In an instant, Gong Wei had a lot of thoughts in his mind, but he didn't say a word on the surface, and let the two of them cover themselves with red gauze and help them out of the courtyard.
An extremely ornate eight-lift sedan is parked outside the door, and the details cannot be seen through the hijab, but the luxury can be seen from the red gauze sedan curtains with embroidered gold and the nanmu sedan frame embossed with cloud cranes. A woman brought a step made of vermillion rattan, raised the door curtain with blood jade Ruyi, and said with a smile: "Bride, come up!"
Gong Wei stood there and didn't move: "Where's Xu Shuangce?"
The voice from the woman's neck remained unchanged: "Who is Xu Shuangce?"
Gong Wei was quiet for a while, and then asked, "Where's General Bai?"
The woman said: "The groom and the guests have already set up a banquet in the ancestral hall, just waiting for the bride!"
There was a circle of faceless people at the entrance of the courtyard, men and women, old and young, all clapping their hands beamingly, all blank faces staring at the bride, waiting patiently for him Get on the car.
Gong Wei finally took a breath from the countless invisible sights, stepped on the tread, and got into the sedan chair steadily. The curtain of the three-layer pearl and jade hanging behind him slammed down, only to hear the women murmured in unison: "Get up-"
"Going out-"
"The bride is getting married today—"
Firecrackers exploded, gongs, drums and suonas went straight to the sky, and all the faceless people sang and danced towards the ancestral hall at the end of the road.
In Xu Shuangce's consciousness, he didn't know why so many people came to get married. Along the way, he saw a crowd of people pouring in from the houses on both sides and the fork in the road. Until a stick of incense came to the front of the ancestral hall, it was already crowded with people. This posture was no worse than the queen's wedding announcement to the world.
"The sedan—"
The faceless woman opened the three-layer bead curtain again, bowed and helped Gong Wei out of the sedan chair, and stood in front of the gate of the ancestral hall, full of joy: "The bride is here!"
Through the red gauze hood, you can vaguely see a wide stone road in front of you, passing through three major gates and nine steps, and leading directly to the tall and simple ancestral hall at the end. Banquets were set up on both sides of the stone road. At this moment, the guests were bustling. Judging from their shaking their heads, they should all be very excited, but unfortunately everyone's faces were blank.
At the highest point of the nine steps, Xu Shuangce stood with his hands behind his back, his robe sleeves inlaid with gold on a white background fluttered in the wind, and he wore a reluctant sword on his waist.
Even among thousands of people, Sect Master Cangyang is the most powerful and conspicuous one.
He slowly turned back and crossed the crowd to look at his bride, his thin lips provoked a slight arc.
Gong Wei's pupils tightened slightly, and suddenly turned his head to look into the distance. I saw that the sky was cloudy at an unknown time, like a layer of lead-ash mountains behind the clouds surrounding the whole land, gradually obscuring the sunlight, and pressing on the top of the village.
But people are ignorant, just as they were twenty years ago.
The two faceless women supported Gong Wei's arms from left to right, like four pincers made of fine steel, but their voices were full of earnestness: "Bride, please."
Gong Wei stood still.
The firecrackers, gongs and drums were still ringing, and the guests were applauding and laughing. The faceless woman waited for a while, then repeated with a smile, "Bride, please."
Gong Wei suddenly said, "I'm not going in."
"Why don't you go in?"
"I will die."
The woman's flat face covered with human skin did not change, not even the mechanical tone of the smile in her neck: "How can you die? Why did you die? You won't die."
Gong Wei asked back, "Have you ever heard that there are beasts in this mountain?"
The woman did not respond.
"There is a strange beast in Taoyuan Mountain, it looks like a tiger, it has hedgehogs and thorns all over its body, and it likes to eat human flesh. It is called Qiongqi. It was disturbed by the sound of drums in the world, so it descended from the sky wrapped in a cloud, and took the bride back to the cave, attracting the groom to save his life. ."
