Chapter Thirty-Eight: Death
Xiu saw that the "Trickster" wouldn't let me ride it, so she got off the horse and walked with me, and the "Trickster" seemed to be a little unwilling, and then secretly pushed my buttocks, wanting me to ride on it, so that its owner could sit back down.
Now you know how important I am? The ass that I just fell was swollen.
Forget it, who made me kind-natured, forgive me once, so I told Xiu Wan that I really wanted to feel the feeling of such a tall horse as Qi, and I wanted to try again and let her help me. She simply warned me not to be reckless, and the rest was up to me.
Sure enough, after getting on the horse this time, the "trickster" seemed docile, and I secretly pinched its butt to avenge my swollen buttocks, and it was stunned for a moment, and then continued to walk forward as if it had not happened.
Well, the revenge had been avenged, and I found a reason for Xiu Wan to ride away with me, and the "trickster" saw me like this, and hurriedly rubbed my legs secretly with its movable mane.
Following the information that Xiu Wan got from the power of the "Holy Demon" within us, we went all the way to a remote place, which looked like when I first came to this [Devouring Land], surrounded by rancid and savage, fortunately, I had been in contact with it before, and it was not too resistant.
"This is the prison of the [Devouring Land], and it won't be long before you can find the person you're looking for. Xiu Shao said.
I didn't seem to have much reaction when I looked at Xiu Yao, and it didn't seem like the first time I had been here.
"Why is this like this, and if it's a prison place, why is it like no man's land?" I asked.
"This is the place to deal with death row inmates. Xiu Yao explained.
Then she jumped off the horse, and I did, and she led me towards the rancid heartland, which was littered with scavengers, and the closer you went, the more disgusting the smell grew.
"Are you really here?" I asked.
If so, who is this Abrahon, and if he can stay, or is he already one of the death row inmates to be executed?
"The Land of the Dead, this is what I hear in Kunfan. Xiu Shao said.
I thought that the [Three Demon Venerables] were speaking in the dark language, but it turned out that the "Holy Demon" was speaking in Kun Fan.
When we came to the center of this place, we saw a special iron cage, this cage I had seen, it was the kind of cage that held me in the secret room under the [Department of Justice] at that time, but the people in it were no longer in it, but there was still a trace of fragrance in it, and it seemed that the people had not been gone for long.
"He's waiting for you down there, and if you want to go down with him." Xiu Yao just closed her eyes, and probably communicated with the "Holy Demon" again, and said to me.
"Good!" I returned.
When I walked into the cage, the door of the cage was locked! Even if I had experienced strong winds and waves, I couldn't withstand this sudden moment, and when I was about to guard, Xiu Wu stopped me.
"Don't be afraid, they won't hurt you. I'll finish picking up my stuff and I'll come back to you when the time comes, so as not to lose time. Xiu Shao said.
"But—" Before I could finish speaking, a large hole suddenly broke in the ground, and the cage I was in suddenly descended rapidly, falling directly into an abyss.
It was pitch black, and it was impossible to see anything around, but it smelled the same as in this iron cage, like beside the flowers in the village, exuding a fresh and sweet aroma.
When I looked up again, I couldn't see Xiu Yao's shadow anymore, only an empty space remained.
What kind of man is this man whom the Lord has arranged for me to kill, and who hides in the place of decay and smell, in the land of the dead, and in this place of great life, that one wonders what kind of man this Abra is.
"'Demon Refining Host', is that you?" someone asked in the empty darkness.
"Yes, is it Abrahon's senior?" I hurriedly asked.
At this time, a silver-haired man, looking a little older, or a few years older than me, wearing a gray robe, walking towards me with a torch, he looked me up and down, wiped his chin with his hand, and then waved his hand, and suddenly the door of the cage opened unusually violently, and it felt like the whole cage was going to be broken!
I covered my ears, not knowing what he was going to do, at the moment my brain was buzzing, shocked by the loud sound of the iron cage, he smiled awkwardly and said, "I'm sorry, too hard." ”
I hurriedly walked out of the cage, and when I got closer, I saw that this man was quite handsome, but his clothes were a little sloppy.
