Zhijun Xiangu

Father and son

Looking up at the endless darkness all around, when Li Ran was at a loss, he suddenly felt a chill behind his back, he turned his head abruptly, and his gaze fell into a pair of blood-red eyes!

Taking a deep breath, before he even had time to shout, he opened his eyes and saw the familiar top of the bed—he was awakened by someone shaking at the critical moment of the nightmare.

His head hurt like hell, Li Ge saw that he was awake, and let go of his shoulders, but Li Ran's eyes were still in a state of confusion, so Li Ge had no choice but to call again: "Your Highness!"

"... Li Ge? What's the matter?" Li Ran pressed his temples, and after finally returning to his soul, he realized that it was still early. Li Ge was anxious, "What happened?"

Li Ge also knew that His Royal Highness hadn't had a good rest these days, but there was no other way to do it, so he hurriedly said: "Your Highness, General Cai led troops to surround Beitang half an hour ago, and I sent people to inquire, but General Cai I don’t want to say a word, Beitang Mingshi has not come back now, what should I do, Your Highness!"

It was as if a basin of cold water had been poured on his head, and Li Ran was completely frozen awake.

General Cai refused to reveal anything superfluous even to his people. Obviously it was the emperor's order, and now Beitang Min is not here... What on earth does his father want to do? !

Li Ran: "Even General Cai's elite men are no match for Beitang. How could they be surrounded?"

It should be normal to fight.

Li Ge didn't know what was going on, Li Ran thought about it for a few times, guessed a bad possibility, felt a "thump" in his heart, immediately put on his clothes and planned to go to the emperor.

He rushed out of the dormitory, and the wind and snow almost swept him back. Only then did Li Ran realize that the world was a vast expanse of whiteness. The first snow of this winter fell last night. Can not pass the upper.Li Ran exhaled a mouthful of white mist and shivered.

Li Ge ran out holding the fox fur cloak: "Your Highness, you ran too fast."

Of course he knew that it was snowing outside, but Li Ran realized that it was time for snow after he had been struggling these days.

Ah Min... where did he go...

While he was still in confinement, the guards at the gate of the East Palace dutifully stopped him. Li Ran walked forward without saying a word. hurt the prince.

In front of Qianhuan Palace, Li Ge changed several positions, feeling that he could not block the wind.Li Ran's face was half covered by the fur collar, he looked at Li Ge through the tip of the fur with difficulty, and said with a smile: "Don't go around, I'm not so weak."

Li Ge watched Li Ran being blown by the wind, and couldn't help saying: "With such a strong wind, His Majesty is really willing to let His Highness stand outside and wait..."

Are you willing to...

Li Ran thought: "I'm afraid this is how the real father and son of the royal family get along."

Li Xuan's personal servant finally ran back: "Your Highness, Your Majesty said, please go back to the East Palace."

As soon as he stopped Li Ge, Li Ran had expected it, and he smiled: "Father, my son knows."

Bend his knees, Li Ran knelt directly in the snow.

The servant hurriedly backed away a few steps to move away from the place in front of Li Ran: "Your Highness, what are you doing!" Then he went up with several other servants to help Li Ran up.

Li Ran blocked the hands of several people, grabbed Li Ge again, and said softly: "Go and help me find Ah Min...don't look at me like this, nothing will go wrong."

Li Ge's eyes turned red: "Your Highness, why are you bothering? We are not related to Beitang, and you have contradicted His Majesty because of them. Can you talk about it after Beitang Min returns?"

The wind blows like a knife, how can I stand kneeling in the snow!

"I'm afraid it's too late," Li Ran said, "It's not because of any reason, anyway, seeing Ah Min and seeing those children laughing... I am very happy."

"Your Highness..."

"You are older than me, and you have protected me since I was a child." Li Ran supported Li Ge's shoulders, "I have grown up too, I can't let you worry about me all the time, I am really an old woman, go ahead, I'll be fine."

An hour later, the servant couldn't persuade the prince, and Li Ran, who was determined to eat the weight, remained motionless. He only felt that his legs were not his own, and he didn't feel a bit. Xiabeitang.

