Late autumn morning, Canglong Snow Mountain, Shuo Snow City.
A frost last night turned the lush snow maple on the mountainside of Yunxia Peak into fiery red, almost as bright as clouds and clouds, but the top of the mountain was still covered with vast white snow, which made Yunxia Peak look like a A goddess of mercy with white hair and red clothes, looking down at all kinds of joys and sorrows in the world.
"Swipe... brush..." On a bluestone path on the mountainside, a 14-year-old outer disciple was yawning while lazily sweeping the fallen leaves on the steps, looking weak.
Suddenly, he seemed to feel something, and suddenly raised his head: "Who?!"
Not far away, a young man in black was walking slowly up the mountain along this bluestone path.
This black-clothed youth looked to be in his mid-twenties, tall, with phoenix eyes, thin lips, and pitch-black eyes. He was really a very handsome young man, but at this moment, his appearance was extremely haggard. The whites of the eyes were covered with dense blood, and a thin lip was so dry that it was cracked several times, as if it hadn't been touched by water for several days and nights, let alone moistened with spiritual power.
But these superficial things are nothing compared to the strong sense of despair in his eyes.
"You..." Sansao disciple opened his mouth, just about to say something, but took a step back involuntarily. Even though the other party seems to have tried his best to suppress that kind of extremely terrifying coercion, ordinary cultivators still can't bear it at all. .
The young man in black looked up at him, and then slowly opened his mouth. Although his voice was hoarse, he was actually very polite: "May I ask if City Lord Xie is on the mountain?"
As soon as he raised his head, the Sansao disciple saw the dragon scale pattern on his left face at a glance, and he was stunned for a moment. That small piece of pattern is not an ordinary tattoo, but an extremely small ink-colored scale, forming a flame-like pattern, floating with a faint faint blood color, which looks both strange and terrifying.
The Sansao disciple felt his throat was dry, and he took several steps back before suddenly regaining his senses, threw the broom abruptly, and ran up the mountain: "The demons are coming! There are demons! There are demons! !"
The young man in black smiled wryly, but did not stop him, and continued to walk up slowly.
Arriving at the gazebo on the mountainside, the young man in black seemed to feel something, and slowly raised his head to look, then was slightly taken aback, and said shyly, "Master Sang."
Sang Lingxi leaned against the gazebo pillars, holding Yanbolu in both hands, and looked at him coldly with a pair of sparkling peach blossom eyes: "Lu Xiao, what are you doing in Shuo Xuecheng? Where is my little brother? He Why didn't you come with me?"
Lu Xiao lowered his head, and his thin lips trembled very lightly. After a while, he opened his mouth with great difficulty: "Master, he...he is gone."
"Missing?" Sang Lingxi was stunned. After a while, he suddenly realized that he was almost unable to restrain himself, and grabbed Lu Xiao's collar fiercely, "Missing? You should make it clear. What is missing?!"
Lu Xiao's eyes were dark, and he didn't even resist. He just whispered: "Four months ago, he disappeared. I tried everything I could, but I couldn't find anything. I guess, maybe his soul... Hui Shuoxue The city is here, come and look for it.”
Lu Xiao's voice was very vague, and Sang Lingxi didn't understand it. He only knew that this person was coming to Qiu Yutong, and he almost laughed out of anger: "You have taken him away for more than half a year. Last time I went to find him Even if you don’t let him go, how can he come back to Shuo Xuecheng? Tell me, what did you do to him?! Tell me!”
Lu Xiao said in a hoarse voice: "I... When I was transforming demons before, the dragon flames burned my body and burned my body, and I was about to die. He saved me, but when I opened my eyes, he disappeared..."
"What did you say? Longyan?" Sang Lingxi was stunned.
After a long, long time, the Cuiping Peak Master, who has always been romantic and loves to laugh, opened his mouth extremely stiffly: "You said that you were burned by the dragon flame, and he saved you, and then disappeared?"
Lu Xiao nodded reluctantly: "As soon as I opened my eyes, he disappeared. I couldn't find him anywhere. In the past few months, I also tried to summon... but there was nothing, nothing. So I guess , he may have returned here."
Long Yan burned... disappeared... His little junior was transformed by Chuxue...
Sang Lingxi stared blankly at Lu Xiao, only to feel that his mind was completely blank, his legs were so weak that he was almost unable to stand, he staggered back involuntarily, and then supported the pillar before panting Qi said: "He saved you, and then disappeared... Have you already tried to summon a soul?"
