Laughing at Chang'an

Geng Yan is no stranger to the taste of death.

After experiencing the taste of failure and betrayal, he ushered in the expected death.Failure is not terrible, what is terrible is the betrayal that comes because of failure, and betrayal is not terrible, the terrible thing is that in the end he does not understand why he was betrayed.

Landslides and ground cracks, and visions in the sky are just precursors.

Five golden horns grew out of the old monk's head, two on his forehead, two behind his ears, and one between his eyebrows.The purple electric light surrounds these five sharp horns, which looks quite funny.The two of them fell together with the collapsed rocks. The old monk stretched out his palm and pressed Geng Yanping's outstretched right hand.

It was indescribable.

In less than a thousandth of a second, the rushing golden ocean engulfed Geng Yan's consciousness, making him no longer able to perceive his own existence.He became one of these endless particles of golden light, flowing with the waves involuntarily, flocking to an unknown place...

—Ten years ago.

When Geng Yan first met Li Shen, it was a somewhat gloomy afternoon.

He, Gong Yun and others went to Weiyang Palace to return the task, and happened to meet Li Shen who also came to return the task.That day Li Shen was wearing a dusty gray combat uniform. Even though that face was much greener than he remembered, Geng Yan still recognized him in the crowd at a glance.

Geng Yan knew that sooner or later he would meet Li Shen, this destined enemy, but at that moment, he was still a little lost.

The loss of consciousness was only for a moment, and he reacted immediately, looked away, and stopped looking at Li Shen.He cannot intersect with the other because he is planning to kill him.

Cleanly, completely make the other party disappear from this world.

But it was not easy. Li Shen was still weak at this time, but both Hades and Li Tieyi had already set their sights on him.Li Shen's future wife, the bloody princess, has also arrived by his side.Geng Yan wanted to kill Li Shen, but he couldn't attract the attention of Hui Guang and Xue Tu, making them suspect him.

So he made a pretty elaborate plan.

Then he failed.

There is nothing wrong with the plan itself, the problem is that Geng Yan underestimated Li Shen, and the joint killing of the eight immortals failed to take the life of a little Tianmen.This sounds like a joke, but it is true.

Once again, Geng Yan realized more clearly how terrifying his old enemy was.If Li Shen like this is allowed to continue to grow, then fate is doomed to return to the original track, which is absolutely not allowed by Geng Yan.

At that time, he never thought that he would be entangled with Li Shen for the rest of his life.

He just wanted to kill him.

...Scenes of pictures passed by in front of his eyes, like a revolving lantern before death, Geng Yan's consciousness drifted between sobriety and chaos, floating in the golden ocean.Then without warning, a sharp pain that seemed to tear his soul hit him.

Geng Yan is no stranger to this kind of pain.

A voice came from a far away place, like weeping, Geng Yan seemed to have never heard it, and quietly endured the pain. He remembered the question he had asked Li Shen countless times. He asked the other party, would you like to accompany me?

At the same time, he also asked himself countless times, are you crazy?

Why did he give up killing Li Shen?Why keep the other side by your side?Why do you still lie to yourself when you know you will be betrayed?

That's funny, Geng Yan thought, maybe I'm really crazy.

Countless golden lines emerged from his body, covered his face, drilled into his pupils, and dyed them a dead golden yellow.The horns on the old monk's head were shattered one by one, fine gold powder was floating around, and the collapsed rocks piled up around the two of them, forming a high stone circle.

Time passed silently.

Geng Yan's consciousness is still floating in that sea of ​​light.

He saw Li Shen standing on a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood, with banners flying beside him, but there was no one there, looking back like a lost child.

Geng Yan's vision suddenly blurred, and the person standing there seemed to be himself again.

He takes a step forward.

On the ring of Chang'an Grand Arena, Li Shen, who was full of scars, raised his head and looked at Geng Yan in the stands, his eyes met.

Another step.

On a snowy night in Guanzhou, Li Shen was sitting on the top of the city wall, looking up at the bright moon in the snow, the solitude around him was like a small sharp knife, tapping gently on Geng Yan's heart.Lonely and proud, his mortal enemy.

Next step.

In the snow cave in the north, standing in front of the ice flow, Li Shen screamed frantically.

Go one step further.

The city was burned, Li Shen knelt down among the corpses, weeping silently.

Step by step.

At the end of the South China Sea, looking at the endless waterfall, Li Shen said in a low voice that he would not leave him.

Unable to stop.

On the top of Baishan Mountain, hugged him, and said that in the next life, Li Shen would accompany him through the mountains of swords and blood.

...How could it be possible to stop?I just want to hold him in my arms, kiss, hug, and love him wantonly, to imprint my own mark on his whole body, and to monopolize everything... This feeling of going crazy is getting crazier every second.

