In the Clouds: Mulan Line

Chapter 10
when!
Hua Mulan suddenly looked up when the huge force of the weapons clashing was heard, and she was startled for a moment.

The hands-on, is... a sculpture?
Standing in front of her was a tall, jade-like man.He is wearing an armor made of jade pieces, and even the long sword in his hand is made of jade, but it is not as fragile as jade, but looks very sharp.No skin was exposed on the whole body, only a pair of eyes were exposed.

When he struck, there was no sound at all, and there was no wave of killing intent, even though he aimed at Hua Mulan's fragile neck.

He's like an unfeeling, unfeeling sculpture, except for... his eyes.

Although his eyes were extremely cold, they were indeed the eyes of a living person.

Hua Mulan was puzzled, what's going on?Is the kind of jade mentioned earlier that has life, or is a living person put into the jade?
But no matter what it is, this weird man, his strength...is very strong!
It was Baili Shouyue who let out a low cry: "Captain! Be careful, this is Yuwei!"

"Yu Wei?"

At this moment, the man in front of him made another move.

Violent power, attack without any warning, extremely exquisite swordsmanship!
Hua Mulan has the experience of fighting countless times, but the man in front of her is not far behind.Every time he makes a sword, there is nothing fancy about it, the simplest sword technique, the most direct killing move, the reaction is extremely sensitive, and the most terrifying thing is that his eyes are almost devoid of anything except a little human-like brilliance from the beginning to the end. fluctuation.

It looks like a heartless and ruthless, extremely sophisticated killing machine.

Hua Mulan fell into a hard fight almost instantly. The environment here is very complicated. A large number of jade carvings restrict Hua Mulan's movements, but at the same time, this man is here like a fish in water!
And at the same time that Hua Mulan was fighting with each other, a very cold feeling suddenly came from behind without a sound, and Hua Mulan's whole body tensed up instantly.Danger!Hua Mulan had to react subconsciously, but it was impossible to block two weird men at the same time. Hua Mulan would definitely be injured, but exchanging injuries for injuries was nothing, as long as she tried her best to avoid getting hurt...

But at this moment, the sound of the trigger being pulled rang in Hua Mulan's ear.

It's Baili keeping the promise!
At this moment, Hua Mulan's heart seemed to be beating, and her previous fighting instinct showed a trace of hesitation at this moment.

In the past, Hua Mulan always rushed to the forefront. She didn't understand what her foster father said about protection, and what the real Great Wall Guards were, but she also had something she could do, which was to rush to the forefront.As long as she is at the forefront, she is protecting the people behind her, so her battle will always be a one-person battle.

But now she wavered a little... In the end, Hua Mulan decided to follow her heart.She restrained her fighting instinct and chose... to leave her back alone!
Bang!
There was a huge muffled sound, and another weird man "sculpture" with only his eyes exposed appeared. The sword in his hand exploded with brilliant energy the moment it collided with the energy bullet, and his attack was also blocked by this A bullet stopped.

At this moment, Hua Mulan suddenly felt that the weight on her shoulders was different again.

"Captain, this is Jade Guard. Jade Guard usually handles affairs on behalf of Mage Jade. At the same time, they are also Mage Jade's exclusive guards. In fact, Jade Guard is equivalent to Mage Jade's personal property. It can be said that they have no personal feelings at all. "Baili Shouyue said quickly, "Jade guards are all born in Yucheng, and have received rigorous training from the Secret Jade Society since childhood. Among them, only those who have passed the test will be selected by the Jade Master as Jade Guards."

Yuwei... So, they are still alive?Hua Mulan frowned slightly, she had no emotion, she was a pure killing machine, even her body seemed to have undergone some kind of modification, and it belonged to another person's private property...

The style of doing things of the Secret Jade Society can be seen.

Although there is no further contact with Miyu yet, Hua Mulan already feels displeased.

"One for each person!" Hua Mulan said.

The two didn't say any more, but at the same time, they fought with Yuwei again.

During the battle, the two gradually became more and more tacit, and no matter how tireless Yuwei behaved, he was not really inhuman after all. Hua Mulan simply switched to a big sword. Some jade carvings were damaged and fell on Yuwei's body, causing even a crack in their jade armor.

