Beauty crowns the world [Rebirth]

Chapter 5 Thousands of Lights at Night (23)

The smell on Lu Yunshen's body was very suitable for Jiang Qihe's liking, like the wind blowing from a distant cold mountain, mixed with the light and clear scent of grass and trees, and the bitterness was melodious.

This smell enveloped Jiang Qihe in an instant, and no one beside him, no matter how aggressive, could feel it anymore.His light amber eyes reflected Lu Yunshen's slightly drooping eyelashes, as well as his half-closed dark eyes, and the corners of his tight lips gradually softened, with a very slight arc on his face.

When Jiang Qihe closed his eyes, Lu Yunshen clasped his too narrow waist with the free hand, and tightened it inch by inch. The hand holding the sword deflected the edge of the sword, and slashed obliquely at the third man who jumped out of nowhere. A jade brocade fish.

The sword light was piercing, and the red and ferocious rock wall was smashed into pieces.Lu Yunshen led Jiang Qihe to avoid the collapsed rocks, rounded the corner, and came to a slightly open place.

"Is it better?" Lu Yunshen asked softly.

Jiang Qihe's beautiful eyes were bent, his upper body was leaned back a little, and away from Lu Yunshen's lips, he said with a smile, "Why are you so good at pleasing people?"

Lu Yunshen: "It's good if I can please you."

"Yo, I can still sum up experience, change my thinking, and answer questions correctly." Jiang Qihe raised his eyebrows slightly, moved his fingers restlessly to the back of Lu Yunshen's waist, and pinched lightly.

Lu Yunshen stretched out his hand to caress the corner of the man's lips, rubbing the curve back and forth, and asked with a smile, "Then what do you want me to say?"

Jiang Qihe gave a faint "tsk", "You have a strong desire to survive?"

"Hey, when did you two get along so well?" Ah Lu's voice came faintly from Jiang Qihe's sleeve, full of resentment.

Jiang Qihe said casually, "When you passed out."

"Wow, I'm really looking forward to Jiang Mian's expression when he saw Zhuangzhu Lu became his younger sister-in-law." Ah Lu flapped her wings and squeezed out from between Lu Yunshen and Jiang Qihe.

Jiang Qihe imagined that scene.Jiang Mian would probably be slightly taken aback, and then look at him with a complicated face, and might even ask, "Is this really Lu Yunshen? The one in Xuanjian Villa?"

At this time, Jiang Qihe could say: "Really, it's really Lu Yunshen, if you don't believe me, ask him to perform Gaotian Brahma body and Taishang's voice for you."

It's like playing tongue twister...

Jiang Qihe couldn't help but chuckle.

"Okay, the two old people are both seven or eight hundred years old, don't get tired of being together all the time, okay?" Ah Lu squatted on a stone, the bird's face was expressionless, and she looked at Jiang Qi with a flat gaze crane.

"How can you get tired of being together?" Jiang Qihe shrugged, scratched Lu Yunshen's palm lightly with his fingertips, then hooked the man's index finger, and dragged him forward.

This place is relatively open, but the road surface is uneven, and there is dark and sticky water on both sides, and a golden light can be vaguely seen flashing, and the jade brocade fish probably came out from here.Three of their kind were cut off in the blink of an eye, and the rest were all shivering at the bottom of the water, not daring to poke their heads out rashly.

In front is a stone cave, the wall is red and black, there are a few sparse vines hanging down, with curly pointed ends, one can tell that it is not an ordinary plant.

They probably came to the depths of Huangquan, in other words, Jiang Qihe will be able to see Jiang Mian soon.

It was impossible not to be excited, Jiang Qihe's heart beat faster every time he took a step closer.He held Lu Yunshen's hand tightly and tried his best to adjust his breathing.

"It's impossible for Huang Quan to be unguarded, right? Those few fish don't count." Jiang Qihe pulled the corners of his lips, raised his eyes and looked around, as if he was asking Lu Yunshen, or talking to someone hiding in the dark.

Soon, a soft hum came from the side of the vine, and amidst the fluctuating airflow, an old lady in a red cloak and holding a giant staff appeared.Her hair was gray and slightly messy, her face had deep wrinkles, her complexion was pale, and she was skinny.

"Entering the underworld requires a price." The old woman's yellow eyes stared straight at Jiang Qihe and Lu Yunshen, her lips did not open or close, but she did make a voice, old and heavy, and extremely hoarse.