"You seem to know in advance that I'm coming?" I asked.
"Of course, and I knew your boss sent you to kill me, right?" he asked with a smile.
What's so funny about that? Are you mocking me?
"How do you know, and if you do, why do you dare to let me down?" I asked curiously.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I lost my temper, I didn't mock you, I was laughing at your boss. He laughed heartily as he spoke, as if he were telling some funny joke.
"You... Can you 'read minds'?" I said in amazement, I remember I didn't have that to say.
"Haha, this is how stupid you are, what kind of mind reading, you have studied Taoism for so long, don't you know what 'Soul Command' is?" said Ah Brown still jokingly.
This man feels like he's not in a normal state, he doesn't have a serious appearance, and I really don't know why the Lord wants me to kill him.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm out of shape again! I apologize to you, we're not familiar enough to joke with each other, it's me who lost my temper. Brown muttered self-reflectively.
It seems that what I think is being heard by him again.
"Okay, let's be serious. Your lord's thoughts, let me tell you, your lord wants to make some people disappear completely, and wants to eradicate them by your hand, but if unfortunately you fail, it just so happens that he is also trying to eradicate you. Abra said as he returned to his normal form.
"It seems that the latter is more likely, and he still wants me to disappear in the end, but didn't he think that the two of us would be like this?" I asked.
"Of course I thought about it, but it was impossible, because if someone outside was close to the top, you could see what the situation was. Abulon said.
After saying this, I couldn't help but feel a chill down my spine, could it be that all those who approached were killed by him?
"Is it cruel? How many people have come here who want to kill me over the years? How many masters have received the same orders as you, am I going to sit idly by?" said Brown.
"Then why did I get close?" I was a little scared when I thought about it now.
"I wanted to kill you, but through the 'trickster', I saw a wooden sign on your waist, and thought it was given to you by the dragon, so I let you in. Abra said.
"You're Yuro?" I suddenly remembered.
When Master Long Ying was about to part with me, he asked me to look for Youluo with a wooden card, but I heard the master say, that is an old man, how can it be a young man of the same age as me?
"Hahaha! Long Ying is really good at finding apprentices, you are so funny, no wonder that stuffy gourd likes you. "Brown, no, Yuro is starting to be in abnormal mode again.
"He didn't like me either, but Shiniang's apprentice was my fiancée, so the master was willing to teach me. I explained.
"You really look stupid, your master doesn't like you, and will risk poisoning your heart to get justice for you?"
Well, that's true, if the master doesn't pay attention to me, how can he dare to commit a crime, defend me at such a big price, and finally go to [Tianquanya] to reflect, I don't know what is going on now.
"It's good to know kindness, and let me tell you a secret, your master and your master are also old people, and they should be almost 500 years old this year. Yuluo said mysteriously.
Oh my God, I didn't expect all three of them to live for so long.
"There's a lot more you didn't expect, little one. Yuluo became serious.
Looks like he's going to start talking about what I want to hear the most.
Since this Yuluo knew his mind, he naturally knew what he was going to do and what he knew when I came, but he probably hadn't seen anyone for a long time, and at first he thought I was amusing and had been amusing me, but at this time he seemed to notice something, and began to talk to me about the matter of the Lord.
He gave me a clear answer at the beginning, this lord is not a demon, but a demon!
Although I thought that there might be a lot of things that the Lord did not do properly, I did not expect that the answer was unambiguous, and it was clearly explained in one sentence. He said that this lord was not like this, and that there were four brothers around him, and the five brothers opened the [Lin] Guild together.
At that time, [Baicheng] was not able to control these, and people with special powers were unwilling to obey the orders of [dignitaries], so they gathered talents and unified orders, and the lord and the four brothers led the strangers to protect the peace of the people on this continent.
The Venerable Lord suddenly became famous, and [Lin] became a place that all supernatural people dream of joining, but this formed a contradictory trend, that is, the contradiction between [Lin] and [political institutions] formed a contradiction between power and prestige, so the emperor at that time, [Emperor Qianyuan], listened to the advice of his advisers and asked [Lin] to go to the distant tribe secretly, saying that there was a giant beast there, devouring most of the tribe's population.
