In the dead of night, only the distant sound of bamboo waves carried by the wind echoed gently in the night sky. The lights had long been extinguished, and the disciples of Dazhu Peak had all rested in peace. There was only a lone lamp behind the Shoujing Hall, standing alone in the darkness. shining with light
The night breeze blew gently, and there was a hint of coolness, blowing in from the half-open window, making a slight "woo-woo" sound, and it also blew in
The lamp on the table in the middle of the room swayed a little and became flickering.
A white hand gently stretched out to block the wind. The fire quickly stabilized and began to glow again. Suru sat lazily at the table. The night was already deep, but she had no sleepiness.
The wind outside the house was still blowing non-stop, hitting the doors and windows, making soft noises from time to time. Suru stood up and walked slowly to the window, but did not close the window immediately, but looked out the window.
The sky is like ink, it is the darkest time
She listened intently, but there was no sound she wanted to hear in the late night wind.
A faint bitter smile appeared on Suru's face, she closed the window quietly, turned around and sat back at the table. Neither she nor Tian Buyi were people who valued luxury. There were not many furnishings in the bedroom. At this moment, on the table, In addition to a cloth bag, there is only a small round mirror
She took the round mirror over, and after a moment, in front of her eyes, a dignified and beautiful woman appeared in the round mirror. Her hair was like clouds, her skin was like that of a girl, and there was not a trace of wrinkles. She and Tian Buyi were married together. , after hundreds of years of practice, I have this Taoist practice, and my appearance is always there
After looking at it for a while, Suru sighed softly, put the small round mirror aside, took the cloth bag at the other end, and opened it
Inside are some of the most common things, some needles and threads, a piece of cloth, scissors, and a powder eraser. In the secular world, ordinary women usually have these things so that they can make clothes for their husbands and children. I gently took the cloth, threaded the needle and thread, and sewed carefully by the light of the lamp.
It was just that she was sewing, but under the candlelight, her eyes became a little blurred, and she seemed to be a little absent-minded. She didn't know what she was thinking about, and her sewing speed also slowed down a lot. At this moment, suddenly the room The wind outside seemed to have picked up suddenly, and there was a "woo" sound, but the window that had just been closed was slapped hard, and suddenly it blew open again.
A cold wind rushed in immediately, and the candle on the table was blown out by the strong wind almost at the same time
"ah"
With a soft cry, Suru frowned in the darkness, and there was a stinging pain on the tip of her finger. With her Taoist practice, she could actually hurt her finger with a small sewing needle. Even she felt it. It's a little funny, but for some reason, the room is dark at the moment. When the cold night wind blows, Suru's mood becomes a little sad, as if there is a big stone in her heart, heavy.
She sighed, put down her clothes and needlework, and walked to the window. The scenery outside the window was still the same, but her husband, who had watched all this with her countless times in the past, had been gone for a long time.
After daybreak, maybe we should send Daren and the others down the mountain to look for them. Waiting like this is not an option.
Suru thought so in her heart, Tian Buyi's appearance flashed in front of her eyes, and she felt worried
The night is dark
She stared at the night sky for a long time, her lips trembling slightly, not knowing what she was saying. After a long time, she lowered her head in silence, sighed quietly, and closed the window.
Outside the house, the wind seemed to be a little more urgent
¡ù¡ù¡ù
??Huqishan, Ghost King Sect
In the same late night, there are also people who are sleepless, but their mood may be different.
Hidden above the blood pool in the deepest part of the mountain, the Ghost King and Mr. Ghost stood side by side. Mr. Ghost was still wrapped in black clothes, and his expression could not be seen clearly, but there was excitement and excitement that could not be concealed on the Ghost King's face. happy
He didn't look tired at all from staying up late. In fact, with the Ghost King's spiritual practice, even if he didn't sleep for several days, there wouldn't be any serious problems. At this moment, his face not only didn't look tired, but also had a faint look on his face. Red light, full of energy, is staring at the blood pool at his feet.
The blood pool soaked in countless blood has undergone obvious changes at this moment compared with the past. The four great spirit beasts are still imprisoned in the blood. Even Taotie, who struggled hard before, looks like he has been sucked out at this moment. He lost all his strength and crawled listlessly in the blood. He didn't move for a long time.
