Book XIII, Chapter 169

No, what's wrong? He Yu waved and slashed uncontrollably, and his physical strength was overdrawn little by little. He was sweating profusely and tried to stop, but he was like a marionette, unable to control his every move.

He Yu gritted his teeth, and the voice in his ears was like a magic spell that kept encouraging and driving him to continue. He Yu's physical strength was almost exhausted. If you continue like this, you will die sooner or later. Taking advantage of the weakness of consciousness, He Yu desperately lifted his last breath, deviating from the original cutting trajectory, and the red light of the sword blade surged, and he drove towards the phantom that looked exactly like himself in the upper left.

The phantom was shaken by the sword qi and was torn apart. In an instant, the surrounding darkness peeled away, and He Yu suddenly returned to the space of the seventh layer. He slid limply on the ground with his sword in his hand, gasping for breath, sweat already soaking through his vest. He Yu couldn't help but secretly say that if he had made a move a little later just now, I was afraid that he would have really lost his life.

After resting for a while, He Yu struggled to get up, found the hidden grid, and dragged the sword up the stone steps of the eighth floor.

The eighth floor, only one layer away from the location of the lock lamp, inevitably made He Yu a little excited, so he regained some of the physical strength and confidence he had just lost. This floor resembles a prison, with a huge space, and a few torches stained with tung oil are scattered on the walls.

It may not be a long time since the torch has been filled with tung oil, and the torch has a tendency to go out. He Yu walked to the nearest place, took one out of his hand, wrapped the oil drum under the torch, and went to the adjacent place to borrow another torch, and the torch covered with oil in his hand was full of firepower, illuminating the eyes.

He Yu followed the firelight to the end of the darkness and came to another large wall room facing the back of this space.

On the wall where He Yu's gaze touched, two thick, long chains locked a man with a cape, as thin as a withered man. The man shrugged his head, unable to see clearly. However, the dark grid at the man's feet deeply attracted He Yu's attention.

At this moment, the man did not react, and seemed to be sleeping soundly.

Heyu tiptoed close to his feet. He was just about to press down, but under the drive of the anklet, he was unprepared and was kicked and flew out. "Oops. He grinned in pain here, but he took the lead in opening his mouth: "Okay, you are an old man, if you can't make a plan, you have a plan, now it's good, you just changed to a hairy boy, you really deceived me and was confused to the top?"

Isn't Wen Yan the name of the head of the house? He Yu was puzzled, rubbed his stomach and got up, frowned bitterly, and said angrily: "You old man, look at how many ribs you kicked me, I almost broke a few ribs." ”

The old man's face was full of flesh, and his eyes were shining, surprisingly big: "You deserve it, who made you want to sneak attack me." ”

"Stinky old man, who is going to sneak up on you, I just want to pull the bracelet of the dark grid. As he spoke, He Yu pointed to the hidden position at the old man's feet.

The old man sighed: "Oh, it turns out that you also want to go up to the ninth floor and win the treasure lock lantern upstairs?"

"I want to go up, but I don't want to take the treasure. "Yes, yes, no, no, He Yu didn't feel the need to lie to him, not to mention that the other party was still chained and couldn't move.

"Didn't you seize the lock lamp?" the old man suddenly laughed strangely, and said with bad intentions: "Is it possible that you want to tell the old man that you have worked so hard to reach the peak just to see the true face of the lock lamp?"

He Yu heard the old man's sarcasm, and ignored it: "I naturally have something to accomplish myself, so it's inconvenient to say more here, and I hope that my seniors can discuss it and let me go." He Yu maintained the attitude of not being an enemy as much as possible, and said politely.

The old man relied on the old man a little bit, and he didn't follow: "No, if you don't tell the old man what you are doing at the top, I won't agree." ”

"Okay! You can tell you, but you have to promise me that whatever my intentions, you must let me go when you know it. He Yu thought to himself that the other party was locked here, and he must have made some big mistake. He couldn't escape either, and it didn't hurt to tell him.

The old man responded very happily: "It's easy to say." ”

"The seniors have been imprisoned for a long time, and they must not know the changes in the outside world. Now that the demon clan is in decline, the human world intends to challenge the fire again, and seeing that the war is imminent, no matter which side I am biased for, I can't sit idly by. He Yu said awe-inspiringly.

The old man said twice, smiling brightly, but in fact, he said disapprovingly: "What the hairy boy said is full of righteousness, but according to the old man, it is nothing more than hiding selfishness." ”

"Yes, I do have selfish intentions. He Yu didn't think there was anything he couldn't admit about it. He said calmly: "Don't hide it from my predecessors, I used to be a disciple of Luoyan Peak, and now I am the second highness of the demon clan, no matter what kind of identity I am, I don't want the war between the two clans to resume." ”

"You used to be a disciple of Luoyan Peak, and now you are the second highness of the demon clan, your identity is indeed complicated. The old man nodded approvingly, thought for a moment, and said calmly: "It's not impossible to let you go, but you have to think clearly, no matter what kind of identity and mood you come from, once you damage the lock lamp, the consequence will be the displacement of the dragon veins and the disappearance of the aura." And Luoyan Peak does not have the support of this aura, and the demons in the tower are looking for opportunities to rush out of this green tower, not to mention, the world will be in chaos. "According to what He Yu said, if the old man didn't come to snatch the lock lamp, he would definitely destroy the lamp body. Yes, it is very certain to say the sentence once the lock lamp is broken.

