Si Tian Guan

Qu Shenzhou's face turned pale in an instant.

After seeing those two people on the mountainside, he thought about it. Although the "tree monster" named Yan Guiqi was amazingly powerful and possessed overwhelming power, he did not take the initiative to attack them.

Even Ding Lekang, who took the first shot, only injured his shoulder after An Ning stopped him.

From this point of view, the so-called rumors of cannibalism are probably nothing more than the fear of people who have seen them, and they scare themselves. Maybe the reasons for the disappearance of those travelers need to be investigated in detail.

But it never occurred to him that besides Yan Guiqi, there is actually a real strange tree, and Ding Lekang's death hexagram will be fulfilled here.

There is no room for him to think about it right now, the branch is climbing extremely fast, his arms are bound and he can't move away from his body, he can only see the shadow in his vision infinitely magnified in his eyes.

The footsteps behind him were getting closer and closer, and a huge force suddenly hit his shoulder, and the branches cut off by the sword light fell like rain.

With the strength of the collision, Liu Chongming broke free from the restraints on his wrists, hugged him tightly, and the two of them threw forward for more than one foot.

"go!"

Qu Shenzhou didn't dare to delay for a moment, rolled up and pulled his hand back, but felt that there was a force pulling Liu Chongming back.

"Don't look back!" Liu Chongming gritted his teeth and shouted, turned around and swung his sword, pulled him up, and ran all the way down the mountain without touching the ground.

He didn't run very far, only to hear a sudden sound behind him, like thunder on the ground, and the already dark sky was lit up by scattered sparks.

But the scene just now was too horrifying, and no one dared to stop. They kept climbing to the foot of the mountain, and then looked back to see that the nearest tree was some distance away, and threw themselves on the ground exhausted.

Liu Chongming lay on his back on the ground, panting badly, feeling a burning pain in his chest, pressed his hand for a while, and murmured in shock.

"Damn, that's bad..."

It is indeed bad.

They encountered the most troublesome situation.

Ding Lekang died, much earlier than they expected, and the signal that exploded just now was probably caused by the man-eating tree shaking off Ding Lekang's body and lighting it up inadvertently.

Even leaving aside those two inexplicable weirdos and the man-eating tree that killed Ding Lekang, the fireworks were the spark that ignited the Cold War—the people who secretly followed Ding Lekang and him outside Chengsong Ridge could see clearly.

This spark will burn all the way to Dingling Hill, ten miles away, and the two parties will chase and fight under the night, intercepting and being intercepted, each other is the hunter and the prey of each other.

And he and Qu Chenzhou were trapped in this inaccessible mountain, with only the two swords in their hands, they had to walk resignedly to the ten miles, let alone such a long journey.

Meet unexpectedly, maybe a partner, maybe an enemy.

What's worse, this is not the way up the mountain, not to mention finding the guards and horses, there is an endless forest in front of you, and you have to grope for the way back.

He sat up, didn't have time to care about the pain in his leg, touched his side, and called softly: "Shen Zhou?"

Since going down the mountain, I haven't heard a word from the little fox.

The man was still by his side, as if awakened by his tug, and was rarely willing to answer him properly.

"My lord, you said..." The voice was a little hesitant: "Could I really be a monster?"

"Yes."

Qu Chenzhou didn't expect him to answer so quickly, without any consolation, he let out an oh, and stopped talking.

"Shen Zhou, you should have heard the saying, those who steal the hook will be punished, and those who steal the country will be martyred."

He turned over and lay beside Qu Shenzhou, with his arms wrapped around the thin waist. The other party really didn't have any thoughts and didn't push him away.

"how?"

"It doesn't matter whether you are good or evil, a ghost or a god. If you stand low and let others bully you, you are a monster. If you stand high and worship people, you are a god."

Qu Chenzhou looked at him sideways in the darkening sky: "Am I a god?"

"You are."

The night had dimmed the look of the close at hand, and it took a long time for a rebuttal: "I'm not..."

