Chapter 338 The Darkness of Falling Rain and Wild Streams (Part 2)
You Su turned around suddenly.
The lightning flashed again, illuminating his face pale.
He looked at the endless waves of evil under the tree and hesitated.
Should we go back now to save Ji Xueruo and keep her away from that weird giant snake that died thousands of years ago?
Or rush to the outside of the island without hesitation, put an end to this crazy trial as soon as possible, and save everyone's lives?
He wielded the Mo Song Sword all the way to kill, and his arms became increasingly numb. Xuan Qi in the spiritual platform had been squeezed continuously since the fight for the Three Yuan Purple Gold, and his body was really exhausted.
But he never thought of retreating. He moved forward tirelessly just to quickly save the lives of those who trusted him, not to quickly establish his identity as the person who captured the treasure.
It was as if this was his responsibility, and he chose to accept it.
His goal from Izumo City was actually very simple, just to protect a few people around him.
But then, unknowingly, the situation developed beyond his expectation. He became the unique Son of God and the source of all evil.
Although he had always thought that his activities in the Evil Control Department were in vain, it was hard for him not to admit that he really felt that he would be the savior, and salvation seemed to be his inescapable mission. Whether he is active or passive, he seems destined to face today's situation——
Should you follow your original intention to save the people you cherish, or should you follow the dictates of fate and be the great savior?
When he was an unknown swordsman in Izumo City, he longed to witness the top of the world one day, but after he really stepped out, he missed himself in that small town who knew nothing. Perhaps it would be best if these eyes could never see, at least then he wouldn't face such a difficult choice.
So many pairs of expectant eyes looked at him, expecting and trusting him to bring the inheritance out and end this farce. But if he went back to save Ji Xueruo now, he knew very well that even he would have difficulty getting through this increasingly dense evil tide. He is not afraid of evil spirits, but he is by no means a tireless iron man.
When he returns to Sanyuan Mountain full of everyone's hopes, what kind of eyes will they cast on him? What would Ji Xueruo think of him?
You Su couldn't think clearly. For the first time, he felt that his heart was as tired as his body.
But time was passing by and he had to make a decision as soon as possible.
Just when he was extremely anxious and entangled, he suddenly saw a slightly familiar face.
In the evil tide, there was a person who stopped and looked at him quietly on the tree. The expressionless evil puppets flowed past his shoulders like waves cut by rocks.
That was actually the dead Huang Xi.
But You Su also knew very well that this was not Huang Xi, because the simple Xihuangzhou monk would not show such arrogant eyes.
He was obviously looking up, but it made people feel that he was looking down at him, as if the eyes looking at him came not from under the tree, but from the sky.
"They are in dire straits." Huang Xi said with a smile.
You Su knew who ‘they’ meant.
You Su took a deep breath: "Where is she?"
"On the verge of death." Huang Xi replied still smiling.
Hearing these four words, Yousu's heart was shocked. Standing on the tree trunk, he felt that the soles of his feet were floating, as if he was about to fall.
"Even the most powerful divine beast cannot live for more than five thousand years. Qi Snake was once the most recognized demon by Xingzhao Immortal Ancestor, but it was also sealed here by Xingzhao Immortal Ancestor himself. The ancestor of the Snake Clan is not actually Qi Snake , but Xingzhao Immortal Ancestor
Because Qi She wanted to go against the will of heaven and cooperated with the extraterrestrial demon to transform herself into the legendary dragon. Xingzhao Immortal Ancestor discovered its ambition, so he forcibly used its bloodline to create a group of people, in order to divide the power of its bloodline.
Therefore, the Snake Clan has actually had no males since its birth. The records of male offspring in their own history books are wrong information left by Xingzhao Immortal Ancestor. The purpose is to cover up this ethnic group that should not exist. In fact, they have always relied on The blood of Qi Snake in the snake blood pool continues to the descendants.
