Chapter 36 Is it worth it?
Chapter 36 Is it worth it?
(Friendly reminder: This chapter is a bit shocking, but I want to challenge "to say the black ones to white ones". Being knocked down by the lightning is nothing to do with me~)
"I didn't plan to ask you to be grateful to me. This is just a transaction. You and I are both people in the divine world. There is no need for me to say more about the great disasters of the gods."
"I naturally know the God-Bang Calamity. I was going to force you into this Calamity." Wu Ji continued casually, but she secretly hated Lu Pian and Khai Yaozi's cruelty.
The altar was originally a prop used to worship the sky. The witch girl was obsessed with it and did not understand the causes and consequences for a while. But just now, she found that she did not have the ability to stop the altar.
The return of the wild energy exceeded her expectations. At this moment, Lu Zhao cut off her connection with the strange space where the wild energy was, so she had the leisure to think about the consequences. Thinking that she might be sucked away by the strange space, the hatred for Lu Zong and the other two was deeper. In comparison, Lu Zhao took the risk to save her, which gave her heart an unprecedented feeling, warm.
"This Lu Zhao could not care about the current appearance of this palace and rescue him. It was actually done by a real man. If he could..."
Wu Ji is not an old woman. On the contrary, her heart is still a girl's heart. It's just that the desire for power and the desire for power have made her frozen that innocent state of mind deep in her heart. It is the dusty memory that Lu Zhao had read before.
"No, Wu Ji, how can you be qualified to love your current appearance? Don't have such unrealistic daydreaming..."
Having said that, Wu Ji still had a faint sense of helplessness in her heart, regret... This is the first time Wu Ji was shaken by her path to pursue strength. Is it worth sacrificing her appearance for strength?
Thousands of thoughts were in a flash. Wu Ji's state of mind was after a refinement when Lu Zhao peeked at that dusty memory. Although his heart was disturbed at this moment, he still calmed down slowly.
"Lu...Lu Zhao, what is the transaction you mentioned?"
"!?" Lu Zhao curled his lips. He didn't understand why Wu Ji stuttered when he spoke, and acted like a little girl. He had peeked at that memory and knew that Wu Ji was only in his teens. But whenever he saw Wu Ji's face, it was difficult for him to connect Wu Ji in front of him with the beautiful girl in the memory fragments.
Of course, when he saw Wu Ji with an ugly face and acting like a little girl, he naturally would not think that Wu Ji was shy. He would only think that Wu Ji was still struggling with the previous fight and could not lose face for a while.
Lu Zhao knew that he didn't have much time, so he stopped thinking about anything else and said, "I was born in this land and should protect it."
"Do you want me to protect this country for you? What a joke..." Wu Jidao, then laughed, but when she saw the word "serious" in Lu Zhao's eyes, she immediately put away her smile and refused seriously: "No matter what transaction, I cannot protect this country for you. Since ancient times, my gods in the underworld have never interfered in the order of the world. I cannot make an exception for you and destroy my own path."
"Wu Ji..." Lu Zhao took a step forward and wanted to continue persuading.
Wu Ji shook her hand and said, "Don't say anything more. I will also meet the mark of Meng Po, the former inheritor of the underworld in Dongsheng Shenzhou. I don't have time to help you see the child..." Speaking of this, Wu Ji seemed to notice an ambiguity in her words and hurriedly said, "Bao, bah... In short, I don't have time to waste in the world of the world."
"I understand, understand..." When he said this, Lu Zhao had goose bumps even more. He felt so panicked about Wu Ji's cuteness. It was obvious that Wu Ji's previous appearance still made him feel aggrieved.
Lu Zhao didn't want to think about Wu Ji's appearance anymore, so he hurriedly said, "If, I tell you, what if the land under your feet is the Nanzhan Continent?"
"What?!" Wu Ji said in shock, and most of the heart in her heart was shaken away.
"Do you know what the alias of the country I asked you to protect in ancient times?" Feeling that the atmosphere returned to normal, Lu Zhao chuckled and continued: "East, which is the east? It is the east of the Southern Continent! This is also the information I learned in the Shinto Mansion. Now I say it, I want to resolve the cause of the opposition between you and me."
Dongtu!
