Chapter 73 Ending
A ray of morning light passed through the heavy clouds and fell on the eaves and street corners.
Time is up.
But now the formation has been destroyed.
Li Yuanying looked at Gu Jinzhi.
Gu Jinzhi took out a black mask and covered his face. He shouted to Li Yuanying, "Come here!"
After saying that, Gu Jinzhi ran towards the south city, and Li Yuanying followed closely behind.
It turned out that Gu Jinzhi had already anticipated that there might be big trouble tonight, so he built two formations, one in the center of the city and one in the south city, to serve as backup for each other. If one of them was destroyed, the other could still be used.
The Fuxi soldiers tried to catch up, but were stopped by the Gu family. Only Qilang used the Tuling Flame Umbrella to push the others aside, cutting a bloody path, and followed Li Yuanying and the others.
When Li Yuanying and her group arrived in Nancheng, she found that the Gu family had already set up the formation in Nancheng.
Before reaching the main formation, Li Yuanying discovered that there was a white light in the direction of the south city, illuminating the sky which had not yet faded from black.
As expected of Gu Jinzhi, he always does things in a reassuring way.
Li Yuanying discovered that Zhang Qingchen was also among the Gu family. This meant that the demon pill was ready, except for Master Fu Yu.
Li Yuanying flew onto the roof, then found the right angle and jumped up, landing right in the center of the formation.
The sunlight poured in from the east, but had not yet reached where Li Yuanying was.
Almost there.
It's all coming to an end.
Qilang wanted to rush in, but was blocked outside by the barrier power of the Yuanming Seal.
"What are you going to do!" Qilang roared.
"Your Highness, you have your subjects to protect, and I have my people to protect. As long as we reforge the Heavenly Chain and restore order in the Three Realms, our peoples can live in peace. This is the best of both worlds."
When Qilang heard Li Yuanying say this, he was not surprised, as if he had guessed this would happen a long time ago.
"You are finally willing to tell me the truth." His voice became low and hoarse.
Li Yuanying didn't know how to respond. She refused to tell him because she knew that recasting the Heavenly Chain would require sacrificing his mother's demon pill, which was his most precious thing, and he would definitely not be willing to give it up.
"But if you want to recast the Sky Chain, you need the Polar Cold Lotus. Now that you don't have the Polar Cold Lotus, it will be of no use." Qilang said in a deep voice.
This time it was Li Yuanying's turn to be stunned. She originally thought that Qilang used the Polar Cold Lotus to break through the realm just because he wanted to break through. Now it seems that he wanted to use the Polar Cold Lotus, so that she would not be able to use it to recast the Heavenly Chain.
"So that's what you think." Li Yuanying murmured.
If Qilang had not used the Polar Cold Lotus at that time, things would not have come to this point.
Li Yuanying felt a bitter taste in her mouth. Perhaps this was her fate. Just like the fortune teller said, she would not live past the age of fifteen.
Although Qilang saved her life, he also caused her to lose her life.
This is destined to happen.
"That's not to say there aren't other ways. If we don't have the Arctic Frost Lotus, we can use something else as a guide to recast the Heavenly Chain."
Qilang frowned slightly: "What else?"
Li Yuanying looked calmly at the sun in the east. The sunlight was like a tide slowly rising, covering the formation bit by bit, and constantly approaching the center of the formation.
"stop!"
Li Yuanying looked in the direction of the sound.
He is the National Master Fu Yu.
It seems that the prince did not disappoint her. He found Master Fu Yu and successfully lured him here.
Li Yuanying looked at the anxious Master Fu Yu with a smile and said nothing.
Imperial Master Fu Yu glared at Li Yuanying fiercely: "Stop it now."
"What's wrong? Master Fu Yu is scared?" Li Yuanying chuckled.
Imperial Master Fu Yu's face began to turn pale.
Li Yuanying shook her right hand, on which there was a faint, barely perceptible red line. This red line passed through the void and connected to the wrist of Master Fu Yu.
"If I die, you will die too." Li Yuanying said word by word, "Don't you want to untie it?"
Master Fu Yu's face turned from pale to black. He pushed hard with his feet and flew into the Yuanming Seal.
As Li Yuanying expected, Master Fu Yu was a human, not a demon, so he was able to pass through the barrier and enter the center of the formation.
Li Yuanying did not dodge, allowing Master Fu Yu to grab her arm.
"Since you want to die so much, I will remove this Life-Linking Sleeve. You must know that when the Life-Linking Sleeve is removed, there will be a huge backlash force, and you will die instantly." Master Fu Yu said fiercely.
