Chapter 134 Practice 12
"Wait. Are we going to partner up with the Ghost King? Are we going to go to the Ghost City with him to defeat the Lord?" Tong Mian felt like he was living in a dream.
Leng Wenhan could still accept it, mainly because Xia Yi had saved Jiang Yuelu without reservation in Shugao. In his heart, it was not about right or wrong, but whether it was good or bad for Jiang Yuelu, and whether it would harm the family.
"Do you believe him?" Leng Wenhan asked.
Jiang Yuelu thought for a moment and said, "It's too rash to blindly say I believe you. Anyway, I will take full responsibility for my trust."
After these words were spoken, not only Leng Wenhan, but Tong Mian also understood.
Jiang Yuelu had tied himself and the Ghost King together. From now on, Ghost King Xia Yi's choice was his choice. Even if he did something wrong, he would accept it completely.
This is a promise that can only be made in a very close relationship. Tong Mian couldn't imagine what happened between Jiang Yuelu and the Ghost King during this missed time.
It takes courage to associate with ghosts. It takes courage to associate with the terrifying ghost king, and more importantly, it requires a gambler's spirit of risking everything.
In Tong Mian's impression, Jiang Yuelu has always been rational. He trusts logic and makes intelligent decisions based on self-consistency. Many of his plans are well thought out and carefully arranged. The words gambler and adventurer really have nothing to do with him.
He even felt that Jiang Yuelu, standing with the Ghost King, seemed like a different person.
Leng Wenhan got his explanation and quickly nodded in agreement.
Tong Mian couldn't say anything else. After accepting this matter psychologically, curiosity gradually overwhelmed his fear of the Ghost King, and flames suddenly ignited in his eyes.
Oh my god—this is the King of Ghosts!
"This, this. This shouldn't be you, no no no, it shouldn't be your image." Tong Mian stammered, "I heard that the Ghost King is always accompanied by green flying fire. Can I, can I take a look?"
Jiang Yuelu asked in confusion: "Splashing fire? Is it the big bird we made when we flew over here?"
“Can you rub it further?!” Tong Mian’s eyes sparkled.
Xia Yi didn't say anything. He moved his fingers slightly and three fiery green snakes spread out from the ground, emitting a cold and crystalline luster. The grass was covered with frosty white wherever they passed.
Two of them were extremely ferocious and pounced on Tong Mian and Leng Wenhan, scaring them so much that they took several steps back.
The other one, however, sneaked up to Jiang Yuelu's feet, poked his leg with its thin, flaming tentacles, and after getting his approval, it climbed up proudly, soon covering half of Jiang Yuelu's body.
Tong Mian yelled in embarrassment: "The difference is too big!"
His attention was quickly drawn to the green fire in front of him. Seeing Tong Mian screaming in fear, the green flame seemed to be extremely satisfied. It danced wildly in the air, swaying, shaking and trembling, and it looked like it was laughing.
Tong Mian's eyes lit up: "It's actually alive?!"
Jiang Yuelu asked doubtfully, "Is he really alive?"
In the wizard world, things that go beyond common sense often happen, and Jiang Yuelu is no longer surprised. He had seen how Xia Yi rubbed the flame into a flying bird before, and knew that this fire was definitely not ordinary fire. But when he saw the flame that was as flexible as an animal, he couldn't help but wonder if it was really alive.
Is it possible to think?
Xia Yi laughed, "I am neither a human nor a ghost. I have no resentment nor any grudge. If you stab me with a knife, no red blood will flow out. The blue fire is my blood."
"How difficult is it to control your own blood? If I want it to fly, I make it take the shape of a bird. If I want it to go into the sea, it turns into green fish bubbles. I can scare anyone I want, and if I want to kiss..." He paused delicately.
Jiang Yuelu was playing with the flexible little fire hand on her shoulder, but she heard him stop talking, "Hmm? What do you want to kiss?"
"Nothing." The enthusiastic little fire hand withdrew from him dejectedly, returned to Xia Yi's body, faded in color, and disappeared.
Also leaving were those who had been showing off in front of Tong Mian, "Hey, hey, hey, don't go, don't go!"
Tong Mian followed the running green fire with a pen and paper, trying to record the rare and valuable information. However, the flame quickly disappeared under Xia Yi's feet, and he fell flat on his face.
Tong Mian spitted the grass in his mouth and said sadly, "I think my mouth is cut again... Ugh, blood still tastes so bad."
This kind of thing happened countless times, and he quickly got used to it. He turned to look at Xia Yi with eager eyes, "Let me watch a little longer next time!"
Xia Yi snorted and ignored him.
Jiang Yuelu thought for a moment and said, "If you perform well in the future, you will be able to see his weapons, his methods of defeating the enemy, as well as a lot of lost historical materials and mysterious legends of the ghost city..."
Tong Mian was about to collapse, "There is such a good thing, God, it's so good to be alive."
Jiang Yuelu said: "Of course. The premise is that you behave well, and the least you can do is not quarrel with Leng Wenhan. Oh, and there is also the matter of Mo Zhixian to be resolved."