"Although the bridegroom is a general, he is a mortal and cannot compete with a beast like Qiongqi. With one paw on the bride, the other paw smashes the ground, shaking the whole mountain and forest, and the cave It also swayed and collapsed, and the huge boulder fell down, and it was about to bury the bridegroom and the bride inside."
Gong Wei said slowly: "However, the groom is pulling the bride firmly and refuses to escape by himself."
"Xu... Sect Master Xu," Yu Chixiao sat in the first row of guest seats, looking at Xu Shuangce on the high platform not far away, he couldn't help trembling: "Wake up, it's all just twenty years. Can't you really remember the projection of the previous disaster? Mrs. Xu, she will soon... Soon..."
Clouds and mountains in the sky are accumulating, the sky is getting cloudy and the wind is getting stronger. Xu Shuangce didn't seem to hear at all, and only stared at the figure in the golden red dress outside the gate of the ancestral hall.
A chill rose from Yuchixiao's heart: "What should I do now?"
Xu Shuangce's most frightening memory was the moment when the bride died. When that moment comes, the mirror technique will magnify his fear, resentment and madness thousands of times, the collapsed illusion will swallow the realm master, and at the same time bury the souls of all outsiders inside, no one can escape.
Surrounded by countless faceless people, Meng Yunfei suddenly retracted his eyes and whispered, "There's one thing I don't understand."
"what?"
"Why did Immortal Fahua kill the bride?"
The cause of Mrs. Xu's death has always been different. Some people say that she died of illness, some people say that she was poisoned, and there are various conspiracy theories. Most of the time, the mastermind behind the scenes is the Fahua Xianzun - otherwise, there is no way to explain why Xu Zongzhu and the palace courtyard I've had a bad relationship for so many years.
However, Dean Gong had a cheerful personality, was enthusiastic, and had a good reputation among the people. Judging from his behavior, it doesn't seem to make sense to kill another innocent woman just because he has a conflict with Sect Master Xu.
The rules of Xianmen are hidden by the venerable, and the younger generation cannot comment on the actions of the elders, let alone question them. So after several decades, the newly grown generation does not dare to spy on the grievances and grievances between several great masters, let alone Yuchixiao who grew up strictly according to the rules of the family: "This..."
Meng Yunfei motioned him to look at the bride in the distance, and whispered, "Look, Mrs. Xu has a face."
Yuchixiao paused for a moment, and when he looked closely, he saw that the red gauze veil was light and thin, and "Mrs. Xu"'s face actually showed a faint undulating outline, especially the prominent nose bridge, and even seemed to be welcoming the two beside her. The lady in the sedan chair spoke.
Her face is no longer a smooth skin!
But how could she suddenly have a face
Yuchixiao's eyes suddenly saw the hands exposed under her wedding dress. Against the backdrop of the gorgeous red silk, those two hands were so white that they seemed to be transparent, and the ten fingers were long and graceful, as if faintly shining.
Yuchixiao's heart suddenly collided, and an almost impossible guess was raised. At this time, he only heard the emcee repeat for the third time in the distance: "The bride is getting off the sedan—"
Xu Shuangce showed no displeasure on his face, and said slowly, "Why are you still delaying?"
Gong Wei stopped his voice, stood silent for a while, finally exhaled, and with the help of two faceless brides on the left and right like steel pincers, he stepped over the high threshold, stepped on the stone steps, and faced all the people. The guests' gazes climbed up the steps and finally stopped in front of Xu Shuangce.
Then his hands became cold at the same time, and it turned out that Xu Shuangce reached out and held it.
Xu Shuangce's ten fingers were terrifyingly cold, and he seemed to want to say something, but for some reason he opened his mouth and closed it again, only smiling at the red hijab embroidered with golden cloud crane patterns in front of him.
Gong Wei knew that stretching his head and shrinking his head was a knife, and finally took a deep breath and said, "Wake up Xu Bai, Madam Xu is dead."
