A gentleman riding a red dust smile

Song Lingshuang told Changsun Jue that he would be infected with the red flame disease.

Changsun Jue pondered for a moment, "I can't figure it out, you and I have both taken Mr. Chang's elixir. I am immune to dark spiritual power, why can't you?"

Song Lingshuang said helplessly, "I can't figure this out either. After I was injured in the fight against the walking corpse at Wanguiya for the first time, the injury has not been good. There is a strange force running around in my body. The more I use my spiritual power to adjust The breath in the body became more chaotic. After thinking about it carefully, the symptoms at that time were also consistent with the red flame epidemic. If I hadn't met Brilliance and used up all the dark spiritual power in my body by mistake, I might have been bleeding from all seven orifices. And died."

Changsun Jue: "You used the dark spiritual power in the amethyst stone on Yingzhu Peak to deal with Hua Zhongyang, because you had doubts for a long time?"

Song Lingshuang did not deny it, "At first I was just guessing. But I felt the unique feeling of spiritual power clashing before I confirmed it."

Changsun Jue: "That's why you came up with a way to use spiritual power to kill the monster today."

Song Lingshuang nodded, "One more thing, not everyone can absorb dark spiritual power. I guess, people who are immune to dark spiritual power should not be able to."

Changsun Jue: "Before you asked me to try to absorb spiritual power in the amethyst cave to verify this?"

Song Lingshuang: "It turns out that I guessed right."

Chang Sun Jue was silent.Song Lingshuang's series of speculations made it hard for him not to understand what it meant.

Song Lingshuang knew that he had also thought of it, and said with a wry smile, "That's right, that is to say, if the red flame plague, which was regarded as a scourge by practitioners before, can be used in a way, not only will it not die, but it will become even more powerful."

Song Lingshuang was infected with dark spiritual power twice, although both were extremely dangerous, but he survived after all.Moreover, the strength and power of the dark spiritual force when it erupted had already surpassed his own cultivation and realm.

Having reached this point, Song Lingshuang simply opened up and said, "I have some doubts. The men in black who appeared on Qingyan Mountain that night also used dark spiritual power... After all, those people are in the eighth realm like my father. The monks can show an overwhelming advantage in front of them. There are not many such people in Chizhou, but a group of them came that night. But on the other hand, their spiritual power at that time did not seem to be as explosive as I have experienced So strong..."

Changsun Jue didn't know how powerful the man in black on Qingyan Mountain was, but he found something unreasonable in it, so he asked, "No, if they used dark spiritual power, why are you fine?"

Song Lingshuang was startled, with a look of pain in his eyes.

Changsun Jue didn't know why he was silent, but how could he miss the change on his face.He didn't know where he said something wrong, and he was a little at a loss.

Just when he was worried, Song Lingshuang broke the silence, "To infect dark spiritual power, you need ordinary spiritual power as a medium. Back then on Qingyan Mountain, I couldn't be infected at all." At this time he spoke very calmly, but Changsun Jue listened A bit heavy, "Because I had no spiritual power at that time, and I was a useless person who couldn't do anything."

He didn't tell anyone about it, and he didn't have the courage to tell anyone.

That night he got drunk at the banquet, and he showed off the high-level talismans he had learned in Hantianyuan to everyone, and his insignificant spiritual power was completely used up like this.

In the days after that, he wondered countless times, if he still had spiritual power at that time, when the men in black massacred the people, would he have saved a few people, and would his parents not have to stand in front of him to fight? Give your life to protect him.

"I always feel that if I didn't show off like a peacock with my tail open, if I didn't use my spiritual power on those meaningless things..."

Song Lingshuang's eyes were dim, and even his voice was a little hoarse.The silent night, wrapped in noisy memories, rushed in mercilessly, trying to swallow him up, making it difficult for him to say a word.

He suddenly looked at the people around him and asked, "A Jue, have you ever been in despair?"

Changsun Jue raised his eyes to meet the opponent's gaze, "Yes. Twice."

Song Lingshuang smiled wryly, "Then you should know that that feeling is like a tsunami, the sky and the earth collapse, the heart is broken into pieces, and the flesh and blood, spirit and soul fall into hell."

His eyes were dark, and it was painful to watch.It made Changsun Jue feel distressed.

"You are not wrong!" Changsun Jue said.

Seeing that Song Lingshuang didn't answer, he said it again, "That's not your fault."

Song Lingshuang looked at the hand on his arm. He couldn't feel the temperature through the clothes, but he could feel the strength.

This is the second time Changsun Jue said this to him.

For the first time, he covered his face with a handkerchief, so he couldn't see the other person's expression.But this time he saw it, the eyes were hot and sincere, and with an irresistible determination, they pulled him back from the cold and dark abyss to the world.

Those words were like a ray of light, shining into the secret place he had buried for a long time without warning, no matter how unworthy he felt, he couldn't help but want to reach out and grab it.

