Ghostly Tomb

Chapter 379
"Is there anything you're interested in in this library?" Chen Zhi smiled lightly and looked at Ji Ying's face, which was as gorgeous as the morning glow.

"Of course," Ji Ying replied simply.

"It is said that there are many extreme warriors in the age of mythology who have practiced their physical skills to the extreme. They left their secrets of physical training in those classics. Every warrior hopes to go in and see what's going on. In fact, many warriors also I once tried to break in, but they were all turned into ashes. Without the permission of your Jiang clan leader, anyone who trespassed will be wiped out in ashes.

"yes?",
Chen Zhi suddenly felt that what Ji Ying said was very interesting, he took a step back and said, "Then I will invite you in now, come here!"

Ji Ying's eyes flickered for a moment, and she took a tentative step forward, but she retracted as soon as she touched the boundary of the light, raised her head and looked at Chen Zhi with a chuckle.

"Little patriarch, don't tempt me."

"Hehe! Why don't you come in? Didn't you just say that every samurai of you dreams of entering Jiang's library? Come in! Here are the physical secrets you want",
Chen Zhi was still standing behind the light boundary, talking to Ji Ying in the dark, with a smile on his face.

"Of course I want to go in, no one would want to go in," Ji Ying raised her head to meet Chen Zhi's face, and said simply,
"But I'm just a samurai, that's not where I should go, and you can't really let me in, please don't tempt me anymore, I'm afraid I'll lose myself."

"Very good!" Chen Zhi said as if joking, but his eyes were full of seriousness.

"If you really know that you are just a warrior, then stop calling me little patriarch!".

After hearing Chen Zhi's words, Ji Ying froze for a moment, glanced at Chen Zhi, then smiled, bowed and saluted,
"Ji Ying spoke frivolously just now. Please forgive me, the patriarch. The leader ordered me to wait for you here. If there is something to discuss, please follow me to the royal court."

"it is good!",
Chen Zhi was very satisfied with Ji Ying's current attitude. He nodded slightly and walked down the mountain.

Ji Ying was very obedient at this time. He walked with Chen Zhi, leaning back slightly, showing the identity of Chen Zhi in front of her. Her hair was very long, and it was all tied behind her without a bun. The cold wind in the mountains was blowing Her long hair, fluttering inadvertently, touched Chen Zhi's arm.

Ji Ying's hair was very soft, as soft as freshly spun silk, gently caressing Chen Zhi's arm.

Perhaps it was due to the unique environment in the mountain, but Chen Zhi actually had an illusion that this beautiful woman was actually not that scary, and even had some softness. Under the moonlight, Ji Ying's peerless face was really beautiful. It's too hard to look directly at.

"You told me before that some people said that you will eventually go to the hell of the sword mountain. Who on earth has the courage to say such a thing in front of the female Hades?" Chen Zhi walked down the mountain and made a decision. He asked Ji Ying with a casual smile.

Ji Ying was a little conflicted when she heard this question, and after a long silence, she said in a cold and low tone.

"It seems that Bao Ping has already mentioned me to you, so he should have told you that I have a lot of killing debts in my hands, right?

Chen Zhi turned his head to look at Ji Ying, seeing her pure face at a close distance made people feel pity. It was hard to imagine how such a terrible title as Female Hades would fall on such an ice-like jade. woman.

"Yes, he talked about you and said that you... have killed many people, so I don't think anyone dares to curse you in front of your face, and you will go to hell!"

"Hehehe!" Ji Ying smiled softly, her voice was as clear as spring water in a mountain.

"You're right. They're not human anymore, but they've always been there, whispering in my ear every night. After they died, they never left me."

"You mean...the people you killed will come to you at night? Ghosts?" Chen Zhi looked at the woman in front of him in disbelief, and it was hard to imagine that such words would come from her mouth.

"Maybe! I don't know," Ji Ying lowered her eyes and said softly,
"But when I close my eyes at night, they will always appear in front of my eyes. Every time I fall under my knife, one more of them will appear. There are too many of them, densely packed, and they always appear in front of my eyes. In the dark, before I fall asleep, I will have a very strange feeling, this feeling is very uncomfortable, it will keep me awake, I don’t know what this feeling is called.”

"Then what did they say to you? Will they attack you together?" Chen Zhi asked.

"No!" Ji Ying shook her head lightly, "They didn't move, they were still the same as when I killed them, they stood densely together, whispering and telling me that they will wait for me in the knife mountain hell."

"...",
Chen Zhi stopped in his tracks and looked directly at Ji Ying,

"If this is the case, then why do you continue to kill? Killing is, in essence, definitely a crime."

"Hehe!" Ji Ying laughed lightly, "Your Majesty the patriarch, you should understand this question. We warriors never kill people, we just follow orders. And...you should know better than me that there are some things, more important than our own lives."

Facing Ji Ying's answer, Chen Zhi was speechless. The image of this woman in front of him was completely different at this time. She was a very strong but fragile person. Compared with her, Chen Zhi suddenly I feel very small, and I don't know what to say for a while.

"I know what that feeling that makes you sleepless at night is called," Chen Zhi looked at Ji Ying's dark and red eyes and said, "That feeling is called - fear."

When hearing this sentence, Ji Ying's eyes looked at Chen Zhi like two black pearls, shining in the night.

"come over!"

Chen Zhi stretched out a hand to Ji Ying, "Let me show you what a real illusion is."

Ji Ying froze for a moment, then handed Chen Zhi her hand not shyly.

Chen Zhi held Ji Ying's hand, using the air flow in his left hand, silently recited the Rejuvenation Mantra he had just recited, and tapped lightly on a withered and petrified tree in front of him.

In an instant, the big tree burst out its branches from the soil, stood up again, sprouted green new shoots, and then blossomed and bear fruit. Clusters of fruits were like gems, and countless colorful butterflies flew out of the leaves. , Flying around the big tree, on the lifeless back mountain, a contrasting color of spring suddenly rose, which was very wonderful.

"is it beautiful?",
Chen Zhi looked at Ji Ying beside him and asked, the dead people you see are actually hallucinations just like these things. They are produced by your own guilt, but hallucinations are only temporary. The thinking in life is an illusion. After death, everything disappears. There is no such thing as death, and there is no hell.

So...don't be afraid"
