Chapter 435 Old and arrogant
The snow in Shuocheng was more urgent than that in the sacred mountain.
You Su's eyelashes were condensed with ice crystals, and there was only a chaotic white left in his vision.
He followed the three steps behind Venerable Qianlong, and his eyes swept over her straight back-
It’s not that You Su is obsessed with this perfect jade back, but that the gray and white fabric behind the woman is filled with a shallow red.
It was blood. The woman rushed to Shuocheng without stopping and did not forget to kill. All the evil spirits that had fallen into her Dharma eyes were left without any armor, and she died very simply.
Such external injuries are not a big deal for a Master Dongxu, but he cannot withstand such cruel battles as her. So the trauma had to go through the healing and cracking process, and the oozing blood dyed the backcloth red.
When she was slaughtering evil spirits, You Su not only did not dare to speak and disturb her, but she didn't even have the chance to intervene. She was like a mascot. After the woman killed all the evil spirits that were within her eyes, she was picked up and rushed to the next stop.
I also met many survivors along the way, and all the women were carefully placed. She did not waste time gathering them blindly. If she could not gather into a vital force that could effectively defend, the dense "human flavor" would only make it easier for those evil spirits to discover them. Just hiding in this way can make the evil spirits lose their interest in them and will not even notice them.
In this way, he arrived in Shuocheng on the third day, and the woman didn't even have a moment of rest.
You Su did not ask why he was the first to come to Shuocheng. He thought that women should have their own deep meaning.
But the closer to the evil well, the more the concentration of evil spirits should be. This has been confirmed along the way. But when I arrived in Shuocheng, I found that this was not the case. It was terrible.
Venerable Qianlong suddenly stopped and his simple dress was lifted up by the wind. You Su looked along her eyes and there were several frozen corpses of children curled up under the snow-covered archway. Their blue and purple palms were still holding half of the tree trunk tightly, like holding the last grain of millet to save lives.
You Su's Adam's apple moved. At this moment, the wind and snow swept across the flying cloth on both sides of the long street. Half of the blood-soaked notice was particularly eye-catching - "The relief grain in the sacred mountain has arrived, so hurry to Xue Township to collect it."
Xuexiang Residence is a strange place where Yousu and Oshuo Venerables discovered that there is a strange place in Shuocheng. Along the way, You Su basically told the women everything he learned about.
"They believe this nonsense until they die." Venerable Qianlong's voice was wrapped in the wind, sharper than an ice cone.
The rotten air in the air is disgusting, and You Su only feels that people's hearts are sinister. Those who go to get food may become the food for the evil spirits first.
"That Jing is really near Shuocheng? Why are there not many evil spirits here?"
Qianlong Haosheng frowned, as if he was thinking about this question. She ran over the notice with her deer leather boots embroidered with dragon patterns, and a string of bright red bloomed on the snow, and the frozen river of blood under the ice began to melt.
You Su's pupils suddenly shrank.
Those "blood rivers" suddenly surged, and countless white boned palms poked out from the sticky black water. The snow field that was still silent just now sounded one after another, and every cry tear opened a "frozen corpse" - those evil spirits that were not the people at all, but were covered with human skin!
"Back back!"
Venerable Qianlong rolled up his sleeves, and nine mysterious ice dragons broke through the air. The dragon roar shattered the snow all over the sky, but turned into blue smoke when it touched the black water.
You Su's Mo Song sword barely cut off a rotten corpse that was coming. The tremor from the sword tip made his tiger's mouth numb - these evil bones were harder than those at the bottom of the sea, and there was a faint blue fluorescence flowing in each crack.
"Why are there such a hard evil spirit?!"
Before he finished speaking, the ground suddenly collapsed.
You Su's toes retreated sharply, but his ankles were still swallowed by the surging black tide. The biting chill climbed along the meridians, and he saw a huge shadow appearing under the ground - it was not a well at all, but a huge mouth that swallowed the sky and the earth. Tens of thousands of evil spirits are squeezed out from the fang-shaped stalactites, and the rotten flesh and blood are bonded to form a bridge to the world.
"Hurry up!"
When the Xuanbing chain wrapped around his waist, You Su smelled a trace of cold fragrance. Venerable Qianlong pulled him up into the air, and the shadow of Chilong formed an ice bridge under the feet of the two. The black water roared and hit the ice surface, and scarlet fog oozed out of every crack, making the treacherous scene.
The snow in Shuocheng suddenly became sticky, and every snowflake was wrapped in rotten mucus.
You Su was about to work hard to split the head of a corpse puppet, but what was splashing was not brain matter, but dark gravel. The gravel burned as soon as it fell to the ground, and hundreds of twisted faces emerged from the rising blue smoke, and wept in unison:
"Sir... Why don't you save us..."
The ice blade condensed from Venerable Qianlong's fingertips hung in the air, and the shattered corpse puppet crawled on the ground. The ice crystal condensed into frost on her eyefeeds, and the nine dragon phantoms circled restlessly behind her, but they were reluctant to pounce on the crying phantoms.
"Be careful!" You Su Xuan knocked away the paused female fairy.
