Chapter 141: Sword Ghost
"It is my way to never leave a companion behind, and I live for my way and die for my way!"
Situ Jian couldn't do it, he couldn't send Xue Ji into this man's chest, he had never been a rational person. Therefore, he would rather risk rushing into the encirclement of hundreds of blood golems to save Luo Tian, either the two of them will come out together, or they will both die inside, at least this will preserve his pride and glory as a swordsman.
Meng Changfeng suddenly laughed, he was a very gentle and moody person, such a rough and heroic smile should not appear on him, his laughter should be mild or cold, but at this time, he laughed with a sense of arrogance and uninhibitedness.
"Situ Cheng, I used to ...... Like you, walk in the path of righteousness. Meng Changfeng stretched out his hand and pulled out the saber Changfeng on his waist.
The blood puppet fell down again, and the burly body weighing a thousand catties was just a few feet away from smashing on Meng Changfeng's body, he smiled gently at the two, and then thrust Changfeng into his chest, the saber penetrated his body and cut into the throat of the blood golem, piercing its cervical vertebrae, Meng Changfeng squeezed out the last trace of mysterious power in his body, and then turned the hilt of the sword violently, seriously injuring himself and crushing the bones of the blood golem.
The blood golem let out a ghostly unwilling cry, and the fragile long tail tail was finally unwilling to bear the burden, and fell down fiercely. He looked up at the sky, as if he had fallen into the infinite darkness, Luo Tian and Situ Yan shouted at him as they ran forward, but he couldn't hear anything.
"Changxuan...... I didn't expect that in the end, the ending of the two of us would be so similar. Meng Changfeng said softly.
The scene from many years ago came to his eyes, his pale and lovely face was bleeding from the whole hole in his chest, and tears left a glimmer of light in the air, like fireflies flying in the night sky.
......
The dry and hard wind blew in his face, and Meng Changfeng slowly opened his eyes, surrounded by darkness that could not be seen. The wounds on his chest and ribs were still in sharp pain, but his body didn't seem to be so weak, but had regained some strength and strength, and he wanted to struggle but couldn't move, as if he was held in place by something solid.
What the hell is this place?
He had dreamed of the fact that after he died, he fell into a bottomless abyss in which lay the bones of those whom he had killed.
A flame suddenly lit up, illuminating his pupils, and a cold flask was handed to his lips, and the person who lit the fire fed him a sip of wine.
"The chief of the purple belt is really powerful, it should be said that your elixir is powerful, and the fatal wounds that penetrate the chest can be healed, and the life of a rich person is really not comparable to that of ordinary people like me. Situ moved the candle to his face, and the faint flame illuminated the handsome face.
Luo Tian is smearing some medicine powder to his wound to treat trauma, although the wound has gradually healed under the effect of Xuandan, but it is always right to apply it, Luo Tian is a good hand in applying medicine and bandages, and he himself is often scarred.
Was pierced through the chest by the long sword, but he didn't die? Meng Changfeng's head was a little dizzy, and he couldn't think clearly for a while. He knew that he had subconsciously avoided his heart and lungs and some important blood vessels when he took out his sword, but the blood puppet was heavy enough to weigh a thousand catties, and it was self-evident that it would end up on himself without the protection of Xuan Li. He tried to move his hands and feet, only to realize that he had been tied with ropes.
"I'm the way I look now, as for me. Meng Changfeng smiled bitterly, "I'm afraid I can't even beat an ordinary adult now." ”
"It's pretty good. You bastard will definitely sell us mercilessly for the sake of profit, or in the name of righteousness. Situ took back the flask and took a sip, "We're in a basement in Caiyi City now, if you don't mind, we can have a few conversations." ”
"Are the people from the Broken Mountain Sect as shameless as you?" Meng Changfeng pursed his lips and motioned to take another sip of wine.
"Is this called shamelessness? You haven't seen me shameless. Situ shrugged, handed the flask over, and fed him a big sip, "And my shamelessness pales in comparison to you, isn't it, Lord Chief." ”
"I'm sorry. Meng Changfeng was silent for a while and said.
"I'm sorry. Situ repeated the sentence.
"You don't have to apologize to me, I really wanted to give up Luo Tian at that time, I have never been the embodiment of justice. As I said, I've killed a lot more people than you might think, and a lot of them are innocent. ”
"Evil Puppet Sect?" Luo Tian asked.