Beitang was so angry that he couldn't swallow it willingly. The reason why they were surrounded by General Cai and his men without any resistance was probably because Li Xuan got some kind of trick in his hands.Li Ran couldn't help but think of the kids who were studying in the school, but he didn't understand that if Li Xuan wanted Beitang to fight for him, such a move would only add to the grievances and would not be of any benefit. It was not like what Li Xuan would do at all. thing.

The sound of trot's footsteps approached from far to near, Li Ran opened his eyes, and the servant ran up to him, shouting in a low voice: "Your Majesty has orders, Prince Xuan will see you!"

The snow under his legs turned to ice, and Li Ran had to support his knees with his hands to stand up. Several servants quickly came up to help him, and patted the snow off his body. The snow that had melted off his cloak turned dark blue.

The door of the palace was closed tightly, Li Ran glanced at it, and found that even Li Xuan's personal servant, Eunuch Cao, was standing outside, feeling angry and confused, the guard opened the door of the palace, and a gust of wind came from nowhere, Li Ran I couldn't help blocking it with my sleeve.

The door of the hall was closed tightly again, the store was not lit, and it was plunged into darkness for a while, Li Ran could gradually see the scene in the hall after a while, Li Xuan sat on the dragon chair, Li Ran stepped forward and said: "Father..."

"However, come here," Li Xuan waved his hand in the dark, his voice hoarse, "Come here and let Father Huang see you."

He was worried that Li Xuan was ill, so he hurriedly walked up to him, and found that Li Xuan was haggard, with half of the white hair growing on his head, and his eyes were slightly squinted, looking like an old man in his sixties who was dying. What's going on?! You have such a serious illness, why didn't you tell me?!"

Li Xuan made a "ho ho" sound, Li Ran wanted to call someone in, but his hand was caught, Li Xuan murmured: "People have desires, and heart demons, heart demons...my son... ..."

Tears flowed down, Li Xuan's eyes that were closed limply opened slowly, Li Ran's pupils shrank, and an indescribable fear welled up in his heart - it was those red pupils in his dream!

He took a step back subconsciously, and his throat was suddenly choked. Li Ran watched in disbelief that his haggard father stood up suddenly, and grabbed his neck with both hands. Li Xuanjinruo crazily shouted: " But without desires, how can you be called a human heart?! It's me...it's the power I gave birth to, I want...I want to be the lord of the ten kingdoms, the lord of the world!"

Just like that day again, Li Xuan's voice changed completely. Li Xuan was obviously shorter than Li Ran, but he actually grabbed Li Ran and lifted him up!

Li Ran shook the hand on his neck, his consciousness gradually blurred: "Father..."

The next moment, his neck loosened, and before he could breathe again, he was suddenly thrown out. Li Ran rolled down from the steps where the dragon chair was placed, blood was left on his forehead, and his whole body was covered with bruises. Crying about the pain, Li Ran coughed, and his eyes were full of double images.

Li Xuan held his head and said to himself: "It's power... mine, power... it's mine, don't try to take it away! Monster... my power..."

Li Ran supported the ground and sat up, but his little finger touched a puddle of semi-dry liquid. Just now, because the hall was too dark, his eyes were covered with blood and he couldn't see it. Li Ran withdrew his hand and looked at the dark red spot on his hand in confusion. liquid.

It turned out that the strong smell of blood was not only due to his own blood.

Li Ran let out a scream, and rushed towards the little figure who was lying down not far away in horror. He hugged the child's cold body in his arms, and covered the hideous wound on his neck with his hands too late. He hardly dared to look at the child's face.

He remembered that this child was the liveliest one among the children who liked to pester him, always grabbing him and shouting, "Brother Ran, brother Ran, I want candy!"

Died, died, died just like that... not because of illness, nor because of that damn ritual...

"Are you satisfied?" The mad emperor stopped talking to himself, and Li Ran's tears welled up in his eyes, "What do you want to do, what do you want to do?! I can understand that you want to kill those who have treated you and your mother badly before. I let myself understand you against my conscience! But why did you kill an innocent child, why?!"

This child, who came out of the deep valley, has never seen anything...

"What the hell am I doing?" he thought to himself.

Goodness can't be perfect, evil can't be half-full, he doesn't belong to either side, he doesn't belong to either side...

"What makes you so disgusting?" "Li Xuan" continued the following content, seeing his son in pain, suddenly smiled, but the smile was [-]% treacherous, which made people feel cold all over.He pulled out his Son of Heaven sword and said in a hoarse voice, "Yeah, you can't do anything, hypocrisy is disgusting."

