Inner Demons

The Red Lady stood in the shadows and looked sideways, looking at Li Yunxin, and smiled playfully: “Didn’t you talk to Li Lang before? The father will refining Jianmu into me within the body, and I can sense this Dongting restriction now. This means that I am the formation eye of this restriction.”

“But although I am a formation eye, I really don’t know how. Out of this restriction. The Lord should have a way, but did not tell me.”

She thought for a while, stretched out her hand to pull a small red flower from the branch on the side, and inserted it in her hair. On the bun, he turned and walked in the front hall: “But Li Lang is so smart, he should know that there is another way to solve this restriction-that is to ruin the formation eye.”

It took a lot of effort to refining the formation eye into my body. If it was in the past, it was harder to destroy the formation eye than to destroy the formation. But now if Li Lang wants to go out…”

She tilted her head. “Just kill me.”

The only daughter of Dongting Monarch, the red lady who is strongly in love with Li Yunxin because of obsession, turned around a bunch of flowers and trees and disappeared. In the moon gate west of the main hall.

Li Yunxin stood on the white sandy beach of Junshan for a while before realizing that he seemed to…

I was about to face another choice.

But he is not sure that he can choose.

Mr. Dongting did this deliberately-this old Demon. Kunwuzi tried to persuade himself to fall to the Confucianism with words and general momentum. Monarch Dongting did the same thing, but more directly and rudely.

Kill the Red Lady and you will be out of Dongting.

But for him, that also meant eliminating the humanity in his heart.

Does Li Yunxin need humanity?

Is there still humanity in his heart?

In fact, he often asked himself these two questions, but he didn’t expect that he would face them directly.

He looked up at the rising sun, feeling a little irritable for the first time.

Not far away came the sound of waves surging. It was probably the evil scorpion at the bottom of the lake turning up the water. But after all, this Dongting has a large area and it is not a small pond. He looked at the Jiao, rushed to the sky with a gust of wind, and walked towards the distance.

If it takes a long, long time to make a choice, then he must first figure out what the Dongting looks like.

In these days, all the more reliable maps are contraband, and the maps that are circulated by the people that seem to him to play like little children are also regarded as treasures. If you want to know what is going on in this area of ​​water that you are temporarily in charge of, it depends on those things. He had to see it himself.

The area of ​​Dongting is hundreds of times the size of Weicheng…

There shouldn’t be only Hong Niangzi who can talk and have a reason, right?

So he began to “patrol” the waters, which may take a long time.

Just didn’t expect this way, it is a full six days.

At first, I wanted to see the hydrology and landforms along the coast. So I looked carefully. He walked the furthest to Nanshan in the past and never moved forward. This time I just flew all the way, not letting go of the scenery by the lake-beyond the restriction, it was already blocked by the fog, but after all, there was still a mile on the shore. There were flowers and trees on the ground, or a shallow beach, or a small wharf.

On the first day, I still found it fresh, but no one was found. By the 2nd day, it gradually became boring. Need to know what is the most fun in the world? It is people that’s all. At this time, people were sparsely populated, and the lake was full of shallows and bushes. He has something on his mind, he can’t calm down, and naturally he has no intention of feeling any nature or scenery. So after watching it all day, I was tired.

So it speeded up by the 2nd day. The scenery passed sou sou under him, and the wind was blowing. He watched carefully while thinking about his own thoughts.

But even so, it took four full days to walk around the cave. He flies in the sky, and the speed can be called fast as lightning-if you rely on the footsteps of people in the world to measure it, it is not uncommon to walk the first half of the four-day journey.

But it seems to be nothing.

In fact, on the first day I crossed Nanshan Mountain, in the evening, I had already left the boundary of Weihe Mansion. In the past few days, I walked through six prefectures and two states. It is logical to say that Dongting is vast and vast, and every state capital should have a dock by the lake. It is always easier to transport goods by water.

But because of Kunwuzi’s magical powers, Li Yunxin only saw the wreckage of a few lakeside docks. No one sees any shadows, and they are dead whenever they want.

The prohibition on the lakeside is still foggy, and the people living on the lakeside must be panicked. They don’t know what’s going on. I don’t know how many fishermen and boatmen live on this cave. To be unsustainable.

