Chapter 97: Complete Liberation
The girl looked at me with an embarrassed face, and then looked out of the door: "I can't say, if Mr. Shen knows that I talk a lot, I may even lose my life." ”
Seeing that she was really scared, I didn't embarrass her anymore: "Forget it, you can go." ”
After she closed the door and left, I stepped forward and pushed the door, and it opened, and I put a piece of paper in the lock and made a hand and foot, so the door was not really locked.
There was no one around, so I took a deep breath and ran out of the house as fast as I could.
It's such a strange place, no matter how much I run, there's nothing around but endless black.
I looked back, and the house was a blur in the black mist.
You can't look back, you have to give it a try.
But until I was exhausted, I didn't find an exit. Until in the mist, there seemed to be a tall figure standing not far away, as if waiting for me.
I thought about it. Unhurriedly, he walked towards him.
When the fog lifted, I could see the man in front of me clearly.
"You can't get out of here."
"Shen Qiushui, you let me go!"
"That's not good, the people above want to make a deal with you, and I can't help it."
He smiled evilly and approached me step by step: "Lingsheng, you are obedient, don't run around at will, otherwise I won't be able to save you." ”
I wanted to ask more, and he took me back.
This room is very large, and I don't know who else lives, until one day, Jiang Rongwan appeared in front of me.
I don't know when I stood at the head of my bed, I just woke up from my sleep, in a trance, I thought it was Changzhi, so I called softly: "...... of Yanzhi"
Jiang Rongwan sneered, and I came to my senses, sat up from the bed suddenly, and stared at her for a moment.
"Jiang Rongwen."
"You seem surprised to see me."
I don't want to have too many entanglements with this woman, those past grievances, it doesn't matter who is right and who is wrong, I just want to leave here and return to Chu Nantang's side.
"It's really a hundred-legged insect, dead but not stiff."
"You guys are really ghostly, I want to run away, but you refuse to let me go."
Jiang Rongwen walked to the chair in front of the window and sat down, with a faint melancholy in her eyes.
She seems to have changed a lot, after more than 100 years of baptism, the whole person has faded away from the youthfulness of her girlhood, and she seems calm and introverted.
"Actually, I'm a little tired."
I moved my eyelids, didn't look at her, didn't speak.
She added: "Staying with someone whose heart is never with you is like a chronic torment, and no matter what you do or say to him, he will turn a blind eye to it. ”
"So what?"
"So, I want to give up."
I kind of understand her mood now, but I can't have much sympathy for Jiang Rongwen. Maybe I'm not right with her by nature.
"What are you telling me about? I can't help you. ”
"You can't help me, but I can help you." Jiang Rongwen sneered and stared at me for a long time: "What? Can't you trust me? ”
"How do you tell me to trust you?"
"You don't have any other choice now, you have to know that if you are caught here, you will not be someone else's chopping board for the fish to be slaughtered."
It seems that she seems to know a lot, she should have discovered a lot of secrets after staying by Shen Qiushui's side for so long. And Shen Qiushui probably won't have too much defense against her, after all, Jiang Rongwan and Chu Nantang have never been together.
"Shen Qiushui arrested me back, probably didn't he miss me too much, right?" I wanted to say more about her, so I led her on.
In fact, Jiang Rongwan's defensiveness was very strong, and the shrewdness in her eyes made my heart tighten. Dodge.
"I know you're talking to me, do you think I'm going to say it to you?"
"Say it or not, it's your freedom, and even if you don't, I can still put a knife on your neck?"
Jiang Rongwan sighed: "Actually, I came to you because I had something to say to you." ”
"What?"
"Shen Qiushui is very ambitious, what he wants is far more than what he needs in front of him, and as far as I know, there is a mysterious person behind him, who is controlling everything, I just don't want him to fall deeper and deeper, and now only you can help him."
Looking at her, there is no hatred now, after all, it was a matter of the previous life, too far away from me.
"I guess you already know our current situation, and we are passive everywhere."
"Shen Qiushui grabbed you here to get something."
"What's that?" I really can't think of anything else we have here that he is worth the trouble of getting: "The bronze box has already been taken by him." ”
"It's not because that box, that box, seals the power of the high priest, and there is a prophecy. As the box opened, I thought the High Priest's power and memory were slowly recovering. ”
I looked at her with wide eyes, "Is it related to the prophecy inside?" ”
"That's right." Jiang Rongwan frowned: "That prophecy is related to the underground dead soldiers of the ancient kingdom of Wuqiang, saying that as long as you find the heart of the flame, you can lift the seal and awaken the dead soldiers underground." ”
"What do they want to do?"
"Restore the monarchy."
