Chapter 281: Dust
The old man's fingers stabbed inward again, Qin Ke opened his mouth wide, but he could only make a "ho-ho" sound from his throat, the old man didn't lie to him, the pain was ...... It's a terrible pain!
Qin Ke only felt as if something had suddenly burst in his mind, and the few thoughts that were still left were torn apart by this pain. Fire Ran Wen ena'com
The old man looked at Qin Ke intently, as calm as a cold stone.
As his fingers pierced, just in Qin Ke's heart, a blue light flashed from his chest, obviously a closed hall, but there was a wind from nothing, blowing hulala, whistling, like a wild beast roaring, and like some birds chirping.
So the old man finally stopped going deeper, and in the face of the strong wind, he closed his eyes, as if he felt his thoughts, and the "armillary sphere" behind him suffocated, and then accelerated, and the words engraved on it lit up one by one, and seemed to float in the rotation.
Then there was a light like flowing water, and outside the skylight, the cloudy sky suddenly dispersed at this moment, and the whole sky was full of white light, and the sky was full of bright stars!
"General, look!" The deputy general looked at the sky above the Taishi Bureau in shock, and a thick dragon-like light was like substance, falling down along the skylight, and at this moment it actually dispelled the darkness, making the entire Taishi Bureau look extremely majestic and solemn, like a miracle.
Countless forbidden soldiers knelt down without thinking about it, frightened, the two teams of ten people went in for a long time, and there was not a single sound or news from inside, and then a team went in and continued to enter the sea, but now it suddenly showed such a magnificent scene, they began to be afraid, they began to be afraid, they even regretted that they had come to "harass" the person in the main hall, it should be a god who had come to the world, right? And they ...... All offenders.
Wei Xiu also looked at the huge pillar of light in shock, even with his experience, he couldn't figure it out at the moment, what kind of spell could create such a strange effect, could it be the demon inside...... No, isn't it a demon, but has already stepped into a realm beyond the reach of the world?
No.
He bit his lip hard until he bit his lip to bleed, and finally pulled himself back from the shock, and he suddenly hissed and shouted: "Get up! This is just the illusion of the demons! You are the elite soldiers of the Tang Kingdom! Get up!"
His first voice seemed a little hoarse, but soon, the second voice became majestic and powerful, although his cultivation was not very powerful, but under the swelling of qi and blood, it was enough to amplify the voice a lot.
Countless forbidden soldiers heard his voice, and even the soldiers who were kneeling on the ground and kowtowing and begging for forgiveness raised their heads in a daze for a while, looking at Wei Xiu, a little stunned.
"Get up! This is just an illusion!" The lieutenant general also came back to his senses, and shouted with Wei Xiu, holding the sheathed long sword in his hand, and struck the soldiers who knelt on the ground one by one, and scolded loudly: "Get up for me! Don't embarrass Tang Guo! A little trick will scare you? If the demon is really so powerful, he will definitely use illusion to repel us, but keep your eyes open and see, aren't we all safe and sound!"
As soon as he explained this, many people looked at each other, and when they realized that the beam of light had been shining for a long time without affecting them in the slightest, they finally slowly got up from the ground.
There were even some sergeants who thought of the way they were prostrate on the ground just now, and they were ashamed in their hearts and cursed: "I'll just say, if this is so powerful, wouldn't it be nice to kill us all on the spot?
"Right...... It is estimated that this demon is also weak-hearted, afraid that we will rush in, so he uses this light to scare us, who in this world is not two shoulders against one head? Hey, Lao Tzu stabbed down, it was a big scar at the mouth of the bowl!"
Everyone responded one after another, even though they still had a little doubt in their hearts, but it was inconvenient to speak in such an atmosphere.
And with the scolding like a tide, these forbidden soldiers were also enthusiastic, and some people asked for orders: "General, take us in and kill the demon who pretends to be a ghost!"
"Yes, General, we are not afraid!"
And Wei Xiu looked at the huge beam of light, the shock in his eyes faded, and the rest was only the fortitude of the soldiers, he looked at the screaming soldiers, and said in a deep voice: "The mountain battalion is the vanguard, the fire battalion follows closely, and the wind is self-supporting to protect the two wings, advancing step by step!"
