Alienated Martial Arts

Chapter 277 Breaking the Law

After the snow, the sky is clear.

The sun, which had disappeared for a long time, finally broke through the clouds and spread its light and heat to the earth.

After several days of being devastated by cold wind and snow, the temperature began to rise rapidly.

The snow in the mountains is melting, and there is the sound of dripping water everywhere.

Two figures walked side by side and climbed up the stairs.

Stepping through the simple and magnificent white jade stone door, you enter into a majestic and solemn environment.

"Disciple has met the Taoist Master."

The inner disciples on duty saluted respectfully, and waited until the two figures walked away before they dared to raise their heads and continue chatting with their companions about everything.

From the beginning to the end, they did not even glance at the young woman who was following the Taoist Master.

It was as if she did not exist in their sight and could not attract the slightest attention.

"I remember you always wore white clothes before. Why are you wearing other colors now?"

Qi Taiquan stopped at an intersection and asked slowly.

Her eyes were now falling on a row of houses and courtyards not far away, her expression slightly lost in thought.

After a moment, she lowered her head and glanced at the light blue cloak wrapped around her body, with a peaceful smile on her face, "Time is like running water, it will never come back. Everything in the world is always changing, and the disciples are among them. , and naturally it will change accordingly.”

Master Xuanwu nodded, "The sun rises and sets, the moon waxes and wanes, many things seem to remain unchanged, but everything I was familiar with back then, when I look back now, most of them have changed. "

Speaking of this, he pointed to the building not far away, "I still remember that when your group of disciples first entered the inner gate, they stayed here temporarily. Every day, there were all the senior brothers and sisters, and even the hall master. Elders come to teach and answer questions.

Unexpectedly, more than ten years have passed in a blink of an eye, and many of the fresh faces at that time have gradually become blurred and disappeared from memory bit by bit. "

She fell into silence and tried to recall the past, "At that time, I was accepted by the teacher as a direct disciple. It was Senior Sister Qing who led me out from here. For a period of time, she was like a real sister, leading me to get familiar with the inner sect. everything of.

Even at the last moment of her life, Senior Sister Qing tried hard not to die so quickly, just to leave some clues and information for me, the Junior Sister.

It's just that after the Cangmang Mountains, I can no longer remember what she looked like. I only know that her voice was soft and her smile was warm. Other memories seemed to have been dug out and turned into a blank. "

Speaking of this, she sighed quietly, "Senior Sister Qing has always been quiet and unwilling to move around, and she doesn't want to move around with other people, so after her death for a while, I was the only one who still remembered her.

Forgetting is the final real death, so if even I forget Senior Sister Qing, then everything in the world will no longer be related to her, and she will truly lose all traces of her existence. "

"Forgetting is true death."

Qi Taiquan was thoughtful and continued to walk forward with his hands behind his back.

After ten steps, he stopped beside a green pine and suddenly asked, "Have you completely forgotten Senior Brother Feng?"

She gathered her thoughts and her tone became calm and indifferent again, "There is no trace of the teacher here anymore. As for whether there are any traces left in other places, I thought there shouldn't be any, but the last time I heard what the Taoist Master said, I had another idea. changed.”

Qi Taiquan asked again, "The fact that you went to the Luocha clan's ancestral hall last year was related to Senior Brother Feng Zhen?"

"Yes, if there is a way, the teacher has something to do, and the disciple will do his duty."

Sun Xiyue smiled, "I felt that the teacher was a little pitiful, so I worked hard to build a house for him to live in. Later, seeing how the old man was jumping around in it, he must have liked that house as pure white as snow."

Qi Taiquan stopped on the side of the road and was silent for a long time.

Suddenly, the figure he saw in Xuanwu Hall not long ago flashed before his eyes.

Thinking of this, he sighed softly, "That house should not be here now."

"The Taoist Master is right."

With sparkles in her eyes, she looked at an old man coming from a distance, and fell into memories and thoughts again.

But he still said slowly, "Disciples will not always be able to carry that kind of distorting pressure.

So from the ancestral hall of the Luocha clan to crossing the vast mountains, there were countless battles. The result was that I finally completed the cut and escape with a seriously injured and dying body. "

The old man had already come closer at this time, stopped and bowed.

Qi Taiquan nodded slightly, "Is Elder Rongshang ready to go down the mountain?"

