The witch looks at her moves

Chapter 81 Infernal Affairs
The cold rain crawled along the back and into the empty body, coating the body with a thin layer of frost.

Su Zhen shivered coldly.

Shao Xiaoxiao hugged him tighter. She stood on her tiptoes slightly, pressed her soft lips against his cheek, pressed against his ear, and said softly:

"Don't be sad. Senior sister said she just went back to school. She said that when things are calm in the future, we can pick her up from school together!"

Su Zhen forced out a smile, quickly cheered up, said "Okay", took Shao Xiaoxiao's hand and ran to the door where it was out of the rain.

Xia Ru looked back in front of the giant copper door, with the mist lingering behind her. She seemed like a slim ghost walking out of the mountains, cold and lonely.

"Hello, Teacher Xia." Shao Xiaoxiao greeted obediently, with a somewhat reserved voice.

"Xiaoxiao, do you want to come in too?" Xia Ru asked.

"Of course, I'm here even though I'm here..."

Shao Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment and asked worriedly: "Will it be dangerous inside? I don't know anything, will it hurt you?"

"It's not dangerous inside, but it's a bit scary. Are you scared?" Xia Ru asked seriously.

Shao Xiaoxiao, who said he was not afraid at all, unknowingly lowered his body and changed from holding hands to grabbing Su Zhen's arms with both hands, as if he was afraid that the person next to him would disappear.

"They actually talked so much?" Xia Ru was slightly unhappy.

Su Zhen and Shao Xiaoxiao both had this idea. They did not expect to see the legendary Three Wisdom Bodhisattva so soon.

She is the only survivor among the Four Divine Craftsmen. According to Shao Xiaoxiao's description, Yu Yue should have sewed her soul into the wind back then to escape the hunting of the Eight Kings.

"Xiaoxiao, what did my sister say to Yu Yue before we came back?" Su Zhen asked curiously.

Xia Ru nodded lightly and said, "If we want to take action, we should have taken action long ago. Xiaojia deliberately delayed the time until the day and night in Xijing Kingdom alternate. I'm afraid he just wanted to leave a way out for Yu Yue."

He recalled these and experienced Yu Yue's state of mind.

There are no grotesque scenery, nor wild ghosts with green faces and fangs. What comes rushing towards you is only the endless darkness that cannot even be illuminated by fire. In the world shrouded in darkness, the sense of unknown continues to convey fear and hallucinations. The ground no longer seems solid and reliable, making people feel that the next step will be empty.

Also, what was their purpose in building the four miracles? The idea of ​​erecting monuments and erecting legends can highlight the brutality of the Four Divine Craftsmen in their later years and make the war more legitimate, but this is probably not the truth.

"Teacher Xia also has the habit of asking questions knowingly?" Su Zhen responded with a smile.

"I'm not afraid." Shao Xiaoxiao clenched his fists.

"It seems that sister doesn't really want to kill Yu Yue, or... she actually can't kill Yu Yue. Her purpose of doing all this is to scare Yu Yue out of our bodies. Logically speaking, Yu Yue is like this People shouldn’t be fooled, but the souls of the three divine craftsmen held by the three divine weapons were too scary. The moment the two of them confronted each other, Yu Yue was frightened, and everything after that was led by her sister. ." Su Zhen analyzed seriously.

"It doesn't matter, just cut off the blood oath before that." Xia Ru's words were sharp.

The sister's identity has been confirmed, and she is Lu Zhaiyuan, the number one master from thousands of years ago. In addition, she also has an additional identity: the descendant of the Witch King who defeated the Four Divine Craftsmen.

"That, that's..."

"What about you?" Xia Ru turned her eyes to Su Zhen and asked with a faint smile.

They saw the figure clearly.

This woman is Xia Ru.

After finishing the story stumblingly, the girl added a disclaimer in a low voice: "I don't remember it very clearly. I may have said something wrong, so be careful."

As for Yu Yue.