Lu Yun took half a step obliquely, blocking Jiang Qihe behind him, with his epee in the air, and asked coldly, "What price?"

The old woman said coldly: "Naturally, it is at the cost of life."

"It's just a coincidence that no one on our side wants to pay that price."

As soon as Jiang Qihe's words fell, the sword light approached the old woman; the latter's withered body was extremely flexible, holding the huge stick in his hand and spinning, and the phantoms formed a block to block Jiang Qihe's sword wind, and then quickly changed positions , flashed three feet behind Jiang Qihe.

The hanging vines suddenly lifted up, like tentacles, and attacked Jiang Qihe viciously!

The vines are multiplying like rain falling from the sky.

Lu Yun swooped forward with a deep foot, swung a bright sword light in mid-air, and then turned around to send it off, colliding with the vines attacking Jiang Qihe.Then, while he was in the air, he suddenly raised his strength, stomped heavily, jumped behind Jiang Qihe with overwhelming momentum, and slashed diagonally, cutting off the vines all over the wall.

Jiang Qihe handed his back to Lu Yunshen, drew his long sword lightly, and the Yaobai Guanghua bit into the stream of light swung by the old woman's cane.The smile on his face gradually disappeared, the crow-black eyelashes trembled, and the brilliance beyond the stars was inverted in the lifted eyes.

Holding two swords in his hand, he tiptoed and flitted towards the old woman.

The frosty white robes rise and fall, as light as a veil, contrasting sharply with the redness of the ground in the underworld.His eyes were cold and his expression was cold, like a god descending from the Nine Heavens Palace, looking at the old woman as if he was looking at a straw.

"Taiqinghun..." The old woman whispered, but the voice still didn't come from her mouth.There was light in her yellow eyes, and after staring at Jiang Qihe for a moment, she suddenly relaxed her tense body and dropped the giant staff in her hand.

"Yellow Spring can't stop Taiqinghun." The old woman said again.

The old woman's self-destructive retreat caused Jiang Qihe's thoughts to move slightly, his sword sharply deflected, and the blade landed on the top of the old woman's hair, but did not strike.

"What are you talking about?" Jiang Qihe stopped in the void, his eyes narrowed, and he looked at the old woman indifferently.

The old lady's eyes moved, "Are you here to look for the Eye of the Underworld?"

"The Eye of the Underworld?" Jiang Qihe frowned.

"That is the core of the underworld, and it has now been fused with the core of the chaotic state. To completely solve the difficulty of the chaotic state, the eye of the underworld must be destroyed." The old woman said slowly.

"I'm not here to ruin this." Jiang Qihe said coldly, "I'm looking for Jiang Mian."

The old woman's eyes flickered slightly, and she asked doubtfully, "Jiang Mian?"

Jiang Qihe was surprised: "You are the guardian of Huangquan, but you don't know about Jiang Mian?"

The old woman's forehead was deeply wrinkled, she lowered her eyes and pondered, and after a long time, she said again, "Is it the moon..."

But she couldn't finish her words, a ray of light flew from nowhere, and suddenly hit her eyebrows!

Jiang Qihe subconsciously deflected the blade to block it, but he didn't know that it was just a trick to lure the enemy. The real killing blade came from behind the old woman's side through the wind, twirling and sinking into her body, breaking her heart.

The old lady still maintained the expression she had at the last moment, her brows were tightly knitted and her eyes were downcast, but in the next moment, her body suddenly collapsed, like a collapsed wall, turning into dust and falling to the ground.

Jiang Qihe swung his long sword, and the sword light swept in the direction of the sneak attack, but it didn't hit anyone except for bursting the ferocious rock.

"Have you noticed it?" Jiang Qihe asked in a deep voice.

The vines that were entangled with Lu Yunshen lost their vitality at the moment of the old woman's death, unable to hang down, and the ones that were crazily jumping down also retracted one after another, hiding in the crevices of the rocks.Lu Yunshen frowned and let out his consciousness. After scanning around, he said, "There is no one except us."

Jiang Qihe asked again: "What is Taiqinghun?"

Lu Yunshen didn't know, and Lu Yuniao also held his head and said that he had never heard of it.

"That old woman's meaning is obvious, you are too pure, and Huang Quan can't stop you, so she just stopped struggling." Lu Yun walked towards Jiang Qihe with his sword hanging down, staring into his eyes with black eyes.

