Chapter 228: The Body of Iron
Dong Junqin followed behind Ling Yan and slowly approached Ah Lu. The two avoided each other's gaze because of their previous unpleasantness.
Although Ling Yan was strict, he also understood the world, and he knew that the two of them needed a little time, so he took the initiative to speak: "The prince of Nangong is back, I will go back with you first." ”
Alu: "What about Mu Zhufeng and Nanqin?"
Ling Yan: "Mu Jifeng will always stay here to deliver news to us, and Nanqin will follow later." ”
After speaking, the three of them returned to the outskirts of Beijing.
Ah Lu re-possessed Song Jiyue, but this time her state of mind was completely different.
Half-ringing, Ah Lu laughed to herself, no wonder she had attached so many dying people, only Song Jiyue came and went unhindered.
Just as the three of them looked at each other speechlessly, Nangong Jin knocked on the wooden door.
Dong Junqin opened the door and exchanged a look with Nangong Jin. Then Nangong Jin entered the house and said bluntly: "Miss Alu, I want to talk to you alone." ”
Talking alone? Ah Lu was puzzled, but soon saw that she really wanted to talk alone, and the future was always her own business.
After Dong Junqin and Ling Yan went out, Nangong Jin invited her to sit down, and asked while pouring tea, "I heard that you want Shi Shengling to self-destruct?"
Ah Lu was stunned for a moment, and asked rhetorically: "How does the old prince know? Didn't you just come back?"
Nangong Jin: "Dong Junqin told me. ”
When did he say that?
Nangong Jin seemed to see Ah Lu's puzzlement, and then confessed: "When you were in the Netherworld, he told me in his heart. I hope I can persuade you. ”
Oh, I see. But at this point, there is nothing to advise.
Nangong Jin: "He doesn't want you to give up this method...... Just ......"
Ah Lu: "Just what? Tell Shi Shengling the truth and shake his heart, this sentence was proposed by himself. I'm just going one step further than that, and I'm just done.
Back then, Chongyun, from the time he discovered the creatures in the stone to the end of falling into the ground with the gods and demons, there was so much time and so many opportunities, because of his own reluctance and soft-heartedness, which led to the current predicament.
As for us, maybe it's because we know that we can't destroy the stone creatures, or maybe it's because everyone is subconsciously afraid that I, the remnant soul of the stone creatures, will be injured because of this, so we don't dare to be ruthless from beginning to end, and always want to leave a little leeway.
But what about the result? Maybe I'm innocent, maybe you're innocent, but who isn't innocent. The twists and turns can only be the same as Chongyun at the beginning.
Old prince, this matter should be completely over. I don't want to be left to the possibility of waking up again and drifting again. I don't want to have a chance to repeat it all again. It's been three hundred years, I've been floating for three hundred years, although I've been watching from the sidelines for three hundred years, but compared to the stone creatures, compared to the ...... Compared to many people who can't live long and can't be free, it's enough. ”
Nangong Jin looked at Ah Lu's eyes that were gradually reddening, and sighed in his heart.
Dong Junqin and Ling Yan overheard Ah Lu's words elsewhere, and they were silent for a long time.
In the end, it was Ling Yan who took the lead in speaking: "Fang is just in the Infernal Hell, she blames you for being weird." ”
Dong Junqin: ......
Ling Yan: "Her words to the prince of Nangong, in my opinion, really look like your style. ”
Dong Junqin: ......
Ling Yan: "I'm not mocking you, you and that girl are also of the same heart, you know very well that she is telling the truth, and what she is going to do next is also correct." There is only a 1 in 10,000 chance of protecting her, and the worst outcome is that you and him will die together. You have to think about it. ”
After a long time, Dong Junqin spoke: "I have already thought it through. Since she walked this path because of me in the first place, it should be me who sent her back now. ”
Nangong Jin got Dong Junqin's heart, raised his head and said to Ah Lu: "Girl, I know your determination very well. I'm not going to advise you to give up or think of something else, but I have a suggestion that I hope you get through. ”
Ah Lu finally met a refreshing person, so she sat upright: "Old prince, please speak." ”
Nangong Jin: "I suggest that you bring another person into the stone, and let this person help you maintain your mind as Ah Lu." ”
Hearing this, Ah Lu blinked: "Old prince...... You don't want me to take Dong Junqin, do you?"
Nangong Jin nodded. Faced with Ah Lu's reluctance, he didn't explain much, but just asked him: "Girl, there are indeed many things in this world that can only be solved by yourself, but this does not mean that others can't help at all. The so-called working together is for better results. ”
Nangong Jin's meaning, Ah Lu understood.