Shao Xiaoxiao took a few deep breaths, and after she felt calmer, she spoke very softly and roughly talked about some of the things she remembered.

The woman was wearing a slightly off-shoulder red knitted skirt with a long hem that hugged her hips. She was wearing a black suit, and her slender legs were wrapped in stockings with letters printed on them. Below were a pair of red high heels. The ultra-thin heels sparkle. She closed her eyes quietly, her beautiful face falling into a deep sleep.

Miao's grandmother once told him that a craftsman who is strong enough has the ability to sew the soul into a hurricane. When he was hospitalized in a community clinic, Shao Xiaoxiao gave him a collection of poems. Yu Yue loved reading poetry in his spare time, and he was still in one of them. The page was bookmarked, and Su Zhen opened it and read it, still remembering the passage of the poem:
"In the most sacred storm, the prison walls that imprisoned me collapsed, and my soul soared more vigorously and freely in a strange place."

"Well...senior sister, Yu Yue..."

Of course, there is still a doubt:
Why does Yu Yue lack memory of the innate Zhi Lao Yuanjun?

A familiar woman floated in the light.

Su Zhen didn't ask any further questions. He sorted through the information he had just received in his mind.

'Is it the Three Wisdom Bodhisattva? '

Xijingguo's two souls are of the same body. They have been born and died, and the two have already had a tacit understanding.

An overwhelming gray-white fog.

The moment he saw the figure clearly, not to mention Shao Xiaoxiao, even Su Zhen, who had been practicing in Xijingguo for so long, couldn't help but stand on end.

If you look closely, you will find that this so-called fog is actually light. These lights seem to have died long ago, flying in the air like dust, spreading over the eyes and hair, engulfing people little by little. This light lens vaguely outlines a figure, a graceful figure.

"When Yu Yue figures this out, it's time to come back." Su Zhen sighed.

"It makes some sense."

Xia Ru walked into the bronze door calmly, and then Su Zhen took Shao Xiaoxiao's hand and stepped into the door filled with gray mist.

"Come with me."

While Su Zhen was thinking, heavy fog suddenly filled the front.

"How can the blood oath be broken?" Su Zhen was puzzled.

"You'll know later." Xia Ru finally gave up.

According to Grandma Miao, forgetfulness is a disease of mortals. Even when a powerful cultivator reaches his twilight years, he can still clearly recall all the details of his infancy. Yu Yue, as the once most supreme four-year-old who created civilization, Why does one of the gods suffer from "amnesia"?
Is it just because of the unstoppable power of time?

"Teacher Xia?!"

Shao Xiaoxiao half-opened his mouth and looked at the person floating in the light in disbelief.

How come there are two Xia Ru? !
If this person is Xia Ru, then who is the person talking to them?

For a moment, both Su Zhen and Shao Xiaoxiao acted as if they were facing a formidable enemy, fearing that this person was Yu Yue pretending to deceive them.

Only Xia Ru didn't panic at all. She looked back and smiled and said, "I've warned you, don't be scared."

Xia Ru walked forward with a smile on her face.

Under the gazes of Su Zhen and Shao Xiaoxiao, she actually walked directly into this body and merged with it.

The body in the light comes alive.

Xia Ru, who looked like a new man, stretched her body gently, folded her hands behind her neck, tied her long hair with the hair rope at her wrist, and said with a smile:
"My own is the most comfortable to use."

She walked gently to the two of them and gently separated their clasped hands. She held Shao Xiaoxiao and Su Zhen at the same time, leading them into the source of light. She said:

"Come with the teacher, the teacher will take you to see... the real world."

The light spreads out like a curtain of water.

The world really lit up.

A long asphalt road appeared under their feet. This road seemed to be built in the desert. They felt that the wind blowing on them was dry and had a rough texture like sand. The road winds forward like a long snake, as if it will never end, with vast deserted sand dunes on both sides.

How could there be such a space inside Jiuxiang Mountain?