Lu Xiao was silent for a long time, as if he didn't want to admit the matter of "calling the soul" at all.
"Tell me, is it right?!" Sang Lingxi growled.
Lu Xiao nodded slightly, and said in a hoarse voice, "Yes."
He paused, then slowly said: "In the past four months, I have tried a total of sixty-nine times, using my heart and blood to draw amulets, plus his clothes, to carry out... summoning souls. But nothing, nothing nor."
At this moment, Sang Lingxi had fully understood. While staring at Lu Xiao, he gasped heavily. After a while, his eye circles suddenly turned red.
"Lu Xiao, what on earth did you do to him? You, you don't understand anything... You don't know anything..."
Lu Xiao tremblingly said: "What should I know? What should I know? I just want to find him... I just want to find him."
Sang Lingxi closed her eyes and said in a hoarse voice, "Follow me."
The two walked back and forth like this, dragging their heavy steps, and walked slowly up the mountain. There was no conversation along the way, and the disciples they met also dodged one after another. Sang Lingxi was always easy-going and generous, and very loving. Laughing, even a little frivolous, these disciples had never seen him like this before, they couldn't help but looked at each other, not daring to say anything.
Sang Lingxi took Lu Xiao to the door of a study room behind the main hall on the top of the mountain, and then knocked lightly on the door: "Senior brother, it's me."
Xie Wanting's calm and gentle voice came out: "Lingxi, who did you bring back?"
Sang Lingxi gritted her teeth and said, "It's Lu Xiao. He just went up the mountain, and he said... the junior brother is gone."
Xie Wanting was silent for a moment: "You let him in."
"Go in, brother will tell you everything." Sang Lingxi said coldly, and then left without looking back.
Lu Xiao pushed open the door stiffly, and walked into the study. Xie Wanting was wearing a light robe and was slowly drawing a picture of winter plums in the snow in front of the desk under the window.
The lord of Shuoxue City seemed to have heard the voice behind him, and slowly put down the brush in his hand, then turned the wheelchair around, facing Lu Xiao: "Sit."
Lu Xiao stared at him and did not sit down.
Xie Wanting didn't force it either, and just said calmly: "Just now Lingxi said, Yutong disappeared? What's going on?"
Lu Xiao said hoarsely: "When I was transforming demons, the dragon flame in my body was so hot that I almost died. He saved me, and then disappeared."
Xie Wanting was stunned: "Dragon Flame?"
"I am the reincarnation of a demon dragon. When I transform into a demon, I will burn my body with dragon flames, and burn everything inside." Lu Xiao said simply.
"Dragon flames burned the body, and the five internal organs burned... Yutong saved you, and then disappeared..." Xie Wanting murmured, the blood on his face gradually disappeared.
This gentle and indifferent Shuoxue City Lord, who is deep in the city, can even make Mount Tai collapse in front of him without changing his face, but at this moment, his face is as white as the rice paper on the desk.
Looking at his appearance, Lu Xiao felt that his heart, which was so anxious that it was almost on fire, was gradually sinking into the cold abyss. He didn't even have the courage to ask Xie Wanting one more word.
After an unknown amount of time, Xie Wanting said hoarsely, "How did he save you?"
Lu Xiao pursed his lips tightly and said nothing.
"Lu Xiao, tell me the truth," Xie Wanting stared at him, "Did you... force him to double cultivate with you?"
The muscles on Lu Xiao's face trembled violently, and after a while, he nodded slightly.
"Lu Xiao, you!!"
Xie Wanting suddenly squeezed the armrest of the wheelchair, his pale and refined face flushed red, he seemed to be extremely angry, but his self-cultivation was so good that he didn't do anything to Lu Xiao, but flicked his sleeves suddenly, The table was full of extremely precious pens, inks, papers and inkstones, and they rolled all over the floor in a mess.
"Didn't he tell you that his current body is made of snow? It's all right if you go crazy and turn into a demon. How could you, how could you force him..." Xie Wanting gritted his teeth tightly, his voice trembling.
Lu Xiao only felt that his mind was blank: "What did you say? What snow is it made of? I thought he refined my magic pill... That's why..."
