"Xiao Huier, I have been thinking about how great it would be if you had an independent soul. Even if you don't, I hope you can always be by my side. I don't need to go back to reincarnation. We will play the game Let’s start from the beginning, and play those games that we have not played seriously.”/p
Mu Ziyun sat alone in the long street, listening to the bustling noises on the street. He was talking to himself, feeling empty in his heart. Ji Le and Xiao Huier were not by his side, and when they finished the penultimate game , Xiao Hui'er disappeared. Mu Ziyun didn't look for it, and couldn't find it, because Xiao Hui'er really disappeared. /p
"Xiao Hui'er, I know you don't want this to end. We can't live without each other. I'll just stay in this ghost country. So what if my soul is gone. We have been together for almost three thousand years, and I can't live without you. "Wandering,/p
Mu Ziyun walked sadly on the long street, between the various floors. Even after three thousand years, he had not completed one or two tenths of the long street of Ghost Country. However, he was like a lonely wandering soul, with no distractions and no thoughts. Wandering to the earth among the fantasies of countless dead souls. Two thousand eight hundred and fourteen years have passed outside the earthly world. According to what the old tree demon said, in three thousand years, Xiao Hui'er's wish will start over again, and her feelings for Mu Ziyun will disappear. , she is Mu Ziyun’s only companion, but Mu Ziyun is no longer her companion. /p
Mu Ziyun was escaping. He thought that the two of them were tacitly choosing to escape, but he didn't know that Xiao Hui'er had really disappeared. /p
Another thirty-six years passed in the human world, and Mu Ziyun became a "beggar" in the ghost street in rags. He only remembered Xiao Hui'er in his mind, and the rest was just the instinct of survival. When he was hungry, he would go to the fantasy restaurant of the dead souls, and when he was tired, he would collapse. Just sleep, because at least the thought of Xiao Hui'er exists, so although he is close to the point of relief, he can still maintain his soul body. /p
He hadn't seen the old tree demon for a long time, but the old tree demon finally found him. /p
Mu Ziyun was sitting in the "beggar's stall" beside the brick wall, looking at the middle-aged man with green hair in front of him with drooped eyelids. His words were no longer easy to speak. Over the years, his fatigue had reached its peak, so in the earthly world Although only thirty-six years had passed, more than six hundred years had passed in his heart. Mu Ziyun stumbled and said, "You are an old tree."/p
"Exactly."/p
"How could you be like this?"/p
Lao Shu squatted down opposite Mu Ziyun and said: "This is the ghost country. My desire to temper my body can be realized here. Although it is all false, this feeling makes me very satisfied."/p
"You came to see me?" Mu Ziyun said listlessly. /p
"Except for you, I don't know any other dead souls."/p
Mu Ziyun turned over, lay down on his side with his arms as pillow, and replied: "What do you want from me?"/p
The old tree demon sighed and said: "You shouldn't look like this. This is very different from when I saw you back then."/p
"Back then," Mu Ziyun's eyes turned gray, "What was it like back then?"/p
The old tree demon looked at the ground absentmindedly and said: "Back then, you and them stood at the pinnacle of all worlds. I couldn't look into your eyes because they were filled with a sea of blood formed by killing. Hey, maybe this is Juqi Duoduo of the Tang Dynasty said retribution, poor guys, poor gods."/p
Mu Ziyun's mind couldn't move and went blank. As for what the old tree demon said, he might not be able to hear it at all. /p
The old tree demon knew that Mu Ziyun was now so sluggish that he felt relieved and was about to disappear. It turned to him and said, "Where's Ji Le's little Huier? Have you looked for her?"/p
"Xiao Hui'er" Mu Ziyun finally regained some energy. He shook his head slowly and replied: "Why are you looking for her? We have agreed not to meet each other again. When three thousand years are over, we can start over."/ p
"Three thousand years." The old tree demon nodded and sighed: "Actually, it's not for her, but for him. Alas, find her. This is not an agreement. The Lord of the Ghost Kingdom has disappeared for a long time."/p
"I know she is hiding on purpose. We don't want to leave each other."/p
"You are wrong." The palms of the old tree demon turned into more than a dozen vines. He pulled Mu Ziyun up, got close to his face, and said, "Do you still remember what we saw in Ji Le Xiao Hui'er's fantasy world? Her past?"/p
"Remember, she has no soul," Mu Ziyun said weakly, "She is just the crystallization of resentment."/p
"I said that's not the case," the old tree demon continued: "The group of girls played a game in the end. They had played the game secretly many times before, but only in the last game, among the participants was - Thorn Happy Xiao Hui'er."/p