Hua Mulan was a little restrained before, but now she doesn't care at all.So what if it is destroyed, anyway, she doesn't like this secret jade society.

And Baili Shouyue seems to move lightly and elusively, but every time he pulls the trigger, the threat of firepower is also terrible. The gorgeous energy beam suddenly forms a light in the air, leaving a hole everywhere it passes. The quiet and empty hall full of mystery is filled with the warm atmosphere of explosions and jade fragments flying around.

Just when Hua Mulan slammed into Yuwei with a fierce sword wind again, another voice finally came from the hall: "Two distinguished guests."

hum!
Hua Mulan's sword stopped less than a palm away from Yuwei. Yuwei seemed to have noticed someone's arrival earlier than Hua Mulan, and this may be a special connection within the Secret Jade Society...

So facing Hua Mulan's attack, he stopped resisting one breath earlier, and at this time, facing Jianfeng who was close in front of him, he didn't make any changes in his eyes, as if it was not him who was directly hit by Hua Mulan if he didn't stop in time .

Hua Mulan secretly thought that she was a lunatic, and she was even more vigilant towards that mystic.

The next moment, the two jade guards saluted with one hand at the same time, took a step back, stood motionless among the sculptures, and merged with the surrounding sculptures again.But this time after gaining experience, Hua Mulan and Baili kept the promise and looked at the hall again, and suddenly found that there were more Yuwei.

No wonder those adventurers would die here, this place is really...

But what Hua Mulan and Baili kept paying more attention to was the person who made the sound just now. Hua Mulan followed the sound and saw a girl in a long robe and a veil walking over.

She showed a pair of extremely beautiful eyebrows and eyes, with a kind of ethereal temperament, almost no accessories could be seen on her body, and her bare feet stepped directly on the ground.

The girl looked straight at Hua Mulan and Baili Shouyi with her calm and soft gaze, then bent down and saluted, "You two distinguished guests, please come with me."

She didn't seem to have noticed the mess all over the floor. After she finished speaking, she turned sideways quietly and made a gesture of please.

Hua Mulan and Baili Shouyue glanced at each other, then calmly followed.

The girl led Hua Mulan and Baili Shouyue in front without a sound, her bare feet made no sound on the jade floor, her soft robes hung down on the ground, her walking speed was light and fast.

Soon she came to a sculpture, which was taller than ordinary people, but when she saw those eyes, Hua Mulan realized that it was also a jade guard.Yuwei, who was extremely tall and burly, was even wider than the two of them. When he walked obediently to the side, he even revealed a stairway behind him.

"Please." The girl said softly, and then stepped into the stairs first.

Hua Mulan and Baili Shouyue also entered. This is a staircase that can only be passed by one person. The front, back, left, and right are all pure jade, without any gorgeous carvings, and it looks like a return to nature.

Gradually, Hua Mulan found that what she saw in front of her eyes became more and more emerald green, the jade gradually changed from white to green, and then turned into an extremely moist emerald green, and finally even showed a hint of black in places where there was no sunlight.It was a very dark green.

Judging from the jade mage injecting life energy to transform such a jade of life, the jade mage here has transformed a lot...

The girl's footsteps never stopped. Walking in such a place, it is easy for people to ignore how many floors they have gone up, but this is not a problem for Hua Mulan and Baili to keep their promises.Based on the Jade Pagoda they saw outside, Hua Mulan and Baili Shouyue could tell that the girl was indeed taking them to the top floor.

Finally, when the three of Hua Mulan stepped onto the last step, a very elegant room suddenly appeared in front of them, and the girl stopped here and said, "Two honored guests, Lord Jade Master is waiting for you two. "

After finishing speaking, she lowered her head, as if she regarded herself as a jade sculpture.

At first glance, Hua Mulan only saw emerald green eyes, and at the same time, the strong breath of life and active energy filled the place, making people feel comfortable and even breathing freely from every pore.

However, the more relaxed she feels, the more vigilant Hua Mulan becomes.

The Jade Master was nowhere to be seen, so he was hiding his head and showing his tail.

