Chapter 11 Chapter Eleven

In the dim Suzaku palace, only the red light of sandalwood was burning slowly, like a drop of blood. White smoke lingers in the silent room, turning into strange shapes. Sitting cross-legged in front of that pillar of sandalwood was Liu Guang in white clothes.Facing the open roll of "Soul Eater", with his eyes slightly closed, he made a peculiar handprint with his fingers as shown on the scroll, and put it quietly on the skirt of his shirt. The whole room was so quiet that time seemed to have stopped, and even the outside wind could not enter, only the calm but long breathing could be faintly heard.Exhaling and inhaling, breathing out the vitality in his lungs towards the sandalwood, Liu Guang kept moving his hands on the skirt of his clothes, adjusting with the frequency of breathing, and making various gestures.

He was concentrating all his attention on the last Soul Eater tonight. It was an extremely vicious and dangerous technique, and if there was a mistake, there would be a backlash, so he had to be careful not to fall short when he was close to Dacheng, and lose the "complete" power he dreamed of. With his calm and long breathing, the white smoke of sandalwood gradually gathered under his nose, condensing into a dense ball. He inhaled the white smoke, and then exhaled it. Slowly, the white smoke became more and more condensed and thicker. Finally, it condensed into a strange shape!

It was a white phantom, like a tangle baby, protruding and looming in the dark room. But the baby's umbilical cord was connected to Liu Guang's nose, and it vibrated slightly with his breathing—it was as if Liu Guang spit out all the vitality in his body to condense the baby and grow out of his body.Liu Guang's breathing weakened a little, and his constantly changing gestures stopped, and he made a gesture of putting his five fingers together in a cluster, and stood still for a long time. The baby's hands and feet slowly stretched out, gradually becoming slender, and a cloud of smoke gradually became a strip.

Then, there was a face, black eyeholes and a mouth and nose—it was hideous and frightening, and it turned out to be the shape of a ghost! "Duh!" Liu Guang uttered a low cry, and his five fingers that were closed instantly opened into a five-star shape, and a charm in his hand was shining brightly. He raised his hand and waved at the ghost, pointing to the holy lake in the distance outside the window, "Go!" The white mist seemed to have been ordered, and it flew away quickly, turning into a thin strand, getting out of the curtain, and disappearing in the rain. However, no matter how far it floats, the umbilical cord-like white mist is still connected between Liu Guang's mouth and nose.

Liu Guang's gestures changed immediately, forming a lion seal and placing it on his chest, guarding his body after exhausting his vitality.The burning incense reflected faintly on his face, which was so pale that it was almost transparent, exuding an indescribably mysterious aura. Silence, still silence. Although there was already a fierce battle outside because of the intruder, the room where the barrier was set up was still surprisingly quiet, maintaining an aura of immortality.Liu Guang restrained his mind, controlled the ghost that dived into the deepest part of the holy lake minute by minute, and swallowed that part of the power through it.

"Where's Miubi? Where did you lock Miubi?" Faintly, the sound of swordsmen outside stopped, and there was a stern shout. "..." The child from the Moon Palace at the bottom couldn't hear the answer at all. However, for some reason, that anxious question pierced through the barrier he had set up and reached his ears, causing Liu Guang's fingers to tremble suddenly - Funan?It's Funan's voice! How did Funan come to the Moon Palace?And they came straight to Suzaku Palace! With a slight tremor of his fingers, the wisp of white smoke was disturbed, his breathing was out of rhythm, and Liu Guang's face turned pale instantly.The water surface of the holy lake in the distance began to surge, as if something at the bottom of the water was disturbed, causing the evil spirits to scream, and the red lotus on the lake tilted and tilted.

No way... You have to finish the last round of Soul Devouring quickly, otherwise you will be in an extremely disadvantageous situation. Liu Guang no longer cared about the voices outside the window. Luck sealed all his seven orifices and six senses, and began to concentrate on breathing, swallowing his vitality.The fluctuations of the holy lake on the top of the mountain gradually calmed down, and the water surface was slightly rippling. The wisp of white mist was sucked into the water surface like a rainbow, and stretched directly to the bottom of the water. However, at that moment, the airtight window lattice made a crisp sound, and a crack opened.

