If Meng Chen was shocked and angry by Yin Chi's actions, Pei Yuze's appearance made him completely confused, and he even wondered if all this was a ridiculous dream.

His disappearance from the dungeon would inevitably cause an uproar in Taixuanzong. Yin Chi was afraid of revealing his whereabouts, so he didn't dare to stay with him any longer, so he left after setting up an enchantment at the entrance of the cave.

Meng Chen tried to find a way to get out, but couldn't - his inner strength had been sealed by the elders when he was locked in the dungeon, and now he was completely an ordinary person, unable to break through the barrier set by Yin Chi.All the magical instruments on him that could communicate with the outside world were also taken away when he was locked in the dungeon. Now he is really helpless, he can only suppress his anxiety and wait patiently.

Three days later, he finally waited for someone to come - not Yin Chi, but Pei Yuze.

"Brother!" He greeted him in surprise, and he was greatly relieved that Pei Yuze had found this place, "What's going on outside, are all the sects looking for me? Take me back quickly, this matter is too strange, I only have Go back to find out the truth!"

"You can't go back." Pei Yuze sighed, "Everyone believed that you were possessed by a demon, and you had the audacity to escape from the Taixuan Dungeon. Even if you go back now, who would dare to believe you?"

Meng Chen said firmly: "Master will believe me. As long as he comes back, then--"

"Master's retreat can be as short as a few months or as long as decades. Are you going to wait for him in the dungeon for decades?"

Meng Chen gritted his teeth secretly, and grabbed Pei Yuze's hand: "Brother, then help me."

Pei Yuze looked at him quietly.

"Take me out, I'll check it out myself." Meng Chen said quickly, "That man knows me well, and he knows Taixuan swordsmanship, so he must be a member of the sect. Give me time, and I will definitely find him!"

Pei Yuze looked at him for a while and asked, "Do you remember when we first met?"

Meng Chen was startled, his eyes were full of puzzlement, he didn't understand why he would jump the topic here.

"I told you back then that the world of cultivation is a place where the weak prey on the strong, and those who are too naive cannot survive." He held Meng Chen's palm with his backhand, and gently pulled him in front of him. There seemed to be pity, "You still don't understand this truth?"

Pei Yuze remembered that the first time he met Meng Chen, he was thin and small, covered in dust, not much more respectable than when Yin Chi came in.He should have endured a lot of secular training, but those eyes are still pure and penetrating, so clean that it is ridiculous.

He glanced at it with little interest, and called out "Junior Brother Meng" with a smile.He is used to pretending, and he almost can't distinguish the real from the fake, but he never thought that the child could see through his concealed impatience at a glance, and never came to bother him proactively in the days to come.

Until that secret place, they were put into the same deep well, and when they were on the verge of extinction, the child threw the sword to him and said, brother, you can get out.

He didn't feel any emotion, and even felt that the other party's actions were stupid and ridiculous.

No matter when and where, never give in. This is the principle he knew and abided by very early on.

He got up, picked up the sword, and walked over to the child. The lack of water for many days made the child look thinner, leaning against the corner of the wall with his eyes closed.Hearing his footsteps, that small face did not show fear and resistance to death like ordinary people, but a calm and relieved smile as if having a dream after falling asleep.

Looking at the quiet smile, he somehow lost his killing intent, threw down the sword and called the other party up, and continued to find the exit.

It was unbelievable to say that this was the first time in his life that he was soft-hearted.

Later they found the hole in the wall, and the child was very pleasantly surprised, saying that the brother is waiting for me, and I will go out and find someone to rescue.

At that moment, he once again had a murderous intention - went out, would he really want to come back?

He has somewhat guessed the intention behind this secret realm, and knows that there may be countless temptations waiting on the other side of the cave entrance.If a person is faced with monstrous benefits that he can't even imagine, will he still remember what he once said?

The moment he hesitated, the child couldn't wait to crawl out of the hole. He waited for a while, and the other party came back, with a bag of food in his arms, and showed him a happy face.