The sharp claws of the three corpse puppets brushed over her shoulders, and the black ice dragon armor shattered, and red plum blossoms dizzy on the plain dress.
You Su's back hit the ice wall, and a fishy and sweetness surged into his throat. He could already see the weirdness of Shuocheng.
What they saw was not the real Shuocheng, but the illusion they fell into when they stepped into this place!
"You are stupid! These are not living people! They are the illusions created by the evil spirits of the dream master!"
"I know." Venerable Qianlong's voice was hoarse, and he raised his hand to freeze the pounced corpse puppet, but he just didn't kill him.
The face under the ice suddenly became ferocious, and black blood oozed out of the old man's turbid eyes, "Sir, where is the rice you promised."
Her fingertips trembled, and the ice melted quietly, like melting tears.
The whole city began to twist. The bluestone road rolled like a giant python molting its skin, revealing the wriggling flesh and blood foundation below. The word "Shuocheng" on the archway flows with pus and blood, turning into the word "Save me".
You Su's soles felt sticky and touched. Looking down, the snow had turned into dense eyeballs, and each pupil reflected the pale face of Venerable Qianlong.
All of this is weird and almost crazy, and it can never be a real scene!
"You have thought of it for a long time!"
You Su waved his sword to shatter the tide of corpses that were rushing towards him, and Mo Songjian let out an overwhelming cry, "When you step into this, you thought that this is an illusion! But you still inevitably fell into it! The more these evil spirits look like the people, the more it means-"
Venerable Qianlong shook the corpse puppet ten feet in a radius, but the Xuanbing Chi armor failed to condense again: "I don't need your reminder!"
"I'm still stubborn! No wonder God gave you two souls!" You Su gritted his teeth and shouted angrily, "Because I know that if you are a stupid and axiom woman, you will be killed by yourself sooner or later!"
Venerable Qianlong was stunned when he heard this, and a blood mark was slashed in her palm.
Stupid and axial... He still scolds me for so many days together? !
But why...I think what he said is right...
In fact, what she knew seemed to be that all her achievements were achieved by her soul-sharing, but the timid and cautious "self" only needed to concentrate on her cultivation and to agree with her by the way.
But if she had not restrained and persuaded herself, could she really make the most correct decisions again and again?
At this moment, she knew that these evil puppets were so difficult to kill, and it was the illusion that reflected her psychology - the more she could not bear to kill these evil puppets that were supposed to be the people of Shuocheng, the harder they would be. And this illusion is "sticking to the face" and becomes more and more distorted and dangerous.
Even though she knew this, she was still unable to kill herself by her guilt and fell into a vicious cycle.
You Su suddenly grabbed her trembling wrist. The female fairy's body temperature was colder than that of ice and snow, as if what was flowing in the meridians was not blood, but stagnant cold mist.
"Look at these eyes!" The young man forced her to look at the wriggling eyes all over the ground, "Which eyes are full of hatred? Which eyes are related to resentment?" Venerable Qianlong staggered back, and the pupils were clearly expecting that they had not yet died.
Just as she saw her ancestors die, the people here seem to have become accustomed to suffering, so they are commonplace with death. Instead of resenting the ups and downs of life, they are more willing to pray that the lives of their younger generations will no longer be so difficult.
"Before you were in charge of Bei Ao, even if there was no evil tide raging, there were no fewer people starving to death in Bei Aozhou than now! But the people of Bei Aozhou still continue to this day!" His voice penetrated the wailing of the corpse puppet, "What are you? Why do you think that the rise and fall of Bei Ao is your responsibility alone! The guilt you think is just a belated pretentiousness in the eyes of the deceased! They don't want you to be buried with you, and they want you to live with this pain to fulfill your mission!"
The ground suddenly collapsed, and thousands of eyeballs gathered into a river of blood, holding up a hundred feet tall white bones, like a Bodhisattva in ancient myths. Its skull is embedded with the faces of the people of Shuocheng, and the palm of its palm is not a jade bottle, but a boiling blood well.
"Have you scolded enough?" Venerable Qianlong stared at the hand that was holding her wrist to death.
You Su was so scared that she was shocked and hurriedly let go of her hand, but the other party held her wrist with her backhand.
There were countless red ropes hanging between the ribs of the White Bone Bodhisattva, and each of them was tied with a twitching corpse puppet. They sang in unison, and the sounds shocked the sirens to make the blood seep from the mouth of the Su's mouth: "The Lord is merciful. Let's go to the underworld together"
In this soul-disturbing sound, You Su seemed to hear a whisper in a trance.
"Thank you."
He looked at the woman in surprise, but saw that the woman had already danced with black hair, covering her side face.
"I wish to feed Bei Ao with my own body and never change his ambitions."
She recited it gently, this sentence was a blood oath she made when she was twelve years old. From now on, all her Taos will be built on this basis. Since it is the way she believes, she should be consistent no matter what happens!
As soon as she finished speaking, she jumped up, even with a simple long skirt, she was also elegant, as if she was a mysterious woman in the Nine Heavens.
