Chapter 341: The Ghost of the Evil Spring Prison
Dead cities, ruins, statues of Guanyin...... Everything disappeared, and when Lin Shouxi opened his eyes, he only saw lanterns floating in the night sky.
There was a faint fragrance wafting from his side.
Looking sideways, Mu Shijing was sitting quietly beside him, his black hair was falling down, his elegant cheeks were slightly raised, looking at the sky, his pupils were clear and distinct after the pale color faded, revealing a touch of tiredness. The girl's cotton black skirt hangs just right down to her knees, and the dark snow silk ice stockings on her thin white and clear calves are smooth.
"Slept for so long?" Mu Shijing glanced at him.
"Hmmm......"
Lin Shouxi still had a headache.
"Let's go into the city when you wake up, the lantern festival will start soon, don't waste time." Mu Shijing kicked the sword that was resting on the side with the tip of her shoe, and after a few spins around her wrist, she hung it on her back, she looked at Lin Shouxi and handed it out.
Lin Shouxi grabbed the girl's hand and got up.
Zhihai is still aching.
After a brief recollection, the memories of the dead city were vivid, and he immediately realized that the Yellow Monarch had used the power of time of the god of tide knowledge before his death, and she had escaped into the Pillar of Time in an attempt to gain a chance of life, and they had been included in the fault of the Pillar of Time.
"What's the matter, why are you still holding the pestle, this is sleeping stupidly?" Mu Shijing leaned over and stared into his eyes, stretched out his hand and shook it in front of him.
"What just happened?" Lin Shouxi asked hurriedly.
"What happened? We rushed for three days and three nights, tired and tired, it happened that it was not yet dark, you said that you wanted to rest before entering Chang'an City, who would have thought that you would close your eyes and recuperate and fall asleep directly. Mu Shijing put his arms around his chest and said contemptuously.
ββ¦β¦β
Lin Shouxi gritted his teeth.
Is that the case again?
He couldn't help but think of the fact that the Divine Domain was turning back time under the influence of the Time and Space Demon God, the Time and Space Demon God was the heir of the tide, and his Pillar of Time also had a similar effect, and the strange thing was that this time, even without Shi Yirao's help, he still remembered everything completely.
It's Mu Shijing......
"What day is today?" Lin Shouxi asked.
"December 25th, don't you remember this?" Mu Shijing asked rhetorically.
Really......
Today is the day of the birth of the Emperor of Chang'an City, and the Emperor chose this day to tear down her tattered card table and start anew.
"Why do you look so stupid and keep talking in your sleep when you just went to sleep...... You're not going crazy, are you? Mu Shijing touched his forehead with his palm.
Lin Shouxi didn't know how to explain all this to Mu Shijing for the time being, he looked at the sun falling in the west, and without delay, he immediately grabbed Mu Shijing's wrist and said firmly: "Enter the city first!" β
"Hey, it hurts...... What are you anxious about? β
Mu Shijing's wrist was grabbed and he cried out softly.
When Lin Shouxi heard the girl's coquettish moan, he couldn't help but think of the cold appearance of her pale pupils, when Mu Shijing was very close to him, but it was like a cloud far away from the sky, which would disappear at any time.
Thinking of this, Lin Shouxi's hand clenched tighter.
"What did I just say?" Lin Shouxi asked.
"Saying something 'she won't let me either', shouting so loudly that it makes me ......"
"What's the noise?"
"No, it's nothing ......" Mu Shijing was cramped.
"Aren't you going to fall asleep too?" Lin Shouxi asked.
"How so? Before you go to bed, I promised you that you would help you keep it well, how could I be derelict in my duty when I promised good things? Mu Shijing rubbed her sleepy eyes, and said confidently.
"Hmm......" Lin Shouxi didn't bother to expose it, and asked, "What about the three-flowered cat, where did it go?" β
"Little earth cat?"
Mu Shijing was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously looked around, and was stunned for a while before revealing a look of sudden realization: "The little earth cat let us go first, it will go alone to collect the wishing power, and then drive the king of Cangbi to find us...... Why don't you remember anything? β
Lin Shouxi knew that when time and space were out of order, people's memories would also be stiffly corrected to make everything seem reasonable. This reasonableness may seem absurd to the sober to the sober, but it is usually impossible for the authorities to see through it.
"Hey...... When we enter the city, do we want to disguise ourselves, I'll go change into the village girl's clothes or something. Mu Shijing proposed.
