This dark and narrow space is bumping up and down.

Xu Xiaofei couldn't move, after he was fed poisonous wine by Tang Xuanzhu, he still used heavy hands to control it, and even his consciousness was confused for a while.

The illusion of a mirror-like water and moon suddenly appeared in front of me......

Dream II

The wind blows, the water sways.

The ice water of the cold winter wax moon is just a little cool for him.

He was half-asleep, lying on the water, with the sound of waves crashing in his ears.

The smell of alcohol lingered on the tip of his nose, and he seemed to have drunk a lot of wine, and his skull ached. What year, month, where? He didn't care.

Approaching the riverbank, the voices of people suddenly drifted in with the cool breeze.

"Did the man drown?"

"On such a cold day, you would have frozen to death a long time ago, right?"

"God, a floating corpse!"

……

He still had his eyes closed, lying motionless in the waves, too lazy to get up.

What if the clothes are soaked? What about being considered a floating corpse? The water is shaky and unstrained, a little softer than the softest bed.

The small chatter coming from the shore of the lake suddenly fell silent.

"Knock"

He seemed to hear the sound of someone falling into the water—

After a few moments, a hand wrapped around his waist and put him on his back, and he swam back with all his might.

The body fell to solid ground, and he was taken ashore.

Who is it...... Have a finger in the pie?

A drop of water fell on the man's cheek and the ends of his hair.

The man's gasp was heavy.

The whole body was trembling in the cold wind, and the heart was beating faster and faster, and it became more and more messy.

Obviously such a thin body, the winter clothes covered with the body seem to be too thin, this person is afraid that even a full meal will be a problem, but he has to jump into the water and pick up a "floating corpse" that he doesn't know.

The man was still muttering something, but it was too faint for him to hear.

He finally opened his eyes.

He had to open it, because he could feel that the person who saved him was originally weak, and at this moment he came out of the ice water, and as soon as the cold wind blew, the remaining fire of life was about to be extinguished almost immediately. Of course, he must not ignore this man's death for himself.

“…… Is that you?"

He sat up, caught the man's crumbling body, and when he could see his face clearly, he suddenly gasped.

"It's alive!"

"People aren't dead?"

……

The commotion from the crowd seemed to be far away, and he only heard the man say softly: "You really are not dead, you are not dead." He seemed to be completely unaware of his situation, and a smile appeared on his bloodless pale face.

"I knew you, you didn't die so easily......"

He was unconscious in his arms.

Xu Xiaofei woke up, and he was still in Tang Xuanzhu's cramped dark magic weapon.

I was stunned for a long time.

It was a dream, but he knew it had happened.

The coolness of the water waves brushing through his body, the trembling hand when the man held him, and the last relieved and miserable smile - his lips had been frozen into blue, and he remembered them one by one now, and they were still so clear.

"What a fool. He whispered dreamily.

For a moment, he almost forgot about the perilous situation he was in...... Drift back into the dream of unknown years.

In the Spirit Snake Palace, Bai Fei stared at the strange visitor in front of him.

He held the token of the master, that is, the previous high priest Feng Xi, and sent the legendary "Seven Treasures Heavenly Lotus Heart" here.

He frowned and suddenly asked, "My master, how did you die?"

He could perceive that as soon as this man stepped into the palace, the puppet master who was close to him woke up from his slumber. There was an uncontrollable tremor from the ground, as if the heart was unsettled.

On the contrary, Tang Xuanzhu's expression was calm and unwavering: "Feng Xi, how did he die, why don't you ask him yourself?"

Although he knew it in his heart, he didn't want to mention it more. At the beginning, the Heavenly Extreme Dan's Dan Fang no longer existed, and even the Earth Extreme Dan Fang was destroyed, and his master avoided it like a snake and scorpion, bent on completely exterminating the Shen family, how could he leave these two Dan Fangs? However, he still found clues, pieced together, and made up a remnant formula, and asked Feng Xi to deduce and perfect it for him.

Feng Xi was exhausted and exhausted, and even a piece of green silk turned into a white ...... After all, the Dan Fang of the Earth Pole Dan will be completed. He died of exhaustion. Before he died, he used his last spiritual power to calculate two hexagrams, one hexagram for him to calculate whether he could see Shen Jinglan again, and the other hexagram seemed to be for Feng Xi's own apprentice.

Even if he died because of himself, he was willing.

Bai Fei's eyes looked at Tang Xuanzhu with deep eyes, and after a long time, Fang said, "Where is the 'Seven Treasure Heavenly Lotus Heart' you said?"

