Chapter 351 Huolong King's Promise! Thoughtful Choice (2 in 1)
Inside the library, the night wind blows from the window, shaking the candles, the dim light stretches the shadows of the two extremely long, distorted like a demon.
Under the shadow, King Huo Long was expressionless, without any fluctuation in his eyes.
"My lord, I hope my guess is wrong." Zhou Zhou stared at King Huo Long and whispered softly.
"The Huo family is a big family in this dynasty. The Taizu established the country, and he has followed him around. He has the merits of being a dragon, and it is passed down with the dynasty. The glory of the generations, masters emerge in endlessly..."
At this moment, King Huo Long walked slowly to the table, talking about the future and the past.
A big family like the Huo family has been passed down for so many generations. In terms of blood relationship, no matter how far or near, there are at least hundreds of thousands.
Most of them have long since left the family and spread their branches and leaves. They even don't know that their ancestors originated from the Huo family.
Most of them are mediocre, ordinary life.
King Huolong is one of them.
Although his surname is also Huo, but before his rise, he had nothing to do with the Huo family in the capital.
That year, King Huo Long was only sixteen years old. He was just an ordinary boy who made his living by fishing by the riverside of Pingjiang City.
"That year, the Nielong River was cut off, the God of Heaven was furious, and the Dragon King went into hiding. I got the great opportunity that day and entered the Dragon Palace through my courage..."
Huo Longwang's eyes filled with reminiscence.
That was the turning point in his life, and the branch of fate started from that moment.
From then on, the ordinary boy in the fishing village was destined to become the Huolong King who would shake the world in the future.
Sixteen-year-old King Huolong embarked on the road of practice.
This point is quite similar to Zhou Dao's trajectory.
At that time, King Huo Long left the fishing village where his ancestors had lived for generations, and headed for the capital full of hope.
By chance and talent, King Huo Long passed the examination and entered the 【Taiji Academy】.
There is the highest school in the Great Qin Dynasty, and there are countless disciples of famous families, princes, princes, and princes.
Even so, Huo Longwang's brilliance is still difficult to conceal. In the place where dragons and snakes intermingled, he began to show his edge,
The horns are towering.
"Young and frivolous... Maybe this journey has gone too smoothly. At that time, I was high-spirited and arrogant. I didn't take anyone seriously. I acted cruelly and ruthlessly. I didn't hold back. I didn't even listen to the teacher's advice. go in..."
King Huo Long's eyes were blurred, and he sighed softly as he recalled the past.
Who is not frivolous when young? It's just that the power of an individual is small after all, and the so-called intellect and talent are after all just a firefly in front of a huge family, system, and rules.
How can a mere unknown pawn with no foundation compete with those princely children?
Under such circumstances, the so-called sharpness is nothing but karmic fire that attracts disasters.
Finally, the young King Huolong tasted the biggest setback in his life.
He was defeated by his opponent in full view, shattered his spine, and was thrown into the cliff.
To the disciples of the aristocratic family, killing an unknown pawn with no background in a battle is of no importance at all.
They just flicked away the unsightly dust, and it won't be long before no one remembers that there was such a person as Huo Longwang in Taiji Academy.
However, King Huo Long entered the Dragon Palace in the Nielong River after all.
The opportunity he was carrying allowed him to survive, but this accident dealt a huge blow to him, and the damage suffered by his body was difficult to recover in a short period of time.
"That was probably the darkest period of my life. The pride, fame, and strength... all disappeared like a cloud of smoke, and I can only wait to die in the valley..."
King Huo Long lived his whole life, but the light and shadow of that night are still as vivid as yesterday.
In the dark night of the empty valley, with the full moon falling in the west, the sound of birds is not there, and the sound of the wind is still. Death is so close to this former Taiji Academy's proud son.
It was at this moment that a brisk but timid voice sounded in the empty valley.
At that time, King Huolong raised his head with difficulty, and a girl in the mountain looked at him from a distance like a frightened little beast.
That clear gaze was as cunning as moonlight, breaking through the loneliness of the night and breaking into his life in an instant.
Fate made a joke with Huo Longwang, and his life was saved.
He spent more than half a year recovering from his injuries at the girl's home.
She lives with her grandfather
The girl's name is A Yao, and she lives with her grandfather. For the village, the arrival of a stranger is no small matter.
But the kind-hearted grandparents couldn't bear to let King Huo Long live outside and took good care of him.
In Huo Longwang's eyes, regardless of appearance, temperament, or conversation, the girl in front of him could not be compared with those daughters of the aristocratic families in the capital.
But he was moved by A Yao's innocence and kindness.
Time is like water, passing by inadvertently, facing each other day and night, and the two also have a peaceful relationship.
Perhaps, when he chose to live an ordinary life in this peaceful mountain village, it would have been a different scene.
