In front of the border of the Yixi Kingdom, the light of the teleportation array flashed slightly, revealing the figure of a young man.

After learning from Guo County's order that the birthplace of the Lord of the Nine Shadows Hall was Yixi Kingdom, Ye Shuo was shocked, and he didn't have time to say goodbye to his advisor, so he set off on the road home that night.

Which country was destroyed that year, Guo County Ling did not know the details. As for the relevant maps from 2,000 years ago, most of them are now also sensitive and cannot be consulted in ordinary archives.

Since this is the case, it is the history of Yixi Kingdom, so it is natural to go back to Yixi Kingdom to find out!

On the way, Ye Shuo had already thought that this matter must be assisted by someone from the royal family, and among his old friends, the only one who could speak in front of the royal family was only-

Returning to Zhiyuan College again, the grass and trees are lush, the teaching building is filled with the sound of reading, and the young students are running on the playground, just like the scenery they used to be.

After sending off a group of students, there will be a new batch, only the academy has always stood here, witnessing the change of this scene.

Somehow, looking at the familiar scenes along the way, Ye Shuo suddenly became a little sentimental, and his originally hurried pace gradually slowed down. A sense of time staggered, flipped and shaped before his eyes.

Walking through this corridor, it seems that as soon as you raise your eyes, you will see Xiling Jiangkun, Xuyuan and Jia Luo running towards them, laughing and making trouble around them, and then they will return to the classroom under their "cluster", as if nothing has changed.

In the college days, those children who were not deeply involved in the world were always full of dreams, and they complained that the college imprisoned their talents, while enjoying the friendship with their peers, and crying and laughing about the results of the exams......

If they knew from the beginning that after leaving the academy, they would be full of money in society, and finally chose to give in to reality, then would their eyes still be so clear, so full of hopes and dreams?

Former friends, three years ago, Xiling Jiangkun became the heir of the Xiling family, Jia Luo and Gongsun Zhiqi had a lover and finally became a family, now, they must be better off......, right?

Dingtian Mountain Range, Zhiyuan Academy, Fushi Gate, he has traveled a lot of places, and he has had a lot of old people, but he doesn't dare to easily contact any old people. He was afraid that the other party's achievements would push his current self to the bottom. The blank three years...... After all, he became a person who was out of touch with this society.

Pushing open the door of the dean's room, and seeing the plump woman who stood up in surprise because of his arrival, Ye Shuo could no longer suppress the sadness in his heart, and rushed forward and hugged her tightly.

"Fei Fei!"

Nangong Fei seemed to be taken aback by him, stiffly let him hold him, and raised a hand as soon as he probed and gently stroked his hair.

"Ye Shuo, what's wrong with you?...... Don't cry, tell me slowly?"

This long-lost warmth made Ye Shuo deeply indulged in it, and subconsciously hugged her tighter, and kept rubbing his nose between her neck.

At least, she wouldn't be as cruel as Qi Lingsha to push herself away. So much has happened during this time, I am really tired, she is the only support, the island of my soul......

"Why, I seem to be doing everything wrong, what the hell should I do......

"You...... What's wrong with you?" Nangong Fei looked out of the door with some uneasiness, worried that there would be a student or tutor who happened to come in and bump into her at this time, but Ye Shuo was crying sadly, and she couldn't push it away, so she was in a dilemma.

Finally, Ye Shuo let go of her, his eyes were red and swollen, and the first thing he said was: "Do you have wine here?"

……

Half an hour later, several empty wine bottles had piled up on the desk. Ye Shuo's cheeks were red, his vision was blurred, he was holding a wine glass, and he was still pouring it into his mouth.

Just now, he told in detail what happened in the Medicine King Valley and the Time Clock Tower, although time has passed, but the heavy more than ten lives are still pressing on his heart, and there has never been a moment of relief.

"After three years of being out of touch with the world...... No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't achieve anything. ”

Nangong Fei sighed and wanted to take his wine glass, but Ye Shuo's reaction at this time was very fast, he turned his hand and tilted his neck, and the dripping wine slid down the corners of his mouth and flowed into the collar.

