lotus pond

Chapter 9

Su Zhenzhen opened his eyes suddenly, and he clutched his chest, feeling his heart beating violently.He had another nightmare.

The dream is black and white, gray sky, gray grass, a black tombstone mottled with white cracks stands in the grass.

This is not an unfamiliar scene, Su Zhenzhen has seen it many times, he was so scared that he wanted to back away, but the self in the dream walked towards the tombstone step by step, stretched out his hand and brushed away the weeds blocking the tombstone.

The dream ended here, and Su Huan felt a pain in his heart. Although he didn't see the words on the tablet, he knew whose name was on it.

— That's his tomb.

His past, a part of him.

Which part dies forever, and the living part dies like twilight?

Patting his face vigorously, Su Zhen really made himself sober, and don't let his mind be immersed in this dream.He got out of bed and wanted to pour a cup of tea, but when the teapot was empty, he shook it and made a clanging sound, which made people feel even more flustered.

He sat at the table for a while, but still didn't feel sleepy. Seeing that the moon was shining brightly outside the window, he went out.

It has been ten days since Yinzi and the others left Cuihuan Mountain. Along the way, Feige sent letters to tell them where they were going. When the schedule was easy, his avatar would write some interesting things that he encountered on the road.But Su Huanzhen still felt uneasy. Ever since he completely said those words, he fell into this kind of anxiety, while the other party was completely unaffected.

Su Zhenzhen walked to the lotus pond. The lotus pond under the moon was so quiet that people could not feel the passage of time. Su Zhenzhen sat for a while and realized that there was something wrong with the lotus pond. None of them moved!

Aware of this, Su Zhenzhen stretched out his hand and gently touched the lotus leaf by the pool - just as he guessed, the originally soft leaves of the lotus leaf were now as cold and stiff as ice, completely motionless.Su Zhenzhen tried the water temperature again, but as soon as he touched the pool water, he was so cold that he withdrew his hand—the pool water was too cold!

Before he could figure out what was going on, Su Zhenzhen heard the sound of rushing water coming from the depths of the lotus pond. He looked up at the sound, and saw a white spray extending towards him. A black shadow quickly approached him.

Su Zhenzhen took a step back and left the edge of the pool. At this time, the black shadow just swam to the edge of the edge of the pool, cut open the water surface with a "wow", and popped out.

Soi Ying is another Su Zhenzhen in the mountains.However, his appearance made Su really strange.I saw that his original silver hair was dyed black by the night at this time, glowing light blue under the moonlight, but his eyes were as red as blood, making people tremble, like a pool of blood that seemed to suck people's souls, Su Zhenzhen suddenly felt dizzy in his head, his eyes went dark, and he fell forward.

Heifasu really caught him, looked down at the devilish energy stained between his brows, and sighed helplessly.

The next day, Su Zhenzhen woke up in his own bed. He stared blankly at the roof, wondering if what he saw last night was real or another dream.He lay down for a while to wake himself up, and suddenly rolled over from the bed. He wanted to find another person to ask about it.

When I came to the front hall of Wulian Terrace, I saw another Su Zhenzhen, dressed in white and with silver hair, sitting in front of the window reading a book, with a folding fan in his hand, knocking on his knee repeatedly.

Su Zhenzhen stopped in his footsteps, and the other person heard his footsteps and asked, "Did you sleep well?"

Su Zhenzhen didn't answer, just looked at the man carefully again, but he didn't see anything wrong: "Last night..."

"I didn't sleep in the middle of the night, and ran around in Cuihuan Mountain. I ran into a ghost."

"that is you."

The man closed the book with one hand, and readily admitted: "It's me, why, do you want to kill demons?"

Su really wasn't in the mood to joke with him: "You can't restrain the poison in your body anymore?"

The other party shook his head: "I don't know why, the Gu worms are extremely restless today, it was not like this before."

"Calculating the time, they should have arrived in Miaojiang. Could it be because of this?" Su Zhenzhen said after thinking for a while.

"Or maybe." The other party pondered for a while, and said: "If this is the case, this is just the beginning. I am afraid that my situation will be unstable in the past few days. You'd better leave Cuihuan Mountain temporarily."

"What do you do when I'm gone? I stay to take care of you."

Can't help laughing: "Sumou can take care of herself. Are you staying to take care of my food? Or do you want to take care of my daily life?"

Su Zhenzhen deliberately ignored his teasing words: "No matter what, it's always good to have someone to take care of you."

