Volume 2: The Shura Realm II. Secrets

A wisp of red glow fell silent a little bit on the horizon of Huangyu, and a figure at the overpass moved sneakily towards the island, turning back three times in one step, as if he was afraid of something. Gu Lanxun returned from the overpass with an ugly face, and he couldn't get angry when he remembered Bai Ri Viduo's unbeaten expression.

'Oh, you're such a big kid, you don't need your brother to send you home, right?'

"What, if Sister finds me sneaking out to play, you are the culprit, and you are not allowed to escape!"

'Haha, you have the ability to catch me~'

Then under Kaoru Gulan's frenzied gaze, Victor flew away, yes, he flew away. Thinking of this, the former almost suspected that his head was broken, otherwise how could he agree to go out with Victor? But looking at the current situation, Sister Ah should not have found out, otherwise Huangyu would not be so quiet.

Carefully moved to the edge of the cliff of Huangyu, she was not very familiar with the path here, it must be said that this was the fourth time she had passed, and she had been out of the door four times in ten years. Climbing up the edge of the cliff with both hands, Kaoru looked around, she must have taken the wrong path, but she couldn't see the surroundings clearly when it was getting late. In desperation, adhering to the idea of going down a road to reach the destination sooner or later, Gu Lanxun had just turned over a huge phoenix bone rock, and suddenly there was a faint sound of conversation in his ears.

"Are you sure you want to do this?"

The stranger's voice suddenly alerted Gu Lanxun, there were only three kinds of people who could come to Huangyu, one was her mother's friend, one was a thief who coveted her bloodline, and the other was a righteous gentleman who was taboo against her demonic heart. Obviously, this voice was definitely not something that Gu Lanxun had heard. With his hands attached, Kaoru carefully moved along the cliff to the source of the sound, wanting to hear it more realistically, but the sound from the next moment directly calmed the person who still wanted to move.

The eldest sister's familiar voice said: "You must do it, but you have to test it." ”

"When will she return?"

"According to the news, the day after tomorrow at the latest. ”

The stranger seemed to have made some moves, only to hear the eldest sister's voice with some impatience: "I will give it to you, don't worry, I still need your help during this time." ”

"Oops, I've been waiting for six years, finally, finally. ”

"Once it's done, you don't have to contact it. ”

The huge amount of information made Gu Lanxun's head turn around, and it was difficult to digest for a while, what was the situation? This person was a friend of Sister A? Why didn't she know? What did six years mean, the two had known each other for six years? What were they going to do? However, one thing Gu Lanxun was sure of, the two of them did not want outsiders to hear about the conversation here.

The hand holding the cliff froze, although Gu Lanxun didn't understand what her sister was doing, but she believed that her sister would not have bad intentions, and if this was the case, she shouldn't eavesdrop, but somehow, she had an intuition that if she didn't figure out what happened tonight, she would regret it in the future. Still hesitating here, his name was suddenly called, and Gu Lanxun was startled.

The stranger's voice was a little teasing: "Oh, by the way, I met your little Xun'er when I went to the market in the afternoon, tsk, it's amazing, I almost killed a third-order knot." ”

Gu Lanxun secretly screamed in her heart that it was not good, and sure enough, the eldest sister's tone was obviously impatient: "She went out......?" I really grew up and had an idea. ”

"Oh, be careful of the ducks that have been raised for ten years. ”

What is a duck, as if it was going to eat me, Gu Lanxun frowned, didn't want to listen to the conversation between the two anymore, and thought about how to deal with the anger of the eldest sister for a while, and crawled out carefully.

"I've raised her for ten years, ten years of caution, don't blame me if she makes a mess for me now. ”

The cold tone was like a basin of cold water splashed on Gu Lanxun's heart, her fingertips trembled slightly, as if she had been pricked by a needle, I don't know if it was an illusion, in the words of the eldest sister, she heard an emotionless killing intent. However, this thought only appeared for a moment and disappeared, Gu Lanxun endured the discomfort just now in his heart, comforting himself, haha, my sister must be beating me, I can't add to the chaos.

