Chapter 200: Speechless
"Until I met this god-sama." Chu Tianyan said, "Guiding the lost is exactly what Lord Python has been doing, and I am one of them. β
"That'...... I heard about a sealing battle many years ago, what happened? β
Liu Shenghan cared a lot about this, and didn't even pursue the "painter" part of that statement, as if he didn't take it to heart at all. Because according to the Grand Priest, there seems to be a lot of discrepancies from the widely circulated version. And this area is really closed, if there is really any misunderstanding but it can't be clarified, it's pitiful. However, Liu Shenghan did not ask because he sympathized with him.
"Because Lord Python ...... It did come from another way. It is in the human world, and naturally it has to eat something. But rest assured, it never hurts. All it needs to eat is a lonely ghost wandering the world. But at that time, bad rumors spread, and people believed that it was responsible for the evil deeds of eating the living alive and digging up the graves of the dead. It is also believed that it not only kills human beings, but also slowly ends life in a very cruel way or way, even by killing people against each other, in grief and fear. For the despair of the soul is also its food, more tempting than the soul itself. He stated flatly, "...... So someone heard it. Maybe it's a shrine maiden, maybe it's a mage, but she's a woman. She inflicted a heavy blow on the python god and suppressed it at the cost of her own life. However, the python god did not die, but just slept underground, reaching out to communicate with people...... So he found me. Luckily, I just happened to be passing by. Presumably, what he has in mind is also my near-eternal life, and it can also save him the trouble of constantly looking for new agents. β
Qi Huan's chopsticks stoppedβhalfway through what he heard. He frowned until the priest finished speaking. Then he raised his head and stared straight into Chu Tianyan's eyes. But this person's eyes were like water, and there was not a trace of flaw at all.
"Why ...... Eat those souls? β
"If the spirits of the dead keep wandering in the world, they will eventually become evil spirits. That's when things get into trouble. If Lord Python does this, it will be beneficial to the Three Realms. β
"But, what if it's some souls who are about to be overtaken?"
"Distinguish between these...... Troublesome, right? The python god's subordinate is a demon snake named Naga. Of course, they are rarely seen, they are always haunted, and they usually wander the barren mountains. They are not very smart, and will only indiscriminately catch a few scattered ghosts and come back. Would you tell the difference between the meat in the beak and the meat from a domestic duck or a swan? β
A piece of meat on Qihuan's chopsticks suddenly fell on the table, and maybe he couldn't get used to using the chopsticks very well.
It's a pity that Chu Tianyan's words have nothing to criticize. At that time, the Great Tengu had fallen to the point where it was no different from a seal, and it would indeed be a bad thing if a child's soul could not be transcended. It's a pity that the children who could have returned to reincarnation...... He felt a headache, but he had to sigh helplessly.
Then, Chu Tianyan turned his gaze to Liu Shenghan.
"You seem to have a problem?"
"......" Liu Shenghan opened his mouth, "You seem to know what I'm thinking." β
He nodded slightly apologetically, and his tone was a little apologetic: "I apologize if I offended you." Truth be told, since I became the Grand Priest of the Lost Land, Lord Python has given me a special ability: I can hear the inner voices of everyone present at every moment. β
Can he hear thoughts?
"That's right."
Jun Aoyan was stunned, but she didn't expect that Shen Guan Chu immediately picked up a sentence in her head. She was surprised, even a little scared. It's inevitable. After all, thought is a person's **, and doing so is indeed an offense to anyone. But it's not his fault either...... No
Is it his fault? None of them are sure. However, for them, no one has done anything wrong, and they are not afraid of what he hears, but they only say it until now, which is indeed dissatisfying. But he said it anyway, and he didn't keep deceiving - he could, and this can be regarded as a kind of sincerity. On the contrary, it is Shen Guan Chu, don't you feel very noisy and tired after living like this all the time?
"It's a bit of a hassle sometimes, but most of the time it's good." Chu Tianyan replied to the noisy and gimbled voices in their hearts, "I've learned how to distinguish and filter information. What's more, the people who can come here and find me are all people in need. Those who are full of lies, even if they inadvertently break into this place, we are on guard. Everybody here is aware of my abilities. Even though you are not inhabitants of this place, I would like to tell you this as a sign of my sincerity to you. So ......"
He continued to look at Liu Shenghan, as if expecting her to respond to his question.
"Then you know what I'm thinking." She didn't need to say much.
"You're really precious to words." Divine Officer Chu laughed, "So from the first time we saw each other, I knew that you were the six realms of impermanence. But your friends around you never seemed to have that kind of consciousness at that time...... I guess you didn't tell them, at least not then. So on that issue, I kept silent. But now they seem to know. β
"Ah, that's true...... Thank you again. β
"You're welcome. And about 200 years ago, we saw it. But not on this island. β
"Huh?" Liu Shenghan was a little surprised, "At that time, I ...... I don't remember you either. β
"Of course. Because of the transfiguration, I'm afraid my appearance is not quite the same as when I met you......"
