The mountain ghost blows out the lights

While the few people were talking, He Rong's body color also kept getting lighter.

He was originally translucent when he came out of the fire, but now the color has faded, as if he accidentally dropped a drop of ink into the brush washer, but the fading speed is not fast, and it is still difficult to detect.

However, Shen Lianxing's and Yan Jinping's senses are both first-class and sharp, no matter how subtle the change is, it can't be hidden from their eyes.

The young man acted as if he didn't feel the changes in his body at all. He just squatted down gently and touched the ground with his fingers.

The ground in the cave is now completely covered by vines, and the original transparent ice layer cannot be seen. He Rong's hand was blocked from the vines, and he was not surprised, but instead pressed his palm on the ground and closed his eyes. squinted.

"...What's wrong?" Shen Lianxing asked He Rong.

"I'm listening." He Rong stood up, rubbed his fingers lightly, and explained, "Listen to the voices of my... clansmen."

Yan Jinping was not surprised: "Did you hear anything?"

"No." He Rong smiled shyly, "They have already completed their mission, and they probably left when I came out."

He laughed again: "It's fine to leave, they've been trapped here for so long, and it's so uncomfortable, if I were them, I wouldn't want to stay here any longer."

Yan Jinping looked down, but saw nothing, so he said softly, "What is...under the ice?"

As early as when he entered the cave, he had noticed that there were other existences under the ice layer, which did not look like monsters or seals. To put it bluntly, they were somewhat similar to wraiths between yin and yang.

It can be said to be a resentful spirit, but he has no resentment, so he mentioned the river outside Bahuang to test Venado.Vinado couldn't understand what he was talking about, but she could tell from the reaction that she must understand what was going on.

The topic was diverted by Venado last time, but now He Rong took the initiative to bring it up.

Venado was unwilling to mention it, but He Rong did not shy away from talking about it.In his view, this is a proof of the heroism of his fellow countrymen, what is there to hide?

He explained: "Since you came here with Venado, you should be someone she trusts very much. You must have heard her tell me how the fuel for the clean fire comes from?"

Of course they knew that it was the souls of 53 Everspring Valley people who voluntarily burned.

"The... bodies of our people are frozen under the ice layer." After the two nodded, He Rong said again, "Sealing the body under the ice layer can somewhat stabilize the soul This is what I heard from the priest, that is, Venado's mother. As for the specific connection, I don't really understand."

He had already rushed into the fire at that time, and managed to retain his sanity, but he only heard a few words from the priestess, and he didn't really see how they operated.

I only remember that between the twilight and the severe pain, someone seemed to say to him over and over again: "He Rong, just hold on... I will come back to liberate everyone soon, I'm sorry, you hold on, please hold on."

He heard it, so this insistence persisted for so many years.

Even on the verge of collapse, the last line has not been relaxed.

Yan Jinping was thoughtful.

No wonder Venado persuaded them not to go in the middle of the cave.

It turns out that down there...

Shen Lianxing said softly, "It's amazing."

"What?" He Rong asked subconsciously, as if he hadn't reacted, "Who is amazing?"

Obviously, he didn't think about himself at all, and thought he understood what Shen Lianxing was saying, he nodded and said in agreement: "Indeed, my compatriots are all great warriors, and I am proud of them."

"It's not just them." Shen Lianxing shook his head and said to He Rong, "You too."

In fact, neither Venado nor Heron told much about their own stories.

Their narration is biased and directed. Both of them are emphasizing the achievements of each other and their clansmen. As for what they have done, it seems that it is not important to them personally, and it can even be said that it is not worth mentioning.

Yan Jinping and Shen Lianxing could only deduce the whole picture of the accident that happened a hundred years ago from sporadic words.

Even the fragments are so shocking.

He Rong is not the same as Venado.

Venado seems to feel very guilty for her people. Maybe during the 80 years of being alone in this snow-capped mountain, she has been blaming herself, why she couldn't find a way earlier, and why she clearly hoped that she was close at hand. powerless.

She didn't want to mention them, as if she was uncovering her scars that had been dusty for many years, but she didn't want their stories to be buried here quietly in ice and snow, so she avoided talking about them all the way, and at the last moment, she chose to let everything They all informed Shen Lianxing and Yan Jinping.

Heron's idea is much simpler.

He is not a great person. When Mother Venado taught the children in the tribe to read, he always didn't want to hear it, so he ran away secretly and climbed to the tree at the entrance of the sealed cave to sleep.

Because of this, he was the first to discover the collapse of the seal.

Many things in this world happen only in a split second, and as the person facing the disaster directly, he has no time to think.

