Although he finally arrived near Huqin City, the capital of the country of imprisoned cattle, the sorrow in Jiuhan's heart did not diminish at all.

People always have sorrows, and the sorrows of the previous nine and a half were how to retreat from the enemy, how to complete the method of borrowing from heaven, and how to restore the country of the negative army, but now his sorrow has become how to persuade the country of the prisoner ox to send troops to resist the enemy. The previous sorrows all needed to be done by pushing the boat down the river, but now the sorrow in front of him is not something that can be done by relying on his own ability alone.

After all, when it comes to eloquence, when it comes to persuading people to do something, he is not very good at it after all. No one is perfect, even nine and a half can't be an all-knowing and all-powerful person, if it weren't for the care and help of the people around him and the death of friends for his birth, I'm afraid he wouldn't even be able to reach today's realm. I'm afraid I died in the wilderness before I reached the cultivation of the Holy Realm, right?

At the thought of his friend, Jiuhan became sad again. Wei Xicheng is probably still trapped in Shiwang City at this time, how can his friend be called competent? Although he handed over Wei Xicheng as a mortgage in exchange for the freedom of the three of them, although all this seems to be the most reasonable and effective way and has been supported by Wei Xicheng, but at this time, when I think about it, everything is not very comfortable, and it is always like something in my heart, and I can't explain it. Maybe I'm not a friend, I'm just a settler.

Gradually, the pace of the nine and a half slowed down. This slow, the eight feathers walking behind him hit him head-on. It didn't matter, it pulled him out of that low mood at once. It seemed that he felt that something was wrong, and Jiuhan looked up and wanted to turn back and say something to Bayu, but when he looked up, the corner of his eye swept to the street in front of him, and he felt that something was wrong.

At this time, a group of nine of them were walking on the main road to the city gate of Huqin City. Even though it was already night, the faint light could still faintly illuminate the tall gate of Huqin City in the distance. There weren't many pedestrians, but they didn't seem to be noticed. In fact, it's right not to find out, after all, these six tall men are standing here like that, no matter who they are, even if they find out, I'm afraid they don't have the courage to come up and talk to them, right?

It's understandable if you find it and pretend not to see it, but at the moment, both the shops on the side of the road and the people in a hurry seem to really don't see it, and they walk forward as if they were air. Gradually, Jiuhan looked forward along his senses, and sure enough, something different happened in this world. It seems that even Hachiyu and Wu Liangzi have discovered something, and when Jiu Ban looks forward, a dazzling light fills his field of vision, and under the illumination of this dazzling light, everyone except him and Wu Ryoko Bayu seems to be indifferent.

There is a person standing in the center of the light, as if the sun is the center of the world, beautiful and lonely.

"Congratulations on your nine-and-a-half," the man spoke, his voice calm, "I have finally come to my Huqin City." ”

"It is naturally an honor for me to be able to meet Master Shaohong again. The two big men like black towers in front of him automatically gave way to the gap, and Jiu Ban stepped forward, bowed, saluted the woman not far away, and then said.

After the nine-and-a-half salute, Wu Liangzi naturally followed forward to salute, and although the eight feathers behind him were ignorant, he could still understand that the identity of the person in front of him was not something she could touch, and he also stepped forward to salute. Seeing that the Black Moon Guards had successfully escorted a few people outside Huqin City, Shaohong was also slightly relieved, so he stepped forward and didn't care about Wu Liangzi, but helped up the nine and a half with his own hands, and said, "It's hard to travel all the way, right?"

"It's not hard, it's not hard," was supported by Shaohong, and he felt a little stressed for a while. He hurriedly got up, but still lowered his head slightly and said to Shaohong: "It's thanks to Master Wu Xiaoxian all the way, otherwise I really don't know if I can get here alive." ”

After listening to Jiuhan's words, Shaohong smiled and looked around him, and looked at Wu Liangzi behind him with some meaning. It's just that Wu Liangzi hasn't looked up, but he can't see anything.

Shaohong didn't speak again, just gently patted Jiu Ban's shoulder, and then led him to turn around and walk towards Huqin City. Wu Liangzi understood what the teacher meant from beginning to end, so he helped the eight feathers on the side to his feet, and then led the eight feathers to follow the steps of Shaohong in front of him and walked towards Huqin City.

It is said that heroes are born in troubled times, but troubled times are not peaceful. Wu Liangzi has never felt that this world is not peaceful, she has always thought that this world is originally subverted, just like her life, it has always been ups and downs, and there have never been waves, twists and turns seem to be the norm in life, until the appearance of the ninth half, she is willing to go up and down for him, willing to twist and turn for him.

