Chapter 7: Ghosts of the Past

The Great Elder looked at the silver-haired young man in front of him, he hadn't seen him for many years since he defected. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Now his body has gradually faded from the appearance of his youth, and is becoming more and more jointed in the direction of a man.

He sat cross-legged at random, and the shadow grew out of the outstretched palm, growing upward, condensing into the shape of a tea bowl, but this tea bowl was a shadow, and it looked like a gathering of smoke, not like a container that could hold liquids, as if it would dissipate with a pop at any moment.

He picked up the teapot and poured himself a full cup, and between the tumbling black gas, the surface of the tea liquid glowed with translucent light.

"You can come here and have tea with me. With your temperament, it is definitely not that you have let go of hatred, but you have already been completely prepared. ”

The silver-haired boy smiled, the smile was shallow, but amplitude enough for the Great Elder to notice.

This child has always been a taciturn person, and his expression is very small, since he was a child, and he has not changed now.

"Then with Master's temperament, putting Nadong XC in his mansion is definitely not for proper storage, but for knowing that he is not my opponent. If I take it from you, I will not have time to fight the idea of this balanced sect for a while. ”

The Great Elder smiled, such a method was too simple, so easy for him to see through, but he couldn't think of a better way to stop this disaster.

"It was my fault that I didn't bring you back to the path of equilibrium, but instead banished you."

"No, Ionia has been making this mistake all the time. It makes no difference whether it takes me back to the path of equilibrium or banishes me, and there is no shortage of idle followers in the Sect of Equilibrium. "Drink all the tea in front of you." The island has never been open to different thoughts. ”

"But if you don't do it now, it means that you are waiting for that moment."

"Indeed."

"You still care about that."

"That's right, Twilight Eyes." Zai sneered, "It's just that this time I'm not interested in that false name. I just want to know how powerful it is to protect the crumbling path of equilibrium! ”

"Crumbling? ...... for thousands of years"

"Equilibrium is nothing but a hoax." The silver-haired girl in his mind flashed away, "That's the mercy of the weak." The stronger the restrictions and suppression of the strong, the weaker the weak will be and the weaker they will be at ease. What's even more ridiculous is that the balance sect that keeps saying that it wants to protect the balance and restrain the power, but it wants ninjas of the same age to fight each other fiercely, because only the strongest can become the eye of twilight, and that is the balance that must be guarded by absolute power...... I'll take a good look to see if the so-called Twilight Eye really has that kind of strength. ”

There was a noise outside the door, as if someone was in a hurry to visit.

Zai stood up, and in just an instant, his body turned from real flesh and skin into a shadow of nothingness, slowly dissipating between heaven and earth. "I won't bother you much, Master, thank you for your hospitality."

"Great Elder!" A ninja barged in.

"What's so flustered?"

"Be careful...... Gone! ”

……

"Are you still being caught up......

Cautiously looking at the ninjas chasing them, their figures were as light as birds in the forest, and the ninjas who performed the Earth Escape Ninjutsu moved at high speed under the ground.

The dark green ninja suit and mask were the things he was most familiar with, but at the moment they were like his nightmare, constantly chasing after him to devour his fate.

Akali looked at him worriedly, she didn't know what prompted him to take such a step, and she didn't know how Shen Shen, who was emotionally unstable at the moment, would do to hurt his fellow disciples.

The ninja's energy erupted between Shen Jiji's fingers, and a deep pit exploded on the ground, and the body of the Earth Ninja flew out of it in embarrassment, writhing in pain on the ground like a fish blown out of the water by a fisherman.

"Caution." Akali said that trying to remind him that such behavior was a bit too much.

But his resolute face was resolute rather than deeper.

She suddenly realized that they were not eloping, not a spear facing the whole world, but still running together to happiness, but a grand escape that Shen took her to. What is he afraid of? He never wanted to be Twilight's Eyes, but he was never afraid of the responsibilities that Twilight's Eyes carried, he didn't seem serious, and spent his entire teenage years with a hippie smile, but he always took responsibility in formal settings.

He turned around and threw his shuriken, and the multi-horned weapon swirled through the air, and the sound of the wind that poured into the gap blended into the forest, disturbed by the rustle of the wind of foreign objects brought by the ninjas who were chasing after him.

When the hidden weapon hits the ninja's body, the flesh turns into a log or branch in the smoke that explodes, and the ninja disappears.

But this kind of blinding method could not confuse Shen, before that, he had already stood on the branch of the tree to complete the seal, and took a deep breath, and the cupola red flame summoned by the Fire Escape Ninjutsu quickly burned and spread among the woodland below.

