I Am Your Father

The sound was the tiny ripples when frost flowers on the top of the cave accidentally fell into the water.

Only then did he suddenly realize something, Li Zhi strode forward suddenly, just when he leaned over and really touched his wet hands, suddenly there were several crisp sounds of flint and fire scythe colliding, Jin, who had already been familiar with this place, Li just lit an oil lamp in the corner of the cave.

So in an instant, the bright water prison hidden in this cave was instantly reflected in Li Zhi's narrowed eyes.

It was a water prison.

Through the criss-crossed ceiling, Li Zhi saw the mottled cloud robe imprisoned by heavy chains under the gap. The original spotless frost and white had long since disappeared, especially the man seemed to have been frozen by the cold from all directions. Go, can't see life and death.

"Open."

But it was only a moment of stagnation, Li Zhi raised his eyes and spoke briefly, Jin Li couldn't help being taken aback by the ruthless prey that covered the corners of his eyes.

"You want to go down?" Jin Li asked.

"Ah," Li Zhi looked at him coldly, "If I don't go down, you want to come over for Yan Jinghe's mind?"

"..."

Apparently he also knew about Xiao Luohe, including the one-month deadline that Yan Jinghe promised Li Zhi not long ago. Jin Li and Li Zhi looked at each other for a while, then stopped asking any more questions, and simply pointed the bumpy palm to his side. It was sent to the cave wall, and it landed accurately in a hidden mechanism in the cracks between the wall and the stone.

Hearing several dull turning sounds one after another, the heavy prison roof under Li Zhi's feet slowly opened to both sides.

The line of sight suddenly widened, but it's a pity that even though there was such a big commotion, the person below still didn't move a single bit.Without any further hesitation, under Jin Li's slightly scrutinizing gaze, Li Zhi leaped into the pool calmly as the water splashed in all directions and the chill was piercing to the bone.

Jin Li immediately squatted on the edge of the water prison, staring at the bottom of the prison, as if trying to get some clues from the two people who were separated for a long time and finally reunited.

But after waiting, the water in the pool tended to be calm, but Li Zhi was still not seen surfacing.

And just as Jin Li's expression became more solemn, the cold pool water suddenly splashed all over his body, and Li Zhi finally appeared.

"Think you can hide by pretending to be dead?"

Rude raised Si Jie's drooping forehead, and spat harshly, "Yan Jinghe's hands are still a little softer, I see you are fine, your hands and feet are still there."

"..."

Jin Li's expression was complicated when he heard the words. The horror of the water prison is far more than that of severed limbs. Of course, he has seen the scene of Yan Jinghe's forced questioning of his mind more than once. This experience is worse than death.

"Forget it, keep pretending if you have the ability."

And following Li Zhi's cold snort, the next moment, the iron chains collided suddenly, Jin Li looked in surprise, Si Jie was suddenly dragged into the bottom of the water by Li Zhi.

Standing up "Teng", Jin Li could only see two blurred figures, one deep and one shallow under the dark water, as if they were in a fierce confrontation.

"Li Zhi!"

He knew that Li Zhi's water skills had always been good, and under Yan Jinghe's countless times of questioning, he had already seen Si Jie's only weakness—imperviousness to water, and now it seemed that it was not the time to take his life.

So subconsciously convinced of Li Zhi's resentment, Jin Li frowned, hesitating whether to go down to stop him.

But what he couldn't see was that while Li Zhi forcibly pressed down the person who finally returned to the cage with a little consciousness after entering the water, his lips that had trembled for a long time covered his lips.

——Don't be afraid, your daughter-in-law and I are very good at swimming.

--------------------

Ah, I still haven't caught up with the promised weekend before 12 o'clock (д) and keep updating my hot hand speed!

125. Fate ([-])

The long-lost wind broke through the dark swamp in an instant, the river flew against the tide, and the raging tide smashed the rocks. What clanged from the bottom of my heart were all the deep-rooted longings that had been separated for a long time.

In fact, the time is not too long. If you put it in the past, the days of being poor and haha ​​with Li Goudan are difficult, but you can get over it quickly if you grit your teeth.Unexpectedly, the situation changed suddenly, and the desolation suddenly appeared. During the nearly seven months of searching and searching, Li Zhi struggled and trembled, stacking the lost and regained memories, as if another seven years had passed.

And this time when they meet again, he will never mistake him again.

With one hand, he tightly hugged the opponent's cold body, which had never been so embarrassing and embarrassing, and held the other hand tightly on his waist, for fear that the things in the bag would be washed away by the water.

It was the wooden dummy that Si Jie stuffed into his palm at the end before jumping off the Hu'e River.

The word "Li Zhi" scrawled on the back was carved by Li Zhi himself when he was young, and he can recognize it at a glance no matter how long it has passed, let alone after so many years, Si Jie has kept everything as it was before.

——I don’t bring any good things with me now. I just made this one with my own hands. It has my name engraved on it. You take it first. If you meet again in the future, I will give you another big gift!

