Chapter 196: A Pot of Wine
Chapter 196: A Pot of Wine
The gray-robed man stood on the city wall, as if he was sighing something, he and the city should have a lot of emotions.
"This wall has been going on for countless years, and no one has been able to break through it." On the city wall, a person slowly walked up, it was the old sin who had never left, even if it was his home in the city of innocence, he would never leave, and more importantly, he was waiting for a person, waiting for that person to come back.
"The people in the city are gone, why are you still staying, is there anything unfinished?" The gray-robed man asked without raising his head, his mind was all on the city wall.
"I'm waiting for someone, this is the original agreement, I also scalded a pot of wine, and waited for him to come back, but the wine has become mellow, I don't know if it's a thing." The old sin was holding a pot of wine in his hand, and a stone table and chair appeared in front of him, and he sat down.
"I think since someone is waiting for him, he will naturally come back, but he may not have thought that the world is changing too quickly, only this city wall is still like that, it has never changed." The gray-robed man turned around and sat down on the stone chair, with a glass of wine in his hand, and said this.
The old man laughed, looked at the gray-robed man in front of him, and said, "The taste of this wine should not have changed." β
"Five hundred years of dragon and snake wine, I'm right."
"I've been waiting for you for so long, and I'm finally back, if you come back a little later, I really won't see you with this old bone." Sin Lao began to wake up in the demon race, and he hadn't smiled so heartily for a long time.
"It's still in catch-up, but this Demon Emperor seems to have a big move, and I don't understand it, but I don't care about him for now, with this wine, even if it is ten Demon Emperors, I'm not afraid of him." The gray-robed man drank wine and looked into the distance, arrogant.
The Demon Emperor of the Demon Clan has become the commander of the light pole, this is something that has never been done before, and it will definitely not be simple to make the Demon Emperor even if he abandons the plan that the entire Demon Clan has to complete, this point is clear to the gray-robed man and the old man in their hearts, the strength of the Demon Emperor is already very strong, if it is stronger, it will be tantamount to a disaster for Zhongyu.
"In the end, we are all just chess pieces, who wins and who loses in the end, and how we can call the shots, we only need to take our own steps, it is enough." The gray-robed man's tone was a little helpless, but he could see that there was a strong unwillingness in it.
The old man's eyes darkened, and he naturally knew the deep meaning of this sentence, "Whether it's a chess piece, or a person who plays chess, I'm already old, as long as Zhongyu doesn't break, I can be regarded as a peace of mind to die, people live for a lifetime, how can it not be a game of chess, everyone is a chess piece, everyone is a chess player, if you want to jump out, then you have to have the power to break free from the rules, otherwise you will become an outcast, but you don't even have the qualifications." β
A pot of wine, a few glasses down, and it was empty.
And the ancient one and five people in the other place are under unprecedented pressure, and the place they went to in the ancient area is naturally the place where he obtained the inheritance, that is, the land of the Nine Secluded Places, at the beginning, his strength was not enough to enter many of them, but now it is different, they have enough strength to open the Hell, in this Hell, no matter how strong the person is, they will bear the pressure beyond their own limit, and the effect of this pressure is also very simple, that is, to squeeze the potential, constantly squeeze the potential.
They will continue to get stronger, but this pressure will also become more and more huge as their strength grows, this is the characteristic of the Death Prison, in fact, this is similar to the ladder that Gu Yang walked at the beginning, but this Death Prison seems to be more terrifying, not that the pressure in it will be much stronger than the ladder, but because there is not only pressure in the Death Prison, but also the torture of the heart, which is the most dangerous part, and it is also a torture that may die at any time.
Zhongyu spent day after day in such a dead atmosphere, the whole Zhongyu only has two creatures in the gray robe and the old man, this kind of silence can only be called dead silence, this world is about to come to an end, even if the demon emperor is defeated in the end, Zhongyu pressure cannot be maintained for long, a world from beginning to end is a cycle, a fate that cannot be escaped, although the world is destroyed, but the creatures in the world still uphold his belief to live, this is Zhongyu's greatest gratification, and it is also the gray robe people they strive for, That last little bit gives dignity to the world.
The world of Zhongyu was originally huge, the ancient wasteland was nothing in front of it, there was the realm of the sky in Zhongyu, and the human world had three worlds in the land of nine seclusions, but in the great war of the year, the realm of the firmament was completely destroyed, and the land of nine secluds was broken into pieces, and the human world was also the corner of Zhongyu left, and a strong world that could be maintained for countless years was because of the existence of the demons, which continued to weaken, and now, it has come to an end.
What kind of feeling it is for the creatures in a world to witness the destruction of their own world, perhaps only those creatures in this world know that no matter how much outsiders speculate, it is useless.
Counting the living in the Desolate Hall and the Innocence City, there are less than 100,000 living beings left in the entire Zhongyu, and the original powerhouses of the ten thousand races are now left with humans and the desolate race, and the bitterness in this is only known to those living beings, these things, the gray-robed people know, the ancient one knows, and the sin elder also knows.
Life and death may not be nothing, but the hatred with the Demon Emperor and the Demon Race will come to an end after all, and no matter who is destroyed in the end, it will return to dust. Those who fail cannot see the future, and success is only a few more steps, and what they see is not necessarily much.
