When Lin Zheng was in a trance, Bailian put away the Tiance Junshan Sword, stretched out his hand to suppress the furious Yin Baishuang, and said: "In this case, Mr. Ye Shu, you took the initiative to ask to go to Youtan first, the purpose is not Is it just to help the young Marquis explore the road?"
Initially, everyone was frightened by the sight of skulls in the water and hesitated whether to go into the water.
It was Ye Shu who told everyone that there was no danger in the water and that people needed to work together to successfully reach the bottom of the pool.
In just a few words, everyone was attracted to the water, including Lin Zheng.
After thinking about this, Xun Guan immediately turned pale and cursed angrily: "What a wolf-hearted person! I knew he had no good intentions when he took the initiative to get into the water! We shouldn't believe him!"
On the surface, this sentence was a scolding and rebuke to Ye Shu, but secretly, he was also vaguely resentful of Lin Zheng for raising such a man-eating white-eyed wolf.
What a bullshit retainer's son, he couldn't believe that the old marquis knew nothing about the origin of this little devil!
There was no strange emotion on Ye Shu's cold, sculpture-like face. Perhaps it was because of the angle. He was standing under the half-bright divine pillar, with a shadow cast over his face. He looked lifeless. indifferent.
He spoke in a calm tone: "To be precise, from the moment I asked to accompany Lin Zheng to sneak into the demon world, my purpose was not to help him win the Dragon Ball and glorify the Marquis Mansion."
Ye Shu smiled sarcastically and said, "Lin Qingyuan, who is he? What reason does he have for me to protect his glorious family business?"
"Ye——Shu!!! You are treasonous!" Lin Zheng roared angrily.
Lin Qingyuan was the father of Lin Zheng, a hereditary first-class marquis in Zeguo, an important military official, and a generation of heroes.
In response to Lin Zheng's roar, Ye Shu smiled coldly and said: "In your heart, he is a perfect father and a great hero, but to me, he is just a hypocritical, cowardly, selfish guy. "
"I won't allow you to slander my father like this!!" Lin Zheng's eyes were filled with rage, and his facial features were distorted.
"Slander?" Ye Shu's whole body seemed to be shrouded in ice, and every word was cold as it passed through his soul: "Do you think that during the Battle of Beizhao, why Lin Qingyuan was able to shine so brightly in the midst of a hundred schools of thought and become unrivaled? Merit, single-handedly reviving the declining Lin family?"
Lin Zheng grew up with Ye Shu since he was a child. In his heart, although Ye Shu has always been indifferent to everyone, because of his shady background, he can always calmly accept any slight. Insults and insults.
Even though some servants in the house often privately called him a bastard and a freak, Lin Zheng had never seen him display his mixed hatred and anger as clearly as he did at this moment.
It turns out that all these years... he has always hated the Lin family.
While Lin Zheng was angry, a sense of fear and confusion arose in his heart for no apparent reason.
He opened his mouth and was about to speak, but was interrupted by Ye Shu coldly: "The Langya Demon Sect dominated the north and conquered the world. Back then, the war between good and evil was suppressed by three sects, but the remaining demonic cultivators supported it. The rising Zhao Kingdom repeatedly invaded other countries, and the conflicts among the various countries were so fierce.
Zeguo was just a small country at that time. It should have been destroyed by the soil in that battle, but your father turned the tide and prospered the country. Whose bones do you think these glorious achievements were made on? ? "
Lin Zheng saw that his words were about to belittle his father, who he revered as a god, and shouted angrily: "My father has always acted upright and has no regrets! What's more, it was a war, thousands of beacons on the sea, sand and sand. On the battlefield, bones exposed in the wild is the normal state of war!"
Ye Shu said indifferently: "With a clear heart? A man who is engaged, in order to win the war and gain power, deceives another woman and teases her in every possible way. Is this what you call always upright?"
Lin Zheng was startled and then became furious: "You are talking nonsense!"
Ye Shu glanced at him indifferently and sneered: "In terms of age, I am three years older than you, so you should call me brother."
Lin Zheng's head pounded, as if something was collapsing in his heart.
Three years older...
This means that before his father made a marriage contract with his mother, he had an unmatched match with Jiang Yi, the Holy Girl of the Demon Sect, and gave birth to Ye Shu.
