A beam of faint light slanted into the room through the dusty windowpane, barely bringing some light to the originally dark and silent room.
The blue eyes opened slightly, still only the solitary shadow kept company.
I leaned against the wall and sighed, counting the rivers in detail. It has been half a month since the battle with the so-called evildoer in the early morning of that day, when Chixiao Qingfeng's swords were confiscated after returning home, and he was punished to face the wall and reflect on his past.
When did it start... The desire to slay demons and protect the Tao was blinded by the obsession with revenge, and transformed into killing without distinction between good and evil.
Blow out the fire stick and light the wax torch placed on the dressing table. The fire light rises and dispels some of the darkness.
Brushing away the thick dust that had covered the mirror for many years, I saw the reverse pentagram reflected in my eyes.
Although Yin Tianqi himself does not advocate Christianity, he has never completely denied it. For example, the inverted five-pointed ray symbolizes negativity and evil, and he firmly believes in this.
In the past, Wu Haoyuan also mentioned that improper use of Qinglin Pupils may cause backlash, but he is confident that everything is under his control. As everyone knows, during the repeated killings, the influence on his will is gradually deepening.
He suddenly felt a deep chill. It turns out that the one who recklessly destroys the hopes of others time and time again, and still calls this behavior "the right path"... is himself from the beginning to the end.
…
One night more than three months ago, Chongyi's soul disappeared into thin air. At that time, Yin Tianqi was already shaken in his heart and should have given up.
However, a man codenamed "Split Shadow" approached him.
"Brother Yin, after five years of separation, do you still have an impression of me?"
Yin Tianqi heard the wind and quickly drew his sword to hold the Demon Soul Sword that was stabbing him. "Young man, you don't know the heights of the world, but this is how you behave when you ask for something?"
"Hey, it's not that I want to ask for help, it's completely forced. Sister Man, ever since I heard about that tomb robbing experience, I have been thinking about you, Master."
"I understand that you take both black and white, but no matter how you look at it, it looks more like a licking dog of the evil forces... It's too ugly to look at it."
"You don't have to worry about which side I lean towards." Split Shadow put away his knife and changed his playful smile, "I'm coming to you this time. If you refuse, it's okay; then next time Liao Mansha comes to the door in person, you How to deal with it? Friendly reminder, she is famous for being unscrupulous in order to achieve her goals, and there are endless underhanded tricks, which may be detrimental to the people around you. Besides, you really can let go of your obsession for many years. ?”
Hearing this, Yin Tianqi felt his eyes burning with pain, and then his whole body became confused. He didn't want to admit that he was wrong, and he didn't ask for forgiveness from others. He just needed... to let the guilt go away.
Suddenly, a few days passed, and he unexpectedly met a visitor from another world called Emperor Tianqi.
"Human, are you the counterpart of this emperor? I tell you very seriously, I don't like this way of greeting." On this face that is highly similar to Yin Tianqi, there is a winning smile. With a few movements of his hand, he instantly defused the opponent's hostile attack.
"...A demon is a demon, I don't care what you think."
"Why, in your opinion, all existences outside the definition of human society are worthy of being classified as monsters?"
"If you and that little bird are of the same kind, I think there is no need to say anything." With his swords back in their sheaths, Yin Tianqi bypassed Emperor Tianqi without any hesitation. A few days ago, when I used my soul to force my way into the spiritual space of Vers, I didn't expect that I would be traumatized and return, and I still haven't fully recovered to this day.
"You keep saying that you want to subjugate demons, but why don't you treat everyone equally? Instead, you are particularly interested in that kid."
"What qualifications do you have to ask? We are not familiar with each other." Yin Tianqi's hand on the hilt of the sword changed to a holding position, his eyes were deep, "Just because I didn't chop a few more times doesn't mean that I have accepted it. I don't mind if you continue to push the envelope." Stay with me until the end."
"What a coincidence, you and I are exactly the opposite. Apart from that white hair, there is no one I want to kill each other with." Seeing that the other party was about to leave, Emperor Apocalypse immediately returned to the topic, "Why do you insist on killing him? Why can't you just wait a little longer? . Whenever he returns to his hometown, the other elves scattered around will also leave together, so why do you need to ask for trouble?"
"Wait? In the past five years... no, fifteen years to be precise, why has he stayed in this world until now? What is he brewing?"
"It's a long story. In short, you are restricted by many aspects and can't escape temporarily. It's not what you think." After that, he drifted away, "Do you mind if I take this with you?"
Even though the distance was getting farther and farther, Yin Tianqi could still see clearly the small medicine bottle shaking in the other person's hand. "when……"
"No excuses, I know it has something to do with that poison."
"...Huh, are you so sure it doesn't have any side effects?"
"Dragon slayers and evil dragons are essentially reincarnation." Emperor Apocalypse stopped and suddenly looked back, his pupils and the thousands of stars were shining brightly in this moonlit night, "I look forward to the day when the dragon slayer will finally break the curse. , ending the endless reincarnation.”
…
His hand unconsciously touched the golden hairpin on the countertop.
Maybe only by destroying the Qinglin Eyes can the resentment attached to it dissipate... With this thought in mind, he grabbed the golden hairpin and stabbed it directly into his eyes.
"Qi'er." The ethereal voice echoed, and the golden hairpin was released in an instant. "Why do you push yourself to the end of the world?"
"Master..." Looking back, her skirts were flying and butterflies were dancing. Her beauty has not changed, and she is no longer like a guest in the world. He was trying his best to suppress it, but his voice still trembled slightly, "I'm no longer young, so it's inappropriate to call me that..."
"It doesn't matter. You and Xuan'er will always be children in my eyes." Zhongli Xinqing looked up and gently touched Yin Tianqi's cheek with her delicate hands, "Twenty and one years later, you still can't get out of that place. forest?"
"Probably...but I think we should find a way out this time."
"I'm very pleased. Fortunately, you calmed down your anger, and this ray of my thoughts was able to come out to meet you." She smiled sweetly, and her figure gradually disappeared. At the end, it turned into starlight and scattered into the wind, "I have never left, I am always on the other side... watching over you."
"I wonder if you remember...the promise I made in the past. If I get Chixiao Qingfeng's approval in the future, one of my wishes will be fulfilled. Now I hope that you can trust me with your trust in Ah Xuan."
"I never objected. Follow your heart and go ahead."
"The time has come, the confinement is lifted, and you can come out." After the words fell, the locked door suddenly opened, and the light flooded everything. "In addition, Xuan and the others are on their way back."
