Chapter 39: The Choice
"It's fine. ”
I returned to a courtyard in Meng Jun's Villa, where Meng Yunzhong temporarily lived, and he was slightly relieved to see me come back.
"Yun Zhong, I have something to tell you. ”
"What's the matter? Could it be that the Returning Dust Immortal is deliberately trying to embarrass you?"
I shook my head, and was indeed hesitant to tell him about Wingwing and the monster. But it seems that the monster has almost recovered, and I am afraid that it will break through the ground soon, so let him know it earlier, and be prepared.
"Not really. I paused, and then sighed: "I'm afraid that this Suining Town will inevitably have a bloody storm." ”
Meng Yunzhong was slightly taken aback: "What do you mean by this?"
"Yun Zhong, I once told you that Yun Niang is a refuge grass demon, in fact, there is more than one monster in the Fu Yuan Waifu. ”
"Then Master Fu won't be a demon too, right?"
"Although I have a lot of guesses about his identity, I can conclude that he is not a demon, because a demon is often filled with demonic energy, and it is very difficult to deliberately hide it, not to mention that Young Master Fu is full of clear energy, naturally not. However, his wife and concubine are all demons. ”
"So, his wife is also a demon?"
"Not bad. Moreover, this lady of his is not like Yun Niang who is a good type, her real body is a snake, and she is a real demon. Moreover, on the outskirts of Suining Town, she secretly raised an evil demon. ”
"Demons, too?"
"There is a difference between a demon and a demon, you must have heard of it, there have always been gods and demons, so the power of demons is much stronger than that of demons. Before I met you, I had also been to the Demon Domain, and if it weren't for the protection of the owner of this divine sword, I am afraid that I would have died in the Demon Domain. ”
"I didn't expect that in addition to mortals, there are these aliens in this heaven and earth. Compared to them, mortals are indeed too small. Meng Yunzhong seemed to have a trace of melancholy, and he couldn't accept it for a while.
"This is not the case, although mortals do not have innate spiritual powers, they are protected by the gods. Moreover, among the Six Realms, mortals can be called the most perfect race. They relied on their wisdom to establish their own system and create a beautiful world, and even the gods were very envious of mortals.
According to legend, since the great god Pangu opened the world with a divine axe, he also turned into the mountains and rivers of the world, leaving only a wordless heavenly book. Later, the three great gods of Fuxi, Nuwa, and Shennong, adhering to the prophecy of the wordless Book of Heaven, opened up and established the divine realm, created mortals in the most perfect form of the Six Realms, and bestowed wisdom on mortals, setting the order of harmonious coexistence between the two worlds of humans and gods. Later, the three great gods also went into seclusion, and now the god realm is ruled by the Emperor of Heaven, and there is a fairy realm below. Immortals are all mortals with immortal fate or spiritual creatures in the world who have been cultivated through tribulations. The Demon Domain, which was founded by Chi You during the Yellow Emperor period, is powerful and has been in constant dispute with the God Realm. The many catastrophes and disputes experienced in human history are also related to the dispute between gods and demons. The demons are ferocious by nature, so those demons left behind in the world often wantonly cause killing, or bring disasters to other creatures. My mother was also killed by the demons......"
"In this way, isn't Suining Town going to ......?"
"This demon raised by Soft Wings injured me many years ago, and his strength is very strong, so Guichen will call me over and borrow the Sword of Melting from me to deal with him. ”
"Can't even the Returning Immortals deal with him?"
"Although the immortals are also proficient in spiritual power, the strength of the demon clan is comparable to that of the gods, and Guichen may not be his opponent. ”
"But...... If you don't have the Sword of Fusion, then your poisonous ......"
I sighed slightly, even if I wasn't poisoned, and I didn't have the Sword of Fusion, I would still fight that monster. Not to mention that it was all because of him and I who have been trapped in the Demon Domain for more than 40 years, but also because his mother's death may have nothing to do with him. How can I not keep the vow I made to my mother? To this day, my mother's spirit is still not liberated, and if I do not fulfill my promise, sooner or later, I will be destroyed myself. It's just that I never thought that my parting with Meng Yunzhong would come so quickly.
But think about it, with the help of returning to the dust, plus the sword of Cangrong, it is not without a chance of winning. But just as Meng Yunzhong was worried, without the divine power of the Cangrong Sword, the demon poison in my body was only afraid that it would attack soon.
"Yun Zhong, if that monster really comes out, you and Bo Yi will find a way to leave with the people in the town. If I ...... I can't see you again, so you and You Ruojun ...... Let's live a dull life. ”
"Yinluo, why are you doing this?"
