Chapter 195 Sun Chaser (4700 words)
Zheng Xiu rode his horse, and he and Xie Luohe galloped straight out of Li City, all the way to the west.
Until daylight comes.
They changed several positions on the horse.
In the end, Xie Luohe sat in front with a smile, squeezed into Zheng Xiu's arms, unable to close his legs.
The sun was rising behind me, and I could see the silhouettes of the two of them spread out under the horses' hooves.
The scene of him holding the Xieluo River in his arms and galloping on horseback inexplicably reminded Zheng Xiu of the dream he had on the night of reunion when he was still in the imperial city.
In the dream, he and Feng Bei were riding horses, with the mortal world as their company, and they had a very happy conversation. Finally, Feng Bei took off his gloves and killed himself with a slap.
Zheng Xiu remembered this dream.
Then he looked down at the woman in his arms who was clearly Feng Bei, but claimed to be "Xie Luohe". Suddenly, he couldn't tell whether the scene in front of him was reality or a dream.
"Fooled."
Zheng Xiu suddenly slapped his head and shouted that he had been fooled.
"fool."
Xie Luohe smiled even more happily. When he said goodbye to Zheng Xiu in the room, the hidden misery had long since disappeared.
Zheng Xiu turned back, glanced in the direction of Licheng, and sighed: "I should have thought, with your ability like Xie Luohe, how could you put yourself in such an embarrassing situation."
"Who knows."
Xie Luohe tilted his head, humming and pretending to be stupid.
Zheng Xiu: "If I am deceived by you again, my surname will not be Zheng!"
"Your surname is Gongsun, and your given name is Mo."
Zheng Xiu wanted to deny it.
Xie Luohe turned around and gently touched Zheng Xiu's lips with a finger. His bright eyes were full of hope: "Just once, whether all this is true or a dream, no matter it is now or two hundred years ago,
The past no longer matters."
Zheng Xiu looked at Xie Luohe in surprise. Xie Luohe had tears in his eyes and begged: "Even if it's just once, just once. You are neither Zheng Xiu, nor am I Fengbei. I am just Xie Luohe, and Gongsun Mo, that's all."
That's all... okay."
After Xie Luohe finished speaking, he turned away and lowered his head, his weak shoulders trembling slightly.
Cried?
Zheng Xiu almost made an emoticon out of surprise.
impossible.
Zheng Xiu immediately denied it.
Xie Luohe turned his back to Zheng Xiu and sobbed like a kitten from his throat.
Zheng Xiu believed this. He rode with one hand, touched Xie Luohe's hair with the other hand, and said, "...Okay."
Xie Luohe's shoulders shook even more.
"Sierlo River?"
Xie Luohe finally couldn't help it anymore and laughed wantonly: "Hahaha! Idiot! You lose! A man must keep his word. From now on, you are Gongsun Mo! Hahaha..."
"Grass?"
Zheng Xiu was stunned.
After laughing all the way, Xie Luohe calmed down.
"Okay, I won't tease you anymore. Let me tell you something. You will definitely be interested."
Zheng Xiu rolled his eyes, considering whether to abandon Xieluohe and return home. But Zheng Xiu soon fell into entanglement. This vast world was not where he belonged. Now he even had the hope of leaving the "Nie Gong's Treasure House" in the end.
It has become empty. Now even if Zheng Xiu says "go back", he doesn't know where to go next.
While holding his sister in his arms, he was struggling. When Zheng Xiu heard Xie Luohe's words, he immediately pricked up his ears and said suspiciously: "You want to cheat again? You want to cheat me, an ignorant little scholar? You are the majestic head of Yunhe Village and the world's leader.
The number one villain, who is ranked 50th on the weapons spectrum and a respectable person, can you show some martial ethics?"
"Martial ethics? Let me tell you!" Xie Luohe answered matter-of-factly and without shame, and chuckled: "So I promise you, I will never lie to you this time."
Under Zheng Xiu's suspicious eyes, Xie Luohe mentioned something.
"A few years ago, before you appeared, I searched everywhere. I searched hard and read all kinds of legends and anecdotes from various places..."
"Wait a minute." Zheng Xiu couldn't help but interrupt Xie Luohe's story: "You...read a book?"
"Otherwise?" Xie Luohe's eyes flashed, showing a hint of unconcealable pride: "Don't you think that I, Xie Luohe, am an ignorant wild woman?"
I'm not sure whether you can read or not, but the word "reckless woman" describes you just right.
"Huh? What are you secretly scolding me for?"
Xie Luohe's eyes were empty.
"No, you heard wrong." Zheng Xiu denied.
"Don't make any noise, just listen to me quietly." Xie Luohe pinched Zheng Xiu with his backhand, but he didn't know where. He blushed slightly and continued calmly: "I discovered that a long time ago, there was a person who had the same relationship as me.
The same depression and the same path as me."
"who?"
