Chapter 157: Compromise
Ink said that when my hand injury healed and I wanted to go to the Bat Cave, I would come to the black market to find him, and he would take me there.
I casually agreed.
I won't come to him, where Ink knows, Xiao Chou will definitely know, and I always feel very strange and uncomfortable with an unfamiliar person around me.
When I got out of the black market, I saw Xiao Chou standing behind a tree. I ran over and he took a step back when he saw me approaching.
I was stunned for a moment, "Xiao Chou, what's wrong with you?" ”
Xiao Chou lowered his head.
I asked, "What happened in the porcupine cave room before?" ”
Xiao Chou still lowered his head, and did not react at all.
"Bai San, you say!"
Bai San said, "I almost killed you before, but now I don't want to kill you." ”
"Make it clear!"
Bai San said, the first time I received the talisman, I used my injured right hand.
After that time, Bai San knew that the Spirit King had a strong reaction to my blood, and thought that I could collect the talisman with blood, but the last time we were in the blood country, when the blood flowed from my right shoulder, Xiao Chou did not show any excessive emotions after seeing it, and Bai San thought that the guess of using the blood talisman was correct, but specific conditions were still needed.
It wasn't until in the porcupine cave room that Xiao Chou saw that my right hand was injured and he once again showed a very strong reaction, that Bai San also knew what this particular condition was.
Unexpectedly, at that time, Xiao Chou had a strong sense of being subdued, and there was also an impulse that was extremely eager to devour my spiritual energy. This feeling is no different from what the Spirit King felt when he wanted to turn against me.
On the way back to the black market, Xiao Chou and Bai San had a brief discussion, but in the end, they didn't understand why the two completely different mentalities of "submission and obedience" and "revenge" overlapped at the same time.
I asked, "Does it mean that in the future, when I collect talismans and summon the Spirit King, Xiao Chou will have two emotions stacked on top of each other?" ”
"Yes." Bai San deliberately emphasized again, "As for which emotion will prevail, it's hard to say." ”
In other words, this time I will be sent to the black market by Xiao Chou unharmed, which is purely a fluke. Every time the troops are dispatched after that, whether it is "surrendering" or "counterattacking" is unpredictable, and even Xiao Chou himself is not sure.
It is estimated that before the wound on his right hand heals, he will deliberately keep a safe distance from me.
Xiao Chou glanced up at me, and immediately lowered his head.
Bai San said, "Didn't your master tell you not to say this to him again in the future?" ”
It's unusual for Bai San to have such a reaction, if it was before, even before I asked, it would have already begun to ask Xiao Chou Xingshi.
"It's okay Xiao Chou, let's go home." I was about to reach out and pat him, but he dodged away, even though I was holding out my left hand.
If Xiao Chou can't return to the Immortal Spirit Rune, he won't be able to support the resentful spirits in the Rune. So during this time, I have been injecting spiritual energy into the talisman from time to time, and I can still cope with the needs of those resentful spirits in a short time, and after a long time, I will definitely not be able to meet them.
Moreover, the Spirit King's long-term separation from the Immortal Spirit Rune would also cause great damage to him. Even if he holds the "life-saving leaf" left by Xiao Fan, the aura and spiritual power in it are not inexhaustible.
So, it's only a matter of time before the symbol is received.
Three days later, I removed the gauze and the wound healed a week later. In the evening, Xiao Chou finally dared to sit next to me and accompany me to watch the lake empty.
In the past two days, when offering the Immortal Spirit Rune, I always felt that something was not smooth, and whether it was pushed or withdrawn, there was obvious resistance.
"If the Spirit King is not here, these little ghosts will owe discipline!" At night, I sat in front of the window and complained, "Every time I feed a meal, I get tired and sweaty, and I should starve to death one or two to make an example!" ”
Bai San said, "Maybe it's time to collect the charm." ”
There was the sound of footsteps going up the stairs behind me, and when I turned around, Xiao Chou was already standing next to me.
I patted the open space next to me, and Xiao Chou would sit down.
This day is coming sooner or later, I took out the Immortal Spirit Rune, and without any extra words, said, "Collect the Talisman now." ”
"Now?" Bai San was a little surprised. Xiao Chou also looked at me.
"Well, now." I said, "It's always something to do, but it's just a difference between one day earlier and one day later, what's the delay?" ”
Bai San said, "He said that he was not sure. ”
I turned my head to look at Xiao Chou and noticed that his eyebrows were trembling slightly.
"Xiao Chou, two days later, a week later, a month or a year later, will you be sure?" I said, "It's not a matter of thinking about it, but wouldn't it be more realistic to try it than to dream about it?" ”
Bai San said, "Are you confusing the two concepts of trying and gambling?" ”
I smiled, "It's not bad for me." Bai San, have you ever thought that Xiao Chou will have two emotions overlapping, is it related to his two spiritual senses? ”
My spiritual sense undoubtedly made him obedient, and the Spirit King's own spiritual consciousness still wanted to devour the Lord. The reason why the Spirit King didn't fight back during this period of time was not because he surrendered or died, but because he had been oppressed by my spiritual sense, and to put it bluntly, he just didn't get a chance.
