Yu Hongchen

When Xie Liuchen saw this, he just wanted to ask, "What's that place?"

Shang Lixing had a tacit understanding and told him the answer through the sea of ​​consciousness: "That is the Central Continent."

As an ordinary mortal, Fu Changning's knowledge is no better than that of a monk, and the biggest focus is only on the family and country he has seen in his life. He never knows what overseas land is in this world, and he doesn't know what Zhongzhou Nanling is at all. He only knows that he came from Going to a desolate and uninhabited wasteland, making every day should not be called the ground is not working, and I am afraid that I will not be able to escape death in the end.In desperation, he wandered aimlessly on the Central Continent, hoping that the heaven would show mercy and give him a chance of life.

The climate in Central Continent is so weird and dangerous that even ordinary monks can't resist it, let alone a weak scholar. Fu Changning endured hunger and was subjected to all kinds of erratic weather. He still couldn't get out of this land. , Finally his legs became weak and he fell to the ground.

This fall, he fell into a secret place by mistake, and by chance, he got what he dreamed of.

"Secret realm?" Xie Liuchen was puzzled: "How can there be a secret realm in Central Continent?"

Shang Lixing said: "Do you still remember the Fenglinchuan we went to?"

"En." Xie Liuchen nodded.

Shang Lixing said: "The old slave of Kunshan once said that the Lord of Ziyuan once had another secret realm in Zhongzhou, so I guess this is it. The terrain of Central Continent is dangerous and there are few people, so this secret realm has been preserved to this day. Kunshan old man Nu has been guarding Fenglinchuan all year round, so he must not know that his master's secret realm has been inherited by others."

Xie Liuchen understood: "It turns out that he has received the inheritance from the Lord of Ziyuan, no wonder he can shed his mortal body and practice spells."

Shang Lixing said: "I'm afraid it's not just that. It is much more difficult for a mortal to inherit a secret realm than ordinary monks. If you don't know how to practice, it's useless to inherit a secret realm. Fu Changning's aptitude is mediocre, so logically speaking, he can't embark on the path of cultivation. Yes, but he was quick-witted and passionate about the art of longevity. After inheriting the magic power of the secret realm, his vision was broadened, and he may have developed a different method of cultivation. After that, he returned to Zhoujia Village and began to secretly capture Catching mortals, through absorbing the essence of mortals, the cultivation base has greatly increased, and since then I have learned the ability to control the monks' sea of ​​consciousness and the climate of the four seasons."

"At the beginning, it was just a small fight, and no one noticed it. Later, he was greedy and killed more and more mortals, and finally attracted Qiushuimen's attention. The passage under the double shadow wall, alas, who would have thought that it has nothing to do with the demons, but an evil person with evil intentions from within the human race."

Hearing his sad tone, Xie Liuchen hugged him tighter.

Just listen to Shang Lixing and said again: "He had a chance encounter, and he was self-taught. Not only did he not die in the belly of the sea beast, but he domesticated the sea beast and used it for him. At that time, after Qi Huan was ordered, he was attacked by the sea beast , became his pawn, and the dragon that Feng Guiyun was riding on was also bitten by the sea beast a few times, and he lost his self-awareness and committed self-mutilation."

Xie Liuchen frowned and said, "From what you said, it's all related to sea beasts. I also fell into the sea and was attacked by sea beasts. Why am I fine?"

Shang Lixing said: "Maybe it's because of your determination, or maybe it's because you possess the blood essence of the beast king and the power of the monster king, which prevents him from attacking you. He just sends you to the Northland Demon Clan and lets you fend for yourself."

Xie Liuchen nodded, thinking that Qi Huan's act of stealing the roster of casual cultivators back then was obviously doing things for the demons, but in fact Fu Changning's instigation was also indispensable. If the demons are thrown into the sea, they will definitely retaliate when they come back, so how can they cooperate with the demons?"

Shang Lixing said: "It's not difficult to guess, either to instigate the hatred between the human and devil races, or to conceal people's eyes and ears. People with deep thoughts often don't care about immediate gains and losses, so they can control everything behind the scenes."

