Chapter XIV

"We're not here to do anything unfavorable to the Divine Realm, just to find Lingzhi." Yue Ming explained. He hoped to dispel the man's wariness of them.

"Ganoderma lucidum? Since you want to find Lingzhi, you must go to another dimension, and ordinary people will not know this way. You probably know a little bit about the terrain here. The Demon Realm doesn't have the guts to send just two children, it seems that the two of you are not ordinary, who are you? The man in black spoke sharply.

"We ......" Yue Ming was stunned, and he was a little hesitant to tell his identity truthfully.

An Lengyao, who had been silent for a long time on the side, saw this situation and spoke: "Our identity is not worth mentioning, but we are ordinary people in the demon world. He saw that this person was mysterious and unpredictable, and he showed that his skill was not low in the battle just now. No matter how outstanding their spells were, they were only half-grown children, and their abilities were always limited. If they fought again, the two of them would not be able to defeat him. Besides, the gods and demons are already on the opposite side, and this person is suspicious of them, and it is nothing that his own identity is exposed, but Yue Ming's identity is really special, and it is best not to reveal it easily.

The man in black looked at An Lengyao, and suddenly snorted coldly: "Although you are young, you are thoughtful, but why do you think that if you don't say it, I will have nothing?" ”

As he spoke, he turned his gaze to Yue Ming: "Among the Six Realms, Yue Xuan's reputation is like thunder, and his son must not be underestimated. You have now come to the Divine Realm to find Lingzhi for the safety of the Demon Realm, which is a manifestation of your courage. I just don't know if the two of you will be able to complete the mission successfully. ”

When Leng Yao heard this, he showed a surprised expression at the same time. They obviously didn't say anything, but how did the person in front of them know?

"Because I can read minds, no one in the Six Realms can pass my mind reading skills. So, all the things that are hidden in your hearts, I know. The man in black said.

Yue Ming seemed to think of something, and hurriedly asked, "Are you the 'Divine Illusion'?" He had heard his mother, Yin Qianluo, tell him that there are two kinds of people in the divine realm who have the most unpredictable potential, one is the "blood sacrifice", and the blood of this kind of person has infinite energy. There is also the "illusion of the gods", this type of person has the innate ability to read minds and intuit people's hearts.

The man in black smiled slightly: "I know a lot." So, do you think it's possible to pass through here if you meet me today? ”

"I know that you are very powerful, and I will not be your opponent at all on my own. However, for the sake of the Demon Realm, I will not back down. Unless you kill me, I won't give up on anything. "Yue Ming has no fear.

"I'm not going to give up." An Lengyao's eyes flashed with stubbornness, and he wanted to advance and retreat together with Yue Ming.

The man in black was slightly stunned, he had never seen such two children, even if they were in a difficult situation, they did not give up and were not afraid. Perhaps because he has been good at reading minds since he was a child, he can see the nature of both humans and gods and demons very thoroughly. No matter what kind of power and status they have, in the end, their nature is greedy for life and afraid of death. It's just that these two children have a different experience for him.

He thought for a moment and said, "With my mana, it is indeed as easy to kill you as a backhand. It's just that I don't want to kill unless I have to. Now that you know who I am, I guess you also know a spell I possess in addition to mind reading. ”

"It's about creating illusions." An Lengyao said lightly.

The man in black nodded: "Yes, but it's not quite. Although they are illusory images, they are often the most real scenes that people are most unwilling or afraid to face. And these scenarios have happened before, or will happen in the future. If the two of you can successfully crack the illusion I have planted, I'll let you go, what? ”

"Well, don't break your promise." Yue Ming replied.

"I won't break my promise, but whether you can pass it or not depends on your ability." The man in black spoke, a faint white light emanating from his body. Then the white light surrounded the two boys, enveloping them in an instant.

An Lengyao felt like he was lying on top of cotton, and his whole body was soft. The white light in front of his eyes became more and more dazzling, and he couldn't help but close his eyes. After a while, he felt the light dissipate, and slowly opened his eyes.

At this moment, he is outside a gorgeous house. The house has a European architectural style, with milky white walls and a beautiful garden.

This place, he couldn't be more familiar. All his memories until he was four years old were in this house. At that time, he loved his father, and although he knew that the man in front of him was not his real father, the love that that person gave him was so sincere.

Don't think that children's memories are short-lived, in the countless moonlit nights of An Tiankuo's death, An Lengyao dreamed of the past countless times. In the dream, I was so happy and happy, and I was spoiled by my father. What people are most afraid of is not that they have not received care and care from their relatives, but that they are afraid that when you are still intoxicated with this warmth, you will suddenly lose it. In a blink of an eye, he became a person who was under the fence and tasted the warmth and coldness. Every time he dreams back at midnight, An Lengyao can hardly sleep, often sitting alone by the window, looking out at the vast night in the moonlight until dawn.

And he didn't tell anyone, including Yue Ming. Some pain, even if it is said, will not change in the slightest.

He looked at these familiar scenes, and there was a pantothenic acid in his eyes. But he blinked, and in the end he didn't drop a drop of his eyes.

