Chapter Ninety-Nine: Talking
Yu Ba told Yu Yi that after he was injured in Wuzhuang Mountain, he was rescued by two strange men on the grounds that he knew the whereabouts of You Long Sword.
The two strange men locked him up in a darkened house with only a faint candlelight, after which they began to interrogate him.
"Did you tell them everything?" Yu Yi looked at Yu Ba and asked lightly.
Yu Ba smiled and replied, "How so? Although your eldest brother and I are usually timid and afraid, we will not do anything to betray our brothers and friends. I didn't tell you my real name, and when they asked me what the name of the Dragon Sword Master was, I also pretended not to know, and lied that I couldn't remember clearly, and even my own name was made up by a lie. β
"Do you know who they are?"
In fact, Yu Yi had already guessed that they might be the people of the Black Lotus Holy Sect, but after thinking about it carefully, Yu Ba might not know about the Black Lotus Holy Sect, so he still asked.
"At the time, I didn't know who they were, but they all had lotus-like patterns on their clothes, and they didn't get any clues from me, so they gave up. I thought they would let me go, but instead of what I thought, they kept me locked up in that dark room. β
"And how did you escape?"
Under the strict supervision of the Black Lotus Holy Sect, Yu Yi couldn't believe that Yu Ba would escape from there, he didn't know if Yu Ba would be able to practice the Five Elements now, but Yu Ba a year ago didn't know the slightest martial arts.
Of course, Yuba couldn't escape, and at that time, he chose to commit suicide. The reason why he chose to commit suicide was not because he couldn't see the dawn of life, but because he learned that the group of guys who slaughtered their Taoyuan Village were not the demons and monsters he saw.
At the door of the room where Yu Ba was being held, different people took turns guarding him every day, until one day, a new person came to take care of him.
This time, the man he received was different from the people who had taken care of him before, and none of the people who had taken care of him before did not speak. No matter how much Yuba scolded them and begged them, they didn't say a word and stood there like a stake.
And this time, the man took the initiative to talk to Yu Ba, and Yu Ba was very happy to hear the man speak, because he hadn't spoken to anyone for a long time, and he was about to suffocate to death. But what the man told him came like a nightmare.
After hearing this, Yu Ba didn't say a word, and sat on the ground, stunned, with blank eyes. He never imagined that the group of people who killed his parents and slaughtered them in Taoyuan Village were actually the ones who captured him and came back. This organization is called the Black Lotus Holy Sect.
The man also told Yu Ba that the reason why they kept him was just in case he still had value in the future, and if he didn't, he would end up dead.
In the days that followed, Yu Ba's spirit fell into a state of collapse, and he looked at the candlelight hanging on the wall, which was so bright, illuminating this dark house. But the candlelight in his heart had long since been extinguished, and there was no temperature, as if he had fallen into the ice and snow, and he could not see the dawn of dawn.
Looking at the gatekeeper at the door, his father-killing enemy was in front of him, but he couldn't take revenge, so he could only wait for death here. He didn't expect these people to let him out, and even if they did, it would be a great shame for him.
In the end, under the painful struggle, he decided to cut off his life with his own hands, so that he could be released from the abyss of pain, and maybe he would live a better life in another world than he is now.
Hearing a bang, a violent crash came from the room, and the doorkeeper immediately looked into the room and found that Yu Ba had fallen to the ground, and bright red blood was oozing from around his head.
"When I wake up again, it's where you're lying now." Yu Ba looked at Yu Yi and said with a smile.
Yu Yi was stunned for a moment, and asked suspiciously, "What do you mean?" Why are you here when you wake up? β
"It was I who found him in the wilderness, and Xiang'er and I saw him faint on the ground, and found that he still had a trace of breath, so we brought him here and rescued him." Wolf Shadow took a sip of water and said to Yu Yi.
"They thought I was dead, so they threw me into the wilderness, but they never thought that I would be saved by the demons."
Yu Yi looked around, and many wolves had turned into human forms, staring at them with bright eyes, looking very fierce. Then he cast his gaze on Wolf Shadow, a huge monster that although he didn't look so fierce, he wasn't so amiable either.
Maybe it's because he's silent and doesn't like to talk, but Yu Yi still can't understand why a demon would save a human who has nothing to do with him.
"Why did you save my big brother?"
In the face of Yu Yi's questioning, Wolf Shadow's face still didn't have any expression, his eyes looked ahead, and he replied lightly: "It's not me who saved him, but Xiang'er." β
"Xiang'er!" Yu Yi heard this name once, who was this Xiang'er, and couldn't help but arouse his curiosity.
"Who is this person named Xiang'er? I've heard you say that name for the second time. β
"They are the daughter of our king, she was the one who had to save your eldest brother and brought her here."
Speaking of this, Yu Ba also said: "She is a very kind girl, and I have been taken care of by him a lot over the past year." β
"I didn't expect that there are such kind-hearted people in the demon world!" Yu Yi muttered secretly in his heart, this completely subverted his previous understanding of demons.
"That... Big brother, how did you find me this time? β
Yu Ba looked at the wolf shadow and replied, "I heard the news from the leader of the wolf shadow that Li Xuantian was making trouble in Huojiazhuang, so I asked him to take me to the West Village to find Li Xuantian, and wanted to inquire about your whereabouts from him. When we were about to reach the West Village, the leader of the Wolf Shadow suddenly said that he smelled a smell of blood, so he followed the smell, but he didn't expect it to be you and Xinyan. β
At the mention of Xinyan, Yu Yi became excited, and hurriedly asked, "By the way, what about Xinyan?" Hasn't she woken up yet? There won't be any danger to your life! β
"Don't worry! Xiang'er is taking care of her! Your skills are stronger than Xinyan's, so you wake up quickly, and she naturally wakes up slowly. β
"That's good!" Yu Yi took a deep breath, he really didn't want his relatives to leave him.
"Okay Yu Yi, before you recover, tell my brother the story of what happened to you in the past year!"
Yu Yi touched his head with a smile and began to tell Yu Ba about his bits and pieces in the Huasheng Temple in the past yearΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·
