A group of people, who were still chatting and laughing happily, suddenly fell into a dead silence.
Guo'er held her father's arm and put her face on it, looking extremely sad.
Sikong Qi and Sikong Hong looked at each other and could only shake their heads and sigh secretly.
Zhang Hong's body trembled slightly, and even his facial muscles trembled.
Seeing this, Sikong Qiang smiled lightly and said, "Let's talk about this later. Let's go, is it time to eat? I'm a little hungry, hahaha..."
Then he looked at the other old men, and pointed at them one by one: "Don't think about eating for free, just go home. I don't have much rice at home!"
…
The majestic king of the west guard palace seems to have very little rice at home.
Looking at the table of food, Nie Heng wondered if this guy was Liang Shiqi's lost brother. He was so stingy that it was indescribable!
There were exactly four bowls of rice. Nie Heng, Zuo Hongbin, the palace king himself and his daughter all had one bowl each. If there were too many, they would not be served.
As for the meal, there is only a plate of peanuts, a bowl of vegetable soup, a bowl of cold folded ear root and a palm-sized grilled fish!
That's all!
"Eat, eat, eat!"
Sikong Qiang ate by himself, as if he was afraid that there would be leftovers and it would be wasted: "Eat quickly, eat more, waste is not good!"
Zuo Hongbin blinked, wondering if he were transformed into a dragon, would he still be able to see this order of food?
The chopsticks Nie Heng held were trembling a little, and he didn't know where to place his chopsticks.
"This man, from birth to death is a process!"
While eating, Sikong Qiang continued: "It's like rain falling. Once it hits the ground, you'll die! So what's important is not how you hit the ground, but what you saw and what you got before you hit the ground!"
What's the point?
Zuo Hongbin couldn't understand why Sikong Qiang suddenly said such a sentence, so he could only look at Nie Heng.
He thought Nie Heng would understand.
But Nie Heng didn't understand very well and asked, "Did the king say that the process is more important than the result?"
"No, no, no..." Sikong Qiang quickly denied it and said, "I haven't studied much, so maybe what I said is inaccurate. Don't get me wrong!"
At this point, he turned his head and looked at the fields outside the door.
"I'm saying that people are just like rainwater. They are destined to die when they are born! But what is the most important thing before death?"
"For Yu Yu, it means finding the right partner, having the right friends and tribesmen in the process of falling, and then falling together on the land they chose!"
"The earth where the rain falls is their home! They nourish this earth. If those who come after come come to this home, their home will be prosperous and lush!"
"What about people? Same thing!"
What's the point of this?
Nie Heng thought carefully and only two words came to mind: love and family!
Seeing that Nie Heng seemed thoughtful, Sikong Qiang smiled and said, "I'm still not good at talking, hahaha...eat, eat!"
Beside him, Guo'er picked up the bowl and started picking up vegetables.
She picked up a piece of fish and put it in her father's bowl.
Sikong Qiang turned around and smiled, his eyes full of love and joy: "You can eat too!"
Looking at them, Nie Heng felt that this feeling was really good.
So Nie Heng hoped that they could continue: "Your Majesty, I still want to know why you don't get rid of the sword energy in your body?"
This time, Sikong Qiang finally chose to answer: "I'm afraid of death! I refuse to take any more pills! But apart from the pills, the sword energy in my body is very strange. Even the brothers-in-law in the ethereal realm can't help me!"
So that’s it, he’s afraid of death!
Nie Heng knew that Ziwei's sword energy was extremely special. Once it penetrated into another person's body and remained, the sword energy would be like maggots attached to the bones, making it difficult to remove with spiritual power.
But if you use some suitable elixirs, it can still be eliminated.
Moreover, there are many kinds of these elixirs, and ordinary alchemists can also refine them.
Unfortunately, Sikong Qiang refused. He was afraid that there might be a big problem hidden in the elixir that he could not see any problems with, so he refused to take any more elixirs.
Apart from pills, it is really difficult to use spiritual power to get rid of this kind of sword energy!
At this time, Zuo Hongbin didn't know what he was thinking, but he actually asked: "Prince, are you afraid of death? Then you still choose the soul sacrifice array?"
"ah?"
Sikong Qiang finally put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hands, stood up and walked towards the door.
When he came to the door, he looked at the large paddy fields against the wind and smiled.
"If I didn't sacrifice my soul to the formation, this whole world might have been ruined! So I'm afraid of death. I'm afraid that no one will be able to perfectly control that formation after I die! After all, even I, who is in the West Guard Hall, has extremely high attainments in the formation.
It’s just me!”
At this point, he turned back, looked at Zuo Hongbin, and stretched out a finger: "Ten years, give me another ten years, even if I die in ten years, my remaining soul can still be a perfect landlord.
Formation! I will die when the time comes!"
Hearing this, when Zuo Hongbin looked at Sikong Qiang, there was unconcealable awe in his eyes!
The same is true for Nie Heng.
He knew that this king who was afraid of death was actually the real warrior!
And this incident also told Nie Heng another thing: Guoer actually trusted Hengtang, so when she saw her father refused to take other pills, she chose Hengtang!
Nie Heng also put down his bowls and chopsticks and walked behind Sikong Qiang.
Looking at the same paddy field, Nie Heng said: "If the sword energy is not removed from your body, you will not live for five years! Add to that the poison in your body, and you will not live for three months!"
Without turning around or looking back, Sikong Qiang said: "Although you are telling the truth, can you not be so serious? Can you be more tactful?"
On the other side, Guoer suddenly put down his bowls and chopsticks, ran forward and hugged his father from behind.
She was crying: "Father, didn't you say there are at least ten years left? How come there are only three months? Guo'er, don't be like this..."
It turned out that he had deceived Guoer before, but now he was exposed by Nie Heng unintentionally.
Poor father!
Is he thinking that his daughter is about to go far away, so he wants to comfort her and make her less sad when she leaves?
With such a father, such a daughter and such a king, Nie Heng really couldn't find any reason not to save them.
So Nie Heng cupped his fists and said: "You are afraid of elixirs. I can remove the sword energy from your body without elixirs! In addition, I can remove the poison from your body for you!"
Still didn't look back, but Sikong Qiang's body still trembled faintly for a short time.
Immediately afterwards, his words were a bit cold: "You come here for a purpose! Tell me, if I accept your help, what price will you ask me to pay?"
He is indeed no ordinary person!
Nie Heng had his suspicions when he followed Sikong Hong to the West Guard Hall.
Hearing what he said, Nie Heng smiled lightly and said, "I really don't need you to do anything for me right now!"
Sikong Qiang lowered his head: "Boy, if this is really the case, I would like to say thank you first! But... I refuse to accept your help! Because..."
Having said this, he slowly turned around and looked at Nie Heng resolutely: "Because you are a factor that threatens the safety of the world, you and the Xuanjian Sect must be eradicated!"
What?
Zuo Hongbin stood up immediately, fighting spirit blazing in his body!
Nie Heng frowned, but secretly praised in his heart: What a loyal and brave fool!