Shaohong's face occasionally showed a smiling expression, just like tonight. Every time Shaohong showed such an expression, Wu Liangzi would feel a chill down his spine. Others don't know what kind of person Shaohong National Master is, but it is impossible for Wu Liangzi, who has been by Shaohong's side all the year round, not to know. Or Wu Liangzi not only knows everything about Shaohong, but even the two of them are grasshoppers on a rope, and no one can do without anyone, where can it be a simple master-apprentice relationship?

Shaohong is very good in most cases, but in a few extreme cases, it is a demon. This is Wu Liangzi's consistent cognition for many years, and she even vaguely feels that she is not from this world, and neither is Shaohong. It is precisely because of the sense of alienation from the world, the strangeness of the world and the self-doubt of his own life, and the recognition of the sense of emptiness of life that Wu Liangzi has an extremely strong sense of identity when he sees the nine and a half. The first moment she saw him, she felt that they might be people of the same world, partners and friends, and that they should come together. As for how the relationship was alienated after that, even Wu Liangzi didn't understand his heart.

Walking on the main road leading to Huqin City, Wu Liangzi's heart was uneasy. In fact, this girl was afraid of the dark, and she was so timid that no one had to light a candle in the room when she went to sleep, and she had to fall asleep with the faint light of the candle. If a person stays in the darkness for a long time, he will have a great desire for light. For many days and nights, almost at least once a year, she would plunge into the boundless darkness with Shaohong to welcome the arrival of the so-called "kindred" emissaries of their kind.

And that messenger claimed to be from the "reverse wheel".

Every day that greets the arrival of the messenger is like hell. First of all, she had to wait alone in the empty and uninhabited hall, and then Shaohong would receive her light and come to her side. The two knelt down together to greet the arrival of a man who did not know his true identity. I don't know how long it has been, Wu Liangzi never knew how long he would have to wait, it seemed that the messenger wanted them to wait as long as they had to wait. Then, in the midst of the boundless darkness and the horror of silence, a black-purple vortex will emerge out of thin air, and then a black face with a mask will hang on a black head and stick out of the vortex, which is the messenger of the "Reverse Wheel", that is, their "kindred".

She has never spoken to the so-called "fellow clan" and "messenger", but the so-called "fellow clan" has been deeply imprinted in her heart since Wu Liangzi's childhood, leaving an extremely deep shadow. Can darkness defeat light? Darkness probably can't defeat light, Wu Liangzi always asks herself, but she can't give herself an answer.

Finally one day, Wu Liangzi threw this question to her master Shaohong. In Master Wu's impression, it was a sunny afternoon, and she was practicing with her master on a small peak in the Leyan Mountain Range. It was many years ago, when Wu Liangzi was still a little girl, and she was very happy to practice boxing and practice magic and memorize mantras every day; at that time, Shaohong was also a big girl, heroic and majestic, and there was no holy light as Shaohong's national teacher, but just an idle person who held a staff every day and wandered in the streets and alleys.

On that day, Wu Liangzi finished her cultivation in the company of the mountain breeze, she was a little tired but still bouncing to Shaohong's side, and said to her young master in a childish accent: "Master, is what we are doing right......? Can you defeat the light?"

At that time, Shaohong had hip-length hair, sat cross-legged on the stone of the cliff, put the staff flat on his knees, looked at the distance, and sighed softly. This sigh was very light, so light that it was difficult to be detected, but it was finally heard by Wu Liangzi. After a while, as if sorting out his thoughts, Shaohong lowered his head and looked at Shaohong's eyes, and said seriously word by word: "We, in fact, there is no way back." The world is not fair, at least for us, and if we don't do something, we will never have a chance to do it. You have to know that some people are born to break the rules, but some people are born to be rules. Do those of us who want to break the rules deserve to be suppressed by the rules for the rest of our lives?"

The prince will have a kind of Xiangning, should everything be born like this?

Wu Liangzi didn't know, but what she understood was that she just had to complete the task given to her by her master with peace of mind. Wu Liangzi was still very ignorant that year, he didn't have any cognition or understanding, he only knew that he was a native of the country of prisoner cattle, he was born here, and he was a ghost here.

At that time, the wind of the northern country blew on the young girl's face, and the wind was the wind, and the rain was just rain.

In the territory of the Land of the Mocking Wind, in the room where Wei Xicheng was alone in the Liu family's compound, Liu Qinqin came again today.

Today's Liu Qinqin does not have the weak and pitiful expression of the past, but has returned to his usual heroic posture. She took off her cloak and hat, and sat there in a black tightsuit that outlined her graceful curves. The face and figure sitting at the table of the Eight Immortals are superb, the dragon and the phoenix among the people, but Wei Xiyan is not moved, just sitting on the bed like an old monk in meditation, his eyes are slightly closed, and he seems to be silently reciting the Diamond Sutra in his heart.

