Chapter 102: Fire and Water Cannot Coexist, Harmony Yet Differences (Part 2) "I only listen to you..."
The two people who flew out of the brocade bag were the long-missing Xie Zhiyan and Xue Nu.
Ye Qingzhan gathered the fallen leaves into his sleeves and gazed at them from afar. Xie Zhiyan, clad in a tattered costume and covered in scars, slowly raised his drooping head, his pupils a chilling white, his gaze dull and empty. Beside him, Xue Nu's white body seemed to have been dipped in a blood-red dye vat, a terrifying crimson. Her long hair, once flowing like a waterfall, now resembled countless white and red venomous snakes, spitting out their venom in the night wind. Her eyes, like Xie Zhiyan's, were white, their gaze fixed on an unknown location.
They were like two gate gods, guarding Dr. Fox.
Seeing them, Li Zhixing was the first to realize they had been transformed into puppets, controlled by the fox people. Li Zhixing acted decisively. He set up a barrier in a corner where Dr. Fox wouldn't notice, trapping the severely injured Hu Tangqing and the ghost guest who was closest to him. He then shouted at Ye Qingzhan and Wen Gu, "Xie Zhiyan and Xue Nu have become puppets. Be careful, they only obey the orders of this fox now!" "
Puppet?
After hearing the exiled immortal's cry, Ye Qingzhan hurriedly turned his wrist and shot out one bubble-like barrier after another towards the stage, encircling the ghost guests in the audience and escorting them to the second floor to stay with Qinghuai and the others. She had a premonition that a big battle would take place, and besides being anxious, she was actually looking forward to it.
Ye Qingzhan rubbed her chest, and her hand rose up uncontrollably. She lowered her eyes to look at her hand that was eager to try and want to attack immediately. She didn't understand where the expectation in her heart that was about to show on her face and externalized in action came from - wasn't she most afraid of fighting? Why did she want to show her skills and beat up this fox Taoist priest so much at this time?
But she only knew how to defend, and her attacks were never as sharp as Wen Gu's. It's better to endure it and be careful. Ye Qingzhan pressed down the hand that had been stretched out and looked at Wen Gu.
Unlike her restlessness at this time, Wen Gu's eyes were surprisingly calm. He stared at the two people standing in the air protecting the fox Taoist priest, and a blue ice blade emerged from his hand. He asked, "Are you okay? "
Although the people beside her didn't turn around, Ye Qingzhan knew that Wen Gu was asking her. It seemed that after returning from Hu Tangqing's sea of consciousness, Wen Gu could always perceive the changes in her mood in time, even without the intermediary of Yin Sha, he could still perceive it accurately.
He was like a roundworm in her stomach, knowing everything. It was more like living in her heart, able to hear all her thoughts and perceive the ever-changing moods of her mind.
This feeling was very strange, but now was not the time to be strange. Ye Qingzhan responded very quickly, "No things", and put all his energy and attention on the three people in the air.
Dr. Fox looked around with smiling eyes, and took out a gourd from his sleeve.
Ye Qingzhan recognized the gourd at a glance. In Mingche's illusion, the monk from Wuya Academy who took advantage of Mingche's drunkenness to fight him, was holding such a brown wooden gourd engraved with scriptures, and released Ye Mei.
Sure enough, after the fox Taoist's hand brushed the mouth of the bottle, Ye Mei's lewd music suddenly surged out, and instantly filled every corner of the Hongchen Inn.
"I've been looking for you so hard."
"I'm finally out. ”
“Come with me, stay away from the pain of the world, and be a happy immortal…”
The old voice mixed with the sigh of the young girl, sometimes sad, sometimes gentle, every word drilled into people's hearts, constantly bewitching every ghost guest here. Fortunately, Li Zhixing and Ye Qingzhan let them enter the soundproof barrier in advance.
