Chapter 32: The Thin Red Line

The deeper you go, the darker the passage becomes, and the Cosmic Front flies silently two feet above the ground, like a ghost.

After Qing'er left the nunnery, she thought of the word grave for the third time, felt a little cold in her body, and subconsciously leaned towards Jing Jiu and grabbed him by the collar.

On both sides of the passage are hard, rune-engraved stone walls, and powerful forbidden formations are hidden inside the stone walls.

This is the legendary Aoyama Sword Prison, why did Jing Jiu come here?

Qing'er felt the chill emanating from the cliff and figured out why.

There is a cold vein at the bottom of Shangde Peak, which is the coldest place in the green mountains, and it is the most suitable place for Xue Ji to practice and live.

What she didn't know was that the usual Sword Prison would not be as peaceful as it was now, and the cells on both sides of the passage would exude a violent aura like mountains and seas.

Those violent, dark, and filthy aura, even the slightest trace of it, could pollute the Dao Tree of ordinary cultivators until it destroyed their Dao Hearts.

There are many demons and evil gods with terrifying realm strength imprisoned in those stone chambers, and they are all fierce creatures that can stop children crying at night in the world.

But today, these prisoners did not make any sound, desperately restrained their breath, and did not dare to leak a little.

Yukihime sits at the front of the cosmic front.

She was covered with a quilt, did not glance at the cells on both sides, did not take the initiative to release coercion, and even suppressed her breath with the Chengtian Sword Intent, but those prisoners still clearly felt her presence and gave birth to infinite fear.

Those monsters had already knelt on the ground of the cell, touching the ground with their foreheads outside the stone gate, not daring to get up, as a sign of submission.

The crushing of high-level beings against low-level beings is extremely fully displayed at this moment.

Jing Jiu looked at Xue Ji's back and was silent, not knowing what he was thinking.

Yukihime snorted suddenly.

Jing Jiu's pupils shrank, and then quickly returned to normal, and said, "Your people, I will look for a suitable opportunity to release them and send them back to the Snow Country." ”

Yukihime didn't say anything more.

The Cosmic Edge flew silently, and soon came to the deepest part of the Sword Prison.

It wasn't the darkest place, and there was a faint light ahead, illuminating the stone walls and the ground.

Footsteps suddenly sounded in one of the cells.

Jing Jiu knew that the person in this cell was Uncle Tailu.

The highest-ranking existing elder in Qingshan was also shocked by Xue Ji's arrival and wanted to take a second look.

The deeper you go into the Sword Prison, the air gets drier and drier, and the passage becomes wider and wider, until it becomes a hall with bluestone slabs on the floor and bright lights hanging around it.

There is a passage to the right of the hall, and the lights on both sides are connected in two lines, leading to a lonely stone chamber in the depths.

The Cosmic Blade flew towards that side silently, without encountering any obstacles, and there was no aura of prohibition or formation on either side of the passage.

The furnishings in the cell were simple, but very complete, except for the bed, the table, and all kinds of utensils, all of which were beautiful.

There is fine water falling like a spring on the stone wall, splashing out of pearls and jade, and the blue sky and white clouds, green mountains and green water projected by the magic weapon are lined with more fairy air by the mist.

Qing'er thought to herself that this was barely a way of hospitality, where were the gloomy and terrible cells in front of her where people could live, but ...... This stone room is still a little shabby, and I hope Her Royal Highness Xue Ji will not have any opinions.

"There's a cold vein here, and you'll be able to take a break here for a while and then see what to do. ”

After saying this, Jing Jiu took Qing'er out of the stone room and walked towards the other end of the passage.

His expression was natural, his steps were steady, and the sound of the soles of his boots falling to the ground was neither light nor heavy.

The door to the stone chamber closed slowly.

Jing Jiu continued to walk forward, silent and calm.

But for some reason, a tense and oppressive atmosphere gradually spread, enveloping the entire passage.

Suddenly, there was a murmur from the stone room.

Jing Jiu didn't seem to hear it, and continued to take a step forward.

If this step falls, it is the thirteenth step.

Zheng!

More than a dozen clear sword sounds suddenly sounded in the quiet passage.

Qing'er's little face was pale, and she felt great fear, and looked back at the stone room, only to see thirteen sword lights appear in the passage, and then converge into the stone wall, leaving only countless fierce and murderous sword intents, which have never faded like aftertaste.

Those sword intents were extremely powerful, terrifying to the extreme, and the realm was extremely high, she would shudder even if she looked at them.

Originally, there was no unusual passage, but it was instantly sealed by this forbidden sword array, and there seemed to be more than ten heavenly moats in the middle, which could not be crossed at all.

What's going on?

Qing'er looked at Jing Jiu in shock, and found that his face was also very pale, and he looked extremely tired, as if he had consumed a lot of energy, but his expression seemed to be much more relaxed.

This prohibition is called the Ice of All Things, and it was born from the Qingshan Sword Technique, and its power and level are countless times higher, consisting of thirteen sword formations, which contain countless sword intents.

After Jing Jiu left the stone room, he walked thirteen steps, and thirteen sword lights appeared in the passage, which was not that he was setting up a formation, but that he was closing the door.

