Chapter 1371: The King Dies
Life is a hero, and death is also a ghost.
Although Su Ruyun is a woman, her heroic spirit is far beyond that of ordinary men. knew that the hope of her victory was very slim, but with justice in her heart, she still chose to stand up at a critical moment and resolutely shouldered the mission of protecting Bao Tianzi. The golden sword she holds in her hand now is exactly what she has condensed with her life's strengthβloyalty, righteousness, and sword!
The so-called Four Treasures Heavenly Venerable has never confided half a word since the envoy. He hid under the big cloud, and even hid his own aura, so that Su Ruyun couldn't know his strength, let alone guess his next move.
However, Bao Tianzi's fate was on the line, and he couldn't afford to delay for a moment, since the other party didn't make a move, Su Ruyun had to choose to take the initiative to attack, his mind flashed, and the loyal sword in his hand immediately split into countless parts, stabbing at the enemy in the big sword from all directions.
"Whoosh~"
The swift sword flew through it, tearing the coat into countless pieces. But to Su Ruyun's great surprise, the Four Treasure Heavenly Venerables located in it disappeared without a trace, and the four strange pupils disappeared.
"Not good!"
Although he didn't notice it at all, an ominous premonition descended on Su Ruyun's head. Suddenly looking back, in front of Bao Tianzi, who was lying on the ground, there was actually a monk wearing a multi-treasure robe. As soon as this person appeared, there was a rare masculinity on the black road of Huangquan, and all the demons and monsters saw this situation, and they scattered one after another, but they were afraid that they would not be able to avoid it.
"What are you going to do, do you know who this is!"
"Bao Tianzi!"
Su Ruyun's face turned cold, and she was about to continue talking, but who knew that the Four Treasure Heavenly Venerable continued: "Why did you become like this?"
Bao Tianzi raised his eyes to look at the other party, and said in a weak voice: "I...... I was plotted by Judge Cui. β
The Four Treasures Tianzun nodded and said, "I knew that Cui Yu had an extraordinary background, but he didn't listen to me at the beginning, so he ended up where he is today." Your yin life is about to end, are you here to find King Qin Guang to renew your life?"
Bao Tianzi nodded and said, "Exactly." If you can make it easier, I will come back to repay you when I regain my strength in the future. β
The Four Treasures Heavenly Venerable shook his head and said, "I am already a dead person, and the desires of the world have nothing to do with me anymore. β
Bao Tianzi pondered for a moment, and then said, "Don't you want to get out of here as soon as possible?"
In the midst of the questioning, the Four Treasures Tianzun slowly turned over, and Su Ruyun found that the other party's face was the same as that of ordinary people, with only two eyes, and the reason why there was an illusion of four eyes open was because on his eyebrow bone, there were two narrow jades, one red and one blue, and the yellow and green of the two eyes just formed four colors.
I have to say that in this extreme environment, it is really rare to have an undead soul who can be as untouched and otherworldly as the Four Treasure Heavenly Venerables. Most of those who are trapped here have given up on themselves, resigned to depravity, and have become unjust ghosts on the Huangquan Road, waiting for an opportunity to take revenge on the dead who come and go. And no matter how hard Su Ruyun tried, he couldn't feel the slightest resentment from the other party, not even murderous aura. Realizing this, she couldn't help but be moved, and felt admiration and respect for this "master" who could still hold himself in another world.
"King Qin Guang's official residence is still far from here, and I'm afraid that the two of you will die halfway before you get there. β
Hearing this, Su Ruyun walked forward quickly, apologized to the other party, and said, "If you are offended just now, please don't be surprised by the seniors." But you've seen the situation of Lord Hades, and even if the opportunity is slim, I'm going to make a desperate bet. β
"I can help you!" said the Four Treasures Heavenly Venerable suddenly.
"What? You can? Not a joke, right?"
After speaking, Su Ruyun suddenly felt that what she had just said was really abrupt, and she was about to change her words, when the Four Treasures Tianzun said again: "This method is feasible, but it is not possible." It all depends on what Hades means. β
Bao Tianzi raised his bloodshot pupils and said weakly: "Needless to say, I know what you mean." However, the stakes are very high, and we must not act rashly. Otherwise, if it saves my life, the underworld will fall into an unprecedented crisis, and the gains outweigh the losses, so don't do it. β
"But you ......" Su Ruyun was full of ambition, and her white palms had already been clenched blue by her. In embarrassment, she once again cast her gaze at the Four Treasures Tianzun, only to see the other party continue: "Since Bao Tianzi's heart is like a mirror, then I will no longer go around in circles." Using the Heavenly Dao Jade on my body, I can open the Heavenly Dao, so that I can use it to enter other spaces, saving the middle way. But at the same time as opening the Heavenly Dao, it also means that some aliens hiding in it may take the opportunity to enter the underworld. Regardless of whether they are loyal or treacherous, there is no doubt that all of these beings are powerful and powerful, and any one of them can destroy this world. As for what to do, you two have their own ideas!"