Someone broke the barrier around here and broke in! The talisman attached to the window was shaken to pieces, and the wooden window lattice was twisted inward. With a "shua", a sharp wind blew in through the gap, smashing the entire wooden window.The curtain flew. "Yubi! Miubi!" The man jumped into the last closed room, looked around and shouted, holding a bloody sword in his hand. No one answered him, and the dark room was only filled with the strong smell of sandalwood. Funan's hand holding the sword gradually trembled—is Miubi not here?This is already the last room of Suzaku Palace, after searching all the way, there is no trace of Miobi anywhere!Could it be, could it be that she was given by that mysterious person living in Suzaku Palace...

Thinking of this, the murderous intent surged up from the bottom of my heart with fear, Funan began to lose his usual composure, he slashed the curtains hanging all over the room crazily, and called out Miubi's name loudly. The bright sword light criss-crossed the room, like lightning falling into the room from the dark clouds outside. Countless curtains were shattered under the sword, turning into soft flying white snowflakes, falling to the ground, Funan shouted while rushing into the room——Suddenly, the evil sword shook violently! There are demons!He paused, concentrating. The last curtain shattered under his sword, and where the curtain fell, a little crimson light appeared.

It was just a stick of sandalwood, which was almost burned out, and the strong and fragrant atmosphere in the room came from it.However, it was the man in white sitting in front of the sandalwood that made the long sword in Funan's hand stop. "Liu, Liu Guang?" He looked at the person in front of him almost in disbelief, and murmured. That's a streamer... that's indeed a streamer!Although he hadn't seen him for five years, he could still recognize his best friend in childhood and teenage years at a glance—since that bloody night passed, he once thought that Liu Guang died or was treated extremely cruelly, because he He didn't succumb to all kinds of painful threats like himself, and participated in the cruel plan to murder his master.

