A quarter of an hour ago.
Daishan, Punishment Shu Palace.
The golden boat hovered quietly in the sky, looking down from the side of the boat, the immortal clouds lingered in the Qianli Mountains of Daishan Mountain, and the Punishment Palace was like a distant city on the top of the clouds.
With a cracking sound of ice cracking, the well-dressed body of Immortal Fahua was suspended from the bed of mysterious ice, and gently fell into the golden coffin that had been prepared. Immediately, the layers of coffins vibrated in a staggered and orderly manner, closing tightly one by one, completely sealing his calm and pale face inside.
Ying Kai stood beside the coffin with his sleeves up and sighed sadly: "Tomorrow I will find a reason to send you to Yanchun Terrace and find a way to bring Gong Zhengyu back, otherwise it will be revealed sooner or later. Alas, I don't know about him. How much he has suffered these days, I see that he is hungry and thin... "
Yu Chi Rui was knocking walnuts with his teeth, and when he heard the words he asked suspiciously, "Is there any?"
However, in Ying Kai's eyes, since Yu Chi Rui and Gong Wei grew up and left the Punishment Palace a few decades ago, every time they came back, both of them would definitely lose weight, one was tired and the other was hungry. Later, Yu Chi Rui and Gong Wei both felt that if they were to lose weight at the frequency described by Ying Kai, they should have turned into two skeletons long ago.
Ying Kai was even more sad: "Sixteen years ago, Gong Zhengyu made a big mistake because of my lax discipline and dereliction of duty. After I bring him back this time, I will definitely take him back and make him retreat and think about it. You are not allowed to come out for three or five years! You are not allowed to seek revenge from Shuangce!"
Yuchi Changsheng was right, it would be fine if he didn't get caught by Xu Shuangce and build it into the wall of Xuanji Hall, so he would take revenge
At this time, the door of the Zangshi Pavilion was knocked on, and Ying Kai, who was still waiting to chat, suddenly closed his mouth, only to see Mu Duozhu pushing the door and entering, politely said: "Brother Ying, are you okay? Punishing Shu Palace disciple. Send someone to invite, and say that the immortal mausoleum has been cleaned and ready for burial."
Ying Kai hurriedly bowed his hands to bow, Mu Duozhu looked at him for a long time, and asked with concern, "Brother Ying, how did you lose weight these two days?"
"Pfft!" Yuchi Rui couldn't hold back, and the walnut kernel almost choked into the intake pipe.
"..." Ying Kai touched his face, dumbfounded, and asked, "Is there any?"
Mu Duozhu did not smile, but frowned and said, "Brother Ying has been blue and black these past two days, his divine light has been dimmed, and his spiritual energy has been condensed. I am afraid that the primordial spirit has been severely depleted. If you feel any discomfort, please tell me as soon as possible, and dispense the medicine as soon as possible. Just rest."
After saying this, Ying Kai suddenly remembered something, but after hesitating for a moment, he said: "That day, when Yuanshen entered the illusion that Du Kaixun showed through the soldiers' silk, he didn't feel anything at first, but later he had more than two consecutive nights of uneasy dreams, and frequent I woke up startled. I always felt as if I had a dream of something important, but when I woke up, I couldn’t remember what I had dreamed about... I’ve really been feeling overwhelmed for the past two days, maybe it’s because I was too big.”
At that time, when he entered the illusion, he used his primordial spirit to open the way, which was equivalent to relying on his soul to force his way through life and death, and it was not surprising that he left some sequelae. Mu Duozhu said: "In this case, Ying brother, why don't you move forward first, wait for me to help you diagnose and visit before disembarking, at least to get some peace of mind."
Ying Kai habitually declined: "No, no, Brother Mu is bothered, Chengfeng said before that he would rest for half a month in this situation, so I..."
"Brother Ying, don't worry about the consultation fee."
Ying Kai thought he heard it wrong: "What?"
Mu Duozhu said solemnly, "You can owe it first."