As if I heard a myth, I smiled: "Are they crazy?!" ”
"They've been crazy for a long time, but can you still laugh when you understand what they've done? An old demon who has lived for more than a thousand years, and more than a hundred years, their power has long been spread, and with an order, the whole world will be in turmoil. ”
My clenched fists were trembling, and I asked softly, "Nantang...... Do you have any news? ”
She was silent for a while before she said, "That night, I listened to Shen Qiushui and Gu Xi talking to me, mentioning the attack on Chu Nantang that night. Chu Nantang is now plagued by forbidden spells, and his mana is not as good as before, if it wasn't for Long Jianyue arriving that night, maybe he would really die. ”
Hearing this, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: "You just mentioned the Heart of Flame, what exactly is that?" ”
Jiang Rongwan shook her head: "I don't know what it is, even they don't know, but I listen to Gu Xi." As long as they get Long Jianyue back and let him recover his memory, they will be able to know the secret of the Flame Heart. ”
Burning Heart...... What exactly? I have dreamed twice in my dreams, and the man mentioned it, awakening the burning heart.
"Why are you helping me?"
"Didn't you say that before?"
I was silent for a moment: "You want to work with me?" To protect Shen Qiushui? ”
Jiang Rongwan took a deep breath, and tears gleamed in her eyes: "You don't understand, when you love someone, you won't ask for anything, just ask him to be safe, and he will ...... I want to see him live well, not be a superior person. ”
"I didn't expect that. You will change so much because you love someone. I didn't expect that you would stand on the same front with me for Shen Qiushui. ”
Jiang Rongwan smiled mockingly: "There are many things you can't think of!" ”
"Well, I'll see."
Her changes can't help but make me reflect on some of the things Nantang has said. In this world, there is never real right or wrong, and there is no absolute good or bad.
About a month later, suddenly Shen Qiushui brought a few people in and ordered, "Take her away." ”
I struggled desperately: "Where are you going to take me?!" Let me go!! ”
"Just go. Why so much nonsense. ”
Shen Qiushui walked in front of him, and he didn't speak, I pursed my lips and said, "Shen Qiushui, don't make any more mistakes, what can you do if you get these, will you really be happy?" ”
"Shut up."
"You have never felt guilty for killing so many innocent people? Shen Qiushui, don't do anything that will make you regret it! ”
"If you say it again, I'll kill you!" He slammed his arms around my neck, his eyes bloodshot and full of cruelty.
Not for a while. He took me to an underground chamber with an altar of great energy.
I saw a man in a black cloak standing with his back to us, and Gu Xi and I were standing next to him.
I immediately wondered if this person would be the boss of the mysterious organization, or would it be the faith that Gu Xi was pursuing?
The man became more and more cold and unforgiving, and even when he looked at me, his eyes did not rise or fall, as if he were looking at a stranger.
The man in the black cloak finally turned around, but unfortunately he was wearing a golden mask and couldn't see what he looked like.
It just gives me a very familiar feeling. Déjà vu.
"Escort her to the torture table until the man comes."
"Yes." Shen Qiushui was so obedient to him that he ordered someone to tie me up to the torture table.
"When the hour comes, and he is still in the future, he will sacrifice her to the gods and give us greater strength."
As soon as the words fell, several torches around the formation in the secret room were lit, and there was a strange aura everywhere.
They bound my hands and feet in chains, and even though I tried to fight with all my might, to no avail.
Seeing this, Shen Qiushui lowered his voice and said, "Don't do fearless struggles, otherwise, your life will be in danger." ”
"Shen Qiushui! What is love in your eyes? Is it the harm you use to be unscrupulous? ”
"Love?" Shen Qiushui laughed mockingly: "Why should I give everything to a woman who only has other people and men in her eyes and heart?" Do you think I'm really that great? Since I can't get something, then others can't think of it. ”
"You will be punished!"
"Heh, if there is really retribution, then it's good to come, I'm not afraid of Shen Qiushui."
Time passed minute by minute, until a strange gust of wind swept through my door, and the flames of the circle in the secret room were all extinguished in that instant.
Plunged into darkness, the man in the black cloak used his mana to relight the fire.
At the moment when they fell into darkness just now, two people appeared out of thin air.
These two people are none other than Long Jianyue and Chu Nantang.
"Yo, here!" The man in the golden mask seemed excited: "It's been a thousand years, and we're finally meeting again!" ”
"Long Jianyue, don't come unharmed!"
"Looks like you've remembered, my high priest, Feng Li." Long Jianyue laughed in a low voice, the laughter was very familiar, but it seemed a little different.
I suddenly looked up at the masked man, he is the dragon to see the moon? This person is so cunning, he actually laid a trap from the beginning, so that Feng Li and us thought that he was Long Jianyue, and went around in a big circle!
