Chapter 207: It's almost over
"Be careful...... Watch out for Zhao Tianyan!"
The voice in the dark came, Wei Lai was stunned for a moment, and before he could come back to his senses, a figure behind him slowly stood up like a ghost.
His face was cold, and there was no longer any harmony in his usual days. He slowly raised one hand, and at some point grasped a dagger that glowed with cold light.
Murderous starts.
Wei Lai sensed the aura coming from behind, his heart was shocked, and he hurriedly pulled himself out of the state of being in harmony with heaven and earth.
The spiritual power around him surged, and the five divine gates emerged, and then he turned around, trying to block the killing move that directly took him to the point.
This is not a difficult thing for him, although his cultivation is only in the fifth realm, but with the blessing of various adventures, there are few opponents under the holy realm.
Zhao Tianyan's talent is outstanding, but in fact, the current Wei Lai has already left the so-called genius demons far behind him.
Of course, when the dagger held by Zhao Tianyan stabbed into Wei Lai's face, Wei Lai's hand firmly grasped Zhao Tianyan's hand holding the knife.
"Brother Zhao, what are you doing!?" Then he looked at the young man in front of him with wide eyes and asked in a loud voice.
I saw Zhao Tianyan's eyes blood-red, his face was cold and terrifying, in the face of Wei Lai's inquiry, he did not show the slightest anger after the conspiracy was exposed, he just looked at Wei Lai, and said calmly: "Very good, you are worthy of the combat power of the Five Realms, hmm......"
As he spoke, he narrowed his glasses, and Wei Lai felt a strange power enveloping his body, as if it was probing the fluctuations of spiritual power in his body.
In the past days, Wei Lai has not encountered such a situation.
In fact, the more famous those characters are, the more they like to probe the strength and weakness of the other party's cultivation without hesitation when they meet someone they think is extraordinary. Normally, few people would be able to evade the detection of the High Realm monks.
Wei Lai was a little afraid of exposing the condition in his body for a long time, but later he found that the Buddha and demon appearance in his first divine gate would form a barrier on his own, covering his cultivation like an ordinary monk in the same realm.
This point, even in the face of the Eight Great Sages like Lu Ze'an, there has never been a mistake.
But the situation at this moment was greatly out of Wei Lai's expectations, and the qi that gushed out from Zhao Tianyan's body easily passed through the barrier of the Buddha and Demon Appearance in Wei Lai's body, and directly poured into Wei Lai's body, making Wei Lai transparent.
What a great sage of the Eight Sects couldn't do, when it came to Zhao Tianyan's hands, it became easy. Wei Lai should react at this time, no matter how sluggish he is, there must be something strange hidden in Zhao Tianyan's body.
"Hmm. And just when Wei Lai was thinking about this, those qi that invaded Wei Lai's body were taken back by Zhao Tianyan one after another, Zhao Tianyan's squinted eyes slowly opened, and his face showed a sudden look, he looked at Wei Lai and sighed in an extremely strange tone: "Yes, the strength of this spiritual power is already close to those half-step great sages who have touched the lintel of the eighth gate." ”
"What are you hiding from me?" Wei Lai asked as he took a step back and stared at the other party with a wary expression.
Zhao Tianyan, who missed the blow before, put away the dagger he had collected, he looked at Wei Lai, who was silently distancing himself from him, and was not in a hurry to strike again, but said with a smile: "It depends on what you want to know." ”
"Lu Yan'er. You know Lu Yan'er's condition, right?" Wei Lai asked with calm eyes.
Zhao Tianyan shook his head: "I really don't remember this person." ”
Wei Lai frowned, not trusting Zhao Tianyan's words.
But before he could say anything more, Zhao Tianyan's voice sounded again: "In the codex that your father left you, it should be written very clearly, after using the method of Great Annihilation, because the cause and effect of the Great Annihilation were all cut off, even the caster would forget it, so how could I remember it?"
Zhao Tianyan's tone was extremely frivolous, which made Wei Lai's heart swell with anger, his fists clenched, his eyes looked at Zhao Tianyan deadly, and asked in a deep voice: "So...... Did you use the Great Annihilation Method on Yan'er?"
Zhao Tianyan shrugged his shoulders and sat down on the wooden bench on the side with a relaxed expression: "No." ”
He said this, and then looked at Wei Laiyan and said, "There is not much of a problem with your father's codex, but there are some things that cannot be done after all because of the relationship between vision and cultivation. For example, I ......"
