Chapter 21 I waited for five years, just waiting for a breakup?
The sun is shining and the trees are green.
When Zhunti weakly opened his eyes again, he saw several white birds flying over the blue sky.
Wherever you look, everything seems to be full of vitality, making people yearn for it.
"This is?"
Looking at the scene in front of him, Zhunti had a look of futility in his eyes.
"woke up?"
Just when Zhunti was doubtful because of this long-lost environment, he heard words that were not so cold but tried to be warm, coming from the side.
He raised his head and saw a strange yet familiar face.
"Qinghe?"
Looking at the person in front of him, Zhunti shouted hesitantly.
"Yes, I saved you again."
Although I had already thought about being gentler, when the words came to my lips, they came out in a calm and slightly arrogant tone.
"Eat, this is freshly grilled fish. I've also prepared wine. It's a century-old wine that I bought specially."
"Thank you."
When he heard this, he looked at the slightly battered grilled fish that was handed over to him. His stomach growled and he took it smoothly.
"Let's have a drink first. This wine is good."
Looking at Zhunti's still pale face, Styx reminded him seemingly casually, but in fact, there was a trace of expectation in his eyes.
Although wine is good wine, it is not bought.
Instead, he spent the five years in Zhunti's coma searching for rare and exotic fruits and carefully brewing medicinal wine.
This wine can warm and nourish the body, allowing Zhunti's body to recover quickly.
But he, Styx, didn't bother to say these words.
"This wine tastes good."
As soon as the drink was in his mouth, Zhunti felt a trace of heat slowly pouring into all parts of his body, nourishing his internal organs.
"Of course it's good."
Having said this, Styx glanced at Zhunti cautiously and asked tentatively.
"Have you ever felt something was wrong with your body?"
"I felt it. The first time I woke up, I felt that my cultivation was gone and my body was suffering from tuberculosis and seven injuries."
Zhunti said calmly and took a bite of the grilled fish.
"What are you going to do next?"
Seeing that Zhunti's face didn't seem to be yelling because of his cultivation, Minghe felt slightly relieved and continued.
"It is no longer possible for your body to practice cultivation. Even if I help you find the resources for cultivation and enable you to embark on the path of cultivation again, you will not reach the peak of the past..."
"You want to persuade me to spend my remaining years here?"
Zhunti interrupted Styx.
"Yes, with me here, the Blood Lord's power will not discover you."
Styx, who had never been interrupted before, couldn't help but frown, but thinking that Zhunti had just experienced the tragic battle, he still spoke in a gentle tone.
"I have killed that Blood Shadow God General for you. I have also avenged the brothers outside the city..."
"Were you always there during that battle?"
Zhunti put down the grilled fish in his hand and looked at the Styx calmly.
"Are you trying to say why I didn't take action earlier?"
Under Zhunti's gaze, Styx's heart panicked for no reason, and he quickly asked.
But as soon as he finished speaking, he saw Zhunti lowering his head in silence and silently starting to eat grilled fish.
Calm, still calm.
But this kind of scene, when it fell into Styx's eyes, made him frown, and he began to feel an inexplicable irritability in his heart.
In this irritation, Styx's mind couldn't help but think of those figures in the city shouting loudly that our monks should not be afraid of death.
I thought of the people who risked their lives with the Blood Shadow Army to protect the lives in the city from escaping.
I thought of bloody battles, with figures shedding blood and tears amidst the roars...
These countless figures, like pieces of rocks, appeared in his mind at this moment, making Styx's heart become heavier and heavier.
In this heaviness, he hoped that Zhunti in front of him would roar at him again, or even punch him like before.
But these...
Nothing happened.
Some are just silently eating fish, and some are just complaints in the heart that continue to grow, get stuck together, and then explode.
"It's not that I don't want to take action, it's just that I want to arrange a large formation in secret to help the creatures in the city move."
After a while, Styx spoke. Seeing that Zhunti was still eating fish, he couldn't help but continue to defend.
"The Blood Shadow Army is too strong. There are too many of them. It's not that I don't want to save, I just need a strategic rescue. Only by setting up the trap first can I, can I..."
"This fish is good, but a little burnt."
Just as Styx was making excuses, a soft voice suddenly came from Zhunti's mouth.
As soon as he said these words, Styx was stunned for a moment, and then an unknown inner fire burst out from the emotions that had been squeezed for a long time.
"Are you listening to me? I am discussing with you whether the fish is burnt or not?"
"What if?"
Zhunti raised his head, looked at the Styx, and said calmly.
