Daoist, stay safe

Zhang Xiyan had a very long nightmare.

She dreamed that Zhangjia Village was gone, she put down the dragon-breaking stone, and the ancestral mausoleum collapsed to the point where only a black prison and a library were buried deep at the bottom of the mountain. In the caves of Gu and Miasma, they prey on other Gu and practice Gu and Taoism.The cave is very big, as big as a valley, with many bottomless ravines and pits, which seem to lead to hell, and a large number of Gu species live and multiply on the cave wall.She has never had a cave with such a rich variety of species, nor has she encountered such a dangerous place. Death and the desperate struggle against Gu.There is no food and no fresh air here, except for the highly poisonous bacteria that are covered with Gu liquid, which is Gu, and the only way to survive is to feed on Gu.

There are many places in the cave that are very strange, as if there is some special magnetic field that interferes with the gravity to cause weightlessness, just like stepping into space.In that place, you can even see the starry sky, the Big Dipper, and the Milky Way.The Gus there are very powerful, she dare not stay for long.

She wandered aimlessly in the cave and preyed on other Gu species, and later passed through a miasma, and saw a large puddle of dark green water full of Gu insects. There was a huge cocoon in the puddle, as long as a person, It is oval in shape, vaguely, and a figure can be seen inside.The inexplicable kindness made her feel like crying.She sat by the Gu pool for a long time before leaving.

Sometimes she would have dreams within dreams, of her family members, of her parents, grandpa, great-grandfather, and third aunt, and of relatives at home. She would feel very uncomfortable in her sleep, extremely sad, but she couldn't even cry.

Later, she met a big Gu that had been raised by someone and still had a Gu tripod.The Gu was seriously injured, its skin and flesh were festered, but it always stubbornly wanted to give the Gu cauldron to her, and then got into the Gu cauldron and curled up. When a powerful Gu came to attack her, it would ignore Hurt came out to protect her.She looked for Gu medicine to heal its wounds, and it followed her all the time. When moving, it would bring Gu Ding by her side, and at other times it liked to get into her clothes and stick it on her chest.She named the big Gu pig's trotters, although it was more like a ham sausage, but for some reason, she always thought it should be called pig's trotters.

As time went by, she walked through many places in the cave, and gradually figured out the distribution of species inside and the situation everywhere, knowing where there is delicious food and where there are dangers to avoid.There are always many people in her mind, but gradually she can't remember their names, and she doesn't know who they are.If you don't want to, it won't be so uncomfortable.

Gradually, she had a feeling that she had forgotten a lot of things, but when she thought about it, she couldn't remember what happened, but there was always a kind of sadness covering her, and she couldn't tell why she was sad.A blurry figure always appeared in her mind, as if a young woman was calling her Zhang Shisan, and sometimes calling her Baby Xiyan, that was another very complicated emotion, and she would subconsciously think , Is she okay, is she alive?But she didn't know who that person was, or even whether there was such a person in the world.She thought, probably there is no one, she is the only one here.Probably because I was too lonely, I fantasized about having my own kind.

Until one day, she really saw the same kind.

She woke up startled in her sleep, and when she looked up, she saw a young woman in a moon-white robe standing in front of her and looking down at her, her eyes were so complicated that she couldn't understand.She was good-looking and gave her a very friendly feeling, as if they had known each other and were very close.She looked up at the woman, not knowing how to react or what to say.

When Zhang Jiaoyan woke up from retreat, she saw that there were a lot less Gu species in the black prison, there were traces of human activities, and there were many footprints on her feet. From the size and shape, she could be sure that it was a woman's feet, and the shape of her feet was excellent.There are only a handful of people who can survive in the dark prison, and the first thing she thought of was Zhang Xiyan, but she was not sure, because Zhang Xiyan actually had a lot of problems, and she also had a little cleanliness, wandering around in the dark prison with bare feet It's not like what Zhang Xiyan can do.

There were too many footprints everywhere, but it was not easy to find someone. She wandered around and found no one, so she went out of the cave.Whether Zhang Xiyan went to the black prison to practice, you can find out when you go out.However, when she left the prison, what she saw was the deformed bronze gate and the broken dragon stone that had been put down.She turned around and went back to the dark cell, and after searching for a long time, she finally found Zhang Xiyan who was leaning against a rock and sleeping soundly in a corner.

