Age of Heroes, ten consecutive guarantees.

Chapter 914: The Watcher Walks in the Abyss, the Destroyer Sit on the Sea of ​​Stars (6k2)

Strictly speaking, this was Bai Yu's third time meeting Luo Hou.

The first was in the reflection of the Dragon Vein Realm, the second was on the shore of the East China Sea, and the third was in the Beiming family in the capital.

Such an extremely dangerous leader of the Ten Evils actually showed up at a buffet dinner, and wolfed down his food like a homeless person... He really didn't fit the definition given to him by the world.

But Bai Yu knew Luo Hou's past.

Not only did he know Luohu's past, but he also inherited his archery skills. Even the power of time he used after canonizing his soul came from the Luohu in front of him.

Therefore, Bai Yu did die at the hands of Luohou once, but he did not have much hatred or prejudice towards Luohou in his heart.

Because compared to the life he lost, he gained more from Luohu.

In addition, Bai Yu has now been canonized as a saint, so he is confident that he can have a fair fight with Luohou.

Therefore, at this moment, he might be one of the few people in the whole Daxia who can sit in front of Luohou calmly.

Bai Yu picked up the wine jug and poured wine for the other person, looking at him calmly. The entire banquet venue was cleaned up, leaving only two people at the last table, and only one light was still bright.

Normally, this should have been the time when mosquitoes were flying around, but there wasn't even a single bug or moth within a hundred meters. The bright lights did not attract any moths to fly into the fire, and they didn't dare to come near even though they didn't know what fear was.

"How much time do we have left?" Bai Yu asked bluntly.

Luo Hou picked up the wine glass and drank it all. Then he glanced at Bai Yu and repeated two words: "We?"

There was a hint of sarcasm and coldness in his voice.

Bai Yu nodded disapprovingly: "What's the problem?"

"You actually think that I'm on your side?" Luo Hou took a bite of the chicken leg and chewed it with a stuttering sound: "You died at my hands once, you're really too brave."

Bai Yu touched his chin and smiled faintly: "To be able to deceive the greatest man of all time and escape from his hands is a victory for me. If it is appropriate, I would even like to write it into my autobiography and make it famous. In the next few hundred years, people will know that I have such a great achievement."

He didn't care at all when he mentioned this matter and was in a very good mood.

This was indeed the case. Bai Yu saved Huang Qixia. This was the only time in the past thousand years that Luohou had failed. His arrows could even send the Demon Ancestor away and force him to split into three. However, this was concealed by a young man who had not yet been canonized.

"To you, this may be an achievement, but to this world, your existence is a disaster." Luohou spat out the bone, took the bottle, poured a glass of wine, raised his head to drink it, and exhaled heavily: "If it weren't for you, the evil woman would have returned to reincarnation, and today's events wouldn't have to come to this point. The world can still have another 500 years of life."

Bai Yu was not sure: "You have been in charge of Taiyin Demon Realm for a long time, so you naturally don't know the disputes in the world. If you think that as long as you kill Nu Xie and guard Taiyin Demon Realm, everything will be safe, then you are totally wrong. This is too much to underestimate Tai Sui and Demon Ancestor."

"After all, you are the leader of the Ten Evils and cannot interfere in Daxia's internal affairs. In a thousand years, Tai Sui has already infiltrated Daxia like a sieve. If he is given another five hundred years, he can even send troops to Taiyin Demon Realm to label you and your followers as heretics and eliminate them. He can then sit back and reap the benefits without bloodshed."

He tapped his forehead: "Have you ever thought about what price you will have to pay if you really kill me and Huang Qixia? Even if you are the best in the world, you can't really go against everyone in the world. With your approach, can you really buy yourself another 500 years?"

Luohou picked up a piece of braised pork and bit off, saying calmly, "Thousands of years ago, I was also a scholar. Although I was born in a peasant family, I also understood many principles. I read Confucianism, the Spring and Autumn Annals, and the Records of the Grand Historian. The teacher who taught me to read was highly respected in the village. It is said that his ancestors had been prime ministers. He himself was also determined to pass the imperial examinations and achieve the three immortals... Then he died, and turned into ashes together with my hometown. A lonely soul with nowhere to rest. He did not die as a minister, and he could not even leave the village and go to the court."

