[Red Mansion] The First Immortal of the Three Realms

Nie Zheng has been in this Lujia Village for more than ten days, and he is very familiar with every place in the village.He knew that there were a total of one hundred and five households here. Although the population was large, he hadn't seen many living people, and he had collected a lot of dead souls.

Some houses are riddled with holes.The most respectable one is the doorless God Temple at the entrance of the village. It is said to be a God Temple, and its appearance is already dilapidated, but compared to other houses around it, it looks exceptionally complete.

There is also a thick layer of silk on the wall of the temple.At the entrance, there is a clean wooden barrel.The wooden barrel was brand new and exquisitely crafted, with no gaps to be seen.

There was half a bucket of water in the bucket, and I don't know how long it had been left there, and a layer of dust had already formed on it.Turning his head again, Nie Zheng saw the incense table on one side and a thick layer of solidified wax on the incense table.

Nie Zheng took a closer look at the devices in the room, and made a judgment in his heart.

There is not a statue in this temple, not even a god, but a red cloth is used to cover the wall, as if to hide the things under the red cloth.

Nie Zheng raised his hand, holding the corner of the red cloth, hesitating several times in his heart whether to open the red cloth.

He is not a person with strong curiosity, but now, those strange souls are scattered, he is trying to find out the truth, in order to find some clues that can help the fairy before the fairy arrives.

But at the moment when his hand was about to touch the red cloth, he paused slightly, and remembered Fairy Jiangzhu's past exhortations.

As soon as he entered Lujia Village, he knew where it used to be.

The former Huayue Tower, the former Wanxiang Pavilion, and the battle with Yasha, he can clearly remember them all.

It's just that when I look at it now, I didn't expect that in just a few years, there will be such variables in the mortal world.Now things have changed.

It's just that at this time, it's not suitable for nostalgia. What he cares more about is the words of Fairy Jiangzhu after the battle with Yasha.

At that time, he believed that Ning Caichen was a traitor, and he wished to kill him soon.But in the end it caused a reversal, and it turned out that Ning Caichen was only traced by monsters at a certain time, and because of the time and space cycle, he saw another scene in advance.

As everyone knows, it was precisely because of those actions that the original deliberate avoidance became guidance.

Everyone in the world pursues cause and effect, but how do you know that sometimes, cause and effect do not necessarily exist.

At that time, he always wanted to ask the fairy whether someone would deliberately use certain factors when they knew the "effect" to go to another period of time and deliberately create another "cause".

At this moment, he was thinking about the same thing.

After some struggle, Nie Zheng withdrew his hand again.

It's not that he didn't dare to open the red cloth, but now he hesitated a little more.I am afraid that if I open the red cloth rashly, another "cause" will be born at a certain time, which will change the original "effect".

Nie Zheng withdrew his hand, turned and left.When he left the room, he deliberately looked back again.

It is strange to say that this place has been dry for a long time, and even the ground is so dry and cracked, how can there be a bucket of water here.

After leaving the house, Nie Zheng went to the entrance of the village, where there was an astonishing tree pit.

Looking at the size of the tree pit, one can imagine how amazing the trees originally planted here are.Presumably this thing was uprooted, leaving a hole the size of a room.I am not afraid that someone will fall into it when walking at night.

Nie Zheng walked all the way to the center.There was also a big tree planted there originally, but for unknown reasons, that tree was cut down in the middle, leaving only a stump.

There are cumbersome lines on the tree stump, which are different from the usual annual rings.This annual ring is too tortuous, distorted and misplaced several times, scattered and then overlapped again.

Nie Zheng frowned and looked at it a few times, trying to find out the regularity of the distribution of annual rings, but after looking for a long time, he still didn't have the slightest clue.

That thing doesn't look like a normal spawn at all.

The surrounding area was extremely quiet, although there were no trees, the sound of the wind blowing the leaves could be heard clearly in my ears.

Nie Zheng took advantage of the situation and raised the epee in his hand, and the epee was branded with the exclusive marks of ghost messengers from the underworld.

As night fell, the trace shone with a special light in the night.

The blade of the sword glowed with a dazzling cold light under the cold moon.

With murderous intent.

Nie Zheng has already made full preparations, if someone comes over at this time, he will not let it go easily.

But he knew very well that he had stayed in this ghostly place for so long, not to mention who it was, and he hadn't even seen a bird for a long time.

The sound of the wind became intermittent, but there was noise in my ears again, as if many people gathered together to discuss in a low voice.

Nie Zheng's hearing was excellent, and he quickly found his way after distinguishing the sounds carefully.

The epee in his hand slid across the ground, and the sharp tip of the sword left marks on the ground.He is not good at Danqing, so he can only leave marks in this clumsy way.

The heavy sword became extremely flexible in his hands.Draw circles on the ground.

Nie Zheng quickly figured out the person's location.

Near the stump, there should be a man.The man should be young, his breathing is not stable, and he would say a few words occasionally, but the voice was too thin and could not be heard clearly.