"So what?" Mu Ziyun shrugged mockingly, "They are all Xiao Huier, hehehe"/p
"No, that means that that game is truly the game that belongs to Ji Le Xiao Hui'er. You have accompanied her for more than two thousand eight hundred and fifty years and played thousands of games, but in fact, you have always accompanied her forty It’s just a lot of dead souls, this last game is the true wish of the Lord of the Ghost Kingdom.”/p
Mu Ziyun turned his head and looked at the old tree demon blankly. /p
The old tree demon's eyes were still green, and he said: "The wishes of previous ghost country lords are almost impossible to realize. Jile Xiao Huier's wish must wait until the group of dead souls in her body have played to their fullest before they have a chance to be realized. Therefore, she met many playmates, but no one could survive the thousands of games before that."/p
"Find her! Find Xiao Huier!" Mu Ziyun said in a daze. /p
"Yes, all the games before this were the fun of the dead souls. We always thought that Xiao Huier was fake and a carrier, but she had her own wish, even if it was given to her by the group of dead souls back then. Yes, but at least it proves that part of that body belongs to Ji Le Xiao Hui'er."/p
"The game has just begun." Mu Ziyun's face trembled slightly, and there was a long sadness in his eyes. His emotions were restored, "The little Hui'er now is the real little Hui'er, the little Hui'er I have been looking forward to. , wish is a game, and the game is to find her.”/p
"Go find it!" The old tree demon stood up. /p
"Where to find it!" Mu Ziyun jumped up suddenly, "I can't leave the ghost country, I am a dead soul."/p
"Ghost country? Ha" the old tree demon said with a smile: "Do you think she is outside the ghost country? Or hiding in the long streets of the ghost country? Think about who she is and what she was in the first place."/p
"She was originally a puppet." Mu Ziyun lowered his head and said, "She was hidden somewhere in Daze Mountain by those girls."/p
Mu Ziyun and the old tree demon looked at each other, and Mu Ziyun almost roared. He said: "How can I find Daze Mountain? Even if I can get out of the ghost country, there is still Daze Mountain in the world, but for tens of thousands of years, that The Muppets should have turned to dust long ago.”/p
"It all depends on you." The old tree demon began to turn into green leaves from his lower body and gradually disappeared. Before leaving, he said again: "Three thousand years have passed in this world, and everything is in vain. You don't have much time left." /p
After the old tree demon disappeared, Mu Ziyun walked onto the long street. He looked at the endless ghost country, the endless ghosts dreamed of the endless world, but where was the Daze Mountain he wanted to go to? He started running, running During this period, the beggar's clothes peeled off all over his body, and the original clothes crawled back on him, and he became energetic again. /p
He asked questions one by one. He could not finish asking the dead souls of a street for ten years, and the answer never came. /p
Mu Ziyun imagined Daze Mountain based on his memory, and then searched the entire mountain and found tens of thousands of puppets. They all looked like the puppets from back then, but they were all the result of Mu Ziyun's wish. None of them it is true. /p
He had no choice, and the old tree demon never came to him again. He built a sleeping shed in front of the imaginary Kuawa Temple in Daze Mountain, and later built a thatched house. Later, he burned the earth and built a tile-roofed house. He became an out-and-out mountain man, eating fruits on the mountain, growing vegetables and crops, and grazing cattle and sheep. His skin became dark and rough, his eyes were deeply sunken, and every plant and tree on Daze Mountain was also different. It has become much more detailed. In the blink of an eye, two thousand nine hundred and forty years have passed in the earthly world, and there are still sixty years left, and everything is in vain. /p
Mu Ziyun held the hoe in both hands, sat in front of the tile-roofed house, looked at the temple, pursed his chapped lips, and said to the native: "God, please let me find her, I know she has been waiting , like me, waiting alone, she may still be buried in the loess, and the poisonous insects before autumn are crawling on her body. If there is a heavy rain like last night, her whole body will be dyed earth color, and she will be covered by it. The mud flow pushed it into the ditch and drifted into the frozen river. How I wanted to bear it for her."/p
Day after day, year after year, Mu Ziyun's hair became gray. He imagined himself to be a mountain man in Daze Mountain, giving up everything in the past. After becoming an ordinary person, he would also live, grow old, get sick and die. /p
His body was stooped, and he was hobbling along the mountain road with difficulty on crutches. On the mountainside were rows of small saplings that he planted back then, and now they have grown into towering trees. Cattle and sheep were grazing at the foot of the mountain, and the mountains were covered with fruits. When it was ripe, it fell straight to the ground and rotted into mud. His eyes were blurred and there were not many teeth left. /p
