Chapter 139 Bai Ze, you can do it as many times as you want
Zhu Yuan said at the beginning that this illusion array was based on his remaining body, so Xu Xingxing also made some mental preparations.
But now, standing in this uncovered and all-encompassing illusion, she realized that her so-called psychological preparation was just a useless joke.
The ground beneath your feet, the sky above your head, wherever you look, everywhere you look, is covered with densely packed, eerie white bones.
There were whole leg bones, cracked ribs, broken arm bones, and scattered skulls.
Each is different, yet they are similar in every way. Different in shape, the same in breath.
Densely packed, with no space between, countless, endless.
It's all him, it all comes from him.
Xu Xingxing's chest was heaving violently, and her throat felt like it had swallowed a hard stone, unable to move up or down, and her tears were flowing like beads from a broken string.
There really are people who are so cruel and inhumane that they would do such a brutal thing to a teenager who is only fifteen or sixteen years old.
And such a young boy who was as blank as a piece of paper was pushed into the abyss as soon as he entered the world. How could he be good? How could he know what good is?
Suddenly, she felt a chill on her ankle. She looked down and saw a bony claw gripping her ankle. It seemed to want to exert force, but then trembled and loosened slightly.
She was just about to bend down to touch the bone claw when the surrounding illusion array suddenly surged like waves.
It must be that Wei Yuan had been absorbed. Her heart tightened, she wiped her tears and ran to the center of the formation.
This illusion array is extremely large. Every few meters, a vine grows out from the broken bones. The vine extends into the air, and each vine is topped with a huge flower bud, which is the body of the illusion.
The four walls of the magic array were covered with flower buds of various sizes, densely packed together, in the thousands and thousands.
Although her movement was not steady in this shaking illusion, her speed was not slow. In less than half an incense stick of time, she arrived at Bai Ze's place.
In front of him was a huge lotus, and in the middle of the lotus lay a spirit beast as tall as a one or two-story building.
It has a lion's body and a goat's beard, dull horns and dry and yellow hair. It lies on the ground, breathing heavily, as if extremely tired.
The turmoil around it became more and more intense, but it still failed to wake it from its slumber. Xu Xingxing cast a barrier and flew in front of it, raising his hand to touch its head.
Spiritual energy was continuously sent to its body, and after a while, it slowly opened its eyes.
The huge eyes were quite cloudy, and the pupils took several efforts to focus on her. After staring at her for a moment, clouds and mist suddenly appeared around her. The clouds and mist spread in all directions and completely covered Bai Ze. After they dissipated, there was no trace of the spirit beast Bai Ze here. Only a man with white hair and golden eyes was left, kneeling on the ground, looking at her.
Before she could speak, Bai Ze bowed and said, "Thank you for saving my life, young lady."
Perhaps because he looked too confident, Xu Xingxing asked in slight surprise, "How do you know?"
Bai Ze smiled, his pale face very gentle, and replied slowly: "Shi Chen, you are about to lose."
As soon as he finished speaking, the bones outside the lotus quickly piled up and condensed into a big hand, which slammed down on the lotus. After hitting the barrier, the huge bony hand shattered with a loud noise. In an instant, dust and smoke rose and broken bones scattered.
The barrier was intact, but Shi Chen still did not give up. The broken bones around him gathered together and attacked again, stirring up the bottom of the lake as if it was about to turn upside down.
Suddenly, the millions of broken bones suddenly stopped, and soon began to slowly dissipate. The flower buds also slowly opened, and a sleeping soul floated above them.
"Fu'er!" Bai Ze called out suddenly, stood up and flew out of the barrier and rushed towards a place. Seeing this, Xu Xingxing hurriedly followed.
He stopped in front of a young man, raised his hand and stroked the young man's head with a sad look on his face: "Why... is he here?"
Xu Xingxing roughly guessed that the talisman should be the old man waiting on the shore, so he recounted what had happened before.
