Green Lantern Bond

Although it was a bit embarrassing, the originally harmonious atmosphere was broken by the sudden arrival of the little maid.

After hearing the little maid's words, Gong Ruxue's calm face changed rapidly, so exciting.Since Chongyun saw him for the first time yesterday, he has never seen this person so flustered, even being scolded by his brother, he can hold back his anger and reason with others word by word, but now, his expression It's really tense.

Chong Yun glanced at the little maid. He had seen this person last night. When they met Mrs. Gong when they first returned to the Gong residence, this maid followed Mrs. Gong. She should be her personal maid.Hearing the little girl's words just now confirmed Chong Yun's guess, since Mrs. Gong sent her, and judging by the girl's frightened expression, the sudden incident in Gong's residence must not be too small.

Gong Ruxue had the same idea as Chong Yun. The last time he heard that the "accident" in Mrs. Gong's mouth was his father, the head of the Gong family, when he passed away unexpectedly, Gong Ruxue couldn't imagine what would happen this time, but no matter No matter what happens, it will not be a good thing.

Gong Ruxue suppressed her chaotic thoughts, managed to hold up her expression and said to Chongyun, "Chongyun..."

"You don't need to say anything, go back and see what's going on, I'll go back with Liu Hanyi later." Chongyun patted him on the shoulder understandingly, and comforted him, "Don't worry too much for now."

"Yeah." Gong Ruxue knew that he was just comforting herself, but having friends by her side really made him feel more at ease, he said apologetically to Chong Yun and Duan Chen, "Then I'll go back first."

As soon as Gong Ruxue and the little maid left, only Duan Chen and Chong Yun were left in the room.Liu Hanyi hadn't come back yet, and for a moment the not-so-small room seemed cramped because of the awkward sitting of the two of them.

Chongyun glanced at the food on the table and asked Duan Chen: "Big... Master, is there anything else you want to eat, I'll get it for you."

Duan Chen shook his head: "No need."

"Oh." Chongyun had nothing to say, he couldn't figure out how he would set out a mission and just meet Duan Chen, so that he fell into the current awkward situation.

Duan Chen couldn't see, so he shouldn't have recognized him at first, but both Liu Hanyi and Gong Ruxue had called him by his name just now, but Duan Chen didn't respond at all. Chongyun didn't remember this person when he thought about it. Himself, after all, they have been separated for so long? 17 years or 18 years?

The time of separation was longer than the time they had known each other, Chong Yun didn't know what he was embarrassed about.It's like two old friends who haven't seen each other for a long time. They meet suddenly but can't find a suitable topic. It seems that it's strange to say anything, because each other is just a passer-by in each other's life. Even if there is an occasional intersection, it will be very fast. will disappear in each other's life.

What's more, Chong Yun curled his lips, thinking, can he and Duan Chen be considered friends?

Time passed by, and neither of them wanted to break the silence.

Liu Hanyi hadn't come back yet, and he didn't know what he was negotiating with the shopkeeper. Chongyun glanced at Duan Chen, and saw that he was already quietly counting the beads in his hand. His calm and solemn appearance no matter how many times he passed The years seem to be the same, Chongyun looked at his silent and alienated appearance, and suddenly wondered how he communicated with him in the past, but the past years are blurred in his memory, and many of them can’t be remembered. What I lived in was Duan Chen's graceful figure when we first met.

Even after so many years, Chongyun still remembers it in his heart, and he can't forget it even if he wants to, so that when he dreams back at midnight, he can always feel a slight throbbing pain in his empty heart.

When Chongyun saw Duan Chen for the first time, he was just full.

It was the first time he went down the mountain. Even though the patriarch objected and even warned him that once he went down the mountain, he would never come back, and he would not seek shelter from the clan even if there were any difficulties in the future, he still had no hesitation.

It was the time of March in Yangchun, the blue sky was like washing, the scenery was beautiful, and the warm sunshine shone on the hair, making the whole person warm.Under the gaze of the patriarch who hates iron and steel, Chongyun calmly opened the barrier to protect the clan and left Sanwei Mountain.

Every year, there are adult tribesmen who can't stand the boring days on the mountain and choose to leave, but these people never come back without exception. Chongyun doesn't know if he will come back, but at this moment he just wants to go out, He has lived on Sanwei Mountain for 18 years, and he is already tired of the life without any novelty day after day. Even the patriarch can't change his mind.

"Chongyun, the outside world is by no means as simple as you imagined. No matter how high your cultivation level is, you are no match for other people's schemes. Why don't you listen to me? Wouldn't it be better to stay in the mountains?"

Chongyun stubbornly insisted on repeating the words repeatedly: "Patriarch, I know that you are doing it for my own good, but I have already stayed in Sanwei Mountain enough. I know exactly what every flower and plant looks like here. It's really hard to repeat the same life. Patriarch, you also said that I have a high level of cultivation, so if my high level of cultivation is only in a comfortable and peaceful place, how can I use it? I can go down the mountain and help other people. People. As for the conspiracy you mentioned, I think you are thinking too much, I believe that the attitude I treat others will be treated in the same way by others. "

Seeing that the persuasion was useless, the patriarch let him go and gave him a jade plaque before leaving: "You are a martial arts genius that our clan rarely sees in a hundred years. If you decide, I will leave this pass token to you as a chance to start over. If you want to come back in the future, you can come to me with this jade token. But remember, there is only one chance."

