Above the sea, the frozen sea was surging and the ice was shattered. Between the sky and the sea, the collision of two forces set off huge waves.
In the deep sea, it was as silent as ever.
Ji Yunhe looked at the shimmering Hailingzhi on the seabed, and muttered to herself, "This past event is really in the past. It's meaningless to mention it again, but let's not mention it, but there will always be a thorn in my heart." She touched the sea. Lingzhi, "When Changyi comes back, I'll tell him about the past."
After making up his mind, Ji Yunhe rubbed his stomach: "This big-tailed fish came back slowly today. Do you still want to have a feast?" She suddenly thought of the mark on her ear. Ji Yunhe curled her lips, and she closed her eyes, thinking about the long meaning, and suddenly felt a little coolness on the marks on her ears, and the coolness drifted upwards from the deep seabed like the wind.
Ji Yunhe only felt that her line of sight jumped out of the deep sea. She thought she would see the green leaves of the woods, but she didn't want the picture in her mind to be full of clouds and mists, occasionally mixed with clanging sounds. Suddenly, blood was in the clouds and mists. splashed out.
Ji Yunhe suddenly opened his eyes.
Something went wrong!
She immediately stood up from the seabed and tried to condense the exercises in her hands, but as soon as she mobilized the breath in her body, she felt a scorching aura overflowing from her chest. The thunder and fire energy in her body has been sucked up by the seabed, but a little bit of it still prevents her from mobilizing her inner breath.
Time was running out, and Ji Yunhe didn't dare to delay any longer. She squatted down and pulled out two pieces of Hai Lingzhi, threw them into her mouth and chewed them.
Hailingzhi suppressed the thunder and fire for a while, and Ji Yunhe immediately made a tactic in his hand and rushed out of the long-meaning technique.
The further up you go, the faster the darkness fades away.
Before reaching the surface of the sea, Ji Yunhe could already feel the churning waves of the sea being stirred.
She was even more anxious. Under the urging of magic, nine tails suddenly appeared in the sea, the sea was getting closer, and the light outside stinged her eyes that had never seen the sun.
She closed her eyes, broke through the waves, and jumped onto the shore of a cliff several dozen feet high.
There was no one on the shore, only not far away, there was a pile of berries on the ground, still pressing a leaf, and in the strong wind and heavy rain, the berries were almost smashed by the raindrops.
Ji Yunhe tried to find out the direction of Changyi again, but only felt that the connection was weak and far away, as if Changyi had left thousands of miles away during the time she came out.
"Protect the law! Protect the law!"
The shouts came from the sea below, Ji Yunhe looked down from the cliff, Qu Xiaoxing was lying on a piece of sea ice floating in the big waves. Ji Yunhe immediately flew down and brought Qu Xiaoxing up: "What's going on?" she asked, "What about Changyi? How could this frozen sea become like this?"
Everywhere you can see from afar is crushed ice. The dark clouds were still rolling in the sky, and the torrential rain was falling. Qu Xiaoxing wiped his face and panted heavily: "Shun... Princess Shunde is here..."
Ji Yunhe was stunned, his brows furrowed, seeing this scene, he was very puzzled: "She? The great national teacher is here too?"
"The great national teacher didn't come, but the Shunde princess didn't know why. She had a pair of huge blue wings. At first, I thought it was the blue feather luan bird. She became extremely powerful. Discoloration, the merman seems to be still injured. He... I will let Luo Jinsang go back to the north to send rescue troops, and I want to go to the sea to find you, but I can't get down... " Qu Xiaoxing was upset, and his words were a little confused, "He... the merman was attacked from behind by Shunde in order to save me..."
Ji Yunhe's face turned pale, and the blood-splattered picture he had just seen through the imprint suddenly appeared. Ji Yunhe felt as if he had been stabbed by a knife, and his heart throbbed violently.
Qu Xiaoxing regretted: "He... he was taken away..."
"He was taken away? There is no long-term meaning..." Ji Yunhe paused, trying to calm himself down, "He didn't die, he was just taken away, didn't he?"
"right."