"You are!" His tone became firmer.

Qu Chenzhou was suddenly annoyed, grabbed his hand on his waist and threw it aside: "Get out!"

"You're wronged, get out with me, little fairy," Liu Chongming stretched out his hand and pulled him to stand up: "It's getting dark, let's find something to eat first, it looks like we're going to sleep out tonight, and we need a shelter from the wind." .”

The forest was already dark, and after dark, they couldn’t even see their fingers. Although they were carrying fire folds and flints, now was not the time to waste, so they supported each other, one foot deep and the other shallow, sticking to the foot of the mountain to find their way. .

The place where they came down was flanked by two mountains, and it was not easy to walk. After a few steps forward, Qu Chenzhou stopped.

"Tired?"

Just as Liu Chongming asked, he was pushed back and sat on the rock. He touched his legs with his hands, and he quickly grabbed them, feeling a little embarrassed for a moment.

"I want it, right? This place is not good. Let's find a flatter place later...uh..."

That hand squeezed the flesh on his leg and twisted it hard, the pain caused his voice to change at the end.

"Where is it hurt?"

Without waiting for him to answer, the hand in the dark has already touched the stickiness of the calf, and the branch that penetrated the flesh was cut off, but it was still inside.

The sound of silk being torn was heard one after another, and several cloth belts were loosely wrapped between the legs.

"Chongming, bear with me, I'm going to pull it out."

Hearing this voice call this name again, Liu Chongming was stunned for a moment, then felt a piercing pain flying from his calf all over his body, and a burst of dizziness rushed into his head.

He shivered suddenly.

The pain just now had an unusually familiar feeling.

A piercing pain wrapped in silence and despair.

Qu Chenzhou fumbled to tie the wound for him, and asked softly, "Can I go?"

In the haze, that hand was stretched out in front of him, for some reason, the tip of his nose suddenly felt sour, and he lost his mind for a moment, held that hand, and buried his whole face in it.

"Shen Zhou, I really want to..."

With a crisp snap, the last word "you" was typed back into his stomach.

Liu Chongming covered half of his face, was led by a branch, and walked slowly behind.

"Shen..."

"World……"

The two spoke at the same time, Liu Chongming hurriedly retracted: "You speak first."

"The son has a lot to do with his life, so there is no need to take risks to save me. In the future, there will be no such thing."

He was stunned: "You mean, let me treat you with death?"

"Your Majesty killed me on the soul-breaking stage," the words from the front were as cold as the wind in the forest: "Give me a slave mark twice, and drag me through the streets twice, it's just a mere death, why bother to pretend?"

Liu Chongming choked in his throat, and asked softly: "Shen Zhou, if you want, mine..."

"Do you want the son's life? What do you want to do? Do you want to fry it?"

He could see that Qu Chenzhou's mood was more upset than usual, so he could only respond repeatedly: "Listen to you, I will listen to you."

"Listen to me what?"

This is a gift proposition, he thought about it for a moment, and replied sincerely: "I listen to you, eat more parsley when I go back."

I don't know if I got the answer right, the person in front didn't find any faults, walked for a while in silence, and replied: "You said that."

In this season, the fruits in the mountains are harvested in abundance. Although Liu Chongming's knowledge is limited, it is better than Qu Shenzhou's eyes are darkened. He finally picked some along the way, and found a place to shelter from the wind under the grassy hillside.

After barely settling down and filling my stomach half full, I finally had the energy to talk about the day's affairs.

"Who are those two people?"

Liu Chongming believed that they didn't know each other, and they couldn't figure out what the other party meant. Fortunately, one thing was certain, the other party did not have any malicious intentions.

Not only was there no malice, the young man named An Ning, when he talked to Shen Zhou, was so silly and warm, it didn't seem like he was pretending at all.

But Shen Zhou knew the past of these two lifetimes, he would never have the chance to contact such a weird person, let alone take care of him.

It's just that the phrase "renew the front line and continue to reason" made him very happy, and he wished he could ask someone carefully in the next moment.

