Chapter 70: The Redemption for Sin
Qi Xiao looked at Yuan Ji calmly, but Yuan Ji's eyes looked at the dark jade knife in front of him with some surprise.
This is the first time in Yuanji's life that she can look at this ancestral treasure of the immortal underworld country that she has longed for for a long time at such a close distance.
She noticed that the hilt of the knife had been carved with a copper-colored six-pointed star, which formed a framework connected to the crescent-shaped blade.
"Father, I want that knife. "Fifty thousand years ago, at the Queen Mother's auspicious birthday ceremony, Yuan Ji, who had just come of age, asked Haishu Tianzun.
"Which one?"
"It's the one that the most powerful general wears around his waist, and I guess it's the jade knife you said, the fastest knife in the world. Yuan Ji pointed to the former commander of the immortal underworld.
Haishu Tianzun smiled, "The status of that knife is almost the same as that of the treasure of the Zhenguo, daughter, don't talk about you, even if my father personally goes to ask the Emperor of Heaven, he won't be able to ask for it." ”
At this time, Qi Xiao did not look down at Yuan Ji in an unattainable attitude, he chose to sit cross-legged, and between Yuan Ji and Yuan Ji, only separated by the dark jade knife.
The dragon's ice-blue eyes stared at Qi Xiao for a moment, and then it looked away, probably because it didn't feel that it could smell any murderous aura from this uninvited guest.
"I have killed countless people in my life, those who should be killed, those who should not be killed, and all of them. ”
Yuanji's eyes were still on the knife, and she didn't know if she was obsessed with the knife, or if she didn't dare to face Qi Xiao with this ugly face at this time.
"Why did you send me?" Yuan Ji was silent for a long time before finally speaking.
Qi Xiao's hands were naturally on his knees, and the mountain wind blew from behind him, blowing his mopping white hair to Yuanji's side.
If you look at this picture from the side, it's as if Qixiao's long hair wraps Yuanji's whole person from both sides.
"Don't you want to?" Qi Xiao said calmly.
Yuan Ji's heart trembled when she heard this, "How do you know?"
"I've been watching you. Qi Xiao said and pushed the knife two inches forward with Yuan Ji, "You're right, I'm just a mortal, so the only thing I can reach in this life is this." ”
"But I don't like it anymore and don't need it. Yuanji's tone was cold.
Qi Xiao paused when he heard this, "You may really not need it, but if you say you don't like it, you can't convince me." ”
Yuan Ji suddenly withdrew her eyes from the jade knife, stared at Qi Xiao, and said in a loud voice: "I hate your conceited appearance the most! When does my Yuan Ji like something, it's not your turn to make a decision! I order you to roll out of the Tianshan Mountain with this broken knife now!"
Hearing Yuan Ji shout here, the corners of Qi Xiaowannian's stiff mouth showed a warm smile, "Hate me, right?"
"Yes!" Yuan Ji replied categorically, her eyes still like fire to burn the man in front of her entirely, although at this time, her heart longed to keep the smile on the corner of the man's mouth that she had never seen before.
"That killed me. Qi Xiao suddenly suppressed his smile and said, he pulled Yuan Ji's hand up with one hand, and put the handle of the jade knife in her palm with the other, "Do it...... Right now. ”
Yuan Ji was extremely surprised by Qi Xiao's sudden request.
Facing Yuanji, who was completely stunned, Qi Xiao said slowly: "One day, a red maple leaf clearly wrote the scene when I died. It was a barren land with no grass, and there were countless dead trees and flowers standing on the land, and there was only suffocating black and rotten yellow ...... The maple leaf said that I would die in a kneeling position in front of an old woman in the twilight, whose skin was as old as mine, even older than me...... Yuanji, look at it, isn't it very similar to the scene in front of you......"
"Red maple leaves...... Scene at the time of death...... Could it be Mo Yan, is it Xin Tong?" Yuan Ji muttered to herself.
Qi Xiao, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, suddenly propped himself up and knelt directly in front of Yuan Ji, his eyes seemed to say to Yuan Ji, "Do it." ”
Yuan Ji clenched the handle of the knife, but she still didn't understand it in her heart, why did the god of war Qi Xiao suddenly come to the Tianshan Mountain and ask herself to kill him with the dark jade knife?
What is his purpose in doing this?
What's in it for him?
Yuan Ji's four fingers kept clutching the jade knife, and she wondered if she could ignore anything at this time and go down with a knife, so that her soul that had been torn apart for 50,000 years could be completely freed......
Yuanji's heart told herself to hurry up, but her body was pinned to the spot by something.
She had to find a reasonable motive for Qi Xiao, would someone who had never lost in her life, known as the god of war, let herself be killed so easily?
Or ...... He's here to break the spell and kill himself?
"Did you put some kind of life-sustaining method on me? Killing you is equivalent to killing myself. Yuanji's eyes pierced Qi Xiao's chest like a burst of ice.
Qi Xiao's white beard twitched, and he paused before saying, "No." ”
Before Yuan Ji could continue to speak, Qi Xiao continued, "The spells on the barbarian monsters who renew my life for Qi Xiao were all lifted before I came......
"Weird?" said Yuanji's mouth wide.
"Yes, I didn't kill the barbarians who invaded the immortal underworld back then, I kept the young sons of those barbarians to give me a life, you must also be curious why I can live for 50,000 years as a mortal, that's why. ”
"But why are you doing this now?!!!
Qi Xiao smiled, his smile was a little sad and a little cold.
"You're still alive, how can I get tired of living, to be honest, I didn't think that I would die one day, I thought I would always drag this old body to live, until the day you left. ”
"Then what do you mean?" Yuan Ji looked at the jade sword.
"A lot of people have died!" Qi Xiao's voice suddenly became powerful, "Yuan Ji, a lot of people have already died, if I hadn't come out early, I would have died in the immortal world by now." You should know very well what kind of people are those who die, there is no doubt that I will also die, no matter how many barbarian monsters continue my life, I will eventually die, because I Qixiao is the most sinful person in the Six Realms of Heaven and Earth!"
Qi Xiao said this, and directly raised Yuan Ji's hand, and the blade of the jade knife was straight to his chest, "Not only the Heavenly Dao God, but as long as everyone in this world knows me Qi Xiao, they all want to kill me, since this is the case, then I have the right to decide whose hands to die at, kill me, so that your wish is granted, the knife is also yours, and there is still a little ......"
Qi Xiao looked at the layers of folds on Yuan Ji's neck and said, "After the knife enters, don't hesitate to drain my spiritual power until it is drained." ”
If Qi Xiao's previous words were to be said, Yuan Ji could still keep her composure, but when she heard this, her heart felt like something had been hit hard, and she was a little suffocated.
And at this moment, a sharp knife suddenly stabbed out of Qi Xiao's chest!
The sharp knife burst out of his chest and turned sideways at a rapid speed, slashing at Qi Xiao's eyes without a hint of hesitation. "Don't!" Yuan Ji shouted.
Who?!
Who the hell is it?!
