Su Zhi said that he had planned for thousands of years in order to destroy the seal of Shimo's remnant body.
Judging from the extent of the hollowing out of the peaks around Baizang Valley, Su Zhi must have been working secretly for no less than three hundred years.
One of the places where the remaining body of the First Demon is sealed is the Bai Zang Valley in Qingyang Mountain, and this will not change.
Hua Ruxue wanted to find out one thing. Fourteen years ago, Su Huaiqian brought her back to Qingyang Mountain from the Never-Returning Forest. Was it an accident or Su Zhi's deliberate guidance?
Did Su Zhi choose to make her the container for the remnant body of the First Demon after he met her, or was it before that?
"Why did you choose me?" Hua Ruxue asked again. This point was particularly important.
When she doesn't know the opponent's final intentions, she needs to figure out her own weight in the opponent's layout. She needs to know whether her chess piece is irreplaceable.
In the face of absolute strength, only by not being replaced can she ensure her own safety. In this way, she is 10% more sure of breaking through!
"Why?" Su Zhi repeated these two words, as if asking himself.
After a long time, Su Zhi saw Hua Ruxue's face as pale as paper and realized that he had accidentally become angry.
He calmed down some of the pressure on him and asked, "Why do you think that is?"
As soon as the pressure subsided, a trace of color returned to Hua Ru's snow-white face. She felt that her legs were weak and Husheng had never been so tired. It was as if she had been thrown into the bottom of a sea of fire, soaked in water, and then fished out. The fox was sweating profusely.
Facing the insidious and unpredictable old acquaintance, Hua Ruxue decisively chose to abandon her image. She sat limply on the ground. What image did she want? It's important to save your life!
She breathed in the air eagerly, and a breath of cold wind filled her lungs, choking her and coughing violently several times. Z.br>
"It's better to come from Luoying Valley." Hua Ruxue sighed, tightly wrapped her cloak and huddled into a ball, losing the composure she had just now.
Speaking of Luo Ying Valley, she couldn't help but think of the scene when she finally entered Luo Ying Valley, "Oh! Tell me, why did you destroy Luo Ying Valley when you were so good?"
She said it carelessly, but she never thought that Su Zhi would respond seriously:
"If Luoying Valley is not destroyed, how can you leave Qingyang Mountain?"
Indeed, if the demonic energy had not exploded and destroyed Luoying Valley, Hua Ruxue would never have left Qingyang Mountain just because of the Kunling Pill matter.
But it was these extremely cold words that made Hua Ruxue feel an inexplicable sense of crisis in her heart. She once again had a new understanding of Su Zhi: In addition to the extremely cunning and cunning city, especially the indifferent.
Hua Ruxue shook off the unfounded panic in her heart and responded to Su Zhi's question calmly.
"Su He said that you once fell into a fox hole, so you were very afraid of foxes. The time was exactly fourteen years ago, the year I was taken into Qingyang Mountain by Su Huaiqian. At that time, you had completely become Su Zhi."
"If you say that my entering Qingyang Mountain has nothing to do with you, I don't believe it. You have already chosen me before I entered Qingyang Mountain."
It was no accident that she was chosen, she must be very crucial to Su Zhi's layout.
Su Zhi nodded slightly to confirm her guess.
"What is the deal between you and Su Huaiqian? The demon protection bracelet or the secret method to improve the monster's talent?" Hua Ruxue asked. There must be some kind of intersection between him and Su Huaiqian, so as to ensure that Su Huaiqian becomes a qualified chess piece.
It was no accident that Su Huaiqian would appear in the stone chamber to study ways to improve the monster's talent.
Someone must have secretly guided him to hollow out the peaks around Bai Zang Valley and unknowingly complete the most critical step in destroying the seal!
"You are quite keen, you have both." Su Zhidao.
"In other words, the optimized demon protection bracelet that Su Huaiqian said actually came from you? Su Huaixin was exposed for pretending to claim credit and missed the opportunity to obtain the Life Extension Pill. And Su Huaiqian rekindled the hope of obtaining the Life Extension Pill because of this incident? "
And Su Huaiqian took her into Qingyang Mountain just to get the longevity pill!
After thinking about this, Hua Ruxue only felt her scalp numb. This person had a very deep city and a very dark heart.
Just to lure her into Qingyang Mountain, he actually made so many plans
People use the desires in their hearts to achieve the purpose of destroying the seal step by step.
"You chose Su Huaiqian to take me to Qingyang Mountain because he is dying and desperately wants to get the Life Extension Pill. I can understand this. But if you want to control Su Huaiqian, just give him the Life Extension Pill directly. Why do you have to go around so long? lock up?"
Su Zhi seemed to have heard some funny question and couldn't help laughing.
"Little fox, the human heart is uncontrollable, and the methods cannot be too direct. If you get something directly to your mouth easily, it will only arouse his jealousy, defense, and resistance. On the contrary, guide him to achieve his goal through visible means, and in his heart In addition to awe, there is also gratitude.”
This seemingly reasonable statement caught Hua Ruxue's attention. What she wanted to know more about was Su Zhi's attitude towards her than the so-called methods in Su Zhi's mouth.
Did he use means to better control people's hearts, or did he have to use means for other reasons?
Was his attitude towards her more cautious or more exploitative?
"You have said so much and done so much. To put it bluntly, you just don't want others to pay attention to me." Hua Ruxue frowned and revealed Su Zhi's thoughts with one sentence.