And the water of the blood pool, which has always been calm, is no longer calm at this moment. In the huge water surface, there are bubbles constantly rising from the depths of the blood water, and at the same time, the sound of bursting is constantly heard.Moreover, the speed is several times faster than before, and the number of bubbles is also much greater. The entire blood pool seems to be boiling. An invisible force is gradually awakening from the depths of the blood pool, and The bloody smell that once existed in this space is more than ten times stronger than before.
In mid-air, the Fulong Cauldron, the hub of the Four Spirits Blood Array, has also undergone some changes from the past. The original clumsy and thick cauldron body seems to have absorbed a lot of spiritual energy from the blood pool below and the four spirit beasts. Demonic power, gradually revealed a trace of red light, and the cauldron, which originally seemed to be made of bronze, now also showed a transparent and slightly light yellow amber color, looking vaguely solemn.
On the tripod, the mysterious inscriptions all lit up, as if they had regained life.
Generally, there is a strange light shining, and on the most central pattern, the four spirit beast patterns that were flickering on and off are now all bright, sparkling, and the light is better than the surrounding text. Only in this pattern The head of the ferocious demon god in the middle is still as red as blood, greedily absorbing the spiritual power that Fulong Cauldron continuously absorbs from below.
And in the space surrounding the Fulong Cauldron, within the sealed mountain belly, there is actually a vortex of mist-like clouds out of thin air, faintly carrying the power of wind and thunder, constantly moving around the cauldron, even if it stands. The Ghost King and Mr. Ghost in the distance can still clearly feel that the Fulong Cauldron itself contains terrible and terrifying magic power, and this strange magic power is still being continuously added, supplemented and strengthened.
Like the Ghost King, Mr. Ghost is also looking at the Fulong Cauldron, but his eyes are cold and sharp. Compared with the Ghost King, he is less fanatical and more calm.
Mr. Ghost stared at the Fulong Cauldron for a long time, and then slowly said: "Everything is normal now, and it is exactly as stated in the inscription on the Fulong Cauldron. If this continues, as long as the period of seven or forty-nine days is fulfilled, it seems that the Four Spirits The Blood Formation, this incredible formation, will definitely succeed."
The Ghost King took a deep breath, his face was flushed, and his eyes showed a fanatical light that was rarely seen in him. He took a step forward and couldn't help but roared, saying: "Okay, okay, okay, I can't wait any longer."
Mr. Ghost glanced at him and said: "Master, please be patient, the future will be long."
The Ghost King looked up to the sky and laughed. Huo Di turned around, walked to Mr. Ghost, and reached out his hand to slap Mr. Ghost heavily on the shoulder. Mr. Ghost seemed to be startled, and there was a strange look in his eyes, but in the end he did not move. On the same spot, after a moment, the ghost king's palm patted his shoulder, but there was no difference. He just laughed and said: "Okay, okay, okay."
He laughed, very happy, and then seemed to remember something, his smile faded a little, and he said seriously to Mr. Ghost: "Thank you very much."
Mr. Ghost lowered his head slightly and said: "The success of this unparalleled formation is all due to the great blessing of the sect master. Moreover, if it were not for this magical weapon of Fulong Cauldron, there would be nothing I can do."
The Ghost King smiled and shook his head and said: "The Fulong Cauldron is the most important treasure of our Ghost King Sect, but for many years no one has been able to understand the inscriptions on the body of the cauldron. Only you finally helped me. This is the gift of God to me, to achieve success." "Hegemony"
Mr. Ghost was silent for a moment and said: "The sect master has given me the award."
The Ghost King chuckled, but then turned around, his eyes once again fell on the Fulong Cauldron standing in the void, shining brightly, and with overwhelming aura. Another burst of excitement and ecstasy passed through his eyes, and he couldn't help but laugh out loud again. laughed
Mr. Ghost stood quietly behind the Ghost King, watching the Ghost King become more and more arrogant. Without saying a word, anyone who knew the Ghost King would be surprised if he casually walked in here. The Ghost King has always been a talented man. He is restrained and deep, and has never looked so arrogant and arrogant. But this time when I look at Mr. Ghost's eyes, I don't see any sign of surprise in Mr. Ghost's eyes.
I don¡¯t know whether it¡¯s because I see Mr. Ghost and the Ghost King alone a lot on weekdays, or because he¡¯s so scheming that others can¡¯t see it at all.
