all beings pity you

Liu Qingyuan disappeared after saying a word that day, Mei Sanqian had no choice but to follow, and Jing Tunan also went to southern Xinjiang a few days later.

On the huge Tianmen Mountain, apart from the elders who retreated, there were only three of them left.

One night, when the summer wind blew the trees in the mountains rustling, Zhu Qing held a ball of palm flames in the night and came to see Zhu Xuan before leaving.

Looking at the sky covered with stars, Zhu Xuan suddenly thought of Zhu Yu and Wen Ping.

"It would be nice if they were here."

He has always been striving for a perfect result that makes everyone impeccable, but this is illusory and unrealistic after all.

The evening wind swirled a leaf down, and when Zhu Xuan was about to block the door, one person reached out to block it, leaving a gap for the leaf to escape.

Zhu Xuan turned his head and saw that it was Yu Sheng who had just returned from the ancestral hall.Yu Sheng put on a moon-white gown, and the end of his hair was tied loosely with a belt, which was completely different from his past.Zhu Xuan's eyes lit up, and he let go of his hand to let Yu Sheng in.

"Why did you come back at this time?"

"The ancestral hall is quiet for a few more days. I don't want to be dragged to give lectures all day like my senior brother."

Zhu Xuan smiled helplessly, and after closing the door, he tapped the two swords hanging on the wall with his eyes, "I heard from Senior Brother Zhuqing that you have lived here with me for so many years?"

Yu Sheng nodded indifferently, and then asked in a low voice with an innocent and surprised expression:

"Brother, don't you want to? Then I'll move back in a few days, after all, it won't work if I always occupy your bed."

"..." Zhu Xuan guessed that this person probably did it on purpose, but he couldn't say anything, so he was silent for a while before answering, "I won't drive you out, you think more."

Fortunately, this bed is spacious enough, Zhu Xuan looked at it like a small circle, and the two of them lying together did not feel crowded at all.The cold feeling on Zhu Xuan's skin would come from time to time when he met Yu Sheng. Later, Zhu Xuan seemed to be afraid that he would affect Yu Sheng, so he shrank back on purpose, and then turned sideways to face Yu Sheng.

"I asked my master that day about what happened in Kunwu Mountain 300 years ago, and even my master didn't know much about it. Now I can only find out a little bit after Master Luo Er's soul is healed." What did Zhu Xuan think of? , groping his back frantically, thinking that he was fine, but Yu Sheng was sweating in shock.

"There are still many things that can't be resolved. My soul is just nailed into my body by an ice pick. For the time being, I don't have to worry about it, but there is one more thing I care about. The curse mark on my back was because it was connected to the back soil. The resentful Lingyu Crane left behind, after arriving in Wuwang City, my previous cultivation seems to have disappeared, but..."

Yu Sheng's heart tightened, and he belatedly realized that it might not be enough to just bring Zhu Xuan back. Although Zhu Xuan came back in good condition, there seemed to be a few parts of his body intact. The methods will all be returned one day.

Zhu Xuan stopped abruptly in the middle of what he said, obviously thinking about something, Yu Sheng didn't rush, and put his hand around Zhu Xuan's body, please put it on the position of the curse seal, urging the spirit force to perceive.

The curse seal has often tortured Zhu Xuan 100 years ago, and this curse will never be shaken off unless he is smashed to pieces.The power of the curse seal, which should have been a pool of stagnant water, is still stirring in Zhu Xuan's body. This power is deep and boundless, but it is surging in the dark, as if looking for an opportunity to explode.

Zhu Xuan was very familiar with this movement, but after Yu Sheng obviously froze, he still couldn't help asking:

"Why didn't you speak?"

Yu Sheng exhaled softly, stretched out his hand and pulled Zhu Xuan into his arms to hug him tightly, rubbed his chin against the soft hair on the top of Zhu Xuan's head, "Listen to you, what did senior brother want to say just now?"

Zhu Xuan stretched out a hand and put it on Yu Sheng's shoulder, thought for a while before changing his voice:

"Actually, it's nothing, I just want to know, since when did you treat me... well..."

Yu Sheng withdrew his hand that was on Zhu Xuan's curse seal.There seems to be a big difference between saying it yourself and asking Zhu Xuan himself...

"I don't know, sleep."

Zhu Xuanben didn't care about it, and when he heard this, he became playful, and held up an arm with great interest, "It doesn't matter if you don't say anything, I wanted to hear it. Say something else, did you read it?" Less those people’s scripts, I’ve read some, and what’s written there…”

Yu Sheng covered Zhu Xuan's mouth with his hand, and then turned over by himself, his figure turned sideways to cover the moonlight that slipped in.

Zhu Xuan shrank under the shadow, and gradually stopped the smile on his lips.

During his tenth year in Wuwang City, many souls were devoured suddenly in the city.It was at that time that he saw Zhu Yu and Wen Ping who were about to lose their souls.

It's just that at that time, my own soul was just a precarious cloth wrapped around my body. It would be even more difficult to gather the souls of these people again with the spells I practiced in the past.

Zhu Xuan did not use the spells he had practiced in the past, but discovered the power of the curse seal behind him in the communication with the soul again and again.

