Chapter 286: No Regrets?
Hearing the word immortal, Bai Xiao suddenly became excited.
"Immortal trees?"
Zheng Liming lay on the cushion, his eyes slightly offset: "That's right, the immortal tree, that ghost thing found me and gave me a good thing." ”
As he spoke, he spread out his palm, and saw a half-virtual and half-solid golden seed, shining brightly.
Bai Xiao felt that the blood in his body boiled for a moment, his vision became red, and his mind was full of desire to kill and plunder.
Zheng Liming closed his palms again, and the golden seed disappeared, Bai Xiao lost his inducement, and quickly regained his composure.
However, a moment of gaffe has fully demonstrated that the golden seed is genuine.
Zheng Liming explained: "I said before that the immortal tree can help people with the apocalypse...... That's not just speculation. I myself have indeed come into contact with the Immortal Tree, and have even received the gift of Immortality. Hehe, over the years, everyone thought that I had lost the apocalypse in this life, but I didn't know that the door of the apocalypse had already opened in front of my eyes. ”
Although Zheng Liming laughed constantly, there was no smugness in the laughter, but was full of self-deprecation.
When Bai Xiao heard this, he couldn't help asking, "Do you regret it?"
Zheng Liming's laughter stopped abruptly, and there was a hint of surprise in his slender eyes.
This kid, although he has always been a reckless man who does not understand the world, but in fact...... His mind is really delicate.
"Regret? That's a good question, and I've regretted it all the time over the years. Zheng Liming was playing with the half-virtual and half-real golden demon seed, while quietly immersed in the memories of his youth.
"The first time I touched the vein of the Apocalypse was just an accident, with my qualifications, I was promoted to a master in my thirties, which is already a bit of a coincidence, and I was able to peek into the shadow of the Apocalypse at the moment of breakthrough, and the proportion of luck has far exceeded my strength. And the favor of the immortal tree is an unexpected joy. This strange thing in the demon world is very picky, not everyone who comes to the Apocalypse Gate, it will pay attention to it, only those with outstanding talents will be favored by the Immortal Tree and bestowed with the seed of immortality. And I don't have anything to do with the words "talented" anyway. ”
Bai Xiao asked, "Do you suspect that there is a conspiracy in this kind of thing?"
"Of course I doubt it, and when something is too good, I doubt that there is something wrong with it...... It's like if one day your father Bai Wuya suddenly repented and decided to say goodbye to the prodigal son, and from then on he would have a pure heart and few desires, what would you think?"
Bai Xiao tried to sketch that picture in his mind a little, and he felt creepy, and he couldn't wait to beat this model father with a punch!
Zheng Liming saw Bai Xiao's face pale, nodded and said, "My reaction at that time was the same as yours. I have never encountered anything good in my life, every achievement I have made, is far beyond the necessary limit of hard work in exchange, others envy me for ten gains, but do not know that I have put in twenty points of effort and sacrifice behind me, and I have long been accustomed to this mode of giving and gaining...... So when this kind of flying blessing suddenly appeared in front of my eyes, my first reaction must be that there is a conspiracy in it. ”
Bai Xiao asked, "Actually?"
