Chapter 42
Chapter 42
The stairs spiraled up, with no end in sight.
The fog in front of my eyes was so white that I couldn't see anything clearly.
Here, time and space have lost their meaning, only the touch of the palm is obvious.
Jiang Li's fingers trembled slightly, and they slid across Shen Jiyun's palm.
Shen Jiyun's palms are rough, with a layer of calluses on the tiger's mouth, and the palms are hot and hot, which makes people feel at ease for no reason.
Especially in such a silent situation, the sense of touch became more and more obvious.
Jiang Li only felt that he was going to be melted by the heat, and subconsciously wanted to pull his hand back.
But as soon as he moved, his wrist was tapped, his fingers were clenched, and the flames were on fire.
Jiang Li couldn't help but gasped, and said softly, "Take it easy."
Shen Jiyun let out a "huh" and took Jiang Li's fingers into his palm with his backhand. The fingers were intertwined, making it difficult to separate them.
Jiang Li: "..."
Forget it.
Let him go.
After walking up the stairs for an unknown amount of time, the fog finally showed signs of dissipating.
Indistinctly ahead, a figure could be seen.
When he got close, he saw that the man had long hair and shawls, handsome features, handsome, and gentle.
"I don't know if there is a guest coming here, and I am sorry for the inconvenience."
Jiang Li stood still, and the corners of his lips parted slightly: "The landlord."
The one who can appear on the tenth floor is none other than the owner of Tianya Haijiao Building.
The host: "To welcome guests from all over the world, I have specially prepared a feast, why don't you two go to attend?" While talking, he turned around and was startled when he saw the visitor, "...It turned out to be you. "
Jiang Li raised his eyebrows: "You recognize us?"
The landlord said meaningfully: "I remember every guest, especially..." He paused, "Two such special guests."
Jiang Li: "Where does the word special come from?"
The landlord said nothing, but glanced at the overlapping hands of the two, and smiled slightly.
Jiang Li noticed his gaze, calmly put his hand in front of his face, as if to say: That's it?
The landlord complimented: "The two of you are really gentlemen, please take a seat."
With a wave of his hand, a white mist drifted past, and then a crystal palace appeared in front of him.
The host sits upright in the upper position, with a long table placed under each of the left and right hands, and the position is vacant, waiting for someone to take a seat.
Seeing this, Jiang Li raised his hand to cover his mouth and nose, and muttered, "I feel like even if I scolded him a few words just now, he would praise me for my kindness."
I don't know if the landlord heard it, but the smile on his face remained unchanged.
Jiang Li raised his head and asked, "Can I sit down?"
The landlord did not answer directly, but only smiled and said: "I hope that the two guests will do as they please, this is the rule of our Tianya Haijiao Building."
If the guests don't obey the rules, then the host doesn't have to obey.
Jiang Li heard the meaning behind the words, and rolled his eyes slightly: "Then the two of us will sit together."
Before the landlord could say anything, he heard him say briskly, "He loves me so much that he can't leave me for a moment, please forgive me."
Landlord: "..."
Shen Jiyun, who loves him to death: "..."
After Jiang Li finished talking, his expression remained unchanged, as if something was going on.He didn't look at Shen Jiyun's reaction at all, and directly pulled him to sit on the seat.
The long table is not spacious, two people are sitting in front of them, their shoulders are tightly pressed against each other, it is impossible to distinguish between you and me.
When the landlord came back to his senses, the dust had already settled in front of his eyes, so he couldn't say anything more.He raised his hands together and clapped his hands together, making two "slaps", and the maids in underwear filed in, holding a jade plate, walking in a graceful posture, setting off bursts of fragrant wind.
The maid leaned over and filled the jade cup with wine.
The landlord raises a glass and invites him to drink.
Jiang Li knew that there was something wrong with the wine, so he raised his hand to block it with his sleeve, but didn't drink it down.After a little camouflage, the wine glass is ready to be put down.