For Wei Xicheng's performance, Liu Qinqin has become accustomed to it. Alone, she gently grabbed a wine cup, then poured it full of peach blossom brew, and then sipped it gently with a slight movement of her lips. As the saying goes, a full cup of wine and half a cup of tea, Miss Liu did not drink the cup of wine in one sip, but only drank half of it and then put the wine glass on the table, and then looked at Wei Xicheng not far in front of her with interest, and said: "Mr. Wei is so determined, these days he can sit quietly in the room without wavering." I'm thinking about whether to put some incense on Mr. Wei next. ”

"Miss Liu, please respect yourself. Wei Xicheng's eyelids didn't open, but he still trembled slightly involuntarily. He immediately opened his mouth and said continuously: "There are family people below, and there are some unspeakable secrets in agreeing to the girl to live here temporarily, and I hope that the girl will be fulfilled." ”

"So, what if I don't make it?" Wei Xiyan's words seemed to be full of fierceness, he sat there as if he was a warrior who would rather die than obey, but at this time, Liu Qinqin walked slowly as if he was a gentle countryman, a beauty, the ancestor of all foxes in this world, and the source of all temptations. Although the body was wrapped in black clothing, it did not hide the grace of the flesh in the slightest. She wrapped around Wei Xicheng's body like a black snake, and her two long legs were long knives with explosive attack power, slashing at Wei Xicheng's body one after another. It's a pity that Wei Xicheng's heart is too tenacious, as if it is as thick as two layers of city walls, no matter how the beauty moves, he can not move, and he is majestic on all sides.

Liu Qinqin's offensive came and went quickly, in fact, this girl didn't even pay much attention, it was just a light temptation. Seeing Wei Xicheng's body as serious as that of the King of Fudo Ming, Miss Liu suddenly lost interest. She turned around and walked to the Eight Immortals table, scooped up the half cup of peach blossom brew on the table, and played with the wine cup in her hand, staring at the scattered light reflected by the sunlight on the edge of the wine cup. At this time, Liu Qinqin's eyes were blurred, as if he was looking at it and as if his eyes were dilated, and he was absent-minded.

"Doesn't it mean that men with families like to find excitement the most?" Liu Qinqin turned the wine cup in his hand and muttered to himself: "Tell me about you, why are you different from others...... You know, you're so special, you're so charming, it's a crime. ”

"I thought that I would never meet a special person for the rest of my life, even if it was a person with backbone? In fact, I have met two special people, one is my master and the other is my father, but unfortunately they are not strong enough, one is a strong person and the other is a smart person who is opportunistic. You've got a lot of backbone, so I want to ......."

Before he finished speaking, he heard a crisp "click", which was the sound of the wine cup falling to the ground and shattering. Then, as the old saying goes, "illness comes like a mountain", and Liu Qinqin's body fell to the ground as if it weighed a thousand pounds. The only difference is that this time Wei Xicheng took the initiative and actually hugged her in his arms before she fell to the ground, avoiding the contact between the girl's face and the fragments of the cup.

"You're finally willing to touch me. Liu Qinqin was lying in Wei Xicheng's arms, and seemed to smile smugly. She laughed, but Wei Xicheng couldn't. There seemed to be a slight abnormality on the right hand holding Liu Qinqin's back, and Wei Xicheng, who felt that something was wrong, hurriedly helped Liu Qinqin up, and when he looked at her neck, he found that the back of his head was already covered with dense black silk threads at the moment, as if it was as terrifying as a black spider web.

"What is this, is it ......" After seeing Liu Qinqin's situation, Wei Xicheng was inevitably a little nervous.

She smiled and shook her head, but didn't speak. She knew that Eva's insight had already guessed what was going on anyway, and she was just waiting for her to admit it positively. Liu Qinqin did not choose to say the result directly, but lowered his head and took off a pendant that had been hanging around his neck, formed a ball, and then picked up Wei Xicheng's hand and stuffed it into his hand, saying: "You and I are considered to have known each other, and when we are leaving, we should leave a thought." ”

"But ......"

"There's nothing to do, it's all come to this point, is there anything else you need?" Liu Qinqin shook his head, then turned around and gently lay down on the Eight Immortals table, then raised his right hand and waved his hand lightly to Wei Xicheng, saying, "That's it, that's it, it just stops, that's it." Let's go, go find your friends, I'm too tired, I need to rest......"

Every time he said a word, it seemed that Liu Qinqin's breath weakened a little. Wei Xicheng, who was sitting beside him, almost watched Liu Qinqin's aura weaken little by little, from existence to nothingness, and then to almost disappear. The girl's body was still lying there, but the spirit seemed to be gone.
