Big Moon Ballad

Chapter 2520 Torture

The man in blue stared into Song Zhai's eyes silently. The room was eerily quiet.

With a cracking sound, Song Zhai turned around suddenly.

It turned out that the wooden bolt supporting the window sill was broken, and the wooden window fell down with a snap.

He stood up and walked to the window and closed it. He looked out at the dark night and smiled, "It looks like it's going to rain."

The man in blue stared at his back, his dark eyes so dark that they seemed to be filled with mist. "Are you really a human being?"

It's almost too smart to be human.

"I am indeed a mortal," Song Zhai lowered his head and patted his fat belly, smiling helplessly, "Perhaps it is because of my low realm that I can live until now."

  When Emperor Taizu created the levels of spiritual practice, he said that the higher the level of the practitioner, the longer they would live. But what is the reality?

Among the eight gods, only a handful of them actually had a good ending.

Lin Shubai and Lin Baoyue died young, Xu Canghai lost all his power, Dongfang Yi retreated, the mountain ghost could not come down the mountain, and Yun Zhongjun turned into that ghost.

"Heaven is indeed fair," the man in green looked deeply into Song Zhai's eyes, "People like you have too many thoughts in your mind and cannot reach the top."

"I understand," Song Zhai smiled, "I just hope that the people around me can be safe and happy."

Just as Ji Jiashu was surprised by his behavior, few people could understand his style of doing things.

But that's just how he is.

He doesn't want the throne, doesn't want to be a national teacher, and doesn't want to be a high-level practitioner.

It was Lin Shubai's business who she liked and what kind of man she was willing to give birth to. He admired her as a person and pitied her situation. Giving birth was not fair to women, so he was willing to do his best to protect her when she was vulnerable.

Lin Baoyue has no father or mother and has been hunted since childhood. This continent is not fair to her, but she is willing to do everything she can to protect this world.

They protected the world, and he chose to protect them.

The man in blue looked at Song Zhai, speechless.

"It's rare to find a practitioner like you."

Practitioners are beings who plunder resources only to improve their own realm. The law of the jungle and selfishness are their instincts.

"Well, I know a lot of people like this," Song Zhai smiled.

He did not give the Azure Dragon God a chance to change the subject. His eyes became sharp and he asked, "Since you did not deny it, does that prove that my guess is true?"

Song Zhai originally thought that Ying Baoyue first met Li Ji nine years ago, and when she sealed the Azure Dragon God, the soul of the Azure Dragon God was still in a dormant state in Li Ji's body.

Otherwise, Ying Baoyue would not have been able to fail to notice the existence of another soul in Li Ji's body.

But now it seems that things may not be that simple.

It is very likely that He had already awakened when Ying Baoyue sealed the Azure Dragon God.

even……

Song Zhai felt a little trembling in his heart. It was even possible that the Azure Dragon God had awakened earlier than Ying Baoyue and little Li Ji met.

Nine years ago, he was one of the few people who knew about the encounter between the two in the Cloud Forest.

When Lin Shubai was shocked to find that Lin Baoyue sacrificed half of his own power to save a strange boy, and that this boy actually had the Azure Dragon God in his body, he came to Zhong Tang specifically to discuss this matter with him.

After all, this encounter was so bizarre that even the knowledgeable Da Siming couldn't help but feel at a loss.

"How much do you know?"

The blue-clothed man's eyes became more dangerous, and he looked coldly into Song Zhai's eyes, "What did Lin Shubai say to you?"

"Shubai is just worried about Baoyue," Song Zhai said frankly, "She thinks Li Ji's appearance is not an accident, and this child will hurt her."

This is a euphemism; to be precise, it could kill her.

Song Zhai could understand Lin Shubai's worries. How could a little boy who was alone and without any realm run into the Cloud Forest, and just happened to meet Lin Baoyue before he was killed? When they first met, Lin Baoyue was willing to sacrifice half of her realm to save him...

Any normal high-level practitioner would think this was a conspiracy.

According to what Yun Zhongjun said as relayed by Ji Jiashu, this seemed to be a conspiracy designed by the Zen temple.

But Song Zhai didn't think the matter was that simple.

Although Yun Zhongjun boasted about himself to the skies, Song Zhai did not think that he had such great power to use the Azure Dragon God as a chess piece.

If the soul of the Azure Dragon God was not sleeping in Li Ji's body from the beginning to the end, then was the encounter between little Li Ji and Lin Baoyue dominated by the Azure Dragon God?

When the Azure Dragon God perished, Lin Baoyue was only about ten years old. She was too young to have had direct contact with the Four Heavenly Spirits. But as a cultivator of the highest natural rank, the Azure Dragon God should have known of her existence.

What's more... they might have seen each other on the battlefield.

Is there a possibility that the Azure Dragon God knew Baoyue earlier than the young Li Ji back then?

Faced with Song Zhai's question, the man in blue fell silent again.

He found that even though the other party was trembling all over under his pressure, he was still staring at his eyes tenaciously, as if he would not give up until he got the answer.

"Why should I tell you?"

He said coldly, "Why do you have to know? Aren't you afraid that I will kill you?"

Song Zhai's obsession with this issue is no longer just curiosity, it has reached the point of risking his life.

"Heart disease needs heart medicine to cure it," Song Zhai sighed, "The reason why Baoyue has become so weak is not just because she has exhausted her body too much during this journey."

"You should know this better than anyone else, right?"

Song Zhai stared into the eyes of the Azure Dragon God. "During this journey, you used the Azure Dragon Spirit in Baoyue's body to force her to sleep all the time. Did you cure her weakness?"

The man in blue clenched his fists under his sleeves and stared at Song Zhai without saying a word.

Sure enough, a guess in Song Zhai's mind was verified again.

What Ji Jiashu said about Ying Baoyue sleeping deeper and deeper on the way and even having difficulty waking up was indeed the work of the Azure Dragon God.

"Her body has rested long enough, but it still hasn't fully recovered," Song Zhai took a deep breath, "You were the one who put her to sleep at first, but later on you should have realized that she gradually didn't want to wake up, right?"

The blue-clothed man's pupils contracted violently, and he suddenly looked up at Song Zhai.

"It seems I guessed right again."

Song Zhai smiled bitterly. With Ying Baoyue's personality, if she really wanted to stay awake, she would struggle to wake up even if the gods forced her to sleep.

The reason why Ying Baoyue suddenly became so seriously ill was that there was something wrong on the mental level.

She wasn't so fragile that she couldn't accept the death of her companion, but the current situation was too strange.

Ying Baoyue didn't want to wake up. Because once she woke up, she would not only have to face the death of her lover, but also face a person who looked like the one she loved, but was not the one she loved.

this is too scary.

It is simply an inhuman torture.

But the Azure Dragon God had just asked him and Ji Jiashu to call him Li Ji, which made Song Zhai's scalp tingle.

"I will ask for an answer even if I risk my life," Song Zhai looked directly into the eyes of the god and asked seriously, "Has Li Ji's human soul completely disappeared? Can he come back?"

Song Zhai looked more serious than ever before.

If the Li Ji that Ying Baoyue knew is really gone, then the Azure Dragon God must leave Ying Baoyue and never meet her again.

Otherwise it would only increase her pain and make her heart never at peace.