"No, you don't."
Lin Shouxi replied immediately, and immediately rushed into the crowd with her.
The sun had already set, and the city of Chang'an was shrouded in night.
As they entered, the lanterns on both sides of Chang'an City lit up, and before Mu Shijing was amazed by this scene, Lin Shouxi had already taken her straight into the crowd of Wuwuyang.
After penetrating into the crowd, Lin Shouxi's gaze immediately glanced around.
"What are you looking for?" Mu Shijing asked.
As soon as he finished asking, Lin Shouxi turned around, looked directly at the black-robed woman behind him, and said first: "You're here?" β
The black-robed woman's smile froze at the corner of her lips.
"You know I'm coming?"
The black-robed woman took off her hood, revealing the red-haired goddess Si Duxue's face.
"I know what you want to do? We have the same goal, don't stop me. Lin Shouxi was straightforward.
"What are you talking about?" Si Duxue frowned lightly, feeling that he was really inexplicable.
"I know you want to kill the emperor, and I know you can't make up your mind, but it's okay, I can do it for you." Lin Shouxi said.
Si Duxue's face suddenly became cloudy.
Mu Shijing was even more stunned, thinking that even if you are here to kill the emperor, you don't need to say it out loud, the goddess is a loyal courtier at a glance, how can she betray His Majesty the Emperor?
"Emperor Killing? Ridiculous! β
Si Duxue's eyes flashed with a cold light, and she suppressed the panic in her heart in a stern voice: "Your Majesty kindly invited you to participate in her birth ceremony, but you are bent on killing the emperor, you are really a chaotic minister and thief, I advise you to let go of this idea as soon as possible!" In this way, I bought the best viewpoint here, and we ......"
"Is it a green building?" Lin Shouxi asked.
"You...... How do you know? Si Duxue was even more suspicious.
"Trust me once." Lin Shouxi said.
"Why should I trust you?"
Si Duxue was suddenly distracted, she was in a hurry, she lifted her black robe, and waved her claws at Lin Shouxi one after the other.
Lin Shouxi knew that Si Duxue would not be trusted so easily, and at the moment when Si Duxue pounced, he was prepared, and immediately reacted and entangled with Si Duxue.
In terms of realm alone, Lin Shouxi was by no means Si Duxue's opponent, but he was surprised to find that the ability of the Immortal Dao Fruit had not disappeared with his crossingβit was obvious that this time and space was far from solidifying into true history, and the Immortal Dao Fruit was one of the loopholes!
But ironically, this is a lifesaver that Si Duxue has found for him all the way, and now it has become a magic weapon for him to deal with her.
Of course, having the Immortal Dao Fruit alone would only make him invincible at most, far from enough to defeat Si Duxue.
However, in the battle of Guanyin Pavilion, he also had insight into Si Duxue's weakness - tail.
The root of Si Duxue's tail in the center is her biggest weakness, and once she is cried, she will directly lose the power to resist.
Mu Shijing was shocked by this sudden battle, the two sides were dazzled, and it was difficult to distinguish for a while, gradually, after more than 20 moves, Si Duxue had the absolute upper hand, and every move pressed Lin Shouxi to fight.
When it came to the twenty-seventh move, Si Duxue's decisive punch to the forehead was narrowly avoided by Lin Shouxi, Lin Shouxi went around behind her from the side, and a sharp palm knife went straight into her back, but this was a false move, when Si Duxue went to block, Lin Shouxi stepped on the fox tail leaking under her skirt with his foot, reached out and dragged it, his hand brushed the skirt, grabbed the tail root, and tried his best to hold it.
Si Duxue didn't react, only felt a burst of electricity tremble through her body, and she lost her strength in an instant, her knees weakened, and she fell to the ground.
"How do you ...... How do you know this is mine......" Si Duxue's expression was complicated, and her small sandalwood mouth had been bitten by her to vermilion and blood.
"Si Duxue, don't pretend, the emperor has already seen through your mind, and your play is only for you to watch in the final analysis." Lin Shouxi took a deep breath and said, "I can help you kill her, trust me!" β
Si Duxue sat on the ground in humiliation, her pink neck turned slightly, her eyes trembled, although she had all kinds of doubts in her heart, she finally nodded lightly, and then raised her voice: "Where did you learn this evil skill?" I...... Hmph, even if you are lucky enough to plot against me, you won't be able to pass Lin Qiuyi's level! β
Lin Shouxi had already taken Mu Shijing and ran in the direction of the lantern.