"From the time I was brought into Qingyang Mountain, to the time I successfully became a vessel according to your plan. You want all of this to look reasonable, like an accident or a coincidence."
"Even you can't destroy the seal set by the Prime God alone. You must have other collaborators. You are not the only one who knows that I have become a container!"
"Your layout on Qingyang Mountain, in addition to destroying the seal, also allows me to stay in Qingyang Mountain naturally and become the most suitable container. You want others to know that I have become a container. Accident."
After saying this, Hua Ruxue smiled for the first time in a long time. Taking all the clues into account, she came to a conclusion: Su Zhi's attitude towards her was more cautious than exploitative!
"Am I right about this?"
This shows her importance to Su Zhi's plan. Either she is the only person who can become a container, or there is a bigger secret hidden in her.
What Su Zhi did was to keep her secret.
If she could get some more useful information out of Su Zhi...
Hua Ruxue was just thinking about how to come up with something to say when she saw Su Zhi's face darken at first, then regain his faint smile.
"Little fox, do you have anything else to ask?"
Hua Ruxue was startled by these words. From what he meant, was there a showdown?
She hadn't done anything yet, hadn't figured out what his ultimate goal was, and now was it going to be a showdown?
"If you have anything to ask, just ask."
Hua Ruxue felt happy when she heard this and quickly listed her questions in her mind.
Before she could be happy for a moment, Su Zhi continued: "You can ask, but I won't tell you."
Hua Ruxue: "..."
"Stop talking nonsense." Hua Ruxue's eyebrows knitted together. This person must not have been itchy for three days!
She really wanted to beat this man up, but she couldn't.
Su Zhi glanced out the window with an unclear expression. He whispered: "If you can pass the last test, I will answer all your confusions, and I will know that everything is beyond words."
"What?" What test? What is this person talking about? The topic turned to the test so abruptly?
Thinking about the journey to obtain the Black Iron Order, there were so many assessment tasks, large and small, and any test or not was just a cloud, and she didn’t want it!
Su Zhi patiently explained: "Speaking of which, you still want to thank me. You are too weak, but you are a little clever. You are really overqualified as a chess piece, so I recommended you to the Lord."
Hua Ruxue keenly caught the word "adult" in his words, and she followed up and asked: "Who is your adult?"
From what Su Zhi said, it seemed that he had joined some sect, but she had never heard of any sect that would deal with the ghost clan.
"If you pass the test, I will come to see you." Su Zhi did not answer her question directly, and then he spoke in a unique way.
Shi persuaded:
"Next, are you going to be a chess piece and be manipulated by others all your life? Or are you going to pry into the truth, take charge of the chess game, and change the situation? It's your choice."
Hua Ruxue only cared about three words in Su Zhi's words, which were somewhat deliberately showy, imposing and mysterious: chess pieces, chess game, and truth.
"What truth? The truth of being used as a pawn, or..."
"Of course it is destiny. Maybe you are not interested in "Why were the ghost clan destroyed? Why does this world not allow people to become ghosts or become demons?" But you must want to know why the demon clan is demonized. "Su Zhi said very confidently.
Why are the monsters demonized? This question touched Hua Ruxue's heart. She had thought about this question before, but the more she thought about it, the more confused her thoughts became.
In the end, she, like other monsters, acquiesced that monsters would be disturbed by demonic energy, but humans would not.
Just like people have spiritual roots, but monsters don't.
Su Zhi turned his back to Hua Ruxue and said, "I hope the next meeting won't take too long. As a reward for finding me, I kindly give you a reminder: Beast Tide, Winter Solstice."
As soon as he finished speaking, Su Zhi's figure gradually became transparent and finally disappeared in the yard.
Su Zhi's fake death, the years of careful planning he spent on Qingyang Mountain, his disguise these days, and the ghost refining formation.
All this made Hua Ruxue feel powerless. The power behind him was far beyond her imagination.
Through the conversation just now, she could only confirm that Su Zhi's target was her, and her next plan with Su Zhi was still extremely critical, and her life was safe for the time being.
Hua Ruxue stood under the sun, looking up at the dazzling sun in the sky, her pupils narrowed.
She pondered for a moment. Now she was in the middle of the situation, surrounded by mist. With her current strength, no matter what she did, she could not fight against Su Zhi or get rid of Su Zhi.
It would be better to comply with Su Zhi's wishes, join them, and seek skin from the tiger.
The beast tide is coming, what will happen on the winter solstice?
Winter solstice, winter solstice.
Hua Ruxue suddenly had a flash of inspiration and remembered the three words An Murong left behind when he completely lost consciousness: "Second Winter Solstice."
The two red marks left by An Murong on her arms have disappeared. She had always thought that "two" refers to two people, indicating that the ghost refining formation lacked two sacrifices.
But at this moment, Hua Ruxue had some doubts about the true meaning of "two".
An immature idea flashed through her mind, and Hua Ruxue sighed helplessly. She just thought too much. There are still more than a month before the winter solstice, so now we should consider how to explain the disappearance of "Lin Feng" to them.
And in this case, she would no longer be able to travel with Su Yi in the future. With Su Yi's strength and resourcefulness, she was not worried about his safety, but how should she say it?
She didn't want to tell Su Yi about the reincarnation stone, the remnant body of the First Demon, and the container.
With Su Yi's delicateness, if he told her, he would definitely be able to guess her current situation. Seeking skin from a tiger is enough for her to do it herself, and she must not drag Su Yi into the trap.
She and Su Yi were not the same person.
