43. It is difficult to be accompanied by ominousness

Pan Xuan said: "There are people who are born ominous, and they cannot always be with mortals, you are so, I am so, this is fate." ”

Dong Caiqi pointed his palm at the bonfire, and the wind crept in, and the fire became bigger. She said: "Since the defeat of the Ten Thousand Ghosts, I have led the army of the Colorful Flag Country in the southwest to conquer the north again.... Our Central Plains calls the horizontal part of Snake Bo City the northern border, but in fact, compared with the northern demon countries, it is already considered the south. ”

Pan Xuan nodded and said, "I understand what you mean." ”

Dong Caiqi said again: "I swore to Zhenghu that I would never fight with the Ghost Tiger Sect, so I fought in a roundabout way, only looking for the towns occupied by the rest of the Ten Thousand Ghost Sects, and as for the people of the Ghost Tiger Sect, they were by... Dragonblood Nation soldiers deal with. ”

"Out of sight, out of mind, out of my hand, the butcher's knife is not in my hand, and the sin is not in me." ”

Dong Caiqi's eyes were empty, and she didn't know whether to look at the flames or look at the coil, she said: "After the death of the golden cicada, the elite of the ten thousand ghosts was almost lost, and the dragons had no leader, and they fought against each other, compared to dealing with the ten thousand immortals and killing their own people, it was more hardworking. Let's fight a battle, win a battle, and the momentum is like a bamboo, and we have recaptured the north, my hometown, in only one month... I have made a pact with the Empress of the Dragon-Blood Heavenly Kingdom, and she must return the city of Serpent to me, and I will exchange the rich land of the southwest for her. ”

Pan Xuan said: "I see, in the girl's mind, I can't forget my hometown." ”

Dong Caiqi said in a low voice, "The Dragon Blood Empress is very generous and has given me all the territories in the north. But I have long since lost my hometown, and the snake city I returned to is just a ghost of my hometown. ”

If the deceased's relatives and friends are no longer there, where can I be the hometown?

Pan Shu has struggled to come back from another world twice, once to wake up from a dream, once to be punished by God, but every time he comes back, everything is wrong, the world has forgotten him, and even hates his name, if this is the case, how can this be regarded as a hometown?

Dong Caiqi said: "Among the people in the city, there are still young people from the Ghost Tiger Sect and ordinary people from the Snake Sect, the young man grows up rapidly, is irritable and lustful, no matter how he is taught, it is difficult to correct, and it will soon become a great hidden danger. I had no choice but to issue a decree that once the boy grew up, he would leave the snake boy and enter the black wilderness grassland. ”

"Exile?"

Dong Caiqi said in a bitter voice, "Yes, exile. But the mother .... I couldn't bear the children, so I had to send soldiers into the house to arrest those teenagers, and escort them out of the city one by one. I'm really... I can't help myself..."At this point, my eyes were already red.

"Was there a second way to go?"

Dong Caiqi shook his head and said: "Even if I don't do it, the Dragon Blood Empress will not tolerate them, after all, I am her vassal, and she has already ordered: within three months, all the ghosts in the territory will be eliminated." At this point, I have to look at the big picture. ”

Pan Xuan said: "In ancient times, the people in power made difficult choices, and if they didn't hurt people, they couldn't save people. No single decree can benefit all. ”

"A few years later, the descendants of the Ghost Tiger Sect have been expelled, and some of them have formed rebel armies and attacked the town, which I have suppressed, and by this time, the situation has finally stabilized," Dong Caiqi said. But... I never expected that the truly terrible enemy would always be by my side. ”

Looking at the starry sky, he said, "Is it a big-eyed owl?"

Dong Caiqi said: "Yes, it's it." This big-eyed owl is my mentor, but he is also a very treacherous monster. It longs for war, for me to kill, because for every time I kill, it reaps the benefits of it. For a few years, I focused... Faith and prayer, then it will be the administrator, in the court, by the big-eyed owl sitting on the throne, His Royal Highness is all ministers, the matter spread, everyone said that I was incompetent, called this matter 'night owl when the court'. ”

"Faith prayer?

Dong Caiqi stroked his cheek and said, "I have converted to the Snake Emperor's co-worker." ”

Pan Xuan's heart moved, and he wanted to ask her why she was like this, but Dong Caiqi said very quickly: "The big-eyed owl is extremely wise and far-sighted, and the decrees it promulgates, at the time, seem to be harmless, but they always leave great hidden dangers, and in a few months, years later, they will provoke a rebellion. Then it asked me to personally lead the army to kill the enemy, and over the years, the northern border rebelled more than ten times, and each time the blood of the killing was like a river, and the snow field was scarlet. ”

Pan Xuan sighed: "In this way, the Eight Demons will finally be freed. You may not be able to control it anymore. ”

Dong Caiqi said: "By the time I wake up, it will be too late. In the months that followed, the people of the city died tragically, and their flesh and bones were eaten to pieces. I sent people to track down the demon, but they found nothing, and the people of the city were terrified, and their morale fell to the bottom. One night, I spotted signs in the Big-Eyed Owl's lair and tracked it down to witness it break into the farmhouse and kill a couple. I couldn't bear it anymore and started with it, and I lost both.

But I still had the upper hand and wanted to kill it, and suddenly, this demon.... The size of the body swelled, the appearance changed drastically, and it became this devilish giant bird, its mana increased several times, like the king of Hades, in just one hour, half of the city has been destroyed, and the people have lost countless lives. I watched it wreak havoc, but I was powerless to stop it.

