Li Fulin understood why Xiaodong and the others were allowed to stay on top.
He could guess what Mrs. Yan was thinking. Although he had no biological children, he raised three apprentices with his own hands, and he regarded each of them as his own children. What Madam Yan was afraid of was that someone would rush in when the formation was broken.
Tianjian City has existed for so many years, and this altar and formation have swallowed up countless lives. It is so easy to break, Madam Yan has already broken it.
I'm afraid it's going to kill someone.
According to Mrs. Yan, she would die if she died, but I was afraid that even if she filled her life, it would not be enough. If there is another Li Fulin, it will be more secure. As for whether Li Fulin can survive, it depends on his ability and luck. If he can't survive, there is still a Mo Chen and a Mr. Wan who can take care of Xiaodong, and Madam Yan can leave without worry.
She did everything she could. Everything is done, everyone can only live in peace.
Li Fulin had no objection to this arrangement.
He is the master, so of course he has to take care of this kind of thing.
It's just that it's not safe for Mo Chen and the others to stay where they are, and there are still people chasing after them.
"This is for you." Li Fulin took out a copper ring that was completely different from the Central Plains utensils from his arms and handed it to him: "It can protect the body."
Mo Chen took it.
At this time, there was no need to say anything else between master and apprentice, Li Fulin turned around and followed Madam Yan and jumped down the abyss.
He would not be reluctant to give the copper ring to his apprentice Li Fulin, but... thinking of Ji Zheng, he always felt a little guilty.
This was specially used by Ji Zheng for his body protection. Li Fulin was worried about his apprentice and handed it over to Mo Chen. After all, he still wanted to protect Xiaodong.
It's just... If Ji Zheng knew about this, he would definitely not give him a good face.
These thoughts quickly slipped through his mind, and Li Fulin remembered the situation when he first came to Tianjian City.
At that time, he felt that the city suspended in the air was both mysterious and beautiful.
It's just that at that time, he never imagined that one day he would destroy the city with his own hands.
"Madam Yan, if this altar is destroyed, what about the people in this city?"
"I don't know." Madam Yan stopped and turned to look at him: "Master Li, those people are going to kill us now, are you still worried about their lives?"
Li Fulin was not offended by her sarcasm, he only said: "There are still many ordinary people in the city."
"I don't know." Mrs. Yan repeated: "I only know that after this altar is destroyed, Tianjian City will no longer exist. As for the others, maybe they can escape."
Maybe they will die.
There are no eggs under the nest.
Mrs. Yan felt that this real person Li was really a pedantic person.
Whether they will be successful or not is unknown, maybe all of them will die here today, and Elder Wu and those who killed Xiaodong to complete this sacrifice may let Tianjian City continue to live for a few more years.
But it's only a few years.
Madam Yan knew very well that the collapse of Tianjian City was inevitable, and it would not last long. The previous city lords, they can still live a few more years, but the further they go, the shorter the time period for sacrifices, and the more frequent the sacrifices. Not only the direct line of the city lord, but even some children of the collateral line were sacrificed.
This matter is the big secret of Tianjian City, and outsiders will never know it.
But... Mrs. Yan suddenly remembered an event a long time ago, an event she thought was insignificant.
Tianjiancheng has no contact with outsiders, and of course intermarriage is even more impossible. But back then, her kind and soft-hearted husband once mentioned one thing. He once let go of a clan sister, who was also surnamed Xie, but the bloodline multiplied, several generations, and after several generations, the clan relationship was already far away.
He let her go after the other party was caught by Elder Wu and the others.
In his later words, Tian Jiancheng has reached the current state, it is useless to have one more life of her, and there is no hindrance if one less her is lost. Anyway...
Anyway, he must be the last person to sacrifice to the city, and the others are dispensable.
That girl left Tianjian City, what happened next
Has she ever thought about the fate of the brother of the city lord who let her go
Mrs. Yan didn't expect the other party to be grateful to her husband for the rest of her life, but she was a little bit resentful towards the girl who hadn't heard from her since she left.
This real person Li—if he had met this person back then, he might have become a confidant. The two have very similar temperaments, and they both have a bad heart.
Back then, if he had listened to her and the two of them had escaped together, with his skill, they could have escaped.
But... If you are friendly to others, why have others left half a leeway for him? Now even Xiaodong...
The real Li in front of him is also very mean-spirited. The people in Tianjian City have already set up many traps to kill them. Now the top priority is to protect himself. He is actually worried about those people in Tianjian City!
With such a master, Xiaodong didn't know what he had learned. Most of the time, he didn't know anything about the dangers of the world. He just felt that the world was full of glory and beauty.
Of course Li Fulin was not what she thought.
People who practice the Tao can understand the true meaning of the words "Heaven is merciless" better than ordinary people.
