Chapter 16: Soul Pact
Ji Lianzhou spent three days alone in the forbidden, and ate the last Bigu Pill in the mustard seed space.
On the fourth day, Wen Guye returned. He broke open the door, stood outside and looked at Ji Lianzhou coldly, with the dew on his clothes when he got up in the morning, and said, "Soul Fixing Contract." After I go out, I will not tell others that Your Excellency is not my little junior brother, but Your Excellency promised me six things. ”
Ji Lianzhou had already guessed this result, and pulled the corners of his lips unhurriedly: "Senior brother means that after you tell me to die after leaving the secret realm, I have to agree?" ”
Wen Guye didn't correct what he called him, but sneered, "Otherwise? There seemed to be a smile on his face, as if Ji Lianzhou's words were not pleasing to his ears, and he was about to have a seizure.
Ji Lianzhou sighed in a tone of voice: "Senior brother is too ruthless, but I can't let Shizun lose his youngest apprentice." This condition, let's change it, right? ”
There was a distance of two zhang between the two, and his contrived tone reached Wen Guye's ears, and Wen Guye's eyebrows glanced at each other. Ji Lianzhou held his breath and was always ready to escape. His advantage is that he is familiar with the ground, but Wen Guye has been outside for so long, and he has probably figured out all the mountain roads in Longshou Village and nearby.
To Ji Lianzhou's surprise, after being quiet for a while, Wen Guye said calmly: "Why don't you mention it?" ”
Ji Lianzhou clenched the hand in his sleeve and put the talisman that had been pinched between his fingers and put it into the mustard seed space. He was gambling, betting on how useful Wen Guye was. If the man can come back to him, he is half the victory. Let him loosen his mouth and let him make conditions...... Ji Lianzhou almost wanted to laugh three times, how could he make Wen Guye take such a fancy to him!
It's a good thing after all. No matter what Ji Lianzhou did in his heart, he still held it on his face, and said: "According to what Senior Brother said, I promised Senior Brother six things, but it must not be in the way of my life, and it must be done within a hundred years." In the future, you and I will return to the bridge and return to the road, and it is best not to see each other. ”
Wen Guye's eyes narrowed slightly: "Then?" ”
Ji Lianzhou looked at him directly: "Senior brother is now at the peak of Jindan, and he will get married soon after leaving the secret realm." The kid is only in the early stage of building the foundation, and he is not the same kind of person, so why torture each other. ”
"Tormenting each other? You can afford to think of yourself. Wen Guye thought for a while, "Five hundred years, four things." ”
Ji Lianzhou pretended to smile bitterly: "Senior brother, this ......"
Wen Guye sneered and interrupted him: "The first thing is to get out of this secret realm with me safely." In addition, cutting the number by half, is it not enough? ”
Ji Lianzhou bit his lower lip, as if embarrassed. He knew in his heart that Wen Guye had little patience, especially in this kind of matter, he was lucky to be able to bargain with him, but he still had to do the work on the surface: "But, how can there be half of it." ”
Wen Guye stopped talking. Ji Lianzhou had to pretend to be sad and agreed: "What the senior brother says, it's what it is." "I can't wait for Wen Guye to use the next thing to make him change his name.
However, Wen Guye obviously wouldn't let him get his wish in this little thing.
Watching the other party prick his finger with a little aura and draw a formation in the air with blood, Ji Lianzhou narrowed his expression. There was nothing to do with him for a while, and he couldn't open his mouth to ask Wen Guye if he wanted to Bigu Dan, so he simply sat down and continued to meditate.
Once the soul contract is signed, it cannot be changed, even if the cultivation of the two is reversed, unless he also finds Wen Guye's weakness and threatens him. Recalling the doubts he had before, Ji Lianzhou was very relaxed.
There's always a way. Wen Guye always has to lie under him.
The blood that flowed from the fingertips stayed in the air, gradually forming a strange and complex pattern. Wen Guye has been expressionless, but he is thinking in his heart that this scene is a bit like an energy screen in his hometown.
After more than 600 years away from his hometown, he almost lost his memory of what his hometown looked like. All that's left in mind is a forest of metal, flying cars hovering around towering buildings, and holographic projections of virtual singers standing in the air, twisting their waists and singing to passers-by. The plants are always fresh green, and the sky is blue and clear, as if it has been washed by clear water.
The brain was empty, and the movements of Wen Guye's fingertips did not stop for a moment. Of course, Lin Jingbai would not teach his disciples this kind of thing, the soul contract drawing method, he still learned it in those six hundred years.
When the soul contract is formed, something is faintly engraved in the depths of the soul. Ji Lianzhou felt it for a moment, and made sure that he didn't have to worry about Wen Guye doing it to him, so he laughed and said, "I don't seem to have cultivated with anyone yet." Senior brother, do you say that double cultivation also feels like this? ”
When the words came out, Ji Lianzhou didn't expect Wen Guye to answer him at all. Wen Guye once again said something he didn't expect: "It's too far." ”
Ji Lianzhou's expression was a little more solemn: "Senior Brother Yuhuang, you actually ......" This time it is not pretended, you must know that the gap between double cultivation and ordinary things is not more than a thousand miles?
Wen Guye's cold gaze swept over him: "Shut up." ”
Ji Lianzhou shrugged his shoulders and asked what Wen Guye had done in the past few days. It is impossible to say that he has no regrets, and he even wants to ask: "Is the object of your double cultivation the 'Ah Zhou'?" "It's a pity that Wen Guye's attitude is too obvious, it is one thing to say that he will not hurt his life, but if he sees the golden python later, he will be injured and the other party will look at him coldly, it will be another matter. There was room in Fang Cai's words to let Wen Guye relax, he knew that it was too boring.
