Chapter Thirty-Nine: Going Crazy

After an unknown amount of time, the burning sensation around Wei Xuan's body gradually weakened, but he felt an inexplicably powerful and evil force slowly dissolving into his body.

Wei Hang climbed in front of a huge bronze mirror in the Hall of Stars, and looked at himself who was similar to before: the original wheat-colored skin had turned blue and purple, the eyes that were once dark and bright had become cloudy, the pupils had contracted sharply and become smaller, and the whites of the eyes covered with red blood had occupied almost all of the pupils.

He stretched out his hand tremblingly to the bronze mirror, and it was not until he touched the cold mirror that he finally believed that this strange and terrible face was himself, and that the morning was silent, and only his mournful and sad laughter echoed in the hall of stars.

He picked up the "Sutra of Innocence" and walked out of the Hall of Stars. The moment he stepped out of the door, he stopped, looked back at the place he was guarding for the last time, took out the wooden comb that had combed Ruoyao's hair from his chest, broke it in half with a "snap", and threw it on the ground.

He wants to cut off his relationship with Ruoyao, cut off all the compassion and justice in his heart, and go alone to find all the Xiqiong people who invaded Nancang to take revenge.

At that time, Ruoyao was on the front line of the battlefield in the eastern part of the Southern Cangguo, and she had studied medical skills with Daoist Qingyi since she was a child, and had saved the lives of many soldiers and allies in this war.

Forced by the stubborn resistance of Nancang and the pressure of reinforcements from Dongzhao, the Xiqiong army withdrew from the territory of Nancang a few days later, and the war ended.

Ruoyao heard that Wei Hang's village was also persecuted, so after finishing the treatment of the wounded, she rushed to the village, but what she saw was a dilapidated village that had been persecuted by war. When she saw the tombstone of the dangerous family, Ruoyao's heart was cold, and a bad premonition came to her mind. She didn't have time to think about it, so she went up the mountain to Liangyiguan to look for Wei Hang. Who knew that after arriving at the Liangyi Temple, the Taoist elders all said that they had not seen Wei Hang for many days, and the "Wufu Heart Sutra" sealed in the Hall of Stars was also missing.

"Miss Ruoyao, we also found this at the gate of the Hall of Stars." A Taoist leader took out something wrapped in cotton cloth and handed it to Ruoyao.

Ruoyao opened it and saw that it was a wooden comb engraved with her name, but it had been broken in half.

"Wei Xuan, where are you......"

Since then, Ruoyao has been looking for Wei Hang all day long, but months have passed, and there is still no news of him.

Finally one day, Ruoyao heard the news that the border camp of the West Dome Country was attacked, and the deceased happened to be a West Dome Lang general who went to Nancang to participate in the war, she immediately guessed that this was very likely to be related to Wei Hang, so she rushed to the vicinity of the attacked camp, although she did not find any trace of Wei Hang, but she found out that Na Lang General was indeed killed by an arrow through the heart, and she was even more sure that Wei Hang must have come to seek revenge from the West Dome people.

Ruoyao basically guessed Wei Xuan's intentions, and after many inquiries, she knew where several other soldiers who had led the army in Nancang were now located, and it happened that they were all in the border land.

By the time they reached the second border town, it was too late, and the general was already dead.

She hurried to the third nearby frontier garrison, and before she could get close to the camp, she felt the smell of blood in the place, and when she saw the corpses of soldiers all over the Western Firmament, she still thought it was lucky, hoping that it was not Wei Xuan's hand, until she saw the familiar figure, when Wei Xuan was plunging an arrow into the chest of the man in the general's clothes with his bare hands. Although the Wei Hang in front of her was already the same as before: a strange and terrifying appearance, a cruel and frenzied slaughter, and the pleasure, greed, and hatred in her eyes when she killed the last man, she was still sure that this was the Wei Hang she was looking for day and night.

Ruoyao stepped forward to grab Wei Xuan, but he didn't want to be thrown to the ground by him, as if he didn't know Ruoyao, his eyes didn't have the slightest warmth in the past, instead they were cold and fierce.

Wei Hang aimed at Ruoyao who fell to the ground and pulled up his bow and arrow, and seeing that the arrow was about to be released, the broken wooden comb fell out of Ruoyao's cuffs. Seeing the wooden comb, Wei Hang seemed to be stimulated, covered his head and knelt on the ground, struggling in pain, and couldn't stop roaring: "No! I can't hurt her, stop it..."

"Hang...... It's me, I'm Ruoyao......" Ruoyao stood up and wanted to step forward to support Wei Hang, but Wei Hang shouted: "Don't come here!" Don't come near me! ”

Ruoyao looked at the painful Wei Hang, took a step back, took the guqin behind her back, and began to play a piece of music that Wei Hang loved her to play the most.

Miraculously, after hearing this melody, Wei Hang gradually settled down, and muttered in his mouth: "Yiyan drinks, grow old with your son." Qin Se is in the palace, don't be quiet...... "The black-purple "flames" on his body began to fade slowly, and his eyes were no longer so hideous.

When Wei Hang returned to normal, he told Ruoyao everything.

"The Sutra of the Innocent Heart has indeed brought me unimaginable power, but it is also gradually controlling my mind, eroding my consciousness, and when I lose my mind, I will kill on a large scale, no matter who the other person is. As much as I tried my best to fight it with my mind, I found that I was awake less and less, and less and less able to resist that evil force, just like just now, if it hadn't been for the wooden comb that came out and stimulated me, I was really afraid that I would ......"

Ruoyao silently wept and held his blood-stained palm with both hands.

Wei Xuan was silent for a long time, slowly stood up, Ruoyao grabbed her, "Where are you going?" ”

"I will kill all the people of the Western Dome who have participated in the war of the Southern Cangguo before I am completely consumed by this vicious energy. I'm sorry, Ruoyao, I promised you to take care of you for the rest of my life, and now I'm going to break my promise. You... Forget about me. Wei Xuan didn't look at Ruoyao's warm eyes anymore, and turned away.

Ruoyao looked at Wei Hang's back and decided to find a way to save him from the "abyss" of sin.

"No matter what you become, I'm going to be with you."

……

"Later, I followed him to Dongzhao, and you know everything after that." Ruoyao sighed.

"It turns out that Wei Xuan actually cultivated the "Innocent Heart Sutra", so much so that he went mad." Su Yan was secretly frightened, he had already determined that Wei Xuan's next target was Mu Yunyi, even if the royal enclosure was heavily guarded, it would be difficult to defend the Xuan and not find the right time to ambush him, Yun Yi, don't have anything to do......

But he said that on Mu Xiu's side, when he had not yet arrived at Xiaoping Pass, he got the news halfway: Jiang Han was dead, and the way of death was exactly the same as the previous three.

"Sure enough, it has something to do with Nancang, so wouldn't it be ...... next" Mu Xiu didn't have time to think about it, turned the horse's head, clamped the horse's belly and rushed back to Dongzhao.
