Chapter 992: The Storytelling Spirit
Outside the vast bamboo forest, a breeze blows, the red bamboos sway in the wind, and the rustling sound echoes.

It’s not the sound of nature, but it’s better than the sound of nature.

The roar of Fu Xie's mind also rose and fell accordingly, and in his world, became a part of this natural sound.

It spread to the whole body, and wherever it passed, all areas of the body began to tremble, and his thoughts also dissipated rapidly.

But it didn't dissipate quickly, so it gave him some time to recall the journey.

Shilisha represents the desert he went to, Baili Ze represents the swamp he escaped to, Qianlifen is the bald mountain that looks like a grave, and Wanlilin is right in front of him.

Nursery rhymes witness his journey.

It seemed that from the moment he stepped into the desert, everything about him was in the nursery rhyme woven by the other party.

This is a weird kind of theocracy.

His name is Story.

After realizing this divine power, Fu Xie's thoughts completely disappeared and his mind went blank.

His eyes were blank, and he fell into a kind of empty daze, looking at the Wanlilin in front of him, looking at the god standing in front of him.

The other person's figure was infinitely large, as if he controlled everything and knew everything.

I felt like a character in the story, gazing at the creation.

You can't think, because the character's thoughts are given by the storyteller.

I can’t move, because the character’s behavior is also given by the storyteller.

Even the fear and horror were gone.

To some extent, this storyteller can be considered compassionate.

At this moment, the compassionate Yu Liuchen raised his right hand and hooked it lightly. Suddenly, a tearing sound echoed, and the big sword growing on Fuxie's body behind him was instantly severed from his body.

Fly slowly.

As disgusting masses of flesh and blood slid down in mid-air, the dark bubbles and the ruins of the tower were revealed.

"Hey, there's another person here."

The corner of Yu Liuchen's mouth curled up. The moment the voice came out, Xu Qing in the ruined tower stood up silently, walked out of the ruined tower, stepped out of the bubble, and when he appeared, he was already in front of Yu Liuchen.

"Greetings, senior."

Xu Qing lowered his head.

The appearance of Yu Liuchen was beyond his expectations. He thought that someone would save him, but no matter how he analyzed it, Yu Liuchen could not be among them.

Even though this person had cooperated and helped the Sword-wielding Emperor when the Emperor fell, he gave Xu Qing the feeling that both his behavior and thoughts were weird and changeable.

Joy, anger, good and evil are all in one thought and are unpredictable.

"Isn't this the heir of the sword?"

Yu Liuchen smiled but didn't smile.

Xu Qing put away his thoughts and bowed respectfully.

"Senior, I will remember your life-saving grace."

Yu Liuchen smiled, raised his right hand and waved it, and suddenly bamboos flew over and formed a bamboo table in front of him, with five tea cups on it.

There was also a stove that suddenly appeared out of nowhere nearby, with an old teapot burning on it.

There was water in the teapot, which began to boil. Then five streams of water flew out and landed in five teacups respectively. Immediately, the fragrance filled the air and spread.

After doing all this, Yu Liuchen sat cross-legged, picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip.

"You said you would remember. Are you going to remember it with your current divinity, or with your fading humanity that is about to be lost?"

Xu Qing thought about it, took out a blank bamboo slip from his storage bag, and carved six words on it with his right hand.

Yu Liuchen, you are so kind.

Afterwards, Xu Qing put the jade slip back into the storage bag and looked at Yu Liuchen in front of him.

"Remember this."

Yu Liuchen raised his eyebrows with a playful look, and looked at Xu Qing carefully.

"Interesting, then sit down and have some tea."

Xu Qing sat aside without any hesitation, picked up the teacup and drank it in one gulp.

The boiling hot tea flowed down his throat and exploded in his body, forming a heat wave that instantly spread throughout his body and even hit his mind, stirring up all of Xu Qing's memories from childhood to adulthood.

These memories, like pictures, emerged in Xu Qing's mind.

He saw Wushuang City, saw the misery of his childhood, saw the silence after his first murder, saw the death of Master Bai, saw the friendship of the Seven Blood Eyes, saw his own distortion when facing Ziqing, saw the figures of the old Palace Master Kong Liangxiu and the Sword Emperor...

I also saw Zixuan, Ling'er, and the senior brother...

Yet, these experiences and all these scenes that belong to him now seem indescribably strange, as if he was watching someone else's life.

The joys and sorrows in it could not disturb his heart at the moment.

Until the next moment, the images of these memories, under the heat of the tea, became more colorful, and the joy, anger, sorrow and happiness within them became more obvious.

In the end, it was infinitely magnified and turned into one thunder after another, exploding continuously.

boom!
Xu Qing's whole body trembled, and he felt joy.

boom!
Xu Qing's mind was in turmoil. He felt fear, then anger, then shock, then sadness...

All kinds of human emotions and desires return at this moment.

The world, before his eyes, was no longer the same as before.

More colors.

Xu Qing raised his head suddenly, his breathing became rapid, and his expression was no longer as calm as before. He felt the humanity that he once had to suppress rising up.

A new balance was reached with the divinity that he had deliberately magnified.

Furthermore, he had murderous intent towards Fuxie, which exploded uncontrollably in his heart, causing Xu Qing to suddenly turn his head and look at the dazed Fuxie beside him, with murderous intent in his eyes.

