Rebirth on top

After Zhou Yang saw Chi Mo, he immediately petrified. How did he know that others would come in directly?

... shame.

Mr. Lu, who didn't feel anything wrong at all, didn't forget to give the figure who looked like a statue on the bed a hug when he got up.

In the living room, the dishes had already been placed on the table, and the arrangement obviously took a lot of thought. The soup and main course were in the middle, the side dishes were around the outside, and the last layer was small pastries.

Zhou Yang really wanted to help his forehead: The four of them... have they eaten so much... But if Lu Xie came by himself, he would definitely not be treated like this.Thinking of this, Zhou Yang felt so honored to be welcomed so warmly by others.

It was a lovely meal and I have to say that Chi Mo's cooking was delicious.Zhou Yang thought that he was good at cooking, but in comparison, he seemed weak again.

When they were full of wine and food, several people sat on the sofa and chatted. Mu Chen asked Lu Xie, "What's the arrangement for tomorrow?"

"It's Zhou Yang's first visit, so let's show him around."

"I think we can go to Hora first," Chi Mo said, "It's close to us, take Zhou Yang to the town to play, and you can also see the Bone Church. You can go to St. Vitus in the old city the day after tomorrow."

"It's not bad, I'll take you tomorrow..." Mu Chen originally wanted to say that I would take you there.Then Lu Xie coughed, and he immediately turned 180 degrees and said, "I have something to do with Chi Mo going out, you guys had a great time. Zhou Yang, Xiao Xie knows the way, just follow him."

"Okay, thank you." Zhou Yang smiled at him, and at the same time squatted in the corner of his heart and drew circles: Hey, hey, Shen Muchen, your tone has changed... I can hear it, okay?

But Zhou Yang pretended he didn't know anything, anyway, he didn't mean anything malicious, so why should he be so serious.Come out to play, relaxed and happy is the most important thing.Besides, it's not bad to follow Lu Xie, he's used to being alone with that guy.

The sun was up the next morning when they headed to the small town of Hora.The entire street is endowed with a lively look, the diffused sunlight coats everything with a light golden coat, and the scenery in the backlight is like a postcard, which makes people linger in admiration.

There were few people in the small town, Zhou Yang walked on the stone road, passing countless red roofs and very classical buildings.The street is actually not wide, but it makes people feel clean and open for no reason.

"I feel like I'm in a movie now." Zhou Yang said to the people around him, "I watch a lot of foreign movies so beautiful." He smiled and was in a very good mood.There are also trucks decorated with bread and cheese along the street, which is very funny.

"We have a lot of time, we can play and watch slowly." Lu Xie liked the energetic appearance of the other party very much.Always very easy to please, like a child.

They ate ice cream in the town, admired a lot of bright and interesting artwork, and a mole in a woolen hat.In the glass window, those things seem to be alive, full of curiosity and longing for the outside world.In a corner of the alley, someone painted colorful patterns on the window paper, and unknown red fruits seemed to jump out of the paper.

In the small shop, the roll bread exudes an attractive aroma.The outer ring of the bread was fried crispy, and the inner ring was as soft as a cake. With a ring of shredded coconut and white sugar on it, Zhou Yang would be bubbling happily after eating it.Sure enough, for "true foodies", only delicious food can't live up to it.

The Bone Church is very famous in the small town. Outside the yard is a cemetery, with wild flowers clinging tenaciously to the edge of the stone monument.It is engraved in a foreign language that I cannot understand.

"The church is really full of bones?" Zhou Yang felt that the name "Church of Human Bones" was sinister enough, and there were still these things outside... He subconsciously didn't want to see too many things related to death.

"The legend is that in the [-]th century, the local saints brought back by monks to Jerusalem were buried here. The subsequent Hussite wars also contributed a lot of accumulation."

As they talked, they walked into the place.

The human bones are stored in the basement. The basement is not big, but the tens of thousands of human bones are shocking.Everything inside is very individual, Zhou Yang walked forward and looked at it carefully.

The lamps made of skulls, the shields made of human bones, the altars made of bricks, and even the signatures are made of bones.The cold cellar, all this makes people worship.

Lu Xie whispered in his ear, "How do you feel?"

"...Unbelievable."

"There are many incredible things in this city, and I will show you one by one."

Zhou Yang nodded, but he felt a little cold, probably because of being in such an environment.

The back of Lu Xie's hand touched his own from time to time, with the temperature of the human body.He didn't try to avoid it either.

After a few times of touching like this, the two of them held each other's hand by coincidence.Fingers intersect.

