Chapter 241: The Shadow of the Great Shore
In fact, the aunt always felt that Ling Daozi had discovered her, but she didn't know how to explain her situation, thinking about it, under the temptation of food, he still walked out of the void, picked a seat and sat down, and shouted loudly, "Little Er!" "It's not their business at all.
Seeing this, Ling Daozi smiled, and an invisible tacit understanding was formed between the two, and if they didn't break each other, they would treat each other as strangers who happened to be on the way.
After a full meal, my aunt touched the yin and yang ring, and suddenly remembered that the money she was using now seemed to be completely waste paper that no one had seen in this era. In other words, she has no money. The aunt smiled bitterly and looked at Xiao Er, who came to collect the account, and picked up a necklace tremblingly and put it on the table, "You...... Look, is this okay? It's a sapphire on the top. ”
"Guest officer, you can ...... this" Xiao Er glanced at the blue stone, a little hesitant.
The aunt was about to continue fooling around, and a silver ticket was released. Ling Daozi smiled at her, turned around and left. The aunt hurriedly pushed the silver ticket up and said, "Looking for money, what are you still doing in a daze?" ”
Ling Daozi, who had just walked a short distance, couldn't help but smile when he heard this, while Yan Zhengqing had a strange expression.
"Teacher, why are you helping her? She's been with us for a long time. Yan Zhengqing asked.
But she never showed murderous intent from beginning to end, it seemed that it was just out of pure curiosity. And, have you forgotten the purpose of our coming out? One is to avoid the limelight, and the other is to recruit troops, we need partners to sit firmly in that position. Remember, the most important thing to lead a collective is the human heart. Ling Daozi said righteously. The smoke and dust no longer drifted, mostly because of a rain that pressed the smoke and dust on the ground. This should be a good thing, the world after the rain is always clean and fresh, with a bit of a new smell. But if it's a red rain, that's a different story.
Lin Qiu grabbed the axe first, and staggered down the path, the blood wetting his clothes and sticking to his body, and behind him lay corpses, either with severed hands, or headless, or cut into sticks, none of which were whole. In front of these corpses, there are still thieves who do all kinds of evil, boasting that they are not afraid of heaven and earth, but their expressions before they die are full of horror, like the last bandit who is paralyzed on the ground at the moment and cannot move.
"Once, twice, three times...... Is there any end to it? We are human beings, not beasts of yours! There's not much food in the first place, and you still have to come and grab it! Uncle Liang only has such a daughter in his fifties, and he finally grew up, and the guys in the family are pointing at her, and you still have to rob it! Are you human? Is it human? Yes? The axe was raised high and smashed down, blood splattered in a wide fan, and an arm flew with the blood before falling to the ground.
Lin Qiu first chopped and scolded at the same time, until he chopped this person into meat sauce, and he was exhausted. He sat down on the ground, the axe was no longer steady, his chest was rising and falling violently, the strong smell of blood made him dizzy, and a strong tingling sensation began to strike when his body was relaxed, like a beast devouring him in one bite, he lay down weakly, his whole body was like a fire, his lips were chapped, his throat seemed to be blocked by something, he couldn't say a word, he opened his mouth, babbling, and his voice was inaudible. He turned his head with difficulty, slashing to the sides, his vision blurring, but he could still see a pair of eyes, peeking through the cracks in the doors and windows.
Those eyes, he was very familiar with, were all people in the village, and the neighbors and villagers he got along with day and night, and he could even call people's names through these gazes. However, he suddenly felt strange, because these eyes contained strange emotions, fear, insecurity, contempt, and disgust...... Every emotion is bitterly cold. Lin Qiu slowly closed his eyes first, blocking all gaze.
Human beings are weak, so they are always afraid of things that do not exist for themselves. For example, a child who killed a team of bandits with an axe, in their opinion, is much more terrible than bandits, that is not a person, it is a monster, how can a monster get the care of humans? Even if the monster saved them. Xu understood this, and Lin Qiuxian also accepted the fact that he was a monster, after all, he didn't know where his innate divine power came from.
I don't know how long it took, the sky was completely dark, and the stars and moon occupied the sky. Lin Qiu first got up from the ground by the miserable white moonlight, the blood stains on his body had dried up, and the smell of blood turned into a fishy smell, which was disgusting. As if he hadn't smelled it, his face was calm, he picked up the axe beside him and left the village, and he didn't say goodbye to his parents, and the first step was goodbye.
