son sick

"Three years in 170..."

Lian Meng felt his throat tighten.

Although he really thought that all this time would not be too short, but he and Qi Nian had known each other for less than three months.Even if all this really went back and forth several times, it would not last more than ten years from the beginning to the end.

Has it really been more than 170 years?

"The days in the apricot forest have not been repeated since the accident. Therefore, Mo He, who was in his twenties at the time, has grown into a centenarian, and more than seventy years have passed here. And in A hundred years had already passed before the change in the apricot forest took place."

"But..." Lian Meng still felt his throat sore.

Seeing his panicked face, Wen Di didn't rush to elaborate, but explained softly: "The year Mr. Qi left, my grand master was still a junior disciple who was less than fifteen years old. He obeyed the elder's order and waited here. I haven’t seen Qi Nian come back for decades. So when he was dying, he told my master to wait here. However, even his old man couldn’t wait, so it was my turn.”

Lian Mengqing took a breath, and suddenly said with some self-mockery: "If there was no accident that happened in the apricot forest, this story might have to be repeated for millions of years."

Wen Di sighed, and a rather lonely look appeared on his face.

As soon as Lian Meng raised his eyes, he suddenly thought: "You just said that the person at the door..."

"Well, he really is your junior brother."

"Qingren, he..."

"After you left, he worried day and night, and would come here every few months to inquire about your situation, but every time he would always come back sadly. Later, he was old and he was dying. So he let My great master preserved his body intact. He said that he hoped that you would see him still waiting for you when you came back. So, when the door finally opened, I put him in front of the door Next to the flower stand. Then you can see it when you come in."

"..." Lian Meng felt his throat tighten again.

"Although it sounds sad, he finally waited for you, although he was not in the state of a living person. But that close friend of Mr. Qi did not even wait for such a reunion. After Qi Nian left that year, in order to be able to Unraveling the strangeness in that door, so I studied it day and night, but in the end, my hair became gray all night, and I died of exhaustion."

"..."

The hut suddenly became empty and silent again.

Lian Meng took a barely audible breath. He wanted to say something, but his throat was so sore that he couldn't speak.

"Actually, it's only been about a year since this door was opened. Although there has been a change in the apricot wood forest, it is the death of Dumb Seven that really brings everything close to collapse."

He glanced at Shi Xin while he was talking, and the monk glanced back at him, then put down the rosary in his hand, and said softly: "Before I came here, I saw that man. He was filthy all over at the time, and I didn't see it clearly." His appearance, I just felt that the rosary on his arm was familiar, so I went up to ask a few words."

"Won't he be afraid when he sees you?" Lian Meng asked.

"At first, he was a little apprehensive, but at that time his heart was ashamed, and everything he saw was evil thoughts generated by karma in his heart, so he didn't feel afraid anymore."

"..." Lian Meng thought of the man's expression, and indeed saw the appearance of madness.

"Actually, I didn't quite understand what he said at the time. He repeatedly asked me to protect Master well. I felt strange, so I had to tell him that my teacher had died of a serious illness before I left the mountain this time. "

"Passed away..." Lian Meng murmured.

It appears that this is again the "another story" mentioned earlier.

"After listening to me, he was in a trance. Seeing that he didn't speak anymore, I wanted to leave. But at this moment, he stopped me and asked me, if I were the monk in the story, what would I do? what choice."

"..." He suddenly thought of the previous story, and his heart trembled, "Then did you tell him?"

"No. I couldn't answer, so he walked away with a smile." Shi Xin continued, "I only felt weird at the time, but I didn't go into it. After that, I gradually understood all the causes and effects after I came here."

Lian Meng didn't speak, and at this moment Wen Di who was beside him suddenly responded leisurely: "Actually, the day he set fire to the town was also the day Dumb Seven died. He witnessed that reincarnation with his own eyes, so he went crazy .”

"But... the death of Dumb Seven happened five years ago, and you clearly said that the door was knocked on a year ago... and nothing strange happened around at that time, why did you get involved in it for no reason? The monk from Qianyue Town?"

"Because after that, the story repeated several times. And it was during that period that we slowly investigated all of this."

Wen Di poured another cup of tea, but this time the cup was not filled, and there was no more tea in the pot.

He put down the teapot, sighed, and continued: "Since then, this story has an 'end'. Because every time you come back, you and Qi Nian's body will be 'damaged'. For you, it is peach blossom Epilepsy is getting more and more frequent, but for Qi Nian, he is dying."

"dying?"

"Yeah." Wen Di nodded, "At this time, he can't hold on any longer."

"But..." Lian Meng remembered that when he and Qi Chu first met, the man looked really weak, but he didn't seem to be dying.

"The reason why you can see him is because of the big banquet at the Qifu earlier."

But this time the banquet was different from the previous ones.There are no more disputes about apostate disciples, and those who died in the mansion were all sacrifices to pray for the renewal of life.

Moreover, Qi Nian has sporadic memories after renewing his life. Although he does not know the whole truth, it is different from the previous few times.

However, this move aroused the suspicion of the elders of another faction in the sect, so they went to Lianyinmen overnight, but this time the entrustment given was not to find Qi Nian, but the "white jade peony flower pendant" that could determine the identity.

Wen Di guessed that they also had their own ideas about the "rebirth", so he sent his disciples to secretly monitor their whereabouts.

Afterwards, Lian Meng took Lian Qingren down the mountain. After he met Qi Nian at the Qi Mansion, the group set off for the Peony Pavilion.

"When you met Shou Nanshan that night, he only vaguely remembered your name and surname, but he couldn't remember many things clearly. However, he was right in saying some things. Boss Xiang did not die soon, but at that time There's nothing he can do."

