"Xiao Fuxuan—" Wu Xingxue's voice was dry, and suddenly paused, "Isn't that so bad?"
"The interrogation is aimed at demons, you are aimed at yourself?" His lips were pale, but his expression sank.
The big and small demons in Zhaoye City once said that the city lord would smile when he was angry, if he didn't even have the slightest smile, then he wouldn't dare to get close.
But Xiao Fuxuan did not retreat at all.
He raised his hand to press Wu Xingxue's eyebrows, and said, "Don't frown."
Wu Xingxue still wanted to speak.
Xiao Fuxuan said in a deep voice: "When I went to Zhaoye City to look for you, you often frowned."
Wu Xingxue: "..."
The fairy and the devil were separated in those years, and he didn't want the nature of the devil to be revealed in front of Xiao Fuxuan's eyes. They often say some ironic words with a look of disgust, trying to provoke the other party to leave.
Now when he mentions it again, he thinks of Xiao Fuxuan standing alone outside Zhaoye City.
Distressed and soft-hearted instantly gained the upper hand, and he couldn't get angry any longer.
But the devil is not reconciled.
He pursed his lips and looked at Xiao Fuxuan, trying to keep his face sullen and ask a few more questions. In the end, the kiss between the eyebrows and the tail of the eyes soon became unstoppable.
"You don't want to block it every time you hit a no." Wu Xingxue said, "It doesn't work."
Xiao Fuxuan let out a deep "hmm", he stepped aside a little bit, lowered his eyes and said in a low voice, "But your eyes are narrowed, Wu Xingxue."
Wu Xingxue: "..."
"That's because of itching!" His voice was still tight, but he couldn't keep going. I had no choice but to close my eyes for a while, and stretched out my hand again to explore Xiao Fuxuan's major acupuncture points.
Hearing that the other party questioned him, when he touched Xiao Fuxuan's heart and neck with his fingertips, he was almost cautious.
His vigor was extremely cold, and his fingers were icy and cold. It was a bit noisy to tap everywhere, so Xiao Fuxuan held his wrist in a short while.
Tian Su said: "Didn't you visit it just now?"
"I was in a hurry just now, so don't worry." Wu Xingxue said, "You also said that the interrogation is to make the interrogator despair, fear, and pain. How could the powerful long sword be nailed down without wear and tear? Leave traces."
He changed his hand to press and pressed again, and muttered: "Did you do some tricks to hide the old injury?"
Xiao Fuxuan: "No."
Wu Xingxue asked suspiciously, "When?"
Xiao Fuxuan: "Yes."
Wu Xingxue: "I don't believe it."
Xiao Fuxuan: "..."
Wu Xingxue: "Don't talk, you have no reputation here."
He searched while talking, this time he was extremely careful, but still did not find any obvious traces. Just as he was wondering, he heard Xiao Fuxuan still say: "Didn't you read Ming Wuhua's interrogation?"
Wu Xingxue was taken aback.
In Huaxin's interrogation, there are events that happened twenty-five years ago. In the scene of Huaxin, Xiao Fuxuan did not seem to be a child who was wounded and severely injured when he rushed back to Xiandu.
But the scenes during the cross-examination always flashed by, not very clear, and it was difficult to draw conclusions.
Xiao Fuxuan could see the changes in Wu Xingxue's expression, and Xiao Fuxuan was silent for a moment, then said in a gentle voice with some helplessness: "I'll tell you."
Wu Xingxue: "Not at all?"
"Not at all."
"swear?"
"Um."
In fact, Xiao Fuxuan didn't intend to talk about the details at first, at least not at this moment.
His personality has always been like this, and he always talks in a few words when he talks about things. He often only has the beginning and the end, and all the parts about injuries and sufferings are omitted in the middle, so as not to cause fear and worry later.
But he found that this was always unworkable in front of Wu Xingxue. All the things he omitted will one day be noticed by the other party, and they will be completed bit by bit.
Everything related to him seems destined to be under the light of day, nothing is missed, and nothing is missing.
"After the interrogation that day, there was indeed some damage." Xiao Fuxuan said slowly, "But the damage has reversed later."
Wu Xingxue was taken aback: "Reversal?"
