For the peace of the fairy world

Fang Huai woke up from his lethargy.He was still strapped to the chair, his limbs were cold and numb.

The stone room was already empty.

It was only then that he remembered everything that happened before he fell asleep, and how he was awakened by that shrill scream.

That should be sent by the magic dragon that is about to break the seal.It seemed that Xu Rongsheng had succeeded.

A big stone fell to Fang Huai's heart.But when he looked down and saw the dagger at his feet, his heart rose again.

He was fed by Yin Fengzhi as a puppet, and Yin Fengzhi gave him an order to kill Yu Xiao...

Will Yu Xiao come?Will come here to save him?

Fang Huai couldn't help but see a series of pictures in front of his eyes. Yu Xiao came here, found this stone room, saw him, came up to untie him, and after he loosened his hands and feet, he picked up the dagger on the ground and inserted it into Yu Xiao's body. Heart...

Fang Huai gritted his teeth, looked around, and struggled hard. The fine iron chains did not loosen at all, but only caused the chair to shake. If it fell to the ground, it would be even more disadvantageous.

He looked at the dagger on the ground, old and dirty, engraved with obscure runes, what kind of dagger could this be?Since Yin Fengzhi left him here and put this dagger here, he must be sure that he can kill Yu Xiao with it.

no.He couldn't kill Yu Xiao.

Fang Huai felt flustered and struggled for a while, but the chain was a magic weapon, the more he struggled to break free, the weaker his body became.

The panic spread in his heart.Fang Huai swallowed his dry throat, and the picture he imagined appeared in front of his eyes.

He hates Yu Xiao, yes.They have grudges.But Fang Huai always wanted to win with Yu Xiao on a fair battlefield. He never thought of Yu Xiao's death, and he died in his hands.

He has never gritted his teeth like an enemy, wishing Yu Xiao pain or misfortune.He never had this kind of thought. From the beginning to the end, his greatest revenge was nothing more than defeating Yu Xiao openly.

And let Yu Xiao die...

Fang Huai felt his body tremble.He didn't know it himself, once he thought that Yu Xiao would die, or even just imagined that he stabbed a dagger into the other's chest, he felt extremely panicked.

Nine months ago, Yu Xiao was half kneeling on the ground in his room, looking up at him before his eyes.

He hung his head and was stunned.He stopped thinking for a moment, and he couldn't help laughing bitterly as his brain started working again.Laughter echoed in the empty stone room.

I see.It turned out that he had already softened his heart.

He insisted that he should not forgive Yu Xiao, but in his heart, he no longer hated him.

If it wasn't Yu Xiao who did that to him back then, but anyone else, what would he have done?Would he say to that person calmly, "I don't want to see you again"?He was afraid that even stepping on the same ground with that person would feel disgusting.

It turned out to be early, early...

Fang Huai closed his eyes, and there was a trace of sourness in his eyes for a moment.

The heavy stone door made a loud noise and fell to the ground with a bang, and a tall figure appeared at the door.

Fang Huai turned his head suddenly, looking at the visitor as if he was watching a nightmare.

"Brother." Yu Xiao met his gaze.

Fang Huai tensed up, shook his head and said, "Go..."

"I know, I'll go." Yu Xiao came in front of him, reaching out to break the chains on his body. "I'll untie you and leave."

"Go away!" Fang Huai avoided his hand with all his strength, his whole body was unstable, and he fell to the ground with his chair.

Yu Xiao's hands froze in the air.Fang Huai said angrily: "I don't want you to untie me, you go now, go now! I will..."

Kill you.

He couldn't say that sentence, couldn't say that thing, the words "Kill you" came out of his mouth, the root of his tongue froze, he couldn't make a sound, and he couldn't move his mouth.Fang Huai felt a trace of despair.

"Get out!" He could only use a low hoarse voice, yelling hysterically.He must be in a mess right now.

Yu Xiao stepped forward and held his shoulders, Fang Huai dodged in vain.He couldn't move his whole body, he could only watch himself being helped up by Yu Xiao again.

