On How to Properly Engage a Deadly Enemy

Chapter 60 Chapter 6

"Alive..."

"I must live until I find out the truth..."

The soaring flames swept the burning house and collapsed, Xie Guixin was choked awake by the smoke, leaning on the wall all the way, staggering out of the house.

The cold wind was blowing, the courtyard was full of snow, large swathes of bright red were splashed on the snow, and corpses were piled up.There is a dead tree in the courtyard, and the vermilion red rope on it is twisted in the wind on the dead branch of falling snow, and the bell tied to the end of the rope is ringing crisply alone.

Xie Guixin remembered that the red string was tied to the tree by the girl who took care of him after he was able to walk again, saying that it was for him to be blessed with the century-old tree and get well sooner.

And now...he hasn't fully recovered yet, but the girl is already dead.Falling under a tree, a layer of snow accumulated on her body, but her eyes were still open.Reflecting the burning courtyard and the young people standing in the courtyard.

He was dressed in a plain robe and had long hair like ink. He was holding a sword, and the blood on the tip of the sword was still dripping down.

"Yunchen!!" Xie Guixin yelled, picked up the long sword scattered on the ground and wanted to rush up to fight him.But he can just stand up, how can he run.But after taking a step, he rolled down the stone steps, fell headlong into the snowdrift, and threw the sword in his hand far away.

Yun Chen just turned around, her eyebrows and eyes were delicate and cold, and she was dressed in a plain white robe, like the whitest cluster of snow on the treetops, unstained by dust.And Xie Guixin struggled to support himself from the snowdrift, his face was stained with blood and trampled snow, and he was in a mess.

"Little uncle, please follow me." Yun Chen bowed, and stretched out his white and slender fingers to Xie Guixin.

Xie Guixin raised her eyes, looked at Yun Chen's almost snow-white face, and after a while, she smiled mockingly.He stretched out his hand and gently put it on Yun Chen's palm.The opponent exerted force and pulled him up.Xie Guixin staggered and crashed into Yunchen's arms.

"Chi——" The dagger pierced into Yun Chen's chest fiercely, tearing open the flesh, and bright red blood stains gushed out, staining his white clothes.

Yun Chen lowered his eyes, looked at Xie Guixin's indifferent eyes, opened his lips, but didn't spit out anything.There was a white glow in the sky, Yun Chen pushed Xie Guixin away, and let him fall into the mud.Then he raised his hand, pulled out the dagger in his heart, threw it on the ground, and left without looking back.

Xie Guixin lay on the ground, looked at Yun Chen who was leaving, raised his hand to cover his eyes, and laughed.

After a while, he struggled to get up from the ground, holding a sword, walked under the tree, and closed the girl's eyes.Xie Guixin knelt beside the girl's body, and carefully wiped off the snow on her clothes.

"Sorry……"

Xie Guixin got up, removed the red rope from the branch, tied it to his hand, picked up the dagger and staggered away.

This is the biggest snow that Xie Guixin has ever seen in his life.It snowed heavily for three days in a row. He walked through the streets with difficulty, slept on the street corner when he was tired, and grabbed a handful of snow particles to swallow when he was hungry.

The limbs with severed meridians were in great pain, Xie Guixin limped and walked forward numbly.There are naughty children throwing snowballs at him, laughing and calling him crippled.Amidst the roar of laughter, they snatched the bamboo pole from Xie Guixin's hand, watched him fall powerlessly to the ground, and clapped and laughed around him.

There are countless fine powders from the explosion of firecrackers on the ground, and the choking smell of saltpeter still lingers in the air.The child was called away by his own adults, Xie Guixin slowly regained his senses, only then did he realize that it is already New Year's Eve in the world.

The peach charms on the street have been replaced with new ones, the bright red is dazzling.Xie Guixin stood alone in the long street, watching the passers-by, and only after a long time did he realize that after leaving the Taihua Realm, the world is so big that there is no room for him.

Xie Guixin almost escaped from that city.

A cripple, walking in the wilderness, lost his way.Xie Guixin walked slowly, and crawled forward little by little after his legs couldn't support him.The wind and snow pressed down layer by layer, Xie Guixin crawled forward, but he couldn't wait for the snow to stop.

The traces of dragging and dragging spread forward little by little, and finally, standing still, a small bag bulged in the wasteland, like a dwarf tomb.

There are too many beauties in the world, but he has no time to see them after all.

------------------

As soon as Xie Guixin opened his eyes, he met Xie Kurong's red eyeballs, staring at him quietly, his gaze was like a torch, and Xie Guixin's back was haired.

"Like...it really looks like it." Xie Kurong murmured, shaking his hands and touching Xie Guixin's forehead, tears fell down.

Xie Guixin struggled to sit up from the bed, looked down at Xie Kurong who was squatting in the corner holding a portrait and crying loudly, and lowered his eyes, "Father, you..."

"Leave him alone," Mo Shiba sat on the table and twisted

Throwing a grape into his mouth, "Your father has cried ten times a day since entering the Sea of ​​Wuxu."

Xie Guixin: "..."

"Wuwanghai..." Xie Guixin frowned, "I remember I filled this out back then."

Mo Shiba raised his eyebrows, "Oh, so you did it. At that time, so much soil was pressed down, and it almost didn't press down here. Fortunately, the things on the top of the head slowly ate up the soil, otherwise I would have been killed. you kill,"

Xie Guixin: "..."

"How can there be space in Wuwang Seabed?" Xie Guixin looked at the verdant plants outside the pavilion and frowned, "And, there is still light here."

Mo Shiba got down from the table and opened the window to let the faint light fall in. He stretched out his hand and caught a little bit of the faint light, with a gentle look on his face, "The bottom of the sea is for the ruins."