According to time calculation, the year Ye Shu was born was the year when the war between Zeguo and Zhaoguo was settled.
All the answers seemed to burst out of the water in an instant, and the blood all over his body seemed to surge to the top of his head, shaking his muscles and bones.
"Just now you asked me why I came here?" Ye Shu looked at Bai Lian, who was standing quietly in the sea of flowers. The anger between his eyebrows receded a little, and he regained his composure: "My mother was bullied by Lin Qingyuan. , was humiliated by him, abandoned by him, and finally died for him!"
From Ye Shu's few words, it was not difficult for Balian to deduce how miserable the fate of the demon saint would be.
Balian was silent.
The Demon Sect is murderous and bloodthirsty. If she takes over the important position of the Holy Girl and serves the Demon Sect wholeheartedly, she will be extremely successful. On the contrary, if she joins forces with the famous righteous watchmen to betray the Demon Sect, even the death of one person will not be enough to vent her anger.
"My mother died the day after that man left her."
"Any idea why the human skulls here won't hurt me?"
Ye Shu's tone was calm, as if he was talking about someone else's business: "Everyone in my mother's clan was wiped out because of her. They were quartered and beheaded, and their heads were sacrificed to the demons and thrown into this dragon vein pond to build an underground palace. "
His eyes turned faintly, and his expression seemed to be crying or smiling: "The bones are the road. They are all my relatives. I am here to take them to their graves."
This astonishing amount of information had already shocked Xun Guan and the monk who was lucky enough to survive.
The little devil secretly disclosed his life experience without concealing it, obviously he was determined not to let them live.
Xun Guan shook his voice and looked at Su Jing and Yin Baishuang for help: "Miss Jing, Miss Yin, this guy is really a remnant of the Demon Sect, and he is extremely hostile to us and other righteous people, so he will never be allowed to stay! "
"What kind of bullshit relatives!" Lin Zheng's eyes were scarlet. He ignored the blood flowing freely from his mouth and nose, and slowly stood up against the sacred pillar behind him. His voice was hoarse and rough: "Father brought you back to the Marquis Mansion when he was fifteen. , taught you with your own hands, worked hard to teach you, and even sent you to Shangyang Academy despite the objections of your teachers. You enjoy resources and treatment that even an orthodox young prince like me can't match.
When you were seventeen years old, you fell seriously ill. Your father went behind your back all night to beg the medical officer Xue Feng, the archenemy he hated all his life, to save you. He even put down his dignity and knelt in front of his mansion all night. Now you tell me! These bones and skeletons are your relatives! "
Lin Zheng punched the sacred pillar hard: "Ye Shu! If you still have any conscience, stay away from that harmful monster behind you, and then get over here!"
After finishing his roar, Lin Zheng's mouth squirmed, as if he still had something to say, but when he met Ye Shu's eyes, he swallowed the last sentence alive.
Feng Ju laughed heartily, his laughter full of ridicule, as if he was laughing at his ignorance and rampantness. He slowly raised his two pale bones arms, hugged Ye Shu tightly, and placed his skull solemnly on his shoulders. , teeth chattering and said:
"My poor nephew, your much-loved younger brother, the Prince of the Marquis, really doesn't know anything about the sufferings of the world."
"Lin Zheng." Ye Shu looked at the furious Lin Zheng and said calmly: "Do you know why I wasn't angry at all when the servants who vassed you in the Hou Mansion called me a bastard?"
Lin Zheng: "Are you planning to settle old scores with me now?"
Ye Shu ignored his question and continued to talk to himself: "How do you think a traitor's son should live in the Langya Demon Sect? Because he is A Niang's son, those demon cultivators think that I will Even if I was tortured to death, I felt that it was easier for me.
So they chose to let me go, and let me be raised by my enemies like a wild dog. I had to experience the fear and despair of being eaten by mermaids every day. When I was three years old, I was only this tall. "
Ye Shu stretched out his hand to show his height back then, and lowered his head: "A little bit bigger. When I first learned to think, the first thing I thought about was how to die."
Lin Zheng's body became stiff.
Ye Shu took back his hand as if nothing had happened and recalled the past as if nothing had happened: "But at this time, Lin Qingyuan appeared. He told me that he would take me away and let me live a good life, and tell me about Zeguo's 'Yunzhong' What a rich, prosperous and beautiful capital city, he said that one day, he would give me a home."