But thinking of the way Di Yu finally exploded into dust, Ah Lu really didn't dare to let Dong Junqin go in together.
Watching a creature dissipate is definitely not a comfortable thing.
Nangong Jin saw Ah Lu's hesitation, so he put aside his feelings and reasoned with her: "Of course, if you just don't want Dong Junqin to go with you, then I or Ling Yan, as well as Qin and Mu Jifeng, any of us are willing to replace him." It's just that the person who entered the stone with you should be able to stay awake at all times, not be affected by the stone creatures, and at the same time have enough cultivation to summon you back to God when you are shaken.
Maybe in terms of cultivation, we are all the same. But on the will...... I mean your will, and I think you know it yourself. ”
Of course Alu knew. The last time she came out of the underground palace, Dong Junqin had already put her under house arrest in a big way. In terms of will and obsession, only Dong Jun can do it.
Nangong Jin: "You don't have to think too badly. Dong Junqin and you entered the stone with you not like Emperor Yu. It's just that because you don't have a primordial spirit, you are easily affected by the stone creatures, and in order to prevent you from being assimilated, he only needs to be able to contain your soul in the energy periphery of the stone creatures. ”
They didn't know that Ah Lu had already recovered the half of the Yuan Spirit. It stands to reason that she should say it clearly, but Song Jiyue is no one else, and if this fact is said, the impact will be immeasurable.
Aru: "What if I'm not a remnant, but a remnant?"
"Girl...... Why do you ask that?" Nangong Jin was a little puzzled, "Could it be ......?"
Unsuspectingly, Ah Lu hurriedly shook his head: "I just want to know if there is a difference between having a spirit and not having a spirit." ”
Nangong Jin: "As far as I know, if only one part of the Yuan Spirit is suffering after the split, then the rest will not be happy. Unless it is a spirit extinguishment, the remaining primordial spirits will undergo sleep and self-repair. But it takes ...... time It can be long. Therefore, at the beginning of the establishment of the mortal realm, the heavenly immortals would use the Chaos Stone to restore all souls. However, the situation of the stone creatures may be different. Girl, you?"
After careful consideration, Ah Lu decided to hide it: "Oh, it seems that the result is similar if there is no half of the Yuan Spirit." In that case, I have nothing to worry about. Okay, I'll go in with Dong Junqin. ”
Hearing this, Nangong Jin finally breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, when they were about to go to Dong Junqin for a detailed discussion, Nanqin came back.
Walking out of the courtyard, Ah Lu saw that the Dong family was invited out one by one by the officers and soldiers.
At this time, Dong Junqin also heard the voice: "General Zhou, what's wrong?"
General Zhou: "Zhantian Pavilion has found that there is a disaster star in the southeast of the capital, and I am afraid that there will be a natural disaster soon." Your Majesty ordered me to take Master Dong and everyone in your mansion to take refuge in the underground palace. ”
Dong Junqin looked at Ah Lu, Ah Lu sensed it and nodded at him: Shi Shengling did start to be restless again.
Nanqin came for this reason: "When I came here just now, the gate formation was no longer workable. It's probably because of the stone creatures. The Demon City Guardians have sent the Demon Clan to the Netherworld. We're going to hurry back. ”
Everyone looked at Ah Lu, Dong Junqin's nervousness, Dong's father's worries, Dabao's worries, and everyone's expectations.
Ah Lu took a deep breath and walked towards Father Dong: "Uncle, Miss Song's body, I can't return it for the time being." But I'm sure I'll bring her back safe and sound. ”
Strange to say, Dong's father has only known Ah Lu for a year and a half, but he believes Ah Lu's words very much, and even trusts him more than his son.
Dong Junqin didn't step forward to say anything, just made a big salute. Father Dong looked at it, with mixed feelings in his heart, and finally just nodded and waved his hand.
Three edges pierced the growing gray of the sky.
They went all the way to Luozhou, and finally had to stop in front of the entrance of the ghost market due to the influence of Shi Shengling. However, now not only is the Gate Array Edgeworth restricted, but even the entrance to the Ghost Market is sealed.
Dong Junqin and Ling Yan looked at it and said, "It doesn't seem to be because of Shi Shengling, it's the demonic qi ......."
Ling Yan: "When the demon clan enters the ghost market, there may be a conflict in the breath. If so, don't do it, just wait a while. ”
Aluda was not at ease, and tried to send a message to the bald. Fortunately, the distance was close, and the message between the two of them would not be detected by Shi Shengling.
