Kaifeng Monster

Chapter 57
Basically, there is nothing wrong with it, except that it makes him feel uncomfortable.

He has been uncomfortable for many years, and he doesn't want to see others living comfortably, acting smoothly, and playing some self-righteous tricks under his nose.

So, he spoke in due course.

"So, Shangxian is willing to form an alliance with me?"

"Alliance?" Duanmucui thought it was funny, "I'm just watching from the sidelines, I don't see what I see."

"Between black and white in the human world, there may be a large barren land for the immortal to choose from, but where the immortal world and the demonic world confront each other, there is no place to stand wisely and avoid wading into the muddy water. The immortal is both a demon and a heart You have become a demon, what are you talking about, watching from the sidelines, seeing is pure if you don’t see it?"

Zhan Zhao was silent, and from the corner of his eyes, he saw Duanmucui's body trembling for a moment, but soon tensed again, his back was as straight as an unshakable pine.

"You're right." Duanmucui said calmly, "Since I have decided not to interfere in this matter today, my Dao heart has already fallen into the demon way, and there is no point in being a fairy."

After a pause, he laughed at himself and said, "What's more, I don't have any Dao heart."

The voice was very soft, but Wen Gu Weiyu seemed to be shocked.For a moment, an indescribable joy slowly overflowed from all limbs and bones. The blazing heat around the seal was overwhelming, but it only made him feel warm.

"You finally discovered this." Even he didn't realize it, his voice had already softened, "Shangxian, I'm really afraid that you have forgotten your true colors during the long years in Yingzhou, and those who embraced Taoism Like the people who are self-cultivation who boasted in the ancient books, they are as sour and hideous as they live. The reason why I have always insisted that I can win you is because I know what kind of person you are. Then, Shangxian, are you willing to fight with me? Aligned?"

"It doesn't matter." Duanmucui's voice relaxed, "You know, I'm not keen."

Wen Guwei smiled: "Your posture is more and more like your original temperament. The world pays attention to blood for alliance, why don't we follow suit?"

Duanmucui raised his eyelids slightly, and glanced at the direction Wen Guweiyu pointed seemingly inadvertently.

In fact, even if she didn't look at it, she knew he was referring to Zhan Zhao.

"There are so many monsters in the Underworld, you can choose any one, why must you sacrifice Zhan Zhao?" Duanmucui's tone was not very tough.

"That's because, here and now, the two of us have become monsters, monsters have become monsters, and Zhan Zhao may be the only clean, upright and kind thing at the moment. Although I hate these things."

Wen Guweiyu actually said so.

A shameless person may be very shameless, but that doesn't mean he doesn't have a ruler of conscience in his heart - the only difference is that the ruler is never attached to his behavior, the value is like an antique, rubbed in the palm of his hand in his spare time, and then Shelved.

Wen Guweiyu's sudden recognition of Zhan Zhao seems to have benefited Duanmucui, as if he was not praising Zhan Zhao, but himself.

"I think so too." Duanmucui smiled very nicely, and there was a kind of gentleness in his eyes.It was the first time for her to agree with Wen Gu Weiyu from the bottom of her heart, but her eyes soon dimmed.

"It's just that I can't bear to do it."

"Why bother the Immortal?" Wen Guweiyu showed gentlemanly consideration and volunteered in a ignorant manner, "If the Immortal doesn't mind, I am willing to do it for you."

Duanmucui didn't answer, but turned her body slightly—it was like giving up a broad road for Wen Guwei, Yu Zhi, and Zhan Zhao's life.

Zhan Zhao suddenly spoke.

"Duanmu, I want to say a few words to you."

Wen Guwei frowned, his displeasure clearly written on his face.

Duanmucui smiled apologetically at Wen Guweiyu, and said softly: "The condemned prisoners are given wine and meat before they go on the road, so let him say a few words."

It makes sense, and even Wen Guweiyu can't refute anything.

What's more, Duanmucui's eyes and tone were gentle enough, with a cautiousness like asking for instructions, which made him a little bit smug, so that he overwhelmed the ever-growing doubts about Duanmucui's abnormal behavior deep in his heart.

Zhan Zhao took two steps forward and stopped very close to Duanmucui, perhaps too close, forcing Duanmucui to look up at him.

They had never looked at each other so seriously, even though they knew each other well enough that they could picture each other with their eyes closed.Today's appearance is actually the same as usual, maybe even quieter and more peaceful, and Zhan Zhao's somewhat turbulent and uneasy mood gradually calms down because of this quietness.Duanmucui's eyes were very clear, there was no flinching or apology, but a magnanimous clarity, which seemed to pave a straight road leading straight to his heart.

Zhan Zhao smiled, and the words he wanted to say suddenly fell away like pale foam, light and weightless.

After a long pause, he slowly lowered his head and whispered in Duanmucui's ear: "Duanmu, I will leave the rest to you."

Duanmucui gave a very low hum, and said in a whisper: "Aren't you afraid that the entrusted person is not human?"

"how come?"

The words are still in the ear, but the figure has already retreated, the warmth brought by Zhan Zhao when he bowed his head still remains on his cheek, or is it a trance hallucination?
When he looked up, there was still a faint smile on Zhan Zhao's lips.

