Being a woman of high status, I give everything just to live

"Xun'er, once you come into contact with this lake water, you must keep your mind focused."

After entering the formation, Jiang Zhi looked at the lake ladder in front of him and gave the boy a serious instruction.

The lake water looked very clear, and fish could be seen swimming in it. A staircase extended upward, across the lake water, and was submerged by the lake water.

The bottom of the lake was dark blue, and it looked very deep, but if people walked on the stairs, the lake water would only reach their ankles.

This formation was not a killing formation, but a trap formation. If you want to get to the center of the formation, you have to overcome various difficulties in the formation step by step.

And Jiang Zhi remembered very clearly that this lake ladder in this formation was the heart barrier.

If a person with a calm and inactive mood walked over, nothing would happen, but if a person with obsessions or various emotions walked over, he would be trapped.

"Yeah." Although Si Xun didn't know what was so special about this lake ladder, it was actually used as the first step to break through the formation. No matter how you think about it, you know that it is not as ordinary as it looks on the surface.

The two of them stepped forward and officially entered the lake ladder. When they stepped on the stone steps, the water waves rippled slightly around.

Stepping on the first step of the lake ladder, Si Xun was very alert, but after a long time of alert, nothing happened, so he continued to take the second step.

Then, the third step, the fourth step....

Except for feeling that there seemed to be some gravity pressing on his body, Si Xun didn't feel anything wrong at all.

"Physical strength test?" Just when he thought so, he took two more steps and was suddenly attracted by the sound of water next to him.

He looked over subconsciously, and it was the splash caused by a fish wagging its tail in the water.

But looking at the splash, Si Xun felt a little dazed, his eyes were gradually sore, and a tear silently rolled down from the corner of his eye to his cheek.

"Grandma... Grandma..." The boy's soft lips trembled slightly, and his silent voice seemed to be choked with sobs.

In his field of vision, there was an old man at this time.

The old woman was wearing an old cotton-padded jacket with embroidery, holding a bottle of water and waving at him. She had a sack on her back, which was filled with bottles.

She waved her hand, took out a dollar from the small cloth bag on her body, and walked over with a smile to hand it to the boy.

"It's fake, it's fake, I'm dazzled..." the boy murmured. Even though he told himself over and over in his heart that it was fake, all of this was fake, and it was the deception of the formation, he couldn't stop crying.

But what could he do even if he knew it was fake?

Looking at the old man in front of him, the boy couldn't take the next step of the lake ladder after all.

He was afraid that if he took the next step, the old man in front of him would disappear from his sight, forever...

"Xunzi, have you listened to the teacher today?"

"Grandma saw that many of your classmates were buying food. Come on, take the money and go buy some food too."

Looking at the wrinkled hand in front of him handing over a dollar and the kind face, Si Xun's defense line was really broken.

"Grandma, I..." He wanted to run over and hug the old man, but the reality was that he fell into the lake with one step.

"Xun'er." Jiang Zhi reacted immediately and quickly hugged his little fox in his arms.

"Xun'er..." Looking at the boy who closed his beautiful eyes in his arms, but tears kept coming out of his eyes, Jiang Zhi had to hug him tightly around the waist and continued to walk towards the steps of the lake in front of him.

At this time, in the sea of ​​consciousness, the boy had already got what he wanted and hugged his grandmother.

Then the scene changed, and he came to a dilapidated building.

The house is very old. The originally white walls are now blackened by black smoke and the wall paint is peeling off.

"Xunzi, come here. This is what grandma prayed for in the temple. I heard that it can keep you safe. You have been weak and sick since childhood. You will be safe after wearing it."

The old man pushed the door open from the outside and put down the half bag of bottles in his hand as if he had obtained some treasure. He took a talisman and was about to put it on Si Xun.

Looking at the old man in front of him, Si Xun looked at himself now, with small hands, as if he was only four or five years old.

"I... seem to have forgotten something..." Little Si Xun sat there blankly and let his grandma put the talisman on his neck.

"Xunzi, why are you crying?" The old man saw tears in his grandson's eyes, and reached out to gently wipe away the tears in his eyes.

"Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"

"Tell grandma."

"I'm fine, grandma." Little Si Xun raised his little hands and rubbed his eyes, smiling and saying in a baby voice.

"Are you hungry? Grandma bought some meat today. Let's stew it for our son. He will grow up healthy after eating it." The old man smiled and immediately filled a basin with water to wash his hands.

"Grandma." Little Si Xun followed. He climbed onto the stool, stretched out his little hand to turn on the faucet, as if he was looking forward to the stew tonight. He picked up a tomato and put it in the basin, squatting to wash it.

"Xunzi, it will be fine after a while. Don't play with water." The old man smiled at his grandson and immediately picked up the kitchen knife to cut the meat.

"Yes." Little Si Xun replied obediently.

