Chapter 255: Dialogue Across Time and Space

A sigh, spanning the long river of time, tells the word "vicissitudes".

I don't know whether the words are born from emotions, or the person who speaks is evil, his voice is full of appeal, like a clear spring, which can calm people's restlessness. My nose can't help but feel sour, as if I have experienced the hardships of the years and the changes of the world with him. The lofty ambitions and the heroic spirits have finally turned into a pool of stagnant water, and the fighting spirit has also been wiped out.

After all, this is the feeling in the heart, and the heartless things naturally cannot understand it. In the whole stone room, probably only the monster that bound me was not affected in any way. While Lao Bai and the others were distracted, it hissed and opened its mouth to bite my head. Several people were horrified. After waking up, they hurriedly tried to stop it, and finally managed to control the monster.

I was also scared out of my wits. When the monster was closest to me, its big mouth almost covered my head. The fishy stench made me dizzy. Just as its mouth was about to close, Cang Yao rushed over and pushed its head away. The thrill was indescribable. I really went around in front of the King of Hell and struggled back.

If anyone was the most affected by this voice, it must be Xue.

After hearing this voice, she looked like she had seen a ghost. She said that she was heartbroken and didn't want to live alone anymore, but at that moment, her originally dark eyes bloomed with an almost dazzling light, and countless emotions flashed across her face. At first, she was shocked, then overjoyed, and finally anger and hatred flashed across her face. Her expression was like a face-changing game. Probably, except for herself, no one knew how many thoughts flashed through her mind at that moment.

Immediately afterwards, she screamed without warning, as if she was attacked, her whole body was struck by lightning, and she stood still for a moment, her long black hair exploded, her face was full of anger, and she shouted at Shi Kuang's body: "What did you do to me? What kind of spell did you cast on me!!"

The body was still lying quietly on the stone couch, without responding.

Seeing this, Brother Yaozi took the opportunity to pounce on Xue, but as soon as he approached her, it was like hitting an invisible wall of air and was immediately bounced back.

Xue was struggling frantically, as if resisting some kind of invasion, but... this resistance was getting weaker and weaker, and the flute sound that was originally interrupted sounded again, but this time it was no longer the sonorous and powerful sound of killing, the flute sound began to become melodious, very soft, like a lullaby.

After hearing the sound of the flute, the monster gradually loosened its grip on my body, and its terrifying power dissipated. It stopped biting me like crazy, and just left us behind, turned around and swam away.

Plop!

I half-knelt on the ground, my bones seemed to be falling apart, my face and body were covered with sticky mucus, I was breathing heavily, and I was exhausted.

"What's going on?"

Lao Bai came over to support me, and whispered in my ear: "Could it really be Shi Kuang?"

I nodded, and watched the monster slowly return to the tunnel, thinking that Shi Kuang must have controlled the snow, and that's why he sent the monster away.

Then, an even weirder scene appeared.

Shi Kuang's body... actually moved! !

One of his arms drooped to the side of the stone couch, and he seemed to have turned the mechanism, and the "click-click-click" mechanism was heard incessantly, opening the tunnel and closing it again, imprisoning the monster underground.

Then... Shi Kuang sat up straight.

"Is he a corpse?"

The hand that Lao Bai was holding me with trembled, and he almost dropped me to the ground, saying in a lost voice: "Is he not dead? Or..."

I shook my head. He was definitely dead. Who could live for more than two thousand years? However, I couldn't really say what state he was in. Maybe he left a trace of residual soul, and now he has entered his own body and is controlling his own body.

"Look at the jade hairpin on his bun!"

Suddenly, Zhang Xinya came up and stared at the top of Shi Kuang's head.

At this moment, Shi Kuang was no different from a zombie, sitting stiffly on the bed, or rather, it didn't look like he was sitting, but he was supporting his entire body with his spine, his face was gloomy, without any life, only the jade hairpin on his head emitted a soft halo, the halo was extremely natural, at first glance it looked like the normal halo emitted by the light shining on the beautiful jade, embellished on Shi Kuang's head, it actually had a sense of stealing the show, making people subconsciously ignore the cold and stiff corpse.

Buzz!

The Earth Spirit Pearl in my stomach trembled obviously at this moment, which aroused my vigilance.

"Yes, it seems that Shi Kuang's soul is in the jade hairpin!!"

I secretly speculated that if Shi Kuang's soul was hidden in the corpse, not to mention the snow that had accompanied the corpse for a thousand years, even the few of us should have noticed it, but why did the Earth Spirit Pearl in my stomach react when I looked at the jade hairpin? Could it be that this was also a method left by the Heavenly Official?

