The blood on Hua Tang's broken arm had been stopped by himself. He sat down on a wooden chair with his head tilted to the side.

His eyelids drooped listlessly, like the night hanging outside the window.

He seemed to be asleep.

A young Jishitang disciple stood in front of him at a loss, he knew in his heart that the head of the sect was in a bad mood now, and if he woke him up rashly, he was afraid that he would inevitably be punished.

Just when he was in a dilemma, Hua Tang slowly raised his eyelids and said weakly: "Is it that Zen Master Siyu is looking for me?" ”

The disciple hurriedly saluted and replied respectfully, "The master is waiting outside. ”

Hua Tang said: "Go and invite the master in." ”

The disciple breathed a sigh of relief and withdrew with his head down.

After a while, the footsteps came from far and near, Hua Tang slowly straightened his body, and the Zen Master Siyu walked in.

"Buddha is merciful, Hua Zhangmen's injury is better?" Si Xiang asked in a hoarse voice.

Hua Tang smiled bitterly and said, "I guess it's not going to get better." ”

"I've already informed my brother, and he'll be there in a few days." Zen Master Si Xiang comforted, "Senior brother is well-informed, maybe he knows some methods. ”

"Master Lao bothered." Hua Tang said gratefully, "But my apprentice sent news that the fierce beast Xiangliu appeared in Daze a month ago and rescued the roe deer owl. ”

"Is there such a thing?" Zen Master Siyu was a little surprised, "I remember that Xiangliu should be imprisoned in Yunmengze." ”

Hua Tang shook his head and continued: "Xiu'er also said that Chen Changqing, the head of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, was martyred in order to reseal the roe deer owl. ”

"Buddha is compassionate." The Zen master clasped his hands together and prayed silently.

"However, Sang-ryu escaped."

"How did he know all this news?" Zen Master Sixiang wondered.

"Xiu'er said that these were told to him by the head of Mengzezong."

"Xiu'er also said that Pu Jia speculated that Xiangliu would probably go to Fusang Temple or Lingxiao Sect in the future."

"The Buddha is merciful, and I want to come to the head of Pujia to return to Jiangzhou this time, just to remind us." Zen Master Sixiang said regretfully, "It's a pity that he was a hero at a young age, but he was plotted by the villain." ”

"What the master said is very true, the scum like Li Xuantian has appeared in the same way, which is really a shame for the righteous path in the world." Hua Tang gritted his teeth and said, "There is also the secret rumor of that ghost valley, with such strength at a young age, this person must not stay." ”

"Although the Buddha is merciful, he does not cross the uncrossable." Thinking about turning the Buddha beads, he continued, "If we continue to connive at the development and growth of the Ghost Valley, we will be ruined. ”

"What the master said is very true, I also received news from Qingzhou Lingxiao Peak earlier today, saying that the people of Qingmu Dao are on their way to Jiangzhou." Hua Tang's eyes flashed with a hint of revenge, "If Zen Master Sikong joins forces with Aoki Daoren, no one in this world can escape from the hands of the two of them. ”

"The Buddha is compassionate, but I don't know if Miss Chen is still alive." Zen Master Sixiang sighed.

Hua Tang also sighed and said, "I knew that she would fall into the hands of the ghost cultivator, and I should have changed the reward at that time." ”

"Master Hua is planning to use the rules of the Heavenly Dao that the reward must be cashed to save her." The Zen master of Si Xiang has realized.

"But it's too late to say anything."

"By the way, there is a good news that I forgot to tell Master Hua." Zen Master Sixuan rarely showed a smile, "Miss Sixuan woke up not long ago. ”

"Really?" Hua Tang sat up suddenly, his eyes full of joy, but in the blink of an eye, he leaned back into his chair in a decadent manner.

"Did she ask about her sister's whereabouts?" Hua Tang asked.

"Asked."

"What did the master say?"

"The monks don't speak, so they naturally tell the truth."

"And what did she say?" Hua Tang looked at the Zen Master Siyu and asked.

"Buddha is compassionate, a lot of things have happened these days, and it has hit her hard, I think you should go and see her." Zen Master Si Xiang said seriously, "After all, you rescued her." ”

Hua Tang was silent for a moment, and slowly got up from his chair: "The master is right, I should also go out to get some air." ”

Hua Tang followed Zen Master Si Xiang to the place where Fusang Temple was staying, and Zen Master Si Xiang took him directly to meet Chen Sixuan.

