Chapter 241 – Separation Sorrow
I didn't respond, there was even a second where I thought I might have misheard her, Lu Yao kept her head buried, I don't know if it was because she was too badly hurt or otherwise.
My dad carried me on his back, and I leaned against his shoulder, and by this time, I even found that putrid odor emanating from him acceptable. The Irregulars had been helping us hold off the bodies rushing around us, and had sidestepped, giving the stone door away from behind us. I hold the bloodper tightly, listening to the shouts and killings coming from all around, those noisy voices, ringing and stopping, cycling and repeating, I look at the hollowed out grooves on the stone door, and suddenly feel that all of this, it really is going to end like this ……
My dad turned his back to me, turned his head sideways, looked at me out of the corner of his eye, nodded at me, and then pushed me towards the top with force, I endured the severe pain in my body, put my hand on the stone door, looked at the blood peroxide, and was just about to put it into the grooves, when I suddenly heard Elder Master Xie shouting out from there, saying Tan Xie, you dare to do it!
I looked back at him and saw that his rotting face, had completely distorted, Qin Ming had already let go of him and looked at me with a smile on his lips, saying, You finally did it!
I looked back and didn't say anything, I did, so many people died, I stepped over them and finally did it!
I wasn't hesitating, instead I looked at the empty hole above me, and with a fierce force in my hand, I put the bloodper into it!
Boom!
Immediately followed by this loud bang. The sound came from above the stone door, as if the earth shook as well, countless dust shook down from above and landed on me and my dad. The sounds of those shouting and killing all around us crashed to a halt, and all their gazes fell on me, then moved back to the stone door in front of me.
For a moment, I thought that even time was forbidden, the silence around me was so terrifying that even my breath couldn't help but be held. My father slowly dragged me back, his eyes kept falling on top of the stone door, silent for a long time, and suddenly said to me, Xiao Xi, after I leave, you take the little ghost out and hold his life, the eight generations of ancestors' carriage is waiting outside, you guys will …… live well in the future… …
I looked at him, my nose was suddenly sour, although in my heart I have long known that there will be such an end, but I do not know why, when it comes to the end, I am suddenly afraid, as if Ding Ding knew that Mrs. Nine would still have a soul when she died, and after getting used to a kind of thing, I hoped that he would continue. A lot of words pressed in my heart, I just can't say it now, it's hard to suppress in my heart.
My dad seems to be able to understand the thoughts in my head, he put me next to the little kid, the little kid is still unconscious, but from the rise and fall of his chest, I know that he is not in a big way for a while, his injuries are a little lighter than mine, and I can barely hold on, that he more should live well!
My father looked at us, opened his mouth to say something, but finally the voice seems to be choked in the throat, as if, has not said clearly, suddenly heard the stone door there, again "boom" a loud bang, followed by the stone door violently moved a little bit, there are quite a lot of dust fall down.
I took a closer look, and found that the right side of the stone door, slightly moved back a little, as if in the void opened a door, this process is very slow, but it every move, seems to involve everyone's heart. And it moved away every point, after the stone door, will be permeated with a kind of if not light to, give a person the feeling, as if at any time will be extinguished, but also seems to be extraordinarily tough, it seems that the wind and rain can not be broken out of the general.
All around the corpses are vaguely trembling, even Xie old master, is also a pair of eyes tightly gazed at the stone door above, footsteps little by little toward the back of the retreat, and from time to time will also step on the ground those broken bones, the body of an unsteady directly fell to.
I also like all the people present, a motionless gaze at the stone door, see that the stone door to the side of the unfolding more and more large, vaguely, I seem to be able to hear a burst of footsteps, very messy, the beginning of the very subtle, but the sound is getting bigger and bigger, and so the stone door is wide open, almost became the only sound I could hear, I can even distinguish, this is actually the sound of horse hooves stamping. But I could never see clearly what was behind the door, where that stone door was, above it was a thin layer of light, just like the cave where the body was stored before, perhaps only through that light could I see the world inside.
The sound of those horses' hooves got louder and louder, before I could get back to my senses, I heard Old Master Xie yell out in panic that they were coming!
Subsequently, all the corpses didn't hesitate and turned around wanting to escape from this place, but in the next second, I suddenly saw a horse that was blackened with flames burning on its body, all of a sudden rushing out from behind that stone door! I did not think that the first thing to come out, would be hell fire horse this kind of thing, but gaze at a look, I just found that this fire horse, there is a slightly transparent, wearing the kind of similar terracotta warrior like armor, but can not see clearly looks of the person in. He was holding a kind of weapon that I can't name, the front seems to be a sword, but the back has a long section of chain, high above his head, directly towards those corpses that wanted to escape and rushed over. And after this man rushed out from the stone door, one after another, there was a large group of the same as him, also followed out, the number of which was completely beyond my expectation.
