Chapter 155
Chapter 155 (Revised)
Xu Shulou himself was stunned: "Junior sister?"
"Don't think I can't see that these two people have bad intentions," Bai Roushuang said, sounding a little aggrieved. "I waited so hard for my senior sister to come back, did she allow them to plot against me?"
"...I'm sorry," Xu Shulou put his arm around her shoulders, "I should have talked to you earlier. You've worked hard for the past hundred years."
"No, actually I'm living a good life." Bai Roushuang felt embarrassed again.
Xu Shulou laughed: "Why are you so easy to please?"
"That depends on who will coax him." Bai Roushuang acted coquettishly.
Lu Yi was stunned, and Lu Jia stood up and said, "Miss Bai misunderstood. We really don't have any bad intentions."
"Come on, do you think you can hide it well?" Bai Roushuang's eyes swept across the two people's faces, "One of you is obsessed with lust, and the other thinks highly of himself. Unfortunately, he is not smart enough. His thoughts are written on his face. I really don't know where you get the confidence from? Do you think you can outwit us?"
Very self-important... Lu Yi's scalp tingled when she heard this. She relied on the fact that she was a book traveler, and was indeed unconsciously arrogant when facing these characters in the book. She didn't expect that Bai Roushuang could see through it at a glance.
She had never expected that Bai Roushuang would show such strong aggression. In "The Journey to Immortality", she had been described as delicate and weak. Lu Yi thought that even if she was angry, she would at most say a few teasing words to Lu Beichen, and he would take the lead. How could it be...
Lu Yi was secretly shocked. What went wrong?
"I'm talking to you guys, why do you keep going to see Senior Brother Lu?" Bai Roushuang stared at her, "Why? Do you think I will give him this face and let you go?"
Everyone on Wuchen Island immediately looked at Lu Beichen with unfriendly expressions.
He could only smile bitterly and said to Lu Jia and the others, "I brought you two in here. I promise to get you out safely."
The two were delighted, but then they heard him continue, "But that's all. After you leave, you will no longer be disciples of Lingxiao Sect. Let's go our separate ways from now on."
"Senior Brother Lu!"
“Now that Lingxiao Sect is in decline, it is indeed in need of people. However, I should be the most aware of the impact that people with bad intentions will have on the sect…” Lu Beichen sighed, “I have made up my mind, no need to say more.”
After all, he is a male protagonist in a stud novel, how can he be so cowardly? Lu Yi looked down on him, gritted her teeth, and said, "In that case, we will leave now. You don't need to protect us!"
No one stopped them.
Lu Beichen looked indifferent. He was never a pushover.
The two of them could only walk away awkwardly, looking back every three steps.
Lu Jia couldn't help but complain: "What nonsense are you talking about? And you even implicated me."
"What are you afraid of?" Lu Yi said stubbornly, "If it doesn't work here, we can try our luck somewhere else."
The two men walked cautiously all the way and groped their way into a cave hidden behind a waterfall. Just as they were about to take a rest, they saw an arm that had just been chopped off, falling at their feet with blood spurting out.
“Ahhh!” Lu Yi was so frightened that her face turned pale. Just as she screamed, she heard Lu Jia screaming beside her, whose screams were several times more sincere than hers. He even threw himself on her, “Ahhh, it’s a human hand! Help!”
“…”
The two men quickly alarmed the people inside and were escorted in by the woman holding a knife.
Lu Jia saw the albizzia flowers embroidered on the hems of these women's clothes and was startled. Was this a case of searching for something without any effort? They couldn't find a chance to get close to them in Wushuang City, but they bumped into them here?
After seeing the situation in the cave, the slight sense of relief in his heart quickly disappeared.
In the dim light of the cave, some people were seen standing in a row, with several disciples dressed in Hehuan Sect attire standing behind them, and a woman standing in front of the row of people with her back to the two of them.
"Before Gao Ming died, he personally decided on the next owner of Xuanwu Tower and asked me to help support him." The two of them only heard the woman sneer, "Judging from your recent behavior, are you dissatisfied with me?"
"I dare not. It is Sect Master Luo who has chased us all the way here. He is really vindictive."
