Xianjun's stand-in ran away

It was a candle dragon.

——A candle dragon that has long been extinct in the realm of self-cultivation, but survived in a desperate place like Nether Abyss where turbid air gathers, and has survived from ancient times to the present.

Wei Lan has long known that there is a candle dragon sleeping here.

Because of the characteristics of the candle dragon tending to the shade and avoiding light, the lantern moss that grows wantonly in the deep abyss dare not approach this pond at all, but occasionally there will be monsters going to the pond to drink water, which accidentally awakens the candle dragon, and the candle dragon will poke its head out Come, eat the uninvited guests who disturb your sleep.

This scene was firmly engraved in Lantern Moss' collective memory. After Wei Lan saw it, she had the idea of ​​bringing Lu Mingsi here.

He knew that what Lu Mingsi was chasing after was not the real body, and a Candle Dragon, even if he was already old and frail, was enough to get rid of him, who couldn't fully display the strength of the immortal.

□□Falling into the depths of the abyss, the damage to the soul and the erosion of the turbid air are enough to make Lu Mingsi unable to devote energy to continue hunting him for a period of time, and what he needs to pay is to endure a period of time in the candle dragon It's just the pain of being digested in the abdominal cavity.

Compared with continuing to entangle with Lu Mingsi, he would rather choose to be eaten by Zhulong and get rid of him once and for all.And after losing a sub-soul by himself, based on Lu Mingsi's pride, shouldn't he entangle him ignorantly again?

After all, to him, the only special thing about him is that he is [-]% similar to that person, but he is not that person after all, so there is no need for Lu Ming to humiliate a substitute.

Wei Lan thought so, but being able to lure Lu Mingsi into the trap so smoothly was somewhat unexpected.

——In his impression, Lu Mingsi was not a person who would underestimate the enemy. He was promoted to the Immortal Venerable Realm through countless fights, and he was extremely sensitive to danger.

Perhaps it should be said... This time, Lu Mingsi stepped into the trap on his own initiative.

After Zhulong appeared, Wei Lan was very surprised by what he did.

Zhulong was awakened by the aura on Lu Mingsi's body, angrily got out of the lair, and directly breathed out towards Wei Lan.

The tumbling magic flame spewed out from the huge mouth like magma, and came round, Wei Lan's eyes flashed surprise for a moment, and then he was relieved.

If you can die under the breath of Zhulong, it is naturally much better than being swallowed by him and slowly digested.

——It will save a lot of suffering.

So he closed his eyes, raised his head slightly, his slender eyelashes were dyed red, and looked more fragile, but his expression was gentle, and he even smiled slightly, as if enjoying this kind of presence A sense of crisis wandering between life and death.

In the darkness, Wei Lan felt extremely peaceful.

But what he ushered in was not a magic flame that could melt everything, but a warm and vigorous body with a beating heart.

Lu Mingsi threw him to the ground, and his aura condensed into a layer of hood covering the air, blocking Candle Dragon's breath.

When Wei Lan opened her eyes, she didn't expect to see such a scene.

——The red flame stream, which is as gorgeous as the aurora, surges downward along the semicircular sky, like layers of ocean waves, rolling and rolling. every corner around.

Very beautiful.

Wei Lan opened her mouth, but suddenly forgot what she wanted to say.

With such flames flowing down, he and Lu Mingsi are like two little bugs accidentally sealed in the amber, in another independent world, watching the amber gradually solidify and harden, and want to stop their lives in the amber forever. this second.

It was a kind of extreme loneliness, but because there was another person by his side, it seemed nothing to be afraid of.

Under the illumination of the fireworks, Wei Lan suddenly remembered a certain memory from her previous life.

The existence of the Pure World is very special. It is in an independent small world and does not blend with the mortal world. However, this mustard seed of Sumina can be moved.

For a while, Lu Mingsi moved the Pure World Realm to the vicinity of the most prosperous Liuguang City in the Cultivation Realm. It was a memory that Wei Lan missed the most in a hundred years.