The Lord was young at the time, and he didn't know what was going on, so he led his brothers there, but there is no detailed record in the back, only that all four of his brothers were killed in battle, and he was the only one who lived, but he lost his vision and ability to walk, and almost all the members who went there did not return, but fortunately he successfully completed the task.
Since that war, there was a complete break between the lord and the [dignitaries], and they began to recruit manpower, train apprentices, and entrenched in the entire [Thunder Town], at that time, the entire Tianyou Lake was a world of [Lin], until there was an internal rebellion, and some people took refuge in the [dignitaries] privately, and since then the [Thunder Town] has been divided, and most of the north side has been obtained.
Since then, [Lin] has gone into decline, and the character of the Lord has begun to darken, and he is not as passionate and righteous as before.
"So that's the case, the Lord is actually understandable, but why did he kill you?" I asked.
"Good question, he wants to kill me because I know the truth, and he is the only person who knows the truth in the process of conquest of 'demon refining', I don't die, he will never be sure in his heart. Youluo said coldly, and his tone was like Pang Ruo's before.
"What is the truth?' Did 'Demon Alchemy' really eat most of the people of the tribe?" I asked.
"That 'refining demons' is a god descending into the world, how can he feed on people, does he tell you that the tribe sacrifices people to 'refining demons'? Heh, how many years have passed, and now even I have to start believing this lie! The boys and girls sent are so that they can be favored by 'refining demons' from an early age, and if 'refining demons' likes, that child will be the next generation of tribal leaders. Yuluo said.
"So—" I seemed to know what was going on, but I still wanted to hear him say it himself.
"Yes, it was the Venerable Lord who took the initiative to provoke the demon refining, and at that time he already knew the truth, because at that time there was an interpreter who had already made it clear that the person was hidden by the [dignitary], not eaten by the demon refiner, and before the investigation was clear, he made a move, so that his brothers all died in battle with Pingbai, which is the reason why he is now deceiving himself and changing his personality. When you say this, it seems that you are returning to the misery of that time.
In this way, I completely solved the mystery, the reason why the lord wants to kill me is because the "demon refining" is now in my body, no matter what form it takes, it is currently on my body, and he is afraid of seeing the "demon refining" again, so whether it is with the help of the [Taiyin Society], whether it is to start by himself, or to let the Yuluo in front of him kill me, in short, he will trap me and die.
If I die, he will be able to keep that secret forever, not because he killed the gods, but because the monster made a mistake and then was killed.
Hearing this, I felt a strong energy in my body wanting to break through myself, and I vaguely knew that it was the anger from the "demon refining"!
"It's terrible! Then why did he let me go then!" I remembered the image of myself leaving with my baggage when I was angry.
"Don't you think it's a coincidence? Not long after you went out, someone was about to attack you, and after you did, the lord immediately knew that you had won?" said Yuro.
At that time, the Lord deliberately provoked me to arrange for me to fall into a trap so that he could solve me in the wild.
At that time, when he was fighting against "Thunder Tiger" Feng Shan, he had finally used a killing move, and he had no intention of stopping!
It turns out that everything is under his control, and he has never stopped wanting to kill me!
"In addition, the people of the [Taiyin Society] also reached an agreement with him, and originally wanted to separate you from the "Demon Refining" and directly strangle it in the cradle, but unfortunately you didn't let them get their wish, and in the end they wanted to destroy you together. Yuluo said with a sigh.
I squatted in pain with my head in my hands, it turned out that from the moment I came into contact with Jingwen, I had become someone else's knife and meat, then Luo Yin was also sent to supervise me, and Uncle Bai was also confirmed, everyone approached me for the same purpose, right?
"What should I do?" I asked bitterly.
Youluo looked into the distance, but said in an unusually firm tone: "Help refine the demon and complete the justice that belongs to it!"
These words immediately stirred up the boiling of blood in my body....
