The Husky and His White Cat Shizun - Chap 218
He lowered his head.
He suddenly lowered his head.
His blood almost flowed backwards, his brain was buzzing, he saw … No Return.
In his hand, was the Sword of a Hundred Battles, the Divine Martial No Return!
The pitch black Modao was placed horizontally in the night, the hilt was slender and hard, the style of the Tang Sword, without a sheath, very similar to a sword.
On the hilt of the saber, which was inlaid with a golden ring, there were two extremely muscular words:
No. Return.
Green fields and vermillion bridges, the past.
Another year, Jun No Return.
Mo Ran was as if he was struck by lightning, the light in his eyes was as thin as a needle, his face was paler than a dead person, more ferocious than a ghost.
“No … no … no … don’t!”
He was almost desperate, he threw No Return to the ground, but the Divine Martial was connected to his heart, it automatically returned to his waist.
“No!” Mo Ran was hysterical, he tried to summon the ghost, he wanted the red willow vine, he summoned it again and again, but the ghost did not come.
There was no ghost, there was no vine whip.
Only No Return accompanied him.
“Do you believe it now?” The haunting shadow gathered again. This time, it gathered faster than before. Soon, it had a shape. Four limbs, a waist, a head …
Mo Ran refused to believe it.
He refused to believe it.
He no longer cared about the black smoke, he ran to the end of the light.
This was the illusion set up by Xu Shuanglin … this was just an illusion …
Go to the place where the light was, and everything would be over.
He ran madly in that direction, he ran madly.
But once again, his arm was held tightly.
Mo Ran did not want to care about it anymore, he shook it off, he shouted angrily, “Go away! Go away! What is real? Do you know what is real better than me? I know what is real! He treated me well, it is real! He did not die, it is real! How can the things that he and I have been through all these years be fake?! Jincheng Pond, Peach Blossom Origin, Ghost World, Colorful Butterfly Town, we married — ”
That voice gently interrupted him, almost sighing, “Mo Ran, I’m the one who married you. How can you not remember?”
He suddenly turned his head around and saw that the black fog had already condensed into a form. A face was as beautiful as a lotus flower, extremely charming. It was truly a peerless beauty in the world. She gently snuggled up to him. She wore a head full of pearls and jade hairpins, and draped in the bright red robes that she wore when she got married.
“Rising Sun Peak, I can’t walk anymore. You carried me up. You told me not to call you Your Majesty, but from now on, I will only call you Mo Ran. Have you forgotten? ”
Her smile was as gentle as a blade of grass, but the strength in her hands was shockingly great.
Mo Ran struggled to break free from her grip. This was definitely not Song Qiutong. His wrist was already bruised. He continued to move forward, forward … the white light was getting closer and closer …
He seemed to know that it was the way out.
Go over there … I just need to go over there …
He heard Song Qiutong laughing behind him, “Your Majesty, where are you going? Chu Wanning is already dead. He was killed by you. Do you really want to go over there? ”
“… …”
“Over there is … …”
He did not hear clearly. He broke free from the restraints of those phantoms and malicious spirits. He ran wildly, throwing her voice to the back of his mind. The pure white light in front of him grew brighter and brighter, bigger and bigger. He was like a person who was about to drown at the bottom of the sea. He used all his strength to push his legs and swim towards the shaking and shattered light.
Suddenly!
He suddenly plunged into the magnificent white light, and the darkness disappeared.
He gasped for breath, his legs weak. He could not stop to catch his breath, like a person who had just emerged from the water. He greedily breathed in. He could not adapt to such a strong light for a while. He raised his arm to block his eyes. After a while, he heard the chirping of birds and smelled the faint fragrance of Xifu’s begonia.
He slowly opened his eyes.
… … Where was he?
The first thing he saw was a lush begonia tree. The branches were bright red, like the multicolored light of a brocade.
He was not in the ancestral heavenly palace of the Confucian Wind Sect.
Was this illusion … still not over?
But his heart was gradually falling apart. He suddenly was not so sure about who he was. Where was a dream? Where was reality?
He sat up. A begonia flower that had fallen on the tip of his nose drifted to his knees.
… … Sit up?
Only then did he realize that he had been lying down, as if he had just finished a nightmare. He looked around. He was in front of the Skysplit Tower, the pinnacle of life and death. As for himself, he was sitting in a pitch-black coffin with its door open.
In an instant, Mo Ran felt as if his fingertips were cold.
He was in a daze for a while. Then he suddenly got up and staggered out of the coffin. He saw a tablet in front of the coffin. There was not a single word on it. Instead, there was a bowl of wontons and several plates of stir-fried food, all of which were his favorite food. He stared at those things. He stared at the coffin.
No … …
No.
The nightmare was not over.
He fell into an even deeper nightmare. Or, was he actually awake now?
Could it be that what the black shadow said was true?
Did he really just take poison, lie down in front of the Tower of Babel, and have a very long dream? Everything in the dream was … …
He did not dare to continue thinking. He got up like crazy and ran straight to the South Peak, the peak of life and death.
But it was different from what he remembered before he died. He remembered that he had clearly told everyone to disperse, but when he was halfway through running, a group of palace servants rushed out. The one in the lead was Elder Liu, who had served him for many years. Elder Liu was holding a box, and his wrinkled face was full of joy. “Your Majesty, the elixir of rebirth has been found! This is the elixir of rebirth! ”
He suddenly stopped in his tracks.
