A slight footsteps sounded behind Lan Ke. He smiled faintly and slowly turned around.
"Shan, you are here."
Looking at the already slightly haggard Lan Ke in front of him, Shan didn't know what to say at this moment. He could be sure that there was no other person here, although he had already been prepared to face a group of people.
"sit."
Shan frowned slightly. Lan Ke must have seen the scene here, so he felt a little shaken. They were not without feelings. After all, they were brothers who shared life and death for so many years, and he was older than himself. Many times, Shan treated Lan Ke as a big brother.
No matter who it is, when encountering such a scene where you have to attack the other party, you will be a little hesitant. After all, you have experienced so many things together.
Shan knew that Lan Ke was still a little merciful at the time. According to normal practice, Lan Ke should have killed himself at the moment he was captured forever, but he knew that Lan Ke was not such a person. When Lan Ke could sacrifice his life to save his teammates many times, he knew that Lan Ke was not such a person.
Not worried that Lan Ke would suddenly attack him, Shan just sat down as expected. Lan Ke also sat cross-legged in front of him, and smiled and took out a pot of wine and two simple porcelain bowls. Shan seemed to have an illusion that he seemed to be back when he first met Lan Ke.
At that time, two small bowls of wine were like this, and the two became brothers. After that, the number of people in their team increased, and there were some teammates who shared life and death, former governor and juren, but now only one of these brothers who once shared hardships and hardships with him was the only one who was alone.
“How long has it been since we drank together like this?”
A loud noise sounded, and only a crisp sound could be heard, Shan said:
“It’s been over six years.”
Lan Ke chuckled, picked up the porcelain bowl simply and stood in front of Shan. Seeing that Shan had not moved for a long time, he continued to speak:
"What? Are you worried about poisoning me in the wine?"
Although it was a wine poured from the same pot of wine, it was easier for monks to do some tricks.
Shan shook his head. He didn't think Lan Ke would poison this. However, Lan Ke's current performance made him hesitate. He was a little hesitant. After all, the two of them were still enemies.
The various situations I encountered before originally strengthened Shan’s inner beliefs, but seeing Lan Ke’s current performance, he hesitated a little.
He also raised the porcelain bowl neatly, and only heard a jingle sound. Both of them drank it all in one go, and it was Shan's turn to speak first:
"Do you have something to say?"
Hearing this, Lan Ke just chuckled, but Shan said nothing wrong. He had always wanted to say something, so he wanted to send the lieutenant bishop away and leave him alone.
"Do you know why I have to find the Netherworld?"
Shan tightened his eyebrows, his mouth slightly opened but no sound made.
"Because of the legend of the underworld, it is said that you can see dead people there, and it is said that you can bring you back from the dead."
"But there are very many possible fakes."
When Lan Ke heard this, he just smiled and shook his head, and continued to say:
"Shan, if you have the opportunity to revive a person who is extremely important to you, even if it is only one percent, no, one thousandth of a probability you will think about completing this, no matter what the price you will pay."
He did not continue to speak, Lan Ke did not talk about his past, and Shan himself never asked. He only knew that when he was only sixteen years old, he met Lan Ke, who was twenty-four years old. At that time, he was extremely lonely and seemed to have lost something extremely important. What he did was to encourage him, and he did not ask anything.
"I actually have a childhood sweetheart, I didn't expect it. We can say that we have been playing since we were young, do you know? When I learned later that she would be my fiancée, I didn't mention how happy I was. I really didn't feel so happy about the fact that pie fell from the sky."
"But God, he always seems unwilling to fulfill these wonderful things. I never thought that if I hadn't seen each other for a day, she would be separated from my gods forever. When I came to the door happily to propose marriage, I only saw the family lying in a pool of blood. The family's finances were looted, and these robbers were really doing everything they could."
Speaking of this, Lan Ke suddenly smiled bitterly. Shan only now understands why Lan Ke hated robbers so much, and it turns out that there is this factor.
"I poked my eyes blinded, hoping to keep her figure and smile in my memory forever. At the same time, I always remember how she looked when she died. This pain will always remain in my heart. Whenever I feel pain and cannot bear it, such a scene can always give me endless strength."
"You may not understand what it feels like when people who are together day and night suddenly leave themselves and are cruelly killed. Fortunately, I met you at that time, who was almost collapsed, resolute, brave and tenacious. We hit it off and got along, and from then on, I almost forgot the pain I had before."
"There are more and more friends later, and we are becoming more and more lively here. We were really happy during those days. Even if we endured the pain caused by practicing the Qi, we could not suppress this inner joy."
But Lan Ke did not explain the later incident in detail. Both of them knew that because of the Ming Ling Stone, the situation gradually became like this.
"Why didn't you say these things earlier?!"
But at this moment, Lan Ke shook his head:
"I know you, and you treat me as an elder brother from beginning to end. If I insist on going to the underworld, you will definitely stop me, even if you know these things."
"Shan, I know, I know too. These memories are just some phantoms of the past. Grasping the present is the most important thing. But sometimes, people have to live for some beliefs. If there is such an opportunity in front of me and I don't catch it, then I will really practice in vain."
After speaking, Lan Ke stood up and walked towards the Governor. He slowly turned around, and the corner of his mouth gently raised, and said:
"Shan. No matter what the outcome of this battle is, we will go on the originally established path. If you lose, I will kill the governor and everyone on your side."
Shan slowly stood up, and he felt the murderous aura released from Lan Ke's moment, what he said was true.
Perhaps when the two decided to be hostile, such an ending would be impossible to change for many reasons.
