Chapter 22: Confusion
Black clothes, black boots, black masks, and a faint blue-black firelight illuminated the night scene that shrouded Yan Tianjing with his slight movements. Not far from the www.biquge.info of the pen "Fun" Pavilion attracted his attention, and the sound was like something falling to the ground. Then I heard the sound of the stones clashing, and with each collision, the sparks that burst out made the shadowy place shine for a moment, and after a few strikes, one of the sparks fell on the tarpaulin of the torch.
Thorn picked up the torch, as if just to show himself to the man.
"You've been feeling dark all the way, why bother lighting a torch at the end and asking for an understanding?"
Jing Xie said: "Don't talk about it, I know that this end is also the end of my life, so this understands, do you give it or not?"
The man smiled, "You have found this end by mistake with others, if I give you an understanding again, I will really fail myself! Regarding this fire, it is Jing Shui who is easy to mislead you, and about that person, it is Qi Wuwei who misunderstands you." The former mistimed you, and the latter mistook your life. ”
"You don't want to take off your mask?" asked Jing Xie as he spoke, and the man began to run over to take off the man's mask. Seeing that his hand had touched the mask, the man only took a step back, but Jing Xie's hand hung down heavily, he was so close to the man, but he could no longer catch up with that short distance.
Jing Xie's eyes widened, his expression stayed on the surprise of the moment when the secret was revealed, although he still had consciousness, the connection between this shell and his consciousness was slowly being sawn away, and the remaining consciousness was like ice cubes placed in the scorching sun, and it would soon melt away.
When the scene in his eyes slowly darkened, he could also see a person forcing back the "black mask" and rushing into his sight. There is only one person in the world who dares to wear an imperial robe like this to show off.
Jing Xie can still see and hear their conversation:
"Who are you, where are you, who are you instructed by, and I will not kill you if I know all this. ”
"Since you know so much, do you know if you can kill me?"
The royal robe guest opened the wind and clouds, and between the strong winds, there was gradually a trace of flame stretched out in the wind like a prairie fire, and the wind that connected the heavens and the earth turned the night into day, and the "black mask" was swallowed by the wind and fire in an instant, and when the wind and fire subsided, the day between heaven and earth seemed to have returned to normal. The Imperial Robe Guest looked at Jing Xie, the sparkle in his eyes had been completely extinguished, and the Imperial Robe Guest put a hand on his face, and he could still communicate with his remaining consciousness.
"The matter of fire, the change of night into day is not the same thing as the change of day into night. ”
"I ...... Know...... Finish. This is...... I was wrong, but the 'human' thing, absolutely ...... That's right!"
"But what are the unfulfilled wishes to be conveyed to me?"
"Hehehe...... Your Majesty, please ...... for me."
......
Qi Wuwei trotted from behind Jing Xie and saw Jing Xie and the Imperial Robe standing face to face, thinking they were talking.
"I saw that the sky suddenly dawned, it turned out that you were the ghost!" Qi Wuwei gasped and said, "It's really strange! What an urgent thing, but if you show up to intervene, I can't be in a hurry!"
The royal robe moved a few steps without saying a word, just to show off the immobility of the thorn evil. Qi Wuwei saw what he meant, ran over, and saw the starless face of Jing Xie.
"What can I do for him?"
"Help him look and bury his body, but now there is more important work to be done. ”
"What?"
As soon as the words fell, he saw that the imperial robe suddenly grabbed Jing Xie's right hand, and sucked it from his palm with internal force, only to see three needle-like strips of objects equivalent to the length of Jing Xie's forearm were pulled out by him, and without saying a word, he grabbed Qi Wuwei's arm again, and sent three needles into Qi Wuwei's palm.
The royal robe guest moved so fast, Qi Wuwei didn't react, and the royal robe guest himself was stunned.
"What's that?"
"Jing Xie entrusted him before he died, and asked me to pass on those three life-marking needles to you. ”
Qi Wuwei asked, "Then he didn't mention what he wanted you to do for Jing Shuiyi?"
The royal robe shook his head: "He may have already explained to Jing Shuiyi in person." ”
Qi Wuwei looked at his right hand, "What kind of life needle is this, how to use it?" Qi Wuwei thought of Jing Xie's hand, and it was a thought to save people's lives to death.
The imperial robe said: "He asked you to go to Jingfu, and naturally someone will teach you." ”
Qi Wuwei said helplessly: "I'm afraid that Jingfu is dead at this time, and these three needles will rot in my arm." ”
The royal robe guest had already turned around and was about to leave, turning into a ball of light and flying away before saying, "I'll know if I've been there, goodbye!"
Qi Wuwei helped Jing Xie close his eyes, groped around him, and muttered, "Why is his token missing......
