Yue Tong used to be a dignified and generous lady, and now she is a generous and dignified Mrs. Wen. It's not easy to find fault with her.

It was probably her instinct to keep her demeanor, and even in such a predicament, she persevered, her hair and clothes were not messy, but her face was not powdered - this was her habit. The clothes should be luxurious, and they should fit her identity as the wife of the lord of the Northern Sword Pavilion. The makeup is light, so as to look more dignified and generous.

She didn't have any extra politeness, and her first sentence was: "Miss Qi reminds me of an old man, who doesn't look particularly similar, but has a very similar charm." She has been dead for many years, and Miss Qi knows who I am talking about. ”

Of course I know that.

Yue Tong's voice became softer: "Although she has been dead for many years, I still think of her from time to time."

It sounds ridiculous, but I believe what she said.

People don't necessarily want to be someone because they like it. It may also be because of grudges, because of debts, because of guilt-

Yue Tong must have bothered a lot to kill me back then. Killing me should be a proud feat of hers, and it's not surprising that she will think about it from time to time.

"She was born very beautiful, but what is more rare than beauty is that she is ice and snow smart, and Lan Xin is wise. I have never seen a woman like her, and just seeing one woman can make people remember it for a lifetime. ”

I listened quietly to Yue Tong.

Now they are in danger, and every second counts. I came here to talk about Wu Ning's words, not to praise me. The previous is just foreshadowing, and there will always be a time when the picture will be exhausted.

Sure enough, Yue Tong sighed softly: "Such a person, for decades, hundreds of years, can't come out." Miss Qi, you are still young. I have vainly grown your age, and I cannot bear to see you deceived. ”

I didn't say anything, she continued: "In the early years, I met Mr. Ji's apprentice, that is, Miss Qi, your master Bai Wan. Her appearance is exactly the same as Wu Ning's. I suspect that this may be the main reason why Mr. Ji took her as an apprentice. As for Miss Qi, although your appearance is not very similar to Wu Ning, your aura is closer than Bai Wan, and when you see you, it is almost as if Wu Ning is standing in front of you again. ”

There was a strong wind outside, and fine sand crept into the house through the cracks in the doors and windows.

"Miss Qi. Master Ling has a deep love for Miss Wu Ning, and I admire him very much. But I'm not worth it for you and Miss Bai Wan. You are the ones who are with him, but his eyes will never fall on you. Whether it's Bai Wan before. is still you now, what he sees will always be Wu Ning. ”

This was said earnestly, and not a word of truth.

This is Yue Tong's strength, she can always get to the point. One hit and hit.

If these words are not said to me, but for any woman around Ji Yu, it can destroy her confidence, her feelings, and everything she insists on.

As long as the opponent shows a flaw, Yue Tong will press forward step by step. Always persuade the other party to use it for your own use.

It's a pity that she found the wrong person.

"Mrs. Wen, do you know what this place is?"

Yue Tong was slightly stunned. Shaking his head, he said: "Looking at the terrain, it should be the border desert of the Western Regions." ”

"This is the Devil's Sea." I whispered, lifting the sheepskin on the window, and the wind blew in the dust from outside: "Has Mrs. Wen been here?" ”

"Nope." She said.

"Maybe you've heard of it." I turned my head: "Wu Ning once came here to find the fire scorpion gall to dispel cold poison for the mother of the Wen Pavilion Master. Mrs. Wen and the Lord of the Wen Pavilion have a deep affection. Haven't you heard of this? ”

She still kept her composure: "I seem to have heard it." ”

"Of course, this is not the real Devil's Sea." I turned my head: "It's just an illusion. It is a small market town in the Devil's Sea that was recreated many years ago. The people who can set up this illusion must be the people who have been to this place. Even though she's been dead for years, she still has the means to trap us in the middle of the line. ”

Yue Tong pursed her lower lip and did not make a sound.

"Maybe she has some unfulfilled wishes, maybe she has some enemies, or maybe she is a lover. She set up such a formation, perhaps to take revenge, or to fulfill a wish. Who knows, even though I practice illusion, I still feel like I'm just getting a glimpse of it. Illusions are ever-changing, and the illusions that are used in everyone's hands are not exactly the same. If Pavilion Master Wen and Mrs. Wen want to break out of the formation, I won't stop you, so you don't have to take turns to come to me as lobbyists. I don't know more about this formation than you do. ”

Yue Tong's smile finally cracked.

After she left, I didn't feel sleepy.

The roof was covered with a few pieces of sheepskin and straw felt, and the stars could be faintly seen overhead.

This is where my memory breaks.

