Yuchi Xiao didn't wait for him to say it a second time, he drew his sword out of the scabbard, the momentum was like a rainbow, the golden light of Tai Chi gossip suddenly appeared, and he roared and rushed in all directions!
boom-
The ground of the palace shook violently, Gong Wei was pushed upright and hit the wall by the air current, only to hear Yuchixiao angrily: "Next time this kind of thing! Say it directly! Do you want to kill me!!"
Gong Wei: "Do you understand before you start?! You sword cultivators are too rude!"
The surrounding masonry rustled, Yuchixiao didn't turn his head, he punched out eight talismans, and when he touched the air, the golden fire burst into a fierce grid—but the grid was empty in an instant.
No? !
Yuchixiao's eyelids twitched, and he saw that the power grid disappeared, the sword light dissipated, and there was no one else in the house except himself and Xiang Xiaoyuan: "Where is the evil?"
Gong Wei lay on his back on the couch, his pupils reflected a ghost that was getting closer and closer, and said unexpectedly, "You can't see it?"
This "ghost image" seemed to be slowly seeping out from the air, slow and calm, the whole body was wrapped in a layer of gray robes covered in smoke, and there was nothing under the huge hood.
—It has no face, not even a head, and the depths of its hood are tiny, slowly turning blood-red shimmers.
It leaned down slowly, as if looking carefully at Xiang Xiaoyuan's face. For some reason, Gong Wei felt that it seemed to be smiling, but it was by no means a comfortable smile, and then it opened its wide sleeves—
Gong Wei suddenly realized what it wanted to do: "Yuchixiao! Untie me!"
Before the roar came to the ground, Yuchixiao flew and slashed horizontally, and the sword pierced through the ghostly shadow as if there was nothing there, smashing half of the wall with a bang; The case, the five fingers quickly dialed the rhythm!
The murderous anger was like a rainstorm breaking a bank, the ghost shadow let out a silent roar, the smoke body twisted violently, and rushed towards Qin Xiu. No one except Gong Wei could see it at all, but it was too late, Meng Yunfei swept the strings with ten fingers, and the rhythm transformed into water waves and rushed forward, even blocking the ghost.
The "water wave" stirred up human-shaped waves in the void, and Meng Yunfei shouted, "Yuanju, there!"
Yuchixiao's long sword "Gou Chen" has been raised between his eyebrows, and he slammed it horizontally. His sharp eyebrows are reflected on the bright sword, and he whispered: "Wan Jian returns to his ancestors."
He really deserves to be the Young Master of Ye Jinmen. The next moment, the sword soul of "Gou Chen", who was suddenly awakened, burst into golden light, as if putting on an indestructible golden armor for him, wrapped in huge waves and slashed across the waist, instantly burning the ghostly shadow of thick smoke to ashes!
Yuchixiao stomped on the ground, and asked Gong Wei without turning his head, "—Are you gone?!"
Gong Wei stared at the void where the ghost shadow disappeared, his pupils tightened a little: "... No, it's still there."
Yuchixiao and Meng Yunfei's expression changed at the same time. At the same time, all the torches in the royal palace shook violently at the same time, and ghosts were crying from all directions. A ghost that was bigger and clearer than before flashed in the air, and with a clanging sound, a bright long handle was pulled out. sword.
How could there be a sword for such a mere evil? !
The situation did not allow Gong Wei to ponder, so he blurted out, "Yuchixiao!"
But it was too late. Yuchixiao only felt that the majestic murderous aura was coming at the head, how many times the instinct of life and death made him rush to activate, and then - Chong! !
Gou Chen Jian Jue is extremely aggressive, and once Yuchi Xiao is activated, he is like a living fort. However, at this moment, the two swords collided heavily, and the air flow raged wildly. Yuchixiao was actually swept away by the ghost sword!
With a loud bang, Yuchixiao smashed most of the red walls of the palace. Meng Yunfei slapped the strings, and the blue light stabbed, but the ghost shadow disappeared in an instant, and then appeared on the edge of the couch in an instant, and raised the ghost sword to Gong Wei's eyebrows—
All accidents happened in this lightning moment.
Yuchixiao and Meng Yunfei rushed from different directions, but it was doomed to be in vain, because the ghost sword had already pierced through the air, and the three familiar seal characters on the hilt of the sword were instantly reflected in Gong Wei's astonished eyes.
Bai, Tai, Shou!
Gong Wei's right eye pupil suddenly dilated, no one noticed that it turned blood red in an instant, and at the same time a mouthful of blood spurted from the lips.
