Shen Shiyun said, "Maybe I can reason with them! Tell them that the Soul Severing Tear is just a misunderstanding and that they shouldn't go to the wrong place! "Shen Aotian smiled bitterly." Do you really think that everything in this world can be solved so easily? "Shen Shiyun said. Shen Aotian said, "If what you said was true, the Qing Dynasty didn't need to attack the Great Ming Dynasty. Wouldn't it be much easier to just sit down and reason with them? A few days ago, the Prince Regent invited me to help him. Father didn't want to deal with those troublesome matters. That's why when he was at his peak, he resolutely retired. Of course, he refused. But now, he still can't escape from the dispute. In this chaotic world, it's impossible to pursue a peaceful life! "He clasped his hands behind his back and shook his head.
Shen Shiyun suddenly had an idea, "Then let's go together! Even if it's a pity to take everyone with us, but … "Shen Aotian said," It's useless. If we go together, none of us will be able to escape. Yun 'er, don't be so stubborn! "Shen Shiyun also said firmly," In short, if father doesn't go, I won't go either! "
Shen Shiyun knew that although his daughter was gentle, she would never change her mind. Just as he was worried, the Third Master raised his hand and suddenly hit the back of Shen Shiyun's neck. Shen Shiyun's eyes flashed with sadness for a moment. Then, it turned into emptiness. She murmured, "Father …" Her body went limp. Luckily, Xiao Ping caught her in time.
Shen Aotian was shocked, "Third brother?" The Third Master said, "Second brother, I just helped Yun 'er to make up her mind. If we continue to talk, it will be a waste of time." Shen Aotian pondered for a moment and said, "You are right. This is the only way. Xiao Ping, take Yun 'er and leave this place immediately." Xiao Ping knew that things had come to this point. He could only respectfully kowtow and said, "Master, you are very lucky. Shadowless Mountain Villa will be fine! Yun 'er and I will wait to see you again! "With tears in his eyes, he took the letter and money and carried Shen Shiyun into the tunnel.
Zou Chen watched as the two figures disappeared. He gritted his teeth and said, "Master, let's set up the sword formation!" He had been in the Shadowless Villa for many years and had always been secretly in love with Shen Shiyun. When he practiced the sword, he was especially attentive. He always hoped to please his master and marry Shen Shiyun as his wife. Now that he might not be able to see her again, he couldn't help but feel sad. However, he felt that if he could contribute a bit more, he could also relieve some of his depression.
Third Manor Master said, "Wait a moment, we don't have the heart to die. Since we're on guard, we must be more comprehensive. I will go to the Manor to lay out the Five Elements Eight Trigrams Formation. Although I don't have any extravagant hope that we can stop them, but if we can delay them for a short while, it will be good enough. "" Exactly, "Zou Chen said," The longer we delay, the safer Yun 'er will be. "
Shen Aotian was speechless. He knew that this disciple loved his daughter. Chen 'er was honest and considerate. At first glance, he knew that he was a good man to rely on. In his heart, he also thought that the two of them were a good match. Originally he wanted the two of them to leave together, but he knew that Zou Chen would never abandon the Manor. Suddenly he had another thought, "The Devil Cult won't get the information for no reason. Could it be that the Tear of Severing Soul was hidden in the Manor by someone? If we can find it, we can give it to them if necessary. We can always save our lives. " However, this idea was too much of a fluke. It was absurd. Even if it was true, looking for a treasure in such a big Manor was no different than looking for a needle in a haystack. Moreover, he had never seen the Tear of Severing Soul. Therefore, he didn't say anything to avoid further trouble.
