red and white

In the dream, the color of blood continued, and a fire burned the green hills all over.

Mu Gesheng sat by the window for a long time before he was sure that he really woke up from the illusion.

Everything in his memory seemed like a lifetime away—he and Chai Shuxin stayed in the Yin-Yang ladder for a long time, until Xiao Fengzi and others became the first batch of Yin soldiers, and then Chai Shuxin opened the Yin-Yang ladder again, and the two left.

He originally thought that Chai Shuxin would go to Kunlun immediately to join the second and third child, but the other party went in the direction of Penglai.Mu Gesheng thought at first that he was rushing to participate in the cremation of his body, but the fact was quite the opposite.

It was not his body that was cremated, but the entire Penglai.

Chai Shuxin seemed to have completely lost his mind the moment he stepped into the mountain gate, severely injured his disciples, set fire to the mountain, and the long mountain road was full of blood, as if it had become a second Yin-Yang ladder.The opponent attacked wildly but calmly. The Penglai disciples who fought with him were wounded and retreated, but none of them died.

Until the painting can't be shot.

Changshengzi and Luochazi fought for a day and a night, Penglai turned into a sea of ​​flames, the situation changed, and the sky was turned upside down.

"you're awake."

Someone pushed the door open and walked in. It was Lin Juansheng who was dressed in Tsing Yi and brushed the dust.

Mu Gesheng looked at the other party, unable to regain his senses for a while.

In the last scene of the illusion, Chai Shuxin fell into the deep sea after failing to paint, and Chai Shuxin walked down the long steps with bloodstains, only one person stopped him in front of the mountain gate.

Chai Shuxin looked at Lin Juansheng who was standing with a sword, shook his head, and said flatly: "I won't kill you."

And the only answer to him was the sound of whistling swords.

"You're awake." Lin Juansheng held a medicine bowl and handed it to Mu Gesheng, "You've been in a coma for many days."

Mu Gesheng was still in a trance, and after a while he said: "...He didn't kill you?"

Lin Juansheng paused, and smiled wryly: "It seems that you know everything."

Lin Juansheng told what happened in the past few days one by one. The mirage collapsed that day. In a hurry, he had to take Mugesheng out of the realm of water and sky. Because Mugesheng was still unconscious, he was temporarily placed in Penglai.

"The timing of your coma is too good, so I speculate that there may be something in the Pan Geng oracle bone." Lin Juansheng took out something and handed it to Mu Gesheng. It was the Pan Geng oracle bone that he brought out from the mirage that day. "I tried some methods and found that there are traces of illusion left on it."

"I dreamed about some things from that year." Mu Gesheng said, "It all happened after my death."

Lin Juansheng sighed, "Sure enough."

"So... I didn't kill you for three or nine days?"

"No." Lin Juansheng shook his head, "But I was not Rakshazi's opponent at that time. After being seriously injured, I rested for many years. During this period, Penglai slowly recovered. The birthplace."

"I didn't intend to tell you." He said softly, "It's all been a long time ago."

Mu Gesheng was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "The inheritance of Lingshuzi was cut off because Sanjiutian was under the curse of heaven, and this led to the decline of the seven schools of thought."

Lin Juansheng was taken aback, "Who did you hear that from?"

"It's not important." Mu Gesheng shook his head, looked at Lin Juansheng, and said, "Brother, tell me the truth."

"The reason why Sanjiutian bears the heavenly curse is because he did something against the heavens - did he kill the eldest son?"

Lin Juansheng was silent for a long time, until the answer was obvious.

Muge Changchang sighed: "I understand."

"You have a special constitution, and you just woke up from the illusion, so you need to rest." Lin Juansheng said, "You should stay in Penglai for a while, don't worry too much."

"I also want to rest. There are still a lot of things to do." Mu Gesheng stood up holding the window sill, "The mirage collapses, and the seven schools of thought are bound to be in chaos. The juniors are too young, so I have to be here."

"Frozen three feet is not a one-day cold, nor is the decline of the seven schools of thought." Lin Juansheng sighed, "You have done enough."

Mu Gesheng didn't speak, he opened the door, only to see the mountains covered with snow.

