"Unbearable to Copy" by Wuxin Mage

Yue Qiluo glanced at him, and answered the wrong question: "You really look like Gu Fuzhe."

Gu Zhi was stunned: "If you don't tell me, I thought he was from my previous life."

Yue Qiluo gave a rare smile, and said: "Isn't one Zhang Xianzong enough? You look very different from Gu Fu Zhedu, but I also look very different from Yelu Tinni. After so many years, no one has ever looked the same. know where he went."

Ever since Yue Qiluo passed out in front of the tent that day, he has been in a state of confusion, going crazy and waking up, first he lost his memory, and then he was stimulated by the tragic image of Qingyun Temple, and just now he lost his temper for no reason in Xuanzhou City.Now that she had calmed down, she sat there quietly, her eyes staring blankly at the grassland, a pair of gloomy black eyes.Her hair has been loose, and her forehead is not neat, looking a little embarrassed.Gu Zhi stretched out his hand carefully, and smoothed it out for her.

"Go away." Yue Qiluo suddenly turned her head to him, "I killed a lot of people, far more than you imagined. If you are afraid, go as far away as possible."

Gu Zhi laughed: "What am I afraid of you?"

Yue Qiluo stared at him: "Afraid, be afraid! I crushed people's internal organs, and hundreds of people died in my plague. Don't you remember, I used to like to cook soup with babies. A baby born three or four months old, whose skin is rotten and bones crispy, is the most nourishing. You are afraid, and you have to be afraid if you are not afraid!" As he spoke, his tone softened again, and his eyelashes were drooping to cover his eyes. "Wait until you find it." Once you get out of the exit, run as far as you can, and don't look back. If I catch up, you just wait for me. If not, you go all the way back to town, go to the city to go to university, and forget about me !"

Gu Zhi stared at Yue Qiluo in a daze, his fingers were as cold as ice.She spoke like crazy, but her eyes were extremely calm.Gu Zhi knew that she was deliberately forcing him to leave, but why did she do this?In his heart, Yue Qiluo has always been omnipotent, and nothing can defeat her.For the first time, he realized that Yue Qiluo was still a child who hadn't grown up.

Yue Qiluo stuffed the milk jug into Gu Zhi's hand, turned and walked away.She drank less than half of the can of milk, but at this time the milk in the can was still full to the mouth of the bottle.This is the place of eternal life, and milk is inexhaustible.Yue Qiluo is immortal, in front of her, he is just an ant who lives and dies, and cannot stay with her for long.Only here can he be with her forever.But Gu Zhi's heart sank heavily, he thought, Yue Qiluo didn't want him anymore.

Wuxin lay on someone else's bed and slept soundly. He was lying on the floor of the bed, not even covered with a quilt, and was snoring. Bai Liuli came in and dragged him to the ground.Before he had an attack, he stared back: "Still asleep? You don't even look at this place."

Wuxin yawned, squinted and glanced outside the tent: "Is the beef cooked?"

Bai Liuli frowned and said, "Don't even think about eating. Since this place wasn't a prairie in 1974, it must be a prairie in the Liao Dynasty. What do you think is the cause of Yelv Tianni's death?"

Wuxin lifted his spirits: "Didn't it have something to do with Yelu Longxu?"

Bai Liuli shook his head, and threw something into his arms: "I'm afraid we all thought wrong, look what it is."

Wuxin took it over and took a look, it was a bronze plaque.On the front is engraved Tianzuo Nanzhan Buzhou Zun Nieyang Princess, which is exactly the same as the handwriting on the previous compass.There is also a line of words engraved on the reverse side, which is "kill the evil spirits first, then kill the night light, what god refuses to accept, what ghost dare to be"

"I've seen several tents, and every family has this sign, as if offering to their ancestors." Bai Liuli said, "It seems that there are hundreds of tents in this area, all of which are the people of Yeludiani."

Wuxin wondered: "Why do you look like the leader of a cult?"

"I'm afraid it's not that simple."

A chill ran down Wuxin's spine: "What do you mean?"

