MTL - The Sword Named No Way Out-Chapter 41

"Hey, who would have thought that monster would suddenly jump out of the cage, if the child hadn't jumped on it and pushed Second Young Master away..."

"Hands and feet were cut off, lungs were crushed, and the right half of the body was completely destroyed. What a crime!"

"I don't know how long the immortal medicine can hang people's lives?"

"It's so pitiful, she looks so beautiful..."

Blood-stained bandages were piled high beside the bed, and the broken internal organs were stained on the blanket, exuding an indescribable smell. The young Bailao was nestled on the bed, and the right side of his body under the quilt collapsed strangely, as if he had lost his abdominal cavity. The position where his right arm and leg should have been bent was bent into a shocking shape.

"No matter what the elixir is, as long as it can sustain life, I will let others take it. Thank you for saving my brother's life. If you still have any wishes, you can tell me now..."

The young Juzong was standing beside the sick bed and talking, but Bai Sie didn't listen. There were still tears in the corners of the child's eyes covered with pain, and he opened his eyes wide in ignorance, and his eyes shifted to the boy standing behind Juzong.

The second son of the eldest grandson family, Du Kaixun.

He was not two years older than Sapphire, but much taller and stronger than Slender Sapphire. His natural madness and cruelty cannot be revealed from his handsome facial features. Just from his appearance, his bright and energetic eyebrows and deep and distinct outline are even very attractive to girls. He has already shown the appearance of a handsome young man in the future .

Probably because he met Bai Shi's timid gaze, the corner of his mouth curled up and he laughed.

Ju Zong said: "I asked someone to ask. It said that you entered the eldest grandson's house during the great famine three years ago, and your parents and family members were gone. I don't know if you have any other wishes? I can do whatever it is..."

"It doesn't matter," Bai Fei said in a low voice.

He lowered his head under Juzong's gaze, trying his best to curl up, but his young and broken body couldn't do it.

"Yes... Second Young Master gave me food, otherwise I would... starve to death."

He swallowed, wanted to say something but didn't dare, he could only repeat it stubbornly for a long while:

"It's ok."

From the moment he stepped into the gate of the eldest grandson's family, his life no longer belonged to him.

The eldest grandson Chengfeng fell into silence, raised his hand for a while and gently touched the top of the child's soft black hair, and said in a low voice, "Have a good rest."

The door opened and closed again, and the room filled with the strong smell of blood and medicine finally became quiet.

Bai Lai was lying on the bed alone, staring blankly at the bed curtain with wide-open eyes.

squeak—

At this time, the sound of pushing the door suddenly sounded again, and the light band extended from the crack of the door into the house. Du Kaixun went back and forth, got into the room under the sudden light of Bai Lao's sight, walked around the sick bed with his hands behind his back, then stopped and said with a smile: "Don't listen to my brother."

"Second son..."

"You can't survive." Du Kaixun interrupted him mercilessly.

Perhaps because he knew it already, Bai Shang didn't react too much, but the look in his eyes gradually dimmed, and he pursed his pale and tender lips for a long time.

Du Kaixun found a chair and sat down, observing him condescendingly, as if he discovered something more interesting inside through the incomplete and embarrassing appearance, and suddenly asked: "Do you want to survive?"

Bai Shui raised his head blankly.

"Can you do anything for me?"

"..." The still light in Bai Shang's eyes lit up inch by inch.

Du Kaixun's smile deepened. He leaned his body close to Bai Shang's ear, as if sharing a secret with his playmates, and with a trembling of excitement in the end, he said softly and word by word:

"When I condense out the soldiers, I will train you into soldiers."

"In this way, you will not be in pain, you will not die, and you will always be by my side and be loyal to me."

"You will always love me, forever."

…

That love will never be violated, just like the command of the master to the soldiers, it is supreme and will never change.

"—Didn't you say you liked me and vowed never to leave me?"

In the front hall of the Punishment Court, the sun was pale and dazzling. Du Kaixun, who has grown into an adult, has a more stretched figure and outline, but the hostility in his smile is more difficult to hide. He walked around in full view with his hands behind his back, stopped under the horrified gaze of Bai Lai, and said with a smile : "Then cut your heart out and show me."

Everyone was stunned, Dongshou stood up and shouted, "Du Kaixun!"

