Chapter 59: Zen Doesn't Speak
Zhou Zheng wanted to pick up Wen Siqi, hold the girl who had said, "You have me no matter what", and gently wipe away her tears. But he was a little afraid, he was afraid that he would be conquered by gentleness and lose the courage that he had so hard to muster.
Who wouldn't be afraid? Isn't Zhou Zheng afraid? No kidding, before the crossing, this weak engineering student didn't even kill a chicken. Courage has never had anything to do with him, let alone fearlessness and sacrifice.
Seriously, if he had changed places, maybe Zhou Zheng would not have the courage to do this. But this is Goldwater, so he has no choice!
He was reborn in Jinshui Town, it was the Wang boatman who fished him up, Lao Shrimp gave him first aid, it was Boss Fan who put on his clothes and helped him find his family, and it was Brother Xiao Ma who ran around because of his injury...... In addition, the other restaurant brothers who joked together, the delicate and lovely Rui'er, the old man of the candied fruit shop who received him less than a penny......
If all the encounters didn't happen, then there was no need to care. But since they have laughed, made trouble, and passed by each other, how can Zhou Zheng watch them die?
Not to mention a certain name, the one that taught him to miss.
"Let the storm come harder!" Zhou Zheng silently recited the famous sentences in "Haiyan", wanting to give himself some courage. But somehow, he suddenly felt that it was funny to be so serious, and he couldn't help but laugh.
In this way, he couldn't tell the reason, Zhou Zheng was suddenly not afraid of anything. He hugged Wen Siqi and joked: "I can't wipe your tears with you, and I can't hold you when I wipe your tears, so please stand by yourself, okay?" As he spoke, he shook his bloodied right arm.
Wen Siqi, who was lost, was so disturbed by Zhou Zheng that it felt strange that she actually stopped her tears. She looked up and stared in bewilderment, at the man in front of her who had decided to die, but was grinning strangely.
"That's right." Zhou Zheng saw that Siqi was already standing still, so he let go of the left arm holding her, raised his hand, and wiped a few handfuls on her face: "Don't worry, I will definitely come back alive." β
Wen Siqi didn't speak, just frowned blindly and looked at Zhou Zheng in a trance. In her eyes, the white-faced bearded young man in front of her is becoming more and more similar to the light of righteousness in the future. It's just that the light of the righteous path can't laugh, but Zhou Zheng loves to laugh, and laughs silly.
"Maybe no matter how history repeats itself, some people will not be changed." Wen Siqi touched the correct answer, and her mouth was bitter for no reason, and finally responded helplessly: "Then you get out of here and come back early." β
"Order!"
The officers and soldiers who were watching from the sidelines were all sure that Zhou Zheng had lost his mind and gone crazy, and he had never seen such a happy death. But no matter what they thought, Zhou Zheng was laughing, and laughing easily.
Zhou Zheng got rid of Wen Siqi, and the burden in his heart was much lighter. He turned around, scratched his head, and asked the Great Monk of the Void Seal, "Have I hesitated for too long?" β
The empty seal monk made a finger and said with a smile: "The opportunity has not arrived, no matter how early it is, it will be too late; When the opportunity comes, it's too late or too early. β
"Is that the time now?"
"Worry-free means that the opportunity has come."
"Then my chance has come."
"Absorbing the Styx Mists is so difficult, do you have anything else to say before we begin?"
"I want to say something to a girl."
"What?"
"I swear I'll never do anything to upset her again. If I had to add a deadline to this commitment, I would like it to be 10,000 years. β
"10,000 years is too long, persuade the monarch to cherish the day."
After a few sharp words, the empty seal monk instructed Zhou Zheng to sit down cross-legged, closing his eyes and concentrating. Then, the great monk himself was also opposite Zhou, sitting on his knees.
"It's coming!" The great monk cut the thumb of his right hand, pressed it on Zhou Zheng's eyebrows bloodily, closed his eyes and started to work.
Gradually, the surrounding black fog gathered towards Zhou Zheng at a speed visible to the naked eye. Zhou Zheng is like the center of a tornado, constantly sweeping through the surrounding fog, pulling it into the body.
"I'm cold!"
"I'm hungry!"
"I hate!"
Along with the fog came endless negative emotions like a tide, and they slapped Zhou Zheng's soul like waves crashing against a stubborn reef - bang, a duel of life and death, stirring up white water foam, like snow. Then, everything fell, and there was calm for a while. But in a time that was so fast that people couldn't breathe, the tide was raging again. Bang, another violent impact, again and again, wordlessly interpreting the meaning of your death and my death.
In the face of this pain, which has been surging in secret for thousands of years, no psychological preparation dares to claim to be sufficient.
"Ahh
I don't know which wave was splashed by which sea tide, and the homesickness contained in it actually coincided with Zhou Zheng's mood, which made him hesitate for a moment. And it was this momentary hesitation that almost made him swallowed alive.
