Volume One Five Elements Chapter 31 Betrayal and Loneliness(1/2)

His eyes slowly adapted to the light, and there were roars of anger in his ears. A world outside the door unfolded before Cui Qi's eyes.

At his feet is the white jade stone of the Taiji Hall of the Daqian Palace. In front of him are the three-story Yunlong Stone Steps, each with thirty-three steps, for a total of ninety-nine steps. The wide square under the stone steps was crowded with people armed to the teeth. Soldiers.

"Cui Qi, a spy from the demon race, plotted to murder the Holy Emperor and the Crown Prince, and is guilty of breaking a car..."

His Highness was scolded angrily. Cui Qi looked intently and saw an unusually tall general with a helmet and armor riding a horse forward. He also held a large iron spear measuring one foot and three feet in his hand.

Cui Qi frowned slightly. He was very familiar with the general's figure. He was a brother who shared life and death. But now, the brother was pointing an iron gun at him.

Kill the emperor, kill the prince, how could it be possible? Cui Qi couldn't help but look back and glanced at the main hall behind him.

Under the flickering candlelight, Cui Qi saw an old man wearing a dragon robe being nailed to a dragon chair, with another person curled up in a pool of blood at his feet.

Faintly, Cui Qi saw the back of a person holding a bloody sword. He suddenly turned around and smiled at him.

What a long face, a face that never smiles, a face that looks uglier when you smile than when you cry.

That person, that face, suddenly disappeared.

"Cui Qi, I treat you like a brother and sister, but you betrayed your trust and harmed my father and eldest brother..."

Cui Qi turned around suddenly, only to see the long, disappeared face appearing under the stone steps, dressed in brocade clothes and jade robes, glaring at him angrily.

In the square, the soldiers suddenly separated on both sides, and saw a beautiful woman in a bird skirt walking forward.

The beautiful woman's eyes were as charming as silk, and she took the three donkeys' arms affectionately, and looked at Cui Qi arrogantly.

"Pretending to be a prince and destroying the marriage between the two countries, you deserve to die..."

As the beautiful woman finished speaking, eight more soldiers emerged from the crowd.

I saw eight soldiers suddenly pulling out the swords from their waists and resolutely cutting off their sleeves and robes...

After Cui Qi opened the door, his expression changed again and again, becoming extremely pale.

I am alone, with no relatives of my own flesh and blood.

The master he saw when he opened his eyes was thinking about the person who wanted to kill him.

He didn't care about many people or things in his life. Those years in the Death Corridor were a nostalgia he couldn't bear to let go.

But today, the brothers turned against each other and cut off their robes...

What is left of him and what is the meaning of his survival? It’s terrifying to think about it.

Cui Qi backed up with difficulty, as if neither of his legs belonged to him. He stepped back behind the door, he was about to wake up from his dream...

The palace door closes one world and opens another. A world that Cui Qi seems to have never set foot on.

There, he saw a man in black robe passing by with a sword...

Seeing the three donkeys ascending the throne as emperor...

Seeing my aunt helping Tieshan to become the head of the family...

I saw eight brothers fighting in the corridor of death...

Year after year passed, no one here knew him, he was just like a passerby, and no one was willing to take another look at him.

Cui Qi stood on the stone street where people came and went, feeling confused and sweating on his forehead...

"People live a boring life and live alone. It is better to die than to live..."

Cui Qi raised his head and saw the third princess of Kun Kingdom leaning on the building, smiling like a poem. But the words she said told him to die.

Loneliness is the great fear, the fear that drives people crazy.

Cui Qi felt his blood coagulated and his limbs stiff, but he still stubbornly turned around and pushed open the palace door...

The world behind the door is full of blood.

It was still in front of the palace, but the difference was that he was standing with a sword, and at his feet were the corpses of his eight brothers.

At the bottom of the steps, Tieshan rode his horse up, stepped across the royal road and stabbed him with a spear...

"You are just a bastard. You have no qualifications to be reviled by others. You should die without a complete body..."

Behind the three donkeys, the beautiful smiling face looked a bit ferocious, and the words he spoke were even more vicious.

Cui Qi looked at the bloody sword and retreated reflexively, but he stumbled over the corpse at his feet. He staggered and crashed into the palace door behind him...

In the desolate stone street, there is a moon. A woman leans on the building and sighs...

