How did Shen Tuwei escape from prison?
He still remembers that at that time, he was in deep chaos and was in danger. After a wisp of smoke passed, he was swept out of the prison wall, and then someone came, and it sounded like a woman. She said, "Only I can help you!" .”
—Only I can help you.
At that time, he didn't understand the meaning, but now, he suddenly understood.
Shentu Weichang knelt on the ground, his eyes staring at the tombstone gradually became cold.
The hands on the knees gradually tightened into fists, and the nerves that had been tense for a long time actually relaxed at this moment. This was the relief after making up his mind. He closed his eyes and took out a flower the size of a fingernail from his arms.
The whole body of flowers is crystal clear, and the flower lotus is tightly closed, shimmering like fireflies in the dark night.
This flower is called "Burning Heart Candle", the heart is ignited, and the fireworks worship the heavens.
His pale fingertips twirled the delicate and fragile flower stem, biting his fingertips hard, and the bright red blood dripped on the center of the flower, and that drop of bright red blood slowly blended with the transparent and colorless flower. The heart-burning candle of blood shone with a coquettish color, and the petals slowly unfolded under the silent moonlight.
extremely beautiful.
Shen Tuwei stared blankly, lost his mind.
However, in the next moment, white smoke was ignited from the flower heart, and the smoke swayed and entangled like life. When the strange flower in the palm was completely burned out, Shen Tuwei fell into a fantasy world woven by the vastness.
What he saw was the woman who appeared to rescue him that day.
The woman was wrapped in a black robe, her face could not be seen clearly, and her whole body was as erratic as the wisp of smoke before.
He carefully looked at her eyes, stood up, and said in a dumb voice after a moment of silence: "You said before, you can help me."
The other party approached two steps, and the voice could not be heard clearly: "Then let's see...whether you can accept the conditions I gave."
Everything has a price.
Shen Tuwei knew that there is no such thing as a free lunch, so he tensed his jaw line: "What conditions."
"Your body."
Shen Tuwei's eyebrows twitched fiercely.
In the mist, her voice was gentle and clear: "I can help you resist the winged soldiers and win this battle. After that, you will use this body for me."
Shen Tuwei looked skeptical: "You don't know where you came from, how can I trust you."
"You have nowhere to go, and you can only trust me." She said, "I will make a blood contract with you, and one party will break the contract, and the soul will be broken. You can also rest assured that I have no interest in these mortals in the world."
Shen Tuwei lowered his neck and did not answer directly, his nails were deeply embedded in his flesh.
The woman didn't press on and waited quietly for his answer.
At this moment, many thoughts appeared in his mind, including his father, husband, elder brother whose life and death were uncertain, and countless starving bones on the side of the road.
It was hard to breathe for a moment.
The feeling of powerlessness turned into pain, making every gasp hurt.
Shen Tuwei's lips and teeth trembled slightly, Qing Juan's face had lost its initial blood color. He closed his eyes, his throat was throbbing, and he heard himself say: "Okay."
If he can save the people from suffering, he is willing to give up a mere physical body.
**
Cloudy the next day
It is no longer suitable to stay in Yangqing Town for a long time, Yunwan and others are going to Wenxiantai to find clues. On the day of departure, Shen Tuwei came to visit early. He changed into a black outfit and a bamboo hat, not even an inch of skin was exposed.
It was Yun Wan who opened the door.
I didn't expect him to come so early, so I couldn't help being surprised.
Through the tightly covered black veil, she clearly felt Shen Tuwei's gaze, which was peaceful and focused.
"I came to say goodbye to the girl, thank you for your help in recent days, I will never forget it."
The young man's cold voice came from behind the bamboo hat, clear and shallow, with an unpretentious posture.
"You..." Yun Wan's voice paused slightly, "Are you leaving?"
"En." Shen Tuwei nodded, "If there is a chance next time, I will get to know you better."
"good."
But the two knew that the chances were slim.
Yun Wan stood in front of the threshold and watched that tall figure being swallowed by the lonely morning light in the distance, she didn't come back to her senses for a long time. Since cultivating immortals and entering Taoism, with the growth of his cultivation base, Yun Wan's sky eyes have gradually opened. Even without spiritual power, he can still see the faint black energy wrapped around the young man. This is an ominous sign.
In troubled times in the world, for a brave young general like Shen Tuwei, the ending is nothing but death in battle.
It was obvious that they just met by chance, but Yun Wan suddenly felt a little sad.
Facing the distance, he was in a daze, and a black shadow covered his shoulders. Out of the corner of her eye, Xie Tingyun's eyebrows and eyes were quiet, and she suddenly realized: "If Shen Tuwei dies, will you be implicated?"
He gave the answer without thinking: "No." From the moment he stripped the remnant soul from his body, there was no relationship between them, but...
