Chapter 636 Living on Hope
While Lin Zheng was in a trance, Bailian put away the Tiance Junshan Sword, stretched out his hand to suppress the furious Yin Baishuang, and said: "In this way, Mr. Ye Shu, you took the initiative to go down to the deep pool first, and your purpose was not just to help the young prince explore the way?”
Originally, everyone was frightened by the skulls in the water and hesitated whether to go into the water.
It was Ye Shu who told everyone that there was no danger in the water and that people needed to work together to successfully reach the bottom of the pool.
With a few words, everyone was attracted to the water, including Lin Zheng.
After thinking about this, Xun Guan immediately turned pale and cursed angrily: "What a wolf-hearted person! I knew he had no good intentions when he took the initiative to get into the water! We shouldn't believe him!"
This sentence On the surface, he was angrily scolding Ye Shu, but secretly, he was also slightly resentful of Lin Zheng for raising such a man-eating white-eyed wolf.
What a bullshit retainer’s son, he didn’t believe that the old marquis knew nothing about the origin of this little devil!
Ye Shu's cold, sculpture-like face showed no strange emotion, perhaps because of the angle. He stood under the half-conscious divine pillar, with a shadow hanging over his face. It seemed There is a lifeless indifference.
He spoke in a calm tone: "To be precise, from the moment I asked to accompany Lin Zheng to sneak into the demon world, my purpose was not to help him win the Dragon Pearl and glorify the Hou Mansion. ”
Ye Shu smiled sarcastically and said, "Lin Qingyuan, who is he? His family's glory is so glorious, why should I protect him?"
"Ye—— Book! You are rebellious!" Lin Zheng shouted angrily.
Lin Qingyuan is the father of Lin Zheng, a hereditary first-class marquis of Zeguo, an important military minister, and a generation of heroes.
In response to Lin Zheng's roar, Ye Shu smiled coldly and said: "In your heart, he is a perfect father and a great hero, but to me, he is a hypocritical, cowardly, selfish He's just a selfish guy."
"I won't allow you to slander my father like this!" Lin Zheng's eyes were filled with rage, and his features were distorted.
"Slander?" Ye Shu's whole person seemed to be shrouded in ice, and every word was cold as it passed through his soul: "Do you think that during the Battle of Beizhao, why Lin Qingyuan was able to shine so brightly in the midst of a hundred schools of thought and become unrivaled? Merit, single-handedly reviving the declining Lin family. "
Lin Zheng grew up with Ye Shu. In his heart, although Ye Shu always seemed to be indifferent to everyone, because of his shady background, he always Be able to accept any slight or insult calmly and calmly.
Even though some servants in the mansion often privately scolded him as a bastard, Lin Zheng had never seen him display his mixed hatred and anger as clearly as he did at this moment. .
It turns out that all these years... he has always hated the Lin family.
While Lin Zheng was angry, a sense of fear and confusion arose in his heart for no apparent reason.
He opened his mouth and was about to speak, but was interrupted by Ye Shu coldly: "The Langya Demon Sect dominated the north and conquered the world. Back then, the war between good and evil was suppressed by three sects, but the remaining demonic cultivators supported it. The rising Zhao State repeatedly invaded other countries, and the wars between the various countries were so fierce.
Ze State was at that time. It’s just a small country. It should have been destroyed in that battle, but your father single-handedly turned the tide and prospered the country. Whose bones do you think these glorious achievements were made on?"
Seeing his words, Lin Zheng was very ready to kill himself. His father, who he respected as a god, was reduced to nothing, and he roared: "My father has always acted upright, and he has no regrets! What's more, it was a war. Thousands of beacons on the sea, hundreds of battlefields in the sand, and bones exposed in the wild are the normal state of war. !"
Ye Shu said indifferently: "Nothing to be ashamed of. In your heart? A man who is engaged, in order to win the war and gain power, cheats on another woman and teases her in every possible way. Is this what you call always upright? "
Lin Zhengyi? Startled, then furious: "You're talking nonsense!"
Ye Shu glanced at him lightly and sneered: "In terms of age, I am three years older than you, so you should call me brother."
Lin Zheng's head boomed, as if there was something in his heart. collapse.
Three years older...
This means that before his father made a marriage contract with his mother, before they got married, he had already married Jiang Yi, the saint of the Demon Sect, without a match. , thus giving birth to Ye Shu.
