MTL - The Sword Named No Way Out-Chapter 30
The center of Taoism in the world - Daishan Xianmeng Punishment Palace, has now been reduced to Shura Hell where corpse poison and miasma are rampant. Most of the first batch of people who rushed up the mountain were monks from the Punishment Palace. They were eager to save people and lacked precautions. Many people were suddenly attacked before they reached Dingxian Mausoleum, and the poisonous miasma was inhaled into their lungs. Fortunately, Sun Chengfeng, the eldest son of the Juzong, arrived in time with his people and directed his disciples to carry the poisoned monk down the mountain for emergency treatment. The black corpse was forced to retreat.
After such a retreat, the surrounding vision finally became a little clearer, but it was only from being completely in the dark to barely being able to see the outline of the scene ten steps away.
All the disciples behind gave way to salute: "Senior White!"
Changsun Chengfeng turned his head, only to see Bai Fei stepping forward quickly, bowing down to salute: "My lord..."
Changsun Chengfeng helped him up immediately: "Why?"
Bai Xun still lowered his head cautiously and respectfully, and said: "Report to Juzong, Dingxian Mausoleum is ahead, please let me go first to explore the way."
The white scorpion has no protection, but it can come and go freely in the place where the corpses are rampant. Changsun Chengfeng pondered for a while, before he could think of a reason to object, suddenly Yu Chixiao caught a glimpse of something in the bushes a few steps away, stepped forward to take a look, and his expression changed slightly.
It was a small piece of clothing, which was caught by a sharp dead branch and hung down.
"This is…"
"Xiang Xiaoyuan."
Changsun Chengfeng said in surprise, "Nephew Xiang Xian isn't with you?"
Yu Chixiao's brows were tightly furrowed, he looked at the dark miasma in the distance, and said in a concentrated voice: "He went to Dingxian Mausoleum first."
Changsun Chengfeng thought he heard it wrong: "What is he doing there?!"
That's right, he is a low-level disciple, what is he going to do in the most dangerous Dingxian Mausoleum?
Yu Chixiao felt an indescribable weirdness in his heart, as if there was a faint secret hidden behind the thick fog, but no matter how he stretched out his hand, he couldn't touch it.
He suddenly remembered the scene when he saw Xiang Xiaoyuan for the first time. That dull little charmer stood in the front hall of the Cangyang Sect, just opened his mouth so stupidly and listened to his strong words to withdraw the marriage, and then suddenly turned back. He fell over and passed out; he remembered that not long after he divorced his relatives, the two people who were destined never to see each other came to Linjiangdu together to fight against ghost cultivators and go through life and death side by side. The situation in the world has changed so much that sometimes it is impossible for him to connect Xiang Xiaoyuan, who is full of beauty in every move, with the little charmer who fainted back then.
There is always a sense of separation in the dark, which makes him feel that when the two of them were in Linjiangdu, his memory seems to be missing a section, and subtle irrationality is hidden in the details.
But what is missing?
"What's that?" "Someone's there!"
Suddenly the disciples around shouted, Changsun Chengfeng looked up, and saw a few figures suddenly appeared not far away, all wearing spacious and tattered white robes, staggering and dragging their feet, and did not stop until ten steps away. Living.
Immediately afterwards, a more intense smell of corpses drifted to the front with the wind.
"Is it the mausoleum guard?" "The mausoleum guard is still alive?"
The disciples speculated one after another, and the impatient ones couldn't help striding forward to ask: "Brother, is Xunshu Palace okay? How are the leader Ying and Master Jianzong? You are... ah!"
Changsun Chengfeng and Yu Chixiao suddenly changed their expressions at the same time: "Come back!"
Before the words were finished, Changsun Chengfeng waved his sleeve violently, and a platinum arm with a length of several feet shot out from his arm, instantly snatching the screaming disciple back in the air, and the wind blade twisted the shady corpse back In an instant, the true faces of those "comers" were revealed—
Their faces are rotten, their eyes are cloudy, and they are dressed in mortuary clothes. They are wandering corpses!
"Stand back! Concentrate!" Changsun Chengfeng yelled: "Dingxian Mausoleum has shocked corpses, don't rush in!"