Seeing that the girl didn't speak anymore, and Master Yu couldn't see anyone, Hua Mulan just hesitated for a moment, then strode into the house.

She wanted to see what tricks the Jade Mage hadn't come up with.

Baili Shouyue followed closely behind, looking very calm, but his trembling wolf ears also revealed his vigilance.

The space inside the Jade Pagoda is bigger than what you can see from the outside. The rooms here seem to be connected one by one, but they all have only one color, which is emerald green.There are hardly any extra decorations to be seen, it is very simple and natural, and it does not seem to match the huge wealth owned by the Secret Jade Society.

But then Hua Mulan raised her eyebrows, it was all an illusion, this is so simple, the Jade City Jade here alone is already priceless, as expected, the most high-end luxury only needs a simple expression.

Until reaching the largest room, Hua Mulan still did not see Master Jade, which made Hua Mulan's vigilance towards Master Yu reached the highest level.

However, at this moment, a voice as gentle as jade, which made people feel very comfortable and relaxed suddenly sounded: "You two distinguished guests, don't be so nervous."

Hua Mulan's heart shrank, and she almost drew her sword.

She scanned the room quickly and found the speaker.To say it is a figure, it is better to say that he has been connected with Yuchengyu beside him, not only that, he even looks more like a jade carving than Yuwei.

It was precisely because his aura was almost identical to Yuchengyu's that neither Hua Mulan nor Baili Shouyue could notice him immediately.But after noticing his presence, it was difficult to take his eyes off him immediately.

There is not a single bit of decoration on the white robe, and the body wrapped in the white robe seems to be very weak, with long white hair hanging down to the ankles, even the eyelashes are pure white, shining faintly.

And the exposed skin is like fine white jade, delicate and white, exuding a cold jade luster.

"Good day, both of you." Master Jade said again, his eyes that had almost completely turned into jade looked at Hua Mulan with a strange luster, and there seemed to be no malice in his eyes, "Life is endless, Incomparably tenacious... Really powerful vitality..."

However, Hua Mulan didn't react too much. The Jade Master seemed to know why Hua Mulan was so vigilant, but he didn't seem to care, just smiled gently, but his facial features seemed to be carved out of jade Smiling, which is a simple expression for ordinary people, has a slight sense of disobedience on his face. It seems that it is difficult for him to make such an expression...

Then, he looked at Baili Shouyan again.Baili Shouyue's perception was more acute, almost instantly, he felt that Master Yu's strange eyes seemed to see something more inner through his body, it was a kind of moistening and silent penetrating feeling, Just like jade, it looks soft and has no edges...

Is it magic power?
Master Yu's special voice echoed in the empty hall: "The very sensitive hybrid demon has chosen the right path of martial arts...I feel that you are very self-blaming and eager...Young people should be more young. Be patient, and what you desire may soon come true."

Baili Shouyue was startled, and then his eyes calmed down, isolating the feeling of being penetrated out of his body, but he just nodded slightly to Mage Yu's words, and didn't express anything else.

Being proficient in life energy, it is natural for Master Yu to be able to perceive other people's emotions more keenly...

At this time, Master Yu took the initiative to talk about himself: "Master Yu is a user of the jade touch technique, and the jade transformation of the body is a symbol of using the jade touch technique. Jade transformation is not a bad thing, on the contrary, jade transformation is a The glory of the Jade Master is a symbol of every time you perform a little jade technique. Every time you perform a little jade technique, it is a ritual of the passing and blooming of life force. Life energy flows from our fingertips, but it brings life to the jade. "

"You have already met Jade Guards. For them, being able to turn into jade is also an honor."

When Master Yu said this, he smiled again: "Everyone has different beliefs, and they have the right to protect their own beliefs, don't they?"

Hua Mulan looked at the jade mage upon hearing the words, and she found that the body of the jade mage was almost finished turning into jade, at least the exposed skin had turned into the texture of jade.Not only that, but many shallow cracks can be seen on the jade.It was like an extremely exquisite jade, but it was slowly crumbling.

When these cracks are getting bigger and bigger and spread all over the body, it is not known when...

