At this moment, Gu Yu was in the void world where Shuo lived, not the real Dark Star City. Shuo just wants to revisit the hometown of Obigu Yu and give her an unshirkable "sense of mission".

The ancient palace was built around a towering tree, which is a branch of the rhizome of the "World Tree". Three weather-beaten stone walls protect the branches of the sacred tree in the center.

The lines left behind by the meticulously carved ones, like a wandering silver snake, outline three colorful murals on the stone wall. The "Blue Flame" is written in a "word" that can only be understood by the gods, leaving the words "past", "present", and "future" on the three stone walls.

Three stone walls, three murals, front and back, scattered vines, along the branches of ancient trees, finally entangle the three stone walls. What is tattooed on the stone wall is the history of blood and tears of a race, and it is also an unknown past of an era, and it is also the past and present life of "Shuo".

On this mural of the "Past", the craftsman's meticulous carving skills meticulously depict how the priests who followed "Shuo" helped "Shuo" steal the "Yixin Sword" of the primeval holy martial arts, and were banished by the Emperor of Heaven to the world to turn into "Fallen Feathers", establish the Black Heaven Sect and engage in holy war with the Chiyan warriors of the world.

The "now", written in "blue flames", is facing the throne in the distance inside the palace. When Shuo is trapped on the throne, he can't get a full view of this wall, so he needs the "Feather Faller" to help him interpret the "revelation" from this stone wall.

Regarding the "future", "Shuo" cannot be seen, and neither can the Twelve Black Heavens Pope. It is said that only the legendary Black Heaven Master, who is closest to the gods, will be able to get a glimpse of everything depicted on this wall. And the mysterious Black Heaven Sect Master also got a "revelation" on this wall and created the Black Sky Sect.

The three stone walls are not connected, and there is enough gap between the stone walls. In the center of the palace, the giant tree that stretched the heavens and the earth was still growing. One day, the scattered rhizomes of the giant tree will form a circular wall on all three stone walls.

When the three stone walls of "past", "present", and "future" are completely covered by vines entwined around the ancient tree, the wrath of the old gods will ignite the vines through these six characters.

At that time, the blue flames will be replaced by black flames, and the vines will completely engulf the towering giant tree whose rhizomes have spread all over Dark Star City.

Subsequently, the world of nothingness will return to nothingness, and the real world will be reborn in the demise of Dark Star City. For "Shuo", Dark Star City is like the "armor" he built for himself, the "hourglass" with special significance, and the "tomb" that finally buried him.

This is the triple meaning of Dark Star City for "Shuo". So, he must find it. Find this "city" that doesn't actually exist in the eyes of the world. Only in this way can "Shuo" fulfill his destiny.

At this moment, every detail on the stone wall of "Past" made Gu Yu feel shocked. Memories of the past are quietly awakened here. Inexplicable anger and resentment ignited the scarlet in her eyes.

"Shuo" smiled slightly, and led her from the stone wall of "past", past the scattered vines, to the stone wall engraved with the word "now". Gu Yu looked at the mural about the "now" in puzzlement, and the anger in his eyes immediately turned into doubt.

"I need you to help me decipher this stone wall. Shuo looked at the stone wall in front of him and said to Gu Yu, Gu Yu frowned and said, "Is there anything special about this stone wall?"

"For some reason, I couldn't get a glimpse of this stone wall. Shuo sighed, turning his gaze to the throne in the distance. At this time, Gu Yu followed Shuo's gaze and saw the young man sitting alone on the throne.

That's what "Shuo" was supposed to be.

The physical body when he was the second son of the "Emperor of Heaven".

Next to the throne, a mature and plump woman attracted Gu Yu's attention. However, what attracted Gu Yu was not the position where the woman was standing, but her well-proportioned posture. Shuo seemed to notice Gu Yu's gaze deflected, so he said lightly: "The woman standing next to the throne is the Holy Mother. That is, the Lord of our Holy Religion. ”

Gu Yu frowned: "Why can't I see her face clearly." ”

"At this moment, the void world you are in is both present and non-existent. Just like this Dark Star City. As he spoke, Shuo left the stone wall with the word "now" engraved on it and walked towards the throne. Gu Yu paused, and then followed closely behind Shuo.

"It exists in the past, is silent in the present, and eventually dies in the future. Shuo sighed and continued, "This is the end of time and the beginning of this world. ”

As he spoke, the twelve feathered ones who were originally hovering in the dome gathered their wings and slowly landed behind Shuo, following closely with Gu Yu. Shuo didn't look back.

