Tianmenguan.

The cold wind howled, passing over the vast ice field in the extreme north, wrapped in swirling snowflakes and disappeared at the end of the horizon. The four divine birds pulled the long car through the cold clouds and landed at the foot of the glacier, splashing snow and mist into the sky, and rushed in all directions.

As soon as the car door was opened, Yu Chixiao was pushed back several steps by the strong wind, gritted his teeth and asked, "What are we doing here?"

There was no answer from behind.

When Yu Chixiao turned his head, he saw Xu Shuangce staring at Gong Wei in his arms, leaning over for a long time to press a kiss between his brows, and gently brushing his temples behind his ears, letting him sleep on the soft cushion behind the table , and then got up and walked out of the giant cart, and the doors closed one after another behind him.

"..." Yu Chixiao looked at Sect Master Cangyang's cold side face, and finally couldn't help asking: "You must be very happy to see me suffer, Sect Master Xu?"

Xu Shuangce said calmly, "Nephew, you are overthinking."

He looked around, and the vast and continuous ice field was reflected in his eyes. After a long while, he finally pointed in a direction against the cold wind: "Over there."

The blood river cart couldn't get close to the area where the spiritual power was too thin. The two of them traveled more than 400 miles all the way, and the two long footprints behind them were soon covered by wind and snow.

At dawn, the traces left by the last fierce battle finally began to appear along the way. The glaciers that had been sawed off in half by the axe and axe towered abruptly under the sky, and the vast snowfield was riddled with holes. Yu Chixiao couldn't help standing still, the spectacular scene in front of him made him dizzy: "This...is this the place where you destroyed the World Exterminating Soldiers last time?"

Xu Shuangce stopped, "Yes."

Yu Chixiao was stunned: "There is a hidden way back to this world?!"

"To be precise, it is not a road, but a person."

Yu Chixiao was full of doubts, only to see Xu Shuangce turned his head slightly, and asked for no reason: "Have you ever thought about where the souls of monks who 'died' like Changsun Chengfeng have gone in these years?"

Yu Chixiao was stunned, and then suddenly realized: "—they were not killed by the realm master himself, so they can't return to the present world..."

"Yes. They are still alive in the present world, but unfortunately died in the dream. Their souls can only be temporarily stored in the corner between the present world and the dream, and they can't go anywhere. But this does not mean that they can escape. If When the dreamland collapses, they will be wiped out like us; on the contrary, if we end the dreamland and return to the present world, they can come back with us."

"Except for one soul...not so well-behaved." Xu Shuangce changed the subject, with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes: "This person is well versed in the secret art of ghost cultivation and knows that he is in a dream. He is extremely unwilling when he is about to die. He both There are abilities and reasons, so the soul probably didn't go anywhere, and is still attached to his own bones."

Yu Chixiao lost his voice and asked, "Who?"

Xu Shuangce moved his eyes down, stared down at the ground under his feet, and spit out three words: "Du Kaixun."

Suddenly Yu Chixiao remembered who this person was, and saw Xu Shuangce suddenly pressed his hands down, his spiritual power roared out, crashing to the ground!

The frozen ground under his feet was forcibly dug out by spiritual power, and the hard boulder was lifted and thrown into the distance. The ground shook and the mountains shook, the glacier roared, and Yu Chixiao was forced to take several steps back. Xu Shuangce flicked his sleeves, lifted up the black frozen rock as large as a hill from the air, and threw it several kilometers away. Thousand feet deep giant pit.

Boom!

Xu Shuangce stopped and took a breath, Yu Chixiao immediately stepped forward against the soaring ice and snow, and said loudly: "Sect Master Xu! You only have half a golden core left, so it's better to save your strength temporarily! Let the juniors dig it out, at least it can be done faster !"

"..."

Xu Shuangce turned his head to look at the young master of Yejinmen, looked him up and down for a moment, then turned slightly sideways and said cheerfully: "My nephew has filial piety, so it's very good."

Yu Chixiao then stepped forward and stood by the edge of the deep pit, rolled up his sleeves without hesitation, poured spiritual power into the deep pit under his feet, and shouted: "Ha—"

The spiritual power continued to increase every minute, and the mysterious stone at the bottom of the pit, which had been frozen for thousands of years, was finally slightly shaken. After a few breaths, a rock about the size of half a room was finally pried open, and it was lifted up into the air, followed by a boom!

