It is a typical Japanese-style pavilion building located in the underworld, with a spacious courtyard, and its name is Hakuyulou.

The garden is full of cherry trees, of different sizes and shapes. At this moment, the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, but in the sea of cherry trees, only a huge cherry tree does not have a single petal of cherry blossoms.

The thick trunk of the tree is covered with traces of time, and the bare branches make it seem so abrupt and lonely in the sea of cherry blossom trees.

"Why are you here in a daze again?"

As Youmu stared at the huge bare cherry tree in a daze, a voice came from behind her. The tone of this voice is a little slower, but it gives people a sense of elegance and calmness from the voice.

Turning around, a girl about seventeen or eighteen years old was floating over.

Yes, yes, with the float. Because she is also a ghost no matter how she says it, naturally she will not walk slowly like a human.

With soft long hair and eyes the same color as cherry blossoms, she is like a fairy in this sea of cherry trees. However, her complexion is too light, and she always feels like she is about to become transparent.

He wears a blue hat on his head and a celestial crown (a triangular scarf worn by the dead in Japan, which is often seen in ghosts). He wears a blue and white kimono with plenty of ruffles embedded in his clothes. The kimono is embroidered with patterns of butterflies and southern bamboo.

A bamboo fan in her hand was unfolded, giving her a little more elegance and classical temperament, as if she was an aristocratic lady who came out of an ancient canvas.

This girl with a noble and elegant temperament is the owner of this white jade building, the eldest lady of the Xixing Temple family, and the Yuyuko of the Xixing Temple who needs to be protected and taken care of by the demon dream.

Youmeng, who was questioned by Yuyuko, turned around and shook his head: "I don't know. ”

"And you're still looking at it? Isn't it because you want to see it bloom? Yuyuko said with a shallow smile as she looked at the huge but bare cherry tree.

Youmeng followed Yuyuko's line of sight and looked at the top of the cherry tree: "When I came back to my senses, I had already come to this. ”

"Huh." Hearing Youmeng's words, Yuyuko covered her lips with a bamboo fan and let out a chuckle: "It's not cute to use this tone." I won't be able to find a man in the future. ”

"This life is enough." Youmu retorted with a serious expression.

"Hehe, sure enough, this kind of demon dream is very cute." Yuyuko, who seemed to be happy because of Youmu's words, bent down and rubbed her cheek against Youmu's cheek and let out a happy laugh.

Although the Yukame looked like she was troubled by Yuyuko's movements, she didn't resist and let her eldest lady do whatever she wanted on her cheeks.

Looking at the huge bare cherry blossom tree, Yumu couldn't stop sighing in her heart.

This cherry tree, called "Westward Demon", has the ability to induce death. In order to seal it, the eldest lady sacrificed herself.

And now that she has become a ghost, she has forgotten what she once was.

The eldest lady who is still alive, like this cherry blossom that has been sealed, has the ability to cause death. It is precisely because of her disgust with her own ability, and it is precisely because she has the same ability as this demon of the cherry tree, that the eldest lady will accept the so-called mission to arrange to seal the cherry tree.

However, the eldest lady, who was reincarnated as a ghost, was used to causing death, and was even appointed by Enma as the ruler of the underworld.

The eldest lady who sacrificed herself in order to eliminate the terrifying power that led people to death must be able to be called kind. However, good people have to suffer such an ironic fate, and Yumu gets irritated whenever she thinks of it.

As long as the eldest lady can spend every day happily like she is now, and her smile, I will definitely protect it! The young demon dream made such a vow in his heart.

And this man actually said that he was kind? Youmeng hates kindness, even if she does keep her hand as Zhou Yan said, but it is one thing to do it subconsciously, and it is another thing to be pointed out.

From the beginning, Youmeng's sword was never confused, so she wouldn't be entangled. And being pointed out that she was "kind" made her feel disgusted and even irritable.

If you think so, then go a little more than that!