And the gray-robed man in the sinless city chatted happily with the sin elder, like an old friend who had not seen him for many years, but it was not like that, although the gray-robed man was superb, he always respected the sin elder, this respect was like an indelible thing from the bones, no matter how high the strength of the gray-robed man was, it would still not change.
"Old Sinner, I see that the Demon Emperor is about to come out, Zhongyu is afraid that he will not be able to survive this battle, and there will be no obstacles in other places, but if the Guilty City is destroyed, I can't accept it in my heart." The gray-robed man didn't know where to take out a game of chess, and played against the old man, but the two of them played chess a little scattered, and they couldn't see who won and who lost.
"I don't want to do anything in an old city, the city is gone, it can be seen for thousands of years, if the people are gone, then it is impossible for eternal life to bloom the same flowers, those fetters of yours, I will help you protect them well, and it can be regarded as not living up to your entrustment, but there is one person I am not optimistic about." The sin elder said, feeling sorry for that person in his tone.
The gray-robed man laughed, "There will always be a person who should appear, so I can't hurry." The words of the gray-robed man, the old man didn't know who he was referring to, like referring to the Demon Emperor, and like referring to the person in the mouth of the old man.
"I haven't seen you for so long, but I think this big battle seems to be about to begin." After the old man finished speaking, a void door opened, and a scholar in cloth walked out.
"I have a pot of wine here, now that I've seen you, how about drinking it together?" The scholar was holding a green jade wine jug in his hand, but he didn't have a little bookish air, and he was like a monk who stole wine and meat, which was extremely weird.
The gray-robed man smiled, and there was an extra stone chair beside him, "Seeing each other is fate, drinking this pot of wine together, it can be regarded as a circle of fate." Hearing this, the sin elder also smiled and made a gesture of please.
"Haha, it's really refreshing, my wine is not ordinary, if you can drink it, it is your ability." The scholar in cloth opened the wine jug, and countless drops of wine from the jug turned into mist and dispersed in the world, which actually penetrated into the space and was difficult to find.
The gray-robed man just smiled when he saw it, his left hand shook slightly, and the space fluctuated, but the wine was shaken out alive, fell into the cup, and drank it forcefully.
"This wine doesn't seem to have anything to do with me, and I can't drink this wine with my slight skills." As he spoke, the sinner turned his glass upside down, and said no more.
And the scholar in cloth, the smell of wine lingering in his hand, actually entered his mouth along the road of nine songs, this wonder, not lost to the shock of the gray-robed man, and the technique is even more gorgeous.
"As the old saying goes, there are fewer than a thousand cups of wine for a confidant, but I don't have a thousand cups here, and drinking here is the end of fate, and after drinking this causal wine, the cause and effect will be scattered." The scholar in cloth walked away, as if he was about to leave.
It's just that at this time, the gray-robed man suddenly spoke, "A cup of causal wine, but cause and effect, but cause and effect have always been inseparable, today I will come up with a reason, what I want your head to be, Lord Demon Emperor." β
At this time, the old sin had already gone down to the city, and when he saw the person he wanted to see, there was no point in continuing to stay, and he would only become a burden to the gray-robed man.
The Demon Emperor is dressed like this, a drunken scholar, it turned out to be the Demon Emperor who destroyed the strongest era, anyone would be unbelievable, only the gray-robed man seemed to know everything, and looked at the Demon Emperor's body slowly turning around.
"Should I call you Demon Hunter, or should I call you, dear brother." The Demon Emperor turned around and smiled, as if everything was under his control.
"You are a demon, I am a human being, you and I are naturally not brothers, I just occupy your brother's body." The gray-robed man slowly took off his hat, revealing a face of vicissitudes, if this face is carefully distinguished, it is actually seven points similar to Gu Yang, if Gu Yang is here, he will definitely feel surprised.
"I prefer to be called an old soul because I'm a human being, not you filthy demons." The ancient soul, who had been missing for many years and had been waiting for by the old man, did not die, but gained tremendous strength and stood in front of the Demon Emperor.
The Demon Emperor smiled even brighter, and examined the ancient soul's body several times.
"It seems that my brother's hatred for me is really deep, and he would rather give his body and strength to you completely than come and kill me, he is really my good brother." When the Demon Emperor said this, every word was full of ruthlessness.
"I may not have been your opponent before, but I've been plotting for so long, and now even the brood has to surrender to me, do you think you have a chance to win, Gu Soul." Faces appeared in the body of the Demon Emperor, this is the power of the mother nest, it can be conceived, the demon creatures, as long as the demon nest is not destroyed, the demon can exist forever.
"It turns out that the Demon Emperor looks like this, but I have gained knowledge." A voice came, but it was not what the ancient soul said, but behind the ancient soul, a door to space opened, and out of it came out of the ancient one and five people, although they were constantly improving their cultivation, but the situation outside was always paying attention, since the demon emperor appeared, then the last battle began.
The Demon Emperor's face was still very good, and he didn't change his smile, but he suddenly turned around and turned his back to everyone and said: "You are too naΓ―ve after all, even if you kill me, you can't leave here, you can only destroy with this game of chess, this is an iron law, you don't understand, I didn't understand before, but now I understand, but it's too late." β
Everyone is a pawn, and no one can escape.
