Unspeakable and strange

On the top of Fuyu Mountain, the mountain wind is lingering.The lone peak reaches into the sky, hanging on all sides.Looking down from the cliff, the mountain streams and streams are interlaced like silver, the mountains are undulating, and the mountains are gathering.

The night was thick and silent, and arc shadows appeared little by little on the moon, and the outer edge showed a dark red color, murderous and filthy, as strange as blood from a wound.

Qin Hongfeng sat cross-legged quietly, a lamp in the shape of a double-petaled lotus flower was placed in front of him, with thousands of leaves propped up, and the whole body glowed with a pale golden luster.

Yan Ning was sitting opposite him, and the puppet was placed beside him.

A formation was drawn on the ground according to the five elements of yin and yang, and ten extraordinary spiritual flags were erected around it, and Shao'an sat on the side to protect the formation.

After waiting for a while, Qin Hongfeng opened his eyes and asked, "Where is Shaobai? Why hasn't he come back yet?"

Shaoan looked around for a while, and replied anxiously, "Senior brother disappeared early in the morning, but he reminded me yesterday that today is not a trivial matter, I have to pay more attention, and I probably won't forget it."

Qin Hongfeng frowned slightly, he lost his color due to his recovery from serious injuries, his face looked whiter in the dark night, his eyebrows and eyes were dark and deep.

In the distance, a slender figure flew vertically on the mountain road, appearing and disappearing in the dense forest, and when it reached the top of the mountain, most of the moon had been covered.

Holding his knees, Shaobai was out of breath, pushed the things he was holding onto his shoulders, and ran all the way over with breath.

Shaoan saw it first, waved to him, and said to Qin Hongfeng, "Master, brother is back!"

Qin Hongfeng looked up and saw that his face was red, his breath was like a cow, his face was covered with sweat, and his body was covered in mud, as if he had rolled back in a muddy puddle. He was completely different from his usual clean and stable appearance, so he couldn't help asking, "What are you doing?" When was it, where did you go, and how did you make it look like this?"

Shaobai took two deep breaths, wiped his face with the back of his hand, walked closer, and put down the things he was carrying on his shoulders, "Master, the incident happened suddenly, and there was no time to report it." He put the things on the ground, and it turned out to be A man covered in filth and long hair hanging loose.He squatted down, raised his hand to brush the messy hair off the man's face, and then said, "Look, master, is this the man in the ice coffin?"

Qin Hongfeng was stunned. Yan Ning's corpse, which he had protected for more than ten years in the ice coffin, was now wrapped in a pile of mud in a mess, and his bright yellow clothes were torn into rags. He hurriedly looked at the Buddhist relic in his mouth Fortunately, the relic is still there, and the body is not destroyed.

"Where did you find it? What's going on!" Qin Hongfeng's voice was like ice blades, with obvious anger.He was shocked at first, then happy, and now he is furious.How could anyone dare to destroy his body?How could others know the secret of the secret room?

Shaobai replied, "The disciple found it in a pit by accident. The secret room was destroyed and the body disappeared. There must be something strange. I am afraid that someone did it on purpose. I also thought that the man could not walk far with the body on his back." , and searched around. Luckily, the rain has washed away for days, and the turned over soil is even looser. Sure enough, when I was searching, I saw a piece of clothing exposed in the soil. When I dug it down, it was this person."

buried?Someone must have stolen the body.But the Buddha's relics are still there, so that person is not seeking treasures.But why?What is there to covet about a dead body?

Qin Hongfeng's face was solemn, and he faintly felt that the truth was close in front of him, but it was a little bit off.

Yan Ning looked at the people on the ground, as if struck by lightning, it was God's trick, people buried in the soil would be dug out again.

His fingers trembled and his face was ashen.If Qin Hongfeng really pulled out the two souls in his body, he would disappear, and he would turn back into a peach tree.It turns out that this is the final outcome. After doing so much, there is no way to change the fate of others. Even if he is determined and blindfolded, it is still better than having someone to accompany him.Would Qin Hongfeng not bear it?Will he know that there is not only one Yanning from the beginning to the end?

The moonlight is getting darker, leaving only a thin and subtle light.

Qin Hongfeng didn't have time to think about it, so he ordered Shaobai to put the corpse in the center of the magic circle, "Time is running out, I will take out the soul first, and wait for the moment of the lunar eclipse before introducing the soul into the body."

Shaobai nodded, put the corpse away, and sat opposite Shaoan to protect the master.

Yan Ning's back was wet with sweat, her eyes were wide open in bewilderment, the water in them glistened, and she almost burst into tears.

