Xie Lian didn't know if he was awake or asleep.
If he was awake,
He didn't react to anything in the outside world,
He also didn't have any memories. If he was asleep, his eyes were open the entire time.
When he woke up, Bai WuXiang had already put the black sword on his waist, like an elder rewarding a child.
He said, "This is my gift to you."
As he said that,
He patted the hilt of the sword,
He said meaningfully and gently, "It is definitely sharper than the ones you collected in the past and the ones Junwu gave you."
Xie Lian let him help him put on the sword,
He didn't speak,
He didn't resist. Because any resistance was useless.
Just like that, he changed into a new set of clothes,
He put on a new treasured sword,
Dragging a body that looked like it had been reborn, he walked out of the pitch-black Crown Prince Palace. Bai WuXiang said from behind him, "Wait."
Xie Lian stopped in his tracks. Bai WuXiang silently came to his side,
He placed a white silk in his hand and said, "You forgot about this."
That was what he had used to cover his face,
And the white silk that had been tied up later on.
Alone, Xie Lian staggered down the mountain.
It was already daytime,
The sun had also come out,
But when the sun shone on his body, Xie Lian didn't feel warm at all.
On the way down the mountain, he saw a small stream.
Ding dong, ding dong, it was very clear and lively. Walking to the side of the stream, the water reflected his appearance. Xie Lian stared at that pale face.
His face was smooth and white, without a trace of a scar. His neck was the same, so his chest, abdomen, and all other places must be the same. But after looking at it for a while, he couldn't look anymore. He buried his head and scooped up a few mouthfuls of water from the stream, washed his face, and drank a few more mouthfuls. As he drank, he suddenly discovered that there seemed to be something upstream.
He slowly raised his head and saw that on the shore not far away, next to a large rock, there was a corpse. Looking at the clothes, it was the man who performed.
This person didn't go down the mountain, but died on the road. There was a particularly obvious pool of blood on the large rock. It looked like he had died from hitting the rock in pain or fear. The corpse was already rotten. Half of it was soaked in the water and emitted a foul stench. It was motionless, but a few small deformed human faces grew on the half-rotten face, and they were still wriggling.
Xie Lian lay by the side of the stream and vomited for half an hour. He vomited until he saw blood.
After descending the mountain, he walked for a long time, wandering aimlessly on the streets. Suddenly, a hand patted his shoulder and pulled him into the alley. Xie Lian turned around, but before he could see the man's face, he saw a fist flying towards him. "Where have you been these past few days?!!!"
Behind the fist was Feng Xin's furious face. By the time Xie Lian saw it, he had already fallen to the ground with a plop.
Feng Xin had not expected that Xie Lian would be defeated so easily. Looking at his own fist, then looking at Xie Lian on the ground, he stared blankly for quite a while. Before he could go over to help Xie Lian up, Xie Lian had already climbed up on his own. Feng Xin's expression changed, but he still didn't calm down. He said again, "What a temper you have! You ran out after saying that and disappeared for two months! But do you know how worried His Majesty and the others were?! "
Xie Lian wiped away the blood from his nose that had flown out from his punch and said, "I'm sorry."
Seeing the blood on Xie Lian's face getting dirtier and dirtier, Feng Xin sighed heavily and said, "Your Highness! It's fine if you're sorry, there's really no meaning in us talking about these things. But you … … what happened to you? What have you been doing for so long? What happened that you can't tell me? "He noticed the black sword on Xie Lian's waist and asked," Where did you get that sword? "
Xie Lian wanted to say it. However, when he thought of the dispute he had with Feng Xin before he left, the hesitant expression on Feng Xin's face, and the experiences he didn't even want to think about, he only said, "I'm sorry."
The two of them returned to their original hiding place. When the Queen saw Xie Lian, she hugged him and cried. The king seemed to have aged quite a bit. Originally, he was looking for white hair in his black hair, but now he was looking for black hair in his white hair. However, he didn't fly into a rage. After saying a few simple words, he didn't open his mouth. Probably because they were afraid that he would run away again for ten days to half a month without a trace, the three of them were very careful with their words and actions.
