Chapter 193: Heavy Year
Broken City, before the wolf smoke was lit.
The palace was prostrate in the night, the square ahead was deserted, the walls stood in all directions, and guards stood on them, and torches burned quietly and sometimes moved back and forth.
Su Yanshu looked at such an imperial city, her fiery red dress blowing in the night breeze, and the phoenix bird on her skirt seemed to have already slept peacefully.
"I don't like it here. She suddenly spoke, and her words were soft: "This is like a cage, since I came, I have only danced and drunk every day, and forced the king to smile, I am really tired these days, shall we go...... Peach blossoms should only be rewarded with spring bloom, not flower appreciation. ”
Behind her, the night seemed to ripple after her words.
"Do you want to go with me?" a voice sounded behind itself.
Kui Yuan walked out of the night with a knife in his hand, walked behind her, and looked at her back.
Su Yanshu's eyes hung down on the tall building, and his sigh was as far away as a torch on the city wall: "You don't even have a sword, how can you take me away?"
Kui Yuan looked at the knife in his arms and lowered his head slightly.
A month earlier, he had lost his sword to him in a battle with the king.
These three months were the most depressing three months of his life.
For many nights, he felt that the darkness was like a fire, constantly burning his dignity and keeping him awake at night.
He was supposed to be the hero of Broken Frontier City, but now he should go and open up the wilderness, plant the banner on the ice field, and then go farther until he sees the true light. And today, the city gate was opened, and he was not subject to any prohibition, but he did not choose to leave, and still stayed here, not leaving an inch.
What he guards is also his own dignity.
Kui Yuan said, "I'll kill him." ”
Su Yanshu smiled helplessly: "You couldn't win against him three months ago, and it's the same now, you will die." ”
Kui Yuan looked into her eyes and asked seriously, "Do you really want me to take you away?"
"Of course I hope ......" Su Yanshu's smile became lighter and lighter, and her words were as light as a feather: "In these three months, do you think I'm happy?"
Kui Yuan's brows furrowed, and his expression couldn't hide his pain: "I'm not happy, even if you are right in front of me, I can't be happy at all." ”
Su Yanshu looked away, looked in a farther direction, and said, "Isn't it your long-standing wish to go out with people all over the city?"
"Not anymore. Kui Yuan shook his head and said, "I just want to take you out, and we never come back." ”
Su Yanshu asked, "But what if he comes to chase us?"
Kui Yuan said: "I will protect you." ”
Su Yanshu smiled miserably: "But you are not his opponent at all." ”
Kui Yuan was silent again, and the fireworks in his chest were set off like angry waves after three months of rushing in.
Su Yanshu said: "You may not be able to kill him alone, but there is me." ”
Kui Yuan said: "But you don't know how to practice at all. ”
Su Yanshu pondered for a moment, and suddenly said, "I know where the strongest martial arts secret in the entire Broken Boundary City is. ”
Kui Yuan's eyes lit up slightly: "What?"
Su Yanshu walked in the attic, his fingers lightly tapped the railing, and recalled: "There is a book pavilion in the palace, and that book pavilion hides the cultivation secrets of all the royal families in the city, and those secret books are not scattered in the first place, in fact, they can be combined into one book, and if that book is cultivated, it can gather the fortune of the city and become the real number one in the world." ”
Kui Yuan remembered something.
Almost everyone in the royal family practiced the Tao in a different way, and there were eighty-one in total, which were randomly divided.
The exercises he practiced were called the Nine Shadows Sutra, and there were only three people who practiced the same kind of exercises as him.
The Nine Shadows Sutra is very powerful, and those who practice this method can hide their aura well and kill people in the dark. But he always felt that there was something wrong with the beginning and end of this exercise, and it seemed to be incommensurate with the main purpose of the whole book. But he never thought about it.
At this moment, Su Yanshu's words woke him up, and he suddenly realized that his Nine Shadows Sutra might be incomplete.
But the idea of the eighty-one Dao methods merging into one was too unbelievable, and he couldn't accept this statement for a while.
"How do you know?" asked Kui Yuan.
Su Yanshu didn't answer, just smiled faintly and said, "Tonight is the best opportunity, as long as we get that Dao method, we can leave together and cultivate a peerless divine technique, and then we don't have to be afraid of anyone." ”
Kui Yuan looked at her who was extremely beautiful in the night, and a trace of vigilance appeared in his heart, and he asked, "Why does it have to be tonight?"
Su Yanshu said: "Because the one who is really in charge of the royal city is not the king, but a woman named Si Ming, and she is not in the city tonight...... If we wait for her to come back, we may never be able to leave?"
"Si Ming?" Kui Yuan had never heard of.
