Chapter 173-What is hidden?
"Guixu...Longji." An ancient name naturally came to Tieniu's mind.
His huge eyes were fixed on the dark golden hammer. Under his bronze skin, the dormant star power was humming and boiling uncontrollably, as if it had met its destined destination!
"It...it's calling me!" Tie Niu said in a muffled voice, struggling to stand up, his huge body trembling slightly with excitement.
Chu Linyuan held Xie Zhao in his arms. His cold eyes swept across the newly formed "Guixu Dragon Spine" and then fell on Tieniu. He nodded slightly and said, "It belongs to you."
"Really...really?!" A light of ecstasy suddenly burst out on Tie Niu's huge face, and his huge fists collided with each other in excitement, making a dull sound.
Luo Hongyi looked at his silly expression, her red lips curled slightly, then her face turned stern again: "It's yours, then it's yours! What are you yelling about? It's making my ears hurt! Why don't you just go over and take it! Are you standing here like a pillar?"
A swirling of poisonous mist from her fingertips gently lifted the Iron Ox's massive body and pushed it towards the suspended Guixu Dragon Spine.
Tie Niu's huge palm trembled, and with incomparable piety and excitement, he grasped the handle of the dark gold hammer!
Buzz——!!!
A vast and powerful force, as if coming from ancient stars, instantly surged into Tie Niu's body!
The originally dim star patterns on his bronze skin seemed to be ignited, bursting out with an unprecedented bright silver light!
An aura as steady as a mountain and as domineering as a dragon burst out from him. Under the influence of the power of the stars, the injuries he had suffered before began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye!
His huge body seemed to be completely integrated with the Guixu Dragon Spine!
"Good...good baby!" Tie Niu said in a muffled voice, his huge palm caressing the cold dragon scale patterns on the hammer lovingly, with pure fanaticism in his eyes.
Su Tang watched this scene, her psychic eyes sparkling. Subconsciously, she reached for the Star Attraction Token at her waist. The token was slightly warm, and the miniature star map on its surface was emitting a warm glow.
Her mind moved slightly, and she tried to activate the galaxy resonance power left by Mo Chen in the token, and a faint starlight message was quietly sent out.
Almost at the same time, in the direction of the distant Falling Star Sea, a faint starlight penetrated the evil clouds of the God Burial Abyss. As if in response, it flickered gently, leaving a subtle but clear star track mark on Su Tang's Star Attraction Order.
Su Tang's little face instantly broke into a smile of surprise, as if she had secretly eaten honey.
At the edge of the square, Uncle Chen hunched his back and slowly swept up the last bit of energy crystal dust.
The cloudy old eyes swept over Chu and Xie who were hugging each other in the ruins, Tie Niu who was grinning foolishly with his new weapon, Luo Hongyi who was looking at Tie Niu with a smile on her lips, Su Tang who was secretly happy while holding the Star Yin Ling, and Bai Xiaolu who was holding Rabbit and quietly looking at the Heart Lamp.
Then, he dragged the broom and slowly walked towards the main hall, his figure disappearing in the shadow behind the door.
Three days later at dusk.
The Talisman Array Tower has already taken shape. The first layer is covered with ferocious armor interwoven with red and dark gold. The second layer, which is under construction, is covered with light gold talisman vines drawn by Xie Zhao on the star-patterned iron frame.
The Guixu Heart Lamp was suspended in the center of the tower's top platform. Its soft light was like a lighthouse, illuminating the entire Immortal-killing Square and dispelling the eternal coldness at the edge of the abyss.
At the edge of the tower's top platform, Xie Zhao leaned against the cold star-patterned iron fence, the Jinghong Talisman Pen turning flexibly at his fingertips, his peach blossom eyes reflecting the surging evil clouds in the distance and the soft light of the heart lamp, with a lazy smile on the corner of his mouth.
Although his face was still a little pale, his internal injuries were no longer a problem due to Chu Linyuan's continuous warming of his evil spirit and the elixir specially made by Luo Hongyi.
Footsteps sounded behind him, steady and familiar.
Xie Zhao didn't look back, but the smile on his lips deepened.
Chu Linyuan walked over to him, his black robes fluttering in the evening breeze, his figure still as straight as a pine tree. He said nothing, simply standing shoulder to shoulder, his cold eyes also cast into the distance.
Silence flowed between the two of them, but it was no longer the cold or awkwardness of the past, but a tacit understanding and peace that required no words. The light of the heart lamp gently shone on them, stretching their two shadows so long that they almost overlapped.
"Brother," Xie Zhao suddenly spoke, his voice lazily teasing, "Do you think our tower is still lacking an observation deck? It would be best to add a soft couch so that some people can lie down and watch the stars?"
Chu Linyuan's cold eyes swept over Xie Zhao's expression of "I am seriously making suggestions", and he pursed his thin lips slightly: "Fancy."
"How can you call it fancy!" Xie Zhao immediately sat up straight, and pointed the Jinghong Fu Pen at the heart lamp, "This is called quality of life! Look how bright the heart lamp is! If you don't make a comfortable place to appreciate it, wouldn't it be a waste of nature's gift? Besides..."
He changed the subject, blinking mischievously, "...looking at the stars while lying down is definitely more convenient than... um... looking at the stars while standing?"
Under Xie Zhao's pointed gaze, Chu Linyuan's ears quickly turned red again!
He suddenly turned sideways, his cold eyes glaring at Xie Zhao with a hint of warning and barely perceptible shame.
However, this time, Xie Zhao didn't dodge or run away. Instead, he raised his head, meeting Chu Linyuan's gaze, his smile bright and confident as never before. He spun the Jinghong Fu Pen around his fingertips and gently tapped Chu Linyuan's clenched fist.
"Senior Brother..." Xie Zhao's voice was very soft, with a hint of bewitching tenderness, "...the Supreme Being forgets emotions...hiding emotions in the abyss...what is hidden in that abyss of the heart now?"
Chu Linyuan's body froze instantly! Intense waves surged in his cold eyes, like a cold pond into which a huge rock had been thrown.
He looked at Xie Zhao's smiling face so close to him, and at the peach blossom eyes that reflected his own figure, which were filled with undisguised passion and expectation.
What is hidden in the abyss of the heart?
Is it the bone-gnawing pain and the freezing despair in the stone chamber of childhood?
Is it the real warmth and weight that I held in my arms when the abyss collapsed last night?
Is it the pair of eyes in front of him that are filled with stars and are only for him?
All the cold barriers and all the ruthless sword intent seemed to become shaky under the gaze of those eyes.
Chu Linyuan's Adam's apple rolled with difficulty.
He suddenly stretched out his hand, no longer instructing on the Dao, no longer transmitting evil spirit, but with an almost brutal force, he grabbed Xie Zhao's neck!
In front of Xie Zhao's dilated pupils of astonishment, Chu Linyuan leaned down!
The cold and trembling lips, with unquestionable strength, fiercely and accurately covered Xie Zhao's lips, which were slightly open due to astonishment!
It was no longer the unexpected feather-like touch of last night.
It was a real kiss.
Awkward, clumsy, even with a hint of gnashing teeth, yet boiling hot like magma erupting! Like a volcano frozen for thousands of years, finally finding an outlet to vent!
All the restraint, all the forbearance, all the emotions hidden deep in the abyss, at this moment, are ignited in the most primitive and direct way!
