40|Extremely Happy Place with the Emperor and the Immortal Music 2
by Jessie@AFNCCI don’t know if it was an illusion, but Xie Ren felt that Hua Cheng’s shoulders seemed to stiffen for a moment. After a short while, he said with a normal demeanor, “I told you. The next time I see you again, I will use my original face.”
Xie Ren guffawed and said heartily, “It’s quite good.”
Neither flirtation, nor relief, naturally. Hua Cheng smiled, this time, the look is really as usual. The two walked a few steps, Xie Ren suddenly remembered a very important thing, will chest that silver chain removed, said: “right, this, is not you stay?”
Hua Cheng glanced at the ring and smiled, “It’s for you.”
Xie Ren said, “What is this?”
Hua Cheng said, “It’s not anything valuable, just bring it with you for fun.”
Although he said so, Xie Ren knew that this thing was bound to be expensive, and said, “Then thank you, Sanlang.”
Seeing him put the ring back on, Hua Cheng’s eyes flickered. Xie Ren looked around and said, “When I heard you say that you wanted to come to the Joy Lounge in the gambling house, I thought that the Joy Lounge was some kind of fireworks place. In this case, it seems to be a place of dance and music.”
Hua Cheng raised an eyebrow and said, “What are you saying brother, but I never go to a place of fireworks.”
This is to teach Xie Ren Qi, said: “Really?”
Hua Cheng said, “Naturally true.” The two of them walked to the side of the ink jade collapse and sat down side by side, he added: “This place is what I have repaired for fun, it’s considered as one of the residences, when I have time to come and hang out, but when I don’t, I don’t care.”
Xie Ren said, “So it’s your home.”
Instead, Flower City corrected, “Residence. Not home.”
Xie Ren said, “What’s the difference?”
Flower City said, “Of course there is. There are family members at home. A place where one person lives is not called home.”
When Xie Ren heard this, his heart was slightly touched. In that case, he hadn’t had anything like “home” for over 800 years. Although Hua Cheng’s face did not look lonely, Xie Ren felt that they might be similar. He also heard Hua Cheng say: “If it is a home, even a small place like Bodhi Shepherd’s Guan, it is still a thousand times better than this Joyful Place of mine.”
Xie Ren thought deeply and laughed, “Sanlang is actually a person of the most sincere nature. However, you actually compared the Bodhi Shepherd’s Guan to this place, it really shames me.”
Hua Cheng haha said, “What is there to be ashamed of? Truth be told, although brother’s Bodhi Shepherd’s Guan is small, I feel much more comfortable than this Extreme Bliss Place of mine. It’s more like a home.”
Xie Ren said in a warm voice: ”Is that so? Then if you don’t mind, if you want to go sometime in the future, go and stay there. The doors of my Bodhi Shepherd’s Guan are always open for you.”
Hua Cheng arched his eyebrows and said, “Brother, this is what you said, then I will respectfully follow your order. Don’t mind me in the future.”
Xie Ren said, “No, no! By the way, Sanlang, there’s something I might need to ask you for, I don’t know if you’re free?”
Flower City said, “What is it? At my place, if something comes up, just say it.”
Xie Ren said, “After dealing with some matters at Mount Wujun before, I met a teenager who may have some affinity with my former country.”
Hua Cheng narrowed his eyes and remained silent. Xie Ren continued, ”That teenager ran away in shock, and after searching for a long time and not finding him, Fang just walked around this ghost market of yours before realizing that he actually ran here. Sanlang is the owner of this place, I wonder if you could help me look for him? That teenager’s face is wrapped in bindings, and he just escaped from in front of the door of this Extreme Joy Place.”
Hua Cheng laughed, “Alright. Brother don’t worry, just wait.”
Xie Ren breathed a sigh of relief and said, “It’s really thanks to you again.”
Hua Cheng said, “That’s nothing. But you just left Lang Qianqiu behind?”
Xie Ren thought to himself, if Lang Qianqiu is there, straight head, it’s really hard to say what will happen again, it’s better to rendezvous afterward. He casually said, “Just now in the gambling house, His Highness Tai Hua caused you trouble, sorry.”
