The Whole World Is My Crematorium - Chapter 71

Amid the outcry, Xiao Yu’s case successfully stepped onto Gu Louyin’s nameless sword. The two flew towards Pangu Mountain with their swords. The heat wave came in waves, as if to scorch people’s skin. Fortunately, no matter how hot it is, Gu Louyin’s body is always slightly cool, as long as he is by his side, Xiao Yu’s case will not be unbearably hot.

Entering the boundary of Pangu Mountain, the heat rises again. Gu Louyin asked the people behind him, “Are you okay?”

Xiao Yucase nodded weakly, too hot to speak.

Gu Lou said: “Hold me.”

This is not the time to be shy, Xiao Yu’s case moved forward, her face was placed on Gu Louyin’s back, and her arms hugged his waist. The coolness came suddenly, like a long drought and rain, and he couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Gu Louyin’s body is really comfortable, but it’s just too tight – is he like this usually? It was because he was holding him so stiffly.

Xiao Yu’s case was thinking wildly, and suddenly found that he had become stiff, and he didn’t dare to move his head, and he didn’t know where to put his hands.

Stupid, so stupid, where is this still the case of Xiao Yu who is unrestrained and unrestrained?

Xiao Yu’s case was self-defeating in thought, and the hand holding Gu Louyin tightened a little bit.

The two fell on the mountainside. Xiao Yukan saw that Gu Louyin was also sweating a little, and asked curiously, “Are you also hot?”

Gu Louyin’s body was cold in nature, and after being enchanted, he stayed in the ice and snow all the time. The swords of life are all made of ice and snow, and it stands to reason that they will not be as hot as they are.

Gu Louyin put the sword into the sheath and said, “No.”

“But you’re sweating.”

Gu Louyin’s cold and white face flushed slightly, as if he was a little uncomfortable. He whispered: “It’s not that the heat is sweating.”

“Ah, is that…?”

Gu Louyin didn’t say more, and said, “Let’s go.”

Li Yanzhi had already looked for the place below the mountainside when he was exploring the way, and they just had to look up. Xiao Yuan squatted down, touched Jiao Yan under his feet, smelled it again, and immediately coughed violently. No one robbed Gu Louyin this time, Gu Louyin supported Xiao Yu’s case and said, “You don’t have to do it yourself.”

“It’s not in the way.” Xiao Yu said, “There are often mountain fires. Could a mountain fire that burned a mountain like this really exist? Nothing was burned, and no corpses were left. The burning smell has not been around for decades. Scattered, no grass grows in a radius of ten miles, and resentment on the mountain is soaring to the sky, this is not something that can be caused by ordinary mountain fires.”

Gu Lou said: “Qingyan.”

“I guess so.” Xiao Yu’s case looked up at the top of the mountain, the bright moon hung high above it, and there seemed to be ashes fluttering under the bright light. Xiao Yu’s case seemed to have seen the scene of the fire that filled the sky back then, with all the living beings struggling and screaming in the sea of ​​​​fire, and the pain from the burning blue flames was ten times stronger than that of the usual fire. They were tortured on earth, their hair, skin, flesh and bone marrow were all burned to ashes, leaving no traces, as if they had never come to the world.

“The Xiao Yu case?”

Gu Louyin’s voice pulled Xiao Yu’s case back from the illusion. Xiao Yu’s case retracted her gaze, her heart beating a little faster. “Don’t get too far from me,” he said, “don’t leave me behind.”

Gu Louyin was slightly startled and said, “I won’t.”

The two of them went all the way up without seeing anything different. Xiao Yukan gasped and said, “Will Gu Hang, like before, dig a secret hole in the middle of the cliff and hide Qingyan and Earth Soul?”

“possible.”

“Then it will be difficult for us. Pangu Mountain is so big, who knows where he will dig a hole.”

Gu Louyin said: “Go to the top of the mountain first.”

Xiao Yukan kept fanning herself with Bihai Chaosheng, her face was flushed with smoke, her long eyelashes were wet with sweat, and her lips were brighter than usual.

