Shang Luo quietly left this matter, and he didn't know until Lu Hanjiang put down the rebellion in the north and returned to the capital, and there was even an unexpected helper in this matter, that is, Old Man Meng.

As a real prince bloodline, Shang Luo left the capital so easily, which Lu Hanjiang couldn't understand, according to the old man's habit, he shouldn't have seen the other party's corpse directly at this time, right.

He has no chance to know the reason for this, and the old man will not say unless he goes to find the girl himself.

Looking at the lamp left by the other party, Lu Hanjiang's thoughts inevitably drifted back to the time in Miaojiang, speaking of which, the use of this strange lamp seemed to have been figured out by Shang Luo.

But the girl was so stingy, she was always reluctant to say it, and this time although she left the lamp, she still didn't leave the corresponding way to use it.

Lu Hanjiang gently played with this lamp, and the faint light was lit up with a wonderful feeling that made people trance, and the taste of light fluttering was as if he was in the clouds.

Lu Hanjiang looked at the light steadily, and at that moment, it seemed that everything around him had lost its temperature and fell into boundless darkness, only this dark lamp faintly illuminated the square inch in front of him.

Tick –

There was the sound of water droplets dripping in his ears, Lu Hanjiang's distracted gaze refocused, he followed the sound and looked at his feet, red blood beads dripped from the edge of the lamp drop by drop, turning into a pool of blood under his feet.

Lu Hanjiang blinked slightly, and the moment he got up, the throne under him was slowly engulfed by the darkness and disappeared, he looked up and saw that he had returned to the main hall of the East Palace that day.

"Dreams?" Lu Hanjiang muttered.

"It's a little bit inaccurate, if there is no boundary between dreams and reality, then either side is reality for you."

A familiar voice sounded behind Lu Hanjiang, it was a person who was absolutely impossible to appear in front of him again, the crown princess - Huangfu Ling'er.

The crown princess stood there gracefully, as in the past, dressed in gorgeous palace clothes, with an elegant but false smile on her face, and everything was no different from what she remembered.

Lu Hanjiang turned around and looked at the other party with a strange expression, and after a moment of silence, he closed his eyes and gently pinched the bridge of his nose, and then sighed: "You are really ghostly." ”

The crown princess's ambiguous laughter sounded in Lu Hanjiang's ears, and when he opened his eyes again, there was an extra sword wound on the other party's lower abdomen, and the palace clothes were covered with blood.

Lu Hanjiang saw it in his eyes, and after being silent for a long time, he said: "It's a pity that the abbot of Lingxu is dead, otherwise he must come here to recite the scriptures for you, so as to save yourself from being lonely below, and have nothing to do with the old people who come to find bad luck." ”

"Hehe," the crown princess chuckled and shook her head, "Are you like this, you know everything, but you still have to say something stupid to make people feel stupid." ”

"Liven up the atmosphere, you may not care if you're dead, but I'm alive and well, if you have a few dead people in your dreams every day, will you still be in a good mood to deal with them?"

Lu Hanjiang pursed his lips, then bent down and picked up the strange lamp that was shining with strange lights: "It's this thing, isn't it because of the Shengli flowers in the Valley of Death." ”

"Not bad."

The crown princess bowed slightly, raised her hand and waved lightly, and the strange lamp suddenly turned into a pile of sand, seeping through Lu Hanjiang's fingertips and flowing into the boundless darkness under her feet.

Lu Hanjiang shook off the remaining quicksand in his hand, and then looked left and right, the main hall of the East Palace became extremely dilapidated in the blink of an eye, and the originally gorgeous palace suddenly seemed to have withstood a hundred years of wind and frost, and in an instant, it turned into a broken brick and tile.

The once bright space gradually became dim, and the broken lights turned into twisted rock walls, decorating the palace like a cave.

This is also the place where Lu Hanjiang once been, and it is the cave that has been closed for thousands of years where Xu Fu's treasure is buried.

Lu Hanjiang looked up, and the top of the cave seemed to be able to see the lights shining with strange light, and everything was no different from his memory.

He looked down at his hands, and then curious, "Something doesn't seem right." ”

"What's wrong?" When the crown princess spoke again, her appearance suddenly changed, as if she had been molded in clay, and another face appeared in the distortion, which was Cai Wei.

