Gong Xiqiu: "After all, he is a fifteenth-level junior who has reached the pinnacle. He is only one step away from breaking through, so he will not die so easily."
Jimo Can's white eyes became more and more obvious.
"Then why don't you just cut off his head while he is unable to resist? Do you want to wait for him to break free?"
Gong Xiqiu: "..."
This is very reasonable.
Until he cut off the eyesore head with his own hands, Gong Xiqiu still had an unreal feeling like a dream... Is Tang Guo really dead? This seemed a bit too easy and abrupt. But the head was in his hands, so it couldn't be an illusion.
"Is he... really dead?"
Jimo Can said: "Yeah."
"Is it really dead?"
Jimo Can was rarely patient: "Yeah."
Gong Xiqiu raised his arms and laughed while holding the head.
"He's so dead!"
Went around in circles to celebrate.
"Big revenge must be avenged! Hahahaha——"
After laughing for a long time, I realized that I was the only one laughing.
"Why don't you smile?"
Jimo Can asked back: "Why should I giggle?"
Gong Xiqiu: "..."
Is this really the husband I chose?
Don’t they all say that the high priest is the person favored by the gods?
Is this the aesthetic value of gods?
A mouthful of old blood choked his throat, and his joy faded a little, but it didn't matter. Jimo Can didn't know how to celebrate. He could share the news with his uncle and the others. He killed the three masterminds of the Pig King and killed Tang Guo, the executioner...
It's also a relief to them.
However, before Gong Xiqiu could speak, their figures began to disappear upward from their feet, and Gong Xiqiu hurriedly rushed forward.
"uncle--"
What he got in return was a pat on the head from his uncle.
"Our A-Nian has grown up successfully."
These words directly made Gong Xiqiu's eyes turn red quickly, and tears burst out. Jimo Can only watched this scene coldly.
Regardless of him or these heroic spirits from the Gongxi tribe who are still obsessed with it, their goal today has never been to kill Tang Guo.
It's just that the elders stepped in and allowed the wronged junior to vent their grievances over the years, completely remove the burden of genocide, and stride towards the future with head held high. His life is no longer in the past. As for Tang Guo? His life is just harvested by the way.
"Uncle and the others——"
Gong Xiqiu looked at Jimo Can as if asking for help.
Jimo Can said: "The obsession has disappeared, don't force it to stay."
As he spoke, the high priest's attire completely faded away.
"Then can you requiem their souls and send them back to the embrace of the gods?" Gong Xiqiu's tone was a little cautious.
If he could, he would send his elders off to a new life with a smile.
When Jimo Can heard the word "Requiem", his expression was strange and helpless. He didn't say no, but he didn't say yes either: "Come with me - I just said, if you take off Tang Guo's head, I will tell you."
All the truth. But if you say yes, don’t regret it.”
Gong Xiqiu cheered up.
I looked back at the place where the elder disappeared.
"You said so, how could I regret it?"
The movement in Chengkang Temple had alerted the guards of the capital, and Gong Xiqiu and Jimo Can left this place of right and wrong immediately.
Then, in a secluded rural wooden house, he saw the person Jimo Can asked him to see, but this person——
Gong Xiqiu looked at Jimo Can, and then at "Jimo Can" who was lying on the bed with his eyes closed and his complexion deathly pale. His expression showed a bit of panic, and he kept changing between the two. Strong uneasiness surged up.
In his heart, he pulled Jimo Can back.
The wooden door closed with a snap.
Jimo Can watched his stupid behavior silently.
"Didn't you say you don't regret it?"
Gong Xiqiu was angered by his indifferent inquiry.
"What's going on here!"
How come there are two Jimo Cans?
Jimo Can brushed Gong Xiqiu out of the way, pushed open the door, and stepped in. He didn't see anything strange about his other self in his expression. He stayed in the shadow of the room and looked back at Gong Xiqiu, who was standing in the light:
"I'll tell you now."
"I don't listen! I just don't listen!"
Jimo Can picked up a wooden stick.
He frowned and said, "Do you want to get a spanking?"
Gong Xiqiu breathed so hard that he didn't hold himself back to death.
Jimo Can sighed: "When should we start talking about this? It's too complicated, and I'm afraid your brain won't understand it. It's too simple, and I'm afraid you'll get it wrong. Whether you understand it or not,
Write it down carefully and think about it slowly."
Gong Xiqiu: "..."