At this time, a sharp wind suddenly passed by his side, and he took a closer look: "Young Master Yuchi?!"
Yu Chixiao flattened the startled corpse with a sword, and the red-gold circular sword light broke through more than ten feet of black mist. With this light, everyone was horrified to find that there were many horrified corpses hidden not far away, all with hideous faces, all pointing in the direction of the living.
Changsun Chengfeng shouted: "Come back! It's too dangerous ahead, you can't—"
Before the words finished, Yu Chixiao interrupted: "I entrust you here!"
The last word has gone away, I saw his complexion was serious, and Yujian went straight to Dingxianling!
·
At the same time, the underground palace.
Gong Wei dragged the unconscious Ying Kai and Yu Chirui one by one, as if dragging two large bags, and turned the corner panting.
The long stone staircase spiraled upwards, and the two rows of black candles emitted a faint green light, reflecting several pale figures in the shadows ahead. Gong Wei's body that hadn't formed an alchemy originally didn't have much spiritual power, and it was almost exhausted by now, so he could only hum a few words of that weird tune weakly.
Those figures receded slowly, but probably because of insufficient mana, they still wandered around maliciously.
"Go." Gong Wei's complexion changed, and he said harshly in that weird and obscure tone that no one could understand: "Catch Fahua Immortal Venerable for me, and I will reward you with his golden elixir, go!"
Fortunately, many masters with high spiritual power in Dingxianling were almost settled by Ying Kai and Yu Chirui in a fierce battle overnight, and the remaining ordinary corpses were not very troublesome.
The zombies shook slightly for a while, and then slowly retreated, disappearing into the dark depths full of corpse aura.
"...Ying Kai..." Yu Chirui was dragged on the ground by the back of his neck, and said dizzily, "I seem to be under an illusion..."
Ying Kai was unconscious and unable to give him an answer.
This is not because of the seriousness of the injury, but a profound method of Taoism—it automatically enters the state of "holding the essence and guarding the one" when it is seriously injured, temporarily withdrawing the five senses from the outside world, and quickly repairing the injured soul with the powerful primordial spirit. pulse.
Among the sects in the whole world, there are only a few senior masters who can reach this level. Among them, Ying Kai's cultivation base in this area is the most profound and exquisite. No matter how serious the injury is, it is difficult to put him to death. Therefore, even Xu Shuangce said back then that Ying Kai had established the image of a great master in the future from the very beginning of foundation building. In terms of the continuous and endless circulation of spiritual power, no one in the world can match him.
"You deserve it, I told you not to look into other people's eyes." Gong Wei struggled to drag them forward with Bara, without looking back and asked, "What did you see in the illusion?"
Yu Chirui was spread out in large characters, and was dragged up the bronze steps step by step, dying and full of fear, he said: "I...I seem to have heard Gong Zhengyu singing..."
Gong Wei was silent for a while, and said softly: "Changsheng, I will give you one last chance to live, grasp it yourself."
Yu Chirui immediately fell into silence. He only heard the rustling sound of the clothes being rubbed against the steps, and it took him a while to hear his very small whisper:
"...I saw my father."
What you see in the illusion is usually the memory you fear the most, Gong Wei said in astonishment: "What? It's not Xu Shuangce who hung you up and beat you because you didn't finish your homework?"
The black candles they passed swayed slightly, causing shadows to also sway on the stone wall, huge and strange in shape. Yu Chirui didn't say a word, his soul was still immersed in the vain and painful illusion, he said hoarsely for a while: "I really killed my father, Ying Kai?"
Gong Wei said carelessly: "Hey, what are you thinking about? Isn't this the old Jianzong's own opportunistic way of cultivation? I said earlier that there is no shortcut to Feisheng, and I should eat and drink well. This life is over. "
Yu Chirui closed his eyes tightly with a pained expression, not knowing whether he had listened or not. After a while, he seemed to think of something again, and struggled slightly, as if he was trying to get out of the deep illusion:
"... Fahua Immortal Venerable..."
Gong Wei could only comfort him: "I know, I know, Fahua Immortal Venerable cheated his corpse and ran away, so I'll bring him back here."
