Chapter 25
Under the dazzling firelight, red and pure white weaved out figures that should not appear.
Jiang Wan felt a cold gaze coming from behind and turned his head abruptly.
The female cultivator who had just bewitched people into the flowers was standing less than three meters behind her. She was staring at her with green eyes and a creepy smile.
Jiang Wan: !!! Fuck!
Jiang Wan took a deep breath and took a small step back.
Scare her!
In just one second, the scene changes from the beautiful romantic theater to the midnight horror theater. The change of scene is really unexpected!
"Ah, what a grand scene! It's really lively here tonight." Lin Xubai sighed in a mocking manner, then took small, deft steps behind Jiang Wan, "You promised to protect me."
"Don't be afraid! Don't be afraid, don't be afraid." Jiang Wan coaxed softly, but her hand consciously grabbed Lin Xubai's sleeve, wrinkling it. "It's just a small scene."
The person being comforted didn't show any fear on his face, but the one comforting him looked extremely nervous.
Jiang Wan is actually not afraid. As a necromancer, she has seen all kinds of big CG scenes!
It’s mainly because she has trypophobia!
Imagine a bunch of densely packed black spots in the red and white flames.
There is no beauty at all.
yue～
No, I can’t think about it. It makes me feel uncomfortable.
Jiang Wan took off the Diemeng Liuguang chain from her waist and held the Qingzhou sword in one hand. "Don't worry, don't worry. I said I'll keep you safe!"
"You have to believe me! I have never lied to you about this."
"Don't you like me?" the female cultivator asked stiffly with her head tilted.
"I don't like it." Jiang Wan felt that her question was inexplicable. Not to mention that they didn't know each other, the gender was not right in the first place.
"She's not asking you." Lin Xubai folded his hands over his chest under his wide sleeves, his tone relaxed, as if he was leisurely watching a show.
Fortunately, Jiang Wan was a head shorter than him, so he was able to hug his arms even though one of his sleeves was tightly grasped.
"I, you, love,"
At some point, the man who had walked into the sea of flowers to look for flowers appeared behind them, holding a bloody red flower in his hand.
His body seemed to be out of control, and the words he spoke were incoherent. Only the fear in his eyes showed that he had regained consciousness.
"Since you love me so much, then die with me." The woman said these words of love with an expressionless face.
"Oh, congratulations! You two are truly a match made in heaven, a perfect couple!"
"Young man, this ten-mile red makeup is the girl's love for you! You must not let her down!"
"Brother, buy me a flower! Oh, brother, you have a flower. I wish you and me will be like this flower, tightly entwined like roots even after death!"
"I don't have anything to give you on this happy occasion, so I'll give you two this candy man. I wish you two a sweet and happy life that will last forever!"
"What a joyous occasion, my dear! Today the whole town has come to welcome you! Aren't you touched?"
The residents of Yongshu Township came forward one by one with stiff limbs, and spoke out high-spirited blessings in a dead voice.
The contrast between his facial expression and tone was so great that it was even more creepy.
A sweet love wedding celebration turned into a collection of horror stories.
"Ah... I feel like I won't be able to look at wedding greetings straight in the face anymore. What should I do?"
There is a deep meaning in each of these words.
Lin Xubai raised his eyebrows slightly: "Hmm? Junior Sister, don't you advocate the way of ruthlessness? I'm afraid you won't have such troubles."
Jiang Wan: ...
I want to fix it myself, I want to recommend it to you.
"Strange, they really can't see us." Jiang Wan shook the butterfly chain in her hand in confusion. She thought she would be 1vN again tonight, but she didn't expect to be completely ignored.
Could it be related to this?
Jiang Wan recalled the boss's expression when he offered to exchange spiritual weapons with her.
"Now that we have given you a gift, should you take out the gift that is due to us?"
"Yes, yes." Everyone echoed in unison.
"Brother, your voice is so nice."
"Young Master, I heard that you are very good at refining pills, so you must be very skillful with your hands."
"Yes, that's right, young man. I heard that alchemists have a lot of spirit stones. I'm not greedy, so I won't take all of yours."
Xiao Jingyuan's pupils contracted violently. He tried his best to break free from control, but he could only watch the dark crowd approaching him little by little.
The sense of his body's existence was gradually fading away, and he could only make broken whimpers with all his strength: "Huh, huh," No!