"Feng Xin."
After a simple and crude meal, Xie Lian untied the black sword on his waist and handed it over. He said, "This sword is for you. Take it and pawn it."
Feng Xin felt the hand holding the sword tremble, but he couldn't guess why it was trembling. He asked, "Why do you want me to pawn it?"
Xie Lian said, "Didn't you want money before?"
Hearing this, a pained expression suddenly flashed across Feng Xin's face. Immediately after, he shook his head and said, "There's no need for it now."
Xie Lian no longer said anything. He threw the black sword to the side and no longer cared about it. Then, he fell asleep.
When he returned this time, Xie Lian acted as if nothing had happened. He hoped that he could return to his original state as soon as possible and strive to return to normal. Soon, he and Feng Xin went out together to set up their performances.
Originally, Feng Xin was still worried and said, "Forget it. You should rest for two more days."
Xie Lian said, "I've been resting for almost two months. If those performers come looking for trouble again, the two of us can easily deal with them. "
However, Feng Xin said, "Those performers stopped coming a long time ago."
It wasn't because the previous performer had died and there was no one to lead them. Rather, it was because Feng Xin had been stationed here for a long time. When they first arrived, everyone still felt that it was a novelty. However, after a long time, people had more or less lost that novelty. There was no difference between looking at him and looking at other local performers. Compared to before, Feng Xin had lost his competitiveness. Since he wasn't a threat anymore, the other performers also didn't come looking for trouble. In any case, everyone earned about the same amount of money.
Therefore, no matter how much effort Feng Xin put into his archery, no matter how excellent his archery skills were, the number of people coming to watch and reward him decreased by more than half. It wasn't even one-tenth of the original number. After half a day, Feng Xin was so tired that his forehead was drenched in sweat. He sat to the side. Xie Lian said, "Let me go."
Feng Xin said, "You can't, right?"
However, Xie Lian went up on his own. Seeing that it was a different person, the passersby became interested again and asked, "What unique skill does this little brother have?"
Xie Lian didn't answer. Instead, he picked up a tree branch and started to practice a sword technique. Although he was using a tree branch, his sword technique was executed beautifully. The sound of the wind breaking also carried a sharp sword intent. Thus, there were some people who gave him face and applauded. Feng Xin watched from the side with a complicated expression. After watching for a while, he turned his head away.
Xie Lian didn't feel any shame, nor did he feel any psychological burden. He continued to practice his sword seriously. At this moment, he suddenly heard someone shout from the crowd, "Not good, not good! So unsightly! Who wants to see you holding a tree branch and blindly poking around? "
Feng Xin suddenly stood up and shouted, "Watch your mouth!"
Xie Lian's movements slightly froze as he looked over. He saw a man in the crowd eating a melon while spitting out the seeds. It was obvious he was here to watch the show. He shouted towards Feng Xin, "I came to watch you perform! You can say whatever you want. You're just a person asking for rewards, yet you still dare to care about our rewards? Change to a real sword! Change to a real sword, then I'll consider whether or not I should reward you with a few coins! "
When he shouted, the others also followed suit and shouted. Feng Xin was furious. Just as he was about to make a move, he saw a white shadow flash. Xie Lian had already appeared beside that person, grabbed him, and tossed him high into the air.
The moment he made a move, his strength was strangely great. That idler was tossed several feet into the air, and his melon skin fell to the ground. Everyone was so shocked that they all opened their mouths wide. That person landed heavily on the ground with a 'peng' sound. Blood flowed from all seven of his orifices as he loudly screamed. However, Xie Lian didn't stop there. He once again went up and grabbed him. In a flat and emotionless voice, he said, "I don't have a real sword, but I do have a real sword. Do you want to see it?"
The surrounding crowd was so frightened that they scattered in all directions. One of them shouted, "Someone come! Save me! Murder! "
Feng Xin was even more alarmed. "Your Highness!!!"