Finally, on this day, when the daylight was just right, a figure walked up the road out of the mountain that had never been set foot on before. Of course it was a dead soul, but she looked very much like a living person. /p
The elderly Mu Ziyun, who had lived in isolation for a long time, was as panicked as if he saw a devil when he saw outsiders. He almost knelt in front of Kuawa Temple, begging for God's blessing. /p
The woman came over and stood next to Mu Ziyun. She was in her forties or fifties and cautiously asked Mu Ziyun: "Old man, why are you alone? Where are your sons?"/p
Mu Ziyun said inarticulately: "Who are you?"/p
"I'm from the mountains, from the Jiang family, and we are all from the Kuawa tribe."/p
"I, I, I am not, I am an outsider."/p
"There are no outsiders in Daze Mountain, old man, you are confused, don't be afraid." The woman came over and helped Mu Ziyun up, and said: "I don't remember which family you are from, let's go back to my house. ."/p
"Nowhere is there a home." But after Mu Ziyun was supported and walked dozens of steps, he was shocked to find neat rows of tile-roofed houses on the mountainside. In the courtyard of the tile-roofed houses were lively Kuwa tribesmen. The woman took him back to her home. The male owner didn't know who the old man was, but they all agreed, like women, that he was a poor old man who had lost his son. It turns out that the woman is also a dead soul, and she was once a resident of Daze Mountain. The fantasy world of Daze Mountain built by Mu Ziyun is becoming more and more realistic. After all, he has studied in school, and his ability to build worlds is better than that woman. Therefore, the Daze Mountain that the woman imagined in the ghost country was no more real than Mu Ziyun's. Therefore, Mu Ziyun's Daze Mountain became the "real Daze Mountain", which attracted this former resident of Daze Mountain. The dead souls returned to their homeland. And these tile-roofed houses and figures were all imagined by women based on Mu Ziyun's fantasies. /p
"Old Master, you can live in our house from now on, and my family will support you." The woman said kindly. Her behavior was actually different from the women in Daze Mountain that Mu Ziyun saw back then. /p
Mu Ziyun's brain, which had deteriorated due to old age, was running slowly. It took him a full day to figure it out. He knew that this woman was also a dead soul, and that the woman's fantasy world had been embedded in his world. Wasn't that right? It means that the world of women is the real Daze Mountain, where he can find the puppet in his memory that he cannot find. /p
Mu Ziyun was trembling with excitement. The woman thought he was ill and hurriedly came over to pat his back. Mu Ziyun suddenly grabbed her hand and asked tremblingly: "Do you know Ji Le Xiao Huier?"/p
The woman was startled for a moment, shook her head, and replied: "I haven't heard of it."/p
Mu Ziyun was silent for a while, suddenly realized, and then said the names of Song Yatou, Qingqing Yatou and others, but the woman still shook her head. /p
Mu Ziyun asked again: "In what era do you live in? Do you know that the men in Daze Mountain once killed more than forty girls. Those girls were ignorant and liked to play games."/p
The woman suddenly became alert and withdrew her hand. There was a moment of panic on her face. Mu Ziyun saw it and hurriedly asked: "Do you know? Do you know this?"/p
The woman frowned, lamented and breathed out cold air, and said, "Old man, what are you talking about?"/p
"When did that happen? Have you seen it?"/p
"I've seen it nowhere, but you haven't seen it. That was all a hundred years ago."/p
Mu Ziyun and the woman chatted for a long time. It turned out that the woman was born sixty years after those girls were killed. The woman is now forty-six years old, which is also the year when her life span ends (she herself did not I don’t know, I thought I was alive), and the reason why the woman is different from the women in Daze Mountain that Mu Ziyun saw back then is precisely because of a series of things that happened after the girls were killed. After going out to the mountain, I know After the dazzling world outside, how could the men stay still? It didn't take long for the tough Fengshan to start communicating with the outside world again, and the affairs of the group of girls were rarely mentioned. /p
Later, the women of Daze Mountain gradually gained the right to play. The sisters of the girls who were killed back then were also in their fifties and sixties, but they did not give up. The sisters redressed their grievances, but in the end they were unsuccessful. They only made the men relax their control over women again, and the bones of the girls who were randomly discarded back then have long since disappeared in the mountains. /p
Mu Ziyun did not stay in the woman's home, but wandered in the mountains from then on, looking for the doll from the fantasies of those women. /p
