CHAPTER XXXIV
As the whistling wind continued in his ears, the silence between the two remained stagnant.
It wasn't until Ye Ying spoke out again that this cold silence was broken:
"What does it feel like to live for so long as an Ansan demon?"
Zheng Xie's answer was brief and indifferent:
"Not human. ”
The simple word "non-human" encapsulates all the feelings of Zheng Xie in the past 20 years. Whenever the demon of Ansan occupies his body, countless resentments will swallow him like a tidal wave, and he can only indulge in that cruelty and evil, allowing his body to be dominated by a demon.
Whether it is devouring people's hearts or killing their fellow people...... It's enough to drive a person crazy.
But Zheng Xie survived, or rather...... Adapted.
It is precisely because of this adaptation that the gap between Zheng Xie and a real "person" is getting farther and farther. The coldness that will be unconsciously revealed in every life and death battle, as well as the disregard for life, are the residual influence of the original Ansan demons.
"You ...... Why didn't you choose to kill me? You ...... at that time? I don't know that I have ancestral blood and true martial spirit purpose, right?"
Ye Ying once again raised a long-buried question.
Zheng Xie's expression was calm, and his speed did not decrease:
"I don't want to. ”
Ye Ying followed up and asked:
"Why not?"
seemed to be a little impatient, and Zheng Xie's tone became less soothing:
"If you don't want to, you don't want to, what reason is there? If you have to say it, it's just a hypocrisy to deceive yourself. ”
Ye Ying leaned into Zheng Xie's ear, and there was some uncertainty in his eyes:
"Does that make you feel closer to a 'person'?"
Zheng Xie was shocked, but he didn't answer.
At this time, Ye Ying showed a slightly sly smile:
"You don't think I'm so easy to deceive, do you?"
Zheng Xie seems to be a little lacking in confidence:
"What?"
Ye Ying wrapped her hand around Zheng Xie's neck, stretched it out in front of him, shook her fingers, and said:
"You've always been a guy who doesn't like to owe favors, haven't you? When we first met in Da Luo Mountain, you gave up killing because of my kindness, and you kept me safe because you borrowed my spiritual eyes to get out of trouble, and this time we met in the tomb of the Corpse King, and it was the left sentence of cause and ......effect and the other sentence of cause and effect."
"You...... It's clearly a duplicitous liar!"
At this time, Zhang Huaishan's voice of schadenfreude also appeared in Zheng Xie's mind:
"Yo, this girl is not a fuel-efficient lamp!"
Zheng Xie forced him to calm down:
"What does Zheng Daoyou mean by this?"
Ye Ying grinned and hugged Zheng Xie's neck, rubbed her face against the latter's side face, and said softly:
"It's obviously a person who is easily dominated by emotions, so he has to pretend to be particular about cause and effect...... The so-called cause and effect in your mouth are actually just excuses you use to hide that you don't want to owe favors, right?"
"A liar like you, who is flamboyant and likes to flirt with girls, suddenly starts to distance himself uncharacteristically, and a fool will think that you are telling the truth. ”
was made by the intimate behavior of the girl behind him like a kitten, Zheng Xie was also a little vague at this time:
"I ...... No...... I just ......"
Ye Ying obediently put her head on Zheng Xie's back, and muttered as if talking to herself:
"You don't want to have anything to do with me, just because you don't want to take me into this troubled water...... I don't know what it is, but it's definitely something you feel powerless to fight against......"
"But...... This entanglement has already been entangled in the beginning...... How can you get rid of it?"
Hearing these words, Zheng Xie's face was full of helplessness, and it took a long time before he said:
"If a girl is too smart, she won't be liked......
Ye Ying shook her head:
"I won't embarrass you...... Since you don't want me to participate, I won't get involved easily, but ......"
Bang!
Ye Ying mustered up his strength and knocked on Zheng Xie's head, and said viciously:
"Don't pretend like you did before!"
Zheng Xie gasped, and found that he seemed to have no confidence for some reason:
"I ......"
Ye Ying waved his fist in protest and threatened again:
"Do you understand?"
Seeing that Zheng Xie still wanted to quibble, Ye Ying's eyes widened, and her eyes, which were as colorful as a sea of stars, were full of oppression at this time:
"Huh?"