There are high altars in the city, which were originally used to worship immortals and gods. After Lu Mingsi unified the cultivation world, this extravagant and wasteful custom was banned, but the city residents who have formed the habit will still be there. It turned out that on the day of worshiping the immortal gods, people gathered near the altar and held a grand ceremony in the name of celebration.

——It just changed from pleasing others to pleasing yourself.

The height of the altar can be seen from the Jingtian world outside the city, but the distance is a bit far away. Wei Lan, who is looking at the back mountain, can only hear a few tunes floating in, and wants to see clearly The performance on the stage is impossible.

Knowing that there is a celebration in the city, Wei Lan, like a glutton who has been hooked, couldn't restrain his desire to watch the excitement no matter what, so he happily invited Lu Mingsi to the city together festival.

But the reason why Lu Mingsi moved the Pure World to the vicinity of Liuguang City was naturally because he had business to deal with—it was precisely because of the undercurrents surging in the darkness under the prosperity of Liuguang City that he moved the Pure World here .

This was something he had discussed with the City Lord of Liuguang City in advance, and the celebration... was also a bait to lure the enemy.

Knowing the real purpose behind the celebration, Lu Mingsi naturally couldn't accept Wei Lan's invitation, let alone let Wei Lan go to Liuguang City alone knowing that there would be a dangerous situation there.

Fish and dragons are mixed there, and it is impossible to say that something will happen that will endanger Wei Lan.

But he felt that there was no need to explain these things to Wei Lan.

He just rejected Wei Lan's request.

Wei Lan didn't need to keep asking herself if she could go alone, she already knew his attitude.

His beautiful amber eyes dimmed, but he didn't make a fuss, but accepted his decision docilely, and returned to the bedroom alone.

After returning to the back mountain, he did not stay in the dormitory, but came out and sat on the protruding cliff of the back mountain, with his feet hanging down, looking in the direction of Liuguang City, listening to the occasional sounds, thinking about What is going on on the stage.

——At that time, there were no conflicts between Wei Lan and Lu Mingsi that could not be resolved. He was considerate of Ah Si's difficulties as the Minghui Immortal Monarch, and was afraid of his embarrassment, so he didn't make trouble, and didn't ask him Accompanying myself, I just endured everything in silence.

What he thinks is that in the future, when Ah Si is not busy, he will invite Ah Si to participate in the festival together. Presumably at that time... Ah Si will not refuse him, right?

Wei Lan sat on the cliff with her legs crossed, imagining the future where he and Ami would travel to various places in the future, her amber eyes were bright and full of vitality, and her face was full of happiness.

Later that day, Lu Mingsi gave him a huge surprise.

When Wei Lan sat on the cliff and looked at Liuguang City, the protective cover on the back mountain suddenly changed from invisible to tangible, and the performance on the altar of Liuguang City in the distance was presented in the form of a light curtain from a condescending angle. presented on the shield.

For Wei Lan, it was as if the whole world stretched out from under his feet, presenting the grandest performance in front of him, and all the splendor was only for him.

Ami did it!

Realizing this, Wei Lan narrowed her eyes and smiled, the sadness in her heart suddenly disappeared.

Although what Wei Lan wanted more was for Ah Si to be by his side, and the two of them to experience the excitement and beauty of the world together, but he knew that Ah Si had a special status and he couldn't be so capricious.

This is good enough, he is very satisfied.

Liuguang City deserves to be the most prosperous city in the cultivation world. There are barbarian dancers from the Western Regions, the most famous theater troupe from the Central Region, and even blessing dances presented by saintesses from the Snowy Shrine... Dangerous It was the first time for Lan to see the entertainment activities in the mortal world. She couldn't take her eyes off her eyes, and she was more focused than anyone else.

A day passed in the blink of an eye. For Wei Lan, even if Ah Si was not by her side, it was a good enough day.

