Chapter 11

"Tianzheng, be careful!" Seeing that his friend was still in a trance, Nangong Mo couldn't help but remind him sharply. At the same time, he waved his sword to fend off the attacking zombies for him, and whispered hurriedly, "It seems that there is no way...wait a while If there is time, let's kill her together!"

Ye Tianzheng glanced at his friend with a pale face, remained silent, just raised his sword and made a sharp move, beheading the zombies who were approaching by the sword, and rushed towards the girl's shoulders.

Nangong Mo was also in a trance, and subconsciously drew out his sword, matching Tianzheng's swordsmanship - such a combination of two swords, they had already practiced thousands of times in their childhood.He just felt that the ten-foot road leading to Jianyu was terrifyingly long.The faces of the surrounding zombies rushed up one by one, and one after another fell down wailing. In the end, he didn't care whether the other party was an acquaintance or whether he should show mercy. He just used the most powerful killing move to kill those people. Hack and kill.

Ye Tianzheng was on his left, also beheading the zombies who were his subordinates with a pale face—since Yuxiao died and the moment the girl told the truth many years ago, he never said a word.

Nangong Mo was in a state of confusion on the way to the fight, but he also knew that his best friend's face was wrong, and he was not afraid of being hurt by zombies at all, but rushed forward desperately, as if he couldn't wait to return to his sister's side - like going to die like that The look on his face gave Nangong Mo a vague premonition.He could only do his best to fend off those zombies by Ye Tianzheng's side, and braved the blood rain with him.

The girl sat on her shoulders with a livid face, biting her lower lip with her small teeth, staring fixedly at the chaotic and bloody scene in front of her.Fingers slowly clenched the piccolo, the other hand suddenly plunged into the clay pot, and when it was pulled out, the fingertips had pinched two crimson Gu.To kill her?In this world, who else can kill her now!Even Yun Xi is no match for her!
However, looking at the two youths who came to kill desperately with swords in the dark, the little hand with bare bones trembled slightly.

Zombies rushed up and fell down row by row, and the two white and green clothes were all splashed with strange purple-black blood.Ye Tianzheng's cheeks were also splattered with the blood of zombies, making his face even paler.

However, he held the sword, but he continued to kill without hesitation, and his eyes were faintly burning with despair.If it wasn't for Nangong Mo who kept defending him from the attacks around him, he would have fallen before he could run ten feet away from his shoulder.

It's getting closer, it's getting closer... the moment the siblings could see the expressions on each other's faces, the girl's hand holding the illusion trembled, and suddenly understood the meaning of her brother's gaze—he wanted to die. It's gone... He doesn't care, he just wants to die with her!
Eight years ago, he failed to bring her out of the fire pit; eight years later, he was going to return to hell with her!

The fighting around is still going on, but the voice has gradually weakened. Most of the people in the Sword Trial Villa have been captured or bitten, and have become new tamed black sheep. This bloody battle has been victorious from the very beginning. Negative clearly.

The girl looked at the faces of the two young men who were getting closer, and saw the intense and complicated emotions on the familiar faces. She raised her head slightly—the fingers were lightly clasped, aiming at the neck of the comer.On the fingertips that exposed the bones, the two phantom Gu seemed to feel the approach of the flesh and blood of the living beings, and twisted just about to move.

Two sharp swords whizzed through the air, and at the same time, the little fingers were full of momentum.

The final end is but a moment—either she turns the disobedient into black sheep, or she, the shepherd, is destroyed.No matter what the ending is, she has been looking forward to it for ten years.

No matter what means she used, what she wanted was actually an end.

The sound of fighting has weakened, and the long night is long, only the wind is dancing on this bloody field.Amidst the intermittent groans, a vague cry was suddenly heard, cutting through the long night: "Brother! Brother!"

Such an ordinary voice aroused strange vibrations in the hearts of the three of them, and their eyes turned like lightning.

