Ming Yi's voice came from behind, "What are you muttering to yourself?"
Shi Qingxuan's body stiffened,
He said, "I … I … I …"
Xie Lian wanted to speak up for him,
But his tongue did not listen to him. There was nothing he could do. The best friend he trusted the most was actually the thing he feared the most, and he had been lurking by his side. There was no one around, he did not know what he wanted to do,
Who wouldn't be afraid?
Suddenly,
Ming Yi's fingers tightened,
Shi Qingxuan's shoulder felt a pain, and he pressed it down.
At the same time,
A pair of pale hands suddenly stretched out from the stream,
Grabbing Shi Qingxuan's throat.
Water Ghost!
Ming Yi pressed down, and this hand grabbed empty air,
He struck out again,
A scream came from the water, it seemed that the thing had been scattered. Shi Qingxuan fell to the ground,
Ming Yi pulled him up and said, "Is there something wrong with your brain,
You can find a random stream in the Black Water Ghost Land to wash your face. "
"…"
Shi Qingxuan had just used the stream water that had soaked the corpse of the water ghost to soak himself. He should have felt slightly disgusted,
However, he was not in the mood to pay attention to this,
His cheeks and hair were dripping with water, he was drenched like a drowned chicken, he was out of his wits,
He just allowed "Ming Yi" to pull him up and followed him in a daze.
Actually, when he thought about it carefully, everything related to this' Brother Ming 'revealed a strange feeling.
He was a Geomaster, so naturally, all the Earth Shrinking Formations along the way were drawn by him. This should have been his special skill, but it kept happening.
The four of them were inexplicably teleported from the Pu Qi Temple to Bogu Town, and something happened to the teleportation of the Wind Master and the Navy on the Black Water Island. Was it because the Teleportation Hall had not been repaired for a long time? Was there something else at work? Was it because the mastermind behind the scenes was too powerful?
Why think too much? The simplest answer was that Ming Yi had done something to them!
When Master Wind was first taken away by the Vernacular True Immortal, he was the one who lost sight of him. When Master Wind lost his mana, he was also the first to discover him. He was the one who had always been by Shi Qingxuan's side and knew his fears and actions like the back of his hand. He knew Master Wind's password and could command the Vernacular True Immortal to threaten him. He was also the one who personally opened the door of the protective formation of the wine table.
At that time, he smashed the signboard of Fengshui Palace with his own hands, but his expression didn't change. Maybe it was because he was unconventional, or maybe it was because he did it on purpose.
Using this as an excuse, he openly destroyed his enemy's signboard in front of them, and the enemy even had to thank him. How arrogant and bold!
It wasn't that Xie Lian had never suspected these minute oddities. He had personally probed the three questions. But he had never thought that something so audacious and unbelievable could actually happen. A ghost, disguised as a priest, had been lurking among them all this time!
Black Waters Sinking Boat, always low-key?
It was only natural for him to keep a low profile since he had been living under another identity for many years.
At that time, Mingyi's answer was indeed flawless. That was because he had swallowed the Vernacular True Immortal and possessed its ability. He could order it around like a minion. The Desperate Ghost King was definitely above it. Of course, it wasn't restricted by that characteristic. If he wanted to tell the truth, he would tell the truth. If he wanted to tell a lie, he would tell a lie.
That skeleton's hands and feet were dexterous, fitting the identity of a Geomaster. Why was it placed in the Netherworld Underwater Mansion? It had to be. Because that was the skeleton of a priest. If they didn't treat it carefully and only buried it carelessly, it definitely wouldn't be able to keep the coffin lid down. Therefore, they could only treat it with grand etiquette and place it in their own palace.
But what made Xie Lian guess his identity wasn't just this. It was that pounce.
The sailors asked why the skeleton had the last radiance of a setting sun. Mingyi rushed to answer, "As long as there's something that can stand up and block our way, everything else is important." But in reality, what really provoked Mingyi wasn't this sentence, but the four words after — "Lord Geomaster!" It was because he was the real Geomaster!
And the person who impersonated him was standing right in front of them. Moreover, he had casually and deliberately led them in the wrong direction.
Sometimes, "Mingyi" would deliberately do the opposite, pulling them in the right direction a few times to get rid of suspicion. For example, he said to Hua Cheng, "You really have a spy in the Heavenly Court." But wasn't that spy himself? That was why Hua Cheng sarcastically replied, "Didn't you already know?" The underlying meaning was, "Why bother putting on an act?"
However, the term "spy" was probably not accurate. There should be an agreement between the two of them. For example, an exchange of information.
If the two Desperate Ghost Kings worked together, wouldn't it be a win-win situation? Black Water infiltrated the Heavenly Court and grasped the movements of the Heavenly Realm. Hua Cheng took root in the human world and had believers everywhere. Other than that, it was unknown whether there was any other cooperation. Jun Wu sent the "Geomaster" to the Ghost City as a spy. It was like sending a thief into a thief's den.
