Legend of the Demon Emperor of Kyushu

Chapter 135 Baicheng Frost (4)

Baichengshuang opened her eyes, the gloomy light and the musty smell were just like the scene when she woke up in the Wang Tomb ten years ago.

Lonely as death.

She still remembered that at that time, the queen mother arrived surrounded by guards, her expression panicked, but when she saw her, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.That smile made her feel both satisfied and dazzling.

This time...

"General!" Ye Ziqi was sitting cross-legged beside him, and shouted with concern, "Are you awake? How is your body?"

Baichengshuang saw that Ye Ziqi's eyes were dark, probably because he kept him awake all night.There is an animal skin blanket under the body, and the long light illuminates the wooden frame, which is the room for storing medicine boxes. This room is less dusty, and these arrangements are thoughtful.

"I'm fine." Baichengshuang replied.Then, he stared blankly for a while, then turned to Ye Ziqi and asked, "General Lian, Xue Yi and the others, are they really all dead?"

Ye Ziqi couldn't bear it, but he still replied: "Although General Lian jumped out of the big snake's mouth, but he is the rear for us, facing so many people by himself, General Xue is also..."

Baichengshuang was silent for a while, and said, "Go to another room to see if there is anything new."

Ye Ziqi retreated as he said, and when he reached the door, he still looked back worriedly. Baichengshuang was curling up his long snow-white legs, burying his head in his knees, and there was a faint sobbing sound.

The general is crying?

Ye Ziqi's heart twitched, thinking that at such a time, the general would definitely not want others to see him lose face, so he ran away quickly and wandered around in various rooms.

Unfortunately, nothing new has changed and nothing has been discovered.

In this underground palace, it seems that there is really no mechanism left that can destroy the demon world, and there is not even a way to break the seal of the door.

"However, the general's injury seems to be recovering well." Ye Ziqi said to Nei Haizhong.

The old demon head said: "The self-healing ability of the body cultivated by the divine weapon is naturally far superior to that of ordinary people, not to mention the Xuanbing body protection method. Unlike you brat, I have to work hard for you on the inside, using the spirit to protect the body." Threading the needle and stitching the thread and suturing the wound, it's almost healed."

"But didn't you say that if the Cold Soul Spear is on fire, it will also hurt her?"

"Han Po has good tolerance to ghost fires. The fire won't damage the body of the gun, so she won't be injured, but the constant pain from being burned is real. It's good for the spirit to be stunned by the pain once a day. The pressure is also great, let's see how long she can endure."

Ye Ziqi frowned tightly and stopped asking.

After a while, Baichengshuang came out, his expression was as calm as usual, no trace of tears could be seen.

The two checked the exits of the underground palace one by one, and finally walked north from the main hall to the main entrance of the underground palace.

The main entrance is also a bronze gate, which is more than three times wider than the side entrance that Ye Zikai passed through. It is also lit up with taotie patterns, and the animal face formed by the gleaming silver talisman is so huge that it is almost half as large. It's a huge tripod.

"This gate is the place where the spiritual power that seals the underground palace is the most concentrated." Baichengshuang said: "It is also the center of the seal. When you have to, you can try to break out from here."

Ye Ziqi said: "But I heard that if you use brute force to forcibly break the formation, the price of the magic formation will be very high. Even if we leave the underground palace, we haven't found a way to leave the demon world. If we are here, we will be severely injured , I’m afraid the road ahead will be even more difficult.”

Baichengshuang nodded: "Keep looking."

So, the two began to search for mechanisms that could destroy the seals of the demon world or the underground palace in each room of the Underworld Palace. They searched floor by inch for several hours, but found nothing.

When it finally arrived, Baichengshuang vaguely felt the pain intensified, and walked into the tomb where the medicine box was stored, and instructed Ye Ziqi: "You continue to search in other tombs, don't come in for now."

Ye Ziqi knew that she didn't want to be seen struggling, so she nodded in agreement.

The will-o'-the-wisp rose again on the giant cauldron, Baichengshuang was prepared this time, and held on for a while at first, but then couldn't help letting out a low cry.

Ye Ziqi leaned against the wall and sat outside the door of the tomb, hearing the groans inside getting louder, and then there was a continuous sound of hitting the wall and the wooden shelf, silently covering his ears.He couldn't imagine how painful it would be to push this proud woman to this point.