Under the dim light of the fire, one could vaguely see a young man who looked like a farmer swinging his sword desperately, trying to pull back his sister who was surrounded by zombies.But the girl screamed terribly, but there was already a wound on her neck that was penetrated by the phantom Gu, and her eyes had already started to cloud.The moment her brother grabbed her, she suddenly opened her mouth and bit the other's arm, refusing to let go.The young farmer refused to let go of his sister, but let her bite, shouting her name desperately, trying to regain her sanity.

In the bloody corpses everywhere, I glanced past, but the look of blood and tears on the young farmer's face was engraved in my heart like a branding iron.The girl's brows twitched suddenly, her hand was raised like lightning, and the golden cord in her sleeve flew out, wrapping around the young farmer, pulling him and the girl back to the shoulders, and staggered to the ground.

At the same moment, because of her distraction, the two swords had pierced her side!

Although he knew that if he didn't kill at this time, the harm would be infinite in the future - but such rational words could not control Nangong Mo's heart. He only felt that the sword in his hand was heavy, and he slowed down before he stabbed three feet to the girl's side With the sword momentum.

The Miehun Sword was at a standstill, but the Zhuanpo Sword still pierced the girl's eyebrows with a stern light.Ye Tianzheng's hands didn't tremble at all, his face was as pale as death, and suddenly tears flowed down his eyes, flowing down his blood-spattered cheeks.

"Brother." At that moment, Ye Tianlai suddenly raised his face, looked up against the long sword, stared at Ye Tianzheng's eyes, blurted out a murmur, and stretched out his hand - but not to stop the stabbing man A sword, just touched the unconscious girl's neck, as if something jumped out from under the flesh and blood, pierced into her palm with a swish sound, and quickly snaked up.

"Tian Lai!" At that moment, an invisible barrier seemed to be erected suddenly, and the Zhuanpo Sword could no longer be pierced. Ye Tianzheng's face turned pale, and he suddenly dropped the sword, "Tian Lai!"

Nangong Mo didn't understand what happened, but saw his friend let go of the sword in a collapse, knelt down in front of his shoulders, stretched out his hands to hug the little red-clothed child, and called her name loudly .Those Illusory Gus flying around in the dark night suddenly changed direction, whizzed and gathered in the direction of the girl.

"I'll return your sister... to you, okay?" The girl's hand dropped, as if her anger had dissipated suddenly, she just smiled at the young farmer who had fallen to the ground, and suddenly raised her hand to push her away. After opening Ye Tianzheng, he leaned forward and stretched out his arms to meet something——

At that moment, the countless Gu worms flying back in the dark night all submerged into her tiny body!Drilling in like a moth to a flame, it goes retrograde along the blood to her heart.

"Tian Lai! Tian Lai!" Ye Tianzheng's face was as pale as death, and he struggled to rush forward.However, the pair of bluish-white, bruised little hands raised up and made a "stop" gesture.Blood slowly oozes out from under the red shirt, soaking through the girl's body—the body that has been drilled by countless phantoms is riddled with holes, the girl's eyes have a faint childlike stubbornness, looking at him, murmured: "No! ...Don't think that I can't kill you! ...If, if it wasn't for this pair of brothers and sisters..."

Just in the blink of an eye, the child who was blooming like a flame became fatigued.Ye Tianzheng felt as if thousands of knives were twisting between his heart and lungs, and suddenly wept bitterly, holding that small body tightly in his arms, as if afraid that she would disappear suddenly: "Yes, yes! You killed me Well... my brother will always be with you!"

"Brother..." As if the hug was about to suffocate her, the girl struggled for a while, her eyes became dizzy, but she showed a fleeting smile, stretched out her green and thin little hand, and hugged him slightly— —

She finally knew that her brother loved her... He had always cherished the only younger sister.Just now, the moment he stabbed with the sword, the expression of blood and tears on his face was exactly the same as the thick-browed and big-eyed farmer next to him!
One is the owner of the largest mountain villa in southern Xinjiang, and the other is just a humble guest; one wants to die, while the other wants to live—but whether it is the owner or the guest, whether it is a murderer or a rescuer, , the expression of despair and recklessness on his face is exactly the same!Only the fellowship where blood is thicker than water is exactly the same!

