Chapter 209 All Mortals Will Die 31
Luo Xiaola only glanced at the photo and said, "I haven't seen it."
Jiang Yuelu: "Are you sure? ... Have you really never seen it? Maybe you have seen it but forgot it?"
Luo Xiaola sneered, "Do you think my ghost is your city? Let alone these three children, even if a piece of clothing or a broken nail fell in Wusang City, I would find it immediately."
Jiang Yuelu: "Is Wusang City your ghost city?"
"Exactly."
Jiang Yuelu was stunned and said: "So they are still not here..."
Luo Xiaola had known Jiang Yuelu for a long time, but this was the first time he saw him so distraught. He asked in surprise, "Who are these three children to you?"
Jiang Yuelu stroked the photo and said, "These are my brother and sister."
Brothers and sisters...
Luo Xiaola's expression became complicated. "Did they get separated from you too?"
Jiang Yuelu: “Yes?”
Luo Xiaola didn't want to answer his own questions. "It looks like they are still human. If they are not dead, why would they go to the ghost city? Did someone cheat you?"
Jiang Yuelu knows it herself.
The news that the children were in the ghost city was given to him by Kong Zhuning, but later events proved that Kong Zhuning was not trustworthy. But he really... really had no other choice.
If not in the ghost city, where else could it be?
"Forget it." He sighed, put the photo away, and carefully placed it in his pocket. "I didn't have much hope in the first place, so we should..."
"boom--!"
The ground beneath their feet shook violently, and they felt like they were sitting on a rolling tortoise shell, unable to keep their balance.
Especially Jiang Yuelu, who happened to be walking on a slope. If Xia Yi hadn't come to hold him up, he would have almost fallen and fainted. Jiang Yuelu looked up dizzy and said thank you.
In a hurry, he felt a pair of cold hands. Xia Yi's voice came over the falling rocks, "No need to thank me."
The dirt and rocks above his head fell down. Tong Mian spat a few times and said with great fear for his life: "If we keep shaking like this, it will collapse soon. We can't stay here for long, we have to get out quickly!"
You must be kidding. He was the most vulnerable man at the scene. If a brick fell on him, he would be dead!
Mo Zhixian looked carefully and said, "Wait. Luo Xiaola is gone!"
In the chaos, the Lord of the City, who was threatened by Lord Ghost King and could not move, finally found a chance to escape. He disappeared on the spot the moment Xia Yi paid attention to Jiang Yuelu.
Mo Zhixian said anxiously: "Luo Xiaola knows the secret of the academy, we can't let him go-"
With a "bang", his neck was slashed with a knife. Jiang Yuelu and Tong Mian watched as Mo Zhixian slowly fell to the ground at Leng Wenhan's feet, and was then grabbed by the neck by the unfriendly Luoyin official.
“…”
Leng Wenhan noticed their looks and pursed his lips, "He's very noisy and will get in the way."
"You did the right thing, Wenhan." Jiang Yuelu smiled. The vibrations around him became more intense. At this moment, he could no longer pay attention to Luo Xiaola's movements. "Get out first!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was another violent shaking, even more severe than before. It was as if a monster underground had heard their plan and preemptively killed them.
"not good--!!!"
The huge rock fell with a loud bang, and Jiang Yuelu's eyes went dark. But the next second, the broken stones and tiles did not fall on him. The choking dust disappeared in less than a moment. When he opened his eyes again, he had come to the bright outdoors with Xia Yi.
Xia Yi slowly pushed him away, "Are you okay?"
He shook his head, still feeling that something was wrong with Xia Yi.
"hiss……"
Jiang Yuelu's eyes were a little irritated because she had not been exposed to sunlight for a long time. She subconsciously raised her hands to cover her eyes. Suddenly, she heard a cry of pain from behind her. She turned around and saw Tong Mian and others coming out.
But their situation was much more miserable.
Tong Mian shook off the dirt on his head and was about to curse, but his throat felt sweet and he spat out a mouthful of blood and slowly fell down.
"Tongmian!"
