After the hero goes crazy

Yao Shouning was amused by Lu Zhi, and the fear in his heart was relieved a lot.

She sat up straight, with the uneven soil under her hands, and Chen Taiwei's figure had disappeared.

"Why did 'he' leave so suddenly?"

Yao Shouning wiped his face and asked.

"Maybe I finally know how to be afraid!" Lu Zhi frowned and pondered for a moment, then said solemnly:

"After all, I have the posture of the sky, and this monster couldn't make me succeed with the god descending technique. In the end, I was shocked out of the body. It can be seen that he knows that he is not my opponent."

"..."

Yao Shouning's tears were still wet, half hanging on his eyelashes. Hearing this, he turned his head away from him and thought to himself: If the eldest princess is here, she will definitely give him a slap when she hears his words. Let him not go crazy.

She ignored Lu Zhi's boasting and tried to think back, but finally remembered one thing:
"He summoned two doors. At that time, I seemed to hear someone calling his name."

"...Hmph!" Seeing that she was ignoring him, Lu Zhi was a little embarrassed for a while, and he hummed softly, and then he heard her talk about business, so he didn't care about playing around anymore, and said instead:
"Has anyone called him?"

He frowned and thought for a while, but found that he didn't hear the call.

At that time when he first came to his senses, he squeezed Chen Taiwei out of his body, and then found that the monster had summoned the 'Gate Gate', so he panicked and only wanted to catch Yao Shouning to prevent the two of them from being sucked in by this weird gate.

After thinking about it carefully, he only cared about stabilizing his figure, and he really didn't hear other voices.

It's possible that he was focused and ignored the external noises - but it's also possible that this voice was not heard by others, only Yao Shouning and the suddenly missing Chen Taiwei heard it.

"Correct."

Yao Shouning was very determined and nodded:

"Someone called him," she recalled carefully, imitating the voice of that person:

"The caller said, 'Master, save me!'" She coughed twice, and added:
"There was another call from behind...his name."

Afterwards, Chen Taiwei's technique was interrupted and he had no choice but to withdraw.

"It's my uncle."

As soon as Lu Zhi heard this, he knew who was calling.

Yao Shouning looked up at him, their eyes met in the darkness, she suddenly remembered what Chen Taiwei said when she was in the courtyard:
"The emperor and Zhu Hengrui are fighting..."

"Yes! It's the emperor."

Yao Shouning nodded hastily: "The Emperor and your mother started fighting, so he called the Empress to break up the fight, but he slipped away in the chaos to chase us down."

Something happened in the palace tonight, which caused the emperor and the eldest princess to conflict.

The eldest princess and his wife probably wanted to use the chaos to attract Chen Taiwei's attention, but this person used his tricks and used the emperor to restrain the couple and Liu Bingzhou.

But judging from the voice Yao Shouning heard at the end, Chen Taiwei's calculations were in vain.

Empress Gu did not succeed in persuading the fight, but the emperor called him away at a critical moment.

"This person has a strange background and extraordinary Taoism."

When it came to serious matters, Lu Zhi's expression became much more serious:

"Being able to perform the 'God's Fall' technique, his cultivation is already very powerful. Logically speaking, he may not be able to obey the emperor's orders."

"Unless—" Yao Shouning's thoughts moved, and he looked towards Shi Zi. The two of them had a tacit understanding at this moment, and they both thought of one thing:
"Unless he has something in the hands of the emperor!"

"Unless the emperor knows his secret!"

The two spoke at the same time, and after saying this, they were silent for a moment, feeling that they might have touched some truth.

Everyone in the world thinks that Emperor Qidi, the Taoist god, was bewitched by Chen Taiwei and ignored the government and only practiced Taoism because the emperor was confused.

But judging from what happened tonight, the relationship between the emperor and the Taoist priest may not be as it is on the surface, and there may be some secrets in it.

This Taoist priest is terrible!

It would be great if the emperor had him in hand.

"I'll go back and ask my parents and let them check it out."

Thinking of this, the son no longer wants to stay here.

Tonight's visit to King Qi's tomb has successfully completed its purpose.

Excluding the relationship between the King of Qi and the 'River God', even though he was extremely frightened tonight, but Chen Taiwei was drawn out, and as Yao Shouning expected, there was no danger in the end, so the trip was worthwhile.

He got up and stretched out his hand in front of Yao Shouning:

"Let's get out of here first."

The two guessed that Chen Taiwei was hurriedly summoned by Emperor Shenqi to leave, but after all, it was just a guess, and Lu Zhi was also worried that this person would go and come back, and then he would stop the two of them.