Xie Lian turned a deaf ear and was about to toss that idler a few more feet into the air, allowing him to fall to the ground. Feng Xin went up and pressed him down. He even forgot to conceal his identity as he roared, "Your Highness!!! Wake up! This person is going to be beaten to death by you!!! "
Black flames burned wildly in Xie Lian's eyes. He slapped away Feng Xin's hand and pressed that person into the ground. That idler's two legs stretched out, no longer moving. Just as Feng Xin was about to pounce on him, he heard someone at the end of the street scream, "It's them! They're over there! "
Not good! The Yong 'an soldiers had arrived!
Feng Xin broke into a run, but he saw that Xie Lian was still standing in his original spot, staring at those Yong 'an soldiers as if he wanted to go up and fight them. Thus, Feng Xin turned back and pulled Xie Lian, saying, "What are you still standing there for? Hurry and run!"
The two of them hid here and there along the way before finally escaping and returning to the small house they were hiding in. As soon as they entered the house, in front of the Queen, Feng Xin shouted, "How could you do such a thing?!"
The original Feng Xin naturally wouldn't have dared to be this impudent in front of the two Emperors. However, after such a long time, many things had already changed. Xie Lian said to the Queen, "Return to the house."
The Queen said, "Imperial son, what exactly … …" Xie Lian said, "Return to the house!"
The Queen wanted to ask but didn't dare, so she returned to the house. Xie Lian then turned towards Feng Xin. "What did I do?"
Feng Xin angrily said, "You wanted to beat that person to death!"
Xie Lian retorted, "It's not like he died. Furthermore, so what if I beat him to death? "
"… …"
Feng Xin was stunned. "What did you say? What do you mean by so what if I beat him to death? "
Xie Lian said, "Who told this lowly commoner to seek death? Since he was seeking death, I helped him. What's wrong with that? "
As if stunned by his choice of words, Feng Xin only spoke after a while, "He … … did commit a crime, but that doesn't warrant killing him, right? It's fine to just give him a palm, but just because of this sentence, he deserves to die? "
Xie Lian interrupted him and said, "Yes. If he dared to say that, then he must pay the price. "
"… …"
Feng Xin said in disbelief, "How could you say such a thing?"
Xie Lian asked, "What words?"
Feng Xin said, "You would never use the word lowly commoner in the past. You have never used this word. "
Xie Lian said, "In the end, what do you mean? It's not like I'm an immortal, can't I be angry? Can't I hate? "
Feng Xin choked. After a long while, he managed to squeeze out a few words, "That's not what I meant, but no matter what, it shouldn't be … …"
Xie Lian didn't want to listen anymore, so he didn't continue talking to him. He entered the house and slammed the door.
As soon as he closed the door, he shouted loudly and knocked himself onto the bed.
Deceiving himself! He was simply deceiving himself!
No matter what, it was impossible to pretend that nothing had happened, and it was impossible to return to how it was originally!!!
In the evening, someone knocked on the door. Xie Lian thought it was Feng Xin, so he didn't answer. After a long while, he heard the Queen's voice say, "Imperial son, it's Imperial Mother. Let Imperial Mother come in to see you, okay? "
Xie Lian originally wanted to lie down and not move, but after lying down for a long while, he still got up and opened the door. He said tiredly, "What is it?"
The Queen carried a plate and stood at the door. She said, "Imperial son, you haven't eaten anything, right?"
Xie Lian looked at her and endured for a long time. Only then did he swallow down the words "I haven't eaten anything, and I don't want to eat anything you make" that had already bubbled up in his throat. He moved aside to let his mother enter. The Queen placed the plate on the table and said, "Look."
When Xie Lian saw it, he was so angry that he wanted to laugh. He asked, "What is this?"
As if she was presenting a treasure, the Queen said, "Look, this is' Twin Wings and Branches Pill ', this is' Flower and Moon Round Soup '… …"
The one called Twin Wings and Branches looked like a corpse with two lives, while the one called Flower and Moon Round Soup was uneven. Xie Lian had no choice but to interrupt her. "How come these things even have names?"
The Queen said, "Don't all dishes have names?"
