The Spirit World

Chapter 53 Full Moon
Life is a continuous farewell, farewell to relatives, farewell to lovers, farewell to innocence, farewell to love, until finally farewell to one's own life.

Some people have plenty of time to devote themselves to this heart-wrenching farewell, while some people can only be left empty-handed, or even, cruelly, without enough time, and have to enjoy the loneliness of this world alone.

【Ten years ago】

【Xiyi Netherworld Sea】

[Hualing Sect] Xu Qing rode a black horse and galloped along the seashore. There was no news from the guardians now, so he was urgently transferred to the Demon Sealing Well in the Nether Sea. It was really due to the urgency of the situation. He and his wife Chen Mengyao were practicing in a nearby town and were also quickly transferred to the Nether Sea.

"Ah Meng, have you discovered anything?" He asked his wife through voice transmission. He only called her Ah Meng, not Mengyao, or anything else. He said that she was the fantasy of his life, and Ah Meng was everything to him. In fact, when they were in love, they were angry with each other and called her Ah Meng and Ah Qing in order to avoid being so intimate. Now he was used to it.

"There's nothing unusual at the moment. How about you?" Chen Mengyao stared at the calm black sea with some anxiety on her face, but the sea surface was almost the same as usual, just as dark, just as cloudy, just as full of sea monsters, and even just as terrifying and eerie.

The sea surface is no different today, but six guardians have lost contact.

"There's nothing unusual here, Ah Meng, let's not act rashly. It would be wise to wait for the main force to join us!" Xu Qingqing's handsome face showed some worry. He was certainly not afraid of those terrifying deep-sea monsters alone, but his wife was impatient. She might rush down to check the condition of the Demon Sealing Well. Now the most important thing for him was to stabilize her, because among the six missing people was her brother, Chen Zhou. As a guardian, there was only one possibility for him to go missing, and that was that he was in distress. Either the ferocious beast was infected with the devil's aura which was too strong to deal with, or the devil in the Demon Sealing Well broke the seal.

This time, Ah Meng answered calmly, saying that it would be best for the two of them to reunite first. She was not as cheerful as before. She must have been tormented by the uncertainty of her brother's life or death.

"Hold!" Xu Qing pulled the reins and the white horse galloped along the coastline. He and his wife were separated by a cliff, he was in the east and his wife was in the west. He was like a white lightning on the horrible black sand, stepping over the rocks, over the ravines, and over the tiny creatures living in this terrible Netherworld Sea. No matter how terrible this ocean is, there are signs of life to contend with it. His blue shirt was blown up by the wind and fluttered in the fishy sea breeze.

"Ah Qing! Over there! There are signs of fighting!" Chen Mengyao pointed in a direction on a black horse. It might have been discovered when she proposed to reunite. There was a steep slope there and it was extremely difficult to notice.

"Let's go and take a look!" Xu Qing stopped suddenly and turned around, heading in the direction Chen Mengyao pointed. Chen Mengyao pulled up the reins and followed. The two black and white horses stopped in front of the steep slope.

Xu Qing turned over and got off the horse. The traces of fighting were very obvious, like a hole left by a sword tip, with some black sea water pouring into the hole.

The probability of seawater rushing up such a steep slope is very small, but it is not ruled out that the battle between the two sides caused the seawater to roll. This black steep slope is really different from other places. There are layers of ice crystals, but these ice crystals are black all over, just like black. If it weren't for this piece of ice crystal that shook Chen Mengyao's eyes, I'm afraid she would have found it difficult.

This type of ice crystals is absolutely impossible to be produced in the Nether Sea. It can only be the result of some kind of battle.

"Ah Qing, what do you think?" Chen Mengyao looked at Xu Qing. Her blue clothes were only a perfect match for Xu Qing in this dark sea.

"We'd better wait for the main force to arrive. If it's a difficult opponent, we won't be able to get entangled with them." Xu Qing touched the ice crystal reflected by the dark sea water. Its color was transparent blue, and there was no way to tell that it was the work of the devil.

What kind of demonized beast would produce ice crystals? He looked at Chen Mengyao and could see the unwillingness and anxiety in her eyes. She held her sword tightly, hoping that Xu Qing would find clues soon.

