In the sky, the cracks cover up the paleness, and on the earth, the quiet water covers the soil.
The world is collapsing and flooding. Even if an extremely powerful force sweeps through, it will only add another kind of disaster to the world, and order will not be restored at all.
Tang Zhao was stunned for a moment, then said: "What? Should the Nether Calamity subside now? The altar has just been opened and the power has been released. Shouldn't it take a while before the effect will show?"
Manying's string sound was urgent and fast, almost chaotic, and it sounded like a hoarse cry: "Of course not! The altar was opened, and the power of Wang Liang appeared, which should be able to suppress You Calamity. Even You Shui It will take a while before it recedes, and there should be signs of calming down in the sky! Look at it now, the cracks in the sky are getting more serious, as if it’s going to be the end!”
Tang Zhao raised his head and looked at the cracks that looked like spider webs all over the sky. After a moment's pause, he could feel that the cracks were still increasing and said, "What if... it is indeed the end of the world?"
Manying suddenly became speechless, and after a while, she whispered: "Is the end coming now? The end of Zuliang Mountain? I'm not ready yet."
This seems unreasonable. How can anyone prepare for a natural disaster like the end of the world? Who can really be ready?
But Tang Zhao can subtly capture the meaning it wants to express.
It is still the envoy of the two mountains and is not yet ready to deal with the next drastic changes in the two mountains.
He was thinking about whether to respond to Man Ying's temptation just now and say something. Man Ying suddenly got cold and lowered his voice and said: "Don't move! Let's leave... find a place to hide."
Tang Zhao didn't know what happened, but he was very cautious. When he saw Man Ying speaking so solemnly, he immediately became vigilant and looked around to find a shelter.
At this time, the Youshui became more and more overflowing, and there was already a vast expanse of water under their feet. The sand dunes, large and small, were covered with sand dunes. There was no place to stay. He pondered and wanted to find a place with higher ground to stay.
At this time, Manying pointed with a string to a sand dune in the distance that had not yet been submerged, and said: "Go there."
Tang Zhao rushed over and was about to land on the mountain when Man Ying said: "Go to the shadow."
Tang Zhao suddenly realized, looking at the familiar layout, this shadow must be some kind of manor.
He took a second look, and Man Ying shouted: "Hurry in!"
At this moment, Tang Zhao himself felt a burst of pressure, as if there was a Mount Tai pressing down on him, and he would be shattered into pieces in the next moment. He hurriedly took a step forward and entered the shadow space.
As soon as he entered the space, the ominous and breathless pressure just disappeared immediately. Just as he breathed a sigh of relief, he smelled an old breath.
Looking up, what kind of manor is here? It was clearly a ruin. It's just that it didn't collapse as badly as the grandstand. Many houses are still intact. From a distance, they look like a gray-white shadow. However, you can smell the still desolate atmosphere without looking closely.
"here it is……"
"It's angry!"
Man Ying's voice said from behind, almost silent in panic.
"who?"
"Wang Liang!"
Pipa has no expression, but now she can't help but reveal an aura of fear: "It is completely different from usual. Usually when you wake him up for You Calamity, he has no emotions, and he is not even necessarily awake. Either it's sleepwalking, or it's just a subconscious action, just releasing power to suppress the disaster, just like a person's instinct to drive away flies while sleeping, it can drive away the disaster."
"But just now, it was angry, it was angry. I'm afraid it was provoked. Who can provoke it? Its rage was not only to drive away the ghost disaster, but even seemed to be having a fit, hysteria! It was a little bit Any action would be an earthquake to the Gangliang Mountains, not to mention the unpredictable wrath? We may be affected and suffer unreasonable disasters!"
It trembled nervously: "We are too close. I just hope we are hiding in this deserted place. It can't see us. Just let us go!"
Its fear was so real that Tang Zhao couldn't help but feel a little horrified - he was naturally aware when he came to Zongliang Mountain, even if it meant losing his life. Strategically, he is not afraid of the consequences, but tactically he has to be afraid.
The imminent threat is real and there is no room for fear.
Moreover, he is thinking:
"When something like this happened at this moment, did Wang Liang notice something?"
What did you notice?
In fact, Tang Zhao didn't know much about what caused the disaster. He had set off the previous solar storm, which had lasted for nearly two days, and all communication between the mountain and the bottom was cut off.
However, this severance did not cause You disaster, which shows that the disaster was not caused by him.
Then it should be related to the progress of the white fox in Yinglang, right? Although the exact news has not yet been received, Tang Zhao speculated from various signs, including Man Ying's reaction, that she must have achieved great success, and the birth of Ruyi Sword may not be far away. The awakening of the Ruyi Sword may disturb the order of the Gangliang Mountain and cause a disaster. It may also arouse the vigilance of the Gangliang.
The sword fairy who had been imprisoned by him for many years might wake up. Isn't it normal for the two to be furious?
But this is not the only possibility. There is another possibility...
In addition to the White Fox, there is another road that is also making progress, and that is the Golden Crow.
It even went so far as to dig out Gangliang’s lair, Yingyuan.
