Chapter 218: Death
Delicate and charming like a woman's moaning breath, long and long like the solemn breath of the court, quick and restless like the desperate breath of a fugitive traveler, indifferent vicissitudes like the ruthless breath of history.
Xu Chen listened to the sound of breathing coming from all directions in the back garden of the narrow alley, and stood helplessly in the middle of the street.
He let go of the hilt of his sword and covered his ears with both hands, but he still couldn't stop the various gasps from penetrating the back of his palms and coming into his mind with clarity and power.
He slowly knelt down in the middle of the dark street, then collapsed.
The blood water passed through the jade sword, passed through the fire talisman at the end of the jade sword, flowed on the bluestone, and flowed into the cracks of the stones.
On the street paved with smooth bluestone, there are countless small flowers blooming into tiny blood droplets, from the south city to the north, the blood flowers are connected into a line, and the blood water at the front end is faintly connected into a line, forming a blood-colored grid around Xu Chen.
In the grid like a spider's web, Xu Chen is more like a captured insect, and after desperately struggling, he can only wait for death.
Xu Chen fell to the ground unconscious, not knowing that such a strange change had taken place around him, let alone that a majestic Mo Yu seemed to come from ancient times and a solemn destruction enveloped him.
His blood flowed through the cracks in the stones, shallow and flat, shallower and flatter than the limits of human imagination, flowing from the middle of the street into the distance, as if to cover the entire military town.
Silently, the blood that flowed into the stone crevice was quickly evaporated into a pale red mist, and then quickly purified into an invisible emptiness by an invisible high-temperature force.
The blood droplets scattered on the bluestone slab also began to evaporate and be purified, and one by one they disappeared into invisibility, and the extremely flat and shallow blood water between the stone cracks continued to evaporate and disappear at a speed visible to the naked eye, until finally came to the side of the jade sword, and directly invaded into Xu Chen's body along the blood water!
The fire is invisible, the high temperature is invisible, and the invisible scorching breath seems to be able to incinerate everything in the world, and the blood on Xu Chen's body is quickly evaporated and dispersed invisible, but his clothes have not changed in the slightest.
His bare arms, his cheeks, which were exposed outside the mask, began to turn red rapidly, the hair on his forehead quickly burned yellow and withered, and the nails of his fingers resting on the bluestone began to become dry and crisp due to the rapid loss of moisture.
A green leaf was blown up by the morning breeze, fell on the back of his hand, and then was brushed off again, still green and pleasant. An ant was disturbed by the fallen leaves, climbed on the back of his hand, and then crawled down from the other side, still alive. But if nothing else, the next moment Xu Chen will be burned alive by the mysterious invisible flames released by the jade sword and the fire talisman together.
At this moment, a shadow fell, and the poor ant was crushed to death with a soft snap.
An absolutely cold smell gradually released from the tip of the jade sword, slowly and unstoppably seeping into Xu Chen's hot body, and after a while, the red on his cheeks and arms gradually faded, turning back to the snow-white after the serious injury, the hair on his forehead quickly turned back to jet black and shiny, and the nails of his two fingernails resting on the bluestone regained their luster.
And the flickering fire talisman at the end of the sword seemed to sense something, and the eyes of the flickering two points of fire were obviously calm as usual, but they gave people the feeling that they were glancing in the direction where Xu Chen was lying down.
A black wind blew on the black wasteland, and the strong wind rolled up black gravel and threw it in all directions in the sky, so that with the naked eye, it seemed as if the light of the scorching sun on the sky had turned black.
There is a black snow-capped mountain in the far reaches of the wasteland, which is constantly melting and collapsing under the light of the black scorching sun, and the melted snow water is mixed with black soil and black gravel, reflecting the black sunlight, rushing in all directions.
The black snow-capped mountain was about to collapse, and the flood it formed was about to destroy the whole world, and at this moment, the bright night suddenly descended on the world, releasing an incomparably warm and cold atmosphere.
Xu Chen stood at a certain point in this space, looking at the magnificent and vast picture of destruction in front of him with a blank but extremely calm face, he didn't know what place this was, but he knew that this was not a dream, this perception was clear and firm, just like he clearly saw the light that occupied most of the sky, but he was sure that it was night.
