Chapter 49: A Fragile Inflection Point
Zeng Mu reminded me softly, "Master, it seems that this is not the key to the incident!" I was watching with relish, and when I heard him say this, although I was reluctant, I had to rub my neck that was too deep and stiff into the play, "Let's go!
As soon as you step onto this road, the surrounding scenery quickly changes into a festive wedding room. Ling Xiao wore a wedding dress, which was particularly charming under the light of candlelight. But on the night of the candles in the cave room, this wonderful person was not warm at all, she sat alone in the room, her face was still full of tears, but her eyes were full of hatred. I suspected that I had chosen the fourth path in advance, and looked at Zeng Mu with a little complaint, and Zeng Mu was also a little embarrassed to avoid my gaze. "You urged me to come here, we may have overlooked some important details!" he said and was about to leave, but when he moved, he found that Zeng Mu was pulling the corner of my clothes to look at a piece of parchment on the ground.
I slapped his hand away, leaned over to look at it, and found that it read, "If you want to save your husband, please go to the woods of Xiaoyao City alone today." I stood next to Ling Xiao with some sympathy, looking at her sad but helpless. Although I already know the outcome, I am still worried about the sky.
"Master, why do you have pity on her if she hates you so much and wants to kill you?" I looked at Zengmu's young puzzled face, "You don't understand, it's because you're just a created NPC, if the real Zengki is here, he will definitely understand." Zeng Mu lowered his head in confusion.
It's night, sub-hour.
The false moon hung in the sky, so that the bright moonlight was shining everywhere, although it was not very bright, but it reflected the faces of everyone present. The janitor of Suyu Pavilion walked over enchantingly while holding Zuo Liang, who was covered in scars, in one hand.
Ling Xiao was still wearing the bright red wedding dress, which was extremely dazzling at night.
"Xiao..."Zuo Liang called her weakly.
"Zuo Liang!" Ling Xiao was about to rush over, but saw that the woman had already dug into Zuo Liang's neck with her long nails, and suddenly, a trace of warm blood flowed down. Ling Xiao had no choice but to stand still, "What do you want?"
"What's the matter?" the woman sniffed Zuo Liang's blood deeply, "Why don't you ask your man what he did today?" As he spoke, he threw Zuo Liang to the ground, raised a pair of phoenix eyes, and glanced at Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao was a little puzzled, but more distressed, "Zuo Liang, what happened?"
Zuo Liang just replied in a slurch, "Demon... Blood... Phoenix... Lingxiao... Get married..."The woman sighed a few times, "It seems that this kid went to Suyu Pavilion to steal things, but he actually wanted to stay with you for a long time!"
Although Ling Xiao still had tears on his face, he smiled slightly, and muttered in his mouth, "Fool!" The woman waved her hand impatiently, "I'm not here today to see you show affection, this, you know?" Ling Xiao cheered up, "I like to get straight to the point." The woman smiled, "I can also hand him over to the young master, after so many years, the young master's methods, naturally I don't need to say more." What's more, as the guide of Hitomi Town, you actually fell in love with the 'key' privately, and spread it, I'm afraid that the two of you, including your brother He Shu, who went out, will die!" the woman twisted her slender waist, looked at her nails, and continued, "What about me! Bodhisattva heart, I can't bear to see you two yin and yang separated, so I am willing to condescend to make a deal with you." β
Ling Xiao's eyes never left Zuo Liang, who was struggling in pain, and when she heard the woman say this, she only urged her not to say more, and to get to the point quickly.
The woman smiled evilly and pointed at Ling Xiao, "I know that the spiritual power of your crow clan is divided into nine songs, and the name is nine songs. At this time, you have reached the eighth level, which is the eight-song crow. You see, my spiritual cultivation has not improved recently, and I just want to exchange this scholar for your spiritual power. Just change the song, you, you won't be unwilling, right?"
Ling Xiao didn't expect a woman to make such an excessive request, every time the crow practiced a song, it would inevitably have to endure a lot of time and dangers, and if she lost a song, even if other demon beasts were sucked away from a trace of spiritual power, it would cause great damage to the body, how could people take it for nothing? Therefore, she was a little hesitant. Zuo Liang was dying, but he saw this scene in his eyes, and the woman also took the opportunity to mock, "What else do you say about the love that is rotten in the sea, and you are laughing to death! It turns out that this man is far more important in your heart than the spiritual power of the previous song." It's better for me to do a good deed and help you send him away!"
Ling Xiao struck with a split, but the woman suddenly moved Zuo Liang over to block the move, and Ling Xiao had no choice but to volley the move. Seeing that he couldn't save Zuo Liang up close, Zuo Liang was about to lose his breath immediately, so Ling Xiao had no choice but to say, "I can give you a song, but you have to let Zuo Liang go first!"
