The sky and water

"Heart Piercing Ghost Mask, what are you going to do? He has few days left to live, do you still want to kill him?"

If Cheng Shanshui was awake, he would be a little surprised. At this moment, it was Liu Yuanzhang who stood in front of the heart-piercing ghost and defended him.

The heart-piercing ghost held the seven-stringed guqin face to face, and flicked his finger lightly, but it was not the usual beautiful and pleasant sound, but a piercing piercing sound, and just one sound made Liu Yuanzhang and Xu Zigui take a few steps back , holding his head, his face full of pain.

Tian Cheng wiped off the blood on his lips, stood up, and said calmly: "Master, you promised me that you would save him."

Hearing this, both Liu Yuanzhang and Xu Zigui endured their headaches, opened their eyes wide, raised their heads, and wanted to ask something, but they didn't know where to start.The person who pierces the ghost mask can only kill people, can he really save people?

Piercing Ghost Mian ignored them, took a step forward, and stood beside Cheng Shanshui, silent.

The madness in his heart almost devoured his mind, and the overwhelming hatred made him really want to tear this person into pieces. However, he had promised Tian Cheng that he would not be able to kill him.

No one knew what he was thinking. The mask blocked too many emotions. He suddenly stretched out his palm and pressed it on Cheng Shanshui's dantian. His inner strength was so strong that when he exerted his strength, all three people present could see it. , the black aura around him, and the surge of internal force transmitted through the palm of his hand.

Tian Cheng forced out the Broken Vein Poison Gu in Cheng Shanshui's body in time, his meridians were not completely broken, and piercing the ghost face, he used the same type of Xuan Ye Kung Fu to help him repair these damaged meridians.

Extremely unwilling, but he didn't want Tian Cheng to leave him.

The candle flickered on and off for a few times, and finally went out. Fortunately, with Dongxi coming, the little light from the sky can also illuminate Cheng Shanshui's slightly rosy face.

Piercing Ghost withdrew his hand, turned around, faced Tian Cheng, and said, "I have already done what I promised you. Don't forget what you promised me."

Tian Ben's face, which had been filled with joy at seeing Cheng Shanshui's recovery, immediately darkened. He lowered his head and said, "Yes, Master."

Without looking at anyone again, Piercing Ghost flicked his sleeves, turned around and left, Tian Cheng immediately followed behind him and followed him away.

"Tian Cheng!" Xu Zigui shouted boldly from behind them, but Tian Cheng did not turn his head back.

Liu Yuanzhang also froze in place, vaguely understanding something, but he couldn't stop it at all.

After the Shaliang people won the victory in Qingshi County, the situation was no longer optimistic.They used to be a small country. Although they were brave, their numbers were too small to resist the huge country of Juli. In addition, without the siege effect of the jade seal, they never captured any city. They were gradually trapped in Qingshi, and their resources were gradually exhausted.

Qing Jiao is very anxious, he has not won the lives of any descendants of the Li family, even though the Juli Kingdom is in war, Shen'an City is still peaceful through singing and dancing, and he has accumulated decades of accumulation, but he has not been able to touch the root.

If Yuxi is still there, if Cheng Shanshui can be used by them, if the three monsters can gather together... what makes him even more disappointed is the ghost face piercing the heart.As Qingrong's only descendant, although he has magical skills, he seems to be less concerned about revenge than before.

why?In fact, Qing Jiao knew something in his heart, but he didn't want to believe it.

On this day, he walked into the room of Heart Piercing Ghost, and saw Tian Cheng lying on his side in a corner, motionless, he must have fainted, but he was not injured, but his face was paler than usual.

"Master, why is he here?" Qing Jiao squinted at Tian Cheng, with a hint of sullenness in his tone.

It's not that Tian Cheng shouldn't appear in the leader's room. It's very common for him to serve the leader's diet and daily life here. However, he shouldn't faint here. Whenever he loses consciousness after being tortured, he All should be thrown into the cold dungeon, not in this burning room.

Piercing Ghost sat in front of the table, holding a book of war, he didn't look at Qingjiao, but looked at Tian Cheng, and said casually: "Tear down the bones."

Tian Cheng promised him that if he saw Cheng Shanshui, he would be torn apart once.After swallowing the highly poisonous pill, he was very quiet, unable to get up, he just lay silently in the corner, clenched his teeth, and endured the heart-piercing pain.

