The sky and the earth were thundering, and the horseshoes trampled on them.

The drums of war on the high wall seemed to be beating on Xie Shuci's heart, superimposing the emotions in his heart layer by layer, almost breaking through his chest, from the flesh. Break free from the body.

A banner stands on the top of the city, fluttering with the cold wind.

The horseshoes stepped on the war drum, as if the earth was trembling with it.

Xie Shuci took a deep breath. He is a very impulsive person. At this moment, he couldn't think about whether his identity would be exposed. He jumped off the carriage, untied the reins on the king, and said in a deep voice: "Take me up the tower."

"Aw!" The king's voice was choked with sobs, and he transformed into a red snow wolf half the height of a man.

Xie Shuci turned over and stepped on the wolf's back, turned to Xiao Xun who was in the carriage and said, "You wait for us here."

After finishing speaking, before Xiao Xun could answer, the king jumped up from the ground, stepped on the city wall with his sharp claws, and climbed up the tower in a few moments.

Xiao Xun quietly looked at Xie Shuci's back, hesitated for a moment, but still did not catch up.

"Who are you?"

Seeing the sudden appearance of a man and a wolf, the guard shouted in surprise.

Xie Shuci jumped off the wolf's back and said, "They and I are friends."

"friend?"

A person next to him stopped him and explained: "He came here with Songjiu Battalion."

Xie Shuci walked to the side of the city tower and lowered his eyes to look down.

The city tower is several feet high and has a wide field of vision. When you look up, you can see a group of people and horses standing on the ground a mile away. Like the sky collapsing and dark clouds falling to the ground, Xie Shuci felt a huge rock in his heart, unable to breathe at all.

Seeing that they are all ready to go, they can go back to the court directly after the Songjiu Battalion people approach.

Outside the city, Fang Xunxue rode at the forefront on a walking iron, and the others followed slowly behind him. They slowed down, raised their weapons high, and approached the enemy prostrate on the ground like a giant beast without hesitation.

The cold wind blew their robes and long hair, rolled up the dust on the ground, and blurred their drifting figures.

Xie Shuci walked aside, borrowed a drum hammer, wrapped it with spiritual power, and hammered it hard on the big drum. A blunt sound came from the tower, as if a huge stone fell into the water, causing layers of ripples .

The deafening drums, carried by spiritual power, floated melodiously to everyone, like bells from ancient times, stirring people's hearts.

Fang Xunxue, who was walking at the front of the line, turned his head. From a distance of several feet, he glanced at Xie Shuci, with a smile on the corner of his mouth. When he saw the person standing not far from Xie Shuci, the smile on the corner of his mouth froze again, but his eyes suddenly softened a lot.

Xie Shuci was stunned for a moment, then turned his head to look around, only to find that besides these soldiers, there was a man wearing a black cloak standing on the tower.

The man was tall and stalwart, even though he was shrouded in a cloak, he still had an extraordinary temperament, as if he was not an ordinary person.

The black hood covered most of his face, and Xie Shuci could only see his slightly trembling lips, which were as pale as paper.

"Surrender but not kill!"

Outside the empty city gate, Xie Shuci heard someone in Dongli's team shout.

They were so far apart that no one heard what they said except Xie Shuci upstairs.

The man seemed to have noticed something, and turned his head slightly, revealing half of his face hidden behind the cloak. His face was deeply contoured, his eyes were bloodshot, and he looked at Xie Shuci, as if he had already guessed the identity of Xie Shuci, but he did not Don't care, asked: "What did they say?"

Xie Shuci is a cultivator, and his hearing and eyesight are much better than ordinary people. He has already guessed the identity of this person, and said in a deep voice, "You don't want to kill him."

The man's figure shook slightly, his breathing became disordered for a moment, his voice trembled, and he asked again, "What did he say?"

Xie Shuci knew who the "he" in his words was referring to, he was silent for a moment and said: "He said, no surrender."

The man's breath stopped.

"He said he forced you to make the decision?" Xie Shuci asked.

The man's throat was dry, and he said: "Yes, I disagree with Dong Liti's conditions. He and Songjiu Battalion's people knelt outside the palace for three days, and I still disagreed on the fourth day, so he took Songjiu Battalion's people with him without authorization. When I come to the Southwest Pass, if I don’t make an imperial edict, they will die in vain. He always said that I am indecisive, but in fact, he is more suitable to govern the world than me.”

Xie Shuci closed his eyes and said softly, "His choice is correct."

Use the lives of nine of them in exchange for the temporary peace of Qi Country.