"Although I call myself 'Jimo Can', in fact, I have not been qualified to have this surname for a long time." Jimo Can was a big thunder when he came up. "Many years ago, when your eldest brother was still there, I took over as the eldest brother.
The office of priest…”
"But I don't like it, but I don't know why I don't like it."
"It wasn't until I left the tribe and saw the chaos and cruelty outside that all the doubts in my mind were cleared, and I began to question the existence of gods." Ignoring Gong Xiqiu's expression of fear that his eyes were about to fall out, he continued, "The so-called
The high priest of the Gongxi tribe does the same boring, useless and meaningless thing every day, presiding over the weddings and funerals of the tribe, and mediating conflicts among the tribe..."
"How can it be boring, useless and meaningless?"
The high priest has been his dream since childhood!
Gong Xiqiu retorted unconvinced.
Jimo Can ignored it and asked: "Have you ever thought that there are gods in the world, so why don't they care about the sufferings of the people? Stars fell from the sky, and hundreds of countries in the world conquered for more than two hundred years, causing countless casualties. Why did the people deserve it? Why did the living beings suffer?
Did she listen?"
Gongxi Qiu was unconvinced: "Why should she listen? She is only trusted by the Gongxi clan, why should she care about those monsters outside who are causing random killings for the sake of human greed?"
Jimo Can asked again: "Since you have been worshiped and worshiped by the Gongxi clan for so many years, why did you exterminate the clan?"
Gong Xiqiu was choked.
Jimo Can softened his expression: "...Since then, I have begun to doubt the existence of God. Even if she does exist, the Gongxi clan has a way to save the world - the Wu Gu disaster back then was only one step away from the unification of the mainland.
, we are still just a little bit away from being able to truly unify, proving that this road can be taken, but if we can avoid which step we took wrongly, we may be able to achieve our goal! In this case, why do we have to live in one place, singing or dancing all day long?
, jumping up and down like a wild monkey?"
Gong Xiqiu blinked and couldn't answer.
He doesn't think there's anything wrong with singing and dancing all day long.
If the mainland is unified, what does it matter to their clan?
Isn't the source of the disaster of genocide the result of the greed and greed of these demons and demons from the outside world, who have allowed the whole clan to accompany them?
Isn’t this why our ancestors were convicted and exiled?
The Gongxi clan is originally a reclusive clan.
Why don’t the reclusive clan live in seclusion?
What came to his mind: "But the high priest..."
The high priest's divine power comes from faith.
Jimo Can's belief has been shaken, which is not good.
But what he didn't expect was that Jimo Can was not just shaken, but more serious: "After I returned to my clan, I suppressed my doubts until something happened that made me completely determined. You should know that you have an older brother.
Bar?"
"Yeah. I know."
Jimo Can's eyes were filled with nostalgia: "When he was six years old, he was sent to the altar to test his qualifications. He was fine when he went there, but something happened when he came back. I went to question the old priest, but I couldn't accept his answer...
…”
This was the first time Gong Xiqiu heard about the cause of his brother's death.
"What answer?"
Jimo Can said: "The gods are very happy."
To put it simply, I liked him so much that I took away his soul and became a walking zombie without a soul.
Is this an evil god?
Other tribesmen actually came to congratulate him.
He just felt ridiculous and disgusting.
But he could not vent his anger to his clansmen. On a rainy night, he resolutely changed his clan clothes, crossed out his name in the family tree, and chose to leave without looking back. He would find a way to make the world's creatures truly happy.
Instead of being addicted to this false happiness and becoming a pleasure-seeking existence in the eyes of evil gods like the people of the tribe.
Jimo Can sighed again: "The moment I stepped out of the clan, the little remaining divine power completely dissipated, leaving only Dan Mansion Wenxin and Wenqi. Your mother even chased after me. I took her to travel everywhere.
, trying to find a way.”
In the middle of the journey, there was a feud with Gong Xi.
He then asked his wife to return to the clan to rest in peace.
We kept in touch through letters and only occasionally reunited.
He wanted to start his own plan, but was hindered by some unexpected events. In addition, he accidentally discovered that various countries were secretly investigating Wu Guo's evil. According to this situation, sooner or later, the Gongxi clan would be found. He could only divide
Chu Xinshen secretly stopped it.
All of a sudden, many years were wasted.
All calculations fail to calculate the human heart - in the face of huge interests, people can trample on all bottom lines.