"I don't know. Zheng Liming said calmly, "The existence of this seed cannot be analyzed with the current Demon Dao technology. I can see it, touch it, but I can't analyze it. So I don't know exactly what will happen after I eat this seed. I can't even find much of a reference. Regarding the Immortal Tree, the historical records of the Eastern and Western Continents are very rare, and the people who have actually come into contact with it are even rarer, even some people who have advanced to the Apocalypse along the vein of the Immortal Tree have never seen the Immortal Seed, so I don't know what kind of conspiracy is contained in it. ”
Speaking of this, Zheng Liming let out a leisurely sigh: "I'm not even sure that if I eat this seed, I will definitely be able to break through the apocalypse." It's just that when I saw this seed for the first time, an extra thought suddenly came to my mind, which was to eat it and get the apocalypse...... Whether this idea was instilled by the immortal tree or whether I had hysteria at the time is impossible to verify. Later, thanks to the Great Grandmaster who helped me do a lot of research, I was able to preliminarily deduce that it would help people get the effect of the Apocalypse, but even the Great Grandmaster could not determine whether the seeds had side effects, and everything could only be subjectively speculated. For example, once you take the Demon Eater, it will be permanently bound to the Immortal Tree. But on the other hand, it is not necessarily a bad thing to be bound, according to the research of the Great Grandmaster, in the past thousand years, among the grandmasters of the Great Qin Empire, there are no many examples of dealing with the Immortal Tree, most of them have spent their lives freely, and even many are staunch anti-Saint Yuan people, and they have not been subject to any restrictions. The most typical example is even more close at hand, the Flame Leaving Grandmaster of the Royal Academy has unmistakably come into contact with the Immortal Tree and has been promoted to the Grandmaster with its help, but this does not prevent him from becoming the most free-spirited Grandmaster in the world. ”
Bai Xiao thought about it and felt that this was also very reasonable, among the thirteen grandmasters of human civilization, there was indeed only one who was free enough to be willing to lick dogs for others!
But then comes the problem.
Since Zheng Liming is not sure about the side effects, why is he so repulsive about it?
"Because that's not what I've worked on. Zheng Liming said, "My life's achievements come from hard work and sacrifice, and I can't adapt to this kind of gospel from heaven." ”
Bai Xiao asked, "Even if it can really let you get the Apocalypse?"
In many of the books Bai Xiao saw, it was written that for those Demon Dao masters who walked in the clouds, nothing was more important than touching the Apocalypse.
The progress of the Demon Dao has become an instinct engraved in the depths of their bone marrow, and some people even describe those Demon Dao masters as walking cultivation puppets.
Of course, this point of view is biased, at least Bai Xiao has been getting along with Yuan Shi day and night in the past few months, and she knows very well that in her mind, she can code at least two digits of things that are more important than demonic path cultivation.
But, after all, it's an apocalypse.
If the temptation of the apocalypse was placed in front of the original poem, would she be indifferent?
Having seen her swaying under the temptation of money, Bai Xiao really found it difficult to assert that she could resist the apocalypse......
So, what about Zheng Liming?
"Even if I can get the apocalypse, I won't accept it. Zheng Liming said categorically, "What doesn't belong to me, rash possession will be counterattacked." I've seen too many tragic cases over the years...... I used to have an old friend, who was obsessed with the study of the devil all his life, and his attainments were extraordinary, but his temperament was honest and wooden, and he never liked girls, but suddenly one day, a sexy and charming girl fell in love with him, and I advised him not to take this kind of flying fortune seriously, but his mind was full of ** and ass, and he was deceived and bankrupt within two or three years...... I've seen such an example, how could I be so comfortable with a golden demon seed that suddenly appeared in front of me!"
Bai Xiao opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say.
Condolences?
"So I made up my mind at that time, I would never use this immortal seed, even if I missed the apocalypse forever because of it...... Later, I really didn't take the opportunity, and I deserved it, haha. ”
Zheng Liming let out a self-deprecating sneer again.
"So you ask me if I regret it? Of course I regret it, and whenever I remember that I actually gave up the realm of apocalypse with my own hands, I regret it to the point that my heart is broken, and the pain is beyond measure. But this pain has become my motivation and the cornerstone of my human dignity. I, ah, have rejected the apocalypse at my fingertips, and have resolutely implemented my own demonic principles! Whenever I think of this, I feel that my life's efforts are worthwhile. ”
"Of course, on the other hand, the temptation of the apocalypse and immortality is always there, and whenever I encounter a bottleneck and fall into a trough, this golden seed will appear in front of me, as if to remind me that I have the opportunity to let go of my senseless obsession at any time and turn back as a prodigal son. And I have only one answer to such a temptation: even if Lao Tzu seeks his own death, he will never be rare in your immortality!"