Compared to White Fox, Yingyuan's side is a real black box, prohibiting all contact. It was impossible for Tang Zhao to know how Jin Wu was progressing unless Jin Wu used the only teleportation array to pull him over.
If the Golden Crow makes any moves there, it will be the center of the lair of Wang Liang, and I don’t know what kind of reaction it will trigger. Although Tang Zhao guessed that Wang Liang had sealed himself under the altar and might not have gone back for many years, he should be able to notice something happened to Ying Yuan, right?
If he found out that his hometown was in ruins, wouldn't it be surprising that he would be furious?
Tang Zhao guessed two possibilities, but he also knew that he could only guess. No matter what the situation is now, this is a matter between two or even three sword immortal level beings, and he can't get involved yet.
Now he can only stay in a relatively safe place to avoid Wang Liang's sharpness.
"Where is this?"
With nothing to do for the time being, Tang Zhao first used the communicator to contact the Sunset Manor. He learned that everything was as usual there and that Wei Se could completely control the situation. He led his people directly out of Zhuangliang Mountain, leaving the manor owners on the mountain.
After hanging up the communicator, Tang Zhao put aside all his thoughts for the time being, relaxed and strolled forward, approaching the ruins. As soon as his feet moved, he kicked a sign.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be... half a plaque.
Because it was in Mengliang Mountain, the color of this plaque was only black, white and gray, which was definitely not bright, but the handwriting was clearly legible. It can be seen that the handwriting is quite shiny, even if it is buried in dust, it does not dim. It should be metal, or even inlaid with pure gold. This sign was broken into two pieces. Judging from the fracture, it didn't look like it was broken, but more like it was smashed or stepped on.
"Tan Yue..."
Tang Zhao read the remaining two words and pondered: "I seem to have heard of it somewhere?"
Man Ying said dullly: "It was the manor where Gui Rong was born, and he later destroyed it."
Tang Zhao groaned and then thought about it.
That was a past event. Tang Zhao vaguely heard about it. At that time, he thought that Guirong's rebellion against Danyue Manor was revenge for being bullied when he was young. However, considering his sword intent, he might still kill people to collect the power of death. this intention.
Gaining power by converting life and death sounds slightly better than gaining power by killing. The sword of Gui Rong is a bit like the "magic sword" in the story.
This sword is now in Tang Zhao's hands and is his legal collection. There was no way anyone could come after the sword. Anyone who had even the slightest connection to the ownership of this sword was dead. One of them died right where Tang Zhao was standing.
That sword also came from Danyue Manor, but it was a talisman for the people in the manor.
Now, those people and the manor are reduced to dust.
In the vicissitudes of life, things have changed and people have changed, that's all.
I wonder if that sword will ever meet a swordsman who is truly suitable for it. It must be a person who feels life and death, understands life and death, and faces life and death. Only then can he be worthy of this sword that has the potential to transcend life and death.
Tang Zhao thought like this, walking leisurely among the ruins, it was like walking through the smoke and dust of the past.
Pipa stayed where she was, looking sideways at the tall figure.
Suddenly, it said: "Ayu must like you very much."
Tang Zhao tilted his head slightly. In the black and white shadows, his side profile was looming, giving him the feeling of a person in the painting.
Pipa's eyes seemed to be filled with admiration, and she said: "She likes beauty the most, and has been looking for someone who is perfect, or so beautiful that all flaws can be ignored... maybe she has found one."
Tang Zhao did not answer its words, but asked: "Who are you?"
Both Man Ying and Tang Zhao knew the meaning of this sentence.
What Man Ying just said was a test. Mentioning Ling Baoyu publicly seemed to be confessing his identity. But this temptation is not too sudden. Because when the two were alone, Man Ying tested Tang Zhao's identity at least twice.
Both times, Tang Zhao remained silent. There seemed to be no answer, but it was an answer without giving an uninformed reaction. Therefore, Manying's third question went straight to the topic. It seemed bold, but in fact it was a matter of course.
If she really awakened some of her memories, it wouldn't be surprising to speculate. On the contrary, Tang Zhao now wants to confirm who it is.
From a human to a pipa, from the clouds under the sun to the shadows, does it know who it is now?
Of course, if Pipa considers itself an envoy, it may not tell the truth. But Tang Zhao believed that even if it fell completely into darkness and suddenly awakened the memories of so many years, it would definitely have all kinds of emotions, and it would probably want to talk about it.
Now the Danyue ruins are isolated from the world. There are endless disasters outside, as if there is the shadow of doomsday following behind, and there is a sense of urgency. Only Tang Zhao and Man Ying are standing in the ruins eroded by time. , it can be said that heaven knows and earth knows, you know and I know.
If you can't open your heart and relax at this moment, I'm afraid you won't have another chance in the future.
Sure enough, Pipa sighed and said: "I think Ayu has told you who I was originally, and this is also the basis for us to talk here. But who I am now, it's really hard to say. I would like to find out It’s clear, but the more I think about it, the more confused I become.”
"I am a human, a sword, and an envoy of the Yuan."
"I am Man Ge and also Man Ying."
“I am everything but nobody.”
I’m finally back and I feel much better, so I’ll write a little bit for everyone to read.