The two who didn't go home until dark were asked by Chi Mo and Mu Chen about their experience in the game. Lu Xie was about to talk, but Mu Chen interrupted him with a wave of his hand, "It's not you I want to ask, how many times have you played? It was Zhou Yang who asked."

Lu Xie coughed, and sat down very calmly to drink water.

Seeing him being blocked and speechless, Zhou Yang thought it was funny, so he smiled and said to Mu Chen, "It's very beautiful, and I had a lot of fun. I don't care about the weather or the scenery here."

"Yes." Mu Chen put his head on Chi Mo's shoulder, "The old city is more lively, and the buildings here are very distinctive."

"Enen." Zhou Yang responded, and suddenly asked viciously, "Where did you and Chi Mo go to play? It seems that you came back early today? The dishes are all ready."

So "I originally wanted to take Lu Xie and Zhou Yang out, but after being ruthlessly stopped by someone, I just didn't bother to go out." Shen Muchen said with a smile, "I will take you there next time, it's very interesting."

The two looked at each other, laughed a little, and then continued to play dumb.

Lu Xie and Chi Mo didn't want to talk to these two idiots anymore.

Zhou Yang, who was tired from playing for too long today, decided to take a bath and sleep after being dragged upstairs by Lu Xie.I didn't feel it when I chatted with the two people downstairs just now, but now my head gets a lot heavier when I'm free.

Regardless of whether his hair was still wet, he lay on the bed and wanted to meet Duke Zhou.

When Lu Xie came out of the shower, he saw such a scene. Sitting next to Zhou Yang, he turned on the hair dryer to a suitable gear, and then slowly dried him.

"...I'll do it." Feeling sorry, someone who felt that he was too lazy struggled to turn over, but was held down.

"It'll be fine right away, just be obedient and don't move around."

Lu Xie's voice was a little fuzzy because of the hair dryer, but Zhou Yang could still hear it clearly.

The stroking of the other's fingers made people more drowsy.

Finally, peace returned to the room.

Lu Xie bent over and kissed the boy's black hair with the aroma of shampoo.

A good night's sleep.

I thought it would be sunny the next day, but I didn't expect it to rain lightly in the morning.

Looking out from the window of the house, the sky is already white, but the dark clouds are still low, walking on the skyline.Zhou Yang was still worried about whether such weather would affect his travel, but after he cleaned himself up, he saw that the sun had already risen, a rainbow hung in the distance, and the sky showed a faint blue color.

On a whim, he said to Lu Xie, "Let's take the train to the old city? Last time I saw a tram in the center of the city."

"Yes." Lu Xie has always been responsive to Zhou Yang.The two who reached an agreement set off towards the Old Town of Prague.

The old city is different from the small town, and there are a lot more tourists here.

The cobblestone road covered every corner of Prague. They walked along the Vltava River, and the old buildings retreated slowly beside them. The classic bookstore and the traditional post office really looked like they appeared on TV. .

The breakfast in the alley is very popular. Sausage, ham, bacon, and various nuts, hazelnuts and pine nuts soaked in milk are not perfect.Zhou Yang likes this kind of casual place, he hates restaurants with too much etiquette.

The sun streaked across the spire of the Old Town Square, and St. Vitus Cathedral was faintly visible in the light.

It wasn't until he stood in front of the church that Zhou Yang really felt how amazing this building was.In typical Gothic style, there are row upon row of exquisite and complex sculptures and spires, and the stained glass windows are like framed oil paintings, solemn and magnificent.

Walking into the church, the top of the arch has resplendent tones, thick curtains, and elegant icons, all the way silent on both sides.

This church has witnessed countless bloodbaths, smoke and gunfire, but it has always defied all sentient beings and remained invincible.

Zhou Yang approached it, as if he could hear heavy sighs and weeping past.

In awe in his heart, he unconsciously relaxed his breath, and even walked cautiously.

The chandelier stretches and burns brightly.But there is no end in sight, a mass of darkness always exists.

As if possessed by a demon, Zhou Yang walked forward.He walked all the way, and the darkness along the way was overcome by the light and subdued under his feet.

Zhou Yang felt that everything around him became silent.

In the endless corridor, he is the only one left.

He began to panic, like the moment of dying: there is light, but there is no end.

He walked faster and faster, trying to escape this predicament.

No other sounds could be heard in my ears, and my heart was beating like it was about to jump out of my chest.

At the end point on the side of the church, Zhou Yang stopped.

He opened his eyes wide and looked at the scene in front of him——

The icon bowed his head in prayer, full of compassionate gestures.

He opened his mouth but couldn't utter any syllables. Zhou Yang only felt that his chest was tightly blocked by sand, but even more terrifying critical emotions were about to burst out.

