Countryside Rhapsody

The ghost king's words made Qin Boran raise his head immediately. He looked at the ghost king's eyes that were deeper than the night and remained silent, or their communication was not in such a shallow and ordinary way as language.

The ghost king was also looking at Qin Boran, with a smile on his lips, as if he would not be surprised no matter what decision Qin Boran made or what choice he made.

Looking at each other is more like a spiritual wrestling, but this is a wrestling challenge unilaterally initiated by Qin Boran. He must see through the purpose of the ghost king in order to get the result he wants. The only thing in front of him now is The problem is that he knows next to nothing about the ghost king.

Ignorance is a variable, and it will put you at a disadvantage.

All his knowledge of the ghost king came from a short communication with the ghost king and a few words from the proud landlord. The information he had was not enough to support him to make any speculations and judgments, which increased the risk.

"You have to cherish it, this is the only chance."

The ghost king’s words were like a countdown hourglass that made Qin Boran’s heart beat faster. From the day his body was destroyed, Qin Boran never heard the sound of the hourglass again. He knew it wasn’t because he had escaped. He has nowhere to hide, but he has nowhere to hide.

A man without a soul is not even worth being imprisoned.

Qin Boran knew that no matter how true or false the ghost king's words were, he had to seize this unique opportunity. Not everyone had the chance to meet the ghost king face to face while staying in the mortal world.

"I have the answer." When Qin Boran watched the ghost king say these words, a single-plank bridge appeared on the creek between him and the ghost king.

"Really?" The ghost king's voice with a unique rhythm came into Qin Boran's ears: "I'm listening to your answer."

"Thank you Ghost King for giving me three choices." Qin Boran said unhurriedly.

"Am I so merciful? I actually gave you so much leeway?" Ghost King said in a suspicious tone, with a surprised expression on his face at the same time.

"Yes." Faced with the ghost king's doubts, Qin Boran did not change his words, but nodded to admit his opinion again, with a calm expression as usual, Qin Boran continued along his own train of thought: "The first one that the ghost king gave me The choice is the strongest cultivation method that has been circulated, the second choice is to uncover the real secret in "The Four Parts of Heaven and Wilderness", and the third choice is to complete a deal with you."

The ghost king looked at Qin Boran with playful eyes, and asked slowly: "What is the secret hidden in "The Four Parts of Heaven and Wilderness"?"

"The ghost king is kind, he told me the answer from the very beginning, didn't he?"

"If the little sister in your family who doesn't know how to respect the elders hears you, her expression must be wonderful."

"Why?" Qin Boran was puzzled.

"Throughout the ages, you are the first person in this world to use the word 'merciful' to describe me." The ghost king laughed, and the laughter was not as strenuous as he said: "Tell me your choice, no matter what Whatever your choice, I will let you get your wish."

The King of Ghosts looked at Qin Boran, with regret in his eyes: "Even if you don't have the qualifications, as long as you speak, I can still make you my successor in the world, watching the world with disdain."

"Qin Boran is just a dying soul, what's the use of this world?" Qin Boran looked at the ghost king with firm eyes, and there was no hesitation in his decision to say: "I want to finish that with you." A deal, okay?"

"Of course." The ghost king had already anticipated what choice Qin Boran would make. Even so, the two words used to agree to Qin Boran's request could not be said clearly and neatly: "What do you want to trade? What do you use?" To pay for the transaction with me?"

He recalled that it came to an abrupt end here, the deal had already been concluded, and now it was meaningless to try to find out the deep meaning behind it. There was never any medicine for regret in the world, and no matter how much regret happened, he could only swallow it in his stomach. He only remembered The ghost king is indeed going to take his name away.

The remaining blood flowed out of his heart, and flew towards the pitch-black register in the hands of the Ghost King, where a page of paper that landed on it turned into light golden handwriting, faintly tinged with blood.

After seeing the name on the roster, Qin Boran felt the strength rushing back to him at the same time, sweeping away the exhaustion that followed him everywhere.

Returning the power to himself, and taking over the mask of the ghost king known as the seal of the ghost king, Qin Boran kept the words of the ghost king firmly in his heart: "From today onwards, you are no longer Qin Boran, until the day you die, You can only live like this."

The surface of the clear stream reflected Qin Boran's current appearance, the mask on his face seemed to grow out of the flesh, and was tightly attached to Qin Boran's skin, as if it was originally his body The degree of fit is unbelievable. Qin Boran didn't feel any discomfort, he didn't feel stuffy, and he didn't find it difficult to breathe, as if this mask was his original face.