"Why are you so good?" Mu Shijing said sincerely.
"Worse than you." Lin Shouxi also said sincerely.
"Hmph, you don't sarcastically mock me." Mu Shijing didn't believe it this time.
Lin Qiuyi was taken aback when he saw them coming, he suddenly appeared in front of Lin Shouxi, stretched out his arm, and prepared to intercept.
"The evil dragon is reincarnated as a human." Lin Shouxi spoke directly.
"Huh?" Lin Qiuyi was stunned.
"There is a dragon vein under Kunlun Mountain!" Lin Shouxi spoke again, categorically.
"Are you talking about this code?" Mu Shijing asked in a low voice.
Lin Qiuyi frowned, as if he was deep in thought.
"What should I do, he doesn't seem to be right, do you want to remind him?" Mu Shijing lowered his voice.
"No, you don't."
Lin Shouxi grabbed her hand directly and ran towards the lantern.
"You know everything?" Lin Qiuyi asked coldly.
"Master has worked hard."
Lin Shouxi responded, he took Mu Shijing's hand and stepped on the lantern together.
But at the moment of stepping on the lantern.
The world is spinning.
A drowsy sleepiness poured down over him, and when he opened his eyes again, he found himself back where he was.
Beside her, the girl in the black dress was resting, and in front of her, the lights and shadows of Chang'an City were longing.
Mu Shijing rubbed his worried eyes and got up, and looked at Lin Shouxi with a little surprise, "Why did you wake up, I, I didn't snooze, I said that I would do my duty, I just closed my eyes and recuperated...... Ahh
Lin Shouxi directly grabbed Mu Shijing's hand and ran towards Chang'an City.
This time, he only used twenty-three moves to defeat Si Duxue, but when he arrived at the lantern, the same scene happened again, as soon as he approached the lantern, he felt dizzy, and when he woke up, all his previous efforts were lost, and he returned to the same place.
After several attempts like this, Lin Shouxi never got a way to crack it, and he was at a stalemate for a while.
But he didn't give up, he knew that he couldn't get to the lantern precisely because it was the most important place.
He's going to get there anyway!
In the blink of an eye, he had tried thirteen times.
He woke up faster and faster.
When he woke up this time, Mu Shijing was still dreaming: "Hmph...... Miss Ben is so powerful, see which of you dares to ...... Bullied me ......"
When Lin Shouxi heard this, he shook his head helplessly, grabbed her arm, and carried her on his back.
Halfway through, Mu Shijing woke up.
"Hmm...... What's wrong? She asked.
In the past ten times, Lin Shouxi has not explained the ins and outs of the matter to her, but Mu Shijing just didn't believe it, and even said: "You said that you traveled back from the future?" Well, I'm not unconvinced, it's just ...... The next time you wear it, can you bring your brain with you? β
After a few times, Lin Shouxi didn't bother to explain to her, and when she asked again this time, he just said:
"After three and a half breaths, we will meet Si Duxue, she is wearing a black robe, inside the robe is an off-the-shoulder butterfly robe, after I say a few words to her, she will fight me, her first move is a claw blow with her fingers, then a change of trick to dig out her heart, and then a whip like a leaf swept by the wind...... Well, I'll beat her on the fifth move. β
"Are you crazy or am I not awake?" Mu Shijing pinched his cheek and said, "I was derelict in my duties, you can punish me, but don't scare me, okay?" β
"To bet or not?" Lin Shouxi asked.
"Bet on what?" Mu Shijing was disdainful: "You want to bluff me with this little trick?" There are no doors! β
"Well, whoever loses is stupid." Lin Shouxi said.
"Stupid...... Hey, what do you mean, teasing children? Mu Shijing was annoyed.
"Shhhh Lin Shouxi said softly.
In the next process, Mu Shijing's eyes widened, and he didn't dare to blink more.
She watched everything that Lin Shouxi predicted happen, and sure enough, at the time of the fifth move, Lin Shouxi suddenly launched a dazzling but domineering move, Si Duxue was caught off guard, and was grabbed by the tail and pressed to the ground, soft and unable to move.
"This ......"
Mu Shijing pinched his arm, incredulous.
"Why did you ...... so fast," Mu Shijing couldn't help but ask.