It seems that this is the only explanation.

The atmosphere fell into a strange situation for a while. The fighting was fierce just now, but now everyone stopped and stared at the corpse on the stone bed.

After a long time, Shi Kuang seemed to have finally adapted to his body. His shoulders moved slightly, one arm was raised, and the index and middle fingers were gently raised. Xue, who was restrained, regained her freedom. What tricks and skills, Xue did not show even a little bit at this moment. She was like a fierce woman who was furious because her husband cheated on her. She screamed and rushed towards Shi Kuang.

Lao Bai whispered in my ear, saying that thunder and rain were all because of love. We have nothing to do here. Just be a spectator. He dared to guarantee that he would definitely be slapped in the face.

As expected, after Xue rushed to Shi Kuang, she raised one hand high, and was about to slap him, but when she got close, she suddenly stopped. She couldn't do it after all. She just stared at Shi Kuang and said with gritted teeth: "What did you do to me? Do you have to be on guard against me? You harmed my entire family back then, but I never resented you at all. For more than two thousand years, I have been dressing you every day and accompanying you every step of the way. Is your heart made of stone?"

A faint sigh sounded, and after a moment, a gentle male voice floated out from the corpse, but the lips did not move, which was extremely strange: "Why do you say this? In this world, who else knows you except me? You are not a human, nor an immortal. You are just an alien in your so-called tribe. You have been looked down upon since childhood. You want to show yourself and prove yourself at all costs, so you are naturally perverse and prone to go astray. I didn't have the heart to kill you and let you go. In fact, I knew at that time that you would reach this point sooner or later. How could I not guard against you? Guarding against you is just because I am afraid that you will never recover. Don't you know that the butcher's methods are the heart of the bodhisattva, and ruthlessness is affection!"

So, Xue didn't mention this matter again, but instead complained about Shi Kuang, saying that he was unfeeling and unlucky. He was clearly here, but he didn't come out to meet her, leaving her to wait for a thousand years...

That kind of resentment is really chilling.

If I hadn't had any questions in my mind and wanted to ask Shi Kuang, he would have turned around and left immediately without saying anything. It was too scary. I had no doubt that Xue could have kept scolding for three days and three nights. She was obviously a cold and beautiful woman, but she was forced to become a shrew...

Then, Shi Kuang gently raised his hand, without any explanation, and just whispered: "The thousand years of grudges are gone, sleep with me."

Then, Xue held Shi Kuang's hand and leaned against him gently, without saying a word, and only Shi Kuang was left in his eyes.

Lao Bai raised his head and sighed: "Oh, women..."

Shi Kuang's head turned a little bit, facing me, still with a dead face, without any expression, but a gentle voice came from his body: "Are you the descendant of Brother Wei? Come here."

Zhang Xinya subconsciously pulled me from behind.

I thought about it, and still walked over despite the pain. I looked at Xue carefully, and saw that she was looking at Shi Kuang affectionately. I felt a little relieved and sat down cross-legged beside the stone couch.

There was no way. This woman was really a time bomb. Probably no one in the world could control her except Shi Kuang. Who knew if she would have another seizure?

"Well, he is a smart man."

Shi Kuang nodded stiffly and said, "But how did you know I was here?"

"Corpse..."

I said, "How can a corpse remain intact without any protection? This is not right in itself. At least as far as I know, as long as this happens, either the corpse itself has become a climate, or... the soul may still be there. In a sense, this corpse is still alive!!"

"It makes sense."

Shi Kuang said, "But it's still not enough."

"Do you have to say it so bluntly?"

I spread my hands and said, "Wipe your own ass. As long as a man still has some bones, this is probably the most basic requirement, right?"

Xue turned her head and looked at me. She was not very friendly. She seemed a little annoyed that I spoke so harshly, especially when talking about her man...

I shrugged and said no more. Shi Kuang was so smart. Talking to smart people only required a few words, not to mention that my meaning was clear as day.

He and my ancestor did the killing of the immortal people together. This kind of thing is not clean and will cause endless troubles. But Shi Kuang let Xue go because of his personal feelings. If Xue wants to take revenge, she will definitely not look for him, Shi Kuang. This black account must be counted on the head of the official.

Isn't this obviously a trap for teammates? As long as Shi Kuang is a man, he must give an explanation to my ancestor!

This explanation is naturally an insurance! !

Shi Kuang is a very, very smart person. How could such a smart person not see through the temperament of his lover? He must have guessed that after his death, Xue would steal his body, so his means can only be done on the body!