Wu Ji murmured and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that this palace has been riding a donkey for a donkey, but..."
Seeing that Wu Ji still wanted to refuse, Lu Zhao interrupted quickly and said, "Wu Ji, I am not asking you to protect the entire country, but I just hope you can temporarily suspend the sacrificial text in your hands. Although the human dragon energy vein has risen to heaven, it has become a certain fact that those people with the fate of gathering energy have been reincarnated in heaven, but I still hope to meet them and hope that you can bind the sacrificial text for a while."
Wu Ji nodded: "This is easy to deal with. It's just the time when the bondage sacrificial text is burning. I can accept you now. However, even if it's bound, the sacrificial text will still burn out after three days."
Speaking of this, Wu Ji's aura gradually became gentle, and there was a sense of negotiation in her words. This statement stopped, but it still surprised Lu Zhao.
"Lu Zhao, there is one thing, I want to ask you."
"speak!"
"As far as I know, your motherland is betrayed you, why do you still have to think about her when disaster strikes? Have you ever wondered if this is worth it?"
"I have always believed that gods are not cold clay statues. Gods have feelings and power to love and be loved. Therefore, for those who love me, I want to protect my home. The country is a relationship of lips and teeth. Without a country, there is no home. It is understandable that I contribute to the motherland. If everything is asked whether it is worth it, my heart will be blinded. If my heart is blinded by dust, how can the journey of the great way continue?"
A replied question made Wu Ji sigh in his heart that it was not accidental that Lu Zhao was able to cultivate to the current spiritual official realm with a mortal body. This theory of the original heart touched Wu Ji.
Wu Ji's eyes narrowed, she nodded solemnly, and said, "Your view of Shinto is quite novel, but then again, Lu Zhao, is it your true intention to repay grievances with virtue?"
"Not bad!" Lu Zhao nodded, and made a decision in his heart. He could not give up his motherland. Although some people in this country were defeated by him, his parents and sister still had to survive in this country, so he planned to take this opportunity to leave a good fate and a way out.
This words had a magical effect in Wu Ji's ears. Lu Zhao, who was outlined in her mind, immediately began to emit holy glory, and she accompanied Lu Zhao as a maid in white.
A little pink light of faith floated out of Wu Ji and flew into the blessed land of Lu Zhao's temple. Lu Zhao immediately noticed it and said to himself: "It's all OK? Why did you suddenly get the belief of a reincarnated spirit official? Judging from the color of this light of faith, pink, it was obvious that it was my tyrannical aura that erupted, causing a reincarnated spirit official to feel boundless admiration? But it wasn't right. I knew the strong man on the reincarnation path, and I didn't find a female reincarnated spirit official!"
At this time, Lu Zhao didn't know that the contributor to the light of faith was Wu Ji, but only knew that it was an attribute: the female reincarnated spirit official had faith in herself.
"Uh, look at what this inspirational picture is..."
Lu Zhao thought, and it was impossible to describe it in the dark. After the unfathomable waves, a picture full of texture appeared in front of him. In the picture, a girl danced in black hair, graceful figure, a chill all over her body, but her eyes were gentle.
"I don't know that I can be so handsome. Why does this girl look so familiar?"
"Think about it!"
“…”
"I'll just let me go. Isn't this the girl I peeked in the fragments deep in Wu Ji's memory? Could it be that I just revealed my true feelings and touched this old ***? But this Wu Ji, hey, my taste is not so heavy. If one day she still looks like herself, I would..."
"However, how did this Wu Ji's thinking change so quickly? Could it be that this Wu Ji was fooled by the way of heaven, so she wanted to disobey the original trajectory and reconcile with me? I can't tell that this Wu Ji is still very cute. Cute? Hissing... How could I say such words? Hell, although she is now wrapped in ice and has a hazy beauty, and she can't tell at all that she looked like she was corroded by the poison of the yellow spring, but..."
Lu Zhao didn't know why he secretly said "Wu Ji's cuteness". It might be because he was in a god-ridden disaster at this time. Or maybe he had sympathy for Wu Ji in his heart. The hateful people must have pitifulness. He had peeped into Wu Ji's inner world earlier and knew that Wu Ji had a pitiful life since childhood. He was in his prime and was also attracted by the god of the underworld (Meng Po) and chose the heir...
