Chu Wanning was injured, and the other three were exhausted. After running into the corridor outside the Shenwu Garage, Chu Wanning asked them to rest for a while. No one spoke first, either standing or sitting, checking the wounds on themselves or others, and relaxing their strength.

Only Xue Meng, he was stunned and hung his head, and didn't know what he was thinking.

Mo Ran murmured: "Xue Meng..."

Xue Meng ignored anyone. He walked to Chu Wanning staggeringly, raised his head, and spoke, his voice was broken.

"Master."

Chu Wanning looked at him and wanted to raise his hand to touch his messy hair, but he finally held it back.

"Is the Shenwu I chose before fake?"

Chu Wanning didn't say anything.

Xue Meng's eyes became even redder, and the black and white eyes were covered with bloodshot lines like spider webs. If it weren't for the stubbornness and conceit that forced him to support him, I was afraid that I would burst into tears immediately.

"Can I never get the weapons in the pool again?"

Chu Wanning finally closed her eyes and a sigh gradually fell.

The corridor was very quiet, and only Chu Wanning's cold voice could be heard.

“…Silly kid.”

A silly child full of sighs and helplessness made Xue Meng's last bit of rationality collapse. He could no longer bear it. He threw himself into Chu Wanning's arms, hugged Chu Wanning's waist, and burst into tears.

“Master…Master…”

Missing Jin Chengchi Shenwu is almost equivalent to missing the qualification to reach the peak of the immortal world. This is something that everyone knows very well. Mortals have limited magic power. Without divine weapons, no matter how strong they are, they are just flesh and blood.

The young masters of the sects in the upper world have some magical martial arts handed down by their ancestors. Even if they are not completely in line with their own spiritual power, they also have powerful powers that cannot be underestimated. Only Xue Meng, because the Xue Zhengyong brothers started from scratch, did not get Jin Chengchi's weapons.

Therefore, when he chose to use the ancestor sword to die with the pinxin willow, he chose to let go of his past superiority and full of energy.

Chu Wanning asked nothing or said anything. He hugged Xue Meng, who was crying loudly in his arms, touched his hair. Xue Meng was spoiled as a child and had never suffered any grievances. Therefore, he has never cried since he can remember, showing off his might all day long and arrogant.

However, at this moment, tears were intertwined on his young face, and every word was shattered, like the magic weapon he was destined to no longer have, like the heroic dream he once thought was within his reach, all shattered.

"Xue Meng." Chu Wanning held the apprentice in his arms and comforted him.

The water waves at the bottom of the lake blew Chu Wanning's white cloak and long ink-colored hair. At that moment, Mo Ran had only had time to see clearly his soft eyelashes hang down, and there was a fine soft light underneath. Then the water waves became a little bigger, and the hem of the clothes and long hair were chaotic. In the darkness, Wanning's side face could no longer be seen clearly.

All he could hear him say, "Don't cry, you're already fine."

His voice was not gentle, but Yu Chu Wanning said it was the softest sentence.

In the secret passage, the four people had their own thoughts and no one spoke again.

Mo Ran leaned against the cold wall, watching Chu Wanning embrace Xue Meng and pat his shoulder, and suddenly felt uncomfortable.

A trip to the golden pool.

When I came, I was furious and angry.

When he left, Zhongyong's injury.

Xue Meng was a pride of heaven for fifteen years.

The scenery is infinite and the spirit is full of energy.

Then one day, the red building collapsed.

From then on, he will spend his long life to forget the sharpness of these fifteen years.

When they ran out of the Shenwuku, everyone saw the Picking Willow slowly falling in the water, like the giants in the ancient world exhausted, like the death of Kuafu and the sorrow of the golden crow. The dragon people who remained on the ground were frightened and fled everywhere.

The arsenal of divine weapons millions of years ago was destroyed overnight.

