Chapter 57: The Ancestral Island (Part II)
I knew very well that this was an illusion, to be exact, this long knife had gone through countless battles, and the accumulated aura had a mental impact on me.
It's hard to imagine how tragic it must be to have such an aura, which makes me know that it is the illusion of the battle it has experienced, and it also makes me tremble all over, drenched in cold sweat, and the hand holding its hilt can barely grasp its hilt.
Because the atmosphere of that battlefield is too real, because the aura of those ancient demon beasts is too powerful, people can't feel illusory at all, just like those demon beasts really exist.
The overwhelming fierce demon beasts, there is no doubt that each of them has the strength far beyond the demon of the shapeshift, they are clearly unscrupulously releasing the demon form in battle, no matter how carefully such a demon beast feels, each one is stronger than the big demon I don't know how much.
It's far beyond the limits of what I can handle.
A voice in my heart told me that if I let go of the handle, the hallucination would disappear.
At this moment, a white-fronted tiger, with a length of about 10 meters, unusually rushed out of the seawater, ran at the front, roaring and biting at me.
At that moment, I felt that the tiger demon could really bite me, its whole body exuded a desolate aura, I don't know how much stronger than the tiger demon I encountered in my demon hunting career, but in an instant it had already roared in front of me, I could already see its cold shining teeth, the extra-long canine teeth, like a sharp sword, about to pierce my heart.
I have some fear, but the next moment the flames of anger will burn, I am a demon hunter, a demon hunter who has to fight monsters no matter how strong or weak, no matter whether the monsters are strong or not, whether I face them alive or dead, I must not be a joke of a demon hunter, even if I enter the belly of the demon, I must not retreat, even in the face of their strength, I can only weakly punch a fist, I can't do any damage, I have to fight.
It was this kind of anger that suddenly made me forget my fear, and forgot that this overwhelming and powerful demon beast that seemed to be invincible, I roared loudly, and my heart burned with a belief of 'I want to fight, even if I die', the hand holding the long knife tightened suddenly, and there was no longer a mysterious awe of this long knife, it was a weapon, in my hands, it was to slash at the monster.
At this moment, the long knife hanging on the wall was grabbed by me in my roar, and I was still immersed in hallucination, and slashed at the tiger demon at once.
"Who are you? Can you even pick up Ah Da's weapon? "At the moment when I picked up the long knife and swung it, an unfamiliar voice full of shock suddenly sounded in the room.
And the hallucinations in front of my eyes also disappeared completely at this time, there was no black sea, no overwhelming monsters, and no tiger demon that bit me, only this quiet and simple room.
I came back to my senses and looked at the door in surprise, wondering who it was. But I saw a strong middle-aged man with a long beard, half-long hair, dressed in a dungeon's typical coarse linen clothes, and with a shrewd and capable face standing in the doorway, pointing at me, his eyes flashing with an unknown meaning beyond shock.
Standing behind him was the lazy Emperor Tong, who was clearly shocked in the eyes of the Emperor Tong, but there was also an understanding that should be so for granted, he leaned against the wall, under my gaze, and he didn't know what he was thinking when he lowered his head?
"You have taken up the weapons of the great generations." The middle-aged man swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and then explained to me abruptly.
I looked down and saw that the long knife was indeed held in my hand, but the whole blade was still wrapped in strips of cloth, in my hands it did not have the weight of imagination, but a kind of lightness, not even like the feeling in my hands, it naturally existed, like my extended arms, I could feel a trace of kindness.
But this feeling is not intimate, it is the intimacy of being integrated with the weapon, that kind of intimacy can only be brought to me by my nameless sword, I have a trace of regret in my heart, the nameless sword like a brother, I don't know if I can still hold it in this life, whether I will still have a fate with it?
But at this time, Ah Da's voice sounded behind me: "Weiwu, of course he can pick up this demon slash, because he will be the next Ah Da." And it will be the only one who will walk out of this island, understand? ”
It turned out that this middle-aged man was the mighty man who Ah Da asked Emperor Tong to call, and as soon as I turned around, Ah Da didn't know when he was already standing behind me, and there was a hint of relief in his eyes when he looked at me: "You will pick up this demon slash sooner or later, but I didn't expect you to be able to pick it up the first time, it seems that it recognizes you." ”
I laughed, a little sneering, a little lost, what a domineering name - Demon Slayer, it was active in the hands of the great demon hunters for generations, but I missed my namelessness.
So, I re-hung it on the wall, if it was a weapon that I would have to use in the future, I still needed a little time to accept it, so there was some hypocrisy, and the weapon was emotional, but I just couldn't help but be hypocritical.
"Ah Da, you once said that if you rush to take the demon and kill the demon, if you don't let go in time, you will be counterattacked. It's so dangerous, you let Ye Zhengling try it the first time? Emperor Tong asked very casually.