Xie Lian replied, "That's the Imperial Palace's Imperial Cuisine. Ordinary people don't give names to dishes. "
The palace, the imperial cuisine, and the ordinary people. The Queen paused for a while, then smiled and said, "No one stipulated that one must eat royal food to be given a name. Just take it as an auspicious sign. Come on, try it. Imperial Mother spent a lot of time making this for you. "As she spoke, she handed over the chopsticks. Xie Lian didn't smile, nor did he move his chopsticks.
The Queen smiled as she sat for a while. Her smile gradually faded as she said, "My son."
Xie Lian asked, "What?"
The Queen said, "Why did you quarrel with Feng Xin again?"
Xie Lian didn't want to explain at all, nor did he have the strength to explain. He said, "Just stay in the house, don't worry about this."
The Empress hesitated for a moment and said, "I know I shouldn't say this, but during the days you weren't here, Feng Xin has been taking care of him …"
Xie Lian asked, "Imperial Mother, what exactly do you want to say?"
The Queen hurriedly said, "My son, don't be angry, I am not criticizing you. It's really not. I know it's been hard on you too. I'm just saying that Feng Xin has always been with us, and it hasn't been easy for him to follow you. I can feel that it's not that he doesn't want to leave, but the reason he stayed until today is all because he remembers your friendship … "
Hearing this, Xie Lian suddenly stood up and said, "Who's easy? Am I that easy?! Imperial Mother, can you guys stop asking? If you guys don't understand, can you guys not get involved?! "
Seeing him rush out of the door, the Queen panicked. She stood up and chased after him, saying, "My son, where are you going? I won't say anymore, Imperial Mother won't say anymore! Come back! "
Xie Lian sternly said, "I know! It hasn't been easy for everyone, don't worry! I'll go right now and make it easier for everyone!! "
The Queen couldn't keep up with him and was soon thrown off. It wasn't until late at night that Xie Lian returned carrying a few bags. When he opened the door, he saw that no one had slept and were all waiting for him. Their expressions were all very bad. Xie Lian closed the door behind him and asked, "What's wrong?"
The king seemed to have already scolded the Queen, as the rims of her eyes were still red. When she saw Xie Lian return, she let out a long sigh of relief. Forcing a smile, she said, "My son, you're back! From now on, I won't ask anymore. Don't suddenly turn around and leave. If there's anything, Imperial Mother will definitely listen to you … "
Everyone was afraid. They were afraid that if he turned around and left, they wouldn't see his shadow for another two months. However, Xie Lian said, "You guys are thinking too much. I'm not leaving. You guys can just go in and rest. "
After waiting for the king and queen to enter the house, he was silent for a moment. Then, Feng Xin said, "Even if I asked you where you went, you wouldn't answer, right?"
Xie Lian didn't say anything. He threw the few bags on the ground, making a crisp sound. Feng Xin asked, "What's this?"
Xie Lian opened the bag and turned it upside down. From inside, a large pile of gold and silverware fell out, practically lighting up the entire house. Feng Xin immediately stood up and said, "You … … Where did you get this?!"
Xie Lian didn't even raise his head. He sat on the ground and counted as he said, "There's no need to be like this. I just went to a big family in the city. Don't worry, no one noticed. "
Feng Xin's eyes widened. "You! … … "
He remembered that the king and queen were still next door. Lowering his voice, he said, "You stole things?!"
Xie Lian said, "You don't need to look at me like that. It's not easy for everyone. With these things, it'll be much easier. "
Feng Xin said, "But you still can't steal things, right?! We can perform as entertainers! "
Xie Lian said, "Performing for an entire day is tiring to death. How much money can we earn?"
Feng Xin took two steps back. This was the first time Xie Lian saw him have this expression of someone about to faint.
Feng Xin finally stood up with great difficulty. After confirming that he hadn't heard wrong, he muttered, "You, how did you become like this?"
Xie Lian raised his head and asked in reply, "Like what?"
Feng Xin angrily said, "I don't want to talk about you! Look at what you look like right now! I'm already not asking you about the robbery, so why are you becoming even worse?! "
Xie Lian sneered and said, "As expected."
