314 Dead or alive

This Xu Ranran was obviously possessed by a ghost.

It's just that I don't know what tricks the mysterious man used on her, so that Xuan Cheng didn't even notice it until the moment she took out the dagger.

After being possessed by a Yin Spirit, it is not difficult to expel the Yin Spirit from the original owner's body. The strength of these yin spirits is not strong, and Xu Ranran has not been bent over for a long time. However, if you want to keep Xu Ranran's soul from being affected in this process, although things are not difficult, it is unlikely to be easy to do in this situation.

Moreover, with the mysterious man's style of acting, there may be other traps on this Xu Ranran. If Xuan Cheng acted rashly, if something hurt Xu Ranran, he would definitely blame himself in his heart.

Therefore, seeing Xu Ran rushing towards him like crazy, Xuan Cheng didn't dare to forcibly beat out the yin spirit in his body, so he could only tie his hands and feet first. Then, he bit his fingertips and drew a soul-calming talisman on Xu Ranran's eyebrows with blood. When the last stroke was completed, the golden light of the runes drawn by blood flashed, and it disappeared into Xu Ranran's eyebrows in the blink of an eye, and then she immediately quieted down. Then, with his eyes closed, he fell asleep.

At this time, the Soul Suppression Tower not far away had already changed into its original appearance, towering under the moonlight. Two statues of golden light are engaged in a battle with the mysterious man.

These golden light statues, although the strength of the single body is not very strong, but there is no substance, it is difficult to kill, and it is very good at cooperating, this mysterious person is also like Xuan Cheng at the beginning, and he was entangled by death for a while.

Seeing this, Xuan Cheng hesitated for a moment, and then did not take the opportunity to step forward and join forces with the two golden light statues to solve this person, but immediately left this place with Xu Ranran.

The most important thing at the moment is to find Shen Muzhi as soon as possible.

The mysterious man mentioned Shen Muzhi just now, and he was vague, although it was possible that he was bluffing, trying to force Xuan Cheng to comply. However, Xuan Cheng did not dare to take risks.

Moreover, although the yin soul in Xu Ranran's body was suppressed by him with a temporary soul-calming talisman, this was not a long-term solution. This town soul talisman town is not only the yin soul, but also Xu Ranran's soul, and after a long time, it will also have an impact on it. Therefore, Xuan Cheng still has to deal with the yin in her body as soon as possible.

And that mysterious person, although Xuan Cheng has fought with him many times, he has not yet fully explored the depth. That Soul Suppression Tower is not completely under his control now, summoning two god statues is the limit, and with one of him, it may not be able to solve this mysterious person in a short time.

Therefore, all things considered, it is best for him to take the opportunity to leave while the two idols are entangled with this mysterious person at this time.

As for this Soul Tower, without that bead, it would be impossible for the mysterious man to take it away.

In other words, as long as he finds Shen Muzhi, then the initiative of the whole thing will be in his hands.

Distance.

On the ground full of sand and gravel, two figures lay down.

The woman dressed as a woman, with a pale face and blue lips, was obviously too dead to die. Underneath him, large swaths of dirt turned dark red.

Next to her is Shen Muzhi, who has delicate facial features. On his face that was almost transparent, there was not the slightest hint of anger.

Suddenly, he coughed.

Dark red blood clots were coughed up from his mouth, foaming at the blood, and after a while, the pair of sword eyebrows that seemed to be unopened suddenly twisted up, and then the eyelids trembled, and the faint awakening.

When I opened my eyes, the first thing that caught my eye was the crescent moon in the sky.

The seemingly bright moonlight fell from the sky, but it was so cold that it only made people's hearts chill.

Shen Muzhi stared at it in a daze for a while, and then his thoughts slowly returned. The things that happened before gradually came back to my mind. Turning his head to look at the corpse lying next to him, Shen Muzhi suddenly laughed.

It's really as big as ever!

As he awoke, the sharp pain in various parts of his body gradually returned. Shen Muzhi gritted his teeth and endured, sat up from the ground lightly, rummaged around the woman for a while, and took back the wrench and jade pendant she had taken away.

Shen Muzhi put both of these things back on, and then took out the pill and wine from his fingers.

With the elixir of wine, the hot and spicy taste wrapped in the rich spiritual power, and suddenly suppressed a lot of the pain in his body as if it was about to tear him apart.

Shen Muzhi breathed a long sigh of relief, and then sat like this, and after pouring all the jar of wine, he picked up the sword next to him, put his sword on the ground, slowly stood up, moved his steps, chose a random direction, and walked out.

He just wanted to get away from the woman.

Even though the woman was too dead to die anymore, he was still not at ease.

However, with his current body, he can't go far.

But even if you can only leave a little bit, that's good.

It didn't take long for Shen Muzhi to lose his physical strength, his hand holding the long sword kept trembling, and his legs were weak, so he had no choice but to sit down on the spot.

At this time, I don't know if it was because of his weak body at the moment, or because the cold in his body began to be restless, he actually felt a little cold.

At first, he was a little lucky. But soon, this trace of luck disappeared in an instant.

