In the underwater cave.
Song Hengjiang, who was reminiscing about the past in the cave, suddenly burst out and left, leaving Jiang Wang, who was about to expire in hiding, to escape.
But that didn't make him feel relaxed.
Because Song Hengjiang left too suddenly and too urgently. There is a great possibility that it is because Du Ruhui is here!
"What to do now? Where to go?" Jiang Wang asked in Tongtian Palace, seemingly a little confused.
"Right here. Not going anywhere." Jiang Yan said.
"But Du Ruhui..."
Jiang Yan interrupted impatiently: "Think about it carefully, can Song Hengjiang allow Du Ruhui to discover the evil demon here? Does he dare to expose the matter of raising the demon? This is still the safest place!"
Jiang Wang was silent.
Jiang Yan changed his tone again and said comfortingly: "You have just been eroded by the inner demon, and you have not completely eliminated it. Now you are mentally confused and unable to make accurate judgments. Just listen to me. You and I are the ones who As one, will I kill myself?”
Maybe it was really the inner demon, or maybe it was the inducement of the blood lines on both sides of the sarcophagus. Jiang Wang's thoughts were indeed complicated at the moment.
He acted a little uneasy, not at all like his usual calm and decisive self.
He was stunned for a moment, then murmured: "How did Du Ruhui track me down? I have the hidden clothes and the means arranged by Yin Guan, so I should not have left any traces."
"Don't worry about this problem. The world's Taoist secrets are as vast as the deep sea. Even the White Bone God knows it, but it is only a drop in the ocean. What Du Ruhui has mastered is beyond our ability to guess. But one thing is certain, since he has reached this point Just looking for it shows that his method still has limitations. So don’t worry too much.”
After Jiang Yan analyzed it methodically, he commanded: "Now, go into the inner cave and take a look. I want to know what Song Hengjiang is up to."
Jiang Wang didn't speak, and he was still a little dizzy. It seemed that the sobriety caused by the fear of death had passed away, and the trance came back again.
He turned around and walked towards the inner cave.
His walking was not stable, and he was even hit by the sarcophagus on the left, making him look very embarrassed. The sarcophagus was motionless, and the ferocious demon inside the coffin was still sleeping.
"Be careful." Jiang Yan belatedly warned.
In the Tongtian Palace, the Sea of Soul Flowers is still blooming, and the Star-Tangled Python is silently entrenched in it without any movement.
The bad thing seems to be just the feeling.
Cross the sarcophagus and come to the front of the cave. The entrance of this cave is semicircular and has obviously been artificially modified. But it's not too detailed.
Snap.
The footsteps were clear.
"Don't make any noise." Jiang Yan reminded again.
"Okay, okay." Jiang Wang reluctantly responded.
So I tried my best to walk in slowly.
When I walked into the inner cave, I realized that there was light here and it was not completely dark.
The light source comes from the middle of the cave, which is a glass-like coffin. Extremely beautiful, extremely cold.
The coffin body emits a faint white light, allowing people to see its shape clearly. This light is very strange. It can only illuminate itself, but not the surrounding area.
Therefore, it was still dark around the glazed coffin.
"Come closer and have a look." Jiang Yan said.
Jiang Wang then walked inside.
There is a stone platform in the middle of the cave, which is strictly regulated, and the glazed coffin is placed on the stone platform.
Jiang Wang stepped over the three stone steps, looked closer, and saw the figure lying in the glazed coffin.
She was an extremely beautiful woman with a delicate face and black hair scattered like a waterfall.
There is a golden paper charm stuck on her lips that must be very stunning. Upward is a small and straight nose, crystal clear. Further up is a pair of charming red phoenix eyes, which are half-open at the moment, with... blood-red ferocious murderous intent surging in them, as if they are about to pounce out at the next moment and fight to the death!
In Tongtian Palace, Mingzhu suddenly jumped! Suddenly he calmed down again.
The moment he saw these blood-colored phoenix eyes, Jiang Wang almost pulled out his Sauvignon Blanc and fought because the killing intent was too real and too strong.
Fortunately, there were interlaced chains engraved with fine runes in the glazed coffin, tightly binding her.
I don't know why, but after resisting the urge to draw the sword, Jiang Wang felt a huge sadness in his heart that came from nowhere.
The violent change of emotions allowed him to break free from his previous confused state.
After calming down and regaining some consciousness, I came up with a name - Song Wanxi.
Is this the sister Song Hengjiang mentioned?
Judging from Song Hengjiang's chatter, Song Wanxi's state in the glazed coffin had lasted for two hundred and eighteen years.
She wasn't dead, but she couldn't be said to be alive either. At least in her eyes, there was no sign of reason.
"What's wrong with her?" Jiang Wang asked.
"She became a demon!" Jiang Yan's voice contained very strong and difficult-to-suppress emotions, but they were very complicated and indistinguishable.
Jiang Wang was even more shocked: "Isn't a demon a demon? Can the Shui tribe become a demon?"
"Where do you think the earliest demons came from..."
Jiang Yan said quietly: "Those who fail to practice demonic skills... become demons!"
Demons are people who fail to practice demonic skills!
Such secrets are unheard of.
In the ancient times, when the demon tide destroyed the world, was it just an internal struggle between human races?
Jiang Yan had no reason to fabricate such shocking news to deceive him, so Jiang Wang almost believed it 99% of the time.
However, this really subverted his understanding.
He had rarely heard of demons, but he had always known that demons were another racial group, evil and terrifying creatures. In ancient times, a wave of demons was set off to destroy the world, and was swept away by the human race. And since ancient times, there has never been any big waves.
In the present world, the two powerful nations of the human race have joined forces to block the borderlands, without making any progress.
But now, Jiang Yan actually said that demons are humans too!
They are people who have failed in practicing magic.
"This..." Jiang Wang was trapped in a shocked mood, and his thoughts expanded: "Song Hengjiang's sister became like this because she failed in practicing magic skills? Has the Qingjiang Shui Tribe been practicing magic skills?"
"I don't know about this." Jiang Yan said slowly: "But there is another saying about becoming a demon. Real demons believe that becoming a demon is the only way to truly cultivate demonic skills, and it is the correct way to practice demonic skills. They think , Demons are a further existence than humans, a nobler race. It was only because they were alone that they were defeated in ancient times."
"Wait a minute." Jiang Wang asked doubtfully, "What are the real demons? Don't those in the sarcophagus outside count?"
"Do you think that those mindless Yin demons can set off a wave of demons to destroy the world? Are you underestimating the strong men of the human race in ancient times?"
Jiang Yan said: "A real demon is a real demon. It is extremely rare. There are thousands of demon practitioners, but not one can be transformed into one. Every one of them... can be defeated by a real person!"
Jiang Wang was stunned for a moment, then looked at Song Wanxi in the glazed coffin: "Then, is she a real demon?"
"Of course not." Jiang Yan sighed: "In her current state, she can only be regarded as a general demon at best. She is one level higher than the Yin Demon. She only has simple spiritual intelligence and no complete wisdom. No matter how strong she is, she cannot be regarded as a true demon."
