The masked man did not stop Guoguo from finding an exit in the maze.
Even those regular shapes that can be seen everywhere have never appeared in front of the girl's eyes, as if they are deliberately avoiding her.
So Guoguo's journey seems to be smooth.
However, everything she experienced was far from as easy as it seemed.
Just because every minute and every second, the bloody scene of her parents being mercilessly beheaded by masked men appeared in her mind, and it never stopped for a moment.
once again...
Ten times...
A hundred times...
Thousands of times...
Just walking from one end of the passage to the other, she had watched the scene of her parents' death thousands of times.
Every beheading was like a sharp knife stabbing into her chest, enough to make her heart-broken and grief-stricken.
Thousands of times, what is that concept?
This was just one passage. She didn't know how many more passages there were behind her, nor how far away she was from the exit.
The tears have dried up, the vision has become blurred, and even the nerves are gradually becoming numb.
The heartache seems no longer as severe as it was at the beginning.
Sadness, like the strong wine in the cellar, is getting stronger and stronger, unforgettable.
All of this is naturally caused by the masked man.
I don’t know what method he used to be able to directly control what Guo Guo saw in his eyes and heard in his ears. His methods were so weird and unpredictable that it was simply shocking.
When they reached the end of the passage, Guoguo's face was pale, his eyes were dull, and his breathing was chaotic and rapid. He fell to one knee on the ground, and his left arm holding on to the stone wall couldn't help shaking, and he was almost unable to support his body.
Looking up, the front was still dark and dark, with no end in sight. The girl's heart finally sank to the bottom.
She had a vague feeling that she might not be able to hold on until the moment she found the exit.
...Among the fragments of heaven at the four exits of this maze, there are two fragments hiding the remnant souls of your parents...
...They have to go through thousands of times, tens of thousands of times every day, the cycle repeats, and it never ends...
Just when she was in great pain and despair, and almost gave up moving forward, she suddenly recalled the words of the masked man in her mind.
My father and mother are suffering from this pain every day!
How could I fall down here?
We must rescue them!
The girl gritted her teeth, and her eyes suddenly shone with unprecedented firmness. A powerful force surged out of her delicate body from nowhere, and she stood up, moved her legs again, and moved one foot deeper and the other shallower.
Towards endless depth.
…
"Hey, how does this thing work?"
Shi Dou jumped behind the masked man, holding a sparkling diamond-shaped gem in his palm. Sometimes he put it in front of his eyes to observe closely, sometimes he put it to his ear to listen carefully, and even stretched out his tongue to lick it.
"Eat it directly?"
"It's not impossible to eat it directly."
The faceless man moved forward slowly and replied calmly without looking back, "However, it cannot exert its true power. I will take you to find the second fragment first, and then I will teach you a set of techniques. You can
Lets you fuse the pieces better.”
"cut!"
Shi Dou glanced at his mouth and complained impatiently, "It's really troublesome!"
"Since you are following me, I can be considered your boss after all."
The masked man's tone remained calm, "Can you be more respectful when talking to the boss?"
"You just gave me a fragment, and you want to show off your power as the boss?"
Shi Dou was unmoved at all. He threw up the fragments in his palm, caught them, threw them up again, and caught them again. He had a great time playing and said with a chuckle, "We'll talk about it after we get the second one!"
"That's natural."
The masked man's footsteps stagnated, and his voice instantly became ethereal, "But I want to remind you that if you violate the agreement with Heaven, the consequences will not be something that any living being in the world can bear."
"I know, I know."
Shi Dou waved his hand impatiently, not taking his warning seriously at all, "What are you talking about? Come on, hurry up!"
"It's good to know."
The masked man nodded with satisfaction and said nothing more. Instead, he continued to walk quickly, turning left and right. He was very familiar with the maze without any hesitation.
His footsteps were unimaginably fast. With Shi Dou's speed that even Taiyi didn't dare to underestimate, it was extremely difficult to chase him. There were a few times when he almost lost him at the corners of the passage.
Like this, in just half a moment, a faint light appeared at the end of his sight.
"arrive."
The masked man said calmly, and then he flashed and appeared at the other end of the passage at an incredible speed.
Shi Dou followed closely and soon found a high raised stone platform in front of the exit.
Located above the stone platform is a sparkling diamond-shaped gem.
From the appearance, it is almost the same as the one in his hand.
"Not urgent."
Just when Shi Dou was about to reach out and grab the gem, the masked man suddenly stopped him and said, "Wait a minute."
"What are you waiting for?"
