Chapter 45
Several giant dragons flew towards the monster in the shadows.
The dragon scales supported by the red airflow seemed to cut through the long night.
The pale figure shrank back into the shadow, and the shadow began to change and move.
The red dragon missed.
The shadow moved to the edge of the water curtain and was bounced back by the current, unable to escape.
The red dragon chased and attacked again. Hongli stopped talking. She took a step into the air, stretched out her arms, and the long dragon at the end of the red rope fell down, broke through the shadow's restraints, and entered the shadow.
The shadow suddenly lengthened, covering the shadow of the red carp on the ground.
The figure in mid-air froze, then plummeted headfirst to the ground. A shadow rose and spread out like a cloak.
They devoured the red carp and soon returned to calm. The human figure disappeared in reality.
——
In the shadow area.
Hongli came back to her senses. She pulled the red rope tightly in her hand, and the red dragons gathered around her, wrapping her in layers.
The other hand is spread out, fingertips tapping lightly.
A golden fish appeared and turned into a long river, becoming the only glimmer of light in the darkness.
The twisted shadow devoured and spun, trying to attack the person surrounded by the dragons.
But it was of no avail.
A river of fish flowed around the red carp's body, and the long dragon that was defending against the darkness around it revealed an opening the next moment.
The red carp pointed in that direction and said a word: "Break!"
The golden river rushed upwards, splitting the shadow realm into two!
The chanting began, mixed with the dragon's roar, and countless lights began to light up in this space.
When she looked at the empty darkness again, her expression was more stern.
"I already know your technique, but it's for shadows."
“Light creates darkness, but if the light overflows, shadows cease to exist.”
She formed seals with her hands, and the dragon at the other end of the red rope seemed to sense it. Cracks began to appear on its scales, and bright light was visible under the cracks.
The surrounding light balls began to brighten, and the dragons wrapped around the red carp scattered in all directions. When the shadows pounced from the gaps in the light, it was already too late.
The golden eyes changed into vertical pupils.
She whispered, "Daytime Heavens."
In an instant, all the darkness within sight was purified.
The light as bright as day wiped out every corner where shadows existed, and the shadow realm shattered into countless pieces like ice.
The Right Prime Minister's residence, which had become a ruin, appeared at Hongli's feet.
The dragons transformed into gold and rushed towards the shadow on the ground again in the air.
The darkness was driven out by the light, and a half-human, half-monster figure appeared under the dragon head.
There was no expression on his pale face, and a whining sound came from his throat.
The bat-like wings spread out again, and the two arms above them waved, opening two eyes in their palms.
Lan Ying drifted out of the eyes in his palm, and his whimpering voice finally turned into an unpleasant human voice:
The eyes in his palms were looking at the red carp in the air. He said, "Let go of the string in your hand."
In an instant, Hongli's expression became numb.
The red rope in her hand loosened, and the group of dragons that were about to rush towards the young man disappeared in an instant.
When the red rope left the red carp, it turned from a net back into a rope.
The young man continued, "Sleep." A blue fluorescent light shone brightly, and then the person in the air closed his eyes and fell to the ground.
"Master!" Guan Qing quickly flew forward and caught her.
The wings turned and faced the few people. The eyes in the palms of its hands also stared at them.
Except for Gu Luoyan, the expressions of the other two people became empty.
There was a sense of familiarity. A feeling that made Gu Luoyan feel like she had seen it before.
The gloomy young man was also looking at her, and then he spoke in a hoarse voice: "Let's kill each other."
Xue Yi let go of Chun Tao and took out a flying knife from her waist, intending to stab Chun Tao.
Chuntao lost her strength and couldn't stand steadily. When she fell to the ground, she took the opportunity to grab Xue Yi's legs and pulled her to the ground.
Except for Gu Luoyan who was still standing there, the two people behind him were already in a mess and fighting with each other.
Gu Luoyan saw the monster's puzzled expression on its face. The eye in his palm looked upwards, and he also raised his head and uttered another word:
"come down."
Guan Qing's wings that were carrying her and Hong Li began to lose control. The wings stopped vibrating. She took a deep breath, and her body began to fall into the ruins along with her center of gravity.
After doing this, the young man looked at Gu Luoyan again. This time, Gu Luoyan knew where the familiar feeling came from.
——That was the state when Nian Qing cast the fox charm. Perhaps it could be said that the blue light that appeared in his eyes at this moment was the fox charm!
Seven stars lit up one after another, and she looked directly at the monster.