In the past five years, he has been heartbroken, unable to forgive himself for temporarily turning his knees, but after all, he dared not muster up the courage to break into the Moon Palace to find Liu Guang. Live well here. Now, he finally verified his guess - Liu Guang is still alive. At that moment, he forgot everything else, and rushed straight to Liu Guang, calling his name hastily, in ecstasy. However, Liu Guang closed his eyes slightly, sat quietly in the deepest darkness with his handprints, and did not answer a word.His face was solemn and pale, and a jade-like white smoke hung from his nose and corners of his lips, stretching out of the window.Funan looked out along the strange white smoke, and saw that it led to the holy lake on the top of the mountain, and finally disappeared into the water. This, what kind of technique is this? ... Funan was shocked on the spot, unable to move for a while. But the evil sword in his hand leaped violently, making a humming sound—it was the uneasiness when encountering an evil spirit. The intensity of this uneasiness almost approached the time when I first met Ah Che! With a sound of "clang", Funan was slightly distracted, and let go of his hand, the psychic Quexie sword jumped out of his hand, and stabbed straight at Liu Guang's eyebrow! "No!" Funan lost his voice, and rushed to intercept, but it was already too late. But the evil sword stabbed straight at the white mist, cutting off the wisp of white!Then the castration continued unabated, piercing Liu Guang's eyebrows. There was a soft "cha", and the moment the sword tip pierced the skin, the long sword froze. Liu Guang's body trembled at the moment when the white mist was cut off, as if he had suddenly come to his senses, the hand with the lion mark was lifted up as quickly as a ghost, and his fingers clamped the Que Xie sword that was stabbing at Yintang.Such pale and slender fingers actually contained a strange power, and they intercepted the lightning-like sword in time. "Funan?" Liu Guang slowly opened his eyes, looking at the person who broke into the Suzaku Palace - at that moment, countless complex emotions flashed in his eyes: joy, shock, anger, despair...but only for a short time. For a brief moment, it finally returned to calm. He suddenly sighed and smiled: "Sure enough, you are the one who came... It's really clear, the law is clear." Funan didn't have time to ask what it meant, but saw a trace of blood dripping from the corner of the other party's mouth. The bloodstain was extremely strange, crawling on the pale face as if alive, however, it did not drip when it reached the chin, but instead spread along the wisp of white mist!The blood flowed out endlessly, and the wisp of white smoke was gradually dyed red inch by inch, moving towards the direction of the holy lake. "Liu Guang, what's wrong with you?" Funan suddenly had an ominous premonition and asked urgently. "Nothing." Liu Guang's voice was calm, tired and weak.He looked at his junior whom he hadn't seen for many years, but his eyes were serene, without the slightest surprise like Funan's, as if he had been waiting for a long time. He snapped his fingers, gathered strength with his fingertips, and ignited the candlestick in the room with a chirping sound.Suddenly there was light in the dark room, casting shadows indistinctly.And the pillar of sandalwood on the ground had quietly turned into ashes at some point. "My retribution has arrived." Liu Guang lowered his head to look at the burnt sandalwood on the ground, and smiled wryly, "You see, I still haven't been able to devour master after all——I paid such a high price, and in the end, it was nothing at all. .” As he was talking, the blood from the corner of his mouth kept gushing out, and the strange thing was that none of it fell on the ground, but just spread along the white mist - such a strange situation can be seen nowhere in the world except in the Moon Palace. "This, what is this?" Funan looked at the white mist hanging from his mouth and nose in surprise, and murmured. "Soul Eater—you've heard of it." Liu Guang shook his head slightly, and raised his hand to show him the parchment scroll spread out on the ground, "But you probably weren't interested in studying it back then." Soul Eater?Funan saw the three words on the scroll at a glance, and blurted out in surprise. It was one of the most profound techniques in the teaching. He had only heard it from Master Yun Xi at the beginning, but it was far from the point where he could practice it. After practicing this technique, one can gain all the power of the opponent by devouring the opponent's body. Because it is so vicious, it is even listed as the first of the three taboo techniques in the Moon Worship Sect. "You actually practice the Soul Devouring Technique?" Funan lost his voice in horror, "You, who do you want to devour?" Liu Guang smiled slightly, raised his eyebrows, and looked at the holy lake in the distance: "Of course it's the master——in this world, only Master Yunxi can make me feel that I can never surpass him." "You...you are eating the master in the red lotus prison?" Looking at the white smoke that disappeared into the holy lake, Funan suddenly understood, and the blood faded from his face. Liu Guang nodded indifferently: "Yes, for the past five years, I have used my primordial spirit to transform a ghost every day and dive into the bottom of the water to devour his flesh and blood. Otherwise, how do you think I can harvest Aescin from the bottom of the water?" "Impossible..." Funan retorted, "Master is immortal, so we could only seal him back then!" "That's right. But although he can rely on his own spiritual power to revive every day, every time I swallow it, I get more power." Liu Guang stroked his chest and murmured, "Ninety-nine eighty-one kalpas, Originally, I was about to devour all his strength...Unfortunately, he