......
The arena for the sword duel was no longer in sight, and the open space for spectators was no longer visible, and the piles of corpses covered the entire sword duel venue, even touching the buildings outside the venue.
The two people standing at the highest point of the pile of corpses, King Xuning and the Guilty Jackal, were looking at the city gate tower that had become a small "point" in the distance, and this "corpse mountain" had reached such a height.
"You say...... Are we going to kill all the people in Zhongzhou?" said the desecrated jackal, his whole body stained with blood, and the two "bloody hands" that were placed as sword fingers seemed to take a long time to recover from their original state.
King Xuning's situation was not much better than him, but his hands were holding his arms more easily, and he tried his best to straighten his waist but he didn't want to take a deep breath of the blood around him, "I'm afraid...... Look for any living people in this mountain. ”
The desecrated jackal lay down on the spot, his ears pressed to the corpse at his feet, as if he could hear the movement in the entire "mountain of corpses" through the corpse. "Five living people are pressed underneath this. Did we miss a few fish?"
King Xuning had already walked to the "bottom of the mountain", "I'll dig below, you dig on here, let's dig out those five people." "The desecrated jackal looked at the sky with a bitter face,
"Eh, when is it dawn?"
The "Corpse Mountain" changed shape, and the two "Bloody Men" found the other five "Bloody Persons" from the "Corpse Mountain", and arranged them in a row from left to right in the order from top to bottom in this "Mountain", but it was difficult to identify who was who for a while, so King Xuning called the Blasphemous Jackal to wake up one by one and ask questions.
The first "blood man" couldn't stop laughing when he woke up, he didn't care about this mountain of corpses and blood, but wanted to hug King Xuning and the desecrated jackal with great enthusiasm. King Xuning said lightly: "He is Xiao Mian Township, let's ask the next one." ”
The second "blood man" woke up and lamented the impermanence of this world, and then prepared to find his sword in the mountain of corpses. "He didn't thank us, then it should be Sui Yusheng. Said the blasphemous jackal.
The third "blood man" woke up and behaved no different from that Sui Yusheng, knowing that Sui Yusheng was looking for a sword and was going to follow, the desecrated jackal forcibly pulled him and asked him his identity, it was Sui Yusheng's new apprentice, named Xia Yiping.
As soon as the fourth "bloody man" woke up, he hugged his head and cried, as if he was repenting and complaining about grievances, and he always took the responsibility on himself. "Don't exalt yourself, Qi case. King Xuning said, "You don't have the ability to make such a big fuss." ”
The fifth "Blood Man" was awake, and he quietly watched the performance of several survivors who survived the catastrophe. "What are you doing here, old bachelor?" asked the Blasphemous Jackal.
"Ahh......h
"Blasphemous jackal!" interrupted him.
"Hehehe...... "Twenty years later, why are you still a little child?"
"Hmph...... It's a big deal. What the hell are you here for?"
The old bachelor rubbed his hands and said, "I'm here to help everyone!"
The profane jackal scoffed, "And then you're buried at the bottom?"
The old bachelor defended: "First, it's too late for me to come here, and I really can't save more lives! Second, with the power of the two of you, I will only drag you down if I make another move!"
King Xuning stepped forward and said, "Are you Zou Zuo, the Tai Sui of Zhiwu?"
The old bachelor lay there, stretching comfortably, "It's been a long time since anyone called me that!"
King Xuning nodded slightly, and shouted: "Senior!" When the old bachelor heard this, his eyes widened instantly, and he said in a loud voice: "The prince has really been lifted!"
King Xuning picked up his arrogance, "You deserve to be respectfully called by this king." He turned his head and said, "Xiao Mian Township, after cleaning up, take everyone to the West City Gate and wait for me." The desecrated jackal followed me to the palace. ”
......
In front of Jingfu, Qi Wuwei met Jing Hao.
"Brother Wuwei, I've been waiting for a long time. Jing Hao said, he was unharmed, and there was no strange behavior in his behavior. He motioned for Qi Wuwei to follow him in
Qi Wuwei said as he walked, "You know I'm coming?"
"Yes. I know what happened today. Jing Hao led the way, and said without looking back.
Qi Wuwei walked with him, and gradually saw the other people of the Jing family dying on the side of the road, "But you didn't plan to save their lives." Just watch them die. ”
Jing Hao turned around and said, "Knowing things that shouldn't be known through undeserved means, and helping people who shouldn't have escaped to escape from the calamity, will definitely lead to even more terrifying consequences." He led Qi Wuwei to his "broken temple", "One person in the temple, with me and Jing Shuiyi, is the only person left in the Jing family." I wish you were coming for me, but I know you're not. I just hope you don't go in, get too close and you'll fall like those people outside. Jing Hao turned around and went out.