Since "Mingyi" had been undercover, there had only been two accidents. The first was the Fire Dragon Howling to the Heavens technique.
The impersonator naturally wouldn't do something like that. Xie Lian was more inclined to believe that the Fire Dragon Howling to the Heavens technique was released by the real Mingyi when he escaped.
To completely disguise as someone else and infiltrate the Heavenly Court, it was impossible not to have a good understanding of that person. Therefore, the impersonator must be kept alive and details must be extracted from his mouth bit by bit. Including experience, skills, and how to use magic weapons. The fake Mingyi should have captured and imprisoned the real Mingyi when he had just gone through the tribulation and hadn't had the time to ascend to heaven. Otherwise, if the real Mingyi had already been in contact with other Heavenly Officials, the impersonator would be exposed even more easily.
That was an accident. Therefore, when Hua Cheng received the news, he had to go back to help his partner deal with the aftermath. Coincidentally, Xie Lian also accepted the mission from Jun Wu: Ghost City Rescue.
At that time, he didn't feel it. Now that he thought about it, wasn't that operation a little too smooth? Xie Lian did indeed rescue the "Geomaster" from the Blissful Place's dungeon, but how did he discover the dungeon?
It was because he first saw the demon-masked man wearing the shackles under Hua Cheng, and then he saw this man sneaking around the Blissful Place.
Something like the shackles was a disgrace. Normally, when a Heavenly Official was demoted, they would want to hide it. Why would that demon-masked man wear it on his hand? Why did he hide it later? Other than "accidentally", the other explanation was that he did it on purpose. It was to attract Xie Lian's attention so that he could naturally discover the "imprisoned" fake Geomaster. In reality, the Mingyi who had sent out the distress signal should have been killed after that. Because there was no way to destroy the corpse and destroy the evidence, he couldn't leave his body behind either. That was equivalent to leaving behind a lot of clues, so he turned him into bones.
The second accident was that after Shi Qingxuan was threatened by the Vernacular True Immortal, he sought Xie Lian's help.
Hua Cheng clearly didn't want Xie Lian to be involved in this matter. Therefore, at that time, Mingyi said, "It wasn't my intention to come here." And later on at the Pouring Wine Platform, during the time when Hua Cheng left, he should have gone to meet up with Mingyi to question him about what was going on.
Xie Lian didn't have the chance to tell Shi Qingxuan all of these in detail, but Shi Qingxuan must have thought of them one by one. His hands, which were hidden under his sleeves, were trembling slightly.
The two of them walked side by side while Xie Lian was thinking, where did Shi Wudu go?
The first one to leave through the formation was Shi Wudu, and the last one was "Mingyi." He shouldn't be able to do anything to Shi Wudu without Shi Qingxuan's permission, so there were three possibilities. First, Shi Wudu was sent to another place. Second, there was something waiting for him at Shi Wudu's destination and he had already been killed. Third, Shi Wudu left on his own.
If it was one or two, there was no reason for Mingyi to continue acting in front of Shi Qingxuan and look for him together. Thinking of this, Xie Lian suddenly heard "Mingyi" say, "Where's your longevity lock?"
Shi Qingxuan didn't react, but Xie Lian's heart jumped. Mingyi asked a few times before Shi Qingxuan said, "Huh?"
"Mingyi" said in annoyance, "Didn't you say that your two longevity locks were made from the essence of gold, and when the owner is injured, it will resonate?"
"…"
Shi Qingxuan told "Mingyi" everything, so he naturally knew the use of this treasure. This meant that he actually wanted to use this golden lock to find Shi Wudu's whereabouts!
Shi Qingxuan said, "But … but, my injury is already healed!"
"Mingyi" said coldly, "Isn't that simple?" As he said that, he raised his hand slightly. Xie Lian thought, "Could it be that he wants to stab Master Wind a few times???" Just as he was on guard, who knew that "Mingyi" would press on the wound on his arm.
The wound that had already healed instantly bled. He said, "Wear the lock for me."
"…"
Seeing this, Xie Lian couldn't help but gasp in admiration.
Even if it was an act, to be able to do it to this extent was really amazing. He could completely understand why Shi Qingxuan would value Mingyi as a friend so much.
If this action did not contain hidden killing intent and bad intentions, such a person would be a friend worth making!
Shi Qingxuan hesitated and did not dare to move. As long as he handed over one longevity lock, the two golden locks would resonate. Shi Wudu sensed it and would definitely take the initiative to look for it. "Mingyi" frowned and said, "Are you scared silly?"
Shi Qingxuan said, "… No! Actually, this, this lock, didn't I tell you? Only when I wear it myself will it have such an effect. "
"Mingyi" said suspiciously, "Is there such a thing?"
