After wearing lotus essence

The flowing water was so fast that he could not see the direction at all. If Rong Mu hadn't been born in water and possessed spiritual power, he would have been dragged into a dark hole.

He walked through countless forks along the way, each of which left a green and white mark, and even picked up many lost merchant soldiers.

Those people couldn't see who he was, they only remembered the other party's flexible clothes like silver stars, when they thought they were going to die here, they were firmly pulled out by a pair of warm hands.

It's like meeting a kind fairy.

Rong Mu pointed out the direction for them, but he felt that the water flow under his feet was getting faster and faster. This was an extremely dangerous signal. Generally, such culverts would not be so abnormal at all. Changes, some going out, some rushing in, all messed up.

Today, it is still standing upright, probably because it is supported by the main stone pillar somewhere.

Rong Mu scolded Shangciheiheilianhua ten thousand times in his heart.

Is he dying? !

In order to kill an Earl, is he going to put himself in it?

Rong Mu floated up from the water, and walked up to a bank that was not completely submerged in a few steps. The surrounding was dark, only the sound of rushing water.

He clenched his fist and smashed it on the stone wall angrily, a feeling of powerlessness that he didn't know where Shang Cizhou was swept his whole body.

Closing his eyes, he saw a terrifying scene in front of his eyes. Rong Mu couldn't even imagine the feeling of not having Shang Cizhou by his side, the feeling of suffocation that the surrounding air seemed to be emptied out. It was clear that he was not drowning, but his chest seemed to be filled with mud And Mianmian, they were so choked up that they couldn't even choke, they were only dizzy from anxiety, and had to search in a place where there was no hope and they didn't know where the way out was.

Rong Mu took two quick breaths, his throat made a thin sound, he forced himself to calm down for a few seconds, and then he called out "Shang Ci Zhou".

But there was no response.

Rong Mu's nose gradually became astringent, and he walked a few steps along the cave, his voice trembling: "Shang Cizhou! Where are you!"

Echoes came from all directions, as if laughing at his childish behavior.

His hair was all messed up, sticking wetly to his cheeks and neck. He walked a few steps forward and stumbled over an obstacle under his feet. When he turned around, he found that it was the corpse of a West Vietnamese soldier. There was also a long sword of a great merchant sergeant stuck in his chest, and his face was pale from the running water.

There was a churning in Rong Mu's stomach. Fear and nausea reached the peak at this moment. He was well protected since he was a child. Super emperor Shang Cizhou, have you ever seen such a terrifying scene like a haunted house in hell?

He looked at the dead man in front of him, and a feeling of powerlessness over the loss of life surged up so clearly that he even felt a dull pain in his chest.

Rong Mu looked down in a daze, as if he saw a sharp dagger stuck in his heart.

The fear that he might lose Shang Cizhou because of this made him suddenly think of something that he has been unwilling to think of.

Rong Mu's eyes turned red, and he called out "Shang Ci Zhou" again.

The sense of desperation that no one responded made the memories he didn't want to recall clearer, and it seemed like an illusion appeared in front of him in an instant.

……

The door of the East Palace was opened wide for the crown prince's owner. Shang Cizhou, who came back from the continent, ran into the door with snacks, flowers and plants. Yuhu, passing by Tingzhi Que, only to find that apart from the wide-open palace gate, no one came to welcome His Highness the Crown Prince.

"Tingzhi! Tingzhi! I'm back!"

Shang Ciri ran into the pavilion, searched up and down a few times, but found no one, not even Liu Dong. He put down the things in his hands, turned around a few times in doubt, and went downstairs to the main hall.

It's just that the further you walk, the more obvious the desolation and bleakness become. There is something frightening in your heart, just waiting for the critical moment to jump out and take a bite. Shang Cizhou clenched his lips, and suddenly stepped on a white patch under his feet. paper money.

Looking up again, the cool wind from the East Palace rolled up the white cloth all over the sky, and at the end of the corridor was Liu Dong, the housekeeper who had been kneeling for an indefinitely long time.

When Liu Dong saw the prince, he couldn't stand up for a while, and fell down again.

"What are you all doing?" Shang Cizhou said calmly.

With a hoarse voice and numb eyes, Liu Dong said: "...Your Highness, Your Highness, you are back."

Shang Cizhou said strangely: "Yes, I'm back, where is Ting Zhi?"

Liu Dong's lips twitched, he stretched out his hand for a while, and pointed tremblingly to the inside of the main hall.