"The third move is not perfect enough, and it can be mentioned, and the next time you beat her, it only takes four and a half moves." Lin Shouxi said with a glance.
ββ¦β¦β
Mu Shijing was speechless, immediately closed his eyes, and said, "I didn't see anything, this time it doesn't count!" β
Lin Shouxi walked up to her and stretched out his hand.
"What are you going to do?" Mu Shijing took half a step back.
Lin Shouxi didn't care about her, only stretched out his finger and swiped it on the bridge of her nose, and smiled helplessly: "Stupid." β
Mu Shijing froze in place, touched the tip of his nose, and looked in a trance.
Sure enough, the next time, Lin Shouxi successfully fulfilled his promise and subdued Si Duxue in only four moves.
This is when things took a turn for the better.
After the defeat, Si Duxue knelt on the ground, covered her forehead, and asked with a little pain, "...... Have you been in a lot of fights? β
At this moment, Lin Shouxi, who was already numb, lit up in his heart.
This shows that the influence of the Empress Pillar of Time is no longer strong, and it has begun to grow, weaken, and waver.
His stubborn attempt not to hit the south wall and not to look back really shook the empress's space-time magic skills!
"The next time you defeat you, you only need three moves, if there is a next time." Lin Shouxi smiled at Si Duxue and said, "Thank you Miss Si for the gift of Dao Fruit." β
Si Duxue looked dazed.
This time, when Lin Shouxi took Mu Shijing to rush into the lotus giant lantern again, although the sleepiness hit, it was far less heavy than in the past, he bit the tip of his tongue and rushed in with an arrow.
It's like a headlong rush out of the dark waters.
The light fell on the cheeks.
Lin Shouxi saw a scene he hadn't seen when he first came to Chang'an!
In the giant lotus lamp, there was a crystal core of flame condensation, the core was burning, and the naked empress was frozen in it, not yet awakened, but her voice had already come out through the embryo: "It's really annoying. β
The moment he saw the empress, Mu Shijing's face also turned cold in an instant.
Endless memories come back to my mind.
The girl's black dress fluttered, and her pupils returned to pale.
"Only when you see me do you remember who you are...... I didn't expect your hatred for me to be so deep in my bones. The empress also felt sarcastic, and she said in an emotionless voice: "If you kill me, will you also die, after all, forgetting is also a kind of death." β
"It doesn't matter, even if I die, at least Mu Shijing is still alive." The girl in the black dress said, "If she lives, I live." β
At the beginning, Si Duyan also said similar things to Si Duxue.
The Empress was silent.
In the shadow of the longing lights, her face looked confused.
"And who the hell are you?" The Empress asked.
The girl in the black dress didn't answer, only drew her sword slowly with Lin Shouxi, and the death certificate was unsheathed at the same time as the Zhan Palace, and the swords were photographed, and the crystal core was as fine as a hair in the cold light.
"I'm not going to die." The Empress repeated it again.
When the words fell, a strong wind swept through Chang'an City.
Lin Shouxi and Mu Shijing raised their heads at the same time.
They saw countless lanterns rising into the sky, mighty and mighty, like sparks burning through the night sky.
These lanterns are lit not by fire, but by time.
As the lantern rose into the sky, a new time and space was constructed, and Lin Shouxi and Mu Shijing were in the center of the lantern, and they were instantly included.
It's a long river of time.
In the long river, Lin Shouxi saw the infinite possibilities of time.
He saw him travel through the flow of time, back to the palace house three hundred years ago, hugging and crying with the young Xiaoyu. He ran away from the earth with the girl in his arms, avoiding the attack of the king of the blue sky, after a hundred years of hardships and hardships, and after life and death depended on each other, they built the avenue and became the first and the head of the god guard mountain respectively.
The fairy couple, Suyun and White Crane, enter and exit all day long, happy and tireless.
He saw that he and Mu Shijing were married in his childhood, and at the age of fourteen, he officially made peace, at first Mu Shijing behaved extremely well-behaved, like a lady who had been well-educated since childhood, and after three full days, she gradually exposed the nature of the demon girl, and ran around with Lin Shouxi all day long, and the senior brothers and sisters saw it, and they all sighed, and said: "The disciples who closed the door let the descendants of the Taoist sect close the door and beat the dogs all day long, this is ...... What kind of system? β
The other senior brothers and sisters were also angry, and Senior Sister Su asked, "Then who is going to teach this little daughter-in-law of the Daomen a lesson and give her prestige?" β
The senior brothers and sisters looked at each other and shook their heads one after another, saying that it was difficult for the Qing officials to cut off family affairs, and the little junior brothers might enjoy it.