At the juncture of life and death, it is impossible to fake half a cent.

The girl in red suddenly smiled, and the evil spirit in her eyes disappeared like the mist in the morning.When she was dying, she quietly turned her head to the side, leaned her face on her brother's chest, and sighed: "If, if you were there at that time... Are you, are you like this brother, even if you die... you will not die... Let them take me away?"

"Mmm, um." Such a weak voice seemed to be interrupted anytime and anywhere, Ye Tianzheng's tears flowed down his face, he hugged his sister who was lost and recovered after eight years, and blurted out, "Yes, yes—— No matter what, I will definitely not let Moon Worship Sect take you away!"

"Ah...Actually, I came back this time...I just wanted to ask you this question..." The girl smiled, sighed contentedly, and looked tired, "Yun Xi always said that everyone except him Don't want me anymore... I don't believe him."

A joyful smile flashed across the child's face. That smile was a mixture of the innocence of a child and the charm of a woman, and it had a shocking beauty in the night.She leaned her head on his chest and murmured: "Even if I become like this, you and Nangong will still want me, won't you? In fact, although Dad sold me to Yun Xi, but... he , He felt very sad, didn’t he? So he died of illness soon..."

"What's the matter? What's the matter!" Nangong Mo didn't know why, but seeing Ye Tianlai's current situation, he knew it was ominous in his heart, and couldn't help but grab Ye Tianzheng, "What's wrong with Xiao Yezi?!"

"Nangong, you are such an idiot...Look." The girl smiled and raised her right hand slightly. The hole in her palm that was penetrated by the phantom has turned purple, as if being swallowed by something from the inside out. The muscles on the palm are gradually shrinking—not only this wound, but also all the wounds on the girl's body that were penetrated by the phantom gu, have horribly mutated!

"This is..." Nangong Mo still didn't understand, and turned to Ye Tianzheng, "What's going on!"

"Traveling zombies is a very insidious sorcery. Once the phantom Gu is released, it can never be taken back unless the owner dies. If it is taken back from the host, it will attack the caster," Ye Tianzheng said with a pale face. Death, replied dumbly under the fierce pushing and shoving of his best friend, "The Gu art here in southern Xinjiang is like this... Once it is released, it can't kill the other party, it will harm itself. There is no third way."

Nangong Mo staggered suddenly, feeling that his legs were weak, and knelt down next to his shoulders, holding the girl's cold hand, and said in a low voice, "Little Ye Zi!"

"Don't, don't touch me..." The girl's hand convulsed slightly, trying to pull it out, "Yes...it's poisonous...I took back those Gu, they want to eat my body. I just If, it's about to rot...it's ugly. Don't look at it. I...recovered all the illusion Gu. Brother Nangong, are you happy?"

"Little Ye Zi!" However, Nangong Mo tightly held the thin and terrifying little hand, ignoring the ulceration of the wound, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid——I'll take you back to Dingjiange! There Dr. Mo's medical skills are like a god, he can definitely cure you! Don't be afraid..."

"I'm not afraid... I'm really not afraid." In the dim vision, those manjusawa bloomed like flames, and the girl shook her head lightly, with a smile on her lips, "Brother and you are here...what am I?" I'm not afraid... these fires, these fires are coming from hell... I'm not afraid."

"Little Ye Zi, Little Ye Zi!" Sensing that her sanity had begun to slacken, Nangong Mo panicked and shook her shoulder desperately, calling her name, "Don't sleep, don't sleep over! I'm here to marry you , I’ll take you back to Dingjiange right now, I’ll be there soon! Don’t sleep!”

"I...I won't marry you...Smelly Nangong." The girl lay in her brother's arms, fell into a drowsy sleep, and murmured subconsciously, as if repeating what she said many years ago—but her tone changed , but the latter sentence is completely different, "I'm already... already married to Yun Xi - when he was under my blood curse, that guy could have killed me... but he didn't dare. Hee, he also , There are things I dare not..."

