Volume 4: Beginning of Spring Chapter 90: Dawn
Fire rained from the sky.
On the ground, lava gushed out.
Hu Yuefeng felt his body floating upwards and away.
He turned his head.
The white idol looked at him.
He wanted to send him back.
"No! Go! Go! Leave me alone!" Hu Yuefeng shouted at the statue. Anger, regret, resentment, unwillingness, despair... all kinds of emotions twisted on his face, ferocious and terrifying.
The last tear of blood flowed from the eyes of the statue.
"Let me go, go..."
Jiang You pulled the strap of his shoulder bag, held the hilt of the sword with his right hand, and walked forward dragging the soft sword.
Sparks flew wherever the soft sword passed.
Walk over the mountains and step into the void.
He walked forward steadily step by step.
After seeing Hu Yuefeng turn into a black dot and disappear from sight, the statue turned around.
Jiang You's body center of gravity sank slightly, his knees slightly bent, and he swung the soft sword forward. A black arc of light flashed and scratched the chest of the statue.
The statue was broken in the middle.
The upper body fell, dropped, and shattered...
Suddenly, a thick, black, smelly liquid gushed out of its body, and the liquid twisted into various horrible shapes. Jiang You saw countless faces inside, and the expressions on each face were twisted and terrified. These countless faces rushed towards Jiang You.
Jiang You didn't move.
He stood very straight.
When the ghost face was still an inch away from his body——
A blinding heat wave poured down from the clouds, engulfing the ghost face, and a beam of red light shot out from it, shooting towards the remaining lower half of the statue.
Hu Yuefeng stretched out his hand, trying to grab something, but caught nothing.
The force that had been holding him back was gone.
He fell downward.
Fell into a channel where light beams were rotating in a spiral.
He closed his eyes.
After returning to Yanjing...
Suddenly, he felt his body stop, and then a hand reached into the passage and pulled him out. He saw a short, round face wearing black-framed glasses, with beads of sweat on his forehead and a kind smile.
After Jiang You pulled him out, he sat on the ground panting. He stared at the beam of light and said, "It looks great, right?"
Hu Yuefeng managed to half sit up, coughed a few times and said, "Kill me."
"If you don't look now, you won't be able to see your brother for the last time."
Hearing this, Hu Yuefeng raised his head.
He saw a person in the red light, with the same facial features and the same...
He wants to go over.
He found that he couldn't move his body.
He watched the person in the light gradually fade away, become smaller, and turn into a baby, before finally disappearing completely...
He heard a hoarse, staccato sound coming from his throat.
Jiang You's voice rang in his ears, "Let's go together."
"He could have left. He could have gone anywhere. He..."
"I'm sorry, I have to find a way back, someone is waiting for me."
The tears fell and evaporated before they hit the ground.
Hu Yuefeng looked up and watched the red light flowing freely between heaven and earth.
He said, "Send me away."
"good."
Hu Yuefeng's body began to dissipate, starting from his hands and feet, then his torso, neck, and finally his head.
He kept looking in the direction his brother disappeared.
The wind blew.
Dust was raised.
Jiang You stood up.
He waited for a while, and then a small person came towards him from a distance, walking unsteadily and shakily.
He walked up to Jiang You.
His face was bruised and covered in mud.
He raised his head.
Jiang You took a step forward and picked him up.
…
Zhuang Zekun led Guan Nuo and walked forward in the yellow sand following the guidance of the spider silk.
The spider silk disappeared.
The yellow sand also disappeared.
Zhuang Zekun raised his head and saw a wooden sword lying in front of him.
He recognized Tang Butian. He looked around and saw Sun Yu, Zhao Cai, and a piece of camphor tree branch with a light golden color stuck in the ground.
"Chief, it's me." Guan Nuo said.
"We met Jiang You, who asked us to follow the spider silk, and we ended up here." Zhuang Zekun explained to Tang Butian.
After Tang Butian confirmed the authenticity of Zhuang Zekun and Guan Nuo, she put away the wooden sword. She turned around, walked to the camphor tree branch and sat down, closing her eyes and quietly absorbing spiritual power.
Zhuang Zekun helped Guan Nuo sit down on the tree branch.
"What about Brother Jiang? Did he find Jiang Mo?" Sun Yu asked Zhuang Zekun.
Zhuang Zekun shook his head.
"We met Hu Yuefeng," Guan Nuo saw Tang Butian open her eyes and look at him, and he continued, "Brother Jiang helped us stop him."
"Sun Xiu is dead." Tang Butian said.
Zhuang Zekun was stunned for a moment. When he was about to ask more questions, Tang Butian closed her eyes again.
