hell in disguise

Under the eternal and chaotic sky of Avici Hell, overlapping tall mountains are pushed up by the earth, just like the deep wrinkles on this scarred land.Heisuo Mountain is in this group of mountains. The mountain is like a shuttle, covered with poisonous weeds and strange trees.The stream flowing out of the mountain is dark green thick mucus, and there are some strange water animals living in it.Countless rare monsters inhabit the lush forest, and there are also many Xiangliu giant monsters that make ghosts frightened, entrenched in many caves, and sometimes make long and desolate howling sounds.

Gu Na hugged Yan Fei who was still asleep, stepped on the Zhan Ye sword, followed Xie Yucheng and landed slowly near a lake on the top of the mountain.The mountain is full of monster Xiangliu, but only the lakeside is very clean, without any poisonous insects and monsters.Even the water in that lake is not sticky and rotten dark green mucus, but real water similar to the world.Through the light green water surface, one can even see the slowly swinging clumps of Animus algae below.

I never knew that on the frightening Heisuo Mountain, there was such a side of water that was so clean that it didn't seem to belong to hell.

Is it because the barrier between this place and the human world is so fragile that the breath of the human world leaks in, and the landform here is different from other places?

Even the wind that blows from the lake doesn't smell like other places, and the smell of sulfur has faded a lot.The faint water vapor lingers in the lungs, and breathing becomes enjoyment.

"The way to the world is at the bottom of the lake." Xie Yucheng pointed to the center of the lake.

Qian Na nodded, and asked after a while, "After I take him away, what will you do with his ghost body?"

Xie Yucheng said, "The scent-seeking ghost has long since died, and the body is left at the bottom of the lake, so the fish and shrimp can eat it up."

Qian Na lowered her head, looking at the quiet face that belonged to Ganda.He smiled wryly, "You're telling the truth."

"I told you, I won't lie to you."

Although it was just a corpse, after all, he had such an intimate relationship with him... In his heart, he didn't know what it was like.

Without further words, he hugged Yan Fei and plunged into the water step by step.The cool temperature soothes the hellish temperature that is constantly burning the skin, gradually covering the calves, waist, and chest.

Behind him, Xie Yucheng quietly watched him walk away, and suddenly shouted, "Go early and come back early!"

Qian Na paused, took a breath, and suddenly stabbed down.

Water splashes everywhere.

In the turquoise water of the lake, he hugged Yan Fei tightly and kept sinking.The surrounding water plants stretched their slender arms, wrapping the bodies of the two of them tenderly.Here, all the noisy voices suddenly disappeared, and the world became so quiet, just like the silence floating with the waves in the sea of ​​blood when he was just born in hell.

The flickering light above the head became more and more faint, and the darkness gradually solidified and became heavy.Suddenly, a weeping soft light diffused from the endlessly spreading darkness under the feet, and at the same time, an aura completely different from hell, an endlessly warm aura also permeated.

The entrance to the world is near.

Qian Na recited a protective spell, and at the same time wrote a string of charms that were usually used to drive away evil spirits in the human world on the forehead of Yan Fei's ghost body.He didn't know if the spell that exorcised people would be effective if used on ghosts to drive people away, but if the principle is similar, it should be good.At this moment, Yan Fei was in a daze, and it should not be difficult to expel him from the ghost body.

After quickly finishing the method, Yan Fei's human body and ghost body were separated.Qian Na quickly grabbed his body, grabbed his head and rushed into the white light.

............................................................

Outside Xiangyang City, in Lumen Mountain, there is a secret deep house compound called Crane Garden.This was originally an onshore stronghold of the Penglai Medical Immortal School, and all medical immortals who come out to travel can settle here.The house is located in a valley shaded by thousands of strange trees and ancient trees. It is permeated with light mist all the year round. Occasionally, deer shadows can be seen, and cranes can be heard from time to time.Ordinary people would be dazzled by the invisible formation formed by the trees when they came near here, and they would not be able to enter it.Therefore, it is a very mysterious and quiet place.

When Xiangyang was in chaos, Yan Fei asked him for help, and he moved here with the "corpses" of Yan Fei and Tan Yangzi.The entire underground of the house was almost hollowed out, and it was full of all kinds of rare medicinal materials in the world, as well as a huge refining furnace and some strange-shaped devices.

Five days ago, he had just successfully transformed Yan Fei's body into a state of smoke and sent Yi to the underworld.Liu Yusheng woke up, pushed open the window, yawned and sat by the window combing his long hair, and at the same time grabbed the cakes made of dried grass leaves from the bamboo basket on the window sill and fed them to him, dangling in front of the window Two Fawns Eating.His clear eyes moved slightly, as if he was thinking about something casually.