"Yes, I can't survive, and you can't escape either."
Master Fu Yu chuckled, "I never fight a battle without preparation."
"Master!" Qilang heard the conversation between Master Fu Yu and Li Yuanying outside the formation and had a bad feeling.
He raised the Soul-Slaying Flame Umbrella and rushed towards the Yuanming Seal, but was blocked by the barrier and could not rush in. Afterwards, Qilang summoned a rain of flames, which poured down and quickly washed away the barrier, but it was useless. The black flame rain was absorbed by the formation.
Veins bulged on Qilang's forehead. He used all his strength to burn the barrier with blue flames, but it had no effect at all.
"Qillang, don't waste your energy. This Yuanming Seal is hundreds of times harder than the Yuanming Realm. Although its area is not large, it is definitely the strongest barrier." Li Yuanying said.
"What on earth are you going to use as a lure for the formation?" Qilang roared.
Li Yuanying showed a faint smile on her face, and there seemed to be a hint of sadness, but it disappeared in a flash.
"Use your master." Li Yuanying said softly.
Qilang was stunned. He looked at Li Yuanying and felt that she was lying to him, but it seemed like it was true.
Li Yuanying suddenly felt a sharp pain in her wrist. It was Master Fu Yu who started to remove the Lianming Mei.
Red threads spread between the two of them. The threads became more and more numerous and denser, emitting a flickering reddish color, like blood vessels, thin and penetrating.
When the red thread was pulled out of Li Yuanying's body, she felt as if her life was being drained away.
"Master! Stop it! She will die!" Qilang's voice became hoarse.
"Master, you promised me!" Qilang began to plead.
"Don't cry." Li Yuanying looked at Qilang and uttered these two words firmly.
Then she took out a dagger and stabbed at the white jade mask of Master Fu Yu.
All this happened so suddenly that Master Fu Yu had no time to react. With a click, he heard the sound of the mask shattering.
Master Fu Yu let out a terrible scream, he knelt down with his mask covering his face, and howled continuously.
Puffs of black smoke emerged from his mask, thick and smelly.
Master Fu Yu's originally young skin began to become as dry as a stick, and then slowly wrinkled, with countless wrinkles crawling up. He was constantly losing his vitality and turned into a dried-up old man.
"Master..." Qilang was stunned.
The red line suddenly became rampant. Originally, the life was slowly being drawn out of Li Yuanying's body, but now it began to flow from Master Fu Yu's body to Li Yuanying.
Then, the red line dissipated and disappeared into a wisp of red smoke.
"You - vicious woman!" Master Fu Yu growled from his throat and pounced on Li Yuanying.
However, Li Yuanying stabbed the dagger into his chest. Master Fu Yu froze in place without moving. There was not a drop of blood on the dagger. He stood there like a dried corpse.
The white jade mask on Master Fu Yu's face cracked, revealing the disgusting appearance inside. He had turned into a mummy, with only wrinkled skin attached to his bones. His hair turned white in an instant, and his eyes were cloudy, like a centenarian.
"Master Fu Yu, you are living by relying on this monster." Li Yuanying pulled the dagger out of his chest, and then kicked the mask that fell to the ground.
"A human and a demon in the same body." Li Yuanying chuckled again.
Imperial Master Fu Yu stared with unwilling eyes, slowly fell down, muttering: "You - how did you -"
"You want to ask how I saw through you?" Li Yuanying shrugged. "That's not difficult. From your words and actions, I can tell you know Qilang's mother. Since you have such a deep connection with the demon race, your age is unreasonable for a human. So the only possibility is that you have relied on something to survive for hundreds of years. After thinking about it, it can only be this mask you wear every day."
Li Yuanying took a gamble, and this time, she won again.
Lian Ming sleeve.
The host and the parasite are connected, and theoretically they live and die together. However, if the host's life is maintained by something else, if the parasite dies, the host will be saved by this other thing.
Li Yuanying first tricked Master Fu Yu into untying the Lian Ming Mei, and then shattered his mask, making it impossible for him to be resurrected through the mask.
Master Fu Yu saw Li Yuanying in the formation and was afraid that she would use herself as a trigger to recast the Heavenly Chain, which would kill him as well. That was why he was so anxious to untie the Life-Linking Sleeve.
Now he finally realized that he had been careless, but it was too late. The Imperial Master fell to the cold ground and gradually fell into death.
Qilang breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Li Yuanying was fine.
At this time, the first ray of sunlight shone into the formation, and Li Yuanying knew that the time had come.
