Chapter 243: Life and Death (3)
"The right protector, after repeated investigations, has determined that there is no living ...... in the city"
The night was dark and the wind was high, and the cold wind was whistling past his ears, Feng Yiwu stood alone at the gate of Qingyang Mansion, and his face was full of malaise.
The sky will be bright and the moon will fall on the branches.
"Right Protector, it's almost dawn, it's time for us to go. Someone reminded.
Feng Yiwu took a deep breath, as if he hadn't heard, his slightly narrowed phoenix eyes were still staring at the wide open door of Qingyang Mansion.
"Right Protector, look ......" Suddenly, someone pointed to the dark street behind them and shouted loudly.
In the cold wind, I saw a long wooden stick inserted into the ground, crooked, standing still in the wind, and it looked like a slender crutch from its appearance.
When Feng Yiwu heard this, his brows moved, and he finally looked up at that place.
His vision had always been good, but somehow, today it suddenly became blurry, and the dry corners of his eyes seemed to be filled with mist, as if they could burst out of his eyes at any moment.
He sniffled, his red robe rattling in the wind.
"It's the old man's crutch. Feng Yiwu teleported to the crutch, stretched out his hand and carefully rubbed the texture on it, and finally attached the crutch with both hands and pulled it out of the ground.
The cracks in the road fell into the eyes, and the streets were in shambles, and the dried blood stains were like freshly painted mahogany paint, still emitting a harsh and unpleasant smell.
He gritted his teeth and clenched the crutch left by the old man Qingyang, and said hatefully: "Don't worry, old man, I will avenge you." ”
Xu is the scene when the Phoenix clan was wiped out was too poignant and terrifying, and every time he looked at the bright red bloodstains, he seemed to have returned to that year.
At that time, he was only more than 10,000 years old, and he was still a minor little phoenix, and he suffered the pain of extermination, in order to protect him from the divine realm, his father did not hesitate to use his generous body to block the exit of the divine realm, and won him a chance to escape.
Later, if he hadn't come to the rescue in the dead night, he would have died in the hands of the pursuers from the Divine Realm.
That's why, after all these years, he has remained loyal to Silent Night.
Thinking of this, Feng Yiwu's eyes were already moist.
"Let's go, retreat ......" for a long time, until there was only the sound of whimpering in his ears, he held the crutch that seemed to still have the residual warmth of the old man in Qingyang, and flew away.
......
"Your Excellency ......"
When he returned to the Demon Realm, it was already dark, and after Feng Yiwu dismissed the demon soldiers, he went to the Falling Rain Palace, knelt on the steps covered with thick ice in the Falling Rain Palace, held his cane in both hands, and said expressionlessly: "When I went, Qingyang City had already been slaughtered......
The tone was full of self-reproach.
Silent Night kept watch for the night in front of the bed, for fear that she wouldn't see herself when she woke up, so she didn't dare to sleep all night.
Feng Yiwu's slightly sad voice floated into the hall, lying in front of the bed and watching Yin Zi's sleeping face silent at night, his eyebrows couldn't help but stare at him, his long sleeves flicked, The door of the hall was wide open, his figure flashed, and he came to Feng Yiwu's face, and quickly took the crutch from Feng Yiwu's hand.
After looking at it carefully, he frowned and said, "There is still a soul left on this crutch,"
He cast a spell to unlock the prohibition above, only to see an illusory phantom floating out of it, Feng Yiwu fixed his eyes and saw that it was the old man of Qingyang who had already dispersed.
"Old man. Ignoring the number of courtesies, he hurriedly got up from the ground, walked to the side of Silent Night, and called.
The worried eyebrows and eyes seemed to be shrouded in a layer of gloom that could not be dissolved.
It was more of his guilt for failing to save the innocent lives in Qingyang City in time.
"Boy, the old man knew that you would find it, so long before they attacked Qingyang Mansion, they sealed their soul and soul into this crutch......" The old man of Qingyang, who only had an illusory wisp of phantom, grinned, and didn't seem to blame Feng Yiwu and Yin Zi for his death.
"I'm sorry. Feng Yiwu lowered his head guiltily and said, "If it weren't for me and the Holy Venerable, you wouldn't have suffered this catastrophe." ”
"It's not your fault," said the old man Qingyang, stroking his long gray beard, "Qingyang City will be discovered by the God Realm sooner or later, and your arrival has only brought this extinction forward." ”
"But...... If it weren't for us, you wouldn't have died......" Feng Yiwu said slightly sadly.
"Huh...... Anyway. The old man Qingyang didn't care much and said: "Anyway, the old decay still has this soul, and it is enough to enter reincarnation." ”
"But......" Feng Yiwu still felt guilty.
"Boy, you don't have to blame yourself anymore, I left this last soul and soul of old decay, I have something to say to you......" The old man Qingyang looked at the silent night beside him, and said: "This is the Demon Venerable of your Demon Realm......
"Yes. Feng Yiwu nodded.
"Hmm. The old man of Qingyang praised: "Look at this spirit, it is worthy of being the leader of the party,"
Silent Night hooked his lips, and he didn't feel proud because of the praise of the old man Qingyang.
