Night Wine
A golden light flashed by. Before Tang Jin could react, Qi Sheng's head was sent flying. Fresh blood spurted out, and his head fell to the ground.
After Qi Sheng's head fell to the ground, it flew in the direction of Tang Jin and landed at his feet. His crazed face, crazed unwillingness, and a little bit of disbelief were directed at Tang Jin and Feng Lingling. It was as if he was complaining to Tang Jin and Feng Lingling even in death.
"Ah!" Situ Lingli screamed and quickly jumped behind Tang Jin. She tugged at Tang Jin's clothes and started sobbing.
Situ Lingli also saw a golden light flash by. Qi Sheng, who was cursing non-stop, was beheaded and his head fell to her feet.
Even after hiding behind Tang Jin, Situ Lingli was still crying. Every time she closed her eyes, Qi Sheng's resentful and unwilling gaze would appear in Situ Lingli's mind. It would linger like a nightmare.
"Alright." After kicking Qi Sheng's head away, Tang Jin turned around and patted Situ Lingli's back. He used the Nine Syllables Mantra "Lin" seal and the Mind Cleansing Mantra into Situ Lingli's body. Then, he comforted her. "Don't cry, don't cry. If he's dead, then he's dead. Who asked him to go crazy and hit you?"
After being hit by Tang Jin's "Lin" seal, Situ Lingli felt much better in an instant. She was no longer so afraid of Qi Sheng's head.
Walking to the side of Qi Sheng's head, he slowly lowered his body and picked up Qi Sheng's head. Then, he walked back to Qi Sheng's corpse and placed Qi Sheng's head on the neck of the corpse. Then, he gently closed Qi Sheng's eyes and said slowly, "No matter what, he is still my Senior Brother. His crime does not warrant death! Wu wu, Senior Brother, I've let you down, I've let you down … "
Kneeling beside Qi Sheng's corpse, Situ Lingli didn't care about the dirty blood on the ground as she laid on Qi Sheng's corpse and started to cry.
Tang Jin helplessly looked at Situ Lingli and then coldly glanced at Qi Sheng. He thought to himself, "Even if he doesn't die today, I won't let him go!" His death was clean and tidy! It saved me a lot of trouble. Otherwise … how could they live peacefully after provoking me? Humph! Dream on!
Was Tang Jin a villain? If someone provoked him a little, just because they scolded him, he would kill them. Despicable? No, a real villain wouldn't kill someone on the spot after being scolded. He would first look at you with a smile and act magnanimous. Then, he would kill you behind your back. Who knows, he might even cry because of your death.
"Brother Tang." Just as Situ Lingli was crying on Qi Sheng's corpse and Wang Kui and the rest were standing awkwardly at the side, Li Benming's voice sounded from the sky again. "Since Brother Tang hasn't rested yet, would you do me the honor of coming to my central tent?"
Tang Jin looked at Situ Lingli who was still sobbing, and then she glanced at Wang Kui and the others who hadn't said anything. She sighed, and then she walked out of the tent, heading towards Li Benming's tent at the center of the camp.
Opening the door to Li Benming's central tent, Tang Jin saw that Li Benming and Li Benzhi were already sitting at the table. There were a few dishes and two jugs of wine on the table, as if they had been prepared for a long time.
Tang Jin didn't stand on ceremony. He went straight to the chair at the table and sat down. He picked up the jug and poured himself a cup of wine. He drank it in one gulp and called out, "Good wine." After the cup of wine washed away the depression in his heart, Tang Jin looked at the two Li brothers and asked, "What's the matter? Why did you call me over so late at night?"
"It's nothing." Seeing Li Benzhi pour wine for Tang Jin first and then for himself, Li Benming picked up the wine and said with a smile, "I just wanted to chat with you, Brother Tang. Originally, Benming didn't want to meddle in the private affairs of Brother Tang Jin and your friend. But seeing that Brother Tang Jin was in a difficult situation, I helped you kill that guy. I didn't offend Brother Tang Jin, did I? If Brother Tang Jin is unhappy, Benming's wine is my apology. "
After that, Li Benming held out the wine cup in his hand. Tang Jin also gave him face and raised his cup. The two drank the wine and looked at each other with a silent smile.
Li Benming just did Tang Jin a small favor and saved Tang Jin from being embarrassed in front of Situ Lingli. Now, he wasn't apologizing, he was clearly asking for credit. Tang Jin also understood, so the two smiled at each other and didn't point it out.
"By the way," Tang Jin put down the wine cup and looked at Li Benming. "Brother Benming, have you finished asking for instructions? Shouldn't you tell me why you're so surprised after knowing about my aptitude? The Celestial World is full of Celestial Qi and is full of outstanding people. There should be many people with Born Taoism aptitude, right? Why is a Celestial Immortal like Brother Benming so surprised? Or is there something special about my aptitude? "
"This …" Li Benming hesitated for a moment. His eyes turned and he thought of an excuse. "It's not that I haven't seen Born Taoism aptitude before. In the Celestial World, Born Taoism aptitude is rare, but there is one thing I'm surprised about. Brother Tang Jin, your Thunder Spirit Root Born Taoism aptitude."
