Xu Chen slowly raised his head.

The crimson moon reflected the entire dark world as if it were flowing with blood, and occasionally a few black birds flew over his head, leaving behind the chirping of crows.

When Xu Chen really wanted to move forward, he found that he couldn't move an inch, because he was standing on top of an extremely high stone pillar, and this stone pillar could barely accommodate his two feet, if he dared to move his steps, he would definitely fall into the abyss.

Flush with the top of the stone pillar, that is, at the height of Xu Chen's feet, there were black and red clouds, their shapes constantly changing, and under these strange clouds, the bottom of the abyss was a churning pool of red blood.

Xu Chen firmly believed that it was a pool of blood, because he saw several huge lotus flowers floating in the pool of blood, and the color of the lotus flowers was also bright red, not even a trace of variegation.

This is a completely murderous splash of ink, as if the ink cartridge and cinnabar inkstone have been overturned.

Just as Xu Chen was shocked by the scene in front of him, a strange voice sounded, sharp and piercing, with ridicule in provocation and sarcasm in disdain.

"Come and kill me, I'm the one who killed everyone in the Retreat. ”

Another voice followed, clearly not the same person.

"Haha! That's not important, I killed your mother, that bitch, hehe, you're going to kill me!"

"No, I killed his mother, and he should have killed me. ”

"No, none of this matters, I arranged all this, and I personally killed your Uncle Wu, how about it, do you like it? Haha!"

Strange voices kept coming, filling Xu Chen's entire head, and in the end, he couldn't even hear what those voices were saying, like arguing, arguing about who caused Xu Chen's family to be ruined and who caused Xu Chen's displacement.

"Shut up!

Xu Chen roared hard, he closed his eyes, covered his ears tightly with his hands, didn't want these scenes to come into his eyes, and didn't want those sounds to run into his ears again, but those sounds didn't seem to enter his ears at all, but could directly enter his head, and it seemed that those sounds came from his heart.

"It's an illusion, it's an illusion. ”

Xu Chen kept admonishing himself.

I don't know how long it took, those weird sounds gradually subsided, Xu Chen slowly put down his hands and tried to open his eyes, and at that moment, endless fear struck again.

Above the black and red clouds around him, countless figures in black cloaks were leaning towards him, and the deep cuffs of those cloaks were not faces at all, but bright red.

They held sharp knives in their hands, short but intimidating, and thousands of black shadows walked over step by step, the sharp knives facing them, shining in the crimson moonlight.

At a certain moment, these black shadows shouted out a sentence in unison, and this voice seemed to resound throughout the world.

"Aren't you going to take revenge?

Then, a sharp knife gradually pierced Xu Chen's body, and those black shadows seemed to be executioners lined up to carry out the execution, and Xu Chen was the prisoner and the condemned prisoner.

Xu Chen had no power to fight back, so he could only let those black shadows and those sharp knives continue to bring pain to himself.

He believed that all this was illusory, but the never-ending, never-ending pain was real, so real.

One knife, two knives...... Ten Knife ...... 100 Dollars...... 10,000 ......

No one paid attention, no one cared, and no one even said another word.

"Yes, I—I want revenge, but I—I ......."

At a certain moment, Xu Chen jumped hard, away from those sharp knives, and away from those black shadows.

His body slowly descended, towards the deepest part of the abyss, the pool of blood.

At this time, he finally saw the whole picture of this stone pillar, the whole body of the stone pillar was shrouded in bright red mist, they kept changing and swimming, like a picture, a picture of slaughter, there was a mother, there was Lao Wu, and there was also a hermitage that he had never seen before.

The lotus flower in the blood pool is still bright and dazzling, and the salty and sweet blood aura is getting stronger and stronger, and he is about to be swallowed by the entire blood pool, and he will disappear without a trace......

"Smack!"

With a crisp sound, a black chess piece landed heavily on the board.

Xu Chen panted and looked at the chessboard in front of him, his whole body was already wet with sweat, and the heat at this time didn't look like it was a rainy night at all.

The bloody breath seemed to still flow on the tip of his nose, and the stinging pain of the sharp knife never seemed to subside.

"Tian Yuan!"

Lu Yin on the side looked in surprise at the position where Xu Chen dropped the chess pieces, which was the center of the chessboard.

"Watching chess is silent, ah!

The old monk glanced at Lu Yin as if he was unwilling, and after that, he looked at Xu Chen and nodded, stretched out his hand and put the jade sword on the chessboard, "You won, but this move you played is really a stinky move!"

As he spoke, he turned his head to Lu Yin, and said with a slightly sarcastic expression, "Right?"

"This ......"

Lu Yin didn't know how to answer for a while, you know, in his understanding, he will point Tianyuan when he comes up, this is definitely a stinky chess in stinky chess, only people who don't know anything about Go will play like this.

Well, even if they played backgammon, Xu Chen only made one move, so how could he win or lose? But looking at the old monk's proud energy, that rogue energy, Lu Yin knew that he had better not ask, otherwise, the old monk would have to ask for silver from himself, and maybe he would inevitably be scolded for "stinky and shameless." ”

At this time, looking at the jade sword on the chessboard, Xu Chen actually had a strange feeling, so strange that he didn't even dare to touch it. His left hand was still holding the box, and his left hand was still on top of the piece.