"...When I received the news of the Geng Kingdom's attack and rushed back, everything was too late..." At this time, he began to understand why his ancestors resolutely avoided the world and settled in a corner, because they were completely disappointed after seeing the greed and ugliness of people's hearts.
.
"...At that moment, all the passionate ideals, saving the world and saving the common people, all became a joke." Jimo Can looked at Gong Xi Qiu and said, "When I saw you lying lifeless on the altar, I painfully realized
I'm not qualified to save you."
The voodoo lives and dies together with its host.
Even though this Gu insect has strong vitality, but the host is dead, it is powerless and cannot exert its expected effect at all.
Unless a high priest feeds it with divine power.
He said: "...The high priest who was once able to preside over various sacrifices skillfully is right in front of you, but I can't do anything to save you... I can't save you! I gave up my faith! The gods also gave up on me! The result is that I want to
Losing you!"
Gong Xiqiu said blankly: "But I saw..."
It was indeed Jimo Can, who was dressed in priestly attire, who saved him, and he indeed saved his own life. He couldn't lie.
"Because your uncle and the others..."
"Uncle and the others? But they were already..."
Jimo Can said: "I gave up my faith, but they didn't. They were not put to rest, so naturally their obsessions are hard to get rid of. The gathered obsessions and beliefs formed a bridge for me to communicate with the gods. I confessed to her, hoping to survive.
Worth a life."
Gong Xiqiu was shocked all over.
"A life is worth a life?" His pupils trembled, and his eyes uncontrollably fell on the lifeless corpse, "But..."
"It is only fair that one life is worth one life. A-Nian, if there is this opportunity, not only I will not hesitate to exchange it, but also everyone who loves you will do the same. This opportunity is also prayed for by all the clan members!
"
As a high priest who betrayed the gods, Jimo Can only hoped that Gong Xiqiu could live, and did not dare to have extravagant hopes.
But the final result was beyond expectations.
After the sacrificial ceremony ended, he found that he was still alive, and then a piece of information automatically appeared in his mind——
In fact, Gong Xiqiu had already cooled down, and his soul was tainted with an aura that did not belong to the world of the world. If he were to bring it back by force, it would definitely hurt his roots. So a restraint was imposed on him. When this restraint breaks, it is when Jimo Can fulfills his promise.
.
Before that, you can take care of Gong Xiqiu when he grows up, so that he will not waste his life and the heart of a loving father.
This god——
The generosity is a bit surprising.
Jimo Can thought that the other party would refuse the family's prayers, or reluctantly agree, but directly take his life away. He didn't expect that he could live for a while longer. As a result, he would live for more than ten years. Just wipe the butt of this bad son.
!
"Do you know? You can really cause trouble! It has made me suspect countless times that the gods are actually not well-intentioned, and they use blunt knives to grind my flesh to punish me. Raising a son is still a son who is not very smart and can get into trouble. He is more laborious than before hosting sacrifices.
pain."
Gong Xiqiu: "..."
The originally sad and touching atmosphere was completely washed away by Jimo Can's complaints.
He doesn't cry, nor does he get angry.
He was about to cry.
Tiaojiao scolded: "It's easier than you!"
Is this really his biological father?
"Are you still raising me? Have I seen you before?" We finally met, and this guy still had a sinister look. He opened and shut his mouth in a strange manner. Gong Xiqiu almost fell out at that time. The most important thing was,
"Why don't you stop me from taking revenge?"
If he hadn't lost control of his anger and fought against Tang Guo, he wouldn't have remembered the lost memory at all. Naturally, Jimo Can wouldn't have to fulfill the exchange with the gods. Gong Xiqiu didn't believe that the other party didn't know this, so why didn't he stop him?
Jimo Can said: "I stopped you."
Gong Xiqiu was so choked that he couldn't speak. The other party actually tried to stop him, but he was so absorbed in the joy of finding his enemy that he could only think about tearing off his enemy's head and burying it with his whole family. He said helplessly: "You were then
...You should tell me the truth... As long as it is what you say, I will definitely believe it! As long as you can live, I would rather call myself the Alchemy Mansion and never use martial arts for the rest of my life..."
As long as I can't remember it for the rest of my life...
Jimo Can can live forever.
"I thought you were my brother at that time. Even if we didn't have a good relationship, you were... my only... my only blood relative in the world. I couldn't possibly kill you for revenge!" Why did it get to this point?
He just learned the truth!
