Chapter 402 Dao Heart
Tang Butian glanced in the direction of the door. The marks made by the wooden knife seemed to have become lighter. She stretched out her hand to Zheng Yuantai and said, "Let's get out of here first."
Zheng Yuantai shook his head and said: "I can't leave. The power on the door turned me into a monster and kept me alive. After you leave, contact Manager Zhong immediately and tell him the situation here. Tell him,
This door leads directly to the outside world. Once it is opened, a large number of demons will pour in, and the consequences will be disastrous. It must be destroyed at all costs."
Tang Butian took back her hand and asked, "What happened?"
"Ten years ago, I mistakenly believed the devil's words, which opened this door a little." He smiled bitterly. "I made a huge mistake, but I didn't know it. I just asked Mr. Zhuang to seal this door."
It wasn’t until three years ago when the demon showed some tricks that I felt something was wrong. But because the matter involved the Jinghu Society, I didn’t dare to act rashly.” He sighed again, “It wasn’t until this month that I received the news from the Jinghu Society.
After receiving the information about the collapse, I planned to investigate the matter thoroughly. Who knew, who knew..." He suppressed his cough and continued in a bleak voice, "Who knew I fell into a trap again, turned into a monster, and was driven by demons?
…”
Zheng Yuantai looked down at his hands that had turned into monster claws, "If your master were still alive, he would definitely laugh at me severely. Humans are neither human nor ghosts."
"You fought until the very end."
A trace of astonishment flashed in Zheng Yuantai's eyes.
"I got your sword, and I felt it," she stared into Zheng Yuantai's eyes, "Master told me that you care about the common people and take it as your duty to slay demons."
"Did she say that?" Zheng Yuantai didn't believe it.
"right."
Zheng Yuantai looked at the door, and the knife marks faded a little. After a long time, he said softly: "I'm just a person seeking fame and reputation."
Tang Butian didn't say anything, she waited for him to continue.
"I, I am different from your master. She has a firm mind and has chosen the path she wants to take very early. But I have always been confused, so what if I become stronger? Until I had the opportunity to go down the mountain and use
My ability has dealt with some things that ordinary people cannot handle, and I have received their gratitude and respect, and I have become addicted to that feeling. I am a swordsman, not a Taoist priest, and I don’t want others to be disappointed in me, so I just messed up.
I’ve learned a lot, but I haven’t made any progress in the art of swordsmanship for a long time.”
Zheng Yuantai twitched his lips, "Those who were originally less talented than me have all caught up with me and are able to fight the big demon on their own. They are truly on their own. For example, your master, and me, ten years ago," he took a deep breath
He spat out again in one breath, "After Xiaoman told me her plan, I originally planned to inform the mountain about it, but Xiaoman said that she didn't trust others, only me. She said that in Jiujin Mountain, we would only win.
I would not lose. I had some doubts at the time, but I finally chose to believe her, because of me, because of me, I had some secret thoughts in my heart at the time. If I could destroy the Jinghu Society’s plan, save people, or even defeat
Mingmo, then..."
"So you didn't tell Shan Shan?" Tang Butian asked.
"Yes, the tour group and 32 lives were all killed by me."
"You didn't say anything afterward."
"I, after I woke up from the coma, I saw Senior Brother Zhong beside the bed. He praised my courage. I didn't know what to say, and, and..."
"What?"
"I didn't know what I opened at the time. I thought it might just be an ordinary crack with a small world behind it, or something like that. I contacted Mr. Zhuang through Senior Brother Zhong. He is good at sealing techniques, and he didn't notice anything strange.
Come, and Xiaoman is dead, the real mountain spirit of Jiujin Mountain..."
"Is it a coincidence?" Tang Butian interrupted Zheng Yuantai.
"Yes, have you contacted her? If she hadn't helped me kill Xiaoman, the situation ten years ago would have been even more difficult to deal with."
"She lurks in a hospital in Tangjiang City, secretly plundering the last vitality of dying people, and enslaving their souls to do work for her." Tang Butian stated without emotion.
Zheng Yuantai's expression turned bitter, "Did she also lie to me?"
"What flaws did you discover three years ago?" Tang Butian asked.
"The foreign businessman in Thailand fell to his death on the mountain. Shao Lang and I went up the mountain to investigate. He was almost pulled into the gap. At that time, I felt that the flowers in the gap were a bit familiar. I guessed that Xiaoman might still be alive."
"Did you report it?"
Zheng Yuantai shook his head, "I, I stayed in Chucheng because I made mistakes, but other people praised me. It's this false reputation, I, I just do it for this false reputation, I was blinded by this false reputation!"
His speaking speed became faster, "I wanted to make amends secretly, so I started to investigate the identity of the foreign businessman. His ancestors were from Chucheng. I thought maybe his family had supported Xiaoman."
The knife marks on the door became increasingly faint.
The scales on the arms are spreading towards the shoulders.
He said: "After the Jinghu Society collapsed, I went up the mountain to check the seal. I turned around and saw Xiaoman standing behind me. Then I fell in here. I saw this door and a
Monster, I fought with the monster, but I couldn't kill it, and gradually, I saw my hands and my body turning into the appearance of the monster. I used my last strength with the thought of dying together.
,but,but,I became a monster.”
He looked at Tang Butian and said, "Time is running out. Kill me and let me leave cleanly. Then destroy this place. It doesn't matter whether Xiaoman or her accomplices can destroy this place..."
Tang Buyian's hand tightened on the handle of the wooden knife.
Zheng Yuantai's eyes looked at him, "Tang Butian, I know you, you are just like your master, you have a firm heart and can die by your sword, I..."
The sound of footsteps came from far away.
Zheng Yuantai heard a man's voice.
"To lose weight, cut off the meat to lose weight when you go back. Do you think the person who built this tunnel is a psychopath, making it so narrow..."
A round man squeezed in.
Then, Zheng Yuantai's eyes flashed with silver light, and a sword fell in his hand. It was his sword.
He raised his head and met Jiang You's eyes.
"My name is Jiang You, a member of the Special Branch of Tangjiang City," Jiang You introduced himself, and he asked: "You are Zheng Yuantai, I think I found you."
Just as Zheng Yuantai was about to speak, Tang Butian spoke up and said, "It's been a long time."
"My son is pestering me to tell him stories."
Only then did Zheng Yuantai see Jiang Mo behind him.
Jiang You walked slowly to the door, half of his face was illuminated by the light from the crack of the door, and half of his face was in darkness. He looked at the faint knife marks on the door, turned his head and asked, "Can you see it?"
"
"I feel it, but I can't stop it."
"There is progress."
"Can you close it?" Tang Butian asked.
Hearing this, Zheng Yuantai also fixed his eyes on Jiang You.
Jiang You turned around and looked at Zheng Yuantai. He said: "Both gods and demons feed on blood. To close this door, there must be sacrifices."