died suddenly. I can only hurry up and devour his body within seven days, so as not to disperse the soul. Today is the last day, but unexpectedly you……" Speaking of this, Liu Guang raised his head and looked at Funan, with a wry smile on his brows: "Heaven is clear." Those words were shocking, Funan couldn't comprehend all of them for a while, but just stared at him blankly holding the Que Xie sword, and said after a while: "You...you are devouring the master's body to gain his strength?" "This is Soul Eater," Liu Guang remained calm, "You know it too." "You..." Funan was suddenly speechless—in his memory, Liu Guang was a peaceful and peaceful boy. Although he was not a year or two older than himself, his demeanor was much calmer. He was respectful to his master and gentle to his disciples. Dressed in spotless white clothes, he looks like a priest at a young age. However, at the reunion five years later, he was seen devouring his master's body with magic! Such a sharp contrast made Funan dizzy with blankness for a moment. "Master... Master, is he dead?" After a while, Funan asked the second sentence. "That's right. Shen Che killed Master Yun Xi and Shen Ying, and escaped from the Red Lotus Prison." Liu Guang rolled his eyes and sneered, "If I'm not wrong, she's staying at your house right now, right?" Funan's expression changed again—Ache...Ache killed Master and Shen Ying? However, in his memory, Ah Che was such a pure and kind child, he never said a single harsh word to his servants, let alone made a move.And she admired Master Yunxi since she was a child, and even regarded him as a god - how could Ah Che kill the master? ! Funan's mind was suddenly confused, and he asked rashly after a long while: "A few days ago, you were the one who injured Ah Che in Zhuque Palace?" "That's right. To be precise, I repelled the Nightmare." Liu Guang smiled slightly and nodded to recall, "If she hadn't been wounded when she rushed up that day, and she had just possessed a new body, I'm afraid I wouldn't have The opponent—it's scary." During such a conversation, the blood from the corner of Liu Guang's mouth kept oozing out, and gradually the white smoke turned into a blood mist! In the distant wind, there was a sudden commotion. Looking at it at a glance, I saw the cloudy mountaintop, the holy lake boiling like water, and countless dead spirits churning, one after another leaping onto the white mist that was stained red with blood, screaming and chasing after it. "Go away!" Liu Guang's eyes changed, and he stretched out his hand to push Funan away, "I failed to use Soul Eater, and now the undead are coming out! You will be eaten together if you stay here!" Funan was still in a daze, the push made him stagger, but he came back to his senses: "What about you?" "The loser should accept the fate of the loser." Liu Guang shook his head with a smile, put the parchment on the candle, lit it slowly, and said in a tired tone, "Actually, in the past few years, my life has not been better than that of Master Yun Xi—— Once the evil thoughts start, they will be trapped in nightmares every day and cannot extricate themselves. And the Soul Eater cannot be stopped once it starts, so it would be good if it can be completely stopped now." The tanned sheepskin was extremely difficult to burn, and it took a long time for a corner to burn, giving off an unpleasant smell.Liu Guang was a little impatient, and when he moved his fingers away, a blue fire was wiped out from his fingertips, and burned the scroll: "This kind of vicious magic technique, don't want to stay in the world to tempt and harm people..." Funan looked at Liu Guang, still confused and bewildered. The mysterious person in Suzaku Palace that Nightmare wanted him to exchange for Arche's life was actually Liu Guang? But Liu Guang obtained such terrifying power by devouring his master's flesh and blood. What's more... Miu Bi has been secretly dating Liu Guang without telling him for the past few years!The two of them, how many things are hidden from themselves together! In just a short moment, these thoughts surged from his mind, messing up all his thoughts.He looked at the blood-stained white mist, the turbulent waves on the holy lake and the dark clouds on the top of the mountain, his heart was in a mess and he didn't know what to do. "Go!" Seeing those evil spirits approaching step by step, already approaching Suzaku Palace, Liu Guang let out a low voice and urged again. However, he hesitated, neither saying to leave nor staying. —He didn't know how to make up his mind.He has always been so indecisive when it comes to critical moments. "You don't have to stay and die." Seeing him standing there in a daze and refusing to leave, the anxiety in Liu Guang's eyes finally turned into a kind of cruelty, and he gritted his teeth and said a word, "Back then, I conspired with Tian Lai to lie to you. When I came back and forced you to poison and kill Master, I didn't treat you as a brother!" "What?" Such a sentence was like a thunderbolt, waking up the hesitant people completely, "What did you say?" "Let me tell you, the change of seizing the palace five years ago was secretly planned by me and Tian Lai." Liu Guang looked straight into Funan's eyes, with a cruel smile on his lips, "What does that doll in red know? Only I know The master's weakness... I have studied the temple books for so many years, and I know how to put a priest to death." Funan held the sword tightly, his eyes brightened instantly.Liu Guang's narration is extremely fast, clear and concise: "At the age of fifteen, I knew that I couldn't surpass Master Yunxi...I didn't want to be suppressed for the rest of my life. So I found the Ten Thousand Years Dragon Blood Bead—it was the only one that could work on people like Master poison. "But I always knew that my master was very wary of me. He once said