Logical thinking collapsed in my mind, and everything in front of me could only be explained by miracles.

"Teacher Xia, what's going on? Why do you have two bodies?" Su Zhen couldn't help but ask.

"Because real flesh and blood cannot enter Nantang." Xia Ru explained calmly.

"What did you say?"

Su Zhen and Shao Xiaoxiao looked at each other and saw the chill in each other's eyes.

If flesh and blood cannot enter Nantang, then what are they?
"Stop talking. The Bodhisattva is right in front. Keep a pious heart." Xia Ru's voice became softer.

As she said, after walking for a while, a statue of a human figure stood in the sky in front of her.

The figure is sitting cross-legged in the void. It is not tall, but rather petite. She has long hair and looks like a girl. She turned her back to them, and gray lines connecting to the sky appeared on her back, like slender and transparent infusion tubes, or like smooth and slender umbilical cords.

As the legend goes, the Bodhisattva has three hands.

One of the three hands pointed at the sky, the other pointed at the earth, and the other bloated and deformed arm grew out from behind the shoulder, pointing at the netherworld behind him.

Different from the legend, this Bodhisattva was neither wearing a jewel-encrusted cassock nor any other decorations. She was actually wearing a school uniform.

Going around the Bodhisattva's body and coming to her front, Su Zhen saw clearly her pretty face carved with pink and jade. Just as he expected, this legendary Bodhisattva of Three Wisdoms was none other than her sister Su Qingjia.

Her disappeared body was actually enshrined here.

Su Qingjia closed her eyes and remained motionless. She was truly as majestic as a Bodhisattva, as if she had already sat here.

Xia Ru knelt and sat in front of the Bodhisattva statue, clasping his hands together and praying.

After Su Zhen and Shao Xiaoxiao looked at each other, they followed Xia Ru's example and knelt down in front of the statue of the Bodhisattva that looked like her sister, closing her palms and eyes.

It was as if a Buddhist bell was ringing in a distant place, and the majestic sound resounded in everyone's hearts.

----

Yu Yue sat on a rock, looking at the washing of night, gently stroking the rock with her fingertips, feeling its rugged texture, thoughtfully.

The heavy rain just now was so powerful that it seemed to swallow up the entire world, but it failed to blunt the edges of the stone.

Lu Qi knelt down quietly and sat aside, her face was quiet and beautiful, her hair was falling, and she had returned to peace.

She didn't know what she was waiting for in the remaining months, but she knew she was waiting for death. To Lu Qi, the silence at this moment was more like the silent humiliation before execution.

"Lu Qi, I can save you, do you want to?" Yu Yue said suddenly.

Lu Qi remained motionless, not even a hint of strange color flashed in her eyes.

"Do you think I'm lying to you?" Yu Yue asked.

"All the way from Miaoyan Palace, I seemed to be toying with you, but the truth is exactly the opposite. You are so powerful that you can't even deal with the curse of the old craftsman and Lord Zaixi. I am also useful to you. What's the use? Killing people and saving people all depends on your thoughts. I've already been completely defeated. How can I still be qualified to decide my fate?" Lu Qi said softly.

She no longer thought about blessings, honors and disgrace, and her heart was at peace.

"It would be unlike you to give up like this." Yu Yue looked at her with interest.

"There are many women like Zhu Mo in Xijing Kingdom. They try their best to package themselves, take beautiful names, wear precious gold and silver, and make up some stories that cater to the world's taste, so as to attract the attention of the superiors and wait for the price. And Gu. I once thought that I was different from them."

Lu Qi lowered her jade head, with a bitter smile on her lips. She sighed: "What's the difference? I tried my best to get to where I am today and became the helmsman of one of the Thirty-two Palaces. In the end, wasn't it true that I was also beaten by you guys?" Do the strong men play and trample for fun? Unless one day, I become the most supreme person in the entire Xijing Kingdom, otherwise I can only live in precarious days. What does this have to do with a woman who lives in the palace and has no control over her life? What’s the difference?”

