The sound of my footsteps echoed through the long corridor in the basement.

It sounds a little lonely and uneasy.

Lonely because I don't know who else has the same thoughts as me in this world that has gone through vicissitudes and history?

The uneasiness is that a decision that cannot be completed outside of one's ability can turn into a ridiculous joke if you are not careful, at least I don't want to have such an outcome.

What's more, I am walking in the corridor of the basement at this moment, but the actual situation is like walking alone on a steel cable, and falling down is an abyss, which means that the Huo Nie family not only has to face almost 'feud' monsters in this era, but also offends all the demon hunters in the land of China in this world.

The lighting on the cloister is a beautiful copper lamp, with a completely retro gallery decoration, which looks antique, and I am wearing a modern formal attire, but it is a little out of place.

If it weren't for me to make such an 'earth-shattering' event for the Huo Nie family, I'm afraid Lan Xuan wouldn't, at least not open the door of this basement for a short time, and would continue to hide from me here.

"There's no need to open it, at least it's not time now, and this is also the last retreat for my Huo Nie family." That's how Lan Xuan explained it to me.

But why is it the last retreat, Lan Xuan didn't tell me clearly, maybe Lan Xuan would also be worried that I misunderstood, she added: "Zhengling, I don't want you to know this retreat, because I'm afraid that you will lose a little motivation." ”

Of course I understand Lan Xuan's mood, originally I didn't have such a strong 'purpose' as Emperor Tong, and the things that belonged to Nie Yan in my heart had not been resurrected, if there was a relatively safe way out for me to know, Lan Xuan would not dare to 'bet' on this result.

The sound of footsteps continued to echo through the corridor, and even though this basement had been opened, the only area that could move was this corridor, plus a hall somewhere in the corridor.

This is something that Lan Xuan has reminded me repeatedly, and it is also a warning to every 'guest' here, but Lan Xuan doesn't think the place she chose is too far away? I walked under this corridor for five minutes, and I still didn't see the so-called open door.

"Only behind the open door is the hall of the party." This is also something that Lan Xuan has repeatedly reminded me.

I've been too depressed to walk through this corridor.

And finally, with this step, I saw the open door at the end of a corner of the corridor, and at the same time saw a figure less than ten meters in front of me, which was very harmonious with the ancient style here.

At this moment, he was lazily leaning against the wall of the corridor, and what kept turning in his hand was a long bamboo flute.

This time, it was a cyan Hanfu, if the ancient corridor on the ground was the back of a painting, he should be the perfect person in the painting, this person was Emperor Tong.

After a battle of life and death, inexplicable tacit understanding, my feelings for Emperor Tong have already become complicated, this complexity can't be said, but it's not really a feeling of annoyance at all, not close, but it's not close, according to the most natural reaction, I looked at him and just smiled slightly, and greeted him.

But Emperor Tong didn't seem to feel anything, he still had a haughty demeanor, squinted his eyes and 'glanced' at me, but the words that came out of his mouth were: "When you don't laugh, you don't seem so annoying." ”

As we spoke, we naturally walked side by side, and I didn't pay attention to his ridicule, but said with a slight ridicule: "Ladies and gentlemen, what is the matter with such a big gathering, not staying in the hall, but standing in the corridor?" Could it be that it is also stage fright? ”

Emperor Tong's face was expressionless, and his voice was cold: "They are also worthy?" ”

What do they deserve to be in the same hall with him? Or do they also deserve to let Emperor Tong have stage fright? I didn't delve into this sentence, I have long been accustomed to the style of Emperor Tong, so I just smiled faintly, I didn't care too much, I just changed a relatively solemn tone and said: "Two choices, one is to cooperate with me, and the second is to watch the play, which one do you choose?" ”

"I'm waiting for you in the corridor, just for this question, to confirm it. Now it seems that it is not necessary. Emperor Tong didn't give me a positive answer, but said something inexplicable.

I stopped and looked at Emperor Tong, could it be that he already understood?

