Chapter 26: Red Dust
Jiang Zhige was silent for a moment, slowly raised her head, her eyebrows were deep, and she said silently-
"Qingtian, you're afraid that you'll be stupid by a mouse."
Qingtian couldn't cry or laugh when she said this, so he simply spread his hands and said helplessly: "You haven't been tortured stupidly, then you can tell me, how to solve this hexagram?" ”
Jiang Zhige was asked by him like this, so he came to him with a smile and said shyly: "Are you stupid? Don't you have silver coins? There must have been a remnant of poison on this coin. In such a big demon world, there won't even be a person who understands strange poisons, right? This question, isn't it much more useful than your blind guessing here? ”
After Jiang Zhige finished speaking, he smiled proudly, waved his middle finger, pursed his lips, and sighed why this Qingtian had such a bad brain.
Unexpectedly, Qingtian was silent for a long time when she said this, his face was a little embarrassed, and he hesitated for a long time before he said: "There is a person in this demon world, who knows the world's strange poisons, and even the people in the fairy world can't compare to him. It's a pity...... He's dead. ”
"Poof-dead?! Then there are no more such people in this demon world? ”
Jiang Zhige asked in disbelief.
"Not anymore. The prodigy is said to have committed suicide. The strange thing is that before he committed suicide, he quietly poisoned all the people in the demon world who could poison him. Then, he committed suicide as well. And all the herbs and books he studied all his life were destroyed in a fire. ”
"Therefore, since then, people in the demon world can only distinguish poisons based on experience, and cannot distinguish poisons by taste."
Qingtian said with a regretful bow.
"What kind of stimulation is this person under...... I can't think of it......"
Jiang Zhige not only sighed with emotion, but also smacked her tongue again and again, most of the people who can poison are people who ordinary people can't understand.
"That'...... What about the fairy world? Is there no one in the fairy world who knows the poison of the world? ”
"This Demon Realm and Immortal Realm are not incompatible, even if there really is, how can it help me with this Demon Venerable? Don't be whimsical. ”
Demon Venerable said with a wry smile.
"That's right...... So, in this way, there are still people in the fairy world who know the poison of the world, right? ”
Jiang Zhige didn't give up and insisted on asking.
"There used to be one. Later, though...... He is no longer in the fairy world. also gave up studying the world's strange poisons, gave up the art of practicing qi, and gave up everything in the fairy world. Willing to be an ordinary person. And vowed never to touch poison again. ”
The Demon Venerable hesitated for a moment, and then said slowly: "You have also seen this person. ”
"Who?"
Jiang Zhige asked curiously.
"If this person can lend a helping hand and answer his doubts, wouldn't this matter be solved?"
"He may not be willing. He is the old man who ferries in Lethe. It's called - Soul Eater. The Demon Realm Soul Eater Flower, the one you saw last time, is his last poison. ”
Demon Venerable sighed softly and said.
"It turned out to be that old grandfather......"
Jiang Zhige was stunned, and her eyes were incredible.
"In that case, we might as well go to him. If he does, most of the things will be successful! ”
Jiang Zhige couldn't help but say, pulled Qingtian and ran to the edge of the Lethe River!
"How long do you have to run like this?"
Qingtian hesitated for a moment, a trace of firmness flashed in his eyes, and he wrapped one hand around Jiang Zhige's waist, holding her and carrying her to fly lightly, and then saw him tiptoe to the ground, and he quickly galloped towards the edge of Lethe!
When they arrived at the edge of the Lethe River, they saw that the wharf was really deserted today, and there were not a few figures moving, and the old man was also sitting on the bow of the boat, silently looking at the vastness of the Lethe River, and his eyes were quiet.
No waves.
"Old man, I wonder if you can help?"
Jiang Zhige saw that Qingtian hesitated and didn't dare to step forward, so he snatched the silver coin from his cuff, stepped forward and approached Zhouge, and asked with a smile.
But when he saw the old man's originally approachable face, when he looked at the silver coin in Jiang Zhi's singer, his face changed drastically, his lips trembled, and he asked in a very low voice: "Where did this thing come from, girl?" ”
Jiang Zhige saw that he must have recognized the poison on this silver coin, so he looked around and saw that there was no one else, and said, "This thing was obtained from the mouth of the First Demon Venerable Qingcang. Because he suspected that Qing Cang might have been poisoned before his death, and because of this, the poison had been separated for too long, and he learned that the old gentleman knew the poison of the world, so he came to ask for advice. ”
As soon as these words came out, he saw that the old man's eyes flashed extremely complicated emotions, his eyes dodged and turned his back, looked at the vast water of Lethe, sighed, and said softly: "If the girl doesn't ferry, if she has other things to ask for, please go back." Today's Lethe River is big, don't startle the girl. ”
"Old gentleman!! Can you help take a look!? You know that, don't you?! ”
Jiang Zhige saw that he refused, and didn't understand the reason, but he still didn't give up, grabbed the old man, and asked eagerly!
At the same time, the silent Qingtian "plopped-" knelt down on one knee and said sincerely: "Qingtian has never knelt down except for the parents of heaven and earth. Now the cause of my father's death is unknown, and he has a deep blood revenge, so he has to revenge. I also hope that the old Mr. Soul Eater can give me some advice, I am not very grateful! ”
With that, Qingtian knocked his head three times in a row, and there was a sound on the ground!
But he saw that the old man always had his back to the two of them, looking at the end of the Lethe River, looking lonely and vicissitudes.
Finally, between the heavens and the water, he slowly turned around, but he was already in tears, his eyes were full of remorse and helplessness, trembling on the territory of this demon world, slowly bent down, gently helped Qingtian up, and said softly: "Child, you don't have to kneel to me." Between heaven and earth, all virtuous people can kneel, but I am the only one who cannot kneel. ”
"Why?"
Qingtian didn't know why, his eyes were confused, and he asked puzzledly.
"Later, you'll understand."
The old man sighed, glanced back at the end of Lethe, took a pot of wine from his back, and gently sprinkled a line of sake with the place where he stood.
The aroma of wine soon spread in the air, and with the old man's melancholy words, it fell into the air—
"I originally thought that I was not in the fairy world, I was not in the demon world, and in this Lethe River, the wind and candle were dead in this life, but they also ended up clean. Now it seems that my fate is up to me. ”
"That's it, that's it. Who told me to stay here for so many years, I have seen all the vicissitudes of life, and I still don't understand the truth that everything is empty......"
"This is fate......"
The old man said, and the two lines of old tears fell suddenly, splashing in the river water of Lethe, like two crystal clear diamonds, and soon, they were snatched up by the resentful spirits in the river.
Again, there is no trace of the original.
