Chapter 132: Shock
Hou Qing seemed to notice his strangeness, and there was a little ridicule on his face: "I don't need to do anything to you now, I don't like it now." β
Shen Tu knew that he had misinterpreted what he meant, and couldn't help but be slightly annoyed, so he just walked with his head covered, and said angrily: "You can't take me to see the scenery?
"Don't worry, young man. He smiled slightly, as if he was a master of the Tao who had seen through the world, if it weren't for the gods who knew his identity, he would probably have followed him all the time, instead of stopping directly and looking at him with vigilant eyes.
There is no evil qi around this bamboo forest, and it looks very quiet and peaceful, not like a place with an ambush.
"Don't look at me like that," he smiled helplessly, then sighed again, "Okay, then let's stop here." It's been a long time since I've walked with someone else for so long. β
It turned out that he wanted Shen Tu to accompany him for a walk!
Maybe that's not what it means, but God looks like he's getting angrier and angrier anyway, and he has it
Now this place is obviously not the forest next to the Dan Cave, and he doesn't know what method he used to change his shape, and he and he completely changed to another place. The surrounding mountains and forests look very unfamiliar, but they seem to be full of fairy energy, which is incompatible with the evil aura on Hou Qing's body.
He seemed to have returned to a familiar place, and stood still in a clearing in the bamboo forest, and with a flick of his hand, a small wooden house appeared in front of him. The wooden house is unusual, and it looks like it hasn't been inhabited for a long time, but it doesn't look like there's any dust inside.
Shen Tu looked at him coldly and motioned for him to go in first.
Hou Qing smiled indifferently, and walked in. There is no trace of evil aura or aura in this wooden house, and it really looks like an ordinary room. Inside, there was a row of bookshelves, a table, and a chair, all made of wood, and the shelves were littered with fragments of books, which looked a little shabby.
"What kind of place is this?" Shen Tu stretched out his hand and lightly touched the bookcase, and found that it was really wood, and couldn't help but frown.
The pattern that Hou Qing wrote in the palm of his hand just now was a symbol of the exclusive and ghost clan, and he was very familiar with it - if Yu Lei was still there, then there should be one on each of their two brothers, on the back of their necks. Yin Luo had asked him when he applied medicine before, but he only mentioned it lightly at that time, and did not explain it carefully.
Therefore, Hou Qing's meaning is obvious, since he drew this pattern against Shen Di, it means that he must know something about Yu Lei! This is the reason why he has to follow him no matter what!
"This is a house that I built myself...... When I'm usually bored, I just come and take a spin. β
"So, you're going to show me around your house?" Shen Di sounded even more annoyed, he didn't have that much patience to accompany Hou Qing around the way, just wanted to know what he knew about Yu Lei.
Hou Qing ignored his anger, and instead buckled the cords on the row of bookshelves.
"I want to ask a question, do you even see it?"
"Most of the time it can't, and it's photophobic. He said without looking back.
In the end, he found a thin envelope, on which were simply written six words: "My brother Shen Di personally opened".
The moment Shen Tu saw the handwriting, somehow, his heart throbbed fiercely. This is actually his own handwriting!
But it is obvious that this letter was not written by himself, and he has never seen Yu Lei's words, and he firmly believes that his brother has been swallowed by himself in the Northern Desert, where did he get the time to write a letter to himself?
But your own feelings will not be fake. His heart beat inexplicably, but on the surface, he pretended to be suspicious and took the letter.
"If you want to fake, just make a letter from Qingxuan to me. My brother died when he was born, so where is the time to write to me? Do you think I'll believe you?"
Hou Qing seemed to have expected Shen Tu to say this, but a trace of regret appeared on his face. He said, "Sure enough." Cui Jue, what they taught you, of course, will not doubt what they said. β
Shen Di's heart sank, and he stared at him coldly: "What do you mean by this?"
He no longer trusts those people in the underworld, after the incident in the Northern Desert. But no matter what, the place is still where he grew up, so he doesn't want to try to doubt anything anymore, and it's actually tiring to guess.
Hou Qing chuckled a few times, and said unhurriedly: "What are the people of the underworld talking to you? The war between gods and demons, the aura is turbulent, you twin ghost kings can only live one of them, right." Even your master Qingxuan told you that, isn't it?"
Somehow, Shen Tu didn't dare to guess the meaning behind his words, let alone answer him, but pursed his mouth into a straight line.
He knew he was shaking, but he tried his best to restrain his emotions. Because he understands that what Hou Qing tells him next may make him fall into a situation of extreme distrust and even war against the underworld, even to the master, and to everyone around him!