Shi Qingxuan gripped the longevity lock tightly and nodded vigorously, "Yes!"
"Mingyi" stared at him for a moment and seemed to give up on this plan. He lowered his head to look at the wound on his arm and did not say anything. Who knew, at this moment, the longevity lock on Shi Qingxuan's neck started to tremble.
Shi Qingxuan's expression changed drastically, and "Mingyi" reacted extremely quickly. He immediately walked in the direction of the longevity lock and said, "Lord Navy is over there."
The golden lock resonated, which meant that Shi Wudu was injured. However, he was completely unscathed when he entered the formation, so what could have injured him now?
Xie Lian could feel that Shi Qingxuan was in a hurry to go, but it was not that he did not want to go. They were trapped in the illusion of the Black Water Lake, and there was no one else on the island. Pei Ming was painstakingly cutting wood to build a coffin boat outside the realm, waiting for them to return. Shi Qingxuan was a mortal right now, and Shi Wudu was injured again. Even heaven and earth would not respond to him. Now that he had delivered himself to his door, how could he run?
After hurriedly walking for a while, Shi Qingxuan said, "Ming … Brother, I think there is a trick in this, it's best not to go!"
"Mingyi" said, "What trick?"
Shi Qingxuan braced himself and said, "How could my brother be injured? The one over there might not be him. "
"Mingyi" was much more reasonable than him and said, "Right now, we are in the territory of the Desperate Ghost King. Lord Navy might not have the ability to protect himself. No matter what it is, let's go and take a look first. "
Shi Qingxuan could not think of a reason not to go. Xie Lian also could not think of one, but he quietly watched the changes. As the vibration of the longevity lock increased, the two of them got closer and closer. They saw Shi Wudu lying on the ground, curled up in a sorry state, holding his abdomen, looking like he was in great pain. Shi Qingxuan was shocked when he saw this and shouted, "Brother!" He ran over, and Mingyi followed.
Who knew that when Shi Qingxuan got close to Shi Wudu, Shi Wudu suddenly jumped up and hugged him, laughing crazily. Shi Qingxuan was hugged by him and was extremely shocked. Only then did he realize that this person's nose was crooked and his eyes were slanted. How was this Shi Wudu? It was just a crazy weirdo wearing Shi Wudu's clothes and wearing that golden lock!
Before he could speak, he heard a loud sound. "Mingyi" who was beside him suddenly fell to the ground. There was a black hole the size of a ball in his chest, and blood covered the ground. And a figure in white jumped down from the tree, grabbed him and ran, shouting, "Go!"
Xie Lian took a closer look, this person was Shi Wudu!
Shi Qingxuan said, "Brother?!"
Shi Wudu shouted in a low voice, "Don't talk, quickly follow me! He is not a good person! "
In the time it took for a spark to fly off a flint, Xie Lian understood. It turned out that Shi Wudu was not easy to deal with. When he came out of the door formation and realized that he was still in the Netherworld Underwater Manor, he felt that something was wrong. His thinking was much simpler and sharper than Xie Lian's. The first thing he suspected was that Mingyi was up to something. He hid first so that he could not find him and hid in the dark to see what he was doing. He and Shi Qingxuan were probably teleported to different places, if not he would have brought Shi Qingxuan to hide together. After realizing that Mingyi and Shi Qingxuan were moving together, he pulled a crazy weirdo over and helped him put on his clothes, put on the golden lock, and then gave him a palm to attract Mingyi's attention before launching a surprise attack from the side. He was also vicious and merciless. In fact, there was no strong evidence to prove that Mingyi had done much, but once he made a move, he was aiming for his life!
Shi Qingxuan could not help but turn his head, and this time, he just happened to see Mingyi, whose heart had been pierced through, lying on the ground for a while. He sat up, looked down at the bloody hole expressionlessly, and slowly stood up.
At that moment, Xie Lian felt a piercing coldness spread from Shi Qingxuan to the bottom of his heart. Even if it was a god official, how could they still be able to move normally after being beaten up like this? It must be something that was not human!
The two brothers ran for a while, and suddenly, the hairs on Xie Lian's back stood up, and he shouted, "Be careful!" He pulled the navy, and a sharp sound of wind breaking came from the air in front of them, and a cold light flashed past. If it was not for Xie Lian's pull, the navy would have already been slit in the neck.
Those invisible people who could only be reflected in the water!
Shi Wudu scolded, and with a flip of his hand, he took out the navy fan. With a backhand fan, seven to eight slender water arrows shot out from the water ripples on the surface of the fan, and surrounded the two of them, forming a protective circle. This time, those invisible people could not do anything to them. The two of them continued to run, and Shi Qingxuan could not help but turn his head. When he turned his head, his hair stood on end, and he said, "He … followed us!"
