Chapter 57: The Devil in a Bottle

"Hey, what more do you want to ask? This king will tell you all today. Because of Shi Zhongyu's silence, Murong Ke suddenly asked in annoyance.

Is it you who want to talk about it yourself? I still have to take the bridge, and I don't want to hear it until someone asks. Shi Zhongyu thought to himself, but he was afraid that he wouldn't speak, so he said something royal secret, which increased her involvement, and hurriedly opened the topic and asked, "Second time?" Your Highness says you have burned your back twice. ”

"Second time...... Murong Ke sneered, his expression was a little contemptuous, "I was fourteen years old on the battlefield, and there were spies in our army, they lured me to go deep alone, and then burned the licorice forest. It's not a place where licorice is grown, but a forest called licorice. On that day, all my guards were killed by the ambush, and I fought my way out of the battle alone, but I was surrounded by fire and could not rush out. This time I swear to hell that if anyone could stand by my side, I would give my life and soul to that person. However, no one showed up. ”

"How did you get saved?"

"Because I was poisoned by fire when I was a child, my father once specially found a treasure, which is said to be a fireproof outer fire. At that time, even the sky did not help me, and instead of raining, the wind was raging, and the fire was even stronger. I dug a pit in the ground, and clothed myself in the outer cloth, and lay deep in it, sucking in the moisture of the earth, until the forest destroyed and the fire was extinguished. It was not as magical as it is legendary, and although it saved me from being burned to ashes by the fire, it also turned into char and melted on my back. It took a month for the doctor to peel it out of my flesh......"

Shi Zhongyu reached out and grabbed Murong Ke's sleeve to stop him from describing in more detail. She has only seen this kind of thing in movies, a professional firefighter, who was trapped in the sea of fire when fighting a mountain fire, also wrapped himself in a heat-insulating cloak and lay in a dirt pit. It is said that it is similar to the feeling of being locked in an oven, extremely painful, and very few people survive.

She can't stand such a scene just by listening, let alone the person concerned? He was only fourteen years old at the time, and in modern times, he was a little boy in junior high school, and he was supposed to have a small fight, bubble chick, play cool, and make some awkward trouble with teachers and parents.

But what about him? Not only did he embark on a ruthless battlefield, but he also had to face the death of his own people who brought deception and the enemy's delivery. When all the subordinates around him turned into corpses and lay at his feet, when he faced the fire that left a psychological shadow since childhood, that kind of fear and despair, even if she understood, she couldn't understand it deeply.

The psychological damage and the pain were all borne by him alone, and he was so young at that time, and he was still in the period of character growth, which was really, very, distressing......

"I know a story called the devil in a bottle." With an idea, not wanting him to immerse himself in the past and feel sorry for himself, Shi Zhongyu said suddenly.

"Huh?" Because of the atmosphere tonight, because of the people around him, Murong Ke said what he didn't want to confide in anyone. But those past events, as well as those dirty secrets he couldn't tell, made him more or less slightly resentful, and at this time, Shi Zhongyu changed the topic, and he didn't react for a while.

"Because His Highness's two oaths in the fire remind me of a folk tale. But it's not Dayan's, it's a legend of an overseas country. I heard that Xihai is connected to farther places, and I heard from an overseas businessman from Xihai. Shi Zhongyu got up and made a foreshadowing first, otherwise Murong Ke would be in trouble to get to the bottom of it.

"You know a lot of stories, let's hear them." Murong Ke snorted, indicating that he was not interested at all, and it was a grace to let Shi Zhongyu say it. Actually, he was curious.

"A bottle fell from the sky, fell into the depths of the sea, and fell in the darkest and most terrible places. There was a devil imprisoned in a bottle by magic, lonely and helpless. So he prayed to heaven: If anyone saves me, I will make him glorious all his life. But he waited for a hundred years, and it was ultimately empty. So he promised: Whoever can save me, I will develop the treasure underground for him. But another hundred years have passed, and the loneliness has not changed. In the third hundred years, he thought, "If anyone can come and save me, I will grant his three wishes." Unfortunately, no one came to save it. He despaired, he was angry, he cursed: If anyone saves me, I will immediately end his life and let him taste the pain too. Your Highness, look how similar you are to that devil. ”

Her story is about the story of "The Fisherman and the Devil" in "One Thousand and One Nights", which is very novel to Murong Ke. So he was silent for a moment, and then slightly annoyed, "Shi Zhongyu, you are too bold, relying on this king to connive at you, you actually dare to say that this king is the devil, so where do you put the emperor?" It's not uncommon for you to utter disrespectful words like this, even if you chop them up. ”

"I'm making an analogy, I'm making an analogy." Shi Zhongyu hurriedly smiled, "Besides, this is the saying that people have overseas countries, everyone has a devil in their hearts, and in our Dayan's words, it is...... Evil thoughts in people's hearts. ”

Murong Ke sneered, slowly sat up, twisted Shi Zhongyu's chin, his pure evil eyes shone brightly, and said in a mellow voice that was accompanied by the night breeze and looked particularly sexy, "Xiaoyu, do you remember the fire in Jiusi Courtyard that night? ”

Shi Zhongyu was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood what he meant, but in order to confuse the enemy, he pretended to be stupid and said, "Remember, what's wrong?" ”

"That day, the king was trapped in the fire again, and I thought, I wonder if anyone will come to save the king today? This king no longer has the heart of gratitude and prayer, and only wants to make the intruders look good. If this king is not mistaken, it was you who dragged this king away from the fire that day. He reverted to his claims, proving that he had disappeared from his momentary weakness. In its place, it is still the same demon who treats no one as a human being.

However, Shi Zhongyu's brain turned fast, and he expected him to say this, but he didn't panic, "Your Highness is putting your own story on the devil in the bottle, right?" ”

"Clever."

"Since you want to set it, you have to set it all ten, don't be different. Your Highness, this should be the kind of person who pursues perfection, right? ”

Murong Ke was stunned for a moment, and he realized that he had fallen into the pit, but Shi Zhongyu didn't wait for him to speak, and continued, "However, the devil in that bottle has made a wish four times." Your Highness, you only made three wishes when you met me. And the devil's third wish was: to fulfill the three wishes of the one who saved him. So I was lucky, I just got three wishes from His Highness. ”

Murong Ke was stunned again, but he didn't expect the result of his questioning to be like this. Not only did he not repair this broken little family, but he was surrounded by him and owed him. Although this statement is a bit reluctant, if it is discussed, it is indeed his own initiative.

"Your Highness, you are a dragon and phoenix among people, and you will not break your word and get fat." Shi Zhongyu grinned. Under the moonlight, a mouthful of small white teeth was exposed, which looked particularly bad and ...... Lovely.

"This king wants to know, what happened to that devil in the end?" Murong Ke replied unanswered.

"A fisherman caught the bottle, opened the seal, and rescued the devil. Unfortunately, it was the fourth time, and the devil wanted to eat the fisherman. "But never underestimate the ingenuity of the little man, the fisherman tricked the devil into returning to the bottle and sealing him again." ”

Murong Ke didn't say anything, just stared at Shi Zhongyu's eyes, causing the latter's heart to jump suddenly, feeling that the situation between the two was extremely dangerous, as if there was a tense string between the hearts of the two of them, as if it would break at any time. Fortunately, after a while, Murong Ke let go of her chin.

"This king won't eat your little fish." He spoke suddenly, but his voice was a little dark, as if the whole person was far away. Originally, tonight he was like a demon descending into the world, with popularity and human flavor.

"But if the king is deceived, he will be imprisoned again... [This chapter is not finished, please click on the next page to continue reading!] ］