With the face of the Holy Maiden of Miaojiang, but her voice was still that of the crown princess, such a strange scene made Lu Hanjiang couldn't help but be happy: "This is really interesting, it turns out that what they saw at the beginning is such a thing?" ”

By now, there was nothing he didn't understand, Lu Hanjiang's mind was far superior to others, even if it was a dream that could be fake, he still realized at a glance that this was not reality.

But this is also the saddest part, he can't sink into the illusion of reality like other people affected by this strange lamp, he doesn't fit in here.

But there was still one thing he was curious about: "Why does it affect me?" ”

Lu Hanjiang raised it and shook it emptyly, and the disappeared lamp appeared in his hand again, which made "Cai Wei" very surprised.

Although the illusion of the ghost lantern is very real, the essence is still like a dream, a world built by one's own memory and spirit, so as long as the mind is strong enough, it can do whatever it wants in this dream.

Lighting the disappeared lamp again, Lu Hanjiang held the lamp and asked curiously: "Last time I clearly remembered that it was just a lighting tool for me, why can it have such a strange effect on me this time?" ”

Cai Wei's face changed again, this time it became Shang Luo's appearance, cute with a bit of mischievous cunning, just heard her say: "Except for the heirs of the seven bloodlines, the Nether Lantern can affect everyone in this world, no matter how high your martial arts are, you can't avoid vulgarity." ”

Lu Hanjiang glanced up at it, only to see "Shang Luo" bending his crescent-like eyebrows, and said quite proudly: "The reason why it was useless to you when Miao Jiang was because you were not from this world, and the ghost lamp could not pull you, a person from outside the world, into a dream, but now-"

With a playful chuckle, it changed its appearance again, this time it became the appearance of Huangfu Xiaoyuan, who was seven points similar to the crown princess, and said with the same solemn face: "You are no longer a person outside the world." ”

"Oh?" Lu Hanjiang raised his eyebrows, thoughtfully, he didn't try to understand these mysterious words, he held his hand tightly, and after a crisp cracking sound, the ghost lamp shattered into fragments.

It's just that after the lights went out, the cave was still towering, and Lu Hanjiang tilted his head and said, "It seems that you can't leave if you destroy this thing." ”

"Isn't this a matter of course," it once again changed back to the appearance of the crown princess, holding the ghost lamp in her hand, and slowly walked to Lu Hanjiang's side and said: "After all, it is the last means left by that child, if it is so easily cracked by you, wouldn't it be too disappointing." ”

"Oh?" Lu Hanjiang said with interest: "Could it be that the girl did it on purpose?" ”

"Shouldn't it?"

"Crown Princess" chuckled and said: "If it weren't for Jinyiwei's intervention, how could the Huangfu family force Li Guishou to die, you killed her adoptive father, wouldn't it be rightful for her to hate you?" Or do you really think she can let go of all this, just like Huangfu Xiaoyuan? ”

Lu Hanjiang narrowed his eyes: "So, that highness was still lying until the end, and Shang Luo's girl had actually met her a long time ago?" ”

"Perhaps," the "Crown Princess" shook her head helplessly: "The illusions created by the ghost lamp are all based on people's original memories, so it is impossible for me to know what you don't know." ”

"That's a pity."

Lu Hanjiang sighed, then slowly turned around, from just now, he had always noticed that there was a strange aura behind him that was approaching, and sure enough, a dark sand shadow was like a mold filled with molten iron, slowly forming with the passage of time.

"Although there have been some accidents, you are the closest person to this path in thousands of years, and there is one thing that I still have to remind you."

"The Crown Princess" said in a down-to-earth manner: "The illusion created by the ghost lamp is not an ordinary dream, everything here comes from your memory, even the sporadic flaws will be infinitely magnified here, if you practice martial arts, it is the inner demon." ”

The voice fell, and when Lu Hanjiang saw the true face of the black shadow, he couldn't help but complain: "Hey, this shouldn't be your intention, if you say that you change someone else, he can also be regarded as my inner demon?" ”

The "Crown Princess" smiled, but said lightly: "The illusions that the ghost lamp can show come from yourself, but as I said, this place is not an ordinary dream or fantasy, if you can't get out, you can only stay forever. After all, this is the ladder to immortality, and you are no longer a person outside the world, no longer special than others."

Phew!

A slight sound of breaking the air sounded, and a large hole suddenly appeared in the chest of the "crown princess", and the next moment her body turned into mud and sand and was swallowed by the darkness.

A stone was tossed up and down in Lu Hanjiang's hand, and he slowly turned his head back, looking at the person in front of him with a straight face.

