Chapter 44: Lies
Mu Zilin did not listen to Zhao Wuregret's words this time and withdrew from the courtyard, he stood there alone, his face full of sadness.
However, in his heart, there was still a trace of happiness, at least the death of Yuan Bao still had a big impact on Zhao Wuregret, and the terrible red light in her eyes gradually dissipated to show this.
But what is he still grieving about?
Suddenly, he sighed lonely, as if the emotions that had been suppressed in his heart for years had dissipated between this sigh.
Zhao Wuregret suddenly took out a dagger half a foot long from her arms, she held Yuanbao's corpse in her left hand, held the dagger in her right hand, closed her eyes, the dagger that exuded a faint breath of death was inserted into her heart at the moment, Yuanbao opened her eyes and grabbed Zhao Wuregret's arm as fast as lightning.
"Sister without regrets, how can I, Yuan Shaoqin, let you be like this?"
Zhao Wuregret opened his eyes, and Master Li next to him also stood up.
Mu Zilin was not much surprised, because this was a white lie.
Time went back to an hour ago, when Yuan Bao drew his sword for the third time, the sword light approached Mu Zilin's body.
At that moment, Mu Zilin clearly felt that all his body was locked by the black sword light that was speeding in front of him, and there was no way to avoid it.
At the last moment, he closed his eyes, but instead of the pain he had expected, there was a rumbling sound behind him.
At the last moment, the ingots were deliberately crooked. The black sword light submerged into a black stone house behind Mu Zilin, and the stone house shattered and collapsed.
Mu Zilin fell to the ground, and he had no intention of making a move, and the white bone whip was also put away. Rao is the leader of the younger generation of the ghost clan, but in the face of the reincarnation sword technique, he also feels powerless to compete.
"I lost," he said. ”
Yuan Bao held the hilt of the sword in his hand and said: "It should be me who lost, I can feel that your cultivation is far better than me and the teacher, but you have never been a killer." Take me to meet Miss Zhao, and I will definitely be able to untie her knot. ”
So the three of them acted in a play, a tragic scene.
Yuan Bao and Master Li pretended to be corpses and were carried in front of Zhao Wuregret by the ghost clan, perhaps, only when Yuan Bao completely disappeared from this world, Zhao Wuregret's heart knot would be completely opened.
However, in the end, after seeing Yuanbao's corpse, Zhao Wu's remorse was like ashes, and he couldn't see it for a while and wanted to commit suicide.
Zhao Wuregret's right hand was grabbed, and she opened her eyes in surprise, looking at the swarthy young man in her arms looking at her, she was ecstatic and shouted, "You are not dead!"
Yuan Bao stood up and said, "You want to kill me, the real Yuan Shaoqin, with a fake Yuan Shaoqin?"
Mu Zilin said with a strange face on the side: "I'm going to kill you, I'm still a little sure." ”
Yuan Bao smiled slightly and said, "So what?"
Mu Zilin shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's not good, you two are chatting here, let's go first." ”
He glanced at Master Li, there was a little more sadness between Master Li's eyebrows, he glanced deeply at the ingot, and then slowly walked out of the small courtyard with Mu Zilin.
In the quiet courtyard, the ingots and Zhao Wuregret stood opposite each other, and the epiphany around them quickly bloomed and bloomed, and then quickly withered.
The two seem to have returned to ten years ago, and the years have not left the slightest trace on their young faces.
Zhao Wuregret grabbed Yuanbao's hand and said, "Brother Shaoqin, I know you will come back to me." ”
Yuan Bao smiled slightly and said, "Of course, I will never regret what I promised you." ”
Zhao Wuregret said: "I know that I have been sick all these years, especially after my grandmother passed away four years ago, my illness has become even more serious. They told me that I had demons in my heart, and there were two mes in my body, and I didn't believe it, they were all lying to me!"
"Of course I'm lying to you, but since you know that you are sick, you should be healed, let go of the baggage in your heart, and your illness will be cured. ”
"Brother who has no regrets let me cure, I will be cured. ”
Zhao Wuregret pulled the ingots and ran in the yard, skimming the flower beds, countless epiphany petals floating in the air, and a faint fragrance filled the entire space.
Zhao Wuregret seemed to have returned to the appearance of being six years old, barefoot in the flower garden, looking at the petals falling all over the sky, like floating snowflakes, she was so stupid that she sang: "Big barbarian tree, snowflakes are floating, and the ten-year oath is coming today." Young man, Yu Xian fingers, waiting for tonight without regrets. Brother Shaoqin, you're not going to leave me, are you?"