As a result, the swinging double knives were no longer merciful, and more and more wounds appeared on Zhou Yan's body.

This is really a story of tragedy. However, Zhou Yan also guessed that his words might lead to such a result. But he doesn't know the truth and the inside story, he just thinks that Youmeng is arrogant.

"Did I say yes? Then sue me, what are you doing for the hell? ”

What a nasty man. Youmeng frowned slightly, she was already starting to get bored, she was disgusted by this self-righteous man, she didn't want to hear him say much, so she ......

"What......" Youmeng's movements suddenly accelerated and Zhou Yan exclaimed, but by the time he wanted to act, the slash was already coming.

"Empty Sword, Six Pure Slashes!"

This was the last voice Zhou Yan heard before the slash was about to die. As for what happened after that, Zhou Yan no longer knows.

Yes, there is no pain, but with it there are also sights, hearings, tastes, smells. Now, only the consciousness is still circling in the mind, but the feeling of the body is all gone.

"Exactly, what happened?" I was talking to myself, and a strong sense of fear immediately rose.

Is this what it feels like to be dead? But you seem to be alive, huh? I don't understand, so it's the unknown, and the unknown is the most terrible existence.

What the hell is going on? Only the consciousness was thinking in the darkness, while the five senses disappeared without a trace, and could not even feel the passage of time, as if it had been exiled from the world.

What am I going to do?

"Yan!"

When Zhou Yan was gradually confused by his fear of the unknown, Li's voice connected to his consciousness.

"Glass? Glass! Glass, are you there? What's going on? Glass? Glass? Glass! ”

Li's voice was the only light in the darkness for Zhou Yan at this moment, and it was the last straw in the hands of the drowning man.

"Wait, why can't you see anything over there?"

"I don't know ......"

"Wait a minute......"

There was silence for a while, and soon Li's voice came again: "Wow, Yan, why are you standing here still?" Spread out? Hey, Yan? ”

Outside, in a burst of light, Li appeared in a figure, she ignored the people around her who were in confusion and surprise because of her strange way of appearing, just looked at Zhou Yan who was motionless, stretched out her hand and shook it in front of his eyes, but found that Zhou Yan did not react.

With a special connection, the two can communicate through guò consciousness, and at this moment, glass has become the only way for Zhou Yan to understand the outside world.

By replacing the control of the body, Zhou Yan, who became a state of soul drifting, finally "saw" the situation in the outside world again.

At this moment, his body was standing there, motionless, as if he had died. But his body did not suffer as expected. In his last memory, he should have been broken by the demon dream, and those two swords were already on the way.

Is it a swordsmanship that cuts off the five senses? Zhou Yan instantly thought of this possibility, and judging from his current state, it was indeed the case.

Looking from afar, it was Youmeng who chased in front of Youyou and Yu'er again, and the few remaining guards between them were obviously unstoppable. Rudy had already gotten up and was rushing over there, but he probably couldn't count on it when he looked stumbling from his injury.

And further afield, the several guards of Serukai who had just stopped the assassins, should they be said to be elite? Despite being outnumbered, all the Assassins have been eliminated. However, several of them were already showing signs of weakness, and were taking potions from their clothes, apparently wounded by the poisonous blades of the assassins.

The remaining two were running over with all their might, but it was clearly too late.

Zhou Yan didn't know what happened after that, because he had exchanged with Li, and his consciousness returned to his body, but he couldn't feel the outside world because he lost all his five senses.

"I really don't want to use it, this kind of trick." Zhou Yan sighed in his heart.

As often said in novels, people who go out to wander have a mastery to save their lives, and there is also a peerless Zhou Yan who will pay the price and gain strength in an instant.

It's just that if you don't mention that kind of trick, you need to pay a great price, and you may even have your own life, and the most important thing is that Zhou Yan's trick is very peculiar.