According to time calculation, the year Ye Shu was born was the year when the war between Zeguo and Zhaoguo was settled.
All the answers seemed to burst out of the water in an instant, and the blood all over his body seemed to surge to the top of his head, shaking his muscles and bones.
"Just now you asked me what the purpose of coming here is?" Ye Shu looked at Bailian who was standing quietly in the sea of flowers. The anger between his eyebrows receded a little and he regained his composure: "My My mother was bullied by Lin Qingyuan, humiliated by him, abandoned by him, and finally died for him!”
From Ye Shu’s few words, it was not difficult for Balian to deduce the fate of the demon saint! What a miserable ending it will be.
Bailian was silent.
The Demon Sect is murderous and bloodthirsty. She has inherited the important position of the Saint. If she works for the Demon Sect wholeheartedly, she will have unlimited glory. On the contrary, if she unites with the famous righteous watchmen to betray the Demon Sect, she is afraid that one person will die. Not enough to vent your anger.
"My mother died, the day after that man left her."
"Do you know why the human skulls here won't hurt me?"
Ye Shu said calmly The ground seemed to be talking about someone else's story: "My mother's family, up and down, were all destroyed because of her alone. Their bodies were quartered and beheaded, and their heads were sacrificed to the demons." , plunged into this deep pool of dragon veins, and built an underground palace."
His eyes turned faintly, and his expression seemed to be crying and smiling: "The bones are the road, they are all my relatives, I am here to take them to their graves. "
This astonishing amount of information has already shocked Xun Guan and the monk who was lucky enough to survive.
The little devil secretly disclosed his life experience without concealing it, obviously he was determined not to let them live.
Xun Guan shook his voice and looked at Su Jing and Yin Baishuang for help: "Miss Jing, Miss Yin, this guy is really a remnant of the Demon Sect, and he is extremely hostile to us and other righteous people. You can’t keep it!”
“What a bullshit relative!” Lin Zheng's eyes were red, and he ignored the blood flowing freely in his mouth and nose. He slowly stood up against the sacred pillar behind him and said in a hoarse and rough voice: "My father brought you back to the Marquis Mansion when he was fifteen years old. He taught you with his own hands and taught you with painstaking efforts. You are taught by your profession, and even despite the objections of your teachers, you will be sent to Shangyang Academy to enjoy You received resources and treatment that even an orthodox young prince like me could not match.
When you were seventeen years old, your father went behind your back to beg the medical officer Xue Feng, his lifelong enemy, to save you. , he even put down his dignity and knelt in front of his mansion for a whole night. Now you tell me! These bones and skeletons are your relatives!"
Lin Zheng punched the pillar: "Ye Shu! If you still have any conscience, leave the one behind you! Keep away from the harmful monsters and get back here!”
After finishing his roar, Lin Zheng's mouth squirmed, as if he still had something to say, but when he met Ye Shu's eyes, he swallowed the last sentence alive.
Feng Ju laughed loudly, his laughter was full of ridicule, as if he was laughing at his ignorance and rampantness. He slowly raised his two pale bones arms, hugged Ye Shu tightly, and his skull was solemn. Putting it on his shoulder, he chattered his teeth and said:
"My poor nephew, you, the much-loved younger brother of the Hou Mansion, are really You don’t know the suffering of the world at all.”
“Lin Zheng.” Ye Shu looked at the furious Lin Zheng and said calmly: “Do you know why the servants who vassalized you are calling me a bastard? Wasn’t I angry at all when I was a bastard?”
Lin Zheng: “Are you planning to settle old scores with me now?”
Ye Shu ignored his question and continued to talk to himself: "How do you think a traitor's son should live in the Langya Demon Sect? Because he is A Niang's son, those demon cultivators think that I will Even if they tortured me to death, they thought they were giving me an advantage.
So they chose to let me go, leaving me like a wild dog. Being raised by an enemy like this, I have to experience the fear and despair of being a human being. When I was three years old, I was only this tall."
Ye Shu stretched out his hand to indicate his height and lowered his head: "Little by little, when I first learned to think, the first thing I thought about was how to die."
Lin Zheng's body became stiff.