Only then did he realize that this is Jiange.

"You haven't been here yet. Although the Jiange has the name of the sword, it was originally filled with books." Lin Juansheng walked to him, "Later, the fire in Penglai burned a lot, and the rest were transferred to Tibet. Jingge."

"There are so many volumes in the Cangjing Pavilion, it should be a place you will like." Lin Juansheng said: "You haven't seen Penglai well, this time I have the opportunity, I will show you around."

Mu Gesheng shook his head, "No need."

Although he has never been there in person, he has already seen them one by one.

"Brother." Mu Gesheng turned around, looked at Lin Juansheng, "play a game of chess with me."

How long has it been since they played chess? 80 years? 90 years?

Mu Gesheng gave birth to a son, and remembered that he helped his master to a difficult game that day, and he narrowly won half an eye, so Song Wentong had to slaughter the chicken he had raised so hard, and Chai Shuxin helped cook a pot of pork belly and chicken hanging Soup.

That was the last game of the two of them.

In the next hundred years, they will be separated by thousands of miles, even separated by yin and yang.

"In fact, I never understood the reason for the discord between the two of you." Mu Gesheng said: "I didn't say anything for three or nine days."

"Luo Shazi has reason to hate Penglai." Lin Juansheng gave birth to a son, "You have reason to hate me, Junior Brother."

"Brother, I thought there was no need to talk about this between us."

"I made a slip of the tongue." Lin Juan smiled, "What about you, what are you going to do next?"

Mu Gesheng thought for a moment, and said, "I don't know how long I can live. The remaining life of my life determines how much I can do."

"Although I guessed that this heavenly curse would be very troublesome, I didn't expect it to be so exaggerated. It is indeed something that can be done in three or nine days." Mu Gesheng said with a sigh, "Lingshuzi's inheritance has been cut off, and the seven disciples have already done it." The family is in decline, I will try my best to find a way to solve these things, and see if I can solve them."

Lin Juansheng was a little surprised, "You want to help Luo Shazi?"

"Otherwise?" Mu Gesheng was helpless, "The things he did can be regarded as unforgivable crimes in the seven schools of thought. If I don't help him, who else can do it?"

As he spoke, he sighed again, "No matter what, I won't sit idly by."

"Junior brother." Lin Juansheng said: "You have to understand that it is almost impossible to break the curse."

"I know, so I will do my best." Mu Gesheng looked at the chessboard, and suddenly said: "By the way, if it is really impossible, can I die with him?"

Lin Juusheng gave his hand a pause, and the chess pieces fell to the board with a clatter.

"I know it's not easy for Rakshazi to die, but maybe it's possible to add a sky fortune teller. If everyone is dead, will the sky curse disappear?"

Lin Juansheng seemed to be stopped by his question, and he said after a long time: "Junior Brother, if your chess skills are not as good as before, I will think you have hurt your brain."

Mu Gesheng was a little surprised, "Is this also okay?"

"It's not a question of whether you can do it or not." Lin Juansheng didn't know how to organize his words for a while, "You are a fortune teller...why are you here?"

"Even if Luo Shazi saved you before, you have helped him a lot, and you both owe him nothing." Lin Juansheng said, "You may not know what the curse means, and it is already a kindness to help him. gone."

"Let's not talk about the positions of the seven schools of thought." He said in a soft voice, "You are my junior brother, and compared to others, what I care about is your life."

"I know that you, brother, are looking towards me." Mu Gesheng said: "But after so many years, three or nine days are indeed very important to me."

Lin Juansheng was slightly taken aback.

"Except for the second and third child, he accompanied me all this way."

"In the wind and snow, even passers-by can walk side by side." Lin Juansheng disagreed, "He is wishful thinking, you shouldn't trap yourself with this, let alone there is no promise between you."

"Life and death have long been agreed upon." Muge Sheng said leisurely, "Why do you need to talk to Zicheng?"

Lin Juansheng was completely speechless, looking at Mugesheng's eyes as if looking at the idiot son of a landlord's family, hopelessly, "...What kind of ecstasy potion did Rakshazi pour on you?"