Such whispers full of pain and joy made the two people beside him stunned.

Ye Tianzheng raised his head to look at Nangong Mo, and he didn't know what kind of eyes he looked in—what kind of past events happened in that distant and mysterious moon palace in such a long time?When she was dying, when talking about the priest who took her away from the favor of all people, the expression on her brows was so complicated that she couldn't see the bottom line.

However, after being dazed for a while, as if something came to her mind suddenly, the girl's eyes suddenly opened, she looked at the person in front of her with a clear mind, and said hastily: "That's right! Brother, Nangong! Yunxi is about to come out... If I die, he will come out from the bottom of the lake! You, you have to be careful...he is very powerful, brother, you have to be careful..."

As if those few instructions had exhausted her remaining sanity, the girl's face turned blue again, and she muttered: "Burn me...you must burn me, burn me up...otherwise he will find I, let me be his puppet doll again... Please, burn me..."

Her tone gradually withered, only the wind was dancing in the night, those zombies suddenly seemed to lose their mind, they all stayed where they were, and began to fall into a deep sleep following the girl's coma.Only the manjusawa is still in full bloom, and the flowers on the tall flower stems are like a crown of flames, showing blood in the night like an iron curtain.

The brother and sister next to each other supported each other, staring blankly at this strange situation.The younger sister was frightened, and kept shrinking and hiding behind her brother. The young farmer also had a scared expression in his eyes, but he held back his knife and stood still, protecting his younger sister.

"Ah, brother, brother... Fire, fire is coming!" In the blurred vision, the last thing I saw was the ubiquitous flame-like jumping red, the girl faintly exclaimed, and tightly held Ye Tianzheng's hand. hands, and murmured dazedly, "The fire is coming!"

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid...Tian Lai, I'm here, my brother is here—don't be afraid." Ye Tianzheng lowered his head in a daze, holding the little hand that was getting cold, "Don't be afraid, those fires won't reach you... do not be afraid."

"Well... I'm not afraid."

His eyes were full of flames, just like the night when he had nowhere to go eight years ago, but the girl had a faint smile on her face, she tried her best to snuggle her pale face to him, and fell asleep quietly in his arms.His face was clear. ——It was the last and eternal peace in her chaotic and gloomy life.

Under the starless sky, Nangong Mo stood there quietly, watching the fire that Ye Tianzheng ignited in the night.

A piece of fiery red, tossing and rolling, was burning fiercely on the desolate land outside the Jianjian Villa, making a buzzing sound, as if evil spirits were howling in the fire... Those manzhushas all over the mountains and wild Hua, together with the master who created it, was burned, and turned into pieces of ashes and bloomed on the other side.

Looking at the red flowers all over the mountains, looking at the zombies who will recover after dawn, looking at Ye Tianzheng who is pale and throwing the torch into the battlements, he suddenly feels that he is superfluous... This story is intertwined with intense love and hate power, and he has always been just a bystander.

Perhaps, after today, all the dark, evil, and chaotic things will be burned away by a big fire—just like when the martial arts heroes easily took that 12-year-old girl out of the arena. Erasing the same thing: The eldest son of Dingjiange Nangong family and the owner of Luofu Jianjian Villa joined forces to fight against the invasion of the Moon Worship Sect, killed the Moon Worship Sect leader, and rescued hundreds of people from the control of the illusion——

That is another outstanding achievement for the Central Plains Wulin.

It's a pity that the second young lady of Jianjian Villa died unfortunately, and was unable to marry into Dingjiange again.

Will it be such a "big event" that will be circulated in the world in the future?

Nangong Mo suddenly felt a non-human trance, as if everything he experienced in front of him was not real.

Only the strand of hair on the palm of his hand, the strand of hair secretly cut from the head of the girl in red, will become the only memorial of all this, and will accompany him until death, just like the indelible tooth marks on his wrist.

The flames ignited fiercely in front of his eyes, as if the fire of the red lotus that burned the evil in the three realms, engulfed everything.