He is very open-minded: the existence of the light curtain is Ah Si's intention, and from a certain point of view, he is already by his side.

Just when Wei Lan was content to see the end of the ceremony, when everything was about to end, the nine-story Tongtian altar... suddenly exploded.

There was a loud bang, smoke and dust rose up, like a gray-black dragon rising from the ground, sharp metal fragments splashed around, and the people under the altar panicked.

Just before heavy casualties were about to occur, the saint of the Snowy Shrine suddenly made a move. She waved a veil, and countless pieces of transparent snowflake-like ice flakes floated in mid-air, blocking those fragments and preventing them from harming People attending the ceremony.

And the moment the altar exploded, a blazing stream of flames shot up from the ground of the altar, directly burning the protection erected by the saint, and a burly figure could be vaguely seen in the center of the stream of flames.

The flame flow formed a huge tornado, and after destroying the protection of the maiden of the snowy shrine and injuring her, it immediately spread to the surroundings, intending to swallow the lives and flesh of everyone around, and finally gave back to the person who manipulated the flame flow The murderer behind the scenes sucked up the lives of the people in the city and sent him on that path of magic that reached heaven.

Unfortunately, he was destined not to succeed.

A beam of silvery sword energy descended from the sky across the sky, tearing apart the flame tornado and splitting the figure in the center into two.

It seemed effortless.

The fire tornado that lost its controller exploded immediately, and countless large or small flame flowers bloomed in the air, and collided with the invisible sword energy in the next moment, burst into smaller fireworks, and gradually disappeared in the air middle.

The scene was so magnificent that Wei Lan was stunned for a moment, and couldn't tell whether it was a scheduled performance...or something really happened.

Amidst the fiery trees and silver flowers all over the sky, Lu Mingsi took a step forward, tore off the light curtain of the protective cover of the back mountain, and appeared in front of Wei Lan in front of the sky filled with fireworks.

He raised his eyebrows slightly, and his murderous face was stained with warmth, which softened his too sharp lines.

"Lanlan, do you like the fireworks I prepared specially for you?"

It's been so long ago...

Wei Lan just stared blankly at the fireworks-like flames outside the cover, and suddenly forgot the passage of time.

It wasn't until an inconspicuous crack suddenly appeared on the aura cover, splitting the red streamer, causing Lu Mingsi to groan in pain, and the slender eyebrows on his handsome face were tightly knit together, Wei Lan returned slowly. Come on.

He turned his head to look at Lu Mingsi, his eyes were dazed, and he murmured as if in a dream: "...why?"

——Why do you want to save me?Why did you step into it even though you knew it was a trap?Why... are you so attached to me?

Wei Lan didn't understand what happened to Lu Mingsi.

Obviously everything went according to his plan, but he was not happy.

He felt empty and a little twisted.

Wanting Lu Mingsi to get the hell out of here doesn't seem to have enough reason.

In such a similar scene, he once thought it was Lu Mingsi's expression of love for him, and he was only happy in his heart, but now... he just finds it ridiculous.

What kind of affection is Lu Mingsi pretending to be?

Wei Lan's shaken eyes returned to calm, and she stared at Lu Mingsi's dark eyes trembling slightly due to pain, and asked again: "Why do you want to save me?"

"Huh?" Lu Mingsi let out a dumb laugh, his brows furrowed together and then he relaxed. He replied with a low smile, "Because dying in the candle dragon's breath... would be very painful."

Wei Lan's eyebrows twitched, trying to maintain that calmness, "What?"

Lu Mingsi moved his arm supporting his neck, as if he wanted to touch his hair, but for various reasons, he finally retracted, did not touch Wei Lan, but got closer, closer Until Wei Lan could almost feel the temperature emanating from his body.

It was warm compared to the cold stone beneath the body.

