Thousand Lantern Night

Hearing this, Zhang Yinzhen's face was also extremely solemn. He glanced at the giant fetal sac again, then turned his head halfway, and nodded to Qin Ai and Dan Lang.The latter two looked at each other, and Qin Ai turned around to talk quietly with the two foreigners.

Finally, there was one time when Fatty and Qin Ai had the same views, this time Fatty didn't hold back, and supported him with all his strength: "Yes, yes, yes! Since this place hides the energy that turns decay into magic, then this place grows here It’s either a demon or a fairy! Just now, you can see that there is something really interesting in it, quickly open it and take a look, maybe the immortality elixir that the ancients dreamed of grows here! One person, one pill, will reach the Paradise of Paradise as soon as possible!”

"What bliss fairyland, I want to go to you alone." Qin Ai didn't understand Fatty's three views, "You think it's a smack, bliss, sir! Let's say it first, no matter what is in it, we each Take what you need without hindering each other. If you dare to play tricks, don't blame grandpa for being rude!"

As he spoke, he signaled the two foreigners to follow him to the fetal sac.Xiaohua stopped Zhang Yinzhen: "I know you want to take the things here out. Your purpose is the same as Wang Zanghai's, right? But if the energy here is released, it will only bring disaster to the outside. So, You are afraid that you will not be able to do so.”

Zhang Yinzhen stared at Xiao Hua silently, seeming to be worried.The two confronted each other, and neither made a move.

"It's incredible!" Peter let out an exclamation of amazement and joy as he groped along the behemoth.He walked around behind the fetal sac, ready to roughly measure the diameter with Evans, and calculate the volume and density of the thing.Not sure how they want to open this thing.

Suddenly, Peter noticed something. "Hey! This one has a mural on it!"

These words immediately attracted everyone's attention.We immediately went to check.

The place where the fetal sac was punctured by Zhang Qiling was gurgling liquid, with a strange fishy smell, flowing to the rusty yellow ground.The layer of white smoke on the surface is still there, and after the liquid flows in, the white smoke flows more quickly, and slowly rises a thin layer of smoke like bubbles at the black gold entrance.The smoke screen was like a mirror, and the mirror surface was piled up like clouds, and soon the image shook, and another Zhang Qiling appeared!

That layer of smoke appeared very suddenly, just as I walked over, Zhang Qiling suddenly appeared.I seemed to walk through him, stumbled, and slid through the smoke.At that moment, I felt as if I was hit by a strong electric current, and my scalp was tingling and numb.Turning his head, he found that the smoke screen was just a layer of smoke-like transparent screen, and that Zhang Qiling was just an image, sitting cross-legged in meditation.And Zhang Qiling, who followed us in, was standing silently behind the smoke screen and looking at me.

The moment my mind exploded, I felt that through the smoke screen, he became as blurred as smoke.It seems that it will disappear at any time.

Then, all of a sudden, there was only the clear sound of dripping water in my head, tick, tick, tick—the only sound that never ends.

My whole body seemed to be sunk in a warm swamp, my whole body was wrapped in a warm, wet and greasy towel, and I was drowsy, no matter how I tried to shake my hands and feet, I couldn't break free.There was complete darkness around me. Whenever my whole body twitched suddenly, I could hear a bubbling sound, and then, the sound of dripping water obviously accelerated.

I don't know how long this state lasted.Until one day, a strange sound suddenly appeared outside.

"Wu Xie, the ten-year agreement is fake. I just want you to live a good life. Ten years is a long time. After the past, you have probably returned to a normal life. Even if you will think of me, you probably won't Don't look for me like that again. Wu Xie, that's what I want to see."

It was the first time I heard anything other than dripping water.But this voice doesn't happen very often, it just pops up out of the blue occasionally.

"Wu Xie, I don't know how many days have passed. You should have gone down the mountain. I sent someone a message to Xie Yuhua, and he should come to pick you up. You are the most persistent person I have ever met. Compared with those The lama is still persistent. I’m afraid you won’t go back by yourself, because it’s dangerous in the mountains. The winter in Hangzhou is quite cold, but I like it very much.”

Of course, maybe it's because I was asleep for a long time and didn't listen to him all the time.And I couldn't understand what he said.

"Wu Xie. I used to think that it was easy for me to forget things, just keep losing my memory. Now it seems that it is quite difficult to forget you. I hope it will be easier for you to forget, don't keep remembering. It won't be long before I won't exist, and the impression about you will follow me until that time. It's good, you live in my heart, at least I won't feel very lonely.

I woke up, turned over, and my head and feet were hanging in the air.Gradually something was wrong, and I felt that the swamp was tightening from time to time, and when it tightened, it almost squeezed me flat.I don't know how long it took, but I felt my head was squeezed out, sandwiched by two thick and hard things, and I couldn't move.I struggled desperately, grabbed the two layers of things with my hands and pulled them hard.

