Chapter Thirty-Nine: Rest In Peace
Li Xi’s funeral was very simple.
Green mountains and green waters surround a simple tomb. The place where the ghost cryes is rarely pure outside the forest is his burial. Li Xi's natal magic weapon, Tianxiang Cauldron, stands in front of the tombstone, and the endless cooking fires are burning under the cauldron. The boiling broth in the cauldron will never dry up. The steam is filled with mist, and it is faintly like the smiling face of a fat man.
Next to Li Xi's tomb, Wang Donghua and Chen Yiyin's tomb stood in sequence according to the order of his brothers.
Leaded by Ouyang Shang, the spiritual sword monks present sang softly the song of sending Taoism to bid farewell to fellow Taoists who were unfortunately leaving first on the way to the immortal path.
The Lingjian Sect never emphasizes red tape, and sadness and anger are hidden in the hearts with the song. After the song, Ouyang Shang led a team to set up a protective formation to drive out wild animals and poisonous insects, and keep the place safe. Then the group continued on the journey.
Along the way, no one said anything more about Li Xi's death, because there is no need to cause trouble at this time. Moreover, there is no one in the golden generation who is unreasonable and does not distinguish between right and wrong.
Wang Lu killed Li Xi with the Chaos Breaking Heaven Sword Aura, causing his body and spirit to be destroyed. His bold and cruel methods are chilling. He is not sympathetic to his fellow disciples, and it seems to be easy to cause criticism. But at that time, how could he tolerate the kindness of a woman? Moreover, Li Xi threw the rotten bones and poisonous bones into the soup, and none of the elite soldiers present noticed it. If Wang Lu had not received special training, that pot of broth might have caused serious casualties.
At that time, Li Xi was no longer a well-known genius fat chef. Perhaps he was just a walking corpse at that time. Who would have changed... the most correct way to make him truly rest in peace.
What's more, the sword energy that Wang Lu burst out with all his strength not only buried Li Xi, but also severely damaged the soul attached to it... The shrill wailing in the distance shocked millions of birds, and it was heard clearly from afar.
Wang Lu's Chaos Breaking Heaven Sword Qi can be called an immortal-level sword Qi. It's so powerful that it is not as clear as the sword heart. Unfortunately, it is limited to its own realm and cannot be solved once and for all. Perhaps it can guarantee a period of peace in a short time, but no one can say that in the future.
There are too many problems that need to be solved, such as... When was Li Xi controlled? The group always gathered together. Even if they set up camps and Li Xi ran a little farther away to capture prey, they always had the spiritual sense of their brothers scanning them, and there was almost no gap.
It was not because they were worried about Li Xi, but because they were in a dangerous place and were threatened by strong enemies. They had to take care of each other at all times to ensure safety. Unfortunately, there was still something wrong with such cautious methods, and they could not restore the truth until now, which made everyone's hearts cast a shadow.
What should we do next? Even if we have the courage to cut off our arm and give up everything and return to the mountain gate, it will take at least six or seven days to return from the Ghost Crying Forest to Lingjian Mountain. It is hard to imagine that the devil will sit idly, and how many spiritual sword disciples will be harmed by him during this period?
"Junior Brother Wang Lu, do you have any ideas?"
On the way, Ouyang Shang's soul sent a voice and asked quietly. The content was not disclosed, because he was worried that Wang Lu had actually had an answer, but that answer might destroy others' confidence.
Wang Lu replied: "It's a pity that it's not... I'm not hiding anything. No matter how cruel the truth is, it's better than not knowing the truth. But... I don't remember that the elders taught me back then that the demons also have this kind of means to control puppets."
"According to your opinion, the elders learned the experience and lessons after great sacrifices 丨Excerpted various ways of dealing with it, and they could not master all the methods of the demons, and..."
Wang Lu smiled bitterly and said, "And the historical line has undergone major changes, and it is natural to see new situations. However, if you fight with such an opponent, you may face an extremely cruel situation in the next period of time.
Because it is impossible to judge how the opponent controls the puppet, it is impossible to prevent and no prediction. Fatty Li Xi's incident will never be the last time, and the opponent will only become more cunning.
This time, the poisoning was discovered by Wang Lu because the Red Blood Poison, a secret demon medicine that should not have been known to humans, happened to be within Wang Lu's recognition range, but what about the next time? Even Elder Lu Li never said that he could identify all the demon poisons, and Wang Lu was certainly not sure.
Moreover, poisoning is small. As long as the opponent is not stupid, you can easily think of a more effective method: trauma between brothers and feet.
He can control Li Xi to poison the cauldron and turn against him after being seen through, so of course he can also control other people, pretending to be nothing unusual on the surface, and then suddenly hurt people... Even if he doesn't succeed, he will severely damage the trust relationship between the disciples of the Spirit Sword.
The golden generation is as close as brothers and feet, and the hearts of the hearts of each other, and decades of tacit understanding are indestructible. But that is based on the knowledge of each other. If you can't even determine whether the other person is a real person, tacit understanding and trust will be empty words.
"And there is a more fatal problem here." Ouyang Shang sighed bitterly.
Wang Lu nodded: "When he controlled Li Xi... until I finally noticed the red blood poison in the bowl, I didn't even see any clues before."
"So too," said Ouyang Shang. "The disguise is seamless, just like a real person, and even the most subtle details are imitated flawlessly. This only shows that he has fully grasped Li Xi's personality and... memory."