[ang!] A terrible and strange cry came out from the bottom of the sea, like an extremely angry wail. The sound came from the seabed not far away, accompanied by huge gurgling bubbles that came to the surface of the sea, one after another, one after another. The feeling that there was some kind of monster suffocating on the bottom of the sea startled them and they immediately looked towards the place where the bubbles were still coming out.

【Gurgle gurgle gurgle】

【Gurgle gurgle gurgle】

It was as if a huge ferocious beast was about to emerge from the bottom of the sea.

"Ah Meng!" Xu Qing stood up and pulled out the sword. The hot blue breath burned on the sword body, and his whole body began to show signs of burning. This was the secret book of Hualing Sect, which could burn one's own spiritual power.

"Hmm!" A black lightning struck Chen Mengyao, and a sharp-looking man bent over and appeared behind her, like a giant several meters tall, with gorgeous red armor and majestic appearance, and a lightning-like pattern appeared between her eyebrows and ears. The blue eyes of the armored general overlapped with her eyes at this time, emitting a blue light.

They stood side by side on the icy cliff. The black horses' manes and tails had turned into blue flames. The dark cloudy sky suddenly thundered, and white lightning illuminated them. There was an unprecedented solemnity in their eyes.

[Gurgle gurgle gurgle] ​​The sound became louder and louder, and it was about to break out of the sea.

[puhua!] On the sea surface where bubbles were coming out, huge waves lifted up the black sea water. With a painful [ang!] sound, the huge beast finally appeared in front of the two. A huge killer whale came across, and the dark sea water was pressed up. White waves splashed to a height of 100 meters, and together with the black sea water, it looked like a city-like ink painting. The mottled scars on the killer whale's head were like medals of wild fighting. Thick cartilage tentacles covered with barbs were entangled on its body. Its eyes flashed a weak red light. More huge tentacles rushed out of the water and smashed the dark sea surface.

In just a moment, the killer whales fell down in a painful line, and the huge armored octopus jumped out with it, sticking tightly to the killer whale's body. The murderous barbs hooked the killer whale's flesh and blood. Green blood splashed and dripped into the dark sea, and instantly merged with the sea water. This dark sea was like a cemetery of ferocious beasts one after another, and they disappeared on the sea surface in an instant.

This scene was like a super long picture playing out in the eyes of the two people. The roar of the killer whale, the turbulent sea surface, the huge waves that were hundreds of meters high, the kind of earth-shaking and soul-stirring waves, was truly horrifying.

No way!
Xu Qing and Chen Mengyao looked at the sea surface, which had been calm for a long time, in horror and were speechless for a moment.

[bing!] A spinning ice cone pierced through them, and the icy aura on it revealed their unprecedented madness.

They jumped away quickly to avoid the global attack, but the icy breath still made them feel a little scared.

"Who is coming?" Chen Mengyao jumped over, and the ice cone rushed back to the bottom of the sea with a whoosh and disappeared.

Xu Qing stood in front of her, looking seriously at the sea which was almost calm.

Is that the enemy that attacked the six guardians?
He gritted his teeth. This was going to be an absolutely tough battle!! His entire body was already beginning to emit a burning flame of spiritual energy.

We must protect Ah Meng before the main force arrives.

[Maple Forest of Bailing City]

"eeeeaaa" His eyes were filled with green evil light, and the evil light spiritual power was burning into the sky. Xu Qing roared and slashed at the steward who was making a seal. The steward made a seal at an extremely fast speed, and the golden light was extremely dazzling under the moonlight: "Taoism·Kanglong!" With a hum, golden lines surrounded the steward's body. His originally hunched figure suddenly grew larger, as if he suddenly turned back into a young body. His bones grew into a strong man in an instant, and his special clothes suddenly expanded. A golden dragon danced in the sky, and suddenly struck the steward's body like a thunderbolt, turning into a parading little dragon standing on the steward's forehead. His body turned completely golden, and light overflowed from his golden eyes, like a god in the heavens.

"Ha!" The chief steward shouted and blocked the magic sword burning with spiritual power with his hand. He was about to hit Xu Qing's chest with his palm. Xu Qing caught it with his elbow and was knocked back several meters. The maple leaves blown by the crosswind rolled like huge waves, forming a red tornado.

The chief steward shouted and stepped out, his golden hand striking at Xu Qing with the force of thunder. His strong body was muscular, the sound of bones moving was heard, and the dragon on his forehead was emitting a terrifying golden light.

