Rebel Demon King

Chapter 593 The Cold Wonderland at the End of the World (2)

(Two-in-one update, one chapter is yesterday's update, one chapter is today's update, and there are two more updates today!)
After coming out of the secret passage behind the waterfall, Jing Xing took Cheng Mo back to the frontmost "Shaoji Palace" and sat there for a while, enjoying the singing of several cloned stars, and then went to the Lutai facing the sea for a while. It will clone the dance of the stars, and in the middle of the night, a bonfire is lit in the center of the terrace, and the dance starts in the lukewarm midnight sea breeze.

The small stage in the middle was removed, so the whole deer stage was turned into a stage, but this scene seemed a bit weird to Cheng Mo, exquisite and unique dishes from various countries were brought up like flowing water, and men in various styles of clothing Men and women hugged each other and danced face-to-face, the band played music with ambiguous melodies, the starlight in the sky and the boundless waves made the atmosphere seem dreamlike and unreal.

Jing Xing, who was sitting next to Cheng Mo, said: "Don't you want to dance with a favorite female star? If you miss this opportunity, you won't know that you will have to wait until the year of the monkey next time!"

Cheng Mo's eyes turned around the faces of those clones with bright smiles. Some of their expressions and movements were very formulaic, while others were full of enthusiasm and enjoyment, but no matter who they were, there were obvious traces of being trained. Like a doll without a soul.Cheng Mo didn't have much pity in his heart, and he didn't want to have any stories with these "produced" clones. He shook his head and said, "I'm not interested in clones."

Jing Xing shrugged his shoulders, expressing regret, and then asked with doubts: "Master Lin, I don't understand what you like now? Isn't the ultimate dream of a man to be 'wake up and take power in the world, and lie drunk on the knees of beauties'?" Is it? I think head Lin doesn't seem to care about both! Could it be that head Lin has a higher ideal?"

Cheng Mo said lightly: "What I want is freedom. When I want to do something, no one dares to stop me; when I don't want to do something, no one dares to talk to me about freedom."

Jing Xing was stunned for a moment, then laughed, raised his crystal wine glass and said to Cheng Mo, "Respect freedom!"

Cheng Mo raised his glass and touched Jing Xing lightly, and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.

Jing Xing leaned over and put the empty cup on the marble coffee table in front of the sofa, and chatted with Cheng Mo about some anecdotes about Lutai, and after a while he said that the opportunity was rare, and he was going to the dance to have fun. Those who have entered Lutai many times can get a right. This right is determined by the length of stay in Lutai. He can't waste this opportunity.

Cheng Mo didn't ask Jing Xing what kind of rights he got, and Jing Xing didn't say anything, but after he walked into the crowded dance floor, he did not know where he pulled the clone of the now popular actress Di Lieba, She pressed down on the sofa and asked her to drink with Cheng Mo.

Di Lieba said "Okay", took a goblet from the marble coffee table very skillfully, poured half a glass of wine for herself consciously, and then toasted Cheng Mo, her movements were very skillful, but the drinking Her demeanor was unnatural, she had obviously learned manners, but she didn't drink too much.

Cheng Mo is not curious about the life of the clones, and he knows that he can't express his curiosity. What's more, he can imagine that they have been living on this small cliff palace from birth to the present, without any contact with them. What is the situation outside.

At the beginning, the two of them didn't know what to say, but Di Lieba kept saying "General, I respect you", Cheng Mo didn't refuse each other's toast, and the two drank quickly.

After drinking for three rounds, Di Lieba, who was too strong to drink, became a little drunk and began to talk. Although her body is very mature, her mental age and IQ are still about ten years old. She is very naive and ignorant .

"By the way, I haven't asked the general yet after drinking so much, what's your name?" Di Lieba, who was wearing the same red gauze dress as Feng Jiu in "Three Lives III, Ten Miles of Peach Blossom", asked with her big flickering eyes Cheng Mo.

"Lin Zhinuo." Cheng Mo replied.

Di Lieba stretched out his hand towards Cheng Mo, "My name is Di Lieba."

"Hmm! I know." Cheng Mo pinched Di Lieba's fingertips and shook them lightly twice.

"How did the general know that my name is Di Lieba?" Di Lieba asked, and there was still a milky sound in her voice.

Cheng Mo was silent for a while, and said, "I guess."

"Huh? How did the general guess it?"

"I can tell fortunes."

"What is fortune-telling?"

"Fortune-telling is to calculate a person's fate."

"Then what is fate?"

Cheng Mo thought for a while and said, "The so-called destiny is probably the trajectory of a certain person or thing, past, present and future."