Gu Louyin’s heart was surging, and his voice was slightly hoarse: “It’s still hot?”

“Yes.”

“Would you like to hold hands?”

Xiao Yu’s face felt even hotter, and it was so hot that he was almost incoherent: “Ah this… I don’t have to. I can bear it. When I really can’t bear it, you… Then it’s not too late.”

A dark shadow quickly flashed past the giant rock behind the two of them, and Xiao Yu’s case forgot about holding hands, “Who?”

Gu Lou said: “It’s not necessarily a person.”

The two chased in the direction of the shadow. Gu Louyin was right, this thing really didn’t look like a human being, it was on all fours, with feet on its head, and it ran faster than a leopard. Xiao Yu’s case could only see a phantom behind him.

Gu Louyin’s eyes narrowed, and the chill suddenly rose, and a thin layer of ice condensed on the scorched ground. The shadow ran slower and slower, and after a while, it seemed to be frozen, completely still.

Gu Louyin was the first to catch up. After seeing the true face of the shadow, he frowned and said, “Xiao Yu’s case.”

“Uh-huh?”

“You don’t come here yet.”

Xiao Yu case took back the steps he took: “Why?”

“You might get sick.”

Xiao Yukan sneered, “You think of me as a weak girl? It’s over, I haven’t seen anything.”

Rao was mentally prepared, and when he saw the dark red in the dark, the flesh was sticking together, and it was festering and seeping, Xiao Yu’s case still almost vomited. He forced himself to remain calm and said, “A deer?”

Gu Lou said: “The resentful spirit of a deer, this is its last appearance before its death.”

The only intact part of the deer’s body is the eyes. Its eyes were pitch black and round, looking at Xiao Yu’s case and Gu Louyin, making a weak and pitiful sound of deer crowing.

Xiao Yu said: “It doesn’t seem to be malicious?”

Xiaolu seemed to understand Xiao Yu’s words, and blinked slightly.

Xiao Yu’s case asked, “Why did you suddenly appear here?”

When the words fell, the deer began to struggle, licking his frozen hooves with his head down, and whimpering.

Xiao Yukan thought about it and said, “Gu Louyin, let it go and see.”

Gu Louyin let out a “hmm”, the ice and snow melted away, and the little deer swishly stood up, nodded at Xiao Yu’s case, took a few steps forward, stopped again, and turned to look at them.

Xiao Yu said, “Does it want to take us somewhere?”

Gu Lou said: “It may be a trap.”

Xiao Yuan smiled and said, “If Qingyan is really in Pangu Mountain, the most dangerous place must be where Qingyan is. Even if this is a trap, if we can’t escape, then don’t look for Qingyan’s soul. Let’s go back to practice for 20 years. Besides, we don’t have any other clues.”

Gu Louyin had no objection. The two followed the scorched deer for about half an hour and came to a stonehenge. This formation was obviously done deliberately by someone who wanted to block the approaching person.

Xiao Yukan bent over and asked Xiaolu, “Do you still remember the way?”

The little deer blinked, slowed down, walked into Stonehenge, led the two of them around and around, and finally stopped in front of a dark cave.

Xiao Yu said, “Is there something in the cave?”

The deer bowed his head towards Xiao Yu’s case like a bow, then suddenly turned around and plunged into the cave.

This time Gu Louyin didn’t stop it, “Here it is.”

“Well, it should be here.” Xiao Yuan looked at the dark entrance of the cave with great interest, “I don’t know what the scene will be like after the cave.”

Gu Lou Yin said: “Follow me.”

As soon as you enter the cave, the heat dissipates, as if from summer to autumn, making people feel cool. Xiao Yu’s case said: “Is there an iceberg behind? Or is it like the last time we took Qingyan, there is a dense forest behind the secret passage?”

Gu Lou said: “Yes or not, you can tell at a glance.”

