Chapter 330 "Day by Day" (4600 words)
Zheng Xiu was slapped into the "entrance" by the orange cat.

At the same time, this is the place that Zheng Xiu considered as an "exit".

It's just that when Zheng Xiu stepped here, a sense of familiarity like returning home came to his heart, he suddenly understood, no.

It's not "always dark" here.

Perhaps originally, in the original time and space, the back of this mirror should have led to constant darkness, but the mirror that appeared in the red dot world was different from the previous "mirror".

Illusory black streamers of light rushed from top to bottom at a place infinitely far away from Zheng Xiu, forming a deep black light curtain.

Zheng Xiu is surrounded by the same "scenery", and the streams of black streamers that are constantly washing down are like waterfalls. Since Zheng Xiu entered here, there has been no change, as if conveying "something" from time immemorial. kind of information".

Zheng Xiu has been here for a while.

He is surprised, confused, thinking, shocked, and digesting.

The orange cat slapped him here.

"I am dead?"

A ridiculous idea came to Zheng Xiu's mind.

He thought of the orange cat's carefree wave before leaving, and the words "You'll understand once you die."

The last scene that was frozen before Zheng Xiu entered this place was the rampaging [Flower] bringing tentacle hell to the cute little orange cat.

He didn't think that Orange Cat wanted to harm him, not because of Orange Cat's behavior, but because of the relief in Orange Cat's eyes before leaving. She seemed to understand something, but she couldn't explain it, so Zheng Xiu could only witness it with his own eyes and understand it.

"Annie is dead?"

"Isn't it?"

Zheng Xiu couldn't help imagining the tragedy and tragedy of "Jade Feet Fighting Tentacles".

Lady Anne always speaks of herself as awesome, and she doesn't pay attention to mere gods.But Zheng Xiu actually didn't have the nerve to point it out. Her tattered "authority" can be seen to be at the end of its battle.

When Zheng Xiu realized that he was actually worried about the safety of an orange cat, he couldn't help laughing at himself and went deep.

He didn't feel any discomfort here, rather, he felt like a fish returning to the sea at the moment. The scenery here was extremely strange, but it gave him a sense of "it should be like this".

Every time Zheng Xiu took a step, ripples appeared under his feet.He seemed to be stepping on the water, Zheng Xiu looked down, the circle of ripples was composed of black halos, and the halos seemed to be tiny words on the microscopic structure, like numbers, and like distorted symbols , can’t see clearly.

As Zheng Xiu walked forward, the ripples gradually formed a... "road".

Where there was no road before, a road was found under Zheng Xiu's feet.

"Gateway?"

Zheng Xiu was still thinking about where this place was, and seeing the "road" appearing under his feet, his mind was drawn to it.

The winding and twisting road extends deep into the depths, and there seems to be a fog in front of Zheng Xiu's eyes. When Zheng Xiu walks over, the fog will disperse, revealing the deeper scenery.

A series of pale black translucent chains staggered in the void, from top to bottom, penetrating downward from the infinitely high "sky", freezing the "black streamer" that should have flowed not far away.

The twisted black light was bound by chains and twisted into a cocoon-like "thing".

The black cocoon has an irregular appearance, the surface of the cocoon is full of ugly and hideous bumps, and there are faint lights and shadows flickering inside.

"Is that the knot Annie was talking about?"

Zheng Xiulue pondered for a while, and leaned forward.

The surface named "knot", where light and shadow flow.After Zheng Xiu approached, he gradually saw clearly the "content" flashing in the light and shadow.

His face changed.

Zheng Xiu saw Baili Village.

The origin of everything.

Wang Cangyun was covered in blood, heavy rain poured down, the human-faced carps were rampant in Baili Village, and the villagers went crazy. Wang Cangyun was eaten by countless human-faced carp, and the bright red flowers grew wildly, dragging the wailing Wei Chen into the abyss.