More than ten years ago, the sincerity of the young man's flamboyance was as clear as yesterday. No matter how unbelievable it was, Li Zhi never dreamed that the things he casually gave the little mute would really appear in front of him again.Just when the heavy snow that day condensed him together with the scars all over the ground, and he was so defeated that he thought that there would be no light in his life, the wooden man forced his way through his disintegrated nerves, and brought a haze of light into his dream.

Indeed, it is a "dream" that allows Si Jie to walk forward for many years, invincible, and constructed only for him.

Everything after staying in Mang Valley starts from this "dream".

Perhaps this "dream" can also be called Xiaoluo River.

Everyone in the rivers and lakes has heard that Xiaoluohe town is heaven and earth, transforming everything without a single drop of blood, trapping people in the heart of the square inch world without knowing it, it can be said to be vast and mysterious, unrivaled.However, from the beginning to the end, no one has really seen what Xiaoluohe is. All the people who refused to accept the past and provoked were all defeated by Sijie's Ziwei's seven cuts. The unknown power that can never see the peak is even more revered and feared.

And if you analyze it carefully, it is not difficult to understand that Hetu Luoshu dominates the creation and changes of the universe, and a small Luohe is actually... a world.

Every plant, every tree, every flower and every person there are arranged by Si Jie. It can be a terrifying hell with swords and swords, or it can be a fairyland of Taoyuan to bid farewell to the smoky world, or any other place you can think of.

It's just that if it is imposed on people, once it doesn't conform to the world it knows, it is tantamount to destroying people from the inside out. A body that is willing to be manipulated.

Although Fumen's forbidden technique, Floating Dream, which breaks at the sight of blood, has similarities in the same way and the same effect, it also creates illusions, but it needs to rely on the deepest desires in the heart to achieve it. Compared with Xiaoluohe, it really pales in comparison.

However, even if it is such a peerless skill that can turn the world upside down, Si Jie has never shown it to anyone since he completed his self-study.

It's because he has spent more than ten years, overcoming many obstacles, and building the world with his own hands, he has always only wanted to show it to one person.

——Master Si, your little Luohe, why have you never seen you use it before?

——Hetu Luoshu is very powerful, I only study it for one person, and the time has not come yet.

—Who is so unlucky?

——…

During the confrontation with several big masters in Guitou Village, Li Zhi asked curiously, but he didn't know that the "unlucky" person Si Jie said was himself.

The moment Si Jie handed over the wooden man in the palm of his hand, the cold snow and wind, the strange but familiar breath overturned, tightly enveloping Li Zhi, whose consciousness was almost torn apart, and at the same time, came It was a wildly regressing flow of clouds, leading him at a loss as he galloped backwards. Scenes of life fragments that did not belong to him squeezed in front of him from all directions uncontrollably, penetrated the bone marrow, and blended with him wonderfully.

Until the turbulent thoughts finally stopped, the water was far away, and Li Zhi had already forgotten who he was.

In the "dream", he was just a nine-year-old disciple who hadn't eaten for two days and was punished by his elder brother to kneel at the Tianxu Qianqiu Altar for making a mistake.

"Xiao Si Jie, do you know what's wrong?" He was dizzy from hunger, his stomach was twitching and he wanted to retch, and his knees were numb, he heard an unkind question.

Si Jie?

Are you talking about him?

Li Zhi wanted to nod subconsciously, but he didn't remember what mistake he made, he just thought that if he admitted his mistake, he would be eaten?

But he tried to open his mouth, but his mouth didn't seem to belong to him, it was closed tightly no matter what, his small frosty back straightened even more, and he didn't say a word for a long time.

"Bastard! If you hadn't been naughty and fell into the water back then, Uncle Wen He would not have gone to save you. Now you dare to be rude to Junior Brother Wen Fei, and you have forgotten the principles you have been taught!" "You continue to reflect on me!"

After speaking, the other party stepped up the steps and left extremely angrily.

Oops... I will continue to starve.

Sighing in his heart, Li Zhi slowly recalled the argument he had with senior brother Wen Fei two days ago. It was clear that senior brother Wen Fei attacked him first while he was doing his morning exercise, and he twisted his arm with his backhand, but the senior brother just punished him regardless of the reason. Him alone?

He has to talk to his elder brother to reason again, and he can be punished by kneeling, at least he has to be given some food, otherwise how can he have the strength to be punished?

Thinking of this, Li Zhi desperately wanted to stand up from the ground.

Unexpectedly, his body didn't seem to listen to him, he endured the sharp pain between his knees and twisted left and right, still motionless.

After a long while, he finally felt lighter, but it was too late for him to be happy, he just heard a "plop", and fell to the ground and fainted.

126. Fate ([-])

For a while, Li Zhi still seemed to be in a trance, but his vision was pitch black, and he couldn't move at all. Time seemed to stand still, and he could only hear the rustling wind coming from all around him, making the entire Qianqiu Altar even more blurry. .

He just lay down on the cold white jade altar, which was spotless, illuminated by the bright moon like a mirror, curled up with him unconsciously.
