After the hero goes crazy

Yao Wanning bit her lower lip, not daring to speak out.

Yao Shouning held Shizi's hand tightly, looked back, and saw Zhu Shizhen's soul body became transparent the moment he entered the water.

"Zhu Shizhen."

Meng Songyun, who was standing beside Yao Shouning, suddenly yelled. Zhu Shizhen, who was about to move forward, looked back, but saw Meng Songyun's eyes were deep:

"700 years ago, I did a divination for you."

Hearing what he said, Zhu Shizhen was a little surprised, raised his eyebrows, and signaled him to continue talking with his eyes.

He said:

"Among the hexagrams, you have no eternal life, no afterlife, and a limited lifespan, but neither birth nor death."

This kind of hexagram is very strange, as if 'he' is still alive, but the breath of 'him' can no longer be captured in this world.

If 'he' is dead, but the vitality of 'him' has not been cut off.

"500 years ago, after I made a breakthrough in my cultivation base, I did a fortune-telling again, and the ending remained the same." Meng Songyun looked at Zhu Shizhen's soul and reminded:

"You have to be careful."

He has practiced the path of ruthlessness, and his mind is peaceful, with no joy or sorrow.

Even though Yao Shouning had reminded him, he also has joys and sorrows, and he also has human inferiority.

Yao Shouning felt that he complained about the hypocrisy of Zhu Shizhen and others because he had love and hated him, but Meng Songyun couldn't feel this emotion at all.

He admits that he has a selfish side and is driven by the desire to become a god.

But he didn't feel that he loved these brothers.

The two sides have been separated for 700 years, and there has long been a estrangement. When Zhang Fuchen and Gu Jing left, they both greeted him respectively. He tried his best to feel the reluctance and pain, but after thinking for a long time, his heart was still empty. , the consciousness is very calm.

In the 700 years that Meng Songyun lived, he had already seen that lifespan is short, and when he finally parted, he accepted the departure of his two brothers frankly.

When Zhu Shizhen rushed towards the 'River God' regardless of his own safety, he didn't feel anything either.

Obviously 700 years ago, Zhu Shizhen took care of him the most. The two ate and lived together, and they were very close.

If this kind of sworn brotherhood is the best emotion in the world, then Meng Songyun can only sigh: the world's emotions are so fragile that they are no match for the poison of time.

He and Zhu Shizhen once had a brotherly relationship, but later they became estranged and turned against each other. Zhu Shizhen stole his heart and made him subject to the royal family. Later, he also stole Zhu Shizhen's body and created an evil figure like the "River God". Things, both sides can be considered a draw.

Looking back on the past, Meng Songyun found that he and Zhu Shizhen were also deeply entangled in cause and effect.

He wanted to become a god, and he didn't want to have his wish unfulfilled in the future, so at a critical moment, he reminded Zhu Shizhen, which can be regarded as an end to the brotherhood between the two.

……

Hearing his reminder, Zhu Shizhen was taken aback for a moment, then grinned and said:

"So you calculated that I have no future, so you stole my 'body'?"

"..."

Meng Songyun was caught off guard by his reaction, subconsciously denied:

"That was not what I meant--"

He just wanted to remind Zhu Shizhen to be careful, not give him an awkward explanation.

Zhu Shizhen's words brought him back to the memories of 700 years ago. At that time, he was a Taoist genius, young and ambitious, most arrogant and arrogant, and never obeyed others in his life.

Sometimes he acts extreme, and it is impossible to admit directly after he has done something wrong. Instead, he makes awkward conversations afterwards, explaining why he committed this wrong thing in a disguised form.

He stole Zhu Shizhen's body and ruined the relationship between the two brothers, but the reason why he reminded Zhu Shizhen to be careful at this time was to make him pay attention not to fulfill his hexagrams, not to mean that "Zhu Shizhen has no future, so he has no future." Will steal the fourth brother's body and desecrate his body'.

"...Forget it." Meng Songyun shook his head.

Things have come to this, Zhu Shizhen is doomed to have no future, why should he say so much?
Since he has misunderstood, he misunderstood.

Zhu Shizhen's smile became even warmer, and he said loudly:

"Xiao Wu, don't worry, brother knows that doing these things is not from your heart, brother will not blame you."