The woman threw Zuo Liangzhi into the air and trapped him inside with an enchantment. "There is a huge difference in strength between you and me, if you let him go first, you will bite back. Don't worry, as long as I take a song, I will definitely let him go!" Ling Xiao walked towards her hatefully, and the woman put her slender finger on Ling Xiao's eyebrows, Ling Xiao closed her eyes, "You'd better talk! β
I saw that the woman began to urge the spiritual power, and a dark purple spiritual power continued to flow from Ling Xiao's eyebrows into the woman's body. The woman looked at her hands in surprise, feeling the powerful power in her own experience being constantly absorbed, constantly being fused, and couldn't help but be ecstatic, "This is the power of a song!" The woman laughed for a while, and suddenly remembered that Ling Xiao was still paralyzed on the side, so she walked to her side, originally just wanted to continue to ridicule her for a few words, but when she saw Ling Xiao's weak face covered with sweat beads, she instantly changed her mind. She grabbed Ling Xiao's neck violently with one hand, causing her body to lift off the ground, and then shamelessly sucked Ling Xiao's spiritual power again. Ling Xiao looked up weakly at Zuo Liang's face floating in the air, which was already covered with blood. The woman also looked at Zuo Liang along Ling Xiao's eyes, "It's better to let the two of you make a pair of outlaw mandarin ducks today!" Then she snapped her fingers, and the enchantment holding Zuo Liang suddenly shattered, and Zuo Liang fell directly from the sky, falling at Ling Xiao's feet, with no breath at all.
Ling Xiao's eyes suddenly turned black, and a huge force instantly forced the woman back, and the woman covered her heart as if she was seriously injured. She spurted out a mouthful of blood, "I've got two songs today, it's worth it!" and turned to flee. Ling Xiao trembled and picked up Zuo Liang, and also fell into a coma.
After a long time, Ling Xiao woke up and saw that Zuo Liang in his arms was already cold, and his heart suddenly ached like a knife. She roared heartbreakingly, unable to calm down for a long time. The wind was blowing on her blood-red wedding dress, and at this moment, it all seemed to be full of irony. She kissed him lightly on the lips and murmured, "Don't worry, I won't let you die." You promised me that you would be with me forever!" Then, she stretched out her right hand, and a not-so-complete True Soul Pill appeared there. "Zuo Liang, in order to save you, I am willing to give everything. The True Soul Pill slowly melted into Zuo Liang's body, Zuo Liang began to twitch all over, he twisted in pain, and a huge black crow slowly filled his whole body. Suddenly, he opened his eyes, and the pitch-black pupils flashed away, and he was radiant, but she, because she had taken away her true soul, was already like a dry bone, and she had no human appearance.
"Zuo Liangβ" she called out to him with the last of her strength, and then closed her eyes.
My eyes were a little moist, and I held back the tears from slipping out of my sockets, and turned around and entered the next path.
He Shu returned just in time and gave her half of his True Soul Dandu, and Ling Xiao woke up quietly. "Xiao," Zuo Liang held her hands tightly. She saw that Zuo Liang's face was injured, so she stretched out her hand, "Your face." Zuo Liang glanced at He Shu and smiled slightly, "It's okay, it's all over, it's okay if you wake up." β
Zeng Mu sighed, "Happy ending." β
I sighed, "If it's really the finale, that's a good thing." β
Time and space are changing, and it seems that a hundred years have passed.
On this day, he was dressed in green clothes and came from the direction of Suyu Pavilion. He rode a tall, plain white horse, and the sun shone on him, gilding him with a dazzling layer of color. The long hair on his forehead was blown by the wind from time to time, and his eyes shone in the flickering light. He looked proudly at the three Ling Xiao kneeling in front of him, and the corners of his mouth curled up in a perfect arc. "For many years, the young master has not been to Tong Town in person, but he didn't expect something to happen, not very good. His eyes swept coldly over the three of them, and finally his gaze stayed on Ling Xiao's body, "The 'key' has also been transformed into a demon, it's really bold!"
My tears instantly flowed uncontrollably, and my heart said, Finally, I finally saw you! Although it was only in the depths of Ling Xiao's memory! It was not so much that I entered Ling Xiao's spiritual world to subdue her, in fact, I knew that I just wanted to see him again, even for a glance.
Seeing this, Zuo Liang and He Shu hurriedly protected Ling Xiao, "My lord, this matter is all up to me!" Chongming glanced at He Shu, who was in a hurry to argue, "Talk!" Then he took off the ring on his finger and threw it at him. I had seen the ring before, and it instantly turned into a chain, binding He Shu tightly.
"It's me, it's all me!Ling Xiao is here to save me!" Zuo Liang saw that He Shu was tied up, and he still desperately protected Ling Xiao. Shigemi gave a subtle smile, "Yes." Then stretching out his white fingers, Zuo Liang calmly closed his eyes and waited for death, Chongming just patted him lightly on the shoulder. Zuo Liang opened his eyes in surprise, extremely disbelieving that what he had just experienced was true. Chongming snapped his fingers and retrieved the ring that had trapped He Shu.
"I'm here this time to convey a sentence from the young master, "Since Zuo Liang has changed from a 'key' to a half-demon, and Ling Xiao and He Shu have not fully recovered their spiritual power, then Zuo Liang will take the position of guide." The number is ten. β
Ling Xiao looked at Zuo Liang worriedly, "Lord Chongming, Zuo Liang is just a half-demon, he has been away from Tong Town for too long, and he will show his true body in the human world at any time!"
Chongming smiled evilly and leaned closer to Ling Xiao's ear, "That's not right, the world is prosperous, if he lingers, I will send you to kill him!"
The sound of the horse's hooves faded away, and I stood there in a daze, watching Chongming disappear into the depths of Ling Xiao's memory, hoping that he could just say a few more words. At this moment, I realized why I had worked so hard to stay for these three hundred years. At first, I may just be unwilling, but now I am very sure that this man is really what I want.