Lu Mingsi's breathing gradually became heavy, with a hint of forbearance, but he still patiently explained to Wei Lan: "The candle dragon is an ancient alien species that has disappeared in the cultivation world for many years, so you don't know enough about it. Different from other monsters, the candle dragon has a very special form of existence. In ancient times, it was called Zhu Jiuyin who roamed the long river of time..."

He patiently explained, his pale face reflected a little tenderness by the crimson light above his head.

"The breath of the candle dragon seems to be flames, but it is not. It is a power of time originating from the source of the power of the candle dragon. People who come into contact with the breath of the candle dragon will experience in just a short moment from birth to old age. Weakness, bone and flesh peeling off, and then death, and the time and life that was taken away will be swallowed and absorbed by the candle dragon to extend its own lifespan."

His voice is gentle and powerful, and when he speaks, people are unconsciously fascinated by it.

Wei Lan was in a daze for a moment, and then felt a little scared.

Indeed, he still knows too little about this world...

In the sky, Lu Mingsi was gradually bent down by the powerful attack from the candle dragon. He was like a cattail grass that had been fighting against the heaven and earth, as if it would break in the next second under such a mighty force, but he carried it stiffly. over here.

Lu Mingsi trembled and took a deep breath, lowered his head slightly, as if he wanted to kiss Wei Lan's forehead, but he was concerned about the power in his body, so he finally didn't touch Wei Lan, just let the hot breath blow Wei Lan's eyelashes were bent, making his amber eyes clouded with mist.

He said softly: "Lan Lan, release the control over this double."

!

Wei Lan's pupils suddenly dilated, and she blurted out: "You know?!"

Lu Mingsi smiled silently and did not speak, which was a tacit agreement.

"Since you know...then why do you still want to follow me here?"

Wei Lan's chest heaved because her heartbeat became violent. Recently, she was almost close to Lu Mingsi, but as she breathed, the distance widened in the next moment, as if there was an invisible barrier, keeping them together forever. Can't really get close.

"Well, good question..." Lu Mingsi tried his best to maintain a chuckle, and became a little weak. His body, which was solid like a real person, gradually turned into a pure jade color, and those seemingly soft lips also Without blood, although the arc is smooth, it has the coldness of a dead thing.

"Because you are Wei Lan, because you are right in front of my eyes, because there are not so many reasons..." He laughed hoarsely again.

As the deep and magnetic voice rang in his ears, Wei Lan saw a crack suddenly cracked on Lu Mingsi's face, like a flawless piece of beautiful jade that was suddenly chiseled by an invisible hammer, and there was a flaw.

The crack spread along his face and quickly spread to his body.

Obviously there was no sound, but Wei Lan felt a thrilling "crack" sound closely in his heart, he silently stared at Lu Mingsi, unable to utter all the words that were about to come out.

"Hey, Lan Lan, just this time, don't contradict me again... Give up this double." Lu Mingsi paused, with a bit of reluctance in his eyes, "Don't bear what you shouldn't because of me. Suffering."

Wei Lan's eyes widened slightly, her heart suddenly seemed to be hit hard by something.

It was sour and astringent, making his eye sockets slightly hot.

He was silent for a while, then said softly, "Okay."

The voice was extremely subtle, ethereal and soft, and all the teeth and claws disappeared in an instant.

Lu Mingsi's black eyes became softer and softer, and he wanted to look at him for a while, but the right half of his face suddenly split open, and the eyes were divided into two halves from the middle, which narrowed his field of vision to only half.

...Can't hold it anymore?

Lu Mingsi sighed silently in his heart, and urged again: "Hurry up, Lan Lan."

Wei Lan gave a nasal "hmm", raised her head again, passed through Lu Mingsi's shoulders and neck, passed through his flying hair, and looked at the dazzling colorful streamer in the sky. Zhu Jiuyin's breath formed the last breath. Complicated fireworks were blooming in front of his eyes.

If it's really Amber... that's fine.

It's a pity that the cruelty they have to face in reality is far beyond the comparison of the two worms in amber.