At this time, in this world, the only one who might be deceived by this voice is probably Wen Gu. The night ghosts attacked in groups, and the sound turned into omnipresent sharp arrows, and like slanting wind and drizzle, densely surrounding Wen Gu. The voices of Mu Wanzhou and Wen Hua were also mixed in, over and over again, clearly echoing in Wen Gu's ears. "Good
boy, you have suffered for so many years, mother will take you away, let mother take good care of you, and make up for what I owe you over the years."
"Child, your father has been looking for you for a long time, go with your father, and our family can be reunited, okay? "
Night spirits are the best at transforming into human voices. The voices they transform into are the knots in one's heart, and the thoughts that one thinks about day and night. Ye Qingzhan was not without worries - in the Red Dust Inn, the only person with a knot in his heart was Wen Gu.
"Wen Gu, don't be fooled by it, these voices are fake, they are deceiving you!" Ye Qingzhan swung his arms with both hands, "Wen Gu, you must be sober, you must be calm -" Before she finished speaking, her hands were held back.
Wen Gu lowered her eyes, and when she raised them again, the ice blade cut through the sky, and the cold light dispersed the night spirits that kept closing in on him.
"Get out."
The voice that came out was more bone-chilling than a thousand-year-old ice. Wen Gu put away the ice blade, and when he looked at Ye Qingzhan, his eyes softened again, like spring water melting ice, and he said to her: "Well, I don't believe them."
Ye Qingzhan nodded, and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. He met Wen Gu's moonlit eyes and heard him say again: "I only listen to you. "
When the young man said this, his voice was as gentle as usual, and his tone was not deliberately exaggerated. However, every word he said seemed particularly solemn in the night, as if he had made a solemn promise to his sweetheart. When he heard it, it had the charming tone of love words.
Hearing this, Ye Qingzhan was slightly stunned, and pulled his hand out of Wen Gu's palm. He hurriedly made seals and set up a barrier, and said: "I'm glad that you're okay, I'm glad that you're okay, let's go and kill the fox quickly. "
When the Night Phantom attacked, she managed to use the barrier to transfer the ghost guests to the second floor in time to protect the two of them. Fortunately, Wen Gu was determined and was not affected by it. But just now, after hearing what he said, her heart seemed to melt, soft and difficult to hold. It happened in an instant, but for her, it was like a day and a night, making her almost forget that she was still in danger.
Wen Gu responded lightly, and pointed the cold blade at the three people standing in the air.
Dr. Fox sighed with regret: "You really ruined my kindness. The Night Phantom prepared for you alone was broken up by your sword. "As he spoke, he waved his wide sleeves, and the scattered sounds came back, circling around Ye Qingzhan and Wen Gu like ghosts.
The Taoist knew very well that the combined power of the ghosts in the Red Dust Inn was not as strong as that of this young man who grew up in the boundless and strange domain. And his parents were rare Taoist geniuses, the pride of heaven. The child they gave birth to had a natural and beautiful physique for cultivating immortals. After more than ten years of cultivation in that place, he learned all the techniques of the hundreds of immortal sects. If it weren't for the conflict between the Yin Sha in his body and the law of the righteous way, which suppressed his spiritual power and made it difficult for him to break through, the world's number one cultivator would have been this child long ago.
Thinking of this, the fox Taoist shook his head, his hooked eyes He stared at Wen Gu intently, as if trying to see through him.
After Mu Wanzhou and Wen Hua asked to leave the sect, their master became furious, lost his mind, collapsed, and his spiritual power could no longer be restored to its former state. This gave Hu Shuo an opportunity. While he was weak, he took away his pair of "wisdom eyes".
Wisdom eyes, observing things with the eyes, can explore spiritual roots, find wisdom roots, and awaken the roots of intelligence. They can see a person's talent and endowment at a glance.
The master of the three of them relied on this pair of "wisdom eyes" that he got by accident to recruit talents from all over the world. Only Hu Shuo was kind-hearted and wanted the reputation of his sect.