Tong Mian: "Leave it all to me!"
Jiang Yuelu was very satisfied, "Then let's go down the mountain first, the ghosts should be back soon."
As they walked down the mountain, he and Xia Yi walked behind, while Leng Wenhan and Tong Mian walked in front, keeping a distance. Based on just a few words of communication, the two young wizards did not think they could get along with the Ghost King calmly.
At the same time, I couldn't help but wonder how Jiang Yuelu did it?
He said they were friends... A human and a ghost, twenty years old and a hundred years old, there was such a huge gap between them, how could they be friends? And how did they become friends?
Jiang Yuelu was asking herself the same question.
Was his habit towards Xia Yi caused by his lost memory or some other reason? If he didn't care about the identity of a wizard, he could only behave like Leng Wenhan, being indifferent and distant towards Xia Yi and this relationship. After all, they only had the story of two examination halls.
But the more I get along with Xia Yi, the more I can feel myself becoming more relaxed.
This is in stark contrast to the tension when he was fighting alone before.
Could it be that the lost memory really had such a profound impact on him that even if he had forgotten it... or was it like a conditioned reflex engraved in his bones that would only awaken on the day he met him?
When we meet, thousands of changes will happen?
"Do you really want to play with them?" A cold remark suddenly came from the side.
Jiang Yuelu exclaimed, and turned to look at Xia Yi, "What?"
Xia Yi said: "Those two ghosts, do you really want to play with them?"
"How could it be!" The raised voice attracted two pairs of ears in front of him, and he quickly lowered it, "How could it be, I was... Hey, that's a questioning technique, do you understand?"
"I don't understand." Xia Yi said coldly: "If you want to, then you want to. If you don't want to, then you don't want to. If you think they are offensive, then kill them. If you want to ask questions, then don't beat around the bush."
Jiang Yuelu said patiently: "That's true. But not everyone is as strong as you. If you weren't there just now, they wouldn't be so respectful to me, right? Talk therapy is a way to defeat the strong with the weak. It's my way of survival. It's different from you."
Xia Yi listened and did not refute, but he still looked very unhappy.
"There's more." Jiang Yuelu laughed and joked, "What do you think playing is? What they mean by playing is different from what you think in your mind."
In his mind, this childish ghost king had nothing to do with love and lust, and naturally did not understand the explicit meaning of the obscene words.
Xia Yi glanced at him vaguely.
"I know."
"You know? How do you know?"
Xia Yi asked back, "Why shouldn't I know? When I first met you, I was indeed a clean slate, but I have been to many places over the years, and I have seen men and women having sex outdoors. The play they are talking about must not be very clean."
Jiang Yuelu: "Oh my, it seems you know a lot."
"You are surprised by what you have seen before." Xia Yi snorted coldly, and then asked, "What about you? Just now they said that you have already enjoyed the pleasure of sex. Have you, Jiang Yuelu? I'm afraid that the past twenty years in the world have not been wasted, right?"
Jiang Yuelu: "Well...what do you think?"
Xia Yi turned his head and said, "I see you are having a great time!"
What the hell is going on here... Jiang Yuelu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Why do you think so?"
He recalled how the conversation had begun.
"You've been speaking with sarcasm since just now. Is it because of what I said to those two ghosts? Then let me explain. At the beginning, I was talking to the ghost wife in an ambiguous way, but I soon stopped. And in most cases, my strength does not allow me to confront them head-on."
"And you're still talking about me..." Jiang Yuelu still couldn't say the word "sleep" in front of him calmly.
"And they said I've enjoyed that kind of thing. This is actually my personal privacy, but if you still want to ask, my answer is: I haven't."
Jiang Yuelu looked at him and said, "I guess you are a little angry because you didn't participate in this past. I can understand that, but I feel uncomfortable when you speak so harshly."
Xia Yi didn't speak for a long time.
After a long while, he added in a slightly annoyed tone, "Because you said you were only interested in people."
Jiang Yuelu was stunned, "Ah?"
He searched in his mind, it seemed... he had told the ghost wife that I am only interested in people.
"Isn't this normal?" He laughed, "I am a human being. Even if I like someone in the future, I will only like people and live a long life with them."
"If I stay with a ghost like her, I'll probably be dead by the time she's 200 years old."
Two hundred years old... Xia Yi calculated on his hands and felt even more disappointed.
"I found out..." Thinking of Xia Yi's occasional possessiveness, Jiang Yuelu sorted out the reasons why he was angry, and suddenly an idea came to her mind, "Because I said I was only interested in people, you thought I wouldn't be interested in ghosts... So you put yourself in my shoes and are worried about yourself?"
He was puzzled, "Xia Yi, you wouldn't..."
Xia Yi didn't understand: "What?"
You don't like me, do you?
Of course, he would not ask such a narcissistic question, so he changed the question to a more tactful way: "Do you have any feelings for me?"
Xia Yi's steps paused.