Unfortunately, King Huo Long is King Huo Long after all.
He left the village with ambition, hatred, and a youthful ambition.
Before leaving, he swears by the mountains and rivers that one day he will come back with red makeup and marry his beloved woman.
The swan goose passes on the ruler, and the Yunyao is lovesick.
The girl named A Yao came to stand on the top of the mountain every day, looking into the distance, waiting for the figure that haunted him in his dreams.
Speaking of this, King Huo Long sighed softly, his long breath flicking the flickering candle.
"Have you gone back?" Zhou Dao asked.
If it were him, maybe it would be the same choice.
Young people have their own lofty aspirations, and live up to the eternal flow of rivers and rivers.
What's more, he still has a great enemy in front of him, and he hasn't killed him yet, so how can he calm down the breath in his chest?
"After this incident, I became more tolerant, and gradually knew how to play this game."
King Huo Long's voice was cold and heartless.
When he returned to the capital, he was no longer as ostentatious as before. Instead of returning to the Taiji Academy, he chose to hide his identity, look for opportunities, and get close to the Huo family.
"The Huo family!?" Zhou Dao was slightly moved when he heard this.
After the catastrophe, King Huo Long is indeed not what he used to be, and he is no longer the upstart who was able to live forever just by chance.
At that time, King Huo Long had a faint trace of capital to become famous in the world in the future.
"The sky pays off. With my strength and talent, I finally entered the Huo family and stood out. I started from the bottom and gained appreciation step by step..." King Huo Long whispered.
This is the history of the rise and fortune of the world's giants, and now it sounds thrilling.
King Huo Long's status in the Huo family is increasing day by day, and he even found an opportunity to let the Huo family find out that he is also a disciple of the Huo family and has the same blood.
Finally, the Huo family gave him a reward, allowing him to recognize his ancestor and return to his clan, and marry a collateral woman.
"What?" Zhou Dao was stunned.
Since he recognized his ancestors and returned to his clan, why did he marry an irrelevant woman?
"How can the blood after several generations compare to the bond of family affection? Only in this way can they be truly regarded as members of the Huo family." King Huo Long sighed softly.
"You agree?"
King Huo Long nodded. He has done so much, it is impossible to stop here and waste all his previous efforts.
Finally, he came here step by step, and he was no longer the commoner boy who wandered around the fishing village back then.
At that time, he was a disciple of the Huo family, and he rose to the sky and became a dragon.
On that day, he officially changed his name to [Huo Long Wang].
When Huo Longwang appeared in front of his former enemies with such a halo and honor, he still remembered the astonished and distorted faces, and every time he thought about it, he always found it ridiculous.
Those enemies fell at his feet one by one like bereaved dogs.
However, King Huo Long, who had exhausted his chest, didn't feel half happy. He was still thinking about that quiet valley, that innocent and kind A Yao.
Finally, after ten years of leaving the village, King Huo Long finally returned.
"But when I went back... there was scorched earth in front of me!" Huo Longwang's eyes filled with sadness.
"Scorched earth!?" Zhou Dao froze for a moment.
"The whole village has been destroyed, and there is no one alive." King Huo Long shook his head and sighed.
"How could this be?" Zhou Dao asked.
"I don't know." Huo Longwang's voice became low: "The remaining monsters may be caused by monsters in the mountains, or maybe the revenge of my former enemies...or..."
"What?" Zhou Dao's heart skipped a beat, and he had some vague guesses.
"Or maybe my wife sent someone to do it!" King Huo Long remained expressionless.
Zhou Dao was silent, he looked up, maybe the truth was not important to King Huo Long at that time... no, it was no longer important.
"I ran to the ruins like crazy, and found Ayao's body among the ruins!"
Speaking of this, King Huo Long paused for a while: "I have gone through countless times, step by step, life and death, and when I get to that point, I can't even protect the love in my heart, and what I wait for is endless regrets."
That day, King Huo Long sat on the ruins holding the charred corpse for three days and three nights.
Three days later, he buried A Yao's body in a cave, sealed it with a talisman, and then returned to the capital, just like a normal person, and never mentioned it to anyone.
I thought that the future and the past would be nothing more than regrets in my heart, until I discovered this painting "The Hundred Solutions of Demon Refining".
"He Po is transformed from the soul of an old friend, and is guided by longing, human corpses, the hearts of virgins and boys, the skin of Sha Nu, and the flesh and blood of the real world..." King Huo Long said coldly.
For him, the appearance of "Refining Demons and Hundred Solutions" is a good medicine to make up for the regrets in his heart.
What's more, according to the above records, once [He Po] is practiced, it can even retain the memory of its life.
Ever since he obtained this strange book, King Huo Long seemed to have planted a demon in his mind. Although he knew the disadvantages of refining demons, the thought lingered in his heart and could not be dispelled.
