168. The Final Chapter - Fate

Previous Chapter

"You misunderstood what I meant, the so-called heart erosion is not to corrode or devour your heart, its effect is to erase your conscience, to put it in a nice way, it is to make your character tougher, understand?"

I didn't expect that there would be such a plant in the world, so I muttered for a moment, "You should have taken Heart-Eater Grass, right?" ”

Wanda Gyatso said: "I have tried to go in, but there are too many lizards in the cave, so I can only grab one or two heart-eroding grasses, and after taking them, I am not sure if I can really reach the level of deceiving the divine beast, so I still dare not rush into the cave." ”

No wonder Wanda Gyatso always feels a little gloomy, probably because of taking the heart erosion grass, perhaps because he saw my inner hesitation, he said: "You have to think about this, the effect of the heart erosion grass is to change a person's character, maybe you were originally a person full of a sense of justice, but after eating it, the sense of justice in your heart will no longer exist, of course, it does not mean that you will become a downright bad person, but in terms of personality, you will be more scheming, I don't hesitate to use the means that I used to scoff at to achieve my goals, but I don't think this is necessarily a disadvantage in today's society, and it may be good for you. ”

This sentence said that my heart moved, if you look at this matter positively, it is basically a "process of immature people into mature people", most of these people I have contacted have ghosts, often treat them with optimism is not the best choice, maybe I should change my character, after all, being a hero is a need for opportunities, even if you have this courage, have this ambition but may not be able to become a hero, but if you can be a tough character, decisive behavior is much better than my current personality that does not rely on, At least in the future, you won't lose when you play against others. Thinking of this, I said, "No problem, as long as I can see the little skewers, I'm willing to try the heart erosion grass." ”

With more and more lizards coming out of the hole, the hole mouth is full, the rancid smell suddenly became great, and the Chinese wanted to vomit, Wanda Gyatso said: "Lizards are cold-blooded animals, and the temperature is low at night, so these animals move very slowly, this is our only chance, but remember one thing, don't ...... anyway" Before his words fell, Uncle Liao stood up and didn't know what kind of spell he cast, only to see his left hand raised, and after a burst of smoke in the air, four huge and flat centipedes appeared.

The insect was so large that it could stand on it, and when the insect climbed down from a great place, it could twist into an "L" shape, carrying us around so that it would not fall to the ground, and the slender insect crawled over the ground without making a sound, and the lizards were not aware that we had passed them, so we easily got into the cave.

The so-called entrance to hell was warm and damp, and the smell was worse than the dirtiest toilet I've ever entered, and Wanda Gyatso seemed to be used to it, and rushed in all the way.

The black inside the cave couldn't see his five fingers, and he immediately took out a night pearl that emitted a warm yellow light throughout his body to illuminate a small area, only to see that this was a naturally formed cave, there was nothing abnormal, but the ground was full of shiny lizard slime, and the smell should come from this.

Following the slope of the cave down the dirt road, we went deep into the cave without hindrance, and sure enough, in an open area grew a plant with black branches and leaves that resembled a bush, and I lowered my voice and said, "This is the heart eater?" ”

Wanda Gyatso nodded and said, "That's right. "After that, I pulled out dozens of grasses with the largest and most lush branches and leaves, and then turned around and retreated to the way I came, because the area in the cave was large, and the night pearl could only shine a very small piece, so I didn't even see the fur of the divine beast.

Returning to the stone platform, Wanda Gyatso took out the heart-eroding grass from his bosom and piled it on the ground and said, "Wait a minute. Then he turned around and climbed towards the mountain behind him, and after a while he disappeared into the mountain peaks, and when he came back with a casserole in his hand, he put down the lid and there was no water in it, and Wanda Gyatso said, "This thing cannot be boiled with water, it has to be made with human blood." ”

I said, "How much blood does that take?" ”

Wanda Gyatso raised his right wrist and pointed a dagger at the artery and said, "We have to shed at least a small half of the blood, can you?" ”

I said, "If you become me, I will do it." ”

Wanda Gyatso did not hesitate to draw a line on the artery, only to see the blood flowing into the casserole like flowing water, and the blood of the small half of the casserole flowed before the blood coagulated, Wanda Gyatso's face turned white, his lips were black, and he trembled a little all over his body: "It's your turn." ”

Of course, I can't be strong when it comes to this, I took the knife and cut my arteries, seeing the blood in my body flowing out like a fountain, I only felt my head dizzy for a while, a minute at this time is simply longer for me than a year, but it didn't take long for Wanda Gyatso to stop my blood and said: "You have a lot of blood today, let's take it easy." So he made a stove out of crushed stones, put the dried branches he had picked in it and lit it, and put the heart-decaying grass in a pot to boil.

