18. Brother
In the dizziness caused by the coma, in the half-true and half-empty senses, Dongfang Ce felt that he was being framed.
Descending into a place where there is no sunlight, it seems to be a dungeon.
But there is no foul smell, and there is some psychedelic light.
Here, is it a place of asceticism?
In the next moment, Lu Lianshan's smiling face jumped into Dongfang Ce's mind again, making the Seven Swordsmen in a daze, and they also hated itchy.
The man was crazy.
Lu Lianshan looked normal, but he must have gone crazy.
Any normal person, after the death of a loved one, will feel pain, dazed, helpless, remorse, these emotions are normal, the death of a loved one, can be sad.
It's human nature.
But no normal person would want to resurrect a dead loved one by means of evil law!
In particular, you have to cooperate with thieves like Penglai.
Of all the people they worked with, which one ended well?
Dongfang Ce thought so.
He didn't know when Lu Lianshan and Penglai got on the line.
He didn't know that at this time, in the sea off Ningbo, on the Zhoushan Islands, there were Penglai lackeys, gathering on a large scale.
But he knew that Penglai had worked so hard to win over Lu Lianshan, which proved that in their evil plan, Lu Lianshan and Lu Guizang were definitely very, very important chess pieces.
It's a coincidence.
Crashed through this ongoing, it is likely that it has been carried out to the final sneaky strategy, but he doesn't know if he has the ability to break all this, return himself and Lu to hide, and rescue this ghostly desperate situation.
"Bang"
Dongfang Ce, who was dazed and sour all over, was set up and placed on a chair.
His wrists and ankles were pressed against the armrests of his chair by the cold mechanism, and his spirit was still a little chaotic, and his surroundings were darker.
He wanted to resist, he could tear the fingers of pig iron, but it would be soft, and he couldn't lift any strength at all.
The next moment.
Two fingers rested on Dongfang Ce's neck, and a strange aura poured into his body, Dongfang Ce seemed to hear the sound of wind and thunder, and it exploded in the sea of consciousness that he had just cultivated.
Let him wake up in the next moment.
"Bang"
The chair shook slightly, but it was not overturned, or fell, and the chair was fixed to the ground.
"Let go!"
Dongfang Ce looked at the people around him and said in a dumb voice:
"You're playing with fire! Today's events, if they are known by others, they will return to the Tibetan Villa, and there is no possibility of survival. ”
"If they don't know, don't they?"
Lu Lianshan's tone was very indifferent, as if he had changed someone.
He stretched out his hand and put his hand on Dongfang Ce's shoulder, his fingers touched the clothes, as if he had been electrified, and there were obvious small arcs of electricity in the dark, wrapping around Dongfang Ce's body and walking around, making his hair stand on end.
It's like static electricity emerging.
This kind of supernatural is not like a martial artist's method at all.
"Lu Wenfu's predecessors have already died in battle, he died like a real martial arts hero, and he died in the hands of his confidant, and he has no regrets in his heart, why are you so stubborn?"
Dongfang Ce changed his tone and persuaded:
"You cooperate with Penglai, even if you really resurrect Lu Wenfu's predecessors, what can you do? He must not have wanted to. ”
"Standing and talking doesn't hurt your back!"
Lu Lianshan glanced at Dongfang Ce.
Say:
"Dongfang, if your biological father died tragically in front of your eyes, if you saw that scene with your own eyes, you will know that you will be separated from your blood relatives forever.
Can you still say that?
I really don't care, what kind of martial arts alliance leader, the leader of the world and the like.
I don't like martial arts since I was a child, and my mother died after giving birth to Jade Niang, and I grew up as a child, and there were only three relatives around me.
But when I was sixteen years old, I watched as one of them was taken away. ”
His tone was a little lower.
"I'm a useless person, Dongfang, since I was a child, my father said that I have no ambitions, and my personality is also very weak, not as amazing and brilliant as when I was a child.
If it weren't for my surname Lu, if it weren't for the fact that I was Lu Wenfu's son, no one would want to make friends with me, but even if I am so weak and incompetent, I have something I want to protect. ”
The fingers on Dongfang Ce's shoulders tightened little by little.
