Chapter 544: Resurrection from the Dying
Beside the elephant bone mud pit, Yan Lang and the Taoist priest Bu Quan stood quietly, and around them—
Rong Jiang, Rong Yi, Duan Jie and Fu Lin led the armored soldiers of the Tianwei Army to guard the surroundings.
In addition, there were nearly a hundred masked and black-clad Black Sparrow Secret Guards standing by.
Runhe and Lu Liang rubbed their hands nervously and paced back and forth anxiously.
Huo Gannian's tall and slender figure stood closest to the edge of the pit.
He didn't move, his back was straight, his mouth was tightly pursed into a straight line, and his eyelashes were wet and trembling, clearly revealing his inner panic.
He stared at Yun Chen in the elephant bone mud pit without blinking, not knowing and having no idea what Yun Chen was going through at the moment.
At the beginning, her brows were struggling, sweat was dripping from her forehead, and she kept groaning in pain. It seemed that she was not "dead" yet, and she must be fighting with Demon Slayer.
Then she looked sad again and kept crying. It must be the time when she said goodbye to all her closest friends and relatives one by one.
Finally, before the short dusk was over, she suddenly stopped making any sound or movement.
Everyone around was shocked by this change, their hearts sinking to the bottom. Rong Yi's eyes went dark, and he collapsed to the ground, sobbing like a child.
Yan Lang rushed forward and anxiously checked Yun Chen's breath and pulse. Then his face turned pale and he froze in place.
Looking at Yan Lang's movements and expressions, Huo Gannian understood that that one in a thousand had failed after all.
His face turned pale in an instant, his body swayed, and he fell straight into the pit.
Fortunately, Lu Liang was quick-witted and quick-handed, and he and several Black Sparrow Secret Guards quickly came up to support Huo Gannian, allowing him to steady his steps.
His face turned as pale as death, but he soon recovered.
"All of you, please step back," he said.
The people around him immediately understood that Huo Gannian was going to dismiss everyone and commit suicide here to follow Yun Chen. They all knelt down and begged in a mournful voice, "Your Majesty, please think twice."
Huo Gannian was unusually impatient and waved his hand to signal everyone to shut up.
His eyes were filled with Yun Chen, as if he was afraid that he would not die fast enough, or that he would not be able to catch up if he was a step late.
"Retreat! Everyone retreat!" He ordered again urgently, and then went to take Lu Liang's sword. Unexpectedly, Lu Liang dodged faster than a rabbit, which made Huo Gannian stunned for a moment.
"Bring me the sword!" Huo Gannian ordered in a deep voice.
Lu Liang's face flushed red, and he gritted his teeth: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I'm sorry I can't obey your order!"
Huo Gannian frowned in shock and anger, but at this moment he obviously had no time to argue with Lu Liang, so he turned to the secret guards and soldiers next to him to get his sword.
Who would have thought that with Lu Liang taking the lead, everyone retreated in unison as if they had agreed beforehand, hiding all over the field. Huo Gannian was like an eagle catching chickens, staring blankly in anger, unable to get a single knife or sword.
Duan Jie and the others went even further, rushing forward and surrounding Huo Gannian with the "Pig Binding Technique", making him unable to move, which annoyed him so much that he flew into a rage:
"Get out! Get out of here!!"
"No! No way!" Duan Jie and his men started to act like scoundrels: "Kill us all if you dare! You go chase Yun Chen! We'll all go too! It'll be more lively with more people!"
These inappropriate words completely destroyed the heavy and serious atmosphere of the love suicide, and all the sad atmosphere was gone.
Yun Chen looked at the scene in the book and was crying and laughing at the same time, and couldn't help grinning.
But as she was having fun, she felt something was wrong:
Shit, isn't this what's happening outside right now?!
Huo Gannian was about to commit suicide outside! But she was still reading a book with great interest!
Look, look! Look again! It's really like we're going to be separated forever!
Thinking of this, Yun Chen rolled and crawled out, looking for the door with halo everywhere.
But after searching for a long time, all I could see was endless nothingness and books, there was no exit at all.
She ran around, searching, and when she was about to cry, a red thread flew from afar and floated slowly before her eyes.
This line is different from any other line. It connects to no book and does not cross any other red line.
There was only one, bright red and beautiful, that gently held Yun Chen's hand, and then began to hold it tighter and tighter, carrying her all the way.
For some reason, Yun Chen didn't feel scared at all. She felt like the red line was specifically there to help her escape.
Amidst the violent turbulence, she looked towards the other end of the line, trying to find the source, but she only saw a group of green mountains covered with mist and a spirit bird flapping its wings and singing.
On the long stone steps that seemed to have no end, a vague figure was kneeling devoutly.
A huge amount of emotion emanated continuously from the figure, condensing into a red line in the air, and flew straight to Yun Chen as if guided by fate.
Soon, the red thread brought Yun Chen to a white door, and then the circle of bright red that was holding her hand suddenly broke with a "snap" and slowly turned into a wisp of red mist and disappeared.
"Thank you."