Finally, that year he broke through the Nine Transformations and stepped into the [True Realm].
"You did it after all!?" Zhou Dao frowned and said in a deep voice.
"People, when they are born, they have obsessions." King Huo Long sighed softly.
"I have practiced half my life, stepping into the real world, and achieved supreme achievements. If I can't even get what I love in my heart, then what's the point of practicing? How is the ability of emptying this body different from ordinary people!?"
After King Huo Long stepped into the [True Realm], he couldn't wait to refine [He Po], and after three years of hard work, he finally made it. The old A Yao seemed to have returned.
"My lord, I heard that Mrs. Zun died not long after you stepped into the real world." Zhou Dao said suddenly.
King Huo Long looked up at him deeply, and said lightly: "Young man, you are thinking too much. My wife died of illness, and there is no other reason."
Zhou Dao nodded when he heard the words, and didn't ask any more questions. He felt that King Huo Long didn't lie, and there was no need to lie to him.
"After Ah Yao came back, it was the same as before. The old dreams were revisited, and my knots were also untied, but..."
"Anomaly is a monster, how could it be the same as back then?" Zhou Dao said coldly.
Huo Longwang nodded: "You are right, as time goes on, her demon nature will be revealed."
"The monsters like He Po are different from other monsters. They use human longevity as their food. The more they are suppressed, the more ferocious they become. She even attacked me once."
"The method of refining demons is inherently vicious and evil." Zhou Dao said in a deep voice.
These monsters are like wild beasts. Predation is an instinct. Once the instinct is suppressed, the original ferocity will be exposed.
Just like some people take pleasure in raising tigers and wolves and try to tame them, but they don’t know how these beasts will get close to you once they don’t have enough to eat, and they just treat you as a backup food.
"In order to prevent her from being evil and hurting others, I let her suck my life essence these years." King Huo Long revealed his biggest secret.
When Zhou Dao heard the words, he felt a state of mind.
"No wonder you are a dignified real-world powerhouse, and you are approaching your deadline at this age."
The limit of the nine-transformation powerhouse is one hundred and twenty years old. Once they break through and reach the real realm, their lifespan will increase.
It stands to reason that King Huo Long is in his prime and still has a few years to live. How could he be so short-lived?
Now, everything is explained.
"It's not entirely because of her." Huo Longwang waved his hand and did not continue this topic.
"My lord, after talking so much, what exactly do you want me to do?" Zhou Dao asked the doubts in his heart.
"I want you to help me kill her." King Huo Long said calmly.
"Kill her?" Zhou Dao frowned, he really couldn't understand the thoughts of the number one expert in Lin'an Mansion.
"I'm old and will die soon. I can't leave this hidden danger behind. Besides, I don't want to leave Ayao alone to suffer in this world." King Huo Long sighed weakly.
Under the candlelight, he seemed to be ten years older in an instant.
"You are a real powerhouse, it shouldn't be difficult to kill her."
King Huo Long shook his head: "The deadline is approaching, I can no longer make a move, otherwise how could she escape from my control?"
"Besides... I can't shoot her either."
"If you help me kill her and bring her back, I will definitely reward you handsomely." King Huo Long's eyes glowed brightly.
"That was the biggest opportunity of my life..."
"Why me?" Zhou Dao asked unmoved.
"You have some fate with this opportunity, and other people can't do it."
King Huo Long said softly, according to his estimation, the three major military guards may not be able to take down [He Po] together, but it will cause extra problems.
"Besides, a few days ago, Ayao had already set her sights on you. Although you killed her chanu, as long as she set her sights on the prey, she would definitely not go away."
King Huo Long looked at the night outside the window: "Maybe, she has already come to the door by this time."
"Hahaha, Mr. Fu Si, you really know how to joke." Zhou Dao couldn't help laughing.
Just because he beheaded Cha Nv, even if the other party held grudges, they must be cautious. How could they come to the New Moon Guild Hall in person?
How can there be such an arrogant and fearless monster.
"I need your answer." King Huo Long cut to the chase.
Looking at the night outside the window, Zhou Dao fell into deep thought.
"What opportunities can I get?"
...
The full moon falls in the west, and the night wind howls.
Outside the Xinyue Bieyuan, a figure came slowly, it was the ugly woman that Zhou Dao and Long Ao had hurriedly met that day.
"The Wandering Soul of Sha Nv, ordinary masters can't kill her, I'm here today to see what kind of person is hiding here." The ugly woman sneered.
"Mistress, after all, this is the territory of Yuyaosi, do you really want to do it yourself?" The woman in black said respectfully beside her.
"So what about Yu Yaosi?" The ugly woman's eyes filled with evil spirit.
"Today, level this place!!!"
The cold voice echoed in the moonlit night.