The owner of Xuanwu Tower, Gao Ming, lived for a hundred years thanks to the magical medicine. He was a cultivator after all. Even though his meridians were broken, he was different from ordinary people. He was ruthless to himself and dared to use any powerful medicine. He lived for more than a hundred years and managed Xuanwu Tower to an unprecedented position. When he was alive, others thought they didn't have his ability to manage the business and had no intention of usurping the throne. But after he passed away, there was no shortage of people who were jealous of this foundation. Especially since the new owner selected by Gao Ming was too young, even with Luo Fusheng's support, there were still people who were dissatisfied.
These people say they dare not, but they do a lot of dirty things behind the scenes for this position.
"Master Luo, you are an outsider after all. It is not appropriate for you to interfere in the affairs of our Xuanwu Building, right?"
The woman laughed, "I just want to intervene. I won't tolerate your reluctance. Rebels, you must first ask the Overlord Spear in my hand."
"Master Luo, I have fallen into your hands this time. I am willing to accept defeat. I know the whereabouts of the lost magic weapon 'Jue Yujun' of the Hehuan Sect. I would like to use it to exchange for my life. What do you think?"
"No matter what," the woman said without hesitation, "The Hehuan Sect will never compromise. The fate of rebels is only death."
"Luo Fusheng, don't go too far!"
"kill!"
Following this order, curses, pleas for mercy, and screams entered Lu Jia and Lu Yi's ears one after another. The strong smell of blood made the two of them almost vomit. Visitors from peacetime had never seen such a scene before, and their faces turned pale immediately. Every time they heard the sound of a sharp weapon entering the body, their whole bodies trembled. They covered their mouths and noses desperately, for fear of leaking any sound of fear.
Since they came into the book, they always had some inexplicable sense of superiority, subconsciously viewing other people as two-dimensional paper people. Now, stimulated by the blood, they finally realized that they were in a world of immortals, a world full of dangers and murderous intentions everywhere.
Luo Fusheng? How could this be Luo Fusheng?
The field gradually became quiet, but the smell of blood lingered around their noses for a long time. The two men no longer dared to look at each other. They looked at each other and saw the panic in each other's eyes.
Just as he was in a panic, he heard the woman's voice: "Who are you?"
The two of them shuddered and almost fainted, but they had to tremble as they met her gaze.
The woman who ordered the killing was holding a spear in her hand, with blood dripping from the tip of the spear. When she turned her head to look at them, she revealed a stunningly beautiful face, with a sharp edge between her brows that should not be underestimated.
The movement of those eyes was so sharp and beautiful that the frightened Lu Jia and the others were stunned. They felt that they finally understood the phrase "a startling glimpse" from their childhood textbooks.
The two were dumbfounded. The girl with blood on the tip of the gun in front of them turned out to be the Ah Fu in the book. In the book "The Journey to Immortality", Luo Fusheng did not appear much, and Lu Yi only had three impressions of her: first, she was stunningly beautiful; second, she was too soft-tempered, so soft that she could even make peace with the hatred of exterminating the whole family; third, she was still stunningly beautiful... There was no other way. Every time she appeared, the author would spend a lot of space to describe her beauty.
But the Luo Fusheng in front of him didn't look like that soft girl, but more like a tough and ruthless hero.
There was no contempt in her eyes, but the two of them inexplicably felt that she seemed to regard them as ants.
Even if Lu Yi had a little more courage, she wouldn't dare to come closer.
"You are Luo Fusheng?" Lu Jia's brain seemed to have not started to work yet, and he asked blankly, "How did you become like this?"
"I was born like this." Luo Fusheng wiped the blood off his hands with a handkerchief, as if he was thinking about how to deal with them.
Lu Yi pulled Lu Jia and told him to stop talking.
But when she thought of the book "The Path to Immortality", she felt a strong sense of disobedience. Luo Fusheng was the only daughter of the Hehuan Sect, and she had been spoiled since she was a child. Even if she encountered great changes, she shouldn't be willing to become so cowardly, right?
The Luo Fusheng in front of me is much more real.
As the sound of footsteps came, the two of them were delighted.
"This is..." It was Lu Beichen's voice.
Seeing who it was, Luo Fusheng's expression eased a little: "Do you know each other?"
"I guess so." This time it was a female voice that answered.