It was a son wearing a dark robe and holding a long sword, and when he first appeared, he was a noble son of Yushu Linfeng, but unfortunately in the blink of an eye, he became a crazy person with a cloak and a bloody body.

This person is the son of Chi Yiming, the seventh son of Wudang "Taiwu", Chi Cangping.

"The moon is away from the wind! You killed my father, and I was rejected by my teacher and chased by the righteous way! It's all you! Why don't they believe me! Why! ”

Chi Cangping shouted unwillingly, his anger seemed to turn into substance, and a series of demonic shadows with teeth and claws climbed on his shoulders, like wings, and like twisted white bones.

"Brother Chi, that's not right."

Lu Hanjiang spread his hands and said: "When we went to Wuyue to do things together, you also agreed, why did you turn your face and deny people, your father's death, you at least seventy percent of the responsibility, and there are three achievements that are barely counted on your master's head, his old man's martial arts are world-famous but watching your father die, I am also very helpless." ”

"Chi Cangping" looked stunned, and then said angrily: "You fart!" ”

Lu Hanjiang was stunned for a moment, and then said speechlessly to the boundless darkness behind him: "Hey, it's really fake, is my inner demon so personal?" Why do I feel as if he can understand my yin and yang? ”

There were bursts of chuckles in the darkness, and the tumbling black fog seemed to feel happy, only to hear the voice of the "crown princess" sound again-

"Don't be surprised, the ghost lamp is a heavenly wonder, the illusion it creates is completely different from the ordinary dream, one person and one thing here, all are extraordinary, and the reality of the thing is only a line away, the red dust is bright, a hundred years of fingers, how many people are lost here and have experienced a lifetime and don't know, you have to be careful."

Lu Hanjiang thought for a moment, and when the words of "Crown Princess" fell, "Chi Cangping" was already roaring with a sword, but as soon as he stepped out, his head disappeared, and his headless body froze in place, and after a while, it turned into mud and sand and returned to darkness.

Lu Hanjiang bent down, fished out a few more stones from the darkness that submerged his heels, and when he got up, he only heard the sound of a dragon moaning in the distance.

Looking up, the two golden dragons that I suddenly saw rushed into the sky, accompanied by the earth-shaking might, the heroic man with a resolute face and the old man who was full of alcohol attacked him left and right.

"Boy! You have caused my beggar gang to be ruined, I don't have to say anything today, take the old man's palm first! Liang Benlang, the old leader of the beggar gang, said, with a palm of remorse, and even the four walls of the entire cave became cheerful and bright under his palm.

Lu Hanjiang squinted, and he seemed to be able to see emerald leaves flying in the air, the scorching sun hanging overhead, and the fragrance of raw flowers seemed to be smelled in the air of the Dead Valley.

"Lu Seventeen! It was you who killed Bauhinia! He also killed Linglong! Today I want you to pay for your life! Yan Fengyun, the deputy leader of the beggar gang, shouted, and the golden dragon in his palm let out a long roar, dyed with the crimson power of hatred.

Lu Hanjiang pouted and said: "Xuehua Palace is a disaster for the martial arts, but the demon in your mouth, this son does the way for the sky, you don't appreciate it, you actually beat a rake, take 10,000 steps back and say-Gu Zijing committed suicide, didn't Linglong die because you didn't save it?" ”

"I'll kill you!" Yan Fengyun's eyes were red, and he slapped his palm angrily.

Seeing this, Lu Hanjiang turned his palm into a claw, and the dragon capture skill instantly became powerful, Yan Fengyun and the red dragon he played turned into a marionette in Lu Hanjiang's hand, and suddenly turned in a direction in the air, and collided with Liang Benlang.

The two dragon palms slapped together, after all, Yan Fengyun was half weaker, he was beaten so that blood sprayed out wildly, and he stared at a pair of hateful eyes: "I'm going to kill——"

Poof!

Lu Hanjiang clenched his palm, and the emerald giant claws condensed by the dragon capture skill instantly crushed Yan Fengyun, and the blood rain splashed and scattered, but it soon turned into gray mud and dust, blending into the boundless darkness.

On the other side, the golden dragon under Liang Benlang's palm also dissipated with a mournful roar.

It's just that the old gang leader has strong martial arts, and he stabilized his body again in an instant, he remobilized his true qi, a ragged shirt made a hula sound, and a palm shot out of the afterimage in the air, the dragon's groan ran through the sky, and in the blink of an eye, eighteen afterimages turned into one, the golden dragon went out against the current, the sky and the earth were discolored, and the thunderbolt dragon roared deafeningly.