"The reason why she died was because someone didn't want her to tell me about Jiang Mian." Jiang Qihe clenched his sword hand, turned around and walked deeper along the cave wall.

The frosty white robe draws an arc, the long sword shines brightly, Jiang Qihe walks extremely fast, and his face is extremely dignified.

After walking for a while, there was a sudden slight noise from the deep black ditch beside the cave wall, as if someone was shaking the water surface, twice lightly, once hard, and the cycle went back and forth about three times.

It was clear that someone was sending a signal to them.

The blue eyes of the green-feathered bird froze, and said to Jiang Qihe: "I'm going to find out what happened, you continue."

A-Lv has its source of information, Jiang Qihe never knew too much about it, and waved his hand to let him go.

The further you go, the steeper the road becomes. After turning a corner and entering a narrow stone cave, the slope is almost perpendicular to the flat ground.

Jiang Qihe and Lu Yunshen, one in front of the other, simply withdrew their strength and allowed themselves to fall.

The surrounding area was as dark as ink, and the ball of light condensed by Yuan Li could only illuminate an inch or so away. Jiang Qihe looked up at the dim outline, put his index and middle fingers together, and sent out a sword light.

The bright white light leaped down like a dragon, leaving a slight afterglow in the almost empty space, which was swallowed up in an instant.

"Yellow Spring is really a strange place." Jiang Qihe smiled half a smile, "This fall seems to be endless."

Lu Yunshen's eyes trembled, "Is it similar to death?"

Jiang Qihe took a deep breath and let it out slowly before answering Lu Yunshen's question, "Yes, the boundless darkness and endless falling will make people think of many things unconsciously."

"What did you remember?" Lu Yunshen asked.

"What about you?" Jiang Qihe asked back.

Lu Yunshen: "I didn't think about anything."

Jiang Qihe hooked the hem of Lu Yunshen's clothes with the hilt of his sword, "I was thinking, what would be the first thing I would say when I see Jiang Mian."

In the darkness, Jiang Qihe heard Lu Yunshen chuckle: "When I see him, I will naturally know what to say."

These words also made Jiang Qihe start laughing, he suddenly found that Lu Yunshen is very suitable for practicing Buddhism, everything goes with the flow, not forcing or forcing.

Life.

Jiang Qihe couldn't help sighing in his heart, but thinking of the old woman's interrupted words and the meaningless "too pure soul", melancholy frowns again.

The quiet and boundless darkness will make people's perception of time confused. When Jiang Qihe stepped on the ground, he felt in a trance that his whole life had passed, but Shu Er thought it was only a moment.

What is the difference between a lifetime and a moment?

Dependence arises and disappears for a moment, and flowers bloom and fade for a lifetime.

The spring breeze melts the snow for a moment, and the vegetation withers and flourishes for a lifetime.

Too long or too short, it is a moment in a lifetime, a lifetime in a moment.

Lu Yunshen squeezed out a few balls of Yuanli light again, and the darkness was dispelled.He looked up and saw a flat dome, about five feet high, with blue bricks tightly pieced together one after another, seamlessly extending to both ends, and there was no exit when they came.

Looking down, you can see that this place is a long corridor, which looks like a mirror reflection. On both sides of the road on the ground, there are stone lanterns of low height, and on the top, there are also stone lanterns hanging down.

Lu Yunshen waved his sleeves, and the light clusters of Yuanli floated away, lighting up the stone lanterns one by one.

The light is like a burning fire dragon, swimming forward at a leisurely pace, illuminating the field of vision completely and clearly.Jiang Qihe finally saw clearly what was painted on the stone wall of the corridor.

At the beginning of the world, everything was chaotic, the sun and the moon were invisible, and there was no light or darkness.Later, there was a god named Tian, ​​who came from the upper realm, broke through the chaos with a giant axe, and the place where the foot stepped was the ground, and the sky above the head, and waved to attract thousands of stars, one of which was called the sun, and one of them was called the moon. According to each side.

It is also divided into the two worlds of birth and death, connected by the Yellow Spring, death leads to life, life leads to death, and the cycle goes on and on.

And the Eye of the Underworld... is the place every dead person must pass through.Here, the past lives they recalled leave the body under the gaze of the eyes of the underworld, and go away with the dust of the past.

But Jiang Qihe didn't see anything similar to "Taiqinghun", which made him a little disappointed.