“That’s when I realized one thing.”

"Reasoning cannot be expressed in words."

“No matter how great the truth is, you must have a knife in your hand and a sword in your heart, so that people in the world will listen to your truth… Even if you are unreasonable, the other party will take the initiative to give in.”

Luohou raised his eyes and said: "I have been doing this for thousands of years. Because my arrows have never missed, my reason is greater. Now if you want to talk to me about reason, you should not use your mouth, but show your fist."

Bai Yu couldn't help but laugh: "Isn't it enough that I treated you to a drink?"

"Aren't all these drinks and food free?" Luohou said.

"It's food, but not wine." Bai Yu shook his head: "These are all good wines brought from Zhonghu. Sister Daxia only brews twenty jars every year, and five of them belong to me."

Luohou glanced at the wine bottle in his hand, and without using a cup, he blew a big sip directly into the bottle. He drank half the bottle before exhaling a breath of alcohol.

"It's great... I guess with my reputation, I'll never have the chance to enjoy the national wine in my lifetime."

"As long as you surrender, not only one bottle of wine, but also ten thousand bottles."

"Although the wine is good, you shouldn't drink too much." Luo Hou continued to eat meat, but his movements slowed down a bit. "You hid Huang Qixia in the middle lake, and there were six or seven canonized saints guarding her. There were three canonized saints protecting her all year round. No matter how confident I am, I can't be sure to kill her within three arrows."

"It's better to give up early." Bai Yu said slowly: "I won't give you the chance to kill her."

Luo Hou ignored the threat in this sentence, and answered the previous question instead: "The amount of time depends on what we do next... Tai Sui has seized Wu Penglai's body, so he has the power to threaten you and me, but he is afraid and dare not take action. But this balance will be broken sooner or later, and..."

He pointed his chopsticks toward the sky and said, "One party can't wait any longer."

Bai Yu was a little surprised and said, "It's because you, Luo Hou, are a reckless man who kills people without blinking an eye. I didn't expect you to know so much and be so rational."

"Because I don't like to reason with people, simple, complex, about the court, the underworld, the world... There are too many reasons, and I can't finish talking about them for days and nights. I just shoot it out with one arrow, and everything is empty."

Luo Hou glanced at Bai Yu with a playful look in his eyes: "In the past thousand years, you are the only one who is qualified to sit at the same table with me. Others cannot hear what I say, not because I am crazy, but because they are not qualified."

Bai Yu understood: "Nations that are not members of the five permanent members do not deserve to be at the table."

"?"

"Just talking to yourself." Bai Yu said jokingly, "If I had come a thousand years earlier, you might not have dared to speak to me so loudly."

Luo Hou didn't mind this arrogant remark, and said calmly: "Then the person guarding Taiyin Demon Realm will be you, and I can relax a lot."

"I don't have that kind of perseverance." Bai Yu shook his head: "Besides, in my opinion, it's better to open up than to block."

"What do you mean?" Luo Hou raised his eyebrows.

Bai Yu only focused on asking himself: "If the Demon Ancestor revives, will you win?"

Luo Hou sneered, picked up a dumpling, which was steaming hot with thin skin and lots of meat, and swallowed it in one gulp: "It was just luck that I defeated the Demon Ancestor that year. My arrow was called a burial, but it was actually reincarnation. There is only one chance to win with a surprise attack."

Bai Yu asked again: "What about the outer gods?"

"I haven't tried it, so I don't know. But it and the Demon Ancestor are intertwined. The Demon Ancestor has taken precautions, so it's impossible for it not to have any." Luo Hou ate seven or eight dumplings in one breath, and then began to chew slowly: "Once the Demon Ancestor is resurrected and the Outer Gods come, everything will end. Neither you nor I can stop the coming of the great trend."

"Are they really that strong?" Bai Yu tapped the table with his fingers: "Don't they have any weaknesses at all?"

Luohou didn't even bother to pay attention to this sentence.

Killing foreign gods and demon ancestors, how much must one drink to ask such a question?

He grabbed a handful of peanuts and threw them into Bai Yu's bowl - if there was only one peanut, he wouldn't have said so many drunken words.

