    Chapter 223 [Jiaoshan] Xiaoyaoyou

    Where is the torrent rushing towards them?It is clearly a stream of poisonous snakes!

    There was chaos in the narrow corridor. You pushed me and I squeezed you. Many people were trampled to death in an instant. Jiang Xi pushed Nangong Si forward: “You go first, I will deal with it here.”

    As he spoke, glittering powder began to scatter from his sleeves. When the snakes smelled the powder, they all froze, curling up in place and not daring to move forward.

    Jiang Xi shouted angrily to the front: “Calm down, everyone, retreat to the middle hall quickly, don’t crowd!”

    He calmed down the snake tide, and then quickly caught up with the large army. When he retreated to the stone gate, he found Nangong Si there looking at the Tenglong relief. He asked Nangong Si: “What’s going on?”

    “The demon dragon must be under control.” Nangong Si said, “I want to go back and check the situation of the Dragon Soul Pond.”

    As he was about to leave, Jiang Xi grabbed him: “What about the snakes at the back? I didn’t bring too much dispelling powder. They will definitely come back after the effect of the medicine wears off.”

    Ye Wangxi, who was standing aside, said, “I’ll come.”

    She had been taught in the Confucian Confucian Dark City since she was a child, so she was better at fighting alone in dark and narrow places than anyone else. Although Nangong Si didn’t want her to stay, Ye Wangxi looked determined, and there really was no more suitable choice besides her, so in the end Nangong Si had to pat her on the shoulder.

    “It’s too dark in here. I know you don’t like it. Just watch for a while and I’ll be back soon.”

    Jiang Xi and Nangong Si were the last to come out of the corridor. As soon as they came out, Huang Xiaoyue rushed forward with a fierce attitude, which was really not what an old man with white hair and beard should look like.

    “Nangong Si! Do you still dare to say that it wasn’t you?”

    Nangong Si had been holding back for a long time, but at this moment, he finally reached the limit. He shouted angrily: “It’s me who did this, can you still stand here properly? Go away, don’t block the way!”

    Huang Xiaoyue was startled at first, and then nodded his nose: “Look, look, the mask is torn off, right? The fox’s tail is exposed, right? You’ve been pretending to be a grandson, and now that you’re in your realm, your voice has become louder. Do you think you’re still the heir apparent of the all-powerful Confucian sect? How dare you be so arrogant!”

    “Huang Xiaoyue.”

    Besides Nangong Si, there is another person who can endure to the limit.

    Jiang Xi couldn’t help but touch his upper teeth against his lower teeth, and said solemnly: “Don’t think I don’t know what you want to do with your aggressiveness.”

    Huang Xiaoyue suddenly retracted her hand, her face changed, but she still managed to stay calm: “Master Jiang may not understand my feelings. The Rufeng Sect and I have a grudge against my younger brother. I…”

    “I really can’t understand Taoist Huang’s mood.” Jiang Xi rolled his eyes and looked at him coldly, “I really have no interest at all in the Confucianism Sect’s treasure chamber.”

    He’s eyes were like two unsheathed sharp knives. Huang Xiaoyue suddenly took two steps back and stared at Jiang Xi blankly. His lips opened and closed, but he was unable to say a word.

    Jiang Xi said: “Nangong, go check it out.”

    However, the Dragon Soul Pond is just a small pond with clear walls and an unobstructed view. After careful observation for several times, he found nothing unusual. Nangong Si shook his head and said, “I’ll go to the front hall and take another look.”

    The furnishings in the front hall are much more complicated, not to mention there are so many precious chess pieces. Nangong Liu was left in the hall before, and when Nangong Si entered, he was sleeping soundly holding the basket of oranges.

    He stood in front of his father for a while, his eyes blank and empty, but his eyes turned red involuntarily.He didn’t dare to stand any longer, and he didn’t wake up his father who was made into a chess piece. Instead, he looked at the chess pieces one by one, hoping to get some clues.

