Chapter 74
Chapter 74
After Yun Gao was forced to leave Xixin Valley, Gu Chaoyun escaped from the sea of consciousness and forcibly regained control of his body.
He was almost soaked in sweat, dripping with cold sweat, staggered to a hidden tree, squatted down against the tree trunk with weak legs, and hung his head weakly.
Forcibly regaining control from his body, after all, caused damage to his spirit, so that when Gu Chaoyun squatted down, he coughed heart-piercingly while clutching his neck. He covered his lips and wiped away the blood from the corner of his mouth.
The young man slowly closed his eyes, his face was calm and pale, but a monstrous anger had already been brewing in his heart.
Gu Chaoyun looked coldly at Yun Gao who was trembling in the sea of consciousness, sneered, and talked with him with spirit, and said: "I really didn't expect that you would actually want to kill that child. If I hadn't forcibly interfered with your actions, would you have just Are you going to break into the door in front of my master?"
Seeing that Yun Gao kept his head buried and did not speak, Gu Chaoyun held his painful chest and continued: "The child raised by Chongrong Jianzun, named Mo Jiaojiao, isn't your childhood playmate? Before you come out, tell me You just wanted to see him, but in the end... Gui Yan, if you really want to kill him, then I will risk my life to not let you out again!"
"Why?" the young man with his head down asked hoarsely, his voice already filled with tears, "Don't you admire Chongrong Jianzun? That child is not an obstacle to you? Why are you... just like everyone else, To protect him? Do you know how many people he killed? His existence is evil."
"Then it has nothing to do with me." Gu Chaoyun closed his eyes wearily, his handsome face was full of disappointment to the extreme exhaustion,
"What I admire is Chongrong. What does it have to do with Mo Jiaojiao? To put it an exaggeration, it is because of him that I understand why Chongrong doesn't like me. There are too many things that can be seen in a pair of eyes. The look in the child's eyes is something I have never had in two lifetimes. I can't do what he looks like."
"False." Yun Gao said softly. He raised his head, revealing his red eyes, "A group of so-called...heroes who were blinded. Why? Why are we..."
The boy's unfinished words were full of endless sorrow and despair, Gu Zhaoyun vaguely noticed something, and asked:
"Mo Jiaojiao... In fact, they protect him not only because they like him, but the child's status is definitely not ordinary. However, I will not give you a chance to make a move. Chongrong doesn't care about me at all. If this body hurts Mo Jiaojiao, I will never have the face and the chance to see him again in this life."
However, when Yun Gao heard this sentence, she pulled the corner of her mouth and chuckled inexplicably, and sat cross-legged in the sea of consciousness, closing her eyes.
***
After Yun Gao fell into samadhi, the comatose Mo Jiaojiao saw a lonely and helpless boy in a deep and dark dream...
The sound of water is lingling, the dark cave in the dream is filled with water vapor, and the sound of spirit beasts snoring occasionally comes from the depths of the cave.
Mo Jiaojiao staggered, and stepped into the deep water. The hem of the soft robe was soaked and soaked. The child frightened and pulled the robe in a panic, and took two steps back.
He raised his head, listening to the familiar song from the dark place in front of him in a daze, his black eyes were still clear and clean in the darkness.
The child subconsciously hummed a few words along with the song, and then asked suspiciously:
"Is it cloud cake?"
After a while, a soft voice came from the dark place ahead, with the hoarseness unique to a boy in the voice-changing period.
"I'm here. Just stand still."
"Why?" Mo Jiaojiao stopped in confusion. He squeezed the jade pendant around his waist, bent his beautiful eyes, and said softly: "Are Yun Gao and Jiao Jiao playing hide-and-seek? This round doesn't count." , you have to come out and guess fists."
"No." The boy replied softly, "I just have some questions to ask you. You have to answer me honestly."
"Question?" Mo Jiaojiao pursed his lips uneasily, feeling that the boy in front of him was different from what he remembered, but he was well-behaved, so he finally nodded obediently, "Jiao Jiao will definitely answer you seriously."
The young man in the dark curled his lips silently, and asked softly, "Jiao Jiao, why are you still alive?"
Mo Jiaojiao was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, he hesitated to squeeze the jade pendant tightly, he lowered his head and kicked his foot, Nuo Nuo said: "Jiao Jiao doesn't know, Jiao Jiao died and woke up again, Jiujiu saved me .”
"Really?" Yun Gao tilted her head like a child, ignoring the tears on her face, and continued to ask: "Then, the owner of the valley, the elder of the locust tree, the elder of the squirrel, the elder of the piranha, and the elder of the reed, are you still there?" Yes...my father, Elder Fox, where did they go?"
"..." Mo Jiao raised his head in bewilderment and stared blankly at the darkness in front of him. After a long while, the child answered in a soft voice: "The owner of the valley and the elders have become stars. Jiujiu said, The owner of the valley has gone back to his hometown, and it is on the opposite side of the mainland, and when the burns get worse, go down the mountain and find the way back, then you can meet the owner of the valley."
"Is that so?" The young man laughed uncontrollably, as if laughing at the naive thoughts of a childish child, he murmured: "It seems that you still don't understand anything."
"But..." Hot tears rolled down his cheeks, and the young man stared intently at the well-behaved child, but the innocent and childish eyes of the other party were like dense thorns deeply piercing his heart, and it hurt even to breathe.