The ghost sword clanged, and the tip of the sword was only half an inch away from the blood-colored eyeball.
Immediately afterwards, the sword body that was splashed with blood mist suddenly spewed thick smoke, as if being burned by fire, it quickly spread to the ghost's arm and body, and it was completely engulfed in an instant!
Obviously there was no sound, but everyone seemed to hear a howl that was strong enough to shatter the eardrums, and then it turned into a cloud of thick smoke and disappeared in the sharp whistle.
The other two rushed through the thick smoke, and even Yuchixiao couldn't hide a trace of fear, and slapped Gong Wei's immobilized spiritual vein with a palm: "Are you alright?!"
Meng Yunfei held Gong Wei's wrist with two fingers, and quickly checked the whole body's spiritual veins with true energy. He breathed a sigh of relief: "It's okay, not injured. How did the evil spirit disappear?"
"… "
Gong Wei had already closed his eyes in their eyes, and when he opened it again, his right eye had returned to normal, and there was no more abnormality, but his face was so white that there was no trace of blood.
"I don't know." He panted and said hoarsely, "That's not... that's not evil, it has a sword."
Yuchixiao said in surprise, "What?"
Gong Wei's cold lips pursed tightly, and he didn't say the name of the sword.
Beiwang Tianlang Bai Taishou, this sword that shook Jiuxiao clearly should have disappeared after his death, no one knows where it is, and no one can extract its unique sword soul, how can it appear in a ghost Shadow's hand
"Where's my body?" Gong Wei couldn't help thinking.
Xu Shuangce slaughtered my bones in Cangyang Mountain, and his blood was undefeated all year round. Then what
Where did they get my bones
·
Late at night, Cangyang Mountain.
Xu Shuangce opened his eyes, the fallen flowers were colorful, and the sky was filled with peach snow.
He slowly let out a breath, and like the dream that he had repeated countless times before, he stepped into the vast peach blossom forest in front of him again, and heard Ying Kai's voice in the distance:
"There! Hurry up Shuangce, that thing is going to run away!"
Don't go there, he thought.
All the weirdness and chaos were revealed from this scene, but he couldn't prevent all the tragedies from happening from the very beginning. He could only watch the young self walk forward from his side:
"coming!"
The waist-deep grass in the distance moved without wind, as if the prey hiding behind it was frightened and rushed south. But Ying Kai was already prepared. He threw four flaming talismans with his hand, and the platinum tail flames rushed toward his face. The "prey" suddenly turned his direction in fright and rushed towards the sparkling hot spring pool in the north.
Ying Kai: "Shuangce! Don't let it go into the water!"
The two of them have been friends since they were young. Before Ying Kai could finish his words, Xu Shuangce unsheathed his sword, and all of a sudden he saw the sword's energy breaking through the air, and the water waves turned into thousands of sharp blades and stabbed in the air, blocking the prey before it desperately plunged into the water.
It was too late and it was too fast, Ying Caesar cast out a mercurial silk net shining with faint red light, covering his head accurately and accurately, and the sharp neigh of the small beast suddenly sounded by the water.
Ying Kai: "Caught!"
Both of them fell to the ground and walked towards the mackerel net that was struggling in the grass, Ying Kai smiled and said, "I want to see where the spirits dared to enter Cangyang Mountain and even drank the brew from Sect Master Xu. The peach wine from , shouldn't it be a little monkey... eh?"
Ying Kai squatted down, and his voice suddenly stopped.
Xu Shuangce's voice came from behind: "What's wrong?"
"..." Ying Kai turned around, his face was full of surprise: "Yes... it's a person."
The "prey" in the shark mesh finally appeared as Ying Kai turned around. Xu Shuangce paused and met a pair of extremely frightened eyes.
It was a teenager.
He was very young, no more than fifteen or sixteen years old. He was naked like a newborn baby, almost eerily white, curled up in the net and trembling violently, his fingers holding his thin shoulders were so hard that they turned blue. The shadows of the two of them were reflected in those round eyes, the right eyeball was blood-clear red, and even the pupils were trembling with fear.
Xu Shuangce was silent for a long time before he heard his own voice say, "No. It can't be human."
Ying Kai pressed his thumb between the boy's eyebrows, ignoring the sobbing and struggling of the other person, closed his eyes to check for a few breaths, opened his eyes and said in amazement: "Three souls, seven souls and seven chakras are all complete, they are really human."
