The majestic Tiananmen Gate Tower looks particularly majestic under the golden sunset. There is an endless stream of tourists in the square across Chang'an Street. Many people come from all directions to watch the flag-lowering ceremony.
Wu Jie put his jacket on his shoulders and unbuttoned his shirt, but it was still very hot. He used the map as a fan, fanned the wind, and couldn't help complaining: "What the hell is going on here?
Why is it still so hot?
Netizen Hua Siyuan, who acted as his tour guide, said with a smile: "The North China Plain has always been like this. As long as the sunshine is good, autumn is also very hot. If you stay outside for a while, you will be uncomfortable in the sun, let alone you have already run away.
It’s been a whole day.”
As he spoke, he sat down on the ground, shook his head and sighed: "I'm a useless old man. I remember that when I was young, I also had a pair of iron feet.
I'm out of breath right now... I've only been playing for a few days and I'm tired and can't walk anymore."
Wu Jie looked at his obvious belly and couldn't help but laugh.
"Brother Hua, thank you so much this time."
"Why are you thanking me? You and Xiao Yin have been in love for so many years, and they have finally achieved success. It's too late for us to be happy. When you come to Beijing for a trip, remember to inform me. It's to give my brother and me face." Hua Siyuan suddenly became energetic.
, spitting, "Anyway, I'm an unemployed vagrant. After finishing writing the manuscript every day, I have free time. Instead of being stimulated by primary school students in Lu, Lu, Lu, I might as well come and go shopping with you."
As he said that, he blinked at the polite and quiet Yin Shuang standing next to Wu Jie: "Besides, it is a great blessing to be able to be together with a beauty like Xiao Yin. Did you know that after reading what we posted today?
In the photos in the group, how many people are crying and shouting, ‘Do I want to be a tour guide too?”
Wu Jie laughed loudly, and Yin Shuang also pursed her lips and smiled.
After she finished laughing, she said softly: "It's a pity that my sister-in-law is busy with work. It would be great if we could come and play together."
"No, please don't." Hua Siyuan waved his hands exaggeratedly, "Our family is a people's democratic dictatorship, and your sister-in-law is very strict. If she comes too, let's not eat anything along the way - street food is not allowed."
It’s hygienic. Eating while walking is not conducive to digestion... Oh, it’s a good thing she doesn’t come, really.”
"Brother Hua, aren't you afraid that your sister-in-law will be angry if she finds out about it?" Yin Shuang asked with a smile.
Hua Siyuan shrugged: "That's what I said in person. It doesn't matter what I eat. It doesn't even matter what I say. That's not the people's democratic dictatorship. It's the Queen Mother and Lafayette. Don't mention that."
, is there any water?"
Wu Jie laughed, took out a bottle of drink from his backpack and handed it to him.
Hua Siyuan unscrewed the cap, raised his head and drank at least a third of it. Then he let out a long sigh: "Well, my stomach is already full, but I still want to drink when I see the water..."
"You need to rest."
"Yes, when you reach middle age, you have to serve your age." Hua Siyuan slowly got up and stretched his body. He was about to say something more, but suddenly his eyes lit up, "Here, come, look, that's the national flag class."
"
Wu Jie and Yin Shuang hurriedly turned around and saw, under the setting sun, a group of mighty and solemn soldiers slowly walking in an orderly manner from the direction of Tiananmen Square.
Their steps were not fast, and they did not shout any slogans, but as they approached, the originally noisy square quickly became quiet. People gathered around the isolation line, waiting eagerly.
The bright red national flag slowly set as the sun set, and was carefully put away and transported away under the escort of the national flag squad.
The square quickly returned to its previous bustle, and people left in twos and threes.
"Are you... leaving today?"
"Yes, the wedding leave is almost over." Wu Jie looked at Tiananmen Square, which seemed to be plated with gold under the afterglow, "I have to change trains after getting off the plane tonight."
Hua Siyuan was silent for a moment, then smiled and stretched out his hand: "I have to code words tonight, so I won't send you to the airport. Have a nice trip."
He shook hands with Wu Jie and Yin Shuang respectively, then took the small bag containing the garbage and walked away leisurely.
“Brother Hua is such a cool person”
"He is a writer. Isn't that what the so-called writer is?" Wu Jie said with a smile, "When I feel good, I write a little, and when I feel bad, I don't write. From time to time, I have to travel to collect stories and find inspiration... Actually, I
I also wanted to be a writer back then, but unfortunately my writing was terrible.”
"I always feel that you have a deep misunderstanding of the writer's profession..."
"Who told me to call it a misunderstanding?"
The two people talked and laughed and walked out of the square.
A few hours later, in the waiting hall of the airport, Wu Jie took his mobile phone and called his parents to report that he was safe: "...We are going well, we will be on the plane in a moment... Well, it went smoothly, there is no discomfort.
The place... Beijing? Beijing is very fun. We took a lot of photos and showed them to you when we got home... In fact, wouldn't it be great if you came with us... Ah, it's time to board the plane. I turned off my phone.
Wait until you get off the plane before calling again.”
The plane roared off the runway and jumped into the black sky. Looking out from the plane window, there was a continuous light on the ground and the sky was dotted with stars. The stars in the sky and the lights on the ground complemented each other, making people feel like they were in a myth for a moment.
among.
