Xu Yong walked out of the hut, his hands stained with blood, and Cheng'er's pale face filled his mind. The scent of osmanthus was fragrant, but he was unaware of it, walking like a zombie.
The bluestone path has nine twists and turns, rockeries and flowing water, bypassing the corridor, and the main hall in front is brightly lit. It turns out that the master and his family are drinking tea and eating supper, and tasting the peach nectar bought by Xu Yong.
Xu Yong went straight in, picked up the vase on the window sill, rounded it up and hit Master Xu Chen on the back of the head. The young master fell to the ground, and his wife and young lady screamed and rushed forward to check the injury.
The master was furious and his voice trembled, "You've rebelled against me. Quickly arrest this slave and beat him to death with a stick..."
In the woodshed, the lights were dim, and Xu Yong was tied to a pillar with five flowers and scars all over his body. The servants next to him were all tired from beating and panting heavily to rest for a while.
The stinging pain in his body only made Xu Yong more awake. He had at least three rib fractures on his chest, a dislocated left arm, and the rest were all skin injuries, which was horrific. He could endure the physical pain, but his heart was still bleeding. He really hoped to wake up from this dream soon.
At this time, the housekeeper pushed the door open and waved away the servants, leaving them alone in the woodshed.
"Are you really brave, dare to do something evil to the young master? If I hadn't secretly instructed you, you would have been beaten to death with random sticks."
Xu Yong's eyes were tearing up, "This evil young man insulted Cheng'er, I won't be able to peel off his skin and fry his bones!"
"Cheng'er is just a servant, as insignificant as an ant. If she dies, my master won't even frown. You are the same, you are a cheap person, but I can send you back to the west with a flick of my finger."
Xu Yong said nothing and stared at him with angry eyes. The butler smiled and suddenly changed his tone: "Master Xu, haven't you been deeply touched by the suffering in this world? Summon the divine sword quickly and you can end this pain."
Xu Yong was shocked at first, and then relieved, "You want to use an illusory dream to trick me into being fooled. What a wishful thinking! Feel free to suffer any pain, and I won't blink an eye!"
The butler smiled and said: "So Master thought this was a dream? How ridiculous! 'Nightmare in the Red Earth' is based on the pain deep in your memory, taking us through time and back to the past. Everything you see through Xu Yong's eyes is What’s really happening.”
Xu Yong was stunned and speechless.
"Is it any wonder that someone has blocked your memory? It turns out that Master Xu, whom everyone respects, has such a bad past? He bullies men and women, insults wives, like a rat crossing the street, everyone shouts to beat him..."
Xu Yong interrupted him with a loud shout: "I would rather be trapped in the formation with you than let you get what you want!"
The housekeeper sneered and said: "I forgot to tell you that if the person possessed by the 'Mortal Nightmare' dies, you will become a lonely ghost and your true body will become a useless skin. When the young master wakes up, it will be your soul that will be destroyed. day!"
The butler smiled slyly: "The ending turned out to be 'me' killing 'me', which is really unexpected!"
At this moment, a family member broke into the door, hurriedly like a bereaved dog, "The housekeeper is not good, the young master has woken up, his eyes are red, like crazy, he kills everyone on sight, the wife and the young lady have been poisoned by him... "
The butler's expression changed greatly, "He's actually an evil star! I can't even see the excitement anymore." He quickly untied Xu Yong's rope and ran towards the main hall, Xu Yong limped behind.
In the main hall, several corpses were lying, including Madam and Miss Xu Qing. After passing through the main hall and looking at the neighbor of the rockery, Xu Chen swung his long sword to kill several people, and the last sword pierced the master's chest.
"What's wrong, the young master is possessed, run away!" The housekeeper shouted, and the servant beside him fled without a trace, but Xu Yong did not move.
"We have no magic power. If you stay, you will die. Run away!" the housekeeper urged.
Xu Yong looked sad, formed the Buddhist fearless seal on his right hand, and chanted a mantra. Suddenly, dark clouds surged in the sky, covering the stars and moon, and a bright white light was projected from the sky, getting brighter and brighter.
"You, are you summoning the divine sword now?"
"I'm going to kill him!"
"If he dies, you will also disappear. Have you thought clearly?"
"My own sins should be crushed by my own hands..."
When Xu Chen woke up, he was lying in the main hall. The surroundings were in a mess, and his eyes were full of ruins. He struggled to sit up, and his senior brother Guang Yuan was beside him.
"Brother, what happened?" he asked in confusion.
"At noon, Junior Brother suddenly summoned the Divine Sword for unknown reasons. You wielded the Divine Sword and slashed and killed like crazy. The temple was damaged as a result, and many Senior Brothers were injured..."
Xu Chen was speechless, not knowing what to say.
Another junior brother Guang Yu interjected: "Thanks to Master's use of the 'Prajna Curse', I was able to shock you and recover the divine sword."
"Then where is the master now?"
"Master has lost too much power and was injured by the sword energy of the Divine Sword. He is recuperating in the back hall."
Xu Chen was extremely annoyed and jumped up, only to find an unconscious young man in white clothes in front of the corner pillar of the palace.
"This man appeared with you and was also injured by the sword energy. The illusion of the snow field outside suddenly disappeared, which may be related to this man!"
Xu Chen pressed his palm against his heavenly spirit and passed through three levels of Buddha's light, and the man slowly woke up. The young man looked aloof and didn't buy it at all. "Today you relied on the divine sword and you were slightly better. If Zhen Yan refuses to accept it, he will fight you to the end in the future." After saying this, he suddenly disappeared.