But Yu Chirui turned a deaf ear and asked pantingly, "Ying Kai, why do you think Gong Wei...why did he kill Xu Shuangce?"
Gong Wei dragged the two of them up to the last step of the bronze steps, finally straightened up, and wiped off his sweat exhaustedly.
"Because it has to be," he whispered with a sigh.
At this time, they had come to the end of the steps, and after turning the corner, there was a long tomb passage. Gong Wei took a breath, and was about to continue dragging the two of them forward, but suddenly stopped.
I saw a tall figure suddenly appearing in the tomb passage, with a brown battle robe on the back of an eagle, and armguards of red gold armor, with a fierce and stern aura, and two withered black and ferocious hands exposed from under the arrow sleeves, looking for the sound to slowly move towards the living look back.
The dark green flame of the black candle reflected the rotting face under the helmet.
Gong Wei took half a step back silently, and said in a trembling voice, "...what are you talking about, Changsheng."
——That turned out to be Yu Chirui's biological father, an old sword sect from the previous generation!
Kara! The dead body turned around, and the sacrificial armor collided and made a sharp sound.
Gong Wei broke out in a cold sweat, turned around and pulled Yu Chirui over, and pulled his hair to reveal his face: "Master Jianzong, stay awhile, we didn't mean to disturb your long sleep, you see, this is your own son..."
Kara! The corpse's heavy armor hit the ground again, and it took another step forward.
"Let's go now, as long as you let us go, we will leave with our family within a stick of incense. You see, this is the legendary leader Ying, who is so powerful that he speaks his word..."
Kara! Kara! Kara!
The dead body came striding forward with its sword raised, Gong Wei shoved Ying Kai and Wei Chi Rui back behind him at the same time, and blurted out a sharp chant filled with the last spiritual power!
At this moment, a hand suddenly stretched out from behind, tightly covering the tail tune of his broken voice.
Immediately after the dead body slashed down with a sword, at the moment when the fierce wind was blowing towards his face, someone drew his sword "Clang!" and blocked it firmly!
It's Yu Chixiao!
Gong Wei's action is like seeing a savior, after all, it is most suitable for the ancestors of Yejinmen to be cleaned up by the descendants of Yejinmen. I saw Yu Chixiao swooping down like a shooting star, and with a single effort, he knocked out the sword tightly held by the dead body, hit the stone wall of the tomb with a bang, and fell to the ground again; the dead body was about to go back to pick it up, but was Yu Chixiao backhanded the hilt of the sword like lightning, chopping heavily on the back of his neck.
— Click!
The red gold armor couldn't withstand this powerful blow, it cracked and shattered immediately, and the decayed back of the neck bone snapped off!
The head of the corpse was tilted to one side in an extremely unnatural posture, and then fell to the ground with a loud bang, and finally stopped moving.
"..."
The tomb passage was quiet for a few breaths, Gong Wei clapped his hands and praised sincerely: "Young hero is mighty! Well done!"
Yu Chixiao said indifferently: "When my grandfather passed away, the sea of qi was already cut off, and there is no spiritual power left. As long as he can do it, he can be subdued." Then he put away the Gou Chen sword, and came forward to check his uncle and Ying quickly. Seeing that neither of the leader's lives was in danger, the two leaders breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Where did you find them? What happened next?"
Gong Wei faintly felt that the other party's attitude seemed a bit weird.
But based on his study and understanding of the world and human affairs, he didn't know where the weirdness was. After thinking about it, he said nonsense: "I don't know what this place is, um, I got lost and I was very scared. When I came in I saw Master Ying and Master Jianzong lying at the door..."
Yu Chixiao interrupted him suddenly by raising his hand, picked up Ying Kai to support Yu Chirui, said without doubt: "This place is dangerous, talk while walking." Then he strode forward.
He is tall and has long legs, and his steps are much bigger than Gong Wei. Gong Wei hurriedly trotted to follow, and cleverly ignored the four golden coffins he saw in the deepest part of the ground and the fact that the "Fahua Immortal" had escaped with fraudulent corpses, and asked bluntly, "What are you doing?" Who found us? Where is Master Juzong? What kind of place is this place?"