Mo Zhixian had read some ancient books of witch doctors. At this time, no one else could heal Tong Mian except him. Leng Wenhan immediately woke him up with a knife. After explaining the whole story, Mo Zhixian didn't bother to ask who knocked him unconscious. He immediately checked Tong Mian's body. After a while, he shook his head and said, "He has a wound on his head. He must have been hit by a rock just now."
Jiang Yuelu asked hurriedly: "Where did it hit?"
Mo Zhixian turned Tong Mian's head. Jiang Yuelu looked down and didn't see any wound. He looked again and saw a tiny scar with blood beads oozing out.
Jiang Yuelu: “…”
He raised his head, and Mo Zhixian knew what he was going to ask, "You know his body well. Even a cut could kill him. He's just so unlucky."
Jiang Yuelu felt relieved.
Seeing that he didn't go back to Xia Yi, Mo Zhixian thought he had something to say to them. But Jiang Yuelu looked around, frowning more and more, "No..."
"Isn't this the altar we first came here? So we are still in the examination room?"
Jiang Yuelu thinks Xia Yi is invincible.
Now that Xia Yi was here, the blind man's deception was broken. Kong Zhuning and the others didn't need to come, the examination room had already been broken. But they didn't expect that they were still in the lie woven by Luo Xiaola and Shensi, and what just collapsed was actually the altar they dreamed of.
He looked at Xia Yi in confusion.
Could it be... Xia Yi was injured?
"Ha ha……"
Jiang Yuelu and the others felt as if they were facing a great enemy when they heard the laughter. The laughter was strange and loud, and there was no one around, but the laughter was everywhere.
"Ha ha ha ha……"
A figure suddenly appeared in the air, it was the "divine thought" that lured them here.
Before that, he pretended to be a blind man to guide them into their dreams.
Before that, he also occupied Jiang Yuelu's body.
At this moment, he became an ordinary person that no one had ever seen. If you look at this face for a long time, you will feel strange because it is so ordinary that people will forget it as soon as they see it.
This face is still changing infinitely.
In an instant, all the faces of men and women, children and the elderly, were reflected in the air. The sound coming from his/her throat seemed to come from a huge bell, which was particularly distant and ethereal.
This scene really seemed like a "god", looking down coldly at everyone from high in the sky.
Jiang Yuelu always felt that he was different from the last time she saw him. If she had to find a word to describe him, it was like... he had evolved as a whole. The sense of oppression had also become stronger.
He took a step back unconsciously and asked helplessly: "What exactly do you want to do?"
The dead leaves on the ground trembled slightly.
"What do you want to do?"
"Yes. We have discovered your plan. There is no great disaster at all. This is all a scam created by you and Luo Xiaola to kill me."
The leaves on the ground turned from withered to bright green, and then from bright green to dead again.
"A hoax? Kill you?"
With a sigh from the God of the Sky, the taut line seemed to break, tightening his heart. Jiang Yuelu panicked for no reason.
"You are my people, how could I kill you?" The god in the air sighed slightly, "My way is never to kill people, but to govern people. Jiang Yuelu."
Hearing him calling his name, he felt even more uneasy. The confusion of not being able to find his relatives, the confusion of moving forward in the fog, and the strangeness of Xia Yi made him even more uneasy.
Jiang Yuelu stood before the god, but seemed to be pinned to the ground, crawling on the ground and unable to raise his head.
Cold sweat continued to flow down his forehead, and he hit his head hard to wake up quickly.
In the chaos, he subconsciously looked at Xia Yi, but was stunned in shock. The eyes of this ghost king, who had never shown any pain, were full of struggle.
It was as if countless invisible threads were tightly bound to him, forcing him to make helpless moves.
The god of the sky also saw it, and said with compassion: "Do you know why he is in so much pain? He is full of seeds of cause and effect. He should have acted with me, but he didn't want to."
"River……"
There were numerous cuts on Xia Yi's body. What made Jiang Yuelu panic was that he couldn't see where the enemy was at all. "Xia Yi——!"
A strong wind blew in the air and blew him back to where he was. No matter how hard Jiang Yuelu tried, he couldn't move forward towards Xia Yi. He could only watch Xia Yi's clothes being cut. At this time, he could finally see what weapon was used to hurt him.
silk.