After receiving this affirmative answer, Ji Yunhe breathed a sigh of relief, Shunde must have her intention to take away the long meaning. Knowing that Changyi was still alive, the panic in Ji Yunhe's heart was instantly cleared up in half, and she thought about—
From the beginning, Shunde just wanted the merman to obey her. Then, Ji Yunhe participated in it and let the merman make Shunde's wish not fulfilled. Later, in the dungeon, Ji Yunhe ruined half of her face. He wanted to save her, so he burned the dungeon. Shunde hates Changyi, but I'm afraid to hate her even more.
Now that Shunde took Changyi away without directly beheading it, it must have been her intention. Perhaps... She wanted to use Changyi to lead her over. Or, if you want to use Changyi's current status to make some plans that are beneficial to the court, in short, you will never kill Changyi so easily.
Changyi should have no life worries for the time being.
She was in a tumultuous mood and kept thinking in her mind, but Qu Xiaoxing fell into deep self-blame: "After fighting against the merman, Shunde was exhausted in the end, if it wasn't for me..." Qu Xiaoxing gritted his teeth fiercely, "I ... I will set off for the capital now, even if I fight for this life, I will also save the merman back."
"Qu Xiaoxing." Ji Yunhe grabbed him: "Don't say these angry words, I didn't want you to die again."
"But..." Qu Xiaoxing looked up at Ji Yunhe, as if he realized that she was different from the previous A Ji, he blinked, "Protection? You... you remember?"
"Yes. I already remembered it." Ji Yunhe looked at the distant sky and tried his best to maintain her calm, "So, it's me who should go to the capital, not you."
"Protection..."
Ji Yunhe interrupted him directly: "You have your mission, you go back to the northern border and inform Kongming about it, but remember that people in the northern border must not act rashly. Shunde did not know where to get such power, it must not be too small. Look, the situation in the capital is not clear now, and there is still a great national teacher, so we must wait and watch. Be prepared at any time."
Qu Xiaoxing was shocked when he heard it: "What... what preparations?"
"Changyi and I are not ready to come back."
…
Shunde threw the seriously injured and unconscious Chang Yi into the black iron cage. Zhu Ling locked the cage, turned around like a shadow, and followed Princess Shunde out of the dungeon.
On the way, Shunde suddenly felt a sharp pain in her heart, and she could barely stand still. Zhu Ling, who was next to her, immediately supported her, but saw Shunde gritted her teeth desperately.
Zhu Ling was worried: "Princess, you just endured the severe pain yesterday and caused Ji Chengyu and Qing Ji to be refined in your body. Why are you so urgent today to capture this merman? Your body..."
"Didn't you say that they healed their wounds in the frozen sea? If we don't take advantage of this time, do we tell them to return to the North after their injuries, and I will go again?" Shunde sneered, "In this life and this life, before they die, this shark will not die. People and that Ji Yunhe are the ones I must get rid of."
As soon as she finished speaking, there was a sudden gust of wind around her, and she saw the great national teacher suddenly appearing in front of Shunde in white.
Never thought that he would come at this time, Shunde was stunned for a moment, the Great National Teacher stared at Shunde, and there was never a solemn expression in his expression: "You killed Ji Chengyu?"
Shunde held on strong and straightened his back: "Yes."
"Absorbed the power of Qingluan?"
"Yes."
"Have you taken the pill that turns people into demons?"
"That's right, Master."
The Grand Master narrowed his eyes slightly: "Ru Ling, as I said, you want too much."
The corner of Shunde's mouth twisted slightly: "Master wants, isn't there much?"
"You want more than you should."
"Master." Shunde smiled, "Do you think Ru Ling threatens you?"
The Great Master's eyes turned cold, but he didn't say a word. With a wave of his hand, a long wind was like an arrow, and Zhu Ling, who was beside Shunde, went straight through his heart. The black iron armor on his body did not protect him at all, and blood spurted immediately splash out. But Zhu Ling and Shunde have not reacted at this time.
Zhu Ling lowered his head and glanced at his heart, which had been penetrated by Changfeng, and then turned to look at Shunde: "Princess..."
Before he could finish his words, he fell to the ground like a pool of rotten meat, his eyes burst out, and he died before he could close his eyes.
Shunde was also very shocked by this move, but seeing that Zhu Ling had fallen to the ground and blood flowed far away, she could not recover.
"Ru Ling." Grand Master called her name, but she felt chills all over her body, "He died for your desires." Grand Master raised his hand and gently stroked her cheek, "And you are still alive, but you are It's because my persistence is still there."
