You are ruthless, really helpless

Chapter 45

In the blink of an eye, it is the night of the full moon.

The clouds and mists are ups and downs, and the shadow of the moon is hazy.

A ray of moonlight fell on the ruins of Wangshu Peak, like a world cast in ice, and everything was silent.

Jiang Li stood on the cliff, narrowing his eyes slightly.

It was too quiet on Wangshu Peak, so quiet that it felt unreal.

He and Shen Jiyun stayed here for so many days, yet no one found their footprints.

Although they did not disturb the sword array outside the mountain gate when they entered the Taiwangzong, some people will always find traces of the sword array being moved.

But now it seems that there is a pair of invisible big hands, blinding Tai Wangzong's eyes and ears, preventing them from discovering the clues.

Or to put it another way... If you find it, you should pretend you didn't see it.

By acting like this, is it convenient for them, or is there another conspiracy?

Jiang Li looked down into the abyss, thinking that this job must not be easy.

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on the corner of his lips - that's why it's funny.

He raised his shoulders, stretched slowly, and then his aura turned, and he jumped down from the cliff lightly.

The figure hopped around, like a kite, staying on the protrusion on the stone wall for a while, and then went further down.

In the end, they stopped at the bottom platform, which was still some distance away from the bottom of the cliff.

A cold wind blows.

Jiang Li felt a piercing chill, frowned, and looked down.

Today is the night of the full moon.

Under the illumination of the moonlight, the turbulent black mist was all dispelled, and the abyss finally revealed its front face.

The strange rocks below are rugged and full of strange vines.

When the wind blows, the vines rustle, and the bones buried below are faintly visible.The sound of the wind poured over the bones, making the sound of howling ghosts and wolves.

The following is a little more eerie, but it seems that there is nothing that needs a lot of trouble to suppress.

Just as he was thinking, a white shadow fell from above, like a sharp knife, pierced straight into his side.

Jiang Li turned sideways, avoiding the falling stones, and asked the question in his heart: "What kind of life does the suppressed demon seed look like?"

Shen Jiyun said in a deep voice: "It's ever-changing."

He has suppressed the abyss on Wangshu Peak for hundreds of years, and it is impossible that he has not seen the appearance of a demon.

The demon seed does not have an exact shape.

Sometimes it is a charming woman, sometimes it is a strong young man, and sometimes it is an old man who is dying... The ever-changing, confusing human form.

Jiang Li raised his eyebrows: "It's interesting."

Shen Jiyun reminded: "After going down, hold your breath and concentrate, and don't give birth to delusions." He paused, "Don't let the demon seed take advantage of it."

Jiang Li touched the tip of his nose: "I know."

After the voice fell, the two jumped off the platform together and landed lightly on the ground, which was considered to have completely entered the abyss.

The abyss is quiet.

After entering it, the sky was all dark.The full moon in the sky became hazy, and a layer of scarlet blood appeared on the edge.

Jiang Li stretched out his hand, the moonlight fell on his fingertips, and a touch of blood condensed.

He said softly: "According to folklore, such a hairy moon is regarded as an ominous omen. Once it appears, there will be bloody disasters."

Shen Jiyun said lightly: "The folk rumors are not true."

Jiang Li stopped and smiled: "Where is your sword?"

Shen Jiyun raised his eyes and looked into the deepest part of the abyss.

There is a mass of deep blackness, like ink that is so thick that it cannot be melted, and it is impossible for people to pry.

There is a connection between him and the natal sword, and he can sense that the natal sword is in this darkest and deepest place.

Jiang Li also looked over, flipped his right wrist, a round of brilliance turned into a ribbon, and plunged straight into the darkness.

There was a flash of brilliance, and then it was swallowed by the darkness and turned into nothingness.

Jiang Li's fingers trembled, and he had already lost contact with the ribbon.

He lowered his hand and said, "Go in and have a look."

Shen Jiyun's eyes deepened: "Be careful."

After all, he took the lead and walked towards the dark place.

Jiang Li took a step behind, and suddenly heard whispers in his ear.

Distinguish carefully, like the sharp laughter of children, mocking them for their overreach.

Look back.

There was nothing behind him, and there was no sound left.

Jiang Li withdrew his gaze and snorted, "Small tricks."

The further you go, the darker the sky becomes.

The black mist surged around, as if it was going to drag people into the endless hell.

Jiang Li raised his foot and landed. He kicked something with his toe. When he looked down, it was a pale and round human head.

The human head rolled around, and a little will-o'-the-wisp appeared inside with a "squeak", swaying faintly.

Move your toes.

There was a gap in the skull, and a scorpion drilled out of it.

The poisonous stinger on the tail of the scorpion is blue, raised high, about to stab it.

With a flick of Jiang Li's cuff, a ray of light fell down with a "whoosh", directly nailing the scorpion to the ground.