The rock fell back to the bottom of the pit, splashing a large cloud of smoke and dust, and never moved again.

Yu Chixiao was panting like a cow, leaning on his knees and staring at the deep pit. After a long time, he slowly turned his head to look at Xu Shuangce, his pupils trembling uncontrollably.

Xu Shuangce said: "The aura of the heaven and earth is thin here, you and I are suppressed, and it is normal to only have two or three points left in ten miles."

"..."

"But nephew still needs to study hard." After a pause, Xu Shuangce added the second half of the sentence kindly.

The entire ice sheet kept shaking, and several hours later, a huge black pit was dug out of the already sunken basin. Xu Shuang raised his hand and pried the huge rock out of the pit to remove it. Suddenly, there was a strong thunderous sound from the bottom of his feet.

It was finally dug through!

The bottom of the huge crater directly penetrates the deep underground stream where the soldiers who destroyed the world were buried in the past, and the deep stream is further down to the core of the lava. A gust of dark air that was almost condensed into substance gushed out, like a black dragon, straight to the sky, and it took half a stick of incense to dissipate, revealing the bottomless true face.

Xu Shuangce pressed his palm on the ground, and said in a deep voice: "Ghosts don't look back, life and death are like morning and evening. Get up!"

This is the second time Yu Chixiao has heard Xu Shuangce recite this incantation to summon the undead. The first time was in the mortuary of the twenty-eight beautiful corpses in Linjiangdu, touching the coffins and asking the real culprits who killed them—but at this moment Compared with that time, things have changed.

He didn't care about being sentimental, and saw the same situation as last time in the mortuary, as if there was an invisible rope hanging the bones in the abyss, a figure in a gray robe burst out of the ground wrapped in billowing Yin Qi, then slowly raised his head, His pale face was revealed.

At that moment Yu Chixiao blurted out: "Master Juzong?!"

Immediately afterwards, he realized that he was wrong—although the handsome facial features were quite similar, the face in front of him was obviously deeper, and the expression was darker, with a crazy and paranoid light faintly flowing in the depths of his eyes.

Xu Shuangce stood against the wind, saying word by word: "Du, Kai, Xun."

"..."

The dead soul in the gray robe and hood laughed, and his voice was deeper than Changsun Chengfeng's: "I've been waiting for you for a long time, and I thought you wouldn't come...As expected of Sect Master Xu."

Du Kaixun actually stayed here seriously and didn't leave!

Yu Chixiao was shocked and froze in place.

"Finally one day I was able to see Sect Master Cangyang in such a state of embarrassment. It's really emotional." Du Kaixun looked the two living people up and down, and said with a smile, "You are finally willing to make a deal with me." Is it, Sect Master Xu?"

Yu Chixiao subconsciously: "W-what deal?"

Xu Shuangce didn't answer him, but looked directly at Du Kaixun directly above, and said, "At the beginning, you were the only person in this dream with some memories of this world."

Du Kaixun said calmly, "I am."

"Because the magic power of the Butterfly Death Dream Life Technique has a part of your immunity."

"Yes."

Xu Shuangce asked, "Why?"

Du Kaixun's smile deepened, and he said slowly: "Because no one knows, I also tried to steal Gong Wei's right eye in this world. , pale golden blood..."

From the first year of Taiyi to the twenty-eighth year of Taiyi, the dream is basically a reenactment of the present world—Du Kaixun in the dream was sent to the Immortal League for abusing Bai Fei, and Du Kaixun in the present world did the same thing thing.

It's just that Du Kaixun in this world is imprisoned in Xunshu Palace, where he meets Gong Wei who just came into the world, behaves secretly, and is hostile and rejected by everyone. He found that Gong Wei's bewitching right pupil seemed extremely unusual, so he boldly tried to steal it, but of course he was blown away by Gong Wei's palm.

Coincidentally, at that moment, the tip of the knife scratched Gong Wei's eye socket, and a tiny trace of pale golden blood stained Du Kaixun's fingertips. Du Kaixun himself was so shocked that his five fingers cracked and were dripping with blood. When he was running away, he made a convenient movement - licked the blood off his fingertips together with Gong Wei's blood.

