His old enemy deceives the world

"I can assure you that we are also lost in the miasma. Even if you are in a better situation, we will definitely live longer, so I advise you, don't play your little tricks in front of me. Once consumed With my patience, you may die happily, but you will end up with no soul left."

Yinhan paused when he heard the words, gritted his teeth secretly, suppressed the thoughts that shouldn't be in his heart, and supported Yinshu to walk in front of the two of them and lead the way.

And Chong Cang walked up to Chu Yu, who was in a daze, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing." Chu Yu recovered from the contemplation just now, and replied lightly, "I'm just a little worried about Ah Zi."

After finishing speaking, he stepped forward. Chong Cang was silent for a moment behind him, and then slowly followed his footsteps. He was only half a step behind deliberately, and his eyes followed Chu Yu's back in the unclear air.

Occasionally, the empty sound of the wind came from the fog barrier, like some kind of weird whistle, which made people feel chills down the spine. The line of sight wrapped around him like a spider's silk, making him feel almost suffocated.

In front of him, there was only Yinhan comforting Yinshu in a low voice. For some reason, Chu Yu was in a trance and had the illusion that there were only four of them alive in the world.

This sudden absurd idea made Chu Yu tangle a handful of broken hair on his forehead a little anxiously. It was originally out of the instinct of birds. He always likes to stand on the highest place, with his claws tightly grasping the hard and rough Under the cover of dense leaves, you can feel at ease when you can see all the scenery on the ground.

But the current atmosphere - the illusory figures in the mist, the painted railings and painted buildings hidden in the dark blue distant scenery, the dim white moon hanging high in the sky, all made it difficult for him to calm down even if he was down-to-earth. Just like meeting the wind, struggling to break through the oppressive skylight and reach the sky.

Chu Yu took a deep breath, suppressing the restless instinct, he unconsciously slowed down, and gradually kept almost parallel with Chongcang, until the corner of his vision was finally filled with a touch of that tall figure, he muttered in his heart : This is a tree, this is a tree.

Only then did he feel a little relieved, he secretly heaved a sigh of relief, his expression was somewhat similar to that fluffy little red bird, causing Chong Cang to glance at him silently, and a flash of light occasionally flickered in his calm eyes. Glittering.

But Chu Yu didn't catch that bright color, he raised his head and collided with Chong Cang's eyes that were always as deep as an abyss, and he suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

In the past, he and Chong Cangshi were in the same boat, as long as they got close to each other, there would be a storm, and the earth would shake, but now, aside from those confrontations, he didn't even know for a while that there was a huge age gap between him and him. The old monster said something.

But fortunately, after the silence in the blink of an eye, there happened to be a worried voice from Yinhan asking Yinshu in front of him. Chu Yu immediately turned his head away from the kindness, and at the same time secretly rejoiced, he also stared at the blurred figure in front of him, seemingly natural Looking for something to say:

"That girl named Yinhan is obviously not very kind, but she never thought that she would still care about her junior sister at such a time when she can't take care of herself."

"It's just human nature." Chong Cang was still so calm, even ruthless, and calmly said with a look of no surprise: "The lips are dead and the teeth are cold, the more you are in a desperate situation, the more people like this will seek meaningless things." comfort."

Chu Yu had heard too much of his dissatisfaction with the world, and he no longer had the heart to slander, so he just smiled indifferently and said, "I didn't expect that Lord Demon Lord is quite familiar with the world."

These words were undoubtedly a kind of ridicule in the past, but in the current context where the relationship between the two has eased, it seems a bit like teasing.

Chongcang lowered his gaze when he heard the words, and looked straight into Chu Yu's eyes without any hesitation, until he looked at Chu Yu so hard that his back got hairy, then he said with deep meaning: "You don't know, there are still many things about me."

As if being stabbed by his thick black eyes, Chu Yu's heart trembled, and he immediately turned his head away, avoiding to answer, and after a moment of imperceptible pause, it was as if he didn't hear the words just now, and then said casually: "Say Come to think of it, I used to have a playmate in Qingyin Waterside Pavilion when I was young, and I didn’t get close to it usually, but whenever I got something new, or I accidentally jumped to the highest branch of the sycamore tree on the edge of the high cliff Sometimes, thinking about the past... but there is only such a person who can express joy."

At the end, Chu Yu's voice was calm after being relieved, and the smile on the corner of his mouth did not seem to be happy. In the short memory just now, he seemed to see pictures of fear and fear. The evasive face, as well as the tall sycamore tree rising from the morning sun to the afterglow of the setting sun, whether it is the thick trunk pierced into the soil or the dense canopy that welcomes the sea breeze, every inch of its body, the jumping little red bird Explored, even the scars of age and the leaves soaked in the salty taste of the sea.

Hearing Chu Yu mention his past, Chong Cang's expression was unexpectedly unsurprising, he was still calm... and even calmly asked: "Is that person Gu Feng?"

"!?"

As if there was thunder on the ground, when Chu Yu heard the name of his childhood sweetheart from Chong Cang's mouth, Chu Yu suddenly raised his head and looked at the people beside him, feeling absurd for a moment whether he was in a dream.

Gu Feng is the grandson of Elder Negative Green (that is, the elder who prophesied for Chu Yu), who broke his shell at the same time as him, but compared with him, he has ordinary aptitude. One month old, other chirping phoenix cubs circled around, always standing on top of other cubs’ heads when grabbing food, and finally the cubs in the nursery hall complained, and in the end they were all killed by their respective phoenix cubs The parents took them home and raised them in person.

