Si Tian Guan

Liu Chongming's heart skipped a beat.

At the end of the long night, the twilight of the morning light illuminated the tall branches, and through the gaps in the weeds on the hillside, he saw the clusters of light yellow mushrooms.

The light red spot on the tip of the mushroom has faded, and the blood swallowed yesterday has completely become a part of the tree. The burned signaling tube is crooked in the tree hole, and the branches on the top of the tree are scorched black.

If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes yesterday, you might have thought it was just an ordinary tree in the forest.

When the two retreated quietly, the canopy of the tree swayed, as if it was blown by the mountain wind. With the swing of the canopy, a thick root, like a snake, slowly moved across the ground and moved forward. half a foot.

Like a sluggish person taking a walk.

Liu Chongming saw a thin layer of goose bumps on Qu Shenzhou's neck.

It was one thing to hear about Yinmu before, but quite another to see it with one's own eyes.

Ding Lekang's death was unexpected and silent yesterday, which was enough to be horrifying, and the two of them were quite overwhelmed to be able to sleep.

Who would have thought that within a few hours, this ghostly thing would appear in front of him again, only a few feet away.

There is absolutely no mistake, Ding Lekang's belt is still hanging on the branch.

If Shen Zhou hadn't woken up in time, and waited for that thing to get closer, they would be the turtles in the urn.

Enduring the chill that rushed to the top of his head, he squeezed the sword in his hand tightly.

"Shen Zhou, I don't know if I should say something or not."

you shut up! "Qu Shenzhou didn't turn his head, and his voice trembled rarely: "It's not right to say it. "

"It seems to me that it's after us both."

"Can you stop..."

Qu Shenzhou's words stopped abruptly—their backs hit something

You don't need to look back, just touch the net with intertwined branches to know what is blocking it.

Their attention was all attracted by the slow-moving tree, and they never thought that this thing could still weave a web!

"Hold!"

Liu Chongming cursed loudly, turned his hand backwards and swung his sword, several branches snapped off.

But I don't know if it's because of yesterday's loss, this net is tough and dense, this sword only opened a hole, and it can't allow anyone to pass through.

Even the broken branches are like tentacles, about to wrap around his blade.

"Can't break through, Qu Shenzhou pulled him back, pointed upwards: climb up.

They hid in the shelter under the hillside before, and those tree roots and shade trees were also growing underneath. There is always a glimmer of hope for escape on the hillside.

Liu Chongming chopped off the roots protruding from the ground with a few swords, quickly squatted down, pressed Qu Shenzhou on his shoulder, and stood up.

"on!"

The situation was urgent, and it was not the time to be modest, so Qu Chenzhou stretched out his hand, jumped up the hillside, immediately prostrated himself on the ground, and stretched out his hand.

"Come up!"

Seeing Liu Chongming cut off the shackles on his legs and jumped towards him, their hands were about to clasp, but they suddenly opened the distance.

Something wrapped around his foot, dragging him back a few feet.

"Grass!" He couldn't help cursing.

No wonder so many people have been devoured by Yinmu, not only the state government has no way to start, but it is only a rumor in the market.

This ghost thing has really become a spirit, timid and cowardly, not only knows how to avoid the crowd and attack those who are alone, but even knows how to lurk and trap.

He couldn't see what was going on under the hillside, so he could only forcefully insert the dagger into the soil, and desperately retracted his foot, trying to tear off the vine-like branch.

But that thing was soft and flexible, like a spider waiting for its prey, it entangled itself patiently, and after a few struggles, the other foot was also entangled.

The hand holding the hilt of the sword was clenched white.

Qu Chenzhou thought of many ways to die, but he never thought of turning into a tree's fertilizer in the barren mountains and ridges like this, silently.

The branches are like the withered hands of a dying old man, twisting and twisting on the back, and they have climbed up to the shoulders, and the breathing is gradually tightened and squeezed into a narrow one.

"Chongming! Liu Chongming!" He roared hysterically: "Run! Run!"

He saw Liu Chongming's back, and ran towards the shade tree with a little light in his trance vision.

"You're fucking crazy! Run!"

A twig stood up like a snake's head, plopped through his forearm, cut off his shriek, followed by a pain in his calf.

He put his head against the ground, clenched his dagger desperately, and took another step forward in vain, trying to break free from the shackles covering his whole body, but the dagger was pushed out suddenly as he saw it slowly moving on the soft ground. .

The sky and the earth turned upside down in an instant, and the whole person was dragged backward with the sword, another branch pierced through the skin, and the visible sky light gradually narrowed.

Qu Chenzhou burst into tears suddenly, roaring with all his strength.

"Run away! I don't hate you! I don't hate you!"

He regretted it, if he knew it, if he knew they didn't have more time, he should have responded to that hug, he should have told Chongming that I never hated you.

"Chongming, don't save me again! Run!"

It was not clear whether he was struggling too hard, or where the dagger he swung wildly cut. First, the branch wrapped around his leg slackened, and then the part that pierced into the flesh stopped stirring, as if a small flame sprang up.

Qu Chenzhou couldn't care less about crying, and pulled off all the restraints on his body with pain, only to see clearly the fireball that ignited a few feet away.

The flames that shot straight into the sky crackled the tree, and it was as if someone could hear crying, and even the surrounding air was distorted.

In the firelight, there was a figure squatting inside, as if he was entangled and unable to get out.

"Chongming! Chongming!"

He jumped up, didn't even bother to pull out the thing that pierced his body, and ran over in a stumbling manner.

Now is not the occasion to cry, but the teardrops fell down disobediently.

Before he reached his eyes, it was already scorching hot, unable to move forward, without thinking, he took off his outer shirt and put it on his head.

