Chapter 177, Road of Trial (3)
Qingshi took another step.
The scene in front of him changed again, and Qingshi found himself standing on a golden disk. His dazed mind seemed to suddenly become clear, his body felt comfortable, and his spirit relaxed.
Qingshi walked out of the disc and looked around. There were no more stairs here. There was no doubt that this was the top of Fairy Sword Peak. All the illusions seemed to have disappeared, and Qingshi breathed a long sigh of relief. He felt that he had successfully passed the trial ladder, cleared the entire trial road, and completed the test set by the immortal.
Where are the immortal ruins? Qingshi began to search. The top of the Immortal Sword Peak was only a few feet in diameter, much like the top of Juhua Peak, but the area was even smaller.
Except for a golden metal disk with a diameter of more than ten feet, there are few places where the bluestone can move. There is only a rock surface slightly larger than the golden disk on the entire peak.
The most eye-catching thing on the top of the peak is a rock about two feet high, which looks like a stone tablet. In fact, this is the top of the natural mountain, but half of it was cut vertically and turned into a stone tablet.
There are four large characters engraved on the stone tablet, which is of extraordinary momentum. It is covered with a layer of faint golden light, and it is obviously blessed by a magic circle to protect it. The entire peak is covered with white snow, but not a single snowflake remains on this stone tablet.
Qingshi wanted to walk over and take a closer look at the stone tablet, but unexpectedly, the golden metal disc suddenly shone brightly. Qingshi was startled and quickly turned his head to look. An irresistible suction force suddenly pulled him into the disc. Then, Qingshi I felt like I fell into a time and space tunnel and was instantly transported to another place.
Qingshi stabilized his mind, looked around in surprise, and found that he was standing on the golden cloud disk on Juhuading. Leader Jian Ruochen was standing next to the golden cloud plate, looking helplessly at him, with a miserable expression on his face. There were two unknown people standing behind him. Their clothes turned out to be the official uniforms of the first-class bodyguards of the Imperial Household.
Looking around again, Qingshi found that a little further away, Jian Ruomu, Jian Ruoyun and other four elders were also there, and they were also surrounded by a group of Ouchi guards. As well as Sword Seven, Sword Nine, Eleven Sword and Sixteen and other disciples of the Immortal Sword Sect who were friends with him, they were also surrounded by a large number of Ouchi guards.
Obviously, no matter the leader Jian Ruochen, Jian Ruomu, Jian Ruoyun and other elders, as well as Jian Qi Jian Jiu and other disciples, they were all captured by these guards.
Qingshi's face was filled with surprise and uncertainty, but he slowly understood in his heart that the person who wanted to kill him had finally arrived. A man wearing the uniform of a first-class bodyguard shouted sternly: "Qingshi, you are such a traitor, why don't you kneel down and be arrested!"
"Rebel?" Qingshi sneered, "What kind of charge was I told? It turned out to be a major crime of rebellion. Let's talk about it. How did I, Qingshi, commit rebellion?"
"Hmph! You still have to quibble when you are about to die!" the guard yelled, "You poisoned and assassinated the Supreme Emperor. There are both witnesses and physical evidence. You can't escape!"
"Bah!" Another guard scolded, "Qingshi, you ungrateful person, how could you poison your master to death? His punishment for you is not too severe..."
"My master is dead?" Qingshi was shocked and angry, "You said my master is dead!"
"That's right!" The guard nodded and said, "The old emperor has been poisoned to death, and it was you who poisoned him!"
"No!" Qingshi shouted loudly, "Impossible! I never believe that Master, his martial arts cultivation is the best in the world. He has all five elements of Qi, and no poison in the world can hurt him. I don't believe it. ! You are talking nonsense..."
"The Supreme Emperor is not dead," said the guard from earlier. "You poisoned the Supreme Emperor. Fortunately, you failed to succeed. However, your crime of treason is unpardonable, so you should be punished."
"There's no need to blame someone for it!" Qingshi finally felt a little relieved when he heard that Ou Changzhi was not dead. He turned to look at the guard and asked doubtfully, "Who are you? Since you are a first-class guard, how can I be there?" Don’t you understand the truth?”
As he said this, he looked at the other guards. There were forty or fifty guards on top of Juhua, and there were more than a dozen in first-class guard uniforms alone.
There are a fixed number of first-class guards, sixteen. Before leaving Chaoge, Qingshi himself was one of them, so he naturally knew all the first-class guards. As usual, there will be some adjustments after the new emperor ascends the throne. For example, Gui Huadong, Shen Xiaofeng and Qingshi will definitely no longer be the same, but it will not mean that there will be so many new faces in just a few years.
The man was stunned, and just as he was about to speak, Qingshi shouted loudly: "Xiang An, get out of here!"
Sure enough, a man walked out from behind several guards. It was Xiang An. He, an authentic first-class guard, did not wear official uniform.
Xiang An smiled slightly and said: "Brother Qingshi, you don't know these brothers, but they are all genuine first-class guards..."