"Wu Xie, turning a blind eye to you before parting is the only way I can think of to love you. Because I just want you to be safe and happy in the world, bathing in the sunrise and moonset. Wu Xie, I like to hear people call you naive .”

The process of being clamped lasted for a long, long time.In the end, I used my hands and feet together, tearing and kicking, and finally broke free.There was also a lot of water gushing out at the same time, and it washed me far away.There was a burst of cold on my face, I was cold and hungry, and I wanted to eat like crazy.At this time, the voice sounded again.

"Go to Hangzhou and find a man named Wu Xie. If he is in trouble, you have to protect him. My strength is only so much left. When the time comes, I will let it send you down the mountain. After that, you must on your own."

I searched for the sound, but couldn't find where it came from.After that, he didn't make any more sound.However, my keen sense of smell smelled a smell that didn't belong here, it was a sweet, food smell.I was so hungry, the smell was so attractive to me——when the black unicorn passed by with a person on its back, I pounced on it without hesitation, threw him off the unicorn's back, and tore open his stomach , gobbled it up.

I ate very fast and finished him almost in an instant.Immediately afterwards, I was bitten on the back suddenly, and the unicorn bit me up and threw me on the back, and rushed towards a door quickly.

-

When I felt this missing memory, I couldn't help shaking all over my body.I was frightened to the limit, and I wanted to scream in horror, but found that I couldn't make a sound at all.

I couldn't even make a sound because I was so frightened.

Those scenes were like images, played clearly in front of me.

The thing that came out of this earth-born womb in the chaos was as big as an adult, and could distinguish the head and limbs, but without facial features and hair, it looked like a skinned person, or apes.It climbs nimbly on the fetal sac and instinctively searches for food.

It is the fetal spirit of this earth.

Zhang Qiling was near the fetal sac.It's just that the space where he lives is staggered from the space where Tailing is, so Tailing can hear him but can't see him.The energy of Heaven Magic and Earth Yellow is constantly changing, and the two spaces gradually overlap.

If Zhang Qiling didn't miss Wu Xie so much, he wouldn't release so much energy, so that in this place where all things are created, Wu Xie would be materialized by his thoughts.This Wu Xie was out of control by Zhang Qiling.However, Zhang Qiling's plan was to let Wu Xie enter the world to confuse the eyes of certain organizations.He gave Wu Xie his strength and sent him out of the mountain.

Zhang Qiling pushed open the bronze door with his last strength, and then his true self disappeared.The power of the Zhang family was materialized by him into a black unicorn, which carried Wu Xie out of the mountain.

Then, the fetal spirit happened to meet Wu Xie who was about to come out of the mountain.Under extreme hunger, he ate this Wu Xie into his stomach.

After eating Wu Xie's fetal spirit, it slowly grew into an appearance that was exactly the same as Wu Xie!

After learning about this memory, those trivial clues connected in series can finally answer all the questions about me.

Why did I know nothing about myself and the whole world before I got Wu Xie's memory? It's because species like fetal spirits are born without memory.

Why do unicorn tattoos appear on my body, and why Zhang Qiling suddenly appeared at my critical moment; it is because Zhang Qiling transferred his power to Wu Xie, and I ate Wu Xie, and I also ate the Zhang family's power from Wu Xie.

Why is the highly poisonous snow mountain grass on Qilian Mountain completely useless to me; because I am transformed by chaotic energy, all deadly forces in this world will not threaten me.

Why Xiaobai will show kindness to me when he sees me; it's not that I am more friendly than Wang Jianqiang, but because Xiaobai and I belong to the same species in essence.

Why no one else can get the three ghost rings, only I can get them; it's not like Zhang Qiling said that there is a contract between ghosts and gods, but because holding a ghost ring requires chaotic energy, and I am the best carrier to transport ghost rings.

-

Why do I have instant explosive power, once the potential is activated, even the bullets of Quodan can be reversed with bare hands; why the burning flame array in Yujiang's tomb didn't roast me; why can I receive it in the illusion of the Queen Mother of the West? The message sent by Wu Xie; why can I use the power of Guixi to inhale Chi You's dead spirit into my body——

All of this is related to my real life experience.

My ears are ringing, my mouth is dry, and even though the temperature here is suitable, I feel an indescribable coldness all over my body.Like a cold snake wantonly burrowing holes deep in my bones, I couldn't stop trembling.I wanted to stand up from the ground, but I couldn't use the strength at all. After climbing several times, I fell heavily to the ground.

The others were all attracted by the mural, and didn't notice my strangeness.I heard them buzzing about something, but couldn't hear a word.But I still know that the mural is a portrait without a face, that is the portrait of Wu Xie carved by Zhang Qiling with a knife, and it is all Zhang Qiling's obsession with Wu Xie.It is this obsession that has nowhere to counteract, and finally materialized by the chaotic energy into a Mei—a Mei that is exactly the same as Wu Xie.

