Bu Tian Gang

The winter solstice is on a road that seems to never end.

Both sides are covered with gray mist, drifting lightly, yet weighing heavily on the heart, making it hard to breathe.

No matter how fast or slow his steps are, these mist always follow him.

At first he thought it was demonic energy, but later found out that it was not. If he had to describe it, it was probably the breath wandering on the edge of demonic energy. It was not enough to be demonic energy, but it was full of numbness and depression, resembling the negative emotions of human beings. It is more harmless than magic energy, but it will also invade and infiltrate silently, subtly change a person, make him gradually lose his fighting spirit, be at a loss, and finally sink and drown here.

This reminded Dongzhi of the past when he followed He Yu to Yangcheng to rescue Cheng Hui. They also encountered the same gray fog and almost couldn't get out—if Long Shen hadn't rescued him later.

Thinking of Long Shen, his breathing stagnates slightly.

In the past, he was just an ordinary person who was afraid of ghosts and ghosts and death, but now, he was trapped in a boundless abyss, and he might never go back, but he didn't have any fear in his heart, because he had more important things to do than fear.

Even though his rationality told him that Longshen was corrupted by the demonic energy and died in the line of duty for the seal, and falling into the abyss was probably more or less ominous, but Dong Zhi still had a glimmer of hope in his heart, hoping that things would not develop in the worst direction, I look forward to Long Shen being as strong as ever, able to suppress the devilish energy, and persist until his appearance.

In the fog and gray, a little light appeared in the distance.

The winter solstice moved slightly, and quickened the pace.

Any movement in such a place would not be a good thing, but a movement is worse than a movement, and only with movement can a breakthrough be possible.

But when he got closer and closer to the light, he discovered that the light was not a single point, but connected by a string of lanterns. Those lanterns were held in the hands of some people, while others were wearing shackles and moving forward slowly.

The costumes of the officials and prisoners are a bit weird, obviously the dress of the Republic of China at the beginning of the last century. Everyone's expressions are numb and their eyes are dull. Seeing the winter solstice "break in", they seem to be agitated by the sudden breath of a living person, and they all look at him in unison. Coming over, with lifeless eyes, Dong Zhi shivered subconsciously when he made contact suddenly.

Isn't this the same team he met last time when he strayed into the enchantment of the human demon Xu Wan by the Liuhua Bridge in Yangcheng?

As soon as the thought came to him, the man holding the lantern had already raised his whip and whipped it towards him, but Dongzhi was no longer the unarmed Dongzhi who needed protection from others when he was in Yangcheng. When they started, the people followed the sword light and rushed towards the opponent. In the shocked and frightened eyes of the whipman, the sword light had already covered them.

As the gray shadow was wiped out by the sword light, the white sword light not only did not dim, but became more blazing, and the eyes were stabbed a little painfully. Dong Zhi couldn't help but close his eyes for a short second, when he opened them again When I was walking, I found that the white light actually came from a mobile phone held by a person on the opposite side.

Seeing him raising his hand to block the light, the other party hastily turned off the light and apologized: "I'm sorry, I accidentally turned on the flashlight function just now, just turn it off!"

Maybe Dong Zhi stared at him in a strange way, so the other party apologized again and asked him: "Are you okay?"

Winter Solstice subconsciously touched the back, and found nothing.

There is no long guard sword, and behind him is a hard seat back.

On the train late at night, the lights and shadows shuttle outside the windows on both sides, the noise of progress continues, and the body vibrates slightly. This kind of scene is no stranger to the winter solstice.

But he shouldn't be here.

"Having a nightmare?" The boy asked again, "Do you want to play cards with us?"

Winter Solstice pinched the back of his hand and it hurt a lot.

The table was full of playing cards, and even the place in front of Dongzhi was taken up. The boy who was shuffling the cards sitting opposite him was a little embarrassed, and reached out to move the cards to his side, but Dongzhi suddenly stretched out his hand to hold him down. People startled.

"...You guys keep playing, I'll go to the bathroom." Dong Zhi said, grabbed the backpack beside him, got up and walked out.

He randomly found an empty seat and sat down, opened his backpack, and found a wallet, ID folder, clothes, and power bank inside.

