"Brother Ning, brother Ning!"

Xiayun opened her eyes slightly, but she couldn't see anything clearly when her pupils were out of focus.

"Brother Ning, are you awake?"

Ning...brother?Who is that?

In a blur, he saw Feng Yan's face.The owner of that face pressed his shoulder, but he didn't dare to use force, as if he was afraid of hurting himself.

"Go away."

He heard himself speak in a hoarse voice, his tone full of resentment and disgust.

Hearing this, the person in front of him seemed to freeze.He withdrew his hand and said, "You...are you awake?"

Xiayun raised her hand, touched her neck, and then pressed it down on her chest.

it hurts...

He gasped, and when he caught sight of a hand reaching out to him, he slapped it away.

Fengyan, I'm in so much pain.

Suddenly there was a burning sensation on his forehead, and his eyes were also burning hot.Xiayun couldn't help closing her eyes, but when she opened them again, she was in a dark cave.

"Aha……"

A terrible, hollow sound came.Immediately afterwards, a face wrinkled into dry orange peel came up, meeting his eyes.

The man's face was full of dimples, and he looked like an old man.Seeing Xiayun wake up, the old man took a few steps back, making a bang bang bang bang.

Xiayun felt dizzy and dizzy, and there was still some pain in her chest.He wanted to reach out to stroke his forehead, but he was shocked to find that he was unable to move.

He lowered his head and saw that his body was covered with iron chains of different thicknesses, and his left chest was pierced by a huge iron nail.

Many small chains were wrapped around that nail, connecting his hands chained to the stone wall.The golden-red blood flowed out bit by bit, dripping along the chains to the ground.

Xiayun tried to turn his wrist, trying to condense some magic power, but as soon as he moved, his heart suddenly twitched, and the chain on his hand suddenly produced countless thorns, which were embedded in his flesh.

"hiss--"

Xiayun looked at the pierced hand, and there was a bone-like pain coming from there.He lowered his head, only to feel that his body was dripping with sweat, but his head was extremely dizzy.

"Aha."

Suddenly, a wet wipe was pressed to his forehead, then his cheeks, and then his neck.

Xiayun raised her eyes slightly, and saw the old man she had just seen standing in front of her, with a look of concern written all over her face.

Seeing Xiayun looking at him, he shrinks back uncomfortably, and removes the wet wipe from Xiayun's body.

"Old man, you..."

The old man opened his mouth, but only made a hoarse panting sound.He shook his head, pointed to his throat, and made a gesture of crossing his hands.

Xia Yun took a closer look and found that the old man's hands and feet were tied with iron chains.Beside him was a large water tank and a cloth bag, which contained what seemed to be dry food.

Xiayun thought for a while and asked, "Old man, do you know how to spell spells together?"

When he spoke, his chest rose and fell slightly, causing bursts of tearing pain.

The old man shook his head, and after seeing Xia Yun's disappointed expression, he nodded hesitantly.

Xiayun seemed to see some hope, and said, "Old man, is this cave in Wanren Mountain? Are you also imprisoned by the wind...by the general?"

He waited for a while before an old voice came intermittently in his head: "Yes... yes."

This old man may have learned the Liaison Curse, but he has not received formal instruction and cannot master the method of sound transmission well.

Xiayun said again: "Old man, can you do me a favor and pull out the nail embedded in my heart?"

After he finished speaking, fine beads of sweat appeared on his head, and his face turned even paler.

That heart-piercing nail didn't know what magic weapon it was, but it could lock his mana and make him extremely weak.

The old man shook his head, and tried his best to gesticulate while performing sound transmission: "I... can't help it. Palace Master, I'm sorry."

Seeing the guilty look on the old man's face, Xiayun smiled bitterly and said, "Old man, this is not your fault, don't blame yourself."

If the old man could really help him escape, then Fengyan wouldn't be able to lock them together.

The old man lowered his head and intermittently transmitted voice: "Master, I...I am Ning Guang, I was arrested...to serve...you. If you have...needs, you can...tell me."