But why doesn't the man know that Fang Xunxue's choice is correct?

Xie Shuci looked at the dark cloud-like team falling on the ground in the distance. They had already set up their bows and arrows. If the nine members of the Songjiu Battalion did not put down their weapons, there might be a thousand arrows waiting for them.

Looking at their calm and firm backs, Xie Shuci's heart also became calm.

"Aww!"

The king suddenly jumped onto the city wall, his tall figure stood on the edge of the city wall, and let out a mournful cry.

Its voice is no longer empty and empty, its voice is full of sadness and anger, resounding through the entire sky.

At that moment, Xie Shuci knew that in just a few days of getting along, the king learned something from Xingtie that he would never forget.

"Aww!"

The howling of wolves rolled in the air, sad, lonely, lonely, and similarly, reluctance.

Hearing the king's voice, Xingtie paused, and slowly turned his head to look at the majestic king on the city wall.

"Aww!"

The king howled tirelessly, as if he wanted to use his own voice to accompany them through the final journey.

"Do they like snow?" Xie Shuci suddenly asked.

The man froze.

Xie Shuci took out the bronze medicine cauldron from his small saber, and used his spiritual power to lift it into the air. Through the link established between himself and the bronze tripod, he absorbed the continuous spiritual power from it, and used his body as a medium to lift the bronze medicine cauldron into the air. The spiritual power of the medicine cauldron was sent high into the sky.

The spiritual power was submerged in the dark clouds, and it only took a moment for it to turn into snowflakes floating down from the sky.

Xie Shuci didn't care if his identity would be discovered, and he didn't care whether his behavior would attract the attention of others.

He didn't meddle in mortal affairs, he just wanted to see the snow, so he snowed heavily for himself.

"Aww!"

Xie Shuci looked at the man beside him and asked, "Can I borrow my sword?"

"Please."

Xie Shuci's spiritual power urged the sword body, and it swept towards the Song Jiuying people like a broken bamboo.

The sky began to snow without warning.

Fang Xunxue raised his head suspiciously. He reached out to catch the snowflakes falling in mid-air, and watched the snowflakes fall on his palm, but he didn't feel cold at all.

"It's not snow..." Fang Xunxue murmured.

"We were so lucky to see the first snow this year."

"Idiot, this is not snow."

"Ah? Isn't this snow?"

Fang Xunxue raised his head in a daze, and the dots of snowflakes fell on his face but disappeared immediately, "This is...spiritual power."

The bright white spiritual power fell on everyone like snowflakes, like countless white fireflies flying around them.

Fang Xunxue looked at the pure white spiritual power obsessively, "This is spiritual power...it's really beautiful."

"Whoosh!"

A long sword manipulated by spiritual power flew to the crowd. The blade was glowing with cold light, circling around them, and the blade slashed across their skin, making people tremble.

"It's so majestic!"

"Is this the legendary Yujian flight?"

"This life is enough This life is enough."

"Hey, let's not talk about it, brothers are really lucky, and they met a few noble people before they died."

The smile on the corner of Fang Xunxue's mouth continued to enlarge, and her eyes seemed to fall into the stars, "Brothers, are you satisfied?"

"Enough!"

"With such beautiful scenery to accompany, it's time to hit the road."

"It's time to hit the road!"

The sound of horseshoes became more urgent, facing the bows and arrows facing them, they never returned.

"Arrow—"

At that moment, all arrows were fired.

"Aww!"

For Xie Shuci in the past, the scene in front of him was too cruel, but now it seems innocuous.

Snowflakes transformed from spiritual power fell on their bodies, washing away the blood on their skin.

The big picture is settled.

Dongli sent people to check the breath of the nine people to make sure they were dead, and then withdrew their troops and returned.

Perhaps he also had some respect for their deaths in his heart, and did not take their corpses away.

The spiritual power fell beside them, washing away the blood stains all over the ground. From a distance, they were as quiet as if they were asleep.

The king turned into a little milk dog and buried in Xie Shuci's chest without moving. The warm tears wet Xie Shuci's skirt, but unexpectedly, he didn't make any choking sound.

"Farewell." Xie Shuci nodded towards the man.

The man turned around, revealing his handsome face under the cloak, "Thank you."

Xie Shuci shook his head, "I didn't do anything, let me leave."

Xie Shuci carried the king down the tower and returned to the carriage.

He looked at the king in his arms, thought for a moment, walked to the city gate, and asked the guards for a horse.

Since Dongli had kept his promise to withdraw his troops, Xie Shuci did not plan to stay any longer.

