About the brave man who became a thousand-year-old potato and ended up destroying the world

"Qilisha? Who is that?" Liu Ji was stunned.

"Stop pretending to me, where did your desert incarnation ability come from?" the black shadow asked again.

"This... uh," Liu Ji hesitated and said, "anyway, it has nothing to do with the Qirisa you mentioned."

"It doesn't matter? Oh, okay, boy, it seems like you don't trust me?" The black figure smiled.

"Do you think I should trust you?" Liu Ji asked.

"I thought... that's okay," the black figure laughed again, "In that case, let's talk about why you are looking for me first."

"This..." Liu Ji was stunned, "This, ah...that's it, you should be in charge of this city, right?"

"Me? Haha, that's right," the black figure replied casually.

"Then don't you think there's something a little wrong with some things in this city?" Liu Ji said, "For example, the arena in the suburbs and the large slums..."

"Really? Oh, probably," Black Shadow showed indifference, "You came to me just to ask me this?"

"I think this is quite important," Liu Ji said seriously, "Many people should not have such a difficult life."

The black figure looked at Liu Ji, but for some reason, he fell silent.

After a long time, he suddenly laughed.

"Boy, how old are you?" the black shadow asked.

"Me?" Liu Ji hesitated and said, "Based on human calculations, it's more than 20, right?"

"More than 20?" The black figure seemed a little surprised, "You were just summoned?"

"No, how should I say, I have been summoned for more than 1000 years," Liu Ji scratched his cheek, "but most of the time, I probably fell asleep..."

"Then have you saved the world?" the black shadow asked.

"No, uh, no..." Liu Ji spread his hands, "For some reasons, this, how should I say..."

"Ha! No way! Haha, there is such a brave man like you!?" The black figure didn't know why, but he laughed even harder, "Then you are so lucky! Bastard, listen to me, don't be blind. Don’t worry, find a place you like, build yourself a house you like, and squat alone.”

"It's not...you," Liu Jiyi frowned, "I didn't come to you to tell you this, I just asked, since you are still guarding this city, do you really not plan to care about the poor people in the city? ?"

"Poor man? Haha, hahaha, hahahaha!" The black shadow smiled crazily, and then, his voice changed, and he suddenly asked in a deep voice, "Boy, do you really understand what a brave man is? "

Liu Ji was stunned, pondered for a moment, and asked tentatively: "A tool man used to solve disasters?"

"Ha! Don't you understand? However, it's not enough..." The black shadow laughed, "A brave man is an immortal person who is summoned to solve disasters and is burdened with curses and blessings at the same time.

And every brave man has only the same ending after saving the world.

That is, eventually being thrown into a corner of the world and slowly rotting..."

173. Two in one, brother, let’s go hand in hand

"You mean, all brave men are immortal?" Liu Ji asked doubtfully.

This seemed a little different from what he had heard before...

"Haha, yes, even if you want to die, you can't die," the black shadow replied with a smile, "You can use some special means to achieve the illusion of killing the brave, but they still exist, and one day they will be killed in some way. The way reappears.”

"But..." Liu Ji hesitated for a moment, then said, "I once heard that a brave man died of old age..."

"Who?" the black shadow asked.

"This..." Liu Ji hesitated, "That's the one who solved the Blood Moon disaster back then..."

"Qirisa? Ha, you really know her," the black shadow said with a smile, "You said she died of old age? Ha, how is that possible..."

"No, but..." Liu Ji hesitated.

He wasn't sure whether he should mention Mass to this person.

But according to what he meant, he even knew the lover who passed away in Mass. It seemed that he had no need to hide the traces of Mass.

After thinking about it, Liu Ji still said: "But, the mass said that his lover has indeed passed away..."

"Mass?" The black figure made a confused voice, "Which mass? Wait? Red Moon Demon King?"

"Yeah," Liu Ji nodded slightly.

"Nonsense, the Red Moon Demon King has been dead for thousands of years," the black shadow said categorically, "He is a Bicheno man, and his soul life span is only 400 years. Even if he is an arcane genius, Relying on the methods of those mystics, it is already a miracle to live for more than 1000 years. How could..."

At this point, the black shadow suddenly stopped.

Then, he tilted his head as if he was thinking about something. After a while, he suddenly asked: "Wait, you said you met him in the desert? He was the only one?"