"Boy! Pick up—"

"Not available."

Lu Hanjiang rolled his eyes, his right hand was weakly grasped, and the mud and sand under his feet were like a hundred rivers entering the sea, merging into his palm, turning into a plausible long sword.

"What?" Liang Benlang was taken aback, he raised his head, and watched as the long whip of mud and sand turned into chains, breaking the neck of the golden dragon under his palm, and turning it into a rain of golden light in the sky.

The old gang leader spurted out a mouthful of blood from the sky, and his body fell backwards into the mud and dust, becoming one with the darkness.

Only then did he solve the two masters of the beggar gang, Lu Hanjiang's eyes blinked, and the flying flowers and fallen leaves and the secluded deep valley all disappeared, replaced by a ruined wall.

The dilapidated courtyard gave people a sense of déjà vu, and between Lu Hanjiang's thoughts, a silver light flashed, and the deadly silver hook was killed in the next second.

"Thief, take your life!" Dongfang Kite fell from the sky with a silver hook in his hand, and a pair of murderous eyes stared at Lu Hanjiang.

"Oriental girl, I haven't seen you for a long time, you look good."

Lu Hanjiang flicked his fingers and broke one of the silver hooks in response, and then pinched his two fingers and stabilized the other silver hook at his fingertips: "It's rare to see each other today, aren't you going to thank me?" ”

"Thief, what are you talking nonsense!" Dongfang Kite struggled for a while, found that the silver hook did not move, gritted his teeth and abandoned the blade, and slapped it instead.

"Of course, thank you for letting you be a ghost," Lu Hanjiang's fingertips forced, and the silver hook immediately broke into several pieces, and the fragments that collapsed turned into a sharp light, and slashed across the swan-like neck in an instant.

The Oriental Kite fell unwillingly, and at this moment another figure flashed out, the footsteps were chaotic and treacherous, and the ups and downs made people unable to see the figure clearly.

"Lu Hanjiang, today I will ask you to atone for the sins of the dead of my Oriental family!"

Dongfang Huang stepped on his feet, and the body of the nine heavens seemed to have transformed into three human forms in an instant, which was wonderful and weird, making it impossible to distinguish the real from the fake.

Lu Hanjiang sneered, and lifted his legs and feet to pull back a few grains of sand, the stones were as small as dust, but when they fell in front of Dongfang Huang, they had already become a meteor.

No matter how high Dongfang Huang's light skills are, no matter how many figures he transforms, meteors fly by, which makes him burst into a blood mist in the sky in an instant, and he has not even left a complete sentence.

"Your whole family was killed by your own blindness, what does it have to do with me."

Lu Hanjiang said angrily, then lowered his head to look again, the strange black mist had already submerged half of his calf, like a rising tide.

This inconspicuous scene made Lu Hanjiang care slightly, until another figure appeared, interrupting his contemplation.

Seeing a palm force coming from his face, Lu Hanjiang flashed sideways, and when he looked up, he saw a group of two people, it was Xi Qiu, a disciple of the Xiaoyao Sect, and his old friend, Qiao Shifang, a former Qianhu Qiao Shifang.

Xi Qiu never spoke, as silent as in his memory, but the palm in his hand was merciless, and when he saw that he missed, he slapped it again.

And Qiao Shifang sneered and drew his sword to kill: "Rebels and thieves, everyone will be punished." ”

Lu Hanjiang stepped on Ling Bo's slight steps, easily dodging the mighty and awe-inspiring swordsmanship, and said playfully: "Oh? Who do the rebels and thieves scold? ”

"The rebels and thieves scolded you." When the words fell, Qiao Shifang swordsmanship was stunned, and he said with a shy expression: "Guy with sharp teeth and sharp mouth!" ”

Lu Hanjiang laughed, his left hand turned into a palm, and Bai Hong's palm power instantly caused the two of them to vomit blood and retreat, and it only took a moment to turn into flying ashes and melt into the boundless darkness.

At the place where the two fell, two more shadows slowly emerged, one of them was full of anger, pointed at Lu Hanjiang and scolded: "You pretended to be my master and disciple and killed me!" Ruined my carefree faction for many years! I want you to pay for it today! ”

This person is Shuo Xuan, and beside him, there is another person, dressed in a Taoist robe, holding a divine weapon, at first glance in a trance Immortal Wind Dao Bone, but unfortunately the other party's face is covered with a layer of fog, and he can't see his appearance clearly.