Su Ruyun paused for a long time, and finally came back to her senses, and said in a hoarse voice: "Okay, let me discuss it with Lord Hades!"
The Four Treasures Heavenly Venerable looked at the sky in the distance and said thoughtfully, "You'd better hurry, time is running out." β
With that, he walked away on his own, leaving room for the remaining two to talk alone.
"Hades, have you really decided? The Four Treasures Heavenly Venerable is right, even if we can go to King Qin Guang, but whether you can hold on to it is still between the two, not to mention that there are many difficulties along the way, and there will be terrifying characters who are more powerful than the Four Treasures Heavenly Venerable, but they want to be our enemies, what should we do then." So, you must think twice, sir!"
While Su Ruyun was talking, Bao Tianzi kept looking at the ground under him, as if he was thinking about something. From time to time, a very strange smile appeared on his face, and the smile was bright, as if a flower full of vitality had bloomed on this lifeless yin land, immature but full of energy.
"Miss Su, I've really made up my mind. As early as when I fought with Judge Cui, I already had the consciousness of death. Fortunately, I am not the only Hades in the underworld, even if I die, someone else will take my place, you don't have to worry. β
"But, there is only one Son of Heaven, and there will be no more death. Don't you really have any nostalgia for the world?"
As he spoke, Su Ruyun looked at the other party's face, and suddenly a glimmer of light flashed in the latter's eyes, no one thought that he, who was not smiling on weekdays, would have such a delicate and tender side.
"I remember when I came here, I was really hopeless about life, dealing with dead people and ghosts all the time, and the feeling was more painful than dying a hundred more times. Gradually, however, I discovered in the deceased their respective human natures, and even I could not tell myself, and since when I have been completely absorbed by this indescribable complex feelings. So I began to try to understand everyone, the good people, and I wanted to know their original intentions, and the wicked people, and I wanted to find out what caused them to have evil faces. In the process, I was also influenced by them, and my heart subtly changed, and then several personalities were derived. β
Su Ruyun gradually arched his mouth, and finally formed an "O" appearance, and said in amazement: "Could it be that the Ten Halls of Yama ......?"
"That's right, in fact, there have never been ten halls of Yama, they are all just doppelgangers of the king of Hades. β
"In that case, as the king of Hades, you deserve the power of King Qin Guang!"
Bao Tianzi shook his head and said, "No, things are not as simple as you think. It was during the long process of change that I gradually discovered that some personalities in my body were not under my control, and even caused harm to others. In order to prevent the character of Hades from completely collapsing, and in order to prevent me from being completely assimilated by evil and exercising evil one day, I decided to strip my own desirable personality out of my ontology, and let them form independent individuals to go to other temples of the underworld to manage the underworld for me. And in this process, the power that originally belonged to me was also provided with the separation of the personality. Therefore, only King Qin Guang can influence the longevity of the undead, and I can't. β
Su Ruyun thought for a while, and suddenly said, "What do you mean by talking to me so much." Since you have such great magical powers, are you really willing to disappear between heaven and earth like this?"
Bao Tianzi smiled and said: "All living beings that exist in the world have the so-called ultimate. Once there, everyone has to let go of everything they have done in life, or start a new life, or accept the punishment from the eighteen layers of hell for the mistakes they have committed. I've been long enough in this life, and it won't make much sense to keep going. The future of this world belongs to you, not us old guys. β
Today, Bao Tianzi has really become a wise elder, because his black hair has all turned white, and the wrinkles on his face are increasing at a rate that is visible to the naked eye. However, his waist is still straight, and his eyes are still sharp, which may be the last bit of dignity of Hades.
"Remember never to give up hope, for despair never comes to a hopeful person. My time has come, and I hope that you will be able to draw a good end to my unfulfilled wish by your own strength. I'm gone......"
Unlike the spectacular scene when other peerless powerhouses in the world passed away, Bao Tianzi's death was like a breeze, and there was not even a trace of waves. Looking at the empty ground, Su Ruyun's eyes were already full of tears. In the distance, the Four Treasures Heavenly Venerable stood there quietly, in the simplest but most sincere way, watching the departure of this "great man", and how to go on the road after that, which was left to them to do.
Solemn and quaint, the layout here shows the owner's extraordinary identity and taste everywhere. On the ten-foot-long desk, the middle-aged man sitting in the middle suddenly shook his body, and the sound of rapid breathing immediately spread throughout the space.
He ...... Actually dead!"