He felt that the child was still so stupid and foolish. He picked up the most worthless snack even though countless treasures and elixir were within his reach.

But somehow, he no longer hates this stupidity so much.

He ate the snack handed over by the child, and the two left the secret realm together.Later, perhaps because he noticed the loosening of his attitude, the child became closer to him, and he also changed from being dispensable to the child at the beginning, to caring, to treating the child as a treasure, and finally to being indispensable in life. .

He watched with his own eyes that thin child slowly grow into a handsome and clear young man. His appearance, cultivation, status, and reputation were changing year by year. A heart of pure compassion.

He is fascinated by this innocence, but at the same time he hates it very much. He hates himself for being entangled in desire, and his obsession and resentment are like the most common and vulgar drop in the world of mortals, while the other party is always wandering outside the world of mortals. There are sects in the way, but there are no waves born for love.

That kind of peace makes people powerless and desperate, hateful and crazy, wishing to carve their own imprint on that innocence, the deeper the better, the more painful the better, so that that person can no longer be indifferent, in this life, Don't dare to forget.

"Although I didn't expect Yin Chi to do it so early, but right now, this is indeed the most suitable place for you." Pei Yuze said softly, "There are still many people looking for you outside, but I strengthened the enchantment, so they can't find you." .”

Meng Chen looked at him as if he had never known him before, pushed him away and took two steps back slowly.

"Brother," he asked with a dry throat, still holding on to the last chance, "are you joking?"

Pei Yuze told him the answer in silence.

He looked at the young man's gradually collapsing expression, with pity and distress in his eyes, as if he was watching a carefree bird crash into a hunter's trap, as if he didn't want to believe the reality.

Meng Chen understood the look in his eyes, and for a moment he couldn't even feel the anger and pain, what flooded his heart was full of dazedness.

He finally asked: "Then what is our friendship for so many years?"

Pei Yuze was silent for a moment, and replied: "Then just forget about it."

-

Meng Chen stayed in this cave for a month.

Yin Chi and Pei Yuze would come to see him every now and then. The two maintained a delicate balance. They both wanted to get rid of each other and make it fast, but they were not fully sure. Although Yin Chi's cultivation was lower than Pei Yuze's, But it seems that they are holding an important hole card. The two can only maintain the superficial peace, waiting to catch each other's Achilles' heel.

Meng Chen only felt that he was blind, for all these years he had never seen any difference between these two people, and he believed in the brotherhood between their brothers at Tianji Peak.

But it turns out that this love is thinner than paper, and no one cares about it at all. He is the only one who foolishly takes care of him, delusional to stick to it for a lifetime.

He is innocent, but he is not blindly stupid. After seeing the faces of these two people, he no longer has illusions, but secretly thinks about how to get out of here.Although the elder sealed his cultivation, there was a time limit. Finally, one day when the seal was released, he immediately broke through the barrier and escaped while no one was guarding him.

But he didn't expect that outside the enchantment, there was a net waiting for him.

"I already knew that Dust was going to escape." Pei Yuze walked slowly from the darkness, and looked at him who fell powerlessly to the ground after being hit by a gunshot wound. I can't be obedient."

The sword light lit up, and the blood stained the full moon red. From then on, he could no longer hold the sword in his hand.

Yin Chi knew that he was going crazy, so he had a fight with Pei Yuze, stumbled towards Meng Chen, looked at his bruised hands and feet and said in a trembling voice, "Senior brother, I will definitely cure you, wait for me , I will definitely find a way to cure you..."

He lay on the bed, neither moving nor listening, no matter how Yin Chi called and begged, he didn't respond at all.

th.He couldn't even feel the hatred anymore.

Pei Yuze disappeared for a few days, and when he came back, his body was covered in scars. He sat beside him in silence for a long time, and said in a hoarse voice, "Ah Chen, I'm sorry. I didn't know why that day. I couldn't control myself."

Meng Chen quietly closed his eyes, as if falling asleep.