No one rescued them, Wang Cangyun did not meet the strong man named Zheng Shan, and Wei Chen was not saved because of Wang Cangyun's bravery.

Baili Village was swallowed by Ever Darkness.

This is a "phenomenon".

An ordinary phenomenon.

Zheng Xiu didn't understand why a "knot" was formed here.

Zheng Xiu closed his eyes, recalling the past of fighting side by side with Wang Cangyun in Baili Village, as if it was yesterday.

bass.

Another road stretched out silently under Zheng Xiu's feet.

The fog cleared in that direction.

Zheng Xiu was taken aback, he turned his head and glanced at the "knot" of "Wang Cangyun", and then looked at the other side of the "road", where there was also a faint "knot".

Countless chains pierced through the void, locking the black streamer that washed away.

The second knot is equally ferocious and ugly, and there are also light and shadows flickering in it.

In the second "knot", there appeared a past that Zheng Xiu had never seen before.

A fast horse gallops through the night.

Surrounded by barren mountains and rivers, bandits are rampant.

A bloodied guard placed a baby girl and a bag of silver in front of a house.

As soon as the screen changed, bandits entered the village, and flames engulfed everything.

The girl hid among the corpses, got up from the corpses after a few days, and staggered into the night.

The road under Zheng Xiu's feet continued to extend deeper.

"and also?"

Zheng Xiu was stunned.

He didn't touch those two "knots" rashly.

Zheng Xiu vaguely noticed that the two "knots" were not things that could be touched at will.

Sure enough, as we walked deeper along the winding and twisting road, the fog parted, and the surrounding area became even darker.

There was obviously no trace of light here, but as Zheng Xiu walked deeper and deeper, he did feel the sense of "a road getting darker and darker as he went."

After walking a few steps, it was still a familiar thing. The interlaced illusory chains solidified the black streamer, and the streamer roughly twisted in the void, forming a third knot.

The scenery in the first "knot" changed Zheng Xiu's expression; the appearance of the second "knot" surprised and doubted Zheng Xiu; when Zheng Xiu stood in front of the third "knot", he had already vaguely noticed this What is the place, and what is the flickering picture in the "knot".

The third "knot".

It snowed heavily overnight, a woman with a good face and a graceful and luxurious temperament led a girl in simple clothes, thin face, and sallow skin, and slammed on the door of Zheng's house.

The girl's eyes were dull, indifferent and empty.

Zheng Haoran and his wife opened the door, and the woman knelt down.

Zheng Haoran shook his head with a look of embarrassment on his face.

Zheng Haoran's response made the woman burst into tears, kneeling and pulling Zheng Haoran's boots.

The girl pursed her lips tightly, clenched her fists tightly, her pitted nails were embedded in her palms, and a flower bloomed from the bright red blood on the pure white snow.

In Chuntao's arms, the infant was crying in the heavy snow.Chuntao was a new mother and looked anxious. Zheng Haoran ignored the kneeling woman and frantically comforted the baby with his wife.

The girl with a stern face curled her lips, stepped forward silently, and stretched out her hand towards the couple.

The girl took the swaddle with jerky movements, a faint smile appeared on her stern face.

The crying baby not long ago stretched out his chubby little hand towards the girl.

The baby is laughing.

Snow stopped.

The girl grasped that chubby little hand and blew a breath.

The baby giggled, eyes sparkling.

There was also a gleam of light in the girl's empty eyes, and she gently pressed her face against the baby's forehead.

Zheng Haoran sighed softly, and nodded towards the woman kneeling on the snow.

Zheng Haoran smiled and said a word.

Zheng Xiu couldn't hear it.

But the mouth shape seems to be: they are destined.

……

Zheng Xiu silently came to the fourth "knot".

He doesn't know how many "knots" are twisted "here", and he doesn't know what lies at the end of the road, deep in the mist.

He is like a bystander at the moment, looking at the trajectory of other people's life-a "trajectory" that should not have happened, but is deeply twisted here at this moment.These should not have happened in the original world line, but all the mistakes caused by him, Monk, and Feng Bei broke into the [Ancient Battlefield] and rescued Zheng Haoran.

