Chapter 111 The turning point between life and death (7)
Xiao Yan's question seemed to bring back the painful and confusing memories of the remaining soul in the guzheng. The guzheng immediately trembled, and black air kept coming out of the guzheng body, and his voice became hoarse: "For so many years, I have been here
I have been waiting for hundreds of thousands of years in the dark hall, but no one has ever come to solve the confusion in my heart. How can I not complain? Today, I finally waited for someone to activate the mark of my soul, but it was you.
Why should such a low-level Dou Emperor with low cultivation level help me answer my questions?"
The series of questions obviously opened the gate of the painful memories of the remaining soul in the guzheng wider and wider. The black air in the guzheng became thicker, and countless crimson bloodshot threads appeared out of thin air on the guzheng's body. It was so red that it was shocking, and the voice coming out of it almost changed its tone.
: "I know you are just struggling to your death, but it's useless. What's the point of doing it when you know you can't do it? It's just a waste of each other's time."
"Or, you'd better suffer death." As if he felt that he had said enough today, the remaining soul in the guzheng began to become impatient. The white jade-like torso of the guzheng was already covered with cracks, and it seemed that it would collapse at any time, and then it
He faced Xiao Yan with the pressure of thunder, wanting to see if this low-level Dou Emperor could really solve his doubts or if he was deliberately trying to delay time.
If Xiao Yan's will is not firm enough and his face shows fear, then the remaining soul in the guzheng will firmly believe that Xiao Yan cannot find the answer to his confusion, and this power of thunder will take advantage of the situation to kill Xiao Yan.
"No wonder the resentment and anger of the remnant soul in Gu Zheng are so great. I have waited and waited for hundreds of thousands of years, waiting for someone to answer his questions, but no one has ever activated his soul mark; today I put it to him
His soul mark was activated, and he felt that his strength was too low, and he didn't believe that he could solve his doubts... This... should I say he is lucky or unlucky?" Xiao Yan shook his head.
Smiling bitterly, facing Guzheng Feng who was like a dark cloud, Qingyun said calmly, "If you haven't tried it, why do you think that I can't solve your confusion? If you don't give me a chance, you will also cut off your own chance. Could it be that you, senior, still can't solve your confusion?"
Do you want to wait any longer in this endless darkness?"
When Xiao Yan's last word fell, the downward pressure of the guzheng suddenly stopped at the top of Xiao Yan's head. As soon as the guzheng stopped, all the wind and waves ceased, and everything seemed to freeze at this moment.
Xiao Yan felt the coolness above his head and knew that his words had an effect, but he did not dare to act rashly, for fear that this madman-like remnant soul would go crazy again if he was stimulated by something.
Seeing that Xiao Yan passed his test, the voice of the remaining soul in the guzheng became slightly gentler: "You can still speak plausibly even when you are about to die. My boy, you have a good character. Okay, then I will give you a chance."
"Senior, please speak." Xiao Yan's spirit perked up, as if he suddenly saw a ray of light in the darkness.
"This starts from many, many years ago." The remaining soul in Guzheng fell into the long river of memories, with a sense of loneliness in his tone, "Back then, my talent was not outstanding. In the Dou Emperor Continent, I was just a stranger in the vast desert.
It’s just a grain of sand, and it’s the smallest and most inconspicuous one. Almost no one in the clan is willing to associate with me, which makes me feel very inferior.”
Hearing this, Xiao Yan was stunned. He didn't expect that the Dou Emperor who stood at the pinnacle was so unknown back then, but it was not difficult to tell from the voice of the remaining soul in his guzheng that his mood had begun to ease, but his tone was full of
Sad meaning.
"Because I am naturally fond of music, my weapon is not the common sword or hammer, but the extremely unconventional guzheng. At that time, everyone advised me to change weapons, because the guzheng's fighting skills are very few, or even almost non-existent.
You have to explore it yourself.”
"If I were an extremely talented person, I would be able to carve out a niche on my own no matter how unsophisticated I was. But I am not outstanding in the eyes of everyone, and using such an unsophisticated weapon would be tantamount to burying myself in a sea of people.
There was almost no hope in life, so those people became more distant from me, and I became more withdrawn, living with gloom all day long."

"Then senior, why didn't you listen to their advice and practice other weapons instead?" Xiao Yan couldn't help but ask.
Dou Di who use musical weapons are as rare as a rare thing in Dou Di Continent. The difficulty of this road is probably not as easy as founding a large sect.
"If it were you, between hobbies and going against your will on the path that others want you to take, how would you choose?" The remaining soul in Guzheng asked without answering.
"Hobby." Xiao Yan answered almost without thinking, so fast that even he was a little surprised. However, Xiao Yan has never been a person who goes against his will. He continued, "If you can't live for what you love, even if you achieve something,
I’m afraid it’s also very limited.”
The remnant soul in the guzheng looked at Xiao Yan, and there was a hint of relief in finding someone with the same path in his voice: "Isn't that it? However, I struggled painfully for a long time before insisting on my choice. You kid?