Zhang Qingchen rushed into the formation and handed the demon pill to Li Yuanying. She signaled Zhang Qingchen to stay away.
When the sunlight shone on the magic pill in Li Yuanying's hand, a strong light emanated from the magic pill, and a huge plum blossom appeared behind Li Yuanying. The plum blossom rotated and absorbed the light emitted by the magic pill, and then grew bigger and bigger.
The white plum blossoms look beautiful and charming in the early morning, and the holy light covers the entire Chang'an, which makes everyone sigh.
Li Yuanying's body became more and more transparent, and she did not feel any pain.
In the dazzling light, she vaguely saw Qilang's face calling out to her sadly, but she could not respond to him.
This is her mission, a mission destined for her since birth.
It turns out that the so-called Heavenly Chain is her true form - Plum Blossom.
The plum blossoms bloomed between heaven and earth, attracting a wealth of spiritual energy. Their gentle glow purified everything it touched. The spiritual energy of all living things flowed like crystal-clear water, forming streams and rivers that nourished the plum blossoms, allowing them to grow even larger.
Fairy Shengle, Fairy Miaoling, and Fairy Puxian were summoned. They appeared in the air, and at this time they had completely shed their appearance as monsters.
"Kill him!"
At this moment, a calm man's voice sounded.
Qilang looked in the direction of the voice and saw the Emperor.
He led the Fuxi army into Chang'an. He was wearing armor and holding a sword high. Behind him were a large number of soldiers, full of murderous intent, with arrows on the strings, ready to be fired.
Qilang thought of Li Yuanying and the half-remaining mural he had seen in the Fuxi Temple. The male immortal official in the painting stood atop countless bleeding corpses, staring ahead with murderous intent. He seemed to understand something.
Li Yuanying has begun to use her own body as a medium to open the Heavenly Chain. If the formation stops, she will not only die, but all her previous efforts will be wasted.
Qilang raised the Tuling Flame Umbrella and began to rush towards the direction where Fuxi's army was attacking.
The Gu family and Zhang Qingchen also attacked Fuxi's army.
The Sky Chain has not been fully forged yet, and they must unite to protect Li Yuanying.
Qilang, unwilling to harm his own people, knocked out or injured the Fuxi soldiers before stopping his killing spree. The Tuling Flame Umbrella blocked most of the Fuxi soldiers' attacks, and Chang'an, in the morning light, was immersed in a sea of swords and sabers.
When Emperor Fuxi saw Qilang helping outsiders, he immediately became furious and fought against Qilang himself.
However, the disciple is better than the master. After several rounds, Emperor Fuxi was gradually defeated and was no match for Qilang.
"Prince, do you remember the late emperor's teachings to you?" Emperor Fuxi panted and looked at Qilang hatefully.
"Uncle..." Qilang called the Emperor.
This call startled the Emperor.
The so-called former emperor is his sister, and the current prince is his nephew.
"I don't have a nephew like you." The emperor was very disappointed with his son.
"Uncle, Zhao Yu is dead, and the revenge we wanted has been taken."
"Can a mere Zhao Yu quell the hatred in your heart? The life of the late emperor, the lives of the Fuxi people, can just a mere Zhao Yu quell it?"
"But uncle, when will the cycle of revenge ever end? If we can reforge the Heavenly Chain and restore peace to the Three Realms, it will be a great thing for us!"
Qilang raised the Tuling Flame Umbrella and pointed it at the Emperor to prevent him from getting any closer.
Just as the two were deadlocked, plum blossom rain suddenly fell from the sky.
The three fairies in the sky brought down the oracle of blessing. All the weapons were dissolved by the oracle, and everyone was wrapped in golden light and could not move.
The Skychain has been reforged.
Qilang looked in the direction of Li Yuanying and quickly ran towards her.
Qilang's heartbeat was getting faster and faster, he had to get to her side as soon as possible.
When Qilang approached, he saw her thin body lying in the center of the formation. Her figure was transparent, like a soap bubble that would disappear at the touch of a finger.
Qilang hugged Li Yuanying tightly, calling her name: "Wanwan, Wanwan——"
Li Yuanying opened her eyes with difficulty. She reached out and stroked Qilang's face.
One drop, two drops, tears flowed from Qilang's eyes.
Just like when he lost his mother, he once again had to face such a difficult situation.
"Wanwan, you can't do this, you can't—"
"Qillang, thank you for blocking them for me." Li Yuanying's voice became weak.
This time, he still said the same words he had said to his mother that day.
"Wanwan, hurry up, call my name, and say you will exchange your real name for my life, quickly!" Qilang urged anxiously.