He fastened the horse's reins and got into the carriage. Xiao Xun leaned against the wall of the carriage and looked at him.

"Go to Tianzhu City." Xie Shuci said.

He stroked the king's hair, with a calm expression on his face.

Xiao Xun's throat rolled, he looked at what Xie Shuci wanted to say, but in the end he didn't say it.

He felt that Xie Shuci was different from before, but he couldn't remember what Xie Shuci looked like before.

Under the leadership of Xianhe, the carriage gradually drove out of the city and headed in another direction.

After leaving the Southwest Pass and heading westward for three days, you will arrive at Tianzhu City.

After leaving Southwest Pass, Xie Shuci obviously became much quieter.

Xiao Xun felt something was wrong, but whenever he took the initiative to talk to Xie Shuci, Xie Shuci would immediately become the same as before.

Xiao Xun didn't know if he was still angry with Xie An, or for some other reason, even if he asked, Xie Shuci would not say anything, even so, he still did what he promised Xie Shuci, and there was no such thing in the past few days. Let Xie An wake up.

It wasn't until he entered Tianzhu City, came to the Flower Building, and saw Luo Xianlan and the two that he smiled a little more. "Brother Xiaoci!"

Seeing Xie Shuci suddenly appearing in the Flower Building, little Xianlan ran over from the other side of the corridor and threw herself into Xie Shuci's arms.

"Slow down, damn girl!" someone shouted beside her.

Xie Shuci caught her flying body, and couldn't help showing a smile on his face, "Do you really miss your brother Xiaoci?"

"Of course!" Xiao Xianlan backed away from his arms, feeling a little embarrassed, and then looked at the uninspired king in his arms, "My lord! Why are you getting smaller?"

She hugged the king, the little guy was in a lower mood than Xie Shuci these days, seeing sister Xianlan finally regained some energy, he moved up to him, wagged his tail, and licked Xiao Xianlan's hand with his tongue.

"Aww!" The king jumped out of Xiao Xianlan's arms, and transformed into a much larger prototype. Xiao Xianlan was startled and jumped again, reacting and rubbing its neck with a smile.

The king raised his head and narrowed his eyes in enjoyment.

"Where's Brother Xie An? This is..." Xiao Xianlan looked at Xiao Xun beside her, a little stunned, "Why does he look exactly like Brother Xie An?"

Xiao Xun glanced at her, pursed his lips and said, "I am Xie An."

Xiao Xianlan opened her mouth wide, "...huh?"

Xie Shuci smiled "puchi", rubbed the top of Xiao Xianlan's head, and said, "It's a long story, let's take us in first."

"Okay! Brother Xiaoci, where have you all been? I heard sister Little Lian say..."

Walking into the Flower Building, the building is as usual.

Xiao Xianlan brought Xie Shuci and the two into a room, Luo Xianyu opened the bead curtain and walked out, "Xianlan..."

Suddenly, she stared blankly and asked in surprise, "Mr. Xie?"

Xie Shuci waved at her, "Long time no see."

Luo Xianyu nodded, then turned his eyes to Xiao Xun beside her, "This is..."

Xie Shuci said with a dry smile: "He is Xie An, it's a long story, let's drink some water and eat something first, I'm starving to death."

Luo Xianyu laughed, "Xianlan, go and ask them to cook something to eat, and ask Little Lian to come over, and don't tell anyone else who Mr. Xie is."

"Okay, brother Xiaoci, wait a moment!"

The little girl probably didn't see Xie Shuci too much, he was a little over excited, hugged the king and went out in a hurry.

Hearing Luo Xianyu's instructions, Xie Shuci's heart sank two points, and asked: "Miss Luo, do you already know something?"

Luo Xianyu didn't shy away from it, looked at Xie Shuci with shallow eyes, and nodded, "Yes."

But before continuing to say more, she cast her eyes on Xiao Xun again.

Xiao Xun looked back coldly.

Xie Shuci poked him quietly at the side, telling him to calm down so as not to scare others. He also planned to stay in Tianzhu City for a while to see where the Xianmen general election was held.

Xiao Xun glanced at Xie Shuci, and silently looked away.

Xie Shuci finally regained some energy, and he didn't want Xie Shuci to be unhappy.

Xie Shuci chatted with Luo Xianyu in a neutral manner, Luo Xianyu's personality was relatively dull, but he also showed a few genuine smiles when talking with Xie Shuci.

Xiao Xun sat beside Xie Shuci with a straight face.