Su Yanshu said: "Believe it or not, these are all things that the king said to me unintentionally, he is so conceited, he feels that no one dares to betray him." ”
Kui Yuan was silent for a long time and said, "But the king is near the Book Pavilion. ”
"Are you so afraid of him?"
"Don't be afraid...... Do you really love me?"
"I don't love kings. ”
Now they are the only men who are vying for her, and they do not love the king, but of course they love him.
Kui Yuan fell silent and didn't ask deeply.
"Everyone in the city knows that we are going to get married, isn't that enough?" Su Yanshu smiled movingly, and said: "Go away and fly high, this is what we said was good, if you don't want to go, give me the knife, and I will go to the palace to see him." ”
Kui Yuan looked at the tears that crossed her cheeks, and couldn't bear to ask any more.
"You wait for me to come back. He turned away with his knife in his hand, and soon disappeared into the night.
Su Yanshu looked at his departing back, and his eyes returned to indifference.
In the end, Kui Yuan failed to infiltrate the Library, and in the palace, the sword and sword collided together.
Su Yanshu stood in the attic, looking into the distance.
At a certain moment, all the lights in the palace came on in unison, as if a great fire had been burned.
Su Yanshu looked at the bright color, and gently sang the song in the art building, with a leisurely expression, and then drifted away in the desolate wind.
The next time she saw Kui Yuan was in the palace.
He was a cold corpse.
The king sat on his throne, and there was a clear tear in the dragon's robe, and blood oozed from the crack, staining the golden dragon into red scales.
Su Yanshu knelt on the ground of the palace, lowered his head, trembling, and the figure under the red clothes was like a willow.
"Your Majesty, he ...... When did he come?" Su Yanshu raised his gaze slightly, wanting to glance at the king, but he suddenly floated down, looking at the hands clenched between his sleeves, and his shoulders narrowly closed.
The king looked at her and tried to help her up, but the pain in his chest calmed him down a little, and he asked, "You don't know anything?"
Su Yanshu shook his head lightly and said, "He...... I didn't say anything to the slave family. ”
The king continued, "He didn't show anything unusual?"
Su Yanshu frowned and recalled: "Today he has been snuggling at the door, looking out the window, and he doesn't know what he is thinking. ”
The king sighed, "It's my fault, I shouldn't have let him be your guard, and we have lost one of the strongest swordsmen in Broken Boundary City in vain." ”
Su Yanshu shook his head lightly: "The slave family didn't expect him to dare to assassinate His Majesty." ”
The king said, "It's just foolishness, I only used three swords to kill him." ”
Su Yanshu said in a tactful voice: "Your Majesty is mighty, what is a swordsman? Your Majesty is the king of Broken Boundary City for thousands of generations." ”
The king narrowed his eyes at her, and finally asked, "He really didn't tell you anything?"
Su Yanshu suddenly became nervous, she knelt on the ground, her forehead lightly touched the ground, and then said, "I said something, it's just ......"
The king understood what she meant, and he withdrew from the others, then stepped down from the throne, squatted down slightly, and held Su Yanshu's shoulders to make her get up.
Su Yanshu stood up, not daring to face the king.
The king said, "Now you can say it?"
Su Yan stood up, leaned forward intentionally or unintentionally, and said, "Here...... The slave family is afraid. ”
The king smiled and said, "Then I will take you to a more secret place." ”
Su Yanshu lowered his head, smiled shyly, and followed the footsteps of the king.
In the bedroom of the palace of the palace, the lights were dim, Su Yanshu was dressed in thin clothes, sat on the edge of the bed, and finally spoke: "Kui Yuan told me that he knew where the strongest Dao method in the world was hidden, and the slave family only thought he was joking, but I didn't expect him to really look for it." ”
The king smiled and said with great interest, "The strongest Dao method? ”
Su Yanshu hesitated for a while, and laughed self-deprecatingly: "His words are too fantastical, he told the slave family that all the exercises in this city were originally a complete book, but for some reason, they were split into eighty-one, and he said that as long as these eighty-one mental methods are pieced together, he can become the first in the world." ”
The smile on the king's face faded: "Who told him?"
Su Yanshu was frightened by his expression and retreated slightly: "How does the slave family know?"
The king's expression became even colder, and he said to himself, "Is it a heavy year?"
"Heavy year?" Su Yanshu was startled: "Is it still in the city?"
The king shook his head and said, "This is also a knot in my heart. ”
Su Yanshu asked tentatively, "Could it be ...... Is what Kui Yuan said true?"
The king looked at the beautiful woman's watery eyes, and did not hide it, and said proudly: "That is what the Nine Heavens Goddess left us back then, there are eighty-one in total, and that is a real divine thing...... Naturally, such an important thing will not be placed in the Book Pavilion, heh, you can use your exquisite mind to guess where those Exercise Divine Scrolls are?"
Su Yanshu smiled weakly: "The slave family just asked casually, where can I guess?"
