"You can resist, but the result of the resistance will make you a hundred times more miserable than it is now. The stove that came here with me at the beginning, just like you, did not eat or drink, and resisted to the end, but later—"

Xu Muyan asked, "What happened afterwards?"

"Later, he was opened by the devil, forced to drink twenty bowls of ginseng soup, hanging his life, and then tied him to a wooden frame, and arranged thousands of devils to line up outside."

"The screams lasted for a whole day and night... After that, he died."

Xu Muyan: "..."

With a calm tone, he died later.

When Yulisheng said this, it was as calm and indifferent as if she was saying "the weather is so nice" or "the flowers are so fragrant".

Talking about the life and death of others, you can't control your own destiny.

Xu Muyan suddenly wanted to hold Yulisheng and cry, but he was bound by iron chains, so he couldn't do it.

After a long time, Xu Muyan said weakly, "I'd rather die than surrender, if it's really impossible... I'll bite my tongue and kill myself."

But before committing suicide by biting his tongue, he still wanted to spend more time with Yu Lisheng.

Even if you don't say a word, it's fine to just watch over Yulisheng silently.

Keep it as long as you can.

After all, I don't want Yulisheng to be alone.

Yulisheng underestimated this Taoist priest a little bit. When he first met the Taoist priest, he thought that the Taoist priest would be on his knees begging for mercy after holding on for three days.

But the Taoist priest lasted for seven days and seven nights, but still did not give in.

It's just that the spirit seems to be sluggish, and he can't kneel stably, as if someone has pulled out his bones, and he collapses in the corner.

There were deep purple marks on the wrists from the iron chains, and I was afraid that if he hung it up again, his hands would be useless.

When he was unconscious, the Taoist priest was still humming a little song.

Yulisheng couldn't help but listen closely, and suddenly her whole body trembled violently, she let out an "ah", and opened her mouth in surprise.

A name "Xu Yan" popped up in my mind.

That Xu Yan who was deboned and died in order to save him.

But the person in front of him was not Xu Yan.

If it wasn't for Xu Yan, how could he be humming? When Yulisheng was in the Misty Sect dungeon, he hummed the tune for Xu Yan?

Perhaps, this is just a coincidence.

Yulisheng thought to himself, it should be just a coincidence.

People cannot be resurrected after death, so how could Xu Yan and Zhou Yan be the same person.

But Yulisheng still wanted to know why Zhou Yan would hum this tune, so after the demon left.

Opened the Taoist's mouth and fed water into it.

It didn't take long for the Taoist priest to wake up slowly.

He looked very confused, and his voice was very hoarse when he opened his mouth, and he called softly: "Master..."

"I'm not your master." Yu Lisheng said coldly, seeing that the person finally woke up, she asked in a low voice, "Where did you hear the tune you were humming just now?"

Xu Muyan didn't remember humming, and immediately showed a very confused look.

Yu Lisheng asked again: "When you were unconscious just now, you kept humming..."

As he spoke, he hummed for a while.

"Where did you hear that?" Yu Lisheng asked.

Xu Muyan blinked and wanted to tell Yu Lisheng that I just heard you humming.

But when the words came to his lips, there was no way to say them out, and he couldn't recognize Yulisheng either.

As long as it could make him recognize Yulisheng, Xu Muyan was not allowed to express it, or even his actions.

Somewhere, someone prevented them from recognizing each other.

Even God would not allow them to recognize each other.

So, Xu Muyan could only say: "I forgot."

"Forgot? How could you forget? Think about it carefully!" Yu Lisheng suddenly became emotional, pressing his shoulder and asking.

But when he pressed it, Xu Muyan let out a painful snort, and his body trembled.

After a long while, Xu Muyan finally said in a low voice, "I...it hurts so much."

Yulisheng was stunned.

How could it not hurt.

Being bound by iron chains, he could not stand, squat, or sit. He had to kneel upright to avoid being strangled to death by the chains.

Even a hard-nosed person can't stand it.

Yu Lisheng hesitated for a long time, probably because no one had spoken to him for too long.

It may also be the tune hummed by the Taoist priest, which aroused a trace of conscience.

Yulisheng wandered around, saw that there was no devil patrolling, so she leaned over and said in a low voice: "Shut your mouth tightly, don't make any noise, be careful to lure the devil over."