"You?" Wei Lai's brows furrowed a little deeper, but it wasn't because of what Zhao Tianyan said. It's the tone of voice......
The guy's tone was so weird, like he knew his father well. But Zhao Tianyan is only two years older than himself, that is to say, the year his father died, Zhao Tianyan was only twelve years old, not to mention, in Wei Lai's memory, he didn't seem to have much contact with his father, so where did his attitude come from.
And he knows the roots of Zhao Tianyan, and he is generally a child who grew up in Wupan City. Even if the talent is outstanding, as far as Wei Lai knows, even a demon like Xu Yue, who was chosen as the next successor of the Dust Slashing Divine Palace, would not be able to perform this Great Annihilation Method on his own now. Where did Zhao Tianyan learn the secret of this Dust Slaying Divine Palace, and how could he use it?
"Well, that's me. Zhao Tianyan didn't know, or didn't care about the doubts in Wei Lai's heart at this moment.
"The world is so big, I don't want to tell you any big truth, but the fact is that there are people outside of people, and there are heavens outside of the sky. ”
"There is nothing wrong with all the inferences your father makes, but that's precisely the problem. ”
"He looked at everything he wanted from a human point of view, but there are many things in this world that many people can't understand and can't calculate. Unfortunately, I was one of them. ”
"The Dharma of Great Annihilation is the method of cutting off cause and effect, and once you receive the Dharma of Great Annihilation, everything about that person will be forgotten by the world. But if you jump out of cause and effect, then the so-called method of cause and effect will no longer work for you. So, I remember everything. ”
Hearing this, Wei Lai's face became more and more confused, he looked at the other party and asked, "But you just ......?"
"I just now?" Zhao Tianyan patted his head and said, "Oh, are you talking about what I just said?"
This is the second question I want to tell you, that people are human because they have the time to do so. Zhao Tianyan was even more stupid, ignoring whether Wei Lai had the heart to listen to him, and continued to speak: "When you were in Ningzhou, you came into contact with a god in the eastern realm, right?
"Although he is a god abandoned by the East, he is still the one there. ”
Talking about the eastern realm, Zhao Tianyan's tone was still extremely relaxed, as if a woman was talking about today's food prices, which was very usual.
"The so-called gods are a very complicated thing, and I will have the opportunity to talk to you about them again. But you know, once you become a god, you can live a long, long time without any accidents. And the people who have lived for a long time and inevitably have seen it, the more things they know, and the head is far less powerful than you think. It can write down a lot of things, but there has to be a limit to how much it has. ”
"This is especially true for those old monsters who have lived for thousands or even tens of thousands of years, and the more things they have in their heads, the less bright they are, and sometimes even their memories are confused. But the East is not the East Border, they have invented a very important thing, do you know what it is?"
Saying this, Zhao Tianyan stopped and looked at Wei Lai with a smile.
Wei Lai didn't quite understand what Zhao Tianyan was going to do, he couldn't see through him.
And the last one to give Wei Lai such a feeling was the owner of the Morning Twilight Divine Sword......
He frowned and did not respond to the other party's inquiry, Zhao Tianyan seemed to feel a little bored when he saw this, he pursed his lips, and continued his self-talk: "Immortal Palace Treasure." ”
He said this, and as soon as this rhetoric came out, Wei Lai's pupils dilated suddenly, and his lowered head subconsciously raised to look at the other party, his expression was a little shocked, he remembered that in the duel between that man and Jin Yun'er, Jin Yun'er, who was descended by the gods, had repeatedly mentioned this word.
"Heard?" Zhao Tianyan drew a conclusion from Wei Lai's reaction, he didn't bother with it anymore, and continued: "The Immortal Palace Treasury is not a place to store treasures like it sounds, well, although there are indeed a lot of good things in it, but for the Eastern Realm, its most important role is to ......"
"It's a brain ......"
"Brain?" Wei Lai was a little confused, but what he didn't realize was that his thoughts were gradually attracted by the other party's words, and he was unconsciously led by the other party's nose.
"Yes. It's a brain. ”
It's a bit of an inappropriate analogy, but it's the best one I can think of. ”
"The souls of the gods are connected to the Asgard treasury, and they keep those unimportant memories in the Asgard treasury to call on when needed, and through the Asgard treasury, they can also share their memories, their own experiences and knowledge. In other words, even a fool, as long as his soul is connected to the Asgard Treasury, he can rely on the knowledge in the Asgard Treasury to reach the realm of the gods in just a few years. ”
Wei Lai was stunned.
