Lost Narrative Poetry

Time: Not long has passed since the previous battle.

Location: Still Jimo, East China Sea.

It was obviously a day for temple fairs and celebrations, but at this moment, the coastal villages and towns were deserted and empty, with not a single soul in sight, because all the villagers had been guided to the Hidden Fragrance Mountain and entered the formation. middle.

This is a last resort. At least it can effectively hide the traces of the villagers and protect them. As long as Hidden Fragrance Mountain is not violently breached, the safety of the villagers is still guaranteed with the combined efforts of the local mountain gods and fox fairies. of.

So there was only an empty village left in Jimo. There were many trampled snacks and snacks on the streets and alleys, and the goods of the stalls were knocked over. Judging from the steaming food, it can also be seen that this place was here before. How lively it is.

But now there is only a mess left. Some buildings and houses even collapsed and collapsed in the aftermath, turning into ruins. It looked as if they had been swept and ravaged by a huge typhoon.

"Let them run away..."

Looking at the horizon gloomily, Saber, who was standing by the Jimo Sea, couldn't help but sigh. The group of people who just attacked came and went as fast as they came, but she didn't leave even a single person behind.

Although he knew that this was a non-combat crime and could not be done after all, such a record still made the victorious king feel shameful.

"It might not be a good thing. If you kill them all, it will cause trouble for your master..." Xiuyu said calmly, but his tone seemed a little cold, as if there was an extra sense of sadness. No joyful meaning.

"I know this, but that woman really makes me feel...not good. I hate her..."

Saber sighed again and said very depressedly.

Just like the second vampire with a Noble Phantasm on her face, she stopped at the last moment because she received a warning from space and found that once she killed the killer, it would cause a lot of trouble.

However, although she subconsciously withdrew some strength, it was indeed an important reason, and another important reason was the sudden appearance of the nun——

He seems to be a gentle and devout believer, but he does not only have faith and ideas, but his true strength is also terrifying beyond imagination. He is simply like a human figure that exudes endless sacred halo when he walks, or in other words, he is a gentle and pious believer. Like a balloon filled with holy power.

The scene at that time was also very shocking——

The holy brilliance that flowed and undulated like turbulent waves came overwhelmingly, spreading all over the earth, as if it was going to extend directly to the end of the world. The brilliance gathered into a huge cross, almost occupying the entire sky above our heads, exuding a kind of Divine waves.

The nun's own soft prayer seemed to have become ethereal and vast under such an increase. The huge holy cross turned into illusory light and shadow behind her, and the gaps in the clouds were pushed to both sides by the majestic holy power. The huge Holy radiance paved the steps...

It was as if the reflection of a huge country was reflected in the space and time behind it.

It was an ingenious use of extremely majestic holy power, as if divine rules were being formulated, and it was like the will of gods descending on the mortal world.

The heavens are the glory of the Lord, and the sky is the great work of God's hand - at least at that moment, the nun seemed to really control the entire world, like the spokesperson of gods in the world, the agent of miracles on earth.

In terms of pure feeling, Artoria even felt that the other party was not much inferior to her Master. She might be able to fight against her Master... It is hard to imagine that even the priests who choose the faith route can take it. to this point.

Such a strong man suddenly takes action, takes everyone away, and leaves the battlefield instantly. Without the corresponding abilities, it is indeed impossible to stop him.

However, a new problem arises——

That nun seems to be on the same side as the other party. Since she has such power, why should she retreat decisively at this time? Is it because you sense a threat, or is it for some other reason?

If you don't agree with the behavior of those teammates from the beginning, then why not stop it from the beginning? After all, no matter how you look at it, it seems impossible for her teammates to have more say than her.

Saber frowned and carefully recalled everything that happened not long ago. The details of each scene were constantly replayed in her mind, not missing any suspicious place.

Slowly, she discovered a suspicious point——

It seemed that when the nun suddenly appeared and forcibly took the people away, those people were also very shocked, almost speechless, and almost stared out of their eyes.

