Daishan, Punishment Shu Palace.
With a loud bang, someone finally couldn't stand the tea cup, and said angrily: "Ying alliance leader was clearly plotted on the golden boat, why did you 'invite' all of us to Daishan in the middle of the night?!"
The side hall was full of more than 20 grandmasters, tall, short, fat, thin, men, women and children. Most of the patriarchs who could be counted by the Xianmeng were here, and a small half were on their way due to the might of the Sword Sect.
After waiting for the rafters who finally came out in the middle of the night, several disgruntled noble lords couldn't wait to echo: "I just got off, and suddenly the Young Master of Ye Jinmen came to the door to 'invite' to punish Shu Palace - I know. Knowing that something happened to the leader of the alliance, if you didn't know, you thought that the Xianmeng was attacking my house with open flames!" "I didn't say that, even if something happened to Ying Chenyuan, the Xianmeng couldn't detain me here as a prisoner, right? "That's right! Who knows what the hell they're up to! If someone takes the opportunity to kidnap the leader of the alliance and use me, it's possible!"…
The eldest grandson Chengfeng, who was sitting upright in the east, put down the tea cup for the third time tonight: "Cough cough!!"
However, there are only three things. Although the deterrent effect of the first and second time is remarkable, the third time is not so immediate. The buzzing discussion only stopped for a few breaths, and then it sounded intensified, and a patriarch whose age was known from the appearance stood up and slapped the table: "No, I must go out to see the leader immediately! Otherwise, in case of being kidnapped by some traitor , I'm not being used in vain?!"
He is one of the six great families, the venerable master of the Duan family, and his status is precious, and he was immediately approved by several people around him: "That's right!" "Let's go out!"
About four or five people got up at the same time and were about to go out. The posture was obviously to see if Ying Kai was dead. There was a lot of commotion around, and Changsun Chengfeng slapped the table and got up and was about to scold, when suddenly he heard—
boom!
The Divine Sword Rakshasa Pagoda was submerged into the floor tiles, and the ground was instantly cracked. A tall and straight figure in golden armor and brown robe stood in front of the door, exuding a forcing power, it was Jianzong.
The men of Yuchi's family are born with high eyebrows, especially Yuchi Changsheng's eyes are sharp, like a knife. Everyone shuddered under his gloomy and sharp gaze, and even the esteemed master of the sixth family subconsciously fell silent, and a chill rose from the spine.
He said coldly, "Whoever can pass this sword, please."
There was no response from the surroundings, and all the footsteps that were about to move secretly retreated to their seats.
At this moment, a shooting star suddenly burst open in the night sky, and through the wide hall gate behind Yuchi Changsheng, I saw that the shooting star was getting closer and bigger. The splendid tail light swooped towards the Punishment Shu Palace, and then boomed! A sound landed steadily in the ring of energy.
"Cang, Cangyang Sect Master!"
Everyone in the hall immediately woke up and quickly stood up. Seeing that the car door was wide open to both sides, Xu Shuangce strode down the steps, a thin young man in red clothes staggered after him, his left arm was tightly grasped in his hand.
Everyone hurriedly said, "Sect Master Xu!" "Meet Sect Master Xu!"…
Xu Shuangce couldn't see the slightest difference, and he was still the arrogant Cangyang Sect Master. He stood still, his eyes crossed Yuchi Changsheng's shoulder, and glanced over every respectful and frightened face in the hall, his eyes seemed to be ridiculed.
But unexpectedly, he didn't say a word, and didn't pay any attention to anyone present. Everyone saw him turning back to the young man and whispering: "Go to visit the leader of the alliance for the teacher, you wait here for a while."
-Whether it was his low and gentle tone or his self-proclaimed teacher, it was like throwing a heavy artillery on the head, which shocked everyone in the hall.
Gong Wei didn't dare to look at the shocked gazes from all directions, and nodded meekly, Xu Shuangce released his arm and patted his shoulder: "Go and play."
Yuchi Changsheng: "..."
Gong Wei: "…"
Xu Shuangce turned around in the sight of countless people around him, raised his temples and robe sleeves, and walked along the corridor to the inner hall of Punishment Palace.
After a long while, Yuchi Changsheng's eyes finally turned to Gong Wei, his face had always lacked expression, but at this moment, a big ignorant word was clearly written in his round eyes.
