Chapter 752 The Island of the Soul
In front of the border of Yixi Kingdom, the light of the teleportation array flashed slightly, and a young man's figure appeared.
After learning from Magistrate Guo that the birthplace of the Lord of Jiuyou Hall was the Yixi Kingdom, Ye Shuo was greatly shocked. He had no time to say goodbye to his advisors and set off on his way home that night.
Magistrate Guo did not know the details of which country was destroyed that year. As for the relevant maps from two thousand years ago, most of them have become sensitive information now and cannot be accessed in ordinary archives.
Since this is the history of Yixi Kingdom, we naturally have to go back to Yixi Kingdom to find out!
On the way, Ye Shuo had already thought that this matter must be assisted by someone from the royal family, and among his old friends, the only one who could speak in front of the royal family was——
Returning to Zhiyuan College again, the vegetation is lush and lush, the teaching building is filled with the sound of reading, and young students are running on the playground, just like the scenery back then.
A group of students have been sent away, and there will be a new group. Only the college has always stood here, witnessing the changes in this scene.
Somehow, looking at the familiar scenes along the way, Ye Shuo suddenly felt a little sentimental, and his hurried steps gradually slowed down. A feeling of time intertwined took shape in front of his eyes.
Walking in this corridor, it seemed that just by raising his eyes, he would see Xiling Jiang Kun, Xu Yuan and Jia Luo running towards him, laughing and making trouble around him, and then he would return under their "surround".
When I went to class, it seemed like nothing had changed.
In the college era, those inexperienced children were always full of dreams. While they complained that the college had restricted their talents, they enjoyed the friendship with their peers and cried and laughed about their exam results...
If they had known from the beginning that after leaving the academy, they would encounter difficulties in society, and finally chose to surrender to reality, would their eyes still be so clear and full of hopes and dreams now?
Former friends, three years ago, Xiling Jiang Kun became the heir of the Xiling family, and Jialuo and Gongsun Zhiqi finally got married. Now, they must be living better, right? Only you are still alone.
The world is wandering, accomplishing nothing...
Dingtian Mountains, Zhiyuan College, Talisman Sect, he has traveled to many places and had many old friends, but he does not dare to contact any old friend easily. He is afraid that the other party's achievements will destroy him today.
The bottom of the valley. Those three blank years... finally made him a person who was out of touch with this society.
Pushing open the door of the dean's room, Ye Shuo saw the beautiful woman who stood up in surprise at his arrival. Ye Shuo could no longer suppress the sorrow in his heart, so he rushed forward and hugged her tightly.
"Feifei!"
Nangong Fei seemed to be startled by him, and let him hold her stiffly, while tentatively raising a hand and gently stroking his hair.
"Ye Shuo, what's wrong with you?... Be good, don't cry, and tell me slowly?"
This long-lost warmth made Ye Shuo deeply indulged in it. He subconsciously hugged her tighter and kept nuzzling her neck with his nose.
At least, she will not push me away as cruelly as Qi Dingsha. So many things have happened during this period, and I am really tired. She is the only support and the island of my soul...
"Why does everything I do seem to be wrong? What should I do..."
"You...what's wrong with you?" Nangong Fei looked out the door uneasily, worried that a student or instructor would happen to come in and bump into her at this time, but Ye Shuo was crying sadly, so she couldn't push him away.
Found a dilemma.
With great difficulty, Ye Shuo let her go. His eyes were red and swollen, and his first words were: "Do you have any wine here?"
…
Half an hour later, several empty wine bottles were piled up on the desk. Ye Shuo's cheeks were red and his vision was blurred. He was holding a wine glass and still pouring it into his mouth.
Just now, he told in detail everything that happened in Yaowang Valley and Time Bell Tower. Although time has passed, the heavy weight of more than ten human lives still weighed on his heart, and he never felt relieved for a moment.
"After being disconnected from the world for three years... no matter how hard I try, I can't achieve anything."
Nangong Fei sighed and wanted to take the wine glass from him, but Ye Shuo's reaction was very quick at this time. He turned his hand and raised his neck, and the dripping wine fell down the corner of his mouth and flowed into his collar.
"When the Xuantian sect wiped out my family, I once wanted to be a more evil person than evil people, but choosing to be indifferent in the face of injustice was against my own conscience. Later, when I chose to follow my heart again, I gained
But it's still the worst result... I'm really at a loss, I don't know what the right thing to do is..."
He threw the wine glass on the table, punched his chest hard with his backhand, and shouted: "It's hard to be a good person! It's even harder to be a good person! It's even harder to be a well-deserved good person -!"
Nangong Fei sighed softly, moved the wine glass, took out the embroidered handkerchief from her arms, and gently wiped the wine stains from the corners of his mouth.
"Would you like to hear a few honest words from me?"
"Your kindness is not wrong, what is wrong is just your understanding of yourself."
Ye Shuo squinted his eyes in confusion and looked at her in confusion.
"Actually, in this world, most people are just ordinary people. As long as they don't do bad things and provide help to others within their ability, they are considered a good person." Nangong Fei smiled at him gently, "Not really.
Everyone can save the world. If life is the life of the common people, but you are always thinking about being a savior, then it is no wonder that you will be trapped in a cocoon."
"Let me tell you a story." After making a cup of hot tea for him again, Nangong Fei changed the subject, "In another college where we just established diplomatic relations, there was such a student, his father
He was a police officer. As long as he could remember, he often listened to his father's stories of chasing criminals and admired him very much. He also had the same heroic complex in his heart."
