Chapter 74: A Twist of Fate
"At that time, my magic skills had been accomplished, and I thought that even if I met a monk of the level of the Heavenly Demon Patriarch again, it would not be without the strength to fight back. Therefore, I chose a day and went to Taixuanzong alone.
Taixuanzong's location is on an island in the North Sea, which is an active volcano that is like spring all year round. When I went to the island, it was already late at night, and the sky was full of stars, and it was reflected in a stream, making the stream look like the Milky Way on the ground. There is a Taoist bathing foot by the stream, he leans against a rock and looks up at the starry sky, there is an indescribable ethereal mystery.
I had already killed many powerful monks at that time, but that Taoist gave me an extremely uncomfortable feeling. I even knew he must have known I was coming, and that if I had taken any further steps, there would have been an unpredictable danger.
After standing in place for an hour, the Taoist still didn't move, and I finally couldn't help but take a step forward, and suddenly the starlight floating on the water of the stream actually emerged from the water and turned into thousands of sword qi. Those thousands of sword qi were by no means chaotic, but like the stars in the sky, they were secretly in some kind of eternal and unchanging law, and I was trapped in it.
Later, I learned that that person was Xingchenzi, the first monk of Taixuanzong at that time, and he had already thought that I would come, and he was waiting for me. This time, no one came to save me, and I was bruised by Xingchenzi's sword qi, and I was finally imprisoned in the dungeon of Taixuanzong.
I was the only one in that dungeon, and it was eerily quiet. Xingchenzi locked up my cultivation and made it impossible for me to escape. I don't know how long I was inside, and when I was almost crazy, someone finally took me out of the dungeon. First the maids came and bathed me, and then they took me to a beautiful palace, where I met my brother.
It turned out that during the time I was imprisoned in the dungeon, my brother went out, and he also successfully cultivated the "Emperor Sutra", and naturally took over the position of the sect master of Taixuanzong. He used the power of the suzerain to release me.
My brother found out about me, and he didn't blame me, but told me not to go out in the future.
But the monsters I summoned are still wreaking havoc outside, and they have summoned more powerful beings through the altar I left behind, and not long after I was released, there were monsters to attack Taixuanzong.
They thought I was trapped here and wanted to get me out. I wanted to go out and calm the storm, but my brother stopped me. After that, my brother seemed to be hiding something on his mind. Until one day, he suddenly told me to take me away.
My brother's cultivation at that time was already rare in the world, and it was of course easy to take me away from Taixuanzong secretly. The two of us pretended to be ordinary brothers and sisters outside, wandering around in the world of ordinary people.
Twenty years have passed, and no one has found us. I thought that such days could last, but one night the Heavenly Demon Ancestor suddenly appeared again.
He became more ethereal and unpredictable, and he didn't know how to enter my dreams. He said to me an ancient, mysterious, obscure incantation, and I understood the meaning of the incantation. He cursed me that I would never grow old and die in the long river of years, and that I would kill those who loved me, that I would gain strength, and that if I did not kill those I loved, I would endure all the tortures of the world, and that it would never end. ”
Speaking of this, Mu Qing laughed softly.
Gu Weirui couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart, what kind of curse was this.
Mu Qing glanced at Gu Weirui and said lightly: "When I woke up from a dream, the first torture was a thousand cuts. At that time, of course, my body was nothing at all, after all, according to the curse of the Heavenly Demon Ancestor, I was not old or dead, but the pain caused by torture was not less at all. The most terrible thing is that the longer I endure the torture, the faster my power dissipates. ”
Gu Weirui said: "What happened later?"
Mu Qing said indifferently: "I have become an ordinary person. ”
Gu Weirui couldn't help but show a respectful look, of course she understood that this meant that Mu Qing didn't kill her brother, and it was likely that she didn't try it at all, so she had been enduring the torture of thousands of knives.
She continued, "What else happened next?"
Mu Qing smiled slightly and said, "I won't tell you, not to mention that you now know the reason why I killed someone." When she said her tragic experience, she could still talk with a smile, and Gu Weirui felt a strange feeling in her heart.
Mu Qing ignored her, looked in the direction of the shadow where Ji Xiao was, and said leisurely: "Ji Xiao, is my story good." ”
Ji Xiao had no choice but to come out, he couldn't say it was good, otherwise Mu Qing would be angry, and he couldn't say it was bad, after all, this was Mu Qing's story, he said: "Mu Qing's experience is very incredible. ”
He pointed out that this was an experience, not a story, and to use the unbelievable, it was the truth.
Mu Qing smiled: "This is not an incredible experience, but my painful past. ”
Ji Xiao said: "I apologize to you on behalf of Wei Rui, she shouldn't have asked you about it." ”
Mu Qing said lightly: "In my place, it is useless to apologize. ”
Ji Xiao said: "So what does Sister Mu Qing plan to do with me?"
Mu Qing smiled and said, "If you go and kill the woman outside, I will forget the unpleasantness that this incident brought me." ”
Ji Xiao said: "Is it the woman in goose yellow clothes outside, she seems to be your subordinate." ”
Mu Qing chuckled and said, "Don't try to fool me, you know who to kill." ”
Ji Xiao smiled bitterly: "Can you change one thing?" ”
Mu Qing said: "It's okay if you don't agree, but do you know what I will do?"
Ji Xiao sighed softly and said, "How to do it?"
Gu Weirui suddenly said to Mu Qing: "If you are unhappy because of me, then you can kill me." ”
Mu Qing said leisurely: "You won't live long, why should I kill you." “
Seeing this, Ji Xiao took one step at a time, like a phantom, walked to Gu Weirui's side, and said softly to her: "It's none of your business, Sister Mu Qing can ruin the Four Seasons Villa with a single thought." That's why she decided to let us go today, but if she is unhappy one day, she will still deal with us. So you don't have to be upset, and you don't have to take responsibility. ”
Mu Qing clapped his hands and said, "Ji Xiao, you are indeed much stronger than those laymen, if fate is not in your hands, you are a pitiful worm." But have you thought about it, now that you please me, at least you can survive. ”
Ji Xiao smiled and said, "Of course I know, but Sister Mu Qing has other uses for me, this shouldn't be my own affection." ”
He was actually very nervous in his heart, but in the face of such a powerful existence as Mu Qing, what was the use of being nervous. His reason told him that even if Mu Qing wanted to give Gu Weirui an explanation about killing the head of the Zhang family, he didn't have to tell such a long story. Mu Qing told this story of herself, and there must be something else in it.
Even Ji Xiao felt that Mu Qing was telling him.
Of course, this may be his own passion.
However, there is one thing that Mu Qing said well, fate is not in his hands, that is, the poor worm. So let him look at Mu Qing's face and act, it would be too humble and pitiful. He likes life now, he likes to be a human being, but he doesn't like to be a poor worm.
Mu Qing has now taught him a good lesson, and Ji Xiao's fate has also taken a turn from this moment.
