all beings pity you

The first ray of light in the morning can easily tear apart the night without any excess.

Zhu Xuan opened his eyes, feeling anxious for some reason.There was no shadow of Yu Sheng around, the window was half open, Fuzhou City outside the window had woken up from the cold morning wind, and the market in the city was bustling again.

Zhu Xuan listened blankly to the din of people in the distance, and was in a trance, but his eyes fell on the clothes hanging on the screen beside him, and he suddenly understood why he felt troubled so early in the morning.

"Ah..." The corners of Zhu Xuan's eyes twitched, and he buried his face in his palms, "Crazy, crazy, crazy... What are I doing!"

Standing outside the door, Yu Sheng, who was listening to Zhu Xuan's broken thoughts and couldn't understand what he was saying, was extremely puzzled. He frowned and pushed the door in. He glanced at Zhu Xuan, who was sitting by the bed with disheveled hair, and was momentarily surprised:

"……What's wrong?"

The two looked at each other at the same time, staring blankly at each other.After staring at it for too long, when Yu Sheng saw Zhu Xuan's eyes through the hair on Zhu Xuan's forehead, it was as if a fire was lit from the bottom of his feet and burned to his face.

Yu Sheng coughed lightly, and turned his head away, "I just went out to take a look at the situation in the city."

Zhu Xuan quickly put on his clothes, and took advantage of the opportunity to ask:

"Okay...it's just that we don't know when the formation will be activated, so pay more attention so as not to mess up at that time."

"Speaking of time, Liu Nanxu is for Teng Xu, so does this time have anything to do with Teng Xu, and also the reunion of Teng Xu's soul...Brother, when is your birthday?"

"I don't remember, and the master never told me, maybe he didn't know either. However, the master did mention something, probably in July."

After Zhu Xuan finished speaking, he was taken aback, and it was already the middle of July.If it is true what Mei Sanqian said, then they may have more than ten days left, or it may be very little.Maybe at the end of July, maybe even tomorrow.

Zhu Xuan was silent for a while, and rubbed his hair twice, "In this case, I think it would be better to explain it to you. On my heart, there is an ice pick that seals my soul in my body..."

Yu Sheng's face suddenly became ugly, and Zhu Xuan felt that he was a little outspoken, so he could only purse his lips and change his euphemism, "The soul-changing array is very strange, and it strips the soul from life to life. This ice pick is usually reliable. But I guess it won't be of much use until then..."

Zhu Xuan paused again, feeling that he didn't seem to be tactful, and Yu Sheng's face became more and more unhappy.Just as he was about to break the pot and continue talking, he heard Yu Sheng take a deep breath, as if biting his teeth to hold back a lot of anger, and said to him viciously:

"Zhu Xuan, when will you not be angry with me?"

"..." Zhu Xuan was surprised, "Huh? I'm angry..."

"You want to tell me that when the time comes, you can destroy the ice cone that seals your soul, so that your soul will fly away, so as to ensure that the formation will not be completed no matter what?"

Zhu Xuan nodded, "Yeah, it's better than being torn apart because of resistance, not to mention... my body is... really hard to last for too long. I think you understood it from the beginning."

Yu Sheng closed his eyes tightly, and for the first time chose not to answer Zhu Xuan's question, even if he lied.He didn't care how much time he had spent, how much cultivation he had lost, even if it was just to see Zhu Xuan, he would not hesitate to die.

Seeing that Yu Sheng didn't speak, Zhu Xuan could only take it as his acquiescence in the bottom of his heart.

"I don't live or die, and now it's just my soul that stays in the body that has been dead for a hundred years and can't leave. I just want, I want to be by your side for a long time..."

Zhu Xuan didn't want to choose this method at the beginning, but after considering all kinds of consequences, he found helplessly that in the end, only in this way can he get the best result.If he stabilizes his soul and forcibly destroys the formation, it will inevitably cause irreversible damage to him. At the same time, countless souls contaminated with resentment have been trapped in it for a hundred years. Had a trouble.

