Chapter fifty-seven: maple leaves red as blood

Surrounding the Ghost Teeth Martial God Sword seeking defeat and the "horrifying and murderous battle", the powerful martial gods each have their own thoughts and plans. On the Ghost Teeth Island, the surface situation is very calm, but in fact it is undercurrents and the atmosphere is turbulent.

However, no matter what others think or do, Lan Hai is always out of the matter and ignores all the movements on the island. For three days, his life has been extremely regular and leisurely. He enjoys the blooming and falling flowers in the courtyard, and watches the clouds rolling and unfolding outside the sky. He regards a ghost-tooth island that is as beautiful as a dragon and tiger den as a resort. The other people on the island, regardless of the sword, the wind guard, or Ryosuke, Bai Shinian and others, have disappeared in these three days, and they don’t know what corner they hide and plan what they want to do.

The Blue Ocean is happy to travel with beauty every day. During the day, accompanied by Shimako, she travels all the scenery on the island that is worth enjoying. At night, she either goes deep into the mountains and forests, or throws into the sea, searches for delicacies and cooks into various delicious dishes. In Shimako's consciousness, she automatically makes up for the rest of the trip to this beautiful island with her husband. She is already satisfied with being able to spend almost 24 hours with her beloved husband.

The mood was pleasant and the food was delicious. The previous haggardness had already been wiped out. The pale face also regained its rosyness. Invisibly, it added a bit of amazing charm and beauty to the beautiful young woman.

On the night of the third day of the island, Xiaoxue, with exhaustion, came to the small wooden house on the cliff to visit Shizuko. Although she had completely lost her memory for the past month, Shizuko also had no impression of being taken care of by Xiaoxue since she came to the island. But she was strangely still remembering Xiaoxue's name, and even invited Xiaoxue into the house with a mistress.

Seeing Mrs. Takeda who was still full of sorrow yesterday, she suddenly became radiant today, and Xiaoxue was naturally confused and confused. She casually comforted her words such as "A person cannot be resurrected by death, please be mournful and follow the changes." Unexpectedly...

"Miss Xiaoxue, what are you talking about?" A daze appeared between the stroking eyebrows, but then he suddenly realized something and chuckled, "Ah, I know. Miss Xiaoxue is joking, right? But this joke is very bad. Because A Gang is obviously there."

"Madam Takeda, what did you say?" Xiaoxue was shocked suddenly, and she couldn't help but turn around and looked in the direction of Shinko's finger. In an instant, Lan Hai took off her shirt and chopped firewood from the open space in front of the wooden house. Xiaoxue immediately felt shocked and surprised, and she couldn't say a word for a long time.

After finally coming back to his senses, Xiaoxue turned back to look at Fuko in disbelief and stuttered: "Ta, Mrs. Takeda, do you say he... he is Mr. Takeda? But... but... how could it be? You didn't... you were not wrong? He was clearly... clearly..."

"It's clearly A Gang, how could you make a mistake?" The word "happiness" was filled with the thick words of Fuzi's eyebrows. When he spoke, he always had a sweet smile on his lips. He didn't care about Xiaoxue's problem that was obviously extremely rude under normal circumstances. He said: "It's my own husband. As a couple for ten years, I remember every feature of A Gang clearly. Miss Xiaoxue, what's wrong with you today? You're talking so strange?"

"Miss Xiaoxue wants to take care of her grandfather and brother, maybe she is too tired." Lan Hai walked into the house with a large bundle of firewood that had been chopped. He looked around and his sharp eyes fell on Xiaoxue, making her feel that the thorns were on her back, and she felt a thorn on her back. Then she heard Lan Hai snorting softly and said, "It's not too early, Miss Xiaoxue, you should go back too, right? It's hard to walk on the mountain road, I'll give you a ride."

