Chapter 5: The Past of the Sword Slave (I)
When Yang Xiaowu woke up, he found that his body was wet and felt very uncomfortable. He raised his head and wanted to move a little, and saw Chen Keyi leaning on his arm, sleeping deeply, with tears hanging on his eyelashes, like morning dewdrops, and as if carved crystals, crystal clear. Although his face was a little haggard, the smile on the corner of his mouth was clearly telling others that this was a sleeping angel.
Chen Keyi woke up by the writhing of Yang Xiaowu's body, she sat up, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her fingers, and said, "You finally woke up! Don't you know, at first it made you faint, and you thought that you couldn't withstand the domineering mana of the Great Sun Rulai Curse? Later, when I saw that your body was not reacting, I knew that you were unconscious. Then I poured cold water on you, and I don't remember how many buckets of cold water I poured on you, but I couldn't wake you up. ”
Yang Xiaowu smiled helplessly and said, "No wonder as soon as I woke up, I felt wet and uncomfortable." Hey, how come you don't even know if I'm unconscious?"
Chen Keyi snorted and said, "Are you so faint, even your head is dazed? Why do you forget that you are a zombie, zombies can not be intentional." ”
Yang Xiaowu sat up, patted his head, and said, "No wonder, I forgot about this layer." By the way, what just happened? I just felt very uncomfortable, and my head was foggy, and I didn't know what had just happened. ”
"When we checked on Mr. Zhang, I sensed that the evil spirit was sneaking up behind, and I was running out for time, so I didn't have time to inform you. It shot three "karmic arrows" at us, and I finally only shot down two, and the third one still hit you. I was about to see if you were okay, but the evil spirit suddenly attacked me while I shot down the "Karma Arrow", and I didn't have time to dodge, and finally fainted. Speaking of this, Chen Keyi's face turned crimson, a twisted look appeared on his face, and his voice became quieter, and he said, "But my consciousness is still clear, fortunately, I cast the Vajrasattva Dharma Body Mantra in advance, which can temporarily protect my heart." However, the Vajrasattva mantra still doesn't work for you, you follow me...... After sucking the evil spirit out of me, I woke up. I saw you rolling around on the ground, and it was very uncomfortable, so I cast a mantra on you. I don't know if I can finally save you! I only used the Great Day Nyorai Mantra for the second time, and I heard you shout, and I fell asleep. I was worried that something would happen to you, so I found cold water and planned to splash it on you, but who knew that you would completely pass out and not wake up. I could only stand by your side, but in the end I still consumed too much true qi, and I was so tired that I didn't know how to fall asleep in the end. By the way, you see, there is nothing wrong with the body. ”
Yang Xiaowu saw that Chen Keyi was fine, and finally put his mind at ease, and tried to run his zombie energy in his body, saying, "There's nothing wrong now, didn't you say it just now?" However, I tried to use my mana just now, and I really felt a little bit, but it wasn't uncomfortable, but it was refreshing. I don't know how to put it into words, it's like...... It's like...... Let's put it this way, if I used to be a walking corpse, now I feel like I have a soul. ”
Chen Keyi was taken aback when she heard Yang Xiaowu say this, and directly expressed her disbelief. She shook her head, still not at ease, and insisted on reciting the Great Day Nyorai mantra again.
The domineering feeling of Da Ri Rulai's mantra, Yang Xiaowu still clearly remembers, hearing Chen Keyi say this, he hurriedly said no.
Chen Keyi glared at him and said, "This time is different! The previous Great Ri Rulai Heart Mantra was the Sun Wheel Seal, which was the Pure World Mantra, which was used to subdue demons and subdue demons. This time it is the Wisdom Fist Seal, which is a purification mantra that can be used to calm the mind and calm the mind. You're a zombie, though, so it might be a little uncomfortable, but it's certainly not as painful as it used to be. ”
Yang Xiaowu knew that he couldn't talk about her, and he couldn't beat her, and the most important thing was that he couldn't bear to touch her, so he could only let her recite a mantra. However, as Chen Keyi said, this time there was no discomfort in the slightest, and the body felt very comfortable! Subconsciously told himself that he couldn't listen to it a few more times. Yang Xiaowu told Chen Keyi about this situation, she said that she had never seen this kind of thing, and there were still zombies who were not afraid of the Great Sun Rulai Heart Curse, although it was only a purification spell. She said that when she went back to the mountain, she would ask Master what was going on.
