Chapter 70: Choice
In the circle of guards of the white-armored soldiers, there was a little girl of about twelve years old, with a fierce and violent look on her face. She kept ordering the white-armored soldiers to rush to kill the guards of Changsheng. Her eyes were red, and she pointed her finger in the direction of Changsheng and shouted.
"Kill, kill, kill for me..."
Changsheng had long forgotten where he was, but stared blankly at the little girl not far away, with two traces of tears on his face, and shouted loudly, "Sister Xiaohong, why are you here?"
This little girl is none other than the lost Xiao Hong!
However, 'Xiao Hong' in front of him seemed to be unable to hear Chang Sheng's words and kept ordering the white-armored soldiers to attack.
But there were too many black-armored soldiers returning to defend, and they killed all the white-armored soldiers in a few rounds, and merged with Changsheng's guards!
Two black-armored soldiers holding swords rushed forward to grab 'Xiao Hong', stepped on countless corpses and came to the bewildered Chang Sheng, leaving 'Xiao Hong' still at Chang Sheng's feet.
Changsheng woke up from his daze in an instant, flew in front of 'Xiaohong', involuntarily helped 'Xiaohong' up, and said, "Sister Xiaohong, how did you get here?"
"Kill, kill, I'm going to kill you..." 'Xiao Hong' seemed unable to understand Chang Sheng's words, so she grabbed Chang Sheng's neck and planned to strangle Chang Sheng to death!
"Wow..." Changsheng, who has experienced countless humiliations, was once stubborn and never cried, and never even shed a tear easily. But now, seeing Xiaohong who had been separated for five years, he couldn't help but howl loudly.
cry.
Grievance, regret, longing, hatred, all kinds of emotions came to my heart...
Chang Sheng was wailing and holding Xiao Hong tightly, who was half a head shorter than him. Xiao Hong was helpless and didn't know what to say or where to start.
At this time, the old man suddenly appeared next to Changsheng, holding his hands behind his back and saying word by word, "The test of this level is to capture the flag and kill the commander!"
"Uh..." Changsheng raised his head blankly and cried, "She is Sister Xiaohong, she is my only relative!"
"She is just your illusion, not a real person..."
"Illusion?" Changsheng finally woke up a little and understood in his heart that five years have passed and Xiaohong is already seventeen years old. It cannot be the twelve-year-old appearance he saw. This is what he imagined, or
He said that Xuan Gonglou did it deliberately to disturb his mind!
But even if this is just an illusion, it is still Sister Xiaohong.
It was the little red sister who supported herself to stagger, taught herself to walk, tucked herself in in the middle of the night, saved the delicious food for herself, endured countless beatings for herself, and would rather die than to protect herself!
How could I swing the butcher knife at Sister Xiaohong?
"Kill her, and you will have completed the test of the Capricorn Palace!" The old man's words rang in Changsheng's ears.
"Test? Oh, yes, I am breaking into the Xuan Palace Tower, but..." Changsheng looked at his very familiar only relative who had appeared in his dreams countless times, and said with a wry smile, "Sir
, I will not wave the butcher knife at Sister Xiaohong..."
"That's just an illusion. I don't really want you to kill your relatives..."
"There are some things I have never said to anyone else. I will only tell you because you are a person in the illusion!" Changsheng smiled bitterly and shook his head, glanced at 'Xiao Hong' in his arms, and said, "From now on
The night I was born, Sister Xiaohong began to take care of me. Until I was seven years old, Sister Xiaohong and Zhuzhu were separated... And just before Sister Xiaohong was lost, she would save a lot of money for herself.
Take out your spare change and celebrate my birthday..."
"The old man said it." The old man interrupted Chang Sheng's words impatiently, and shouted in a cold tone, "That's just your illusion, not a real person... If you don't kill her, you will be killed by the Capricorn Palace."
disuse!"
"Behead...eliminate..." Changsheng glanced at 'Xiaohong', then at the expressionless black-armored soldiers around him, and then returned to the old man, with a few words in his mind
appears alternately...
Suddenly, a flash of lightning flashed in Changsheng's mind, and Changsheng's thinking instantly became extremely clear, and he issued his last order in Capricorn Palace: "All soldiers leave in groups..."
The clanging sound of armor scraping sounded, and the remaining nearly a thousand black-armored soldiers turned around and walked away!
"Sir, how much time do I have?" Changsheng asked in a calm tone.
"Seven minutes left..."