Xiao Yu’s case thought about a lot of possibilities and was fully prepared. But when he followed Gu Louyin out of the cave and saw the scene in front of him, he was still frightened.

He and Gu Louyin were standing at a high place, and below them was a brightly lit, bustling, prosperous and noisy town. A long street runs through the city from south to north, and two rows of dark red lanterns hang under the eaves of the houses on the street, illuminating the whole street as if it were daylight.

Xiao Yu’s case looked a little dazed, and it took a long time before he asked, “Is this an illusion again?”

Gu Louyin shook his head and said, “I didn’t see the opportunity to enter the illusion.”

They will not enter the fantasy world for no reason. The fantasy world needs a switch, just like the sound of the piano heard in the secret passage or Gu Louyin’s soul-calling technique.

Xiao Yu’s case guessed: “Maybe this is a relatively advanced illusion, so you and I didn’t even notice it.”

Since they are here, they are bound to go to the city to explore. Xiao Yu said: “You said the people inside…are they human?”

Gu Louyin said: “Whether it is or not, be careful in everything.”

This city looks small, but the city walls are strong and tall, and there is only a narrow intersection on all sides, which reminds Xiao Yu’s case of a bird cage of the same structure. The owner of this city does not seem to want the people inside to come out. In other words, these people are likely to be kept inside.

The situation here has not yet been clarified, and Xiao Yu’s case does not want to be stunned. There are only two of them, and it’s best to secretly get what they want. If you fight Yunjian Pavilion again and reveal your purpose and whereabouts, the previous effort will be wasted.

There are many guards with swords standing on the city wall. They are condescending and can have a panoramic view of the city and outside the city, but they do not know that two figures are quietly approaching behind them, and they sneak into the city when they turn around.

After landing, Xiao Yu said, “Let’s go to the busiest street first.”

Gu Louyin’s eyes flickered, and he said, “Someone.” After that, he pulled Xiao Yu’s case and hid behind the boulder beside him.

The city gate opened slowly, and a carriage drove into the city. The driver was wearing a black cloak and hood, and his appearance was not obvious. Judging by his stature, he should have been a man. The man stopped the carriage and took off a lantern hanging on the door. After knocking it twice, a pair of slender hands pushed the door open, and then a man and a woman got out of the car one after another.

Xiao Yu’s case recognized the two and looked at Gu Louyin in astonishment. Gu Louyin held his shoulders, signaling him not to act rashly.

Xiao Yu’s case was a little at ease. He thought that the man in the hood was only responsible for sending the two people over, but he didn’t expect that after the two got off the car, he did not get in the car, but walked towards the market with the man and the woman with the lantern and pulled the car. The horse also consciously turned around and left the city.

Gu Louyin whispered, “Wait for me here.”

Xiao Yukan nodded silently, and stayed in place obediently, watching Gu Louyin didn’t even draw his sword, and the hooded man fell to the ground. He walked out from behind the rock, went straight to the two, and said, “Young Master Shen, Miss Cai, why are you here?”

Shen Fugui and Cai Xunian stood upright, their faces calm and indifferent, as if everything that happened around them had nothing to do with them. Xiao Yu’s heart sank, bent over to look at the man lying on the ground, lifted his hood and looked at it, surprised: “How could it be him.”

Gu Louyin said, “You know him?”

“This person is a sword cultivator from the Tianhe Sect. When I pretended to be Shen Fugui and stayed in the Baihua Palace, I got fairly close to him.”

“He’s not human,” Gu Louyin said, “this is not Shen Fugui and Miss Cai either.”

Xiao Yuan stood up straight, looked at the bustling and bustling market, and said in disbelief, “Is this a… soul city?”

“Um.”

“Gu Hang not only took our souls, he also took other people’s.” Xiao Yu’s voice trembled, “He…he took the souls of a city of people.”

Gu Louyin picked up the lantern that had fallen on the ground and said, “Soul-inducing lamp.”

