    Volume 5: Blessings from Heavenly Officials Chapter 199 The Gods and Men of Heaven and Earth Break the Bronze Furnace

    Xie Lian was lying on the cold ground, his face covered with a sad and happy face that was half crying and half smiling. Bai Wuxiang was standing aside, seeming to be admiring his appearance, which was exactly the same as his own.

    The sad and happy face pressed tightly against Xie Lian’s face with a strange force, and he couldn’t pull it off no matter what.Bai Wuxiang said: “Wear it. Don’t struggle in vain. Do you want to get out? As long as you do what I say, you can break through the copper furnace quickly.”

    Xie Lian just pretended that he didn’t exist.

    Bai Wuxiang was always troubled by him, but he always refused to give up, sighing: “We could have been the strongest master, apprentice and best friend, why do you have to be so rebellious?”

    Xie Lian finally stopped and said disgustedly: “Don’t teach me with a tone that has seen through the vicissitudes of people’s hearts. I really don’t want to have a teacher and friend like you at all.”

    His dislike was clearly revealed, Bai Wuxiang sneered: “I know that in your mind, the people who can teach you are the national master and Jun Wu, right?”

    His tone was strange, as if he was disdainful and amused.Xie Lian didn’t intend to get into trouble with him and asked something else: “Lang Ying, is the first prince of Yong’an Kingdom?”

    Lang Ying is from Yong’an and has suffered from human facial disease. The little prince is the only candidate Xie Lian can think of.Bai Wuxiang said: “Yes, it’s the prince who chopped Lang Ying’s body into pieces, knocked him unconscious and threw it in Yong’an Palace, and set a fire to send it to him.”

    Prince Yong’an was originally a nephew of Lang Ying. I am afraid that it was at that time that the remaining human face virus on Lang Ying’s body infected him.Xie Lian asked again: “Why didn’t his facial disease spread to others?”

    Bai Wuxiang said: “Because the people in Yong’an Palace discovered that he was infected. In order to prevent him from infecting others, they sent someone to quietly suffocate him with a quilt, but he fought back and ran away.”

    However, Yong’an announced to the outside world that the king of Yong’an and the prince were seriously ill and died, but for some unknown reason, internal fights broke out and another nephew of Lang Ying was appointed as the prince.This is Lang Qianqiu’s ancestor.

    Xie Lian said: “How did you deceive him?”

    Bai Wuxiang said: “I didn’t lie to him. I just told him the truth, who was the culprit who turned him into such a monster. As long as he lends me something, I will avenge him.”

    Thank you for your pity: “You call me lending you something? You swallowed him whole as nourishment.”

    Bai Wuxiang said calmly: “He looks like a human being or a ghost. No one treats him sincerely. He will suffer even if he stays in this world.”

    Suddenly, Xie Lian said: “His Royal Highness?”

    “…”

    For a moment, Xie Lian felt that the thing was meant to be.However, he held back.

    So, Xie Lian asked again tentatively: “You must be Prince Wuyong.”

    As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he felt that the hot air in the copper furnace solidified instantly.

    From the moment Xie Lian fell in, he was thinking about this issue.

    The reason why he can understand the human language spoken by the corpse rats must be because one of the three, Jun Wu, Guoshi, and Bai Wuxiang, implanted a certain memory and emotion in him.In other words, at least one of these three people is from Wuyong.Junwu was born later than Wuyong destroyed the country, and the national preceptor and Bai Wuxiang were the most suspected.

    Why was Huacheng rejected by Tonglu?It won’t be because he is a Jue, because Xie Lian confirmed to him that the Ghost King who has become a Jue can also enter the copper furnace again, just like the ascended priest can suffer another catastrophe.But he still disappeared halfway.The most direct reason Xie Lian can think of is that this copper furnace obeys Bai Wuxiang’s instructions!

    So, what is Bai Wuxiang’s most likely identity?

    After a while, there was a dead silence in the darkness, and Xie Lian reiterated with certainty: “You are Prince Wuyong.”

