There were a lot of people there, and no one really counted them, maybe thousands, maybe tens of thousands.

There are hundreds of teachers from the Taixue Palace, and there are dozens of outstanding disciples of the Bright Martial Arts Sect.

What are the so-called strong people, the so-called big shots.

Far, near, high, low... At this moment, most people are sighing.

Who would have thought that this battle would cause the first day of the Sword Domain, the so-called Divine Moon Pearl, to fall?

She finally proved herself to be a first-day genius, because even the Witch Prophet couldn't stop her, but she was dead after all—falling into the sea of evil was no different from death.

And what about Zhou Yan, a degenerate, desperately rescued each other, but finally killed Bei Shao Mingyue, his wife.

The drama of fate makes it impossible for everyone to evaluate anything, they just feel that their hearts are empty, and many people feel for the first time that the light is not so bright.

And one more thing, that is... How to deal with Zhou Yan?

The man who had changed beyond recognition, was full of trauma, and his body was withered.

Guo Ningshuang was in tears, she didn't know how long she had been crying, but seeing Zhou Yan like this, she couldn't help it.

What's more, the building in her heart has collapsed, and her reverence for saints and holy ways has disappeared.

Countless people were silent, shaking their heads and sighing for no reason.

Candle Qiu laughed, half of his mission was completed, and the primeval monster, under the blockade of the puppet doll, completely lost its strength and revealed its original appearance.

The black qi above the void completely dissipated, revealing the clear night sky and the bright moon.

A dead branch hung in the air, about three or four zhang long, bare, and it was already dilapidated.

"Isn't it? This thing is an ancient monster?"

"It took so much effort to control it, and for many years, it polluted a lot of people, and it turned out to be a tree branch?"

"Or a dry branch, is that a joke?"

Everyone was puzzled and shouted.

And Candle Qiu breathed a sigh of relief, nodded and said: "Sure enough, it is the branch of the Nightmare Mother Tree, after tens of thousands of years, it still has such a powerful power, it is really incredible." ”

After speaking, he looked up at Shadow Pupil and said, "Take it down." ”

Shadow Pupil's face was dull, his lips were bloodless, and he didn't make a decision, but just flew up mechanically, took down the dead branch, and handed it to Candle Revenge.

Candle Qiu laughed, and the two tasks were finally successfully completed.

"I also have an explanation back to the Demon Kingdom, this time the Nightmare Demon Cave has contributed a lot, and I will speak for you. ”

He snorted, picked up the Wailing Lamp, and walked away.

As a result, the cultivators of the Dark Dao withdrew one after another, and the High Priest of the Nightmare Demon Cave looked like a shadow pupil and said in a deep voice, "Don't forget your mission. ”

Shadow Pupil nodded, flew forward, grabbed Zhou Yan, and used the power of the puppet doll to fly out.

Everyone left, and the Taixue Palace seemed to be empty all of a sudden.

Hundreds of teachers were dumbfounded, unable to say anything.

The cultivators outside refused to disperse for a long time, and seemed to be still watching the excitement.

Ming Ke said lightly: "Qingzhou has not yet restored stability, all the teachers please go out of the Taixue Palace to maintain order until calm is restored, and then go back to the school to rest." ”

"I'll stay here for a while, complete the restoration and restart of the Taixue Palace, you've worked hard today, let's disperse. ”

When the voice fell, the teachers present looked at each other and nodded silently.

The primeval monster was not suppressed, but the Shenyue Pearl was gone, and Zhou Yan was gone.

I don't know who won, I don't know what the hard work is.

Today, it's like everything is happening, and it's like nothing is happening.

Day and night are reversed, and I am afraid that we will have to wait for a long, long time before dawn.

And Zhou Yan knew that he couldn't see the dawn.

He felt that his physical condition was terrible, that his life was depleted, that all kinds of wounds ...

He knew that now not only was his soul like garbage, but his body was also like garbage, rotten and rotten.

Falling to the ground, he could barely stand on his feet.

The feet dried up, the shoes got big, and they fell off automatically.

So he stepped on the ancient stone slab with his thin foot bones, panting slightly.

Shadow Pupil stood behind him, expressionless, and said lightly: "This competition will not affect relatives and friends, and the Zhou family will be safe in the future, at least the Dark Dao will not trouble them." ”

Zhou Yan didn't look back, just gritted his teeth and walked forward slowly.

Narrow alleys surrounded by crumbling hedgerows with grass and moss growing in the crevices.

The moist smell filled the air, and Zhou Yan felt his body slowly stiffen.

He muttered, "'Sinking Boat and Falling Moon', your mission is more than half complete, Mingyue is almost dead, and I am almost dead." ”

Shadow Pupil said, "We are all poor creatures. ”

Zhou Yan smiled and said, "You follow me to give me freedom, right?"

Shadow Pupil nodded, "Yes." ”

Zhou Yan stopped and turned back slowly.

He looked at the pale face of the shadow pupil and said with difficulty: "Come on, then I know what you are going to do, take away the puppet doll, just give me freedom, right?"

"Yes. ”

Shadow Hitomi gritted her teeth.

Zhou Yan laughed miserably: "Sure enough, I planned it from the beginning, taking away the puppet doll is to give me freedom, but if a person has no heart, how can he live." ”

Shadow Hitomi doesn't speak, and she doesn't look at him.

