Chapter 318 Become a Digital Life Mingqi
I really envy you, I have nothing.
"I remember you said something like this a long time ago."
Mingqi said.
In response to his question, the black-haired girl just smiled. She looked at him gently with her light golden eyes: "Have you ever?"
Mingqi: “Hmm…”
"It would be too ungrateful for a daughter of heaven who is loved by everyone to say this," Minglong said. "Moreover, in the six realms today, how many lives are displaced because of the blockage of the gates to heaven and the rampant evil..."
She raised her eyes gently and firmly, like the first rays of warm sunlight: "We have gathered countless resources in one body, so we should kill the evil and eliminate the troubles in the future."
Such noble and firm words not only appeared in Mingqi's ears, but also in every public occasion that Minglong needed to attend. At the age of ten, he killed the red demon; at the age of fifteen, he killed the evil insect. She grew up step by step along the path arranged for her by the gods, from a gifted girl to a peerless hero. Now, she walks among the six realms, like the supreme representative of the gods among the six realms.
Mingqi then lowered his eyes. His eyelashes were very long, and when the wind blew, they fluttered like the hem of Minglong's skirt: "Yes, Minglong. I'm glad that you can always remember this."
"Do you really not need my assistance in the sinking cave today?" Mingqi said, "It is a heavenly monster after all, don't be too confident."
Minglong looked at him with some surprise. She smiled and said, "It's ok that other disciples are worried about me. Mingqi, I thought you knew my strength very well."
They have practiced together in the forbidden area for so many years and are two young men with equal talents. It would be strange if Mingqi said that he didn't understand Minglong's strength. Besides, Mingqi has always been steady and taciturn, so it was really strange for him to say this.
Mingqi said no more. He nodded calmly: "Just be careful."
"Don't worry about me. You are my childhood sweetheart. You grew up with me in the God Clan... my only friend, right?"
Minglong smiled. She held the soft sword in her hand, like a crane flying into the fire, spreading her slender wings and falling into the cave.
The other disciples of the God Clan wore white clothes and guarded the cave. But Mingqi retreated quietly.
One hour, two hours, three hours.
Three days later than expected, Minglong still did not show up.
At the same time, a soft sword and a hard sword were already fighting each other.
"Oh, what's going on? This doesn't seem like a place where a swordsmith from the God Clan should appear."
The girl retracted her sword and smiled at the boy. The androgynous boy just frowned slightly.
"You don't have to pretend in front of me." He said calmly, "Minglong, you took the wrong exit. Go back, everyone is waiting for you."
The girl was still smiling, as if the mask had grown into her flesh: "What are you talking about? I don't seem to understand."
"You took on this mission headlong, not because you wanted to fight back and avenge your senior sister," Mingqi said, "Minglong, you still have time to go back. You'll just be a little late, so no one will notice."
"...They won't find the body you placed in the sinkhole, pretending to be yours."
“…”
Mingqi once saw an evil spirit called a daytime ghost. They travel in the form of human faces at night, and when exposed to sunlight during the day, the skin of the person's face will crack. The cracks spread like a spider web, and the entire skin will fall off the face.
At this moment, the smile on Minglong's face was peeling off, like a daytime ghost in the sunlight.
"Why?" she said.
"Let's go back." Mingqi said.
"I understand. Was it my last words that made you realize that I was saying goodbye to you? A little emotion ended up hurting me." Minglong said, "Or it's because we grew up together practicing, and you know me too well. You know all my moves and abilities, so you know the reason why I came here..."
"Minglong, I won't say anything. If you go back now, the elders won't hold you accountable." Mingqi extended his hand to her.
Minglong would not ask him why again. Because they are already aware of each other's responsibilities. When Mingqi saw that Minglong's fingers did not leave the hilt of the soft sword, he still said those words.
"I am the only one in this passage now." He said calmly, "An hour later, there will be other disciples of the God Clan here. I told them that if I am not back by the time, they should come in together."
At that moment, Minglong threw the sword in his hand to the ground.
Mingqi had never seen Minglong with such an expression before - angry, sad, and almost hysterical.
"I hate you!" she cried. "I hate you!"
Mingqi just let her shout silently. He finally said: "Minglong, the sword is the result of the hard work of the swordsmith. When the Heavenly Gate is opened, I will be one of the ten sages who provide the source of power. Maybe the elders won't, but if the sword breaks, I will die."
“…”
Mingqi didn't say much. He waited for Minglong to pick up the sword himself. When Minglong walks out of this passage, she will be a triumphant returner who is three days late, but she will still return.
Moreover, she will still maintain her perfect smile.
…
"So there is such a past between you two?"
Mingqi turned his head. He saw that the person who said this was not Ning Mingmei, but the handsome young man who was sitting below him and listening. There was always a frightening sharpness in the corners of that man's eyebrows and eyes. From the first moment he saw him, Mingqi knew that this young man was the sword spirit from that year.