Fortunately, in the confusion, a Buddha horn came, recalling Zhou Zheng's soul that would be pulled into the darkness.
"Yes, it doesn't matter what happens to the earth." Zhou Zheng knew that the Buddha name was the empty seal monk who was protecting the Dharma for him: "For the people in front of you, worry-free!" β
Across a mountain, you are the ruler of a mountain.
What doesn't kill you will make you stronger.
The carefree Zhou Zheng suddenly accelerated the speed of absorbing the mist of the Styx, so fast that it attracted the attention of some people.
In the deepest part of the mist, a black-robed man, facing a masked man, said, "It's not good, someone is converging the Styx mist." Investigate and see who is so bold! β
When the masked man heard this, his eyes flashed, and then with a surprised tone, he said, "Hey, is it the "Nine Turns of the Golden Body Technique"? β
"It's not a trick, I came out with the Styx Mist, and I have to go back with the Styx Mist, otherwise wouldn't it be a big crime?" The black-robed man complained.
The masked man laughed twice and persuaded: "I suggest you don't act rashly, you are a person who has died once, and if you die again, it will really be over." β
"Mother-in-law, mother-in-law, waste my time." The black-robed man snorted coldly, turning into a black gas and merging into the mist of the River Styx.
"Why is it cold all of a sudden?" The pus-bag commander of Pingjiang Mansion, Ben watched Zhou Zheng mention the fog from the side, and it was quite boring to talk about it. But suddenly, he felt like he was falling into an ice cave, and the cold came all over his body, like a needle and a bayonet.
The pus-filled commander looked left and right, and saw his brothers, all of whom had folded their arms and stamped their feet, looking very cold.
"That's not right!" As the only martial artist present, Wen Siqi noticed the change in the atmosphere. She realized that it wasn't going to be a simple weather change, but something someone was doing...... She focused her attention and felt the source of the change......
"Whoa!"
The roar came from far and near, and the smoke and dust rolled up, like a black dragon, and came in anger. It swooped into Yu Zhouzheng
The area where the natal star is formed is amazingly awe-inspiring, blowing away everything around it like a violent wind.
On Wen Siqi's cheeks, there were two more fine scratches, and blood was oozing out faintly. It was the result of the stones blown up by the wind, and the incomprehension of the amorous feelings.
Everything was so fast, so fast that Wen Siqi didn't have time to react. She wanted to resist, no matter what, at least she could buy Zhou Zheng a little time. But it was too fast, too fast for her to do anything about it. In the face of absolute strength and speed, in the face of strength far higher than their own, the sincerity and heart of the weak do not have the slightest privilege.
"Whew!" The black dragon opened his blood-colored eyes, raised his head unruly, and then with the power of overwhelming the mountains and seas, pressed it with one claw, and the target was Zhou Zheng and the empty seal. Looking at the degree of evolution of this aura, there is no doubt that he is another supernatural powerhouse.
"Is that the end of it?" Despair crept up on Wen Siqi's heart, and paleness crept onto her face.
Suddenly, there was a golden flash between heaven and earth, and the brilliance was so brilliant that it was impossible to look at it directly.
Wen Siqiqiang opened her eyes, she wanted to know what was going on, and wanted to know if Zhou Zheng was okay. But that moment was really too bright, and even though she tried to keep her eyes open, she still couldn't see where the limits of humanity were. It's just that in a trance, she seems to see a knife light, which penetrates through the empty seal monk's vest and slashes at the neck of the black dragon.
"Ahh
A scream that didn't have time to finish the end of the spitting sound, came like a landslide, tearing almost everyone's eardrums.
When everyone present came to their senses, everything was goneβwhether it was the black dragon or the sword light, it was all gone. Only Zhou Zheng was still there to absorb the thin Styx mist, no, Zhou Zheng woke up!
It's like a different person, and the young man who was thin in the original shadow seems to have matured all of a sudden. He stood up as if there was a mountain standing there.
"Are you alright?" Wen Siqi stepped forward, grabbed Zhou Zheng's hand, and asked with concern.
Zhou Zheng shook his head a little confused, and then frowned, as if he was pondering something. Then, he strode up to the pus-filled commander and drew his saber.
"What are you going to do?" The puss commander was taken aback, although he had already lost most of his martial arts, but in the end he was also a real fusion martial artist, how could he not even react before he was snatched away. If this kid takes advantage of the situation, won't my seventh concubine marry in vain...... The pustule commander is scared when he thinks about it.
But fortunately, Zhou Zheng didn't do this kind of thing, he took the commander's saber, a very beautiful long knife, like rotten silver, exuding light and cold.
Then, Zhou Zheng closed his eyes intently, and when he opened his eyes again, the appearance of the knife actually changed, turning into a dull ring knife.
"Ouch, my knife!" The commander was a little heartbroken, knowing that he had spent a lot of money to buy this knife from someone else. He didn't understand how a good treasure knife could suddenly become so ugly.
