Hearing Jiang Shangzhou and the others exclaim, Du Heng hadn't realized what was happening. When he came to his senses and looked at Su Zhan, Su Zhan's body was collapsing.
Su Zhan's body stopped breathing and heartbeating in an instant, and his spiritual energy flowed towards Tai Shuhong and Xiaoxiao like a tide. Ye Wenqiu frowned slightly, and when he looked at Su Zhan's spiritual energy carefully, he breathed a sigh of relief.
At that moment, he thought Su Zhan attacked Tai Shuhong, but now it seems that Su Zhan did not want to kill Tai Shuhong and his friends. On the contrary, he transferred all his thousands of years of cultivation to him, and even the bird around Tai Shuhong benefited from it.
The two chicks, suddenly attacked by the powerful spiritual energy, fell to the ground with a chirp. But before they could fall to the ground, the entangled golden spiritual light lifted them up into the air. The spiritual light around them increased greatly, and they looked like two big light bulbs.
Du Heng's heart was in his throat: "Xiaoxiao! Taishuhong!" He ran over hurriedly and wanted to get closer to the two of them, but before he could get close, Wonton suddenly jumped in front of him and blocked Du Heng's way.
Du Heng was shocked: "Wonton?!" When did the wonton come out of the cage?
Wonton bit Du Heng's trouser leg to prevent him from moving forward. Du Heng had an inexplicable trust in Wonton. He stopped and looked up anxiously, fearing that something might happen to the two children.
On the other side, Jiang Shangzhou hugged Su Zhan's body. He opened his mouth and called out Su Zhan's name hoarsely and desperately: "Su Zhan! Second Brother!"
Ye Wenqiu frowned as soon as he probed with his spiritual sense. All of Su Zhan's meridians were broken, his purple palace and dantian were cracked, his Nascent Soul was covered with scars and was dying, and it seemed that his soul was about to be torn apart.
Ning Pingxi burst into tears. He took out the pill and stuffed it into Su Zhan's mouth. Even though he knew it was futile, he still wanted to save his friend's life: "Old Su, why are you doing this? Why are you doing this!"
Su Zhan's soul floated out of the purple palace, and the expression on his face was the most relaxed Du Heng had ever seen. Su Zhan's hand covered the back of Ning Pingxi's hand: "Old Ning, stop struggling. Keep your precious elixir to save more people in the future. I'm sorry, I've caused you trouble."
Ning Pingxi sighed, and in his excitement he kept saying, "Why bother, why bother!" This was too sudden, and he didn't react at all! He choked up and said, "You're not a child anymore, why can't you figure it out?!"
Su Zhan smiled and said, "I am a stubborn person. Haven't you always said that to me? Now that I have really figured it out, please stop scolding me."
Ning Pingxi had lived for so many years, how could he not know Su Zhan's thoughts. His friend valued face and loyalty the most. Jingzhi would rather die than go to the puppet he arranged. He finally understood and figured it out.
All these years of plotting had killed people, and he had no face to live any longer. Perhaps death was a relief for him? Besides, he was not alone on the road to the underworld.
Su Zhan said calmly: "Xiao Zhou, Wen Qiu, I'm sorry, I brought shame to you and Shenxu Palace. Someone like me is not qualified to return to Shenxu Palace, so just leave me here. I failed to be a good junior brother in this life. If I am lucky enough to have another life, I will compensate you, okay?"
Jiang Shangzhou couldn't stop crying: "Su Zhan, why are you so stupid? Why can't you just talk it out? You, you're just going to abandon Shenxu Palace like that? Are you just going to abandon your fellow disciples like that?!"
Su Zhan comforted Jiang Shangzhou, "Don't cry. For me, this is a relief."
Ye Wenqiu, who had been silent the whole time, spoke up at this moment: "You are indeed free, but the mistakes you made cannot be wiped out. It is not a wise move to self-destruct your soul. If you do this, you will have no afterlife."