"I won?"

Xu Chen asked with his stiff mouth open.

"What's the matter?"

The old monk pouted and asked, the posture was still the stinky hooligan on the street, "If you don't want it, then I will come, and when the time comes, I will sell it at the pawnshop, and I can exchange it for a few wine money." ”

As he spoke, the old monk reached out and grabbed the jade sword.

Xu Chen naturally couldn't let him snatch it, so he held down the jade sword as soon as he stretched out his hand, and said with a slight distraction: "No!

As soon as he finished saying this, Xu Chen suddenly raised his head, looked at the old monk opposite with an extremely strange look, and asked inexplicably: "Master......!

"Unspeakable...... Can't say...... Don't want to say. ”

The old monk replied domineeringly, "Anyway, you won, and this thing will be returned to you, so you can go!"

Xu Chen looked at the old monk motionless, as if he was extremely reluctant, he didn't say he wouldn't leave, he didn't say he wanted to leave, he just didn't move, as if he was still waiting for something.

Now the old monk was in a hurry, he got up angrily and said, "What's the matter? Why don't you rely on me? I don't have any extra food here, hurry up." ”

Seeing that Xu Chen still didn't move, the old monk crossed his hands on his waist and put on a shrewd posture again, "If you don't leave, believe it or not, I'll let the dog go?"

Xu Chen didn't move, as if he was stupid.

"Oh, I don't believe it anymore!"

The old monk turned his head to look at Lu Yin, and scolded loudly: "You!"

Seeing the old monk's extremely serious appearance, Lu Yin immediately swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said in his heart, "Is this taking advantage of me?"

"What's the matter, you both have to stay with me?"

The old monk said dissatisfiedly, "Tell you, this is not a hotel, nor an inn, of course, if you are willing to spend money, it is not impossible, but I am precious!"

When Lu Yin heard this, he was instantly stunned.

This old monk really only knows silver.

After thinking about it, Lu Yin finally admitted it, stepped forward and patted Xu Chen, "Hey, let's go, I don't have any money here!"

Being slapped by Lu Yin like this, Xu Chen suddenly hit a spirit, he slowly stood up, and at the same time held the jade sword tightly in his hand.

He should have been extremely happy to have regained it, but he was quite confused at this time.

Following Lu Yin stupidly walking towards the door, at a certain moment, Xu Chen subconsciously looked at the jade sword, and at that moment, he was stunned, really stunned.

At this time, he had already stood at the door of the meditation room, but after a while, he suddenly turned his head and looked at the monk with a slightly crazy look, "Thank you, Master, for your advice!"

"Huh?"

Lu Yin outside the door didn't know what was going on, but he saw the old monk waving his hand lightly and smiling slightly, so calm and without any insaneness.

A black umbrella was propped up, and Xu Chen followed Lu Yin to walk towards the carriage on the stagnant water, "I'll send you back to the Mountain Sect, but you'd better forget about today's events, especially those ...... Do you understand?"

Xu Chen nodded silently, whether this Lu Yin was Xi Fan's senior brother or not, he knew that Lu Yin had saved himself twice, and he couldn't transfer his hatred to him.

What's more, the national teacher of this empire seems to know some of his own background, and he is not as jealous and hateful as those teachers or classmates, which in itself makes Xu Chen grateful.

I don't know what my junior brother did back then, but I believe that he is definitely not a person who kills innocents indiscriminately, including today. He is indeed murderous, however, I believe that he always has a reason, so ......"

Lu Yin didn't say anything further, in fact, he didn't know how to say it, so he was embarrassed to say it.

Xu Chen didn't answer, nor did he raise his head, he just smiled at my jade sword, as if he had figured out something, as if he had seen through some people's hearts.

So much so that late at night, the carriage painted with ghost talismans finally arrived at the foot of the mountain of the Dushan Sect.

Dao Tong gently pulled the curtain and said that it was here. Lu Yin looked at Xu Chen and said, "Xiaoyou will have to do it for himself in the future!"

His voice paused slightly, and he said with some hesitation: "Actually, in fact, I didn't really want to save you this time, or rather, I didn't plan to take care of this matter, it's just that there is a person who asked me to save you, so ...... Yes, he didn't want you to know, and he told me not to tell you that it was his attention, but I guess I should say it anyway, or ......."

"It's Chu Yang, it's your crown prince. Right?"

Xu Chen replied with a smile.

Lu Yin smiled bitterly and nodded silently.

The reason why he smiled bitterly was because what Xu Chen said just now was, "Your crown prince." And not "ours".

Xu Chen said thank you and was about to get out of the car, at this time, Lu Yin suddenly stopped him, put the black umbrella gently on Xu Chen's hand, and after a little thought, he asked, "When you were in the Leadhua Temple, why did you want Master Xie Wuchan?" Also, I saw that when you dropped that chess piece, it seemed a little weird, can you tell me why?"

Xu Chen smiled slightly and said, "Don't say it...... Can't say...... Don't want to say. ”

Lu Yin shook his head helplessly, watched Xu Chen get out of the car, and gradually disappeared into the rain curtain.