The rabbit who had been hiding in the clouds watched all this, and his delicate face was a little more helpless, and sighed: "We are different from ordinary people after all!" ”
Lin Qiuxian's shadow was stretched by the moonlight for a long time, until it completely melted into the darkness.
In the following years, Rabbit followed Lin Qiuxian and watched him grow up, from a teenage boy to a bearded rough man, until he spent the first hundred years of his life. Beside him, there was one more young man, and the rabbit observed for a long time before he realized that it was Yan Xi's father, Yan Zhengqing.
Time is still passing, but the rabbit doesn't feel much, she only feels that she is watching a movie, or fast-forwarding, I don't know when, the child who once killed people in the village and realized it is more than a hundred years old, accepted a student, mixed with the high-level of the Spirit Dao League, and is already the top powerhouse in this world.
The rabbit felt suddenly from time to time, and what she had seen and heard along the way often flashed in her mind, like a dream, and when she suddenly woke up, she saw a completely different world, and even saw acquaintances in this world. The sneaky girl behind Lingdaozi, how can she become more and more familiar the more you look at it? Neat short hair, a height of more than one meter seven, and a perfect curvy body...... The rabbit slapped his thigh and shouted, "Auntie! ”
A sudden scream behind him made the aunt stunned, how familiar this scream is, basically you can hear such a sharp scream every day, but under normal circumstances, the scream will only come out with one word, "Ah! "It's two words today, and it seems to call yourself? The aunt hurriedly looked back and saw the rabbit that pounced on her.
The two beauties hugged each other on the street, which was still a very beautiful landscape, which caused passers-by to look sideways. The two of them knew that they were eye-catching, so they hurriedly ran away, and disappeared from everyone's sight after a while. The two of them hid above the clouds and breathed a sigh of relief.
"What's going on? Why are you here? The rabbit pulled the aunt and asked, his big eyes full of confusion and doubt.
The aunt looked at Ling Daozi and Yan Zhengqing, who were walking briskly in the city, and said: "The so-called spirit crossing is that the spirit crosser dedicates his life to the person who is being crossed, this may be the so-called dedication method." There are three of us, and the Spiritual Son is supposed to divide us to different points in his life, and finally let us meet at the end of the line. You should have come here from the beginning, right? ”
The rabbit thought of the young Lin Qiuxian, nodded, and said, "Isn't that unfair?" I've been through so much more! ”
"It's hard to say, everyone is different, but I don't think Lingdaozi will make this crossing of the spirit unfair. Since you're here, let's go to the end to find Lao Zhuang together! I think it's going to be a big battle at the end. The most glorious battle in Lingdaozi's life. Auntie said.
"Was that the great battle that saved the Spirit Alliance? However, in this way, the ancestor has been fighting with his own people all his life! The rabbit muttered.
"I don't know if it's good or bad for him." The aunt let out a long sigh and said.
The two of them didn't say anything more, and continued to follow in the footsteps of Ling Daozi and travel around the world. Watching him recruit troops, he gradually had his own team in the Spirit Dao League, and he reached the top step by step, but at that time. The desire hidden in the shadows finally couldn't be suppressed and exploded completely. In one day, the heavens and the earth collapsed, and the city in the sky was in ruins. The two of them looked at all this in amazement, looking at the majestic figure in a brilliant light.
A hand reached out from the void, and with a slight grasp, the raging shock wave immediately settled, and there was a soft pop in the palm of the hand, and wisps of green smoke floated out from between the fingers and dissipated with the wind. Ling Daozi waved his robe, and his invisible energy blew away all the approaching people, clearing up a world for his good student Yan Zhengqing and the sudden teenager.
"It's Lao Zhuang!" The rabbit tugged at the corner of the aunt's clothes, and before he could react, he found that he had been brought into the spatial passage, and when he reappeared, he had already come to Lao Zhuang's side, that is, the center of the encirclement. The rabbit felt the oppressive atmosphere around him and muttered, "Auntie, you can roar before you leave next time, okay?" ”
At this time, the rabbit realized that the aunt did not listen to her at all. The aunt was shushing next to Lao Zhuang and asking for warmth, completely ignoring the embarrassed rabbit behind her.
"Your friend?" Ling Daozi asked.
