Chu Qingxiao's hand holding the codex was trembling.

His hand slowly drooped, and the Codex fell from his hand and fell to the ground.

He shook his head and kept saying, "This...... It's not really ......"

"It's not true......"

The expression on his face was almost on the verge of collapse, his eyes looked at everyone, but his steps kept retreating, as if he was trying to escape something.

"You're a smart person, in fact, you noticed the clue a long time ago, but you didn't want to think about it......" Zhu Yuan's voice sounded at this time.

These words seemed to remind Chu Qingxiao, and Chu Qingxiao's body trembled.

Zhu Yuan was right.

In fact, everything has already been foreshadowed.

Chu Zhaozhao was just a disciple of the Three Realms, how could Tianhang Mountain send such a disciple with low cultivation to Wuling City alone, which was besieged by Candle Yin?

Obviously, in the eyes of Tianhang Mountain, there is no danger in Wuling City today......

Or rather, there is no living creature left.

The silver she had delivered from the liquor shop was of full color, but it was stamped with a name like the twelve years of Chongsheng that he had never heard before, but how could that foolish thief use the silver to make counterfeit money?

Even since the eleventh year of Qingyuan, Da Yu changed his year name, and now a full twelve years have passed since the time in his memory......

Twelve years is enough time for a child to grow into a strong man, and enough for a girl who is just beginning to fall in love into a wife and mother......

But in the twelfth year, the people in Wuling City are still the same.

They......

It is a group of wandering spirits who have been forgotten by Dayu and time, trapped in the endless winter of this Wuling City......

As he figured out all this, the door that had been claustrophobic in Chu Qingxiao's mind also opened suddenly.

All the memories came flooding through his mind at this moment.

He remembered the old Taoist priest, the old man who was a little withdrawn in the Xuandu Temple, he liked to mess with the peach forest in his view, and he also liked to sit alone in the peach forest in a daze.

Chu Qingxiao was caught by him when he took Zhao Nianshuang into the peach forest and stole peaches.

But the old man just smiled and said: "Baby, don't fall when you climb up and down, if you want to eat peaches, come to me, and I'll help you pick them." ”

He is like that, taciturn, but gentle as jade.

He also remembered the struggle of the people in the city every day during the siege of Wuling City for half a year, and the despair of every time someone died.

Without reinforcements, there is no future.

There is only anger again and again, and powerlessness again and again.

He also remembered the time when the city was broken, when the Yin beasts were in full swing, destroying everything they could destroy, tearing apart everyone they saw.

Whether it's an old man or a baby waiting to be fed.

None were spared.

The last of the last.

In the process of the old Taoist priest's struggle with the candle yin, he stole the candle yin divine blood, and then, when he was forced into a desperate situation, his heart was crossed, and he swallowed the candle yin divine blood in one gulp.

The memory came to an abrupt end at this time, and what followed was the illusion of the peaceful and prosperous world of Wuling City......

Chu Qingxiao, who remembered everything, knelt on the ground dejectedly.

Seeing this, Chu Zhaozhao beside him stepped forward and said, "Qingxiao, don't be like this, things are really bad, but ......"

"But you already knew the truth! Is that right? Hearing this, Chu Qingxiao looked back at Chu Zhaozhao.

At that time, the young man's eyes no longer had the kindness of the past, and his gaze became fierce, angry, and strange.

Chu Zhaozhao's body trembled when he heard this, and when the words came to his mouth, he stopped abruptly, not knowing how to answer.

"Of course she knows the truth, but how could she tell you?" Zhu Yuan's voice sounded on the side.

"She wants to leave here, and only you can help her, she has to use you, let you help her destroy everything you have, to achieve her own goals, selfishness, self-interest, this is the root of human inferiority, it is ordinary!"

Zhu Yuan's ridicule made Chu Zhaozhao's face ugly, but he didn't know how to refute it.

Chu Qingxiao also had a gloomy face and was silent.

This situation made everyone around him a little strange.

"No, little bunny, what the hell are you talking about? Why are you still talking to this old bastard of candlesticks? Chu Yueshan asked with a frown.

"Yes! What kind of calf are you talking to him, didn't he say that you can absorb some divine power, and then he will be finished? You absorb it, what's the matter, wait until you kill him! Wang Dagui also hurriedly agreed.

Everyone looked at Chu Qingxiao anxiously at this time, but the young man lowered his head, as if he was deliberately avoiding everyone's gaze.

And just when they couldn't figure it out, Wang Che on the side suddenly changed his face, as if he thought of something, he glanced at Chu Qingxiao, and swallowed a mouthful of saliva in his throat.

Only then did he muster up the courage to look at Chu Qingxiao and asked in a trembling voice, "...... Aren't they all dead......