"Senior Brother." Yu Xiao bent down, Fang Huai showed an expression of avoiding a scourge, and murmured: "Don't move my chain..."

"Senior brother, you are crying." Yu Xiao raised her hand, bent her knuckles and lightly touched Fang Huai's eyes.

Fang Huai opened his mouth again, but found that he couldn't even speak.Then he heard a "click", and the iron chain on his body broke.

Fang Huai looked at Yu Xiao, and Yu Xiao tapped his fingertips a few more times. The iron chains wrapped around his hands and feet broke into several pieces and slipped down from his body.

Yu Xiao looked up again and saw Fang Huai's eyes were red.

There was that knife-like pain in his heart again, he straightened up and said: "I... I'm leaving now. You can stay here for a while, the righteous people will come soon."

Speaking of which, Yu Xiao turned around, took two steps toward the door, and suddenly heard someone behind him shout: "Yu Xiao."

When he turned his head, Fang Huai got up from the chair with his head down and said, "I still have something to say to you."

Yu Xiao turned around again and said, "What..." His pupils shrank.

The dagger plunged into the chest, and the blade pierced into the flesh, making a simple and dull "poof".

The blood smeared from the inside of the clothes, and compared with the pale face, it was too dazzling, and it had never been so piercing that people's eyes turned black.

"Brother!"

He took the fallen man into his arms.

It is useless to input spiritual power and real energy to heal the physical body.It seemed that this person's body was a thin piece of paper, and if a hole was pierced with a dagger, nothing could hold it.

Fang Huai was lying in his arms, but he was much calmer than him, as if he was relieved, he held the handle of the knife with his hand, and pulled the dagger out of his heart.Throw it on the ground with a crisp sound.

"Sure enough, it shouldn't be used on you..."

Yu Xiao's hands trembled, and began to hold down the blood gushing from Fang Huai's chest like an ignorant and clumsy child.

Fang Huai looked at him, he hadn't looked at Yu Xiao so carefully for a long time, and felt that his helpless appearance was quite in line with his imagination of the young man beside him when he was blind.The junior who obediently let the senior take care of him.

"This knife was left to me by Yin Fengzhi. This is a game Yin Fengzhi set up for you. She was sure that you would come." Fang Huai said slowly, with the last bit of strength, the corner of his mouth hooked, "But she underestimated me."

His vision began to shake and fade due to blood loss. He couldn't see Yu Xiao clearly, so he could only hold the hand that was pressed on his chest. If it wasn't because he was too weak, he could still hear a bit of ridicule in his tone: "Magic My lord, for the sake of saving your life, my father, mother, grandfather, and your father, mother, Taibai..."

"You won't die."

Yu Xiao's words were decisive, Fang Huai heard his half-closed eyes opened, and met his bloodshot and red eyes.

Yu Xiao took his hand back and laid him flat on the ground.

"what are you up to?

Fang Huai's eyes widened, he had no strength to speak out, and saw Yu Xiao's five fingers embedded in his chest, slightly retracted, and grasped something in the flesh and blood.

Not only his own blood, but also Yu Xiao's blood dripped down Huai's lapel.

The runes on the dagger started to explode, and he twitched all over, but Yu Xiao's slightly distorted face was in sight.

He forcibly pulled something out of his heart, and brought it to Fang Huai.

On the bloody palm, there was a brilliant and full golden pill, the brilliance reflected the whole stone room shining brightly.

"I cut off your golden core in the past, I regret it very much."

The moment the golden pill was cut out, Yu Xiao froze, showing an old and haggard look like an old man.He took the golden pill in his mouth, bent down, kissed Fang Huai's lips, and put it into his mouth.

"Give mine back to you."

His vision gradually blurred, and with a tear falling from the corner of his eye, the last thing Fang Huai saw was Yu Xiao's black skirt soaked in blood.

When Fang Huai woke up again, it was still this empty stone room.

He got up from the ground, his body regained his strength, and the pain of near death brought by the dagger was wiped cleanly from his body.