Lu Lianshan, who kept saying that he was an incompetent person, burst out of his fingers with the force that made the Seven Swordsmen feel that their bones were about to be pinched off.
This is not normal.
"I just want to protect my family."
Lu Lianshan's voice became more and more lonely.
He said:
"I just want all my family members to stay by my side, I just want my father to see me get married and have children, I can see the beautiful marriage of Yu Niang, and I can see that there is no knot in my heart and I can live happily for the rest of my life.
I just want to make up for what my father should have seen but didn't, and I just want to bring him back.
Is there something wrong with this hope? ”
This question is not just for Dongfang Ce.
In the next moment, Lu Lianshan stretched out his hand and flicked it.
In the sound of wind and thunder, the lights around this dark place lit up in unison.
Let Dongfang Ce see clearly, seven zhang in front of him, at the end of this underground, Lu Guizang, who was wearing a cloak, was tied to the stone wall by four delicate chains.
He was as if he was dead, silent, but the chest that was still undulating, the faint breathing sound, represented that Lu Guizang was still alive.
There is also consciousness, and I can still hear what my eldest brother just said.
That question is also asking Lu Guizang.
"Second brother."
A few steps forward from Lu Lianshan, he looked at Lu Guizang, who was tied to the stone wall and did not say a word, and said softly:
"I knew you wanted to see the East, so I brought him here, and your heart rejoiced to see the one you loved?"
"Get out!"
The words that squeezed out of the teeth echoed in the stone path.
The tone is hoarse.
The words are full of pain, confusion, and despair.
But Dongfang Ce's eyes became sad at this time, and Lu Guizang's voice had a strange echo, as if he was a young man and an old man talking at the same time.
There are signs that the two voices are blending.
Dongfang Ce had experienced the Taihang Mountain incident, and he knew very well what kind of torture Lu Guizang was suffering at this time.
He is being taken away.
A ghost long dead, trying to be reincarnated in his body and mind.
"You can't do that!"
Dongfang Ce struggled violently in his chair.
He shouted:
"Lu Lianshan, you can't do this! Even if Lu Wenfu is really resurrected in Guizang, you will lose your brother! Didn't you say that?
You don't mean that the only thing you want in this life is to protect your loved ones! Your brother, isn't it your relative?
In order to save your father, are you willing to let your own brother die? ”
"I know."
Lu Lianshan stood between the two, wearing a businessman's rich shirt, clasping his hands together, as if he felt the chill of Sensen, and his body was trembling slightly.
He looked at Lu Guizang.
Say:
"How could I do such a stupid thing? I have lost a loved one, how can I exchange the life of another relative?
Rest assured, Orient.
All of this was already planned, and it was seventeen years ago that the Penglai immortals helped me collect my father's soul on the coast of the East China Sea.
That's when they found me.
But I haven't been able to make up my mind.
It wasn't until Ren Hao died, and when I learned of the death, I knew that things were bad. ”
He stretched out his hand and tried to touch Lu Guizang's cheek, but the latter bit him on his finger.
Lu Guizang, who was indifferent and arrogant like an iceberg in the past, had confused eyes at this time, like a beast, biting Lu Lianshan's finger and wanting to bite off the finger bone.
Blood dripped from the corner of his mouth, but there was no pain on Lu Lianshan's face.
Instead, he was tolerant of a big brother.
looked at his younger brother gently, and his eyes were full of doting.
He said:
"When Ren Hao died, I knew that if I didn't think of a way, my family would not be able to complete my state of mind in this life.
People's hearts, once you put something heavy, it will be crushed little by little, I don't want to see a depressed lifelong brother, so I can only make this decision.
But when my father's soul was collected, it was lost because of the coldness of the heavens and the earth, and if it was not completed, it could not be awakened. ”
The fingers of the head of the Lu family had turned pale.
It was as if all the blood droplets had flowed clean from the wound that Lu Guizang had bitten.
His face turned pale, but he still didn't choose to pull out his fingers, which would hurt his brother in front of him.
This scene made Dongfang Ce feel creepy.
He didn't doubt Lu Lianshan's love for Lu Guizang, that person really loved his family, but that kind of love and desire had turned into a state of mind like a demonic barrier in the past seventeen years.