Jiang Shangzhou looked at Ye Wenqiu in astonishment: "Ye Wenqiu! It's already this time, can't you say something nice?!" Su Zhan was shocked: "Junior brother..."
Ye Wenqiu said calmly: "He wants to hear good things, but where can those who died in his hands hear good things? Now I find it hard to accept. When I did evil things, didn't I think this day would come? Su Zhan, you and I are from the same school. How much I admired you, how much I despise you now."
The cracks in Su Zhan's soul grew bigger and bigger. He was so transparent that a gust of wind could blow him away. "Wen Qiu, I know what you think. You deserve to spit on me."
Ye Wenqiu looked directly into Su Zhan's eyes and said, "I will tell Qingyan everything you and Jiang Shangzhou did. I know that I am too emotional to be a good leader. Fortunately, Qingyan practices the ruthless way. Even if I make a mistake, he will not show mercy."
Jiang Shangzhou felt his hair stand on end. He looked at Ye Wenqiu in disbelief: "Ye Wenqiu, are you crazy? Ji Qingyan can't tolerate even a grain of sand in his eyes. If you tell him what we did, it's like telling the world! We each have our own actions and we have to take our own responsibilities, but don't you care about the reputation of Shenxu Palace?"
Ye Wenqiu did not back down. His voice was extremely calm. "When the four of us became the elders of Shenxu Palace, what did we swear to our master? We said that we would defend Shenxu Palace with our flesh and blood. From that day on, our words and deeds represented Shenxu Palace. Now you are talking to me about face issues. Don't you think it's ridiculous?"
Ye Wenqiu said sharply: "The reputation of Shenxu Palace was earned by countless sword cultivators with blood, flesh and sweat over the past tens of millions of years. It should not be a fig leaf for you to cover up your mistakes. If the reputation of Shenxu Palace was so easily trampled on, you should have been careful about your words and actions. Now that you think of this, don't you think it's ridiculous? Aren't you the ones who trampled on the dignity and face of Shenxu Palace?"
Su Zhan said ashamedly: "Third Junior Brother, I was wrong." Jiang Shangzhou's face flushed: "I admit that I was wrong..."
Ye Wenqiu nodded: "You are indeed wrong, and now you have no chance to make amends. You ordered your subordinates to kill your fellow disciples, and took their bodies for your own selfish desires, and you blew yourself up out of fear of the crime. Su Zhan, I look down on you. Do you think that everything will be over after you die? I tell you, you will not have an afterlife, and there is no way you can fulfill what you promised Jingzhi. Forget about being a pair of the most loving little birds, you may not even be able to be a bug."
Jiang Shangzhou's eyes were bloodshot and he yelled at Ye Wenqiu: "Ye Wenqiu! What kind of heart do you have?! He is our senior brother! He is going to die! Do you have to make it clear?!"
Ye Wenqiu was unmoved. He said regretfully, "Su Zhan, you are not worthy of going on the same journey with Jingzhi. Jingzhi was originally pure all his life, but because of you, he also accepted his fate. You are sorry for him, and you are even more sorry for those who were killed by you. The demon cultivator Tai Shuhong, the Qingheng Saint, the sword boy Jianwei, the chef Chang Le, the punishment hall Wang Qingzhou... Have you ever said sorry to them?"
Jiang Shangzhou finally couldn't bear the grief and anger anymore, he drew his sword and pointed it directly at Ye Wenqiu: "Say one more word! Our friendship as brothers will end here!" Strong spiritual energy gushed out from Jiang Shangzhou, shocking Du Heng so much that he retreated dozens of steps.
Ning Pingxi and Su Zhan tried to persuade them to make peace, especially Su Zhan, who only realized that his self-destruction of his soul was not a good thing. He closed his eyes and let it go, but left endless troubles for Xiao Zhou and Lao Su who helped him.