I remember that I came here at that time, and later, Yao Zisheng also came. But what about later? What happened? I don't remember. The memory in the middle is as if someone has cut it with a knife, leaving no trace at all. If such a thing happens to others, it can be heard as a strange story. But when it happens to me, this feeling is indescribable.

If a person does not even have a complete memory, and does not even know his own past, no matter when and where, his heart will not fall into place, and will always hang in the air.

Even, there is no way to think about why he exists and what he will do in the future.

I wanted to get my past back, not for revenge, not for the sake of others.

I just want to be whole and know what kind of person I am. Rather than cobbling it together from someone else's mouth, that's not the real me.

How many days have we been trapped in this phantom array? The next day? Day 3? I don't remember exactly.

Time is meaningless here. Just like the legendary scholar who experienced a pillow of yellow sorghum dream, the rice was not yet cooked, and he had already experienced it all his life.

Maybe it's only a snap of a finger out there now, or maybe ten or eight years have passed—

In the past, I thought that I wanted revenge more, to get justice for myself, to find out the truth of what happened back then.

But now I find that I don't think so, I just want to find my master now and make sure he is safe.

I just want to be with him.

Maybe it's unproductive to think so.

If you want to get out, you have to break the formation.

The people next door didn't stay in the house all the time, they were scared, and they were more desperate than I was to get out.

I could hear them coming in and out, whispering conversations. There is also the rustling sound of activity in the house.

As I left the inn, I was followed by someone.

I don't mind them doing that, I want to follow them.

The bazaar is small, and a hundred steps away is already a wasteland. The ground was sparse with thorny grass, and I bent down to grab a handful of sand and watched the yellow sand dust flow through my fingers, everything was so real.

When I walked out of the distance and turned back, the person who followed me actually squatted where I had just stopped, watching the action, and was holding the sand into my bag.

Do they still think there is some mystery in the sand?

The more you walk, the smoother it becomes. The sky was overcast, and the sky in the distance seemed to be connected with the yellow sand. I couldn't tell where the sky was and where the earth was, and it was vast and lonely.

At that time, I was looking for a fire scorpion here, and I waited for a long time. I went out every day to inquire around, and I searched for many days in the market, but there was no news.

Although everything looks the same as in the past now, it is ...... After all, it's fake, because Yao Zisheng won't come back to life, and he won't appear here again.

Fire scorpions are born with fire poison. Very rare. Although I didn't find a fire scorpion in the bazaar at that time, I heard a man selling medicinal herbs tell an old story. His father was bitten to death by a scorpion while he was looking for a snake to molt, and he was in a hurry to shoot the scorpion to pieces. Listen to his description, it is the fire scorpion. But after many years, he no longer remembered where he encountered the fire scorpion, only a vague but general impression.

It is the edge of the sand swamp known as the Devil's Sea.

I didn't stop all the way in that direction. The Devil's Sea is far away from the market, and it takes half a day's work. I could see a long way away from the desert, and the people who followed me couldn't hide their figures. I simply didn't hide it, and I was afraid of losing them if I hid them, so I simply showed my figure and followed me generously.

The Devil's Sea is a quicksand swamp, the cause is unknown, and there are no people in the nearby 100 miles. The sand swamp will still move, but it won't move the place.

I was very careful, and when I approached the Devil's Sea, I didn't know which step I would get into quicksand. When the time comes, the more you struggle, the deeper you fall, and finally you don't have a top in the quicksand, and you are swallowed silently, leaving not even a trace.

I picked up a thin rod and explored the way in front of me, and walked in step by step.

He hadn't gone far when he suddenly heard an exclamation behind him.

I turned my head, and one of the people who followed me was stuck in the sand, struggling desperately. His companion tried a lot of effort but couldn't drag him out, but watched him sink deeper and deeper, and finally had to let go of his hand in order to protect himself.

The man sank so fast that soon even the last scream disappeared into the vast sea of sand, and the silence all around him returned.

I turned around and walked forward.

The rest of the people behind me followed in silence.

Although this is an illusion array, this person should really be dead.

Some illusions do not cause death, even if you see a tiger pounce and bite you to death, but after getting rid of illusion, it is just like having a nightmare, and in addition to palpitations, you may have a minor illness. But some illusions are not, at least not the illusion array in front of you.

To be dead is to be dead, and there will be no more life.

Bypassing the sand dunes in front of you, you can see a patch of thorny grass and rocks in front of you.

I stopped and looked at the desolate landscape ahead.

Before you know it, it's getting dark, and it's getting dark.

Fire scorpions are nocturnal, and their nests are deep in the sand, and it is impossible to find them during the day.