Yu Sheng listened quietly to Zhu Xuan's words, and Zhu Xuan felt in a daze that at this moment, like before, he had provoked Yu Sheng's anger, and then he would cuddle around and coax him like a skinny.

"I understand." Yu Sheng suddenly opened his eyes and said, "What can I do? Since I'm not allowed to destroy the formation and kill those unknown souls, what else can I do now?"

Zhu Xuan was seriously looking for a way out for himself, looking for a surefire way.Yu Sheng understood.

"Yu Sheng, you don't have to do anything, don't be sad, don't get hurt, don't run around, just wait obediently at the teacher's gate, I will be back."

-

Life and death, reincarnation, soul flying away.

Waiting, parting, never seeing each other.

Everything that seemed unbearable was gradually approaching.

Just as the two of them guessed, Liu Nanxu set up the formation in Shuzhong, where there are many people, and under the formation, countless imprisoned souls are full of resentment and linger.

The world is not benevolent, and treats everything as a straw dog.Since Zhu Xuan was born as a human being, he almost lost his life in the freezing weather, and then regained his life through Mei Sanqian's old love for his old friend, and was held in the palm of everyone's hands when he grew up.What followed was pain and death that he had never experienced before, and the unchangeable fact was always the shackles for him to continue living in this life.

It's just that Zhu Xuan never felt that God had no mercy. He never died in the ice and snow and was eaten by wild dogs, he never wandered in the world, and he never died quietly in Huangquan.These are all blessings that cannot be met.

Only this time it was not as lucky as before.Zhu Xuan and Yu Sheng had only discussed the time when the formation would be fully activated the day before, and no one expected that in the early morning of the next day, the entire Fuzhou City would seem to have fallen into purgatory on earth, completely changing its appearance.

The blood-colored sky oppressed down, filled with a strong smell of blood and lingering mist, from the back of the soil continuously overflowed sticky and dirty blood-wrapped dead limbs, tearing at the warehouse on the street like sharp teeth. Mortals who run away in panic.

For some reason, Fu Baisheng was able to find the place where Zhu Xuan and Yu Sheng had left, and rushed all the way to Yuebai's clothes, where the blood was completely burned.When he knocked open the door almost exhausted, he broke his desire to ask for help with just one glance.

"What happened to your brother?!"

Yu Sheng stood in the middle of the room, his black robe was windless, and he glanced at Fu Baisheng indifferently, "Don't worry, it will be fine soon."

Fu Baisheng heaved a sigh of relief, nodded while wiping his sweat, and said incoherently: "That's good, if he recovers, you should leave as soon as possible, I almost lost my life all the way here. There are so many people, it is too difficult to rescue them all.”

"It'll be all right soon..."

"What?" Fu Baisheng was startled, and suddenly realized that what Yu Sheng just said might not be Zhu Xuan.He moved a few steps in a panic, just in time to see Zhu Xuan hiding behind Yu Sheng's broad figure, who was still looking like a boy.

Only now did Fu Baisheng see clearly, even more clearly than when he just entered the door.As soon as he stepped into the door, he just saw the blood stains on the ground, and he first thought that someone was injured, but now what he saw in his eyes was Zhu Xuan's clothes, which were as thick as if he had just been picked out of the water. The front line was heavily covered with drops of blood, and there was a steady stream of blood flowing down the corners of the clothes, and even the exposed pale face was constantly oozing blood.

"This is..." Fu Baisheng was full of doubts, but suddenly found that the room was not filled with the suffocating smell of blood like in the city, but something he had known before.He looked at Yu Sheng, and Yu Sheng's expression was not so much calm as it was full of despair and powerlessness.

Fu Baisheng didn't dare to speak, and he didn't dare to ask more about what happened.After a long time, Yu Sheng's stiff back suddenly loosened, and at the same time he let go of Zhu Xuan's tight arms.

One hand of Yu Sheng was tightly held by Zhu Xuan who was still conscious, and a faint light flowed out from between the interlocking fingers through the bloodstains and finger crevices. Then, like a rekindling flame, the clear and misty light immediately filled the whole body. room.