The scorpion twitched, barked loudly, and turned into a puddle of poisonous water.

The poisonous water dissipated, and a resentful face flashed in it, staring straight at Jiang Li.

There was a chill on the back of Jiang Li's neck, as if he was cursed by this face.

He waved another moonlight, directly cutting the face into pieces.

Shen Jiyun just noticed the movement behind him: "What's wrong?"

Jiang Li waved his hand, the smoke and dust covered the wreckage on the ground, and he said nonchalantly, "It's nothing."

Shen Jiyun's gaze paused, and he didn't say anything else.

……

The further you looked into the depths, the quieter the surroundings became, and even the sound of footsteps could be clearly heard.

Jiang Li raised his vigilance, for fear that something terrifying would pop up from the corner.

But along the way, it has been uneventful, and no accidents have happened.

It was so smooth and smooth to the deepest part of the canyon.

The black mist was so thick that it covered the moonlight above, making it impossible to see your fingers.

Jiang Li raised his hand, a white light flashed on his fingertips, and a little moonlight came out, illuminating the square inch of the land.

Looking forward, he saw a secluded pool.

The water in the pool is dead still, with wisps of cold air coming out of the water surface, and the bottom is so dark that nothing can be seen clearly, and the depth is bottomless.

In the center of the pool, there is a long sword.

The long sword is not a magical weapon, it is wrapped in a dark scabbard.

The scabbard is neither gold nor jade, it's just wrapped around a circle of white cloth.

But this is Shen Jiyun's sword.

As long as it has this name, no matter how ordinary a sword is, it will be unparalleled in sharpness.

Shen Jiyun stopped in his tracks, and across the secluded pool, his eyes fell on the scabbard.

Jiang Li's eyebrows twitched, before he could speak, he heard a man's deep voice: "I'll go get the sword."

As soon as the words fell, Shen Jiyun's white clothes flashed, and he skimmed across the pool lightly, and came to the side of the sword.He raised his hand to hold the hilt of the sword, exerting force on his wrist, trying to pull the sword out.

But if you look carefully, there is a trace of mist wrapped around the lower part of the sword, pulling the sword down as if in a tug-of-war.

Shen Jiyun remained silent, exerting more force on his hand, a vein popped out on the back of his hand, and gradually spread to his forearm.

The lake was rippling, setting off a gust of wind and waves.

Jiang Li's clothes were wet by the pond water, and he took a step back.

It seemed that Shen Jiyun would still need some time, so he stood by to protect the dharma so as not to be disturbed by foreign objects.

A gust of cold wind blew past, the surface of the pond water rippled, and the shadows below were distorted, as if something was swimming past silently.

Jiang Li half-kneeled on the bank and looked down.

Fingers brushed against the water, and a biting coolness came from the fingertips.

But strangely, the shadow under the water suddenly disappeared, and the pool water was clear, reflecting a clear face.

Just as Jiang Li was about to look away, he caught a glimpse of the figure on the pool smiling slightly from the corner of his eye, revealing a strange smile.

Seeing this scene, he was taken aback for a moment, and subconsciously stroked the corner of his lips, which obviously didn't have any curvature.

The corners of Shadow's lips parted slightly, and his voice was brisk: "Do you want to know who I am?"

Jiang Li frowned, but Shadow didn't make the same movements as him.

Shadow said to himself, "I am...another you." He stretched out his hand, wanting to hug Jiang Li on the shore, but he has no body, and can only make the water surface rippling, "I represent your desire- Hope, I know your darkest thoughts."

Jiang Li: "What do you think?"

Shadow chuckled softly, like whispering: "You practice the Way of Mirroring Flowers and Water Moon, and you are full of lies without a single word of truth. You have worked so hard, but you just want to enter the Mirror of Flowers and Water Moon Tower once." His brows were raised, full of provocation, "I said Right?"

Jiang Li pondered for a moment: "You are right."

The way he cultivated came from the Mirror Flower Shuiyue Tower, and he kept lying to enter it.

Jinghuashuiyue Tower will only appear on the night of the full moon, and the requirement to enter it is to tell a big lie.

What a difficult request.

If there is no accident, he should never have the chance to find Jinghua Shuiyuelou in his life.

Shadow chuckled: "Now, there is a unique opportunity in front of you."

Jiang Li seemed to be tempted, subconsciously asked: "What opportunity?"

Shadow's voice was faint: "A chance to tell a big lie."

Jiang Li pursed his lips: "Where is it?"

Shadow: "It's far away in the sky, but it's close... in front of you."

Jiang Li raised his eyelids and looked at Shen Jiyun not far away.

Shen Jiyun is still wrestling with his sword, it is difficult to distinguish between you and me for a while, and it will take some time before he can completely subdue the natal sword.

