The picture in the illusion began to speed up.

Clouds began to cover the capital.

Gu Shuo put on his clothes and got out of bed, and had a private conversation with his subordinates and ministers sent by the sage to assist him.

According to Ah Qi, the sorcerer's spiritual power was unbelievably powerful, and he was actually much more terrifying than some of the first-generation monsters he had come into contact with.

At first they heard that monsters devoured each other in the outskirts of Beijing, but if the troublemaker was not a monster at all, but a sorcerer, then the one who devoured the monster would be that sorcerer...

however--

When Gu Shuo called Su Xuan into the room, after hearing these words, Su Xuan lowered his face and said: "For people other than monsters, devouring monsters cannot directly absorb the spiritual power of monsters. For his own use, unless he devours enough, but not to mention whether he has the ability to devour so many monsters, can he still encounter so many monsters in this world?"

The natural spiritual power in the world is always dissipating and being affected. There are fewer and fewer first-generation monsters and second-generation monsters born in this world. The lack of spiritual power makes some people start to prey on monsters. From then on, monsters They all hid themselves.

It is true that the so-called hiding is often nothing more than pretending to be mortals like Su Xuan and others in the world, but first of all, those who prey on monsters have to identify their identities.

Therefore, the sorcerer should not be able to devour a monster of such magnitude, let alone greatly increase his spiritual power through such a simple act of devouring.

He should even have known better than some foolish mortals that devouring common yokai would do him no good.

So if he was really increasing his spiritual power by devouring monsters, then what he devoured must be a generation of monsters—he directly devoured the spiritual core!

"Can the spirit and the core be swallowed?" Ah Qi was dumbfounded.

"I don't know, and I've never seen it, but in order to become stronger, some people will try crazy things, and if they try a lot, crazy things will come true, right?" Su Xuan said solemnly.

And if that sorcerer is really devouring a generation of monsters and their spiritual cores, then Gu Ruqing...

Su Xuan raised his head and said, "I'll be the bait to lure him out!"

The others were slightly taken aback, but Gu Shuo immediately frowned and said, "No."

Su Xuan explained: "Ah Shuo, I know you are worried about me, but your situation is unknown, so if the wizard is still looking for a generation of monsters, then I will be the most suitable bait. Don't worry, I am very powerful and will never be hurt!"

"Aye is also the best of a generation of monsters." Gu Shuo had a sullen face, and the meaning behind his words was very clear.

"But Gu Weitong, someone has to go out and lure the wizard out. If you just wait for the other party to act, it's too passive." The minister of the court persuaded.

"Besides, that wizard is now in the suburbs of Beijing. His spiritual power is so powerful and his ambition is so terrifying. Leaving him for one more day is a great hidden danger!"

"That's right, that's true..."

Ah Qi seemed to want to say something, but looked at Gu Shuo's face and dared not say anything.

Su Xuan pulled Gu Shuo aside, and said, "Ah Shuo, if you, Aye, are really swallowed by that wizard, as long as his spirit core hasn't been absorbed, you can still be saved—so we have to Hurry up! Can you find the second generation of youkai besides me in a short time?"

Gu Shuo's body froze.

"I can't find it at all, right?" Su Xuan said firmly, "Let's make a good plan, go deep to lure the enemy, cooperate from inside to outside, absolutely no problem!"

Gu Shuo looked at him with complicated eyes, and he said in a hoarse voice, "Ah Xuan..."

……

Later, Su Xuantuo Ye Xingwei went back to the teahouse to inform Su Amei and A Tu, but he didn't want that when Ye Xing Wei came back, A Tu also flew over, yelling that since a generation of monsters was needed, then he would follow Let Su Xuan go together!

Together, the two monsters of the first generation would be absolutely invincible to the wizard. Wouldn't this move be more appropriate?

Su Xuan felt that it was very reasonable, and felt that A Tu really deserved to be his good brother.

Once you have a plan, you start to act, and you can't delay for a moment.

……

Later, this became the longest night in Su Xuan's life.

It was also the darkest night without the moon.

On the way to the suburbs of Beijing, Su Xuan could always feel Gu Shuo's eyes behind him.

At that time, he still couldn't understand why Gu Shuo was so solemn.