After that, he slowly helped Xu Muyan adjust the chain, trying not to make any noise.

When Xu Muyan was able to sit on the ground, Yu Lisheng carefully pulled his legs out.

Xu Muyan gritted his teeth the whole time, and remained silent for fear of causing trouble to Yu Lisheng.

"Does it hurt?" Yu Lisheng asked.

"Ah."

"It's right if it hurts. If it hurts, it means that the leg bone is not broken."

Yulisheng's perspective on the problem is still very tricky. In his eyes, as long as he is not dead, it is fine.

No matter how painful it is, he can still endure it by clenching his teeth. Anyway, he has endured it like this for so many years.

"The wound on your face is scabbed," Xu Muyan said suddenly, "I told you, saliva can reduce inflammation, so don't touch it randomly, and there will be no scar."

Yu Lisheng said: "If you have such a leisurely mind, you should be more concerned about your own situation."

After a pause, he said sarcastically again: "I hate monks like you the most. You talk about the equality of all beings, and you can only talk about big truths."

"All living beings are equal," Xu Muyan insisted on this point of view, and paused every word, "In my eyes, there is no difference between you and the common people in the world, there is no priority, they are equally important."

"Hypocrisy," Yu Lisheng accused unceremoniously, "There really is a day when you should say sacrifice your life for righteousness, abandon the small self, and fulfill the big self?"

Xu Muyan shook his head and said, "If there is such a day, I will abandon myself and fulfill all of you."

"It can't be seen that Daochang is young, but he understands righteousness so deeply, and cares about the common people in the world. He is really selfless." Yu Lisheng sneered again, scoffing at such words.

"What I said is true, why don't you believe it?" Xu Muyan sighed softly, and didn't make any further excuses, but asked, "Will you be troubled by me if you secretly help me?"

"meeting."

"What should I do?"

"What can I do, just tie you back before the devil finds out, come on, the little Daoist leader who is selfless and cares about all the people in the world—"

Yulisheng took out half a steamed bun from her bosom, broke it open and soaked it in a bowl, after soaking in water, the steamed bun quickly swelled up and became very soft.

"Eat," Yu Lisheng fed the steamed buns to Xu Muyan's lips, and said in a low voice, "After eating, do me a favor."

"You said, as long as I can help, I will definitely help you." Xu Muyan ate steamed buns soaked in cold water, thinking that this was the most delicious thing in the world.

It was very sweet to eat, and said vaguely.

"Eat first, we'll talk when you're done eating." Yu Lisheng whispered.

After Xu Muyan finished eating the steamed buns in two mouthfuls, Yulisheng said, "Help me save one person."

"For... who?" Is it Xu Yan?Is it Xu Yan?

Xu Muyan's heart was beating wildly, and even his breathing became short of breath.

"For my mother, I haven't gone back to worship her for many years."

After hearing this, Xu Muyan felt an indescribable sense of loss.

It turned out that he was self-indulgent.

"Okay, I promise you, so you are quite filial, you must miss her very much." Xu Muyan took advantage of the trend and blew a little red fart.

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Yulisheng laughed coldly.

Laughing so much that Xu Muyan's head was at a loss, and he didn't understand what was so funny about it.

"I hate her to death..."

"What... what?"

"I said, I hate her to death." Yu Lisheng said in a low voice, "I hate her, I hate her to death, why did you give birth to me, why did you give me such a beautiful skin, and why did you die? that early."

Xu Muyan seldom heard Yu Lisheng talk about his parents. In the original text, Yu Lisheng's mother died early, and Yu Lisheng had always lived with his father and elder brother.

At the beginning, Yu Lisheng was quite favored by his brother at home, but later his brother killed him in order to fight for the position of Patriarch.

All in all, Yulisheng's childhood was also very unfortunate.

"But, she has already given you the best things, Yulisheng." Xu Muyan said softly from the side, "She gave you life, let you come into the world, watch all the fireworks in the world, give you You don't have to feel inferior because of your appearance."

"When I was born, there was a vision in the sky. There was no rain in the whole country for three years, and there was a severe drought in the world. It was like a hell. At that time, everyone believed that I was a disaster, including my mother."

Yu Lisheng sat against the corner of the wall, with his legs stretched out, most of his face was hidden in the night, and he couldn't see clearly his emotions at the moment.