But at this moment, his servant boy Tiandong ran over in a panic and said to him through the window, "Young master! That Taoist priest in green is alive!"

Liu Yusheng's expression changed slightly, "What about Mr. Yan?"

"Young Master Yan... you should go and have a look!"

Liu Yusheng hurriedly put on a coat, opened the door and went straight to the west building.He suddenly pushed open the door of the room where Tan Yangzi's body was kept, and saw the white-haired Taoist in Tsing Yi sitting beside the bed, his face was pale and his complexion was very bad.And the bed was filled with a human-shaped mist, ethereal and shapeless.

Hearing the noise, Tan Yangzi hurriedly turned his head to look at him, strode over immediately, grabbed Liu Yusheng's hand and pulled him to the bedside, completely losing the calmness he had seen before, walking While asking, "Doctor Liu, since you can change him into this way, surely you can also change him back to his original form?"

Liu Yusheng didn't say much, and followed him directly to the bedside.At a glance, his expression changed, "How did this happen? His body was also injured, and it was not serious."

Tan Yangzi said, "He was hit by Botan Mohua from the Heavenly Court. Since you know my identity, you should know what it is, right?"

Liu Yusheng glanced at him, eyes full of reproach, "Why don't you know how to protect him? He is a human being, much more fragile than you ghosts."

The pain gnawed at Tan Yangzi's heart little by little, and he didn't defend himself, "Can you save him?"

"... Yes, you go out first."

Tan Yangzi didn't want to leave at first, but seeing Liu Yusheng's resolute expression, he had no choice but to retreat outside the house.Liu Yusheng ordered Tiandong to fetch some things, and then closed the door with a bang.

Holding his Zhanye sword, Tan Yangzi stood straight on the porch, staring at the closed door, waiting quietly, coughing occasionally.His two souls of heaven and earth were exhausted, and he was weak and weak. If it wasn't for the pill Alido gave him, he didn't know if he could stay awake at this moment.

He just waited like this for two hours at a time.Tiandong approached cautiously, looked up at the solemn Taoist, "Sir, I'm afraid it will take a while, let's go eat something first. You have been 'comatose' for more than a month."

Tan Yangzi glanced at him and shook his head, "No need. Thank you."

"It's useless for you to stand here?" Tiandong looked at his bloodless lips with some worry. If he hadn't seen the Taoist's precarious appearance, he would not have summoned up the courage to follow He said, "Don't worry, our young master is the eldest disciple of the new Penglai island master, as long as there is something alive, he can't save it. Young master Yan will be fine."

Tan Yangzi lowered his head slightly, and said in a flat voice, "If he wakes up, he will probably want to see me."

Tiandong saw that it was useless to persuade her, so she had to do her own thing.

From dawn to dusk, Tan Yangzi stood motionless on the porch.Tsing Yi was wet with dew, evaporated by the sun, and soaked in the night mist again.The past with Ganda in hell lingered in his mind one by one.In fact, I have already noticed how similar the fragrance seeker and Yan Fei are, but I have always refused to think about that possibility, and instead I am still indulging in Yan Fei's charming smile.In fact, Yan Fei can't be blamed at all, he is obsessed with ghosts, and he is too greedy for those things that have passed away.

He recalled the bewildered night in Guhuo's Bird Cave, the two of them dancing close together in the palace, recalling Yan Fei's well-behaved appearance, jealous expression and finally the expression of despair in the underground palace.

"Master, do you want me to die?"

It would have been great if he had answered at that time, telling him not to die, Master does not want you to die.So don't do stupid things.

The endless regrets bit his heart like thousands of poisonous insects, and the pain spread in his blood.

At the end of the moon, Liu Yusheng finally opened the door.Seeing the Taoist waiting like a statue in the corridor, Liu Yusheng sighed and said, "He's fine, go and see him."

Tan Yangzi stood for a long time, his footsteps were a little stiff and numb, and he didn't listen to his commands.He held on to the pillar and took a few steps tentatively. After the strange tingling feeling passed, he rushed into the house with big strides.

Yan Fei on the bed has returned to his normal human appearance, and on that fair and clear face, the green face that has gradually faded has begun to take shape.He was wearing the pajamas he had just changed into, covered with a thick bedding, and he was still sleeping as calmly as when he was a child.Tan Yangzi sat on the edge of the bed, stretched out his trembling hands to gently stroke Yan Feiguangjie's forehead, and traced the corners of his slender eyes.The feeling of the tentacles is real, and it is no longer the illusory state like smoke before.

The big stone in my heart fell to the ground, but there was still a layer of sadness.

"Why isn't he awake yet?"

Liu Yusheng stood behind him and said softly, "With such a serious injury, the body needs to repair itself, so naturally it will fall into a coma for a few days."