The bright night covered most of the sky, obscuring the blazing black sun, gradually slowing down the melting and collapse of the snow-capped mountains, and the cold smell emanating from the bright night sky began to condense the floods that ravaged the black wasteland, turning them into dancing black ice, unwilling black snow.
The whole world is being reshaped, and the black snow-capped mountain slowly and inexorably rises again.
Heaven and earth returned to peace, the night returned to the color of the night, and the glaciers and snow rivers in the wasteland disappeared at some point, as if nothing had changed, and as if everything had changed.
The warmth of the sun shone on the sky, and the spring light melted the snow on the other side of the snow-capped mountain, and the gurgling water seeped into the depths of the ice and snow, fell into the blue and black underground ice cave, and then disappeared.
I don't know how many years passed, somewhere in the wasteland far away from the snow-capped mountains, a stone gravel trembled slightly, was pushed aside, and then a trickle gushed out, and then gradually spread, flowing towards the sky.
On the side of the water, there is a weak but strong grass.
It's such a picture, but it was gently stepped on by a foot wearing white shoes.
"Weeping crane, hum, long time no see. ”
An old but indescribable voice that was neither humble nor arrogant sounded in his ears.
Just when Xu Chen wanted to raise his head hard and look at the owner of that foot, another foot appeared next to him, and then another, walking in the direction of the previous grass, black shoes.
"Hmph, in my consciousness, the best outcome is not to see you, not to see you in this life, no! ”
The white-shoeed man also smiled coldly, "But, I'm still here." ”
As soon as the words fell, the sky suddenly changed dramatically, and the entire sky dome flowed instantaneously like a gossip map, and finally the yin and yang were divided, drawing a line separating the entire sky dome from yin and yang.
This side is empty, and over there is endless night, not even a crescent moon.
"You and I are both smart people, and we are also rare people in this world, don't you understand that you can't kill me? Of course, if you cultivate for more than 100 years, if I stop here, maybe you can really catch up with me, but, unfortunately, you can't get immortality. ”
"Immortality?"
The white-shoeed man smiled disdainfully, "That's just the wishful thinking of a group of delusional people." ”
"What's more, what can you do even if you live forever? Do you have to endure the endless loneliness, do you have to endure the endless loneliness, it is better to endure the joy of a chic life. ”
The black-shoeed man took a step forward lightly and said, "Peerless old thief, I didn't expect you to be as ignorant as the world, or that you can't eat grapes and say that grapes are sour, isn't immortality the ultimate pursuit of the world?
"Hmph, it's still nagging endlessly like before. ”
Jiechen was obviously quite disapproving, "I said, as long as I am here, I will not let you hurt a single grass or tree, as long as I am here, I will not let you do anything wrong." ”
"It's been hundreds of years, and you still haven't changed, have you forgotten how you were destroyed by the fairies?"
"So what, only trap you in the jade sword, I would rather be scorched by the flames of eternity, I'm happy, do you care?"
"You ......"
The Man in the Black Shoes was visibly furious, he couldn't imagine that there really was such a person in the world, and it would be better for the community to imprison him themselves.
After a while, Xu Chen only felt as if his body was a snow-capped mountain on one side and an oil pot on the other, alternating between cold and heat, like a battle, as if it was endless.
I don't know how long it took, the world disappeared, and Xu Chen woke up.
He looked at the corpse of the ant very close in front of him, scattered into a pile of green leaf ice gravel, lost his mind for a moment and then struggled to get up. He didn't know how long he had been unconscious, maybe long or short, but he knew that lying in the middle of the street was a very dangerous thing, listening to the faint sound of bamboo flutes and horses' hooves in the distance, he bit his lower lip to force his spirits, and ran into a side alley with his tired and injured body.
The blood left on the bluestone street has disappeared without a trace, clean as if it has been washed by the rain dozens of times and dried by the warmth of spring, he did not notice the blood stains on his body and did not know where it went, clean as if he had just soaked in a barrel bath in the red sleeves for half the night.
What happened when he was in a coma before, he only had a vague impression in his mind at this time, and he had no memory.