The voice reflected on the surface of the water lingers: "He loves you very much and trusts you very much. If you want his life, you will give it to you without hesitation."

"Wouldn't it be a perfect lie to tell him that everything in front of him is false when he believes in you so deeply?"

Jiang Li's eyelashes flickered.

Shadow: "Your heart is moved."

Above, the full moon hangs high.

The mist was rippling, and in the shadow of the moon, a tall building was faintly visible.

The tall buildings are hidden in the moonlight and reflected in the pool water.

Like the epiphyllum that only blooms quietly in the middle of the night, it is short-lived and elusive.

Jiang Li's breathing was slightly chaotic, and there was a little light in his eyes.

He has been looking for the Mirror Flower and Water Moon Tower for many years, and this is the first time that he is so close, it is almost within reach.

As long as you take a step forward, you can enter it.

Such a situation, how can people not be moved?

Jiang Li stared straight at the tall building in front of him, and stood up.

The shadow twisted and hid under the water.

But the voice kept ringing in my ears: "Go, do what you want."

As long as Shen Jiyun is cheated one more time, he can enter the Mirror Flower and Water Moon Tower.

Jiang Li took a step forward, the hem of his clothes skimmed across the water, was wet by the pool water, and there was a pattering sound as he walked.

If Shen Jiyun felt something, he looked over with a ray of attention.

At this moment of distraction, the black mist licked up like a tongue of fire, scorching his wrist black.

He frowned, as if he couldn't feel the pain, he held his fingers tightly.

In just a moment, Jiang Li had already arrived in front of him.

Shen Jiyun remained silent, just watched quietly.

Jiang Li paused.

Shadow urged secretly: "Hurry up, it's now. If you miss this opportunity, you will have to wait another 100 years to enter the Mirror Flower and Water Moon Tower next time."

Jiang Li seemed to be in a daze, and stretched out his hand towards Shen Jiyun, the moonlight flowed on the fingertips, and the chill was overwhelming.

Shen Jiyun saw the chilling killing intent, a strangeness flashed in his eyes, but he didn't escape, his figure was straight and motionless.

Jiang Li's voice was colder than the pond water: "Actually... I've been lying to you all along."

After finishing the words, he swung his wrist and smashed a round of moonlight down.

Shadow: "Yes, that's it—"

The voice stopped abruptly.

Because the moonlight was not falling on Shen Jiyun, but... the pool of water behind him.

boom--

The surface of the water exploded, and the waves were thrown into the air. After a pause, it was like heavy rain falling one after another, and splashed again.

Jiang Li turned sideways, and what was hidden under the water finally revealed its true face.

That is a fish.

Its body is round and black, and its mouth opens and closes, making a human voice.

"You lied to me!"

Jiang Li smiled: "Didn't I tell you everything? - I've been lying to you."

From the very beginning, he didn't believe what the thing said.

At the same time, there was a "Zeng" sound from behind.

Shen Jiyun finally pulled out his sword, the blade vibrated and hummed, shaking away the black mist that filled the surroundings.

The fog dissipated for a moment, a ray of moonlight cast down, and the water surface shimmered.

When I looked up, the looming tall buildings had disappeared.

Flowers in the mirror and moon in the water, dreamy empty flowers.

Everything is false.

The only thing that exists is the person in front of you.

Jiang Li didn't look back, and said in a low voice, "You really trust me."

Shen Jiyun said in a steady voice: "It seems that I am not mistaken."

Jiang Li snorted: "You're lucky, today I just don't want to lie."

What Shadow said was not wrong.

Shen Jiyun is Wangshu Immortal Monarch, so many people believe in him and respect him. To cheat his life at this time is indeed a big lie.

Maybe, relying on this lie, you can really enter the Flower in the Mirror and Water Moon Building.

But Jiang Li was not moved.

Before, he felt that entering the Mirror Flower and Water Moon Tower was his greatest long-cherished wish in this life.

And now, it seems to be nothing more than that.

Jiang Li and Shen Jiyun looked at each other, they didn't say anything, but all the friendship was already silent.

Murloc: "..."

Didn't take it seriously, did you?

Not reconciled, the murloc wanted to seek a sense of existence, and uttered a mournful cry: "This is your burial place today!" It opened its mouth, and a pair of pale hands stretched out from it, "I want to eat you... ..."

When the temptation of lies was useless, the murloc finally showed its ferocious face.

Jiang Li tilted his head, his right hand was hanging in the air, palm facing downward, the moonlight condensed into a circular arc.

And Shen Jiyun took a step forward and stood shoulder to shoulder with him.Holding the hilt of the sword with one hand, the sharp blade was slowly pulled out, with a sharp sword aura.

The murloc twisted its body, spit out a cloud of black mist, and distorted human faces emerged from the black mist.

Under the abyss, it's about to explode.