"But... why do so many people give everything for an ignorant child like you?"
Yun Gao smiled softly as she spoke, and then let out a choked cry with a smile.Almost questioningly, he asked word by word:
"Mo Jiaojiao, why are you still alive when everyone is dead? Why do you have to sacrifice so many lives for you to live alone? Tell me."
"Jiao Jiao also...don't know." Mo Jiaojiao was completely frightened by the hoarse voice of the boy crying and laughing. It was too hasty, and the whole person fell to the wet ground with a crooked step.
The child didn't care about the pain, but looked anxiously at the dark place with his round eyes, and his soft childish voice was filled with helpless crying, obviously terrified, but he still said timidly: "Yun Gao, don't cry... It's Jiao Jiao stupid, Jiao Jiao made a mistake, don't cry..."
Mo Jiaojiao's dark eyes were full of crystal clear teardrops, but he tried his best not to let them fall, he just repeated those few words softly, trying to comfort the desperate crying boy in the dark.
However, Yun Gao stared at his timid appearance, but she hated him more and more.
He bent down deeply, and the endless grievances, loneliness, anger and despair in his chest overflowed so much that he almost burst out of his chest, and he almost said sharply:
"You are wrong. Mo Jiaojiao, you are sorry for me, sorry for my father, sorry for my mother, sorry for Yinshengu, you owe us! Do you understand?"
The boy's painful, almost shrill voice resounded through the cave.
"You shouldn't have been born at all! Mo Jiaojiao, if you hadn't been born, my dad and Guzhu wouldn't have seen that absurd hope! You are the only key to unlock the opposite side of the continent, that's right, you are the one who saves those monsters in the secret realm." The only hope of the clan! But..."
The boy stared at the trembling child in front of him, laughing wildly.
"To me, you are a disaster and a crime. Because of your appearance, I have become a substitute for Shentuzi, and I am in danger of dying at any time... How ridiculous, my father gave up me and himself for you ! All the big monsters in Hidden God Valley are willing to sacrifice themselves to save those monsters trapped in the secret realm because of you, but I am not willing!"
"What does it matter to me whether the monster clan in the secret realm is dead or alive? Why did my father save them? If you die, the big deal is that all the big monsters of the monster clan will die together. Why are only the monster clan from the Hidden God Valley sacrificed?"
"I would rather die all the monster clans! Even without you, so what if the monster clans are extinct. I only care about whether I can live with my family in peace until I die of old age. What does it matter to me whether the monster clans can continue? Extinct so what?"
"It's not fair..." The boy was completely roaring and shouting at the end of his speech.
"Why? I'm just asking why? Everyone thinks that the continuation of the Yaozu will inevitably require some people to sacrifice themselves, but I don't want the future of the Yaozu. I just want my father to live!"
"There are so many monster races in this world, why is it that Hidden God Valley is responsible for all this? Why are we here to be the so-called heroes who save the monster race? No one is obliged to sacrifice...the so-called loyalty and righteousness of the nation...is completely forced We are headed towards a dead end, I don't want my father to be some kind of hero, I just want him to be safe..."
In the dark cave, the boy finally couldn't control himself and cried loudly.
Heart-piercing cries filled the entire cave, shocking the child who fell to the ground and didn't dare to move. He slowly curled up his legs and hugged his knees, his dark eyes At this moment, there were no more teardrops, and he just stared blankly at the endless darkness ahead, his fleshy little face was numb, without a trace of expression.
The sound of water lingling passed by my ears continuously, and a breeze blew from behind, blowing on the child's weak back.
Mo Jiaojiao lowered his head, looked at the golden Buddha beads on his chest and the longevity lock that he had worn since he was a child, finally let go of his frozen hands, and touched the hot bracelet on his wrist .
He raised his head to look into the darkness, and muttered softly: "If the owner of the valley and the elders don't trade themselves for Jiaojiao, all the monsters will die. The monster race will only die of old age on the front of the mainland and in those secret realms."
Mo Jiaojiao blinked ignorantly, and continued: "Master Gu and Elder Fox, just don't want more people to die."
"Jiao Jiao is too stupid to understand what Yun Gao said, but Jiao Jiao knows one thing, we can't ignore it just because the danger didn't fall on us, we can live longer if we don't care, But many, many monsters will also die.”
"Even if Jiaojiao chooses by himself, Jiaojiao will still want to be a monster like Guzhu, if one day..."
The child hugged his bracelet and said firmly: "If Jiao Jiao's life can be exchanged for the owner of the valley and many monsters to come back to life, Jiao Jiao is also willing."
Shentuzi Mo Jiaojiao was born on the bank of Sunset Lake in Yinshen Valley. He was born from the same root as all the monsters in Yinshen Valley.
Therefore, in his bones, he has the self-sacrifice trait that Yinshen Valley has passed down from generation to generation. He can do what the demons in Yinshen Valley can do.
Yun Gao was forced to sacrifice, and it was indeed Yinshengu who owed him, and Senhu decided his son's fate arbitrarily since he was born.
However, this does not mean that Mo Jiaojiao is sorry for him.This is also the root cause of Dugu Jiu's anger after knowing about it.
In the Sunset Pavilion, the members of the Tianyan Sword Sect listened silently to the voices of the children and teenagers through the ancient mirror, and no one disturbed them.
