"Do you really want to save them?"
A voice called out to Xie Zhe. It was obvious that this was a lie, as it came clearly from behind. He stopped hesitantly and was silent for a long time, as if he was hesitating whether to turn back.
"It is my mission to save the people," he said calmly, "and it is also my duty."
"Ah, I'm not talking about the common people."
He shouldn't have stopped, shouldn't have let Han Shang's back disappear from his sight. But at this moment, his legs couldn't move. The place that had been scratched by resentment spread out with a strong numbness, as if an electric current was passing through it, making him gradually lose the feeling of the existence of this leg. He could only turn around stiffly and saw the blue silhouette that seemed to be lying. He and the background are both the same color, but Xie Zhe can clearly see a special outline.
"you……"
"I had loaned out the Resentment before, and now I have taken it back. I'm afraid that the Six Paths of Impermanence knew the news, so they informed the female shark and taught her how to find this place. If I were willing, she would never notice it. Yes, but there is no need for that. Why she appears here is naturally caused by other friends besides you."
"...What's the use of holding Resentment now?"
"What's the use? It's really not of much use. However, since you care about the world and think that you have a similar heart to those who practice Buddhism and Taoism, you should know a little about cause and effect, right? Language is an interesting game. You should I have a deep understanding that people who have been hurt by resentment can be traced even to the ends of the earth. If I say that I am destined to find you, but it turns into a narrow barrier, then how should I see you? "
Xie Zhe didn't quite understand. He stared hard at the colorless outline, but he couldn't see the facial features and clothing like the sword spirit, and nothing retreated from the body like the cold wine. He blended perfectly into the scenery, and even the sound could not tell his distance. Xie Zhe's "Sky Eye" has no effect at this time. However, maybe it's... too effective.
"So you come to see me." Huayu continued, "This is the power of the spirit of speech. Among the ten evils, speech makers are the fourth, but as far as I know the others...according to the impermanence of the six paths, they are Colleagues? They have not cultivated and used their abilities well. They are all limited by the complicated worldly emotions, and they are trapped in the needles and webs of emotions, forgetting their own duties. Jing. They were not catalyzed by the medium given by Hongxuan Changye. They could be regarded as spontaneous demon transformations, but they only ended up like this. The evil mouth is a little monster that was forcibly shaped. In such a position, it is not safe for me. I just temporarily lent him this weapon that Hongxuan Changye had tampered with, and it might be helpful. However, I don't need this kind of thing, and the magic power that was weakened in order to deceive others can't help me. As far as I am today, I can It’s all up to me.”
"What, do you want me to praise you?"
Xie Zhe said with a cold face. There was no clear light source, but the shadowed parts of his face were so dark and unnerving. However, there is no one else here.
"That's not what I mean. Let me tell you, don't you think the people you want to save will get in the way?"
"When did you steal the business of Liang Guan? The last person who so blatantly sow discord is dead." Xie Zhe's tone was not polite, "Since you have the ability of speech and spirit, why not just tell some jokes that will dominate the world? Okay. Isn’t this much simpler than roping in Death Shadow Pavilion, Wenjiu and other evil envoys to fight against the elders of the Wuyong clan, research obscure technologies, wantonly play with and trample on life, and desecrate any of the dead? In one sentence? matter."
He seemed to be angry, but in fact he was testing. Huayu could understand such temptation, but he didn't mind cooperating.
And Xie Zhe was sure that he would cooperate.
"First of all, I really don't have much interest in unifying the world...it's just a thankless task. Look at the change of dynasties, whose world can last for thousands of years? You yourself said that what you want to save is the common people, not the territory of the imperial court. .Furthermore, the so-called spirit of speech is not the power to follow the words and turn them into prophecies. The right time and place, as well as the cause and effect, should be considered. Whether you have a sword is one thing, but whether you can use it is another. After all, not all weapons are like the demon-conquering pestle in your hand, which can be used immediately. Whether the language is spoken intentionally and the listener is intentional, or whether the speaker is intentional and the listener is unintentional, a little confusion about this is also very interesting. What I am pursuing There are always thousands of possibilities in the world of mortals. In the final analysis, it is
Restless curiosity may be at work. "
“It’s also worthy of admiration to be able to put those wild and inhumane ideas into action.”
"I believe your compliment is genuine."
"I don't think this is a compliment, it's just saying what I think. You can't guide my thoughts." Xie Zhe said firmly, "You and I will always be different."
The outline of the lie was like a smile, and even without making a sound, Xie Zhe could still detect the joy in his consciousness.
