[Gu Jian III] The Days I Worked in Xuanyuan Hill

Bei Luo told me with practical actions why they were traveling so fast - he is to ward off evil spirits, and he can jump directly with the crack.

The only flaw is that compared to his ancestor Cangyan, Beiluo is just a weak-backed kid, the distance of each jump is not far, and after crossing, he has to pretend to be cold and rest for half an hour with kidney deficiency.

Just stop and go, we didn't rest all night, and finally arrived outside Xiling City at noon the next day.

The sky was gloomy gray, and iron-blue thick clouds pressed low over the collapsed city. The tall city wall had been covered by thick vines, but the remaining burnt marks on the city wall could still be seen.Two thick stone gates closed the city, just like the people in the city defended the city and fought to the death.

A petite figure was floating in front of the city gate. She slammed into the city gate again and again, and various spells greeted her, but the city gate remained motionless.

"Si Wei?" I called out.

She turned her head suddenly, and when she saw me, and Ji Xuanyuan and the other four behind her, her eyes were suddenly ignited with deep-seated hatred.

"Ji Xuanyuan!" She gritted her teeth and said, every word seemed to be soaked in the juice of hatred.However, she didn't rush up immediately, Si Wei stood there and clenched his fists tightly for a while, then turned his head suddenly, continuing to attack the door as if he didn't see us.

"Is Wu Yan in there?" I walked over and asked because my relationship with her might not be bad enough.

"none of your business!"

"Why is it none of my business? Anyway, I'm also Wu Yan's friend, so I'm here to care..."

"Friend? Heh, Xiling doesn't have a friend like you!"

"...All right, not counting as friends, then..." I thought for a while, "Shop friends? Anyway, we once slept in adjacent coffins in the same tomb, by the way, you were there at the time, weren't you?" What a coincidence, the three of us are shop friends!"

"..." Si Wei was so angry that he couldn't speak, he suddenly turned his head and continued to attack those two doors.

I reluctantly turned my head to look at Jinyun and the others, rolled up my sleeves and planned to help open the door, but Ji Xuanyuan stopped me.

"It's useless, Wu Yan used Xiling's original formation to seal the city gate. I can help you open it for a while, but..."

Si Wei turned his head abruptly.Although he didn't speak, his eyes were amazingly bright.

Ji Xuanyuan continued as if he didn't realize it: "...But, you can only go in by yourself."

"Why?" Si Wei yelled, "I... this is Xiling City, why is she the only one who can enter? She deserves it too?!"

"Because she is the only one who has Fuxi's blood." Ji Xuanyuan said calmly, "Wuzhen is a closed city that has been improved by using the original Xiling formation. I can't completely unlock it. Even if it is opened for a moment, only Changning's The body can resist the pressure of the formation. Others, even Jinyun, are at great risk to pass this gate."

Si Weiji bit his lip in resentment, and glared at me angrily, but there was nothing he could do.

"Are you ready?" Ji Xuanyuan asked me.

I swallowed my saliva and wiped the sweat from my palms due to nervousness.Just as I was about to step forward, Jinyun grabbed my hand.

He stared at me with unprecedentedly complex and serious eyes, like a soldier sending off to war, and also a bit... a bit like a grandma sending her husband to the room.

...What the hell kind of eye description is this? !

"Be careful." Jin Yun said in a low voice, "Just try your best. If Wu Yan is obsessed with his obsession, don't bother with his unreasonable demands."

"Well, I understand." I replied solemnly, "Wu Yan is just a brat, have you forgotten the first time I had a conflict with him? Just give him a good beating if it doesn't work out, I won't spoil him! "

"I'm not..." Jinyun's lips moved, and finally he sighed as if giving up, and said, "Be careful in everything."

I turned around, tightened my belt, and strode forward. When I passed by Si Wei, I heard her say in a low voice: "I still hate you...but, Wu Yan doesn't hate you. Don't let him down."

I always feel that their Xiling may be rich in Tsundere.

I didn't speak any more, and the moment Ji Xuanyuan's reminder came out, the two solid stone doors in front of me turned into a gray nothingness.I took a deep breath and strode into the void.

At that moment, it was as if I was thrown into the deep sea all at once, and the pressure from all directions forced me. I only felt that it was difficult to breathe, dizzy, and every inch of my bones seemed to be rattling.In a trance, I finally understood what Ji Xuanyuan meant by "Only Chang Ning can bear it" - if it was Si Wei's delicate little girl, she might have been crushed to a pulp by now.

