Withered vine of the end of the world rebirth

It was almost noon at this time, but the surroundings still only heard the sound of wind and snow.

This snow mountain is quiet, as if it is really just an ordinary snow mountain.

No illusions, no formations.

This is just a normal... journey that can no longer be normal.

"You said that if I directly destroy this tree with brute force, can we go out immediately?" Chu Mo stood in front of the luxuriant tree, looked back at Mu Hanyuan and asked with a smile.

The relaxed and happy expression seemed to indicate that he was just talking, but Mu Hanyuan looked at the arc of Chu Mo's lips and knew——

He is serious.

"...It shouldn't be that simple." Mu Hanyuan was silent for a moment, and had no choice but to answer like this.

But this is also true.

Since the caster dared to expose the eyes of the formation to them, at least they must have taken certain protective measures.

Before letting them go through the plot they want them to go, they must not be able to break through this easily.

"Hey..." Chu Mo stepped forward, reaching out to caress the rough bark of the tree.

The snow-capped mountains are icy cold, but the trees still seem to have a warm temperature unique to trees, and also have a bit of the usual rough feeling.

——Of course Chu Mo couldn't feel such a specific and vivid sense of touch.

But come to think of it...it must be like this.

after all……

"I really don't understand why they have to make all this so real." Chu Mo pressed his finger on the dry bark twice, "It's useless at all, isn't it?"

"Perhaps it's because the usefulness they care about is different from what we thought." Mu Hanyuan glanced at Chu Mo and said suddenly.

Chu Mo was taken aback for a moment, then turned to look at Mu Hanyuan.

But he saw that the other party also lifted his legs and walked away, like him, stretched out his hand to touch the tree.

"Since this is the case, then they should have something they want us to know. Let's take a look."

Generally, illusions will appear extremely real—as far as the scene is concerned, it can give people the illusion that they are still in real life. It even has a plot and a cause and effect, just to allow you to substitute yourself into it: and the following Whether the illusion is real or completely false, it is not immediately obvious that it is out of place.

It's a trapped formation, but it's a complete and blatantly false layout from beginning to end--the moment you step into that formation, you know that you are trapped in a formation; a trapped formation There is no plot, no characters, no scenery, it can have nothing, so you can't find the way out at all.

Regardless of whether it is an illusion or a dilemma, their purpose is the same - that is to trap people so that they cannot easily leave.

It's just that they pass in different ways.

Illusions make people unable to tell the truth from the false through the illusions, and gradually become addicted to it; while the trap is simple and rough, through the messy direction and so on, people are directly trapped in the formation, unable to leave.

The former is that the trapped person does not want to leave, but the latter is unable to leave.

So the former needs truth, but the latter does not.

But this snow-capped mountain scene was not quite right from the very beginning: although it is real in the scene, it is so fake that it cannot be obvious in other places.

You can tell it's fake at first glance.

The dynasties, costumes here, and even those characters who have appeared but they have never met, all clearly told them that this place is just a formation, not real.

——To some extent, this place is more similar to a "dilemma" than a "illusion".

No vision is falsely so obvious, and more so--

The protagonists in this formation have never been clearly them.

But if it is difficult, then why add these characters?

But it's useless to think about it now—

No matter why, as long as you see it with your own eyes, you will know.

Mu Hanyuan put his hand next to Chu Mo's hand stroking the bark.

In this illusion, the most obvious difference is the trees that are still lush in the middle of the snow-capped mountains.

Since the caster wanted to tell them something through this illusion, all they had to do was just give them a channel.

——What do you want to say?We listened to it.

Perhaps the meaning of the existence of this tree has never been an eye, but just a channel of communication.

But if this is the case, then what is the real way to break the formation?

Although Mu Hanyuan's palm touched the bark, a whirlwind suddenly appeared around him.

The wind of no reason moved Bai Xue, who was only slightly fluttering in front of the two of them, even more quickly.

There is only a vast expanse of whiteness in front of my eyes.

But gradually, as the wind and snow gradually thickened, something gradually appeared in this vast snow scene.

----------------------------------------

Slowly emerging from the snow scene is a cold pool.

Very clear, but also very deep cold pool.

This can be seen from the water lily growing in the lake.

