Chapter Twenty-Eight: Between Life and Death, There Is a Great Fear
Xingze walked out of the corrugated door, took out a few dried nuts from his pocket and pinched them in his hand, and the plump kernels were sent to his mouth, and the crispy slice rippled in his mouth.
This was a black altar, and if Ge Sheng was present, he would have found that this black altar was very similar to the altar teleportation array in the Temple of Black and White in terms of shape and materials.
Seeing the black-clothed young man walking out of the teleportation array, the silver-haired staff around him knelt down on one knee one after another, calling His Highness, Xingze waved his hand noncommittally, and then walked straight towards the exit, heading to where he should go.
The City of Stars is already a city hidden in history and mythology for the world, but even if it is a permanent resident of the City of Stars, only the best can set foot in it, Xingze walked forward, and there were constantly guards and walkers who saw his figure kneeling on one knee, like a breeze that could blow countless plants and trees to bend their waists, and when finally no one knelt down to him anymore, Xingze finally stopped.
In front of her was an old woman with a white beard, her dry skin was like the coarsest bark, she looked at Xingze, and there was an alert gaze in her eyes: "What happened to the young master?" ”
Surprisingly, although this old woman has an extremely old face, her voice is cold and easy to listen to.
"Ask to see the Star Lord below." Xing Ze said unhurriedly, standing in place and quietly looking at the old woman: "The three elders don't want to delay the next task. ”
"The Star Lord has already passed down the word three months ago, and no one is allowed to trespass for a year." The third elder flicked his right hand lightly, and a slender silver short stick slowly appeared in his hand: "Please forgive me, young master, this is the duty of the old man." ”
Hoshizawa laughed slowly.
The third elder looked at the boy who was laughing out loud in front of her, and his expression did not change in the slightest.
Then the boy in black stopped laughing and sighed.
"The three elders should not be overwhelmed."
As he spoke, he raised a hand and fanned it like a fly.
But on the other hand, the white-haired old woman has become the fly.
Her body scurried backwards uncontrollably, and then slammed into the black door behind her with a loud thud, half of her body embedded in it.
The third elder's eyes were full of incredulity, she coughed and struggled out of the door, obviously such an injury was insignificant to her, but the strength shown by this boy made her deeply frightened,
She is one of the longest-lived humans in the world, she was one of the strongest beings of the Xingche clan long ago a thousand years ago, but in these more than a thousand years, she has never had the shock and trepidation at this moment.
She pondered, then slowly bent her knees, her expression and posture gradually becoming deferential: "Xingtuo has seen the young master. ”
Xing Ze smiled and walked straight past the third elder of Xing Che, pushing open the black door behind her.
Behind the gate was a bleak starry sky, with no boundaries and no directions, but it wasn't the first time Xingze had been here, on the contrary, he knew the way better than the oldest warhorse.
So along the way, he avoided countless dangerous traps and misguides, and finally stopped in front of a white mountain.
There is still a bleak starry sky overhead, and the surrounding land is a strange silver, and only the white mountains that cannot know their height or distance stand here, stretching for thousands of miles.
Xingze looked at the mountains, and then spoke: "I'm here." ”
There was no response, the world was silent, and Xingze didn't make any extra moves, so he stood in place and waited quietly.
Maybe a whole day, maybe longer, finally came the sound of his waiting from the mountains.
"Please come forward."
It was a sound like machinery and water waves, but it was the answer he was waiting for, and Hoshizawa took the first step and began to ascend the mountain.
The white mountains are very steep and devoid of any life or vegetation.
As seen before, the mountain is surprisingly high and surprisingly far away.
Xingze walked slowly, but he climbed the mountain very quickly.
Sometimes, or now, fast and slow are the same thing.
So Hoshizawa came to the top of the mountain.
There was nothing at the top of the mountain, only a man standing.
Xing Ze came to the opposite side of him, did not kneel, but said: "I have seen the Star Lord." ”
The man nodded.
