Chapter 482: Gifts
I still don't feel at ease to let Huang Ping go alone, since the Witch Gu King has begun to make waves, and those who try to get in touch with the secrets of the Skeleton Qilin have all died, and now that the enemy is dark and I am clear, maybe our every move is being monitored.

After going down the mountain, I decided to go with Huang Ping, and the others stayed in the village, with the protection of the golden silkworm, the general Yin Witch would not dare to act rashly, and Tian Ji also planned to go with me, after all, the place I was going to was the Altar of the Hidden Capital, and I had to face the Witch Gu King who was in control of the forbidden Gu, and I couldn't be unprepared with my bare hands.
Huang Ping said that he could find a way to help Tian Ji get a batch of arms and explosives, and I told Ye Jiuqing and the rest of the people to stay in the Holy Building until we came back.
Without further ado, I rushed back with Tian Ji and Huang Ping, Huang Ping handed over the placer to his friend, helped identify and analyze, and made an appointment to meet in the teahouse at the entrance of the antique street a day later, everything seemed to be going well, anxiously waiting for a day, Huang Ping because he wanted to take Tian Ji to get guns and ammunition, so let me go to the teahouse to wait.
I went up to the second floor and chose a place facing the street by the window, looking out the window full of willow catkins like snow, one after another was quite melancholy, suddenly smelled the rich aroma of wine, refreshing but diluted the sorrow, the aroma of wine was so familiar, so that I didn't have to look back to know who the person serving the wine was.
Zhuo Mingfeng sat next to me, still holding his wine jug in his hand, looking out the window without saying a word, and sitting opposite was Xie Tianhui, who was actually wearing a very neat dress, and he couldn't see his ruffian between his eyebrows, and he also tilted his head and stared outside.
"How long has it been since you've been here?" I was not shocked, but calm, I don't know when it started, I could feel relaxed and natural in front of them, at least I didn't feel guilty for hiding it.
Xie Tianhui raised his fingers, bent and stretched awkwardly, and repeated for a long time before looking at Xie Tianhui: "I don't remember, what about you?" ā
"It's because I have a good memory that I drink." Zhuo Mingfeng smiled faintly, raised his head and took another sip. "I can't remember ...... either"
I couldn't help but laugh, glad I didn't have the same troubles as theirs, after all, after living for so long, it should be very painful to remember everything, but the funny thing is that they try to forget the past, and I do everything to get the past back.
"Since the process is more important than the result, you are not so kind and tell me where the temple is, so why are you still here?" I poured myself a cup of tea and asked with a smile.
"The temple is the beginning and the end of everything, the truth you want is all in the temple, and we are back to complete the final mission." Xie Tianhui replied calmly.
"The end? Could it all end in the Temple?! "I was suddenly a little excited, and to be honest, I was tired of this endless chase.
The two of them nodded in unison.
But I quickly realized that I seemed to have misunderstood: "But, the Nine Dragons Boat of the Moon Palace has not been found, the missing artifact is also missing, and the mission of the Twelve Generals has not been completed at all, this, how can this end?" ā
They were silent again, and I knew that I didn't want to ask anything out of their mouths now, and that I might as well just sit quietly with them for a while than to be bored.
"Why don't you get rid of the Witch King?" I still couldn't hold back, and asked curiously.
"Why get rid of him?" Xie Tianhui asked with a smile.
"Why don't you get rid of such a person when he keeps a witch without permission, and he rebels against the ancestral gods, and he defiles the gods under the pretense of a divine will?"
Xie Tianhui suddenly shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It's not that we don't want to get rid of the Witch Gu King. ā
"What's the reason for him to stay alive?"
Zhuo Mingfeng and Xie Tianhui looked at me almost at the same time, and the two of them laughed helplessly: "We asked you the same way back then. ā
...... "I was stunned, but I quickly reacted." Yes, it's me who won't let you kill the Witch Gu King?! ā
"You are the eye of the earth, the leader of the twelve gods, your decision will not be disobeyed by anyone, we tried our best to get rid of the witch king, in fact, killing him was just a gesture, and you just left him alive." Xie Tianhui said.
"Why?" I was taken aback.
"Have you ever wondered why the ancestral god gave the witch to the Witch Gu King?" Zhuo Mingfeng asked seriously.
I frowned, I really didn't think about the whole thing, listening to Zhuo Mingfeng say this, I suddenly realized that there seemed to be something strange about this matter, the witch was created by the ancestral god, of course, it can be easily destroyed, but it has to be handed over to a priest.
Moreover, the ancestral god and the people on the Nine Dragons Boat of the Moon Palace, although they both have the ability to create living things, but in this regard, they all choose to keep it a secret, and the ancestral god will definitely not hand over a witch to a priest.
"Could it be that the ancestral god has another purpose in doing this?"