Not long after, Little Xianlan and Little Lian came into the room and brought a large table of food for Xie Shuci and the others.

The king groaned and ate his share in the corner.

"Oh, who am I? Isn't this Mr. Xie?" Little Lian walked in slowly, swaying and holding a cattail fan.

Xie Shuci hadn't eaten anything in the past few days. When she saw a large table full of food, she flipped a Byakugan to her, and buried herself on the table to eat.

Little Lian sat down at the table and said with a sneer, "Where did you escape? Haven't eaten for a few days?"

Xie Shuci swallowed the food in his mouth and said, "I escaped from Qi Country. I haven't eaten for three days. I'm going to starve to death!"

Xiao Xun saw how he was devouring, patted his back with his hand, frowned and said: "Eat slowly."

Xie Shuci said something, couldn't hear clearly, put a few pieces of meat in Xiao Xun's bowl, and signaled him to eat quickly, those who didn't know really thought they escaped from somewhere.

"You really escaped?" Little Lian teased.

"I...cough cough!" Xie Shuci ate too fast and choked when he was about to speak.

Xiao Xun frowned even deeper, and turned to stare at Little Lian.

Little Lian curled his lips and said nothing more.

Luo Xianyu said: "Young Master Xie said that he came from Qi country, and he probably took the commercial road. It must have been a tiring journey, so let's talk about it after he finishes eating."

Xie Shuci nodded. In fact, he was not very hungry, but he was used to eating, and there was no taste in his mouth, so he was so hungry.

When Xie Shuci was full, Xiao Xun didn't even move his chopsticks.

"Won't you eat something?"

Xiao Xun shook his head, "No need."

"Oh."

Little Lian waited by the side for a long time, seeing that he finally put down his chopsticks, leaned forward and said, "Can we chat now?"

Xie Shuci wiped his mouth twice, the king in the corner climbed onto Xie Shuci with his chubby belly, and was about to sleep in his arms, but just as he lay down, Xiao Xun grabbed the back of his neck and pulled him Ti slipped into his arms.

The king was quite calm, and continued to sleep on his stomach with a groan.

Xie Shuci nodded, "Okay, let's talk, do you know about Machine Reading City?"

Little Lian and Luo Xianyu looked at each other, their expressions gradually becoming serious.

Little Lian nodded and said, "That's right."

After finishing speaking, she turned her eyes to Xiao Xun again, with a complicated look on her face, "He really is..."

Xie Shuci nodded calmly and said, "Well, he is Xiao Xun."

Little Lian frowned, "Then what you guys did in Machine Reading City..."

Xie Shuci gave a "hmm" sound, "Free & Unfettered Sect forced Xie An to go mad and start killing. I killed Free & Unfettered Sect's disciple and took him to escape."

Little Lian rolled his eyes at him, "You are stupid, this matter has nothing to do with you, why do you need to get involved, do you know that the whole cultivation world is hunting you now!"

Xie Shuci stretched his waist and leaned on the back of the chair, "This matter is inextricably linked to me, so chase after him, anyway, you can't die anyway."

He didn't know what to think of, and laughed lowly, "Life and death are bearish, if you don't accept it, do it."

Hearing his words, the three of Little Lian were startled at the same time.

Xiao Xianlan smiled and said, "Brother Xiaoci, you have become different from before."

Xie Shuci shrugged his shoulders, "Really? Does it look much better than before?"

"Brother Xiaoci is the best!"

Luo Xianyu couldn't help but look at Xie Shuci's face, even though she didn't get along with Xie Shuci for a long time, she could clearly feel that Xie Shuci had really changed.

It seems that it has become... not so happy.

Although he was laughing and joking as before, the smile in his eyes was no longer as clear and relaxed as before.

Little Lian looked at him a little hesitant to speak. "Why?" Xie Shuci looked at him puzzled.

Little Lian asked with a complicated expression, "What are you going to do in the future?"

Xie Shuci lowered his eyes and said, "I plan to stay in Tianzhu City for a while. After all, this place belongs to Dongli Kingdom. Even if people from Xiaoyaomen find me, they would not dare to make trouble here, let alone they don't remember Xie An and me. appearance."

Hearing this, Luo Xianyu and Little Lian looked at each other again and sighed at the same time.

Xie Shuci looked at them in surprise, "What's wrong? I'm not welcome? Don't worry, I won't do anything to you, and I won't hurt you..."

"Master Xie, please don't say such words, Xianyu will always remember your life-saving grace." Luo Xianyu interrupted him with a frown.