Lao Zhuang shook his head, took his aunt's hand, and said, "Wife." Then he pointed to the rabbit behind him, "Friend." ”
"It's good, talented and beautiful. Then take care of your family and friends, and if you have spare time, help me take care of my students, and I'll just come to them. As he spoke, Ling Daozi slowly walked forward, facing the sun, stepping on the boundary between light and darkness. The green tea slowly flowed from the spout and landed in the teacup, and the faint aroma wafted out of it, and as the wind dispersed, everyone's sense of smell was hooked, and a pair of eyes followed the aroma. Zhang Yue picked up the tray and sent the brewed tea over one by one, Yan Zhengqing took the tea, and was touched by the fragrance of tea at close range, his always serious face eased a little, and he couldn't help but praise: "It's really good tea!" ”
Zhang Yue had no intention of drinking tea, even though the fragrance of tea was overflowing, he took a sip and put it down, and continued to look at the small lake that had been shrouded in golden light. It's been a month, and there's still no sign of the end of the Crossing Spirit. He could feel the continuous loss of life force in the golden light, and he thought that Lingdaozi was getting closer and closer to the final bliss. But what he cares more about is the situation of Lao Zhuang, Aunt Xiao and Rabbit. Their breath was completely infelt, as if it had completely disappeared. Zhang Yue only knew about the transitional spirit in the classics, and she didn't know whether this situation was normal or abnormal, so she was naturally relieved.
Yan Xi sat beside him, but he didn't look worried, and while drinking tea, he used his notebook to look at the latest new episodes, and he was happy. The nurse and the old black were still typing on the keyboard, engaged in a fierce battle, and the flickering lights and shadows on the screen were reflected in their pupils, as if they were going to hook their souls away.
Only Zhou Qianying noticed Zhang Yue's strange appearance, picked up his teacup and handed it over, and said with a smile: "This tea is not good when it is cold." ”
"Well, thank you." Zhang Yue took the tea, took a few sips of it, and put it down again.
"Still worried?" Zhou Qianying asked.
Zhang Yue didn't think about covering it up, nodded and said, "Even if I don't use my soul power, I shouldn't not feel any breath, and I don't know if this is normal." ”
Yan Zhengqing, who was immersed in the fragrance of tea, suddenly said: "Crossing the spirit has always been the most mysterious ritual in the alien spirit world, and you can directly enter the life of the person who crosses the spirit, and personally experience the joys, sorrows, sorrows, loves, hatreds, and hatreds of his life. Therefore, it is normal for anything to happen during the crossing of the spirit. But you can rest assured, there are records in history that the souls who died were all soul-crossers. And the lucky ones who accepted the spirit of the crossing all got a huge harvest. ”
"What about the ones that aren't recorded?" Zhang Yue asked rhetorically.
Yan Zhengqing's expression froze, and he no longer spoke, but handed over the teacup that he had drunk. Zhang Yue was about to take the teapot to pour tea, but Zhou Qianying grabbed it and said: "Whether there is a record or no record, it has already begun, and it is useless to worry." Wait patiently. ”
As soon as the words fell, the golden light, which had never changed, suddenly trembled. Zhang Yue raised her eyebrows slightly, and muttered, "Ancestor, go." "That majestic vitality completely dissipated in the moment just now, and there was nothing left. Yan Zhengqing stood up from the ground suddenly, the teacup in his hand was crushed, and the tea was spilled on the ground.
Yan Xi pressed pause, and Lao Hei and the nurse also removed their hands from the keyboard, allowing their characters to die under the slaughter of the red-blooded boss. Everyone's attention was focused on the golden light, and they were still breathing, not daring to make a sound, for fear of ruining the last step of this ritual.
……
Ling Daozi stepped on the body of an old man, and the chest that was originally erect under his feet was now sunken, and those old eyes revealed despair and fear, and finally gradually lost their color. Ling Daozi looked at the army of alien spirits in front of him and said lightly, "Next?" ”
No one dared to speak out, seeing the corpse suspended in the air, and the sea of blood condensed behind Ling Daozi, who else could raise the courage to stand up? In the face of life and death, they are all timid. There is no shame in this, people who are afraid of death often have a sense of responsibility, because to live is to take responsibility. So, these people silently laid down their weapons, or knelt down to take on the responsibility of living next.
Ling Daozi kicked away the old man's body and walked forward, "Do you think I should let you go?" ”
Still no one dares to speak, this is a question of life, what qualifications does the loser have to talk about it? History is written by the victors, not to mention your life. Seeing that no one answered, Ling Daozi turned to look at the inexplicable three people who appeared, "What do you think?" ”
"Winning without killing is at least convincing to most people. was happy for a while, killed, and formed hatred, which will be troublesome to deal with in the future. So, don't kill. Auntie thought for a while and said.
