Chapter Twenty-Six: The Spirit of the Five Poisons
"The wind is a sharp weapon, the cloud is also a sharp weapon, gold, wood, water, fire and earth, can take people's lives, can conceive sidewalks, can win people's love, can give people what they need, use their recklessness, show their edge, use their flaws, learn from their strengths, and win the way of heaven and earth."
That voice has been lingering in Fan Li's ears, lingering, near and far, bright and dark. He raised his head and looked at the purple of the sky, flickering and circling, like a beautiful woman, with delicate and moving eyes, looking back at the sinking fish and geese.
"Rhona?" He said.
"Soul thief." The other party replied.
"I have a few questions: why didn't you come to the rescue of Rampa when he was suffering; When we went to look for you, why did you avoid you? Why did you do nothing when Sandlet borrowed your title to rule the 'Ant Nest'? ”
"Do nothing, go with the flow." The other party replied.
"I don't understand your reasoning, I know that you have lived longer than us and can see far. But along the way, the brothers and sisters who stood on our side have suffered countless deaths and injuries, and watching these righteous souls disappear, you are happy to go, and I can't let go. I know that you have a big heart, and that the verdict is nothing more than a title, and it is not a pity to discard it. ”
"No, I was once confused because of the ruling, painful because of the ruling, lost everything because of the ruling, even my own position, I once fell into the darkness and could not move forward, this step by step, not only to have a broad mind, but also to have a strong will."
"I understand, but I still can't let go of everything like you, I'm not an immortal, I'm not a saint, I'm just a small commoner, what I hope is peace in the world."
"That's right, that's the rule of you spirit thieves, but peace can never be realized, I think you know better than I do." A purple light appeared in front of Fan Li. Among them, there is a figure, far away in the sky, close at hand, not reachable, not touchable, unable to see clearly, in a trance, virtual or real, inaudible.
"So that's all you explained to me?" Fan asked again.
"I've already explained it to you, Spirit Thief."
"If you say. Esvolt is the earth, carrying all things, Laura is the sky, taking away doubts, Fredem is us, all things are born and restrained, so what are you? ”
"I am the rule of nature, the law of time, the bond of freedom. It's also your barrier. ”
"The wall of freedom can never be crossed. We can only see the sun overhead, but we can't touch it, we can't touch it. Sandlet is the dark cloud that obscures the sky and the sun, forever blinding our eyes. ”
"That's right, but you're willing to be the Icarus who flew out of the labyrinth, out of your world. Running to your new life, would rather be scorched by the sun than seek freedom? The purple in front of me began to fade. Fan Li calmly watched Lorna's departure, maybe Lorna was not called Lorna, she also had some other poetic names, her body was not trapped in a certain shell, but her heart was forever trapped in a world called Ranpa.
The purple faded, and an embarrassed Shaq appeared in front of him. Gray and Ye Yuning, who was covered in blood.
"What answer did Rhona give you?" Seeing Fan Li wake up, Ye Yuning asked.
"I ...... I don't know, it's a vague feeling, she said a lot, but I can't remember it at all. Fan Lifu touched his head. Where have we been? ”
"I don't know, anyway, there's still a long, long way to go, and Sandlet's lack of skills in donkey is slowly pushing us to a dead end." Sark. Gray replied.
Fan Li turned his head to look out the window, and his brain echoed Rhona's words just now.
Would you rather be Icarus flying out of the labyrinth, flying out of your world, running to your new life, rather being scorched by the sun than looking for freedom?
He felt a heat in his chest, and felt like something was burning his heart. He put his hand on his chest, but he touched a hot thing, he took it out, it turned out to be a pendant left by Jialan, which he had been wearing around his neck before, and forgot that this thing existed.
Now, he looked down at the gadget, and the incantation on it lit up with a purple glow.
"What is this?" Sark. Gray also noticed the gadget in Fan Li's hand and asked curiously.
"It's something Jialan left me. The moment I was pulled away by her arrows, she slipped something into my palm, but I wondered why the light on it was exactly the same as Rhona's. ”
"Could it be that Jialan has something to do with this Ronna?" Ye Yuning's words reached Fan Li's heart.
That's right, he wondered why it was Dongshan before, Jialan was from Dongshan, a witch, but since he walked out of the hidden capital, he has never used witchcraft again.
"Shaq. Gray, I have a question, I want to know what kind of training Jialan went through under Lampa? ”
"This ...... It's hard to say, it used to be all confidential, but now the 'ant nest' is gone, and it doesn't matter if it's confidential or not. "Shaq. Gray picked up a cigarette and continued. "Jialan is a spirit thief, and Lan Pa is also a spirit thief, but in order to let Jialan protect you, he suppressed the spirit thief in her body and made her an assassin, coupled with the influence of the hidden capital, she lost her sensitivity as a spirit thief, making her a swift guardian completely. To put it simply, it's a ritual where you give up something and get something else. ”
Fan Lixi understood, Shaq. Gray may not know Jialan, Jialan has never been a spirit thief, what Lanpa asked her to give up is just the study of witchcraft, but Jialan has always been loyal to her ancestors, why would she do such a rebellious thing? Could it be the relationship between Lanpa and Jialan...... Wheels within wheels?
