cross me

"Where's Xi Lin?"

Mu Qing stared at me with unfocused eyes, grabbed my shoulder and asked this sentence repeatedly.

Lin Xilin disappeared out of thin air, Qin Shihuan and I couldn't be sure whether she was taken away by the dead bones or woke up by herself.She is a charm, unlike Mu Qing who is a mortal, it is possible to break through the blockade of the six senses.But according to her affection for Mu Qing, it is impossible to leave alone.

Qin Shihuan and I guessed that it was more likely that the dead bones took her away.

But I can't tell Mu Qing like this.

I know how important Lin Xilin is to him.

I suddenly felt sorry for him.

Like, I feel sorry for myself.

"His consciousness is probably still at a certain moment, and the six senses have been blocked for a long time, and I'm afraid it won't be so easy to wake up." Qin Shihuan's jade ruler suddenly patted on the back of Mu Qing's neck, and Mu Qing's eyelids drooped again. Is fainted.

I rubbed my shoulders, although Mu Qing is a mortal, his strength is not weak, not to mention I didn't protect my body with spiritual power, I was afraid of hurting him.

"What should I do now?" I looked down at my feet, asked and then looked at Qin Shihuan.

With his hands behind his back, he looked at the giant golden pillar with his back to me, and said in a low voice, "This thing is walking."

"Huh?" I don't understand.

He turned around, put his hand on the golden seat, and slowly stroked the rune patterns on it, his brows were flattened and cautious, "Don't you feel it? Except for the initial violent shaking, it was followed by a steady and rhythmic movement." , as if walking with something on its back?"

When he said this, I felt the vibration under my feet carefully, as if the rhythm was very stable as he said, "It seems to be so."

"This golden pillar is solid. I don't know where it goes up and where it goes down. On the golden seat is the ancient banning technique. Even if the inspiration has completely dissipated at this time, it can still move these things so steadily. It's either sitting on the back of an ancient mythical beast, or in its stomach." He paused, moved to the seat, and waved to me as if he had discovered something.

I walked over with doubts, followed Qin Shihuan's line of sight, and saw the back of the golden seat. The embossed lines outlined a spirit beast with a dragon's head and a snake's tail. One foot was deeply planted in the ground, as if overwhelmed.

It is indeed carrying a heavy object, and what it is carrying is a golden pillar...

Everything is like a miniature here, just as one of Qin Shihuan's guesses, we are in the belly of this soul beast named Xuanwu.

"I seem to have seen this person before."

The only difference between the reliefs is that the woman in red in the golden throne has a physical body and appearance.

I rested my fingertips on her face, and my heart trembled slightly.

The Abyss of Lengji is endlessly dark and cold, and I always like to play around with the sleeping bones.They are impatient with me, and they always choose to hide.

Once, I searched many places but couldn't find the dead bones. I felt sullen and lost my mind and let my body sink endlessly. I don't know how long it has been sinking. A touch of bright red.

Looking carefully, I saw a woman in red, sitting on a wooden board with two vines, dangling gently to and fro.

Yin Hong was originally the color of scorching eyes, but between her cold brows, it seemed as if she had lost her color, it was cold and cold.

As if waiting for someone.

That's how I felt at the time.

I leaned towards her, and she turned her eyebrows as if she noticed me.

I was so choked up that I almost forgot to breathe.

She is beautiful.

I can only think of her like this, indulging in her face.

When I came back to my senses, she disappeared.

I saw her just once, but I often think of her, like a little secret that I never told my master.

But as time went by, I could hardly remember what she looked like, which often made me feel distressed and regretful.

After being burned by black flames, I suddenly thought of her, as if meeting her for the first time, and clearly remembered all her features.

After the incarnation, Leng Jiyuan contrasted my eyebrows, which was almost like her.

I don't know why, when I look at my face, I often feel like I stole something.

Myself, it seems, is not me either.

The touch traced by the fingertips made me feel that she had really existed.

I stroked the mask and thought of my own face under the mask, and the feeling of stealing something from someone else became stronger in an instant.

"Where did you see it?" Qin Shihuan asked softly.

I met his eyes, thought for a while, and finally asked, "Seeing Ming Lao Qi's face, you will think, you, aren't you yourself?"