Ling Daozi looked at the rabbit again, and the latter was stunned for a while before he said hesitantly: "It's all your own people, why bother with your own people?" Don't kill. Lao Zhuang didn't answer, just nodded simply. This action made both the aunt and the rabbit stunned, and their expressions were puzzled.
Ling Daozi smiled and raised his hand silently, and the sky was suddenly sliced open, and a huge ball of light slowly fell, with a heavy pressure, almost crushing the heavens and the earth. In an instant, everyone's bodies knelt down uncontrollably, and every cell on the body was pressed to death, and they couldn't squeeze out any strength, so they could only wait for death.
The aunt dragged Lao Zhuang and asked, "Why?" ”
"Because, he doesn't want to be the leader of the alliance." Lao Zhuang glanced at Yan Zhengqing, whose breath was still very weak. The two daughters of the aunt and the rabbit instantly understood, and their gaze at Ling Daozi changed slightly.
Yan Zhengqing gritted his teeth, his eyes were condensed, as if he was struggling for something, he watched the movement of the ball of light, that little bit of falling trend, although it was very slow, there was no sign of wanting to stop. Of course, he knew Ling Daozi's intentions, but in his heart, the position of the alliance leader should be his teacher, not himself.
The ball of light was still falling, and the huge pressure had already overwhelmed people, and they began to vomit blood, and even fainted directly.
"Live...... Stop it! The words that were stuck in the throat were in a dilemma, and they were finally shouted out by Yan Zhengqing, with tears in his eyes, he knelt in the void and kowtowed vigorously, "Teacher, let them go!" Our enemy is a demon after all! We have no reason to kill them! ”
"One will succeed and ten thousand bones will wither, and those who will achieve great things must be ruthless." Ling Daozi said indifferently, but the ball of light had already stopped, and it was only a meter away from those losers.
Yan Zhengqing took a deep breath, suppressed the churning thoughts in his heart, and said, "I understand, but the Spirit Dao Alliance has suffered a great loss of vitality due to this calamity. What the current Spirit Dao Alliance needs is not killing, but peace, and we need to recuperate before we have the foundation to face the counterattack of the demon clan. to have the ability to continue to protect this world! Have you forgotten? Alien people are demon killers, not murderers! ”
"Of course I do." Ling Daozi put down his hand, let the ball of light disperse, and when he said that sentence again, he suddenly grew old, his originally straight waist gradually bent down, his teeth fell out, his skin was loose and wrinkled together, and the wrinkles seemed to be carved up, he made a move with his hand, summoned a bamboo cane, supported himself and turned around tremblingly, looking at the army of alien spirits who were still kneeling on the ground, and sighed: "Now, I let my student Zhengqing be the leader of the alliance, you won't have an opinion, right?" He can let you go this time, and you can not let you go next time, and you can weigh it yourself. Alien people are demon killers, not murderers, do you need me to say what to do next? After saying that, Ling Daozi left.
……
The golden light became more and more dim, and finally completely dispersed, and the three of Lao Zhuang bent down and maintained a bowing posture. And Lingdaozi was only left with a vague phantom, his legs crossed, sitting cross-legged in the void. It's finally over.
Ling Daozi looked at the three people in front of him and said with a smile: "My life is quite colorful, right?" ”
Auntie smiled: "Thank you for your advice, although you have been fighting with people all your life, you have also fought for us an era of peace, and you have made meritorious contributions to mankind." ”
"That's right, and you're not completely undefeated! When you were young, you still killed a few troublemakers, so you don't have to be so arrogant. I learned a lot this time, thank you. The rabbit chimed in.
Ling Daozi was about to return the salute, but Lao Zhuang spoke, "At the last moment, do you want to win people's hearts?" ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone present was stunned. The smile on Ling Daozi's face gradually disappeared, and then slowly emerged, only a little more bitter and helpless, "People can see a lot of things before they die. Me too, I just hope that in the future, no matter what happens, even if the Spirit Alliance does something sorry for you, for the sake of humanity and the world, you can still come back. Fight for the Spirit Alliance. I just want to tell you that the Aliens are demon killers, not murderers. ”
Two lines of clear tears slipped down, dripping on the surface of the lake, splashing two small splashes, and Ling Daozi's figure completely faded. A generation of legends has fallen.