But Lu Hanjiang knew that this person should be his cheap master who had never met before, the Phantom of the Phantom Lamp, who could only reproduce the things in his memory, and he had never seen the North Underworld, so he couldn't see the other party's appearance clearly in this illusion.

After Shuo Xuan finished scolding, the master and apprentice killed back and forth, Lu Hanjiang bullied sideways, slashed his hand to seize the heavenly machine, and then swept the horizontal sword, and the two of them suddenly stagnated, accompanied by a blood flower falling, and fell into the black mist at the bottom of their feet.

As soon as the two of them fell, the heavenly machine in Lu Hanjiang's hand slowly lost its luster, and finally turned into a pinch of dust and passed between his fingers.

This sword disappeared, and another sword attacked, Lu Hanjiang felt the movement of the wind, the black fog under his feet turned into a flowing cloud on the horizon, and the low mountains in the distance were intertwined, and he looked back and saw that he had reached the top of Huashan.

The head of Wuyue surrounded himself, Tianfeng and Shang Dao took the lead in killing, Tianfeng threw his sword out, only to see a hanging phantom blade above his head flying fiercely, slashing towards himself, Shang Dao tore the wind with a sword, and thirteen lights and shadows flickered.

Lu Hanjiang raised his hand, and his true qi was like a turbulent wave, enveloping all the wind and waves on the top of the mountain, like a wall of wind, blocking the sword light and sword shadow outside.

"The disaster of the rivers and lakes is you, if I don't kill you today, how can I correct the name of my five mountains!" Tianfeng shouted.

"Let's do it together!" Shi Jiuning said.

The head of the five mountains took out the sword together, and for a while, the golden snake was scurrying, and the sword light was like a thunderbolt, shining on the top of this cloud mountain as if lightning and thunder, Lu Hanjiang swept the five people in front of him, and looked down at the sea of clouds under his feet, and immediately stepped on the ground, and the crack like thunder spread from his feet to the entire high platform.

With a loud bang, the high platform on the top of the mountain collapsed instantly, and all the heads of the five mountains fell down into the sea of clouds, Lu Hanjiang held a pine branch on the broken wall with one hand and stabilized the falling figure.

Looking down, I saw that the figures of the five people gradually disappeared, and in an instant, the sea of clouds turned into a whirlpool, as dark as an abyss.

Lu Hanjiang stared at the abyss with lowered eyes, as if something was watching him, he was silent, and suddenly let go of the head holding the pine branch, wanting to jump into the whirlpool.

It's just that at this moment, the clouds disappeared, the mountains were gone, and the steam appeared in front of him with a pair of huge red eyes, and on top of the mecha humanoids several feet high, stood impressively on the three predecessors of the Freedom Sect.

It was the Taiwei Daoist who died at his hands, and the Taiyi person who was known as Yanshi, and there was another person who was as unpredictable as a mist, presumably the Taixuan Daoist who had never had the opportunity to meet.

"If you have entered my door, why don't you worship?" Above the mecha, Taixuan's voice mixed with emptiness and nothingness sounded high.

Lu Hanjiang raised his eyes to look, and with a smile, he raised his hand and punched it out, the golden light condensed into a magic seal, and after a roar, the mecha became a tattered shelf, and the three of them became clouds and dissipated.

"Brave and strong Vajra palm, concede." Lu Hanjiang retracted his palm, and in a trance he heard a noisy shout of killing, he blinked, and the mutilation of the mechanism turned into a raised mound, and on the plain in the distance, countless figures were fighting.

A gust of wind blew, Lu Hanjiang saw the banner of the centaur in the distance, it turned out that this was the territory of the Ten Thousand Daomen, and the sound of those killings was getting closer and closer, but when they came to the front, those people were no longer the remnants of the Ten Thousand Daomen, but the chivalrous warriors of the Jiangnan Righteous Dao.

"Damn brocade guards! Hurt our lives, and buckle a hat upside down, I don't share the sky with you! ”

A chivalrous warrior shouted, wielding a knife and killing him, Lu Hanjiang looked down at his outfit, and after a long absence, he put on the clothes of the general flag again.

At that moment, Lu Hanjiang seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes looked around to explore the past, and sure enough, among the familiar faces, he saw Tianquan, Gongsun Cheng, and many familiar people.

