Chapter 20 Asking the Heart
"Who are you?"
Bai Heng stood with a sword in hand, standing in the bloody rain, but the bloody rain only passed through his body and did not affect him at all.
It is obvious that this is just an illusion.
Or, this was originally his sea of consciousness, and it became what it is now under the influence of the black sun.
And that black sun may be the ancient dragon in front of him, which is like a mountain and covered with black scales.
Facing Bai Heng's question, the ancient dragon spoke in a deep voice:
"If you know Emperor Sui, then you can understand my existence."
Having lived in Xianzhou for more than ten years, Bai Heng naturally heard the story of Emperor Sui.
Legend has it that during the fire catastrophe of Xianzhou, Qiongsang, the hometown of the Wing Maker, was attracted by the power of Jianmu and slowly approached Luofu.
The giant beasts of the Wing Maker and the Fengraomin were also beginning to invade the Xianzhou fleet.
At that time, an unknown hero stood up and made a body-snatching transaction with Emperor Sui, who was imprisoned in the Xianzhou "Zhu Ming", with the help of Emperor Sui's power.
The unknown hero cut off Jianmu with an arrow, pierced the giant beast, and broke the connection between "Luofu" and Qiongsang, turning the tide of the war in one fell swoop.
Later, the unknown hero disappeared in the war, and the descendants of the immortal boat respectfully called him "Emperor Bow Siming".
"I remember that Emperor Sui was imprisoned in the immortal boat "Zhu Ming". If you are also Sui Yang, do you have any relationship with it?" Bai Heng asked the doubts in his heart.
"As you can see, I am different from ordinary Sui Yang. They imprisoned me here because I am the shadow of Emperor Sui, a part of its split, a part that breeds destruction! And the most powerful part!"
It stared at Bai Heng, and its red-gold pupils shone like the rising sun, as if it could swallow everything.
But Bai Heng was not affected by the pressure. He spread his hands and said:
"I may know your purpose. Just like Emperor Sui and Emperor Bow Siming, you hope to make a body-snatching deal with me. Give me your power, but in return, you also need to rely on me to gain freedom, right? "
"That's right." The deep voice seemed to descend from the dome, with great momentum.
After getting the answer, Bai Heng frowned, he looked at the ancient dragon and asked:
"Why me?"
The ancient dragon spread its dark dragon wings, and its wings like a mountain covered half of the sky. It spoke again:
"You are not the only choice, but you are the most suitable choice so far. There are two reasons. First, for us Sui Yang, the emotions of the immortal species are like a cup of bitter wine, while the emotions of the short-lived species are like fine wine. If it is a matter of life and death, we will not choose to coexist with the immortal species. And you are the best body I have found so far. "
"Second, I am the shadow of the destruction entrusted by Emperor Sui, and there is a strong breath of destruction on your body and on that sword, which makes me feel very familiar. Moreover, He seems to be watching you. "
"Destruction.....He...those dreams? "Bai Heng pondered slightly.
He didn't know what other purpose this Sui Yang had.
But "Luo Fu" was at the critical moment of life and death, and he had no other choice.
Even if he had to enter the game with his body, he had to give it a try.
After a moment, he raised his head and said, "If I agree to the deal with you, what should I do?"
Gu Long looked at the bloody sky above his head and said:
"The reason why I entered your sea of consciousness is to prepare to impose the last test on you after you agree to the deal with me. After all, I only have one chance, and I can't gamble with my life. If you can pass this test, I can sign a contract with you immediately."
"What is the test?"
Bai Heng asked, holding the Soul Separation in his hand:
Gu Long said in a voice like a bell:
"Ask your heart."
After speaking, he didn't give Bai Heng any time to react.
The surrounding scene changed, and the scorched earth of blood and fire turned into another scene.
Bai Heng was in a dilapidated town. It was desolate and silent. The low stone houses were left with only broken walls and ruins. The pedestrians on the street were weak and lifeless. Everyone seemed to be running numbly and mechanically, silently waiting for the day when the loom would break.
Even after more than ten years, Bai Heng could not forget this place. After all, this was his home.
Bai Heng continued to walk forward, and the people around him seemed unable to notice his existence.
Until a thin boy with delicate features stood in front of him.
Bai Heng recognized the boy. That was him in the past.
The former self looked at Bai Heng and asked:
"Big brother, you knew that being taken away meant death. Why didn't you tell your sister that night and let her be taken away by our parents? You clearly had the opportunity to leave with your brother and younger brother? Why did you abandon them and leave alone? You are so powerful now, why don't you go find them? Don't you go for revenge? Why, tell me, why?"
Bai Heng could not answer this question, because in the process of questioning his conscience, he was just an interrogator who had no right to speak.
The scene changed again, and the deserted town became a quiet abandoned star port.
A boy covered in dust and with scratches on his face looked at Bai Heng and asked:
"Why, why are you the one who survived in the end? Why are you the only selfish guy who survived? They have to become the victims of the game? They came up with the plan, they drove the starship, and you are just a burden who can't help at all, but in the end you became the only one who survived, why!"
Bai Heng ignored the other party's anger and took a step forward.
This time, he appeared in the Xingcha Sea of the immortal boat "Luofu".
The one who appeared in front of him was no longer the previous child, but now he is the disciple of the sword leader and the cloud rider.
He held the sword in one hand, and when Bai Heng passed by him, he said:
"Why are you holding the sword? Bai Heng, are you going to kill your comrades with your own hands? Sword after sword, you pierced their bodies and cut their flesh. They called you the god of death, which I think is very appropriate. After all, your hands are stained with more than just the blood of evil creatures! When you swing the sword, will you feel remorse? Will you feel pity for them? Unfortunately, I know the answer in your heart, you won't. Because to you, they are still just strangers. If it was your master or your senior brother who fell into the devil's body, would you swing the sword so easily!"
Bai Heng's footsteps still did not hesitate, and he continued to move forward.
Until he returned to the scorched earth on blood and fire again, and the person standing in front of him became himself now.
The person in front of him asked the last question:
"Tell me, what is the path you want to take? What is the purpose of your journey? Tell me."
He kept repeating this question until Bai Heng stood in front of him and said his first sentence:
"Are you done?"
Without waiting for the other party to respond.
Bai Heng drew his sword from its sheath and slashed out with the Soul-Separating Sword in his hand.
The afterimage called the Heart Demon turned into debris.
Bai Heng said softly:
"Sorry, you guys talk too much, I'm too lazy to listen."
