Chapter 13 Qifu
It's like a dream, it's like waking up. The moment I feel that I landed, I'm running endlessly...
If this is the fantasy you created for me, then I would rather sleep in your fantasy and never wake up...
"Nameless, don't leave me, don't..." My feet softened and I fell down.
I can finally control my running body, but I can no longer feel his consciousness. This time, he stopped me from sleeping because he knew that when I woke up, he could no longer stay by my side.
"Girl, are you all right?" A soft cry.
"Cum coo--" A few muffled sounds came from my stomach.
"It turned out that I was hungry." The voice bypassed overhead with a shallow smile.
I looked for a voice and saw a young woman looking at me curiously.
"It's fate to faint in front of my carriage. It's better for a girl to sit in a cold house and have a casual meal. She raised her eyebrows and then said, "It's time to change it." Then he turned around and walked to his carriage.
"Aya, go and put on the cotton-padded robe behind the car for her. On a snowy day, he is actually dressed in a single dress. The woman's voice came again thinly.
I couldn't help sneezing. How far have I gone and how long have I been? How far is he from me? Can I go back?
"Miss!" The maid named Aya doesn't seem to be very willing to take orders.
The young lady whispered in her ear, "Didn't you look at the material of her shabby clothes? It's not a princess or a princess. I'm still waiting for the reward."
Aya muttered a few words, and then went to the car to get the cotton-padded robe.
I looked at the broken purple skirt on my body, and tears fell down again. He tried so hard to save me, how could he be willing to leave me? At that moment, how much I hurt, how much he will hurt. His last kiss was so warm in his memory. But now I only feel that my forehead is cold in addition to being cold.
Aya put the cotton-padded robe on me and helped me up. It seems that she believed their young lady's words. I'm not a concubine or a princess. I followed her carriage obediently.
Nameless, you let me meet them, are you also waiting for me to go back?
The cold house in the young lady's mouth is a mansion. Under her, I enjoyed the treatment of the royal family. I didn't eat and drink rudely. I want to go back, so I want to live. She is very reasonable. She didn't come to see me until I picked up my strength.
"Well, she's still a big beauty. That boy Qi Dong must like it. She looked at me up and down, and then smiled and said, "My name is Qi Xiangyun, and Qi Dong is my eldest brother. I think you must have a lot to ask, right?
I looked at her gratefully and nodded. Qi Xiangyun is also very cheerful and will answer any questions. It turned out that this was a small town located in the south. Although it is close to the south, it is also a place that can be sheltered today. This is really a world of mortals. In this upright winter, snow is flying all over the ground. Qifu is also a famous local official residence.
"You're from the Unknown City, right?" She asked naturally.
"How do you know?"
"Guess!" She glanced at me and said excitedly, "You can't really guess me! Haha, Qi Dong lost again.
"How did you guess?" I couldn't help asking.
"Your shabby clothes. Although it is broken, dirty and smelly, the texture is upper-class goods. I have only seen it in the unnamed city. She took a sip of tea and continued, "I used to go to the city when I was a child. But about ten years ago, the whole city disappeared out of thin air, and no one could find it. Later, it was said that it was sealed by the Protoss.
Ten years ago? The master closed the city ten years ago? No wonder I didn't see the gate when I was in the city. In this way, it should be that the master washed the memories of ordinary mortals in the city. How did the two priests get me in?
"Later, I occasionally heard that someone had seen this city, but they could never enter it again, and no one came out again." She lowered her voice, came to my ear and whispered, "I heard that there are demons and monsters in the city."
"So," she slapped the table, stood up with a bang, and said proudly, "I said you were from the unknown city. Qi Dong was stunned and didn't believe it."
"Since it's a monster, why did you bring me back?" I thought, since there is no bounty, I'm afraid there is another purpose.
"I don't believe in demons and monsters." She looked at me innocently and said, "That's the most beautiful city I've ever seen. It's been circulating in my mind, and I want to find it again."
The next day, Qi Xiangyun took Qi Dong to see me. Among mortals, Qi Dong is also a manly type, tall and strong enough. But the first time he saw me, Qi Dong was really stunned. His face turned white and red. Qi Xiangyun thought he was shy.
That night, Qi Dong secretly came to see me.
"You, you really came from the nameless city." He seems to be talking to himself and waiting for me to give an affirmative answer.
"Yes." I think since he came alone, he either knew something or wanted to know something.
"You, aren't you, on the sacrifice, that..." He said tremblingly.
I was shocked and then happy.
"You have been to the nameless city, right? You should have been there not long ago, right? I was so excited that I danced a little and said anxiously, "How did you get in? Can you tell me?"
His legs softened and he fell to the ground, as if trying to recall something he didn't want to remember. I helped him sit down at the table and poured him a cup of tea. He took a sip gently, and after a calm expression, he began to recall, and never dared to look at me again.
It turned out that, like Qi Xiangyun, he has been lingering about the unknown city since he was a child, and he is curious about the many legends in the city. He looks forward to one day when he grows up and can stay in the city to settle down. However, ten years ago, the city suddenly disappeared. The two brothers and sisters were very sad about this, and it became their wish to find the city. The sacrificial ceremony of the unknown city can cry ghosts and gods and shock the world. It has been a legend since ancient times. Whenever it comes to sacrifice, there are always some strange people and strange people. It is not impossible to get some news and enter the city and go out of the city.