I spread out my palm, and a faint white light and smoke escaped from my palm, condensing into a clump, and the phantom pearl gradually became clear in the light and smoke.

The Phantom Orb floated in front of my face, and it glowed brightly enough to illuminate me.

Scorpions eat once and can go without food for many days, but they still have to drink water.

There aren't many water sources in the desert, especially here in Devil's Swamp.

I once stayed here for more than a month and found no trace of the fire scorpion. The scorpion has seen a lot, and during this time, he also caught a rare poisonous scorpion with a red body, but unfortunately he later learned that it was not a fire scorpion, and Bai was happy.

As I had predicted, this search was in vain.

I continued to look here for many days on end. And those people in the Northern Sword Pavilion also persevered and followed me every day. Except for the first two days when some of them got stuck in the sand swamp, and then they all got careful. But day after day. Every day I did nothing changed, and their masters finally couldn't hold their breath.

Sitting in the room and waiting all day like this is actually a kind of torture.

I had already discovered that Wen Fei and Yue Tong were following me, and not their minions.

The weather was not good on this day, the sky was gloomy, the wind was cold, and the dead grass and leaves swirled past me, so I was so close to not getting lost.

Fire scorpions may not come out in this kind of weather, although they burrow in the ground, they are extremely sensitive to the weather. The weather in this hellish place of the Devil's Sea is really uncertain. Sometimes there is not a drop of rain for a year or two, but sometimes it can rain for three days and three nights, and the wind will blow people and camels and horses into the sky.

I hid behind two boulders next to each other for shelter. The sky became so fast, the gray sky just now seemed to be suddenly splashed with a basin of thick ink, and the thick clouds that were pressed by black were about to fall down. The wind grew stronger, and I flinched into the crevice.

There was a sound around him.

Wen Fei and Yue Tong grabbed the edge of the rock and squeezed over. The wind is blowing. The sound was like thunder. The couple probably had never seen such a scene, and they couldn't care about their hypocritical and polite masks anymore, Wen Fei also looked out, Yue Tong had already followed me, and wrapped his head and face with clothes.

The storm is coming.

Those who have not experienced it can never imagine what this is like. The whole world was shaking, and all the senses were useless at this moment. Hearing. Sight, smell...... All of them are gone.

It seems that the next moment the whole person will be crushed into powder.

I don't know how long it took, but the wind was a little weaker than just now. I barely managed to open my eyes, and it was still dark outside, and I couldn't see anything.

Wen Fei and Yue Tong were huddled tightly with me.

It's ridiculous to tell me a day ago that I would be so close to this couple without any gaps. I don't believe it.

Yue Tong also opened her eyes, and in the dimness her eyes were full of fear. Completely lost his usual calm and calm look.

I don't know what was blown by the strong wind, and it hit the sand not far from us, and the sand and gravel lifted up almost covered our whole body.

But the hurricane is already the end of the crossbow.

Come as fast as it comes, and go as fast as it goes.

I brushed the sand off my side, plucked my ears and sneezed. Wen Fei and Yue Tong also dug themselves out of the sand in embarrassment, both of them were disgraced, they looked like two people who had been pinched out of the sand, and their original demeanor could not be seen at all.

I touched the water bladder on my body, poured out the water and rinsed my mouth, trying to find the right direction and move forward.

Yue Tong called out in a hoarse voice behind him: "Miss Qi." ”

I didn't want to deal with this hypocritical couple at all, and I didn't stop.

"Miss Qi, please stay, I have something very important to say."

The so-called extremely important thing is that for them, it has nothing to do with me.

After the strong wind, the Devil's Sea Sand Marsh completely changed its appearance, and the original terrain was completely lost, and the high places became low-lying, and the craggy rocks that were not there were also exposed.

I continued to walk inside, and Yue Tong and the others still didn't give up, and still followed me closely. I go and they go, I stop and rummage, and they are looking too.

Yue Tong panted and caught up from behind: "Miss Qi, can I help you find it?" ”

"You know what I'm looking for?"

Yue Tong was stunned when he was asked: "Isn't it a fire scorpion gall?" ”

No matter how shrewd she is, she doesn't understand illusion, let alone the illusion array.

I looked at her and thought that she was still calculating, but she hadn't even found the direction of her calculations, which was ridiculous.

"Now that no one needs fire scorpion gall into medicine, what can you do to find fire scorpion gall bladder?"

Yue Tong's lips pursed tightly, but he could still bear not to tear his face with me.

Endurance is unbearable, so it has achieved a career that others can't achieve. In this regard, I still admire her, if she hadn't used so many people's net worth as a stepping stone for herself.

She was about to say something behind me, and I crouched down and began to dig up the rocks to take a closer look.