"I found out in Qingyun Temple before that this ghost town illusion is actually very rough. How did we happen to find Qingyun Temple in such a huge Zhutou Mountain? The entire Xuanzhou City is so big, why is there only a trace of people in the fan shop? "Bai Liuli frowned, "It seems that the person who set up the magic circle has a very strong purpose, and will only restore the places related to Yue Qiluo to the state of the past."

The more Wuxin listened, the more confused she became: "Speak directly, don't go around in circles."

"Wuxin, think about it. Qingyun Temple, Fan Shop, what do they have in common before?"

"...everyone died?"

"What about the hundreds of tents here and the ghost town at the beginning?"

Wuxin's body was suddenly cool and cloudy, as if soaked in a pool of cold water, and her voice didn't sound like her own: "You mean, people in these places all died at the hands of Yue Qiluo?"

With a dignified expression, Bai Liuli nodded silently.

"This, this..." Wu Xin was tongue-tied, "So many people, this is a city massacre."

"It's the City of Sacrifice, have you forgotten the word on the temple and the sign?" Bai Liuli took the sign in his hand and sighed, "Back then, Huayue massacred in Bianliang and killed countless people with the plague. I also died in Bianliang. I thought she would stop here, but I didn't expect... Maybe Yelu Tinni died at the hands of her subjects in the end. She sacrificed a living person and ate human flesh, which might arouse public outrage. The entire royal city disappeared into the desert."

Unintentionally thinking that thousands of people in the tribes and ghost towns here have turned into walking corpses, and I can't help being terrified for a while.The small stove outside the tent was boiling, and a smell of beef came in.Wuxin and Bai Liuli picked up the curtain and went out, seeing Gu Zhi sitting on the ground in a daze, Yue Qiluo didn't know where to go.Wu Xin walked over and turned off the stove, picked out a few pieces with a knife and put them on the plate, calling Gu Zhi to eat.Gu Zhi's complexion was covered with a layer of black clouds, he ate a few yuan without saying a word, and then said with a heavy heart: "I think Qi Luo's state is not right, but please take care of her and don't let her do stupid things. "

Wuxin stuffed her mouth full of meat, and said vaguely: "Yue Qiluo is so calculating, how could she do something stupid."

Gu Zhi didn't speak, just ate a few pieces indiscriminately, then wrapped up the rest and went to find Yue Qiluo.Wuxin and Bai Liuli filled their stomachs, and they searched for a few knives from the tent and kept them on their bodies.Although there were no living people here, the cows and horses were still tied in the shed. He led the four horses out from the stables, just in time to see Gu Zhi and Yue Qiluo walking towards them from not far away.

Riding horses to leave the tribe here, a group of people wandered aimlessly on the grassland, without a map or a compass, and the sun above their heads was always hanging in the center, scorching people all over.I don't know how long I walked, and suddenly the shadow of a mountain appeared in front of me.The four threw their horses at the foot of the mountain, rolled up their trouser legs and climbed up the mountain.

After climbing a few steps, the sky changed again.It was still sunny at noon just now, but now it was dawn again, and the light was dim.Before going up the mountain, Wu Xin took a long look to make sure that this was not Zhutou Mountain, nor was it a familiar mountain.There is no novel discovery along the way. I have climbed the top of the mountain and walked down the mountain.Looking up again, the sky has slowly brightened at this time, and there is clearly another mountain in front of me.Inadvertently took a closer look and was stunned.

"Pig Head Mountain," he tried hard to distinguish the outline of the mountain, "It's Pig Head Mountain again!"

Yue Qiluo took the lead, and Gu Zhi followed.As Wuxin walked down the mountain, she felt a faint sense of foreboding in her heart.Sure enough, after descending the Wuming Mountain and climbing the Zhutou Mountain, after walking along the path for a short time, the outline of the house can be seen from a distance.This house is quite different from the previous Qingyun Temple or Xuanzhou City. Judging from the format, it is clearly a house in the past few decades.This is Wen County in the Republic of China.

The first time Wuxin came to Wen County from the capital was during the reign of Tongzhi.He lived here until the second year of the Republic of China. When Yueya died, he went to Shanghai and never came back for more than fifty years.This is where it all begins and where it ends.He didn't expect to come back this way.

