Chapter 12 012. No way to advance or retreat
It's a cool night and the moon is as cold as water.

Looking up, the moon is bigger than usual.Not only is it big, but it also emits a faint red color.

"Today is the blood moon. So long has passed in the blink of an eye."

"Blood Moon?"

"Well, when the blood moon rises, evildoers appear." The old scholar said it easily.But Yu Shenghan couldn't laugh.I only felt that my body was hot and cold, and I was very uncomfortable.

"The blood moon or even the yin to cold phase indicates that the righteousness in the world is weak and the evil is strong; the hostility is strong and the resentment is deep. I don't know how many people have to endure unjust injustice and encounter natural and man-made disasters."

Although Yu Shenghan doesn't know much about things on land, the moon has a far greater influence on people underwater than on land. She, like everyone else, has understood this since she was a child.Hearing what the scholar said, I couldn't help but feel worried. I didn't know what was waiting for everyone under this moonlight.

"You don't have to worry about anything here. Natural disasters and man-made disasters on land can't affect you; things underwater can't hurt you at all. This is a fairyland in the world. Why don't you just stay here with peace of mind."

"No, I can't just stay here. I still have a lot of things to do." Yu Shenghan waved his hands and refused.

When the scholar saw this, he looked stern and said in a cold tone: "Can't you be here? I kindly saved you and kept you here. It's just that you don't want to thank me, and you refuse. It seems that I shouldn't meddle in your own business and let you and Just fall into Lu Yaodao like that fool."

After saying that, he turned his back to Yu Shenghan. Seeing the scholar like this, Yu Shenghan was at a loss for a moment. He could only try his best to express that it was not that this place was not beautiful, nor that he did not know how to repay his kindness, but that he really had something uneasy in his heart and could not Accept the kindness.

"That's not what I mean. What I mean is that I can't stay here, not because you are not good or this place is not good. This place is very beautiful. I admit that it is even better than Wan City. Even the most beautiful garden is It’s less than [-]% as good as here. Not to mention that I’ve never seen such natural beauty. I’m afraid no one in the world who hasn’t seen it with their own eyes can construct such a wonderful world just by imagining it.”

The old scholar nodded, finally hearing a few good words.

Yu Shenghan quickly added, "But I can't stay. At least not now."

"Can not do it now?"

"Yes, look at the moon. It's full tonight. I have to sneak up there to get some breath. Otherwise, what I said before about being covered in ulcers is not to scare you. Besides, you have to get some breath. Even my dad can't. exception."

"Your dad? It sounds like your dad is a big shot?"

Yu Shenghan quickly explained, "Ah, no, I'm just giving an example."

"I've already told you that this place is neither underwater nor land."

"Yes, but I don't understand where this is, but it doesn't matter. You just need to tell me how to get back to Wan City. I have something very important to go back to."

"Can't go back."

"what?"

Yu Shenghan's eyes widened in surprise, and the old scholar hurriedly explained, "If you can't go back, you can't go back, because there is no way to Wancheng from here."

"This is not a prison, so why is there no way out?"

"Why isn't this a prison? Isn't this a prison? It's more beautiful than the fairy palace, but it's cloudy and sunny. You must have felt the coldness of the night at this moment. When the moon sets and the sun rises, you will know that this place is more beautiful than Wensha City. The Yanshan Mountains are even hotter."

"How could this happen? Why is there such a place?"

"Good question, I have asked myself this question for many years, and I only found the answer when I met you."

Yu Shenghan felt a sense of admiration for the man in front of him. A person had to endure both the heat and the cold throughout the day. Day after day, he could still live. This in itself was worthy of admiration, not to mention that his speech and behavior were very special. Elegant, just a little too serious.

Maybe I am used to serious people. Although Wancheng is a good place, everyone sticks to the rules and rarely even jokes or talks loudly. Except for Master Yuanchan, most people are similar to Master Jing, but this person... The way he spoke looked a bit like Master Yuan Chan.

"What's the answer?" Yu Shenghan asked.

"This place is used to torture people." "Ah." As if she hadn't said anything, Yu Shenghan felt that the good feeling she had just developed was almost turned into ashes. She thought that this old scholar could say something important, but in the end But it's a boring complaint.

"So, you're torturing me now too?"

"No."

"Why not? You couldn't speak clearly. You didn't tell me how I got here or how to get out. As for who you are and why you are here, you didn't tell me anything."

"You want to know?"

Yu Shenghan originally felt that she was righteous and was about to say, "Yes, of course you have to tell me." But suddenly her heart tightened and she felt a coldness seeping out of her chest, which was even colder than the fog at night.

She couldn't help but squat down, trembling with her arms wrapped around her.

"Are you cold?"

"Yes, I didn't feel it just now. It's so cold now." In just a moment, Yu Sheng's cold lips had become stiff and turned a deep purple.

"Come here." The old scholar said in a low voice.

"I can't walk."

"It's really troublesome," he added.

"I really can't leave"

The cold air spread from her chest to her fingertips. She felt that she was surrounded by mountains at this moment. She was in the center of the mountains. The mountains were covered with frost and would never melt for thousands of years. However, her eyes could no longer be opened. As long as she looked at them more One glance and her eyes were about to be stabbed by the dazzling white.

"Then I'll go over, don't move, don't close your eyes."

The old scholar's voice reached my ears. It sounded like hot tea in my hand, as warm as spring.

"Okay, I won't close my eyes."

After saying that, her eyes had been closed. After closing her eyes, the surroundings became dazzlingly white, like thousands of sharp swords flying towards her.

"Open your glasses." The old scholar ordered.

Yu Shenghan did not respond.

He stretched out his hand and hesitated, after so many years, he should have lost his attachment, otherwise how could this ghost place keep him alive until now.But facing Yu Shenghan's body that was about to freeze, he still hesitated.

You hid in this place to avoid her, and now you can't even save people?
He really couldn't do it. He had never made an oath, but he kept himself as pure as jade. Not only did he not touch women, he didn't even want to look at women. Later, he didn't even want to look at men.

Obsession - he shouted in his mind.

"Father, I'm cold."

He was beside her, and his breath could already warm her cheeks.

"Daddy, I want to go home, daddy, don't scold me."

She is just a child, Yuan Wu, he is just a child, a child.Wouldn't you rather die than save a child?
He held Yu Shenghan tightly in his arms, releasing all his heat without hesitation. The night was only half over, and the real cold had just begun.
