Chapter 40: Counting One Another
"Now, you know what?"
The next moment, Sun Hongying's voice also underwent some subtle changes,
Under the influence of those eyes full of madness, Sun Hongying at this moment seemed to be a different person.
Madness, killing, disregard...
That eye revealed too many negative emotions,
In a trance, Xu Lan felt that he was in a battlefield,
The blood on the ground converged into an ocean, and I raised my eyes to look at the mountains of white bones around me!
There is no one alive as far as the eye can see!
But it didn't last long.
After a while, Sun Hongying slowly lowered her hand and let the cloth cover her eyes again.
In a flash
The astonishing killing intent that permeated the surroundings also disappeared without a trace.
Xu Lan and Chen Ci, who came back to their senses, looked at each other, each showing a relieved look.
In that moment,
The instinct of the body senses the danger and subconsciously enters the fighting state,
If it weren't for Sun Hongying's timely withdrawal, I'm afraid the two would have drawn their swords to her at this time.
"Sorry, didn't scare you, did you?"
Sun Hongying, who had regained her calmness, rarely showed a hint of playfulness and said, "I have tried my best to be restrained." ”
Xu Lan: ......
It's hard to imagine what Sun Hongying has gone through to be able to have such a terrifying killing intent.
And her kind of killing intent is very unique, and Chen Ci, who was born in the Hanging Mirror Division, also has killing intent.
But nowhere near as terrifying as she was.
"Has Miss Sun ever been on the battlefield?"
At this time, Chen Ci slowly spoke: "I have seen some soldiers in Kyoto who have been disarmed and returned to the field, and their murderous aura is just like yours. ”
"Worthy of being a member of the Hanging Mirror Division."
The corners of Sun Hongying's mouth rose slightly, and she said with a smile: "But these are all in the past, and now I am only Sun Hongying, the contemporary head of the Sun family in Qingzhou." ”
I wanted to stop talking, but in the end I didn't say anything.
At this moment, the maid of the Sun Mansion came over and informed that the dishes for the banquet had been prepared.
"Xu Gongzi, please."
After Xu Lan agreed to the deal, Sun Hongying's mood looked significantly better.
"Okay, I'm tired."
Xu Lan did not refuse the invitation,
After all, he really hadn't eaten yet.
Later, Xu Lan and Chen Ci also said goodbye and left after having a meal in Sun Fuzhong, but this time neither of them drank alcohol.
After eating, Xu Lan didn't continue to greet Sun Hongying, so he found an excuse to leave,
Sun Hongying did not stop her, but once again promised to send the things Xu Lan needed to the Xu Mansion in three days.
"Head of the house, they're gone."
Steward Lin returned to the living room after sending Xu Lan and the others away, and looked at Sun Hongying, who had his back to him in front of him, and couldn't help but show a worried look.
Others may not know Sun Hongying's condition,
But as the head of the Sun Mansion, how could Sun Hongying's henchmen not know that Sun Hongying's situation was not much better at this moment.
"Hmm."
Sun Hongying replied softly, and the next moment she covered her eyes and let out a painful cold snort.
The astonishing killing intent quickly spread all around, but it was fleeting.
This cycle continues, and it seems that there is another mysterious consciousness in Sun Hongying's body competing for her body.
"Presumptuous, my body is not in your turn to control!"
Sun Hongying muttered to herself, and the next moment her voice changed again.
"Yours? You are Sun Hongying, am I not Sun Hongying? ”
"Shut up!"
"I am you, you are me, if you dare to open the catastrophe of heaven and man, you and I will die!"
"It's all said to shut you up!"
After a while, Sun Hongying breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's getting harder and harder to control..."
Sun Hongying knew that there was not much time left for herself,
If she doesn't survive the catastrophe as soon as possible, then she won't be her anymore.
"Master, what are we going to do next?"
Steward Lin asked in a low voice, "I have already sent someone to rush to the place where the ore vein is located overnight, and it is estimated that it will take about seven days to clear the collapsed channel." ”
"Seven days..."
Sun Hongying said slowly: "The sooner this matter is, the better, and it can't be delayed any longer." ”
"Okay."
Steward Lin nodded, and then stopped talking.
"Family Master, you promised Xu Lan three things, what if he takes this opportunity to make some excessive demands on us?"
Hearing this, Sun Hongying's eyes narrowed slightly, as if she was thinking about something.
"The top priority is to send those fifty deep sea black iron long swords to the Xu Mansion."
Sun Hongying said indifferently: "As long as I can survive the catastrophe of heaven and man, then Xu Lan would not continue to mention this matter if he was interested." ”
As for unconditionally promising Xu Lan three things...
To be honest, Sun Hongying did not intend to fulfill her promise from the beginning, everything was just a delaying tactic.
Xu Lan is willing to believe that it is his own business, and whether she is willing to do it or not is her own decision.
…….
On the streets of Qingzhou,
Xu Lan and Chen Ci walked side by side.
"What do you think?"
Xu Lan looked up slightly at the bright moon hanging in the night sky, and said softly: "I feel that she is far more simple than it seems on the surface. ”
Obviously, there is no trace of true qi in Sun Hongying's body,
But the moment she took off the strip of cloth covering her eyes, it brought herself a strong sense of oppression.
The Great Perfection of the Four Realms!
At that moment, even I had only a powerlessness that permeated my whole body.
"Well, but I can understand why she's in a hurry to find that array mage's inheritance."
"Why?"
Xu Lan suddenly became interested when he heard this,
"What she cultivates is an extreme killing path, and choosing this cultivation path only requires allowing herself to keep killing and making her cultivation more and more refined day by day."
"Generally speaking, ordinary people will not choose this ultimate way of killing, because even if you kill a hundred, a thousand is far from enough."
"As far as I know, only those border soldiers who wander on the brink of life and death every day will choose this kind of cultivation path, because the number of people who die every day on the battlefield is tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands!"
"However, this kind of cultivation path also has obvious sequelae, and there is basically no way to survive in the face of the catastrophe of heaven and man."
"That's why she is desperate to seek the inheritance of that array mage, only in this way can she be sure enough to survive the tribulation of heaven and man."
Chen Ci's words made Xu Lan fall into thought,
"But she can choose not to face the catastrophe of heaven and man, won't it be fine?"
Xu Lan asked a very critical question,
"The ultimate killing method will cause more and more blood to be stained in the hands of cultivators, and once it accumulates to a certain extent, it will be entangled in cause and effect."
Chen Ci said slowly: "In this case, another consciousness will be born in the body, and it will even gradually affect itself over time, which is also called losing oneself. ”
"There is only one way to avoid this, and that is to use the power of the Heavenly Tribulation to eliminate all causes and effects in the body, including this consciousness that can affect the self."
"But the problem is that everything in heaven and earth has a set of rules, and the calamity of heaven and man excludes people who are entangled in cause and effect, and no person who is entangled in cause and effect has been able to survive the calamity of heaven and man."