Under the Dao of Heaven, everyone is as tiny as an ant. The existence of Tianjian City was originally going against the sky, and it did not hesitate to use humans as sacrifices. Such behavior is no different from being possessed by a demon. This is a place that shouldn't exist, even if they don't take action, it will definitely perish.
"It's just ahead."
Li Fulin's spirit lifted.
As Mrs. Yan's voice fell, the mysterious altar of Tianjian City gradually appeared in front of Li Fulin's eyes.
Mo Chen put Xiaodong down from his back, and lost his true energy for him again.
If Xiaodong could make a sound, he would cry and beg the elder brother to stop giving him power.
No matter how hard the elder brother tried, even if he passed on all his skills, it would not be of any use to Xiaodong.
Eldest brother may not understand this point, but he still refuses to give up knowing this. Xiaodong and Xiaodong are very grateful for this effort, but it is the best policy for elder brother to preserve his skills for self-protection! It would be a waste to use it on him.
"Xiaodong? Xiaodong?"
He could hear his elder brother calling him, and he really wanted to say yes, but he just couldn't.
He also heard Mr. Wan's voice, which seemed to be not far away: "How is it?"
Mo Chen replied softly: "It seems that it hasn't gotten worse." But it hasn't gotten better either.
This Mr. Wan, this person... Xiaodong always felt that there was a strange feeling in him before, which was both strange and familiar.
Listening to his voice now, although it is quite different from the one in memory, Xiaodong can still hear something familiar to him.
What is the relationship between this Mr. Wan... and uncle
Is it a close colleague? Or, is it a relative by blood
He was anxious to wake up, and wanted to ask the doubts in his heart clearly one at a time.
But the more anxious you are, the more your body seems to be out of order.
Mo Chen wiped off Xiaodong's cold sweat.
Mr. Wan watched him take care of Xiaodong in every possible way. His body, which had been tense just now, slowly relaxed, and he supported his body with his sword.
Mo Chen raised his head and glanced at him: "Where did those people go?"
"It's not behind, the road is ruined, and they can't come here." Mr. Wan stuffed two pills in his mouth, and said after a sigh of relief: "They should have guessed our purpose, and One way is from Qianshan Hall to the altar, and they should come from that way."
Qian Shan Tang.
Mo Chen and the others once stayed in Qianshantang.
"The springs in the city have dried up and the wells have changed. Is it all related to the altar?"
Mr. Wan suffered two injuries just now, and every breath in his chest hurts like a knife cutting back and forth: "What kind of spirit veins will eventually dry up after being bitten so hard, and no matter how much you sacrifice, you can only stabilize the foundation of the city. It may be possible to create something out of nothing and then change into aura."
"Tianjian City also has spiritual veins?"
Mr. Wan sneered, but the severe pain in his chest made him cough uncontrollably, and it took him a long time to stop: "How strange, there is no spiritual vein. Where did the spiritual energy in this city come from for so many years? It fell from the sky. ? Or is there some rare treasure from the beginning of the world for them to pick up?"
Mo Chen understands the truth, but...
"You can't see it doesn't mean you don't have it." Mr. Wan looked at a certain point in the dim void: "This spiritual vein has reached the point where the oil is exhausted... The people of Tianjian City got such a unique spiritual vein at the beginning. They must have been carried away with joy, and they were even more afraid that others would find out about it and be snatched away by others, so they made this city out to guard against others and even shut themselves up. The fish trapped in the pond are constantly wrestling in the shallow water..."
"uncle… "
Mr. Wan disappeared instantly as if he had been struck by lightning.
Mo Chen was even more anxious to hold Xiaodong's head up slightly: "Xiaodong?"
Xiaodong's eyes were still closed, and an indistinct voice came from his mouth.
"uncle… "
Mr. Wan stood up straight in a state of embarrassment: "I'll go... go ahead and have a look. Don't worry, there's nothing going on here for the time being, and no one will come over."
Mo Chen ignored Mr. Wan who was running away in a hurry, all his attention was focused on Xiaodong.
Xiaodong's eyelids moved and opened slightly.
Only he himself knew how much effort it took him to do such an action.
What came into view was the face of the elder brother.
—It seems that not too long has passed, why did the elder brother become so, so haggard
But even such a haggard elder brother is still so handsome and heartbreaking.
"Take your time, don't worry, are you thirsty? What's wrong with you?"
There is no place for comfort.
But now is not the time to say these words, Xiaodong struggled to grab a corner of Mo Chen's sleeve: "My uncle..."
Mo Chen was a little puzzled, but he still held his hand and said along with him, "You mean Senior Yun Lie? What's wrong with him?"
"He, he was here just now!"
Rao was shocked by the sudden changes in the past few days, Mo Chen was also shocked by this sentence.
But he immediately came back to his senses: "Mr. Wan?"
"The sound of his coughing is unmistakable, it must be him." (To be continued)
