Chapter 471 Madness

The night in the town was gloomy and dark.

A red moon hung high in the sky.

The blood-red light fell down, painting everything dark red.

Whether it was various buildings or the street ground, it seemed to be soaked in blood.

The only difference was the figure of the "childhood sweethearts".

In this extremely abnormal town, only the two of them looked relatively normal.

At least the two of them still maintained their human appearance.

And they were not stained by the red moonlight, and projected a bright red color like other things.

However, from another angle.

They were the most abnormal.

Everything else was reflected by the red moon, as if it was eroded and soaked by blood.

As a result, only the two of them did not carry the moonlight, and they looked unique.

It was like wandering outside the entire mountain town, with an invisible barrier between them and everything around them.

To put it nicely, it is to be unstained by the mud and not be evil in the clear water.

But the more general public's view should be that he cannot fit into the environment and goes against the overall trend, so it is reasonable to be excluded and oppressed.

Wei Tao thought silently, observing the two people's movements and listening to their conversation.

The little boy seemed to have forgotten his existence and did not mention it to the girl named Xiaoying at all.

As for Xiaoying, she did not look at this side from beginning to end, as if there was only a ball of air there, not a living person standing there.

The two chatted for a few words, turned around and left hand in hand.

The blood moon was reflected on the boy's back, and a strange refraction appeared faintly.

It was as if there was an invisible fault there, and even the moonlight could be divided from it.

Wei Tao followed closely behind him a few meters away.

After taking a few steps, the surrounding scene suddenly changed.

When everything stabilized, Wei Tao couldn't help but squint his eyes and look at the simple and elegant building in front of him. There was no blood moon in the sky and ruins everywhere.

The sky was full of stars.

The faint light illuminated the four directions, creating a peaceful and quiet scene.

A handsome young man pushed the door open, followed by a beautiful girl.

The two whispered and behaved intimately.

The aura lingered around them, just like a couple of gods walking under the moon.

Wei Tao stood by the road, his eyes fell on the two people, and a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.

"He is Zhang Ji. He was a little boy in his teens just now, but now he looks like a grown man."

"This should be a sect of cultivation. He and Xiaoying entered it and began to learn and practice spiritual arts."

"But looking at the performance of the two people demonstrating spiritual arts, Zhang Ji's spiritual power is quite sluggish, with a strange intermittent feeling. Compared with Xiaoying's natural agility, it is not on the same level at all."

"Too bad, his talent is really too bad, it makes me a little anxious.

The spiritual power can no longer be said to be intermittent, it's like there is a spatial fault around him, and it's impossible to perform spiritual arts smoothly. How can such a talent become a divine magician, and the first divine magician of the previous generation!?"

Wei Tao watched them get closer and closer until they came to his side.

Xiaoying smiled and whispered, saying something interesting.

She didn't look at the roadside from beginning to end.

It was as if there was no one there, so it naturally couldn't attract her attention.

However, Zhang Ji suddenly stopped.

He turned around slowly, his eyes fell on Wei Tao, and a strange smile appeared on his face.

Then he looked up a little bit and looked at the bright moon in the sky.

"Did you see that moon?"

"Did you find it special?"

Zhang Ji sighed and asked the same question for the second time.

"Yes, it is big and round, and it is indeed very special."

Wei Tao sighed and responded slowly, "It is like an eye, and it is still blinking slowly at you."

"Yes, it is like an eye."

"Or, in my opinion, it is an eye."

"High above, overlooking all living beings, everything in the world is under its control."

Zhang Ji lowered his head, "I first discovered its difference ten years ago, but in the days that followed, the moon hanging high in the sky turned back to the cold and bright silver moon, not the vertical pupil that would blink."

"I remembered this incident for a long time. I don't know how many times I recalled it after growing up, and I thought it was just a childhood fantasy. I The ridiculous and interesting thoughts woven out.

