【Kuan Xin】Snake and Venom

Tang Shun refused to release Ah Shun in a daze, and looked at Yuan Zhongxin in disbelief, too shocked to say a word.

Yuan Zhongxin raised his eyebrows, and asked leisurely: "You don't really think that I'm the kind of ungrateful person who crosses the river and picks a stick?"

Tang Shun's eyes suddenly became brighter, and the heart that had just died of depression came alive again. The smile on the corner of his mouth could not be stopped. Ah Shun had been locked up by him for a long time, and he had long been impatient. Next, Tang Shun glanced at Yuan Zhongxin hastily, and the next moment, his eyes suddenly became unrestrained, and his demeanor was no longer clean and gentle, exuding a strong cynicism, and he was completely different from Tang Shun just now.

Ah Shun looked at everyone proudly, even his voice became extremely clear and hard, without any trace of warmth, he curled his lips in dissatisfaction, and his tone was rather resentful: "Will you let me out?"

Yuan Zhongxin shrugged innocently: "What are you blaming me for? Can I still make decisions for Tang Shun anytime and anywhere?"

Seeing Ah Shun's life-saving appearance, Shililiu's anger immediately disappeared without a trace, and they couldn't help being overjoyed.

They finally understood why there were so many people at the scene. Yuan Zhongxin insisted on asking Tang Shun to be the mountain guard by name.

However, Wang Kuan, Yuan Bofin and others didn't know why, and they stared at Tang Shun who was completely different from before. If it wasn't for Tang Shun's shadow, Wei Yanei thought he had seen a ghost.

Wang Kuan walked up to Yuan Zhongxin in amazement: "Zhongxin, what's going on?"

Yuan Zhongxin looked at Ah Shun pointedly, the intention in his eyes was self-evident, Ah Shun nodded hesitantly, the corners of Yuan Zhongxin's mouth curled slightly, and told Tang Shun's secret in detail.

Everyone was shocked, and their eyes were full of surprise when they looked at Ah Shun. They never thought that in this world, there are actually two souls that can exist in one body at the same time.

Wei Yanei opened his mouth wide in amazement, his eyes wandered all over Ah Shun's body, and he couldn't help sighing: "Wow, this is too powerful... two souls!"

Wang Kuan speculated and said: "So at that time in Qinghe Town, Ah Shun's soul suddenly woke up and ran out of the fire pit by himself."

Ah Shun raised his eyebrows casually, as a default.

Gu Ya looked Tang Shun's body up and down, left and right, his eyes were full of surprises, and he murmured as if talking to himself: "There are really two souls so magical, can't they be pretending?"

Yuan Zhongxin crossed his arms, hooked the corners of his mouth with interest, and said coolly: "There are even such wicked places in this world, why can't there be two coexisting souls? How about it, can we go away?" ?”

Gu Ya looked troubled, scratched his forehead in deep thought, and said falteringly: "Young Master Yuan, this situation has never happened to us in history, this... I dare not let you go casually."

Yuan Zhongxin snorted and said, "The regulations on the mountain guards here are extremely outrageous. They are ridiculous. There is no regulation on who must guard the mountain, and there is no order that people with two souls are not allowed to be the mountain guards. How can you What won't let us go?"

"Besides, the blood of Tang Shun was stained on the stone wall. It was Tang Shun's mountain guard that Tang Shun wanted to be. Tang Shun was to stay and Ah Shun was to go. The two souls were completely different. Is there any conflict?"

Gu Ya was silenced by Yuan Zhongxin's understatement, and even he began to lean towards Yuan Zhongxin's words in his heart, two souls, one should go and the other should stay, it seems that there is really no conflict.

Shililiu people all showed joy on their faces, and then felt a burst of guilt, just now they cursed at Yuan Zhongxin in anger, which really made them feel deeply ashamed, looked at Yuan Zhongxin in embarrassment, and said nothing .

Yuan Zhongxin naturally received their staring eyes, and he teased and said: "Why, didn't you scold me so hard just now? One mouth is a villain, the other is mean and shameless, and all of them have sharp teeth-now Why don't you scold me?"

The six people from Shili looked at each other, and actually knelt on one knee in front of Yuan Zhongxin, clasped their fists with both hands, lowered their heads, and said resolutely, "Young Master Yuan, everything that happened just now is our fault, yes! We were impulsive, and please ask your lord to have a lot of punishment, and we have no complaints!"

Ah Shun looked at the six people indifferently, and the soldiers did not stop them. Although he had been trapped in Tang Shun's body, he was extremely sober, so he could clearly hear what they scolded Yuan Zhongxin. The six people knew their mistakes, and they spared themselves a lesson, saving time, effort and worry.