that I was too much like him when I was a teenager. I didn't want to do such a dangerous thing myself, so I thought of you who were traveling far away, and I conspired with Tian Lai to trick you back. ——As soon as you came back, let the ten elders ambush you, captured you alive, and tortured you severely. You have a gentle personality, not a temper that would rather bend than bend, and you really gave in quickly." When talking about this, Liu Guang looked at the pale Funan, and smiled wryly: "I should kill you after the matter is completed. Tian Lai also suggested that at the time. Unfortunately, for some reason, I don't want you to die... So, I Let you and Miubi go down the mountain." "Funan, you are not suitable to be a priest at all." Liu Guang dropped the scorched scroll in his hand and sighed, "You don't have much desire for power. You are too kind and simple, just the opposite of me. "It's a pity that the sky is clear, but in the end I still fell short and was destroyed by your hands." Funan's eyes gradually brightened, and the hand holding the sword kept shaking—I don't know if it was because of the excitement in his heart, or because Xiejian felt the approach of countless evil spirits. "Let's go!" Liu Guang pointed out the window and urged, "If you don't go, it will be difficult to get out!" At this moment, the window shattered completely—Liu Guang was meticulous in his work, and before performing the Soul Eater, he also considered the phenomenon of backlash in case of occurrence, so he set up multiple protective barriers around the secret room.However, this window was destroyed by the intrusion of Funan just now. At this moment, the group of escaped evil spirits in the holy lake have already chased the blood-stained white smoke and swarmed in! "Shua!" The white light turned, and an evil spirit was sliced ​​into two parts. But the evil sword returned with a blow, and a circle of white light circled around the fingertips.Funan stood in front of the window, took only half a step back, and then stood still.Because of nervousness, his hands were trembling slightly, but he still stood firmly, blocking between the window sill and the streamer, not taking half a step back. "Funan!" Liu Guang called him from behind, his voice trembling like it hadn't appeared when facing life and death just now. He didn't look back, but just clenched the sword in his hand until the blade couldn't turn flexibly between his fingers, until the white light cut his hand.Those evil spirits rushing along the bloodstains were frightened by the sword, and paused outside the window, but when they saw clearly that there was only one person blocking the way, they screamed and rushed over again. The wind was suffocating. "Shua!" In the white mist, the evil sword swept up like a startled rainbow, cutting everything. Funan was swinging his sword, fighting against those evil spirits that came rushing like dense rain. From time to time, he felt those invisible sharp teeth biting his shoulder and arm, and those invisible blood came out like steam and stained his cheeks. . Yet he didn't back down...he didn't even know why he insisted. He had no reason to hold on to the person behind him.But he still fought desperately, trying his best to prevent any evil spirit from passing through the broken window. The white air has already covered half of his body, but the light of the evil sword flashed out like lightning, but he can no longer see the appearance of the person.Sitting on the futon, Liu Guang looked at Funan, leaned forward, put his right hand on the ground, tried his best to stand up and fight side by side with him, but found that he had no strength left. The failure of using the Soul Devouring Technique just now made him unable to use spiritual power freely for a short period of time. He was sitting in a dark secret room, countless hanging curtains fluttered against the gust of wind blowing in from the window, as if those white ghosts had already broken through the barriers and rushed over—however, that person was still standing in the only broken room. In front of the window, desperately blocking those raging tides for him. That kind of swordsmanship made Liu Guang unstoppably amazed: it didn't come from the Moon Worship Sect, and it didn't seem like it was passed down by the folks in Miaojiang - Funan has made such progress in the past few years and understood such an exquisite sword Law! It was still dark night outside the window, but those evil spirits glowed with a faint white light, gathering together was like day. Funan's body was already submerged in the white light, only a silhouette could be vaguely seen, so stubborn and persistent.But from the slowing down of the sword light, Liu Guang already had a premonition that Funan's power would soon be exhausted—the long night had not yet passed, and the evil spirits continued to surge. How could one's own strength stop the evil aura of the entire holy lake? The white light became more and more intense, and finally engulfed Funan's entire body! With a sound of "ding", the evil sword flew out of the white light, fell to the ground at the other end of the secret room, was shocked, and finally failed to jump up again. The scream of the evil spirit was as fierce as the wind. Liu Guang lowered his head, and a drop of tear splashed into the sandalwood ashes. Funan, it's the only time in your life that you didn't take half a step back, but it ended up like this... Suddenly, a decisive light flashed in your eyes, Liu Guang put the middle finger of your right hand into the mouth, bit it open, and spat blood on the floor of the secret room. Draw a complicated spell with one stroke—— That is the method of blood separation, another taboo in the religion, which can be used to summon nightmares. He separated his own blood, and exchanged a part of his life with the demon hiding on the dark