Chapter 227: Solving the Mystery
On the first day, it was the turn of the old lord to go out in search of water and food.
It's just that, at the end of the day, the old city lord didn't find anything.
The next day, it was still the old city lord who went out to look for water and food, but still found nothing.
On the third day, around early in the morning, Su Xuan found that Yuan Xing suddenly developed a high fever due to lack of food and water.
On this day, it was Su Xuan who went out to find food and water.
"City Lord, Yuan Xing will hand it over to you first. Su Xuan said that, and left one step at a time.
Not long after Su Xuan left, the old city lord took care of Yuan Xing.
It's just that as time passes, Yuan Xing's high fever has not improved at all.
The old city lord became more and more anxious, and finally, he walked in front of Yuan Xing.
"Ahem, city lord, you can do it. Yuan Xing, who was weak, smiled miserably.
Yuan Xing...... You've known this for a long time...... I'm sorry......" The old city lord couldn't help but sigh.
"City Lord, now is not the time to be rash, my physical condition, I know very well. If it drags on any longer, all three of us will die. Before you set out, you told us that a qualified demon hunter must be decisive and not emotional. Yuan Xing felt that his consciousness was becoming more and more blurred.
He knew he didn't have much time to live.
Since he didn't live long, he would rather die early, so that he wouldn't drag down Brother Su.
The old city lord's eyes were slightly red, he couldn't help but turn around, raised his hand, and slapped Yuan Xing's Heavenly Spirit Gai with one palm.
"City Lord!"
A roar came.
Su Xuan rushed in angrily, he couldn't help but say, and took the initiative to start with the old city.
"Brother Su, stop, don't quarrel over me, a dying person. Otherwise, I would rather kill myself than harm you. Yuan Xing closed his eyes in pain.
He wanted to die, but he didn't want to drag down his friends.
"I'm sure I'll be able to find water and food, and if I give me another day, I'll be sure. Yuan Xing, city lord, you must believe me. ”
Su Mu said excitedly.
In the end, Yuan Xing and the old city lord finally agreed under Su Mu's persuasion.
Maybe it was Su Mu's persistence that moved the heavens, at noon on the fourth day, Su Mu really found the beast meat and beast blood, although the number was not much, but relying on these beast meat and beast blood, Yuan Xing's body improved little by little.
The three of them supported each other towards the edge of the ruins of the Autumn Forest.
But what Yuan Xing didn't expect, when he finally had a high fever and recovered his body, Su Mu fell ill.
It wasn't until the old city lord and Yuan Xing, despite Su Mu's objections, lifted his sleeves and checked his body that Yuan Xing found that Su Mu's arms and body had become a dry skeleton with blurred flesh and blood.
When Yuan Xing witnessed that scene, he knew that what he and the old city lord had been eating these days was not beast blood and beast meat at all, but the flesh and blood that Su Mu had taken from himself.
Su Mu didn't survive until he left the ruins of Qiulin, so he died there.
The memories flickered, and endless darkness swept in.
Ye Lingyue and Yun Sheng withdrew from Yuan Xing's memories and left.
“......”
After witnessing all this, Ye Lingyue and Yun Sheng were speechless.
Ye Lingyue never thought that Yuan Xing and the old city lord would survive by eating the flesh and blood of their companions.
Even Yun Sheng, who had heard the story of the Buddha cutting meat and feeding the eagle, felt very shocked.
Not to mention, the old city lord and Yuan Xing.
It's no wonder that both of them fell into madness after leaving that dead ruin alive.
Especially Yuan Xing, over the years, he was only afraid that he would have been immersed in the death of his partner, which is why he left such serious sequelae.
After the things in the depths of his memory were excavated, Yuan Xing calmed down.
The madness in his eyes was gradually replaced by calm.
"So, I killed Su Xuan. I have never dared to tell the truth of the matter to Grandma Nai Su and Brother Su's children. He took good care of me all the way and treated me like a brother, but what did I do? I actually ate his flesh and drank his blood, and I am not human. ”
Yuan Xing wept bitterly.
After returning to Huangquan City with the old city lord, Yuan Xing could not bear the heavy load, left the city lord's mansion, and gave up becoming a demon hunter.
Every time he thinks of his life, it was his friend's life in exchange, Yuan Xing is in pain.
So over the years, at certain times, Yuan Xing would lose control of his emotions, and this time, the fact that both male and female were cruelly abusing and killing his companions in front of him further stimulated Yuan Xing, and only then did he burst out of the dark side that had accumulated in his heart.
"Yuan Xing, things are not what you imagined. Actually, you and the old city lord are not wrong, you don't know about it. What's more, Su Mu was already ready to sacrifice himself, just because he knew that his life was not long. Ye Lingyue said, and Yuan Xing raised his head in disbelief.
"What did you say?"
"I just learned about this from Grandma Su. Ye Lingyue said, opened the door, and invited Grandma Su to enter the door.
It turned out that during Yuan Xing's treatment, Grandma Su did not leave because she was worried.
When he saw Grandma Su, Yuan Xing couldn't help it and knelt down.
"Grandma, I'm so sorry, Brother Su was killed by me. ”
"Silly boy, no wonder you have been depressed all these years. I can't blame you for that, Mu'er was seriously injured once before he arrived in Gu Jiuzhou, and the Fang Shi who treated him at that time said that he would not live to be thirty years old at most. It is also for this reason that the mother of the two babies ran away with someone, and Mu'er was afraid that our ancestors and grandchildren would not have support in the future, so they hid it from us and secretly went to Gujiuzhou. I just want to earn more spirit stones while his body can still hold on. After he arrived in Gu Jiuzhou, he met you, and he kept saying that if he could meet you before he died, he would have no regrets in this life. ”
Grandma Su said, tears in her eyes.
Su Mu's letter, she has been receiving.
Over the years, in her selfish nature, she has never told Yuan Xing the truth of the matter, for fear that after Yuan Xing knows the truth, she will leave their ancestors and grandchildren behind.
She couldn't have imagined that Yuan Xing had been living in guilt for Su Mu's death all these years, and she had fallen into such a disease.
Yuan Xing and Grandma Su hugged their heads and cried.
Seeing this, Ye Lingyue and Yun Sheng quietly walked out of the room.
Just now, when checking Yuan Xing's memory, Ye Lingyue's heartstrings moved, and she felt a strange feeling, spontaneously.
It seems that while touching Yuan Xing's memory, she also touched a corner of her heart.
