Chapter 51: The Divergence of Fate, Where to Go
The ninth floor of the Nine Treasure Lotus Lamp
Ge Sheng looked at the words floating in front of him, and the last lantern was surprisingly large, and the dazzling red flame almost illuminated the entire square.
This is the last square, and the mural at the top of the square on the ninth floor is the Eternal Heaven.
Overhead, there is an endless magnificent temple, with thunder and lightning and snowflakes in the temple, which is a heavenly scene imagined by mortals, but when you look up and see the vast murals that stretch for hundreds of feet, there is also a heartfelt shock.
Ge Sheng eventually became the first person to set foot on the ninth floor, but he was overwhelmed by the topic in front of him more than the mural above his head.
It's not like a poem, it's more like a few lyrics.
"Where do we go from here?
Light as a suspended feather in the sky, heavy as the sky carried by a turtle.
Though he who loses it lives and dies, he who gains it lives and dies. ”
……
……
The sixth floor of the Nine Treasure Lotus Lamp.
Thorn Paper looked around, and sure enough, the huge square was already empty.
Because the time of a stick of incense has long passed, although there are still many people who have been here, but they are helpless against the last lantern, so the only end is to be forcibly teleported out by the Nine Treasure Lotus Lantern.
She didn't know much about this Nine Treasure Lotus Lantern, but she knew that it was an infinitely powerful spiritual artifact, and it had protected Lanyin City for a hundred years, and if nothing else, in a few years, this Lotus Lantern would reach her hands.
Thinking like this, the richly dressed girl did not stop, she picked out the sixth square from her pocket, pressed it gently into the last lotus lantern, and then took a step back and watched the last lantern turn into flames.
She still has two more in her pocket.
As she walked into the crimson flame, she saw her figure disappear in an instant, and at the moment of disappearance, countless white silk threads spread out from all directions like a white snake that had been dormant for a long time.
A certain girl's erosion of this lotus lantern is far faster than many people imagine.
Unaware of what had happened after she had left, Thorn Paper slowly opened her eyes to a familiar soft white light, and then heard a clear female voice.
"See you again, Your Highness the Princess."
Thorn Paper Yi was taken aback, she looked around, and was surprised to find that this seemed to be the eighth layer, that is, she seemed to have been directly transported from the sixth layer to the eighth layer, such a low-level mistake Nine Treasure Lotus Lantern should not have been made.
But at this moment, this low-level mistake is really being made.
But what she paid attention to was the two girls in front of her, who were very familiar, because they had just met during the day.
Ao Xuehua looked at the soft green hair of the thorn paper clothes that were coiled into an elegant bun, and smiled: "Does Her Royal Highness the princess plan to kneel this time?" ”
Thorn Paper Yi's face turned slightly pale, and then he bit his white lips: "Slut, you really think that you can still pretend to be a nobleman surnamed Lan." ”
Xiao Jiu looked at this proud and thin aristocratic girl, and actually vaguely saw her past shadow, and she couldn't help but wonder if the self who used to wear a small golden crown would look as unruly and disdainful as her.
"It seems to have been discovered." Ao Xuehua didn't have a panicked expression, it seemed that this was a trivial thing at all, she smiled, spread her hands and said: "Even if I am not surnamed Lan, but since I can get this badge, it is not something that ordinary people can do, I have a proposal, are you willing to listen?" ”
Although you are willing to listen, in fact, Ao Xuehua did not pause at all: "Regarding the previous incident, I apologize to you and am willing to make amends, and you don't expose this matter, is it okay?" ”
Ao Xuehua watched the other party say this, and then waited for an answer.
Thorn Paper Yi didn't expect the other party to say such a thing, she just wanted to veto, but then changed her mind and said condescendingly: "If you let you go, it's not impossible." ”
Xiao Jiu remained silent and couldn't speak on the one hand, and on the other hand, she wanted to know how Ao Xuehua would respond, and at this moment, the girl opposite gently said the cold and vicious conditions.
