Chu Qingxiao's hand holding the note was trembling.
His hand slowly dropped, and the note fell from his hand and fell to the ground.
He shook his head and kept saying: "This... this is not true..."
"This is not true..."
The expression on his face was almost on the verge of collapse. He looked at everyone, but his steps kept retreating, as if he was trying to escape from something.
"You are a smart man. In fact, you have noticed the clues very early, but you just don't want to think about it..." Zhu Yuan's voice sounded at this time.
These words seemed to remind Chu Qingxiao, and Chu Qingxiao's body trembled.
Zhu Yuan is right.
In fact, everything has already been revealed.
Chu Zhaozhao was only a disciple of the Third Realm. How could Tianxuan Mountain send such a disciple with low cultivation level to go alone to Wuling City, which was besieged by Zhuyin?
Obviously, in the eyes of Tianxuan Mountain, there is no danger in Wuling City now...
In other words, there are no living creatures anymore.
The silver that her wine shop delivered was of high quality, but it was stamped with a year number that he had never heard of, such as the twelfth year of Chongsheng. But what stupid thief would use the high-quality silver to make counterfeit money?
Even though Dayu changed his reign name starting from the eleventh year of Qingyuan, a full twelve years have passed since the time in his memory...
Twelve years is enough time for a child to grow into a strong man, enough time for a young girl to become a wife and mother...
But twelve years later, the people in Wuling City were still the same as before.
them……
They are a group of wandering souls forgotten by Dayu and forgotten by time, trapped in the endless winter of Wuling City...
As he understood all this, the door that had been closed in Chu Qingxiao's mind suddenly opened.
All the memories flooded into his mind at this moment.
He remembered the old Taoist priest, the somewhat lonely old man in Xuandu Temple. He liked to mess with the peach groves in his temple, and he also liked to sit alone in the peach groves in a daze.
Chu Qingxiao was caught by Zhao Nianshuang when he took him into the peach forest and stole peaches.
But the old man just said with a smile: "My child, don't fall when you climb up and down. If you want to eat peaches, come to me and I will pick them for you."
He is like this, taciturn but gentle as jade.
He also remembered the six months since Wuling City was besieged, the struggles of the people in the city every day, and the despair every time someone died.
No reinforcements, no future.
There are only times of rage and powerlessness.
He still remembered that when the city was broken, the evil beasts were like a tide, they destroyed everything they could destroy, and tore apart everyone they saw.
Whether it is an old man or a baby waiting to be fed.
No one was spared.
last of the last.
During the fight between the old Taoist priest and Zhu Yin, he stole the Zhu Yin divine blood. Then, when he was forced into a desperate situation, he suddenly swallowed the Zhu Yin divine blood into his mouth.
The memory stopped abruptly at this moment, and what followed was the illusion of Wuling City's peaceful and prosperous age...
After remembering everything, Chu Qingxiao knelt down and sat on the ground slumped.
Chu Zhaozhao next to him saw this and stepped forward and said: "Qingxiao, don't be like this, things are indeed very bad, but..."
"But you have actually known the truth for a long time! Right?" Chu Qingxiao turned around and looked at Chu Zhaozhao after hearing this.
At that time, the young man's eyes no longer had the warm kindness in the past. His eyes became sharp, angry, and strange.
Chu Zhaozhao trembled when he heard the words, and when he reached his mouth, he stopped abruptly, not knowing how to answer.
"Of course she knows the truth, but how could she tell you?" Zhu Yuan's voice sounded from the side.
"She wants to leave here, and you are the only one who can help her. She has to use you and let you help her destroy everything about you to achieve her own goals, selfish thoughts, and self-interest. This is the bad nature of human beings, and it's nothing short of ordinary!"
Zhu Yuan's sarcasm made Chu Zhaozhao look ugly, but he didn't know how to refute it.
Chu Qingxiao also had a gloomy face and remained silent.
This situation made everyone around look a little strange.
"No, little bastard, what are you talking about? Why are you still talking to this old bastard in Zhuyin?" Chu Yueshan asked with a frown.
"Yeah! What are you talking about with him? Didn't he say that you can absorb some divine power and then he will be finished? Just absorb it. If anything happens, wait until you kill him!" Wang Dagui also hurriedly agreed.
Everyone looked at Chu Qingxiao anxiously at this moment, but the young man lowered his head, as if he was deliberately avoiding everyone's gaze.
Just when they were confused about what was going on, Wang Che's expression suddenly changed, as if he thought of something. He glanced at Chu Qingxiao and swallowed a gulp of saliva in his throat.
Then he mustered up the courage to look at Chu Qingxiao and asked in a trembling voice: "Are we...all dead..."