It was the first time he had heard such a thing, how powerful the so-called Divine Realm was, Wei Lai had a deep understanding of it in several contacts with the Divine Spirit, and if a mortal could really rely on this so-called Immortal Palace Treasure Trove to cultivate to that level in a short period of time, what a terrifying thing would it be?
"Think it's unbelievable?" Zhao Tianyan asked with a slight smile as he saw Wei Lai's performance.
Wei Lai didn't like the feeling that everything was controlled by the other party, so he calmed down and asked, "But what does this have to do with me?"
"It's okay, at least it's okay now, but older people have problems, and they can't help but nag when they talk. Zhao Tianyan said with a smile.
Wei Lai's heart was shocked, his eyes welled up with surprise, he looked at the other party and asked in a deep voice, "You are not Zhao Tianyan!!"
From the moment Zhao Tianyan attacked him, he felt that the other party's demeanor and tone of voice were the same as before, even if the enthusiasm and familiarity shown by Zhao Tianyan before were pretended for another purpose, but the insight and the tone that was obviously not what a young man under twenty years old should be should be were things that could not be pretended.
It wasn't until this moment that Wei Lai came to his senses, and the person in front of him was not the Zhao Tianyan he knew at all.
"It's really sluggish, which is very similar to your father. Zhao Tianyan was not the slightest bit flustered after being exposed by Wei Lai, but said with a smile.
"Who are you, and where is Zhao Tianyan, why do you want to cut off Yan'er's cause and effect, and what is the purpose?" Wei Lai asked sharply, and there was already a murderous intent in his eyes.
"Don't get excited, and it's best not to think about it, although I am indeed no match for you, this body is your friend's body. Ruined him, I will be a little injured, but I will only rest for a day or two, but your friend is really dead. Zhao Tianyan felt the spiritual power surging around Wei Lai, and said leisurely.
Of course, he didn't like the other party's playful tone, but what the other party said was right in the sore spot of Wei Lai. He had to put away the spiritual power around him there, but his eyes were still looking at him coldly.
"What the hell do you want to do?" he asked, his eyes wary.
Zhao Tianyan shrugged his shoulders and said, "Listen to me finish the story, let's discuss this issue again, I mean if we wait until that time, we still have time." ”
"Where did you go?" Zhao Tianyan said to himself with some distress, he frowned and thought about it, and patted his head again: "Oh, the Immortal Palace Treasure House." ”
"You see, there is a treasure trove of Asgard in the East, so they can seal their memories, but I can't, I have more things in my head than theirs, so sometimes, I have to forget some of the less important things, like the girl who is standing next to you and crying and begging me to let me go. Zhao Tianyan said this, looking sideways at Wei Lai's side.
Wei Lai was stunned for a moment, and he also turned his gaze at that time, but there was nothing there, nothing worth noting. But the next moment, Wei Lai reacted, he was talking about Lu Yan'er!
He could see her!
"Don't worry, I won't kill him. Zhao Tianyan said this to that place again, and as he spoke, he stretched out his hand and wiped it gently, looking at the posture as if he was wiping tears for someone.
Wei Lai saw this situation in his eyes, and the anger that had accumulated in his heart was almost reaching the limit of what he could bear.
He gritted his teeth and lowered his voice to a low level: "Purpose." ”
Zhao Tianyan raised his eyebrows, turned his head to look at Wei Lai again, and said helplessly: "I'm really anxious." ”
"Actually, I came here to see you, to see how far you've grown, after all, those guys worked hard to get you to survive under my nose. ”
"Oh, I forgot, you shouldn't even remember them. ”
Wei Lai's heart trembled, and he remembered the illusions he had seen before related to him, Lu Yan'er, and the Qingying Academy.
"Do you want me to help you recall your memories? Lu Changshou, Wei Zhen, Wei Jinxiu...... They all remember, after all, they were funny guys. ”
"So those illusions are real?" Wei Lai asked.
"Huh?" Zhao Tianyan, who heard this, showed a different color in front of Wei Lai for the first time, he looked Wei Lai up and down with great interest, and sighed: "It's really extraordinary, it seems that Jiang Huanshui did leave me a great thing." In return for this surprise, I should also express my sincerity. ”
Speaking of this, Zhao Tianyan tilted his head and thought for a while, as if he was really thinking about what kind of things he should give Wei.
Wei Lai looked at the other party with heavy eyes, unable to figure out what tricks the other party wanted to play.
