Among the water balls in Mo Lake, there was a helplessly struggling figure floating, as well as many open empty elixir bottles around it.
"Another Zhan Dao corpse..."
After dealing with the gold-swallowing dragon, Xiao Kongtong followed his water ghost seniors.
Along the way, he had lost count of how many corpses he had seen.
Most of them are trial officers at the throne level, including those who kill Dao.
It seems that except for Taixu, no spiritual master can persist until this point under the increasingly terrifying power of the water polo's spiritual energy drain.
"Perhaps, this is the real Saint Slave..." Xiao Kongtong sighed silently.
In fact, he also kills, but as the senior brother of Shenyue Immortal City, he rarely kills those who are weaker than himself.
Firstly, this is too low-priced, and secondly, it is not easy for a spiritual master to grow up. If there is no way to take death, and if it is not the teacher's order, he laughs at Kongtong and disdains to take action and kills innocent people.
But now he was following the senior water ghost, killing dozens of corpses all the way to the deep sea and the throne. He could really see the dark side of the holy slave.
"The teacher gave me the task of Shenyue Immortal City. Although in the process of building the city and establishing the boundaries, I also killed many people in order to clear the obstacles.
"But at least, everyone who dies by my sword is of equal rank.
"I remember their names, and after they die, there are indeed their companions who remember their names and their past achievements.
"But these people under the deep sea died silently and silently.
"Really speaking, they are just cannon fodder who were sacrificed in advance in the battle for the great road."
Xiao Kongtong followed silently, with mixed feelings in his heart.
He knew that his teacher had been very kind to him. The tenth place where the Holy Slave was hidden seemed to have no status, but he retained his qualification to walk in the sun.
The past of people like Senior Water Ghost...
Xiao Kongtong looked at the back of the senior water ghost who was silently and calmly leading the way, and sighed in his heart.
He thought of how the nine Saint Slaves had escaped from being hunted down by the Holy Temple over the years.
The storyteller's power was that after being captured in the Central Territory, he fled all the way to the Eastern Territory, and finally returned to his teacher.
Come to think of it, the deaths of little people like these are already commonplace for the senior saint slaves, right?
Xiao Kongtong abandoned his distracting thoughts and stepped forward to keep up with the pace of the water ghost seniors. He wanted to get closer and ask why so many nameless people needed to die under the deep sea.
But it's so close...
For some reason, Xiao Kongtong felt that there was an extra gloominess about Senior Water Ghost.
Although this obviously could not be caused by the silent death of little people, Xiao Kongtong felt that the senior water ghost should have recalled some bad things in the past amidst these large numbers of deaths.
He kept silent and decided to be a bystander.
…
"Is this the dark side of the Saint Slave?"
After imitating the identity of a water ghost, Xu Xiaoshou accidentally encountered the Holy Slave's heart-warming methods for the first time under the deep sea.
The passing water balloons and the corpses floating in them were so miserable that it was beyond words to express.
This reminded him of the vigil.
After all, Shouye had just killed Dao, and the others had died so miserably, could Shouye be transcendent?
It's not like Xu Xiaoshou has never seen bloody killings.
When he was in the Eighth Palace, the Eight Masters beheaded seven hundred people in white clothes. When he was seeing Mr. Sang off, he saw with his own eyes that the seven hundred people in white clothes lay down without any resistance.
But the methods at that time and the current situation were completely different.
At that time, the seven hundred people in white clothes lay down without any pain. They were all killed with one strike. Even if they died, these hundreds of people never let out unnecessary screams.
The water polo under the deep sea is different. This is a spiritual refiner who died after his spiritual energy was drained alive. Their experiences before death, the meaning of death, everything in the past, and why they need to die...
Some of these things, Xu Xiaoshou can imagine, and some cannot be imagined at all.
But he knew that these were all the tricks of the water ghost.
And the water ghost can use these terrifying methods so calmly, it must be commonplace for him.
"So there are not so many reasons in this world. Sometimes when natural disasters and man-made disasters strike, everything you have now can be taken away without any explanation.
"The only thing the authorities can do is to work hard to become the person who can withstand the disaster of the sky falling.
"It's not easy to protect yourself, but it's even harder to protect others."
Xu Xiaoshou suddenly felt emotional.
He is no longer the young man he was at Tiansang Ling Palace. He will not fall into confusion just because he kills someone or sees a dead body without realizing it.
Although the water ghost's methods are terrifying, the only thing Xu Xiaoshou can think of at this time is his relatives and friends.
Just like he only wanted to protect the people on the first floor of the Lingque Fair, the further down the road, the more Xu Xiaoshou understood...
There are no saints in this world!