Ye Shu took back his hand as if nothing had happened and recalled the past as if nothing had happened: "But at this time, Lin Qingyuan appeared. He told me that he would take me away and let me live a good life. Tell me Our country, Yunzhong, is such a prosperous and beautiful capital. He said that he would give me a home one day. ”
"I believed everything he told me, and I longed for it. I couldn't imagine that I could really live the kind of heavenly life he described. With this hope, I waited for him to take me home. . ”
The phosphorus fire from the bones and corpses flickered in and out of the blue wild flowers, creating a sense of sadness. Lin Zheng suddenly felt his lips and teeth feel cold.
He met his father when he was three years old, but he was thirteen when his father actually took him back.
There was a gap of ten years!
Ye Shu admired Lin Zheng's demeanor very much at this moment, and a sick smile appeared in his gloomy eyes: "He gave me hope of life. I am very grateful to him, but it is precisely because of this that I know, what It’s purgatory on earth.”
“When I was eleven years old, the Demon Sect came back to fight in China and came back with a disastrous defeat. This disastrous defeat reminded them again of the Saint’s back. In order to betray the shame of losing to Zeguo in an important battle, an elder from the Demon Sect proposed to take my blood and peel off my skin and bones in order to sacrifice my heroic soul."
"I have never lived a good life, and I don't want to die. But no one can save me, I can only save myself.”
Xun Guan could not imagine how an eleven-year-old child could save himself in front of a group of jackals, tigers and leopards.
But Lin Zheng knew what Xun Guan could not imagine. He heard from his mother that his father brought Ye Shu back from somewhere in Zhao Kingdom.
"Shut up!" But he didn't want to hear this from Ye Shu himself.
Ye Shu chuckled softly, with an indescribable suddenness and acrimony in his smile: "Fortunately, I was very lucky. The elder who proposed to skin me alive was very masculine. Although his temperament was cruel and murderous, But I'm very protective of my own limitations."
"I told you to shut up!"
"I climbed on top of him. I will be fifteen when Lin Qingyuan takes me back."
Ye Shu tilted his head and chuckled: "When I came to the Hou Mansion, it was true that this place was completely different from where I lived. In this world, compared to what I have endured in the past, the insults and contempt from your lackeys are really nothing to me.
I thought, if I don't have to be whipped every day and live so hard, I don't have to be so greedy to be the son of a prince. I would be willing to look after your home and nursing home. "
"But...but, I found out later that when I was three years old, Lin Qingyuan had the opportunity to take me out of there, but he didn't because he was going to get married that year, Madam. If I am pregnant with you, I must get married that year!
The wife that the Marquis is going to marry is not the saint of the Demon Sect, but the daughter of the national master of Shangyang Academy. There are countless eyes staring at him in 'Yunzhong'. At this time, he will naturally It's impossible to bring an illegitimate child back, so you see, just let me wait for ten years. "
Ye Shu breathed out slowly. Even though the deepest wound was opened by his own hands and dripping with blood, his mood still did not fluctuate much: "You always said that Lin Qingyuan was very good to me. He is almost raised as a son of the main wife, but do you know? Because of you, he made me wait ten more years. ”
Listening to this bizarre story with twists and turns, Xun Guan and others opened their mouths wide and their views were shattered. They were extremely surprised and shocked. At the same time, they felt extremely disgusted with Ye Shu’s disgusting behavior of living in an ignoble way. I want to spit some dirty words.
At this time, Yin Baishuang spoke: "I have been deeply hurt by the thing I have longed for in my life. You have endured it until now and took revenge. It is too cowardly. If I were you, I would kill you the day I know the truth."
If you can't defeat the entire Hou Mansion, then do it secretly. If you poison them to death, seeing how heartless Lin Qingyuan is, they won’t be wary of your own son, right?”
There was no indignation in the cold tone, but the seriousness It looked as if if it were her, she would really plan to do this.
Xun Guan felt a chill, and what he wanted to say suddenly stopped, not even daring to say a word.
Hearing this sentence without hesitation, Ye Shu could not help but be stunned again and again, looking a little stupid.
He never thought that at this time, even with words, there would be someone who could stand on his side so openly and support such a rebellious behavior.
I couldn't laugh or cry for a moment: "Thank you, girl, for the advice. It's a pity that Lin Qingyuan didn't live until the day when I figured out how to poison him. It's such a pity..."
Yin Baishuang said: "It doesn't matter. It's not a pity that he left a son for you to kill."
