Qingguan Nightmare Shadow

Luo Rong was cooking on the stove, his face was covered with firewood ash, before he could wipe it off, Yun Li dragged him outside the door.Yun Li asked him where he saw the first girl at that time, Luo Rong pointed to the stone steps, and said, "It's here. But when she ran here, she disappeared." As he spoke, he stood again At the position where the person "disappeared", he pointed the ground to Yunli.

Nothing.

Yunli: "Where you went when you followed them, how do you get in?"

Luo Rong realized what had happened, so she didn't dare to ask further questions, but said: "At that time, they seemed to be driven by something, and they ran into a door. But the location of the door is not fixed. After I came out, I wanted to go in again, but I couldn’t see the door anymore." He swallowed his saliva: "Young Master Yun, what happened? Isn't this thing over long ago?"

If Jiahui doesn't let this end, this matter will never end.

Yunli: "Su Tong is not in Yuchi's mansion... Yuchiling is not here either." Luo Rong blinked: "I heard that Yuchi's mansion is not peaceful today, maybe Mr. Yuchi brought Mr. Su to the restaurant." Yunli wants to kill someone now , not being polite to anyone: "Have you ever seen a big tree growing in a restaurant in the capital?!" After that, he added irritably: "Furthermore, the father-in-law and mother-in-law came to see their daughter, and he ordered people to drink ,make sense?!"

Yun Li was also helpless, not knowing what to do next, so he stopped where he was and explained to Luo Rong.Luo Rong stood there in a daze, it's no wonder he couldn't understand why Yun Li was in a hurry, after all, Yun Li's vigilance towards Yu Chi Ling all along was entirely out of his own intuition.Not to mention Luo Rong who knew him not long ago, even Yun Yao, and even Mu Zhe couldn't understand.

Turning the green light on, Yun Li stroked his eyes, and then stroked Luo Rong's eyes.The green light is inherited from Zihua, and has special characteristics that are different from ordinary immortal powers. Mu Zhe also has difficulties in guiding Yunli to practice.Yunli explored by himself, at first he only used it to hit people, but this year he discovered its repairing and healing effects, now he wants to explore whether the green light can make people's eyes clearer.

Yun Li stared at the unchanged scene, unwillingly said: "Did you see something new?"

Luo Rong answered irrelevantly: "It's icy, very comfortable."

There was a tap on the shoulder.

Yun Li turned his head to look, and saw that it was "Broken Sword". "Broken Sword" has no mouth, but wants to speak, but with one arm and one leg, it is difficult to use body language.Normally, Yunli and it have a tacit understanding, and they can understand some small things, but now he seems to want to express some complicated content, and the words are difficult to "speak" in his heart, and he is jumping in a hurry.

Luo Rong suddenly said, "Young Master Yun, look up."

His "above" refers not to the sky, but to the sword body.

"Broken Sword" rubbed Luo Rong's face, and told Yun Li to listen to him in a way of showing intimacy.Following the direction of Luo Rong's finger, Yunli saw that the world reflected by "Broken Sword" is different from the real world - there are many more doors, many, many doors.Those gates lined up extremely long, the nearest one was just under the stone steps of this garden, and the farthest one reached the palace wall.Looking back, there is still nothing.

Yun Li stared at "Broken Sword", walked backwards, and came to the nearest door.The angle was not right, he made a slight mistake with reference to the relative position indicated by "Broken Sword", but unexpectedly, instead of coming to the front, he distanced himself from the door.After trying a few more times, Yunli discovered that the concept of distance between the mirror world and the real world is different. After trying again and again, he finally figured out the way and found the right location.

He turned sideways, with half of his face facing "Broken Sword" and half of his face facing the door.He raised his hand to push the door, and in the mirror, the door was actually pushed by Yunli's shadow, maybe it was locked, and the deviation of the door leaf only existed in a line. "Strengthen more", the door did not mean to be pushed open.

Well, you don't want to pull it out, do you?

However, this door is a bare board, if you pull it, where should you pull it?

Yun Li backed away from this train of thought, settled down, and kicked the door, the movement of the door was indeed louder.The violence was effective, and Yunli went one step further, throwing a ball of green light and smashing the door on the sword.But the real green light flew far away and hit the wall of another house.

