Ye Xun lowered his voice with murderous intent in his eyes: "Wang Huan, let me ask you again, are you leaving or not?"
I sneered and said, "If you want to kill me, you can come over and try to see which of us will die first."
Ye Xun suddenly said angrily: "Didn't you keep saying you wanted to save me?"
I stopped and said, "You are not Ye Xun."
After Ye Xun was stunned for a moment, a golden spot suddenly appeared on his face. In an instant, the golden color gradually seeped out from the inside out and completely covered Ye Xun's face. Standing in front of me, Ye Xun seemed to be wearing a Zhang Golden Mask: "So what if I'm not Ye Xun? I let you go out just because I felt pity. I didn't want you to die in Pingtianhai in a daze."
After I sneered at the other party, I strode straight in the direction of the blood moon.
But the man repeatedly sneered and said: "Pingtian Sea is an extremity area. The longer you enter Pingtian Sea, the harder it will be to get out. In the end, you will be trapped alive in Pingtian Sea and reincarnate in Pingtian Sea. What do you want to bet on?" "
"Bet on luck, bet on life, or bet that Your Majesty will be compassionate and let you go?"
"Your Majesty, when horses trampled the Central Plains and beheaded tens of thousands, you never showed any mercy. You don't have to gamble on this."
"Once you enter Pingtianhai, your fate is already in His Majesty's hands. Not even God can change it, and you don't have to gamble on your luck."
I sneered and raised my head: "You talk so much, don't you feel tired?"
While I was talking, a disgusting stench suddenly came from behind me. The man laughed and said, "You don't need to gamble anymore with your life. The bat dragon excretes so fast that you can't imagine it. It You are already starting to get hungry, and in a little while, you will be torn into pieces by him."
"Don't think that the bat dragon will bite your head first. It usually eats your internal organs first. Maybe you haven't died when it ripped out your heart and liver, and you can clearly see how it ripped apart your intestines one by one. Take it out."
I wasn't scared just now, but now I can't control the chill that rises in my body.
I looked up between the blood moons and took another step forward, but the man sneered and said: "It seems that you still don't give up, so be it! I will give you three breaths of time. If you change within three breaths, Idea, I can control the bat dragon and let you run for a while. This is a game we, the Khitans, often play. If you run fast, you might be able to escape with your life."
I have heard that in order to test their archery skills, the Khitan nobles would release the condemned prisoners in front of their horses and let them run away desperately. As long as the condemned prisoners could escape their sharp arrows, they would avoid death.
Does that guy want to play this cat and mouse game with me
I raised my head and looked at each other, and the man shouted coldly: "One"
As soon as the man finished speaking, a strong wind blew up behind me. It was caused by the bat dragon standing up from behind me.
"two"
The man's voice came up again, and two strong winds flew towards both sides of my body. Should it be the bat dragon spreading its wings behind me
At the same time, the man's raised arms stayed in the air: "Aren't you going to run?"
I smiled lightly and said, "Is there anything to run away from? People will die all the time, but there is still a difference in how they die. When I can die standing up, I will never choose to die on my knees."
While I was speaking, the hands that were sitting beside me had been quietly clenched into tiger claws. Although I am still bare-handed, I may not be without the strength to fight. This may be my last blow in this life. I must try my best to make him wonderful. Extremely.
The man laughed and said: "You think you still have the strength to fight, right? If you take action, Ye Xun will definitely die. If you don't take action, maybe I can ask your Majesty to let Ye Xun go. How do you choose?"
After staring at the other person's teasing eyes for five seconds, I slowly let go of my hand, but still stood there with my spine straightened.
"Three" As the man roared, the bat dragon suddenly rose into the air. I was staggered by the airflow behind me. The moment I straightened my body again, the bat dragon's claws pressed on my shoulders at the same time. In an instant, the sharp fingertips of the bat dragon pierced my shoulders and pulled me from the ground into the air.
Before I had time to struggle, the bat dragon had already swooped down from the sky with me. When my body was fluttering like a big flag in the wind in the direction of the strong wind, the bat dragon had already led me into the distance. of the cliff.
Does the bat dragon want to knock me to death and then slowly devour me
This idea just flashed through my mind, but the jagged and strange rocks on the mountain were getting closer and closer to me. Just when I instinctively raised my hand to resist the rocks, the bat dragon suddenly pulled me up into the air.
The stone that looked like a sharp knife was almost stuck to the tip of my nose and swept across my chest. The buttons on my clothes were knocked off by the stones one after another, and the open skirt of my clothes was like a butterfly's wings. Flying away, my coat was swept away by the strong wind, and the biting cold wind blew directly into my chest.
