The Dharma Sea of ​​the Green Snake

Chapter 253 The World Beyond Mountains and Seas

"The effectiveness of this kind of talisman is limited, and it can only hold them for an hour at most."

Not paying attention to Pei Hong's look of "why didn't you take out such a good thing earlier" in his eyes, the Taoist began to explain in detail the functions and defects of this talisman.

"And there are only a few dozen of these talismans in total. If you run out of these monsters, they will return to their original state."

"So if counted in terms of quantity, these talismans can only buy us two hours of time at most, and the effect may not be as good as imagined."

The Taoist is telling the truth, no one knows whether these vampires have mutated any new abilities, the effect of being immune to life.

In order to maximize the effect and achieve the ultimate goal, the Taoist priests only dared to take out these spells at this time and put all their eggs in one basket.

"In order to prevent any unexpected situation, you must keep an eye on these immobilized monsters."

Sensitively hearing the ominousness in the Taoist's words, County Captain Sun asked instinctively as a result.

"What about you?"

Hearing Lieutenant Sun's question, the Taoist priest who casually handed the spell to an officer beside him smiled.

"You are responsible for guarding these monsters outside, and we are naturally going in to eliminate the culprit inside."

Although the Taoist priest did not clearly explain who is included in the word "we", but the people present are not fools, so they naturally know who this "we" refers to.

"No! I object!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Pei Hong decisively rejected the Taoist priest's proposal.

"I am the parent officer of this side, and you are all people under my rule. I can't let you take risks."

When saying this, Pei Hong glanced at Pei Wende intentionally or unintentionally, as if hinting at something.

"Heh, since you know that you are the parent officer of this side, you should know how heavy the responsibility is on your shoulders."

"Now is not the time to act impulsively. Only practitioners can deal with the culprit inside, and these monsters outside must be guarded at all times."

He didn't care about Pei Hong's hint, and Pei Wende, who already knew the Taoist's intention, retorted unceremoniously.

"Or, as a parent official, you plan to risk the lives of the whole people, just to satisfy the selfishness in your heart?"

As soon as Pei Wende said this, the scene suddenly fell into silence.

For those who knew the relationship between Pei Hong and Pei Wende, it was obvious that the dialogue between the two was not just literal, but also had a deeper level of discord between brothers.

"This future King Ming seems to be a little more interesting than I imagined."

Standing in the corner of the mansion's courtyard, Wu Qi stared at the gate with great interest, as if he saw what was happening outside through the layers of barriers.

"What the hell... do you want to do?"

A familiar roar came from behind Wuqi, and the "resurrected" vampire was staring at the guy in front of him bitterly. Fear and panic could not be concealed in that suppressed voice.

"What do you want to do?"

"Didn't I say that? I just want to continue living. I want to see a more distant future."

With a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, Wuqi turned his head and glanced at the vampire behind him, which looked more like a beast than a human, and explained softly.

"I had already lost interest in you, but I didn't expect you to be able to come back to life under such circumstances. It's a bit unbelievable."

"I admit that I did get a little bit wrong."

"You are not simply an 'undead', your body is gradually immune to all the possibilities that will bring 'death'."

When he said this, Wu Qi's voice paused for a moment before continuing.

"Do you know? Your situation reminds me of a legendary divine bird..."

"I survived the ashes and were reborn from Nirvana. I didn't expect that the well-behaved 'Immortal Blood' would be turned into this inhuman and ghostly appearance by you."

"Or, the 'Immortal Blood' you got from the beginning is a defective product?"

He didn't care about the vampire whose pupils suddenly dilated, Wu Qi just said to himself.

"Now I'm starting to be interested in the Far West beyond the mountains and seas, north of Kunlun..."

"The existence of those so-called 'Varyags' in your memory may be the meaning of my awakening this time!"

"The one-eyed god, the glorious Hall of Valor, the legendary battle of the gods..."

"This is something I didn't know about when I woke up countless times before. It turns out that there are really other continents outside this continent and in the endless ocean."

"Does that mean that the stars we can see are not what we can see?"

"The land ends at the end of the ocean, so what is at the end of the sky?"

"Also, is the starry sky above our heads really the abode of gods?"

"Or, is there really an omnipotent 'god' in this world that I imagined?"

"Not the ones portrayed in epic legends, because I have fought alongside them, so I know they are not real gods."

"The longer I lived and the more I saw, the more I began to question the meaning of my existence."

"Even in a sense, I am a 'god' in the eyes of others, because I will never really die..."

"Luhui, Youkang, Chongming, Qin Zhao, and even now Wuqi..."

"No matter how many names I've changed, I've never been a part of the era in which I've woken up."

"Perhaps only when I find the real god can He truly answer the confusion in my heart."

"So before this, whether it's Guixu, Jiuyou, or the current Hell..."

"There is no place to accommodate my soul and body, and I don't need to forget my past life through constant reincarnation like ordinary people."

Staring blankly at Wu Qi who was becoming more and more crazy, the vampire felt that he could not understand the guy in front of him more and more.

As an undead, the guy in front of him has lived too long.

So long that mythology is just yesterday in his eyes, history is just now in his eyes, and his goal is in the endless and distant future.

"madman……"

In the end, the vampire could only use the word "crazy" to describe the guy in front of him-a lunatic who had gone completely insane because he had lived too long.

Thinking of this, the vampire suddenly felt some kind of unspoken fear about his "eternal life".