Yuan Bao looked at the beautiful and moving woman in front of him in the sea of flowers, as if the dusty memory of ten years ago had also returned to his mind, he nodded and said, "I won't leave you." ”
Zhao Wuregret smiled happily and danced in the sea of flowers, like a black butterfly, strolling in the clouds.
Then, gradually, Zhao Wuregret's body fell into the sea of flowers, and the petals fell on her body, red and dazzling. Yuan Bao was shocked, hurriedly checked, and found that at this moment, Zhao Wuregret's willow eyebrows were bent, his breathing was even, and he actually fell asleep.
She seemed to see a wonderful scene in her sleep, so much so that the corners of her mouth were slightly hooked and she smiled happily.
Mu Zilin and Master Li walked to the flower garden at some point, looking at Zhao Wuregret who was lying in the sea of flowers, and the two of them had different expressions.
Mu Zilin said a little jealously: "I have known my sister without regrets for four years, she is sad and painful all the time, and it is the first time to see her so happy, Yuan Shaoqin, I lost to you." ”
Yuan Bao stood up, walked out of the flower garden, and said, "I will take Miss Zhao out of the ghost town to heal her illness." ”
Mu Zilin said: "In the past few years, the Zhao family in Xiangxi has asked a world-famous doctor to diagnose her, but this is her heart disease and cannot be treated. Four years ago, under the Big Barbarian Tree, she watched her grandmother die, and the blow was too big for her. At that time, when the Zhao family found her, it was already four months later, she was in a trance, with a wild wolf, sleeping in the wolf's den, completely dehumanized, hey......"
Yuan Bao was stunned for a moment, recalling the scene when he first saw Zhao Wuregret, in a grass house under the big man's tree, he did see a white-haired old woman, who was his master's friend. As for what it was called, he didn't know.
Zhao Wuregret lived in the valley with his grandmother, and watched his loved ones die, and spent four months with wild beasts, when she was just twelve years old.
For a twelve-year-old girl in the flower season, this is undoubtedly the most cruel.
That kind of despair, that kind of sadness, others can't understand.
Yuan Bao said: "I am going to the Valley of Hundred Flowers to find Xue Baoren Xue Divine Doctor, and with his wonderful medical skills of rejuvenation, I will definitely be able to heal Miss Zhao." ”
Mu Zilin said: "Since you have decided, I will not force it, but I will also go with you." ”
Yuan Bao frowned and said, "You are from the ghost clan, and you can't leave the ghost town." ”
Mu Zilin's face darkened, and he muttered: "I almost forgot that I was a foreign race, and in the eyes of you humans, I was a ghost and a monster." ”
In the following days, Yuan Bao and Master Li have been living in Mu Zilin's mansion, because there is no sun, moon and stars here, and Yuan Bao does not know how long it has been, and he estimated in his heart that it should be more than ten days from the abyss.
In these days, he has Zhao Wuregret by his side most of the time, and at the same time, he has also seen another side of Luoshui Ghost City.
The glamorous and dark side on the surface is shocking, this ghost town shows the best side in front of the world, but behind it is killing and sadness.
Every day, the Oni tried to escape through the northern gate, and without exception, they were all thrown into the River of Bones.
In just ten days, Yuan Bao has seen the most tragic side. Killing and being killed are all trivial things in the eyes of the ghost people.
He had gone up to the third floor with Zhao Wuxian and saw at least twenty corpses in an alley, and dead bones could be seen everywhere on the dirty streets of the third floor. The ghost people living in the third layer have already reached a pathological numbness, and sometimes they can kill people in the blink of an eye for a bite to eat.
As for the first layer, it was the largest existence in Luoshui City, where the hub of the entire city was located, and thousands of young people of the ghost clan were shirtless and divided into several areas to work day and night.
Dozens of huge piles of raw ore waiting to be smelted, thousands of bellows, tens of thousands of ghost workers.
On the southernmost side of the first floor, there are women of the Oni Clan who are weaving, and there are thousands of them.
The economic source here is to rely on the human smelting transported from the Changling Underground Passage to make money to buy materials. The Oni people have become cheap productive forces, they can do anything as long as they can survive, and they have much more strength than humans, and the iron they smelt is better than that of humans.