Soon after, the ghosts of Daze Mountain appeared at another point in time. He was born ten years after the girls were killed. Because Mu Ziyun’s fantasy of Da Ze Mountain was too realistic, each of the former ghosts of Da Ze Mountain appeared. All are here. It turns out that when Ji Le Xiao Hui'er became the lord of the Ghost Country, many souls from Daze Mountain entered the Ghost Country. /p
After more than a dozen dead souls "contributed" to Mu Ziyun's Daze Mountain, Daze Mountain was almost the same as it was in the underworld. /p
Mu Ziyun has become a crazy old man in the mouth of the mountain people. He is over ninety years old and has been sleeping in the mountains and forests for many years. He holds a hoe in his hand and digs holes everywhere. People say that he is looking for his son's body. , some people say that he is a relative of the girls who were killed back then. Now he feels regretful and wants to find the girls’ bones, because the old man kept calling Xiao Huier while digging, but no one found him. I know about Jile Xiao Hui'er. /p
As time goes by, cherries turn red and bananas turn green. /p
In the blink of an eye, it has been two thousand nine hundred and eighty years in the earthly world. In fact, the three thousand years mentioned by the old tree demon should not be calculated from the time when Mu Ziyun entered the ghost kingdom, but should be calculated from the day when Mu Ziyun was born. It’s just that the old tree demon Yao had not thought of this, or had thought of it but did not tell Mu Ziyun. In other words, Mu Ziyun only had one or two years left. /p
"Xiao Hui'er - Xiao Hui'er." Mu Ziyun was half as short as he was before. He was as skinny as a stick and looked like he was about to step into hell. He used a cane and had to rest for a while every time he took a step. Over the years, his eyes often get sick, he cannot see clearly, and he eats less. One fruit can last him for a day or two. Is there any place on Daze Mountain that he has not been to? /p
He walked slowly and feebly. When he came to a piece of barren grassland, he saw a low stone mountain. There was a crack in the center of the stone mountain, which was filled with weeds. There was moss growing in the dark place and a few birds. The child flew by, flapped its wings and left again. /p
"Where is this?" Mu Ziyun didn't remember that he had been to this place, and it seemed that no one had been to this place for decades. /p
Mu Ziyun walked over and dug up the soil as usual. He was too old and fell down from fatigue after a few strokes. When he sat down, he accidentally broke the hoe handle, and the hoe had long been ground flat. He absently looked at the sky through the cracks in the stone mountain. There were a few clouds there, they were barely moving, and there were some green dots under the clouds. /p
Mu Ziyun was attracted by the green spots. He was stunned for too long and suddenly jumped up. His skeleton almost broke. He frantically got into the cracks. When the hoe broke, he used his skinny hands to open up the weeds. Layer by layer, his eyes became clearer and clearer. /p
Finally, he saw a puppet, a black, smelly, green and mutilated puppet. It was hanging on the weeds and thorns, its head hanging weakly. /p
"Little Hui'er!" Mu Ziyun howled hysterically, grabbing the puppet with the thorns in his hand as if lifeless. When he exited the crack and looked at the puppet again, he finally couldn't bear the pain he had suppressed for countless years. He cried bitterly because of the emotion. The sharp thorns opened the flesh on his chest, but no blood could seep out. /p
Yes, he found her, and she was just as Mu Ziyun imagined, waiting for him alone. /p
"Xiao Hui'er!" Mu Ziyun held the puppet with both hands and knocked his head on the ground. Even if his tears dried up, he kept wailing. /p
It turned out that finding Xiao Huier was not entirely his own fault. Daze Mountain would also change according to the fantasies of the more than ten dead souls who entered later. In fact, no one knew the name Ji Le Xiao Huier, because this was the time back then. The secret of that group of girls is even less likely to know that the name is the name of a puppet. The appearance of Osawa was changing every moment due to the fantasies of all the dead souls. Just before Mu Ziyun found Xiao Huier, the group of dead souls got together as living people. They chatted. While reminiscing about the past, someone suddenly mentioned that he had not transformed Daze Mountain yet, and that perhaps there were good things in it. Another revenant suddenly recalled that he had seen a thing made of cloth somewhere, with a nose and eyes, and it was scary. Soon, I ran away quickly, thinking that I had crossed the line and ran outside to meet the devil. Yes, that thing is a puppet. /p
And when the dead soul remembered this incident, the appearance of Daze Mountain was refreshed again, and the place where the puppet was was also reappeared, which was the place where Xiao Huier was hidden. /p