"It's like a tomb here." Jiang Qihe murmured in a low voice as the orange flame was reflected by the blade of the sword, "Describe the tomb owner's life on the mural for the tomb robbers to watch."

Lu Yun looked at him with a deeply paralyzed face: "..."

Jiang Qihe stared back: "Why do you look at me like that? Who would go to other people's graves except grave robbers?"

Master Lu bent his lips helplessly. Since Jiang Qihe was holding the sword in both hands, he had no choice but to grab his wrist and continue walking.

"But you're right, if what's said in the mural is true." Jiang Qihe's eyes turned lightly, referring to the issue of "heaven" he was thinking about outside the chaos, "You say, the highest will of the world today It's called 'Day of Heaven', could it be related to the original 'Heaven'?"

Without waiting for Lu Yunshen to answer, he said to himself again: "I think it's related... But, who can explain these things clearly?"

Lu Yun smiled deeply.

The corridor turned back in front of his eyes, Lu Yunshen waved his sleeves again, and lit the stone lantern behind the corner, but the road ahead was shorter than expected, about ten feet away, before reaching the end.

That place is a semi-circular space, no longer like an upside-down mirror like the way it came.A pool built with red mountain stones is located in the middle, and there should be a spring at the bottom, because the water is bubbling.

There are two doors behind the pool, one door is bright, and the other door is dark and gloomy.

"This is the Eye of the Underworld." Lu Yunshen said.

Jiang Qihe whispered Jiang Mian's name, and walked quickly towards the Eye of the Underworld, but stopped suddenly when there was only three feet away.

His hands trembled suddenly, followed by his whole body, like a dead leaf on a branch that was about to fall when it encountered the autumn wind.

"What's the matter?" Lu Yunshen cast a glance at the Eye of the Underworld, and then his eyes fell back on Jiang Qihe. He held the man's shoulders and forced him to stand up.

Jiang Qihe raised his eyelids, his light amber eyes were confused, "You can't see?"

The light in his eyes was shattered, flickering slightly, fragile and silent.He asked again, with a very soft and trembling voice: "You can't see?"

"What did you see?" Lu Yun's eyes darkened deeply,

Jiang Qihe saw Jiang Mian at the bottom of the Eye of the Underworld.

The color of that person's soul was very light, almost to the point of being translucent.He bowed his head and knelt, his hands were suspended by heavy chains, and his calves... had completely merged with the surroundings.

Jiang Mian was locked in the Eye of the Underworld and is becoming a part of the Eye of the Underworld.

Jiang Qihe had died once and manifested in the world with his soul, so he naturally knew what the fading of the soul meant.

Jiang Mian was about to die, and death in the true sense would turn into a speck of dust in the world, a ray of light, and there would be no afterlife.

How could Jiang Mian be in the eyes of the underworld?Does the so-called eternal bondage refer to merging with the eye of the underworld and standing here forever?

After his eyelashes fluttered several times, Jiang Qihe's beautiful eyes gradually widened. He suddenly broke free from Lu Yunshen's hand holding his shoulder, and staggered towards the Eye of Huangquan.

It was too late and then too soon, at the edge of the Eye of the Underworld, a film of light suddenly lit up, flicking Jiang Qihe's outstretched hand away!

"It's useless. Only the soul can touch the Eye of the Underworld." A young voice sounded from behind the door on the west side, and then it creaked, and the door opened.

Light poured in from behind the door, illuminating the place brilliantly.

Jiang Qihe saw a familiar face approaching the Eye of the Underworld. He was holding a wooden staff, and against the light, his outline appeared deeper than usual.

This person had delicate features, red lips and white teeth, but his eyes were covered by a black cloth, so he couldn't see his expression clearly.

"Should I say that it is brotherly love? I can actually see the soul in the eyes of Huangquan... But Mr. Chunfeng, this is the last step. The eye of Huangquan has become the nucleus of the Chaos Realm. If the nucleus is not destroyed, the Chaos Realm is not counted." Destroyed." Another person walked out, he was dressed in a moon-white robe with plum red and lone bird singing in the evening pattern, the material was very luxurious, but other than that, there was no adornment on his body.

He put his hand on the handsome young man's shoulder and smiled at Jiang Qihe.

The two were Chen Yi, who was captured by the blind old man in the Yanqin Cave, and Lian Shanhe, who was in charge of the Sky Mirror, whom he met once in the Jiangyang City Lord's Mansion.