Once again, coincidence was imposed.
The wind suddenly picked up, bringing sand and stones with it, blowing towards the young man. The sand and stones blew into the eyes in the palm of his hand, so the eyes closed and the blue halo dissipated.
Chun Tao Xue Yi, who were fighting with swords, stopped. Guan Qing, who was about to fall to the ground, flapped his wings again and finally stopped, hovering in the air.
The rain stopped, and in the darkness washed by the morning dew and rain, the first rays of sunlight finally shone on the earth.
It was almost dawn and the sun was already showing its warm color in the sky.
The young man glanced eastward and said nothing more. Half of his body transformed into countless bats that flew into the air.
In the morning light, the surrounding barrier was already unstable. Hongli was still sleeping and could not wake up, so the black bats in the sky flew towards one place, swooping down and biting.
Finally, a crack appeared in the water curtain. Bang! With a loud bang, the water curtain broke.
The bats flew away and disappeared into the morning light.
As more sunlight fell, Gu Luoyan saw the half-rising sun.
The ruins were filled with blood and smoke, but the sun, like a newborn, passed and vanished.
I'm very tired.
Gu Luoyan knelt down, not caring that the splinters and stones on the ruins had rubbed her knees.
She opened her mouth and breathed slowly.
A feeling of powerlessness came over her, and she was in a daze and on the verge of collapse.
Last night, she did something almost the same as Nian Qing.
Because hatred blinded her eyes, she killed many people.
Because of herself, the Ziwei star that resided in her soul, she could no longer see through herself.
Those powers were out of control, like a torrent, and seemed to be able to annihilate the little girl.
Gu Luoyan's eyes were dazed and she didn't know where to look.
After meeting this strange devil, she finally saw what a demon was.
One can defeat them, and there are two demons entrenched in Mingjing.
The sun's light was dazzling, shining into Gu Luoyan's pupils, making her want to cry.
What kind of feeling are these tears?
Painful, confused, filled with regret and fear.
Gu Luoyan was almost unable to find the direction to move forward.
Until Guan Qing's scream woke her up.
"She's still alive!"
Turning around slowly, he saw Guan Qing squatting beside a mutilated body.
Gu Luoyan's pupils slowly focused. She supported herself with her hands, stood up, ran over, and saw Dou Shiqiu who was still gasping for breath.
Dou Shiqiu was embraced by Guan Qing. She closed her eyes and let the third eye on her forehead open.
The pupils in the eyes on his forehead glanced around and then turned white.
The bleeding of the wound on Dou Shiqiu's body stopped, and Guan Qing's spiritual power began to be transferred to Dou Shiqiu through breathing and skin contact.
Dou Shiqiu gasped, confusion showing on her face. She whispered to Guan Qing, "Why don't you kill me?"
Guan Qing opened her eyes and looked at Dou Shiqiu. The wings on her back moved. She said in a deep voice, "My master and I have been chasing you all the way here. We originally wanted to kill you."
"But I saw you save someone."
Dou Shiqiu was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "I wanted to kill you, but you wanted to save me, you little Taoist who can't tell good from evil."
She looked at Guan Qing's wings and said, "These wings are actually attached to your body."
"What do you mean?" Guan Qing frowned.
"You've died before, you know that?" Dou Shiqiu's voice grew weaker and weaker. "I'll kill you."
Guan Qing's breathing became disordered for a moment, her eyes wandering, and she was silent for a while before she spoke again:
"No matter what, we'll talk after you recover. Stop talking, Dou Shiqiu."
Gu Luoyan stood quietly aside, waiting for Dou Shiqiu and Guan Qing to finish their talk. Only when she saw the broken body begin to be reborn did she breathe a sigh of relief.
Her mind was still confused and she had no direction, but there was one thing she was very clear about.
Don't want to lose again.
The people related to her left one by one, and the pain was like a knife cutting.
She stood on the other side of Dou Shiqiu, squatted down, and held Dou Shiqiu's hand.
Dou Shiqiu opened her eyes and looked at her, and she saw the sadness in Gu Luoyan's eyes.
Then regret was reflected in those pale eyes.
She said to her, "Luo Yan, I'm sorry for you. I followed you and luckily I was able to block that attack for you."
Gu Luoyan held Dou Shiqiu's hand tighter, and then heard Dou Shiqiu say:
"I couldn't save anyone you met in the Hong Kong Coliseum." Tears rolled down Dou Shiqiu's face.