As expected, "Mingyi" was about two hundred feet behind them, and he was walking slowly. Even though it looked like he was "walking slowly," but with every step he took, the distance between him and the two people in front of him was instantly shortened by a large margin. It was as if in another seven to eight steps, he would be able to grab the back of their clothes!
Shi Wudu didn't look back. With a wave of his fan, another twenty to thirty extremely sharp dragon-shaped water arrows shot out. They were clearly condensed from water, but they actually emitted the sound of steel blades tearing through the air. With another wave, the number doubled. With a few more waves, more than a hundred water arrows flew toward 'Ming Yi'. They surrounded her from all directions. If she missed even one arrow, she would definitely be pierced through and feel a chill in her heart. However, "Mingyi" actually grabbed the first water arrow with his bare hands, and with a tug, it was like pulling a rope. The navy fan was actually pulled out of his hand just like that!
Once the fan left his hand, the water dragon arrows that were dancing wildly in the air immediately turned into a sky full of fine rain, and fell down. Shi Wudu suddenly stopped, and looked at his own hand in disbelief. In more than a hundred years, this was the first time someone had pulled the navy fan from his hand. He knew in his heart that he couldn't escape, and when he turned back to look, "Mingyi" was also steadily walking toward them with his hands behind his back.
His entire person seemed to be undergoing some kind of subtle change. With every step he took, this change increased. That originally snow-white face became even paler, and like Hua Cheng, there was no color of blood. His brows became sharper, and the outline of his eyes became deeper. Of course, it also became more gloomy. The originally simple black robe quietly grew a dark pattern of water ripples embroidered with fine thread in an inconspicuous corner, and it flickered with a mysterious silver light. When he walked in front of the two Fengshui Masters, even though he still had the same face, he was already a completely different person.
Geomasters weren't martial gods, and their martial strength wasn't good, and their magic power wasn't strong. However, this person in front of them clearly didn't match these two points. Shi Wudu said warily, "What exactly are you?"
"Mingyi" seemed to find it funny, and he squinted his eyes. "You are in my territory, and you still have to ask me what I am?"
"…" Shi Wudu said, "Black water xuan ghost?"
"Mingyi" looked at Shi Qingxuan, but Shi Qingxuan didn't have any reaction. Shi Wudu said, "You have always been a Geomaster? Or … "Before he finished, he also reacted, and said," I see. "
But what he reacted to was only the fact that xuan ghosts had always been hiding in the celestial heavens. Shi Wudu said, "You and I have always minded our own business, and we ruled from different regions. This time, coming to your territory wasn't my wish, so why don't we both take a step back?"
"Mingyi" said, "Looks like there are also times when water can't run rampant."
Shi Wudu was arrogant by nature, and when he heard this, a hint of displeasure flashed across his face. Even though he was under the eaves, and his younger brother was by his side, and he had to lower his head, he still didn't want to lose his momentum. He said, "If not for the fact that the timing and location aren't right, I might not be afraid of you."
"Mingyi" took another step forward, and said in an awe-inspiring tone, "Shi Wudu, take a look at who I am."
Shi Wudu frowned slightly and looked at him. He had seen this face of a Geomaster a few times, and he didn't understand what it meant. He said, "Who do you want me to say?" He paused, thinking that she was hinting at him not to reveal his identity, and said, "It doesn't matter who you are. I swear on the name of my navy, as long as you don't implicate us two brothers, whatever you do, it has nothing to do with me … "
Before he finished speaking, "Mingyi" said coldly, "Shui Hengtian is indeed a forgetful person. Back then, you flipped through the birth and name lists of so many people in the mortal realm, and after a lot of effort, you finally found me, the only one. Why, in just a few hundred years, have you forgotten what I look like? "
Hearing this, Shi Wudu's face twisted bit by bit.
This was the first time this expression of "seeing a living ghost" that usually appeared on the face of mortals appeared on his face. Shi Wudu's pupils shrank to the smallest, and he blurted out, "You're still alive?!"
But He Xuan said coldly, "I'm dead!"
After saying this, he suddenly raised his hand, four fingers together, and raised it up. Xie Lian felt a sharp pain coming towards his head. It was Shi Qingxuan being affected by his spell field and fainting.
After an unknown amount of time, Xie Lian slowly woke up along with Shi Qingxuan's consciousness. Before he could open his eyes, he felt something constantly rubbing against his body.