On the right front side of the tree stump, Nie Zheng drew a circle there with the tip of his sword.

There should be an old man there, whispering incomprehensible words while walking.

But the aura that came out was not like that of an ordinary old man.

Nie Zheng repeated the identification several times, but he was still unable to make an accurate judgment.The old man seemed to have a layer of barriers on his body, although it exposed her, it was still hard to figure out.

The identity of this person is definitely not ordinary.

The outermost circle was marked by neat rows of traces drawn by the epee.

He couldn't make an accurate judgment and could only trust his instincts.

According to the sound, there should be hundreds of people there.But the entire population of this village is not so large.

He thought it was the afterimage left by those dead souls.But he held his breath to feel the breath, and the exuberant vitality made him withdraw this thought.

It's just that I don't know if so many people gathered here are worshiping or performing rituals.

Nie Zheng's eyes flickered, and he threw the epee in his hand, and stuck it in the outermost part of the forest.

It was behind a dead tree.Nie Zheng heard a crying voice there.The voice should be that of a young girl.

It's just that he was trying to judge more, but he couldn't find any trace.

The wind finally stopped.

From the night to the deepest, the lone moon in the sky looks too desolate.Nie Zheng took a hasty look, then returned to the God Temple with the red cloth hanging in his arms holding the epee.

As soon as he was engrossed in contemplating Nie Zheng, he felt something was wrong.

The bucket of water dried up for some reason, leaving only an empty bucket.Nie Zheng tentatively picked up the bucket and carefully checked where there was a leak.

But he was disappointed.

That barrel is new.

The inside of the barrel was already dry, without leaving any traces, but the bottom of the barrel was moist, as if the water in the barrel had seeped in.

Nie Zheng raised his hand and touched it, it was slippery.Like stones that have been placed by the river for many years, after years of baptism, moss has grown.

On one side of the red cloth is the divine case, on which there is a thick layer of melted wax.Like a natural barrier protecting what's under the table.

Nie Zheng tentatively picked up a piece. Those wax marks were decades old, and a thick layer of dirt had already solidified on it, and the corpses of several flying insects were buried inside.

He tried to remove the divine case again, but just as he exerted force in his hand, he heard a crisp sound, and the divine case suddenly fell apart at this moment, and the whole thing collapsed.

Only the tabletop is left, and because of the protection of that layer of wax, it still has a complete appearance.

As if specially prepared for him, a fire bag rolled out from one side and landed in front of Nie Zheng.Nie Zheng took advantage of the opportunity and lit a candle on one side, and the room finally became bright again.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but against the candlelight, the red cloth gradually glowed with a faint light.But it was just a quick glance, and soon, the light disappeared.

Nie Zheng looked at his hands. He touched under the wooden barrel just now, and there were a lot of sticky and slippery things on his hands.

He remembered that he just stretched out a few fingers tentatively, but now those things have flowed to the palm of his hand little by little along the lines of his palm.

How could this be?

Nie Zheng frowned thickly.I want to remove something from my hands.But he really didn't want to rub the sticky and bluish-yellow thing on his clothes.

Nie Zheng looked at the red cloth on one side, and always felt that everything was being guided secretly. If he was guided to uncover the red cloth, some problems might be exposed inside.

But he was no longer willing to take the risk.

As an assassin in his previous life, he lived too much life of licking blood with the tip of a knife, and even later the underworld refused to accept him.

He wandered in the world for thousands of years, and finally met Fairy Crimson Pearl.It was Fairy Crimson Pearl that made him find the meaning of life again, and it was the underworld that gave him a new home now.

If he is just a lonely ghost now, he can do whatever he wants without any scruples, at worst, he will sacrifice his life.

But now that he knows the beauty of life and has met all the partners in the underworld, expectations have long been born in his heart. These things have slowly condensed into concerns, changing his original thoughts.

Nie Zheng hesitated for a moment, then looked at the stained palm, hesitated for a moment, then raised his hand to rub against the wax mark.

But the moment he touched it, the thing in his hand automatically attached to the wax mark, spreading down little by little.

It seems that what is stained in his hand at this time is not the water mark left by the wooden barrel, but a key.

The wax mark piled up in front of him is a lock that was deliberately left behind.

The whole picture of the divine case was gradually revealed, and there were strange totems painted on the divine case.The most central position is covered with knife marks again, and below the knife marks is a gorgeously dressed woman rushing to the sky.

Although her movements were upwards, her head was reluctant to turn back, but that face seemed to be deliberately blurred, and it was impossible to see what expression it was.

The woman's hand is protruding downwards. Her hand is probably the most important object to be depicted, and the pen and ink used is a bit more than that of the side.

Nie Zheng followed her fingertips and looked down.

The things below are crudely drawn.It's just some messy branches stalking up.Looking at the shape, it seems to be the hand stretched out by a desperate person, desperately trying to pull the person above, but unable to exert more strength, it can only stay in midair.

The desk case was cut in half, and there were only so many things that could be seen in this half.