Shi Dou was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at him in confusion.
"Waiting for someone." The masked man replied calmly.
Shi Dou's eyes wandered back and forth between the raised platform and the two gems in his palm, with a complicated light shining in his eyes, and he hesitated for a moment.
Before it could make up its mind, two figures suddenly appeared in another passage in front of the exit.
The monkey took a closer look and jumped up in fright.
It turns out that the next two people were the masked man and Taiyi!
Why are there two?
Shi Dou looked at the masked man in front of him, and then at the one next to Taiyi. His face was full of confusion and confusion, and he suddenly felt that his brain was not working hard enough.
The same expression also appeared on the face of Taiyi opposite.
The strange phenomenon of two masked men appearing at the same time was obviously beyond the expectations of one man and one monkey.
But the next scene became even more bizarre.
I saw the two masked men suddenly taking steps towards each other without hesitation, and soon they were within a stone's throw of each other.
Then, under the incredible gazes of Taiyi and Shi Dou, the two figures completely overlapped and merged into one, turning into a masked man.
"Sir, what are you..."
After a long while, Taiyi slowly came back to his senses, with a look of shock on his face.
"Have you forgotten? I am the way of heaven."
The masked man replied in an understated manner, "There are thousands of incarnations of the way of heaven, and they are everywhere. Why does this little trick count?"
"I admire you too much."
Taiyi was silent for a long time, and finally sighed.
A look of surprise flashed in Shi Dou's eyes, and his gaze wandered back and forth between the two of them, and he was unusually quiet.
Even though he didn't understand what the two were talking about, Taiyi's respect and humility when facing the masked man still made him inexplicably irritated and unhappy.
"You should recognize it, right?"
The masked man pointed at Shi Dou and asked Taiyi.
"I recognize it."
Tai glanced at Shi Dou and replied without thinking, "He's just a monkey who doesn't understand the rules."
"A monkey who doesn't understand the rules?"
As if he didn't expect him to answer like this, the masked man was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed and said, "The way you described it couldn't be more accurate!"
"Did this rogue monkey offend you?"
Taiyi clasped his fists and said respectfully, "Why don't you let Taiyi share your worries and take its head?"
"It seems that you guys had some festivals in the past."
The masked man chuckled and shook his head, "But it has surrendered to me. From now on, you must get along well with it."
"Since the Lord said so..."
Taiyi glanced at Shidou's strong body from the corner of his eye, and the look of surprise on his face flashed away, and then he replied respectfully, "Taiyi should obey his orders, and count him lucky."
"very good."
The masked man nodded with satisfaction and said, "Let's wait for one more person and deal with her, and I will teach you the secret of fusing the fragments."
"Your Majesty's love."
Taiyi couldn't help but be overjoyed, "Taiyi has nothing to repay."
"Isn't this a coincidence?"
A smile flashed in the masked man's eyes, and he suddenly looked up at the dark passage behind Tai Yi, "As soon as I mentioned her, she arrived."
Taiyi turned around when he heard the sound, and what he saw was a delicate face as pale as paper, dripping with sweat.
Fruity face!
The girl's originally bright eyes no longer had any luster, and her face had no color at all. Her face was haggard and her expression was sluggish. Her slender body was leaning against the stone wall, trembling slightly. If she hadn't grabbed the wall with both hands, she might have died.
He had been unable to stand steadily for a long time and fell to the ground. His appearance was so miserable that it was impossible to describe it in words.
The moment he saw Taiyi, Guoguo's dim eyes suddenly shone with a gleam of surprise.
Their eyes were tightly intertwined and they did not separate for a long time.
Is this still Guoguo?
Looking at the extremely haggard face in front of him, Taiyi was in a trance, and the scene of the first meeting between the two emerged in his mind...
It was an afternoon two years ago, the sun was shining brightly and the weather was pleasant.
At that time, he had not yet become a disciple, and there was no friendship at all between him and Zhong Wen.
So Zhong Wen just left him alone in the garden of Shijue Palace, ignored him, and hurriedly went to create a human being with Shi Yu in his arms.
"Where did this brat come from?"
Taiyi was unfamiliar with life and the place. He was at a loss for a while. He didn't know what to do. He could only wander around in the garden. After walking for a while, a clear and sweet sound suddenly came from his ears, "How dare you"
Trespassing into my Shijue Palace without permission!"
When Taiyi asked for help, what he saw was a beautiful and thin girl's face and a pair of big watery eyes.
As bright as a star, but with a hint of melancholy and a hint of loneliness.
