The little girl herding the sun disappeared together with her solar boat, and darkness soon surged up, swallowing up the world.
"What exactly does the leader of the Muri tribe want to say?"
Qin Mu fell into deep thought, darkness enveloped the earth, the dragon pillars lit up again, every brazier in the city was lit, and the temples also glowed in the night.
The jade pendant on his chest also emits a faint light. According to the Muri tribe, the jade pendant comes from Wuyou Township, and he may also come from Wuyou Township. However, the name Wuyou Township does not appear on the Daxu geographical map. This place does not seem to be
Exists in the great ruins.
"Where is Wuyou Township? Why does Wuyou Township appear only when darkness falls?"
He stared blankly at the darkness outside the city, wanting to go into the darkness to find the Worry-free Township, but the darkness covered such a wide area, covering the entire vast ruins. Who could know about the illusory Wuyou Township?
Where exactly?
Moreover, how can he travel safely through the mysterious darkness?
The darkness is so dangerous that a small jade pendant cannot protect him, and treasures such as stone statues are too heavy. Carrying a stone statue is equivalent to carrying a god, and he simply cannot do it.
"Will there be my parents in Wuyou Township?"
Qin Mu was demoralized. He stood on the dragon's head of the dragon pillar and raised his palm, as if he wanted to touch the thick darkness outside.
The boundless darkness surging outside the city seemed to be separated from the bright scene in the city by a thin membrane. A huge palm appeared on the membrane wall, as if it wanted to touch his palm.
Qin Mu raised his head, his two palms getting closer and closer.
There were whispers in the darkness, like many gentle voices whispering, urging him to go into the darkness and become compatible with it.
The whispers became louder and louder, as if they were getting into his mind, constantly persuading him.
Qin Mu's eyes were blurred, and his two palms were almost touching.
Gradually, the darkness in front of his eyes was no longer darkness, but another grand world. He saw a world like smoke or a water mirror. A woman was reaching out her palm from a distance, as if she wanted to touch his palm.
.
The woman's face was blurry. He tried to see clearly, but he couldn't.
On his chest, the jade pendant floated gently, as if it was about to float to the dark world.
"Mu'er, what are you doing?"
A startled and angry voice came from behind, Qin Mu retracted his palms, and the deaf man appeared behind him, waking him up. Qin Mu woke up from his depression, quickly retracted his palms, and couldn't help but break into a cold sweat.
What would happen if he really touched the palm in the darkness? Others who fell into the darkness died miserably, and he would also be eaten by the monsters in the darkness, right?
The huge palm in the darkness also retracted and disappeared, and the vision in the darkness also dissipated.
Qin Mu felt a sigh coming from the darkness in a daze, but the deaf man obviously didn't notice it.
The deaf man was furious, pulled him away, and said angrily: "There are monsters in the dark, good at confusing people, be careful to catch you!"
"A confusing monster?"
Only then did Qin Mu feel scared. He raised his hand and hid the jade pendant on his chest in his clothes, as if hiding his thoughts along with the jade pendant. He thought to himself: "One day, I will walk through the darkness to find the origin of the darkness."
, find the worry-free township!"
"Grandpa Deaf, what was in the darkness just now? Why can I suddenly see things in the darkness?" Qin Mu thought for a while and asked.
"What is in the darkness is the underworld."
Deaf said: "The village chief knows about things in the dark world. He has been there. Let's go to the city lord's mansion. The village chief is also there. Let the village chief tell you."
Qin Mu's heart was slightly shaken. The village chief had been to the world in darkness?
The village chief is so powerful that he can come back alive after being in the darkness?
"Mu'er, you actually saw the world in the darkness?"
In the city lord's palace, everyone from Canlao Village was gathered together. Granny Si was still wearing Fu Yundi's skin. The pharmacist, the mute, Mr. Ma, the deaf, the blind, the lame and the butcher were all there. They listened to Qin Mu put himself on the sun boat and face the darkness.
I told you what happened to my palm.
The village chief was surprised and said: "I have indeed been to that world in the darkness. When I came to the Great Ruins, I was completely dejected. I thought that my lifelong ambitions had been lost. I wanted to die, but I couldn't die..."
He smiled bitterly, but the other villagers in Canlao Village all understood this feeling. They had the courage to die but could not. This was because the responsibility still rested on their own shoulders and they had not handed over this responsibility to others.
"At that time, I was walking on the edge of life and death, and I wanted to end this life again and again. Once, I failed to withstand the temptation of the devil and walked into the darkness."
The village chief recalled the past and said calmly: "I thought I would definitely die if I walked in, but I am too powerful, so powerful that the darkness cannot kill me even for a moment."