Seeing him like this, Qin Hongfeng thought he was afraid, and said gently, "Don't be afraid, it's just a little pain, and it will be fine after a while." After speaking, he chanted the mantra, and the wind blew violently, and the spirit flag fluttered.The top of the mountain flew sand and rocks, and the sand and stones rolled wildly, forming an indestructible barrier that no one can enter.

The Soul Lamp in front of it emitted a dazzling golden light, and thousands of petals opened layer by layer, like a golden lotus flower in full bloom.A golden wick is clustered in the center of the petals, rising slowly, burning with a blue flame, the flames are flaming, shining in mid-air, dazzling and unstoppable.

It is the soul lamp, the lamp that guides the way of the dead souls of the six realms of life.The brilliance circulates, which naturally has a strong attraction to the soul.

Yan Ning stared at the lamp in horror, the blue light dissipated in his eyes, he suddenly felt his chest swell, his body was constantly being pulled, as if something was about to break out, the flesh was torn to the extreme, showing strips The red blood streaks were like ice cracks stretching thinly on the glaze, and the whole body was in severe pain, every inch of flesh was torn, and it was so thin that it couldn't be thinner.

He wailed loudly, even if the sweat rolled over and the night wind blew, it felt like a steel knife was cutting on his skin. He was so sick with pain that he bent down unbearably, wishing he could hit his head to death, so as to end this cruel scene. capital punishment.When the pain was at its extreme, all thoughts were lost, consciousness was crushed into powder by a giant palm, muscles, bones and flesh were all mixed together.

His consciousness was already unconscious, and he fell to the ground, writhing and struggling, screaming and wailing miserably, blood flowed out from the seven orifices, and the whole world was crumbling blood red.

No, it can't just end like this.His eyes were wide open, his face was covered with blood, his whole body was shaking, he was still struggling to get up, trying to escape from this barrier.

"Shao'an." Qin Hongfeng called with his eyes closed.

"Yes." Shao'an drew his sword violently, and with a flash of sword light, all exits were blocked.

The outstretched hand was cut by the sharp sword, and he fell to the ground, passing the soul lamp blankly, looking at the person casting the spell with closed eyes behind the light.

If the soul leaves the body, it is natural to die.

Tao Shujing thought confusedly, I'm going to die, it's good to open your eyes and look at me one last time, after all, from now on, there will only be Yanning, and there will be no more me.

Manipulating the soul lamp consumes a lot of mana.

Hearing another person's screams and wailing, he couldn't bear it, and became even more distracted.Qin Hongfeng frowned and his lips turned pale. He clearly knew that this was an inevitable process, but it was still a little hard to accept.He didn't know how the two wisps of remnants could transform into such a realistic appearance, which made him as reluctant as killing him with his own hands.

His mind was confused, and the magic power in his hand was continuously output, and gradually became a little inexhaustible.

Suddenly he heard the wrong wind behind him, a burst of murderous aura, but he couldn't let go of the soul lamp in his hand for a while.Qin Hongfeng gritted his teeth, kept his body still, and poured all the mana in his hands into the soul lamp before he dared to let go.

Before he had time to raise his energy to protect his body, a palm hit his back chest, and Qin Hongfeng spewed blood from his mouth, and rushed forward.Ling Kong turned around, and the palms of his hands changed, but he saw Shaobai standing behind him expressionlessly, and hurriedly withdrew his attack in shock.He cared about the relationship between master and student, but Shaobai didn't care, and hit his chest again.Just as Qin Hongfeng was about to turn around and cut his wrist, suddenly there was a sharp pain in his heart and he lost strength in his hand.After being succeeded by Shaobai's palm again, Shaobai did not dare to let go, and stabbed with a sword with his left hand backhand. On the trunk of the tree, I can't move.

The blood that spilled from his chest stained the skirt of his shirt red.

Qin Hongfeng couldn't move. He looked at his disciple who had been with him for decades, his face was full of surprise, he suppressed the blood in his throat, and asked intermittently, "You, what's wrong?"

Shaobai let go of the hilt of his sword, his face full of indifference. "Master, I don't want to kill you, someone wants you to die."

He stepped forward, picked up the puppet, and with the residual light of the soul lamp, introduced the withdrawn soul into the corpse on the ground.

After a while, the corpse moved.

His fingers trembled, and then he slowly opened his eyes, his eyelashes fluttering, but the round and lively almond eyes were as calm as a pool of ancient water.

Yan Ning half sat up, looking at the dirt all over her body, she frowned displeasedly.He stretched his limbs, his body that had not moved for a long time was dull and clumsy, he turned his head, and with a few simple movements, his joints rattled.