"When the Xuantian Sect was destroyed, I once wanted to be a more evil person than the wicked, but choosing to be indifferent in the face of injustice was against my own conscience. Later, when I chose to follow my heart again, I got the worst...... I was really at a loss, I didn't know exactly what to do right......"

He slammed the wine glass on the table, punched his backhand the chest, and shouted: "It's hard to be a man! It's even harder to be a good person! It's even harder to be a good person——!

Nangong Fei sighed softly, moved the wine glass, took out the embroidered handkerchief from his arms, and gently wiped the wine stains from the corners of his mouth for him.

"Would you like to hear from me?"

"There is nothing wrong with your kindness, what is wrong is only the perception of yourself. ”

Ye Shuo slanted his gaze in a daze and looked at her in confusion.

"In fact, in this world, most people are just ordinary people, as long as they don't do bad things, and help others within their ability, they are already considered a good person. Nangong Fei smiled at him gently, "Not everyone can save the world." If life is the life of a commoner, but the heart of a savior is carried out all day long, then it is no wonder that it will be cocooned and bound to itself. ”

"Let me tell you a story. Brewing him a cup of hot tea again, Nangong Fei changed the topic to herself, "In another academy where we have just established diplomatic relations, there is such a student in it, his father is a catcher, when he has a memory, he often listens to the story of his father chasing down criminals, he admires it very much, and he also has the same hero complex in his heart. ”

"It was when he was very young, and one day, he overheard his father in his room interrogating him with his colleagues about the details of a case. At that time, the father had been sleepless for several days in order to hunt down the prisoner, and the child felt that his father was very hard and hoped that he could also help share the burden.

After hearing too many detective stories, he also thought that he had really become a detective, so he didn't consult anyone, and went to catch the bad guys according to the plan he came up with. ”

"The result can be imagined, how can a child without any cultivation foundation be able to fight against an extremely vicious criminal. The child's reckless behavior put himself in danger, and his father died in the mission to protect him. ”

Ye Shuo blinked his eyes twice, trying to run his chaotic mind, but he didn't know why Nangong Fei wanted to tell him this irrelevant story.

"Don't you think you're very similar to this kid?" Nangong Fei looked at him, "You are all blindly taking responsibilities that don't belong to you, so in the end, you have a bitter fruit." If you position yourself as an ordinary person from the beginning and do what ordinary people should do, I think you will live happier than you are now. ”

Ye Shuo looked at her in a daze for a long time, until he suddenly burped a loud wine before he sighed, "Maybe...... So, that kid, what happened to him?"

Nangong Fei shrugged her shoulders: "Since then, there have been very serious psychological problems, and it is said that there are communication barriers until now. ”

Ye Shuo sighed deeply: "Everyone has their own troubles, be a man...... It's really not easy. ”

With a crooked body, she slowly lay down against Nangong Fei, her ears squeezing the softness of her chest all the way.

"I'm really tired, it's just this moment, I want to take a good rest and don't think about anything anymore......" Lying on her back, she raised her eyebrows and looked up, revealing a faint smile, "Drunk and lying on the knees of a beautiful woman is also a kind of style." ”

Nangong Fei frowned, gently massaged his head, and whispered to himself: "Then let's get drunk, and when you're drunk, get up again." You're my first man, you can't be so depressed!"

Ye Shuo closed his eyes in satisfaction in such warmth. Indeed, it's been too long since I had a good night's sleep......

……

It's dark.

Ye Shuo didn't know where this was, and he didn't know how he got here. He spun stiffly, his hungover mind still extremely inflexible.

A hollow voice rang out without warning. The voice resounded throughout the space, as if it was coming from all directions at the same time.

"Some people have the heart to save the world, and they also have the ability to save the world, just like the master of the Heavenly Palace, he is the real savior. And there are those who have the heart to save the world, but they do not have the corresponding ability, and their untimely compassion will only cause more people to fall into the abyss of suffering. You are such a person, and your existence is simply the scum of this world!"