"Brother Tang Jin, you should know that your Thunder Spirit Born Taoism aptitude is the strongest among all the Spirit Roots! Not only does the Thunder Spirit Root have the innate ability to resist inner demons, but it also doesn't fear tribulations. Tribulations are difficult for people like us with other Spirit Roots, but it's a good thing for people with Thunder Spirit Roots like you! Due to various reasons, Thunder Spirit Roots are extremely rare in the Celestial World, not to mention Born Thunder Spirit Taoism aptitude. Finding such a genius and reporting it to the Celestial Court would be a great merit! I didn't expect the Celestial Court of your Celestial World to have already reported you. In the end, it seems that I was meddlesome. Hehe, when Brother Tang goes to the Celestial World in the future, you will definitely be put in an important position. When that time comes, don't forget about us brothers. "
Li Benming told Tang Jin half-truths, which made Tang Jin a little confused. He could only smile faintly and drink another cup of wine with Li Benming.
Although he didn't know if Li Benming was telling the truth, Tang Jin was sure of one thing: Li Benming was trying to curry favor with him!
Otherwise, why would Li Benming and Li Benzhi, a Celestial Immortal and an Earthly Immortal, help Tang Jin get out of trouble and even invite Tang Jin to drink to improve their relationship? From this point, it could be seen that even if Li Benming was hiding something from Tang Jin, it wouldn't be a bad thing for Tang Jin. As long as it wasn't a bad thing, Tang Jin was relieved. What he should know, he would know eventually.
"Brother Benming, I have always been a person who repays kindness and pays back grievances. If Brother Benming is really good to me, I, Tang Jin, will never forget it. You can rest assured." Tang Jin picked up a mouthful of food and put it in his mouth. He chewed for a while and then said, "By the way, Brother Benming, when you attack the Huan Chen Realm, do you have to kill all the people in the Huan Chen Realm? Some of them are my friends. Alas, I don't have a heart of stone after all. I can't bear to see them being killed. "
Tang Jin first told Li Benming that he would repay kindness and then asked him another question, which could also be considered as comforting Li Benming's heart. Two smart people knew each other's minds, so the conversation would be much smoother.
Sure enough, after hearing Tang Jin's words, Li Benming smiled and nodded meaningfully. Li Benming said, "Well, the original rule is to kill them all, but since Brother Tang Jin asked me for the first time, I can't embarrass Brother Tang Jin. So, I'll think of a way for Brother Tang Jin."
After pretending to be embarrassed and pondering for a while, Li Benming suddenly looked up and said, "How about this, Brother Tang Jin, I know an almighty in the Immortal Realm. I can ask him to help pull the Huan Chen Realm back under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Dao. From then on, the people of the Huan Chen Realm can also ascend and there's no need to eradicate the Huan Chen Realm. What do you think?" "Oh?" Tang Jin raised his eyebrows and asked doubtfully, "The Heaven Forsaken Land can be pulled back under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Dao?"
"Of course." Li Benming nodded and said, "However, to pull a place abandoned by the heavens, which is a plane, back to the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Dao, is equivalent to imitating the Dao Ancestor when he sealed the Primordial World Fragment. Tell me, how difficult is that? Alas, but since I've already promised Brother Tang Jin, I will naturally do this for Brother Tang Jin. Pulling a plane back will consume a lot of energy. Even the almighty is not willing to do this much, so when they find a Heaven Forsaken Land, they usually send us down to eradicate it. We enter the Heaven Forsaken Realm, kill all the creatures in the realm, and let them enter the cycle of reincarnation again. Then, we detonate this realm and eradicate the Heaven Forsaken Realm. It's not easy. But there's no other way. We can't tell the natives in the realm: Don't resist, we're here to save you! If you're killed by us, you'll be free! Who will stretch out their neck and wait for us to kill them? So we usually don't explain, just kill them and forget about it. "
"I see. Then why don't you directly detonate this realm?"
"Directly detonate the realm. After the realm is shattered, the souls of the creatures inside will be scattered. So we have to kill all the creatures inside first and let their souls enter the cycle of reincarnation. Although we can't kill all of them and not leave a single creature in the entire realm, at least we have to kill most of them. Otherwise, why would I say that what we're doing is a good thing, but unfortunately, no one understands, alas … "
"How's the killing of the people from the Huan Chen Realm?"
"We didn't kill many. Who would be stupid enough to chase them everywhere? They have now been forced to gather together by us. Most of the sects have gathered on that barren mountain, ready to fight to the death with us. We originally wanted to wait for them to gather again, and then directly kill them on that barren mountain. It'll be easier … "
Listening to Li Benming's tone, he didn't put the forces and masters of the Huan Chen Realm in his eyes at all. The more people gathered, the easier it would be.
Since the important matters had been discussed, all that was left for the two of them to chat and get closer to each other. As they toasted each other, the two of them drank for nearly two hours before they parted. Tang Jin walked back to his big tent and pulled open the tent. However, he was stunned.
"Lingli?" Tang Jin walked into the big tent, pulled Situ Lingli, who was standing, to a chair and sat down. He poured her a cup of hot tea, looked at her red and swollen eyes, and asked, "Just finished crying?"
"En." Situ Lingli took a sip of tea and said softly.
Nodding his head, Tang Jin then asked, "What about Qi Sheng's body?"
"I burned it to ashes with a spark and put it in a box." At the mention of Qi Sheng, Situ Lingli seemed to be unable to stop her tears. She choked and said, "Senior Brother is also a pitiful person. He was an orphan since he was young. Father raised him single-handedly and treated him as his own son, hoping that he would have a bright future. Who would have thought …"
