Chapter 42 Chapter 42
When Qin Moyu and Fen Gong were fighting alone, Shen Yebai blocked the corpse leader for Qin Moyu, and Zuo Shu and Shen Yu naturally faced off against the old man.
The old man didn't take Zuo Shu and Shen Yu seriously because he had the corpse leader.
"When you die, I will peel off your bones and peel off your skin to make living dolls. This will be fun enough." The old man stood on the roof and laughed loudly as he watched the two people who were surrounded by corpses fighting and retreating.
"You won't have a chance." Zuo Shu's face was as cold as frost, and she pulled Shen Yu back. The corpse leader's attack narrowly missed Shen Yu's back.
"This is not the way to go. He is consuming our strength." Shen Yu did not dare to relax at all when facing the endless stream of corpses. After a while, he was sweating profusely. Although the strength of the corpses was not high, they were bitten to death by many ants. Elephant, he was already a little out of his depth under the constant wheel battle of the Corpse Chief.
But Zuo Shu didn't have any good ideas for a while. Although the spell she was good at could knock down the zombie boss, the zombie boss didn't know the pain and were numerous. She also had to protect Shen Yu, who was not as strong as herself, so she could only be passive. If the defensive state continues like this, as Shen Yu said, it will fall sooner or later.
--what to do.
Countless thoughts ran through Zuo Shu's mind, and she remembered what Shen Mo had specially given to her before setting off.
It was a piece of jade carved with formations. With it, you could instantly teleport to the place set by the person who carved the formation. Shen Mo said that it should not be used unless it was absolutely necessary. Shen Mo had only made six of them in the past year. .
Shen Mo had a high level of cultivation and had already known that she would be in danger of death during this trip, so he gave this thing to her and asked her to bring Shen Yu back safely.
Just when Shen Yu was accidentally injured by the corpse leader due to exhaustion, and Zuo Shu was about to grit her teeth and urge Yujue to move, something unexpected happened——
"Zuo Shu——"
The man shouted loudly, raised his sword high, jumped up, and fell hard. In an instant, it was like the corpses that were densely packed with water were cleared out of an open space by him.
When the dust and smoke cleared, a man in strong clothes appeared next to Zuo Shu.
"Chen Yi!" Zuo Shu looked at the man who suddenly appeared in disbelief and said in surprise, "Didn't you go back to revive yourself?"
"I'm not worried about you, so I came here to take a look." Chen Yi smiled at her.
He turned to look at the corpse chief who had gathered again, and said half jokingly and half seriously: "Now is not a good time to reminisce about the past. Get these ghosts away first. As per the old rules, who is faster?"
The familiar conversation seemed to give Zuo Mei a reassurance. She rolled her eyes and smiled like a flower: "Let's compare!"
Zuo Shu had no energy left to fight back when facing the corpse chief alone, but it was different with Chen Yi. They had known each other for many years and had an extraordinary tacit understanding. Although they talked about trying to see who could kill more, they couldn't really fight each other. Each one gradually managed to hold its own among the zombies, and even tended to expand outwards.
With the help of the two people, Shen Yu was able to take a breath and then continued to fight against the zombies.
Seeing that the originally good situation was broken by this man who suddenly appeared, the old man was so angry. He glanced at the huge red lotus in the sky in the direction of Fen Gong and Qin Moyu, with fear in his eyes.
But he had no way out. The adult said that he could either defend and kill them, or go back alive and it would be worse than death.
As a last resort, he summoned Shen Yanlan's remaining soul.
Shen Yanlan, who had only been awakened once by Shen Yu, was obviously not as controllable as before. The old man could only keep exerting pressure to force her to join the battle.
Unexpectedly, this time, when Shen Yanlan's remnant soul sensed Shen Yu, she would rather suffer tremendous pain than take another step forward.
"Damn it -" Big beads of sweat flowed from the old man's forehead. At this moment, the red lotus karma fire condensed by Qin Moyu quietly bloomed!
In an instant, the world seemed to be frozen. Red lotus fires the size of thumbs condensed in the air, and instantly scattered into petals, falling with the white snow from the sky.
Nothing happened when the petals fell on the old man and Shen Yu, but unexpected changes occurred when they fell on the remaining souls of the corpse chief and Shen Yanlan.
The corpse chiefs were no longer controlled by the old man to attack Shen Yu and the others, but instead twisted their stiff necks and roared in pain.
The corpse chiefs whose throats were damaged couldn't make much noise, but when the corpse chiefs roared at the same time, it was an indescribably shocking scene.
These roars contained pain, and gradually turned into faint sobs amid the falling red lotus spark petals, as if there were countless souls screaming unwillingly.
Finally, when a corpse leader stopped roaring, his body was frozen, but his ferocious face showed relief.
The roaring sound became smaller and smaller, as if someone had invisibly freed their souls from their rotting bodies.
But the remnant soul of Shen Yanlan became more solid after touching the red lotus karma fire, and turned from light to translucent.
"This..." Shen Yanlan looked at her hands in a daze, then looked up in Qin Moyu's direction as if feeling something.
There, a red lotus karma fire floats in the air, quiet and beautiful.
But soon, the red lotus fire gradually faded and finally disappeared into the sky, followed by Shen Yebai's anxious figure.
The outcome of this battle was self-evident. The old man who had lost all his trump cards was stabbed through the body by Shen Yanlan, which was considered revenge for the other party's driving him.
Shen Yu took back all Shen Yanlan's bones and said goodbye to Shen Yanlan with tears in his eyes.
