it because you have been away from Cang Qiong Mountain for too long recently, and your spiritual power is not enough to support your body's consumption, otherwise how could there be any damage?" Liu Moran held Xi Yuan with some concern: "Xi Yuan, don't be too willful, try your best Just do what you want, I know your mind."

"You think too much, I still want to watch the Ziwei clan pass on from generation to generation. When I return to Cang Qiong Mountain, you are busy, so you should worry about yourself!"

The clansmen who had been on the road for more than a month were all very excited when they returned to Cang Qiong Mountain.Going back to Cang Qiong Mountain gave Liu Moran a sense of going home. At least Qu Wu Huaxi is sincerely waiting for him to come back. When he comes back, at least he can see Leng Xuanren. He has been to Wuyin Mountain to see Lian Lishu. Liu Moran has always wanted to see Leng Xuanren, and this mood is increasing by a thousand times at this moment.

Xiyuan has no energy these days, he seems to be really tired, but the closer he gets to Cang Qiong Mountain, the more energetic he looks, Liu Moran knows that this time Xi Yuan has indeed been away from Cang Qiong Mountain for too long, the The snow spirit in the sky can only survive on Cang Qiong Mountain after all.

The Lagerstroemia people greeted them warmly with crape myrtle flowers. The wives and children picked up their husbands and fathers, and the elderly parents picked up their young and strong sons. Everyone was proud of them and felt extremely proud of their return. Happy.Just as Liu Moran sat down in the room and drank some water, he received a message from Elder Yuan Ai asking him to go to Xiyuan and have something to discuss, which seemed urgent.Liu Moran thought of the rumors in the market that he accidentally heard on the roadside, and he knew that something might have happened during their absence. Seeing how cautious the Ziwei clan is now, I hope the Ziwei clan is well.

Liu Moran entered Xiyuan's small courtyard, presumably Xiyuan should be resting, so he walked into the house without making a sound, this place where Liu Moran used to recuperate from his injuries, at that time he did not admit that he was a throwback to the Ziwei clan identity of.Liu Moran looked from room to room and did not see Xi Yuan. In the study, on the desk, there was a book lying flat. The pages of the book were open, and the ink on it was still wet. It looked like someone had just written it.Liu Moran has never heard of Xiyuan's habit of writing, and it seems that he has never seen him write. Out of curiosity, Liu Muran opened the front of the book, and the four big characters of "Ziwei Miscellaneous Records" came into view.

"What are you doing?" Xiyuan entered the house with a herb in his hand, and asked when he saw Liu Moran.

The book in Liu Moran's hand slammed and fell to the ground. Xiyuan looked at the book on the ground. The words "Ziwei Miscellaneous Records" on the cover were very obvious. Xiyuan bent down and picked it up. Eyes meeting Liu Muran's still staring at Xi Yuan, Xi Yuan walked around Liu Muran and put away the book.

Liu Moran asked: ""Ziwei Miscellaneous Records" was compiled by you."

"Yes. Didn't you see it?"

"Xiyuan, you are Xue Ling, so it is impossible for you not to know which time and space I come from, right? You clearly know that I have seen "Ziwei Miscellaneous Records" in that time and space, and it is precisely because of "Ziwei Miscellaneous Records" that I found The solution to the poison of "falling dust" is also because of "Ziwei Miscellaneous Records", I found the sand world site and came here. But remember I once asked you, do you know the sand world? Your answer is that there is no sand world here You wrote "Ziwei Miscellaneous Records", it is impossible for you not to know these things. You deceived me!"

"Yes, my answer is that there is no sand world here. This is the truth. I did not lie to you, Liu Moran." Xiyuan looked at Liu Moran squarely to prove that he did not lie: "I don't know what happened to you in that time and space , my spiritual power is not enough to see through the future, and I, like you, will also be afraid of the unknown." And he took out the "Miscellaneous Records of Ziwei" that he had just collected: "If you don't believe it, just read it yourself, I will It's not finished yet."

Liu Moran took the "Ziwei Miscellaneous Records" half-believingly, and flipped through it hastily, the last record on it was: 'Luochen' was born of love, and was also dissolved by love.People of the Ziwei tribe live in Cangqiong Mountain all the year round and love crape myrtle flowers, so the real antidote is not the antidote refined from Danlan lotus as the main medicinal material, but water that really works.It is the melted snow water on Cangqiong Mountain mixed with crape myrtle flowers, the water that entrusts the love of relatives, so that the people of the crape myrtle tribe who have been to Wuyin Mountain are not poisoned.The poisonous legend of Wuyin Mountain was set up by the gods to protect the buried heroic spirits from being disturbed. Only those with the direct lineage of the Ziwei clan who are full of love in their hearts can escape completely.Otherwise, if you leave the Wuyin Mountain, you will be poisoned by the "fallen dust". The best way to survive is to stay in the Wuyin Mountain to guard your spirit until you die of old age.

Liu Moran turned a page and saw: I think, if it is born of love, then can another antidote be prepared, according to the origin of "Luo Chen", it can be mixed with the tears of the fire unicorn and the petals of the snowy demon lotus. For medicinal purposes, it's a pity that there are no more snowy demon lotuses.

The above is the last text, Liu Moran said: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't doubt you like this. You didn't deceive me, that is to say, many things I saw in "Ziwei Miscellaneous Records" have not happened yet, such as the Ruins."

Xiyuan nodded faintly, and Qingya returned calmly: "So you have to learn to use your power to solve the catastrophe of the Ziwei clan, and the disaster caused by the gods in the sky to punish the Ziwei clan."

"Can I really do it?" Liu Moran asked.

"You can, because the cause of the catastrophe ten thousand years ago can be said to be caused by you. You have to tie the bell to untie it, so you have to do it." Xi Yuan patted him on the shoulder.Liu Moran closed his eyes, then opened them again and said, "I'm here to tell you that Elder Yuan Ai is coming soon, as if he has something important to say."