The White Bone Bodhisattva took the opportunity to open his abdomen, and billions of eyeballs gathered into a whirlpool, and he wanted to drag the two into the abyss.
The moment the vertical pupil burst into blood, the female fairy's ice dragon finally pierced through the illusion in front of her. The White Bone Bodhisattva let out an unwilling roar, and thousands of red ropes broke, turning into a scarlet snow.
You Su was dragged in the air and was at a loss, and he complained in his heart: Sister, you can chop it, why do you still have to carry me? I just scolded you a few words. Is it necessary for me to witness this with my own eyes?
The snow in Shuocheng suddenly stopped. There was no snow here at all, and there were really many evil spirits.
Venerable Qianlong's toes hit the shadow of the ice dragon, and the plain skirt passed through the condensed ice crystals on the ground. The ice crystals were frozen in countless broken faces, which were disillusioned one after another with her steps, but the eyes of the fire that passed on forever remained unchanged.
The woman split the snow on the street, and a fat black fish with a sticky face lying in the soil. She didn't hesitate at all, and in an instant it turned into a pool of mud.
You Su realized that this was the culprit of this dream, but he also realized something was wrong:
"I also crawled out of the sea well. Their single strength is not outstanding, but because of their large number. There shouldn't be such a powerful evil spirit that can make you and me dream unknowingly. I guess this should be the remnant hidden at the bottom of Shuocheng a thousand years ago."
"Nighty Bodhisattva." Venerable Qianlong clenched his pink fist and clearly defined the joints. "In the past, there was a cult who used Buddha as his name, and believed in this fat fish, so he named it Nighty Bodhisattva. But... it should have been in the Heavenly Prison of the Evil-Breaking Office."
You Su was stunned, but he didn't expect that the enemy's big hand had reached into the Evil-Repelling Department.
"It seems that your Kongyuan Divine Mountain is really tainted with dirt."
The woman glanced over and her eyes were a little sharp, "Who isn't it?"
You Su did not refute, and he had no confidence in these noble immortals.
"Do you think it is being placed here to protect the sea well, or to ambush you?"
"Maybe they all..." She couldn't make a conclusion, but just continued to move forward slowly, killing the evil spirits who rushed up without knowing their lives.
You Su also got itchy. Killing Xie was a good thing for him to kill two birds with one stone. At this time, there were many evil demons, and the domineering woman did not take on the big deal. As You Su said, most evil spirits are not actually powerful, as long as you are not afraid of them, you can basically defeat them.
As he slashed You Su, he seemed to have noticed something, and he rushed into someone else's house and rummaged through the cabinets.
Seeing You Su coming out with half a piece of crispy cake in his mouth, Venerable Qianlong really couldn't stand his actions: "The Lotus Sword disciples are so kind? They even steal things from ordinary people?"
You Su has been sleeping with her in the open these days, but in fact she didn't eat anything at all. She basically gave the food to the refugees she met on the road. It was not that the woman forced him to make selfless contributions, but that he was willing to do so.
His food was given to the masses, and now he was empty. What's wrong with taking the masses a little? But he also knew that using reason does not make sense to this stingy woman, and he had to use morality.
"According to what you mean, can the wealthy family steal things?"
Venerable Qianlong was speechless, and You Suze sneered, "It seems that Lord Lord has stolen. It is indeed a common method for Lord Lord Lord to govern the continent. But how can you use dead people to steal? It is called "Shut."
As soon as he finished speaking, he stopped smiling, looked at the woman suddenly, and said in surprise, "You also found out that they were not dead?"
Since people are not dead, they will definitely come back. You Su's behavior of holding the sheep can indeed be classified as "stealing".
Venerable Qianlong raised his hand and a icy cone pierced the evil spirits in front of him, and his tone was indifferent:
"The evil spirits do not eat mortals, and kill mortals just for fun. But it is against common sense that there is no bone here. They may have died, but they are definitely not in the city."
You Su expressed the woman's thoughts: "So many people escaped from Shuocheng together in the face of danger, which must be an organized action, so their chances of survival are quite high. And as one of the sources, Shuocheng, can run so many people, which means that there may be more casualties than expected.
Even Changshan City, which I have seen with my own eyes, is actually not full of corpses. The ability of Beiao people to survive in a dilemma is indeed beyond my imagination. This is a good thing, so don't pretend to be bitter and revengeful. ”
Venerable Qianlong looked back and glared at him again, secretly annoyed that the young man was really hated. He seemed to always enjoy exposing her thoughts, but he was told every time.
"Then should I laugh out loud?" the woman asked coldly.
You Su curled her lips and no longer deliberately angered this stone-like woman.
Nothing to say along the way.
"Did you say thank you to me just now?"
You Su's sudden problem made the woman pause, and her angry eyes showed a little anger, and she struggled to squeeze out three words from her teeth:
"It's an illusion!"
You Su felt funny. Xiao Aojiao had seen it. It is rare for these hundreds of years old Aojiao, but as the age grew, I am afraid that only Ao has no more.
Just after a few laughs, I soon met one of their goals for this trip—
The sea well that was constantly gushing out.
