The stealth spell could only make Gu Hengzhou unable to see Shen Bai and Dongfang Ying, but he could still hear it.

Shen Bai pursed his lips and did not speak, taking as little breath as he could.

However, even if Gu Hengzhou was controlled by evil spirits and turned into a marionette, his sharpness was not comparable to ordinary people.

He stood in place with his sword in his hand for a while, and suddenly stabbed his backhand in the direction of Shen Bai and Dongfang Ying.

Shen Bai's body couldn't move at all, and Dongfang Ying didn't expect Gu Hengzhou's reaction to be so fast, and he subconsciously took two steps back with Shen Bai on his back, but he didn't have time to use the spell to resist the attack.

The sword light was cold, sharp and unstoppable, and seeing that the two of them were about to be pierced, the bell on Shen Bai's wrist made a crisp sound.

After the light sound, the light of the night pearl embedded in the top of the underground palace became even brighter, and a dark green light shield appeared in front of the two of them, withstanding Gu Hengzhou's attack.

Dongfang Ying held Shen Bai steadily, and asked suspiciously, "What is this?" ”

After missing the blow, Gu Hengzhou did not give up, and kept swinging his sword to slash at the light mask, but this light mask was solid, and it was still drawing energy from the night pearl above his head.

Sure that the light mask would not break for a while, Dongfang Ying relaxed a little, put Shen Bai down, and said with a solemn expression: "This evil spirit has swallowed all the resentful spirits hovering over Hengyang City, and now its strength has skyrocketed, even if all the incense makers of the Dongfang family are concentrated here, I am afraid that there is no way to take it." ”

This evil has been flexible for more than two hundred years, and the souls absorbed in these two hundred years should be countless, and their strength was originally far above them, but now their strength has increased greatly, no matter how you look at them, it is impossible for them to win.

Shen Bai was a little gasped, trying not to go to see Gu Hengzhou, and asked Dongfang Ying: "What can I do now?" ”

Dongfang Ying said: "There is no such record on the genealogy of the Dongfang family, and in my memory, there is no incense-making technique that can subdue a soul with such a powerful soul power, you are the person chosen by the head of the family and the ancestor, you should ask yourself this question." ”

Shen Bai was at a loss, she had indeed seen the ancestor of the incense making technique and Dongfang Ling, but they didn't say much to her, and Shen Bai couldn't extract any useful information from it at this time.

Seeing Shen Bai's expression, a trace of anger flashed in Dongfang Ying's eyes, but he quickly calmed down, grabbed Shen Bai's arm and said, "I don't know how long this mask can last, and I don't know what will happen after the mask breaks, but don't worry, even if the mask is broken, I will still stand in front of you, and if you want to die, I will die first!" ”

This is the mission of the Oriental family incense maker, for more than 200 years, the descendants of the Oriental family have suffered a curse, whether they have done evil things or not, each of them is fateful, most of them die unexpectedly.

The incense makers of the Oriental family have long since disappeared from the world, and the reason why they are still studying incense making is just to one day be able to peek into the secrets of incense making and lift the curse of the Oriental family.

Now this opportunity is in front of them, pinned on this person named Shen Bai, and they are desperate to protect her.

This situation is the same as when Shen Bai sent grain and grass to the border in the previous life, she fought with those old horsemen in the court all the year round, and had no intersection with those soldiers in the camp at all, but when she took on the heavy responsibility of transporting grain and grass, these people would desperately protect her.

Although since he saw Dongfang Ling, Shen Bai knew that he was going to take a road that could not be turned back, and when he heard Dongfang Ying say this, his heart still sank.

In this world, there are always people who can sacrifice their lives for one reason or another, like moths to a fire, to protect what they want to protect.

The incense makers of the Oriental family want to protect their own people.

And Shen Bai just wanted to protect Gu Hengzhou.

There was no time to talk nonsense, Shen Bai closed his eyes, tried to block out the sounds of the outside world, and concentrated on seeking perception.

I don't know how long it took, the sounds around her were far away, the crisp sound of bells came from the distant void, Shen Bai opened her eyes, the underground palace disappeared, and Dongfang Ying was not by her side, and it was empty and black in her eyes.

The sound of the bell came from the front, and Shen Bai did not hesitate and took a step forward.

After taking a step, Shen Bai realized that he was not wearing shoes, and stepped on the cold soft object with his bare feet, and lowered his head, and the soft and crystal blue water waves rippled around.

