The sound of the tip of the knife piercing the front of Mo Zhai's clothes was particularly harsh in the stone room at this time.
In the stone chamber, there was silence again.
"Soul Breaker?" Mo Zhai stared blankly at the tip of the knife stabbing out from his chest, and surprise gradually crept up his eyebrows, the black and shiny knife glowing with a murderous luster under the flickering firelight!
He slowly, slowly turned his head, looked at Lin Cong's gloomy cheeks behind him, gasped a few times, and squeezed out a few words from between his teeth in a hoarse voice: "Why?"
"I will be loyal to Xiao Shizhu, do my best for the Nine Shadows Country, and fight for the future light of the underworld!" Lin Cong replied coldly, word by word, a hint of pride flashing in his eyes.
"Why?" Mo Zhai, who was still puzzled, repeated the question again. A trace of blood slowly oozed from the corner of his mouth.
He never dreamed that he would be put on a show by a trusted ghost again. And after this betrayal, even if he wanted to start all over again, he didn't have the courage and opportunity.
In front of the Broken Soul Iron, except for the divine soul, which can barely survive, the rest of the ghosts will definitely not be able to survive if they are not pulled out in time. What's more, Lin Cong's knife stabbed him straight into the heart.
"Even if the world is dark, there is hope for me to work on. Seeing that he could still speak fluently, Lin Cong did not hesitate to turn the sharp knife in his hand a few times from side to side, and replied proudly: "Xiao Ye, the king of the Nine Shadows, is the hope of this world, and you are just a monster, a complete monster, you should sleep forever!"
"Is Xiao Shizhu again?" Mo Zhai turned his head again with difficulty, his hanging hands were already powerless to lift, and he could even feel that the soul qi in his body was rapidly decreasing, so he had to sigh lightly, and then coughed violently, blood was pouring from his mouth and nose, and his eyes were full of resentment and unwillingness.
He watched as his body slowly spread full of holes, and after his hands and feet, body and internal organs turned into dust little by little, the resentment and unwillingness in his eyes did not subside.
It wasn't until his body was all gone, that Lin Cong breathed a sigh of relief, looked down at the pile of dust at his feet, shook off the dust on the blade, and slowly put away the long knife.
A generation of heroes in the underworld, Mo Zhai, one of the many bigwigs, just like this, quietly scattered in this dark passage that no one cared about.
"Master Shui. When she heard the sound of the knife being sheathed, Ying Ying called softly and said humbly: "You know the righteousness, please accept our worship." ”。 After finishing his speech, he bowed his hand to Lin Cong and bowed deeply.
"I can't help it, I guess Your Excellency is the famous national teacher. Lin Cong was a little flattered, waved his hand and walked over, held Ying Ying's arms, and said with a smile: "The lord specially explained, let me find an opportunity to kill Mo Zhai before the national teacher makes a move, so as not to hurt you; ”。
Ying Ying was suddenly stunned when she heard this, and then straightened her waist and her body trembled, and her face towards Lin Cong was full of consternation, and she came to her senses after a while, but she still asked blankly: "This, this, is this really the lord's order?"
Between the eyebrows, the incredible color that emerged was a little heavier.
"Of course, not only the lord, but even the mother of the country agreed with me to do this, and besides, even if I had the courage to go undercover and lurk, I would not dare to make up the king's destiny. Lin Cong smiled disapprenously, turned his eyes to look at Lao Li, looked him up and down, and praised him: "Brother, your nine-section whip dance is good, I will definitely mention you to the lord." ”。
"Thank you for your praise and support. Lao Li thanked him, smirked and scratched his head.
Ying Ying's heart warmed, and she was stunned again. She never expected that Xiao Shizhu would consider her own safety, and she was secretly happy in her heart when she was excited, as if she had eaten honey.
"Master Shui, the lord also specially explained to us. Just when Ying Ying was stunned, her disciple had already said: "I must convey to you, your hidden mission is over, and the next thing is to return to Yuque City with us and enjoy the high-ranking officials." ”。
He struck a blow without hesitation just now, and he was fast and accurate, and he had already won the admiration of Su Tianju's disciples, and the tone of his speech at the moment was also extremely polite.
But in the face of the sudden addition of an official to the knighthood, Lin Cong was still a little uncomfortable, just smirking but didn't know what to say.
After a while, he suddenly put away his smile, and Lin Cong, who seemed to have thought of something, patted his head and said, "I still have one more thing to do before leaving." ”。
"What's the matter?" asked Yingying and the others.
"I have to imitate Mo Zhai's tone and handwriting, and pass a message to the ink masters in the far away Moro Mountain, telling them that Mo Zhai has taken me, Meng Sheng, and Tian Xiangzi to sneak into the Nine Shadows Kingdom to steal the country. Lin Cong's face was solemn, and he said thoughtfully: "Only in this way can Mo Zhai's death become a secret that is not known to ghosts, and it can also create an opportunity for the lord to secretly manipulate the Mo family." ”。
"Hmm. Ying Ying pondered for a moment, and slightly bowed her head in agreement with this plan that kills two birds with one stone.