But these have nothing to do with Chu Yu. As the destiny-ordained star and the only Suzaku bloodline in the world, he has not yet been reduced to the point where he wants to compete with these bluffing cubs for food. The food prepared for him in the Qingyin Water Pavilion Always unique:

The first ray of dew on the leaves of the phoenix tree under the sun, the rice with only three spikes growing beside the Huasheng pond, and even the four-clawed snake in the Crouching Dragon Tan that is infused with the aura of heaven and earth, whether it is produced by heaven and earth or paid tribute from all directions, All must sacrifice to the mouth of Suzaku first.

But the so-called extremes must be reversed, and the state of pampering may have missed Chu Yu's growth. When many little phoenixes grew up as if they were blown out, and the layers of vermilion feathers flowed with gold and emeralds, Chu Yu was still small. One, although people in the clan have never gossiped about it, but when he gradually showed his difference from other cubs, the eyes of people around him changed, no longer the kind of cubs who see cute The cub's benevolent eyes became respectful and distant, and after the death of the elder Lingqing, the distinction further turned into reverence and caution.

Chu Yu still remembers the instant silence that ensued when he inadvertently landed on a sycamore tree full of cubs.

This oppressive quietness has been with him throughout his incomprehensible childhood, until he grew up and gradually got used to those deeply lonely surrenders.

He thought at that time, if this is the price of being a demon lord, then I am willing to bear it, because this is the destiny and my destiny.

Before he grew up enough to accept all this, Gu Feng was the only peer who was willing to accompany him at that time.

Even though he might not have done it voluntarily, such as Elder Qing's persuasion, or something else, but Chu Yu didn't mind, he just wanted someone who could hear his voice.

Even though they had drifted apart since they grew up, Chu Yu was still very grateful for his company back then.

So when Chu Yu heard the name from Chongcang's mouth, Chu Yu was a little stunned. Apart from feeling a little bit emotional, it was more because he couldn't compare the jumping up and down bird cub in his impression with the clean-eyed demon lord. It's as absurd as he always suspects that Chong Cang may have a crush on him.

Thinking of this, Chu Yu's face was weird and distorted. He forced himself to calm down and asked, "How...how did you know him?"

There was a bit of sarcasm in Chongcang's condescending gaze: "If you want the building to collapse, it is undoubtedly the quickest way to dismantle it from the inside. You might as well guess who was in it when the Suzaku clan ended up in a mess with no fighting spirit. The greatest contribution?"

As soon as these words came out, Chu Yu's expression changed immediately. At first, he was a little stunned in disbelief, but then it turned into a relieved wry smile.

Seeing his appearance, Zhong Cang frowned slightly and said, "I thought you would be very angry."

"What's the anger?" Chu Yu laughed at himself: "At that time, it was a losing game. If I were to use my temper and blood surging, I would definitely lead the whole family to fight to the death without bowing their heads, but there are always people who look down on me Life is more important than anything else, they just want to survive, so what can I do?... Besides, who can say that what they do is wrong, is integrity really more important than life? If you keep the green hills, you are not afraid of running out of firewood Burn, this kind of saying has existed since ancient times, what can my wishful thinking shake? Even if I was a tyrant at the time, detonating the inner alchemy and returning to the fire with them, would it be consummated? I am afraid that under the nine springs, those The remnant soul still wants to blame me and hate me."

He said wearily: "So what to do with that breath, in the end it's just a lonely family, it's meaningless."

"..."

After a long time, talking to the chief culprit about the setback of that day again, Chu Yu felt neither sad nor happy, as if the heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders, and the rise and fall of the Suzaku Clan no longer had anything to do with him. From now on, he only lives for his own emotions.

Thinking of this, what made him even more strange was Chong Cang. He seemed to know a lot about himself before the two met. Could it be because of Elder Negative Qing's prophecy that made him pay more attention to him?

But in that case, why didn't he suffocate himself as a threat in the eggshell early?After all, Chong Cang has lived for tens of thousands of years, and his own age is only about five hundred years old. He can even know clearly the childhood playmates he has not been close to. It is not only in the past few years that he knows about prophecy. , You can kill yourself before you are born.

It can't be because the old man thinks he is invincible, so he is lonely and cold, so he has to cultivate an opponent for himself, right?

Chu Yu murmured in his heart: If that's the case, the old guy is too impatient. After all, no matter how talented he is, just relying on 500 years of Taoism is far from enough to fight him out!

It seems that there are probably other reasons, such as the existence of Ah Zi, if he and Chongcang are really one, why would Wannian Wutong separate two completely different souls?Is there a primary and secondary between the two?Why did Ah Zi lose her mind before being nourished by the glass slug?Is Chong Cang suppressing it?Or are they actually in a relationship of plundering each other... As long as one party has the upper hand in demon power, it will completely overwhelm the other party to gain control of the main body?

Chu Yu shook his head secretly, how many secrets does Chong Cang have in this old monster?

He was slandering secretly, but Chong Cang spoke indifferently, and commented on his "open-mindedness" just now: "When you were in Mingyang Palace, you regarded me as a sworn enemy, and your words were inappropriate. Jean, even though I have treated you well, you still wish you could kill me first, but now you have changed the object of your pain to your friends and relatives, and you are so open-minded."

Chu Yu: "???"