Soon after Tang Xuanzhu left, Lin Yan also came to ask for a meeting, he had already left Miao Jiang and went to Zhongzhou.

Bai Fei looked at the people who had gone and returned, but he didn't show much surprise.

"What's the matter with you?"

Lin Yan said: "That little friend named Xu Xiaofei, the sect leader once asked me to take care of him, but my subordinates found out that he was taken captive to Miao Jiang, has the high priest ever seen him?"

"He's right here. Bai Fei said calmly, "He is the 'Seven Treasure Heavenly Lotus Heart' that is missing in the Earth Pole Pill Formula, and I am planning to use him to open a furnace for alchemy." You want to take him away?"

"Is he really?"

"As Danfang said, the medicinal properties of the Seven Treasures Heavenly Lotus Heart can turn the petals of the saffron flower into a dark blue. I have taken his blood and examined it, and it is. ”

Lin Yan nodded: "Then that's another matter." In this case, the high priest will entertain me for a few more days, and I will wait for the Extreme Dan to be refined before leaving. If there is anything lacking in the immortal material, just let me know, and I will send it immediately. ”

"It's okay, you can stay a few more days. Bai Fei promised.

Lin Yan was considered a regular guest in the Spirit Snake Palace, and he didn't need a priest to lead the way, so he hurriedly walked somewhere.

Just now, Bai Feiyan said that he didn't need to prepare for alchemy, and Tang Xuanzhu was conducting a preliminary refining of the Seven Treasure Heavenly Lotus Heart, if he was free, he could help.

As soon as he walked outside the house where Xu Xiaofei was being held, he heard a voice.

"Is this what people eat, and you just serve these things to your guests?"

Turning into the house, he saw a large plate of colorful dishes in front of Xu Xiaofei, and when he looked closely, he saw that there were snakes, scorpions, spiders, centipedes, etc., entangled and bitten in the wooden tray, which was daunting.

Tang Xuanzhu said: "This is indeed not something that people eat, this is just an excipient for refining medicinal materials." ”

Then he commanded the priest beside him, "Pour it on him, and let nothing be left of him." ”

The priests obeyed, one locked Xu Xiaofei's arms, and the other pinched his chin, one by one, and shoved the live poison into his throat.

This taste must be extremely uncomfortable, Xu Xiaofei's face suddenly became extremely ugly. When the priests let him go after swallowing the last poisonous worm, he covered his mouth and retched.

Tang Xuanzhu said lightly: "If you like this, you can eat like this in the future." ”

Xu Xiaofei clenched his teeth, and anger appeared in his eyes.

The priest of the Spirit Snake Palace stepped forward and whispered something, and Tang Xuanzhu suddenly spoke again.

"People from the Demon Cult?"

Lin Yan knew that he was asking himself, and said, "Heavenly Absolute Sect Left Protector, Lin Yan." Bai Fei said that you need manpower to refine immortal materials, so I will help. ”

Xu Xiaofei also turned his eyes to look at him, with a complicated and indescribable expression.

"Zuo Protector?" Tang Xuanzhu said, "Your sect leader, what's the situation?" He didn't wait for Lin Yan to answer, and said to himself, "It's not much better if you think about it." Wait for me to refine this pill for him. ”

"Yes. There are seniors. Lin Yan said softly and politely, and smiled silently.

The other party was even confused, and of course he couldn't see his smile.

He smiled lightly, and there was no fireworks, but usually when he laughed like this, the killing intent in his heart was already boiling over. When Tang Xuanzhu's use value was squeezed out, he was determined to let this person die worse than anyone else, a hundred times worse.

Although Tang Xuanzhu couldn't see it, Xu Xiaofei saw all this in his eyes.

His eyes twinkled, and he didn't know what thoughts were turning.

"Without further ado, let's do it. Tang Xuanzhu said.

With a flick of his fingertips, he struck a blue light at him. Lin Yan is held in the palm of the hand, and a little look at it is a simple method of quenching.

said "It's okay", the two of them raised their hands at the same time, and thousands of strands of thin and silky golden light rushed towards Xu Xiaofei's body, forming a light cocoon, wrapping him in it.

Through the translucent light cocoon, you can clearly see that the ends of all the golden threads have penetrated into Xu Xiaofei's body, making him show an extremely painful look in an instant. His mouth was open, as if he wanted to exhale in pain, but he couldn't make a sound.