The water waves drove away the darkness and lit up the void, and Shen Bai found herself standing on the boundless water, and it was not accurate to say that it was water, because she was standing on it steadily, and she did not fall at all.

The sound of the bell changed from the void to coming from Shen Bai's wrist.

Shen Bai was about to look down when a string of faint green points of light flew in, condensing into a human shape two or three steps away from her.

It's a cold day.

However, he was wearing the dark dragon robe of the monarch of Dongheng Kingdom two hundred years ago, and there was an indissoluble vicissitudes of sorrow between his eyebrows and eyes.

"You're here."

Mu Duo said, his eyes fell on the soul-attracting bell in Shen Bai's hand, and he was undisguised with grief.

Shen Bai took a step towards him and asked, "Are you waiting for Dongfang Ling?" ”

Mu Duo nodded, his eyes were sad, but his expression was quite calm, he should have expected such a result.

"Haven't you already seen her?" Shen Bai asked suspiciously, if she remembered correctly, in Nanxiang's spiritual dream, Dongfang Ling said that she was awakened by Hanchen.

Mu Duo sighed and said, "That reimu was led by your soul, and it was you who should disappear when the reidream ended. ”

Only Dongfang Ling has the power of Reimeng, but Dongfang Ling has been dead for two hundred years, and if you want to make Reimu reappear, you can only use Shen Bai, who was born in Reimeng.

Shen Bai didn't expect that he had already brushed shoulders with death in Nanxiang that time.

At that time, she was the one who should have disappeared, and she was safe, that is, Dongfang Ling saved her.

Mu Duo looked at Shen Bai and said faintly, "She really doesn't want to see me again." ”

Shen Bai had just seen Mu Duo's cold-blooded and ruthless appearance when he was crazy, and couldn't help but speak for Dongfang Ling: "At the beginning, you were so ruthless, you tortured her to death, and killed your child in front of her, she died with great grief and despair, and it is normal not to want to see you." ”

If Mu Duo is willing to take the time to understand Dongfang Ling a little more, even if he sees that the person who sleeps with him has changed his soul, after getting along day and night, he should know who Dongfang Ling is, and he will not use such brutal means to her.

However, these grievances have been entangled for more than two hundred years, and Shen Bai, as a bystander, can only glimpse fragments of them, and he is not very qualified to say anything.

She brought the topic back to the point and asked Mu Duo, "Are these spells left by you, and what do you want me to do when you asked me to come here?" ”

Mu Duo didn't answer and asked, "You want to lift the curse of the sad and joyful side?" ”

"Yes."

Shen Bai nodded, and couldn't help but have a trace of anticipation in his heart, when Dongfang Ling cast a spell on Mu Duo, Mu Duo was not dead, and he also saw with his own eyes how she cast the spell, maybe he would know the solution.

However, as soon as this thought came to mind, Mu Duo poured a basin of cold water on Shen Bai's head and said, "There is no solution to the sad and joyful faces. ”

"How is that possible!"

Shen Bai refused to believe it, Mu Duo looked at her calmly and said, "If the sadness and joy can be solved, why do you think I should endure two hundred years of darkness and loneliness in this world?" ”

Shen Bai was speechless, and after a while, he thought of Gu Hengzhou, and said: "Then why can you transfer the sad and happy side to Brother Gu, you can transfer the sad and happy side to him, and you must also transfer it to me, I am willing to ...... for him"

"You're willing to kill him?"

Mu Duo interrupted Shen Bai, Shen Bai opened his mouth and looked at him in disbelief, Mu Duo said calmly: "The sad and happy side can indeed be transferred, but you must find someone who is willing to inherit the sad and happy side before you die, and the original host can be liberated, in the past two hundred years, he is the only one who is willing and able to withstand the curse of the sad and happy side." ”

The only way to get Brother Gu out of the curse of Joy and Sorrow is to kill him.

Shen Bai felt that this was the most ridiculous thing he had heard.

She wants to kill Brother Gu, otherwise Brother Gu will always bear the curse of joy and sorrow, and he will always live in purgatory.

"I don't believe there must be another way." Shen Bai yelled, looking at Mu Duo expectantly, hoping that he could say the answer he wanted, Mu Duo's expression did not change at all, and he said word by word: "No." ”

Shen Bai felt that her head hurt very much, as if she had been split by something, her thoughts were running rapidly, she grabbed the last glimmer of hope and said: "I am a dream spirit, I can also create a spiritual dream for myself, as long as Brother Gu does not wear a sad and joyful face in the dream, everything can be over." ”

"There are no reimons in the world, it's just self-deception." Mu Duo said quietly, like a monk who has cultivated in a certain temple, he can get rid of the suffering of the people of the world.