I no longer think about whether I can survive. The only thing I can do is to try to open my eyes and see how the bat dragon wants to kill me.
However, what I didn't expect was that the bat dragon actually took me across the vast forest and flew to a mountain col in the distance where there was no grass.
Black Wind Col? Is that the Heifeng Aozi that Old Man Sun has mentioned repeatedly
As soon as this idea flashed through my mind, I had a panoramic view of the entire Black Wind Col.
That mountain col was clearly a naturally formed throne. The direction the bat dragon flew towards was the center of the throne. Is that the tomb of Yelu Deguang
Just when I was in shock and doubt, the bat dragon had grabbed me and slowly landed in the mountain col. When I looked up to the middle of the mountain col, the first thing I saw was the stairs going up layer by layer. At the end of the stairs was a black tower. Painted cave.
The masked man who had appeared before walked out of the cave with his hands behind his back: "Xuan, Wang Huan has an audience."
I rubbed my weak legs a little, walked up the stairs step by step, and walked into the cave.
This cave is only a hundred or ten square meters in size, which is incomparable to the secret cave I once broke through in the Solitary Mountain. However, sitting on the throne in the middle of the cave is a mummy wearing a golden robe and a golden mask.
If his hands were exposed, I would have mistaken them for a living person at first glance. It was his waxy yellow palms that revealed his identity - Yelu Deguang, the only emperor to be mummified.
When I turned to look around, I found that many of Lu Xinyao were tied up in the corner of the cave. Ye Xun also wore a golden mask and sat cross-legged near the three of them. I saw that Ye Xun's chest was still there. After ups and downs, I finally felt relieved, at least he was still alive.
The masked man followed me in and shouted angrily: "How dare you, why don't you kneel down when you see His Majesty?"
I raised my head and looked at the mummy on the throne: "Are you Yelu Deguang?"
As soon as I finished speaking, the masked man was so frightened that he knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, calm down, I am..."
"Hahaha..." The mummy laughed loudly before the other party finished speaking: "Sure enough, times have changed. Even a commoner dares to call me by my first name."
Yelu Deguang, is he still alive
No, although Yelu Deguang was speaking, his voice did not come from behind the mask, but he was communicating with me using his consciousness. This is the true function of the golden mask.
Yelu Deguang smiled and said: "Xiao Aiqing, get up! It's not your fault. It's only my fault that I've been silent for too long."
Yelu Deguang seemed to be talking to himself: "Xiao Aiqing and I have lived in this barren mountain for countless years. We have already said everything that needs to be said, any kind of things that you can imagine or cannot imagine." We have done boring things countless times, I haven’t seen a stranger in many years, how about we chat?”
I was silent for a moment before saying, "I really want to know why you always appear in Pingtianhai?"
Yelu Deguang said: "Actually, when you were outside, you already guessed most of the reasons why I sent my soul to the sea."
"My mother seems to believe in shamans, but in fact she is also extremely curious about shamans, especially about their inheritance. After several twists and turns, my mother finally discovered the secret of shamans using golden masks to pass down their secret skills."
"The so-called soul inheritance is nothing more than a shaman using a golden mask to impose his memory on another person."
"After my mother learned this secret, she once found a shaman and asked him if he could use a golden mask to make people immortal. Although the man denied it, my mother always felt that he was lying."
Yelu Deguang paused here and said: "It wasn't until I died on the way back to my country that my mother killed the shaman in order to revive me. That's why the queen made an order to see people alive. I want to see my corpse before I die, and I ended up like this. As for what happened next, it’s pretty much what you guessed.”
The Khitan Empress Dowager's description of Lu Ping's method of forcing shamans may not be honorable, so Yelu Deguang passed it off vaguely. Suddenly, what happened next was roughly the same as I guessed, so there was no need for me to say more. what.
I was silent for a moment and said, "You were mummified at that time. How was your memory preserved?"
This is something that has always puzzled me. Human memory comes from the brain. Yelu Deguang has been pickled into bacon. Can his brain be preserved intact
If there was no special reason, I'm afraid he would have been wiped out before he returned to Liao Kingdom, right
Yelu Deguang smiled and said: "It's okay to tell you. Although I died of illness on the way, I didn't die suddenly on the spot. When I was still alive, my queen mother sent people to rush over to deliver a golden mask. I just relied on it. It preserves its memory.”
"Haha..." Yelu Deguang couldn't help but laugh at himself when he said this: "It's funny that I was so smart that I was deceived by a little shaman before I died. Otherwise, I would have returned to the world long ago and trampled on the Central Plains."