What happened tonight was a fierce battle for him, but Chen Taiwei was always like a cat playing with a mouse, the more he thought about it, the more he felt aggrieved.

He had deliberately said that he didn't care in front of Yao Shouning earlier, but in fact he had already made up his mind to work harder after returning home.

Yao Shouning nodded, stretched out a hand cautiously, and placed it on Lu Zhi's heart.

He reached out and shook—

"oops!"

The girl let out a cry of pain.

There was a wet feeling from the place where the palms of the two held each other, and then Lu Zhi keenly smelled the smell of blood.

"...Why are you still bleeding?"

Shizi's tone was a little panicked, and he subconsciously let go of his hand.

But without waiting for Yao Shouning to withdraw his hand, he quickly grabbed her wrist again, bent down to look at her face, and saw that her palm was covered in blood and flesh, and a not-so-small wound ran across her palm, and the blood that flowed out It stained her fingers red.

Lu Zhi suddenly remembered that when he met Lan Die in the cemetery of King Qi, she used blood as a technique to force back the coins driven by the technique.

But after that, the two left the cemetery and were hunted down by Chen Taiwei, logically speaking, the blood should have stopped.

wrong!Lu Zhi suddenly thought of the fact that he woke up strangely after being hit by Chen Taiwei's magic drop.

After the divine descent, his consciousness fell into a deep sleep.

During this period, he didn't know what Chen Taiwei did and how Yao Shouning escaped from Chen Taiwei's control when his body was occupied.

Even after he woke up, he thought that he was awakened by his own strength, but the prince thought about it again: since Chen Taiwei can quietly occupy his body ignoring his destiny, how can he drive this person away? Walk?

"Did you drive him away with blood?" Lu Zhi's heart tightened, he grabbed Yao Shouning's wrist and asked dryly.

"..." Yao Shouning hesitated for a moment, wondering whether he should preserve his son's self-esteem, and admitted that he drove Chen Taiwei away by himself.

But in the darkness, Shizi's eyes were extremely bright, staring at her unblinkingly, with a serious expression, obviously wanting to get a real answer, not a coaxing answer.

"Yeah." She nodded slightly.

Shizi felt great pain in his heart, and instantly felt that the wounded hand in his palm weighed more than a thousand catties, which made him unable to grasp it.

"you……"

"After you were possessed by the god descending technique, he wanted to catch me. In a hurry, I just poked your face."

She briefly talked about the ins and outs of the future, and her tone didn't stop when she mentioned what happened next:

"Later, for some reason, I seemed to use your body as a medium...to enter a phantom and contact the seniors of the Bianji clan. They taught me to lend you my strength, and finally they worked together to force 'him' away. "

Yao Shouning instinctively felt that the fact that he communicated with other members of the Bianji clan with his consciousness at that time should be a unique secret of the Bianji clan.

But she had promised Shizi that she would never hide anything from him, not to mention that he had experienced danger several times for himself and was injured many times, so when she mentioned this matter, she said it without hesitation.

She trusts him a lot.

Lu Zhi grasped her wrist and sensed this.

His heart was full of sourness and sweetness, he felt both joy and sweetness, but also a little bit of bitterness: Yao Shouning's trust in him made him happy, but he was incompetent, he once said boldly that he would protect her, but in the end it was only her who could protect him from danger.

Shizi clenched his teeth, and suffered setbacks for the first time in his life.

This feeling came quickly, even when he learned that he had been hit by a demon that day, he had never been so disappointed after being exposed to embarrassment several times.

He remembered that he boasted in front of her before, although most of the reason was to coax her not to cry, but now thinking about it after learning the truth, Lu Zhi fell silent for a while.

He didn't speak anymore, but his fingertips gently rubbed her wrist skin again and again, as if he felt guilty and sad.

"Don't mind."

Yao Shouning strangely guessed what was going on in his mind, and wanted to withdraw his injured hand, but he refused to allow it, so she had to pat his knee with the other hand:
"Anyway, it's already hurt, even if it bleeds, I don't feel any discomfort..."

Before she finished speaking, a sense of exhaustion surged up, and she yawned a little, feeling a little headache.

"Not anymore."

Shizi pursed his lips, and his voice was a little dignified.

At this moment, he seemed to have changed a little, and Yao Shouning couldn't tell what was wrong, but Lu Zhiru said as if swearing:

"Next time I will never be so helpless again, let you hurt yourself to help me!"

