Thousand Lantern Night

That moment from where it all started on that train, the moment I said I was naive, the wheel of fortune started turning.

There was a big turning point in Wu Xie's life.Before that inflection point, he was innocent under the wings of others.When he put on the mask of Wu Sansheng, he became another person who saw through the sinister nature of human beings and had to use decisive and ruthless means to deal with the fake face.

These people in front of me, Zhang Qiling, Xie Yuhua, and Fatty, everything they did was to protect Wu Xie's innocence to the greatest extent, but they never seemed to think that no matter how naive Wu Xie was, he would become another unscrupulous people.Whether protection is needed or not depends not only on whether a person's internal stress is strong enough, but also on whether he is willing to refuse possession and choose to control instead.

Obviously, at the moment Zhang Qiling left, Wu Xie became stronger at the fastest speed, and chose to give up, or to suppress his most fatal weakness: innocence.Perhaps releasing the memories about Zhang Qiling to Guixi seems to be a forced and helpless move, but maybe it is Wu Xie's subconscious automatic choice.Because keeping Silly Baitian needs to pay the price of losing some people and some things, then Wu Xie must very much not want to be stable in this world.

Then everything went wrong, and I fulfilled the silly white sweetness he left behind.It’s like wearing a white gown and tied red silk, swinging your arms and starting to twist Yangko, singing "Silly, white and sweet innocence is my love" all the way, in a deliberate and funny way, entered the vision of these people, and began to repeat Wu Xie's life.

Really, very mean.

The fat man didn't know what to say when he saw that I was silent.He put his hand on my shoulder, first patted it, and then squeezed it twice.

I pushed the fat man's hand away and asked him: "You mean I still have a choice, which is to choose to be used by you or someone else, right?"

The fat man gave a "tsk", as if he didn't quite agree with what I said.However, he thought about it for a while and still did not deny my statement: "If you insist on thinking this way, it's not far from it. But you have to understand that cooperating with us can at least guarantee your personal safety. It has to be replaced by outsiders , then maybe something will happen. Besides—” Fatty pointed to my head, “The memories of innocence are all in you, little brother and Master Huaer, no matter what happens, nothing will happen to you.”

I froze for a moment.I understand what the fat man means.

yes.My memory is someone else's.I was like an empty glass, and I was not happy with the water I finally filled a glass of. People came up and said that the water belonged to that uncle, and I had to return it to him.

I don't want to tell the fat man that I'm not afraid of safety or insecurity at all, because I'm not only invulnerable to all kinds of poisons, but even if I get cut two paragraphs, I guess I can seamlessly connect.This is not what a normal person should look like at all.I'm just afraid that I won't find myself.

At this time, I suddenly understood why Zhang Qiling had been going through mountains and mountains to find his own life experience. It turned out to be a very scary thing for a person to find himself in the world.I also finally understand why Zhang Qiling cares so much about Wu Xie. Those who do not have any connection with the outside world are dead things, and a living person will definitely have the desire to connect with this world.For Zhang Qiling, Wu Xie is the window to the world, the redemption that saves him from being lost.

And like Zhang Qiling, I need to find myself, to find my connection with the world.This is the essential requirement of almost all life forms.But the problem is, Zhang Qiling and Wu Xie can help him record his whereabouts, but I have none.Not myself, nor anyone else.Zhang Qiling is right, I subconsciously want to be Wu Xie.Because of becoming Wu Xie, I have goals that I can pursue.But if I'm still me, I don't know why I'm here, what to do, what to be.

This state is probably the true feeling that Zhang Qiling perceives every time he returns to the crowd from amnesia.

I looked up at Zhang Qiling, who was standing in front of me, also holding a knife and looking down at me.I said to him: "Even if it's just a vain illusion, I have the right to know the ins and outs of myself. If Wu Xie is saved, can you tell me everything about me?"

Zhang Qiling looked at me silently, his brows were tightly frowned, he didn't look any better than me.After being silent for a while, he said: "Fate has already arranged everything. You just need to follow the original path, and the truth you want will be waiting for you at the end of the path."

I smiled helplessly: "So, I still have no fucking choice."

I'm getting tired of this group of people, I'm like a duck who has been tricked into prostitution, let them be pressed to death in the kiln, and there is no fucking room for resistance.But the duck still has an income. I don’t even talk about my work for nothing, and I don’t even provide lunch boxes.And one by one fiercely, I almost vomited in my turn.

With a dark face, Zhang Qiling looked sad, and said, "You save Wu Xie. I promise you, when that time comes, I will give you the freedom to choose."

It's a condition for him to open a deal.

I finally received paid guests.

It's no good for anyone to be sad any longer.I am still aware of this.Now that Zhang Qiling has said that, I seem to have no other choice but to follow the road.

So I reached out and put a hand on the fat man's shoulder, stood up and asked him, "How can I help?"

He glanced at Zhang Yinzhen and said, "We want to cooperate with them."