At least, Lu Zhao felt that Wu Ji had a pitiful side, so when the hatred in his heart disappeared, he was unwilling to fight with him again. It was precisely because Lu Zhao saw that Wu Ji had a desire for family in his heart that Lu Zhao would be the first person he thought of when his god-loss disaster was coming.
"It's all right. Since Wu Ji has feelings for me, for the sake of her own beauty, I don't care about her unrequited love. Anyway, the disaster will come soon..." For the sake of the health of her family, Lu Zhao didn't mind selling his own color. He wouldn't lose one or two meats anyway. "The information about the inheritance of the Dharma Realm left by Master said that the gods' prosperity is not easy to pass, and my life will fall back, and I may be trapped in this disaster. Wu Ji uses this light of faith to test the feelings. Then I will not receive it, it doesn't matter."
This is something Lu Zhao thought about it. I am afraid that even Wu Ji herself would not realize that her heart would be passed on to Lu Zhao in the form of the light of faith.
"Lu Zhao..."
Wu Ji's delicate body trembled and she looked up and was about to speak.
A loud shout interrupted her, and also interrupted Lu Zhao's thoughts and diverged: "Lu Zhao, you are so bold. With your superpowers, you wantonly destroy the sleeping place of our martyrs. Even Tianmen Square was destroyed by you. You are openly provoking the authority of the state."
The person who spoke was the acting leader of the garrison army, Political Commissar Li Zhong and Li. He just received the message from the helmsman of the Dong family in Beijing that Lu Zhao must be captured, otherwise no amount of the promised money would be transferred to his account. If it were normal, Li Zhong would not have taken risks, but now, he has the ambition to treason and become king, so he naturally would not give up the funds at will.
Therefore, even though he knew that Lu Zhao was in danger, even if he knew nothing about Lu Zhao, he had to bite the bullet and carry on.
Lu Zhao raised his head, looked at Li Zhong with interest, and then said, "Hey, who is that, my ears are not deaf, why are you so loud? Didn't you see me busy?" Lu Zhao said casually, turning to Wu Ji and said, "Wu Ji, this is my handwritten jade talisman. When the crow soul comes back, you can hand over this jade talisman to him on my behalf, is it okay?"
Wu Ji knew that the crow soul Lu Zhao mentioned was the raven, so she nodded immediately, took the jade talisman, and said, "I'm sorry!"
"?!" Wu Ji's apology made Lu Zhao a little confused.
Wu Ji added: "If I hadn't been pushing each other again and again, you wouldn't have entered the God-Popular Period so unprepared. Now I'm taking the backlash from the altar on my behalf, I..."
After hearing this, Lu Zhao suddenly realized and interrupted: "Don't leave my mother-in-law, I voluntarily. Besides, I'll go through the tribulation for you, it's just a deal. You're thinking too much."
Li Zhong, who was standing aside, saw Lu Zhao's arrogant attitude, suddenly had evil thoughts in his heart and shouted: "Chu Shang, what are you waiting for? Your sister is still in my hands. If you don't want her to die, just execute the order quickly. Otherwise, my subordinates would not be pity for the fragrance and jade."
After being interrupted again, Lu Zhao frowned and a burst of disgust arose in his heart, but he did not take action, because his move was equivalent to breaking apart with the Tianchao on the surface, so he had to endure it.
On the contrary, the little guard behind Lu Zhao heard this, subconsciously took a few steps back, his eyes drifting. His right hand holding a piece of crystal shook violently. Chu Shang took a few steps and stopped, but he still did not attack Lu Zhao.
"A good man, you can stand firm at this time, good." Lu Zhao nodded in praise. With his eyesight, it is not difficult to see the roots of Chu Shang. "I didn't pay attention before. Chu Shang's roots are not bad, and it can even be said to be very good, honest, but can distinguish good and evil. People with temperament are not abolished by their own personalities. They are focused on their work and their minds are not stupid. They are not decisive enough, but they know how to weigh their hearts. They are really a natural talent for practicing Taoism. Unfortunately, I don't have time to accept disciples now..."
Not only Lu Zhao thinks this way, Wu Ji also has the same idea. Who doesn’t want anyone who has achieved success in practicing Taoism?
