Chapter 1025 The Correct Way to Sell Miserably
As soon as the little girl asked the question, they suddenly fell into an awkward silence. The three of them froze there, and even held their breath unconsciously, fearing that the loud breathing would draw the focus of attention to themselves, and they would have to stand up to answer. .
If they are evil people, they can put on a rogue face and say viciously: "I killed you, don't you accept it? I dare to kill you too!"
If they have slightly evil intentions, they can lie casually and say, "I don't know, he was already cold when we came here. Maybe it was a passing monk who did it?"
Good or bad, these three people are righteous, upright, and kind people. They can all be regarded as moral pacesetters in the world of fairy swords. They will neither bully the weak nor lie and deceive others. From a certain point of view, In a sense, his moral standards and bottom line are infinitely higher than that of Luo Feng.
Compared with them, the demon monk Luo Feng is really a good man who does not live a long life but has lived for thousands of years. He was not struck by lightning but instead danced happily. This is the ironclad proof that God has no eyes!
There is no way, God is very blind in many cases, and the bad guys are just nourishing. Those good people can get a happy-ending story in the finale, which is either a fairy tale or a fantasy. The real world is not so tender and affectionate.
Of course, this is also related to the rules of cause and effect in the world of Sword and Fairy. The bad guys in the world of Sword and Sword may eventually be defeated by the good guys, but the final ending of the good people is often not satisfactory. Especially during the plot of Sword and Sword 1, the way of heaven seems to be at odds with the good people. Anyone who is kind will be cheated. Even if you have the merit to save the world, you will still end up in a miserable end.
With the personalities and identities of Jiu Jianxian and Lin Tiannan, how could they lie and deceive a little girl? The two of them didn't know how to respond for a while, so they unanimously chose to remain silent.
Li Xiaoyao is a man-machine, and occasionally tells little lies, plays pranks, etc., but lying to a poor orphan girl who just lost her father because of him is really not in the category of "white lies" or "pranks", and it challenges him as a human being. The bottom line is that if such lies are told, there will be no honesty and moral character left in the future, and there will be no lies that one dares to tell.
Seeing that the two elders remained silent, Li Xiaoyao could only bite the bullet and said: "Well... we had a fight with your father before, and he was probably too seriously injured and couldn't survive..."
The girl widened her big cherry-red eyes and said, "You...you killed my father? Why did you kill him?"
Li Xiaoyao argued: "If we don't kill him, he will kill us, and he even said he wants to eat our flesh!"
When he said this, Li Xiaoyao was quite confident. After all, it was the Heavenly Ghost Emperor who jumped out to commit suicide, so he deserved his death, so he didn't think there was anything wrong with killing him.
However, he was still a little worried. He didn't know how to deal with it if the pretty little ghost girl in front of him got carried away by the hatred of her father's murder and attacked him. He couldn't really eradicate the root cause and simply kill her. After all, it was a waste of time. Killing innocent people is not what a knight does.
A hero must have a good reason for killing. For example, after a knight spares a bad guy out of kindness, the bad guy can't help but attack from behind, and then is stabbed through the heart by the knight's sword. The knight will also add: "Oh, I didn’t want to kill you.”
The ghost king jumped out to eat the three of them, which was the way to kill them. They could attack without mercy, but if the little female ghost attacked them because of her father's revenge, they would not have the confidence to kill her.
Jiu Jianxian and Lin Tiannan also have the same worries. They don't want to kill the little ghost girl. If they really do so, this incident will definitely become a regret that they can't let go of when they think about it in their midnight dreams. , will blame himself for killing innocent people.
The three of them each had their own concerns and were on guard, waiting for the little female ghost to express her stance. During this short period of time, everyone felt extremely anxious. This was more worrying than the dangerous battle situation when they faced a swarm of demons.
"Alas..." the little female ghost sighed deeply: "Daddy has been imprisoned for too long and his mental state is not normal. He is not such a ghost... I don't resent you... This is probably his fate."
The three of them were stunned, never expecting that the little female ghost was so reasonable.
"Dad is also doing it for me... There have been rumors circulating in the Monster Lock Tower, saying that if you eat a thousand monsters or a hundred people, you will gain the power to escape from the tower. In order to take me out of the tower, let me take a look outside. The world, breathing a breath of free air, he embarked on the road of no return to killing."
The little female ghost sighed: "I tried to persuade him, but he refused to listen... He said that it was his fault that I was born innocent and suffered in the tower. In order to make up for it, even if I fell, even if my hands were stained with blood, even if I will not hesitate to die under the sword of a strong human race..."
Then, the little female ghost said sadly: "In the eyes of demons and humans, he is a cruel ghost king, but to my daughter, he is a good father who is willing to give everything, even sacrifice his life... He spent his last breath He had the strength to escape here, probably because he wanted to transfer the remaining Yin Qi to me so that I could have a little more power to protect myself after his death."
Both ghosts and monsters can transfer their essence and demonic energy to others before death, just like Jiang Waner's mother Nuyuan, who transferred all her essence to her before she died, thus disappearing into thin air.
The story that Luo Feng made up for the Heavenly Ghost Emperor was based on Jiang Waner's mother, Nuyuan, and was slightly processed.
Li Xiaoyao, Jiu Jianxian and Lin Tiannan never expected that the arrogant and vicious ghost king would have such a tender side.
On the contrary, I felt a little guilty out of thin air, and felt more and more that the act of setting up a plan to seriously injure him was too cruel and unbecoming of a righteous person.
Recalling the embarrassment of the ghost king desperately trying to escape, several people suddenly realized that the ghost king was not greedy for life and afraid of death, but was afraid of his own death. His daughter had no one to take care of her and her fate was even more miserable. He gritted his teeth and struggled to escape here to find his daughter, but was about to return. The moment before I arrived at my daughter's side, I was filled with worry and regret.
This is like a hunter chasing a lioness, only to find the injured lion escaping back to the den, and using his last strength to breastfeed the cub. When he died, the well-fed cub was still sweet in his arms. sleep peacefully.
The guilt gradually fermented into a sense of guilt. They felt as if they had done something wrong, and there was a stone in their hearts, like a lump in their throats, and they were extremely uncomfortable.
After the little female ghost said this, she ignored them, turned around blankly, and walked slowly towards the depths of the dark tower with light steps.
Li Xiaoyao quickly asked: "Without your father's protection, how will you live in the future? Didn't you say those evil spirits will eat you?"
The girl turned around and smiled, a rare smile. It was a self-deprecating smile, a helpless smile, and a sad smile.
"Future? I have no future. If I can live, I will live. If I can't live... death is also a kind of relief."
She said without a trace of emotion, as if she was talking about someone else's business: "A monk passing by just now told me, 'There is no sorrow in life, no suffering in death.' If you think about it carefully, living in this dark demon tower, how can you still live in it?" It would be better to fall into the eighteenth level of hell in the ghost world. I am already in hell, and life is worse than death. Why should I be afraid of death?"
