The boundless darkness seemed to be in slumber, and the breathing was indistinct.
Since it was darkness, how could one know that it was boundless? Because as far as one could see, there was only darkness, as if there was no substance, and one had become the embodiment of nothingness. It was like returning to one's mother's body, surrounded by some kind of silence, but lacking a kind of supreme warmth. — — That was the safest haven in the world, that was the irreplaceable land of gentleness.
Wandering around, empty.
Want to go out? Perhaps not. Although there was no warmth here, it was like returning home, and there were no ripples in one's heart. One could wander around aimlessly, and even if one passed by the abyss of hell, one could pretend not to see it. How delightful was that? It was like a thief who had stolen an important treasure from a lord, and was running with all his might to escape to the ends of the earth.
But where was the ends of the earth? Where was the ends of the earth?
Stop and think again: So the most painful expression has no emotion; so the cruelest scene can be said with sweet words; so there was no meaning in running here, everything was just an illusion; so this was the charm of the boundless secular world. Whether it was sadness, pain, happiness, or happiness, it was like an infinitely expanding gas that filled the soul, making it infinitely bigger, and thus creating infinite possibilities.
There was nothing in nothingness.
Sadness, pain, pain, happiness, all of these were gone; even if there was only pain, it could prove that one was not a puppet.
Wake up! Wake up!
Yan Li slowly opened his eyes, and saw the hexagonal wooden chandelier of the Resentful Yuan Tower. He remembered the layout of the room clearly, and slowly woke up.
The orange sunset shone in through the window, and on the wall beside the bed, it created a gorgeous picture, as beautiful as a mural.
A slight movement of his limbs triggered a series of "ding ding dang dang dang" sounds.
Four iron chains made of black iron were tied around his limbs, and even his neck was shackled. His neck was sore, and it was especially uncomfortable.
The movement in the room alarmed the people outside. There were two of them, and one of them hurriedly ran out.
Not long after, two footsteps were heard, and the door was pushed open. Chang Shan walked in with two waiters, and said, "You're awake?"
Yan Li tilted his head to look at him, and said, "How long have I been unconscious?"
"It's been almost a day and a night." Chang Shan took a chair and sat beside him.
Yan Li raised his hand and said, "What is the meaning of this? Why am I here? "
"Someone sent you here and tied you up with these things." Chang Shan said calmly, "I also know another piece of news. Tomorrow at noon, you will be taken to the Meridian Gate to be beheaded. As the saying goes, 'It is better to be a full ghost than to die.' What do you want to eat tonight, or if you have any wishes, you can tell me. I will do my best to satisfy you. "
However, his eyes did not miss the details on Yan Li's face.
Yan Li only responded with a "hmm" and did not say anything else.
Chang Shan frowned slightly and said, "Do you have any other wishes? Could it be that you've been seeking death for a long time? "
Yan Li smiled and said, "I'm more curious as to why you're the one who bought it for me and not someone else."
The waiter did not treat prisoners well, even those imprisoned in the Resentful Yuan Tower. He said eccentrically, "Then you better listen up. Master Chang is the new shopkeeper of the Resentful Yuan Tower. His Majesty has handed all the matters here to him to handle. It can be said that the Emperor favors him greatly. I advise you to be more cautious in your attitude. Don't call him 'you' so casually, at least use some respect. Otherwise, if you anger Master Chang, you'll suffer."
"Why do you have so much nonsense to say?" Chang Shan coldly glanced at him.
The waiter was instantly frightened into silence.
"Then I'll congratulate you," Yan Li said calmly.
Chang Shan waved his hand and said, "All of you can leave."
The two waiters hurriedly retreated and closed the door on the way.
After they had all left, Chang Shan slowly said, "Fate is fickle, and opportunities change from time to time. It is truly unpredictable. Before yesterday, I was still the lowliest waiter here, but today, I've become its master. It was hard for me to predict such a change, so I was not prepared at all. Where did the joy come from? Who knows what mysteries are hidden inside. "
"As expected of a teacher." Yan Li lazily replied.
Chang Shan did not mind his contempt and asked in confusion, "Why did you kill Master Zhan? I'm really curious, what kind of hatred did you have for him? Although I obtained an opportunity because of it, I can't feel happy at all. "
Yan Li said, "When did you learn the poet's' sorrow for spring and sorrow for autumn '?' Moaning without illness' is not a good habit. I don't think Ji Tiansheng can hear your 'sour words'. It's better to think it over. The essence of flattery might allow you to reach the heavens in a single step. "
"Reach the heavens in a single step?" Chang Shan sneered. "Then I'm very afraid! The higher you climb, the harder you fall. For example, you. I believe that this lesson will be unforgettable, even though you will never have the chance to make up for it. "
"What if I don't die?" Yan Li suddenly said.
Chang Shan was startled and said with a smile, "I still don't believe that anyone can survive if His Majesty wants them to die."
Yan Li smiled and said, "I believe that I will be an exception."
"Where does your confidence come from?" Chang Shan asked.
"How about we make a bet?" Yan Li said.
Chang Shan said with interest, "I'm very willing to hear the stakes."
Yan Li said, "If I die, you can find the 'Green Lotus Sword Song' from my corpse. If I don't die, then I will take something from you."
Hearing the two words' Green Lotus', Chang Shan's pupils suddenly shrank. His eyes flickered and slowly calmed down. He said, "What do I have on me that is worth it for it to make an equal trade?"
Yan Li said, "No, it is just to tempt you. That thing on you is not essential. Just treat it as a blessing for you to receive the Emperor's favor."
"Deal!" Chang Shan was a little impatient.
…
Illustrious Virtue Gate.
When the Black and White Impermanence heard Yan Shiyi's derogatory words, they were infuriated. The Black Impermanence had a bad temper. He said angrily, "Brat, I, the Black Impermanence, have roamed the divine continent for more than a hundred years. I have lived for more years than you. How dare you speak to me with such an attitude!"
"Old people who don't die are thieves!" Yan Shiyi sneered, "Look at your eyes, they don't look like eyes and your eyebrows don't look like eyebrows. There has never been any impermanence or impermanence on the Asura List. Are you roaming the wind and clouds or mud?"
"Wah wah wah — this brat is pissing me off!"
The two old men flew into a rage. They jumped up at the same time. One of them used his right hand, and the other used his left. Both of them spat out an icy cold air from their palms, which turned into a long cold force. It dispersed and brushed past the people around them, making them feel as if they were being cut by a knife.
The two's palm forces combined and twisted into a huge ice snake. It crazily tried to bite Yan Shiyi.
Yan Shiyi's right hand lightly held the hilt of his blade. He chuckled softly.
Clang!
The blade flashed and drew a beautiful arc. It broke through the ice snake like a hot knife through butter.