I shook his hand and smiled slightly, "I'm also planning for the worst." Since the poison in me is under the fox demon, then she may have a way to suppress it, so I'll go to her and ask. ”
Meng Yunzhong's face was sad, but he could only be helpless, he knew that he couldn't help me.
He nodded, his grip on my hand tightened, and then let go.
After a few days of returning, some weeds have grown next to the wooden house, which looks a little desolate. The fox demon still stood bewitchingly across from me, stroking the hair around his sideburns.
"Your conditions are really getting more and more. ”
"It's not a condition. ”
"Then how do you conclude that I will help you?"
"Fox demon, if you think I'm here to beg you, then you don't have to. It is imperative to get rid of this monster, and if it really kills me, I don't care......"
"In that case, why did you come to me? Could it be for that man?" the fox demon smiled coldly, "You can save it, if you want to stay with a mortal for a lifetime, it is too luxurious for a demon." ”
"Since you know many secrets, then you should also know that it was the demons who killed my mother in the first place, and I once swore a poisonous oath to avenge my mother and kill all the demons. I was injured by this monster back then.,So,I guess he's probably the murderer of my mother.,If I can get rid of him.,It's also avenging my mother.,Although I can't kill all the demons.,But I didn't completely break my oath to my mother.。 After that, perhaps, I can really live peacefully with him for many years, even if it is short, but I will not leave regrets. ”
"Hey...... What an infatuated demon...... It's a pity that I can only tell you a secret if you complete the deal with me, and perhaps, after you know that secret, you won't think like you do now. Let me tell you, there is no cure for my desires, and I have no way to suppress them. Now that you can rely on the sword of Cangrong to suppress it temporarily, it can be regarded as a great luck, if you really don't have this sword, then it will really be a lack of skills. ”
"Really, isn't it?"
The fox demon turned around and shook his head slightly, but immediately turned around and said:
"However, if you are willing to transfer this poison and find a substitute for the dead ghost, won't everyone be happy?"
"Transfer? Do you want me to ...... with someone else?"
The fox demon smiled charmingly: "You are a demon, why do you have to follow the ethics and morals of mortals?"
"I ...... Can't do it......"
The fox demon smiled again: "Okay, I won't go around the bend with you, in fact, there is not only one way to transfer this poison out." ”
I had more hope in my heart: "Really?"
"All demon hunters have a treasure that is pure and spiritual, and this treasure can transfer the desire poison, but this treasure must be on the demon catcher to have this effect. ”
I thought about it carefully, when I took the medicine for You Ruojun that day, that Xu Xuan Spirit Bead could indeed absorb all kinds of power into it. According to what the fox demon said, if this spirit bead was on You Ruojun that day, then when I cast the power of True Yuan, the poison would also be transferred to You Ruojun who wore it through the spirit bead. But the spirit bead has been forcibly expelled by You Ruojun, so it can't absorb the demon poison.
In this way, the treasure on the demon catcher is originally a medium and a weapon, which can absorb all the power of the enemy at a critical moment, and then use this power to release the pure spirit qi to form an enchantment and protect the wearer's life. It's just that this treasure is used at a very long interval, and once used, it will be dormant for a long time. And if the enemy has spiritual power that is not conducive to the demon catcher, the spirit bead will not be able to convert such spiritual power into pure spirit qi, but will instead be transferred to the demon catcher.
"I know what you're thinking, You Ruojun's treasure is no longer usable, so you need to find another demon catcher. ”
Another Demon Catcher...... My thoughts flashed, and the image of Gishu became clearer. However, he doesn't look like a damned person after all, so what reason do I have to transfer the demon poison to him?
"Is there no other way?"
"No more. Weigh the pros and cons, you better think about it. Hehe...... By the way, time is running out, don't forget my deal with you!"
The fox demon's smile gradually dissipated in the air, and her figure had disappeared, leaving only the cliff clear. Although I am a demon and he is a demon hunter, I can't coexist with him, but if I want to harm his life for no reason, I always have lingering palpitations.
The conversation with the fox demon not only did not give me much hope, but it made me worry a lot. Back at Meng Jun Villa, as soon as Meng Yunzhong saw me, he hurriedly walked in front of me.
"How? Is there a way?"
"Method...... Yes, yes, but ......" I swallowed the words anyway. I looked at him, watched carefully, and if I really did what the fox demon said, then for him, I would really become an evil demon who harmed people's lives for no reason.
Meng Yunzhong frowned slightly, from his eyes, I knew that he was also guessing, but how could he guess such a method?
At this moment, there was a commotion outside the house, and the noisy voices were accompanied by a few wails, and I seemed to smell death again. Sure enough, as soon as You Ruojun recovered, Mengjun Villa would not be peaceful again.
