Chapter 520: Rest in peace
Li Xi's funeral was very simple.
Green mountains and green waters surround a simple tomb, and it is rare to find a clean place outside the Devil Crying Forest, which is where his bones are buried. Li Xi's natal magic weapon Tianxiang Ding stands in front of the tombstone, and the cooking fire is burning under the ding, and the boiling broth in the ding will never be exhausted. The steam is thick, vaguely like the smiling face of a fat man.
Next to Li Xi's grave, the clothed mounds of Wang Donghua and Shen Yiwen stood in turn in the order of their brothers.
Led by Ouyang Shang, the spirit sword monks present sang the send-off song softly, bidding farewell to the Taoist friends who unfortunately parted first on the way to the immortal path.
The Spirit Sword Sect never pays attention to red tape, and the sadness and anger hide in the bottom of their hearts with the singing, and after the song is finished, Ouyang Shang led the team to set up a protective formation to expel the beasts and poisonous insects and keep the place safe. Then the group continued on their journey.
Along the way, no one said a word about Li Xi's death, because there was no need for extraneous matters at this time. Moreover, in the golden generation, there are no people who are unreasonable and do not distinguish between right and wrong.
Wang Lu slashed Li Xi with the Chaos Breaking Sword Qi, causing him to be annihilated, and the courage and ruthlessness of his methods made people shudder, and he was ruthless to his fellow disciples, and it seemed that it was easy to cause criticism. But at that time, how can a woman's kindness be tolerated? Moreover, Li Xi threw rotten bones into the soup with poison, and none of the elites present noticed that if Wang Lu had not received special training, that pot of broth might have caused heavy casualties!
At that time, Li Xi was no longer the well-known genius fat chef, maybe he was just a walking corpse at that time, who was changed...... The most correct thing to do is to let them rest in real peace.
What's more, Wang Lu's sword qi erupted with all his strength, not only burying Li Xi, but also severely damaging the primordial spirit attached to it...... The mournful wail in the distance startled thousands of birds, and they could be heard clearly from a distance.
Wang Lu's Chaotic Heaven-Breaking Sword Qi can be called an immortal-level sword qi, and the strength of the power is not under the sword heart, but it is a pity that it is limited to its own realm, and it cannot be done once and for all. Maybe you can guarantee peace for a short time, but after that, no one can say.
There are still too many problems that need to be solved, such as...... When exactly was Li Xi charged? The group always gathered together, even if it was camping, when Li Xi ran a little farther away to catch prey, he was always scanned by the divine sense of his senior brother, and there was almost no gap.
It's not that Li Xi is not at ease, but he is in a dangerous situation and faces the threat of a strong enemy, and they must always take care of each other to ensure safety. It's a pity that such a deliberate method still has problems, and the truth has not been restored until now, which can't help but cast a shadow on everyone's hearts.
What's next? Even if a strong man has the courage to break his wrist and abandon a qiē to return to the mountain gate, but from the Ghost Crying Forest back to the Spirit Sword Mountain, this journey will take at least six or seven days, it is hard to imagine that the demon king will sit idly by, and how many Spirit Sword disciples will be killed by it during this period?
"Senior Brother Wang Lu, do you have any ideas?"
On the way, Ouyang Shang Yuanshen transmitted the voice and asked quietly. The reason for not disclosing the content is that he is worried that Wang Lu actually has an answer, but that answer may destroy the confidence of others.
Wang Lu replied: "It's a pity that there is no ...... I'm not hiding anything, no matter how cruel the truth is, it's better than not knowing the truth. But...... I don't remember the elders teaching me back then, and the demons still have this kind of means of manipulating puppets. ”
"According to what you said, the elders learned the lessons and refined all kinds of ways to deal with them after the great sacrifice, and it was impossible for them to master all the methods of the demons, and they ......"
Wang Lu smiled bitterly: "And the historical line has undergone heavy changes, and it is natural for a new situation to appear." It's just that if you fight with such an opponent, you may face an extremely cruel situation in the next period of time. ”
Because it is impossible to judge the way the opponent controls the puppet, it is impossible to prevent and predict, and the matter of Fat Li Xi will never be the last, and the opponent will only become more cunning.
This time, the poisoning was discovered by Wang Lu, and that was because the secret medicine of the demon race, Red Blood Poison, which should not have been known to humans, happened to be within Wang Lu's identification range, but what about next time? Even Elder Lu Li had never said that he could identify all the demon poisons, and of course Wang Lu was not sure.
And the poisoning is small, as long as the opponent is not stupid, it is easy to think of a more effective method: fratricide.
He can control Li Xi to poison Dingzhong, and turn his face and do it after being recognized, so of course he can also control other people, pretending to be nothing unusual on the surface, and then suddenly outbursting and hurting people...... Even if he doesn't succeed, it will severely damage the trust relationship between the Spirit Sword disciples.
The golden generation is like brothers and sisters, and the tacit understanding of decades is indestructible. But that is based on knowing each other's roots, if you can't even determine whether the other party is a real person, tacit understanding and trust are all empty words.
"And there's an even more fatal problem here." Ouyang Shang sighed bitterly.
Wang Lu nodded: "When he controlled Li Xi...... I didn't even see the slightest hint until I finally detected the red blood poison in the bowl. ”
"Me too." Ouyang Shang said, "The disguise is seamless, just like a real person, and even the tiniest details are imitated flawlessly, which can only show that he has completely mastered Li Xi's personality, as well as ...... Memory. ”
Wang Lu said: "Your golden generation is like brothers and sisters, and you have been honest and honest with each other for decades, and you have almost no secrets from each other, so ...... As long as he controls one person, it is equivalent to being able to catch everyone else. ”
Ouyang Shang smiled bitterly.
