Chapter 77
remembered that he had been compromised for more than ten years, endured humiliation, and because of his friendship, he swallowed the blood and hatred several times, and repeatedly retreated. Therefore, he became a weakling, let people trample under his feet, let Yue Ming draw his sword against him, and let Jun Nuochen play with it in his palm. But now, he doesn't want to be such a person again! He finally figured out that Jun Nuochen was certainly powerful, and he was far from him, but should he obey him because of this? Why can't he be as strong as him, why can't he have his own land and recharge his energy to avenge the murder of his father?
Phantom Ice was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer. Perhaps, he was right. Maybe it's because I'm not deeply involved in the world, and I don't just have hope for many things, but also face them with the greatest kindness. But in this world, there are always things that are difficult to control.
"But even if you are right, I swear, in this life and this life, I will definitely not harm others because of my beliefs, this is the bottom line that I stick to." Phantom Ice suddenly said firmly.
An Lengyao stared at him, the warm light of the fire reflected on the girl's face, she made a promise so firmly. He remembered that from the first time they met on the cliff, to the present, she had indeed treated everything with her kindness. And he is used to seeing each other's calculations and plots in the demon world, and he has to forget what kindness is.
"Bingying, can I trust you?" He asked softly. After going through so much, along the way, he survived in the cracks of conspiracy, and whirled around in the face of hypocrisy, he would also be tired, and he hoped to have someone he could really trust.
"Of course, we're friends, aren't we? Why can't friends trust each other? Phantom Bing asked with a smile.
"Friends?" An Lengyao repeated in a low voice, this is really a word that is far away from him. Once, he also had friends, and he walked together for so many years. But now that all friendship has sunk into grievances, is it possible for him to have friendship again? Thinking of this, An Lengyao's face darkened a little.
However, Phantom Ice didn't notice his eclipse, but patted his chest and said loudly, "From today onwards, we will officially become friends." If you have something to tell me, I will go up the knife mountain and go down to the sea of fire, and I will help you complete it. As she spoke, a smile appeared on her face, as bright as a spark.
After a long time, An Lengyao raised her head, looked at her and said, "Okay, we will be friends in the future." ”
In the days that followed, An Lengyao often remembered this night, even if at that time, he and this girl were already-for-tat, and then she passed away, but he still couldn't forget the warmth at this time.
Later, he met a girl named "Xu Mengxin", and when she also patted her chest and said that she would give everything for her friend, what he thought of was this beautiful night, and her face was so firm in the firelight......
Ye Qian didn't tell anyone in the end, including the Demon Shadow, he wanted to make one last effort. After all, he was a respected elder in the Demon Realm, and although it took some effort to face the enchantment under Jun Nuo's dust, he also successfully entered. There are many things that he is not completely aware of, and more importantly, he does not believe that the gentle and quiet young man who has been by his side for a long time can be a ruthless person, and he wants to go to Jun Nuochen to ask everything clearly.
When he came to Jun Nuochen, it was late at night, the wind was blowing quietly, and the cries of unknown insects came from time to time in the jungle.
Jun Nuochen didn't sleep, or rather, he was just waiting for someone. He sat in the courtyard, with an incense burner at the table, emitting bursts of fragrance, and he smiled and looked at the elders who were walking towards him.
"Elder, I know you're always coming to me, so I've been waiting for you." Junnuochen's warm voice flows quietly in the night.
"Nuochen, I don't want to believe that you are a person with bad intentions. When did you become another person I was not familiar with? Ye Qian's words were full of sorrow.
"Elder, I've always been like this, and it's not so much that I've changed, but that you may not have known me." Jun Nuochen said, a warm orange light shining from the room behind him.
"Perhaps." Ye Qian closed his eyes in pain, "Whether it's you or Xiao Yao, I have never really understood you. ”
As he spoke, he opened his eyes again and looked at the person in front of him: "But, why?" An Lengyao can't give up the hatred in his heart, so what about you? You've already done it, so why aren't you satisfied? ”
Jun Nuochen pursed his lips and smiled: "Can't you really guess why I did this?" Elder still remembers the snowy night when you and I first met, my sister died tragically, but I was powerless to protect her, and even had to be slaughtered. Those years, I really don't want to have a second time. At that time, I swore in my heart that I would be a superior man in this life and never let others step on my head again. ”
Ye Qian was stunned, he really couldn't imagine that since then, this person had already embarked on a road of no return.