Feng Xin asked, "As expected?"
Xie Lian stood up and said, "As expected, you've always remembered the robbery. You wanted to ask me, but you were too embarrassed to ask, right? You must have imagined what happened a thousand times in your heart. There's no need to think, I'll tell you. "
Step by step, he forced his way in front of Feng Xin and said, "It's true. I robbed. "
Feng Xin was forced to take a step back and said, "You … …" He took another step forward and angrily said in a low voice, "Why did we suffer so much?! If you were willing to do this kind of thing, we would have done it a long time ago. Why did we have to endure until today?! What do you mean by this?! Are all our previous efforts wasted?! Are you still the Crown Prince of the past?! "
Xie Lian said, "Yes!
But, why did you have to suffer until today? "
Feng Xin stared blankly. Xie Lian continued, "What was I like in the past? Not retaliating when scolded? Not retaliating when hit? Overestimating myself? Saving the common people? What is this? Isn't this an idiot? Do you think it's good to be an idiot like that? Do you think I have to be like that? The moment I'm not, you'll suffer a huge blow, right? "
Feng Xin was alarmed. "Are you crazy? Why are you saying that? "
Xie Lian said, "You're wrong. I'm not crazy, I just suddenly became clear-headed. Then, I discovered that the previous me was the crazy one. "
"… …"
Feng Xin muttered, "How can you be like this? When did you become like this? I, I really don't know, I'm like this, why I'm following you … … "
Xie Lian said, "Then don't follow me."
Feng Xin still hadn't reacted. "What?"
Xie Lian said, "I said, then don't follow me."
After he finished speaking, he slammed the door and left.
Four hours later, a rustling sound came from outside the house, along with the sound of low voices.
It seemed that Feng Xin was saying goodbye to his Imperial Father and Imperial Mother. Feng Xin's voice was extremely low, the Empress's words were choked with sobs, and the King didn't speak much, mostly coughing. Not long after, the door opened and closed. Feng Xin's voice disappeared, and the sound of his footsteps faded away.
Feng Xin had left.
Xie Lian shut himself in the room, expressionless. After a long while, he closed his eyes.
He had finally left.
Ever since Mu Qing left, Xie Lian had always been afraid of this matter: One day, Feng Xin would also leave.
Because he was too afraid. Today, Xie Lian could no longer endure being tormented by this fear.
Rather than slowly wasting time like a knife being sharpened, slowly whittling away those feelings of gratitude and friendship bit by bit until both sides hated each other and hated each other, it would be better to explode sooner!
Before Feng Xin left, he was afraid. But after Feng Xin left, he wasn't afraid in the slightest.
However, even though he wasn't afraid anymore, he was in even more pain.
Originally, Xie Lian still held a tiny bit of hope in his heart. He hoped that even if he admitted that he did something he shouldn't have done, even if he became this terrible to the extreme, Feng Xin would still stay. After all, ever since he chose Feng Xin to be his personal attendant when he was fourteen years old, the two of them had practically been following each other like shadows. They were master and servant, and even more so, good friends. Other than him, the Crown Prince, Feng Xin didn't have anyone else he needed to care about. At most, he would bring the King and Empress along.
However, Feng Xin had really left.
Xie Lian had long guessed this result, and he could completely understand this result. However, he still couldn't bear it for the time being.
At this moment, the Empress' voice came from outside the silent room.
She said:
"Imperial son, I'm sorry."
"… …"
Xie Lian crawled up from the bed, opened the door, and went out. Tiredly, he said, "It's not your fault."
The Empress and the King both sat at the shabby table. The Empress said, "It's Imperial Father and Empress Mother who dragged you down. They made you do bad things for us, and even made you quarrel with Feng Xin."
Xie Lian forced a smile and said, "What's bad about it? Aren't there always stories of robbing the rich to help the poor in those legendary stories? It's fine if Feng Xin left, it's fine. It's good that he left. Both sides are relaxed. You should first treat your illness before we talk about other things. Tomorrow, you can buy the best medicine. "
However, the King glared at him and said, "I don't need this money."