The sacred tree fell down with a bang, setting off a craze in the Jincheng Pool. In front of the huge vortex, the dragons transformed into shape and turned back to their huge original bodies in order to resist the stormy waves. For a moment, the scales and armor in the Jincheng Pool were churning, and fish and dragons were thriving, making it difficult for mortals to stand.

Mo Ran shouted: "No, I can't get out!"

As he spoke, a thick dragon slapped with his tail, and Mo Ran quickly dodged, and then he almost passed by.

Just now, a black dragon suddenly flew over, its shape was larger than that of other dragons, and its dark scales were filled with golden light.

Mo Ran said in surprise: "Looking at the moon?!!"

Looking at the moon, he was a mute dragon, but he suddenly spoke and spoke. He shouted like a bell, "Catch my back, the heart-pulling willow is destroyed, and the golden pond is about to collapse, hurry up! I will take you out!"

There was no other choice at this time, and they could not care whether Wangyue was an enemy or a friend, and they all followed suit. Wangyue carried the four people in the stormy waves, and the thousands of dragons swam rapidly and ran across the water.

"Hurry up!"

As they finished speaking, the old dragon suddenly cracked the water and broke through the waves and soared out of the air. Mo Ran and the others felt that the thousand pounds were coming to their faces, and the water flowed like thousands of horses and troops stomped through their muscles and bones. They could not open their eyes or breathe. They held the dragon's back tightly with their hands and used all their strength to avoid being thrown into the lake again.

When they finally opened their eyes, they had already ridden the dragon into the clouds, on the top of the Jincheng Pool, on the top of Xuying Peak. The squirting water vapor turned into ten thousand fluorescence, and the huge dragon scales like mirror surface scattered. In an instant, the smoke and clouds were like mist, and the mist turned into rainbows. Looking at the moon, the heads were hissing, and the eight wildernesses changed color.

Mo Ran heard Xue Meng's voice coming from behind, and seemed excited and far away in the gust of wind. After all, he was really young and could easily forget his sorrow because of some things.

"My God! I'm flying! Flying in the dragon!"

Wangyue circled over Xuying Peak for several times, gradually narrowed her body, and slowly leaned over and landed. When he was staying by Jincheng Pool, he had already shrunk to less than half of the original, so that he would not crush too many rocks and plants around him. He curled up in his original place, quietly letting Mo Ran and the others get down the dragon's back.

They looked back at Jincheng Pool, and they saw that the ice melted, the waves surged, and the waves pushed the ice to pieces. At this time, the morning light was bright, and the east was white, and the sun shone brightly, flowing into Jincheng Pool, with a rugged wave.

Shi Mei suddenly said in surprise: "Look at the dragons in the pond!"

The tumbling and entangled dragons rose and fell with the surging waves, gradually stopped moving, and then collapsed one by one, turning into burnt ashes. One black chess piece after another rose from the lake and gathered in the air.

Mo Ran murmured: "Zhenlong chess game..."

The dragons, creatures, and even the heart-pinning willows in the entire pool were all captured by Zhenlong’s chess game. The scene conspiracy of the entire pool was actually a situation where someone hid in the dark!

Mo Ran suddenly shuddered.

He realized that something was wrong with the world after rebirth, and that something was ahead of time for no reason.

When he was sixteen years old in his previous life, there was absolutely no one who could play the Zhenlong chess game to this point. What is the origin of this fake Gou Chen?

Xue Meng said: "Looking at the moon!"

Mo Ran turned around and saw that Wang Yue was lying on his back and did not move. No black chess pieces appeared on his body, but he seemed very weak and his pupils were half-closed.

"You... are well done... Jin Chengchi of Gou Chen Shangshen would rather be destroyed than... they should not fall into the hands of evil people..."

After saying this, he suddenly emitted golden light. After the light dissipated, he turned into a smaller human.

"It's you?!"

Mo Ran and Xue Meng spoke almost at the same time.

