Chapter 248: The Pain of Eternal Life
The inner gate returned to calm, and at this time the sound of fighting and shouting had already sounded outside, the Shushan faction had already attacked the Liuyi Pavilion, and the watchtower at the north gate blew the horn of the alarm, and the long and long sound was transmitted to every corner of the hall.
Su Xie, who was in the basement of the study, suddenly opened his eyes, he just closed his eyes and listened carefully, that's right, it was the sound of the alarm horn when the Liuyi Pavilion was defending against the enemy, and it couldn't be dragged on any longer, otherwise it would be difficult to fly.
Su Xie first opened the stone wall and put the Hongying Sword and the Blood Sword into the Qiankun bag, including the historical book that Han Yi showed him, which recorded the secret of the Seraf dragon bone, which was also an extremely important thing, and it must not fall into the hands of the Ghost Mountain Spring.
He came to the edge of the blood pool, and looked down fixedly for a while, the dragon corpse tied to the pillar was still transporting dragon blood into the pool, soaking in the pool, and the spirit weapon made of dragon bones flowed with dazzling red patterns.
"Su Su, this dragon corpse is not simple, I can feel its bloodline, at least it is a dragon nobleman, as far as you can see, this is its body, but it lacks a body, if you can find the body, maybe you can get its dragon pattern, the dragon king's dragon pattern will definitely make me reunite my body, this is a great opportunity, be sure to bring it!" Gu Linger suddenly said excitedly.
"Curator Han Yi told me, Dragon King Seraphim, this is the secret that the successive curators of the Liuyi Pavilion have guarded for a hundred years," Su Xie untied the shackles that locked the hands of the dragon corpse and freed it from the pillar, at this time, he accidentally rubbed its face, which seemed to be smeared with a layer of oil, and seemed to be covered with a piece of skin, which was torn apart when touched, revealing a delicate and white little face under the skin.
Su Xie's face changed slightly, where is this a dried corpse? What is wrapped around the corpse is only a layer of deformed skin, and the inside is its true appearance, "Is this the Dragon King?" It looks like a little human boy. ”
He tore off the skin on the edge of the dragon king's face, and looked at it carefully for a while, and the boy inside was sleeping peacefully with his eyes closed, his eyelashes were very long, and the bridge of his nose was straight, if it was placed in the average human child, it was definitely the most outstanding one.
"The famous and mighty Dragon King is actually a child?" Su Xie couldn't help but laugh.
"Only a high-level bloodline dragon king will have this ability to metamorphose, even after it dies, the body can metabolize normally, but this change is more like a snake, about once a month, it can maintain permanent immortality without aging, which is something that all humans mixed with dragon blood can't do, although it is immortal, but their lifespan is longer than that of other dragons. ”
"Looking at the appearance of this little boy, if you look at it from the perspective of a human boy, it is about thirteen years old, which is far more than the dragon king, and it is almost three thousand years old," said Gu Ling'er, and then added very proudly, "five thousand years younger than me." ”
"Having said so much, you can't just want to express yourself from the side that you are more immortal than it, right?" Su Xie shrugged, already thinking of Gu Ling'er secretly covering her mouth and holding back a smile in her heart.
"No, don't say that, how can such a low-level creature deserve to live longer than me, doesn't that lower the level of this king? Although it lives longer than ordinary dragons, I am truly immortal, as long as the three dragon scales are immortal, I can exist forever, live with heaven and earth, and eternal time. Gu Linger said arrogantly.
Su Xie also had nothing to say, after all, Gu Ling'er could indeed achieve immortality, he had remembered that Elder Qiushan Crane told the story of how he and his ancestor went to Wangchuan Sea to find immortality when he was young, in order to get eternal life, the ancestor even involved more than a dozen good brothers, and they were all buried in the Absolute Dragon Valley.
It can be seen from this that the charm of eternal life is unstoppable, but is eternal life really that good? People who live like this will be very lonely, and in the end, everyone around them has already died, and only one of them is left, and that feeling is worse than death.
When he first saw Gu Ling'er, he could feel the cosmic loneliness and loneliness from her, a feeling he could never experience in his life.
Su Xie was silent, put the dragon corpse into the Qiankun bag, and took away the spiritual weapons in the blood pool by the way, which could not be left for the ghost mountain spring.
"Hey, what's wrong with you, as if you have something on your mind?" asked Gu Linger.
"Ling'er, do you really think eternal life is a good thing?" Su Xie hesitated for a moment, then said.
Gu Ling'er suddenly stopped, not knowing what to say, she must have asked her about her sore spot, Su Xie suddenly regretted asking her like this.
"Life is better than death, that feeling is very lonely, it's like you sitting alone at the bottom of the dark sea, forever and ever, pitch black, no one to talk to you, sit forever, I've broken down countless times, every rebirth has to go through a thousand years of training, that's in our world, it's different from your world, although we can instantly transfer to other people after the host dies, but this moment is just a blink of an eye for you, but for me who returned to my hometown, it was extremely lonely and tormented. ”
"Sometimes I often doubt the value of my own existence, because I see through too much, people will be more painful, when you see a group of ignorant children around you when you were a child playing happily, I am also very envious in my heart, although the world they live in is small, but for them it is extremely happy. Only by being by your side can I find the meaning of my existence. Gu Linger said in a deep voice.
Su Xie understood, in fact, he had already anticipated the true thoughts in Gu Ling'er's heart, immortality was an extremely painful thing for her, and only a truly immortal person would understand this feeling.
"But there are still a lot of people who chase that thing, in fact, people who stand higher do not have as much desire as those who stand in the lower places, because they already have what those people in the lower places can't get, and basically there is nothing for them to find the meaning of existence, so think about it, what you said is very reasonable, people always have to pursue something, otherwise it will be like an empty shell without a soul, life is better than death. Su Xie sighed.
"I didn't realize that you kid is still a philosopher, huh. Gu Linger said boastfully.
"Where," Su Xie smiled, after packing up everything, he was about to leave, walking alone in the damp corridor with a Qiankun bag, and suddenly remembered something in his mind, "By the way, speaking of you, I think of another person who lives in my body, who is that woman?"
"She?" Gu Linger said lightly, "Didn't she tell you?"
"Uh...... She said that she and I were what to swallow the sky...... The soul came, because she fell into the dark sea in the upper realm, causing the soul body to split, she said that I was lucky, I was the one with the strongest strength, but it was not complete, and some of the power was still with her," Su Xie said, "I was very suspicious of her, so I asked you." ”
"She didn't lie to you, from the moment you were born, I sensed that there was another energy in my body, this energy is very similar to your breath, but it is different, because it is mixed with too many evil substances, probably because of the influence of the soul in the dark sea, I have not told you about this, because I am afraid that you will be affected by her spirit, once your mental power is weak, she will be able to take advantage of the void, and at that time, your soul and consciousness will be swallowed. Gu Linger replied.
"Is she trapped by you, is there any way to eliminate her?" asked Su Xie.
"There's no way, once she disappears, you will also be affected, because you are one, this is the first time I have encountered the split Heaven Swallowing Wraith, this situation is very rare, now even I can't let this power be absorbed by you, only to the upper realm, go to your parents for help, they should have a way." ”
"Does she matter?"
"Of course, if you don't have her, as she said, your strength will be incomplete, and once you reach a certain height, you will never have room for improvement. Gu Linger said in a deep voice.