The matter finally came to an end, and when Yang Xiaowu and Keyi left, Lao Yang had already woken up. Chen Keyi told Lao Yang that don't tell the police about these things, no one will believe that there are ghosts in the world. Besides, Boss Zhang's family probably knew what was going on, so they just thought it was an accidental death. Lao Yang saw the tragic situation of the driver and his wife, and when he remembered that he still had palpitations, where did he dare to do more.
On the way back to the ancient town of Liye, Yang Xiaowu suddenly thought of what his eldest brother said: When people protect the most important people, they will become very strong. Yang Xiaowu couldn't help but wonder in his heart: Could it be that Keyi has become the most important person to me, but we have only known each other for a few days. Yang Xiaowu really didn't dare to think about it further, it was the first time he hated himself so much why he was a zombie.
Chen Keyi saw Yang Xiaowu in a daze, so she asked him what he was thinking. Yang Xiaowu sighed and said, "I'm thinking that when people are hurt, they will hate, and if they hurt others, they will be hated and condemned by guilt." Only after experiencing this pain can we truly be kind to others. People only grow when they experience pain. ”
"yes! I didn't think you would think that. Chen Keyi glanced at him in surprise and said, "I've always heard you say that you don't want to be a zombie, I wanted to ask you a long time ago, if you weren't a zombie, what kind of life would you want to live?"
Yang Xiaowu smiled helplessly, looked out the window, and said, "I originally wanted to live a casual life as a farmer, make some money casually, and then marry a woman who is not beautiful and ugly." Two more children, the first one a girl and the second a boy. When the eldest daughter got married and the son was able to take charge of the situation on his own, he retired from his job as a farmer. After that, he lived a leisurely and secluded life playing chess or Go every day. and then died of old age earlier than his wife. ”
Chen Keyi listened, paused for two seconds, and suddenly laughed and said, "Really...... I really didn't expect it, but how did you finally choose such a promising career as a zombie. ”
Chen Keyi's words reminded Yang Xiaowu of the past, he looked at her deeply, I don't know why, and suddenly wanted to tell her about his past, Yang Xiaowu said: "I remember that time was the dark age in Chinese history, and it was later called the era of the Northern and Southern Dynasties. Emperor Xiaowen of Wei had just died in the Northern Dynasty, while the Southern Dynasty was in the alternation of the Qi and Liang dynasties. At that time, the dynasties changed, the regime changed, and the military disasters made the people's lives miserable. There were dead people everywhere, some starved to death, some killed by GIs, and some died of disease...... In short, there are dead people everywhere. My eldest brother and I were very scared, in that turbulent era, we didn't know when we finally died, and we didn't even know how we died. Later, I went through a lot of things, and finally became a zombie. Specific things are a long story, and when I have time one day, I will slowly talk to you about them. ”
"Hmm. Yes, when you have time, you'll talk to me about it. Chen Keyi also looked out the window, sighed, and said, "No wonder you have such a deep understanding of hatred." However, we, China, as the protagonist of the East and the superpower of the world, have her own position, and she can only speak with one voice. In such a huge empire, there are always many people who have the desire to stand at her peak and let everyone listen to him. The consequence of this desire is a mountain of bones. ”
Yang Xiaowu shook his head and said, "This is your opinion, I don't know if what you said is right." Back then, I was just a small citizen in the market, and now, I'm just a useless zombie who aspires to be an ordinary person. Yang Xiaowu said, took out the bell that Chen Keyi gave him before, handed it to her, and said, "This bell should be very important to you, I think I should return it to you." ”
Chen Keyi was stunned for a moment, took the bell, looked at it carefully, and said while looking at it: "Since it was given to you, it will belong to you in the future." Whatever you want, just do it! Give it away or throw it away, it's up to you!" After speaking, he handed it back to Yang Xiaowu.
