Speaking to this point, I finally understood. It turned out that Zhang Ziyuan and Yu Die were really in love with each other, and it was only because the great warlord snatched Yu Die away to be his concubine that he separated the two of them.
So why do I feel like I'm guilty of a third party? Are they supposed to be together?
I didn't say anything and continued to listen to their conversation.
"Yeah, but I've always remembered your vow to marry me, so I've always been waiting for you by the river. I don't know how long I've been waiting for this, but why hasn't I come!?"
As Yu Die spoke, her tears fell and wet the front of her clothes. Even I couldn't help but be moved.
Zhang Ziyuan became even more clear-headed: "That's right, but later on, I heard that you jumped down the river and killed yourself, and you were saved before you could even save yourself. You might have forgotten it yourself, but I remember very clearly that it's not that I don't want to find you, it's that I can't find you anymore. "
I trembled in fear when I heard Zhang Ziyuan's words. What, Yu Die is already dead?
However, Yu Die was completely oblivious to it: "What nonsense are you spouting, I have been waiting for you, how could you jump into the river and commit suicide? Anyway, now that we've met, we won't be separated anymore, right? "
Zhang Ziyuan's eyes became clear as he shook his head gently, "Yu Die, don't be silly. You really jumped into the river and committed suicide. I am very grateful, but after a while I also passed away because of old age, and I didn't even have time to respond to your waiting. "
So it was precisely because of this that Zhang Ziyuan fell sick in the past, and it was clearly because of lovesickness that he died young. Thinking about this made me depressed again.
"So I'm dead, and you're dead too. You're just in time, we were able to be a ghost couple in the mortal world, aren't we happy and carefree?"
Yu Die's suggestion was good, but it sounded reliable, so the two of them were even.
Since I'm the third person between the two of them, just give up!
I was shocked by my own thoughts. This was an illusion, how could I have fallen into that imaginary world with Zhang Ziyuan?
Seeing Yu Die becoming more and more emotional as she spoke and slowly walking towards Zhang Ziyuan, I became even more vigilant. I didn't know when she would make a move to harm Zhang Ziyuan.
What he did not expect was that Zhang Ziyuan actually took a few steps back, as if he wasn't that moved anymore.
I know that it was I who let you down back then, but I hope you understand that the past can only be the past, regardless of whether you are a human or a ghost or just an illusion. What I want to tell you is, our fates have ended, and it is impossible for us to continue our former fates.
Zhang Ziyuan's words moved me to tears. It turned out that he wasn't immersed in the past and couldn't extricate himself from it. In his heart, he valued me more than anything else.
I was wrong not to believe him just now.
"Zhang Ziyuan, you …"
"My wife, hide far away. This place is dangerous …"
He clearly knew that this illusion was dangerous for us, but he told me to step back. He really doesn't know what this person is thinking.
"I won't dodge. This person clearly has ill intentions towards you, I won't allow it!" Now that I have Qian Jin, the thought of giving up on myself vanished from my mind. Why should I give my man to another woman? Don't even think about it!
Let's not even talk about illusions. Even if it's a real person, I still have to let her know that this old lady's man isn't someone that you can just casually take away!
Thinking about this, I thrust my sword towards the red graft girl. I knew that even if Zhang Ziyuan no longer loved her, he would not be able to kill her.
Zhang Ziyuan didn't seem to realize that I was so brave and ferocious. He looked at me in surprise.
If a person in the illusion world were to be seen through, they would be extremely easy to deal with.
The woman in red went crazy, and I pushed him back in a few steps.
"You, you heartless person. You even swore an oath to me, and forgot your old love once you found a new love. Miss, I advise you not to trust any man, none of them are good stuff!"
The red-clothed Yu Die seemed to have gotten angry from the embarrassment. Since she started to make fun of Zhang Ziyuan in front of me, I definitely wouldn't believe his nonsense anymore.
"Even if all the men in the world were to die, Zhang Ziyuan would still love me!" He didn't know where his confidence came from, but he actually blurted out those words and glanced at Zhang Ziyuan from the corner of his eyes. As expected, after I finished speaking, he immediately covered his mouth and started to laugh.
He must have known that I had overturned a vinegar jar, it's bad, really shameful, or maybe I was just overthinking it, Zhang Ziyuan's smile can't be happier just because I care about him?
No matter what, I have taken out both sides' thoughts today, including mine and Zhang Ziyuan's.
Right at this moment, the illusion in front of him disappeared, and Yu Die transformed into a wisp of red smoke as she drifted away. Looking at Zhang Ziyuan's expression, I knew that he still wasn't willing to part with me, but so what?