"What happened to my family before?" said a woman's voice from the ruined temple, it was Jing Yixuan.
Qi Wuwei stood in the courtyard and said, "I have seen such a situation in Fengyu Mountain, which is caused by demon magic. ”
Jing Yanxuan said, "Can't they change back?"
Qi Wuwei heard that she wanted to make her feel better, so he said: "Once the spell is successful, I have never seen anyone who can get out." Death, or the best place to be. Qi Wuwei diverted the topic and asked, "I haven't asked the girl yet, how can I avoid the demon law and save the fuselage in the accident." ”
"Medicine. Anything can be done with medicine. Jing Yixuan said.
"Ha!" Qi Wuwei said with a smile, "Although the conversation is shallow, it can basically be confirmed that the girl is the person who has the most special relationship with Jing Shui Yi in this Jing Mansion." ”
Jing Yunxuan said, "Tell me your purpose!"
"Before Jing Xie died, he passed on his three life-marking needles to me, and explained that the method of use and related rules should be found in this Jing Mansion to find out to someone. This person must be you, girl. Qi Wuwei said.
Jing Yangxuan said: "You take out the life needle and put it at your feet, it is inconvenient for me to show up now, when you leave, I will help you prepare, and the next time you meet, I will return it to you and teach you how to use it." ”
Qi Wuwei looked embarrassed: "I don't have a way to take it out." ”
"Then let it stay in there, and I see you without pain. It is rumored in the house that when Jing Xie implanted the three life-cutting needles in his arm, he was dizzy for three days and three nights, and since then, his personality and voice have changed greatly, making it easy to think of the little eunuch who has just passed away. But you ......"
Qi Wuwei shook his head, "I don't feel anything." ”
Jing Yunxuan said, "Let's leave! I'll stay here for a few more days, and then I'm going to look for water." ”
Qi Wuwei said: "The girl and Jing Hao can leave with me." Mutual companionship can be taken care of. ”
"Do you know where Shui Yi is?"
Qi Wuwei shook his head.
"Let's leave. ”
......
"Help...... Help!" The voice came from behind Qi Wuwei, and he could hear every word, but he couldn't tell if it came from a person, a man or a woman, or something else. Qi Wuwei took two quick steps.
"Help...... Help!" the voice was closer. Qi Wuwei turned his head suddenly, but after turning around, he heard someone behind him, "What's wrong?" It was Qi Yan's voice, and Qi Wuwei could hear it clearly.
"Whew-" Qi Wuwei let out a long breath and said to Qi Yan: "It's okay, I'm too worried." Do you have eyebrows about demon generals?"
Qi Yan shook his head and said, "He is deliberately on guard, I will spend more time, but I can still find out in the end." ”
Qi Wuwei asked, "What about after finding out?" The operation was coordinated by the Chonglong Sect, but you never told me about the specific plan. Please tell me that I can help you. ”
"No need. Qi Yan said, "First, you really can't help, and second, the Chonglong Sect is wary of you, and you told me first not to let me reveal it to you." ”
Qi Wuwei said excitedly: "What? Do you believe me or that group of foolish and despicable people?" As soon as the words fell, four Chonglong disciples jumped up from the shadows and fell to Qi Wuwei to surround him on all sides, "Senior brother, be cautious!" said one of the disciples.
"Do you remember the purpose of my departure from Fengyu Mountain?" Qi Yan said, her eyes glinting with tears and a hint of grief.
"I ......" Qi Wuwei suddenly didn't know how to answer, he really didn't figure it out, and he was even more afraid of inadvertently saying "For me Qi Wuwei!" Such a sentence that caused people to laugh.
Qi Yan said lightly: "I only want to kill the calamity, there is only this one purpose, and that is the whole purpose of my life." And this has too little to do with you. ”
"I asked you!" Qi Wuwei began to retreat, and the four people surrounding him followed him back, "You only made me think about what use you had for me......"
"I thought you were good at taking advantage of others, but you only hid me and didn't get rid of you, and I wouldn't have even had this great opportunity. ”
Qi Wuwei nodded, his expression did not change, "I just hope you don't get hit for the second time, I really can't bear to see it, even if I know that you won't die at the hands of the demon general." ”
"Not anymore. Qi Yan smiled, "Didn't you return the jade to me?"
Although the four Chonglong disciples left together. The changes of this day, from Jing Xie to the Jing family sisters and brothers to Qi Yan, are all out of Qi Wuwei's control, what he wants to save, but he can't save it, and what he wants to help, but he can't help it. Now all he had changed was the three needles that had been buried in his arm, and he didn't feel anything unusual.
