Chapter 32: The Chosen (Finale)

"You know me?" Fan Peixi asked.

The old man turned his head, snorted coldly, and said, "How could you not know it." ”

When Fan Peixi saw the old man's face, she suddenly had an indescribable awkward feeling in her heart. He always felt that face familiar, but in the memories of anyone in his mind, he couldn't find anyone who could match it.

I don't know why, Fan Peixi suddenly had an inexplicable sense of closeness to the old man in front of him, as if he secretly decided that this old man would not hurt him, as for why he had such thoughts, even he didn't know.

After thinking for a while, Fan Peixi said, "I seem to have seen you somewhere." ”

The old man nodded and said, "I see it every day." ”

Fan Peixi was stunned, "Every day? ”

The old man didn't want to continue to entangle with Fan Peixi on the current issue, so he changed the topic and said, "Come with me, it's time." ”

Fan Peixi was a little displeased, he didn't understand why these people always said half and left half when they spoke. Is it a trick, definitely not, because there is really no need to say some things, but Fan Peixi still doesn't understand these truths.

"When is the time, is the Wu Sect going to be resurrected, and, who are you, are you the Wu Sect?" Fan Peixi had a basket of questions in his heart that he wanted to ask the old man in front of him, so that for a while, he lost the ability to organize language.

The old man shook his head at him and said, "I'm not a Wu Sect. ”

"And who are you?" Fan Peixi asked.

"I'm the Sixth Imperial Attendant." The old man replied lightly.

When Fan Peixi heard the identity of the old man, he immediately felt a spirit all over his body, this person was the six imperial attendants who were hidden in Kunlun Mountain and guarded the last magic weapon.

When Fan Peixi saw that the other party was the same as his identity, he immediately felt a lot more relieved, and his courage became bigger, and he asked directly: "I am also the Sixth Imperial Attendant, we are all here to help the Wu Sect resurrect, are you the one who guards the last magic weapon." ”

The old man shook his head in silence.

Fan Peixi was a little puzzled, his impression of this old man was getting worse and worse, this old man was like squeezing toothpaste when he spoke, always squeezing, saying a little, squeezing a little, saying a little, Fan Peixi felt that such a conversation was very tiring.

Since the old man in front of him was born as a servant of the Six Emperors, but he was not the guardian of the last magic weapon, no matter how he looked at it, there was some contradiction in it.

The old man didn't care about Fan Peixi's incomprehension, but just said to Fan Peixi: "Come with me, I'll tell you while I'm walking." ”

Maybe it was because of the sense of trust that had been engraved in Fan Peixi's heart before, he didn't have any extra precautions, so he followed the old man's footsteps and walked to the depths of the road.

The old man walked forward by himself, and said to Fan Peixi:

Almost 7,000 years ago, Wu Zong went out from here, began to spread the belief in civilization and primitive witch religion in the border areas of the Central Plains, this is his 59th attempt to make the so-called perfect civilization, three thousand years later, Wu Zong decided to return here, sleep forever, if it still does not reach the civilization he expected, Wu Zong will be resurrected again, everything will start again.

However, Wu Zong was tired of it, unlike the previous fifty-nine times, the reincarnation of Yijiazi, the sixtieth resurrection, Wu Zong wanted to give the power of his resurrection to a mortal.

At that time, all the Six Imperial Attendants were surprised as to why the Wu Sect would make such a choice. I believe you have also seen in the underground palace of Kunlun Mountain, how powerful the power of the Wu Sect is, he can even manipulate the real illusion at will. Before the Wu Sect fell asleep, he left one last magic circle in Kunlun Mountain, and this magic circle was enough to block anyone who wanted to get close to the Wu Sect's body.

You may be asking, why did the Wuzong do this?

In fact, the reason is very simple, Wu Zong finally hopes to exchange the direction of civilization to human beings, and human beings make their own decisions - whether to overturn everything and start over, or still follow their own steps step by step to the demise of civilization, Wu Zong hopes that this decision will be made by human beings themselves.