Little Lian also said: "You can't implicate us, Tianzhu City is the territory of mortals, they dare not do anything to us."

"It's just..." Little Lian hesitated.

"what?"

Luo Xianyu sighed and said, "Mr. Xie, I'm afraid you don't know the business path you've been walking during this time. Not long ago, Baimen issued a message that as long as one of you and Mr. Xiao can be caught, you will be handed over to me regardless of life or death." To Baimen, no matter who they are, they can directly enter the Buddha Realm. Even ordinary people can give an inner core to help him cultivate into a golden core."

Xie Shuci's eyes widened in surprise, "I'll go, why spend so much money?"

Little Lian nodded and said: "It is said that the news came from the elders of the Siming Pavilion in the Pagoda. Xie Shuci, you and Xiao Xun can hardly move an inch in the realm of comprehension."

"I can't help it. I killed the disciple of the Free & Unfettered Sect family. Xie An still holds a handle on Free & Unfettered Sect. They will definitely not let us go."

Little Lian shook his head and said, "More than that, it's said..."

Having said that, she glanced at Xiao Xun with some trepidation.

Xie Shuci waved his hand and said: "Let's be honest, he doesn't remember anything now, only the memories before he was nine years old."

Little Lian was stunned for a moment, and said, "I heard that not long ago, the elder Siming Pavilion calculated that there was a rebellion in destiny. Several disciples went down to investigate this matter, and finally found that the rebellion in destiny has something to do with Xiao Xun and evil spirits."

Is there a relationship between Xiao Xun's destiny and rebellion?

Xie Shuci frowned, turned to look at Xiao Xun who was expressionless beside him. It is not that Xie Shuci had guessed that it might have something to do with Xie An, after all, the several times that the reincarnation formation appeared had something to do with them.

The people who came to investigate should be Si Kongxin and Liu Dazhuang. How did they find out that this matter has something to do with Xie An?

However, isn't the formation of reincarnation refined from evil spirits? How could it have anything to do with Xie An?

Xie Shucihu asked: "Do you remember to ward off evil spirits?"

Xiao Xun said: "I've heard of it before."

"Wait..." Xie Shuci frowned, "You can't just ward off evil, right?"

Xiao Xun gave him a quiet look, "No."

He paused for a moment, then said: "If you want to know so much, why don't you just ask Xie An directly."

Xie Shuci's expression darkened, and he lowered his head, "No need."

It doesn't matter whether this matter has anything to do with Xie An, it's even better if it has something to do with it, maybe Xie An doesn't need to be destroyed after he dies after exorcising evil spirits and refining the book of reincarnation.

Anyway, it has nothing to do with Xie Shuci, and it doesn't matter if you know it or not.

Xiao Xun looked at his expression, his breath sank.

He felt that the recent Xie Shuci was very strange, but he didn't know the previous Xie Shuci, so he couldn't tell what was strange about Xie Shuci. He thought Xie An knew it, but he agreed to Xie Shuci, and Xie Shuci didn't want to see Xie An.

Seeing Xie Shuci's indifferent expression, Little Lian glared at him with hatred, "You, are you obsessed with ghosts? This is a serious crime! Do you understand the serious crime? You still cover him?"

Xie Shuci smiled and said: "I'm not obsessed with ghosts, but obsessed with sex. Hey, I have never been chased like this before. You say that if I go to Guiyi and they surrender, they can go directly to the Futu Realm... ...But Guiyi, they just want to win, not to go to the Buddha Realm."

Xiao Xun didn't know what to think of, frowned, and said: "The Futu Realm is not a good place."

Xie Shuci blinked, and suddenly remembered what Chu Wenfeng had said.

"I remember, when I came out of the Dragon Tooth Secret Realm, Chu Wenfeng said that the senior of the Chu family also said that the Futu Realm is not a good place. But isn't the Futu Realm also a secret realm, which is full of spiritual power, luxuriant spiritual grass, and spirit beasts everywhere , everyone in the cultivation world flocks to it..."

Having said this, Xie Shuci suddenly stopped.

The Buddha Realm is a secret realm, and the secret realm is transformed by the sea of consciousness after the monk's death. Generally, the gate of the secret realm will be opened to the cultivation world at special times.

And the passage between the Buddha Realm and the cultivation world is open all year round, and it seems that one can enter the Buddha Realm from anywhere.

If so, the owner of the Buddha Realm should not be dead yet, and he is strong enough to support the passage linking the Buddha Realm to the cultivation world.

Then, who will be the owner of the Buddha Realm?