The Empress secretly pulled him back. Xie Lian said, "What do you want?"
The King coughed a few more times and said, "You … … go chase after Feng Xin. I don't need this money. "
Although the Empress was pulling him back, she still said, "That's right, you go chase after Feng Xin. He's your most loyal attendant, and also your good friend … … "
Xie Lian said, "I don't have any more loyal attendants. If you have money, just take it and use it. Don't ask about other things. As I said, you guys don't understand these things. "
After a long silence, the Empress finally said, "I'm sorry, my son. Father and Mother can see that you're struggling very bitterly by yourself. However, Father and Mother are only mortals, so they can't help you at all. They still need you to take care of them. "
Xie Lian didn't have the strength to say anymore. He casually comforted them with a few perfunctory words before sending them back to their rooms. In order to wake himself up, Xie Lian took off all his bandages and clothes. After taking a careless bath, he fell asleep. When he woke up the next day, he thought in a daze, "Why didn't Feng Xin wake me up?"
Only after a while did he remember that Feng Xin had already left.
Xie Lian turned over and sat up. After staring blankly for a while, he thought of another matter.
Even if Feng Xin had left, what about his Imperial Father and Empress Mother? Why didn't his Imperial Father and Empress Mother come in?
Usually, at this time, the King's coughing would have long since been audible. However, today, it was extremely quiet.
For some reason, Xie Lian felt a wave of unease. He put on his clothes and got out of bed. After grabbing twice, he realized that the white silk he used to cover his face was gone. Pushing open the door to the next room, he said, "Imperial Mother, did you see my …"
As soon as he pushed open the door, his pupils instantly shrank into two tiny dots.
His white silk had been found.
The white silk was suspended above the sorghum, and there were still two motionless figures of old people hanging from it. They had long since become stiff.
It was his Imperial Father and Empress Mother.
Xie Lian suspected that he was still in a dream. He swayed and barely managed to support himself against the wall. He swayed back and forth, but he didn't manage to hold on and slid down the wall.
He sat on the ground and covered his face with his hands. Suddenly, he had difficulty breathing. Crying and laughing, laughing and crying, he said, "I, I, I, I …"
It was unknown who he was talking to, but after a while, he said again, "No, I didn't. I, wait, I, can't, I … "
In the end, he couldn't even say a complete word. He turned around and screamed, slamming his head against the wall a dozen or so times.
He should have thought of this earlier. His father was such an old-fashioned monarch, and his mother was the kind of mother who couldn't bear to see her loved ones suffer, especially for them. Both of them were nobles who lived like princes. It was already a miracle that they could hold on until now.
After Xie Lian slammed his head against the wall a few hundred times, he muttered, "Feng Xin, my Imperial Father and Empress Mother are gone."
No one was listening.
Only then did he think of putting his parents' bodies down. After putting them down, Xie Lian seemed to have nothing to do. He paced around the room and saw a few cold and ugly dishes on the table. He didn't eat them last night and let the Queen take them away. Now, he picked them up in a daze and ate them all. He didn't dare to miss a single dish, for fear that he would miss a grain of rice. After eating, he started to vomit again.
Suddenly, Xie Lian grabbed the white silk and threw it on the beam, putting it around his neck.
Waves of suffocation assaulted him, but he was still conscious. Even if his eyes were bloodshot and his neck bones were cracking, he was still conscious. Moreover, he didn't know why, but as he hung, the white silk automatically loosened. Xie Lian fell heavily on the ground. In his dizziness, he found that the white silk was actually moving without any wind, like a poisonous snake, slowly coiling up.
This thing actually gave birth to its own soul!
It was infused with magic power, stained with Xie Lian's blood, and even hanged two members of the royal family — if Xie Lian could die, then it would be three. Such a white silk, with such deep resentment and evil energy, it would be strange if it didn't become a monster.
This little monster that had just come to this world was completely unaware of the desperate situation under which it was born. It happily swam towards the person who gave it its soul, as if it was looking forward to an intimate action. However, in Xie Lian's eyes, it did not exist at all. He held his head and roared, "Who!! Who will kill me!!! "
He only hoped that someone would immediately come and take his life, and help him get rid of this endless pain and torture!