But soon, he took a deep breath, retracted his gaze, looked at Yu Liuchen in front of him, stood up, clasped his fists, and bowed again.

"Thank you, senior!"

Yu Liuchen took a sip of tea and spoke lightly.

"You don't have to thank me. The main reason I came here was because I was curious."

Xu Qing hesitated, his mind spinning. He was a little confused about what the other party was curious about.

"I am curious about the state of the people made of Shanghuang's flesh and blood. This has never happened before you."

Yu Liuchen looked at Xu Qing.

"So here I am."

"In fact, even if I didn't come, your rescuer would be here soon."

"So, you don't have to thank me. I don't want to have any causal relationship with you."

Xu Qing was silent. He glanced at the three extra cups on the bamboo table besides his and Yu Liuchen's cups.

"But speaking of it, what happened to you this time is very interesting..."

Yu Liuchen smiled and raised his hand to wave at the dazed Fu Xie.

Fu Xie's body trembled, his senses were restored, his body resumed movement, his pupils contracted, and horror and fear returned.

After doing all this, Yu Liuchen continued to speak slowly.

"Fu Xie's pair of scissors is good, but... they can't escape my eyes, so how can they escape the eyes of your human race's empress? What's more, your master didn't make any sound from beginning to end."

"But you may not know... During the days you were missing, the human race and Yan Yue jointly issued a decree with great momentum, completing a perfect linkage and unifying the will of the Wanggu East Realm."

"It shocked other regions, and also shocked the holy land that descended on your Eastern Territory."

"At the same time, under the pretext of looking for you, they arranged the deployment of troops and strategies in a reasonable manner. The layout of some places...even for me, it is a little unclear."

Yu Liuchen exclaimed in praise.

Xu Qing heard Yu Liuchen's hidden meaning and sighed.

As for Fu Xie, after hearing this, his breathing became noticeably more rapid.

"I think the next move of the empress of your human race should be... to use your case as an excuse to prevent similar incidents from happening again. After showing her intimidation, she should reasonably and domineeringly disperse all the holy places in the Eastern Realm."

"With this method, it only takes a small price to clear the Eastern Realm. No wonder the Sword Master chose to help Him."

Yu Liuchen narrowed his eyes and looked at Xu Qing.

"It's just hard for you. It's been so bumpy along the way. It's true that the gods are all ruthless. It's so pitiful."

Xu Qing was helpless and looked at Yu Liuchen.

"These words of the predecessors are of profound significance..."

Yu Liuchen laughed happily when he heard that. He was deliberately trying to sow discord, not for anything else but just for fun.

But soon, he stopped laughing.

Xu Qing spoke seriously.

"But senior, I am not that narrow-minded... If it is really as you said, then I believe that my master is paying attention to everything."

"Is it possible that the appearance of the senior was also expected by my master?"

Xu Qing looked at Yu Liuchen and said softly.

Yu Liuchen blinked. Xu Qing's words didn't seem so interesting to him anymore, so he became thoughtful.

At this moment, Fu Xie's eyes were filled with madness. Taking advantage of this opportunity, his body suddenly exploded with a bang. All his cultivation and aura burst out. He retreated at full speed at all costs, regardless of the cost, regardless of blood, regardless of everything.

The great scissors above his head suddenly appeared and cut towards him at a rapid speed.

With a click, it seemed to cut through the void.

The evil body suddenly disappeared.

Xu Qing looked at him coldly, while Yu Liuchen on the side didn't even look at him and spoke lightly.

"Boy, let me tell you a story."

"In the story, there was a monk named Fu Xie. He walked through the Ten Miles of Sand, the Hundred Miles of Lake, the Thousand Miles of Tomb, and came to the Ten Thousand Miles of Forest. Then he got lost, and relied on luck to teleport back. Finally, in order to express his gratitude, he decided to explode, and a flower bloomed, and then he drank a cup of tea from me."

Just as Yu Liuchen finished speaking, the place in front of him where Fuxie had just disappeared appeared again in the distorted void. Fuxie's figure became broken and even weaker, and even his cultivation was about to collapse.

The moment he appeared, Fu Xie looked at the scenery and people, which seemed to have not changed at all from when he left a month ago. His expression became even more shocked and he was filled with fear again.

A month ago, after he cut off the cause and effect here, he did not hesitate to expose the source of the scissors in exchange for relocation.

Finally he escaped from this place, and in the following month, he experienced many life and death experiences and traveled through countless areas, until... he returned here again.

At this moment, he was trembling as he looked at Yu Liuchen. Without any hesitation, his body roared and he chose to self-destruct.

This was the only way he could think of to escape.

But the next moment, when he woke up, the scene in front of him was still not what he had imagined. He was still looking at the bamboo forest, Xu Qing, and Yu Liuchen.

He did not wake up at the scheduled place, but woke up here.

"Let's have some tea." Yu Liuchen said lightly.

Fu Xie stared blankly at the teacup in front of him, picked it up trembling with despair, and drank it in a bitter gulp.

At the same time, the sky in the distance suddenly turned gray, as if it had turned into mud. As it spread in all directions, a ceremonial team composed of countless clay figures, carrying a shrine, walked towards here.

In the team, Erniu looked excited and full of joy, waving to Xu Qing.

"Xiao Aqing, the senior brother is here!"
