In the wilderness of southern Xinjiang, in a cave on a high cliff, a cave pond is about ten zhang deep, and you can hear the gentle sound of countless Gu insects crawling together.

The waitress squatted in front of the young man crawled with Gu worms with trembling hands, wearing a mask on her face and gloves on her hands, and took a long spoon to feed the food in the bowl into the young man's mouth little by little.

"Again...... Eat a little more......" The girl's hand holding the spoon trembled slightly, and her voice trembled faintly, "No, if you don't eat...... I'm going to be consumed by these pill Gus......"

The young man knelt at the bottom of the hole, forcibly suppressed the convulsions around his body, his body was also faintly shaking, and the iron rope on his body faintly hit from time to time. He let out a very low "um", and the ten fingers embedded in his palm had long been stained with blood, and the black blood scabs covered the gaps between his fingers.

Layers of sweat continued to pour out on his forehead because of the pain, his lips and face were as white as paper, and even the red cherry blossoms that had always been bright on his forehead seemed to have faded, and sweat slowly dripped down on his long eyelashes.

He chewed the food in his mouth very slowly, his eyes were deep and deep, and the faint and unextinguished glimmer of light was faintly visible.

The girl raised her spoon and waited patiently for him to swallow a little bit, moving her feet away from him and the worm Gu from time to time, watching the young man's extremely slow swallowing movements with apprehension, and the face of the city that could still be glimpsed in two points.

"Childe is very good-looking...... I have asked for our suzerain...... You really shouldn't disobey her...... In exchange for such a sin......"

The emaciated boy just swallowed the food in his mouth with little difficulty.

"Previously, there was a man in Miao Village under the mountain who came to ask for medicine Gu to save his wife...... The sect master didn't look down on him, so he let him feed Gu with his body...... Childe, you ...... Why choose this inhuman torture......"

Drops of sweat from the pain fell into the spoon held by the girl, and the boy's scattered hair fell down to his chest, covering the countless Gu worms that were wrestling and crawling on his body.

"Since...... Already fed Gu...... And how can she ...... Threatened...... The cost is outstanding...... You want to pull out someone's daughter...... One finger ......" The hoarse voice kept trembling, and the person kneeling at the bottom of the medicine hole spoke slowly.

I could hear that he was trying to restrain himself and try to speak steadily, but he was still trembling at the pain.

The girl only felt even more unbearable when she heard it, and said in a hoarse voice: "I have heard about this on the road when I want to come to the son...... That's because he hasn't finished feeding Gu for a day...... The daughter came running to intercede...... Voluntarily joined the sect and was sent by the suzerain to pay off his father's debts...... The sect master agreed to her and released the man out of the medicine hole half a day in advance......" Swallowing a mouthful of saliva nervously, the waitress continued: "It's just that even if it's half a day early...... The man was already crazy when he was released......"

Yun Xiao's ten fingers embedded in the palm of his hand curled up tighter. His gaze was painful and tired, sometimes sluggish, and sometimes resolute.

The girl gritted her teeth and said, "His daughter chased after him...... He did not return to fulfill his promise to be sent to the sect...... Therefore, the sect mainly follows the rules of the Dark Cloud Sect...... Pluck her finger...... Fang Yun officially betrayed the ......" The waitress tightened her eyebrows and looked at him tightly: "Childe should know...... Whether it is to enter this Dark Cloud Sect and obey orders or serve in bed for a lifetime, it is better than feeding Gu with one's body tens of thousands of times...... Good to know...... Others will go crazy after half a day of entering this medicine hole at most...... Childe, you ...... It's been a half-month...... But if you want to wait until the sect master returns...... I don't know how long it will last...... Why bother?"

Yun Xiao gritted his teeth and trembled, the medicine Gu on his hands and feet crawled out and in, his face turned pale in an instant, he gasped and said in a low voice: "I...... There is no other choice......" The next moment, accompanied by a milky white Gu worm burrowing under his neck, the kneeling man suddenly screamed: "Uh-"

The waitress was so frightened that she staggered back and fell to the ground, and the small bowl in her hand smashed on the bluestone at the bottom of the cave with a "pop".

"Why are you so careless! Don't come up quickly!" the other waitress above immediately exclaimed, "I'll clean up the pickles at the bottom later, I'm going to straighten his bare iron rope......"

The maid-like attendant immediately flew up in a hurry, nodded his head indiscriminately and hurriedly left the cave, listening to the hoarse and low screams of the young man at the bottom of the round pond in the cave, and did not dare to turn back a single step.

……

Yizhou, Shu County.

In the dark world, there is the soft sound of wind and sand.

There is also the sorrow that Jiuli called out after Yingli.

There is also the evil laughter that Ah Zi is still swinging his knife and slashing, and the shouting and scuffle caused by the thousands of horsemen rushing into the anti-army bow formation in front of the Poison Castle.

It's so noisy, and it's so trance-like and distant.

For a moment, she sat in a wooden wheelchair in a daze, feeling nothing but the heaviness and silence of the person on her body, and the blood that was still warm from his mouth that was slowly seeping into her back.