His words were the same as Gu Jing's tone and demeanor when he spoke to the "River God". For some reason, Meng Songyun became angry: who cares if you blame him or not?

Slaughtering Qingyun Temple by himself, killing people like hemp all these years, with a ruthless heart, why have he ever cared what other people think?

He was restless and subconsciously looked at Yao Shouning.

It's a pity that the girl at this time couldn't take care of comforting him. Half of her mind was drawn by the seriously injured Lu Zhi, and half of her mind was on Zhu Shizhen, and she didn't have time to notice that his situation was unstable at this time.

After Zhu Shizhen finished speaking, he smiled at Meng Songyun, then turned around without hesitation, and walked towards the 'River God'.

One is the soul 700 years ago, and the other is the 'corpse' that has become a demon 700 years later. The two should have the same origin, but at the moment when they are close to each other, when the body and soul should be united, Zhu Shizhen's soul body was destroyed. To the exclusion of the 'river god'.

Gu Jing's death made the "River God" freeze for a long time, buying Zhu Shizhen a moment of opportunity.

But the moment he approached, the 'River God' seemed to sense a crisis, and 'he' subconsciously resisted.

The black air rippled out, forming a circle of black fog shield, which bounced Zhu Shizhen's soul away.

"I have to get rid of 'him' evil spirit before I can get close!"

As soon as Zhu Shizhen was bounced away, his soul and body immediately swayed, and it took a long time before it was fixed again.

He shouted behind him, and Liu Bingzhou responded:
"it is good!"

While speaking, he wrote the inscription again, turned it into a sharp blade, and pierced the head of the 'River God'.

However, the 'River God' did not go smoothly several times. At this time, he was upset and gradually angry.

'He' was stopped again, and with a wave of his hand, countless black air turned into tentacles, flew up into the sky, and greeted the giant sword that was slashing down.

Countless black tentacles were cut, but this also stopped the sword light from falling.

The black energy at the bottom of the river was endless, and the sword energy transformed by the righteous energy was gradually melted, and finally dissipated into nothing.

Liu Bingzhou swiped his pen again to draw the arrow array, and countless arrows shot out like rain, breaking through the blockade of black air, but it was difficult to break through the defense of the 'River God' itself.

During this period, Zhu Shizhen didn't give up, and tried to attach to the body of the 'River God' several times, but he couldn't succeed in the end.

The two sides came and went, and the fight was extremely fierce.

The river rolled and roared, and the 'River God' advanced step by step in the fight and approached again.

With the arrival of the 'River God', Liu Bingzhou slowly felt the tremendous pressure.

The shield light was tightened, and the river water began to swallow the surrounding city of Shendu City.

The water potential rose, and the sediment and black air at the bottom surged, making the water chaotic.

After several failed attempts, Zhu Shizhen's soul body became much weaker. Obviously, every attempt was a huge harm to him.

Once he fails in his attempt, the 'River God' loses control, and the catastrophe loses control.

Liu Bingzhou was at a loss, although he kept making moves, he looked around.

From his perspective, he can have a panoramic view of the city of God.

He saw Lu Wuji and others guiding the victims to the inner city of the palace; but Zhu Hengrui, who was trying to open the gate of the inner city, did not go well. The door was closed by someone at some point.

The city gate was already filled with the first wave of people, and they were beating on the city gate, trying to enter.

……

And above the ruins of the Yao family, Shi Zi was seriously injured and fell to the ground, with Yao Shouning squatting beside him.

In the distant surroundings, the shield light was suppressed by the powerful flood and could not help but shrink inward. The river water swallowed up the fields and houses, and countless washed away furniture and clothes floated on the turbid water.

The power of the barrier is limited. After the 'River God' approached, the evil spirit impacted the barrier, and the water flooded the top of the shield light.

Yao Shouning watched the water rise with his own eyes. Not long after, a large drop of water fell on her cheek with the sound of 'tick'.

She instinctively stretched out her hand to cover her face, the water was cold to the bone, carrying a strong evil spirit.

The girl looked up, and saw above her head, evil spirit penetrated the barrier of light, and the river water poured into the barrier, turning into rain, and began to fall gradually.

At the beginning, the drop was just a signal, but when she raised her head, more water began to rush into the barrier with a 'tick-tick'.

"Grandfather!"

She wiped her face and yelled:
"Water is coming in."

God willing!