After boiling with a large fire, Wanda Gyatso extinguished the fire and smoldered with the residual fire in the furnace, and the heat rose out only to feel that the smell was very strange, it was the kind of slightly sweet green smell, until the evening, the lizards concentrated at the entrance of the cave slowly crawled back into the hole, he opened the lid of the casserole, only to see that the red blood had turned thick black, similar to ink, and the blood did not smell at all, only the green smell of plants, which was not unpleasant.

Wanda Gyatso said: "You have to think about it, half a bowl of heart-eating grass will be in your stomach, and you will not be you from tomorrow." ”

"Actually, it's a good thing to be more mature, to be honest, I prefer that kind of self, but I'm still a little immature at the moment."

"Okay, now that you're sure of what you need, let's meet again tomorrow in a brand new state." After saying this, Wanda Gyatso suddenly appeared with a strange smile, and then drank the soup made of blood in the casserole, and I did not hesitate to drink the remaining liquid and residue into my stomach.

After a while, I suddenly felt a hot breath in my belly begin to move like my head, and then I felt drunk after drinking too much, and then I was dizzy, and I lost consciousness in a daze.

When I woke up again, I don't know how long it was, I saw the three people sitting on the ground with their eyes closed, their heads, bodies, and faces covered with dust.

Did I sleep for a long time? Thinking of this, I inhaled hard, and I just felt refreshed.

It's strange to say, this time when I opened my eyes again, the dependence on these three people was almost zero, if I opened my eyes and saw this situation before taking Heart-Destroying Herb Juice, then the first thing to do was to wake up Uncle Liao, and then ask him about the situation here, but now I didn't think to wake him up at all, but felt that he was a burden by my side, thinking of this, I got up and got on the body of the worm, and then went down to the flat ground and then went towards the cave, This time, I didn't have the slightest panic in my heart when I saw the dense big lizards in the cave, and I felt abnormal when I was in a calm mood.

All the way to the depths of the cave I suddenly felt that everything seemed very familiar to my eyes, originally I thought that maybe it was just my own hallucination, but there seemed to be a force in the dark that controlled me to lead me to a seemingly gray stone, I took out a rune from the treasure bag and stuck it on the stone, only to hear a soft click, a huge stone in front of me began to move slowly, and then a huge cave appeared in front of me.

At this moment, my heart was like water, and I walked into the cave steadily.

There was a strange green light flickering everywhere inside the cave, if it was an animal's eyes, then it meant that I must have fallen into a beast's lair, but then these green lights floated one by one, and it seemed that it could not be the eyes of animals, so I secretly sighed.

I was standing in the middle of the cave, and not far in front of me stood a huge pool carved of white jade, in the middle of which was a winged man, somewhat like an angel in Western mythology, but with age, the "angel" was covered with moss and mud, and in the pool there seemed to be bat droppings in addition to the mud.

There was a bluestone paved road on each side of the pool, and at the end of each road there was a hole about one person high, but I did not hesitate to enter one of the caves, and there was almost no temperature in the cave, and when I entered, I felt a cold air hitting my face, which was colder than the moon day, and soon my eyebrows and hair were covered with ice ballast, but my body did not feel cold at all.

I don't know how long I walked, suddenly I vaguely noticed a flash of fire at the end of the hole, which made me refreshed, speed up the pace and rush over, the closer to the entrance of the cave, the more clear the fire to see, through the hole I saw a not very large space, in which grew the root of a huge old tree, and on the root of this tree sat motionless a man dressed in white, full of white hair, he was facing me, his face was also extremely pale, but his eyes were closed, otherwise he and I could just look at each other.

My heart is still as still as water, and I just quietly bypass this old tree and continue to go down.

The passage that followed was several kilometers long, and after passing through it, my eyes suddenly lit up, and I entered a huge space.

The first thing that catches your eye is a lot of bones, I don't know how many people have died here, and the ground is full of human bones, some of which are shattered and miserable. As for the rest, it can only be described as wonderful. The space in the cave was only a small bowl compared to this place, and the walls and floors built in the huge space were made of exactly the same material as the "ancient castle" of Tieniu Mountain, which was very smooth, but people would not slip when they walked on it.

