Chapter 362: On the Star Picking Stage
The unitary hour is approaching, twilight falls, and the setting sun sends off the returning birds.
At sunset, a narrow path leads to the top of the star-picking platform, with only a lone old tree along the way, lined with tombstones.
The dead grass at the head of the grave swayed in the wind, and the surrounding branches and leaves rustled like the roar of a ghost.
Suddenly, there was a terrible owl howl, which frightened the princess of all saints, and hurriedly hid behind Hua Ruwolf.
Princess All Saints still felt the wind gusting and couldn't help asking, "What the hell is this place?"
Yang Xiao continued: "You're right, this is where the dead ghosts sleep. ”
Hua Ruwolf said: "There was originally a tower built by the king of Shang for Su Daji. Legend has it that the tower was high enough to touch the stars in the sky, hence the name "Star Picking Tower". Later, the warrior king came to the court song, the king committed suicide on the top of the building, the star picking tower collapsed, and only one earth platform remained at the foundation of the rammed earth, which became a cemetery called 'star picking platform'. ”
Yang Xiao asked curiously: "Why do you want to make an appointment to duel in the cemetery? Could it be that it is to facilitate the direct burial of the loser?"
Hua Ruwolf explained, "This is the place where Sister Mu and Master met for the first time. There used to be a 'Qingling Temple' with a flourishing incense on the star-picking platform, and the master was the god fox master in the temple. One day, Sister Mu suddenly came to Qingling Temple to find an old Taoist and killed all the fox demons who confused the people here. Now, all that's left is a pile of rubble. ”
The four children said as they walked, and after a cup of tea, they had come to the top of the star-picking platform, and saw Jin Zhen, Yinlin, and the Hundred Eyes Demon Monarch, and the three of them had already arrived.
Under the fiery red sky in the distance, Mu Lingyu faced the remnant sun, and her snow-white clothes were reflected in the sunset into bright red, I don't know how long I waited.
Yang Xiao said: "Wow! That sister is so beautiful!"
Yuan Sheng said: "That's my wife? than I imagined...... And pretty!"
Hua Ruwolf nodded, and couldn't help but think of the picture of Mu Lingyu protecting herself under Jiang Xuan's hands, and a long-lost sense of intimacy arose, and she couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "She really hasn't changed at all." ”
Seeing that Hua Ruwolf was also staring at Mu Lingyu in a daze, the Princess of All Saints pursed her lips and said with a little jealousy, "Hmph, what's there." I think it's ordinary. ”
Yuan Sheng said: "Little junior sister, your eyes ...... Isn't there a problem?"
Yang Xiao said: "The river demon distinguishes between beauty and ugliness, which is naturally different from us. She should like that...... The head is a type of yellow eel head. ”
Yuan Sheng couldn't help but sneer, while Yang Xiao laughed unscrupulously.
"Don't laugh!" Princess Wansheng stomped her foot angrily, pointed at Yuan Sheng's nose, and said with a thin sneer: "Even you...... Even you dare to say that about me!"
Yuan Sheng knew that he had said the wrong thing, so he hurriedly smiled and said, "Little junior sister, you must look better in the future, don't be angry." ”
Princess All Saints said, "I'm not angry! Why should I be angry?"
"yes, why be angry, I'm just telling the truth. Yang Xiao smiled evilly.
Obviously, these children do not yet fully understand the dire situation that is now underway.
"These little kids, at a time like this, can still laugh!" the Hundred Eyes Demon Lord furrowed his brows.
Jin Zhen and Yinlin looked up solemnly, and they looked up in unison, and a wine gourd the size of a small boat flew in the sky.
The four children suddenly quieted down, and they all turned their heads to look, only to see Su Ji empty-handed!
The onlookers didn't see Su Ji's weapon, and they couldn't help but look at each other.
Su Ji knew their doubts in his heart, because he was facing the same doubts just now.
Taiyin said yesterday that he would build a weapon overnight, but the next morning, he didn't take out any weapons, but out of nowhere, he got a spell that was awkward. The method of exhalation taught by the incantation has nothing to do with cultivation or skill, it is simply a set of methods for controlling and using the breath, but it is strange and abnormal, and it is very different from the way of practicing qi in the world.
If it is changed to an ordinary formula, Su Ji only needs to glance at it, and he can recite it backwards.