Bai Yu changed his mind: "It seems that we can only kill Tai Sui first."

"Tai Sui cannot be killed." Luo Hou suddenly dropped a bombshell: "Why do you think I didn't get rid of it?"

"Can't be killed?" Bai Yu raised his eyebrows: "It's just one of its incarnations. You just haven't caught it for thousands of years. Could it be that the Demon Ancestor has thousands of hearts?"

"What you see may not be true." Luo Hou shook his head and said, "If there really was a way to get rid of Tai Sui, I would have done it long ago."

"It has obtained Wu Penglai's body. The thousand-year plan has come to an end. It is impossible for it not to take action next." Bai Yu said bluntly: "This may be a good opportunity. Whether it can kill Tai Sui or not, we will know after trying it once."

Luo Hou ate his dumplings and said slowly, "I agree with your idea, but do you think you are stronger than Tai Sui now? The heart of Demon Ancestor and the body of Wu Penglai have merged. There is no one in the world with a stronger body than him. Tai Sui has no soul. My arrows specialize in souls and spirits, so they are ineffective against it."

I didn't expect that even Luohou is not sure he can get rid of Tai Sui... Bai Yu touched his chin and fell into deep thought.

"Is there any chance if you and I join forces?"

As soon as I asked this question, I saw Luohou put down his chopsticks.

"Okay."

He agreed readily.

Then he changed the subject: "It seems that you have lived enough."

Bai Yu said strangely: "It seems that even if we are on the same side, you don't trust me."

"I just think that killing you would be easier." Luo Hou said calmly, "Because I am sure that as long as I get rid of you, Huang Qixia will not live alone. As long as she dies, I can at least buy another 500 years."

"I won't give you this chance." Bai Yu leaned back and said, "I'm only in my early twenties. I have so many beautiful wives, a happy family and a happy life. I can be called a winner in life. I have worked so hard so many times to get this good life now. I can't bear to enter reincarnation so soon."

"You have too much, so in order to protect what you have, you will naturally deviate from the most appropriate choice and have to take a risky approach, forcing more people to go to the battlefield with you or even to the execution ground."

Luohou tilted his head back and drank the strong liquor, his eyes full of indifference that came from being away from the hustle and bustle of the world.

At this moment, one cannot sense the slightest bit of sensibility from Luohu, his emotions have long been erased, his life has long ended, his dreams have long died, his vanity has long decayed. He is a bow and arrow that exists to take revenge on the devil, so he will not be shaken by his emotions, he will not be blinded by illusions, he will not be corrupted by money and power... His choice is absolutely rational.

If killing forty-nine people could save fifty-one, he would do it without hesitation.

If the Holy Grail quiz that could torture Emiya Kiritsugu to the point of collapse was thrown to Rahu, he wouldn't even be able to respond with a sneer.

Because protection is based on sacrifice, there is no reason to get something without paying.

If we do not eliminate all evil people, they will bring harm to good people. If good people turn evil, we will kill them too.

Luohu is both an absolutely rational guardian and an avenger who kills demons. His seemingly crazy behaviors are all the result of extremely simple weighing of pros and cons.

Even if they share the same stance as Bai Yu, they are destined to not be able to fight side by side, nor can they understand each other.

If you want people who have too much and people who have nothing to understand each other, it’s better to wait until they all turn into orange juice.

Bai Yu had a preliminary understanding of this, so he no longer forced it. He just felt a little regretful and pity.

If Luohou could become a friendly force and side with our side... then even Tai Sui would not dare to act rashly.

It's a pity that Bai Yu cannot regard Luohou, who is always watching his and his lover's lives, as a comrade-in-arms; similarly, Luohou will never show mercy when it is time to take action.

A bottle of wine was finished.

Luohou also finished the whole table of food. His appetite was astonishingly large, as if he wanted to eat a month's worth of food in one go.

He put down his chopsticks and said calmly, "Let's go."

There is no chance if I continue to stay in the capital.

Bai Yu stood up and said, "I'm sorry I can't see you off."

Luohou walked out of the gate wearing a black robe, his back gradually moving away, neither hurried nor slow, as if he was digesting his food after a meal.

"The surname is Luo!"

A voice came from behind.