"… "
Ying Kai didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He was about to say something when suddenly there were hurried footsteps outside the gate of the Zangshi Pavilion. Immediately afterward, a disciple in purple robe stepped in, and before he even had time to bow one by one, he leaned over and said, "Yanchuntai's Dharma Array is urgently reported! The evil spirit in Linjiang suddenly appeared and hurt people. Lord Lesheng was in a state of confusion in the mirror technique. The sword killed the direct disciple Meng Yunfei!"
All three changed their expressions, and Mu Duozhu said, "What?!"
Ying Kai suddenly felt his primordial spirit vibrate uncontrollably for several times, as if an invisible giant force clamped his soul and was pulling it out heavily.
This feeling has happened several times over the past few days, and none has been as dramatic and obvious as it is now. But at this time, he didn't care about the strangeness, and barely calmed his mind and asked, "Sect Master Xu and a disciple are visiting Yanchun Terrace. Has there been any news from the two of them?"
The purple-clothed disciple bowed his head: "Sect Master Xu is injured in one arm, and he is now fighting for Lesheng in the Penglai Hall!"
Ying Kai took off his legs and walked out, and commanded in a stern voice: "Send someone to inform Cangyang Sect that Shangzhilan Meng's family will report the funeral, and Brother Mu will bring someone to prepare a coffin to accompany me to Yanchun Terrace. Changsheng sits in the Daishan Xianmeng and informs the Punishment Shu Palace. Prepare to open Ding Xianling, in case Liu Xuzhi has a long or short... What's the matter?"
The rest of the people stared at him in amazement, Mu Duozhu said in a trembling voice, "Brother Ying, you?"
Ying Kai stopped, touched his nose subconsciously, and his hands were bright red.
Dark red blood flowed from his nose, ears, and eyes, dripping onto the ground. Immediately afterwards, a mouthful of blood that shone with golden light suddenly spewed out, he only had time to stumble, and then fell down!
"Brother Ying!"
Mu Duozhu and Yu Chi Rui both rushed forward to support him at the same time, only to see Ying Kai's eyes closed, the sea of anger boiling violently like a searing sea, Mu Duozhu stretched out his hand to probe, and then his expression changed drastically: " No, his Primordial Spirit is very unstable..."
Before he finished speaking, Yu Chi Rui suddenly raised his hand to interrupt him.
"Sword Sect?"
Yu Chi Rui's expression was stern and his eyes were sharp, which was very different from his usual appearance. Mu Duozhu mentioned it in his heart, and saw that he turned to the huge golden coffin not far behind, and slowly pressed his hand on the Rakshasa Pagoda of the divine sword around his waist.
Mu Duozhu mouthed in disbelief and asked, "Is it again...?"
Yu Chi Rui turned back silently, blocked everyone behind him, and whispered a word: "Go."
Mu Duozhu didn't need him to instruct him a second time, he quickly set up Ying Kai and led his disciples out of the corpse pavilion. The moment he stepped out of the gate, he heard a dull sound from the golden coffin behind him—
Bang.
Immediately afterwards, the entire golden ship shook violently, and everyone sank sharply with the ground:
Boom! !
The two loud noises were separated by thousands of miles, but they completely coincided at this moment.
On the Banquet Terrace, three layers, eight groups, and sixty-five large and small bronze bells vibrated in turn, with shrill sounds like sharp cones and heavy sounds like mountain cracks. Penglai Hall!
Xu Shuangce was in the middle of the vortex, he waved his hand to set up a magic circle, and locked the sound wave in the Penglai Hall a moment before it rushed out of the hall. Immediately after Qingli Jianguang came in front of him, Liu Xuzhi had already rushed in front of him, and in the blink of an eye, hundreds of swords were fired, all of which were avoided by Xu Shuangce like lightning.
"Xu Shuangce... kill... kill..."
Xu Shuangce took the photo with a palm: "Liu Xuzhi!"
Liu Xuzhi's Tianling Gai took this blow and spit out a mouthful of blood, but his bloodshot eyes still stared straight at the void: "Ten... can't... let him... "
With a clatter, Xu Shuang waved the Qingli sword and held Liu Xuzhi's shirt: "What did you see?"
