Chapter 55: Painted Wall (XIX)



Scorched Peony, according to legend, the empress visited Shangyuan in winter and ordered all flowers to bloom, but the peony did not obey. The empress was furious and ordered the flowers to be burned and then abandoned in the ravines of Mangshan in Luoyang. The scorched peonies were nourished by the water and soil of Mangshan in Luoyang and reborn. This is the scorched peony.

Baizhi changed her fate and was reborn in this difficult situation. Hopefully, like the scorched-bone peony, she will bloom again one day.

Bai Zhi's problem was solved, and the next thing was the players' business. When talking about leaving the dungeon, Bai Tan suddenly fell silent for a few seconds.

"This illusion of Hanshan Temple was set up by the old monk in the underground palace. He hated lovers the most in his life. He once said that if one of the lovers was willing to die for the other, the door to the illusion could be opened. So I... I'd better think of another way. I can't ask you to use this method, right?"

Li Rushi frowned slightly. To die for a lover? This was indeed a bit too much to ask. She and Zong Li had just gotten married. If it was out of love, then of course there was some truth to it. But if it was to die for the other person, Li Rushi would have to think about it.

Zong Li didn't seem to have any objection: "Xuanzhi, how about we give it a try..." Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Li Rushi: "Try what? You can't just try it casually? Don't think about it, I will definitely not allow you to go."

Li Rushi was born in a famous family and was well-educated. She rarely interrupted others. But now, for some reason, she felt very uncomfortable when she heard Zong Li say this indifferently. How could this flower demon who loves to torment people say this calmly? Did he forget that he was now someone else's husband and should also fulfill his responsibilities as a husband? If he tried and something went wrong, wouldn't she become a widow? This was her first marriage, wouldn't it ruin her reputation?

The flower demon has a very bad conscience.

Zong Li watched his wife's face darken, her dark eyes drooped, her lips pursed, and she looked very reluctant. He knew that she was unwilling. As for why she was unwilling? It must be because she felt sorry for him. Zong Li smiled happily and received a glance from his wife.

Not only is she a bad-hearted flower demon, she is also not very good at reading people's expressions.

Bai Tan couldn't see and didn't know what they were doing. She was thinking of a solution, but she couldn't think of a good solution. In fact, it shouldn't be like this. No matter what, Li Cong saved her sister's life from danger. According to the agreement, she should find a way to get out of the illusion. But now... she is not as good as her sister after all, and she doesn't have that much ability to help them.

Zong Li and Li Rushi were discussing quietly, "I think this lake has a lot of mysteries. Why don't I dive down and take a look, and find a way to break the mirror?"

Li Rushi thought for a moment and said, "Then let's go together. We can have one more person to take care of us." Seeing that the flower demon was hesitant to speak, Li Rushi said calmly, "If I don't go, you can forget about going either. The worst that can happen is that you can spend ten or eight years here. Anyway, the body in the real world will not die. Have you thought it through?"

[Oh my god, my husband is such a great boyfriend! ! ! ! ]

[Upstairs, wake up a little, she is already someone else's wife!!!]

[I don’t care, I don’t care, wow wow wow Xuanzhi is my destined wife, eh, I feel like this couple has a woman A and a man O feeling for some reason!!]

[Upstairs, isn't this a shared brain? I think so too, it seems that Zong Li doesn't have a temper, and Xuan Zhi is the kind of person who is spoiled and pampered. ]

[I'm going to support this couple first, hehehe my wife is so beautiful, and my wife's husband is so handsome. ]

[Real couples are so cute, isn’t this just random? Let’s all start cute hehehehehehe!!!]

Zong Li is not a very soft-tempered person. People with a soft temper will be considered incompetent. Therefore, Zong Li never shows his weakness to others. Even though he is born weak, his eyes are still sharp, and he looks difficult to deal with. But I don’t know if it’s because Li Rushi met him when he was still a nobody, but Zong Li can always easily take off his armor in front of Li Rushi, always thinking about relying on him a little more. Is it because he subconsciously thinks Xuan Zhi is very powerful? Zong Li thinks not, it should be that a long time ago, Zong Li has already regarded Xuan Zhi as someone he can rely on.

It is an existence that can make flowers feel at ease.

Zong Li couldn't do anything about it. It was the nature of his people to obey their partners. Even if their partners' demands were excessive, they had to try their best to be obedient. There was no way, he could only agree to this decision with a little annoyance.

Before going into the water, Li Ru used the phrase "walk slowly" to draw a circle around Bai Tan. In order to save Bai Zhi, Bai Tan now had little ghost power left. There were many evil spirits in the lake, and drawing a circle was not only to prevent Bai Tan from running away, but also to protect her.

With a ding-dong sound, the red dress entered the water without splashing a single drop of water. Zong Li's slender body swam in the water like a beautiful fish.

Unfortunately, beautiful things are all very cruel. The scabbard of the sword has driven back countless ghosts that were eager to try, and Zong Li's flower branches have also driven away many strange fish that wanted to taste the living people.