Besides, the inheritance of Meng Po in the Underworld does not limit gender, which means that Wu Ji can accept this person as his disciple.
Regardless of what Lu Zhao and the other two thoughts, Chu Shang, the secret son who was arranged by Li Zhong, was also thinking about how to deal with this matter. If it were a day ago, he would have taken action to execute the order without hesitation, but at this moment, he knew that he had not died in the previous battles because he had received the protection of Lu Zhao. Chu Shang's conscience made him he began to hesitate. The honest guards believed in his heart that if Lu Zhao protected him, he could not do unkind and unjust things, but his sister was still in the hands of Li Zhong. From childhood to adulthood, he had depended on his sister for life.
Dilemma?!
At this moment, if someone said that he could exchange his life for his sister's life, he would definitely commit suicide without hesitation.
Lu Zhao looked at Chu Shang thoughtfully. He was not worried about the latter's secret move, because he had already opened the seal of his divine thoughts, and the crystal card in Chu Shang's hand naturally became useless.
He was a major in practicing Suzhou and fate. Lu Zhao could calculate the cause and effect in this with just one thought. He naturally knew exactly where Chu Shang’s sister was. However, he had not taken action to capture Li Zhong and rescue Chu Shang from the sea of suffering because he had a thorn in his heart. This shows how much harm his sister Qingxue had caused to him in the previous episode.
At this moment, even Lu Zhao himself didn't know what he was thinking.
On the contrary, Wu Ji was originally optimistic about Chu Shang's character. After hearing Li Zhong's threat, her emotions began to fluctuate, and the ice gas shrouded on her face flowed very quickly, as if the target Li Zhong was threatening was not Chu Shang, but her.
Once upon a time, Wu Ji's parents also faced the choice of Chu Shang. The enemy's bargaining chip was her. In that battle, Wu Ji's parents died with the enemy, and she was rescued by her master and brought back to the underworld. However, in the endless years that followed, the love her parents had for her was immortal in her heart.
To this day, she still remembers what Master said to her: "Think carefully and don't ask whether it's worth it in everything. The great way is clear. As long as you are worthy of your true heart, you are doing good deeds."
Just as Lu Zhao did not ask whether it was worth it or not, he followed his true heart to protect the motherland, just like Wu Ji's parents did not ask whether it was worth it or not, he followed his true heart to protect his daughter.
This is doing good deeds.
Thinking of this, Wu Ji's thoughts returned to reality, looked at Li Zhong and said, "Now, I don't ask if you, a mortal, is worth my action, because my original intention is to kill you."
...
As soon as Wu Ji finished speaking, Li Zhong was imprisoned and could not speak. His eyes were wide open, and his whole body was tied up by invisible chains, as if he was in a execution ground, he was fixed.
"Ah..." After a while, Wu Ji deliberately let go of some imprisonment, and Li Zhong's screams echoed throughout the night sky.
His body was torn apart, as if chains were entangled around him, sank everywhere in his body.
The pain of the skin blooming, the pain of the broken bones of the menstrual cycle, the pain of death suggesting...
With the dual torture of physical and mental torture, Li Zhong could not remember his ambitions. All he thought about now was one sentence: "Die early and get older!"
"Please... please, kill... me!" After a moment of awakening, Li Zhong expressed his request word by word.
"Okay!" Wu Ji said coldly. If Li Zhong hadn't done the same thing as the culprit who forced her parents to death, she would have even owed interest to torture Li Zhong.
After receiving Wu Ji's reply, Li Zhong's face showed a satisfied smile. At this moment, his heart was very calm, without disappointment, guilt, and regret. All he had was the happiness that was about to transcend.
"puff"
A moment later, the acting leader of the garrison was shattered by chains of Forgetful Worry, and the pieces stayed in the air for 0.2 seconds, and then they were shaken into powder by the rumbling thunder.
Only the beach on the ground was still steaming with hot blood, proving that there was indeed someone here before.
Wu Ji remained calm and said, "Maybe, for you, I have a worthwhile or not in my heart. But I can tell you that it is not worth it..."
Using Li Zhong's life to untie his knot, Wu Ji seemed to have killed the culprit who killed her parents, and she felt extremely happy.
Chapter completed!
