Chapter 996: Despair and Hope

The hillside was full of trees that had fallen in the earth attack, Mu Xingqiu sat on a tree trunk, his feet gradually sinking into the soft soil, his hands on his cheeks, quietly looking down on the busy mortals in the valley, occasionally someone looked up to look at him, but no one came up, General Mu made a suggestion through his followers, hoping that no one would go up the mountain to disturb this strange and ugly middle-aged man.

Mu Xingqiu summoned a bronze mirror and looked at Zuo Liuying's changed appearance for the first time, it was a pitted face, with horizontal flesh, looking fierce, but his eyes were full of melancholy, like a wolf expelled by the tribe. He stared at the mirror for a while, and suddenly remembered a strange question, he had only looked in the mirror once since he lost his memory, how could he be sure that the other party looked exactly like him when he saw General Mu?

There are some memories lingering in his mind, closer to falling out than ever, but Mu Xingqiu still can't catch it.

He put away the mirror.

Luo Laohan and his wife were lucky to escape the earth attack, and after reuniting with their son, they were so excited that they hugged their heads and cried once, and after listening to General Mu's speech, they cried again, and knelt down to General Mu vigorously, as if this was the life-saving benefactor.

Luo Laohan and his wife had seen Mu Xingqiu before Yi Rong, but this didn't seem to bother them at all, some survivors in the town did claim that they had seen an "amnesiac Mu Xingqiu", and General Mu was like a person, but in countless rumors, their statements were quickly drowned out as bragging, and when General Mu raised the statue in his hand to arouse everyone's confidence, even Luo Laohan forgot about another Mu Xingqiu and a bowl of porridge he sent.

Shou Que is even more convinced of General Mu, as if he is his most loyal believer. Before and after running, he selflessly dedicates his good mental illusion and answers all questions. A few times, he pointed at the hillside, I don't know what he said, anyway, General Mu didn't have a special reaction.

Mu Xingqiu didn't care about any of this, just watched quietly.

The only person in the valley who remained awake was Fu Lin, and shortly after the afternoon, he walked up the hill alone and sat beside Mu Xingqiu without waiting for an invitation. Rubbing his tired calves, he said, "They can't stop tonight's golden attack." ”

"Hmm. Mu Xingqiu has the same opinion, so far. General Mu only aroused everyone's will to survive, but the spells arranged were pitiful, and they were absolutely unable to compete with the Tribulation of the Five Elements.

"But this General Mu is very peculiar, he is a liar. But there is nothing to ask for. I looked into it. He came from Xijie Kingdom, and he seemed to be really similar to the Mu Xingqiu killed by the ancestor, and he was mistaken for General Mu in Broken Flow City, so he simply replaced him, using General Mu's reputation to recruit believers and spread the ancient god religion. Originally, this was nothing, and whenever a catastrophe came, the Ancient God Sect would always rise suddenly, and wait until the wind and waves were calm. The number of believers will be greatly reduced - this is an old god who is easy to talk. ”

Mu Xingqiu didn't squeak and picked up a branch. Three images were painted on the ground, which are the three heads of the old gods: a skeleton representing death, a female image representing mercy, and a thunder character face representing indiscriminate.

"If the old gods can really perform miracles to protect everyone through this calamity...... I am willing to be a believer in it. Fu Lin seemed to have made a major decision, and then laughed self-deprecatingly, "But this is not a natural disaster, but a spell of the Dao Patriarch - why do I still call him the Patriarch? His name is Kun Zhu, and he is an evil Taoist priest - if he wants to block the Tribulation of the Five Elements, he can only rely on spells, just like Grandmaster Xingshan did." ”

Mu Xingqiu still didn't speak, raised his right foot to erase the image on the ground.

"Zhao Chuye was actually able to save many lives, and in that small area of Zhuozhou City, they were well protected and withstood fire attacks and earth attacks. If you squeeze it, it can hold at least tens of thousands of people, and if they want, they can expand the place. The power of the Heaven and Earth Talisman may not be as powerful as the Five Elements Tribulation, but the scope of its spread is relatively wide, and it can expel the spells laid down by Kun Chao within a few hundred miles, so that the final Dao Fire Tribulation cannot be generated, and the people can still live, right?"

"It's not that Zhao Chuye doesn't want to save people, he just doesn't care. Mu Xingqiu said that his current mentality was closer to the heart of a Taoist priest than ever, and he was able to understand Grandmaster Xingshan's decision.

"What about you, don't you care?" Fu Lin would rather choose to believe in Mu Feidian on the mountain than General Mu in the valley.

"I don't care. Mu Xingqiu thought for a while before he said the answer, this was his true feeling, "I don't care about the people who died before, and of course I don't care about the people who will die in the future." ”

No one knew the situation in the whole world, but around the Imperial Capital, most of the mortals had already died from the fire and earth attacks in the first two days, and there were only a few thousand people in the valley, and even if the survivors in other places were included, it was probably only tens of thousands.

Since the majority was not saved, there was no need to save the minority, this was Mu Xingqiu's idea.