No one thought that the divine power contained in Gong Wei's trace of blood later made Du Kaixun the only lucky one in the dream.

"You have unintentionally become the only link connecting the present world and the dream world." Xu Shuangce stared at Du Kaixun, his tone was steady and completely stated: "So your soul can freely shuttle between the present world and the dream world."

Du Kaixun said: "Yes, but it is only a soul, and cannot return to the body in this world."

"What will happen when you return to your original body?"

"As long as I move my body, the time in this world will immediately start to flow again. On the Ascension to Immortal Terrace, Immortal Jing was helplessly passed by, and the dream suddenly collapsed. All of you are completely hopeless."

Xu Shuangce was silent for a moment, Du Kaixun's soul looked at him with pity in mid-air: "So I can't use my hands to help you pull out the helplessness that is inserted in the heart of Jingxian on the Shengxiantai."

The cold wind whizzed past the two of them, like a sharp cry, and disappeared into the distance.

"..."

After an unknown amount of time, Xu Shuangce finally moved from the shadows, revealing reddish and calm eyes: "Then can your soul bring back a spell for me to bring me to the Immortal Ascension Platform?"

Yu Chixiao's eyes moved back and forth between the two of them in bewilderment—a spell?

He didn't understand what charades these two were playing at all, but there was a solemn and desolate atmosphere in the air, which pressed him down there heavily, and he didn't even dare to make a sound for breathing easily.

"Sect Master Xu," Du Kaixun smiled, and there was a faint sadness in that smile, as if he had already expected Xu Shuangce's choice today: "The reason why my soul has been waiting here is because I know that when the situation is too bad When redeeming, you will think of sending that talisman to Shengxiantai in this world..."

After a pause, he took a deep breath, as if he had finally made up his mind: "In exchange, I need you to help me draw the same set of spells."

Xu Shuangce was not surprised: "One for you, one for who?"

Du Kaixun seemed to tremble even in his soul: "...Changsun Chengfeng."

As the name came out, an extremely complicated light flashed in his eyes, mixed with deep resentment, unwillingness, and sorrow, but in the end they all turned into heavy helplessness.

He said hoarsely: "Changsun Chengfeng was pierced by Jingxian's sword in the chest on the Ascension to Immortal Terrace, and he was left with his last breath. After returning to the present world, he will definitely die. If he dies, Bai Shi will...can't live anymore."

Xu Shuangce didn't speak, but looked at him quietly. Du Kaixun's soul is wrapped in a gray robe, he seems to have never been happy, like a lonely soul that no one remembers when he comes and goes between heaven and earth, even talking to himself is low and hoarse: "I hate white Grail. I really hate him. But what can I do? He is the only thing in this world that is completely mine, even his heart once belonged to me."

He opened his mouth and said tremblingly, "...I really hate him."

Xu Shuangce stepped forward, flicking his sleeve and pressing it in Du Kaixun's outstretched palm. The spiritual power suddenly condensed into two golden talismans, one was written "Eldest Grandson", which directly melted into Du Kaixun's soul and disappeared; , was held tightly by him.

Xu Shuangce said: "Just paste it on the chest of your brother's body in this world."

Du Kaixun asked, "Where's yours?"

Xu Shuangce lowered his eyes, and flicked his sleeves again—one of the two talismans produced by the condensed spiritual power this time was written with "Xu", and also fell into Du Kaixun's hand; the other was directly pasted on the back of Xu Shuangce's right hand. A little fox drawn in cinnabar.

A few strokes are lifelike and naive, as if every stroke of it is full of love that has never been put into words, and it has instantly submerged into Xu Shuangce's flesh and blood.

"—Wait," Yu Chixiao seemed to have a premonition, stepped forward suddenly, and asked in a trembling voice: "What talisman are you going to send back to the present world? What is this talisman for? Could it be..."

Xu Shuangce only glanced at him, did not answer, turned to Du Kaixun and said, "This talisman is a one-off, and only works on fatal damage. If you fail once, there is no chance to try again."

Du Kaixun closed his eyes and nodded.