"I believed everything he told me, and I longed for it. I couldn't imagine that I could really live the kind of heavenly life he described. With this hope, I waited for him to take me home. .”
The phosphorus fire from the bones and corpses flickers on and off among the blue wildflowers, creating a sense of sadness.
Lin Zheng suddenly felt his lips and teeth feel cold.
He met his father when he was three years old, but he was thirteen when his father actually took him back.
There was a gap of ten years!
Ye Shu admired Lin Zheng's demeanor very much at this moment, and a sick smile appeared in his gloomy eyes: "He gave me the hope of life. I am very grateful to him, but it is precisely because of this that I know, what It’s purgatory on earth.”
"When I was eleven years old, the Demon Sect came back to fight the Middle-earth and returned with a disastrous defeat. This disastrous defeat reminded them again of the betrayal of the Saint and the humiliation of losing to Zeguo in an important battle. An elder of the Demon Sect proposed to annihilate My blood, peel off my skin and bones to sacrifice the hero’s soul.”
"I haven't had a good day. I don't want to die, but no one can save me. I can only save myself."
Xun Guan could not imagine how an eleven-year-old child could save himself in front of a group of jackals, tigers and leopards.
But Lin Zheng knew what Xun Guan could not imagine. He had heard from his mother that his father brought Ye Shu back from Zhao State.
"Shut up!" But he didn't want to hear this from Ye Shu himself.
Ye Shu chuckled lightly, with an indescribable suddenness and acrimony in his smile: "Fortunately, I was very lucky. The elder who proposed to skin me alive was very masculine. Although his temperament was cruel and murderous, he was very cautious about his own prohibitions. It’s to protect one’s shortcomings.”
"I told you to shut up!!!"
"I climbed into his bed, and when Lin Qingyuan took me back, I happened to be fifteen years old."
Ye Shu tilted his head and chuckled: "When I came to the Hou Mansion, sure enough, this place and the place where I live are completely different worlds. Compared with what I have endured in the past, the insults and contempt from your lackeys are really to me. It's nothing.
I thought, if I don't have to be whipped every day and live so hard, I don't have to be so greedy to be the son of a prince. I would be willing to look after your home and nursing home. "
"But...but, I found out later that when I was three years old, Lin Qingyuan had the opportunity to take me out of there, but he didn't because he was going to get married that year, and my wife was pregnant with you, so I had to Got married that year!
The wife that the Marquis wants to marry is not the saint of the Demon Sect, but the daughter of the national master of Shangyang Academy. There are countless eyes in the clouds staring at him. At this time, it is naturally impossible for him to bring an illegitimate child back. , so you see, just let me wait for ten years. "
Ye Shu breathed out slowly. Even though the deepest wound was opened by his own hands and dripping with blood, his mood still did not fluctuate much: "You always said that Lin Qingyuan was very good to me, almost raising me as the son of the main wife. , but do you know? Because of you, he made me wait ten more years."
Listening to this bizarre story with twists and turns, Xun Guan and others opened their mouths wide and their views were shattered. They were extremely surprised and shocked. At the same time, they felt extremely disgusted with Ye Shu's disgusting behavior of living in obscurity. They were about to spit a few curse words. .
At this time, Yin Baishuang spoke: "I have been deeply hurt by the thing I have longed for in my life. You have endured it until now and took revenge. It is too cowardly. If I were you, I would kill you the day I know the truth." The entire Hou Mansion.
If they can't be defeated, then they can be poisoned secretly. Seeing Lin Qingyuan's heartless look, he won't be wary of your biological son, right? "
There was no indignation in the cold tone, but the serious look made it seem like she would really plan to do this if it were her.
Xun Guan felt a chill, and what he wanted to say suddenly stopped, and he did not dare to utter a word.
Ye Shu listened to these words without hesitation, and couldn't help but be stunned again and again, looking a little stupid.
He never thought that at this time, even with words, there would be someone who could stand on his side so openly and support such a rebellious behavior.
For a moment, he couldn't laugh or cry: "Thank you, girl, for your advice. It's a pity that Lin Qingyuan didn't live until the day when I figured out that I should poison him. It's such a pity..."
