Chapter 261: Mingzhi
Are you kidding?
That's not the answer I'm looking for!
I struggled with anger in my heart, and I felt that the patriarch's arm was like a vine, binding me firmly. He leaned close to my ear, his gray hair brushing my cheeks, and only his gentle voice was heard, with sadness:
"This is a debt to me, and I cannot repay it except to hug you...... I'm sorry...... I'm sorry...... Meiyi, you have to be good, you will definitely be good......"
A hot tear rolled down my cheek and down my neck, it was his tears.
It's just inexplicable!
I shrank away, broke free from his shackles, and emerged from under his arms.
"Hey, I respect you as the patriarch who forgot to say anything, and worry about the lives of mankind, you can just say it well, why don't you take me into your arms without my consent, it's so rude!" I pointed at the patriarch and reprimanded.
"Meiyi, put your fingers down. Forget to say reminded not far away.
It's good that I didn't hit him, but seeing that he is old, he has a city government, and he is calm and determined, why is he a little crazy?
But I put my fingers down anyway. Because the expression of the person in front of him was too strange, it made people feel a little hairy.
I saw that his face was sad and sad, as if he had aged dozens of years in an instant—he was already very old, at least he looked the oldest of all the people I had ever met.
At this moment, the patriarch seemed to have lost his bearings, his white hair was flying, his eyes were red—he had indeed cried—and he looked remorseful and excited, and stretched out his hands to me. But, I'm sorry, I can't let you touch me again, your secrets and grief, I've never been involved, forgive me for not being able to empathize.
But a weeping, remorseful old man faced me, holding up his hands like a helpless child—I felt a little sorry for me.
It's unbearable. I was a little sad and a little irritable, and I didn't want to face this situation again, so I turned and walked towards the forgetful words.
"Meiyi, it was the King of the Blood Clan who did the tricks and helped you hide your true identity, didn't you?" The patriarch behind him spoke in a small voice, but it was enough for me to hear clearly.
I shuddered and stopped.
How could he, the patriarch of a human race, know this?
I didn't turn around.
The patriarch continued: "Are you surprised that you saw the human-faced strange fish in the river just now? The fish in a river all have human faces, are attracted by blood, and hate to eat people! But we are no longer surprised, because for 2,000 years, there have been many evils in this world, and how many good and decent lives have suddenly become demons and bloodthirsty killings since the day they began! Do you know who gave all this to him?"
I didn't answer.
"It's him, the guy who helped you hide your true identity. The patriarch's voice was filled with deep disgust and fear: "Everything he does is for himself, he wants to drag this world into a bottomless abyss! Meiyi, don't let him succeed, don't become his accomplice! Whether this world will fall into darkness or see the light again, it's all up to you!"
"Enough!" I interrupted him with a low snort.
I still didn't look back, looking at the forgetfulness not far away. What a beautiful boy, his skin was like honey, his eyes were like a stag drinking water by a clear spring, and his breath was like a cool sigh on a summer night. For his resurrection, I have made a pact with the King of the Blood Clan in the Holy Star Castle who has lived for more than 2,000 years. Forget that he is now standing alive and shining in front of me. The King of the Blood Clan promised me, he did it, and then, it was time for me to fulfill my promise, and the rest, don't put the burden on me, I, a Witch Shadow Clan who has been sleeping soundly for sixteen years, what qualifications and abilities do I have to bear the revival or sinking of this world!
"I'm sorry, I'm destined to disappoint you. I still turned around and faced the patriarch, no matter how secretive he spoke, I still wanted to say to him face to face: "Since you already know my identity, don't force me to subvert this world from your human standpoint, besides, even if I want, I can't do it......"
"Don't tell me any 'position'!" The patriarch's eyes were like lightning, and he said viciously: "If you have to talk about your position, then you will naturally stand on the position of 'humans' and 'Witch Shadow Clan'!