Xiao Fuxuan nodded, "Yes."
Wu Xingxue was very puzzled: "Why?"
***
In fact, Xiao Fuxuan himself was quite puzzled that day.
He knows exactly how much the impact on the soul and body and spirit will be damaged by interrogation. Until he rushed to Xiandu, crossed the Twelve Suspended Peaks with a sword, and fell in front of Wu Xingxue, he was still in a state of physical and spiritual injuries. It's just that it never showed on the face.
But shortly thereafter, the wear and tear he suffered from the interrogation slowly regained momentum.
It was a very strange situation. Because firstly, he didn't sit quietly to recuperate, and secondly, he didn't take any elixir, and he was even fighting each other.
It stands to reason that the wear and tear should be getting heavier and heavier.
At that time, Xiao Fuxuan had just remembered the past during the interrogation, and his memory was still a little fuzzy. He vaguely captured a little in those obliterated memories—
As early as when Wu Xingxue was still the Spirit King, there was an invisible bond between him and Wu Xingxue, and his glory and loss were connected.
Every time Wu Xingxue returned to the Immortal Capital after cutting the chaotic lines, and when his body and spirit were at a loss, Xiao Fuxuan's fairy spirit unknowingly offered to Wu Xingxue to help him recover.
When thinking of this, Xiao Fuxuan was startled. He thought that the support was still there, and it was two-way. He thought that the reason why he turned around unknowingly was because he absorbed Wu Xingxue's spirit.
So he had to make sure that Wu Xingxue was safe and sound from time to time during the melee in Xiandu.
After a few times, Xiao Fuxuan felt relieved - he can be sure that the turn was not because of Wu Xingxue.
Then he remembered that on the day King Ling killed him, he had already changed the connection between the two to another, and it was hidden in the jade statue he carved with his own hands.
That's not two-way, it's one-way—
If Wu Xingxue was ill or seriously injured, he would help him.
On the contrary, there is no movement.
In this way, it remains a question why he slowly repaired the damage he suffered due to questioning.
The answer to this question is at the end of the melee in Xiandu.
At that time, the fairy capitals in the present world and the immortals with disordered lines overlapped for a moment, and Xiao Fuxuan used one life move to protect Wu Xingxue, and the other life move fell on Tianxiu who was in disordered lines.
At that moment, Xiao Fuxuan understood the reason.
Because when his life move fell on the chaotic Tianxiu, he found that the opponent's soul was also depleted, and the depletion also carried the sword intent of the word "free".
…
Wu Xingxue frowned: "Sword intent? Are you sure that's the sword intent of your spirit sword?"
Xiao Fuxuan said: "My own sword, of course I don't admit my mistake."
"The soul is damaged, and it still has sword intent..." Wu Xingxue whispered, he was always smart, and he understood what it meant in an instant: "Only the traces left by interrogation?"
Xiao Fuxuan nodded: "Only questioning."
Wu Xingxue: "So why does he also have traces of questioning? It is impossible to experience exactly the same thing as you."
Looking at Yun Hai and Hua Xin, one can tell that although the chaotic lines are phantoms, they are not the same as the real world.
Xiao Fuxuan questioned himself in Canglang Northern Territory because he wanted to remember the obliterated past. What about the chaotic Tiansu? He has no reason to question himself.
"Take a step back, even if he questioned himself about some things, it's impossible for him to have the same timing as you." Wu Xingxue murmured, "Then there is only one possibility."
He raised his eyes to look at Xiao Fuxuan: "His exact injury came from you."
***
That's what Xiao Fuxuan conjectured at the time, and in the next moment, this conjecture was confirmed—
When he was based on burning his soul, his life-sacrificing move fell on Luanxian Tianxiu. The opponent's soul also showed a tendency to "burn out" rapidly.
Everything is almost exactly the same, and the two sides are always on the same level, like looking in a mirror.
And in this "always equal" process, a mark on both sides of their confrontation lightened up slightly.
That is the golden seal with the word "free" bestowed by heaven.
That mark is usually hidden, only revealed under some special circumstances—
Either because the evil spirit has just been eliminated, the body is contaminated with evil energy, and the soul has been depleted.
Either because of blurred consciousness.