Every word of his contains a powerful power to break the devil, but Liu Xuzhi has been completely controlled by his most feared illusion.
The bronze bell with a weight of more than 1000 ounces banged loudly, and the sound wave was like a frenzy, urging the primordial spirit, and the Qingli Jianguang finally brought an arc of blood on Xu Shuangce's chest!
Fortunately, Xu Shuang was quick, but the front of the shirt was still cut horizontally by a foot-long tear.
The injury to his right arm has not yet healed, and dodging blindly will do nothing to make up for it, so the Penglai Hall will collapse sooner or later. Xu Shuangce frowned, and his eyes reflected the direction of Gong Wei's departure outside the hall.
He finally made a decision, raised his hand before Liu Xuzhi rushed up again, and said solemnly, "I can't help it."
- The dazzling meteor broke through the void, rolled up into the sky with majestic energy, and was firmly grasped by Xu Shuangce with a snap.
The next moment, the spiritual power burst from the hilt along the body of the sword, and the raging flames slashed down in the air. The sixty-five bronze bells in the full hall collapsed and burst, and a sword lifted Liu Xuzhi several dozen feet away!
Liu Xuzhi's body smashed through more than ten stone walls, half of the hall collapsed in violent vibration, and the rainstorm-like ruins suddenly buried him underneath.
Xu Shuangce raised his sword and stepped forward, and once again pulled out Liu Xuzhi from the ruins with one hand.
Le Sheng was powerless to resist, but he still twitched. The whites of his eyes turned blood red almost completely, his vision was slack without any divine light, and a small pinpoint-like pupil appeared inside the pupil—a sign that the primordial spirit had been deeply controlled by the illusion.
"Xu Shuangce... kill... you kill..."
"What did you see?" Xu Shuangce asked in a low voice.
Liu Xuzhi turned a deaf ear, and only repeated those words over and over. He seemed to be fighting someone to the death in an illusion, and his whole face was slightly distorted by anger, anger and fear.
Xu Shuangce finally exhaled and said, "Since you don't tell me, I can only go in and see it myself."
With his spiritual power, he moved his fingertips, and blood splattered between his fingers. He dipped in the blood and drew an extremely complicated and difficult talisman pattern on Liu Xuzhi's forehead, which was full of cold sweat.
At the moment when the last stroke of Fu Lu was settled, Liu Xuzhi slammed his whole body, and his primordial spirit was pinched to death by an invisible giant palm; at the same time, Xu Shuangce separated from his body and looked at Le Sheng from the air indifferently. For a moment, head down!
It was as if the whole world had sunk into darkness, and after a few breaths, the sight lighted up again, and the long wind howling came blowing through the temples.
Standing in the center of the illusion, Xu Shuangce slowly opened his eyes.
In front of you is a high platform with white jade pavement and golden pillars. The wind in the deep winter swept through the distant mountains and forests, and the gray sky was faintly bloody. The grandmasters of the eight sects of the sixth family fell on the ground, some with blood on their heads, and some without knowing their lives and deaths; Liu Xuzhi in the illusion fell down beside him in blood, twitching unwillingly, but to no avail.
The white jade floor tiles that could not see the end were cracked inch by inch, and the cracks were all dyed red with blood, as if a bloody giant net had been spread out under the sky.
It turned out to be Shengxiantai.
- Who did it
The answer was about to come out, when Xu Shuangce heard the familiar footsteps behind him, he turned his head stiffly and saw himself.
The cold-faced Sect Master Cangyang in the illusion passed him by, without any pause, he walked straight forward. Xu Shuangce's eyes followed, and he saw that "I" was walking towards the center of Shengxiantai, and there was still a person standing there, it was Gong Wei!
But that was no longer the Gong Wei Xu Shuangce was familiar with. At least in his impression, Gong Wei had never been so embarrassed or so shaky.
