Xiao An did not receive any direct attacks, and An Xiaoyu did not get any feedback from the spirit imprint, and when she arrived at the scene, the whole riot had already settled. Outside the shattered courtyard of the Four-Life Alliance's shattered temporary station, a circle of reporters "clicked", and the local security and fire brigade were maintaining order.

An Xiaoyu showed her ID and drove straight in, and directly found Fusheng who was sitting on the side pranayama and Xiao An who was stunned next to her.

She categorically couldn't imagine that the conflict between martial arts cultivation and body cultivation could reach such a fierce level, and the Zhong family actually rushed directly to the Four Lives Alliance to prepare to arrest Fusheng and torture him for a trumped-up reason.

It's literally a retreat of civilization, and there's a real person behind it.

Could it be that the Zhong family is really so bold? An Xiaoyu felt that after the matter here was over, he really wanted to go back to the An family, one was for what Mi Huang said, asking about the things above the grandmaster, and the other was to ask about the Zhong family, these people are simply a group of mad dogs, no one cares about them?

However, Zhong Huaran told her before that the structure of the Zhong family is loose, and the subordinate relationship between the upper and lower levels is not so coherent. As long as someone is in charge of everything, the people above will never take care of it, but there are too many arrogant and domineering people in their family.

Up to now, at all levels of strength, An Xiaoyu has seen a lot of people who are doing things everywhere, and this does not include Zhong Huaran himself. Could it be that this is how the empire has allowed the Zhong family to get up to now?

She walked to Xiao An's side with a frown, put her hand on Xiao An's shoulder, and asked, "Are you okay?" ”

Xiao An raised his head, and when he saw that it was An Xiaoyu, he came back to his senses with a somewhat stunned look, nodded and said, "I'm not injured, Fusheng is injured, it's very serious." ”

An Xiaoyu turned his head and glanced at Fusheng, and directly swept his body with his feelings: "The dantian is damaged, and there is basically no other quick and effective way to recuperate for such an injury except for his own recuperation." But fortunately, the damage is still within the scope of repair, and there is no major problem. ”

Xiao An nodded, and when he heard that there was nothing big about Fusheng, he was relieved. However, turning his head and looking at the members of the Four Lives Alliance who were either carried away on a stretcher or receiving temporary wound treatment on the other side, as well as the corpse of the Zhong family on the other side, An Xiaoan's mood was gloomy.

An Xiaoyu knew that sooner or later his younger brother would face such a situation and a large number of corpses, even in times of peace, let alone in this new millennium of change? So she didn't say anything, just pinched Xiao An's shoulder.

After a long while, Fusheng opened his eyes, and the paleness on his face was still there, but his breath had regained his calmness, and the energy in his body began to work slowly. Seeing An Xiaoyu standing next to him, Fusheng smiled bitterly: "I missed it." ”

An Xiaoyu shook her head: "It's the world that's crazy." ”

So both men fell silent.

Xiao An suddenly asked, "What will happen to this matter after that?" ”

Fusheng looked at the tragic situation in front of him and said: "A total of sixteen people died in the Four Lives Alliance, four of them were in the Spirit Sacrifice Realm, and the rest of the injured have not yet been counted. There is no doubt that at this point we have lost the ability to fight, and the next step is to evacuate, and there is no other way. ”

An Xiaoyu looked at the floating appearance, seemed to think of something, and asked, "What about the water dragon?" ”

Fusheng shook his head and said: "The water dragon is not directly responsible for me, although there are also many of them, but in order to avoid people's eyes, I have already notified them to evacuate in advance, and they will definitely not return, otherwise those who have a heart can find their roots and find the door, and the gains outweigh the losses." ”

"Actually, I've wanted to ask you for a long time, is the water dragon really a phantom created by the formation?"

"Huh?" Fusheng looked at An Xiaoyu's serious face: "Why does Shaozong ask knowingly? ”

But An Xiaoyu shook his head and said, "You don't understand what I mean, I mean, even if the water dragon is created by the formation, is it a phantom controlled by people, or does it really have a trace of spirituality and act on its own?" ”

Fusheng's eyes met An Xiaoyu: "Why did Shaozong say this? ”

"From the first time I saw this water dragon, I had a feeling that this water dragon was a real living being, not a puppet, and I believed in my citrus without mistakes. And when you're fighting the water dragon, it doesn't look like both sides are acting, but rather like a one-sided sacrifice. ”

Listening to An Xiaoyu's words, Fusheng lowered his head, and after thinking about it, he suddenly smiled and said, "The organization is confidential, and there is nothing to comment." ”

An Xiaoyu nodded: "I understand." ”

After speaking, An Xiaoyu took An Xiao'an to leave the temporary residence of the Four Lives Alliance, and Fusheng raised his head and looked at An Xiaoyu, he knew that he still left a little bit of mustard in An Xiaoyu's heart after all. But what can he do?

Slaying dragons is a nice thing to say, but who can know how much helplessness there is behind it?