Di Lieba put her hands on her knees and supported her chin, shaking her head and said, "The general's words are so difficult to understand, just like Dr. Charlie who occasionally gives us lessons."

Cheng Mo didn't speak, but turned his head to look at Di Lieba seriously. Most of the time, people just pretend to listen without talking, and the other party will naturally speak on their own.

Sure enough, Di Lieba noticed Cheng Mo's silver face and those clear eyes under the candlelight. Di Lieba blinked those big and long eyes, showed an innocent smile and said: "Dr. Charlie He is a good man, but he always wears a beak-like mask. We thought it was a seagull, but he told us it was a crow, a black scary bird. But we have only seen white ones called seagulls Bird, I've never seen a black bird, have you ever seen a crow? It's that kind of black and scary bird?"

"I've seen them. Although they look ugly, they are the smartest birds."

"The crow is not good-looking? No wonder Dr. Charlie said that you mask people like to wear masks because they are too ugly"

Cheng Mo nodded, "Dr. Charlie is right, you have to believe what he said."

Di Lieba turned her head to look at Cheng Mo, the two sat side by side on the couch very close to each other, a red lantern hanging on a golden curved metal pole swayed by Cheng Mo's side, and the red candlelight was shining on him. There was a burning glow on the chiseled cheeks.

Di Lieba smiled shyly and said, "But why do I think you should look good?"

"Looking good is not everything for a person, one has to be good-looking."

"Heart?" Di Lieba touched the position of the heart, leaned her head over suddenly, and said in Cheng Mo's ear: "The heart is beautiful, do you want it to look good here? No wonder some sisters said, you masked people I like touching breasts the most. Would you like to touch mine to see if my heart looks good?"

After speaking, Di Lieba grabbed Cheng Mo's right hand and pulled it, but Cheng Mo broke away lightly, and said lightly: "The heart is beautiful, not the chest, but the soul."

Di Lieba's movements were a little stiff, she looked at Cheng Mo and said doubtfully: "Isn't this the heart?" Then she said with some panic: "Why do I feel that you are unhappy, what do you like? Our task is to accompany you Be happy, you are just a general now, except that you can't go to bed with you, other things are fine. What do you want to do?"

Cheng Mo sighed inwardly, picked up the cup and said, "Just talk, let's have a drink!"

"You are not unhappy, are you?"

"No."

Di Lieba laughed, clinked glasses with Cheng Mo, and asked, "Then what should we say?"

"Just tell me what you usually do!"

"Take classes during the day, learn languages, dance, sing, and musical instruments, and sleep at night when I'm not working, or chat with other sisters, play chess, and cards. I feel that every day passes so quickly."

"What will you talk about?"

Di Lieba looked left and right, turned her head and whispered in Cheng Mo's ear: "What we talked about most was what the outside of Lutai looked like. Teacher Tiffany would not tell us anything except for class. Dr. Charlie told us that the outside is full of monsters that can eat people, as well as flying iron birds, iron boxes running around, and canvases that can act. But Sister Jiaxin said that although there are many monsters outside, there are also many people, just like you You are a person wearing a mask from outside, you should know these strange things, right?"

Cheng Mo nodded.

"Is there really an iron bird that can fly and an iron box that can run outside? Isn't the world outside so big? How big is that?" Di Lieba asked like a cannonball.

"An iron bird that can fly is called an airplane, and an iron box that can run is called a car. This world is very big, but it is also small." Cheng Mo said.

Di Lieba grabbed Cheng Mo's hand and shook it twice, like a child asking for candy from an adult. Her eyes were shining with a light of seeking knowledge, and she said excitedly: "Can you tell me? Actually, I I really want to go outside to have a look, but Dr. Charlie said that we are different from you, we don’t have masks, and we will die when we step out of Lutai.”

"Outside? There's actually nothing interesting outside. Most of the places are the same as what you can see now. It's an endless sea with no special features at all."

Cheng Mo slowly described to Di Lieba a boring, intriguing and terrifying world. He told Di Lieba that there are painful diseases, desperate hunger, endless struggles and terrible wars outside.

Di Lieba asked Cheng Mo various questions like a curious baby, and sighed after learning that the world outside Lutai was so scary: "Living in Lutai is so happy."

Cheng Mo also echoed: "Yes! Living in Lutai is really a happy thing."

The two chatted while drinking, until the sea was white, and the dark blue sky gradually faded. Before the sun rose, misty mist floated up on the edge of the cliff, swirling around the edge of the Lutai protruding from the cliff. , like a light sea of ​​clouds.

The flags and silks floating in the air were wet and hung down feebly, blowing over people's bodies made people feel cold, as if the cold rain was coming, and the bonfire in the middle of the deer platform was buzzing with the wind, Many people started to leave, some walked towards the palace, and some towards the exit of Lutai.