Now that the two parties have reached an agreement, there is no need for me to put on airs.She nodded briskly, and walked with him to Zhang Yinzhen's meeting place.

The fat man put one hand on my shoulder. He was fat and bold, and he didn't care about me. He just said a little sadly: "We are naive, and we like to give the fat man a problem. Every time there is a problem, then I really can only count on my little brother. The three of us are evil fate."

The meeting between Zhang Yinzhen's team and Xiaohua's black glasses seemed to be at an impasse. Seeing us pass by, Xiaohua stood up and looked at me, without saying a word, she directly dragged me over: "Come here."

The three of us sat on the floor.Joined multilateral talks of mutual benefit.

I asked straight to the point, "What's the situation now?"

Because it is the home field of the technical team led by Zhang Yinzhen, the right to speak on the scene is also dominated by him: "We can't detect energy outside because the energy field here is disrupted. It is speculated that the position of the ring was forcibly moved. Caused. Those crystals are similar to insulating facilities, enveloping the energy inside. If you forcefully open the crystals and take out the ring, the energy inside will also be dissipated."

The fat man smacked his lips and asked, "What will happen if it comes out?"

Zhang Yinzhen said: "The problem lies in the energy itself. I believe that you have seen the Da Zi Zai Tian outside, and you already know that the energy contained in the ghost ring is divided into two types: life energy and death energy. The two types represent the witches of the Jiuli tribe. Power: creation and destruction. Since ancient times, the survival of all things in the world has depended on the balance of energy, which is the harmony of yin and yang mentioned in the Book of Changes. The energy of the ghost ring will be adjusted according to the energy in the environment. This phantom tomb itself is full of dead energy, then the internal stress of the ghost ring will be adjusted for life. This is why after the ghost ring is taken down, the dead energy will fill the tower, killing everyone."

Hearing what Zhang Yinzhen said, my intuition is very reasonable.The previous Kunlun Tomb and the Queen Mother of the West, the tomb itself should contain a lot of life energy, so that some messy life forms flourished there, such as eyes, charms, Xiaobai, giant snakes, and greasy Zan bar or something.And there are no superfluous monsters here in Tallinn, and even the ghost descended is a dead thing planted with a soul.

This can also explain why ghost rings that belong to the craftsmanship of later generations appear in ancient clan tombs, just like what Wang Zanghai did. energy to harmonize the energy inside the tomb.Therefore, the existence of ghost rings and ancient tombs is like a symbiotic system in nature.

It's hard to imagine how many terrifying monsters would be created by the living energy in those ancient tombs without the power balance of the ghost ring.There are various legends about monsters circulating among folks all over the world. Could it be a similar origin?A rare creature created because of an energy imbalance in nature?

Xiao Hua nodded, and continued: "Wu Xie knew that the ghost ring was in this place at the time, so he came down to get it in a hurry, but he didn't understand the symbiosis system in this place, so he took the ghost ring in a hurry, which triggered the release of dead energy."

Over there with a mocking smile, Qin Ai snorted, "It's a good thing this kid got the ghost ring, otherwise he would have turned into a heap of ashes by now, and it's a blessing to be able to leave a whole body."

Although Qin Ai's words are not pleasant, they are not rough.What method Wu Xie used to take away the ghost ring is no longer known.However, the dislocation of the ghost ring led to the collapse of the system in the tower, and the release of dead energy is the same as touching the mechanism in the tomb.But because Wu Xie clung to the ghost ring, the life energy of the ghost ring was activated by accident, and the spar was formed to trap the dead energy, which also caused him to be trapped in it.

In this way, Wu Xie and the ghost ring are bound as one, forming a new symbiosis with the dead energy in the tower, preserving what we see now.Of course, it is precisely because of the formation of new symbiosis and the convergence of dead energy that the black glasses have a chance to escape before the phantom Tallinn disappears.

Fatty couldn't listen to others slandering Wu Xie. When Qin Ai said this, he immediately jumped up: "What do you say, kid? You're so greedy, why don't Fatty make a hole in the stone wall for you to let it go?" You are also good luck? You must be much more beautiful than naive, that enchanting and colorful, no matter how strong your energy body is, it can't hold back your soaring arrogance."

"Clean your fucking mouth—" Qin Ai wanted to retort, but Zhang Yinzhen pressed his shoulder and forced him to shut up.

Zhang Yinzhen said: "Now it is clear how the stone wall came here. The next question is how to open the spar and take out the ghost ring. According to your intentions, if you want to protect the whole body of the third master of the Wu family, it will increase the difficulty." .”

Poker bottle said: "There is no increase in difficulty. You have to collect the ring in the same way as the Queen Mother of the West. As long as a gap is broken in the stone wall, the dead energy inside will be released. Only when the stone wall is opened and the power of the ghost ring is activated, All talents may withdraw safely. You find a way to stabilize, Wu Xie's people, leave it to me."
