"Lian'er, is that you?"
Chong Yanshu tried his best to maintain calm, but Xiang Shu still heard a tremor in his voice.
When Chou Lian heard the word "Lian'er", he became even more excited. He stood up and stepped forward to hug his father. After he jumped into the air, he suddenly woke up and looked at Xiang Shu pleadingly.
Chong Yanshu didn't get a response and looked at Chuan at the same time.
Only the old woman looked at Chong Yanshu with a blank expression, not yet clearing up the situation.
"Friend Cui Dao, Cui Lian is indeed right in front of you. It's just that you can't see him. No one can see him except me.
"What is the reason? I don't think I need a little girl to explain it, my Taoist friends also understand it."
Under Xiang Shu's calm tone, there was a hint of sigh.
When Chong Yanshu heard this, his eyes wandered around the empty front for a moment. He was silent for a moment, and then asked again:
"My son...how are you doing?"
Zou Lian's body trembled, and he subconsciously looked down at the bloody lines all over his body.
The Tiandao pattern that I was proud of in the past has now become disgusting when it falls into my eyes.
He heard it in the courtyard, Qingtian broke the heavenly order, and formed a deadly feud with the Tiandao lineage.
My father was the confidant of Qingtian, and he was killed by the lineage of Tiandao!
Then he gave up his own blood and merged with the way of heaven...
Thinking of this, Zou Lian felt a pang of pain in his heart that spread throughout his body.
He couldn't stop trembling and said hoarsely: "Tell him that I am living a good life. It's just that my parents haven't been around since I was a child, and I miss them all the time."
Convey the original words to Gouzhao.
Hearing this, Chong Yanshu felt happy and guilty at the same time.
He sighed softly, "My son...has suffered. The choices of our generation have harmed you in the end."
Having said this, he turned to look at Xiang Shu and said, "I wonder if you can help me, my wife and my old mother, to have a few words with the child."
Xiang Shen naturally agreed.
When the old woman heard this, she finally made a guess, and her muddy old eyes gradually became moist...
An hour later, Xiang Shu took Chong Lian and walked out of Chong's house.
"I owe you a favor."
Zou Lian looked at the setting sun on the horizon and said softly: "We should be in the Blood Refining Crystal Wall, the treasure of the Abyss Snake Clan."
After saying this, Zou Lian glanced at Xiang Shu and saw that she just nodded slightly. There was no surprise or surprise.
If she didn't even know this, how could this woman serve under the Ancient God of Taiyin?
He continued, "My Tiandao pattern can resist the memory robbery of the crystal wall. But it is only a resistance. It cannot destroy the illusion and escape from the crystal wall."
"What about the Tiandao pattern?" Xiang Shu finally said.
After hearing this, Zou Lian finally determined that she helped spread the message just to find a way to break the situation.
eccentric.
This blood-refined crystal wall should be in Taiyin's hands now. Why would Taiyin trap his men?
He was confused in his heart, but he showed no abnormality on the surface. He said frankly: "There are two ways. One is to reverse the memory of the illusion."
As soon as these words came out, Xiang Shu's expression turned cold: "You know this is impossible."
Chou Lian was helpless, "Secondly, there is no hope, otherwise how could I still be here?"
Having said that, Zou Lian went on to explain the second method clearly:
"The blood-refined crystal wall traps people with illusions, and plunders the trapped people's memories in a repetitive cycle to make up for the consumption.
The more times it is cycled, the greater the consumption, and thus the more memories are plundered.
If the consumption of the crystal wall can be made more than enough, and the person who receives the spell can always retain the memory and stay awake, the cycle will continue.
As time goes by, the energy of the crystal wall is exhausted, and the cycle starts again, and the illusion is like tissue paper, which can be broken with a raise of hands! "
Having said this, Zou Lian sighed softly:
"After what I said, my Taoist friends may think that I am the most suitable person to break the situation, but this is not the case. The Tiandao pattern can protect you without losing your memory, but it also separates you from the illusion.
In other words
In other words, if there are no fellow Taoists here, everything in the illusion below will be in a stagnant state, and the blood refining crystal will not be consumed.
There is no way to talk about breaking the situation. "
Xiang Shu frowned slightly: "Besides this, is there no other way?"
Zou Lian shook his head.
Xiang Shu was silent for a moment, then cupped his hands towards Su Lian and turned to leave.
Chong Lian looked at his leaving figure, turned around and entered the gate of Chong's house.
After dark, he will go to the lantern festival with his parents.
Even if he is a person who can only listen but cannot speak transparently, as long as he can stay with his parents for a while, he is very satisfied.
The sun sets in the west, and the sky is filled with red clouds.
The lively celebration of the Moon Festival has finally begun.
Xiang Shu was sitting on the roof of a chamber of commerce, looking calmly at the busy traffic below, but the noise seemed to be separated by the moonlight on the horizon, far away.
After taking two sips of wine, she raised her hand and swiped the sky. Eight multicolored crystals were lined up in front of her. Seven of the roses had lost their luster and memory.
Looking at the only radiant crystal, Xiang Shu's eyebrows almost twisted into the character "Chuan".
Zou Lian's second method is to let her compete with the Blood Lian Crystal Wall.
But her family knows her own affairs, how can she afford it? It is very likely that this only remaining crystal stone will not be able to survive this round.
Moreover, the meaning of refining is to make the memory absorbed by the crystal wall in each cycle be far less than the loss, so that the foundation of the crystal wall can be damaged.
But this situation will only happen when her consciousness and memory are not enough.
And after one round of the cycle, her memory is completely empty and the cycle will stop. How can she continue?