Xiao Yu’s case has heard of the soul-inducing lamp. This lamp oil is refined from corpse oil. When lit, it emits the same smell as the flowers and plants on the roadside of Huangquan, so it can control the soul of people.

“What are we going to do now,” Xiao Yu said, “are we going to move forward with the souls of Shen Fugui and Miss Cai?”

Gu Lou Yin said: “Find them a secret hiding place, and pick them up after the matter is over.”

The Xiao Yu case agreed with this approach. Gu Louyin took them to a natural mountain col, just enough to hide the two of them with a soul-inducing lamp. Xiao Yu’s case also set up a barrier around the mountain to ensure that ordinary monsters and ghosts can’t get close to them. After doing all this, Gu Louyin put on a cape and a hood to block a silver hair. Xiao Yu’s case was replaced by An Mu’s face, and the two walked towards the market together.

After learning that the “people” in the city are all human remnants, Xiao Yu’s case was in the middle of the city, and she only felt cold all over her body. From the outside, these people are no different from ordinary people, they can talk and laugh, and even the cries of street vendors are the same as what he heard in the outer world. Xiao Yu’s case even felt that they didn’t know that they were just a remnant soul.

Xiao Yu’s case walked for a while, and couldn’t help but say, “Gu Louyin, do you feel a little strange?”

“Um?”

Xiao Yukan frowned, “I can’t tell you what’s wrong, I just feel that something is not right.”

Gu Louyin slowed down, his eyes swept over the pedestrians and vendors one by one, and said, “They are left-handed.”

Xiao Yu’s case woke up like a dream. Gu Louyin is right, these people seem to be left-handed.

Gu Louyin said again: “Do you remember what Qian Sang said after we brought Gu Jing back to Yunjian Pavilion two years ago?”

Xiao Yu said: “I can’t even remember what you said two years ago, let alone what Qian Sang was.”

Gu Lou said: “An ancient mirror can not only steal people’s souls, but also give souls to people in the mirror.”

“So these are all people in the mirror who have been possessed?”

“Um.”

When passing by a tea shop, Gu Louyin suddenly stopped, pointed to an old man sitting in the tea shop and said, “This person is True Monarch Shangwen whose hand I lost.”

Xiao Yukan knew what Gu Louyin wanted to remind him, and said, “You mean, the roster you saw in Yunjian Pavilion?”

Gu Lou Yin nodded, “Those with a mark after their name are all in the city.”

Xiao Yu’s case thought of Lu Yueyao, and said, “Lu Yueyao is poisoned, and Lord Shang Wen lost a hand… Is Gu Hang using waste?”

“more than.”

Xiao Yukan chuckled and said, “That’s right.” They and Shen Fugui’s brothers and sisters are not waste. Gu Hang still took their souls, let alone these innocent ordinary people. “There are not enough ‘people’ in the city, how can we find ourselves.”

Gu Louyin said: “It’s not too difficult to find.”

“How to say.”

Gu Louyin glanced at him and said, “With your appearance, it’s hard not to be noticed.”

Xiao Yuan smiled, “To each other.”

The two entered a restaurant and deliberately asked for a window on the second floor. From upstairs, the long street is constantly flowing, and there is a lot of traffic. I don’t know if it is so lively every night.

The second of the restaurant served tea, Xiao Yuan did not dare to drink the food here, and pretended to hold the cup, looking at the faces of passers-by.

Suddenly, a crimson figure entered his line of sight. It was a tall man with a dignified and sloppy temperament. His long blue silk hair without a crown dangled like a waterfall.

Xiao Yu’s eyes widened, “It’s… it’s him.”

Gu Louyin followed his gaze, he remembered this man, he had seen him in Baihua Palace. He remembered that the man’s name was Xiao Du.

A crack appeared in the cup in his hand, Xiao Yukan held her breath and looked at Xiao Du intently. I saw Xiao Du stopped in front of a lantern vendor and bought a lantern from the boss.

Xiao Yu’s case noticed that Xiao Du used his right hand whether to pay or receive lights.