The two looked at each other, Luo Rong smiled wryly, and took care of the aftermath with silent words.Then Luo Rong said seriously: "Young Master Yun, look back after you take a few steps, make sure the door is still there. If the light starts to weaken, you must go back the same way... those girls are gone inside." Yun Li nodded, and as soon as he entered the door, he disappeared from Luo Rong's eyes.

Within three steps, Yun Li suddenly felt severe pain all over his body, as if his whole body was wrapped by some rough thing and was being severely ground.The whole body began to bleed, because it hurts everywhere, and the blood on the clothes seeped out from nowhere.With difficulty, Yun Li looked back subconsciously, but the moment he turned his head, the broken door leaf had recovered.As if designed to shock his heart, the door had not been closed long ago, but it was closed the moment he looked over.

Darkness fell suddenly.

It was this darkness again, the darkness that made people lose their sense of direction.

I can't see anything but myself.But this time, the darkness does not give people the feeling of being in the water, but the feeling of stepping on the ground.The flat road extends in all directions, and you can go anywhere, and there is no end to any place.The pain gradually disappeared, and Yunli heard someone calling him from far away.It was a woman's voice; the voice could penetrate this dark space, but it didn't have the slightest pride of the owner, but it was filled with pleading sadness.

In the darkness, there are eyes watching whoever comes.Those eyes are like the sun on the horizon, and Yun Li cannot avoid it, allowing himself to be illuminated by the "light" that stretches for thousands of feet.The invisible eyes should have confirmed his identity. Suddenly, there was a gasp of joy in the void, and at the same time, Yun Li's feet were empty, and he fell suddenly.

Female voices are everywhere.In the process of falling, Yun Li heard two words: "Help".This voice was not sharp at all, but its effect of touching people's hearts was no less than a heart-piercing scream.

Light began to appear on the soles of the feet, and gradually, Yunli saw the crown of the tree... the crown of a giant tree without a single leaf.

is here.

When he was about to fall to the branch, Yunli sacrificed a talisman to hide his body.

As the falling time prolongs, the falling speed does not get faster and faster.When he stepped on the ninth branch of the giant tree, the soles of his feet were supported, and he didn't make any sound.Yu Jian looked down, and several empty wine jars appeared in his vision.Looking at the number and capacity of the wine jars, Yuchiling and Su Tong seemed to have been drinking from morning to evening in silence.

What is more frightening than drinking is the performance of the two people: neither of them looks drunk.

Just the smell of wine made Yunli feel a little dizzy.He closed his eyes and pressed his temples, and when he opened his eyes again, the female voice sounded again: "Yun Li." Yun Li was startled, and went to see the reaction of Yu Chiling and Su Tong; but the two obviously didn't notice the voice. It was like a hallucination that he was alone.The difference from before is that the sound now has the function of indicating the direction.Following the direction of the sound, he went around to the other side of the tree trunk.In this position, it happened that the two people on the opposite side could not be seen at all.

The inside of the trunk of the giant tree reveals a dark green light.The light is in the form of filaments, outlining the human figure bit by bit.The man was curled up, holding a mist-like ball of light in his arms, and there was a smaller and brighter thing in the mist.

Yun Li lowered his voice and hesitated, "Auntie?"

The light cast a fleeting smile on the man's face.

The arc that represented the smile receded, and the dark green light drew a few more "tears".Tears slid down, and the man's face was empty again, not sure whether it was joy or sadness.Then, very accurately, the man pushed the ball of light in his arms towards Yunli, and he disappeared.

The ball of light gave birth to two "hands", holding something, and "looking at each other" with Yunli through the bark.The light mist containing dark green beads is very similar to a single eye. It is crystal clear, but it suddenly grows hands, which makes people feel extremely disgusting.Soon, two "hands" stick out from the bark and hold Yunli's wrist.The blood on the wrist was swept away, Yun Li only felt the tactile sensation of being licked by his tongue left on his skin, he frowned, and hurriedly backed away.But no matter how far he retreats, the "hand" stretches out as far as possible; no matter how hard he resists, the "hand" uses more strength to pull him back.

The figure in the tree flashed again.The female voice said: "Help."

Yun Li was stunned for a moment, and when he came back to his senses, his hands had already been drawn to the tree trunk, touching the "pupils" of the "eyes".

