My father also had a swing at home when I was a child. ”

Xiang Wei poked his head out of the bronze mirror, facing the swing that was wandering around, and seemed to be a little sentimental, "At that time, the child's favorite thing was to listen to the story of his mother while swinging. ”

"The child still remembers that when he first became literate, he carved some words with a knife on the tree where the swing was tied, but he didn't know that they were still there. ”

"I'll take you back when I have time. ”

Gu Juan comforted Xiang Wei in a warm voice, and was just about to turn around and leave, but he stopped suddenly, squinted his eyes and looked at the tree trunk on one side, took a deep breath and said slowly, "Do you remember what words were carved on the tree at that time?"

Xiang Wei said, "It's the simplest ones, heaven and earth, parents and children...... Later, I carved a whole sentence, I want to grow up quickly. ”

"That's the case......" Gu Juan nodded slightly, his eyes focused on the trunk of the tree, where there happened to be a few words crookedly engraved, which looked like a child's graffiti work.

Heaven and earth, parents and children......

I want to grow up quickly.

Gu Juan sighed quietly, and reached out to hold the handle of the axe, which was as warm as jade.

In an instant, the red flame and blue fire rose, and a cold light appeared and disappeared.

There was a crisp click, and the tree with the words was cut off with an axe, and then the red flame climbed up, quickly burning it into a cloud of ashes.

"There aren't any experience points or health inputs, so the tree and the swing aren't alien creatures. ”

Gu Juan thought silently, and suddenly a whimpering cry sounded from behind him.

He jerked around and saw a small child appear behind him at some point.

It's a little boy with a pot head.

"You broke my swing, my dad made it for me. His face was pale, and his eyes without any sparkle stared straight at Gu Ju.

Gu Juan and the little boy looked at each other, reached out and patted the bronze mirror in his arms, "Wei'er, come out of the mirror to see yourself." ”

"Father, I don't feel anything. ”

"Oh?" he said with a little surprise, "did you hear a little boy talking just now?"

The child only heard his father talking, and did not hear anything else. ”

Gu Juan nodded slightly, and without hesitation, he dropped an axe.

He dropped his axe, but he slashed it empty.

The little boy who was almost exactly the same as Xiang Wei disappeared directly at the moment when he took out the axe.

Gu Juan frowned slightly and looked down at the ground.

Where the little boy was standing just now, a pair of small footprints appeared, engraved on a thin layer of ash that had begun to lay flat on the ground at some point, and it looked unusually conspicuous.

These ashes are not normal.

It's not the dust accumulated by not cleaning every day, but with a smell of ruin and destruction, which is somewhat similar to what I've seen in manors outside the city.

"It seems that my guess is correct. ”

Gu Juan picked up a little ash from the ground and looked closely, and unexpectedly found that it contained wisps of energy, and it seemed to be energy that could be absorbed by Qiankun.

This discovery made him quite excited, but heartbeat does not mean action, especially when this kind of strange event is involved, it is impossible to be too cautious.

Even though his current strength has improved much compared to before, he even said that when he traveled the world, he had seen a lot of extremely strange things, some of which were even beyond imagination, and the existence of the enemy could be directly destroyed by the secret method of the imperial envoy.

He thought that he was still a long way from the return of his heyday, so he did not dare to be arrogant, and would rather bear a name from the heart than step on the air in carelessness and die.

After blowing away the little ashes stained on his fingers, Gu Juan fell into thought and began to compare the similarities and differences between these ashes and the gray mist inside the Nine Shadows Gate.

Heaven and Earth Infinite Qiankun borrowing method is not very cold for the spiritual elements that are beginning to grow stronger in the heavens and the earth, although they can also be absorbed for their own use, but the efficiency is lower than that of other methods, but what makes it most useful is the chaotic gray mist that escapes from the Nine Shadows Gate, which is something that other cultivation methods cannot absorb.

As a result, Qiankun also showed his love for these ashes now, which had to make him suspicious, trying to figure out what kind of connection there was between the ashes and the gray mist.

One thing that also needs to be paid special attention to is that after a series of events, he has been extremely vigilant and jealous of the Nine Shadows Gate, the Chaos Gray Mist, and even the Qiankun Borrowing Method known as the Karma Evil Law, and he did not dare to make great strides forward as long as he had the opportunity as before, but had a lot of thinking and scrutiny.

The ash on the ground was getting thicker and thicker, and in a short time it had grown from a thin layer of salt to an inch thick, and it was still increasing.

As the ashes thickened, the whole courtyard seemed to become more mysterious and obscure, and all the items seemed to be covered with a layer of frosted glass, which always seemed to give him a very unreal feeling to the touch.

Gu Juan frowned slightly, and red lotuses appeared in the void in front of him, and then he stepped up step by step, came to the air of more than ten zhang, and looked at the mansion condescendingly.

He wanted to know if there was a problem with Liu Yu's mansion, or if the entire Beicang City had begun to be covered with these ashes.

At a glance, Gu Ju's pupils suddenly shrank to the size of a pinpoint.

One zhang is three meters, and the height of one floor is about three meters, so he is now equivalent to looking down at the height of a dozen floors, although he dare not say that he can see the whole picture of the entire Beicang City, but there is no problem in sweeping the front and back streets horizontally.

But now the reality is that no matter which direction he looks, he can only see a hazy gray, and even the Liu Mansion directly below is completely gone.

Gu Juan exhaled lightly, chose a direction and started to move forward, and after walking a certain distance, he unexpectedly touched a barrier, and then changed to another direction to do the same.

"Is entering that door the equivalent of stepping into a closed cell?"

"I didn't expect such a situation to occur directly in Beicang City, so since I have fallen into the trap because I am not careful enough, then I just continue to go sideways. ”

He pondered for a moment, gave up the idea of brute force for the time being, and walked down the red lotus stairs step by step, back to the withered and corrupt little garden.

After cutting down another large tree and burning it, he walked through the back door of the garden and continued to walk deeper.

The ash on the ground was getting thicker and thicker, and it was like stepping on top of a layer of snow, making a creaking sound.

Correspondingly, a faint gray mist gradually began to fill the air, and the visibility quickly decreased, even if the red flame was ignited, it could only vaguely see the distance around the body.

He walked all the way in this environment, and soon came to a high blue-gray wall.

The high wall stretches out to the left and right, and there is almost no end in sight, except for a closed door on the wall, which is also carved with intricate patterns.

Gu Juan asked the bad dog to record these lines one by one for later reference, and then reached out and grabbed the handle of the door and pushed it gently.

The next moment, he narrowed his eyes in some surprise and looked left and right at a narrow aisle sandwiched between two high gray walls.