Wuxin didn't speak, Yue Qiluo didn't say a word, Bai Liuli looked at them silently beside her.This place meant a lot to the four of them, Zhang Xianzong was the one who felt the most relaxed, he couldn't remember anything, so he didn't have any debts.

When I stepped into the gate of Wen County, it was about six or seven o'clock in the morning, and Wen County was empty, not even a stray cat.Yue Qiluo was determined not to stay here, but to go as far as possible.The whole group was eerily silent, only the soft sound of the soles of their shoes hitting the ground could be heard.

Yue Qiluo was faintly worried, what if there were Shanghai and Chongqing in front of him?She thought of the sweet-scented osmanthus tree in Chongqing, and felt sour for a moment, and avoided thinking about it.But she took the lead and walked out of Wen County from the other side, and there was another empty wasteland in front of her. After walking a few steps, a small town came into view, which was clearly Wen County.

"It seems that this is the end," Bai Liuli broke the silence, "The magic circle deliberately trapped us in Wen County back then, probably because there is a mystery here. Even if there is no way, we can't get out just by walking. We are in the Let's rest now."

Yue Qiluo shivered in the cold wind and bit her lip. It was winter in Wen County in 1917, and she was still wearing autumn clothes. When she entered the gate of Wen County, the temperature cooled down rapidly, and she was about to freeze them into four popsicles.

Wuxin originally wanted to find an available house to live in, and tried not to go to the old place as much as possible.But all the houses are guarded by General Tie, even the headquarters, and the only door that can be entered is the house of Wuxin and Yueya.Bai Liuli's nose turned red from the cold, and she couldn't help but smile wryly at Wuxin.Wuxin sullenly, without saying a word, acquiesced to them.

Several people entered the house and started a fire.Gu Zhi dug out four coats from the closet in the back room and divided them up. He put on his own clothes with ease, and nestled by the stove to keep warm.Gu Zhi was roasting his frozen hands by the stove, seeing Yue Qiluo next to him had a cut in his clothes, so he wanted to fetch a needle and thread basket.Just as she stretched out her hand, Wuxin said in a muffled voice beside her, "That's from Crescent Moon."

Gu Zhi was stunned for a moment, not knowing who Yueya was, but Wuxin's fierce and sad eyes forced him back.He turned around and gestured for the tear on Yue Qiluo's clothes, grabbed both sides and pulled towards the middle, thinking if the tear was broken, would she be cold?Will the cotton inside leak out?Or, find her a mink coat?

Wuxin said again: "That's Crescent Moon's clothes."

Yue Qiluo didn't make a sound until now, but now she said mockingly: "Okay, it's like a bereaved dog. Who killed Zhang Xianzong twice, I haven't settled the score with you yet."

Wuxin was most annoyed when someone poked his wound, and the person who broke the ground was Yue Qiluo again.He was about to open his mouth to quarrel with her, when Bai Liuli suddenly ran in from the door in a hurry, his face was full of excitement: "I found a way to get out of here!"

Wuxin was stunned, and didn't care about the quarrel, she stood up and said, "What can I do?"

The method Bai Liuli said was actually just laying out another magic circle.

According to him, this is the edge of the magic circle, and the structure is relatively fragile.If he used the blood of the black dog to draw a formation here, accompanied by a spell, and he recited the spell, maybe a gap could be opened.Bai Liuli did what he said, and immediately dug out a pile of yellow paper from Wuxin's cabinet, and the people who formed the magic circle faithfully restored it, and even the leftover blood of the black dog was still in the jar in the backyard.Bai Liuli drew the spell for several hours, but Gu Zhi's watch was already in the middle of the night.The few people fell asleep under the morning light, and when they woke up, Bai Liuli had already fallen asleep lying on a pile of charms.

At three or four o'clock in the afternoon, Bai Liuli drew more than a hundred talismans, and Yue Qiluo and Wuxin also went to help.Taking a brush, Bai Liuli drew a large magic circle in the backyard, placed candles densely and pasted all the charms on it.Then he tore his coat to pieces, and the cloth strips were soaked in the remaining black dog blood to connect the candles one by one.He sat in the center of the magic circle by himself, chanting words in his mouth, he was chanting a mantra.His two long eyebrows were tightly furrowed, and he was shivering in the cold wind, but a thin layer of crystal clear sweat formed on his forehead.

