pain……

I feel so much pain...

Every piece of flesh and blood.

Every muscle and bone.

Every drop of blood.

This pain lasts for a long, long time.

This long process reminded Gu Yuan of the time he was in school, sitting in the corner of the classroom, looking at the watch on his wrist, counting the minutes and seconds, and finally silently reciting three two one in his heart, he suddenly raised his head and listened.

Ring the sweet school bell.

A class is only forty minutes, but every minute feels like a century.

Fortunately, as time goes by, the severe pain is gradually weakening.

The golden light was like warm morning light, pouring in through the mottled forest. His soul was at peace at this moment, and he seemed to be able to see particles of dust swirling in the air.

At the deepest point, Gu Yuan saw the door again. At this moment, he was extremely calm, and his consciousness slowly drifted past, like a leaf drifting with the current. It would float up and down, and would have ups and downs, but in the end he would still enter that door.

The door is like a script already written by the gods.

Gently pushing the door open, Gu Yuan was so familiar with everything here, as if he had walked into his own bedroom in his second uncle's house.

The golden light still enveloped a large area, and the area Gu Yuan could see was not much larger than before, except that there was an extra black box on this "platform".

Stretching out his hand, he slowly opened the box. Gu Yuan was a little surprised by what was inside. It looked like a black stone, but it was trembling, perhaps more like a black heart.

He stretched out his hand and tapped it lightly with his fingers, and cracks appeared on the black heart, like an egg about to break.

When the outer black shell slowly fell off, a plume of black smoke rose from it, and it was completely absorbed by Gu Yuan.

The moment he absorbed the black smoke, Gu Yuan's consciousness shivered. A bone-chilling chill quickly swept through the meridians in his body. He shivered for a while before gradually calming down.

In my mind...

It seems like there are some more inexplicable things.

However, Gu Yuan has become accustomed to it, although this time it is a little different from before.

"Huh? What is this?" Gu Yuan suddenly saw that there was something else inside the box.

This has never happened before.

Based on his previous experience, Gu Yuan knew that the "box" or "bubble" behind the door was actually the secret treasure left by the demon soul he had sacrificed. Every time he swallowed it, he would gain some kind of the demon soul.

ability.

Just like the previous spider silk, tentacles, scales, and even the fire obtained after sacrificing the cardinal.

As for the black smoke that appeared earlier, Gu Yuan guessed that it was the secret treasure left by the monster.

Gu Yuan has always had doubts in his heart.

He didn't even know how he was able to deal with that monster.

Although everything was done by himself, even at that moment, his consciousness was extremely clear.

But in that state, I seemed a little special. It was me, but not myself...

But at that moment, even my thoughts seemed to be synchronized.

He was curious, why could monsters be sacrificed, or in other words, devoured?

"Perhaps, my understanding of this door is still too shallow." This is what Gu Yuan thought.

Those boxes and bubbles before were just the abilities left by the demon soul, but this time, in addition to the demon's abilities, there was actually a real object.

He took out the thing and looked at it carefully in the golden light.

a flower.

A rose that looks like it might wither at any time.

…

"Li Siming is back."

This is the word that appears most frequently in Beijing these days.

In an old house, a middle-aged man walked through the screen wall, passed the verandah, and walked into a side courtyard.

In the room, a white-haired old woman was sitting on a futon, holding Buddhist beads in her hand, her brows were kind, and her appearance was kind.

The middle-aged man waited for a long time before he saw the old man slowly opening his eyes. Then he walked forward and leaned down.

"Old lady...he...is back."

"Um……"

"or……"

"don't want."

The middle-aged man heard the determination in the old man's tone and looked a little worried.

The old man said softly: "If he wants to come back, he will come back. If he doesn't want to come back, there is no need to send someone to invite him."

"Yes, old lady..."

…

Outside the capital.

Guanlong Mountain.

The mountains are continuous and contain dragon energy. They are the land of the dragon veins of the three dynasties. The dragon's head is raised like a pearl in its mouth, facing the imperial city. It is also the final destination of many royal families in the history of Daxia Kingdom.

There are many rumors about this dragon vein. Some people say that this dragon raised its head and looked at the imperial city. It was to supervise the emperor and guard the mountains and rivers of Daxia, so that the emperor did not dare to slack off.

Regardless of whether this statement is true or false, at least the implication is good.

After the founding of the Great Xia Kingdom, the imperial city that used to symbolize supreme imperial power had turned into a tourist attraction. Ordinary people could visit as long as they were willing to spend money to buy a ticket. Guanlong Mountain also underwent some changes.

Deep in this mountain range, a base has been built and strictly guarded. As long as ordinary people appear within ten kilometers, even if they appear within ten kilometers, they will be discovered by secret sentries and be persuaded to return. In addition, there was a short-lived flash in the pan fifty years ago.

A certain S-class formation master of the country even spent countless manpower and material resources to set up an formation here, covering the entire base and stopping some people with evil intentions who wanted to spy on information.

Everyone knows that there is such a place in Daxia, but they never know where it is. Moreover, it is not covered with steel as those people imagined, and there are no high-rise buildings. Looking at it, it looks more like a place hidden in the mountains and forests.

A village surrounded by a gurgling stream.

The strange thing is that this stream violates natural science. It does not flow from top to bottom according to the mountain top, but instead flows from bottom to top.

In a courtyard, a cup of tea was brought to the man in a long gown.

"You are someone that Guanlong Mountain cannot even invite. You have to guard Star City for more than twenty years. You are willing to be a squad leader. Don't you feel aggrieved?"

The woman who spoke looked like she was in her forties, and her appearance was not that outstanding. She was wearing a plain brocade cheongsam with a curved front, her long hair was tied up in hairpins, and she had an elegant temperament.

She put the tea cup down and sat in front of Li Siming, still smiling gently.

Li Siming picked up the tea cup, smelled the taste, and nodded lightly.

"As expected of the tea from Guanlong Mountain, it is indeed very good and rare in the world."

"If you come, you can drink this tea every day."

Li Siming put down the tea cup in his hand, shook his head, and answered the woman's previous question.

"If you don't feel aggrieved, how can you feel aggrieved if you do what you want to do?"

The woman smiled slightly: "This is almost the same as before. When we were in the capital, Li Siming of the Li family was the leader of the children, but later no one could figure out that this leader would overturn the table and bring down the whole family.

Those who admire me are in trouble... Since you are here today, you might as well tell me why?"

"There's nothing to say." Li Siming was silent for a moment and said softly, "I just suddenly discovered that those who talk about the hardships of the people every day have raised their status to the highest level from the bottom of their hearts, and they also regard the lives of the people as less than grass.

."

The woman nodded slightly, neither agreeing nor objecting, but there were some words that Li Siming dared to say but she did not dare to say.

Then he changed the topic.

"Tell me, what do you want me to do?"

"Save people."

The woman did not ask who to save, but asked: "Why should I go?"

"I think you should go." Li Siming said, "That...oh no, those people are very important."

The woman smiled softly and said: "You invited me personally, I really should go. What's more, you still come to the capital to invite me. Knowing that you are coming, countless people in the capital can't sleep at night... However, I still have

If you answer a question, I will let you go."

"You ask."

"Why do you always wear a long gown?"

Li Siming raised his head and looked into the depths of the mountain forest, a smile miraculously appeared on his face.

"She said it looks good."

"You won't take it off?"