Liu Bingzhou's face was dejected, and he felt indescribably depressed.

He had tried his best, Zhang Fuchen even died for it, Gu Jing and Zhu Shizhen couldn't stop the 'River God', could it be that this catastrophe could be more difficult?
Heavy rain began to fall, and puddles began to accumulate rapidly in the Divine Capital City within the barrier.

The surviving people seemed to have sensed that something was wrong, and they all subconsciously hid in higher places without being chased away by Lu Wuji and others.

From Liu Bingzhou's perspective, he could see the people of Shendu City lined up like ants in long lines, leaning towards the inner city of the imperial palace, desperately fighting for that chance of survival.

The gate of the city was closed tightly, and under the south gate of the inner city, the eldest princess led a team of troops, beating the gate desperately.

"When will the inner city open!"

Liu Bingzhou was so anxious that he yelled loudly.

His voice was so loud that it was heard clearly in everyone's ears.

The eldest princess also heard his roar.

She also knew Liu Bingzhou's character, if it wasn't for the severe situation, he probably wouldn't be so angry.

Zhu Hengrui was also very angry in her heart, she failed to assassinate Emperor Shen Qi, and when she left the city, it was clear that the city gate was wide open, but she didn't know when the city gate was closed tightly.

As the rain intensified, people came one after another, but they were blocked in front of the door, crying for people to open the door.

"Open the door!"

The eldest princess shouted loudly and cursed angrily:
"Which son of a bitch has someone close the gate of the city."

A well-informed official in the team said:
"It's the Chu family—"

"Chu Shaolian brought the young emperor into the palace. He said that he was worried about the chaos outside the city and was afraid of hurting the young emperor's life. That's why he made people lock the inner city tightly and not allow it to be opened."

When the Fox King was alive, the main attack target was in the north of the city, mainly in the direction of the Yao family. The inner city of the imperial palace did not suffer much damage, and most of the buildings remained intact.

At that time Chu Shaolian saw that the situation was not good and fled, then he brought the emperor into the palace and locked the palace door tightly.

When Zhu Hengrui heard this, she was furious.

It's a pity that the rain is getting heavier and the water is flowing down. I'm afraid many shallow places have already started to store water, and there are still endless streams of escapees coming in the distance. life.

She was too lazy to waste words, and directly made people storm the city gate.

……

On the other side, the 'River God' is getting closer, Zhu Shizhen's soul is unstable, Liu Bingzhou is also gradually failing, seeing the critical situation——

Yao Shouning saw Zhu Shizhen's body getting closer to the 'River God', but was hit by black energy, and his soul was about to fall apart.

Her heart skipped a beat, and she yelled:

"Five brothers!!!"

Meng Songyun sighed for a long time, and then replied lazily:
"Don't worry."

"It's almost fatal—"

Moreover, Zhu Shizhen was his brother, how could he be so calm when he saw something happened to his brother.

Yao Shouning was speechless. Once Meng Songyun decided to make a move, he would not delay the opportunity any longer.

He is also aware of the threat of the 'River God', and understands that Zhu Shizhen's method is the safest, if his fascination is lost, the situation will be difficult for gods to solve.

"The spirit of the sky, the spirit of the earth, and the five elements use their strength to stabilize the soul."

As soon as the formula was uttered, the light of the talisman flashed on his fingertips, turning into a half-foot-high red talisman and flying into the water.

The evil spirit in the water senses the flash of the talisman light, and if you encounter a natural enemy, quickly avoid it.

When the red talisman entered the water, it immediately split into five sides, each of which belonged to a different temperament of the five elements, forming a small space in the middle, enclosing Zhu Shizhen's soul.

As soon as Zhu Shizhen's soul entered the talisman formation, the soul body that was on the verge of collapse quickly stabilized, and received sufficient spiritual nourishment from the talisman formation, it became much clearer at once.

"Brother Qingyun audience, help me!"

Meng Songyun bit his fingertips and drew amulets with blood.

The next trick was obviously not easy for him, he couldn't control it anymore, he showed his ghost body, his long hair was loose, and the blood on his body suddenly appeared.

When he shouted, there was a fierce look in his eyebrows and eyes, and as soon as he finished speaking, countless ghost daoist priests flashed behind him, obeying his orders.