"In reply to Taoist Master, I just agreed to Master Nephew Pang's request the day before yesterday and was about to go to Xuanwu Villa to teach the new disciples their lessons and guide their practice."

Liu Rongsheng raised his head and his eyes fell on the open space not far away, with some doubts in his eyes.

"It is a blessing for the disciples of our sect to have Elder Rongsheng personally preach and teach and resolve their doubts."

Qi Taiquan smiled and said, "If there is enough time, I will work hard for Elder Liu to do an assessment this time to see which young people in other courtyards are worth focusing on training. Then bring the list to Xuanwu Hall to me."

"Please rest assured, Taoist Master, I have this intention when I go down the mountain this time, and I have made sufficient preparations in advance."

Liu Rong bowed again, passed the two of them, and left quickly.

Soon he exited the white jade stone door and disappeared among the long stone steps.

"Disciple, thank you Dao Master for helping to cover it up. If it were just me, I wouldn't be able to completely cover up the martial arts master's perception."

"You shouldn't appear in the mountain gate again, but since I brought you in, it's my duty to help you cover up."

While talking, Qi Taiquan sat down in a pavilion by the roadside, "For a long time last year, the head of Dingxuan Palace was looking for your whereabouts. Did you meet her when you were in Mozhou?"

"The head of the palace is also a pitiful person."

She stood by the pavilion, silently looking at the inscriptions on the stone tablet standing there.

"She and I are actually in the same boat. Although the specific situations are very different, fundamentally speaking, they are generally similar.

However, when it comes to meeting her, the disciple means that it is better not to meet her than not to meet her. "

"Because poor people must be hateful. I am like this, and the palace master is also like this. When two hateful people meet together, it is not a good thing no matter how you think about it."

She moved her gaze away from the inscription and looked at the carved patterns in the pavilion. "In addition, the disciples, like the Taoist master, also had doubts about the death of the head of Dingxuanluo. They wanted to come to the palace where he was an elder at that time. Yuan should know something, but he kept silent.

Later, she focused on looking for me, and even killed several elders in the sect because of this, which may have something to do with this matter. "

After a pause, she continued, "Actually, whether Luo Qingjun is dead or alive has no direct relationship with his disciples, and I don't want to worry about it at this time.

However, I met some people and things in southern Xinjiang later, which made me think about it seriously again. I hope that Master Luo is really dead and not still alive. "

"It's a pity that Fu Taichang is too stubborn. He would rather risk his life than answer my questions. Otherwise, we can use the information he has to infer some clues and guess how Master Luo is doing now."

"Fu Taichang, did you kill him?"

"No, I finally let him go."

Sun Xiyue sighed, "Originally, after Fu Taichang recognized me, he really had the idea of taking his life, and almost sent him to the underworld.

Just thinking that the witnesses of the Guishu Fake Incident were either dead or crazy, and that no one was seen alive or dead, I suddenly became a little uninterested and did not press him further. "

"As for the consequences of being recognized by Fu Taichang."

Her tone was gentle and unconcerned, "This disciple was ranked number one on the red list a few years ago, so what if someone knew he was still alive?

On the contrary, the Taoist master needs to pay more attention. After all, although Fu Taichang's character is as hard as a rock, his vision is not bad. He has been suspicious since the disciple raised the question, so when he knows the identity of the disciple, he will naturally Think of Taoist Master.

However, from the disciple's point of view, since even I, an abandoned disciple of Xuanwu, didn't care, the Taoist master, as the number one person in Xuanwu Dao, didn't think so either, so he raised it high and put it down gently, asking him to go back and treat me to a meal. A pot. "

Qi Taiquan just smiled when he heard this, "There are many people who miss me, and there is indeed no shortage of him."

He closed his eyes and suddenly said, "What if Master Luo is indeed still alive?"

Sun Xiyue closed her eyes and her voice suddenly became very soft, "It depends on how she lives, and it also depends on my mood and thoughts.

Perhaps the disciples would ignore it or ignore it, but it is also possible that one day they would enter Mozhou again, kill Luo Qingjun first, and then destroy the Dingxuan sect that had been passed down from the previous dynasty to this day. "

Qi Taiquan did not delve further into this issue, and changed the subject, "Since the last time we met, I have been a little curious these days, why don't I see any traces of practicing my skills on you?"