With a distraction, the rocks under Kaoru's feet slammed into the air, and the inaudible sound was infinitely amplified in the night.

Gu Lanhan's cold voice shouted angrily: "Who?"

Kaoru was startled, her brain racing, and her instinct told her that she must not let her sister find out that she was eavesdropping, but she couldn't move at all when she was on a cliff. It was too late, it was too fast, and just as the eldest sister's figure was approaching, Gu Lanxun suddenly let go, and fell into the air with only one hand, and wailed: "Ahhhh

Gu Lanhan came in an instant, and was obviously taken aback when he saw that it was his sister: "Xiao Xun, why are you here?"

Gu Lanxun took his acting talent to the extreme, and said, "Sister, why are you here......? Come out...... Well...... Take a walk, sister, no, I can't hold it anymore, you pull me up. ”

Gu Lanhan didn't have time to ask, and when he saw that his sister was about to fall off the cliff, he dragged her up with one hand: "You don't fool me, what Victoria, what are you doing here?"

Gu Lanxun gritted his teeth and looked embarrassed: "I...... Sister, don't be angry, I was dragged by Victor to play, who knew that he was afraid that you would hit him after you found out, so he threw me down from the air and ran away by himself......"

In the night, the eldest sister's expression became more and more solemn: "It's just so?"

Gu Lanxun pretended to be surprised: "It's just? Oh, yes, it's just that." Haha, I just went out for a walk. ”

On the surface, Kaoru's heart was about to fly out of his throat, and the temperature around him became colder and colder with the eldest sister's suspicion, and the killing intent when the eldest sister was talking to a stranger just now seemed to be rising again. Gu Lanxun only felt that she was crazy tonight, and she even suspected twice that her sister, who had raised her for ten years, had murderous intentions towards her.

The short but as if a few spring and autumn periods had finally passed, Gu Lanhan shook his head and withdrew his suspicious gaze: "That's it, you don't have to sleep tonight, practice qi a hundred times, and make up for today's work." ”

The words like a pardon order made Gu Lanxun feel relieved, and she almost fell to the ground, she was sure that the aura of the eldest sister just now was not as simple as chatting with a close friend and being discovered, it was like a plan to kill people and set fire to be exposed. Gu Lanxun didn't have time to think about it, and nodded hurriedly: "Oh, I'll go practice." ”

"Wait. ”

The footsteps he had just taken were forced to stop, and Gu Lanxun turned around stiffly: "Eldest sister?"

Han Sanfen reluctantly opened his lips, as if he had returned to his previous appearance: "Next time I find out that you sneaked out, don't think about fooling you so easily." ”

The ghost sent the gods, and the person who should have answered immediately and left, turned around, Kaoru didn't know what was wrong with him, but he opened his mouth and asked, "Why hasn't the eldest sister allowed me to go out?"

Gu Lanhan frowned slightly: "......"

If you don't get an answer, it's the best answer, Gu Lanxun breathed a sigh of relief, I don't know if the eldest sister found out by herself, the more she doesn't want outsiders to know anything, the more she emphasizes something, if she really has a clear conscience, she likes to be silent.

Gu Lanxun smiled slightly: "Outsiders covet my bloodline, and the eldest sister is worried about me." ”

Not expecting a response, Kaoru saluted and turned around and walked towards the bedroom, and just after taking a few steps, the eldest sister sighed helplessly behind him: "Of course I'm worried about you." ”

One night was dreamless, the sun rose the next day, and everything that had happened last night seemed like an illusion that never existed. What conspiracy, what murderous intentions were defeated by the reality in front of them. On the cultivation ground, Gu Lanxun's face twitched tightly, and the demonic power in his lower abdomen that should have been gas-like was now as thick as blood, and as the qi of heaven and earth poured into his body, every time he injected it, it was like a crack in severe pain, and the cold sweat on his forehead flowed down wantonly, and his lips were already purple and bloodless. Cultivation is pain, this is the truth that Kaoru has realized since she was four years old, every year with the overload of demonic power in her body the pain has reached the extreme, but the next year when she is sad to realize that this pain is not the extreme, as long as it is not strong, the sharp pain of the demonic power will not be far away from her for half a moment.