Fortunately, the pressure was only for a moment, and when my eyes lit up again, I was already standing in Xiling City.In front of him was a familiar statue of a severed head.

The bloody Xiling seen in Wu Yan's dream has completely changed.The ruins are still there, the desolation is still there, but it is no longer the blood in the dream.The collapsed limestone walls were covered by verdant plants, the sky was gray, and the tragic past was all buried in the desolate desolation.

I walked up to the stone statue and looked up, thinking about the plot of the game. This statue should be the so-called human sacrifice. It was Hou Zhai, the Xiling man who persuaded Jinyun to kill Wuzhen, who made himself a statue and erected it here because of guilt.

I sighed in my heart, bypassed him and continued to move forward.

Although I have been to Xiling back then, the city is so ruined that I can't see what it looked like back then. I can only use my memory of running the map in the previous game to explore where Wu Yan might be.After walking for about half an hour, I hesitated and stopped.

There was a collapsed house in front of me. I looked around and fell into a low-pressure silence.

At this moment, a familiar voice suddenly came from the ear.

"Recognized?"

"Wu Yan!" I raised my head suddenly, looking left and right, "Where are you?! Come out quickly, I've come here all the time, don't hide and shut yourself up!"

As if he didn't hear me, he continued on his own: "You were recuperating in this room at the beginning. The Xuanyuanqiu warrior who was injured to the point of death when he came to Xiling for the first time, I have seen you before." the first one."

...It's not to protect you!Wouldn't it hurt if you mocked your conscience here? !

"At that time, Lei Zu was still there, the Hall of Witches was still there, and Xiling was still there..." His voice gradually dropped, as if he was lost in memory.

I waited for a long time, and finally couldn't help raising my hand and asked: "Well, Wu Yan, I think you may be thinking too much, I didn't recognize where this is at all, I was just... lost."

silence.

"...You see, I have worked so hard to find you, can you give me some hints? How should I go to your place?"

It’s really not my fault, I still got lost several times when there was a mini-map in the game, now it’s purely based on feeling, maybe I didn’t find the way to him until Wu Yan got impatient and committed suicide the road.

I waited expectantly for a long time, but Wu Yan might have fallen ill with the princess, and he really regarded himself as a princess who had nothing to do and was waiting for Super Mario to save him, so he hung up the phone ruthlessly without saying a word.

Without a small map, I continued to search for the way to save the princess alone.

However, after Wu Yan's reminder of the location just now, I gradually remembered something.Starting from the hut where I used to recuperate, the fragments of memory were slowly pieced together, and I also clearly remembered what happened at that time.Jinyun Wuzhang and I rushed to help Xiling, and found the traces of Xiling outside Xiling City. I was stabbed by Xie Yao and passed through here to recuperate. Then I followed Wuzhang to visit Xiling City for the first time.

Go out of the house and take the suspended elevator.At that time, I was riding on the Xie Yao's back and holding Wu Yan's cloak, complaining to him about his poor aesthetics, but he flicked the cloak angrily and threw me down.

The destroyed platform was where Xiling soldiers practiced at that time. I used to play a [-]v[-] here.

Going forward is the direction of Wu Zhi Tang, where I met Si Wei for the first time. It was her birthday, and I gave her the flute made by Wu Zong, and welcomed Wu Zong's yin and yang aura and confinement.

...Wu Yan, why are all the memories you left me full of yin and yang, why don't you think about self-reflection?

The more I thought about it, the angrier I became, I suddenly had infinite power, and angrily walked along the road of memories. After killing a few demons, my eyes suddenly lit up, and a vast sea of ​​flowers appeared in front of me.

The white flowers with small petals timidly protruded from the ground, stretching under the gray sky until they reached the base of the city wall of Xiling.This is a scene that has never happened thousands of years ago. Gentle life covers the desolate ruins. They don't know what happened here, they just grow innocently and stubbornly.

Wu Yan was standing in the middle of the sea of ​​flowers, when he heard my voice, he turned his head.

"You came."

No question, no anger, he was as calm as he was many years ago.In the days when Jinyun fell into the Demon Realm, I was on a business trip for Cangyan’s dog food. Every time I returned to Xuanyuanqiu, he would turn around like this and calmly say these three words to me.

My footsteps involuntarily slowed down, and my voice suddenly became very soft.

"Yes, here I am."
