Chapter 179 Who Was he?

Zhang Yunyan looked at the unconscious man. She was still suspicious, and she still couldn’t believe that he was the only one who was caught by Jiuyou Sage that night.

 

Turtle Elf was not doubtful at all. It asserted emphatically that the man was the caught one that night, because there was no foreign man in the cave before that, so this can be certain.

 

At that night, after Jiuyou Sage grabbed this man, he started to find Zhang Yunyan before he did anything to the man. After she escaped, they still did not stop, and they could not feel at ease until they catch the outsiders.

 

Later, Yellow Hair King Ghost and Green Hair King Ghost rushed back and reported the illness of Jiuyou Spirit Saint. The old devil listened and became anxious, and after leaving some words for Turtle Elf, he and the Four King Ghosts hurried away.

 

Tonight, a few devils rushed back to the cave from the place of Jiuyou Spirit Saint. They had not had time to kill the man, nor did they catch other men.

 

Zhang Yunyan listened to the explanation of Turtle Elf, but she was still skeptical. She really hoped that he was the man who was caught that night, and that he was her benefactor Shikong.

 

Turtle Elf was also somewhat puzzled. He said to himself, “This is the important cave with many traps, not somewhere to shut people up. Why did the Sage put him here?”

 

Zhang Yunyan was confused and wanted to find it out. She leaned over and called, but the man did not respond and did not move. She pushed him gently, and the man still showed no response.

 

“It’s no use. He’s already dead. Oh, I didn’t expect that the old devil had already done it. Poor man...”

 

Turtle Elf shook his head in agony and sighed for the vanishing of another young life.

 

In the dim light, Zhang Yunyan couldn’t see the man’s face clearly and could only distinguish his dress. He was wearing a luxurious dress, some accessories and diamond rings made of gold, silver and jade, not a Buddhist costume. What was even more suspicious was that the man wore his long black hair in a bun, so he was not a Buddhist.

 

Zhang Yunyan shook her head and sighed, and she became bitterly disappointed.

 

She was very sad and said to herself, “He is not the young monk Shikong but some other man. Who is he? It’s unexpected to me that such a wealthy person has also been caught.”

 

“They wouldn’t care about rich or poor. They are bound to catch whoever makes them satisfied.”

 

Turtle Elf looked at the man who closed his eyes tightly and remained motionless. It was puzzled and disagreed with Zhang Yunyan’s words.

 

Its brows were slightly wrinkled, and it said to itself, “It’s weird. At that night, the Sage only caught one person, and there was no second one. When did this person come in? I know it every time when those people came back with the people they caught, and I haven’t heard of this person.”

 

Zhang Yunyan said, “Maybe you were not there when this person was caught, so you don’t know.”

 

Turtle Elf shook his head and said affirmatively, “No, they would tell me when they catch people, because they want to shock me with this and make me clean up the mess. This person is the man who was caught that night. There is no second person besides him. As for whether he is a monk, and whether his name is Shikong, I can’t tell.”

 

Zhang Yunyan was shocked by those words. The horrible scene of that night was still vivid in her mind and there was no mistake.

 

On the side of Qinglong Mountain, in the bright flash, she saw clearly that Jiuyou Sage did catch a man. At that time, she thought it was a friend from Buddhism of the old devil, and who was sick.

 

That man wore a Buddhist costume. There was no doubt that it must be her benefactor Shikong, and that it couldn’t be someone else who wore expensive accessories and diamond rings with luxurious clothes. It couldn’t be this person.

 

However, listening to the words of Turtle Elf, this person was the only man and only one who was caught that night. He should be Shikong.

 

However, why was he dressed as a vulgar? How did his Buddhism costumes disappear? Did Jiuyou Sage change his clothes?

 

As for this idea, Zhang Yunyan could believe it, because if the devil wanted to eat Shikong, there would be no need to change his dressing, otherwise it would be making an unnecessary move, which was also meaningless.

 

Besides, this man had long black hair, so he was not a monk, which meant he couldn’t be Shikong. That was to say, it was not this person who got caught that night.

 

Turtle Elf couldn’t tell who the man really was, and Zhang Yunyan did not know either. It was another mystery that they couldn’t figure out.

 

Seeing the rich young man dressed in luxurious clothes and wearing long hair, Zhang Yunyan did not believe that he was one of the people caught that night, because she saw the caught man wearing Buddhism clothes. It must be Shikong.

 

Turtle Elf couldn’t agree with her. It asserted that this was the only one caught by the Sage. There were no others, so it couldn’t be wrong.

 

Zhang Yunyan and Turtle Elf both said their words with certainty, and they were sure of their own identification.

 

However, only one of them could be right. Who was it?

 

When this person was caught, and who he really was, there could be only one answer. Zhang Yunyan didn’t know, and Turtle Elf didn’t know either. She and Turtle Elf both believed that they couldn’t be wrong and the other made a mistake.

 

Yunyan did not see the face of Shikong, and could not see the appearance of the man in front of her clearly, so she could not firmly believe her own identification.

 

She sighed silently. Although this person had long hair and wore common costume, she could only believe that Turtle Elf was saying the truth and he was the only man caught that night.

 

Turtle Elf lived in the Devil’s Cave. It was clearer about the things here. Zhang Yunyan was unable to argue, but the mystery in her heart still remained unsolved. She hoped that she was wrong, and this person was the one caught that night. She hoped that her benefactor Shikong was still alive.

