Chapter 214 God's Descent 05
Pain, pain, pain!
As soon as Jiang Yuelu opened his eyes, he felt a sharp pain all over his body. The tentacles of the plants twisted and twisted in his flesh, and every inch of his skin turned into soil, allowing countless flowers to take root hungrily.
He twitched on the spot for a while, and then passed out due to the pain.
When I opened my eyes again, I didn't know what time it was.
Fortunately, the pain eventually went away.
Is this an illusion?
But the cold sweat and flower-like scars on his body reminded him that it was not an illusion. Why did strange flowers grow on his body...
As soon as this idea came to mind, it was like a fuse that suddenly appeared, detonating the memories that had been painfully lost before.
Flowers, no mourning flowers.
He, Jiang Yuelu.
He is Jiang Yuelu.
It’s not Jiang Yuelu.
He was not an abandoned child, nor did he grow up in an orphanage. His real relative, Jiang Rihu, had died many years ago, and he was a relic left over from an ancient time.
This was not his first time at the academy. On the contrary, he had been learning witchcraft for a long time.
At that time, he was only seventeen years old, and was the troublemaker that gave the teachers the most headaches. His brother Jiang Rihu was extremely worried about him. His brother thought about him during the day and cried at night, hoping that smoke would rise from the ancestral graves, just waiting for Jiang Yuelu to pass the academy's assessment and regain the qualification of a wizard.
Fortunately, he has good qualifications. If he follows the rules, Jiang Rihu may be able to achieve his wish.
But the academy had long been wary of the Jiang family, and with the Jiang family's former clan god awakening, they decided to completely eliminate the Jiang family on the night of the Ghost Festival... When he didn't know, fate was moving forward according to the predetermined trajectory. Unfortunately, at that time, Jiang Rihu didn't know, and he didn't know either.
Many years later, he stood from the perspective of an observer and finally saw clearly the position of everyone in this story.
Zhongyuan night.
All the characters appeared that night, each with his or her own conspiracy and calculations.
Academy, den of ghosts; gods, ghosts; wizards, demons; even within a small team of wizards, there are countless minds and each has his or her own stance.
All parties came on stage, and a turning point occurred that night.
That night, he...
Jiang Yuelu paused for a moment.
He found that his memory was still fragmented. His last memory was that he fell to the ground seriously injured... "Hiss..." Jiang Yuelu recalled that moment and his heart began to ache inexplicably. He pressed his heart, but couldn't remember why he felt so heartbroken.
Then... Kong Zhuning picked him up, and Kong Zhuning and Tong Mian's uncle followed the will of the gods and took him to [All Things Grow] to recuperate.
As for how he was injured... Jiang Yuelu didn't remember.
This memory is blank.
According to Kong Zhuning and the others, he was with Xia Yi at the beginning... Frankly speaking, he was fed up with these retellings of the past. Instead of letting those people tell him the lost memories over and over again, it would be better for him to ask Xia Yi in person.
But where did Xia Yi go?
Xia Yi...
When Jiang Yuelu thought of him, a lot of complex emotions rushed into his heart, making his internal organs feel indescribably uncomfortable. He closed his eyes tightly to let the turbulent emotions pass.
He is no longer the 20-something Jiang Yuelu. He is the 17-year-old Jiang Yuelu who found the lost god in the Jiang family's attic. They knew each other for a few months, and then it came to an abrupt end. Then he went to [All Things Grow] and his memory and life were changed. After several years, he and Xia Yi had been separated for several years...
Jiang Yuelu felt her mind was in a mess.
When he opened his eyes, it seemed as if he was back in that small attic, looking at Xia Yi smiling.
When I closed my eyes, I heard Yan Lu and Yan Fei calling me brother again.
My mind went blank.
...He didn't know what to do now. What was his goal? To find the bodies of his brothers and sisters and avenge them?
But all of this disappeared with their absence.
The goal he had been caring about was shattered, and he even lost the feeling of anger. Now he was very tired, more tired than ever before. He wanted to dig out his brain, not think about anything, and just lie here like an idiot.
here?
Only then did Jiang Yuelu notice the surrounding environment.
This place looks like a cave, but the light is sufficient because there is a waterfall at the entrance of the cave. This scene is very similar to the Water Curtain Cave in the TV series, with the waterfall hanging at the entrance of the cave, and the water waves are transparent, reflecting the rippling waves on the ground and the cave wall.
If his hands and feet hadn't been tied, this place would have seemed like a paradise.
"Tick-tock, tick-tock..."
The cave was very humid, and water was constantly seeping out of the walls. Over the years, it dripped and formed small pools of water. There were such pools everywhere, and there was one at Jiang Yuelu's feet.
He moved to the edge of the pool and looked at his face.
Seventeen years old, that’s right.
It seemed that he had inexplicably returned to the past. Was it Kong Zhuning who did it? Jiang Yuelu admired him for being able to do this under the eyes of the gods. But Kong Zhuning's situation would be very difficult.
Jiang Yuelu was not worried about him.
Now he has a mentality of "broken jar, broken jar".
