Chapter 8: The Mark of Life (Part II)
After I don't know how long, Zilong's body finally returned to its original appearance, and looking at the space ring on his hand, Zilong thought that the night ghost was still inside, and he didn't know what was going on now. ( VIII (δΈδΈ[[[ζ[ [ ]]}.)
With a flick of his left hand, the night ghost's body fell to the bed, pressing the soft bed into a deep depression, and the night ghost, who had already woken up, sat up quickly for a while, frowning because the sudden action affected the wound.
"Looks like you're fine. Seeing that the night ghost's movements were still so fast, Zilong said in a calm tone.
"You saved me, what was your purpose?" the night ghost asked vigilantly, his pale face turning even whiter the moment he saw Zilong.
"Why do you have to have a purpose, I just want to save you. Zilong paced to the table, poured the wine prepared for the guests into a goblet, and handed it to the night ghost before walking to the bed.
"Didn't you ask me about the secrets of the Imperial Pavilion, I wouldn't tell you. The night ghost turned his head and said like an awkward child.
"It doesn't matter if you don't believe it, you can leave here at any time if you want, I won't stop you. It's just that I want to say a word to you, you warned me at that moment just now, I believe that such sincere language is your heartfelt words, let me see your kind side, maybe that's the real you, do you want to wear that mask for the rest of your life, Yushen Pavilion is really worthy of your nostalgia? If you have something unspeakable, I can help you solve it. Zilong said sincerely.
"No, no one can save me, from the moment I stepped into it, I knew it was where I belonged. Perhaps because of the blow of defeat, the night ghost was a little depressed at this time, and he struggled to get up from the bed and stumbled towards the door.
Zilong didn't stop him, because he knew that the night ghost was not something that could be persuaded in a few words, but he didn't want to kill him either, although they were just strangers, the same but age, and the same bloody, maybe it was the night ghost's momentary peace that touched him. Although this is a bit of a return to the mountain, but from the battle just now, he has already understood that although the night ghost has a mysterious shadow technique, his strength is not very strong, and since he has a way to crack the shadow technique, he is no longer afraid.
"The purpose of the Imperial God Pavilion to recruit you is not just to conquer the world, everything they do is just like their name is the existence of the protective god, the whereabouts of the god are only known to the fifty-two city lords, so you are their most important pawn, as long as your Excellency sticks to your beliefs, for the sake of the gods, they will not harm your lordship. As the night ghost staggered to the door, he suddenly stopped, and a faint voice came.
Hearing the words of the night ghost, Zilong was stunned, he didn't understand what the night ghost's intentions were, since he had already decided to return to the Imperial God Pavilion, why did he still tell the secret of the Imperial God Pavilion, before Zilong could figure out the intention, the night ghost's next sentence made Zilong suddenly enlightened.
"This is a thank you for saving my life, from now on we don't owe each other, the next time we meet, you and I are still in opposing situations, I hope your Excellency can make the right decision." The night ghost instantly returned to its original appearance and said coldly.
What kind of decision did he want to make, to help the Imperial God Pavilion find the gods? Could it be that the gods are really still alive in the world, so where is he now, and why is there no trace of him for six thousand years. Ten thousand years ago, it was a great war between God and that man, and the two disappeared together, but the departure of fifty-two city lords was six thousand years ago, what happened in the thousands of years in between?
Countless thoughts flashed through Zilong's mind, but he couldn't grasp anything, it seemed that the more he knew, the farther and farther the truth became from him.
"Haha......., Yushen Pavilion, this name is good, I didn't expect that after 10,000 years, these guys haven't forgotten their masters, they are really stupid humans. When the night ghost left, a cold voice sounded out of thin air, Zilong looked around, and his divine consciousness dispersed to the surroundings for the first time.
Without any breath, Zilong's feeling could not be described in words, and at that moment he thought that the night ghost was back.
"Stupid, I'm right on your chest. The voice rang out again, but it was telling where it was.
Suddenly pulled open his clothes, a brilliant violet light revealed, instantly illuminated the whole room, a moment later it seemed that the brilliance was gone, the beads returned to their original appearance, but the life in the beads has changed significantly, the curly body has been stretched out, a small baby is standing there, is looking around, the small body is shaking, if you don't look carefully, you can hardly see that it is a 'person', the voice just now is from his mouth.