Hu Shuo, Dr. Fox, has always been the dumbest disciple of Wuya Academy and has never been recognized by his master.
"It's really unfair," Taoist Fox's voice penetrated the roars and howls of Ye Mei and spoke to the boys and girls standing side by side on the ground. "Tell me, why do some people have everything when they are born? Just like you two."
Ye Qingzhan and Wen Gu were on high alert, fearing a sudden attack from the fox Taoist. They paid no attention to his ill-timed question, nor could they understand why he would think so of them.
"Never mind, there's no point in saying more."
The moment the words left his mouth, the fox Taoist's whisk soared higher. Xie Zhiyan, who stood guard before him, followed suit, spear in hand, charging directly at the two men standing on the ground.
The white-robed fox immediately struck, sending Xie Zhiyan with swift movements. His spear was lightning-fast, stabbing and prodding the barrier. After a few strikes, the barrier was shattered to dust.
Ye Qingzhan muttered, "Not good!" inwardly, and Wen Gu grabbed his arm around his waist and pulled him back a few steps. Xie Zhiyan swooped down from the air, spear in hand, pressing forward, each move fierce and ruthless.
Wen Gu, by contrast, hesitated in his attack. He couldn't blame him; after all, the man chasing him was Zhao Jinfan's beloved, the man they had been searching for for so long.
Zhao Jinfan, who was watching anxiously on the second floor, felt his heart tighten when he saw this, and he babbled as if he wanted to make a sound.
The three of them chased each other, attacked and defended. As Ye Qingzhan retreated, she glanced at the exiled immortal who was hiding behind the pillar and remained unchanged in the face of ever-changing circumstances, and then looked at the fox Taoist's whisk suspended in the air.
She didn't know if the exiled immortal could read her eyes, but Ye Qingzhan felt that it was the whisk flying in the air that was controlling Xie Zhiyan. The whisk turned into thousands of invisible threads, controlling Xie Zhiyan like a puppet.
In the illusion of Qinghuai, Ye Qingzhan had heard rumors about Xie Zhiyan. He was the son of a military general. Even though he didn't like practicing martial arts, and later on he mostly played the role of a scholar on stage, his martial arts skills never diminished, and his spear skills were superb. He often relied on dancing with a spear to attract Zhao Jinfan's attention.
The most notable feature of Xie Zhiyan's spear skills was not its sharpness, but its speed. But while his strikes were swift, they were nowhere near the speed he'd witnessed in the illusion; they were truly invisible and formless.
I wonder if Wen Gu noticed it, but as Ye Qingzhan retreated with him, his keen eyesight always caught Xie Zhiyan's pauses amid the flashes of swords and sabers. It wasn't just a pause between moves, it was more like he was calculating his next move. In other words, he seemed unfamiliar with his spearmanship, as if he were being manipulated. Otherwise, he wouldn't have remained undefeated, still concerned for Wen Gu's safety. He
'd initially assumed the whisk was meant to control the Night Demon, but now, it seemed more related to Xie Zhiyan's actions.
Li Zhixing naturally noticed the awkwardness in Xie Zhiyan's spearmanship and began to wonder what he could do to knock down the irritating whisk.
But before he could even leave the pillar, the fox Taoist's gaze shifted to him. Li Zhixing's heart tightened, and his raised foot froze in mid-air, not daring to move. He is no longer the same as before. In order to protect Hu Tangqing's consciousness, he dispersed all his immortal power and fell into the status of a ghost immortal. However, the ghost energy he accumulated was not deep enough and he could not hold on for long. He might even be a hindrance and have to wait for someone to rescue him.
As expected, what you fear will come true. Li Zhixing's eyes met with Dr. Fox who turned around. He tilted his head slightly, and the Snow Girl raised her head, her white pupils turned into locks, and held him tightly.
Li Zhixing thought to himself: It's over.