Slowly opening his eyes, he discovered that it was actually seven or eight furry, smelly heads. A group of crazy people surrounded him, laughing idiotically while reaching out to touch and scratch him. Xie Lian could still be considered calm, because he judged that there was no danger to his life at the moment. Also, although this group of strange people was a bit dirty, they were not a threat. Shi Qingxuan, on the other hand, was greatly alarmed. He immediately wanted to push them away, but he heard a series of clanking sounds of iron chains. His hands and feet were ice-cold, and he couldn't move. Looking up, it turned out that he was actually handcuffed to a mottled wall by a few large iron chains that were as thick as wooden sticks, and his arms were hung high up.
Looking at the ground and the ceiling, he should have returned to the Netherworld Water Mansion. Xie Lian felt the same as him, he also had a splitting headache. Just as he wanted to say, "Lord Wind Master, calm down, I will teach you how to break free from this kind of shackles …" he suddenly realized that he actually couldn't make a sound!
Surprised, Xie Lian hurriedly examined himself. A large portion of his mana had indeed been lost. Although his soul could still stay in Shi Qingxuan's body, he couldn't use Shi Qingxuan's body, and he couldn't even open his mouth to give a hint. Could it be that the mana that Hua Cheng borrowed had already been used up?
Impossible. He was very clear about how much mana was needed to use the Soul Transfer Technique once. The mana that Hua Cheng lent him would only be more, and definitely not less. Moreover, he felt that his mana was still continuously flowing away, and he couldn't help but feel strange and anxious. At this moment, a hoarse voice sounded from the opposite side, "Qingxuan!"
Shi Qingxuan's eyes were blurry, he looked up with rapt attention, and the one who called out to him was actually Shi Wudu.
He wasn't chained up, but his white clothes were extremely dirty, and he was kneeling on the ground. Seeing that Shi Qingxuan had woken up, his face revealed a look of joy, and he seemed to want to come over, but he was immediately kicked down by the person beside him, and he knelt down again. That person stood with his hands behind his back, his expression was cold and gloomy, and his skin was so white that it made one's heart feel cold. It was that Black Water Xuan Ghost, or rather, He Xuan.
Behind him, there was a divine altar, and four jet-black and glossy urns stood calmly on top of the divine altar. Two torn fans were thrown on the ground, they were the Wind Master's Fan and the Water Master's Fan.
Father, mother, sister, fiancée.
He Xuan said, "Kowtow."
Shi Wudu stared at Shi Qingxuan, and said, "Okay."
With one word, he actually really knelt in front of the divine altar, and kowtowed dozens of times towards the four urns. After kowtowing, he stood up slightly, but He Xuan stepped heavily on his head, and said coldly, "Did I allow you to get up?"
Shi Wudu immediately bled from this stomp, and he gritted his teeth, "… No."
His brother, who used to be so proud that he wouldn't even lower his head, had his face stepped on to the ground. Although he knew that the retribution he deserved was ten times worse than this, blood was thicker than water, and he still couldn't bear to see it. Shi Qingxuan said, "Brother …"
Hearing this, He Xuan's cold eyes swept over. Even if he couldn't lift his head, Shi Wudu knew that this was bad, and immediately shouted, "You shut up!"
After thinking for a moment, He Xuan removed the boot from his head. Shi Wudu was trembling with fear, but he couldn't get up, and he said in a low voice, "Qingxuan!"
He Xuan walked over slowly. The group of crazy people were very afraid of him, and they screamed and ran away, but they still secretly looked at Shi Qingxuan, as if they were coveting something on him. Shi Qingxuan was chained to the wall, and looking at this face that he should have been very familiar with slowly approaching, he felt that it was extremely unfamiliar.
He Xuan squatted down in front of him, paused, and opened his mouth to ask, "Is the vernacular true immortal scary?"
He asked calmly, and Shi Qingxuan's eyes were straight, his lips trembled, and he couldn't say a word.
The vernacular true immortal of the past was already extremely terrifying, and this person who swallowed the vernacular true immortal was ten times and a hundred times more terrifying than the nightmares of his youth. And this fear was something that he should have endured a long time ago.
Shi Wudu said, "He Xuan, I will take responsibility for my own actions, it was my idea to use you to block the disaster, this matter has nothing to do with my brother."
He Xuan sneered, "Nothing to do with it?"
He stared at Shi Qingxuan, and said word by word, "Your brother is a mortal with mediocre talent, and he was able to ascend to the sky, and his glory is boundless, and what he took is my destiny, and what he enjoyed is my godhood. You tell me, this has nothing to do with him? "
This sentence, every word was like a knife, every knife piercing the heart, and it was said for Shi Qingxuan to hear. Even though Shi Qingxuan knew the ins and outs of the matter, he couldn't help but lower his head, feeling that he would never be able to lift it up in this lifetime. Shi Wudu forced himself to be calm, and said, "You … since you have always been by his side, you should know that I didn't lie to you, with his personality, he can't hide things, he really didn't know anything from the beginning to the end!"
He Xuan said sternly, "It is precisely because of this that it is even more hateful! What right does he have to not know anything?! "
Shi Qingxuan lowered his head even more.