Ye Shu has an extra child A bit of a smile: "I heard that the girl's beloved was hurt by the Taiyuan Ghost Sect. The girl was so angry that she slaughtered the whole family. Such a temperament of daring to love and hate made Ye Shu admire and yearn for her very much."
"Hey..." Bai Lian interrupted Yin Baishuang dumbfounded: "Miss Yin, which side are you on?"
"Yes, Miss Yin, you have to be patient and don't show sympathy because of his pitiful life experience." If you side with that little devil, then you are really going to die.
Yin Baishuang crossed her arms and raised her eyebrows: "Although it is a good thing for you to seek revenge from the Lin family, you have also done a stupid thing to seek death by plotting against me."< br>
Ye Shu waved his hand and said, "Although I like Miss Yin and Mr. Si Chen very much. , but I’m sorry, I really can’t let you two leave here alive today.”
The gossip ends here. It can be seen that Ye Shu is really murderous. He looked sideways at the skeleton behind him and said: "Uncle, I have done everything I need to do, and the next step is up to you."
Two clusters of will-o'-the-wisps ignited from the skull's eyes: "Don't worry, none of them can leave today."
Feng Ju let go of Ye Shu's body, pushed both palms together, and the two people in the sea of flowers The Daoshentian Divine Pillar collapsed suddenly, and from the depths of the darkness, it seemed as if a fierce ghost crawled out. A thick bloody aura rose from all directions and immediately surrounded everyone.
The strong wind rises from the depths of the underground palace, as if the unknown abyss echoes the strange sound of chanting ancient mantras, like the gloomy singing of the abyss, and the howling of the eternal ghost.
The two pillars that were pushed onto the couch were quickly swallowed up and covered by the weeds and vines on the ground. White bones were like water, crazily overflowing among the grass.
No one from thousands of miles away collects the bones, but the souls are summoned and buried under every city!
Under Feng Ju's call, the army of bones rose up in the wild, and in an instant, they started to devour and kill those living people.
“If we hadn’t eaten the breath, essence and blood of living people, it would be difficult for our compatriots to be summoned in such large numbers. Sure enough, after being hungry for so many years, we can smell the slightest smell of blood. , they started killing like crazy, even when I saw them, I was extremely frightened. "
Feng Ju said he was afraid, but he burst out with a satisfied laugh. He touched Ye Shu's hair lovingly, and said lovingly: "Good boy, the Dragon Pearl is seventy miles southwest. Thirteenth, sit in the palace's gazebo. Go and take it quickly, so that you can start your journey. The power of the spiritual key in your body opens the Black Crystal Gate, one of the nine gates. The prosperity of our clan depends on you alone."
Victory is right in front of you, but there is no excitement on Ye Shu's face. , he looked at Feng Ju’s miserable skeletal face, lowered his eyes, and lightly He asked in a voice: "Uncle, where is my mother's skull?"
Feng Ju was startled, and then said: "Good boy, you go get the dragon beads first, and wait until uncle has dealt with this group of human monks. , can I take you to pick up your mother in person?”
Ye Shu's eyes flickered slightly, as if he had something to say, but he still held it back. He nodded and said, "I will definitely live up to my uncle's trust."
At this time, under the influence of a group of bones, Lin Zheng, who was surrounded by corpses, suddenly shouted loudly: "Ye Shu! Ye Shu! Ye Shu!!!" I could only shout his name meaninglessly, hoping that he would turn around.
Ye Shu did not look back. When he summoned the new sword Feng Ju left for him, he turned his back to Lin Zheng and said calmly: "Actually, you misunderstood. The Baishan Sword was originally my mother's relic. It wasn't given by Lin Qingyuan. From beginning to end, he never taught him a sword. Me."
Lin Zheng's eyes turned red and he shouted anxiously: "I didn't know it was a relic left by your mother! If I knew it, I would definitely not destroy it! ! I really don’t know! ”
You look back...
"Ye Shu!"
I'm sorry...
For two hundred years, they grew up together. Whenever he was in danger, he didn't even need Lin. When Zheng calls his name, Ye Shu always appears immediately and protects him like an elder brother.
But today.
No one can protect him anymore...
Lin Zheng and Ye Shu are both important characters, and they can be regarded as opening the Zeguo dungeon. After all, although it is a harem novel, they cannot all be important female characters. In a book You can't always talk about love. These two characters also have their own little stories, which will echo the protagonist's story from beginning to end. I hope everyone will like it
