When Hua Ruxue opened her eyes again, there was deathly silence all around. She seemed to be in a closed space, unable to see her fingers.
She summoned the fox fire, and the fox fire danced at her fingertips, illuminating the narrow space.
In front of him is a square and circular sword pool, the water of the pool is frozen into a deep blue, and in the center of the pool is a rusty iron sword.
There are two characters engraved on the sword body near the hilt. It must be that it has been old for a long time, and the writing is blurry, so it is impossible to tell what the characters are.
Hua Ruxue slowly approached Tie Jian. As she approached, the ice in the sword pool gradually melted, and Tie Jian let out a series of whines, as if it had lost its soul.
Walking to Tie Jian's side, she finally figured out what the familiar aura was. It was the aura of the little sword spirit!
Is this the Wuwei Sword?
Different from her impression of a sword with a sharp edge that cuts through iron like mud, and a restrained light, the sword in front of her has iron embroidery on the blade, making it dull and dull. It looks like an ordinary iron sword no matter how you look at it.
The iron sword seemed to sense what she was thinking, and the sword trembled violently, as if calling her to pull out the sword.
Hua Ruxue stood on the water and made no move. She looked around, recalling the rumors about the eighth floor of Sword Burial Mound.
It is rumored that the eighth layer contains sealed spiritual objects that go against God's will.
Since it was a seal, she couldn't touch it randomly to avoid falling into the seal herself.
Thinking like this, she turned around and planned to return to the ground to find a way out. Her eyes swept across the surface of the pool. Suddenly she looked at the bottom of the pool. There seemed to be a formation at the bottom of the pool.
When Hua Ruxue took a closer look, just one glance made her break into a cold sweat.
She hurriedly looked at her soul sea. At the bottom of the soul sea was a sealing formation composed of one hundred and one formations. The lines of that formation were the same as those at the bottom of the pool!
The same one hundred and one formations, there is no doubt that the remnant body of the First Demon is sealed here!
The iron sword in the center of the pool is like the twelve giant pillars of Bai Zang Valley, like the reincarnation stone in her soul sea. It is the formation eye of the sealing formation. As long as the formation eye is not destroyed, the remaining body will not break out of the seal.
This sword must not be pulled out!
After making up her mind, Hua Ruxue walked cautiously out of the pool, but the iron sword behind her didn't want to let her go.
A huge suction force drew her closer to the iron sword again. The moment her fingers came close to the sword, Hua Ruxue felt the sea of her soul vibrate.
She held her head in pain, and some force was looking through her memories unscrupulously.
No, it’s not about looking at it, it’s about taking it!
She watched helplessly as all the memories of the Little Sword Spirit disappeared in her soul. Until she mentioned the name Little Sword Spirit, there was no more waves in her eyes.
Tie Jian took back the other half of his own memory. He shook the sword helplessly and let out bursts of sword sounds, like a child who had lost a treasure crying loudly.
After a long time, the sound of the sword stopped, and a green light suddenly appeared on the sword body.
Hua Ruxue stared blankly at the rusty iron sword in the center of the sword pool, trying hard to find her lost memory, but she couldn't remember what she had lost.
She rummaged back and forth in the sea of souls until she entered a secret corner, and the dust-laden memories suddenly poured out. Along with those memories, the light in her eyes gradually dimmed.
For a moment, she seemed to remember something. From the moment she had memory, she had been living in a closed space, like a paper doll, so weak that a cool breeze could kill her.
Her body couldn't move. Occasionally, someone would come up to her and say something, but she couldn't understand any language, couldn't make any sound, couldn't see anything, and seemed to be abandoned and alone in the world.
Until one day, a stone suddenly appeared in front of her. With the appearance of the stone, she seemed to have some kind of connection with the world.
Her body began to grow slowly, her limbs could stretch, her eyes could open, and she gradually understood the meaning of those sounds. Z.br>
But she was still so weak that she could break at the slightest touch. She could feel hungry but she couldn't eat anything. She could clearly feel the subtle spiritual fluctuations, but her fragile body could not withstand any pressure. Even a sudden change in temperature or a thunder might kill her.
Life.
The pain and fear of death accompanied her growing up.
Even after a long time, she is still a small wrinkled ball, like a newborn who has just come into this world. The world didn't seem to welcome her.
A chaotic voice often sounds in my mind: "Things that should not exist, things that are despised by the law, things that are abandoned by the world, go and prove the meaning of your existence."
"Do you want to be a human or a monster? A fairy or a ghost? A god or a devil?"
Those voices seemed to come from far away in time and space. Sometimes they were coaxing to get an answer from her, and sometimes they were impatiently urging her to make a decision quickly.
"Do you want to be a human or a demon?"
She doesn’t understand what a human is and what a demon is. I don’t even understand what it means to be a human, and what it means to be a demon.
Why ask her this question?
Until one day, the people who accompanied her disappeared one after another, leaving only a stone. From that day on, she forgot everything related to death and seemed to have gained a real new life.