Shen Bai couldn't accept this result, glared at Mu Duo and said angrily, "Since it's useless, what are you asking me to do here?" Isn't that your fault? Why should Brother Gu and I bear the consequences? ”

"There is a cycle of cause and effect in the world, and since you were born in a reimu, everything should naturally end up with you."

Mu Duo said softly, and there was not the slightest change in mood because of Shen Bai's anger.

Shen Bai had already expected what was going to happen, so he walked up to Mu Duo, grabbed him by the collar and asked, "Now that evil spirit has swallowed Brother Gu and Shen Qi, it is simply an unstoppable monster, how do you want me to kill it?" ”

"You are the only one in the world who can kill it." Mu Duo said calmly, his blue eyes reflected Shen Bai's frightened face, and then Shen Bai heard him say, "You just need a knife." ”

With just a knife, she could destroy that evil spirit.

How easy it is to say this, it seems that Shen Bai only needs to find a knife to cut a radish in half.

Shen Bai stared at Mu Duo directly, and said, "It swallowed Brother Gu and Shen Qi, it can become Brother Gu and Shen Qi, you want me to attack them?" ”

Although it was a question, Shen Bai already had an answer in his heart.

"You should know that everything has a fate."

Yes, everything has a fate.

If Brother Gu wants everything to start over, she has to put on a sad and joyful face, and if she wants Brother Gu to be free, she has to kill Brother Gu with her own hands.

The same is true of the origin and the extinction.

Shen Bai understands the truth, but she is not sure that she can really make a move, she can be ruthless.

After being silent for a while, Shen Bai asked Mu Duo, "If the evil spirit is destroyed, what will happen to Brother Gu and Shen Qi?" ”

Mu Duo said in a deep voice: "I can't deduce the future anymore, everything depends on how providence arranges. ”

It's just not knowing.

Shen Bai's heart was cold, but after going through so much along the way, she quickly calmed down again.

Speaking of which, she is just a thing born from someone else's big dream, since the evil spirit is born with her, maybe she will die together, she kills Brother Gu is killing the evil spirit, how can it be impossible to kill the evil spirit herself?

Thinking about everything, Shen Bai stretched out his hand towards Mu Duo and said, "Give me the knife." ”

Mu Duo didn't speak again, his body dissipated, turning into countless faint green points of light, and finally condensed into a dagger and appeared in Shen Bai's palm.

The void and the water disappeared, and when she opened her eyes, Shen Bai was still lying on the ground, and Dongfang Ying was sitting cross-legged in front of her, constantly casting spells to consolidate the light mask.

Shen Bai moved her fingers and found that most of the injuries on her body had recovered, and the dagger was still in her hand.

Gu Hengzhou stood outside the light shield and kept swinging his sword, and countless souls were constantly crashing towards the light mask.

Shen Bai clenched the dagger in his hand and stood up, and said to Dongfang Ying: "Protect yourself, don't come out!" ”

When the words fell, Shen Bai held the dagger and rushed out of the light mask to attack Gu Hengzhou.

When she was in Tai Academy, Gu Hengzhou's martial arts cultivation was the best, and Shen Bai had always been ranked in the middle and lower reaches, her strength was insufficient, and she didn't like to practice basic skills hard, so her martial arts cultivation was naturally just a fake trick with bells and whistles.

However, after Gu Hengzhou went to guard the border in the previous life, when Shen Bai thought about him, he would secretly practice the basic skills, and she would keep in mind what Gu Hengzhou taught her every time he came back.

So strictly speaking, Shen Bai's fist and foot kung fu was not learned in Tai Academy, but from Gu Hengzhou.

In terms of weapons, the long sword used by Gu Hengzhou, and the dagger used by Shen Bai, it was difficult for Shen Bai to get close to Gu Hengzhou's body, and it was obviously inferior.

However, she had the determination to die, and she had a lonely blessing, and she didn't care if she would be injured, and finally approached Gu Hengzhou with a dagger at the cost of her left arm being cut off.

The moment his arm was cut off, hot blood immediately splattered out, staining the sword in Gu Hengzhou's hand red, and Shen Bai's eyes were also red.

Shengsheng was cut off an arm, and it hurts really well.