Feeling his touch, Shunde trembled involuntarily. Zhu Ling's blood flowed to her feet without shoes, and she couldn't tell whether it was warm or cold for a while.
"However, you did a good job of capturing the merman." The great national teacher said, and withdrew his hand. "Without him in the north, the world will be in chaos for many more decades." After saying that, he left with an expressionless face, as if the Tathagata didn't look at anyone else at all.
Shunde turned his head and looked at Zhu Ling on the ground, the tremors and tremors in his body became bigger and bigger...
Zhu Ling is also dead, the most loyal person around her is also dead, she... is only alone...
…
It was night, in the small courtyard on the outskirts of Beijing, the lights in Lin Haoqing's room flickered slightly.
Lin Haoqing put down the pen and turned his head, but when he saw a man in plain clothes standing in the corner of the room, he raised his head. Under the light, it was Ji Yunhe's third man's face.
Lin Haoqing looked at him for a moment: "I told you not to go to the northern border and the capital, but you seem to be trying to go against me on purpose, and they're all here."
"Lin Haoqing." Ji Yunhe walked to his table and sat down. She changed back to her original appearance. She poured herself a cup of tea, "Have you had enough of the game of master and apprentice?"
When Lin Haoqing heard the words, he raised his eyebrows slightly: "You all remember?"
"Yes." Ji Yunhe didn't hesitate, and cut to the chase, "You should know my purpose."
Lin Haoqing hooked his lips: "Shunde caught the merman back to Beijing, and I didn't know until a moment ago."
"I want to save him."
"What do you do to help?"
"So I want you to help me."
Lin Haoqing turned his head and looked at Ji Yunhe calmly: "Why should I help you?"
"Aren't you helping me all the time? Or... helping Beijing." Ji Yunhe took a sip of tea, "You and Beijing want the same thing, to overthrow this imperial court."
Lin Haoqing was silent for a moment: "But if I say, I'm not going to help you in this matter?"
Ji Yunhe stared at him, his eyes shining like swords: "Give me a reason."
…
In the same night, in the dungeon in the palace, Chang Yi woke up leisurely, his eyelashes were covered with hoarfrost, his lips turned black, and the back of his hand had been counterattacked by his own technique and turned into ice.
Originally, his injury would not have been this serious, but it was true that the two days he had spent on the seabed of Hai Lingzhi for too long had caused even more cold energy to accumulate in his body. Ji Yunhe has the poison of thunder and fire in her body, and needs Hailingzhi to absorb the heat poison in her body, but Changyi does not need it. His company is actually a consumption of herself.
In normal times, this consumption is nothing, but he used excessive techniques before, and it was very reluctant to fight Shunde under such circumstances.
Chang Yi sat up, but in front of the black iron cage railing, he saw Shunde who was staring at him coldly.
She is dressed in red, looks at Chang Yi, doesn't speak, like a female ghost in legend.
"You took the power of Qingyu Luan Bird." Chang Yi said quietly, not asking, but narrating.
"Yes." Shunde stood outside the cage, "Keep your cage. The day before yesterday, the bird was still locked, but the bird is now in Ben Gong's body."
She said, but it seemed like a pain in her heart, she hunched down, gritted her teeth and endured the pain like tearing in her body, she knelt on the ground, the blue breath all over her body suddenly skyrocketed and disappeared, back and forth several times, it took a long time It took time for her to calm down.
"Heh... In the past few days, she seems to be a little bit ill-behaved, but it doesn't matter, she and Ji Chengyu have both become my sacrifices, and I will have more sacrifices in the future. At that time, you, even Master, will No longer my opponent... In this world, no one can threaten me anymore! Ha!"
Her almost crazy smile made Chang Yi frown.
"Oh." Shunde's brows turned and he stared at Changyi, "However, you may not live until that time. When Ji Yunhe comes to find you, this palace will sacrifice you together. She is a nine-tailed demon fox, and you are a shark. People, with your power, no one can threaten me anymore. Hahahaha!"
Changyi's eyes were cold and staring at the crazy Shunde.
"You can't move her."
Shunde's eyes turned: "Oh? Really?"
"Your game, she won't come."
Shunde laughed, the scar on her face, which was not healed, turned into a shadow on her face in the firelight of the dungeon, like a snake, entrenched on her face, which made this face even more terrifying.