"What's the matter?" Du Kaixun looked down at Bai Shang's bloodless face, and his smile became more and more ferocious: "I told you to cut out your heart, didn't you hear?"

Don't do this, please don't do this.

My heart is the last of my flesh and blood, I will die if I cut it out, please don't do this—

However, order represents absolute control, which means that there is no way to resist. With his eyes wide open, Bai Shui saw his hand raised inch by inch, trembling and stretched towards his left chest cavity, his ears were buzzing with great desperation and disbelief. In a trance, he heard someone in the hall yelling to stop, someone scolding, the head of the palace came striding forward, grabbed his hand that was about to take out his heart, but he couldn't stop it completely, Bai Shi's hand was still stretched out little by little in the struggle. To the chest!

"It must be the spirit of speech!" Someone came to understand: "This kid dares to use the curse of the spirit of speech on the slave to force him to dig out his heart!"

"It's too much, how can it be so much?!" "No way, Dean of the Palace! You have to find a way to stop that kid surnamed Du!" "Hurry up!"

A monk didn't care much anymore, he drew his sword and pointed at Du Kaixun who was being pushed down by everyone: "Why don't you untie it soon?!"

But the next moment he started laughing, and he just let his throat point to several Senhan's sword tips, as if this scene aroused his crazier bloodlust.

"No, I just want to see his heart." Du Kaixun said with a smile, "It's useless to kill me, come on."

The voices of the surrounding people seemed to blow up a frying pan, and the angry accusations and roars almost toppled the roof, but Bai Sie couldn't hear anything. Gong Wei just couldn't break his hand with brute force, and he didn't dare to use spiritual power to directly break the bone or cut it off with a single knife. The force was so great that blood oozes from the seams of the nails. Break his hands away, quick!"

I don't deserve you to hurt yourself, President Palace.

useless.

Bai Shui's fingertips had already pressed into the flesh of his chest, and the last bit of strength could only make him move his lips palely a few times. At this moment, just listen to—Kang Dang!

The door burst open, and a familiar figure came in with a sword. The powerful aura shocked everyone to stagger, and someone lost their voice: "Juzong!"

Bai Xun looked over at Sheng, his pupils suddenly constricted.

The young grandson Chengfeng's face was cold, he put down his sword and stood up, and before he could say a word, he quickly walked over and held Bai Shi, with a flash of spiritual light on the tip of his finger, he poked into the machine like a phantom, and went right behind him spine.

Du Kaixun, who was still at ease just now, suddenly realized something, and suddenly broke away from the crowd: "Stop!"

But before the words fell, everyone saw Changsun Chengfeng turn his wrist, and at the same time, a clear and crisp sound came out from the back of Bai Shang's body—Kala!

Du Kaixun was furious: "No!"

As if a certain forbidden switch was finally closed, Bai Shui let go of his hand in response, and fell back slumped, hot tears finally came out of his eyes!

Du Kaixun was still roaring angrily, and the voices of people around him faded into the distant background.

He smelled the faint woody fragrance in Juzong's embrace, and his mind was suddenly very quiet, like a vast plain after a heavy snowfall, the whole world was getting farther and farther away from him until it turned into vague and unclear light spots.

"You don't belong to him anymore," Changsun Chengfeng's gentle and calm voice sounded beside his ears.

"He doesn't deserve it."

"You have nothing to do with him anymore."

Bai Shi opened his quiet eyes.

In the lobby of the Jinchuan Sky Pavilion, the mirror-like floor is vast and bright, reflecting the huge purple light array incomparably magnificent. He sat cross-legged on the magic circle, not far away, Changsun Chengfeng immediately strode forward, frowning and asked: "How?"

Mu Duozhu was withdrawing the last ray of spiritual power used for detection from the back of Bai Shang's neck until the thin line formed by the thick purple light disappeared completely, then he stood up and said: "All the spiritual veins, bones, The soldier silk at the joints is intact and there is no shortage of quantity. It seems that the soldier silk extracted from Fahua Immortal Venerable's bone has nothing to do with Master Bai, and should have been refined later."

He couldn't help frowning, and said suspiciously: "That Du Kaixun is really not dead, this matter is very strange."

Changsun Chengfeng looked at Bai Fei in front of him with a complicated expression.