"Eat fish, it's getting cold."
"Eat, eat, eat, you know how to eat. If you have any grievances or hatreds, just say them out and don't hold them in like this?"
The stone in his heart caused Styx to explode, and he suddenly stood up.
"You know how to be a hero, but do you think that all the creatures in this world are as unafraid of death as you are?
Yes, I am afraid of death.
But I spent nearly a hundred trump cards to cover the escape of the creatures in the city.
I am afraid of death, but I have done what you cannot.
In fact, even your life was saved by me.
Twice, twice, who else in the world can live to save your Blood Bodhisattva twice.
Do you all blame me just because I didn't stand up to you? What's wrong with me?
Why do you all have to look at me like this?"
"Qinghe, you saved me, I'm very grateful, but..."
As he spoke these words, Zhunti's eyes once again looked at the furious Styx.
"But our ways are different. After eating this fish, you and I will go our separate ways."
"Do you know what you're talking about?"
Styx's expression suddenly darkened, and a monstrous murderous intention brewed in his heart.
"For those stupid creatures, you have to..."
"Shut up, they are my brothers who share life and death."
Zhunti once again interrupted Styx.
"Brother, they are your brothers who share life and death, so who am I who saved you twice?"
Styx wanted to open his mouth to question, but as soon as the words came to his lips, he suppressed them back.
"Okay, let's go our separate ways. Without me, I'll see how long you can survive."
As these words fell, the Styx immediately roared into existence, roaring towards the distant sky.
"This wine is mine."
But just when Styx's escaping light was about to dissipate, a cold word suddenly came, shattering the wine bottle in Zhunti's hand.
The fish was not destroyed.
Because Zhunti had almost finished eating, it seemed that he was not generous enough for that tiny bit of fish.
Boom!
As the bottle breaks, the wine falls into the flames, which sway and then rise crazily.
Although this fire is getting hotter and hotter.
But the sky at this moment is very cold.
"Bastard, bastard, bastard... If you don't have me, who are you? What are you, Blood Bodhi? You'd have died a long time ago, or you'd have died twice."
Thousands of miles away, the escaping light of the Styx fell on a mountain range, hammering the rocks crazily.
"That's fine, I want to see how you, the reckless people, would live without me."
After the ground was covered with rocks and dust, Styx took a deep breath and disappeared into the forest.
...
"I'm sorry, Qinghe."
In front of the bonfire, watching the figure disappear in the sky, Zhunti slowly sat cross-legged next to Lieyan in silence.
Perhaps because of the medicinal wine previously, the blazing flames were filled with a blood-red color at this moment.
Just like the blood red from the previous battles.
"You said you wanted to live well, so...I can't let you die because of me."
As this thought emerged, Zhunti closed his eyes and began to practice according to the techniques in his memory.
Pfft...
But after a while, Zhunti's pale face turned red, and a mouthful of blood spurted out from his mouth.
"Can't you practice anymore?"
While his face turned pale due to vomiting blood, Zhunti slowly opened his eyes, looked at the bonfire in front of him that was gradually losing its heat, and slowly exhaled a breath of filthy air.
"In the past, Uncle Luo also said that my supreme body was destroyed, but I can still practice. Now the situation is just more serious."
Thinking of this, Zhunti's eyes became firm again.
He made a promise to himself, to the deceased Uncle Luo, to the brothers who followed him, and to the children with innocent eyes.
He promised...
Therefore, no matter how difficult the road ahead is, Blood Bodhi will continue on.
Go until the paradise that can protect all sentient beings in heaven and earth appears.
"Pfft..."
But after a while, Zhunti vomited blood again from his mouth.
The blood was even mixed with pieces of minced meat, causing him to faint completely.
"Knowing that you can't do something but insisting on doing it is stupid."
When Zhunti's breath became weaker and weaker, a cyan figure emerged from it with ripples.
That was the Styx that had left before.
"Your life was saved by me. I have tried every means to save it in the past five years. Without my permission, you cannot die."
As these words emerged, Styx glanced at the unconscious Zhunti with cold eyes, and then injected the original power into Zhunti's body.
After all this was done, Styx's body disappeared in front of the bonfire again.
At night, with the bright moon in the sky, there was a cold wind blowing against my face.
In the increasingly cold night, Zhunti's brows moved and he gradually woke up.
"I owe you another life."
Looking at the already cold grilled fish left in front of the campfire, Zhunti slowly got up with a wry smile, picked it up, and began to swallow it carefully.