He probably knew why Kong Zhuning sent him here. At that time, he was just waiting for the gods to dissect his soul, and it was a dead end no matter how he looked at it. But why did he come back? Was it to buy time or was there really a solution here?
Jiang Yuelu didn't care about the lives of Kong Zhuning and others. He didn't even care about his own. After all, it was a body in exchange for a life. If the gods wanted it, they would give it to him. What did the destruction of the world have to do with him?
It has nothing to do with him anymore.
What supports him now is a pair of red eyes.
Those eyes belonged to his companion who had never changed in the past and the present, his friend, and his favorite person. Yes, a human. He never regarded Xia Yi as a god. What was good about gods? Ghosts were more like humans than gods.
He wanted to see Xia Yi... wanted to find him and have a chat with him.
They hadn't had a good conversation for a long time. They thought it was just a few copies, but they didn't expect that they had missed so much time.
Does Xia Yi know all this? He knows. He even remembers the name Jiang Yuelu.
He has never forgotten "Jiang Yuelu"...
Jiang Yuelu wanted to cry. He was not so hypocritical when he was in his twenties. His seventeen-year-old body and soul were too weak. But he really wanted to cry. Xia Yi always remembered him. Even he himself forgot the name Jiang Yuelu and became another identity somewhere else.
But he still remembers.
Always remember.
Thinking of their first meeting, he said to himself while spinning his teacup, "I used to have a friend with the same name as you." Thinking of him realizing that his identity was different, chasing him out and holding his throat, planting the seeds of fate again and again... Scenes passed by before my eyes, more dazzling than the rippling water before my eyes.
"So, I must go see him." Jiang Yuelu made up her mind.
After expressing his determination, he seemed to regain his confidence.
Because his hands and feet were tied, he took a lot of effort to move to the edge of the cave. He took a deep breath and rushed into the rapids. Water droplets hit his face. He drank several sips of water before he could barely open his eyes. When he looked outside, he fell silent.
“…”
This cave is exactly the same as the Water Curtain Cave, and is suspended on a high cliff.
Looking down, it was bottomless. He finally experienced what it felt like to play bungee jumping. Yanyin had always liked this kind of thrilling project, but he never went when asked to do it... As he thought about it, the smile froze on his lips.
Without time to be depressed, Jiang Yuelu took a deep breath and rushed into the water. After a few tries, she finally figured out the situation outside.
First of all, this cave is suspended in the middle of the cliff. Judging from the direction of the surrounding rocks, it seems that it is some distance away from the highest point.
Secondly, it was even higher if he looked down. There was a large pool of water below, and he might not survive even if he jumped down with his hands and feet intact, not to mention that his hands and feet were tied.
It doesn’t reach the sky above and it doesn’t touch the ground below.
This situation of being neither up nor down is so similar to his awkward life.
Jiang Yuelu slowly moved back to his original position. The way out of the cave was completely blocked. Now he wanted to see if there was a ray of hope in the cave. Strangely enough, his hands and feet were obviously tied up by someone, and he could see that these ropes were enchanted to make it difficult for him to break free.
First they tied him up, and then threw him here.
This is a double insurance to prevent him from escaping.
What a scheming person... Who did it? Apart from the group of wizards who wanted to settle accounts with the Jiang family, it should be no one else.
Did they tie him up but not kill him in order to threaten Xia Yi? Use him as bait to lure Xia Yi out? Thinking of what he had heard before, that the wizards used him to trick Xia Yi out of the Jiang family, Jiang Yuelu could no longer sit still, and moved anxiously towards the deeper part of the cave like a worm.
The friction with the ground was so great that he didn't even notice that his clothes were torn.
He didn't even notice that his brows were slightly glowing.
After a while, he climbed to the depths. Unlike the outside, the light inside the cave was dim, and the smell was not as clean as outside. If you smelled carefully, you could smell a faint smell of blood and decay.
Neither blood nor rottenness were good omens. Jiang Yuelu hesitated. It was completely dark ahead, and the light could no longer reach him. He had no power to fight back at this moment. What if the unlucky wizards set a trap for him? It didn't matter if he died, but he still had something to say to Xia Yi.
As he was hesitating, the sound of chains rattling suddenly came from not far away.
Why are there chains?
Jiang Yuelu turned around subconsciously.
They were already far away from the cave entrance, and the sound of water was no longer deafening. The unexpected sound of the chain was very eye-catching. Jiang Yuelu turned his head, moved back vigilantly, and stared at the darkness.
The stench of decay grew stronger.
“Crash…crash…”
Suddenly, heavy rain fell from the top of the cave. Jiang Yuelu was unable to avoid it and most of it got soaked. The rain felt strange and sticky, and it smelled familiar, as if it was the stench of decay and blood that had just wafted over.
This doesn't look like rain...
He might have been a little misled by the sound of water. Judging from the color and taste of these liquids, they were more like——
“Woo…”
A deafening whistle came from the front, and Jiang Yuelu grabbed the dry grass beside him to avoid being blown out of the cave. Although the whistle stopped, the wind was still very strong. He squinted his eyes, and looked headlong against the huge force, and his eyes met with the giant figure that appeared in the darkness.
A pair of huge eyeballs appeared in front of him.