Shang Cizhou walked a few steps, and suddenly tripped on the sole of his foot, he asked, "Who has come to the Prince's Mansion?"

Only then did Liu Dong's voice sound sobbing: "Yes, it was the Fourth Prince who came. Your Majesty asked him to search the Prince's Mansion and arrest everyone in the mansion. He came and left again."

"Arrest? Then why are you still here?" Shang Cizhou tilted his head and said, his voice became softer and softer, and then asked again: "Where is my highness's slave? And the lotus of Yuhu, why are they all dressed like that?" Look half dead?"

Liu Dong pointed inside again: "The old slave is incompetent, the old slave is incompetent!"

The air was silent for a moment, Liu Dong raised his eyes, and saw the young prince in front of him with a pale face, but the veins on his forehead were bulging, as if he was suppressing something.

Liu Dong stepped forward and hugged Shang Cizhou's leg, and finally cried loudly: "It's the fourth prince! It's the fourth prince! He took His Majesty's edict! He wants to wash the prince's mansion while you're not here, old slave Wishing to die immediately, this old slave knows, knows what His Highness has in mind, Your Highness, you—"

Before he finished speaking, he was kicked out by Shang Cizhou. Liu Dong saw the prince walking around the door twice, like a trapped beast with broken ribs, and heard the prince ask: " Tingzhi is inside, isn't it? Shang Cixie made it difficult for him, didn't he?"

Before Liu Dong could answer, Shang Cizhou seemed to have just found the courage to take a step forward. The high threshold of the royal family hooked the soles of his feet for a moment. Quietly fell asleep alone.

"Tingzhi..." he murmured.

Liu Dong heard a moment of silence inside, and then a voice of calling came again.

"Tingzhi?"

Shang Cizhou walked to the bedside: "I, I'm back Tingzhi, please pay attention to me, I brought you Xiaohe crisps, and, there are glutinous rice cakes - Tingzhi?"

No one answered, the exquisite and cute young boy fell asleep obediently, without any stains or expressions on his face, he just seemed to be too lazy to talk to him.

Liu Dong heard the people inside yelling those two words in a daze. At some point, the sound of bronze mirrors and tables being smashed came out. Liu Dong's heart trembled. Hearing the crackling sound of a sword being pulled out, his heart skipped a beat, and saw His Highness the Crown Prince walking out with the sword in hand.

Ever since he was a child, he had never seen such a look on this master's face, distorted, sinister, like Shura.

Liu Dongfei rushed over, hugged the prince's leg again, and dragged his pace.

Shang Cizhou didn't say a word, turned around and was about to chop off with his sword, Liu Dong shouted: "Your Highness! If you can't bear it, you will make a big mess!!"

Shang Cizhou was short of breath, hooted a few times in a strange voice, and said in a low voice: "Why are you all still alive? Ah? Why are you all alive!"

The Eastern Palace attendant who was kneeling not far away didn't even dare to make a sound, just looked at the master like crazy and said, "Liu Dong! I can't wake him up! I can't wake him up! He ignored me!"

Liu Dong cried and said: "This old slave knows, this old slave knows—"

Shang Cizhou's expression alternated between happy and sad, as if he was about to cry, and then laughed again: "It's gone, it's gone again, my mother doesn't want me, my father abandoned me, my brother bullied me, am I a prince? I’m not as good as wild dogs! When you need me, I’m a royal knife, and when you don’t need me, I’m a motherless little bastard. It’s hard for me... It’s hard for me to find someone who cares about me sincerely. Call me to eat, call me to rest, and heal my wounds, hahahaha it’s gone again! It’s gone again! I can’t catch anything, I can’t catch anything!!”

Liu Dong felt so sad that he was about to explode. No one knew better than him how the master had come here for so many years. He cried: "Your Highness, Your Highness, it's not time to start trouble now! You go now, it's the right time We are entering the deadlock between the Fourth Prince and Concubine Qi! You are the orthodox prince of the Great Shang, bear with me for a while, and after a hundred years, this country will definitely be yours! If you become the emperor, you can avenge today's revenge!"

Shang Cizhou slammed him away, muttering to himself at times, and shouting loudly at times, but no one answered him boldly, and no one deliberately jumped out of the threshold to scare him.

"Liu Dong... Liu Dong, I can't wake up, he can't hear me, ignore me, is he, is he angry?"

Shang Cizhou took off the hilt of the sword in his hand, he didn't seem to know what to do and where to go, he was stunned for a while, then ran back, knelt and sat in front of the bed with disheveled clothes, and whispered "" Ting Zhi".