Xie Luohe shook his head: "His name and identity have long been lost in history. However, I once read an autobiography of a folk doctor, which recorded in a few words the strange things of a strange man. That ancient doctor
Call him 'Candle'."
Xie Luohe paused, the blush on his face dissipated, and continued: "The doctor said in his autobiography that the strange man 'Zhu' had the ability to 'regenerate a broken limb'. It also said that this strange man lived for two hundred years.
It has been more than ten years, but he still has 'skin as strong as a mature man and strong energy as an ox'."
Zheng Xiu first exclaimed: "Zhu? Rebirth of a broken limb?"
After being amazed, Zheng Xiu frowned, feeling that he had heard of this strange "name" somewhere.
A bit of a vague impression.
Xie Luohe didn't notice that Zheng Xiu's face was somber at this moment. She was immersed in her memories and said slowly: "Then, during many years of investigation, I discovered something. There were many legends in history, and there were many
There are strange people and strange things. Some people have immortal faces, some people can see at night, some people can travel thousands of miles with only a pair of fleshy legs, and some people are like the candle who lost his limbs and was reborn. Most of the future generations only think of these strange things.
The ancients were ignorant and conjectural, ignorant and stupid. They only regarded the legends as jokes, and no one believed these strange things."
At the end of Xie Luohe's words, his voice was hollow, trembling slightly with the bumps on the road. After a pause, Xie Luohe said: "Except for me... I believe it. I later discovered that 70% of these legends are strange, and it seems that they are all strange."
He's talking about...the same person. This person has lived for nearly eight hundred years."
"Later, I followed the footsteps of that person in history, and finally traveled thousands of miles, crossed thousands of mountains, crossed the desert, and arrived at the end of the desert. Finally, when I got there, I was finally sure that that person had been to the desert.
The end of the world, and left behind a clear legend.”
"It says that a tall man named Zhu ran barefoot, traveling thousands of miles a day, like thunder and lightning. He worshiped the scorching sun and ran towards the setting sun, all the way to the west, running and running. He ran alone across thousands of mountains and across
Wanshui. Finally, on a steep mountain, he held the scorching sun in his hand...and was melted."
"People in the desert, isolated from the rest of the world, worshiped that person as a reborn immortal god and built stone statues. At the same time, they recorded this bizarre legend in murals and passed it down from generation to generation."
She looked at ease, and it seemed that Zheng Xiu's embrace made her feel extremely at ease, or perhaps it was because the cloud-like pleasure of riding up and down on horseback made Xie Luohe unable to bear to stay away.
Xie Luohe moved a little, changed into a more comfortable position, and then said: "The residents of the desert call that man...the Sun Chaser. They believe that the candle is not melted by the scorching sun at the end, but becomes one with the scorching sun, so they turn the sky into one The scorching sun was worshiped as the incarnation of a candle, and it became a local custom passed down."
When Zheng Xiu heard this, he suddenly exclaimed: "I remembered it!"
Zheng Xiu was excited for a moment and hugged him tightly, causing Xie Luohe to tremble.
"I remember! I remember! Not long ago...no, two hundred years later...ah, in your dream, the monk and I, that is, your brother..." Zheng Xiu always felt that this relationship It was strange that he couldn't figure it out for a while, so he simply stopped and told the story of his and the monk's encounter with the "hundred-year-old insect", also known as "cotton slough".
"At that time, the old Jingsha once let me read an ancient book called "Eternal Darkness Secret Record". In addition to recording the strange incident of "hundred-year-old insect cotton shed", it also wrote about "Sun Chaser"!"
"So you know." Xie Luohe said this, but in fact he didn't show much shock that Zheng Xiu had heard this legend. He nodded and said: "Deep in the desert, there is a place called 'Richan Valley' ' place, adjacent to the oasis, there is a village of a hundred people located there. They believe in the 'Sun Chasers', and have preserved the murals very completely for hundreds of years. The murals record some things about, um, the constant darkness and strangeness. I want to take you to see the picture of a human being with your own eyes."
Originally, in Xieluohe's era, there was no concept of "strangers" and "eternal darkness", but the Xieluohe at this time was not the Xieluohe two hundred years ago. At this moment, Xieluohe understood this through Fengbei's memory.
Zheng Xiu asked curiously: "Don't you remember? Can you draw it?"
Xie Luohe said angrily: "I'm not you, hum, I don't know how."
"Sure?"
Xie Luohe deceived him so many times that Zheng Xiu almost suffered from "Xie Luohe disease". He had to be suspicious of anything Xie Luohe said.
Xie Luohe said firmly: "No, no, just no."
Since Xie Luohe killed him in one bite, Zheng Xiu couldn't force Xie Luohe to paint. Besides, Zheng Xiu vaguely felt that Xie Luohe's actions were not out of temper. Although the place Xieluo He mentioned was thousands of miles away, even across the desert, since Xie Luohe felt that the day The murals on the wall of Cicada Valley are so important that Zheng Xiu believes that there is a reason worth visiting, and maybe something will be discovered.
The following days.