"Lu Beichen is here!" Lu Jia said without thinking, begging for mercy, "Please let us go for his sake!"
"Lu Beichen? What favor does he have to me?" Luo Fusheng looked at them strangely, "But you are lucky. I have to give Sister Xu face."
Xu Shulou?
Xu Shulou again?
Lu Yi looked at the women she once looked down upon. They were all very lively and at ease in this world. At least the strong smell of blood and the corpses everywhere did not make them look moved at all.
"I don't want to try my luck with the characters anymore," Lu Jia said, looking pale. "I just want to go back to the modern era."
...Who doesn’t want that?
When the disciples of Lingxiao Sect entered the cave, someone accidentally triggered the mechanism, and several cold rays shot out from all directions. Everyone either dodged or took out weapons to resist.
When Lu Yi was unable to dodge, not only Lu Beichen, but also Bai Roushuang - the dodder in her mouth - blocked the way for her.
After the cold light faded, a giant beast awakened by the smell of blood stuck its head out of the cave and attacked everyone.
Lu Yi stumbled and glanced at the sword in Bai Roushuang's hand. When she encountered the two-headed fly before, she wondered why Lu Beichen had no intention of helping Bai Roushuang at all.
Now she suddenly realized it because she knew Bai Roushuang didn't need help from others.
Yes, Bai Roushuang clearly has a sword in her hand, why is she hiding behind others?
Lu Yi fell into confusion. The inherent impression brought by the novel was too deep. Since they met, the sword had been carried on Bai Roushuang's back, but she seemed to have noticed only now that it was a sword, a deadly weapon, not a beautiful decoration.
Bai Roushuang and Xu Shulou cooperated so well when fighting the enemy. When the cold light shot from all directions just now, Bai Roushuang didn't even look back, because Xu Shulou was standing behind her, and she knew very well that she didn't have to worry about being attacked from the back.
Such tacit understanding cannot be faked, and they are certainly not the fake sisters that Lu Jia guessed.
Lu Jia had been in a daze. At this moment, looking at the fan in Xu Shulou's hand, he suddenly shouted, "You are also a book traveler!"
Xu Shulou looked over in confusion: "What?"
"Tianshui Town, the person holding the fan! Is it you?"
Lu Yi was stunned and looked at him suddenly: "What are you talking about?"
"Don't you understand? The Su Lian'er who went to cultivate is Lu Beichen's original woman Su Lian'er, not a coincidence of names!" Lu Jia felt that his brain had never worked so well before, "We traveled to a hundred years later, and it was Xu Shulou who changed the plot! Have you forgotten Chen Zhuang? It was Xu Shulou who killed Chen Zhuang. Lu Beichen must be in such a miserable state because she stole his opportunity!"
He judged others by himself, thinking that people who knew the plot would be like this, and made the guess without any hesitation.
Xu Shulou smiled and denied it: "I didn't snatch his opportunity."
Lu Jia yelled at Lu Beichen: "If it weren't for her, you would have dominated the world!"
Of course Lu Beichen didn't believe it. Perhaps because he didn't want to get too close to the madman, he even took a step back.
"Believe me, really," Lu Jia explained hastily, "You should have been the number one cultivator of this generation, the first cultivator of this generation to enter the Tribulation Crossing Stage, the leader of the Lingxiao Sect, and the leader of all the heroes! A young genius, famous, the leader of Lingxiao, respected by the world!"
Lu Beichen looked at him as if he were a madman: "So what did I do after I became the world's hegemon?"
"You, you married many wives, such as Xu Shulou, Xiaoya, Bai Roushuang and Luo Fusheng, they are all members of your backyard."
Bai Roushuang widened her eyes and exchanged glances with her senior sister, while Luo Fusheng looked at Lu Beichen in a particularly critical manner.
"First of all, I don't think that these people will suddenly be willing to marry me just because I dominate the world," Lu Beichen found it a little funny. "Secondly, is this all I did after I dominated the world? Your ability to make up stories is really poor."
"So what do you want to do?"
Lu Beichen thought for a moment and asked, "Have I made this cultivation world a better place?"
Lu Jia hurriedly searched for the plot in his mind, and racked his brains before he came up with one thing: "Well, yes! If Xu Shulou didn't kill Chen Zhuang, he would have helped the people with you when there was a severe drought!"