Only there are no runes.

A passenger walks past him, heading for the restroom at the end of the aisle.

With a jolt, Winter Solstice jumped up from his seat and grabbed each other.

The other party turned his head and looked at him inexplicably. The familiar face made Dong Zhi blurt out: "He Yu?!"

He Yu snorted, "You know me?"

Dong Zhi stared at him for a moment, and before He Yu thought he was mentally ill, he finally said, "Hello, my name is Dong Zhi."

He Yu: "...What's your name? It's none of my business? Brother, are you okay? Are you uncomfortable? Call you a flight attendant?"

Winter Solstice lowered his voice: "Are you going to Changchun this time? There are demons on this train, you have to be careful!"

He Yuren is tall and big, and it's no problem to deal with the winter solstice, but he can't break free after this struggle, he can only look at him with crazy eyes, and his expression has become unattractive.

"If you do that again, I'll call the police!"

The two looked at each other for a moment, Dong Zhi let go of him, and slowly said: "I'm sorry, I didn't wake up just now, and I mistook you for my friend."

"Forget it!" He Yu waved his hand generously and left without looking back.

Dong Zhi stared at his back in a daze.

He suspects that he has fallen into an illusion, and the illusion will repeat the past again and again, breaking through his defenses, but at the same time he has a more terrifying idea——

Encountering monsters on the train, seeing bone dragons on Changbai Mountain, getting admitted to the Special Administration Bureau through untold hardships, meeting a group of like-minded people, worshiping Long Shen as a teacher, slaying demons and eliminating demons, will all of this be entirely due to him? A long dream on a train?

After waking up from the dream, the world is still the ordinary world, there is nothing grotesque at all, urban fantasy, He Yu can't do magic, and Long Shen is not the seven-star Long Yuan sword.

He subconsciously drew a symbol on the table.

The gallbladder of the bright light talisman.

If all this is really just a dream, is it even the runes that he imagined?

Dong Zhi slowly tightened his hands, stood up suddenly, and walked in the direction He Yu left just now.

After passing through several carriages, he finally found He Yu.

With him, there were several others, one of whose faces was enough to give him cardiac arrest.

Maybe it was because his standing still was too strange, the other party quickly looked up.

He Yu: "Why is it you again?"

Under Long Shen's gaze, Dong Zhi forced a smile: "I'm sorry, because you look so much like a friend of mine, I, I miss him very much, so I lost my composure."

He originally wanted to pretend to be pitiful, to stay anyway, and then slowly figure out the situation, but as soon as the words came out, there was no need to brew emotions, and tears came out of his eyes and rolled down.

He Yu was taken aback. Looking at his soft and harmless face and heartbroken expression, he couldn't say anything if he suspected that the other party was a liar, so he hurriedly said, "Don't cry, speak up if you have something to say!"

"Sit down and talk first." Long Shen finally said.

The voice is still so familiar, just like the first time I saw it on the train, the tears of the winter solstice flowed even harder.

He Yu hurriedly took out a tissue and handed it to him.

Dong Zhi thanked him for taking it, and found that Long Shen was also staring at him, his face was calm, and he did not show any annoyance or discomfort towards suspicious strangers, but that was all. The strange and calm eyes made Dong Zhi tremble, and he quickly moved away. line of sight.

"You look very much like an old friend of mine. He played with me since we were young, and then passed away for some reason. I miss him so much, so when I see you, it inevitably brings back memories. I'm sorry, I just couldn't help it for a while. emotions." In a short period of time, he had already drawn up a set of rhetoric.

He Yu was suspicious: "Then how do you know my name?"

Winter Solstice pretended to be surprised: "My friend is called He Yu, don't tell me you are too?!"

He Yu scratched his head: "This is really a ghost!"

Winter Solstice hurriedly apologized again: "I won't deliberately find bad luck, it's just a coincidence!"

"There are many coincidences in the world." Long Shen said, "But meeting is fate."

Dong Zhi felt embarrassed and said, "Thank you very much. My name is Dong Zhi. I just quit my job and am planning to travel to Changchun. How about you?"

"Resign?" He Yu's fussy look was exactly the same as in the winter solstice impression, "You look like you are still studying!"