Xie Liuchen nodded again.

Shang Lixing sorted out his thoughts, and continued: "Although Fu Changning is a sick and weak mortal, his thoughts are extremely strong, so I didn't think to find out the truth from the mortal side. Later, through Xue Yunqing's sea of ​​consciousness, I vaguely traced his Existence, wounded him. He hid in Zhoujia Village for 50 years to recuperate, and recovered a few percent of his strength, but relying on his own strength to heal his wounds had little effect after all, so he went to Central Continent to destroy the terrain, trying to absorb the natural power of Central Continent to help He recovered by himself, but we discovered and stopped him early, and you know what happened later, Fu Changning was completely enraged, and went to a southern town to sacrifice [-] souls and refine his spirit..." He was discouraged when he said this Ban Chang let out a sigh of relief, "We only have fourteen hours left."

"Is there really no way to deal with him?" Xie Liuchen said to himself, and suddenly thought of something: "I remember that Senior Brother Fang committed suicide in Yunshan. You said that Fu Changning's method of controlling the sea of ​​consciousness is not impeccable."

Shang Lixing said: "Well, some undercover demons hiding in Nanling were bought by Fu Changning, including the black-robed man who tricked you into Yunshan when you were a child. But their sea of ​​consciousness has long been occupied by others, and they don't realize it at all. With the existence of Fu Changning, he thought he was doing things for the demons. Only Qi Huan, who regained consciousness after death, and Fang Jinglin, who was dying, were the only ones who could really notice that their actions were out of control. In other words, if you want to get rid of his manipulation, death is the The only way out."

Xie Liuchen subconsciously asked: "Ah? Is this the only way? Is there no other way?"

Shang Lixing said: "Actually, there is a third person, but he is deeply trapped in a tiger's den and cannot save himself. I'm not sure if he can regain his self-awareness."

"Who?"

"Your master."

Xie Liuchen was surprised: "It turns out that the master is also——no wonder we found him in Zhongzhou, so he was trapped there by Fu Changning."

Shang Lixing couldn't help laughing when he saw him in a daze of surprise, but thinking about the current serious situation, the half-shown smile faded again.He hugged him tighter and said, "Did you find it?"

"Found what?"

"Think about it."

Xie Liuchen thought for a moment in his arms, and said in surprise: "By the way, Senior Brother Fang and Qi Huan are both sword cultivators, and my master is also a sword cultivator." He patted his head and said, "That's why Senior Brother Shang would Thinking of using a sword array to deal with him, why are you so smart?"

Shang Lixing sighed: "Maybe it's God's will in the dark. I didn't know the cause and effect at the time, but I could always make the most correct way to deal with it. Therefore, the next sword formation may be Our only way out, even if we can't do anything, we have to do it. Now it depends on whether He Qi can bring him back within fourteen hours, if he can't, we... really have only a dead end."

Xie Liuchen leaned against his chest, listened to his steady heartbeat, and asked, "Senior Brother Shang, are you afraid?"

Shang Lixing said frankly: "Scared. I have lived for hundreds of years, and I have never seen this kind of opponent, and I am not sure that I can kill him."

Since Xie Liuchen got acquainted with him, he has always been confident and dignified, but these days he often uttered such dejected words, which shows that he is really troubled and deliberate.His eyelashes trembled, and suddenly he felt great pride, hugged him tightly, and said: "Don't be afraid, I will always be by your side, even if we die, we will bury our bodies together."

Shang Lixing sighed, and said: "Junior Xie, in fact, you are not from the human race, you can go back—"

"Don't say it, don't say it, I know what you want to say," Xie Liuchen sat up anxiously, covered his mouth with his hand, and said repeatedly, "If you dare to say that you want me to go back to Xiya Mountain, I will never let you go. Ignore you."

He looked at his lover who was close in front of him, and couldn't help kissing his lips, his voice was lingering and engulfed in the intertwined lips and teeth: "If the devil really brings disaster to the world, I will die with you too. "

Shang Lixing closed his eyes and sighed silently.

That night, the two cuddled tenderly, unable to sleep for a long time.

