Of course Xiang Shu didn't know what Xue Jiushu was thinking.
This doubt can only be put aside and left to seek answers in the future.
And while Xiang Shu was flipping through the memories of Ning Lian, somewhere in the underworld.
A wisp of smoke quickly passed through the ground, and it stopped only when it reached a cold pool somewhere, condensing into an illusory human shape.
Seeing the cold pool, the illusory human figure seemed to relax and let out a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to jump into the cold pool, a chuckle suddenly sounded very close to his ears.
"So you still remember this place."
The illusory humanoid body was shaken, its eyes were frightened, but its movements did not stop, but it jumped into the cold pool at a faster speed.
However, just when his illusory body was about to touch the surface of the cold pool, the rippled surface of the pool instantly solidified into a smooth surface of ice, pushing him away.
When the illusory humanoid saw this, his eyes became even more frightened. He raised his head and screamed, then his whole body exploded into smoke and fled in all directions.
But before escaping from the cold pool, the scattered smoke was pressed down by the sharp claws of a crow, and re-condensed into an illusory human figure that was constantly struggling.
"You should be happy to meet me. Why are you running away?"
With a sigh, Lu Xuanji walked out of the darkness.
The ice in the cold pool melted, giving off a shimmering light that illuminated half of his smiling face.
The illusory human form was suppressed by sharp claws and was speechless. He could only continue to convey his thoughts of begging for mercy.
Lu Xuanji walked up to the illusory human form, stretched out his hand to touch the human face, and the blurry face immediately became clear.
If anyone were here at this moment, they would be shocked to find that the face of the illusory humanoid is exactly the same as Lu Xuanji.
Looking at this face, Lu Xuanji's eyes were gentle:
"You have disappeared for many years without a trace. I just think you have grown up, and I also want to see what skills you have learned outside.
I never thought that I would be a tortoise just relying on a incomplete magic weapon. "
At this point, Lu Xuanji couldn't help but lamented, "It's boring, how could my residual thoughts be so boring?"
His words and deeds are extremely gentle, but in the eyes of the illusory human form, he is ten thousand times more terrifying than the devil.
When he heard the last sentence, the illusory humanoid struggled crazily, and his pleading almost overflowed from his eyes.
Unfortunately, the more it looked like this, the more Lu Xuanji felt it was worthless.
He stood up and waved his sleeves. The crow immediately opened its mouth and turned into a black hole to swallow the illusory human form.
There was a human-shaped mark on the crow's neck, and it was still struggling wildly. However, after only ten breaths, the mark gradually disappeared and returned to smoothness.
Then, the crow opened its blood-red eyes and burped.
Lu Xuanji opened his eyes at the same time, with a trace of satisfaction in his eyes, and his aura became more rounded and restrained.
Crow looked at him, with deep desire in his eyes: "With the last flaw completed, you are now stronger than your elder brother! How about..."
"Whether one is strong or weak cannot be determined by words."
Lu Xuanji interrupted the crow and smiled, the smile full of meaning: "He and I haven't fallen out yet. And the next Xizhou should be very lively, so you can't miss it."
The crow immediately burst into laughter upon hearing this.
"Watch the fun! Watch the fun!..."
Lu Xuanji rolled up his sleeves, and his figure and the crow disappeared without a trace.
Only the hoarse and unpleasant laughter was left, echoing underground for a long time.
…
Coffin Hall.
Xiang Shen put away the fragments of "Deception", sat quietly and waited for a moment, moved his eyes slightly, and looked at a wooden coffin on the left.
Duan Xue sat up straight with her eyebrows pressed, her memory still lingering on the moment she was killed in the illusion.
Where is this? Did she come out of the illusion?
She looked around the palace, and soon met Xiang Shu's gaze. Her pupils shrank, and her memory came back instantly.
"It's you! Did you break the illusion?"
This exclamation echoed in the silent palace, which was extremely harsh and immediately woke up more people around him.
The palace gradually became lively. Many people were stunned for a moment after waking up, and then cried with joy. They even ran directly to Xiang Shu, knelt down and kowtowed.
Xiang Shuo stood between the two coffins with an expressionless face. Make no response.
Duan Xue looked extremely ugly amidst the heated conversations.
Xiang Yu's identity is so sensitive. Once the Pantheon discovers her presence in Xizhou, danger will surely follow!
This time she took the risk to come to the rescue secretly, showing off the situation, which was very good, but she exposed the truth with one word.
Pantheon only needs to track down one or two, and they will definitely find Xiang Shen and his feet.
What should I do?
Full of guilt and worry, she walked to Xiang Shu: "I'm sorry..."
"It doesn't matter."
Xiang Shen smiled faintly: "If I were willing, I would never give you a chance to speak from the beginning."
When Duan Xue heard this, she was startled and immediately frowned.
Did Xiang Shu do it on purpose?
Does she want to use her own words to express her existence?
Why is this?
Isn't she afraid that the Pantheon will target her to death?
"Uncle Master Duan?"
A murmur suddenly interrupted her thinking.
Duan Xue came back to her senses, looked down, and happened to catch Tang Yin's gaze.
"Senior Nephew Yin? Why are you here?" Duan Xue was surprised.
"Uncle, this is it..." Tang Yin explained the cause and effect.
After hearing this, Duan Xue was silent for a moment, and finally sighed: "It was me who caused harm to the disciples in the palace this time."
"Uncle Master, how can I blame you for this?"
Tang Yin quickly spoke out to comfort her: "Master often says that the way of heaven is impermanent. We monks are fighting with heaven for our fate. Death and death are all destiny."
Xiang Shen listened, raising his eyebrows slightly.
Did she ever say such a thing?
After Tang Yin finished speaking, she realized it later, covered her mouth in fear, and looked at Xiang Shu cautiously.
Although she has always regarded Xiang Shu as her master, this matter has never been acknowledged.
When she entered Piaoxue Palace, she was conflicted, but under the persuasion of her senior sisters, she still worshiped another master.
Master won't disown her because of this, right?
She was filled with regret, but Xiang Shen just smiled at her gently.
Master doesn't blame her.
Tang Yin felt at ease and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Duan Xue witnessed this scene and was stunned for a moment before remembering a rumor that had been circulated in Piaoxue Palace in the early years.
At that time, the monks from Dongzhou had just integrated into Xizhou, and Piaoxue Hall accepted a group of them.
At that time, she heard that among those disciples there were disciples of Dongzhou Earth God.
She only thought it was a rumor, but never thought it was true.
"I wonder if Fellow Daoist Duan would mind?"
Xiang Shu suddenly said, "If you mind, I will take her away."
The meaning of these words was vague, but it was clear to both parties who they were referring to.
Duan Xue glanced at Tang Yin, who looked worried, and smiled slightly: "As long as the disciple's virtue is not bad, we in Piaoxue Palace only look at the future, not where we came from.
Yin'er is lucky to have an elder like you protecting her. How can we, Piaoxue Palace, mind? "
Having said this, Duan Xue turned her eyes, looked at Lin Beilan and Luo Qingyun who had just sat up from the coffin, and smiled meaningfully:
"We are both female cultivators, so we are destined to be together.
Fellow Taoist, if you have free time in the future, you might as well go to the cold region for a visit, so that I, Piaoxue Palace, can fulfill my friendship as a landlord. "