Yang Xiaowu took the bell, his heart was in turmoil. He didn't know what Chen Keyi wanted to express, or if he actually knew it in his heart, but he didn't dare to think about it. Yang Xiaowu could only divert the topic and said: "Everything in the world has spirituality, although this bell is made of extraordinary iron, it is still a dead thing. You soaked it in blood, you cast a spell, and you finally gave it spirituality. You see that it is so magnificent, with flashes of spiritual light from time to time, it is no longer a mortal product. Such a treasure, have you ever thought of giving it a name?"
"Nope. I'm used to carrying it on my body, and I don't even remember that I still have such a thing on my body. Besides, I follow Master, and I am busy cultivating every day, so I don't have time to think about this. ”
Since Yang Xiaowu came to Xiangxi, he often heard that Chen Keyi is the most prestigious female celestial master in Xiangxi, and this time in the battle with evil spirits, Yang Xiaowu did see Chen Keyi's extraordinary strength. To cultivate to your strength, I'm afraid it is not just as simple as talent, but you must work several times more than your talent, or even dozens of times more effort to do it. When you were practicing, was your master very strict with you?"
Chen Keyi shook his head and said, "It can't be said to be strict, it should be said to be strict." In the past, when I was a child, my master was very strict with me, in addition to the art of Qimen Dunjia and the method of catching ghosts and punishing evil, the master also taught all kinds of literature and martial arts. I didn't know why I wanted to learn this, so I went to ask Master, and Master only said that I was still young, and when I grew up, he would tell me. I thought that Master was like my father, and in any case it would only be good for me, so I tried my best to learn. I got up early every day to practice swordsmanship, meditated at night, and sometimes it became a habit to go to the gods, and I never asked the master. It wasn't until before coming down this time that Master said to me that the world was going to experience a catastrophe, and whether this catastrophe was a disaster or a change was all up to you, and you had to do it yourself. I was confused by the master's words, I couldn't calculate the divination, and I couldn't think about it thoroughly, so I had to stop thinking about it. You have lived in the human world for more than 1,000 years, and you are used to seeing the impermanence of the world, what do you think Master means?"
Yang Xiaowu thought for a while, but he really couldn't figure it out, so he didn't bother to think about it, and said: "The disaster you are talking about, the change or something, I really can't think of it." Although I have lived for more than a thousand years, I have lived in a state of confusion, where do I have the mind to worry about the catastrophe in the world. Yang Xiaowu said, took the bell in his hand and shook it a few times, and said to Chen Keyi, "We can also be regarded as experiencing life and death together, although I can't say that I have protected you, I still saved you in the end." Now that you've given me this bell, let me name it! Well, you see that this bell is so delicate and beautiful, and it is a foreign object left by a fairy in the mortal dust, I think it will be called "Flower Bell". Well, it is the name that is like the bell, and the bell is like the person. ”
Chen Keyi also felt that the name "Flower Bell" was good, and when she thought of the hidden meaning of this name, she suddenly felt as sweet as drinking honey, smiled lightly with a red face, and said, "When you speak, it sounds really good." You don't know, I'm in the mountains, and no one talks to me. ”
"How can it be? On the mountain, don't you still have a master, and a sword slave. Besides, you are in Xiangxi, and your reputation is so great, will there be no one to talk to you?"
Chen Keyi sighed and said: "That's what I said, but the world only respects and fears me, unless I ask for it, otherwise I can't avoid it, after all, no one wants to be friends with a person who deals with demons and monsters every day." As for Master, although he treats me very well, like a father treats his daughter, there are many things I can't tell him, and he is very busy, and he often goes out for a few days without coming home. Later, the sword slave came, and I finally left my playmate, but in his eyes, I was like his master, and he was stimulated, and his mind could not be civilized, and many things were told to him, but he did not understand. ”
When Yang Xiaowu heard Chen Keyi mention the sword slave, he suddenly became interested and said, "Yes." Speaking of this, I have always wanted to ask what kind of stimulation the sword slave has suffered. Every time I see him, he always kills him, as if he has a grudge against me, or is he like this to everyone?"