Yuan Zhongxin didn't like those people who would kneel down at every turn, which made him feel uncomfortable. He rolled his eyes angrily, and said in distaste: "If you want to be punished, you can leave it in this dungeon—hurry up!" Get up!"

Now that the issue of the mountain guards has been resolved, they must get ready to go out of the dungeon.

Gu Ya said that the end of the dungeon, that is, the third exit Tang Shun said, is actually at the top of the upper reaches of the Heihe River under the Wumuzhai cliff. Go out from there and follow the flow of the Heihe River, and you can go directly to Go under the ebony village.

Wang Kuan suddenly recalled that when Yuan Zhongxin and Yuan Zhongxin fell into the cliff before, he saw some shining things in the rather turbulent water, which were gold and silver that were accidentally washed out by the river from the underground city. .

It was actually Tang Shun who falsely believed that Yuan Bofin wrote to Yuan Zhongxin. From then on, Tang Shun found out that Yuan Zhongxin was being targeted by people from Daxia. He wanted to call Yuan Zhongxin to the dungeon. , After the Wumuzhai issue was resolved, he discussed the matter with Yuan Zhongxin, who knew that Yuan Zhongxin's task had not yet been completed, and the two Daxia suddenly appeared. Tang Shun had to choose to retreat in order not to reveal his identity.

Gu Ya originally wanted to take Yuan Zhongxin and others to the end of the dungeon, where they could go directly to Wumuzhai to rest, but Yuan Zhongxin shook his head and refused: "We still have some things to deal with, old man Gu still takes us Let's go to the second tomb, it's more convenient there."

Everyone thought that what Yuan Zhongxin said was referring to the dungeon, and they agreed without any opinion, but only Yuan Bofin, Fan Zaizhi and Ah Shun knew that what Yuan Zhongxin was going to do next was not Simple.

Gu Ya looked complicated, looking at Yuan Zhongxin and the others hesitating to speak.

Yuan Zhongxin asked calmly: "Is there anything else, Senior Gu?"

Gu Ya was very uncomfortable when Yuan Zhongxin called out "Senior Gu". He frowned tightly and thought about it: "Actually, there is another place in this dungeon that you have never been to, but there are only mountain guards there. I can get involved, but now..." He stopped talking, and pointedly looked at Ah Shun.

Ah Shun shrugged indifferently: "The guardian of the mountain is Tang Shun, not me. If he doesn't come out, it means he doesn't want to go."

Gu Ya wanted to persuade him again, but Ah Shun refused to let Tang Shun come out. Who knows if there will be any accidents when Tang Shun comes out.

Seeing Ah Shun's decision, Gu Ya sighed slightly in his heart. If there is a destiny, the final secret of the dungeon will be revealed naturally. He is no longer the guardian of the mountain, so why should he worry about it?

Gu Ya regained his focus, and led Yuan Zhongxin and his party out of Guo Xu's coffin cave through the secret passage.

With Gu Ya leading the way, everyone didn't have to worry about encountering any traps again. The atmosphere was much more relaxed. Yuan Zhongxin and Wang Kuan followed the team leisurely and leisurely.

Wang Kuan should have been happy at the thought of getting out of the dungeon, but at this moment, his heart was even heavier, and he was secretly engrossed in thinking about various things, and he didn't even know Yuan Zhongxin called his name.

Yuan Zhongxin stared at him silently for a moment, raised his hand and nodded Wang Kuan's tightly furrowed eyebrows, and asked softly, "What's wrong with you, you frowning?"

Wang Kuan looked sideways at Yuan Zhongxin, his eyes were unclear, and his expression was unpredictable: "If Tang Shun really stayed in the dungeon, what would you do?"

Yuan Zhongxin blinked, and for a moment, he couldn't figure out the meaning of Wang Kuan's words: "Tang Shun won't stay here, doesn't he still have Ah Shun?"

Wang Kuan held Yuan Zhongxin's hand with lowered eyes, caressed and slowly twirled Yuan Zhongxin's fair and delicate fingertips, his voice became inexplicably hoarse: "Then what if Ah Shun doesn't exist?"

Yuan Zhongxin was stunned, not knowing how to answer.

Wang Kuan looked up at Yuan Zhongxin, his eyes were so deep that he couldn't see the bottom: "If Tang Shun really wants to be the mountain guard for me, will you remember him forever?"

Yuan Zhongxin suddenly realized.

It turned out that Wang Kuan was thinking about this matter.

