Chapter 158: A plan within a plan
She didn't notice that she had already left the path, standing on the gem-paved avenue, and the gray mist surrounded her like a living thing, almost drowning out the figures of both of them.
"Stand down!"
With a majestic whisper, all the gray mist dissipated into the darkness again.
I don't know if it was Tang Zixi's call that played a role, or other reasons, Li Ling on the left finally opened his eyes, looked at the pretty face close at hand, his godless eyes gradually focused, and hissed: "Girl!" After saying this, he seemed very tired, and closed his eyes again.
"It's me, it's me!" Tang Zixi burst into tears, and nodded again and again: "Brother Ling, how are you?"
Li Ling on the right looked up at the sky, seemingly indifferent to the things around him, but if you look closely, you will find that his long nails have long been deeply embedded in the palm of his hand.
Li Ling on the left slowly opened his eyes, looked at the tearful girl, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and his right hand was raised as if he wanted to touch her face, but he found that he couldn't move at all, so he had to give up and said with a smile: "God finally treats me well!"
Tang Zixi grabbed his hand, put it on his cheek, and said with tears in his eyes: "I thought I would never see you again!
"None of that matters. Li Ling on the left exhaled lightly and said, "The important thing is that I can see you again before I die!"
"I don't allow you to talk nonsense, you won't die!" Tang Zixi's heart was sour when she heard this, with Li Ling's current situation, she also knew that she was just talking about a dream, so she just shook her head stubbornly.
Li Ling on the left smiled, and said softly: "Silly girl, how can people be immortal?"
"I don't care, in short, I just won't allow you to die!" Tang Zixi raised his sleeve and wiped a handful of tears, and said, "You promised to take care of me for the rest of my life, you are not allowed to talk and not count!"
Li Ling on the left shook his head slowly, a touch of pain flashed in his eyes, but he quickly said with a smile: "I'm sorry, Brother Ling may have to break his promise this time." The last few words were so low that I almost didn't say anything.
"I don't care!" Tang Zixi said loudly: "Anyway, you promised to do it, this is what you taught me!"
Li Ling on the left closed his eyes, as if he couldn't bear to look at the appearance of the person in front of him, and said in a whisper: "After I am gone, you have to take good care of yourself and live well." Don't be afraid, Brother Su promised me that he would take care of you for me. ”
Tang Zixi straightened his face, looked at him and said word by word: "Listen well, I want you to take care of it! You promised me, I won't allow you to break your word! Otherwise, I will hate you for the rest of my life! You know my temper, you can do what you say!"
Li Ling on the left smiled, stroked her cheek with his right hand, and said with a look of pity: "Silly girl!"
"Brother Ling!" Tang Zixi turned sideways slightly and buried his head in the other party's chest.
"It's really a concubine!"
At this moment, a yin and yang strange voice came from the side.
Tang Zixi raised his head when he heard this, stared coldly at the young man who was looking at the sky with his hands in his hands, and gritted his teeth and said, "You have harmed Brother Ling like this, I will not let you go!"
"It's up to you?" Li Ling on the right let out a mocking mockery, "Now the lives of the two of you are in my hands, if you are obedient, if you dare to go against my will......" Speaking of this, he turned his hand and revealed a dagger.
Tang Zixi hurriedly raised his long sword on guard.
Who knew that he let out a sneer, looked at Li Ling on the ground, and stabbed him in the left shoulder.
"What are you doing?" Tang Zixi was strange, when he suddenly heard a muffled snort from the person in his arms, and when he looked down, he saw that Li Ling's face was pale, and there was already a big hole in his left shoulder, but no blood was flowing out, and he was gritting his teeth in pain, obviously forcibly enduring it.
She was suddenly shocked and angry, and said sharply, "What did you do to him?"
"Is this the attitude you have when you talk to me?" Li Ling on the right raised his dagger and shook it at her, so shocked that Tang Zixi's entire hair stood up, and shouted, "Stop!" Seeing that the other party shook his head slightly, his sword eyebrows raised as if he was about to make a move again, so he hurriedly suppressed his anger and slowed down his tone as much as possible, "What are you coming at me, put down the knife first!"
Li Ling on the right pulled the corners of his mouth and said, "Not sincere enough!"
"You!" Tang Zixi's eyes were about to get angry, but he endured the other party's smiling gaze in the end, and said hatefully, "Please put down the knife first! ”
"That's pretty much it!" Li Ling on the right said with a smile, and after speaking, he grabbed his right hand and directly grabbed a humanoid object out of the gray mist next to him, "Kill him!"
The reason why it is said to be a humanoid object is because this person really can't see what it is. The long hair was piled up in front of him, completely covering his face, his limbs drooped weakly, and the exposed half of his arms were a terrible blue-gray color. If it weren't for the fact that his chest was still rising and falling slightly, it is estimated that Tang Zixi would treat him as a dead man.