But at this time he was powerless to stop his fellow disciples from fighting. Su Zhan said sadly: "Xiao Zhou, put down your sword! Wen Qiu is right, I was indeed wrong. However, the big mistake has been made. I am a coward and I know that I will die after you know the truth. I didn't have the courage to go back to the sect to confess my crime, and in the end I cunningly blew myself up..."
Su Zhan was in despair, and he looked deeply at the dark sky above his head. The soul usually does not shed tears, but Su Zhan's soul shed tears: "I am indeed unworthy of dying with Jingzhi, I have polluted his reincarnation path. But, even if there is a glimmer of hope, I want to fight for it. Jingzhi... wait for me..."
After saying this, a white spiritual light burst out violently. Du Heng felt a huge force coming from behind him, and his head suddenly became dizzy and he lost consciousness. Before he lost consciousness, he felt that he had crushed Wonton.
The power of a cultivator's self-destruction of their body and soul can be large or small. Some cultivators don't want to be humiliated, so when they self-destruct their body and soul, the power they explode is several times that of a normal full-strength attack. If a cultivator like Su Zhan wanted to self-destruct, the palace and the surrounding area of more than 50 miles would be reduced to ruins.
However, Su Zhan chose to transfer all his spiritual energy to Tai Shuhong. He could have let everyone here perish with him, but he chose death. Was it fear of sin? Was it to atone for sin? Was it because he felt that life was hopeless? Or was it because life was worse than death?
Only Su Zhan himself knows.
Du Heng heard the sound of soft wind, and when he opened his eyes, he found himself on a gentle hillside covered with wild flowers. In front of the hillside was a lake with ripples on the surface, and flocks of birds flew by, leaving behind pleasant chirping sounds.
The beautiful scenery of the lake and mountains made Du Heng want to lie down and sleep for a while. His heart was very peaceful. Just when he was about to lie down, he heard a soft voice in his ear: "Su Zhan, Su Zhan, wake up. Look, this is the egg I picked up."
Du Heng sat up suddenly, and at this moment he found that his body was involuntarily flying up and floating in the air. On the hillside where he had just been lying, Jingzhi was holding a platinum-colored egg and showing it to Su Zhan. Su Zhan was sitting cross-legged on the hillside, and Du Heng had just flown up from where Su Zhan was.
Jingzhi was not a spirit like what he had seen just now. He was a living person, breathing and having a heartbeat. Du Heng could still feel the spiritual energy flowing around him. For some reason, seeing the living Jingzhi, Du Heng's eyes were sore. What a good person he was, peaceful, beautiful and kind. All the beautiful words in the world could not describe him one ten-thousandth of him.
Su Zhan beside him was handsome, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and his posture was as straight as a pine tree. His black hair was neatly tied on top of his head. Such Su Zhan was very oppressive and majestic, but his expression was very gentle, just like the expression when Du Heng first picked him up on the corridor.
Du Heng scratched his cheek in confusion. Where was this? Su Zhan looked so decent. Could he have been drawn into some strange illusion again?
Jingzhi lay on the ground holding the egg in his hands. He said slowly, "What do you think I should name him? Children of the Feather Tribe all like cute nicknames. Su Zhan, can you help me think of one?"
Su Zhan reached out and touched the eggshell: "You choose it, any name you choose is nice." Jing Zhi smiled: "Then let's call it Little Feather."
Su Zhan smiled: "What a good name. He will become a great demon cultivator in the future, just like you. By the way, Jingzhi..." Jingzhi looked at Su Zhan in surprise: "Hey? You didn't call me by my name before. Also, you look very different from usual. Are you feeling unwell?"
Su Zhan said with a smile: "Your handwriting is very nice. I want to keep calling you that in the future, okay?" Jing Zhi smiled and said: "Okay!"
The breeze blew across Su Zhan's face, and he let out a long sigh of relief: "Jingzhi, I just had a terrible dream. I dreamed that you were blown up by the refining furnace while refining a magical weapon for me that could withstand the heavenly calamity. I wanted to revive you like crazy, and then I did a lot of wrong things."
