Chapter 22: Ishimaru
As far as Li Jiangliu could see, it was King Fu and his party, hugging and clustering, not far away.
Li Jiangliu walked a few steps quickly, crossed the secret door, and came behind everyone, Lu Ran was tied to the "Leng Yan Torch", which was connected to the treasure in his arms, and was also dragged and staggered forward.
Li Jiangliu was happy and surprised, happy that the two caves were actually connected left and right, he did not miss the "treasure hunt" on the right side of King Fu and his party, and was surprised that Fang Cai was so close, I don't know if his conversation with Lu Ran was listened to by others, he bowed his head and saluted King Fu, and observed everyone's reaction by the way.
Except for Li Yuexuan, who felt a little confused, and glanced at Lu Ran, no one cared about them.
No one was amazed by the intricate layout of the two caves, nor was anyone surprised or surprised by their arrival.
Everyone's attention was on a three-inch-sized Sendai at the end of the cave on the right.
It is said that it is Sendai, but it is nothing more than a stone, a simple four fields and eight desolation arrays, and a fist-sized stone pill is enshrined in the center of the array.
It's indeed Ishimaru. Li Jiangliu looked at it carefully, and couldn't help laughing in his heart, what kind of immortal treasure cave is this, a flower on the left, and a stone pill on the right, which can't help but remind people of that folk nursery rhyme - "When King Fu is happy, the people eat mud", this King Fu is afraid that he is not looking for materials for his garden.
Li Jiangliu's heart was ape, and with Gu Xing's help of twisting up the four more beams of "cold fire" for lighting, he couldn't help but look at the stone pill again, and when he stopped at a glance, he saw a familiar pattern again.
Neither nor is, neither nor have.
Like everyone else, his eyes could no longer leave Sendai.
Facing Sendai, Li Li, who was surrounded by "cold fire", looked extremely nervous, he had already stood here for a stick of incense, only looking at Sendai from a distance, unable to take a step forward.
"Gu Xing, is this stone pill?" There was both trepidation and excitement in his voice.
"Your Highness, exactly." Gu Xing was very determined.
"Think again." King Fu is gearing up, like a doll who wants to steal food but is afraid of being punished by adults.
"If Lone turns his head back at this time, he will be laughed at by the world, right?" King Fu looked back at everyone and smiled brightly and innocently.
Except for Gu Xing, who smiled and said nothing, everyone else stood still with a demented expression on their faces.
King Fu knew that they had all been fascinated by the formation of this place, by some unspeakable pattern.
"It's too difficult, it's too difficult, why did Father and Master send Gu here? Is it because loneliness is worse? Could it be that in their eyes, Lone is a wicked person who will ignore the world and only care about his own momentary pleasure? ”
"You say, if the father and the emperor come in person, or send the eldest brother, what will they choose?"
"You say, after a hundred years and a thousand years, what will the historian write?"
"You say, what will those eighty-eight women who are lonely think of me?"
"You say, why is Lone so mother-in-law at the moment?"
At this moment, King Fu had already taken a step forward and approached Sendai, he reached out several times to take the stone pill, but he hesitated to withdraw it.
He has always been decisive and reckless, but he doesn't know why he is so embarrassed and difficult to start.
"Take it if you want. Grind and chirp. ”
A voice came from the edge of the crowd, interrupting King Fu.
Following the prestige, it was the little Haizi, hanging his head, with a bloody face.
"I almost forgot, there's another you over here. Someone who is destined. King Fu smiled.
Lu Ran, who was not confused by the pattern, or Lu Ran, who was not qualified to see the pattern at all, gritted his teeth and glared at Li Yan fiercely.
"You're dirty." Li Yan looked at the burn marks on his body, as well as the "cold torch" tied to him, and shook his head in disgust.
Lu Ran didn't answer, and asked directly: "Let me ask you, why did Li Jiangliu say that he killed all the people in Lujia Village, did you instruct Li Jiangliu to go?" ”
"Yes." Li Yan admitted it lightly.
"You—and you, how can you be so shameless—so disrespectful of human life—" Lu Ran almost shouted.