Pei Yuze coughed twice, his face was pale, and his voice was pleading: "Ah Chen, can you talk to me?"

Ever since the day when his cultivation was abolished, Meng Chen hadn't said a single word.

Yin Chi would also be driven crazy by his attitude, kneeling beside him and begging over and over again in despair: "Senior brother, can you please take care of me? I'll take you out, and I'll take you to Plum Blossom Valley to find God to heal you. OK?"

"Brother, say something and look at me."

"Brother, did I really do something wrong?" Yin Chi looked at the young man's face, shed a line of tears, and asked blankly, "I just like you, did I do something wrong?"

Hearing these words, the withered heart slowly felt a hint of irony.

It turns out that this is called liking.

It turns out that what some people like is to teach those who like it that life is better than death.

-

Forced to look back at countless memories that he wanted to forget and never forget, the disgust and nausea in Meng Chen's heart surged upwards.He bent down to pick up the gold chain tied around his ankle, pulled out his sword expressionlessly, and slashed hard.

After that period of time, the two of them were driven even more crazy by his indifferent attitude. Yin Chi used many methods on him, and Pei Yuze found this diamond chain to tie his ankles, saying that this way he would not He can no longer be found.

Meng Chen slashed with his sword, but without internal cultivation, even the best sword in his hand turned into a piece of ordinary iron. After several swords were chopped up, there was not even a trace left on the chain.

"It's all fake." Meng Chen swung his sword and murmured, "This is just an illusion. It's all fake."

The Wuxin Formation is also called the Heart Locking Formation. It will present the darkest, most disgusting, and most frightening memories of the people who entered the formation. People will be trapped in it and lose themselves. If they cannot get out, their bodies and minds will be gradually swallowed by nightmares.

The young man held the sword hilt tightly with both hands, ignoring the increasingly obvious pain like needle pricks all over his body, staring at the chain stubbornly and fiercely, and slashing with all his might.

Cold sweat slid down his face, dripping onto the ground. With a sound of "clang", the blade of the sword slashed on the chain, and the next moment it was slammed away. Meng Chen stared blankly at his trembling palm, his body was at the end of his strength, and he could no longer hold the sword.

The chain was still lying there intact, showing him a malicious sneer.

Meng Chen looked at the chain, and a desperate thought came to his mind uncontrollably.

Is this his fate?

Could it be that no matter how hard he tries and struggles, what awaits him is still the same ending?

-

It was only after Xue Lang ran out that he realized that he had nowhere to find Meng Chen.

The secret realm is so big, how could it be possible to know where the other party went?

Just in a daze, something moved restlessly in his sleeve, Xue Lang reached out and touched it, and took out the little white paper crane.

The little paper crane spun around twice in the air restlessly, flapped its wings, and hurriedly flew in one direction.Xue Lang suddenly came to his senses, and immediately chased after him, arriving at a field with a black label hanging on it.

Without hesitation, he immediately drew his sword and walked in, seeing the black pool.

Xue Lang had also heard rumors of evil beasts in the black water pool, and he was carefully approaching to investigate, but saw a blood-stained white dress floating in the middle of the pool with sharp eyes.

As his brain exploded, Xue Lang couldn't care about anything for a moment, he rushed into the water, and picked up the coat with shaking hands.He observed it for a long while, and then put it to the end of his nose to smell, and the tense nerves that were about to rupture suddenly relaxed.

Fortunately, the blood on it was animal blood, not human.

Xue Lang exhaled, his knees softened, and he almost fell to his knees in the pool.He threw down his bloody clothes and quickly crossed the pool, found a cave along the road, and ran in immediately.

"Meng Chen, are you there!?"

The cave was empty and no one answered.

He continued to walk in, looking for it while shouting: "Meng—"

The next moment, his breathing was stagnant, and his vision suddenly froze.At the end of the cave, several vines crawled out from the ground and entangled Meng Chen's hands and feet. The vines wriggled greedily and became tighter and tighter. They climbed up to the young man's chest and neck, dragging him into the depths of darkness.