Shen Yanlan's remnant soul remained in the world because of her obsession. Now that she learned from Shen Yu that the southern country was safe and sound, she was satisfied. She believed that Shen Yu would take her home to reunite with her father and brother, so she calmly disappeared from the world. .
It was a pity that when the remnant soul disappeared, she could no longer take a look at the southern scenery that she desperately protected.
…………
Wind and snow, never-ending wind and snow.
Qin Moyu stood in the wind and snow, forgetting why he came and not knowing where he was going. All he could see was endless ice and snow. Loneliness was like a heavy weight on his body, making him breathless.
So he decided to set off.
He didn't know which direction to go, so he just found a direction and walked away.
The wind and snow will not stop anyway - this thought came to Qin Moyu's mind for no reason.
He walked and walked like this, but somehow he bumped into someone, slipped, and fell to the ground comically.
"Watch the road." A cold female voice.
Qin Moyu looked up and saw a slim woman.
She is a well-deserved beauty who has conquered the country, but her eyebrows and eyes are three points colder than the snow. She is dressed in an aqua blue coat and skirt, which is simple and elegant but does not hide her elegance.
"Did you get knocked silly?" She tilted her head slightly and looked at Qin Moyu with a little doubt, but she stretched out her hand to pull him up.
"Thank you, thank you..." Qin Moyu stammered his thanks, couldn't help but blush, and stretched out his hand nervously,
Her delicate hands held a large hand.
But this hand was not Qin Moyu's. His hand passed directly through the woman. At this time, Qin Moyu realized that he had become transparent at some point, and at the same time, another strange voice sounded.
Qin Moyu blinked, and in front of him was a woman reaching out to another man wearing a dark brown coat, and he fell behind the man, and both of them started talking as if they couldn't see him.
"Thank you... um... my name is Qin, what's the girl's name..." The man said embarrassedly, looking confused as if he had just woken up from sleep.
"feather."
The woman was not surprised by his behavior. She came here specifically to pick him up.
She pulled the man up and opened the oil-paper umbrella she carried with her.
Oil-paper umbrellas are also the simplest and most elegant white umbrellas, but the handles look unusual.
"Go?" she asked.
"Trouble!" The man nodded quickly.
They held an oil-paper umbrella and walked into the wind and snow, leaving Qin Moyu standing alone.
Qin Moyu stood up from the ground at a loss and fell into confusion again.
The wind and snow in front of him suddenly became stronger without warning. Qin Moyu was blinded by the wind and snow. When the wind and snow became smaller, something new appeared in front of his eyes.
It was still full of white snow, but this time there was an additional village in the snow.
Qin Moyu walked in the village. The village was extremely quiet, except for the noise of people not far away.
He followed the sound of people and saw a lively wedding.
This is a simple wedding arrangement, but everyone who participated has a smile on their face. These people are old and young, male and female, and their clothes are different. Some have patterns on their faces, and some have features that are obviously not human. animal parts.
The protagonists of the wedding were a man and a woman, the same two people Qin Moyu had seen before.
The man smiled stupidly and accepted everyone's blessings, and the woman also showed a faint smile.
There is no doubt that they are happy.
Everyone was singing and dancing, but under this happiness, there was still a lingering haze.
The wind and snow started again.
Qin Moyu closed his eyes and waited for the wind and snow to pass before slowly opening them.
This time, what he saw in front of him was not a village, but two people arguing under the wind and snow.
The couple, who had been receiving blessings from everyone just now, were now at war with each other.
"Do you have to go?" Yu held the handle of the umbrella tightly, almost pleading for the first time, "Why... obviously... we already have it... why do we have to leave here..."
When she said it later, she couldn't tell whether it was sadness or resentment.
Qin looked at her deeply and whispered: "It is because of him... and for you that I have to give it a try."
Yu laughed sadly.
"Even if you risk your life for that illusory freedom?" She was so angry that her eyes were covered with mist, but she stubbornly refused to let the tears fall.
"Yes." Qin said firmly, "I must go."
She closed her eyes and faced her resolute lover, she gave up: "If you have to go...then go..."
"I..." Qin hesitated to speak when he saw his wife in such pain. His heart felt like a knife cutting through her, but as he said, he had a reason to go.
Yu stopped him, she took a deep breath and said decisively:
"Then I will treat you as dead. This child will be born without a father."
Yu dropped these words, turned around and left without looking back.
Qin subconsciously wanted to chase her, but he could only watch her getting farther and farther away. He knew clearly that this was impossible, but he could not put down the hand that stretched out to try to retain his lover.
"sorry……"
He murmured to himself, his eyes were red, but he still resolutely embarked on the unknown road.
When they each walked in the wind and snow in opposite directions, and no trace could be seen anymore, the heavy snow gradually became smaller.
The air was still cold. After the wind and snow dissipated, Yu stood in front of Qin Moyu holding an umbrella.
Although they had never met before, Qin Moyu could feel an inexplicable throbbing.
Their eyes met, a reunion that no one expected.
Finally, it was she who broke the silence.
"The road is the road." She reached out and caressed Qin Moyu's face. The infinite tenderness in her eyes dispelled all the coldness, leaving only the purest love.
"It is the road that connects me and him, called love."
Qin Moyu's nose felt sour. He opened his mouth, but no words came out.
"I'm sorry." Her eyes were misty, and a tear fell from the corner of her eye.
I'm sorry that I couldn't grow up with you.
We're sorry we made you think you were abandoned.
There was so much guilt buried deep in her heart that she and he would never be able to make amends in this life.
