Holding hands, they walked down the earthen ladder to the entrance of the cave. The smell of moist soil came to them, and the mud was soft under their feet.

After descending the earthen ladder, there was a sudden wind in the cave, and a bright lamp on the left lighted up inexplicably, illuminating the whole cave.The two of them looked around, and saw that the entire hole was only a few meters long and wide, and they could see everything at a glance. There were mud walls on all sides, and there was no way forward.

Xie Liuchen didn't understand: "How to get there?"

Shang Lixing said: "It's just an illusion." He released a spell and hit it to the front right. An invisible wall in the air shook rapidly, rippling like water waves. After the brilliance dissipated, a winding passage behind the illusion appeared.

Shang Lixing withdrew his hand, and said: "The aura of the person who set up the illusion is very familiar. If I guess correctly, it is the person who was injured by me back then."

Xie Liuchen had never heard him talk about this, so he asked curiously, "What happened back then?"

"That happened after you left," Shang Lixing led him to the aisle, and said, "That year, there were seven sects who crossed the sea to the north and were attacked by sea beasts. Later, Bai Xuan and I performed the soul search method, An unknown divine consciousness was found in Guanzhu Xue's sea of ​​consciousness in Taiqing Temple and wounded him, but unfortunately the sea of ​​consciousness was shaken and he escaped."

Xie Liuchen found it very strange, and asked again: "When did it happen?"

Shang Lihang briefly recalled, "It was in September of the year you left."

"September, September..." Xie Liuchen muttered, suddenly startled in his heart, just about to ask again, suddenly, there was a sharp pain in the sea of ​​consciousness, and in the buzzing sound, he could vaguely hear someone calling him: " Xie Xiandi...Xie Xiandi..."

The voice was distant and dreamy, male and not male, female and not female, with a kind of bewitching meaning, which made Xie Liuchen's mind in a trance, and stood on the spot in a daze for a moment, as if in a dream.

Seeing this, Shang Lixing hurriedly pinched the acupoints on his palm, Xie Liuchen regained his consciousness and said, "He is calling me..."

Shang Lixing frowned: "Who is calling you?"

But Xie Liuchen pulled out the hand that was held by him, and tightly blocked his ears with both hands, intending to dispel the voice in his head, he shouted: "Senior Brother Shang, Senior Brother Shang, let's go out quickly, shall we!"

"He's talking in my head, he's trying to control me!"

Shang Lixing immediately understood that it was the people behind who were trying to invade Xie Liuchen's sea of ​​consciousness!

Shang Lixing hurriedly poured a burst of true energy into Xie Liuchen's altar: "Thank you, junior brother, concentrate and meditate!" He was even more nervous than Xie Liuchen.He has personally seen people controlled by the Sea of ​​Consciousness, their behavior and affairs are completely out of his control, and only a firm mind can break it.He thanked his younger brother for his age, and his mind has not yet settled down, so he is easily bewitched by this kind of temptation, so he should not hesitate to devote all his attention to him.

Xie Liuchen's body was trembling, cold sweat was pouring down rapidly, his eyes were full of strange things, like falling into a big dream, he couldn't hear Shang Lixing's voice, but he could feel the true energy pouring in from the spirit platform, he restrained his consciousness and settled down slightly.

After a while, the voice that pierced through the sea of ​​consciousness gradually receded until his body returned to his control. He took a deep breath as if reborn from a catastrophe, and when he looked up, he found that Shang Lixing had deep eyes, staring at something behind him.

He was about to turn his head to see what Shang Lixing was looking at, but Shang Lixing suddenly pushed him away, and his figure jumped.He fell to the side, and just about to get up, a black mist hit his face.With a loud cry, he summoned Wu Chou's monster power for the first time, and shouted back his stern words.

When the black mist dissipated again, Shang Lixing's figure disappeared.

Xie Liuchen suddenly became frightened: "Senior Brother Shang, Senior Brother Shang, where are you?!"

He rushed to the place where Shanglihang disappeared, and slapped the mud wall vigorously, the dirt and dust fell down, but there was nothing at all.

He kept hissing, "Senior Brother Shang!"

"Come out! Fu Changning, get out!"

The screeching sound spread throughout the cave, bringing endless echoes, but no one responded.

He reacted abruptly, his eyes fixed on the channel from which the echo came, and then flew into the channel.

After walking a few steps, we came to the end of the passage. The light in the cave was dim and very dry. Unlike the humid atmosphere outside, there was a strong smell of books here.

Facing the entrance of the cave, there is a long stone platform.

There is a person sitting on the stone platform.

Seeing this person, Xie Liuchen rushed forward with an angry roar, "Fu Changning, return Senior Brother Shang to me!"

Unexpectedly, the person on the stone platform slapped his palm lightly, drawing a dazzling white light, blocking him five steps away.

Fu Changning took the time to sit on the stone platform, raised half of his eyelids, and said calmly: "Xie Xiandi, I haven't seen you for 50 years, and you still haven't changed at all."

"Who is your brother Xie Xian?"

Xie Liuchen snorted coldly, and also used his demon power to fight against him. The demon power lasted for a lifetime, and a soft white light suddenly appeared all over his body.Once the demon power had won, Xie Liuchen rushed to the stone platform, strangled Fu Changning tightly by the throat, and asked in a stern voice, "Where did you get Brother Shang?"

Fu Changning coughed violently, his face like gold paper: "No, I didn't expect Xie Xiandi to be hiding something..."

Where is Xie Liuchen in the mood to reminisce with him, his fingers tightened suddenly: "Tell me, where is he?"

Fu Changning's face turned even paler, and he said intermittently: "For, for brother, I..."

