Chapter 43: The Dream of Eternal Life
"Hmph, crying, crying, annoying. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info "Tian Zanghou opened his mouth again, and the demon wind drifted with a strange aroma, and Tian Rongrong fainted again.
"Annoyed?" Mu Fei looked at Tian Zanghou defiantly.
Tian Zanghou looked at him coldly and sneered: "I saw that you seemed to be honest before, but it turned out that you were also a person with sharp teeth and only good words. ”
Mu Fei shook his head and said, "No, I'm just telling the truth." ”
"Good to tell the truth." Tian Zanghou was silent, and after a while, he suddenly smiled: "What you said just now that seems to be righteous and awe-inspiring is half right, I am indeed greedy for life and afraid of death." ”
"What kind of family Heavenly Dao inheritance, to be honest, I don't care at all."
Changsheng frowned when he heard this, and interrupted him: "Zanghou, what are you telling him to do this?" ”
"All my life as a human being, I've always been pretending to be and finally trying to tell the truth." Tian Zanghou waved his hand, pointed at himself and asked Mu Fei: "Do you know how old the old man is this year?" ”
Mu Fei frowned when he heard this, and he didn't understand what Tian Zanghou meant by saying this, but he still replied: "You claim to be 17 cultivators of the Heavenly Dao, and you have been 79 years old and 96 years old. ”
"Not bad! 96! Tian Zanghou's voice was full of old sighs, "The Heavenly Dao is ruthless, my cultivation is only in the Three Talents Realm so far, and it is 108,000 miles away from the rumored Nine Palace Realm that can be at ease and live with heaven and earth, and it is impossible to achieve it in this life." ”
There was a slight hint of self-deprecation in his cloudy eyes, and he continued: "Seeing that Changsheng is also getting old day by day, I know that my limit is not far away, and this life is like this. You know, if it weren't for the earthquake half a month ago, I wouldn't have taken the risk and embarked on this road. ”
Tian Zanghou's voice gradually became ethereal: "That night, I was sitting in the ancestral hall, and suddenly I felt a call from the depths of the earth, just like the feeling I felt when I felt immortality. I opened the entrance to the stele by mistake, and went into the underground where no one had been since the death of the previous head of the family, and saw this sword-"
His expression suddenly became fanatical, and he pointed to the ancient sword and said: "--This spirit sword has been inserted on this high platform for thousands of years, and I secretly tried to pull it out when I was young, but this sword seems to have taken root, and it can't be pulled out at all with human strength!" And that night, a crack appeared in the ground around the sword, and a voice in my heart said to me, 'Come, break this seal, and I will give you eternal life.'" ”
Mu Fei sighed: "So, you were bewitched by this monster and killed the five women around you in order to let it out?" ”
"Bewitched? No, it's just what I really thought in my heart, and I knew from the beginning that what I was doing was not tolerated, but so what? As long as I can live forever, what does it matter to me whether these people live or die? ”
Tian Zanghou's face was not shocked, as if he was telling a story that had nothing to do with him, and pointed to the five blood-drenched headless female corpses: "As long as I can live, even if I kill another fifty or five hundred such women, I will not hesitate at all!" What's more, only nine people need to be killed? According to what the enlightened beast said, I will lay down this Big Dipper Nine Star Killing Array, and when the time is ripe, this great array will be opened, and when the enlightened beast will get out of trouble, I will gain true eternal life! ”
Mu Fei listened to his words and shook his head slightly: "Even if you are immortal, so what?" ”
Seeing this, Tian Zanghou said: "You are too young, you won't understand, people are very afraid of death when they are old, and they know the existence of immortality, but until my skin is dry and my body is aging, the dream of immortality is still as far away as a mirror, and I can clearly feel the vitality slowly disappearing in my body every night!" How do you understand this kind of pain that can only wait for death? Especially for cultivators like me, we are countless times stronger than ordinary people, and we can easily obtain most of the things they want by using our own strength, but we still have to go through birth, old age, sickness and death just like ordinary people! For me, this is unbearable! ”
The hall echoed with Tian Zanghou's shouts, and the air was extremely quiet for a while.
"I have a friend who is a powerful Heavenly Dao cultivator." Mu Fei thought for a long time and said: "If he wants, he can easily get a large amount of money, but he has never relied on that power to seek ill-gotten gains, but lives on the ground, although he is often hungry and unable to eat, and has no money to pay rent, and is often in danger of sleeping on the streets...... But that way of living is worthy of my heart, and I really admire him. ”
"Stupid." Tian Zanghou scoffed at Mu Fei's words and shook his head disdainfully.