I just found out that my biological father is still alive...
As a result, he died as soon as he turned around.
Compared with Gong Xiqiu, whose face was full of tears, crying as if his father had died, Jimo Can's expression was as calm as if his enemy was flying to the west. He just said to his son lightly: "I have said that you are the only one in the world.
Such a blood relative?"
Gong Xiqiu was so shocked by these words that he stopped crying and hiccupped uncontrollably. His expression was horrified and twisted, and he accused: "You, you, you - you actually betrayed my mother to find a second wife? Do you still remember the clan?
Training? You, you, you are not a man!"
Jimo Can's face was dark, and he wanted to beat Gong Xiqiu on the butt with a stick. It would be better to hit Gong Xiqiu with a few sticks to make him bloom. He gritted his teeth and said: "...You are still looking for trouble with me before you die!"
Who said you were looking for a second room?
This guy is so open-minded that he deserves a beating.
Gong Xiqiu was sad again - his father died, and even after he died, he told himself that he had a half-brother and sister, or maybe there was more than one, and he was not allowed to tell him. It's a pity that my mother's love was wrong! Then, Gong Xiqiu
Really beaten.
Jimo Can's current form was just a spiritual avatar condensed with literary energy. It was far less stable than his physical body, and his emotions would dissipate at a faster pace. But he couldn't help it!
He cursed loudly and vigorously, and his head was bloody.
Finally, be at peace.
Said: "Your eldest brother may still be alive."
Gong Xiqiu was shocked: "Brother? Is he still alive?"
Jimo Can calmed down his mind. He had to hold on until he finished his last words, so as not to worry about his death and be recited by Gong Xiqiu: "Yes, he should still be alive. After he lost his mind, he has been taken care of by his tribe, but there are always people who can't take care of him.
At that time. In addition, something unpleasant happened in the clan at that time, and it was very chaotic. Since then, his whereabouts are unknown. I have been looking for him all these years."
"What... unpleasant things?"
"Nothing, the last high priest came here to seek bad luck."
Jimo Can said this in an understatement. It sounded like Gong Xi Qiu was struck by lightning. What does it mean that the last high priest came to seek bad luck? Isn't that senior already dead? If not, why didn't he come back and seek bad luck when he came back?
?
It's obviously someone who came with bad intentions.
Jimo Can smiled a little maliciously.
"You see, God's vision is not very good. Look at the candidates she has chosen for the high priest. Everyone is going crazy!"
He is a cruel person and even scolds himself.
Gong Xiqiu: "..."
Totally impossible to refute.
He seemed to understand why the old priest's face was wrinkled and sad, and he stabbed two high priests in the back!
"Your brother was lost at that time."
Gong Xiqiu asked: "How do you know he is not dead?"
Jimo Can had a strange expression.
"Don't you even look at the life lamp?"
Gong Xiqiu: "..."
The so-called life lamp is a long-lasting lamp that is lit by the high priest on the full moon after the tribe is born, using the breath of the baby as a guide. It is also the life lamp. The wind cannot blow it out, and the water cannot extinguish it. Once a person dies, the life lamp will be extinguished.
But why does he see this?
Jimo Can was once again disappointed with his son's brain: "There are still four life lamps burning, but now there are only three left. One for your brother, one for you, and one for the high priest. You said I don't recognize you, but
If you pay attention to the life lamp, you won't say that dad is dead."
Gong Xiqiu: "..."
The whole clan has been exterminated. What kind of life lamp is he looking for? Is there only one light on him when the whole cave is pitch black?
Jimo Can raised his eyebrows and asked, "So, it's my fault?"
Gong Xiqiu was confused when asked, with a pitiful expression.
He lowered his head: "No, it's my fault."
Jimo Can touched his son's dog's head... ah no, his head, it was a rare moment of tenderness: "If you know your mistakes and you can correct them, there is no greater good. It would be best if you can find your brother, and it doesn't matter if you can't find him. There is still a blood connection in this world.
, it’s also a blessing.”
He told Gong Xiqiu this just to give him something to think about to support him through the loneliest time.
Starting today, this child is really alone.
Jimo Can hugged his son, suppressed his emotions and laughed softly: "Smile, A-Nian, my father is going to a new life."
Looking at the other party's body that was gradually becoming transparent, Gong Xiqiu hugged back but did not dare to use force and held back tears: "Has the gods forgive you?"