"I said please come to Qingshan to rest for a while, but I can't confirm how long this time will take. ”

Without looking back, he looked at the light-lit hall in front of him and said, "Until I find a suitable way, I can only lock you up first, this is the only solution." ”

There was silence in the stone room for a long time, and then there was Yukihime's murmur again, a little faint, I don't know if it was anger or sadness.

"It is difficult for human beings to trust a powerful force until it is unable to control it, and even to destroy it. ”

Jing Jiu continued, "You should be well aware of this, so please agree with my approach, and please don't be angry. ”

After saying this, he did not stop any longer, and walked out.

Qing'er looked at him speechless in shock, thinking to herself what the hell was going on?

Didn't you invite Xue Ji to come to Qingshan to be the town guard, why did you suddenly put her in the sword prison?

Could it be that everything you said in the nunnery was false, just trying to trick her into Aoyama?

Jing Jiu didn't speak, and continued to walk, his steps were still so steady, and he fell to the ground, and the sound he made was neither light nor heavy as before.

I don't know if his mood at this time is heavy or relaxed, or if it has not been affected at all.

Qing'er felt even colder, not because of the cold veins at the bottom of the Sword Prison, not because of the terrifying demons in the cells on both sides of the passage.

She felt that Jing Jiu was so terrible that she didn't dare to sit on his shoulder anymore and quietly returned to Qingtianjian.

Jing Jiu knew what she was thinking, so he didn't say anything to explain, and he didn't pay attention to it, and walked in front of the corpse dog.

The light of day fell, illuminating the bottom of the well.

The corpse dog glanced at him, did not speak, but clearly felt the heaviness of each other's hearts.

......

......

Yes.

Jing Jiu agreed with Tong Yan's approach and left Lengshan with the sleeping Xue Ji without informing Qingshan or Bai Cheng, including waiting for her to wake up in the nunnery and say those words to her...... It's all fake.

This is not a conspiracy, not a trick, not cold-blooded, not greedy, not shameless, but the only solution.

Xue Ji is a descendant of the queen, and if she can't control it, if she comes to the world, it is very likely to bring disaster to the human race.

All the cultivation sects, including Guocheng Temple, and even cult sects like the Xuanyin Sect would demand that she be killed.

This situation is no different from that of the Taiping people back then.

This is impossible, it will definitely attract the whole world to besiege it, even if Aoyama is not afraid...... But why?

For some reason, and it has nothing to do with sympathy, Jing Jiu doesn't want Yukihime to die, so he has to find a way to lock her up, and he really can lock him up.

Looking at the Chaotian Continent, is there any place where Xue Ji can be imprisoned?

It's not good to suppress the demon hell, even if Canglong doesn't die, he can't lock Xue Ji because it's a living thing, not to mention that Canglong is dead now.

There is only the Castle Peak Sword Prison, and it can only be that cell.

That cell used to hold the Taiping Zhenren, and a powerful prohibition that sealed everything was arranged in advance.

Jing Jiu was able to take Zhao Layue into the prison cell, because he was the key to this prohibition.

Today he walked into the cell with Yukihime and walked out again, reclosing the doors with the key.

Now his realm is far worse than it was back then, and he can't rearrange the Ice Sealing Array of All Things, but the door is still the same door back then, and the key is still the key.

Even if Xue Ji grows up a little more, it is still not as strong as the Taiping Zhenren back then, and if that prison cell can lock up the Taiping Zhenren for three hundred years, it will be able to lock her up.

When he left the cell, Jing Jiu behaved very calmly and naturally, but in fact, he was extremely nervous.

It's not a psychological struggle born out of guilt or pity, he's just worried that Yukihime will find out the problem and rush out early.

It was the hardest step of his life.

Such a tense moment has only been experienced three times in his long life.

The first time was the civil strife in Qingshan more than 600 years ago, when he followed his senior brother to eat a hot pot and walked towards Mo Chengfeng with a sword.

The second time was more than 300 years ago, when he had a hot pot with Liu Ci and Yuan Qijing, and walked towards his senior brother with a sword.

Another time was today.

......

......

In the passage, the sword intent has been hidden in the stone wall, and the slightest sense of fierceness is not felt.

But apart from the tiniest things in the world, such as the mosquitoes in the Demon Suppression Prison, nothing alive can pass through here.

Xue Ji was wrapped in a quilt and sat quietly on the bed in the cell, looking a little pitiful.

Suddenly, she looked up at something.

There was a soft snap.

A tiny speck of ice fell to the ground and shattered, making it impossible to see what it was.

It was a mosquito from the Demon Suppressor.

Jing Jiu did a lot of things with these mosquitoes that no one could see, but it didn't mean anything to her.

The next moment, something very strange happened.

Suddenly, a thin line appeared on Yukihime's face, stretching from left to right.

It's like there's an invisible pen that's drawing.

The thread was red, like blood, and slowly parted.

Yukihime grinned and laughed silently.

Seems to be happy with all this.

......

......

(The night before yesterday, I took my niece to the hot springs, and my New Year's wish came true, and when I went to see the stars in the middle of the night, the leader shouted by the lake, do you want to lie down and watch, and my niece and I lay down honestly, and the starry sky is indeed more moving, but it is also very cold...... After a while, I got up with a chill and returned to the lake, where I found the leader smiling and satisfied. )