That is, the user must be in a state of life and death, in the words of Zhou Yan's mother, it is probably similar to a vegetative person. However, coincidentally, the swordsmanship of Demon Dream that cut off Zhou Yan's five senses happened to create this condition.

Zhou Yan, who has lost all five senses, only has consciousness left at the moment, but Demon Dream's swordsmanship is more than that. I'm afraid that if Zhou Yan's state continues for a long time, he will be brain dead himself.

In fact, Li, who is closely connected with Zhou Yan, is telling Zhou Yan with her consciousness, and she feels that Zhou Yan's life is getting weaker and weaker.

I don't have time to hesitate, I can't see Zhu'er die, and if I continue to cover it up, I will die.

Zhou Yan, who had made up his mind, began to carefully recall the last posture of his body that he had just seen. Then, he begins to generate thoughts of action, or rather, he begins to direct his body to act.

The five senses are sealed, but the receiving end is sealed. But it doesn't mean that Zhou Yan can't control his body at the moment. In fact, while he is still conscious, he can give instructions to his body.

It's just that this instruction is prone to errors because of the lack of feedback.

Like what......

Li was still trying to call Zhou Yan from the outside world, but the next moment she was so frightened that she jumped backwards, only to see Zhou Yan, who was still motionless, suddenly slashed at her neck with a long sword.

The long sword was only castrated, and it looked like Zhou Yan was going to commit suicide.

However, this sword stopped when the blade just touched the skin of Zhou Yan's neck, forming a movement that was about to kill itself. The position and timing of the blade's stop are in seconds. As long as he advances one more inch, the major artery in Zhou Yan's neck will be cut, and he will really kill himself.

And this qiē all comes from the instructions issued by Zhou Yan's own will, because he cannot receive tactile feedback, and naturally he cannot adjust his actions immediately after issuing the instructions. So for the sake of his own safety, Zhou Yan could only actually give a one-time command to his body, that is, how hard to wave his hand and when to stop. That's why there was a scene where he swung his sword at himself and finally stopped suddenly. Only Zhou Yan himself knows how big the amount of calculation is.

However, from the feedback he received from Li, Zhou Yan knew that he had succeeded. This time, he didn't know the bottom of his own heart.

With the posture set up, Zhou Yan began to use his mind to give instructions to the true qi in his body this time. There is still no tactile feedback, but the flow of true qi is much more controllable than the movement of the body.

"Li, stay away from me. Well, tell everyone else to stay away from me as well. When Zhou Yan conveyed this sentence to Li, he devoted himself to the control of true qi.

When Zhou Yan was ready, or Zhou Yan, who couldn't get feedback, could only rely on his own calculations to make sure that he was on the right track, he silently said in his heart: "I have a sword that can cut my life." ”

The demon dream sword slashed at the short sword that Yoyo used to resist, and the girl magician let out a sad cry and was swept away by the power on the demon dream sword.

Now, no one can stop Youmeng, and in front of her is a defenseless Yu'er.

Facing the murderous demon dream in front of her, Yu'er showed a frightened expression on her face, and her mind was just a child, she subconsciously looked at Zhou Yan, but Zhou Yan, who was standing not far away, just made a gesture to kill herself.

I'm sorry. Youmeng thought silently in his heart. But she didn't hesitate, because she wanted to go back to where she lived, to the eldest lady.

So, Youmeng raised the small sword in his right hand - the Bailou Sword. It is a weapon that has been passed down from generation to generation by the Soul Clan, and this sword can cut through the confusion of mankind.

I hope that you, who were killed by Bai Lou, can become a Buddha in a smooth way.

muttered to himself silently in his heart, and Youmeng was about to swing his knife and cut it down. However, before swinging the knife, she felt the crisis and jumped away from the spot without thinking.

It's not just Youmeng, everyone now feels that something is wrong. Even Yasuo and Akali stopped in the heat of the fight.

Because it passes by with the wind, there is a sword qi close. And the source of these fierce sword qi flying wantonly was Zhou Yan, who seemed to kill himself.