How easy is it for the flesh to endure the burning pain!

This tragic situation made the priests of the Spirit Snake Palace look away from their eyes. And Tang Xuanzhu and Lin Yan, one can't see, the other is very hard-hearted, and they still continue to invest spiritual power without any mercy.

When the golden light finally dissipated, Xu Xiaofei gasped violently, his legs weakened, and he sat down on the ground. There was not a single scar on his body, but cold sweat had soaked his body.

"Let's go. Tang Xuanzhu said to the priest who led the way for him. Today's tempering is over, and he will not stay longer.

They quickly ran away.

Lin Yan remained where he was, looking at the man who was sitting on the ground in a state of embarrassment.

Xu Xiaofei also looked up at him, and suddenly smiled bitterly: "I thought that I was almost a friend of yours." ”

Lin Yan said: "I originally thought so. ”

"Who would have thought that...... Alchemy to save Shen Jinglan, but I have to use it. You are a member of the Heavenly Absolute Sect, and you must save your sect master, right?"

"Yes. ”

"Do I have to do it?"

"You don't have to. Lin Yan said, "It's just that I don't know if the sect leader has any other heirs, his body can't last long, and it may change at any time, otherwise I will give you a chance." ”

He really didn't want to know how Xu Xiaofei came here. He always felt that he knew too little about the sect master's past.

"Hahaha," Xu Xiaofei burst out laughing, he shook his head, "Even if you give me a chance, what do you think of me? In order to survive for yourself, you hurriedly find a woman to give you a litter for yourself? If Shen Jinglan is the person I saw in the cave, I like him very much, and it doesn't seem so uncomfortable to be eaten by him...... But have you ever wondered if a hen would be able to eat eggs if she knew she was eating eggs?"

Lin Yan looked at him. For some reason, his heart also ached...... It's really unbearable.

After a while, he said slowly: "Whether the hen can eat it or not, she can't taste it after refining the pill." ”

"That's right. Xu Xiaofei sighed.

After saying a few words, he finally regained some strength, supported the ground with one hand, and stood up. Suddenly, one of the feet fell forward, and almost fell into Lin Yan's arms, Lin Yan stretched out his hand and held him up.

Xu Xiaofei raised his head. He was so close to Lin Yan now that he could breathe and smell.

He looked at Lin Yan, his eyes were deep and deep, and he said: "Before I die, I have one more wish, only one, can you promise me? But depending on the situation, I want to think about it, I want to break my brain, and I don't know how I can escape from death, it seems that I am really dead." ”

He said so sincerely, Lin Yan couldn't bear to refuse, and said, "You say, I'll decide." ”

"Let me see you for what you really are. Xu Xiaofei immediately said, "I can't tell why, I always feel that you should be someone I know very well and close to, and I always feel that you have a huge secret hidden in you......"

This wish is not too harsh.

"Okay, I promise you. But now is not the time," Lin Yan said, "The moment before you go down to the Dan furnace, I will let you see my true face." ”

"It's a deal. Xu Xiaofei smiled.

No matter what he felt in his heart, this smile was extremely bright.

Just like the brightest sunlight, and the flowers that bloom in the sun, it can be dazzling.

However, under the brightest sunlight, there was darkness - when Lin Yan saw his smile, he also saw an ice blue drop of ice blue water on Xu Xiaofei's eyebrows. His body stiffened, and Sen Han's sword qi appeared out of thin air, hitting the back of his heart.

Lin Yan saw through his divine sense that this sword qi was triggered by a sword-shaped magic weapon hidden in Xu Xiaofei's forehead, formless and substantial, but it seemed to be indestructible.

As long as Xu Xiaofei's hand moves slightly, this is an absolutely fatal sword.

He found that he had underestimated Xu Xiaofei again—this person had a strange charm that could make people unconsciously unguarded...... But in fact, Xu Xiaofei's ingenuity and adaptability are definitely better than many people.

"What does this mean?" said Lin Yan coldly.

"As you can see. ”

"Do you want to blackmail me into letting you go?" Lin Yan's voice was unfazed, "Can't you see that even if you kill me, it's useless, and I'm not the only one who wants you to die." Tang Xuanzhu wants to take your alchemy and dedicate it to the sect leader, Bai Fei is addicted to the pill technique, and he will not let go of this opportunity to refine into a rare elixir, and they will never let you go. The same means are indispensable. ”

"I understand, so what I'm asking is not for you to let me go," Xu Xiaofei said, "I want you, let me see 'him'!"