As soon as this step was taken, someone suddenly jumped up, pounced on his face and stretched out his hand to push him out of the heat wave. He also rolled on the ground a few times, and with another wave of his hand, he threw the burning robe aside.

Liu Chongming's entire face was dyed as black as the bottom of a pot, his hair and eyebrows were scorched, he wiped his face with his sleeve carelessly, and at the same time hugged Qu Chenzhou by the waist.

"Up!"

The roots of the tree stretched for an unknown distance, and when they burned one by one, the hillside seemed to be on fire, and even the soil was faintly red.

Liu Chongming had already suffered a wound on his leg before, and now his whole body was covered in blood. This exhaustion almost exhausted his physical strength, dragged him along, stumbled and ran for a long distance, and then fell to the ground.

When the fire meets dry wood in the distance, from them, you can still see the sky over there being burned red

He was panting so badly that he managed to swallow a few mouthfuls of saliva before stretching out his tightly clenched hands, as if offering a treasure.

"Shen Zhou, guess..."

The front of his clothes was pulled up, and a familiar slap was slapped on his face, before he could cover his face, another slap from the other side.

"Liu Chongming! If you've lived enough!" Qu Chenzhou was short of breath, tears rolled down uncontrollably, interrupted several times by a choked sob in his throat, "Go to hell now! Don't be an eyesore in front of you!

Liu Chongming raised his head in a daze, and reached out to wipe his cheek: "Don't cry."

With this swipe, a few streaks of black ash were added to Qu Chenzhou's face. The teardrops rolled down and rushed the black out of the tear groove again, making him look even more embarrassed.

He finally couldn't help laughing, and before he got angry, he stuffed the thing in his hand into his bosom, tore the cloth strip from his hem, and sat Qu Chenzhou on the ground.

"Don't cry, am I fine now?" He touched the soft hair on the top of his head: "Don't move, I'll help you treat the wound first."

The touch of Xu Shi's face brought people back to reality, Qu Chenzhou pressed his clenched fist to his heart, and finally calmed down his panting.

The withering and flourishing of the yin tree followed the root, seeing that the main root had turned into charcoal, and the trunk running through his wound also shrank, and it was barely bearable when it was pulled out.

It wasn't until the last wound on his body was tied tightly that the person behind him turned to sit in front of him.

Most of the light in front of him was blocked, he didn't want people to see his current appearance, so he rested his chin on his knees and lowered his head slightly.

"Liu Chongming, why don't you run away!" Words were squeezed out between the teeth: "I told you long ago, I don't care if I live or die!

Liu Chongming poked his head from below, facing him face to face, looking at his red eyes.

"Shen Zhou, guess I know..."

He turned away.

Liu Chongming followed his gaze and squatted in front of him: "Guess what I know?"

He turned his face the other way.

This time Liu Chongming simply held his chin, turned his face around, leaned forward, and happily spoke a few words in his ear.

"Centreme bone penetrating nail."

Qu Shenzhou jumped up and sat down on the ground again, his face ashen.

Liu Chongming squatted face to face with him, looked at each other for a moment, and suddenly burst out laughing, laughing uncontrollably, as if wishing he could roll on the ground, his curly hair trembling with his shoulders, it was amazing to see Qu Shenzhou was dumbfounded.

"Liu Chongming! You are crazy!"

"No, no, I'm not crazy!" Liu Chongming grabbed his hand, taking the opportunity to act presumptuously: "Shen Zhou, you don't know how happy I am now, you hit me twice, am I dreaming!"

Qu Chenzhou raised his hand, but he still didn't let it fall, and was grabbed and covered his face.

"Shen Zhou, you already knew that, right?"

Liu Chongming turned his face sideways and rubbed his lips against his palm: "I'm really happy."

"You said repeatedly that you don't want me to care about your life and death, you said you are not worth my suicide, you said you want me to live well, you already knew that. Do you love me?"

Qu Chenzhou bit his lip, and suddenly turned his head away: "I feel worthless for myself. What kind of nail piercing the bones is all because of your own affection. I don't want to live again, and suffer so much again for nothing."

Liu Chongming lowered his head and stroked his fingers one by one.

"I know, I've always been the one who's sorry for you, but if I had to choose again, I'd still ask for a penetrating bone nail."

"You!" Qu Chenzhou suddenly wanted to withdraw his hand: "You..."

"I know what it's like not to have you." Liu Chongming held on tightly and refused to let go: "Shen Zhou, I'm selfish, I miss you."

"You said that you want me to live well, and I am willing to listen to you."

"But if one day you're gone, I'll ask for another chance for you to be reborn. Even if your soul is gone and you don't enter reincarnation, I still want you to live."

"You are so smart, even without me, you can find a good way out and be free.

"Next time, you have to take care of yourself, don't worry too much about me and the Liu family's affairs, and don't be depressed, want to die, and be humiliated by others."

"There are many beautiful mountains and rivers in this world, you should go and see them all, I don't deserve you to stay.

Qu Chenzhou turned his face away and took a few deep breaths.

"I... I'm not for you..."

"I'm for you." Liu Chongming hugged his shoulders: "Shen Zhou, I'm willing to go through fire and water for you, and never regret it." "

Qu Chenzhou gritted his teeth: "I don't want to..."

Something was pasted between his brows, interrupting what he said later.

"The barren mountains and wild mountains are not a place to flirt. Let's find a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters later, so that we can be gentle."

Qu Chenzhou's face turned red, and he grabbed the thing: "Who is flirting with you! What is this?"

Lying in the palm of his hand was a piece of emerald-like object, slightly larger than his previous jade pendant, when it changed direction, it refracted the morning sun into a dazzling light.

"I got it from the tree, and Liu Chongming fiddled with his hand: "Tell me, is this what you said before, a turning point? "