"That was when he was still very young. One day, he overheard his father summoning his colleagues in the room and talking about the details of a case. At that time, his father had been staying awake for several days in order to hunt down the prisoner. The child felt that
My father is working very hard, and I hope I can help share the burden.
After hearing too many detective stories, he thought he had really become a detective, so he went to catch the bad guys according to his own plan without consulting anyone."
"The result is conceivable. How could a child without any training foundation be able to fight against such a vicious criminal? The child's reckless behavior put himself in danger. In the end, his father died in this mission to protect him.
"
Ye Shuo blinked his eyes twice and tried hard to run his chaotic mind, but he didn't know why Nangong Fei told him this unrelated story.
"Don't you think you are very similar to this child?" Nangong Fei looked at him, "You are all blindly taking on responsibilities that do not belong to you, so you will end up with a bitter fruit. If you position yourself, you can be a
Ordinary people, if you do what ordinary people should do, I think you will live a happier life than you do now."
Ye Shuo stared at her blankly for a long time, until he let out a loud belch, and then sighed: "Maybe... Then, what happened to that child?"
Nangong Fei shrugged: "Since then, I have had serious psychological problems. It is said that I still have communication difficulties until now."
Ye Shuo sighed deeply again: "Everyone has their own troubles, and being a human being... is really not easy."
He tilted his body and slowly lay down against Nangong Fei, his ears squeezing against the softness of her chest.
"I'm really tired. I only have this moment. I want to take a good rest and stop thinking about anything..." Lying on her legs, she raised her eyebrows and looked up, showing a faint smile. "
Lying drunk on the lap of a beautiful woman is also a kind of style."
Nangong Fei frowned, gently massaged his head, and whispered to himself: "Then let's get drunk, and then stand up again. You are my first man, you can't be so depressed.
!”
In such warmth, Ye Shuo closed his eyes with satisfaction. Indeed, it had been too long since he had been able to have a good sleep...
…
Darkness.
Ye Shuo didn't know where this place was, or how he got here. He turned around stiffly, his hungover mind still very sluggish.
A hollow sound rang out without warning. The sound resounded throughout the space, as if coming from all directions at the same time.
"Some people have the heart to save the world, and they also have the ability to save the world, just like the master of the Heavenly Palace. He is the real savior. And some people have the heart to save the world, but do not have the corresponding ability. His untimely compassion will only
Causing more people to fall into the abyss of suffering. You are such a person, and your existence is simply the scum of this world!"
As the last word fell, in the empty darkness in front of me, a ray of light suddenly fell, illuminating a thin figure in front of me.
The man slowly turned around. He had a face exactly like Ye Shuo's. But although his facial features were the same, his inner temperament was completely opposite. Two dark shadows trailed from the corners of his eyes, with a condescending feeling in his eyes.
There was a cold smile on the corner of his mouth, and there was a faint layer of black mist surrounding his body, filled with evil spirits.
Ye Shuo was shocked and shouted: "Who are you? Why are you pretending to be me?"
That "Ye Shuo" smiled coldly: "You are me, but I am not you. But one day, you will completely become me."
Ye Shuo frowned in confusion when he heard his words that were like a tongue twister. For some reason, when he was face to face with this person, he always felt an empty chill in his soul, which rejected the other person's existence, but also felt...
A strange longing, as if they were originally a lost body...
"Ye Shuo" walked towards him step by step, with a look of disgust in his eyes: "You have fallen again. Wasn't it good when I controlled your body? You successfully challenged the Burning Heaven Sect.
You took revenge and founded the Dingtian Sect. You are the supreme elder worshiped by everyone! How can you look like this useless person now?"
He approached step by step, but Ye Shuo backed away step by step: "I...maybe it was indeed very beautiful at that time, but I was not happy at that time."
Gathering up the courage, he raised his voice and shouted back to the other party: "What I want is to be with my friends, help each other, and grow together. I don't want to be a lofty loner...!"
"False!" "Ye Shuo" interrupted him fiercely, "Sooner or later you will like it! The infinite pleasure and desire brought by extreme power!"
"You were destined to be extraordinary in this life, but you surrendered yourself. If it weren't for your pedantry and stupidity, how could you have suppressed my power again? How could you be like this useless person now!"
As he became more and more excited as he spoke, the black energy around him suddenly increased, "If you are willing to become the Evil Emperor, you can achieve the Heaven-reaching Realm, the Nirvana Realm, and the Reincarnation Realm at your fingertips! The Nine Nether Palace that you fear now like a snake and a scorpion can be destroyed with a flip of your hand!
What are you still hesitating about?"
Ye Shuo shook his head in pain: "No... I don't want to become the Evil Emperor! I want to rely on my own strength!"
"That's not up to you." "Ye Shuo" snorted contemptuously, "Sooner or later, you will definitely become the Evil Emperor. And that day... is not far away -"
"Do you remember 'self-sleeping'? The power you used when you were in the Talisman Masters Guild's assessment is our real power. Look, you still need me after all--"
"As my last gift to you, when you encounter an enemy that you cannot deal with, use self-sleep." In the darkness, "Ye Shuo"'s figure retreated steadily, drifting away to an unknown place.
, "Sacrifice your soul to me, and I will provide you with the power you need——!"
This is the last voice he left here.
The next moment, Ye Shuo suddenly opened his eyes.
To be continued...
