Volume 5, The Three Realms of Stars and Moon_Chapter 232, Mortal Heroes
He slowly raised his hand, pulled a comb out of the pocket of his tunic jacket, and carefully combed his hair neatly, slowly but orderly. I lit a cigarette and looked at him, without the slightest hint of urging.
Collar, sleeves, hair, he put his appearance in order. Looking weak but still majestic, he smiled and said, "Give me a ride." ”
I raised my hand, my fingertips were aimed at Sha Lao's eyebrows, and I only needed to exert a slight force, and my breath would become a thread running through Sha Lao's head, and it would break his life.
It's a little strange to say, I actually admire Sha Lao very much in my heart, among the heroes in the rivers and lakes today, he is special, because compared to earth immortal masters like Luo Wuxin or Tian Ningzi, Sha Lao is just an ordinary mortal, and he hasn't even cultivated for a day. But as long as he could use the resources of the 507 Institute to cultivate for a period of time, the current limit might not come so quickly.
"Anything else to say?" I asked.
"Hehe......" He was still smiling, calm and stable as if he had seen through death, and there seemed to be something hidden in those old eyes, "There is nothing more to say, I am still eliminated by the times after all, let's do it." ”
My fingers were shaking, and I don't know why I just couldn't get this hand down. He used to be my elder, an elder I trusted and respected, but he became a vicious enemy who was constantly chasing me down. But I should have killed him with all my might, because he saw me as an enemy, but I couldn't do it.
"You don't beg for mercy? Why don't you say a word and let me spare your life? "I was a little emotionally excited.
"Hehe, why bother asking?" Sha Lao's ten fingers are crossed, and he is still so frank. I took a deep breath, watched his eyes shake a little, and after a moment gritted my teeth and shouted, "In that case, then the junior will send you on your way today." ”
As soon as the words fell, a bright light flashed between his fingers. At this moment, Zhong Banian woke up slightly, and when he saw this scene, he shouted frantically: "Stop! ”
Then he pounced desperately, between the lightning and flint, Zhong Banian used all his strength to rush forward, and pounced in front of Sha Lao at the moment when the golden light burst out, and the next second, the strong light shot through Zhong Ba Nian's chest and pierced Sha Lao's forehead. The blood mist sprayed, Zhong Banian fell to the ground and curled up covering his wounds, while Sha Lao slowly lowered his head, the blood on his forehead flowed down his nose, and the expression on his face was still so calm but it had gone west. I gave him a dignified death to repay the kindness of the year and break the grievances of many years.
Taking a few steps back, I put away my hand and looked at Zhong Bannian, who was injured on the ground, and said, "Why are you doing this? ”
"Sha Lao is my benefactor, when he took me in and gave me a bite to eat, I made a promise that I would serve him as the Lord in this life, and if he died, I would live, and if he died, I would die." Zhong Banian is not so much a proud warrior as a loyal dog who loyally defends his master.
He lay on the ground, spit out the blood foam in his mouth, and said, "Sha Lao's left coat pocket, there is something in it, you can take it out and take a look." ”
I was stunned and stepped forward, reached out and touched Sha Lao's left pocket, and then took out a neatly folded piece of paper. After opening it, there was actually something similar to a will, and when I took a closer look, it turned out to be an explanation left by Sha Lao in case of danger in case of death. And at the end, he wrote such a sentence: If I am killed by Ba Xiaoshan, the position of director of the 507 Institute can be held by Ba Xiaoshan, and if he does not agree, the temporary vacancy will be decided by the leaders above.
"What do you mean? Let me be the director of the 507 Institute? But I'll kill him! "I was stunned for a moment, and I didn't even realize what was going on.
"Sha Lao said that if you can kill him, it means that you are qualified to be the director of the 507 Institute, and you are the most suitable candidate. Ahem...... I think these six years may be his test for you. If you can overcome the difficulties set by him step by step, then you will end up being a talent who surpasses him. ”
"But you're the master, and ......" I pinched the paper and was stunned, not knowing what to say.