A distressed and helpless smile appeared on Li Yuanying's face: "Pei Wan——"
"Yeah." Qilang nodded heavily and motioned Li Yuanying to continue.
"I—I have never regretted—marrying you—Pei Wan."
"No, that's not it." Qilang almost begged, "I beg you, ma'am, I beg you."
She shook her head slightly.
Qi Lang hugged her tightly, as if wanting to merge her body into his own: "Wan Wan, don't be so cruel to me, don't do this."
"I'm tired." Li Yuanying said softly.
The mission that had been on her shoulders since she was born finally disappeared.
"Call my name and let me exchange my life with yours. Come on, Wanwan, this sentence is not long, let's finish it before we go to sleep." Qilang's tears could not stop falling, his voice choked, he prayed, but got no response.
"I'm really tired." Li Yuanying leaned on Qilang's shoulder, feeling the familiar scent on him, "I'm going to sleep."
Gradually, she felt Qilang's voice getting farther and farther away until she was plunged into darkness.
*
When Li Yuanying woke up again, she found herself on a spring bed in Buzhou Mountain.
Qilang was looking at her anxiously, holding her hand and sitting beside the bed.
"Madam, you are finally awake." Qilang's voice was a little hoarse.
"I'm not dead?" Li Yuanying couldn't believe it.
Shichiro nodded: "Yes."
After listening to Qilang's explanation, Li Yuanying realized that after she fell into a coma, the plum blossom turned into five petals, and each petal flew into the bodies of the five gods. Except for Fairy Shengle, Fairy Miaoling and Fairy Puxian, the other two petals entered their bodies respectively.
It turns out that she and Qilang are the male priest and female priestess in the mural.
Jade Sky God and Fuxi God.
After the petals entered Li Yuanying's body, she regained her shape, but fell into a coma. Qilang then took Li Yuanying back to Buzhou Mountain.
She was in a coma for a full half month before she woke up.
"Those eight murals..." Li Yuanying thought of the murals in the Fuxi Temple.
"Yes, that is our past life and present life." Qilang's face was full of tenderness, and his heart was filled with gratitude after the catastrophe.
After a century of godlessness, peace returned to the world.
"Where are the three fairies?"
"They have returned to their respective territories to maintain the balance between humans and demons."
Li Yuanying was a little unhappy. The responsibility she had originally put down was once again placed on her shoulders.
"What should we do?"
Qilang smiled and said, "Kyushu only needs the three of them. We can just go to the Blue Sea and live our own lives. What do you think?"
Li Yuanying had a narrow escape and thought she would definitely die. Now that she has saved her life, she naturally wants to escape from this mortal world for some time.
Seeing that Li Yuanying remained silent, Qilang continued, "I have handed the prince over to your father. Your father has also found Li Yuanxi. They will find a way to exchange him and the prince back."
Li Yuanying still didn't speak.
Qilang added, "Your Senior Brother Zhang is recuperating in Buzhou Mountain. One day, there will be a way to restore him to his original state."
"You've arranged everything." Li Yuanying pinched Qilang's earlobe.
Qilang felt a little itchy, so he lowered his head and rubbed Li Yuanying's forehead.
The two people's auras were entangled together.
"So, ma'am, when are you ready to go to the Azure Sea with me?"
"What are you going there for?"
"To live. I heard it's a good place to raise children."
Li Yuanying blushed. She looked at Qilang, then fell back down, covering her face with the quilt. "Let's talk later."
The two looked at each other and smiled gently.
*
After the Heavenly Chain was recast, Fairy Puxian guarded the area north of the Black Water, Fairy Miaoling guarded the area south of the Black Water, and Fairy Shengle guarded the Chang'an area. There were no more disputes between humans and monsters, and Jiuzhou finally came to peace.
The murals in the Fuxi Temple were finally filled.
The male priest single-handedly stopped the demon invasion, and the female priest restored the positions of the five gods, and the world has been peaceful since then.
After the Yuan and Ming dynasties were shattered, the land of Kyushu began to recover its vitality, the yellow sand was covered with green, delicate flowers bloomed everywhere, and everything began to flourish.
Zhao Wenyan became the emperor, but he had no children, so he could only adopt his cousin's child as the crown prince. Although there were many beauties in the harem, they all became decorations.
Bingyi took Zhang Qingchen to live in Buzhou Mountain, away from the world, and lived a peaceful life.
It is said that Li Yuanying and Pei Wan went to the Biluo Sea, which is a paradise, outside the earthly world and yet within the universal world.
over.