Bai Ze's silver crow feathers trembled slightly, and tears fell, but he only said: "Blame me... Blame me..."
He didn't say what was strange, and Xu Xingxing, who was standing aside, looked at the two people who were already separated by life and death, and felt a sense of regret in his heart.
Suddenly, the broken bones that had not yet dissipated around it condensed into a sharp spike and shot straight towards Bai Ze. Xu Xingxing chopped off the broken bones with his quick eyes and hands.
The sharp spikes shot out one by one, and Xu Xingxing blocked them all swiftly. After a while, the broken bones finally stopped moving, scattered on the ground, and slowly turned into wisps of white smoke.
The white smoke didn't dissipate, but instead gathered into the sky like a spring. Springs gathered into streams, streams formed small rivers, and rivers rushed into rivers. In the sky, there were hundreds of such surging rivers, all mightily surging to a single point in the sky.
There was a person standing there, and even though his outline could not be seen clearly, Xu Xingxing knew who that person was.
The last wisp of white smoke merged into Hou Yuan's body, his black clothes fluttered, and the golden bell on his neck swayed slightly. He opened his eyes, and there seemed to be a red light in his eyes, which flashed and quickly disappeared.
He looked over, and when Xu Xingxing thought he would come down, he raised his hand slightly and led her over.
She flew away very quickly, but she could still see his eyes looking at her, dark and lifeless, with no ripples in his eyes.
It suddenly reminded her of the first time she met him.
Charming, wild and evil. No attachment, yet completely indifferent.
She looked at him, her heart instantly filled with panic.
But what happened? Why did he become like this?
She finally came to him, grabbed his sleeve, frowned and asked: "Xiao Hei? You——"
Before she could react, the man grabbed her with his long arms and pulled her into his arms. He leaned over and bit her lips. Her mouth was suddenly bitten, and before she could scream in pain, the man's tongue invaded forcefully.
It's not a kiss, it's a nibble, it's a bite, it's a desperate demand, it's about tearing it apart and eating it.
He held her tightly in his arms, strangling her to the point of suffocation and pain. He sucked her blood like crazy, and she didn't even respond to his moans of pain.
He seemed to have lost his mind, only caring about his own desires, wanting only to take everything from her.
Xu Xingxing was extremely anxious and worried, but she couldn't break free, couldn't call out, and every time she tried to turn her face slightly, he would tighten his grip on the back of her head, covering it with eagerness, not allowing her to move an inch. Every time she found an opportunity to push him away, his arms would tighten, as if he wanted to sink her into his body.
Why not just go along with him...Xu Xingxing thought tiredly.
But after letting him kiss her for a while, this person actually started to untie her clothes.
Xu Xingxing: ???
The worry in her heart instantly turned into embarrassment, and she suddenly turned her face away half an inch: "You are crazy - um"
Second time: "Someone—hmm"
Third time: "We—"
Xu Xingxing was furious. She raised her hand and cast a spell, pushing the man half a foot away. She yelled, "Yuan Yuan! Someone is watching us!"
Finally, Hou Yuan stopped moving. His eyes were red and full of restlessness. He glanced down casually, picked her up with one hand and was about to leave. In the blink of an eye, he had reached the edge of the illusion array.
Xu Xingxing quickly pinched his face and said anxiously, "Zhou Yuan, Xiao Hei! Have you forgotten why we're here? Are you so anxious? Bai Ze is still in the illusion array! He can't hold it together if you leave like this!"
Finally, Wei Yuan paused, holding her hand and rubbing and biting it, his brow furrowed, looking extremely uncomfortable. He said in a low, hoarse voice, "Urgent."
Xu Xingxing looked into his bloodshot eyes, her heart filled with panic. She held his face and frowned, "...You're not right. What's wrong? What did Shi Chen do to you?"
Yuan Yuan looked quite annoyed, biting her palm and replied, "It's not him."
Xu Xingxing put her hand on his forehead and said anxiously, "Let me see!"