 

Yunyan knew that the benefactor wore Buddhism costume. This man dressed in luxurious clothes was by no means Shikong. Her wish could only be a beautiful dream. Besides, after seeing this person, she did not have the inexplicable feeling when she saw Shikong, so it would not be the same person.

 

Although Zhang Yunyan did not think that this man was the little monk Shikong, she was still imagining. Driven by eagerness, she had already treated this person as benefactor Shikong. She prayed that the benefactor had not been killed by the demons and devils, and put the beautiful prayers on the man.

 

Yunyan knew that this was a self-deception and a delusion, so she kept it a secret. This was the inevitable reaction of being grateful, the only expectation of the benefactor, and a comfort to the painful soul.

 

Seeing the motionless man--her benefactor “Shikong” in her heart, Zhang Yunyan felt sad and angry. She shed tears.

 

“Shikong” was dead. It was pathetic. He was so young, and he had powerful kung fu. His youth had just begun, but he had passed away like a withered flower. It was heartbreaking and mournful.

 

Shikong’s death happened in a way that was expected. As Turtle Elf said, the only ending for anyone who entered the Devil’s Cave was death, and there was no way to escape.

 

Zhang Yunyan would also be like this. She could not escape the end of death. Sooner or later she would die like Shikong.

 

At this moment, the words of the Red Hair King Ghost were not wrong. Those guys were strong and were the masters here. Zhang Yunyan was the weak. The law of jungle could not be changed, and they were unable to fight the rules, especially in the cave where the demons and devils were rampant.

 

Seeing the dead “Shikong”, Yunyan felt heartbroken. She kept shedding tears and weeping. She was crying for her benefactor Shikong, and also felt sad for the unfortunate man in front of her. In grief, she also had some comfort. In any case, the man in front of her, also the “Shikong” in her mind, was not as miserable as she imagined.

 

It seemed that he was not very painful when he died. His body retained complete with no blood on it. His clothes were neat and tidy. Perhaps he did not die in pain, and this was some relief in all the misfortune.

 

Yunyan looked at “Shikong” who seemed asleep, and she felt somewhat relieved.

 

However, this comfort still couldn’t eliminate the doubts in her heart. This man was not only dressed in luxurious clothes, but also had long black hair. This was not a Buddhist costume. Was he the little monk “Shikong” or not?

 

Her doubts were superfluous. She knew that this was a vulgar man, not a monk. How could he be “Shikong”?

 

If thinking about it carefully, it was not surprising at all. It was also the inevitable reaction of Yunyan’s inner thoughts. It was her desire which was expressed naturally.

 

She had been thinking about her benefactor Shikong, and had been guilty for the death of her benefactor. At this time, she accidentally saw the man in front of her, and she would inevitably associate him with the benefactor. There was a glimmer of hope and a desire in her heart. She really hoped that this person was her benefactor Shikong.

 

Looking at the motionless young man, Zhang Yunyan shook her head gently and sighed silently.

 

She said to herself in her mind, “Jiuyou Sage is fond of killing, and he will not let go of any prey in his hand. Shikong dared to fight, so the Sage would not let him die quietly. But why did not the old devil eat this man? He’s not Shikong? Then who is he?”

 

Turtle Elf didn’t have so many thoughts and doubts, and it believed that the man was the only one caught that night. It persuaded Zhang Yunyan to stop thinking about it anymore. It was important to escape quickly, otherwise it would be too late.

 

In doubt, Yunyan understood that although the man was dead, the Sage would not let him go. Maybe he rushed away for something that night, and he didn’t have time to eat the man, so he was temporarily stored here. The old devil will swallow his flesh and blood sooner or later, probably tonight.

 

Thinking of this, Zhang Yunyan felt sad and her tears ran down again. Although “Shikong” in her mind was dead, he still couldn’t escape from the claws, and he would horribly suffer in her imagination. She was very angry and very painful. She wanted to take away the dead “benefactor” and keep the intact body of “Shikong”.

 

Yunyan shook her head silently. Her life was on a line. She would die in the hands of these devils sooner or later, and she would have the same consequence as her benefactor. She couldn’t even escape herself, and she wanted to protect “Shikong” from the devils. It was like asking for a moon.

 

Outside the cave, evil wind was whistling, and there was some ongoing shouting. The poor nerves of the two were being annoyed by those sounds.

 

Turtle Elf was panicked and urged Zhang Yunyan to go quickly. If they were stopped by the devils, everything would be over.

 

Yunyan felt painful inside. She cried and tried to tidy up the clothes for “Shikong”, which was the last she could do for her benefactor. Besides this, she had nothing to do.

 

Suddenly, Zhang Yunyan screamed. She shocked himself, and shocked Turtle Elf.

 

It turned out that Yunyan was shocked when tidying up his clothes, and she was struck dumb.

 

She immediately grasped the man’s wrist and then exclaimed, “He is not dead. He is still alive! He is still alive!”

 

Turtle Elf was very surprised, and rushed to check it out. The pulse of the person was beating slowly and his breathing was very weak, so he was still alive. It felt very surprised, very excited and more stressed.

 

Zhang Yunyan was very happy but puzzled, “Turtle Elf, why doesn’t he wake up? Is he sick?”

 

Turtle Elf shook his head, “He is not sick. It seems that he has been magically applied by the Sage, and his body and mind have been closed. Well, although he can still breathe, it’s almost the same as death for he has no awareness.”

 

Hearing this, Zhang Yunyan anxiously asked, “Turtle Elf, can you dispel the magic to let him...”

 

Turtle Elf was so scared that he shook his body and exclaimed, “Oh no, the trap was triggered. Let’s go!”