On the fourth day, I finally faintly saw the shadow of Junshan in the distance-he made a circle and came back.

At this moment, I realized that just looking at the shore is actually…only a small part of Dongting. If there is any unexpected person or thing in the lake, it must be in the lake.

Junshan is a big island. People really want to move to live there, and it can live in thousands of people’s homes. But this kind of Junshan is in Dongting, even the sesame seeds on a big cake can’t be counted as a pinpoint.

I don’t know how many such islands are in Dongting. Don’t be sure, there are surprises hidden everywhere–

It may also be shocked or horrified.

He then spent another two days flying around Junshan, circle by circle. The result is like flying on the sea-looking around is full of indigo azure water, even the fog on the prohibition is invisible. Relying on the sun as a reference, but it is not very accurate. In the end, it took two days in vain, only to see a reef island protruding from the water, and there was nothing else to gain—and I didn’t want to continue.

I finally understood the size of Dongting.

One or two hundred of these Dongting…will fill up the entire Qing Dynasty, right? !

He spent six full days doing such a “futility” thing, but his frowning brows did not relax.

He has not made a decision yet.

However, an accident occurred on the seventh day.

He found another island. There should have been no one on this island before. Because it is located in the hinterland of Dongting, the surrounding water is deep-it looks like a pillar protruding from the bottom of the lake, lonely on the water.

It is not easy to build a dock around such a deep-water island, and there are no schools of fish, and it is far from the shore. Destined to be no one in this age.

The trees on the island are verdant, and under the seventh day’s bright sun, they look like a turquoise jade that is fast and delicately crafted. The greenery is delightful. Li Yunxin saw this scene, and his irritability went 30% for no reason. This surprised him–

He has been indulging in the anxiety in his heart, and is happy to experience the morbid pleasure that this anxiety brings him. But now he was refreshed-he thought it was probably his subconscious mind that he couldn’t continue like this under the current circumstances.

There are still people waiting for him outside. The Ghost Emperor is in Weicheng, and his Demon disciple is also outside. It is said that Lao Dao Liu ran away with them, but he didn’t know how safe it was.

He agreed with his subconscious decision and decided to escape the last day. After seven days, he wanted to go back to the fighting life where every nerve was tightened all the time.

Life is a battle. Ease means death.

He made such a decision and landed on the island with clouds. As a result, I saw a broken ship on the shore—it was one.

This means that the size of this ship was not small before it was alive, and it was the kind of paintings and boats that could only be owned by the rich. Now, lying on the bank decadently, only the keel remains, and the hull is shattered.

He walked around the ship for a week and saw a line of footprints.

So followed the footprints to the forest. When I walked to the forest, the footprints disappeared on the grass, but there was something else left-some shells were scattered in the grass, as if someone was eating while walking and threw it away. There is no beach on this island. Li Yunxin thought for a while. It was probably the shellfish that had been attached to the ship from the wreckage.

Just follow the shells and see a boulder in the forest.

It is about three 4-Layer high buildings, surrounded by large forests. A whole piece of bluestone, but it’s empty underneath. There was a fire, and there was a man by the fire.

Li Yunxin looked all around and found nothing unusual. So I walked over and took a look at the entrance of the cave.

The fire has been burning for a while, and it is about to go out now. A white-haired old man is lying sideways on the ground, his clothes are still perfect. Seeing that he is not dressed as a fisherman, he looks like a rich man, and he is the man on the boat.

At this moment, the old man woke up. He propped up and looked at the entrance of the cave, squinting, as if the sunlight outside the cave pierced his eyes. Then he raised his hand and rubbed it, sat upright, and stared at Li Yunxin for a while, then said with a dumb voice: “Ahhh…you boy, are you in trouble?”

Li Yunxin didn’t speak, but walked in slowly, and went around the hole. It is said that it is a hole, but it should be said that it is a very wide rock gap. Fire and sunlight illuminate part of it, and there are more hidden in the shadows. It was a sunny day with heat waves outside, but it was cool in this living cave.