Most of the time, this young man had a pleasing smile on his face - even if that smile never reached his eyes. But at this moment, he looked at him, with no concealment of malice and disgust in his eyes.
"So, have you told enough of your story? You and her have such a sad and beautiful past. You don't want to gain our sympathy, do you?" Lian Chengyue looked at him, and it was as if there were blood-red butterflies fluttering their wings in her eyes, and the falling pieces were all poisonous scales. "That's enough. I want to know what happened on the day of the opening of the Heavenly Gate?"
“…”
"You don't think that if you keep silent we won't know anything, do you?" Lian Chengyue actually stood up and walked towards him. "In fact, we can guess what happened."
“…”
"Do you want to borrow our knife to kill people? She threw you into the blood abyss and you have been at large for so many years. The future of the entire God Clan has also been destroyed. You are not willing to accept this, are you?" Lian Chengyue leaned down and looked him straight in the eyes. "Speak!"
There was blood welling up in Lian Chengyue's eyes. It was clear that even after all these years, he still harbored a deep hatred for it.
What finally broke the deadlock was a clear and cold voice.
"You regret it, don't you, Mingqi? You feel guilty towards her. You think you tried to stop her from making her first mistake. But later, your stopping made her make a bigger mistake."
Ning Mingmei...
Mingqi looked at the young man in black on the stage. This person always seems to have the ability to see through people's hearts.
"Under the Tianzhu Altar, which is closest to the Tianmen, is the most endless abyss. If the Tianmen was opened and spiritual energy filled in again, then evil creatures like Hunlun would not have as many places to breed as they do now. At that time, we already felt that such evil creatures had consciousness different from that of the six realms. We also guessed that it might come to stop us from opening the Tianmen, but I didn't expect..."
Mingqi spoke up and revealed a horrifying truth that neither Ning Mingmei nor Lian Chengyue had expected.
That's what Minglong used to do.
"What you mean is that after that incident, the increased spiritual energy between heaven and earth...did not come out from the split sky gate, but from the altar..." Lian Chengyue pondered.
"Weng Xingyun saw the altar." Ning Mingmei said.
"It seems that this is the reason why she must kill Weng Xingyun. Moreover, she wants to ruin her reputation and make every word she says become crazy talk." Lian Chengyue said.
After a moment, his pupils shrank and the corners of his lips curled up, "Interesting, really interesting, hahahaha! I thought it was interesting enough that our demon clan was killed by the goddess holding the magic sword I made. I didn't expect that your clan of gods would be even more interesting!"
"She didn't leave you on the altar, but threw you into the blood abyss." Ning Mingmei said, "It seems that she is..."
"She is still somewhat loyal to you, is that what you mean?" Lian Chengyue looked at Mingqi with red eyes, "Is it to repay you for not telling the elders that she wanted to fake her death and escape?"
Ning Mingmei: "It seems that she really doesn't want you to live. She thinks that if she leaves you on the altar, even though you are in that state, you might have a chance to break free and become a threat to her. It would be much easier to kill you and throw you into the blood abyss. You see, Minglong is still very far-sighted. You are not dead, but you really come out to expose her past."
Lian Chengyue: ...
What? In front of the master, the person with rich emotions is myself who calls myself a villain.
And what’s wrong with the way Master speaks? Wasn’t Master’s tone just now quite caring and understanding towards Mingqi? How did it become like this now! ?
"Since this is the case, we can only make preparations as soon as possible." Ning Mingmei said, "I don't think she would have thought that you would be able to break through your defenses so quickly and confess this matter. When the insider I arranged in the administrative department saw the high standard of reception, he knew that she would definitely come here secretly to see what we have fished out of the Blood Abyss. It is really a good thing that I have stipulated that leaders of different levels have different levels of reception standards. You see, this shows that she is going to visit incognito."
Mingqi: …
What's going on? I'm still here. Are you just going to ignore me after talking about those memories?
Ning Mingmei: "In short, you will definitely be killed, Mingqi. If I were her, I would not let you go. And I don't want to be an enemy of Minglong now."
Mingqi:?
Ning Mingmei: "Mingqi, let me confirm our common goal again - you want the revival of the Gods, right?"
"……yes."
"You feel sorry for her, but you feel even more sorry for the people of the world." Ning Mingmei said, "In all those years in the Blood Abyss, you have already paid back what you owed her. Now, you owe it to the people of the world, and you also owe it to me."
Ning Mingmei pointed to his spine. Mingqi was silent. Ning Mingmei added: "Besides that, you also owe another girl."
"...Weng Xingyun." Mingqi said softly.
Ning Mingmei: "So, let's execute the first step of the plan first - since you will definitely be killed, become a digital life, Mingqi."
? ? ?
Wait, what digital life?