There was a sudden "pop" sound on the table, and they turned their heads to find that Bai Ya's right hand had broken the chopsticks. Even he didn't expect it, he was stunned for a moment, and then clenched the remaining half of his hand again. He still seems to be very uncomfortable...... And the anomaly has become strong again. It was clear that it had eased up a bit before, how did it happen for a while? Could it be that the powder left behind before the music day disappeared was really poisonous?
"You seem to be very uncomfortable." Divine Officer Chu stood up with a concerned expression, "I'm afraid you've inhaled too much soul incense. β
"You know this?" Others were a little surprised. But when he came back to his senses, he did have a way to detect the intrigues of the incense gods. What's more, they are already connected.
Divine Officer Chu nodded and asked someone to get some medicine. He then explained to them:
"You all know what that incense is for, so I don't need to say more. It's just that Bai Shaoxia inhaled too much incense at one time and became too dependent on it. Nowadays, there is nowhere to find it, and there is no way to relieve anxiety. Addictive things such as tobacco, goshisan, and hibiscus can also have such reactions after leaving them for too long. β
Typical withdrawal reaction. Liu Shenghan frowned sadly, and handed Bai Ya a glass of water: "I'm worried about this." Many drugs are also addictive, but as long as you know what the drug is, there is a way to do it. Nowadays, there is no way to know what the dementor incense is......"
At this time, someone took something and handed it to Chu Tianyan, and then retreated. It was a small, brick-red clay vase, and he poured some thick green liquid from it, dripping it into the water cup, and then handed it to Bai Ya. Liu Shenghan stretched out his hand to take it, took a few closer glances at the almost colorless and transparent liquid, sniffed it again, and made sure that there was no problem before handing it over to Bai Ya.
His hands were shaking, and it was hard to hold the cup steady, and a lot of water was spilled. After he drank it, although his body was not shaking too much, his pupils were still dilated, and he did not react to the light in front of him. Liu Shenghan took the pulse for him,
The heartbeat is still ridiculously fast. He only felt better, but the root of the problem was not solved. Everyone else left the table and gathered around him.
"That's a tranquilizer, you know." Divine Officer Chu said to Liu Shenghan, "This can only give him temporary stability, and he must completely overcome this illness...... Without a prescription for medicine, it is only up to the will of the individual. β
"He could." Jun Aoyan said.
ββ¦β¦ Well, it's good that you think so, but Bai Shaoxia himself doesn't seem to have such a strong desire to survive**. β
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
Qi Huan immediately interrupted him. He didn't want to hear it, and he didn't want to hear what claimed to be Bai Ya's own inner thoughts. Although it seems to be a little mean to Divine Officer Chu, not only Qi Huan, but no one wants to know this result. Chu Tianyan also closed his mouth quite understandingly and sighed.
After such a long journey, they can actually perceive that Bai Ya always takes life too lightly - and even more so for himself. He will protect or kill for some good purpose, under the pretext of help and rescue. Maybe he's always been that brave, it's just that he doesn't take his life seriously. Aoyan remembered the moment he rushed into the fire.
ββ¦β¦ Unimportant. Bai Ya gasped and said with difficulty, "It's not important, so is my life." I just need ...... It would be nice to know who did it. That's enough......"
There was a brief silence.
But until you find out the cause of Sand's death, you must not ......
"Bai Shaoxia-Bai Ya, is it?"
Chu Tianyan sat across from him and suddenly called his name. His hands were no longer shaking, but they were still trembling slightly. Bai Ya slowly raised his head and looked at him with bloodshot eyes. But those tired eyes didn't reflect anything.
Divine Officer Chu sat upright, his hands folded in front of his chest: "In that case, there are some things I want to explain to you. I told you before, I have never met the fathers of the two. This is a mixed bag. I don't know about Miss Jun's father, it's true; But about Bai Shaoxia's biological father, known as Bai Ye Baisha, who is known as Bai Ye Baisha, who is strong in arms and iron, I have seen it. β
"You lied to us?"
Aoyan was angry. However, Bai Ya's reaction was colder than hers. He also pressed Jun Aoyan in turn to make her feel at ease.
"I'm sorry, that wasn't what I intended. Now is the time when we should trust each other most than ever. So I guess it's better to tell you the truth β we didn't just know each other, we became friends for a short time. I haven't left the land since I became a priest, and he has brought a lot of news from the outside...... I have never seen a knight like your father in hundreds of years. β
Bai Ya just listened quietly. These words calmed him down a bit. He knew that there was no resurrection from the dead, but the news was enough to give him some comfort.
"I don't tell you because he doesn't want anyone to know about his death. So when he learned that you were his son, he did hesitate a little. β
"His ...... Why did he appear in, in the country of incense? β
"Stolen." His eyes were a little meaningful, "Yan? I have a friend who doesn't care...... Ah, but the sword of your father's relic, I have gathered it with the treasure of the python god as a sign of respect. That's right, that's the Red True Pearl. β
"We can ......"
"Of course, of course." He readily agreed, "I have made so many statements and foreshadowing just to bring this matter up. Through our conversations and your reactions, I believe that you are not here to plunder. I also hope to ...... After seeing the treasure of the python god, you can relax and no longer worry about it. β
Bai Ya stood up and shook slightly.
"I promise youβgo now."