Lu Beichen showed a disgusted expression: "Chen Zhuang? How could I associate with that kind of person?"
"That kind of person? What kind of person? Oh, it's not just him. There are many people surrounding you, such as Feng Jiuyou, Fan Yang, Fan Zhi, and..."
Lu Beichen's face darkened: "What do you mean? You are a scumbag. Are you scolding me in a roundabout way?"
"Xu Shulou was originally just your concubine!"
Lu Beichen said angrily: "Don't talk nonsense, she's going to hit me later, will you stop her?"
“…”
Lu Jia was speechless, but Lu Beichen suddenly seemed to be thinking about something: "Maybe, maybe I took a wrong path. My father... I mean, if I took a wrong path, no one would pull me back. But in any case, the part about Xu Shulou being my concubine is too outrageous."
Seeing that he couldn't be relied upon, Lu Jia turned to Bai Roushuang and said, "And you, if Xu Shulou hadn't been here, you would have become the legal wife of the world-dominating Lu Beichen..."
Bai Roushuang smiled, as if she was mocking them.
Lu Jia's voice gradually faded away. Obviously, even he couldn't see how the title of "Elder Bai" would be worse than "Mrs. Bai".
He looked at Lu Beichen again: "If Xu Shulou didn't exist, you would be able to dominate the world! It would be much better than the miserable situation you are in now!"
"Much better? After I married Junior Sister Bai, I actually married someone else," Lu Beichen was lost in thought, "That's obviously not a better me."
“……” You actually said such a thing, you are really not a qualified stud male protagonist.
Xu Shulou had heard enough, so he wandered over and asked, "Possession?"
"No, no, no, that's not it!" The two shook their heads like rattles. Even if they were not smart, they could guess what the consequences of admitting to possessing someone else's body would be.
The next moment, Xu Shulou's palms were on their chests, and they felt themselves floating away, but strangely, their bodies were still in the same place. They looked down and saw their transparent hands, and then they realized with horror that it was Xu Shulou who knocked their souls out of their bodies with one palm.
Then, they felt a suction force coming from their bodies, which sucked them back suddenly. This experience was like riding a roller coaster. Their legs went limp and they knelt straight in front of Xu Shulou.
They didn't kneel on purpose, but they didn't dare to stand up. In this position, they looked up at Xu Shulou pitifully.
"It's possession." Xu Shulou concluded.
The two were shocked and began to speak incoherently: "No, no, no, we are not bad people!"
"Yeah, we haven't had time to do anything yet!"
Xu Shulou did not answer, but raised his palm and slapped them again.
Lu Jia was still struggling: "We didn't do anything at all. What about you? You changed the world! Why should you punish us?"
"Change the world? Maybe," Xu Shulou asked softly, "but so what?"
"What?"
“Do you think this is a better or worse world?”
The two closed their eyes in despair, and the last words they heard were, "It was a possession, but not an active possession. I'll let you go this time."
They felt the weakness of their souls leaving their bodies, and when they opened their eyes again, they found themselves still sitting in front of the computer at home. Lu Jia was ecstatic for a moment, and while dancing, he accidentally touched the mouse, and the screen lit up.
Seeing the forum page still open in front of him, Lu Jia typed a long paragraph with anger towards Xu Shulou, then deleted it bit by bit after calming down.
He thought about it, added the ID of the person who traveled through time with him, and sent a message: Am I dreaming?
The other party replied quickly: No.
Lu Jia typed a line of words: What is going on with Xu Shulou?
The other party's reply was irrelevant: When we were in Tianshui Town and thought the flood had not yet occurred, did we ever think of reminding them to save those people? In Wushuang City, did we ever think of reminding the Hehuan Sect of the disaster of extermination?
Lu Jia thought it was ridiculous: Are you saying Xu Shulou is a good person? A good person who is more noble than us?
This time the dialog box showed "typing", and a few minutes later a line of words came in: It depends on whether you think it is a better or worse world.
Lu Jia was silent for a long time, and gradually sorted out the plot in his mind. He found the words in the post where he cursed Xu Shulou, and after reading it over and over again, he finally chose to apply for deletion.