Gong Wei covered his face with one hand, and said weakly, "Le Sheng and Young Master Meng were seriously injured in the car, do you want to... invite someone to come take a look first?"
·
The door of the inner room was pushed open with a creak, and Mu Duozhu said sideways: "That's how things went. At present, I can still manage to control the three souls and seven souls, but I can't really find out the reason for the sudden shock of his primordial spirit. Nah... If it was really caused by someone's secret hand, the level of that person must have exceeded what I have studied and learned as a medical sect of the current world, which is really unimaginable."
Xu Shuangce stepped over the threshold and stopped.
Ying Kaiping lay on the bed, the blood from the seven orifices had been wiped away, but even in a coma, he frowned, as if he was suffering some kind of pain.
"Juzong consciously couldn't explain it clearly, he has already handed over many affairs in the sand sea rift valley to his disciples, and he came to the Immortal Alliance voluntarily as a pledge until the leader of the alliance wakes up and identifies the murderer." Mu Duozhu sighed: " But it's hard to say whether there is a murderer in this matter, and I can't do anything about it..."
"Understood." Xu Shuangce paused and said, "Go ahead and treat Liu Xuzhi as soon as possible."
Mu Duozhu shrugged, "I'll leave it to Sect Master Xu."
After saying that, he exited the house and gently closed the inner door.
With a soft click, only Ying Kai and Xu Shuangce were left unconscious in the inner room.
The ghosts that suddenly appeared on the Yanchun Terrace, the severely injured Le Sheng and his heirs, Ying Kai, who was suddenly in a coma with seven orifices bleeding, the corpse puppet who could leave at any time but had to wait until this moment to suddenly attack... All the incidents that happened one after another All point to the same answer.
In fact, clues have been revealed behind the scenes, but the most crucial truth is still missing a piece of the puzzle.
- Ying Kai's life and death are still pending, and now is not the time to look for that puzzle piece.
Xu Shuangce let out a sigh of relief and temporarily pressed down the boiling thoughts.
He first raised his hand and brushed his right arm, and the pierced wound healed with spiritual power, leaving only an inconspicuous scar on the surface of the skin at the bottom of the clothes; then he pressed his fingers together on Ying Kai. His brows were full of energy, and he tried to pour his spiritual power into it.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Ying Kai's eyelids trembled and opened suddenly!
Even Xu Shuangce was surprised, and before he had time to ask, he saw Ying Kai sat up regardless of the dizziness, his bloodshot eyes stared straight at him, and hoarsely said a word: "Xu—"
Xu
Xu Shuangce's brows twitched, and at that moment he clearly saw strangeness, hostility and fear in Ying Kai's eyes!
After a long silence in the room, Xu Shuangce finally hesitated: "… Ying Kai?"
As if he was suddenly awakened by this sound, Ying Kai snorted and closed his eyes tightly. After a few breaths, he opened his eyes and returned to normal. He let out a long mouthful of hot air with the smell of blood and rust, and said hoarsely: "Shuang... Shuangce ."
Xu Shuangce stared at him: "What happened to you?"
Ying Kai seemed to be in a very chaotic state, his eyes wandered in a trance, and after a while he said, "I seem to have had a dream, I—"
His voice stopped abruptly, and Xu Shuangce stared at him and asked, "What did you dream about?"
"… "
Ying Kai's Adam's apple slid obviously and swallowed.
"A lot of... a lot of blood, a lot of people died, and no one heard what I called. Then it became very hot, as if it had been scorched by karma for a long, long time." He looked up exhaustedly: "These are not Really, right?"
- A lot of blood, a lot of people died.
Could it be Liu Xu's most terrifying memory after endoscopic surgery, Shengxiantai!
Why would two people thousands of miles apart see it at the same time? !
Xu Shuangce's heart seemed to fall into some cold abyss, but there was nothing strange on his face. He met Ying Kai's gaze head-on, without showing the slightest suspicion inside, and calmly said, "Of course the dream can't be real."
"But… "
Xu Shuangce's tone was flat and unquestionable: "A dream is just a dream."
Ying Kai nodded subconsciously, pondered for a while, and finally sighed in relief: "You are right."
After a pause, he muttered to himself, "A dream is just a dream... I should listen to you."
No one saw that Xu Shuangce's nails under the sleeves of his robe were deeply incised into his fingertips.