"In addition to them and other forces, there are also our own people, who are called sword ghosts in the Graceless Gate. Meng Changfeng said in a low voice, "The large and small sword paths of the Wu'en Gate are mottled and messy, and before they become one, many avenues that seem to be bright are actually nowhere to go. Therefore, there are many people who choose to fall into the evil path and transform into ghosts, their sword hearts have been polluted, irritable and bloodthirsty, and some people's sword path has even reached the extreme, this is a shame in my sect, it is kept secret, except for the Law Enforcement Hall and the high-level elders, no one knows. But in fact, which of us is not a sword ghost? I am afraid that the people who killed those ghosts are not even half of me. ”
"So what?"
"I'm the current head of the Law Enforcement Hall of the Graceless Gate, and I look glamorous and fighting for justice, but I'm actually a person who has done a lot of evil. If one day I can really wash my hands of gold, I hope to go to the vast north of the Great Qian Empire to be a blacksmith. Meng Changfeng said faintly: "I have learned some sword-forging skills from the Fifth Elder, which is very interesting. ”
"There are ideas, I like it. Luo Tian seemed to have met a "fellow practitioner" expression, and nodded appreciatively.
"If you grow up to be a blacksmith like you, you will be a disgrace to the blacksmith if you say it. Situ Yu raised his sleeve and wiped the blood on his face, "I informed Chu Zhong that he would come here to pick you up." Yuan Xun Xuanzhou has also flown away, and the crisis in Pingyang City has been resolved, you can rest assured. ”
"Thank you. Meng Changfeng was extremely sincere: "If I can, I hope I can have a drink with you then." ”
"Of course, the little brother Luo Tian can also be together. Meng Changfeng raised his head and looked at the young man who had no trace of impurities in his eyes.
"Chief Meng, you only mentioned me now, and I look like a make-up. Luo Tian shook his head, "And I don't like to drink very much, and alcohol can affect my judgment." ”
"I didn't like to drink before, but I had to. Meng Changfeng said softly, "If I don't numb myself with wine, I really don't know if I can survive." I have done much more evil than you imagined, the Law Enforcement Hall is a place that advocates violence, not only us, but the entire Cultivation Realm, whoever is stronger will have a louder voice, this is the law of survival applicable to the entire Cultivation Realm. We live by violence, we belong to a sect, and we must be loyal to it. For the sake of the sect, we sometimes have to attack the innocent, for the sake of the sect, we can sacrifice our companions or ourselves, everyone can be sacrificed, and because of this, everyone under our protection can live better. The essence of this world is cruel, what is the chief of the purple belt is a small sand in front of this huge world, I can't save everyone, so I'm willing to kill people to do evil, if doing evil can make my sect better and stronger, then I will do evil, I am an evil eater, and the title of good guy or bad guy doesn't matter to me. ”
"There is always a need for someone in this world to bear the hypocrisy, otherwise the existence of justice and honor will be meaningless. ”
Situ Yu was silent for a long time, and then straightened up: "If there is a chance, I will." ”
"Goodbye then, have a nice trip. Meng Changfeng said.
"The next time we meet, maybe we will be what our identity is, so we won't say anything else?"
"Don't get involved in this matter, if you can, leave Leiyang County, this matter is not something you can participate in. ”
"Don't talk nonsense!"
"Let's go, if you don't have anywhere to go, I can introduce you to Cangyue Academy. Meng Changfeng said softly.
"Thank you, I'm a swordsman, and the world is home. Situ waved his hand.
The footsteps of Luo Tian and Situ Zheng gradually went away, the footsteps of Chu Zhong were approaching, Meng Changfeng leaned on the floor, and he didn't realize until this time that this was originally a vegetable cellar, and it was full of dust and the smell of soy sauce.
......
......
"Senior brother, you'd better be mentally prepared. Before entering the door, Chu Zhong stopped Meng Changfeng, "The things inside are too ...... It's disgusting, we shouldn't have brought you here right away when you were hurt like this, but the things here are so important that we can't afford to be guilty of concealing the news. ”
"Chu Zhong, I haven't seen it for a long time, when did it become so instigated?" Meng Changfeng frowned.
"I think you'd better listen to him. ”
Two people walked out of the darkness not far away, and they turned out to be Liu Yizhi and the senior brother surnamed Gao.
"Gao Hong, I'm glad you're okay. Meng Changfeng said sincerely.
"I'm fine with Memory, but you don't look like you're okay. Gao Hong worried.
Liu Yizhi was still carrying the royal sword, looking like he didn't know anything, but instead jumped to Meng Changfeng's side and supported him, but he didn't make a sound.
