Chapter 31: The Death of Zheng Ting
Zheng Ting was carrying two convenience bags in his hands, which contained meat and vegetables.
The daughter said that she wanted to eat braised pork, and even though she got off work a little late, he still went to the supermarket that was open late to buy fresh ingredients.
I plan to get up early tomorrow to make it for her, secretly put it in a thermos lunch box, and take it to school to eat at noon.
Eating something so greasy in the morning is not good for the body.
Lao Zheng lives in an old building built in the 90s of the last century, and the hygiene is quite clean, but the overall style is a little out of place in this modern international metropolis.
Full of nostalgia.
It's not that I don't want to change, and it's not that I can't afford it at all, but the main thing is that the corresponding school district here is very good.
For the sake of the children.
He and his daughter-in-law lived in this old and dilapidated house without hesitation, without any complaints.
Walking in the slightly chaotic alley, some dim street lamps shone on him, and there was silence all around.
I can't even see a figure.
Those who live here are either parents who want their children to go to school, or those who are nostalgic for the old days.
At eight or nine o'clock in the evening, except for some stray cats and dogs, there are hardly any other living creatures in sight.
Zheng Ting is also used to it.
The border of the capital is generally very safe.
Besides, he used to be a master in the world who slashed demons and eliminated demons with Wan Guosong, even if he turned to internal service, he still did not lack courage.
He thought as he walked, wondering if his daughter had passed the math test today.
The little girl who just entered junior high school was the same as when he was a child, her Chinese was very good, and her math was very poor.
When I look at the numbers, formulas, and so on, I feel sleepy......
Hey, it's really not good, so I'm going to hire a one-on-one teacher to make up for her?
At this time, a big black cat suddenly came out of the pile of debris and looked at Zheng Ting and "meowed".
scared Lao Zheng, who was a little distracted.
glared at the big black cat that could often be seen: "What are you doing?" It's okay to scare people, right? β
The big black cat ignored him and quickly ran away.
Zheng Ting suddenly frowned slightly, feeling that something was wrong.
sighed, smiled bitterly and laughed at himself: "Since the strength has decreased sharply, the perception ability has deteriorated......"
Hodi!
A face appeared in front of him without warning.
The cloak was scattered, his face was pale, and a pair of eyes rolled up vigorously, almost all of them were whites, and blood flowed down the corners of his eyes.
If you were an ordinary person, you would probably have to be scared on the spot.
Zheng Ting just frowned, looking at this terrifying face with a serious face.
Slowly put down the convenience bag in both hands, there are eggs in it, and you can't throw it directly on the ground.
"What are you going to do?" He asked in a deep voice.
Even if he was hit hard back then, his strength was not nine out of ten, but the courage in his bones never diminished.
There was a cold, menacing laugh in the air.
The floating woman's head grinned and snorted at him.
A light suddenly shot out from the Heavenly Court Token on Lao Zheng's body.
Like a sharp sword, it cut this head in half on the spot.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
All the street lamps in the alley suddenly burst one by one.
There was a sudden darkness all around.
Someone asked in Zheng Ting's ear, "Where is Song Xiao?" β
Then more cold voices came from all directionsβ
"Where is Song Xiao?"
"Tell us, where is he?"
"Where? Where is it? β
Zheng Ting's face was calm, and through the token, he used his mind to convey a message to Song Xiao in the past-
"Be careful, there's a yin spirit looking for you!"
Then he said coldly: "Pretending to be a ghost, get away from me!" β
In an instant, the Heavenly Court Token erupted with a strong coercion, rushing in all directions.
Immediately, there were several terrible screams that ordinary people could not hear.
Those strange yin spirits were scattered on the spot.
Zheng Ting did not let his guard down because of this.
The other party dared to intercept him in the capital, a man from the heavenly court, and asked Song Xiao's whereabouts, it could not be a lonely ghost, and he must have something to rely on.
At this moment, a shadow emerged from the darkness, almost completely merging with the darkness of the night without street lights.
Clapping your hands gently.
"It's really worthy of being a former master of the Heavenly Court, and he can still kill so many of my subordinates even if he is abolished."
Zheng Ting stared at the black shadow: "Who are you?" β
The black shadow said: "You don't need to know, you don't want to die, just hurry up and tell me Song Xiao's whereabouts, think about your family." β
Zheng Ting said in a deep voice: "The whereabouts of the Heavenly Court field staff are uncertain, how do I know where he is?" β
The dark shadow voice laughed coldly, "No, no, no, you know. Don't try to test my patience, either, tell me where he is now; Or, you, and your whole family...... Gotta die tonight! β
Zheng Ting said: "No matter who you are, if you are an enemy of Heavenly Court, you will not end well. β
"Hahaha," the black shadow smiled disdainfully, "what has become of your heavenly court?" Do you still think that you are the messenger of the Chinese Protoss, and that you are the embodiment of justice? β
As he spoke, an extremely powerful and cold spiritual force surged towards Zheng Ting like a flash flood.
Rumble!
The Heavenly Court Token on Zheng Ting's body erupted into a brilliant light that ordinary people could not see with the naked eye.
Keep this psychic attack out.
At the same time, the middle-aged man, who had not moved for many years, rushed towards the black shadow opposite like a leopard.