Luo Hou raised his hand and caught something thrown from behind. In his hand, there was an unopened jar of national wine. "See you next time, I will treat you to a drink again." Bai Yu said loudly.

Luohou picked up the jar of wine, walked forward, and soon disappeared at the end of the street corner.

Bai Yu stood in front of the door, looking a little lost.

At this moment, he felt a soft feeling from behind. Su Ruoli leaned on his back, put her hands around his neck, rested her chin on her left shoulder, and also stared at the end of the street corner.

Miss Su sighed repeatedly: "I was so scared, I thought he would really do it. When he served the dumplings just now, I got goosebumps."

"He won't do it, because he's not sure... Luo Hou is a rational person and won't do anything risky." Bai Yu scratched Su Ruoli's chin with his finger: "He is actually a conservative person."

"Will he come again in the future?"

"Probably not." Bai Yu shook his head: "I don't know what his next plan is, but he knows that he can't kill me. Even if he kills me, he will have to pay a huge price. He won't let Tai Sui fishermen take advantage of him."

"But he still refused to join forces." Su Ruoli whispered: "Since we are destined not to join forces, it will naturally give Tai Sui the opportunity to defeat us one by one."

Bai Yu didn't say anything, just sighed softly.

"This Luo Hou is really annoying. I was just holding back and wanted to chop him with a sword. He's like this, and you're still talking about treating him to a drink?"

The young man held Su Ruoli's hand and said with a smile: "I can treat him to a drink because he regards me as someone sitting at the same table with him. If it were someone else, they wouldn't have this qualification."

"I don't like Luo Hou's style of doing things either. It's too extreme, but what he said makes sense. Before him, everything in the world was very simple. It was just a matter of one arrow."

Bai Yu looked at the dim moon and said to himself, "There is only one liter of heroic spirit in the Great Xia over the past thousand years, but Luohou alone has eight liters."

"I may not admire Luo Hou, but how can I not admire the hero who has guarded the human world for thousands of years?"

……

After leaving Bei Ming's house, Luo Hou came to a crossroads.

The jar of wine in his hand was already one third empty.

He raised his eyes, looking a little drunk.

Suddenly, I stopped at the crossroads. The originally bustling Beijing night market suddenly stopped its noise. The busy scene of traffic and the endless stream of people quickly disappeared within ten seconds, turning into a cold and silent empty city.

The crowds and vehicles receded like the tide, and the receding tide revealed reefs and the tip of the iceberg.

From all directions of the crossroads, followers carrying longbows walked out one after another. The black evil archers gathered silently behind Luohou. There was one more person every few steps. Before he knew it, a team of hundreds of people had formed behind Luohou.

Luohou raised his hand and threw the wine jar behind him, and someone raised his hand to catch it.

"This is the national wine that the boy surnamed Bai invited you to drink."

The archers behind were all interested.

"National brew?"

“It’s the first time I’ve seen it.”

"This wine smells so good, Lao Deng, give me a sip, just one sip..."

Many archers gathered around and wanted to have a taste.

The wine jar sank into the crowd like a handful of rice scattered among a flock of pigeons.

Polaris walked behind Luohou and asked in a low voice: "Do you want to go back now?"

"I wanted to come to the capital to have a showdown, but now there is no chance. He was able to defeat Wu Lianyue, Tai Sui, Tyrant and other parties together, not because of luck, but because of strength." Luo Hou sighed: "If this person could be born a thousand years earlier, how great it would be... maybe the disaster of Demon Ancestor would have ended long ago."

This overly high evaluation made Polaris raise his eyes. Why did it sound like Luohou was saying that he was not as good as Bai Yujing?
Luo Hou continued, "If you insist on killing Huang Qixia, both sides will suffer, and everyone present will die. Although I am not afraid of death, dying in the Demon Realm is different from dying in the capital. The former is at most regrettable, while the latter is just unwillingness."

Polaris said solemnly: "As long as I die for a good cause, that's fine."

"Okay, let's save our energy and go fight Tai Sui and the demons."

Luohou let out a long breath, as if letting out all the pent-up alcohol and pent-up emotions.

Polaris said in a low voice: "If I were Tai Sui, the first person he would kill would definitely not be Bai Yujing."