He clenched his fingers, his thoughts seemed to stop, and his head seemed to explode.Like standing on the edge of an abyss, unable to restrain the inertia of falling——

Suddenly, a hand grabbed him firmly.

In the next second, a familiar breath and warmth enveloped him.

"What's wrong?" Lu Xie's voice entered the eardrum, "Zhou Yang?"

The name was like a spell to call back the soul, Zhou Yang trembled all over, and his dilated pupils began to focus again.He was held in Lu Xie's arms at the moment, unable to move.

"Do you know what you were doing just now?" Lu Xie let go of him, and reached out to touch his face again.Their eyes met, "It's as if they couldn't hear me, and they walked very fast. It's abnormal." That state was a bit scary, as if the body was controlled by an invisible thing, like a walking dead.

But Lu Xie didn't say anything.

"..." I don't know what's wrong.Zhou Yang was still in a daze, and he couldn't answer for a while.

"...Let's get out of here." Lu Xie took his hand, "Let's go somewhere else."

St. Vitus Church is dark, and when people walk out of it, they will reflexively reach out to block the sunlight.

Zhou Yang let Lu Xie lead him, his expression was not very good-looking.

"Are you uncomfortable? Do you want to go back first?" Lu Xie also noticed his pale face.

"...It's okay." After uttering these words, Zhou Yang felt that the oppressive force seemed to have disappeared a lot. He took a deep breath and said, "It's okay, let's go on."

A crowded place made Zhou Yang feel better, and they walked like walking in the Golden Lane.

After a long time, the blood in his body flowed back and his thoughts stopped clamoring, so Zhou Yang really sighed.

"What happened before?" Lu Xie asked, "Can you tell me?"

"...I feel like I'm seeing an illusion, and everyone around me is gone. Even you, I can't find it."

Lu Xie tightened his clasped hands, lowered his head and kissed Zhou Yang's side face, "Don't worry, I'm always here. Even if it's an illusion, I can bring you back."

...It is indeed...Thanks to Lu Xie for helping him, what happened in the church is really strange.

In front of the pavement full of souvenirs and handicrafts, Zhou Yang tried his best to appreciate it, and he planned to use the excitement around him to distract his attention.At this time, a crutch touched his leg, and with a "boom", he fell to the side of the road.

Zhou Yang bent down to pick it up and handed it to an old man beside him.It was a white-haired foreign man with wrinkled skin and a long beard, but his eyes were very lively.

The old man said a few words to Zhou Yang, and Zhou Yang stood there awkwardly.He turned to Lu Xie, "What did this man say?"

Lu Xie smiled and said, "The old man said thank you very much for helping him pick up his crutches."

"……You're welcome."

After talking to the old man again in English, Lu Xie took Zhou Yang to leave.Unexpectedly, the old man wanted to keep them.

Listening to the two people beeping and talking for a long time.Zhou Yang said, "What are you talking about..."

"That's right." Lu Xie pointed to something similar to a plate placed in front of the old man, and explained, "He is from a small town near Prague. He comes here to work every day, just to divination for others. He said he wants to repay you Because of your kindness, I am willing to give you fortune-telling for free, which is what we often call fortune-telling."

"This..." Zhou Yang frowned.

"He said he was very accurate in divination." Lu Xie added.

Zhou Yang didn't want to tell fortunes at first, but to live a new life, he was a bit shy about such strange things.But for some reason, he remembered what happened in the church before. He nodded and said, "Okay, give it a try."

After telling the other party the detailed information he needed, Zhou Yang saw the man fiddle with the plate in front of him in a serious manner.

"This is the astrolabe." Lu Xie said, "They like to use this."

Make it so mysterious... Zhou Yang stared at the astrolabe dubiously, as if he wanted to study it carefully.

The white-haired old man looked up and said something to Lu Xie.Lu Xie nodded, and started a new round of communication.

Zhou Yang couldn't understand, so he could only watch their expressions and lip shapes boredly.

Lu Xie always had a smile on his face, and after listening to the other party, he would respond with a sentence or two.Generally speaking, the elderly speak more.

But after hearing it, Zhou Yang found that Lu Xie's smile gradually faded a lot.Finally fell silent.

After saying goodbye, Zhou Yang saw that the other party didn't intend to say anything to him, so he could only ask, "What did that person say about me?"

"Very good, saying that when you are young, you can get many things that others can't reach. There will be honor and fame."

"...Is that so." Zhou Yang was thoughtful, the situation in his previous life seemed to be similar? Became famous at the age of 21, but after that?He grabbed Lu Xie, "That's all?"

Lu Xie turned to look at him, hesitant to speak.After a pause, he said, "...that's all."

...You two chattered for a long time, but you only said two or three sentences?Sure enough, English is troublesome...