Xiayun was startled, and said, "Ning Guang? Are you Uncle Ning?"

The old man nodded and let out a hollow sigh.

Xiayun stared at the wrinkled face, and vaguely saw Uncle Ning's appearance. "Uncle Ning, how did you become like this?"

Uncle Ning's voice sounded in his mind, and anger appeared on his face: "Because of... a traitor!"

Xia Yun said: "Traitor, you mean Fengyan?"

Uncle Ning said: "Yes, it's that... despicable villain."

Xia Yun said again: "Uncle Ning, what happened during the five years I was away? Lan'er, he...is he okay now?"

Uncle Ning opened and closed his mouth, making a howl like a wild animal.

"It's... a long story. Lan'er, he, he..."

He was silent for a long time, then shook his head with an unconcealable sadness on his face.

Xiayun was anxious and said, "Lan'er, what happened to him?"

Uncle Ning looked at Xiayun's bloody wound, with a painful expression on his face: "I was... cut off with both arms... and legs. Lying on the collapsed bed, lingering on my last breath..."

Xiayun bit her lower lip, closed her eyes, and said, "How long has it been?"

Uncle Ning said: "Five... years. I was in a coma before, but I just woke up recently."

Xiayun tried to move his hand again, the thorn on the chain pierced deeper, and the needle point penetrated his wrist.

He snorted and said, "Uncle Ning, can you try to take out that nail? I beg you, just give it a try?"

Uncle Ning looked hesitant, with fear in his eyes.He murmured: "Fengyan, threaten... to kill my family."

Enduring the pain, Xia Yun said in a soft voice as much as possible: "Uncle Ning, you must have heard that Fengyan is going to start a war, right? Can you stay here with peace of mind, let the flames of war outside, kill your family, Are relatives and friends overwhelmed?"

He looked at Uncle Ning's obviously shaken face, and said, "I'm afraid no one can stop him except me."

Uncle Ning lowered his head, looked at the water tank and dry food behind him, and then glanced at Xiayun: "Then, my family..."

Xia Yun said: "When I recover my mana, I will do my best to protect the entire Sulan."

Uncle Ning took a few steps, and the iron chains on his feet rattled.Xiayun waited patiently for a while, then saw Uncle Ning gritted his teeth and walked towards him.He stretched out his trembling hands and pressed the nail in Xiayun's heart.

"Crack, crack, crack."

Suddenly there was applause in the darkness.Uncle Ning was startled, staggered back a few steps, and hit the stone wall with his hunchback, making a loud bang.

"Palace Master, you deserve to be the one. "Protect Sulan with all your strength"?How many times can you say Haikou like this? "

Feng Yan suddenly appeared like a shadow, with an unknown smile on his face.He glanced at the trembling Uncle Ning, suddenly stretched out his hand, and grabbed in the direction of the latter——

"Ah...ah!"

Uncle Ning's body suddenly floated up into the air, as if being grabbed by invisible big hands.He opened his black mouth, let out a hoarse panic, kicked and struggled in the air.

"Put him down!"

Xiayun yelled angrily, and then there was a severe pain in his chest, which made his eyes go black for a while, and blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

Feng Yan sneered: "Let him go? I was thinking about my old love and let him live well, but what about him? He actually betrayed my trust and tried to let you go."

He waved his hand, and after a "click", Uncle Ning's neck was bent at a terrible angle, and then his whole body went limp and did not move.

Xiayun stared at Fengyan, her canthus tearing apart: "Fengyan, how could you—"

Fengyan laughed softly, walked towards Xiayun, stretched out her hand to lift his face: "Palace Master, what else can I not do now?"

He threw Xiayun's face aside, then pressed the weird nail, and said briskly: "This nail is just an ordinary iron nail. After I pulled out the sword, I found that your wound has begun to heal— —Although slowly, it is definitely healing.”

Xiayun tried her best not to groan, and tried to speak in a normal tone: "Then, so what?"