After hesitating for a moment, Zhuang Zekun also sat down and began to absorb spiritual energy.
After a while, he felt the temperature around him begin to rise. He opened his eyes and saw Zhao Cai walking around the branches nervously. The ground shook. The sky suddenly turned red and the air became scorching.
"I'll go out and take a look."
As he spoke, Zhuang Zekun walked into the yellow sand again. He saw in the distance, lava was gushing out from the ground, red air waves were falling from the sky like waterfalls, and the sound of explosions continued ...
He immediately turned around and walked back.
Tang Butian also stood up.
Zhuang Zekun looked at Tang Butian and said, "This world is beginning to collapse." He glanced at the branches and said, "We have to find a way to leave."
"How to leave?" Tang Butian asked.
"Use its power," Zhuang Zekun pointed to the branch, "Guan Nuo has figured out the way out, let's use its power to go back."
He saw the suspicion in Tang Butian's eyes.
He said: “This is the only way at the moment.
"Wait for Jiang You to come back."
The ground began to shake again.
Guan Nuo felt the sweat on his forehead flowing down one by one. His injured shoulder became more and more painful. He opened his mouth and breathed with difficulty.
The ground also began to crack due to the high temperature.
The golden color flowing on the branches dimmed a little.
"It's too late, we have to leave immediately," Zhuang Zekun said, looking at Guan Nuo: "Guan Nuo, can you tell fortunes now?"
Guan Nuo nodded. He took out three copper coins and was about to throw them up when he saw Tang Butian stood up. She drew a circle around the branch with the tip of her knife. Then she held the knife and looked at Zhuang Zekun, "Jiang You, Jiang Mo, you haven't come back yet."
"If this place collapses, we will all die here. As long as we can get out, we will have a chance..."
"This branch belongs to him." said Tang Butian.
"Before I came in, Huang Juan told me that Hu Yuefeng and I were the same. I couldn't understand why she said that until I saw Jiang You just now," Zhuang Zekun examined Tang Butian's expression and asked, "Did you know?"
"I don't understand what you say. I never understand what you say," Tang Butian did not avoid Zhuang Zekun's gaze. "Since I don't understand, then I won't listen. I only look at what is done, not what is said. The branch is his. He saved me. He saved you and Guan Nuo. These are what he did."
"Uncle Zhuang, let's wait for Brother Jiang to come back." Guan Nuo put the copper coins back into his pocket.
"What if he doesn't come back?"
"You're not lying, are you?" Sun Yu interrupted, "It seems that in places like this, what you see and hear may not be true. It's just your brain using common sense to try to explain it..."
"Who told you that?" Zhuang Zekun asked.
Sun Yu thought for a moment, "It seems so. I remember that it was Brother Jiang who told me that if I couldn't come back," he said seriously, "Before I came, the section chief told me that it was dangerous, but I still wanted to come because I felt that although I am an ordinary person, if something like this happens, ordinary people can only wait for you to protect them and do nothing. I don't think this can happen," Sun Yu smiled, "Since the section chief thinks I can contribute and be of some use, I want to come."
"Meow!"
Zhaocai called out.
The yellow sand completely dissipated.
Jiang You limped in holding Jiang Mo, looking dusty and dusty. "You're all here, that's good. My feet hurt so much."
"Where is Hu Yuefeng?" Zhuang Zekun interrupted Jiang You.
"He died, but before he died he showed me a way. He was a very nice person."
A beam of light fell from the cracked sky, and a passage appeared in front of them.
"Let's go back quickly. My nostrils and mouth are full of dust. I need to take a bath and let the bath master rub off my skin from head to toe, and then have a big meal..." Jiang You walked to the branch of the camphor tree. He stretched out his hand and pulled out the branch. The roots had already grown out. He casually threw the branch into his bag and walked towards the passage.
As he walked past Tang Butian, he heard Tang Butian whisper, "Kobe beef."
He laughed.
Tang Butian, Sun Yu, Zhao Cai, Guan Nuo and Zhuang Zekun all followed him and walked into the beam of light.
They were sucked into the passage.
Jiang You held Tang Butian's hand. She saw the whole world explode from the middle, with magma splashing everywhere. It was spectacular and magnificent. But at the moment before the passage was closed, everything became silent. The sound and the light were all swallowed up by the darkness and returned to nothingness.
She turned her head.
The light around her gradually dimmed, and she saw a wooden bridge. Raindrops fell on the bridge, and the mountains on both sides were washed emerald green by the rain.
There are also some people, Zhong Yan, Su Wangshu and others, who are standing in front of the collapsed building with serious expressions...
Guan Qingtong suddenly raised her head and looked at the sky. She seemed to feel something...
It's dawn.