"keenaa" Xu Qing stepped forward, the evil light in his eyes flickering back and forth, the long sword in his right hand suddenly stopped in the air, a thunder-like explosion echoed in the maple forest, the sword energy that did not require any incantation was divided into three sections, and the green spiritual power around it cut forward like a force that crushed dry wood and rotten wood. The general manager raised his foot high and instantly defeated the sword energy, and then the palm strike was like a deep imprint, and a palm print was pressed on the bones of Xu Qing's chest through Xu Qing's tattered blue shirt, and then a fist hit Xu Qing's head fiercely, and green blood spurted out of Xu Qing's mouth. The green long sword instantly broke into several cracks and fell on the scattered maple leaves. Xu Qing flew out and hit the maple tree, and the maple leaves scattered and buried him.

Looking at the Prime Minister again, he used a feather fan in one hand to create a scorching whirlwind that repelled Chen Mengyao. He threw the feather fan into the air, and it spun rapidly. Golden Taoist patterns surrounded his body: "Tao gives birth to the Eight Diagrams. Xun Diagram! Open!" A cock crowed in the maple forest, and red Taoist patterns bloomed in the huge feather fan. Countless whirlwinds arose at the break of the Eight Diagrams formation, sweeping around Chen Mengyao, and gradually merged one by one into a huge tornado, trapping Chen Mengyao and the maple tree in the middle. Chen Mengyao's green eyes shone brightly, and she half-squatted with her sword tightly grasped, looking at the impenetrable tornado. Her psychic soul spread her feet firmly in the tornado. In the middle, he held the long sword tightly on his left shoulder, and the armor of his gorgeous clothes was cut by the tornado. In the tornado that began to appear in pieces, his eyes were the same as Chen Mengyao's. The green evil light was so strange and dazzling. The surrounding maple trees and maple leaves were uprooted by the tornado. They were like trapped beasts in a cage. The center of the tornado shrank smaller and smaller, and began to cut their bodies wantonly. The green blood was blown up by the tornado and dissipated all at once. The prime minister made a seal with both hands and shouted: "Xun Gua·Li!" The sky full of flames appeared on the tornado of the wind. What was even more terrifying was that the rolling flames only appeared on the inside. The prime minister's control over the Taoism was so terrifying. The cutting of the wind and the burning of the flames made Chen Mengyao look embarrassed, but the psychic soul was still firmly waiting for her action.

The fiery red light stood on the maple leaves, and under the white moonlight it looked like their original color.

"Ten thousand ghosts are psychic! Attach!" A green light appeared in the flame tornado formation, and then it disappeared in a flash. The psychic soul turned into a green light and penetrated Chen Mengyao's forehead. In an instant, her clothes turned into white light, and the mighty armor and clothes appeared. The strange long sword of the psychic soul appeared in her hand. She threw the long sword in the air: "keeang!" The green light bursting out of the long sword collided with the red light emitted by the flames of the fire tornado. The long sword rotated in the air, and a self-generated green evil light tornado was generated in the center of the fire tornado, like a long rainbow piercing the sun. Chen Mengyao jumped up, and the evil light tornado frantically drilled the wind and fire tornado from the inside out. The two huge energies collided, making a violent explosion!

boom!
The huge circular air wave shook the entire maple forest, the maple trees fell down, and the maple leaves swept across the entire maple forest like a whirlwind.

[Ten years ago, Xiyi Netherworld Sea! ]

"Ah Meng! Run!" Xu Qing rushed towards the terrifying blue shadow with a long sword burning with blue spiritual power. In the shadow, a blue ice crystal long sword was tilted at the lower right of the shadow, and the blue pearls were spinning rapidly. From the time they saw the shadow, it was too late. The blue shadow slowly walked towards him. Xu Qing's spiritual power burned like crazy. They had fought with the shadow before. The meridians in his right hand were cut off by ice crystals. He could only watch the spiritual power infuse and reduce the pain and consciousness a little bit.

Run! Ah Meng! Please!
He shouted in his heart. He originally thought that the giant octopus infected with evil spirit would be their opponent today. Who would have thought that there was a blue shadow standing on the octopus' body. It was difficult to deal with it with just one ice cone, so how could it be a match for its owner?
As long as you are still alive, it will be fine! Let me be a hero for once! You always say that I am too stupid and don't have the courage to impress you. Now, let me be your hero for once!
The blood at the corner of his mouth could not stop flowing, and his arms were covered in blood. He roared and rushed towards the slowly walking shadow. Her smiling face suddenly flashed before his eyes. When they first met, they all sat together, and he fell in love with her carefree face at first sight.