Just like An Xiaoyu said, the water dragon on Toad Mountain is not simply a puppet. Indeed, the power of the water dragon comes from the complementarity of the power of the dozens of body cultivation laws that control the water dragon underneath, but the water dragon itself is not as simple as an illusion.

The water dragon is intelligent, even if it is only a little bit, when the water dragon dissipates in the end, that pair of helpless eyes still remain in the bottom of the floating heart, and can never be forgotten.

Walking out of the deep mountains, Fusheng realized that things in this world were far from being as simple as he thought. He was educated, had a great deal of knowledge, and even understood the human heart. But the world is not made of these things.

Sighing slightly, Fusheng raised his head to look at the moon in the sky, and the moon was surrounded by layers of mist, as if it was blocked by a layer of frosted glass.

"The snow is coming......"

An Xiaoyu took Xiao An back to the hotel, didn't say anything, there are some things that Xiao An needs to think about by himself, not to mention that An Xiaoyu also noticed Zhong Huaran's breath at the scene. After thinking about it for a while, An Xiaoyu figured out what was going on.

Xiao An took out a box from his arms, the box had been crushed, but the contents were still intact. It contained the purple silk scarf that little Anto had gotten around, which was said to be made of silk produced when the larvae of a special butterfly in the far north turned into cocoons.

This butterfly is very small in number and lives in the cold weather of the far north, which is the exact opposite of the habit of other butterflies that can only live in warm illusions. To find them, you have to go deep into the heart of the far north, spend a few years in the mountains, and if you're lucky, you can even come across a nest.

Or you can encounter a litter, but the probability of encountering a larvae that is about to turn into a butterfly is even lower to the point of being terrifying. To make such a silk scarf, it would take twenty larval cocoons to get enough silk.

Moreover, the silk scarf made of the silk of this butterfly is strong and durable, although it may not have a self-defense effect, but it cannot be damaged at all. After being dyed and colored, it will not change for a long time, and it also has a natural icy sweet smell.

In the imperial capital, such a silk scarf is simply priceless.

But now, Xiao An is holding this somewhat cold silk scarf in his hand, and he really doesn't know what to do with it. He couldn't even think of how he should face Zhong Huaran next time, and he would ignore this person when he saw him.

Thinking of what he had just said to her, thinking that Zhong Huaran resolutely used that terrifying secret method, and even at the cost of being hit hard, he had to catch the desperation of the floating life, Xiao An gritted his teeth fiercely, stuffed the silk scarf back into the box, and threw it into the depths of a travel bag.

An Xiaoyu returned to her room, didn't care how Xiao An struggled, but took out the terminal and called Xu Heru directly.

"What's going on tonight?"

Xu Heru was silent for a while, and said: "Everyone in the Ministry of Supervision is holding an impromptu meeting today, and a special commissioner was sent from above to give us spiritual instructions from the Central Committee. ”

An Xiaoyu was stunned for a moment, and hung up the phone silently, really not knowing what to say.

Obviously, this time the action is not only the Zhong family, but obviously all fields and all strata are preparing to take action against Fusheng. There is no other reason, it's just that the things that the Four Lives Alliance will come up with are too shocking and too coveted.

The formation of complementary laws, the new way of self-cultivation, the complete inheritance of self-cultivation, and the secret method of making water dragons, if you take out one at random, it will make everyone secretly tempted, not to mention that these things are all in the hands of a floating person now?

So this is the empire.

An Xiaoyu couldn't help but be a little silent, she knew from the beginning that she had relied on the support of many people to get to where she was now. And now, she is still like the little girl who just came to the Shahai base, powerless to fight back against the darkness of this world.

But so what? An Xiaoyu looked at Mao Yue outside the window, her eyes became more and more determined, she is only a Shaozong now, and when she really touches the threshold of a real person, what will all this darkness be when then? Even if there is a human being, or is there any supreme man, a man of God? Then I'll just keep catching up, won't I?

For the first time, An Xiaoyu began to have such a longing idea for changing the world and saving the future of mankind. Although she didn't know how she could change millions of years if she could change these people, she was just like when she named her organization Trajectory.

The events of this night have changed so many people.

Fusheng has changed, Xiao An has changed, and An Xiaoyu has also changed. has also changed, as well as Zhonghuaran.

Returning to the temporary stationing point of the Zhong family, Zhong Huaran returned to her temporary residence in the base with a curse in her mouth, because there were too many masters in China and Canada, she had already changed from the top person in charge here to a low-level member, and naturally lived in a dilapidated corner.

But pushing open the door of this dilapidated house, Zhong Huaran actually saw an unexpected person appear in the room.

Seeing the figure standing in the center of the room, Zhong Huaran was stunned for a moment, then broke out in a cold sweat, knelt down on one knee respectfully, and said in a low voice: "Real person! ”

Zhong Zhenren turned around and looked down at Zhong Huaran, who lowered her head, and the two gazes fell on the top of her head like substance, so that even if Zhong Huaran didn't look up, she also felt a burst of spiritual coercion that pressed her more and more humble.

After looking at it for a moment, Zhong Zhen spoke: "Do you remember what I said before?" ”

Zhonghua said in her heart, so she had to bite the bullet and say: "My subordinates remember, but I ......"