His crimson robe was dyed deep red, his white lining was soaked with blood, his left arm was broken, his abdominal cavity was penetrated, and he could barely stand with a sword in his right hand; he seemed to have difficulty breathing, but still stubbornly raised his head Looking at the Cangyang Sect Master in the illusion, even from such a long distance, he could clearly see the light of despair and begging in his eyes.
Xu Shuangce's pupils suddenly tightened.
He saw his sword fall, without hesitation, a sword stabbed into Gong Wei's left heart!
As soon as Xu Shuangce's feet left the ground, he was bound by an invisible force. This was Liu Xuzhi's illusion, and he couldn't leave the realm master more than three feet away!
Blood spurted out of Gong Wei's chest and reflected in Xu Shuangce's trembling pupils. He saw that the boy finally slumped to his knees, but his hands were still clenching the reluctant sword, and big tears welled up from his eyes. came out.
Why just cry
Didn't you always want to kill me, why didn't you fight back
Xu Shuangce put his hands and fingers into his palms, his blood rolled down the palms, and the last remaining sanity was frantically warning him not to look again, but in fact he couldn't even look away, and he saw the young man facing the illusion. He said something, his trembling mouth was clear—
"Xu Shuangce, I... I like you... "
"...you can't do that to me..."
In an instant, it seemed that it was himself who had been struck with a sword of resignation.
Xu Shuangce stood there.
His brain was almost blank, but he could not see his expression in the illusion from his back. At this time, I saw a person in the distance reluctantly get up. It turned out to be the seriously injured Jian Zong Yu Chi Rui, who used his last strength to slash down, but was easily blocked by the Cangyang Sect Master!
When there was a clear sound, the Divine Sword Rakshasa Pagoda only slashed the armguard to pieces. Then Yuchi Rui spat out a mouthful of blood and knelt on the ground weakly:
"No... can't... let him..."
Can't let him what? !
Xu Shuangce couldn't hear the words behind, because he saw that he was no longer blocked in the illusion, and he used all his strength to stab Gong Wei's heart into it—
The sky was spinning like falling off a deep cliff, Xu Shuangce's consciousness shook violently, and his soul fell back to his body.
boom!
The Penglai Hall was in a mess, and as Xu Shuangce let go, Liu Xuzhi, who was completely insane, fell heavily on the ruins.
"… "
The shaking had stopped, and the surroundings were terribly suffocated. The voices of people outside the hall in the distance were coming through the night sky, shouting, crying, and running back and forth.
No one saw that in this small corner, Sect Master Cangyang was half-kneeling on the ground, holding the cracked floor tiles in one hand, only his hoarse and terrifying gasps echoed in his ears.
"I like you" - as if the shadows gradually emerged from the deep water, the bloody begging voice in the illusion resounded from the depths of consciousness again.
Impossible, you obviously just want to kill me.
"But I like you."
You don't even know what love is!
"How could you slaughter me like this, Xu Shuangce?"
There was a crisp cracking sound, all five fingers pressed into the floor tiles at the same time, and Xu Shuangce pressed his forehead firmly with one hand.
Like a cornered beast, he suddenly had an extremely absurd thought in his heart: Could everything in that fantasy world have happened
He deliberately said that he liked me, just to see me being cut with thousands of swords at the moment, just to avenge himself for killing himself
squeak-
At this time, the door of the palace was suddenly pushed open, and a familiar and brisk footstep crossed the threshold: "Is there anyone?"
In an instant, Xu Shuangce's face changed drastically, and he turned around suddenly.
The heavy hall door was pushed open a crack, and under the moonlight, "Xiang Xiaoyuan" was jumping over the broken ground with his hands behind his back. The youth's figure always has a sense of rhythm that is light to the extreme. He looked around curiously, and suddenly saw Xu Shuangce, his eyes lit up: "Master!"
The darkness completely covered Xu Shuangce's expression at the moment, Gong Wei couldn't see it, and rushed forward happily: "Master is really wise and martial, he has already turned the tide, and the disciple admires it! The disciple is worried about the master, so I came..."
Xu Shuangce's repressed voice came from the shadows, cold and biting: "Stop."