"Get down on your knees and lick the floor under my feet, then, everything is still negotiable."
"Idiot." Even Xiao Jiu couldn't help but say this sentence in his heart.
Ao Xuehua looked at her and shook her head and sighed: "Stupid." ”
Before the words fell, Xiao Jiu saw the white figure turn into a stack of ghosts.
She always knew that Ao Xuehua also cultivated a thousand eons, but she didn't know that she had such a high attainment.
Thorn Paper Coat didn't have anything, and she felt a cold, hard hand grasp her neck.
Ao Xuehua expressionlessly lifted the thorn paper clothes away from the ground with one hand in her throat, the tall female swordsman didn't seem to care at all that the girl in her hand was the future mistress of the city, and lifted it with one hand as if she were grabbing a delicate gothic doll.
Thorn Paper Yi just wanted to scold again, but saw the other party's pure black eyes as deep as the night, Ao Xuehua was touched inexplicably, and her voice was like the wind blowing thin ice: "What is the aristocratic dignity you are proud of and reserved in the face of death." ”
Thorn Paper was directly frozen in the insult to her mouth by this cold word, she bit her lip, and just wanted to argue again, the hand on her neck suddenly clenched.
"The so-called aristocracy is not something that exists by trampling on the weak and subordinating the strong." Ao Xuehua tightened her right hand little by little, watching the girl's face become whiter and paler, she is a warrior who cultivates a thousand eons, and her control of strength is unparalleled in the world: "Power and responsibility are always unified, and unrestrained power will only usher in destruction." ”
Thorn Paper Yi felt that it was becoming more and more difficult to breathe, and even her consciousness began to blur, her already helpless struggle was even more powerless at the moment, and at this moment she really understood that this female swordsman in front of her really dared to kill her here.
But even in this suffocating pain, every word Ao Xuehua said was still imprinted in her consciousness one by one, and it seemed that she didn't need to "listen" to hear these words.
"What is powerful? Relying on one or two badges, relying on a little blood, such an existence is nothing more than a castle built of pieces of paper in the face of absolute power. You can be proud, but pride is not something that exists by despising others. ”
Ao Xuehua's expression was indifferent and majestic, it seemed that she was the real her, Xiao Jiu looked at Ao Xuehua, thoughtful, but there were no words.
"I can take your life without much effort, and I can destroy all that you are proud of and reserved. Do you really want to grasp something, something that you still don't want to give up even if you say that you are treated like this by me? Don't dwell on your own illusions, until you're crushed by people like me. ”
"Think about it, there's so much more to learn in this world."
After saying the last sentence, Ao Xuehua put down the thorn paper clothes, she really strangled the other party almost with one hand, but when she put it down, there was still not much emotion: "You have a good father, otherwise I don't need to spend so much lip and tongue." ”
Thorn Paper fell to the ground coughing and wheezing desperately, the original delicate girl's makeup was in a mess at the moment, she didn't look up, she actually laughed faintly on the ground: "Thank you, although I don't know who you are, but my father is really right." My name is Thorn Paper, thank you for giving me this lesson that no one has ever given me. ”
Saying this, she sat on the ground and stretched out her hand to Ao Xuehua, and in her hand was a delicate red square: "The key to the eighth layer, I think you need it, I also thought about one thing clearly just now, so it doesn't matter if you don't go up,"
Ao Xuehua glanced up at the mural and smiled inexplicably: "I'm sorry, I underestimated you." ”
"Maybe there will be a good hostess in this city, and it is really a little unwilling to be destroyed like this."
Saying this, Ao Xuehua raised his hand and grabbed it at the back of his head, and suddenly his long black hair poured down like a waterfall in the night.
The purple ribbon hung down on her hand, and the white-clothed female swordsman smiled: "Then the equivalent exchange, I will protect this city for you." ”