Yu Sheng raised his other hand to wipe away the blood on Zhu Xuan's cheek, but before he could see the pale skin underneath, more blood oozed out.Yu Sheng lowered his head and kissed Zhu Xuan's forehead softly, hot tears fell on Zhu Xuan's face as cold as snow, washing away a clean and flawless trace.

There were continuous screams from far and near downstairs, mixed with roars from the dark place deep underground.Zhu Xuan's voice was almost covered up, but Yu Sheng could hear it very clearly.

"...Trust me, let's go."

The voice seemed to have an unfinished meaning, but there was no further text.The two palms overlapped and clenched tightly, the aura floating in the room was withdrawn bit by bit, and then there was a slight cracking sound, and the aura suddenly went out.

The room returned to darkness again, Yu Sheng let go of his five fingers, crystal icicles fell from his hands and scattered with the wind.

Fu Baisheng's eyes suddenly returned to the darkness under the strong light, he only felt a gust of wind blowing around him, and when he saw the situation in the room clearly, there was no one around him.

The doors and windows were opened, and there was a gust of bloody wind. Two light shadows, one red and one blue, flashed across the scarlet sky in the distance. Only a blood-soaked shirt remained on the ground in the room.

Fu Baisheng's breathing was stagnant, and his heart was mostly cold.He recognized this dress, it was taken from his house.Even though the cruel reality was before his eyes, he still had to ask himself in a trembling voice:

"Where are people? You shouldn't go out without clothes..."

He looked at the horizon in a daze, and he didn't know when the sky had become black and dense, and he was falling heavily towards the world.

"Xuanyang 100 years ago, will Fuzhou end up in the same fate as Xuanyang..."

Fu Baisheng picked up the bloody gown on the ground, frowned slightly when he straightened up, picked up something left on the ground, and held the gown tightly in his arms.

-

The fully opened formation forcibly restrained Zhu Xuan's soul, and wanted to forcibly strip it out. Zhu Xuan struggled with the power of the curse seal, and destroyed the ice pick that nailed his soul before it was completely backlashed.Then the soul disintegrated and the body dissipated with it.

Above the sky, Frost and Cold Dragon slashed through the sky with two sharp swords. The light of the sword fiercely tore through the dark clouds rolling like thick ink. There are also living souls who have been imprisoned for many years and cannot live in peace.

Yu Sheng stood above the eyes of the formation, and the blood-red light undulated like a wave, burning everything it passed through.He lightly raised his hand, and the Longyin Sword slammed down fiercely, with a "Zheng--" it went straight into the eyes of the formation, and in an instant the ground around it cracked and the loess flew up.

Without Zhu Xuan's complete soul in the formation, there was no way to complete the final mission. Countless souls fled out without restraint, but many of them were still burned to ashes.

Yu Sheng looked at each other coldly, but he still summoned the Frost and Cold Sword. After the seal was formed, his fingers slid across the frost-like blade, and then the sword flew away. .

He poured all his spiritual consciousness and internal energy into the Longyin Sword, and the body of the sword penetrated into the back soil inch by inch. The sword light rushed out of the sky and tore a hole, colliding with the pouring skylight.

Tens of thousands of feet above the eyes of the formation, the wind and clouds turmoil, the sky and the earth change color, the dragon sings and the sword shines brightly. After a stalemate with the endless power under the Houtu for a long time, finally in a storm that can destroy the entire city of Fuzhou, suddenly stop.

The sun broke through the clouds, the earth cracked and collapsed, dirty blood no longer flowed from the ground, and the souls protected by the frost sword were safe and sound.

The people of Fuzhou City who survived the catastrophe were stupefied, with large and small scars all over their bodies, standing dazedly under the soft sunlight, as if the horrible scene of falling into hell just now was just a nightmare .People gathered around the huge eye of the formation, looking under the cracked back soil.

"Mother, what is that?" A child stared at the glowing Long Yin with wet eyes, and before his mother could answer, Long Yin had already left.