What right does he have to suck other people's blood, step on other people's corpses to ascend to the heavens, but he can enjoy all of this with a clear conscience and without any burden?
He Xuan said again, "You didn't know at the beginning, and you didn't know afterwards?!"
Shi Qingxuan raised his head, and said with a trembling voice, "Brother Ming, I …"
He Xuan shouted, "Shut up!"
His face was almost ferocious, Shi Qingxuan took a look, and shivered, and kept quiet out of fear. He Xuan suddenly got up, and walked around the Netherworld Underwater Manor, and growled in a low voice, "I gave you a chance!"
Shi Qingxuan closed his eyes and clenched his fists. Xie Lian thought of the extremely angry "Good!" in Bogu Town. And the scene when Shi Qingxuan wanted to follow Pei Ming to the East Sea, and 'Ming Yi' stopped him.
However, every time, Shi Qingxuan still chose to help Shi Wudu.
He said in a low voice, "… I'm sorry."
He Xuan stopped and asked, "Your sorry, what is it?"
The row of four cinerary urns was placed right in front of Shi Qingxuan, as if mocking him. This light apology made people feel more and more pain, burning their hearts and liver, as if no matter what he said, he would be beaten back to his original state. Shi Qingxuan said, "… I know it's useless, but I …"
He Xuan said indifferently, "But you what? You know it's useless, but you still want to try your best to show your sincerity, hoping to move me, hoping that I can let go of my hatred and resolve the grudge? "
Shi Qingxuan hurriedly said, "No! That's not it! I didn't mean that! I just … I just, I really feel very sorry for you. Really. Ming … He … Young Master He. I know that my brother and I are both wrong. At this point, there is no way to remedy it, so … "
He Xuan listened and said, "So?"
At this moment, any more words would be useless. Shi Qingxuan tried hard for a while, but he really could not continue. He Xuan said coldly, "Say it, why don't you continue? So are you willing to die to atone for your sins? "
Shi Qingxuan was stunned. Shi Wudu could not take it anymore and said, "He Xuan!!! The culprit is me, a Perfected Immortal, but Qingxuan himself does not deserve to die, you … "
He Xuan said, "Then who is guilty of my family of five? Who died again? "
Shi Wudu choked. He Xuan continued to ask, "Speak. Are you willing? "
"…" Shi Qingxuan said in a low voice, "I am."
Hearing this, He Xuan sneered. Because Shi Qingxuan lowered his head, Xie Lian could not see his expression. Even if he saw it, he would probably not be able to figure out his thoughts.
After a while, He Xuan walked away with his hands behind his back. When the group of crazy people saw him leave, they surrounded him again. Some hugged Shi Qingxuan's thighs and arms and refused to let go, some pulled his hair, some hooked his neck, all of their eyes were green, as if they wanted to eat him alive. Even though Xie Lian had lived among beggars, he still felt his hair stand on end. He thought to himself, "Who are these people? Why did the Xuan Ghost get such a bunch of lunatics here? "
Shi Qingxuan silently endured the pushing and pulling of these lunatics, not daring to make a sound. He Xuan watched coldly from the side for a while and said, "Do you know who these people are?"
A few skinny claws touched Shi Qingxuan's face and body. He did not even dare to breathe, and of course, he did not have time to think about who these people were. He shook his head. He Xuan said, "Rotten life, cheap life, a life that is worse than pigs and dogs, a life that drives people crazy."
"…"
A chill crawled through Xie Lian's heart, and he vaguely guessed what he wanted to do. Shi Wudu also understood at once, his eyes widened and he said, "… You?!"
He Xuan stood between Shi Wudu and Shi Qingxuan and said coldly, "Now, I'll give you two choices."
He pointed at Shi Wudu and said, "The first choice. You, pick one person from this group and exchange your brother's life with him. Then, get lost to the mortal world. "
Layers of blood vessels crawled up Shi Wudu's eyeballs, and his shoulders started to tremble. He Xuan said, "Since you like to exchange people's lives so much, I guess you're very familiar with this, you don't need me to teach you."
This step, if one did not look at the cause, was really vicious. Although Shi Qingxuan's original fate was not enough for him to ascend, he was still an extremely peaceful and wealthy person of leisure. Looking at these people again, all of them were either suffering from ulcers or were tortured to the point of going crazy. Obviously, all of them were people who were plagued by great calamities. If he were to exchange with them, wouldn't Shi Qingxuan end up in the same miserable state as them? This was a fate that could drive a person crazy, and from then on, he would suffer endless pain and torture.
Shi Wudu obviously failed this tribulation, and if the matter of being a true immortal was exposed, he would definitely be demoted. After being demoted to a mortal, he would not be able to exchange for Shi Qingxuan's good life. An ordinary person who was deprived of magic power and a lowly person who was rotten to the core of the earth, how could they live on?