Cui Qi fell from nightmare into another nightmare, repeating the cycle again and again, and passed through spring, summer, autumn and winter like this.

Winter passes and spring comes, one season after another, one year after another...

He only remembered that he had pushed open a door before and had a dream within a dream. However, now he could not tell which was a dream and which was reality. He did not know where to wake up.

------------------

Under the moon, the wind and snow are still there, but only one floor of Babel is still lit.

Xuanyuan Ziyi failed to climb up to the fourth floor, white fox like clothes failed to climb up to the fourth floor, and Yi Zhang Hong also folded and settled in the sand on the third floor. As for the unknown one, he was sleeping soundly these days.

Tieshan saw that there were fewer and fewer candidates around him, and he couldn't help but frown and said, "Isn't it hard to get past the first floor?"

The three donkeys had a straight face and said coldly: "Tou is better than you and me, both in terms of cultivation and mind."

Xuanyuan Ziyi frowned and said, "But what's pressing in his heart is more and heavier than the two of you. It's hard to say whether he can withstand a layer of great fear."

Jade Qingdai frowned: "What on earth did you see? Why didn't I see anything?"

The second gentleman turned around and looked at Jade Qingdai for a long time, and suddenly said: "If the leakage is completely open, the seven emotions cannot be eliminated. You can't see the seven emotions because you don't eat the fireworks of the world. In this regard, you are very much like one of my schoolmates...

…”

Joy, anger, sadness, fear, love, evil, and desire are seven emotions that humans have, and demons also have.

The Tongtian Tower in Yunzhong City is named Huanglong. But the students at Yunzhong College all call it the Seven Emotions Tower. This is because each level will test an emotion. If you cannot pass it, you will be thrown out of the tower.

The seven emotions of a person are tested, so is the pagoda alive, or is the Yellow Dragon manifesting itself? Students have asked these questions, but to no avail. Because the dean refused to say it, the second gentleman would not say it.

Cui Qi is still on the first floor, and an hour has passed because the light on the second floor has not yet come on.

Now, except for Mr. Er and Xuanyuan Ziyi, there are no other candidates under the tower.

An hour is not long, but to Cui Qi, it is like a hundred years.

The scenes Cui Qi walked through, minute by minute, painting after painting, were all so real, making him painful and desperate.

It's a stone street again, and the moon is high in the sky. No one in this world knows him, he is just a passerby time and time again.

But this time, Cui Qi had a direction and goal.

He climbed up the stairs and came to the bird skirt. He smiled.

Jade Qingdai looked at the moonlight, as if she didn't see Cui Qi's hand holding the sword, and remained calm and calm.

"Other candidates who fail the exam will be thrown out by you. Why do you want to kill me when they come to my place?"

Jade Qingdai smiled like a fox, tilted her head and said, "Young Master, what are you talking about?"

Cui Qi smiled and said: "In that world, I killed ten brothers. You are the only one left."

"What are you talking nonsense about? Why are you talking to me?"

Cui Qi leaned on the balcony, stared at Yu Qingdai and smiled: "Because when I first saw you, you were beautiful, pure, and approachable."

Jade Qingdai frowned slightly: "What about now."

"People are as beautiful as monsters."

As he spoke, Cui Qi pulled out his long knife and placed it on his fair neck...

"You want to kill me."

Cui Qi nodded and said: "Because in that world, you are among thousands of armies, and I can't kill you."

"Why kill?"

Cui Qi smiled and said: "All of them are people I have met before, and they will act according to the person in my heart. Only you have been bewitching me and want me to commit suicide."

Yu Qingdai frowned and said, "How did you see that?"

Cui Qi said: "No one in this world talks to me, except you."

Jade Qingdai said: "I just sighed to the moon, when will I talk to you."

Cui Qi said: "Now."

Jade Qingdai said: "Why me? Is it because of what I said?"

"Not entirely, because you thought I wouldn't kill you, so you became her."

Yu Qingdai's face suddenly turned cold and stern: "Then what are you waiting for?"

Cui Qi gently held out the long knife, causing his fair neck to turn red. "I just want to tell you that you can't kill me."

Yu Qingdai sneered: "You have to die. Even if I can't kill you, the guys at the top will kill you. You are neither a human nor a monster, and you shouldn't live in this world."

Cui Qi smiled, very happily this time.

"Thanks."
