Chapter 31 Zichen
Chapter 31 Zichen
The two brothers looked at each other, speechless for a moment.
Sheng Ling had no choice but to break the silence. In order to confirm the faint guess in his heart, he tentatively asked: "Ziyang, you deliberately lured us out, do you have something to tell us?"
He Ziyang turned his head and glanced at him, there was no emotion on his stiff face, probably a little surprised.He Ziyang was not good at lying since he was a child. When he heard Sheng Ling's question, he was stunned for a while, and finally nodded, acquiescing.
Sheng Ling asked, "What's the matter?"
"The palace is...dangerous..." He Ziyang's voice was still ugly, making people feel a sore throat just listening to him, "Someone wants...to harm Chenchen..."
He Zichen was a little shocked, before he could think clearly, He Ziyang's next sentence rang in his ears like a thunderclap——
"I know... a few years ago, Chenchen was... killed once."
Years ago, years ago...
Sheng Ling's face was a little ugly. He regretted the incident a few years ago the most. Because of his fault, He Zichen almost couldn't come back.
"You mean..." He Zichen's eyes suddenly widened.
Compared with Sheng Ling who fell into self-blame when he remembered that incident back then, He Zichen obviously had a clearer mind. Even after a few years, he still remembered what he saw before he lost consciousness...it was a demon.
He was killed by the monster through the hands of Sheng Ling.
Once upon a time, the Zhaixing Building was attacked by a large-scale monster, causing the previous national teacher Bai Feng to die without a place to die. Most of the young disciples of the Zhaixing Building were also killed or injured in the bloody battle.In that battle, the people from Zhaixinglou paid a huge price to narrowly defeat the magic army and protect the others. The tragedy was not enough to call it a victory.
Afterwards, Sheng Ling took over as the national teacher and rebuilt the Zhaixing Building amidst many doubts. It was safe and sound for a year.
Later, unknowingly, some faint demonic energy would appear in the palace inexplicably. It was not uncommon for palace people to be possessed by monsters. He Zichen had seen it many times with his own eyes.Fortunately, they are all low-end monsters, and it is not difficult to deal with them, but during that period of time, the disciples of Zhaixinglou were busy day and night.
These didn't make people think too much, they were just the remnants of the monsters who attacked the Zhaixing Tower back then, now listening to Ziyang's meaning...
In fact, they were all directed at him?
This cognition made He Zichen a little confused.
It makes perfect sense for monsters to harm people and harm him by the way, but if it is said that all those monsters are targeting He Zichen alone...it really doesn't make sense.
After all, He Zichen was deeply touched, he was simply the safest person in the entire palace during those days.
Those monsters, no matter they are the main body or possessed by people, when they approached him, he would consciously sneer and drift away with demonic energy. During those days, he was used to the scene where monsters circled in front of him from time to time, and then the demonic energy in front of him drifted away. .
He has never been harmed at all, and those monsters seem to be just trying to show their magic in front of him.
If the target of those monsters is him, it probably means that they love him deeply.
"Ziyang, how did you know?" Sheng Ling came back to his senses and asked the most crucial point.
"Because..." He Ziyang's hoarse voice trembled imperceptibly, but he continued, "I have it... a trace of soul consciousness..."
He Ziyang was entangled by the black mist-like demonic energy, and finally fell into the Tibetan abyss. Originally, he was destined to die quickly, but he didn't want to let him live for a while. Life is better than death.
It was only after He Ziyang fell that he realized that there was a powerful monster sealed under the hidden abyss.
The seal was not long ago, and the monster was not a low-level monster bred by the simple aggregation of demonic energy. Logically speaking, such a dangerous existence is known to the whole country, at least those who practice in the Star Picking Building should I have heard about it.
But they knew nothing about this monster.
Not only is it not recorded in the historical legends of the Yousheng Kingdom, Baifeng has never mentioned it to them.
And the purpose of the monster trying to drag people down the abyss was not to hunt prey, but to find a substitute.
The seal was not left in ancient times, and its mana did not weaken at all with the years, so it was difficult to break free for a while. The monster was eager to get out, so it could only find a substitute, and gave the substitute a wisp of soul consciousness to make the seal unrecognizable. Let the other party be bound under the abyss instead of oneself.
However, Tibetan Abyss is located in the deep mountains and old forests, and the place where the monster is sealed is rarely visited. It has been waiting for many years, and finally a substitute that it fancy comes.Across the vast hidden abyss, it can only vaguely feel that the spirit is very powerful, and there are some inexplicable special features. It can take him down and pretend to be a little bit to stay instead of itself.
Unexpectedly, the magic mist that it tried to split out was burned, and it couldn't get close to the child at all.
But just as the road to the sky was about to retreat, another substitute came to the door.
Although this soul is weak, it will take some effort to replace it, but fortunately, it has no resistance, and it is easy to succeed.
This substitute is He Ziyang.
Due to the weak soul, the monster took a lot of effort to make He Ziyang a substitute successfully, and at the same time left a ray of soul consciousness on him, that is, this ray of chaotic consciousness, which made He Ziyang very special to that human figure. The beautiful and glamorous monster has a certain understanding. Although it cannot fully obtain its memory and specific thoughts, it can vaguely feel some of its thoughts.