He stood up, raised and lowered his feet unskilledly, and walked like a child learning to walk. Fortunately, he was naturally clever and quickly regained control of this body.He was trapped in the puppet for more than ten years, and finally felt the ground under his feet again for the first time, the coolness of the night wind blowing on his body, and even the sticky and thick wet mud on his body was extraordinarily fresh.

He closed his eyes and breathed heavily, the wind gently brushed his face and curled his clothes.

The fresh mountain air is inhaled into the lungs with warmth and moisture, washing away the long-term filth, depression and hatred in the chest cavity, and slowly, it is transformed into a stale air and exhaled out of the body.

The Soul Lamp on the side lost its mana injection and was already dimmed. With its double petals closed tightly, it turned into an ordinary lotus lamp.

The peach tree spirit's soul has not been completely separated from the body, and the spellcasting has been interrupted. Right now, he is curled up on one side, breathing weakly, and the severe pain of pulling away is still eating away at his nerves like tarsal maggots.

Yan Ning turned around, walked over slowly, stood in front of him, condescendingly looked down at the face exactly like her own, her eyes were dim, she didn't know what she was thinking.

Shaobai withdrew his sword and walked behind him, "What are you going to do with him?"

Yan Ning opened her lips, her voice was extremely bitter and cold, "He buried my body, sealed my seven orifices with silver needles, and wanted to devour my soul and replace it."

Shaobai lowered his eyes contemptuously, "What a vicious monster, are you going to kill him?"

Yan Ning leaned down and brushed aside the hair that covered half of Peach Tree Spirit's face, "Do you see the same face?"

"Ah."

"Qin Hongfeng likes him very much."

Hearing the master's name, Shaobai's face was a little unnatural, "He likes you."

Yan Ning pursed her lips, avoiding talking, "There are still two strands of my soul inside this peach tree."

Shaobai said, "You were the one who said no."

Yan Ning nodded, "I don't want it. The spirits of plants and trees are formed by the heaven and the earth, but they lack the common roots. The two souls I gave him are two souls of lust and lust. I didn't want them in the first place. What's the use of having them?"

Shaobai said coldly, "The word love is already cumbersome. If the master hadn't been disturbed by this word, I wouldn't have reached this point."

"You are greedy and want to become a fairy, how can you blame him?"

Shaobai's face froze, and he changed his tune, "I killed this monster for you."

"He can do it, but I can't do it." Yan Ning sneered, "Let him live, many times it is better to be dead than to be alive, and it will be even more tortured when he is awake."

Peach tree spirit raised his head weakly, and saw Yan Ning was squatting and smiling at himself, his face was exactly the same, but his smile was so different, "Xiao Taoer, look, come and go, It's better for me to treat you."

Tao Shu was in a state of confusion, and hadn't realized what happened yet.When the great change just happened, he was tortured by the severe pain and almost passed out, completely losing his ability to perceive the outside world.He didn't understand, why Yan Ning was alive, but he was still awake?

He raised his head with difficulty and looked around. The scene of layers of double images gradually became clear. He glanced, and suddenly saw Qin Hongfeng who was nailed to the tree trunk not far away and was dying. His pupils constricted and his nerves twitched.How is this going?

Yan Ning followed his gaze, landed on Qin Hongfeng, and said calmly, "Why, do you love him?"

The Peach Tree Spirit struggled to get up, but his limbs were weak and he couldn't move because of the pain. He said anxiously, "Why don't you help him?"

Yan Ning seemed to find it very funny, "Why should I help him? I wish he could die."

Peach Tree Spirit was stunned, "Why?"

"Why?" Yanning really laughed, "Don't you know? Have you been cheated by him too?"

"That's right, he used to be very good to me." Yanning withdrew her smile, looked away, and her eyes fell on a void without focus, "He also said that he would help me, like me, and let me Believe in him, but he didn't keep his promise. If the promise can be easily abandoned like this, then the sincerity is too worthless."

"He has already made a choice, so he should pay the due price. If I die once, he should also die once." He lowered his head and said slowly, as if trying to persuade himself.

Yan Ning waited for a long time, but did not hear a reply. Turning around, she saw the Peach Tree Spirit with her eyes wide open, tears streaming out of them as if endlessly flowing, her lips trembling, "He loves you. He has already regretted it." gone."

Yan Ning's eyes were indifferent, and he said coldly, "Really? He did say a lot to me later, but I was in a daze at the time, and I didn't remember clearly. Thinking about it now, it wouldn't be important. He is treacherous and changeable, he is the most eloquent tongue, deceiving people's hearts, he must have said a lot of good things to coax you. It's just that you believe it, but I don't."

After that, he waved his hand, "Okay, don't say any more, it's good that I let you go, I don't like you very much, don't say those unnecessary things."