"Now, it's time for you to come." The ghost king's voice revealed his joy: "You are no longer fit to stand on the other side. Look, the flower beside you has turned white."

Qin Boran looked in the direction of the ghost king's finger, and clearly saw a bright red that was burning like a sea of ​​fire.

When he followed the ghost king's request and walked across the single-plank bridge, when he turned his head again, he saw a peaceful white flower standing proudly on a branch in a sea of ​​bright red flowers.

Looking back at the ghost king in front of him, Qin Boran couldn't help asking: "I wonder if there is a flower here that represents the proud landlord?"

Qin Boran's question made the ghost king laugh out loud, and led Qin Boran to the depths of the sea of ​​flowers. The ghost king's words were meaningful: "There are no such flowers growing here, come with me, I have a gift to give you."

When he escaped from the illusion created by "Four Parts of Heaven and Wilderness", he no longer admitted that he was Qin Boran, so he ignored the proud landlord who had been standing by the fire pond waiting for his return, and just looked after himself. On the way forward, as if he and the proud landlord are strangers who have never met, he wants to prevent the disaster from happening.

Now that the name is abandoned, the old people involved in it will no longer know each other.

When he was leaving, the proud host didn't stop him or ask, but just followed him calmly and unhurriedly, turning a blind eye to the changes in him and his attitude, and seeing nothing in his eyes. Confuse.

From the very beginning, he was the one who had doubts, so he was afraid that the proud master would follow him all the time.

Without any reason, he already knew that the landlord had seen through everything, and he couldn't help but believe in the matter of Yin Qiulu.

Recalling, he has never gained the upper hand in front of the proud landlord, and he thinks that the person who can gain the upper hand in front of the proud landlord should not be an ordinary person.

Putting away the ink-black drinking autumn dew, Qin Boran softened his attitude: "The King of Ghosts told me about you."

The proud landlord strode past Qin Boran, walking in the same direction as the refugees: "Let's talk while walking, don't you want to hurry? Besides, I can bet with you."

"What are you going to bet with me?"

"The thing I want to bet on is that you can't save them."

Keeping up with the proud landlord, the order of the two walking was reversed, the person walking in front became the proud landlord, and the person walking behind was Qin Boran who refused to admit that he was Qin Boran.

It was the proud landlord who spoke first: "Won't you feel upset listening to that guy? In order to cover up his stuttering problem, the way he speaks always hurts the listener's ears."

"Is there?" Qin Boran didn't care.

"It's really distressing to be unable to interrupt him knowing what he's going to say next."

The hostess complained, in exchange for a few chuckles from Qin Boran, as if there had never been a tense atmosphere between him and the host.

"However, I have a question." Qin Boran looked at the back of the proud landlord: "Why have you never faced yourself when you are always at ease?"

Although the atmosphere between each other has been eased, the question Qin Boran asked was not incisive. If the proud landlord who has been so earnest is essentially the same as him, then the proud landlord has no position to continue to embarrass him. , the troubles caused by the proud landlord can be solved naturally.

Hearing Qin Boran's question, the self-satisfied homeowner paused for a moment in his calm footsteps. Although the footsteps paused, the expression on his face did not change, as if the stop just now was just Qin Boran's illusion, and soon You moved away and walked forward unhurriedly according to the previous pace.

"Have you nothing to say?" Qin Boran asked her.

"No." The proud landlord shook his head and said slowly, "I'm just thinking about how to answer your question so as not to disappoint you."

"Have you figured out how to answer now?" Qin Boran asked again.

"Of course, it's not a question worth thinking about. I've already prepared the answer." The host's attitude and tone remained the same calmly: "Are you ready to listen to my answer?"

"If you feel that there is no need to think about it, please say so."

"There are tens of millions of people in the world. Are you and me the only ones who refuse to face themselves? There are many completely different reasons behind those who refuse to face themselves or are afraid to face themselves."

"How?"

"For example, Duo Lingjun is fine, the reason why he can't face himself is that he doesn't even know who he is." The proud landlord pointed to his temple with his finger: "This place of Duo Lingjun is broken, One is addicted to hatred and rejoices in the pleasure of revenge; the other is desperately seeking redemption, struggling with the bitterness of the past, and his split personality makes it impossible for him to face himself."

"According to what you said, Lord Duo Ling couldn't face himself because he was sick, not because of fear or other reasons, but sickness is a special case after all, he can't represent you, can't he?" Qin Boran looked at Proud landlord: "I don't see that you look like a sick person."

"Duoling Lord is naturally a special case." The proud landlord did not refute Qin Boran's words, and continued to say: "You are familiar with the people of the Helian family, so let's use them as an example."
