Eighteen: Grinding Demon Pagoda

Xue'er swam straight in the direction of the center of the lake, the further forward the water temperature became, fortunately, the body just felt hot, very hot, but not the kind that felt hot, the hot is painful, and this is very hot, very moist and hot, making people feel a special indescribable hot feeling.

Swimming further will really not be able to support it, such an extreme damp heat feeling is not painful, but it is also too torturous to the will, it turns out that it is not only pain that brings pain to people, but also such a damp heat feeling that people can't bear.

Xue'er's body really can't support such an extreme feeling of dampness and heat, and the cool air in her body is running wildly around her body, but it can't suppress such dampness and heat at all. Damp heat, dampness is water, and heat comes from fire, from sunlight, and this water and fire are mixed together in this way, and the physical torture is terrible.

Doesn't it mean that fire and water are incompatible?

When Cher was about to give up, a ziggur-shaped stone tower in the center of the lake clearly appeared in front of her, and the stone tower seemed to exude a cool air around her body in such hot water steaming, which made people feel that there was a cool mass at a glance.

When people lack something the most, they can't resist the temptation of something, Xue'er is really unbearable to be tortured by this kind of dampness and heat now, she vaguely feels that the stone tower is cool around, and she immediately swims to the stone tower without thinking about it.

I don't know if it's appropriate to use moths to fight the fire to describe Cher's current psychology, anyway, she just swam over with all her might without thinking about it.

As soon as I got close to the pyramid, the feeling of dampness and heat in the water disappeared all at once. The pyramid was taller than the one of the little dragon turtle, and it was carved with strange patterns that seemed to come out of it.

This stone tower also has a door, but this door is closed, and with a push of his hand, the door slowly opens with the flow of water, and Xue'er swims in with a stroke of both hands.

The space in the tower was much larger than that of the little dragon turtle, and in one corner of the tower were several thick iron chains, and on top of the chains were a humanoid monster, the monster was tall, and its hands and feet looked like the claws of a chicken, but they were much thicker than the claws of a chicken, and his hair was messy and long, and his head was hanging down. After Xue'er swam in, the monster suddenly raised its head, its face was hideous and terrifying, and its eyes were full of vicious light.

"It's been more than 10,000 years, and finally today, my demonic nature has long been worn out, and it's time to let me out!" the monster said as he stared at Cher.

Cher was startled, she didn't expect such a monster to be locked in the tower, she immediately asked carefully, "Who are you? How can you be locked here?"

The monster frowned, as if surprised, and asked in a deep voice, "You, why weren't you sent by the goddess?"

"Goddess?" Xue'er quickly shook her head and denied that this monster must have misunderstood.

The monster was stunned for a moment, then his face softened, and he said to Cher flatteringly, "Then can the little girl help me cut this chain and let me out?" he looked at Cher expectantly.

Cher wanted to help him, but his terrifying appearance scared Cher and she hesitated.

Seeing that Xue'er didn't agree, the monster hurriedly added: "As long as you help me out, I will definitely help you realize any wishes you have, no matter what kind of wishes I can help you fulfill." ”

"But, but ......"

Xue'er thought, such a thick chain, even if she had the heart to help him, but it was difficult to open, but she didn't think of any way to open the chain for a long time.

The monster thought that Xue'er was going to put forward some conditions, so he hurriedly said: "You can put forward any wish you have now, as long as I go out, I can help you realize them one by one." ”

He looked at Cher, waiting for her to make his wish.

What wishes does Cher have? She has no memory since she woke up in the Valley of the Night, she wants to know who she is, she wants to know what she has experienced before, but can this be considered a wish? And such a wish should also be found and fulfilled by herself, how can she expect this monster to help make it happen!

There is also a wish that can be counted, that is, to go to the big world to find the seven people who killed the mother, and find them to breathe a sigh for the dead mother, so that the mother can die with peace of mind. But this wish should also be realized by himself and Dong'er to help her mother, and it's not about this monster.

Seeing that Xue'er hadn't figured out what kind of wish to mention, the monster hurriedly continued to tempt: "As long as you let me go, I can help you get as much treasure in this world as you want, and I can make you the richest person in the world." ”

"I can also let you fulfill all your wishes, make all the people in this world look up to you, admire you, and make you the queen of this world, and then you will have whatever you want!"

The monster was confident that no one would resist such a temptation, and he looked at Cher hopefully, as if he had been released and regained his freedom.

Xue'er asked blankly, "How can you do what you said, is all that treasure yours?" She didn't have the desire to be an empress, and she never thought about how much treasure she had to have, but she really couldn't believe the promise she made to the monster.