The eyes of these people were full of hatred, like a tide, surging forward, Lu Hanjiang walked lightly, swam in the sea of people, and took away a few fresh lives with a raised hand.

Along the way, there was already a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood behind him, until he found Huangfu Xiaoyuan in the crowd, and the other party's cold face suddenly flashed with a killing intent, and he stabbed at the door with a sword.

Lu Hanjiang frowned, his hand rose and fell, and with a bang, the sword broke and fell, and the beauty died, and in a flash, the sound of killing, corpses, hatred, and cold killing intent were all far away, and in the dead darkness, a crisp laugh suddenly sounded.

"I really don't know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, don't you have any feelings for her?"

The figure of the crown princess resurfaced from the darkness, holding the cold bones with both hands, and Huangfu Xiaoyuan was like a soulless puppet, embraced by her affectionately.

Lu Hanjiang looked at her, shrugged his shoulders lightly and said: "Your acting skills are good, but it's a pity that the flaws in this hand are still too obvious, Xiaoyuan is different from Shang Luo, it is impossible for her to draw a sword against me." ”

"Even if you kill the people closest to you?" The crown princess smiled: "It's really confident, but it's true, it's really a pity, it's obviously her children." ”

"What the hell are you?"

Lu Hanjiang's raised hand seemed to be holding up the breeze at hand, but when the wind fell on the crown princess, it became a violent wave of qi, and her body was once shattered and reorganized under the ravages of the wind, turning into mud and sand and reshaping her human form again.

Lu Hanjiang watched this process indifferently, and then said lightly: "If it is really as you said, the illusion of the Nether Lantern all comes from my memory, then something like you should not exist in the first place, so, who are you?" ”

"The answer is obvious, isn't it?"

The crown princess covered her mouth and chuckled, at that moment, this shell, which should have been soulless, seemed to have suddenly retrieved the already cold heart from hell, and the whole person suddenly became vivid.

"Since its birth, the Nether Lantern has instinctively influenced everything around it, which is why the Valley of Death and the Shengli Flower will appear, the Nether Lantern will provide the soil for the survival of the Shengli Flower, and the Shengli Flower will in turn provide the Nether Lantern with the flesh and blood of the mortals."

The crown princess's gaze drooped: "And your appearance has destroyed this beautiful cycle, the ghost lamp has lost its nutrients, if no one continues to supply it with enough power to light it, it will be cruelly extinguished, and it is at this time that the girl has discovered the means to manipulate this lamp." ”

As the words fell, a blood flower bloomed at the feet of the two of them, and in the blooming blood flower, the ghost lamp slowly emerged, and the posture it showed at this moment, noble and mysterious, strange and bewitching light, made all the darkness around it boil, like a large mass of wriggling flesh, and all began to become excited.

"Blood" Lu Hanjiang said in a firm tone: "The means of driving the ghost lamp is blood, and it is the blood of the Huangfu family. ”

"Not bad." The crown princess bowed slightly: "That child is indeed very lucky, and she discovered this not long after she first came into contact." ”

"It's not long since I got in touch," Lu Hanjiang's eyes narrowed slightly: "In this way, my luck is not bad." ”

"Indeed," the crown princess shook her head in distress, "That kid has never let go of the hatred in her heart one day, even if when you were acting with each other, it was really like that, she used it on you the first time she discovered this secret, but unfortunately at that time, you were still a person outside the world, and the ghost lamp could not have any effect on you, and because of this, you didn't find anything wrong." ”

"Really?" An expression full of interest slowly appeared on Lu Hanjiang's face: "That's right, if she really becomes the same as Xiaoyuan, then it's really not interesting at all, after all, it's your child, right, Your Highness?" ”

Although the figure in front of her had been wearing this face belonging to the crown princess before, it was not until this moment that she revealed her true appearance, those eyes that were bored with everything in the world, and those eyes that were malicious to everything in the world.

"In the past, this palace never believed in the so-called secret treasure of immortality, and only thought it was an ethereal legend, but now-"

The crown princess smiled slightly and said: "The person who made the ghost lamp not go out is that child, but the person who can let his last power affect you is this palace, but this palace didn't expect that he would meet you again in this kind of place." ”

"Unfortunately, you're dead." Lu Hanjiang shrugged.