I saw her frowning and said, "I have no grievances with him, why should I kill him?"
Li Ling on the right was obviously a little surprised, looked at the person in his hand, suddenly smiled, and said, "Yes, you do have no grievances with him." But if you kill him, I can let your brother Ling live. Otherwise...... "The left hand is a fist, and one palm is slapped on his abdomen."
"Ahh
"Brother Ling!" Tang Zixi exclaimed, "Brother Ling, how are you?" Seeing that he just shook his head painfully, unable to say a word, he couldn't help but raise his head and said angrily, "Why is this happening? What did you do to him?"
Li Ling on the right said triumphantly: "I said, I am Li Ling, and Li Ling is me." If you don't want him to suffer more, kill him quickly!" After saying that, he threw the person in his hand over and fell in front of her with a thud.
Tang Zixi grabbed the long sword without hesitation, got up and walked to the man's side, but hesitated when he was about to stab it. Although she really wanted Li Ling to live, she didn't want to kill innocents indiscriminately. But that Li Ling obviously didn't intend to give her too much time to think about it, and with his movements, Li Ling on the left let out a terrible scream again, and Tang Zixi's heart was like a knife when he heard it.
I don't know where a gust of wind blew from somewhere, and lifted the long hair of the man on the ground, revealing a face that had been swollen to the point of deformation, and with the gray color, it looked extremely terrifying.
"Look at it, your brother Ling won't last long. If you let another man die because you sympathize with him, will your conscience be at ease? What are you still hesitating about, stab hard, you only need a sword, and after a sword you can be together forever......, isn't this exactly what you want?
Li Ling's voice on the right seemed to come from the sky, with a demagogic power. Tang Zixi only felt a buzzing in his head, and all consciousness faded like a tide, leaving only the sound of repeatedly telling her to 'stab down'.
Li Ling on the left struggled to raise his body and said, "Don't!" Unfortunately, his voice was too small, and he was directly drowned in the sea of sounds.
Tang Zixi trembled and raised the long sword again, the screams in her ears were endless, the struggle in her heart was unbearable, she had never hoped that everything in front of her was a dream.
Just when she was on the verge of collapse, a mutation occurred.
The man on the ground suddenly opened his eyes and suddenly bounced off the ground.
Tang Zixi let out an exclamation, the whole person panicked, and didn't know whether to hide or block for a while, just a moment of hesitation, the person had already pounced, and simply crashed into her long sword.
Tang Zixi was stunned, looking at the pair of bright eyes in front of him in a daze, and his mind gradually overlapped with another person: "Gongzi Li?"
It turned out that this seemingly dying man was Li Yu, who had just parted ways before, only to see him smile mysteriously, turn over his hand and throw out a large handful of talismans, then pull out the long sword on his chest, grab Tang Zixi and turn his head and run, and did not forget to stuff a pill into his mouth while running.
"Look for death!" came Li Ling's angry voice from the rumbling crackling sound.
Tang Zixi only felt the wind whirring in his ears, and his whole person was almost blown up, and his mind was in chaos.
It wasn't until he ran into a small temple that Li Yu stopped, let go of Tang Zixi, and sat cross-legged directly to recover his strength. After a while, he saw a large cloud of white mist rising above his head, gradually submerging his figure.
Tang Zixi shook his dizzy head, and finally recovered from the terrible feeling of suffocation. She didn't bother Li Yu, but looked around at her surroundings.
It is a very small temple with almost nothing but the frescoes on the walls. There was also only one crooked incense burner on the only offering table, and the ashes inside condensed into a ball, and it was clear that no one had come for a long time.
Tang Zixi walked to the offering table, straightened the incense burner, and then began to carefully wipe the dust on the offering table.
She was very attentive, just like when she did this at the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple many years ago, but there was a heart full of doubts and anxieties hidden under that seemingly calm face. She had too many questions to ask, but at the same time, she knew that this was not the time to solve her doubts, so in order not to let herself disturb Li Yu's healing, she could only suppress that eagerness and distract herself with other things.
"You don't have anything to ask me, do you?"
I don't know how long it took, Li Yu's familiar voice sounded.
Tang Zixi stopped what he was doing, turned around slowly, looked at the young man who had recovered his appearance and said, "I'm waiting for you to explain!" After speaking, he glanced at the position where the other party was stabbed by the long sword, the hole in his shirt was still there, and the blood stains were faintly visible. Given that the embarrassment of the previous break between the two had not faded, she also endured it and did not ask. I thought to myself, it's a big deal to let him stab back.
Li Yu looked indifferent, shrugged his shoulders, and said, "The matter is very simple, that Li Ling, like me, was controlled by the doppelganger of the Demon Realm Dao Ancestor. ”
"The doppelganger of the Demon Realm Dao Ancestor?" Tang Zixi suddenly remembered the figure standing on the head of the six-winged demon, "You mean Demon Wujiang?"