"Listen to the master, it was Master Hua who saved me." Chen Sixuan lay on the bed, staring silently at the white wall of the roof, and said without turning his head.

"I'm sorry about Siruo." Hua Tang said in a low voice.

"Master Hua, this matter is not your fault." Chen Sixuan said with an expression almost numb.

"You have a good rest, I won't bother you." Hua Tang turned around and was about to leave.

"Master Hua, please wait a minute." Chen Sixuan suddenly called out to him.

"What's wrong?"

"Can I ask you a question?" Chen Sixuan forced himself to get up from the bed, the back of his hand holding the edge of the bed was completely bloodless, and the dark blue veins were clearly visible.

"Babyshit...... Still alive? ”

"He is dead, and under the blade of killing immortals, it is difficult for immortals to live."

When Chen Siruo woke up, she found herself in an endless darkness, with countless translucent people passing by her.

Chen Siruo was a little frightened, she could vaguely guess that these translucent human forms were the wandering souls of the deceased. They don't have faces, but they share the same destination.

Chen Siruo had the courage to follow, and she saw that at the end of the darkness, there was a glittering river.

The darkness was so viscous that the silver streaks of light on the surface of the river could only illuminate a small patch of darkness above. This makes the whole river look like a star-studded ribbon embedded in the darkness from a distance.

It was so brilliant that Chen Siruo was unconsciously lost in the brilliant light, she even forgot who she was, forgot that she didn't belong here, she followed the translucent figure in front of her, and walked in the direction of the river step by step.

I don't know how long it took, but a strange but heartwarming laugh suddenly sounded in her head.

"Hehehe, the front is Lethe, and after the past, it is the noble place of the undead, are you sure you want to go?"

Chen Siruo was like being drenched from head to toe by a scoop of ice water, and she slammed her spirit, only to find that the ribbon-like river was close at hand.

"Who are you and where are you?" Chen Siruo hurriedly asked.

"It doesn't matter who I am." "But I've already told you where this is." ”

"You mean this is Lethe?"

The man didn't respond.

"Why did I come here, I want to go back to Jiangzhou, how do I go back?" Chen Siruo anxiously asked a series of questions.

"The way out is at your feet."

Chen Siruo lowered her head, and she was surprised to find that it was not the land under her feet, but countless shining stars.

The moment she lowered her head, the heavens and the earth began to turn upside down, the starlight hung upside down, and the darkness dissipated.

The next moment, everything was calm, and she sat up from a cloud of black fog, and although the scenery around her was unfamiliar, it was the most common thing in the world.

"Are you awake?" The voice came from behind her.

Chen Siruo hurriedly turned around and saw a young man wearing a black hood with a pale face as white as snow.

"Where is this?" Chen Siruo asked this question again.

"The Land of the Barbarians." Yu Yan said, "Or, the Twelve Counties of Barbarianism." ”

"Did you bring me here?" Chen Siruo sat up straight as he spoke, looking around, except for the young man behind him, there was no one here.

"I brought you here."

"Have you ever seen my sister?" To make her question more indicative, she continued, "She's about the same age as me, and she should be accompanied by a kind monk and a fairy wind healer. ”

"You've asked me two questions, but no more than three." Yu Yan said without a trace of emotion.

"You didn't say the rules just now, so it doesn't count." Maybe it was because the young man in front of him had a delicate face, which made people unconsciously feel close, Chen Siruo said this sentence almost without thinking.

Before the words fell, she remembered that she and him were only one-sided, and such a wording was indeed a bit abrupt.

Yu Yan smiled playfully and said: "The rules are set by me, whether it is counted or not, it is also calculated after I say it." ”

"Then you say, how can I continue to ask you questions?" Chen Siruo was worried about his sister's comfort, so he could only follow his words.

"Well, let's make a bet, and if we win, I'll ask you a question, and if you lose the bet, I'll take something from you, how about it?" Yu Yan said.

"Okay, I'll bet with you." Chen Siruo agreed without hesitation.