Even though she had a countermeasure in mind, Duanmucui's eyes were still clouded with tears, she gritted her teeth and turned around decisively.

Wen Guwei passed behind her like a sudden wind.

When passing by each other, the icy wind edge is like a blade, and the icy coolness instantly freezes every inch of skin, and the huge horror almost tears the heart apart. Duanmucui suddenly lost control and cried: "Wen Gu Wei Yu, leave his whole body!"

What responded to her was the cold and cruel sound of her neck breaking.

Duanmucui's vision quickly blurred, and she saw the figure that was so familiar softened, and then fell to the ground with a muffled sound.

Duanmucui froze on the spot, and in an instant, she felt that it wasn't Zhan Zhao's neck that was broken, but her own.Breathing began to be short and difficult, and the consciousness turned into chaos and confusion. Wen Guweiyu's voice was erratic, as if it came from the farthest sky: "Shangxian, now there is a contract between us."

Duanmucui pursed her lips, and she didn't know when tears flowed all over her face. Suddenly, she seemed to realize something, and tremblingly walked towards the place where Zhan Zhao fell.

Wen Guweiyu stretched out his hand to stop her: "Why bother to hurt yourself?"

There was a snap, a loud enough slap.

Wen Guwei smiled wryly while stroking his hot cheeks, and looked down to see Duanmu Cui weeping on top of Zhan Zhao's body.

As a woman, that's how it is, Wen Gu Weiyu was relieved, but at the same time felt a little contemptuous: she herself agreed to sacrifice Zhan Zhao, but when Zhan Zhao really died, she was also the one who felt sad.

Is it okay to cry once?
No matter what, if Zhan Zhao's thorn is pulled out and her thoughts are cut off, maybe she won't play any other tricks anymore.

Thinking of this, a sense of complacency gradually surged in my heart.

However, Duanmucui cried so miserably that it made him feel pity.

"Shangxian, why bother..." Wen Guweiyu sighed, and couldn't help stroking Duanmucui's hair.Duanmucui didn't seem to think it was disobedient, which made Wen Gu Weiyu bolder, slowly bent down, and slowly slid his hand to her waist, and with a little force with the other hand, he lifted Duanmucui's chin .

Her eyes were full of tears, and the tears covered something deep in her eyes, which made her look doubly pitiful.

Wen Gu Weiyu seemed to be in a trance, he folded his arms slightly, and hugged Duanmucui into his arms.

Duanmucui did not resist, which somewhat disappointed him.

He didn't want her to be a chaste woman, otherwise how would she forget about Zhuchang or Zhan Zhao?But she was so tame that he let him down.

This kind of conquest was too dull, and the beauty in his arms also lost its original taste.

"You..." As soon as the words came out, there was a sharp pain in my heart.

There was a burst of numbness in the heart, this numbness was like a long worm, wriggling from the heart to the limbs, gnawing inch by inch, forming cocoons everywhere, the consciousness of the limbs gradually lost, unable to move for half a minute, leaving the consciousness exceptionally clear.

"The heart-locking finger..." Wen Guwei wanted to smile, but the muscles on his face were completely stiff, and the voice from the bottom of his throat seemed very strange, "Did you use the heart-locking finger?"

"You're too much of a hindrance." Duanmucui stood up coldly, with tears still on her face, "I just sent Li Ji to purgatory the day before yesterday. I don't know if there is a place more suitable for you than purgatory."

"So, you just acted for me?" Even though he had expected it, Wen Gu Weiyu couldn't help sighing in his heart, "You cried so badly, I was actually deceived by you."

"The tears are real, and they are for Zhan Zhao." Duanmucui's voice trembled uncontrollably, and his eyes quickly glanced at Zhan Zhao's body, "Zhan Zhao died here today, and I will not escape after repairing the Nuwa seal. God. Fortunately, Locking Heart Finger will restrain you until the people from Yingzhou find out here. At that time, I hope that the latecomers will punish you well, and give me and Zhan Zhao an explanation."

"We formed an alliance with blood, Shangxian." Wen Guweiyu did not hide his disappointment, "You violated the alliance so quickly?"

"Don't mention Zhan Zhao to me again, you are not worthy."

"So, Zhan Zhao is just a tool you use to sacrifice to lure me? Shangxian's heartlessness is really beyond my imagination."

Duanmucui's gaze was in a daze for a moment, then slowly turned to face the stone platform.

"I think Zhan Zhao won't object to me doing this."

A barely audible sigh escaped from the bottom of Wen Guweiyu's throat.

In this seemingly absent sigh, Duanmucui's figure lightly lifted up, wading into the blazing flames.

The blazing flames soaring into the sky instantly expanded, and the entire wall of the dome was as red as blood, and the shadow of Duanmucui was immediately blurred in the intense blazing flames.Wen Gu Weiyu narrowed his eyes, following the looming figure of Duanmucui playfully.He suddenly felt that Duanmucui was like a butterfly flying into the sea, and was soon drawn into the chaos of the storm.