At this time, there was a deafening sound of gongs and drums in the distance. Xie Lian breathed heavily, his eyes were bloodshot, and he thought, "Who? What is it? "
Some kind of force drove him to stagger up, and he went out to investigate. After walking for a long time, he finally discovered that it was the sound of celebration for the establishment of Yong An, the relocation of the royal capital, and the completion of the new palace.
The whole world was celebrating! The old citizens of Xian Le Country were now cheering for Yong An. On the streets, the smiles on everyone's faces were so bright, so familiar. Xie Lian remembered, during the Upper Yuan Sacrifice, the people of Xian Le Country also cheered like this.
Xie Lian staggered back and sat paralyzed on the ground.
Why did they let him see the laughter of the "people of Yong An" when the corpses of the Xian Le Country's ruler and empress were lying at his feet?
Xie Lian buried his face in his hands, crying and laughing, hahahaha, sob sob sob.
After a while, he said with a smile, "It's not that easy."
A voice flashed in his mind: "The Human-Faced Plague, it's resentment … The method to create the Human-Faced Plague is …"
A fierce light flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly said in a soft voice, "Don't think you'll have it easy."
The expression on his face seemed to be crying and laughing, happy and sad. He slowly stood up along the wall, saying, "Yong An, Yong An? Don't even think about it. Don't ever think about it! I, curse you all. I curse you all!!! I want all of you to die, absolutely die!! Haha, haha, hahahahaha!!! "
Laughing and laughing, Xie Lian rushed out like a gust of wind. When he passed by the mirror, he suddenly paused and turned his head back!
His appearance in the mirror had completely changed.
What he was wearing was not that white Daoist robe that had been washed to the point of being worn out, but a snow-white mourning robe. His face was also no longer his own face, but a face that was half crying and half laughing, full of sorrow and joy!
If it was the Xie Lian of before, seeing his current appearance in the mirror, he would definitely scream in fright. But now, he was not the least bit afraid. He turned a blind eye to it, laughing madly without end. Stumbling, he knocked open the door, and ran out.
The old Xian Le Country's Xian Le Country's Imperial City was now an unbearably dilapidated ruin.
Near the ruins, there were still residents who had luckily survived and refugees who had nowhere to go. Ever since the outbreak of the Human Face Plague and the destruction of the Imperial City, this once magnificent capital had often been filled with chilly winds that caused people to tremble in fear. But today, it seemed to be especially chilling. Several beggars in ragged clothes ran away like a wisp of smoke, looking up at the sky as they ran. Everyone felt that something terrible was about to happen, so it was better not to stay any longer.
In front of the Imperial City's dilapidated gate was the battlefield. Usually, no one dared to go there. Now, only an old Daoist was running here and there, catching those wandering souls. He stuffed them into his bag and prepared to make lanterns. As he was catching them, he suddenly discovered that, at some unknown time, a strange figure in white had appeared at the end of the battlefield.
It was really strange, really strange. He was wearing mourning robes with wide sleeves. A piece of white silk was rolled up on his sleeves, fluttering in the wind as if it was alive. On his face was a deathly white mask. Half of his face was crying, while the other half was smiling.
That old Daoist felt a chill run down his spine. Before he could react, his legs had already brought him out of the battlefield. His heart was still in a state of shock, so he stopped and looked back.
The man in white didn't say a word as he strolled on the battlefield. The cold wind blew, and with every step he took, he stepped on the corpses of the dead.
Countless souls struggled and wailed on this piece of land, so much so that even the air was black with resentment.
The man in white said coldly, "Do you hate?"
The undead howled in grief. The man in white took a few more steps and said, "The people you swore to protect are now citizens of Xin Country. Do you hate? "
The wails of the souls were mixed with screams.
The man in white said slowly, "They have forgotten you who died on the battlefield, forgotten your sacrifice, and cheered for the people who took your lives. Do you hate? "
Among the screams, there were hisses and roars.
