In that distant little black house

Lu Guijiu thought he was dead.

His spiritual energy was completely exhausted, and there were not many supplies left on his body, and there was a hideous wound on his back.

The wound spread from his waist to his neck, the depth almost split his whole body in half.

Lu Guijiu was lying on the ground, unable to move at all. Mosquitoes unique to the demon world kept circling and buzzing around him, as if announcing the imminent death.

The severe pain was already numb to Lu Guijiu, and he even began to have hallucinations in front of his eyes... He saw his master, smiled at him not far away, then waved his hands and said: " come over."

Lu Guijiu also smiled, his smile was a bit piercing, almost ghostly, he said: "Master..."

In Lu Guijiu's sea of ​​consciousness, Lu Shu kept calling Lu Guijiu's name. Seeing that Lu Guijiu's aura was getting weaker and weaker, he was extremely anxious, and shouted: "Lu Guijiu——Lu Guijiu—you If he dies, Zhang Jingmo will leave with others, not only will he leave with others, he will also marry a wife and have children!"

Lu Guijiu coughed up a few mouthfuls of blood from his throat, and his face turned pale again. Although he couldn't hear exactly what Lu Shu was talking about, he still vaguely recognized the two key words Zhang Jingmo and his wife.

After coughing up blood, Lu Guijiu's breathing finally became a little smoother, but his breath was still very weak, and it seemed that he might die at any time.

Lu Shu could see that he was anxious, but there wasn't much he could do, the most he could do was read aloud in Lu Guijiu's sea of ​​consciousness, and it was up to Lu Guijiu himself in the end.

Lu Guijiu took a few breaths, and said in a hoarse voice: "Lu Shu, I want to go back."

Lu Shu hurriedly responded, he said: "Go back, go back! We'll go back right away! Lu Guijiu, you have to hold on, if you die, others will sleep with your wife and beat your baby!" In a hurry, I was thinking of something to say, completely forgetting that Lu Guijiu has no wife, even if he has a wife, the wife is still a tough man.

Lu Guijiu didn't care about these things, when he heard Lu Shu's words, he perked up a bit, biting his damaged lips and said: "He...I..."

Seeing Lu Guijiu spit out two more words, Lu Shu became more energetic, and kept cheering Lu Guijiu's mind, fearing that once Lu Guijiu closed his eyes, he would never wake up again.

The two of them didn't know that not far from them, a man wearing a mask was closely monitoring the situation here, and even took action to deal with several demonic beasts that were attracted by the smell of blood.

Under the comfort of Lu Shu, Lu Guijiu lay on the ground and ran the "Shui Yan Jing" continuously, trying his best to repair his broken body.

However, the demon world lacks aura, so the healing effect is far inferior to that of the human world. Lu Guijiu lay there for half a day, and just managed to get up.

And during this period, if there is a monster attacking, I am afraid that he will be directly buried in the mouth of the monster.

Seeing Lu Guijiu sitting up, Lu Shu knew that his condition had improved a lot. He said, "Lu Guijiu, move quickly, you have been lying here for too long, and you will soon attract monsters."

Lu Guijiu hummed. There hasn't been a monster here for half a day. He couldn't find the reason, so he could only attribute it to his luck, so he staggered up from the ground and walked a few steps forward.

However, his body was weak, and it was extremely difficult to move a step, but even though his feet were like needles, Lu Guijiu still endured the severe pain and left the place where he left the blood.

Lu Shu just looked at Lu Guijiu's appearance, and felt his whole body hurt. Although he had a lot of dissatisfaction with Lu Guijiu, he had to admit that Lu Guijiu's perseverance was the highest among the people he had met. Definitely one or two.

After walking so slowly for a while, Lu Guijiu couldn't move anymore, so he sat on the ground again, and began to rest with a white face.

Seeing that he was working so hard, Lu Shu also fell silent, and let him rest with his eyes closed.