However, now that I have become a spiritualist and have abilities that other ordinary people can hardly imagine, it has turned into an eye again and blinked slowly at me again. "

"Under the gaze of this vertical pupil, I feel that everything is no longer real, even Xiaoying, who grew up with me since childhood, seems to have become a little illusory and strange.

This makes me feel confused and bewildered, and there is an unstoppable fear that is eroding my spirit bit by bit, and I may even go crazy because of it.

So, I must do everything I can to improve my strength, so that I can really figure out what this is all about. "

Zhang Ji said slowly, and the beautiful woman beside him did not move.

It seemed that at this moment, except for him and Wei Tao, everything else suddenly froze, and even time was paused.

"Things like eyes are actually not that scary."

Wei Tao's expression was calm and his tone was gentle, "Even if it is a vertical pupil, it doesn't matter. You still see too little. When you see it more, you will almost get used to it."

"Just like me, I'm always followed by a group of small animals lately. Isn't it time to eat and sleep without delaying anything?"

At this point, darkness surged behind him, and the will of death rose, as if an illusory space independent of heaven and earth had opened up beside a quiet and secluded path.

Another pair of scarlet eyes lit up, looking towards Zhang Ji with him.

"Facing you, I instinctively felt nervous."

Zhang Ji frowned slightly, his eyes a little uncertain.

He stared at the surging darkness behind Wei Tao, and when he looked into those increasingly bright eyes, his whole person seemed to become more and more confused.

"They threaten me, but they make me want to get closer. It's such a scary and strange feeling."

After the voice fell, Zhang Ji didn't speak again.

He didn't turn around to look at Wei Tao again.

It was as if the conversation between the two had been completely forgotten.

Didn't even know anyone was standing on the side of the road.

He just took Xiaoying's hand and began to walk forward slowly.

The two stepped out, and the surrounding scene suddenly changed.

Wei Tao's eyes blurred, and when he saw the scene around him clearly, he couldn't help but frown and his pupils shrank slightly.

The cold wind howled and the snow fell heavily.

As far as the eye can see, there is endless whiteness.

Especially the charging heavy cavalry, the flying flesh and blood, immediately made Wei Tao feel a little dazed, and he inexplicably had the illusion of returning to the Northern Wilderness of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Chi!

A cold light flashed, splashing with blood.

Another head flew high into the sky, spun and rolled and landed on the snow.

Zhang Ji had no expression on his face, casually threw away the long knife full of gaps, opened a wine bag and poured it into his mouth.

He wore an iron helmet, a worn leather armor, and riding boots stained with blood.

Compared with the handsome appearance of Feng Shen when they met last time, there is a huge difference between heaven and earth.

"This style of painting has changed so fast that I am not used to it."

Wei Tao took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, with a puzzled expression on his face.

He watched Zhang Ji drink a bag of strong liquor and then began to draw the uncoagulated blood from the corpse, and suddenly he noticed something was wrong.

"What Zhang Ji performed was not spiritual magic!"

"There is no aura that can be sensed here, so it is very likely that this place is not in the star ring, but within other realms of heaven and earth.

However, the star ring is shrouded in thick fog, and even I can't break the shackles and leave. He is not even a magician now, so how can he stay away from the star ring and come to other worlds? "

Wei Tao frowned and saw a skinny old man quietly appear and come to Zhang Ji and the corpses on the ground.

"You did a great job. The Blood Refining Technique entered the country so quickly, even beyond my expectation."

The skinny old man smiled gloomily, his voice as shrill as a night owl, "Originally, in my opinion, we still need to wait for a while for the blood power you draw to settle and condense, so that it can be digested and absorbed by me.

As a result, your improvement speed is too fast, and I don’t dare to delay it any longer, so I can only significantly advance the time to start. "

Zhang Ji took off his helmet, tore off the leather armor casually, and asked in a casual tone, "Teacher, when are you going to advance?"

"It turns out that you are not pretending to be stupid, but you are really a fool."

The old man slowly raised his hand, and a little blood gathered on his fingertips, "Since I have told you straightforwardly, today is the day of your death."

boom! ! !

Suddenly the red light surged, covering a large area of ​​wind and snow.