But he still asked, "What do you want to prove?" ”

The bamboo flute in Emperor Tong's hand turned slightly, but a mocking look appeared in his eyes, and he looked at me with his chin high: "Ye Zhengling, do you really have such a naïve idea, you want to twist the demon hunter who has long become a plate of loose sand into a rope, right?" ”

As he spoke, his sword eyebrows raised slightly, and then he looked at me with an exaggerated look of sympathy, and said, "Then Ye Zhengling, I will really laugh at you." ”

"Well, laugh at me, there's more to it than that." Since it was so funny, I simply put on a smile again.

"As I said, it's more annoying for you to laugh than not to laugh." Emperor Tong frowned, obviously he didn't understand, my thoughts are more than that, so what else to do?

It's just that this is already shocking to me, what am I going to do? It turned out to be Emperor Tong who guessed a few points.

As I spoke, the door of the hole was getting closer and closer, and I had no intention of saying anything to Emperor Tong anymore, but my heart was beating faster and faster, and a different feeling of blood boiling burned in my heart.

"Ye Zhengling, I think I need to remind you of something. From ancient times to the present, no one person has been able to twist all the demon hunters into a rope. Even if Huo Nie and Shui Tong are so famous, they have only received a little bit of awe from the demon hunters in the world, and apart from Huo Nie Shui Tong, this thousands of years of history, how can there be more than a stunning demon hunter? Even those who have a great reputation among the people can't do this. I was silent, but the Tong Emperor whispered in my ear.

"Why?" I just asked casually, Chen Chengyi's words seemed to be rooted in my heart, do what I want to do, and other people's words will not shake my decision.

"First of all, it's not just a circle of demon hunters, you know? None of the demon hunters are self-taught geniuses, and they all have their own mentorship. And this mentorship includes Taoism, Buddhism, witchcraft, etc., etc., and the reasons for hunting demons are also different. They represent not only their own positions, but even the positions of their teachers behind them. If you think about it, it is a Taoist, and there are as many branches as there are, not to mention, the teacher of the demon hunter spans almost all the cultivator realms. And not limited to Huaxia, are you crazy? "Emperor Tong looked at me, and when he said the last sentence, he really looked at me with the eyes of a madman.

"Times are different." I know the truth of what Emperor Tong said.

But what I'm saying isn't the truth? And in this day and age, do we have a choice? When a group of people fall asleep, one of them must wake up first, right?

After saying this, I continued to move forward, and Emperor Tong said next to me: "Ye Zhengling, this reason is not enough to convince me. For this reason, not only can I not cooperate, but I don't even have the heart to see you make a fool of yourself. ”

"I'm serious." While speaking, Emperor Tong had already stopped, he was not joking.

And I had to stop, if I had any plans in mind, Emperor Tong was an extremely important part of it, so I looked at Emperor Tong and said seriously: "Emperor Tong, I'm afraid you misunderstood what I meant." The times are different, it doesn't mean that there is a tendency to recreate chaos in this era, you ignore one point. That is, the inheritance of demon hunters is at least inherited from the Ming Dynasty, their initial beginning, the shadow of the master may have already faded away, and the only thing left is the first generation of demon hunters, just like Nie Yan of the Huo Nie family and the child emperor of the Shui Tong family. ”

Emperor Tong narrowed his eyes, it had never been too difficult to talk to smart people.

"And then go into chaos, that's the prerequisite." I added.

Emperor Tong was noncommittal, but the footsteps were already moving forward, and I knew that Emperor Tong had made his choice.

But the words have already come to this point, I might as well continue to spread out a little, I said as I walked forward: "And Emperor Tong, you must know that I just said that my thoughts are more than that. ”

"What do you mean?" Before Emperor Tong could speak, he suddenly stopped, and said with an almost irrepressible exclamation: "Ye Zhengling, you really want to go crazy, right?" ”

"Yes, crazy! However, it's not enough for me to be crazy alone, I have to add you. As for who can go further in the future, it's a question between me and you, and I don't think it's too complicated. But I said it indifferently.

And this sentence seemed to touch one of the most sensitive nerves of Emperor Tong, he suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed me, and said very solemnly: "You have forgotten, the problem between me and you is not only now, it has already lasted for thousands of years. ”

"I really forgot about it." I was helpless, he remembered thousands of years ago, but I don't remember it.

"Huh." Emperor Tong's smile became a little cold.

But the door was already in front of me, and before I stepped inside, I whispered, "If you're interested, come in." ”

As I spoke, I had already stepped through the door.
