Shimen is poisonous

Ye Baihan froze for a moment.

He didn't think what the city lord would do to him, although the words that the city lord had used to scare him before appeared in his mind, but he also knew in his heart that it was just some deliberate intimidation.

At that time, he could calmly judge that it was just some hypocritical threats. Ye Baihan naturally wouldn't have such an idea when he was already familiar with the city lord and felt that he knew him quite well.

There must be blackened monks in this world, but the city lord is obviously not.Although he didn't know who his main personality was before he was alive, Ye Baihan felt that it must be an extremely great monk and power. In addition, what he learned later, regarding the specific process of the city master becoming a weapon spirit, since he is a self-sacrificing power Finally formed personality, then he will certainly not be a villain.

There may be many changes in the death and rebirth of the soul, but some of the most important things must be preserved and inherited, such as obsession, belief, or the deepest feelings.

It makes the soul immortal and the mind immortal.

So he said to the city lord, "Why should the city lord say that? I know you are not such a person."

The city lord asked back: "Then what kind of person am I?"

Ye Baihan replied: "Compared to plotting, killing and scrambling, I prefer to create novel things, and make people happy and respectable. You are not a villain."

After hearing this, the city lord was silent for a long while, and then showed an inquiring expression, and said, "How do you know what I'm thinking?"

Ye Bohan said that he prefers to create new things, that's all, but later he said that he wants to make people happy, wants to be respected... but it is a surprising answer.

Ye Baihan said: "Ordinary people have such a powerful magic weapon as Tianzhou Mountain. Ambitious people can use it to expand their power in the whole continent, but you don't have it. Not only do you not have it, you have been working hard on it all these years , to bring convenience to many people. Who doesn’t want to give an order and everyone worships? Who would think that there are too many spirit stones and treasures? The city lord has this condition and did not make such a choice, which shows that he is not a wicked person.”

Ye Bohan was still too naive.But this is not surprising, the city lord thought, after all, he was still a child.

For a cultivator, he is too young.

The city lord said: "If you make such a choice, you are a villain?"

Ye Baihan froze for a moment, then shook his head and said: "I don't mean that. I just think that the stronger a person's ambition, the more desires, and the more he wants, the easier it is to give up everything he has. The more he wants, the more he wants. It’s easy to lose yourself. Those who want something may not all be evil, but it’s easier to fall.”

The city lord sneered, "Maybe I just find it troublesome."

Ye Bohan felt helpless for his duplicity, so he could only say: "Then it's even more impossible for you to do this. How much trouble I saved you in Tianzhou Mountain."

He had a smile on his face, although that smile was shallow, but it carried a kind of complacency towards his friends, and what he said made sense, and the city lord couldn't refute it.

When the two of them walked all the way to the center of the magic circle, Ye Baihan found that he had arrived in a golden-red sealed stone room, or it could be called a palace.

This golden-red palace is incomparably gorgeous and magnificent, and it is simply astonishingly beautiful.In the center of the palace is a huge magic circle, surrounded by a total of nine pillars, although it is the same golden red color as the surrounding buildings, but the material is quite different at first glance.

These nine pillars are definitely the parts of the magic weapon refined from countless precious materials, not the simply processed base material like the skyfire lava.

But in the center of the magic circle, there is a spiritual vein that is completely gathered in the small world of Qiankun - a mountain range composed entirely of spiritual stones.

Because it is close to the center, the spiritual pressure in the small world where Ye Baihan and the city lord are located is already very strong, almost close to the essence that can be perceived.If a mortal appeared here, he would be crushed into powder in a short time, and even his flesh and blood would not be preserved.

But even so, when standing in front of this spiritual vein, Ye Baihan still deeply felt the thick spiritual pressure gap inside and outside.

... No wonder Tianzhou Mountain has been touring the entire continent.

They must have absorbed spiritual energy from the four seas through such suspension, and then cultivated spiritual veins.

The city lord said: "More than 1000 years ago, we discovered a spiritual vein that had not been occupied by any sect, but this spiritual vein was born in the sea where sea beasts were rampant, and it was almost impossible for humans to survive. So we took this spiritual vein completely. It was excavated, and based on that, Tianzhou Mountain was created."

"Back then, this spirit vein was similar to ordinary Xiaofu land, and it was not very pure. But for thousands of years, we have cultivated the spirit vein through the free spirit energy absorbed from the surrounding sky, and slowly cultivated it Maybe in another thousand years, Tianzhou Mountain will become the most precious blessed place in the world."

This may be the deepest secret in Tianzhou Mountain.