Yes, they met as teenagers, traveled the world together, and became friends in life and death - as long as Xu Shuangce categorically denied it, how could Ying Kai not believe it
Ying Kai supported the corner of his forehead and said, "I fainted suddenly this time. I don't know if it was because of someone's plot or my own reasons. I also dreamed of some... some absurd sights."
He vaguely avoided what the "absurd scene" was, raised his head to look at Xu Shuangce, the strangeness and vigilance he had just woken up had completely disappeared, and the usual trust and familiarity between close friends had returned: "This matter is very strange, Do you have any clues, Shuangce?"
However, Xu Shuangce avoided his gaze, "Fahua Xianzun's body escaped, and there is a piece of soldier silk hidden in his heart."
Ying Kai instantly threw the last trace of entanglement about the dream to the sky: "What did you say?!"
As soon as he lifted the quilt, he turned over and rushed out, but Xu Shuangce moved faster and grabbed him: "Don't go out."
"Why?!"
What Ying Kai feared most in his life was the leakage of the secrets of the corpse, which would not only bring harm to the world, but also implicate the world's immortals. As soon as he struggled, he wanted to run out, but Xu Shuangce's grip on him was steady and unrelenting, and his voice was calm: "I have a clue about this matter, and it will be clear soon, but you need a little cooperation."
Ying Kai was stunned: "What do you match, what do you match?"
·
After half an hour, the door was pushed open.
The sluggish Liu Xuzhi was supported by the two disciples of the medical sect, and he personally sent Mu Duozhu out of the room. The damage to his soul left in the mirror technique made him feel a little fluttering when he spoke: "Brother Mu, hard work. It's really thanks to you for taking back a life. When he wakes up, he will definitely come to the door to thank him, and the great kindness and virtue can't be repaid..."
Mu Duozhu's face was tired: "Hanging the pot to help the world's doctors is benevolent, not to mention kindness."
Liu Xuzhi was immediately moved: "Brother Mu is really a role model for our generation!"
Mu Duozhu said modestly: "That's natural. Just pay the 20,000 consultation fee."
- pat!
Liu Xu's hand loosened, and the folding fan fell to the ground. After a long while, he said with difficulty: "...Why did it increase by 50% compared to last year?"
"What, fifty percent?"
"… "
Mu Duozhu was even more surprised than him: "Last year was silver and this year is gold, how come it only increased by 50%?"
With a loud thud, the disciples of the medical sect rushed up in horror: "Lord Lesheng!" "Lord Lesheng, how are you!"…
Mu Duo Zhu Si patted his sleeves, strutted, and walked away with his hands behind his back.
At this moment, the door of the inner hall at the end of the long corridor suddenly opened with a creak, and a figure in an ivory white robe stepped over the threshold, it was Xu Shuangce. Mu Duozhu's mind suddenly froze, and he didn't care about the diagnosis anymore. He quickly walked up to him and asked, "Brother Xu! How's the leader of the alliance?"
Even Le Sheng, who was awake, was looking for a reputation, but Xu Shuang shook his head strategically, and said calmly, "The primordial spirit is stable and has not awakened yet."
Mu Duozhu's expression changed suddenly: "Have you not woken up yet?"
According to the decree of the Immortal Alliance, if the leader of the alliance is plotted against him, before he wakes up and identifies the murderer, the respected lords of the famous families who are separated from each other cannot easily leave the Daishan Punishment Shu Palace. But for Mu Duozhu, this is not the point. The point is that even Sect Master Xu failed to rescue Ying Kai, so what can we do next? Should Ying Kai's life and death be left to fate
Xu Shuangce raised his chin in the direction of the far side hall, and asked lightly, "How did everyone react?"
Mu Duozhu frowned and said with a wry face: "Only Juzong is still conscious, the other female masters are reasonable, and the rest of the pampered old men are more or less uncooperative. Several of the loudest clamor are all relying on the sword sect. "
"Notify Jianzong that everyone is not allowed to leave the Punishment Palace for half a step, and those who violate the rules will be dealt with as suspects."
Mu Duozhu hurriedly agreed, only to see Xu Shuangce turning around and walking straight out, hurriedly chasing after him: "Where is Brother Xu? Me too—"
Xu Shuangce glanced back at him, his dark eyes seemed to be covered with frost, and Mu Duozhu immediately stopped like lightning.
"Brother Mu, I'm going to find my beloved disciple, can you also find my beloved disciple?"
