Chapter 63 Chapter 63: The Mystery of Xiangguo

Wu Zixu rode his horse and rushed out of the city gate, crossed the suspension bridge, and walked onto the galloping road leading to the Endless River. Zhuancheng can't be defended anymore. He has never believed that the enemy can capture Zhuancheng, but this belief has been shattered. Just now in the palace of Mrs. Xiang on the top of the city, he found the body of the city lord who killed himself with a sword, and the poor girl who committed suicide by taking poison.It's all over.His own life is also disappearing, and the plague is eroding his body. The only hope is to survive until he returns to the city.

"Boom—" Thunder and lightning filled the sky, the wind raged, and the torrential rain ruthlessly whipped the fields on both sides of the Wuzhong River, and they also shot at Wuzi head-on like arrows. The sky became dark and thick, the dark clouds rushed away, the wind was short and fast, the trees swayed crazily, the outline of the ground became blurred, and the violent images of heaven and earth gathered here.Wu Zixu felt completely alone and helpless, relying only on the fire of love burning in his heart. Since seeing her in Cangwu, his love for her has never diminished, but for nine years he can only bury his love for her deep in his heart, he is afraid of seeing her resentful eyes, he knows that she understands him, He also understands her.

Now that the city lord is dead, his love for her is like a torrent, no one can resist it.But the god of death is holding them tightly. If there is no way to return to heaven, she will die a miserable death. The only thing that can change her tragic fate is Xiangguo. The lightning strikes down, and the lightning bursts only half a foot from the ground, and the sky and the earth are completely white.Wu Zixu was like a blind man who rode his horse and galloped purely based on his senses. The furious wind and rain roared around him, and the rain stinged his face and dazzled his eyes. The sound of the rushing river came to his ears, Wu Zixu rode his horse back to the reins, and finally arrived at the side of the Endless River.

The other side was originally an endless enemy camp, but now all I saw was lightning and heavy rain. Wu Zixu pulled out the sword stuck in the horse's side, thinking that the city lord used this sword to end his own life instead of picking fairy fruits, he couldn't help feeling mixed. In the violent turbulence, there was a group of strange golden lights flickering on and off. This was the second time he had seen such a spectacle, and the last time was already ten years ago. Xiangguo Xiangguo!Are you really as magical as the legends say, who can bring the dead back to life and turn people into gods in the sky?

Wu Zixu ran to a big rock on the bank of the river. He knew that the enemies on the other side were watching, and no one would want to miss the magnificent and strange scene in front of him. With a wild cry, Wu Zixu threw himself into the Endless River. "Boom—" A flash of lightning struck where he stood just now, and the boulder shattered. Wu Zixu plunged into the icy river with his sword, the power of the turbulent flow was completely beyond his expectation, and within half a foot into the water, he was rushed by the torrent and couldn't help himself, rolling over without knowing where he was.After he finished screaming, he suddenly bumped into a large soft object, dissipating the force of the impact. When Xingwu was hit by the water and hit the lady tree, his shoulder had already hit the trunk. The pain caused him to drink a few sips of water and faint for a while. dizzy.

The next moment he had already climbed up with amazing willpower, the golden light flashed, he stretched out his left hand desperately, grabbed the Xiangguo, and a stream of water rushed him so that his feet could no longer wrap around the trunk, and he was about to leave the tree. Go, at the moment when success or failure is on the line, the sword in the right hand swung along the water and cut off the fruit stem. Before Wu Zixu could see clearly what to do next, the rapids had already taken him downstream.Human power can't play any role in such a situation. His mind gradually became blurred, but there seemed to be a voice in his heart, encouraging him not to give up.