"Master Ying and the others are still waiting for the results outside, so I'll go first." Mu Duozhu bowed his hands politely: "Master Bai, I have offended you so much today, don't take it to heart."

Bai Lai bowed politely.

After Mu Duozhu left, silence returned to the hall of the Sky Pavilion. The round magic circle radiated a radiant light, reflecting Juzong's expression dimly. After a long time, he finally let out a sigh of relief. He knelt down on one knee in front of Bailu, and picked up the right hand that was hanging by his side.

There was only one silk thread left in that hand, which was connected to the broken wrist, and Changsun Chengfeng took it back with his own hands. There was a slight sound of machinery running at the fracture, and there was only a faint red mark left on the damaged skin, and the red mark gradually disappeared after a while.

The injury did not leave any traces on the surface of the soldier. As long as you close your eyes and don't look, think, or recall, it's as if the tragic past that was hacked into pieces never happened.

"Don't hurt yourself next time." Changsun Chengfeng said in a low voice, "I'm not the one to help you make this body, and I can't restore the skeletal body completely."

Bai Lai looked at him quietly, without saying a word.

The eldest grandson Chengfeng bent over to pick up the robe on the ground, and carefully draped it on Bai Fei's body with one knee and half kneeling on the ground, with a gentle, serious and focused expression, as if wrapping some rare treasure: "Don't be afraid, White Shot."

After a pause, he said again: "I will not let you suffer any harm again."

Bai Shui said softly: "It's okay..."

The light of lavender drifted faintly, like a dream. Bai Shi's beautiful face seemed unreal in this light, just looking at Changsun Chengfeng so deeply, it seemed as if he saw a more distant and elusive time through him.

"It doesn't matter, it's what I want to do."

He closed his eyes, listened to the sound of his heart beating up and down in his chest, and whispered: "...Master Juzong."

·

"The soldiers in Bai Zhenren's body are intact?" Ying Kai confirmed again with a more emphatic tone.

Mu Duozhu cupped his hands and said: "That's true. Except for a heart that is still flesh and blood, the bones, joints, and spirit veins of the white scorpion have all been mechanized, and there is no shortage of soldiers in the whole body. The soldier silk in Zun's body was indeed refined by Du Kaixun later."

He turned to Xu Shuangce, with a teasing look on his face: "I went all the way to the ice field and didn't kill a Du Kaixun, Sect Master Xu? You even missed some times?"

Unexpectedly, Xu Shuangce didn't answer him, and neither did Ying Kai.

The golden boat moved forward slowly, and the wind howled on the rooftop. The two great masters stood leaning against the railing, Ying Kai frowned, and said slowly: "The body and the head are separated, and the sword pierces the heart, there is no chance of survival, even if he turns himself into a soldier. possible."

As he spoke, he paused, and asked, "Shuang Ce, do you still remember that ghost cultivator in Linjiangdu?"

Xu Shuangce asked: "What?"

"You threw Du Kaixun's head off the cliff, and that ghost Xiu had no head under his hood; Du Kaixun wanted Gong Zhengyu's right eye when he was alive, and Gong Zhengyu's bone after death, and Linjiang The ghost cultivators in the capital are also killing everywhere and are related to the Fahua Immortal Venerable, who can become the person who can provide his body for his rebirth." Ying Kai frowned more and more tightly, "The various connections are really strange, and the word 'coincidence' can no longer be simply used. Let me explain.—Do you think it is possible that after Du Kaixun died, he turned himself into that ghost cultivator in Linjiangdu?"

Mu Duozhu was surprised and said, "Ghost cultivator?"

Unexpectedly, Xu Shuangce was silent for a moment, but shook his head: "Only with a high level of cultivation in life, can one become a ghost cultivator after death. Although this kid's talent is amazing, but when he died, he was not as good as a weak crown, so the possibility of becoming a ghost cultivator is not very high. On the contrary. ..."

He stopped talking abruptly, and Mu Duozhu asked, "What is it?"

Xu Shuangce remained silent.

Ying Kai was a little helpless: "I understand what you mean, you still insist that the ghost cultivator in Linjiangdu is the resurrection of Fahua Immortal, right?"

This argument happened once after they left Linjiangdu. Xu Shuangce insisted that the ghost cultivator had something to do with Gong Wei, so Ying Kai made a special trip to Dingxianling to check on Gong Wei's body. The disaster of a group of corpses.