    Finally, Bai Wuxiang was silent no longer.

    He rushed towards Xie Lian, and the wind of his palm was extremely sharp. This time, it was Xie Lian’s turn to dodge.He jumped up and said while dodging: “His Royal Highness, let me ask you a question, why do you never show your true face to others?”

    Bai Wuxiang said in a deep voice: “Your Highness, I warn you not to call me that.”

    Xie Lian said: “You can call me His Royal Highness, why can’t I call you that? If you don’t answer, I will guess it myself. There are only two reasons why you don’t want others to see your true face. Either you are someone I know, or I don’t know you, but I can easily find out who you are as long as I see your real face; or, your true appearance is extremely ugly, so ugly that you can’t stand it! For example…”

    After two “哢哢” sounds, a sharp pain hit his arm. Bai Wuxiang pinched him hard and said: “Prince, Prince, can I be more kind to you, so you feel that you don’t need to be afraid of me?”

    The sound was filled with coldness, and Xie Lian remained conscious despite the severe pain.Bai Wuxiang seemed to be really angry. He held the black sword in one hand, approached Xie Lian, and said, “You named this sword Fangxin?”

    Seeing the sharp blade getting closer and closer to his throat, Xie Lian’s expression remained unchanged and he said, “Can’t you?”

    Bai Wuxiang hummed: “You don’t know how to name it at all. Listen carefully, the original name of this sword is ‘Heart-killing’.”

    Suddenly, Xie Lian opened his eyes wide and said: “Who is it?!”

    Bai Wuxiang didn’t look back and said, “Do you still want to use this trick against me to deal with children?”

    “…” Xie Lian was surprised and said, “You… didn’t notice?”

    Bai Wuxiang said coldly: “There is nothing, what should I find?”

    He didn’t notice it, but Xie Lian did.

    Just now, Fang Xin’s sword blade reflected the firelight on the ground, and the firelight flashed past the stone wall above the two of them.At this moment, Xie Lian saw a face.

    Xie Lian can guarantee that he saw it correctly. What he saw was definitely a human face, a huge human face!

    Bai Wuxiang’s cultivation level is only higher than Xie Lian’s but not lower than Xie Lian’s. How could he not notice it?

    Unless… that is something more terrifying than Bai Wuxiang!

    The time he saw that face was too short, but the vision remained in his memory. The face had all the features, and… it was somewhat familiar.Xie Lian felt slightly creepy and said: “There is something else in the copper furnace!”

    Bai Wuxiang said: “In the copper furnace, apart from you and me, there are only stones and magma.”

    Xie Lian was waiting to say more, but suddenly thought: “Wait… stone? Face? Does it look familiar?”

    With a flash of inspiration, he suddenly understood what he was seeing.

    so it is!

    Once he understood, Xie Lian quickly formed seals with his hands behind his back.Bai Wuxiang noticed his strange movement and said: “It’s useless, just forget it…”

    Unexpectedly, before they finished speaking, there was a loud crunching sound coming from behind the two of them.At the same time, rocks and mud fell down like a heavy rain!

    Bai Wuxiang sensed something coming towards him and dodged quickly.He was indeed dodging fast enough. No one could move faster than him. He should have been able to avoid it perfectly, but unfortunately, the thing that attacked him was too huge.

    It was a giant hand, with five fingers forming a fist, and it hit hard – hitting Bai Wuxiang squarely!

    This hand is a giant rock hand.

    It was so big that a fist alone could match the size of a large room. The fire on the ground could only illuminate this part, while the entire area above the wrist was immersed in darkness.

    Amidst the sound of rolling stones, it turned its hand over to Xie Lian, with its palm facing upwards.Although it is huge, its fingers are long and its knuckles are slender. It can hold flowers or hold a sword.Thanks to the sword, he climbed up from the ground and jumped into his palm.Just as the hand was about to lift him up, Xie Lian suddenly remembered that he had forgotten something and hurriedly said: “Wait!” He jumped down again, grabbed the bamboo hat, and jumped up again.Then, the giant hand rose, getting farther and farther away from the fire. Xie Lian also felt that it was rising higher and higher. He formed a seal with his hands again and said: “Charge out!”