The images returned to the tunnel I had just entered, and I saw that, like the last one, one side of the tunnel was bright, as if the exit were there, while the other side was getting darker.
"Finding this pattern is not wrong. Look, the light is getting brighter and brighter over there."
We walked along the tunnel's bright light, but what was waiting there was actually a living person!
We don't know this person, but his height and build prove that he is a buried zombie.
Zhang Ziyuan had done a lot of research on this matter. Normally, when a person dies, their soul would leave their body and turn into a ghost. After going through the Corpse Transformation, the corpse did not have any consciousness or spirit. It was like a walking corpse, the spirit flesh had been separated, the entire corpse was completely devoid of water, it felt very dry and terrifying.
The corpse in front of him seemed to have completely lost all its moisture. It was moving in a very strange way, as if it was about to break apart.
I know that Zhang Ziyuan still minded about all the illusions that just happened in the tunnel, but I didn't say anything along the way. It's already been so long, and to him, it's already been a hundred years ago.
I lightly pulled on Zhang Ziyuan's sleeve. "You, don't blame me, right?"
"Hmm? What do I blame you for? " Zhang Ziyuan looked very puzzled.
"Yes, it was just now. I chopped that one down with my sword. The red-clothed young lady, Yu Die …"
Looking at my nervous mood, Zhang Ziyuan actually started to smile, "You don't have to blame yourself for this matter. This is originally a matter of the past, and if it weren't for today's matter, I wouldn't even want to bring it up. It's not that I don't dare to bring it up again, it's just that I don't think it's necessary."
Zhang Ziyuan closed his eyes in silence for a while, then opened them again: "I know what happened just now, and that you're not feeling well either, but every word I say is true, and that I, Zhang Ziyuan, am ungrateful to you. Actually, after I passed away from serious illness, I went to the bridge where Yu Die threw herself into the river to find her. Now that she was no longer there, she chose to give up this sorrowful life of hers in the end to enter the reincarnation cycle of the Bridge of Helplessness. "From then on, I know that our fates have come to an end …"
Actually, even if Zhang Ziyuan didn't explain to me, I wouldn't mind, but hearing how he could patiently explain to me, I was still very happy.
When Zhang Ziyuan was alive, he was no longer the same person as he is now. I would no longer care about his romantic affairs, and since he said that his fate with that girl was over, I would no longer hold on to him.
"Relax, I really didn't care. Look at how nervous you are." At first, I was a little bit jealous. After all, this illusion is the expression of your heart, which is why such an illusion appeared in your heart from that woman. But later on, I understood that you really put it down … "
His mood just a moment ago was like he was overjoyed and sorrowful. From the initial taste of his food to his dejected mood later on, there was hope again. It was truly mixed.
"Be careful, the zombies in front seem to have discovered us."
Shuo Yue reminded them, only then did I realize that the zombies were walking towards us. If this was all an illusion, I wonder if the zombies here were also fake.
"Wifey, remember not to use metal weapons to cut it. If I'm not wrong, there should be cadaveric poison on his body."
When the Space Abyssal Sword that was pulled out heard this reminder, it put it back, but thinking about it, I have been researching the cultivation manual given to me by the silverleaf granny and have never used it.
Wouldn't it be perfect if those techniques were used to deal with this zombie?
As I recalled the spells I had studied, I felt a surge of zhenqi coursing through my body. Ever since he had broken most of the seals on the Fengdu, he didn't know how his powers worked, but he had never dared to act. He was afraid that he would hurt others.
As he was thinking, his hand formed a seal, and he pushed the zombie towards him.
Shuo Yue is already injured and cannot attack again, Zhang Ziyuan's state of mind was also affected by what happened, so he can still be considered to be fighting.
After unsealing it, the zombie was so unstable that it didn't know how to dodge, and it directly hit him in the forehead. However, zombies were originally just dried corpses without souls. They didn't have any intelligence or ideas, and just relied on finding the breath of a living person to find the target. That way, it would be much easier to deal with them.
After the zombie was knocked to the ground, Zhang Ziyuan was actually stunned for a moment. "Wifey, when did you become so powerful?"
I looked at my own hand and was shocked. Ever since I undid the seal, I have never tested my true strength. Now, it seems that I have become very powerful!
The corpse that was knocked to the ground didn't get up. It was on the verge of falling apart as it continued to struggle on the ground.
"This tunnel doesn't have any small traps. There's only this zombie, so how the hell are we going to activate it?" I looked through the tunnel and found a zombie. There were no other strange traps.
Could it be that the activation mechanism had to land on this zombie's body?
"Miss Su Su, I have something with me that I think you will need right now." Shuo Yue took something out from her chest pocket and handed it to me.