Yes, wrong.

When Zheng Xiu came to the fourth knot, he had already noticed that the root cause of these "knots" seemed to be his confusion, one of his decisions, and one mistake after another.

If he didn't think of Fengbei, he didn't think of everything.He has both parents, his new wife has a delicate voice and a soft body, and his family is harmonious and happy.

But the trajectories of those who were once involved with him have undergone earth-shaking changes.

Flashing image on the fourth "knot".

Zheng Haoran came back from the northern barbarian battlefield wearing broken armor.

After returning, Zheng Haoran couldn't see the joy of winning the battle at all, and his face was terribly gloomy.

In the yard, he waved his fist up and down, yelling at the girl and Chuntao like crazy.

Zheng Haoran practiced boxing on the dummy and ran out to the mountains to practice boxing until he was exhausted and dripping with blood.

Zheng Haoran began to drink heavily, getting drunk day and night, and beat the furniture to pieces.

When he learned that the woman had hanged herself in the palace, he looked neither happy nor sad.

One day someone in the palace came to ask, the girl was dragged away crying and brought back to the palace.

The child gradually grew up.

Zheng Haoran's body is getting worse and worse, getting thinner and thinner.

He grabbed his ignorant and enlightened son and asked with stern eyes, the young boy shook his head, Zheng Haoran looked up to the sky and smiled, and with a smile, he pushed the boy to the ground and beat him up.

Chuntao broke in crying and had a fierce quarrel with Zheng Haoran.

……

Zheng Xiu understood.

Erniang was once fostered in Zheng's family.

But because the father survived, Zheng Xiu and Wei Ruyi did not become "siblings".

To Zheng Haoran and Zheng Xiu, she is just a "princess" hiding in the Zheng family incognito.

Zheng Xiu remembered that in the Wei royal family at that time, there were several princesses who ranked higher than Wei Ruyi.Now that Wei Ruyi has become the eldest princess with a cruel temper, it is not difficult to imagine what kind of cruel transformation she has experienced after returning to the palace.

Kill the princess in front, and she will naturally become the eldest princess, step by step to today.

She even... hated Zheng Haoran.

Zheng Xiu felt cramps in his chest. Before Annie photographed him, Zheng Xiu heard Wei Ruyi say "Zheng Haoran's son".She clearly knows her surname, and she even hugged herself when she was a child. During Zheng Haoran's Northern Expedition career, they were like siblings, but they met again after many years. When Wei Ruyi faced him, she had only unclear Indifference and sympathy, even hiding a trace of... hate.

The road is still going forward.

The fog was lifted bit by bit.

Stepping on the ripples and walking in this strange space, Zheng Xiu seemed to be walking his own "path" in a trance.

Confusion, annoyance, pain, helplessness, sadness, all kinds of negative emotions could not stop entwining in his chest, Zheng Xiu continued to walk along the road under his feet like a walking dead, and he gradually couldn't remember why he came here.It seems that he simply wants to go to the depths, to the end, to see what is in the deepest part, what is entrenched there, what is it, can be the "answer" to everything.

The fifth knot was coldly bound in the air by illusory chains. Looking at the "knot" from a distance, Zheng Xiu suddenly stopped and looked back.

The dark space, the rushing light, the boundless void, the deep fog, the winding road, and the ugly knots.

This scene made Zheng Xiu feel as if he had seen a new doorway, and the "knots" that could not be loosened were like "doors" that were tightly closed in the doorway.

……

"We exist, we can see through the outside, and look directly at the essence and core."

……

"Outside and essence?"

Annie's words lingered inexplicably in his ears. If the path he is walking at this moment is actually a "doorway", if the twisted "knots" are "doorways", does this mean that he can actually walk a new path?

……

Zheng Xiu walked in the flowing light, walking on the vast void.

Each "knot" flashes the lives and stories of different people.