This gust of wind may have helped me, and even though the fire scorpion was deep under the sand, it was probably alarmed by the gust of wind just now. The change of terrain will make them anxious to observe and adapt to the environment. At this time, it is likely that the traces of fire scorpions will be found in a very shallow way.

It was getting dark. Maybe this day is another futile.

I used a short stick to remove the wet grit in front of me, Yue Tong suddenly whispered, "Miss Qi......" Her voice behind her was softer, and I instinctively tilted my head slightly to hear it more clearly.

Suddenly heard a crisp sound of "ding" in his ears, and a trace of surprise appeared on Yue Tong's face.

The face, which was still close just now, suddenly seemed to be taken by a ghost, and it stepped back more than a foot in an instant.

She held a short dagger tightly in her hand, if it was according to the distance between me and her just now, this knife would definitely pierce the vital point of my body, but now more than a foot apart, Yue Tong held the knife tightly and made a forward stabbing motion. It doesn't look like intimidation, it's not like acting, it's too weird.

I slowly stood up. Yue Tong looked at me, and then at the short dagger in his hand.

What she stabbed just now was just a bamboo chopstick that I touched casually from the small inn, which was just a small trick, but it was more than enough to deceive the uncertain Yue Tong.

In my last life, I was ruined by these two plots, and Wen Fei personally sent me to Huangquan Road. How could I be defenseless against these two?

"Mrs. Wen," I looked at her with a smile, "what are you doing here?" ”

The current Yue Tong is not the one I knew at the beginning.

At that time, no matter what happened to her, she didn't lose her temper.

But now that they have been trapped in the phantom array for a few days, they are becoming more and more afraid.

I don't know how long it's been outside, I don't know if it's a real illusion here, I don't even know if I'm still alive, how can I get rid of all this.

Every day is more anxious than the day before. They had to live in the next room, and they couldn't close their eyes all night long.

That's the end of the machine.

Wen Fei didn't know where he went, and he couldn't find him in front of him.

Mrs. Wen was holding a knife. Is this trying to kill me? ”

Yue Tong's face was pale, and his eyes were bloodshot.

"I really can't imagine, isn't Mrs. Wen a very courageous person? I have always admired you very much, you have so many lives on your hands, and you can still make a good person who is reincarnated as a Bodhisattva. ”

"Shut up." Yue Tong's voice was hoarse. His eyes were red, and he stared at me deadly: "You should have died a long time ago...... You people will pretend to be ghosts. You shouldn't be living in this world at all. I would have killed you a long time ago, once...... Twice, why don't you die? ”

That's not right. Sword Immortal Yu Baiping's lover is Zhen Hui, and the two are in love. Didn't your Yue family advertise that you were the queen of the Sword Immortal? Why is there no ancestral legacy at all? ”

"Shut up!" Yue Tong clutched the short dagger tightly, and the green tendons in his hands bulged: "Why don't you die, you should have died a long time ago, we would have killed you a long time ago...... Who are you? You, you're not human, you're a ghost......"

Killed a long time ago?

It was obviously Wu Ning who they killed, but now she couldn't tell where she was, and she didn't even know who the person standing in front of her was.

But she wasn't wrong.

Wu Ning is indeed not dead.

Because I'm still standing here alive.

She screamed, and I thought she was going to lunge at me, but Yue Tong suddenly turned around and ran away.

I was stunned for a moment, and I hadn't decided whether to chase it or not. Her back looked both familiar and somewhat unfamiliar. Of course I am familiar with her figure, she is my enemy, and I will not forget it.

But...... This feeling......

Where and when have I met......

Not as gorgeous as her usual clothes, delicate hair bun and makeup.

yes, I remembered.

It was in Leijiazhuang, the bride, who dressed Lei Fen, and then left the bride who didn't know where to go. I saw her in Lei Fang's dream, her face was disguised, and her clothes were very different from usual.

I don't even remember it until now.

It's her, it's her. The usage of the Night Gu was obtained by her from Yao Zisheng, and later she and Wen Fei repeatedly used the Night Gu to kill people and eradicate dissidents, but the black cauldron was my back with Yao Zisheng.

Not counting the past, just the debt of nearly 1,000 lives in Leijiazhuang, how many lives does she have to pay?

If she succeeds that time, Lei Qishan, Shigong, I, and possibly other people who oppose the Northern Sword Pavilion will all die in the dawn and dawn.

With such a flash, her figure was already obscured by the thick fog of sand and dust.

There was a slight movement at his feet.

I lowered my head, and a purple-black scorpion with a red tail tip crawled slowly along the end of the short rod at some point.
