Chapter 154: I can't bear it
Zhedan did not return to Mount Viriole, but returned to Juling. Rong He is still alive, he can't go to see Houqing, he can only choose what he hasn't done yet. He understood that although Rong He had already died once, and now was the weakest time, he had already become wary of himself, and it would be a hundred times more difficult to get closer than before.
But he didn't expect his face to work so well. It's not that he went to find Rong He himself, but Rong He was waiting for him at the door of Puhuaju. He leaned against the fence, looking like he had learned a little lazy, but his face was not very good, and his eyes were still cold.
"Where has my master gone?" he asked softly, but there was a strong sense of persecution in his tone, and he walked towards Zhedan, already holding his sword in his hand.
Zhi Dan's answer was still the same as before, there was neither panic nor fear in his eyes, and he looked very calm: "I am your master!"
"Are you going to be a fool for me?" Rong He laughed angrily: "At least my master won't stab me for no reason!"
He didn't want to mess around with this fake man anymore, so he raised his sword and aimed it at his throat. He knew that if he really fought, he would have no idea. But so what? He couldn't ask the whereabouts of the master, he would rather have all his remaining eight lives here!
Zhi Dan shook his head, but instead gently brushed away Rong He's sword blade with two fingers, but Rong He immediately took a step back, took the sword again, and pointed it at his throat: "Hurry up!"
As soon as he thought that this person could imitate Zhi Dan's every move, and also turned him around, his heart was even more angry, and he slowly poured his remaining spiritual power into the blade of the sword, preparing that if he was making some meaningless moves, he would do it immediately.
There is probably nothing more painful in the world than explaining "I am who I am" to another person, let alone Zhi Dan, who doesn't know how to explain it at all. He had no way to take out his soul and show it to him, so he had to say, "Zhedan told me to kill you." ”
Maybe he'll do it later, but that's after "wait a minute". Now all he had to do was how to get Rong Yo to remove the sword from his neck, and saying that seemed to be the most useful.
Rong He frowned: "You are still treating me as a fool." ”
As soon as his words fell, the sword blade swept away, and a sharp sword qi came out, directly cutting a bloody mark on Zhedan's neck. He didn't take out the cold moon, but just casually dropped a branch from a nearby tree when he avoided it, and there were flowers on it, which looked as if it was perfunctory.
Rong He went down with a sword, and the petals on the branches flew wildly, and they were all shattered into pieces. His move was fatal, but Zhe Dan just blindly avoided it, and after a while, even the branch in his hand was cut in two, but in this move, Rong He found something very strange - this person's move is very similar to his, as if it was carved out of a mold, this set of swordsmanship is very familiar to him - this is what Zhi Dan gave him back then!
Rong He was shocked in his heart, he was very sure that there would not be a third person in the Six Realms who would be able to use this sword technique, so he immediately restrained his moves, but the person had not yet entered a state of complete relaxation, and he was still looking at him vigilantly.
He believed that if the master was really captured by this person, he would not hand over his swordsmanship to him, then there was only one most unlikely and unbelievable reason - the person in front of him was really Zhedan, but he didn't remember anything, and Houqing also asked him to kill himself.
Now it seems that he is completely listening to Houqing, even if he is really a master, he can't take it lightly. Rong He thought.
"How can you know this swordsmanship?" he asked sharply.
Zhedan didn't know. In fact, he used these moves when he fought with others these days. It's as if this action is born from the heart, and it's just a matter of getting started.
Rong He looked at the confused and dazed expression of the person in front of him, and couldn't help but clench the sword in his hand tightly, but he heard him say, "I don't know." I knew it when I came back to life. ”
"What do you mean by 'coming to life' when you come to life?!"
Rong He suddenly thought that when he asked him what happened, this person had said that he was indeed dead, but he gathered his soul together and made a body with the spirit of mountains, rivers and plants again, is this what he said "come to life"?
So the person in front of him is really Zhedan?
Rong He looked at him with disbelief, the sword in his hand still didn't put down, and asked first: "Since Houqing asked you to kill me, why didn't you do it?" You didn't kill me when you were in the mortal world...... What are you waiting for?"
Zhedan threw away the half of the branch in his hand and said unexpectedly: "I don't want to." ”
"If you don't want to, can you just stop doing it?" Rong He sneered.