Meng Yunzhong's expression also changed, and he looked at me.
"Let's go out and have a look. ”
As soon as I pushed the door, there was another scream, and a maid in the villa was thrown in front of me and Meng Yunzhong by some force, and when I looked at it again, I was no longer breathing.
"Who?"
Meng Yunzhong shouted, but there was no one in the courtyard. I secretly thought, this time, I don't know what kind of drama I'm playing.
"Yinluo, don't you even know me?"
A cold voice, but it sounds very familiar, but when you listen to it carefully, it is a little unfamiliar.
"Kitsune!"
Meng Yunzhong instantly pulled out his sword and pointed straight into the air.
Between the words, the breath of the roof opposite Meng Yunzhong and I shook, and a familiar figure gradually appeared. Sure enough, it's a fox demon!
"You!" I was somewhat surprised.
I had just met her on the cliff, why did she go to the mountain villa at this moment? Moreover, she wantonly killed many people?
"What are you doing here?" I asked coldly.
The fox demon pursed his lips and smiled, slipped down from the roof, and stood in front of me and Meng Yunzhong.
But before she could speak, the door of the courtyard was full of people, and then, Bo Yi was the first to walk in, and behind him was You Ruojun, who was supported by a maid.
"Who is the demon! How dare you come to my Mengjun Villa to harm people!" Bo Yi shouted.
The fox demon only measured her head slightly, and instantly shot out a fierce murderous aura from her eyes.
"It's you monster again!" Bo Yi glared angrily, and the sword was unsheathed.
The fox demon sneered and said, "Hmph, Yinluo, didn't you say that as long as I help you kill You Ruojun and let you get this man, you will let me go?" I'm here now, just waiting for your words." ”
As soon as I thought about it, I always felt that something was wrong.
"Kitsune, what are you talking about?"
The fox demon smiled coldly again: "What do I say, you know best in your heart! I'll kill her for you!"
After speaking, the fox demon rose in the air, and in an instant, there was a long whip in his hand, and the long whip was quenched with spiritual power, like a poisonous snake, and in the blink of an eye, it was already rushing towards You Ruojun.
The spiritual power of this long whip is extremely vicious, and the murderous aura is awe-inspiring, it seems to be different from the previous spiritual power of the fox demon, for a moment, I seem to notice a trace of abnormality, the spiritual power gathers, Bai Aya quickly rushes out, and two flexible bands of light are entangled and coiled together in mid-air. Bo Yi lifted the sword, blocked in front of You Ruojun, and secretly accumulated sword intent.
And at this moment, I faintly bypassed Boyi and saw You Ruojun's face, which had only recovered a little blood, and unexpectedly showed a cold smile. I knew something was wrong, but it was too late, the fox demon had a grim smile on his face, and the long whip suddenly disappeared, only the crooked white silk wandered in the air, but it still quickly swam in the direction of Boyi with the power just now. In an instant, Boyi's face was pale with a silver-white light, and I quickly withdrew my spiritual power, and there was only half an inch of distance left between Bai Aya and Boyi.
"Yinluo, stop!" Meng Yunzhong grabbed my hand urgently, wanting to pull Bai Aya back.
But I didn't know that all my spiritual power was concentrated in my arm, so in order to avoid him from being injured, I had to forcibly withdraw my spiritual power, and there was a backlash, and the pain in my heart almost crushed me to the point that I couldn't breathe. The white silk instantly crumbled into pieces and scattered and disappeared, and I staggered back and covered my stinging chest.
"Hmph, Yinluo, it's almost there, if you still want to cure the poison on your body, kill her quickly!" The fox demon returned to the eaves again, I looked at her with hatred, for some reason, I always felt that she was completely different from when she was on the cliff just now.
After the fox demon finished speaking, his figure flashed, and he disappeared.
Everything seemed to be peaceful, but to me, it seemed too strange. I've just met the fox demon, and at this moment, her appearance is the same as before.
"Demon girl, you are really vicious! you are really in league with that monster, and you want to kill Ruojun!" Bo Yi shouted at me indignantly, and the blade of his sword pointed directly at me.
I looked sideways at Meng Yunzhong, and my heart was cold. Although I don't know what kind of situation You Ruojun has laid out, at this moment, it has made Meng Yunzhong lose his ability to identify. He has always been just a mortal, and if he wants to see through these situations, he needs an explanation, but if he doesn't explain it well, all his positions will change.
"Big brother, if Yinluo really wants to kill You Ruojun, he doesn't have to travel thousands of miles to Yunnan to invite the Feng Immortals. ”
After a short stalemate, Meng Yunzhong finally stood in front of me and said calmly to Boyi.