Zheng Xie turned his head, opened his mouth, and finally said in a low voice:
"I understand ......"
Seeing that Zheng Xie was soft, Ye Ying hugged Zheng Xie's neck tighter as if he was victorious.
Zhang Huaishan was enjoying watching the play at this time, and he also laughed:
"Young man, it's not good, it looks like you're being eaten by her!"
Zheng Xie said with annoyance:
"Don't mention the seniors...... This Nizi is very smart, and her spiritual eyes are constantly recovering, and now I am afraid that she can even spy on her emotions for a few ......"
Zhang Huaishan shook his head and looked like a person who had come over:
"That's just right...... Who knows if when you kill the Taiyuan clan in the future, will there be a figure comparable to Ye Zu standing behind you?"
Zheng Xie sighed:
"I'd rather not have ......"
However, Zhang Huaishan waved his hand:
"Come on, grinding and chirping, other little girls can see more thoroughly than you, just you hesitate here alone, are you ashamed?"
Zheng Xie wanted to refute, but found that he was speechless, so he could only shake his head again:
"It's my fault again......"
Zhang Huaishan, who looks honest and honest, looks like a ghost at this time:
"It's wrong, I don't know...... But that reincarnation of the immortal is very tempting......"
Zheng Xie frowned, and also said in his consciousness:
"Senior...... Doesn't it seem appropriate to peek into the memories of younger generations?"
The reason why he said this was because Zheng Xie clearly remembered that after Zhang Huaishan woke up, he didn't mention anything about Song Qing at all, but at this time, Zhang Huaishan seemed to know a lot, and it was not difficult to think of what information he should have obtained from Zheng Xie's memory.
Zhang Huaishan yawned:
"Your boring memories mean nothing to me, just target something interesting. ”
Zheng Xie was solemn in his heart:
"I wonder what the seniors are aiming for?"
Zhang Huaishan smiled:
"It's not a lot, because a large part of your memories since before you met me have been artificially manipulated, and all I can see is a half-star. ”
Hearing Zhang Huaishan's words, Zheng Xie was also slightly relieved. Thinking about it, the so-called "artificial arrangement" should also be the defense set by Bai Fu.
"Having said that, even the reincarnation of the Immortal appeared here, which is really a bit unexpected. ”
Zhang Huaishan also put away his hippie smile, and turned to a serious face:
"All the things that record immortals are just clues, and among them, the Dongshan Miscellaneous Records are the closest to the immortal machine......"
Zheng Xie naturally knew what Zhang Huaishan meant:
"The predecessors are saying that the woman is really the reincarnation of the immortal?"
Zhang Huaishan nodded:
"Very likely! The legend of the Xuanyue Sect at that time attracted many powerful beings to find out, but either they found nothing or said nothing, and the weirdness was beyond imagination......
Zheng Xie quickly grasped a key point:
"Since the reincarnation of the Immortal is so terrifying, then why does the Xuanyue Sect want to hide it today? Could it be just for a corpse king's tomb?"
This time, Zhang Huaishan denied it very decisively:
"Impossible!"
Zheng Xie did not continue to ask, but quietly waited for Zhang Huaishan's narration.
"The owner of this corpse king's tomb is close to mythology, but no matter what, the creation in this corpse king's tomb cannot be compared with the immortals...... As you can see, what can be called a big deal here is nothing more than a corner of the wilderness. The secret of the Great Wilderness and the secret of the immortals, which is better and which is worse is naturally clear. ”
After Zhang Huaishan's explanation, Zheng Xie also guessed:
"It seems that there is going to be a big movement in this life......"
Zhang Huaishan meant:
"It's natural...... The tomb of the corpse king was born, the immortal, and the ancestral blood of the Ye clan...... Also, you monster. ”
Regarding Zhang Huaishan's "monster" title, Zheng Xie does not seem to agree:
"I'm not a monster compared to those demons, am I?"
Zhang Huaishan smiled secretly:
"Who knows...... Don't take the aura as the foundation, the karma is riddled with obstacles, the demon is incarnated, and the nine atmospheres and seas are ......"
"If it's not a monster, what is?"