But Ting Zhi ignored him.

The shattered copper mirror on the ground was cut into pieces, and the calls could not be pieced together. The despair and depression were cut on the human skin like a real touch. Rong Mu took two breaths with difficulty. In an instant, the phantom-like scene in front of him disappeared, leaving only the dark cave and the increasingly thin air.

He couldn't call Shang Cizhou, just like Shang Cizhou couldn't call him back then, this kind of scene of numerology connected with the same experience made Rong Mu breathless for a while, he was too anxious to find someone, and he went back ten years Such a familiar scene before.

When he first went to Huguo Temple, Shang Cizhou told him that he enjoys calling his name, and that he likes to see him agree when he calls his name. How did you say it...

"You are deaf and dumb, sometimes you don't respond to Gu's shouts, and you don't answer, but Ting Zhi is much better now, and will stay by Gu's side well..."

Rong Mu tightened his chest and leaned against the wall with his brows furrowed.

"Shang Cizhou... Shang Cizhou!" He suddenly raised his voice, "Don't kill people anymore! This place is about to collapse! —— Shang Cizhou!"

The echo rushed across a boulder, and then bounced back. Rong Mu heard murmurs, suppressing the surge of memories, stepped over the corpse on the bank, and walked quickly towards the depths of the cave.

He doesn't believe it, he doesn't believe it!

Shang Cizhou was able to bring himself back under such circumstances back then, but now that he who understands water and is in his prime, can he save a living person? !

The rich fragrance of flowers submerged in the water, and was carried to all directions by the flowing water. After an unknown distance in the cave, a sharp machete could cut the side of the man's face.

Shang Cizhou sneered and said: "His Royal Highness knows how to hide, he is as easy to find as a mouse."

Ernu's face was distorted and he was out of breath: "What you gave me is not the real king lotus petals at all!"

Shang Cizhou let out a sigh: "That's not it? Gu just lied to you, what can you do to Gu? The petals of Wang Lian are Gu's favorite thing. Wouldn't it be a waste of money to use it for a barbarian like you?"

"...you are such a lunatic!"

Ernuo cut it with a scimitar, and Shang Ciju dodged it. He passed the boulder just now, and there was indeed a hole behind him, a big hole surrounded by a small hole, and Ernuo was blocked by them at another exit.

"Gu is crazy. I have been looking for you for so many days, and how much time I have wasted... In order to deal with you, Gu Ke left Nandai overnight, just to come to chat with the prince."

Earl was in a hurry and chased after Shang Cizhou, but he was seriously ill. Apart from relying on the terrain advantage, he couldn't fight Shang Cizhou for half a point.

The latter swept off Ernor's fur hat with a sword, and said quickly: "Everyone wants to live a long life without disease and disaster, but you should absolutely not, and you should not use other people's lives to fill yourself. Do you know how many people have been dragged down by this cattle and sheep epidemic? Do you think that by using this to bring down my big merchant army, you can go straight into the country and snatch the petals of Wang Lian? Life is a matter of life, you are ridiculous."

Ernu's face turned red. He was a few years older than Shang Cizhou. One person was already the emperor of a big country with power in his hands, but the other was just a small court prince. Now he was forced into this cave, and nothing but anger , and a deep sense of humiliation.

In the depths of death, Ernor seemed to be returning to the light: "You laugh at me, you are the most pathetic, hahahaha, the emperor of a country is actually fascinated by a man, the one who played with the tiger at the banquet in Taishan... you After doing so many things, do you think he likes you? A bullshit prince whose father doesn’t love his mother doesn’t love him. It’s really useless, so what if he becomes the emperor? If it were me, I would have tied him up and trapped him long ago , Tell him to enjoy the darkness only for me!"

Shang Cizhou narrowed his eyes, smiled and pierced Ernu's arm fiercely: "Yes, that's it, Gu Zhen feels sad for you, a selfish barbarian like you can still live for almost 30 years. The cattle and sheep epidemic, coupled with the countless frontier provocations before, no matter how much Gu Yiren can bear it, Xiyue is born to be unable to change the evil thoughts in his bones, the king of hell will not accept you, Gu will accept you today."

Ernu leaned against the stone wall behind, and suddenly lowered his head and smiled sinisterly: "Take it, I can be buried with the Emperor of the Great Shang. It's not in vain that I specially chose such a treasured place of geomantic omen!"

Shang Cizhou's eyes moved, and suddenly he felt an evil wind blowing from his waist, he dodged to avoid it, causing Ernu to take off his hand for a while.