However, Taiyin didn't know where he suddenly got the formula, and some strange words were connected all over his body, and the sound suddenly became extremely strange. Su Ji tried to read it just now, but his tongue was over, and he couldn't read it anymore.
Su Ji used the pressed time to try to go through those spells in his mind over and over again, thinking that he could understand them. But as soon as I opened my mouth to read silently, I would still stumble, and I tried several times in a row, not only was the mantra incomplete, but I couldn't even breathe smoothly, and my chest was so depressed that I felt uncomfortable, and I realized the evil door of this mantra.
On the way here, Su Ji began to understand a little, it turned out that this mantra was not only as simple as memorizing it, but also needed to master the method of breathing and breathing.
So, as he spoke, he was adjusting his breathing according to the mantra method, trying to adapt to that method, but this adaptation would take a little time to complete.
At this time, with heavy steps, Su Ji walked towards Mu Lingyu step by step.
Looking at the two of them at sunset, Yuan Sheng sighed: "Master and Master are really a good match. ”
Hua Ruwolf said: "Although the master is not as young as before, his demeanor is not inferior to that year. ”
Yang Xiao looked around at the two people at sunset and said, "Don't say it, the two of them are standing together, and they really have husband and wife." ”
Wan Sheng Gong couldn't help but nod his head as well.
For the first time, the views of the four children were agreed.
Mu Lingyu faced Su Ji and said, "If you want to stop me from continuing to kill, you must kill me today, just as I must kill you if I want to take revenge." The family hates the country, and there must be an end. You do it. ”
"Isn't there any other choice?"
"What other choice can you have? Forgive your father-killing enemy, can you do it?"
Su Jijian's eyebrows frowned slightly, "I can do it......"
"I can't do it!" Mu Lingyu raised his voice and said, "Your father admitted in front of me that he planned the death of everyone in the Mu family, just to change the peace of the Zhou room." Now it's time for the family to pay off their debts! Actually, I should have killed you with a sword when I first saw you, didn't I?"
"Not bad. ”
"It's not too late to do it now. Mu Lingyu's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and a sword aura was condensed in his left hand.
At this time, Su Ji's voice came from Taiyin's ears: "Senior nephew Ji, you still need a little time, and it's not yet hot." ”
Su Ji faced Mu Lingyu and continued: "Miss Mu, even if we fight to the death, we still can't change anything. ”
Mu Lingyu said: "You can put down anything now, of course you can say that." What about me? My master is gone, my uncle is gone, and I can no longer tolerate teaching and interception. Where do I go from here?"
"You can live with me in Yunmeng Mountain, as long as you are willing to come with me. ”
Mu Lingyu's eyes lowered, paused, and said, "What's the use of talking about this now, none of us can avoid it." It's all providential. ”
Su Ji lowered his head, a painful spasm swept across the corners of his mouth, his eyelids trembled slightly, and he murmured, "...... It's too much of a resemblance. ”
"What?"
"You and my mother are really too similar, whether it is the decision made now or the words spoken at that time......" Su Ji looked at Mu Lingyu's eyes, "You're right." We should have an end, but until then...... Miss Mu, are you willing to marry me?"
As soon as she blurted out, Mu Lingyu's eyes opened slightly, and she felt that her heart had been poked with a sword, and the stinging pain of the wound continued to expand, and she expanded into a sad emotion. Wuzi stood in the wind, motionless like a clay sculpture, unable to say a word, only looking into Su Ji's eyes.
There was a little less frivolity in those eyes, a little more maturity, as if they had been weathered, but tender like water.
At this time, Hua Ruwolf said: "Master already knows Sister Mu's intentions, since we can't be together in life, we just want to be able to rely on each other after death." ”
Yang Xiao looked at the excitement and whispered: "They shouldn't want to worship and marry here, right?"
Yuan Sheng said: "Since you want to be together, why do you have to fight to the death?"
Looking at Mu Lingyu, who was hesitant, Princess Wansheng couldn't help but say anxiously for her: "If you want to say it, say it quickly! Why don't you say it?"
Mu Lingyu's lips opened slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but she wanted to say something, she tried to suppress the impulse in her heart, and bit her red lips stubbornly, if she had a choice, she would rather not know this man.
However, it was already too late.
In the end, she looked at Su Ji and shook her head.