"Lu Qi, you are thinking too much. I have no interest in trampling on you." Yu Yue said lightly.

Lu Qi knew that this was saying that she was not qualified, so she did not refute, just smiled lightly.

She just knelt down quietly, waiting for the red-haired devil to show off.

I don’t know how much time passed.

"What are you waiting for?" Lu Qi asked.

"Wait until the sun lights up." Yu Yue said.

"Sun?" Lu Qi was confused.

"I almost forgot, it should be called Laojun." Yu Yue smiled mockingly.

After staying in Nantang for too long, many of her speaking habits have not changed. She even misses the computer in Su Zhen's bedroom. It still contains many movies and animation works that she has not had time to watch. She has to admit that during that time, She was very happy, the baby was born in a new world, everything was new and wonderful.

Unlike Su Qingjia, she will not indulge in this kind of joy, because she knows that she is not born for this.

"Tell me everything about Zaixi. As long as you give me an answer that satisfies me, I will let you go. You can also say nothing and just kneel until dawn and then be cut into pieces." Yu Yue said calmly. say.

"With your ability, you should be able to read all my memories." Lu Qi said.

"I've gone through your memories."

Yu Yue stared into Lu Qi's eyes, which were as sharp as daggers, able to reveal all secrets. "Memory cannot hold all information. I want to hear your opinion on it, the most personal opinion. In your heart, What on earth is it?”

----

Su Zhen closed her eyes and her body floated as lightly as nothing.

He tried to open his eyes.

The world before my eyes became clearer.

The road and the sand dunes have disappeared, leaving only the sister who has transformed into a Bodhisattva, sitting in the void, pointing to the three realms. The world around her was no longer empty, it was filled with demons.

Su Zhen found that he seemed to be in a huge mountain cavity, surrounded by square and tall stone walls, with obvious traces of man-made excavations.

The stone wall formed a huge cage, and the ferocious group of demons roared along the stone wall like the wind. They kept hitting the mountain, making shrill roars, trying to rush out.

The largest monster among them hovered on a stone pillar, motionless, and seemed to be resting.

The moth's scaly wings covered its rugged white body, and the flesh and blood was wrapped inside the bones, as soft as a slug. Two long strips of flesh and blood penetrated the white bones and intertwined on the head, forming a tangled skull. They were two strange, smiling faces.

It looked very familiar, it should be the phantom that flashed across the clouds on that rainy day.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Su Zhen would never have been able to imagine that there were such weird and bizarre beings in the world.

Under the stone wall, many people gathered.

They were deformed monsters. Their bodies were very short, and they had rhinoceros-like horns on their foreheads. The horns looked very heavy, bending their necks. They crawled on the ground semi-prostrate, gnawing. Crystal clear pieces of meat.

Such crystal-clear pieces of meat are everywhere. They are spread throughout this vast space, forming unimaginably huge mountains of meat. There is a colorful light belt in the center of the meat mountains. At first glance, it seems to be some kind of ancient creature. Vertical pupils, if you look closely, there is a crack.

Brilliant cracks.

The cracks were squirming like a living thing, and something was trying hard to get out from inside.

'This should be the crack created by Lu Zhaiyuan's ascension. The monster climbed in along the crack, but was trapped here and could not get out. These people should be the iron-headed boys in the legend of Watou Village. They mutated due to Tai Sui. , formed a brand new race, which continues to this day under the dark mountains. '

Su Zhen understands everything around him with his own knowledge.

It turns out that the so-called Near Night Country refers to the world at the bottom of Jiuxiang Mountain.

It was sealed off by my sister, so I couldn't enter it directly. I had to pay homage to the statue before I could see it.

"Su Zhen, keep going up."

Xia Ru's voice rang in his ears. She was holding Shao Xiaoxiao's hand and floating in the void.

At this moment, they are three out-of-body souls.

"up?"

