Chapter 32
Zhou Lian watched him approaching him helplessly, and when the two passed by, he moved his fingers.But that's all.
Xuanying's sword intent was completely different from Zhu Ming's. In this short period of time, the cold sword energy had already entered from his damaged heart and almost flowed into his whole body. His limbs were frozen, and he couldn't move.
So he could only watch Shen Wu getting further and further away from him in vain.
Zhou Lian's eyes were red, and he tried his best but said in a voice like a gnat: "Shen Wu!"
Shen Wu.
Ah Wu.
stop!
Don't, don't go.
Shen Wu didn't hear it, or he heard it but ignored it completely, and walked away indifferently.
Unprecedented frustration and unwillingness came to my heart, but my consciousness gradually sank into the barren ice field, unable to move or speak, only my fingers trembling slightly.
Why can't he stay alone.
The chill gradually enveloped his whole body, Zhou Lian thought to himself, so it turned out that Shen Wu lived this kind of life a few days ago.
Thinking again, the Xuanying sword with the cold winter as its sword intent seems to be not as cold as a young man like him.
He finally couldn't hold it anymore and passed out.
Zhu Ming was beside him, buzzing softly.
Two crystal-clear mirrors stand next to each other, refracting bright and clean light.
The city that no one visited for a long time fell into silence again.
Not long after, from the shadows around, gradually invisible things crawled out, approached the unconscious young man, and stretched out their "hands".
The mirror that only played a role when Zhou Lian was smug all the way suddenly burst out with dazzling white light, extremely brilliant and holy, faintly purifying and suppressing.
After a while, the surroundings returned to calm.
After a long time, the door of a house next to the pomegranate tree was gently pushed open from the inside.
A young man in a snow-white Taoist robe came out slowly, the cloud patterns embroidered with silver silk threads on the wide sleeves of the clothes gleamed faintly.
He walked up to the unconscious young man, looked down at his bluish and stiff face, sighed softly, gathered a gentle aura in his palm, and injected it into the young man's body.
The Taoist in snow clothes stepped on the starlight and walked away.
At the same time, Qu Ming was thousands of miles away.
A cute Taoist boy named Yuxue knocked on Changwuzi's door holding a box.
Inside is a flower in full bloom, the flower is no more than the size of a palm, like a fire that is about to be extinguished, burning quietly in the box.
Shen Wu confirmed that he was already some distance away from Zhou Lian, and it was impossible for him to be overtaken, so he slowly relaxed his body, and his footsteps, which had been pretending to be steady and powerful, suddenly returned to vain.
He folded his arms and rubbed them together, which brought a short-lived almost illusional warmth. He stared at the sky in a daze, then staggered towards the west again.
His ability to find the way is really not good, but fortunately this is his territory, and he has lost his way more than once on every side road, so he is very experienced, at least he can guarantee that he will not be trapped.
It doesn't matter if those roads are covered with weeds.
To the west, there is a river.
Shen Wu has never been there, but as a native of Chendu, he has heard the name of that river more than once, and knows that it is the mother river of their Chendu people, and it is on the west side, so, just go straight to the west Enough.
He has been completely attacked by the cold, and he doesn't even feel cold at first, but he feels much better than before.It's just that the action is inevitably affected by this, and it has become much slower.Occasionally, you have to stop and rest for a while before you can continue to control your legs to move forward.
He could feel himself turning into a walking dead.
Curse, what a powerful thing.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, the gentle and bright starlight disappeared in front of his eyes, and his vision dimmed. At first, Shen Wu thought he was going to be blind, but after a long time, he realized, oh, he has walked out of that secret realm.
His numb ears finally caught the faint sound of water belatedly, Shen Wu slightly heaved a sigh of relief, and then, his eyes darkened, and he fell down facing the loess.
Shen Wu woke up with a burst of shaking.
Wave after wave of water gently slapping the wooden boards sounded from far to near, forcibly dragging him out of the boundless night.
He was a little unwilling to wake up, his heart lake was deadly silent, he closed his eyes and thought indifferently, what to do when he wakes up, anyway, he is useless to everyone in this world.
But soon, his silent heart lake was rippled by... quack-quack ducks.
Hell, where's the duck!
Shen Wu reluctantly opened his eyes, and saw a low roof under the dim light of the sky, the increasingly clear shaking and the sound of water told him that he was on a boat.
... I don't know which thief brought him aboard.
Shen Wu clicked his tongue, got up staggeringly, bent over and got out of the canopy, squinted his eyes to adapt to the light outside, and as far as he could see was still the gray sky of Chendu, he turned his eyes to the bow of the boat again Sitting "thief".
The man was wearing a bamboo hat and a coir raincoat, his back was facing Shen Wu, and his back looked a little stooped.Shen Wu hesitated for a moment, then said: "This old man..."
