The overlapping doors were closed layer by layer, Xu Shuangce hurried forward, bent over to pick up Gong Wei's body from the ground, hugged it horizontally in his arms, and went straight into the inner room and placed it on the large bed.
Gong Wei was still twitching slightly, his vision was blurred, and blood seeped between his teeth.
Xu Shuangce looked into his sea of anger, and his expression darkened.
In just a short while, Gong Wei's whole body's spiritual power seemed to be sucked away, and there was no trace of it. Xu Shuangce pressed his fingers between his eyebrows and poured in a little spiritual power, but Gong Wei didn't even respond, no matter how much power was poured in, it disappeared instantly.
There seems to be a huge void in the depths of his air, which is rapidly consuming the spiritual power and even life of this body, and it cannot be filled no matter what.
"...Xu Bai..."
Xu Shuangce asked in a low voice, "What happened just now?"
Gong Wei shivered and stretched out his hand to him. Although his eyes were open, he seemed to be immersed in some distant dream, and called out hoarsely, "Xu Bai..."
Xu Shuangce grabbed the cold hand and whispered, "Yes."
But Gong Wei didn't seem satisfied, and tried his best to prop up his upper body and put it in his arms, making an eager murmur. Xu Shuangce originally took him in his arms with one arm, so he let go of the other hand that was holding him tightly, and instead embraced him whole in his arms, and whispered: "Don't be afraid, it's okay, don't be. afraid… "
In a flash of lightning, his left heart suddenly became cold, and blood spurted out immediately.
"..." Xu Shuangce suddenly released his hand, and two words burst out between his teeth: "Gong Wei..."
He firmly grasped Gong Wei's wrist, preventing the sharp fingertips from digging in, and at the same time his upper body slowly stepped back.
I saw that Gong Wei's fingertips had sunk into the flesh at his left heart, leaving a large bloodstain on the robe of Sect Master Cangyang.
The goal that was so close at hand could not be achieved, Gong Wei let out an unbearable whimper and tried to move forward more and more. His whole body was no longer awake, only Xu Shuangce's blood could give a strong stimulus, which made him straighten his eyes and stare at him, completely ignoring his hoarse and hot breathing.
Incantation-like verses rumbled over and over again in the primordial spirit of chaos, drowning all the senses like thunder—the situation was powerless, and the gods were helpless.
Only kill Xu Yitu.
Only by killing Xu Yitu—
Xu Shuangce's voice contained spiritual power, like a daigo: "Gong Wei!"
With a clear and crisp sound, Gong Wei unexpectedly twisted the wrist bone he was holding!
Xu Shuangce was shocked and let go like lightning. Gong Wei immediately stumbled to the bed, like a controlled puppet pounced on him, his straight pupils only stared at the bloodstain on Xu Shuangce's chest, and he waved his hands straight to his heart, dozens of strokes passed in an instant!
Gong Wei has no spiritual power, this body is already weak to the extreme, but there is a kind of ruthlessness that is on the verge of desperation. Xu Shuangce did not fight head-on, and retreated several feet while blocking, Gong Wei banged open the whalebone screen door in the inner room, and his blood-stained fingertips were close to him—
Xu Shuangce's back pressed against the wall.
If he dodged and avoided, Gong Wei would not be able to hold back his strength, and forcibly holding back would definitely hurt himself.
At the critical moment, Xu Shuangce made up his mind, grabbed Gong Wei's fingertips that were forced to the door at the peak of the moment, and used a powerful softness to remove his front. Block him by the waist!
Everything happened in the blink of an eye, Gong Wei leaned forward due to inertia, full of murderous intent, but the bottom of his eyes suddenly reflected the careful winding of the hair on the middle finger of Xu Shuangce's right hand.
I saw that the long hair was finally unbearable to fight, it loosened silently, and slowly floated to the ground.
"… "
Gong Wei woke up like a dream, and his dull pupils finally showed a hint of clarity. He broke free from Xu Shuangce and took a few steps back, and then half-kneeled on the ground in the tumult of the world.
