floating snow

He thought about many possibilities.

Trapped, massacred, plundered, fleeing, natural disasters and man-made disasters, bleeding and drifting.

Shi Yanwen thought he had a warm home, but now he realized that it might just be a dream.

"Juhunzhuang?" Qu Shitu thought for a long time, "The hardship is so great, there are not ten places with this name, right? You suddenly made me think, I also..."

Shi Yanwen sighed secretly, "I'm sorry, it was Yanwen who made things difficult."

"It's not your fault, it's just a dream, and we can't be sure..." Qu Shitu's eyes suddenly lit up before he finished speaking, and he looked aside, "Shensi, do you have any impression of this name?"

Shensi had been ordered to hide the plight for many years, so she naturally knew much more than him. Although she left Hades later, she did not abandon what she remembered.

Shi Yanwen looked at Shensi floating in the air. He had woken up early and couldn't wait to go back to the village, but it seemed too inexplicable to judge the danger in the village just by a dream and a godlike voice. He has never heard of it, and the small village He Le Ning in his memory is only a hundred-year-old village, and he has never heard of any specific name.

His mind seemed to be distracted, maybe he was thinking about the matter of the King of Hades, and after Qu Shitu asked again, he said, "I have never heard of it."

"...There is no clue."

It seems that it is impossible not to return.

Qu Shitu saw his serious face, and knew what he was planning without thinking carefully, "You want to go back?"

Shi Yanwen nodded, "The villagers are very kind to Yu Yanwen. If they really ask me for help in some unknown way, then Yanwen can't ignore it." Besides, he has already benefited a lot from being in the library. I can't find anything special, and it's time to leave.

"Since you have decided that I can't stop you, but Su really should be back soon, why don't you meet him before leaving?"

"No need," Shi Yanwen narrowed her eyes, "We will meet again in the future if we are destined. Besides, human life is at stake. Even if it is just an illusion, Yanwen dare not ignore it."

The words have come to this point, if you stop any more, you will deliberately add to the grudge, Qu Shitu stood up, "You wait for me for a while, I will bring you something, if you have difficulties, maybe it will be useful."

Shi Yanwen was worried because of the voice in his dream, even if it was really his overthinking, it was better than worrying about it, but he didn't know the way ahead, not to mention that he was not familiar with the competition in this world, at this moment He didn't refuse either, "Here is the Yanwen, thank you sir in advance."

Qu Shitu smiled and waved his hand at him, "It may not be useful, and you don't have to thank me, I didn't prepare those things, you have to thank me, and thank you when you see Su Zhenzhen someday."

Su really prepared for me?Shi Yanwen was silent, it seemed that he had expected that he was about to leave, no wonder he was invited down the mountain yesterday...

As soon as Qu Shitu left, the scene cooled down.Qi Tianbian and a few children were playing guessing at Wulian Terrace, and it was enough to say goodbye when they left. As for Shensi, Shi Yanwen looked at him, and naturally he couldn't disturb him because he was worried, so he could only continue to remain silent.

Never thought that Shensi would suddenly float on his shoulder, and he didn't say a word.

Shi Yanwen blinked, "Shensi?"

Shensi said, "It's nothing, I'll take a rest." After a while, he drifted away again.

"..."

Qu Shitu happened to take the things out, didn't pay attention to Shi Yanwen's eyes, and handed the things to him, "This is a letter of introduction, anyone who has a good relationship with Su, you can help by giving this letter to him I will try my best to help you. This golden leaf is still for you. With it, you can enter and leave the Glazed Wonderland and the Valley of Thousand Clouds... Uh, do you know where it is, Tui Songyan?"

"...I know," Shi Yanwen stared blankly at Jin Yezi, "Yanwen read it in the library."

Qu Shitu nodded, "That's right, you have finished reading all the books in this library, so you won't be completely ignorant of these places. After all, there are many right and wrong in this Liuli Wonderland, and we will leave after a while, and you need a permanent residence when you travel outside. Few people go to Natui Songyan nowadays, the terrain is good, and it is protected by natural formations, so it is much safer than here.”