Every story is closely related to Zheng Xiu.

The sixth knot.

In the heavy rain, on the barren hills, Qing Shisan was crying bitterly holding the corpse of the red lotus root.

The seventh knot.

Qing Shisan entered the palace with one blow and cut the second prince to pieces with a thousand cuts. He was surrounded by the guards and lay laughing in a pool of blood.

Eighth knot.

For wealthy families, their courtyards are filled with festive gifts.Outside the house were the extremely flattering smiling faces of a pair of parents. Inside the house, Jing Xuemei looked desperate and ended the rest of her life with a bunch of white silk.

The ninth knot.

The impoverished princess of the Da Yue clan from the Western Regions disguised herself as a man, with horrific scars on her face. She stole buns from a black shop in the wild, and her legs and hands were broken, and she rolled down the cliff.When she opened her mouth, the white teeth and red blood were clearly distinct, and she grinned and bit down the last bite of steamed bun in her life.

Tenth knot.

Yan Jiji, who was in charge of building the imperial mausoleum, looked desperately at the broken dragon stone closed in front of him, and knelt on the ground bit by bit.

No.11 knots.

Jiang Gaoyi was severely beaten in the prison.

No.12 knots.

No.13 knots.

……

Zheng Xiu walked faster and faster, the anger and confusion in his heart gradually extinguished and became numb as the road went deeper, like a basin of ice water poured down on a snowy day.

Under his feet, at first there was a road, and then branches appeared, each branch with a different "knot".

Too much, too much, too much.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Zheng Xiu wouldn't have known how big the "consequences" his seemingly natural decision had caused.

"I……"

Zheng Xiu pushed through the fog all the way and walked forward.He couldn't help muttering to himself, asking the cold void and streamer: "Is it wrong?"

No one answered Zheng Xiu's question.

wrong.

"Everything" is "wrong".

It's not that anyone is wrong, but the existence of the "red spot" itself is "wrong".

It was the world that was wrong.

"Wrong, needs to be...[corrected]."

He couldn't remember how long he had walked, nor how far he had traveled.There is no sun, moon, stars, or alternation of the sun and the moon here, and the unchanging illusory scenery seems to smooth out people's sense of the passage of time.

until.

Zheng Xiu stood in front of a "lofty mountain".

Thousands of chains imprisoned the knotted black beard, as if there was a huge hand, a hand more terrifying than the orange cat's jade feet, forcibly twisting everything in Zheng Xiu's field of vision into a "bundle."

a mountain.

A huge "knot".

The "knot" itself is a mountain.

Zheng Xiu looked up blankly. He didn't know what was on the "mountain", but he was eager to know what was on it.

He begins to climb.

Fingernails were digging on the knot, and Zheng Xiu felt that he was holding a piece of cold meat.

A long time, a long time, a long time later.

Zheng Xiu came to the "top of the mountain".

Countless twists are twisted into a huge "knot" here. The "knot" is surrounded by scarlet and ferocious tentacles, radiating in all directions.

It looks like a black "sun".

Zheng Xiu stepped forward.

In "Scorching Sun", there is a desert of yellow sand in the distance, mirages, distorted light and shadow, and an endless horizon.

A ragged figure staggered across the desert.At sunset and sunrise, "he" gets closer and closer from a small point in the "scorching sun".

He started climbing.

Climb and climb.

He is getting closer.

Getting closer and closer to Zheng Xiu's vision from "Scorching Sun".

I don't know how long, how long. "He" climbed to the top of the mountain, and Zheng Xiu was as close as a mirror through a mirror.

He raised his head.

unkempt.

Under her long, disheveled hair, a pair of eyes as pure and flawless as a newborn baby's were revealed.

……

……

"It is said that in ancient times there was a man named Zhu who worshiped the scorching sun. He ran towards the scorching sun. He crossed thousands of mountains and rivers. He climbed a very, very, very high mountain."

"There he is, chasing the sun."