Better than me."
Xiao Yan smiled sheepishly and looked at the guzheng in front of him. Thinking of the hardships and sweat put in by this senior who persisted and finally stood at the top, he couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration in his heart.
"Then what happened next? After you became the Peak Fighting Emperor, did you begin to express your anger at your clan for neglecting you, but you were unable to vent your resentment because of your clan's ties and bloodline, so you were conflicted about how to deal with future conflicts with your clan?
"What's the relationship between them?" Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows quietly and guessed with some sympathy, thinking that this senior's temperament was a bit capricious, and it was very possible that he couldn't think about it because of this.
The remnant soul in the guzheng was silent for a while, and then continued: "There are indeed some. But they are connected by blood. Besides, if it weren't for their contempt, I wouldn't work hard. It can be said that their achievements are also behind my achievements. I
How can you be so angry and confused about something like this?"
"Then?" Xiao Yan blushed a little because he thought of judging a gentleman's heart with a villain's heart. He touched his nose awkwardly. He really couldn't guess what could have confused this senior for hundreds of thousands of years.
.
"Do you want to take some pills first?" Without answering Xiao Yan's question, the remaining soul in the guzheng suddenly said something irrelevant.
"Ah? Does this make sense?" Xiao Yan was stunned for a moment, spat out the blood that kept overflowing, and said with a wry smile, "If I can't answer your question for a while, the result will still be the same?"
"Are you planning to let me go?" But soon Xiao Yan seemed to have thought of something, and the corners of his eyes twitched rapidly, asking as if he had grasped a life-saving straw.
"You have a beautiful idea, but the rules cannot be changed." The remaining soul in the guzheng said calmly and in a very calm tone, instantly extinguishing Xiao Yan's hope, "I just think you are pleasing to the eye, and I'm afraid you won't be able to persist.
After listening to my story, it makes a big difference to you whether you take the elixir or not. One is that you may die now, the other is that you may die later. It’s up to you."
Until now, the remnant soul in the guzheng does not really believe that Xiao Yan can solve his confusion. After all, to him, Xiao Yan is like a child with low strength. What can he understand? It is not so much that Xiao Yan can solve his puzzle.
An opportunity, it would be more accurate to say that he was lonely for too long and wanted to find a listener. If Xiao Yan died now, he doesn't know how many years he would have to wait before he could see a person.
Xiao Yan shook his head with regret, and after trying to understand the meaning, he rolled his eyes, randomly grabbed a handful of pills, stuffed them into his mouth, chewed them a few times, and swallowed them casually.
"Young man has some skills." Feeling Xiao Yan's aura that was recovering quickly and becoming more stable, the remaining soul in the guzheng was slightly surprised before continuing.

"Just when I felt that life was gloomy and hopeless and even had thoughts of suicide, I met a person during an outing."
"A person who changed my life and gave me hope but also gave me endless confusion."
Gu Zheng's mood was a little agitated at first, but soon he calmed down while trying his best to suppress it.
Xiao Yan knew that the crux of the story was coming. If he couldn't grasp the key, his life would really be in danger today, so he quickly pricked up his ears and didn't even dare to blink.
.
"That is a true genius. He is extremely talented and has created the advanced fighting skills of the guzheng. In my opinion, in terms of his attainments in music and his fighting skills in melodies, this person is worthy of being the number one master in the Dou Di Continent.
, enough to make the world proud."
Talking about this person, Gu Zheng Li Remnant Soul's fanatical admiration was clearly revealed, but Xiao Yan keenly discovered that Gu Zheng Li Remnant Soul's words also contained a deep attachment to that talented senior.
"Is it possible that he has a homosexual relationship?" Xiao Yan murmured in his heart. If this is the case, in the Dou Di Continent where the concept of men and women is extremely traditional, it may really be a tragic love story.
"Is this where the knot in your heart comes from?" Xiao Yan looked at Gu Zheng with a strange look in his eyes.
The remnant soul in the guzheng did not notice that Xiao Yan was thinking wildly, and continued with self-deprecation and deep nostalgia in his tone: "Like me, he is also a person with a twists and turns. His life was rough, and he was neglected in his childhood.
When I grew up, my wife died and I had no disciples to fulfill my filial piety. Maybe he saw his shadow in me, so he approached me and said he wanted to teach me his skills."
Seeing the shadow of yourself in the past? It should be that in the entire Dou Emperor Continent, you are the only one who uses the guzheng as a weapon. Where can I find a disciple if I don't accept you as my disciple? Xiao Yan cursed in his heart.
"He took me away from the Yao Clan to wander around the world, and taught me all he had learned in his life. Because he was the only person in my life who made me feel warm and gave me direction for the future. Although he did not pay me the apprenticeship ceremony, he
In my heart, he is my master and my reborn parent, so I study very seriously for fear that he will be even a little disappointed in me."