Looking at himself on the throne in the distance, Shuo recalled, "At the beginning, when I was still on the throne, they would help me decipher the news on this stone wall. At that time, you can only wait outside the palace for them to deliver the decree I have given. However, now my bond with them has been severed by the damned Chiyan warrior with the Chiyan Nine Star Seal. ”

Between the words, Shuo sideways hinted at the "they" in Gu Yu's own mouth, referring to the twelve women behind her now: "They are the twelve black-clothed holy envoys, your most respected pope." ”

Gu Yu followed Shuo's gaze and looked back at the twelve women, but she couldn't see their faces clearly at all. Confused, Shuo had already brought Gu Yu to the throne, and the Twelve Black Heavens Pope who had originally followed them stopped under the throne at this time and bowed to the ground.

"You can see them, they can't see you. Looking at Gu Yu, who was suddenly a little restrained, Shuo said lightly, "So, don't feel nervous." ”

Then Shuo sat down on the throne. The past body coincided with him in an instant. At this moment, Shuo is no longer the appearance of Qingyan. Shuo changed back to his proper appearance, and Gu Yu also coincided with the figure of the Black Sky Sect Master at the same time.

Before Gu Yu came back to his senses, countless women dressed in black suddenly rushed under the throne, filling the palace like a black tide. Then, the sound of worship echoed in this ancient palace like a tsunami. But he saw Shuo stretch out his finger and pointed at the insignificant cluster of "waves" in the "black tide" composed of many Black Heaven Sect disciples under the throne: "Is that you?"

Gu Yu fixed his eyes: "Yes." ”

When Gu Yu's voice settled, Shuo slowly closed his eyes. At this moment, the vines of the giant tree in the distance completely covered the three stone walls, and the wrath from the ancient gods immediately ignited the vines, and at that time, the blue flames were replaced by black flames, and the giant trees were ignited along the vines, and in an instant, the entire Dark Star City was plunged into a sea of fire.

The women in black under the throne sang ancient songs in the process. There was only fanatical adoration in his eyes, not the slightest fear. When Shuo opened his eyes again, the world returned to nothingness.

Gu Yu knew that the black flames would not burn their "Feather Fallers", and all the "Feather Fallen" who were trapped in the black flames would be teleported to the place where they were going through the black flames, and there would inevitably be a cluster of black flames burning in that place. In contrast, the red flames and blue flames will deal great damage to the Featherfall.

Red flames can incinerate the flesh of the Featherfalls, while blue flames consume their souls. For the Red Warriors, the red flames naturally couldn't hurt them, but the black flames could be combined with the blue flames. It's just that except for "Shuo", no one can manipulate the blue flame.

Because, the blue flame is a "gift" from the "Heart Sword", a terrifying power called "annihilation" by the gods, which can incinerate everything in the world without leaving a trace!

"Where did they go?" Looking at Shuo, who was a little lost at the moment, Gu Yu asked. Shuo was silent for a moment, and then said slowly, "They went to the place where we used to live together. ”

Gu Yu was puzzled: "What are you going to do?"

Shuo: "End an unfinished holy war." ”

Gu Yu didn't speak, the black flames in her eyes ignited everything. There is no wailing or weeping, only the last revelry of the fallen.

This is the revelation contained in the third wall. ”

Shuo didn't open his eyes, but said lightly to Gu Yu.

Gu Yu was stunned, but saw that the plump woman who coincided with her left the throne at this time, and came to the sacred tree in a carnival. Only then did Gu Yu realize that about the revelation in the third wall, it seemed that only the Black Heaven Sect Master could "read". And as apostles, they never thought about whether this "revelation" was really an "oracle" related to Shuo.

In the firelight, the woman unloaded her robe, spread her blood-colored wings, and danced barefoot in the black flames, looking both elegant and mesmerizing, as if she were blessing all those who had fallen into feathers, and as if she were seeing them off.

"That's fate. ”

As he spoke, Shuo waved his sleeves.

Then, everything in front of him returned to nothingness.

When Shuo opened his eyes, a blue ancient sword suddenly appeared in front of Gu Yu, Gu Yu frowned: "This is ......"

"Ancient Saint Martial Yi Heart Sword. Shuo handed the sword to Gu Yu and continued, "Remember what it looks like, find it, and then stick this sword in front of the ancient tree you saw just now, and guide Meng Jian to pull out this sword when the next starless and moonless night comes." ”

"Meng Jian?" Gu Yu looked at Shuo puzzled,

"Your Sect Master has prophesied that I will be in a familiar scene, and I will stand in front of the sacred tree, and draw this sword on a starless and moonless night. At that time, the true self will be released. Shuo sighed deeply and continued, "The ancient tree you saw just now is a branch of the rhizome of the World Tree. At this moment, my true body has been formed into the Chiyan Nine-Star Seal by the commander of the Ninth Legion of the Chiyan Warriors, "True Warrior" Mule Kali, at the cost of his life, and sealed in the body of the young man named Meng Jian. At first, I thought that awakening was freedom, but now it seems that only by following this prophecy will I truly break free from the shackles. ”

Gu Yu: "Dare to ask Allah, where is this young man named Meng Jian at the moment?

