The Prequel of Baolian Lantern Konghouyin

In the boundless reeds, the charcoal gray mist is like a ball of dirty and sticky cotton, adhering to the branches and leaves of the reeds, and even the light reed flowers appear sluggish.Pedestrians walk in this vast swamp without knowing the direction, and there is only one shadow to look at, and they are in a dilemma but do not know where to go.Although there is water here, it is infested by miasma and cannot be drunk. People can only endure the scorching of food and drink, dragging their dying bodies and reluctantly moving forward.In the depths of the dark grass, the sound of animals shuttling back and forth can be heard from time to time, but only pairs of green eyes can be seen, like a demon holding fire, making people shudder.

Yu Sinian carefully clenched the lantern in his hand, but when he saw the light, the black mist receded one after another, and he heard it coming from nowhere, and the water lizard whimpered softly, knowing in his heart that if there was no such light, he said to himself It might have been dragged away by that monster long ago.He was full of thoughts about Lu Shaoyin who was following behind him, afraid that she might not see the way clearly, but he resisted not daring to turn his head, and only tried to walk as slowly as possible so that she could keep up with his footsteps.But Yu Sinian couldn't see that the thick fog seemed to be urged by an invisible hand, and it suddenly closed behind him, tightly wrapping Lu Shaoyin's body, ravaging her body and tearing at her skirt.

Lu Shaoyin staggered a little.She lifted her skirt carefully, as if she hadn't walked so carefully for a long time.Shaoyin's eyesight was excellent, and he could see the white bones half covered by the mud in the weeds around him.She clenched the hem of the skirt tightly with her hands, and smiled in self-consciousness—since she had chosen this path, what other choice did she have besides walking down?It would be great if we could go out.If you can't get out, it's considered... Just as she was thinking, Shaoyin's left foot was suddenly caught by a grass stalk, and the right foot that had already stepped out was forced to change direction and stepped into the grass An inconspicuous little puddle.Her first thought was: "Oops, there is water!"

However, not only water, but also silt, inch by inch, climbed up Shaoyin's ankle.When she came to her senses, the black mud had covered her knees, like a slowly turning vortex, quietly swallowing Shaoyin into her mouth.She wanted to scream, but the moment she looked up, she saw Yu Sinian's back.The back is bathed in orange light, the warm and bright tone, just like the fragrance emitted from the smoked cages in the palace city of Luoyang many years ago, makes people miss the good times that cannot be regained.

"Okay, let's go here." She thought.The woman obediently put away the arm that was still supporting herself outside the quagmire, like an elegant fish swimming, she sank into the deep pool silently, and did not make any sound until she reached the bottom.

"Yang Jian!" Cun shouted impatiently, "Didn't you see it?" She pointed to the place where Lu Shaoyin disappeared in the mirror, and even her face turned pale.

Yang Jian lowered his head and said after a while: "This is her fate. From the moment she promised me, it has been irreversible."

"Should we just watch her fall into the mud plow forever?" Cun Xin's lips trembled, and she looked at the man in front of her in disbelief.

Yang Jian held Cun Xin's left arm and let go: "We can't save her. You can't, and I can't." He spoke very slowly, but with great weight, "You should have heard that the way of heaven is permanent, not for Yao. To survive, not to perish for Jie. All of this is preordained, and no one can shake it."

"But you changed the rules of the sky!"

"Do you think I changed the Tiantiao? Wrong." Yang Jian's eyes wandered far away, as if he could see the distant shore through the thick black fog, "The new Tiantiao is just displayed in front of the world with my hands. And you and I, and even everything in the world, are just pawns of the Dao of Heaven."

The way of heaven, what is the way of heaven?Cun Xin suddenly felt a biting cold.Yang Jian said just now that the way of heaven does not exist for Yao and does not perish for Jie, so is it the way of heaven that made Yaoji and Yang Tianyou overcome many obstacles to get together?Is it the way of heaven that cruelly dismantled Yang Jian's family and separated them from each other?Is it the way of heaven that carved the new sky into the colorful stones and buried it deep in Huashan Mountain?Is it also the way of heaven to tightly entangle the fate of oneself and Yang Jian, stab each other bloody, and then separate them?

In the mirror, Lu Shaoyin's arm left outside the mud slowly sank.Cun Xin suddenly remembered that Po Meng was still by her side just now, but now she has disappeared, leaving only a bronze mirror hanging in the air.When she was looking around, a dazzling white water suddenly appeared in the mirror behind her, and through the mirror, it turned into a silver streamer and rushed towards Cun Xin.The streamer circled around, tightly entangled Longnu's body, just like the black iron chains under Guanchouhai, tightening one by one, aching her skin.Cun Xin felt that she was back in the dark abyss of the West Sea, and the distant, not very real sound of waves could be heard around her.Just as she was confused, a gust of wind suddenly rushed towards her, and a water lizard attacked her with its bloody mouth open!

The dragon girl's heart was pounding, seeing that there was no way to avoid it, she didn't know what to do, suddenly a hand grabbed her ankle and dragged it down fiercely, the monster flew into the air, and it was as good as her. passing overhead.Only then did Cun Xin realize that she had walked through the mirror into the swamp without knowing when, and was still stuck in the quagmire.Yang Jian, who was still outside the mirror, took a step forward, but seemed to be blocked by an invisible barrier, unable to move forward at all, and fell sharply.Cun Xin panicked for a while, she wanted to struggle, but she couldn't move, she wanted to shout, but she couldn't make a sound no matter what.Just now, wasn't that how Lu Shaoyin sank silently?

Someone called her name by her ear, it was Yang Jian's voice, but it came from the depths of the quagmire under her feet - if Cun Xin was stuck in the quagmire, and Yang Jian was at the mirror, then who was under the quagmire?

The dragon girl was at a loss, she could only helplessly watch Yang Jian outside the mirror getting further and further away, and his figure slowly melted into the silver light.After an unknown amount of time, the mud that wrapped Cun Xin disappeared, and the surrounding space was replaced by thick white fog, and Cun Xin was held up in the air by the fog, only then did he remember to look down at the hand on his ankle.It was a big hand with well-articulated joints, with slender and strong fingers, but it was unexpectedly cold to the point of no warmth, and it held Cun Xin's ankle gently but firmly.There is a ring on the little finger of this hand, and a fiery red orb is inlaid on the ring, shining a soft brilliance in the unreliable illusion—flame orb!Cun Xin knew that Yang Jian got the ring from Peng Demon King, but she never saw Yang Jian wearing it.She wanted to look forward along the hand, but the elbow was submerged in the thick fog, and there was no one in sight.

No, why is Yang Jian here?He was still looking at himself anxiously in the mirror just now, so if the owner of this hand wasn't Yang Jian, who would it be?Seeing that the light was getting brighter ahead, the thumb of that hand reluctantly stroked Cun Xin's ankle, and with a sudden force, she was thrown far away. With all his strength, he fell to the ground, until his eyes went black.