Xiaoxue was granted a general amnesty, nodded vigorously, stood up and said weakly: "Yes. Xiaoxue should go back to cook for her grandfather. Mrs. Takeda, please rest with peace of mind. Hai... Mr. Takeda, no need to send it away. Xiaoxue can leave by herself." As she spoke, she shrank a little, passed by Lan Hai, hurried out, and walked down the mountain as if she ran away.

Lan Hai raised his sword eyebrows lightly and turned around and ordered, "Fuzi, I'll go see Miss Xiaoxue off. Come back soon." He put down the firewood, stared at Xiaoxue's back, and stepped out. In the blink of an eye, he caught up from behind and reached out to slap Xiaoxue's shoulder. He said lightly, "What are you doing when you walk so fast? I'm in a hurry?"

Xiaoxue was already worried, and suddenly she was slapped by Lan Hai on her shoulder like this. She was shocked in an instant and couldn't help but scream. Lan Hai reached out to cover her mouth in time, and scolded her with anger and amused: "There is no need to be so exaggerated, right? Miss Xiaoxue. I am not a poisonous snake, I can't bite people."

Xiaoxue's whole body was weak and she could hardly stand even. She opened her eyes wide, her face turned pale, and she looked at Lan Hai in horror, and said in a trembling voice: "You... are you... Mr. Hailan, or Takeda Takashi? Are you a human? Or... or... yes..." She spent a lot of effort, but she didn't dare to say the word "ghost" blocking her throat.

To scare a girl, such boring things would never be done if it was the Blue Ocean before going to the island. However, in the past few days, he has transformed himself into "Takashi Takeda" and accompanied Shinko as a "husband". Invisibly, even his "Blue Ocean" personality has changed a little. The most obvious thing is that his attitude has become much more relaxed and softer when dealing with people, and is no longer always tough as before. At this moment, when Xiaoxue asked such a ridiculous question, he smiled again and asked deliberately: "How about a human being? So what if it is a ghost? Are you afraid of a ghost?"

Xiaoxue was stunned for a moment, and the fear between her eyebrows gradually disappeared, and the one who replaced it was a little sad. She sighed softly and said, "Yes, Mr. Takeda. Actually, Xiaoxue should not be afraid. Even if you are a ghost, a ghost like you, who is affectionate and righteous, is much more kind than those cruel and ruthless people. Since... Since Xiaoxue has been with the evil ghost in the human world for more than ten years, then why should she be afraid of a good person like you, Mr. Takeda?"

"The cruel and ruthless evil ghost in the world? Who are you referring to?" There was something hidden in Xiaoxue's words. Lan Hai immediately noticed it. He put away his slight joking expression before and said in a deep voice: "Miss Xiaoxue, do you know something? When I just came to the island one day, you said that you had forgotten the death of both parents of your parents. You were lying at that time, right?"

"Why..." Xiaoxue was stunned again, then woke up from a dream, exclaiming: "You are either Takeda Takashi, or Mr. Hailan! But...ah, I understand. Mrs. Takeda...she is spirit...spirit..." Sympathy and pity rose to the lake of heart at the same time. Xiaoxue sighed sadly, understanding everything. With a little envy, she whispered: "Mr. Hailan, you are such a good person. Mrs. Takeda is so lucky. But..."

Xiaoxue sighed again and said with emotion: "Mrs. Takeda is also a very kind and good person, and Mr. Takeda is even more innocent. If he follows his grandfather's script completely, then this drama is really miserable. They shouldn't have ended that way. Mr. Hailan, do you know? When Mrs. Takeda first came to the island, she cried every day. It was so pitiful. And I... didn't have much to do. I can only comfort her and ask her to endure it strongly, and say that Mr. Takeda will definitely take her home, wait, and so on. But..."

Xiaoxue paused and said sadly: "In fact, I'm lying. Mr. Hailan, since you already know everything and tomorrow is the day of the 'Horror and Homicide Battle', then Xiaoxue doesn't have to hide anything anymore. Grandpa... No, you should be very clear about what kind of person he is, right? So Xiaoxue has long understood that with the old style of the cold-blooded evil ghost, it is impossible for Mr. Takeda and his wife to leave safely and return to live a peaceful life again."