He didn't want to kill him unless it was absolutely necessary.
Taking a deep breath, Xie Tingyun gently held Yun Wan's hand: "It's time to go."
Yun Wan nodded and turned to meet Liu Miaomiao.
Several people went straight to ask Sendai.
Ask that Sendai was built in Yandu City.
In order to build Xiantai, Emperor Yi forcibly demolished all the houses within more than three hundred miles, leaving countless people homeless. When a few people arrived, they found that half of the construction of Xiantai had been completed. There were men and women among the laborers. The oldest was already seventy years old;
To avoid being discovered, the four of them deliberately covered their breath with spells. They hid in a high place and had a panoramic view of the scenery below them.
The red sun is scorching, and the high altitude is like an endless mirror of fire, covering the top of the head, and everything is almost on fire. Even in such extremely hot weather, Ding Ding did not dare to stop, as soon as the wet and salty sweat fell to the ground, it was immediately scorched clean.
No one spoke, and there was no rhythmic banging of iron tools all around.
Suddenly, someone fainted due to excessive lack of water. The sand bucket carried on his shoulders was overturned and fell to the ground, and most of the sand and stones contained in it were scattered.
The one who fainted was a bare-chested and skinny old man. Just as the two young men passing by wanted to give him a hand, he saw the supervisor not far away striding towards him. sand.
"stand up!"
The supervisor swung his long whip mercilessly, and the old man's chapped skin instantly burst into flesh and blood.
"Don't be lazy, get up and work! Don't you want to die?!"
The supervisor beat and scolded at the same time, and the old man lay on the ground without making a sound for a long time. Impatient to continue yelling and cursing, the supervisor raised his foot and kicked him hard, turning his body over forcibly.
The old man didn't open his eyes, he was already dead.
"Unlucky." He groaned, and without letting anyone come to collect the corpse, he directly put the corpse into the gap between the platform and the platform, his movements were skillful and natural, as insensitive as handling an animal.
There was complete silence all around, and everyone looked at him with strong hatred in their eyes. The supervisor waved his whip in vain, and shouted loudly: "Whatever you look at, give me an honest job!"
"I tell you not to be lazy, none of you will live until this month is over!"
Everyone trembled, lowered their heads and continued to repeat the heavy work on their hands.
Seeing this, Yun Wan felt hatred in her heart, her fists itching, she couldn't hold back her breath for a long time, she had an idea, and quietly ordered Xuan Ling: [Get rid of him. ]
Xuanling understood immediately, and released the mind-locking technique the moment the supervisor drank the water.
Before he could swallow the water he just drank, he felt a stabbing pain in his chest, his heart was oppressed as if being entangled by a giant python, and the suffocation became heavier and heavier.
The supervisor frowned in puzzlement, but before he could get to the bottom of it, the dull pain intensified without warning, and under the eyes of everyone, the solid body fell to the ground with a thud.
He finally felt panic, stretched out his hands and couldn't stop calling for help—
"Help, help!"
"I...I can't breathe."
"Call someone, call someone over!"
He pinched his neck and rolled all over the ground, wailing constantly, and the people on both sides looked indifferent, even a little gloating.
The supervisor called for a long time, but no one came to help, and the cry for help became lower and lower, and finally, he kicked his legs and never got up again.
The companion who rushed over tried his breathing, his face sank, and he waved his hand at the two soldiers behind him. The two picked up the dead supervisor and threw them neatly into the gap.
"Keep working! Don't dawdle!"
There was silence all around, and everything was as peaceful as if nothing had happened.
Yun Wan's frown that had been tightly furrowed finally eased, and she raised her eyebrows slightly: "Come on, let's go and have a look inside Xiantai."
Xie Tingyun didn't say anything, and followed behind her with his eyes closed.
—A bully like this can't enter the six realms even if he dies.
There are four buildings in Wenxiantai, which are located in the four directions of southeast, northwest, respectively. Among them, the east is the main platform, and the construction has now been completed.
The four bypassed the guards and sneaked in easily.
The hall is extremely luxurious, with gold and stone pillars, emerald pavement, three hundred steps leading to the high platform, and the high platform is paved. written in yellow symbols.
It is such a place that has cost countless people their lives.
"There seems to be no clues, let's go out."
Xie Tingyun looked at the palace door, "I can't get out."
Yun Wan was startled.
I saw all the runes carved on the wall gushing out like life, the runes were connected into lines, the lines were cast into walls, and the walls formed into formations. The four people were trapped in the formation. Inside.
Obviously, this is a trap specially set up for them.
Xie Tingyun closed his eyes and carefully felt the ray of light sent out before. In the darkness, his consciousness closely followed the ray of light, and the speed of the light spot was getting faster and faster, and finally Completely swallowed by darkness.
Xie Tingyun opened his eyes again, and let out a very shallow sigh.