"Xiao Kongtong, have you ever seen a real battle between great avenues?" Xu Xiaoshou suddenly stopped in front of a water ball trapping a floating corpse, and asked thoughtfully.
Battle of avenues?
Senior Brother Shenyue Xiancheng who was following closely behind him was startled when he heard the sound. He subconsciously thought that this was not because Senior Water Ghost had never seen the world and was asking curious questions. Instead, the other party thought that he might be used to the light and not used to the dark world. Use your voice to enlighten.
I can’t tell that Senior Water Ghost is not only considerate and warm, but also as considerate as hair... Xiao Kongtong sighed with emotion, smiled slightly, nodded and said:
"Senior, there is no need to enlighten me. All the actions of the Holy Slave must be approved by the teacher. As a student, I will not have any doubts about what the teacher wants to do.
"As for the battle between avenues..."
He paused for a moment, then looked at another floating corpse in front of him, with a more serious look on his face: "If you really want to say it's miserable, who can be more miserable than the Lei clan? Those are the real innocents!"
Tears?
The silver-haired Lei Xier and her brother Lei Shuangxing flashed in Xu Xiaoshou's mind.
He turned back, his face changed, and he said calmly: "Are you also concerned about the affairs of the Lei family? What you want to get from Shenyue Immortal City and what I hold in my hands should be different. One is white and the other is black. Can you tell me about it?"
Xiao Kongtong did not doubt that he was there. He clicked his tongue a few times and sighed happily:
"It's so sad to cry twice. I originally thought that the teacher wanted to train him as his successor, so I had secretly investigated this kid's identity before. Unexpectedly, I didn't know if I didn't investigate. I was shocked when I did.
"The Lei family was in such a miserable state back then. After the death of the half-sage, there was no new saint for too long, so they were demoted to the Taixu family.
"Later, because the power of heavenly punishment controlled by the clan was too great, and the children's skills of the Lei family were amazingly powerful, they were envied by others, and if they tried to become a saint, they would definitely cause trouble, so they were afraid to be promoted.
"How can I imagine that for other aristocratic families, there is no saint to turn to to protect themselves, but for the Lei family, having a jade but not being able to protect it is the most important sin.
"No, the Dao clan, one of the five great holy emperor families, directly took away the power of the Lei clan by force after suppressing the Lei clan for many years.
"The power of heaven's punishment, the children's skills of the Lei family... all kinds of things, under the slightest excuse, the Dao clan crossed the border like a reckless army, and then wiped out the grass and roots, and the thousand-year-old Lei family was also burned to the ground.
"Sad, sad!"
Xiao Kongtong had a look of regret on his face, not caring about telling such a great secret in front of his own people.
In fact, in his eyes, Senior Water Ghost might know more than he does, so he won't tell any details about the Lei family's annihilation, only the things he found that point directly to the origin.
"Being frightened, passive value, +1."
Xu Xiaoshou's eyelids jumped wildly when he heard this.
Good guy, do you know this in detail?
He had heard about the tragedy of the Lei family, but when all the people gathered together, he only knew about the process of imitating the lake, and knew that there were injustices involved.
But I never thought that what was involved was the Holy Emperor and such a bloody struggle for authority!
"The Tao clan..."
Xu Xiaoshou was thoughtful and thought of the sky.
But he did not directly ask the five holy emperor families because it was not consistent with his identity as a water ghost. Since Xiao Kongtong was willing to say it, he didn't mind adding fuel to the fire.
For such secrets of the world, Xu Xiaoshou asked the Eight Masters, asked Sang Lao, and also asked too many other people in a circumstantial way.
But no matter how you ask, everyone's answer is that you are still young and your level is still low, so don't ask questions that shouldn't be asked.
Xu Xiaoshou was so curious.
At this moment, he finally found out the true role of Xiao Kongtong, the great bodyguard of Shenyue Fairy City. He immediately pulled strings and followed the clues, and then echoed:
"Indeed, the Tao clan and several other clans..."
I can't talk any more.
Xu Xiaoshou didn't know what kind of conclusion it would be better to end with.
Because he didn't know anything about the five great holy emperor families, and he didn't even know who among them was.
At the moment, he could only say "tsk tsk" twice, and ended his words with a meaningful smile. At the same time, he looked at Xiao Kongtong, his eyes indicating that I still have the patience to listen, and you can continue to talk to your senior water ghost.
Bitter water.
Xiao Kongtong couldn't get out of Senior Water Ghost's smile full of guiding power.
It is like a treasure chest filled with too many trivial parts. Once the lid is opened, someone will turn it over with their hands to pour something out.
Next, it was out of control...