The last word fell, and in the empty darkness in front of him, a ray of light suddenly sprinkled out, illuminating an emaciated figure in front of him.

The man turned around slowly, he had a face that was exactly the same as Ye Shuo's. But although the facial features are the same, the inner temperament is diametrically opposed. Two dark shadows dragged out of the corners of his eyes, with a condescending sense of contempt in his eyes, a cold smile on the corner of his mouth, and a faint layer of black mist around his body, overflowing with evil aura.

Ye Shuo was taken aback and shouted, "Who are you, why are you pretending to be me?"

That "Ye Shuo" smiled coldly: "You are me, but I am not you." But one day, you will be fully me. ”

Ye Shuo listened to his tongue twister-like words, and frowned in confusion. For some reason, facing this person, he always felt an empty chill in his soul, rejecting the existence of the other party, but also a strange longing, as if they were originally one lost one......

"Ye Shuo" walked towards him step by step, with a disgust in his eyes that hated iron but not steel: "You have fallen again." Wasn't it good when I took control of your body in the first place? You successfully took revenge on the Burning Heaven Sect and founded the Dingtian Sect, and you are the Supreme Elder that everyone worships!

He approached step by step, but Ye Shuo retreated step by step: "I...... Maybe at that time, it was indeed very beautiful, but at that time, I was not happy. ”

Summoning up his courage, he raised his voice and shouted back to the other party: "All I expect is to be with my friends, help each other, and grow together, I don't want to be a lonely ......!"

"Fallacy!" Ye Shuo interrupted him viciously, "You're going to like it sooner or later!"

"You were already destined to be extraordinary in this life, but you are willing to fall. If it weren't for your pedantry and stupidity, how could you suppress my power again, and how could you be the way you are now!"

As he spoke, the more excited he became, the black qi around him suddenly soared, "If you are willing to become an evil emperor, the Heavenly Realm, the Nirvana Realm, and the Reincarnation Realm, you can get it at your fingertips! You are now afraid of the Nine Shadows Palace, which is like a snake and scorpion, and it can be destroyed with your hands! What are you still hesitating about?"

Ye Shuo shook his head in pain: "No...... I don't want to be an evil emperor! I want to rely on my own strength!"

"That's not up to you. That "Ye Shuo" snorted contemptuously, "Sooner or later, you will definitely become the Evil Emperor." And that day...... It's not far off—"

"Do you remember 'self-sleeping', the power you used when you were in the Talisman Guild, that is our real power. Look, you still need me—"

"As my last gift to you, when you encounter an enemy that you can't solve, use self-sleep," in the dark, Ye Shuo's figure retreated without a point, drifting all the way to the unknown, "Sacrifice your soul to me, and I will provide you with the strength you need——!"

That's the last thing he left here to say.

The next moment, Ye Shuo opened his eyes suddenly.

There was no dark space at all, there was no one exactly the same, and he was lying on his desk in the dean's room, and the sunlight outside the window was slanting through the half-hidden curtains, leaving a few deep and shallow light marks on the table.

It turned out that it was just a dream......

reminds me of the prophecy of the Millet Temple and the Time Demon, and it seems to be faintly in line with this dream. Is it a day of thought, a night of dreams, or is all of this a great omen?

The cold sweat on his forehead had not yet dried, and Ye Shuo faced the sunlight in front of the window and took a few deep breaths.

If all this is true, then it should be the person in the dream who will replace him...... His voice was exactly the same as the one who shouted in his head "You are not worthy to be the heir of the Evil Emperor" when he was wronged in the Dingtian Mountain Range, and just now, he did mention the Evil Emperor again......

That consciousness, if it has something to do with the mysterious power that sleeps in his body, then he is not his own fantasy...... But is there any way to talk to him directly? Every time, he seems to appear out of thin air, and when he tries to search, he disappears without a trace......

Just when Ye Shuo was thinking about it alone, his eyes suddenly stopped at the table.

It was a thick stack of leaflets for the "Tiangongmen Assessment Crash Training Course".