His chest was also as calm as before, except for the dried blood on his clothes, there was no trace of trauma.

Fang Huai closed his eyes, and could feel the golden elixir turning slowly and gently in his dantian, providing powerful and pure spiritual power to his body.

He opened his eyes again, and rushed out of the stone room like a gust of wind.

Yu Xiao, where did Yu Xiao go?

He gave him the golden core, which means he gave up all his cultivation, leaving only the soul and a physical body, so he shouldn't be able to go far.The corridors and passages like the underground maze, as well as the various rooms, are already empty.Fang Huai unfolded his consciousness and searched the entire ground.

The spiritual consciousness swept over, but did not find Yu Xiao, but noticed another soul.

Fang Huai rushed over immediately.

In the open space in the center of the ground, the real altar is located in the center. Fang Huai saw a figure leaning against the altar from a distance.

He flew over and turned the woman's body over.

Yin Fengzhi's eyes were tightly closed, the blood from the corners of her mouth had dried up, and there was still a trace of breath at the end of her nose. One soul in her body was shattered and nearly destroyed, while the other was still sleeping.

Fang Huai raised his hand, touched her forehead with his fingertips, and poured spiritual power into her sea of ​​consciousness, awakening the sleeping soul.

As soon as the woman opened her eyes, her face became alive, and she returned to the expression he was familiar with: "Fang Huai?"

Fang Huai held her shoulder and said, "As long as you're fine."

Xiaobai looked at him, stood up quickly and said, "Are you okay? I was in the new house that day, and I only came out for a while..."

Fang Huai said, "Nine months have passed."

"Nine months?!"

While answering her question, Fang Huai thought about where to put her temporarily, and searched the ground with his spiritual sense, only to find that a large number of people were coming down from the ground.

Fang Huai then grabbed Xiaobai's hand and said, "Come with me."

The two left the altar, went around in the complicated passages, and met the person who descended into the maze.

"Huai'er!"

Fang Qisheng was surprised and delighted to see his son, strode forward, and then saw the woman behind him, his expression changed.

Fang Huai hurriedly said: "Father, she is not Yin Fengzhi. Yin Fengzhi is dead."

Fang Qisheng frowned and said, "She's not...then who is she?"

Fang Huai said: "She is my friend, and happened to take away Yin Fengzhi's house. I will explain to you the details later."

Fang Qisheng looked at Xiaobai, grabbed Fang Huai's arm and said, "We have read all your letters. Just now when Luguang came to report, your mother has already led people out of the city to chase after the ambush demon. How can you deal with such a big matter?" Don't you discuss it with us?"

Fang Huai said: "It's too late to discuss. I'm afraid it will alarm Moxiu instead." He asked again: "Father, did you see Ah Xiao?"

Fang Qisheng paused and said, "Not long ago, several Kunlun disciples saw him outside the altar."

"What happened just now?" he asked hastily.

"Just now..."

Fang Huai suddenly felt as if someone had punched him in the heart, and his eyes began to dizzy.It's Jindan, and Jindan hasn't fully merged with him yet.

"Huaier, Huaier?" Fang Qisheng supported him.

Fang Huai grabbed his father's hand with his backhand and said, "Keep Yu Xiao..." The golden elixir in the dantian began to speed up, and he spat out a mouthful of blood and fell down.

He had a long dream.

It was completely different from the hatred-filled dream that he had experienced before, this was Yu Xiao's everything except hatred.

Every bit of how the two got along, some little things that even he couldn't remember clearly, were clearly reproduced in this dream with Yu Xiao's eyes.

When the two families met on the road, he decided to change his and Yu Xiao's fate, then went to Taibai, and then went to Kunlun, the determination when they parted, and the betrayal after the reunion.

They are like two silk threads, woven and intertwined.No matter love or hate, they have been around each other for too long and cannot be separated.

And he only knows now, is it too late?

too late.

Fang Huai was immersed in this long and peaceful dream, but when he heard these words, he woke up immediately.