After a long day of work, it was late at night.Yue Qiluo had already slept in the back room, yawned inadvertently, and went to bed too.I didn't know how many hours of sleep this was, and when I opened my eyes again, a ray of sunlight suddenly came in through the crack of the bed.Startled, he jumped up and went to open the window.Seeing the bright sky outside the window, it looked like a little bit, and exclaimed in surprise: "It works!"

The time in the ghost town was disturbed and began to flow. It was originally six or seven o'clock, but now it slowly moved to six o'clock.Bai Liuli chanted the mantra all night, and was so sleepy that she couldn't sit still, and was dragged back to the house to sleep by Wu Xinsheng.Now that he has found a way, and he doesn't have to worry about eating and drinking here, Bai Liuli might recite the incantation for a few more days, and the gap might really be opened.So don't rush for a while, Bai Liuli now has a half-human, half-demon body, unlike the free wandering souls before, who have been freezing in the cold wind without eating or sleeping, and if the body breaks out, no one can get out.

On the third day, the weather has been extended to two noon, which is the hottest time of the day.Gu Zhi used the ingredients in the kitchen to stew a cup of yam pork ribs soup, and served it to Yue Qiluo.The soup had just come out of the pot, and it was steaming hot. Yue Qiluo blew the soup in the spoon with her sharp mouth, and her fingers turned into a small orchid unconsciously.

Gu Zhi sat down in front of her, frowning slightly, as if something was on his mind.Yue Qiluo saw the hope of being able to go out, her mood was better than before, and there was a smile on her face.She looked at Gu Zhi acting strangely, and asked him, "What's wrong with you?"

Gu Zhi came back to his senses and shook his head: "It's nothing."

Yue Qiluo turned her head and scooped up a spoonful of soup to feed him.Gu Zhi smiled, didn't drink the soup, and stretched out his hand to hold her cold fingertips. "Qi Luo, I remember you said that life is the same everywhere."

"I said it," Gu Zhi didn't appreciate it, so she withdrew her hand and drank it in one gulp. "But this place is too boring, and it's always winter. I don't like winter. I want to go out and live."

Gu Zhi's brows furrowed even tighter, and there was an inexplicable emotion in his eyes: "In the outside world, people will grow old and die."

"Then what happened?"

Gu Zhi smiled shyly, Yue Qiluo was sitting with her backlight in front of her, and the afternoon sun coated her with a layer of gold, like a small god and Buddha.There is no concept of death in her world, so she doesn't care about anything.To die or not to die is just a question of whether to change skins or not.But for him, it was the end of his life.

"It's nothing." Gu Zhi stood up from the bench, staring at the tear in her coat, "I'll go shopping in the town, maybe there is a tailor shop open, and I can find a new dress for you to wear."

Bai Liuli's spells became more and more proficient, and time passed faster and faster.Within two days, the sky in Wen County was already dark.Lights were naturally lit on both sides of the street outside the door. Wu Xin leaned against the threshold and looked at the dotted lights, remembering that these lights were lit by invisible ghosts.

With the sound of footsteps coming from behind, he turned his head and saw that it was Gu Zhi walking over.Wuxin smiled and said: "Aren't you going to accompany Yue Qiluo?"

"She's asleep." At this time, it was twelve o'clock in the middle of the night on the watch, and Bai Liuli had just finished reciting the spell, had a random meal, and went to sleep.Wuxin pulled out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, which he had brought in from outside the ghost town, and he had been reluctant to smoke. At this moment, he lit one with a match, took a deep breath, and exhaled a puff of gray-blue smoke contentedly.

"Do you want it?" Wuxin gave him one generously.

Gu Zhi didn't refuse, took it and put it in his mouth, unintentionally lit a match and lit it for him.He just took a puff, and the acrid smoke made him cough, and he said with a smile, "So you don't know how to smoke."

