Chapter 31 - The Demon of the Heart
Just when Ji Muyan and God were having a good conversation, the two who entered the Sealing Tower experienced the most unforgettable night of their lives.
The moment Hong Jiu'er and Hong Shiyan heard the door of the Sealing Tower close, they were shocked to find that they had entered an extremely strange space, this space was a bit like the trial ice cave they had just walked through, and it was a bit like the hidden cave in the mountain behind the Spirit Sword Mountain.
The two shouted to each other a few more times, and found that they still couldn't distinguish each other's location, but at this time, they suddenly heard Hong Jiu'er screaming, Hong Shiyan hurriedly asked in a loud voice: "Hey, little bit, what are you calling for, scare me, you fell into the pit?"
At this time, I heard Hong Jiu'er scolding while inhaling the cool air: "Big stone, you crow's mouth! You said that if you fell into the pit, I really fell into the pit!"
Hong Shiyan snickered, "I said it after I heard you shout, what does this have to do with me, besides, how can there be a pit in this tower...... Oh yes, there's a hole!"
Hearing that Hong Shiyan had also fallen into the pit, Hong Jiu'er gloated and let out a string of silver bell-like laughter, but it suddenly stopped after a while.
Hong Shiyan just wanted to ask her what was going on, but suddenly found that the scene around him had changed, from a gloomy cave to a Spirit Sword Mountain that they were all too familiar with, and his location happened to be the door of the male disciple of Hongmen's dormitory.
Hong Shiyan looked at everything in front of him completely at a loss, from the open space that came out of the bedroom, Master Hong, who was short and had a pair of huge rabbit ears, was helping Zhao Meng correct his posture of practicing martial arts, Zhao Meng was naughty and squeezed his eyebrows at him, and after being found by Master Hong, he struck his head with a crutch and smacked his head hard, holding his head in pain and sitting on the ground to breathe cold air, next to him was Hong Lu and Hong Jiu'er who were learning swordsmanship from each other, and next to them, there was a woman in red who was sitting, smiling quietly and watching them practice, at this moment, the bedroom door behind Hong Shiyan was pushed open, and the second senior brother Yin Mo walked out of the door。
After Yin Mo came out of the door, he found that Hong Shiyan was looking at him with a very confused look, so he greeted him with a smile and patted him on the shoulder, "Shiyan, what's wrong? I've only been down the mountain for three days, don't you know me when I come back? Why don't you go to practice quickly, or the next time you go down the mountain to perform the mission, there will be no you in the list." ”
Hong Shiyan was a little confused by the chaotic scene of time and space in front of him for a while, so he just followed Yin Mo to the direction of the martial arts training ground, but before he took a few steps, Hong Shiyan felt a heart-piercing pain in his back, and when he turned around, he saw the woman in red who was sitting quietly and leisurely watching them practice just now, standing behind him with a cold expression at this time, and there was still bright red blood dripping from the short sword in his hand, Hong Shiyan looked at the woman in red with an indifferent expression behind him in a daze, and took a few steps back, but he was unsteady on his feet, and he staggered to his knees。
The surrounding scene also changed in an instant, the originally bright and vivid picture suddenly became gloomy, there were stumps of Hongmen compatriots everywhere, and the ground was also stained dark red with blood, and time seemed to return to the day when Hongmen was tragically destroyed.
Hong Shiyan felt the pain behind his back as if an invisible hand was tearing him apart, and the pain made him curl up his body, and at this moment, Hong Jiu'er's hoarse roar with a crying voice made him wake up again in this terrifying illusion.
"Don't! Don't! Yin Mo, you bastard!"
Hong Shiyan heard her roar, and knew that she must have seen the situation of that day like herself, and was confused by the illusion, and just wanted to open her mouth to call her sober, but felt that a strong wind suddenly hit behind her, Hong Shiyan instinctively used his giant axe to block the sneak attack of the person behind him, and when he turned around to see the person's appearance, he instantly exclaimed.
"Youlan, why are you?"
Youlan, who was dressed in red, showed a very disdainful expression, and sneered: "Why can't it be me? Do you think that with your boring carving insect skills, you can easily capture my heart and make me like you? Then I won't be willing to kill you? Or should I be grateful to Dade for saving my life in the dense forest behind Lingjian Mountain? Hehe, you Hongmen people are so naïve that people like me and Yin Mo will take advantage of it. ”
Youlan casually spit out the words, and at the same time used the short sword in her hand to send out waves of fierce attacks at Hong Shiyan, the scar on Hong Shiyan's back was still burning violently, and he could only parry with all his strength with the giant axe.
At this moment, there was a hysterical cry of Hong Jiu'er in an unknown place, "Yin Mo, don't, I beg you not to kill them, I'll help you find a cheat, please let them go, please ......"
Hong Shiyan was shocked in his heart, and after swinging the giant axe with all his strength to throw Youlan out a few feet, he raised his head and shouted: "Don't be small! You wake me up! Don't daydream anymore, these are all illusions, not real!"
Youlan listened to his words, but suddenly sneered, "It's not true? Do you think you can kill me if you lie to yourself and say that these are illusions?"