    At the command, he felt a slight falling feeling, as if the giant holding him slightly bent his knees in preparation.The next moment, he felt his whole body sink suddenly, and the giant rose into the sky and crashed towards the closed crater of the copper furnace!

    Boom!Boom!Boom!

    Along with the violent vibration, Xie Lian heard an extremely obvious “哓哢” crackling sound.

    That was the sound of the rock being unable to withstand the fierce impact and about to break!

    Immediately, a ray of white light poured down from above.

    Rushed out!

    The roof of the copper furnace was broken open, a large amount of dazzling white light poured out like a waterfall, and a strong wind swept in, whistling.

    Xie Lian stood in the giant’s palm, holding the bamboo hat on his head with one hand, and covering the oncoming blizzard with the other.The sultry air was swept away, and he took a deep breath of cold and fresh air. He said loudly: “Sanlang——!!!”

    The first echo was still echoing when he was suddenly pulled into a hug by a pair of hands behind him.Xie Lian froze at first, then lowered his head. There was a piece of red sleeves and silver wristbands wrapped around his waist, and then he relaxed.A deep voice said above his ear: “…I’m going crazy!”

    Hearing this, Xie Lian quickly turned around, held his cheek with both hands and comforted him: “Don’t be crazy, don’t be crazy, I’m out!”

    It’s the Flower City.Huacheng’s black hair was messy, and his eyes were still a little absent-minded. Thanks to the sadness and joy that he couldn’t take off, he took them off and threw them away.Xie Lian didn’t know why he held his cheeks with both hands. He just did it subconsciously, probably to comfort him, or maybe because he was afraid that his face would be frozen by the snow.After all, as long as Xie Lian stayed in the copper furnace, Huacheng must have been guarding the crater for how long.

    We all went in together, but one of them was suddenly thrown out. We had no idea what was going on inside. Are we going crazy?

    Huacheng hugged Xie Lian tightly and said in a deep voice: “…I can’t get into the copper furnace no matter what, and I actually want you to break out by yourself! I’m so damn…”

    Xie Lian hurriedly said: “Sanlang is fine, really fine! Besides, I didn’t break out on my own!”

    Huacheng finally calmed down a little and said: “What? Brother, how did you come out?”

    Xie Lian said: “You helped me break out. Look.”

    As he spoke, he pointed upward, and Huacheng also looked in the direction he pointed.

    In the wind and snow, a giant statue carved from mountain rocks was covered with frost, faintly, as if standing tall against the sky.At this moment, the two of them were standing on the palms of the giant stone statue.

    The stone statue’s face has a soft outline, long eyebrows and beautiful eyes, good lip line, and the corners of the mouth are slightly raised, looking like a smile but not a smile.He is affectionate but not frivolous, ruthless but not cold. He has a compassionate and handsome face.

    ——It’s Xie Lian’s face!

    Xie Lian looked up at its face and whispered: “This is the best statue you have ever carved, right?”

    “…”

    Huacheng also looked up at it. After a long time, his eyes fell back to Xie Lian beside him and said: “Yeah.”

    This huge rock statue must have been carved inside when Huacheng was trapped in the copper furnace, tempered and in great pain.

    For hundreds of years it had been hidden in the darkness deep within the copper furnace, partially covered in ivy.The copper furnace is its natural and sinister grotto, and it is the only god in this most spectacular grotto.

    It is integrated with the copper stove and the material is the same.Otherwise, if it is just a statue made of ordinary rock, it will not be able to break through the copper furnace and will only be shattered into pieces; and if it is not Xie Lian himself, or if Huacheng does not give Xie Lian a wave of powerful enough magic power before they jump, it will not be able to summon the statue.

    Xie Lian turned to Huacheng and said: “So, Sanlang, I came out. You and I broke out together.”