Suddenly, Zhao Tianyan slapped his head again, and said with a smile: "That's it, tell you a piece of news, the very important kind." ”
As he spoke, he leaned forward as if jokingly, approached Wei Lai, squinted his eyes and asked, "Do you want to listen?"
Wei Lai took a step back and asked, "What's the news?"
The man smiled and said, "Something big is going to happen in the north." ”
"What kind of news is this?" Wei Lai asked rhetorically.
"The big things I'm talking about are not the same thing as the big things you're thinking. If Da Chu wants to use troops against the eight countries, the northern border will inevitably be devastated. Zhao Tianyan said.
When Wei Lai heard this, he secretly felt funny, this guy who was attached to Zhao Tianyan showed an unfathomable posture from the beginning, although Wei Lai didn't like the other party, but he had to admit that when the other party said what he just said, he secretly thought that the other party would reveal him a shocking secret, but he didn't want such a thing.
"It's a big deal. Wei Lai shook his head and said.
"So, young people, don't be in such a hurry, you have to wait for someone to finish everything before making a decision. Zhao Tianyan said.
"You know that Da Chu wants to use troops against the Eight Kingdoms, but you don't know why Da Chu wants to do this, this is the big thing I am talking about. ”
Wei Lai felt from the beginning that Li Chengfeng's use of troops against the Eight Kingdoms was strange everywhere, and when he heard Zhao Tianyan's words at this moment, he became more and more sure of his guess. Moreover, this matter is related to the safety of Ningzhou, and at the moment, he can't care about the difference in the positions of the two sides, so he asked in a deep voice at that time: "What would make Emperor Chu make such a decision?"
Zhao Tianyan put his head to Wei Lai's ear and spat out four words in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
He said: "The battle between East and West. ”
Wei Lai's pupils dilated suddenly, but before he could finish digesting the other party's four words, Zhao Tianyan took a step back at that time and said, "Okay, I've also returned the courtesy, and it's not too early, you still remember to take this girl away, right? Then I won't bother you." ”
Wei Lai heard the other party's departure, he stepped forward and asked, "Who are you?"
"Desire is the most fundamental driving force for human beings to move forward. ”
"The desire to live, the desire for power, the desire to reproduce, the desire to know. ”
"They make up who you are now, and if you want to know who I am, then move on......"
"Go on, and one day we'll see you again. And I think that day is not too far off. ”
Zhao Tianyan said this, and winked at Wei Lai again, and then his body suddenly softened, his eyes closed, and the whole person was paralyzed at that time, and fell straight to the ground.
Zhao Tianyan lay motionless on the ground, but Wei Lai was still stunned and stood in place for more than ten breaths before he was sure that the other party had really left completely.
He gave Wei Lai a strange feeling, it was something that Wei Lai had never felt before.
He seemed to know everything, and looked at everything with a kind of rightful condescension, Wei Lai didn't know who he was, and he didn't even understand the other party's purpose, if you really said it, the other party didn't do anything unfavorable to himself except for trying to hurt himself with the dagger at the beginning.
And thinking about it at the moment, the method of killing him with a dagger was more like a temptation and a joke than a real desire to hurt Wei Lai.
But if you want to say that the other party is a friend......
Wei Lai found it difficult to agree, the other party's words and actions were more like treating Wei Lai as some kind of novel toy, nothing more.
Thinking of this, Wei Lai's brows furrowed tightly, he took a deep breath, threw the troubled thoughts out of his mind, and then reached out to help Zhao Tianyan, who collapsed to the ground, and looked at the empty door around him, and said, "Yan'er, follow me." ”
After saying that, he no longer hesitated, supported Zhao Tianyan's body, and rushed into the darkness.
......
Lu Ze'an likes to read a piece of poetry silently before going to bed, this habit has been for many years, and he always feels that reading the last poem makes him feel a lot more at ease, and today is no exception.
He read the words from the book by the candlelight, and his expression was quiet.
Suddenly, as if he felt something, his eyes suddenly looked ahead.
"How many years have we not seen each other?" he asked.
There was silence in the door, and there was no one else, but a voice suddenly sounded: "Fourteen years." ”
"Are you going to see that kid?" who is he?" Lu Ze'an asked again.
"That's not something you can know. You choose your path, and you enter this game, and when you are in the game, you have to have the self-knowledge of the chess pieces, some things you can know, and some things you can never know. The voice responded.
The old man was stunned when he heard this, and then smiled with relief: "Is that so?
The voice was silent for a moment before answering quietly.
"It's almost the end. ”