Zhou Yan suddenly said fiercely: "Come on, use your sharpest knife to cut open my chest and take away the puppet doll." ”

"Use the dagger I used to kill Mingyue just now, after all, it was the self-defense weapon you gave me, and killing me with it makes me even more ridiculous, isn't it!"

Shadow Pupil opened her mouth and said in a low voice, "Zhou Yan, I..."

"Say no more!"

Zhou Yan roared in a low voice: "After this step, do you still need to say anything? ”

"I heard you like me, if so, then please respect me, look me in the eyes, and cut my heart. ”

Shadow Pupil's tears suddenly flowed out.

She held the dagger and said in a trembling voice: "I know it's useless to say anything, but Zhou Yan, I have only shed tears for you in my life, believe it or not." ”

After she finished speaking, the dagger slashed along the previous wound and slashed at Zhou Yan's chest.

The puppet doll cried out in pain, jumped out of it, and sat down on Shadow Hitomi's shoulder.

Zhou Yan fell to the ground, blood flowing.

He clasped the earth with both hands and said weakly: "Your things, finally taken away, I am free." ”

He struggled to his feet, let his chest bleed, and walked forward, step by step.

Shadow Hitomi almost gritted her teeth and forced herself not to cry.

She just cried silently and followed behind Zhou Yan.

In the moonlight, in the alley, the two walked like this.

Zhou Yan thought of a lot of past events, both earthly and worldly.

He thought of Bei Shaking Mingyue's eyes, those eyes seemed to have a lot of content and countless emotions.

On the verge of death, Zhou Yan realized that Mingyue knew everything and was just tolerant of herself.

It turned out that Uncle Kang's slap was not a joke, but wanted to wake himself up.

It turns out that Xiaowen is very cute, and there is nothing wrong with eating chicken legs.

It turned out that Zhou Yuanxiong was not so unbearable, he worked hard to create conditions for his family, just so that his family would not suffer what he had suffered.

Originally... Many things are always precious after they are lost.

"Shadow Pupil. ”

Zhou Yan shouted softly.

Shadow Hitomi also let out a soft "um".

Zhou Yan said: "Have you really liked me?"

Shadow Hitomi nodded, "Yes, I like it." ”

Zhou Yan said: "Then you promise me to let me go on like this, and wherever I fall, you will bury me somewhere, okay?"

"Good. ”

Shadow Pupil's voice was extremely choked, Zhou Yan couldn't see her crying, he didn't want to look at her, he hated her.

So he continued walking, feeling his body weaken and weaken.

He eventually walked to a dilapidated ancestral hall, looked at the strange idol, and fell down.

He muttered, "I'm afraid of noise, bury me deeper." ”

"How deep?"

"Thirty meters, so you don't hear the noise. ”

"Good. ”

Zhou Yan said: "Shadow Pupil, goodbye." ”

"Zhou Yan, goodbye. ”

Shadow Pupil said softly, but found that Zhou Yan had closed his eyes.

"Woo..."

She finally burst into tears.

......

It was almost dawn, and there was a faint sound of roosters crowing all around, and few people knew why the night was so long.

Shadow Pupil's hand was dripping blood.

A large black hole thirty meters deep, with no bottom in sight.

The water had been drained by her, and had been sealed off with a simple seal to ensure that there was no more seepage below.

Only then did she look back at Zhou Yan's corpse, and said with a miserable smile: "I should have killed you in the first place, and it wouldn't be now, you look like this, and I look like this." ”

She hugged Zhou Yan and flew thirty meters underground, covering his body with a simple wooden plank.

"You're buried here, and half of my life is buried here. ”

Shadow Pupil said: "I have killed many people, I have never felt so uncomfortable, if I can do it again, I would rather not know you." ”

She poured out all the dirt from the storage ring, filled the hole, and sighed deeply.

It wasn't until now that a dark shadow appeared behind her, saying, "Congratulations on completing your mission, whether it's subduing the dead branches of the Nightmare Mother Tree, or killing the North Shaking Bright Moon, you are the first to do it." ”

"This time, the Demon Kingdom will reward you with a lot of things, including letting you go to the Demon Kingdom for further study. ”

Shadow Pupil smiled and said, "Let's go, I don't want to say this in front of him." ”

The two figures finally disappeared into the dilapidated ancestral hall.

Thirty meters underground, a withered body opened its eyes and muttered, "Damn... It was upside down outside, and I thought I was really discovered, but I didn't. ”

"But... Lao Tzu has slept for hundreds of years, what is the matter with finding me a neighbor? It happens to be thirty meters. ”

He frowned, knocked on the stone on the left, and said, "Hey, the one next door, you did it on purpose, right? What is an ordinary person doing buried so deeply, do you know that I am here, come and make a pair with me?"

"Speak, you!"

"Damn, it's a dead man. ”

The dead corpse sighed and said, "It turned out to be a coincidence, that's not bad, it means that I haven't been discovered, hehe, I can continue to survive." ”

"Neighbor, although you are dead, Lao Tzu feels less lonely, thank you. ”

The corpse smiled softly and muttered to himself, having endless fun.

"You're welcome. ”

The voice of pain came from next door.

The smile on the corpse's face froze suddenly.
