【Shuangxuan】Break the cauldron

Chapter 11

When the moon was sinking, there was a fog, and the iron chain bridges in the countryside were hidden behind the thick fog, and the iron chains were faintly visible in the chanting of the apes in Cangshan Mountain, with no end to end.

The bridge has been deserted for almost two years, and most of the planks on the bridge deck have been torn away by the summer flood.

This entire section of waterway, only this bridge is unprotected.Because the bridge head has been erected to borrow soul piles, and some people have removed the soul banners. Once this evidence is established, it should be placed under the control of ghosts.If others want to take over, they will naturally have to smash the soul piles and plaques at the bridgehead first, and tear up the soul contract IOUs inside.But the person who unveiled the banner has long since disappeared, and the person in the Dishi Temple is unwilling to push down the soul pile, so this bridge has become a famous dangerous place.

But fortunately, many bridges have been built in the past two years, and the people have no reason to use this bridge.

He Xuan leaned on the bridge and waited, holding a black sword in his arms, and there were still a few traces of autumn dew and white fragrance in his lapel.

Not long after, a white-robed Taoist quietly appeared at the top of the cable bridge, holding a folding fan in his hand and a sword hanging from his waist, standing in the mist.

The two have a century-old relationship, an inexhaustible enmity, and they know each other well, and they all show each other the truth.

He Xuan held his sword in his arms and asked away: "What is the purpose of you inviting me here?"

The Taoist in white robe replied: "I'm not satisfied with the burial place I chose for you?"

In front of He Xuan, who is still so rampant and disdainful, there is probably only one Shi Wudu in the world.

He uttered lies, but He Xuan was not angry, and sneered at him coldly: "If you don't say it, do you think others don't know? It's just that you don't want me to go to your Bogu Town. Ghost Barrier Cage City is really a big deal. Hundreds of barriers The ghost obeys the order, and the ghost way outside the barrier does not invade, so I don't know what it is defending against? Shui Hengtian, what are you afraid of?"

After hearing this, Shi Wudu's expression froze, and he said sharply: "It's useless to say more." After speaking, he jumped down from the top of the pillar with several cold light water arrows.

His stature is swift, his water arrows are dazzling, and his momentum is compelling.But He Xuan was not fazed by it, he saw at a glance that this person was attacking him with obvious moves, but in fact, all the moves were aimed at the soul pile at the bridge head, and he immediately moved a few steps horizontally and smashed several streams of water with his scabbard Arrows, combined with magical barriers as shields, insisted on stopping people.The two tyrannical mana collided violently, and the loud sound of blunt objects colliding repeatedly echoed in the mountain gorge.

He Xuan looked directly at Shi Wudu through the barrier, and said, "He's still alive, right?"

"Don't you just want him to die?" Shi Wudu smiled sadly, "He's already dead!"

He Xuan was unmoved: "Then why don't you open your ghost barriers."

"Wishful thinking!" Shi Wudu shook his right arm, and several water arrows shot out of the water ripples in the fan, directly hitting the soul pillar at the bridgehead.Seeing this, He Xuan slapped the magic shield in front of his upper body, took advantage of the momentum and flew back, grabbed the last water arrow with his bare hands, and drove straight in with his mana, causing it to branch out hundreds of arrows from the arrow end, counting all the water arrows of Shi Wudu shattered in the air.

Since the purpose of Shi Wudu's crossing was clearly seen, he simply said bluntly: "Xuan Gui, hand over the Borrowing Soul Banner, and I will save your dog's life."

He Xuanpi smiled and said: "You really know about borrowing the soul, isn't he already dead?"

With Shi Wudu close in front of him, He Xuan was able to take a closer look at his face.

This person's ghost bones are complete, and he has monopolized more than half of the waterways in the world in the past two years. It is reasonable to say that he should have unlimited scenery, but unexpectedly, he has become more dove-shaped and more sinister than two years ago. It can be seen that the cage that has not been removed for many years The ghost barrier in the city really takes a lot of people's soul.

Borrowing soul prayer flags, with the deed of borrowing souls to lead the way for soul seekers.He Xuan obtained Mingyi's banner, but the banner could not lead him to search for the soul, unless the soul had been annihilated and could not be found in the Three Realms, otherwise someone was obstructing it.He sometimes doesn't know whether to hate Shi Wudu crossing this ghost obstacle, or to thank Shi Wudu crossing this ghost obstacle, after all, it is because of this obstacle that he is not completely hopeless in the long-lasting silence.

Shi Wudu didn't answer his question, but his brows became more murderous, and he said: "Forget it, let me teach you how to wipe out the ashes first, and then I will clean up the heretics at the bridge!" Soaring into the air under the fog barrier under the bridge.

