take care of yourself

Chapter 104 Imprisonment

Nearly black blood oozes from the torn flesh, and the corpse puppet can still feel the pain. Its stiff Adam's apple rolled violently twice, and a hissing sound mixed with blood spilled from the messy neck fracture , banging the back of his head against the wall in pain.

Zhuo Yuanshan didn't dare to intervene, and didn't know how to stop him. He stood by the bed, his lips trembling, and his whole body was cold.

He could imagine how Ying Yao stabbed his heart with the sword, just like the sword he pierced through his chest, but that time the tip of the sword would definitely not deviate from the target by an inch, and he felt that he could even feel it. How relieved Yingyao left him in such a decisive way at that time, and how he refused to give up refining him into a corpse puppet.

Zhuo Yuanshan knew that all of this was a trick of the inner demon, but he still let out an indiscernible sob when the puppet tore open his chest and pulled out the shriveled and dead heart.

The corpse puppet held the heart in both hands and handed it to him, and the demon opened his eyes wide and smiled.

Zhuo Yuanshan touched the corpse puppet's cold fingertips, he subconsciously withdrew his hand, but the corpse puppet let go of his heart and fell backwards.

This time it couldn't move at all, the horrible corpse spots spread rapidly, the flesh and blood collapsed in the blink of an eye, and a large rotten cavity appeared on his bare chest, from which oozes foul-smelling muddy water, covering his body with ashes. The red robe then disappeared, and before the heart fell to the ground, the corpse puppet on the bed had turned into a white bone, and the rotten internal organs and pieces of meat fell off one after another, falling all over the bed from the gaps in the bones.

Zhuo Yuanshan stared blankly, his eyelashes visibly trembling, and he reached out his hand in a panic to catch the heart that fell to the ground, but it was too late for him to react, before his fingertips touched the heart, it was already falling heavily It hit the ground, shattered into two petals from the part pierced by the long sword, and rolled around twice, covered with dust.

"You can try to put it back together," the demon possessed said with a smile on the skin with blue lips, "maybe it can still move."

Zhuo Yuanshan smashed his lips with a whip, the tip of the whip made a sharp piercing sound, and split open the first illusion created by the inner demon. New illusion.

The heart demon's cheerful whisper still echoed in Zhuo Yuanshan's mind over and over again, he didn't care about observing the new illusion, and closed his eyes to restrain his mind.

He knew that everything was a trick played by the heart demon based on his memory and the weakness he showed during the confrontation just now, in order to make him lose his mind and whip it to take advantage of it, but he knew it was false, the real Ying Yao Not only was he alive and kicking, but he also set up a sword formation outside to guard against him, but his heart still ached.

Zhuo Yuanshan's palms were sweating, he calmed down and opened his eyes, and the phantom scene lit up.

This time he wasn't on the bed, and he didn't hold Ying Yao in his arms. Everything seemed normal, and the demons were still gone.

Zhuo Yuanshan knew that it was quietly lurking on him now, waiting for him to show his flaws.

He clenched the handle of the whip and raised his head to look around. The scene around him was the Xixue Mountain Cave Mansion in his memory. After he confirmed this, Moxiu appeared in front of him walking around as a servant. Zhuo Yuanshan observed for a while, He reached out to stop one, stopped his salute, and asked tentatively, "Where's Ying Yao?"

The servant bowed his head and replied, "You haven't summoned Madam for a long time. Madam thought it was because she wasn't well-behaved, so she took the initiative to go to the cage with her things."

In Zhuo Yuanshan's impression, there is a place in the Western Snow Mountain called the cage, which is a narrow, dark and silent cage that cannot be turned around. When interrogating tough monks, people are thrown into it and stand there for a month or two. When they come out, even if they are not The demon has also been tamed, he was taken aback by where "Ying Yao" went, and hurriedly asked: "When did you go in?"

The servant didn't seem to notice the tension in Zhuo Yuanshan's voice, he had a reminiscence look on his face, hesitantly said: "It seems that I haven't seen Madam for half a month."

Zhuo Yuanshan's face became serious.

The scene where "Ying Yao"'s puppet ripped open his chest, cut out his heart and handed it to him just now was so amazing that even though he knew it was fake, he still had lingering fears. He couldn't imagine if "Ying Yao" was real After staying in the cage for more than half a month, what kind of surprise will the demon who read his memory give him.

He waved the servant off and let him go about his own business. He lowered his head to check whether the long whip was still there, and flew to the door of the basement where the cage was placed in a little haste. He reached out and took out the key from Moxiu who was guarding the cage. , full of unease into the basement.

The illusion outside the door collapsed and disappeared like flying sand, and then more red mist appeared in the place where the building disappeared, converging into the body of the demon.

The corner of the heart demon's mouth was almost cracked, and it walked towards the door in front of it. Its skin was still covered with thin beards, its belly was swollen, and its long tentacles dragged on the ground, showing its upper body. It looks like a mountain of meat, but the lower body is thin and small, like two bent chopsticks, walking staggeringly.

But if someone observes carefully at this time, they will find that it looks a little better than when it first appeared in front of Zhuo Yuanshan. Correspondingly, the power of the inner demon has increased, and Zhuo Yuanshan has revealed more weaknesses.