Geng Yan laughed at himself.

He tore apart the golden sea of ​​light.

The old monk opened his eyes suddenly, but saw a pair of ice blue eyes.

"you!"

He suddenly exclaimed, but he only had time to utter this exclamation, without any energy fluctuations, those ice-blue eyes stared at him quietly, like a pair of lightless abysses.

A few strands of blood slipped from Geng Yan's eyes.

He slowly closed his eyes, and the golden lines all over his body gradually turned into fine golden powder, dissipating in the air.When the last golden streak disappeared from the forehead, Geng Yan opened his eyes again, and the pupils returned to the original pitch black.

He took a deep breath and let it out slowly, with a tired look on his face, he stretched out his hand, and closed the eyes of the old monk opposite.

In the end, he won this game.

Although the price was not low, he also got what he wanted.Geng Yan stood up and looked at the tall giant tree beside him.The top of the giant tree is the Buddha statue. After the mountain collapsed, its hidden part in the mountain was also revealed at this moment.According to the memory of the old monk, this space has existed since its existence.

They call it Timber.

Geng Yan stretched out his hand to stick the giant wood, he made a crack on its surface forcefully, and saw the golden substance like liquid and dust slowly overflowing from the crack, and when he touched it with his hand, it turned into golden light again Grains, dissipated and disappeared.

The right palm sliced ​​through the thick tree like a blade, and Geng Yan stretched his arms towards the inside of the giant tree. After a while, he took out a golden crystal the size of an egg from it.

Almost at the moment when he took out the crystal, the giant wood suddenly split to both sides from the crack he split with his palm, and the ground under his feet also began to vibrate violently.Geng Yan raised his head, frowning as he watched the fog that had shrouded the sky gradually disappear. In his perception, it seemed that a cover was slowly falling from above.

It felt like—a skylight?

Geng Yan put away the crystal, and his figure suddenly protruded from the collapsed rock. He glanced at the monks of Kongshan Temple waiting around the rock, and said, "This place is going to be sealed, where is the exit?"

The monks looked at him nervously, but no one answered.Geng Yan looked at their expressions and knew that it was useless to talk too much. He was about to go to the entrance when he heard someone ask: "This benefactor, the abbot..."

"He's dead." Geng Yan said flatly, "Tianmu has fallen, if you don't want to die, you should leave here quickly."

The monks turned pale with fright, and some even took out weapons. Geng Yan didn't want to do anything, and his figure disappeared from the spot in a flash. He quickly came to the entrance. When he came, there was a rainbow-colored waterfall that communicated with the outside world. But it was an empty cliff.

He asked the young monk sitting in front of the cliff: "How do I get out from here?"

The young monk was a little surprised when he saw him. He shook his head and said, "The rainbow current appears every [-] days, and it has only been seven days. Without the rainbow current, it is impossible to enter and exit."

Geng Yan frowned and said, "It's been seven days since I came in?"

During the competition with the old monk, he was distracted by the strange energy of the opponent, and he also ignored the time, but he didn't feel that too long had passed.But the young monk didn't need to lie to him, so I'm afraid it really has been seven days.

He came in too abruptly and didn't leave any information. People outside couldn't contact him, and they might think that something happened to him.

But right now is not the time to think about this, Geng Yan raised his head to look at the sky, where the invisible cover is falling, judging by his intuition, it is similar to Fang Lu's sky, once it is covered, no one can come out Gotta go.

And he will be trapped in this space.

There is no rainbow current to connect to the outside world, and it is impossible to enter and exit. Geng Yan looked at the empty cliff. It should not be a coincidence that the rainbow current appears here, but the so-called rainbow current is actually a collapse. The principle is the same, so here, it should be this The weakest point of the tablet space.

He needs to give it a try, to see if he can break through this space.Unlike Fang Lu, the sky here has not yet set, so it is not impossible.

He had to get out anyway.

Go back to Li Shen.

………………

Middle Earth, Chang'an.

"Arrange an empty boat for me immediately." Li Shen hurried out as he spoke, "I'll hurry there now."

On the other end of the communicator, Lin Guo answered briefly and then hung up the phone.

Li Shen walked to the gate of the courtyard, pushed the door open, and was stunned.

——I saw more than a dozen people kneeling outside his house, including men, women and children, all of whom were unfamiliar faces.

Li Shen frowned and said, "You?"

"The Liu family in Ruyang is a survivor. I have met Lord Shen. Please save us."

"This is Wang Qishu from the Wang family in Dingzhou. I heard that you sheltered the survivors of the Li family in Huizhou. We are also desperate. I would like to follow you with this body. I hope you will show mercy and take us in."

"Uncle Li, please save us..."

Li Shen looked at them expressionlessly.

A wave of unrest, a wave of up again.