No one made a sound, only the cold wind whimpered, brushing Xu Shuangce's hair and robe sleeves. After a while, Kai Xun opened his eyes in mid-air, looked at him and smiled, and said, "Sect Master Xu, I never thought that you and I would finally have such a day where we can compare our hearts to each other."

Xu Shuang stepped back half a step, with a calm face: "Brother Du, go and cherish it."

Du Kaixun's soul gave him a deep salute, turned around and disappeared into the boundless world.

"...Sect Master Xu?" Yu Chixiao finally heard his own voice, and a deep and ominous premonition gripped his heart tightly: "What are you doing? What is that talisman for? What does it mean that it only works on fatal injuries? ?you…"

"Yuchi Yuanju," Xu Shuang said.

Yu Chixiao froze in place as if his throat had been choked.

"People will always make mistakes in their lives. Some harm themselves, some harm others, and some harm the ones they love. The harm has been done, and looking back is just empty talk. We can only do everything we can to bear it."

Xu Shuangce turned around with his hands behind his back. Yu Chixiao is already very tall, but Cangyang Sect Master is two points higher. When facing each other like this, there is a kind of calmness and indisputability of the superior person: "Even if you pay the price of your life."

"..." Yu Chixiao stared at Xu Shuangce, his pupils trembling slightly, and squeezed out a few words through clenched teeth: "What's the name of that talisman?"

boom—

The extreme arctic ice field couldn't stop shaking, the sky seemed to be torn apart suddenly, a black hole collapsed, and a strong hurricane swept across the earth in an instant!

Yu Chixiao saw Xu Shuangce open his mouth, the words were drowned in the roar, but the shape of his mouth was clearly reflected in his eyes.

In an instant, Yu Chixiao's pupils dilated sharply, and the last trace of blood on his face faded away.

The earth collapsed, the sky collapsed, and the torrent of annihilation covered the sky and covered the earth, creating a magnificent scene on the vast ice sheet.

The last moment has finally come.

Xu Shuangce walked up the cliff step by step against the wind and snow. Gong Wei did not know when he had woken up, and was standing at the highest point in front of him. Layers of soft crimson halos spread to the sky and the earth centered on him, like gauze and fog, and the aura was shining brightly. The process of world destruction.

He is like the last pinnacle under the sky, but his back looks so lonely, so unattainable.

Yu Chixiao's eyes were reddish, he stopped ten feet away, and turned his head away.

Xu Shuangce stepped forward and stopped by Gong Wei's side. He turned his head and smiled, his blood-red eyes were pure and gentle: "I'm going to see you off."

In front of him was the endless gray and white land and the sky full of wind and snow. Xu Shuangce stared at the **** in front of him, as if he wanted to completely engrave the soft tail of his eyelashes and the arc of his lips in his soul , will never be eliminated by reincarnation and time.

"...Gong Wei," he finally asked hoarsely, "does it hurt when you are pierced by helplessness?"

Gong Wei thought for a while and said, "Maybe it hurt at the time. But it's okay, I've forgotten about it."

Xu Shuangce's tone was trembling imperceptibly: "Why did you forget?"

"Maybe it's because the sweet dreams before dying always make people happy!" Gong Wei looked at the roaring world under his feet, and the smile in his eyes deepened: "And it doesn't hurt to see you by my side for the last time. .”

—He always gives forgiveness so easily, like a ball of sweet dreams that are so unreal, gently enveloping the world. Only good things will happen in the dream, and any sadness, disappointment, pain and disaster are shielded by his gentle and powerful power.

He is like the most supreme blessing bestowed by heaven on earth.

The sky over the extreme north finally couldn't hold it anymore, and it collapsed in a thunderous bang, and then it was like a defeated army retreating steadily, the sky dome boomed and fell like countless gray boards, large and small, the black hole extended thousands of miles, from the end of the horizon Swept over here quickly.

The crimson halo filling the world gradually disappeared, Gong Wei finally stopped making the last effort, raised his hand to hold the hilt of Bai Taishou's sword, and the sleeves of his robe rose in the wind and snow.

His voice was calm and calm: "I want to say goodbye to you, Xu Bai."

Xu Shuangce stared at his god, nodded for a while, and smiled tremblingly: "...Gong Wei."