"Meng Jian is now in Mingyue City, you just need to do what I just told you, don't ask too much about other things, I will contact you when the time comes." Shuo said lightly, "And before that, you have to assist the Thousand Thunder Kingdom to take Yaoguang City." ”

Gu Yu: "Allah means to let me help Lei Che?"

"The entrance to Dark Star City is inside Dawn City. Shuo recalled, "After taking Yaoguang City, I'll tell you where the entrance is. As long as you find Dark Star City, you can freely enter and exit all parts of Jibei. At that time, in my name, I will gather all the faithful believers to gather in Dark Star City. ”

Gu Yu understood: "No!"

"After a thousand years of wandering, it's time to go home. Looking at the delicate Gu Yu in front of him, Shuo muttered to himself. As he spoke, Shuo seemed to sense something, so he turned to say, "That's all for now, you should also leave." ”

Gu Yu: "How do I get out of here?" ”

Shuo smiled slightly, and his appearance gradually changed back to Qingyan's appearance in Gu Yu's eyes. During this period, the world around it was like a cloud blown away by the wind, revealing what it should be. As a result, the world of nothingness dispersed with Shuo's smile, and Gu Yu and Qingyan returned to the real world.

When the black eyes and bloody pupils dissipated in the meantime.

Qing Yan, who was familiar to Gu Yu, reappeared.

It all came back to life.

Before Gu Yu embraced Qing Yan, the roar of a beast suddenly came from outside the military tent. Qingyan, who didn't know what he had experienced, looked at Gu Yu suspiciously at this time: "Teacher......"

Gu Yu patted the back of his hand: "Don't worry, I'm here." ”

The roar of the wandering beast grew tighter and tighter.

saw Gu Yu open the curtain of the military tent and stand proudly in the wind and snow with cold eyes. The greedy war bear, who was a little restless, immediately showed his sharp fangs and confronted Gu Yu in silence. Gu Yu didn't speak, and the greedy war bear circled around Gu Yu a few times and sniffed at her.

At this time, there was a sudden sound of fierce fighting in the Chinese army camp of the Thousand Thunder Country. The greedy war bear glanced at the Qingyan in Gu Yu's military tent, and finally snorted and left quickly.

Looking at the greedy war bear in the distance, Gu Yu fell into deep thought. Qingyan, who had recovered his true self behind him, stood side by side with Gu Yu: "What happened." ”

Gu Yu did not answer Qing Yan's question, but turned his gaze to the brightly lit Qianlei Kingdom military tent camp in the distance. Qingyan on the side didn't understand what Gu Yu was thinking at the moment, but he heard Gu Yu say lightly: "It's nothing." ”

Between the words, Gu Yu turned around and returned to the military tent, thinking about what preparations she should make for opening Dark Star City next, leaving Qing Yan alone outside the military tent and didn't know what she was thinking.

......

Between the flickering candles, Lei Che's gaze turned around everyone around the war sand table, and then said slowly: "The second thing needs to be completed by the generals and the widows. ”

Everyone looked at each other, but saw Lei Che walking slowly: "Among you, there is a traitor. The whereabouts of the widow have been leaked, and now the widow needs everyone's help to catch this traitor. ”

Everyone present, except for Brother Wei Chi, frowned and became wary of each other after hearing Lei Che's words. So, Lei Che first stopped in the middle of the two Wei Chi brothers: "Wei Chi Po Yu, Wei Chi Dingbang." ”

Brother Wei Chi frowned, and said in unison: "The last general." ”

Lei Che didn't look at their eyes, but stared at the war sand table in front of him and said, "You say, among the generals present, who betrayed the widow. ”

Wei Chi Dingbang looked around at the generals: "The last general doesn't know." ”

Lei Che didn't speak, but everyone could see that the reason why he didn't speak was not because Wei Chi Dingbang might be the spy, but because Lei Che was not satisfied with Yu Chi Dingbang's answer.

Seeing this, Wei Chi Poyu hurriedly answered: "Whoever dares to betray the lord of the country, the last general will be the first to stand up and dismantle him!"

Lei Che didn't raise his eyes: "What if that person is your brother Dingbang?"

Everyone's eyes all converged on Wei Chi Dingbang's body at this moment. Wei Chi Poyu hesitated for a moment, and instantly lost the arrogance just now: "I won't be soft." ”

Lei Che smiled, and asked Wei Chi Dingbang instead: "If your brother betrayed the widow, what would you do?"