"But I want to thank you, you taught me spells and martial arts, so that I can get to where I am today step by step." Jun Nuochen said softly, stroking the incense burner beside him, and for a while, the aroma became even stronger.
Ye Qian's body trembled, as if he was trying his best to restrain his emotions. After a long time, he spoke: "I still have a few questions to ask you, and today I want to clarify all the things, and I hope you can answer them truthfully." ”
"Of course, how dare I not answer the elder's question?" Jun Nuochen nodded slightly.
"Kiyo is your man? An Lengyao almost fell into the devil and you did it? ”
"Yes."
"You also arranged Yin Qianluo's poisoning to her death?"
"Yes."
"Also, at the original sacrifice ceremony of Yue Xuan, did the fire and Nian Chu's death also have something to do with you?"
"Yes."
"...... you" Ye Qian trembled with anger and glared at the indifferent and calm man, "How many are there that I don't know?" ”
"Elder, don't be so angry, I can explain about the sacrifice. I killed Nian Chu at the beginning, but you also know that this matter started by Lin Chumo, so I just helped him. Jun Nuochen chuckled, "That Young Master Lin is as timid as a mouse, and it is difficult to achieve great things." He originally asked people to sprinkle only a little oil on the ground, so that An Lengyao would be ugly. But I thought, how does this work? So, I helped him add a little more material, and this is how good a show we have. ”
Ye Qian thought that no matter how Jun Nuochen changed, he was the boy he had seen since he was a child. But at this moment, Ye Qian no longer recognized his appearance, maybe all these years of getting along were just a dream, all fake.
The incense burner on the table constantly emitted the aroma, and a thin mist wafted out, obscuring everything.
Suddenly, Ye Qian seemed to have thought of something, and stared at the person opposite: "How long have you been preparing for this game of chess?" An Tiankuo back then, should it also be in your calculations? ”
"The elder is really smart, and he can't hide anything from you." Jun Nuochen pursed his lips and smiled, "He is indeed not an ordinary person, he has skills and ambitions. But the elder must also understand that in the Demon Realm, what everyone values more is family background, otherwise even if they have stunts, they will not have the opportunity to perform them. Therefore, I helped An Tiankuo to take care of a lot of people and things behind my back, so that he could go to the heights step by step. ”
He looked at Ye Qian's angry appearance and continued: "I originally thought that he would fight with Yue Xuan, I could watch the fire from the other side, and by the way, I would take advantage of the fisherman." But unfortunately, Yue Xuan does have a hand. An Tiankuo also found it difficult to bear the heavy responsibility, he adopted An Lengyao at the beginning, originally wanted to cultivate a capable assistant, but he didn't expect to move the father-son affection for this child, treat him as a son, and hold him in his hand to protect ...... It's no wonder that he will lose to Yue Xuan, such an emotional person is indeed not worthy of doing big things. ”
"You ......" Ye Qian slapped the table angrily and pointed to the man he had raised for many years, "I saved you back then, and I wanted to teach you to be a person who cares about the world and punishes evil and promotes good, but I didn't expect ......"
"Elder, don't be angry, be careful of hurting yourself." Jun Nuochen persuaded warmly and handed a cup of tea to Ye Qian.
"Put away your hypocritical face." Ye Qian shook his hand, and the teacup fell to the ground, making a piercing sound of debris, which was still clear in the night. I want him to be proud all his life, but he was deceived by the child who he took in and patiently taught him for half his life!
Seeing this, Jun Nuochen was not annoyed, and still smiled.
"I ask you, what about the more underworld?" Ye Qian asked coldly.
"But the elder wants to see him?" Jun Nuochen smiled, "Don't worry, I'll keep his life." And, right away, you'll be able to meet him. Jun Nuochen said, the smile on his face continued to expand, and in the white mist of the incense burner, it looked evil and enchanting.