For a moment, the sound of horses neighing, plus that sound of shouting and killing boiled up all of a sudden, but compared to those corpses from before, this sound was even more solemn, and even gave people a creepy sense of majesty.
They directly rushed to the front of the corpses, raised the weapon in their hands, a stab within the corpses, the chains behind them seem to have spirituality, directly will be these corpses tightly bound, previously also flaunted the corpses, in front of these people, as if there is no power to fight back at all! One by one, they dragged them on the ground, as if they were trash that could be discarded at any time, and after cleaning up one, they continued to deal with the next one. For a while, the screams of those corpses also mixed into my ears.
I looked completely dumbfounded, until someone gently tapped me on the shoulder, I only came back to my senses from the world I saw in front of me, turned my head to look, and found that it was Qin Ming, whose cold and solemn face still did not have any expression, and only silently glanced at me, and then said towards my dad that, these are the shadowy soldiers, and if you want to suffer less, a moment later when they turned back, then go into the stone door by yourself.
My dad heart some residual palpitations, pause for a moment, before opening his mouth to ask him, said I can ask a question, that stone door, in the end leads to what place? ……
Qin Ming closed his eyes, as if he did not want to see everything in front of him, a long time, only to hear him sigh, said although I know, but I can not say, but you have to believe, heaven has its own justice, even if it is an evil ghost, but also will leave him a line of life, they are wandering around in the world, and so the torment suffered enough, will be sensed in this place, as if the gods purposely opened a door to give them a way to go back to the same.
I couldn't help but glance towards Lu Yao's side, I don't know, underneath her seemingly vicious appearance, in her heart, is she also like what Qin Ming said, suffering day in and day out, that's why she wants to come to this place despite all the odds, to give herself, to open up a pathway.
My dad heard Qin Ming's words, lowered his eyes, looked deeply at me, half a long time, only gently laughed, looked at Qin Ming said, you do not come with us?
Qin Ming slowly blinked, looked toward that floating in the stone door near the changeless, pause for a moment, before saying, although I know this place, but these thousands of years, but also did not sense. I have a knot in my heart, and if I can't solve it, I won't go.
My dad was silent for a while, and finally grinned, and said Since this is the case, I will ask you for one thing, these two sons of mine, who are a little bit more injured, will ask you to help me, and send them away from this place. In the future in the other world, if there is a chance to meet, then I will come back to thank.
Qin Ming didn't respond, but just slowly lowered his head and said You then go.
My dad nodded and looked at me again, reaching out and patting me on the shoulder as if he was cheering me on like before, saying Xiao Xi, don't forget my words, you guys live well!
The moment he spoke, he walked towards the stone door without looking back, I endured the pain and tried to pull his hand, but he still broke free, watching him walk in front of the stone door, my heart seemed to be blocked with a stone like a violent force, I shouted out of my mouth, said, Dad!
My father's footsteps paused for a moment, turned his head, looked at me and smiled faintly, said before leaving can still hear you shouted at me, I am satisfied.
After he finished speaking, he took a step into that light, and suddenly there was no trace of him. And as if I could no longer hold back, tears flowed down my cheeks. Qin Ming gently patted me again, saying why are you crying, this is not your purpose, now that you have achieved it, you should have been happy.
Although the words say so, but I just can't help my tears, can only bow his head and bite his lips tightly, do not make a sound.
But not a moment later, I heard someone shouting my name, saying Tan Xi.
I raised my head and looked towards the front, only to see that Lu Yao had also stood at the edge of the stone door, she had long since lost that kind of clear and elegant appearance, the skin and flesh on her body can be said to be miserable, only that one face, without too many changes, she crouched with one hand on top of the stone door, her body was askew, and she seemed to be weak and could not stand on her feet. But even so, still insisted on shouting towards me, said, I know I am sorry for you, but now I have to go, just want to sincerely say a word with you, no matter you believe it or not is good …… I really like it, you do not know I am the painted skin of that period of time ……
She paused for a moment, turned her head, looked at the light in front of the stone door, took a deep breath, and said, I don t know if there is the so-called reincarnation in this world. But I hope that if there really is, in your next life, you won t meet me …… again.
After Lu Yao finished, he bit his lips tightly, and without waiting for my response, as if he was afraid to hear my response in general, he violently took a step forward, just like my father, and disappeared forever behind the stone door.
It was as if all the previous sorrows and joys, all the grudges, had ceased to exist with their departure.