"Hmm..." Qin Shihuan's eyes flashed a flash of emotion, so fast that I didn't catch what it was, so I heard him continue, "There was a moment. However, once I think of the people and things I know, They will call my name, they will consider my mood, I feel that I am still me, the existence I know. It is not another person."

"Is that so?" The people and things he mentioned, to me, seem to be only the master and those endless dry bones at the bottom of the cold and lonely abyss.However, they are not with me now.

So, who am I?

"Everything is relative and interdependent. An existence is always manifested through other existences, but this is only an appearance. The real existence still requires self-identification. This is the root of things. If you are confused about this point, then you need to think carefully about what you want." He smiled gently, and Yurui tapped his temples, making a movement that required thinking.

"What I want seems to be getting more and more complicated." My words are true. Here, there seems to be something more. Compared with what Qin Shihuan said in the forest, everything is more complicated and confusing. .

"Make it simple." Qin Shi added with a smile, and then glanced around the space, "It seems to be getting colder and colder. I don't know where this Xuanwu is going, we have to find a way to get out as soon as possible. It's so cold Go on, mortals can't bear it."

I knew he was talking about Mu Qing, so I nodded and looked at the darkness of the dome, "They came out from here, why don't you give it a try?"

"I have thought about it, but you may also feel it. This Xuanwu seems to be protecting something. The barrier is much stronger than when we came in just now. According to my ability, there is no way to break the barrier that rises from the soul beast. , a natural barrier." Qin Shihuan pulled his lips and smiled wryly, walked down the golden seat slowly, and went to Mu Qing's side, with an idea, the jade ruler glowing with azure light knotted on Mu Qing's forehead Made a body seal.

"Are you always treating people like this?" I knew he wanted to protect Mu Qing from the cold, so I couldn't help but ask.

"Don't you care about him? Nanbei Street asked me to help him. Now that I am protecting him, you want to say that I am not?" Qin Shihuan stood up and spoke eloquently. He raised his hand and the jade ruler fell by itself. In the air, Da Da floated sideways, violently swinging his two ends a few times, and then gradually stopped swinging in one direction.

"It's heading southeast." Qin Shihuan looked at where the jade ruler was pointing, turned around, and looked at me with an elegant look, "Since you like it, why don't you go for it?"

"The person I like may be him." Thinking of the missing Lin Xilin, I looked at Mu Qing, feeling uncomfortable in my heart, and said softly, "It doesn't matter whether he is the person I'm looking for in the end. I will Protect him. And, as you said, treat him as someone I know."

"It's right to think so." Qin Shihuan raised his eyebrows, with admiration in his eyes, and took back the jade ruler with his hands.

I pursed my lips and smiled, and asked him without doubt, "Then what we can do now is to wait?"

"Those tunnels may be worth a try." He turned his head and looked at the entrance of the tunnel behind the chain net.

Being able to come in safely from the tunnel is also a possibility to get out.

But under the powerful enchantment, it is only possible.

At this moment, Qin Shihuan's brows twitched suddenly, as if he had discovered something, and then he quickly hugged Mu Qing and gave me a look. With a clever move, his figure landed at the entrance of a corridor, and I immediately followed In the past, when the figure fell to the ground, it felt that the endless darkness below the platform gradually lit up, exuding a startling white light like ice, illuminating the entire space.

The moment Qin Shihuan moved, I also noticed that there were several changes in the inspiration, so I followed his actions. When I settled down, I realized that the inspiration came from below, so I settled down with the changes, Only then did he hold his breath, and looked down the corridor.

The original endless darkness is now completely dispelled, and the startling white light comes from huge ice blocks, as if the glacial land of the sea of ​​glaciers was moved over, covering the entire land boundary, spreading, and the boundary cannot be seen .

Go down the corridor wall where we are, and reach the ground floor at a height of tens of feet above the glacier. There are only four corridor entrances on the ground floor, and a suspended ice brick bridge with the width of the corridor entrance is spread diagonally, like a cross meeting in the center. The golden pillars penetrating down.The circular ice brick platform is still centered on the golden pillar, and the small golden runes spread out in circles, a total of seven circles, spreading to the four corners standing at the intersection of the four-corner ice bridge and the ice brick platform. At the feet of the mystic wrapped in a black burqa.

"Hey! Xiao Ye'er, do you think this coffin is your most respected elder brother?"

I have heard this voice before, it is Ji Mingzong.