Divination was like a brief interlude, and the two quickly shifted their focus.

After walking the Golden Lane, they crossed the Charles Bridge and saw the Powder Tower in the sun, and the opera posters were spray-painted on the red trams.

Wandering artists from all over the world are showing their strengths, and the brisk songs played by violins have attracted many people's onlookers.

When the sky is full of rays of light and the sunset begins to cover the city.Zhou Yang and Lu Xie saw the Prague Astrological Clock, a medieval astronomical clock installed in the Old Town Square City Hall.

Every hour, the astronomical clock will automatically tell the time, and the twelve disciples of Jesus will appear in sequence.

Many people stood below waiting for the hour to arrive.

At the top of the bell tower, people can also stand there and overlook the beautiful scenery of the entire old city.

The two took the elevator and slowly rose from the bottom of the building to the sky.

Through the glass, you can see the circle of stairs outside, and when you look up, there is a dazzling glare, as magnificent as the sun, moon and stars.

The surroundings are dark, as if entering a space-time tunnel.

The dim light that swept over him made Zhou Yang want to sigh: Why do you always encounter such an environment?

He looked at the person opposite, and the face of that person was made extremely beautiful by the flickering light.

"Lu Xie," Zhou Yang said, "I don't like such a dark place, can you find something to talk about?"

Lu Xie was silent for a long time, Zhou Yang thought that this person had gone to enjoy the scenery outside the elevator.

However, the next moment, Lu Xie spoke, "You asked me what else the old man said. I didn't tell you."

Zhou Yang was stunned for a few seconds, and said "oh", "I don't think it's possible to only have those two or three sentences."

"Yes, I concealed a few words because I don't believe it."

The elevator continued to go up to the high place, and the area covered by the strong light was getting bigger and bigger.

Zhou Yang asked, "What did he say?"

"He said..." In the darkness, Lu Xie's voice was very slow, "You shouldn't exist. He also said that your soul will disappear at the end. But he didn't tell me where the end is, so I don't know .”

Zhou Yang's mind was shaken, as if someone had hit him hard with a stick.

His head was buzzing, and he almost couldn't stand still.

Why?What's the meaning?Will I still die?You will still die... No matter how you change or subvert your life, you cannot escape death.

Destined... Fate?

The pain before death came like a tide, and the memories he didn't want to mention made him tremble with fear.

The movement of the ancient astronomical clock "click click", it is almost the hour.There were already slight cheers from the crowd outside the building.

His body was cold, Zhou Yang leaned against the glass of the elevator, unable to say a word.

He suddenly had a deep fear of this place and was on the verge of collapse.

"Don't take such words seriously." Lu Xie took a step and appeared in front of Zhou Yang. They were so close together that they could see each other's face and all expressions.

"Why are you so scared?" Lu Xie comforted with his fingers running through the other person's hair, "It's all fake."

Zhou Yang didn't speak, and there was still lingering horror in his eyes.

The two stood silently. In such an illusionary light and shadow channel, only breathing was real.

"...If you really care," Lu Xie asked him to look up at himself, "then Zhou Yang, I'll help you."

The noise outside the clock tower was even louder, and the light overhead was already within reach.

Lu Xie said, "The astronomical clock is eternal, let it retain half of your soul. In this way, no matter what happens, half of your soul will always exist. If we want, we can come back to get it back at any time."

The countdown to the hour began, and the people in the square were boiling.

Zhou Yang looked at Lu Xie, he looked very seriously, wanted to say something, but couldn't speak.His eyes were so bright in the dark that people mistakenly thought they were tears. "What am I going to do?" he asked.

"No need to do anything," Lu Xie lowered his head, "Just kiss me."

The window on the astronomical clock was opened, and the wooden sculptures of the twelve disciples of Jesus turned from the window one by one. The crowd cheered and the atmosphere was warm.On the top floor of the bell tower, Death began to ring the bell.

They kiss desperately at the end of the elevator, at the limit of light.

It's like a ceremony, but also like a kind of succession.

Lu Xie, Zhou Yang said in his heart: I want to live.

The too direct light made his eyes sting, he slowly closed his eyes, and wholeheartedly felt what the person in front of him gave him.

That night, Zhou Yang drank a lot of wine. He knew that he was poor at drinking, but he couldn't control it.For once, he tried to keep himself from being too sober.

He also couldn't remember how he got home. In a daze, only the smell of tobacco was deeply remembered.

In the room, Zhou Yang was put on the bed, and the moonlight fell on his face.

Then a body covered her, and her lips felt warm.

The author has something to say: the next chapter is high-energy, if you get caught, everyone will understand =v=