Wei Chi Dingbang looked at the eyes of Wei Chi Po in front of him, and said slowly: "I will definitely personally carry his head to see the lord of the country." ”

Lei Che smiled with satisfaction, and in doing so, he pulled out the knife from their waists, and handed it to the two brothers. Everyone frowned and wondered, thinking that the traitor was among these two people, but they heard Lei Che say: "Brother Wei Chi, the sharp blade of the country, how could he betray the widow?"

Brother Wei Chi listened and breathed a sigh of relief. They had thought that Lei Che's move was to make them kill each other. Turning around, Lei Che continued: "Take the knife in your hand, and don't hesitate to swing it. ”

The Wei Chi brothers said in unison: "No!"

Then, Lei Che walked in front of Zhan Teng and Chu Liang.

"Chu Liang, how long have you been following the widow. Lei Che's unexpected question made Chu Liang a little frightened, and Chu Liang recalled: "It's been three years now. ”

Lei Che ignored him after hearing this, but turned to ask Zhan Teng: "Do you think he looks like a traitor?" ”

"Not really. ”

Zhan Teng replied without the slightest hesitation.

Lei Che: "And who do you think it looks like?"

Zhan Teng looked ahead and did not speak.

Lei Che patted Zhan Teng's shoulder, then pulled out his waist knife and handed it to Chu Liang: "Who do you think everyone present will betray the widow?"

Chu Liang chose to be silent, and did not take his knife from Lei Che's hand, but turned his gaze to the general who had not spoken since the meeting, except for the one who had seconded a sentence at the beginning.

Lei Che smiled and whispered in Chu Liang's ear, "What if I guess wrong?"

Chu Liang was neither humble nor arrogant: "The lord of the country is clear." ”

Lei Che smiled and returned Zhan Teng's knife to its scabbard, and said to the two: "General Zhan and General Chu are the right hand of the widow, and they will definitely not betray the widow. ”

Then, Lei Che patted Chu Liang on the shoulder and whispered in his ear: "You are just too smart, and no one else can find anything wrong with it." ”

Between the words, Lei Che was already standing beside Ji Bo and Qi Sijun, who had supported his every decision from beginning to end.

"There are still four people left who have not been ruled out," Lei Che threw the conversation to Chu Liang and the others, "Who do you think among these four will be traitors?"

When Lei Che and Chu Liang's eyes met, Chu Liang chose to remain silent. Brother Wei Chi didn't want to say anything about this, but Zhan Teng knew very well that no matter who among these people was a traitor, if he said something wrong, it would be equivalent to offending that person, and if he looked down and didn't look up in the future, it was inevitable that others would not hate him.

Lei Che smiled, and asked Ji Bo and Qi Sijun instead, "Do you think the other party will betray the widow?"

Qi Sijun hesitated for a moment, but Ji Bo directly pulled out the knife and clamped it directly on Qi Sijun's neck, everyone focused on Sijun at the same time, Sijun frowned and asked Ji Bo: "What are you doing here?"

Ji Bo glared angrily at Qi Sijun: "Since the lord of the country said so, presumably everyone present is a traitor He already has eyebrows in his heart, I don't know if you are a traitor, but I know that I am not, if you are I will kill you on the spot!"

Qi Sijun sneered: "You said that you are not a traitor, so how can you prove that I am a traitor?"

Giber: "If I kill by mistake, I will die to apologize!"

Qi Sijun scolded angrily: "You are communiquéing personal vendetta!"

Between the words, Lei Che had already turned around and came to the place between Nangong Jinyan and Ji Bo. Lei Che's subtle move made everyone think that Qi Sijun was the traitor. Ji Bo sneered and was about to swing his knife, but Qi Sijun suddenly drew his knife and fought with him.

This situation made Lei Che a little unexpected. Looking at what was happening in front of him, Lei Che didn't speak. Just when most people thought that Qi Sijun might be that traitor. The greedy war bear, who arrived following the sound of the fight, suddenly roared, and directly shook the knife in the hands of Ji Bo and Qi Sijun to the ground.

Ji Bo and Qi Sijun looked at the greedy war bear suspiciously, and then turned to Lei Che, who was watching the battle at the moment, but heard Lei Che say lightly: "Nangong Jinyan, what do you think about this." ”

Nangong smiled cautiously without answering, directly pulled out the sword at his waist, handed it to Lei Che, and turned his gaze to the general who had been silent since he came in—Si Nan. Lei Che turned to ask Sinan: "Sinan, what do you think." ”

Sinan didn't speak, everyone present saw this, as if they remembered something, and then realized that something was wrong with Sinan, so they all pulled out their swords at the same moment and pointed at Sinan, but saw Sinan's expression, as if they had already seen through life and death.

Lei Che handed back Nangong Jinyan's sword, and then came to the military tent with his hand on the high seat, and said to Si Nan lightly: "If you have anything to say, say it quickly, if you don't say it, you won't have a chance." ”