Seeing what he was thinking, Li Ran looked up at "Father" in surprise.

"Li Xuan" walked down the dragon chair step by step: "Do you know what I am? A demon of the heart. Born of greed and greed, and strong with the darkness of the heart, I really should thank you for taking the initiative to send me to your door. I, the last line of defense!"

"Human beings are always naive and terribly naive. They think that demons are born because of it, and they can control them. In the end, they are devoured by demons. It's so ridiculous!"

Before the words fell, a silver light flashed, and "Li Xuan" swung the sword in his hand mockingly.

Li Ran's chest felt cold at first, and then a hot current gushed out, and then came the pain, but he didn't have the strength to scream. With a "plop", he fell to the ground weakly, and the blood spread under his body, half of his body and even his body were soaked in the blood.

I'm afraid he won't be able to wait for Bei Tangmin.

Li Ran, the heart demon reader, sneered as he thought in his heart.

He is confident enough to take down the Beitang Spirit Clan together with that Beitang Min. After all, the fighting method of the heart demon is to disintegrate the opponent's psychological defense little by little, and play them to death. Turn Beitang's spiritual power from the corpse into his own, and by then, there will be no one in the world who can do anything to him, not even a half-immortal!

Because of Li Xuan's identity, the heart demon thought of using Li Xuan's body to lead the army to unify the world, and then cooperate with the inside and outside of the demon world. By then, wouldn't the human world be in the hands of the demons?

The demon sneered and said: "A group of self-proclaimed noble demons, because our demons are born in people's hearts and have the power to devour them, they look down on them as foreigners. Hmph! You guys have thought about things for thousands of years, but you don't have them. The ability is in hand, and in the end it is not up to us!"

He kicked Li Ran casually, and wanted to walk back to the dragon chair. Suddenly, his heart felt like a needle prick without warning. It’s not easy to use, tsk, there’s no way, I’ll live for decades…”

Unexpectedly, the pain didn't stop, the inner demon was extremely agitated, I didn't know how to ignore it, I just felt a blockage in my heart, and even my head hurt.

If anyone else sees it, they will find that one of the demon's eyes has quietly turned back to black. It is a human eye, the eye of a father, with endless sadness that almost drowns people.

The inner demon covered his right eye: "Old man, you are still conscious?!"

Cloudy tears fell drop by drop, Li Xuan drew out the sword with his right hand, and laid it across his neck without hesitation.

The inner demon quickly restrained his thoughts, the power confronted Li Xuan's will, and cursed: "Aren't you going to die?! Don't forget, the two of us are one, and even if you commit suicide, I may not necessarily die! In a blink of an eye, he saw Li Ran's body: "By the way, don't you love your son the most? As soon as you die, I will immediately attach him to his body, and I will keep his consciousness and control him. Killing, you also know that your son can't bear these things the most, are you willing to let him watch his body killing people?!"

The right hand was still leaning towards the neck, and the demon couldn't figure out why Li Xuan did this—he would never understand.

Hearing his words, Li Xuan actually laughed, and the demon was stunned, and the sword sharply cut Li Xuan's neck.

Li Xuan's body suddenly fell to the ground, and the golden crown on his head fell out. Li Xuan's body had been facing away from Li Ran, but now he turned around, and he cast his last glance on his son.

The inner demon hurriedly gathers Li Xuan's soul, trying to make a final effort, but after he gathers for a long time, the soul is still completely astigmatized little by little.

The inner demon almost went mad with anger—this damned old thing actually scattered his own soul, fighting for such a huge pain, don't want to be reincarnated, and don't want to be controlled by him.

A soulless corpse can't be manipulated by the inner demon. If you don't control the human body, the inner demon is just a cloud of gas and can't do anything, but...

The demon looked at the two remaining corpses in the temple, the child's soul had been devoured by him, but there was another one who happened to be close relatives with the original owner, he didn't even need to get used to it!

Don't you want to avenge your son desperately?Don't you listen to me?OK!

The darkness brought boundless silence. After an unknown amount of time, Li Ran's fingers moved. He stumbled and was driven by a force to stand up. The blue clothes were already stained with blood.

He looked around blankly.

This is not hell.