"Speaking of which, didn't the sect elders think about this issue when they first cultivated you? It's okay when your cultivation is still shallow, when you have achieved something in the future and each of you is in charge of the land of the Spirit Sword Sect...... As long as one person is used by someone to use the soul search technique, the entire sect will be finished, right? ”
Ouyang Shang didn't answer, but changed the topic: "I don't know the two junior brothers who returned to the mountain to report the news...... How's it going? ”
"At best, since that opponent has been pestering the Ghost Crying Forest for this time, it shouldn't be too late for other aspects to take care of it, so they have a good chance of successfully returning to the mountain gate. But ......"
Ouyang Shang said: "But it's hard to imagine that the opponent will expose such a big flaw, right...... It's a pity that now we can only take one step at a time. ”
"By the way, I just thought of something." Wang Lu said, shaking his head but not continuing, "I hope it won't be so bad." ”
Ouyang Shang glanced at him, with Wang Lu's temperament, but there was rarely anything that he didn't finish, which made him so jealous...... I'm afraid that thing is really not easy to talk about.
And that incident, as I can guess, is indeed ...... I hope it's not that bad.
――
In later generations, the Spirit Sword Sect once had a law of Wang Wu, which reads: As long as Wang Wu has the possibility of losing the discipline, no matter how small and incredible this possibility is...... She'll be sure to throw it to you.
In the same way, as long as things can go bad, no matter how reluctant you are, you have to face it.
What Wang Lu and Ouyang Shang were worried about appeared a day later.
"Humph!!"
Wang Wu's muffled snort broke the silence of the procession.
The group was flying quietly over a large river, in which the demons danced, a well-known dangerous place nearby, but also a shortcut to return to Fuquan.
A few days ago, Ouyang Shang, Wang Lu, and Wang Wu crossed this big river and quickly rushed to the Ghost Crying Forest from a shortcut. As long as the river is more than 100 feet away from the surface of the river and is quiet, it will not disturb the powerful spirits at the bottom of the river.
And this time, the group was explained in every way before crossing the river, and they were also cautious in the process of crossing the river.
Ouyang Shang, who was at the head of the team, immediately turned around, but saw that Wang Lu had already come to Wang Wu's side one step ahead of him, the Kunshan Sword in his right hand held up the Wuxiang Sword Fence to protect her firmly, and the chaotic sword qi in his left hand lingered around his fingertips.
With Wang Lu's temperament, there should not have been a step to prepare for a move, once the enemy attack was confirmed, the sword qi would explode mercilessly, but at this time he had to endure it.
Because the person who attacked Wang Wu was actually Liu Xian!
This was something that even Wang Lu didn't expect, he had doubted everyone in the team, but he really didn't put too much thought into Liu Xian. Because he was a survivor back then, and he was also the elder of the Spirit Sword Sect on the real history line, his strength was unfathomable...... Although it was Liu Xian who was one hundred and fifty years old, Wang Lu couldn't help but have a preconceived idea in his heart.
God knows how the opponent seized this flaw, controlled Liu Xian, and struck a sharp sword at Wang Wu, if it weren't for Wang Lu, Wang Wu would have been listed as a key guard after all...... This sword can make it disappear.
“…… For example, today's ten people in the Sword Hall are all unworthy of cultivation in the golden generation of that year? Uncle Shi, you are too modest, with your sword, even if you are not the top of the golden generation, the middle and upper level is certain. ”
Wang Lu looked at Liu Xian in front of him with some complexity, I really didn't expect it to be you...... If you want to blame it, blame it on the damn history line!
Thinking of this, Wang Lu's chaotic sword qi didn't hesitate anymore, and he was about to break out of his body. But at this moment, Liu Xian suddenly looked stunned, and his face was dazed.
"I ...... What's wrong with me? ”
Wang Lu's sword aura suddenly froze: "Liu Xian? ”
Liu Xian shook his head vigorously: "Just now...... It seems to be in a trance, what happened? ”
Then he saw Wang Lu's Wuxiang Sword Fence, and beside Wang Lu, Wang Wu was silently blasting the wound on his arm.
Although Liu Xian is not amazing, he is not stupid, and he immediately realized what had happened.
“…… Yes, did I do it? I was snatched away by the enemy just now, and I shot at Senior Sister Wang Wu? ”
The people around all gathered around and looked at Liu Xian with complicated eyes. There is doubt, there is sympathy...... And so on.
Wang Lu sighed in his heart: The opponent really thought of this trick: take away, and then let it go, leaving a mess to see how they solve it.
In the face of a brother with a criminal record, the trust relationship of the golden generation...... Can it still be sustained?
Can everyone still trust Liu Xian unreservedly? Who can guarantee that his current innocent gesture is not a disguise? After all, after the opponent takes over, he can perfectly reproduce the original owner's every move.
And if the killer is killed, Liu Xian will be killed and executed without hesitation, and everyone present will ...... Can you really face those eyes that are still blank and innocent? Dreaming back at midnight, aren't you worried about the demons in your heart?
This is simply the most brilliant mind-attacking technique......
Wang Lu ...... Brother. Liu Xian's voice trembled slightly, "I'm sorry......"
Then, he raised the sword in his hand, the blade still stained with the blood on Wang Wu's arm, but at this time it was aimed at his own throat.
Obviously, Liu Xian has also figured out this problem, and he has now become a burden and burden in the team, so he has also taken out the courage he should have as a golden generation and is ready to kill himself.
But the next moment, Wang Lu made a move, and the Chaos Heaven-Breaking Sword Qi burst out from his fingertips.
