Chapter 112 Letter to the Nine
My body is still in the weakness of my first promotion - my consciousness is back, but my body is not.
The man in a black cloak grabbed my leaves and sniffed it gently.
"I just said I smelled right? You have the breath of Ji Zhen... Who are you?"
Ji Zhen.
This was the first time I heard your real name...but my mind was in chaos at that time and I didn't have the energy to think about what he was saying.
I just want to go to the mountains and fields to find your place immediately.
——That is not difficult for me.
Even if you hide your demonic energy, I can easily find you on a dim rainy night.
Soon, I saw you standing alone on the top of the mountain, and you quietly overlooked the forest, just like before.
The heavy rain cannot wet your sleeves. In this vast rainy night, your figure looks so thin and lonely.
But sir, there is nothing in the world that makes me happier than this. In the blink of an eye, I lost it again - how could there be such a thing in the world? What kind of virtue can I get such favor from God?
Tonight is the beginning of everything, and nothing has happened yet - that means everything is in time.
I didn't have time to think about anything, but I stumbled towards you. I wanted to tell you everything I knew immediately. You don't have to endure a despicable betrayal again. You can completely avoid repeating the same mistakes.
I held this belief until a sharp murderous intent came from your direction, and the man in a black cloak pulled me away in an instant.
"Why are you so anxious to die... Do you have no unfulfilled wishes? You die before you have completed it, it's a pity?"
I finally realized that late at night, a strange monster suddenly rushed towards you was a danger for you that you need to be prepared for and be vigilant.
You noticed me and sent me a deterrence and temptation.
At that moment, I suddenly understood the reason why you had no resistance when facing Feng Yan that day - if it weren't for the man in black holding me, I probably wouldn't have the time to care about your murderous intent.
Even if you really want to kill me, will I run away? Will I take the sword in your hand and stab it at you?
No...No.
Even though my mind was in a mess at that time, only some intuitive thoughts remained, I never had such thoughts.
But the man in black still woke me up.
I can't die at this moment because I still have many things that have not been completed.
I turned around again and looked at this uninvited guest seriously.
"Who are you?" I asked.
He wrote the words "Xiaying" in my palm.
He looked about twenty-six or twenty-seven years old, but I didn't know what it actually was - because although he smelled like a man, he had eyes that looked like mercury.
This is not the look that ordinary people have.
He said that his formation would only summon people with strong regrets in his heart and ask me if I wanted to make a deal.
I didn't understand the specific things very well, but I understood one thing - he could help me take Feng Yan's life, but I had to pay the corresponding price myself.
I didn't even ask what the price was, but I agreed, because I had already had my own answer to the price.
That night, I made a vow with him and followed him to a secret camp.
This is my second contact with the spirit-sacrificing man.
Perhaps I should call them dust sweepers because they believe that "sacrificing spirits" was deliberately posted to them by the court, with a derogatory and exclusionary term. After all, "sweeping dust" is their first vision.
But I myself prefer the name "Shengman".
Why is it necessary to be a slander to move towards death? There are some memories that can truly bring strength to people, not only "living" can be given. There are some beliefs in this world that are more important than life and death itself.
The man in black who brought me back seemed to be an extraordinary existence among the spirit-sacrificing people. I heard others respectfully call him "Mr. Xia".
His face was hidden under his black hood all day long, and only revealed his true face at a very occasional moment.
He always smiles when he speaks. Every time he returns to the camp, a group of children gather around him first.
But later I realized that it was such a person who was planning how to arouse the Linghe River and annihilate hundreds of thousands of creatures in Chang'an City.
I really... can't see through people's hearts.
But from Mr. Xia, I have learned a lot of things that I have never heard of before.
For example, you are from Youdu Mountain and have been around for nine thousand years.
For example, it was precisely because I happened to encounter the storm you had when I was promoted, so my demon essence was very special. After becoming a demon, I also had a part of the "slide" talent similar to you.
There are a few strands of spiritual power in my demonic essence that originally belonged to you.
So when you pass by me, it is like bringing a huge magnet near a small magnetic piece. The large magnet remains motionless, while the small magnetic piece always feels attractive sensitively.
Adding these two points together means that I can always find you easily, but it is difficult for you to find me.
But I was very confused at that time, "But Feng Yan could easily discover me, why is this?"
Xiaying said, "She found you not because of your demonic energy - she could sense the mood of others, and the monsters and people were very different in this matter."
It was then that I suddenly realized.
It was also from Mr. Xia that I heard Feng Yan’s real weakness. It turned out that her isolation did not come entirely from her temperament, but because she could not bear the malice from human beings.
In front of the crowd, Feng Yan was as fragile as a thin piece of porcelain.
Xiaying warned me, but even so, she should not underestimate Feng Yan - of course I understand, because you are guarding her day and night.
In the summer of the thirteenth year of Tianfu, Feng Yan was twelve years old and met Yin Shiyun, and everything was like before.
But this year I did not float into her yard again, and I watched everything here from afar like you.
However, soon I discovered something new.
This time, you are no longer alone, and there are six loyal servants around you, who are silently hiding around you and will only appear to talk to you when you are alone.
You are no longer wandering alone in the mountains and forests as leisurely as you did in your previous life. I see you staying in the buildings of Sitiantai all day long, sometimes sorting out books, and sometimes writing documents.
And those who often slipped to Feng Yan's yard to watch were sometimes a weasel or sometimes a hedgehog.
In the 14th year of Tianfu, you left Daizong Mountain and took a group of people straight into Chang'an - becoming the Wenyuan Pavilion school manager.
In the 16th year of Tianfu, a fake phoenix came from Daizong Mountain and was killed by Feng Yan on the cliff of the altar.
These things shocked me and even made me tremble.