"Brother Yuan, what's wrong with you?" The woman tilted her head, her voice, which was usually so coquettish during the day, now had an innocent tone. Her pale fingertips lightly tapped his chest, "Why don't you give me the Love Flower?"
Xiao Jingyuan lowered his head and looked at where his fingertips had landed, only then did he discover that there was a big hole in his chest.
The so-called flower of affection, the flower he holds in his hand, is his own heart.
The crowd rushed forward in an orderly and frantic manner.
"Here are secret treasures of immortality." "Here are miraculous elixirs." "Here are spiritual roots of cultivation techniques."
People frantically scrambled for the "wealth" they coveted, and even fought each other for it.
The shadowless night, the greedy breathing, and the sticky blood create such a chaotic and absurd picture.
Before we knew it, flowers were raining from the sky again.
Jiang Wan stretched out his palm, "This time it's a bloody crabapple."
"It seems that this is what they mean when they say, 'Stories that cannot be remembered will turn transparent and become nutrients for the sea of flowers.'" Lin Xubai looked at the scene in the distance with no sadness or joy in his eyes.
"I was wondering how it could be transformed into nutrients if it was transparent. Now, it's clear." Jiang Wan looked at the flames that were comparable to sunlight and found that all the butterfly spirit lamps had disappeared.
Suddenly, she seemed to have discovered something and her eyes became strange.
"It turns out there's more than one unlucky person every night."
There's a newcomer again.
However, Jiang Wan soon discovered that the newcomer was different from Xiao Jingyuan.
It should be said that they were several cultivators who had the same purpose as Jiang Wan and came to inquire about the situation in the sea of flowers.
Now, we are facing the frenzied world boss group head-on.
Among them, there was someone who looked very familiar to her, so familiar that she couldn't help but complain.
"I suddenly feel that Tu Changxing and his team are very lucky to have been caught."
Otherwise, you will end up in trouble just like Brother You Sheng.
"Tsk!" Jiang Wan frowned. She didn't expect You Sheng and Chu Yingluo would choose to come here. Didn't they say they had an appointment with the people from Qiyao Sect?
"Wait, how did they get noticed!" Jiang Wan's eyes became serious. "So unlucky!?"
Tu Changxing and his men were captured, and now You Sheng has led his men into a frenzied battle. The people of Guiyuan Sect are really unlucky in their own ways.
Yes, if they weren't so unlucky, would they have had the chance to enter Yongshu Township together?
Jiang Wan picked up the Qingzhou Sword again, it seemed that they would still have to fight tonight.
"It's not bad luck, it's still very lucky." Lin Xubai pulled Jiang Wan back.
Jiang Wan:?
Lin Xubai pointed to the sky.
"Yes, it's raining."
"It won't be long before 'tonight' is over. I see that Senior Brother You is protecting Senior Sister Chu with ease, so let Senior Brother You practice some more." Lin Xubai stopped him calmly.
He doesn't hold a grudge. He doesn't hold a grudge at all about You Sheng saying that he is old.
Fortunately, the rain had stopped for a while before, and the few people fought hard against the enemy for a while. When You Sheng was beaten half to death, the sky suddenly brightened in a fire that spread from bottom to top.
"don't want--"
At the last moment when the white light came on, a shrill female voice reached Jiang Wan's ears.
In a trance, Jiang Wan saw the back of a woman wearing extremely familiar clothes running towards the dark crowd.
The sun is shining brightly.
Yongshu Township, which was burned by the raging fire, returned to the state that Jiang Wan had seen yesterday.
An ordinary small town full of the atmosphere of urban life.
Amidst the flames, those residents with hideous faces were now doing what they were supposed to do on the street with honest expressions.
It was as if everything Jiang Wan saw at night did not exist, it was just a dream.
Jiang Wan found the two people who had fought to the death last night in Rao Zhiyi's courtyard. Unexpectedly, the three disciples of the Seven Stars Sect were also there, but Rao Zhiyi was not.
Speaking of which, they accidentally entered the sea of flowers last night, and Rao Zhiyi was not among them.
"Hmm? Last night? We exchanged information with Fellow Daoists Liu, Tang, and Fang from the Qiyao Sect. We were indeed delayed a bit." Chu Yingluo thought Jiang Wan was afraid and stayed in the courtyard, so she patted her shoulder to comfort her. Then, looking around, she asked, "Why don't I see Junior Brother Tu and Junior Sister Bai? Aren't they back yet?"
Jiang Wan was silent.