Due to the movement, the wound on Lu Guijiu's back split open again, revealing the scarlet texture inside, and even the white spine could be seen faintly.

This wound was caused by a monster, so there was a strong demonic energy attached to it, and it hasn't healed for a long time.

Lu Guijiu rested for a few moments, and suddenly opened his eyes. He looked at the gloomy space above his head where the sun could never be seen, and said, "Lu Shu, how long have we been in?"

Lu Shu kept memorizing the time, and when he heard Lu Guijiu's question, he opened his mouth and answered, "It's been more than fifty years."

Lu Guijiu smiled wryly, "I thought... I've been here for a hundred years."

These days are extremely uncomfortable, naturally it feels like years, Lu Shu's feelings for Lu Guijiu are not surprising at all.

Lu Guijiu said again: "I don't know, how long... can I go back."

Hearing this, Lu Shu didn't respond. He also knew a little about the devil world, but the more he knew, the more he felt that it was almost impossible for Lu Guijiu to go back.

And looking at Lu Guijiu's current appearance, whether he can live another 50 years is a question mark...

Regarding this matter, Lu Guijiu himself knew it well, seeing that Lu Shu didn't answer, he closed his eyes again and silenced his voice.

Just as Lu Guijiu closed his eyes for a while, Lu Shu's voice sounded again, this time with some eagerness in his voice, he said: "Lu Guijiu, get up quickly, there is something to eat!"

Lu Guijiu opened his eyes suddenly and said, "Where?"

Lu Shu said: "Just in front of you—"

Lu Guijiu looked forward, and saw a small gray-haired animal vaguely hidden in a clump of withered grass. The small animal was gnawing at the roots of the grass.

Because there is no aura, Lu Guijiu has to eat some meat if he wants to replenish his strength. Although the taste of this gray-haired little animal is not very good, at least there is no magic energy in his body, so it is a good food.

Lu Guijiu had caught many of these animals to satisfy his hunger before.

Lu Guijiu stared at the small animal not far away for a while, and then began to slowly move towards it.

This little animal is very alert. When it saw Lu Guijiu walking towards it, it immediately wanted to run away. How could Lu Guijiu give him this chance? He suddenly raised the sword in his hand, and then pointed the star directly towards it. Then the animal threw it.

Before the animal could react, its entire body was nailed to the ground.

Lu Guijiu almost used all his strength in this throw. Seeing that the animal was killed by him, he stood there panting for a moment before slowly walking over.

The animal was directly pierced through the body by the sword of the stars, and it was already dead at this time.

Lu Guijiu bent down, pulled out the sword, then raised the animal to his mouth, and swallowed the warm blood from the animal in one gulp.

The blood moistened Lu Guijiu's dry coughing throat and gave his body some strength. He wiped away the blood overflowing from the corner of his mouth.

Lu Shu said: "Look, things aren't bad enough, I'll just say you're lucky, maybe if you work harder, you'll just walk out..."

Lu Guijiu listened to Lu Shu's words and was about to answer something, but his brows furrowed, and he asked, "Did you hear anything?"

Lu Shu said: "What sound?"

Lu Guijiu said: "...It seems that there is something..."

As soon as he finished his words, he saw a huge worm breaking out of the ground in front of his eyes. Lu Guijiu, who was already at the end of his strength, immediately fell to the ground when he was rushed by the worm.

Gong Yujin, who had been watching from afar, saw the change of expression on his face, and immediately flew towards the place where Lu Guijiu fell - but it was too late, and in just an instant, Lu Guijiu was caught by the big bug. Volume, pulled directly into the ground.

It was only a few breaths before Gong Yujin reached the huge pit, but when he stood on the huge pit, Lu Guijiu had disappeared. The worst thing was...he couldn't even feel any Lu Guijiu. Mortar breath.

Gong Yujin's face darkened, without hesitation, he jumped directly into the pit of God.

