57. There is nothing in all things
The early passage was extended and connected with the rest of the underground corridors that had already existed, but Dong Zeqi could still smell the blood of Leonses, and he was still on the run, but he couldn't escape after all. When he is injured, he will be overtaken by Dong Caiqi.
But he is still on the run, fleeing the inevitable reckoning and death.
Dong Caiqi knew that he was also on the run, fleeing from Wu Qi, fleeing from killing, fleeing from love, and escaping from reality.
Flee from everything you know all your life, the desire you want to look forward to all your life, indulge in the pursuit and killing, and become a puppet of the wandering sand.
She could faintly feel that at the end of the path, above the layer of sand, something awaited her?
Why did she think of dying? She lived in the world, and there was so much to do. Snake City, Forsaken People, Eyes of Strange Beasts, Missing Lover, Wu Qi's Love, she has countless reasons to live.
But the pessimistic thoughts that came out of her heart, and from the desert of her barren and desolate heart, grew into a forest, it was not like a whim, or a nightmare, but more like some kind of omen.
Thinking about it like this, she should have died a long time ago.
That was when the Eye of the Beast slaughtered her subjects, when she banished the young tigermen, when she quietly broke her oath and killed the masters of the Ghost Tiger Sect, and when she spent money and money building the Temple of the Serpent Emperor Hades.
That was when Senior Brother Pan disappeared.
No, perhaps in the earlier past, when she was trapped under the rubble on an expedition against the snake, trapped internally and externally, and crushed under the rubble, at that time, the former Dong Caiqi was already dead. Yes, yes, at that moment, it was not the original me who was reborn from the ruins, but some ghost, some lonely soul, who only fantasized about her life because of her love for the coil.
No wonder since then, when I look at the face of this world, I often feel alienated and sad, because I was dead at that time.
For more than 20 years, I have been cursed for every day I lived. Like Leonses, who was desperate at the moment, he was bleeding and exhausted, but he still managed to survive.
Under the sand, in the path, like earthworms, like rats, they live.
She bit her lip again, trying to prove that this pessimistic thought was the spell of the wandering sand, but it lingered, and Dong Caiqi realized that this was not a curse, but an epiphany.
As the road rose, Leonsis began to dig upwards, and Dong Zeqi accelerated in pursuit, and with a sound of sand, he finally saw the light of day.
But the ball hanging in the sky is not the sun, but seems to be more magnificent than the sun by the eye, as if the sun has sunk into the dark red blood water, deprived of light and scorching heat, but the blood water has steamed and turned into ugly and bewitching clouds.
The real wandering sands have finally arrived.
She soon saw that the cloud was blood-red sand, and that the sky, in mid-air, and on the ground were full of red sand, and that the wind had become a red-black pillar, spiraling up, and joining with the wandering sand, like an iron ball that binds a prisoner, and like an octopus stretching out its rope hand.
Dong Caiqi often listens to Buddhist scriptures: "The kingdom of heaven is temporary, auspicious clouds are like cars, thousands of dragons are horses, the glow is thousands, the Buddhas are all over the sky, and the rose petals are sprinkled to lead." She had imagined how wonderful it would be, but now the situation is similar to what the Buddhist scriptures describe, but it can't be called beautiful at all.
Through the wind and sand, she saw the corpses on the ground under the red ball, about a thousand people, and if she looked closely, Leonsis also fell in it, from the head to the lower abdomen, and was cut in two.
Dong Caiqi was born with the sorrow of the rabbit and the fox, and this wicked man consumed his life and escaped from her hands, but finally died at the hands of others.
Beside his corpse sat a man who was red with blood and could not see his face, but it was not a corpse. He opened his eyes and looked at Dong Caiqi, his eyes were cold and persistent, and he couldn't describe it in words.
Dong Caiqi was excited, hateful, and fearful, but also relieved, and the wandering sand poured the killing momentum into her brain, and as her numbers plummeted, her desire and greed grew a hundredfold.
Kill him, kill this last adversary, and the wandering sands will grant divine power.
The man spoke, his voice like dry blood, terrifying and withered, and he said, "The Snake Emperor works together?"
Dong Caiqi recognized who he was, it was Canghu, Wu Qi's disciple, and the general of the end of the world. He was undoubtedly also chosen by the wandering sand, stepping on the corpses of more than a thousand strong men to come close to the wandering sand.
What a chance, he's killed a lot of masters, and he's tired. Like a hibernating bear, waiting for the alert hunter to cut his throat and skin it.
The blue fox carried a long sword, and the tip of the sword slashed across the sand, rustling, and he was so tired that he could barely straighten his waist.
Dong Caiqi thought to himself, "Why do I have to kill him? Even if I want to kill him, I must not be invincible." But this idea is extremely weak and does not make waves.
With a plop, the fox fell to the ground, and Dong Caiqi approached quickly, resisting the idea of killing him with a sword.
Suddenly, a hundred sword lights were dense like a net, covering her, Dong Caiqi's arm changed into a group of snakes, facing the sword net, in the click, the snake group was cut off the head, Dong Caiqi had a pain in his abdomen, and his body floated backwards.
In the blood rain, the fox stood with his head held high, grinning with teeth, his strength was still sufficient, he showed weakness before, but it was just an illusion, he laid a trap in an instant with a phoenix split, if Dong Caiqi reacted a little slowly, he had been cut into pulp.
Dong Caiqi shouted, "General Canghu! Resist the curse. ”
Canghu laughed, his voice was excited, a little like a sad cry, he said: "Everything starts from you, do you want me to stop?"
Dong Caiqi suddenly felt that there was true qi wrapped up, sticking to her ankles, her fingertips were bleeding, turning into a blood sickle, turning around, cutting off the true qi, but it touched the phoenix crack again, and the blue fox was in front of her in an instant, and the red sword was innumerable, like an endless firework.