"… "
Mu Duo Zhu Ping's voice was calm, and he watched Xu Shuangce walk away along the bluestone corridor with his hands behind his back.
·
Although Gong Wei was allowed to play casually, he actually had nowhere to go. Liu Xuzhi and Meng Yunfei were hurriedly carried away and rescued by the disciples of the medical sect. Yuchi Rui wanted to stay in the side hall to guard the noble lords of the noble family. He was left alone to worry about Ying Kai, but he couldn't help. Busy, wanting to find a place to rest, but full of thoughts, so I simply got up and strolled around in the dark.
Walking along the familiar corridor trestle of the Punishment Palace, he looked up after a while, and a vast building appeared under the moonlit night in the distance, and he came to the Punishment Court.
Gong Weiman had countless chaotic thoughts in his heart, but he suddenly forgot about it at this moment, and just stared blankly at the extremely familiar crimson door, feeling lost and wondering what it was like.
After a long time, he finally stepped up the stairs and gently opened the door.
The Punishment and Punishment Court was abandoned after his death, the flower arch was quiet and lonely, and the huge courtyard was empty. The snow-white peach blossoms rustled under the moon and fell all over the courtyard. Gong Wei walked along the empty houses. The moonlight stretched his figure, as if a ghost passed through a tree by the promenade. A bluestone pillar.
It was thought that Ying Kai had people regularly sweeping, and the wind chime that he had played with countless times was still hanging quietly under the eaves, and the silver surface was still bright, reflecting the cold moonlight. However, Gong Wei reached out and shook it on tiptoe, but found that it would no longer beep. Looking closely, he didn't know where the problem was, maybe it was because the inner machine was broken.
After all, it has been sixteen years, too long.
He sighed wistfully, and was about to turn around to leave, but suddenly a cold white sandalwood came from behind him.
Immediately afterwards, a pair of hands crossed the side of his neck, held the string of wind chimes, and pushed a small sheet out of the gap of one of the silver bells, and the crisp sound suddenly swayed.
"It's stuck." Xu Shuangce's calm voice sounded behind him, "You have to dial out every time."
"Master... Master?"
Xu Shuangce's brows were like carvings, and he looked like an immortal under the moon, quietly looking at the silver wind chimes.
Gong Wei knew that he couldn't explain why he came here, but unexpectedly, Xu Shuangce didn't ask anything. The bell gradually quieted down, Gong Wei finally couldn't help but coughed implicitly, and changed the subject casually: "Why did the master come so soon, the leader of the alliance... Is the leader of the alliance safe?"
"No."
"what?"
Gong Wei's heart was raised, and Xu Shuangce's eyes left the wind chime and glanced at him: "Wake up. Don't tell anyone."
Gong Wei asked suspiciously, "Why?"
Xu Shuangce did not answer this question, turned around and walked down the steps of the corridor, Gong Wei involuntarily followed.
The courtyard is like standing water and empty, with bamboo shadows swaying slightly. It's too quiet here, the moonlight covers the old houses like a blue gauze, the corridors are so deep that you can't see the end.
The corners of Xu Shuangce's robe brushed across the wide bluestone steps, stood still in the courtyard, and suddenly stretched out his hands.
"… "
Gong Wei hesitated for a moment, and then handed his left hand to the open palm, and was immediately grasped by Xu Shuangce's cold and powerful fingers, pulled forward half a step, and stood beside him.
The two of them stood side by side under the moon like this. Xu Shuangce's fingertips rubbed the pale golden word "Xu" on the inside of his wrist, and asked without warning for a long time, "Do you know where this is?"
"—Punishment Court." Before Gong Wei could answer, he whispered again: "After Fahua Xianzun died, I came here often."
Gong Wei couldn't help but move slightly in his heart, and turned his head to look at the string of wind chimes hanging quietly under the eaves.
Immediately afterwards, as if sensing his gaze, the silver bell actually rose automatically without wind, making a crisp ding ding ding sound. The sound of footsteps came from the void, and a young man in a dark red robe galloped from the depths of the corridor, two small gold coins on his waist rattled, and the attendant's scream came from nowhere: "Xianzun! Xianzun, don't fall!"
It's backtracking.
In the places where the deceased often moved and stopped during his lifetime, if he left a strong emotional imprint, there is a small possibility that the scene of that day can be reproduced through retrospective spells.