Sighing, Bai Yisu really said: "You have also seen what happened yesterday, you can't resist the demonic energy in me at all, if you stay here, you will be affected by demonization instead. I still have self-awareness last night, If I can't control myself, even I don't know what I will do. Moreover, the aura of Cuihuan Mountain is connected with me, and it is also connected with you. My demonization will cause changes in the atmosphere of this place. You stay here Not only will it not help, but even you will be affected by demonization."

"You don't trust Sumou too much."

"To be on the safe side, it's safer for you to leave Cuihuan Mountain."

"I'm not here, I don't even know what happened to you. If I stay here, at least I can control the development of the matter. If it is really dangerous, wouldn't I protect myself?" Su Huanzhen insisted very much, and the other person could only sigh when he saw this. One voice: "You are so stubborn."

"No, this is called choosing the good and being stubborn."

"Is there a difference? Use your tongue and be careful not to cry when the time comes."

"I found out that my perfect body can't do anything else, but it's especially good at threatening people and playing tricks."

"..." Seeing his unwillingness to admit defeat, the other party couldn't help but sigh: "I said, why does the other me like to argue with me so much? He is too, and you are too."

Su Zhenzhen was stunned, thought for a while and said, "This... probably because I am so relaxed facing myself."

"Then Sumou should feel honored?"

"Of course." Su Zhenzhen said so, but couldn't help laughing.

Yinzi found that they were being followed all the way. Of course, Su Zhenzhen, who was walking with him, knew it too, but he ignored them. He led the followers around in circles, from Cuihuan Mountain to Miaojiang. It took ten days to arrive at the destination.Already close to the destination, Su Zhenzhen led him around again, and finally stopped in a very remote small village.

There are only a dozen households in the village, and they searched for several households to find a vacant house for them to rest temporarily.

During the meal, Su really praised the master's craftsmanship to the sky, so beautiful that the other party asked him to eat more, and specially added another dish for him.

The village is poor, and there is really no spare room. This rare vacant room is for the owner's son to go shopping in the city for a while. .

Lying on the bed, Su Huan was really a little confused, always thinking about the scene he saw that night, not to mention the complicated mood.

Yinzi went into the room after washing, saw Su really staring at the roof in a daze, and said, "Aren't you sleeping yet? I have to hurry tomorrow morning."

"Well, just sleep." Tomorrow they have to climb a few more mountains and enter Miaojiang from the mountains, so as not to be followed by the people of the Demon Realm again.After entering the territory of Miaojiang, one has to be careful, because the people there are always wary of outsiders.

She said yes and went to sleep, but Su really just closed her eyes.The eyes are invisible, but the hearing is extremely sensitive. He heard the sound of the sound of the sound walking in the room, and he never felt that the sound of the soles of the shoes rubbing against the ground would give people goosebumps.There was a sudden darkness in front of his eyes, and it was Yinzi who blew out the candle.Su Huanzhen's eyeballs rolled under his eyelids, and he saw many colorful light spots.

Su Zhenzhen heard another sound of wind caused by the swing of his clothes, his scalp felt numb, and his body seemed to stiffen.But after waiting for a long time, he didn't hear any other sounds, only the beating of his own heart and two shallow breaths remained.One is his breath, slowed down because of tension, and the other is Yinzi's.

Su Zhenzhen opened his eyes and saw Yinzi sitting cross-legged on the stool, already in meditation.

Su Zhenzhen suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

The thatched hut was simple, and a few rays of moonlight shot down from the roof and shone on Yinzi, making his expression less serious than it looked during the day.Because he often frowns, he looks a little old, but if you untangle your brows, you will find that his facial features are very delicate, even beautiful.

Su really stared at him, unexpectedly, his closed eyes suddenly opened, and Yinzi looked at him: "What's the matter?"

Being caught in the face, Su Zhenzhen's face was a little red, he smiled awkwardly, and said: "I can't sleep." He thought for a while, and asked: "You are really Tong Su...I mean, I When did you meet the other clone [your sister]? Have you known each other for a long time?"

"It's been a long time, longer than you think." Yinzi said.

"Then...how did you know each other?"

Yinzi looked at Suzhenzhen, there was something in his eyes that he couldn't understand, Yinzi didn't speak for a long time, for a long while, he just said: "I forgot. I have to hurry tomorrow, go to bed early."

Seeing that Yinzi didn't want to say anything, Su really couldn't ask any more, so he changed his mind and said, "What about you? Is this enough?"

"I'm not used to sharing the bed with others, you can sleep."

Su Zhenzhen didn't say anything anymore, and turned his back to Yinzi.

It's not because he's not used to sharing the bed with others, but because the person who shares the bed is not the Su Huanzhen he is familiar with, that's why he doesn't want to?
