Chapter 146: Mutual Calculations
Yun Wuxian looked at Bai Ling with a hint of banter in his eyes. He was curious as to how Bai Ling could see his uneasiness. In other words, Yun Wuxian wanted to know how Bai Ling knew that he was not calm.
"You quarreled with the food delivery person for a long time, why?" Bai Ling asked.
"You're not deaf, you should be able to hear me talking to the prisoner. Yun Wuxian said, "What? Could it be that you have just become a human, and your head is not very bright?"
"You don't sarcastically mock me. Bai Ling said, "I naturally know that you and the discussion, no, it should be said that it is the content of the quarrel." I'm just curious, you argue with him for a long time, just to know what day it is? Later, I figured out, you're too bored to stay here, and you just want to talk to someone. ”
You go on. Yun Wuxian looked at Bai Ling and said,
"Who would be bored?" Bai Ling walked up to Yun Wuxian and stretched out a finger to lift Yun Wuji's chin, a smile appeared on her face.
"Only those who are afraid of death, and those who don't want to die are afraid of boredom. Bai Ling put his mouth to Yun Wuji's ear and whispered, "You keep saying that you are not afraid of death, but in fact, you are afraid of death in your heart." Am I right?"
"What are you saying right, and what if you're not?" Yun Wuxian asked rhetorically.
Yun Wuxi's words stopped Bai Ling. Yes, both of them are locked up here, they are both boring people, Bai Ling said the boredom of Yun Wuxian without a trace, didn't he also indirectly point out his boredom.
Bai Ling sat on the ground dejectedly, silent.
Yun Wuxian patted Bai Ling on the shoulder and said, "Actually, my intention is to remind the prisoners that they have seen the day I was executed. I'm afraid he doesn't know. ’
"What does he know, what does he not know?" Bai Ling asked.
"You have become a human being, and you are still a beautiful woman. However, there are many things in the world that you don't know. For example, as a prisoner, a prisoner who wants to be beheaded will have to eat a meal of decapitation when he is dying. Do you know what it is?" asked Yun Wuji.
Bai Ling shook his head.
"A severed head meal is a hearty meal. It means that he is about to go to see Hades. You can't go hungry. However, people are about to die, where is they still in the mood to eat? It can only be a hearty meal to seduce the appetite. Yun Wuxian sighed and said, "We're dying, and before we die, we can't even eat a severed head meal." I'm too sad to do that. ”
Yun Wuxian explained the reason, and the angry Bai Ling kicked Yun Wuji. Yun Wuxian looked at Bai Ling's angry appearance and laughed.
In the blink of an eye, the 14th arrived. On the evening of the 14th, Yun Wuji's long-awaited severed head meal came.
As Yun Wuxian expected, if it weren't for Yun Wuxian reminding the food delivery person, the food delivery person would have really forgotten about the decapitated rice. It wasn't until the morning of the 14th that the prisoner suddenly thought of what Yun Wuxian said and said a good word to the king of Hades, and the food delivery knew that Yun Wuxian was going to die tomorrow. Why did he say good things for himself, naturally he wanted to give him benefits, and the food delivery person thought of the matter of the severed head meal.
So, the food delivery person paid out of his own pocket and bought a sumptuous meal of wine and food.
"Your wish has been granted. The food delivery man said, "I prepared this meal for you out of my pocket, and when you go underground, you must say a few kind words for me in front of Hades." If you want to be angry, then you will be angry with those who take your life. ”
"If I go to hell, I will say good things for you. However, I'm afraid that if I die and go directly to heaven, I won't be able to repay your kindness. Yun Wuxian said with a smile.
"You can still be so calm before you die, you are the first person. The food delivery man put the food in front of him without a trace, turned and left.
Looking at the sumptuous dishes, Yun Wuxian is interested. He holds a chicken leg in one hand and a wine jug in the other, eating and drinking. Bai Ling sat on the side, silent.
"Aren't you hungry?" asked Yun Wuji.
"I don't want to die. Bai Ling said, "I practiced for thousands of years before I took on a human form, and I don't want to die like this." ”
"You've lived for a thousand years, haven't you lived to understand?" Yun Wuxian said as he chewed on the chicken leg in his mouth, "I understand, fate is like that." You can't tell what's good about it, and you can't say what's bad about it. Anyway, fate wants you to die, and you can't live. Fate doesn't want you to die, and even if you hang yourself, someone will cut the rope. ”
Yun Wuxian said this, Bai Ling heard it almost enough. It's just that she doesn't agree with Yun Wuji's point of view. Especially when Bai Ling saw Yun Wuxian eating and drinking heartlessly, she felt that Yun Wuxian intended to satirize it.