Fu Lin lowered his head, and after a long time, he gritted his teeth and said: "I don't want to die, I said for a long time, in fact, what I want to save the most is myself, my relatives and friends died in the first round of fire attack, at that time I thought that I would not die in a catastrophe and there would be a blessing in the future, I said to myself that the country comes first and personal feelings come last, so I should not be sad, but happily accepted the appointment of the general." After the second round of earth attacks, I heard that there were three or four more rounds of attacks, and that mortals would die, and my dream of becoming a general was shattered, but I still did not grieve the deaths of my relatives and friends, and all I thought about was how I would live. ”

Fu Lin turned his head to look at Engong, "If you can save my life, I am even willing to kneel and kowtow to you." ”

"Kowtowing is not as good as a bowl of porridge for me. Mu Xingqiu noticed that the other party's mood was changing rapidly, like a mountain swept by a strong wind, he thought it was funny, but he was still unmoved.

"Hehe, my stomach is also growling, if I really have a bowl of porridge, I may not be willing to give it to you. Fu Lin stood up, "I beg your pardon, I am a mortal, Empress Fu's descendant is just a title, there is nothing in it, and even my blood is not more special than ordinary people." Only when I am sure that I am certain that I will die can I muster the courage to face death. Eun Gong saved me once, and no matter why that is, I have to thank you. In the future, there may be no more mortals in this world, and the earth is full of strong people with mana flying around. Engong must be a person with a great background, and he can naturally survive among the strong, please accept the humble blessing of a mortal: I hope you can get back your memories as soon as possible. ”

"Thank you. Mu Xingqiu nodded.

Fu Lin walked down the mountain. He was hopeless, but his steps were firmer than when he went up the mountain, and even his emotions became simple, there was no panic and fear, only frank and relaxed.

Mu Xingqiu stared at Fu Lin's back for a while, convinced that he really had no intention of saving this person.

The sun gradually set in the west, and Mu Xingqiu's focus gradually shifted from the mortals in the valley to the ubiquitous foreshadowing spells. After talking with Zhao Chuye, Mu Xingqiu had a better understanding of spells, and his sensibilities became more keen. He looked at the spells around him with the same indifference. Gradually, some doorways were discerned, and these spells were not evenly distributed in the air, they were all attached to something, as large as trees and stones. as small as a speck of dust. The tree fell, but the spell did not leave, and remained in the dead tree.

Mu Xingqiu's sensibility slowly expanded, and he suddenly found a strange spell, which was different from the surrounding foreshadowing spells, and was more concentrated, he turned his head to look at a stone behind him, staring at it. The feeling is getting clearer.

The spell dissipated, and the stone took on a human form. Star Mountain Grandmaster Zhao Chuye stood there.

The two indifferent people looked at each other for a while, Mu Xingqiu turned his head and continued to look at the mortals in the valley, Zhao Chuye also looked away and looked at the sky farther away, "This time the reincarnation is a little different, your spell has awakened before the memory." ”

"I can only fly, and I will sacrifice a few talismans, that's all. ”

"That's all, you can see through the details of the spell, this is the most powerful spell, even the Taoist priest of the Sun Mang may not be able to do it. ”

"But I can't see through my own spells. Mu Xingqiu stretched out his hand and slowly picked up a small speck of dust with his thumb and forefinger, "I can feel the spell in this, I can see some details of it in my mind, but I don't know why I can do this." ”

"This must be your setting before reincarnation, because you know that this life is full of dangers, retrieving memories is not the most important thing, and having the ability to protect yourself as soon as possible is the most urgent task, so you choose a body with excellent quality, and let the spell precede the memory awakening. ”

"Self-preservation, is anyone trying to kill me?"

"There are many, but none of them are your opponents, and the Dao Patriarch is your worst enemy. ”

"Grandmaster Xingshan also belongs to the Dao Sect, right?"

"The Daoist system no longer exists, the Taoist priests are dead and scattered, look, I didn't even save the Xingshan Daoist, but brought out a group of Fu Gong masters. Obviously, I am not the lucky one chosen by my ancestors, so I don't need to be loyal to anyone anymore, and to protect myself in this world that is being destroyed, I need to unite with a greater power, which is you. ”

Mu Xingqiu turned his head again, feeling a little strange, the mortal who had lost hope was determined, and Zhao Chuye, the Taoist priest of the Moon Mang, who had not completely lost hope, had a slight fluctuation in his mood.

"Aren't you afraid to admit your mistakes? Although I have lost my memory, I really don't feel like I am the reincarnation of a demonic spirit. ”

A smile appeared on the corner of Zhao Chuye's mouth, "This is exactly one of your means of self-preservation, and things that even you don't believe in are naturally difficult to be discovered by the ancestor." You don't have to worry, I have severed my connection with the Patriarch Tower, my name is not in it, and the Patriarch will not perceive your existence through me. It was an accident that met me, but this chance is good for you and me. ”

Mu Xingqiu didn't even know what "benefits" were: "I remembered fire, and it is said that if I find this fire, I can get my memory back." ”

"I will show you all the fire in this world, but this is not the most important thing, we have to find the demon seed, the complete demon king can fight against the ancestor, only the demon soul is not enough. ”

Mu Xingqiu turned his head again and continued to stare at the valley, not too interested in finding the so-called demon seed.

"Stay here and admire the destruction of mortals, if it helps you. "Zhao Chuye flew into the sky, there were too many foreshadowing spells around, and he didn't want to risk using the teleportation technique.

Mu Xingqiu didn't mention Zuo Liuying, and felt that these two Taoist priests were also unreliable.

The sunset hung on the top of the mountain, and the mortals in the valley had already set up their formations, but Mu Xingqiu still couldn't feel the spell that was strong enough to resist the golden attack.