After looking at the incised carvings, she turned her gaze to the Xuanwu Hall in the distance at the center of the inner gate. Her eyes were solemn and complicated.

"Except for the basics of our sect, turtles and snakes intertwined with each other, and the Xuanwu true accident, other disciples have forgotten it.

After I nearly died once, I went to southern Xinjiang to see the secrets hidden deep in the Three Thousand Mountains. In the process, I unknowingly learned about my martial arts and the things I had studied before. All kinds of exercises have been forgotten.

Now only the most commonly used killing moves are left, and I am trying to forget them little by little. "

As she spoke, she bowed slightly and said, "Disciple, thank you Taoist Master for allowing me to return to the mountain gate for a visit."

Qi Taiquan said, "There are still Xuanwu Hall and Yunlan Hall where you stayed before. Are you ready to go down the mountain now?"

"It is enough for the disciples to have gone through this journey in the inner sect."

Sun Xiyue stood up straight, took out a sealed and intact faith from her sleeve and placed it on the pavilion table, "This is something that the Taoist disciples are looking for. I can't guarantee whether the content inside is true or false. It still needs to be carefully checked by the Taoist master." ."

Qi Taiquan nodded slightly, "The young man I met last time is Wei Tao, the Yuan Daoist disciple of Qinglin Mountain. If you want to attack him, I'm afraid you will have to pass Ning Xuanzhen first."

She paused slightly and then disappeared.

…………

………………

Dusk is approaching, and the orange sun is gradually setting in the west.

The wind also became stronger, carrying an increasingly intense chill and driving away the last trace of warmth.

On Qinglin Mountain, Wei Tao walked over the stone sculptures built against the mountain and walked quickly towards the peak.

The mountain wind passed by me one after another, making a sharp whistling sound.

He was very fast, and soon he was in front of the tall stone gate.

The inner disciples who were on duty here immediately came over to check, and there were others hiding in the dark, ready to give a warning.

"I've met Wei Daozi."

After seeing his face clearly, the inner disciple secretly breathed a sigh of relief, cupped his fists and saluted.

Wei Tao nodded and asked as he walked, "Is the Taoist Master here?"

"The Taoist master probably hasn't come down the mountain yet. It's just dinner time, so he should be..."

Before the inner disciple finished speaking, his eyes suddenly blurred, and Wei Tao was nowhere to be seen again.

More than half an hour later.

Wei Tao took a sip from the tea cup and recounted the collected information in detail.

Ning Xuanzhen was still surrounded by white mist, and he didn't speak for a long time.

Suddenly the door creaked.

The door of the house was opened gently from the outside.

Granny Yu walked in with some difficulty, carrying a huge food box in each hand.

She glanced at Dao Master Ning who was sitting still, and then said to Wei Tao who stood up and saluted, "Sit down quickly, you have been working hard all the way, just sit down and rest."

Grandma Yu opened the food box and placed plates of steaming dishes on the table in front of Wei Tao.

One table was not enough, so another one was pulled from the side to join.

While opening the wine and serving dishes, she sighed, "The ice and snow in the Northern Wasteland are bitterly cold, and everyone seems to have lost weight. I just need to take a good supplement when I come back."

"Disciple, thank you teacher."

Wei Tao took the bowl and chopsticks handed over by Grandma Yu, looked at the table in front of him that could not accommodate the seats, and then saw that Master Ning only had a cup of tea on the table, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

Grandma Yu waved her hand, "We have all eaten, so you can just sit back and finish these two tables of dishes without worrying about anything else.

It's a pity that Xiaoxu is still down the mountain and hasn't come back, otherwise the old lady would be happy to see you two sitting together eating. "

At this moment, Dao Master Ning's old voice came out from the mist, "The information Xiao Tao brought back is very important. Senior Sister Yu, please come with me to Qinglin Hall and summon all the elders to discuss matters."

Grandma Yu nodded and was about to go out but stopped and turned around, "Junior brother Ning, who are you going to let attend the meeting in Qingyang Academy?"

Dao Master Ning smiled slightly and said, "Master Qingyang already knows all the contents of this discussion, so he stayed here to eat. What do you think, Senior Sister Yu?"

The two left quickly and disappeared into the night.

Without their attention, Wei Tao immediately let go of his hands and feet. In a short time, he swept away the two tables of medicinal food. Then he called the Taoist boy who was waiting outside to clean up, and he slowly returned to Qingyang Courtyard.