Slowly opened his eyes, his eyelashes were already soaked with cold sweat, and Gu Lanxun's voice was hoarse and asked the eldest sister not far away: "Sister, four hours have come." ”

Han Zheng sat upright on a high stone, and the scarlet demonic power behind him snatched out of his body, intertwined into six looming phoenix tails, Kaoru couldn't tell that the eldest sister had cultivated to various realms now, but it was obvious that the eldest sister was not far from becoming holy if she could transform into a demonic power.

"Four more hours. ”

'Ah-' lamented in her heart, Kaoru was not lazy, on the contrary, her desire for power would only be more ardent than that of her eldest sister, but this kind of cultivation seemed to Kaoru to be neither reasonable nor meaningful. Looking at the eldest sister's calmness when she cultivated, and then looking at the calm and relaxed cultivation of the Bai Sect disciples on the Jade Shadow's side, no one cultivated like Kaoru as if he was dying.

"Eldest sister, when will I be able to get married?"

β€œ......”

"Then can I know why I can't get married?"

"There's no need. ”

Gu Lanxun was completely appointed, pursed his mouth and closed his eyes and continued to cultivate, but Gu Lanhan on the side opened his eyes, a demonic fire flashed under his eyes, and the flame red pupils stared at his sister. Yesterday, Kaoru beat the young patriarch of the dwarf deer clan to half death under the island, she has inquired clearly, and the dwarf deer patriarch is still looking for the person who beat his daughter, and then chased all the way to Huangyu, so he swallowed his anger and stopped pursuing it.

One shot to break the third order, the demonic power in Xun's body is not to mention the level of a small consummation realm, Gu Han didn't know what he was pondering, and suddenly his ears moved, and he looked up not far away. Kaoru, who had just settled down, also noticed something, and the concubine's eyes opened and flashed with excitement.

"Huh-" The sound of the phoenix chirping came from afar, as ethereal as if it had crossed time and space, and a red light ignited half of the sky, and a small dot quickly amplified at a speed visible to the naked eye. The five-colored feathers of the sun bird in the middle of the day turned into a colorful glow in the wind, and every time the huge wings that covered the sky were waved, it was a gust of wind, and the red eyes were burning with flames, and the space was distorted by the high temperature.

"Mother!" Gu Lanxun propped up with one hand under him, turned over and jumped off the boulder, happy like a little bird, rushing towards the direction where his mother might fall. Gu Lanhan didn't move, looking at the fire phoenix in the distance, his brows furrowed a little.

As the fire phoenix in the air got closer and closer, Gu Lanxun's steps slowed down, the corners of his mouth that were excited to hook up froze a little bit, and a wave of panic surged into her heart, she couldn't really see it when she was far away just now, but now she saw it clearly. Inexplicable black qi surged in the body of the fire phoenix, no matter how the latter struggled, the gas was like a maggot on the tarsal bones that could not be shaken off, every time the phoenix cried was not a call to her daughter, but a painful wail of being tortured by the black gas, Gu Xuexiu's wings waved at a strange angle, and the bones bent back.

The scorching heat of the "Mother ......" forced Gu Lanxun to stop urgently, and the phoenix that stumbled in mid-air fell vertically and smashed directly into the place where the former landed. The sudden change made Kaoru's mind blank for a while, and he didn't have time to dodge, and suddenly there was a pain in his chest, and the whole person was kicked away. Gu Lanhan just knocked his sister away, looked up and saw his mother smashing towards him, clapped his hands, and his whole body rose to the sky with demonic power, turning into a scorching phoenix head several feet high around his body, and a piercing sound wave suddenly erupted from the mouth of the sharp phoenix beak.