"Grandma, isn't it stewing meat?"

"Why do you have to cook noodles?" After putting the tomatoes on the chopping board, little Si Xun watched his grandma pick up the noodles, his little eyes full of confusion.

"Xunzi, don't you remember? Today is your birthday. Grandma is going to cook a bowl of longevity noodles for you. You will be safe and sound after eating it."

"Oh, is it my birthday today?" Little Sixun didn't understand, but grandma seemed to have told him the same thing last year.

It's called a birthday, but today is just the date when the old man picked up a child, so she took it as her birthday.

Looking at the busy grandma, little Sixun felt bored. After sitting on the chair for a while, he ran to the side and sold the bottles that grandma had just picked up, crushed them, and then put them in a bag.

He didn't know why people still wanted these bottles even though they were crushed, and they couldn't hold water.

But he knew that grandma did this to make money, so he did the same.

After half an hour, little Sixun felt tired, and sweat oozed from his forehead before he stopped.

"Xunzi, come here, wipe your face, and then eat."

"Oh, here I am." Seeing his grandma put the food and noodles on the table, little Si Xun trotted to the basin to wash his hands, wiped his face briefly, and sat down on a chair in front of the table, his legs still swinging back and forth.

"Eat." The old man smiled kindly, wiped his hands, and put a bowl of noodles in front of his grandson.

There was a lot of meat in the noodles, but they were cut into small pieces, so you don't have to eat too much oil.

Little Si Xun picked up the chopsticks that he was not very skilled at using and started eating.

"Eat more, eat more to grow up." The old man looked at his grandson, took out a bottle of milk from his pocket with a smile after eating two mouthfuls of rice.

"Xunzi, look at what this is?"

Seeing the milk, little Si Xun wanted to put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hands, and happily wanted to reach out to take it.

But the old man put it on a high drawer next to him.

"Drink after you finish eating."

Hearing this, little Si Xun was a little unhappy, but he still ate the meat noodles in the bowl, but he ate very quickly, and his legs didn't shake.

The old man looked at his grandson who was acting like a spoiled child but was still sensible and didn't make a fuss, and smiled with relief on his wrinkled face.

But she was shocked to see her grandson suddenly stop eating, raise his head and look at her, with a pair of red eyes, as if he was about to cry.

"Xunzi, are you feeling uncomfortable again?"

The old man hurriedly touched her grandson's body left and right. It was not her fault. Her grandson was weak and sickly. Sometimes he would fall to the ground while walking and then faint.

"Grandma."

But her grandson suddenly hugged her at this moment, without saying anything, just called "Grandma" and kept hugging her.

"What's wrong, Xunzi?" Seeing that her grandson didn't seem to be unwell, the old man finally felt relieved and asked in a loving tone.

The old man may not have noticed, or simply could not see, that the surroundings were actually becoming illusory, and even the walls seemed to be rising and falling like water waves.

But there was a silver-white with a light red force that was forcibly stabilizing the surrounding space, so that everything around him would not disappear immediately.

"Uh." Little Sixun shook his little head, and after letting go of her with a pair of little hands, he rubbed his eyes, as if to hide his tears.

"I'm fine, grandma."

"Grandma, eat too." Putting down his hands and taking away the chopsticks, Little Sixun picked up the meat from his grandma's bowl, and he also picked up a piece of green vegetables.

"Xunzi..."

"Grandma, eat with me, I can't finish so much meat by myself." As if he knew what his grandma was going to say, Little Sixun answered in advance.

"Okay." Looking at his grandson's cheerful eyes, the old man also picked up a piece of meat and started eating.

"Xunzi, why are you crying again?"

"Why are you so crybaby today?"

After eating for a while, he found that his grandson had been staring at him, with tears in his eyes.

"Xunzi." When she reached out her hand to his forehead to see if he had a fever or something.

But just this action made Xiao Si Xun completely unable to hold back his sobs.

"Grandma, Xunzi is leaving." Xiao Si Xun hugged his grandmother and said with sobs. Just when he said this, the surrounding space became completely illusory.

Even the old man seemed to be unable to move, and his figure gradually became illusory with the surroundings.

But at this time, Xiao Si Xun's body was stained with a faint red light, and even his small eyes were blood red, as if there was a blood moon pupil with blood-colored light sprinkled in it.

This blood light has been wrapping his grandmother, making her figure disappear more slowly.

"Wake up, Xuner." In the outside world, seeing that the little fox in his arms had been wet with tears, Jiang Zhi gathered a little spiritual energy with his fingertips and fell on his forehead, wanting to help him wake up quickly.

"Girl, your little fox demon doesn't want to wake up voluntarily. Wait a while, just wait after leaving the lake ladder." The voice of the formation spirit came into Jiang Zhi's ears.

"Thoughts are born from the heart, and all the difficulties in the heart are also caused by the thoughts in the heart."