If I hadn't eaten that charm by mistake, then it would be the one who got Wu Xie's memory when I returned to Hangzhou, and it should be the one who became Wu Xie logically.And I will not have the opportunity to go out of this door. I will only continue to be infiltrated by the chaotic energy fiercely but alone here, until thousands of years later, I will truly become a living person.

It turned out that what I saw in the illusion of the Queen Mother of the West was actually the scene when I was born.There was a dead silence all around, only the horrible sound of dripping water that made me shudder, still ticking, ticking, ticking, endless.

Out of breath, I arched my back and curled up on the ground, banging my head on the ground vigorously, and smashing my ears hard.Stop ringing!Stop ringing!I am from human society, I am not a monster!I'm not the kind of monster with no face and no facial features!I'm not some disgusting monster that eats people!

That's right!I am human, I am Wu Xie!I am Wu Xie!As long as I eat the real Wu Xie, then I can become the only Wu Xie!I have to go back!I want to go back to Beijing!

Panting heavily, I stood up from the ground and walked towards Zhang Qiling unsteadily.The energy emitted from the fetal sac is limited, and the shadow screen has disappeared.I passed by Hei Jin, casually held the knife in my hand, walked up to Zhang Qiling step by step, and put Hei Jin on his neck.

"You already knew I was a monster, didn't you? Zhang Qiling, why didn't you tell me earlier? Isn't it interesting to see me in such a mess!"

Zhang Qiling looked at me calmly, his eyes were still as deep as usual, but for the first time, I saw desolation and haggardness.He shook his head very slightly: "Before just now, I only knew that you were not Wu Xie, and I always thought that you were just another Wu Xie created by my thoughts. But I can't say that all this has nothing to do with me. I accept During the training, I was taught that I must control my emotions in the face of anyone and everything. I should not have created another Wu Xie. I have no way to control Wu Xie."

I smiled miserably: "So? You can just watch a show without saying anything, watching me go crazy? Zhang Qiling, don't you think it's cruel?"

"I'm sorry." For the last time, Zhang Qiling said sorry to me.He said: "I promised you that I will give you a chance. After you know your life experience, I will give you the freedom to choose. If you want to go down the mountain and live the life you want, I will not stop you."

I nodded: "This is the condition you offered me to help you save Wu Xie last time. If there was no such deal, what would you have done? Originally, you thought I was created by you, so you wanted to destroy me?"

Zhang Qiling didn't answer right away, but in his eyes, I saw persistence without hesitation.He said slowly: "If the energy here is scattered, it will disturb the order of the outside world. Before I dissipate completely, I should personally correct the mistakes I made."

Looking at his appearance as a savior, I actually found it very funny.So I really laughed out loud, until tears came out: "But you give me the freedom to choose, then, I will completely destroy you! I will go down the mountain and eat Wu Xie. From then on, the real Wu Xie I'm the only one. He has long lost his past memories, and the only person in this world who remembers you no longer exists!"

"You can't destroy me, just like I can't destroy you. I have the same origin as you, the energy of chaos will never dissipate, and you and I will never be destroyed." Zhang Qiling suddenly smiled.Just like when he and I thought I was Wu Xie, he smiled at me.But this time the smile was full of helplessness and bitterness.After all, he is not a god. When he is saddest, he still has human emotions, and when he can't control it, he will show it. "Wu Xie doesn't remember me, it's a good thing for him. Without me, he is really innocent. Just let him-forget about me forever. But if you will hurt him, then I will take me back." promise, I will not let you out of this mountain."

"Same family? What do you mean? Are you also a fetal spirit!" Zhang Qiling's words surprised me, but according to the previous information, Wu Xie collected information about the head of the Zhang family being the Wannu King, and about the information left by Wang Zanghai. The information that King Wannu is a monster crawling up from the ground, and the information that Zhang Qiling's power can merge with me—the answer is obvious.

Zhang Qiling did not answer.

And there seems to be a reasonable explanation for all the puzzles about him.

turn out to be.No wonder.

I don't know why people are greedy for immortality.Who can understand what kind of desperation it is when you can really live forever?Eternal life is completely meaningless to you, but you will repeat the new life endlessly. When even asking for death is a luxury, life becomes an endless waste.

Xiaohua and Zhang Yinzhen are still confronting each other, while Fatty and Qin Ai seem to be arguing.I heard the fat man yelling: "You fucking dare to take it out, I will never end with you!"

Qin Ai said coldly: "If you obstruct our affairs, don't blame me for using real swords and guns to attack you! I tell you, I must take this thing away!"

Just at this time, the sound of horns and camel bells came from far away, accompanied by the sound of neat steps, the sound of horseshoes and the sound of wheels, and they were galloping towards us quickly.A hoarse male voice came over like an echo, and said with a gentle smile, "Stop arguing, one of you who has arrived here, don't even think about getting out."