"The ruins?" Xie Guixin frowned, "Why have I never heard of this place?"

"How old are you?" Mo Shiba glanced at Xie Guixin, "How much does a little one who is a few hundred years old still want to know?"

The little one who was several hundred years old sat up silently, "Please ask Mr. Mo to clarify."

Mo Shiba turned over from the table, squeezed onto the bed and leaned against Xie Guixin, "The demonic aura is contained in the body, and the demonic aura cannot be tolerated by the heaven and the earth, so it is difficult to purify. Once a demonic clan dies, the demonic aura in the body will be destroyed." It will dissipate, and after the demonic energy cannot be purified, it will remain between the heavens and the earth, and if it gathers for a long time, it will give birth to——the heavenly demon."

Xie Guixin frowned, "Heavenly Demon?"

"The demons have ordinary demons like you and your father, and there are also heavenly demons like me." Mo Shiba lowered his head slightly, showing his small white teeth in Xie Guixin, "You know that heavenly demons and demons difference?"

Xie Guixin's eyes flicked around Mo Shiba, "...it doesn't feel any different."

"...That's because I haven't eaten for a long time." Mo Shiba rubbed Xie Gui's heart fiercely, "Demons like you are not different from ordinary people in terms of physique, but the way of cultivation is actually the same. But Heavenly Demon is different... we don’t need to practice, we just need to eat.”

"Swallow up other people's demon energy to strengthen yourself." Mo Shiba squinted at Xie Guixin and smiled, "The more you eat, the stronger you will be."

"The most interesting thing is that Wuwanghai's seal is getting weaker and weaker." Mo Shiba smiled at Xie Guixin, "In a few decades, the things inside will probably be able to break the seal directly and rush out from here Alright."

Mo Shiba pointed to the top of his head, "Those are all celestial demon bodies. Although they are all just born with spiritual intelligence, their power is not too strong... But, when they devour each other, the strongest celestial demon will probably be selected. Go out in the sea."

Xie Guixin frowned, and turned his head to look at Mo Shiba next to him, "Since there is a seal, how did you get out of Wuwanghai back then? And...you don't look too strong."

Mo Shiba glanced at Xie Guixin, and after a while, lowered his eyes, "I...Of course I have my way."

"...What about the ruins?" Xie Guixin asked.

"The ruins are here. This is the place to purify the devilish energy, and the seal of Wuwanghai also started here. It's just that the spiritual power has become weaker and weaker," Mo Shiba looked at the building not far away from the window. The shimmering tower, "When the lights there go out, the ruins will disappear."

"Since it's a seal, why is there... a house? You built it after you came here?" Xie Guixin glanced at the small glazed attic of the Xian family, with a look of disbelief.

"There...was only one person living here." Mo Shiba smiled, "It's just that he died later."

"The plants here are planted by your father. At first we were too bored to plant some flowers and plants here for fun. I didn't expect to grow these things alive." Mo Shiba got off the bed and patted Xie Kurong. shoulder, "Xie Kurong, your son was thrown into Wuwanghai, and even his body was reshaped, so you don't want to care about your son? Why are you crying while holding a portrait every day? No matter how much you cry, you can't cry Go into your daughter-in-law's ears."

Xie Kurong: "..."

"Let's think about how to get out of the sea of ​​innocence first. Your son's little face is not bad, it's a pity to be eaten by the demon." Mo Shiba waved his hand and went out.

Xie Guixin looked at Mo Shiba's leaving back, and suddenly felt that the other party didn't seem to be as dishonest as in the dream.Perhaps, a dream is a dream.Everything in it is fake.

"Little darling, I have suffered for you all these years." Xie Kurong held the painting scroll, sat beside Xie Guixin, and patted his head.

Xie Guixin: "...Little darling?"

"What? You don't have that name?" Xie Kurong looked puzzled, "I discussed it with your mother back then, no matter if it's a boy or a girl, the nickname is Kuaiguai."

Xie Guixin: "My name is Guixin, and my nickname...is up to you."

"What about your mother?" Xie Kurong looked at Xie Guixin and asked carefully.

Xie Guixin opened his lips, and after a while, he said, "I don't know, I... haven't seen her since I was a child."

"I see." Xie Kurong smiled, but his expression was still normal, "It's okay if I don't know, at least she might still be alive...well, she must be alive."

Xie Kurong murmured while hugging the scroll, Xie Guixin stared at the painting on the scroll, slightly startled.Although he knew it was Lin Yu's portrait, he never expected it to be so lifelike.

After Xie Kurong babbled on for a long time, he looked up at Xie Guixin, and said slowly, "My son, do you want to go out?"

Xie Guixin turned her head and looked out the window.Not far away, a white pagoda is located on one side. A faint yellow light on the top of the pagoda slowly spreads out. The light is intertwined, like a big net, opening up a space.And a vermilion figure stood under the tower, motionless.

"What is he doing there?" Xie Guixin looked at Mo Shiba's figure and frowned.

"Reminiscing about his lover who disappeared for hundreds of years," Xie Kurong carefully rolled up the scroll, "Well... it shouldn't be his lover, it should be the person he has been secretly in love with all his life."

"Disappeared?" Xie Guixin raised his eyebrows.

"That's right, the person has disappeared, leaving only the main body, which is still barely supporting the seal here. The place we live now belongs to that person." Xie Kurong put the scroll away, "I said, when I was in Wu When Lu Hai was struck by the lightning, everyone else ran away desperately, why did that kid approach me desperately all by himself, but in the end he wanted to use the thunder to open the way for him to rush into Wu Wang Hai."

"That's it." Xie Guixin looked at Mo Shiba's back, who was standing under the white pagoda, his figure moved slightly, after a while, he took out a piano, and he didn't know what tune he was playing.

It made people feel blocked.