You have also seen that Wu Zong still has such a great mana after his eternal sleep, if he wants to be resurrected wholeheartedly, what can stop him (her)?

Therefore, Wu Zong finally made a prophecy, this prophecy is that thousands of years later, today, there will be a mortal who will decide whether Wu Zong is resurrected, and can even influence Wu Zong's thoughts, that is, Wu Zong will listen to this person's opinion.

Therefore, when Wu Zong was put to rest, he sent six attendants to leave Kunlun Mountain and go to their respective places to guard, waiting for the time to come. The six royal attendants will have different ways of immortality, with the exception of one person. This man is different from the other five attendants, he will die, be reincarnated, and become the one in the prophecy of the Wuzong thousands of years later, we call him the Chosen One.

Of course, among the six of us, we don't know who will become the chosen one, so it has always been a mystery, and now, the six ** instruments have been gathered, that is, it is time for the chosen to make a decision.

When Fan Peixi heard this, she couldn't help but be stunned, and said: "You said that the six ** weapons have been concentrated here, that is to say, even the magic weapons of the ancient Shu Kingdom are here." ”

The old man walked in front, and his head did not acquiesce to Fan Peixi's words.

Fan Peixi remembered the prophecy that Long Bujin had told him before, Long Bujin once said that Ryazan is the son of the legendary prophecy, so if you say so, Ryazan is also one of the six royal attendants!

"Wait, do you mean, Ryazan is here too?" Fan Peixi asked.

"I don't know him." The old man said.

"That's what you call the Chosen One." Fan Peixi said anxiously.

The old man didn't answer Fan Peixi, he walked forward on his own. Fan Peixi followed his footsteps, walking, Fan Peixi suddenly discovered a strange thing, he found that the old man in front of him seemed to be getting younger little by little.

It looked like a collapsed shoulder and gray hair just now, but now from the back, the man's hair has become black and shiny, and the hair seems to be growing continuously, and the collapsed shoulders are standing up little by little.

What was going on, Fan Peixi didn't know, or rather, he didn't notice it until they came to a magnificent underground altar.

The altar looks very grandiose, the base of the column, there are six huge cylinders around it, the column is carved with dense totemic characters, on the stone wall around the altar, carved with all kinds of fierce gods and evil gods that Fan Peixi can't name, lifelike and murderous.

In the middle of the altar, there is a huge bronze coffin. What Fan Peixi never expected was that Long Bujin was standing naked in the bronze coffin at this moment, with his back to them.

The back of that figure, even if Fan Peixi couldn't see her face at all, it was still certain that it was Long Bujin's body. However, after a closer look, he found that there was something wrong with Long Bujin's body, she was fluttering, it seemed that it was not an entity, but just a wisp of ghost.

Just when Fan Peixi was extremely surprised by the things in front of him, suddenly, the person in front of him turned around and took a look at Fan Peixi. At that moment, Fan Peixi's entire body seemed to be struck by lightning and couldn't move.

I saw that the person who turned around had a golden mask on his face at some point, as well as the body shape, the mannerisms and movements, and the pair of eyes that came through the hole in the mask, that was Fan Peixi himself!

"This, how can this be ......" Fan Peixi froze halfway through his words, he found that it was not his own voice, it was an extremely old voice, and even he felt extremely unfamiliar.

The golden masked man in front of him said lightly, "Your task has been completed, and your body will be used as a vessel for the Witch Sect." ”

Fan Peixi looked down at his hands, at that moment, he was completely crazy, I don't know why, at this moment his hands were extremely thin and old, he touched his cheeks, and suddenly gasped, the golden mask disappeared! His entire face became wrinkled.

"Why? Why? Fan Peixi asked in a hoarse voice.