"Yun Zhong, don't let her be deceived anymore, she just wants to exchange this for your trust, and after killing me, she will design to harm you!"
Just when a trace of hesitation flashed in Boyi's eyes, You Ruojun was helped by the maid to go around to Boyi, she didn't seem to be breathing very easily, and her eyes were very weak, as if she used a lot of strength in every step. Although Yun Zhong was also suspicious, he didn't speak again, after all, he needed an explanation. And at this time, the only thing that can be explained is You Ruojun.
I smiled coldly, I don't know what kind of play she is going to play again.
"When I was in the cabin, I already found out that she was an evil witch, and I wanted to get rid of her, so I quietly poisoned her and forced her away so that she would not hurt you. But she didn't want to, in order to get the antidote from the fox demon, she actually united with the monster and tried to kill me several times. Do you know that in order to make me suffer even more, she deliberately made a bet with me, saying that she would snatch you from me, and if I lost, she would kill me! She saved me only because my bet with her was not over, and it was not enough for her to torture me!"
Her words were drilled into my heart like nails, my hands clenched slightly, and I never thought that she would move this thing out in a high-sounding manner. If I really wanted to kill her, why should I bet with her?
"Yun Zhong, don't be deceived by her anymore! she's lying to you at all!" You Ruojun became hoarse and his eyes turned red, but it was not grievance, but hatred.
Meng Yunzhong froze in place, but the sword in his hand was slowly put down, and after a while, he slowly turned around and looked at me. In that gaze, there was disappointment, but there was a deep melancholy. I understand that the explanation You Ruojun gave him hurt more than anything else for him. His heart was struggling, tangled, and contradictory at this moment, and he didn't want to believe it, but there was no reason not to believe it.
"Yinluo, is the antidote you just said going to cost You Ruojun's life? What she said, but is it true? Are you with me just for a bet with her?"
I looked at his glasses in a daze, but I didn't know how to explain it for a while, so I smiled bitterly. How can I convince him that even if it is a bet, but the feelings are not half false? However, that bet is just as You Ruojun said, based on this alone, Meng Yunzhong may not be able to forgive me.
"Yun Zhong...... Do you believe in my feelings for you?"
Eyes crossed, I just hated to take my heart out and let him see it.
"Yinluo ......"
"Suffice it to say, no matter what, I don't lie to you in the slightest. ”
As soon as I finished speaking, Meng Yunzhong sighed slightly, and a wry smile spread across his deep and gloomy face.
"And what she said about the bet, is it true?"
Looking at his loss, I can only laugh at myself.
"Even so, it's only me who didn't make up my mind early in the morning and kill her. ”
I avoided Meng Yunzhong's gaze, walked to the side, and looked at You Ruojun coldly.
"You won. However, I didn't lose either. ”
A smug smile appeared on You Ruojun's face.
"Yun Zhong, if you can't forgive me because of this incident, I have no complaints. You and I have different paths, and I shouldn't force it. It's just that, don't forget what I said to you, although I am a demon, I don't want to see a tragedy happen here, let alone see something happen to you. ”
Meng Yunzhong always had his back to everyone, and I looked at this back carefully, and my memory was like the torrent of the fairy waterfall, which poured out of my mind in an instant. This moment came too suddenly, but it also hit my faint worry. What the fox demon once said is not wrong, and there is nothing wrong with returning to the dust, the shemale is in love, and it is difficult to return to the same place, it's not that he doesn't trust me, it's just weird, the identity of my demon just confirms all this. It's just because I'm a demon that You Ruojun's explanation is even more impeccable.
And at this moment, what else can I do but leave?
"Yinluo ......"
The moment I took my step, Meng Yunzhong still turned around. This call could only make me smile bitterly with my back to him. Even if he wants to keep me, even if he doesn't care, even if he doesn't take You Ruojun's words to heart at all, but the current situation has completely changed. I can't let go of my hatred, I can't break my oath. In the near future, I will have to fight against that powerful demon, can I still return to him?What's more, if there is no sword of cangrong, in less than a few hours, I will be poisoned, perhaps, before I have a chance to kill that demon, I will already ...... So, why should I make him sad again?
For a moment, my thoughts fluctuated a thousand times. It's good to have this misunderstanding, and if you Ruojun is called, at least Meng Yunzhong can hate me more, and with hatred, there will be a lot less patience and sadness, and a lot less pain of parting.
"Maybe Guichen is right, it's my delusional desire to combine shemales, and our fate should have ended. ”
“......”
There are no words, only a heart and a heart-to-heart farewell.
The moment my feet left the ground, the mortal man behind me was getting farther and farther away from me...... But at least this time, I saved his life, and my departure will not bring disaster to him.