"Finally, one day, I spent thousands of taels of gold and finally got two chances. I took my brother and followed a pair of people to sneak into the city that I had been searching for for a long time. It feels so good to visit the old place again. He was immersed in the gentle drizzle of the day. "The whole city has not changed, just like what I saw when I was a child. The uncles and aunts I used to know still remember me, and there are no demons.
"Until the sacrifice, the wind and sand..." His hands began to tremble. After a long time, he continued, "I don't know where the strong wind came from, not only the wind and sand, but also... sword spirit and murderous spirit... The people around me lost their eyes in an instant, dripping with blood. "
He raised his head slightly, as if he wanted to see me, and lowered his head in fear.
"My brother threw me to the ground and saved me, but he himself..." He choked a little and said in a low voice, "I'm lying motionless in the blood. Later, more people in the city died on the field. I'm afraid that there are too many deaths, and they don't investigate them one by one, and I also drag them out as a corpse. Fortunately, they were not buried. I waited and waited. When the body began to rot and no one wanted to approach, I dug up my brother and dragged him to escape.
"Before, I was glad that I could take the front seat. After that, I realized that if I sat farther and farther away at that time, there would be only wind and sand in my eyes. I was thinking, I'm afraid that that day, we saw something we shouldn't have seen and were punished by God. He took a sip of tea.
"This is not God's punishment." I tried my best to keep myself calm. "Really, it's not your fault."
"Ha ha." He smiled bitterly and said regretfully, "We can watch and enjoy the sacrifice of this living person. This is our retribution, and we deserve it."
Unnamed protects my dignity in his way. I also know that he is working hard to change that world now.
"Can you tell me how you got into the city?" I'll keep asking.
"I met a strange man. He printed a charm on our left and right palms, and then taught us some formulas, saying that it was an ancient wall-piercing technique. The left hand enters and the right hand goes out. It can only be used once, and then the symbol will disappear by itself. He took another sip of tea and recalled, "Only my brother and I escaped from our team. I'm afraid he has become..."
Wall-piercing? ──I hurriedly looked at the palm of my hand, and there were no runes. Didn't the second priest plan to send me out of the city at all? Or what other methods did he use? Master, why did you block the city? Where can I find this wall-piercing technique?
"I want to take you to see my brother." He finally said his purpose, "You are from the Unknown City. Maybe you can save him."
"Good." I think at least I can give him a sweet dream.
Nameless, you want me to survive in this world, but I have to go back and look at you again. You must wait for me.
The next day, I saw Qi Dong's brother, who was the same age as him, sitting quietly in a chair with his eyes covered with white cloth.
"I thought he was dead at that time, and I had to bring a corpse back anyway. After he came back, his family asked for medical treatment in many ways, and finally... did not die. Qi Dong walked over and held his hand and said sadly, "However, it's no different from death."
"He was injured by the soul-eating sword." My heart sank, and I didn't have a soul body, and I didn't even have the qualification to dream.
Even if there is a famous medical doctor in the world who has insured his body, he can't find his soul.
"Do you know the name of the sword?" Qi Dong laughed and said, "That's good. That's good. If you know what the wound is, you will have a chance to save it. Everything in the world is born and restrained.
This sentence woke me up. I remember that the demon queen mentioned that he wanted to comfort this sword with blood day and night. What kind of sword is it? If I can find out what kind of origin, can he not use blood sacrifice?
Qi Dong secretly glanced at me and asked, "I don't know if the girl is willing to help me?"
I nodded.
It turned out that Qifu and the Protoss had a relationship. It was said that in ancient times, when the Protoss killed demons and monsters, they often took Qifu as their stronghold in the south. Over time, Qifu also has contact and understanding with all kinds of gods. In order to pass on this honor from generation to generation, they secretly recorded the gods who lived in the mansion. Descendants are even more painstaking. They not only record the gods who have come, but also collect a large number of gods who have not appeared. After ten thousand years of accumulation, I have also collected several books in the warehouse. Later, in view of their sincerity, the Protoss not only did not commit crimes, but also sent divine soldiers to guard these books day and night. With the protection of the gods, Qifu was more attentive and simply recorded the major events of the six worlds one by one. In the meantime, it is mainly about weapons, and there are also some anecdotes, but they are all legends.
In the following days, I followed Qidong and read a large number of records, from the thousands of divine weapons of the Protoss to the folk bronze guns and iron weapons, but I couldn't find any records of soul-eating swords.
"What the girl said, soul-eating is a sword spirit that hides the heart. It becomes the shape of a sword with the mind, and kills people invisibly." Qi Dong said to himself, "It can also absorb the soul. It should be the thing of the devil."
"I also overheard the master mention it once." I pondered for a moment and then said, "It's not necessary to absorb the soul. I've also been hurt by the soul."
"It doesn't suck the soul, as if the owner of the sword can control it." I can't help thinking of that night, the moment when the soul was peeled off. Didn't he stop it?
"If you suck it in, can you spit it out again?" Qi Dong looked at me. After so many days, he finally dared to look at me and talk.
I shrugged my shoulders and spread my hands. "I haven't tried it. I really don't know."
He fell into meditation again. I also meditated. There is one thing that I can't understand. They have a master's record, but they don't have a universal sword. I clearly remember that there is a record in the nameless city, saying that it is the master's sword. And why hasn't this human version been mentioned?
