Lights on the other side

It's like a thin blade slashing at the heart, it hasn't hurt like this for a long time.

The last time I felt this way was ten years ago.

Whenever someone came over, he would ask, "How is Baishi Mountain going?"

But without exception, no one would answer him, and all those who responded to him were hatred eyes.

Then he stopped asking, realizing that he was just deceiving himself.

Years of wars have killed many people. Apart from Baishi Mountain, there are other places. The flames of war have burned away the peaceful years of everyone.

He forced himself to accept the fact that Tang Yuanchu was in Baishi Mountain, and she would never come back.

It hurts, the heart still hurts, like an old injury recurring.

Breathing must be divided into several times to ensure that the air entering the throat will not be so cold.

Every once in a while, someone would come to check whether the chain on his wrist was intact. They came and went. Li Ruoci couldn't tell the sun and the moon here, except for the occasional gleam of light reflected from the bottomless black water under his body.

He couldn't see anything, so he didn't know how many days he had been here.

It seems very long, but also seems very short, loneliness stretches the time infinitely, but the injury on the shoulder reminds him that even a month has not arrived.

Since he was exposed that day, he was brought back to Wuxitian, and there was no torture, but he was locked in the dark black water prison.

The Blackwater Prison is located in a sealed stone room. If the door is not opened, there will be no light here, and only suffocating darkness will remain.The water that stretches up to the waist is also black, and it is specially used to raise a huge python called black water, which swims quietly in the black water.Only the sound of water flowing, which rang from time to time in the silent water prison, made people feel chills from the bottom of their hearts.

Wu Xitian's own disciples didn't care too much, but some timid ones walked tremblingly along the steps on the stone wall as soon as they came in, for fear of getting too close to the black water.

Li Ruoci's lower body was in the water, and he could clearly feel the water marks caused by its swimming. Although he knew that the black water snake would not come around for no reason, he subconsciously felt afraid, but it was inevitable.His back could only be attached to the cold, sticky and wet stone wall, his hands were bound by iron chains, and he hung up slightly, without any free space.

Pei Shi hadn't shown his face since he was brought here, and Li Ruoci guessed that he wouldn't stay here for too long. The battle in Weizhou was difficult, and although Baishi Mountain was robbed, Weizhou managed to defend it anyway. Yes, Pei Shi will definitely not be able to leave next.

Xue Danggui came a few times a few days ago and asked him a few things.At the beginning, Li Ruoci talked to him a few words, but then no one bothered to talk to him. The wound on his body that was poked out by the sword seemed to be just to torture him, and he refused to heal for a long time. It felt like he really didn't have the strength to open his mouth to speak.

"Let it be dealt with." After saying the last four words to Xue Danggui, he began to keep silent.

Xue Danggui was opposite him, calm and calm, his voice could not hear any major emotional fluctuations, it was still gentle and gentle, he raised his hand to stop the dissatisfied disciples beside him, and said slowly: "If the third son does not want to cooperate, Then you don’t have to force it.”

Li Ruoci remained silent, refusing to give up his last pretense.

In the past two days, almost no one came again. He was here alone, listening to his own breathing intermittently, and there was a bloody smell all over his body.

He felt that it was very likely that he would die here, rot, turn into a white bone, and then become a pile of nourishment in the snake's belly.

It was wet and cold in the black water prison, and Li Ruoci fell into a semi-conscious state uncontrollably, and his spirit collapsed along with his body.

Between half-dream and half-awake, he seemed to be back when he was eight or nine years old. He did something wrong, and Li Chengqi locked him in a dark room. Although he was afraid and didn't know what was in the dark, he didn't act like other Yell like that.

"Father, I was wrong, I know I was wrong, let me out."

He knocked on the door softly, but got no response.He starved inside for three or four days, had no choice but to climb out of the window, broke his right arm, and walked up to Li Chengqi in a state of embarrassment. When he saw the surprise on his adoptive father's face, Li Ruoci realized that righteousness Father had long forgotten about this matter.

"It's okay, I never blamed you, it's just that I thought it was love, and I've been happy for it for so many years." Many years later, Li Ruoci squatted next to Li Chengqi, who was covered in blood, and said calmly.

He remembered that when he was fourteen or fifteen years old, he was able to perform tasks independently, and his strength increased by leaps and bounds over and over again. In the end, Li Chengqi worried that he would no longer be able to control him that day, so he planted a plant in his heart. A blind poison called heart-corrosion.

When it happened, it was really heart-wrenching pain, which made people feel overwhelmed.But after this period of time passed, he was like a normal person again, doing whatever he was supposed to do.

"Father is kind and son is filial, why not do it?"

Sometimes, deceiving yourself and others can make life easier.

In fact, as long as you don't force him too much and give him a way to survive, he will definitely not do such a rebellious thing as killing his father.

In order to break the formation on the opposite side, Li Chengqi directly pulled him out to sacrifice the blood formation without even much hesitation.

He knelt down to intercede for himself, he was so young that he didn't want to die yet.He is extremely humble, and only asks him to read the relationship between father and son and teacher and apprentice for many years.

"What's wrong? I raised them all, so why can't I ask for something in return? Don't forget, the heart is still in your body, and the left and right are also dead, so it's worth dying."

When Li Ruoci heard this sentence, his mind went blank. Although he had known for a long time that he was just a dog under Li Chengqi's subordinates, that was not the case.

After it was used up, he was thrown on the spot, dying, and others had already lost their breath for him, so they ignored him.Later, he climbed back bit by bit by himself.

He found a cave and cultivated for a while.When he thought of the effect of corrupting his heart, he only felt that there was a weakness in the hands of others, and he still couldn't escape a death sentence after all.As soon as he became ruthless, he directly dug out his own heart to bleed out, forcefully forcing the poison out.

He thought, if he died this time, it would be his life.But the blood began to flow down the stone steps, and he still survived half-dead, this is fate.

After waiting, he took a knife and approached Li Chengqi's door.

"You little bastard, you're so arrogant!" Li Chengqi was shocked and angry.

"That's what you taught me, too."

However, he killed his adoptive father who had taught him for many years.

"You and I are not kind, why did you have to be so hypocritical?"

Looking at the blood under his feet, he said with some regret that the blood stained the shoes, but he didn't care.

Now, the blood passed through the curtains of time and space, and flowed to his feet again.

Only this time, he killed Tang Yuanchu.

He lowered his head, his naturally falling hair covering most of his face.

Suddenly a wry smile escaped from his lips.