Both Xiao Fuxuan and Wu Xingxue once thought that this imprint was just a symbol of Tianxiu and Lingwang, and it was no different from the birthmark on Fan's body to identify his identity. The imprint itself had no effect.
Until this moment, when Xiao Fuxuan and Tian Su on the chaotic line faced each other and the two golden seals lit up at the same time, he realized that the seal was not useless.
The way the two imprints flow relative to each other is exactly the same mantra.
The curse seal is called the tribute seal.
This is what is on the statues of boys and girls in the Great Sad Valley. This is also what happened to the back of the necks of doctors Wusheng and Hua Zhaoting.
That used to be the most commonly used and most proficient curse seal of the immortals in Xiandu——
They left their own tribute seals on the gods enshrined everywhere in the world. From then on, the incense offerings received by those gods were transformed into spiritual power, and all were passed on to the deities.
The immortals thus ensure that their spiritual power will not fade and their immortal essence will not be destroyed.
***
The moment Wu Xingxue heard the tribute seal, Wu Xingxue's heart skipped a beat.
He subconsciously touched the side of Xiao Fuxuan's neck, and his fingers landed on the place where the word "Mian" should have been in gold, and said: "So... the seal given by heaven is actually a tribute seal?"
Xiao Fuxuan nodded: "Yes."
In fact, twenty-five years ago, his confrontation with Chaoxian Tianxiu was only for a very short moment. Before he had time to think about it, everything was over.
After that, the Immortal Capital collapsed, Wu Xingxue was placed in Canglang Northern Territory, and he himself scattered his spirit in the cold mist in a hurry, completely ignoring what the so-called "tribute seal" meant.
It wasn't until he woke up in the coffin, and then hurriedly encountered "Fan Dianzhao" of the Great Sad Valley with Wu Xingxue, and at the same time, with the help of a broken spirit in his body, to calmly stare at the chaotic trifles, he slowly unblocked all.
He said to Wu Xingxue: "The 'you' on the chaotic line is somewhat different from Yun Hai and Hua Xin. It is not born from the cause and effect of the chaotic line, nor is it a simple projection and phantom."
"This should be related to the relationship between you and Lingtai Tiandao."
Xiao Fuxuan paused for a moment, then said in a low voice: "Since there is only one spirit platform and heaven in this world, how can there be a second spirit king?"
Wu Xingxue was startled when he heard that.
Listening to this, he almost understood the whole story—
Since there is only one Lingtai Heavenly Dao, then he and the Lingtai Heavenly Dao have the same root and origin, so they should be one. Even on the chaotic line, there shouldn't be a spirit king who is exactly like him.
The same is true for Tiansu.
How could there be the second Xiao Fuxuan who blocked the thunder calamity for the Shenmu and died under the tree with his sword
Therefore, no matter who is on the chaotic line, Tiansu Xiao Fuxuan and Lingwang Wu Xingxue should not appear. But it is "present", so where the "Tianxiu" and "Spirit King" on the chaotic line come from, it is worth pondering.
Xiao Fuxuan said: "After looking for some traces, I can only confirm that the Lingtai Tiandao used some spiritual objects to shape the body, and then the two bodies absorbed spiritual power through the tribute seal on your neck, and formed the so-called heavenly body. King Suheling."
If the other is the projection and phantom of the present world, it is another self.
Then "Tianxiu" and "Spirit King" on the chaotic line are exceptions.
They started from the shells formed by spiritual objects, and had nothing to do with Xiao Fuxuan and Wu Xingxue at all. But the body is originally empty, and everything filled in that empty body comes from Xiao Fuxuan and Wu Xingxue.
Those auras are originally part of Xiao Fuxuan and Wu Xingxue, so the chaotic "Tianxiu" and "Spirit King" have almost the same habits, movements, demeanor and tone as the main body, even more than those projections and phantoms. , more like themselves.
In addition, there is also a "tribute seal" implicated.
Wu Xingxue was silent for a long time, with a complicated expression on her face.
He recalled what Xiao Fuxuan said about the scene of the scuffle in Xiandu twenty-five years ago, and said, "No wonder you suffered wear and tear from the interrogation, and the one on the chaotic line slowly also suffered wear and tear, all because of that tribute seal. Then Isn't it... the two sides are always in balance?"