    When everyone was in the front hall just now, he had no time to take a closer look. He only knew that this place was divided into two parts: “Bliss” and “Purgatory”. At this moment, he looked around one by one, but found many old friends. He saw the fourth uncle who had always had a bad relationship with Xu Shuanglin trapped in “Purgatory” and was roasted on the fire. He saw the maids in the Sansheng Villa playing fireflies and catching butterflies in the “Bliss” place…

    He even saw his grandfather.

    But Nangong Si didn’t have much time to feel sad, because he suddenly felt that he was about to see someone, someone…

    Then he heard it.

    In the flood of murmurs, he heard it.

    A trembling sound, as light as a mosquito’s moan——

    “Si’er…”

    Nangong Si was struck like five thunders, and before he could turn around, his eyes were wet with tears.

    He turned around, and in the hazy mist, he only saw a blurry azure figure, he ran hastily towards the figure, he shouted hoarsely: “Aniang! Aniang!!”

    Tears flowed down and fell, and then he saw clearly.

    In the world of “Bliss”, there is a person standing in Pingting, who is Nangong Si’s mother Rong Yan.Like Nangong Changying, this woman also has extremely strong determination, and Xu Shuanglin retains the character of a chess piece in the palace, so even though Nangong Si is very different from when he was a child, she was still able to recognize him when Nangong Si came into her field of vision with his broken body.

    She trembled and stretched out her numb fingers to Nangong Si with great difficulty: “Si…er…”

    The clothes Rong Yan was wearing were exactly the ones Nangong Si wore when he last saw her.As he knelt in front of her, he seemed to have returned to the past overnight, to that seemingly ordinary night in Rufengmen.The mother went to the child’s study to look for him. The moon was full outside the window.

    Nangong Si knelt in front of her, and he looked up at her. There were many things he wanted to say, but the last thing he said was a trembling sentence: “A-niang… to be praised by the whole world without persuading her, and to be criticized by the whole world without being discouraged…”

    Time has gone backwards.

    The stern mother of the past stood by the window of the mansion, frowning and asked: “What is the last sentence of “doing things in the world without being depressed”?

    The childish person hesitated, but couldn’t answer.

    Later, she left too suddenly. When he knelt in front of her dark coffin, he still could not recite completely the last volume of scripture that his mother asked him to recite before she was alive.

    This sentence, “Praise the whole world without persuading, disapprove throughout the world without discouraging”, has finally settled down after more than ten years.

    He knelt in front of her, still in the same posture as when he parted with Yue Ye. Their figures finally overlapped with those of the past, but they were full of resentment at the beginning, but now they are heartbroken, and the beautiful face on the temples at that time has finally become a chess piece of He.

    Rong Yan stroked Nangong Si’s hair and cheek, and finally held his blood-stained hand, she closed her eyes tremblingly.

    “Si’er, my mother’s body is now controlled, like the flesh on her head, and she will lose consciousness at any time… But Si’er, you have to believe… these words of my mother are all sincere… they were all what my mother was thinking about before she left. Although my mother hates your uncle for doing this… but I am also grateful to him…”

    “Aunt…”

    “If he…had not made me into a chess piece, how could I have seen you again…and…tell you…” Rong Yan leaned over stiffly and slowly, her body trembling, stretched out her hand, and then hugged Nangong Si tightly into her arms.

    “Before I left, my biggest regret was…” She choked up and choked, but it was not because she wanted to be controlled by Xu Shuanglin again. She hugged her child so tightly, she said tremblingly, “What I regret most is that I have never, never hugged you so well. I have never hugged you like this… Si’er…”

    “Aniang loves you too.”

    Nangong Si was already crying: “I know…I know everything, mother, I have known it for a long time.”

    Suddenly, the ground began to shake again. Rong Yan suddenly shuddered, opened her eyes, and murmured: “Wangli’s blood contract is about to be torn…”

    “What?”

