"stop."
These two words seemed to be poured down by a bucket of ice water, and Gong Wei was stunned.
He stopped, only to find that Xu Shuangce slowly stood up from the shadows, his right hand clenching the helpless sword seemed slightly unstable, and his eyes were fixed on him.
Gong Wei subconsciously stopped: "Master?"
The young man raised his head slightly, and his attitude was confused and innocent, which overlapped with the scene in the fantasy world where his hands and legs were cut off, and his body was covered in blood.
"Don't come here," Xu Shuangce took a half step back, no one could hear his tense ending: "Don't come near me."
"Master? How do you..."
Whoa!
Xu Shuangce stepped back hastily and knocked over the coffee table in the ruins, but he was not in the mood to take it into consideration. He clenched his soldering iron with resignation, his vision was clear and dazed for a while, and he saw that the young man greeted him step by step with a face full of trust and begging, and then his own sword fell and pierced his heart.
Until the last moment, he held onto the sword of reluctance in disbelief, and his eyes were full of tears.
I like you so much, how can you treat me like this
Gong Wei didn't understand what was going on, but the habitual trust was clearly written in his eyes, and he stretched out his hand full of flattery: "Master, I..."
An invisible force came from his chest, and he was pushed out unexpectedly!
Bang!
Gong Wei knocked over the table and chairs, staggered and fell to the ground, and the tea bowl and porcelain fell to the ground and shattered.
He seemed to have been slapped heavily in the face, his whole body was covered, he sat on the ground in a daze and disbelief, and watched Xu Shuangce suddenly take a half step forward, but he stopped abruptly, and his blunt expression was mostly hidden. In the darkness, he stared at him condescendingly for a moment, then suddenly turned around and walked away.
"Master, Master?" Gong Wei suddenly woke up from the confusion, and the fear without any reason suddenly came to his heart. His arms hurriedly wrapped around Xu Shuangce's waist from behind: "I'm sorry, Master, I was wrong, I will definitely change it in the future!"
He didn't know why he was left behind, just like when he was pissed and kissed Ying Kai in front of Xu Shuangce when he was a child, and then Xu Shuangce turned around and left without saying a word, not even a single glance; and that time He was full of joy and promised that if Xu Shuangce died, he would cry, but Xu Shuangce's expression changed immediately, and then he got up and walked away, not coming back to see him in the Punishment Palace for a long time.
He never knew where he was going wrong.
But if Xu Bai was angry, he subconsciously felt that he must have done something wrong.
Xu Shuangce's chest rose and fell rapidly, he grabbed the boy's hand tightly around his waist and abdomen, and spit out two words: "Let go."
But Gong Wei pressed hard behind him and refused to let go: "Master, I didn't do it on purpose, I won't dare again next time..."
"open!"
"Master, Master, don't leave me alone on the Yanchun Terrace!"
Xu Shuangce took a long breath and tried his best to suppress the suspicion, remorse, and needle-like fear that remained in his consciousness. He wanted to grab the boy's hand and break him apart, but for some reason he couldn't be ruthless. He didn't even try to break it a few times; this action stimulated Gong Wei's sensitive nerves even more, and he thought he was going to be thrown out again. Now, in the confusion, he said loudly, "I don't want you to cast spells to replace your body! I promise to be careful not to get hurt again in the future!"
Xu Shuangce couldn't bear it any longer, he flicked his sleeves, but He Jian instantly turned into a meteor and disappeared into his palm.
The sword spirit disappeared, and the power that had always been pressing on Gong Wei's heart was loosened. Xu Shuangce squeezed his hand to force him to let go of him, turned around to pull Gong Wei's chin, and said hoarsely, "You came back to take revenge, right?"
—Many years ago, when you and I were not yet legends, I once brought disaster to the human world, and you desperately fought back the thunder tribulation, guarded the soul of Juzong and ascended to the heaven, and faced the slaughter that I fell from the sky. .
Years later, you and I were reincarnated as human beings. In some unknown time and space, you once stood in a sea of blood and begged me so scarred, clenching your reluctant hand and being almost completely cut by the sword, but in the end, you were cut by a sword. The sword pierced through the heart.
If those begs and blood were true, then all the innate killing intent and unexplainable hatred finally found a reason at this moment—
From the moment you suddenly appeared in Cangyang Mountain Peach Blossom Forest, from the moment you and I first met, you came back to seek revenge for me, right
The trance left by the illusion made Xu Shuangce's mind confused. He saw his beast-like eyes in Gong Wei's pupils, but Gong Wei only looked up at him, puzzled and afraid: "What?"
Xu Shuangce's fingers holding the boy's jawbone turned blue and white, and at this moment, a red visible token automatically slipped from his sleeve, and dozens of red lights interlaced thousands of miles of visible formations popped up in the air.