"Luo Yan, I am a monster. If you hate me, kill me. This is the last thing I can do for you."
Gu Luoyan lifted Dou Shiqiu's hand, raised it high, lowered her head, and touched her fingers with her forehead. "It's all over, it's all over. Shiqiu, if sister knew you were like this, she would be sad. So promise me, live on, okay?"
Gu Luoyan raised her head, and the emotions that had been suppressed for too long surged up, tears and snot appeared on her face.
He looked at Dou Shiqiu like a child.
She said, "Shiqiu, I can't lose anyone again."
His heartstrings seemed to be touched. Dou Shiqiu stretched out his hand with all his strength, pushed Gu Luoyan down, and held her in his arms.
Dou Shiqiu couldn't stop crying, his heart was trembling, and it felt like it was being stabbed by thousands of needles.
A warm yellow color flashed through my memory, and the walls of the Hong Kong Coliseum stood majestically, but this still couldn't dampen the interest of the women.
The ginkgo trees fell, and the afterglow stretched the backs of the three people very long.
Yan Nanzhi sang a song, holding Gu Luoyan's hand, swinging it back and forth. Dou Shiqiu stood on the other side of Gu Luoyan, also holding her hand, and smiled at Yan Nanzhi.
“Below the west window, the wind shakes the green bamboos, I wonder if it’s an old friend returning.”[1]
That scene no longer existed. Dou Shiqiu hugged Gu Luoyan and burst into tears.
After Guan Qing healed her wounds, he watched her cry. The arm resting under Dou Shiqiu's head moved, its arc becoming softer.
Fate always plays tricks on us. In the blink of an eye, everything has changed.
·
I have cried enough. If I cry any more, I will go blind. The escort came with a carriage and took the few people away.
Hongli was still fast asleep in the room, breathing steadily. Xueyi was bandaging Chuntao's wound, sitting on the other side.
Dou Shiqiu's lower body had been reattached, and a bloody scab had formed on the wound on her chest. She leaned weakly on Gu Luoyan's shoulder, holding her hand and whispering to her:
"There is a terrifying demon in the Ming Palace who can cast spells on people. Her name is Liu Rujian, and she is the current Empress Dowager."
"Luo Yan, if you are looking for a reason, she is the mastermind behind this."
"Killing the Queen Mother and gaining the world can bring peace to Nanzhi."
"Luo Yan, this is my wish. Let me help you."
Gu Luoyan held Dou Shiqiu's hand tightly and nodded, and the mess in her mind gradually began to make sense.
Empress Dowager Liu Rujian is a demon who has brought chaos to the world and should be killed!
·
Inside the Ming Palace, a figure leaped from the shadows. The monster's appearance frightened the palace maids preparing a meal half to death.
Before the maid could speak, a mouth appeared from under her feet and ate her up.
The Queen Mother came out in plain clothes and a veil.
She looked at the young man and smiled, "My child, you are back."
When Mozi saw her, he knelt down, lowered his body, and made a strange sound in his throat.
The smile on Liu Rujian's face suddenly changed. She put away her smile and her expression became cold.
"Didn't you get rid of her?"
Mozi crawled towards her, trying to rub Liu Rujian's palm with his head.
Her hands clenched into fists and began to tremble.
The cold air from the edge of her skirt quickly condensed into ice, freezing the young man's hands and feet.
She looked down at the monster and said coldly, "How dare you come back to see me?"
The sharp teeth stretched out, and a big mouth opened on the ground and bit half of the young man's body.
Blood splattered everywhere, and the monster wanted to scream, but its mouth was quickly frozen.
He rolled on the ground in pain. Liu Rujian looked at him without saying anything.
When she spoke again, the veil on her face flew away like a butterfly, revealing her white fox ears, and the blue fireflies in her eyes were like flowing water.
"I'll spare your life. If you don't succeed next time, you'll die. I don't need you anymore."
Liu Rujian no longer looked at the demon covered in blood.
She walked forward, and behind her, eight white fox tails appeared.
The Word Spirit was released with her words:
"Last night, what happened in the Right Prime Minister's residence was nothing more than a dream. The Right Prime Minister of the Fallen Kingdom passed away due to illness, and the whole city was filled with grief. The Night Talk no longer exists."
The eight fox tails are like the thousand hands and thousand forms of the Bodhisattva, showing all kinds of worldly aspects around her.
After she finished speaking, compassion appeared between her brows.
The half-human, half-beast face no longer seemed frightening.
At this moment, she was like a god or Buddha walking in the world.