"No! Ah Qing!" Chen Mengyao spat out blood. Her majestic clothes and armor were already in tatters. The strange long sword of the psychic soul was also broken. She held her right hand, and ice crystals had already separated from the bright red blood.

The white horse came to her side and motioned her to leave, but how could she leave him alone at this time.

She roared, holding the broken sword in her hand, and ran on the black rocks that were already full of bright red. The dazzling red contrasted with the endless black. Everything began to seem so small, everything began to spin, and everything began to twist together. She fell to the ground and finally looked in that direction.

The blue sword pierced his heart, and his whole body was frozen in ice, like a swaying maple leaf, fluttering on the sword.

No! She shouted in her heart, no! She was confused in her heart, no! She burst into tears in her heart.

【aaahang】

A terrifying roar came from the sky, and a group of green shadows emerged from the sea like sharks and landed on the shore. She watched two shadows, one blue and one green, approach her.

"Lan Luo, the seal has been completed. Those tiny little fish can't see it!"

What seal? She could only vaguely hear this sentence. A green trident pierced her abdomen. She herself didn't feel the pain. What did this little pain matter?

I should have known that as a guardian, sacrifice is inevitable. She reached out to his body. She no longer cared what the two enemies would think. She just wanted to touch his face again.

Silly, you are really brave.

[Maple Forest of Bailing City]

"They are beyond saving..." the prime minister said softly, without much sorrow. At his age, he had already said goodbye to many people, his parents, his many relatives and friends, and even his lover.

Alas~ The chief steward wanted to sigh, but his mouth seemed to be hung with a jack and he couldn't open it. Only his heavy breathing could be heard clearly in the maple forest.

Xu Qing and Chen Mengyao glared at the evil light with anger. Their skin had completely peeled off, revealing only the violent and terrifying blood vessels. The green evil light penetrated every part of their bodies. They had lost their minds and were unable to use the skills of spiritual combat. All they had left was a hunger for blood and a desire to kill. In the final analysis, they were just bodies infected by evil spirits.

"Taoism: Seal the Demon!" The Prime Minister's voice revealed so much helplessness. A huge magic circle flew out from the golden feather fan in the air. Two monsters ran wildly under the magic circle, their panicked eyes wide open as if they were instinctively afraid of the thing that could suppress them.

It turns out that demons are also afraid of death.

Looking at them as afraid of death as ants, the prime minister suddenly remembered that he had met Chen Mengyao once.

She is carefree and not very popular with others, but she is very much in his heart. At such a young age, she has become a guardian with a huge mission. She wanted to give her some advice, but she smiled and said, "I don't tell fortunes. What's the point of telling fortunes? Just let it go."

What a good way to let things take their course! Prime Minister Xiao!

The golden light slowly dissipated in the maple forest, and the white moonlight shone here again. A breeze blew, and the red maple leaves began to dance with the wind. For the maple forest, the fight just now was just a few more leaves for the maple forest. They fluttered like rustling wind drums.

[Top of Bailing Mountain]

"Brother, why are you here!" Erica changed into specially made gorgeous clothes today. She can choose any clothes she wants in the Tianbu department and the treatment is very good. She even has a small white hairpin on her head, which shines under the red light. She is not yet of age, but she looks cute wearing it now.

"Brother, come with us to watch the moon! We finally encounter a full moon today, and it's also a bonfire party. It's not good for you to be alone! Hey, brother, are you listening?" Erica shook Chang Yufeng.

Chang Yufeng adjusted his breathing and held back the blood he had swallowed. He couldn't respond, so he could only nod.

He stood up and took Erica's hand. Erica walked in front and quietly spat the blood into the grass.

"Let's go! Brother, let me tell you! Sister Lin'er is wearing a super beautiful dress today!"

"Um……"

"Do you see what's on my head? It's so pretty!"

"Um……"

"The Ether Empire is so much fun! And, Zhao Zhao and Chun Xi lost the bet, so they are going to treat us to a big dinner at the foot of the mountain tomorrow, and..."

"Um……"

We say goodbye to people who are very important to us one after another, not because of loneliness, but because of love!