Yu Chixiao said: "This is Dingxian Mausoleum."
"Those people outside...why are those corpses running?"
Yu Chixiao kept walking, and said: "This is called a startled corpse, which means that after the death of a master, he is bumped by a living person, and the corpse starts to stir up trouble. Originally it was very rare, and it was the first time I encountered it."
Gong Wei let out a long "Oh—" as if suddenly realizing.
"There are no less than a thousand monks buried in Dingxian Mausoleum. When I entered the mausoleum just now, I saw many startled masters who had been beheaded twice in the tomb passage. The traces were all caused by the divine sword 'Ding Shanhai'. Why." Yu Chixiao paused, and said: "It must be that the leader Ying entered the tomb for some unknown reason last night, and unfortunately triggered a series of fraudulent corpses, so he had to draw his sword to break through in a hurry; Master Jianzong came to rescue again, and the two ended up together Got stuck in it."
Gong Wei patted his chest and said sincerely: "So that's the case! It's really scary!"
Yu Chixiao didn't answer, dragging a big stride up the bronze steps at the end of the tomb passage.
Gong Wei ran after him, feeling more and more confused in his heart, as if he had never seen such a young master Yuchi. But his understanding of the human heart is limited, and he has no ability to perceive the dark and subtle emotional changes of others. He can only rely on instinct to understand it bluntly. After thinking about it, he has nothing to ask: "Master Ying and Master Jianzong ?”
Yu Chixiao said briefly: "Hold Yuan Shou Yi, nothing will happen."
He has always been walking like flying and looking forward, not even giving a superfluous look. Gong Wei had no place to show his acting skills, so he could only say: "I don't know what happened to the two seniors to be seriously injured like this. I'm afraid there are many shocking corpses lurking in this tomb..."
"Fa Hua Xianzun," Yu Chixiao interrupted suddenly.
"what?"
Gong Wei was slightly stunned, only to hear Yu Chixiao calmly say: "With the abilities of the leader of the alliance and the sword sect, there has never been a person who can knock them down in an instant in the entire history of Taoism, even if Fei Zong is in this world, he can't do it. One possibility is that the remains of the old man made them both reluctant to fight back, and the only one who can satisfy this point in the whole world is Fahua Immortal Venerable."
Gong Wei was stunned for a moment, and asked suspiciously, "Can't bear to fight back?"
Yu Chixiao asked back: "Otherwise?"
"But that's already a corpse."
Yu Chixiao finally glanced at him while walking forward, although it was a strange look: "It is precisely because it is the remains of someone close to me, so I can't bear to slaughter it."
"..."
Gong Weixin said that you are really strange. It is obvious that when a person dies, there is nothing left. The body is nothing more than a pile of flesh, but some people treat it as if it is a living person and cannot bear to fight back. Some people are so emotional and hateful that they want to kill the corpse. cannot.
But thinking about it this way, he recalled Xu Shuangce reprimanded him in public for the first time when he was very young in his previous life. It seemed that it was because he was taken to a funeral by an adult, and ended up being so bored that he ran to talk to the corpse at the funeral. play. At that time, even Ying Kai was furious, and carried him all the way out of the mourning hall. Xu Shuangce asked him what it was—it seems that everyone in the world is the same, and they have an unusually strong love and hatred for corpses, and even Xu Shuangce is not immune.
Just as he was thinking about it, Yu Chixiao said flatly: "Speaking of which, it's really a fate that you didn't bump into Fahua Immortal Venerable all the way."
Gong Wei said casually: "I don't know, I just walked around like this..."
His voice paused, his heart cleared, and he finally understood where Yu Chixiao's strange attitude was—
From the time we met to now, he never took the initiative to ask how he found this mausoleum!
Has he noticed something?
Gong Wei raised his eyes to see that Yu Chixiao was still striding forward, and he couldn't see anything unusual from the back.
When he blinked, his right pupil glowed a bright red, and after blinking again, it turned back to black like ordinary people. He seemed a little uncertain, and he tentatively asked for a while: "Young man?"
Yu Chixiao said: "What?"
"Will you turn around?"
Yu Chixiao ignored it, but his voice was still steady: "What are you doing?"