Lan Hai refused to comment and said lightly: "What do you mean by saying these words to me?"

Xiaoxue silently refused. She lowered her head, as if she was considering something important. After a while, she finally let out a long breath, clenched her fists hard, made up her mind to look at Lan Hai, and said in a voice: "Mr. Hailan, there are some things that I want to show you no matter what. May I ask, is it delaying your time?"

Xiaoxue's attitude seemed extremely solemn, and Lan Hai couldn't help but aroused her curiosity. The so-called skillful and brave, so naturally she was fearless. He nodded and made a gesture to let Xiaoxue lead the way. Xiaoxue took a deep breath, then turned around and walked into the dense forest. Lan Hai followed her, slowly and like a shadow. In just over twenty minutes, the scenery in front of her suddenly changed. The originally lush and green forest suddenly turned red. It was maple trees, thousands of maple trees growing over the entire valley. Although it was not autumn now, the leaves on the trees were still red. However, the color was not the fiery red that Lan Hai saw when he visited Beijing Xiangshan Park, but... dark red like blood!

The moment he walked into the maple forest, Lan Hai suddenly felt his body become heavier. The breeze blew, the branches and leaves swayed, and rustling sounds came from his ears. There was no feeling of relaxation and joy, but it was like a crying ghost, which made people shudder. At this moment, Xiaoxue, who was walking in front, stopped first and whispered: "Here. Mr. Hailan, it's here. Look."

The Blue Ocean breathed heavily and dispelled the strange feeling from his heart. He looked up and saw a large open space in the middle of the valley surrounded by maple trees. The open space was densely packed with at least dozens of slightly raised loess bundles. On each loess bundle, a sword was inserted into the soil like a tombstone. Although it was exposed to the sun, rain, wind and frost, most of the sword weapons still flashed with light without any trace of rust. It is obvious that these weapons are rare magic weapons.

Lan Hai raised his thick eyebrows, raised his hand to point at the loess buns, and asked, "What are these?"

"It is the last destination of all the powerful men who have stepped on Guiya Island in the past few decades. Dao Qiubai uses all his best in order to improve his skills and find opponents. Mr. Hailan, you should know how cruel and vicious his methods are. "Xiaoxue turned her back to Lanhai and lowered her head and said quietly: "It has been thirty years. Under Dao Qiubai's grandfather's urgency, they came to Guiya Island to participate in the 'horrifying and murderous battle'. Some wanted to take revenge, some wanted to save their relatives, and some wanted to gain invincible power in the world. But these wishes were all lost without exception. Some were tortured to the point of collapse in the game, while others left their own way because of despair. But there was no difference. Because in the end, they had only one fate - to sleep in the loess. Among them... also include my father and mother."

Xiaoxue turned around, smiled sadly, and said, "Mr. Hailan, do you know? The maple trees here are like other places, and only in autumn will change color. But I don't know when they have changed. Regardless of spring, summer, autumn and winter, the trees here will always be red, like blood. There is no way to explain it, I can only imagine that it is because of the blood and resentment of those strong people, which will change them forever."

"Absurd and nonsense." Lan Hai said lightly: "There may be souls in the world, but even ghosts have no power to change things in reality." His tone was firm and could not be questioned at all. Because this is the most realistic experience. The Blue Hai, which died in an accident in the 21st century, once drifted in a state of soul for more than five thousand years. During this period, the Blue Hai was completely unable to contact the real world in any form, and could not even feel the changes in the outside world. It was not until he combined with the Blue Hai of the Martial God Century that everything was changed. Therefore, Xiaoxue said that the strong men who died on the island were constantly in trouble, and Lan Hai would never believe it.