In the Divine Sealing Acupoint, a stream of cold qi surged out, and at an unprecedented speed, all the meridians in his body were occupied in an instant.

Shen Muzhi's whole body was cold, and frost hung on his eyebrows and sideburns in the blink of an eye.

Sharp pain came from all over his body, as if countless thin needles were piercing his body from his meridians. The pain was so dense that he didn't even dare to breathe.

Shen Muzhi sat stiffly on the ground, his body trembling unconsciously because of the pain. The pale blue frost hung more and more on him.

Shen Muzhi gritted his teeth and held on, but how could his body hold on to the ghost gate that had just been closed.

Within the dantian, it had basically fallen at this time, and only that jade sword was left to guard its own little place, constantly fighting against those cold air.

The frost outside Shen Muzhi's body became more and more, and gradually, the whole person was wrapped in light blue frost. And gradually, he didn't move, and he couldn't even feel his breath.

Dead?

The pale red glow came from nowhere, illuminating the space a little strangely.

Shen Muzhi hung in this light, looking around blankly, unable to grasp whether he was dead or not.

Suddenly, an indifferent voice came from all directions.

"Do you want to die like that?" The voice sounded like a woman's voice, very crisp, but also very cold, as if questioning Shen Muzhi.

Shen Muzhi was stunned suddenly.

Does he want to die?

He asked himself, do you want to?

He didn't know, but it seemed that after he woke up in the Jinming Pavilion in Jinling that day and realized that his contract with Qingguo had been terminated, something in his heart had also disappeared along with that contract.

From that day on, even if He Xian and Xuan Cheng were with them, even if Zhao Zhengguang had always been very good to him during that time, those things never seemed to come back.

Until he met Su Hua.

Maybe it's because Su Hua is the same as Qingguo, they are both demon clans, or maybe it's because Su Hua, like Qingguo, is so stupid to believe him, and those things in his heart finally began to come back. At that time, he began to think about doing something hard for Su Hua.

He didn't want something like Qingguo to happen to Su Hua again.

But in the end, God still refused to favor him.

Now, ten years later, he may no longer think about dying, but he doesn't seem to want to live well.

In other words, he no longer has the desire to live hard, perhaps, if he happens to die, for him, it is a relief that he does not have to feel ashamed of Qingguo and Su Hua.

He didn't have the courage to live well.

I also don't have the courage to die properly.

It's just that it's just a long time to survive.

Shen Muzhi has actually always known this.

He looked down at his toes, smiled wryly, and said nothing.

After a moment of silence, the voice sounded again, another question that went straight to the heart.

"Do you think you deserve to live?"

Shen Muzhi lowered his head, this time he was not stunned, he didn't think deeply, he just smiled bitterly.

This is a question he has been asking himself for more than ten years. However, the answer is no longer important.

What about it?

What if it's not worth it?

He's still alive after all.

Heaven is always like this, when he wants to be favored, he always chooses to ignore him, such as the matter of Qingguo at the beginning, and the matter of Su Hua later. But when he didn't want to be favored, he found him again, like just now.

Perhaps it was his silence that angered the owner of the voice that was hiding somewhere. Not far in front of him, the light and shadow writhed and changed, and then a bewitching woman in a red dress strolled out.

Staring at the slender figure in front of her, there was a trace of imperceptible fluctuations in the woman's indifferent eyes.

Shen Muzhi noticed something unusual, and as soon as he raised his head, he crashed into those eyes. The inexplicable familiarity made his heart skip a beat.

"Can Your Excellency and I know each other?" Shen Mu subconsciously asked.

The woman didn't answer him, just stared at him coldly, and after a while, suddenly asked: "This is your last chance, do you want to die or live!"

Shen Muzhi was stunned.

He didn't know how to answer the woman in front of him, and he didn't know what it meant for the woman to suddenly ask such a question. But his intuition told him that if he answered that he wanted to die, he might really be dead.

But does he want to die?

He thought of Qingguo, and then thought of Su Hua.

However, he only has the pyloric realm now, and it is impossible to kill Liu Guan or go to the Great Sword Gate to rescue Su Hua. And if he wants to do these two things, he doesn't know how long he will have to wait, or maybe he will never be able to wait.

In the past ten years, he has changed from an ordinary martial artist to a monk in the pyloric realm. However, the various encounters that have been going on have already shattered all the self-confidence in his heart.

He wanted revenge, but he was afraid that he would not be able to take revenge in his life.

He wanted to die, but he couldn't let go of the guilt he felt about Qingguo and Su Hua.

In the past ten years, he has been like this, in constant self-entanglement, like a walking corpse, powerless to live.

"Do you want to die, or do you want to live!" the woman suddenly shouted when she saw that he was silent.

The thunderous voice sounded directly in his mind, and in the fright, he subconsciously shouted: "I want to live!"

The woman suddenly smiled.

In the pale red space, a breeze suddenly blew, rolling up the veil on her face, and a somewhat familiar and beautiful face appeared in front of her, making Shen Muzhi, who had never come back to his senses, stunned again.