Although Hou Qing's eyes were covered by a black cloth, Shen Di could clearly feel that he was looking at him with pity, as if he was afraid that he would not be able to withstand the blow next and go crazy.
"Didn't you find that you only have memories of the last one or two hundred years, and you didn't know anything about the previous ones? You didn't suspect that you were taken back by the people of the underworld, but you couldn't remember such an important thing at all? Even Cui Jue and the others taught you to read and write, and practice the ghost path, you don't know, as if you think that your memory from the beginning was to go to the world to find your brother?"
Shen Di's face gradually turned pale. He didn't want to believe it, but it was obvious that what Hou Qing said was right, he really couldn't remember it at all, and somehow, he never asked them!
It's no wonder that the people in the underworld knew that he was in the human world at the beginning, but they didn't deliberately look for it, because they didn't know how to face the two people whose identities suddenly changed!
"This matter is very simple, because it was you who died before, and it was your brother Yu Lei who was alive!"
"You, what are you talking about......" he shuddered, as if he couldn't get a complete sentence out of his mind. looked at Hou Qing with red eyes, as if he wanted to slash him to death now, so that he would not say such "ridiculous" words.
"Don't you understand?" he shook his head, "You are the simplest ghost king I have ever seen, at least your brother is much deeper than you." Originally, in the Northern Desert, it was you who died! It was your brother who preserved your body, thinking that you could still live! At that time, I ...... No, Jingmo has been imprisoned in the prison, and he came to see me. Guess what he said? He said that even if there is another war in the future, he hopes that I will remember the old relationship with the ghost clan and save your life. The attention of the friendship with the Heavenly Court was also made by him, where was Wei Juan's idea?Then he felt that these six realms should be peaceful, and he also cultivated the ghost path to the highest realm, and came to beg me again. He said that the road has been paved, and his brother should also experience the pleasures of the world, so let me exchange his life for you!"
After Hou Qing finished speaking, he stretched out his hand and tapped Shen Di's heart, and he didn't know what the expression on his face was.
"Don't you feel familiar with this handwriting, is your handwriting exactly the same as this?"
Shen Tu lowered his head, looking at the envelope in his hand that was already about to be crumbled, and could barely stand.
Did his brother live...... And ever so close to yourself?
But why......
He has no tears, ghosts have no tears, and he is so sad that he can only burn his soul. Blood welled up in his eyes, but it was quickly wiped away.
His thoughts were in a mess, and his heart was getting more and more painful, so painful that he could only crouch down. He even felt like the ordinary wooden house was spinning in front of his eyes. It has come to this point, who should he believe? Could it be that even the master ...... Are you still lying to yourself?
Hou Qing seemed to guess what he was thinking, and said slowly: "Qing Xuan doesn't know about this matter. I didn't lie to you either, I hate to lie to people. It was because Yu Lei knew this that he chose to hand over the letter to me. Because for him the prison is the safest, and the rest of the people ...... He didn't believe any of them. β
After speaking, he chuckled to himself: "So you are simple, you believe what others say, and you don't have any other motives...... However, my letter is not for nothing. You have to promise me one thing first, or there won't be a word in it. β
Shen Tu didn't care about anything now, and said in a dumb voice, "You speak." β
"I want to meet a few old friends who are locked up in the underworld by you, without you as the ghost king, I can't enter the ghost gate - of course I won't break the seal, because, I won't. β
He ignored the meaning between the two "won't", didn't nod or shake his head, just opened the envelope with trembling hands. But this already means that he agreed to Hou Qing's request.
The letter was brief, but he could barely read it after reading only one lineβthe words were so familiar to him that they would drive him crazy.
"My brother Shen Di personally revealed: I'm sorry for this situation...... It seems that there is only one of the two of us left to live. But I believe that if you are the king of ghosts, you will do better than me. Now you are in the ice coffin, but tomorrow you should be free to walk around, and I will give you all what I have learned. The two of us look alike...... But alas, I can't hear you call me 'brother'.
"The person who gave you this letter should be Hou Qing. I don't trust him much, but he'll get this letter into your hands. The people of the underworld can't be trusted, but the queen will definitely not lie to you. β
In the end, the letter was broken without a beginning or an end, and apparently half of it was still in Hou Qing's hands. But he didn't want to hide anything, he just smiled at Shen Di very well: "Your Highness, can you do this deal?"
The end of making a deal with a madman must be that you end up becoming a madman. But Shen Tu felt that he had gone crazy since he knew the truth, and it was better to be more thorough this time. So he didn't care whether Hou Qing could see it at this time, and nodded to him.
