"...Okay, even if I believe everything you say, why are you obsessed with becoming a new god?" Zhang Ke said puzzledly, "I don't know if Ye Suling's description subjectively beautified you or something else.
For some reason, to be honest, I always feel that you are completely different from the melancholic and rebellious but kind-hearted Yuan Qiushi that I originally remembered."
Hearing this sentence, Yuan Qiushi's face suddenly darkened, but if you look carefully, you will find that his eyebrows are filled with loneliness and helplessness, as well as some deep regret:
"Yeah, I'm not the same person I used to be. I've noticed this myself - after that day, everything changed. There's no going back. My life, my family, my body.
And the people I... care about have all been abandoned by my own hands... or destroyed."
"Although I didn't fully understand, but...you seem to be regretting it?" Zhang Ke asked tentatively.
"Yes, I regret it very much." Yuan Qiushi admitted it very readily this time, "I regret that I was young and impulsive at the time and failed to find a better solution, which led to a series of tragedies. But now
I want to make up for it, but it is too late - unless I can get the power to transcend mortals, reverse time, reshape the world, and start over again."
"...Is this the reason why you study the "Blue Sky Revealed Secret Record" and the Lingtai Kongming Cauldron?" Zhang Ke seemed to understand, "I see, no matter how absurd this reason sounds, it is your only hope.
and sustenance.”
"This is not absurd! Don't you understand that they are real and have been confirmed to be effective!" Yuan Qiushi suddenly said angrily, "If you don't believe it, there is no need for me to tell you this, but
It’s just that ordinary people can’t understand it. Besides, you can’t spread this information.”
Hearing the vicious tone of the last half of the sentence, Zhang Ke suddenly realized something. He understood that the other party had finished speaking and was about to take action, so he quickly jumped towards the window and wanted to leave the ruins.
However, what he didn't notice was Yuan Qiushi's chilling sneer behind him.
"Goodbye, my sacrifice."
He didn't throw a giant hammer at Zhang Ke's back, nor did he immediately start to catch up. Instead, he walked slowly to a dilapidated low wall, pushed aside the accumulated wooden boards on the ground with one foot, and then stepped on it.
On a slightly floating floor.
Hearing a click, Zhang Ke just jumped out of the window and landed on the dirt, but suddenly felt that his feet were empty and he had no support for an instant.
In a hurry, he looked down, only to find that the land under his feet was originally just two overlapping partitions extending downward. The top was covered with a layer of soil and weeds, and now it was opening downwards.
And as he hurriedly jumped out of the window, he had nothing to rely on at the moment, so he immediately fell down, and finally realized what the so-called "hard to fly with wings" meant.
"Just stay inside and wait until the day I become a god -"
Falling into the dusty underground chamber, Zhang Ke raised his head and the last thing he saw was Yuan Qiushi's proud smile accompanied by the moonlight.
"Tsk...it hurts. Although the straight-line fall is not that big, the ground is too hard." Zhang Ke touched his sore buttocks and was about to stand up, but suddenly found that his
My legs and feet became a little numb.
Fortunately, there were dim lights in the basement, so it was not completely dark. Zhang Ke quickly used the light of the fire and found that his legs seemed to have been severely sprained during the fall. The redness and swelling were obvious, and some of the skin was damaged.
trauma.
But the strange thing is that if a sprain of this degree was normal, there should have been obvious stinging and labor pains. Why do I only feel numb now and only feel it when I squeeze it with my fingers?
Slightly dull swelling and pain?
Could it be that the nerve was broken? It's unlikely. How can the nerve be broken first before the leg is broken? How can the nerve be cut through the flesh without being cut by a sharp object such as a knife?
Just when Zhang Kezheng was feeling strange, he suddenly heard another person's breathing coming from the darkness. It sounded a bit urgent, like he was talking but it was very vague.
"Who?" Zhang Ke asked alertly, but then he realized that it was probably someone else who was imprisoned here by Yuan Qiushi.
He picked up a long-lit lamp hanging on the wall and walked slowly in the direction of the sound. However, due to his injured feet and dull sense of touch, he could only move in small steps.
Along the way, he also used the faint candlelight to roughly see the surrounding structure. This seemed to be an ancient dungeon of some age. The place where he landed just now was probably the corridor in the dungeon, so there were many items on display on both sides.
Everlasting lamp.
The wooden prison doors have all rotted away due to moisture and disrepair, leaving only bare wooden piles lower than the fence. However, the earthen walls made of stone bricks are still strong, and there are many shocking things on them.
The rust-colored traces - they are probably the blood that has not faded away after hundreds of years.
I heard Ye Suling say before that the Qingtian Sect is a cult that even sacrifices living people. The people who were once imprisoned in this dungeon are more likely to be sacrifices captured by them than criminals, right?
Having said that, when Yuan Qiushi left her behind, she also sneered and called herself a sacrifice. I'm afraid it's not a coincidence.
Finally arriving at the place where the gasping sound was, Zhang Ke raised the candle and saw clearly the appearance of the person in front of him, but he couldn't help being startled - it turned out to be Ye Suling! But it made sense after thinking about it carefully.
From the beginning, I guessed that Ye Suling would come to Chun Shen Ruins.
But her hands were tied with chains and hung from the ceiling, and her mouth was tightly sealed with gauze.
"Wait a minute, I'll let you down!" Zhang Ke quickly placed the ever-burning lamp on the ground and reluctantly stood up on tiptoes. Due to the pressure on the sprained joint, the dull pain instantly turned into a strong stinging pain.
He couldn't help grinning, but he still resisted and saw clearly the knotting and structure of the iron chain, twisting and untying it bit by bit.
Fortunately, Yuan Qiushi did not lock the iron chain, so it only took another person to patiently untie a few knots. After about ten minutes, the iron chain entangled Ye Suling's hands was completely untied. Zhang Ke hurriedly untied it.
She hugged him to the ground and took away the gauze from her mouth.
However, her wrists and fingers were severely worn due to being entangled with chains and hanging. There were also purple bruises under the skin, which was obviously a serious injury.
"You are... Zhang Ke? Why are you here?" Ye Suling shouted in surprise after seeing the other person's face clearly.
"Don't mention it, it was your little boyfriend who got you here." Zhang Ke couldn't help but smile helplessly, "What about you, how are you doing now? Are there any other injuries besides your hands?"