The sun shines through the window and hits the quilt in front of him. Panting heavily, he sees the shadow of the panes on the quilt.

"Ah, you're awake!"

A female voice next to her said.

Fang Huai turned his head, it was Xiaobai.

Sitting on the side of the couch, Xiaobai looked at him and said, "How do you feel? Aunt Yan asked me to move you under the window so that you can bask in the sun, but I didn't expect you to really wake up."

Fang Huai looked at her smiling face and said, "They..."

Xiaobai understood what he was going to ask, and said, "They didn't make things difficult for me. They didn't allow me to come to you at first, but later Aunt Yan arrived and explained to them, and that's all right."

Hearing her say "later", Fang Huai said in astonishment, "I... have slept for a few days?"

"I didn't sleep for long, only four days."

Fang Huai grabbed her wrist and said, "What about Yu Xiao?"

Xiao Bai was startled and said, "Hey, don't worry, he's fine for now."

Fang Huai's hand just relaxed a little, immersed in his own thoughts.Xiaobai rubbed his wrist and said, "Gu Yan said that you would definitely ask this person when you wake up, and you really are."

"Where is he now?"

"In prison." Seeing his pale face and dry lips, Xiaobai turned around and poured tea for him, saying, "The demon cultivators have all retreated, and some of the people under the altar ran away from the secret passage. Some were caught. This Yu Xiao, your parents and your uncle and uncle are arguing with people from other sects because of him, and those people want to deal with him..."

She had just finished pouring tea, when she heard a "plop" behind her, she hurriedly turned around, and saw that Fang Huai had rolled on the ground like a gourd, and sighed, "What are you doing up? You can't move now, just lie down."

With a lot of effort, she helped Fang Huai back onto the couch and said, "The day for his execution has been set, and we are now discussing what crime he should be sentenced to."

"Execution?" Fang Huai's face became increasingly ugly, "When is it?"

"Two days later."

Yu Xiao was caught as a demon cultivator, no matter how much Taibai tried to protect him, he was powerless.

Besides, someone who had been choked by Fang Huai that day said, "Didn't your family's chief true biography say that Yu Xiao is your abandoned disciple? Since he is a demon cultivator, he should be put to death on the execution platform just like other demon cultivators!" "

Li Chiying said coldly: "Although he is a demon cultivator, have you ever seen him harm people? Didn't he also follow my son to save people when Yin's betrayal?"

The man sneered and said: "After this battle, hundreds of people died. Can the few people he saved be worth the sin of the demon cultivator? Besides, maybe he even colluded with the Yin family to save people that day. It's just putting on airs!"

"you!"

Li Chiying's face was angry, but he saw someone standing up at the table of Kunlun disciples and said: "Reverend Hongqu, although Yu Xiao used to be your nephew and junior brother Fang treated him like a brother, but everyone here, who is not on the battlefield?" Lost fellow disciples? Some have lost their beloved disciples, some have lost their mentors, this account must be settled!"

Li Chiying saw that it was the head of the thirteenth generation of Kunlun disciples, a young man named Ding Bai, who also made a lot of military exploits on the battlefield this time.

After going through the war, Ding Bai calmed down a lot. He stared at Li Chiying closely and said, "My master Xuan Ning died at the hands of Moxiu and Yin. For my teacher, I want to kill all the world's Moxiu. !"

Li Chiying frowned, looking at Fang Qisheng and Yu Xinyan behind him.

Yu Xinyan stood up, met Shang Ding Bai's eyes and said, "Yu Xiao is my only son. I will punish him for his son's fault of being unfilial to his father."

Ding Bai looked at him indifferently and said, "I only kill Moxiu."

Yu Xinyan clenched her fists and glanced at everyone in the lobby.

"That's all." Suddenly a deep sigh came, and everyone followed the sound, but it was Sanchun Daoist who came to the hall.

Sanchun Zhenren is a respected senior, and everyone got up one after another.