When his soul and body are fully fused, the power of the curse seal is a countercurrent that conflicts with his own internal breath and power, but at this time, it becomes a force that flows unimpeded in the body, even if it will explode.

He has tried many times to exercise the power of the seal, but this method is extremely negative, damaging his body and mind.In Wuwang City, a place outside the Three Realms, Zhu Xuan had to sit for three years as a last resort just to save a broken and incomplete Zhu Yu.It is a last resort to rely on the power of the curse seal in such an extremely dark place, and it is even more impossible to return to Tianmen now.

Zhu Xuan carefully lay down on his back, his body, which had lost its warmth but was still struggling to support, had long been like a broken branch and leaf, and the strong wind like a blade could cut it bare.

He shouldn't have followed Yu Sheng's wishes like this.

One day, his soul will fly away and his cigarette will be wiped out, but Yu Sheng is different.Yu Sheng will embark on the fairy road under the protection of everyone in Tianmen, and become a fairy king admired by the world.

The two of them are going to part ways after all, whether it's the fairy way or the ghost way.

Zhu Xuannian felt a little sad and regretful when he thought of this point. He stared at Yu Sheng's back for a long time, then moved over softly, and gently pressed his forehead against it as if touching some kind of treasure. Yu Sheng's back.

When dawn broke on the second day, Zhu Xuan went to Elder He's place first, and after paying his respects, he went straight to the place where Luo Er's soul was stored.

Luo Er's soul was already fragile, but it was shattered by Jiang Xian's palm that day, and Mei Sanqian searched Kunwu Mountain for a long time before he managed to get a decent soul back.

In a room at the end of the long corridor, there are three seals outside, the soft and cold spiritual light is like clouds and fog, in the deepest part of the spiritual light, there is a soul-replenishing lamp, and when the fire is flickering, Luoer's soul also suddenly disappears. Bright and suddenly extinguished.

Zhu Xuan raised his pale fingertips, and when he touched the seal lightly, a ray of spiritual light came out from it.The light bypassed Zhu Xuan's eyes until it slowly fell to his back, and then dissipated in the air.

"It's not used to stop outsiders, it's to stop those inside..."

On the shimmering light, everything about Luoer stays.

"It's no wonder it took so long to keep it broken like this, but I'm afraid all the ancestors of the soul-gathering mages have already tried it, if..."

Zhu Xuan glanced at his pale hands, and after a while, he held the wandering soul on the lamp with his hands.In an instant, an invisible bondage covered the soul like a growing vine, and then surrounded it tightly.

Zhu Xuan's complexion turned pale again, and there was no blood on his lips.He suddenly remembered that when he accidentally discovered that the power of the curse seal still existed in his body a hundred years ago, the feeling of being about to be swallowed up still hung in his heart like a shining sharp blade.At that time, it was desperate to save Zhu Yu and Wen Ping with this method, but now in the past hundred years, even if he knew how to control the curse seal, he still couldn't bear the pain caused by the separation of soul and body.

"It's a good thing that Yu Sheng is not here, otherwise it would be more than just arguing with me." Zhu Xuan tightened his hands, but he didn't hold Luo Er's soul tightly in his palms, but the invisible bondage flowed like water waves , "Even if it's only for a moment, Uncle Luo, what happened back then, Tianmen is waiting for your explanation..."

For a moment, he seemed to have returned to the dark days when he first reached the border of death.

Chaos was born, invisible and inaudible.The frozen Liansheng River firmly imprisoned him, mixed with the engulfing resentment that could be ripped apart, devouring every inch of his clear mind.

"Why... didn't I become a sacrifice to those ghost corpses and dead souls?"

There was no blood on Zhu Xuan's face, and the blood that flowed along the meridians had already become stagnant water and could not flow.He is like a well-preserved puppet that has not lost its soul by luck.

He tried his best to find out Luoer's soul, and tried his best to reunite, but found that even at this point, even if there were no more leftover souls in the body, Luoer was unwilling to take a second look at the world.

Zhu Xuan was very anxious.

Obviously there is a chance, I could have reunited with my fellow disciples, why did I still have to make the last resistance at the cost of losing my soul?

Zhu Xuan lowered his hands slowly, and two lines of temperatureless tears flowed across the skin pale enough to see the light blue meridians on the forehead.

"Forget it, it's no wonder that the master couldn't save you for a hundred years. It's because you didn't want to. No one in Tianmen has ever practiced the way of ghosts. If I don't come today, the master may want to be wiped out by resisting the power of the soul-cultivating lamp." Bar……"

The group of souls, which were as weak as fireflies in summer, reunited for a short time and slowly swayed in front of Zhu Xuan.After being taken aback, Zhu Xuan hurriedly asked:

"What are you trying to say?!"

The light was weak and fragile, and Zhu Xuan didn't even dare to make any movements, for fear that the wind brought by his wide sleeves would blow it away.As the light cluster flickered on and off, it floated in the air and wrote a few words.

"Teng, Shi, Yu, Liu..."

When the last word was written, the ball of light suddenly dimmed a bit, Zhu Xuan quickly protected it with his palm, and it took nearly an hour for the power circulating in his palm to barely stabilize.

"Teng is General Teng, but what about Liu? Master was in Kunwu Mountain that day. Master... Master's younger sister, Liu Nanxu... Liu Nanxu?"