"It's true that Hongu is dead, that's why it feels wonderful, isn't it? A person who has died can continue to talk to you in such a place as a living person. ”

The crown princess held the ghost lamp in her hand and caressed its posture, it was so gentle, she only heard her continue: "The bloodline of the Huangfu family is a curse, but it also has such a strange effect, with the blood of the palace completely ignited by the lamp, it can actually make the palace continue to exist in such a posture, it is indeed very reasonable to say that it is a curse." ”

Looking at the crown princess in silence, Lu Hanjiang suddenly spoke: "That day in the East Palace, you said to me before you died, we are the same people, and to this day, I still feel that we are not like each other at all." ”

"Really? It's a pity that the feeling of Hongu is just the opposite of yours. ”

The crown princess lowered her eyes and murmured as if she was distracted: "You and I have seen people close to me die in front of us, but we are indifferent, what we have gained, what we have lost, but they can't cause any waves in our hearts, power, status, money, martial arts, for us, it seems to be useless things, even if it is just to observe an ant nest under a tree in the countryside, you and I can stay for a long time and still not feel tired." ”

As she spoke, the crown princess tapped her heart lightly, and she said: "This palace is the same person as you, and this place is empty, but that day, you were angry." ”

The crown princess's forever cheerful expression suddenly froze for a moment, and she showed a sad expression for the first time: "You are right, now you and this palace are indeed no longer the same person, because you already have concerns in your heart, you are no longer incompatible with this world, and you are no longer disgusted with everything in the world, and those inexplicable flames in your heart have now been extinguished." ”

Lu Hanjiang opened his mouth to say something, but suddenly thought that this was the world that the Nether Lantern had transformed with his own demons, so he closed his mouth again.

"I thought that the person who would be left behind was you, but who would have thought that the only one who was alone was this palace," the crown princess complained with some distress: "Isn't this a betrayal?" ”

As she spoke, two figures slowly emerged from the darkness behind her, and in just a moment, the terrifying sword intent that rushed into the sky made the entire space tremble.

The two old-timers of Wudang, Qi Yunzi and Shangyangzi, appeared behind the crown princess like guards, and the heavenly fierce and true martial arts in their hands rolled up bursts of violent wind and waves respectively.

Lu Hanjiang lowered his eyes, his footsteps were only a few steps forward, and the direction of the wind suddenly changed, like a rolling tsunami, completely submerging the sword intent of the two old men in an instant, and the people who came from the darkness fell into darkness in an instant.

The crown princess's face was full of surprise: "These are the two strongest people you have ever remembered." ”

"That's true," Lu Hanjiang said, "I've imagined their strength countless times, and the battle in Wudang Mountain didn't live up to my expectations, they are indeed the strongest people in the world." ”

The crown princess bent down and picked up a piece of mud and sand: "Then why, you can so easily-"

"It's a pity that I can imagine how powerful they are, but I never can imagine how far my martial arts have come."

Lu Hanjiang tilted his head and said, "Even if there is a wisp of your ghost in the ghost lamp, there is no way to conjure things out that I can't imagine, right?" ”

The crown princess smiled: "It turns out that your martial arts have long reached the point where you can ignore everything in this world, but it's not surprising, after all, you and I are like this, and martial arts have become something outside the body." ”

"So, what you want me to see, my 'inner demon' has been displayed?" As soon as Lu Hanjiang's mind moved, the Heavenly Machine Sword, which had already been scattered into sand, re-condensed and appeared in his hand.

"If even these two can't help you, then there is really nothing to be done in this palace."

The crown princess said, but she suddenly gave way to her position, only to hear her say slowly: "It's just, after all, you've come this far, don't you want to see the real path to immortality?" ”

When the words fell, everything suddenly became clear, the sticky black mist turned into colorful auspicious clouds, the ugly mud and sand turned into petals and cranes, and a gilded staircase slowly emerged from behind the crown princess, reaching the sky.