Ye Baihan was silent for a moment before finally saying: "...City Master, did someone really invade here?"

If someone really invaded, the city lord shouldn't have such a calm attitude.Moreover, even if someone invaded, the city lord should never reveal such a big secret to him.

The city lord was silent for a while before he laughed and said, "Actually, it's not here that was invaded."

Ye Baihan turned his head to look at him, but his expression was not surprised, he just waited for his next words.

The city lord said: "More than 1000 years ago, this matter was not a secret. Although it may not be deliberately announced to people, it is definitely not a secret that no one knows."

Ye Bohan asked: "...the reason why it became a secret is because people who know it are gradually disappearing?"

The city lord smiled, and said: "That's true. Although it's not a difficult process to guess, but Master Ye, you are indeed very keen."

Ye Baihan said: "Even if old acquaintances leave, new acquaintances should come. Tianzhou City is so prosperous, but the city owner feels that there is no trustworthy person... But is that so?"

"Because I'm already timid."

The city lord restrained his smile, and after a long while, he said this sentence.

Ye Baihan looked at him seriously.

He knew that what the other party was going to say at this time would definitely require courage and determination—even a determination as heavy as the entire Tianzhou Mountain.

The city lord said: "Even if I say it, you may not understand it. But I still want to tell you - I used to be a courageous monk, but since I was trapped in Zhoushan for a long time, everything is invisible. There was a change in it... I used to think that I would never regret it, but it wasn't until you saw through it that I realized that I might have regretted it a long time ago."

Ye Bohan was a little puzzled, but didn't speak for a while.

The city lord continued: "In the beginning, I didn't tell anyone about Tianzhou Mountain's secrets, perhaps to keep it secret, but gradually, these feelings turned into fear. I don't trust anyone, and I don't want to have in-depth contacts with them. One On the one hand, I feel that no matter who they are, they will leave in the end. On the other hand, it is because I feel that human nature is inherently evil, and if they know such a big secret, they may not try to seize Tianzhou Mountain."

Ye Bohan was silent for a while, and then said: "It mainly depends on the person."

The city lord said, "I understand."

Then he continued: "When I was discovered by you, I really thought about killing you at one point."

Ye Baihan: "..."

The city lord didn't need his answer, so he said to himself: "Thinking about it now, luckily I didn't do anything at that time."

Ye Baihan said: "Because the city lord treats me as a friend?"

The lord said, "Because I'm a good man—didn't you say that yourself?"

Ye Baihan replied: "I just said that you are not a villain, the city lord. Killing innocent people indiscriminately is not something a good person would think of."

The city lord ignored his complaints, but said: "Then I realized one thing, even if you are a new friend, you may not be disgusted. I have been in contact with living people for too long, and I don't know why. Started to fear monks... When I realized it, it felt a little bad, to be honest."

Ye Baihan said: "City Master, you should interact with different people more. Humans are a race that lives in groups, and only when they associate with the same kind will they be alive."

The city owner said with some self-mockery: "Am I still a human?"

Ye Bohan said: "Whether it's a human, a monster, or a spirit, in fact we are all the same. Humans exist because of thinking. Since you have likes and dislikes and can think, why can't you be called a human?"

The city lord said: "You are right."

"I don't know how long it's been since I haven't really had a good conversation with a living person. Even as the 'Tianzhou City Master', I have never told the truth to anyone, let alone open my heart to anyone. In fact, before you appeared, I already had a faint feeling."

"I'm already gradually falling into a demon. I often seem to be sinking into endless darkness, and faintly have the idea of ​​destroying everything. I know that I can't have such a thought, but I can't extricate myself."

Ye Baihan understood.

The master of Qiling City has been in the house for too long, and no one has talked with him. He is about to suffer from depression and take revenge on the society.

Imagining the consequences of the city lord's revenge on the society, Ye Baihan felt a little lingering.

Ye Bohan suddenly softened his voice a little, and said, "Then are you feeling better now?"

The city lord said, "Thanks to you."

Ye Baihan said: "But even so, I don't think it's worth the city lord to reveal such a big secret to me."

The city lord said: "If I don't disclose these things to you, how can I send you to do things?"

"..." Ye Bohan paused and said, "City Master, what did you seem to say just now?"

The city lord expressed a gentle expression, and said: "I know that you are a good person, Alchemist Ye, and now I only trust you alone. I intend to select some people as confidantes who can share this secret, but with my current situation, I can't trust you. There is no way to test it, so this important task will be handed over to you, Alchemist Ye."

Ye Baihan: "..."