He's enchanted.
"Guizang, you listen to my brother."
Lu Lianshan stretched out his hand and stroked his brother's loose hair.
He said:
"Our father's soul is in your soul, nourished by your soul, divide some of it, give it to your father, replenish your soul, and my father will be able to wake up.
I should have come here for this job, but unfortunately, my life is worse than my father's, but you are very consistent, so that even if you lack some soul, you will not regret it for life. ”
"Penglai is lying to you!"
Dongfang Ce gritted his teeth and said:
"I've seen it with my own eyes, and you may really be able to wake up Lu Wenfu's predecessors.
But the price is that Guizang's martial arts are lost, and all his bones are wasted, and he can only be a waste person in the second half of his life!
You are in the same stream as Penglai, the righteous way of the rivers and lakes will not let you go, and if you don't return to Tibet, how can you resist the attack? ”
"Isn't that better?"
Lu Lianshan turned around and said softly:
"I have lost my martial arts, I will never set foot in the damn rivers and lakes from now on, and I will spend this life with my family in peace, what about the waste?
I'd rather keep my brother for the rest of my life than see him go around the world with a sword and end up like my father!
Besides, isn't there still you?
East, will you abandon and go to Tibet? I know you don't want to be the head of that pure yang, I know what you think in your heart.
Compared with the prestige of the head, you want to live in seclusion in a corner of the world with Guizang, sit and watch the clouds rise and fall, and not be disturbed by outsiders.
Rest assured, Orient! ”
The other hand of the head of the Lu family patted his younger brother's neck, pulled out his miserable white finger, and as soon as he left Lu Guizang's teeth and bit it, the wound on his finger began to heal rapidly in the arc winding. 、
He said to Dongfang Ce:
"Not only will I bring back my father, but I will also save you from the sea of suffering, the Pure Yang Sect can no longer tie you down, I know, you are a person who knows how to be grateful.
You hate them too, but you can't do it, I'll end those heaviness for you! ”
Lu Wenfu opened his arms, hugged his struggling younger brother in his arms, and gently patted his back as if he were a child.
He comforted his brother as he did.
Say:
"I will protect you, and from now on, I will protect my family, and no one will be able to hurt you again, no one will be able to hurt you again."
While speaking, Dongfang Ce vaguely saw that behind Lu Lianshan's head, there was a Sensen grimace, which disappeared in a flash.
It was as if a second head had grown on his body.
That's not an illusion!
"Seventeen years ago, I sold myself to Penglai."
Lu Lianshan's voice echoed underground.
He said:
"In exchange for the strength to protect my family, I am willing to kneel to them, it is not a shame."
"I can kneel in front of the immortals, but I raise my head proudly, I am not their domesticated dog, I just made a choice, among dignity, regret, and relatives.
I chose you without hesitation.
There is no need to draw the sword in the future, return to Tibet, and don't fight again.
Just like when you were a child, your brother will protect you, and your brother will give you the best things in the world.
The day of our family reunion will not be too far away. ”
In this underground stone chamber.
Dongfang Ce watched the completely unilateral interaction between Lu Lianshan and Lu Guizang in a stunned attitude.
He had nothing to say, which can now be fully confirmed.
Lu Lianshan is already crazy.
Perhaps, when he was young, he was already crazy when he saw his father die at the hands of Ren Hao.
"Dongfang, persuade me to return to Tibet."
Lu Lianshan carried his hands behind his back and walked towards the outside world, his figure with a few arcs of electricity, blending into the night.
Only a deep voice came from the darkness.
He said:
"I'm going to go now, and help you break the bonds in your heart, and from now on, no one can interfere with you and Guizang's future. In the future, you will also be my Lu family.
Advise your lover for me, and my brother for me.
He listens to you, I know. ”
"Bang"
Behind him, the gate was closed, and something heavy fell, like a broken dragon stone slipping, shaking the earth.
In the darkness, the lights went out one by one.
Dongfang Ce was trapped in a chair, his body sore and weak.
He looked at Lu Guizang, who was breathing low in the darkness in front of him, and he seemed to be able to see those eyes, and the light in them was dimming little by little in the darkness disturbed by the low breathing.
"No !!"