She said gratefully to the unknown red thread, then remembered that Huo Gannian was still waiting for her outside. She didn't dare to delay any longer, so she quickly pushed the door open and dove in.
I didn't realize it wasn't a door, it was a skylight! It opened downwards, and I stepped on empty air and fell through.
The strong feeling of weightlessness made her wave her arms desperately, making gestures and screaming "Ahhh".
The consciousness was playing the game of jumping off a cliff, and the real body also reacted, bouncing slightly and making a painful "puppy whimper", which immediately confused everyone who was busy playing "Eagle Catches Chicken" next to the elephant bone mud pit.
Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at the elephant bone mud pit in shock.
The next moment, Yun Chen was like a zombie awakened by lightning. His limbs twitched and he jumped out of the pit with a cry of "Ah!"
She patted the elephant bone mud off her body and spat out the dirt in her mouth.
Her eyes swept across the audience, whose eyes were as wide as bells in surprise, and finally landed on Huo Gannian, her gaze meeting his.
She frowned and walked step by step to Huo Gannian, looking up at him with a stunned look that she had never seen before. She wanted to laugh but held it back.
Then she saw his ecstatic eyes and tears slowly welling up in them, and she felt sad again.
At this moment, there are so many complicated emotions.
There is the joy of being resurrected from the dead, the forgiveness of all past love, hate, and vengeance, the helplessness after seeing the truth of this world, and something indescribable...
I'm angry.
Huo Gannian wanted to commit suicide for love. Although she was moved, she still wanted to scold him for being too irresponsible!
If he died, where would the people of the Three Kingdoms find another emperor with both talent and virtue?
There was also the matter of taking her to an elephant cemetery and using elephant bone mud to detoxify her.
Although he did it to save her, he still deceived and plotted against her!
The more Yun Chen thought about it, the angrier he became, and his brows furrowed deeper.
Huo Gannian didn't notice how dark her face was at all. He called out "Chen'er" with tears in his eyes and was about to hug her, but he saw a flash of light and shadow in front of him, and with a "slap", a solid slap hit his face.
After Yun Chen slapped her once, he seemed not to feel relieved and raised his hand to slap her again.
Huo Gannian was obviously stunned by the first slap, and only reacted after the second slap.
When Yun Chen slapped him for the third time, he didn't dodge or avoid it. Instead, he laughed like a lunatic, with his mouth almost raised to the sky.
Duan Jie and the others who were trying desperately to stop Huo Gannian from committing suicide could not help but grin and curse in a low voice when they saw this ambiguous, strange and visually impactful scene from such a close distance:
"Fuck, he really enjoyed beating me!"
Everyone in the audience immediately turned around and retreated, walking out arm in arm, talking and laughing, with unconcealable excitement on their faces, and a sense of joy at having survived a disaster.
The Taoist priest also pulled the reluctant Yan Lang out:
"Let's go! Don't disturb the couple's reunion. Speaking of which, that guy cried when you said 'I just arrived at a time when spring wasn't here'. What a great performance!"
Yan Lang rolled his eyes at the Taoist priest who didn't allow him to do anything. "You know shit! 'Resurrection from the brink of death', you have to make her think she's really dying in order to trick the other personality. Before a person dies, hearing is the last thing to shut down, how can we not trick her?!"
"That's right, that's right. It's only a one in a thousand chance. To be honest, I never thought it would work, and I don't want to get involved in these mundane matters. What else can I do? That guy is like a bandit. He said that if my senior brother Guanxu doesn't come out again, he won't have to visit us and can just burn our mountain down. There's nothing I can do. Senior brother can only send me out..."
The Taoist priest was not allowed to open his mouth and chattered on and on about something, but Yan Lang was not interested in a single word he said. He kept turning his head to look at Huo Gannian and Yun Chen.
He felt a little sour, but more importantly, he was happy for Yun Chen.
"Yun Chen, your tribulations in the human world have ended now. From now on, you will only be happy and joyful, and there will be no more suffering."
Unfortunately, the sound was too small and didn't travel far enough.
Neither Huo Gannian nor Yun Chen heard it.
After everyone left, Yun Chen felt relieved after three slaps.
She felt a burning pain in her palm. Seeing that half of Huo Gannian's face was red and slightly swollen, she couldn't help but feel a little distressed, but she still frowned and said to him in a vicious manner:
"Mr. Huo! From now on! If you dare to lie to me or plot against me again in this life! I really don't want you anymore!!!"
He just smiled as he watched her angry face.
When she had exhausted all her breath, he pressed his tongue against her cheek, feeling the tingling sensation on her cheek, and raised his eyebrows to ask:
"Not angry anymore?"
"I'm not angry anymore!"
"Then it's my turn for the third time."
"What do you mean, you still want to fight back? Huh? Talk back? Um..."
A quarter of an hour later, under the setting sun, the two inseparable figures finally separated slightly.
A breathless voice paused, filled with an insatiable smile:
"The first one is done, let's start the second one——"
"I, uh..." Yun Chen had just uttered a word of curse when it was swallowed by someone.
Another quarter of an hour passed.
"The second one is done, then let's start the third one."
"Mr. Huo, you are so shameless..."