The left hand pinched the fist print, punched it over, and a thunderbolt lit up!
In his right hand, an ancient short sword, the blade of which was incomparably sharp, stabbed at this black shadow.
Boom!
A majestic energy burst out of the black shadow's hand.
The protection formed by the Heavenly Court Token was vulnerable in the face of this terrifying force.
The thunder vanished, and the dagger fell to the ground.
Zheng Ting spurted out a mouthful of blood, and his body flew backwards and fell more than ten meters away.
After a few struggles, he couldn't get back up.
The black shadow swished and appeared in front of him, looking condescendingly.
"You're ruined!" He said, "This is the last chance, where is Song Xiao?" β
Zheng Ting coughed twice, reached out to wipe the blood on the corner of his mouth, and said, "I really don't know...... You're so capable, why don't you find it yourself? β
The black shadow said: "So, you don't want to say it?" Then go die! β
Zheng Ting's neck was suddenly choked by an invisible force, his face instantly turned red, his eyes widened, and his body subconsciously struggled desperately.
The black shadow mocked, "Heavenly Court? Scold! β
Zheng Ting had fallen into a coma at this time.
Countless images flashed in his mindβ
He was young, in his prime, and his hair was thick.
The first mission was to rush into a small town house with Wan Guosong, and the two worked together to kill a monster that was killing people and sucking blood, saving an innocent child.
That year, he was already an "old man" in the Heavenly Court, and he took the newcomer on a seemingly simple mission, but encountered a powerful monster.
In order to protect the newcomer, he fought back even though he knew that he was invincible, and was seriously injured.
If it weren't for the elixir brought back by the great director Huang Yongxian, I am afraid that he would have left this splendid world at that time.
That year, he switched from field to internal service and married a girl who was also an internal officer.
He has begun to lose his hair, and finally has a home.
That year his daughter was born, and he was as happy as a child.
In the group photo of the family of three, he was already smiling brightly with thinning hair.
That year, in order to take better care of the children, his wife discussed with him and wanted to leave his job and go home to be a full-time wife.
He agreed, and since then, the cigarettes and drinks he smoked, and the entertainment with the outside world have all been discounted.
But he has no regrets and enjoys it.
The first time his daughter called dad that year, he burst into tears.
That year, when my daughter went to kindergarten, she cried and hugged his neck and said that I wanted to play with my father, he was full of reluctance and sad for a long time.
That year, my daughter went to elementary school......
The first essay my daughter wrote that year β I love my dad.
His eyes turned red when he saw it.
That year, his wife discussed with him, should he want another one to be a companion for his daughter?
He refused, saying that all the love was in his daughter, and one was enough.
That year......
Those years......
Countless dusty images sealed in the corners of his memory, which are difficult to think about when he thinks about them, all appear in his mind at this moment.
After so many years, he once thought that life could be so peaceful forever.
I also felt that the blood in my body had no power to boil.
Until a handsome face full of youth and vitality flashed in his mind, yes, Song Xiao.
The young man gave him hope.
Whether it is talent, understanding or that desperate attitude, he is very happy.
It's like seeing yourself back then.
But he knows very well that Song Xiao is much better than him back then!
Especially after the battle in the depths of the mountains of Nanjiang County, he even had a feeling that with such a young man, Heavenly Court would inevitably rise again.
It was a very strong feeling.
It was this young man who made the blood in his body, which had been dormant for many years, warm again.
So...... Regret it?
No.
Even if he is like a soft bone today, he kneels on the ground and begs for mercy.
And betray all the information about Song Xiao, and the enemy will not let him go!
I've been dealing with demons and monsters for so many years.
He understands.
Resentment?
No.
From the day he joined Heavenly Court, he was ready to sacrifice at any time.
It's just very reluctant!
How much do you want to see your daughter again, how much do you want to hear her call her dad again, let her put her arms around her neck, show off to her mother, and see her mother jealous?
Zheng Ting's world gradually became darker.
Gradually silent.
Then.
A somewhat muddy illusory shadow slowly sat up from the fallen Zheng Ting, looking around a little blankly.
And then slowly...... Floated up.
The black shadow sneered: "Can you be a god after death?" In my case, death is the beginning! β
Rumble!
Brilliant golden light suddenly shot out from a token, enveloping the illusory figure.
erupted with an incomparably strong and dazzling ...... The invisible light of the world!
On the other plane, the shadow looked horrified and subconsciously stepped back, as if a little afraid.
I didn't want that golden light to touch me.
His lips trembled slightly as he stared at the phantom shadow shrouded in golden light, trying to say something, but he didn't open his mouth.
He was also born and raised in this land...... until death.
Speaking of disdain for Heavenly Court, it is actually a matter after death.
When he was alive, he wasn't so bold.
At this time, the bright golden light in front of him finally aroused his awe engraved in his bones of Heavenly Court again.
He's dead...... Just a yin spirit; The people of Heaven are dead, but they are ...... Yin God!
A Yin God who is protected by the power of merit!
In the golden light, Lao Zheng in the state of Yin Spirit was still a little dazed, as if he didn't realize that he was dead.
He looked around.
Finally, his gaze fell on the black shadow.