The doors and windows of the practice room are closed, and the lights are brightly lit inside.

Wei Tao sat cross-legged, his eyes half open and half closed, and there was a faint golden light flashing inside from time to time.

Quietly, the status bar appeared empty.

Name: Diamond Secret Technique.

Progress: seventy percent.

Status: Perfect.

Realm: Three levels of breaking the law.

Description: Mutually confirmed with other exercises, this exercise has undergone changes and improvements.

"Whether to consume a gold coin to improve the progress of the Vajra Secret Technique."

With calm eyes, he stared at the gold coin that naturally increased in the status bar, but after a moment, he stepped out of it.

Uh-huh!

The lights on the surrounding walls suddenly jumped.

An inexplicable aura rippled in the practice room.

There was also a faint dark golden light that emitted from Wei Tao's body, illuminating the entire room even brighter.

Wei Tao's spirit and will were concentrated in one place, and he used the Guan Shen Wang Qi technique with all his strength, and his eyes suddenly turned into flowers.

The Qingyangyuan practice room was gone, but there was a sea of colorful flowers extending out from under the feet, quickly spreading in all directions until it covered the entire mountain.

A bone altar slowly appeared, standing in the sea of flowers.

There was also a slender figure in white clothes and skirt, walking slowly from a distance and slowly sitting on the bone altar.

She is surrounded by colorful silk threads and has various Sanskrit chants, giving people a high, holy and beautiful feeling.

Click!

Suddenly, a soft sound came from the depths of the Bone Altar.

The clarity lingered in Wei Tao's ears.

He remained unmoved at all, watching quietly as it began to transform into various distorted images, making clicking sounds at the same time, as if it had come to life.

I don't know since when, another figure emerged from the sea of flowers, dragging its cold and stiff body, slowly approaching him.

It also brings all kinds of complicated and messy sounds, which seem to sound directly in the depths of consciousness, making people extremely worried and inexplicably anxious.

Time passed little by little.

I don’t know how long it will take.

Wei Tao opened his eyes suddenly, sweating profusely, as if he had just been fished out of the water.

He breathed slowly and calmly, his brows furrowed little by little, and he fell into deep thought.

Just before the metaphysical delusion started, he went back over and over again to the true meaning of the Vajra Secret Technique that he had personally experienced in Beixu Town, and every time he used the Zhanqi Qi technique with all his strength to gain enlightenment, but when he finally tried it with himself as the target, the delusion failed. The signs came suddenly.

The sea of flowers instantly covered and filled almost all of his consciousness, pushing everything out, leaving him to try his best, but to no avail.

It even caused mental weakness and exhaustion, almost to the point of being unsustainable.

Wei Tao slowly stood up and walked around in the practice room to rest.

What just happened made him feel like he was back in his student days.

Faced with a mathematical problem, I think I know it after reading other people's answers twice. But when I try to solve a similar type of problem, I am still confused and cannot find the real solution to the problem. Naturally, I have to to the correct answer.

Uh-huh!

The status bar appears again.

Wei Tao stared at the interface of Xuanwu Zhenjie Qisu Chapter, and then moved his eyes to the Turtle and Snake Chapter. After thinking for a long time, he finally felt unwilling to do so.

After thinking silently for a moment, he closed the status bar again and began to use the Guan Shen Wang Qi technique to retrospect and understand the secret artistic conception revealed by the Beihuang Grandmaster.

If one time doesn't work, then do it twice.

If two times doesn't work, then try more times.

After reading it a hundred times, its meaning becomes apparent.

Unknowingly, Wei Tao's complexion became increasingly bleak, and strands of blood even seeped out from his seven orifices.

He subconsciously took a deep breath and exhaled slowly to relieve his increasingly severe headache.

When he was thirsty, he would drink the water that had been prepared long ago. When he was hungry, he would eat dried meat and pills to satisfy his hunger. When he couldn't hold on any longer, he just lay down on the ground to rest. He never took another step forward after entering the practice room.

As time passed, the dark gold color in his eyes became brighter and brighter, mixed with the scarlet red that appeared at an unknown time. Under the light of the surrounding lights, it seemed that two golden and red lights were lit.

puff!

The last light went out on its own.

The practice room suddenly fell into darkness.