Wangyue in front of him was the white-haired old dragon man who led them to the spiritual body of Shenwuku before. Wangyue raised his head, and there was a hint of shame in his eyes.

"It's me."

Xue Meng said in surprise: "You, why do you lead us to the Shenwuku? Are you trying to save us or harm us? If you harm us, why do you send us ashore? If you save us, what if we can't solve the catastrophe of Picking Hearts, then wouldn't it be..."

Wang Yue lowered his eyes and said hoarsely: "Sorry. It was just that the situation was in the process, so I had to do this. Fake Gou Chen himself lacked his cultivation and relied on the spiritual power of Picking Xinliu to perform the forbidden art. Only by cracking Picking Xinliu will his spell fail. I have no other way except to induce you to try."

Chu Wanning shook his head, walked over, waved his hand to cast spells for him to heal him.

Looking at the moon, he sighed: "The Taoist priest is kind, there is no need to be a kind heart. I am the same as everything in the pond. My life has come to life. I originally rely on a little spiritual energy from the pinched willow. Since it has fallen, I will not live long."

Chu Wanning: “…………”

Wangyue said: "Life and death are orderly, and you cannot force it. I can see that the nightmare of Jinchengchi pool is broken before returning to silence. I wish to be fulfilled. But the shocking changes in the pool affect you, and I feel so guilty."

Chu Wanning said: "It's okay... Do you know who the lie is and what is the intention?"

Wangyue said: "I don't know who he is. But his purpose should be to explore the three major forbidden techniques by obtaining the power of pinching willow."

Chu Wanning pondered: "The spiritual power required to perform the forbidden art is amazing. If the ancient tree spirits help him, it will be twice the result with half the effort."

"Yes, that person said the same thing. He said that the ancient spiritual body has great power, but it is extremely difficult to find. The only trace in the classics is the Picking Willow."

"In fact, he only appeared not long ago. Since he took control of Jin Chengchi, he has been practicing the two forbidden techniques of "rebirth" and "Zhenlong Chess Game" at the bottom of the lake with the power of Picking Heart Willow."

Wangyue said, sighing, her eyes a little blank and dull.

Mo Ran's heart skipped a beat.

Sure enough... Jin Chengchi's trip was completely different from his previous life. These variables only happened not long ago. What went wrong that changed everything?

"He was not capable enough to control the living creatures, so he killed a large number of creatures in the lake and tried to control the dead creatures. This time he did it, so in just a few days, he killed almost all the spirit beasts in the lake and made them into chess pieces. Only a few were left for experimentation. I am one of them."

Mo Ran asked, "So when I begged for the sword, you came to the surface. At that time, were you controlled by the fake Gou Chen?"

"No." Wangyue slowly closed his eyes, "He can manipulate others, fox demon, and pinxin willow, but he can't manipulate me. I am the spirit beast tamed by the Supreme God of Gou Chen when he created the world. A million years ago, when I was willing to drive the Supreme God, his curse was engraved on my reverse scales, and from then on, life and death are loyal to my master."

"and you……"

"It was a disguise," said Wangyue sighing. "Although the invader could not completely control me, the curse seal on Gou Chen has been around for millions of years, and it is not as effective as it was at that time. I still have part of my body/the body is affected by the fake Gou Chen-when you see me, the reason why I was mute is because my voice was completely controlled by that person and I could no longer listen to my own orders. Only when his spell failed, I could speak again."

Mo Ran asked: "Does that fake Gou Chen know you are pretending?"

"I don't think he knows." Wangyue looked at Mo Ran and said, "According to his plan, he will seize your spiritual core today and prolong the life of the Picking Heart Liu. But he did not expect that I would bring you back to the Shenguku again and destroy the Guliu. He was not wary of me."

Chu Wanning suddenly said, "He may not have been afraid of you, maybe he is willing but unable to do so."

"What do you say about Taoist priest?"

Chu Wanning said: "I vaguely feel that there is something strange about the fake Gou Chen Shanggong."