This is a method of observing people's memories, and can only be used between fellow Taoists.
However, she accidentally opened another way for Wei Yuan to ask for it, and then she was led into his sea of consciousness in a trance, and she was caught off guard and openly had a spiritual connection...
Xu Xingxing: May I ask a question?
But Hou Yuan finally regained consciousness, and his bloodlust was slightly suppressed. However, he still felt it was not enough, so he held the woman who was trying to escape from his sea of consciousness and said, "I want more."
Xu Xingxing was so frustrated that she said angrily, "Let's do it later. Bai Ze is still waiting outside! Did Shi Chen give you an aphrodisiac? How come you're still in heat after killing Shi Chen?"
Xu Yuan was tickled by her words, and the redness in his eyes faded slightly. Xu Xingxing saw the opportunity and quickly slipped out of his sea of consciousness.
Then he opened his eyes and pulled his face and said, "Let's take Bai Ze out quickly."
After a pause, he leaned close to his ear and added, "You can do it as many times as you want after you're done."
Hou Yuan's heart trembled, and the restlessness instantly dissipated. He held the little figure in his arms tighter: "Xingxing, keep your word."
.
At this time, Bai Ze came to the center of the lotus with Fu Er's soul in his arms. After listening to Xu Xingxing's words, he smiled and shook his head: "Thank you for your kindness, young lady. I... have decided not to go out."
Xu Xingxing's eyes widened. "Why? You can't hold up this illusion array by yourself anymore."
Bai Ze lowered his eyes slightly: "Yes, as long as you consume my soul power. There are more than 800 souls left here. Some were lured here by Shi Chen using the magic of illusion, and some entered here by mistake. But in the end, the resentment remains, and it is difficult to eliminate it by myself. I have done too much evil before. I want to make these people complete and then send them to reincarnation. Only then can I feel at ease. Besides..."
Bai Ze looked at the person in his arms, "Fu'er is here. I made him suffer so much when he was alive. Now he is dead. I am willing to live with him in this dream and then personally pray for his reincarnation. Please grant me this, young lady."
Xu Xingxing looked at him in silence for a moment, then sighed. He took out his Qiankun bag and poured out a large pile of rare treasures. Then he chanted a spell, and these treasures flew into the sky and attached themselves to the surroundings of the illusion array.
In an instant, the gloomy bottom of the lake became bright.
"These pearls and stones can serve as the foundation of this formation. They should last for a few years. You'd better not use your soul power." Xu Xingxing squatted down to look Bai Ze in the eye. "If Fu'er is reincarnated, you can see him again if you are still alive. So, it's better to stay alive. There is hope only when you are alive, right?"
The light gold in Bai Ze's eyes was tinged with sorrow: "But, is he still the same person after his reincarnation?"
"Why not? Even if they're different, there are still similarities." Xu Xingxing said firmly, "He made that choice at the time because he wanted you to live."
.
The clouds and fog have cleared, and the sky is clear.
Xu Xingxing sat by the lake, looking at the calm lake surface, and put Bai Ze's heart blood into the Qiankun bag.
Thinking of the potion that Wei Yuan had just given Bai Ze, he asked with a twitch of his lips, "So you can communicate with the Book of Beasts, right?"
Hou Yuan picked her up and put her on his lap, nodding, "Yes, but I don't talk much to it."
After saying that, he kissed her again. Xu Xingxing quickly blocked his lips with her eyes and hands: "First, tell me what Na Shichen did to you? Why are you so...abnormal as soon as you come out..."
Although Wei Yuan was still feeling upset, his mind was still clear, so he held her hand and explained the reason.
It turned out that even if Hou Yuan's bones were placed in the alchemy furnace, they could not be melted, so Shi Chen threw these broken bones into the thousand-foot ravine under Chengxu.
The ravine was filled with extremely dark and foul air, and it was also the place where the monks of Chengxu dumped their corpses. Over a long period of time, these broken bones of Zhu Yuan had absorbed countless resentments here.