Everyone raised their arms, a black chain drilled out between their arms and fingers, and "嗖嗖" dived into the water, locking the head, neck, arms, waist and legs of the "River God", binding the "River God" tightly Reality.

As soon as the 'River God' was restrained, it was immediately difficult to move forward. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Meng Songyun held a long sword and used his power to slash out:
"cut!"

He shouted loudly, and the blood on the sword body surged.

Yin Hong's light and shadow broke through the barrier, flashed into the water, and cut the body of the 'River God'.

Meng Songyun's sword intent was extremely domineering, and the sword qi broke through the evil spirit of the "River God" protecting him. After the shield light broke, the armor formed by the black energy on the surface of the "River God" began to shatter.

Numerous wounds emerged on 'him', and only the sound of 'swish' sword energy piercing could be heard in the water.

The sword light formed a large formation, and the 'River God' could not escape the blockade of the sword energy no matter whether he advanced or retreated.

'He' wanted to block with his sword, but the Ghost Dao Lord Suo behind Meng Songyun held 'him', making him unable to resist.

At the same time, there was Liu Bingzhou on the top of his head to suppress him, and together they worked together to temporarily block the advance of the 'River God'.

"Zhu Shizhen, get ready!"

Meng Songyun shouted loudly, and then the long sword held a sword flower in his hand, and he read out loudly:

"The world is boundless, Taiyi borrows the law, I attach my soul to the sword body, slay all ghosts, and avoid evil spirits!"

After he shouted, he bit the tip of his tongue, and with a 'poof' sound, a mouthful of blood spurted out.

The blood was extremely evil, and it was his life essence. Once it sprayed onto the sword body, the blood flowed more rapidly on the surface of the sword body.

As soon as the countless expressionless Gui Daozun behind him sensed the blood light, their eyes showed a fierce light, and they pulled the 'River God' even tighter.

The moment Meng Songyun spewed out blood, his body turned into a wisp of smoke, pouring into the sword body.

The long sword paused in mid-air for a moment, then turned into light and shadow with a 'swish', and slashed towards the 'river god' in the river!
The power of this sword is extraordinary, wherever the sword energy goes, water droplets and air will be twisted and dodged.

Yao Wanning leaned close to her sister, unable to tell whether she felt regret, fear, relief, or a faint sadness mixed in.

She could sense the power of Meng Songyun's sword.

This Taoist priest's cultivation base was not low back then, and he has not died in the past 700 years, and his combat power is even more extraordinary.

"River God" was not bad even when he was alive, but "he" died a long time ago, so it's hard to say who will win with Meng Songyun.

But one has lost consciousness, and the other intends to do his best, and the gap between the two parties' spiritual consciousness is very likely to determine life and death.

She hated 'River God' for hurting her family before, but seeing 'him' in trouble now, she felt heartbroken, but she couldn't cry.

The sword light was like a rainbow, while Yao Wanning's thoughts were spinning rapidly, the sharp blade broke through the defense of the 'River God' and severely injured the body of the 'River God'.

'He' was almost cut in half, the domineering sword energy shuttled under the water flow, forming a torrent, and the thing held tightly by the 'River God' was crushed.

Seeing this scene, Zhu Shizhen couldn't help being overjoyed, and when he was about to get close, a sudden change occurred!
The body of the 'River God' was divided into two, and countless ghost Taoist priests restrained 'him' and pulled the body of 'him' in all directions, trying to tear 'him' into pieces.

'He' did not resist fiercely before, but after the sword energy tore apart the thing held in 'his' hand, the eyes of 'River God' turned from silver light to pitch black, and 'he' became angry.

"Not good."

'Crack-crack! '

A flash of lightning flashed across the air, followed by the sound of 'Boom' thunder.

In the midst of the thunder and lightning flashes, the original "Zi Zi" sound of sword energy at the bottom of the river suddenly stagnated.

The sound of the surging river disappeared, and countless black filaments suddenly emerged from the split body of the 'River God'.

These filaments seemed to be disconnected, but they actually withstood the pulling force of the Ghost Daoist, and instead glued the split body of the 'River God' in the middle, and they were about to reunite into one.

Seeing this scene, Yao Shouning had a flash of inspiration:
"That's—the letter—"

In an instant, she suddenly understood something, and shouted at Liu Bingzhou:
"Grandfather, 'he' came back to find my sister, Brother Meng chopped up his letter! He might—"

Before she could finish her sentence, she saw the body of the 'River God' being pulled back together by the black air.