After an instant, Zhang Ji sucked up the last drop of blood and threw the seriously injured and dying old man on the ground.

"I originally planned to let you live a few more days, but I didn't expect you to be so anxious to die."

"You know, the teacher has something to do, and the disciple must obey him. Since the teacher wants to die, I have no choice but to fulfill your wish, which can be regarded as the completion of the master-student relationship between you and me."

Zhang Ji said expressionlessly, turning his head and glancing to one side.

Then, he suddenly took a step forward and disappeared into the depths of the wind and snow without any warning.

It was as if a spatial fault had appeared there, allowing him to sink into it silently, completely cutting off his connection with the world here.

Uh-huh!

Wei Tao saw another flower in front of his eyes, but his heart was full of surprise.

The step Zhang Ji just took gave him an extremely familiar feeling.

It turned out to be void.

It is definitely a real magical power in the void.

No wonder there is a strange refraction phenomenon when the bloody moonlight shines on the little boy's back.

There is also the intermittent circulation of spiritual energy, which may be related to this.

Moreover, he actually took a wrong look, and it was only now that he discovered some clues despite his doubts.

What's more important is that Zhang Ji's magical power of vertical and horizontal void seems to be innate. It is more suitable for him than a player like him who has become a monk halfway through inheriting seeds. It becomes more natural every time he performs it, and it is almost to the point of being completely natural.

Next, several scenes changed one after another.

As a bystander, Wei Tao witnessed Zhang Ji's rapid rise in strength, and at the same time he also deeply realized the extreme duality of his character.

One side is black and the other side is white.

On one side is an impeccable saintly gentleman.

On the other side are terrifying demons who do whatever it takes to achieve their goals and regard life as nothing.

And all of this is closely related to Xiaoying.

Her presence or absence is the perfect dividing line between white and black.

During this period, what ran through from beginning to end was Zhang Ji's obsession with whether there was a moon or a vertical pupil in the sky.

It is like a main line that allows Zhang Ji to improve at all costs. Through his own magical power in the void, he will climb all the way up the level of cultivation until he steps into the ranks of the divine magician.

In this process, he was like a god with help and encountered almost no obstacles.

Especially when practicing within the star ring, for other spiritual masters it is as difficult as reaching the sky, but for him it is as easy as eating and drinking.

It was as if he was the son of the plane, with a heavenly body and a spiritual mind. Every step he took was the best choice.

And after becoming a magician, Zhang Ji became more domineering and powerful, and could even lift Xiaoying up by himself, becoming a member of the magician.

Then, Zhang Ji’s senior sister Xiaoying died.

Together with other magicians living in the star core, the cave realm shattered and disappeared without any warning. The true spirit body no longer existed, and it was impossible to die anymore.

Zhang Ji was in the void, and when he returned from the outside world, what he saw was her mutilated body.

Wei Tao stood aside silently, staring at Xiaoying's body with Zhang Ji, and remained silent for a long time.

In the following period, Zhang Ji tried every means to find out the cause of the magician's death, and even delved into various evil methods, hoping to resurrect Xiaoying, who had long since become a withered skeleton.

However, he tried again and again and failed again and again.

It also made him gradually fall into despair, and he began to frantically search for the truth hidden behind it.

Uh-huh!

The scene changes again.

Wei Tao looked around and found that he was back to the small town from the beginning.

A lone grave stands outside the town.

Zhang Ji placed a table in front of the tomb, poured a bottle of wine in front of the tomb, and suddenly turned around to take another look.

At this moment, his eyes were deep and bright, completely different from previous scenes.

Wei Tao was keenly aware of this and was already ready to take action.

Time passed little by little.

The atmosphere in front of the grave was heavy and depressing.

The war is about to break out, and as long as we take action, it will end in a fight to the death.

I don’t know how long it will take.

Zhang Ji looked away and sighed softly, "Do you understand?"

Wei Tao nodded first, then shook his head, "I understand a little bit, but I don't particularly understand."