As far as the eye can see, there is real darkness and emptiness.

was stunned for a moment, as if he had been silent for half a lifetime.

She reached out a little indifferently to support the side of Mei Shuying's neck, her fingertips were still steady, and she trembled after staying for a long time and still not feeling a trace of beating.

Duanmu Xiaoxian lowered her head blankly, her cheek touched the shoulder of the person in her arms, and at that moment her breathing was unsustainable, as if there was a lake covering the top, she seemed to be at the bottom of a deep pool, stunned for a moment, forgetting to breathe and forgetting to feel, and the five senses suddenly left far away.

"Master!" heard a sharp shout, and a green shadow staggered and rushed quickly, blocking the white man in front of him and swinging away the random arrow that shot at the man in the chair.

"Master!" Ye Luye stretched out his hand to support the shoulder of the man in white with a frosty face, barely supported by his sword, his hands holding the sword couldn't stop trembling, listening to the sound of arrows whizzing, shooting messily from time to time, but the person in the chair seemed to be unconscious, and couldn't help but shout to the woman in the wooden wheelchair anxiously: "Master——"

The man in white was shocked, as if he had been awakened, and he came back to his senses in an instant.

In an instant, the trance passed, and everything around him poured into his ears again.

Listen to the cries, the hooves of the horses, the fighting and shouting, and the sound of the flag hunting.

The knife is raised, the blood is splashed, the bow is roaring, and the person falls.

The screams were endless.

The sound is real.

The tide rises and falls.

The man in white raised his eyes, and his green silk snow hair was slightly raised, fluttering backwards, as calm as he was.

The sound of sharp arrows breaking through the air suddenly returned, and the person in the chair turned his wrist, and the iron arrow was blocked by her swing before it could get close, and fell in front of the chair.

Duanmu Xiaoxian sat quietly in a wooden wheelchair, his indifferent and distant face was as if it had been twenty-nine years.

Quiet, indifferent, bleak, solemn.

"The wounded retreated to the fort, and those who had strength scattered to defend them. ”

The people in the rivers and lakes behind her seemed to wake up when they heard the words, and their stunned and sad eyes moved back from the stunned cloud boy who was half-kneeling on the ground, lying on the chair and the woman who had not moved, and gritted his teeth and retreated towards the gate of the poison castle.

The bird hissed, turned into a white shadow and fell, and the snow harrier stood on the armrest on the side of the wooden wheelchair, tilting his head and looking at Mei Shuying's silent appearance. From time to time, there was an intermittent cry from the mouth.

Xue Wa'er curled up on Duanmu's knees, weighed down by Mei Shuying's falling body, her white hair was stained with blood, but her mouth was flat and her ears trembled.

Duanmu hugged him with one hand and leaned on the side of the chair with the other, as if he was calm and compassionate. As if suddenly, as if suddenly, he raised his eyes and quietly looked at the person who was in the dust on the tall horse.

Ye Qi sat on his horse and looked at her without blinking.

The crossbow in her sleeve had not yet been put down, and her deep and compassionate eyes stared at her empty but quiet eyes from top to bottom...... The next moment, there was a fierce frown between his eyebrows.

Duanmu Immortal...... Are you not tears in your eyes?

"Huh. Ye Qima rode sideways, one wearing a hood and a dark gray cloak on his body, at this moment he tilted his head slightly to look at the white-clothed woman in front of the castle holding Mei Shuying, a cold light flashed in his big black and white eyes, and he suddenly smiled and said, "Senior sister...... You're getting damned for it. ”

Ah Zi raised the knife over and over again, slashing at the people close to him again and again, and the moment the scimitar rose and fell, the flesh and blood flew sideways, screaming and crying again and again.

Shuangli rushed desperately, ran to Duanmu Immortal's side, holding a sword and a horse in front of the wooden wheelchair, facing Ye Qi and the black-armored soldiers in the melee, the hands holding the sword trembled.

Jiu Li was silent for a moment, and asked the person behind him in a hoarse voice, "Sir...... Mr. Duanmu...... My son-in-law ...... "What's wrong?"

The sound of hooves was not broken, the sound of killing was bursting, and the cold wind raised the white clothes, tossing and falling.

Duanmu Xiaoxian looked straight ahead, and I don't know how long it took, Fang said in a dumb voice: "The five organs are broken, and the pulse has ......stopped" She heard her voice and said softly and calmly and compassionately: "...... The two Dharma Protectors mourned. ”

Yingli sat on his horse and did not look back.

Closing his eyes for a moment, tears snaked down.

"Ahh

"Yingli!"

Jiuli screamed in pain, tears rolled down, drove the horse to stop Yingli, gritted his teeth and wanted to follow, the next moment a white practice waved to intercept the woman in red, and pulled it back in an instant, Jiuli flew up and caught Yingli.

At the same time, Duanmu Xiaoxian withdrew his long practice, lowered his eyes and whispered, "The deceased has passed away...... Don't be impulsive. ”

Yingli gritted her teeth uncontrollably and wept bitterly.

