The scattered sand and gravel were filled with a thick smell of blood, which pervasively deprived the nose of breath.

Gu Qiqiang endured the tumbling of the river and the sea in his stomach and held Liu Mu's hand tightly.

The entire ancient temple was collapsing, more and more boulders fell from the roof, and the ground began to crack rapidly, accompanied by the violent turmoil like the collapse of the sky and the earth, and huge cracks appeared out of thin air, like a bottomless abyss. And what will be under the abyss, will it be endless darkness, or will there be a hell from which there will be no return?

"We're thinking the same thing, aren't we?"

At the moment when their eyes met, Gu Qi asked anxiously.

"Yes. ”

Liu Mu nodded immediately, and then quickly looked away, concentrating on finding a passable path among the flying sand and rocks, half-hugging Gu Qi's shoulders and moving towards the gate of the Dragon Maiden Temple, explaining in a low tone.

"It's just an illusion, and although I can't explain how the illusion came about and how we got into it, one thing is clear - that Liu Nansheng has a problem. He said that he was cooperating, but in his heart he had his own little calculations, saying that it was to trouble us to solve the deadlock of Liuzhen's sacrifice for him, but he did not tell the real situation. Those polite words on the surface are good, but in fact, they are silently left behind, no wonder his attitude is so vague. ”

The same strange Gu Qi also sensed that Liu Mu spoke lightly, perhaps because he didn't want to put too much pressure on the girls around him.

In fact, Gu Shi knew better than anyone that the situation they faced was far more dangerous than expected.

That confrontation is the process of revealing the mystery between the two sides, and it is also the process of integrating all the secrets that are secretive, Liu Nansheng's words are not completely false, the legend of the witch clan is true, the terrible curse left by the saint is real, under the guidance of the black saint, Liu Nansheng once tried to stop the reincarnation of the witch clan, but in the end it was also true.

The real side is all the risk of the trip, and the false side is the illusory possibility.

When this sacrifice begins, there can be no survivors.

Liu Nansheng needs someone to wake up the holy woman who is silent in the Dragon Maiden Temple, break the boundary between reality and illusion, and use the power of the undead to drive the sacrifice that should not have existed, but this plan against the sky is supposed to pay a price - he clearly wants to let the two strangers be substitutes for the dead ghosts to end the disaster in Liuzhen.

Gu Qi thought about these things thoroughly, but now was not the time to complain, so she had to bite her tongue fiercely and force herself to calm down quickly, only then did she recover some thoughts from the many shocks and pick up the key points.

"So it's all fake, we're in a dream?"

"None of this is true, but it's not entirely false...... Do you know the mirage, the scenes in the mirage are all real, but the time and space are wrong. You can understand that we are in a mirage, and this temple of the dragon maiden is not the temple of the dragon maiden that we should see, but the remains of the fire that happened a few years ago, the fire on the altar burned, and the tragedy had just ended, and it began again. The sacrifice of the witch clan did not end, but continued in this strange form of time and space distortion, and the holy woman wanted to keep us here as her burial objects. ”

"So what should we do?"

Although everything Liu Mu said was full of incredible weirdness, and for an atheist, it was no less absurd than a fantasy, but Gu Qi instinctively chose to believe it, and didn't even ask him why he knew it.

"It doesn't matter, you just have to believe that everything in front of you is not real, and the dilemma is half solved....... The sacrifice has just begun, everything is full of uncertainties, as long as we hold on until the end of the illusion, we can return to reality. ”

Before Liu Mu's words fell, a boulder rolled down from the roof of the temple.

The dust stirred up by the sand and gravel is in the increasingly strong smell of blood, as if to smoke people directly to faint, there is almost no place to settle in the strong shock like an earthquake, and outside the Dragon Maiden Temple is the pouring rain that will drown everything, the miserable white lightning tears the sky through the terrible opening, and the rolling thunder is invading the mind all the time.

Then came Gu Qi's exclamation.

Liu Mu's eyes flashed with obvious nervousness, and he watched the boulder fall on Gu Qi's leg, and the girl who was protected by him fell to the ground.

Red blood flowed down her calves, and her delicate face twisted with pain. Facing Shang Liu Mu's concerned gaze, Gu Qi tried to pull the corners of his lips and wanted to silently express that he was fine, but this kind of reassurance was minimal, and the pale lips and the fine and dense cold sweat on the corners of his forehead had said everything.

"Expectancy ......"

How long has it been since you've been nervous about anything?

Liu Mu didn't have time to think about it, many things were decided at the moment of life and death, and the answer could be reached between lightning and fire.

Like at this moment.

Countless ideas have been drilled into his mind, known as an open-minded person, more than once to explain those fox friends around him, "Emotional things are nothing more than the old does not go to the new, there is no need to be too concerned about which girl, why is it that people are still immortals, and there is no other home?"