If it wasn't for the Gu tripod next to it and the pig's trotters guarding it, she would hardly dare to recognize it.

Zhang Xiyan, who always loves cleanliness, is so dirty that she can't even tell her skin color. Her long, silky hair is so dirty that it's messed up like a chicken coop. Her clothes are full of holes. A dishcloth that hasn't been washed for three years is cleaner than her clothes. , The shoes, backpack, and sword are all gone, and the whole person is no different from those wandering lunatics before.Zhang Xiyan looked at her with sizing up to a stranger, as if he no longer knew her.Even if she regained her youthful appearance, how could Zhang Xiyan not recognize her after seeing her photos?The only explanation right now is that something is wrong with Zhang Xiyan's brain.

She asked Zhang Xiyan: "Do you know me?"

Zhang Xiyan felt familiar, but couldn't remember where she saw it, so she replied, "I forgot."

Zhang Jiaoyan almost laughed angrily at her: You still know that you forgot.She asked Zhang Xiyan: "What happened?"

Many blurry images appeared in Zhang Xiyan's mind, she couldn't see clearly, and she didn't dare to look carefully, it seemed that it would make her very uncomfortable and sad.She only vaguely saw a big fire, a burning village, and many people died, some wearing primitive tribal costumes, and some couldn't see clearly. She couldn't see people, but only saw ashes all over the ground.She thought it was an illusion.

After a while, the woman got up and said, "Get up and follow me." The fierce tone made her a little scared for no reason, but also a little relieved.A skeleton-like figure suddenly flashed across her mind, as terrifying as a ghost.

Inexplicably, she felt that this man was trustworthy, so she silently followed behind her.

The pig's trotter held up the Gu tripod, and slowly followed Zhang Xiyan's side, and when he was tired from flying, he rested the Gu tripod on Zhang Xiyan's shoulder to rest.

Zhang Jiaoyan couldn't hold back and turned her head to take a closer look at the pig's trotters. The chubby Gu ancestor had lost more than one-third of his body, and his body was covered with scars. With its resilience, it could still leave so many profound memories. The discolored scar on the foot shows the seriousness of the injury at that time.

She led Zhang Xiyan through the dark cell and went out by another way.

When the two of them reached the edge of the prison, Zhang Xiyan stopped and refused to go any further.

Zhang Jiaoyan ignored Zhang Xiyan, went straight through the miasma to the underground river, jumped into the river, and went upstream against the current.

Zhang Xiyan was standing beside Gu Miasma, she subconsciously wanted to turn around, but she couldn't move, a voice told her in her mind that she should go out.

She is used to this place, to such dreams, after going out, she will wake up, will she face some terrible things?

She doesn't want to wake up.

How can a person sleep forever.Running away will never solve the problem.The things she deliberately forgot, even if she forgot, didn't mean they didn't exist, or didn't happen.

She passed through the miasma, walked through underground rivers, passed through caves and phantom formations, and then crawled for a long time in a deep and narrow cave, and finally climbed out of a cave less than one meter high.The entrance of the cave collapsed, but the stones were all broken, and a passage was forcibly dug out.

In July and August, the weather was hot, and the glare of the sun made it hard for her to keep her eyes open.She squinted and blocked the light with her hands, and it took her a while to adjust to the light.

Standing next to the woman she had just met, there was a crop field not far away. The two of them were standing on a small barren slope, the ground was full of rocks and the land was barren, not suitable for growing crops, so it was abandoned here.A little further away are villages and country roads with vehicles and pedestrians.She said: "My name is Zhang Xiyan, I don't know how you call me?"

Zhang Jiaoyan said: "I am your third aunt."

If it wasn't for the tone being too familiar and sophisticated for her age to make her believe it subconsciously, she really wanted to say, I'm still your ancestor, but she didn't dare.Although she didn't know why, her subconscious mind told her that if she got angry, the consequences would be serious.Zhang Xiyan said very politely: "You are very young." Although emotionally she believed what this man said, but rationally told her that her aunt must be at least over 80 years old, right?

Zhang Jiaoyan led Zhang Xiyan down the mountain, and first found a family to fetch a few basins of water to wash Zhang Xiyan's face, then took it to the police station to reapply for an ID card, and then took the ID card and led Zhang Xiyan to reapply for a bank card and online banking Shield, as well as handle a credit card.She took Zhang Xiyan's online banking shield and credit card, took Zhang Xiyan to the hotel, and cleaned up her personal hygiene first.