"But then he..."

"That's the order of Qi Nian. He knows everything and hopes that we can help each other. That's why he came up with the life-changing method of the blue and purple worms. It's just that the method was first tested in recent years, and Shou Nanshan was already weak. It just passed away.”

"So, Qi Nian has had an encounter with you?"

"Yes, we have been following since that day. The Danrou girl you met was a disciple in disguise."

"Danrou..." Lian Meng recalled the day they left, he did not see her follow.

"The reason why they acted like this is because some of them noticed something wrong with Qi Nian."

"No?" Lian Meng suddenly raised his head.

"The disciple in charge of tracking found that he took a brocade that had never appeared before from the Peony Pavilion."

Even Meng Qian was confused: "What's wrong with the brocade?"

"Although the vermilion cloth is beautiful and the patterns are exquisite, it is... used as a shroud."

"Shouyi?" Lian Meng was startled.

"Yes. There is a record in the secret volume I taught, saying that if the dead wear cloth with complicated patterns as clothing, a mysterious insect can be attracted, and it can engrave a mark on the soul of the living, so that people will not forget the past. It seems to be Qi Nian has seen it before, so I want to give it a try."

"..." Lian Meng was shocked suddenly.

Wen Di glanced at him, and hurriedly said: "But this is only a guess after all. After the Peony Pavilion incident, we will go to the Xingshu Forest with you."

Lian Meng suddenly thought of what the Miao girl had said about the silver hairpin: "Aren't you the same as those who stole the hairpin?"

"That's natural. They are the other disciples who followed."

"I see."

Lian Meng nodded, and Wen Di continued talking.

"After we learned the truth from our uncle, we expected that Mo Heding would attack Qi Nian. Later, we found out that he had mixed the highly poisonous Wuyimu in the medicine for praying for new year. Although the substance was highly poisonous, it was lucky to get It will take a few days for the attack to occur. So we went to find the antidote during that time, but we were seen by your junior brother."

Lian Meng recalled that Lian Qingren had indeed mentioned that he saw that group of people looking for a strange blue flower and a red bird's wing feather. Could this be Wutiaomu's detoxification method?

"That's true. It's not an ordinary drug, but a unique interpretation technique I teach."

"You said Lian Qingren saw you, then what?"

"We didn't intend to find him, but who knows, he stopped us."

"Why would he..."

Wen Di suddenly raised her lips and smiled: "Do you still remember that you could always see visions of the past before? Have you ever thought that you are not the only one who can see the past."

"So he also..."

"En." Wen Di nodded, "We saw him asking, so we told him the truth. Then with his cooperation, we found all the necessities, which saved Mr. Qi's life. "

"But..." Lian Meng was still puzzled, "Why didn't he leave with us later and tell me the truth himself?"

"That's because he's running out of time."

Lian Meng didn't quite understand.

Wen Di took a deep breath and continued: "That person Mo He is very vicious. After all these years, those corpses can no longer be burned away. Your junior brother was worried about future troubles, so he entered the sea of ​​flames, They also chopped off their heads, but at that time the fire was getting fiercer, but he couldn't come out."

"What?" Lian Meng was shocked, "But he clearly sent me a letter earlier, and..."

"I asked other disciples to send that letter, and it was just following his dying wish."

"..." Lian Meng suddenly felt in a daze, he changed his mind and asked again, "That Lingyin..."

"The night he and the driver were branching off from you, he fell off a cliff. We wanted to help, but we couldn't."

"How come..." Lian Meng felt that his throat was a little dry, and he seemed unable to speak for a while.

Seeing his solemn expression, Wen Di continued by himself: "Later you came to Qianyue Town. The disciples of that faction finally decided to attack the two of you. They designed you to meet 'Shi Xin', and the other A group of people rushed to that hut... but none of them survived."

"Is it praying for the new year?"

"Well. Then we sent another group of people with a signal, and they were dealt with together."

When he was talking about this, Wen Di's expression moved slightly, he breathed a sigh of relief, and then continued: "After dawn, we let out the news that we had ended the banquet at the Qifu Palace, and then there would be some bloodshed to clear up the apostasy. After the incident, I originally thought that there should be some time to breathe, but I didn't expect..."

Having said that, he looked up at Lian Meng.

Lian Meng's face darkened, and he immediately understood what he had said.

"You should be able to guess the whole picture of what happened later. Because of Qi Nian's special physique, we will leave a letter asking you to bury him as soon as possible. If there are any changes in the future, it will be even more unpredictable."

Lian Meng nodded: "I understand. But what do you mean by 'waiting for a long time' you said earlier?"

"..." Wen Di paused for a while, and then said again, "The elders of the church think that since Qi Nian is dead, this place must not stay here anymore. So he asked me to burn this hut as soon as possible after this matter is over. Act like nothing happened."

"Nothing happened?" Lian Meng repeated.

"Yeah." The man nodded, "But I also know that it's not easy. People's memory can be forgotten as soon as they say it. So..." He glanced at Lian Meng, and then from his sleeve He took out a small dark green bottle.

"This is?" Lian Meng was a little puzzled, raised his head, and looked at him suspiciously.

"You can rest assured that this is definitely not poison. It's just that before I left the sect, I brought out a strange medicine from the sect in my own selfishness. I think it might help you."

"Help me..." Lian Meng looked at the dark green bottle and murmured.

The man's words have come to this point, and the meaning is not very clear.

But even so, Lian Meng never reached out to pick it up.

He stood still for a moment, then suddenly raised his head to look at Wen Di, and asked softly, "You said just now that you have refined Gu worms that can kill people, is it true?"