Daoist Sanchun raised his hand and pressed it, asked them to sit down, walked into the hall and said, "It's true that Yu Xiao is a demon cultivator, but it's also true that he saved more than a hundred lives in the fairy world that day. Everyone, it's better to judge fairly .”

An elder said: "Then what kind of punishment does Head Li think should be sentenced?"

Master Sanchun had seen Li Chiying, Fang Qisheng, and Yu Xinyan, and said: "Just scrape the bones."

Yu Xinyan's face turned white in an instant. Although the punishment of bone scraping was not fatal, it was ten thousand times more painful than death, and "scraping bones" was "scraping immortal bones", that is, root bones. Once scraped off, Yu Xiao would become Complete waste, no longer able to cultivate immortality.

Yu Xinyan tremblingly said: "Master..."

Sanchun Zhenren said: "Xinyan, one cause and one effect, it is not you and me who can force it."

Yu Xinyan's face was ashes, and she sat back on the chair.Xianle doesn't know about this yet, let her know...

Sanchun Zhenren said: "That's it. Two days later, the execution will be performed in public. Everyone, let's go."

Everyone got up, some secretly looked at the faces of Li Chiying and others, some were full of unwillingness, and some were as indifferent as Ding Bai, and left the lobby one after another.

When everyone was gone, Sanchun turned to Yu Xinyan and the others and said, "Don't let Huai'er know about this."

Li Chiying and his wife returned to the lower place in a depressed mood, and the disciple came to report that Fang Huai had woken up.

The couple looked at each other, Li Chiying turned his face away and said, "I can't speak, you go and see him."

Fang Qisheng smiled wryly: "Before he passed out, he told me to keep nephew Xiao, and he will ask about it later..."

Li Chiying said: "Nephew Xiao... Father has done his best, good and evil are incompatible, and father has to take care of the sect's face." She paused and said, "Perhaps in the future I can find a way to practice, isn't Huai'er just ..."

She didn't finish her sentence, but in fact she felt sorry for the junior and younger family, saying these were just words of comfort.She said: "Just say I'm meditating. I'll go see him tomorrow."

Fang Qisheng nodded, and the couple separated.Fang Qisheng went to Fang Huai's house.

Fang Huai was sitting under the window, and Xiao Bai was sitting at the table reading a book. When they heard him come in, they turned their heads and stood up.

"father."

Fang Qisheng nodded, smiled at Xiaobai, "Miss Bai."

Xiaobai bowed, looked at the two of them and said with a smile, "Talk to Fang Huai, the real man, I'll go for a walk."

Fang Qisheng thanked her with a smile, and after she left, he sat down by the couch and said, "How is it?"

Fang Huai said: "You can sit up, but you can't walk."

Fang Qisheng said: "Looking at his face, he looks better." Looking at him, he said: "Every family is still waiting for you to explain what happened that night."

"It's the same for my parents to tell me." Fang Huai said, and he told Yin's plot, Xu's false surrender, and the enchantment under the altar. He only told us to pay attention to Mrs. Xu and pay attention to ambushes, but who would have known that this was the case! If you made a wrong step that day, you would just..."

Fang Huai said with a smile: "Actually, I guess, the Patriarch of the Xu family didn't intend to follow Yin's order at all, but he didn't know about the magic dragon, and didn't know that the situation was so serious."

Fang Qisheng nodded, looked at Fang Huai and said, "But you are too bold, dare to break in by yourself, let your mother know, and scold you again."

Fang Huai smiled, moved his hand with great effort, put it on Fang Qisheng's hand and said: "My son is blessed with great destiny, and he can always turn danger into safety. Besides, I was not alone that day."

His eyes flickered, and he thought of the picture of Yu Xiao following him far away in the dream.Although it's not a good thing to follow secretly, he admitted that he read those with complicated emotions, although complicated, he didn't feel disgusted.

He couldn't help but said, "As for Yu Xiao, how will the sects deal with him?"

"Oh, this." Fang Qisheng knew that his precious son was the shrewdest, so he thought of an excuse before he came in, "I can't argue with us, we haven't decided yet."