The corners of Yuan Zhongxin's mouth curled up slightly, and a trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes: "If it's true as you said - I will indeed remember him, but I won't think of him often. I think of him occasionally to thank him for you."

What's more, if Tang Shun didn't have a second soul, Yuan Zhongxin would definitely not persecute him. If Wang Kuan wanted to stay at that time, then he would stay with him.

No matter what he said, he would never let Wang Kuan guard this dead city alone.

Wang Kuanding looked at Yuan Zhongxin for a long time, the gentle smile returned to his eyes, and he secretly relieved himself.

Not long ago, Wang Kuan was deeply worried that Tang Shun would live in Yuan Zhongxin's heart forever at such a heavy price—unexpectedly, Yuan Zhongxin didn't think in that direction at all.

After walking the secret path for about an hour, everyone came to a fairly wide flat ground with a door right in front of them.

Gu Ya stopped and looked at the door deeply, with a faint smile on his face: "Young Master Yuan, the old man leads the way, so I can only take it here. Going out from this door, there will be a rather difficult journey. It's a steep uphill road, but there are no traps, walk along the uphill road until you reach the end, and you will reach the second entrance to the tomb."

Yuan Zhongxin looked at him puzzled: "What about you?"

Gu Ya couldn't hide his helplessness and loneliness in his smile: "The mountain guard will live in the dungeon until his death, even if a new generation of mountain guard takes office, his final destination can only be here - I'm not afraid to confess to you, every day When an old mountain guard meets a new generation of mountain guards, his time is approaching."

Everyone's expressions immediately turned serious with astonishment.

Xiaojing asked softly: "Senior Gu, why don't you follow us out?"

Gu Ya smiled lightly and shook his head: "I've seen enough of the outside world, and I can still be a bit quiet in this dungeon. I'm happy and leisurely. You don't have to worry about me."

Yuan Zhongxin looked at the desolate smile on the corner of Gu Ya's mouth, and felt uncomfortable in his heart. Just as he was about to speak, Gu Ya had already spoken: "Young Master Yuan, you are the most intelligent and decisive person I have ever seen. I don't know why, but I just want to talk to you again. If you say a few words, it can be regarded as advice, I wonder if you are willing?"

Yuan Zhongxin nodded, and said humbly: "Please tell me."

Gu Ya raised his eyes to look at the door, and seemed to see the world outside the door in a trance: "The secrets of the heavens must not be revealed, and the will of the heavens must not be guessed. If you can guess it, it is not heaven, but fate—— —Young Master Yuan, you are extremely intelligent, so you must be able to understand what the old man said."

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Ya glanced at Wang Kuan pointingly.

Yuan Zhongxin understood immediately, and he was silent for a moment: "I understand."

Gu Ya was warning him not to speculate too much about the test Wang Kuan suffered in the mirror.

Gu Ya watched Yuan Zhongxin and others leave, the smile on his mouth never disappeared, he sat cross-legged on the ground, his heart was calm, there was no cloud, and his breathing was steady and slow.

Not long after, everything was silent on the flat ground, and Gu Ya's cold and lonely figure seemed to be sitting and standing in the darkness forever.

What Gu Ya said was right, walking uphill, the whole journey was safe and sound, and there were occasional laughter and laughter, but Yuan Zhongxin's expression became more and more indifferent, and gradually, there was still a little dignified, but in a blink of an eye Even Wang Kuan couldn't see clearly.

After an unknown amount of time, a hazy light suddenly appeared in front of them. Seeing that the exit was within reach, everyone couldn't help showing long-lost smiles and quickened their pace.

Looking at the exit that was getting closer and closer, Yuan Zhongxin suddenly said, "Wang Kuan, do you remember that you once promised me that you would trust me?"

Wang Kuan's heart suddenly rang out, and he asked anxiously, "Yuan Zhongxin, what are you talking about?"

All of a sudden, Wang Kuan, who is very sensitive to hearing, noticed that Wei Yanei and the others who were still chattering suddenly fell silent, and there was silence at the exit.

The uneasiness in Wang Kuan's heart became more and more intense. He was about to speak when a white smoke floated quietly in the air. He didn't have time to hold his breath, and his breath made him dizzy and dizzy. He staggered and threw himself into Yuan Zhongxin's arms. His eyelids drooped heavily, and he couldn't even see Yuan Zhongxin's appearance clearly.

Desperation broke through the last line of defense, Wang Kuan's eyes darkened, and he passed out.

The corners of Yuan Zhongxin's eyes were slightly sore, he hugged Wang Kuan firmly, his voice trembling, the bitterness in his heart surrounded him instantly: "Wang Kuan, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."

"Trust me one last time, sorry..."