Suddenly he was on the surface of the water again, took a few greedy breaths, and a severe pain came from his back, which made him wake up. It turned out that the current washed him to the shore.Seeing that the current was about to rush him away from the shore again, Wu Zixu somehow generated his supernatural power, raised his sword, and forced it into the mud and rocks on the shore, using his strength to land on the shore, he suddenly felt weak all over.At this time, the neighing sound of the horse came to his ears, and it was actually Aiqi chasing him. Wu Zixu hurriedly got up, pulled out the sword, threw himself on the side of the horse, panted and vomited the river water, put the Xiangguo into the pre-opened treasure box hanging on the side of the horse, and then pushed the protruding part back to its original position. Insert the sword back into the scabbard at the side of the horse.At this moment, he was on the verge of collapse, his throat seemed to be on fire, and the feeling of being tortured by the plague was beyond words.

Suddenly there was a strange feeling, the seven luminous pearls on the original treasure box turned into golden lights, eye-catching. Wu Zixu came back to his senses, didn't dare to think too much, climbed onto the horse's back with difficulty, couldn't hold on any longer, fell on the horse, and hugged the horse's neck desperately. The healthy horse neighed, let go of its four hooves, and ran back towards the mountain city at full speed. Wu Zixu's mind was somewhere between sober and coma, he only knew that the thunderstorm was gradually subsiding, he didn't know anything about other things, and he ignored them.After an unknown amount of time, the horse slowed down and finally stopped. He opened his eyes and saw that he had returned to the city.

Wu Zixu regained his breath, and hurriedly dismounted, the treasure box was still shining golden and shining, Wu Zixu didn't even think about it, took off the Chu box, and ran into the doorway leading to the stone hall. As he walked through the doorway, he felt a strange feeling in his heart, as if something happened here not long ago, but he couldn't remember it clearly. The copper door of the stone hall opened inward, Wu Zixu forgot everything and went straight into the stone hall. In the center of the stone hall, his most beloved woman is lying on the stone bed, with her head resting on a bamboo pillow, her beautiful hair like clouds hanging down her sides.

When Wu Zixu took a look, bitter tears welled up. Her originally beautiful face was covered with terrible red spots, and her long, open eyes showed no signs of life. He was used to such situations in recent days. , This is the death of everyone who died of the epidemic. Wu Zixu sat down beside the bed, and unconsciously took out the only movable night pearl on the box. The Big Dipper has nine stars, seven are present and two are hidden.The key to opening the treasure box lies in the two hidden stars, which are located at the positions of the two flower stamens in the pattern on the box. He picked up the night pearl and pressed it hard into one of the stamens.At the beginning, there was no change on the surface of the box, but suddenly there was a suction force inside the box, and the Ye Mingzhu sank along with the surface of the box, making a sound of "get".Wu Zixu did the same thing to another location, making another sound.In the end, he sent Ye Mingzhu back to his place.

The lock of the treasure box was opened. He didn't know what he was doing, and he only had one thought in his mind, which was to feed her Xiangguo. Wu Zixu reached out to the bottom of the box and pushed it up hard. The central part of the box rose slowly and protruded from the top of the box. Xiangguo, which made people dare not look directly, appeared in front of him, and the room was filled with golden light. Wu Zixu took out the Xiangguo, gently opened her small mouth with his hands, and put the Xiangguo into her mouth.After a burst of dizziness, she fell off the bed and fell to the ground. He unconsciously pressed back the protruding part of the treasure box, and the two recessed positions immediately returned to their original state. At this time, red spots of death appeared on his skin, exhausted, he struggled to kneel up, climbed to the side of the stone bed, and looked at his beloved on the stone bed. She didn't move. After Wuzi humbly shouted, time stopped, and life and death no longer had the slightest meaning to him. Just as he exhaled his last breath, the hair of the beautiful woman on the bed was windless, and the jade face and hands and feet that were exposed outside the clothes were all glowing with a strange golden light, and the whole portrait would shine brightly. She sat up from the stone bed suddenly, shrouded in golden light, and hugged Wu Zixu's body into her arms as if she knew everything. It becomes mulberry fields, high mountains turn into flat land, the sun and the moon lose their color, and the sky and the earth collapse, but our love will burn forever until the end of the universe. One day, we will meet again, and you will come in through this bronze gate again." After finishing speaking, the entire stone hall was filled with strong golden light, and the heavy copper door closed automatically.