But at this moment, he couldn't help but look down.
The wine glass was shaken, and the liquor rippled.
What was reflected inside was not his face, but...a tall building.
The eaves of the high-rise buildings are in the shape of hexagons, and the corners of the eaves are flying high. On the walls, there are painted reliefs, such as Chang'e chasing the moon and fairies worshiping the moon... It is fascinating and fascinating.
And behind the building, a round of September moon hangs high.
This is... Mirror Flower Water Moon Tower.
It was also the place Jiang Li could not ask for after spending his whole life.
He lost his mind for a moment, stood up abruptly, and accidentally knocked over the wine glass.
Looking up again, Shen Jiyun beside him had long since disappeared, only the white mist filled the air.
"Do you want to go to the Mirror Flower and Water Moon Tower? That is an unattainable place..."
"The mediocre people in the world are busy, how can they pick the bright moon?"
"You can't get there."
Jiang Li was in a daze for a while: "Can't I go?"
That voice seemed to be full of some kind of magical power, making people addicted to it: "Yeah, I can't go, but you still have other options."
Jiang Li: "For example?"
"Stay here."
"What you can get in Jinghua Shuiyue Tower, you can also get here."
Jiang Li's eyes flashed, and two words popped up in his heart - bullshit.
When he heard this, he was fully awake, but he still showed hesitation on his face.
"I……"
"What are you hesitating about?"
Jiang Li: "It's not impossible to let me stay, it's just..."
"Just what?"
Jiang Li opened his mouth and came: "It's just that Shen Jiyun loves me so much that he loves to death, I am not willing to leave him alone, if he is willing, I will stay."
"..."
"……All right."
The white mist dissipated, and Shen Jiyun's figure appeared in front of him again.I don't know what kind of demonic world he fell into, his brows were furrowed, and the folds were like mountains and rivers.
He gritted his teeth tightly, clenched his hands into fists, and said nothing.
Jiang Li approached and put his hand on his shoulder.
Through a thin layer of clothes, I can still feel a hot breath.
Devil...
No one can beat the desire of the heart.
That was the most repressed and most irresistible thought.
Even Jiang Li is only temporarily sober, if he stays for a long time, even he is not sure whether he will sink in it.
Now I have to think of a way to wake up Shen Jiyun and break away the demons in front of me.
Jiang Li grasped his strong shoulders with force, "Shen Jiyun? Immortal?"
Shen Jiyun's eyelids moved, as if he was about to wake up.
Jiang Li had a thought: "Shen Jiyun, call out your inner demon!"
This is an illusion created by the landlord of the Tianya Haijiao Tower to lure them into demons, but what if...there are demons in their hearts?
No one can break the happy magic realm.
Unless, use the demon to defeat the demon.
As soon as the words fell, Shen Jiyun opened his eyes abruptly, and there was a little fire in the pupils, burning hotly, so hot that people dare not look directly at them.
His eyes were sharp, and with a flip of his right hand, a sword intent flew into the air.
A white line emerged in mid-air, and fell silently, splitting the white mist in front of it, and heading straight for the host's location.
There was a shrill scream in the mist, and even the entire Tianya Haijiao Building trembled, as if it was about to fall over in the waves.
The tortoise was not affected, and was still paddling the water slowly, with the Tianya Haijiaolou on its back, wandering in the sea.
In the sky, a round of moonlight slowly emerged, casting a layer of light gauze on the sea.
After a loud bang, everything returned to calm.
……
in the building.
The host's body fell limply, behind him was connected a translucent tentacle, and in the center of the tentacle was a head as tall as a man.
Wisps of black smoke billowed from his head, a huge hole was pierced, and acid water flowed out all over the place, making a "sizzling" sound.
After this weird thing died, the mist also dissipated, and Tianya Haijiaolou showed its true colors.
The blue sea is rippling, and the new moon is rising.
Under the surface of the sea, countless treasures flicker.