"Um?"

Gong Wei raised his head to look at him, and was immediately hugged into an embrace that smelled of white sandalwood, with such force that it seemed to rub his whole body into his bones and blood. Xu Shuangce put a hand around the back of his head, stroked the temple hair on his forehead vigorously, and whispered tremblingly in his ear:

"sorry."

Miyagi opened his eyes wide.

The next moment, severe pain pierced his right eye like lightning, and blood arrows flew out.

"...Xu Bai?" Gong Wei burst out two words in astonishment, and then roared through the universe: "Xu Bai—!"

The world's most gigantic, most magnificent, most tragic and strange illusion - Butterfly Death and Dream Life, is completely dispelled at this moment.

The blizzard poured back into the sky, the earth collapsed, and time and space were suspended and torn apart by invisible giant hands, turning into overwhelming hurricane-like fragments.

Thousands of spiritual lights rose from the ground, it was the souls of the monks in the world who were sucked into the vast void, and everyone escaped from the dream at the same time—

After being frozen for forty-four years, the flow suddenly resumed.

In this world, ascend to Xiantai.

Two suspended lancet blades fell to the ground with a clatter, and Mu Duozhu was caught off guard, and fell to his knees with a bang;

The frozen Yuchirui twitched convulsively, spurting out a big mouthful of blood with pieces of flesh in it, and collapsed heavily on the ground;

Bai Yujing went down to the underground palace, and Ying Kai appeared beside the remaining magic circle of the Tongtian Avenue, the shock in his eyes had not disappeared.

The dying grandson Chengfeng beside Jin Zhu let out his last breath. No one noticed that a talisman with the word "Du" had appeared on his chest at some point, the dazzling golden light flashed away, and the sword wound that had penetrated his chest disappeared immediately, leaving no trace of it.

"...Bai...Bai Shui?" He gasped, staggered to his feet, his mind went blank amid the violent coughing, and instinctively looked around eagerly: "Bai Shui!"

—Thousands of miles away, in Julu City. Bai Fei's distant soul has not yet returned, and his body is standing still in front of the grandson's family courtyard, the last moment of worry before the suspension of the world is still frozen in his eyes.

He couldn't see the gray and transparent Du Kaixun in mid-air, nor could he see a sword wound suddenly appeared on Du Kaixun's chest, piercing back and forth, sharp and deadly, and then his soul began to be annihilated into ashes inch by inch.

"I hate you so... so much," Du Kaixun said hoarsely, hugging Bai Shang's still body into his arms for the last time, hot tears slipped down his cheeks and entered into Bai Shang's temples, but no one could sense it.

"You will always live with my hatred, and never forget that a person named Du Kaixun once appeared in your life..."

"...in this way, you can live your life free from pain and fear."

Where no one could see, the curse mark flashed in Bai Shang's heart, it was the last instruction given by the soldier to the soldier.

The soul came by the wind, Bai Fei's still body trembled suddenly, took a long breath suddenly, and instinctively raised his eyes.

"Second Young Master?" He subconsciously looked to the left and right, always feeling as if he heard a familiar voice just now, but then stopped moving, and a sense of confusion suddenly appeared in his heart.

Who is the second son?

The eldest grandson's family...is there a second son?

Bai Shang's heart suddenly ached sharply, as if he was caught off guard and forgot something important. But he didn't know what he had forgotten, so he tremblingly raised a hand and pressed his heart.

In the void above his head, Du Kaixun closed his eyes.

His soul was annihilated into countless twilight lights, and the wind took away the last trace of his remaining warmth in the world.

The wind swept across the world like a tide, bringing all the souls back to the present world after so many years of absence, until it covered every corner of the earth.

Every cultivator of all schools of Taoism and sects suddenly recovered from a static state, feeling dazed, stunned, and unbelievable. It wasn't until a few breaths later that cries of joy and tears erupted from all over the sky:

"I'm back!" "Really, really back!" "I'm not dead, I'm not dead!"

The noise gathered into a torrent and spread in all directions. On Shengxiantai, Gong Wei suddenly opened his eyes in disbelief.

The next moment, the chest was suddenly cold, and he had no choice but to go out through the chest according to the inertia!

"..."