After Zhang Xiyan took a shower and put on clean clothes, she carefully looked at herself in the mirror, then went out to stare at Zhang Jiaoyan for a long time, and asked, "Are we twins?"

Zhang Jiaoyan decided to go to the Minzu Association to find out about the situation and take Zhang Xiyan to see a doctor first.

Doctors diagnosed Zhang Xiyan with post-traumatic stress disorder.

Zhang Jiaoyan went through the hospitalization procedures for Zhang Xiyan, hired a nurse, and hurried to Zhangjia Village.

Zhang Xiyan accepted hospital treatment honestly, but she always had nightmares. Sometimes she dreamed that she was in a dark cell, sometimes she dreamed of being massacred in the village, and sometimes she dreamed that a ghost was chasing her with a dragon head and a big knife. He even dreamed that tens of thousands of coffins collapsed, and thousands of Gu people climbed out of the coffins and were split open by a dragon-headed knife like tofu.

The doctor told her that those were nightmares, just a portrayal of her heart, not real.

But she had a feeling that those were real events.

What made her feel the most uncomfortable was that she knew where her father had gone, but she couldn't remember where he had gone.She only remembered that her father fled to Zuling with her on his back, and after that, the Ten Thousand Coffin Formation was broken. She couldn't remember anything that happened on the road from the Zuling to the Ten Thousand Coffin Formation. Where did her father go? ?

When Zhang Xiyan was discharged from the hospital, it was already deep winter.

She looks like a normal person, her thinking logic is very clear, even a normal person with a strong memory and a high IQ, but she knows that her illness has not been cured, she lacks a sense of reality to the world, memory She was confused, forgot many people and things, and was always inexplicably sad. The doctor prescribed antipsychotics and antidepressants for her, but because of her special constitution, there was no therapeutic effect.

She is like a person playing the role of a normal Zhang Xiyan living, rationality tells her what to do, and what to do is right, so she will do it.

She is pretending to be a healthy self.

She vaguely remembered that there once seemed to be a person who had the same disease as her. It was a very vague figure sitting behind a desk. She couldn't remember what that person looked like, how old it was, and what relationship it had with her. , I don't even know if that person is dead or alive.She didn't know who it was, so she couldn't find out. She just hoped that the person was still alive.

She went back to her hometown.The town is still the same town, the Zhang's Incense Shop in her memory was demolished and turned into a construction site.She went to the mountains along the road in her memory, but she didn't find a village, only a large landslide and landslide.

A woman in a windbreaker and boots stood by the edge of the pit.

The woman is very thin, with narrow shoulders, thin waist and long legs. Her hair is curled over her shoulders and draped behind her back. The cold winter wind blows her hair and brushes her cheeks. Her expression is colder than the cold wind. Her whole body Sad emotions overflowed from the inside out.

The woman seemed to sense that she was looking at her, and when she turned her head, she saw tears on the woman's face.

The woman stared at her intently, with emotions in her eyes that she couldn't read.

Zhang Xiyan pretended not to see the tears on her face, walked over, and asked, "Is there a village in this place before?" She thought that this woman could stand here and look like this, she should know this place.

Zhang Xiyan's casual question made Liu Yu almost collapsed: Zhang Xueba, who is famous for his photographic memory, didn't even remember his hometown.The whole village was wiped out and the ground fell into a landslide. She didn't know how Zhang Xiyan survived, and how she survived.

Liu Yu choked up and forced back the tears in her eyes, forced a smile, turned her head to look at Zhang Xiyan, but couldn't say "yes".

Zhang Xiyan saw the answer from Liu Yu's expression, she said: "Thank you", she went down the slope, trying to find something, but she didn't know what to look for, she was a little at a loss, and moreover, a feeling of sadness surged up and down. was forcibly thrown away.

The woman walked behind her, suddenly put her arms around her waist from behind, and hugged her tightly, and the woman's suppressed gasp sounded in her ears.

Zhang Xiyan stood stiffly on the spot, inexplicably wanting to cry, but reason told her to control her emotions.She comforted: "Don't cry, I am the one who was exterminated, not you." This person is quite strange... is it quite strange?I know... right?