——Lakes and pools with lotus flowers, no matter how clear and shallow the water looks, are actually extremely deep in essence.

If it does not have a certain depth, it will not be able to bear the sludge stagnation and root system under the lotus water.

The cold pool is clear, but also too cold.

It was clearly a place with plenty of water, but not many plants grew there.

Everything looks very cold, but also very clear.

If Chu Mo and the others could enter the center of Miaohe before being dragged into this illusion, they would find that this cold pool was exactly the same as the one there.

In fact, this is the cold pool.

Although--it is not located in the small village in the south of the Yangtze River at this time, and...in the vast snow-capped mountains.

It's a pity that Chu Mo and the others have never entered the center of Miaohe, and they have never seen the cold pool there, so naturally they cannot find the connection.

However, this did not affect their speculation.

In fact, they were still standing by the tree in the snow-capped mountain at this time, and these scenes were actually controlled and displayed in front of their eyes.

It's like playing a movie.

Through thick fog.

In fact, they can still communicate with each other at this time, but the two of them have a tacit understanding and neither of them opened their mouths to speak.

Just quietly watching the transformation of the scene in front of me.

The pool was probably a little bit colder, and the only creatures around besides the water lily in the pool were the little jasmine plant on the bank not far from the water lily.

It is also a white flower, as pure and white as the water lily.

Obviously water lily and jasmine are two plants that don't have much in common, but because of this color, it makes people feel that they are very similar.

And other than that, there's nothing here.

It is clearly a water pool, but there are not even any animals that come to the shore to drink.

It's really deserted.

The two plants also looked a bit boring, shaking their delicate/tender leaves in the wind, as if they were communicating with each other, and seemed to be complaining to each other.

I don't know if I heard the voice of these two little plants, and finally one day, a person came to the shore where no one had visited for many years.

It was a person who looked extremely young, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, imposing manner, and there was still a childish look between his brows.

It was Hu Bugui whom Chu Mo and the others had seen in the illusion at the beginning.

It's just that Hu Bugui who appeared by the pool at this time was younger than the one they had seen back then.

But not many.

At this time, Hu Bugui was obviously a bit of a bullhead. Seeing that there were no creatures beside the cold pool, he knew that it was not only strange, but also extremely cold, but he didn't seem to feel it at all.

The stupefied boy was surprised at Hantan first, and then he was even more surprised when he saw the two plants that Ling Han had bloomed. It looked like he could only circle around three times.

But don't blame him, such a cold weather, such a cold place, not to mention water lilies and jasmine, even plum blossoms known as "Ling Han blooms alone", it is said that they cannot survive.

It is abnormal that there are still flowers blooming here, not to mention that these two plants are still blooming so well and beautifully.

I'm sorry for his appearance even if I'm not surprised.

Then he sat down facing the shore.

There was a trace of sadness in the young man's brows and eyes. He looked down at the wooden bracelet on his wrist, as if he murmured something softly, but then he sighed.

Since he had half his back to Chu Mo and the others, Chu Mo couldn't tell what he said through the shape of his lips, but thinking about it... he was just missing that one person.

At this time, Hu Bugui was obviously still looking like he had just joined the army, and he didn't know if he was eighteen years old, and he was still very young; It is perfectly normal for such a person to secretly find a place to miss his wife who is still far away.

The cold pool was clean, so Hu Bugui sat quietly until dark.

From time to time, he reached out and stroked the bracelet on his wrist.

Thinking about it, the war is not tight at this time.

Hu Bugui didn't leave until sunset.

But those two plants had been very quiet that day, standing there obediently, as if they were looking at the human being who had finally appeared.

The cold pool was clean, but finally there was a glimmer of vitality.

Everything around it seemed to come alive.

From that day on, Hu Bugui often came here.

Sometimes they come more frequently, and sometimes they only come once a month because of the tight war.

And every time he didn't come for a long time, the two plants would appear extremely restless, their branches and leaves would sway, and even the calm lake surface would be stirred up by them.

Every time Hu didn't come back, they seemed extremely quiet.

——It really seems that they are just two ordinary plants.

It's just that the place where it grows is a little special.

Other than that, it's all pretty normal.

Chu Mo guessed that they might be listening—listening to Hu Bugui's speech.