Shi Yanwen lowered her head, "Yes."

"There are also these two bottles of elixir, for life-saving, detoxification on the left, and injury suppression on the right," he said, putting the bottle into Shi Yanwen's hand, and pressing it, with a little earnestness, "But you are just looking for memories, can you Don't get contaminated with the troubles that are not contaminated, remember, remember."

Shi Yanwen opened her mouth, seemed to hesitate to speak, put away the things in her hands, and paused, "Yanwen must remember."

"Oh," Qu Shitu sighed, "I heard that your village is far away and you have to go on your way again, so I won't keep you any longer. You should leave early and try to avoid crowds of people in the evening. Your subordinates, don't fight hard, understand?"

What he said was too serious, but Shi Yanwen couldn't help laughing out loud, his eyelashes trembling slightly.

"Huh?" Qu Shitu was stunned for a moment, "What's wrong?"

"No," Shi Yanwen raised her head, and a gentle smile spread, "Yanwen will be careful, and I will take care of the housekeeper."

Qu Shitu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly understood, with a helpless look on his face, he reached out and patted his shoulder, "You...be careful all the way, if you fail to react in time, crush the gold leaf to give you a chance to escape."

Shi Yanwen hummed softly, stepped back to salute, and bowed to say goodbye, "Thank you for the butler's care for the past few days, so let's say goodbye and see you again."

Goodbye?

See you soon.

After a while, the figure gradually moved away, Qu Shitu still stood in place, looking at the young man who was talking to several children, he couldn't speak for a long time.

Shi Yanwen's farewell was extremely sincere, and the moving look in his eyes made people both moved and emotional, but it also made him feel very uncomfortable. He didn't tell Shi Yanwen that the gold leaf, in addition to being used as a key and blocking function, can also be used to track , on the one hand to ensure his safety, on the other hand...

He really didn't know Su Huanhuan's real intentions. With the power of the fragrant white lotus, even if he was worried, he didn't need to use this trick. He also prepared gold leaves and elixir, as well as the letter, which was more like protection.

It's just that sometimes, protection and monitoring are almost the same thing.

Shaking his head slightly, Qu Shitu suddenly felt that something was wrong. The voices of children outside were still there, and the room was very quiet, except for a beam of light shining on the table, "I said, Shen Si, you are very quiet today, why are you so quiet , is it true that you are so worried about Su?"

"Um……"

Qu Shitu almost jumped up, "What do you mean 'um'? Is Su really in danger?"

"No." I don't know if it was his illusion, Qu Shitu always felt that the "no" was a bit regretful, "That Shi Yanwen is a bit special."

"Shi Yanwen?" Qu Shitu looked at him in surprise, "What's wrong with him?"

Shen Si hesitated and said, "I didn't pay attention to it before, but I just realized this morning when I saw him waking up cold. His state is not like a complete living person."

Qu Shitu raised his eyebrows, "You won't tell me that he is a zombie who resurrected from the dead, right?"

"His soul is broken."

"what?"

"And, it's still breaking."

……

When Shi Yanwen came, he took a small boat down the river, so it should be the same when he went.

He went to the bazaar, but there were not many people in the bazaar, even if there were, no one would stop when he saw Shi Yanwen.Now that the current situation is chaotic, they are always afraid that they will get into trouble, but because of this, there are also many empty boats by the river.Shi Yanwen picked a slightly better one, which had an extra canopy than the one he had when he came, and it could still shelter from the wind and rain. He was still sitting in the stern of the boat, relying on his internal strength to go upstream.

It took him several days to get out of the village, but this time he didn't dare to spend so much time going back.

But thinking about it, the reality is that you can't get your wish just by thinking about it. Shi Yanwen didn't expect that it would take too long, too long to go back, compared to the time when he came out.

It was shocking for a long time.

On the first day, halfway through the trip, the river froze, and Shi Yanwen abandoned the boat.

From the second day to the sixth day, the journey was only tens of miles, during which countless corpses were buried.