Xu Shuangce didn't even look at it, he was about to swipe the token with a flick of his hand, but Yuchi Changsheng had already appeared in the center of the circle. He looked even more embarrassed than Xu Shuangce. He didn't even care to see what happened at Yanchuntai. The first sentence he rushed out was: "Something happened to Ying Kai!"
Gong Wei blurted out: "What?"
Only then did Xu Shuangce turn around, bloodshot eyes faintly glistening.
"—Ying Kai's seven orifices bleed and suddenly fell into a coma. Doctor Zong is trying his best to rescue him." Yuchi Changsheng said half a word of nonsense.
Like a bolt from the blue, it suddenly hit the half-collapsed Penglai Hall.
I saw Yuchi Changsheng half-kneeling on the ground, holding a sword in one hand and covering his head with the other. The corpse pavilion behind him was almost in ruins, the ground completely collapsed, half of the giant golden coffin was submerged in the ground, and the heavy coffin lid was knocked flying and stuck in the wall.
"..." Xu Shuangce finally let go of Gong Wei, stood up and asked hoarsely, "Isn't the soldier thread in the corpse still clean?"
That soldier thread runs through all the spiritual veins of the Fahua Immortal Venerable, and has been drawn clean under the mutual witness of Changsun Chengfeng and Mu Duozhu, otherwise they will not be re-entered into the coffin and buried in the mausoleum. If the corpse is still mutated, could it be that the two of them made a fake together
Yuchi Changsheng shook his head and pointed to his chest:
"There's one last piece left here, hidden at the heart penetration, so it's undiscovered."
Soldier silk only exists in the spiritual veins, unless there is a break in the flesh, it is impossible to get in, and the heart of the Fahua Xianzun really has a break - sixteen years ago, it had no choice but to penetrate it, leaving the blood dripping. hole.
Xu Shuangce's expression seemed to be frozen by ice suddenly.
"The leader of the alliance has suffered a plot, and the current life and death is unknown. I have issued an edict of Jianzong to let all the sect masters immediately enter the Punishment Palace." Yuchi Changsheng's tone was straight, but every word was like a golden hook and an iron halberd: "Tianliang Those who have not been called before will be punished as suspects.”
After a while, Xu Shuangce closed his eyes, waved his hand, and wiped out the Formation Formation.
·
Gong Wei was full of messy thoughts: How could Ying Kai be plotted against? In the end what happened? Can the situation be salvaged now
Suddenly, he felt his arm tighten, and Xu Shuangce's iron pincer-like hand grabbed him, and the other hand moved inward. Following his action, Liu Xuzhi in the ruins and Meng Yunfei from outside the hall flew in at the same time. Both of them were unconscious and suspended in mid-air motionless.
From Xu Shuangce's expression, he couldn't tell whether he was still angry or not. Gong Wei looked at him for a while, and then summoned up the courage to ask in a low voice, "...Master wants to return to the Immortal League?"
When the life and death of the alliance leader is unknown, the Cangyang Sect Master will act on his behalf. At the same time, in order to prevent turmoil in the world, all the noble lords of the aristocratic sects must immediately go to Mount Dai as a pledge until the alliance leader turns the corner or finds the murderer. law. But Yanchuntai is located in the border area. It took them several days just to come. Wouldn't it be more delaying the trip to go back with two unconscious big living people
Xu Shuangce did not answer, and said hoarsely outside the hall:
"Blood river cart."
There was a sudden gust of wind in the night sky, blowing the bricks and rubble on the ground to separate sides. After a short while, a giant car driven by Di Jiang, Bi Fang, Miemeng, and Gu Diao crashed to the ground, broke through the door of the hall amid the exclamations of the disciples outside the hall, and stopped in front of the two!
"… "
Gong Wei's doubts were easily resolved, and there was only one thought left in his heart—what was Xu Shuangce staying in an inn and hiking on the way, afraid of tiring his bird
Xu Shuang waved his hand outward again, and Liu Xuzhi and Meng Yunfei flew into the open car door one after another. Immediately, he grabbed Gong Wei's arm and stepped into the car. As soon as the two of them sat down, the four giant birds spread their wings and chirped, breaking the window and rushing into the sky.
Gong Wei was pushed forward by the momentum, almost crashed into Xu Shuangce's arms, and was pulled by his wrist.
The inside of the blood river cart is huge. The two masters and disciples of Le Sheng were directly left in the outer room. The crane and golden nanmu paper door was closed, and only the two of them were left in the spacious inner room. Gong Wei hurriedly sat upright, holding the table, trying to withdraw his hand, but he tried his best but was unable to break free, only to hear Xu Shuangce suddenly ask without warning:
"Is this world real?"
Gong Wei was stunned, looking up and meeting the sharp, dark eyes on the opposite side.
Xu Shuangce repeated: "Is this world real?"
When Gong Wei was just caught in the car by him, he thought comfortably that it must have been his attitude of admitting his mistake, and Xu Bai's anger had disappeared. But immediately after hearing this question, there was a sense of absurdity in the ear: "... Master?"
