Chapter 55: Ancient Times (II)

I know too well how much Emperor Tong cares about the identity of the demon hunter, just like I was pushed by fate at the beginning, and in the face of responsibility, from evasion to acceptance, no matter what, there is always a sense of passivity in it.

But Emperor Tong is different, he takes the initiative to face, fight, and even want to bear some kind of fate in a paranoid way.

But I didn't expect that fate played a joke on us, and I had to bear the fate that Emperor Tong wanted, and Emperor Tong was destined to be a demon hunter behind me.

Thinking of this, my heart felt a little uncomfortable, and I didn't know if it was because of my own passivity, or because of the Tong Emperor's persistence.

I turned my head to look at Emperor Tong, his face was a little pale, but that's all, he saw my gaze and whispered, "Ye Zhengling, you are not allowed to be complacent." No matter what role fate has assigned to me, I don't have to be worse than you, and maybe I'll be the one at the forefront in the end. Because I'm determined. ”

In the face of Emperor Tong's remarks, Ah Da actually returned the smile, with a look of approval in his eyes, and did not deny it.

Ah Da's expression made Emperor Tong feel a lot better, and his eyes returned to his previous pride and indifference.

"You've been doing a great job. At least that's what I think. "This is a sentence that I need to say to Emperor Tong.

Emperor Tong ignored me, just lowered his head and drank the bowl of soup, Ah Da looked at me and said: "Don't waste the soup in the bowl, in the new era, many old things are disappearing." Even on this island, one day all the old will disappear. The seven-leaf clover soul grass is getting harder and harder to find, and the spirit fish is not available in every underground dark river now. I have their favorite bait, and after a year of fishing, I've only managed to get seven. ”

"Ah Da, you mean this bowl of soup?" I held the bowl and asked suspiciously, because the things in Ah Da's mouth, whether it was fish or grass, were things I had never heard of, and they were simply things beyond cognition.

"Otherwise, what do you think Ah Da is talking about? If we hadn't arrived, I don't think Ah Da would have boiled these things, and everything would have been precious. "Ah Da didn't speak, but the Tong Emperor answered me instead of Ah Da.

At this time, I had already finished drinking the soup in the bowl, because the portion was really small, Ah Da naturally took my bowl, filled me with another bowl from the pot, and said, "Many things are not deliberate. If the most precious things in heaven and earth do not play their role, how can they be precious in my eyes? In a few hours, you will have something to do, and it would be nice to be able to replenish it at this time. ”

I took the soup that Ah Da handed me with both hands, I definitely didn't dare to underestimate this bowl of soup, no one specifically said what its ingredients were, but its preciousness was self-evident, I took the soup while finally couldn't help asking: "Ah Da, what you said the Tong Emperor and I need to do is to stop the upcoming trial in Qinglong City?" ”

Ah Da looked at me and said, "Yes, that trial was not so much to prevent it as to uncover the truth about it." ”

"I don't understand what it means?" I've always thought that trial was weird, but I never figured out what the purpose of that trial was. The big man in front of him is also talking very strangely, how can he tell the truth about it?

Looking at my searching gaze, Ah Da hesitated slightly, but said something inexplicable to me: "If your responsibility, everything you carry to be completed, is destined to make you lose your most precious and important things, what are you going to do?" ”

I looked at Ah Da and asked a question at this time, it was better to let Ah Da continue.

However, Ah Da did not continue the topic, but said: "This calamity was calculated by the sages many years ago. The demon clan is preparing, and the cultivators involved in it have also been preparing, just like the snow mountain, the biggest guardian of heaven and earth among the cultivators in Huaxia, will never escape this catastrophe, and they have been guarding it for thousands of years. And the demon hunters who bore the brunt of the attack were not prepared? No, my existence is the preparation of the demon hunters. ”

"This?" I raised my eyebrows, and there seemed to be some truth to this.

For thousands of years, there is no reason to say that the demon clan and cultivators have been making preparations, and the demon hunters who bear the brunt of the disaster are declining more and more.

"I'm Ah Da, so naturally there is Ah Er or something. But after so many years, there are a total of seven Demon Hunter Inheritance Guardians, and now, I am the only one left. I can't leave here, the loneliness and pain in it is unimaginable, but I must persevere until you show up and completely put this inheritance in your hands, so that the demon hunters will usher in a new era or the existence of the demon hunters will disappear completely. This kind of protection is a sacrifice, not just for one generation, but for many generations, guarding the island and guarding the last inheritance. Ah Da looked at me and said very seriously, with an indescribable vicissitudes in his eyes.

