Mu Qing looked at the sorrow and regret in Wushan's eyes, remained silent for a long time, and then asked slowly: "Do you think everyone wants to leave?"
Wu Shan lowered his gaze, looked at Mu Qing steadily, and said, "Everyone is dead, including me."
Mu Qing nodded lightly: "He kept you in a dream. But I'm sorry, I have to take my woman away."
Wu Shan turned around and walked into the darkness. Mu Qing sighed softly and turned back in the same direction.
It has entered night in Xichuan City, and people are still coming and going on the streets.
Mu Qing looked at the heartfelt smiles on these people's faces and couldn't help but frown.
Until meeting Wu Shan this time, Mu Qing had been extremely wary of Xichuan. Because he felt that the deaths of these people were all caused by Xichuan, and this might be related to Xichuan's practice.
Although this is not the case, the fact that Xichuan City became what it is now still has a lot to do with Xichuan.
Is Xichuan considered a good person?
Mu Qing shook his head and quickly returned to the street where Wangchuan Inn was located.
Mu Qing soon discovered that this place was different from when he left.
The red-walled pavilion not far away was silent in the thick night, and only some outlines could be barely distinguished. The other houses on the street also had their doors and windows closed, not a trace of light came out. On the whole street, only Wangchuan Inn is still open to welcome guests.
Mu Qing walked towards the door of the inn with a calm expression.
Just as he stepped up the front steps, the lights in the inn lobby fell in one direction. In the dim light and shadow, a figure stood behind Mu Qing and patted his head.
Ye Yun didn't know what appeared not far away, and shouted: "No!"
Mu Qing looked sideways at his side, and the sneak attack figure suddenly became clear, it turned out to be Ying Que!
However, Ying Que's hand was clearly less than an inch away from Mu Qing, but he retracted his hand at the last moment and warned in a cold voice: "If you dare to hit my daughter's attention again, you won't have such luck next time."
Mu Qing glanced at Ying Que, and the next moment he ignored Ying Que's warning and walked quickly to Ye Yun.
Mu Qing pinched Ye Yun's face and said, "Are you awake?"
Ye Yun looked at Mu Qing, her eyes misty, and nodded gently, "I'm sorry, I made you worry."
Mu Qing smiled and reached out to take Ye Yun's hand, but there was a gust of wind behind him. Ying Que knocked Mu Qing back with a palm and blocked Ye Yun, looking at Mu Qing with murderous intent in his eyes. .
Mu Qing covered his chest and looked at Ying Que, thoughtfully.
Ying Que may be the fearful fantasy in Ye Yun's heart. If Ying Que disappears, can Ye Yun get rid of this dream?
Mu Qing remembered Xichuan's warning and did not take action against Ying Que immediately.
He looked around and saw that Xiao Er and others were gathered in the lobby at this time, and said: "She is not Qingyu Sword Immortal, but my Taoist companion Ye Yun."
The waiter looked at Mu Qing with complicated eyes and did not respond.
Mu Qing did not expect these people to have independent consciousness like Wushan, and continued: "I already know your story from their mouths. To be honest, I did misunderstand you."
"I am also a city lord. From the city gate to here, I have thought about it. As a city lord, I will probably never be able to catch up with you."
"But as a man, you are not as good as me in front of the woman you like."
The complicated color in the waiter's eyes disappeared, a white halo spread around his body, and his whole temperament began to change. He said: "She still hasn't distinguished which dreams and which are reality. If you really attack the person in front of her, just It will hurt her."
A trace of anger finally flashed in Mu Qing's eyes: "So you let her immerse in her dream and maintain this self-deceptive dream for you?"
Xichuan looked at Mu Qing, was silent for a moment, and said, "I don't understand what you are talking about."
Mu Qing silently sensed something, and after confirming that the connection was established, he said: "Your dreams have been collapsing. This is just like when the spiritual energy was cut off, it is an unchangeable ending."
Xichuan frowned and looked at Mu Qing, as if he noticed something, and said in a deep voice: "Have you established contact with the outside world?"
Mu Qing did not deny it and said: "This is the second dream I have entered, and the fact that I can do this proves that my guess is correct."
"This dream of yours has reached the edge of collapse, and in order to delay the arrival of this moment, you have begun to do whatever it takes."
Xichuan said: "You are the only travelers who have come to Xichuan City in so many years, and until now, I still have not interfered with the free operation order of Xichuan City."
Mu Qing raised his eyebrows and said: "The so-called free operating order does not prevent the devouring and assimilation of this dream? Let us become part of this dream that is destined to collapse?"
Xichuan shook his head and said: "Since you know what happened back then, you should understand my position. I believe you can understand the meaning of these warnings I issued to you. If you insist on going your own way, none of you can leave here. "
Mu Qing shook his head calmly and said: "I will come here just to take my woman out of here. If I can't, I will die here together."
Xichuan looked at Mu Qing with deep eyes and said nothing.
Mu Qing said: "I won't try to wake up a person who is immersed in his own dream and doesn't want to wake up, because someone who pretends to be asleep cannot be woken up at all."
"But as a latecomer, I still want to remind you. Since you can't save everyone, you should be selfish, look back, look at the people who are always standing by your side, and protect them. Full consciousness is much more meaningful.”
"Wushan's evaluation of you is not bad. You are indeed the one who has given the most. But you only owe Ye Qingyu."
"enough!"
Xichuan interrupted Mu Qing for the first time and said with a gloomy expression: "I will only do what I think should be done. If you feel it is inappropriate, you can take action."
Mu Qing raised his sword eyebrows slightly, looked at Ye Yun, and then stopped at Ying Que.
Ying Que's attack on Mu Qing had already made Ye Yun extremely sad. At this moment, Mu Qing seemed to be shaking his head feebly and whispered: "No..."