346
Jingzhi reached out and touched Su Zhan's forehead: "Are you okay? Have you been stuck at the bottleneck for too long recently? Do you want to go to Ning Guzhu to get some medicine?"
Su Zhan stretched out his hands, held Jingzhi's hands and placed them on his legs. He smiled, but his tone was extremely serious: "Jingzhi, I want to tell you something."
Jingzhi tilted her head slightly and looked at Su Zhan seriously: "Well, you say." The sunlight shone softly into Jingzhi's pupils, and the young man in front of her was so soft that he seemed to be glowing.
Su Zhan held Jingzhi's hand and said, "I like you. Let's be together. I will protect you and love you from now on. No matter where you go or what you want to do, I will accompany you. Are you willing?"
Jingzhi's pupils contracted violently, and he opened his eyes wide in surprise: "Su Zhan, are you serious?! Are you lying to me?" Su Zhan stretched out his hands and hugged the young man who was surprised and incredulous, "I'm not lying to you, we will be together forever and never separate. We will raise little Feather, and he will be our offspring in the future."
Du Heng couldn't help but feel his eyes warm as he watched this scene. It was so beautiful. He felt an indescribable regret in his heart. When he saw the two people kissing, his tears rolled down.
Why on earth? It was such a beautiful scene, why did he feel so sad that he wanted to cry?
At this time, Du Heng heard a dog barking. As the dog barked, the hillside full of small flowers and the two young men hugging each other on the hillside gradually faded away like colorful bubbles. Du Heng saw thousands of colorful bubbles with the same picture. He suddenly came to his senses. No, it was not the bubbles that were fading away, but his consciousness was being quickly withdrawn!
At the end of the scene, Du Heng saw Su Zhan and Tai Shuhong in the bubble holding hands and chatting and laughing. They were so happy...
The strong feeling of weightlessness made Du Heng's body tremble violently, and he opened his eyes tiredly. For some reason, he felt that his body was so heavy, as if he had practiced in the bamboo forest for a whole day, and his whole body was so sore that he couldn't stand up.
As soon as he opened his eyes, Wonton's enlarged face appeared in Du Heng's eyes. Seeing Du Heng wake up, Wonton wagged his tail and lay down beside Du Heng. Du Heng raised his hand and touched Wonton's big head: "Good boy..."
Du Heng sat up from the ground, sniffing. He looked around while sniffing. What caught his eyes was the abandoned palace and the broken formation. Su Zhan's old body was lying quietly on the ground. Su Zhan's face was so peaceful after death, he looked like he was asleep.
Jiang Shangzhou and the others sat cross-legged beside Su Zhan and meditated. As Du Heng woke up, they also opened their eyes.
Jiang Shangzhou's eyes were bloodshot. He could not help but question Ye Wenqiu angrily: "Ye Wenqiu, why did you say such cruel words to him? You didn't even want to give him the last peace? We are from the same sect, how can you be so cruel? Do you think you are superior because you are the sect's supreme elder? Have you forgotten how good Su Zhan was to you over the years?!"
Sadness appeared in Ye Wenqiu's eyes, and he said solemnly: "It's not that I'm high and mighty, but I feel that if I also sympathize with him and feel sorry for him, and think that the relationship between him and Jingzhi is moving, those who died tragically will not be able to rest in peace. Wrong is wrong, and you can't be treated preferentially just because he is my senior brother and you are my junior brother. If everyone in the world talks about feelings and loyalty, who can say a fair word for those who died?"
Ye Wenqiu said: "Or do you think that the lives of the servants, Xiao Cai, are worthless? In your eyes, they are not worth mentioning? People who practice Taoism stick to their own ways. It's OK if I don't know, but now that I know, I should say something fair."
Jiang Shangzhou said sadly: "He blew up his soul and there is no afterlife. How can you be so cruel?"