"Nonsense!" Qingshi said angrily, "I really shouldn't have kept you alive. How did you restore your true energy, and how did you find so many people to pretend to be guards and control the Immortal Sword Sect?"
"Brother Qingshi!" Xiang An shook his head and said, "I'm not that capable. I just used a communication method to contact Chao Ge and informed the person who sent me here to perform the mission. It was he who brought these big concubines. The guards came and took control of the Immortal Sword Sect.”
"Who is it?" Qingshi's voice was trembling. He vaguely felt that Xiang An's words were not true, but the situation in front of him could not be explained at all except what Xiang An said. Qingshi hopes to know who the person who sent Xiang An to kill him is, but he is conflicted and afraid of really knowing.
"You know!" Xiang An said, "I have already told you that you have the answer. You have already guessed it! Are you still unwilling to believe it until now? See for yourself!"
Qingshi turned his head and looked in the direction shown by Xiang An. He saw a group of people appearing more than ten feet away to the west of Jinyunpan, a group of people from the Xuanmen that he was mostly familiar with and knew. Gui Huadong, Senjing, Song Motian, Xia Yiming, Dai Yanru, the Zhong brothers, and a few unknown people, but Qingshi knew that they were Gui Huadong's disciples, from Yuehua Sect and Xuanmen.
who is it? Qingshi looked at these people in fear, but fortunately there was no Chen Tianye among them.
These people slowly parted to both sides, revealing a figure with his back to the bluestone. He was wearing a bright yellow dragon-patterned robe and a crown jade belt. Even from his back, he looked so noble, so elegant, graceful and otherworldly.
Is it really him? don't want! Don't!
As if to prove Qingshi's guess, the man slowly turned around, yes, it was him, Qingshi's former teacher and dean, later senior brother, and now the emperor of the Xuan Empire - Mo Sihai.
Qingshi shook his head in pain, suppressing the deep sadness and rage in his heart, and growled in a low voice: "It's really you? It's really you! Why is this? Why?"
Xiang An said softly beside him: "Oh! I told you before! I told you that you have the answer! Do you still not believe it now? Are you still asking why?... ....”
"Qingshi, let's go!" Suddenly, a roar rang out, and the voice belonged to the leader of Jian Ruochen. Jian Ruochen flapped his arms and knocked away the two guards around him. Jian Ruomu also immediately activated his hand and struck back with a crosscut, knocking down the two guards behind him. He also shouted to Qingshi: "Quickly go!"
As Jian Ruochen and Jian Rumu launched a counterattack, others in the Immortal Sword Sect also began to counterattack.
A first-class guard shouted: "Kill them!" A large number of guards swarmed up and killed Jian Ruochen and Jian Ruomu. Seven or eight other guards rushed towards Qingshi, each holding a sword and rushing towards him.
Qingshi pulled out the Qinglian Sword with his backhand and stabbed the guard at the front with his sword. The guard did not dare to take the blow and dodged away. Several other Ouchi guards had also pounced on him. They did not attack Qingshi directly, but circled around Qingshi, obviously intending to set up a battle formation to surround him.
Qingshi was afraid of being surrounded by the battle formation, so he immediately launched the Three Ultimate Wind Techniques to rush out. Just when he was about to start, he reluctantly raised his eyes again and looked at Mo Sihai - the teacher, dean and senior brother he once admired the most!
Mo Sihai's face didn't seem to be very clear. He looked at Qingshi coldly, waved his arm contemptuously, and made a killing gesture!
"No! No! I don't believe it!" There was a voice in Qingshi's heart shouting to himself, "That's not the dean! The dean in my memory is not like this! His desire for power comes first, and he is unparalleled in resourcefulness, but he He will not kill his master and junior brother! Even if he wants to kill him, he will not do it in such a way. He will never order his subordinates to kill him in front of him. He will not show his face at all... ....”
"He never showed up. He only appeared after I thought of him. The same goes for other Xuanmen people. They were not here originally. They suddenly appeared when I thought of them. And Xiang An Also like this......"
"They originally said that Master was poisoned to death. I didn't believe that Master would be poisoned and died, so they changed their story and said that Master was not dead. I didn't see Chen Tianye, that's because I absolutely trust him. I doubt everyone in Xuanmen Except for Master and Amano, neither of them appeared... Everything that appeared was what I was afraid of... it was an illusion! I am still in the illusion!"
Qingshi's heart was turbulent, and his mind suddenly became clear. He remained motionless, and the guards who had completed the encirclement formation began to attack.
Qingshi watched helplessly as a long sword pierced his chest. He stood like a pine tree, his body motionless, and he didn't even blink.
The sword penetrated Qingshi's chest but did not cause any damage, because just when it penetrated Qingshi's chest, it suddenly became virtual in Qingshi's eyes. Qingshi had seen through everything in front of him, and everything changed. It has to be blurred. His lips moved and he softly uttered two words: "Fake!"
Then, Qingshi lowered his head and looked at the ground, where a hazy step began to appear out of thin air, as if it was also a phantom.
"This is true!" Qingshi murmured, gently lifting his feet and walking up the phantom-like steps.
