Penglai delusion

Ning Mansion is located in the northwest of Yunzhong City. It is built on the Nao Mountain. It is extremely large in scale and looks like a dragon.

Also known as Ningjiabao, it is a city within a city.Looking away, the walls are towering, the courtyards are layered on top of each other, row upon row, stretching endlessly.The momentum of leaning half the mountain, overlooking the prestige of a city.

When Xi Mo was about to walk to the gate tower, he suddenly felt that all the lights in the city had gone out.

The surrounding suddenly sank into darkness, except for a row of jujube lanterns hanging on the building stacks, burning and fluttering, elegant and eerie.

"Brother, do we really want to go in from here?" Yu Yin looked at the closed building door, hesitating.

"Yeah." Xi Mo said, "Or look for another door?"

The situation seemed familiar.Yu Yin paused for a moment, then said, "It's all good, I'll follow senior brother."

Xi Mo drove away along the corner with the remainder on his back.But I felt like I had walked for a long time without seeing the end, and when I looked back, the row of lanterns was still dangling tens of feet away.

He stopped and raised his chin to signal Yu Yin to look.

Yu Yin didn't want to turn around at all, "Senior brother, don't scare me."

"I didn't scare you." Xi Mo said, "Let's go, it seems that only that door can go."

As soon as the two pushed the door open, they found that it was okay. Although there was no one in the door, it was brightly lit, which was many times warmer than the dark outside.

It seems to use the warmth to wash away the wind and frost for the wanderer back home.

Such a comparison, the more I feel the cold wind blowing behind me, if there is a monster watching in the dark, intending to seduce the soul and kill.

Yu Yin's scalp was numb, "Brother, it's not right to walk."

"Go, don't look back." Xi Mo held the poison in his fingers, hid a knife in his sleeve, and wore a sword and a sword on his waist. He was absolutely fearless.

Although Yu Yin held the jade needle between her palms, she didn't dare to go half a step away from Xi Mo, and wished she could dangle on him with Yu Shu.This is next to people and barely entered the gatehouse.

There was nothing wrong with Xi Mo walking, but he felt that the weight on his back and the steps on his side became lighter.

In front of the first hanging flower door, Yu Shu and Yu Yin disappeared.

It's the same as when passing the flower team in the city.

Xi Mo didn't care for the moment, relaxed his shoulders and neck, turned his wrist, and immediately pushed the door open.

Unexpectedly, a child with a gloomy expression and a wound on the corner of his eye was looking up at him.

The eyes were black as if poisoned.

Xi Mo was startled, and only thought that this child looked very similar to Ning Liancheng.

Before he could speak, the child gestured his fingers to signal him to keep quiet, then turned and left.

Xi Mo followed him involuntarily, crossed the long cobbled road, and turned into a side courtyard.

Then he saw him secretly hiding in the shadow of a tree in the corner, holding a handful of bright red pills from his bosom, and devouring them one by one.

Xi Mo suddenly realized: This is...

A graceful woman came in from outside the courtyard.Unable to see this, he ran over a few steps, rubbed the child into his arms, and cried, "Shaoer, spit it out. Spit it out, you will die!"

"Mum, Shao'er is in pain, it doesn't hurt after eating."

The woman cried even harder, raised her hand and slapped herself across the face, "Mum is wrong, I won't hit you again, good boy, if you spit it out, Eminem will definitely stop hitting you."

The child nodded hesitantly, and the two of them slowly dispersed like smoke.

Xi Mo realized that he might have seen Ning Liancheng's childhood memories.

So, that crazy woman is Cui Ai?

He heard shouts and curses coming from outside, so he followed the sound and entered another courtyard, and saw Cui Ai stabbing the child's back with a hairpin, her fingers cracked, and she was as ferocious as a ghost, "How dare you eat it! Shao, are you threatening me?"

Ning Liancheng's hair was disheveled, his face was red with slap marks, his face was bulging and he was still chewing, his eyes were full of tears but he didn't dare to shed them, "Mother, your body is rotten, if you don't eat, it hurts."

"You eat, right?" Cui Ai found a bottle and stuffed it into his mouth, "Okay, I'll teach you how to eat!"

Ning Liancheng was forced to swallow the whole bottle of liquid, and then coughed, and then grabbed a eucalyptus tree and couldn't retch.

It is useful.He vomited out the contents of his stomach, and when he finally got up, there was only numbness left on his face.