Shi Wu crossed the scriptures to fill the bones with the wind god, and he also exerted some wind-dispelling power.Right now, the six dragons held the water and attacked He Xuan with the force of the gust of wind, making a sharp sound of piercing through the air like a steel blade.In He Xuan's heart, there was no wave in the ancient well, and when he saw Shi Wudu driving the wind and sending the dragon away, a bit of hostility suddenly appeared on his face.He climbed up by the iron chain, shuttled like a ghost among the attacks of water dragons, and in a blink of an eye he had raised his sword and jumped in front of Shi Wudu.

Shi Wudu stepped aside with his fan and turned sideways to avoid a sword, but saw He Xuan's second sword coming from his backhand, so he had to draw out the long sword at his waist to block it.A red light appeared in the fog, and the two swords collided. He Xuancai realized that the red mirror was hanging on Shi Wudu's waist. He gritted his teeth and asked, "Can other people's things be used easily?"

Shi Wudu's face changed drastically.

He doesn't care whether the red mirror has an owner or not, but he can hear that there is something in He Xuan's words, which is stabbing his sore spot.

Filling the bones with godhood and adding divine power to the body, many people can't dream of it, but he has always regarded it as a nail in the bone.Unable to move in the mist, watching Shi Qingxuan's divine power come out of his body, and the scene of his living soul about to be dissipated, is a terrible nightmare that he has avoided all these years.

He shocked He Xuan back in anger, threw the red mirror into the sheath, and then made a move with four fingers.The water dragon in the mist immediately soared up, its mouth was like a basin of blood, and instantly swallowed He Xuan into it.Shi Wudu swirled the words in his palm, trying to crush He Xuan's soul and bones into the water dragon's mouth, but he didn't expect that the water in the sky burst into light, and He Xuan raised his sword and broke the dragon's skull, and the gorge was filled with deafening noises. The water dragon howled.

The dragon's body was originally made of water, but He Xuan, who came out of the broken head, stood on the dragon's head, looking straight at the white-robed Taoist in the center of the cable bridge, with bloody aura all over his body. God, why don't you remove your ghost barrier?"

Shi Wudu's current situation was explained by He Xuan, and he was furious.

He was tyrannical and fearless in his actions. In order to prevent He Xuan from leaving the mountain, he still did not remove the ghost barrier, and almost fought He Xuan with half his strength in this life-and-death duel.If you don't get rid of the ghost barrier right now, you will definitely fall into a disadvantage. If you remove the ghost barrier, you are afraid that someone will take advantage of the gap and stick to the soul banner to ask for the soul of Master Qingxuan.

Between the dilemma, He Xuan's sword came again.Shi Wudu stretched out his hand to grab it, and pulled out a soft whip of clear water from the mist, held the long sword of the visitor, gritted his teeth and said: "It's just a mere iron, you can't control yourself."

The corner of Yan Luo's mouth in front of him sneered: "It's just a piece of iron, it depends on who owns it!"

The mana on He Xuan's sword soared, although he failed to cut off Shi Wu's water whip, he was sent flying off the cliff.He Xuan threw away the shattered Fantie in his hand, and was about to give chase, looking at the direction where Shi Wudu fell, but secretly screamed in his heart - the bridgehead soul pile!

Just as he thought in his heart, before he had time to rush to the bridge, Shi Wudu had pulled up a ten thousand zhang waterfall from the gorge under the bridge to stop him.Both of them are not dull-minded people, and Shi Wudu also understood in an instant, as long as he puts all his eggs in one basket and stops He Xuan for a moment, and destroys the bridge head soul pile first, everything will be different!

The waves are done, and no soul can cross them!This [-]-foot-high waterfall was created by Shi Wudu with all his strength, and it is boundless to the left and right. The river surface of the hundred-mile waterway was suddenly dropped by him for several meters, and the sound of the waves was earth-shattering.The rapidly falling water curtain is not just water and foam, but also full of flowing mana. Several water dragons swim in it with scales and mane, waiting for trespassers to die.

He Xuan didn't hesitate at all, like a lone sword unsheathed, he flew straight towards the sinister water curtain.

Wrapped in pure ghost energy, he moved swiftly like a lone star, cutting jade and gold, and rushing arbitrarily into the heavenly flying flow full of mana.

Shi Wudu was afraid that the water barrier would be broken, so he simply pulled out all his mana from the high waterfall, and sent several water arrows to the borrowing soul pile at the head of the bridge with all his strength.