Just as Xu Shuangce was about to rush forward, he saw him trembling and waved his hand to signal not to approach. He closed his eyes and forced himself to calm down and said, "...you go quickly."
Xu Shuangce didn't move: "Gong Wei?"
"Come on, I won't be able to control it later." Gong Wei dug into the jade floor tile with one hand, blood flowing from his fingers, and his throat trembled when he spoke: "I don't want to kill you, but that... that voice …”
Xu Shuangce did not leave, but stepped forward and knelt on one knee and half-kneeled beside him, half-forced to grab the hand he was supporting on the ground, flicking the scarred fingers, the large and small small cuts healed naturally and melted away. Made light scars.
He held that cold, trembling hand in his palm, so Gong Wei's weight couldn't help leaning over half of his body, and he was firmly supported by him: "Who told you to kill me?"
Gong Wei panted and shook his head, and suddenly whispered, "Xu Bai, I'm not human."
He had said the same thing in the bed the day before yesterday, but it was more of a squeamish complaint, not as quiet and clear as it is now.
He said: "I am a 'mind' between heaven and earth, and I was born to achieve a certain purpose. I have to do what heaven and earth ask me to do, and if heaven and earth let me kill you, I have to kill you. Remember that Was I born in the Peach Blossom Forest in Cangyang Mountain in 2000? If the person who picked me up was not Ying Kai but you, maybe you would have already died."
With just these words, Gong Wei couldn't control his mind several times, his whole body was tense, and he wanted to shoot at Xu Shuangce's heart, but he was forcibly suppressed by himself.
"Sixteen years ago, when you ascended to Immortal Stage, I actually knew in my heart that it would be difficult to succeed. You are too strong and sensitive. But the soul and primordial spirit have been urging me, and everything in the world is urging me. I have no choice... , as it is now."
Gong Wei closed his eyes, shook his head, and said sternly, "It would be nice if you still hated me like you did in your previous life. At least when I start, I can feel less sad."
"..." Xu Shuangce asked hoarsely, "What will happen to you after I die?"
Gong Wei was silent for a moment and said, "I don't know, maybe it will return to the world."
It was as if a steel needle had pierced Xu Shuangce's heart.
Gong Wei doesn't seem to be born with the word sad, he is always so romantic, cunning, relaxed, kind to everyone around him, and everyone likes him very much.
But those likes from others bring Gong Wei joy, liveliness, and flowers. Only the "like" from Xu Shuangce will only bring him helpless sadness and sadness.
At that moment, Xu Shuangce even had an impulse in his heart, thinking that he would just let him do it. The two cuddled with each other in a pool of blood, and together they turned into ashes between the heavens and the earth. From now on, there will be no distinction between you and me, and it is better than hurting each other and being disheartened.
But the words that opened the sky in the abyss of Tianmenguan tightly restrained his mind like a bowstring, making him not dare to let go of the last trace of reason.
"Gong Wei," Xu Shuangce stared at his pale profile, and finally asked the sentence: "Have you ever thought that this world is just an illusion created by yourself?"
Gong Wei's divine light was scattered, and it seemed that it took a while to understand what he was talking about: "...Illusion?"
"Impossible. Why do I want to do this illusion? It's impossible for such a big illusion to exist in this world." Gong Wei's cold and white face was soaked with sweat, and in the shadows, his lips were trembling, and he looked a little nervous: "The pupil technique is limited to the sight, and the mirror technique is limited to the light, unless it is... unless it is... "
Xu Shuangce suddenly had some kind of premonition, and saw Gong Wei's thin muscles tightening to the limit, and even trembling violently, he said incoherently, "Unless...unless...it's a dream."
-Dream.
As soon as the word was uttered, Gong Wei's whole body fell silent, staring straight ahead like a lifeless ice sculpture.