"Yes, your uncle and the others are still waiting for your father to lead the way. When your earthly life is exhausted, they will come to pick you up with your mother-in-law. We will meet again then, but not too early. Smile more and think about the family motto.
"If you cry on this occasion, be careful with the old priest's wooden staff. Write down the rest of the instructions and put them in a box. Read it yourself." Jimo Can said, "Smile, A-Nian."
How could Gong Xiqiu still laugh?
But he still forced the corner of his mouth.
"Um!"
Gong Xiqiu was already familiar with the matter of handling corpses. Looking at Jimo Can with his eyes closed in the firelight, he still refused to believe that he was dead. He always felt that the other party would come out from somewhere and taunt him in a mean and sarcastic tone.
Own.
After packing away the ashes, he sat there all night holding the urn, feeling at a loss and not knowing where he was.
Next——
Where is he going?
He looked down at the urn warmed by his embrace.
He said in a hoarse voice: "Let's take you home for reunion."
In view of Jimo Can's unreliable character and his tendency to make nonsense and mean words, he was skeptical about Jimo Can's words of "getting forgiven". He thought, how could the gods like it?
It would be safer to send them back to their clan, pay sacrifices to the gods, manage relationships, be accommodating, and say good things...
Gong Xiqiu made up his mind.
At dawn, step on the morning dew and leave.
As for the Geng Kingdom losing King Sheng overnight, he didn't want to know what would happen to the two royal uncles of the clan and the country's stone pillar Tang Guo. The weaker the Geng Kingdom, the easier it would be to be annexed, and the people under its rule would get a chance to breathe. On the contrary, the two parties
If the forces are too close, they will only fall into a tug-of-war, and the common people will not be able to make a living.
As for Zheng Qiao's recruitment... is he worthy of a villain who has evil thoughts and evil ways?
——————
"Alas, business is not easy to do in this world..."
While resting in a teahouse on Gongxiqiu Road, I heard several businessmen at the next table sighing: "Your business is guaranteed to make a profit, but it's just how much you make. Why are you still sighing? You are like this, let me wait for a few
How do brothers deal with themselves?"
"Is there any business in this world that is guaranteed to make a profit? My brother almost lost everything on this trip and almost lost his life. Does Longwu County know? It's not peaceful!"
The merchants were still frightened when they talked about this incident.
It turned out that this merchant was in the business of smuggling salt and iron.
This business was left in the peaceful and prosperous times, and the entire household registration book would be beheaded, but in this chaotic era of war and chaos, the country is not safe, how can it take care of this? Some traders will grit their teeth and take risks driven by profit.
If you are lucky, you can make a lot of money.
This businessman is one of them.
The road of smuggling to foreign races is still the same, because the competition pressure is low and the profits are high. The disadvantage is that the risks are also high.
But he went to a pier and followed a senior salt seller when he was off the line. He could eat meat and drink some soup.
Unexpectedly, there was no news about the salt seller who had gone to Shiwuxi territory. He waited around in Longwu County and could not wait. The appointed time had already passed, and he knew in his heart that the other party was in danger.
He could only curse in his stomach that the Shiwu aliens were fierce and cunning, but they also cared about his goods. It happened that the border was not peaceful, so in order to save his life, he had no choice but to escape early.
After hearing the unfortunate merchant's experience, everyone sympathized.
Just as he was about to feel relieved, the merchant suddenly slapped the table, sweeping away his decadence and becoming energetic as if he had been given a shot of chicken blood.
"However, I heard some news on the way, which made me feel relieved! Do you know about the Shiwu Kings? Their king personally marched on the front line, hahaha, who knew there was a fire in the backyard! Even this messy Caotai team wants to covet our fertile soil? Bah!
!”
"There's a fire in the backyard?"
I'm glad to hear this.
Everyone asked what was going on.
Gong Xiqiu, who was about to serve the wine and ask his father if he wanted a sip from the urn, was also attracted to his attention and stretched out his ears.
The merchant stroked his long beard.
"If you want to know this, you need to start from a month ago!"
－－－－－－Digression－－－－－
(●'?'●)
Suddenly I feel liver pain...
It’s been a long time since my liver has grown so long, and the spores have grown a little bigger. She squeezes me when I sit for a long time...
PS: Ooooh, can you give me your monthly pass? Today is the 30th, and the current monthly pass is 7151, which is very close to 8,000???
PPPS: In the last two days, I can still have liver disease.