Taking off the necklace and spreading it out in the palm of his hand, Zilong looked at this little man curiously.
"Who are you?"
"It doesn't matter who I am, why did you let him go back, what kind of person is he, don't you know how terrible God is, once he is released, this world will be destroyed, and now I am afraid when I think about it. The villain shuddered.
"You know that god, then aren't you thousands of years old?" Zilong asked with a deliberately surprised look.
"Of course, my great Shadow is honored to have met him. If it weren't for the fact that your strength can help me recover my body, I wouldn't have bothered you. Hey, people are getting more and more ignorant now, and they want to save that bastard from Tianzhongyun, that guy is notoriously greedy and cruel, and they are not afraid to lift a stone and shoot themselves in the foot. Xuan Ying sighed incessantly, and said in a compassionate tone.
The first time Tianzhongyun Zilongtou heard this name, it seemed that it was the guy who proclaimed himself a god, this villain must know him very well, otherwise he would not have known his name, you must know that even the name of that god is not mentioned in the collection of Gada Academy. Although Tian Zongyun has nothing to do with him, he has a close relationship with Zilong, and if Xuan Ying is familiar with Tian Zongyun, he may not be unfamiliar with Zilong.
Before Zilong could speak, Xuan Ying preemptively said, "What is the relationship between you and the purple dragon? From the moment you took it out of the cave, I already felt that the purple dragon pattern on your body was exactly the same as the purple dragon back then, and there must be a close connection between the two of you." β
"This is also the question I want to pursue, I came to this world to find the answer, this pattern has been in me since I was sensible, because its appearance seems to have changed my fate, but what kind of connection it has with me is still unknown. Zilong spread out his hands and said helplessly.
But it seems that the relationship between the two of you must be extraordinary, he actually engraved the mark of life on your body, which shows that he attaches great importance to you, compared to others, you are really very happy, there is such a person who has always guarded you. Shadow's tone was a little envious and gloomy.
"The imprint of life. Zilong muttered these words, the only word he had heard about tattoos in his current position, and it seemed that the answer was about to be revealed.
Seeing that Zilong didn't seem to understand the meaning of the life mark, Xuan Ying surged with a nameless fire, and he shouted angrily, "You didn't even understand the intention of the life mark, so you accepted his life mark. β
Zilong didn't understand why Xuan Ying was angry, although he had a life mark on his body, but he didn't know how it came about, and after Xuan Ying's explanation, Zilong completely understood what it meant, and at the same time had new doubts.
The life mark is engraved in a person's body with the power of his own soul seal, and it is also known as the guardian mark, which represents the meaning of protection for another person, once the life mark is sacrificed, then he will also fall into an eternal sleep, and can no longer awaken. Unless the Life Mark returns to its owner, the chances of that are slim are slim, as the released Life Mark will slowly merge with the host if it remains in the host for too long, resulting in rejection from the original body, and may even destroy the body.
If what Xuan Ying said was not wrong, then Zilong's willingness to sacrifice the life mark must mean that he had an extremely close relationship with himself, so did that mysterious woman let herself look for Zilong's body? Originally, she wanted to find something related to the divine dragon, but now it seems that her relationship with the purple dragon is very worthy of study, and I believe that the purple dragon will not give a life mark to a stranger.
In that case, who am I? This thought flashed in Zilong's mind, although the words spoken by the mysterious woman were blurred, but a few words in them impressed Zilong, reincarnation, awakening, memory, what do these have to do with him, what does the mysterious woman remind him of? He is an orphan raised by Bai Qingyun, a dark master who occupies the first place in the killer list, nothing more.
Putting aside those messy thoughts, Zilong came back to his senses and noticed Xuanying's inquiring gaze, which was almost imperceptible to the weakness of his eyes, only to hear Xuanying suddenly shake his head violently and whispered: "It seems that the only person who can make Zilong give life marks is that person, how can it be on this kid's body, although their aura is very similar, but how is it possible, that person is an invincible existence, but he will not be so weak." Xuanying couldn't help but say it out loud in the end, just enough for Zilong to listen to it.
Zilong smiled helplessly, of course he would not delusionally think that he was that person, but this life mark was real, and it seemed to associate himself with that person in the dark, and now that he thought about it, there were six little dragons in his body, which was somewhat similar to the person back then.