"Uh, yeah," Liu Ji nodded.

"Where's Qilisa?" the black figure asked.

"You mean his lover? She has died of old age," Liu Ji said. "He guards her grave all day long..."

"Is there a statue on the tomb?" the shadow asked.

"Statue? No, no, there isn't even any inscription on it..." Liu Ji shook his head.

After hearing Liu Ji's words, the black figure fell into a long silence.

Then he suddenly laughed.

First there was a low chuckle, and then the laughter became louder and louder, gradually becoming a little crazy.

"Why are you laughing?" Liu Ji asked with a frown.

"What am I laughing at? Haha, what am I laughing at? Who knows, probably, I am laughing at my losing bet..." The black shadow murmured...

"Lost the bet? What did you bet on?" Liu Ji frowned.

"Hey, when I first met that girl, she was as passionate as you, so in order to pour cold water on her, I made a bet with her," the black figure said.

"So, what kind of bet is it?" Liu Ji frowned.

"Don't worry, I was wondering if I should bet with you once," the black figure laughed playfully, "Now, let me ask you, do you have a lover?"

"Love?" Liu Ji was stunned. For some reason, Ya Yin's figure flashed in his mind.

But, obviously they don't have that kind of relationship yet...

After thinking for a while, Liu Ji still said: "Uh, not yet..."

"Oh, that's good, it's best not to have it," the black shadow said.

"Why?" Liu Ji frowned slightly.

"Because one day, you will forget her," the black figure laughed playfully, "her name, appearance, and your past experiences, bit by bit, will be completely forgotten..."

"How could this happen?" Liu Ji frowned.

"Do you want to bet...I wanted to say this, but unfortunately, you can't bet, so let me change my words," the black figure said, looked to the side and asked, "Have you seen these statues? ?”

"Well..." Liu Ji nodded.

"What do you think they are?" the shadow asked.

"Uh, decoration?" Liu Ji asked tentatively.

"Oh, you are right to say that. After all, they are just statues," the black figure said, "But, to me, they are my memories..."

Liu Ji didn't answer, just waited quietly for the black shadow to continue speaking.

"You should know that I am also a brave man," the black shadow said, "I probably had a glorious time once, although I can no longer remember the experience at that time, nor can I remember what I was fighting against. , but, I still remember that I gained twelve lovers during my journey..."

"You have a harem for love," Liu Ji thought to himself, but did not say it out loud.

The dark figure looked at Liu Ji, and he didn't know whether he suddenly wanted to show off or sensed Liu Ji's thoughts. He suddenly asked: "Are you a little envious?"

"Do you want me to show envy?" Liu Ji asked.

"No, that's not necessary, and there's nothing to envy," the shadow said lightly, "It's been too long...

Once upon a time, I thought I would always keep them in my heart, hold on to their memories, and stay in this lonely underground until the end of history.

Sounds bad enough, right?Haha, it's a pity, I just discovered now that that kind of imagination is even a kind of luxury.

The power of time is far more terrifying than anyone imagines.

You may have heard that although the so-called immortals only live for a thousand years, if they are not as proficient in sleep as some races, their spirits will be more or less abnormal.

But they simply can’t imagine how terrible tens of thousands of years will be. The ruthless quicksand will corrode your soul bit by bit, devour your spirit, wear away your will, and even destroy the only thing you have left. Those precious memories will be taken away bit by bit,

I thought I could always remember them, but after only a hundred years, I found that my recollection of their figures had become blurry.

I was shocked. I didn’t want to forget them, so I built these statues for them.

At first, I could clearly carve out their last faces before they died, but as time went by, the slow collapse of the earth element always made the outline of their faces gradually become rounded and blurred.

Therefore, every once in a while, I need to help maintain their statues again.

It was okay at first, but as time went by, it became increasingly difficult for me to recall their specific faces. As a last resort, I began to recall the most memorable time when I met them, when I first saw them. The memory that comes into my mind,

Then I built statues of them again,

In fact, even that time, I was not sure whether their appearance in my memory was really their appearance. However, I could only do that. Only in this way could I always keep them in my heart.

But, it has been too long, really too long. Later, every time I carve their faces, it takes me longer and longer, and looking at those statues, I feel more and more strange.