Bai Ling squatted in the corner, quietly in a daze. Yun Wuxian had eaten very deliciously, but seeing Bai Ling's appearance, he had no appetite anymore. Yun Wuxian put down the chicken legs, wiped the grease stains on his hands, and said, "I really don't understand, the Bai Ling I know is a carefree, heartless little fox." Why, when you become human, why do you have so many desires? Are you changing too fast, or am I not keeping up with your beat?"
"Everyone has their own different responsibilities at different stages. Bai Ling said, "When I was just a little fox, my responsibility was to eat and sleep and absorb the essence of heaven and earth, when I became Mu Rong's doll, my responsibility was to make Mu Rong happy, and now, I am the Qingqiu Emperor, and my responsibility tells me not to be as debauched as before." ”
"Well, you're a person of status now. And I'm still that dog, after I go out, if we're all still alive, don't say you know me, and I don't know you, let's leave it at that. Yun Wuxian took two steps back, leaned against the wall, and slept upside down.
The next morning, the two of them were woken up by a young Taoist priest. Yun Wuxian rubbed his eyes and asked, "Are you going to pull us out and put us to death?"
"You come with me. The Taoist priest of Shushan pointed to the clouds without a trace.
"Is it just me?" asked Yun Wuji.
"It's just you. The Taoist priest said.
"What about me?" Bai Ling asked.
"You're honestly staying here. The Taoist priest said.
"Don't worry, I won't leave you alone. Yun Wuxian said.
Bai Ling nodded, and Yun Wuxian followed the Taoist priest out of the "Ten Thousand Demon Tower", and Jingxu waited for Yun Wuxian at the entrance of the "Ten Thousand Demon Tower". Yun Wuxian was not very surprised when he saw Jing Xu. It seems that all things, all people can't interest him anymore.
"You come with me. Jingxu said.
Jingxu walked in front, and Yun Wuxian followed behind. Jingxu didn't say where to go with Yun Wuxi, and Yun Wuxian didn't ask. The two men walked for half an hour and came to the place where they first met.
"Heaven and earth are divided, yin and yang are realized. Where there is yin and yang, there is right and wrong, there is good and bad, and there are demons and demons and demon exterminators. You are a disciple of Moshan, even if I don't say this, you should know it. ”
"Dao Chief, you look down on me. Yun Wuxian said, "Although I am a disciple of Moshan, I have only been in Moshan for half a year. At best, it's just a generation of Moshan wake, how do I know those profound truths. ”
"Mingxin told me. He said you can fly swordsmanship. Jingxu said, "According to the rules of Moshan, only mages can practice flying sword arts. In this way, you are already a mage. There are not many people in the Moshan Sect who can become mages. Don't you cherish who you are?"
"Of course I want to cherish who I am. But how can I cherish my identity? Dao Chief, you can show me a clear path. ”
"Shemales can't coexist. Jingxu said, "If you want to make your stand, the first thing you have to do is to kill the demon girl who is traveling with you." ”
"What else?" asked Yun Wuji.
"There is no other way. Jingxu said.
"The Dao Leader should know that the Nine-Tailed Spirit Fox is an ancient divine beast. They are also demons, but they are different from the other demons. They were born to be the protectors of Qingqiu, and in that sense, they weren't monsters. ”
"Your words don't match the facts. Jingxu said, "The nine-tailed fox lowered our eyelids and released all the little demons in the 'Ten Thousand Demon Tower'. Do you know how many lives will be killed if those who want to escape to the human world? Isn't the purpose of our purpose in subduing demons and subduing demons to protect mortals? ”
After a pause, Jingxu continued: "Of course, I shouldn't have told you these words. Today is the 'Deepavali Conference', as long as I give the order, you and that little fox will die." It's just that I remembered that you are Mo Xingzi's apprentice and know magic, and I pity you for this talent, so I gave you this opportunity. If you're not sure, I'll say nothing. ”
"If I hadn't killed Bai Ling, what means did you use to kill it?" asked Yun Wuji.
"When the time comes, I will have people put it in the furnace of the 'Nine Flavors True Fire' and burn it for seven seven and forty-nine days. Rao is his thousand-year-old way, and when the time comes, it will disappear. Jingxu said.
Listening to Jingxu's words, Yun Wuxian was shocked to sweat. Yun Wuxian pondered, if Bai Ling was really put into the furnace of the 'Nine Flavors True Fire', not only did Bai Ling not exist, but Mu Rong's soul also did not exist. For the sake of Mu Rong, Yun Wuxian decided to save Bai Ling, even if it was at the cost of his own life.
"Well, I promise you. Yun Wuxian said, "At the 'Demon Slayer Conference', I will kill Bai Ling in front of all the immortal cultivators. However, you also have to grant me one request. ”
"What are the requirements?" asked Jingxu.
"When the time comes, I will kill Bai Ling in my own way. You can't be overly intervening. Yun Wuxian said.
"What's your way?" asked Jingxu.
"Can I not tell you?" said Yun Wuji, "I've already made a big concession to you. I don't want you to push my limits further. ”