"It's strange why there are so many stars today! This doesn't look like Beijing." The uncle in the seat in front muttered in confusion, "I have lived for almost sixty years, and I have never seen so many stars."
Wu Jie was stunned and looked out the window in confusion.
As we all know, Beijing's air quality has always been problematic, not only due to vehicles and industries, but more importantly due to the ubiquitous dust in the north.
I remember that when they looked up at the starry sky last night, they could only see a few stars...
He stared at the overly dense stars in the sky and suddenly felt a strange feeling.
"This is not the starry sky I am familiar with"
Following this feeling, the surrounding scenery suddenly shook, the plane shook violently, and lost its balance.
There were shouts of exclamation, and everyone looked panicked, but Wu Jie had a wonderful understanding in his heart.
This scene...he has experienced it before
Moreover, he has already remembered
The next moment, everything stopped. In the still world, Wu Jie stood up, looked around everything, and sighed deeply.
He lowered his head and looked at Yin Shuang, who was also looking up at him.
"It's amazing that I remembered it so quickly." She smiled. There was no malice in her smile, only joy and admiration.
"Who are you?" Wu Jie asked.
"I am your inner demon." Yin Shuang replied with a smile, "Isn't it obvious? You are in the process of overcoming your inner demon."
Wu Jie was silent for a while and then asked: "So, have I succeeded in overcoming the tribulation?"
“You have to ask yourself this question.” Yin Shuang smiled, “Have you chosen your ‘original heart’?”
"Choose your true heart?"
"Of course, there is never the best of both worlds. If you want to gain, you must first lose. If you want to achieve the golden elixir, you must choose your own heart, then stick to it and keep moving forward." Yin Shuang always smiled,
She patiently explained to him, "A person must have many wishes, but in the final analysis, one is the most important - that is your true heart."
She stared at Wu Jie for a while and shook her head, still with a smile on her face.
"It seems that you haven't thought it through yet, so forget it. Don't worry, this is the world in your mind. Here, we have enough time. You can search slowly, think slowly, and decide slowly."
"Then, goodbye."
The solidified world suddenly shattered, and Wu Jie's feet fell into the air, falling towards the endless darkness.
He screamed, woke up and sat up, startling his brother Wu Cheng who was sleeping next to him.
"Ajie, what's wrong with you? Are you having nightmares again?" Wu Cheng worriedly touched his forehead and found that he didn't have a fever, so he breathed a sigh of relief, "Ah, I broke out in a cold sweat again... I'll go get some hot water."
I’ll wipe it for you and warm up the soothing soup.”
The small oil lamp was lit, Wu Cheng put on his clothes and ran out in a hurry.
Wu Jie sat on the bed, staring at the flickering lights, feeling lost in his heart.
He felt as if he had forgotten something important, but he couldn't remember it...
The river of blood roared across the sky, casting a large ray of bright red light on the ground. In the river of blood, the devil who once used the name "Black Robe" to usurp the divine gate and turned it into his own tool smiled ferociously.
Overflowing with rage.
"Over tens of thousands of years, I have figured out the laws of humanity and heaven in this world. They are guarded by this river of blood composed of all the beings in the world. As long as I don't wantonly harm those unrelated mortals, they will not risk their lives.
I’m going to hurt both sides with a dangerous shot.”
It roared, laughed wildly, and headed south.
Outside the world of Kyushu, in the vast sea of stars, the old monk with a compassionate face watched all this and sighed deeply.
"Sure enough, it is indeed the most astute evil mirror devil. It is hard for me to interfere with what it does.
As a powerful person with half a step of creation, he can crush the black robe with just one finger, but at the moment, the black robe is wandering within the laws of the Kyushu world and has not yet exceeded the limit.
Heaven's response has not yet arisen, and humanity has not yet called for help.
In this case, if he takes action forcibly, because his power is far greater than that of the entire Kyushu world, I am afraid that before the demon is eliminated, the entire Kyushu world will be shattered and all life will be destroyed.
"That's all. It seems that we can only wait for twenty years for the God of War to grow up... Perhaps, the temporary Tao and Demon Chief is also the fate of this world..."
The blood-colored river stretched across the sky, and soon crossed most of the nine states. At this time, many human monks had already reacted. Some wanted to cast spells to stop them, some hurriedly ran away to report the news, and some were attracted by the blood and laughed.
Rushing towards the river of blood.
But the power of the blood river is extremely powerful. Those who cast spells and blocked them were smashed together with the spells and themselves; those who tried to escape were pulled back and sucked the essence and blood; as for those who came in to die on their own, of course it was not to mention.
The roar of "monsters must not be rampant" resounded throughout the world. Several eminent Buddhist monks came together, and the golden Buddha light merged into one piece. Along with several magic weapons that had been sacrificed for many generations, it turned into a huge Buddha statue, sitting on the lotus platform.
Go up and raise your hand to block the river of blood.
"Searching for death." The Demon of Evil Mirror laughed wildly, rushed forward with a river of blood, and swept the Buddha statue and several eminent monks into the river of blood. Only a bloody light surged, and the golden Buddha light slowly faded away and gradually dimmed.
Eventually it disappeared without a trace.
The old monk closed his eyes sadly, his face full of compassion.
At this time, Blood River has arrived at Qingyang Mountain