She endured it again and again, but so far she has been stimulated to fight, a move "moving without borders", the palm power is like a huge wave of monstrous shots, the two exchanged a move, comparable, Dong Caiqi pointed a little, the severed snake head on the ground rushed up and bit towards the fox.
Canghu made a move to the magic sound qi wall, as if he was behind a wall, blocking the snake's head, Dong Caiqi swept his slender feet, and the blood light pointed directly at the forehead of the blue fox. As soon as the fox let go, he once again made the sword stab at Dong Caiqi.
The two sides did not give in to each other, and they used peerless attacks to each other, and Dong Caiqi made the flesh and blood control thoughts, the strength was amazing, and the moves were weird. And the pure swordsmanship of Canghu is also ever-changing, smart and fast. Even though Dong Caiqi was slightly better in internal strength, he forced Canghu into a desperate situation several times, but Canghu could always find a gap to counterattack and stab Dong Caiqi instead. Dong Caiqi used the self-healing technique to the extreme, and suffered a loss for a while, but it had nothing to do with the overall situation.
Suddenly, the momentum of the fox changed, and the swordsmanship revealed a great flaw, Dong Caiqi couldn't think about it much, and with one move, he "penetrated the golden stone", and the two fingers were pointed out, and he had exhausted his life's energy. The blue fox spit out a wall of air, but it was broken by the finger force, and with an "ah" sound, blood gushed in his throat.
He bleed a lot, and in terms of the idea of controlling flesh and blood, Dong Caiqi had a great advantage, and he could almost manipulate his life and death. Dong Caiqi was about to cast a spell to harm him, but suddenly hesitated: "I can't kill him, Wu Qi's kindness... The curse of wandering, I can't sink because of it. ”
It was this moment of hesitation that Canghu comprehended the death sword at the moment of life and death. He stabbed out with a sword, like the king of Hades wielding a blade, causing all things to fall into reincarnation, dragging the sun of the world into the yin, as fast as black lightning, like the netherworld, and making life turbid.
Dong Caiqi was intimidated by the sword intent, couldn't dodge, and had no idea of dodging at all, with a snort, the sword in the chest, and the dead qi in the sword poured into her body, Dong Caiqi snorted, his body turned into blood, separated from the tip of the sword, and gathered in the distance.
Canghu laughed, a little out of breath, he said, "I... Deliberately bet you... Only by hesitating can you comprehend the sword of death when you are dying. ”
Dong Caiqi's injuries were far more serious than the fox, the death qi spread in her body, destroying her life force, the effect of flesh and blood control thought was sharply reduced, her proud kung fu gradually failed, she vomited blood, but it was the black that symbolized death.
Canghu took a breath and raised his sword to stab at her, but at this moment, the sound of giant wings in the air and the chirping of birds disturbed the stratus clouds, spreading for thousands of miles, and Canghu said miserably: "The eye of the beast!"
The monster landed in front of Dong Caiqi, and the big-eyed owl stretched out his sharp mouth, picked up Dong Caiqi, turned slightly, and threw her far away, and then turned around to face the blue fox.
Canghu's face was full of anger, full of unwillingness and injustice, he gritted his teeth and said, "You.... Why did you help her? The one who won was me, it could only be me!" A sword was slashed out, but the big-eyed owl stretched out his mouth and pecked out, and the fox could not crack it, but was almost pierced, so he could only stop and escape.
"I've been helping her and guiding her here. If she hadn't spared you first, you would have died before her. ”
Dong Caiqi's body trembled and said, "You... What do you say? All along, you've been... Do you recognize me?"
"At some point, I fell into madness, and I don't know who to face, but from beginning to end, I know that the wandering sand is coming, and I hope that you will enter the wandering sand and try to ascend." ”
Dong Caiqi's brain was in a mess, coughing loudly, black blood kept pouring to her lips, and her blood was eroded by the death sword, not only did it not help, but poisoned her body.
The sword of death turns yang into yin, and life into death, even though the fire of the fox is not deep, but it is enough to kill Dong Caiqi. Seeing this, the fox looked happy and ran into the distance, waiting for the moment when she died.
The big-eyed owl said: "Hold on, hold on, life and death, yin and yang, are two sides of the same body, inseparable, you have already been reborn from the dead, and now you should realize that from life to death." ”
Dong Caiqi's body twitched, gradually stiffened, and she felt that she was in the middle of life and death, which was far worse and worse than when she was a snake uncle, because death had taken possession of her body.
A distant voice said, "Every piece of sand under you is a good thing." Every living thing in the world also has its own destiny. You yourself are also Qiankun, a part of the pulse of heaven and earth, so the boundary between life and death is blurred, blend into the pulse, let the pulse guide you to see through yin and yang and life and death, and understand the unity of heaven and man. ”
It was undoubtedly a dying hallucination, because the voice came from an unforgettable person, but his life and death were unknown.
She thought to herself, "Senior brother?"
Donzech felt like that Leonses, death was on his heels, there was no escape, he was bleeding constantly, and he could die of exhaustion every moment.
But he still desperately fled, from the sand, from the darkness, blindly and frantically fleeing for his life, surviving like earthworms and gophers.
In the dark, this Leonsis is guiding her, "he" is guiding her, whether the voice is true or not, Dong Zeqi doesn't want to die anymore.
The voice was still saying, "There is a universe in earthworms, there is a universe in a gopher, and there is even more in the human body." Life and death, yin and yang, existence and extinction, to achieve a balance in the universe, understand the way of balance, understand the principle of survival. ”
She silently thought in her heart: Even if it is beyond life and death, I will find you.
The path gradually ascended, and there was air, light, and life ahead, and perhaps the owner of the voice?