Chu Nantang turned his head to look at me, and Shen Qiushui was guarding beside me, so he couldn't act rashly.
"I think he's going to save you? Will they be willing to take their own lives? Shen Qiushui sneered twice.
"Since ancient times, evil has not prevailed over good, and you will definitely not end well." I put aside my face and stopped looking at him, I don't know what happened to Nantang? Is his body still able to eat?
Feng Li said in a deep voice: "Long Jianyue, let the people go, I will give you what you want!" ”
"I need to see the heart of the fire first. to let her go. Long Jianyue said coldly.
"How can you make me believe your words for a treacherous man like you?" Feng Li refuses to compromise.
"That's okay, let's take a step back, I put the hostages in the middle of the altar, you take out the heart of fire, we go over at the same time, take what we want, how about it?"
"Good!" With that, the wind left the palm of his right hand, and a red gem appeared out of thin air in the palm of his hand.
When he saw this gem, Tatsuki seemed very excited. I couldn't help but take two steps forward.
Feng Li drank him: "Long Jianyue, don't forget the promise we made just now!" ”
"Hehe, how can you forget? Shen Qiushui, open the iron lock. Long Jianyue ordered.
"Yes, my lord." Shen Qiushui took out the key, untied the iron chain for me, and detained me towards the middle of the altar.
At this time, Feng Li handed over the red gem to Chu Nantang, and Chu Nantang walked over step by step.
Standing still in front of each other, Shen Qiushui smiled: "Young Master Chu, I haven't seen you for a long time." Don't come unharmed! ”
Chu Nantang sneered: "You too, don't come unharmed...... Lingsheng, are you alright? ”
I shook my head: "It's okay, what about you?" How's your body doing? ”
"Don't worry, the forbidden spell Fengli has suppressed it for me for the time being, and when the moon is full, the forbidden spell will be lifted."
Suddenly, Shen Qiushui clasped my wrist and tightened it, causing me to snort in pain.
"Young Master Chu, now is not the time to talk about everyday things, just put things down and stand back."
Chu Nantang took a deep look at me and put the gem on the jade plate on the side. Slowly took a few steps back.
Long Jianyue raised his head and smiled: "Wouldn't you just hand over the things earlier?" Feng Li, you always have a way to make me angry, as the lord of a country, I still have to look at the face of you, the high priest, it's really unpleasant! ”
"You are cruel to innocent people, selfish, if you don't stop you, won't I become a raccoon dog with you?!"
"I've heard too much of the truth, and now I don't want to listen to your ramblings anymore, becoming a king and defeating a villain, as has always been the case since ancient times. What do you think. With your current strength, what else can you do to get me? ”
As soon as the words fell, Long Jianyue rushed forward to grab the ruby, and at that moment, Chu Nantang rushed forward and protected me in his arms.
"Fake?!" Long Jianyue threw down the ruby in his hand, suddenly became angry, and struck me with a palm, intending to break the net with a fish.
Chu Nantang clasped my waist violently, turned around and took Long Jianyue's palm with his back.
My whole body with him flew out and hit the stone wall hard, Chu Nantang spit out a mouthful of blood, and saw the dragon and the moon chasing after him.
Chu Nantang immediately jumped up from the ground. The Soul Drain Bead in his hand turned, and the palm wind with powerful mana struck towards his face.
Long Jianyue didn't think that he could have so much power after receiving this palm, and immediately jumped up to fight back.
The golden mask, when it encountered a powerful mana, was split in half, and he took a few steps back before he could stand firm.
For a moment, it seemed that the air froze, and I couldn't believe my eyes, although I had doubts and speculations before, but I always overturned them in my heart over and over again, telling myself. It's impossible, it's impossible to be a white.
"Xiaobai? Why you?! Why?!! ”
"Hehehe...... Hahahaha......" Long Jianyue laughed wildly: "Why not me?" There has never been a person named Bai Yiqing in this world, and in order to get close to you, I cracked the broken bronze box and hypnotized myself. After a lot of effort, I still couldn't get the Heart of Fire! Hateful!! ”
Although Chu Nantang seemed to be very calm, he still couldn't hide a little trembling: "So that's the case, I've been thinking, what is your purpose, I finally know it today, Long Jianyue." You really want to achieve the goal, at all costs and means! ”
Tears rolled down his cheeks, so many years of feelings, ups and downs, life and death, turned out to be all fake, all fake!
"I condescend to be around you like a pug, and I can't relieve my hatred if I don't kill you!"
"Like a pug?" I smiled mockingly: "Long Jianyue, after so many years, although there are many quarrels and differences of opinion between us, we have always regarded you as one of the most important members of our lives.