The king laughed, and said, "Those scrolls are now hidden in the prison of ghosts, eighty-one evil spirits...... Why don't you kill them? In a sense, they are also the patron saints of those books, and in order to get the cheats, you have to kill all the ghosts, but even that is not enough, it has to be in the right order. ”
Su Yanshu asked, "Is this the Dao method that Your Majesty is cultivating?"
The king shook his head and said, "When the goddess descended from the heavens and dropped the first stone tablet, she had already instructed that only the reincarnated gods could practice this kind of exercise, and the last one who practiced this method without authorization...... The end was terrible. ”
Su Yanshu listened quietly, always looking at the king.
The king looked into her eyes and suddenly felt something strange in her eyes...... The smile in his eyes was so calm, as if all the previous softness and weakness had been washed away by the stream.
The king could not have imagined that his words would cost him his life.
There seemed to be something floating in the air, something that glowed grayish, like a blurred fog.
The king was sure that it was not a drug, and that he would never be poisoned by something as lowly as a drug, and then he remembered that this was time......
He looked at Su Yanshu fixedly, as if frozen in the cold wave of time, unable to move for a moment.
This is the prison of time.
"You ......" the king struggled incessantly, his words stretched out for a long time as they slowed down countless times.
What trapped him was the law, and the law was something above the Dao law, for example, in this heaven and earth, even if it was as strong as Ye Zhi and Si Ming, he could only breathe within the law, and even the Purple Court Realm could not break through.
Therefore the king could not break free.
Su Yanshu knew what he wanted to know, and she didn't skimp on her answer: "I'm the Chongsui you've been looking for." ”
She admired the shock in the king's eyes, and then drew a sword from the armory rack in the dormitory.
It was Kui Yuan's sword, and she smiled apologetically at it, then used it to cut off the king's head.
He sat upright in a chair wearing the crown of the emperor, blood dripping from the cracks, soaking his body.
This appearance is like that of a god whose head has been cut off in a legend.
Su Yanshu turned to leave, and the night wind swept the red skirt, like a fire burning in the dark night.
This night, she came to the ghost prison alone, and used the hundred years of time given to her by the night to freeze and kill the monsters in the ghost prison one after another silently, and after she took away eighty Taoist secret books, she stopped at the innermost prison door.
She knew the details of the prison.
It is imprisoned by what is known as the most vicious ghost in the entire imperial city.
But she knew that it was not a real ghost, but the previous king, who forcibly practiced these eighty-one exercises, went mad, and was finally devoured, turned into such an ugly and crazy ghost, and then was imprisoned in the deepest part of the ghost prison by Si Ming.
But for some reason, now the hell prison is empty, and the chains that were supposed to bind the monsters have fallen down, and the monsters in them are gone.
Where did he go?
Su Yanshu's heart was slightly cold, and he remained vigilant, looking around cautiously, for fear that a pair of sharp claws would suddenly stretch out in the dark.
But everything was still quiet.
She walked inside, looking for the hiding place of the last cheatbook.
But she found nothing.
Of the eighty-one Taoist secret books, one was eventually missing.
Her gaze swept over the thin spine of the book, looking at each name, thinking about something in her heart.
"Northern Divine Sword!" Su Yanshu's pupils shrank, and he suddenly remembered the little girl from the royal family he knew, Shao Xiaoli, who had once boasted to herself that the name of the Dao method she cultivated was the Northern Divine Sword.
Coincidentally, there is no book, and among these eighty secret books, this one is missing.
"Shao Xiaoli ......"
She muttered softly, knowing that everyone had gone out tonight, including Shao Xiaoli.
And tonight is also the best time to get it after many years of hard work.
Her time prison was also created for herself by night divided by the time she bought, and it was not her authority, so in fact she did not have the strength to confront Si Ming head-on.
She had to leave by this morning.
She understood that this secret book should have been taken with her before the order left, and she had always been in the embankment.
Su Yanshu hesitated for a while, and finally had no choice but to leave.
But before leaving, she had a very important place to go.
Star Spirit Temple.
But Si Ming also had an embankment for her.
Before Si Ming left, he didn't take her black sword with him. And this black sword psychic, like a gatekeeper dog, always hovers in front of the murals of the Star Spirit Temple.
Su Yanshu wanted to break through, but was intercepted by this black sword, cutting off a strand of hair hanging down from his sideburns, and a bright red blood mark was also wiped out on his forehead.
Su Yanshu touched his injuries and frowned and sighed.
If there was no arrangement for the night removal, then she was just an ordinary cultivator, and she was not very powerful.
Of course, this is also the reason why she has been able to lurk in the city for so many years without being detected.
