In the Blade

About the time Du Chengfeng got some sleep, the coyote came over again.

Different from the last time, the coyote who came this time showed a satisfied expression after seeing the stone city standing in the forest not far away.

"You see, my environment may not be suitable for you. You can always find something that suits you... although this thing seems a bit too mortal."

"That's okay. Maybe the mortal flavor is what I want?"

Du Chengfeng answered cautiously, while secretly firming up his thoughts and trying hard to maintain the shape of the stone city.

Of course, this thing is not what he really wants. Although he himself doesn't know what he really wants, this kind of leftover thing from yesterday's play obviously cannot be his real goal - but considering this suburb The wolf was able to detect his way of thinking through the environment, but he still erected the city immediately.

To put it bluntly, this city is just for the coyotes to see, and it is a necessary cover-up.

After all, the underlying logic that the strange and powerful man in front of him believed in was a naked act of the jungle.

If someone like this sees through your heart, you will easily die.

"But...do I really have anything worthy of being seen through?"

Du Chengfeng couldn't help scratching his head when he thought of this. He still remembered the time when he was affected by the power of mind before. At that time, he was so stupid that his thoughts were almost written on his face - it doesn't matter when he is such a straight person. Don't see through it, after all, he doesn't even have the consciousness to hide.

"If you think about it this way, I have actually recovered to some level?"

Du Chengfeng was a little relieved that the impact of mental strength on him was finally not so profound, and his smart IQ finally began to occupy the high ground.

However, at this moment, Coyote's face suddenly became serious.

"If I were you, I would hide this city deep inside and never let anyone see it... You have exposed it too obviously."

"...huh?"

Du Chengfeng choked directly.

Didn't he do this to fool people? How come it was leaked?

It's just a stone castle, what can you see?

"A large city reflects your desire for a place to live. In other words, you used to have no fixed place to live most of the time, wandering around."

Saying this, the coyote raised his paw and patted the hard granite.

"Choosing such a hard material shows that you are very uneasy about safety. In other words, you are actually very insecure... You long for a stable and secure place to live, which can directly reflect the fragility of your heart. , do you know what this means?"

"...What does it mean?"

Du Chengfeng was stunned. He really didn't expect that this coyote could really say something.

"It's just a stone city..."

"It's just a stone city. It really doesn't look like much."

Coyote sighed.

"But if you really meet someone with ideas like that, they can express these things through you and kill you."

"this……"

Du Chengfeng was speechless.

Just because this coyote was not targeted without aim.

The first is the guess he just made. Although the stone city was just a deceit thrown by him, the coyote's judgment almost perfectly hit what he was thinking - a stable, safe place to live, a peaceful place. , a peaceful life, this is undoubtedly what he wants most.

Even the idea has been grasped by others, so how far can we be from death?

"If it's a big deal, let's do it."

There was a faint evil spirit between Du Chengfeng's brows, and his hands were already shining with white light.

Even without any weapons and just relying on himself, he is still the best swordsman in the world.

"Look, you are affected by the three turbidities again."

The coyote lay on the ground, indicating that he meant no harm.

"Many people think that fighting can solve everything, but fighting can actually only solve the enemy. There are still many things in this world that you can't solve no matter how hard you fight... Let me put it this way, in your situation, if Some people say that they are willing to grow old together with you, get married and have children, and are also willing to build this solid residence with you, and are willing to develop everything in this family with you..."

"No such person exists."

Du Chengfeng shook his head decisively.

He was not a newbie, so how could he be fooled like this?

"It doesn't have to be a person, it doesn't matter if it's something else."

Coyote didn't care about Du Chengfeng's answer, but continued.

"What if such a being really comes to you? If you meet such a being, and the other person falls in love with you at first sight, is completely obedient to you, and is even willing to go through fire and water for you, no matter what... then you will not Would you be willing to sacrifice your life for such an existence?”

"I……"

Du Chengfeng fell into silence.

He had never seen the so-called love at first sight and obedience, but he knew one person who was kind to him - Carpenter Li, who helped him when he first came to this world. If something really happened to this good brother, he might really risk his life.

After all, a good brother treats him well, and he always has to show some loyalty...

"Looking at your expression, you should also feel what I'm talking about, right?"

Coyote stood up.

"So if you think about it, is this existence equivalent to holding your life by satisfying your needs?"

"You..."

Du Chengfeng's eyes widened.

Coyote's words opened up another perspective for him. He never thought that things could still be thought of like this.

But this way of thinking is a bit too...

Du Chengfeng frowned, he couldn't accept this logic.

If we continue with this idea, wouldn't there be no warmth left in this world?

"Since you have reached this point, you must naturally start to learn to break away from mortal logic."

Coyote had no intention of stopping just like that.

"It's like after you know this method, you can also look for those beings who are defective in this regard, provide help in times of crisis, and then use their gratitude to hold their lives in your hands... There is kindness. As a matchmaker, whether they live or die is nothing more than your thoughts. "

"There is a problem in what you said."

Du Chengfeng narrowed his eyes.

"According to what you said, weren't you trying to control me when you told me so much before?"

"It's a good thing you understand this."

Coyote nodded.

"It seems that you at least know that nothing in this world is free, and there is no advantage that can be taken advantage of. Everything that seems to be taken advantage of has a trap, and you and I are no exception...The mouse doesn't know For this reason, it always felt that it could get a little advantage from me, so after I generously gave it everything, it never hated me until its death. "

"..."