It's a pity that Zhuo Yuanshan closed the door after entering the basement, and didn't see the inner demon appearing behind him, so he didn't notice any changes in the inner demon.

The demon touched his belly with his hands, and belched contentedly. The thin beard on his body dripped to the ground like melting, and then gathered into a puddle like water, which flowed into the basement from under the door, and stuck to Zhuo Yuan with ease. on the heels of the mountain.

Zhuo Yuanshan searched for Ying Yao's trace in the basement with strides. During the period of time when the heart demon appeared outside the door and followed him, he had already found the bottom floor of the basement, and was passing a low staircase with his head down.

The space on the lowest floor is only a corridor about ten feet long and a small room less than three feet square. After Zhuo Yuanshan walked down the stairs, he heard some suppressed panting and sobbing. It will be sent out when the limit is reached, but the talisman is drawn in the basement, so that he can neither see clearly nor use his spiritual sense to observe the scene inside.

To be cautious, Zhuo Yuanshan stopped for a while, and tentatively changed his voice: "Ayao?"

But the people inside didn't seem to hear his voice, he could still only hear suppressed gasps and sobs.

People staying inside the cage can neither see a ray of light nor hear any sound. However, when Zhuo Yuanshan ordered people to build the cage for the convenience of interrogation, he excluded his own voice from it. It is unlikely that "Ying Yao" did not hear it. his voice.

Zhuo Yuanshan stood there in doubt for two breaths, and suddenly remembered the servant's answer.

The servant said, "The madam took the initiative to bring things to the cage." At that time, he was attracted by the word "cage", and he didn't care about what the servant said. Now, in retrospect, it is likely that he thought about it but didn't use it. A fun thing for Yingyao.

Someone will always present something interesting to the Lord of the Western Snow Mountain. The Snake Tooth Bell comes from this part of storage. Zhuo Yuanshan has not carefully looked at the contents inside, but maybe the heart demon can find it from his memory. What, he didn't have time to recall from his memory how to remove the magic circle in the basement. Two whips shattered the wall beside him and destroyed the talisman on it. .

The cage was no different from what he remembered. "Ying Yao" raised his arms and staggered them behind his head, wrapped in soft and resilient silk. His fingers were trapped in the flocculent shackles to prevent self-harm, and his knees were also wrapped in silk. and then disappeared until it was tied to a pair of heavy iron shoes.

The soles of the iron shoes were welded to the bottom of the cage, and they were also filled with flocs made of the same material as the flails. "Ying Yao" was wearing those iron shoes, his eyes were tightly closed, tears were still rolling down the corners of his eyes, and his bright red lips were slightly parted. He held a thin thread of silver between his teeth, one end of the silver thread was tied with a columnar soft stuff to fill his throat, preventing him from making too much noise, and the other end went down through the delicate iron ring on the collar, for a minute For two submerged in his collar.

Zhuo Yuanshan looked down along the silver thread, because "Ying Yao"'s arms were tied behind his head, his chest had to be pushed forward, Zhuo Yuanshan noticed two unnatural spots on his chest The bulge looks like something like a clip, and it should also be the whereabouts of the silver wire. In addition, there are some small buzzing and vibrations coming from the cage.

The lights produced by the Ruju Jue floated on the roof, "Ying Yao" did not see the sun for a long time, and was so stimulated that tears fell down. Zhuo Yuanshan walked forward unmoved and maintained the brightness like the Jujutsu, and stretched out his hand Passing through the gap between the cage railings, he picked up the two silver wires that were submerged in his collar and tugged hard.

"I don't seem to have allowed you to enter the cage alone," he tentatively asked, "Why did you disobey me?"

The heart demon attached to Zhuo Yuanshan's heels intoxicatedly took a breath of the emotions of indifference and ruthlessness that appeared on him, and said silently like a whisper: "Yes, that's it..."

It smiled happily: "The more you want to leave me as soon as possible, the more you can do it, the taste of life and death is so good, you think about it, think about it."

"I really want to know what it is when you see the real Ying Yao, but you think you are still in the illusion." It silently climbed up against Zhuo Yuanshan's calf for a while, and slowly slipped into it. into his flesh, whispering, "Will you destroy him, or will you kill him?"

Zhuo Yuanshan couldn't hear the voice of the demon, so he pulled out "Ying Yao"'s mouth, folded his arms and prepared to hear what new tricks the demon made up.

Ying Yao's primordial spirit came out from between the eyebrows holding the World-Saving Sword and Sword Spirit, settled his body, jumped to the front of Zhuo Yuan Mountain against the dim light of the red mist, shrunk down to the size of a palm in an instant, stretched out his hand and tapped on it twice , the white wolf primordial spirit who fell in the sea of ​​consciousness twitched, his eyelids moved slightly, but failed to open.

Save Su Jian chattered endlessly: "A Yao wants to save him? It's too cheap for him."

"No, isn't the heart demon something that you can only defeat by yourself?" Seeing that Shimmer didn't intend to give way to him, Ying Yao turned around and flew down to find Dace to practice his sword, and said absently, "The wound is too itchy to grow new flesh. I'll come out and hide for a while."
