Chapter 177 The Revenge of the Demon Slayer (End Chapter 12)
The disguise that had lasted for several months was suddenly exposed, and the embarrassment and panic suddenly fell. The whole room fell into a long silence, except for the patter of rain outside the window.
Yuwen Jianxue had imagined countless times how he would meet Dancing Horse again in his original form, and even specially designed seventeen versions of a chance meeting, but he never thought that fate would choose such an embarrassing way for him.
"You're fine, cool girl." The dancing horse's joking voice pushed the awkward atmosphere to the extreme.
Yuwen Jianxue swallowed her throat. As her head buzzed, a black vortex the size of a fist appeared out of thin air in the humid hut.
The whirlpool turned faster and faster, and it sucked Yuwen Jianxue into it in an instant. Wu Ma wanted to escape, but he should have been able to escape, but the moment he saw Yuwen Jianxue being involved in the whirlpool, he knew that his fate was destined
He couldn't leave, so he had to be dragged along.
At the moment when the whirlpool turned dark and dark, Wu Ma gradually calmed down. He guessed that this was probably another illusion of divine decree. This was good. After Wu Ma entered the third level, he had not received a personal divine decree for a long time.
Mission—Probably because the Awakening Tower needs to balance the strengths of each family.
When the Ruby Pagoda first emerged, Wu Ma also planned to seize the opportunity and try every means to create a few more illusions of personal divine will. Who would have thought that the illusion did not attract him, but he was provoked by Li Hongyu every night. This time, Wu Ma got it wrong.
Ma is determined to harvest a ball of light and take it back.
…
When Wu Ma woke up from the haze, what he saw was Yu Wen Jianxue's face with a concerned expression. Before he could speak, he heard Yu Wen Jianxue say in a voice that only he could hear: "Don't say stupid things.
We are husband and wife." Looking around, there were more than a dozen unfamiliar faces, their eyes full of curiosity.
After a short adaptation period, Wu Ma finally got a rough understanding of the background of the world he was in at the moment from an official organization called Zhenyao Pavilion in the small town where they came.
This is most likely the follow-up era of the Divine Decree of the Two Realms Mountains. Decades ago, the seal of the Ge Realm located on the top of the Liang Realm Mountains was unlocked by a man named Liu Yousheng. As a result, there was a gap between the Tatar Demon Realm to the west and the Tang Human Realm to the east.
The originally tight Iron Curtain was opened slightly at the foot of the Two Boundaries Mountains.
Although this small corner was sealed by a Taoist priest wearing tattered robes that night, before that, there were still hundreds of monsters from the Tatar monster world that passed through the Iron Curtain and flowed to every corner of the Tang Dynasty.
From then on, accidents of monsters cannibalizing people continued to occur, and gradually became a common phenomenon in the Tang Dynasty. The imperial court established a monster suppression department, and various counties and towns had more monster suppression pavilions. The government recruited many monster suppression masters, and many civilians
Many monster slayers have been killed. But in fact, over the years, only a handful of monsters have been killed, and stories of ordinary people being eaten by monsters are happening every day.
While it was temporarily unclear what task God wanted Wu Ma and Yuwen Jianxue to complete, they followed the initial settings and requirements given by God and lived a life very similar to that of a couple.
Before that, they had experienced a similar long time together.
It was during the years when the two of them first entered the Two Worlds Mountain God's Order. Yuwen Jianxue, as a complete outsider, temporarily lived in Liu Yousheng's house and accepted the meticulous care of Liu Yousheng's mother-in-law.
At that time, the two of them were not very familiar with each other, and Yuwen Jianxue always had an indelible prejudice against dancing horses. Those were the days when they were familiar with each other and explored each other, like two friends walking side by side.
Getting closer and closer.
Before that, they had experienced a similar life as a couple.
It was an extraordinary move to fulfill Liu Yousheng's mother's last wish before she died. They spent the whole night in the nominal bridal chamber of Liu Yousheng's family, even destroying the wooden bed, but there was no substantial breakthrough or any cause for concern.
The suspicion of a person who leaned against the wall to listen to the room in the middle of the night also made Liu Yousheng so strong and strong that he could last all night and ruin the bed. Rumors have been circulating in Liujiazhuang for decades. People in the village were once worried about Yuwen Jianxue's body.
I am constantly worried about whether I can eat it well.
But this time they got along completely different from the previous two times - apart from the seamless integration between husband and wife, they did all the things that a husband and wife should do.
Yuwen Jianxue learned superb cooking skills that reached the upper limit of this era, and changed her tricks every day to satisfy Wu Ma's ever-increasing food needs; learned skilled weaving skills, and exchanged the high-quality cloth for a lot of coins, abundantly
To support the family's income, Wu Ma became the most experienced hunter, hunting all kinds of wild beasts in the dense jungle without missing a beat. Those delicacies became the most perfect ingredients in Yuwen Jianxue's iron pot.
They gave each other the most affectionate nicknames and became familiar with each other's preferences and habits, so much so that they could understand with just a glance that he wanted to go to the market to buy groceries today and she wanted to go for a walk in the suburbs in the clear night. They were close to each other.
The old couple held hands, hugged each other, and even tried to use kisses to confuse God so that it would give him hints to complete the task. They just didn't take the last step.
They also tried to leave the town where they had lived for a long time and returned to Liujiazhuang to look for old acquaintances. They even wanted to see their mutual good friend Liu Yanzhi. But the transparent light curtain wrapped on the outskirts of the town clearly reminded the two of them:
It's not time to leave yet.
In a long and short period of time, the legendary evil monster that eats people without spitting out their bones seems to have had the idea of fulfilling the beautiful "love" in the world. It never disturbed the peaceful and beautiful life of the two people, so much so that they forgot about it for a while.
You are in a world of divine will that requires you to complete complex and difficult tasks before you can leave.
They are becoming more and more accustomed to the days of coexistence of daily necessities, food, rice, oil, salt and wind, flowers, snow and moon, and plan to maintain such a life until their gray hair must be laid to rest.
Until the day when bad luck struck - Yuwen Jianxue, who went to the market with the newly woven cloth in her arms, had not returned for a long time. Wu Ma searched all the places she might go, but in the middle of the night when she was ragged and seemingly crazy, she left the demon town.
The news about Yuwen Jianxue being eaten by the tiger demon came from the mouths of those demon-suppressing masters in Tingting who wore decent-looking Taoist robes but were of no practical use.
Wu Ma refused to believe any similar rumors, until that midnight when he saw Yuwen Jianxue's lower body with the bite marks of the tiger demon. Then he remembered that he was actually in a malicious, illusory and real divine fantasy.
Among them, the awakened disciples who die in the illusion will also die permanently in the real world.
The dancing horse fell into great sadness, as if he had really entered the age of the living dead when he was widowed.
Wu Ma dug a new grave for Yu Wen Jianxue, and in front of the grave stood a tombstone without any words. People attending the funeral asked him why he didn't engrave words on the tombstone and write down the dates of A Xue's birth and death.
"I want the blood of monsters to be used as ink to write an epitaph that will never dry out." Wu Ma said.
The moment he finished these words, the long-lost divine decree finally gave him the first hint of this illusion - it was the back of a man carrying a heavy sword and full of murderous intent, with twelve figures floating above the image.