With a movement of Jiang Li's palm, a piece of jade slip flew out from his cuff and sank into the bottom of the sea.
Then there was a "buzz", and a white light broke through the sea, suspended in mid-air.
The white light dissipated, and what appeared in front of him was an enlarged version of the jade slip. The handwriting on the jade slip flowed, and countless names flashed across.
Jiang Li stepped across the sea, came to the jade slip, tapped his finger lightly, the writing on it stopped at this moment, and his and Shen Jiyun's names appeared.
A hundred years ago, he and Shen Jiyun really came here.
The jade slip flashed again, and the pearls on the bottom of the sea flickered, and two of the pearls jumped out and came in front of Jiang Li and Shen Jiyun.
Jiang Li's gaze paused.
The Tianya Haijiao Building has its own rules. Everyone who goes up and leaves will gain one thing and lose another thing.
There are gains and losses.
This is what they left in Tianya Haijiaolou last time.
Jiang Li stretched out his hand and touched it lightly, a sense of clarity surged up, and the Lingtai was suddenly clear.It was as if a gust of wind had blown away the mist in the sea of consciousness, and filled the blank space in the past with color.
Images flashed through my mind.
Back then when he and Shen Jiyun climbed to the Tianya Haijiao Tower together, they hit it off right away and had a very happy conversation.
Then, a sudden change occurred, and almost everyone was trapped in the building, deeply trapped in the realm of demons and illusions.
Only he and Shen Jiyun kept clear, and they also pretended to be lost in order to confuse the people hiding in the dark.
Unexpectedly, the fake show was actually done, and a secret love was born.
It's just a twist of fate, after leaving the Tianya Haijiao Building, this memory was kept in the building as a "price".
And they forgot everything and went their separate ways.
But even if they don't remember anything, they still subconsciously remember the hundred-year agreement and return to Tianya Haijiao Tower again.
……
The sky will be bright, the moon will set and the sun will rise.
On the sea level, an orange halo spread out, like a fire.
After the host died, all the people in the Tianya Haijiao Building were thrown out, and they lost consciousness one by one, and fell into a coma on the sea.
The sea breeze blows.
Jiang Li stood in the air above the sea, looking at Shen Jiyun in silence.
Shen Jiyun's expression was stern and calm.But no one knew that under the cover of his sleeves, his fingers were tightly clenched, and the veins on the back of his hands burst out because of too much force.
Jiang Li didn't know that he and Shen Jiyun still had such a past, so he didn't know what to say for a while.
After a while, the sea was too quiet, he hesitated and said, "...how about forgetting about it?"
Shen Jiyun said lightly: "Forget what?"
Jiang Li: "You practice the way of ruthlessness. It's really not good for us to continue."
Shen Jiyun got to the bottom of it: "Why not?"
Jiang Li glanced over.
Is it possible that he really needs to speak clearly?
He coughed: "It's not good to damage your Dao heart."
Shen Jiyun raised his eyelids and spoke slowly: "It's too late."
Jiang Li: "?"
Shen Jiyun: "It's already broken."
Before Jiang Li could react, he was hugged into his arms with such force that it almost crushed him into his blood, and he would never be separated.
He looked up and met a pair of dark eyes. In the pupils of the eyes, a little fire was burning, like the embodiment of desire.
His heart skipped a beat.
Only then did he react belatedly, did he provoke someone who shouldn't?
……
at the same time.
a long distance away.
Too forgetful, Wang Shufeng.
There was a loud bang out of thin air, like thunder on a sunny day, shaking people into panic.
Taiwangzong's disciples raised their heads one after another, looking for the place where the voice came from.
"Where is such a big movement?"
"Could it be some senior sister Yaoxiu who blew up the alchemy furnace?"
"I see, the spirit beasts in the zoo are restless again."
At the beginning, the disciples were chatting and laughing, but they didn't take this matter to heart at all. It wasn't until a disciple turned pale and trembled that they realized something was wrong.