As soon as this question came out, everyone present looked strange.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Aren't we living well?" Wang Dagui came back to his senses and cursed angrily.
The people around him also made a noise, and they all sneered at what Wang Che said.
But after this kind of noise lasted for less than ten breaths, it became dead silence...
Wang Che acted as if he had not heard the criticism from everyone, and just stared at Chu Qingxiao without saying a word.
This attitude made everyone notice something strange, and they felt a little panicked for no reason, and they all looked at Chu Qingxiao at this moment.
Facing everyone's anxious and fearful eyes, Chu Qingxiao lowered his head in panic.
"I……"
"I……"
He opened his mouth several times to say something, but his voice was muffled by the uncontrollable crying in his throat.
Chu Yueshan's son, whom he knew very well, felt his heart skip a beat when he saw his appearance, and hurriedly asked: "Little bastard, don't scare your father! What's going on!?"
"Let me help him." Zhu Yuan walked up to Chu Qingxiao very considerately at this time, looked at everyone, and raised the corners of his mouth.
He seemed to be interested in enjoying the fear spreading in everyone's hearts at this moment. He glanced at everyone, and after a while, he said: "You are indeed dead."
"He died twelve years ago."
"It is Zhuyin who has given you the right to survive in the realm of eternal night."
"How is that possible!!! Why don't you fart here!" Chu Yueshan cursed loudly.
"Nonsense! We are clearly alive and well!"
"Yes, he is alarmist!" The crowd followed closely and burst into noisy curses.
Regarding these, Zhu Yuan's performance was always calm.
He just stood there quietly, waiting for everyone to vent the fear that was spreading in their hearts with angry curses, and then after they gradually calmed down.
He just said again: "It is reasonable for you not to believe me, but you can ask this Miss Chu."
After hearing this, everyone focused their attention on Chu Zhaozhao.
Facing everyone's gaze, Chu Zhaozhao also subconsciously lowered his head, clutching the corners of his clothes with both hands, unable to utter a single word for a while, and such a reaction made everyone's faces turn pale.
"Miss Chu, tell me something, I have never seen this scene before, old Chu Sa, don't be afraid, you say..." Chu Yueshan said with a dry smile, but this time, the voice coming out of his mouth was a little dry, and the words
Halfway through his words, his upper and lower lips trembled, causing his tone to become distorted. In the end, he was even more unable to speak.
Everyone became more and more panicked.
But at this moment, Song Guicheng suddenly stood up, with a smile on his face, and spoke loudly to Chu Qingxiao.
"You brat, are you stupid?"
"We are all dead, so what are you afraid of?"
"Absorbing the divine power left by the old Taoist priest, sealing the divine blood, and avenging us, isn't that what you should do!"
Song Guicheng's words undoubtedly confirmed what Zhu Yuan said.
Everyone present suddenly felt dizzy, and one after another they collapsed on the ground.
"How...how is it possible? I had my fortune told just the day before yesterday. The gentleman said that I could live to be ninety-eight..."
"It's impossible. They must be lying to us. They are working together to lie to us."
The crowd began to panic and began to try to use various evidences that they thought were solid enough to deny most of the facts that they actually believed in their hearts.
Chu Qingxiao also raised his head when he heard this. He looked at Song Guicheng, and at that moment, there seemed to be a sparkle in his eyes.
"I forgot to introduce you to you." Zhu Yuan suddenly said at this moment.
"The place we are now is called the realm of eternal night."
"You can think of it as a space that is the same as the real world, but in a different dimension."
"This is a small world dedicated to my god. Here, souls can live together with strangers."
"This is the resting place our god created for the souls of the dead."
"But what you all also know is that thousands of years ago, we were driven into the Black Abyss by your ancestors."
"Several major thrones have also changed owners a long time ago, probably out of fear of us. Your ancestor gods have long inscribed some rules in the world for us ancient remnants."
"And these rules may bring you some trouble." Zhu Yuan said this, his eyes fell on Chu Qingxiao with news.
"You dead souls have stayed in the Realm of Eternal Night for too long, and your souls have long been contaminated with the breath of candle yin, which is not tolerated in your world. Once the Realm of Eternal Night is broken and you appear in this world..."
"Guess what interesting things will happen?" Zhu Yuan asked, turning his eyes to look at everyone with a smile.
They were so frightened that they lost their souls. How could anyone think of responding to Zhu Yuan's question? Their faces were filled with horror and they sat on the ground blankly.
Zhu Yuan didn't care, he narrowed his eyes and the smile on his face became even brighter.
"The soul without the protection of the body is as fragile as glass."
"In just a moment, your souls will be strangled by the mighty force of heaven and earth, and your souls will fly away, leaving nothing behind."