Shi Wudu panted and gritted his teeth, "What about the second one?"
He Xuan continued, "The second one, you."
This time, he stared at Shi Qingxuan.
He said word by word, "I won't touch your life. You, right here, cut off your brother's head for me! "
With a clang, he threw a rusty knife on the ground. Shi Qingxuan stared at the knife, and his eyes widened. He Xuan said, "Then, never appear in front of me again. This way, I can pretend that you don't exist in this world. "
The hatred that was engraved in his bones had settled for hundreds of years, and finally reached the peak. Everyone could see the madness burning in his eyes, and everyone could understand that he was not just talking. After a moment of silence, Shi Wudu said hoarsely, "… I'll kill myself. Can I kill myself? "
He Xuan said, "You don't have the right to bargain with me."
Shi Wudu looked at Shi Qingxuan and muttered, "You want our lives …"
Shi Qingxuan was not as desperate as him, and hurriedly said, "Brother! Brother! Let's, let's choose the first one. The first one. "
After a while, Shi Wudu calmed down and said, "No. I choose the second one. "
"…" Shi Qingxuan was stunned, and said, "Why choose the second one? Isn't it good for all of us to live? Brother, the first one, not the second one, I really can't. "
Shi Wudu said angrily, "Shut up! You don't know me? You want me to have nothing, and then watch you become that kind of thing in the muddy ground, do you think I can do it?! You might as well anger me to death! "
Shi Qingxuan said, "Brother! Forget it … a bad life is better than a good death. Besides, actually, think about it, we … we have lived for hundreds of years, we should also … should also … "As he spoke, he seemed to have thought of how he had lived for hundreds of years, and was too ashamed to continue.
He Xuan looked at them coldly at the side. Shi Wudu struggled to get up, grabbed the rusty knife, and stumbled to the wall, grabbed his brother's shoulder, and said, "Come!" He then said in a low voice, "… Go find General Pei, ask him to take care of you."
The knife was frighteningly heavy, and full of rust, not to mention killing a person, it would be difficult to even kill a chicken. If one used such a knife to cut someone's head, both the person who cut and the person who was cut would definitely be in extreme pain. Shi Qingxuan was so scared that he could not hold it at all, and fell straight to the ground, and said, "Forget it, brother, forget it! Didn't you tell me before, everyone in the world takes care of themselves, how can others take care of us, it has always been us taking care of ourselves. Don't give me this thing, don't give it to me! "
Shi Wudu shouted, "Qingxuan! Don't be so useless! "
Then, he smiled bitterly, "… Your brother's nickname is Water Traversing the Heavens, it's not like you don't know. For so many years, I have overturned the skies and stirred up waves, if not a thousand, there are at least eight hundred. In the heavens and under the heavens, there are enemies everywhere. It's fine if I die, if I die, everything will be over, it's none of your business. If I don't die, but have nothing left, that would be a fate worse than death. If I'm not the Water God, I can't take care of you, I can't even protect myself, I'm afraid that within two days, we brothers will … Take it! "
Shi Qingxuan was so scared that he was about to cry, and he lost control, "No! No, no, no, brother, I really have no other way! Don't force me, don't give it to me!!! Help, help, help!!! "
At this time, he actually screamed for help. Shi Wudu said, "It's okay! Don't be afraid of Qingxuan, it's better to exchange your life and draw your mana … "
He Xuan looked at this point patiently, and suddenly, he kicked over. Caught off guard, Shi Wudu spat out a few mouthfuls of blood, and rolled a few times on the ground, unable to stand. Shi Qingxuan hung on the wall and shouted, "Brother!"
He Xuan said coldly, "Shut up! Stop showing your disgusting brotherly love in front of me, no one here will be moved by you! "
Unexpectedly, Shi Wudu spat out a mouthful of blood, and suddenly turned over, leaped up, and strangled Shi Qingxuan's neck. Xie Lian was shocked, and immediately felt suffocated, blood rushing to his face. Shi Qingxuan said with difficulty, "… Brother?"
Shi Wudu gritted the blood between his teeth, and said, "Qingxuan! I can't rest easy with you like this! If I die, you definitely won't be able to live in this world, why don't you leave with brother! "
As he said this, his hand suddenly exerted force, and Shi Qingxuan's vision turned black, and a dying moan escaped from his throat. Xie Lian was shocked, "Is the Water Master really going to strangle the Wind Master to death?!"
Not long after, the pressure on his throat suddenly loosened, and a large amount of air rushed in, choking Shi Qingxuan until he coughed repeatedly. It was He Xuan who stood beside them, and from his forearms, he forcefully broke Shi Wudu's two hands that were strangling his neck, and said coldly, "Did I give you a third choice?"