Long Shen said: "We are also colleagues in the same company. We just have annual leave and are going to Changbai Mountain."

Dong Zhi pointed at Wang Chaosheng, who was eating potato chips and playing games, and smiled, "Is this also your colleague?"

A smile appeared on Long Shen's face: "This is my nephew."

He patted Chao Sheng on the shoulder lightly: "Say hello."

Seeing Chao Sheng taking a break from his busy schedule, he raised his head at an invisible angle: "Hello, brother!"

Dong Zhi took a look at Long Shen and coughed lightly: "You can call me uncle. What game are you playing?"

""The Great Wilderness"!" Wang Chaosheng didn't even raise his head.

At this moment, Long Shen suddenly said: "I'll go for a walk, Chao Sheng don't run around, He Yu you help watch him."

He Yu also turned on the game and was about to play. He nodded when he heard the words, and when Long Shen got up, he ran over to sit next to Wang Chaosheng.

Winter Solstice was considering whether to stay or find an excuse to be with Long Shen, when he heard Long Shen say, "Together?"

He looked up quickly and saw that Long Shen was also looking at him, obviously speaking to him, before he had time to think about it, Dong Zhi hurriedly agreed, got up and followed Long Shen.

The two walked through a carriage one after the other, and Long Shen didn't stop when he passed the bathroom. Dong Zhi didn't know where he wanted to go, and it was hard to ask, so he had to follow behind until he came to an empty aisle. The light and shadow on both sides are mottled, and the concealment is strong.

Long Shen suddenly grabbed his wrist with his backhand. Dong Zhi was caught off guard and was directly pressed against the wall of the car.

"Actually, you came here for me, right?" The breathing of the two could be heard from a distance, and the tips of their noses were almost touching the tips of their noses.

Dong Zhi watched the other party approaching, with a faint smile on his mouth, maybe it was an illusion, he felt that Long Shen seemed to be very different from the one he just met.

At that time, Long Shen was almost like an inviolable flower of ice and snow, how could he show such a sinister smile?

"What if I say yes?"

"That's as you wish."

The other party said, separated his defenseless legs with his knees, inserted into the middle with irresistible force, pushed up, and then rubbed hard several times with an unmistakable ambiguity.

Dong Zhi gasped in shock from being rubbed, and hurriedly grabbed his shoulder to stop him.

"what are you doing!"

"Didn't you ask for it yourself? Why pretend to be innocent?"

Long laughed deeply, pinched his chin and kissed him, and quickly tied his tongue, making him speechless.

The corners of Dongzhi's eyes were filled with water vapor, bringing out beautiful flushes, almost drowning in this stormy siege, but the only trace of reason he had left still allowed him to hold the opponent's shoulders and forcefully push the opponent away some distance.

"stop……"

"The feet are soft, the waist is also soft, but the mouth is still hard." Long Shen smiled frivolously, and rubbed him with his thigh, "Oh, maybe it's not just the mouth?"

Dong Zhi gasped and stared at him, as if trying to distinguish between dreams and reality, but the feeling from his body was too strong to be ignored.

"who are you?"

Long Shen raised his eyebrows: "Oh, you don't seem to know my name yet? Then introduce yourself. My name is Long Shen. The He Yu you met just now is my younger brother."

"What little brother?" Dong Zhi opened his eyes wide, isn't he a subordinate?

Long Shen sneered: "He used to be a gangster with me, and now he is doing a little business with me, is that enough to understand? You still have to check the eight generations of your ancestors to make an appointment! If you don't look like you, you are quite attractive, I would I don't care about you!"

After finishing speaking, she wrapped her arms around his waist and gently bit down on the Adam's apple on his neck.

Dong Zhi snorted, and suddenly grabbed the opponent's wrist, and with a little force, pulled him in the opposite direction.

"Two more moves?" The other party gasped, and counterattacked, the two of them passed a few moves in a blink of an eye, Dong Zhi stretched out his legs and kicked his lower body, Long Shen had to take a few steps back. "You're good at it, where did you practice it?"

Dong Zhi looked at his frivolous smile, and suddenly a wave of anger rose from the bottom of his heart.