In addition to the white bones, there is also a strangely shaped pond in the huge space, which is full of glittering mercury, and around the pond are six huge black pillars, each carved with a golden dragon. In front of the pillars and pond was a huge tower with three steps, and in the middle of the tower stood a huge stone tablet with a faint blue light, on which were written in strange fonts two huge characters.

Although the whole space is huge, the top is full of natural crystals that reveal a mysterious white light, so everything can be seen clearly.

In this huge space, everyone feels insignificant. And the words on the stele are actually - Dragon Tomb.

Rao is my psychological quality has been greatly improved, and at this time, I was also shocked and excited, and I got goosebumps.

I was actually taken to the Dragon's Tomb by myself.

Suddenly, a sentence popped up in my mind, and I couldn't help but say it at the moment: "This matter is related to the fortune of the country, and it must not be taken lightly. "How could such a sentence pop into my head? The thought of this makes my heart beat to the limit.

At this time, I remembered that Wanda Gyatso had told me that when I encountered something unclear, I could ask the wolf's teeth, although I knew that this was an extremely unreliable statement, but what else could people do with me? The only way to try is to try everything you can.

Thinking of this, I picked the wolf tooth hanging from my neck with my trembling hands, but when I took it out, I was stunned.

The wolf tooth didn't know when it was actually replaced with a jade pendant, and the three reconnected thin seams on the round jade pendant could be seen clearly.

When the three jade pendants are reconnected into one, they can wake up the sleeping Flying General. I remember Uncle Liao's words clearly.

At the same time, I only heard a dull roar, and I saw a huge beast in the depths of the cave slowly come out, this is a Qiu Yin, compared with the one I saw on the sea, the only difference is that it has nine heads, this is an enlightened beast with nine heads and one tail, I saw it slowly come to my side, bend its legs and kneel down like a small skewer on my legs, and my demeanor is extremely intimate.

At the same time, there was a loud scream, the sound faintly cracked gold and gravel, only to see a black shadow jumping down from the height of the cave, the rat demon stood firmly in front of me, still the same appearance, but the demeanor seemed to be a little more respectful, but compared with the previous it has six more tails, my rat demon is actually a nine-tailed Lu Wu divine beast.

After I got through the initial panic, I gradually calmed down emotionally, although I have always felt that Uncle Liao and I have his purpose to be with me these days, but I can't imagine that it will be such a result when I am killed, but I can't imagine that I will be ......

I calmed myself down again, not to overestimate myself, because I have never shown any higher abilities than ordinary people, how can I become "him"?

I saw the rat demon...... No, it has a "real name", and from today I shouldn't call it a rat demon anymore, this seemingly cute rat is named Lu Wu.

It slipped on its enlightened back, and then the two divine beasts turned around and walked towards the depths, Lu Wu turned around and gave me a sharp scream, of course I understood what it meant, and immediately followed, as it passed by the mercury pool, I clearly saw my own reflection, it was indeed my Yang Chuan's appearance, so my mood calmed down a little.

I saw two divine beasts take me to a raised stone peak, the rat demon jumped up, climbed on the boulder, and then it raised its fingers, and suddenly the fingertips ignited a raging fire, the rat demon's fingers were a little empty, only to see the fire gushing out at its fingertips, and the top of the stone cave suddenly rose a straight line of flames, with the fire through the quartz on the top of the cave, the reflection of mercury in the pool, and the light in the black dragon tomb suddenly brightened.

And I could see the pictures carved on the stone walls, and I finally understood everything when I looked at it from top to bottom.

The mural records that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent the flying general to carry out the task of thorning the dragon, and then this group of earth-shattering assassins finally discovered that the so-called "dragon" is basically a thing called the thorn ghost python.

And the thorny ghost python is not special to me, I have seen this creature in the Dongsha Islands, but because it has horns on its body, it is misunderstood that this is the birth of the dragon, and this creature is naturally defenseless in the hands of the flying general, so a battle of "thorny dragon to defend reputation" has become a farce.