She became just like normal people, only having a pair of fox ears and nine tails. Her body gradually became stronger and she was able to live safely even in the snow-covered Qingyang Mountain.
During the three years in Xueji Pavilion, there were people who liked and cared for her, there was delicious morning dew, and there was a warm house. She thought it would be good if she could continue to live like this.
But she was abandoned because she had no talent.
During her seven years in the Forest of Beasts, she discovered for the first time the difference between humans and demons. Humans are the enemies of demons and beasts, cunning, hypocritical, and do whatever they can. They abandoned her without even a single hello.
She gradually adapted to the life in the Beast Forest. There were black rabbits who were not afraid of foxes and red foxes who did not eat rabbits. They gave her shelter. She thought it would be nice if she could continue to live like this.
But later, she and the monster beasts fought back against the monks, and the forest of beasts was bloodbathed. Only she survived with the help of Little Stone at the critical moment.
During the four years in Luoying Valley, she discovered that people are friends of monsters, monsters will be demonized, and those people are working hard to protect the monsters from being demonized. At that time, she decided to stay in Qingyang Mountain and protect Qingyang Mountain.
But the demon's seal was destroyed, the demonic energy spread, and Qingyang Mountain turned into purgatory overnight.
The place she wanted to protect could not be protected at all.
"Do you want to be a human or a demon?"
Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded in her mind. Hua Ruxue's eyes were empty, as if she had lost her mind.
"As a human being, you can have rights, status, strength, and wealth. You can have everything you want." The voice seemed to be whispering gently, but there was no warmth in the words, just like charity given by a person in power.
What about the demon?
"If you are a monster..." The voice suddenly became eerie and creepy, "If you are a monster, then you are the enemy of the world! You will die in its hands sooner or later! The moment your wish comes true, it is yours Death date!"
The voice gradually became crazy, predicting her future word by word.
What is her wish?
She vaguely remembered the agreement she made with the Samsara Stone when she was in the Forest of Beasts. Her wish was to become stronger.
She remembered again that she had told Samsara Stone and Su Yi that she was a fox.
Although Samsara Stone and Su Yi both think she is not a fox, she is! No one can change this.
She is a fox!
"Is this your answer? No! I won't allow it!" The voice kept shouting.
"Damn it, why don't you die! Go to hell! Go to hell!"
"You destroyer of the world, die quickly!"
Hua Ruxue felt extremely helpless at the sound that she didn't know where it came from.
While saying that the day her wish comes true will be the day of her death, he also calls her the person who will destroy the world.
If she is going to die eventually, how can she destroy the world?
If she will eventually perish, why doesn't this voice come and kill her?
Really incompetent.
"Incompetence" 2
The word is her perception of this sound.
"Incompetent?" The voice sneered, and a violent storm seemed to be brewing behind the laughter.
The soul sea was shaken, Hua Ruxue curled up in pain, she felt a splitting headache, and the soul sea seemed to be exploded.
The seal at the bottom of the soul sea began to flicker with a green light, and the light gradually weakened. The body of the Samsara Stone swayed uncontrollably as the soul sea turbulent again and again.
As the seal power in the soul sea weakened, the rust on the iron sword gradually disappeared, as if the lost power was returning little by little. Finally, the blurred writing on the sword became clear, which was the word "无为".
Wisps of demonic energy slowly overflowed from the seal. Just when the Samsara Stone was about to leave the center of the formation, a brand new sword fell from the sky and was firmly inserted into the center of the formation, and the seal returned to silence.
Immediately afterwards, due to the disappearance of the iron sword, the seal in the sword pool on the eighth floor of Burial Sword Post began to collapse. A demonic hand broke through the seal, and thick demonic energy instantly filled the eighth floor.
The eighth floor was simply a confined space, and the demonic energy had nowhere to escape, but the demonic hand began to hit the stone wall above his head, trying to open an exit.
In the Hua Ruxue Soul Sea, the iron sword trembled anxiously. He wanted to return to the eighth level and seal the devil's hand again, but if he left, the seal in the soul sea would be destroyed again.
Just as Tie Jian was hesitating, a strange force suddenly appeared around him, and that force guided the demon hand and the demonic energy to flow into the sea of Hua Ruxue's soul.
Upon seeing this, Tie Jian revealed a gap in the seal in the soul sea to welcome the arrival of the devil's hand.
Hua Ruxue was corroded by the evil spirit and eventually lost consciousness.
A quarter of an hour later, the demonic hand sealed on the eighth floor of the Burial Sword Post was successfully transferred to Hua Ruxue's soul sea. The iron sword disappeared and inserted into the formation for three points. There were a few more rust stains on the sword body, and the blade also disappeared. A gap was created.
This time, with the help of a strange force, the seal was easier than the one in Bai Zanggu. The devil's hand showed almost no resistance and was very obedient.
After everything calmed down, the figure who had been hiding in the dark walked into the destroyed sword pool. He picked up the unconscious Hua Ruxue and disappeared on the eighth floor of the Sword Burial Mound.