Listening to him talking to himself there alone about his miss for his wife.

Thoughts day after day, year after year.

The two plants were gradually stained with traces of love.

There was one time when Hu Bugui didn't show up for several years.

Those two plants became very irritable.

Chu Mo saw that even the soil at the bottom of the lake and on the shore loosened slightly once.

It was as if they couldn't wait to find him in person.

——How deep is the obsession represented by the sudden appearance of fun under long-term loneliness?

later--

Later, Hu Bugui came back again, and he maintained the previous state of appearing from time to time again.

But it is much more mature and stable than before.

The two plants finally calmed down, and they were no longer so irritable; occasionally, when Hu Bugui didn't appear for a month, they stopped making the lake surface turbulent.

Chu Mo thought, it was probably because their obsession finally settled down.

It's not that I don't want to, but I can already enjoy the long wait for your next appearance.

And later on... Hu Bugui never appeared again.

One month, two months, one year, two years...ten years, 20 years...even longer.

The man who once talked to himself on the shore never appeared again.

The cold pool that was once cold and silent finally became silent again.

This middle section seems to be just an episode.

After that, it was another year of star shifting.

I don't know how many years have passed, but the cold pool that has been silent all year round has finally changed again.

The two plants that have been cultivated for thousands of years finally opened their spiritual wisdom.

They moved their branches and leaves, as if they were trying to transform themselves into human beings.

——Of course they can't do it at this time.

But as the number of attempts increased, at last one time, above the two plants, two human-shaped phantoms appeared in vain.

That was their unsuccessful but nascent avatar.

Perhaps because they live together, the images they transformed are very similar.

——They are all dressed in white dresses, with long hair like clouds.

That looks like...

"This is……!!!"

Looking at the gradually formed eyebrows, Chu Mo and Mu Hanyuan finally showed a little bit of surprise, and couldn't help but speak.

They looked at each other, and they both saw the meaning of understanding in each other's eyes.

——Human lovesickness is useless, but melancholy is madness.

--------------------------------------

It's the time of spring again.

The wind rolls all over the sky and the snow falls all over the sky, only the sky in the distance shows a trace of warmth in the Qingming.

This is really a bit like spring in an ordinary place.

"The recent war is tight, and the supply of food and grass is insufficient. Although this porridge is a bit thin, it is just out of the pot and it is hot. Benefactors, eat two more bites, and it is good to drive away the cold." She was flushed from pain, but her smile was still hearty, the same as when they met before, only more mature.

In your twenties, this is a stage where your appearance changes drastically.

"Don't bother, we're not cold." Chu Mo smiled and took the bowl from Hu Bugui's hand, and handed one of the bowls to Mu Hanyuan.

Insufficient food and grass is common during wars, not to mention that here is the Tianshan Mountains, which are covered with snow all year round. When encountering heavy snowstorms, not to mention the vehicles transporting food and grass, even if they are lightly loaded, they cannot easily enter.

When they met, Hu Bugui said that it was four years after their meeting.

It is not easy for a war to last for four years, let alone in this kind of place.

"Don't worry about us, we've been here for a while, we can take care of ourselves, you go to rest, you'll have a hard day tomorrow." Chu Mo said, but only looked down at the bowls and chopsticks in his hand.

I don't know how many people left this ration for them.

Human beings... are always too gentle at certain times.

"Ah, that's right. I don't know if we will find the enemy army tomorrow. I should rest early. Then I'll go to bed now, and my benefactors should go to bed early after eating. After all, it's windy at night." Hu Bu Gui said, smiled honestly, and finally left rubbing his hands.

The surroundings became quiet again.

"Go to sleep." Chu Mo glanced at Mu Hanyuan beside him, "There may be something real tomorrow, so it's better to have a good rest."

This time was different from usual.

--They've been here for five full days.

Although it is not very long compared with Hu Bugui and other people who have been trapped in the past few years, it is still very different from their previous ones.

From the previous day, one scene changed to this progress plot that lasted for several days.

Maybe it's because... the plot this time is really important?

Chu Mo squinted his eyes, but pulled Mu Hanyuan to close his clothes and lie down.

The wind is tight today, maybe tomorrow... Maybe they will find anything.