But judging from the current situation, as Ying Kai said, the suspicion on Du Kaixun is much greater than that of Fahua Immortal Venerable.

Xu Shuangce was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Ying Kai."

"how?"

"Do you think Gong Zhengyu had two souls, good and evil?"

Both Ying Kai and Mu Duozhu were stunned, and then laughed at the same time. Yi Zong shook his head with a smile and said: "Not to mention that this kind of thing is like a person born with two heads, just say that you, me and Brother Ying have personally checked Fahua Immortal Venerable when he was young. Soul, if there is any abnormality, wouldn't we have been able to discover it decades ago? Brother Xu, even if you don't trust us, you should trust yourself, right?"

Xu Shuangce did not answer Mu Duozhu. His eyes are still dark and calm at first glance, but if you look closely, you will find that there is some laxity in the depths of the pupils, as if you have suddenly fallen into a long dream.

Ying Kai asked suspiciously, "Shuang Ce?"

"..."

Xu Shuangce's eyes seemed to be staring at an erratic point in the air, and after a long while, he suddenly said softly: "I sometimes wonder... Could it be that since Gong Zhengyu's death, we have all fallen into a huge illusion?"

The two were startled, Ying Kai frowned and asked, "Why do you think so?"

Xu Shuangce was dressed in black underwear, his handsome and indifferent face was even colder under the sunlight, his black eyes were like two deep wells, and his thin lips were tightly pursed without saying a word.

"This should be impossible, Shuang Ce." Ying Kai pondered for a moment, then said slowly: "Among the world's three major illusions, only 'Mirror Through Yin and Yang' can build a brand new magic weapon with the help of the thousand-degree mirror world artifact." Illusion, but it is absolutely impossible to include all our masters. Besides, it is very simple to distinguish between reality and illusion, don’t you remember the iron rule? - There is no illusion in illusion, unless it is to construct illusion people."

"For example, when you were in the world of illusions in the thousand-degree mirror world, only Gong Zhengyu could use illusions, and all the beings in the mirror didn't know that illusions existed; you can see that the illusions of Taoism and hundreds of schools are still there, so you can know that this world is not an illusion. It's real. Anyway, why do you have such weird ideas?"

Both of them stared at him closely, but Xu Shuangce didn't seem to be listening at all, and suddenly asked: "Then are we in a dream?"

Ying Kaiqi said: "What?"

"Could it be that I had a dream, and everyone in this world is just a dream creation?"

Mu Duozhu finally couldn't listen anymore, he rolled up his sleeves, moved his wrists, and said politely: "Brother Xu, if you are really confused, I would like to help you with the power of thunder, I believe your confusion will be solved immediately ..."

Ying Kai quickly pulled him back, and asked Xu Shuangce, "You really think so?"

"..."

"In recent years, you have been unable to retreat in Cangyang Mountain more and more. Maybe it's because your entry has stagnated, so you can't help but think too much. After the matter with the soldiers is over, you might as well come to Shu Palace to stay for a while. Brother Mu and I will help you How about you sort out the spiritual veins?"

Xu Shuangce did not answer. After a while, he lowered his eyelashes, exhaled, and said, "No need. I was worrying too much."

Ying Kai traveled all over the world with Xu Shuangce when they were teenagers, knowing that it is extremely difficult to persuade friends who are strong-willed, and sometimes even suspected of being stubborn, so he could only hold down his anxiety for the time being and reluctantly nodded.

At this time, a disciple came out from the attic with the curtain lifted, stepped forward and bowed quickly: "Master Yizong, someone from the ice pavilion came to report, saying that 90% of the soldiers in Hua Xianzun's remains have been withdrawn, and half a month later." It's time to pump out the time. What advice do you have?"

If Du Kaixun really wants the remains of Fahua Immortal Venerable, and there is a way that no one knows about sneaking into Dingxian Mausoleum, then the best way is naturally to move the immortal body to Xunshu Palace, and Ying Kai will take care of it personally. ——Ying Kai was about to say something, but at this moment, he heard the bead curtain connecting the roof and the attic lifted, and Changsun Chengfeng stepped in:

"My fellow immortals, wait a moment. May I ask if the bones of the immortal are being sealed in the ice pavilion?"