——No matter how powerful the sorcerer who seems to have devoured the spirit core is, it is impossible for him and the two demons, A Tu, to be defeated by one person. This is a fact.

He felt that Ah Shuo was just worrying too much, and he usually didn't seem to be such a worrying person, so he would be so abnormal at this time, and it really was because he cared about him, right?

Su Xuan was quite beautiful in his heart, and then he was patted on the head by A Tu, reminding him to concentrate.

——However, if Su Xuan could carefully recall what Gu Shuo said when the two were alone together, maybe he could understand... what Ah Shuo was thinking.

The world is in chaos.

History is an iterative process.

Each of its stages is not identical, but very similar.

The spiritual power between the heaven and the earth is constantly weakening, and both humans and monsters feel a sense of crisis, and thus start preying on monsters.

The world is turbulent, and killings are everywhere. In the end, the craziest person will definitely appear, and this craziest person will definitely set off a big war.

Of course, in the long course of history, those crazy people all failed in the end.

But the crazy thing about crazy people is that they always believe that they will be the one to succeed, and then they will act extreme and outrageous for this fight.

Gao Ruhan is the craziest one in this historical stage.

——Until Su Xuan and A Tu met a wounded second-generation demon on the road, and were lured by him to a certain mountain forest. On the way, the two of them clearly realized that this was the trap of the sorcerer, and they deliberately used their tricks. But the moment he stepped into the forest, he was surrounded by a powerful barrier, and Gao Ruhan appeared in front of them with a smile like that.

——It wasn't until that moment that Su Xuan suddenly understood what Gu Shuo was thinking about.

No, it should be said that the reality may be far crazier than Gu Shuo expected——

The spirit core that Gao Ruhan devoured was far beyond everyone's imagination.

A sorcerer only swallows a spiritual core, and his power may be raised to the level of an ordinary generation of monsters.

... But what if a wizard swallowed dozens of spiritual cores?

Even Su Xuan, who was not afraid of the heavens and the earth, was stunned for a moment.

No, he didn't even have time to be sluggish. As soon as he saw each other, he quickly fell into the illusion set by Gao Ruhan.

He saw countless people with knives facing him around him, and in shock, he fought back those people with all his strength, but he caught a glimpse of Ah Shuo standing alone in the siege not far away.

He yelled and ran towards Ah Shuo. When the man heard the voice, he turned to him and opened his arms to him.

Su Xuan flew away unprepared, and was stabbed in the chest by a hand, and froze on the spot.

He heard "Ah Shuo" say slowly: "Those dozens of spiritual cores still can't fuse together, I'm afraid there is something missing, let's try it with your heart."

In an instant, the hallucination disappeared, and Su Xuan saw Gao Ruhan's indifferent face again.

At that moment, Su Xuan thought——

It’s over.

Not good.

You can't let Ah Shuo see this scene.

He trembled, grabbed Gao Ruhan's hand with all his strength, held his breath, and suddenly burst out spiritual power. In an instant, Gao Ruhan's face changed, and the hand he pulled out was also clenched inadvertently. With half a heart.

And Su Xuan half-kneeled on the ground, coughing up blood.

In the next second, he heard Ah Tu shouting sharply after waking up: "Ah Xuan!"

The spiritual power surged towards Gao Ruhan, Gao Ruhan let out a "tsk" and dodged away.

Hold on, hold on.

Su Xuan's eyes went black for a while, and he quickly used his spiritual power to build the missing half heart. This half-truth and half-fake heart was beating wildly, as if it would burst at any moment.

Su Xuan kept taking deep breaths, deep breaths, he thought of A Tu who was fighting at this moment, Su Amei who stayed in the capital, and Gu Shuo who was blocked by the barrier at this moment.

Su Xuan would never die so easily.

Don't underestimate him, you bastard.

Return all his half heart and Ah Shuo's Aye——

He gritted his teeth, completely stabilized the heart in his chest, held his breath, and rushed forward to join hands with A Tu to deal with Gao Ruhan.

Gao Ruhan was indeed very powerful, Su Xuan had never met such a powerful wizard.

He and Atu worked hard to shatter the barrier together with Gu Shuo who was outside the barrier, and the night guards also rushed in and joined the melee.

Su Xuan was sent flying by Gao Ruhan, Gu Shuofei caught him, stared at him closely and asked, "Ah Xuan, are you alright?"