Later, Chengxu was destroyed and his broken bones were covered under mud and sand. Now they are used by Shi Chen as the basis of this formation. In order to urge people to perfection, he absorbed the dark thoughts of countless people. Therefore, after he absorbed these broken bones, a large amount of evil entered his body, and he was inevitably affected.
After hearing this, Xu Xingxing frowned and asked, "Is it necessary to absorb it? Wouldn't it be better to defeat Shi Chen?"
Hou Yuan held him tighter, as if no amount of tightness would be enough. "If I leave him alone, he'll inevitably be exploited by other evildoers. Furthermore, Shi Chen is cunning. To prevent him from hiding the shattered soul in my broken bones again, I can only feel at ease if I take everything back."
"When did he hide his soul in your broken bones?" Xu Xingxing asked curiously, "You shouldn't have been able to detect it."
"Before I became a demon."
Hou Yuan said, "This man has made too many enemies. About twenty years after I arrived in Chengxu, someone came to attack him and nearly killed him with a sword. To save his life, he imitated the monsters and separated some of his soul. He then found my broken bones to be an excellent hiding place. After placing the soul fragments in them, he wrapped the broken bones in several layers of magic and placed them in the mountain."
His eyes glowed red again, his murderous intent evident. "When I first became a demon, my mind wasn't clear. I destroyed Chengxu and left without investigating in detail, which is why he took advantage of the opportunity."
Xu Xingxing noticed his abnormality and quickly held his face in her hands, saying, "So, is absorbing these broken bones harmful to your body?"
"It's okay. As long as you're here, the resentment will slowly fade." Hou Yuan grabbed her hand and bit it. "My heart is filled with bloodlust right now. Holding you will make me feel better. From now on, you must stay by my side and watch over me."
Xu Xingxing instantly felt a great sense of responsibility and hurriedly hugged him tightly: "Don't worry! I promise to complete the task!"
Then he asked again: "When will your resentment disappear?"
He suddenly bit her fingertips and clasped her hand tightly, which she subconsciously wanted to withdraw: "...Are you really thinking of leaving?"
Xu Xingxing was confused: "What was I thinking?"
"Then why are you asking me this?" Zhu Yuan's eyes turned even redder, and he seemed quite aggressive.
Xu Xingxing held up three fingers and explained sincerely: "I didn't, I was just curious."
Wei Yuan was suspicious: "Really?"
"Seriously." Xu Xingxing pursed her lips helplessly, "We've already gone through this and that, and you're still not worried?"
"I'm worried." He simply ripped open her collar and bit her neck, his voice unusually hoarse, "I'll only feel at ease if I eat you."
Xu Xingxing shifted uncomfortably: "...What kind do you want to eat?"
Hou Yuan's breathing quickened, but he suppressed his lust and emphasized again, "In my current state, if you leave, I will lose control and commit cruel acts. Then you will hate and blame me, and I will imprison and hurt you. This cycle will eventually wear away your love for me... So, Xingxing, from today on, you must stay with me day and night, never leaving my side. Can you do it?"
Xu Xingxing hesitated for a moment and asked, "What about Uncle Shi?"
"I will go with you."
Xu Xingxing paused and said, "Okay."
"Why are you hesitating? Are you unwilling?" Yuan asked in a cold voice, his fangs gnashing against the blood vessels in her neck.
Xu Xingxing: ...
This guy is really sensitive as hell and so honest right now.
So she chose not to speak anymore and just hooked her arms around his neck and kissed him.
A breeze blew, the sound of water shimmered, and thick clouds slowly floated over, blocking the red warm sun.
In the evening, Xu Xingxing and Wei Yuan came to the gate of Tongcheng, intending to stay there for another night and leave tomorrow, but they met a man at the gate.
The man seemed to have been waiting for a long time. When he sensed their presence, he turned around and looked at her.
Xu Xingxing's heart suddenly stopped and she held Hao Yuan's hand even tighter.
Xu Yi.