Feng Yan said: "Palace Master, if you really get well, you will kill me without hesitation, right? I'm not that stupid, go back to the mountain and let you have a chance to deal with me."

He smiled, his eyes looked a little crazy: "So, I brought you to this cave, found a nail, and hit it here."

He put his hand on Xiayun's heart, and said: "Although this nail is ordinary, the chain on it is the "broken bone chain" that I carefully developed.If you want to escape, you only need to move lightly, and they will plunge into your body deeply, cutting off all the muscles and veins, making you a useless person who can only hang in the air, unable to even yell "help". "

Xiayun was trembling with anger, and the chains on her body seemed to sense his movement, and bit by bit, the spikes stretched out, piercing into his flesh.

Enduring the pain, he said: "Fengyan, I think I treat you kindly, why do you treat me like this?"

"Palace Master, Palace Master, you have treated me well. I originally thought that everything should be over as soon as possible. When you leave the customs ten years later, you will see a brand new Sulan. It's a pity that the world is unpredictable, and you Not only came back early, but also scolded me so mercilessly."

Fengyan paused for a moment, then suddenly became ruthless.He stretched out his hand to grab Xiayun's shoulder and shook it vigorously: "Over the years, how many things have I done for Sulan? You only need to stay in the school every day and face those ignorant students, but what about me?

Everything I do is for Su Lan's benefit, but why do you all accuse me with a noble face? "

Xiayun was shaken by him like this, the chains on her body seemed to go crazy, and she desperately stuck out the sharp thorns, piercing into his flesh and blood.He twitched in pain and couldn't help crying out in pain.

Seeing this, Feng Yan also seemed to calm down.He took a breath, let go of Xiayun, and then raised his drooping face: "Master, don't even think about running away, just stay here obediently. Next time, I have no choice but to can kill you."

Fengyan pressed her chin, Xiayun reluctantly opened her mouth, and said: "You didn't kill me, just because you found out, I can't die, right?"

A cold light flashed in Fengyan's eyes.He withdrew his hand and grabbed Xiayun's neck suddenly.

Seeing Xiayun's painful face, he smiled slightly, put his face close to Xiayun's ear, and said in a low voice: "You are worrying too much. After the war is over, I will set fire to the mountain. I will take a look at that time. You are still immortal."

Xiayun opened her mouth with difficulty, and said, "I...wouldn't let you do that."

Fengyan sneered, withdrew her hand, and looked at the blood on her hand with disgust: "Master, we will wait and see."

After finishing speaking, Feng Yan waved her hand and smashed Uncle Ning's body into powder.He seemed to be still angry, and walked to the piece of powder again, raised his foot and stepped on it a few times, and then disappeared into the darkness just like when he came.

Xia Yun felt the pain all over her body was unbearable, and she vomited a large amount of blood when she opened her mouth.

"Uncle Ning..."

A drop of transparent liquid fell, followed by a second, and a third.

"I hurt you."

Xiayun almost gritted her teeth, and her eyes turned red.He shed tears silently, and the sound of water droplets could be clearly heard in the silent cave.

After a long time, after the tears on her face dried up, Xiayun finally couldn't bear it, and passed out again.

He didn't know how long he had been in a coma, and when he woke up again, he was still tied in place, and the surroundings were still pitch black.

Xiayun gritted her teeth, twisting desperately, trying to break free from the chain.As he moved, more sharp thorns emerged from those chains, piercing into his body densely.

A large pile of gold and red fell, causing waves of unstoppable trembling.Xiayun was sweating coldly, she felt as if her body was soaked in a lake in winter, but her forehead was as hot as fire.

His eyes blurred, and he fell into a deep sleep again.After waking up, he ignored the injuries on his body and shook and shook violently again, trying to break free from those chains.

The severe pain made him fall into a coma again.After regaining consciousness, he bit his lower lip firmly again, and continued to wrestle and struggle with the chain...

After repeating it countless times, those chains seemed to have reached their limit, and no more thorns protruded.