Yin Baishuang said: "It doesn't matter. It's not a pity that he left a son for you to kill."
Ye Shu smiled a little more on his face: "I heard that the Taiyuan Ghost Sect hurt the girl's beloved, and the girl slaughtered the whole family in a rage. Such a temperament that dares to love and hate makes Ye Shu admire him very much."
"Hey, hey..." Bai Lian interrupted Yin Baishuang, dumbfounded: "Miss Yin, which side are you on?"
"Yes, Miss Yin, you have to take your time and don't show any sympathy for him because of his pitiful background."
Xun Guan also cried and screamed, fearing that this crazy beauty would lose her mind and help the little devil, which would really lead to a dead end.
Yin Baishuang crossed her arms and raised her eyebrows: "Although it is a bad thing for you to seek revenge from the Lin family, you also did a stupid thing to seek death by plotting against me."
Ye Shu waved his hand and said, "Although I like Miss Yin and Mr. Si Chen very much, I'm sorry, but I really can't let them leave here alive today."
The gossip ends here. It can be seen that Ye Shu is really murderous. He looked sideways at the skeleton behind him and said: "Uncle, I have done everything I need to do. The next step is up to you."
Two clusters of will-o'-the-wisps ignited from the skull's eyes: "Don't worry, none of them can leave today."
Feng Ju let go of Ye Shu's body and pushed with both palms. The two towering divine pillars in the sea of flowers suddenly collapsed. From the depths of the darkness, a fierce ghost seemed to crawl out, and a thick bloody aura rose from all directions. Everyone gathered around.
The strong wind rises from the depths of the underground palace, as if the unknown abyss echoes the strange sound of chanting ancient mantras, like the gloomy singing of the abyss, and the howling of the eternal ghost.
The two pillars that were pushed onto the couch were quickly swallowed up and covered by the weeds and vines on the ground. White bones were like water, crazily overflowing among the grass.
No one from thousands of miles away collects the bones, but the souls are summoned and buried under every city!
Under Feng Ju's call, the army of bones rose up in the wild, and in an instant, they started to devour and kill those living people.
"If we hadn't eaten the breath, essence and blood of living people, it would be difficult for our compatriots to be summoned in such large numbers. Sure enough, after being hungry for so many years, they would start killing like crazy at the slightest smell of blood. I was so frightened when I saw it."
Feng Ju said he was scared, but he burst out with a satisfied laugh. He touched Ye Shu's hair lovingly, and said lovingly: "Good boy, the dragon ball is at the 13th palace, seventy miles southwest." Que, go and take it quickly, so that you can activate the power of the spiritual key in your body and open the black crystal door, one of the nine doors. The prosperity of our clan is all in your hands."
Victory was right in front of him, but there was no excitement on Ye Shu's face. He looked at Feng Ju's sad, skeletal face, lowered his eyes, and asked softly: "Uncle, where is my grandma's skull?"
Feng Ju was startled and then said: "Good boy, you go get the dragon beads first. After my uncle has dealt with this group of human monks, I will personally take you to pick up your mother-in-law, okay?"
Ye Shu's eyes flickered slightly, as if he had something to say, but he still held back. He nodded and said, "I will definitely live up to my uncle's trust."
At this time, Lin Zheng, who was surrounded by a group of bones and corpses, suddenly shouted loudly: "Ye Shu! Ye Shu! Ye Shu!!!"
At this point, he seemed to not know what else he could say to him, so he could only shout his name meaninglessly, hoping that he would turn around.
Ye Shu did not look back. When he summoned the new sword Feng Ju left for him, he turned his back to Lin Zheng and said calmly: "Actually, you misunderstood. The Baishan Sword was originally my mother's relic, not given by Lin Qingyuan. From the beginning to the end, he never taught me a sword."
Lin Zheng's eyes couldn't help but turn red, and he shouted anxiously: "I didn't know that was the relic left by your mother to you! If I knew, I would definitely... definitely not destroy it! I don't know! I really don't know! Ye Shu !”
You look back...
"Ye Shu!"
sorry……
For two hundred years, they grew up together. Whenever he was in danger, Ye Shu would always appear immediately and protect him like an elder brother without even having Lin Zheng call his name.
But today.
No one can protect him anymore...