This situation is very similar to me and Bai San, I can feel its emotions, and it also knows my state, fortunately, the two of us get along quite well, and Bai San is also tolerant of me.
If there is something that needs to be done separately between me and Bai San, we will never hesitate, because we all know that even if it is done separately, Bai San will help him when he is doing it, and it will help me when I do it. We will not sit silently, let alone maliciously disturb.
But Xiao Chou is not so lucky, in the symbiosis of the two incompatible spiritual senses, they always work in two directions, and Xiao Chou's spiritual sense seems to be very strong and domineering, so it makes Xiao Chou feel uncertain.
On the bright side, maybe without the interference of my spiritual sense, Xiao Chou would be able to control himself better.
I told them what I thought, and I had already guessed that what I could think of, the two of them would have thought of it a long time ago. It's just that it's too risky that he hasn't mentioned it to me.
Bai San asked, "Are you thinking about sealing the Immortal Spirit Rune again?" ”
The heart is not only thinking about it, I am thinking about it almost all the time.
I said, "Collecting talismans and summoning the Spirit King is something that I have to do from time to time, but I don't know when the Spirit King will get out of control. Sealing the Immortal Spirit Rune in the body, it is also possible to die all the time. Bai San, can't you see it yet? I'm the 'risk' person. Since it is destined to be impossible to escape such a fate, it is better to know who you are clearly before you die. ”
Bai San said, "He now has your spiritual sense, and he can barely suppress his spiritual sense, if he returns his spiritual sense to you at this time, the result can be imagined." ”
"Maybe his spiritual consciousness is irritable and uncontrollable, just because he doesn't like to live with me, an alien spiritual being? If this annoying visitor is gone, Xiao Chou will be able to manage his spiritual sense. I looked at Xiao Chou, his head bowed and his fists clenched.
Bai San said, "You want to walk the tightrope again." ”
I smiled helplessly, holding in my hand a decaying spirit talisman that everyone in the world wanted, but I didn't have the ability to make the spirit king bow down to his subordinates, and I really had the intention of occupying the thatched house and not. This tightrope is not what I want to go, the fire below burns the tightrope to the hot feet, standing here is waiting for death, at this time there is no choice but to run forward desperately.
Thinking that it would be another fruitless discussion, Bai San suddenly said, "If you insist on trying, I won't stop you." ”
I was stunned and looked at Xiao Chou, who also looked at me, and there seemed to be a little surprise in his eyes. For him, who is difficult to have expressions, I don't rule out that it was because I was too surprised that I reflected my expression into his eyes.
"White Three...... Seriously, you say? ”
Bai San said, "Your death will happen sooner or later." ”
I was even more confused when it said this, do you want me to seal it? Why do you still have something to say? Could it be that it is scaring me with death?
"As you can see from these few actions, no matter what happens, I'm not afraid." I said, "I'm not afraid of death. ”
Bai San said, "You're not afraid of death, you want to die." ”
My heart is shaking, and I don't have a choice to be honest with it, and duplicity is a waste of effort in front of it.
Bai San continued, "If this is your choice, and you have thought about it, I have no opinion. The immortals said that they should obey the main body, and you also said it. You're not much of a good person to follow, but for me, it's okay. ”
I couldn't help but laugh, but my heart was bitter. Bai San's words, listening to it, always have a feeling of parting words.
This body, Bai San and I share together, and any person's decision will be linked to the other person's good or bad. The so-called prosperity and loss, probably that's it.
I wanted to respect Bai San's thoughts, but I couldn't hold back my expectations.
"Bai San, thank you." It's obviously a word of thanks, but my heart is full of guilt.
Bai San said, "You don't owe me anything, you don't need to be heavy." ”
"White Three ......"
Bai San said, "The reason why you want to seal the Immortal Spirit Rune in your body so much, in addition to wanting to regain your memory, a large part of the reason is that you are afraid that one day the Immortal Spirit Rune will fall into the hands of others. Although you don't remember Xiao Chou, you don't want Bai Yi to lose his brother again. ”
It turns out that Bai San really knows everything, I looked at Xiao Chou, he lowered his head, and for a long time, he looked at Bai San.
Bai San said, "Aren't you the one who began to propose to seal the Immortal Spirit Rune in your body and return your master's spiritual memory?" ”
Xiao Chou's eyelashes trembled slightly.
Bai San continued to say to Xiao Chou, "In all the time before you were born, I always thought that letting him only remember the part of the good memories would give him hope and pull him out of the corpse, but on the day you were born, when he learned all the memories from others, I found out that he was really alive at that moment. insisted on giving him what he didn't want, forcibly protecting his life, but leaving behind a living dead. He gave me the chance to save him, but I failed to live up, and in the future, it's up to you. ”
At the moment of "Bai San......", I had a lot of words blocked in my throat, and I didn't know which one to say first, but no matter what I said, I was pale and weak. Just like now, my eyes are so sore that I can't shed a single tear.
Really, the heart is empty. I have no feelings, only emotions.
Xiao Chou looked at Bai San.
After a long time, I only heard Bai San reply in a gentle tone, "You are the same." ”