Zhang Ji smiled slightly and raised his hand to point towards the night sky.

"Did you see that moon? Did you find it special?"

"It's like a vertical pupil, still blinking slowly at us."

Wei Tao said nothing and followed Zhang Ji's fingers.

His eyes fell on the full moon, and suddenly he found that it had really turned into a silver vertical pupil, and it was still blinking slowly downwards.

Wei Tao was silent for a moment and said slowly, "I know that it is the world lord's eye that observes the world. I also know that Senior Zhang Ji travels in the void and constantly uses the shuttle to strengthen his true soul. Being the number one magician is definitely worthy of his name. Return.

However, I am a little unclear about the relationship between Senior Zhang Ji and the Realm Lord. Why can he become a divine magician with the help of God, and then avoid the Realm Lord's indifference towards divine magicians? Harvest.

In addition, I am also a little curious. Since Senior Zhang Ji is dead, how can he appear in the Void Star Road, and even retain a trace of his own consciousness to create such scenes, which can be compared with me, a bystander? Communicate. "

"The silver moon at this time is the core of the star, and it is also the origin of the world lord."

Zhang Ji sighed, "The lower star ring is the foundation, the middle and upper star rings are the branches, the star core is the origin, and the spiritual magicians and spiritual magicians are raised for their own use. The four together become the master of the star ring. Even if Having experienced more than one major disaster, he has managed to survive and make a comeback.”

"As for my relationship with the Lord of the Star Ring, from the moment Senior Sister Xiaoying passed away, we have become unrelenting enemies."

"Furthermore, why I can avoid the harvest of the Realm Lord, maybe it is because of the void. It regards me as the final container to escape and save my life, and gives me some abilities belonging to the Realm Lord.

In addition, the great destruction caused the Lord of the Ring to be seriously injured and on the verge of death and fell into a deep sleep, so I was able to hide and escape and try to survive. "

When Zhang Ji said this, a smile appeared on his face, "But after seeing you, I knew that I should be dead."

"The person I am now is actually just a trace of my true will and obsession that I left in advance with the help of the Realm Lord's power."

"True obsession?"

Wei Tao was thoughtful, and couldn't help but think of the attribution of all spirits, the mysterious thoughts of the Holy Spirit coming from the depths of the dark void.

"You should be able to easily understand what I mean if you bring the true meaning of ancient evil thoughts into your body."

Zhang Ji paused for a moment, and sighed with emotion when he spoke again, "The ancient evil true intention, the supernatural power of the void, the immortal body, I don't know where I found you, but you are able to do such a surprising thing. Degree.

Perhaps this is the main reason why I will risk my life to give you the Cave Heaven Realm. "

The more he spoke, the louder his voice became, and his tone became more and more excited, "With my ability, and the fact that I was born in and grew up in the star ring, even if I have to devote all my energy and energy to find the Eye of the Void Walker as a With help, I am afraid it will be difficult to truly put the Lord of the Star Ring to death.

But you are different. You have received the true meaning of the ancient evil spirit into your body, and you have inherited my cave heaven domain to become a divine magician. As long as the realm master devours and absorbs you, it is very likely to be corroded and polluted by the star core, which will then cause the collapse and disintegration of the entire star ring.

If that time really comes, it will not only recover from the damage caused by the great destruction, but it will also have to go from deep sleep to eternal sleep, and be buried with Xiaoying's death! "

"The collapse and disintegration of the entire star ring?"

Wei Tao took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, "Won't many people die because of this?"

"Not many people, but everyone."

Zhang Ji had a blank expression and a cold voice, "Just like the lower star ring, as its foundation, I took advantage of the situation and directly destroyed it in the last great destruction. I think the middle and upper star rings will be the same."

Wei Tao lowered his eyes, "Some people say I'm a madman, I think you are the real madman."

"If you are not crazy, you can't live, not to mention that I'm already dead. "

Zhang Ji smiled, "To put it another way, my heart had already died when Xiaoying died. Those who are still alive are just zombies seeking revenge."