Qi Snake's power gradually weakened with the spread of its bloodline, and it only managed to survive today by using forbidden techniques. The arrival of the little snake awakened it, the Immortal Ancestor passed away, and the seal on it began to loosen. The blood in this little snake is very special. Now it wants to take back its own bloodline and restart its great plan to transform from snake to dragon. ”
Huang Xi spoke eloquently, and his voice seemed to have a kind of magic power, gently dispelling the anxiety in You Su's heart, and You Su listened to what he said without realizing it.
"Do you want to go back and save her?" Huang Xi's smile did not change, or even got thicker.
You Su was obviously in a hurry, but he couldn't move forward, as if this body didn't even belong to him.
"But even if you go back, you can't save her, and you can't kill that snake. So I suggest you don't hesitate anymore, continue to go outside the island, save their lives, and get the heaven that everyone dreams of. Wake up.
People will recognize you for your feats, and you will gain both fame and fortune. This is the perfect start for the rest of your life. You will be the most eye-catching existence in the entire five continents, and then you will rapidly grow and lead the monks in the five continents to destroy the evil gods, and become a saint comparable to the five great immortal ancestors. ”
Huang Xi's words were full of deception. His description was very brief, but it seemed that You Su really saw the perfect future.
You Su said nothing. The storm on the island was so fierce that it hurt people's faces.
"Let me go."
Like sparks of disillusionment in the rain, these three words popped out of You Su's mouth.
Huang Xi stopped his smile and looked a little solemn:
"You can't save her."
"Let me go!" You Su growled, and a dull thunder sounded in the sky.
"Many people hope that you can live. Even if you don't save them, you should live. It's impossible for you to survive between the Qi snake and the evil tide. Have you ever thought that maybe even she doesn't want to? See you look back.”
Huang Xi is still trying to dissuade You Su.
The cold rain hit You Su's face like bullets, but he could no longer feel the pain. He felt more irritable than ever before, but at the same time he felt unusually calm.
"I will save her! I can save her! Let me go!"
Huang Xi shook his head, "You can't do it."
His voice sounded determined, as if he had seen through everything about You Su, so he had no doubts about his weakness.
You Su didn't reply. He just took off his sunglasses. The pupils under his sunglasses were like two black holes that absorbed all light, deep and indifferent.
It was the first time that You Su showed his most special side to a person without any scruples. He had been wearing the cloak of a blind man for too long. He didn't know why he didn't tell anyone that he could actually see in this situation. Even his closest junior sisters and junior wives, they obviously would never dislike him even if they knew he was a monster.
But he just didn't say it. Half of the reason was because he was enjoying the benefits of being mistaken for a blind man even though he was not blind. The other half of the reason was entirely due to his subconsciousness. He didn't like to pry, but more like Instinctively avoiding something.
"These eyes like to see things they shouldn't see... they should be blind..."
You Su remembered this vague sentence deep in his memory. He remembered this sentence the night he killed Ming Dao and was unconscious a few days ago, but he soon forgot it, just like when he remembered this sentence before.
But when I was hesitating just now, this sentence was recalled again.
You Su finally understood why he had always subconsciously not wanted to tell others why he could see, because he knew that someone deliberately made him blind and deliberately prevented him from seeing the world.
Blind people cannot walk on other 'roads'. They will only follow the roads that have been opened. Some people hope that the blind person will become a blind person.
And when he was inexplicably able to see, he realized that he must not expose this secret. This was a window that God quietly opened for him. He didn't dare to let anyone know. He didn't want to bring trouble to himself, nor did he want to harm those close to him, so 'seeing' became a person who was more silent than Allah. Talk about secrets.
But now he took off his glasses, as if he wanted to show Huang Xi his determination.
"You can't do it." Huang Xi shook his head.
His pupils seemed to move, and Yu Su, who was looking directly at him, seemed to be in another world, and scenes with sounds appeared in front of him.
They were people struggling in the turmoil. They struggled to persevere amidst the raging snakes and evil tides. The blind man who rushed into the evil tide alone with his inheritance became their last hope.
The holy white snake formed by Ji Xueruo was surrounded and bound by Qi snakes, and her life was gradually strangled in this way. And her beautiful snake eyes were just looking at the direction You Su left. You Su vaguely seemed to hear the word 'let's go', and his voice was as soft as the drifting wind.