"Oh, Amitabha, why didn't the donor hear the old monk's cry for help!"
One sentence attracted Qi Wuwei's scattered attention, and a thin monk walked with difficulty. His eyes were closed lightly, and his cane frequently lit the ground and made noises, and he was supposed to be blind. In this accident, he was also affected, and there were many wounds on his withered body, which seemed to have just stopped bleeding.
"Why was the master able to get out of trouble?" Qi Wuwei asked.
"Hehehehe...... It's a little trick to make them think I'm dead!"
"Pretending to be dead?" Qi Wuwei couldn't believe it, "This should be as difficult as reasoning with them." Qi Wuwei continued to ask, "Master...... In which temple did you recite the scriptures?"
"Idle clouds and wild cranes, wandering all over the world, have never taken root. ”
"Tsk...... Then you just want to catch up with the excitement of the sword duel?" Qi Wuwei frowned, "You came to me in front of me later, and you were not affected by that demon law." If you want to attack my idea, only let me see so many suspicious points, it's really abrupt!"
"The benefactor is really wise! Seeing through the old monk's plan at a glance, the old monk is ashamed and embarrassed, so he will go to recuperate first!" said the monk and was about to leave.
"Slow!" Qi Wuwei stopped him, "Let's go along! ”
The thin monk smiled, "Can the donor carry the old monk on his back, the old monk is very seriously injured, I'm afraid he won't be able to walk a few steps......"
"I'm sorry! Qi is powerless! Master try his best to keep up!"
......
Outside the West City Gate, Qi Wuwei and the monk met several "blood people"
"Wu Wei!" Sui Yusheng shouted, "You are really alive!"
"Ah! Sui Yusheng's seniors!" Qi Wuwei said, "Wuwei survived, but more people have lost their lives today!"
Sui Yusheng asked, "Do you know about this...... Who did it?"
"I knew it would be like this! I also knew that it was the fox demon of Fengyu Mountain. Qi Wuwei said, "But...... His skill recovered quickly, but I didn't expect it, now his demon art can not only control the vast majority of the people who watch the sword duel in the future, but also cover the entire Yantianjing, that corpse mountain, it is really shocking!"
"Who is this?" Sui Yusheng pointed to the thin monk, the monk couldn't look at it and just blindly muttered something, Qi Wuwei pushed the monk, and the monk said: "The old monk is idealistic, and he learned that there is a mountain of corpses over there because of the death of many innocent people, but he was in a hurry and had no time to overtake them, so he had to secretly recite scriptures for them." ”
"Hard work master!" Sui Yusheng said, "The fact of this unprovoked slaughter of the city should not be, everyone will want to see the initiator get retribution!"
Qi Wuwei said: "Don't think about the past anymore! Although there are many people in Zhongzhou, the people in Zhongzhou will kill each other if they are not killed like this." The political battles, the rivers and lakes are all as tragic as the battlefield, as tragic as the mountain of corpses. We should be concerned, when such a major event happens at the feet of the Son of Heaven, what is the situation in the palace, if something happens to the key person, Sheng Ping moves, it will be a precursor to the chaos in the world!"
Sui Yusheng said: "King Xuning has gone to the palace to investigate. I have been going for a long time, and I believe that I will be returning soon. ”
"King Xuning?" Qi Wuwei's heart trembled, because of the word "Xuning", "What kind of person is he?"
Sui Yusheng said word by word: "The absolute generation of powerhouses, the pinnacle of the sword world, under the whole world, I am afraid that only the proud can compete with one of them!" He suddenly looked at Qi Wuwei, "Look at that corpse mountain, how can a few people here build it?"
Qi Wuwei looked at the old bachelor sitting on the side, "Do you have this ability?"
"Hey, hey, hey, of course! But they can get up in half a day......! Half a year small!"
Qi Wuwei sighed: "Then he is really powerful!"
And beside him, there is Du ...... The blasphemous jackal follows left and right. These two complement each other, Zhongzhou and his party have never carried a sword, but they can still do this. Sui Yusheng gritted his teeth.
Qi Wuwei got another unknown name and asked, "Who is the Blasphemous Jackal?"
"One of the three swords of Zhongzhou, alongside me, is far stronger than me, and it is also regarded as the greatest shame in this life alongside me and Changde Mountain. ”
"Ahh
Walking towards everyone from afar, two brightly dressed figures without staining dust, their elegant steps made people see their superb light skills at a glance, but they deliberately walked very slowly, probably for fear of staining their clothes in the wind and dust.
"What a master!" Qi Wuwei admired, "The sea of bleeding is not stained!"