There is no water intruding into the hole here for the time being, and the opponent's whole body is soaked in blood. Those who sneaked in don't know which hole they were thrown into by Ernu. Only Shang Cizhou relied on the memory of the terrain in his brain Did not lose the target.

"You don't know yet, the prince just asked someone to tear down the pillars of the main cave. It wasn't for you. How could I give such a big gift...? Without the big merchant, you will definitely be as big as Xiyue Kingdom." , A hundred years later, who knows if my survivors of West Vietnam will go south again? Will your big merchants still have an emperor like you? Until the end, who knows who will win or lose, Shang Cizhou, today you will be buried with me Under the ground!"

After Ernu finished speaking, he didn't know where the mechanism was pressed, and another boulder was suddenly rumbled away from the top. In just a split second, the raging water poured down. Shang Cizhou looked up and caught a glimpse of Ernu Move to the corner.

Ernuo was so afraid of death, did he really leave no way out for himself?

No, it won't.

For a greedy person like him, even if he died, he would not die in this dark place. When Shang Cizhou moved his eyes, he saw Ernu reaching out to pick a raised stone. Behind the stone was a long Long narrow caves.

He squinted his eyes, completely ignoring the swiftly pouring dark river water, tiptoed through the fierce water, grabbed Ernu's collar that was about to get into the small hole, and in the eyes of the other party's dilated pupils, put the long spear in his hand The sword passes through the chest.

He was completely nailed to the stone wall.

Ernu let out two hoots, blood spouted from his mouth and nose, and then the arm holding the scimitar completely softened. A generation of princes finally died in such a useless place in an unknown place. corner.

Seeing that he was dead, Shang Cizhou reached out and touched the purple spar that he had already picked in his bosom, and was about to leave the big hole through the final exit.

However, in the blink of an eye, Lianyu's words suddenly appeared in his mind.

If you choose to avoid danger, you need to choose a place with a thick water column and a large space, and you must not approach a narrow and narrow place.

Shang Cizhou took a look at this last "way of life", and his eyes stayed on Ernu's weird smile fixed on the corner of his mouth.

... The treacherous thief wolf, when his death is imminent, he still does not forget to plot against him, thinking that he has predicted his prediction.

Shang Cizhou became calmer in the more dangerous situation. He took a look at the cave, then turned around and grabbed the high rock without hesitation, and let the water flow that had poured down rush into the cave, and the inside was blown away in an instant. Flooded one completely.

If he had just entered, the fierce water would block the way out, and there was no way to run in front of him, and he would just be drowned in it alive.

The overwhelming water flow is like being poured into a tank, and the open mechanism on the top of the head has completely turned into a huge water column. If you can't find another way out, you will be choked to death if you stay here.

Shang Cizhou groped around, and returned to the boulder that he just dived over. The people following him had already been washed away, and the water had already overflowed his chest.

He lowered his head and touched the purple spar in the skirt of his shirt again.

"...Fortunately, I put the carved little lotus on Wu Zhui's back." Shang Ciri didn't have much expression on his face, but he was able to remain calm at this moment. , he can quickly sneak out the same way.

It's just that the strength in the water was hindered, and after a dozen times of back and forth manipulation, the huge boulder remained motionless.

However, the water level was getting higher and higher, and his long black hair stuck to his side face. Shang Cizhou took a deep breath and looked at the flood-like water flow under his feet. He was far less quiet and obedient than when he dived over just now.

I don't know if I can dive under this water potential, and it is very likely that I will be swept away completely by the current.

Ernu did leave a way of life for himself, but he also turned the switch on the top of his head. If the water there hadn't poured down, maybe the narrow path could be passed.

He really wanted to die here, and he didn't even need Dashang to do anything, and he didn't hesitate to destroy Xiyue's national line by himself.

The milkstone on the top of the head has already pierced the back sharply, Shang Cizhou still did not give up, and planned to return to the "water jar". At least there is a stable cave with a lot of space.

The flowing water poured in too fast, and this speed could not be explained clearly by Earl's tearing down a pillar. It was only due to the fate of the cave, and it happened to coincide with the end of the life of the cave.

Shang Cizhou took one last look at the direction of the boulder, and when he was about to turn around and leave, he heard a voice that lingered thousands of times in his dream.

"Shang Cizhou! Shang Cizhou!"

"Black Lotus!!" The voice choked twice, coughed twice as if choking on water, and then said hoarsely: "Heixinlian! Dog Emperor! Where are you! ——Shang Cizhou! Ah Zhou !"