In an instant, countless screams superimposed, pierced his eardrums, drilled into his mind and stirred violently.The scream penetrated everywhere, the gaps between the internal organs were filled, and the body seemed to be cut open from the inside out.

Yun Li pulled out his sword and cut off the two hands that were wrapped around him.

Over there, the silent two finally made a movement.

"Brother Juegui, the wine is gone." Yuchiling said with a smile, and his tone was lazy, as if he didn't know about the hectic scene at home.Although Su Tong didn't answer, Yun Li could guess his expression; he had only a few expressions, and when he was not speaking, he was probably drooping his eyelashes in thought.

Yun Li glanced at the ball of light that was rebuilding the "hands", and walked back along the tree trunk.

I saw Yu Chiling leaning on the tree trunk with his head in his arms, legs crossed, Su Tong was holding the wine jar, sitting upright and kneeling.Both of them looked far away, Yunli was willing to believe that what attracted their attention was the beautiful scenery such as the afterglow of the setting sun, rather than the pure darkness.

Yu Chiling tilted his head, smiled and said: "The wine is gone, the worries haven't been poured yet."

"..."

Yuchi Lingwu said to himself: "Brother Juegui, why do you think I have been so troubled these years? Since the civil strife in Xie Mingzong, the emperor has started to look down on me. He entrusted you with all the people from the civil and military department. Those people are spread across various departments. You have taught them well, but what about me, what am I to them? They call me 'Master', and they don't actually take me seriously. I'm mere A deputy department of the Supervisory Office, if they want to climb, they can climb to the mountain above my head at any time..."

Su Tong: "..."

"Oh, that's right. Brother Juegui, thanks to you, I am no longer even a deputy department of the Supervisory Office."

Su Tong must have received a lot of innocuous knives from him today, and when he heard such words, he bowed his head and drank.But now there is no wine in the glass, all he swallowed was Yuchiling's bitter words.

"A year ago, my mother was haunted by nightmares, saying that she was afraid that she would leave suddenly one day, and wanted to see me marry a wife and start a family. My mother has worked hard for the family for decades, and she has done no less than my father. Why do you think God treats her so badly?" Well, when she should be enjoying the blessings, but let her sleep well all night and night, and make him forget about food and tea all day long? When I should be filial, I have become the most useless person in the family tree Humiliate my mother." Yu Chiling lined up the wine jars next to him, walked across to Su Tong, and sat opposite him, "Hey, let's not talk about that. Brother Jue Gui, let me tell you something interesting. Mingshuang doesn’t know people very well now, when he woke up this morning, he asked me ‘Who are you?’ Brother Jue Gui, isn’t it interesting?”

Su Tong took all of Yuchiling's eyes into his eyes, and stirred them into the most peaceful look.

Yuchiling laughed: "I really envy you." He leaned forward, his eyes almost curved, "You didn't do anything, His Majesty gave you everything you wanted. But what about me?" , I have done so much for His Majesty, I tried my best to present him what he wanted, but he casually dumped an official and asked me to do it."

Su Tong raised his eyes, and something sharp was added to Mo Tong.

Yuchiling: "What's the matter, brother Juegui, I envy you, why are you unhappy? Heh, there are countless people in the world who get what they ask for, and those who get what they don't ask for. I've only seen you... you sleep Immortal, if you sleep comfortably, and then pretend to be noble, you will have everything. Why, Brother Jue Gui."

Yunli's fingers dug into the bark, and picked out a piece of wood residue.

Immediately, he heard a sneer.

It wasn't Yuchi Ling, nor was it an auditory hallucination, but a sneer from Su Tong.There is no need to reply word by word for many words, Su Juegui's "disdain to listen" is quite heavy.In the past, he did not deliberately avoid it in order to obey the etiquette of a gentleman. Many times, the reason why he gave way indifferently was because he did not encounter things that touched the bottom line.

Yuchiling actually showed an expression of ecstasy, and after the ecstasy passed, his face was completely torn apart.