His condition is indeed very bad, but he can barely walk a few steps by holding Liu Yizhi's shoulder. The accompanying Dan Shi treated his wounds, and Chu Zhong hesitated and said There are some important things, senior brother, do you want to go and see them? After a short rest, they came to the location of about ten miles outside Caiyi City, Pingyang City and Caiyi City are a pair of sister cities, both of which are under the jurisdiction of Wuenmen, this is the wordless tacit understanding between the sect and the empire, the sect gives the city protection, the city gives the sect worship and fresh blood, and the court can save some effort. They entered the intersection of the two cities, and walked into an underground passage that even Meng Changfeng didn't know, and finally reached the front of this underground fortress. He already had a rough idea of what was in it, the ground here was full of blood and slime, and there was no doubt that a large number of blood golems had walked here, he originally guessed that the blood golem was in the endless wilderness, but he didn't expect it to be in the middle of the two cities. Those bloodthirsty monsters have existed right under their noses for so long.
"We found this place while searching your location. Chu Zhong said.
"I see. Meng Changfeng stretched out his hand and pushed open the heavy stone door.
Although Meng Changfeng was already prepared in his heart, when he saw this scene with his own eyes, his scalp was numb and trembling slightly. It was a huge cage bound by iron cages, the iron pillars the thickness of an adult's body sealed off the place perfectly, and the smell of blood in the air made it look like a huge prison, or a slaughterhouse. Even more shocking was the clear cage on the other side, sealed by the formation, the cage was full of transparent blood, and the serpentine creatures that still retained their human appearance were constantly spasming and twitching, they had just grown a layer of blue-gray scales, but the claws and giant teeth had already drilled out of their mouths and fingers. These blood puppets have not yet succeeded in mutation, but judging by their appearance, they are much stronger than those that Meng Changfeng encountered before.
Meng Changfeng took the saber from Chu Zhong's hand and pierced the hearts of those blood puppets one by one.
"These things are raised here, and we found a large number of cows, sheep and even human bones, and they were devoured cleanly, and these monsters are hungry and eat everything. Chu Zhong swallowed his saliva, his face a little pale. Even if he has seen a lot of big scenes, he still can't help but want to vomit at this time.
"I guessed it. Meng Changfeng waved his hand and stopped Chu Zhong's words.
This is the blood golem was just an ordinary human before they were born, and the blood of the Blood Emperor made them mutate into this appearance, which also means that they need to supplement a lot of food to maintain their current size and strength. If such a large group of blood puppets are released, they will definitely be slaughtered by those strong people, and by the way, pull out the radish and bring out the mud, and the people behind the scenes don't think about it, the only conclusion is that someone is raising them, just like raising domestic animals.
"Have you found the organization or person responsible for building this underground fortress?" Meng Changfeng asked.
"I've asked, but ...... The stakes are so high that I can't trust my own judgment. Chu Zhong handed the prepared Xuan Ring to Meng Changfeng, "This is all the information and evidence, the person we found only confessed after a little forced confession." Judging from the map, this place does not exist, but it must have been built with the tacit consent of the government, because the people who signaled that the people who built it were not people who could be provoked by the officials......"
"Senior brother, do you want to bring the Taishou of Caiyi City for questioning?" Chu Zhong asked tentatively, "Gao Hong and I will go to the trial, you can listen to it, and within two hours, I can let him spit out everything he knows." ”
"There's no need to go through such a big effort, the Taishou of Caiyi City did acquiesce in the construction of this place, but he can't possibly know what exactly this place was built for. There is only one person who has been quietly running it for so many years, and he can give orders to everyone in Caiyi City and Pingyang City, digging an underground fortress is just a trivial matter. Meng Changfeng said softly, "Go find Elder Chen and say I want to see him." ”
Gao Hong and Chu Zhong glanced at each other and bowed slightly. Before entering the door, Chu Zhong hesitated and said so many words because of the conjecture in his heart, five of the seven swords of Wuen are hidden sect killing weapons, and they have not asked about the world for a long time, and in addition, only the door master, Meng Changfeng and Chen Sheng have the most power. Naturally, they completely believed in the sect master and Meng Changfeng, but they didn't dare to doubt Chen Sheng. Although his age and realm are the youngest among the Seven Swords, he is a great hero of the Wuenmen, it can be said that without Chen Sheng's management, the Wuenmen would not have been able to get to this point, and he played a vital role in the battle against the blood puppet group, so why did he secretly raise these inhumane bloodthirsty monsters?
"Is it here?" Chu Zhong covered his nose, and he almost threw up.
"Go to Caiyi City to find a secret place and prepare two more jars of spirits. Sort out the names of the dead juniors and send them to me, and I will personally erect a monument for them. ”
"Understood. Chu Zhong said in a deep voice.
......
......
The dark clouds over Pingyang City have all dispersed, and the full moon hangs in the sky like a large lamp, emitting a steady stream of gentle silver light.