Liu Mu once asserted conclusively that people who die in love and love are big fools, and he has to feel more about what every delicate flower in the big forest looks like, he will not hang himself on a tree, and he can't be a big fool.

But now, he suddenly figured out a lot of things.

If you really care, why don't you admit that love without sacrifice and giving is still love?

Or, isn't it precisely because of the unaffordability that can be done in the past, that love has become more moving.

The cracks in the roof became bigger and bigger, more stones fell, and the entire Dragon Maiden Temple was about to collapse. The boulder smashed on Liu Mu's back, but he didn't feel the pain, he just gritted his teeth fiercely, stretched out his arm and wrapped it around Gu Qi's side, and carefully removed the stone on the girl's leg with his other hand.

"How's it going, does it hurt, you ....... Move around first, can you still stand up?"

Gu Qi felt that her hands were a little sticky, but she didn't feel any pain, and when she raised her head urgently, she saw that blood was flowing down Liu Mu's shoulders, falling on the back of her hand drop by drop.

"Are you hurt? what's going on, does it hurt?"

In response to her was Liu Mu's casual smile, and he was still in the mood to comfort her until this moment.

"Don't worry, I will definitely take you out of here, intact. ”

"Liu Mu, you let go. ”

Gu Qi's eyes were a little red, and her voice was a little hoarse, as if it had a strong smell of blood.

"Leave me alone, get out now...... The Dragon Maiden Temple is about to collapse, if you delay any longer, none of us will be able to leave, this is not the time to be a hero, you don't need to ....... There's no need to ....... for me."

"Teacher Gu, why do you still think I'm just a hero?"

Before Gu Qi's words were finished, he was interrupted by Liu Mu's half-low laughter.

His eyebrows sank, his usual peach blossom eyes were playful, and his words were hard to hear in the thunder, but they were unexpectedly a little gentle.

"Listen to me, we'll be fine, either go out with you or don't go out at all. ”

Liu Mu said this, the fishiness in his throat became more and more turbulent, and the pain could not affect the resoluteness between his words, this word was so cautious, it was clearly a beautiful flirtatious word, but it was almost like a promise left at the moment of life and death.

"Die under the peony skirt, and be a ghost is also ....... It's not bad to die with you, is it?"

There was really no way to answer this, and Liu Mu didn't expect Gu Qi to give an answer.

Gu Qi raised her head and looked at the man in front of her, there was obvious surprise in her eyes, she really didn't understand what the situation was with this young master.

Why did such a scene of life and death become less serious in his mouth?

Liu Mu's heart is too big and he doesn't understand what life is and what death is, so he will make such an understatement of promises. Or really see everything very thoroughly, as if money and mundane things are not enough, only sincerity is the most precious thing in the world. Such a young master who grew up wrapped in a honey pot has always reached out to come when he wants, everything is too easy, he can tell what real love is, and does he know what to cherish?

As he keeps saying he likes.......

Is it with the arrogance and wanton of youth and sorrow, or with the whim of the blessing that cannot be sought? If the good feeling is only from the freshness, if the love in the heart cannot sustain a relationship for a long time....... If Liu Mu likes nothing more than the bright moon high above, when the bright moon is in his arms, it will only be an insignificant chill in his sleeves.

What happens after this relationship?

Gu Qi had to admit that she was indeed tempted, but when it came to emotion, was it useful to be tempted alone?

She once consumed all her mental energy in a fruitless love, and the little enthusiasm she had left could allow her to accompany the young master who thought that she was in love, which was also something that Gu Qi had been worried about.

But what does it matter?

Gu Qi has made countless assumptions about whether he will believe Liu Mu.

But at this moment, many questions have become meaningless, in the moment of life and death, all the love is real, she saw in Liu Mu's eyes that she has never seen care and firmness, this is more moving than all the empty tenderness and sweetness, isn't it already the best interpretation of sincerity?

Thinking like this, Gu Qi stretched out her arms around Liu Mu's shoulder, this was her first active hug.

A lot of things changed in silence, and then Gu Qi laughed almost with relief.

"Okay, let's ....... together Whether you live or die, I will be with you. ”

The moment another boulder fell, a faint blue light emanated from the ancient temple.

The faint blue light seemed to guide the door of the underworld to open, and the light that seemed to be real and not real inexplicably made people feel chills down their spines.

With the spreading light, the wind and rain in the outside world became more and more intense, and the miserable white electric light reflected the scene inside the Dragon Maiden Temple, and the stone statue enshrined in the center showed its clues, and it also changed with the light of the thunder and lightning. The blood condensed into dark red smoke, and the blooming mandala flowers entangled the gods, clinging to them inch by inch.

The corners of the goddess's lips rose in a strange arc in the dust, as if mocking the insignificance of living beings, despising the senseless struggles filled with greed.

But the sand and gravel stained her eyes, and she actually fell to the ground with a tear.

Then a dark blue pearl was gradually revealed in the void.