That smile with a hint of contempt appeared on Hua Cheng’s face again and said, “Where is it. He’s qualified enough to count for any trouble.”
Xie Ren said, “He smashed the things …… that he smashed,” Hua Cheng laughed, “For the sake of my brother, the things that are smashed are not looking for him to settle accounts. Don’t come waving in front of my eyes, let him spin around on his own.”
Xie Ren wondered, “Sanlang, you don’t care when there are Magi wandering around in your territory?” Could it be that Flower City was really this emboldened?
Flower City laughed, “This you don’t know. Brother, this place of mine, although it is said that everyone in the three worlds says it is a hell of turbulence, a swarm of demons, in fact, everyone wants to come and hang around. That is, many of your heavenly magistrates, on the surface pretending to disdain and spit on, but privately have any hooks are quietly disguised to do here, I have seen a lot. I don’t care if you don’t make trouble, but if you do, you’ll get it all in one pot.”
Xie Ren said, “His Highness Tai Hua didn’t intend to cause trouble, he just saw that kind of gambling and felt that it had to be stopped, and he was impulsive.”
Hua Cheng said in a faint voice, “That is because he has seen too little. To choose the latter without hesitation between letting himself live for ten more years and letting his enemy live for ten less years, this is a human being.” After saying that, he hugged his arms again and said, “For a fool like Lang Qianqiu to be able to ascend, there is truly no one in the Heavenly Realm.”
Xie Ren rubbed his brow with a bit of weakness, thinking, “Words can’t be said like that ah, after all, this kind of …… me has also ascended three times it ……”
After hesitating for a moment, he added, “Sanlang, the next words may be a bit over the top, but I’ll say one more thing. That gambling house of yours, it’s very dangerous, will something happen to it?”
This kind of betting on the life span and violent death of a child is really very sinful. Moreover, it was fine if it was small, but in case the gamble became too big one day, sooner or later, the Heavenly Realm would not be able to stand by and watch. Hearing this, Hua Cheng looked at him and said, “Your Highness, have you asked Lang Qianqiu why he rushed out?”
Xie Ren was slightly stunned, not knowing why he suddenly asked this. Hua Cheng added, “I guess, he must have told you that if he didn’t do this, no one else would do this.”
He actually guessed extremely accurately, apparently seeing through Lang Qianqiu as a person. Xie Ren said, “He did say that.”
Flower City said, “Then, I am the complete opposite. If I don’t take control of a place like this, there will still be another person to take control. Instead of being in control of someone else, it would be better to be in control of me.”
Xie Ren, who always knew how to get along, nodded and said, “I understand.”
It seemed that although Hua Cheng was a man of nature, he cared more about the power he could control in his hands than he thought. Again, he heard Hua Cheng say, “Still, thank you for your brother’s concern.”
At that moment, a man outside the door said, “City Lord, we found and brought it.”
Xie Ren looked towards the doorway, only to see that the Lower Sine Moon Envoy standing beyond the beaded curtain, bowing slightly. And what he was grasping in his hand was none other than that bandaged teenager in rags.
Without looking back, Hua Cheng said, “Bring it here.”
The Lower String Moon Ambassador then carried the teenager and walked in, placing him gently on the ground. Xie Ren couldn’t help but look at his wrist again to make sure that there was really a spell shackle, but the other party retreated with a bow, there were people who needed his attention more at the moment. Xie Ren preempted the teenager and said, “Don’t be afraid. I was wrong last time, it will never happen again.”
That teenager had a pair of big eyes in shock and disbelief. Perhaps he didn’t have the strength to run anymore, or perhaps he knew that he couldn’t run away, and looked at him, and then looked at the small case on the ink and jade couch. Xie Ren followed his gaze, only to see a plate of brightly colored fruit on the small case. It was thought that this teenager had been hiding for a long time and had not eaten for many days. Xie Ren turned to Hua Cheng, and before he could speak, Hua Cheng said, “Feel free. No need to ask me.”