'His' body shook slightly, and in the crisp sound of 'dangdang', all the chains restricting 'his' actions were shattered.

Facing this change, Liu Bingzhou was taken aback, and when he was about to use spells to trap the 'River God' again, he suddenly heard Yao Shouning's shout.

"What..." He was taken aback.

"It's a letter. The letter in 'his' hand was written by my sister."

All the tiny details are connected into a coherent thread, Yao Shouning said:
"'He' came to see my sister—"

"He" was affected by evil spirits, and gradually forgot the dream relationship with Yao Wanning, and forgot that there was a child between them. After Yao Wanning lost her husband, she wrote to "him" twice.

The second time I sent a letter was last night.

At that time, Yao Wanning only thought of 'him' as treacherous, and no longer cared about herself and her children, hurt her parents, and returned disappointed after delivering the letter.

And the letter finally fell into the hands of the 'River God', and only then did 'him' return today.

It's just that between the couple, one is alive and the other has become a 'sha'.

'His' return cannot visit his wife and unborn child like ordinary people, and 'his' travel means that disaster will occur and people will not be able to survive.

……

Yao Shouning figured this out, and suddenly felt sorry for his sister.

She turned to look at Yao Wanning, Yao Wanning was obviously at a loss because of her words.

At this moment, the bodies of the 'River God' rejoined, repairing the body that had been severely injured by the sword energy, and shattering the restrictions imposed by the Daoist Ghost.

But the letter in his hand was destroyed, which made the former emperor furious and filled with evil spirits.

'He' stretched out his hand to grasp it, and held an epee in 'his' hand, terrifying coercion came from all directions, and Liu Bingzhou's shield was suppressed and shrunk inch by inch.

Liu Bingzhou was the first to bear the brunt of the 'River God''s wrath.

This force came from above, like a pair of invisible big hands, slapping his body and knocking him from the air to the ground.

The moment Liu Bingzhou landed on the ground, the black energy in the body of 'River God' shook, and the bloody long sword that hit 'his' body flew out.

The long sword was forced to fly about ten feet away, and the soul of Meng Songyun attached to the sword was forced out, turned into a skeleton, and fell into the ruins with a 'boom'.

"It's a loss, a loss—"

The skeleton shouted vaguely, and the long sword fell on the side of his head with a "clang".

The Ghost Daoist in mid-air lost his strength and gradually disappeared into black air.

The wrath of the 'River God' didn't stop there, 'he' approached again, the capital city shook, and the palace wall crackled.

The rain was heavier and more urgent, Yao Shouning was hit and fell to the ground.

Liu Bingzhou vomited blood and stood up, seeing that the shield light was about to break, he wanted to fight with his life again.

Seeing that the situation was critical, Yao Shouning instinctively stood in front of his sister, intending to protect the pregnant sister and the injured son behind him.

At this moment, Yao Wanning, who had always had a big belly, suddenly reached out and gave her a hand:
"Shouning go away!"

She pulled the younger sister with her arms outstretched, stood in front of her, and suddenly opened her arms, holding her younger sister behind her, glaring at the figure in front of her:
"Fourth Zhu!"

Suddenly she screamed:
"What the hell do you want to do?"

She has lived for 19 years, she has the most gentle and pleasant temperament, and she has always spoken softly, never so loudly.

At this time, she looked at the homeland she had destroyed, and at her grandfather who was seriously injured and vomiting blood.up
The blood on Liu Bingzhou's body was not yet dry. The blood that came out when he cut out his heart for the first time and offered sacrifice dyed most of his body red. If it weren't for Zhang Fuchen's heart, he might have died long ago.

Yao Wanning's eyes turned around one by one.

The ground had begun to accumulate water. Yao Shouning's face turned pale. The seriously injured prince fell to the ground and was almost cut in half by a sword.

All of this made her angry and sad.

Yao Shouning said that she was discovered by the "River God" when her Yin spirit came out of her body, so the moment the "River God" drew his sword almost killed her.

If it hadn't been for Meng Songyun's move at the critical moment to make the prince take the sword for Yao Shouning, I'm afraid his sister would have died on the spot.

"Do you know, this is my home, and the person you almost killed just now is my sister!!!"

