As night falls, in Shiwan Mountain, there are screams and screams from everywhere, like ghosts crying and wolves howling, and I don't know what kind of strange beasts are appearing one after another in the mountains.
There are three or five big trees gathered together. The roots of the trees under the ground are intertwined with each other. There are some parts that protrude from the ground, and there are also old roots that are rooted in the soil. When you look longer, you can no longer distinguish the roots of these trees. Who's whose.
Mo Guyuan and his party were leaning in front of these big trees, with a lot of dry firewood piled up in front of them. At this time, a fire was set up, and the dead branches were burning wantonly in the fire, making crackling sounds and sparks flying from time to time.
Yu Nie stretched out, leaned against a big tree trunk, looked up at the dim sky, and said softly, "We have been sleeping in the open air all the way. It is rare to have such a natural barrier. You see, Feng Du It's blowing from the north, but these big trees hug each other to form a tree wall that just blocks the wind. We lie here and warm ourselves by the fire, but it's a lot warmer."
Mo Guyuan picked up a slightly thicker branch, gathered the fire, and added a lot of dry firewood. The fire became brighter in an instant, and his face became even redder.
"The Shiwandashan Mountains occupies a very large area. The terrain along the Western Mountains and the northern border is the Shiwandashan Mountains which is the most powerful. Not to mention there are countless strange peaks and ridges. You said that this place is just a common feature in this mountain range. If you want to I know that these ancient trees have existed for a long time, and some have even taken root here since ancient times." Mo Guyuan said slowly.
Yu Qingqing sat beside the fire with her dumplings in her arms. The little girl in her arms had already fallen asleep, her posture was comfortable and she had a satisfied look on her face.
"What, is it possible that you also know the names of these trees?" Yu Qinggong asked curiously.
Mo Guyuan paused, then looked back at the big trees that were clustered around each other behind him. For a moment, he nodded slowly and said, "I've never seen it in my hometown, but I just compared it with Huang Ting Jingwai." After drawings and drawings, there is indeed a record of this tree in the book. At present, it seems that this tree is called Huangguoshu, and it is a legacy from ancient times."
Yu Qinggong was stunned for a moment, then looked at Mo Guyuan with wide eyes and said, "In just a moment, you can find the corresponding one in the book?"
Mo Guyuan blinked and said with a smile, "I have been slow for a moment. You know, I usually have nothing to do except meditate and practice. I spend a lot of time studying the Foreign Canon and Yi Zhi. The book contains descriptions of various exotic animals and ancient trees. All the rare and exotic herbs are recorded, and I’ve seen a lot, so I naturally wrote them down.”
Yu Qingg was speechless, and could only cast a look of admiration at Mo Guyuan, with a bit of admiration.
Mo Guyuan didn't seem to take this to heart. Instead, he said to her seriously, "So, Miss Yu, if you have nothing to do, you can read more books. It is said that reading thousands of books means traveling thousands of miles. Our journey is far away. In fact, reading It is also a type of spiritual practice.
Yu Qinggong rolled his eyes, reading? Is it possible that I want to read like a nerd like him and not understand the style at all?
"You can read by yourself. It's best to hold a book and read every day. If I have nothing to do, I can read more. I won't go to sleep when I have free time." Yu Qing rumbled. .
Mo Guyuan paused, wondering why Miss Yu was so stubborn with him again. It should be a good thing for him to persuade her to study more, so as not to get angry.
On the side, Luokui covered her mouth and smiled softly. Seeing the two of them scratching their heads and cheeks at a loss, while the other was unreasonable and aggressive, she couldn't help but feel that the two of them were talented and beautiful.
"Sister Grylls, in my opinion, Mo Guyuan probably thinks that you haven't read enough books and don't have enough knowledge, so I advise you to read more. After all, the so-called books also write about women, who have short knowledge and long hair. That's right." Luo Kui saw the excitement and didn't take it too seriously, and continued to add insult to injury.
Yu Qingqing raised his eyebrows, approached Mo Guyuan with a meaningful look, slightly raised the corners of his mouth, and sneered, "To be honest, do you dislike me for not reading enough?"
Mo Guyuan's pupils trembled slightly, looking at Yu Qinggong who was so close in front of him, his face turned red and he didn't dare to go any further.
"No... no, how could I dislike you." At the end of the sentence, Mo Guyuan's voice was so low that it was deep in the mud.
Yu Qingqing glared at Mo Guyuan, the warning in her eyes was obvious. If she hadn't been worried about Dumpling being woken up, she would have had to break up with Mo Guyuan right now.
Pull, pull, pull.
When Mo Guyuan saw Yu Qinggong retreating, he breathed a sigh of relief quietly. At the same time, he did not forget to look in the direction of Luokui, pretending to glare at her with a fierce look, with the intention of complaining.
Luokui still looked innocent, but the smile on her face became deeper. To her, it felt good that the two of them had known each other for a long time, and it seemed like they could play some pranks occasionally.
Seeing the sincere and warm smile on Luo Kui's face, Yu Nie didn't say anything in response, but the smile on his face gradually bloomed with Luo Kui's laughter, full of doting.
The night was soft, and several people sat together in the firelight. From time to time, there were a few laughters, adding a touch of warmth under the dark and boundless night.
In the cold winter, there is no moon or stars tonight. Even if there is wind, it is blocked by the wall of yellow fruit trees. Everything is quiet, but this small forest is as warm as spring.