At this moment, Wei Tao's eyes suddenly shone brightly.

The sea of colorful flowers extends to the end of the line of sight, and the altar of bones appears in the void, with a woman with a blurred face sitting in it.

In addition, countless complicated noises sounded together, and the illusion that the world was upside down kept appearing in front of his eyes.

Wei Tao calmed down and worked hard to keep the spiritual platform clear.

Just like he had done countless times before, he was habitually operating the Diamond Secret Technique and using the God-Watching Qi Technique to look for the slightest opportunity for the mysterious meaning to appear.

Suddenly, a dark golden light rose quietly.

Just when he felt like the world was spinning, he appeared between two petals.

Maybe practice makes perfect, or maybe it’s blessing to the soul.

Of course, it may also be due to overwhelming luck.

Wei Tao had almost no hesitation or hesitation, and immediately captured this dark golden light.

In an instant, the light turned from a point to a line, turning into a thin golden line, and then meandering along an extremely complicated trajectory, forming a more complex three-dimensional pattern in an instant.

Wei Tao devoted all his energy to it.

Reached a state of total selflessness.

Quietly, a breath as thick as a mountain and bright and sacred emanated from this unfinished three-dimensional figure.

And as the golden thread moves faster and faster, lighting up more and more complex lines, this aura becomes more intense and obvious.

"Is this the mysterious idea of successfully sensing and capturing the secret method of Vajra?"

Wei Tao suppressed the joy rising in his heart and still devoted himself to it.

Although the golden thread was spinning as fast as electricity, and the lines it traced were becoming more and more complex, it did not affect his perception and experience at all.

Until the golden thread stopped swimming and the three-dimensional pattern was completely formed, he didn't feel the unbearable pain or pressure.

At this moment, a terrifying aura emerged from the dark gold lines, which was no less than the Emperor Wu's true intention, and even more so.

Wei Tao suddenly squinted his eyes and watched a pure golden palm rising up, with golden lotuses blooming in the palm, and an indescribable figure bathed in light, like a god in golden armor coming to the world, showing his majesty and holiness. state.

The next moment, the palm that was made of pure gold moved without any warning, and with a blinding radiance, it suddenly came towards everything below.

boom! ! !

Everywhere you look is filled with bright golden light.

This feeling of personal experience is definitely more shocking than watching the mysterious artistic conception of Beihuang Mengzhi.

Wei Tao instinctively wanted to retreat, but he remained rooted to the spot.

He stared intently at the figure that looked like a Dharma Protector, feeling the artistic conception contained in it. For a moment, he even forgot who he was, where he was, and what he was doing.

Suddenly, a palpitating breath of death and annihilation rose from where the golden light was at its peak.

Wei Tao couldn't help but be startled, and there was an undetectable wave in his mind.

boom!

In an instant, the golden light disappeared like dreamy bubbles.

The sea of flowers is still the same sea of flowers, and the altar is still the same altar, as if nothing just happened.

"It still failed, but this was the closest failure to success."

"Next time, when I have a good rest and return my spirit and will to its best state, I will be able to successfully comprehend and capture the mysterious thoughts of the Vajra Secret Technique."

Wei Tao sighed secretly and recalled the experience of failure just now, feeling filled with inexplicable emotions in his heart.

He believes that the most difficult part is to discover Xuan Nian.

As for the meandering golden threads or the complicated, twisting and changing three-dimensional patterns behind it, although he could not say that he had a complete plan and was able to handle them with ease, he still followed the steps step by step and did not panic at all.

It is not like what Ni Hao, Yu Granny, and even Liu Chengsheng said, although it is difficult to discover mysterious thoughts, the most difficult thing is the final process of capturing and understanding.

Wei Tao had a thought in his heart, thoughtful.

After a moment, he slowly exhaled a breath, "So that's it. I have been tortured by the Xiyue Picture Book a long time ago. Later, in order to practice other exercises, I endured the torture of delusions and visualized those twisted line patterns day and night. , and even formed a habit.

Perhaps it is for this reason that when faced with the changes in the Vajra Secret Technique of converting points into lines, and then using lines to form three-dimensional patterns, it is not as difficult as other warriors, but it becomes a habit. "

He collected his thoughts and quietly stared at the graceful figure above the bone altar, showing her a gentle smile.