Nanqin: "What do you say?"
Ah Lu: "The guards of the Demon City, as well as the Divine Dragon, tied up the King of Yama and pressed them to make a raw stone. Multiple forces mixed and accidentally topped the entrance of the ghost market. Baldness, let's not act rashly, wait for him to reply. ”
The five of them had nothing to do all of a sudden, and in order to relieve their anxiety, Nanqin proposed to sit in the teahouse by the river.
Dong Junqin was anxious and didn't dare to sit down, so he silently stayed at the entrance and didn't follow.
On the contrary, Ah Lu sat down with Nanqin like no one.
Half-loud, Nangong Jin and Ling Yan couldn't stand it, and they paced to Nanqin's side. But when I looked down, I saw that Nanqin's face was full of anxiety, and her chest kept rising and falling.
Ling Yan wanted to ask, but he and Nanqin were not very familiar with each other, in case the question was wrong, there could be no fault at this critical juncture.
Fortunately, Ah Lu patted Nanqin and consciously stood up and walked towards the entrance of the ghost market.
Dong Junqin felt a familiar breath, and his heart tightened suddenly. After a long silence, he took the initiative to speak: "I'm sorry." ”
In the past hundred years, no one has ever said the word "sorry" to her. At first glance, it really gives me goosebumps.
But after listening to other people's excuses, it seems rude not to reply to something. So Ah Lu held back a question: "Dong Junqin...... You...... Why do you have to live?"
Ah Lu's question caused Dong Junqin's whole body to stiffen, and then he looked at Ah Lu with almost disappointed eyes and asked, "Don't you want to live yourself?"
Aru: "I want to, but ...... It seems like you want more than I do. ”
Alui thought it was because she didn't know there was another way. She is not trapped like Shi Shengling, nor is she like Song Jiyue, who has more than enough heart but not enough strength, she has been floating without heart and lungs for hundreds of years, and she has also enjoyed hundreds of years of freedom.
Dong Junqin sighed in his heart, Ah Lu's heart has grown for so long, and it can't grow after all. Perhaps for her, all the nostalgia for the past is only a little bit.
A little bit, yes, it's good, it's really not good, then forget it.
But that's not the case with people. Any living being will have desires, this is true of Ningxi, Chongyun, and Shi Shengling. But unlike them, we don't have a long time, and we don't have boundless power. Life is limited, ability is limited, and everything is limited, so I naturally want all my hopes to be realized, and all the people and things I cherish can be by my side. It's like the Huangfu Gravel, just like the Xiahou Mansion. If we can afford to wait, who needs Ningxi's power?" Dong Junqin said, lowering his head and staring at the entrance of the ghost market that was gradually opening, "Immortals are really not kind to create people. Obviously, everything is limited, but desire is boundless. ”
Dong Junqin was sad, and Ah Lu felt it. She understood a little, but the bitterness in her heart was far greater than Alyu herself realized.
Could it be that this is Song Jiyue's heart?
Ah Lu looked at the entrance of the ghost market that had been opened again, feeling the breath of the stone creatures flickering and weak. She remembered that when they originally planned to find the stone, she wanted to find the Yuan Ling reincarnated as a human, and he wanted to get the stone to cure Song Jiyue's soul loss.
And now, in fact, it is almost there.
As long as Ah Lu destroys Shi Shengling, and at the same time keeps Song Jiyue's Yuan Ling, and sends her back to her body, then her and Dong Junqin's wishes will come true.
The people of Luozhou after the five people went to Xuanmen near Luozhou one after another. The alarm in the capital has been distributed to all places, and all sects and factions must contribute to help, and if they really can't do it, they will hide in the old sites attached to each Changshengtai.
Ah Lu looked at the four of them, and everyone looked at her too. It wasn't until the bald signal was transmitted that Alu made up his mind.
The lively ghost market was gray at this time, and Ah Lu saw a lot of dissipating souls. When they arrived at the Infernal Hell, the Ten Hall Yamas were sitting around the Stone, preventing it from forming stones.
There were already many demon corpses lying beside Mu Baofeng, he looked at Nanqin, and Nanqin nodded.
Nanqin: "Alu, are you sure?"
Ah Lu laughed dryly: "Dong Junqin, if we can all come back completely, you can take me back to being a serious person." ”
Dong Junqin held Ah Lu's hand: "I will definitely come back." ”
Ah Lu smiled at him, although it was Song Jiyue's appearance now, Dong Junqin could smell his familiar breath through that face.