"Isn't he going to be executed in two days?" Fang Huai stared at him.

Fang Qisheng said without changing his face: "It will probably be delayed."

Fang Huai nodded upon hearing this, "That's good."

Fang Qisheng looked at his son, with mixed emotions in his heart: "Huai'er, you still protect nephew Xiao so much, your mother and I thought that you and him have become estranged all these years..."

"Something happened." Fang Huai said, "But now, everything is settled."

Fang Qisheng talked with his son again, and told him to rest well and plan to go back.

He got up and walked to the door, then looked back at Fang Huai, and saw him sitting on the couch, quietly looking out the window.

Children do change.Fang Qisheng sighed, opened the door and left.

On the day of the execution, apart from Yu Xiao who received the bone punishment, Moxiu who was caught on the night of the incident was all sentenced to death.

The execution platform was full of people kneeling.Yu Xiao was dressed in a dirty and tattered black robe, kneeling in it, her eyes only staring at the ground in front of her.

Ding Bai walked up to the execution platform, walked past those demon cultivators who were either dumbfounded or trembling waiting to die, and came to Yu Xiao.

"Junior Brother Fang is really ashamed of you."

Yu Xiao didn't look up, and remained motionless.

Ding Bai looked at him coldly for a while, then said: "Junior Brother Fang knows that you are being tortured today, but he doesn't want to see you."

Yu Xiao moved at this moment, looked up at him, but said nothing.

Ding Bai clenched his fists, obviously he was standing and Yu Xiao was kneeling, but the other party looked at him like he was looking at an ant.

He couldn't suppress the anger in his heart, he raised his leg and was about to kick Yu Xiao's shoulder, but he heard the people under the execution platform screaming again and again.

He turned around, only to see a person coming up to the stage with a sword to push everyone back.

Li Chiying and his wife who were sitting in the distance were also stunned, they got up and shouted: "Huai'er!"

Fang Huai nodded distantly, and calmly said: "Father, mother." The voice was not high, but it spread far.Then he put the sword behind his back and said to Ding Bai, "Senior Brother Ding." He looked at Yu Xiao again.

Yu Xiao looked at him, his eyes became brighter.

Ding Bai said: "Brother Fang, this person is a demon cultivator! Don't you know how many of our fellow disciples have been killed by the demon cultivator?"

Fang Huai nodded and said, "I know. But he hasn't harmed anyone."

Ding Bai said: "You..."

Li Chiying flew onto the stage in a hurry and said, "Huai'er, what are you going to do?"

Fang Huai said: "Mother, I..."

"Don't be arrogant!" Li Chiying said in a high voice, "Come to mother!"

She and Fang Huai looked at each other for a long time. Although she loved her son, she always taught him harshly. Finally, Fang Huai softened and said, "I understand." Then he walked towards her.

Only then did Li Chiying heave a sigh of relief, and seeing his son approaching, he said, "Nephew Xiao..."

As soon as the words were out of his mouth, a sharp sword light flashed in front of him. Li Chiying, a famous sword repairman in Kyushu, immediately drew his sword to counter it.

At the moment when the swords met, Li Chiying felt in a daze. When did the child she cherished and kept in the palm of her hand become so strong?

Fang Huai exerted strength in his hand, knocked her back several hundred feet and said, "Mother, forgive my son for being self-willed."

Li Chiying came back to his senses, and hurriedly said angrily: "Huai'er, you forgot me and your father..."

However, it was too late to say anything. Fang Huai stabbed the saber in his hand into the ground. In an instant, with the saber as the center, the ground of the cracked scaffold spread out, and then a powerful force burst out.

This force was so powerful that even Li Chiying had to avoid it, not to mention everyone in the audience, all of them covered their heads with magic weapons and retreated.

When the energy dissipated, everyone looked at the execution platform again, and saw that there were cracks all over it, except for Ding Bai and the group of demon cultivators, Yu Xiao and Fang Huai were gone.