As soon as this idea came up, his soul floated up as if it had received instructions. He easily penetrated the thick mountain and arrived outside Jiuxiang Mountain.

The mountains are beneath him, and so is Nantang.

He saw Nantang, a completely different Nantang.

He thought of that recurring nightmare.

In the nightmare, he was floating in a world as boundless as sea water, surrounded by densely packed corpses. Through the blue water swaying with light, he could see his sister's flower-like face, floating in the aqua blue sky. Give him a gentle smile.

He saw Nantang in his dream, Nantang submerged by floods.

All the bodies were soaked in water and had not decomposed. They closed their eyes, clasped their hands on their chests, and drifted through the frozen time. Their peaceful faces seemed to be in deep sleep.

"This, this is..."

Su Zhen felt unable to breathe. He asked softly: "Is this a dream?"

"No, this is the truth. What you were in in the past was a dream. It was a dream that Xiaojia carefully weaved for all of you." Xia Ru said.

"How is this possible?" Su Zhen couldn't believe it.

"What's impossible?"

Xia Ru smiled and spoke softly, as if she was afraid of blowing away the dust: "You must be curious about why, in terms of age, I am only a junior in college, but I can come to the school to intern and teach, and I teach very well."

Before Su Zhen could answer, Xia Ru said to herself: "Because it's already 2015 in the outside world. I graduated a long time ago. I work in a very famous school and am a gold medal teacher. You are lagging behind. There are many versions.”

"2015? Teacher Xia...you, what are you talking about?"

Su Zhen felt as if his brain was exploding. He asked in a trembling voice: "You mean, our world is fake? We have died a long time ago and we are just living in a dream? This...how is this possible?"

"Is it impossible?"

Xia Ru smiled softly and said, "If you think about it carefully, you might be able to find the answer yourself."

Su Zhen couldn't believe it, but the moment he received this information, countless details came to his mind.

When he signed the contract with Yu Yue, he said "I will make a contract with you with my soul" instead of with words like my life. Later, when he met Grandma Miao, grandma felt very strange when she saw him at first sight. I wonder why your soul is so weak, like a lonely ghost.

At that time, Su Zhen only thought that he was weak and did not take these words to heart.

Later, he saw the strange "lost soul syndrome". How could a perfectly good person of flesh and blood suffer from such a strange disease? It was not a collapse of flesh and blood at all, but more like a loss of soul.

While communicating with Xia Ru, he was surprised to find that he could never remember how he was saved from the flood nine years ago.

Also, Su Zhen has never been able to figure out one thing - why if he practices soul skills in another world, his body in this world will become strong and strong.

If he only has a soul, all this seems to be explained!

The strength of flesh and blood relies on exercise, and his strength relies on the practice of soul arts.

All the strange things he had experienced seemed to have come to an end at this moment.

But, but...

How is this possible?
How could everything vivid in his memory of Nantang, where he grew up, be fake?
When he was practicing soul arts, he recalled the past events countless times. They passed through his mind again, but they were like paper soaked in water, so fragile and transparent that they could be easily punctured.

The wind swept through the lifeless Nantang, lingering and sobbing over Jiuxiang Mountain.

Whimpering in his ear.

It's like crying for the dead.

He remembered the last discussion he had with Xia Ru about the truth and falsehood of the world that ended in failure.

He realized belatedly that Xia Ru already knew the truth, but the situation was urgent and she didn't want this terrible truth to disturb his mind, so she hid it temporarily.

There is no difference between true and false, everything has already been determined.

"When I first came to this world, I was as surprised as you."

Xia Ruran sighed deeply, and her words seemed to penetrate a long time. She said: "Xiaojia is the Three Wisdom Bodhisattva. She is in the Jiuxiang Mountain, connecting the three realms. One is the real world, and the other is the West View Country. , and the other is the Nantang that you are in, which has actually been destroyed long ago. Su Zhen, Xiaoxiao, you have always been in the endless netherworld."