Xie Liuchen saw that he was coughing miserably, and vaguely looked like he was sick and weak in Zhoujia Village in the past, thinking about his old love, he loosened his fingers slightly.However, the stalemate scene right now woke him up again. He had few friends in his life, so he treated Fu Changning with all his heart, but he didn't know that the other party was feigning death.He took a few steps back, looked at Fu Changning with the eyes of a stranger, and asked in surprise, "Who on earth are you? What are you planning? What is your purpose in deceiving me?"

Until now, Fu Changning was still in the mood to show a smiling face. He said with a smile, "I am Fu Changning, and Fu Changning is me. What else would I have? Brother Xie Xian, I have never lied to you."

Xie Liuchen sneered: "Then why did you lie to me by feigning death? I regard you as a good friend, but I never thought you would plan so much behind the scenes. Say, who else is your companion?" With extremely fast hands, he tapped hundreds of times in a row, sealing off all the orifices in Fu Changning's body.

Fu Changning's expression changed when he was halfway through the smile, and the smile slowly froze, turning into a weird smile.

Once the mask of hypocrisy is removed, it will no longer be the gentle face of the past.

Instead of answering Xie Liuchen's question, he sneered and said, "Xiandi Xie, do you think you can trap me like this?"

Xie Liuchen didn't like to listen to nonsense, and threatened: "You are in my hands now, can you still escape? Tell me, what is your purpose? Where is Senior Brother Shang?"

Fu Changning looked at him half lying on the stone platform, and said indifferently: "Brother Xie Xian, I actually envy you very much as a brother. You have a good background, a high talent in cultivation, and there are so many people who help you, protect you, and support you -"

Xie Liuchen didn't understand why he said these irrelevant words, so he interrupted him with a cold face: "Stop talking nonsense, where is Senior Brother Shang?"

Fu Changning still thought of himself and said, "It's not like being a brother, who was born with a mediocre body. No matter how hard you try to kowtow to the world, it will be futile. You will never be able to step into the avenue of practice, and you will always be a mortal who lives and dies forever."

He laughed at himself again: "Why, why are some people able to enjoy longevity from birth, while my brother, I am just an ordinary mortal after nine deaths?"

Xie Liuchen heard a strange meaning, he thought carefully about Fu Changning's words, and suddenly, his whole body was shaken, and the confusion of the past few days was instantly cleared, and he couldn't believe it: "You killed Qiu'er and his daughter?"

Fu Changning finally stopped talking to himself, raised his head in surprise, and met his angry eyes. After a while, his face returned to normal: "Yes, their father and daughter died at my hands. I hate people who get something for nothing! That girl died!" You deserve it! Don’t think that you can practice without doing anything if you have the talent for cultivation! Hmph, that old immortal cries and mourns all day long, listening to upset, so I kindly sent him to see my daughter for my brother!”

Xie Liuchen stood on the ground in a daze, and it took him a long time to accept this terrible truth. He stared at Fu Changning, and squeezed out a sentence through his teeth: "Then what are you now? You have lived for 50 years without changing your appearance. What are you?" Is it a person? Is it a monster?"

The corner of Fu Changning's mouth twitched mockingly: "Heh, what difference does it make if it's a human or a monster? After decades of painstaking efforts, I finally fulfilled my little long-cherished wish. From then on, my name, Fu Changning, will be passed down from generation to generation, thousands of miles across rivers and mountains."

Xie Liuchen scolded angrily: "Listen to what you said, where have you read all the sage books?"

Fu Changning said with a chuckle: "Sage, haha, if a sage is determined to save the world, how can he see all beings suffering and perishing without liberation?"

Xie Liuchen remained silent.

Fu Changning said again: "Brother Xie Xian, do you know why my brother killed Qiu'er back then, but didn't attack you?"

Xie Liuchen pursed his lips, and Fu Changning said: "When you said that you were willing to accompany Wei to live in Zhoujia Village, Wei was very happy. Wei has been lonely for many years, and it is rare to have a partner, but later you still insisted on leaving. , I want to find your senior brother Shang, for my brother's heart..."

Xie Liuchen was shocked again, and murmured: "I understand, I understand, I was trapped in Zhoujia Village for 50 years because of you..."

Fu Changning smiled and did not refute. He acquiesced in this matter. Xie Liuchen suddenly heard the double shocking event, and the hatred in his heart increased. Otherwise I will kill you!"

Fu Changning said: "Your Senior Brother Shang is a very important figure, and I wanted to plan a big business with him, so I left him here."

Xie Liuchen sneered: "Ha! What kind of person do you think Senior Brother Shang would be bewitched by you?"

Fu Changning smiled and said, "Otherwise, let's take a gamble to see if your brother Shang will cooperate with me?"

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Xie Liuchen suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed: "Hahahaha, if Senior Brother Shang would make peace with a villain like you, then I would look down on him instead! I can tell you plainly, no need to gamble, Senior Brother Shang is not Maybe cooperate with you! Stop wishful thinking!"

When Fu Changning heard the words, a stern look flashed in his eyes, and he quickly regained his composure. He said, "Brother Xie Xian, is your Brother Shang and I traveling together? Let's see, hahahaha..."

Before he finished speaking, a burst of white light flashed, and when Xie Liuchen didn't blink, the body sitting on the stone platform had disappeared.

It turned out that while he was talking with Xie Liuchen, he secretly undid the sealing method set by Xie Liuchen at some point, Xie Liuchen was in a state of shock, but he didn't notice it, which gave him a chance to escape.

Xie Liuchen said angrily: "Damn it, Fu Changning, come out!"

He shouted hoarsely, but no one answered him anymore.