Gong Wei looked back at Xu Shuangce, but saw Xu Shuangce staring intently at the young Immortal Venerable under the corridor, his face was calm, and his eyes seemed to be flickering with a gleam of softness and sadness.
"Why doesn't Xu Bai come to see me," Gong Wei heard himself say in his previous life, sitting by the railing with his chin up, two fingers tapped the wind chime to make it squeak.
The footsteps of the attendant came closer, but because there was no strong emotional fluctuation, he could not leave his figure in the backtracking technique, and only heard the voice of persuasion, saying, "Xianzun..."
- Sect Master Cangyang will not come, everyone knows it well. The brief but fierce dispute in the study of Punishment Palace that day had spread throughout the Xianmeng. On the day of the establishment of the Punishment and Punishment Institute, all the famous families sent congratulations, but the Cangyang Sect did not move at all, and Sect Master Xu did not even show his face.
Xu Shuangce had already broken with him.
The whole world knows, except Gong Zhengyu himself.
The young man held his cheeks in his thin white hands, and his black and white eyes reflected a crescent moon passing through the sky. He finally made up his mind and jumped lightly from the railing.
"Xu Bai must be too busy." He happily said, "I'll go find him!"
The night wind rolled the peach petals across the atrium, the figure of Fahua Xianzun whizzed away, and the scene in the retrospect changed quietly.
A mass of Feiyun swept across the wall of the Punishment Court and fell silently to the ground. The thief-like young man also looked vigilantly to the left and right, making sure that there was no one around before exhaling and brushing the scattered sideburns behind his ears: "The Cangyang Sect doesn't allow me to go up the mountain, so stingy!"
With a flick of his hand, he pulled down a silvery scroll from the air, with half a letter written on it, and he drew another stroke with his fingers, saying to himself, "I didn't see you today. It's Xu Bai's day, and I'll go tomorrow."
"Xu Bai didn't play with me today. He said he was busy, what did he mean?"
"I was kicked out by that little bastard Wen Xiuyang today! Too much!"
"I entered Xuanji Hall today, but Xu Bai was not there... Why is he not here so late?"
…
More and more orthographic characters are added less frequently. More often, the young man is surrounded by a group of monks and disciples, coming and walking in a lively manner; occasionally he will sit alone under the moon, his thin silhouette is elongated, and as the stars move from west to east.
"Today is also a day when I won't see Xu Bai," he said softly, holding his chin.
Finally one day, when Fahua Xianzun turned over from the wall, his face was frozen blue, a clear wound was scratched by the helpless sword qi under his right eye, and the dried blood coagulated on his cheek was particularly shocking. He quickly cast a blood-warming spell on himself, holding his arms and shaking for a long time before he managed to warm up: "—Cangyang Mountain's Ice Prison is really well-deserved, fortunately I slipped fast!"
Under the moonlight, his robe was crooked, and his black hair was halfway down, looking a little embarrassed. For the countless times he pulled the scroll out of the air, just as his fingertips were about to drop a stroke again, his fingers that were cracked by the frost stopped in the air again, and a large number of dense orthographic characters were reflected in his eyes.
After a long time, he finally thought of something, sighed hoarsely, and said to himself: "...Xu Bai really doesn't want to see me."
"What do I mean by that?"
He waved his hand in desperation, and walked towards the dormitory, no longer looking back, the silver light from the scroll behind him completely dissipated in the air.
The scroll full of straight characters has never been seen again.
Since that night, the appearance and size of the Fahua Immortal Venerable have undergone subtle changes. He began to grow taller, gradually broke away from the category of teenagers, and had some temperament between teenagers and youth; he was still lively and lively, but his eyebrows and eyes no longer escaped childishness, as if time had finally settled on him. A hint of stability and depression.
Time flies, and the stars move.
In the courtyard where people come and go, the four seasons alternate, gradually returning to the void, and the silence is silent.
Fahua Xianzun was leaning against the bluestone table under the peach tree, his robe was draped over his shoulders, and the bandages under his left shoulder were faintly bleeding. He had just returned from beheading monsters in the far north. His blood had not faded, and his face was still tired. The peach wine in the glass had been spilled diagonally, and his slender fingers were soaked in the wine, reflecting a faint Cold moonlight.
Gong Wei suddenly felt that his wrist was tightly grasped. He turned his head to look, and saw Xu Shuangce pinching his fingers so hard that he trembled slightly, staring at the figure reclining under the moon in the courtyard.
