Yes, it's time to go, I slept under the boundary monument all night, and my whole body, my whole heart was filled with a sense of peace and quiet, facing Jueyuan's words, it was as if he was telling me that it was time to go to work.

Compared to me, the others were a little nervous, but they were much better than yesterday, so we washed up and ate some dry food, and we set off.

The thickness of the boundary monument is only 5 meters, and according to the standard footsteps of an adult man, it is only five steps, and at most it is a distance of six or seven steps, but these 5 meters are like a clear dividing line, after we cross these 5 meters, the heavens and the earth change.

Originally, when we looked at this side from the side of the boundary monument, all we saw was a thick tumbling mist, but after we completely crossed the boundary monument, there was still the mist that could not be dissolved, and everything in front of us was very clear.

I can't describe what it was, the purple-red sky, low and heavy above, and the hillside on this side no longer had the winding path, but was full of large fields of wildflowers.

This wildflower is a pale color, but at the top of the petals there is a fierce red, irregular, like a drop of blood on the white canvas, beautiful with a sense of cruelty.

At the bottom of the hillside, it was a foggy place, and according to my understanding, it should be a lake, but I couldn't see it clearly.

"It's beautiful here, it seems to best explain what the cruel beauty of death is, the combination of fuchsia, pale, and bright red is very cruel, even the best painter in the world can't use the most extreme, the most gorgeous colors to show a world that belongs to death, but nature can do it, heaven and earth can do it." It was Brother Chengqing who spoke, he rarely said so much, but I knew that the taciturn Brother Chengqing had a deep understanding of painting, whether it was Chinese painting or Western painting, the scenery in front of him shocked him.

This kind of beauty is too unsettling, from the bottom of the heart to produce a psychedelic feeling of not being steady, looking back, but to find that the boundary monument is still behind us, from the bottom of the heart rose a sense of security, as if in the heaven and earth, that touch of vicissitudes with green marks of gray is the most determined force, to resolve the impact of these extreme colors to us.

"Let's go." I said quietly, the wind ruffled my hair, and in the sea of flowers that stuck to the ground in front of me, I actually saw two hidden roads leading in different directions.

Which way to go? I don't know anything about it.

Jueyuan said behind me: "The north is new and the south is old, since you are going to the new city, take the path facing north." ”

I nodded, and walked in the front, with a strange aroma in the wind, like the most exotic cocktail, in the dreamy sweetness, mixed with the strongest smell of blood, which stimulates people to indulge.

It's a pity that none of the people present are determined people, and although this aroma is full of a stimulating and contradictory beauty, we don't care about it at this time.

Jueyuan commented very strangely, the flowers here do not parasitize any spirits, but people who are not determined to smell this kind of flower fragrance for a long time, it is no different from taking drugs.

Is it? But I pursed the corners of my mouth, I was silent, I didn't care about the so-called aroma at all, the boundary monument shocked me too strangely, from the feeling of flesh and blood in my bones, my mind was always in the boundary monument, I really didn't care about these things.

I even have this thought in my heart, I feel the boundary monument, and those who have been baptized by the boundary monument will no longer be afraid of this fragrance, even if it makes people sink and indulge, and even if this fragrance contains a deep hidden despair, it doesn't matter.

When I came, it was an uphill road, but when I went, it was a downhill road, and as the distance narrowed, the wind blew, and I was finally able to see clearly in the distance.

It's still a purple-red sky, low and pressed in the sky, and where the fog is churning, it is the calm lake, the lake is reflected by the purple-red sky, and it also shows a blurry purple-red, but what destroys all this is the chaotic existence on the lake.

At first, I couldn't see clearly, but when I got closer, I realized that so quietly staying on the surface of the lake, motionless, turned out to be boats, big, small, about to decay, and new, just scattered on the surface of the lake, looking a little heavy.