He knows that heartache and loss are useless at this moment. Instead of letting regret and self-blame surround him, he should turn grief and anger into motivation, practice hard, and improve his strength. When he meets Chen Taiwei again in the future, he will not be able to hold back like tonight If you run away, you can't even protect the people around you!

"Uh-huh!"

Yao Shouning nodded.

Lu Zhi carefully avoided her wound, pulled her up, and turned to look at the crack in the stone:

"I broke the stone wall here, and from here we enter the palace to join my parents and your grandfather."

"Okay..." Yao Shouning nodded subconsciously at first, then remembered something, and shook his head quickly:

"no!"

The palace is Chen Taiwei's base camp, although after entering the palace at this time, it is more safe for the two of them to join the adults, but Yao Shouning remembered that in the garden before, he heard Chen Taiwei say to himself: "If I The power that can inspire her...find the secret path...appear in the palace...if I don't intervene...at that time...I will protect them and use the emperor to send these two people out of the palace. '

Thinking about it now, the words clearly foreshadowed that the two would use this passage to enter the palace.

"I think that this passage was deliberately led by 'he' to us."

Yao Shouning said to Shizi:

"At that time, it seemed that we were fleeing for our lives, and you opened the way at will, but after thinking about it, this person seems to have the power to block other roads, and deliberately drove us here."

It seemed that Chen Taiwei was also telling them to follow this escape route, and everything was proceeding according to his plan.

Yao Shouning didn't want to do what he wanted, even if he would meet up with the adults after entering the palace, it would be safer then, but Yao Shouning also felt a little awkward.

Somewhere, she had an intuition: only by breaking Chen Taiwei's 'prophecy' can he truly break his control and make things no longer dominated by him.

Lu Zhi also felt that Chen Taiwei drove the two of them here on purpose, so he naturally nodded to Yao Shouning's words, but he frowned and said:

"If we can't leave here, why don't we go back the same way?"

Don't say that the original back road has been blocked by Chen Taiwei, even if he didn't use magic spells, the underground palace collapsed at this time, and he was chased and killed by Chen Taiwei. Lu Zhi opened the way with sword energy indiscriminately. .

"I always feel that there may be a third way."

Yao Shouning thought about it, and said hesitantly.

She wasn't really sure about what she said.

But she had a premonition that the crisis between the two of them tonight was over, and they would never die here.

Since she would not die, she wanted to find another way out, and an accidental thought flooded into her mind:

"Maybe, we will have other gains..."

After communicating with the seniors of the Bianji clan tonight, her strength seemed to have increased a lot.

The perception of the future seems to be clearer than before, and at the same time, he has an epiphany about the control of power.

Naturally, the words of the Bianji family cannot be taken lightly.

After Lu Zhi finished speaking, he nodded almost without hesitation:

"Okay, let's find another way out."

The two stood up holding hands, without taking another look at the cracked stone wall, they walked back along the way they came.

The two held hands in the dark, and they walked in the underground maze for an unknown how long.

The more you walk around, the quieter you will be, and you can't see the light. The people around you are the only source of warmth. Only from the sound of each other's breathing and the rubbing of clothes as you move around, can you realize that you are not walking alone in this seemingly unfamiliar place. In the endless black passage.

Although Yao Shouning proposed to find another way out, she was still young after all, just a 16-year-old girl.

The dark and deep tunnel of the cemetery still made her nervous and afraid, especially when a dangerous person like Chen Taiwei appeared here before.

But fortunately, Lu Zhi was by her side without hesitation, and she held Lu Zhi's hand even tighter. Immediately, Shizi's breathing changed. :

"what happened?"

She felt even tighter in her heart, and the faint fear was soothed by his vigilance and meticulous attention, she shook her head:

"fine."

Lu Zhi clasped her hand even tighter, as if sensing what she was thinking, he added:
"Do not be afraid."

The two of them walked for an unknown amount of time, and the tunnels they had experienced were sometimes blocked by collapsed mud and sand, and sometimes seemed to be irregular passages that he opened with his sword energy.

This road seems extremely long, without end.

But Lu Zhi was very calm, and he just walked around at will anyway. Time passed bit by bit, and the surrounding air gradually became cloudy. Yao Shouning felt dizzy and dizzy. the sound of:

"Master Jingqing, you... this bowl of medicine... it's getting late..."

"Who?"

The voice was very soft, indistinct, as if it came from a distance, and was captured by Yao Shouning with the help of the Bianji clan.

It was very quiet all the way, but Yao Shou Ning Leng's eyes lit up when he heard the voice.