He saw that at the end of the Wu family, he was not separated from Xiao He, if he became a chivalrous couple, he killed demons and demons in the wilderness, devoted himself to cultivating, traveled far away with swords during the day, and was tender and sweet in the night, Chu Yingchan and their grievances in the Wu family were unresolved, and they often came to the wilderness to chase and kill, and the end was self-evident, but in the end, there was really a fairy in a white dress and a cold face among the heroes who slay demons and eliminate demons.
He saw the Seven Priestesses being devoured by the Sword of the Ring of Sin, and it was terrible to see.
saw that Lin Qiuyi failed to swallow the reincarnation Dao fruit and died violently in the polar region.
saw that the fox ancestor was in trouble in the world, and before he could escape, he was brutally killed and nailed to the bottom of the peak.
See......
Countless scenes came one after another, if it was in the past, Lin Shouxi would definitely be blank in the sea and his mood was swaying, but today, he was already ready.
Those scenes, whether beautiful or cruel, are fake, and he can watch and admire them, but he must not be nostalgic.
Lin Shouxi recited the scriptures in his heart.
One thought of the beauty is gone, the second thought of the city tower is gone, three years of heaven and earth retreat, between the dark and misty heaven and earth, in the blink of an eye, there is only one person and one sword left.
The boy hangs alone with the famous sword.
In the lantern at this moment, Lin Shouxi, Mu Shijing, and the empress all closed their eyes, they were all trapped in their own predicament, and similarly, they were also competing to see who would wake up first!
Moment.
All three opened their eyes at the same time.
There was a loud bang.
The lanterns in the sky exploded at the same time.
Endless rays of light floated down from the sky, like the corpses of fireflies sprinkled in the ocean.
No matter how complicated and magnificent this pillar of time is, its end point will always be this city, this Chang'an City, where the dragon's energy in the world is the most prosperous, and only here can the empress be reborn.
Lin Shouxi and Mu Shijing swung their swords at the same time and slashed at her.
For some reason, their realm is obviously not high, but the combined sword of sincerity gives people the illusion that it can kill everything.
"It's too late."
The empress stared at Mu Shijing and said slowly: "Have you forgotten how I killed you a thousand years ago?" β
Mu Shijing's expression moved slightly.
This was one of the blind spots in her memory.
However, at this moment, when the empress woke up, the memory resurfaced.
- Monster, it was a monster that had never been seen before, it was born like an evil god, but it was very different from the evil god, and in the same way, it exuded a power that did not belong to this world, which made her feel a chill at that time.
"What's that?" Mu Shijing blurted out.
It was as if the strongest spear had collided with the strongest shield, and the incomparable sword light was locked in the air.
Locking the sword were two thin rays of light like dragonfly wings.
Behind the empress, tentacle-like things grew again, there were seven tentacles, different from ordinary tentacles, these things were not sticky and foul-smelling, but very beautiful, they were like translucent amber, and there was a dreamy starlight in them.
"It's my nightmare, but it's also my chance."
The empress's glazed pupils were once again faint.
It was a memory of her escape into outer space.
On a star, she found a suitable lake for sleep, and wanted to sleep in it, but she didn't expect that this ancient lake full of star sand had already had an owner, and a monster not inferior to the three evil gods was hidden deep in it, waiting for an opportunity to attack her.
In that dark lake, they fought a battle.
The war lasted millions of years, and for millions of years, they endured unimaginable pain to the gods.
The Yellow King finally won a tragic victory and became the new king of the ancient lake, and in the lonely universe, she had no one to share glory and joy, and all she had to face was this cold corpse all day long.
She didn't destroy this precious corpse, because she realized that if she wanted to return to her homeland, avoid the sword of the Zhu clan, and avoid the origin, then this unique corpse in the world would be the best container for her to be reborn. This is what she calls the 'way'.
Once successful, she becomes her own origin.
Only the unique origin is the real emperor.
The Empress in Yellow raised her hands in the night sky as the sparks fell.
Meantime.
Another world.
In the Holy Soil Temple, the deepest part of the Evil Spring Prison, a corpse that had dried up for an unknown amount of time began to squirm again.