Could it be said that even they themselves don't know that their teammates have such huge power? Did that nun just break through to a certain level, or was she plotting something all along and keeping a low profile for a long time.

Unlike Artoria, who was frowning in thought, as if summing up the battle, Xiuyu silently withdrew his gaze, looking down at the slender sword in his hand, savoring the strange state of mind at this moment.

She had put in a lot of effort just now. Looking at the winding coastline covered by ice all around, you should know how terrifying her output just now was.

Large areas of the sea have been frozen, and the solid ice exudes an extremely cold atmosphere. The entire ocean as far as the eye can see seems to have become a landscape like large stretches of Arctic glaciers...

But the power to do all this is more about the power of Wang Shu. Even if she hasn't practiced much yet, when she can really stimulate some of the power, she will already have the power of Taiyin Wuji and Ghost God Piyi. momentum.

It can be said to be devastating and invincible!

However, such things did not cause any fluctuation in her mood. It seemed that the fact that she had been planning for so long and finally successfully launched the plan suddenly became not worth mentioning.

There is nothing to be happy about, and there is nothing worth caring about how it will develop in the future. It’s just casual, and I don’t care at all...

Xiuyu knew that there was something wrong with her state, and that she had been affected by Wangshu Sword. After all, after finding a way to transform her physical and spiritual attributes, she did meet the criteria for being the host body of Wangshu Sword.

So after borrowing this sword from Yun Tianhe, as soon as she came into contact with it, the sword immediately regarded her as a host. After all, there was no intelligent program control, and its criteria for selecting its owner were also Simple and crude.

And no one has ever stipulated that Wangshu Jian can only have one master at a time. Therefore, the marks of Xiuyu and Han Lingsha exist in the sword at the same time. Anyone can use it. Whoever is more powerful or closer will absorb his energy.

——It’s that simple.

But the impact is really terrible. Han Lingsha only awakened the sword, but never actually used its power, so it's not obvious yet. On the contrary, Xiuyu came from behind. After actually using Wangshu's power, the eroded progress bar suddenly shot up, surpassing Han Lingsha.

However, after only using its true power for a short time, Xiuyu noticed that the cold power penetrated into his bone marrow, taking root like a gangrene attached to the bone.

Although it is only a slight trace at present, it will continue to grow as you practice or continue to use Wangshu Sword, bringing serious hidden dangers to your body and mind...

The body will be afraid of the cold, even in the dog days of summer, under the scorching sun, it is difficult to feel the slightest warmth; the mind will gradually be suppressed emotions, as if being trapped by thousands of years of ice. Covered, gradually became extremely indifferent, until he no longer recognized his relatives and became cold-blooded and ruthless.

If you want to resist such a tendency, you must combine the power of Xihe with Zhiyang Zhili, so that you can perfectly offset the erosion of Wangshu cold poison... If not exactly the same, with completely opposite attributes and completely counteracting effects, Xihe With such power, other Zhiyang spiritual beings probably would not be able to exert such a perfect mutually canceling effect.

No wonder the sword masters of the two swords need to practice with each other. This is also an inevitable requirement for coordinating yin and yang and using the power of the other sword to maintain their own status. Otherwise, although the sword master's cultivation level can easily advance by leaps and bounds, and it will be like a broken bamboo, but It will definitely lead to loss of control and self-destruction.

This is a high-risk, high-reward path, and quite dangerous.

Xiuyu inserted the Wangshu Sword into the beach at the seaside. She no longer had direct contact with this dangerous fairy sword for the time being. She worked hard to mobilize herself and disintegrate the influence of the cold artistic conception on herself.

On the horizon not far away, there were two sword lights patrolling, seemingly uneasy, and they had to be careful to ensure safety.

And the two sword lights belonged to Murong Ziying and Dao Run respectively... These two people who were at war with each other before, under the threat of sudden foreign enemies invading Jimo and almost massacre of the town, they had no choice but to put aside their prejudices and join forces for the time being.