Chongyun took it with a smile and put the jade tablet into the Qiankun bag: "Thank you, patriarch."

The patriarch became angry when he saw his heartless appearance, and waved his hand to tell him to leave quickly. Before Chongyun could react, he was kicked out of the clan gate by the patriarch, and when he turned back, the clan guard The enchantment is opened, and the family gate has disappeared.

Seeing this, Chongyun felt that the patriarch was as unreasonable as a child at certain times, so he shook his head and went down the mountain.

The world under the mountain is not much different from what he imagined. In fact, Chongyun is not ignorant of the outside world, because when he was a child, many seniors told him about the outside world, although these are almost all from their novels. knew.

Most of the people in the clan have stayed on the mountain all their lives, and they rarely have the opportunity to contact the outside world, and none of the clan members who have gone out have ever returned, so Chongyun and others only know about the outside world. Ben Li's depiction.

This is also the reason why Chongyun wanted to go down the mountain wholeheartedly. He wanted to see and experience a completely different life from the mountain.

A person's life is so long, there is always something to do to break the routine and make some accidents in life, so as not to see the old at a glance.

Duan Chen's appearance was another accident for Chong Yun's life.

At that time, Chongyun was in a small town named Xigu at the foot of Futi Mountain, two hundred miles east of Sanwei Mountain. A few days ago, a family in the town held a wedding. But he died on his own bed in the wedding night of the wedding room, and his death was extremely miserable. Not to mention his belly was ripped open, even his heart was dug out.It is said that the blood from the deceased soaked the two quilts. When the bride woke up the next morning and saw the groom's death, she was frightened crazy.

"So scary?" Chongyun sat in a small teahouse, poured some water into his teacup, picked it up and took a sip, and continued to listen to a tea guest sitting in front of him telling ghost stories eloquently, "Then find out Who did it?"

"How do you know? I think it was a monster. Otherwise, who would kill someone and dig out his heart without anyone noticing it? How cruel." Throwing a handful of melon seeds into his mouth, Chongyun didn't mind, and listened to him babbling, "The bride has been taken back to her mother's house now, and she has been making trouble at home all day, crying and screaming, you don't know, that voice It's really creepy to hear. No one dares to go there now. Everyone makes a detour. Anyone who hears the cry feels uncomfortable. I heard that the family invited a master to perform the method, but I don't know if it will work or not. Alas, that family is also committing crimes, and this is what happened."

"What about the bridegroom's house?"

"What else can I do? There is only such a son in the family. Now the son is gone, and the wife is also crazy. The two elders live alone now, crying every day. You said there is no use in crying, and there is no one left. Before Two days ago, a Taoist priest passed by, saying that there was something dirty in their house, and Feng Shui was broken, so they were driven away by the two elders."

"Dirty thing? What kind of dirty thing?" Chongyun asked suspiciously.

The guest was a little speechless: "I said, young master, why don't you know anything? Dirty things, that is, unsightly things that can only be born in dark corners. It's not a demon or a ghost, what else can it be?"

"You people outside are really interesting. Isn't it enough to just talk about demons and ghosts? Why do you use dirty things instead?" Chongyun saw the guest's face immediately displeased, and realized that he had said the wrong thing again, and hurriedly grabbed him. Putting a handful of melon seeds in front of him, he smiled and said, "Okay, okay, you can continue talking, I won't interrupt."

The guest took a mouthful of melon seeds and continued: "The Taoist priest was driven away by the two elders, and he was not angry, so he said, 'Although there is filth, there is basically not much of it, and the filth must have left'." Just left. Don’t you think what he said is nonsense? He has dug out people’s hearts. What are those things still there for? Speaking of which, this is not the first time this has happened.”

"Oh?" Chongyun became interested and asked, "Has someone been poached before?"

"It was also a long time ago. I also heard from one of my uncles that someone in this town would die strangely every 50 years. When my uncle was still alive, he also met a butcher who was dug up. Don't worry, that butcher has a bad temper. His daughter-in-law ran away after being beaten several times by him, so no one knew when he died. It took a few days for the body to stink before anyone found out, but who There is no way to know whether there were people who died in this way even a long time ago."

Chongyun took a sip of tea, thoughtful.

When the night was darker and the dew was heavy, Chongyun dressed in black and came outside the bride's house at the entrance of the East Village in the dark.

The clouds in the sky were so thick that not even a single starlight could be seen. Hearing the shrill and treacherous screams from the bride's house, the heavy clouds turned into strange cries from time to time, and deep thoughts were hidden in Ru Mo's eyes.

Why does someone die strangely every 50 years, and the method of death is still digging out the heart?Why did the Taoist say that there are dirty things in the groom's house?Why does the family of the bride ask a master to do it?

Chongyun saw that the room where the bride was locked was covered with yellow talismans, and couldn't help but curl his lips into a smile, probably the answer to the question was all there.