"How dare you hit my sister—"

The more Yao Wanning spoke, the angrier she became, she suddenly tore off the hairpin on her body, and threw it in the direction of the "River God" in the river:

"How dare you hit my sister!"

"Zhu Shizhen, you almost killed my grandfather, do you know?"

In her 19 years of life, she was docile and pleasant, but at this moment, she seemed to have gone crazy, and rushed towards the "River God" with her big belly:
"You disappeared without a sound and left me alone. I couldn't find where you were when I was pregnant with the child. It was my parents who protected me and resisted gossip for me. My sister was always there for me. Run away, why did you hit her!"

"You villain!"

She cried and cursed:
"Zhu Laosi, you bastard!"

"..."

Zhu Shizhen was dumbfounded, seeing Yao Wanning rushing towards the 'River God' fiercely and abnormally.

This future 'he' is extremely evil and extremely ferocious.

Even someone like Meng Songyun is no match for 'him', and Liu Bingzhou, who combined the strength of Zhang Fuchen, can't stop 'him', so how dare Yao Wanning rush forward?

He was anxious in his heart, and hurriedly wanted to step forward to stop it.

But the moment Yao Wanning rushed out of the protection of the shield light, the torrent did not hurt her.

The evil spirit at the bottom of the river was like protecting jewels, forming a translucent black shield like an egg shell, trapping her inside.

She walked freely in the river, approaching the 'river god'.

Immediately, the wind stopped, the waves stopped, and the rain stopped, and the sword energy at the bottom of the river was also forcibly restricted by some kind of force, disappearing invisible.

Yao Wanning's petite body rushed in front of the 'River God'. She clenched her hands into fists and beat the 'River God''s body hard.

The tall figure no longer tried to move forward, and stood motionless, the black air in his eyes dissipated and turned into silver light.

'He' moved his arms, but he seemed afraid of touching Yao Wanning's body. Finally, 'he' turned his head and looked at Zhu Shizhen who was trapped in the five-party soul nourishing talisman.

I saw the 'River God' beckoning, and the talisman array shattered in response.

The moment the red light broke, before Zhu Shizhen could react, his body couldn't help moving forward.

He was not hindered again this time, and his soul body entered the body of the 'River God'. The breath of the 'River God' comforted by his wife's breath was exceptionally calm, and he accepted the split soul of the deity 700 years ago.

The moment the soul meets the body, the two become one.

As soon as Zhu Shizhen's soul entered the body of the 'River God', countless memories emerged in his mind.

After 'he' arranged all the funeral affairs, he closed his eyes with a smile and slept in the underground of Shendu City. Meng Songyun stole the body of 'him' under the alias of Meng Qingfeng...

Even though he already knew these things long ago, he knew that he knew it. When the memory returned at this time, it was as if he had experienced it personally, and the feeling was very different.

He saw 'himself' sleeping on the ground, and the arrival of Liu's family made a marriage contract between him and Yao Wanning.

He and Yao Wanning got married in a dream, and the couple are loving.

The wife is shy and timid, and the two had a warm time together...

All kinds of memories flashed through his mind, and he moved his arm, which was extremely heavy, and the pressure created by the water flow prevented his movements.

But another consciousness seemed to urge him to resist these pressures, and he stretched out his hand to pull Yao Wanning into his arms.

"Ah—" A contented sigh sounded in his heart.

"Wanning."

'He' called softly:
"my wife."

Yao Wanning was stunned, and then burst into tears.

She recognized the voice. It was her husband, the River God. It was both familiar and unfamiliar.

"I'm sorry, I lost my memory, I didn't know you were pregnant, I made you suffer so much—"

'His' hand slid down slowly, gently stroking his wife's towering belly, and kicked 'his' palm.

Yao Wanning seemed to realize something, hugged his shoulder desperately, pressed her forehead against his chest, and wept uncontrollably.

……

Zhu Shizhen's consciousness was in a trance for a moment, and then he quickly gained the upper hand. He patted Yao Wanning's back, flicked his wrist lightly, and sent her out of the river bottom.

"Wait for me." He said warmly.

After combining the memory of 'River God', his feelings towards Yao Wanning are no longer just responsible and protective, but more love and care from the heart.

He moved his neck and arms to adapt to this new body.

He still has a lot of things to do next.