Time cannot travel to the past, and Mu Ziyun cannot really return to Daze Mountain. If the fantasy world created by too specific wishes is too false, but when a dozen dead souls fantasize at the same time, the expression of one person's wishes will be It will be greatly weakened. For example, I want the sky to be yellow, but I can only think so. After another person appears, I have to admit that the sky is blue, so Daze Mountain becomes more and more realistic and becomes more and more realistic. getting closer to what it looks like in reality. /p
All the coincidences may have been destined, and Mu Ziyun found her. /p
Mu Ziyun foolishly kept talking to the puppet. He knew that Xiao Hui'er could hear it, but he didn't know how long he had been talking. The sky turned dark and white, and the white turned black, and the scene around him was also changing. The forest leaves fell again and again. Buds sprout, and birds gather in droves and fall. /p
"Mu Ziyun!" A long-awaited voice finally sounded in his ears. Mu Ziyun opened his eyes. There was no puppet in his hand. He smiled soothingly and stood up. At that moment, he changed back to his former youthful appearance. , and the enthusiasm in his heart also faded a lot, leaving only endless romance and full satisfaction, just like the way he and Xiao Hui'er finished the skipping game together. /p
That was Little Hui'er of Jile. She didn't hold the pink paper umbrella. Her appearance and clothes were exactly the same as that puppet, and her face was red. She might not be as charming as she was, but she was still a beautiful girl. /p
Mu Ziyun smiled and patted the dirt on his clothes, then he and Xiao Huier walked towards each other. /p
After stopping, the two looked at each other, and a thousand words could be expressed with just that pair of eyes. /p
"I found you." Mu Ziyun said calmly with a smile. /p
"Thank you, I've been waiting for a long time, but finally I'm here for you." The way Xiao Hui'er squinted her eyes when she smiled was something Mu Ziyun had never seen before. He believed that that was the smile that belonged to Xiao Hui'er. She no longer It was one of the more than forty dead souls, but herself. /p
"Yeah, I've been looking for it for a long time." Mu Ziyun's lips were a little dry and he looked at the ground. /p
At this time, Xiao Hui'er's eyes seemed a little moist. She seemed to want to speak, but suddenly her expression changed to another one, but she quickly recovered. She seemed to be trying hard to control her emotions, and seemed to be using all her abilities. Standing in front of Mu Ziyun, at this moment, she was Xiao Hui'er, the Xiao Hui'er that Mu Ziyun had been looking forward to seeing. She was none other than the puppet named Xiao Hui'er. /p
Mu Ziyun raised his head and saw Xiao Hui'er again, a completely different Xiao Hui'er from before. He smiled happily and said, "I know you are not a shell. I have always longed to see the real you."/p
Xiao Hui'er smiled and nodded, then lowered her head suddenly. /p
"Where are they? Those girls?" Mu Ziyun asked. /p
"They" Xiao Huier paused, raised her head and said with a smile: "They have fulfilled their wishes and have gone away and entered reincarnation." Her eyes were smiling, but tears were shed at the corners of her eyes, line after line, even her body was shaking, her fingers Always twist the corner of your clothes or touch your nose. /p
/p
"You too, will you leave too? You have fulfilled your wish, right?" Mu Ziyun couldn't hide his sadness in his tone. /p
"Well, it happened, but I begged the soul of 'Luo' to let me stay in the ghost country for a while."/p
"Why?" Mu Ziyun asked with a smile. /p
"Because I want to accompany you."/p
"Stay with me" Mu Ziyun stretched out his arms, "I'm okay. Thank you for accompanying me all these years. It's time for me to enter reincarnation."/p
"Just wait for another year. In one year, the world will be three thousand years old. If you go out now, it will have different consequences than if you go out in one year, because you will." Xiao Huier suddenly stopped talking. /p
"What will happen to me? Can't I enter reincarnation? That's fine. I can stay in the ghost country and be with the old tree. It's okay if you're not around. I've been alone for so many years. It doesn't matter. I'll wait for the next one from the ghost country. The Lord is here, and I will help her realize her wish again, but you must be careful not to be sucked in here again." Mu Ziyun stopped as he spoke. /p
The two looked at each other for a long time, and suddenly they kissed each other fiercely, and they hugged each other tightly. Mu Ziyun said with tears, "Okay! Stay with me for one more year, just one year, and we will enter reincarnation together." , I can't forget you, Xiao Huier, I will never forget you."/p
"I will never forget you, Mu Ziyun." Ji Le Xiao Huier said again: "I will never forget you, brother Ziyun."/p
They did not leave here and returned to the long street. They built a tile-roofed house in front of the Kuawa Temple on Daze. They hugged each other and spent the remaining time together. . /p