At the same time, Zhang Jingmo of Kunlun Peak also stayed in Kunlun Peak for more than [-] years.

In the past 50 years, his life was not good, but it was not bad either.

Hetong, who led him into the mountain gate, has been stuck with Zhang Jingmo almost every day since he got acquainted with him, and he never missed a meal or sleep.

Occasionally he didn't show up because Gong Huaiyu was upset and pulled him away from Zhang Jingmo's side abruptly.

Zhang Jingmo was not disgusted with Hetong's actions, because Gong Huaiyu was afraid that Zhang Jingmo would recognize his identity, so he was extra cautious on weekdays, and rarely even said a word to Zhang Jingmo.

Zhang Jingmo was very curious about Gong Huaiyu's identity at first, but after seeing his cautious appearance, he didn't bother to explore it.

Anyway, from now on, it seems that the owner of the Kunlun Peak not only has no malice towards him, but has the intention of protecting him, so he is not a vicious person.I just don't know why the owner has kept himself here for almost 50 years, and never showed up.

Originally, life was very peaceful, and his cultivation had increased, which should be a good thing for Zhang Jingmo.But for some reason, his mood fluctuated suddenly, as if he felt something important in the dark.

In the past few days, Zhang Jingmo could barely eat and sleep, and his whole body was haggard in a short period of time.

Hetong worriedly asked Zhang Jingmo what's wrong, if he is not feeling well, Zhang Jingmo just shook his head when he heard the words, he didn't know what was wrong with him, how could he tell others?

After suffering like this for a few days, Zhang Jingmo suddenly remembered something, so he went to find the masked man.

Seeing Zhang Jingmo approaching the door, the masked man didn't give him a good look, and asked him what's the matter coldly.

Zhang Jingmo: "I want to meet my apprentice."

The masked man said coldly, "Is your apprentice the one you want to see?"

Zhang Jingmo frowned upon hearing this.

Seeing Zhang Jingmo's expression, the masked man felt a little guilty for some reason. He said, "Isn't your disciple's fate card on you? There is nothing to see. Let's look at it after the fate card is broken." He said this purely If you are angry, you want to deliberately embarrass Zhang Jingmo.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he said this, Zhang Jingmo felt something. His body froze, and then he stretched his hand to his chest.

Then, Gong Huaiyu saw a scene that took him out of his wits - Lu Guijiu's fate card was shattered!

The fate card was held by Zhang Jingmo, but it had been broken into several pieces. Zhang Jingmo's hands were shaking so badly that he could hardly hold the light pieces of wood.

"No! This is impossible!!!" Gong Huaiyu, who saw Lu Guijiu's life card shattered, looked like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. He stood up from his chair and rushed towards the side hall, obviously intending to Look at Lu Guijiu's situation at this time.

Zhang Jingmo followed behind him without saying a word, holding the broken pieces of wood firmly in his hands.

"No! Impossible!" When the screen was opened, Gong Huaiyu's expression was extremely distorted, and he said to himself: "This is impossible—this is impossible—"

Zhang Jingmo stood behind Gong Huaiyu, watching the painting curtain light up.

There was a scene in the painting screen that made the hearts of both of them sink. In the painting screen, there was no figure, only a dark hole could be seen. Outside the hole, traces of blood could still be vaguely seen. .

Gong Huaiyu roared, wanting to shout out something, but the last rationality reminded him that Zhang Jingmo was behind him, so he gritted his teeth, swallowed back those words and the blood gushing out of his throat.

Zhang Jingmo said with a light voice, "I'm going to the Demon Realm."

"Go! Go fuck!" Gong Huaiyu really wanted to slap Zhang Jingmo's body, but he couldn't, so he slapped down, and half of the wall of the side hall collapsed. He turned his head bitterly, and died. Staring at Zhang Jingmo, his eyes were full of chills, and he said, "Zhang Jingmo——you will always be a burden."