With a "bang", the gate of the Taishi Bureau was pushed open to the maximum by the forbidden army, like a wide open mouth, and the entire forbidden army, with iron-blooded killing intent, marched slowly towards the palace.
"Is this good?" Li Si looked at the old man sitting from behind and said softly.
The beam of light gradually dimmed and dimmed, and finally became a wisp of smoke in the night, and the stars disappeared into the clouds again, and the hall was still shrouded in darkness, except for some candles that were about to burn out to illuminate the old man's tired face.
Obviously, it was only a short time, but the old man at this moment could already be described beyond recognition compared to when Qin Ke first saw him.
The thinning hair on his head had turned from black to pale, and his skin was clinging to his bones, producing countless black markings and folds everywhere.
If he was as thin as a candle in his old age, then he is no better than the dried corpse in the grave.
The only thing that remained unchanged was the deep sunken eye sockets, those eyes still shone with a deep and shining light, and he looked at Qin Ke lying on the ground and showed a difficult smile.
Qin Ke was still asleep, and he frowned, as if he was still suffering from pain.
The old man said slowly: "It's nothing good or bad, it's just that I finally fulfilled a wish, and this life is enough." ”
"But he won't necessarily be our man. Li Si looked at the old man, he really couldn't understand, he shook his head, "Don't forget, his master is Zhuge Wolong, it's the ...... Rebellious ......"
The old man sat down cross-legged, and stopped Li Si with his hand to continue, his dry lips curled a little: "Even so, I still believe that the gods will not choose the wrong person, so many years, I have also thought a lot, and even, I wonder if it will ...... It's our ...... wrong."
Li Si was shocked, and hurriedly said, "Lord, don't think about it!"
"I said it, I've been out of office for a long time......" the old man closed his eyes, "From the first day I saw that child, I knew that my mission had been accomplished, Zhuge Wolong...... It may not be a good choice, God chose him, there must be their considerations, at the feet of the gods, we are just a group of loyal servants, in addition to doing our own thing, too much self-awareness, will only become an obstacle. ”
Li Si's expression was complicated, "But it was you who personally gave the order to hunt down Zhuge Wolong, if he is qualified enough to become the Lord, why did you do this?"
"Things from the past...... Alas, if you don't mention it, you can't regret it, you can't regret it......" The old man said tiredly: "I did give the Daoge killing order at the beginning, but because of this, I took the initiative to step down from that position and have been sitting here until today. We are only mortal, and if we are mortal, we will inevitably make some mistakes......"
"I don't understand. Li Si continued to shake his head, "Could it be that we have adhered to the tenets of a thousand years, is it wrong?"
"I don't know. The old man whispered, "But everything is changing, perhaps...... God will also change his initial mind. And we...... But he is still clinging to some things from the past. ”
Li Si frowned and said, "What do you mean...... Do you want us to welcome Zhuge Wolong back?"
"Zhuge Wolong is dead. The old man said: "Since this child has been enlightened, Zhuge Wolong is naturally not alive, my existence is just a coincidence, but now it seems that this coincidence should eventually return to the destiny of heaven." ”
There was a noisy sound outside the main hall, and the forbidden army rushed in, all the way forward, and it was already close in front of him.
"There you go. The old man said, "Take this child out, there are some things that I can't answer, but maybe in the future, he will give all the answers." ”
"What about you?" Li Sidao.
"I've done my job. The old man let out a long sigh, "That's enough." ”
As he spoke, he turned his head slightly and looked at Li Si.
A little strange light flashed in Li Si's eyes, and in front of his eyes, the old man's cheeks were scattered with dust.
There was nothing in the first place, where to stir up dust.
The dust on the old man's body was naturally not contaminated, but his body, which had begun to gradually disintegrate, and after so many years in a half-dead state, he finally met death peacefully.
Li Si picked up Qin Ke on his back and quickly disappeared into the shadows.
The armillary sphere also slowly stopped, and when the forbidden soldiers rushed in, they only saw the char formed by the corpses, and the dust on the ground, which drifted with the wind, everywhere, like caged birds that had finally gained freedom, and rejoiced.