On the seventh day, the ice on the river cracked, and the river diverged for some reason. Shi Yanwen hesitated, and then chose the wrong road.

On the eighth day, I ran into bandits who killed innocent people by chance, and fought a big battle without being injured.

On the ninth day, Shi Yanwen went back to Hechakou and took the wrong road again.

On the tenth day, Shi Yanwen went back and forth to Hechakou for the third time, and finally chose the right path this time.

On the 13th, when Shi Yanwen returned to the entrance of the village, the soldiers from the old graves were still there, and all the villagers in the houses were gone.

On the 14th, Shi Yanwen went to that barren mountain again, passed the mountain wall cut by knives and axes, stood upright for a long time, and then came to the green mountain, where there was no one left.

On the 15th, Shi Yanwen went to a nearby market to inquire, but the market was lonely, and from all the inquiries, he had never heard of any living beings here.

Whether the villagers are safe, where they went, it is easy to explain why people leave, why there are no houses at all, and there is no trace of living in it, as if it never existed.

There is nothing, why is there nothing?

It was like a hallucination.

But he has been a teacher here for two years, Aunt Wang at the entrance of the village gave him melons and fruits for two years, he folded straw for the children for two years, and it took him two years here to restore himself to normal.

Shi Yanwen ran out of the village with a headache, dizzy and couldn't see clearly, her mind seemed to be overwhelmed.He almost thought that he had a dream, dreamed of a place isolated from the world, and dreamed of two years of shock, but it was just a dream, like the nightmares he left every day, there was no trace in reality.

It was even scarier and more absurd than the nightmare in his dream.

Shi Yanwen's situation is not good. The illusory feeling of powerlessness in those nightmares suddenly came to reality, his hands and feet were cold and stiff again, and he walked along the path in a daze, aimlessly, not knowing where he was going.

——We know that Mr. is not a thing in the pool, but please take care of Mr., if you are safe, you must come back to see in the future, this... we will not keep it, and leave.

Now, where is he going to look back?Is this a wasteland overgrown with grass?

After walking for half a day, I went back unwillingly.

Two years ago, when he was delirious, he was still able to linger on that mountain for a month. Two years later, after venting his distraction for a while, he thought he could calmly look at all the shocking changes.

He is Shi Yanwen, and Shi Yanwen will never run away.

This time he looked very carefully. He moved away the gravel and weeds. The ground was uneven and there were no traces of human footsteps. The original big tree at the entrance of the village was still there. Those two years were not a dream, those people really existed.

But why did they disappear, and the traces were cleaned up so cleanly, Shi Yanwen suspected for a moment that he was living with a group of ghosts, but the next moment overturned this absurd idea.If it is said that Shi Yanwen is not from this world, he can't detect it or can be said to be normal, but Su has really been here for half a day, how can he not be able to recognize it?

He stayed there for several days, just like when he came down from the mountain-nothing.

"Soul Gathering Manor..."

Shi Yanwen suddenly remembered something, something too obvious to be overlooked.

The people in this village are very xenophobic. When Su Zhenzhen came here with a harmless attitude, he was almost expelled. But when I first came to this village, why did they accept him easily and even warmly, and returned the last one in the village? A good house was given to him.

It was as if they knew "Shi Yanwen" in the first place.

Thinking of this, Shi Yanwen felt cold all over for no reason.

At the end of the month, Shi Yanwen finally gave up and left with a heavy face of disappointment. He still didn't find any clues about the village.No way, I can only ask someone for help.

It's just that in just one month, after re-entering the WTO, the martial arts world will be turned upside down again.

But it is said that Su Zhenzhen cooperated with the Red King who had been in the same rank as the king of Hades, and used his strength to fight against the king of Hades, leaving a flaw in him.On the last trip to the demon city, Su Zhenzhen invited a person with a deep connection with Buddhism, which triggered another connection with Buddhism in the past, and attacked from both inside and outside.

At this point, Hades is destroyed, Shensi uses the power of the five great spirits to push back to the black moon, his body dissipates in the world, and the power of the forest and prison returns to the Black Sea.