Seeing that Xue'er didn't believe it, the monster couldn't help but laugh and said: "What is this, I am the dragon demon of one of the Nine Demon Kings of the Ancients, the treasures in this world are mine as long as I want, whoever dares not to give it to me will kill whom! I will make you the empress, you will be the empress, whoever dares to disobey me will kill whom, I promise to make everyone fear you, and no one will dare to resist!"

The monster's eyes were full of murderous intent, and Xue'er was shocked when she heard it, she originally wanted to help this monster get out of trouble, but seeing that this monster was so vicious and cruel, it was not a good kind, so she dispelled the idea of helping this monster.

Wouldn't it be a great mess for the world once such a monster was released? And it was difficult to ensure that he didn't keep his promise, and maybe he would harm himself in turn, so it would be better to let him be locked up here.

Cher turned and walked away, ignoring what the monster called her.

There is no more impeccable person in the world than a person who has no desires, and only without desires and desires can there be no loopholes and be invulnerable.

Then she found a hole in the other corner of the tower, a hole that led to the ground.

Xue'er swam over, and it turned out that there was another floor below the tower, because it was in this water, so there was no staircase, and she could swim directly from the cave to the next floor.

As soon as she swam in, she felt that the fire hidden in her body spread rapidly, and the raging fire burned violently in her body, burning her whole body in severe pain, as if this fire was about to refine itself.

This tower is larger than the one above, and there is a thicker chain in the tower that locks a woman, this woman is quite beautiful, she is silently watching Xue'er who is twisted and tumbling by the fire in her body.

"You're not from the fairy world. She stared silently for a long time before she spoke quietly: "How did you get to this tower?" Looking at Xue'er's appearance, she didn't look like a demon, but looking at her so painful, it didn't look like a person next to the goddess, Xue'er couldn't feel any fairy power on her body, and she concluded that Xue'er must not be from the fairy world.

Xue'er was spasmed with pain, her hands and feet twitched, and she couldn't live in pain.

"You look me in the eye. The woman spoke again, a half-commanding tone that induced Cher.

Xue'er subconsciously looked at this woman's eyes, looking at each other, two ghostly lights burst out from the woman's eyes, and the light seemed to quickly pour into Xue'er's body along Xue'er's eyes, making Xue'er shake, and then the fire in her body quickly faded to her lower abdomen, and the burning pain gradually disappeared.

"How can there be fire spirits and ice spirits in your body, who are you?" the woman asked sharply.

"I, I'm ......" Xue'er couldn't stand the woman's gaze, and quickly removed her eyes, as soon as she removed her eyes, the fire that had disappeared in her lower abdomen suddenly rushed up again, she quickly moved her gaze back and stared at this woman's eyes, the fire that had just risen in her abdomen quickly disappeared, and the ghostly light in the woman's eyes could suppress the fire in Xue'er's body!

"Answer me, who are you, and how did you get here?" the woman urged.

"My name is Cher, and I came to bathe in this lake, and I swam here after washing. Cher replied timidly, she couldn't figure out what the woman's intentions were.

"Hmph, are you so easy to deceive me? How can you swim in this tower so easily?" she disdained Xue'er's panic, and then said: "Okay, forgive me for not having much ability as a little girl, you kneel down and kowtow to me three times, worship me as a teacher, and I will teach you how to regulate the ice spirit and fire spirit in your body, and you will never suffer from the burning of this fire spirit in the future!"

It turns out that the ice and fire in Xue'er's body have names, the ice is called Bingluo, and the fire is called Fire Spirit, but I don't know what the origin of these two things is and what they are used for.

"Kowtow to the master, doesn't that mean that I will become your disciple, and I will listen to you and do things for you in the future?" asked Xue'er, as if she was muttering to herself.

"Hmph!" the woman snorted coldly, "Isn't this good? How many people want to worship me as a teacher, I won't accept it, I just want you to learn a little bit of my skills, and then you can come back and save me out, and when I go out, you can do it or not, it's up to you whether you want to be my disciple or not." ”

It turned out that her intention was to ask Xue'er to save her out, but the people locked in this tower should not be good, thinking of this Xue'er and said: "My body is the body of Taiyin, not suitable for cultivation, and I can't become your disciple, and this tower is full of monsters locked by the goddess, wouldn't it be a disaster to the world if you release it?"

"Phew!" The witch took a sip and said angrily: "The goddess has locked us here for more than 10,000 years, and this demon tower has already worn out our demonic nature, and the goddess promised to let us out as long as our demonic nature is worn out, but more than 10,000 years have passed, and she has forgotten about us and let you let me go, are you still not helping the goddess?"

Seeing that Xue'er couldn't make up her mind, the witch said again: "Who told you that your body is a Taiyin body, you just have fire spirits and ice spirits in your dantian, which is more conducive to your cultivation, as long as you worship me as a teacher, I will definitely let you dominate the world!"