The groans continued for a long time, and his fingers also dug into his hair, pressing his head so hard that his head ached, as if such meaningless pain could make him feel better.

The old demon head is right, he is too weak, and he can't do anything about it.No matter how hard he tried to share some pain with Baichengshuang...it was useless.

However, it won't work if it continues like this.No one can live in the burning pain forever. If this continues, Baichengshuang will collapse sooner or later.Then how can he be worthy of those who died in Erwei?

There are so many soldiers who are good at fighting, they sacrificed their lives to pave the way for a 16-year-old recruit, just to believe that he can bring Princess Shuang back to Hanye City, how will he face this burden now...

No.

Ye Ziqi shook his head violently.

Then he gripped his chest tightly.

How could the tightening emotions in my chest be just because of my duty?
He raised his face slightly, his eyes were misty, and there was a question that he had been avoiding all along, and it filled his mind irresistibly in this step.

What is Baichengshuang to me?

He got the answer almost as soon as he thought about it.

It is "dream".

A "dream I thought I had given up on".

Ye Ziqi was not surprised by such a strange answer, but rather bitter.

He remembered what kind of life he had lived in the past ten years.

It is eating and playing games with parents at home, and practicing martial arts and talking and laughing with people you love on the top of the mountain.

But most of the time is in the Beishan Book Building, facing the books full of books alone, dreaming a dream.

Every day, I read the legendary epics of heroes, the happy world of knights, the romantic anecdotes of wits, and the weird stories of monsters...

So, from a long time ago, he began to look forward to some unusual things, even those absurd demon books, he could read with relish.

Imagine yourself to be the poet in the book, the hero with the sword and the armor, imagine that you are different from ordinary people, and you can have a life full of excitement...

Silently made up his mind that when he grows up, he must go out of the mountains and experience a wonderful and bizarre life that can be written in books.

And in such an experience, there should be a person who is as wonderful as the story.

As prosperous as the most prosperous big city, as romantic as the most romantic opera, you will meet one or a group of such people.

This is his dream, charming and hearty, grand and ordinary.

However, this dream is conditional.

On the day when he left the mountain town, Gu Feng and Ye Lingsha should be by his side.

Therefore, on the day when the fire broke out in the mountain town, his dream was burned along with it.

He no longer has a vision of happiness, no longer thinks about that dream, his reason tells him that what he should pursue in this life is not some shit dream, but only one other thing.

It's revenge!revenge!revenge!

The kingdom he once built in the study building and on the tip of his heart is now only a frozen ruin, a desert.Like the torn pages of a book.

However, he saw her.

Under Hanye City, when Ye Ziqi saw Baichengshuang for the first time, he knew in his heart that he had met the person in his dreams.

That alluring face that seemed to come out of a picture scroll was completely different from his mediocre previous life, a touch of brilliance that was enough to illuminate the book of his life.

Proud, beautiful, and powerful, this is the person he has always dreamed of in the past, hoping to appear in the trajectory of his life.

She strode on the causeway of Qiufeng Lake, tall and confident, like a ray of moonlight across the lake.

Like the moon in the sky, I occasionally point the Milky Way with a little cloud.

In the human eye, and the autumn water cut pupil god. (Note)
Every time I saw her, I felt like I was forcing myself to look directly at the dream I had given up on, the sweet dream that made him smile countless times in his drowsiness in the dim and calming smell of camphor and old books.

I couldn't help but want to avoid her, but when I saw her encounter difficulties, I was so anxious that I couldn't ignore her.

The only thing is to face her, and never want to be inferior from the beginning.So I refused to join the three guards to maintain the pitiful "equality" of the relationship between the two in my heart.

But you already lost one, right?Just getting close, you can't calm down, the closer you get, the more flustered you will be.

What is this feeling of heart pounding called?

The sound of the woman moaning gradually stopped.

Ye Ziqi walked into the tomb, carried Baichengshuang back onto the animal skin blanket,

The dark tomb, the cold light armor, such an environment, probably can't even dream of peace.

Ye Ziqi looked at Bai Chengshuang's tightly closed eyes, thinking——

In her dream, what will she dream of?
