Hua Cheng learned the Wuyong language based on his own deduction ability.
He could decipher the meaning of the words.
But because there were no survivors who read the words to him, he couldn't match the sounds with the words. That was why he could not understand the mutterings of the rats.
But Xie Lian, who had never been to Mount Bronze Furnace, understood. What did this mean?
Hua Cheng knew what he was thinking with one look.
He immediately said, "Brother,
Don't be nervous. I'll repeat those words again.
Listen to them. "
Xie Lian said, "… Okay."
Hua Cheng had a good memory. As soon as he left the place where the rats gathered,
He immediately repeated it clearly. Xie Lian stared at his lips.
He heard a string of strange sounds that were neither fast nor slow.
This string of strange words was spoken with an ancient charm. It came out of Hua Cheng's mouth.
The voice was deep and beautiful.
It was very pleasant to listen to. After a moment, Xie Lian said, "I don't understand."
This was very strange. He could understand the human language of the rats.
But right now, Hua Cheng was repeating it exactly, but he couldn't understand it. But,
The moment he understood it couldn't have been an illusion.
Hua Cheng continued, "Just now,
When you heard those sounds,
You understood it instantly and naturally, right? "
Xie Lian said, "Yes. At that time, my mind didn't go through the process of translation. "That was why he didn't realize it was another language.
Hua Cheng crossed his arms and thought for a moment.
"I understand."
Xie Lian asked, "What do you understand?"
Hua Cheng said, "What you understood wasn't the Wuyong language, but the emotions of the dead."
Xie Lian seemed to understand. Hua Cheng continued, "That is to say, a long time ago, someone heard the voices of the dead, understood them, and remembered them. Then, unknowingly, they implanted this memory into you and used this emotion to infect you.
"Because that person understood the Wuyong language, he had already 'understood' it. So, you don't need to understand the Wuyong language at all. These voices have always been hidden in the depths of your mind. The moment you hear them, you can be directly brought into that emotion. "
Xie Lian felt that this was possible, so he said, "But, the problem is, who passed these memories and emotions to me? And when did you pass it on to me? "
Pausing for a moment, he muttered, "... Imperial Preceptor?"
However, Hua Cheng said, "Not yet. Brother, you are already assuming that your master is from Wu Yong. But have you ever thought of a problem? If that's the case, then why didn't they use the Wuyong language to communicate in the mountain monster's stomach? "
This wasn't hard to explain. Xie Lian explained, "Because the Wu Yong Kingdom was destroyed two thousand years ago. In other words, in the last two thousand years, if they really had been active in the world, they would have used the language of their descendants. When we communicate, we will naturally use the language we are more familiar with. "
Hua Cheng hugged his shoulder and said in a more serious tone, "Brother, don't always lead yourself in that direction."
Only then did Xie Lian turn around and say, "Good. Then, San Lang, what are the requirements to transfer certain memories and emotions to someone else? "
Hua Cheng said, "Two conditions. First, you must have absolute trust in this person and not put up any defenses. Furthermore, if necessary, you must be willing to be guided by this person."
After thinking for a moment, Xie Lian had a candidate in mind. Hua Cheng continued, "Second, you have no power to resist this person. You will be completely suppressed by the other party and you will have a deep fear of the other party. Brother, think about it carefully. In these past few years, among the people you know, who fits these two conditions? "
Xie Lian thought for a moment and hesitated for a moment before slowly saying, "About, there are three."
Hua Cheng said, "Okay, which three?"
Xie Lian said, "The first is the Imperial Preceptor."
Although he deeply loved his parents and didn't put up any defenses, deep in his heart, he didn't walk the same path as his father. Therefore, he couldn't say he was willing to be guided by his father. However, the Imperial Preceptor who introduced him and taught him everything met this condition. This was within his expectations. Hua Cheng said, "Then, the second one?"
Xie Lian said, "Jun Wu."
He greatly admired Jun Wu. Needless to say, he also met the first condition. Hua Cheng's expression didn't seem to agree, but he didn't make any comments. He asked, "What about the last one?"
Xie Lian said, "The third one doesn't meet the first condition. Instead, it meets the second."
Hua Cheng understood. He said in a low voice, "… … Bai WuXiang?"
Xie Lian closed his eyes and nodded. He rubbed his forehead with one hand and said, "… … I won't hide it from you. Although in everyone's eyes, I don't seem to have ever revealed this. Even when facing Feng Xin and Mu Qing, I didn't say anything disheartening, I actually … … "
But in reality, deep in his heart, he deeply feared this thing.
For a period of time, he even reached the point where he would tremble incessantly when he heard this name. However, Xie Lian never dared to let anyone see a trace of it. That was because he was the only hope to resist Bai WuXiang. If even he was afraid, wouldn't others be even more desperate? If that happened, then everything would be completely destroyed!
Of course, everything was much better now. Hua Cheng hugged his shoulder even tighter and said, "It's fine. Being afraid of something isn't shameful. "
Xie Lian smiled and said, "It's just that I'm not brave enough."
However, Hua Cheng said, "If there's no such thing as fear, then there's no such thing as courage. You don't have to be so harsh on yourself. "
Hearing this, Xie Lian was slightly startled. Hua Cheng then said, "So, there are only these three people?"