"… "
After a long silence, Xu Shuangce said hoarsely, "You are not dead."
Xu Shuangce's expression didn't seem to be different, but if anyone dared to look closely, they would find that he was staring deeply and tightly at the bride in front of him, not even turning his pupils.
Gong Wei knew that he didn't even blink an eye, even if he was neglected for half a second, the head on his neck might fly out, so he didn't dare to be distracted at all, so he asked gently: "Remember what happened the last time you pulled Mrs. Xu like this?"
Xu Shuangce frowned.
Gong Wei said: "The poor one smashed the ground, and the boulders fell like a torrential rain. You wouldn't let her go and escape alone, so you couldn't break the emotional barrier."
The rumbling sound like a rainstorm came through time and space. Twenty years ago, in the monster cave in the fantasy world, "General Bai" was holding the bride's hand tightly, and the "bride" was completely pressed by the mad Qianqi. Under the claws, he couldn't pull it out at all.
The ground was shaking, the sky was dark and the sky was dark. Gong Wei was unable to break free from the opposite hand in the violently shaking darkness, and he could not let General Bai leave himself to escape by himself. At this time, a huge earthquake like a thunderclap exploded overhead, and the huge rock was torn apart, smashing down with a force of 10,000 tons!
"A Tao," General Bai said hoarsely, "Let's die here today together."
Gong Wei's mind exploded.
In the next moment, the surrounding illusion suddenly came to a standstill, and countless rubble, large and small, hovered in the air, and the blood-soaked gigantic poor man opened his mouth to howl, and his movements froze; in that complete silence, Gong Wei's spirit escaped from the body of the "bride". , General Bai heard the voice of the young spirit coming from above his head, and seemed to be in unspeakable confusion: "Why do you want to die?"
"… "
General Bai's soul has been severely damaged, and he is groggy, as if trapped in a long and absurd nightmare.
Gong Wei stretched out his hand from behind and pressed it on General Bai's hand that was holding on to the bride, with a hint of naive encouragement in his tone: "As long as you escape, you can break the emotional barrier. Haven't you always wanted to fly? "
Time and space seemed to be stagnant, and it took a long time for General Bai's dazed voice: "I don't want to break the emotional barrier."
"why?"
"I like her."
Gong Wei blinked and didn't understand: "What do you like about her?"
"...I don't know." General Bai murmured, "I liked her from the first sight, and I...don't know why."
But like this kind of feeling, in the end what is it
Is it really possible for a person to fall in love with an object he can't see or hear
Gong Wei was even more confused, pondered for a moment, and said with more certainty, "So you really fell into a situation."
"Really." General Bai replied tiredly, "It doesn't matter, let's die together in this underground, I already feel... It doesn't matter."
Gong Wei shook his head disapprovingly, ripped apart his scarred hand that held the bride tightly, and said, "Although you are going to die one day, it's useless to die in an illusion."
General Bai didn't realize what that meant, and suddenly everything that was still around began to move - Qiongqi's roar accompanied by flames rushed out of his throat, and the hill-like boulder headed down. Gong Wei grabbed his hand, the strength was resolute and irresistible, and he stabbed forward neatly!
As the fingertips fell into flesh and blood, blood splashed up, reflecting in General Bai's instantly tightened pupils.
"...No," he suddenly roared: "No!!"
Gong Wei clenched his hand tightly, took out the heart of the "bride", and then flew back a moment before being crushed into flesh by the Wanjun boulder, and dragged General Bai out of the cave. The blood on the hands of the two raised up!
"What are you doing!" General Bai struggled and roared frantically: "Who are you! What the hell are you doing!!"
Half of the mountain collapsed, the ground cracked as it trembled, and countless flaming stones filled the ground like hail, burying the corpses of the beast Qiongqi and the bride forever. Gong Wei grabbed General Bai's arm from behind, leaned into his ear and said earnestly: "The word love may not be a hindrance, but what you like is just an illusion created by illusion. Your killing barrier has been broken, wake up. Come on, Xu Bai."
