Chapter 161: The conspiracy is not over
Who is this ......!?
Facing this strange figure who appeared in his memory for the first time, Jiang Yao's shock was even greater than before. It's just that this figure is the same as the black shadow under the plane tree before, and the appearance of the clothes is blurred, and only the silhouette can be recognized that this person is petite, and does not seem to be an adult.
"Hehe, it looks like you've got a 'memory from ten years ago' back......
A familiar voice sounded from his side again, Jiang Yao turned his head, and in the flying golden sycamore leaves, he really saw that the young man who had exactly the same appearance as himself ten years ago was standing beside him, calmly staring at the black shadow under the plane tree in front of him.
It's you......
Jiang Yao looked at this indifferent "young man" with a complicated mood, after the battle of the Netherworld, he had already understood that this person was the consciousness embodiment of the 'Chiyou Remnant Soul' that resided in his body, and the opportunity for boarding was the nightmarish tragedy ten years ago.
"Every time you find my soul, your memories of that year will be complete. What you have recovered from the "Flying Head Man" this time is my 'fourth soul' - 'Removing Filth'. γ
As he spoke, the young man moved his gaze back from the front, and his red pupils looked at Jiang Yao beside him.
"Judging from the memory of this time, there was more than one "third person" at the scene ten years ago. γ
Those two people...... Who the hell is it?
Jiang Yao asked nervously, and when he turned his head, he found that the golden plane tree and the two black shadows in the distance were gradually ethereal and gradually dispersed. The darkness devoured the memory scenes in the world of consciousness, leaving only the boy still standing in the darkness, his eyes calm and indifferent.
"Unfortunately, I don't know. γ
The boy shook his head and replied, not knowing whether it was sincere or perfunctory.
"Perhaps it will be until you have recovered the rest of my soul and evoked a complete memory that the 'truth' of the scene will finally surface. γ
You......
Jiang Yao stared at the face that was exactly the same as when he was a child, and wanted to say something, but he always felt panicked.
With the gradual return of Chi You's soul, the consciousness of this "young man" has gradually become rational from the beginning of the rage, but as the other party's consciousness gradually becomes clear, Jiang Yao has a feeling of uneasiness, as if he has been buried in his heart. However, to retrieve the memories of the past, dig out the real murderer who killed his father in the first place, and retrieve the rest of Chiyou's soul is the only solution at present.
If I help you recover the rest of your souls...... What will happen to you? And I'...... What will it become?
Looking at the "young man" in front of him, Jiang Yao finally asked the doubts in his heart.
"Hehe, this is ......."
The young man smiled, and his lips and teeth opened lightly as if he had said something, but it quietly dispersed in the gradual roar. Jiang Yao tried to ask again, but this time the roar was already earth-shattering, and the crumbling world of consciousness collapsed step by step with the gradual clarity of consciousness, and the young man's face that seemed to have deep meaning was also dissipated into pieces in the disintegration.
Stand......
β¦β¦ Hold it......
"Don't go ββ!"
The blurred consciousness suddenly woke up in the severe headache, Jiang Yao subconsciously stretched out his hand to grab the broken figure of the young man, but suddenly felt his wrist tightened, and then he was shocked to realize that his right hand was being firmly clamped by gluttony, and the giant claw phantom on his arm gradually retracted from the state of being on the verge of losing control, and finally disappeared without a trace with the dissipated demonic energy.
"Gluttony...... Gluttony?"
Jiang Yao raised his head, his blank eyes reflected the serious face of the red-haired man in front of him, and he didn't seem to have recovered from the previous world of consciousness.
"IβI just ...... right!"
Jiang Yao quickly remembered something, his eyes suddenly changed, and he hurriedly grabbed the sleeve of the glutton, and shouted in a lost voice:
"IβI just 'saw' again...... Saw the memories of 10 years ago!"
Jiang Yao's body trembled slightly with excitement.
"I remembered that when my father was killed, there was actually another person at the scene besides a mysterious guy! My father's death must have something to do with those two people!"
ββ¦β¦β
Gluttony looked at Jiang Yao's bloodshot eyes, and a trace of complicated emotions vaguely flashed on his face, but this strange appearance made Jiang Yao mistakenly think that the other party didn't believe him, so he hurriedly added:
"It's true! Every time I absorb Chiyou's soul, I will recover some of my memories from ten years ago, and this memory is also what I saw after absorbing the Chiyou remnant soul in the body of the 'Flying Head Man'!"
Jiang Yao said excitedly, turning his head to look at the original location of the corpse of the "Flying Head Man", only to find that the body of the demon had already turned into a pile of dust, and a dark red crystal stone was lying quietly in the mound, exuding a strange light.
"You, did you really take 'that spirit'......" Gluttony muttered in a low voice, but the expression on his face soon regained its composure. He let go of Jiang Yao's hand, got up and walked to the pile of dust, and reached out to pick up the stone.