"Do you think that everything you are doing now is due to His Majesty's appreciation?!" Yu Chiling stood up and said condescendingly, "You protect Yun, and when you don't want him to enter the capital, His Majesty has long been disappointed in you .Later you ruined His Majesty's business, His Majesty dumped you to the frontier, you were lucky to survive. His Majesty was afraid of you, and believed that you were "fated with immortals", so he kept you by his side as a swordsman. Jue Gui Brother, are you still dreaming, thinking that there is righteousness in the world, and if you stick to that bullshit righteousness, you will have food, be an official, and be respected?!"

Yun Li tightened his neck.

The dark green "hand" pinched him and dragged him towards the back of the giant tree.

Yun Li grabbed the protruding part of the tree trunk and swung his sword several times. When his mind went blank, he finally swung his sword correctly.He took a deep breath, wondering if it was an illusion, Yuchi Ling who was talking endlessly paused and glanced this way.The entangled hand fumbled again, and the female voice said in the ear: "I won't hurt you, you come here." However, the movements of the dark green tentacles did not match the gentle female voice.Yunli was entangled more and more tightly, and was dragged back to the position just now; the light ball produced more derivatives, and tightly covered his mouth.

Yuchiling took a few steps towards the side of the tree trunk and walked back.Then Yunli realized that he was not checking the source of the friction sound, but was pacing to suppress the fire in his heart.

"Ah, ha, Brother Juegui, I'm rude, I'm rude..." Yuchiling's tone turned around, but in the blink of an eye, he became violent again: "But you have to know, the 'right way' has always been It was decided by the person on the seat! A knife, if the person holding the knife can’t handle it, it will be discarded as scrap copper and iron sooner or later when it becomes blunt. You think the blade refers to poisonous snakes and silverfish, and it refers to you The prescribed crooked ways, in fact, what you destroy is what His Majesty wants you to destroy..."

"One day, you will completely deviate from His Majesty's direction. If you dare to point your sword at the dragon chair, how can Your Majesty allow you?!"

Goosebumps appeared on Yunli's body, but fortunately Su Tong stood up, Yuchiling saw that he had reacted, so he shut up for the time being.

Su Tong said in a deep voice: "The emperor has never gone in a crooked way."

"Don't you think it's never been the case? Then last time, this time, who was blocking His Majesty's way?" Yu Chiling said, "Oh, I understand. Brother Jue Gui is saying that it was the National Teacher and I Your Majesty is going astray. But if Your Majesty really has no intention of going this way, do you still need Brother Juegui to obstruct you openly and covertly? Also... this is really strange, in this world, you are allowed to seek immortality in Su Fuguo, But the emperor is not allowed to ask?! How can this be reasonable."

"Brother Juegui, the emperor is in the dragon chair, and it is quite hard work. As ordinary people, you and I can enjoy the prosperity and wealth as long as he wishes. Life is a great fortune, isn't it. You don't want to share the loneliness for the emperor , How can you use your 'Tao' to refute His Majesty's 'Tao'?! Or... are you willing to sit on the Dragon Throne instead of His Majesty?"

"Xing Yin!"

"Brother Juegui, don't be angry, I'm just speculating reasonably, and I didn't fabricate it out of thin air." Yu Chiling laughed, "...Besides, even if you follow the Dao of Heaven and Earth, how dare you say that the Dao of Heaven and Earth has been in your arms for a long time? , without any selfishness? In the severe drought the year before last, my father was ordered to open a warehouse to release grain to help the hungry people in the state. It was only because some people withdrew a little in the cracks and were reported by the head of the soil, and you caught a little bit of it. He kept his voice down and dereliction of duty by joining my father as an official in the court, causing my father to be demoted. Brother Juegui, what is your intention in doing this?"

"You suffered a lot when you were young, so you feel pity for the hungry people in Chongzhou? That's right, brother Juegui, why didn't you think that if you hadn't been able to enter Beijing at that time, you would still be a white clothed person in a remote village..."

Yun's anger surged in his heart:

Yuchiling really doesn't know what his mother is doing?How dare you mention Su Tong's entry into Beijing to face the holy festival? !

Suddenly, his ears became clear, and Yuchiling's voice stopped abruptly.

The "hand" of the ball of light pressed his ears, and took advantage of the situation to hold his face, turning him over, facing the trunk of the giant tree.

When he looked at the "pupil" again, Zhao Qibin's face appeared before Yunli's eyes.