"Alas—" The figure sighed deeply, even though it dissipated in the swirling peach petals as soon as it exited.
"I miss Xu Bai."
Xu Shuangce raised his head to the sky, closed his eyes and said nothing.
In the retrospective realm, the Fahua Immortal Venerable seventeen years ago drank the cold wine and stumbled to his feet. His robe sleeves brushed the red residue on the ground and gradually disappeared into the depths of the corridor.
·
The night is as cold as water, and all sounds are silent.
Gong Wei stood there in a daze, an unfamiliar and huge sadness flooded his heart.
He didn't know where this feeling came from or why, so he could only look up at Xu Shuangce blankly. The silhouette of the number one person in the world was stiff and cold under the moonlight, and the bridge of his nose covered a shadow on his cheeks. I don't know why I closed my eyes so hard.
The backtracking realm rustled away, and that silhouette never appeared again.
After a long time, Xu Shuangce finally moved, opened his eyes and slowly lowered his head, staring at Gong Wei.
"… "
Looking at each other, Gong Wei suddenly had a strange impulse and wanted to shout Xu Bai.
He felt that it didn't matter even if he was discovered, Xu Shuangce might not be happy, but... but he wouldn't kill him. This stupid and absurd self-confidence somehow filled his chest, and even made him suddenly open his mouth, and the familiar name almost blurted out—
Xu Bai, why do you know that the pick of the wind chime is stuck
Did you miss me
You... do you still hate me
"..." Gong Wei stared at the dark eyes in front of him for a long time, his throat finally moved, and he looked away hastily.
"Master." He heard his suppressed voice softly say.
The five fingers grasping his wrist seemed to tighten even more, Xu Shuangce's eyes were frighteningly bright, and his thin lips were tightly pressed into a line, as if he was holding back something. They stood side by side like this, and it seemed like a long time had passed, but it seemed like a short moment, Xu Shuangce finally retracted his gaze, and let out a deep breath of hot air that smelled of blood and rust.
He responded in a low voice and said, "Let's go."
Gong Wei felt that his restrained wrist was loosened, but he did not let go. Xu Shuangce just held his hand like this, walked through the quiet and empty courtyard, and walked towards the dark red gate in the middle of the night.
At this moment, Gong Wei suddenly caught a glimpse of something out of the corner of his eye, and suddenly stood still and looked away.
Xu Shuangce also stopped and followed his line of sight to the depths of the courtyard. I saw that it was a row of houses with white walls and black tiles, which should be the temporary residence of the children of the aristocratic families who were sent to the punishment and punishment hospital. The pale glimmer of the retrospective spell has not yet dissipated. All the doors and windows were closed in the middle of the night seventeen years ago, except for one window that revealed a pale, handsome but sinister face.
Xu Shuangce's expression changed slightly.
That is the degree of Kai Xun.
He leaves too hastily every time, this is the first time he has noticed this detail in the distance.
Gong Wei turned his head to look at him, meaning that he was very curious and wanted to take a look. Xu Shuangce led him down, shrinking into an inch and approaching instantly. Through the carved lattice windows, I saw that the room was clean and simple, with nothing but a couch. Seventeen years ago, Du Kaixun stood upright in front of the window, staring at the cold white moon outside the window, his eyes seemed to be hooked, like a dark stone statue in a cold place.
Gong Wei leaned on tiptoe on the window lattice, looked at him, and said softly, "Huh?" "What is he doing?"
The conditions for the generation of the retrospective environment are very harsh, and it must appear on the spot and leave a strong emotional imprint before it can be captured and recorded. The reason why Fahua Xianzun left so many afterimages is because of his childish nature, no matter what emotions he has, he is very strong, but what about Du Kaixun
Is he just in a daze
Xu Shuangce looked at him up and down, his heart moved suddenly, and he sensed a trace of familiarity from this unusual expression.
This seems to be detached from reality and from the surrounding world, as if he is "seeing" and "listening" to the invisible scene in mid-air. He has also seen it from another person - Gong Wei.
When Gong Wei was young, he often stopped suddenly, in a daze, exactly the same as Du Kaixun at the moment!
At this moment, Du Kaixun's state suddenly changed, and the whole person seemed to have woken up from a dream, staggered back a few steps and bent down. He put his hands on his knees and breathed heavily, his whole body began to tremble involuntarily, and it took him a long time to squeeze out a few words from the trembling:
"Why...why is this..."