"It's ...... What?" Jiang Yao struggled to get up from the ground and walked to Tao Tao's side, only to find that the dark red stone in his hand seemed to be a little familiar, but it was already covered with cracks, and in the blink of an eye, the stone "clicked" and fell apart and disappeared into the air.
"...... 'Gu Dan'. After a while, the gluttony finally opened his mouth. "What was left behind after the death of this 'Flying Head Man' is undoubtedly the 'Gu Dan'. β
"'Gu Dan'?" Jiang Yao immediately realized something, and his face suddenly changed. "In other words, in fact, this 'Flying Head Man' is actually a 'Demon Gu' himself?"
"That's right. The reason why the 'Flying Head Man' has become like this, and can manipulate the power of the 'Chiyou Soul', is probably because it and the Chiyou remnant soul have been used as the 'material' for refining the Demon Gu, and they have been fused into the 'Demon Gu', and this 'Gu Dan' is proof of this. β
Tao Tao gently patted the crumbs on his hand and turned to look at Jiang Yao.
"I'm afraid that this 'Flying Head Barbarian' has been being manipulated as a prop by a certain guy from beginning to end, and since that guy can refine a 'new Demon Gu' with the help of 'Demon Gu', I'm afraid he will never be an ordinary character. β
"Could it be...... Is that the man pretending to be Wu Lao Liu?" Jiang Yao thought of the long-haired man who had trapped them here, and his face began to glooze again.
"I don't know, we don't know anything about the real identity of that person, and ......"
The gluttony whispered, looked up at the top of the rock road, and followed in a almost inaudible voice:
"Moreover, starting from the ancient tomb of Yuanqiu Mountain, the 'three spirits' were collected in a row...... Is this really just a coincidence?"
"Rumbleββ!
Another loud bang echoed around the two of them along the rockway, and as the roar and shaking in the mountain became more and more intense, the temperature of the entire rockway began to rise sharply. At this time, Jiang Yao realized that the rock road in front of him was no longer pitch black, a faint light was projected from the top of the rock road, and a simple mud stone staircase connecting the top appeared not far away, as if after the 'Demon Gu Array' was unlocked, the exit was close at hand.
"Memories aside, we can't stay here any longer. Gluttony shook his head and withdrew his gaze. "Come with me. β
After speaking, Tao Tao stopped speaking, turned around and walked down the stairs to the exit above, and Jiang Yao also understood that this was not the time to be entangled and hesitated, so he also temporarily suppressed all kinds of doubts in his heart, dragged his tired body after the explosion, and hurried away with Tao Tao towards the exit that projected light above.
"Boom...... Boom ......
The dull roar continued to echo around, stirring up a shock of the mud and stone stairs under his feet, Jiang Yao tried to stabilize his body, looked up, and found that the exit above was close at hand. But to his surprise, the closer he got, the more dazzling the light at the exit became, giving him the illusion that he was in daylight.
"Is it already daylight outside? Could it be that we stayed here all night?" Jiang Yao asked as he looked at the gluttony that had reached the exit and turned his back to him.
ββ¦β¦ No, it's not sunshine. β
The gluttony didn't look back, just stared in a certain direction of the sky, and his voice grew colder.
"It's not sunshine? What the hell is ......?"
Jiang Yao crawled out of the cave, and under the stimulation of Bai Mang, he reflexively reached out to block his eyes, and only after getting used to it did he finally discover what the source of the light was.
This is indeed not the light of the sun, to be precise, this dazzling light comes from a magic ball of light hanging high in the sky, like a flare, shrouding this "forbidden land" mountain forest in a snow-white halo.
"What is this!?"
Jiang Yao was shocked when he saw this, and the gluttony beside him finally retracted his gaze and turned his head to look at Jiang Yao.
"This is a 'spell message' that only demons can understand. Gluttony said. "The message says that this 'forbidden land' area is about to be teleported away. β
"Was teleported away, ...... whole mountain forest??"
"That's right, time is running out for us to evacuate. β
Gluttony said, glanced around, and without waiting for Jiang Yao to react, he once again raised Jiang Yao's arm without saying anything, and with a leap of his body, he took Jiang Yao and galloped towards a certain place in the back.
"It's actually the 'Spell Transmission Enchantment'......" Tao Tao glanced at the looming magic light film that surrounded the mountains and forests in the distance, and his brows furrowed slightly.
"'Spell Transmission Enchantment'? What is that......
"It's a spell that can teleport an entire area to other dimensions at once, and it's a technology unique to the 'Long Right Clan'. Gluttony said, his steps did not stop. "This kind of enchantment is extremely mana-intensive, and they usually won't use it until the critical moment, and now in this situation, I'm afraid it's already broken. β
"What the hell is going on, and why are they suddenly going to remove all of this 'forbidden land'?"
"Well...... If you think about it, you can guess that eighty percent is for the purpose of 'destroying evidence'. Tao Tao said expressionlessly.
"Because of the Changyou family, they have violated the 'biggest taboo' in today's world. β