"Seven minutes, just seven minutes!" Changsheng hugged 'Xiaohong' tightly in his arms to prevent her from moving. He looked at the old man and said lightly, "Master, please leave. I will not wave the butcher knife at Sister Xiaohong."
!”
"Why?" The old man asked Youyou without leaving!
"If my butcher knife can hit Sister Xiaohong, what's the point of life?" Changsheng looked at 'Xiaohong' again and saw that she was still the same as in his memory. He sighed silently and continued, "If I really
I can't get through the Capricorn Palace, so I just need to return to Hong Kong to look for Sister Xiaohong and Zhuzi!"
"Why can't you understand? This is not a real person, nor is it asking you to kill your relatives. This is just a test..." The old man, who had looked calm just now, suddenly became a little angry.
"Test? What are you testing me for?" Chang Sheng replied coldly, "How cruel is it to test me? I don't want to talk to you, please leave!"
The old man moved his lips, turned around and flew away, leaving behind a light sentence: "Think about it carefully. If you kill this illusion in front of you, you can break through the Xuan Palace Building and become the owner of the Xuan Palace Building. From now on, you will have a bright future.
Respected status! Tell me if you figure it out..."
Looking at the old man's retreating back, I thought about myself breaking through Xuan Gong Tower and becoming the owner of the building, and then found a way to restore the meridians and acupuncture points, and began to practice internal martial arts...
Changsheng shook his head, pushed out the beautiful pictures from his heart, and sighed slightly, "I am not a heroic figure. I am not even remotely attracted to making great achievements and being powerful in the world!"
Time passed little by little, and Chang Sheng couldn't help but think about his future. If he couldn't break through Xuan Gong Tower, there was no point in staying in Shuo Jin Academy. The best place to go was to join Jiang Shouyi in Quzhou, but here
Before, I had to return to Hong Kong to look for Sister Xiaohong and Zhuzi...
With more than a minute left, the old man floated in front of Changsheng again and said in a funny way, "Boy, even if you don't kill this little girl, she will disappear, and you will also lose the opportunity to become a human master.
!”
Seeing that the 'Xiaohong' in his arms had become more and more transparent, and his breath was weak and almost disappeared, Changsheng raised his head and said, "If Xuan Gonglou wants a ruthless hero, I'm sorry, this junior can't be like this."
Character... Actually, I don’t know if I will become such a person, but I have a bottom line and will never wave a butcher knife at Sister Xiaohong and let my senior down!"
Seeing Changsheng becoming more and more determined and persistent, the old man sighed slightly and said, "The path a person takes is the result of his own choice. Just make your choice!"
Time passed slowly, and with a buzz, 'Xiaohong' in Changsheng's arms disappeared. Changsheng slumped on the ground as if he was deflated, raised his head and looked at the old man, and said, "Sir, this junior is here.
Goodbye!"
"Yes, what a pity!" The old man replied calmly, but suddenly asked, "Boy, do you know how many people broke into Capricorn Palace?"
"Huh? Why do you ask this, sir?"
"Since the establishment of Xuan Gong Tower, a total of one hundred and thirty-six geniuses have entered the Capricorn Palace, but only seventeen have passed the test of the Capricorn Palace. Do you know why this is?"
"Because the other seniors are similar to the juniors and don't want to wield the butcher knife against their relatives!"
"Wrong, absolutely wrong!" The old man burst out laughing and continued, "Contrary to what you think, there are only seventeen people who are unwilling to kill their relatives, and you are the eighteenth...
"
"Ah?" Chang Sheng never expected this ending. Doesn't this mean that he passed the test without waving the butcher knife at 'Xiao Hong'?
"How is that possible?" Changsheng murmured to himself!
"Geniuses are rare, and there are even fewer geniuses who have a bottom line and will never cross it. You are one of them. Congratulations on breaking through the Capricorn Palace!"
It was as if all the power returned to him in an instant. Changsheng stood up with a swish, but he was still a little doubtful in his heart and asked, "Do you take what the senior said seriously? Did the junior really pass through the Capricorn Palace?"
"In the future, you will understand that being the owner of Xuan Palace is an honor and a great responsibility. I hope you can take up this heavy responsibility... Changsheng, please leave!"
After hearing the old man's solemn answer, Changsheng was certain that he had passed through the Capricorn Palace, although he still didn't understand what the 'heavy burden' the old man meant.
Just as Changsheng was about to thank the old man, there was a buzz, and he had left the illusion and was standing on the tenth floor of the Xuan Palace Building!