Everyone knelt down to congratulate him. Elder Liu also knelt down. A pair of withered hands held up the brocade box. He trembled as he handed it to Mo Ran. He said hoarsely, “The elixir of rebirth. Your Majesty has been looking for the elixir of rebirth. Finally, the God has been moved. This is it … …”
Mo Ran said in a daze, “No … … Didn’t I, didn’t I chase you all down the mountain?”
The servants’ faces were ashen. They kept kowtowing. Elder Liu was also extremely frightened. “Your Majesty, why did you chase us away? But where has this old servant failed to serve you? I — — ”
“What about the Ten Great Sects?”
Elder Liu was confused. He looked up blankly. “What Ten Great Sects? Your Majesty, what happened to you? ”
Mo Ran knew that he could not explain clearly, so he pulled him to the Tower of Babel. As soon as he came out of the forest, he pointed to the tomb in front of the tower. “Look over there. I just slept there. I — —”
He turned his head, but found that his coffin and tomb were gone.
There were only two lonely tombs of the Empress and the Concubine. On top of them were his crooked words.
Mo Ran, “… …”
Elder Liu was worried. “Your Majesty, what happened to you?”
“I — —” Mo Ran stared at the two tombs in a daze. His consciousness was already very chaotic. For a moment, he could clearly feel that everything was fake. But in the next moment, he felt that reality and illusion were intertwined. He could not tell where he was or what year it was.
Elder Liu sighed and said, “Your Majesty is too worried. Are you dreaming?”
“It’s not a dream … …” Mo Ran muttered, but then he shook his head. His face was pale. “No, of course it’s a dream … …” He said incoherently for a long time. Then he suddenly turned his face and stared at Elder Liu. “Then where’s the medicine for rebirth?”
Elder Liu then presented the box.
He didn’t take the box. Instead, he opened it directly. Inside, there was a pill as white as jade, exuding a gentle luster.
He trembled as he picked it up. His Adam’s apple bobbed, and then he walked in the direction of the Red Lotus Pavilion.
But Elder Liu suddenly pulled him back. Mo Ran suddenly turned his head. His nerves were already stretched to the limit. He was about to snap. He asked, “What’s wrong?”
Elder Liu, who was still in a good mood, suddenly had a gloomy expression. His eyes flashed with a strange light. He said gloomily, “Your Majesty, did you go in the wrong direction?”
“What do you mean by going in the wrong direction … …”
“Where Your Majesty should go is the Soul Summoning Platform.” Elder Liu said slowly. Those servants also slowly surrounded Mo Ran. They slowly closed in. “Your Majesty, all this time, haven’t you been thinking about reviving your Senior Martial Brother, Shi Mingjing?”
“I — —”
“Now that the elixir of rebirth is in your hands, why did Your Majesty abandon the Soul Summoning Platform and run to the Red Lotus Pavilion?” Elder Liu said faintly. “For the sake of this method of rebirth, Your Majesty killed millions of people, trampled on the Confucian Wind Sect, and caused the world to be filled with mourning and rivers of blood. Could it be that after doing all this, Your Majesty actually wants to go against your original intentions and take this elixir into the mouth of another person?”
Mo Ran’s heart was in a mess. He tightly gripped the elixir. He said, “You don’t understand.”
“Your Majesty must go to the Soul Summoning Platform. You must not go to the Red Lotus Pavilion.” Everyone’s eyes flashed with a terrifying light. They surrounded him and repeated, “Your Majesty must go to the Soul Summoning Platform. You must not go to the Red Lotus Pavilion!”
Mo Ran firmly protected the elixir. His face was pale. He said, “All of you, get out of my way.”
“Your Majesty must go to the Soul Summoning Platform — —”
“Get out of my way!”
He unsheathed the sword and gripped the ice-cold hilt. Those people seemed to shudder, and then their eyes became as long and narrow as snakes. Each and every one of them revealed a twisted smile.
“You will suffer retribution — —”
“What do you think you can change?”
“You don’t keep your word.”
“You’re fickle.”
“Heh, how can this kind of heartless person be worthy of the elixir.”
“Take it back! Take it back! ”
Mo Ran protected the elixir. He fiercely cut open a bloody path and ran towards the South Peak, the peak of life and death. Whether this was a dream or reality, he knew that Chu Wanning was there — — Whether he was alive or dead, he had to go there. He had to be by Chu Wanning’s side. Only then could he feel at ease.
He ran into the barrier of the Red Lotus Pavilion.
Elder Liu and the others were blocked outside the barrier.
He turned around and glanced at them. Then he closed the jade bamboo door. He didn’t want to see anyone else. This was the Red Lotus Pavilion. He was the only one here, and … — —
“Master?”
His eyes widened in shock. He saw that Chu Wanning was standing under a begonia tree. His hair was tied up in a high ponytail and he wore metal gloves. His expression was focused on adjusting a Night Patrol God Mech that was almost completed. The wind rose. Light pink flower petals rustled and fell. They fell like the first snowflakes on the stairs and the table. They were gentle like ripples.
Mo Ran’s eyes were wet and red. In an instant, he was choked with sobs.
“Master … — —”
Chu Wanning heard his voice and raised his head. Because he was busy, he was still biting on a small file. When he saw Mo Ran, he was slightly surprised. He put down the file and then straightened up. He nodded at him. “Why are you here?”