This sentence may make people think that he is bragging, but the villagers of Canlao Village have no such idea at all. If the village chief said that he is too powerful, then he is too powerful.
How terrifying is the darkness? Everyone in Canlao Village is the top expert, but except for the village chief, no one dares to say that they can enter the darkness and not die.
The village chief continued: "I was walking in the dark. I was crazy. I yelled at the monsters in the dark and wanted to die. However, at that time, the darkness in my eyes gradually faded and I saw the darkness.
The world in the ruins is a world that overlaps with the Great Ruins, but is different. It is a strange world, and it was suddenly separated from the darkness..."
Everyone was shocked. Is there really such a world?
What is the world in darkness like?
"Although the darkness faded at that time, my eyes were still covered with mist, and I couldn't see very far. Those twisted shadows woke me up. I could see them, but I couldn't see them clearly. They were all very powerful, and some were even stronger than me.
I still want to be strong. They waved to me, as if they were inviting me. I thought that I still had responsibilities and could not die there, so I withdrew from the darkness."
The village chief said solemnly: "Later, I tried to enter the darkness again, looking for the world hidden in the darkness, but I couldn't find it. The world Mu'er saw should be the world I saw. The world in the darkness
, I call it the dark world. And the world we live in, I call it the light world, where light and dark correspond and alternate. During the day, the light world dominates, and at night, the dark world dominates. Mu'er, Mu'er
The Sun Shou of the Japanese tribe told you that you may be from Wuyou Township, and Wuyou Township sometimes appears in the darkness?"
Qin Mu nodded.
Everyone looked at each other, and the pharmacist smiled and said: "Mu'er, you go back and rest first. The Yankang army has just retreated. There is a mixture of fish and dragons in the city, and we all need to keep vigil."
Qin Mu said yes, left the city lord's mansion, and went back to the inn to rest.
In the city lord's mansion, the village chief, the pharmacist, the lame man, the mute man, Granny Si and others all looked solemn. After a long time, the lame man chuckled and said: "The children we raised may have come from the dark world and are demons in the dark world.
…”
The deaf man moved his iron ears and sighed: "In fact, we should have been suspicious when he suddenly appeared in the darkness. Children of ordinary families would have died long ago when encountering such a situation, but he could be in the dark
Survive. Mute, what do you think?"
The mute said a few words, and the deaf sneered: "If you are not of my race, your heart will be different! Don't speak for him!"
"Deaf, you are too extreme."
The pharmacist said in a deep voice: "It's possible that Mu'er's jade pendant comes from Wuyou Township, but it's not that Mu'er comes from Wuyou Township. Moreover, what if he comes from Wuyou Township? No one has been to Wuyou Township, so it doesn't necessarily mean that he comes from Wuyou Township.
It belongs to the dark world and is evil, not to mention that the dark world is not necessarily filled with demons in the dark. There are other possibilities for Mu'er's life experience."
Granny Si sneered: "Even if Mu'er is a little devil from the dark world, so what? He was raised by us in every poop, and he is our child, our flesh and blood!"
The lame man said angrily: "Mother-in-law, you are being unreasonable..."
"Unreasonable? Damn lame, do you still want to kill Mu'er?"
…
A few people were arguing back and forth, but Mr. Ma remained silent. He suddenly said: "Mu'er was raised by us and taught by us. If we are demons, what we teach will be demons. What are we like?
He will teach him what kind of person he is."
Everyone fell silent. Mr. Ma always spoke little, but every time he spoke he spoke with great weight.
"Master Ma is right."
The lame man was the most convinced by him and nodded: "I am worrying too much. Deaf man, what do you think?"
The deaf man looked at the mute. He and the mute were best friends. The mute's face, which was burnt red by the stove, showed a smile. After saying a few words, the deaf man said: "I know you are not a bad person, and I don't think I am a bad person either. If Mu'er
If you become a demon, then you have to blame them. Except for you and me, everyone else in our village is not a good person!"
Granny Si was furious: "You nerd, are you discriminating against those who practice magic?"
The deaf man sneered and pulled out his two iron ears to show that he didn't want to pay attention to you.
The village chief had a big head and said: "Everyone in this village rarely speaks a few words. Deaf people, put your ears back, it's scary."
The deaf man plugged his ears back twice, and the village chief said, "I want to take Mu'er to the dark world to see if there is a Wuyou Township there."
Everyone was shocked.
The village chief smiled and said: "Don't worry, the first time I entered the dark world was four hundred years ago. In the past four hundred years, I have made some progress. I will prepare for a while first, and then take Mu'er to walk in the darkness.