Gu Zhi smiled wryly and said: "The family is strictly controlled." Then he smoked cautiously in small sips, and the winter night in Wen County dripped into ice.The person exhaled a mouthful of smoke, but it was not known whether it was a breath or a cigarette. After exhaling for a long time, there was still white air lingering in front of his eyes.Gu Zhi stared at the hazy white mist, and fell into deep thought.

"Eternal life, what does it feel like?"

Wuxin was stunned with a cigarette in her mouth, and turned her head to look at Gu Zhi, not knowing why he said this: "Eternal life? You can't die even if you die, and you can't live well. In the end, you get tired of living and don't want to live anymore. But you still can't die , I can only suffer with my eyes open. It’s not a good feeling.”

Gu Zhi lowered his head and smiled wryly, "It's hard for a person to live forever."

Wuxin smiled and said: "Is it better for two people? Let alone how it tastes, it is impossible to find someone who has lived a long time to accompany you. I have searched for thousands of years but have not found one. Look away, live in the moment, and enjoy yourself in time. Yue Qiluo hasn't looked away yet. Decades ago, when she first met me, she insisted on asking me to live with her, and there was a lot of trouble. You will also Advise her not to be obsessed with these things."

Wu Xin spoke without restraint, and only after she had said all the words did she realize her slip of the tongue, and hurriedly looked at Gu Zhi's face.However, Gu Zhi didn't seem to hear anything, he was still staring at the void in front of him in a daze.The cigarette in his hand burned to silvery white ash, burning to the cigarette butt.It was only this time that he was so hot that he came back to his senses, threw the cigarette on the ground and stomped it out.Turning his head to look at Wuxin, his lips curled into a twisted wry smile.

"Maybe living here forever is a good life that the outside world can't ask for."

it's here?Wu Xin shuddered, looking at the gray sky and the strange lights.He didn't want to live life after life in the cold winter without anyone, guarding this crescent-like house all day long.What's more, Su Tao was still waiting for him outside. She was only 15 years old and she was soft-spoken. He was afraid that she would be bullied again.He has to get out.

Gu Zhi had already gone back to sleep, and Bai Liuli was snoring rarely in another room.When Wu Xin returned to the house, he glanced at the backyard through the window paper, the candle light of the magic circle was like a bright lamp, warming his heart.It made him sleepy with peace of mind. After so many days in the ghost town, he finally caught a glimpse of the way to leave.

Yue Qiluo was woken up by the sound of burning, and at the same time, a burning smell entered her nose.She sat up from the bed, and the window paper reflected the fire light all over the sky. It was the backyard that caught fire.

She touched her side and found a cold blanket, but Gu Zhi was not there.She put on her clothes and staggered out of bed, and pushed the door open with a bang.The backyard was already ablaze, and the magic circle, candles, and charms were all burned into a ball.Standing in the firelight was a figure, holding a torch in his hand, like Shura walking out of hell.

The more she looked at the figure, the more familiar it became, and after walking a few steps, she gasped.

It's Gu Zhi.

But he is not Gu Zhi anymore, the cruel yet warm smile on his lips is unfamiliar but familiar.It belongs to him, but it doesn't belong to him.Cruelty belongs to Zhang Xianzong, and warmth belongs to Gu Zhi.He was trying to show his favor to Yue Qiluo, but the charcoal-black smudges on his cheeks set off the fire behind him, adding a terrifying aura to him.

"Gu Zhi..." Her voice no longer seemed to be her own, as if someone had strangled her neck, "You're crazy."

"Actually, the life here is also very good." Gu Zhi lowered his eyes, and his two wet brows furrowed, "Only here, I can live like you for life after life."

Yue Qiluo was speechless, she didn't know Gu Zhi anymore.

"Qi Luo." Gu Zhi walked towards her with a torch, and the night wind blew the corner of his clothes.

Wuxin and Bai Liuli's footsteps came from behind, they froze at the door, and no one came up.The magic circle was destroyed, and no one would have thought that it would be destroyed by Gu Zhi.He has really become a ghost at this moment, and he is Zhang Xianzong, the walking corpse of Wen County.As he walked, he brought the breath of death to his face.

"Qiluo," he threw away the torch, and smiled with his back to the fire, "we'll live here forever, okay?"