"Dreams die and butterflies are born, and dreams come to an end." The curse-like verses echoed from the depths of the primordial spirit, like bells getting louder and louder, until they were deafening: "Dream to death, dream to die to live—"
Kill Xu Shuangce.
Xu Shuangce must be killed—
Xu Shuangce felt something keenly: "Gong Wei?"
As soon as the words fell, Gong Wei suddenly broke free from his palm, and was once again controlled by the boiling killing intent in his instinct, even ignoring his weakened body: "Prefect Bai!"
A Morihan sword qi flew from the inner room, was held in Gong Wei's palm, clanged out of the sheath, and slashed at the head with a sword.
However, Xu Shuangce moved faster, and he had no choice but to call out his split hands. Even the sword with a sheath heavily blocked the sword edge of Bai Taishou. He did not use spiritual power at all. He surpassed Gong Wei's more than ten moves purely with sword skills, and struck the opponent at the hilt of the sword like lightning. pry!
Dang!
Gong Wei dropped his sword, and Xu Shuangce threw it reluctantly. At the critical moment, he sent Taishou Bai flying, and the two swords flew and fell several feet away.
Immediately afterward, he picked up Gong Wei, hurried to the inner room, put the person on the bed, pressed Gong Wei with one hand to prevent him from struggling, and pressed the other hand with three fingers together, using spiritual power to force out the blood from the fingertips, and quickly entered the palace. However, spells were written on the wrists, ankles, and bedposts on both sides. The imprisoning talisman dipped in blood burst out with extremely strong power almost immediately, and it moved as if it had life. It locked Gong Wei firmly on the bed in circles, and immediately made him unable to move.
"Xu..." Gong Wei shivered in a hurry, his mind was awake and blurred: "Xu Bai..."
Xu Shuangce put his hand on his eyebrows and wanted to input his spiritual power, but he tried his best to turn his head to avoid him: "Why don't you kill me, Xu Bai. I really can't do anything, so just kill me..."
Xu Shuangce pressed him hard, pressing his forehead against his sweaty forehead: "It's okay, don't be afraid."
Gong Wei said hoarsely: "I seem to be having a nightmare, and I can't wake up no matter what..."
"Don't be afraid." Xu Shuangce said in a low voice, unmoved, "There must be a way."
Gong Wei's thin body was still trembling, but Xu Shuangce hugged him tightly. After an unknown amount of time, the convulsions and struggles finally stopped, and Gong Wei fell asleep exhausted.
Xu Shuangce exhaled, when a dull voice came from the air outside the hall: Boom—
He looked up suddenly.
The huge collapse sound resounded in the sky:
Boom! !
"Sect Master!" Wen Xiuyang came hurriedly outside the hall, his voice changed in a rare tone: "The sky above Cangyang Mountain has collapsed!"
The gates of the hall slammed open, Xu Shuangce strode out, and Yu Jian went straight into the sky.
I saw that north of Cangyang Mountain, the sky was like an egg being knocked out of a hole, and a black hole suddenly collapsed. The entrance of the cave is about a hundred feet square, and the inside is bottomless, and the extremely cold wind is sweeping from the cave to the earth.
"Junior brother, what's wrong?!" "Junior sister! Little junior sister!" "Quick, come and save people!"
On the ground in the distance, the Cangyang Sect was in chaos everywhere. Several young outer sect disciples were blown by the wind blowing out of the black hole, and they didn't even have time to cry, and the whole person suddenly turned into crimson petals.
The brothers and sisters who rushed to rescue were caught off guard, and were also blown away by the gloomy wind. They thought their lives were over, but they were shocked to find that they were still standing still.
The survivors had not had time to rejoice, and even louder exclamations sounded from all directions—more little disciples exploded into balls of peach blossoms, countless crimson peach snows flashed with the shimmer of spiritual power, swirling up to the sky in the wind, It was sucked into the black hole high in the sky and disappeared.