All in all, above the huge blood pool in the hidden mountain belly, in the thick bloody atmosphere, the Ghost King was planning the future with great satisfaction. His proud laughter echoed and gradually enveloped the entire huge cave. Behind him, there was A quiet shadow, standing silently
¡ù¡ù¡ù
At the foot of Qingyun Mountain
The strange black clouds above the sky have gradually dissipated at some point, but the clouds are still very thick. From the dark sky, heavy rain is still falling, washing away this seemingly lonely world.
In the wilderness, the wind and rain are fierce, and the chill is biting. Not long ago, there was an abandoned village. After a thrilling and fierce battle, it has become a complete ruin. Even the ground under your feet has been shaken by the huge force. It was destroyed and turned over, and after being washed away by strong winds and heavy rains, it became a dirty?The mud
The sky was dark, with no light at all. In the wilderness, in the wind and rain, there was only a faint blue light, flickering slightly.
Lu Xueqi, who always loved to be clean, her white clothes were stained by mud, but she didn't seem to care at all. Not far in front of her, Tian Buyi's body lay quietly. He closed his eyes, as calm as sleeping. The wind and rain hit his face, and there was a whimpering sound in the wind, as if he was crying.
Gui Li still hasn't woken up. Through the light blue light of Tianya, you can see that his face is as pale as a dead person, and his expression is full of pain. If it weren't for the slight pain in his chest, The ups and downs of breathing almost gave people an illusion. At this moment, his body was held in Lu Xueqi's arms. Tianya was quietly emitting light, opening up a small gap in the small places around Lu Xueqi and Gui Li, and the invisible force blocked it. raindrops
Not far in front of them, the monkey Xiao Hui also lost his usual activity and sat quietly on the ground, watching the stars falling from the sky.
The rain wet its body hair, and from time to time water droplets flowed over its face and body, dripping to the ground. A cold wind blew. Xiao Hui blinked all three eyes, as if feeling a little cold, and quietly moved towards Gui Li's body. closer
Lu Xueqi silently raised her head, glanced at Xiao Hui, then stretched out her hand, gently lifted Xiao Hui into Tianya's halo, and let him lie on Gui Li's body. Xiao Hui looked at Lu Xueqi, and whispered softly. It screamed "Zhizhizhizhi", and then its head lowered slightly, leaning on Gui Li's chest. It turned its head to one side and stared at Tian Buyi's quiet body not far in front.
Like a dream? illusive
It seemed like a distant and long dream, but there was no joy at all, because at the end, it turned out to be a nightmare.
Gui Li's body moved, and the sadness on his pale face seemed to be a little deeper. After a moment, with a painful groan, he slowly woke up.
There is light in front of my eyes, a light blue brilliance, gently floating and lingering around my body
There are sounds all around, the sound of wind and rain, the wind is blowing and the rain is blowing, the wind is rustling
Xiao Hui, who was leaning on Gui Li's chest, suddenly straightened up and looked at Gui Li
The cold wind blows again
Gui Li trembled slightly, and then he saw Lu Xueqi's eyes, that face as pale as his, the only person who accompanied him on this stormy night
The corner of Gui Li¡¯s mouth trembled slightly
The pain in his chest had eased a lot. Gui Li took a look at his chest and saw seven or eight pieces of white cloth of different sizes wrapped around his chest. It looked like they were all temporarily torn from his clothes. At this moment, his consciousness was gradually weakening. After waking up, he soon realized that the broken bones in his chest had been repaired one by one. However, the power of Tian Buyi's palm was really extraordinary. All the energy and veins in his body were shocked. Although Lu Xueqi rescued him afterwards, But I'm afraid it will take many days to recover.
When he thought of this, he subconsciously turned his eyes and soon saw that the mentor who raised him, Gui Li, did not speak. He seemed to have no strength to speak. In the wind and rain, Tian Buyi's face was covered with splatters. dripping water, lying silently in the dirty mud
Who knows what will happen to him after his death?
A low hoarse cry came from his throat. Gui Li's body rolled down from Lu Xueqi's arms and fell into the mud. Then he struggled to crawl towards Tian Buyi's body. Lu Xueqi was startled and instinctively She pulled him forward, but when her hand touched Gui Li's body, she heard Gui Li whisper:
"Don't pull me"
Lu Xueqi stood dumbly and slowly retracted her outstretched hand. She looked at Gui Li and followed him. She watched Gui Li leave Tianya's halo and crawl towards Tian Buyi's body step by step. The wind and rain were merciless and biting, and quickly wet his body. Along the way, turbid mud also splashed all over his body.
