Chapter 27: The Devil
Outside the gate of the ancient castle, Bai Xue and Mu Yan opened their eyes.
Bai Xue looked at the guqin in front of the stone platform and couldn't calm down for a long time.
She understands the whole story with the mood of everyone in the story, and also understands everyone's state of mind.
I can't help but feel a little sad.
This story is so meandering, sad and tactful.
Everyone can't ask for it, can't love it, but can't let it go.
Who said that the devil is ruthless?
She stood in the garden for a long time, then bowed deeply to the guqin on the stone platform.
At this time, the vague figure on the stone platform had long since disappeared, and only a guqin was left lying there alone, presumably after telling this story, his heart was also tired. After the vicissitudes of the world, read all the glitz and glamour of the world, the past is like a passing cloud, and life is like a dream of Nanke.
Maybe he's been here for 10,000 years just to be able to tell his story, that's all.
Without saying a word all the way, Bai Xue and Mu Yan crossed the garden and entered the castle hall.
Mu Yan has seen Bai Xue's appearance most of them are cold eyebrows or cold eyes, but now looking at her silently, he couldn't help but say: "Don't be too sad, since it has happened, it can't be changed, everyone's life has its own certainty." ”
Bai Xue shook her head: "I'm not sad, I'm just sighing, is the difference between immortals and demons really that important?"
Mu Yan was silent, but did not answer.
Perhaps for Bai Xue, a person who once lived in an open world, the concept of the distinction between immortals and demons is not strong, but for people like Mu Yan who were born here since childhood, the concept of immortals and demons not being incompatible since ancient times is deep-rooted.
Bai Xue didn't expect Mu Yan to answer her, she could understand the persistence of people in this world. Especially now is not the period when the ancient immortals and demons are relatively open.
Her question now seemed to be questioning the ideas that the monks of this world had always adhered to. But Bai Xue thinks that the last Buddha is right, not all demons in the world are evil, not all immortals in the world are good, all beings are equal, and the good and evil of an existence cannot be judged according to its roots, but according to their behavior.
Determining whether a monk is a demon or an immortal should not be judged by the faction or practice they cultivate, but by their mind and behavior.
The sea is inclusive of all rivers, there is tolerance is great, the avenue is three thousand, and the square is the real way.
After entering the castle hall, another breathtaking scene is presented.
The main hall of the castle is wide and magnificent, and when you look up, the walls of the castle seem to break through the sky. Above the main hall, a majestic seat sits in the center.
The most shocking thing is not the magnificence of this hall, but the dense number of people on the hall, no, it should be said that it is a corpse.
Bai Xue and Mu Yan cautiously passed over these people while observing carefully. It was found that their surfaces seemed to be sealed by a force, and each of them had a waxy film on their surface. Everyone remained on one knee and bowed to the throne above the main hall. Everyone's eyes are reverent and lifelike.
Bai Xue's heart was heavy, if he hadn't entered his world with the thoughts of the Heavenly Demon and knew what had happened, I am afraid that he would not know the identities of these people.
These people were all subordinates of the Heavenly Demon.
Bai Xue and Mu Yan crossed the many demons and came to the end of the main hall, that is, on the top of the treasure, and she looked down from above, this scene was even more disturbing.
Each demon is dressed in a uniform manner, kneeling in a uniform posture, and looking at the throne reverently.
And Mu Yan looked at this scene quietly, without saying a word, but his face was dark.
"Demon, also loyal. Really?" said to Bai Xue after looking at him for a moment, then turning her head to him.
He nodded, looking at the dense array of demons under the throne, not knowing what to think.
Bai Xue chuckled, maybe it was not easy to change his opinion, and she didn't plan to change a person's opinion of immortals and demons.
At this time, Bai Xue walked up to a demon, this demon was different from all the other demons, all of them knelt down on one knee and bowed, but he only bent his back slightly and bowed.
It was an old man, with a white beard, and his eyes were deep and wise when he looked at the throne. He was different from other demons, he didn't have a membrane on his body like everyone else, he didn't have anything on him, not even his clothes were corrupted, just like a normal person.
Bai Xue gently touched his skin, but found that his skin was as hard as iron, because she knew that these people were dead, so she was not afraid. And the red scales, who had been calling for no response since coming to this ancient castle, suddenly said in Bai Xue's mind: "This is a demon, and the corpse will not easily decay after ten thousand years." ”
Bai Xue was pleasantly surprised: "Aunt Hong, are you awake!?"
Redscale shook her head, but didn't answer, she was awake the whole time. It's just that the guqin outside weighed her breathlessly, so she didn't dare to speak. Thinking of the cultivation of the magic qin outside, she was frightened, because Bai Xue and Mu Yan didn't know his specific cultivation, so even though they knew that his cultivation far surpassed them, they didn't feel afraid. And Red Scale really knew that the cultivation of the magic qin was in the realm of the Demon Emperor.
The Demon Emperor is no longer a realm that Bai Xue can know, even if Bai Xue's master cultivates to Tongtian, in her heyday, it is just the cultivation of the Heavenly Demon. The Heavenly Demon is in the same realm as the master of this ancient castle. But it is still two great realms lower than the Demon Emperor, and the difference in combat power between these two great realms can already be said to be a world of difference. Because once the cultivation breaks through the Mahayana period and reaches the true immortal or earth demon, it will be extremely difficult to advance to every level.