The five miles of the city of Pingyang have been completely destroyed, and there is no intact place, but on the outskirts of the city, it has not been surprisingly damaged much. The Tangjia teahouse reopened, but the people who had just experienced a catastrophe obviously had no leisure to come to the teahouse to drink tea, so under the blue-gray flag, the door was full of birds, and even the sound of insects could not be heard.
The guys in charge of the shopkeeper seemed to have their own thoughts, one was crackling on the counter, and several guys were squatting on the ground boredly munching on melon seeds, and no one spoke. A white robe appeared at the end of the long street, and it was clear that the man's feet were on the ground, but he looked as if he had come from the sky, like a white crane dancing in the rain. The white robe quietly stopped at the door of the teahouse, and the shopkeeper saw the person's face clearly, it was an extremely beautiful woman, her face was not powdered, but there was a floating breath coming out. After seeing the girl clearly, the shopkeeper Tang's face changed, although he was still wearing the black copper coin clothes of the philistine, but at this moment, he was as tall as if he was standing on the top of the world.
......
The shopkeeper walked to the door and hung up the sign that the business was closed, and the girl passed by him, but their eyes looked in completely different directions. The second floor of the teahouse has been closed, and only a few lanterns in the lobby are lit. The girl in the white robe had already walked into the teahouse to drink tea, and drank cheap and poor tea leaves from a small cup, and the young girl drank it with a rather elegant taste.
"Let's have some refreshments, I heard that you were here, and I rushed over without even eating. The girl in the white robe said.
"You don't have good eyes? I didn't see that the teahouse was closed. ”
"If I don't pay, it's not a business. ”
"Chen Jianxian, apart from your face, your bastard appearance really hasn't changed at all!"
"Come whatever you want, don't pick. ”
"Can you speak politely!" Shopkeeper Tang slapped the table, "I haven't seen you for more than fifty years, can't you, the master of the Graceless Sect, have a little demeanor?!"
"Are you embarrassed to talk about me?" Chen Jianxian's crisp voice resounded around the lobby, "The throne of the dignified shadow, let you invite me to a meal and deduct and search, I'm a girl, where is your demeanor?"
"He used to be the movie king, but now he is just a teahouse shopkeeper. The soup shopkeeper said angrily, "There are only two drawers of buns, pork and celery, do you want to eat them?"
"Pork celery, can your teahouse have a little more taste?" Chen Jianxian's face was full of disgust.
"Isn't it a good match for tasteless buns and tasteless teahouse shopkeepers?" the soup shopkeeper sighed, "I didn't expect you to really find me here." ”
"I came to Pingyang City once in 30 years, but I didn't expect it to be like this now. Chen Jianxian let out a breath, opened the corner of the window in the lobby, and looked at the night scene outside.
"I'm an old ghost, abandoned by this era. Unlike you, who is high-spirited and has been the ruler of Leiyang County for so many years. Several shop guys had been kicked out by the soup shopkeeper, and he put the already heated pork and celery stuffed buns in front of Chen Jianxian.
"Actually, it's not like no one knows that you have opened a teahouse here, didn't that little witch come over and talk to you about a business? Chen Jianxian broke open a bun and took a bite of the half of the steamed bun that exuded heat, "Actually, I know that this street was secretly bought by you, but in someone else's name." ”
The shopkeeper paused slightly to pour the tea, and then pretended to be casual and said: "What are you doing when this big man comes to me? I have no threat or use to you, I am very old, so old that I even live because I am too lazy to die." ”
"The Shadow Emperor doesn't get old, right?" Chen Jianxian said slowly.
"Yes, but Tang Wuying will get old. Tang Wuying, the most powerful throne of the Canglan Empire in the past, had a cold glint flashing in his eyes.
"It's been almost a hundred years since I quit the world, Lord Gate. Shopkeeper Tang frowned an old face, "Those guys from the Evil Puppet Sect erased all traces of me decades ago, and they shouldn't mention me again." These blood golems have nothing to do with me, I just want to take advantage of the opportunity, please don't come and disturb my peace of mind, okay?"
"We're friends, so how can it be a disturbance for friends to visit each other. Chen Jianxian drank a cup of tea and began to process the second bun, not to mention, this pork and celery filling tastes really good.
"Hmph...... Chen Jianxian, you almost didn't kill me directly in order to challenge the strongest throne, and now you actually tell me that the two of us are friends?"
"If you don't do your old friend me a favor, you're in big trouble. Those juniors of yours are playing some dangerous game, and this game has offended me. If I can't find a good way, I'll just continue to do what I was supposed to do decades ago...... Destroy the Cult Puppet. Chen Jianxian bit off half of the bun in one bite, making her small mouth bulge all over, as cute as a squirrel, "You know I'm not threatening you or alarmist, I really did it." ”