Su Xuan had already wiped away the coughed up blood, so he naturally shook his head at that time, pretending nothing happened, and said in a hoarse voice, "It's okay, don't worry, Ah Shuo, I'm fine!"

Gu Shuo looked at him steadily for a while, and said, "Ah Xuan, I said that if one day I fall into a coma again, I hope to see you intact when I wake up."

Su Xuan was startled.

Gu Shuo hugged him into his arms, and said softly, "As long as you are fine... Next, leave it to us."

After saying that, he looked at Gao Ruhan who was in the battle, his eyes darkened.

……

If Su Xuan could recall earlier what Gu Shuo had said when the two of them were alone...then maybe he would have understood earlier what the man was thinking about.

And if Su Xuan could see Gu Shuo's expression earlier when he said this, then maybe he could have predicted Gu Shuo's plan earlier.

This man always thinks one step ahead of him.

Dimly lit mountains.

The air smelled of blood.

There was a surge of spiritual power, strong winds, shouts, groans, and roars overlapped.

In this chaotic scene, the last thing Su Xuan saw was the scene where Gu Shuo stretched out his hand to hold Gao Ruhan's chest, and slammed the latter on the rock wall.

After experiencing such a big battle at that time, everyone suffered injuries to varying degrees, but Gao Ruhan was not dead yet.

After being hit by such a blow, Gao Ruhan choked out a mouthful of blood. He roared, and his spiritual power became stronger again. It was so difficult to deal with, all the night guards began to feel desperate, and Ah Tu also spat, and said in a low voice. Swear a few words.

However, Gu Shuo's hand did not let go of Gao Ruhan.

Su Xuan was stunned, and was about to go up to help Gu Shuo, but Gao Ruhan suddenly screamed, his spiritual power was in chaos!

This spiritual power seemed to be collapsing, Su Xuan was stunned, he didn't know what Gu Shuo had done, but before he had time to be surprised, he noticed Gu Shuo's pale face.

"...Ah Shuo!" Su Xuan's expression changed drastically.

The man seemed to hear the voice and turned his head.

It was a very gentle look.

Also full of apology.

Immediately, dozens of spiritual cores overflowed from Gao Ruhan's body.

Those spiritual cores that belonged to a generation of monsters that had not yet been absorbed by him finally found a chance to struggle and escape from his confinement, and attacked him with all their strength. In such an end, Gao Ruhan let out a ferocious face and let out a roar ——It blew itself up!

Gu Shuo was submerged in the flames.

Su Xuan's mind was about to split, he opened his mouth to scream, and rushed forward but was blown away by the oncoming wind and waves.

At the same time, Wan Shu collapsed.

There are many things that Su Xuan figured out later.

For example, if Gao Ruhan wanted to fuse those dozens of spiritual cores, he must have wanted to refine a complete spiritual core, but he hadn't succeeded yet.

Unsuccessful may mean that you haven't started at all, or it may be half-successful.

And if he succeeds halfway, it means that he only has half a spiritual core.

——Then his situation is exactly the same as that of Gu Shuo.

Unlike a generation of monsters, a mortal with powerful spiritual power in his body would be fine if he didn't have a spiritual core, but if he only had half a spiritual core, that half spiritual core would be a dose of poison instead.

As long as it is easily disturbed, Gao Ruhan's spiritual power will be violent like Ah Shuo, and if the fluctuation is more severe, he will self-destruct and die.

This was probably the last thing Gu Shuo did.

He connected his spiritual veins with Gao Ruhan.

However, while disturbing Gao Ruhan's spiritual power, he couldn't escape the self-destruction of this wave of spiritual power.

But Gao Ruhan had to be killed.

This person's power and madness are beyond everyone's imagination. Once he is allowed to escape, and when he becomes stronger again and sneaks into the capital, the consequences will be disastrous.

Not to mention that Gu Ruqing was still held by Gao Ruhan, it was difficult for them to capture Gao Ruhan alive, so they had to kill him on the spot.

So, things ended up like this.

And what about Gao Ruhan?

During the battle, he once smiled meaningfully at Gu Shuo and said, "How is Gu Weitong?"