Xie Lian nodded. In other words, the person who instilled him with the memories and emotions of the Wu Yong people during the volcanic eruption was one of these three. Hua Cheng looked pensive and slightly frowned. Xie Lian was silent for a while, then suddenly said, "More than that."
Hua Cheng turned his head and said, "What?"
Xie Lian took a light breath and said, "Actually, it's not just these three people. There's a fourth person. This person fulfills the first condition. However, he definitely has nothing to do with the memories and emotions of the deceased. "
Hearing this, Hua Cheng completely turned around and said, "Oh? How can you be so sure? Your Highness also has a deep friendship with this person for many years? "
Xie Lian thought that many years didn't count, but deep friendship … … he thought it counted. However, he was embarrassed to say this, so he vaguely said, "In any case … … he's probably the person I trust the most. I trust him more than my master and Jun Wu."
Hua Cheng said, "How does this count?"
Xie Lian coughed lightly and said a little embarrassedly, "I'm ashamed to say this. That's because … if I commit some monstrous mistake or make some earth-shattering mess, the first person I'll think of will definitely be him … Moreover, it's a different kind of trust that I have for my master and the emperor … "Before he could finish speaking, he noticed that Hua Cheng's expression was a little strange. He stopped talking and hesitated for a moment." San Lang? "
Only then did Hua Cheng return to his senses. Raising his eyebrows, he said, "Oh, nothing. I was thinking about something else just now. Does Your Highness really trust this person that much? "
Although he usually raised his eyebrows in satisfaction or teasing, this raised eyebrow wasn't very natural.
Xie Lian nodded and said, "Yes … … is there a problem?"
Hua Cheng slightly lowered his head and adjusted the silver wristband on his cuffs. Pretending to be careless, he said, "There's no big problem. However, my personal opinion. Brother, it's best if you don't trust others so easily. "
"… …"
Hearing him say this, Xie Lian wasn't sure if Hua Cheng understood who he was talking about. However, he didn't dare to reveal it further. He just said, "Oh … …"
After pausing for a while, he couldn't help but ask, "San Lang, aren't you going to ask who this person is?"
Hua Cheng said, "Hm? Me? Since Brother said that you trust him and firmly believe that he has nothing to do with this matter, then there's no need to ask. "
Xie Lian rubbed the space between his eyebrows. Immediately after, Hua Cheng said, "However, if Brother is willing to tell me, San Lang is willing to listen."
Although his words sounded appropriate, if Xie Lian followed along and told him now, it would be a little awkward. It would be as if Xie Lian was asking him who he trusted the most. Xie Lian couldn't tell if it was just polite words or if it really didn't matter. Just at this moment, the Necrotic Butterflies that had just torn flesh and blood from the corpse-eating rats flew back. After experiencing a fierce battle, the Silver Butterflies were flying a little low, as if they were slightly tired. Xie Lian hurriedly went forward and reached out to catch an especially slender little Silver Butterfly. He said, "You've worked hard!"
As soon as he reached out, the butterflies slowed down in the air. In the next moment, as if they smelled something delicious, they crazily pounced towards him. Xie Lian held the little Silver Butterfly in his hands and was almost stunned. Hua Cheng coughed lightly. The butterflies froze again and obediently flew towards him. They landed on the silver bracer on his arm and fused with the silver butterfly engravings on it.
The two of them continued to search for the Guiding Jade. After walking for a while, Hua Cheng suddenly said, "It can't be Feng Xin, right?"
Xie Lian had already started thinking about other things. Hearing this, he was startled and said, "Ah? What? "
Hua Cheng said, "The person that Brother was talking about."
Xie Lian immediately waved his hand and said, "Of course not!"
Hua Cheng's eyebrows twitched. He said, "It can't be Mu Qing either."
A drop of cold sweat dripped down Xie Lian's forehead. He waved his hands even faster and said, "That's even more impossible! However, why did San Lang suddenly ask about it now? "
Hua Cheng smiled and said, "I thought about it and suddenly felt that the fourth person was the most suspicious. So, just in case, can I ask Brother to tell me who your most trusted friend of many years is? "
"… …"
Xie Lian looked at the smile on his face and had an intuition that this smile was very fake. Just as he took a deep breath and was about to speak, the faint silver light on the bodies of the scouting silver butterflies suddenly disappeared.
Their surroundings fell into darkness. Hua Cheng quickly took Xie Lian's hand and flashed to the side of the street. Xie Lian sensed that something was wrong and said in a low voice, "San Lang, is there something coming?"
Although he suddenly fell into darkness and couldn't see, he still followed Hua Cheng's footsteps and accurately flipped into a house to hide. Hua Cheng's voice sounded in his ear, "It's coming."
In the darkness, an extremely strange sound suddenly rang out.
Thump, thump, thump.
Although it was still very far away, each sound was extremely heavy. With each sound, the sound came closer by a large distance. The speed was astonishing. Xie Lian felt that this sound was inexplicably familiar. He had definitely heard it somewhere before. When the sound was not far away, he looked out.
As expected! On the main street of the underground city, a girl wearing a wedding dress appeared.
Although the girl was wearing a wedding dress, her clothes were tattered and looked mournful and gloomy. Although she had a long face and a proud and beautiful face, there was not a trace of life in it. On top of her head was a faint green ghost fire, which made her pale face look even greener. She was holding a child in her arms. His face was also deathly pale, but he was still much more alive than her. It was obviously a living person.
Hua Cheng said, "I meet an old friend again."