"The witches created in the temple, no matter how strong their abilities are, they don't have a long lifespan except for the golden silkworms, so they don't need to destroy these witches at all, as long as they leave the ancestral gods, it won't be long before these witches die." Xie Tianhui said to me unhurriedly.
The more I listened, the more confused I became, and I couldn't figure out the reason why the ancestral god handed over the witch to the priest, after Zhuo Mingfeng took a sip, he calmly told me that the witch Gu King was just a priest at the beginning, and he could get in touch with the ancestral god in the temple, and at the same time, he could also witness everything the ancestral god did.
But human nature is greedy, even in the humble believer, the greater the power he sees, the greater the desire, from the first piety to greedy covetousness, but he finally forgot that he coveted God, that should not be the ability that mortals should have, and he also underestimated the divine power of God.
The ancestral god can easily read the thoughts and consciousness of mortals, and everything he thinks is already clear to the gods.
"If that's the case, then why give him the witch?" I was even more at a loss.
"God is merciful, at least for him, God has given enough mercy to give him the witch, in fact, he is allowed to redeem himself, and it is up to him to decide whether good or evil lives or dies."
Zhuo Mingfeng's expression revealed the cold arrogance that I was familiar with, perhaps seeing my astonishment, he smiled faintly and continued to say to me, the priest thought that he could master the witch, but he didn't know that he didn't have such ability at all, if he destroyed the witch according to God's instructions, then he was still a respected priest, and everything was fine.
"Leave the witch to him, since the gift is also a punishment, if he chooses to keep the witch, he is doomed to be doomed, and from the moment he chooses to betray, he will be forever tormented and tormented." Xie Tianhui smiled disappreciatively. "Sometimes being alive is the most painful punishment, and you should be able to meet the Witch King soon, and then you will understand why you didn't let us get rid of him in the first place."
"I obviously know that this person's heart is not right, it was not a hundred to kill it at the beginning, and later became the Witch Gu King, killing so many people, in the final analysis, it was the ancestral god who did not make a decision immediately." I voiced some regret.
Xie Tianhui and Zhuo Mingfeng looked at each other and smiled, the expressions of the two seemed to be very helpless, Zhuo Mingfeng poured the tea in front of me, and casually poured a glass of wine: "Compassion is not suitable for you, and the pure heart and lack of desire of this tea are even more unsuitable for you." ā
"So what's right for me?"
"Do you think you know the righteousness and are loyal to the liver and courage? Do you think the perception is real right now? Do you think you can tell the difference between right and wrong, good and evil? Xie Tianhui looked at me and said meaningfully. No, you can't even tell the truth from the fake, so what's the matter. ā
Zhuo Mingfeng suddenly flipped my hand open, pointed to it and said, "When you remember everything, you will know how much blood is on these hands." ā
I was stunned and subconsciously looked at my hands, I didn't dare to ask, I was suddenly afraid to know the answer, afraid to know my past and past.
I wanted to choose to escape, I never thought that I would rather not know anything like this now, but Zhuo Mingfeng held my hand tightly, and his voice became much heavier: "Since the Western Jin Dynasty, the twelve generals have been in power to control the world, in order to track down the Nine Dragons of the Moon Palace, even we can't remember how many people we killed, and these orders were all issued by you, you can't remember these." ā
I pulled out my hand in a panic, feeling a little confused and contradictory in my thoughts, I desperately wanted to remember everything, but I was afraid that when the day came, I would not be able to face myself again.
"I admit that I am the eye of the earth, we have all lived for thousands of years, and the ancestral god has been chasing the Nine Dragons of the Moon Palace for thousands of years, from ancient times to the present, for such a long time, how much hatred can not be resolved, can't we coexist peacefully without incident?" I sighed and said weakly.
Zhuo Mingfeng and Xie Tianhui smiled again, and I couldn't understand that smile at all, until Xie Tianhui's smile froze on his face and looked directly at me with a stern gaze.
"You should have seen the shattered illusion, you should have seen the attack of the army of the gods, the gods launched a conquest, what you saw was only the last scene, what you didn't see was the tragedy of the river of blood, it was the war of the gods, countless gods were slaughtered by the army of the gods, do you think this hatred can be resolved in time?"
"If it's really like you said, you can put it down......" Zhuo Mingfeng pointed to my chest. When Ling Xuan saw you, he would not do anything to kill you, this has nothing to do with time, let alone thousands of years, even if it is long, it will not be able to calm the resentment of those people. ā
"Without peace, at least between the ancestral gods and the Nine Dragons of the Moon Palace, there can never be peace, the only thing left is hatred, and you will never get the result you want." Xie Tianhui took a deep breath and said to me. "That's why we're here to meet you, and since you're about to find the temple, there's something I should tell you."