It is also said that the demon city is fighting, the crime domain is out, the strange consciousness is in chaos, the red crowned red queen suffers from the sin, and the master of the deep sea shows her real body. It regained its old place, at this time, it was just at the time of the war.

Fortunately, the battlefield has gradually moved away from the plight.

Evil cannot prevail, and the death of Hades is inevitable. To Shi Yanwen's surprise, Su Zhenzhen's suffering was really a catastrophe of life and death.

In the seaside execution ground, he was tortured, his face was covered with iron tools, his limbs were trapped, and he was thrown into the whirlpool of death.

I only heard him say that it was a false alarm, and Shi Yanwen thought that he had concealed it, but he didn't expect that he actually died once.

No wonder the lotus flowers in Yubo Pond were restless and restless that day.

There are many more, but they are too hidden, and Shi Yanwen has no way of inquiring about them. After roughly sorting out the clues, he stopped asking, and still went to his destination.

A few days later, I went to a bay.

Dangerous peaks stand tall, stop to listen, the sound of the tide beating the shore resounds in the ears, it sounds very clear, the tide is both surging and gentle, and there is a feeling of drowsiness after hearing it, Shi Yanwen is on the shore Sitting by the side, the sunset in the evening was reflected by the waves, making people's eyes hurt a little.

After watching for a long time, standing tired, his legs became a little stiff in the end, and he was at a loss at the moment of standing alone, which made him inexplicably have the urge to cry, but finally ended with a wry smile.

A picture flashed in his memory, it was also a sunset, but it was not facing the tide, but on a very tall mountain.The mountain peak seemed to have a famous name, but he couldn't remember it, but he remembered that there was a stele of wind and cloud on it, but he couldn't remember what it looked like.

The hypnotic sound of the tide took effect. He liked the natural sound, so he let himself rest here with his eyes closed. There seemed to be a mighty piano sound coming from somewhere. Shi Yanwen curled his lips and fell into a deep sleep.

Naturally, as always, he still fell into that nightmare.

In the dream, there was no old man's voice, no one asked him for help, there was no sound, it was still the same fog, but Shi Yanwen didn't move around as usual, he fell into the abyss again before he moved half a step.This time, even in a dream, he could feel the icy cold all over his body, so cold that he couldn't even struggle, and let himself fall.

Still after that time, Shi Yanwen looked up at the unreachable ground, which was no longer ground, but a series of mountain ranges.The mountain he is most familiar with is thousands of feet below him, and he is not surprised. He subconsciously looks into the distance, and rows of people look at him expectantly and nervously...

It wasn't a weird picture, he was very happy when he saw the scene under the cliff for the first time, but he dreamed a lot, but he felt panic and uneasiness for no reason.When it was only a few kilometers away from the ground, a trace of fluff fell from his side, Shi Yanwen was extremely helpless, and let a familiar heavy blow hit the back of his head.

He also tried to turn around, but the thing always appeared from behind him, if he was cautious, the thing appeared from the top of his head again, like a beast hiding in a dream, and the ground was his inviolable territory.As soon as he approached, the thing tried its best to stop him, never letting him go, and it was the same this time.

He can only be forced to wake up.

I just didn't expect that when I woke up, I heard a strange voice ringing beside me.

"you're awake."

Shi Yanwen half-opened his eyes, his eyeballs moved, and his mind was so heavy that he felt like ten kilograms of paste had been put into his head. He couldn't even see clearly what was going on in front of him.

He mobilized the pure yang internal force in his body to dredge the whole body, and propping up the stone surface with his stiff and knotted palms, he finally woke up, and asked in a hoarse voice, "Who are you?"

The man stopped, put the fly whisk on his shoulders to his wrist, got up and walked in front of him, and when he got closer, he could clearly see the man's face, soft and indifferent, with an aura of indifference to the world, and the sleeves were full of tranquility and profoundness , with a sleepy expression on his expressionless face, and his eyes are full of meaning all the time.

He said lightly, "I haven't seen you in ten years, Your Excellency has faded away from the old man's shadow, I don't know if it's joy or worry."