The man in the golden mask said coldly: "As a heavenly imperial attendant, your physical body is not corrupted, that is to say, your physical body is a vessel, and your physical body is one of the magic weapons, but your soul is not a Six Imperial attendant, and you are a completely different person every time you are reborn." Your body has been delivered to the Wu Sect. ”

"Nope! Wait a minute! What's going on, and whose body does I have now? Fan Peixi shouted.

"Naturally, it's yours, it's just that he will rot." With that, the Golden Masked Man walked straight to the top of the altar.

"Who the hell are you?" Fan Peixi asked for the last time.

The man said without looking back: "I am the Sixth Imperial Attendant, and I am responsible for combining all the conditions for the resurrection of the Wu Sect. ”

Fan Peixi calmed down and thought for a while, indeed, himself, Long Bujin, the two attendants of Gu Yongguo and Gu Shuguo, plus Ryazan's words, there are a total of five waiters, and there is indeed the last waiter left, and this waiter is the person in front of him - this guy who doesn't know if he is a human or not, he can quietly change his body, which is terrible.

Seeing the golden masked man walking in front of Long Bujin, Long Bujin willingly took out the Spirit Absorbing Demon Jade for the first time and put it on the person's body, and then the two of them poured it into the bronze coffin together and closed the lid of the coffin.

Seeing this, Fan Peixi felt a nameless fire in his heart, and he rushed to the altar with great momentum, but before he took two steps, he stopped because of his aging body, panting.

Lonely men and widows, lying naked in bronze coffins, fools know what they are going to do inside. Fan Peixi knows that in the West, and even in the world, there are many primitive religions and some churches known as cults, and they regard the ** between men and women as a way to communicate with the gods. They believe that when the body and spirit reach their peak of pleasure, the soul is closest to the gods. However, if the resurrection of Wuzong is to use such a form to perform the ceremony, Fan Peixi can't accept it, this is not what he imagined at all, this way is too unsacred, it is simply an insult, and it is the biggest insult to all of them along the way.

Fan Peixi thought to herself, could it be that we did everything possible to bring Long Bujin here for this?

He stumbled, almost crawling to the center of the altar, and then with great effort he could barely push the bronze coffin open a gap, and he tried hard to push the lid open, but found that the coffin was empty, and the two people inside were now missing.

Fan Peixi was stunned for a moment, but soon, he leaned on the bronze coffin and laughed loudly, and after laughing for a while, he cried again, he didn't know how to describe his emotions.

It seems that Zhang Hefang's estimation is wrong, Fan Peixi has not lost any memory, he still remembers everything, but after all this experience is over, he has been exchanged for an old body, so what is he doing all this for, like Zhang Hefang and those who are bent on helping Wuzong resurrect, what are they doing all this for.

It's like a dream......

Fan Peixi muttered, "This is a ...... Extrication? ”

………………

In the dark and empty underground plaza, there were five people lying on the ground, three of whom had lost their lives, but no one knew what they had been killed.

There were no wounds visible on their bodies, but they were dead.

In the distance, a slender figure, dressed in a dark robe, exuding a faint white halo from all over his body, walked in slowly.

His or her face is constantly changing, sometimes male, sometimes female, and the facial expression is difficult to discern.

Everywhere Xuanyi went, an indescribable sense of tranquility emanated from his body, as if everything was in his or her hands.

The Xuanyi man slowly walked to Ryazan's side, and a calm but aggressive momentum surged over for a while. He or she lowered his or her head and looked quietly at Ryazan's emaciated pale cheeks.

Ryazan's breathing was steady and steady, as if he was asleep, and the spine staff he held tightly in his hand seemed to be disturbed by the Xuanyi man at this moment and emitted a faint halo. The Xuanyi man could have taken the spine staff quietly while he or she was unprepared, but he or she didn't do that.

He (she) squatted down and gently brushed Ryazan's forehead with his pale and slender fingers, and suddenly, Ryazan took a sharp breath and opened his eyes.