Mu Fei was unmoved, looked at him quietly and continued: "I have been able to see unjust ghosts since I was sensible, and at that time I vaguely understood that people would die. When I was seven years old, my father died in front of me in an accident to save me, and it was then that I realized the true meaning of death. ”
"I was living in seclusion until I met that friend of mine. You should know, there were still a lot of monsters in Akiyama City at that time, but my innate strength was very strong, don't look at me now, I haven't even reached the realm of one qi, at that time, my strength is not my opponent even if the one hundred and fifteen monsters combined, and no monster or ghost dares to take the initiative to provoke me, because those who dare to provoke me have been killed by me. At that time, I was just like you now, as long as I lived, and I would kill everything that threatened me. ”
"Later, by chance, I learned that my father's death was not an accident, but was calculated by those monsters. At that time, I was so angry that I went directly to Jinguang Mountain, wanting to kill all those monsters. ”
"But I didn't know at the time that pure power was not all, and it was calculated by the seven great monsters of the Heavenly Demon Realm. If he hadn't come to save me, I would have died. ”
Mu Fei's eyelids drooped and he smiled: "But that time was really dangerous, in the end, I exhausted all the strength of my body to kill all the monsters, and I was also broken, not only did my innate power disappear, but I couldn't even practice anymore...... My friend always thought that I didn't know my physical condition, and kept hiding from me that he wanted me to feel at ease, and it was really hard for him. ”
"You did that incident three years ago!" Tian Zanghou looked at the ordinary young man in front of him in disbelief, and did not speak for a long time.
"Yes, I've always been very well hidden, maybe I was born, I've always been good at pretending to be stupid, and no one has ever noticed my abnormality." Mu Fei said leisurely: "After losing my strength, I am very afraid of seeing the ghosts again, not only because I am no longer able to protect myself, but also because I know that they have no connection with their lives, and will only exist in the world in a muddy way, and finally disappear." What's even more terrifying is that some people, like my father, don't even have a ghost after death, and really disappear. At that time, I was very afraid of death, and one night, I kept thinking about the question of death, will I also become a ghost after I die? Or, like my father, really disappeared? Could the legendary Heaven and Hell really exist? Could it be that those unjust ghosts have gone to places I don't know, rather than completely annihilated in this world? Why can't I live forever? The more I thought about it, the more scared I became, and I couldn't help but cry. That's when my mother came and hugged me and said to me, 'Everybody is going to die, no matter who it is.'" But everyone will always have all kinds of things to do when they are alive, just like when Dad died to protect Mu Fei, so everyone is desperately living, just to be able to leave no regrets when they die. My mother is just an ordinary person, but I think she is right, people may not be able to live and understand when they are alive, so why should they ask for anything to live forever? ”
"Later, I started practicing with my friends, and in the past three years, I have lived a very happy life, I have never worried about death anymore, and I can do my best to live every day now, and I am no longer like I was three years ago, looking at everything around me every day."
Tian Zanghou was silent for a long time after listening.
"Old man, it's too late to turn back." Mu Fei said sincerely. "As long as you are willing to commit suicide to thank the world, Tian Rongrong will forgive you."
"Hahahahaha." Tian Zanghou laughed angrily when he heard this, "Suicide? You doll is really dark enough, I thought you would say that you would let me let you go, and no longer complete this Big Dipper Nine Star Killing Array, and actually want me to kill myself! ”
Mu Fei looked at him and said lightly, "I'm just telling the truth." With the evil you have committed, how can you let these five poor women rest in peace without dying? ”
"Full of nonsense!" Tian Zanghou roared, "You are now the fish on my board, and you dare to play tricks with me when you are dying?" There are still four eyes left in the Big Dipper Killing Array, and the four of you are just right! ”
He suddenly pounced, pressed Mu Fei to the ground, and bit Mu Fei's arm, the moment the flesh entered his throat, Tian Zanghou let go of his mouth incredibly, and said in a trembling voice: "This, this, this feeling!" What the hell are you! ”
Tian Zanghou looked at Mu Fei in shock, with a look of ecstasy on his face!
Just now, he only bit Mu Fei's arm slightly, and the flesh and blood at the entrance actually gave him a feeling of being reborn, like an initiation, and the true qi and demonic qi in his body began to flow wildly irrepressibly, and he actually faintly felt that he was going to advance to the realm.
He had experienced this feeling three times in his life, the first time was when he was 17 years old when he sensed the sword spirit and entered the One Qi Realm, the second time was when he had been practicing penance for ten years and ascended from the One Qi Realm to the Two Yi Realm, and the third time was when he finally entered the Three Talents Realm at the age of 50.
"As I said, those youkai wanted to eat me." Mu Fei smiled bitterly, and pressed the wound on his left hand with his right hand, "Actually, the demons and demons I met are all eager to eat me raw, because my physique is very strange, and for them, I am an elixir-like existence, which is determined by their nature." Now that you've fallen into the Demon Path, it seems that you have this nature. ”
"Hahaha, there is such a good thing!" Tian Zanghou laughed wildly, and a beast's roar came out of his mouth, "God help me, I feel that as long as I eat you, I can immediately ascend to the realm of heavenly demons!" Then I am truly immortal! Hey? What is it? ”
Tian Zanghou looked at Mu Fei in shock again, the wound on his left hand was emitting a bright silver light, and the wound was healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Different from the silver glow of his sword spirit, the strange light at Mu Fei's wound was full of life, like the divine light when all things were born!
"Coincidentally, just like the time when you fell into the demon path, in the earthquake half a month ago, I accidentally found that I didn't completely lose my former strength, this power has been slowly reviving in my body, although I am still very weak, but I am not as you said on the board, there is no power to resist at all."
Mu Fei clenched his hands into fists, and his fists were wrapped in a faint layer of bright silver light.
"Come on, the power that has killed the seven Heavenly Demon Realm Great Demons will let you see."