Xie Wanting closed his eyes, took a deep breath, tried his best to control his emotions, and then slowly said: "There is no magic pill. Back then, when I found him in the secret realm, he was completely unconscious. Wake up, there is no magic pill on him, maybe it has been taken away by others."
"At that time, his body was seriously injured..." Xie Wanting recounted what had happened before very slowly, "His injury was too serious and he couldn't recover at all. The soul was kept warm in the ink lotus, and Han Yuan was asked to go up to Wenjian Cliff every morning to gather the first piece of snow, and finally made this body for him with great painstaking efforts. The attribute of dragon flame is extremely hot, He can't even touch, how can he be with you, with you... "
Lu Xiao's lips trembled slightly, his chest was indescribably cramped, and he couldn't say a word.
Xie Wanting looked at him coldly, and his voice was almost cruel: "Yes, since you have found this place, you should have discovered that he is not gone, but... gone. You want to come here because you want to Find his soul, right?"
"Thank you, city lord," Lu Xiao's voice was hoarse to the extreme. At this moment, this cruel, mean and arrogant demon emperor almost put down all his dignity, begging him bitterly, "Thank you, city lord, please tell me, he , His soul...has it ever come back?"
"What do you think?" Xie Wanting laughed miserably, "Without a body to rely on, you can only lose your soul...Since you are already the devil emperor, you can't even recall his soul, and you still ask me for it? You know it clearly Very soon, Qiu Yutong is gone, there is no more heaven and earth, Bi Xiao Huang Quan!"
"You're talking nonsense!!" Lu Xiao suddenly growled, and at the same time, some kind of extremely terrifying coercion, like a roaring raging wave, overwhelmingly pressed down on Xie Wanting! That kind of power can almost make any monk unable to breathe!
But in the next moment, Lu Xiao's voice suddenly weakened, trembling and hoarse beyond human voice: "You...you are talking nonsense, shut up...shut up..."
If it was someone else, under such coercion, they would have knelt down long ago, but Xie Wanting actually gritted his teeth and endured it, and sneered: "Shut up? You did a good thing, why should I shut up? I expected that you will take revenge and hold grudges very much, but I thought that you have some kind of mentorship towards him and you wouldn't make it too difficult for him, so I let you take him away..."
He murmured: "I should have seen it a long time ago. The way you looked at him... It's all my fault, it's all my fault... You beast, you treat him, you treat him..."
He really couldn't go on talking, the gentle and refined City Lord Xie suddenly picked up a black jade inkstone and slammed it hard at Lu Xiao: "Get out! Get out!!"
…
The conversation between the two broke up badly. When Lu Xiao walked out of the study in a daze, Sang Lingxi was leaning on the pillar in the porch, looking at him coldly.
Lu Xiao glanced at him blankly, then turned his gaze away: "It's okay, I will find him, I will definitely find him... even if he doesn't want to see me, even... I will find him."
His voice was low and hoarse, extremely weak, and he didn't know whether to speak to Sang Lingxi or to himself.
Sang Lingxi couldn't help sneering, and opened his mouth slightly, as if he wanted to scold him, but seeing him like that, he couldn't swear, but his throat was a little choked: "My little brother is all-hearted, He is also very stupid, he has never had any extra thoughts, even though he took your pill, Dao and Demon are not at odds with each other, and he has been kind to you anyway... He doesn't remember the matter of Cuiwei Hantan How could you, how could you treat him like that..."
Lu Xiao was stunned, then raised his head suddenly: "What did you say? Don't remember anything?"
Sang Lingxi was slightly taken aback: "He didn't tell you? He was injured too badly, and I don't remember anything about Cuiwei Hantan."
I don't remember... Lu Xiao confusedly remembered what Qiu Yutong said before he disappeared, but he didn't understand the meaning of these words until this moment. He felt dizzy and almost couldn't stand upright: "He doesn't remember? He doesn't remember?"
He also asked Qiu Yutong about that incident back then, why did he do this, Qiu Yutong seemed a little at a loss, but never shirked responsibility, just let him take revenge and humiliation, but he actually didn't remember it...
That's right, his master, since he is willing to use Chuxue's transformed body to endure such pain silently, and help him through the burning of all five internal organs during the transformation of demons, how could it be, how could it be...
What if... What if that incident was not like that at all
Lu Xiao only felt an indescribable pain in his mind, as if there was a rusty blunt knife cutting his most tender nerve. , where in the secret realm did you find him?"