How do you think that we treat you like a dog? At least, I thought we were friends, relatives. ”
"Shut up! That's my shame! I'm going to kill you!! ”
Just as he counterattacked, Feng Li laid down a six-pointed star array, breaking all of his attack power.
"You guys get out of here!" The wind left the command.
"Want to go? Get them! Don't even think about leaving! "In the flash of light, Feng Li and Long Jianyue have been fighting for a few rounds.
We didn't walk a few steps, and Shen Qiushui and Gu Xi blocked the way. Chu Nantang quietly stuffed a dagger.
At that end, Chu Nantang and Gu Xi were already fighting each other, I knew that I was not Shen Qiushui's opponent, and I just wanted to deal with him.
"Shen Qiushui, let us go, maybe I will forgive you."
"I don't need your forgiveness, look, do you think you can still go today?"
I put the knife behind my back, tightened it, and stared at him for a moment: "It seems that you won't listen to what I say." ”
"I see you still have the strength to speak!" As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly rushed up, grabbed my hand, and slammed me into the stone wall of the secret room.
At that moment, the knife fell from his hand and pierced his chest mercilessly: "You forced me!" ”
Blood poured out of his mouth, and he pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled: "It turns out that you will really kill me, and you hate me so much?" Do you want me to die? ”
"I ......" When I saw the ice spirit that was deep in his left shoulder, I remembered the scene just now, he rushed towards me, just to avoid the ice spirit flying over?
The ice spirit condensed by mana gradually melted, and Shen Qiushui fell to the ground, no longer having the strength to get up.
Shen ...... Shen Qiushui! "My hands, stained with his blood, if not for the knife I just saw. He'll be okay too.
"Shen Qiushui! I...... I'm sorry, I'm sorry...... Don't die! ”
Shen Qiushui smiled sadly: "Lingsheng, you can shed tears, I really feel ...... Glad to prove ...... You're not that ruthless to me. ”
"Stop talking! I'll take you out, it'll be fine, let's go! ”
"I can't walk...... Shen Qiushui half-closed his eyelids tiredly: "I never thought about hurting you, and I did a lot...... A lot of wrong things, but also just hope...... OK. I can make you look at me more. Lingsheng, I have already accepted my fate, but I ...... Just a little ...... Unwilling, you, don't blame me. ”
"I don't blame you! If you want to live, I won't blame you! ”
"I, I'm tired......" He slowly closed his eyes and stopped moving.
"Shen Qiushui! Shen Qiushui!! ”
Just when the fight was raging, suddenly the heavens and the earth seemed to shake strongly.
Long Jianyue and Feng Li withdrew their hands at this time, and broke into the figure of a person from the entrance of the secret room, when they saw Shen Qiushui lying in a pool of blood. Tears welled up instantly.
Jiang Rongwen stepped forward and pushed me away, hugged Shen Qiushui tightly in her arms, and wept silently.
"The self-destruction of the space, I have already started to start, soon this different space will be destroyed and disappear without a trace, if you don't want to die, run for your life."
In a panic, Chu Nantang stepped forward and took my hand: "Lingsheng, let's go!" ”
"Shen Qiushui is still here...... It was I, it was I who killed him. Nantang, we can't leave him here! ”
"He still has Jiang Rongwen guarding, we have parted ways with them after all, and we are going farther and farther, when it's time to turn around, we won't look back."
Suddenly, Gu Xi threw a space sponge at me: "Take her away!" ”
"Gu Xi, me!"
Gu Xi me: "He's right, we've gone farther and farther, we can't turn back, when it's time to turn around, Zen Heart, don't look back!" ”
Let's talk about it. His whole person rushed towards Long Jianyue as if he was committing suicide, Long Jianyue didn't expect that his usual right-hand man would fight back at this time.
"You damn traitor!! Die for me!! Long Jianyue's palm passed through Gu Xi's heart, Gu Xi's eyes widened, and he clasped Long Jianyue's neck.
It wasn't until Long saw that Yue Shengsheng pulled his heart out of his chest, and the corners of Gu Xi's mouth hooked up a light smile.
"Finally, I can be freed, I don't know...... I don't know what faith is...... But I ...... I don't feel happy. ”
"Let's go!" Fengli roared, and before seeing the space completely collapse, he used his mana to split a passage to the light. We had no choice but to join him without looking back, using all our strength, to escape.
The moment when the sunlight pierced into the eyes, the moment of life and death just now, seemed to be very far away from us.
Leaving no trace, I opened my palm, the bright red blood, but it had not completely dried up.
The tears that I finally stopped snatched away again, and I grabbed Chu Nantang's collar tightly, crying so much that I couldn't help myself.
"Nantang, Nantang...... That's just now, it's not a dream! Why is it real?! ”