He Rong couldn't think of the righteous words of serving the souls of the world and future generations. Even if he asked him now, he couldn't tell what thoughts were going through his mind at that time—or maybe he didn't think of anything and gave it to him somewhere. What about the time to weigh the pros and cons?

He Rong didn't think he was so great, he wanted to do it, so he did it.Although there were some small mistakes in the middle, the result was good.

This is enough for him.

When Shen Lianxing praised him, he just listened, scratched his head in embarrassment, and lowered his head.

"Then." The boy thought of something again, and asked the two nervously, "Do you know where the rest of our tribe went? They won't stay on this snow-capped mountain, right?"

That's right, he died too early, not knowing that a new Evergreen City had been built outside the snow-capped mountains.

"They moved away." Yan Jinping replied simply, "Now they live on the outskirts of the snow-capped mountains and have built a new city called Changqing."

He Rong asked again: "Are they living well?"

"It's okay." Yan Jinping said, "Although it's a bit cold, they are living happily."

The evergreens are hospitable and united, accustomed to a new way of life and forgetting their less pleasant past.Regardless of whether those forgettings are voluntary or not, the smiles are sincere, they have no history that must be remembered, and they travel lightly without burden.

"What about her?"

He Rong didn't mention his name, but everyone knew that he wanted to ask Venado.

Yan Jinping: ...

He didn't like lying very much, but it would be too cruel to tell the young man in front of him the truth at this time, so he kept silent and looked at Shen Lianxing, frowning slightly.

Shen Lianxing didn't show any hesitation on the surface, but in fact he didn't feel well in his heart.He thought for a while, and could only avoid the important thing and said lightly: "She also accomplished what she wanted to do, so she left."

"That's good." Knowing this, He Rong didn't ask any more questions, and smiled contentedly.

He just turned to Yan Jinping and said, "Is there any more of your dreamy fragrance?"

"Before I leave, I want to see the moon during the sacrifice again."

Take another look at my hometown under the moon.

And in the valley... the girls dancing around the campfire.

……

Yan Jinping ordered another spring and autumn for He Rong.

He Rong's soul is already very weak.Maybe it's his obsession with his hometown and Vinado that made him persist for so long after leaving Jinghuo, but he is destined to leave after all, no matter how hard he tries, he can only stay in this world for a while A moment like that cannot be extended.

He didn't intend to prolong it either, and quietly closed his eyes amidst the lingering smoke.

Yan Jinping and Shen Lianxing watched He Rong's body disappear little by little until it was completely transparent.

The spring and autumn are in the arms, and the soul is scattered.

Life and death are but a dream.

"Let's go?" Shen Lianxing asked.

"Let's go." Yan Jinping said.

The way down the mountain is much easier than up the mountain.

After all, the annoying spider is gone, and this road has been walked again, and then just return to the original road.

The two walked out of the cave, the sun was still shining outside the cave, but...

"Ajin, have you noticed?" Shen Lianxing stretched out his right hand, spread out his palm in the sun and felt it for a while, then turned his head and said to Yan Jinping, "There seems to be something different?"

Indeed, not only is the direction of the sun different from before, but the sun shines on people, and after a while, they can feel a little heat.

The fake sun in the enchantment will only light up, but will not generate heat.

Yan Jinping looked up and concluded, "The barrier is disappearing."

The time that has been stagnated in Daxueshan for 100 years restarts, like a stagnant gear, slowly and firmly turning again.

It doesn't have to be locked up here anymore.

When they were in the cave before, the two could vaguely hear some strange sounds.Now it comes out, the sound is louder, and you can directly see how the sound is made.

The snow on the top of Longin Mountain cracked into clumps of various sizes and shapes, and they slid down with the slight tremor of the mountain. When they were in the cave, they almost all fell to the foot of the mountain. They are all piled up together, but the size is not so terrifying, it is more like a lower hill, very harmless.

It may also be those plants, which push hard rocks from the inside of the mountain, absorbing sunlight and air without hesitation, and of course need to absorb a lot of water in order to grow stronger.

It may not be enough for the immortal to intercept the section of the dark river under Mount Longin.

Obviously, only vines emerged from Venado's body at that time, but now the newly grown ones include many varieties.Most are trees, some flowers and plants, but not many.The trees trembled with their trunks, and grew and matured at a speed visible to the naked eye, perhaps because their root systems were from the same source. Although there was no soil, they also held the ground very firmly.

I saw a few thick vines, tied the spiders that had escaped before, and dragged them back to the cracks in the ground. They could not see the light of day again, and then they firmly buried the cave with Jinghuo on the third floor. The outer three layers are wrapped to make it look like an ordinary rock wall.

Only the Longines had changed, the wind blowing through the valley and new vegetation covering the hills.

There is no evergreen valley here, no monsters, only evergreen seasons from now on.

Never change again.