In the early morning of the next day, Xiya Mountain.The sky was slightly bright, and a figure in a hurry walked up to Wangtianya, reached the peak, and was about to enter the cave when he was stopped in front of him by a young man in white robes.

"Elder Yuntang, you came early today."

Elder Yuntang saw who was coming, stopped and asked: "Yuan Sang, is the king in the cave?"

Yuan Sang glanced into the cave, then turned around and asked, "What are you looking for with the king?"

Elder Yuntang raised something in his hand and said: "This is a letter from Nanling, I am presenting it to Wang to read."

"Oh?" Yuan Sang's tone changed when he heard the word Nanling, "A letter from Nanling? It must have come from Qiushuimen, let me take a look first."

He is the Great Demon King's confidant, and has always been helpful to the Demon King in making decisions. Elder Yuntang did not shirk when he heard the words, and naturally handed him the things in his hand.

Yuan Sang Xin took the letter in his hand, took out paper to read it, and after a while, raised his eyes full of smiles, and looked at Elder Yuntang: "Fortunately, I stopped it. If this letter is presented to the king, Elder Yuntang, You are about to suffer from the disaster of the fish in the pond."

Elder Yuntang was puzzled: "What does this mean?"

Yuan Sang said with a smile: "This letter is written by our dear Highness to his sister. The tone of the letter is not very good."

Elder Yuntang took the letter with a puzzled expression, read it hastily, his heart became clear, and he said inwardly: "You're messing around, this little highness is full of childish talk, and almost hurt my old man to death." Hehe laughed a few times, wiped Sweating on the sideburns: "Fortunately, fortunately, the king did not see this letter."

Yuan Sang said: "Your Highness decided to be with a human cultivator, and the elder also agreed. He talked about it with the king after returning to the mountain that day, and hoped that the king would fulfill his idea. Alas, the elder who has never cared about worldly affairs made an exception and made an exception. The little Highness said clearly, how dare the king defy his good intentions in person? He agreed to his request. But then again, the king and his younger brother have been separated for 400 years. Abducted by an outsider? She was already filled with anger, if she were to see this letter at this time, wouldn't that add fuel to the fire and hurt the elder?"

Elder Yun Tang smiled wryly and said: "Your Highness speaks like a child, he doesn't understand the king's mind, and thinks that a few words can resolve the king's knot."

Yuan Sang sighed: "Oh, let me take care of this matter, who told Wang Yiyi to listen to me? Elder Yuntang, wait for a while."

Elder Yuntang was so happy that someone would do it for him, he said a few words of thanks, and watched Yuan Sauna walk into the cave with the letter.

When Yuan Sang came out again, he was still holding a letter in his hand. Elder Yuntang looked at its appearance and color, but it was not the one he brought. He was suspicious, and Yuan Sang said: "What the king means is, There have been changes in Nanling recently, it is best to bring the little Highness back in time, open the barrier of Xiya Mountain, and isolate the world."

Elder Yuntang recalled a bit, and said: "Recently, I got a news that there is a scholar named Fu Changning in Nanling who is causing harm to the world, is it because of this?"

Yuan Sang said with a smile: "Elder Yuntang is really well-informed. That's right. King Cai also told me about it just now. We Yaozu don't care. The big deal is to close the passage and hide from the world like 400 years ago. What about Fu Changning?" With great supernatural powers, it can't hurt any plant or tree of our monster clan, alas, but the other three clans are much more miserable."

Elder Yuntang said: "It's easy to bring the little Highness back, but in this way, there must be a fight; if we don't use force, how can we coax him back with the relationship between the Little Highness and that human monk?"

Yuan Sang said: "What the king means is that if you can not use force, it is best not to use force, so as not to hurt your highness. However, the Yaozu can lend the outer boundary of Xiya Mountain to the monks of the tribe, the premise is," he said Here, he paused, and handed the letter to Elder Yuntang: "Send this letter to Nanling, I believe that person will know how to choose or reject after seeing the contents of the letter."

"Where are you going?"

Yuan Sang said, "Qiushuimen."
