Before leaving the academy, Jiang Ning heard a sentence.
In this world, there must always be someone who carries a heavy burden and moves forward. There must always be someone who establishes a destiny for the people, inherits the unique teachings of the past saints, and creates peace for all generations.
At that time, Jiang Ning didn't quite understand the meaning. He always felt that it was a hypocritical mask created by those rotten literati to show off their righteousness.
Only today, when he saw what the old woman did in his perception, did he understand that there are really people in the world who are living for the faith in their hearts.
On Guiji City, the seventy-two demon-sealing formations are all manifested in the sky. Various complex and obscure runes are flowing and slowly rotating, rendering the entire city beautiful.
Jiang Ning thought, if this formation had another name, it would definitely make people feel extremely happy.
But in fact, even changing the name to an elegant and elegant name cannot change the essence of this formation. It is originally a... murderous formation!
If the old woman wants to use the Seventy-Two Demon-Sealing Formation to die with the Tongue Tortoise, there is only one way.
That’s a sacrifice!
Sacrificing oneself in exchange for the strongest power of the Demon-Sealing Formation's self-destruction is the real back-up plan that Shangqing Taoist Wen Fengming left behind to deal with the Tongue Tortoise!
The old woman understands, Su Qingran understands, Wu Shiyi and Jiang Ning don’t understand, but they can see it.
Because of this, what the old woman did makes people cry even more.
"Mother-in-law...."
Under the murmurs in unison, the old woman standing above the soul-locking array showed a kind and happy smile, feeling relieved, relieved, and worthy of the promise she made to that person!
"Feng...Fengming Daozi, I am willing to guard Guiji City for you."
"You will die in the city."
"It doesn't matter, as long as I can help you, Daozi, I...I am willing to die!"
The scene from sixty years ago once again appeared in the eyes of the old woman.
Looking at the young girl and the determination in her eyes, the mother-in-law raised the corner of her mouth and murmured: "To this day, I still have no regrets, Fengming Daozi, I have lived up to your trust." p>
With a smile on her face, the old woman spread her hands and raised her head to face the large formation in the sky. A blazing and dazzling white light suddenly erupted from the center of her eyebrows.
Seeing this scene, the tongue sole looked almost crazy.
It roared at the top of its lungs, looking like a ghost king who controls thousands of souls.
"Old hag, are you really not afraid of death? What good will it do you to die with me? If I run away, you can leave this place where no one can shit and go back to meet Wen Fengming, who you have been thinking about day and night.
?"
"Don't you want to see him anymore?"
The old woman wants to die, but the tongue sole is not.
But the old woman is not willing to listen. What she wants now is to die together and fulfill her original promise.
The white light between the eyebrows burst out into a light beam as thick as a little finger, and rushed straight into the seventy-two demon-sealing formations manifested in the sky.
With the influx of light beams, the formation rotated violently, and even more destructive momentum surged out from it. It overturned the ground with strong winds, destroyed houses, and seemed to turn the entire Guiji City into nothing.
The tongue sole was suppressed by Qing Guang and could not move, but it was not willing to just sit there and wait for death.
They shouted at Wu Shiyi and Su Qingran: "The eyes of the Seventy-Two Evil Demon-Sealing Formation were hidden by Wen Fengming in the old hag's body when they were laid out back then. You can't bear to watch her."
Detonate the formation and there will be no corpse left!"
"Wen Fengming is a hypocrite and a despicable person. When he tricked the old hag into staying, he had already planned not to let her return to Shangqing Taoist Temple alive."
"You claim to be the righteous people in the world. If the master behaves like this, aren't you disciples ashamed?" Tongue Tail roared.
But in the eyes of Su and Wu, they only saw sadness and reluctance, but there was no intention to stop them.
Why can't they see what Tongue Sole said, and can they possibly stop it?
No!
Tongue Sole must die in Guiji City!
Just because they didn't stop it doesn't mean Jiang Ning didn't stop it.
He didn't get along with his mother-in-law as long as Wu Shiyi and others, but in just a few meetings, he developed a sincere admiration for the old woman.
She was even more saddened by her feelings for that Taozi.
Let me ask you, how many people in the world are truly willing to die for the one they love?
"Bronze Compass, withdraw!"
During Jiang Ning's struggle, he resolutely decided not to suppress the Ghost King Gita.
As long as the tongue sole escapes, the mother-in-law does not need to activate the formation to sacrifice, and can also return to Shangqing Taoist Temple and meet Daozi, whom she has had a secret love for since she was a girl.
As for the people of Kyushu, there are already those land gods, so why should a lonely old woman bear the responsibility alone!
This isn't fair!