The ghost lamp in the princess's hand turned into a wine vessel, poured a glass of emerald wine, she offered it leisurely, and said in her mouth: "The things you need for immortality have been held in your hands, and the road to immortality is here." ”

Lu Hanjiang stepped forward, lowered his eyes and looked at the glass of wine, and suddenly asked, "When you were a child, did you still coax Xiaoyuan to sleep?" ”

This irrelevant question made the crown princess stunned for a moment, and then she burst out laughing: "It turns out that you were eavesdropping outside the door that day, Your Royal Highness the Imperial Sun, you are still acting so stingy." ”

As she spoke, the smile on the crown princess's face slowly expanded: "That's not a lullaby, it's a kind of exercise of the Western Regions Outer Daoist Buddhism. ”

The crown princess winked at Lu Hanjiang and said quite innocently: "After all, when I was in the Huangfu's house, this palace was really boring, and it was not a funny thing to watch Xiaoyuan practice martial arts every day because of hatred." ”

Lu Hanjiang suddenly said: "So, did you want to provoke Xiaoyuan to do something to me that day?" ”

The crown princess nodded, and then sighed: "It's a pity, that kid is really in love with you, and he was able to hold back the hatred in his heart that day and didn't do anything." ”

With another sigh, the crown princess shook her head, then raised the wine glass in her hand and gestured, "Do you have any other questions?" ”

"It's gone." Lu Hanjiang stretched out his hand to take the wine glass, but directly poured the wine on the ground.

The crown princess said quite amusedly: "This is a world transformed by the ghost lamp, you don't think that such a place can be poisoned, right?" ”

"Of course not."

Lu Hanjiang said: "It's just that why are you sure that I will definitely be interested in this method of immortality?" ”

"Aren't you interested?" The crown princess asked rhetorically: "Since the day you and I met, the wonderful fate that this world has added to you has continuously guided you to contact the secret of immortality, and now, can you really say a word, you are not interested in it at all?" ”

Lu Hanjiang was silent, he took a deep breath, and then the crown princess saw that the Heavenly Machine Sword in his hand had already pointed the blade towards the sky at some point.

"Huh?" The crown princess looked at the mud and sand slowly flowing from her body in surprise, and when she turned around, she saw that the gilded ladder to ascend to the immortal was full of various cracks at the moment, and when she looked up, she saw that the sky was completely cracked, leaving a deep sword mark, calling the heavens and the earth silent.

Boom Boom –

Late crackling sounds came one after another, the ladder collapsed, and even the world with infinite light returned to the dark chaos.

His eyes met the crown princess whose body gradually turned into mud and sand and dissipated, Lu Hanjiang said with a smile: "Your Highness guessed right, I am indeed very interested, but I also know my character, and I have never been the type of likable, so I prefer to grab it myself than you send it to the door." ”

When the shadow of the crown princess completely disappeared from this space, Lu Hanjiang looked down at the black mist that had submerged to his waist, and the heavenly machine that had been broken in his hand was restored to the sharp blade again, with only one sword, the heavens and the earth changed.

The black mist under his feet was divided into two, Lu Hanjiang stepped on the corpse mountain blood river that had not yet dried up, and walked forward step by step, the heavenly machine in his hand was unmatched, until the black fog could no longer cover everything in the dark, and he finally came to the end of the illusion.

The rotten door was bound by countless chains, but through the cracks there was a glimmer of light behind it, as if waiting for him to break it.

The world began to tremble, as if in fear, as if in anticipation of something, and the trembling black mist churned, and the ultimate answer to all questions pointed to this gate engraved with eternal marks.

Lu Hanjiang didn't hesitate to slash out with a sword, the gate shattered, and then a flash of light suddenly shot out, and in the dazzling light, he could barely see the world behind him.

It was a place full of all kinds of strange beings, mysterious, twisted, weird, and full of fascinating everything, and all the desires of the world seemed so pale and tasteless in front of it.

It was just a simple glance, and it was difficult for Lu Hanjiang to look away, he subconsciously stretched out his hand, wanting to explore everything in it, and at this moment, the restless black fog suddenly erupted with extremely strong emotions, that was unwillingness, that was anger.

In the silent roar of the black mist, Lu Hanjiang suddenly stopped his outstretched hand, and he turned his head because he heard someone calling his name there-

"Your Majesty. His Royal Highness Lu Hanjiang!! ”

A blood flower bloomed in his hand, Lu Hanjiang woke up suddenly, and he saw a pair of eyes full of worry, it was Princess Yongle.

Lu Hanjiang followed the other party's gaze and looked down, the ghost lamp had broken at some point, and the corner of the broken fragment was pinched in his hand, and the sharp tip was against his wrist, and drops of blood slipped from that wrist.

"You're too careless." Yongle complained while carefully treating Lu Hanjiang's wounds.

Lu Hanjiang lowered his head and looked at Yongle in silence, and after a long time, he said, "Not in the future." ”

As the sigh-like voice fell, the lamp that had lasted for thousands of years in the shattered ghostly lamp on the ground was finally completely extinguished.