Ye Yun is indeed as Xichuan said, she has no memory of distinguishing between reality and dreams.
Mu Qing felt a lot of pity in his heart. He turned to look at the window and said, "I should actually thank you. Ye Yun really can't escape your dream like I can. So I thought of another way."
Mu Qing retracted his gaze, looked at Xichuan, and sighed softly: "We are ready, what about you?"
Xichuan's expression changed, he suddenly looked in the direction of the city gate, and said angrily: "Stop!"
A distant and loud roar smoothed the night of Xichuan City, and countless pairs of eyes in the city looked in the same direction.
The tall, usually taciturn Witch Clan guard stood at the top of the city wall. He was raising his hands and condensing the maximum strength to smash at the city wall he had been guarding.
Boom,
The earth shook.
The tall city wall instantly shattered and collapsed under the powerful force of the Wu clan.
Wu Shan suffered the backlash from the entire city. His body shook a few times and his breath quickly dimmed. He stood among the ruins and looked into the city. His sight penetrated through the walls and saw Xichuan and Mu Qing standing on the street. .
Wushan smiled and said: "City Lord, that boy is right."
Xichuan flew into the air, looked at Wushan from a distance, and said coldly: "Do you know what you are doing?"
At the same time as the voice of Xichuan sounded, there were bursts of thunder over the entire Xichuan City, the wind howled, and countless turbulent currents rushed towards the place where Wu Shan was standing, but were temporarily stopped by Xichuan's supreme power.
This was probably the first time Wu Shan did something that was against Xichuan's wishes. He quickly lowered his head and stopped looking at Xichuan.
He slumped down on a broken wall and said with respect in his voice: "I know what I am doing. Although I, Wu Shan, am not a great witch, I stayed in Xichuan City because of the promise you made to everyone, City Lord."
"...Although it seems now that we have all failed. But it doesn't matter anymore."
Wu Shan raised his head, his eyes swept over every part of the city he was guarding, and said slowly: "During the years when I was sitting at the gate of the city, I would often feel unwilling, and of course I would blame you... But now , I have already clearly realized that I am a dead person, and I think they would also think so if they were awake."
There was no expression on Xichuan's face and he said, "So?"
Wu Shan smiled with relief: "So I want to leave."
Xichuan's face suddenly twisted
, covering his face with his hands, hissed: "Do you know what you are doing?"
Mu Qing's eyes flashed on the street. This was the second time Xichuan asked the same sentence, but it was no longer the same question.
Mu Qing ignored Ying Que, whose eyes were as sharp as a knife, held Ye Yun's hand, and said to the confused waiter at the door of the inn: "I have known you for so long, but I still don't know your name."
The waiter looked at the night sky with lightning and thunder, and his confused eyes finally revealed a trace of emotion that he had never seen before, and said: "My name is Shen Qianqiu."
"Shen Qianqiu..." Mu Qing muttered softly, nodded and said, "Fellow Taoist Shen Qianqiu, have a good journey."
Mu Qing turned sideways and faced a certain direction, raised the sword technique with one hand, and said silently in his heart: "Here comes the sword!"
Earlier, the outside world, Yejia Winery.
The Xinghua Bell trembled slightly, and a golden light rushed out, turning into a slightly illusory figure.
Mu Qing glanced at his own body and Ye Yun, who was still sleeping in his arms, summoned a white sword box from the ring, looked at the pavilion not far away, and shouted: "Senior."
A gust of breeze rolled up the dead leaves in front of the door, and Ye Qingyu's figure appeared in front of Mu Qing, smiling: "I told you to just call me Shopkeeper Ye."
Mu Qing held the sword box in both hands and handed it to Ye Qingyu.
Ye Qingyu stroked the sword box with her slender fingers. The sword box opened automatically, and a sword with cloud patterns flew out and fell into her hand.
Ye Qingyu's slender eyebrows moved slightly and he praised sincerely: "What a sword! Is the sword famous?"
Mu Qing thought of the two people from the Shuangji Sect and said, "This sword comes from the Shuangji Sect. It was a gift from the two seniors Luo Hua and Mu Yun. It has no name."
Ye Qingjian's eyes suddenly dawned, and he sighed softly: "It turns out that the sword was left behind by an old friend."
Ye Qingyu rubbed his fingers over the sword, and the originally bright sword became clearer, like water, with the moon and snow reflecting half of Ye Qingyu's face.
Ye Qingyu looked at the sword with his beautiful eyes, and the sword trembled slightly, whispering like an old friend meeting each other.
Ye Qingyu turned his wrist lightly, and the sword body flowed like water, reflecting cloud patterns. He couldn't help but smile and said: "I am not a sword-wielding person, but I am very happy to see them one day. If you want to give this place to How about naming your Taoist companion "Yunhua"? "
Mu Qing nodded and said, "Of course."
Ye Qingyu smiled and nodded, but Mu Qing suddenly raised his head and looked somewhere in the city.
Ye Qingyu followed his gaze and said, "Wushan moves very quickly."
Mu Qing sighed softly: "If Shopkeeper Ye hadn't appeared in the dream, I might not have been able to do this."
Ye Qingyu looked down at the sword in his hand, shook his head slightly, and said, "Tell him that he and I have nothing to do with each other, and we must live well in the future."
Mu Qing was about to nod when he suddenly came to his senses and turned to look at Ye Qingyu with doubts in his eyes: "Senior?"
Ye Qingyu held the sword behind his back with one hand, walked to the ditch in the garden, and said: "I once watched the leaves falling on the water here, and I realized a sword named Luoyue, and I used it to break my dream."
Ye Qingyu moved lightly and gently held out the sword in his hand.