Following his deliberate teasing and provocative tone, he also walked out from the tunnel in the north, followed by a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy in the shadows behind him.He is dressed in silver armor, with feathers in his helmet and hat, his eyebrows are like knives, his nose is straight and slender, his thin lips are cold and disdainful, and his tone of disdain is a little out of sync with his immature face. It seems that a cold face can maintain it That picture is old-fashioned.

Pressing the jade and silver sword embedded in his waist, the young man gave Ji Mingzong a cold look, "Second brother! The matter of elder brother's burial doesn't matter if I wait for me, and what kind of Mu family's child is named after him! The death of elder brother , don’t think that you can deceive the world by playing tricks. I’m going to pay you a second elder brother today. If you still think of something to fool me, don’t blame me for disrespecting you again when I find out the truth! "

"Then Ming Lao Qi was responsible for the burial, but he disappeared when you came back. If I am not sincere, I will follow you to the place after death." Ji Mingzong said, looking at the cross ice bridge Dozens of ice coffins float in the intersecting space, "The tomb of the Ji family has always been coveted by those who practice immortality and ask questions. If it were not for the protection of the Xuanwu soul beast, it would not have survived these years."

As soon as he said this, my heart moved, thinking that the young man behind him was Ji Mingche's younger brother, Ji Mingye.Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at Qin Shihuan, who came over to observe at some point.His side face was whitened by the startled white light, my heart was full of thoughts for a moment, and it gradually cooled down.

Could this person also covet this tomb?

"The array of spirit bones in the Ten Thousand Bone Tomb has been completely destroyed, the coefficients of the soul-binding cables have been exhausted and the bone of the God of War has not been retained, and the Xuanwu spirit beast has been disturbed again. Now I don't know where to take refuge. You are desperately returning from the fief If you don't investigate these crimes in Dujun, you want to get them on a dead person, what do you think the father will think of you?"

"What he thinks of me is not important at all. I have never disdained the throne, and you don't have to take me so seriously." Ji Mingye's mature face showed determination, "I just need to know who killed me." Big brother is dead, and I will return to my fief Guangmo, and I will never return to Yecheng after I have avenged this."

"It doesn't matter, it's just that the matter of Suzaku Sect at that time and what happened here, I am afraid that only Ming Lao Qi knows best. Now the others have disappeared, and now I am afraid that only the news that the God of War has awakened and is no longer buried in Ji's tomb will be understood." There are people who covet the God of War to find them. In this way, it will not only keep the tomb of my Ji family safe, but also find out the whereabouts of Ming Laoqi and others for you. You just need to wait patiently." Ji Mingzong got Ji Mingye's Xu Nuo, apparently in a good mood, helped Ji Mingye with his plans with a smile on his face.

"What's the matter with this God of War? Not only is it protected by an ancient soul beast, but it also attracts so many people? Our Ji family has paid a lot of lives for it over the years." Ji Mingye is still young, curious He couldn't hide his heart, he said this, and nodded to the four mystics, "You guys start."

"Of course there are benefits, and the benefits are still great. Otherwise, why do you think our Ji family got this world? If it weren't for the deterrence of the God of War, how could the Ji family have been able to live in the world for so many years?"

During Ji Mingzong's words, the palm seals of the four mystics in that room had been activated, and the seven circles of golden runes emitted a faint golden light, turning slowly like flowing water, and with the rapid and dense murmurs, this kind of The rotation became faster and faster, and the light became more and more dazzling, and a faint golden awn glowed from the gap in the suspended ice coffin lid.

"Get up!" Judong's mystic yelled, and the lid of the suspended ice coffin immediately lifted up, revealing the dry bones inside.

"Master, there is no newly buried eldest prince."

The sealing technique on the ice coffin is no less than my sealing Ning technique, you have to lift the coffin to get the breath inside, so the moment the coffin was opened, the mystic explored the breath inside clearly, and immediately reported it.

"Find it! Find it for me! Search through the tombs and find it for me!" Ji Mingye rushed in front of the mystic, grabbing his collar and yelling.

The mystic didn't feel annoyed either, and calmly brushed off Ji Mingye's hand, nodded and said without a clue, "Yes."

Ji Mingche's body was on the platform above, and it was not difficult to find it with the skill of the mystic. As expected, the mystic quickly landed in front of Ji Mingye with Ji Mingche's body in his arms.