As soon as this question came out, everyone present looked strange.

"What nonsense, don't we live well?" Wang Dagui came back to his senses and scolded angrily.

The surrounding people were also in an uproar, and they all sneered at what Wang Che said.

But after this uproar lasted for less than ten breaths, it became dead......

Wang Che didn't seem to hear everyone's reprimands, but just stared at Chu Qingxiao and didn't say a word.

This attitude made everyone notice something unusual, and they also inexplicably panicked in their hearts, and they all looked at Chu Qingxiao at this time.

Facing everyone's anxious and panicked eyes, Chu Qingxiao lowered his head in a panic.

"I ......"

"I ......"

He opened his mouth several times to say something, but his voice was muffled by the unpressable crying in his throat.

Chu Yueshan's son, who knew him very well, saw his appearance, his heart chuckled, and he hurriedly asked, "Little rabbit cub, don't scare your father!" What the hell is going on!? ”

"I'll help him." Zhu Yuan walked up to Chu Qingxiao very intimately at this time, looked at everyone, and the corners of his mouth rose.

He seemed to be intent on enjoying the fear that was spreading in everyone's hearts at this moment, and after a long time, he said, "You are indeed dead. ”

"Twelve years ago, he was dead."

"It is the candle shade that has given you the right to live in the realm of eternal night."

"How is that possible!! You don't have a fucking fart here! Chu Yueshan scolded loudly.

"Nonsense! We are clearly living a good life! ”

"yes, he's alarmist!" The crowd followed suit, erupting in a cacophony of angry shouts.

And for these, Zhu Yuan's performance has always been calm.

He just stood there quietly, waiting for the crowd to vent their fears in an angry way, and then after they had quieted down.

He said again: "It's reasonable that you don't believe me, but you can ask this Chu girl." ”

Hearing this, everyone turned their attention to Chu Zhaozhao.

Facing everyone's gaze, Chu Zhaozhao also subconsciously lowered his head, grabbed the corners of his clothes with both hands, and couldn't spit out a word for a long time, and this reaction made everyone's faces suddenly pale.

"Miss Chu, you say something, I haven't seen the scene of my old Chu Sa, don't be afraid, you say ......" Chu Yueshan said with a dry smile, but this time, the voice that came out of his mouth was a little dry, and the words were halfway through, and the trembling upper and lower lips made his tone a little deformed, and in the end, he was so choked that he couldn't speak.

The crowd grew more and more flustered.

And at this moment, Song Guicheng suddenly stood up, with a smile on his face, and shouted to Chu Qingxiao.

"Stinky boy, are you stupid!"

"We're all dead, so what are you afraid of?"

"Isn't it what you should do to absorb the divine power left to you by the old Taoist, seal the divine blood, and avenge us!"

Song Guicheng's words undoubtedly confirmed what Zhu Yuan said.

Everyone present suddenly felt that the sky was spinning, and one by one they sat on the ground.

"How...... How is it possible, I went to fortune telling the day before yesterday, and the gentleman said that he would live to ninety-eight ......"

"No way, they must be lying to us, they are lying to us."

The crowd began to panic and began to try to deny the fact that they had believed most of the truth with all kinds of evidence that they thought were strong enough.

Chu Qingxiao also raised his head when he heard this, he looked at Song Guicheng, and at that moment, there seemed to be a touch of brilliance in his eyes.

"I forgot to introduce you." Zhu Yuan suddenly said at this time.

"The place we are now is called the Realm of Eternal Night."

"You can think of it as a space that is the same as the real world, but in a different dimension."

"This is a small world for my god, where souls can live with the living."

"This is the resting place that my God has created for the souls of the dead."

"But what you also know is that thousands of years ago, we were banished to the Black Abyss by your ancestors."

"The thrones of the gods have long since changed hands, probably out of fear of us, your ancestral gods have already engraved some rules in the heavens and the earth against us ancient relics."

"And these rules may bring you some trouble." Zhu Yuan said this, his eyes fell on Chu Qingxiao with the news.

"You souls have been in the realm of eternal night for too long, and your souls have long been tainted with the breath of candlelight, which is not tolerated in your world, and once the realm of eternal night is broken, you will appear in this world......"

"Guess what's going to happen?" Zhu Yuan asked, his eyes turned and looked at everyone with a smile.

Frightened to the point where did everyone have the heart to respond to Zhu Yuan's question, their faces were already covered with horror, and they sat on the ground.

Zhu Yuan didn't care, he narrowed his eyes, and the smile on his face became even brighter.

"A soul without physical protection is as fragile as glass."

"It's just an instant, your souls will be strangled by the great power of heaven and earth, and your souls will be scattered, and there will be nothing left."