"I'm not trying to abandon anyone, even I don't know how I suddenly changed from a human to a Shadow Clan overnight, and I don't know what a 'front' is," I watched his arrogance rise, and my voice lowered instead: "I don't understand what you like about me in all the fights for me? For the sake of his life, I made a pact with the King of Blood, and then I will go and complete them one by one to save this world...... There's really nothing I can do. ”
"You cowardly fellow......" The patriarch was extremely angry, his long eyebrows were raised, his face was pale, and he chirped: "My clan has lasted for five thousand years, and I have been searching up and down, and finally waiting for you, but I didn't expect you, you to follow ...... Same!"
"What am I like?" I asked, not hearing clearly.
The patriarch did not answer, hung his head, stroked his forehead with both hands, and was speechless for a long time.
I looked at his messy gray hair and his hands with exposed green muscles, and I couldn't say anything.
"You and him...... What agreement did the King of the Blood Clan make?" the patriarch finally raised his head, his voice tired.
I hesitated, but finally shook my head and didn't answer his question. I don't know if it's appropriate to say my agreement with Boundless in front of a third party.
The patriarch sighed and laughed at the sky, his voice was like a broken bell, loud but desolate, and it spread far away, alarming the fish that were faintly swimming under the river, and the large shadows suddenly dispersed.
"Hello...... Good...... Good ......" The patriarch faced the sky and said three "good" words in a row.
There was inexplicable grief and indignation in his tone, as if he was in pain, and he made accusations, but he said half of the words, but he didn't know who the "you" in his mouth was.
Is it me? I'm a little weak-hearted.
Forgetting words and Kazama finally felt that something was wrong, and no longer waited for the patriarch's instructions, and ran over.
"Patriarch!" called out respectfully, beside me, reaching out to hold my hand as if it were a natural thing.
I was still flustered, but as soon as I touched his gentle palm, the world suddenly became clear.
"Patriarch, please believe in Meiyi," Wuyan shook my hand and said to the patriarch: "Meiyi is trustworthy, even if one day, this heaven and earth will be abolished, Meiyi will still retain her pure heart." Why do you have to force her to agree? How can she make a decision easily when she is not sure? Please believe her, when that day comes, she will make a decision that she thinks is right, and that 'right' decision must be the real 'right' decision!"
I couldn't understand what they were saying as I listened to the dumb riddles with the patriarchs, but I was sure of one thing: there was another person in this world, like my brother, who trusted me unconditionally.
"Meiyi, I'll ask you one last time," the patriarch turned his face slowly to me, with a sad smile on his old face, "Do you have to be on the same front as Wuyi, with him, and abandon the suffering human race?"
"I ......" I was speechless for a moment, so how could I answer?
Because of Wuyi, he forgot to die, and because of Wuwu, he forgot to die and came back to life, he fulfilled his promise, and I naturally can't break my promise; and the lord, lady, brother and painting sea of Red Fortress, their lives are in his hands, and I will go to heaven and earth to fulfill the agreement. However, this does not mean that I am deeply impressed with his atrocities, and I do not mean that I want to 'abandon the difficult human race', and of course I have not thought about the idea of "how can it be my turn to save a small witch and shadow clan of the grand human", that is another matter. In short, I felt extremely embarrassed, and I didn't know how to answer to satisfy the patriarch.
"Okay!" The patriarch nodded heavily, with a smile in his words, but the laughter sounded very harsh: "Sure enough, it is like this again! Heaven and earth are unkind, if you want to kill my human race and my race, how can I bear with you! It's just that I don't accept my words! Today I will fight with my life, bury myself at the bottom of the river, and make my will clear with death! I just hope that when you arrive, you will choose the 'right' decision as you forgot to say! Hahaha!"
My mind buzzed, and I was responding to the meaning of the patriarch's words, when suddenly a sharp palm wind rushed to my face, forcing me and Forget Yan and Kazama to take a few steps back.
The cyan figure flashed in front of him, like a big fish, jumping into the water.