For example, the main purpose of its eagerness to go out is to avenge someone, and it is willing to pay all prices for it.
For a long time, He Ziyang didn't know whether he was dead or still alive.
Countless low-level monsters bred in the devil's energy stared at him and harassed him from time to time. Due to the weak protection of the seal and the threat of that trace of soul consciousness, they all didn't rush forward and gnawed at him frantically.Under the erosion of the strong demonic energy, his body has begun to rot from the inside.
In those endless days of darkness, he only had a trace of chaotic consciousness.
After an unknown amount of time, the trace of soul consciousness left on his body felt great pain, which came from the escaped monster.
In the end, its pain and hatred subsided, replaced by mad desire.
The longing for the soul of that child back then.
It wants to hurt Chenchen!
Thus, He Ziyang woke up from the chaos.
I don't know where his determination and courage come from, but he, who has always been timid, took the initiative to become a predator, and the target of his prey was the monsters under the hidden abyss.At first he tried to absorb the demonic energy, but after feeling that his soul body was gradually growing, he finally started to attack those monsters.
The cruel fighting in the dark abyss did not originate from hatred, but an urgent desire to leave.
Finally, after all the surrounding monsters and demonic energy were taken by him for his own use, He Ziyang finally felt that he seemed to have become stronger.
The seal seemed to loosen a little before he knew it, and the light spell transformed by the magic technique also dimmed a lot. He knew that he could finally see the light of day again.
When reunited with the first ray of sunshine after a long absence, He Ziyang felt that he wanted to cry, but now he could no longer cry.
He became a demon, a terrible monster.
He can condense the entity, but he still uses his already rotten body, it seems that everything is the same as before.
But He Ziyang knew that from the time he hunted the first monster, or even earlier, from the time he absorbed the first ray of magic energy, he was no longer himself.
Of course, these He Ziyang didn't go into details, but just stated a few very briefly, but the listeners can hear a lot of unfinished words from these short sentences.
Sheng Ling's throat twitched slightly, knowing that saying anything seemed too weak, so he had to say something with difficulty: "Ziyang, I'm sorry for you..."
He Ziyang was taken aback for a moment, subconsciously wanted to shake his head, but felt that his head was as heavy as a thousand weights, and finally just lowered his eyes silently.
Even he couldn't say the last sentence frankly: It's okay, it's not bitter.
He Zichen stood there blankly in shock and pale, his heart was in a mess, he didn't respond for a long time, he just thought randomly: Ziyang is so afraid of pain, how did he get over the pain all these years?No, he can't even feel pain now...
"You...you want to leave..." After a while, He Ziyang spoke again, especially sincerely, "Now, don't go back to the palace...it's dangerous...go find it, don't let it harm people...it, very Weak...Moreover, I dare not touch Chenchen."
dare not touch...
Sheng Ling's heart skipped a beat, and he recalled the scene he had seen several times. All evil creatures would be wiped out as soon as they got close to He Zichen's body, and even stronger monsters would be forced to retreat.This reminded him of the "Zichen Dragon Qi" recorded in ancient books, the lord of the destiny of heaven, the righteousness is magnificent, and the evil spirits will retreat as soon as possible.
Regarding this, he had a vague guess at the beginning, but he was not very sure. After all, the prince was Ziyang. If Zichen's dragon spirit added to his body, he must be the monarch of destiny, so where would Ziyang be placed?
Now He Ziyang's words once again confirmed this guess.
He Zichen raised his head suddenly, his eyes were already calm, and he asked, "Where do you want us to find it?"
"All the way... to the west..." He Ziyang's figure faded again as he spoke.
He Zichen's heart tightened, he fixed his eyes on the disappearing person, clenched his fists but did not move.
Turning around, he looked at Shang Shengling with worried eyes. He grinned, patted Sheng Ling on the shoulder, and comforted him: "It's okay, Ziyang will definitely follow us all the way, it's okay."
Sheng Ling reached out to hold his hand, squeezed it lightly, and said calmly, "Let's go."
All the way west.
Ziyang is lying, or hiding something.
——The two of them didn't say anything, but they both knew each other.
He Ziyang has never lied since he was a child, and when he said it rarely, his face turned red and his eyes dodged, making it easy to see through.Now, this stiff face has become his best cover, but he is still not good at lying.The words are full of loopholes, and you can hear something wrong without thinking about it.
But no matter how true or false it is, He Zichen and Sheng Ling believe it.Even if he knew nothing, he was willing to do what He Ziyang said.
They didn't want to ask what He Ziyang didn't want to say, and they didn't want to tell the truth when he lied.
Looking back later, He Zichen felt that he was pretending to be confused at that time, and maybe he also had some subconscious fear.
He knows Ziyang too well, just as Ziyang knows him. Although their temperaments are too different, their positions and feelings have always been similar.So it became clearer that what He Ziyang didn't want to face was not necessarily what he was willing to face.
Don't think too much, don't go deep into it, it's protecting yourself by wrapping fire in paper.