Ye Wenqiu clenched his fists tightly. "Letting him self-destruct and leaving him here is the last dignity I leave for him. Do you want him to return to the sect alive and accept the judgment of the Ten Laws of the Five Great Peaks? At that time, he will really be unable to live or die."
Hearing this, Jiang Shangzhou choked up and said, "Killing people is not the right path. How can you destroy all his hopes and let him die like this?"
Ye Wenqiu said calmly: "The one who lost all hope was not me, but himself." Once dead, he is really dead, and everything is gone.
Du Heng climbed up with a heavy head and held the two children in his arms. He felt as if his head had been punched ten times by Wen Qiong, and when he held Xiaoxiao, his hands were slightly numb, causing Xiaoxiao to fall to the ground.
Perhaps it was because the spiritual energy Su Zhan had passed on to them was too strong, and the two of them were now sleeping. Especially Xiaoxiao, who was still snoring comfortably. The fall just now did not cause any substantial harm to Xiaoxiao.
After holding the two children in his arms for a long time, Du Heng finally came to his senses.
At the moment, he looked very funny. Xiaoxiao and Taishuhong were both big. Usually, Du Heng would have to hold Xiaoxiao with both hands. Now there were two of them, so Du Heng's posture was more like holding them. He was like a hen trying to protect the two furry demon cultivators with his thin arms.
As soon as Du Heng moved, Ye Wenqiu and the others' eyes fell on him. Du Heng subconsciously held the two children under his armpits and said, "Let's talk it over nicely. Don't hurt the relationship."
It's okay, don't hit him, he is innocent, he knows nothing.
Ye Wenqiu said: "That was Su Zhan's obsession."
Du Heng quickly realized that Ye Wenqiu was talking about the scene he had just seen. Hearing this, the sour feeling that Du Heng had just suppressed surged up again: "I see..."
No wonder he felt so heavy-hearted. It turned out that he was entangled by the obsession of the Nascent Soul cultivator. Su Zhan's emotions infected him. No wonder he felt regretful and uncomfortable. Those scenes must be the scenes that Su Zhan thought about day and night in his mind. Du Heng sighed when he thought about them. How great would it be if these two people could hold hands? They would not have so many regrets.
Jiang Shangzhou said sadly: "I know that hillside, it's Taishuhong's hill. Taishuhong's hill has the most beautiful scenery of Shenxu Palace. Before the hill was destroyed, they often talked there. It was there that Su Zhan knew Jingzhi's feelings for him. I think the thing he regretted most was rejecting Jingzhi at that time. After Jingzhi died, his hair turned white overnight. This was a dream he made up for himself, but his dream could never come true."
Such a beautiful dream, no wonder Su Zhan is addicted to it. Tai Shuhong asked Su Zhan before whether he loved Jingzhi or just wanted her after things became out of control. Now he should have the answer. Su Zhan really loved Jingzhi, loved her madly, loved her to the point of using any means and regardless of everything.
But the source of all this is because of himself. If he could realize his feelings earlier, if he could spend more time with Jingzhi, things would not have turned out like this today.
Looking at Su Zhan lying on the ground without a sound, Du Heng didn't know what to say. Looking at Jiang Shangzhou with red eyes from crying, Du Heng could only sigh with regret: "My condolences."
Jiang Shangzhou blew his nose, his voice hoarse: "It's better to die, at least I don't have to face what's coming next. Peace."
Ye Wenqiu said slowly: "Just like he said, he is free."
As an elder of the Punishment Hall, Su Zhan knew the law and broke it, which was an even greater crime. He killed his fellow disciples and framed the cultivators of other sects. Even if he had the nerve to live, he would be abolished and expelled from the Shenxu Palace. Before being expelled from the Shenxu Palace, he would be punished, which was enough to leave scars on his soul and body that could never be erased.
So Su Zhan would rather die than face these things.