The corners of Youyan's mouth showed a hint of nonchalant smile, he took out a small mahogany dice, and said softly: "Simpler, let's bet on the size." ”

With that, he threw the dice into the air.

Chen Siruo raised her head with Youyan's movements, she wanted to see the bottom point of the dice, but how could Youyan make her happy, a black mist wrapped the dice, and slowly landed between the two.

"Please." Yu Yan said.

Chen Siruo said without thinking: "Small." ”

"I made a decision so easily, and I really don't want to think about it again?" Yu Yan asked with a look on his face.

"Anyway, it's all guessing, and hesitation will lead to defeat." Chen Siruo said.

The black fog clears, and the number of heads of the dice is three.

"You're right, you can ask me a question." Whispering.

Chen Siruo originally planned to ask him if he knew the whereabouts of his sister and others, but when the words came to her lips, she suddenly changed her mind: "What's your name?" ”

"Whispers."

"Do you want to continue?" Youyan asked.

"Of course."

The dice rise and fall again.

"It's still small." Chen Siruo said.

This time, the number of points on the front of the dice was one, and Chen Siruo won the bet again.

"Just ask."

"Do you know my sister's whereabouts?"

"I don't know."

You Yan really didn't know Chen Sixuan's whereabouts, because before he went, Chen Sixuan had already been received by Zen Master Sixuan in the magic weapon golden bowl.

"However, I have met the monk and the doctor you mentioned." Yu Yan said lukewarmly.

"Where are they?" Chen Siruo couldn't help but ask.

"One question is done, this is the next question."

Chen Siruo continued to bet small, but this time she made a mistake, and the positive value of the dice was six, which was big.

"You lost the bet, I'm going to take something from you." Youyan came to Chen Siruo in a flash, and before she could react, the other party's finger had already pointed on her left side of her face.

"What a beautiful face, it's a pity to ruin it." Youyan's fingertips gently brushed over Chen Siruo's cheeks, and the cold touch made her shudder.

"For the sake of your first question, I want the embroidered bag you have around your waist."

Chen Siruo breathed a sigh of relief, took off the embroidery bag and handed it to Youyan, and praised: "The vision is good, this embroidery bag was embroidered by myself." ”

"Still playing?" Youyan ignored Chen Siruo's words and asked emotionlessly.

Looking at the deep and indifferent pupils of Youyan, Chen Siruo felt as if she had fallen into the ice cave naked on a snowy day at that moment, and a thought suddenly came to her heart, shouting loudly for her not to continue playing.

Chen Siruo took a deep breath, and when she thought of her sister whose whereabouts were unknown, she nodded firmly.

The dice rise and fall again.

Chen Siruo didn't say his answer casually this time, but thought for a long time before slowly saying a "big" word.

The black fog clears, and the number of points is two.

"You're losing again."

"What do you want this time?" Chen Siruo asked in a low voice.

Youyan smiled slightly and said softly, "I want your face." ”

Before the words fell, Chen Siruo felt that his cheeks were as hot as a raging fire, and the skin on his face seemed to melt away at any time. The pain was intense, and she was momentarily blurred, and the silent screams clogged her throat, suffocating in despair.

Eventually, all the pain receded like a tidal wave. Chen Siruo trembled and raised his hand to touch his face, painless and itchy, not even the slightest feeling.

"What did you do to me?" Chen Siruo shouted heartbreakingly at Youyan.

"I am willing to gamble and lose, or die." Yu Yan shrugged, "You pick one." ”

This sentence made Chen Siruo's heart fall to the bottom in an instant, and she didn't even dare to look at him, as if he could kill him with just his eyes.

"I'm going to keep gambling." Chen Siruo gritted his teeth and said suddenly.

"But you don't have what I want anymore, what are you gambling with me?" Yu Yan said emotionlessly.

"With my life." Chen Siruo plucked up the courage to look directly into the eyes of Youyan and said.

"But I don't want your life." "In other words, if I want your life, I'll take it at any time." ”

"Then whatever you want, as long as I have, I will give it to you." Chen Siruo shouted in despair.

"I've already said that you don't have what I want in you." The whisper was a little impatient, "My patience is very limited, don't always force me to repeat what has already been said." ”

"I still know a secret."

"A secret on how to open a spirit peach."