Shang Cizhou's pupils constricted suddenly, thinking that he was hallucinating in a desperate situation.

——Why is Rong Mu here? !

His face was not calm, but a little flustered, Shang Cizhou no longer knew whether it was real or an illusion, the instinct of chasing Rong Mu drove him to go to the boulder where the sound came from.

He slashed fiercely at the gap with his long sword again. At a certain moment, the sword in his hand curled up. He took a look and heard the voice seem to be getting farther and farther away. He couldn't care about anything else, and said loudly: "Tingzhi? Is that you!"

Rong Mu didn't answer, Shang Cizhou was terrified of Rong Mu's non-response to him, he looked at the undercurrent that couldn't reach the bottom, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, and he went straight into the undercurrent.

A huge current of water swept in the opposite direction. Shang Cizhou held his breath and held on to the stones next to him to stabilize his figure. At the same time, he seemed to hear the sound of someone jumping into the dark river .

There is also a familiar, rich lotus fragrance.

The long hair was scattered in the water, and it was difficult to see the way forward in the darkness. The current was really fast and fierce. Shang Cizhou couldn't imagine if it was really Rong Mu. maintain balance.

At this moment, how much he wished that Rong Mu An could be safely in the capital of the Southern Dynasties, instead of really being in this cave where no ghosts would come.

Shang Cizhou had been wrestling with Ernor for a while, and the water washed over him, like a small long boat, and there was no room above his head. Shang Cizhou looked up for a moment, and suddenly loosened his hand.

He won't break here just because he killed an Ernor, the current plan is to return to the big cave just now as soon as possible with this current.

Shang Cizhou only thought that he was really hallucinating, or maybe this was the most beautiful fantasy that a person had in a desperate situation, he thought so, and completely handed over his body to the raging undercurrent.

It's just that the fragrance of flowers became more and more intense, Shang Cizhou slightly opened his eyes, as if he saw a whitebait wrapped in fine gauze coming swiftly from the other side of the water.

His figure almost passed the flowing water, almost passed the gravel, and just rushed towards him. Shang Cizhou was stunned, and in his dark eyes, he saw the imaginary person sticking to the stone. He clasped his arm tightly, restraining the trend of drifting with the flow, but his eyes were very red, and big tears fell straight down.

For the first time in his life, Shang Cizhou was dumbfounded in place, the feeling of lack of oxygen in his chest made his mind hard to turn, and he just looked at Rong Mu in a daze.

The latter didn't say a word, and seemed to glared at him fiercely, and then Shang Cizhou felt himself being dragged by a huge force, and passed through the countercurrent abruptly.

The milk stones on top of his head were smashed into the water one after another, Rong Mu just rushed forward, half not aware of the danger on the top, Shang Cizhou had no idea where he got such a force to take the two of them through the bottom of the boulder.

Going back the same way, of course, is much better than that unknown canned cave.

When the two came out of the water where there was only a trace of thin air left, Rong Mu cursed: "Shang Cizhou, you are capable! You are capable!"

Finally convinced that everything in front of him was not an illusion, Shang Cizhou took a sudden breath, and before he could speak, he saw a huge and sharp milkstone facing Rong Mu's back, engulfed by the current, his pupils suddenly constricted , Hugged Rong Mu violently, tapped the soles of his feet on the stone wall for a moment, and switched the positions of the two.

Huge momentum hit from behind, Rong Mu only felt that the two of them were forced to hit the boulder behind them, and the water flooded the lucky breathing space just now almost instantly.

Before he could react to what happened, there seemed to be a low muffled hum in his ear.

Rong Mu's eyes shattered, and he saw a cloud of black and red rising from Shang Cizhou's back. He was being scolded by himself, but he was still half worried and half smiling.

Rong Mu subconsciously shook his head: "No..."

Shang Cizhou's lips moved, and air bubbles rolled up, Rong Mu looked at the lip shape, and a sharp buzzing sound came from his mind.

The thought that Shang Cizhou will really die is like a hemp rope around the neck, entangled with numbness and pain, Rong Mu tightly grasped Shang Cizhou's hand, the water has already flooded up, and the location of the water mine mouth is still far away .

Rong Mu's tears fell uncontrollably, he randomly pressed the wound on Shang Cizhou's back, and then quickly moved his lips over, sticking to the warm and thin softness.

In the darkness, redemption and love are far more turbulent than torrents and death. Shang Cizhou seemed unable to respond. Rong Mu bit him viciously, and in a gap that opened in a trance, all the air in his chest was transferred to him. emperor.
