Chapter 435
When Cui Yuantu arrived, Zhong Xian was sitting in the pavilion in the mansion, with a game of black and white chess in front of him that had already ended.
Most of the black pieces' escape routes were cut off, and the white pieces' moves were fatal, attacking the heartland without any mercy.
The outcome is decided.
Zhong Xian was staring at the chess board in a trance, while Yu Xi rested her head on his legs, looking like she was asleep.
Cui Yuankui's gaze paused at the ghost words on Zhong Xian's face, and he sat on the other side of the chessboard without saying anything.
"Xiao Xi'er's chess skills really opened my eyes."
Zhong Xian picked up a black piece and said with a wry smile, "I don't know who taught you to play such a ruthless game. You leave no one alive."
Cui Yuankui was stunned for a moment, then looked at the chessboard again and exclaimed in surprise: "You are the one who lost?"
He originally thought that Zhong Xian was holding the white piece.
Zhong Xian conceded defeat and nodded, not feeling embarrassed about losing to Yu Xi. He simply looked at Cui Yuankui and sighed, "Brother Yuankui is even thinner than I thought."
Cui Yuankui's eyes were now bloodshot, his cheeks were thin and fleshless, and his clothes were much looser.
Cui Yuankui had no interest in talking, but seeing that Zhong Xian was in good spirits, he immediately waved his hand and took out two pots of wine from his pocket:
"Would you like a drink? My master brewed some fine wine."
"Of course I have to have a glass of the immortal's wine."
Zhong Xian raised his hand to take it, and without any hesitation, he drank from the pot.
The wine is good. One sip seems to be able to dispel all worries.
Zhong Xian's alcohol tolerance was not very good, and this wine had a strong aftereffect. After drinking a pot of wine, his eyes were dazed and he couldn't focus. However, his voice was surprisingly calm and he spoke clearly:
"Brother Yuan Kui, I seem to be really wrong."
He lay on the table and said:
"If I had been able to ruthlessly kill those hidden dangers, if I had not accepted any refugees, if I had not shouldered any responsibilities and had not become the city lord, Qiuluo City would not have become what it is today."
"But you can't do it." Cui Yuankui was not drunk at all and said calmly:
"Zhong Xian, you can't do it. Just because we lost this time doesn't mean those evil beasts will continue to be so proud. One day, someone will correct all of this, but you and I may not see it."
As he spoke, Cui Yuankui looked at Yu Xi and chuckled, "Are you still going to pretend to sleep, little sister?"
Yu Xi twitched his ears. Seeing that he had been caught pretending to sleep, he could not help but sit up silently and glanced at Cui Yuankui:
"How did you know I was pretending to be asleep?"
Cui Yuankui grinned: "Little sister looks like a pig when she snores. Now that she's not snoring, she must be pretending to sleep."
Yu Xi: ???
This is naked black!
She doesn't snore when she sleeps!
Just as she was feeling angry, she saw Cui Yuankui stand up and come over, pick her up and say:
"How come you've gained so much weight after not seeing you for a while? I can hardly hold you anymore."
Yu Xi gritted her teeth, and pressed her two hands against Cui Yuankui's face like a cat, preventing him from rubbing against her, while she said sullenly:
"Brother Yuankui, you are too thin!"
Cui Yuankui remained unmoved: "Well, it's just that you've gained weight, little sister. I'm the big brother, so listen to me."
Yu Xi puffed out her cheeks and raised her hand to pinch Cui Yuankui's face:
"Brother Yuan Kui has lost weight, but his skin is not thin at all!"
Cui Yuankui allowed Yu Xi to pinch him without saying anything.
He held Yu Xi in one hand and took out a few talismans with the other hand and stuffed them into the drunk and sleepy Zhong Xian's hand. He turned around and walked out with Yu Xi.
"I'm leaving now. Please walk me a little way."
Yu Xi was startled: "Didn't you just arrive and you're leaving again?"
Cui Yuankui nodded: "Master has passed away, and his body is still in Chu Xiao's hands. I must take it back and cannot leave it to them to be insulted."
Perhaps he was too sad, Cui Yuankui's voice was very calm, so calm that it seemed as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him.
Cui Yuankui continued, not waiting for Xi to speak:
"When I went back this time, I understood why the immortal sect coveted the pure ghost body. Taking the ghost attractor to attract ghosts is only part of the reason.
"A pure ghost body possesses the purest soul. Although it attracts ghosts, it is also a special physique possessed by kind people. Its greatest value lies not in attracting ghosts, but in its soul."
He looked at Yu Xi, pointed at Yu Xi's eyelid with his other hand and said:
"Chu Xiao obtained a spell that would be engraved on Zhong Xian's body in the form of ghost characters, eventually gathering in his eyes, and could transform the pure ghost body into a container.
"This spell has one yin and one yang. The other half of the spell is linked to him and his three disciples. As long as Zhong Xian's spirit collapses and is completely destroyed, his soul can become the training material for Chu Xiao and the others, greatly improving their cultivation.
"Absorb pure and benevolent energy to divert the evil spirits of the fallen demons. All cultivation bypasses the Dao heart and focuses on increasing your cultivation. You won't go astray and don't need the heart of enlightenment. This is the new way of cultivation taught to the current immortal sect by the so-called 'Martial God'."
The more Cui Yuankui spoke, the more mocking his eyes became. He sneered and said:
"However, Master has confirmed that cultivators who practice this way have no Daoist heart and cannot ascend. I can guarantee that for the next hundreds or thousands of years, no one in the Immortal Sect will ascend!
"That 'Martial God' probably never used this kind of cultivation method. Her true intention was to destroy the Immortal Sect. He Changqing is unworthy of being the head of the Songshan Sect, yet he actually believed in such an evil way!"
Yu Xi suddenly received such important information and his mind was working fast.
Therefore, the target of Sect Leader Mingde is not only the demon clan, but also the immortal clan and the human world. They must all be her targets!
And judging from the situation of Lu Cheng and others, they can go back to the past and enter a new timeline.
Sect Leader Mingde...who is she?
Why on earth would she do this?!
While Yu Xi was distracted, Cui Yuankui had already put him down and was ready to fly away on his sword.
Yu Xi subconsciously grabbed his hand, knowing in her heart that he might never come back once he left.
"What's wrong?" Cui Yuankui smiled, "Are you reluctant to let me go?"
Yu Xi nodded.
Seeing Yu Xi being so straightforward, Cui Yuankui didn't know how to react for a moment.
He wanted to say he would come back, but he didn't want to tell such a ridiculous lie.
The God of War's practice method is hard to quit once you try it. The Immortal Sect has completely fallen, his master has been betrayed repeatedly, and his fellow disciples have been surrounded and killed by the Immortal Sect.
His end was already determined, and now he was just hanging on.
Yu Xi saw the despair in Cui Yuankui's eyes and raised his hand, motioning Cui Yuankui to squat down.
When Cui Yuankui squatted down, she stepped forward and whispered in Cui Yuankui's ear:
"Brother, if someone takes your eyes away, what can I do to get them back?"
Cui Yuankui was stunned and subconsciously looked at Yu Xi. Seeing that Yu Xi was extremely serious, he hesitated and said:
"The Huixin Eye is connected to my body and soul. Anyone who takes it away will surely harm their soul. And seriously, the Huixin Eye cannot be taken away. Even if I die, my consciousness will still be in my eyes."
