Chapter 35: A Dream (I)
"Those are mortals, and there is no soul cleansing ointment." Shu Kui was very dissatisfied with what the girl had done.
"Isn't there still you? A living bodhisattva who saves suffering, a god and a god. The girl smiled softly, mockingly.
Shu Kui knew her temper well and didn't want to worry about her, so he didn't speak.
"By the way, what about Qingtan?" Something suddenly occurred to the girl.
"Tell me first, what's the use of you coming." Shu Kui didn't actually want to give it to her.
"Pharmaceutical." The girl replied briefly.
"What medicine?" Shu Kui has to know the details.
"Medicine that can help me ascend to immortality." The girl stood up.
"To help you ascend to immortality, do you need to use the Rejuvenation Saint Product?" Shu Kui didn't believe it.
The girl turned around slowly: "In terms of cultivation, I am not as good as you, but if it comes to using medicine to use Gu, in the world, I am called the second, who dares to say that it is the first?" Whether this medicine needs to be used or not, it's not up to you to have the final say, I just explain, you don't know anything about it, so, I want Qingtan, you bring it to me, after the medicine is made, you can study it however you want. ”
Shu Kui saw the girl's appearance for the first time - it was a thin and delicate face, with pale skin, almost no trace of blood, with an obvious sick look.
"If you really don't want to give, I'll figure it out myself, nothing more than spending a little more." The girl approached, her thin body was full of a strong smell of herbs, "In this world, there are many people who want me to prescribe medicine to save their lives, as long as I am not afraid of trouble, it should not be difficult to get a flower and a half of Qingtan." ”
Shu Kui looked at the girl, knowing that what she said was the truth, and was speechless for a while.
The girl also looked at Shu Kui, and there was disdain in her slender phoenix eyes that could not be concealed: "One flower, one life, you earned it." ”
Shu Kui thought for a long time, didn't agree or refused, turned around and left.
When she left the courtyard gate, it was dark in front of her, and she was surprised to find that she had returned to the forest, it was still night, and behind her, the entrance to the cave was still there, but there was no blue light pouring out.
Hallucination? Shu Kui's first thought was of those big mice with white tails.
But think about it again, the things she experienced in the illusion and the people she met didn't make her worry about her life, so it didn't look like the style of the big mice, so what was going on just now? Dreaming? Or hell?
When he was puzzled, the stick that had been holding tightly in his hand suddenly became cold and piercing, and at the same time, a warm current gushed out of his chest, as if to resist the cold of the stick, and the tide rushed to his right hand.
In an instant, the warm and cold currents were intertwined, not fused or antagonized against each other, but like a two-color rope woven together, from the hand to the arm, and then to the shoulder, quickly towards Shu Kui's chest.
Shu Kui was so frightened that he hurriedly wanted to throw the stick away, but he saw that the stick had become snow-white all over, and there was no more light, which was exactly the same as the one that could grow vines and lead out Gu worms in the hallucination.
And in less than a second, the warm and cold currents have gone straight to the chest like arrows.
Suddenly, Shu Kui's heart beat wildly, as if he was trying his best to absorb them all.
This is bitter Shu Kui - his eyes are black, his body is weak, he sweats and is dizzy, and he is nauseous for a while.
This went on for a long, long time, until she heard herself asking, "What's going on?" ”
"The devil came and snatched the spirit soldiers, and the king and the prince were sacrificed." Someone replied with tears in his voice.
"All sacrificed?" Shu Kui's eyes gradually became clearer, and he saw that he was sitting on the bed, and there was a girl dressed as a maid standing next to the bed.
The girl nodded and wiped her eyes.
"What about our people?" Shu Kui asked anxiously again.
"Also...... All sacrificed......" The girl couldn't help but sob.
This news was like a thunderbolt from the sky, which made Shu Kui's mind go blank, and he unconsciously leaned against the head of the bed, just staring at the ceiling in a daze.
"Miss, are you alright?" The girl was afraid that Shu Kui, who had been sleeping for a few days, would not be able to stand the blow.
"It's fine." Shu Kui came back to his senses suddenly, "What about the second miss, still haven't you found it?" ”
The girl nodded again.
"What is the identity of the Adversary? When did it come? Did you snatch all the spirit soldiers? How are Yulan and Kuixian doing now? Shu Kui slowly calmed down, "Also, how long have I been asleep?" ”
"You've slept for four days and three nights." Speaking of the situation in the past few days, the girl still had palpitations in her heart, "I don't know who the devil is, but I heard that on the night you just fell, he appeared, and first went to Youlan and snatched the Death Hook and Youtu Knife." Then, the Kui Immortal who arrived in the early morning of the next day, however, King Yukun desperately protected the Qitian Sword, so only the Silent Gun was robbed. ”
"Where are we?" Shu Kui thought that the remaining spirit soldiers must be more than lucky.
"Neither the butcher axe nor the mercy stick saved ......," the girl's voice lowered.
As he was talking, a paper crane broke through the window paper and fell in front of Shu Kui.
Shu Kui hurriedly opened it, and the four scribbled characters of "The Demon Repeats" came into view.
She recognized that this was the handwriting of Elder Kuixian Guoyu, so she hurriedly asked the girl to take her clothes and change them, and flew over as fast as she could.