Ye Qian was a little puzzled, could it be that Jun Nuochen would be so kind to let him meet Yue Ming? This must be another conspiracy. He was about to ask clearly, when his body suddenly went limp, and he fell to the ground. He tried to condense his internal strength, but found that he couldn't use any of his strength, and his power was lost.
"You ......" Ye Qian looked at Jun Nuochen's smile, glanced at the incense burner on the table again, and instantly understood everything. He was so careless!
"Elder, what's wrong with you?" Jun Nuochen got up from his chair and looked down at Ye Qian, "I was just thinking about when the elder would find out that he had been poisoned, but I didn't expect it to be so soon. However, it has been a long time, because after all, the poison demon powder is different from ordinary poisons, it is highly toxic, and it is colorless and odorless, even if it is slightly added to the incense burner, it will not be noticed. Fortunately, I used True Qi to protect my body in advance, otherwise it would have been dangerous. As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to extinguish the incense burner, and the mist gradually dispersed, leaving only a faint fragrance in the air.
"Jun Nuochen, I didn't expect you to hurt people with a secret arrow!" Ye Lian looked at him with angry red eyes.
"Elder, you can't blame me for this, I'm also forced by the situation." Jun Nuochen half-squatted down and looked at Ye Qian at eye level, "I just rescued my sister from the Nine Secluded Land, and I consumed a lot of mana, how dare I dare to compete with the elders, the only way to do this is to make a decision." ”
"You ......" Ye Qian glared at him angrily, his body trembled slightly due to emotional excitement, but now he has lost all his mana, and he can only be slaughtered by others.
At this time, Jun Nuochen saw that two people were walking towards here not far away, and he smiled lightly, the timing was just right.
"Elder, the person you want to see is here." Jun Nuochen patted Ye Qian's shoulder and stood up.
Ye Qian was stunned, and then saw the black-haired young man walking step by step, and couldn't help but speak: "Yue Ming......"
Yue Ming heard someone calling him, stopped his steps, and looked at the elder not far from him with confused eyes, as if he didn't know who the person in front of him was. Xia Moxuan, who was on the side, saw this situation and smiled slightly, knowing that the matter had been done.
"Big brother, the person you want to bring has been brought." Xia Moxuan walked up to Jun Nuochen and said.
"You...... Who is it? Yue Ming asked Ye Qian
Ye Qian was stunned for a moment and said, "Yue Ming, I am Elder Ye, you ...... Don't recognize me? He thought of the possible fate of thousands of Yue Yin falling into Jun Nuochen's hands, but he didn't expect that this young man would not recognize him.
"I ......" Yue Ming was also at a loss, "I don't remember you, have we met before?" ”
"We ......"
"Ye Qian, when you come to the end, do you still want to demagogue?" Jun Nuochen interrupted Ye Qian, and he turned to Yue Ming and said slowly, "Yue Ming, didn't Mo Xuan tell you something about this place these days?" It's because you've been hurt by him that you lose your memory, that's why you're like that. Now, I have captured him to avenge you. ”
"Jun Nuochen, what did you do to Yue Ming to make him do this?" Ye Qian asked loudly.
Yue Ming stared at the old man on the ground, the confusion in his eyes was not reduced, and he asked, "Is it?" Why can't I remember anything? ”
"It's okay, I'll find a way to remind you that I see you as a brother and won't let you go on like this forever." Jun Nuochen gently patted the other party's shoulder, "Have you forgotten?" We used to talk to each other all the time, and I said that since I see you as a brother, I won't let you be bullied. Now, I have arrested Ye Qian to avenge you. ”
As he spoke, he conjured a sharp dagger and placed it in Yue Ming's hand: "He is your enemy, wouldn't it be better if you killed him with your own hands?" ”
"But......" Yue Ming stared at the knife in his hand, "I, I ......" He looked a little timid, a little hesitant and afraid.
"Don't worry, he was poisoned by the Demon Scatter, if he didn't have the skill of the Demon King to save him, he wouldn't have lived long." Jun Nuochen stared at Yue Ming's face, and a cold light flashed in his eyes, "So, he is extremely weak now, and he won't hurt you." ”
"But ......" Yue Ming looked at the sharp knife in his hand, and then at Ye Qian, but he still couldn't make up his mind.