Cheng Mo saw Jing Xing walking over with drunkenness, squinting his eyes, and forced himself to walk over, and waved to Cheng Mo, "Let's go!"

Cheng Mo nodded and stood up from the wooden couch, Di Lieba beside him also stood up, the cold wind blew the hair on her forehead and the corner of her scarlet skirt, Cheng Mo turned his head and said: "Goodbye, I have to go!"

"Aren't you leaving after seeing the sunrise? The sunrise in Lutai is so beautiful!" Di Lieba said drunkenly while tugging at Cheng Mo's sleeve.

"No, I don't like sunrise." Cheng Moyan said insincerely.

"Really? You are really weird. You don't like such a beautiful sunrise."

"Well, we masked people are all weirdos." Cheng Mo said.

"Then will you come to Lutai again tomorrow?" Di Lieba asked with her eyes wide and wet.

"Probably not."

Di Lieba was a little disappointed, with her mouth flattened, and her body tilted towards Cheng Mo's arms, "It's hard to meet a masked man who can chat! Then when will you come next time?"

"I don't know." He didn't have much emotion in his tone, after a short pause, Cheng Mo said, "I have to go."

Di Lieba reluctantly let go of Cheng Mo's sleeve, and waved to Cheng Mo, "Then goodbye, Lin Zhinuo, I will remember your name."

"Goodbye." Cheng Mo didn't call her name, he didn't know what to call her, and he didn't miss her, turned around and walked quickly towards Jing Xing who had already walked down the Lutai.

Di Lieba shouted loudly towards Cheng Mo's back: "Remember to look for me next time you come to Lutai."

Her voice seemed to be trembling in the damp sea breeze, Cheng Mo didn't look back, just waved his hand, this ordinary dialogue is no different from his going to Little Swan several times, and those ladies always look forward to his reunion like this visit.

But this momentary silence was filled with inexplicable and incredible sadness, and he couldn't understand how these two farewells, which were considered ordinary, contained elements that made him sad.
It's like standing on an uninhabited island and seeing a ship pass by in front of him, he shouted loudly, waved the flag, lit a bonfire, but the other party remained indifferent, leaving no trace in the distance passed away.

-----------------------

Cheng Mo changed his clothes in the courtyard of the gatehouse at the entrance. He didn't know if he had passed the test at Jingxing, if he passed, he would probably see Jing Quan today, and then tomorrow he would leave Penglai with Shen Mengjie and Cheng Xiao Shan, if he doesn't pass the test, then either Penglai Mountain is bad, or Shen Mengjie and Cheng Xiao are bad. As for him, logically speaking, he should be able to leave at any time
Cheng Mo restrained his urge to look and touch his ring finger, put on the clown mask and walked out of the changing room, the maid in thin silk clothes squatted to see him and Jing Xing away, walked out of the red palace door, Cheng Mo glanced back, the door was slowly closed, the golden door knocker was held in the mouth of the golden skull, shining brightly in the faint morning light.

Jing Xing rubbed his cheeks, yawned and said, "Let's go! I'm really sleepy."

Jing Xing stepped forward and walked up the plank road, and said vaguely: "It's a pity that I don't have the qualification to stay overnight. If I have the qualification to stay overnight, I will sleep here."

Cheng Mo followed up, pretending to be interested and said, "How can I be eligible to stay?"

"Spend money to buy, or complete the tasks issued by the emperor. In fact, the tasks issued by the emperor are tasks issued by our organization. Some of them are issued by Lutai members with money from the organization." Jing Xing said.

"By the way, didn't someone mention Dr. Charlie at the beginning? The clone just mentioned it too, is it your brother?" Cheng Mo pretended not to care.

Jing Xing looked back at Cheng Mo, "Don't worry about this."

"Ask casually, if it's hard to say, forget it." Cheng Mo said lightly.

Afterwards, the two of them stopped talking, walked quickly through the plank road, and then turned into the corridor that crossed the corner of the mountain. After exiting the not too long corridor, they arrived at the entrance of the cave hidden in the primitive jungle. The sky was already bright , The mist permeates between the mountains and forests, and it is surrounded by streams flowing towards the low-lying places, and the quiet birds are singing in a long green.

Amidst these silent sounds, Cheng Mo could vaguely hear a slight breathing sound. This deliberately suppressed breathing sound definitely did not come from Jing Xing in front, but on the other side of the stream, behind the dense ferns
Cheng Mo is sure that they are not the Jing family brothers. They don't need to use such a primitive way to monitor themselves. Penglai Wonderland is full of their surveillance and bugs.

So, who could be hiding in the shadows?