I didn't expect that there was a demon emperor guarding the gate for him in this ancient castle of heavenly demons, if he didn't know the reason, it was horrific to say, I'm afraid no one would believe it. After all, the Heavenly Demon is not enough for the Demon Emperor.
Bai Xue asked again: "Aunt Hong, what are the demons you just said?"
Red Scale: "I didn't mean to tell you that it was too far away for you, but it doesn't hurt to tell you now. The cultivation level you know is just from the foundation building period to the Mahayana period, but in fact, these are just low-level cultivation levels for people in the big world, whether they are demons or demons or immortals, they are all according to this level, but once they break through the Mahayana period, the people who cultivate immortals are true immortals, Da Luo Jin Xian, heavenly immortals, Dao immortals, immortal monarchs, and immortal emperors, and after that, there are even more unattainable partial gods, main gods, small honors, great honors, and heavenly honors. ”
"And the demon cultivators are the Earth Demon, the Upper Demon, the Red Demon, the Heavenly Demon, the Demon Emperor, the Demon Emperor, and the later Demon Venerable, the Ancient Demon, the Main Demon, the Demon Immortal, and the Demon God. This demon cultivator in front of him is probably the realm of the upper demon. ”
Bai Xue was shocked, it was the first time she knew the realm after that, and she couldn't help asking, "Where is the master's realm?"
Red Scales groaned, "Heavenly Demon." "And her own cultivation at the peak of her own time was only in the Red Demon Realm.
Bai Xue nodded secretly, both shocked by the endless cultivation and excited that she was on this path.
The conversation may seem like a long time, but it's actually only a momentary thing. Mu Yan beside him saw that she didn't speak after touching the demon man, and asked, "What's wrong?"
Bai Xue came back to her senses from the conversation and shook her head.
Mu Yan furrowed his eyebrows and pursed his lips to look at the demon in front of him, and then looked at the book he was holding in his hand.
He gently removed the book from the demon's hand, it was tattered but not completely corrupted, and a few pieces of paper were still intact inside.
Bai Xue leaned over and said, "What is this?"
Mu Yan opened the book of unknown materials and found that the first page read:
In the year of Immortal Age, I believe that the master is the master.
In the third and fourth year of the Immortal Era, the master broke through the Mahayana and entered the true immortal, and I followed it into the ice and clear world.
The first page came to an abrupt end here, and Mu Yan turned the second page, the second page was incomplete, and there was only one sentence:
In the year of the Demon Chronicle 0017, the master fell from the immortal to the demon, and I followed.
Then continue to turn the third page, the paper is complete, but there is still only one sentence: In the third and fourth eight years of the Demon Age, the master's injuries were aggravated.
Mu Yan continued to flip through it, and when he saw this, he and Bai Xue both understood that this was probably the record book of this demon.
It's a pity that Mu Yan turned a few pages in a row and was incomplete, even if he had a complete handwriting, he couldn't see it clearly, after all, he had been dead for hundreds of thousands of years, and it was very rare that the paper of this book could not be corrupted, and I don't know what kind of material it was made of.
He continued to flip until he reached the last page, only to find that there were complete words in it: Demon Age 59, Master Pawn, We Seal Ourselves, Follow.
Bai Xue looked at this last line of words, and thought to herself, isn't the fifth or ninth year of the Demon Chronicle the year when a few Great Dao Immortals attacked the Demon Palace, and the Heavenly Demon self-detonated the Demon Core to protect the Bingqing Fairy? It seems that these people were not killed by the enemy, but the king who self-sealed and followed them.
Mu Yan closed the book, put it back in the demon's hand, looked at him seriously, and then bowed to him.
Bai Xue raised her eyebrows on the side, what's the matter? Isn't this guy an immortal, how can he bow to a demon?
Mu Yan saw her expression, as if he knew what she was thinking, his eyes looked beyond all the demons in the hall to the outside of the hall, and his eyes were far-reaching: "This senior used to be an immortal, but he became a demon to follow his master, no matter what, his loyalty is worthy of anyone's admiration." ”
Bai Xue nodded, yes, whether it is an immortal or a demon, he has always followed the side of the Heavenly Demon, regardless of his identity, and he will never abandon him.
"Let's go. Mu Yan said, and then took the lead and walked towards the only door in the hall.
Judging from the structure, it can be guessed that this is the main hall of the council, and I don't know where it will lead from behind.
Moreover, Bai Xue thought that the back was not so smooth, this demon palace was huge, it was the realm where the heavenly demons and tens of millions of demons lived, and its magnanimity was comparable to that of a continent and a world. The garden where the guqin is located and this hall are probably only the entrance to the Demon Palace, and they are only the tip of the iceberg.
According to Red Scale's information, reaching the realm of Heavenly Demon can already reach the point of one flower and one world. It was only at this time that Bai Xue had an intuitive impression of the strength of his master Qianhan. And when I picked her up at that time, I am afraid that she was already at the end of the strong bow, otherwise why would such a powerful person fall into the mountains and wilderness. One can imagine how much the master hates the enemy Nalan Shuirou.
And now that Red Scales' cultivation has only recovered to the Tribulation Period after so many years of recuperation, it is almost a mortal dust for her, so you can know how badly they were injured at the beginning.