Jun Nuochen curled his lips and asked gently, "What's wrong?" Could it be that you remembered something, could it be that this Ye Qian was your friend, so even if you were injured by him, you couldn't do it? Or do you think I'm using you for something? Yue Ming, haven't you been here to recuperate these days, and we haven't all taken care of you wholeheartedly, which is enough to prove that we are friends, isn't it? ”
Yue Ming was moved by Jun Nuochen's words, he gritted his teeth, as if he had made up his mind, and walked towards Ye Qian step by step.
Ye Qian looked at the young man who was walking towards him with a sharp knife, and called his name over and over again, trying to wake up Yue Ming, but it was useless after all. Could it be that he is going to die today at the hands of Yue Ming? He was not afraid of death, but ...... Yue Ming is also the boy he has seen since he was a child, and such an ending makes him painful and sad after all.
Yue Ming finally came to him and raised the dagger in his hand......
At this moment, Ye Qian looked at Yue Ming's angry eyes, and suddenly smiled: "Is this the end of my Ye Qian?" Anyway, dying for the demon world, I have no complaints in this life! ”
As soon as the words fell, the blade in Yue Ming's hand stabbed into Ye Qian's heart. In an instant, blood gushed out, as if the whole world was a bright red color.
Ye Qian fell to the ground, his breath was already very weak, he knew that he was about to leave the world, this was his life, the life he thought was proud but failed.
He only remembered the children who had surrounded him and listened to his careful teachings...... Now, An Lengyao has long gone against him, and he is no longer the boy who was silent and strong and had friends in his heart. Yue Ming, no longer the naughty and lively when he was young, left the shelter of Yin Qianluo, he also had to grow up. Even if, in the end, the boy ended his life with a sharp knife, he still didn't blame him.
And one more person...... Junno Chen.
Ye Qian tried his best to look at the gentle young man who was full of smiles not far away, and said softly: "Nuochen, I always remember the scene when I saw you following me, at that time, you were gentle, calm, and approachable...... But when exactly did you change? You say, for so many years, everything that has been there has been a fake, you pretended. But, I believe, the young man in white clothes and gentle temperament in my memory is what you were at the beginning......"
As he spoke, the light in his eyes dimmed, and he closed his eyes.
In fact, at the last moment of life, all grievances and grievances have long ceased to exist. What I remember and think is just those who have given with all my heart and remember it in my heart.
After hearing Ye Qian's words, Jun Nuochen's body trembled violently. He remembered that when he was young, in countless nights when he missed his sister and woke up from crying from his dreams, who lit a lamp, gently comforted him, and stayed awake with him all night...... It's Ye Qian. But he finally calmed down, spoke softly, and the cold words sounded: "Drag the corpse down, enter the magic cave, and live forever without reincarnation." ”
Xia Moxuan was about to execute, but Yue Ming had already condensed a breath of true qi in his right palm, so a purple light suddenly flashed in his right hand. Immediately after, Ye Qian's corpse instantly turned into powder, dissipated into the air, and then landed in the pine forest not far away.
"Yue Ming ......" Xia Moxuan never thought that Yue Ming would make a move.
In the dark night, with a sneer, Yue Ming turned to Xia Moxuan and said, "Isn't he my enemy?" How could it be better if I killed him and left him with a whole corpse, so that his body would have nowhere to return and be scattered between heaven and earth? ”
As he spoke, he took a deep breath: "It's late, I'm going to sleep." Then his figure disappeared into the endless night.
Xia Moxuan saw Yue Ming leaving, glanced at Jun Nuochen again, moved his lips, but did not say a word. Now, no amount of words can make up for anything, everything is a foregone conclusion.
Jun Nuochen was also shocked by Yue Ming's ruthlessness, and then he was relaxed. Since then, there has been one less strong opponent in the world who has cultivated to a high level, which is a good thing.
He stood quietly in the darkness of the sky, black as if to swallow everything.
The evening breeze stirred the placket of his clothes, sending a trace of coolness, and feeling it carefully, and there was some moisture in the wind, like dewdrops, and like someone's tears. Even if it is the demon world where the four seasons are like spring, there will always be four seasons, and the season of white dew has come.
After tonight, it was the beginning of the cold.
Dew from the night white......
