Chapter 24: Departure
I don't know how long it took for me to wake up, the demon king was sitting cross-legged on the stone platform, and Zhang Yi was lying on the stone platform beside him. Wen Lin sat in the distance with the white tiger, and it seemed that the white tiger's injury had healed a lot.
"Mask, how long have I been asleep?"
The mask didn't answer me, probably still resting.
I walked over to Wen Lin, he looked up and saw me and stood up, "How are you?"
"It's okay. I squatted down and touched the white tiger's head, "How is the white tiger?"
"It's nothing, as long as it's not a fatal injury, it heals quickly. ”
I didn't say anything more, and turned to walk towards the Demon King.
"He's fine. "Before I could speak, the Demon King said to me.
"Ah...... Good. The Demon King's sudden opening made me a little embarrassed, "There's something I haven't understood all along......"
"Why did he suddenly become so strong?" the Demon King interrupted.
"Hmm...... Right. "I'm a little puzzled as to why the Demon King knows what I'm trying to say.
"You sit down, I'll talk to you slowly. The demon king slowly turned to face me, and I sat across from him, "Do you know Zhang Yi's background?"
I shook my head.
"He is a descendant of the Earth Lord, but he is not as lucky as you, and he has not inherited all the abilities of the Earth Lord, not even half of it. The demon king paused, "In ancient times, I led the demon soldiers to revolt, and they fled here, and the ghost soldiers chased and killed here, I thought I was cornered, who knew that the earth and the spirit were rushed to help me, the earth has a strong self-healing ability, he healed the injuries of my demon soldiers, and passed on the three successful forces to help me resist the pursuit of the ghost world, the spirit was at odds with the ghost world at that time, so he came forward to fight with me, and the earth was inconvenient to come forward, so he helped me build this land of the dead." After I obtained the three success powers of the Earth Venerable, I absorbed the essence of heaven and earth, and increased my power by five times, which surpassed the ghost Venerable, and with the help of the Spirit Venerable, I easily resisted the attack of the ghost world. After the Demon Realm was stabilized, I vowed to make the Demon Realm peaceful, so I sacrificed half of my strength to let the Land of the Dead change its location once every 500 years, and I was isolated from the world for peace. After I found out that he was a descendant of the Earth Venerable, I had been treating him for a while, and the last time I treated him with the descendant of the Heavenly Venerable, I passed on all my nine success powers to him, and it can be regarded as the return of things to the original owner. The Demon King looked at Zhang Yi, "Although his skills are not as much as inherited by you and the descendants of Tianzun, his comprehension is stronger than yours, so his skill is much stronger than yours. ”
"Then won't it be so difficult for us to save Jairus?"
"You still have to be very careful, the success of the three Earth Venerables plus the success of you and the descendants of the Heavenly Venerable are not successful, and it is still a little difficult to deal with those demon soldiers. ”
"Can his body stand it with so much power so suddenly?" I was a little worried.
"That was supposed to be his. ”
"What happened to the Earth Venerable?"
"Later, the ghost zun still found the earth zun, at that time the earth zun's skills were not as good as the ghost zun, before we arrived, the ghost zun killed the earth zun, fortunately the earth zun kept his descendants, so that the earth zun did not break the root vein. The demon king got up and looked up at the sky, and sighed, "The people of the world depend on you." ”
I got up and walked over to Zhang Yi, who looked much better, his eyebrows soothed.
"Alas, I found Zhang Yi and Jianxi, and I don't know where the girl is now, how is it, and whether she is still alive. I thought to myself.
"Uh......" Zhang Yi slowly opened his eyes.
"Are you awake?" I helped Zhang Yi up.
"Uh...... Liu Xi, are you still alive?"
"Of course I'm alive, I'm here to save you. How do you feel?"
"I'm fine, just a little bit of a headache, like I've been asleep for a long time and have a dream. ”
"It's okay, what happened to you and Jairus after I fell off the cliff?"
"We are worried about your safety, and we are trying to go down the cliff to save you, and a large group of ghost soldiers appeared to surround us, we fought hard to get out of the encirclement, and the ghost soldiers chased us all the way, and we escaped the pursuit and entered here unintentionally, and then met another group of ghost soldiers, and the ghost Zunli also came here, and those ghost soldiers seemed to have deliberately led us here, and I suddenly felt that it was dark in front of me after seeing it, and I didn't know anything. ”
I helped Zhang Yi up, "We're going to save Jairus." ”
"Where is it?"
"In the depths of the Ghost Village. I pointed to the townhouses in the village.
Wen Lin and Bai Hu saw Zhang Yi stand up and walked over, "How is it?" Wen Lin patted Zhang Yi on the shoulder.
"It's okay. Zhang Yi said.
"You two know each other?" I asked, a little surprised.
"Earlier than I knew you. They said in unison.
"Since we're all right, let's go. The demon king walked ahead, "I'll lead the way, follow closely." ”
Everyone didn't say anything more, and silently followed.
"Mask, wake up. ”
"Awake. The mask replied impatiently.
"Don't fall asleep this time, I don't know what will happen before, you have to protect me. I said worriedly.
"When will you be able to take charge of yourself? Besides, what are you afraid of with the descendants of the Earth Venerable to protect you?"
"I still think ...... You are more reliable, Zhang Yi is very powerful in fighting, but he doesn't care about us at all. ”
"It's not that he doesn't care about you, it's that he doesn't know you at all. ”
"What? don't know us?"
"Although he has been taught the power of the demon king, he himself can't control his own power now, the ghost power he uses is just a potential memory, a potential memory left to him by the demon king and the earth honor, he himself actually doesn't know anything at all, so in his memory is just a dream. ”
"Then if we run into those ghost soldiers, his latent memories are not stimulated, won't we be finished?"
"No, as soon as he is angry, those latent memories will be activated, except that his goal is to kill the person who makes him angry, not to protect you. Mask paused and continued, "So, be careful and protect yourself." ”
I didn't speak, looking at the back of Zhang Yi walking in front, I suddenly felt a little strange.
This world is true or false, right and wrong, it seems that I am not the only one who entered this world by accident, and they don't seem to know much about their own abilities.
"Whether it is true or false, if you believe it, it is true, and if you do not believe it, it is false. The mask whispered in my ear again, "Do you remember what you said to the soul crosser on the Soul River? ”
"Who the hell is that Soul Wanderer? He said he could let me stay here, or he could send me back. ”
"He's the one who brought you here. ”
I was silent, looked at the dawn of the sky, and slowly walked towards the depths of the ghost village.