However, the next situation was beyond everyone's imagination, only to see Zhou Zheng holding the knife horizontally and slashing it casually. The golden sword is invincible, and the smoke and dust fill the sky with the sound of crackling. When the dust settled, everyone took a look again, starting from Zhou Zheng's feet, a knife mark half a meter deep and more than ten meters long was broken on the street.
"This ......" Commander Puss was startled, and a bold thought and a small suggestion flashed through his heart: "If I open my mouth to him, will he return to his rightful owner?" But the next moment, he glanced at the scar on the ground again, and then he didn't think about it.
And in the distance, the masked man, who had watched a good show, laughed hesitantly: "Ah, idiot, I was actually cut with a knife." Can't you just listen to the city lord? It has always been the Dharma that picks people, and it is not the turn of people to pick the Dharma. Will the person who was picked by "Nine Turns Golden Body Formula" be easy to deal with? What an idiot. The masked man laughed and scolded a few words, and suddenly thought again: "Since you are so destined, I will let you go according to what the city lord said." β
In the next moment, Zhou Zheng felt something and looked into the distance. Under his gaze, in the tide of death, the most powerful skeleton monsters were actually collected by the dark clouds, leaving only many low-level undead, still roaming the streets.
"Why is that?" Zhou Zheng thought about it, but there was no answer, and then he gave up thinking - human life is more important than the answer.
At this moment, the people who had been blocked by the fog of the Styx and did not realize what was happening realized that something seemed to be wrong one by one and walked out into the street
This includes Boss Fan who came to Yuekelai, after all, Mrs. Yueling was still drinking in his restaurant before, and he was very close to where Zhou Zheng was. He rushed to Zhou Zheng, looked at the broken bricks and tiles all over the ground, and then looked at Zhou Zheng who was holding a knife, and the arrogant knife marks on the ground.
"Xiao Langjun, what's wrong?" An honest businessman, he has never seen this battle in his life.
Zhou Zheng roughly talked about what he knew, and frightened the people around him into two wars - he was going to die, and he would die for a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner? This monster is too much of a thing.
"Boss Fan, you are the most popular in the local area, please don't shirk. I hope you can get out of the horse and tell everyone to run away quickly, in the direction...... Just go in the direction of Fucheng, it will definitely be safer there. β
"What about you?"
Zhou Zheng pointed to the north: "I'm going to delay the speed of the undead's advancement, and I can save one by one." β
"Okay, Xiao Langjun, Fan really didn't mistake you, you are really a good man."
"Yes, Brother Zhou, I have been friends with you, and I have not lived in vain in my life."
"Brother Zhou is bright!"
For a while, those who were familiar with Zhou Zheng praised it.
"Don't talk about it, it's important to save people." Zhou Zheng said, looking at the group of Pingjiang garrisons: "If you are bold, follow me to save people!" β
Needless to say, with a nest of bears and pus, what good soldiers can be produced under his command? Together with the pustule commander and the pustule commander's deputy envoy, more than 400 people have chosen a more difficult path. There were only a few dozen younger soldiers, who hesitated again and again and followed Zhou Zheng's side.
"Cheng Ying said: It's easy to die, but it's hard to be lonely...... Ah, I mean, fighting and killing is not necessarily useful, I have a relatively rich ability to organize the evacuation, and I think I should devote myself to the evacuation of the masses. If you want to, just go to Boss Fan who is a businessman, and tell others to run for their lives if they are not in the old age...... If this name is not right, if it is not right, it will not be a big deal...... I'm an official of the imperial court......"
"Needless to say, if you want to help evacuate the masses, just follow the command." Zhou Zheng shook his head, he couldn't force others to die.
In this way, there is finally a simple division of labor. It must also be mentioned here that the young man who had scolded Lady Yueling in front of him, wearing his strange outfit, followed Zhou Zheng despite his family's obstruction.
"I'll go with you, too."
"No, you don't go."
With the team that went to the palace together, Zhou Zheng did not refuse anyone. As long as anyone wants to go, Zhou Zheng will take him with him, except Wen Siqi. He touched Wen Siqi's face a little dotingly and said, "Don't distract me." β
In this way, the crowd split in two and headed in two completely different directions. When Zhou Zheng walked a little farther, Wen Siqi was still standing in place and watching, until Zhou Zheng's figure disappeared completely, she attached herself to the tail of the evacuation team and walked along.
"Master, what's wrong with you?" Just as Wen Siqi was moving her steps, she suddenly heard someone shouting "Master", and she remembered that there was a seriously injured monk here.
Wen Siqi turned around and walked to Kongyin's side, trying to help him up. But when she walked up to the empty seal, she was silent, but her hands were folded.
Under the dim sky, the moonlight was very light and cold, shining on the body of this great monk. The bright moonlight is so unforgiving. It allows people to see the smile on the face of the great monk, and also to see the scars on his chest and abdomen. His chest, which had been shattered by Lady Moon Spirit, was still covered with cobweb-like cracks, only this time, there was no true yuan to fill it, and some were just gradually drying up blood.