Mu Duozhu said "ah": "What is Juzong's opinion?"

The tit-for-tat fierceness on Changsun Chengfeng's body has disappeared, and the easy-going and friendliness has returned to that handsome face again. He folded his hands in the sleeves of his robe, and said with a smile: "I have a method, which is very dangerous, but it may be able to trace to the place where Du Kaixun is currently hiding."

Ying Kai asked suspiciously, "How?"

·

The ice pavilion, a large array of corpses.

Gong Wei stood next to his own bones on the ice bed, feeling at a loss in his heart, as if he was missing something.

His mind was very chaotic, with countless thoughts in a mess, as if he had realized something instinctively, but when he thought about it carefully, he couldn't figure out anything, and he was blank in a daze.

After an unknown amount of time, the biting chill in the corpse pavilion finally woke him up slowly. Gong Wei froze and started to put the mortuary clothes back on the corpse. She was upset and didn't take another look. She couldn't explain where the inexplicable desire to escape came from. She turned around and was about to leave the hall.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, there were suddenly a few footsteps outside the door, and Ying Kai's voice came closer and closer: "—Chengfeng, you said this method is dangerous, where exactly is the danger?"

someone is coming!

Gong Wei's footsteps paused, and he didn't decide whether to stay where he was or rush out to call his senior brother. In that short breath, he heard a few footsteps and came to the gate of the corpse pavilion. Fortunately, the two gatekeeper disciples had recovered their senses, and they saluted one after another: "Greetings to the leader, greetings to Sect Master Xu!"

Xu Shuangce? !

Gong Wei shook his hand, but he didn't even react, his body had already taken a step ahead and turned his head to look around. Unfortunately, the rotunda is empty, there is not even a screen to hide in, there is a carved window in the far corner, Gong Wei rushes over to look like a hurricane, and it is locked!

What to do, to hide or not to hide?

The disciples outside the door made five or six calls in a row, and all the great masters in the world have gathered together. In desperation, Gong Wei's mind was in a mess, and he turned around suddenly, his eyes suddenly fixed.

Between the bottom of the Xuanbing bed and the floor, there is a concealed and narrow gap of less than half a foot.

The door opened with a creak, and several pairs of feet filed in.

"Although I don't know how Du Kaixun planted the soldier silk into the golden coffin, it is unlikely that he himself got into the Dingxian Mausoleum." Changsun Chengfeng walked to Xuanbing's bed and stood still, and glanced at the soldier. When the human thread was pulled out, he turned back and said: "That means he can't manipulate his puppet at close range, it is likely that he planted a set of clear and complete action instructions for Fa Huazun's fairy body through the human thread in advance. "

"—for example, 'Come to my place'?" Ying Kai asked with a frown.

"My guess is. At the same time, there should be a specific location where I am hiding." Changsun Chengfeng said: "So as long as we find out what he instructed Fahua Immortal Venerable to do, we can know what he is planning and the current hiding place gone."

Under the ice bed, "Xiang Xiaoyuan"'s rare double-yin physique perfectly blended into this icy and snowy corpse pavilion. Gong Wei held his breath and leaned against the floor, staring closely at a pair of white-faced and black-soled silk boots beside him. .

That was Xu Shuangce.

I don't know if it was his illusion, but the Cangyang Sect Master seemed to be standing closer to the Xuanbing Coffin, and even gave him a sense of oppression that was close at hand.

Ying Kai asked: "How can I know what he instructed the palace... what did he instruct this bone puppet to do?"

"The previous Juzongs could pour their primordial spirit into the bodies of soldiers, and perceive the consciousness that soldiers once had through the threads of soldiers. If Fahua Xianzun is still alive, this method is simple and easy, and I am bound to do it; but The dangerous thing now is that Fa Huazun has passed away, and it is extremely risky to use the soul to perceive the dead, which is no different from rushing into the ghost wall."

"Therefore, now it is necessary for a grand master with an extremely high realm and a very strong soul to use spiritual power to infuse the soldiers in the body of Fahua Xianzun, and use his own soul to 'clear the way' for me, and I will be able to help you all." Show what is the picture that Du Kaixun has left in the consciousness of the immortal." At this point, Changsun Chengfeng paused and looked around at everyone: "I am incompetent, not yet in the Mahayana realm, so I dare not rush into the boundary of life and death. Grandmaster is willing to bear the risk of damage to the primordial spirit for me?"