"Brother..." Ji Mingye trembled slightly, and tears fell down his cheeks.After stumbling a few steps to the front of the mystic, he took Ji Mingche's body and fell to the ground, crying loudly with a pale face.

"Tomorrow night, elder brother has passed away. You'd better put your mind to it, put more thought into the matter of the god of war, and make contributions. If you don't guarantee that your father will forget the past, you will be forgiven for leaving the fief and returning to the capital without orders. crime." Ji Mingzong bent down and patted Ji Mingye's shoulder, not wanting to be shaken by Ji Mingye, so he threw it away.

"What Laoshizi God of War, what Ji's family, you are all the ones who killed my elder brother. When I find out, none of you can escape!" Ji Mingye snorted coldly, "Ghost Sha!"

"Yes." The mystic just now responded.

"Bury my elder brother well."

"Yes." The mystic moved his fingertips and saw Ji Mingche's body floating up in the air and moving sideways into an empty ice coffin.

"Seal!" The four mystics exited with the same seal, and the lid of the coffin that had been floating on the ice coffin fell down in unison, making a muffled sound of closing the coffin.

At the same time as the coffin was being closed, Ji Mingye knelt down with a plop, kowtowed three times in a row to Ji Mingche's ice coffin, and said sadly, "The ten-year agreement, I can't go at night, brother, you are waiting for a while on Huangquan Road." Wait, wait and see how Xiao Ye avenges you."

"Guisha, let's go." After Ji Mingye finished speaking, he straightened up and walked away.

He is still a boy, but his figure that should be full of energy is showing a heavy figure at this moment. Looking at his straight and stubborn back, I feel a little blocked in my heart, and I can't tell what I feel.

That Ji Mingzong fell behind, with a calculating look of complacency in the corners of his eyes.I'm afraid he participated in a lot of Ji Mingche's death, but he pushed all of it to Ming Laoqi, and even used this to let Ji Mingye take care of the God of War for him. It was really a good plan.

I sneered in my heart, the world is dangerous, but that's all.

"Follow them." Qin Shihuan suddenly said, and I immediately understood his thoughts.

Since it is the tomb of the Ji family, spirit beasts must be allowed to enter and exit. As long as we hide our brains properly, we will definitely find opportunities when they go out.

I nodded, and followed his lead with Mu Qing on his back.

I was speechless all the way, followed Ji Mingzong and his entourage in the dark corridor for a long time, and finally heard Ji Mingzong whisper, "Since the elder brother has been buried, there is no one in charge of Qingzhimen, do you have any ideas?"

"It doesn't matter what happened to the Mu family. When God of War wakes up again, the power of Qing Zhimen may no longer be able to block her, and it will be useless to keep her. Since Mu Qing believes that our Ji family owes him, If you don’t return it to him, that’s the big brother’s wish.” Ji Mingye paused, and said bitterly, “On the one hand, Ming Laoqi used the Ji family, and on the other hand, he harmed big brother, no matter whether his master is really God of War, even if it is, I will definitely get back this debt."

"That's up to you." Ji Mingzong sighed helplessly, "What do you plan to do next?"

"Didn't the master of Wuxiang Academy come to Yecheng?"

"You mean?"

There was surprise in Ji Mingzong's tone, I stared sideways at Qin Shihuan, he obviously raised his eyebrows unexpectedly.

"It's rare to ask three times, it's rare in a hundred years, and we may not be the only ones who can think of it. What's more, now, I'm afraid that we can only re-ban the God of War if we ask Shi Zhijuan to come out of the mountain again."

"Xiao Ye'er, I never imagined that you would be so thoughtful." Ji Mingzong's tone was very light, with an indescribable coldness oozing out like that, which made me feel very uncomfortable, and I couldn't wait to see him even more. .

"Ji Mingzong, if you don't trust me, then please do it, and wait until I avenge my elder brother, how about that?" Ji Mingye scolded coldly, without leaving any leeway.

"Hmph." Ji Mingzong snorted coldly, "I'm not that untrustworthy. The man is in Diliyuan, and the national teacher invited him to go. If you want to go, I will inform the national teacher. The rest, I won't help you, and I won't stop you again."

"..."

In this way, their voices could no longer be heard, and in the dry corridor, a damp wind suddenly came oncoming, and Qin Shihuan said, "It should be the exit."