It seems to have some pity for me, or maybe it thinks I'm not enough to kill me. When it was satisfied, it flapped its wings and looked down at me, its moon-like eyes piercing my heart like sharp blades, and I knew it was mocking my stupidity, my hypocrisy, my weakness, my foolishness. In an instant, it turned around and flew into the night, leaving only corpses everywhere and me guilty. ”

"I guess it's still very closely related to you, and your mind affects it, otherwise you won't stop." ”

Dong Caiqi said gloomily: "Yes, it is possible, but that is also very limited, otherwise I should be able to stop it from killing.... After that day, news came from various cities in the north one after another, saying that there were monsters infesting and killing people. I don't know why it became so powerful in an instant, and I didn't care about it, so I asked Suojiu, Master Qianfeng, the Dragon Blood Empress, and the Lord of Xiaoyao for help. But the beast was extremely clever, as if sensing that something was wrong, and finally left the northern realm and flew towards the northern demon country.

At this point, I no longer have the shame to be the lord of the country, the marquis, and the dragon blood empress, she readily promised to send the blood cloud country to take over my fief. I had no worries, and I was alone, and set out on a journey to find this enemy. ”

Seeing that she was extremely melancholy and in a precarious mood, Pan Xuan thought for a while and asked, "Do you remember the season when the big-eyed owl turned into the eye of a strange beast?"

Dong Caiqi said: "Of course I remember, I will never forget it for the rest of my life, it was ten years ago, on the night of the February Festival of the Snake Uncle, what do you ask for?"

He took a branch, made a gesture on the ground, calculated it for a moment, and sighed, "In this way, this fault should be recorded in my account." ”

Dong Caiqi was puzzled and asked, "Why did the city lord say this?"

"That day is the day I killed the tyrannical Hades, and the death of this Hades will cause a drastic change, or it may be related to the upheaval of this big-eyed owl..."

Dong Caiqi said "ah", slapped his palms, and said: "Really, it's true, the big-eyed owl was in the Soul Gathering Mountain, and was detained and tortured by the tyrannical Hades for a long time, and it seems that he was cast a spell, and he was heavily restricted, and he died of tyranny, that.... That..."

Pan Xuan laughed and said: "It's a coincidence, it's a coincidence, I can't imagine that a disaster will be eradicated, and then there will be a disaster, it's really unpredictable!"

Dong Caiqi said angrily: "You're still laughing! You're still laughing! You're in trouble? so many lives are dying, you.... You really don't care?"

Pan Xuan scratched his head and said, "When I killed the king of Hades, I had a good heart. ”

Dong Caiqi said angrily: "Is there still a shortage of people in the world who do bad things with good intentions?

Pan Xuan gestured his finger and said: "First, although this matter is a coincidence, it may not be really related; second, even if I do it, I am an unintentional mistake; third, even if it is an unintentional mistake, I should try my best to remedy it, and I will not try my best to help the girl now? ”

Dong Caiqi listened to his reasoning, laughed dumbly, and said: "What a knowledgeable and well-informed person, I understand the righteousness, you bring me so many high hats, how can I blame you?" paused, crossed his hands on his hips, and shouted: "I thought that this matter had nothing to do with you, you were just helping you and being grateful to you, but when I look at it today, it turns out that you are also a troublemaker." That's helpless, bother my brother to let me send it, don't push me back. ”

Pan Xuan said: "You let me do things, I have never been sloppy, which one is not done properly?"

Dong Caiqi blinked and said, "In addition to saving Cage Fan, what else did you do for me?"

Pan Xuan thought to himself: "Wu Qi is the only one who has this matter, and Pan Xuan can really be a lot." He smiled slightly and said, "I'm thin-skinned, I don't boast about my merits, the girl knows it." ”

Dong Caiqi also laughed, feeling a lot more comfortable, it stands to reason that she learned that this Wu Qi was also guilty of being reborn in the eye of a strange beast, and she should have hated him, but at this moment, she only felt relaxed and happy, and felt relieved.

For a long time, she always blamed herself for the sudden transformation of the big-eyed owl, so her conscience suffered, she was tormented, she was lonely on the journey, and there was no one to share her feelings and express her grievances. Unexpectedly, at this time, Wu Qi came out and shared most of the sins, Dong Caiqi seemed to be saved in an instant, poked his head out from under the deep quagmire, and was finally able to breathe happily.

They are all sinners, and they should work together to share weal and woe. Dong Caiqi didn't blame him, but thanked God for allowing him to finally meet this person.

Pan Xuan solemnly rolled up his sleeves, looking like he was showing his strength, and asked, "Why did the eye of the strange beast come here?"

Dong Caiqi said: "Maybe it's also chasing the wandering sand? I didn't figure it out, but I vaguely sensed that it would come here, so I chased after it." ”

Pan Xuan shook his head and said: "Even if this wandering sand is extremely powerful, the eight demons can also hold infinite mana, but once something goes wrong, even the eight demons will also be killed by the wandering sand, and the mana of the big-eyed owl is comparable to the king of Hades, it is extremely difficult to go further, so why take such a risk?"

Dong Caiqi replied: "It doesn't matter what happened anymore, if you and I join forces and collect the three treasures of the Alien Beast Society, we should be able to defeat this demon." ”

"What about after the victory?"

Dong Caiqi blushed and said softly but firmly: "No, I'm not sure where I'm going, but... Most of them will still go to 'him'. ”