Yuanbao, Li Shishi, and Zhao Wuregret have wandered around the streets on the second floor several times, and the ghost people here do not have much hatred for humans, many of the guys in the shop are Terrans, and even some Terrans have married wives and children here, but the sad thing is that the yin qi here is tyrannical, and mortals can't bear it at all, and the mortals who have entered the ghost town have already entered the yin qi, and if they are lucky, they may be able to live to the age of forty, and most of them will die here at the age of thirty, turning into a wisp of dead soul under the abyss.
Yuan Bao also figured out Mu Zilin's identity, he was actually the son of the ghost fairy Mu Tian. Ghost Immortal Mu Tian can be regarded as the most powerful ghost immortal in the eight ghost cities today, and the ghost art handed down from ancient times is no less than that of Xiangxi and Southern Xinjiang, even if the head of the five major factions of the righteous path wants to restrain him, it is not easy.
In Luoshui City, in addition to the ghost immortal Mutian, there are also eight ghost kings, all of whom are powerful. Further down there are eighteen ghost generals, whose cultivation is by no means below the realm of human Mahayana.
There are about two thousand masters in the entire ghost city who have reached the human sky realm, and the proportion is not high, and most of the other ghost people are around the fourth layer of the Jindan realm, even so, one of the ghost people in the Jindan realm can kill at least a hundred ordinary soldiers of the human race.
Yuan Bao has always wanted to see the ghost fairy Mutian, as far as he knows, the age of the ghost fairy Mutian is at least more than five hundred years old, and it can be regarded as seeing the vicissitudes of the world.
But the ghost fairy Mutian never appeared, and he didn't even see the eight ghost kings in the entire ghost city. He is just a small person of the younger generation, and since others don't show up, it's not good for him to be cheeky and let Mu Zilin introduce him.
At this moment, Yuan Bao finally got rid of the sticky Zhao Wuregret, and stood with Master Li under the stone tablet at the north end of the second layer of Yin Yang Road.
Master Li looked at those indifferent ghost clansmen, his face was indifferent, and said: "The yin qi here is too heavy, we have been in the ghost city for more than ten days, and Senior Brother Zhu's paper crane sent a message saying that our Shushan faction will have masters coming in the near future, and we can't stay any longer." ”
Yuan Bao didn't want to leave this ghostly place, and said, "I want to leave too, but ...... Didn't you want to take the Soul Chasing Sword of the Mother and Son that was sealed in the depths of the abyss by Li Bad's predecessor back then?"
Master Li said: "We can't get the sword in the city at all, let alone solve those two riddles, in my opinion, I will go outside the city to check first, maybe there is a discovery." ”
"No, I can't. Yuan Bao categorically rejected Master Li's opinion, and said: "The outside of the city is extremely dangerous, even Prince Chu has been seriously injured, you must not venture out of the city alone, you still have to wait for the opportunity of the Yin soldiers to borrow the way, maybe there is a glimmer of life." ”
Master Li turned his head to look at Yuanbao, maybe it was because she stayed in this dark place these days, and her face became a little pale.
She stared at the ingots and said, "I have made up my mind, the Yin Soldier is not something that mortals can control, I must go out of the city to check, this is my mission." ”
At this moment, Mu Zilin and Zhao Wuregret walked over.
Mu Zilin seemed to have returned to his former chic appearance, shaking his folding fan and said, "Who said that the time when the Yin soldiers borrow the Tao is not something that mortals can grasp? ”
Yuan Bao is most afraid of seeing Zhao Wuregret now, she follows Yuan Bao almost inch by inch except for sleeping, and she has to hold his hand, which once made Master Li very dissatisfied, and she has been cold to Yuan Bao and Zhao Wuregret for a while.
Yuan Bao said: "Mu Gongzi, what do you mean by this?"
Mu Zilin said with a smile: "Our ghost clan people have lived in Luoshui City for more than 5,000 years, when the Yin soldiers will borrow the Tao from the Yang World is naturally well understood, the last time the eight thousand Yin soldiers borrowed the Tao was sixty-three days ago in the world, and now it is the first day of the seventh month in the world, and there are seven days to the day when the ghost gate is opened, and this year is the year of Jiazi that occurs once in sixty years, and in seven days you will see the beautiful scenery of the Yin soldiers who have seen it once in sixty years." Back then, the six thousand righteous path cultivators were borrowed by the Yin soldiers in the year of Jiazi, so they suffered heavy losses. ”
