Chapter 172 Afterlife
"What do you think?"
Zheng Xiu did not answer his question, but asked back.
Ding Ning raised his eyebrows very simply and didn't speak at all.
"People will always change." Zheng Xiu put his hand on the edge of the cradle, tapping his fingers lightly at the cradle, and said in a rare soft voice: "I want to figure out what kind of person you are now."
Ding Ning still didn't reply because he felt that such a conversation was unnecessary and boring.
Zheng Xiu looked at him and continued: "You could die by yourself because of the life and death of some people in Changling. If you are such a person who sacrifices yourself, can you die by this baby or let me live?"
"I think you've been wrong in any way."
Ding Ning sneered, looking at the other party's perfect face, but he could no longer remember any sweet things back then, only disgust: "Never absolutely selfless is the person who sacrifices himself for others without a choice. Any choice is related to his own love and hate. I chose to die in battle, but for two reasons, one is the greatest sorrow, the death of my heart, and the other is the people in the Bashan Sword Field, who are confidants who share life and death with me, and my brothers and sisters, so even if I die, I want them to live. However, now a mother and son in Yan Realm are innocent, but I have no deep feelings for them before. You said that you want me to die for them and forgive me for not being so selfless. If you must threaten me with their life and death, then you are also the culprit. I can only kill you to avenge them. And let people like you go, there will be more innocent people like them die because of you. I believe she can understand it."
Ding Ning's last sentence was what he said to the ordinary peasant woman.
Originally, this ordinary peasant woman was extremely frightened, especially when Zheng Xiu knocked her fingers on the cradle, she trembled all over and couldn't help but move, but was stopped by Ding Ning's calm gaze.
When he heard Ding Ning's words, although the ordinary peasant woman's body was still trembling slightly, there was a sudden increase in her eyes, and she even nodded slightly to Ding Ning.
Zheng Xiu was silent for a long time, then spoke slowly, "No one has ever truly known the secret of the Nine-Dead Silkworm except you. Since no one except you knows it, who can know that you are not deliberately sad, or that you are sure to be reborn after death and become stronger?"
"Do I need it?" Ding Ning looked at her with an idiot's gaze and mocked: "I am already invincible, why do you have to die and rebuild it again? If you were replaced by you, would you give up what you can get and risk dying and rebuilding it again?"
"Just to make you feel more guilty? Will you feel more guilty about it? Does that make sense?"
Looking at Zheng Xiu who was silent again, Ding Ning added another sentence.
Zheng Xiu couldn't answer.
Because it really doesn't make sense.
"If you are still the same as the person before, then I can trust you. I can beg you... Please tell me the secret of Jiude Silkworm. I will let this mother and son go." Zheng Xiu slowly raised his head and looked at Ding Ning, "Because I really want to know what Jiude Silkworm is."
Ding Ning glanced at her faintly.
Then he nodded to the peasant woman behind Zheng Xiu, then reached out to pick up the baby in the cradle and handed it to the peasant woman.
The peasant woman didn't say anything, her eyes were filled with tears. She knelt down and kowtowed to Ding Ning, then quickly pushed the door and left.
Her footsteps were getting farther and farther away, completely disappearing.
This farmhouse has become absolutely quiet.
Zheng Xiu started drinking hot soup.
"If there is no example, no master teaches you, no one has tried it, but you just get a broken book, which records it tells you that when you are about to die, you can use this technique according to the method, and there is a possibility of resurrection. You will try to practice, will you try whether it really has this effect?" Ding Ning looked at her and asked.
Zheng Xiu paused.
The lips that became brighter again due to the heat remained at the edge of the rough bowl.
She thought about it seriously and said, "It is possible that you can get the opportunity to rebuild."
Ding Ning shook his head: "So you are different from ordinary people. Even if I have obtained the inheritance of Emperor You and the Nine Dead Silkworm, I have even fully considered the practice method of the Nine Dead Silkworm, but there is no precedent to follow. Even Emperor You himself died and has not seen rebirth. So I don't believe in the resurrection of the Nine Dead Silkworm in my heart. How could I try it with my body?"
Zheng Xiu said: "So if you didn't tell me the Nine Death Silkworm back then, you also felt that I was different from ordinary people. You even worried that I would get this technique, so you really tried it, for fear that you would lose me?"
Ding Ning glanced at her without an answer.
Zheng Xiu sneered, "Since I think I am ambitious and so crazy, why do you still choose me?"
"I told you that no one is perfect." Ding Ning said calmly: "Even when it comes to the Li family and the business, you are close to my bottom line, but I meet you and after I say you will change, I think you will really change. However, the facts prove that you don't think so in your heart, and that's indeed my fault."
Zheng Xiu didn't speak for a long time.
Such a conversation made her think of many things.
However, she ended up like Ding Ning, feeling that these were indeed meaningless.
Her face became cold again, and then she said, "What is the skill of the Nine Death Silkworm itself? Why did you burn your body into ashes but still be resurrected?"
"It's very simple if you only talk about the truth."
Ding Ning did not hesitate and said directly: "This kind of exercise can cut out a piece of qi and blood and seal it in a certain place like practicing the natal object. When the cultivator dies, his spiritual will will be contained in the natal blood as if he is placed in the flying sword talisman."
"Yuanwu and I also thought that this was possible, so we used the true fire to burn all your qi and blood. However, we never thought that a piece of qi and blood could be sealed somewhere outside the body. How could a fresh life object last forever?" Zheng Xiu looked at Ding Ning and said, "This is not recorded in the scriptures of the world of practitioners. Just like fresh meat will naturally turn into rotten meat over time and remain unchanged for a long time. There is no reason."
"In theory, Qi, blood, life objects cannot survive after leaving the body. However, there will be some special cases, such as the ice in extreme cold, and the survival time will become longer." Ding Ning said lightly: "Eight Emperor has the Nine Nether King Sword."
Zheng Xiu frowned, "How could your life blood be on the Nine Nether King Sword of the eldest lady of the Gongsun Family?"
Ding Ning smiled with some emotion: "When she fell in love with me, I already have you, she was hurt by love, and when she left Changling, she asked me, "If it was too late this life, if there was a next life, would I be with her? I gave her the Nine Nether King Sword."
Zheng Xiu said: "So when you gave the sword, a piece of blood in your life was sealed in the sword by you."
"I didn't believe that the Nine Dead Silkworm could really be resurrected from the dead. Although I gave the sword, I didn't tell her about the Nine Dead Silkworm at all, but I didn't expect that there would be a next life." Ding Ning said calmly: "Later, you and Yuanwu used thunder methods to destroy the Gongsun family from me. She thought it was my instruction and misunderstanding of me, but she never abandoned the Nine Nether King Sword until I died in Changling. She brought the Nine Nether King Sword into Changling. A miracle really happened, and I was born with it."
"It was not until she returned to Changling that you were born?" Zheng Xiu's eyes thumped for a moment, and he could hear the clues.