In the past, he was fed torn bones and thrown directly into the dungeon, but this time, for some reason, the Heart Piercer didn't throw him out, but kept him by his side, watching those beautiful eyebrows frown into a ball, seeing With a head of soft blue hair, drenched in cold sweat, he watched his hands clenched into fists so tight that his knuckles were white.

After the severe pain, Tian Cheng lost his strength and fell into a coma without saying a word. His already drenched black clothes made his already slender figure even thinner, and the sweat flowing down his cheeks fell on the ground. A small puddle formed.

Qing Jiao showed no mercy to him, walked over, and kicked him in the abdomen, Tian Cheng's body arched unconsciously, his brows furrowed again, but he still didn't wake up.

Seeing that Qing Jiao was about to kick him again, Piercing Ghost Face waved his hand to stop him.

"What are you looking for me for?" He put down the military book in his hand, turned his head, looked at Qing Jiao, and said.

Qing Jiao temporarily let Tian Cheng go, approached the ghost face, and said with a hint of cunning: "Master, you are already close to the second realm of Xuanye, if you can break through the second realm, you can break through the city with this lyre alone. Open the door for us to destroy Juli. I recently studied ancient books and found a method that can help you break through the second realm."

Everyone in the world knows that there is Dzogchen among the three quintessences of Taoism, but few people know that Dzogchen is not the final realm, there are two realms above Dzogchen, and the reason why Piercing Ghost Mask is better than Pan Longxing who is also Dzogchen Many, because he is a person who is close to the second realm.He is only close, but he has not broken through for many years. If he breaks through, he may be able to destroy a whole city by himself.

He nodded and signaled Qing Jiao to continue.

Qing Jiao glanced at Tian Cheng who was curled up in the corner, his eyes were full of viciousness, and said: "Use him. He is the ninth layer of Xuanyu, close to the Great Perfection, and I found a secret method, which can forcibly strip the inner strength of Xuanyu and transfer it to you." In the body, strengthen your skill, so that you may be able to attack the second realm." After a pause, he continued: "And, this method will make him very painful, isn't his pain just what we expected?"

Piercing Ghost Mask did not speak, and did not speak for a long time.

Is it really what he wants to make Tian Cheng suffer?Why, when he saw Cheng Shanshui and Tian Cheng talking and laughing, he felt as uncomfortable as burning with a knife.

"Master, have you forgotten how General Qing died? Have you forgotten? The pain of being murdered like that! He spent his life serving the country and the people, but in the end, he ended up like that. He is misleading, but he is still scolding him! He is from the Li family, no matter what, you cannot sympathize with him! With the blood of the Li family on his body, he is doomed to suffer forever, live forever, like falling into hell!" Qingjiao's words were sad, full of anger and The hatred, the bloody scene that year, is still as vivid as yesterday after many years.This is his dead love, living hate, his ultimate goal after suffering in this world for many years.

The ghost piercing the heart was silent, still silent, there was something different struggling in his heart, which made him feel a splitting headache, and also, hatred, seeing Tian Cheng holding Cheng Shanshui and kissing his hair, he gritted his teeth with hatred .

"Okay, I'll do it," he finally said.

The next day, in the execution hall.

Tian Cheng was tied to an iron frame, and the thick iron chains locked his limbs, preventing him from moving.He doesn't know what they are going to do, no one will tell him, he has no right to know, he can only be bound here according to the leader's order, waiting for his own fate.

His face was still so indifferent and dignified, although his heart was already filled with longing, and he was always in pain.

For the past few days, he has been suffering from insomnia, and the ghost face is a little strange. He didn't beat him all day long like in the past. After the bone was dismantled, he didn't torture him again. His insomnia was not because of the pain in his body, but the uncontrollable pain in his heart .

It turns out that it's not just pain and cold that keep people awake at night.

Hearing the sound of the door, he raised his head subconsciously, and saw the Heart Piercing Ghost Face and Qing Jiao walking in, Qing Jiao looked at him coldly, that look seemed to cut him into pieces, Tian Cheng subconsciously fought coldly, Then I heard Qing Jiao say: "Master, you can start now."

The ghost piercing the heart nodded and walked around behind Tian Cheng. Tian Cheng couldn't see him anymore, and didn't know what he was going to do. He just felt that he was pressing his hand on the back of his heart, and a strong force entered his body, like a big hand, To seize his soul.