"Me? Hehe, only Sha Lao knows me best, even better than myself, he knows very well that if he dies, then I will have no guardian and no meaning of existence. As far as I'm concerned, I used to want to be an invincible master in the world, because then I could protect Sha Lao. But I was defeated by you, and you shattered my dream of invincibility. Sha Lao is also dead, and I don't have any meaning to live anymore, so ......" Speaking of this, he suddenly raised his hand and slapped his palm on his forehead, and in an instant, blood splashed, and his movements were very fast, and I wanted to stop it but it was too late. A generation of Tianjiao Zhong broke his life in this way for eight years, and he fell in a pool of blood and prostrated at Sha Lao's feet.
I once heard a story about an old man who took in a homeless fighting dog and grew up to defend the old man. But one day, the old man accidentally fell to the roof of the building and died, and no one expected that the next day, the fighting dog also jumped from the same roof.
"Shanzi." The fat man came up to me and called me, and I put the paper away, and when I turned my head with a grim face. It's not as happy as when I dealt with the Haotian family, if everything Zhong Banian told me is true, if all these years of chasing and making trouble are actually Sha Lao's test for me, then have I taken revenge? Did I kill my benefactor?
"Shanzi, Shanzi......" The fat man called me a few more times, I wiped my face and said, "Let me rest for a while, and then we will set off to find Nagisa." ”
"Are you alright?" The fat man saw that I looked a little strange, so he asked.
I smoked a cigarette and waved my hand, looking at the burning corpses in the alchemy room, the fire shining brightly on my face.
"Fatty, do you think we shouldn't avenge this revenge?" I asked suddenly.
"What's wrong? Stunned? Why do you suddenly ask this? The fat man asked curiously.
"I don't know, I wasn't happy at all when I killed Sha Lao. I always feel like I shouldn't take revenge, or that this doesn't quite look like me. ......," I continued, exhaling a smoke ring, "but maybe it was because Sha Lao and I used to be very close, so I didn't feel good about killing him." But there shouldn't be this feeling when dealing with Luo Wuxin, wait for dawn, after dawn, the fire here is almost burned out, let's go find Luo Wuxin. ”
According to the footsteps, Luo Wuxin and the old sheep demon should have reached the core area, and they may not have met today, but it is estimated that there will be a conflict tomorrow. And we may be able to follow the example of today's praying mantis catching cicadas and yellow finches.
The gems around me emitted a faint glow, the burning smell of burning corpses in the blazing flames, and I smoked a cigarette and looked at the darkness and my mind went blank, not wanting to think about it.
After resting for a few hours, the gem began to shine, and soon the gem was completely bright, and the entire demon palace was re-lit, and the world entered daylight. The flames in the alchemy room gradually extinguished, and I stood up and shouted with the wooden box on my back, "The banshee leads the way, we should go to find Nagisa." ”
Follow the path inside the palace and pass through the alchemy room and enter the inner area. The decorations and arrangements are also becoming more ornate, with the most obvious difference being that the stones used on the walls are becoming more beautiful and larger.
"We are now entering the area where the demon generals and demon ministers live, and after passing through this area, we will be able to enter the passage to the palace. These passages are usually closed and only allowed to members of the royal family and those holding royal tokens. I have the tokens of the Five Princes in my hand, so I can take you through smoothly. ”
"Didn't you say that there are many demon clans in the world who disobey you? Then wouldn't your self-proclaimed royal family cause dissatisfaction among other demon clans outside the Triple Heavens? Walking on the road, the fat man asked suspiciously.
"Of course there will be, but the strength of our demon emperor is strong, and the demon generals under him are also capable of fighting well, so now there is no demon clan in the triple heaven and the opponent of our royal family." The banshee replied immediately.
"What about the Triple Heavens?" Luo Qiong then asked.
"The territory outside the Triple Heaven is too wide, and we can't say it, but I believe that our clan is still the strongest, everyone keep up, we are about to enter the royal passage, don't fall behind."