Fan Li looked down and looked at his Heavenly Dragon Seal, the centipede on his arm had faded, and the scar was still on it, and it had not been healed by the Regent.
By the way, Fan Li has another question, I wanted to ask Shaq before. Gray and Boss Kim, but he forgot about it when he was suddenly interrupted by the lightning man.
"Shaq. General Gray, what is the relationship between centipedes and dancing birds? Fan asked Li.
"Wu Meiyan is a centipede." Sark. Gray replied simply.
"What does that mean?" Ye Yuning also asked curiously.
"When 'EFQ' was first established, it was for the Five Poisons, and Lanpa is not only a spirit thief, but also proficient in witchcraft."
"So there are five of them, Wu Meiyan is a centipede, and Qin Ziyang is a scorpion......" Fan Li suddenly remembered that when he first saw Martha, there were countless spiders lying on the ground. At the time, he was amazed at Martha's ability to detect, and it was because of the spiders!
"Martha is a spider, and Xie Ling and Pan Mingyue have to choose between a snake and a toad."
"That's right." Sark. Gray raised an eyebrow at Fan.
"Xie Ling is a snake...... Water Snake Corridor, so Pan Mingyue is a toad, so the five paintings about the five poisons painted by Ma Qiao are actually going to 'EFQ', he was influenced by Qin Ziyang and saw Qin Ziyang's identity, so he can also be controlled by their master, Lan Pa. But what does all this do? Even if we knew that they were related to the Five Poisons, could they really turn into a big scorpion or something? It's funny, isn't it? ”
"Wait!" Fan Li suddenly shouted. "It's not funny!"
"What's wrong?" Ye Yuning looked at Lan Pa in surprise. "What do you think of again?"
"General, you said that Wu Meiyan's left eye was injured, right?"
"That's right, her left eye is white, her eyeball is broken, Qin Ziyang uses magic energy to heal her eyes, but the process is very slow, so she always wears sunglasses."
"That's right, before. Zhang Xin, and Jialan and I found a lot of stories about Lanpa's past in the hidden capital, and then we entered a secret room full of statues of giant insects, which should be where Qin Ziyang once worked. Later, a giant centipede suddenly came out, it captured Zhang Xin, but did not hurt him, Jialan shot it in the left eye. That's how it got rid of it. ”
"You mean...... The centipede you saw was Wu Meiyan? Ye Yuning felt that all this was a little incredible.
"General, do you have something else to hide from us?" Fan turned to Shaq. Gray, seeing his slightly uneasy expression.
"At that time, Rampa was practicing witchcraft. It is true that the five gods were sealed in the bodies of the five girls, and with the help of magical energy, these powers were fused into them, so they gained superhuman abilities, but at that time, they were still babies. ”
"So, Lan Pa has been eyeing them for a long time, and he has long known that Qin Ziyang is the apocalypse?"
"That's right, Ziyang's father and I are world friends, he agreed to this plan, anyway, I won't kill Ziyang, and after that, I have always regarded Ziyang as my own daughter, but I have alienated my own daughter."
"So in another world, that is, the world where Lan Pa lives, do the remaining four people also have the same strong legend as Qin Ziyang?"
"Qin Ziyang is the apocalypse, Ye Yuning is a black punishment, but Yu Ning is different from Zi Yang, Zi Yang was born a product of hell, and Yu Ning became depraved after being deceived by Lan Pa. Wu Meiyan, Pan Mingyue, Xie Ling, and my good daughter are not all involved in that world, but the spirit of the five poisons is the evil spirit that Lan Pa took great pains to accept when he was still a spirit thief. He never believed in the ways of good and evil, not even me, Volan. People like Fez and Justin have committed heinous sins, Rampa doesn't care about the bad impression of sin, he is the most outstanding soul thief in history, he always advocates change, he never wants to destroy these evil souls, nor does he advocate the captivity policy of Fredem, he changes these vicious souls, removes their evil, and leaves their good deeds for the benefit of the world. However, Lambpa also hit a nail, which made him change his old thinking and stop believing that sin can be turned into good deeds. ”
"Is that me?" Ye Yuning asked in a low voice, her voice full of melancholy.
"Yes, you have caused him great pain enough to turn his mind around, and it has caused Rampa to make a fatal mistake. Someone once said to Lan Pa that the one who gets the Apocalypse Black Punishment will win the world, but that person is very treacherous and did not say the whole thing, the Apocalypse Black Punishment must have both, in order to be able to outwit the world, otherwise anything will destroy the world and destroy the world. ”
"I see." Fan Li said.
"What do you know?" Sark. Gray asked.
"Luo Na's words, she clearly wants us to find Qin Ziyang, gold, wood, water, fire, and earth...... Alas, she originally wanted to talk about the spirit of the five poisons. Fan Li looked out the window and sighed softly. (To be continued......)