Xu Shuangce stepped forward, knelt down halfway, and just reached out his hand between his eyebrows, the young man suddenly let out a sharp scream, and he was about to fall into the pool of water. Ying Kai quickly grabbed it, tore off the demon-catching net in three or two times, took off his robe and wrapped his head around the boy's body, and asked, "What's your name? "
"… "
The young man clung to the corner of his robe tightly, his eyes wandering between the two of them, he opened his mouth briefly, but only made a few meaningless syllables, and then clenched his fighting teeth.
"Don't you know how to speak? Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, shh." Ying Kai kept reassuring, tentatively put his hand on the boy's wet short hair, patted the top of his head patiently, and smiled: "Don't be afraid, you hide in How long have you been in the peach forest? Do you want to go out?"
Maybe it was his kind smile that played a role. The violent trembling of the boy's whole body finally subsided, and he looked at the two of them vigilantly back and forth. After a long while, he didn't know what to do. He suddenly closed his eyes, and when he opened it again, the monster was strange. His right eye had turned the same black as theirs.
"He's watching us." Xu Shuangce looked down at him and said softly, "He's learning how to be a human being."
It's not surprising that the spirits of famous mountains and rivers are full of spirits, but Ying Kai shook his head: "The monster spirit can't transform a human soul, but his soul is intact, there may be some other reasons - I will take him back to the Xianmeng. , please take a look at Brother Yizong Mu." He reached out his hand to the young man and asked gently, "Can I take you out?"
This action made the boy who had just calmed down shuddered backwards, as if he was ready to escape at any time. But Ying Kai's smile didn't change, and his undefended palms were spread up. After half a moment, the young man finally leaned in slowly, almost inch by inch, hesitantly raised a hand, and then turned his head. He looked at Xu Shuangce.
He seemed to be waiting for something, but Xu Shuangce saw his young self just standing there, narrowing his eyes slightly, and said nothing.
The boy finally turned his head and put his hand in Ying Kai's palm.
- At the moment of touching, the rare translucency of the skin on his entire body suddenly disappeared, turning into an abnormally white but warm and real appearance. But the change was too subtle and difficult to detect. Ying Kai held up his hands to help the man up, and found that he couldn't stand on his feet at all, so he could only pick him up and walk down the mountain.
Xu Shuangce followed behind, and saw the young man cross Ying Kai's shoulder, tilt his head and look at him, the corner of his mouth moved for a long time, as if he was imitating Ying Kai's expression just now, carefully showing a pleasing smile.
That should be the first expression Gong Wei learned.
Before that, he didn't know how to express his wishes with his demeanor and words, so Xu Shuangce couldn't be sure if he wanted to tell himself when he curled up by the pool and looked at him, he wanted to stay in that place. Cangyang Mountain in the peach forest.
Xu Shuangce opened his eyes, and the dark night was leaking into the bed through the layers of curtains.
He sat up from the couch, walked down the ninth sapphire steps, and waved open the heavy bedroom door. The disciples on the left and right were not seen, the moon halo reflected the galaxy in circles, and the peach blossom forest fluttered like the snow falling under the moon.
In the distance, the forest shoots are rustling, and spooky whispers are coming from the wind:
"... The peach blossoms in our sect are so prosperous, how come they never wither?" "Have you heard that rumor?" "What rumor?" "It was sixteen years ago..."
Xu Shuangce's brows moved, and Misheng looked over.
"Sixteen years ago, when the headmaster of the palace died, our sect master went crazy, strangled the corpse for thousands of miles and used the sword to this point, destroyed the body in this forest, and the blood splashed into the branches and stamens, which is why this peach blossom blooms undefeated all year round. It is said that this sea of thousands of flowers is the result of the 16-year-old resentment of the President of the Palace!"
One person exclaimed in a low voice: "Why? Two immortal masters, why are you here?"
The voice behind was soft and thin, with an indescribable quirk under the moonlight: "Who would dare to mention the past so many years ago? Who knew that twenty years ago, Sect Master Xu wanted to marry a mute girl. Wife, on the day when the red candle was hanging high in the hall to get married, the headmaster of the palace suddenly arrived and killed the bride with one sword!"
The sea of trees swayed and rustled, and the sound of inhalation sounded everywhere.
In the clearing in the forest, the two disciples were head-to-head, but there seemed to be countless ghosts whispering with them, spreading far and wide in the wind: "But Sect Master Xu's marriage is such a big thing, the world has never heard of it. Ah?" "Didn't Sect Master Xu stay in Cangyang Mountain all the time? When was there a legend about marrying a wife?" "Why do you want to marry a dumb girl?"…
The high-pitched, smug voice resounded again: "A portrait of a woman in red is enshrined on the inner wall of Xuanji Hall, which was painted by the sect master himself. The sect master has many killing obstacles when he was young, legend... Ah! "
The countless clamor of sprites in the wind stopped abruptly, and the two disciples knelt down at the same time, trembling and said, "Sect Master!"