From the fact that he let Xue go, it can be seen that Shi Kuang is actually a very affectionate person. This kind of person is very particular. He trapped his lover and wanted to calculate his lover. Then, he must pay a heavy price first, otherwise he will not be able to pass his own level.

In this case, he seems to have only one choice - give up reincarnation and stay here! !

These are all my own random thoughts. I don't know if they are reliable or not. After all, there are only a few clues. I didn't dare to count on Shi Kuang at all. People have to rely on themselves. If even I can't rely on myself, I can only rely on these illusory possibilities when my life is at stake.

"He is a smart kid indeed."

Shi Kuang sighed: "As smart as Brother Wei, he can understand many things at once. If he uses his mind on the right path..."

He didn't say the rest. I am not the kind of person who likes to hear praises. It is easy to be arrogant if I hear too much. When a person is arrogant, he is particularly vulnerable to knife. I asked directly: "Have you finished asking questions? I still have a lot of questions! For example, the thing that almost ate me just now, is it raised by you?"

"No, that thing has always been here!"

Shi Kuang said: "It came to this underground even earlier than the Undead People, and has been dormant under the soil. The giant lizards raised by the Undead People when they built the city were all its offspring, but it has never shown up. Later, when Brother Wei and I came here and encouraged the Undead People to continue to open up the city, we dug it out. Brother Wei took away its mind, and I educated it with music, so I controlled it. It was our backup, but we have never been able to use it..."

So that's it.

It seems that this thing should be considered an unknown species? It should be a branch of the blind lizard as Zhang Xinya said.

This is normal. There are indeed many strange things underground. Although technology is very advanced now, humans really don't know what is under their feet. It is said that when the Soviet Union drilled the world's deepest well underground, it encountered many strange things.

I am not a scientist, I just asked this question out of curiosity, and then I asked the question that I have always been most curious about: "Why did you and my ancestors plot to kill the immortals? These immortals stay underground and study their immortality. It seems that they don't bother anyone, right?"

"Harmless? If you can get out of the first Xin, you can get out of the second one."

Shi Kuang sneered. Even though Xue was right next to him, he didn't shy away from it. He even said frankly that he regretted many things in his life, but he never regretted this matter. Xue was silent, and I didn't know what he was thinking. Unfortunately, Shi Kuang didn't go into it. At the end, he said meaningfully: "What's more, when Brother Wei took action, it was more for you!!"

"For me?"

I was confused: "Can you be more detailed? Did my ancestors calculate a descendant like me more than two thousand years ago?"

"Do you still need to calculate? Some things can be thought of with your eyes closed!!"

Shi Kuang said: "However, rather than saying it's for you, it's better to say it's for his descendants, it can be you or someone else. Of course, he was very confused at that time, and he didn't even know how many generations his descendants would be passed down."

This time I vaguely understood something.

It's nothing more than that the etiquette official's style of behavior is destined to have no good end, and it can be foreseen without calculation. It's like a person who always complains about the sky, the earth, and the air, and whoever he doesn't like will go up and beat him up. Need to say what the end of this kind of person is? He is bound to be beaten to death. If you are in the rivers and lakes, you will be stabbed sooner or later! !

And my ancestor calculated everything and killed the immortals, just to protect his descendants?

I am also his descendant. In a sense, he did all this for me, which makes sense. At least it doesn't sound so sensational. The last official of heaven seemed to have vaguely calculated me. Now if another old guy with an older age also calculates me, then how can I live? Too scary, they are simply the sons of God's punishment!

However, I don't understand, how can the immortals who stay underground and study their immortality threaten the ritual officials? At first glance, there seems to be no connection between the two. If it weren't for Zhang Xinya's words, I wouldn't even know that there are such people as immortals!

In this regard, Shi Kuang kept silent, as if he was taboo about something.

I wanted to ask more, thinking that you are already dead, people turn into ghosts when they die, and ghosts turn into farts when they die. They will no longer exist soon, so what are you afraid of?

As a result, Shi Kuang changed the subject and said calmly: "Back then, Brother Wei paid a heavy price to help me put my soul in this hairpin. None of us thought that thousands of years later, his descendants would come here. Well, I don't want to stay dormant anymore, so I will return your ancestral things to you, which can be regarded as repaying Brother Wei's favor!"

I immediately shouted: "Hey, wait..."

However, Shi Kuang didn't listen to me at all, and didn't give me the opportunity to continue asking questions. He stretched out his hand and pointed at my forehead.

In an instant, I felt that my whole head exploded with a "bang"...