Presumably, he has been in the capital for a long time, knows Gu Shuo's identity, and even more Gu Shuo's secret - this is probably the reason why he has acted so crazy recently. He already knows the danger of half a spiritual core, and is eager to refine it into a complete one. spirit core.

However, what now?

Gao Ruhan disappeared.

In that wave of self-explosion, everyone was blown away by the turbulent flow of spiritual power.

Supporting his body, Su Xuan shouted A Tu and Ah Shuo hoarsely in the forest in the dawn of the sky, but he couldn't see anyone.

Until he stumbled under his feet and rolled down a small hill. When he raised his head from the pile of leaves, he saw a figure lying quietly on the ground not far away——

His pupils constricted suddenly, he quickly got up and ran over to help the man up.

Gu Shuo closed his eyes tightly and remained motionless.

Su Xuan called softly twice, but got no response.

He felt Gu Shuo's breath trembling with his fingertips. Although the breath was weak, it was still there, and Su Xuan heaved a sigh of relief.

But when he probed around the spiritual power in Gu Shuo's body, he froze.

Those spiritual power scattered around Gu Shuo's limbs, about to tear this body apart.

Once it is torn apart, no one can save Hui Shuo.

Su Xuan hugged Gu Shuo tightly in his arms, staring straight at the void, his heart beating wildly.

For a moment, Su Xuan's mind was blank.

In fact, although Su Xuan is already in his twenties, probably because he lived in the mountains and forests for the first 20 years, he seems to be living too naively.

He didn't know that people's hearts are sinister, until he followed Su Amei into the capital and set foot in the mortal world.

He didn't know that no matter whether it was monsters, wizards or mortals, they all wanted to eat monsters and obtain spiritual power, until he was involved in an incident in Beijing.

He didn't even know that the unstable world that Gu Shuo said was literally what it meant—chaos, disorder, madness, and greed.

Unrest can happen at any time.

A mere sorcerer, after learning how to devour spiritual cores, can restrain them to such an extent.

He...he should have moved his head earlier and thought about what Ah Shuo said, right?

But, so what?

It's not that the world will be different if he thinks about it.

Su Xuan just stayed like this for a while, then slowly tightened his hands that hugged Gu Shuo, and his eyes changed slightly.

At some point, there was a sound of flapping wings, and then A Tu landed in front of him, and said in surprise: "Ah Xuan, I've been looking for you for a long time, are you all right? Gu Lanyu...here, is he all right? "

Su Xuan said softly: "Ah Tu, if there is no spiritual power in this world and everyone is an ordinary mortal, shouldn't this kind of thing happen? What is it that devours monsters and spiritual cores? How can a mortal still try to do so in vain? Is it possible to become a fairy in this way?"

A Tu opened his mouth and said: "...As long as there is a difference in spiritual power, there will always be someone who wants to be the most powerful one."

"So why is there a distinction between monsters and mortals in this world? Why does the natural spiritual power between heaven and earth fade? Since it is going to fade, why not have it from the very beginning?"

Su Xuan asked in confusion, but Ah Tu couldn't answer.

Immediately, Su Xuan twitched the corners of his lips and said, "Forget it, no matter what happens in this world, I will live in my own way."

And the person he wants, he will never let him die.

Su Xuan gently touched Gu Shuo's face, and said in a low voice, "Ah Shuo, this is not considered breaking my promise. You said that you would usually wake up in at least seven days, but with your current body, you can't even sleep for an hour." I can't make it through. So when you wake up, don't be angry with me."

Ah Tu hesitated: "Ah Xuan, you want to..."

Su Xuan gently closed his eyes.

"Ah Shuo said that he did not know how long later he possessed his body. A year ago in Chunyue Pavilion, Ah Qi also saw the possessed Ah Shuo with a 'little lady' who looked very much like me. "Su Xuan said softly, "So, whether it's me or him, we must have lived a good life today and lived a good life."

"Ah Shuo will definitely be able to use my spirit core."

……

——It’s just that Su Xuan never thought that the so-called them who don’t know how long will come from the future more than 1000 years later.

Later, the two of them separated for such a long time.

In reality, in the apartment, Su Xuan opened his eyes, and tears rolled down from the corners of his eyes.

Gu Shuo raised his face, frowned and called out, "Ah Xuan, are you awake?"

Su Xuan stretched out his hands and hugged him tightly, unable to speak a word.