At this moment, the delusion receded, and the Flower Sea Altar quietly disappeared into the darkness.

The next moment, severe pain came without warning, overwhelming all his senses.

"This feeling is somewhat similar to when the status bar increases the skill."

"But without the injection of mysterious aura, I have to endure greater pain and replenish more energy!"

Wei Tao spurted out a mouthful of blood, and the flesh and blood in his body seemed to be being stirred and turned, no part of it was spared.

He had no other choice but to guard the Qingming of the Lingtai, regardless of the secret method of operating the Vajra, and at the same time stuffed a large amount of medicinal pills into his mouth to make up for the damage and consumption of his body.

Time passed little by little.

Wei Tao didn't know how long he had endured the pain, until after another roar, he seemed to hear a continuous thunder, exploding inside and outside his body at the same time.

At this moment, he suddenly felt a sense of relief reaching into the sky.

In the invisible training room, a dark golden light suddenly lit up.

After a long time, Wei Tao slowly closed his eyes, but in the depths of his consciousness, the huge body like a golden-armored god emerged.

Within its body, countless dark gold threads seemed to come alive, twisting, twisting and intertwining.

"It turns out that what is depicted by these golden threads is the true artistic conception of the Vajra Secret Technique."

"However, among these threads, I once again felt the dull and dark atmosphere. What is the hidden meaning?"

"There is also the Xiyue Picture Book that I have carefully hidden. I don't know what mental state she was in and what method she used to draw those twisted threads.

Although it is not as powerful as the Vajra Secret Technique and Mysterious Thought, fundamentally speaking, it is not essentially different from it. "

"Thinking about it on a deeper level, the Xiyue Picture Book gives me the feeling of distortion and madness. Judging from the content, the secret method of Vajra is obviously upright and majestic, but there is a hint of deadness and grayness hidden in it. It is really strange. Doubts arise in people’s minds,”

Wei Tao's thoughts were racing and he subconsciously opened the status bar in his mind.

He flipped through it at random, and his thoughts fell on the description of the secret method of Vajra, and he suddenly became inexplicably lost in thought.

Name: Diamond Secret Technique.

Progress: 80 percent.

Status: Comprehensive.

Realm: the first level.

Description: Mutually confirmed with other exercises, this exercise has undergone changes and improvements.

"Without spending a single gold coin, I just relied on my previous accumulation, insights and practice again and again to advance the progress of the practice of the Diamond Secret Technique by one level, and reached the first level of the three levels of breaking the law. "

"What is a natural qualification? This is a natural qualification."

"If one gold coin that has grown naturally is invested now, will the secret method of Vajra directly break through to 90% progress? There will only be one step away from the realm of the master who is transformed into a deity..."

"Whether to consume a gold coin to improve the progress of the Vajra Secret Technique."

Wei Tao stared at this line of small golden characters and chose "Yes" without hesitation.

The status bar suddenly became blurry, but eventually became stable again.

Nothing changed.

That gold coin was not consumed.

There is no mysterious aura injected into the body.

There was no reaction mentally or physically.

The smile on Wei Tao's face suddenly solidified, and he fell into a new round of contemplation.

Another period of time passed.

He even forgot the passage of time.

It was not until his mental and physical strength was fully restored that Wei Tao sensed and captured the secret method of diamond again, and he suddenly discovered the key point that could not be improved by using the gold coins in the status bar before.

Without the guidance of Xuan Nian, it would be like practicing Red Line Boxing without the Red Line Secret Record. Even if he reaches the blood coagulation limit-breaking level, he cannot use the status bar to break through to the Red Line level.

Moreover, it is more important than the Red Line Secret Record, and it is also countless times more difficult to get out.

After countless failures, Wei Tao finally caught the quietly rising golden light again.

"Whether to consume a gold coin to improve the progress of the Vajra Secret Technique."

This time, the only remaining gold coin disappeared quietly.

The mysterious aura flows into the body like a surging tide.

Dramatic changes came suddenly.

In an instant, a tearing pain suddenly came.

Applying to both mind and body.

Wei Tao gritted his teeth and endured the seemingly endless shock of terror.

Puffs of blood mist exploded from the surface of the body, mixed with the flowing sweat, and soon formed a pool of water on the ground.

It was quickly dried and scabbed, shining with a bloody and evil light under the dark golden light that came on from time to time.

Time passed little by little.