Xue Lang was furious, he rushed up and drew his sword to chop, the vines broke a few, and entangled them again unwillingly, Xue Lang released a few fire talismans, bright red flames ignited, the vines were afraid of the fire, so they had to let go angrily. Open the youth, retracted into the ground and disappeared.

Xue Lang picked up Meng Chen and ran out of the cave, and put him on the ground, only to find that his face was frighteningly pale, his whole body was cold, his clothes were soaked in cold sweat, and even his breathing became weak.Xue Lang was so frightened that his soul flew away. While feeding him spiritual power, he leaned into his ear and shouted: "Meng Chen, wake up!"

"Meng Chen!!!"

...as if someone was calling him.

Meng Chen knelt on the ground and raised his head in a daze.

The voice is very familiar, very anxious, who is it?

"...Meng Chen! If you don't wake up...I'll beat you if you don't wake up!!!"

This childish way of speaking...

It's Xue Lang.

Once the name "Xue Lang" popped into his mind, it was like a tonic, hitting his heart suddenly, making his sinking and cold heart stagnate suddenly, and then slowly but truly beat again.

Yes... it's just an illusion.

He has started all over again, he is much stronger than before, and he has people who accompany him on the journey.

He can change the ending this time.

You can control your own destiny!

The bewildered eyes gradually returned to clarity, Meng Chen slowly stood up, this time without a sword, he picked up the gold chain on the ground with his bare hands, grabbed both ends and struggled hard!

With a "snap", the gold chain broke from the middle and fell to the ground in pieces.

-

Xue Lang got angry in a hurry and was helpless when he suddenly heard the young man in his arms coughing twice, his dark eyelashes fluttered slightly, and he slowly opened his eyes.

Xue Lang was overjoyed after being startled, and immediately asked repeatedly: "How are you? Are you injured? Is there any pain in your body!?"

Meng Chen seemed to be fished out of the water, the long hair on his cheeks was wet with cold sweat, and even his eyes were foggy.His light-colored eyes looked at Xue Lang without blinking, and when Xue Lang was getting more and more nervous under his gaze, he opened his lips and said a word: "...it hurts."

When Xue Lang heard it, his heart felt like someone had chopped eight hundred knives alive, dripping with blood.Almost at a loss, he asked, "Where does it hurt?"

Meng Chen said softly, "It hurts everywhere."

Xue Lang looked like he was about to kneel down, and he carefully lowered the hands holding him, for fear of hurting the person in his arms again: "Be patient, I'll take you out right away!"

He wanted to hug the young man, but the other party reached out and gently tugged at the corner of his clothes. Xue Lang froze immediately and dared not move.

"I'm fine, I'll be fine in a while." Meng Chen held the corner of his clothes with his pale and thin fingers, and said softly, "Xue Lang, give me a hug."

Xue Lang thought for a moment that he had heard wrongly, he held his breath to look into the young man's eyes, but saw that the inside was completely clear, he didn't look like he was sick and confused.

Trembling, he took a few deep breaths, stretched out his hands, and leaned over to hug him gently.

"is this OK?"

Meng Chen closed his eyes and felt the reassuring aura and body temperature of the young man, and hummed lightly.

Xue Lang's ears were already burning hot, and his heart was jumping wildly in his chest, jumping up and down, almost rushing out of his throat.Meng Chen's cheek was leaning against his chest, he was afraid that the other party would hear something strange, so he had to pretend to be fierce and said: "Look at you, you do this for a while and do that for a while, didn't you say harsh words earlier, saying that you would never let me Don't care, you said it has nothing to do with me anymore!?"

It was only when Xue Lang said the fierce words that he realized that there was a bit of accusation and grievance in his voice that he could hear.

Meng Chen naturally heard it too.

"It's my fault." Meng Chen closed his eyes, perhaps because of his weakness, his voice sounded extraordinarily soft, like a gust of wind, gently blowing into Xue Lang's heart.

"From now on, I'll be under your control, okay?"