Gong Wei's eyes blinked again, and now his right pupil completely turned into a jewel-like clear red, and he smiled slyly and said, "You don't look back at me, so I can only look at you."
Yu Chixiao's footsteps stopped suddenly.
But Gong Wei hadn't had time to make a move, at this moment, there was a sudden sound of messy footsteps on the steps ahead, followed by a group of monks rushing over, and the leader was Sun Chengfeng, the eldest son of Juzong!
Gong Wei's right pupil turned back to black in an instant, and he saw that the eldest grandson Chengfeng had come quickly, his always easy-going face was more serious than ever before, and he immediately took over the unconscious Ying Kai from Yu Chixiao: "What's going on? What happened? What happened next?" He asked his disciples to help Yu Chirui, frowned and said, "Master Jian Zong, have you fallen into an illusion?"
Yu Chixiao said: "My lord, I'm afraid Fahua Immortal Venerable shocked the corpse."
Changsun Chengfeng paused on the spot.
But after that rest, he immediately regained his composure, and whispered to his disciples: "Immediately **** the leader and Jianzong out of the mausoleum. Master Yizong Mu Duozhu sent his disciples to take care of him, and they have already arrived outside Dingxian Mausoleum. "
The two disciples quickly took the order to leave, and the eldest grandson Chengfeng turned to Yu Chixiao again, and said softly: "Nephew, to be honest, the shocking corpse is a scandal in the Taoist sect that few people know about. Moreover, once the shocking corpse in the underground palace escapes, it may be very dangerous. Countless lives will be lost, so without further ado..."
He meant to ask Ye Jinmen's young master to help him clean up the many shocking corpses, but Yu Chixiao, who has always been very capable, interrupted him without hesitation: "I understand what Master Juzong means. It's just that I Ye Jinmen elder Jianzong's corpse is now exposed outside, please wait for me to collect and bury my grandfather first, and then rush back to assist you in clearing up the shocking corpse in Dingxian Mausoleum."
Changsun Chengfeng didn't even have time to persuade him politely, so Yu Chixiao turned around and waved to Gong Weiyi: "—Come here, what are you doing here?"
Gong Wei was silently crouching in a corner to reduce his sense of presence, and was stunned when he heard the words.
Under the eyes of everyone, I saw Yu Chixiao raised his eyebrows, his expression was a bit stern: "You are my future Taoist partner, you are not going to restrain my grandfather's bones with me, why don't you wait for me to invite you?"
"..."
Gong Wei was speechless, cupped his hands amidst the many strange sights around him, and said with an apologetic smile: "Yes, yes."
The eldest grandson Chengfeng was even more speechless than Gong Wei, but thousands of words are deadly, and it is really not good to stop other juniors from confiscating the remains of their ancestors, so they had to repeatedly tell: "Those two virtuous nephews, pay attention to safety, be sure to hurry up!" Go back quickly."
Gong Wei covered his face with one hand, pretending not to see the different expressions of other people, and followed Yu Chixiao back along the tomb passage.
They walked for a stick of incense just now to meet up with Juzong and others, but now they are traveling lightly and faster, and in less than a quarter of an hour, they returned to the underground palace on the next level along the bronze steps. The tomb path where the old sword sect shocked the corpse.
Yu Chixiao stopped suddenly, gestured, and said softly, "Listen."
What's wrong?
Gong Wei subconsciously turned her ear to the direction he was pointing at, but she didn't hear anything unusual, she turned her head blankly and said, "I didn't..."
His movements froze suddenly.
Gou Chen Jianfeng was pressing against his throat, blood spattered three feet at the slightest movement, as cold as Yu Chixiao's voice behind him: "Who the **** are you?"
Gong Wei's eyes widened slightly.
"When you encountered the corpse of the old sword sect just now, you sang a curse word to the corpse, and you stopped suddenly when I arrived-I have heard that sentence before, it is one of the highest forbidden techniques of Taoism specially used to talk to the dead One, the magic spell of densely communicating yin and yang chaos."
"You are not that timid low-level disciple." Yu Chixiao's tense voice came from above his head, asking, "Who are you?"