At this time Master Jade seemed to have seen what Hua Mulan was thinking, and said: "Jade is a treasure, but it is also fragile. If the human body becomes jade, it will naturally become stiff and fragile."

Speaking of this, Master Yu stretched out a finger as white as jade, and gently tapped on the wall in front of him.

Immediately, a bit of gentle peripheral light flowed out from Master Jade's fingertips and landed on the jade wall, just like a little ripple on the calm water surface, and the vibrant breath kept swaying along with this ripple, Gradually, the entire hall emitted a more gentle and more radiant green light, flickering like breathing.

This scene is really amazing, and Hua Mulan also sighed sincerely.really beautiful.

"Maybe, ordinary people can't understand, but Jade Master is like a jade city. It is a flower that blooms until death. It is a work built with everything you have. Jade is glory, beauty, and whether a Jade Master A powerful symbol."

"And I am not far away from being completely transformed into jade. On that day, I will be completely shattered into countless fragments, and then perish between heaven and earth in the form of jade." Master Jade spoke of his own death very calmly.

Hua Mulan listened silently, not knowing what she was thinking for a while...

"Master, I want to ask a question." Hua Mulan said.

Master Yu's gentle gaze seemed to be encouraging and tacit, and he seemed to appreciate Hua Mulan, who was full of life energy.

Hua Mulan simply said directly: "I want to ask about Heijingsha."

Master Yu was slightly taken aback, but was silent for a short while.

Just when Hua Mulan thought that Master Yu was unwilling to bring up this topic, Master Yu finally said, "Indeed, when it comes to the entire cloud, no one knows more about Heijingsha than Yucheng and Miyuhui. In other words, Black Snake, and Demon God."

From Master Yu's unhurried, jade-like narration, both Hua Mulan and Baili Shouyue have a more comprehensive understanding of Heijingsha.

Black crystal sand means black snake, although not just seeing black crystal sand can form a black snake... Before the black snake, there are smaller black spirals, but no matter which one is fatal.

But Master Yu let Hua Mulan and the others understand something deeper, that is, what is the black snake?
"The demon god once wreaked havoc on this land and was finally sealed. His blood polluted the sand in the cloud, and the sand was stained with black magic energy, which is black crystal sand. And the black snake composed of black crystal sand is It is a symbol of the body of the demon god, and they, like the demon god, possess the terrifying magical power to devour everything."

The jade mage said: "It is said that the body of the demon god is sealed in the depths of the sand sea in the clouds, where mortals cannot resist. And its spirit of the demon god is sealed under the jade city, and the huge active energy in the jade mine is sealed. The spirit of the evil demon god made it fall into a long sleep..."

"When the black snake appears, it will devour the living and sacrifice the pure soul to the demon god, leaving only a small amount of black crystal sand where it passes, but the devoured soul disappears without a trace..."

Hua Mulan raised her head abruptly, for a moment she wondered if the Jade Mage knew something, devoured, sacrificed, and left black crystal sand behind!This sounds really familiar!

Master Yu meant that the missing girl was swallowed up as a sacrifice?

However, Hua Mulan couldn't help but want to sneer the next moment, it was really ridiculous, let alone whether it really happened, after all, it sounded too weird.Even if there is really a black snake sacrifice, she will snatch him back!

Master Yu seemed to have sensed Hua Mulan's thoughts, and said meaningfully: "Maybe you can find the answer by yourself."

At this time, Master Yu's eyes seemed to look further away, and he seemed to see nothing: "There is a city in the cloud in the sea of ​​sand in the clouds. It is said that the black snake that devoured the sacrifices appeared there recently. If you If you want to know more about Sombra, maybe you can go to that place."

After Hua Mulan and Baili kept their promise and left, the Jade Pagoda became silent again, and it was not until a long time later that there was a leisurely sigh.

"Incomparably powerful and tenacious life energy, a hybrid demon species that is better than the wolf species that have appeared before..."

"The cloud is about to face turmoil, whether it can solve the crisis...wait and see, wait and see...if it fails..."

"Many people will lose their lives because of this..."

The sigh disappeared without a trace, and everything returned to silence, as if it had never appeared.