"She won't come? Ah... The tone of these words sounds a bit familiar..." Shunde stared at Chang Yi, "When Yun He was tortured by me in the dungeon of the National Teacher's Mansion, it seemed that he also You told me so swearingly that this palace can't catch you..."
Chang Yi heard the words, and his heart was slightly startled, back then...
Yun He said that when he was old
"...But look." Shunde continued, "After so many years, after going around in circles, didn't Ben Gong still arrest you? Besides, Ben Gong is still certain that Ji Yunhe, knowing that this is the Longtan Tiger Den, will definitely to save you."
Shunde's face was slightly close to Xuan Tie's cage, staring at Chang Yi:
"Back then, she was willing to risk her life to push you off the cliff and let you go. Then she fought with her own life to help you block the pursuers..."
Shunde's words, in Changyi's ears, seemed to speak a word slower than a word, and every word uttered between the lips and teeth made his eyes become more surprised. But when she finished speaking, when this sentence fell into Changyi's mind, it instantly fell on his heart, every word, every stroke, burning him, like a big hand , clenched his heart.
"… What did you say?"
"Oh?" Shunde laughed, "That Ji Yunhe has never told you about these things?"
Shunde looked at Changyi's expression, realized it, and then laughed, as if her stomach hurt, "Could it be that when you imprisoned her in the North, she never revealed a word to you?"
"Why did she kill you, why was she captured, and why was she tortured so much by me, for the past six years?"
Chang Yi's complexion became paler and paler, and a person who was always calm, at this time, his lips trembled slightly because of these few words. In the spine, a chill went straight to the internal organs, like sharp needles, pierced through his heart, liver, spleen and lungs, blood dripping.
His breathing quickened involuntarily. The five fingers wanted to clench tightly, but because of the pain at the top of the heart, they were unable to clench them.
"Okay, okay... This Ji Yunhe is reluctant to let you know the truth!"
At that time, Ji Yunhe was weak and weak. When he was brought back to the North, he was already dead. Now when he thinks about it, Changyi immediately thinks why Ji Yunhe didn't say anything.
Dying, with no intention of speaking.
And now...
She went through life and death, as if under the deliberate arrangement of God, she returned to him again. Changyi thought it was his loss and found it back, so he said that the past is meaningless, and there is no need to talk about it again.
He thought it was Ji Yunhe who he had forgiven, he thought it was him who finally learned to let go, and he thought it was him who finally learned to pass himself and pass people...
But it turned out that was not the case.
Changyi also finally understood what was on Ji Yunhe's lips when he didn't need to mention the past. He also finally understood why she shed tears when Ji Yunhe closed her eyes. .
Because, these words, she did not say to him. She carried it alone, forbearance...
for him.
"Ji Yunhe will definitely come." Shunde glanced at Chang Yi, whose face was even paler than before, and said coolly, "You can serve as my sacrifice and die together." She turned and left.
Chang Yi closed his eyes, the imprint made him feel where Ji Yunhe was. She was already in the capital, but not far away. She didn't find her immediately. She must be planning something, but here, no matter what she planned Zhou Quan, how could he retreat completely when he was catching the turtle in the Shunde urn
Chang Yi opened his eyes and looked at Shunde's back with a cold gaze.
He couldn't let Yun He come to take this risk.
Changyi knew that the person who could stop Ji Yunhe from coming could be his escape or his death.
Chang Yi supported the wall and stood up staggeringly: "Stop." He called softly.
Shunde stopped in the corridor of the dungeon.
Chang Yi raised his hand, and between the sleeves of the black robe, his pale, frosted wrist was exposed, and Chang Yi took a bite on his own wrist. The blood flowed out and dripped on the ground, but the blood didn't stop there. They were beating on the ground. As the blood between Changyi's wrists flowed more and more, the blood gradually condensed into a blood-colored ice sword on the ground, which was held by Changyi. in hand.
"You want my life, yes. If you want to touch Ji Yunhe, no."
Shunde heard the words and laughed mockingly: "Mervin, why are you still talking nonsense about this palace now?"
Chang Yi didn't pay any attention to her anymore. With the movement of the blood-colored sword in his hand, the dark and damp aura also moved under the dungeon. The entire dungeon trembled, and even worse, it seemed to be the underground of the entire capital, and it moved with it.
