Chapter 22: The Untied Knot
Yan Che was trapped less than ten miles from the crater, almost close at hand. However, the demons led by Roshan have surrounded the mountain he is on, and they are approaching the top of the mountain. In the past, Yan Che could fly directly from one mountain to another. Today he can only look at the ocean and sigh.
In the face of Roshan and the demons, he has no chance of winning alone.
If he is a mortal, he is already praying for heaven to give him a miracle of survival. But how can a demon go to God, it is better to ask for others than to ask for himself. Although there is no other choice, at least there is a choice.
Yan Che is ready to rush down the mountain to fight Roshan. Just when the demons all gathered at the top of the mountain and saw Yan Che alone, every demon crowd had a triumphant expression. Later, Zhao Yige and Yan Xiaoxiao, who had been searching for Yan Che's traces, finally found Yan Che. The two appeared on the top of the mountain together, which immediately made Yan Che overjoyed. However, even if there are two more people, it is difficult to say in the face of the demons led by Roshan.
Yan Che told the two of them his idea of recovering his body, which surprised the two of them for a while. After all, Yan Xiaoxiao only knew that eating raw meat could restore her body, and she didn't know what the effect would be after jumping into the magma. The Yan Clan demons are not afraid of fire, so there will naturally be no problem entering the magma. However, if you really want to restore the broken meridians in your body, the magma temperature on the surface will definitely not be enough. The deepest part of the earth, which is the core. As long as he gets there, Yan Che can fully recover his body.
No matter how exaggerated Zhao Yige's idea is, he supports Yan Che. After getting Yan Xiaoxiao's approval, the two of them decided to drag the huge monster army and let Yan Che fly to the crater. Zhao Yige and Yan Xiaoxiao grabbed one of Yan Che's shoulders, instilled qi into his arm, and launched Yan Che in the direction of the volcano like a slingshot. Roshan saw Yan Che flying away, and immediately wanted to chase after him. However, he can't fly, so he lets the flying monster chase him. When the flying monsters flew up, I saw the first batch of monsters flying into the sky, and I saw a burst of sword shadows appearing, each of which was neatly cut into several pieces. Looking at Zhao Yige's side, I saw that he was holding the Changhong Sword in one hand, and he had just swung a move, "A Thousand Slashes in an Instant." "This trick is Yan Che's stunt to kill the evil god, and Zhao Yige didn't know when he learned it. At this time, Roshan didn't dare to underestimate this man, especially since there was a female devil beside him.
Like an arrow off the string, Yan Che flew straight towards the crater. This volcano is a dormant volcano, and the last time it emitted smoke was when Zhou Yunlong was thrown here from the sky. When he was about to land, Yan Che hugged his head tightly and crashed into the rock wall with a "boom", shattering the solidified volcanic lava. He hurriedly got up, didn't bother to clean the dust and stones on his body, and continued to run towards the crater. He saw that the bottom of the crater was pitch black, and it seemed that the magma on the surface had solidified. To enter the interior of the volcano, you have to break through this surface.
He took a deep breath, as if he was about to hold his breath for a long time, in preparation for diving to the bottom of the volcano. Then he jumped into the volcano, head down, and smashed his head into the magma rock. Yan Che's whole person had disappeared into the magma, and as he broke through the magma rock, the volcano that had been extinguished for decades erupted again. Billowing smoke appeared from the top of the mountain, and Zhao Yige and Yan Xiaoxiao, who were facing countless demons on another mountain peak, were extremely relieved when they saw it.
However, the time to swim from the crater to the core is not short, and I can only hope that when Yan Che returns to the core, reshapes his body, and returns from the core, those who are waiting for him have not yet had an accident.
Yan Zhan's side, he didn't know that Yan Che was ready to enter the earth's core to reshape his body, and he was still in Jiang Mengsheng's room, watching how Jiang Mengsheng persuaded himself.
Jiang Mengsheng and Yan Zhan have never known each other in their lives, but for some reason, they can see through the knot buried in the deepest part of Yan Zhan's heart just by a few faces. It probably also stems from the fact that Yan Tiege once mentioned to her the past of Yan Che and Yan Zhan.