"It doesn't matter, others can also pick up and slay demons, or they can try. There will naturally be danger in the middle, but he will be my heir, and even if he can't afford it, there is no danger. Ah Da replied to Emperor Tong lightly, but looked at me again: "You don't seem to be very happy, there is loss and melancholy in your eyes." ”
"It's understandable that when I was with him a thousand years ago, he had a precious nameless sword that accompanied him through countless battles. It is a good sword, mysterious and powerful, with only one characteristic, and that is to move forward and break nothing! can also withstand this guy's perverted soul power, he looked at the demon slasher, probably thinking about his namelessness. Emperor Tong said something to Ah Da.
I looked at Emperor Tong with some surprise and emotion, he also remembered the nameless, he even knew my thoughts.
"Oh?" Ah Da glanced at me, and he wanted to say something, but he didn't say anything, but walked to the wall, and a hand that looked old gently stroked the demon slasher, and this demon slashing demon was like a spirit, and when Ah Da's hand stroked it, it was slightly gentle and soft, as if it was responding to Ah Da.
I am not amazed at this scene, there is no name and a spirit, whether it is in battle or in countless lonely moonlit moonlit nights in the wilderness, it will also make all kinds of hisses, and respond to me like my brother.
After Ah Da stalked the demon, he seemed to suddenly get older, and there was a trace of sadness in his eyes, but he didn't say anything, but said to me and Emperor Tong: "Go, I want to talk to Weiwu." Emperor Tong, since Ye Zhengling has come to this ancestral island, you can take him around, this will be his root, and it will also be the root of all demon hunters, demon hunter cultivators, and demon hunters, it has been hidden for too long, and one day it will bloom like the cultivator's holy land Snow Mountain. Now it's time for those who inherit it to get acquainted with it. ”
"Okay, Ah." Emperor Tong was still respectful, then turned around and walked out of the room, and looked at me again: "You still haven't followed?" ”
When I heard the word Zudao, my heart was filled with an inexplicable feeling before, so I didn't react for a while, and when the voice of Emperor Tong's urging sounded, I hurriedly followed.
Going out, it is still the endless underground dark river, Emperor Tong walked silently in front of me, I followed behind and looked at Emperor Tong's back, I didn't dare to say anything, I understand Emperor Tong's obsession, I am worried about his loss, although in my opinion, this is nothing to lose, what position to stand in to fight is not a battle?
But if I really say that, I'm afraid that Emperor Tong will turn around and fight with me, and bite me again, saying that I don't have back pain when I stand and talk.
"If I find you're behind me, looking at me with sympathy, I'll beat you up." Suddenly, Emperor Tong suddenly came up with such a sentence.
I was stunned for a moment, but then I laughed, I can say such a thing, which means that Emperor Tong has already let go of some kind of obsession, I said: "I definitely don't sympathize with you, I have no heart and no lungs, but if you want to do something, as long as you can do it, I don't care if I'm the one in the lead, or a little soldier." Anyway, it's all the same demon killing, demon hunting. ”
Emperor Tong looked back at me, his eyebrows raised slightly: "You still have this kind of awareness?" ”
"No, it's not enlightenment. I'm a person who rarely has any consciousness, and some just instincts. I said to Emperor Tong with a smile.
"Sure enough, it's a rough man like a beast, why did God choose you? It's really unwilling for me to stand behind you and fight. Emperor Tong said this, but I didn't hear what he meant to be unwilling.
I quickened my pace and walked a few steps, parallel to Emperor Tong, and said, "What are you unwilling about? Do you stand in front and play the flute, or do you play the harp? Standing in front is to collide and fight flesh and meat. It's not quite for you as a Sven, that's why, God chose me to be the unlucky guy at the front, you don't have to think too complicated. ”
Emperor Tong glanced at me, suddenly kicked me abruptly, and shouted loudly: "You TM just played the flute and the piano on the battlefield." That's the sound of the killing, the first sound of battle from heaven and earth! You only say one last time. ”
I didn't fight back, but my heart was relaxed, because my simple idea like bullshit was accepted by Emperor Tong, because I saw calmness in his eyes.
There was another silent walk, and the Tong Emperor looked ahead, where the entire underground river formed a large C-shaped bay, and the direction of the entire cave also turned with that bend.
"You're going to have a surprise, a big surprise, like the first time I've been here." In another abrupt sentence, Emperor Tong looked ahead, his eyes full of what seemed to be an instinctive attachment and reverence.
"What if I'm not pleasantly surprised?" I'm afraid that Emperor Tong will be disappointed, I don't have any feelings, if I really don't be surprised, wouldn't it be embarrassing.
"Then I'll beat you up and do it with Ah Da." Emperor Tong said lightly.
And as we spoke, we had already turned the big bay.