And it is conceivable that after this incident passed, even if Murong Ziying felt bad in her heart, she would not immediately fall out with Daorun and his wife and draw swords against each other... The so-called human relationship is often such a subtle one. Things, even the so-called Taoist cultivators and worldly swordsmen, are not immune to the secular world at all.

It can’t be said that before they joined forces to fight against the enemy and were unanimous in dealing with the outside world, but after the enemy retreated and the threat was removed, they immediately turned against each other and became ruthless and stopped recognizing others when they put on their pants, right? No matter how strong-tempered Murong Ziying was, she would never be able to do such a thing.

"Xiuyu."

When the sword light fell, the young swordsman in blue and white clothes didn't even look at the abandoned disciple of Shushan beside him, and directly cared about his nephew——

"How are you? Are you okay?"

"I have nothing to do. I'm sorry to worry you, Master." The girl said calmly, without any restraint in her tone.

"It's fine. It's just that this sword... is a bit strange. It has such terrifying power." Murong Ziying nodded, still looking at the frozen sea uneasily, "I'd better give it back. Yuntianhe... no, it's best to leave it to me for safekeeping first. I will ask the leader later to see if there are any problems."

"That's fine." The girl didn't object and handed over the Wangshu Sword directly.

She did not doubt Murong Ziying, after all, the other party was not such a person, nor did she covet it after seeing the power of the fairy sword, so she wanted to take it for herself. But she really felt that the power of this fairy sword was too strong, and she was worried that it would hurt her or Yun Tianhe.

After all, sharp weapons can hurt others as well as yourself. If one's own ability is not enough to master such a magical weapon, it is often like a child dancing with a sledgehammer, which is harmful but useless.

"The previous group of people seems to have retreated. I...I have just searched hundreds of miles around, and I can't see any trace of them anymore. I just don't know if they are related to the previous thieves..."

Murong Ziying took the Wangshu Sword, put it into the sword gate behind her, and then spoke seriously.

"And it's still unclear whether those evil spirits who retreated today will come back tomorrow, so in my opinion, it's better to wait here for a while and wait for that one to return before making a decision..."

Although I was in the valley, I was delayed for a while when I came out, and I was not able to see the whole story from the beginning.

But Murong Ziying also knew some of the inside story. He knew that a group of evil spirits raided Jimo today, and happened to meet the immortal who was wandering away when he came back. As a result, he hit the steel plate... He had some doubts that the immortal had foreseen this incident. will return to Jimo at this time.

Otherwise, it's impossible to come back just for yourself and others, right?

However, that group of people was not just a small group of people, but a very powerful group of people. The feeling of oppression brought by the strange woman after that was no less than that of the immortal... This made Murong Ziying very worried.

At this time, he felt that it was best to stay here in Jimo, lest those evil spirits come back again, and he and others could at least delay it for a while.

"This matter is all up to my uncle..." Xiuyu nodded, and then pretended to be confused and asked, "But speaking of which, why did my uncle and others suddenly appear here?"

She had a legitimate reason, and she came to Jimo a few days earlier than the protagonist group.

Therefore, asking the question at this moment feels confident, and at the same time it can dispel the other party's doubts about this aspect.

"This..." Murong Ziying was shocked and hesitated, "Actually, we are mainly here this time to find a cold weapon called Guangji Hantu. As for why, I can't tell you Xiuyu for the time being. …”

"Guangji Hantu? I seem to have heard of this before -"

Although Murong Ziying has always been deliberately ignored by Murong Ziying as a transparent person, Dao Run next to him is happy to see the result. At least this is better than the aggressive and tense situation before. This shows that the other party has already turned a blind eye. Just one eye's thoughts.

So at this time, when he heard some familiar terms, Dao Run quickly spoke and planned to continue buying Murong Ziying's favor——

"That cold weapon seems to be in the hands of the local mountain god. I don't know if you know him. His name is Xia Yuanchen. We all call him Xia Shusheng..."