"Mum, Shao'er is wrong."

His clothes were torn in a mess, and there were countless bruises under that fine attire.Some places are indeed red, swollen and festered.

Cui Ai could see it clearly, then broke down and burst into tears, hugged the child into her arms, and washed her face with tears, "Shao'er, Shao'er, E-Mu didn't do it on purpose, you must not tell anyone."

Ning Liancheng remained silent.

Cui Ai stroked his back pityingly, while sobbing, she said to herself, "If it wasn't for that little hoof, why would I have ended up in such a situation."

"Why does everyone, everyone, even your father like her?"

"Why should the youngest be the most favored?"

She tidied up the child's messy clothes, "Don't worry, Shaoer, you are the only child. If you do your best, you will get the best. I promise, you will be loved by everyone, for sure."

Taking advantage of his unpreparedness, Ning Liancheng quietly stuffed another stone into his mouth, and then nodded.

Seeing that the phantom faded away, Xi Mo went to the place where the children's voices were making noise.

In the Ning Family School at dusk, all the schoolchildren left, only Ning Liancheng held a book in his arms and bowed to the old master, "Thank you sir."

But when the master left, he slipped back again and looked into the bookcase, but no one could find him.

Cui Ai called Ning Shao outside, he covered his ears and pretended not to hear.

The picture book flipped in the hand is called "Penglai Travel Notes".

The sky was getting darker, fireflies fluttered in the pot on his knees, and he smiled softly, the ever-present haze between his brows lightened a little.

Xi Mo stood outside the cabinet, watching the child flip through the thin booklet many times through the dim shadow.After getting up again and stepping out of the bookcase, it seems that he has grown a lot taller.

He followed Ning Liancheng back.

Watching the child push the door open and walk up to Cui Ai, he mustered up his courage and said, "Mother, Penglai has cleared the way."

Cui Ai put down the shirt, stared at him, and said displeasedly, "If you want to go, I will go with you."

Ning Liancheng said, "Then let's go together. This family shouldn't stay any longer."

Cui Ai seemed to have seen him disobedient for the first time, and she became anxious, "If you dare to go out from here, the friendship between you and my mother and child will be lost, and the friendship will be broken."

Ning Liancheng wavered, but in the end he didn't go out.

Seeing this, Cui Ai picked up the embroidery needle and began to pierce him, "Mum loves you, don't leave, can't leave, I'll be ruined if you leave."

Ning Liancheng swallowed his tears and nodded, "Good mother, Shaoer will not leave."

Cui Ai burst into laughter, "Let's go? Where do you want to go? Sure enough, it didn't come out of my stomach. The wild species that I don't know well, the white-eyed wolf in the mountain den, now I just want to run out at a young age? "

She frowned and said, "You are not allowed to go anywhere. You are not allowed anywhere."

Ning Liancheng was stunned.

After Cui Ai fell asleep, she washed herself and ran away secretly wearing new clothes.

When he climbed over the courtyard wall alone, he was bumped into by a patrolling domestic servant.

"Young master, be careful." The servant picked him up, showing a bit of reluctance.After hesitating for a moment, he took out a handful of silver beans from his bosom, "We heard that you want to go to Penglai, please take it. This is not like the things you gave us in the past, but it is a little thought."

Ning Liancheng was immediately embarrassed, bit his lip, but still accepted the kindness.He bowed to his servant again, and ran away in a hurry, not daring to delay any longer.

Xi Mo watched him stumbling and running away, the scene in front of him was suddenly different.

A desolate young boy was stopped at the entrance of the alley by a limping man, and he asked kindly, "Little friend, you've been wandering around here for two days, do you want to help?"

But Ning Liancheng hadn't spoken yet, someone behind him answered.

"Blocking the way." When he turned his head, he saw a little girl with a slender figure and a cold and arrogant expression, carrying a pipa on her back.

Ning Liancheng apologized, but when he looked up, he saw the girl lifted the red sandalwood lute, passed him, and knocked on the man's forehead.

The man was beaten with blood all over his face, he was so frightened that he didn't want the kidnappers, he staggered and ran away.

Ning Liancheng expressed doubts.

The girl didn't take it seriously, "It's a personal tooth. I was beaten by me just yesterday, so I don't have a long memory."

Ning Liancheng was at a loss for words for a while, and could only say, "Thank you lady for helping me out."