"That's not the case!"
With a complaining tone, the Senior Brother of Shenyue Immortal City seemed to have thought of something from the "Dao Clan", and said with a look of resentment:
"The fifth family of the Holy Emperor, Huarao Road, Yuebei.
"If it weren't for this group of people sitting firmly on the top of the clouds, why would Taixu be afraid and dare not break through, and why would the Half-Saint be so depressed that he imprisoned himself?
"Others don't know, but I've figured it out over the years!
"In that battle outside the city where the teacher died, if the Holy Emperor hadn't intervened, how could Hua Sword Immortal be able to kill the Eighth Sword Immortal with three swords? This is simply unrealistic!"
Are there really different versions of the story?
Xu Xiaoshou's heart beat faster when he heard it, and he also had an angry look on his face. Even if his current mood was a little unsuitable for his status as a water ghost, he would insist on safeguarding Xiao Kongtong's right to freedom of speech:
"you are right!"
Xiao Kongtong became more and more excited as he spoke. He was immediately echoed and even used his hands, waving them around and continued:
"At that time, Hua Chang...well, Hua Jianxian had not yet become a saint, and the teacher was the first person under the semi-saint. No matter how bad he was, he would not lose to that guy in the way of swordsmanship.
"The talent of a teacher is once in a lifetime!
“If it weren’t for the Holy Emperor’s pressure from above, why would they have wasted decades to establish the Holy Slaves and gather the power of the Void Island to fight against this unequal suppression of power?
"What a pity..."
As soon as the words were spoken, Xiao Kongtong didn't know what he thought of, and fell into melancholy, unable to extricate himself for a long time.
Xu Xiaoshou seemed to have not been able to calm down from the message coming out of this big mouth.
The establishment of the Holy Slaves was originally to fight against the five great Holy Emperor families?
According to what the loud mouth of Shenyue Immortal City said, those five great holy emperor families are the "Yuebei Huarao Dao", right?
Tao, is Tao the sky?
Rao, is Rao Yaoyao?
Hua...well, the only one that can match it is the Seven Swords Fairy Hua Long Lantern.
The Holy Emperor helped Hua Changdeng to take action, so he won the Eight Masters?
Damn it, this is a bit insidious, even I have to fight for the injustice of Bazunzhen...
But this can indeed be regarded as consistent with Hua Changdeng's background and identity. He should undoubtedly be from the family of the Five Holy Emperors.
So, the remaining "moon" and "north"...
Who could it be?
Xu Xiaoshou has almost never heard of these two surnames.
He racked his brains to think about it, and finally recalled that about the surname "Bei", there might be only one of the ten people named "Bei Huai without tears, the sky is also sad" that could match it.
Beihuai?
I have never heard of his deeds...
So, what about "month"?
This time Xu Xiaoshou was even more confused.
He "perceives" a super strong memory, but in this life, it seems that he has never even met a person named "Yue".
"What's the pity?"
After Xu Xiaoshou came back to his senses, Xu Xiaoshou took over Xiao Kongtong's words and asked, "This big mouth from Shenyue Fairy City is so good. He really dares to say something! He doesn't shy away from it at all!"
Xiao Kongtong failed to notice something was wrong in time, shaking his head and still feeling melancholy:
"Senior, do you think the word 'love' in a person's life is really that mysterious? Even strong men like Teacher have not been able to come out..."
Well!
Xu Xiaoshou immediately froze.
By asking this question, you really got to the point where I am... upset!
In my two lifetimes, I have never had a serious relationship!
"You also... cough, you haven't dated a girlfriend yet... Bah, you haven't had a partner yet?" Xu Xiaoshou broke off his sentence in three sentences and forcibly swallowed the word "ye" that should have appeared in his words.
Xiao Kongtong's face turned red. When asked, he didn't pay attention to the details. His eyes wandered and he said: "I am obsessed with swordsmanship and don't care about the world of mortals. Therefore, love swordsmanship is my weakest skill..."
After a pause, as if he didn't have the nerve to linger on this question, Xiao Kongtong chose to change the subject.
"Teacher, love swordsmanship is strong, but success is also love swordsmanship, and failure is love swordsmanship. He shouldn't have joined the world at that time. Look at it, he really didn't come out!" He spread his hands.
Xu Xiaoshou looked strange.
Only then did his thoughts return to the topic.
I'm sorry, something happened to Bazun Zun, and is it related to a "woman"?
This is too... insider!
Xu Xiaoshou didn't know how to make such a judgment for a moment.
He had never heard even a few words from outsiders about the shadow of a woman in the battle with Hua Changdeng.
This really aroused his curiosity. (To be continued)