It was already midnight, and the coldness gradually came over. Yu Qing, Gurgling and Luo Kui had already fallen asleep one after another. Mo Guyuan was worried that the two of them would catch cold, so he took out two thick mattresses from nearby objects to cover them while he himself Waiting by the fire, taking care of the firewood, while meditating.
Yu Nie was not sleepy at all, but compared to usual, he was extra quiet tonight. Most of the time, he was listening to the conversations of several people, instead of echoing a few words, changing his previous attitude.
At the moment, he rested his hands on the back of his head, still looking at the night in a daze.
After a long time, Mo Guyuan walked out of his practice. While making a fire, he said to himself, "What, are you worried?"
Yu Nie turned a deaf ear and said nothing.
"I felt something was not right with you since I came to this Hundred Thousand Mountains. Is it because of Master Hu earlier?" Mo Guyuan continued to ask.
Yu Nie turned over and lay on her side. She didn't answer the question. Instead, she told Mo Guyuan something else.
"You said that if I was really a demigod of time at that time, when you said that you met me in the wilderness, it means that I was still a demigod at that time, but why did I have to separate my cultivation and memory? Could it be that I had calculated it accurately earlier? What did you see with the power of time, so you made this move?" Yu Nie frowned, seeming to be trying to remember something.
When Mo Guyuan heard this, he didn't know how to answer for a moment. He and Yu Nie had known each other for so long. Ever since he regained consciousness, he had no memory of the past. He had always maintained a careless appearance and didn't know the heights of the world. Hear this tonight His words were uncharacteristically uncharacteristic. I thought he didn't care about his past at all and was just waiting for me to find a way to help him regain his memory.
"I have thought about this more than once, but you really baffled me at the time. I only remember what you said at the end: people say that I am in love with Chang'an, but in fact I only love someone in Chang'an. No specific details. Listen clearly who you are talking about." Mo Guyuan also tried hard to recall everything at the beginning and spoke slowly now.
Yu Nie's eyes lit up, and he became energetic instantly. He sat up and walked quickly to Mo Guyuan, saying tightly, "This sentence sounds like I have deep feelings for someone. I didn't expect that I could say such meaningful words." , could it be that I also read a lot of books before?"
"......"
"Do you remember what else I said?" Yu Nie continued to ask.
Mo Guyuan thought about it seriously and said, "It seems that you have seen countless possibilities, but every ending is not what you want to see. In the end, he said to himself that I have missed you for thousands of years, and you want to You said a lot about breaking this fateful barrier, but before I could respond, you slapped yourself on the forehead, which almost scared me. I thought you were possessed and crazy."
Yu Nie was silent, listening to the few details that Mo Guyuan told, frowning in thought, not knowing what he thought of.
After a while, Mo Guyuan saw that Yu Nie still hadn't gotten out of the scope of thinking. He couldn't help but advise, "Now you have no clue. If you think too much, it will easily increase your burden. Why don't we wait and see if there are other ways to help you find it later?" Back to memory."
Yu Nie said subconsciously, "You want to come to this hundred thousand mountains with lush jungles to see if there is a rainbow formed by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, so that the cotton cloud can absorb and wake up, so that it can tell the past related to me?" "
Mo Guyuan grinned and nodded.
Yu Nie suddenly changed his expression. His eyes were as bright as a torch, and he looked deeply at Mo Guyuan, his face looking solemn as never before.
Mo Guyuan was a little puzzled, especially looking at his appearance. For some reason, the impression seemed to bring him back to the way he first saw the man in white in the wilderness.
"What are you doing, why are you so serious?"
After a while, Yu Nie said solemnly, "Then have you ever thought that with my original cultivation and vision as a demigod, the purpose of dissipating everything in front of you is to cut off everything between the past and the present, maybe just to put it aside?" To live after death, I must have chosen this path when I was desperate. Since I have no memory, I am no longer a demigod, nor time, but just myself, Yu Nie."
Mo Guyuan was shocked and seemed to remember something in his mind, but he felt that his memory was very blurry.
"Are you saying that you did it intentionally in the first place just to unravel the endings you couldn't see through or the endings you had seen all the time?"
Yu Nie shook his head, then nodded, and said, "I'm not sure either. I just know that if I really have that extraordinary ability, I can definitely interfere with and predict many endings. But since I can see the final ending, I can't see it." There is no ending that I want to see, so what I do must be to change something. In this way, I don’t have to worry about memory. If I recover my memory, wouldn’t it be what I did before? Did you fall short?"
Mo Guyuan looked at Yu Nie with an incredulous look and murmured, "Okay, I didn't expect this at all. You have a pretty bright mind."
Yu Nie shrugged and said nonchalantly, "I am who I am after all, and there are still some things I can think about."
Mo Guyuan smiled, but for a person without a past, even if Yu Nie has the present memory, it may still be an involuntary restraint.
Thinking of this, Mo Guyuan couldn't help but become more and more curious. As one of the demigods in the past, he had absolute control and mastery over time. Even with his cultivation at that time, he might really be able to travel between the future and the past. But for He has seen all the endings in time, but none of them are what he wants to see. Could it be that they all end in tragedy in the end?
Mo Guyuan didn't dare to think about it, and even strangled the idea in his mind as soon as it came up.