Jingzhi's choice surprised Du Heng. He was puzzled: "Tai Shuhong... I mean Jingzhi, his soul seems to be able to enter the puppet. Why doesn't he want to?"
If Jingzhi was willing to enter the puppet body, Su Zhan probably wouldn't die. Even ants try to survive, and Du Heng didn't expect that such a gentle Tai Shuhong would be so decisive in choosing to die.
Jiang Shangzhou said in a hoarse voice: "Do you know why Su Zhan chose Tai Shuhong's body for Jingzhi to possess? Jingzhi looks gentle, but he is an extremely proud demon cultivator. Su Zhan was worried that he would not be able to accept being possessed by a puppet, so he wanted to find him a body that best suits him."
In the end, Su Zhan chose the body of Tai Shuhong, whom Jingzhi loved sincerely. Jingzhi couldn't stand it. But he was so kind, even if it was the body of someone he didn't know, Jingzhi couldn't stand it, right?
Compared to Jingzhi, Du Heng subconsciously looked at his body. He remembered one thing, his body... a real puppet body, made by Jiang Shangzhou and Yan Hui using their own flesh and blood.
Du Heng felt that something was wrong with him. He looked at Jiang Shangzhou with a complicated expression. If we talk about biology, wouldn't he have to call Jiang Shangzhou "Dad"? Would he also have to call Yan Hui "Dad" when he saw him in the future?
Du Heng felt a headache and he didn't want to study this complicated problem.
Ye Wenqiu stood up and looked at the surrounding mountains and forests: "I never knew that Lingbao Garden was actually one of the small caves in the Wanzong ruins. Su Zhan never mentioned it before."
Jiang Shangzhou's eyes were red. "Su Zhan himself didn't know there was such a large Wanzong ruins behind Lingbao Garden. But it doesn't matter. If he is still alive, he will have plenty of time to explore the ruins. But the Wanzong ruins are unstable. If they are left here, they won't be able to come to pay their respects in the future."
Ye Wenqiu said slowly: "Chang Le's body is still in Shenxu Palace, and no one is here to pay condolences." Ye Wenqiu's meaning was very clear. If his second senior brother died for the sect, he would bring his body back even if he was torn to pieces. But now Su Zhan was a sinner, and it was good enough that he could be buried here without anyone bothering him.
Jiang Shangzhou said nothing when he heard this. Upon closer inspection, he was also an accomplice, and he still had no idea how Ji Qing's banquet would unfold.
Ning Pingxi said solemnly: "Let's bury him here. He knows he has no face to return to Shenxu Palace. This place is close to Shenxu Palace. If he knows about this in the afterlife, he can go back often to visit." Ning Pingxi knew he was in the wrong. He was also one of the accomplices. He didn't know if he could have an intact body like Su Zhan after the news got out.
Then Jiang Shangzhou and his men found a hilltop to bury Su Zhan. Only his name was engraved on Su Zhan's tombstone. His sword was placed horizontally in front of the tombstone. Su Zhan, who had been so glorious in his life, actually left in such a miserable way.
347
Ye Wenqiu and the others stood in front of the grave and bowed three times to the tombstone, while Du Heng and the others watched from afar with Xiaoxiao in their arms.
This farce ended in this way. As one of the parties involved in the incident, Du Heng felt very dazed. At this time, Xiaoxiao under his left arm moved: "Chirp..."
Du Heng was delighted. He quickly squatted down and put Xiaoxiao on the ground: "Xiaoxiao, are you awake?" Xiaoxiao shook his head and sat on the ground dizzy. There was a little confusion in his eyes. He didn't know what was wrong with him. He always felt a little dizzy.
Du Heng carefully checked Xiaoxiao's body: "Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"
Xiaoxiao shook his head and looked at Tai Shuhong who was held under Du Heng's right arm: "Chirp, chirp..." As Xiaoxiao's call came, Tai Shuhong also woke up.