Most of the houses in Fuzhou City have become ruins. Although it is the best result, there are still many people buried in the ruins, and only some stumps and broken clothes can be brought out.

Fu Baisheng stumbled down the stairs and came to the city, trying to find Yu Sheng's shadow among the messy people, but finally saw two sword lights flashing across the sky and disappearing.

"What should I do? This thing looks like some kind of spiritual creature. The sky is big and the earth is big. Where do I go to find you two?"

He carefully took out an object from his bosom. The object had a strange luster, and it had been shining with spiritual light since not long ago. At first glance, he knew it was a good thing, but it was covered with a layer of hollowed-out silver.Fu Baisheng sighed in disappointment, and when he looked down again, the thing wrapped in silver flashed a faint blue light, and then disappeared without a trace.

Tianmen Mountain

Before Zhuqing left, she also asked He Xianghuan to take care of her elixir garden, and went to see the spiritual breath branch in the back mountain by the way.

The spiritual breath branch is a rule that has not been abandoned by Tianmen for thousands of years. Whenever a disciple enters the door, there will be an elder who will tie the disciple's blood and three strands of hair and plant it together with the spiritual breath branch. If you are not in the door for a long time, you can use this spiritual branch to detect the person's spiritual power.

This day, when He Xianghuan woke up early in the morning, he felt out of breath, lost his temper for no reason, and still couldn't figure it out, so he attributed all the responsibility to the fact that he had to work hard to take care of Zhuqing's elixir every day.

When passing by the back mountain, his eyelids twitched suddenly, feeling uneasy but not daring to make wild guesses, so he stopped by the mountain full of branches of spiritual breath.Countless trees had died on the top of the mountain, only the front ones were still covered with a thin layer of aura.

He Xianghuan shook his head, frowning tightly and was about to turn to leave when something flashed in the corner of his eyes.He glanced back sideways, and his eyelids and temples, which had been twitching for a long time, calmed down.

Among the sparkling spiritual branches, two trees suddenly lost all their luster. The originally graceful crowns quickly withered and shrank, and the branches hung down lifelessly.

He Xianghuan breathed a sigh of relief, and looked intently, it was Zhu Xuan and Luo Er.

He Xianghuan stroked the handful of gray beards, turned around and left slowly, "The little ones didn't live as long as the old one like me... The soul is back, the soul is back..."

It turns out that the real disappearance and death is the disappearance of the soul, leaving no trace of breath.

When Jing Tunan came back with the exhausted Zhu Qing, he first went to see Elder He, and then learned that his master Luo Er and Zhu Xuan probably died cleanly this time.

At this time, a group of people appeared from nowhere in the quiet mountain in the past, gathered and stood on the back mountain, facing the gentle breeze blowing in silence.It took Zhuqing a lot of effort to pull Liu Qingyuan back from the gate of ghosts. Fang got the news as soon as he came back, and he was a little dazed but still forced himself to stand among the crowd.

I don't know how many hours have passed, Zhuqing has been brought back to Luoer's previous residence by Jing Tunan, and I don't know how many people are around, but I only concentrate on releasing my five senses, and my spiritual consciousness is not at home at all.After a long time, someone seemed to groan:

"These two are very tenacious in life and death, and they still can't hide in the end..."

This sentence almost cruelly pulled back all Zhuqing's consciousness, he stood up staggeringly, his internal organs writhing and aching.Jing Tunan stepped forward to embrace him, and when he saw the man's pale lips open and close, he listened to him, Zhuqing said softly:

"Brother, I want to go out."

No matter how little time the two spent together on weekdays, Jing Tunan understood exactly what Zhuqing meant by "go out".

Jing Tunan sighed, and softly comforted: "Go, leave, we will come back together in a while. You stayed on the mountain for too long, and if you stay for a moment longer now, it will be a torment for you." Zhu Qing, who was exhausted and somewhat untenable, said, "There is a boundless sea in the east, rolling snow-capped mountains in the north, and flowers and plants you have never seen in the south... I will show you."

The author has something to say: So why hasn't it finished yet...