"Old man" turned his head to look at him in response, revealing a face that was visibly weather-beaten but still very young.
Shen Wu suddenly got stuck.
... The scene was a little awkward for a while.
Fortunately, the "old man" was generous and didn't care about him. He smiled gently and said, "Are you awake? Come and sit down."
"Hey." Shen Wu looked at him secretly again, but didn't find anything wrong for the time being, so he walked over with a smile, and the man moved to the side to make room for Shen Wu.
Shen Wu sat down carefully.
He was originally a well-proportioned young man, after these few days of tossing, he has lost a little bit, which is really not "fat".The boatman looked very thin, but no matter how thin he was, she was not a girl as light as a flower bone, but two old men.Therefore, as soon as he sat down, the bow of the boat was overwhelmed and dumped into the river.
The ducks next to them were also startled by the movement, flapped their wings and fluttered, and showed Shen Wu the grand occasion of thousands of ducks singing together.
....... deaf ears.
The master did not rush, and tapped lightly on the side of the boat, and the bow of the boat, which was about to completely submerge in the water, was lifted up slowly by a force, avoiding the humiliation of capsizing.
Shen Wu, who had a panoramic view of this scene, tensed his body slightly, he was actually a monk?He doesn't know the situation in the cultivation world, but why are there so many monks in the ordinary world?
And he didn't notice it.
The man didn't seem to see the defense in his eyes, he raised his pole and yelled for a while, the ducks seemed to be very close to him, they gradually stopped fluttering and gathered together, slowly, even the croaking sound disappeared.
The two were on the boat, and the ducks were in the water, moving forward quietly.
As far as the eye can see, there is only the water surface filled with heavy mist and the winding hills on the bank, and there is only a slight sound of water in the ears for a while.
After sitting like this for a while, all kinds of emotions that had been temporarily dormant due to drowsiness and strangers came back again, pressing down on Shen Wu's heart layer by layer, and in his mind was the old capital that was in ruins for a while, and Zhou again for a while. Eyes filled with grievance, anger and worry.
He couldn't help curling up his body, trying to relieve the dull pain spreading from his heart, but it was useless.
In the future, what will happen in the future?
Looking at his blurred and distorted reflection on the water, he asked in his heart.After asking, he thought it was ridiculous, with his current body that was approaching death every day, how could there be any future.
The way of origin has been lost, and there is nowhere to go.
The duck driver suddenly said, "Is your health better?"
Shen Wu didn't have any desire to talk to people right now, or he didn't have any desire at the moment, but after a while, he still replied: "It's much better, thank you."
In fact, it will not be good at all.
He didn't even know the name of this curse, and he was as confused as Zhou Lian when various inexplicable symptoms appeared at first.
It wasn't until he entered the secret realm, or in other words, arrived at Chendu, that the curse that had been dormant in his body for a long time broke out, and he discovered something not so good in the extreme cold and heat—he couldn't control himself. body.
It was clear that he had just sparred with Zhou Lian a moment ago, but in the next moment he had to expend a lot of energy to barely keep up with Zhou Lian's footsteps.
But obviously it shouldn't be like this.
Although Zhou Lian's swordsmanship is better than him due to year after year of immersion, but in other respects, Shen Wu is actually better than him.
For example, body skills.
Then he saw what Chendu looked like now.
Only ten years have passed.
Even if the two countries go to war, even if the city is slaughtered, it will not cause a city to completely lose its name within ten years and be completely buried in wild grass and bushes.
The "mirror of the starry sky" is not something that should appear in the mortal world.
He remembered that when he was nine years old, he accidentally turned over a worn-out piece of paper in the study alone. It seemed to be torn from some book in a hurry. , evil thoughts abound, in the eyes of Shen Wu, who has always received the most orthodox education, it is more like someone's raving when venting his grievances.
It must be known that the body and soul are one body, the soul is Yin, and the body is Yang.How could there be a way to extract the human soul from the body unscathed?
Until these symptoms came true in him one by one.
He finally understood what those gentle and bright spots of light were, they were human souls.
In the next few days, he will watch his spirit withdraw little by little, while his body slowly fills with curses, and then pass them on to those close to him.
The duck driver remained silent for a while, as if asking this question was just to confirm that he was still alive.After a long time, he said again: "Catching spirits can be solved."
Shen Wu woke up suddenly, stared at him motionlessly, and said, "Who are you?"
The duck driver stood still, staring at the water calmly for a long time, then said slowly, "As long as there is time."
Shen Wu's body swayed, and he lowered his eyes slowly.Where does he have time?
Maybe tomorrow, maybe the day after tomorrow, he will die in an unknown corner, his soul will leave his body, drift with the wind, and then dissipate in the wind.
At this time yesterday, or the day before yesterday, he didn't know anything, and he was still expecting everything that might be.
Life is exhausted and fixed, floating like a turning canopy.