Xu Shuangce didn't say a word, his eyes were like frost under the moon, and he closed his eyes for a long time.
The two disciples Qiqiao bleed out blood at the same time, but they couldn't even beg for mercy, so they made two muffled noises, and both fell to the ground in pain. A frightening sound.
Xu Shuangce turned around and stepped over the broken leaves soaked in blood, straddling the long steps that shone with moonlight.
The jade column is high and the sleeping hall is wide. A portrait of a woman on the wall is vaguely revealed behind the heavy veil. She has her back to the person, and she can only see that the figure under the wedding dress is extremely slim and graceful.
Xu Shuangce stopped and looked at her quietly.
"Did you draw this, Xu Bai?" He heard Gong Wei's frivolous laughter coming from the void beside him, and the familiar figure slowly emerged, standing in front of the portrait with his hands behind his back, leaning over and looking carefully for a while, then He smiled and turned his head.
He said, "You don't look like it, you don't look like it at all. Did you do it on purpose?"
Gong Wei was born very thin, always giving people the illusion of going with the wind. But every time he appeared, he was very vivid, as if he had never left, and every syllable with a smile hit the heart of the heart.
Xu Shuangce asked, "Who let you go to Cangyang Mountain?"
Gong Wei turned lightly, and the Yanzhi-colored robe embroidered with maple leaves curved out under the moonlight, like gleaming wings, the next moment he stuck his head out from the other side of Xu Shuangce and said with great interest: " Xu Bai, Xu Bai, you are such a strange person. You look so cold and so affectionate in private, are you still mad at me?"
"… "
Gong Wei's glazed eyes turned and came closer, his right pupil slowly turned red, his lips almost pressed against his ear and asked, "Let me draw another picture for you, I know what the front looks like. You Want a frontal photo? I…”
Xu Shuangce suddenly drew his sword, and a cold light burst into the sky.
Gong Wei flew back quickly, his back slammed into the stone pillar of the bedroom, tightly covering his right eye, blood seeped out from between his fingers!
Xu Shuangce nailed the long sword to the ground beside him with a bang, and looked at him condescendingly: "Gong Zhengyu."
Unfortunately, the sharp edge of the sword made Gong Wei's face pale, and the blood ran down the gaps of his fingers, escaping from his wrists into the wide sleeves of his robe.
"They all say you are human, but I know you can't be." Xu Shuangce leaned over and stared at him, his voice soft and ruthless: "If you dare to use your inhuman tricks on me again, don't blame me for going backwards. Don't treat you like a human being."
The air seemed to freeze, and the stone walls of the main hall reflected a cold and dim light, and Xu Shuangce's dark eyes were bottomless. Gong Wei looked up at him, suddenly smiled for a long time, and let go of his blood-stained hand, only to see that his bewitching right eye had returned to normal, but under the corner of his eye there was a wound drawn by reluctant sword qi. It was very deep, and the blood was still gushing out:
"Sect Master Xu, you hurt me."
He raised his face, complaining that there was a juvenile charm in his complaint, and the lazily long tail sound was like a veil fluttering in the moonlight.
Xu Shuangce looked down at him. After the dream repeated countless times, he already knew what was going to happen next. The last trace of consciousness sharply woke him up and immediately pulled away, but in fact he was still standing there, unmoved—
A burst of peach blossoms of spring dawn rushed towards his lips.
At this moment, Xu Shuangce suddenly sat up from the bed.
"Sect Master!" "Sect Master!"
Xu Shuangce waved off the heavy curtains and walked out of the deep nine-layered hall. Outside, the night sky was vast and dark blue.
The two guarding disciples in white clothes and silver armor, completely unaware that they had just appeared in the dream, hurriedly bowed down on one knee and saluted. After a long while, I heard a low voice coming from overhead:
"When a person wakes up from a dream, how can he tell whether the world he is in is reality or another dream?"
The two disciples were stunned and couldn't help looking at each other. The higher-level one hesitated: "Back to Sect Master, when people dream... they shouldn't feel sadness and pain. If they don't feel pain, then It must have been a dream."
Before dawn, the earth was quiet, only the mountain wind rustled through the woods and brushed Xu Shuangce's robe sleeves.
The two disciples stared at the green brick in front of them, their backs tensed. It seemed like a long, long time before he heard Xu Shuangce laugh hoarsely, but he couldn't tell what emotion it was, and there was a faint sarcasm ending.