At this moment, a few exclamations came from the river beach shrouded in white mist under the bridge.

It turned out that it was a group of returnees returning home from the upstream dam, and they were going down the river beach.The mountains in the gorge are filled with mist, and it is difficult to distinguish between sunny and rainy. At the beginning, everyone only heard the faint sound of thunder. Who would have thought that the source of the sound was the towering waterfall built by the ghost king. , There is no way to escape.

This was a dangerous moment that could not tolerate any distraction, but He Xuan had to be distracted by it.

He had an inexplicable question in his mind: Is the son of the Zhao family among them?

It was as if a breeze was blowing, blowing up a yellow talisman that should have been reduced to ashes in the will-o'-the-wisp, and the two lines of lower script held his heart and soul.He saw that everyone on the river beach was a son of the Zhao family, and every minute of the severe pain of the imminent parting of life and death was piled up a hundred percent.Is there anyone who understands the pain of being separated from your dearest relatives better than him?

When he was blinded by hatred in the past, he also had a stubborn heart and forgot what it means to judge others by oneself.Shi Wudu took away his life status, and he went to take away Mingyi's seat. When he was standing on a high place, he forgot for a moment how odious the face of the person who took it by force was.Now someone swept away the dust in his heart, and he picked up all those things that belonged to people.People live in the world, no matter how hard-hearted they are, they can't escape being burdened. Among them, the most tender kind is compassion because of understanding.

He felt more clearly the three poles of his own contradictory fetters.On the bridge is the enemy for life, under the bridge is the death of all living beings, and in the middle is the pile of borrowing souls-the only remaining connection between him and Shi Qingxuan in the world.But as soon as he thought of this, his heart became brighter.If he and Shi Qingxuan can only be connected by a negative pile at the head of this bridge, then what are the tens of thousands of evening drums and morning bells in the past few hundred years?If that person came to the present moment, he would obviously know what choice he would make.

Since he turned into a ghost in the copper furnace, he has killed decisively and decisively, but he has never had such a clear feeling now, feeling that he is breaking free from the shackles of fate, and experiencing a free moment of choice.

To be a man or a ghost, we must first face our own contradictions before we can talk about choices.

——As Hong Feng was about to fall, he resolutely changed direction.

The stormy waves hit the shore, and everyone on the river beach was rescued by He Xuan in an instant, but Shi Wudu, who was at the head of the cable bridge, also seized the opportunity—the outcome was decided.

However, after a while, although the soul pile at the head of the bridge was shattered into powder by Shi Wudu, there was a thunder in the air, and the black-clothed ghost king flew up from the ground.

This ascension was delayed for hundreds of years, He Xuan only felt the wind and the moon, his body was floating, and there were hundreds of miles of rivers and green mountains below him.

The world of mortals under the feet is like a huge cauldron, in which both human and non-human are boiled in warm water.Crying, laughing, sorrows and joys are all mixed in, and there is a steaming vitality in the noise, telling the importance of life for the common people, which makes people sad.

He took out the Borrowing Soul Banner from his sleeve.Without the deed of the soul stake, the banner has become a dead thing, and gradually turned into flying ash in his palm, and was carried by the long wind, scattered from the gap between the fingers into the vast sky and the earth.

The clouds parted before his eyes, and the familiar jade steps of Xianjing stood behind them, standing majestically in the haze.When he saw the person standing in front of the jade steps, he laughed at himself: "I never thought that the evil ghost could work for the Lord Lingwen through ascension."

Lingwen was dressed in black and white, standing in front of the steps with his hands behind his back, and said: "The ghost king flew up, and there was an anecdote about jumping off the mortal world in a rain of blood. I'm afraid that the officials below will be short-sighted, and they won't be able to clean up the situation. The grown-ups laughed."

He Xuan paused: "Master?"

Lingwen narrowed his eyes and said: "Not bad."

He Xuan raised his eyebrows: "Has the soul of the person on the earth master's position gone?"

I don't know if the scattered soul is actually freed from the endless sea of ​​suffering for that person.

Lingwen replied: "Ever since the former Earth Master uncovered the evil banner of borrowing souls from the human world and fell into the ghost world, the position of the Heavenly Earth Master has been vacant. Please excuse me."

Seeing He Xuan groaning silently, Ling Wen closed his sleeves and said again: "Whether to go or stay, please make a quick decision, my lord."

He Xuan jokingly said: "I thought you had been tossing around in the Three Realms, and you would have realized that there is no difference between heaven and earth."

"Of course there are still some differences. If you choose to stay..." Lingwen looked at He Xuan with a pair of unhappy eyes, "My lord can order the general now."