Suddenly, the door was pushed open, and a tall man walked out with a little boy in his arms. An Lengyao was startled, and hurriedly dodged to find a place to hide, but only then did he realize that his body was transparent, and it was impossible for others to see him, so he was relieved.

The man took the little boy in his arms and sat on the swing in the garden, and put the boy from his arms and into the seat.

"Dad, I want to learn spells." The little boy said in a crisp childlike voice.

The man was slightly stunned, then looked at the boy with a smile and asked, "Why?" Isn't Xiao Yao afraid of hard work? Learning spells is hard work. ”

The boy shook his head and said stubbornly, "No, I'm not afraid. I've often heard the attendants who take care of me say that my father's spells are very powerful, and that no one in the demon world can beat you, and I want to be like that. ”

The man touched the little boy's hair and said, "Of course it's good to have this kind of self-motivation, but you're only three years old now, and I'll teach you myself when you're older, okay?" ”

"Don't." The little boy suddenly angrily dodged his father's hand on his head, "Dad doesn't always say that the age division between demons and humans is different, humans are still very weak and weak when they are three years old, but people in the demon world are already considered to be responsible boys at the age of three." But now that my father says this, isn't he questioning my ability? ”

The man couldn't help but laugh when he heard this. He thought for a moment and said to his son, "Okay, I promise you." Is this good, Dad has to deal with some things these days, and in ten days, I'll teach you spells in person, okay? ”

The boy smiled with satisfaction, hugged his father's arm, and said happily, "Dad is the best for me." ”

The man couldn't help but smile lightly and held the boy in his arms, this happy and warm picture seemed to be frozen here, and it would not change for thousands of years.

An Lengyao stared at the scenery in front of him, and after a long time, he realized that his face was cold. He touched his wet cheeks, and his heart was full of sorrow. He looked at the little boy in the picture, who was himself when he was three years old. The man next to him was his adoptive father, An Tiankuo.

An Lengyao thought that after getting his father's promise, he would never have thought that the promise would not be fulfilled at all, because ten days later, he and his relatives would be separated forever.

Suddenly, the scene turned, and An Lengyao was in a prison cell, his ears filled with the sound of crying.

"Dad, why are you locked up here, I'm going to get you out." Little An Lengyao stood outside the cell door, crying.

An Tiankuo stood in the cell, his figure faintly tired and haggard, but his eyes still flashed with arrogance and uncompromise, but only when he looked at the little boy outside the door, all the light turned into his father's tenderness.

"Xiao Yao, Dad did something and failed, so he was locked up here." An Tiankuo stretched out his hand from the crack in the door and wiped the little boy's tears, "Xiaoyao, I'm sorry, forgive Dad for not being able to teach you spells." As he spoke, his eyes moistened.

"Why can't it be taught? Dad can still come out again, right? The boy asked, not believing that he would never see his father again, "If you fail, you can have a chance to do it again." Didn't my dad tell me that as long as I kept at it, I would always succeed. ”

"Xiaoyao, you don't understand, not everything has a way out, and there is a chance to start over." An Tiankuo said softly. At this moment, he only has this child in his eyes, and he is not worried about him and is reluctant to leave him.

The little boy listened to his father's words, and seemed to understand something, but he didn't care about anything else, and hurriedly asked, "Dad, you can still come out of this terrible place, can't you?" ”

When the man heard this, his body trembled slightly, and he hugged his child with his hand, as if he was restraining his emotions. After a while, he removed his hand and said, "Yes, I'll be out soon." But in the days when I'm away, you have to learn to take care of yourself, and from now on, you have to learn to face everything by yourself, and not rely on the person who takes care of you on weekdays, and you don't rely on your father, right? ”

"No, I want my dad to take care of it." The little boy suddenly had an inexplicable fear in his heart, why did his father tell him like this? Isn't Dad coming back?

"Xiao Yao, in life, no one can be by your side for a lifetime. After all, people have to rely on themselves to live. An Tiankuo said, but there was a slight tremor between the words.

"No, Dad will be by my side for a lifetime, you said before, he will be by my side for a lifetime!" An Lengyao cried.

"An Lengyao, you have to listen to me and learn to face everything by yourself, understand? Otherwise, if you don't listen to me, I will be angry and will ignore you anymore. An Tiankuo put on a serious look.

The little boy stopped crying, and while he hurriedly wiped his tears, he said, "Well, I'll listen to you." Don't be angry with me, don't ignore me. ”

"Yes, this is the obedient Xiao Yao." An Tiankuo patted his head with his hand through the gap, but the grief in his heart was incomprehensible, how could he be angry with him and ignore him?

Suddenly, there was a chaotic sound of footsteps, and five or six demon soldiers appeared outside An Tiankuo's cell.

"Lord An, it's time. We're taking your son with us. The leading demon soldier said.

An Tiankuo closed his eyes and pursed his dry lips, finally at this moment.

"Take it away. Also, thank you Yue Xuan for me. He opened his eyes and said that he was grateful to the man for giving him a chance to see An Lengyao again.