When the flames subsided, he saw the slender figure of Duanmu Cui standing on the edge of the stone platform, his lavender robes were so inflated by the true energy that he was about to fly away, but he was as enthusiastic as a blazing flame.

And the Nvwa seal, which was full of hostility, gradually turned from black to crimson.

Wen Gu Weiyu suddenly felt that he was bored.

His ancestors had warned him a long time ago that if he wanted to engage in blood-forged alliances, he would not conspire against each other if they had different ways.

It can't be used for me, and it's useless to keep it.

When Duanmucui turned her head, Wen Guweiyu looked proudly at her pale in an instant.

good, very good.

Wen Guwei Yuzuo thought so, standing on the edge of the stone platform precariously, and then smoothed his lapel slowly.

The blazing flames caused a heat wave, and the hem of the clothes was smoothed and wrinkled again - he didn't need to do anything extra, but he still did it deliberately, and he was not afraid that Duanmucui would see through his deliberation.He just wanted her to understand that he had been on guard for a long time, and the heart-locking finger could not do anything to him, he moved freely, and her painstaking arrangement of heart-breaking and flesh-cutting proved to be nothing but flowing water.

"Zhan Zhao died unjustly." Wen Gu Weiyu smiled apologetically, "But you don't have to take it too seriously, everyone is going to die. It's more important than Mount Tai, or lighter than a feather. I remember before you left Yingzhou Tell the elders that a person is mortal, the heaviest is Mount Tai, and the lightest is freezing to death, you can rest assured now that you will not be frozen to death, you will be burned to death."

Duanmucui smiled miserably, and said hoarsely, "Why?"

"It's because you took me too lightly, thinking that you could fool me with a little trick. You're cruel enough to think of a way to sacrifice Zhan Zhao's life, but you're also stupid enough—you're smart in everything, and you only This matter is so stupid." Wen Gu Weiyu's face returned to the usual sternness, "Don't you think that I, Wen Gu Weiyu, just like the gods in Yingzhou, think that I, Wen Gu Weiyu, is just an insignificant official of classics?"

"I'm not asking this." Duanmucui's voice was very soft, "I just want to ask you, what is wrong with you in Yingzhou, why did you go out of Yingzhou and do such an outrageous thing?"

Wen Gu Weiyu narrowed his eyes slightly, and his long and narrow eyes showed indifference and sarcasm: "I want to tell you too, but I'm afraid you don't have so much time—if I accidentally flick you like this, With the flames together, you will be burned to ashes..."

Speaking of this, he suddenly stared at Duanmucui: "And I have always been so careless."

So, he really "accidentally" stretched out his hand.

The flames rose so quickly that before he had time to withdraw his hand, all that caught his eyes was crimson red.

Duanmucui could no longer be seen, she was completely enveloped in flames—perhaps, she had already turned into green smoke.How can the flesh and bones of a mortal be able to withstand the licking of the blazing flames?
Thinking of this, Wen Gu Weiyu raised his head to look at the high place. He didn't know whether it was an illusion or something else. He really felt that he saw the green smoke rising like a tulle, which was so fragile and soft, and was instantly washed away by the heat wave. without a trace.

This scene suddenly burned his eyes.

"I don't want to be like this either." Wen Guwei sighed and murmured, "I gave you a chance, when you used your heart-locking finger to deal with me, how did you ever soften your hand? After wasting so many years, I treat you differently..."

Amidst the murmurs, Blazing flames neighed and crouched down, out of the corner of his eyes, Wen Guwei's back tightened, and he raised his head abruptly.

Duanmucui was still there, standing firmly on the edge of the opposite stone platform.She was already in a state of distress, her clothes were scorched black, the hair hanging around her cheeks was also scorched and curled, her lips were already dry and cracked, and there were very thin threads of blood slowly oozing from the cracks.

Wen Guweiyu quickly understood: "You put Cangjie clothes on yourself?"

"Cangjie Ziyi can block two flaming attacks. As long as you don't be so careless, I should still have time to listen to your explanation before I die."

Duanmucui's voice sounded quite weird, hoarse and low, with an uncomfortable mockery.Wen Guwei was stunned first, then suddenly understood: Duanmucui's throat has been burned.

An indescribable sadness suddenly captured his whole body, he closed his eyes, forced to suppress the sudden upsurge of sorrow, and then said after a pause: "It's not what you think, Ying Zhou didn't let me down."

"I just want to die knowingly."

"You...shut up!" Wen Guweiyu himself didn't expect to lose his composure like this, so he paused and said, "You'd better not talk...I'm just...not reconciled...

"I was originally a son of a gentry, with a high and broad lintel, a group of servants, rich clothes and fine food, and no desire for worldly glory. I devoted myself to searching for fairy caves, disregarding my family's strictness, anger, and begging for kindness.

"I don't know how many years of hard training and trials, the cold and heat passed by in a flash, and the relatives withered away. Suddenly, one day, I flew lightly and got to Yingzhou.

"In terms of ranking, they are the most inferior. In the past, they were ordinary and did not do anything gross. Today, they become immortals, but they have become low-level officials who are called around by others, doing some lowly work of sweeping and serving."