The impact of the sound waves brought the free-falling Fire Phoenix back to its senses, and its eyes shrouded in black mist revealed a little clarity. Kaoru in the distance covered her aching chest and looked at her mother who was about to collide with her eldest sister in panic, just when the two were a little apart, the fire phoenix suddenly turned over, and the broken wing bone struggled to slam out, accompanied by a miserable long roar, Gu Yan Xiu used his last strength to stop in mid-air, and then rushed to the dormitory not far away.

Gu Lanxun got up from the ground and ran towards Han: "Eldest sister!"

Pushing away his sister who wanted to help him up, Han got up and ran to his mother's room, followed by Kaoru.

The dark brown door was locked tightly, and no matter how Gu Lanxun knocked, the people in the room just didn't move, and the bloody breath mixed with a strange aura floated out along the crack in the door.

The eldest sister calmly pushed away the anxious sister, raised her leg and threw it at the door, "Bang-" A red light flashed, as the door pressed heavily on the ground, Gu Lanxun's pupils constricted, and the next second swept past the eldest sister and rushed into the room: "Mother!"

Gu Xiu had already turned into a human form, and the whole person was prostrate on the ground, and the dark gas emitted from his body finally revealed his prototype. For some reason, Kaoru, who had never seen it before, guessed what it was at the first sight of itβ€”demonic energy. The woman had been beaten by the demonic qi and kneaded to the point that she was completely fainted, her dark red armor was covered with blood, and her left hand was broken every inch, like a branch that had been run over by a carriage and was on her back.

Reaching out and touching her mother's body, Kaoru stiffened, "Poof-" The heart felt like it had been hit by something, and it shook like a drum in the body, and then looked down at the hand holding the mother, and the wisps of demonic energy climbed down the girl's delicate skin towards her heart.

"Why are you stunned? Help her to the bed. ”

The eldest sister's voice recalled the stunned person in time, Kaoru suppressed the inexplicable throbbing of her heart, and hurriedly cooperated with Han to resist the half-dead person to the bed: "Sister, what's wrong with my mother?"

Gu Lanhan said coldly: "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, go out." ”

"I'll leave ......"

"Get out. ”

Pushed and thrown out of the door by the eldest sister without saying anything, Kaoru looked at the re-installed door in a daze, the sudden change made her at a loss, half an hour ago she was still practicing with the eldest sister in the sun, but at this moment she was separated by a door and the life and death of the uncertain mother. Looking down at the hand that had just brushed his mother, a trace of magic power hovered and loomed, and the demonic energy that tortured his mother was as well-behaved as a pet in Kaoru's body.

The Zhonghuan Realm in the center of the Demon Realm Continent has four distinct seasons, and unlike the long-term autumn wind on the border of Huangyu, it is the warmest spring of the year at this moment. Overlooking the Bai Sect in the center of the Middle Circle from the height of the Holy Domain, the figures on the ground were so small that they disappeared from view, and only a circle of concentric circles of white buildings stood majestically between heaven and earth. From the outer circle to the inside, the outermost circle of buildings is pure white, where the outer disciples and nominal disciples train and live, and the inner circle is plain white, which is the residence of the inner disciples. The most central building is like the Temple of Heaven, the floors are hung around the Temple of Heaven, the strange flowers and plants are dotted between the cornices and the sky, and the distant view is like a thousand mountains and snow, exquisite and exquisite. A towering ancient tree that can only be held by a hundred people stands in the middle of the Temple of Heaven, with a pale trunk as if it were a living body, and the crown of the tree is covered with plain slender leaves.

At this time, under the cangsheng tree, a girl about fifteen years old in white was sitting cross-legged, with a game of chess in front of her. Bai Xinxin picked up a son, thinking about where to fall next, while the cold shadow on the side was babbling and complaining about the recent unhappiness.

"Do you know what Xiu'er has been busy with in the past few years?"

Bai Xinxin only smiled and passed by, noncommittal.

"One or two are crazy, the dragon lady is willing to fall, and there is no movement in the dragon clan. Xiu'er is looking for some way to resurrect every day, and the demon's ashes are gone, and she is still full of unrealistic ideas," Han Ying Gong blew his beard and glared: "Her body has been bad since she gave birth to Xun'er, and now she is contaminated with demonic energy, and sooner or later she will go mad!"