Du Heng felt his arm suddenly empty, and Tai Shuhong slipped out from under his arm. He became the cold Tai Shuhong again. Like Xiaoxiao, Tai Shuhong's face was full of confusion. He looked around: "Where are Su Zhan and the others?"
Du Heng carefully looked at Tai Shuhong's expression and said, "Little Feather, listen to me. Su Zhan passed on his cultivation to you and Xiaoxiao and then blew himself up. How do you feel now?"
Tai Shuhong lowered his head, his expression complicated: "Did he self-explode..." He just felt that the spiritual energy in his body was much more abundant than before. It turned out that Su Zhan passed the spiritual energy to him?
But why? He clearly wanted his body so badly, why did he do such unnecessary things? Was he atonement for his previous actions?
After a long while, Tai Shuhong spoke again: "Oh." Call him cruel or heartless, Tai Shuhong had not let go of the hatred in his heart when he heard the news of Su Zhan's self-explosion.
He could have grown up happily and lively, but Su Zhan turned him into a cold and arrogant person. After living for so many years, he realized that he was the container of Su Zhan's lover. How good Su Zhan was to Tai Shuhong in the past, how ironic it was when he thought about it now.
Xiaoxiao comforted Tai Shuhong: "Chirp." Don't be sad, he will treat Tai Shuhong well in the future. With him by his side, Tai Shuhong will have friends and family. Hearing Xiaoxiao's comfort, Tai Shuhong bent down and hugged Xiaoxiao: "Yeah."
Listening to Tai Shuhong and Xiaoxiao's whispered conversation, Du Heng sighed heavily. He hugged Wonton and said slowly: "Wonton, what do you think I should do in the future?"
He is using a puppet body. Will he be able to live with Xiaoyu and the others in the future? Will there be any side effects? Ah, I feel panic when I think about it.
After a while, Ye Wenqiu and the other three came back. After dealing with Su Zhan's affairs, they had to consider their current situation.
However, their situation was not good. The first thing Ye Daxianer said was: "The Wanzong ruins have collapsed, and all the small caves in the ruins will be affected. We have to find a way to get out of this small cave and reunite with everyone, but... the trouble is, I can't find the way I came here."
Du Heng looked at Ye Wenqiu in confusion. What did he mean by "can't find the way back here?" Is this little cave really that big?
Du Heng asked: "When you came here, were there any landmarks around?"
Ye Wenqiu said seriously: "Yes, there are many trees."
Jiang Shangzhou sighed and said sadly: "Don't ask him about this kind of thing. The whole Shenxu Palace knows about it. If Old Ye and his apprentice are locked together, they will have no chance to do anything except practice."
Ning Pingxi hesitated and said, "I do remember the way in. It's at a lake in the middle of the mountains ahead."
Jiang Shangzhou shook his head: "It's useless. The passage you mentioned leads to the God-made Peak. You and Su Zhan came to the ruins as soon as the Wanzong Ruins were activated. You didn't know that after you entered the formation, the passage could only be entered but not exited. I didn't want to come in, but thinking of the agreement with Su Zhan, I had to bite the bullet and come. But as soon as I entered the formation, the road disappeared."
Ye Wenqiu looked at Jiang Shangzhou and said, "You are the only one among us brothers who understands the formation better. Whether we can get out depends on you."
Jiang Shangzhou scratched his hair irritably: "Brother, I am so restless and upset now, I can't calm down at all!"
Ye Wenqiu raised his sword and asked Jiang Shangzhou seriously, "Do you... want to take a nap and calm down?"
It seemed that as long as Jiang Shangzhou nodded, Ye Wenqiu would knock him out with the hilt of the sword. Jiang Shangzhou stared at Ye Wenqiu with red eyes: "Even if you knock me out, I can't stay calm, okay? I practice a different sword art from you, I can't watch my brother die in front of me and remain indifferent!"