"You are not Long Shen."

Face, figure, breath, voice, all of them are Long Shen, but the character is not.

The other party sneered inexplicably: "I am not Long Shen, the name clearly written on my ID card, could it be..."

He looked Dong Zhi up and down, and said suspiciously: "Who did you mistook me for? Oh, look at your little figure with lingering hatred, is it an old lover?"

wrong.

Everything is wrong!

The consciousness of the winter solstice began to be a little confused.

Rationally, he felt that this was just an illusion, an illusion created by the devilish energy based on the deepest expectations of the people.

But another voice told him that this is the real world, there are no monsters and ghosts at all, Long Shen's identity and the scene in front of him are the reality in the world.

"Long Shen..." A broken tone that was like a groan was spit out from Dong Zhi's mouth, startling the angry Long Shen, "Tell me, Wang Chaosheng is not actually your nephew, he is a cat who has been practicing for 500 years, just now Jiao in human form, right?"

Long Shen looked at him with crazy eyes: "I don't think you misidentified your lover, you just ran out of a mental hospital!"

"It's really bad luck!" Long brushed the dust off his clothes deeply. After such a fuss, he had softened into a SpongeBob SquarePants, and he was not interested in going crazy with the other party any longer, so he turned around and was about to leave.

The other party didn't pester him any more, but after walking a few steps, he suddenly stopped and looked back.

The man stood there in a daze, his eyes were red, and there were no tears, but it made people feel hopeless for no reason.

"Hey, are you okay?" Long Shen couldn't help but asked.

The other party ignored him.

Long cursed secretly, and left without looking back.

Returning to his seat and sitting down, Long Shen found that his mind was still stuck in the scene just now, and he couldn't draw his attention back at all.

He Yu, who was playing games, took the time to look at him, and asked strangely, "Boss, are you alright?"

Hearing this sentence, Long Shen became even more irritable, and simply got up and walked back.

He walked all the way back to the place just now, and found that the winter solstice was still there, and he still kept his original posture.

Without saying a word, Long Shen grabbed the other's wrist and walked back, found a seat nearby and sat down.

"Wait for me here."

He left a word, turned and left.

Not long after, Long Shen put a bottle of water and a lunch box on the table.

"Eat."

My eyes became hot during the winter solstice, and I wanted to laugh again.

"Thank you." He took the water and pushed the lunch box back, "I'm not hungry, you can eat by yourself."

Long Shen frowned and looked at him: "Once in 800 years, I buy a boxed meal for a stranger, and you still dare to refuse my offer?"

As soon as he uttered it, he was full of ruffian. Dong Zhi had never heard Long Shen call himself Lao Tzu, and he felt full of humor when he was uncomfortable, as if the world was not real anymore.

He forced himself not to care about these details, took a few sips of water, and his mood became much calmer.

"Take it!"

The other party threw a business card, Dong Zhi picked it up and looked at it.

Long's Design, Chairman.

That funny feeling came to my heart again.

Seeing that he was holding the business card and looking at it again and again, Long Shen couldn't help asking: "Did you really make up an excuse just to get close to me?"

Dong Zhi shook his head: "Has anyone ever done this before?"

Long Shen snorted: "Of course, with my charm, there are quite a few men and women who have done this before. You are the only one I accept!"

Winter Solstice: "Then I should be honored?"

Long Shen showed an evil smile, and said half-truth, "No need, just let me do it!"

Even though he said that, he didn't do anything like a bully, and he went back and forth, buying water and food for Dongzhi.

Dongzhi suddenly said: "Do you believe that there are people with the same name and surname as you besides He Yu?"

Long Shen: "What's so strange?"

Winter Solstice: "I will know them, also on a train."

This story is very long. It begins on the train to Changchun. The appearance of Long Shen is like the brightest star in the night sky, leading him to see the vast and vast universe.

Maybe it's because the story is bizarre but attractive, Long Shen sat opposite him, and didn't interrupt him. It wasn't until he heard that he was hit by a head bow and his death was approaching, and Long Shen accepted the confession, finally said: "He It's not because I sympathize with you that I accept you."

Winter Solstice: "How do you know?"