"Sect Master!" Wen Xiuyang came with his sword, looking panicked but tried his best to suppress: "The thirty-six real people have formed a formation, with sufficient spiritual power, they can cooperate with the sect master to repair the sky at any time!"
Xu Shuangce interrupted him: "How do mortals mend the sky?"
Wen Xiuyang was startled, and was speechless on the spot.
Seeing Xu Shuangce standing on the Sword of Helplessness with his hands behind his back, his eyes were dark as he looked at the young disciples who turned into peach petals one after another and flew away, and suddenly asked, "These people who disappeared are not even sixteen years old, aren't they? "
Wen Xiuyang was at a loss: "Disciple... I don't have much contact with the outer sect, but I bumped into a few on the way just now, and they all described as young, probably no more than sixteen years old..."
Xu Shuangce whispered, "Sure enough."
Sure enough
Wen Xiuyang also reacted, and saw Xu Shuangce walking away, completely ignoring the deep black hole in the sky above his head, Yu Jian fell straight to the ground, and his footsteps kept crossing the threshold of the forbidden hall.
Wen Xiuyang was stunned: "Sect Master?!"
Xu Shuangce went straight through the outer room and entered the inner room. Gong Weishang fell asleep on the couch, his face was gray and his brows were frowning, and it seemed that he was still enduring unknown pain in a coma. Xu Shuangce pressed his two fingers on the sea of anger between his brows, and quickly poured in the majestic and pure spiritual power, like the rising tide of the raging sea, surging straight to the primordial spirit!
Changed to any sect master, it would not be able to withstand such a huge amount of consumption, but Xu Shuangce did not stop at all. In the beginning, it was like a mud cow entering the sea. No matter how much spiritual power was poured into it, it disappeared without a trace. ripples.
"Make up, make up!"
"Heaven made up for it!"
…
There were shouts one after another from outside the hall, and under the watchful eyes of the public, the black hole in the sky began to "heal" by itself, and finally disappeared, and the strange and deadly cool wind gradually subsided.
Some people were still in shock, some wept with joy, and some were still looking for the younger brothers and sisters who disappeared out of thin air... Xu Shuangce finally regained his consciousness and flicked his sleeves wearily.
On the large bed, Gong Wei seemed to have finally gotten rid of the nightmare temporarily, his breathing was smooth and thin, and his long eyelashes were as black as crow feathers.
Xu Shuangce stared at him, and a hoarse voice from the depths of the abyss sounded in his ears:
"This gigantic illusion has begun to slip out of control. No one knows how long it will last, but the mana that sustains it is being depleted..."
After running out of time, what will happen
The sky collapsed, the earth cracked, and everyone returned to the world in the torrent of destruction
The time frozen in the present world began to flow again, and Gong Wei on the Ascension Platform was struck by his sword in desperation
"You won't die." Xu Shuangce stared at Gong Wei's calm face, and said softly, "If you die, I will clear the ghost walls, overturn the hell, and bring you back. ."
He leaned down and placed a kiss on the cold and white eyebrows. He remembered Gong Wei's words again in his mind - pupil technique is limited by eyesight, mirror technique is limited by light and shadow, unless it is...
unless it's a dream.
A few fragmentary pictures flashed in the depths of my memory, gradually becoming clear, Xu Shuangce pressed the sharply shaped eyebrows.
When the head of punishment and punishment and Sect Master Cangyang were tit-for-tat, there was indeed a dialogue between them about the "dreamland". But it's been too long, and it's as secret as each other's feelings, and no third person has known it for many years.
"—You know, Xu Bai." That evening, in the deep corner of the Cangyang Sect's library, the corner of the palace principal's lips gently touched his ear, and he said with a smile, "If I saw a butterfly during the day, that day I will dream of you at night."
The author has something to say:
Ying Kai: "Let's be honest, Xu Shuangce, even after fighting with me for hundreds of beckons, the hair didn't fall out. In fact, you only wanted to protect that hair when you were fighting, right?"