However, the activated bronze compass did not listen to Jiang Ning at all. Not only did it not dissipate the clear light, but it pressed harder. There seemed to be a vague tendency to cooperate with the old woman.
"I told you to stop!" Jiang Ning roared angrily and kept hitting his lower abdomen with his fists. Even if the blow made him vomit blood, the bronze compass did not stop.
"Stop!!!"
However, everything is too late...
As he screamed at the top of his lungs, the light in Soul Locking Town surged, and in conjunction with the seventy-two demon-sealing formations sacrificed by the old woman, a monstrous light burst out and fell.
The waist-thick beam of light penetrated the old woman's body and descended from the position of the Tongue Solo Heavenly Spirit down to the end.
The roar of the tongue sole also broke out at the same time.
At this point, the Ghost King Tongue Solo, who shrouded Guiji City and had the blood of a hundred thousand creatures on his hands, finally turned into powder, and his soul disappeared...
The price of just letting it die is too high!
At the same moment, Banxian Mountain thousands of miles away.
There was a young man wearing a dark blue broad-sleeved trousers, with waist-length black hair hanging loosely behind his back, and an air of aloofness all over his body. He suddenly turned back and cast his gaze into the distance, full of complexity.
"Have we finally reached this point..."
The young man raised his head and sighed, and said loudly and sadly: "Zheng Yiyi, the 89th generation disciple of Shangqing Taoist Temple, guarded the ghost city for the sect. Today, he has achieved complete merits and deeds. He passed away riding a crane and will be in bliss forever."
"I decree that his soul can be admitted to the Heroes' Shrine of the Shangqing Dynasty, where he can enjoy incense and worship and be admired by all generations!"
……
The Seventy-Two Demon-Sealing Formation also completely disappeared with the death of the old woman. The sun shines through the dark clouds into the city, sweeping away the haze accumulated in the past.

Wu Shi wanted to help Su Qingran, but she glared at her and had to retract his hand.
At the end of the street, Jiang Ning looked dead, dragging his staggering body to support the wall.
Before Wu Shiyi could speak, he took the lead and said in a hoarse voice: "Why didn't you stop me?"
Wu Shiyi and Su Qingran were silent.
They knew what Jiang Ning was referring to, but how to answer this?
"I ask you, why didn't you stop me?" Jiang Ning's voice was raised several times higher than before, and he asked.
Su Qingran said angrily: "Do you think we don't want to stop us? But if we don't do this, the tongue turtle will escape from Guiji City, and how many innocent creatures will die in vain!"
"Are all the land gods in Shangqing Taoist Temple free of charge?" Jiang Ning roared: "They only need to move their fingers to kill a ghost king. Why does it have to be an old woman to do it?"
"My mother-in-law did this for the sake of justice!"
"Fuck your mother's righteousness!"
Su Qingran was so angry that she was shaking with anger at Jiang Ning's words, but she didn't know how to refute.
Seeing the stalemate in the atmosphere, Wu Shiyi coughed twice to smooth things over and said: "I think this ending is what my mother-in-law wants to see, and you see, although Guiji City is still deserted now, it does not have the ghostly atmosphere of the past.
”
"Perhaps in the near future, Guiji City will regain its former prosperity, and my mother-in-law's life will be continued and immortalized in these laughter and laughter."
"Isn't it?"
Seeing Jiang Ning clenching his teeth, still unable to let go, Wu Shiyi smiled bitterly and said: "Jiang Ning, actually I am more sad than you."
"My mother-in-law is gone, and now I have one less home where I can come and leave whenever I want, let me sleep peacefully, and protect me from wind and rain."
Jiang Ning suddenly.
Yes, Wu Shiyi defected from the sect and lived all over the world. I'm afraid he has been living here a lot over the years. His feelings for his mother-in-law must be far deeper than Jiang Ning's.
When his mother-in-law dies, he is the one who suffers the most!
However, when the three of them were setting up a tomb for the old woman, neither Su nor Wu knew the old woman's name, which made Jiang Ning treat them coldly...
On the second day, it started to rain lightly in Guiji City.
After the war, it was time for the three remaining people to part ways.
Su Qingran wants to inform the college about what happened here and take the old woman's ashes back at the same time. Jiang Ning should also go back to Qingling College to prepare for his graduation examination.
Before leaving, Wu Shiyi suggested changing the name of the city. After all, it was their efforts that brought Guiji City back to the light of day, so it would not be too much to change its name.
Jiang Ning thought for a long time and spit out two words.
"Weicheng."
"Why is it called this name?"
"Because the morning rain and dust in Weicheng are light, and the guest house is green and the willows are new. I urge you to drink another glass of wine and go west to Yangguan... No old friends."