Many years ago, she was just a seven or eight-year-old girl, when her brother went to the casino to gamble for a day and a night, not only lost all the family wealth, but also gambled all the money the family gave to her parents for treatment, she couldn't bear her mother to die slowly in front of her, so she listened to a legend, and then went out of the city with the army to find the canyon that can fulfill people's wishes.
Eventually, when she was exhausted, a huge black eagle grabbed her, and instead of becoming food for the black eagle, she was sent to the legendary snow-capped gorge.
She saw the most perfect person she had ever seen in her life.
Instead of buying his own time, he asked her if she would like to be his wife.
At that time, he was holding in his arms a gray-haired but young-looking woman, who was said to have aged overnight and then died.
Later, she learned that it was the last heavy age.
At that time, he said that he wanted to help him change his life, and she asked what he had to give, and he did not ask for anything, except that when she was sixteen, she would come back here again and become his wife.
She didn't know why, but she agreed to everything.
Later, she returns to Broken Border City, where she discovers that her parents' illness has miraculously cured, and she wants to tell them that it's her fault, but no one cares about her, and it's impossible to believe her.
When she was sixteen years old, her brother entered a casino, had his hand chopped off and broke his leg, and she was forced by her father to sell to an art house to make money.
It was also that year that she came out of the city again, met the black eagle, and went to the snowy gorge. Ye Ye did not forget her, but softly welcomed her back. So in a daze, she became a new heavy year.
She bowed to the banner with Yeji, and at that time, his god-like face was full of light and smile, and he promised to grow old with him.
These memories are as unreal as dreams even when I think about them now.
She hadn't seen him for a long time.
Today, she finally did what he had told her to do, even if it wasn't so perfect.
Soon after, the king's body would be found in the palace, and the whole city would be shocked, and then a great panic would fall, and before dawn she would have left the city to meet her husband.
She has never been Su Yanshu, she is a heavy year.
......
......
When Si Ming returned to the royal city, the city was already heavily guarded, and the death of the emperor could not be hidden, such as the dandelion seeds that were blown away by the wind, which spread rapidly after dawn, and mixed with the news of the disappearance of the Yilou Oiran.
"It turned out to be you......" Si Ming remembered the woman who was holding the guqin in her arms and showing off her flowers, and sighed softly.
She came to the ghost prison, looked at everything that was dead and silent, and knew it in her heart.
Is that what he's for?
Si Ming knows this exercise, and the complete name of this exercise is "Shura Shenlu", and there will be earth-shaking changes when the eighty-one forms are united.
It's just that this exercise can only be practiced by reincarnated gods, because reincarnated gods have the body of Shura.
She didn't know what she wanted this thing for.
She and Ye Ye are both gods, and they have not experienced reincarnation, so they can't cultivate this method at all, not to mention that he is now injured like this......
She was quite confident in her sword, which could not be healed in three or five years, and if it was not well recuperated, it could even be fatal......
Fatal!
Si Ming snapped back to his senses, and an idea popped up in his mind.
"Could it be ......" Si Ming stood in the ghost prison, and with her rage, all the corpses began to decay sharply.
She had a ridiculous idea.
Will Ye Ye want to end his life with his own sword, and then reincarnate, come out of the chaos at the end, and become a real Shura!
But if this is the case, he will lose his spiritual power for a long time, and he will be as weak as a baby, how can he survive that time?
Thinking of this, Si Ming already had the answer in his heart.
If he was really reborn, he would seek out Ning Chang to trade, seek protection, and then hide in a place that was difficult for him to find until he returned from cultivation.
And Chong Sui stole all the Taoism, and the only thing missing was what Shao Xiaoli had learned...... Fate seems to play tricks.
Before she knew it, she was back in the Star Spirit Temple.
She took the black sword that guarded the door and stepped into the temple.
The waves of water shook the dark silver color on both sides, and the sound of rippling water was like the strings of a girl ticking at midnight.
She stepped into the water, and the red candle light illuminated her white dress.
A thin stream of water washed her delicate ankles, and the reflection of the candle flame gathered and dispersed.
She walked to the end of the road, brushed the hem of her skirt, and sat down on the slender sundial, and looked at the sundial as broken as a half-moon.
She closed her eyes, her body tensed a little, her calves shook unconsciously, she thought about everything that had happened last night, and felt that the situation she had been bound to win seemed to be fading away.
She involuntarily recalled that dream, the picture in the dream came to mind, her red lips pursed, her body couldn't help but tremble, her jade toes were slightly buckled, and a flush flashed on her face.
It took a long time for her to open her eyes again, and she threw away the chaos of her thoughts and returned to godly indifference.
She realized that if she did so, she would be killing herself.
And after she recovers from her injuries, Ning Changjiu is by no means her opponent, so the so-called heavy age is naturally not worth mentioning.
She pulled out the black sword that lay across her lap, looked at her face at the blade, and decided to cross the ice field on her own initiative to find their hiding traces.