Unless, she can freely control the memory of the sea of consciousness, leaving only a trace each time for the cycle to continue.
But how is this possible?
Not to mention how she could remember to control the sea of consciousness despite complete amnesia.
She simply cannot resist the memory deprivation in the illusion. How can she retain her memory and fight a protracted battle against the Blood Refining Crystal Wall?
Thinking of this, Xiang Shu was startled.
etc!
Keep memories?
She suddenly raised her head and stared at the eight crystals in front of her, her eyes flickering.
These eight crystals are embedded in the eight secret realm magic weapons. They are most likely the medium for the people behind the scenes to control the secret realm. Moreover, these crystals, like the Blood Refining Crystal Wall, can contain memories.
Therefore, she had long suspected that these crystal stones were fragments of the Blood Refining Crystal Wall!
The crystal can hold those ancient memories, but what about her own?
If she hides her own memory in the crystal, will the blood-refined crystal wall take it away?
Thinking of this, Xiang Shu manipulated the sea of consciousness without saying anything, and tried to instill a ray of his own memory into a dim crystal.
The crystal suddenly flickered, accepting the memory without any hindrance.
When Xiang Shu saw this scene, his eyes suddenly brightened and his thoughts began to change rapidly.
Although everything is just her speculation, this method is not completely hopeless and is worth a try.
The only flaw is that she completely lost her memory after the cycle, so how can she remember to continue to extract memories from the crystal.
After the cycle, everything will return to its original state, including herself. She couldn't mark any place as a reminder.
After pondering for a moment, Xiang Shen put away the crystal and jumped off the roof.
"Lian'er, I wonder if you have ever tasted delicacies in the world of mortals. My favorite ones are lotus cakes and sweet-scented osmanthus cakes..."
"Lian'er, do you like this monkey lantern?"
"Lian'er..."
Zou Lian followed his parents, listening to their nagging, his eyebrows filled with joy that he had never seen before.
He was about to follow his parents to the next stall when he was suddenly tapped on the shoulder.
Zou Lian turned around and saw Xiang Shu without any surprise. He frowned slightly. Before he could speak, he heard Xiang Shu say:
"I didn't mean to disturb you, but there is something I need your help with.
If you agree, I can be yours from now on
Pass the microphone so that you and your parents can enjoy your trip. "
As soon as these words came out, Su Lian's brows immediately relaxed and he asked, "How can I help you?"
Xiang Shu's tone was low: "I need to borrow your Tiandao Pattern for use."
When these words came out, she thought Zou Lian would be hesitant, but she didn't expect the other party to hold his hand without hesitation, stimulating a blood line, raised his head and said, "How to use it?"
Xiang Shu was startled for a moment, then quickly returned to normal and stretched out a white arm.
"Please engrave it here."
Hearing the words, Chou Lian immediately manipulated the blood lines to form words one by one, and embedded them into the flesh and blood of his arm according to Xiang Shu's instructions.
Within a moment, three blood-colored words were formed—the Awakening Stone.
Once the crystal is activated to restore memory, Xiang Shen naturally knows what to do.
When Xue Lian saw these three words, his mind changed slightly. It seemed that this crystal stone was the opponent's trump card to get out of trouble.
If it were my former self, I would probably have had the desire to snatch it, right?
Zou Lian was surprised in his heart, but he didn't show it on the outside. He just said lightly: "Let's go."
If possible, he would rather stay here forever to accompany his parents.
Unfortunately, if no one else existed, he wouldn't even be able to enter the cycle.
Xiang Shu accompanied Chong's family shopping until late at night, and then separated from Chong Lian.
After that, she went back to the roof to drink alone and wait patiently.
Until the last moment was approaching, she decisively took out the crystal and absorbed all her memories, leaving only a trace of the crystal's memory.
Then a moment later, the heaven and earth froze.
"Baozi, just out of the cage! Three cents a cage."
"Tanghulu, sell candied haws!"
"Let's take a look. Our store has a new batch of sapphire jewelry..."
Xiang Shu opened his eyes and looked at the busy market around him, with a deep confusion in his eyes.
This is where?
Why am I here?
who I am?
Questions popped up in her mind one by one, and before she could think about it any further, a heartbreaking pain suddenly came from her right arm.
Although it hurt, subconsciously, Xiang Shu felt that the pain was nothing.
She just frowned and raised her hand to look. The words "Qing Jing Shi" came into view immediately.
"Spar..."
She murmured, touched her waist, and sure enough she felt a hard lump.
She instinctively felt wary and turned away from the busy city. She waited until she found a deserted place before she found the crystal.
She absorbed it habitually, and a stream of memory immediately emerged from the crystal.
As the memory gradually recovered, the confusion in Xiang Shen's eyes quickly faded, and then he returned to the original roof again and waited patiently...
At the same time, at the end of the underground maze, in the center of a magnificent hall, stood in front of a transparent crystal wall shining with colorful brilliance.
Wisps of mist seeped out from the crystal wall.
A figure shrouded in black robes stood in front of the crystal wall, greedily absorbing every ray of mist, unaware that several eyes were falling on him from behind.
Concentrated, Lu Yushan's whole body was bound by a black chain, unable to move. He could only look at the figure sitting not far in front of him with a gloomy look.
"The ninth round has passed, and the people in the Blood Refining Crystal Wall have long lost their minds. If you don't take action, what are you planning to do?"
Lu Xuanji turned around and smiled slightly: "Junior brother Lu, if it's not the case, senior brother won't do anything. Senior brother is just thinking about one thing.
Junior brother, do you think...the Earth God of Dongzhou is in the crystal wall? "
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of Lu Yue and others who were also restrained beside Lu Yushan changed instantly.