This is what Qingjiao taught Heart Piercing Ghost Mask, the method that can forcibly strip the inner power of Xuanyu and turn it into his own use.

Pain, unprecedented pain, Tian Cheng's body trembled unconsciously, causing the iron chains to rattle, as if his body was repeatedly pierced by thousands of sharp swords, as if every inch of his skin was being roasted on the flames, as if Countless boulders hit his body uninterruptedly, trying to crush him into minced flesh.

He could already bear the bone removal calmly, but compared to the pain at this time, the bone removal was simply a gentle touch.

Tian Cheng was beaten since he was a child, and he was used to enduring pain, but the severe pain at this time was far beyond what he could bear.He who never struggled normally, but now he was twisting his body crazily, unable to think, just instinctively, wanting to get rid of the terrible palm behind him.

The slender neck leaned back, forming a thrilling arc, the iron chain was shaken vigorously by the limbs, and the wrists and ankles were ground with blood.

At first he still didn't scream, his teeth were almost crushed, and he tried his best to suppress the scream in his throat, but later, he couldn't stand it anymore, he was unconscious in this piercing pain, and let out a hoarse and crazy cry like a wild animal Voice.

"Bastard! Have you forgotten all the rules of Dark Night Island?" Qing Jiao took a barbed whip from the wall without hesitation, and smashed it hard on his chest, blood flowed down immediately, but Tian Cheng He couldn't feel the pain anymore, the pain of stripping his inner strength made him feel nothing else.Still struggling desperately, the whip wound on his chest cracked deeper, and the blood dripped onto the ground, mottled all over the place.

Qing Jiao wanted to fight again, but Piercing Ghost Mian stopped him with his free hand.Qing Jiao stopped, feeling very unhappy in his heart, but then he thought about it, it would take seven days to strip off his inner strength, if he was killed early, wouldn't it be a waste of the inner strength of Xuanyu Nine Layers?

This cruel process lasted for two hours. In the end, Tian Cheng didn't even have the strength to struggle and scream. He couldn't make a sound from his throat, and couldn't even clenched his fists. On the shelf, it seems to have lost its life.

He didn't respond even after pouring several buckets of salt water, and rubbed pure salt directly into his wound, but he still didn't respond. If it wasn't for the slight snort, they might think that he was dead.

"Throw it into the dungeon, pour salt water every hour, when he wakes up, feed him, don't starve to death." Qing Jiao's tone was still stern, and the thugs followed suit with ease. Without saying a word, he watched them drag Tian Cheng out, still standing in the execution hall, silent.

That night, in the middle of the night, Tian Cheng, who had been splashed with salt water countless times, still didn't wake up. Finally, the thugs pressed his head into the big bucket full of salt water, and he woke up coughing. Forcibly fed a bowl of medicinal food to restore strength, and then the thugs kicked and beat him, forcing him to swallow the cold steamed bun in front of him, and then left him in the dungeon alone, and walked away.

landscape……

Shivering from the cold, even though he was extremely tired, he couldn't fall asleep. Tian Cheng recited this name over and over again in his heart, until the eastern sky turned pale, and he fell into a coma again.

These seven days were his eternal nightmare.Such tragic pain lasted for two hours every day, he seemed to be in an endless hell, except for coma, there was pain.

His internal strength was weakening day by day, and his body was also weakening rapidly day by day. In the first two days, he still had the strength to struggle and scream, and finally he didn't even have the strength to do so.On the last day, when he saw the Heart Piercing Ghost Mask and Qing Jiao, his face no longer had the usual indifference, but fear, a profound fear that swallowed his soul completely.

"Master, your internal strength has not yet reached the second level. If you give up now, wouldn't all your previous efforts be wasted?"

In a daze, he heard Qing Jiao's voice and couldn't fully understand what he meant. Just this voice made him terrified.

At the end of the day, there was no fluctuation of internal force in Tiancheng's dantian, and the internal force that had been painstakingly cultivated for many years was completely useless.

He passed out completely, and he couldn't even wake up from suffocation. He still relied on kicking and beating without a trace of reaction.

Qingjiao looked at him, still so ruthless: "Master, he is useless, it is better to cut the grass and roots."

This time, the Heart Piercing Ghost Face did not remain silent, but said anxiously: "No, I keep him, it is still useful. I want him to be my man for the rest of my life!"