Wang Lu said: "You golden generation is as close as brothers and sisters. After decades of practice, you have been honest and honest with each other. There are almost no secrets. So... as long as he controls one person, he can catch everyone else according to the clues.
Ouyang Shang smiled bitterly.
"So, did the elders of the sect have not considered this issue when they first cultivated you? It would be fine if you practice in a shallow way. When you achieve something in the future and each of them is in charge of the land of the Spirit Sword Sect... As long as one of them is used by someone to search souls, the entire sect will be ruined, right?"
Ouyang Shang did not answer, but instead shifted the topic: "How are the two junior brothers who came back to the mountain to report the news now?"
"Think about it, since that opponent has been pestering Guihuilin for a while, there should be no time to take care of other aspects, so they have a great chance to successfully return to the mountain gate. But..."
Ouyang Shang said: "But it's hard to imagine that the opponent will expose such a big flaw, right... Unfortunately, now we can only take one step."
"By the way, I suddenly thought of something just now." Wang Lu said, shook his head but didn't continue, "I hope it won't be that bad."
Ouyang Shang glanced at him. With Wang Lu's temperament, he rarely said anything, which made him so afraid... I'm afraid that that matter is really not easy to resort to.
And I could guess that thing, indeed... I hope it won't be that bad.
Later generations of the Lingjian Sect once had a Wang Wu law, which was the content: As long as Wang Wu has the possibility of losing moral integrity, no matter how small and incredible the possibility is... she will definitely throw it to you.
By the same token, as long as things are still likely to go bad, no matter how reluctant you are, you have to face it.
Things that Wang Lu and Ouyang Shang were worried about appeared a day later.
"snort"
Wang Wu's muffled groan broke the silence of the team as they marched.
The group was flying quietly on a big river, with demons dancing in the river, which was a famous dangerous place nearby, but it was also a shortcut to return to Fuquan.
A few days ago, Ouyang Shang, Wang Lu and Wang Wu crossed this big river and rushed from the shortcut to Guixue Forest. As long as the river is more than a hundred feet away from the river and is quiet and silent, it will not disturb the powerful monsters at the bottom of the river.
This time, the group was explained in every way before crossing the river. They were also cautious during the crossing. Seeing that the road was halfway through, a sudden change occurred.
Ouyang Shang, the leader of the team, immediately turned around, but saw that Wang Lu had already come to Wang Wu before him. He supported the Kunshan Sword in his right hand to protect her firmly, and the chaotic sword energy in his left hand lingers in his fingertips.
With Wang Lu's character, he should not have the steps to be ready to go. Once the enemy attack was confirmed, the sword energy would burst out without any mercy, but at this time he had to bear it.
Because the person who attacked Wang Wu was actually Liu Xian
Even Wang Lu had not expected this. He suspected that everyone in the team had not spent too much effort on Liu Xian. Because he was a survivor of that year and an elder of the Spirit Sword Sect in real history, his strength was unfathomable... Although it was Liu Xian for 150 years, Wang Lu couldn't help but have preconceived ideas in his heart.
God knows how the opponent grasped this flaw, controlled Liu Xian, and shot a sharp sword against Wang Wu. If Wang Lu had not finally listed Wang Wu as the key guardian, the sword would have caused him to die.
"...If the ten people in the Sword Hall today are all unfair to be created in the Golden Generation back then? Master, you are too modest. With your sword, even if you are not considered the top in the Golden Generation, your level is certain."
Wang Lu looked at Liu Xian in front of him with some complexity. He really didn't expect it would be you... If you want to blame him, just blame the damn historical line.
Thinking of this, Wang Lu's chaotic sword energy was about to break out of his body without hesitation. But at this moment, Liu Xian suddenly looked stunned and looked confused.
"I...what's wrong with me?"
Wang Lu's sword energy suddenly subsided: "Liu Xian?"
Liu Xian shook his head vigorously: "Just... I seemed to be in a daze, what happened?"
Then he saw Wang Lu's sword surround, and Wang Wu, who was silenced by Wang Lu's side, exploding his arm wound.
Although Liu Xian was not a stunning talent, he was not a fool. He immediately realized what had happened.
"...Yes, did I do it? I was taken over by the enemy just now and took action against Junior Sister Wang Wu?"
Everyone around him surrounded him and stared at Liu Xian with complex eyes. He had suspicion, sympathy... and so on.
Wang Lu sighed in his heart: the opponent really thought of this trick: take over the body, then let it go, leave a mess, and see how they solve it.
Faced with a fellow disciple who has had a criminal record, can the trust relationship of the golden generation still be maintained?
Can everyone still trust Liu Xian without reservation? Who can guarantee that his current innocent posture is not a disguise? After all, after the opponent takes over the body, he can perfectly reproduce the original owner's every move.
If you kill Liu Xian without hesitation, everyone present will be able to face those eyes that are still confused and innocent? Are you not worried about the demons causing trouble at midnight?
This is simply the most clever way to attack the mind...
"Wang Lu...Senior Brother." Liu Xian's voice trembled slightly, "I'm sorry..."
Then, he raised the sword in his hand, and the blade was still stained with blood on Wang Wu's arm, but at this time it was aimed at his own throat.
Obviously, Liu Xian has figured out this question. He has now become a burden and burden in the team, so he has also shown the courage he deserves as a golden generation and is ready to die.
But the next moment, Wang Lu took action, and the Chaos Breaking Heaven Sword Qi suddenly thrust out from his fingertips.