"I always felt like I shouldn't have killed you, but I don't know why. So I'm going to ask you," Zhe Dan paused, lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking, a very confused expression appeared on his face, and continued, "I don't understand why...... I'm going to kill my own apprentice. But Hou Qing asked me to do it, and he said it was funny. I don't remember what happened between us, but ...... I just can't bear to kill you. ”
After he finished speaking, he sighed for the first time. In fact, Zhi Dan often sighed before, but now in this situation, his sigh is very different, as if Qing Xuan turned the cup in front of Yun casually, and Shen Di began to talk nonsense, Rong He almost confirmed that he was indeed Zhi Dan at this moment, and as soon as he let go, the sword fell to the ground.
"You're Zhedan...... You just don't remember what happened before, do you?"
Rong He walked cautiously towards him.
Zhedan shook his head. The most he has done these days is to shake his head.
Hou Qing said that I don't have to ask about the past. ”
"He just asked you not to ask him, but that doesn't mean you can't ask others!" Rong He was all excited, he quickly walked in front of Zhi Dan, and held his shoulders with both hands: "I'll tell you now why you can't bear it, because I'm your apprentice! We have known each other since seven hundred years ago, and you are my closest person!"
Zhedan didn't seem to understand the meaning of the word "close", but he didn't resist holding his shoulder, just frowned.
"Then I-"
"There's no need for you to do anything for Hou Qing, even if he's the one who brought you back to life. His previous death was also caused by him!"
Zhedan's brow seemed to be furrowed even tighter. He hesitated and asked, "Yes...... He killed me, he brought me back to life, so that I could kill you......"
"Because that's the only way you can get it. If it were someone else, I wouldn't have treated him so relaxed, so when you stabbed me with a knife, I wasn't defenseless. ”
When he talked about this, his heart began to ache again, as if the injury was not yet complete, so he had to let go of Zhedan and cover his heart with his hand, so that he could feel better. The action with him just now had actually consumed his few spiritual powers, and he said such a long time forcefully, his body couldn't stand it anymore, so he could only pant slowly and sit down against the tree.
So far, he doesn't care what he just said, whether he listened to it or not. Anyway, if he wants to continue to kill himself, then now that he is so weak, it is the best time. But Zhedan just stood at a loss for a while, and then sat down against the tree, next to Rong He, looking very lazy and casual, as if he would fall down at any moment.
Rong He looked at him like this and smiled lightly inexplicably.
"You remember, but you don't remember. At least you sit and walk exactly the same way you did before. ”
Zhe Dan looked down at himself, he just listened to Hou Qing's words, and began to feel that walking and sitting like this was inexplicably accustomed and comfortable, so he continued to do so.
"I don't believe that what you said to me before was all made by Hou Qing to do this, you must still remember some of the previous things, but you didn't realize it. Master, don't worry, if Hou Qing comes again, we will move Ju Ling to the Shangqing Realm—remember? You taught me the spell before, saying that only the mountain saints of every mountain can do this. He doesn't want to hurt you and force you to do things he doesn't want to do. ”
Zhe Dan reacted for a long time before he understood what Rong He said. He just spoke slowly, as if trying to recall, like an old man who was a little unconscious: "You are my apprentice, then Qingxuan is my best friend, and Houqing is, my enemy......"
Rong He was suddenly shocked when he heard him mention the name "Qing Xuan", and almost jumped up from the ground: "Don't tell me that you stabbed him too!" Tianzun has been with you longer than me, and he is even more defenseless against you, and now I am afraid that his cultivation is even lower than mine, if Hou Qing asks you to kill him, this is simply an easy thing!"
Zhi Dan dusted off the petals that fell on his body, as if he was a little resistant to something falling on him, and said, "He didn't let me go to kill Qingxuan." He—has he been with me longer than seven hundred years?"
After he finished speaking, he bowed his head a little sadly: "But I don't remember anything. When I met him, I didn't even know I had seen him before......"
Zhi Dan suddenly remembered that the complicated emotions that flashed on Qing Xuan's face when he said goodbye to him, and there was a trace of sadness in it? Could it be that he already knew that he didn't remember anything, but just came to probe his tone and talk to him?