"So what if you can do it? No one wants you to look back, don't go against everyone's wishes."
Huang Xi opened his arms and his voice became louder:
"Your elders, lovers, and friends are all expecting you to leave with your inheritance. You are the protagonist of the world, and they will all be ecstatic for your success. Put your thoughts aside and go outside the island."
"Shut up..."
You Su yelled hysterically, "Isn't this what you want to see! Don't you just want me to go on this path! This path is completely opposite to the path of my life!!"
Huang Xi froze in place, the swirling storm seemed to be centered on him.
He looked at the boy's eyes, which were no longer covered by sunglasses, and suddenly smiled again:
"Whether it is the evil tide or the snake, it is not under my control. Some people want to control your destiny, but there will always be a day when it goes against the true way of heaven. Sooner or later you will face this choice, I am not forcing you . I advise you one last time, go forward and don’t look back. You and the people you love only live once.”
You Su held the Mo Song Sword tightly, as if he wanted to embed the sword into his own flesh.
He went through difficulties and obstacles along the way, but he was always able to turn dangers into safety. Inexplicable opportunities and unavoidable responsibilities were finally placed on him.
From an unknown blind boy in a small town to where he is today is an unimaginable experience. And as long as he takes the inheritance out of the island step by step, his life will usher in the most critical climax.
Ji Xueruo's death will become a trivial regret. She was originally different from her junior sister and senior sister, and she did not even have a definite relationship with him. There are so many beauties waiting for his return, so he doesn't have to go against his fate for Ji Xueruo.
The promised future would be wonderful, but You Su didn't want it.
He realized that before today, everything was pushing him, as if there were a pair of invisible hands pushing him to play a key role in major events.
But today, in the overseas fairy islands beyond these five continents, You Su used his eyes to spy on those invisible hands.
"Am I going to die?"
"He can't spy here, and from now on, he will never be able to spy on you again." Huang Xi replied with a smile, a sense of transcendent confidence in his tone.
You Su was silent for a moment, then he pulled up his long scattered hair and tied it behind his head, just like the moment he made up his mind in front of Zhenren Ling.
The lightning suddenly brightened, and his face was as stern as a young god.
"Can I leave now?" You Su asked.
"Of course." Huang Xi stretched out his hand, like a host seeing off guests.
You Su was about to fly down from the tree, but Huang Xi stopped him again:
"If you want to ask more, are you looking back this time to fight against fate, or are you just trying to save that little white snake?"
You Su pursed his lips and shook his sword, his voice was like a clear spring: "They are all there."
A trace of doubt flashed in Huang Xi's eyes, but he was quickly relieved and asked again:
"Are you just going to run and save her?"
You Su turned around and was about to ask a question, but Huang Xi took the lead and said with a smile:
"The evil tide is not under my control, and the snakes are not under my control, because they do not belong to this island, but there are still many things on this island that are under my control."
He then clapped his hands, and Yusu immediately felt an unusual vibration, which came from the ground.
In the blink of an eye, the ground suddenly cracked, and a huge rat with scales all over its body and a flash of fire in its mouth broke out of the ground.
It opened its bloody mouth and roared, and the evil tide around it was shaken away by it. The fire brewing in its mouth seemed to be cursing the rainy day it hated most.
"Just ride it, it should still be too late."
Huang Xi suddenly said loudly, and as soon as he finished speaking, You Su felt that his legs were out of his control, and he jumped off the tree trunk in an awkward posture for no reason.
The fire armadillo not far away rushed to his feet at this moment, and he landed firmly on the fire armadillo's hard head armor.
This giant beast had unimaginable speed, and Yu Su had to immediately grab its armor to prevent it from being thrown away. But before he had time to look back and take one last look at Huang Xi, the boat had already passed the Ten Thousand Mountains.
Huang Xi, who stayed where he was, just looked at the direction You Su was leaving with complicated eyes. He smiled and stroked his beard, but was surprised to find that there was no beard on this body at all.
He burst into laughter, looking at the cloudy sky, feeling an unprecedented sense of relief:
"Who said the protagonist of the story must be a madman who defies nature? I think this affectionate love story is not bad..."
