[Sword III] Seeking Wings

The author has something to say: 1. Let me remind you again in the front row that the protagonists are not good people, and the three views of the characters in the article do not represent the three views of the author

The wind and snow barrier is a natural defense formed by the evil spirit domain when it senses that the captives are trying to escape.

Chi Xiao in the illusion is completely in the state of seven years old, weak and without martial arts, how can he resist such a violent cold.Shocked by the cold wind, he immediately vomited blood and fell down. No matter how persistent he was, he couldn't move forward.

However, it is not time to give up.

Now he can't get out of trouble by himself, but he can try to contact Tang Xiaoyi through the evil spirit network he is in.

She is the master of this realm, and could theoretically sense a part of it calling to her.

In addition, they are old friends with deep karma. When he first entered the forest, he took her to use the spell of pure heart, and had direct contact with her spiritual consciousness. In theory, the two of them had the basis of communication.

Although no one has actually done this before, it does not prevent Chi Xiao from immediately starting to try.

——Although he has a flawed state of mind for a while, his Taoism cultivation is still at the top of his peers, and with the help of Chixiao Honglian who stayed with Tang Xiaoyi, so as long as it is not impossible to use this kind of spiritual method, Both mean at least half certainty.

Half an hour later, dots of faint blue light began to gradually seep into the wind and snow barrier in front of him.

The connection was successful.

While the light spots increase, the wind and snow are also weakening.

In about two quarters of an hour, Tang Xiaoyi will enter the illusion through these light spots, and then end it with the authority of the land master.

But at this moment, all the light spots disappeared instantly without warning.

Tang Xiaoyi refused the summon.

A severe backlash hit immediately, and Chi Xiao lost consciousness after a burst of pain that almost tore his mind.

On the other side, Tang Xiaoyi and Modin continued to drive the grain truck, heading towards Luoyang along the official road.

Tang Xiaoyi now understands that the previous vision of the violent wolf tooth soldiers attacking in groups originally originated from her own deep consciousness.

Or, it can also be called conscience.

Because she knew that Chi Xiao was swallowed by the evil spirit of the forest, but her rationality was determined not to save him. The point deep in her heart was born because of this, and the lingering unbearable, uneasiness, and self-blame were multiplied because she was connected with the realm of illusion , until it affects the spike soldiers who have become living puppets, and wants to wake up her, who has deviated from her original heart.

When the Spikes attacked her, the rage on her face was her anger at herself.

Of course, in her own heart, the anger and contradictions are only very slight.

In fact, Tang Xiaoyi had figured it out when he first discovered Chi Xiao's disappearance, let Chi Xiao become a living puppet, and then manipulated him to go to Luoyang together.

First, he can fully exert his powerful combat power to kill the enemy soldiers, and save him from the pain of fighting with wounds while awake;

Second, it can help the Valley of the Wicked to successfully capture all the spoils of war, so that she will not face him head-on;

Thirdly, he will not suffer irreversible damage. After leaving the evil spirit area, he will naturally gradually wake up. With his master's medical skills, it is enough to repair him in a short time;

Therefore, this is the most appropriate approach in terms of emotion and reason.

It was so appropriate that even her conscience almost believed it.

In this decision, the last shadow that cannot be erased is only——

She loves him.

When drinking with Chi Xiao last night, Tang Xiaoyi didn't completely forget the incoherent drunken talk.

She hugged him, said she liked him, and wanted to have a relationship with him, all from the bottom of her heart.

Sincerely, when she fell asleep later, all she thought about in her dream was him.

It is no longer the gentle and considerate, cute little brother Chunyang ten years ago, but now the cold-tempered and hostile Daoist Chi Xiao of the Haoqi League.

In the dream, he had the same solemn expression as in reality, his voice was indifferent, he could make his mind, he would force himself to be a hero, he would fight openly and secretly with her back and forth, but he couldn't laugh.

She is different from the reality and full of kindness, she is willing to be close to him, hold his cold hand to warm him, patiently reason with him when he loses his temper, and almost empathizes with him when he is hurt and endures the pain , with all my tenderness and care.

She would even try various methods, using the spirit of concentration and tenacity that she had in the past when she was dealing with serious affairs, just to make him a little happier.

After a long time, it finally succeeded.

In reality, Tang Xiaoyi had never seen the adult Chi Xiao smile, and his smile in the dream was her imagination.

A little distorted, not pretty.

But in her view, it was as if the gate of heaven opened, and everything in the world paled in comparison at that moment.

At that time, Tang Xiaoyi, who was in a great mood and without the constraints of reason, even went a step further to make up for it.

Naobu himself and Chi Xiao looked at each other intently, interlocked their fingers, and hugged each other neck to neck.

until……

want him.

But when he really reached out to uncover Chi Xiao's skirt, he saw the criss-cross wounds on his body.

——That was poked out by her with the Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needle.

The dripping bloodstains arranged along the meridians seemed to form hideous seals, showing the cruel crimes she committed against her lover.

The beautiful picture suddenly shattered.

Tang Xiaoyi woke up.

The moment she woke up from the dream, she felt guilt and pain, but soon, she completely sealed them up, and rationally decided not to care about her lover who was being swallowed by evil spirits.