"I'll wait."

"Let him come!"

Luohou said loudly, and his suddenly raised voice spread across half the street, like the roar of thunder, exploding in the depths of the souls of thousands of people.

"Thousands of years have passed, and the world has changed dramatically."

"If the demons are not eliminated, how can we have a family?"

"I have been stationed at Taiyin for a full thousand years, just to wait for a decisive battle."

"I have shot tens of thousands of arrows from my bow, but I cannot stop the demons from destroying the world."

“This long war is coming to an end.”

The gale came whistling, passed through his body, and rushed all the way, carrying with it the high morale and fighting spirit that reached the ears of the heavens.

Luohou knew very well that if he continued to move forward he would fall into the bottomless abyss.

That was the destination he would eventually reach, and it was also the fate he could not escape.

But he was still determined and embarked on the road of no return without hesitation.

Even... I've been waiting for a long time and I'm overjoyed!

Who is as notorious as me?
Turn your back on everyone...

Bury all the demons!
……

The top of a tall building.

There is a dining table. The wind from high altitude is very fast, but it can't roll up the tablecloth on the table. It is so quiet here that it seems like a windless vacuum area.

Tai Sui was cutting meat. He cut a piece of meat and put it into the boiling hot pot. He rinsed it, put it into his mouth, took a bite, and bright red blood splashed between his teeth.

He ate some unknown kind of meat slowly.

Until a ray of starlight fell from the sky.

The streams of light converged into a blurry human figure, with unclear facial features, as if it was a hollow human figure woven together by countless rays of light.

"When do you plan to leave?"

"Why are you in such a hurry? Didn't I tell you to be patient?"

"I have been patient enough to wait for you for a thousand years..." The Outer God clone with starlight gathered on the table: "But you still have the mood to eat hot pot here?"

"How can you recover quickly without eating? Wu Penglai's body is good, but it's too weak." Tai Sui wiped his mouth and said, "It has only recovered 70% so far. Why are you so anxious? Obviously, the one who can threaten you in the west no longer exists."

"You and I both know that this is not the point." The Outer God said calmly.

"If you can't wait, you can come here on your own." Tai Sui smiled, with a hint of arrogance in his tone: "But since you want me to be the first to attack, you must listen to me and follow my rules."

The Outer God incarnation stood up and was about to leave, not wanting to say any more nonsense.

"In fact, I've already made my move." Tai Sui cut off another large piece of meat and threw it directly into the pot: "The meat is already in the pot, and it will rot in the pot."

"Who is your next target?"

"Bai Yujing cannot be moved. His strength is improving rapidly, and the more he is suppressed, the more it will grow." Tai Sui said, "Besides, the entire Daxia is standing behind him. It is unwise to confront him rashly."

"But the evil woman is in his hands."

"That's right, so I'm going to postpone this battle. The first target I'm going to attack is Luohou."

Tai Sui raised his chopsticks and stabbed them into the pot, piercing through the piece of meat that was oozing blood.

"For thousands of years, he has been a thorn in my bones. Now it's time to pull it out."

The Outer God asked, "How sure are you?"

"Even if we don't say 100%, there is still 90% chance."

"So sure?"

"Luo Hou is not Bai Yujing... Apart from his followers, he is almost fighting alone. He has guarded the Taiyin Demon Realm for a thousand years with only a bow and an arrow. People in the world will respect him, but they will not understand him. He has isolated the whole world, so no one will help him, and no one can help him."

Tai Sui turned the chopsticks, and the soup rolled up and became as red as blood.

"People like this are actually the easiest to deal with."

"If you want to kill Bai Yujing, you must be prepared to make the entire country of Daxia your enemy."

"But to kill Luohou, we only need to deal with him and the group of black evil archers."

"certainly……"

"The most important thing is that I have already seen his two archery techniques."

"The Wu clan without a primordial spirit is Luohou's natural enemy."

"As the greatest person in a thousand years, it's time for him to end his career."

"Times are changing, the old is replaced by the new, and this trend cannot be stopped by anyone."

……

Three days later.

The stars hang over the boundless field.

Luohou and more than a hundred of his followers entered the Wuliangye and there was no way back.