Wen Guye was concise and to the point as usual. It turned out that he not only explored several mountains around Longshou Village, but also flew to the end of the entire mountain range against the wind.
Ji Lianzhou asked, "What's there?" ”
Wen Guye replied: "Nothing." "As designed in the outline.
Between the two of them asking and answering, Ji Lianzhou turned a trail up the mountain familiarly, and explained: "Longshou Mountain is not a secret place, and I am still implicated in the golden python at home, how can I be careless?" That place can only be walked, and if it's Edgeworth, no matter how many times you fly, you can only see the forest. ”
Wen Guye bowed his head and didn't make a sound.
Ji Lianzhou didn't want to let the atmosphere cool down, and said another thing: "But senior brother, you promise ......" sighed exaggeratedly, "I really didn't expect it." ”
Wen Guye naturally knew what he was referring to. He didn't answer directly, but said: "They all say that they are tens of thousands of years old, how can they talk and act like a hairy boy?" ”
Ji Lianzhou: ...... Yes, it turns out that the opinion is quite deep.
He was about to make persistent efforts when he suddenly saw Wen Guye stop his steps. Ji Lianzhou opened his mouth, and before a question could be spoken, a loud bang came from his ears.
"Coming?" Wen Guye looked sideways at him and asked.
Ji Lianzhou froze in place, his expression changed in his eyes, he couldn't tell the joy and sorrow, and said slowly: "Yes, it's here." ”
It happened during his Qi refining period, and it changed the major events in his life.
At that time, he was just over 100 years old, young and vigorous, and agreed with a few peers to go out in several directions. Longshou Mountain is big, but Ji Lianzhou always feels that there is a wider world waiting for him.
Along the way, fight the monsters. After a few years, he finally set foot on the ground.
At that time, Ji Lianzhou didn't understand why his parents didn't want to come out. The cultivation of parents is much higher than their own, and it is as difficult as they say to go out of the mountain.
He had been walking on the dragon for decades and was about to break through, so he decided to go home. Unexpectedly, before he went back, something big happened in Longshou Mountain!
According to the monk who came from the direction of Longshou Mountain, the mountain was turbulent, and several peaks on the periphery had collapsed. There seems to be a powerful fighting method inside, and several powerful people have gone to check, but they have not returned yet.
Ji Lianzhou was worried and hurriedly set off. What he saw along the way made his heart tremble. The mountain collapsed as he went, and several times he was almost buried in the rocks.
After nearly a year of walking in the stars and the moon, he finally returned to Longshou Village, but what he saw was a dying golden python and a scene of dead bodies everywhere in the village. There were also several strange monks standing in the village, continuing to attack the golden python.
Ji Lianzhou's heart ached, bypassing the golden python and the strange monk, and looking for his parents all over the village. He did find it, but it was the bodies of his parents. When he left the village again, the strange monk seemed to be unable to support it, and he was dying.
In the extremely sad situation, the scene in front of Ji Lianzhou's eyes turned bright red. He seemed to lose his mind and had a final fight with the golden python.
He was victorious, and he fainted. When Ji Lianzhou woke up, he had broken through the foundation, and the body of the golden python was lying quietly not far away.
Ji Lianzhou knew the truth of his guilt, but he was absolutely unhappy to let him sit back and watch the golden python who slaughtered his parents leave the whole corpse.
He took the golden python liner, scratched the skin all over the place, and then left. Longshou Mountain has been razed to the ground in the past for an unknown amount of time, and other monks will soon come to see the situation here.
At the end of that memory that suddenly became vivid after coming to the secret realm, Ji Lianzhou was exhausted and fell on the road.
And now, it's the time for the golden python to make trouble in the big sacrifice!
It was the first time Wen Guye looked at Ji Lianzhou so seriously and asked him, "What do you want to do?" ”
Under the impact of the memory of "I ......", Ji Lianzhou only felt that he had become the hairy boy back then...... It's the same as what Wen Guye just mocked.
"This secret realm is to refine your heart." Wen Guye said lightly: "Don't care about the experience of others I told you before, no matter what choice you make, I will be with you." ”
Ji Lianzhou's eyes widened little by little with Wen Guye's words. Obviously, three days ago, the two of them were killing as if they were going to die, but now, Wen Guye said such things to him.
Is it too much trust in your own judgment, or is it too stupid? No matter which one it is, it doesn't quite match his impression of Wen Guye. In other words, every time he thinks that he has determined what kind of character the other person is, the other party will quickly do something completely incompatible with him.
If Wen Guye knew what Ji Lianzhou was thinking, he would definitely not care. It's just a character, or is it not mentioned in the original work, what's worth paying attention to? When the temperament is over, all that remains is that I don't care, and I will always leave anyway.
"Don't be in a daze, think about it!" Wen Guye urged.
Ji Lianzhou: ...... Acute, this can't be wrong.
After turning a hill, a fishy wind blew in his face. Ji Lianzhou's breathing was unsteady, and he was about to have the same condition as before, when a hand suddenly put on his shoulder.
Wen Guye said: "Haven't you made a decision yet? ”
Ji Lianzhou shook his head: "I want to save them!" This is something he deeply regretted, but later forgotten for a long time. Maybe it was because that memory touched him too much, maybe it was something else......
Wen Guye smiled slightly, with a bit of softness: "Don't move here, I'll meet that big demon." ”