"He?" Lin Yan asked, "who is he?"

Shen Jinglan. Xu Xiaofei said, "Of course it's Shen Jinglan, you must have a way to contact him." ”

"The sect leader is thousands of miles away, and you expect him to save you, but you can't catch up. ”

"I don't need him to come in person, I just have to listen to what he says. Xu Xiaofei smiled, "You don't have to deliberately pretend to be stupid and delay time. I know you can feel that this sword qi can't last, and it will definitely dissipate within a stick of incense, so I don't plan to delay it for that long. I only counted to a hundred in my mind, and from this moment on. ”

This sword qi was naturally inspired from the magic weapon given to him by Senior Brother Han Yue. Accumulating the sword qi that overflowed when he practiced swords on weekdays, once it burst out, although the power was amazing, it was also a sourceless water, the more he used it, the less it was, and it couldn't last for a while.

Lin Yan sneered: "It's useless for you to force me." He is very ill and in desperate need of a life-saving elixir, do you think he will speak for you?"

"I don't know what he's going to say. Xu Xiaofei said calmly, "But he's still in the dark by you, isn't he?" Even if he agrees to take my alchemy, I will hear him admit it himself!"

He just saw Shen Jinglan, and he was so sure.

Why is he so sure!

Is this really a bond that comes from close relatives...... Is it an unimaginable and unattainable bond for outsiders?

Xu Xiaofei, who is he, and who is his mother?

Lin Yan's heart swelled up with extremely complex emotions in an instant, resentment, jealousy, unwillingness, and anger...... But after all, it turned into helplessness.

"You know him, and if the Sect Master knew that it was your flesh and blood, he probably wouldn't want to. But even if you kill me, I'll never contact him. ”

He continued: "I have been searching for decades, tried many methods, and collected thousands of spiritual materials, but I have never been able to cure his illness. Now this pill recipe is the most promising one I have ever had, do you think I will fall short because I care about my own life?" he smiled, "You can see if I am telling the truth. ”

Xu Xiaofei's meaning is resolute, but his meaning is even more resolute.

Xu Xiaofei also sighed and muttered, "I can indeed see that you are very loyal to him." Luckily, I have the next idea. Since you are his important subordinate, he will definitely plant a mark on you, and once you encounter the danger of life and death, he will be alarmed to come to his rescue, right?"

He didn't plant that mark. "Lin Yan said.

"There must be. ”

"On what basis do you say that if not?"

Xu Xiaofei looked at him deeply: "I just know!"

He stopped talking, paused for a moment, and suddenly opened his mouth again, his lips opened and closed, "Ninety-eight, ninety-nine-", his silent count in his heart has not stopped. Before it reached a hundred, it had just been counted to ninety-nine, and it was immediately struck.

The sword qi skyrocketed, and the murderous aura also skyrocketed, this was a counterattack, and it was a backwater battle, and he sent out all the remaining strength!

The sword light soared into the sky, reaching the peak of brilliant brilliance, this sword is not only a murderous sword, but also contains all the essence of his swordsmanship, he was originally an unborn swordsmanship genius, until this sword, only to really play his unbeatable talent and talent in the way of the sword!

If he were asked to do it all over again, he might not even be able to use such a sword again.

Xu Xiaofei's mind was calm, he had already devoted himself to this sword.

The sword light rose extremely fast, and it broke through Lin Yan's defensive strength in an instant, but in Xu Xiaofei's eyes, this moment became extremely slow, making him suddenly remember a lot of things.

He remembered whether it was a dream, a forgotten past, or a prophesied future, and he sat alone on the top of a high mountain, watching the sun climb up and fall back into the ground. He could even feel the state of mind at that time. After the day is night, and after night is day. Today and tomorrow pass by in a row, and the day after tomorrow...... The day after tomorrow has passed, and it is a thousand years of loneliness.

In the next scene, he is suffering as if all the punishments of the boundless purgatory were inflicted on him at the same time. His soul, his flesh, his spiritual power, and everything he had ever possessed, burst open and turned into nothingness and ashes.

As soon as the picture turned, he suddenly saw that the green field, the wind was light, and he was walking side by side with the weak young man who met twice in the dream, he turned his head, smiled, and said something to the young man.

The warmth of this scene immediately dispelled the extreme pain he felt in the previous scene.

Xu Xiaofei's eyes widened slightly.

He could see the young man's face in his dream...... Warm and handsome, and after a flicker, it coincided with the face of Lin Yan in front of him.