Bai Xinxin stretched out his hand and dropped a hand, and a trace of loneliness flashed in his white eyes: "If you are worried, go and take a look." ”

"Huh, she's back?"

"Hmm," a white light flashed in front of Bai Xinxin's eyes: "I just returned to Huangyu today." ”

When Han Ying Gong heard this, he was about to get up and look for it, but after thinking about something, he sat back again with a breath out of his nostrils: "That's it, I'm too lazy to look at her half-dead appearance, angry." ”

"Whoa-" The remaining sunspots in his hand were all thrown back into the chess box, and Bai Xinxin slowly stood up from the ground: "If you have time, let's go and see more, don't regret it in the future." ”

The inexplicable words made Han Yinggong's heart chill, and he asked nervously, "What do you mean?

Bai Xinxin sorted out his clothes, and with a wave of his hand, he summoned the disciples who were guarding the pillar of heaven and earth, and instructed: "I will leave this time, and when I return in three days, you will clean a room in the cabinet." ”

The disciple looked at the sect master in surprise, the cabinet is a place where the disciples can live, who is the master going to bring back?

Han Ying Gong also said suspiciously, "Where are you going?"

"Huangyu. ”

"Do what?"

"Pick up someone, are you coming?"

The ice wheel hangs high on the branches, on the top of the high mountain cliff in Huangyu, as if close to the full moon, the night is shrouded in the cold cultivation ground, and on the huge soundproof stone engraved with the word "Xiu" at its main entrance, Gu Lanxun sits with two snow-white calves like lotus roots, rubbing a blade of grass in his hand, staring melancholy at his mother's bedroom not far away, without blinking.

It has been a full eight hours since the eldest sister pushed Kaoru out, but there is still no movement in the house, and Han has never come out. Ten thousand questions swirled through Kaoru's mind, but no one could answer her.

In the past, her mother went out repeatedly, Kaoru never asked much, she knew that she should not interfere in the affairs of adults, but now that she saw her mother dying, she could no longer be a good girl who obeyed her words, what had her mother been busy with all these years? Why did she become contaminated with demonic energy? Why did the eldest sister know it, but she couldn't know it? In a trance, Kaoru remembered the secret conversation between the eldest sister and the strange girl last night, and her brain, which was already full of doubts, was about to explode, what was the eldest sister preparing? Could it have something to do with her mother? Why didn't she know anything?

"Ahh

Kaoru jumped down from the soundproofing stone, unable to endure the long wait any longer, and walked towards her mother's dormitory, drumming in her heart with every step. Stretching out his hand over the door of the dormitory, Kaoru was about to knock on the door, when suddenly, there was a sound of a porcelain bowl breaking from inside the door.

The mother's weak voice was full of anger: "What are you to dare to care about me?"

"Don't dare, my daughter is just worried about her mother's body, if you are still obsessed and frequently exploring the Shura Realm, the contaminated demonic energy will inevitably swallow up your phoenix bloodline, and it will be ...... then."

"Slap-" The crisp slap could feel its strength through the heavy door, and Kaoru stiffened, looking incredibly in the direction of her mother's voice.

"Presumptuous! Who are you talking to?"

Han's voice was a little vague, as if the corner of his lips had been cracked with a slap just now: "If you don't think about yourself, you should also think about the Phoenix bloodline, for a man who has been dead for ten years, it's not worth it." ”

The cold killing intent was not concealed in the slightest, and Gu Yanxiu's voice was low and terrifying: "You say it again." ”

"Mother, there is no resurrection trickery in the ancient heavens, even if you find the Demon Domain, it is impossible for him to come back to life. ”

"Bang-bell-"

It was the sound of a bang again, but this time it was clear that Han resisted, and there was no more words in the door, replaced by the sound of tables and chairs clattering. Gu Lanxun couldn't hold back any longer, kicked the tightly clasped door away, and when he saw the vision in front of him, his pupils shrank sharply, and his blood instantly coagulated.
