Chapter 274: Inevitable Accident
Of course, Banyou realized that something was wrong with him, but he couldn't control the strange emotions in his heart, let alone his actions.
The Demon Venerable noticed the semi-obscure gaze, and turned his head suddenly, just opposite the semi-gloomy four eyes that had no time to hide.
"Aha, got you." The Demon Venerable smiled proudly and asked Banyou with a big grin, "What are you always peeking at the deity?" ”
Half-embarrassed, he staggered his gaze and did not respond to the Demon Venerable's question, not knowing if it was because of the jealousy surging in his heart, or because he was really embarrassed.
I saw that he was holding the ghost blade tightly, not daring to glance at the Demon Venerable again, stiffening his neck, forcing himself not to squint, as if the person standing next to him was not an unknown demon, but a mirror with special abilities, which could shine through all the filth and darkness in his heart, and strip away all his disguises.
"You little demon, don't be embarrassed, the deity is really good-looking, Xiaowei can't take her eyes off every time she looks at the deity. The deity is in a good mood today, and for the sake of your relationship with Xiaowei being closer than ordinary creatures, I will allow you to take a look at it twice. Demon Venerable laughed heartily and said to Banyou very generously.
Banyou was stunned fiercely, not for the generosity of the Demon Venerable, but for his sentence of "not taking his eyes off it".
In all fairness, the appearance of the Demon Venerable is indeed excellent, with a high nose and deep eyes, sharp edges and corners, and a well-defined silhouette, quite exotic, somewhat like those male models on the cover of the magazine, a pair of blood-red eyes add a bit of evil charm, coupled with a long blue hair, the demeanor is fierce, which makes those male models unreachable.
Banyu thought that he couldn't reach it, and he couldn't help but feel a slight sense of bitterness and inferiority in his heart.
Seeing the half-ghostly and dejected appearance, the Demon Venerable smiled with satisfaction, ignored him no longer, and turned his head to look at Huaiwei on the Yuanhe River, like a victor.
At this time, Huai Wei was focused on the selection of the new ghost king, and she didn't realize that she had set off a demon and a demon vinegar.
I only heard her solemnly ask Hu Lie: "Are you ready?" ”
"Prepare what?" Hu Lie, who was driven to the shelves, was confused and asked in a daze.
"Of course, it's to accept the tempering and be promoted to the ghost king." Huaiwei responded as a matter of course.
"God, are you serious? But in any way, I don't have the qualifications. Hu Lie really couldn't understand why Huai Wei had to force him.
"I'll be eligible right away." Huai Wei changed her serious tone, "I tell you plainly, you are the ghost king today, and you can't escape." ”
"God, I want to know why." Hu Lie insisted on asking the reason, and made a guess, "Is it because I saved the god back then?" ”
"If you have to think so, then this can be one of the reasons, after all, you are not saving ordinary creatures, but gods." Huaiwei responded half-jokingly.
The ghost clans pricked up their ears to listen to Huai Wei's explanation, and when they heard this, they were all a little angry, thinking that Hu Lie was just luck, and they talked about it.
Hu Lie himself defended: "But this is just a coincidence. What's more, I didn't help much, but I just took you out of the ghost world. ”
"Luck is part of strength, isn't it?" Huai Wei looked at Hu Lie, who was unmoved by the high position and insisted on it, and nodded with satisfaction.
"But that doesn't make me a reason to be elected as the Ghost King, does it?" Hu Lie has his own insistence, and it is difficult to convince him on this reason alone.
Seeing this, Huai Wei gave another reason: "Do you know? Destiny cannot be violated. Heaven is constant, who will sit in the position of the ghost king, it is not up to me to decide, there is a fixed number in the underworld. When you saved me, it was a good relationship between you, me, and the way of heaven. This makes your luck better than that of the average ghost clan, so that you can meet the savior, and the ghost king Shuyan wants to harm you, but he never does it. Your savior has helped you change your face, so that the Ghost King will not be aware of your presence for thousands of years. ”
"Speaking of which, it's not luck." Hu Lie was not surrounded by Huaiwei, thinking that the good fate of the Heavenly Dao was also a kind of luck.
"If you can get the blue eyes of heaven, it is equivalent to embarking on the road to promotion, which is not due to luck, but your kindness brings it to you." Huai Wei corrected Hu Lie.
This statement is relatively easy to accept, and Hu Lie did not immediately refute it.
"The heavens will descend on the people, and they must first suffer their minds, strain their bodies, empty their bodies, and act chaotically, so they will be tempted to endure and gain what they cannot. Your rebirth from a dead soul to a ghost is your creation and your suffering. The process was extremely painful, and without extraordinary perseverance, it was impossible to make it to the end. All of this is inevitable by chance, and there is a bit of luck in the inevitable, and you happened to bump into this opportunity. Opportunity is not easy to get, it depends not only on grievances, but also thanks to your persistent persistence. Huai Wei praised Hu Lie fiercely, and also revealed how difficult his road to rebirth was.
Having said this, the discussion of the ghost clan below laughed a lot, and the clamor of the crusade that had just been very loud and dusty died down one after another.
Hu Lie was silent, the hardships and pains of rebirth, he knew better than anyone else that Huai Wei's words were not wrong.
"And the most important thing." Huai Wei gave the final reason, "You may not know that the previous ghost kings have experienced the process of rebirth from birth to death, from soul to ghost, and only with this calamity can they be qualified to become ghost kings." In today's ghost world, only you meet the conditions, so the position of the ghost king belongs to you. ”
The ghost clan stopped talking, and even the unconvinced ghost venerables couldn't raise any objections, and in the end, none of them met this condition.
"But I'm not strong enough." Hu Lie was not fluttered by Huai Wei's words, he was extremely aware of his shortcomings.
"Lack of strength? It's good to make up for it, it's not simple. Huai Wei disagreed, and responded lightly.
"How do you make it up?" Hu Lie felt curious, and stuck to the bottom line, emphasizing, "Taking a shortcut to crooked ways is not the right way to improve your strength." ”
Huai Wei listened to Hu Lie's reminder, and felt that he was really funny, so she couldn't help but tease him and said, "How do you know that I want you to take a shortcut?" ”
"Please think twice." Hu Lie bowed his head in fear and pleaded, and indicated his position, "If the god insists on going his own way, please forgive the little ghost for not complying." ”
In the face of the temptation of a position of power, they can stick to their hearts, which makes the ghost clan have a great change in their view of Hu Lie, and if they think about it from another perspective, they can't do this.
"Hu Lie, you are narrow-minded. Shortcuts are not all crooked, and sometimes shortcuts are much more difficult to follow than normal paths. Huaiwei's tone was heavy.