For a moment, he was a little hesitant, but he quickly adjusted himself and answered very quickly: "I know you like me. You said that people can only become friends if they like me. So of course I like you. This is a very stupid question!"
Is it just a good impression between friends?
Jiang Yuelu nodded and said with a smile: "Maybe I forgot to tell you before, there is another kind of affection that is not out of friendship. It's not too late to tell you now."
"Like the couple just now, they were together as ghosts and had been together for a very long time. Just now when you wanted to kill him, the male ghost stood in front of his wife. He wanted to die for her."
Jiang Yuelu paused.
"Affection like this is for lovers."
"Lover's..."
Murmurs came from under the ghost mask, and a drop of dew fell into the still center of the lake, causing ripples.
"Yes, lover, wife, beloved. When the affection is too deep, it will accumulate into love." Jiang Yuelu said with a smile: "You must remember this, otherwise it will be easy for others to misunderstand."
"Jiang Yuelu, come over here and take a look!"
"Here I come." He hurried forward in two steps, "Xia Yi, hurry up."
No sound came from under the heavy mask. Xia Yi's heart was occupied by one thing. In the past, it was fighting, and later, it was searching. His body had been empty for too long, so long that it could only be filled with one thing at a time.
And now, he kept thinking over and over again about what Jiang Yuelu had just said.
I feel like something is wrong, but I can't quite put my finger on it.
He couldn't get an explanation out of his hollow body.
No one had taught him these things. If Jiang Yuelu hadn't taught him, then no one else would have.
It took him a long time to find a thread, untie it, and see the answer that confused and made him bitter, and read it from his heart.
"But I can also die for you."
Other than that, he couldn't say more.
I felt dazed and confused as I stood there for a while, and was reminded of the chaos when I was born.
At that time, he could not understand the speed of time, the changes in human nature, and he had one more breath, one more vision and hearing than stone. The scenery and human voices poured in and were extremely noisy, but they could not enter his ears or eyes. He was still separated from the world by a layer.
You know, when you wake up from this chaos, you will meet Jiang Yuelu, and a hundred years of silence may not be so scary.
"Xia Yi? Hello. What's wrong with you?"
"Um?"
The Ghost King, whose name was called, was still in a daze, looking at Jiang Yuelu who had returned.
"The two ghosts you let go have returned. They brought good news and are waiting for you to question them out front."
He smiled and said, "You'd better go over there quickly. Without you, even if we are all present, the two of them won't dare to speak."
Xia Yi snorted coldly: "You are so quick."
"You said you'd come to see me with your head. How dare they not hurry?"
Soon, they came to a fork in the road at the foot of the mountain.
A huge group of ghosts occupied the road like a formation at a sports meeting. Most of them were emitting a faint gray light, but the nameless ghost couple leading the way were the most dazzling and murderous red light among them.
Niu Shou Mountain has been occupied by this couple for many years. Even a ghost hunting for food would not pass by. Many lonely ghosts were forced to the mountain for mass burials. Looking through the local history books, there is a sense of tragedy of "being forced to go to Liangshan to become a good ghost".
But these little ghosts don’t have much evil energy, and they don’t usually have any thoughts of resistance or jealousy.
Today, a ghost couple came to the mountain and gave me a scare.
They saw the arrogant ghost husband and the savage ghost wife who were about to be driven to death. After listening to their tearful and coercive stories, they learned that a big ghost had fallen on Niu Shou Mountain last night. He must find the murderer who killed the grandson of the Niu family within two hours, otherwise he would dig up their old graves and turn them into ashes...
Jiang Yuelu and the others were naturally unaware of this exaggerated story.
They came before the gloomy "phalanx" of ghosts, shrouded in a gloomy haze that blocked out the sky and made them feel suffocated.
Xia Yi said coldly: "Why are you crying so hard?"
Ghosts: “…Woo.”
The ghost couple was braver. "Family members, laugh, hahahahaha, don't look so sad, laugh, laugh, hahahaha!"
Laughter that was more unpleasant than the howling of a ghost sounded in an uneven manner.
“Hahahahahahahahaha!”
"Ha ha ha ha!"
"Hahaha!"
Jiang Yuelu and the others fell silent at the same time. This was simply a torture to their ears.
"Wait a minute, family, stop first!" The ghost woman's sharp eyes found that he seemed to have something to say, "Let this wizard speak first!"
Jiang Yuelu touched his nose and said, "Uh...what's your name?"
The ghost woman carefully glanced at the silent ghost-headed man, and answered with a stiff upper lip: "To answer the wizard's question, my surname is Hu."
Jiang Yuelu: "Okay, Miss Hu... Miss Hu. You guys——"
“No, no, no, no.” The female ghost surnamed Hu waved her hands repeatedly, “Don’t call me so intimately, I have a man, please keep some distance, call me Mrs. Hu… No! Call me Xiao Hu!”
Jiang Yuelu was sweating: "Okay, Xiao Hu, have you found out who killed the Niu family kid?"