Lin Xubai was silent.
Yousheng walked around for a few times but couldn't find anyone:?
Jiang Wan curled her lips.
How to say it, could she say that Tu Changxing and Bai Qingqing were too unlucky and were caught by Tianyu Palace?
Then neither she nor Xiaobai seriously thought about saving people.
To be honest, she now felt that it would be safer for Tu Changxing to be arrested than to stay here.
Regarding this issue, Jiang Wan chose to change the subject.
"Speaking of which, where did the sisters go last night?"
"Last night we exchanged information with several fellow Daoists from the Qiyao Sect. We were originally planning to return home, but we suddenly encountered people from the Demon Sect who came to us to discuss cooperation, so we were delayed until daytime.
Now I think it was a trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain. They were stalling for time so that we wouldn’t have time to rescue people.”
Chu Yingluo angrily slapped the stone table.
"I also know a few people from the Demon Sect. They will be fine. Don't worry. Senior Brother You and I will definitely rescue Junior Brother Tu and Junior Sister Bai safely." Chu Yingluo first comforted Jiang Wan, and then seemed to have made up her mind, "Since they did it first, don't blame me..."
Use the beauty trap.
*
You Sheng and Chu Yingluo discussed how to rescue people, while Jiang Wan and Lin Xubai went out on the pretext of looking for clues.
The three people from Qiyaomen didn't care that Jiang Wan and Lin Xubai didn't participate in the rescue. In their opinion, it was better that the two were not there, so as to avoid being a drag and causing trouble for them.
Whether it was to find a way out or to save people, several people unanimously did not intend to let the two of them get involved, nor did they think that Jiang Wan and Lin Xubai, with their low cultivation levels, could find a way to leave Yongshu Township.
Jiang Wan didn't bother telling them about her discovery of the rules of Yongshu Township.
She is not the kind of person who would ask for trouble just because others look down on her and don't believe in her, and would not try to prove that she is right by putting her face in the cold shoulder.
If you don’t believe it, then don’t believe it. You do yours and I do mine.
The two of them found a high place and looked down at the entire street scene from above.
"I thought the blue Bianhua would appear, but what appeared was a blood flower. Fairy Butterfly Frost Dream, it can't be a big dream." Jiang Wan was suddenly stunned when she said this, "Ah, I think I know what the blue Bianhua refers to!"
Although she didn't know about the blue Bana, she knew Bana! Bana is the flower of the underworld.
Lin Xubai didn't say anything, pretending to listen attentively and let Jiang Wan continue.
Jiang Wan knew that he knew it too when she saw Lin Xubai's expression, so she grumbled, "It really is true that all roads lead to the underworld."
"Their memories have all changed. They don't remember the battle last night at all, but we don't." Jiang Wan rubbed his chin and thought, "I originally thought it was related to the sea of flowers, but now it seems..."
What is the biggest difference between these two and others?
Lin Xubai: "It's a story."
Jiang Wan nodded, and standing on the high platform, she looked out at the entire Yongshu Township.
"Our story was forced upon us from the very beginning."
But whether it is Tu Changxing or You Sheng, they both take the initiative to show themselves to the outside world.
Only by not believing in stories can you stay away from them.
You Sheng and Chu Yingluo believed it too much, and the story they constructed themselves also made them believe in the rules of the story.
So they were also shrouded in the story, and their memories were affected by the story. However, because Jiang Wan and Lin Xubai did not believe it, they were able to retain their memories when time restarted the next day.
Where will yesterday’s stage and audience be?
"I originally thought it was the boss, but now I'm not sure. Do you think she would be an audience member?" Jiang Wan explained that the audience means spectators.
"Hmm..." Lin Xubai pondered for a while and did not give an answer immediately.
"Oh, my two benefactors, we are really destined to meet again." The surprised female voice sounded again from behind.
Jiang Wan turned around and took a look.
It was Gong Mei whom I met the previous day.
Another acquaintance.
Jiang Wan turned around and looked around. It was a very familiar scene, as if he had just started a new game.
Gong Mei excitedly stepped forward and told the two of them that her lover was missing, as if she was grabbing the last straw. Her face was mixed with joy and sadness, and she asked Jiang Wan for help.
"Ah, have you seen Xiao Jingyuan from Xuanyun Valley?"
How to say it?
Can I say that I happened to witness your partner's major infidelity last night?
Ah, how should I put it...