Ye Qi looked at them coldly, seeing that the armor formation was more and more disrupted by the masters of the Astounding Cloud Pavilion, and he was even more shocked by Ah Zi's double swords, and he lost his armor and couldn't form a formation.

The person behind him said in a quiet voice: "Change the formation to 'crane wings', and you can break through the light cavalry and break into the masters of the rivers and lakes in the heavy army." ”

Ye Qi was solemn when he heard this, and was about to move, when a man and a rider suddenly galloped from the rear of the military column: "Lord Wang!"

Ye Ping took the letter from the rider and handed it to Ye Qi with both hands.

The man in the brocade robe opened his face and changed sharply.

His voice was extremely gloomy, and he only said one word: "...... Withdraw. ”

Ye Ping's eyes were shocked.

The person wrapped in a dark gray cloak behind Ye Qi also wrinkled his eyebrows. gloomy and called: "Lord Wang." ”

Ye Qi only glanced coldly at the crowd in front of the Poison Castle, turned his horse's head and galloped straight towards the direction of the Thorn Mansion: "After Ping'er and Fei'er lead the hundred horses to break off, the rest of the people and horses will withdraw from Shu County with this king!"

The nine thousand soldiers and horses immediately retreated in turn, and the elderly woman in the Thousand Cavalry of the Amazing Cloud Pavilion who was dressed in black gauze also raised her hand and withdrew from the people of the Fourteenth Hall in the melee.

"Elder West Garden!"

"What are you chasing! Don't chase! We are only more than a thousand people, and we still want to kill nearly 10,000 of them?! King Ling is fortunate to be able to retreat at this time!"

When the people of the Cloud Enhancement Pavilion heard this, they also retreated to the Poison Castle.

But at this time, the array led by Ye Qi slowly retreated, and the petite and delicate purple shadow covered in blood couldn't chase after it, and it turned like a cone, and suddenly pounced on the person of the Shocking Cloud Pavilion on the side!

Shuangli and Elder Xiyuan didn't have time to react, and several disciples were slashed by Ah Zi's scimitar, slashing their necks and beheaded, and their heads were bleeding.

"Ah Zi ——!" Ye Luye was shocked, his face was pale, and he hurriedly rushed over, his face was injured and weak, and he grabbed Ah Zi's hand holding the knife with all his strength, and shouted urgently: "Ah Zi!"

"Miss Ye beware!" The people in the rivers and lakes in the fort were shocked, and they were all vigilant: "Miss Ah Zi has no mind anymore!"

Duanmu Xiaoxian was extremely sad on his face, and he also called in a deep voice: "Lu'er, don't get close to Ah Zi...... Come back. ”

Ye Luye grabbed Ah Zi's wrist tightly, his face was pale, and his eyebrows were tightly twisted: "Master...... Ah Zi should be awake, right? Ah Zi should be awake, right?"

The man in white just clenched the silver needle that his left hand had already penetrated the back of his hand. The palm trembled. "Green ......"

The blood-stained little man miraculously stopped moving, and looked at the man in green in front of him grinning non-stop......

Ye Luye's eyes became sour, and she said in a hoarse voice: "She never dared not listen to me...... She should have woken up...... She must have woken up. The hand that grabbed her wrist was even harder, and Ye Luye called eagerly: "Ah Zi...... Wake up!Wake up!Wake up!!"

The man in purple was still laughing, and his laughter was low, sometimes raised, and sometimes suppressed. His eyes were full of red light, and he was murderous.

"Hahaha...... Hehe...... Hahaha...... Heh......"

Ye Luye looked at her crazy and crazy appearance, and her eyes were suddenly red. Gritting his teeth for a moment, he forcefully hugged the purple-clothed man into his arms: "Ah Zi, Ah Zi, wake up!" The voice trembled, and tears rolled down involuntarily.

At that moment, Ye Luye let go of her wrist, hugged the little person into her arms with hope, and called with tears in her eyes: "Ah Zi!!"

The little man she was holding in her arms tilted his head. The next moment, he silently raised the scimitar behind the back of the man in green.

Everyone was shocked.

"Miss Ye—"

The moment the scimitar fell, Ye Luye still hugged her tightly, closed her eyes and gritted her teeth, unwilling to let go.

A blood flower spurted out extremely thinly, splashing on Ye Luye's arms around the purple-clothed man.

The man in his arms suddenly stopped moving, and his scimitars fell sharply as if they were dead.

Ye Luye was stunned.

Look at Ah Zi again.

The man in purple looked ahead with wide eyes, a frozen smile on his face...... A pinhole ran through the thin neck, and the blood flow was extremely thin, but it was difficult to stop.

Suddenly, all the sounds seemed to be still.

In the distance on one side, a silver needle was stained with blood and shot into the wall of the poison castle, and the blood beads at the end of the needle were quietly dripping down.

"Master?" Ye Luye looked at the person in the wooden wheelchair in a daze, opened his mouth, and said in a very soft voice: "You...... Kill Ah Zi?"