Xiao Fuxuan said: "It should be."
This is probably the state that Tiandao wanted at the beginning—Tianxiu and Lingwang, who are chaotic lines, will never be defeated in the present world.
It's just a double-edged sword.
The original Xiao Fuxuan was injured and was not at his peak. The chaotic lines of Tiansu also become one because of the connection of tribute and seal. It's not that tricky anymore.
What's more, there is one biggest difference between the two parties - the beginning of this life is different.
Xiao Fuxuan's soul was inherently fragmented, while the chaotic Tianxiu only had a complete ethereal spirit cultivated by the tribute seal.
So at the last moment twenty-five years ago, both spirits were scattered, one lived and the other died.
At the moment when Luanxian Tianxiu died, the spiritual power and immortal energy he had absorbed returned to Xiao Fuxuan. This also allowed Xiao Fuxuan to gather his virtual form at that moment and descend into the Canglang Northern Territory with Wu Xingxue in his arms.
***
Wu Xingxue pondered and said: "According to this, the current strength of that Spirit King should be quite different..."
He paused halfway through his words, and laughed dumbfoundedly.
"Oh, that's not right." He denied the first half of the sentence again, and said in a low voice, "No, it's still quite far away. After all, there is no such seal anymore."
The golden seal with the word "Zhao" on his neck representing the King of Spirits was gone when he became a demon three hundred years ago.
The tribute seal connected on both sides was broken from him.
So he changed from a fairy to a demon, and became Wu Xingxue, the lord of Zhaoye City. He was injured during the tribulation period. But the one on the chaotic line stayed at the moment he was three hundred years ago, and was still the "spirit king" in that peak state.
***
Wu Xingxue thought for a while and said, "That's not good."
Xiao Fuxuan thought there was something strange, and asked, "What's wrong?"
Wu Xingxue: "Three hundred years ago at the peak state...you probably won't be able to beat it."
Xiao Fuxuan: "?"
Wu Xingxue glanced at him: "What's your expression?"
Xiao Fuxuan: "Nothing."
Wu Xingxue emphasized: "You can't beat it."
Xiao Fuxuan glanced at him, hesitated to speak. He recalled the neat figure of Jingguan passing through the cold fog back then, and cooperated: "Let's take it for granted."
"Have you fought against him on the chaotic line?" Wu Xingxue asked again.
Xiao Fuxuan: "..."
He couldn't hold back, and reminded a certain person: "What's left there is just a body and a broken spirit. Why do you want to fight?"
Is it because you are afraid that you will not be exposed
His expression was really playful, and Wu Xingxue couldn't help laughing. But he smiled for a while, then stopped laughing and said: "I don't know what's going on with the chaotic line. Does he realize that he is in the chaotic line?"
He thought for a while and said, "Actually, I don't know how to treat that...'Spirit King'."
In fact, it should be regarded as a part of him, and it was formed by absorbing his spiritual power and immortal essence without his knowing it.
This is no different from their divided bodies and puppets. But Fen's body and puppets are driven by their nature, thinking the same thing.
The "Spirit King" was different.
He didn't know how much of the "spirit king"'s current thoughts came from him and were influenced by him. If it's all, that's fine.
If not all of them, then the rest are the "spirit king" naturally, or... influenced by the heavenly way of the Lingtai
if the latter one…
That's the trouble.
Wu Xingxue raised this doubt.
Xiao Fuxuan pondered for a moment, then replied: "It's hard to say."
Wu Xingxue's heart tightened: "What do you mean?"
Xiao Fuxuan didn't always stare at the chaotic lines, but left that body to follow Broken Spirit's daily activities. He thought about it and said, "Contact is not really counted. So, that 'spirit king' sometimes reacts a little strangely."
Perhaps it is because the chaotic "Tianxiu" and "Spirit King" did not exist, but were formed through the spiritual power of Xiao Fuxuan and Wu Xingxue.
So there are some differences between them and the positive "".
Their tone, habits, and temper at first glance are almost the same as the deity, but they are a little lighter on that basis.
It's like learning only one shell.