Ye Wenqiu silently put down his sword: "I understand." Jiang Shangzhou was basically raised by Su Zhan. His friendship with Su Zhan is much deeper than his friendship with the other two senior brothers. In this situation, it is indeed not appropriate to force him.
Tai Shuhong looked a little tired. He hadn't said a word since he learned about Su Zhan's self-destruction. Although he looked like a cold and lonely immortal, he was still a furry cub in essence. Such a big thing had happened, and he needed time to digest it.
Ye Wenqiu looked at Ning Pingxi: "Valley Master, I wonder how you fight..."
Ning Pingxi shook his head regretfully: "I'm sorry, if you're talking about healing a wound, I'm good at that. But the formations... I only know a few formations specifically for healing."
Ye Wenqiu glanced at Du Heng and then moved away. Du Heng felt offended. Although he didn't know how to use formations, he couldn't ignore him so blatantly, right? !
Jiang Shangzhou sat down on the steps and said dejectedly, "It doesn't matter if I can't go out. At most, I can stay here with Second Senior Brother."
Xiaoxiao exploded: "Chirp chirp!" Who wants to die with that old man Su Zhan? He is still a kid with infinite possibilities, how can he wait here to die? !
At this moment, the formation in front of the square suddenly shone with light. Everyone was so shocked that they stepped back a few steps and stood on the steps of the palace: "What's going on?!"
Ye Wenqiu was shocked: "Didn't I destroy this formation?" What Ye Wenqiu said was right. The previous Eight Directions Formation was indeed destroyed. At least the traces left by his destruction were still engraved on the edge.
However, the formation in the field did not light up completely, it only lit up a few lines in the middle. Jiang Shangzhou stood up when he saw the lines: "This is... a teleportation formation! How is this possible?!"
A spiritual light shone in the formation, and suddenly a voice was heard from the spiritual light: "Ah, it's so crowded, Xiaoyu, you are so heavy." "It's not me, it's Xixi who stepped on you."
Hearing this voice, Xiaoxiao and Du Heng were immediately delighted, and even Wonton wagged his tail desperately towards the center of the formation.
After the formation was dispersed, three familiar people were seen standing in the middle of the formation. Du Heng yelled and rushed over: "Xiaoyu!! Nannan!! Xixi!!"
What is this called?! This is called escaping from a desperate situation!
The three of them looked at Du Heng with curved eyebrows. Xuan Yu stepped forward and hugged Du Heng. Jing Nan and Feng Gui hugged Du Heng on the left and right: "Finally found you, are you okay?"
Du Heng's nose felt sore: "Yeah, okay!" In fact, it was not good at all. He was completely dumbfounded when he heard what Su Zhan and the others had done. Until now, he still felt mixed emotions and didn't know how to start the conversation.
Xiaoxiao flew to Fenggui's back: "Chirp~" Fenggui let go of Du Heng and turned around to hug Xiaoxiao. He stroked Xiaoxiao's head twice: "Are you okay?" Xiaoxiao's nose felt sore, and he wiped his tears on Fenggui's clothes: "Chirp!"
Seeing Feng Gui and the other two, Ning Pingxi's face turned pale again. But it was dark now, so not many people noticed him.
Jiang Shangzhou asked in surprise: "How did you find this place?"
Jing Nan said unhappily: “What are you talking about? Your family lost more than 100 kilograms of meat, and you don’t want to look for it?”
Du Heng's feeling of being touched suddenly turned into helplessness: ...I'm offended again. Is he just a hundred pounds of flesh in the eyes of Nan Nan and the others? !
Feng Gui added: "Oh, don't worry, we're not talking about you. We're talking about Xiao Xiao."
Xiaoxiao: ...Is he that heavy?! I'm so angry, my uncle did it on purpose!
Du Heng didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Thank you."
Author has something to say: Lao Mao: Someone asked Xiaoxiao's tonnage? Let Xiaoxiao tell everyone how much he weighs.