A short while later, the Third Manor Master came back and said, "Big Brother, Second Brother, don't worry. I have already laid out the formation in the Manor. The Devil Cult won't be able to break it for the time being. It will buy us some time!" The Five Elements Eight Trigrams Formation was also called the Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams Formation. Nine was the number of extremes. It was derived from the six lines of trigrams. The Book of Changes said that one gave birth to two, two gave birth to three, three gave birth to all living things. There was also a saying that the Tai Chi gave birth to the two elements, the two elements gave birth to the four elements, the four elements gave birth to the Eight Trigrams, and the Eight Trigrams gave birth to the sixty-four lines of trigrams. The eight positions contained the four elements of water, fire, water, and water, and each of them had positive and negative variables. Zhen and Xun were wood, guarding the east, the Azure Dragon; Li was fire, the south, the Vermillion Bird; Qian and Dui were gold, the west, the White Tiger; Kan was water, the north, the Black Tortoise; Kun and Gen were earth, the center, the Limitless Earth, occupying the Limitless Earth, the Nine Palaces.
"That's right," Da Zhuangzhu said, "but we must not relax. Now we will arrange the sword formation. The key to this formation is the 'eye of the formation'; it can be said that it is the core of the entire formation. If the eye of the formation is broken, the formation will be broken. The responsibility is very heavy, but at the same time, if the formation is seen through, it will be extremely dangerous. I think … "Zou Chen interrupted," Disciple is willing to be the 'eye of the formation'. "
"No," Shen Aotian advised, "your power is not enough, you are simply seeking your own death!" Zou Chen said, "Disciple will not disappoint Shifu's expectations!" Da Zhuangzhu said, "Since your disciple has this kind of heart, you may agree to his request. But we must also be ready to assist him at any time!" Shen Aotian nodded and lightly patted Zou Chen's shoulder to show his encouragement.
That night, everybody was still standing in the main hall with their swords in their hands. Candles were lit on both sides of the hall. The flames flickered, projecting everybody's shadow on the wall. It was both real and illusory, flickering indeterminately, quietly giving rise to a sense of dread. The Zhuangzhu people were all on guard, their ears pricked up to listen carefully, trying to catch the slightest trace of abnormality in the air. They could only hear the faint sound of breathing and heartbeats, adding to the gloominess of the atmosphere.
After a while, a disciple who was about to fall asleep yawned and casually said, "I think the Demon Cult is just so-so. They must have been blocked by Da Zhuangzhu's Eight Trigrams Formation and can't come in!" Zou Chen placed his hand on the hilt of his sword and said, "It's best if they don't come. How dare they come to Shadowless Mountain Villa to cause trouble! If they dare to come here and cause trouble, I will make sure they will not be able to return! "
Suddenly, all the candles on the right side of the hall were extinguished. A woman's voice laughed, "Oh, you want to make sure that the Sacrifice Shadow Cult will not be able to return? How arrogant! " The voice was delicate, and then a figure floated down. Nobody saw where she came from, and they could not help but break out in cold sweat. They thought that if she had suddenly launched a sneak attack, they would not have been able to do anything. Looking at the figure, it was a young girl wearing a purple dress. Her skirt was embroidered with pure white plum blossoms, and a white brocade belt wrapped around her slender waist. Her waterfall-like long hair was draped over her shoulders, adorned with exquisite pearls and jade, making people want to protect her.
Zou Chen shouted, "Who are you?" He knew that she did not come with good intentions, but in front of such a beautiful girl, he was at a loss. His face blushed and his heart raced.
The girl frowned slightly and said with a smile, "Hey, didn't you receive the notice? Did the messenger make a mistake on the way? Sigh, this bunch of useless things! Fine, then I will tell you one more time. To Layman Shen, we have no enmity with you, and we only hope that we will not offend each other. I will say the ugly words first. If you don't hand over the Soul Severing Tear, we will wash your Shadowless Mountain Villa with blood. I hope that you will consider the big picture and choose a day to carry it out. Respectfully, the Sacrifice Shadow Cult. " Shen Aotian had seen this warning as a sign of impending doom, but now, when it was said by her delicate voice, it had a different feeling. It was as if she was just a naughty girl joking with her elders.
Big Landlord laughed, "Ha, you are that Demon Cult's killer? Looking at your age, you are a few years younger than Yun 'er. It seems that the rumors in Jianghu cannot be completely trusted. If we had known that the Demon Cult was so weak, we would not have spent so much effort to set up our defenses! " Ever since his second brother told him about this matter, he had been on tenterhooks all day long. Now that the situation had taken a turn for the better, he felt unspeakably relaxed and sheathed his sword. Third Landlord suddenly said, "Wait, Big Brother, you must not lower your guard. If she does not have any strength, how can she break my Five Elements Eight Trigrams Formation?"