Wei Lan's eyelashes trembled, and finally engraved that scene firmly in her heart, and then closed her eyes.

In the next moment, a wooden color that does not belong to humans appeared on his fair face, two small emerald green buds appeared from the tips of his ears, and his hair turned into leaves. That person disappeared out of thin air.

Instead, there is a section of forearm length, lush wood.

Lu Mingsi looked at the pair of phoenix blood stone earrings that bounced off the stone, and laughed dumbly: "What a cunning little fox..."

His voice was no longer human, and there was a rustling sound of rubbing stones.

There were more and more cracks on Lu Mingsi's body, spreading all over his body. In the end, the spirit shield full of cracks exploded in mid-air, and the red flames swallowed everything.

The world returns to darkness.

Zhulong thought he could have a full meal, but he didn't expect that in the end, he didn't even taste a mouthful of meat, and the two humans in front of him disappeared inexplicably.

What a fraud.

"Roar--"

An angry roar echoed underground, spreading into the unknown depth of darkness.

In the pure world, Lu Mingsi, who was sitting on the dark throne with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes, covered his mouth, and coughed violently.

He coughed so badly that blood spilled from between his fingers, adding a gloomy look to his stern face.

The Wunianyu Puppet split. The backlash of the body's fall was on him, causing a piece of his soul to be cut off directly. The tearing pain pulled every nerve in his body, making him feel that he was about to be crushed abruptly. Tear in half.

Lu Mingsi gritted his teeth and squeezed the armrest of the jade seat tightly. The veins on the back of his hands were bulging, and layers of cold sweat oozed out. It took two hours, until the pain eased, and I got used to the sense of incompleteness that would always accompany me.

——That's why Bai Xia didn't agree with him to divide the body and go deep into the abyss. Once the body is damaged, the harm to him is too great.

Lu Mingsi raised his hand and lightly twirled his fingertips, the bright red spot disappeared, and there was nothing abnormal except that his face was still a little pale.

But he knew that the injury that had been suppressed forcibly would not be healed. The turbidity of Mingyuan had already corroded him through the slight connection with the main body through the Wunian jade. He only suppressed the injury for a short time, and all these hidden dangers It will be detonated together when the fourth catastrophe, the heart demon catastrophe, appears.

These things were important, but none of them were his top concerns.

Wei Lan did not hesitate to risk the pain of being devoured by the candle dragon, but also wanted to lure his clone away and bury him in the depths of the abyss... Lan Lan, are you so unwilling to come back with him?

Lu Mingsi's heart sank little by little, and the vague guess before became more and more possible.

If that guess is true, is it possible for him to hug Wei Lan again?

Lu Mingsi sighed silently, and finally realized that if he didn't change, even if he did it all over again, the result would not change.

If he doesn't change, he will lose him after all...

Regardless of whether he can bear such a cruel ending.

The handsome man on the high seat was wearing a large black robe with gold patterns, and the dark collar made his face look like gold paper. He rubbed his aching forehead and thought about another matter that bothered him very much.

"...Curse, or poison? Or is it Gu?" Lu Mingsi frowned slightly, recalling all the wonders he knew, and couldn't help muttering to himself: "What the hell is that?"

After thinking for a long time, Lu Mingsi shook his head helplessly without finding any clues, and took a moment to slow down. After his face returned to rosy and no trace of injury could be seen, he waved his hand and took a photo from the jade table beside him. Shui Jing came and contacted Bai Xia.

Bai Xia was enjoying the rare leisure time without fighting, and went to the mortal world to listen to music, and suddenly received a communication from Lu Mingsi, a little dissatisfied with being interrupted: "...What are you doing? Are you busy catching, oh no , retreat?"

The corner of Lu Mingsi's mouth twitched, pretending not to hear her question.

"You send people to guard all the passages in and out of Mingyuan Pavilion in Suyuan Pavilion. If you find anything abnormal, please notify me immediately."