And Lin Cong's coarseness and fineness, and his work did not leak, also made Lao Li's admiration for him a little heavier in his heart, and he said urgently: "I'll go get pen and ink." After that, he hurriedly turned around and ran away towards the way he came......
The raindrops fell lightly, with a refreshing coldness, and hit the buildings in the Yuque Palace in the sinkhole.
Xiao Shizhu slowly walked to the attic door of Juexiangyuan, staring at the rain slowly sliding down the stone dragons standing on both sides of the stone steps.
He was not happy or angry, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Three days ago, all the relics of platinum were brought back, and today, they will be buried in the martyr's platform outside the city, and a monument will be built on the platform.
Xiao Shizhu got the scene and led hundreds of civil and military officials to offer incense to the platinum, but he was also afraid of being there, afraid of facing the platinum wife, children and parents, the sad eyes, and the terrible cry.
"Aren't you eating breakfast?" the ghost mother walked up to him with hot porridge and said softly, "Let's eat as much as you want." ”。
The wind and rain became more urgent, forming a dense mist in the air, erecting between heaven and earth, blurring Xiao Shizhu's vision.
"Nope. Xiao Shizhu shook his head slightly, sighed lightly, and said leisurely: "It's still good in the world, at least when I am in the world, there is no war in the country I live in." ”。
He doesn't know why, his chest is always full of melancholy today, but he is sentimental.
Maybe it's the damn weather.
"Are there many countries in the world?" The ghost mother, who had never been to the world, deliberately diverted Xiao Shizhu's attention, so she asked curiously.
"There are more than two hundred. Xiao Shizhu nodded, continued to look ahead, and said, "If you can, I want to go back and have a look." Tall buildings, roads, cars, airplanes, and my favorite computers and games. ”。
"Okay, when the underworld is settled, I'll go back with you. The ghost mother blew the porridge, handed it to him, and said categorically: "But you have to drink the porridge first, and you can't eat breakfast at all." ”。
"Yes. Xiao Shizhu's mood was a little happier, he smiled lightly and took the bowl, and said: "But now you and I, standing on the street of the world, no one can see it." ”。
After saying that, he blew it indiscriminately and drank it......
An hour later, Xiao Shizhu and the ghost mother, under the escort of the forbidden army, arrived in front of the martyr's platform outside the north of the city as scheduled. The civil and military officials have arrived here to wait, and Platinum's wife, children and old parents are also among them.
The faces of the ghosts were full of sorrow, and the wind and rain were full of sorrow; in the past, Bai Jin was very kind in the court and in the army. And if it weren't for him guarding the pass, Du Ziren's brute soldiers would have gone all the way north, and it would be inevitable to burn, kill and loot at that time.
Xiao Shizhu deliberately avoided the eyes of the platinum family, slowly walked to the stage and stood still, and looked up at the two stone tablets on the high platform.
One is King Kong and the other is white gold.
The rain was still falling, but it was lighter and misty. The choking sound was in the rain and never stopped.
"My lord. The ceremonial official handed over the incense, Xiao Shizhu pushed away the paper umbrella that Qinglan held above his head, took the fragrance and slowly climbed onto the stone platform under the gaze of the ghosts.
Every step is so heavy.
"Without you, we wouldn't be at peace today. Xiao Shizhu whispered, stood in front of the platinum stele, bowed deeply three times without hesitation, and inserted the fragrance in his hand into the stone furnace in front of the stele.
And that's just a situation, all ghosts know that a soul without a body but a body is left with nothing once it dies.
This is the saddest thing for all beings in the underworld.
Xiao Shizhu was still standing in the wind and rain, quietly looking at the stone tablet in front of him, his hands hidden in his sleeves clenched hard; he wanted to avenge Platinum immediately, but many restrictions made it difficult for him to achieve revenge; he suddenly felt that he was still a small character, and frustration rose in his heart.
According to the arrangement of the ceremonial officer, the minister stepped forward in order to incense the platinum, and then retreated in order. Xiao Shizhu did not move, like a sculpture, standing quietly in place. Let the rain blow against his face, sliding down the ends of his hair and cheeks.
"There will be a chance. The ghost mother stepped forward with an umbrella, propped it up on Xiao Shizhu's head, and said softly: "Let Du Ziren pay ten times the price." ”。
As soon as these words came out, Xiao Shizhu suddenly felt energetic, nodded emphatically, and was about to comfort Bai Jin's family, when he heard a voice: "Uncle Xiao!" came from behind him.
When he turned his head, he saw Bai Qi, Bai Qi, Bai Qi, and Bai Qi, the sons and daughters of Bai Jin, running towards him.
When he was on Shuoyue Island, Xiao Shizhu often went to Platinum's house to eat, so Platinum's children always called him uncle.
"Really?" The two little ghosts stood still in front of him, their red eyes burst out with inquiring eyes, and they all looked at Xiao Shizhu, and asked in unison: "Can you avenge your father?"
"Yes. Xiao Shizhu didn't dodge anymore, met their gaze honestly, and reached out to caress their white cheeks: "Uncle promises you that you will definitely make the enemy pay ten times the price." ”。