    “Wangli’s blood contract is about to be torn! I’m here, I can see it every day!” Rong Yan suddenly became nervous, “Si’er, nothing can happen to you, I’m going to stop him… I’m going to stop Nangong Xu…”

    Nangong Si wiped her tears and pulled her: “Auntie, what do you see here? What kind of blood contract is about to be torn?”

    “Listen.” Rong Yan paused, her pupils shrank, and for a moment she seemed to be controlled by others, but she clenched her roots tightly and relied on her body and mind to block Zhenlong Heizi’s control. “Listen, Nangong Xu has collected five divine weapons. These five divine weapons have drunk the blood of thousands of people. Together, they can cut off the bond between the demon dragon and the Nangong family.”

    “Cut the ties?!”

    “Yes, Long Jin was the first to have his ties severed.”

    Nangong Si was horrified: “So the zombies that suddenly emerged outside were actually out of control because their dragon tendons were severed?”

    “That’s right.” Rong Yan said hoarsely, “The second one is dragon scale.”

    Nangong Si suddenly thought that the poisonous snakes he encountered just now should all be transformed into dragon scales.

    “Third, it’s the dragon’s tail.”

    Nangong Si lost count and said, “The shock just now, was the bond between the dragon’s tail broken?!”

    “Yes, then the dragon’s head, and finally the dragon’s body.” Rong Yan said, “Once Nangong Xu succeeds in using the fifth divine weapon, the entire Jiao Mountain will lose control… never again… will never recognize the master as the master…”

    Her expression became painful again, and she couldn’t say anything more for a moment. Xu Shuanglin seemed to have noticed what she was doing, and was trying his best to devour her body.

    Rong Yan wailed lowly, burying her long and pale fingers tightly between her buns: “No… no…”

    “Aniang!”

    “Si, Si’er…”

    The sound of he suddenly woke her up again. She was like a person on the verge of dying of thirst who found a sweet spring. She held he tightly, her expression was a little panicked and helpless.

    That was the helplessness he had never seen on her face.

    Nangong Si was heartbroken, and he hugged her into his arms. Before he was a child, A Niang was always cold and serious, and rarely hugged him.

    Now he can finally protect his grandma.

    Although it is just a mirror image, there is only a little bit of consciousness from life hidden in a body, and there is no longer even a soul.

    That’s enough.

    Rong Yan was hunched over and trembling slightly in Nangong Si’s arms. After a long time, she raised her face again. Her face was already covered with blood and tears shed as a Zhenlong chess piece.

    Nangong Si’s throat felt bitter, and he raised his hand to wipe her, but no matter how he wiped it, it was still dirty. No matter how he wiped it, the blood stains could not be wiped away. He closed his eyes in pain.

    Rong Yan said: “I can feel that he… he has noticed me… I don’t have much time… Listen, he broke the blood contract because… he wanted to renew the contract with the demon dragon. By then… ah!!”

    She was confused and found it difficult to continue.

    But Nangong Si suddenly understood, and the last trace of color on his face disappeared: “At that time, Wangli will only listen to his orders, and none of us in Jiaoshan can escape?!”

    “This must not be the case…”

    “This must not be the case!”

    Mother and son actually said the same thing.

    Nangong Si lowered his head to look at his mother: “Do you know what to do?”

    “Nangong Xu can’t practice enough…” Rong Yan’s face flashed with a chill, “he… he couldn’t control Zhenlong’s chess pieces at all… so there was a backlash, and because of this, I… can understand a thing or two about his heart… I know what to do – you listen to me.”

    Rong Yan held Nangong Si’s arm, her eyes swept over her inch by inch, and finally fell on her husband.

    Because the earth had just shaken, Nangong Liu was awakened by the shock. He was holding his basket of oranges and looking around in confusion, as if he didn’t know what to do.

    She stares at him closely, like an eagle staring at a snake in its burrow.

    “Someone needs to die.” Rong Yan opened her lips and said, “Si’er, go and kill him.”