Ryazan sat up suddenly, staring at everything in front of him in amazement, where were the bat monsters, where were the hordes of zombies, and there was silence all around, and he could not see any other light except for the Xuanyi man in front of him.

Just now, the Xuanyi man gently brushed Ryazan's forehead with his fingers, not only awakening Ryazan's body, but also awakening Ryazan's memory of his previous life - the memory of being the only one who did not have immortality as the six imperial attendants.

The Xuanyi man looked at Ryazan, his mouth did not move, but his magnetic voice said slowly: "Heavenly Choice, it's time for you to make a decision." ”

Ryazan raised his head and looked at the Xuanyi man, he knew that the "person" in front of him was the legendary Wuzong, which could be felt from the peaceful power that constantly emanated from his (her) body.

Ryazan lowered his head, looked at the spine staff in his hand, and seemed to be talking to himself, "Is there any point in such a choice?" ”

"Naturally," the Xuanyi man replied, "It is up to you to decide whether or not the reincarnation of civilization is reincarnated, this is the ability I have given you, and you are the only person in this world who can kill me." ”

Ryazan muttered: "No one in this world can kill you, and no one can use you, my ability is given by you, can it be understood that you committed suicide?" ”

The Xuanyi man was silent and did not answer.

"What happens if I kill you?" Ryazan asked, he actually knew very well in his heart that the current Wuzong could easily kill him, but Wuzong did not do this, that is, if he wanted to kill Wuzong, Wuzong would not resist.

Xuanyi replied quietly: "If you kill me, everything will return to the way it was, those who died will come back to life, Fan Peixi will become young again, but he will lose the ability to be reborn, your father, your master, and everyone here will come back to life, but all the six ** weapons will disappear, including yourself, there will be no more immortality in the world, and the direction of civilization will all be tied to the hands of human beings themselves." ”

"What if I don't kill you." Ryazan actually knew the answer, but he was still willing to listen to Wuzong's answer.

Xuanyi said: "If you don't kill me, the reincarnation of civilization will be restarted, and the current human civilization will all disappear at dawn, and everything will start over, and you will continue to create a new civilization with me as the six royal attendants, until you create a perfect civilization that you are satisfied with, or disappear in the second Jiazi reincarnation." ”

"So if I don't kill you, there's only two of us left in this world?"

"I will grant you immortality and witness with me the rise of human civilization again."

Ryazan was silent, and the Xuanyi man did not disturb him, because he was thinking.

At that moment, Ryazan's head was a mess, if he chose to kill Wuzong, then, he himself would die, but his father and many others who died in this adventure would all be resurrected, as if it had never happened, if he didn't kill Wuzong, then, civilization would come back again.

The key question is, will a new civilization solve the problem? Can the so-called perfect civilization exist? Are the factors hindering the self-improvement of civilization the limitations of civilization itself or the humanity of mankind itself?

Ryazan looked back at Fan Jiyun lightly, and suddenly the corners of his eyes moistened. He looked at the old ghost, this evil old man was naturally cruel to others, but he was like an unserious father to him. He thought of Fan Peixi, who was the only person in the world who was willing to listen to Ryazan's ridicule. Ryazan even thought of Gao Peng, who was far away in the sky and was living an ordinary life at this moment, he had also lived and died with Liang Ping, in the blood swamp of Shennongjia, Gao Peng's sacrifice to save him is still fresh in his memory.

He thought of many, many people - Duan Yuwen, Da Zhao, Teng Yi, Yuan Baqian, Chen Bing, Long Bujin, Qin Ye, Jiang Daolin, and of course, the little-known brother Fan Peilin.

The faces of these people now seemed to be right in front of his eyes, there were friends among them, there were enemies, there were mutual exploits, there were mutual trusts, but too many of them were dead.

"Have you figured it out?" Xuanyi asked.

Ryazan said thoughtfully: "I think the reincarnation of civilization will get the same result no matter how many times, unless it is man himself who is changed, who changes human nature." People, they're so cute, they're terrible. ”