The old man didn’t feel surprised to see him like this, he just said with a smile: “The little old man thought that only this ship was in trouble, and didn’t expect there to be people. I wanted to come yesterday. I angered the Dragon King-the pouring rain.”

Li Yunxin walked across to him and squinted at him: “Where are you holy?”

old fogey” Hmm” said.

“Ordinary people in this situation shouldn’t be what you are now.” Li Yunxin said slowly, “This is far from the shore. You should know that fishermen are unlikely to come. You are an old man. Fogey, staying here for a few days is about to die. But it looks so calm and laid back.”

The old man laughed after hearing this. The wrinkles on his face pile up when he smiles, but he looks very kind and kind. My eyes narrowed into a line, and I only looked at people with a little light from the gap between my eyes: “You young man, oh…what is there to be afraid of when you die? Old fogey, I lived to be 18 years old, and everyone said I am an old birthday star. But my old birthday star was tricked into boarding this boat by my family’s children and sent to this lake to say it was for fun… In fact, the bottom of the boat was leaked.”

” The servant guarded me and went up to this shore. My son and daughter went back in the boat. Who expected a heavy rain to fall suddenly… I survived in this cave, but my son and daughter died in the lake— In that case, what else is there to be afraid of death?”

Li Yunxin thought about it carefully, and sat down with a bluestone next to the fire. He picked up a piece of dry wood on the ground and threw it into the fire, said with a smile: “So you are not an ordinary person. People who are rich or noble do this kind of thing? You used to be a nobleman in the government. , Or a hero on the rivers and lakes?”

The old man laughed: “Don’t mention it, don’t mention it. It’s just that the old man looks at Little Young Master and it’s not an ordinary person. Where did he come from?”

p>

“I’m from Eastern Earth Great Tang.” Li Yunxin responded casually, “If you stay on this island for a while, what do you always eat? I saw it when I came. Shells. I seem to have eaten them now too-what do you do later? Hunting for a living? Your body does not look tough.”

old fogey laughed: “old fogey doesn’t like watery smell. Fish. Shrimp and shellfish are normally not eaten-for several decades, it is always bad enough to have grown old and will not be guaranteed in the evening. The shells that Little Young Master saw on the road were not leftovers, but used. It’s just that those who don’t take advantage of it will be thrown away.”

“Speaking of eating, the old man also has an old servant — as I said earlier, he protected me and went ashore. With him, these days Don’t worry about eating.”

Li Yunxin looked at the old man: “He went hunting?”

“I said it was an old servant.” The old man stood up, his stomach gu gu rang twice. This should be rude to him, but now he doesn’t care. He walked slowly to a place where the rock gap was covered by shadows-it was cold and wet, with water dripping slowly down. Maybe a stalactite will form after countless years.

“Where can I go hunting if I am an old servant and no one to take advantage of it?” The old man stopped and sighed, “After being with me for more than 40 years, he always says that this life is mine. Finally In the end, this fate really belongs to me.”

He extended the hand groping for a while in the shadows, and Li Yunxin heard a crisp collision again—he thought it was shells and stones The sound of impact. Then I heard the cutting sound of the capsule.

Then the old man turned around.

Li Yunxin saw a piece of bloody flesh in his hand—the dark white skin was attached to it.

The old man looked at him for a while and became silent. He walked to the fire and laid the meat on the stone slab. With the sharp-edged large shell held in the other hand, he cut it slowly. As he cut, he said: “Wild beasts, either you eat me or I eat you. This Human World is exactly the same. It’s just that people eat better-not eat your meat, eat yours Essence, Qi, and Spirit.”

“But it’s a good thing to look good. Essence, Qi, and Spirit eat, and people are still there. As long as you can’t die, you can always get over.”

“But some people, after living in such a Human World for a long time, they forget that people were like when they were wild beasts—Essence, Qi, and Spirit must be eaten, and human flesh must be eaten. Just call this Human World also eats people, there is no justice. But where is there really justice in this world? Human World is much better than wild beasts.”

“Let us , It has to be better, not worse.” The old man cut off a piece of meat, shiveringly put it on with a small branch, and grilled it over the fire. After roasting for a while, I looked up at Li Yunxin, “You said that if there is one person, one must not be a wild beast-what does this person think?”