It may not be exactly the same, but it has a special sense for him.

Who the hell is that......

The murderous aura suddenly dissipated, and the sword aura also collapsed.

The time for a stick of incense has not yet arrived, and it is he who has lost the courage to break the cauldron and is unable to maintain it any longer.

He didn't dare to really kill him.

No matter how resolute his mind was, there was still a voice in his heart that was stopping him, telling him that if this sword went down, maybe the consequences would be something he couldn't bear. This trace of weakness that came out of nowhere tripped his hand.

At the same time—

No one can tell whether it was a moment early or a moment late, and the Lin Yan, who was held hostage by Xu Xiaofei, turned into flowing water all over his body, flowing to the ground with a "bang".

Water like a doppelganger!

While talking to Xu Xiaofei, of course, Lin Yan did not hold back, and secretly urged this technique, replacing his real body with a water avatar.

Lin Yan flashed not far away, his right hand was raised slightly, and a long azure silk flew out, wrapping Xu Xiaofei up and down solidly. The brilliance flashed, and the long aya disappeared. He knew that ordinary forbidden methods could not help Xu Xiaofei, so he used the advanced secret technique of the water system.

Xu Xiaofei looked in a trance, and did not dodge at all.

Nothing can be done again, and he probably knows in his heart that there will never be such an opportunity again.

I...... Actually let this opportunity go?

Lin Yan didn't know that Xu Xiaofei, who looked stunned, was in a turbulent mood at this moment.

It was already a life-and-death struggle just now, and the other party was also an enemy who was bent on taking his life, so he thought that he would never fail to do it!

I'm weaker than I thought I was...... Have I always thought highly of myself?

Courage and determination faded from his heart, but also his faith.

Xu Xiaofei always knew that he was not a cold-hearted person, but the sudden collapse of this murderous aura after he had made up his mind still hit him hard.

He flinched for a moment, and made a mistake, most likely fatal!

Thousands of miles away in Huashan, Shen Jinglan, who was resting in a house on the mountainside, suddenly opened his eyes.

"What happened?"

Lin Yan over there quickly responded: "It's okay. There was some danger just now, and it has been solved. ”

The tone was still calm.

"Be careful. ”

"Yes. ”

Shen Jinglan stopped making a sound. He lay on the bed, and when he looked through the small window, he saw that the mountains were lonely, and the trees were withering, and his mood couldn't help but be a little low.

Is he hiding something from me again?

Lin Yan walked in the winding corridor of the Spirit Snake Palace.

The wide-sleeved robe hung down, covering his hands. He still felt that there was a small area on the back of his hand that was slightly hot—because the Sect Master's spiritual power had just been transferred.

Xu Xiaofei's shocking sword still alarmed the sect leader. Fortunately, the follow-up was powerless, and the sect leader was not prompted to make a move. Lin Yan was also reluctant to let the sect leader come to the rescue.

The sect leader is sick and needs to recuperate, so he can't be tired. If you can't handle everything properly, the sect leader will always worry about himself, how can he rest assured?

Lin Yan thought again, strangely, Xu Xiaofei actually knew that he had a mark left by Shen Jinglan. It's not hard to guess, but why is he so conclusive, like he's seen it with his own eyes?

This imprint......

Lin Yan almost couldn't help but touch the place on the back of his hand that was still spontaneously hot.

On that day, the sect asked him to stretch out his hand, and then used his index finger as a pen, and the essence and blood forced out from his fingertips as ink, and drew several strokes on the back of his hand to form a vermilion talisman.

Lin Yan still remembers that the shape of the talisman is regular, like a small magic circle, the sky is round, and the five elements are gossip.

The sect leader looked at this talisman, and suddenly smiled again, smiling mysteriously, with some inexplicable happiness, and said, "Wait a minute, it's not over yet." His slightly larger palm covered his own. When he removed his hand, the regular talisman on the back of his hand had turned into a "Shen" character.

His Dao method has reached a high level of profundity, and he can grasp the essence and change the appearance of the technique. Although the appearance of the talisman has changed, the effect has not changed at all.

After the red light masterpiece, the talisman drawn by the essence blood disappeared on the back of Lin Yan's hand, and it would not reappear until he encountered a fatal crisis. However, under the deliberate avoidance of Linyan, this talisman is rarely used.

But the blood-colored condensed word "Shen" has been engraved on his heart forever and will never be forgotten. 166 Reading Network