Long smiled deeply: "A man's intuition! You are also a man, and you are a fan of the authorities, so of course you can't feel it! With the character of the person you mentioned, it is impossible to fall in love with anyone just because of sympathy."

Dongzhi smiled: "Yes, so I figured it out later."

Long Shen asked again: "What happened next?"

Winter Solstice: "Later, we went to Southeast Asia to find the instigator who gave me the head drop, and solved the other party. At this time, the mastermind of the conspiracy who had been hiding behind the scenes gradually surfaced. He went to Japan, and I went to the United States. Participate in the World Exchange Conference."

Long Shen: "If your story is too long, the readers will definitely run out."

Dongzhi smiled and said, "But, aren't you still listening?"

Long Shen took out a cigarette and a lighter from his pocket and wanted to light it. He raised his eyes and saw the no-smoking sign in the carriage, clicked his tongue, and had to put everything back again.

"That's when you met a patient audience, and then?"

Dongzhi said: "Then, Yinyu Jiuyan, the person I told you earlier, in order to deal with him, Long Shen took the initiative to introduce the devil energy into his body, and then took the opportunity to completely wipe him out with the four-image fixed star lamp. But Yinyu Before he died, Jiu Yan had already set up a backhand to make people destroy the seal in Kunlun Mountain, break the eye of the formation, release the beast-suppressing phoenix in front of the formation, and completely open the passage to the far-reaching hell."

His voice unknowingly became deep: "Everyone rushed after hearing the news, worked hard for several days and nights, and sacrificed many people, but the gap still couldn't be bridged. In the end, he chose to absorb the magic energy, jumped into the abyss, and used his own strength. , to close the gap and let others seal the passage. When I went there, it happened to catch up with the moment of his death. The story is over."

Long snorted coldly, and criticized unceremoniously: "Stupid, I hate this kind of story of sacrificing myself to save the world! If I were him, I would never do such a stupid thing. He is obviously handsome and capable, hugging his little lover Isn't it good to live a happy life, why do you have to go through life and death?"

Winter Solstice: "If he doesn't do this, the demonic energy and great demons from the abyss and hell will flood into the world, and when the world falls, no one can survive alone."

Long Shen snorted: "Then let's talk about it when the time comes. Maybe the crisis will be resolved before then. You also said that there are so many people present, it's impossible for none of them to be useless. Why don't others sacrifice? It must be his turn? If I had done so many things for the Special Administration Bureau, I would have exhausted my benevolence, but in the end, I couldn’t even get a real director, so who would stay? I think it’s better for you to change the ending!”

Winter Solstice: "How to change?"

Long Shen raised his legs, raised his eyebrows and said, "Just end everything in Japan, let Otowa Hatohiko die under your Long Shen's hands, let Long Shen make a great contribution, and be promoted to the director when he returns, how about it?"

Winter Solstice shook his head.

"Then it's not him."

"It's boring!" Long Shen curled his lips. "It's a waste of your protagonist having the same name as Lao Tzu. I'm still here listening to your bullshit for a long time. If you don't listen to me, no one will read this kind of story!"

He grabbed the business card on the table again and stuffed it into Dong Zhi's hand.

"I'll make a bet with you, if your story can be published in the future, I'll treat you to dinner!"

Winter Solstice: "What if I can't?"

Long Shen: "Then, make an appointment?"

Winter Solstice couldn't help laughing out loud.

Long Shen clicked his tongue twice: "It's fine if you smile, you look hundreds of times better when you smile than when you don't smile, how about it, do you want to think about it? Fantasy novelist?"

Winter Solstice said: "I am a painter."

He took out the drawing board, paper and pen from his backpack, and said to Long Shen, "Don't move", the tip of the pen began to fly on the paper. Looking sideways at the scene out of the window is outlined.

Without coloring, without detailed description of light and shadow, just a few rough drafts, Long Shen has already appeared on the paper.

"For you, thank you for listening to me tell a story." Winter Solstice tore off the portrait and handed it to him.

Long Shen shook his head: "The painting is good, but it's not me."

Winter Solstice was stunned: "It's you."

Long Shen: "What you draw is the Long Shen in your story, not me."

The winter solstice shook slightly.