"How could it be a human? You can't even see the hexagrams," Qu Chenzhou lay on his back, listening to the insects in the grass: "But since they said they would meet again, it's not too late to ask, but that Ding Lekang ..."

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed it anyway.

Liu Chongming was much calmer.

"As I said earlier, my people also folded one here."

"Jiu'an told me that this kind of yin tree was written in ancient books. Dead people were buried under the tree inappropriately, and it was born with wood spirits. It is very likely that it will eat people."

"Before I was dubious, and I didn't have time to tell you about it along the way. Today is a lot of experience."

"No..." Qu Chenzhou murmured: "Didn't the prince say that the murders related to Yinmu here are in the middle of these three places, so could it be that they are only concentrated in Chengsongling?"

This is also what Liu Chongming couldn't figure out.

"It's not concentrated in Chengsongling. Is it possible that there are really many monsters like this? Impossible, impossible."

But apart from such a hypothesis, he really couldn't think of any other possibility.

"Impossible." Qu Chenzhou affirmed his thoughts: "According to Jiu'an, this kind of yin tree should happen to appear at the right time, place and people. If there are a large number of such monsters, how can it be possible that the three sides of the state capital will be surrounded by monsters?" Didn't pay attention?"

No matter how you think about it, you are in a dead end.

"Shen Zhou, the 'transition' you mentioned, wouldn't it be that thing?"

"I don't know," Qu Chenzhou was distracted by the thought, a little annoyed: "If it is, can the prince show his might and drag it to me for a look?"

"Yes!" Liu Chongming patted his chest and promised.

"Get out." Qu Chenzhou turned over and said, "I'm going to sleep."

The grass behind him was crushed and made a rustling sound.

"Shen Zhou...are you cold?"

He closed his eyes and grabbed the hand on his waist with his backhand.

"Shen Zhou, I'm cold."

Qu Chenzhou closed his eyes, and ignored him again, that hand climbed up cautiously, tried several times, and finally firmly embraced him.

As if relieved, Liu Chongming sighed comfortably: "Warm."

The two of them sticking together were indeed warmer and more solid than he thought, so that even in the midst of the sky and the floor, he quickly sniffed the warmth from the tip of his nose, and his consciousness became hazy.

There was another throbbing pain in the leg, it was the place where it was pierced by the branches of Yinmu when Qu Shenzhou was thrown out.

The pain made him sleepless for a moment, and he wanted to sit up and have a look, but found that he couldn't move.

"Chongming!" Someone cried bitterly in his ear: "It's too late for you to regret it now! He's already dead! How can a person come back to life after death? It's too late for you to regret it now!"

He heard his own difficult voice: "I won't regret it...I want to see him, I want to see him again..."

"If you're dead, how can you see him? Wake up!"

He was confused by this question for a moment, but Jing Chen's crying and the pain in his arm woke him up again.

If not...

If he doesn't see him, Shen Zhou is so smart, he must be able to live the life he likes, and he doesn't have to be burdened by him all his life, so he can't get rid of it.

But he still wants to see him, even though Samsara Mountain and Sea are separated, he still wants to see him.

Seeing the vivid Shen Zhou, watching Shen Zhou twirling sycamore flowers, smiling in the sun.

"No more! Don't continue!"

Jing Chen stopped something, the thing had an intoxicating smell on its sharp thorns.

Camera penetrating bone nail.

He remembered that the past and present had finally formed a perfect connection - it was the camera penetrating bone nail.

We can finally see each other!

Liu Chongming suddenly burst out laughing—see you at last!

The pain in all limbs burst out, and he seemed to be choking his breath, and was about to struggle, when he was hit on the face suddenly.

"Don't make a sound."

When he opened his eyes, he saw Qu Chenzhou's hand covering his mouth.

"Our guess is not wrong, there are not many Yin trees, only one."

Qu Shenzhou pulled him back a little bit, whispering very softly.

"But...it will go."