The voice was light and ethereal, and seemed a little ethereal.

"At that time, my mother had a difficult labor, and she didn't give birth for a day and a night. The midwife asked my father whether to protect my mother or to protect my mother. My father loved my mother very much, so he said that he wanted to protect my mother, which made me suffocate in life. In the mother's womb, and then lead out my corpse."

Xu Muyan didn't interrupt, just quietly being a listener.

"But then, I didn't die, I really wanted to live, I just wanted to live."

Yu Lisheng's voice became low, and he clenched his fists calmly, the darkness almost completely engulfed him.

There was no light on his body at all, like dead bones in a coffin, lifeless.

"...I dug up my mother's birth canal with both hands, forced my head out of it, and struggled desperately to get out of the mother's womb."

Xu Muyan opened his mouth slightly, and could already imagine that scene.

A pair of very immature hands, in order to survive, dug up the mother's birth canal and struggled hard to get out.

What a terrifying scene that must have been.

"...As a result, my mother's vitality was severely damaged, and she could no longer conceive."

Yu Lisheng said slowly, when talking about the past, there was no emotional ups and downs, but Xu Muyan could still tell that he had been suppressing his emotions.

"Because of this, my mother died early. In fact, I don't remember clearly what my mother looked like. In my memory, she has been recuperating behind closed doors. She doesn't hug me or get close to me. She doesn't love me. "

"I seldom saw her when I was a child. Every time I could only see her through a door. Sometimes, she would say a few words to me, telling me to be good, to be obedient, and not to make my father and elder brother angry."

When Yu Lisheng said this, he laughed in a low voice: "Maybe my father really loves my mother very much, so even though he knew that I was a disaster, he still favored me very much. At that time, I had a half-father My half-brother, he also dotes on me very much, and often plays games with me to make me happy."

"So, even without my mother loving me, I was very happy. But then, my mother died, very suddenly. Before she died, she was finally willing to see me, and took my hand, as if to say What, but in the end, he passed away without saying anything."

"Since that day, the sky above my head has collapsed little by little, and my father's heart seems to have gone with my mother's death. My physical condition is getting worse day by day. My elder brother's attitude towards me, It also slowly changed, from the very love at the beginning, to the gradual estrangement and indifference, and finally, he pushed me into the bottomless abyss."

"Xiao Daoist, tell me, what did my mother want to say to me before she died?"

Yu Lisheng didn't know what was wrong with him, maybe when he saw the Taoist priest in front of him, he suddenly remembered Xu Yan who had been deboned and died.

Or, hearing the Taoist priest humming the ditty my mother used to hum, these painful memories suddenly came back.

Anyway, no matter what, Yulisheng asked the question out of nowhere.

Then he turned his head and looked over steadily, quietly waiting for the Taoist priest to speak.

Xu Muyan thought for a while, and he said: "I think, your mother must want to tell you that it's not your fault, she loves you very much, and hopes that you can live a good life."

"...if that's the case."

Yulisheng heaved a long sigh, his face was full of loneliness, which made Xu Muyan feel very distressed.

Unable to bear it, she leaned over, wanting to hug Yulisheng.

But the damn chain bound Xu Muyan's arms, making it impossible for him to embrace Yu Lisheng.

"I'm tired, please help my mother out."

Yulisheng closed her eyes, looking very tired.

In fact, Xu Muyan wouldn't be able to transcend at all, if he was in his original world, if he missed his dead relatives.

Then you can go directly to the grave to burn paper to worship, or find a bridge, or you can burn paper to send messages to the dead relatives.

But without that condition right now, Xu Muyan could only pretend to close his eyes, mutter something, and make up a few scriptures.

I silently prayed in my heart, if there is an afterlife, can I add some sugar to Mengpo soup, and then drink it for Yulisheng.

Yu Lisheng's life was really too bitter.

It seems that it has never been sweet, but it has been bitter for so many years.

No wonder the way Yulisheng laughed afterwards, it seemed that he was smiling at Jiuquan.

He was smiling obviously, but he was so gloomy that people dared not get close to him.

After a long time, Xu Muyan let out his breath slowly, and he suddenly asked: "Yu Lisheng, do you still remember your birth date?"

Yu Lisheng opened his eyes, frowned and said, "Why do you ask my birth date? Are you going to exchange Geng posts with me?"