He looks no different from Xingze, Xingze is handsome and does not look like a species in this world, but he looks very ordinary, ordinary eyebrows and eyes, ordinary lips, ordinary figure, ordinary hands and skin.
But he is the star lord, so all this is no longer ordinary.
He didn't look like he was going to die at all, just as he had lived for more than 10,000 years, and he was ready to live for another 10,000 years.
"I'm going to die." But the Star Lord spoke.
"Xiye's Xiguang, who has been dead for six or seven hundred years, Xue Pupil's Xuanran, has also been dead for three or four hundred years, the shadow of Mo Yan, although he is not dead, but it is very different from dead, the sunset of Nihuang was killed by his own son, as for Liu Yan of the Void One Clan, I haven't seen that old immortal for thousands of years, who knows if he died early or survived, the seven people of the year, only Luo Bin and I who returned to the sword and I were good to die in this world." Xingze didn't speak, but the star lord didn't mean to stop.
"I thought that Xi Lan would become the first self-enlightened and sanctified character in tens of thousands of years, but I didn't expect that in the end, the fruit was picked by his son."
"I thought that the Nihuang Society would be the first weak person among the seven clans to die out, who would have thought that the world could give birth to a monster as terrifying as Xitian that devoured the heavens and the earth."
"Yue Yi is also dead, and the saint who only exists for less than a tenth of our lifespan will eventually be the most holy in the world who lights the torch for mankind."
"That slut, a cold-blooded man who renounces wisdom and abandons wisdom, will be the farthest in this world."
"I should have died, but I'm still alive, and I don't even know why, what do you say?"
Xingze never spoke, but when the star lord spoke, he had no reason not to speak.
"Bless my people for ten thousand years." He said.
"." The star lord laughed and said: "It has been more than 10,000 years since I became a saint, and the time of Xingche's existence is even longer, if I die today, will Xingche die tomorrow?" ”
"The reason why I don't die is because I don't want to die." The Star Lord said lightly: "There is a great fear between life and death, at the beginning, the seven of us were willing to be dogs for those golden humans, in addition to their absolute power to wipe out all of us on the spot, the temptation of eternal life is also one of them." ”
Xingze nodded, then took out a few nuts from his pocket and handed them to the ordinary man: "Do you want to eat?" ”
The Star Lord's expression changed subtly, then he raised his hand and took it, stuffed it all into his mouth, chewed and crushed it along with the fruit in the shell belt, and then shook his head: "I haven't eaten it for so many years, and these hard shells are still so unpalatable." ”
Hoshizawa didn't speak.
Then the star lord looked at the boy again: "It seems that you have been outside for a long time and have learned something that I don't know. ”
Hoshizawa smiled, his smile like moonlight on a lotus leaf.
"I've learned more than you ever thought possible."
The Star Lord looked at him: "So, you don't want to die either?" ”
Xingze didn't nod or shake his head, and even his smile was retracted: "Don't dare." ”
The star lord laughed: "I also know that I don't need to continue to live, the taste of eternal life, after tasting it, I don't feel that it is enough, but the moment I really lost it, I feel that it is good to be able to live forever." ”
"You are the fruit tree I planted, and when it is ripe, I am the only one who can enjoy it, even if your fruit has such a hard shell, although it is not delicious, it does not mean that it cannot be eaten." He looked at the boy, "But, frankly, I don't want to eat it." ”
"There are so few things in this world that I haven't eaten, and the biggest use of my life for so long is that I have a choice between wanting to eat and not wanting to eat." The star lord looked at his boy as if he were looking at a ripe fruit: "Only you, I really don't want to eat it." ”
Xingze and the star lord looked at each other, and there was no resemblance between the two of them on their bodies, but only their eyes were the color of silver.
"Don't dare."
Hoshizawa repeated these two words.
The star lord laughed, shaking the mountains at the foot of Xingze.
Then he stopped laughing and looked at the boy again: "I give you the right to dare." ”
"But until then, my gamble will go ahead."
Xingze didn't show the slightest expression: "Good." ”
