Incense money from flower and bird shop

Ming Yan had a lengthy dream.

In this dream, the redness of the phoenix flower tree has faded, leaving only the trembling dead branches.

The cold wind blew across his cheeks, blowing away his drowsiness, Ming Yan's eyelashes trembled slightly like butterfly wings, and after a while, he slowly opened his eyes.

His eyes turned crimson again, like the setting sun falling into them, magnificent and breathtaking.

He will be reborn here and return to the world again.As long as there are mortals who remember him, as long as the incense burns, he will not disappear.For him, death was both the beginning and the end.

"I'll be able to go back when the phoenix flower blooms again." Ming Yan looked at the withered branches above his head, and muttered to himself, "But Xiao Congshuo—"

Can Xiao Congshuo wait until then?

There are also Zhu Li and Da Bai, they are all waiting in the flower and bird shop, waiting for his return.

Ming Yan stood up drowsily, looking at the desolate Nirvana, with exhaustion in his eyes.However, he must pull himself together.

It is not cowardice to set fire/burn himself on the cliff, in order to escape from Luo Hu's control, he must die once.

Suddenly there is a cool breeze blowing over the dead tree, lingering on the jagged dead branches, and at some point, the first sweet and fiery flower blooms on the top of the tree.The phoenix peanuts produced flower buds one by one, and the eyes were full of red clouds.In the vast realm of Nirvana, other places are still desolate and desolate, but this phoenix flower tree is full of vitality.

"Is it the mountain god?" Ming Yan could feel that this was the last spiritual consciousness of the mountain god.

The breeze blew slowly around Ming Yan's body three times, and an ethereal and weak voice rang in his ears: "He gave me three sticks of incense, and I can only repay him with my last spiritual knowledge and seek a chance for him."

The breeze dissipated, leaving a lingering sound lingering in his ears, Ming Yan felt sad, and raised his hand to catch a falling flower, tears gradually appeared in his eyes like stars falling.

"The dream is over—"

The wind suddenly hit, and the coldness was like a cold wave. The red flowers on the trees fell like raindrops, and the ground was full of red.

The person who came here was Xiao Shao, and he was speaking in a mocking tone: "Do you think you can hide?"

"I'm not so naive." Ming Yan's eyes froze, he already knew that this person would not let him go easily, "It's just that you can't do anything to me in this place."

"Really?" Xiao Shao sneered, "This is no longer your refuge."

"The phoenix flower is already in full bloom, I will grab you with my own hands and leave."

Xiao Shao's eyes are like a bottomless cave, and he is about to drag Ming Yan into it: "I will make you pay the price for disobedience."

"I don't have a soul, so even if I'm thrown into hell, it's useless to you." Ming Yan also smiled, without a trace of fear, "This price is nothing more than mediocre."

"Let me wait and see your pain."

Before the words were finished, the landslide came suddenly, and the ground under his feet split apart, spreading to Ming Yan's side rapidly.

The cliff collapsed and the ground cracked. Ming Yan couldn't avoid it, and suddenly fell into the bottomless abyss.

He fell like a white crane with broken wings, Xiao Shao's deep and cold voice was heard by his ears——

"Compared to the sea of ​​fire, the world is the real purgatory."

"Just use your eyes and witness with me."

In the boundless darkness, time seems to stand still.

Ming Yan woke up clutching his head, but found that he was in a place where he couldn't see his fingers.

This is where?

Ming Yan dragged his heavy body to do it, trying to get back the fragmented memory.

His last memory still stays in the moment when the mountains collapsed and the ground cracked, falling into the endless abyss.Could it be that this dark and dead place is the purgatory that Xiao Shao mentioned?

A ray of light came from behind him, piercing the boundless night, Ming Yan subconsciously followed the light source, but his eyes were stung again, and he involuntarily turned his face away.

"Welcome back to the world." It was Xiao Shao's voice, full of sarcasm and banter.

With the help of the light, Ming Yan realized that he was already in the cage.And the seals carved on the cage intertwined into an invisible net, binding his remaining spiritual power.

Anger suddenly surged from the bottom of his heart, Ming Yan asked him coldly: "What are you going to do?"

Xiao Shao didn't take it seriously, and asked Ming Yan sarcastically: "Isn't it your best destination to be locked in a cage like a bird?"

To Ming Yan, this was a great insult.Chifeng and Fanniao are different, how can they be confused?What Xiao Shao did was to torture him—to wear down his will and damage his dignity.

When Xiao Shao spoke, his eyes were fixed on Ming Yan, as if expecting him to show a look of despair: "You will be imprisoned here until you are forgotten by the world and completely perish."

"Get out!" This simple word, uttered from Ming Yan's clenched teeth, contained too much resentment and anger, but also faintly mixed with helplessness.

"Maybe, I should let another person come to see you." While speaking, Xiao Shao turned sideways, and saw another person standing at the door.

That person stood against the light, his figure almost turned into a pitch-black statue, and Ming Yan couldn't see his face clearly.

However, Ming Yan knew very well that this was Xiao Congshuo.

No, why is this Xiao Congshuo?The real Xiao Congshuo was expelled to nowhere, and the person in front of him was just a part of Luo Hu.

"Ming Yan." The man walked over step by step, the footsteps echoed in the silent house, every step seemed to step on Ming Yan's heart.

"What should I call you?" Ming Yan finally saw his face clearly. Even though he was still exactly the same as Xiao Congshuo, the high-spirited vitality could not be borrowed or stolen.

Xiao Congshuo's warm smile gradually appeared in front of his eyes, and Ming Yan suddenly felt chills in his heart - could it be that he really can't come back?

"What should I call you?" Ming Yan murmured, "You are neither Xiao Congshuo nor Luo Hu."

"It's not important." The man walked up to the cage and looked at him condescendingly, as if Ming Yan was just nothing under his feet, "Why don't you consider your own situation?"

"It has been reduced to this point, what is there to be afraid of?" Ming Yan looked at the rune engraved on the cage ironically, and let out a sneer.

In this well-prepared cage, he couldn't even ignite the fire of Nirvana, and could only be a quiet prisoner.

"Since this is the case, you can enjoy the rest of your life here." The man turned around to leave, but stopped in front of the door, turned to look at him, and reminded him with "great kindness", "However, the rest of your life may be a little long , I won't let you disappear easily."

"I will personally light the incense for you, and wish you a long life."

"You!" Ming Yan could no longer hold back his anger, his heart seemed to be on fire, and his eyes almost turned into sharp knives.

Sometimes, lingering to live is more painful than dying. Ming Yan watched the light blocked by the door, and the place became dark and silent again, like an abyss.He is a pebble in the abyss, he can only stay quietly in a place where the sun cannot be seen, and even decay and disappear is an extravagant hope.