Haocang Palace, which is simple and tidy on weekdays, is now unrecognizable and dilapidated, the ground is full of corpses and dying seriously wounded, almost bleeding, but there is silence.
Shu Kui was so anxious that he didn't care about treating the wounded, so he hurriedly ran to the main hall.
Once there, the situation was worse than outside, the entire dome was lifted, the beams and pillars crackled with clusters of flames, and the dead soldiers and mermaid hybrids were stacked on top of each other, and there was no place to put their feet.
"Elder Jade?" Shu Kui shouted.
There was a ** sound from next to the throne.
Shu Kui stepped forward and saw a blackened person, and after careful identification, it was not Elder Yu, but the merman Wang Aoxin.
"Your Highness." She crouched down, called softly, and performed a primary healing technique.
Ao Xin breathed a sigh of relief and nodded slightly to express his gratitude: "Elder Yu can't stop them." ”
"Them?" Shu Kui was stunned.
"Two people." Ao Xin is angry, "The devil has a candle, and there is ......"
With that, he began to cough vigorously and spat out large mouthfuls of blood.
"Who else?" Shu Kui wanted to treat him again.
"Don't ...... It's not saved...... Ao Xin refused, "they ...... There is a rod, and the soul is ...... It's all souls......"
At the end of the day, the sparkle in his eyes gradually dimmed.
Shu Kui slowly stood up, the uneasiness in his heart became more and more intense, and when he turned his head to look around, he still found no trace of Elder Yu.
"This fairy sister, are you looking for this old man?" As the voice of the voice came out of the inner room, it was a tall man, with red hair like fire, holding a person in one hand, and throwing it at Shu Kui's feet.
Shu Kui was startled and saw that it was Elder Yu's corpse that was thrown over.
"You...... You ......" She saw that Elder Yu's face was covered in blood, and most of his original chest-length silver beard had been burned off, and the sadness in her heart was instantly uncontrollable, and she couldn't even speak.
"What about me? Pretty powerful, right? The man smiled, revealing two deep, well-proportioned dimples.
"You're a candle?" Shu Kui forced himself to look away from Elder Yu's face.
"Exactly down there." The man bowed in a decent manner.
After confirming the identity of the other party, Shu Kui did not speak again, but raised his hand and pushed.
Immediately, countless tiny leaves flew from nowhere, and locusts seemed to be overwhelming.
Lian Candle didn't show any panic, just took a deep breath and exhaled, blowing the leaves off the track, or left and right, or up to the left and right, or up to fly him, nailed deep into the ruins of Haocang Palace.
Shu Kui had expected this, and raised his hand again halfway through the leaf, summoning a large ice edge, and also flew away quickly.
Lian Zhu smiled, and with just a wave of his hand, Bing Ling passed by again, without hurting him in the slightest.
"I thought you were smarter than the old man, but I didn't think so." He said.
"What about your companions?" Shu Kui didn't see the other person in Ao Xin's mouth from beginning to end.
"Of course, I'm looking for the Heavenly Sword." Even the candle is facing the mouth of Nunu in the inner room.
"What about Yu Kun? What about the prince? Shu Kui asked again.
"I don't know." Lian Candle grinned, I don't know if I really don't know or don't want to say.
"Why are you doing this? Why don't you even spare your own country? "Shu Kui has the impression that those who are enchanted often enjoy the world, living a leisurely life where no one offends me and I don't offend others.
"Because I hate you sorcerers, I hate the Ling family, who has no ability but has been the king to this day, and I can't get used to the gods of the heavenly realm who blindly favor mortals, and those people who are not human, and those who are not human, and the mixed blood of demons and demons, should not survive at all." Lian Candle raised his chin slightly, with an unstoppable expression, "I want you to know that not only in the Three Realms, but also in the heavens and the earth, I am the only leader. ”
Before the words fell, he suddenly felt a slight chill in the back of his head, and when he looked back, he was shocked.
A large group of small green leaves, wrapped in ice crystals, hovered in mid-air, shining like stars and diamonds against the backdrop of firelight, extremely pure and beautiful.
Lian Zhu knew that under this beauty, it was an irresistible killing move, so he hurriedly raised his hands, palms facing each other, drawing a semicircle from bottom to top, and summoning an air shield to block behind him.
The air shield is beginning to condense, and the blades have already hit. After a moment of stalemate, half of the leaves were blocked, and the other half broke through the barrier and pierced into the candle.
The qi shield dissipated suddenly, and Lian Candle gasped, and blood stains appeared on his body.
The ice crystals melted quickly, and the leaves did not stop there, but drilled into the body of the candle little by little like an awl, and it hurt so much that he could not stand steadily, and cold sweat was dripping.
Shu Kui had a gloomy face and looked at Yiqi in front of him without blinking.
Lian Candle slowly knelt down and lowered his head, as if the pain was extremely unbearable.
A gust of wind suddenly rose on the flat ground, cold and gloomy, blowing the fire around it without its brilliance, and covering the corpse's face with black gas.
Shu Kui's heart was not good, but he couldn't figure out what was going on.
Lian Candle muttered something, like chanting, like chanting, disturbing Shu Kui's heart suddenly, feeling that the danger was getting closer and closer.