Li Yan's eyes flashed with a hint of imperceptible gloom: "People are people, life is life, it's just not worth mentioning." Xiao Haizi, do you know what the stone pill on this stage is? ”
"What do I care about him? It has nothing to do with me! No matter who he is or what he is, you can't just kill people for this child! ”
"Kid?" When Li Yan heard these two words, he was shocked, and in an instant, a sword qi was sacrificed, which passed through the "Leng Yan Torch" and reached Lu Ran's throat: "You...... How do you know that this Ishimaru is a child? ”
This was the first time Lu Ran had seen Li Yan really angry all the way.
Or rather, a gaffe.
Lu Ran instinctively retreated and shouted, "What I saw, although this stone pill is small, I clearly saw a baby inside. ”
"Really?" Li Yan turned his head and glanced at the stone pill again, he knew the secret of the stone pill, but at this moment, he really couldn't see what was inside the stone pill.
Maybe this is the beauty of people who are destined? Li Yan thought about it, collected his sword qi, and said to Lu Ran: "This king is rude, people who are destined, it is reasonable to see it, but Xiao Haizi, since you are so destined, Na Gu has a few questions, I want to ask you." ”
"You ask."
"Lone asks you, if the child in this stone pill is a natural monster, destined to cause chaos in the world and ruin the world, will you take him away and let him see the light of day again in this place today?"
"I won't."
"Then if this stone pill is taken alone, Gu will also die, and you will have a great revenge?"
"I won't." Lu Ran's answer was still categorical.
"Why?"
"Because of my vengeance, I will avenge myself."
"Then if you take this stone pill, you will have the power of this monster, will you take it?"
"I won't."
"Under what circumstances would you go to get it?"
Lu Ran thought for a moment and said, "Unless you kill me now, before you kill me, I will take it as a last resort." ”
"Why?"
"Because at that moment, I couldn't think about it."
"Hahahaha." King Fu smiled with relief, and smiled very happily: "Your answer is very good, Gu will not kill you, not only will he not kill you, but he will also avenge you, this stone pill is said to be the strongest thing in the world, with him, Xia royal family like Li Jiangliu, it doesn't hurt to kill him thousands, as for you to kill Gu, Gu assures you that this stone pill will definitely kill Gu in the future." Lonely is Xia Yafu King Li Li, and Lone never breaks his word. ”
Lu Ran didn't make a sound, just a look of disbelief.
"Don't believe me? You can ask Gu Xing. ”
King Fu then remembered that there was a Gu Xing beside him who had been waiting silently.
"What King Fu said is a great secret, tell you that it is a great creation, every word, old decay can be guaranteed with life." Gu Xing stepped forward and nodded.
Although Gu Xing's yin and yang face was terrifying, it was very strange, and what he said, Lu Ran felt more credible than Li Li.
"Whether you are a human or an immortal, even if you are the real overlord of these three realms, how can you take care of so much."
"Xiao Haizi, I can't take care of so much!"
Without waiting for Lu Ran's reaction, and even Gu Xing didn't really see it, King Fu quickly took off the stone pill and put it in his arms.
Since then, he has also put the future of this world into his arms.
Lu Ran looked at the man in front of him in a daze, and fell into some indescribable emotion, many years later, he would still think of the scene in that cave - Li Yan was like a flower that suddenly bloomed, dancing with long sleeves, taking treasure in his arms while talking and laughing, and looking up to the sky and smiling.
He looked up to the sky and smiled, because everyone was no longer in his eyes, he looked up to the sky and smiled, because everything was no longer in his heart, he looked up to the sky and smiled, because at that moment, only the sky could empathize with him.
Although this is not the first time Lu Ran has come into contact with "cultivators" and "immortals", it is the first time that he has truly realized the existence of "immortals", the kind of chic and pleasure that transcends everything, forgetting things and forgetting himself, even if Li Yan was his blood feud at that time, he also deeply admired it.
Lu Ran was a little stupid, and even forgot the pain and hatred.
Until Gu Xing's sharp words passed through his ears like a sharp arrow, and he also woke up the stunned people by the way.
In a trance, the stone pill has fallen, the maze has been broken, and the atmosphere has been captured.
"Congratulations to King Fu."
"Congratulations to King Debao."
"Congratulations to Uncle Huang."
All kinds of sought after, praise, and praising came one after another.
Drowning in the vast number of congratulations, Lu Ran didn't feel any joy, he only had a kind of outright fear, he seemed to have returned to the pitch-black bilge, as if he saw the vast flames again, those darkness and flames, they should not exist at the same time.
They shouldn't even exist.
Lu Ran closed his eyes again in pain.