"Like you, he called Lige Sangfeng and them 'fairy friends'." Xiao Fuxuan said, "But you had frequent contacts with Sangfeng and them back then, but he was very few."
"Yun Hai is also similar."
But because Yun Hai often took the initiative to ask for wine visits, it seemed a bit awkward.
"Where's that 'Tianxiu' from Tongchao Line?" Wu Xingxue asked.
"The same is true, otherwise I would have seen it through."
They are similar to the deities in this world, and they "often travel together", "often communicate with each other" and "often pass on books" among the people in Xiandu. What people often say is what they are. No more.
Still only a shell.
As if everything was shrouded in a layer of fog.
Wu Xingxue listened, and muttered: "It does sound a bit weird. It's not just a little more superficial. It's like the "Spirit King" of Chaotic Lines has grown into a son in the perception of everyone in Xiandu."
"In other words..." He paused for a moment, then said, "Isn't that the son recognized by the Heavenly Dao of the Lingtai?"
No wonder Xiao Fuxuan replied "hard to say".
From this point of view, the weirdness is even more than that.
Since the 'spirit king' has been to this world, he even tried to go back and find the beginning and source of this world. It also triggered the melee in Xiandu twenty-five years ago.
According to common sense, after these things, he seldom had some doubts.
But he had little doubts, and passed many years as usual.
Previously at the bottom of the Great Compassion Valley, the 'Spirit King' clearly saw Hua Xin's interrogation, and when he suddenly appeared with Hua Xin talking about Meng Ling, his tone clearly felt that something was wrong with the world he was in.
But when he confronted Wu Xingxue and Xiao Fuxuan, the conversation and attitude suddenly changed.
It was as if his doubts had just popped up again, then turned a corner abruptly, faded, and even disappeared.
Thinking back, Wu Xingxue said in a slow voice: "The mood of that 'Spirit King' is indeed unusual, and there is no way he would change his mind normally. It seems..."
He paused, Xiao Fuxuan answered, "I was affected halfway."
Wu Xingxue: "That's right."
Just like that "Spirit King" is always affected by something when he is about to suddenly become enlightened, so everything becomes boring again, and the days continue to move forward as always.
Where this influence comes from is self-evident.
Wu Xingxue actually wondered before—
Tiandao felt that the world was uncontrollable, so he turned to Chaotic Line. So how does it determine that the messy lines are controllable? How to be sure that the "Ling King" who is in disorder will not rebel
If it also rebels, who will it turn to to lead another mess
Now it seems that it is somewhat clear.
Although the chaotic 'spirit king' was born from Wu Xingxue's spiritual power, it is considered a part of Wu Xingxue. But I'm afraid there is the influence and interference of the Lingtai Heavenly Dao.
That's why Tiandao firmly believes that he will not rebel.
Wu Xingxue asked Xiao Fuxuan: "When did you feel that he was a little weird and might be influenced by the way of heaven?"
Xiao Fuxuan said, "A little earlier."
"Then why are you still trying to lure Kazumono to him?" Wu Xingxue asked, "Aren't you afraid of doing something useless?"
Xiao Fuxuan said: "The influence of the Dao of Heaven is not always there."
He was silent for a moment and said: "Besides, there are always things in this world that the law of heaven cannot drive, and there are always things that the law of heaven cannot drive."
Wu Xingxue thought about it: "This is a bit like a gamble, but that 'Spirit King' is—"
Before he finished speaking, Xiao Fuxuan looked at him and said, "Wu Xingxue is talking about you."
Wu Xingxue froze for a moment.
"?"
"Um."
Xiao Fuxuan said: "He appeared because of you, and was transformed by your spiritual power and immortality. Every word and deed comes from you, even if it is a little shallower, a little thinner. That is you."
So where does "that spirit king" come from? There has always been only one spirit king in the world, and it was the same three hundred years ago and three hundred years later. It is unique.
He dared to cut his flesh and blood to fight against the law of heaven, becoming a fairy, a demon, and a ghost. Don't submit to accept the forced good and evil and disregard the balance of life and death just because it is a little shallow, thin, or occasionally affected by the interference of heaven.
It's not actually a gamble.
"Because it's you, I dare to try." Xiao Fuxuan said. :,,.