I was silent, pursed the corners of my mouth, I understood that Ah Da was telling me that my future sacrifice was no less than this, and I couldn't escape it when my predecessors had paid such sacrifices.

I wondered in my heart, what am I going to sacrifice?

Ah Da glanced at me, then stood up, and continued: "Every generation of Ah Da has a long life, and as a very powerful demon hunter, being trapped on this island is a kind of loneliness and torture. I am the twenty-third generation of Ah Da, I can't leave this island, my soul is buried deep in it, and my flesh and blood are only used to protect it. In this process of guarding, 17 of the 23 generations of Ah Dazhong have died here. However, your presence today can finally prove that we have no regrets. Therefore, God-given son, you must also remember that you can finally stand here and get the inheritance of everything, behind which are countless fresh lives. When it comes time for you to sacrifice, you can't hesitate. This is the test of God's heart. ”

Cold sweat oozed from my palms, to be honest, if the sacrifice was just me, I would not have anything to fear, but there are also things in my life that I cannot give up, and I must not give up.

My spiritual sense has always been poor, but when Ah Da talked about this sacrifice, my heart was inexplicably terrified, as if my heart didn't belong to me anymore.

"What the hell is going to be sacrificed?" I had a hard time asking this question.

Ah Da walked up to me and sat down again, looking at me seriously: "It's obscure now, but it must be a difficult sacrifice." Let's go back to this operation, there are no specific instructions, the only thing to do is to uncover a truth. Because, I can't leave here, and the only people who bear this heavy responsibility are you and Emperor Tong. But I don't mind telling you a word, the key to Qinglong City's opening of this trial is the Sky Fox, they finally got the hint of fate a hundred years ago, so they began to prepare for this 'deception' operation a hundred years ago, this is a desperate shortcut, no one thinks that it will definitely succeed, but if it succeeds, everything will change. ”

"Sky Fox?" When I finally mentioned these two words, bitterness swelled up in my heart, as if my fate and Sky Fox had always been entangled.

But what Ah Da said is too obscure, and I need an explanation.

At this time, Ah Da did not speak, but it was the Tong Emperor who opened his mouth to explain: "The final indication is obscure. But the year of chaos will definitely come, and the final result will be as the demon clan wishes, or whether the human race will stick to the current pattern and protect success, one of the key points is the sky fox. Why is there a question about Tianhu, even Ah Da has not understood the key to it. I can only vaguely know that this is related to the ability of the Sky Fox. ”

"But what does all this have to do with the trial that those guys in Blue Dragon City are going to do?" The purpose of my coming to the dungeon is very simple, just to find Xinyi, I never dreamed that I would be so deeply involved, and even here to open my destiny, the true inheritance of the demon hunter.

"Naturally, there is a relationship. The dungeon didn't know who was so genius, and wanted to deceive the heavens, pretending that they didn't know, and then killed the sky fox. As a cultivator, don't you know the correlation of fate? Why suicide is one of the heaviest sins, at best, is to escape from one's own destiny and temper oneself by failing to complete the suffering given by life. In fact, suicide is outside of destiny, forcibly cutting off all causal connections and fate, affecting related people. I prompted you still don't understand? "Emperor Tong looked at me like a fool.

I swallowed a mouthful of saliva, I actually understood a little in my heart, and said slowly: "That is to say, if the demon clan kills the key point of their victory, the sky fox. Then the fate of everything that God predetermined to be unfavorable to them will be reversed? Or, at least, hide it from God, with an extra hole card? It's like I, the demon hunter of the godsend, is dead, which is very unfavorable to the human side, so there must be new people on the human side, and new 'preferential treatment' appears, if I don't die in the end, then I, who came up with such a genius solution? It's incredible, it's crazy. ”

My last few words were literally squeezed out between my teeth, and I never thought that the purpose of this fanfare trial was this.

It sounds so naΓ―ve and funny, so unbelievable, but it is impossible to do it at all, how can you deceive the heavens?

"It's unbelievable, isn't it? The first time I heard Ah Da talk about it, I thought it was impossible. I don't think the demon clan will succeed, even if no one stops me, that's my initial attitude. Of course, I am still skeptical about this matter. However, Ah Da said a word to me. When Emperor Tong said this, he stopped.

Ah Da said: "Yes, just one sentence." Don't underestimate the demon clan's hundred-year preparations, they are serious. ”