After looking at each other, Ah Lu left Song Jiyue's body and handed her over to Nanqin to protect.
At the same time, Ling Yan and Nangong Jin opened a huge illusion. Enchantment and illusion are the same source spell, only this time, the enchantment follows them, and the illusion follows Aru.
Dong Junqin accompanied her to the periphery of the Shengsheng Stone. Ah Lu took out his "hand" and walked into the world of stone creatures again alone.
Shi Shengling has been waiting for her: "You're still back." What lie are you going to make up this time?"
Ah Lu looked at Shi Shengling calmly and said, "Haven't you always wanted to see what the outside world is like?"
"What, you've figured it out, you're going out with me?" Shi Shengling was interested, and approached Ah Lu as he spoke.
Alyu: "Yes, but I'm afraid you'll stay in the rocks for too long and won't be able to adapt to the outside." So, would you like to take a look at it first?"
Shi Shengling didn't understand what Ah Lu meant: "What are you looking at?"
Ah Lu has now swallowed Song Jiyue's Yuan Ling, returned to the suburbs of Beijing from the ghost city, and then returned to the ghost market from the suburbs of Beijing, and she has already controlled eighty percent of the way.
Now she is the same as Shi Shengling, they can see through each other.
Ah Lu turned out all her memories in the past three hundred years, and Shi Shengling had to look at them one by one.
The world she saw was nothing to be nostalgic about. She wakes up in darkness, and the first thing she learns is death. Most of what she saw was life and death, joys and sorrows.
Alu: "Do you see that? This is the reality. The young man is not met, the middle-aged family is scattered, the old man has no one to rely on, and no one remembers the death. Everything you think is good should be done carefully, and everything you think will last is fleeting. ”
Shi Shengling knew very well that Ah Lu couldn't lie to her, her memories were not controlled by anyone, and she couldn't fool her. But he had never heard of these things, he had never known.
Ah Lu once heard Dong Junqin say such a sentence: If you read the flowers, the flowers will bloom, and the mourning leaves will wither, and only those with good intentions can see the beauty of heaven and earth, so Shi Shengling can hear a beautiful world from Chongyun's mouth, even if there is sadness, anger and hatred, he probably won't take it to heart.
But it's probably like a person who is faint with thirst, even if he gives him water, he only feeds it little by little, and pouring it violently like Allu, and even adding a little poison to it, will only make the hungry and thirsty stone creatures unbearable.
Dong Junqin gradually discovered that something was wrong on the periphery. Allu has been floating for three hundred years, even if she doesn't have a long heart, she can't only have those bad memories, she just thinks that these are not trying to provoke Shi Shengling? And Alu has no Yuan Spirit, Shi Shengling has tried to influence her, but she is strong when she is strong?
It's not the same as what they said before. Dong Junqin clenched the soul bell and began to suspect that Ah Lu was not telling him the truth.
On the other side of the stone life, Alyu's dark memories forced him to be angry. He yelled at her, "You don't want to lie to me! This world can't be like this......! Chongyun said......"
Ah Lu finally waited for him to take the initiative to mention Chongyun: "Yes, the world that Chongyun sees is indeed not like this. But that world was ruined by you. ”
Shi Shengling was stunned: "You are talking nonsense......"
Ah Lu took advantage of the stone life's shaking spirit and rushed towards him.
At this time, Dong Junqin, who was staying outside, said: "Ah Jun, what's the situation inside, why did Shi Shengling start sucking living beings so quickly?"
Dong Junqin was shocked, he didn't know that the ghosts outside were already roaring, not only the original ghosts of the Netherworld, but also those who were forcibly brought down from the mortal world. But Dong Junqin saw it very clearly, Shi Shengling did not make a move.
It's Aru?!
Sure enough, when Dong Junqin strengthened his heavenly eye, he saw that Ah Lu's right hand had been outlined by the leftovers, and the energy flowing in the leftovers was extremely huge.
It's impossible, Ah Lu doesn't have a primordial spirit, and it's impossible to control so many spirits!
Dong Junqin couldn't sit still, he stood up and wanted to enter the world of stone creatures.
However, a powerful spiritual wave suddenly erupted from the stone spirit's end.
Dong Junqin summoned the Burial Soul, and the long sword was deeply pierced into the Creation Stone, becoming Dong Junqin's pillar, and at the same time, he manipulated the Burial Soul to intercept those souls that were about to be sucked by Ah Lu.