The primordial spirit straddles Yin and Yang directly, even if it is slightly damaged, it is no different from dying.

Everyone looked at me, I looked at you, Mu Duozhu stepped back a foot on tiptoe, and said politely: "How dare I use an axe in front of all the great masters?"

Yu Chirui has been looking at the corpse on the ice bed, his eyes are a little sad. At this time, he was taking out the five-spice peanuts he often ate from his sleeve, and wanted to gently put a few near the dead body; when he heard this, he stopped, raised his head in a daze, blinked his eyes twice, and suddenly pointed at Xu Shuangce: "—why didn't he go?"

In fact, everyone has been secretly wary of Xu Shuangce's sudden attack to destroy the corpse since they entered the corpse pavilion, but unexpectedly, Xu Shuangce has been silent and silent, without any response.

It wasn't until Yu Chirui called his name that he finally raised his head and exhaled, and said lightly, "I'll do it."

However, the principle that Yu Chirui has always insisted on is to oppose Sect Master Xu—I oppose what Sect Master Xu supports, and I support what Sect Master Xu opposes; Do. Seeing this scene, he immediately changed his mind: "No, I'll do it."

Grandson Chengfeng: "..."

Mu Duozhu: "..."

Ying Kai lifted his forehead and sighed: "Changsheng, monks in the early stage of the Mahayana realm should not rush into danger." Then he turned to Xu Shuangce under Yuchirui's unconvinced stare, and said, "Don't you have a love... a little disciple was planted After entering the soldier's silk, the spiritual veins are damaged every inch, do you need to pour a lot of spiritual power every day?"

Everyone looked sideways, but Xu Shuangce's face remained unchanged: "How?"

"If your primordial spirit is damaged, won't it delay the disciple's treatment? Therefore, it is safest for me to come in person." Ying Kai turned back to Juzong, with a gentle tone that could not be refused: "Chengfeng, you don't hesitate to use your skills, I will let you." My soul will clear the way for you."

"What?" Yu Chirui let go of his hands and raised his head to object: "How can this be done!"

Three or four peanuts in his hand rolled along the edge of the ice bed to the corner of the corpse's head, and then fell through the small gap between the ice bricks.

Pat, clack, clack.

Gong Wei, who was lying flat at the feet of the crowd, was expressionless, watching the spiced peanuts leaking from the top of his head, one by one falling on the ground in front of him.

"Chengfeng has always done things safely, and there will not be too much risk. I think this is the way to decide." Ying Kai finally couldn't help but lowered his voice and scolded: "—Changsheng, your food fell on the floor again!"

Changsun Chengfeng said: "Although there is a risk, there is nothing we can do. Right now, we can only do this risky move." He also couldn't help sighing: "There is such an evil in the clan, it's really because I don't manage the family strictly, and I can't escape. The blame-ah! If Sect Master Xu hadn't missed seventeen years ago and really killed Du Kaixun in the extreme north, why is this misfortune now!"

Under the ice bed, Gong Wei's eyelids twitched suddenly.

Seventeen years ago, Xu Shuangce went to kill Du Kaixun?

The extreme north is thousands of miles away from Cangyang Mountain, why would he do this?

He was thinking wildly, when suddenly Mu Duozhu's cold voice came from above his head: "Jianzong? What are you doing?"

Gong Wei underground and Yu Chirui on the ground froze at the same time.

"Abandoning filth is strictly prohibited on the golden boat. Did you know that last time Liu Xuzhi threw four grape skins, his disciple Meng Yunfei came to pay him four thousand taels of silver to redeem him?"

The surroundings fell into silence for a moment, and Shaoqing Yingkai said tremblingly: "Brother Mu, it's too dark for you...Changsheng pick it up soon!"

Yu Chirui let out a muffled "Oh", only to realize that the peanuts had all fallen from the cracks in the ice bricks, so without saying a word, he lay down on the ground and stretched out his hands under the ice bed to pick them up.

Gong Wei: "?!"

The air freezes.

Gong Wei: "..."

Yu Chirui: "..."

One of them was lying under the coffin, the other was lying on the side of the coffin, they looked at each other with blank expressions, and suddenly there was a wide-eyed stare.