At this time, Xiayun's body was riddled with holes, and the golden-red blood soaked through the white clothes, spilling all over the ground.

Xia Yun closed her eyes, thinking of Uncle Ning's mournful face, Lan'er's smiling face, and those people who were dying...

He gritted his teeth, and beads of sweat dripped down his face.

"Squeak-"

With a crackling sound, the chain on the right wrist fell off, and the spikes on it also retracted.

Xiayun opened her eyes, and saw her right hand was dripping with blood, hanging limply, but she couldn't move at all.

Seeing this, Xiayun was overjoyed, and exerted force again, moving towards the direction of the left wrist.

After a long time, the chain on the left wrist also fell off.Xiayun couldn't care less about panting, closed her eyes again, and continued to exert force on other parts——

After the last piece of chain fell, he also regained a little feeling in his right hand.He moved his hand little by little, pressed the nail embedded in his chest, and pulled it out forcefully.

"Ugh..."

The moment the nail was pulled out, Xiayun fell to the ground, almost fainting from the pain.The ground was full of blood, some had dried up, and some had just been added.

In the golden red, there seemed to be a small white shadow, swaying gently with his breathing...

Xiayun was in a daze for a long time, and then sat up on the ground, but she couldn't hold on, and fell against the stone wall.

"Fengyan—"

Xiayun's eyes were burning with a cold flame of revenge.He held onto the ground, wanting to seek Fengyan's revenge immediately, but just now he broke free from the chain, and all his strength has been exhausted.

He sat in the dark for a long time, and he didn't know how many days and nights had passed outside.The blood on the ground slowly solidified, and the body also changed from wet and cold to sticky, and then dried up bit by bit.

He knew that there was not much time left for him.If Fengyan really launches a war, then Sulan will change from the current Anle Township to a place where the people live in dire straits.

—In any case, he must be stopped.

Xiayun crossed her legs, closed her eyes and concentrated on practicing.After he felt that [-]% of his mana had recovered, he opened his eyes and stood up slowly.

He opened and closed his hands, and after confirming that his body was mostly healed, he took a step and walked towards the entrance of the cave.

Along the way, he saw dried blood on the ground.Among those dull golden reds, a few stars of white shadows swayed gently.

"This is……"

After walking for a long time and finding those white shadows all over the place, Xiayun couldn't help lighting up a glow, leaning over to check.

Under the illumination of fluorescent lights, those white shadows became agitated, rapidly raised and grew——

In the bloodstains all over the ground, several plants of Tumi unexpectedly grew.Those small pure white flowers with light yellow stamens are full of fragrance in the thick smell of blood.

"Tumi...?"

Xiayun murmured softly.

"Tu Mi does not compete for spring... Lonely blooms the latest."

He stood blankly for a while, then smiled softly: "Now, even if I don't want to, I can only..."

He stood up, as if he had made up his mind, and rushed out of the cave.

Behind him, those white petals gradually turned blood red, and then withered one by one.

The author has something to say: "Tu Mi does not compete for spring, and loneliness blooms the latest."

Here is a quote from Su Shi's poem "Du Yi's Tour of Wuchang Seeing the Salary at the Tea Flower Bodhisattva Spring".

P / s:

In the cave, Xiayun will temporarily lose his mana because he is in a near-death state.

As mentioned before, Xiayun is a spiritual body bred by the Wanren Mountains, and life is connected with the mountains.

Even if he was mortally wounded, as long as the mountain was not destroyed, the wound would heal itself.

Fengyan discovered this, and in order to prevent the wound from healing, she placed a large nail on Xiayun's wound to separate the flesh and blood at both ends.

Since the fatal wound could not be healed, Xiayun was in a half-dead state. It was very hard to live in this situation, let alone use mana.

(If you feel abstract, you can imagine yourself splitting a ball of slime into two halves. In order to prevent them from rebonding, a partition is placed between the two balls of slime)

In addition, Xiayun is a fairy, and the flesh wounds caused by mortals will not make him feel pain, but the fatal wounds are different.