He looked at Long Shen, and the other party looked at him. It was rare to be quiet, and he was speechless for a long time.

"I think I should wake up."

This is another Long Shen, another life, maybe very attractive at the beginning, but definitely not what he wants.

Long Shen raised his eyebrows and smiled: "You should have woken up from your story! Let's get to know each other again. My name is Long Shen, the owner of Long's Design Company. My net worth is not yet listed on Forbes, but it is more than enough to support a small painter." , how is it, are you interested?"

"My master is not as talkative and seductive as you. If I hadn't met him, I think I would have liked someone with your personality more. However, since it is already him, it must be only him."

Dong Zhi pushed the business card in front of the other party, "Except for him, any Long Shen can only be false, and I don't want a good beginning. It's time to end."

He reached into his collar and tore off the amulet that had been hanging around his neck.

This amulet was given to him by Long Shen, and he always wore it on his body. When the Changshou Sword and the Bright Light Talisman were not by his side, and when he met the completely different Long Shen and He Yu, for a moment in Winter Solstice, he really thought that everything was in vain. Just a long beautiful dream.

Until he found the amulet around his neck.

It was this amulet that gave him the belief to continue dealing with this world.

"Pro!"

Accompanied by a broken drink, Dong Zhi's hands could not hold the seal of Ming Wang, and he threw the spell in his hand towards Longshen, but it froze automatically in mid-air, the golden light rose, and it transformed into the shape of the spell in mid-air.

Under Longshen's amazed eyes, the shape of the incantation became bigger and bigger, and the light became stronger and stronger, and finally radiated into the entire space, covering all the sight in front of him.

As far as the eye can see, there is nothingness, and all sentient beings are all disillusioned.

I don't know how long it took before the light gradually receded.

Winter Solstice opens his eyes.

In fact, he was also a little uneasy, afraid that what he saw would still be that train, that Long Shen, that completely different story and beginning, and he no longer had the only evidence that could prove that he and Long Shen had crossed paths.

There was still a gray fog in his eyes, and there was pain below his knees. He looked down and saw groups of flowing black air eating away at his clothes and skin.

It was a low-level monster called Stealing Yaksha, which Winter Solstice had encountered before.

Seeing these monsters, he breathed a sigh of relief, and touched them back with his backhand, feeling even more overjoyed.

The long guard sword is still there!

Without hesitation, he drew his sword out of its sheath, and the sword light slashed at the monster with unstoppable momentum!

……

Long Shen's body trembled slightly.

There was a trace of anger suddenly on that half of the evil face, and the blood flowed from the corner of the eye, which was extremely terrifying, and even the devilish energy around him seemed to be a little frightened, and he was too timid to approach him.

The other half of the face is still quiet and peaceful, eyes closed and speechless.

"That was originally a life shaped for his character and hobbies, why didn't he want to go on?" Bobby asked in the night.

Long Shen finally opened his eyes, and said slowly, "Because it's fake."

Bobei smiled: "What is true and what is false? What I gave him is also true. Even if his body is eaten by monsters, his consciousness can stay in that world forever and finish that beautiful life." .I have never met a human being who would refuse my offer."

Long Shen also showed a faint smile.

"Because he is the winter solstice."

……

Kunlun Mountains, Nalengele Canyon.

"It's been two days." Song Zhicun said.

Without his reminder, everyone was aware of this.

Headmaster Zhang sighed slowly, and said with heavy fatigue, "Closing the gap."

He Yu closed his eyes, he had no position to object, and he could no longer object.

Everyone has persisted until the last moment, the formation is in jeopardy and can no longer be maintained, and Long Shen and the others have not come out, which means that their hope of seeing the sun again is very slim.

"Get ready, seal!" Song Zhicun gritted his teeth and said loudly.

Two days is his final bottom line, he must be responsible for the lives of everyone here, and even the safety of the whole world.

The jade tablet of Longhu Mountain has been sent to replace the phoenix. It hangs in the center of the formation, and its brilliance circulates. With the activation of the formation, it will completely "live", and the radiance will become brighter in an instant, like a star. The earth and the moon reflected the sky, and then slowly fell, and finally turned into a huge rock, completely sealing the mouth of the pit.