Zhang Jingmo also responded to Gong Huaiyu with indifferent eyes, he said, "Burden?"

Gong Huaiyu said: "If it wasn't for you - if it wasn't for you!"

Zhang Jingmo was still calm, the fragments of the wooden sign in his hand were embedded in his palm, and the blood dripped down to the ground along his fingers, his expression was flat and his eyes were indifferent, as if the trembling just now was just an illusion, he said : "Tell me, what's wrong with me?"

Gong Huaiyu let out another roar, and the aura of running away from his body swayed away, and directly shot Zhang Jingmo out.Zhang Jingmo was like a man of paper, knocked down by this aura, he had no strength to resist at all.

He was hit heavily against the other wall, and managed not to pass out, but at this moment, he looked at Gong Huaiyu with nothing but indifference and hatred.

Gong Huaiyu walked up to Zhang Jingmo, broke his hand abruptly, and took away the pieces of Lu Guijiu's life card. He said, "You don't deserve to stand with him at all."

Zhang Jingmo vomited blood. He grasped Lu Guijiu's life card very tightly, but Gong Huaiyu snapped off his finger and snatched it abruptly. The severe pain in his finger gave him a strange feeling of excitement. He coughed and said in a low voice, "I know who you are now."

Gong Huaiyu froze all over, and the coldness in his eyes was even worse.

Zhang Jingmo's lips moved slightly, but Gong Huaiyu couldn't hear the few words he said. He snorted coldly, grabbed Zhang Jingmo's collar and lifted him up from the collapsed ruins. He said, "Say it ,who I am."

Zhang Jingmo looked at Gong Huaiyu's face close at hand, and suddenly smiled.

Seeing Zhang Jingmo's smile, Gong Huaiyu realized that something was wrong, but it was too late—in an instant, countless tiny needles shot out from Zhang Jingmo's body, and after the needles pierced the skin, they swam into the blood , with the blood going straight to the heart.

Gong Huaiyu threw off Zhang Jingmo and backed away. Even though he retreated in time, he was still stabbed because he was too close to Zhang Jingmo. Being plotted by the ants, Gong Huaiyu's expression became even more distorted. It took Zhang Jingmo's life—just like it did back then.

After Lu Guijiu died, the intent to kill was born, Gong Huaiyu squinted at Zhang Jingmo who was lying on the ground dying, and said: "The method is good."

Zhang Jingmo looked at him indifferently. This move was his last move. These thousands of needles were specially refined. She plotted that she could still stand and talk to him.

Forget it, it seems that today, he is going to die here.

In the face of death, Zhang Jingmo's mood was exceptionally calm. He had already started planning for the next life in his mind. He thought that when he made up for the big battle, he must be careful. If he had a chance, he would see if he could save the brothers and sisters of the Gu family. ...

Gong Huaiyu approached Zhang Jingmo step by step, Zhang Jingmo could already feel his killing intent clearly, he could even see the red light from Gong Huaiyu's eyes which were more than half covered by the mask.

At the moment when Gong Huaiyu was about to make a move, he heard a cold voice, that voice said: "Gong Huaiyu, I don't want your life because of our past friendship, but I don't want to see you anymore. You, let's go."

Gong Huaiyu was stunned on the spot, he turned around stiffly, but found that there was no one around, only him and Zhang Jingmo here - the voice was just his auditory hallucination.

But even though it was an auditory hallucination, it still brought back certain memories of Gong Huaiyu, and even his limped leg began to ache faintly, making Gong Huaiyu wish he could chop it off.

Zhang Jingmo originally thought that he was bound to die, but Gong Huaiyu inexplicably stopped in his tracks, and even frightened and painful expressions flashed across his face, as if he had been haunted by something.

Gong Huaiyu said something inexplicably, "Master, why?"

The bones of Zhang Jingmo's body were almost broken, and it was very difficult to even move at this moment. He looked at Gong Huaiyu's absent-minded appearance, and began to secretly think in his heart whether he could kill the person in front of him.