Stand-in technique is a common ninja escape ninjutsu, the principle used is the replacement between the ninja's body and inanimate things, the dead branches and broken trees in the forest can become the carrier of the technique, but they are all located on the ground in the forest, and the position after the replacement must be there, and the flammable dead branches instantly put the pursuers in the sea of fire.

"Caution!" Akali called out to him. This feeling is familiar, and Shen seems to be also held hostage by that demon, just like the person a few years ago.

"Do you really know what Twilight's eyes mean?" Shen looked at her, her eyes trembling a little.

He dragged Akali from tree to treetop, tiptoe on the thin branches, and ninja energy catapulted their figures farther away.

"I don't know ......"

"Your mother didn't mention the last Twilight Eye to you...... Your father? ”

The pronunciation of the word "Father ......" brewed stiffly in Akali's mouth, and finally turned into a lip-biting motion, "Never...... I haven't even met him. ”

"Because of being the ...... of Twilight's Eyes"

The forest suddenly hid behind him like a closed picture scroll, and the vision suddenly opened up after breaking through the scattered leaves, and entered an open foothill area, beyond which was Starfall Town, the place where he carefully planned to start a new life.

The mission of the ninja, the balanced Shinto, and the past...... The shadow mark that he didn't want to remember, everything would be buried in the grave.

But in the open foothills of Asakusa Mountain, a man stood with his hands in his hands, and he had been waiting here for a long time.

"Caution." The man spoke, this weather-beaten ninja who still looked old and strong, was the man who took charge of the entire Balance Sect.

"Great Elder." Shen's face became serious, but in that gaze, he was resolute and rebellious.

It seemed that if this man said something against the two of them, he would be desperate to knock him down, and then take her away and fly away.

Even if standing in front of him is his biological father, the most powerful ninja in the past.

And now the strongest ninja is him, Shen.

"I'm not going to force you."

"Hush." Let out a disdainful smile, parents will always have such a statement, and in the end they will try their best to pull you back to their wishes.

"You can combine yin and yang according to your own wishes, marry a wife and have children, and it is indeed a balanced way. Ionia is now doomed. When the balance is destroyed, only the three Shadow Warriors can work together to save Ionia from danger. ”

"Heaven is constant, Ionia has calamity, and it is part of the equilibrium, and it has nothing to do with me."

"You'll make a choice."

"I've made my choice."

The Great Elder didn't answer, just smiled faintly, and his body turned into pure ninja energy and disappeared.

Is it just a clone...... Grand Elder...... His father didn't want to stop him at all.

But he won't give up because he is moved, otherwise everything will be in vain.

"Let's go." His eyes were steadfast as he looked into Akali's eyes.

Beyond the top of the mountain, the view is no longer obstructed, and the outline of Starfall looms from the edge of the woodland. But I saw wisps of green smoke rising from afar in the town.

Shen strengthened the ninja energy attached to his feet, and quickly ran towards the town, landing on the eaves of a house.

But what unfolded before his eyes was a hell on earth.

Broken walls. Everywhere there was a ruined appearance, and people and livestock fell in pools of blood.

Wisps of green gas permeated the ruins of villages and towns for a long time.

"It's ...... Miasma? ”

"Be careful, be careful...... It's still very toxic. Akali reminded.

Shen stared blankly at the tragic situation in front of him, and his heart kept trembling. It's hard to say, whether it's fear or anger. For Ionia, which had enjoyed peace for hundreds of years, war seemed like a ridiculous nightmare. His dreams also broke and collapsed in the ruins, and were burned to ashes by the red flames.

A charred house suddenly cracked and collapsed to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

In the midst of the hellish scene, he saw axes and skeleton banners hunting in the wind.

Noxus ...... It's the Iron Rider of Noxus.

He turned around abruptly, and his body leaped again, leaving this terrible human purgatory.

The door of the meditation room is ajar, and the room dimly lit by candles can be faintly seen, and the yin and yang fish on the door make people feel so gloomy for the first time.

"You know what it means to be the eye of twilight." The Great Elder said.

"Quit ****. Ruthless and impartial. Accept the Tao by example. There is no self, only balance. As if reciting, he read this admonition, the admonition of Twilight Eyes, which he had secretly read, and it was because of this that he went mad and wanted to take Akali with him.

Akali's body suddenly trembled when she heard the declaration coming out of his mouth, so her father ......

"You...... Can it be done? ”

Shen turned behind him, his eyes pausing at his father. "Ionia, however, needs me."

A relieved smile on the corner of his father's mouth sank into the darkness.

"I believe in you."

Step by step, he stepped on the stone steps to the forbidden land, without looking back, and the moment his body passed through the torii, it was as if his soul had been split in half.

Akali seemed to see a big boy with a sunny smile, waving and smiling at her, and no one knew how many ghost ideas were hidden in his bad smile that would make girls happy.

But now, that familiar boy has become a ghost of the past.