"It's a ship that has had an accident here for hundreds of years, and it turns out that it's all here?" It was Brother Chengxin who spoke, and he walked behind me, also suffering from this stimulation, the shock of smell and sight, the impact of sweet fragrance and death images.

"The water here doesn't seem to be flowing at all, and the boats don't move! Flowing water is never terrible, and it is only with such stagnant water that you can sink anything. Ruyue didn't know when, she was parallel to me again, and she suddenly said such words, which made my heart sink a little more.

The legendary Huangquan River, the difficulty of flying birds, is it windy and waves, or is it just like this? My heart involuntarily thought, maybe the ferryman there knows, is there a ferryman here?

Xiao Chengqian was more realistic, most of the lake could be seen clearly, but there were always two places shrouded in fog, and he said, "The city hasn't been seen yet?" We don't have a boat anymore, do we want to swim in the carcasses of this boat? ”

The corpse of the boat naturally refers to the wreckage of the ship, whether new or old, floating on the surface of the lake, but we don't think it's humor at all, but it adds a bit of weight to our hearts.

Brother Chengxin naturally looked at Jueyuan, Jueyuan shook his head and said that he didn't know, he may know the rules of entering the boundary monument, but after the boundary monument is the forbidden area, how can he know, what should he do behind this? After all, his senior didn't say anything, and even kept it secret.

But at this time in my heart, I have an indescribable feeling, that is, if we go on, we will know the way, if we don't know for the time being, just wait, there must be a way.

With this in mind, I quickened my pace, walked down, and then turned to the person behind me and said, "Let's go, I shouldn't be trapped here." ”

As I said this, I saw the boundary monument again, and its figure was still clearly standing on the top of the island, and I was inexplicably at ease.

The road up to the summit is not far, and the road down is naturally not too far, about ten minutes later, we came to the end of this hillside, at the end, there is no sand, but hard rock, the strange flower spreads all the way to the lake, occasionally the purple lake water flutters up, the flower trembles slightly.

It's not completely stagnant, but except for the water on the shore, the water in the lake is really completely still, and there are no ordinary water waves, which makes people's hearts extremely depressed.

The nearest wreck was floating less than ten meters away, it was just an ordinary fishing boat, it was rotten and not decent, but it could barely maintain its float on the water, and there were two skeletons on the boat, one lying on the bow of the boat, and the other sitting in the cabin, with his head up, looking a little shocking.

I turned my head, not wanting to think about what kind of despair they must have felt before dying in this environment, or that they were already dead when their ship floated in here, but under the boundary monument, may they get a rest, just like the grass that Jueyuan told Hui Gen'er, from twisted and hideous to peaceful and peaceful, and finally transcendent

"Chengyi, we're here, but there's not even a bird here, what do you say?" Xiao Chengqian deliberately didn't look at the boat, and suddenly changed the topic for me.

I simply sat down, lit a cigarette, and said to Xiao Chengqian: "Wait! Or swim, you choose. ”

Xiao Chengqian was a little helpless, took off his coat, and said to me: "Dude, don't provoke me, really, don't provoke me, ah!" "He's really anxious.

But he didn't want to run a few steps away, picked up Xiao Chengqian's coat, and shouted: "Don't be still, hand-made, what a waste." As he spoke, he suddenly looked at Xiao Chengqian and said, "Teacher, for example, I asked Dingyuan to sew a piece of clothing for me, is that considered a handmade custom?" ”

Xiao Chengqian was so happy by Jueyuan that he couldn't care about being angry with me, so he snatched his coat from Jueyuan's hand and said, "What are you talking about?" If you think that Dingyuan has that craftsmanship, and it is a senior and famous fashion designer, what am I talking about? You too, think of a way, right? ”

At this time, I stared into the distance and said, "Don't think about it, isn't this coming?" ”

"What's coming?" My words immediately caught everyone's attention, and everyone drove off into the distance.

Isn't there a small boat floating in the depths of the fog?