But she gritted her teeth and didn't scream, she raised the dagger and was about to stab Gu Hengzhou's heart, but a soft voice came from behind her: "Mother!" ”

The soul-attracting bell rang, Shen Bai turned around, and waved the dagger with his backhand without hesitation, Shen Qi flew behind her with fangs, and was sealed by her throat.

This knife was indeed different from ordinary weapons, after cutting through Shen Qi's flesh and skin, his entire soul dissipated like black smoke in front of his eyes.

Gremlin......

Shen Bai shouted in his heart, his chest was cold, he lowered his head, the scarlet sword body pierced out of his chest, and the warm and viscous blood was dripping down the tip of the sword little by little.

It's Brother Gu.

The sword used by Gu Hengzhou was also different from ordinary swords, after the sword pierced through the body, countless tentacles immediately extended from the sword body, quickly spreading to the limbs and eight remains, wanting to suck Shen Bai's flesh and blood clean.

The pain came suddenly and violently.

Shen Bai couldn't stand steadily, she felt that she might be sucked into an ugly and terrifying corpse in the next moment.

It was much more painful and terrible than dying under a blazing horse.

She has lived for two lifetimes, and at this time she actually has no special regrets or unwillingness.

It's just that she still wants to take another look at Gu Hengzhou's face.

"Gu ...... Brother ......"

She opened her mouth with difficulty, and Gu Hengzhou suddenly pulled out her sword.

The tentacles that were sucking flesh and blood were also pulled out, and a fist-sized blood hole appeared in Shen Bai's chest, and his heart had been completely eaten.

The soul-attracting bell on her wrist kept ringing, as if she was trying to help her regain her vitality, and it was like crying because she couldn't do anything.

Shen Bai couldn't think of anything, she turned around with the last bit of strength, the dagger in her hand fell, and she knelt on the ground softly.

For some reason, Gu Hengzhou knelt down in front of her with a sword.

The vision was blurry, the fog was full of blood, Shen Bai couldn't see Gu Hengzhou's face clearly, he only felt that this scene was very similar to when she and Gu Hengzhou worshiped heaven and earth that night.

She is actually not greedy, she just wants Brother Gu to know that she really likes him so much, and she just wants Brother Gu to be good and not to experience those pains.

I just want to think that Mrs. Gu, who is Brother Gu, will take care of his family and raise children for him, and stay with each other until her face is full of wrinkles and her hair is gray.

Brother Gu, I don't want to give up the position of county lord, I don't want to give up the wedding of the prosperous world, I don't even want Gu Hengzhou, can you stop hiding from me.

The sad and comic side is indeed ugly and scary, but you are not ugly at all when you wear it, and it still makes my heart so excited.

It's too lonely to be immortal, Brother Gu, don't always bear these alone.

If I wasn't with you in the end, Brother Gu, then there would be no point in me being reborn, and all I liked from beginning to end was Brother Gu.

As long as it's Brother Gu, I'm willing to die right away.

If it weren't for Brother Gu, even if everything went well, it would just be an ethereal dream.

Brother Gu, you should understand my mind by now, right?

On the eighth day of the first month of the twenty-second year of Hengqi, the twenty-eighth emperor of Zhaoling, Emperor Hengde, died, and the crown prince Zhao Che succeeded to the throne, changing the name of the year to Zhaoming, called Emperor Yongzhao.

On the same day and night, Donghengguo suddenly moved, several palaces in Dongheng Palace collapsed, the imperial garden pool collapsed, and now the underground palace was in front of it, and Donghengguo shook up and down.

On the same day and night, the first heavy snow fell in the first hundred years of the founding of the People's Republic of China in Nanxiang, the snowflakes flew, thousands of flowers bloomed, the fragrance was overflowing, and everyone in Kyushu was amazed.

On the same night, in the Guogong Mansion of Zhaoling Town, the prince Gu Hengzhou suddenly fell to the ground unconscious, and the doctors of the entire Tai Hospital could not diagnose the cause of the disease without sleep, and three days later issued an announcement to the people to reward the miracle doctor.

Gu Hengzhou woke up after being in a coma for nine days, which was no different from the ordinary, and it was a bizarre event in the history of Zhaoling Kingdom.

Another gossip said that Shen Bai, the daughter of Taifu, was robbed by gangsters, and Taifu sent people to search for it in many ways to no avail, and her life and death were uncertain.

A few months later, Nanxiang established a mysterious organization, Zhaoling Pavilion, to recruit strange people from all walks of life to serve the imperial court and capture ghosts and evil spirits.