But this is just thinking about it, Gong Huaiyu and him are not at the same level at all, Gong Huaiyu can easily kill a Nascent Soul cultivator, but he may not win the battle to the death.

This fantasy only troubled Gong Huaiyu for a moment, and he quickly broke free from it, and turned his gaze to the dying man on the ground again.

Gong Huaiyu didn't miss the murderous intent in Zhang Jingmo's eyes, but after seeing the murderous intent in Zhang Jingmo's eyes, instead of being angry, he laughed.

He said: "What a pair of beautiful eyes, they should be so cold..." Zhang Jingmo back then, how good would it be like now?It's not like, let him make the worst choice.

Gong Huaiyu and Gong Yujin are the twins of the Gong family. The two met Lu Guijiu when they were traveling, and later cast themselves under Lu Guijiu's sect. Gong Huaiyu's temper was jumpy and he was more impulsive. Jiu can lead them to the road to the sky, but, but——

Zhang Jingmo said: "You hate me very much?"

When Gong Huaiyu heard this, he smiled lowly, and said, "I wish I could kill you."

Zhang Jingmo said: "Why don't you do it?"

Gong Huaiyu looked at Zhang Jingmo silently, looked at the provocation in his eyes, looked at the strange excitement in his eyes, and said, "Because, I'm afraid."

Zhang Jingmo didn't ask him what he was afraid of, because he knew that Gong Huaiyu would not speak, but since he knew that Gong Huaiyu would be afraid, that was enough.

Most of this side hall was destroyed, and other people on Kunlun Peak knew that there was a fight here, but they didn't dare to go forward. Gong Huaiyu said, "I won't kill you." Because I know, compared to death, you are more important. There are more painful things.

Zhang Jingmo stopped talking, he simply compared his eyes and never looked at Gong Huaiyu again.

Gong Huaiyu looked at Zhang Jingmo's dying state, and said indifferently: "Heal his wounds, and if he dies, you can bury him with him."

After saying this, he got up and left, leaving a mess on the ground.

Zhang Jingmo was lying on the ground, looking at the huge pit in the painting screen not far away, his lips moved, and vaguely called out the word "podojiu".

When the life card is broken, it means that this person... is no longer in this world.

Zhang Jingmo closed his eyes, as if his heart had been hollowed out by something.

What happened next, Zhang Jingmo was not quite clear, he felt himself being picked up by a pair of hands and placed on a soft bed, and then those hands carefully cleaned his wound and applied ointment.

Zhang Jingmo was in severe pain, but he was used to the pain, so it was nothing to him. The most uncomfortable thing for him was that his heart seemed to be sharpened by a blunt knife. It was so stuffy and painful. asphyxia.

Zhang Jingmo's hand was lifted up by someone, and the person carefully helped Zhang Jingmo pick up the wooden thorn in his palm. Lu Guijiu's fate card is made of special wood. It can only be picked out with a needle a little bit.

Zhang Jingmo closed his eyes, as if he was dead, and the person who took care of him carefully sniffed his breath several times with his hands.

After the man picked out the wood thorns, he applied the best ointment and wrapped the bandage for him. Seeing that Zhang Jingmo hadn't spoken yet, he cautiously called out, "Mo Mo."

It was Hetong Baiyue's childish voice, and he said: "Mo Mo, if you are sad, just cry."

Zhang Jingmo didn't open his eyes, and he didn't answer. What he thought was, how could he be sad? Even if Lu Guijiu died, it would be fine, he just... just needs another life, and then he can see Lu Guijiu again.

He Tong said: "Mo Mo, don't do this."

Zhang Jingmo was tired from listening, he didn't know what He Tong meant by "don't do this", but he thought that the child came here for his own good, so he hummed lightly.

Unexpectedly, when he finished humming, He Tong rested his head on Zhang Jingmo's arm, and sobbed softly.
