Chapter 1981 Seventy years of suffering
"Okay, okay." Bai Ying glanced at the knife emitting black light in my hand, and said in a terrified voice: "Just... even if you are right, you are helping ourselves. You are trying to save people and leave safely, and we are trying to break free from the confinement of this magic. In short, our purpose is the same, we must kill the array eye and escape from the ancient tomb. Isn't this the basis of our cooperation?"
"No!" I shook my head and said, "The basis of cooperation is trust! I can't trust you at all. Once you smash the three-legged black, you two can freely enter and exit the three-legged junction. Since that eye is a living creature, there is no danger to you. It will be a matter of time to kill it. It is also said that we will no longer need us and may launch a sudden attack on us at any time."
"No, no! Absolutely no..." Bai Ying shook her head and wanted to refute when she heard it, but was frightened by my cold eyes and shrank her neck and did not dare to speak.
"What do you think you should do?" The black shadow was a little braver and asked in an impatient tone: "I'm pretty optimistic! No matter what, you won't believe us."
"Yes, it's true that we two brothers are from Amaterasu God Club, but this identity is not something we can choose? We were originally an orphans, and were picked up from the street by Amaterasu's previous generation of Dharma protectors. Since we were five years old, we have been practicing this magical magic and have been hoping to achieve something. Unexpectedly, we finally practiced such a look of being neither human nor ghost. We were then taken to the ancient tomb and were cursed by the contract, and we have never left here. In the blink of an eye, it has been more than seventy years."
"For more than seventy years! Can you imagine what kind of life we live here."
"Every day, with corpses and tides, guarding the coldness and darkness! Can you understand the feeling of wanting to die at any time but you can't die. Can you?"
The black shadow became more and more excited as he spoke: "For others, we, Goro Izumi and Liuro Izumi, are the two noble inner guardians, but in fact? We are just imprisoned here, just guardians of the ancient tomb, just a pair of immortal souls."
"If you want to say that the Amaterasu God Club is hated by us brothers, we are more hated than any of you! We hope that one day someone will rush into the ancient tomb, kill the eye of the formation, and smash the ancient tomb into the sky."
"We look forward to it every day, every night! We have been waiting for it for seventy years."
"I finally hope for you."
"We were both secretly happy and danced with joy. We finally waited until the old guardian and the old thief Ito entered the core and then came to meet you. But I didn't expect you to doubt this and don't trust that one."
"From the beginning, we never thought about what to do to you, otherwise how could we stand here and wait for you? Wouldn't it be better to attack the injured person in secret?" The black shadow said and glanced at Miss Caiyun standing in the distance and Han Laoliu on her back.
When Xiao Bailong heard this, he turned his head and looked at me, and his arms, which had been vigilant and hanging high, slowly lowered them.
It can be seen that he was very sympathetic about the experiences of these two people.
"Tell me, what do you want to do? How can you believe us? Our purpose is the same as you, both of us want to kill the Eye of the Formation and escape from this ancient tomb. You are for life and we are for rebirth! This is the reason for asking you to cooperate."
After the black shadow finished speaking, he looked at me with a determined face, and looked like "This is the truth, you can do it."
I pondered and said, "Maybe what you two said is true..."
"What is maybe? This is the truth." The black shadow seemed to have not turned back from the pain of more than seventy years, and corrected it with grief and anger.
"Even if this is the truth," I nodded and said, "But for us, you two are still a hidden danger of uncertainty."
The black shadow was about to argue something, but I waved my hand and interrupted him and continued, "You two are immortal now. You are exhausted and we can't do anything to you. But you can launch a surprise attack on us at any time. Any mistake is fatal and we can't afford to bet! How can this make us completely relieved? Beware of you at any time, how can we start this cooperation?"
"Since it's a cooperation, there will be no grudges. You proposed to kill the array eye and destroy the ancient tomb together. I have no objection to this. But the question now is how to eliminate the threat to us. After all, we were still a life-and-death enemy just now. If you were to be careful, right?"
"This..." When the black shadow heard it, he seemed to make sense and lowered his head silently.
Bai Ying frowned, as if she was thinking about something.
I looked at them both sides, reached out and took out a small wooden box from my backpack and said, "If you two have no good ideas, I have a solution to both sides, but I don't know if you two are willing or not."
"I'm willing, I'm willing..." The white shadow didn't look at it, and said without thinking.
The black shadow glanced at the small wooden box with a particularly serious solemn expression: "What is this?"
"To be honest, I don't know what this is. However, after my research, I found that there are three magic arrays engraved on it."
"The first magic array is a bit similar to the Taoist Sumeru Heaven, which can isolate yin and yang, form another world, and be free from all interference from the outside world."
"The second magic array is the spirit gathering array, or to be more precise, the Yin gathering array. It is the ability to gather Yin energy, for the undead, it is simply a blessing in the world of cultivation."
"The last magic array is exactly the opposite. It is a spirit-branching array. When the Yin Spirit enters it, it will be integrated by the source power of the formation. Once there is a slight action, the formation will sound and warn. To put it bluntly, this is equivalent to a heavily guarded wine pond and meat forest. If you are well in it, you will have delicious food and drinks. Once you have any action, I will know immediately."
"You mean... let us brothers get here?" The black shadow understood immediately.
I nodded without comment and said, "This may be the only feasible way. Once you enter the box, I can take you into the three-way intersection. As long as you have any bad actions, I will know in advance. In this way, we can all feel at ease with each other. When the eye of the array is broken and the tomb is broken, we will go our separate ways."
"Your box is not a trap, what's wrong with it?" the black shadow asked suspiciously.
I smiled and said, "Look, aren't you suspicious of me too? How can you relieve me of my guardianship?"
The black shadow rolled his eyes very deceitfully and said, "Then it's better not to discuss this cooperation! We have been waiting for more than seventy years, and it's the same for the next wave of people to come. What's more, as long as you want to get out of the ancient tomb, you must kill the eye of the formation. As you said just now, we'll sit here and enjoy it."