side of the moon.He awakened the Nightmare and offered his life and spiritual power, and the revived Nightmare would lend him power to fulfill his wish. In the beginning, the leader of Tianlai used this technique in order to restrain Priest Yunxi. Such a powerful master was also trapped and fell into the red lotus prison where the sun never appeared.As long as her blood flows for a day, the person trapped at the bottom of the water can never be freed.However, as a price, the heart of the girl in red became more and more dark and vicious, yearning for killing and blood, gradually eroded by the power of the nightmare, but unable to control her own behavior. Perhaps Tian Lai knew this from the bottom of her heart, that's why she rushed down the mountain to find her brother in such a frenzy. In fact, in that child's heart, she didn't just want to question why the person she loved the most back then abandoned her, but ... Simply, want to seek an end? She is not coming back. And so soon, will it be my turn? Various thoughts flashed through his mind like lightning, but Liu Guang's hand drew a blood-red spell without stopping.In any case, even if he does whatever it takes to ignore the consequences, he can't let Funan die right now! "No! Liu Guang, stop!" As if knowing what he was thinking, Funan struggled to make a sound, which came intermittently.Liu Guang paused for a moment, raised his head to look at Funan, but couldn't see his friend's face - countless evil spirits had already devoured him.Liu Guang's finger continued to move slowly, drawing the last blood mark, sealing the spell. "No! Liu Guang, stop! Stop!" Funan yelled, desperately trying to stop him. Unknown where the power came from, the Que Xie sword in the corner jumped up and slashed at Liu Guang's finger! However, at this moment, Liu Guang turned over his palm and printed it on the center of the completed spell, lowered his head gently, and uttered two words: "Yan Lai". Before he finished speaking, the blood-red charm on the ground suddenly turned into a raging fire, igniting blazingly! Que Xie's sword had already pierced, but he paused beside the fire, struggled for a long time, and finally fell to the ground with a clank. "Yan come!" Liu Guang suddenly raised his head, yelled, and raised his finger, pointing to the group of evil spirits at the window—they were the red lotus flames in hell.Countless flames flew out from his fingertips and the enchantment on the ground, howling and piercing into the cloud of white smoke. The evil spirit let out a scorching scream of pain, and suddenly became distracted. At first, it flew around indiscriminately, and finally found the window, and retreated along the way it came from.Those raging fires burned after them, burning countless evil spirits to death. In the dark night, it was like a huge white lotus suddenly retracted and retracted into the center of the lake. The sky and the earth suddenly became quiet, only the dense rain fell in a hurry. "Liu Guang!" In the secret room, Funan cried out in surprise, looking at the other party's eyes that had turned red. The hand that manipulated the flames of the red lotus fell slumped, trying to support it, but it still fell powerlessly.The fire outside was extinguished, and Liu Guang fell on the cold obsidian floor of the chamber, his white clothes covered with blood and ashes. "Kill me, Funan... hurry up." He spoke intermittently to the friend, but his eyes were already red to the point of bleeding, "Because of my summoning, the Nightmare has completely awakened... I will also slowly change You don't look like a person at all. Come here and kill-" That sentence was cut off halfway.Because at that moment, he saw Funan's face! What a terrifying face that was... Countless evil spirits bitten off Funan's skin, and not a single part of it was intact.Especially that once handsome face was covered with wounds, blood flowed over the eyes, revealing the bones of the dead. Liu Guang stopped speaking, with a pained expression on his face, looking at the friend who had protected him from the crime of devouring his body, he suddenly murmured: "It's okay, I'll give you back your face." He raised his hand again, pressed his face, and whispered: "Yan—" "No!" Before he could utter the second word, Funan yelled sharply, and the Quexie sword on the ground jumped up again—however, instead of stabbing at Liu Guang, it turned back instantly and stabbed at his own. throat! "Stop!" Without thinking about summoning the Nightmare again, Liu Guang stopped the spell, and he freed his hand like lightning to stop the sword. Que Xie's sword had reached three inches in front of Funan's throat, and stopped there firmly. "I don't hate you. I didn't come here for you - I just did it for myself." Funan looked at him, whispered, but there was a rare determination in his eyes, "I won't end it for you either." , He stood up slowly holding the sword: "If you are ashamed, you should work together with me to seal the Nightmare again." Liu Guang looked at this junior who suddenly became decisive, and couldn't believe it—is this Funan?This is the old Funan who hesitated and hesitated when things went wrong?After crossing the limit just now, he seemed to be a different person in an instant. Does it mean that people have two faces in their hearts, as long as the outer mask is broken, a new one can be revealed? "Liu Guang, do you know?" Funan suddenly laughed and lowered his head, "I just discovered that as long as you put your mind to it, many things... are not difficult to do at all! Ha...why before, I didn't Dare to do it?" In the dark room, the two looked at each other silently for a moment, and the wind and rain were howling outside. "Funan!...Liu Guang! Come on, come on... help... ah!" Suddenly, a hoarse scream cut through the rainy night, and both of them stood up in shock at the same time—— "Piaobi!"