"The medicine he boiled was so bitter that dogs wouldn't even drink it." Mu Gesheng gave birth to a son, "Don't look at me like that, senior brother, maybe I can really find a way to undo the curse. What I said just now was just a bad idea."

"...Forget it, I can't say no to you." Lin Juansheng looked at the chessboard, and finally made a move, "I will think of a way about the curse, don't rush to die."

"I knew it." Mu Gesheng propped his chin with a smile: "It's better to be a brother."

"There have been a lot of disturbances in the outside world recently. I will send someone to sort out the news and send it up later. Don't move around."

"Understood." Mu Gesheng waved his hand, "Let's bring some food, I'm hungry."

"I'll go and see if there's any meat in the dining room." Lin Juansheng sighed, "Don't grab the white cranes, it's really not good."

Lin Juansheng told Mu Gesheng to rest. Of course, this man could not be obedient. As soon as the other party left, he would go down the mountain immediately.

However, the Jiange road is too long, and it will take at least a day and a night to walk down from the top of the mountain. Mu Gesheng simply grabbed a white crane and rode away on the crane to ride the wind.

He didn't leave Penglai directly, but searched everywhere first, the rare treasures from Yaotai, the gold and silver from Qionglou, and even took a handful of scratches from an elder's house, and packed them in bits and pieces. A big bag was so heavy that the white crane could hardly fly.

There are restrictions in Penglai, it is easy to go out and difficult to come in, even if he is a fortune teller, he can't come in and out freely, so he should make enough money before leaving.

Even if you don't know what the outside world is like today, no matter what the era, more money is always better.

However, Mu Gesheng remembered that the access control in Penglai was quite loose back then, but now it has become more severe, probably because Chai Shuxin's trespassing the mountain gate back then left too deep a psychological shadow on everyone.

When he finally felt that it was almost done, he decided to go to the dining room to find something to eat before leaving. He couldn't openly walk through the main entrance and picked up his old job that he hadn't used for many years - stealing chickens and dogs, you must climb over the wall.

However, perhaps because he hadn't used his hands and feet for many years, Mu Gesheng just jumped off the wall and hit someone, "Fuck! You are going to die!"

The other party was a young man, dressed in the attire of a Penglai disciple, and his voice sounded familiar no matter how familiar it was. Mu Gesheng grabbed him by the collar—it was Wu Biyou.

"Stupid girl?"

"Don't die!"

When Ubi saw him, he yelled, "I've found you!"

"Why did you run to Penglai?" Mu Gesheng let go of the other party, "Why are you looking for your father?"

Wu Biyou held a chicken leg in his hand, and obviously came to steal it. The other party put his hands behind his back, covered his ears and said, "I've been looking for you for half a fucking month! I have business! Come with me!"

"Shut up, be careful not to attract outsiders." Mu Gesheng threw the burden behind him with one hand, and pulled Wu Biyou with the other, "There are too many people here, let's talk in another place."

The two ran to a remote place, and Muge Sheng walked away with the chicken leg in Ubiyou's hand, and said while eating, "Tell me, what do you want from me?"

Wubi must have looked for him for a serious business, and it was extremely urgent, otherwise this kid would not have staged the drama of searching for his relatives across thousands of miles-the round trip is enough for him to suffer hundreds of secondary illnesses.

"You've been missing for more than half a year!" Ubi said, "You didn't even say hello! If I don't look for you, who would I look for?" The young man was furious, "Since you're awake, why didn't you come back?"

"I just woke up today." Mu Gesheng gestured to the big burden on his back, "I'm going to pack up my belongings and go home. By the way, how did you get in?"

"Anping has a Penglai Jade Plaque in his hand, which can lift the restriction. I have been looking for you for half a month, and I have even searched the hut. Where are you?"

"I sleep in a relatively high place, and it takes a day and a night to go up at the fastest." Mu Gesheng pointed to the Jiange in the distance, "Given your height, my daughter, it may be slower."

Wu Biyou was so angry that he could not speak, grabbed Mu Gesheng's wrist and walked out.

"Girl, walk slowly, it is not advisable to exercise vigorously after meals." Mu Gesheng said, "Where are we going?"

"Go to Shiyi High School." Ubi said, "My dad left something for you there."