I only heard the old man Qingyang continue: "This crutch is a void enchantment that little old man has built with all my life's painstaking efforts. As he spoke, he hurriedly cast a small spell, only to see that the ordinary crutch that was originally dull and dull immediately changed its appearance, turning into a black talisman with demonic breath all over his body and engraved with the three big characters of Qingyang City. "After I die, Qingyang City will disappear between this heaven and earth, and the only way to enter and exit this realm is this talisman. Today, I will give it to you......"
The talisman automatically shrunk into a shape that was only the size of a palm, and flew in front of Feng Yiwu, who looked at Silent Night, and only after getting Silent Night's approval did he reach out and take the talisman.
The old man Qingyang said: "When that girl wakes up, she will say sorry to her on my behalf." The old man did not agree with the people of the demon world to move into Qingyang City before, not because of the side, but because of her identity as the flower god on the other side, which would cause trouble, so she was turned away. However, now that the dead are dead, this wish is over, and in the future, whether you are empty, migrating or living, in short, it has nothing to do with the old man. ”
The reason why he stopped it before was because he was the lord of a city, and the lives of the people of the city were at stake, so he had to think carefully. And now he said yes because he was already a dead man, and there were many things that he didn't need to think about anymore.
"Old man...... You ......" Feng Yiwu cried silently.
Before yesterday, he still had all kinds of grievances against this old man he had just met, but now, the guilt in his heart was deepening little by little, and he couldn't breathe.
"However, there is one more thing about the little old man," the old man Qingyang continued: "Yesterday, there were still many people in my city who escaped from Qingyang City, if I am not mistaken, they must be coming towards the Demon Realm, so if they come, please take in the Demon Venerable for a ...... or two" This sentence, he said to Silent Night.
Now that his wish has been granted, he must find a way out for the remaining demons in the city.
Silent Night nodded, the tail of her eyes like silk was picked, and she said lightly: "Don't worry, with Ah Zi here, the deity will not turn them away." ”
"That's good. The old man Qingyang sighed and said, "In this way, I can leave with peace of mind." ”
When the words fell, I saw that the wisps of phantom of the old man Qingyang gradually surged out of the body of a black demonic breath, completely enveloping his transparent figure, and even making the old man Qingyang's wrinkled face gradually change from virtual to real, and then from real to virtual......
"Old man......" Before Feng Yiwu could say in shock, the phantom had already turned into two rays of light and shadow and floated into the void.
Feng Yiwu chased two steps forward, only to hear the silent night say: "His last soul fire has been burned out, you can't catch up with his ......"
"But......" Feng Yiwu stopped his steps, turned his head to look at the silent night and said, "Your Excellency, he ...... Actually, he is a good person. ”
"The deity knows. Silent Night looked up at the sky and said, "It's just that this is his fate." ”
"Damn ......" continued to grieve for a while, and Feng Yiwu scolded: "This matter is all because of Xuanqing, I will kill her to avenge the old man." "And to pay tribute to the seventy-eight thousand one hundred and thirty-three lives that died in vain......
"This matter needs to be considered in the long term. Silent Night said: "Yiwu, if you go to the underworld on my behalf, you will say that Ah Zi has entered the dream realm of the afterlife, and ask Mo Li if there is a solution?!"
"Your Excellency...... Do you believe that the Holy Venerable has entered the dream realm of the afterlife?!" Feng Yiwu asked.
"Hmm. Silent Night nodded: "Her body has always been very good, and she will never wake up after sleeping for so long......"
"So, do you believe it?" Feng Yiwu put the talisman into his arms, thought about it, and felt that something was wrong, so he hurriedly took out the talisman from his arms, handed it to Silent Night and said, "Your Excellency, this is still for you......"
Silent Night just glanced at the talisman lightly, and said, "Since he gave it to you, you can take it, if you don't want it, you can wait for Ah Zi to wake up and give it to her......"
"Oh, good. Hearing the meaning of the silent night, Feng Yiwu had no choice but to put the talisman into his arms, and only hesitated for a long time before he hesitated: "Your Excellency, although you have never believed that the Holy Venerable has true feelings for you, Yiwu still wants to ask you to wait patiently for the day when the Holy Venerable wakes up, and then you will know what is right and wrong, and you don't have to worry about yourself in order to avoid her." ”
"Mouthy. Silent Night glanced at Feng Yiwu coldly, then turned his back, pursed his lips and said, "Go quickly......"
"Yes ......" packed up the lost emotions, Feng Yiwu bowed unhurriedly to the silent night, and then left leisurely.
Goose feathers and heavy snow suddenly drifted in the void where the cold wind was howling, and he stood alone under the eaves of the porch in the silent night, his eyes glowing with charm as if he was infected with a bit of emotional sadness, and he only stared blankly at the ice picks hanging under the eaves.
I don't know if he stood for a long time before he shook his head and sighed and closed the door of the Falling Rain Hall and walked out of the courtyard.
The wind chill of the demon world is as piercing as ever, and walking on the cold and slippery ground in the silent night is like walking on the ground, landing silently.