Threads shot out from the sky and the ground, weaving a tight and delicate cage. No matter where Xia Yi was, the cage followed closely. The threads bound Xia Yi's wrists, joints, neck... like the strings of a puppet. Who else but God could bind the Ghost King!
He turned around and flew into a rage, "You did it, you did it!"
"You are wrong, my child. Didn't the wizards teach you what color God is?"
Jiang Yuelu was stunned.
He doesn't like to go to class. He doesn't come to the college to study.
But that was his first class at the academy, so he still remembered it - God has no color.
He is one with everything in the world and He is everywhere, so He has no color.
Jiang Yuelu raised her head and looked at Xia Yi again with wet eyes...those silk threads were black.
"Whose color is black?" The god asked mercifully. Jiang Yuelu himself was getting uneasy. Why would he question the merciful god? He was so forgiving that he forgave his offense.
"Black... is..."
Pah.
The taut string in his mind broke.
The only one who is superior to the current Ghost King and can stand shoulder to shoulder with the gods is the legendary...
Ghosts...are black.
The god looked at him gently, "My child, you finally understand. Everything I did was actually for you."
A strange feeling surged in his chest, and Jiang Yuelu said to himself, "For me?"
"Yes. Look around here, is this still the same examination room?"
Jiang Yuelu looked around vaguely. Tong Mian and the others had disappeared, and Xia Yi's figure also became distant. He seemed to be taken to a strange place high in the sky.
There were tall buildings everywhere below, and mountains and water in the distance. It seemed like a whole human city, and in the distance there were still human wilderness. He saw countless small grids, with thousands of lights flickering peacefully.
He was once one of them.
Who did he sit with for dinner? Who was he teaching? Who were those three blurry figures? His mind slowed down. Standing too close to the gods was too much for him to bear.
"Everywhere is an examination hall, and the world is the biggest one. Do you know what I am going to use it for?" The god's tone was extremely light, and his white eyes looking into the distance showed fanaticism.
"boom--!"
A shadow fell from the sky, like a stone, and created a hole in the ground.
Jiang Yuelu slowly moved towards the pit and saw Luo Xiaola lying face down, his life or death unknown.
"I have a cooperation with him, but the scope of the cooperation is much broader than you expected. He thought that the no-sorrow flower only needed to be planted in this small examination room, but in fact, I have made the no-sorrow flower bloom all over the world."
"The world..." Jiang Yuelu said unconsciously: "You mean, everything on this land..."
"Yes, everyone. Now they are all in the most desperate state of mind in their lives. How can there be no regrets and pain in the world? Even a little child will cry all night because of missing his mother. As long as there is a little chance of mourning, the flowers will bloom... They will die in full bloom."
The god smiled like a spring breeze, "Luo Xiaola himself doesn't know that he is actually much more powerful than his brother. After all... pain lasts much longer than joy."
Jiang Yuelu: "What exactly do you want to do...let so many people die?"
"Me? I said it. I did all this for you."
"Do you know how long I have been waiting for this day? For the true gods to come again, for the world to sing to welcome the gods again... Aren't the cries of these mortals the best music? I no longer have any wizards in the Mo family who can sing to comfort the gods. Don't mortals want to give me this happiness in return?"
"All mortals will eventually die, lighter than a feather, heavier than Mount Tai. From now on, they don't have to choose for themselves."
"I am the god they admire and love the most... I will guide them to cycle through the land of life and death, just like I did thousands of years ago..."
Jiang Yuelu's vision was almost blurred, and a hazy round sun was reflected on his retina.
There was wailing and screaming everywhere. His synesthesia expanded to the extreme at this moment, as if it could connect heaven and earth, and as if it could touch everyone.
The sound coming from the other end was intermittent, and after listening for a long time, he finally understood.
That was God sighing quietly, striking his heart and soul.
"If you hadn't burned yourself to find me, how would I have found you in the three thousand worlds? Someone has been trying hard to hide your whereabouts for a hundred years..."