As for what the old man said, He Yu knew it before before he entered the Soulless Abyss. He thought about it horizontally, except for the Vermilion Bird in the Demon Tower, he thought that what should have been killed had been killed by him, and what should have been exceeded had already been exceeded, and what was left behind was hope and what should be freed. Oh, and the senior in front of you. Regarding the origin of this senior, He Yu can't say that he is not curious at all, he can only say that time is pressing, and he really has no time to care about and ask.

The old man paused, and said with a solemn and shocked expression: "It is just one of the rumors from the outside world, and few people know that once the lock lamp is destroyed, the so-called chaos in the world is not only about the demons coming out of the tower, causing chaos in the world, but at that time, without the support of the aura, Luoyan Peak will soon fall to the earth, except for the ordinary people on the earth, the dragon veins are displaced, creating dislocation between the land, causing natural disasters and man-made disasters such as earthquakes and tsunamis!"

He Yu stammered.

"Can you imagine what it would be like to be on the ground, with homes shattered and displaced people with nowhere to live. Before the living have time to mourn for the dead, they will begin to rebuild their homes or move their families to live a life of displacement. The old man's sad and sad look is just like empathy and what he is experiencing.

He Yu fell into endless hesitation, wandering and imitating. What the old man said was completely unexpected. He thought that the damage to the lock lamp was a big deal because some demons had been released. If the demon does a lot of evil, he can reclaim the Demon Tower. He didn't know that the damage to the lock lamp would be so serious. In this case, can he still use his hands to damage the lock lamp to stop the war crisis between the two worlds?

The old man's voice seemed to be guessing: "No wonder, a while ago, the old man always asked me intentionally or unintentionally if there was any way to completely repair the lock lamp, and now I think about it, yes." The old man was very excited and wanted to pat his thigh, but his hand was locked by the chain, and finally he had to give up.

"What is it?" He Yu didn't even want to ask.

I don't want the old man to ask without answering: "In order to repair the lock lamp, Wen Yan sent the people in your door to the demon clan to look for it?"

"That's right!" He Yu bluntly admitted, "and I was the one who sent it at that time." ”

"That makes sense. The old man smiled on his face, and said calmly: "If the old man's guess is correct, most of the human world's intention to provoke war is just to attack the demon clan, waiting for the opportunity to seize a large number of tear grass, so as to refine and repair the lock lamp." ”

He Yu listened and felt that it was impossible, so he immediately retorted: "How is this possible, I have already brought back the tear grass to the master, and repaired the lock lamp." Where do you still need to attack the demon clan and seize a large number of them?"

"Hey, you hairy boy don't believe it yet. I have lived all my life, never making useless speculations, never fighting meaningless battles. This fabricated act out of thin air is the most disgusting and despicable behavior of the old man's life. The old man said, with an unacceptable expression, and said, "Let me tell you the truth! I am not the same as the head of the sect in your mouth. He is the most proud disciple of Qingye Patriarch and Senior Brother Qinghal. I think at that time, my patriarch and Patriarch Aoba could be called the Taoist duo, and they were both at the top of the list. At that time, it was majestic and unmatched. ”

"I didn't expect it later..."The old man said in a gloomy tone: "Forget it, don't talk about it, the past is unbearable." To get back to the point, in short, this method of repairing the lock lamp is still old and tell you the head of the house, otherwise he will not understand the method of repair. He said, sneering.

"You told the master?" exclaimed.

"What, don't you believe it?" The old man smiled unexpectedly: "It's not that I'm blowing, there are not a few things that I don't know about today, of course, the premise is before the old man was imprisoned." Hey, hey!"

He Yu was speechless. This old man is really going to put gold on himself.

I only heard the old man continue: "At the beginning, Wen Yan's old man came to me, coerced and seduced, I couldn't stand it, so I fooled him and said a rough idea. Without saying a word, he went to find the tear plant. The speed is really good. I estimated that a tear grass could probably deal with it for a while, but no, it didn't take long for the lock lamp to crack again. At first, he came to me, and I swore that I would ignore him, and even if he killed me, I would not tell him. Later, he pinched my sore spots, knowing that I cared about the common people in the world, and did not admit that the common people were in trouble, so he had to tell him the truth. ”

The old man sighed and said, "Actually, if you really want to repair the lock lamp, you can't count one at all." It takes thousands of tear herbs to be put into a special container at the same time to refine for a certain amount of time before it can be completely repaired. That's why the human world will have the idea of attacking the demon clan. ”

It turns out that this is the human world, and this is the real goal of Luoyan Peak. He Yuzhen was on the spot.