What did he see
Xu Shuangce frowned, and after a while, he heard a clear "cluck" sound in the room. It was actually bursting from the gap between his teeth. It was piercing and full of hatred: "It doesn't belong to me..."
He raised his head inch by inch, and his face was extremely distorted. In the shadows, only the corners of his eyes flickered with cold light, and he gritted his teeth every word:
"Let it shatter if it no longer belongs to me, let it shatter into blood!"
With the last word, his spiritual power shattered his fingertips, and he used blood to draw a rare and complicated spell in the air!
Xu Shuangce pulled Gong Wei half a step back, raising his hand to block in front of him.
But I don't know why the spell did not light up after dipping it in blood, Du Kaixun clenched his teeth even tighter, more blood poured out of his fingertips, and he drew the dragon and snake eight or nine times in one go, but it didn't light up!
Gong Wei was surprised: "What is that?"
This spell is so unpopular and weird that even Xu Shuangce has never seen it in any Taoist scriptures, and he has no idea where Du Kaixun learned it from. I saw him move faster and faster, and his expression became more and more sinister, just like a trapped beast that devoured people madly. The blood left criss-crossing light marks in the air, but they were all fleeting, no matter how angry he was. Insanity is useless!
bang!
Du Kaixun knelt heavily and hit the ground with a punch, his phalanx cracked, leaving four clear blood marks.
Unwillingness and despair engulfed him to the top like a black tide, causing his brain to tear apart and his ears roaring like thunder. He stared at the ground below his knees, his eyes slashed and his whole body fought, and a drop of blood mixed with tears fell on the cracked floor.
- At this moment, in the air above his head, the talisman finally lit up.
The blood-red curse was reflected in Xu Shuangce Gongwei's eyes at the same time. The evil spirits had bad intentions, and after a few breaths, they gradually disappeared, as if they had never appeared before.
But Du Kaixun, who lowered his head, was unaware.
He pressed his forehead against the floor, and it took a long time for his trembling body to calm down. It seemed that the boiling sea was finally covered by a more desolate and dark despair. His bloody hands clenched fists against his ears and slowly released them. .
"My..." he mumbled sadly.
"… its mine… "
The whimper finally seeped out of the air like breaking ice. He didn't raise his head for a long time, until the gleam of the retrospective realm gradually faded, and the afterimage of seventeen years ago also disappeared, the cold moon hung high in the sky, and the old house was restored. Empty and quiet.
"… "
The retrospective spell disappeared completely, and they returned to the real Punishment Court.
The wind rustled over the treetops, and the wind chimes under the eaves in the distance jingled. The two of them stood side by side in front of the row of houses, Gong Wei seemed to be still immersed in the scene just now, and it took a while to come back to his senses: "What do you mean?"
Xu Shuangce faintly felt as if something was about to come out, but at the moment there were so many thoughts and he couldn't figure it out. After pondering for a while, he pulled Gongwei's hand: "Go back first. You need to see Liu Xuzhi, the Tianmen Gate is closed. Still need him."
Gong Wei was pulled two steps away by him, but he kept looking back. The old hut stood quietly in the dark night. The blood, tears and curses of resentment seventeen years ago seemed to be a fleeting moment. The fleeting dream was lost in time before waking up, and even the main lord never knew it.
"What's broken?" Gong Wei couldn't help but wonder as he walked, "Is it broken?"
Xu Shuangce said, "The curse has already worked, so it must be broken."
Gong Wei asked, "Then if something is broken, why no one finds it?"
"Maybe because..."
Xu Shuangce's answer suddenly stopped with his footsteps.
Why is something broken but never found
Naturally because someone patched it up before it was discovered.
Dingxian Mausoleum, Banchun Terrace, Tianmen Pass, the ghost repair who suddenly appeared in Penglai Hall, the puppet of the Fahua Immortal Venerable who lifted the coffin, the giant of the world-destroying organ buried deep in the center of the earth...
The last piece of the puzzle finally closed with a bang, and the treacherous pieces were strung together at this moment. The key to the mastermind behind the scenes was the sentence seventeen years ago—
"If it doesn't belong to me, let it be broken into blood mud"!
"Master?" Gong Wei asked suspiciously.
"… "
Xu Shuangce suddenly said softly, "I know what's going on behind the scenes."