General Bai turned his head stiffly and slowly. If a storm condensed in his eyes, that part of Xu Shuangce's soul was screaming and recovering from his slumber.
"Who are you?" he asked hoarsely.
The sky in the distance collapsed in pieces, and flames spewed out from the depths of the ground. Xu Shuangce's soul set off a wave of terrifying spiritual power, and even shook the world of the thousand-degree mirror to the point of crumbling, and the fantasy world was about to collapse.
Gong Wei said, "Calm down Xu Bai, you don't like her at all, you just..."
Boom!
The sky finally shattered, the ground was engulfed in smoke, and the hurricane tore the flames into a burst of torrents. General Bai pinched Gong Wei's neck with a palm, and the whole world finally collapsed in his rage:
"What the hell are you!"
·
"Do you remember?" There was a red knot in the wedding hall, Gong Wei looked up at Xu Shuangce under the red veil, and said earnestly, "Mrs. Xu is dead, she never existed, wake up, Xu Bai."
The sky was completely dark, and the faceless guests were ignorant, still shaking their heads happily, and the sound of gongs and drums turned into a strange and vague background.
Suddenly, a cloudy wind mixed with the breath of monsters blowing from the sky, the mountains and forests in the distance collapsed, the sea of trees tossed, and the flock of birds that covered the sky and the sun flew away—
"Roar!"
A ferocious beast with a head like a giant tiger, hooked claws and saw teeth, and a height of three feet rushed into the sky from the mountain stream, and set off a hurricane with wings on its back.
"Really?" Xu Shuangce said indifferently, "If Madam Xu never existed, who are you?"
Gong Wei did not answer.
Xu Shuangce seemed to be unaware of the chaos around him. He only looked at the gorgeous hijab in front of him, and asked again in a serious tone, "What are you, eh?"
"...He is Fahua Xianzun..." Yu Chixiao's voice finally sounded not far away. He clenched his hook Chenjian and stood up and said with difficulty: "You better wake up from the illusion, Sect Master Xu. The bride... is the Fahua Xianzun!"
With a loud bang, Qiangqi smashed the mountainside with his front palm, and climbed up the mountain rock like lightning, and behind him, countless boulders shattered into powder and fell into the abyss. The faceless guests finally reacted sluggishly, and fled in panic, but they burst into blood and blood under its sharp claws.
Everything is as if the scene from 20 years ago is reproduced. The fierce beast covered with thorns slammed over the eaves of the ancestral hall, aimed at the bride in front of the hall, and roared and opened the huge mask down!
"—It's all fake, Xu Bai." Gong Wei stared closely at Xu Shuangce: "As long as you wake up now, everything will disappear and everything will be a bubble. It's still too late."
Xu Shuangce closed his eyes.
The shadow falling from the sky is getting bigger and bigger, and Qiongqi's bloody breath has been sprayed on the back of Gong Wei's neck. Just in that moment of lightning, Xu Shuangce opened his eyes, his pupils were condensed with divine light, and he reluctantly drew his sword out of its scabbard—
The cold light is overwhelming.
In an instant, Gong Wei closed his eyes and was ready to fight a blow with his soul, but the next moment, the Qiong Qi above his head was cut off by the air.
Blood poured down, and Xu Shuangce was all over it like a torrential rain!
"I know," Xu Shuangce turned to Yuchixiao and said condescendingly.
Pfft! Pfft! There were several loud bangs, and a few heavy corpses were smashed on the steps, but no one could respond, and there was a suffocating silence around him.
Xu Shuangce's platinum robe was stained with blood, and it looked like he was wearing a bridegroom's auspicious costume. He retracted the sword and sheathed it in one hand, and held Gong Wei's wrist in the other, his eyes were calm, not even the slightest surprise:
"The auspicious time has come, why don't you go to church?"