Xiaoxue smiled bitterly, raised her hand and stretched her hair, raised her head and closed her eyes, letting the sobbing and cold wind blow on her face, murmured like a dream, "Maybe Mr. Hailan, you're right. Death should be like a lamp extinguished, and it's over. If you continue to be entangled with resentment and entanglement in the past after death, wouldn't that be pitiful? But Mr. Hailan, do you know? There are 67 graves here, and 82 people are buried in it. At least half of them were buried by my brother and I. So..."

Xiaoxue subconsciously hugged her shoulders and lowered her head and said sadly: "Every time I come to this place, I can't help but tremble all over. The air here is so heavy, so heavy. It even makes people feel that there is no way to breathe. As long as you close your eyes, the strong men who were buried by me with their own hands, the resentment and anxiety before they died, will immediately appear in front of you... Mr. Hailan, although I know I am still alive, living like this is actually a difference with going to hell again? I have had enough, I have had enough!"

Lan Hai looked solemn and said in a voice: "Although I don't fully understand, but... it's understandable. So, what do you want to do if you say these words to me?"

Xiaoxue opened her eyes and said word by word: "Kao seeks defeat! This cold-blooded demon is the root of all pain. So, I want to kill him!"

Lan Hai smiled and shook his head and said, "It's impossible. You are just an ordinary woman. Even if you add your brother, you will definitely not be the opponent of Dao Qiuzhuo."

"Yes. So I have to ask someone else for help." Xiaoxue looked straight at Lan Hai and said, "Mr. Hailan, since you are not Mr. Takeda who has become a ghost, you still have to participate in the game "Scary and Mass Fighting". In other words, the situation between you and Mrs. Takeda has not changed at all. The chances of leaving Guiya Island safely are very slim. However, if you can work together with your brother to help each other, you may be able to pass all the levels in front of "Scary and Mass Fighting" and come to Dao Qiubai."

"Go to the front of Dao Qiubai, and then what? Draw the knife and chop it immediately?" Lan Hai hugged his arms and asked with interest. Xiaoxue nodded vigorously and said, "The difficulty of the level of the 'Shocking and Killing Fight' is not something that ordinary people can imagine. According to common sense, even if someone survives, he is exhausted. And this is also the time when Dao Qiubai has the lowest alertness."

Xiaoxue paused and continued: "The purpose of holding this perverted game by Dao Qiubai is to find opponents who can fight with him and find his perverted happiness from it. Those who pass the game test have this qualification. Therefore, he will generously let the winner go back and recuperate for a few days, and wait until his state is fully restored before he starts to enjoy the battle. If he suddenly attacks him at this moment, the possibility of success is at least about 70% or 80%."

"It sounds good, but you overlooked one thing." Lan Hai shook his head and said, "Even with your brother's help, after passing all the levels, our physical strength will inevitably be consumed a lot. Even if we succeed in the sneak attack, we will inevitably counterattack wildly, and your brother may not be able to withstand it. So what should we do?"

"This... don't worry. Because even if there is a counterattack, it must be very weak. Because the poison on the body of the sword will attack at the most appropriate time." Xiaoxue said softly: "It is the poison of the 'Sleeping Stone Dragon'. Although it will not be fatal, even if you are a powerful martial god in the twenty-level heaven, you will feel dizzy and sleepy. At most, you can only lift half of the strength of ten years.

Another sad smile, Xiaoxue said: "Since seven years ago, every time I cook for the knife, I will definitely poison the meal, even if the food I eat together is no exception. Over time, he has been poisoned very deeply. Even if he uses the magnetic field force to suppress it, he is almost at the limit. Tonight, I will put more medicine three times the weight of the usual portion. In this way, when the "horror and murder battle" ends, all the poison accumulated over the years will occur. Mr. Hailan, do you understand? This is our only and the last and best opportunity. Please, please join forces with us to punish this ruthless demon, is it okay?"