Shi Wudu's arms were broken, and blood spurted out like a fountain, but he laughed loudly. He Xuan threw away his two arms as if they were trash, and said, "What are you laughing at?"
Shi Wudu shook his pair of blood-stained, empty wide sleeves, and said, "I'm laughing at you, thinking that you have the upper hand! Do you think that you have endured for so many years, and now that you have finally gotten your revenge, it's very satisfying? "
He Xuan said, "Looking at you struggling at death's door, it's indeed very satisfying!"
Shi Wudu said, "Is that so? Then let me tell you, I'm also very happy! "
He used his broken arms to 'grab' He Xuan's collar, and said, "Because I see you so angry, so painful, so hateful, so hateful that your teeth are about to break, but you still can't save your loved ones. You are still a ghost in the gutter, and no matter how you stomp your feet, it's useless, because they are all long dead! And I, my younger brother, have lived for so long, and been a god official for these hundreds of years. Now, even if he can't live anymore, he has also gained, and I have won! Am I not more happy than you? Hahahahaha … "
As he listened, He Xuan's pale face gradually changed, as if a will-o '-the-wisp had lit up on the ice-cold wasteland. Suddenly, the airflow in the room seemed to have become much colder. Shi Qingxuan was terrified, and he said in a hoarse voice, "… Brother, don't say anymore, don't say anymore, okay? Brother, oh my god, what are you talking about, what nonsense are you talking about … "
He Xuan suddenly made a move, and grabbed Shi Wudu's neck, and said, "You, don't have the slightest bit of remorse!"
Shi Wudu laughed wildly, and said, "Remorse? Hmph, what a joke! To think that you're the Desperate Ghost King, Black Water Sinks Boat, and you're talking to me about remorse? Let me tell you, there's no such thing! "
Shi Qingxuan screamed, and Shi Wudu raised his head, and said, "Everything that I have today, I fought for it myself. What I don't have, I fight for it myself; what I don't have, I change it myself! My fate is up to me, not the heavens! "
This was the first time Xie Lian heard an explanation like 'my fate is up to me, not the heavens'. Even if his scalp went numb, he was still shocked. As if his horizons had been opened by Shi Wudu's righteous and unapologetic attitude, He Xuan also laughed out loud. Seeing that his face was getting more and more terrifying, Shi Qingxuan broke down, and said, "… Brother, I beg you, I beg you, can you stop talking, okay? Save me … "
Shi Wudu's arrogance didn't decrease in the slightest, and he said, "Qingxuan, brother will leave first, I'll wait for you down there. Hahahahaha … "
Before he finished speaking, He Xuan placed his hand on his head, and grabbed his hair. Shi Qingxuan was scared out of his wits, and the iron chains clanked against the wall, and he said, "Brother Ming! Brother Ming! It's all our fault, it's all my fault! My brother is like this because of me. My brother is crazy. Did you see that?! I … I … you … you … "
He wanted to beg for mercy, but he couldn't bring himself to do so. He could only stare at him and kowtow repeatedly. He Xuan slowly looked at him. After a moment, he seemed to have thought of something and calmed down a little, stopping his movements.
Seeing this, Shi Qingxuan heaved a sigh of relief as if he had grasped a glimmer of hope. Tears finally rolled down his cheeks. However, before the tears could fall to the ground, He Xuan's cold voice rang out, "You called the wrong person."
With that, he raised his hand and twisted Shi Wudu's head off his neck!
"Ahhhhh —!!!"
Shi Wudu's head was separated from his body, and fresh blood spurted out from the uneven gap on his neck, splashing onto Shi Qingxuan's body and face. Shi Qingxuan finally couldn't take it anymore and screamed like a madman.
Seeing a headless corpse standing still, it was very interesting. Those crazy people were so happy that they went crazy. They circled around him, and their bare feet left a large circle of bloody footprints. As they circled, they clapped and cheered, "Yo, yo, yo! He's dead, he's dead! "
"He's dead, he's dead! Hehehe! "
Shi Qingxuan screamed for an unknown period of time, and it was as if his soul had flown away. It was unknown when he stopped. When Xie Lian regained consciousness, he had already sat paralyzed on the bloody ground for a long time.
And He Xuan was standing not far from him, holding Shi Wudu's wide-eyed head in one hand, looking down at him from up high.
After a while, He Xuan said indifferently, "Do you have anything to say?"
"…"
Shi Qingxuan stared blankly at the row of urns on the altar in front of him and the two broken fans on the ground. After a long time, he mumbled, "… I want to die."
He Xuan said coldly, "You wish."
Then, He Xuan stretched out a hand to him, and Shi Qingxuan closed his eyes.
At the same time, Xie Lian's soul was suddenly pulled out and thrown high into the air!