"If you say yes, then that's it. But even though you are already here, I still have some doubts. Since you are trapped here and can't go anywhere, how about answering my questions? You don't have the right to refuse anyway. Compared with your friends, you are indeed strong-willed - but that is only due to the sword of heaven in your hand. I will not take it away, don't worry. You always pay attention to it and value it. I can’t do anything without feet.”
"You're stalling for time so that everyone else's thoughts can completely disappear."
"This can only be considered one of the purposes."
Xie Zhe looked at the blue water. I don’t know when or where, black traces infected this blue area. Xie Zhe didn't panic, he just stared at the phantom of lies in front of him, even though he knew that it was just an illusion created by lies. This could probably be regarded as a form of respect, although Xie Zhe would not appreciate it.
"I mean, think about it..."
From that lazy tone, Xie Zhe could almost see the careless look of Li Yu.
"Even if you don't come here, even if you leave me alone, there won't be any loss, right? You come to interfere with me just because I am uncontrollable - for you and that adult. What do you think? What does that adult need before he is willing to take the world as his own responsibility and risk his life? You are a smart person. You should have known that mere human beings cannot simply coincide with the will of the Lord of Naraku. You all It’s just a simple agreement of interests, for the time being, judging from the appearance.”
"If you don't cooperate with the work of the Six Paths of Impermanence, and don't comply with the mission they impose on you and your friends, nothing will happen to you. What will I do? What can I do? It's nothing more than being in a place where you can't see. You have no way of understanding the form, seeking my own pleasure and doing what I want to do. Indeed, even as I am now, I have no ability to make waves. What I can do, just like my notoriety, is just It’s just interference.”
"The plague was caused by the Death Shadow Pavilion, and they should eventually clean up this mess. The puppet's technology has been put into use, and there will be others besides me. The spells I discovered, the shikigami I created, and everything I left behind are also There will be successors, but let me say it arrogantly - no one can match my talents in the short term. You can just target them. And where I am outside of that, since you can't see Even if I can’t notice it, how can I define “what I did”?”
"You didn't have to live such a tumultuous life."
"Do you think it's just fate that Qingyang Chukong came to you?"
"The so-called fate is not accidental, but inevitable due to cause and effect."
"When have the people in your mouth ever thanked you for supporting you to this day? Who can call you by your name? They are even like monsters, and many people cannot notice you. Inconspicuous people , it is the most dangerous if you want to do bad things, but the impermanent ghosts are always watching you."
"You will definitely say that when you help someone and save whom, it is never out of gratitude. Of course, gratitude is useless, even if they don't even know how to give charity, they don't know who to give it to. Even if they are robbed You will remain calm despite your achievements, not because your mind is pure - but because false praises cannot be reciprocated at all, and they cannot enter your eyes."
"It's not for profit, it's for the greater good. Of course, even if it's just fun, nothing in this world is more important than living a good life. Not to mention the impermanence, even you can't escape this nature . To put it bluntly, Huang Quan December only has an employment relationship with that adult, or has some leverage in his hands."
"There are always only advantages and disadvantages that control the destiny of an individual. It is the nature of all things to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. Otherwise, how could he, Yama, control those lamps that are not efficient in oil? In the final analysis, you are just a mortal. But you have Greater ambition, or avoiding greater harm. But currently you are also
You just don’t know what it is. Your knowledge is limited and it stops there. "
"Don't you want to know what it is you are really looking for?"
"Do you really want to do something as simple as saving people?"
"But you can't even save your friends. Your hands can't touch you, your words can't be conveyed, and your eyes can't reach reality. They collapse on their own, and there's nothing you can do about it. If you want to care about the world, you have to treat them Turn a blind eye to the misery. It is precisely because you cannot bear the suffering in front of you that you dare not imagine how everyone is suffering."
"You are so fragile, how can you save me?"
"Who can you save?"
Xie Zhe wanted to argue with him, but he clearly found that inside the barrier of lies, every word he said infinitely amplified the effect of the spirit of speech. Just hearing these words alone made him dizzy and difficult to control himself, let alone think about them further and formulate a rebuttal. This was a completely one-sided massacre, leaving him no room for counterattack.
He was more worried that even in the waking world, he would not be able to fight back. Maybe this is just an excuse.
Or maybe it was just that he was under the influence of black magic.
Anything is possible.
"I said that I think you are very interesting, and I really want to be friends with you. Unfortunately, it's too late. From the time we met, all I have left is regret. Until now, I won't give you anything. Chances are, we no longer exist in the same world. Without equal status for dialogue, all previous respects are worthless. You still have room to liberate your true self, but I won’t bet on it - there are too many uncertain disturbances around you, Their interference with you still matters.”
"That's it."
Xie Che took steady steps and slowly drew his sword.