The monkey Xiao Hui followed Gui Li. Looking at his master, he seemed a little anxious. From time to time he jumped up to Gui Li and stretched out his hands to give him a hand. However, Gui Li was too big compared to Xiao Hui. Xiao Hui couldn't exert any effort for a while, and couldn't help but become a little anxious, and called out "Zhi Zhi Zhi Zhi" a few times.
Finally, Gui Li crawled to Tian Buyi's side. At the tentacles, Gui Li's face, which was already cold, was gritted with teeth. His body was trembling slightly. His eyes were carefully looking at Tian Buyi in front of him, as if he had been there for many years. The wanderer returns, but in the end he is left with only despair
From his face, drops of water dripped, falling on Tian Buyi¡¯s already stiff face.
The storm is getting stronger
His eyes slowly fell on Tian Buyi¡¯s chest. Although the clothes had been tidied up before, the huge and terrifying wound was still shocking. Gui Li seemed to be completelyEveryone was stabbed and their bodies froze.
Then, he slowly turned around and looked back
Behind her was Lu Xueqi's lonely and desolate figure. In the wind and rain, she silently faced Gui Li's gaze. Her face was pale and bloodless, and her hands shrunk in her sleeves were tightly clenched into fists, with deep nails. deep in her skin
That moment of looking at each other, I wonder how sad it was?
The expression on Gui Li's face gradually became confused, and even the initial pain and sadness gradually disappeared. He turned his head blankly and looked at Tian Buyi again. The wind and rain blew, and Tian Buyi's face was filled with unknown expressions. When did it splash some mud on the ground?
Gui Li slowly stretched out his hand and wiped away the rain on Tian Buyi's face. When he touched the cold skin on Tian Buyi's face, his hand instinctively shrank back as if it had been burned by fire. Then he stretched it out again and carefully wiped off the mud and rain on Tian Buyi's face.
Then, he stood up, crawled close to his mentor's body, and used his chest to shield Tian Buyi from the wind and rain, and no longer let the miserable wind and rain touch his body.
Lu Xueqi silently watched everything he did without stopping. On her beautiful face, there was only desolation.
"When I was young, my family was ruined" Gui Li's voice suddenly came from the wind and rain. He spoke very slowly, as if every word had rolled through his heart countless times before he spoke it out slowly.
Lu Xueqi quietly approached him, but Gui Li's body remained motionless, still shielding Tian Buyi from the wind and rain.
"It was Master who took me back to Dazhu Peak to teach me and raise me. I will never be able to repay his kindness in my lifetime."
Gui Li's body shook a little. I don't know if it was because of the fatigue after the injury, but he couldn't bear the force of the wind and rain. Lu Xueqi's expression changed, and she reached out to help him, but her hand just touched Gui Li's body. Li moved slightly to the side to avoid her
Lu Xueqi¡¯s hand was frozen in mid-air
Gui Li struggled to pick up Tian Buyi's body, and held his head and face deeply in his arms. At the same time, there was deep pain on his face, and he just murmured to himself.
Lu Xueqi stood beside him, and despite the wind and rain, she still heard his words clearly. Gui Li just repeated one sentence over and over again:
"I will never be able to pay it back in my lifetime I will never be able to pay it back in my lifetime"
Lu Xueqi's lips trembled slightly, and her gaze passed over Tian Buyi's face. Who knew that on this same night, this man had also talked to her with a smile and made a promise to her? In the despair of the past, I saw a glimmer of hope
That sword, that wound
There is more than one injured person
She smiled sadly, turned around, but her body shook involuntarily a few times, her beautiful eyebrows furrowed, and a mouthful of blood spurted out. Little drops of blood fell on her chest, clothes, and on the ground, but the wind and rain were ruthless. , it didn¡¯t take long before it was eroded away by the rain.
She looked up at the sky, and cold raindrops fell on her face. The sky was as dark as ink.
Isn¡¯t it almost dawn?
But why, until this moment, apart from the lonely ups and downs, is there only darkness in this world?
There were tears in the corners of Lu Xueqi's eyes, and they fell quietly in the wind and rain.