As soon as I thought of this, I heard Uncle Liao's voice come and say, "General Li, since you have awakened, there is naturally no need for us to explain the things here." ”

After that, I saw the torch cave at the entrance of the cave, Uncle Liao and the three people in the Dao Gate of the Immortal Wind Dao Bone walked in together, and when I saw him, I wanted to call him Uncle Liao, but when the words came to my mouth, I only opened slightly, and the corner of my left mouth sneered: "Why do you want to wake me up?" ”

"It's not that we deliberately disturbed, it's just that the general doesn't have a reincarnation period of seven hundred years, which is clearly recorded in Taoist immortal arts, and we just help the general recover his memory."

Maybe it's because I didn't drink Meng Po soup, the memories of the past instantly revived in my mind, and a series of top-secret past events that lasted for thousands of years passed slowly in front of me like a movie, how I was secretly selected by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty as a candidate for the thorn dragon, how the Gu master and the Taoist priest showed their magical powers and transmitted all kinds of magical energy into my body, and when I found the thorny ghost python and was about to kill it, I saw two divine beasts next to the ghost python, enlightened and Lu Wu.

The "dragon" mentioned by King Loulan actually does not have the slightest magic at all, and a snake can eventually grow into a thorny ghost python precisely because of the secret manipulation of the other two divine beasts.

I suddenly understood a truth, no matter who you are in this world, there is always an invisible force behind you to control you, no matter how strong your ability is, how awesome you are, but you will always be the one who is manipulated.

And then, after an earth-shattering battle, I finally paid for the two divine beasts and became the power to control them.

It is precisely because of this great war that the power accumulated in my body was completely awakened, and at that moment I suddenly felt that the emperor was just a mortal in front of me, why should I accept his control, so I found three henchmen and asked them to choose a place to live, so as to ensure that their physical bodies are immortal, my soul can live forever in heaven and earth, and I can be reincarnated once every seven hundred years, but the body controlled by the soul is not itself, so my memory needs to be awakened, and whenever I wake up, In return, I will give some of my skills to these mortals.

Therefore, every time this time comes, it is the beginning of the life-and-death struggle of the people in the Xuanmen, because everyone wants to invite this credit in front of me in order to obtain the greatest benefit.

I sneered, "Actually, you already know that there are no dragons in this world, right? ”

Uncle Liao said: "The dragon was born in the poor mountains and bad waters, and was buried between heaven and earth, so how can the dragon tomb come from, it is naturally not true that it comes from human hands." ”

"So General Feitian shouldn't exist in the world at all, it was you people who bewitched the emperor in order to obtain benefits, and used the method of Xuanmen to create a person who is not a ghost or a ghost, and defrauded a large amount of treasures and wealth, but have you ever thought about my feelings?" I swallowed the anger and sadness in my heart.

"Li ......" After thinking about it carefully, Uncle Liao changed his words again: "Skewers, everyone wants to live forever, it's rare that you have such an opportunity, aren't you satisfied?" ”

I said coldly: "The reason why people seek to live is because you don't understand the benefits of the death of the will, the sorrow of this life ordinary people only need to bear it for a lifetime at most, and I can never get out of it, what is the meaning of this kind of pain that will never be forgotten for people?" ”

"But you also enjoy endless glory and wealth, which is also beyond the reach of ordinary people." Uncle Liao said.

"No matter how beautiful things are, if you experience them for too long, they will only become boring, not to mention that I am just a weight for you to compete for interests, I have been used by you for thousands of years, do you want to continue? Don't forget that I am a human being, and human beings will always wake up, from today onwards I have nothing to do with you, and no sect or faction will want to get any resources from me, this is my ultimate means of revenge against you. I couldn't help but smile smugly.

Looking at the panicked expressions of the four people, the satisfaction in my heart instantly exploded to the extreme, I have been fooled by them for thousands of years, even if I am stupid, there will always be an awakening day, and today is my awakening period.

Thinking of this, I looked towards Qiu Yin and the rat demon, only to see it staring at me intently.

Animals are always more loyal than people, so in the thousand years of my eternal life, only they are the ones who are truly dead set on following my brother without expecting anything in return, and I did not hesitate to take it to the depths of the cave with me.

"Skewers, where are you going?" Uncle Liao's voice came faintly.

I stopped, thought for a moment and said, "Uncle, when you see me as a chess piece, you are just a chess piece in the hands of others, so there is no real right that belongs to you in this world, let it go, otherwise everything you have worked hard for will disappear in the blink of an eye, and it will be too late to regret it at that time." With that, I ignored the pleading of the four and continued to walk deeper into the cave.