The girl nodded, "No thanks. My pipa is very expensive, you should pay for it."

Ning Liancheng was at a loss, "...Sorry, I may not even be able to sit on a boat right now."

The girl frowned, "Whose child are you?"

"I am..." Ning Liancheng hesitated, "The Ning family in Yunzhong is called Ning Shao."

The girl was silent for a moment, but said, "Why, the family didn't give you a word?"

Ning Liancheng:?

The girl said, "That's all. I'm Cui Xi, and my name is Yangqing. You can also call me Sister."

Ning Liancheng showed doubts, "Then... let's call her Miss Cui."

Cui Yangqing was indifferent as usual, "It's up to you."

Then he said, "Let's go, buy a ticket."

Xi Mo's heart softened a little, thinking that this was the first time the two met.Only their backs were gradually blown away by the sea breeze, and when they gathered together, it was the scene in the cabin again.

Ning Liancheng was lying on the couch, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Cui Ai standing in front of him.

She looked dignified and well-groomed, like a loving mother who had come to see her son off

——If you ignore the burning madness in her eyes.

At that moment, Ning Liancheng was silent, subconsciously glanced at the closet in the corner.

"Why, do you want to hide in the cabinet again?" Cui Ai smiled, "Shaoer, don't think I don't know, I know where you stay every time."

Ning Liancheng tightly gripped the bedding with his fingers.

"You are really amazing. You came here alone?"

He couldn't breathe.

"I'll give you another chance, Ning Shao. You get off the boat now, and we go back together, as if nothing happened. Otherwise, I won't recognize you again, and the Ning family doesn't have a son like you."

Ning Liancheng's face was flushed red.But as if he had gained a little courage from Cui Yangqing, he stared for a while and shook his head resolutely.

Cui Ai looked at him expressionlessly.

"Okay, you are all the same, you are all the same. You all tried every means to leave me and go to Penglai in Laoshizi." She said, "It's very good."

"Ning Shao, run away. The next time you enter the gate of Ning's house, either you will die or I will die." She pulled off the hairpin on her head, with a fierce look in her eyes, "If you break this oath, you will be like this hairpin."

After saying that, he walked away and never looked back.

Ning Liancheng was taken aback, looking at the toothpin on the ground that had been folded in two, his gray lips were half-open, unable to say what was choked in his throat.

When the illusion completely disappeared, Xi Mo found that he was still in the posture of pushing the door.

His arms were a little sore, but the Yu brothers and sisters were still not around.

At this time, the thick mist opened and closed around, and it was like blinding the eyes a meter away.Following the directions in his memory, he pushed through the fog to find a path, and gradually found Ning's private school.

Bypassing the dusty tables and chairs, he opened the dilapidated bookcase standing against the wall.

Ning Liancheng was indeed hiding inside.

Although the cabinet was indeed a bit cramped for him now, it was still a very safe place, so he still curled up like a baby and slept soundly.

"Brother." Xi Mo's soft voice was enough to wake him up.

Ning Liancheng seemed to be awakening from a dream, his slightly opened peach eyes were still misty, "Junior Brother... I seemed to have dreamed of you just now."

"I did enter senior brother's dream just now." Xi Mo said without concealment, "Senior brother, thank you for your hard work."

Ning Liancheng was stunned for a moment, then suddenly smiled, "Sorry, I made you worry."

He stood up and turned out the cabinet, "Since I wake up, nothing will happen."

"Brother..."

"This is probably my catastrophe." Ning Liancheng closed the counter, as gentle as ever, "Aunt is crazy, I knew it a long time ago. If I don't leave, maybe she won't really go crazy."

"Later she went completely insane, and my father captured the demon clan to make medicine, and committed countless murders. And Ji Ye fell into the devil because my mother was made into medicine."

There seemed to be tides rising and falling in his eyes, "This red star was created by me alone. I... am really sorry for dragging innocent people here."

Xi Mo sighed, "So I don't want to be a kind person anymore."

He blinked, "Brother, a kind person always wants to attribute all evil causes to himself. But the fact is that no evil effect is caused by one person."

"It's not kindness." Ning Liancheng paused, "I always think that everywhere is peaceful, and I also think that family members who have never met will be better off because of it. The way I seek is nothing more than a clear conscience."

"But it's really hard," he said. "A sad life deserves a name, and a sad life deserves a death."

"Even so, I'm willing to die."