The girl laughed, "What? So those stones outside are called Five Elements Eight Trigrams Formation? Hee hee, it is really interesting. When I was young, I also liked to play with stones and give them strange names. But you are not as good as the stones I made when I was five. Why don't I help you? "From her tone, it seemed that she did not care about the formation that Third Landlord had painstakingly set up. Zou Chen said, "It is not that we are suspicious, but since Miss is so refined, if you really have the ability to destroy the Manor, why have we never heard of your name before?"
The girl said, "Oh, my name is Chu Menglin. I am the daughter of the Hierarch of the Sacrifice Shadow Sect. I am very happy that you are praising me. But you are all looking down on me … Why don't you think about it? The people we have found are all dead. How would you know about them? " Her voice sounded like a girl talking to her lover. It was soft and gentle. But when she said the last sentence, it suddenly turned gloomy and cold. It made people feel as if they had fallen from spring to winter.
Shen Aotian thought that her words were somewhat reasonable. But as the Landlord of a Manor, he could not show fear in front of his disciples. The other disciples wanted to show off in front of their Shifu, so they could not back down easily.
Chu Menglin saw that no one had any reaction to her words. She was disappointed and sighed, "You still don't believe me? There is nothing I can do. Then I will have to trouble you to send your disciples to inquire about it! " After she said that, everyone saw a blur in front of their eyes. It was as if something flashed in front of them. Then, blood spurted out. That thing fell on the carpet and rolled forward a few times before it stopped. When everyone saw it clearly, some of the more timid disciples had already vomited. The Great Landlord's face was also pale. The tip of his sword could not help but tremble.
Shen Aotian used his left hand to support the falling Zou Chen. He had already become a headless corpse. The thing just now was his head. No one could have expected that such a beautiful girl would suddenly attack them while they were talking. Moreover, her attack was so ruthless! Shen Aotian thought about how Zou Chen had followed him for many years. As his Shifu, not only had he not given him any benefits, but now he had to watch as Zou Chen's head was separated from his body. He could not help but feel sad.
The Third Landlord said angrily, "Shadowless Manor and your Demon Cult have never offended each other. We have never interfered with each other's business! Since you came for the Tear of Severing Soul, why did you kill him? "Chu Menglin said," You are suspicious of my identity. What can you do? Fine, now you hand over the Tear of Severing Soul. It is not too late. "
The Third Landlord said angrily, "Heinous demoness, the Tear of Severing Soul is not in our manor. Even if it was, we would not hand it over to you!" Chu Menglin's expression changed. "Don't refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit!" The Third Landlord said, "I should say that to you. You killed Chen 'er, so you have to pay with your life! Disciples, get into formation! " The disciples of Shadowless Mountain Villa were not ordinary people. They forcefully endured their grief and with a few shuffling steps, they already stood in their respective positions.
Chu Menglin looked at them from the corner of his eyes. He did not care about the formation at all. Suddenly, he raised his slender finger and said, "Why is there a vacancy over there?"
The Third Landlord looked and saw that it was Zou Chen's position as the 'eye of the formation'. Without the eye of the formation, the sword formation would not be able to operate. They would be at a disadvantage from the beginning of the battle. "Second Brother," he said anxiously, "the dead cannot be brought back to life. It is useless to be too sad. Quickly come and replace Chen 'er!"
But Shen Aotian was shocked and did not know how to react. Chu Menglin covered his mouth and laughed. "Aiyo, I seem to have accidentally killed an important person. What are you going to do now?" Her expression was like that of a child who had done something wrong and was worried about being punished by an adult. Third Manor Master only felt that this demoness's temperament was ever-changing and he could not understand her. He did not have time to think about it and shouted anxiously, "Second Brother, do you want Chen'er to die in vain? If we kill this demoness, we can sacrifice his soul in heaven. Quickly come and stand in the eye of the formation! "