Hong Shiyan showed an open-minded smile and replied loudly: "Since you are an illusion, then naturally I don't need to kill you, although I don't know if I can kill you ruthlessly the next time I meet you, but Master Hong and Senior Brother Zhao Meng have both said that if you are obsessed too deeply, it is easy to produce demons, so I naturally have to learn the truth that if I can afford it, I must let it go." ”
After Hong Shiyan said this, he saw Youlan's face stiffen, and then it dissipated and floated away like smoke, and disappeared along with the surrounding scenery, and after a while, it was restored to a tower wall of blue bricks on all sides.
Hong Shiyan rubbed his eyes in disbelief and muttered in a low voice: "What the hell is this?" But when he looked around, he found Hong Jiu'er who was kneeling on the ground, curled up in pain.
Seeing this, Hong Shiyan quickly ran to her side, shaking her body to wake her up from the nightmarish vision, but heard her keep repeating the words like a dream, "It's not my fault...... It's not my fault......"
Hong Shiyan continued to increase his strength and raised his voice and shouted for a while, but saw Hong Jiu'er suddenly wake up and suddenly raised his head, his eyes that were originally as green as jade were already stained with blood, two sharp fangs appeared in his mouth, his nails suddenly swelled to an inch long, and black hair gradually grew on his body, and finally completely recovered to the appearance of a huge black cat. I saw that she suddenly grabbed a few blood marks on Hong Shiyan's arm, broke free from his hand, and then ran around the tower like a mad cheetah.
Hong Shiyan watched her rampage in the tower, making herself bruised, so he stretched out his arms and wanted to grab her in his arms, but Hong Jiu'er was originally a light and fast-moving cat clan, Hong Shiyan tried many times and only grabbed one of her hind legs, but she broke free again, and after a while, it may be that she was tired of running, and her movements gradually slowed down, so Hong Shiyan saw the right time, and one flew over, and Taishan pressed the black cat that Hong Jiu'er turned into to the ground.
Although the black cat was suppressed, it was still struggling desperately, staring at the two blood-red cat eyes, letting out a painful wail, seeing that Hong Shiyan still did not let go of her intentions, he simply opened his mouth and bitten, two sharp fangs pierced straight into Hong Shiyan's shoulder, so painful that he gasped, but still did not let go, but patted her head, and comforted softly: "Okay, okay, little bit, I let you scratch and bite again, you should also dissipate your anger, let him go in the past, shouldn't we all continue to look forward?"
At first, the black cat was still kicking around in Hong Shiyan's arms, but it slowly calmed down in his gentle comfort, and the crimson in his eyes gradually receded, and after a while, when the black cat's eyes returned to their original warm and jade-like blue color, she slowly let go of the teeth that were biting Hong Shiyan's shoulder, and then meowed softly, and fell asleep on Hong Shiyan's shoulder.
At this moment, the tower door behind them suddenly opened, and Hong Shiyan glanced at Hong Jiu'er, who was sleeping on his shoulder, and Hong Jiu'er, who was sleeping as a black cat, sighed helplessly, and walked out with her in his arms.
As soon as he got out of the tower gate, Hong Shiyan saw under the cherry blossom tree not far away, Chi Muyan was sitting with two strangers, and there were wine jars and wine cups on the low table in front of them.
Hong Shiyan immediately walked over and protested loudly: "Chi Muyan, you did it on purpose, let us enter that broken tower and be tossed, but you are in the mood to drink and enjoy the flowers here, it's just too much!"
Chi Muyan got up with a smile, holding a long staff with a whole emerald green body in his hand, "If I say that I have obtained the artifact before I enter the Sealing Tower, will you think that I am even more excessive?"
Hong Shiyan stared at the long staff in Chi Muyan's hand with wide eyes for a while, and shouted loudly: "I said that the two behind Chi Muyan are gods, isn't it too unfair for you to do this? Why do we have to go into the tower and be tossed, and he doesn't need it?"
Hong Jiu'er on his shoulder was also woken up by his loud voice, returned to his human form, and gently patted Hong Shiyan's shoulder to ask him to put her down, and then heard a cold female voice sound from behind Chi Muyan, "Wouldn't it be good to let you exercise more, and your artifact is dozens of times bigger than his." ”
As soon as the words fell, a purple-gold Xuantie giant axe appeared out of thin air in front of Hong Shiyan, much larger than his original one, and in front of Hong Jiu'er, a purple jade thin sword appeared, and at a glance, he knew that it was not a mortal thing.
The two of them were stunned at the same time, reached out and held the weapon that appeared in front of them in their hands, and suddenly felt a refreshing coolness flow from the weapon into the body through the palm of the hand, and quickly spread throughout the body, and the heat in the body was also swept away.
After seeing the subtle changes in the expressions on the faces of the two people, the god also got up from the white jade table, raised his hands and stretched his waist, and said to the three of them in a lazy tone, "Call out all your summoned beasts." ”
Chi Muyan retreated to a clearing far away from the cherry tree, took out four spirit calling stones of different sizes, and summoned the spirit beasts inside one by one, although Hong Shiyan didn't understand what the meaning of God was, he also took out the spirit summoning stone of the snow spider and summoned it.
After the green light of the summoning circle appeared, Hong Shiyan pointed to the one of the summoned beasts of Chi Muyan in surprise that was several times larger than the snow qilin and asked, "Chi Muyan, you're too exaggerated, right?