Gong Wei gasped and lowered his head, only to see the **** sword being pulled out of his chest, and then the wound healed without healing; a golden character talisman flashed on the chest that should have been pierced from front to back, which was very familiar, and it was Xu.

Immediately afterwards, the little fox drawn with cinnabar flashed on the back of Xu Shuangce's right hand, and a similar sword wound pierced the heart of Sect Master Cangyang, and blood spurted out into the sky!

Bang!

Reluctantly, the sword came out, and Xu Shuangce knelt down in front of Gong Wei, the blood soaked through the layered robes, and quickly accumulated bleeding puddles on the ground below his knees.

"..." Gong Wei opened his mouth, but his ears were ringing, and he couldn't even hear his own voice: "Xu Bai...?"

Xu Shuangce stared at him, panted violently and smiled: "...So it hurts so much."

Gong Wei closed his eyes and opened them again, as if he had fallen into an absurd nightmare. He wanted to say how you can always use your body as a talisman without permission, how you can die without saying hello, how can you put Qu Xie and Bei Yuan back into the present world, the Tongtian Avenue has not been completely destroyed, and the flames of world destruction are imminent , who in this world will stop the ghost prince's ambition... But countless thoughts are chaotic, turning into a hot stream of bitterness and clogging his throat.

He only uttered two words tremblingly: "...Xu Bai..."

Xu Shuangce pressed Gong Wei's back with his cold hands, and pressed him hard into his **** embrace.

"I'm sorry," he said, his voice hoarse and slow with the excruciating pain, "a man cannot lose his god, no matter the cost... no matter the cost."

Suddenly Gong Wei felt something, and his pupils tightened suddenly: "Don't—"

But it was too late.

With a sound of blood and flesh squeezed, Xu Shuangce stuck his right hand into his chest, and a large stream of blood spurted out. The unimaginable pain caused his whole body to convulse sharply, but he did not hesitate in his movements. An extremely bright pearl.

— That was his golden elixir.

Immediately, he raised his palm and crushed the most powerful golden core in the world!

The endless spiritual power flowed down instantly, and the light flowed through Gong Wei's scarred body like a spring. The countless large and small wounds left before healed immediately, the pain disappeared, and the extremely weak Yuanshen recovered quickly, and returned to the peak in an instant!

"I have always loved you, like a mortal blasphemy in my heart..."

Xu Shuangce knelt on the ground, leaning into Gong Wei's arms, his voice gradually became weaker, and as the cold wind passed by Gong Wei's pale and cold side face, he roared into the distance:

"I'm sorry, if only you never understood what that feeling was."

Xu Shuangce's forehead lightly fell on Gong Wei's shoulder, and he stopped breathing.

·

I don't know how long it took, like a moment and like thousands of years, Gong Wei slowly raised his hand inch by inch, and hugged Xu Shuangce's cold body.

"...It's too late," he said hoarsely, "I already understand."

Layers of terrifyingly powerful blood-red halos erupted from him, and the divine power roared through the clouds, as if a hurricane had been set off on Shengxiantai. Numerous cracks centered on him, and "click!" instantly covered the entire building. High terraces with vast grounds.

In the distance, Mu Duozhuju turned his head panting, Liu Xuzhi's eyes widened in astonishment, Yu Chirui managed to squeeze out a voice: "...Gong Wei?"

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Gong Wei raised one hand and roared to shake the mountains: "Taishou Bai—"

The red star in the sky flashed.

At the same time, in the depths of the underground palace, the face of the ghost prince Qu Xie in front of the Tongtian magic circle changed slightly, and he saw the white prefect clanging out of the sheath in his hand, and a splash of blood was drawn from his palm, turning into a blood-red meteor and flying up to the Ascension to Immortal Platform.

With a clear snap, the Excalibur came through the air, was firmly held in Gong Wei's palm, and then he slashed hard with his backhand.

Boom-long-!

The unprecedented shocking sword arc went along the ground, destroying the city and pulling out the stronghold, and split the entire Shengxiantai into two halves at the center of the earthquake, and huge boulders poured down.

"Qu Xi come out to die for me—"

The ghost prince in the underground palace raised his head, and the furious Bai Taishou Jianfeng was reflected in his eyes!