Du Chengfeng's answer was a right hand.

Du Chengfeng's right hand is like a knife, but it is sharper than a real blade. He is confident that this knife can definitely split the coyote in front of him into two pieces!

But the fatal blow finally landed on the coyote's head.

If he can't kill him, this may not be the true form of the coyote, not to mention that such killing is meaningless, but it does seem that he is a little incompetent and furious.

"call……"

Seeing the coyote's unresponsive look, Du Chengfeng let out a breath.

Since leaving Jibei, this is the first time Du Chengfeng has felt that his momentum has been suppressed.

You must know that when he met Ruan Shantao, who was stronger than him, he even had the idea of ​​​​taking action. Later, when he fought with Nan Chen Taizu, it was full of battles - and after that, he did not encounter him at all. There are no opponents who are stronger than him, even Wu Zhao or Huang Tian can only barely compete with him.

But only this time...

Du Chengfeng once thought that he could fight this coyote in a fight with both sides injured, and even trade his life for his life.

But this time, Du Chengfeng felt it clearly.

This seemingly ordinary coyote is stronger than him!

"You win."

Withdrawing his chopping hand, Du Chengfeng looked at the coyote in front of him.

"Tell me what you want. Let's talk about it first. Life can't be given to you."

"What I want, I already got."

Coyote looked calm.

"A reasonably usable weapon, and an alliance that is reasonably cooperative... Actually, I originally wanted to make you into a weapon, but it's obvious that you have greater potential. Also, don't look at it that way. "Look at me, this kind of thing is not a question of whether you agree or not, but when you go to heaven with me, we are already a team."

Saying this, Coyote showed a rare cunning expression.

"Everyone is prosperous, and everyone suffers. If something happens to me, you will definitely not be able to recover. If I am killed by any senior sage, you, as the junior I brought here, will definitely be dealt with. After all, they will also be worried about you. Will this new star take revenge on me?"

"..."

Du Chengfeng's face was expressionless.

Just because what this coyote said is still true.

He didn't even notice this. This coyote had already accomplished everything. Just like what this coyote said, if this coyote was killed by any senior sage, he would also be chased for thousands of miles - - Just because they were gazed at by the stars in the sky once before when they went to heaven, this means that all the so-called predecessors and sages already know the connection between the two of them.

"But if something happens to me, you won't survive."

Du Chengfeng's eyes narrowed.

"Aren't you afraid of dying with me?"

"As I said just now, there is no such thing as just taking advantage."

To Du Chengfeng's surprise, Coyote nodded matter-of-factly.

"Everyone is prosperous, and everyone suffers. If you cause trouble and die, I will naturally be implicated. This is a normal thing. Why should I be afraid?"

"If you put it like that, I understand."

After listening to Coyote's words, Du Chengfeng suddenly relaxed.

"Tell me, who are you going to kill?"

"...How did you guess that?"

Coyote glanced at Du Chengfeng in confusion.

"I don't remember talking to you about anything else."

"You really haven't talked, but you need help."

Du Chengfeng touched his chin.

"You obviously don't need help, but you came to me. This only shows that you need help now. You have encountered something that you can't accomplish by yourself... Let me guess, this matter should be relatively secret , so you would rather find a stranger like me than ask the seniors and sages for help..."

At this point, Du Chengfeng suddenly raised his head.

"In other words, which senior sage are you planning to attack?"

"...You said one thing wrong, that is, I came to you not only because you are a stranger."

After listening to Du Chengfeng's words, the coyote looked at Du Chengfeng again with a change in his eyes.

"Sure enough, you are the same as I judged. Once you are out of the influence of the three turbidities, you are actually very smart... Indeed, you guessed right. I want to attack a senior sage, but I am not going to attack a living senior sage, but a cave of a dead sage."

As he said this, the coyote raised his claws and drew on the ground.

"The death of that sage is unknown to other sages, but such things can't be concealed for long. I'm afraid that some well-informed people have already known about it... I may not be able to go alone in terms of combat power, so I need a reliable partner to help me do this."

"... Then what?"

Du Chengfeng narrowed his eyes.

His intuition told him that it was more than just this.

"Then? What can happen next? The two of us pretend to be invited to explore the cave, and then take away everything we can while the other seniors are not reacting."

The coyote continued to draw on the ground with his claws.

"It's probably about this far from us. Remember the distance, don't fly in the wrong direction... Why are you looking at me like that? Didn't I tell you everything?"

"You didn't tell me everything."

Du Chengfeng shook his head.

"Say more. I don't want to die for nothing. Since it's not a small matter, you'd better not take advantage of it."

"Hey, it's hard to talk to smart people. Can't you just take your share of benefits for free?"

Coyote looked up at Du Chengfeng and then shook his head.

"Forget it. I know I can't trick you by looking at your expression. Then I'll tell you the truth... The sage who manages the cave is weird. He is my guide. I was going to inherit his legacy this time. He said that after he died, he would give me everything, so I was the first one to receive the news..."

"But."

Du Chengfeng interrupted Coyote.

"But there's something wrong here, right?"

"You guessed it, I also think there's something wrong here."

Coyote nodded.

"Although he told me at the time that I should inherit the estate, I always felt that there was something strange about it, as if I would definitely die after I went there... Just like I wouldn't treat you well for no reason, he wouldn't treat me well for no reason either."

At this point, the coyote's expression became subtle.

"So I have some doubts that he is not dead yet."