Jiang Mengsheng said to Yan Zhan in the room: "You hate Yan Che because his mother didn't have to die when he was born, and he has enjoyed maternal love for a few years, and this kind of maternal love is something you can't experience." β
Yan Zhan pretended to smile calmly: "Love, are you not mistaken, how can we demons have this kind of thing, and how can we think of it?"
"You want to, but you don't dare to say it. Because once you say that you want to be loved, others will suspect you and think that you are a coward among the demons. This sentence penetrated Yan Zhan's defense line, and Yan Zhan's heart was greatly impacted. He didn't expect Jiang Mengsheng to see the deepest secret in his heart so clearly, in order not to expose this secret, he would pretend to be a demon king without humanity like now, hate his younger brother, and not have a heart-to-heart relationship with anyone.
Yan Zhan didn't want Jiang Mengsheng to continue, he was a little scared. It was he who underestimated Jiang Mengsheng, and he decided to kill Jiang Mengsheng, otherwise the majesty of his demon king would be completely lost. He made a move on Jiang Mengsheng, and the Nuwa spirit body in Jiang Mengsheng's body reappeared and protected Jiang Mengsheng. Yan Zhan's first palm hit Nuwa's spirit body, but it had no effect. After becoming angry, he concentrated all the qi in his body and gathered it in his palms. Then, both palms were pushed out together, and an incomparably powerful air wave erupted from the palm of his hand, drowning Jiang Mengsheng's whole person in the fiery red air wave.
This powerful air wave razed the room where Jiang Mengsheng and Yan Zhan were staying, and the demons guarding outside the room were all affected, and each of them was rushed far away by the air wave. When the guards heard the movement, they all prepared to come. However, after the air wave dissipated, seeing Jiang Mengsheng still standing intact on the ruins, the defense line in his heart was completely shaken this time. He sensed that the guards were approaching, and immediately told them not to approach. Because he was afraid that the scene would be seen again.
After the guards heard the heartfelt words, although they didn't know the specific situation, they had nothing to do to clear Yan Zhan, so they didn't continue to approach Yan Zhan. And after Yan Zhan stopped attacking, Jiang Mengsheng continued: "The more you are like this, the more you prove that what I said is not wrong. β
Yan Zhan smiled bitterly: "What if you're right, you can't change anything." You can't save the mortals of this world, and you can't eliminate the resentment of all demons against humans. You're just holding at me for a weakness, but that won't kill me. β
"We really can't change the past, but the future is in our own hands, and each of us has the right to choose how we can live in the future. β
"The right to choose? What right can I choose? If I can, I choose my mother not to die for me, so that my father may not snub me, and leave my past with nothing but loneliness. β
"If I'm not mistaken, Yan Che's mother should have wanted to accept you, but you didn't accept it, right?" Jiang Mengsheng's words surprised Yan Zhan very much. Because only he and the dead Zhao Lingniang knew about this matter, and Zhao Lingniang didn't even say anything about it, how did Jiang Mengsheng know? Jiang Mengsheng continued, "Although each of us Nuwa people is in various places, we have the same beliefs in our hearts, and our practices should be the same. Your mother must have been saddened by her death. She wants to give you love, raise you as her own child, and compensate you as much as possible for what your biological mother can't give you. β
Yan Zhan instantly recalled the picture of his childhood. That was one of the few pictures of his contact with Zhao Lingniang. He was only five years old at the time, only a few months before Yan Che. After his mother died, Zhao Lingniang was not allowed to raise him by his mother's family, so he grew up in another demon family. When he grew up, he was told that his own mother died when she gave birth to him, but Yan Che's mother could live well. This kind of resentment was forcibly instilled in him by other demons, and he didn't understand these yet, only knowing that all the demons of the family wanted Zhao Lingniang to die.
Then on that day, Yan Zhan met Zhao Lingniang. He wanted to be like a bad boy, grabbed a handful of dirt on the ground and threw it on Zhao Lingniang's face, but to his surprise, Zhao Lingniang was not angry at all, regardless of the dirt on his face, he helped him wipe his hands clean first. Zhao Lingniang said that she was very sorry, if she could, she could use her own life to die instead of her mother. It's a pity that she couldn't do this because she was pregnant with Yan Che at that time.