"No but!" Zhong Zhenren interrupted: "There is not only one real person in the Four Lives Alliance, this has been expected for a long time, the time of the mission is already limited, you wasted time, causing the entire mission to fail, and everyone has done useless work for you, what else can you quibble?" ”

Zhong Zhenren's tone didn't seem to be questioning, just expounding the facts, as if this matter had nothing to do with him, but Zhong Huaran listened to these words in his ears, but his heart turned upside down. It seems that this time the punishment cannot be avoided, but I don't know what kind of ...... will be received

Suddenly, Zhong Huaran felt a chill on the back of his neck, and then this cold place began to become hot and painful. Zhong Huaran's heart was shocked, and he reached out to touch the back of his neck, and found that a small wound had appeared there.

This wound is! Zhong Huaran's face suddenly became terrifying, and she didn't care about any humility and politeness, she raised her head suddenly, and said loudly to Zhong Zhenren: "Zhenren, give me another chance, I'...... Yes!!! ”

Before she could finish speaking, Zhong Huaran fell to the ground, lying on the ground and curled up, as if the muscles in her entire body were twisted together and tightened, and she could no longer open, and the screams of pain spread throughout the entire residential area, and the surroundings suddenly became extremely quiet.

A wriggling fiery flame began to burrow into Zhong Huaran's dantian, biting a wound like a coconut mouth on the wall of her dantian. The pain of the damaging dantian suddenly spread throughout Zhong Huaran's body, making her begin to spasm, cold sweat broke out all over her body, the pain was so painful that she couldn't speak, and the pain was so painful that her eyes began to blur and darken.

In just a moment, Zhong Huaran's uniform was soaked with sweat, her long hair seemed to have been washed, and a puddle of water was left on the ground, and she collapsed on the ground, panting. But the insect lying on the dantian had already absorbed the energy in her dantian, and turned this energy into a toxin, which was injected back into the wound and ran along her meridians to her limbs.

Zhong Huaran suddenly laughed miserably.

This is the most cruel punishment of the Zhong family, and its name is the immortal worm.

As the name suggests, the reason why the immortal insect is called the immortal insect means that it can make people immortal. Although it may sound awesome, this kind of immortal worm is indeed a terrible punishment, not some powerful way to continue life.

Immortal worms are a kind of insects that can enter the body through human skin, and then quickly come to the human dantian, bite a hole in the dantian, and insert the mouthparts into the dantian. The immortal worm is attached to the outer wall of the dantian and has been parasitic in the human body since then.

When the parasitism is completed, the immortal worm will absorb all the energy in the dantian, causing the warrior to lose his strength, and then turn this energy into an energy that has no egg use other than maintaining the body's activity and re-excrete it into the dantian, running along the meridians.

In this operation, the martial artist's dantian regenerates energy, which is successfully absorbed by Changsheng, and excretes another energy to be absorbed by the human body. This reciprocating cycle makes the warrior completely turn into an ordinary person who has nothing special except for a long lifespan.

Of course, this immortality is not long-lasting.

The lifespan of the immortal worm itself is only about three hundred years, when the longevity of the immortal worm reaches the end, the immortal worm will fall off from the breach, and after three hundred years of gnawing on the dantian wound that can no longer heal, it will become a vent, making people's entire dantian collapse, resulting in rapid death.

Of course, in the information that Zhong Huaran learned, there was no one in the history of the Zhong family who died later than the immortal worm.

A martial artist, from a high-ranking cultivator to an ordinary person, such a gap is simply worse than death. What's more, the wounds on the dantian will continue to bring great pain to the injured person from time to time, and this pain is unbearable, just like the state of Zhonghua just now.

In the first 100 years, perhaps these people still had some illusions, hoping to find a way to get rid of the immortals. But without the identity of Wu Xiu, it is difficult to get a little resource, let alone find someone to help.

And after a hundred years, the wounds left by the immortal worms on the dantian will no longer be able to heal, and even if the immortal worms are removed, the dantian will completely rupture soon after the immortal worms leave.

Therefore, most of these people who were punished by the immortal worm committed suicide after a hundred years, and they could no longer bear such a difficult punishment.

Of course, some people have thought of using this characteristic of the immortal insect to extend the life of ordinary people, after all, ordinary people only have a lifespan of more than a hundred years.

But first of all, the energy of the immortal insect can only have the power of immortality when it directly enters the dantian and meridians, and once it comes into contact with any external environment, it will instantly lose its effect. And ordinary people can hardly even endure the pain of the dantian being gnawed, let alone the immortal worm entering the body.

And there is no energy in the dantian of ordinary people.

So the immortal worm has completely become one of the most cruel punishments of the Zhong family, Zhong Huaran knew what she was about to face when she touched the wound on her neck, so at this time she smiled bitterly, she knew that she was already doomed.

So when the Zhong family dragged her up from the ground and sent her to the cell, Zhong Huaran didn't say anything, there was no problem with anything.

At this time, what do you ask? It doesn't make sense anymore.