Xie Ren couldn’t be bothered to be polite and said, “Many thanks.” Bringing the plate of fruit over, he handed it to the bandaged teenager. That teenager snatched the plate at once and started to stuff it into his mouth in one gulp.
It seemed that he was really hungry. Even when Xie Ren was the most desperate and hungry like a wild dog, he may not have eaten as much as he did. Xie Ren said, “Slow down.” After a pause, he tried to ask, “What’s your name?”
The teenager ate while vaguely seeming to want to speak, but just couldn’t speak clearly. Hua Cheng said, “He probably hasn’t talked to anyone in many years and doesn’t speak much.”
Indeed, it seemed that this teenager hadn’t even said a few words to Xiaoying, so he was afraid that it would have been like this for a long time. Xie Ren sighed, “Take your time.”
A plate of fruits has all been eaten up by him like a windstorm. Xie Ren saw that the bandages on his face were stained with blood, black and red, pondered for a moment, and said in a warm voice, “You you have a wound on your face, it seems to be very serious, let me take a look at it for you.”
As soon as this was mentioned, the youngster’s eyes showed fear again. However, Xie Ren had been persuading him in a gentle voice, so he obediently sat down. Xie Ren took out a bottle of medicinal powder from his sleeve, and slowly moved his hands to untie the bandage that was tied in a messy manner.
As expected, the teenager’s face, although it was already a bloody mess, those horrifying human faces had all disappeared, leaving only a succession of bright red scars.
The last time he met with Jun Shan, although he had burns on his face, there wasn’t this much blood on his bandages. This teenager really did use the knife again later, to cut or slash the human faces left behind by those human face epidemics.
Xie Ren’s hands were shaking slightly while applying the medicinal powder to this teenager’s face. At this time, Hua Cheng held his wrist and said, “I’ll do it.”
Xie Ren shook her head and gently broke away from his hand, saying in a deep voice, “No need. I’ll do it myself.”
Eight hundred years ago in the Immortal Bliss Imperial City, many people who were infected with the human face epidemic were desperate and chose to do so. The sight was truly a hell on earth. Some of them made a mistake and cut their knives to places they shouldn’t have and bled to death. Some had their faces removed, but the wounds never healed.
And Xie Ren layer by layer wrapped a new bandage on him, more and more found that this teenager’s face and features are actually very upright, the nose is straight, eyes are even more black and white, originally should be a handsome teenage boy, but now it is such a breathtaking appearance.
He is also the same as those people, even after cutting away those deformed human faces, this is still a face that makes people have nightmares when they look at it, and after that, they can never recover their original face.
Xie Ren easily rewound a new bandage for him, and only then said in a trembling voice: “Are you …… a Xianle countryman?”
The teenager’s big eyes looked over. Xie Ren asked again, but he shook his head.
Xie Ren said, “Then what exactly are you?”
The teenager strained to reply, “…… Yongan!”
The Sphinx Epidemic, which had only broken out in the Immortal Bliss Country. But this teenager, surprisingly, was from the Yongan Kingdom!
Xie Ren’s eyes went black and he said offhandedly, “Have you seen the White Clothes Scourge?”
The White Scourge. The source of the plague. The sign of bad luck.
He was the nightmare of the last generation of the Immortal Gods of the Heavens before the Blood Rain Tantrum came into existence. If Jun Wu hadn’t personally exterminated him, I’m afraid that this nightmare would have to continue to this day.
This “Jedi” always wears a snow-white funeral dress with big sleeves and a sad face.
The so-called sad and happy face is a mask with the right half of the face crying and the left half of the face laughing, seemingly happy or sad. Whenever he is seen in any place, it means that the world is about to be in chaos in that place.
In the final battle, Xie Ren stood on top of the Citadel of Xian Le Imperial City, with a face of black ash and a face full of tears, blankly overlooking below. In a blurred field of vision, the only thing that was clear was a white silhouette standing amidst the corpses and corpses outside the city, his large sleeves fluttering. Xie Ren looked down at him, and the white apparition looked up as well, looking towards Xie Ren and waving his hand at him.
That sad and happy face was a nightmare that still lingered in Xie Ren’s mind hundreds of years later.