Shi Shengling was forced by Ah Lu to see everything that happened on the day Chongyun "killed" him.
He saw those immortals seriously injure himself again and again, he saw that he believed that Ning Xi had summoned demons, and he also saw Chongyun exhaust everything he had to appease his mania, but in the end, he used Ning Xi's energy to overflow the Creation Stone and injured Chongyun.
Ah Lu: "You think about it now! You hurt Chongyun!"
Shi Shengling: "He refused to save me! He wanted to kill me! He betrayed me!"
Even the immortal Na Ming Bo can only scatter you, and only turn you into countless small spirits. Only such a tiny spirit can exist in the world, he just wants to let you go, but you borrowed the power of Ningxi to ruin all his plans!"
"So what!" Shi Shengling's eyes were red at Ah Lu, and a huge force pushed Ah Lu away, "Xiao Ling? Heh, Xiao Ling, countless little spirits, let me split into countless little spirits, I won't be me." What's the difference between this and killing me!
Alu: "The difference is big! Stone creatures, if you want to live, you have to die in this world, and in the end all you get is chaos, a chaos that is only you." There is no Chongyun, and there is no world you want to see!"
Shi Shengling didn't want to listen to Ah Lu anymore, and he repelled Ah Lu with a fierce attack.
Although Song Jiyue's Yuan Ling was the original match, it had been weak for many years after all, and it couldn't withstand Shi Shengling's attack all of a sudden, and split with Ah Lu's remnant soul.
Shi Shengling recognized the Yuan Ling he had left behind for many years at a glance, and he laughed out loud angrily: "Look at what gifts you have brought me! Come back, as long as you all come back, even if it is chaos, I am not alone! I can hold your memories and wait for a new world to appear." ”
The soul bell jingled non-stop, and Ah Lu's scattered soul gathered again with the soul bell.
Her heart fluttered, and she let go of her hand, trying to suck the entire heaven and earth creatures into her soul.
Shi Shengling found out that Ah Lu wanted to swallow the energy alone, so he also began to suck the living creatures.
Outside the Stone, thousands of creatures flew to the Stone like a swarm of wasps. Some of the people of the mortal realm lost their breath in their sleep, and some stopped their hearts in fear.
It's like it's frozen.
Dong Junqin could no longer stay out of the matter, and he rushed into the world of stone creatures, trying to summon back Ah Lu's sanity.
But as the stone creatures looked up to the sky and asked why, the stone was finally broken.
Seeing the catastrophe, the dragon immediately ascended to the sky to attract mines to the sky, trying to wake up the sleeping gods.
Ah Lu turned into a huge and terrifying phantom, and came face to face with the equally swollen stone creature: "Why? You still don't understand? Since you are an iron and stone body, you shouldn't have a soul and a long heart!"
Hearing this, Shi Shengling vented all his grievances for ten thousand years hoarsely, and then he opened his eyes and saw the world outside the stone he was in, and there was a dead silence.
Ah Lu sneered: "I didn't lie to you. Stone creatures, this is where we belong. Forever gloomy, forever celibate. If I were you, I'd rather hold on to my illusions forever. ”
Seeing is believing, Shi Shengling was suddenly deflated. And Ah Lu concentrated all his energy on himself, and took advantage of the fragility of the stone creature to pounce on him.
The moment the two collided, something seemed to be torn apart, but a familiar bell converged it.
Ah Lu's consciousness flickered, she seemed to see Dong Junqin's figure, he was rushing towards her, and then hugged her.
Feeling Dong Junqin's popularity, Ah Lu thought, in fact, she was a little reluctant.
She wanted to say thank you to Dong Junqin, thank him for holding her in Changyu that day, making her a remnant soul, and the only one among the three of them who saw the so-called world.
It's a pity that there is not enough time, Ah Lu couldn't say thank you, he could only hold the sword in Dong Junqin's hand and tell him intermittently: "Kill me!"
Dong Junqin shook his head frantically, this was not the result he wanted.
Unfortunately, things change quickly, and not every time he is given time to think of countermeasures. Just like Ah Lu didn't give him a chance, with the absolute advantage of the power of eternity, she held Dong Junqin's hand and pierced the burial soul into her Yuan Soul soul.
Then everything stopped, the memory was reversed, the spirit returned, the dust fell, and the clouds dispersed.
Infernal Hell kept sinking for some reason, and Mu Jifeng wanted to pull Dong Junqin back but was a step too late, and watched him and Shi and Ah Lu being buried under the ground.