Could it be that Xu Bai's anger had not disappeared
Gong Wei really didn't know where he was wrong, but before he had time to rack his brains to organize the words and apologize again, only to hear Xu Shuangce suddenly say:
"After the Shengxiantai Incident 16 years ago, there is a question that I have been brooding about for many years, but I still can't let myself go."
He brought up sixteen years ago.
Gong Wei's heart skipped a beat for an instant.
Xu Shuangce stared straight at him and said, "I want to know why Gong Zhengyu wanted to kill me."
In fact, the fact that President Gong wanted to kill Sect Master Xu was unexpected to the Xianmeng families. After all, the conflicts between them were too intense and irreconcilable. Moreover, if the path to ascension could really be opened up on the Ascension Stage 16 years ago, then with Xu Shuangce's cultivation at that time, it was really possible to descend from heaven and to ascend at any time, then even if the dean of the palace hated him again in the future, there was no chance to start— You can never find the upper realm to seek revenge.
Therefore, Shengxiantai is the last chance for President Gong, and everyone can figure this out.
Only Xu Shuangce could not.
"I don't understand why Gong Zhengyu wants me to die. Everyone says it's because he hates me, but I don't believe it. There must be some unknown reason in his heart, but I haven't guessed it yet."
Xu Shuang leaned slightly strategically, looked at Gong Wei's wide eyes, and said softly, "Until today, I finally found another possibility for myself."
"..." Gong Wei had no idea what happened to Xu Shuangce just now, but he was keenly aware of the unease: "What is the possibility?"
The carriage was dimly lit, but Sect Master Xu's sharp eyes were exceptionally bright. Maybe it's because it's too bright, and there's a kind of weird paranoia: "If I ever committed a serious crime in a certain life cycle, killed indiscriminately, and slaughtered countless people in the world; The Xianmeng almost disappeared, and even stabbed him to death..."
These ridiculous words were spoken so clearly and calmly by him, and the strong contrast made people horrified, but he himself stared straight at Gong Wei, as if he didn't notice at all.
"Then all the worries over the past sixteen years have finally been answered. At least I deserved what I deserved, and I can relieve myself when I die at his hands in the future."
"—What do you think, Xiang Xiaoyuan?"
The carriage was frighteningly quiet, and a kind of absurd fear suddenly rose from Gong Wei's heart, trying to break free from his wrist, but Xu Shuangce's five fingers were cold and heavy like shackles: "No such thing, Master, you just thought about it. It's heavy, you..."
Xu Shuangce's deep outline was almost engulfed by shadows, but the corners of his eyes were terrifyingly bright: "Overthinking?"
"I don't know what you're talking about, you let go first..."
"Is it just overthinking?"
"I really don't know, let me go!" Gong Wei tried hard to break free from the tighter and tighter shackles, his hands had been pinched to the point of blue veins, and his wrist bones were trembling with pain: "You hurt me!"
Xu Shuangce suddenly relaxed, Gong Wei withdrew his hand, and there were four green and red fingerprints on the wrist bone.
"… "
Gong Wei clutched her wrist hard, and looked at Xu Shuangce with only the corner of her eyes, wondering why she was suddenly dragged into this bizarre nightmare. The air in the room seemed to freeze. I don't know how long it took, the vague surging violence around Xu Shuangce finally faded away. He closed his eyes and exhaled. Too many exceptions.
He opened his palms and whispered, "Give it to me."
Gong Wei was in severe pain like a cracked bone, and after hesitating for a while, he slowly put the injured wrist into his palm again.
But Xu Shuangce did not infuse spiritual power to smooth out the bruises, nor did he remove any trace of pain. He just held it, gently rubbing the wrist with his thumb, his eyelashes drooping down, his expression was so focused that he couldn't help but feel frightened. After a long time, his fingertips suddenly pressed on the inside of Gong Wei's left wrist.
A faint golden light "Xu" flashed in an instant, and then disappeared under the skin.
It's a body replacement technique again!
"... Master?!"
"With this talisman, even if a sword pierces my chest, it will pierce my heart."
The chaotic aftertaste finally completely retreated from Xu Shuangce. He was silent for a moment under the lamp, and then smiled very slightly: "Maybe that day, all 'considerations' will finally be over."
In Gong Wei's perception, laughter represents happiness and joy, but for some reason he felt a sense of sadness when he saw the smile in Xu Shuangce's eyes. Originally, when he happily rushed to the Penglai Hall, he wanted to call Xu Bai himself, but at this moment, the unprovoked heaviness in the air suppressed the impulse.
"… there won't be that day," he said almost silently.
The ending sound was too light, Xu Shuangce asked, "What?"
There is only one Xu Bai in this world, and I will not let you have the day when a sword pierces your heart.
Gong Wei shook his head and didn't answer. He only carefully touched the place where the word "Xu" was engraved on his wrist, raised his eyes and shouted, "Master."
Xu Shuangce's warm hand slid down his cheek, and replied wearily, "My disciple."
