Chapter 28 (End of Volume 1) This world, here I come
In the dark room next to the secret room, Yuwen Jianxue and the surviving people were all immersed in the shadow of the furbolg.
The ubiquitous suction force rolled in, getting stronger and stronger, and seemed to swallow up all Yuwen Jianxue's flesh, blood, and bones.
Perhaps, in a short while, Yuwen Jianxue will turn into a pool of blood mist like the soldiers who died in the shadow before.
She heard Pei Ji say from behind her: "I'm dead this time. It's all because Liu Wenjing, the awakened disciple, is useless."
Liu Wenjing said: "You didn't have to fart yourself."
Yuwen Jianxue gave up hope. If she pushed it forward a few hours, she would never have thought that she would die here.
When the end came to an end, she felt at ease. Just die. All those things would disappear. She no longer had to carry a heavy burden and walk alone.
The secret room behind him suddenly trembled.
Immediately afterwards, the virtual images in the room sensed some kind of call, swayed, and instantly got into the secret room next door.
Yuwen Jianxue's vision immediately became clear, and the devouring power lingering around him disappeared.
"It's gone!" Pei Ji shouted: "The shadow is gone!"
The crowd looked around, ecstatic, and shouted repeatedly.
Yuwen Jianxue followed everyone out of the door, and the shadow outside also disappeared, leaving only a clear moonlight.
She took a deep breath and felt lucky to be alive.
The smell of blood wafted out of the secret room next door, reaching only the nostrils.
Yuwen Jianxue walked to the door of the secret room. Li Shimin, Liu Wenjing, Pei Ji and the surviving soldiers also came over, and they all looked at the bloody door of the secret room.
Pei Ji said: "Erlang, there is evil in this place, we'd better leave as soon as possible."
Liu Wenjing said: "After killing thousands of troops and crossing the River Styx in the underworld, you are just one step away from becoming an immortal. You have to go back home."
"I think you are really going to ascend to immortality," Pei Ji tugged on Li Shimin's sleeve, "Go on your own and don't drag me and Erlang into the water."
The two were arguing when the door opened by itself.
Everyone subconsciously took a step back, pointing their swords at the door.
A strong smell of blood came out. Yuwen Jianxue took a sniff and felt as if someone was pouring pus and blood down his throat.
When the blood mist dissipated a little, Yuwen Jianxue saw Tian Deping standing in the center of the room among a faint scarlet.
Everyone was shocked and raised their swords.
"No!" Li Shimin said, "It's not Tian Deping."
Yuwen Jianxue looked intently, and then noticed that the man in the room was just wearing Tian Deping's clothes, but his figure was slender and far from Tian Deping's sinister appearance.
The man also found that the door to the secret room was open and slowly walked towards the door.
The blood mist stepped on the soles of his feet, and the bloody clothes were draped on his body.
When he almost reached the door, Yuwen Jianxue saw clearly that this man had short hair and a pair of eyes that were as clear and translucent as spring water in cold autumn.
The man looked towards Yuwen Jianxue, and Yuwen Jianxue subconsciously looked away.
Liu Wenjing cupped her hands: "Dare I ask this gentleman..."
"My name is Wu Ma." the man said.
…
It was May 16th, the thirteenth year of Daye. This was a night that Yuwen Jianxue would never forget.
But she forgot what Wu Ma said to her master and Li Shimin after she came out of the secret room.
I forgot when the girl Qingxia who claimed to be Wu Ma’s cousin came out from behind Wu Ma.
I forgot that Li Shimin arranged a temporary residence for Wu Ma.
I forgot that the master spent half the night looking for the treasure in the county magistrate's house.
I just remember standing at the gate of the County Cheng Mansion, looking at the dancing horse’s retreating figure under the moonlight, and suddenly said:
"Please wait a moment."
The dancing horse turns around.
She said: "Is it you who was whispering in my ear just now in the front yard?"
Dancing Horse nodded.
"You almost killed me."
"I will return it to you in the future, and I will keep my word."
As he spoke, he waved to the soldiers leading the way, and they went together.
He walked forward under the dim moonlight.
There were two people clearly accompanying him, but his figure was strangely lonely.
As he walked further and further away, the shadows became blurred, but people began to hum strange songs.
The melody is weird and the lyrics can't be heard clearly.
She listened to his strange songs and watched him disappear into the night.
