"Did you encounter a monster?" Wen Guying asked. Then he noticed the blood on Chang Xiao's chest and asked, "Are you injured?"
'Chang Xiao' didn't answer.
Wen Guying seemed to notice something unusual about him. He looked at Chang Xiao and then said, "Then let's go back quickly. Can you still lead the way?"
'Chang Xiao' nodded, walked past Wen Guying and led the way.
Chang Xiao was sure that Wen Guying must have noticed something strange about him. Why don't you give him a sword and kill him directly? As he thought about it, he suspected that the half-demon was deliberately letting Wen Guying see it. Whether it is Wen Guying, Jiang Mei, or Mr. Li, they are not people who refuse to save others. And what the half-demon has to do may be to let them save him.
He recalled the dispute between Wen Jiang and Wen Jiang when they first entered Wochi. At that time, he did not participate, and was even intimidated by their momentum, but he was somewhat disapproving of it - Wochi was the home where he grew up, and no matter how powerful the monk was, as long as he was in Wochi, he would never be a liability. .
I didn't expect the slap in the face to come so quickly.
Chang Xiao smiled bitterly, but there was a surge of dissatisfaction in his heart.
The body mechanically moved forward step by step. Dao Zhang Wen... should follow him. He couldn't hear the footsteps. It's also possible that his sword is pointing at him, ready to kill him at any time.
His body tilted a bit, as if he tripped over something, and he staggered several times before he regained his balance.
Xu Ling didn't seem to have complete control over his body, and Chang Xiao suddenly realized this.
This is his body. He can run freely in the vast fertile pond. He will always run faster than the darkness and run back to the light of the Tianzhu. After being brought back to the General's Mansion by his father, his father personally taught him the sword skills, day after day. During the training, his control over the body has long been at a perfect level, perhaps not as good as that of a monk, but even against a monk, he always felt that he could at least match two or three moves.
Are you so easily taken over by those things in the dark?
Not willing to give in.
The ethereal spirits or other things he had defeated had never taken advantage of him when he was ignorant.
He began to recall his body, his hands, the knife in his hand...his knife?
Chang Xiao found that he had taken the knife from Wen Guying at some point, and then he felt his consciousness waking up from his body.
He suddenly realized that the half-demon did not take away his control of the body. She just used some method or medicine to paralyze his body, and the virtual spirit only used some methods to make him move. Just a sentence.
Bluff, the word flashed through his mind, along with the demi-demon's mocking look.
After that, he felt something coming out of his chest.
Is it blood?
It's ice cold, not blood. After the thing flowed out, Chang Xiao felt that he had more control over his body. He squeezed the handle of the knife, and the familiar feeling came back.
So he stopped and looked up at the Tianzhu light.
"Mr. Chang, what's wrong?" Wen Guying's voice came from behind him.
Walk forward for a while and you will reach the Tianzhu.
Chang Xiao closed his eyes and exhaled a long breath. He was feeling Tianzhu's position and his body. He felt that the virtual spirit attached to him was hiding. It did not disappear, but was hiding in a corner of his body, waiting for an opportunity.
Wen Guying's voice came again, "Mr. Chang, if you have anything to say, don't worry, just say it."
After hearing this, Chang Xiao was sure that all the changes in him were not hidden from Wen Guying's eyes. Even when he was able to regain control of his body, he lowered his eyes and looked at the knife in his hand, probably because Wen Guying secretly took action.
"Director Wen," Chang Xiao heard him ask Wen Guying: "I had a dispute with Director Jiang that day. Do you really think that I am here and can help you?"
"Of course." Wen Guying answered without hesitation.
"Because I can lead the way?" Chang Xiao asked.
"It's not just that, it's because of chance," Wen Guying explained: "This matter should be on you and Brother Li. If you are not here, even if Brother Jiang and I have the power to penetrate the sky and the earth, it will only be a waste of time."
"Master Wen is so humble," Chang Xiao said.
"No, it's just that in my opinion, if you have a chance to fight, you should give it a try." Wen Guying said in a calm tone: "When is the time to be completely prepared and safe in practicing a religion?"
Wen Gu responded: "You want to solve the mystery of your life experience. Brother Li wants to take a step forward in the "Book of Patterns". Brother Jiang and I want to find out the whereabouts of the White Walkers. Wochi may always be there, but if you miss the opportunity, you will If I miss it, even if I become an immortal in the future, or even become a true immortal, I will never be able to get back what I missed."
Chang Xiao turned around and saw Wen Guying standing behind him and looking at him gently. The Taoist robe floats up and the sword hangs diagonally on his waist, like an immortal descending to earth.
Wen Guying handed him a wine glass and said, "Drink it to drive away the cold."
Chang Xiao took it and saw the turbid liquid in the cup, as if paper ash had been sprinkled into the wine.
Very exorcistic.
Chang Xiao raised his head and drank it, feeling as if a fire was burning in his body, and the cold feeling completely faded away. After that, he calmed down and asked: "Why did the light of the Tianzhu go out?"
Wen Guying replied: "There are nearly a hundred ancient monsters sealed in the Wochi. These seals are part of the formation and maintain the stability of the Wochi. When there is a problem with the seal, it will also affect the Tianzhu. This is what Jiang Dao and I are talking about. Friend’s speculation.”
"Will the light go out?" Chang Xiao asked.
"Once, there will be a second time. The only question is how much price she has to pay..." Wen Guying answered calmly and said, "I speculate that this is not something she can do easily."
"What about you?" Chang Xiao asked.
"What's wrong with me?" Wen Guying was a little curious.
"If you faced her, could you win?" Chang Xiao asked.
Wen Guying thought about it seriously and said, "Maybe between five and five."
Then, he explained it carefully and said: "Twenty years ago, she was rescued by people from the Shenxia Sect, and she has been hiding in the Wochi since then. The injuries she suffered at that time, even if she was treated, were not the same. She can be raised in two years, so her strength should not improve much compared to twenty years ago. But if she has other opportunities while she is here, it is hard to say. "
"As for her strength twenty years ago... In terms of realm, I should be slightly better. Her cultivation level is between the two, and her half-demon bloodline is powerful. Maybe she also has some bloodline secrets that we don't know about." Wen Guying said.
"Do you have the strength to fight?" Chang Xiao asked.
Wen Guying said with a smile: "Master Chang, please lead the way."
Chang Xiao recalled the path he had taken, and vaguely felt that after going to the sealing place once, he seemed to have memorized the atmosphere there, and could feel the location of the sealing place just like feeling the position of the Tianzhu.
He experienced this feeling carefully, and there were countless roads connected in his mind, and finally he found the way.
He took a step to the side and walked into the darkness.