The naΓ―ve Yan Zhan just made a big joke, wanting to make this woman who always had a smile on her face suffer a little, so he said recklessly: "Then you can die for my mother now." If you are really dead, I will forgive you. β
This was originally a joke, but Yan Zhan never expected that when Zhao Lingniang heard this, she replied that she must keep her promise. Then the next day, there was news that Zhao Lingniang hanged herself.
The culprit who made Yan Che lose his mother turned out to be Yan Zhan.
Yan Zhan felt extremely guilty in his heart, but he couldn't show it. Although he hadn't seen what his biological mother was like, Zhao Lingniang's gentle care for him that day made him vaguely treat Zhao Lingniang as a mother. Yan Zhan resented Yan Che so much, perhaps because of an unintentional move by himself, allowing him to experience the taste of losing his mother twice.
This is the case with Yan Zhan's past mental journey. However, if you want to untie the knot in Yanzhan's heart, you must give him the motivation to look forward to the future.
Jiang Mengsheng said: "Actually, you don't want to marry Yan Xiaoxiao, right?"
"How is it?"
"You know that if you marry her, when she gets pregnant and gives birth to a child in the future, she will also die in childbirth. So you won't marry her. β
Yan Zhan was silent, but he didn't expect that Jiang Mengsheng would see through his matter. This young woman, although she did not look threatening, said words like a sword piercing his heart. He looks like an emotionless demon, and that's because he keeps all his feelings closed. Jiang Mengsheng is opening the door of his heart little by little.
"Didn't I say, can I help you?"
Yan Zhan looked at Jiang Mengsheng and said, "What should I do?"
"You know that the union of the Nuwa clan and the demon can make the mother and child safe, right? And I am the last Nuwa clan in the world. β
This sentence seemed ordinary, but Yan Zhan thought about it carefully, and suddenly understood something, his eyes widened, and his breathing was disordered.
"What do you mean by that?" Yan Zhan asked Jiang Mengsheng with some trepidation.
"As long as you are willing to give up on continuing to hurt humanity and treat humanity as kindly as Yan Che, I can be your wife and relieve the nightmare in your heart. β
This sentence, Zhao Lingniang and Yan Tiexin also said the same, I don't know if it's a coincidence, the words spoken by the two people are not bad at all.
Yan Zhan hesitated, his last line of defense was about to be penetrated. He didn't expect Jiang Mengsheng to be willing to be with a murderous demon king, and he was extremely sincere, and his appearance without regrets made him even more moved.
In fact, Yan Zhan is most worried about this part, no one can solve the problem of the male demon spouse dying in childbirth, only the Nuwa clan can do it. He thought he had no future, but at this time a goddess appeared. If this is really the case, if his future can be as good as Yan Che did when he was a child, he can indeed give up everything, including this ethereal demon king. Coming to the world was originally an absurd thing he did because he had been lonely for too long, just like the unintentional words he said to Zhao Lingniang back then.
The Nuwa spirit body on Jiang Mengsheng's body disappeared, and she stretched out her hands, signaling that Yan Zhan could touch her. Yan Zhan was both happy and frightened in his heart. There has never been a woman who has ever been willing to take the initiative to stretch out her hands to herself. When he was about to reach out and touch Jiang Mengsheng, suddenly a person ran towards them quickly.
Yan Zhan was puzzled, because the aura of the person who came here was not strong, just a mortal. But there are countless monsters guarding the palace, how did this person break in? Because of this matter, Yan Zhan didn't touch Jiang Mengsheng's hand, and Jiang Mengsheng felt a trace of loss. Yan Zhan watched the man gradually approach him, and finally after the man approached, Yan Zhan saw clearly who the person who came running with his magic eye that should be able to see everything clearly in the dark night.
I only heard this person stop not far from Yan Zhan and Jiang Mengsheng, and shouted at Jiang Mengsheng: "Princess, Li Jing has come to save you!" Jiang Mengsheng's heart was both happy and extremely worried.
Li Jing, it's really the right time for you to come, and it's really not the right time! Jiang Mengsheng thought so in his heart.