The door to the illusion was indeed at the bottom of the lake. It was a black whirlpool. Li Rushi sensed something was wrong and was about to jump in by grabbing the whirlpool. Zong Li quickly stopped him. He didn't know what that thing was, so how could his wife be so brave? Fortunately, Zong Li's flower branches could be extended very long. He sent a small flower branch to explore, and the flower branch came back trembling and listless. It was said that there was a Buddha seal inside, and it couldn't be seen close. The Buddha seal was fierce, and if it was touched, it would definitely be skinned if not dead. The little flower demon didn't dare to do that.

It doesn't dare, but Li Rushi dares. Li Rushi is a rebellious person. She is usually the cold and reserved leader of Xuanmen. In fact, only the junior brothers and sisters who grew up with her know how crazy she was when she was young. But as she grew older, the burden of the leader fell on her. Decades of hard training were enough to turn a crazy girl into a powerful person who ruled a place. Only she knew the pain.

So when you encounter difficulties and dangers, calm analysis is secondary. If your strength allows, it is best to say those four words - fuck it!

Li Rushi was not afraid of Foyin. This thing, the Xuanmen in the world are all one family, who is afraid of whom? It's just a little more difficult to deal with. Anyway, she is not a ghost, so she is really not afraid of this. Feeling the master's restlessness, he also stopped restraining his sword. Li Rushi held the long sword high and chopped it down. The sealed illusion began to collapse instantly. Li Rushi knew that this was successful, so sometimes there are all kinds of things, just chop it directly.

While there was still some time before the illusion collapsed completely, Li Rushi pulled Zong Li ashore quickly. Zong Li went to notify other players to come to the lake quickly. Li Rushi looked at Bai Tan and asked, "What are you thinking? The illusion is about to collapse. Aren't you going to leave? Friendly reminder, no matter how tough the scorched bone peony is, it can't stay in the water for so long. The lake is about to flood. You'd better find a place to go quickly."

Bai Tan was rarely confused. She was protected too well by her sister, but now she didn't know where to go. Li Rushi looked at her and sighed. Forget it. Zong Li's efforts couldn't be wasted.

Zong Li just told her that the seeds of the Jiaogu Peony are precious, and this variety is also top-notch among the flower demons. However, when the little flower was born, it was judged to be stillborn. The family couldn't let it go, and they had to recruit someone to save the flower. Zong Li, who was also a flower demon, happened to pass by. He explained the situation to the demon and took the little girl in his arms. He said to give it a try, maybe one day she could survive. Now that the flower soul and the ghost are mixed together, it can be regarded as fulfilling his promise.

Thinking of this, Li Rushi took off the mustard seed bag hanging on his waist and said to Bai Tan: "If you trust me, come in here first. After we get out, I will ask the ghost messenger in the underworld to help me find a way to settle this pot of peony. And you have no murder on your hands, so you should not have to serve your sentence... Anyway, we will talk about it later. If you want to come in, come in as soon as possible. It will be too late if the lake water soaks your peony.

Bai Tan stopped hesitating after hearing this, and turned into a streak of light and entered Li Rushi's mustard seed bag. In the distance, Zong Li and other players had also arrived. Among them, Xie Jingshan couldn't swim and seemed to be a little afraid of water, but seeing the lake rising, who would care whether you can swim or not? Zong Li saw the chaos and kicked the man down. Of course, he used flower branches to wrap him up so that he wouldn't really drown. If he died, what if his soul went to Xuan Zhi to complain? Wouldn't this alienate their relationship?

The effect of gathering people's hearts in a panic is good. Except for the eldest young master who was slow and did not dare to go into the water, everyone else jumped in at the fastest speed. Li Ru was unimpeded in the water. Seeing that everyone was gathered, she immediately used her palm as a knife and used her spiritual power to attack the entrance of the illusion again. The sword energy of the slow mover was too sharp and tricky. In order to ensure the safety of the other players, she should use her own spiritual power.

The moment the spiritual power was brought out, Li Rushi's red dress moved slightly, and her long hair spread out in the water like wisps of mist, exuding the fragrance of a woman.

Xie Jingshan's Adam's apple moved slightly, and Zong Li's eyes darkened. A moment later, a golden light flashed at the exit of the illusion, and a hole appeared in the vortex, sweeping their bodies and sending them out.

Outside the illusion was still a thousand miles of yellow sand Gobi Desert. The whirlpool was very inhumane. It treated beauties and rough men in the same manner, just throwing them down directly. Li Rushi and Zong Li were well prepared. They turned their waists downward to relieve the force and landed steadily on the ground.

Five seconds later, the mechanical sound of the game system sounded again.

[Congratulations to everyone who has successfully passed the "Painted Wall" instance. Player gifts and points are being settled. You can check it in the background. The system will automatically transfer you back to the game lobby in five seconds. Please be prepared. ]

Five, four, three. Two, one.