I don’t know if there’s something wrong with my carving, or if I really can’t remember it anymore…”

As he said that, the black figure suddenly laughed again.

"Later, haha, guess what..." The shadow on his body flowed quietly, and for some reason, Liu Ji felt a deep sadness from it, "Then one day, when I wanted to attack one of the statues as usual, While the statue was being maintained, I sat in front of it and found that my mind went blank...

That time, I sat in front of the sculpture for a full month, but in the end, I couldn't get down to chisel.

I suddenly discovered that time has worn my memory into a piece of white sand. I still remember their shadows, but I can no longer remember their faces. Only by chanting their names can I emerge from the barren desert of souls. I caught a glimpse of a familiar phantom..."

He shook his head and sighed: "Then, in the end, it was still like you saw. I haven't made statues of them again for thousands of years..."

Liu Ji looked at the dark figure, and then at the twelve faceless statues. In the end, he could only lower his head in silence, not knowing what to say.

Although he has lived for a thousand years, he can basically be regarded as sleeping all the way. He has never experienced the experience of the black shadow, but he can already feel the sadness and despair from his words.

He couldn't imagine what he was thinking when he sat in front of the statue facing that blank face for a whole month. He only knew that he never expected to experience the same feeling one day.

At this moment, he realized very clearly why the black shadow said that eternal life was clearly a curse.

"Boy, you asked me before why I don't care about this city's affairs..." the figure suddenly said.

"Well..." Liu Ji nodded.

"Ha... Actually, you have to say, I don't want to take care of it. This is the city I built, the home I once created for myself. It can be said to be the only proof that I am still alive. How could I not want to take care of it? "Yeah," the figure said, and suddenly laughed again, "But, hahahaha, I want to take care of it, hahahaha, but how should I take care of it, what is right, what is wrong, what is reasonable, what is wrong?" It’s unreasonable, I’ve forgotten everything…”

Liu Ji fell into silence.

He had imagined many answers and what kind of person the brave man here was.

But he found that the truth was far beyond his imagination, how powerless, yet natural.

but……

"You haven't said yet, what does this have to do with mass..." Liu Ji whispered.

"Of course, I have already said that the Red Moon Demon King Mass died thousands of years ago," the black shadow said, "There is only one possibility. What you met was actually Qilisa."

"What..." Liu Ji looked at the dark figure in front of him in shock, "But, he is clearly a male..."

"Desert incarnation," the black shadow interrupted Liu Ji, "the genius idea of ​​the Red Moon Demon King, the only sealing method that can restrict the full moon, the required conditions are a place of death and an immortal person, Moreover, you should know very well that in this form, you can become whatever you want."

"But, he has no reason to lie to me about this kind of thing, right?" Liu Ji's tone was more uncertain, "And when he told me about his past, I, I really didn't think it was... That is……"

"Ha, you thought of it?" Heiying smiled, "She didn't lie to you, those memories are true. I made a bet with her that one day, she would regret being with that guy, because she would eventually Like me, I will gradually forget him completely, but I lost, but she didn’t win either..."

Liu Ji looked at the black figure and swallowed.

At this point, he actually already had a guess in his mind, but he didn't intend to say it out loud, but waited for the black shadow to continue talking.

"Ha... I asked you before whether her statue is engraved on the tombstone of the so-called brave man she talked about," the black shadow said, "but you told me that there is not even a name on it. Ha, do you think this is really Is it reasonable?"

Liu Ji closed his eyes and didn't want to answer.

"Okay, if you don't want to think about it, I'll tell you," the black figure said, "She did win the bet. She successfully memorized the mass. I don't know how she lives every day, nor do I know How long ago did she become like this? However, the result is that in order to remember the mass, she became the mass herself. She may even sincerely think that she is the mass. After all, you don't even know her name. I don’t know, maybe, she has forgotten not only her appearance, but even her name..."

Liu Ji took a breath slowly, exhaled it slowly, and said: "She said that the desert incarnation is immortal..."

"Yes, but if it weren't for the curse of the brave man, the human soul would eventually dissipate," the black shadow said. "By the way, can she communicate with you, even though you speak a language from another world?"

"Well..." Liu Ji nodded slightly, "She said that she later learned how to communicate with all races."