The light on the spiritual cage reflected in his eyes, a little flickering.He suddenly felt his nose sour, so he turned his head away.

Changsun Jue realized something, withdrew his hand, and said softly, "If you still have spiritual power, even if you can escape, you will probably die from being infected with the red flame disease. So..." He paused, "I'm very glad that you spent all your spiritual power on those meaningless things at that time."

He used to be that stubborn and awkward young man, and he never said many things.Then he thought he would never have another chance.So this time, he didn't want to miss it when it was time to speak.

Song Lingshuang still turned her head away from him and didn't speak.

The corner of Changsun Jue's mouth curled into a slight smile, but he looked away instead, and asked softly, "Brother, are you moved?"

Song Lingshuang still didn't answer.

Changsun Jue was not in a hurry, and waited quietly for a while, and then said, "When senior brother finishes crying, just answer me a question."

"Who is crying?" Song Lingshuang turned her head unconvinced, the corners of her eyes still had a tinge of redness that could not dissipate in the future, "If you want to ask, just ask!"

Chang Sun Jue didn't bother to expose him, and slowly put away the smile on his face, "Who knew the exact date of your weak crown ceremony back then?"

Song Lingshuang looked over and didn't answer right away.

Changsun Jue didn't see the surprise in his eyes, and he understood, "You thought of it a long time ago?"

"I thought about it, but it wasn't too early." Song Lingshuang replied, "You asked me this because you also felt strange. There are many children from aristocratic families who have experienced, calmed chaos, and studied abroad. Even my eldest brother And the third sister, both came to Qingyan Mountain only on my birthday. But the man in black just appeared on the night when my Song family was the most crowded."

This coincidence was originally so obvious, but because it was so obvious, Song Lingshuang never thought about it.But all these years, the only thing he didn't lack was time.Time made him no longer blinded by anger, so he sorted out many clues and saw many details that he had never seen before.

Changsun Jue looked serious, "You mean, there might be an inner ghost?"

Song Lingshuang: "There must be an inner ghost."

Song Lingshuang thought this way because although he recalled all his disciples on the occasion of his birthday, he did not post a banquet to the outside world.His initial thought was just to hope that the rarely reunited relatives could go home and reunite.

According to his speculation, it is unlikely that the inner ghost will appear among the disciples of the inner sect. After all, no one would send every one of his own relatives to the enemy's sword.So he still thinks that the inner ghost should come from the outer disciples.Although it is not ruled out that the parties involved in the whistleblower were also forced to spill blood on Qingyan Mountain, Song Lingshuang asked Mrs. Shuang about the whereabouts of the surviving outer disciples just to be on the safe side.

A total of 23 outer disciples were absent from Qingyan Mountain that day due to various reasons.Among them, 18 people were going to come back to participate in his weak crown ceremony because of the long-distance travel experience, but the trip was hindered by the landslide of the mountain road on the way back, and they finally failed to make it back as scheduled.The other five happened not to be on the mountain because of private matters.Sixteen of the 18 people who practiced and one of these five people later joined the eldest grandson's family and practiced in their own right these years.

Therefore, in Song Lingshuang's view, there were only four people who were most suspected.

Changsun Jue: "So next step are you planning to verify these four people?"

Song Lingshuang was noncommittal, but said, "First, this is just my guess. It is very likely that the ghost has died on Qingyan Mountain. Second, even if these people are really ghosts, it is difficult to prove without evidence. Third ..." He paused, "Even if he finds it, as a pawn, he probably won't know who the mastermind behind the scenes we're looking for is."

Chang Sun Jue was silent.

After a while, he asked, "Why did you come back?"

Song Lingshuang didn't speak.

Even though Song Lingshuang avoided his eyes, Changsun Jue never took his eyes off him, "Since you are confused, why don't you understand?"

The former Song Lingshuang would not hesitate in such a situation.He bid farewell to the days when the world was indifferent at the foot of Lianhua Mountain. He wanted to give the dead clansman a sense of right and wrong, and to give himself a sense of peace of mind.He has come to his senses and is no longer afraid.

But when he thought this way, he hadn't reunited with Changsun Jue. At that time, he was still alone, and he didn't know that there was a person who was still willing to advance and retreat with him after many years, and he didn't know that someone had left a home for him in Luhuadang. .

He remembered that Master asked himself 13 years ago if he was willing to exchange everything he had for a truth.That's when he arrogantly bet everything and lost.

He thought that he was not afraid of losing alone, but when he looked back, he suddenly found that there were many people standing around him, so he hesitated.

Man is such a strange creature.

He was thinking about how to answer until he met Changsun Jue's gaze, and then all the hesitation and timidity in his heart were dispelled by the temperature in those eyes.

That gaze told him that this time, he didn't have to gamble.

If you are confused, you will have a solution.

Then he asked half-jokingly as he did back then, "Are you with me?"

In the dark night, there is brilliance and splendor, and some heavenly people fall into the mortal world and laugh and bloom.

"Okay."