In the wing of the back hall, Master Puhui was lying on his back on the bed, his face as pale as paper.
Xu Chen turned over and knelt down, sobbing, "It's all because my disciple's practice is too shallow, and he touched the divine sword, causing you to lose your power and get injured. I will never be able to atone for your sins even if I die!"
Pu Hui motioned him to stand up, with a kind look in his eyes, "If you touched the divine sword, there must be a reason for it. As a teacher, I don't blame you."
Xu Chen recounted what happened, and the master's eyes flickered, his face uncertain.
"Master, am I really the villain who raped my wife and killed my entire family? Why didn't you kill me instead of delivering me?"
The master sighed: "That day I was also guided by the light of the divine sword, and I discovered you, and it turned out to be the result of today. Unfortunately, by the time I left, the big mistake had been made and could not be undone."
Xu Chen shed tears and said, "Master, my disciple is committing such atrocious crimes. You should die on the spot and do justice to God."
"My teacher thought so too at the time, but when I raised my sword and dropped it, I was surprised to find that you are actually a very rare alien soul."
Xu Chen looked at him in shock and waited for the next step.
"Both sides of the Hades River in the underworld are covered with flowers of the underworld, which the world calls the flowers of the other side. When the soul is reincarnated, it must pick one and eat it. It can forget the things in the underworld and reincarnate as a human. The flowers of the underworld rarely mutate, and the soul after eating them becomes a strange soul."
"Then Master, what kind of strange soul am I?"
"The underworld flower is originally blue, the back of the mutated flower is black, and the soul-eating flower is also two-color. One side is human, and the other side is demonic and ferocious. That day you were hit hard on the head. When life and death were at stake, the dark side of the soul was completely reversed. He turned into a demon and made a big mistake unintentionally.”
"But to say the same thing, my hands are stained with blood. I am willing to die to atone for my sins!"
Pu Hui stood up and grabbed his sleeve, "You are a strange soul with extraordinary talent. No one in our Tianjian Temple has been able to control the divine sword for a hundred years, but you can wield it freely in just ten years. Master will not allow you to give up on yourself. . When I sealed your memory, I wanted you to concentrate on your practice and carry forward the divine sword!"
Xu Chen was still sad and depressed. The master continued: "To control the inner demons, your practice is far from enough. But there is no time. I want to tell you the true secret of the divine sword."
He whispered softly, and Xu Chen's expression changed. After saying that, the master suddenly vomited a mouthful of blood, "Back then, I used the Prajna Curse to seal your inner demons, which damaged your power for ten years. Today, I cast the spell again, and my vitality was severely damaged. In addition, I was injured by the divine sword. I am afraid that I will die soon." You must shoulder the heavy responsibility of carrying forward Tianjian Temple..."
After coming out of the back hall, Xu Chen visited his injured fellow apprentice again. Everyone shunned him, their eyes as scared as tigers, which shows how terrifying the situation was at that time.
Senior brother Guangyuan came over to talk to him: "Master is afraid that time is running out, so he asked junior brother to take over the host position!"
Xu Chen interrupted him resolutely: "Master will not die. I will try to make up for my own mistakes. I will find a magical object to help Master regain his strength!"
"What do you mean, junior brother?"
"I'm going to hunt for dragons!"
Half a month later, a large ship set off from Dengzhou, riding the wind and waves, heading straight for the sea and the sky. This ship is owned by Jin Shengyan, a wealthy businessman in Dengzhou. This Jin family is good at immortality and often summons strange people to go out to sea to search for fairy mountains.
The people on this boat include alchemists, heroes, and some people in the market, cheating on food and drink, and all kinds of strange things.
The weather was fine, and the big ship cut through the waves and moved forward. Xu Chen stood on the bow of the boat and looked from a distance. The sea and sky were the same color without end. The white clouds rolling in the sky turned into Cheng'er's face. His mood palpitated for a moment, and his thoughts went into the illusory dreamland again.
During those days, his soul traveled through time and possessed Xu Yong, and he actually remembered many sweet past experiences with Cheng'er. When he was in a state of ecstasy, he couldn't even tell who he was?
Suddenly, several shouts brought his thoughts back to reality. The people on the boat were pointing and looking extremely frightened. At the junction of the sea and the sky, black clouds suddenly rolled up and covered the sky and the earth. The blue water echoed with it, and the waves rolled up to tens of feet, like a huge high wall, crushing towards the face.
When the disaster was imminent, people were terrified, scurrying around like headless flies. Some people even jumped into the sea in a hurry to escape.
Xu Chen didn't move, he was sizing up the situation. This overwhelming momentum, could it be that a divine object was about to appear? He stood still at the bow of the boat, despite the rough waves, remaining motionless.
A huge wall of waves rushed towards them, and everyone wailed in despair. Xu Chen suddenly took action, and a dazzling silver stream of light stretched for more than ten feet, splitting the wall of water in half. The waves splashed, and the ship passed through the gap and entered the dark space. .
Everyone woke up as if they had just woken up from a dream. Dark clouds were pressing down on the sky, and the sky seemed to have collapsed. Blue lightning intertwined, as dense as a spider web, and the sound of thunder was deafening. Xu Chen holds the divine sword in his hand, which shines like a torch, illuminating the night sky.
"He, he is Master Xu?" someone exclaimed.
At this time, the dark clouds in the sky suddenly boiled, like a rolled lotus. A huge dragon head protruded from it, with eyes like torches and a wide mouth. With the sound of thunder, a ray of orange lightning fell from the sky...