——Although she can't deny it at all, it may be possible to argue with those three reasons for allowing people to become living puppets, treating temporary teammates of the opposing camp, or even casual acquaintances of the opposing camp.

Treating a lover like this is a felony that will never be admitted by conscience, and there is no excuse for it.

——Since you love him, you should protect him regardless of gain or loss, take care of him, prevent him from any harm, and prevent him from being unhappy at all.

But she couldn't do that.

——The more you put your feelings and ideals on the same sincerity, the more you can use the same meticulousness and seriousness to distinguish the priorities of the two fairly and clearly.

Out of such considerations, Tang Xiaoyi successfully defeated the berserk mace - she thought it was only a narrow, so-called "conscience" condemnation.

Especially later, she realized that the inexplicable interference in her consciousness was actually from an external force—that was Chi Xiao, who had not completely lost her mind, trying to contact her through his superb Taoism and bring her into his magical fantasy to get him out of trouble.

Since he is so powerful, it is better to temporarily become a living puppet for her to use safely.

At that time, Tang Xiaoyi thought so, and broke the mind connection with his lover.

***

Three days later, Tang Xiaoyi and Moding arrived at a checkpoint area in the official road inside the mass grave.

Although the civilian husbands and their managers under the control of poisonous gas have no self-awareness, they will still check the customs clearance certificate according to the usual workflow.

Because the common people's consciousness is weak, if they are directly stripped from this man-made poisonous gas and listened to their own manipulation, it may hurt them. Tang Xiaoyi took out the seal that he got from the fall of Maple Leaf Zee, from Divine Strategy The general's customs clearance document.

The document was originally on Chi Xiao's body, but after Chi Xiao was injured and vomited blood, and the blood stained it accidentally, Tang Xiaoyi took it away and kept it for himself.

Now, although many of the documents are covered in red, if you look carefully, you can still see most of the handwriting.

However, the place is foggy, delirious, and the prosecutor who is particularly difficult to use in his eyes just can't see it.

He insisted on not letting the two go, and even planned to impound them in a black car.

When the stalemate was about to occur, a figure suddenly emerged from the forest.

Shence grassroots generals.

The man held the token in his hand and loudly ordered the checkpoint to be released.

The grain truck passed the checkpoint.

Tang Xiaoyi watched that magical strategy walk up to her.

He is awake.

***

After struggling several times, Chi Xiao woke up again from the pain and drowsiness.

In the middle of the night in the illusion, he was still seven years old, huddled alone in the main hall of Chunyang Laojun Palace where he couldn't see his fingers.

——That was the second half of his "abandoned by his parents" memory.

Back then, Chi Xiao didn't go after his parents who left with excuses, and the parents really didn't come back to look for him.

At first, he was quite stubborn, staying in place calmly, and managed to concentrate on reading the Taoist scriptures inscribed on the wall of the Laojun Palace, pretending that he was literate and savvy, and not sad at all.

However, at night, the pilgrims gradually dispersed, and the playful children were dragged home by their parents laughing and scolding, and he finally couldn't hold on anymore.

In a secluded corner, away from the sight of all the patrolling disciples in Chunyang, the seven-year-old child sat on the ground without any image and cried loudly, until he fell ill and passed out, and woke up alone again.

Even lying on the wooden table and wrapping everything that can be wrapped in the temple, the chill is still piercing.Now Chi Xiao could feel that he was having a high fever, his heart and lungs were in severe pain, but his mind was not stimulated to wake up, but became more and more drowsy, until he fell into the tranquility of dying.

In reality, he passed through this gate of hell and survived.

But in today's illusion, every such scene that would cause him to lose consciousness means that he is being further swallowed by the evil spirit, and may completely lose himself at any time, and will never be able to wake up again.

The only way to save himself at this time is to contact Tang Xiaoyi, who is the master of the illusion.

But she just rejected him.

He suffered backlash and there was no second chance.

Chi Xiao understood Tang Xiaoyi's thoughts, he didn't blame her.

——I just hate myself for being incompetent.

If his spells were stronger, it would be enough to pull her into the illusion before she realized it.

But he is not strong enough.

Therefore, without the "qualification" and "value" of regaining sobriety, he can only be reduced to the first living puppet from the Taoist sect in history, and is arbitrarily driven by the hostile camp.

——Just like back then, he would be abandoned by his parents because he was not "useful" enough.

Thinking in a daze, Chi Xiao's consciousness gradually faded.

But at this moment, a light suddenly appeared in the field of vision.

He opened his eyes and saw the main door of the main hall opened.

There was a fat middle-aged figure standing outside the door.

——That was his master, Shangguan Boyu, the true spirit of Lingxu.

The master held the candlestick, but he didn't use the candlelight to check the environment, but went straight to the corner of the wall, came to him, and picked him up carefully.

In reality, Chi Xiao didn't find him until morning when Shangguan Boyu opened the door.

But now, the content of the illusion is different from the memory.

The master found him in the middle of the night, just in time to rescue him from the crisis of becoming a living puppet completely.

Chi Xiao was surprised.There should only be negative content in the Heart Demon Realm. It stands to reason that he would not meet the mentor who can be said to have saved his life here.

In the illusion, there was an extra candlelight out of thin air.