"A few days... so long?"

Seeing that his complexion was not good, Liu Yusheng walked up to him and stretched out his hand, "Let me feel your pulse."

Tan Yangzi glanced at him, "No need, I'm fine."

"It's up to the doctor if there's anything to do."

Tan Yangzi had no choice but to hand him his wrist.Liu Yusheng frowned again, "It seems that life in this hell is really hard. It's a wonder that you are still awake with such weak breath. Did someone give you any elixir?"

Tan Yangzi nodded.

"You need to rest, otherwise even if there is a panacea, it won't last long."

"No need."

"He won't wake up for a while."

"..."

Seeing that Tan Yangzi remained silent, but his face remained unmoved, Liu Yusheng was also a little angry.This is really strange for the master and apprentice. The apprentice is willing to go to hell for the master, and the master has tossed like this for the apprentice.When did the master-student relationship become so close that each other would die for each other?

For two days in a row, Tan Yangzi never left Yan Fei's bedside for half a step, and when he was sleepy, he just lay down by the bedside and took a nap for a while.He didn't talk much, and Tiandong brought food, but he only ate a little.His expression showed a bit of anxiety from time to time, but the next moment he returned to calm, and he couldn't see anything anymore.

At sunset on the third day, Tan Yangzi vaguely knew that he couldn't wait for Yan Fei to wake up.

He asked Tiandong to bring a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and wrote a letter.In the letter, he told Yan Fei that he would sever the master-student relationship with him, and that he would not have to look for him again in the future.

Tan Yangzi hoped that this letter could break Yan Fei's heart completely, even if he hated himself.Only when he is far away from him, Fengdu will not touch him, and he will not suffer such serious injuries again.

In fact, Tan Yangzi has always hoped that Yan Fei could grow up safely like other boys, and then either study Taoism, or obtain fame, or be a hero, or be an ordinary farmer, or It can be a businessman who travels all over the world.But since when did I get used to Yan Fei's company, and selfishly dragged him into the eerie chaos of Qinghongwuchang.

After writing the letter, put it in the envelope and seal it carefully.He finally came to Yan Fei's bed, looking down at the young man who had followed him for ten years.

The feeling of loss, no matter how many times I experience it, is still so painful.

I'm afraid that after Yan Fei wakes up and reads this letter, he will feel no less pain than himself.

Why did I bring only pain to Yan Fei?

Tan Yangzi leaned down, kissed Yan Fei lightly on the forehead, then turned and left without looking back.

Leaving the house, he asked Nahan's servant to lead him to Liu Yusheng's door.Liu Yusheng pushed open the door, and saw Tan Yangzi standing quietly at the foot of the steps with a sword on his back and a fly whisk. Leng Yueshuang was dressed in a suit, steaming on his waist-length silver hair and tall but somewhat thin figure.The stern face that was always expressionless, now looked very tired, even a little sad.

"I'm leaving, please give this letter to Yan Fei."

Liu Yusheng opened his eyes wide, "Where are you going?"

"I have my own place."

"You...you didn't wait for him to wake up?" Liu Yusheng's astonishment began to be angry, and then he showed a mocking smile, "He made this for you, and you didn't even Can't wait?"

Tan Yangzi endured the sharpness of the words, "Don't wait, it's useless to wait." After he finished speaking, he stepped forward and handed the letter in his hand to Liu Yusheng.But the moment the other party put his hand on the letter, Tan Yangzi suddenly raised his eagle-like eyes, and a bright yellow light flashed, "If he begs you again, don't send him to hell again. His ghost body is useless."

Liu Yusheng hated being threatened the most, he snorted and said, "Whether I want to help him or not is my business."

"If you are interested in him, don't indulge him anymore. That's what hurt him." Tan Yangzi said in a low voice.

Liu Yusheng was slightly taken aback, and was at a loss for words for a moment.

Didn't expect this Taoist priest to see his thoughts at a glance?

If so, why has he been turning a blind eye to the thoughts of the people around him?

Tan Yangzi let go of his hand, took a step back, straightened his clothes, and bowed neatly to Liu Yusheng, "Mr. has saved you many times, and the poor will never forget it. Bad guys are sometimes stubborn. Please forgive him."

Liu Yusheng was even more surprised. Judging by his posture, he actually entrusted Yan Fei to himself?

Tan Yangzi turned around and walked away on the frosty ground.That bleak figure seemed a little lonely.

"Hey!"

Tan Yangzi's footsteps paused.

"Are you really willing?"

Tan Yangzi was indifferent, raised his head slightly, looked at the cold moon in the treetops, smiled wryly, and said in a voice that only he could hear, "What can I do if I can't bear it?"