"what happened?"
"Could it be that you were frightened?"
"It's okay, our sect will make trouble like this every now and then."
The stunned disciple couldn't even speak: "No, it's not..." He raised his hand tremblingly, "Wang Shufeng, it's collapsed."
Following his words, all the disciples subconsciously looked at where Wang Shufeng was.
Wangshu Peak is the main peak of Taiwangzong, soaring into the sky, surrounded by other peaks and stars.Therefore, no matter where you are, you can see Shu Feng.
And now, Wangshu Peak has collapsed.
The huge stone rolled down, kicking up a cloud of dust. After falling into the abyss, there was no movement at all, as if a huge mouth opened below, swallowing everything.
In everyone's mind, there was a doubt: Wang Shufeng, how could it collapse?
Since joining the Taiwang Sect, every disciple has been familiar with the story about Wangshu Xianjun. They are full of yearning for Xianjun, and even Wangshufeng's status is supreme, and he has become an existence admired by everyone.
But now, Wang Shufeng fell, and it seemed that something in their hearts was shattered.
On this day, all the disciples watched Wang Shufeng collapse, his face pale and slumped.
The present situation of Wang Shufeng also seems to indicate the future of Taiwangzong.
……
In the mountains, there was an incredible roar.
"how so!"
"When did Wangshu Xianjun leave?"
"Why didn't any of you notice?"
Elder Mo stood at the front, dripping with cold sweat as he faced the questioning questions.He couldn't help but stretched out his hand to wipe it, and tried his best to explain: "No one dares to go to Wangshu Peak on weekdays, and the formation works freely, so no one notices the abnormality..."
The suzerain sneered: "It operates freely? Is this what you mean by operating freely?"
A surge of majestic spiritual energy directly sent Elder Mo flying, hitting a distant mountain, and then stopped.
Elder Mo vomited a mouthful of blood, but he didn't dare to slack off at all. He quickly got up again and returned to his original position.
"Sovereign." He was respectful, without any complaints, "The most important thing now is to cover up those things in the abyss."
The things in the abyss are too weird and evil. All along, it was the formation on Wangshu Peak that suppressed them in the abyss.
Now that the formation is broken and the mountain falls, it seems that it will be impossible to hide it.
If the things in the abyss appear in the world, Taiwangzong's reputation will not be guaranteed.
The suzerain snorted coldly: "You still want to say?"
Elder Mo lowered his head: "I'm just thinking about the sake of the sect..."
The suzerain said sadly: "If you really think about the sake of the sect, you should suppress the abyss with your body instead of talking nonsense here."
Elder Mo's face turned green immediately, and he couldn't speak a word.
After a while, the suzerain spoke again: "Wangshu Feng fell, the formation has been broken, which means... Wangshu Xianjun's ruthless way has been broken, and it is useless."
Elder Mo showed a look of astonishment.
He watched Shen Jiyun become a fairy all the way. Shen Jiyun, with a strong will and a ruthless face, is the most suitable candidate for cultivating the way of ruthlessness.
To break the ruthless way, the only way is to be emotional.
And what kind of person can break Shen Jiyun's ruthless way?
Elder Mo couldn't figure it out, and of course he didn't need to figure it out.
The suzerain said: "Since the truth is ruthless, he must be deeply trapped in the devil's barrier, and spread the word——Wangshu Xianjun fell into the devil, destroyed Wangshu Peak with a sword, and rebelled against the sect." He paused, "Those things in the abyss are naturally the same. Hope Shu Xianjun can figure it out."
"Our Taiwangzong naturally wants to kill relatives righteously and kill Wangshu Xianjun with all our strength."
Elder Mo: "This..."
Sovereign: "Is there any other question?"
Elder Mo met the suzerain's cold gaze, and swallowed back what he wanted to say: "No."
Sovereign: "Then spread the word."
Elder Mo: "Yes."
