"Do you know how those who are reduced to bones die? As you can see, it tore off the flesh bit by bit, and ate it bite by bite!"

Holding Zhao Yi's head with his bone-like hands, Huo Lao said coldly: "Have you ever felt the fear they faced before they died? Have you ever experienced the experience of being torn off from the human body piece by piece? Do you know what this little girl was thinking when she watched her relatives being devoured by monsters one after another?"

When she was so frightened that she stopped struggling, and didn't even react at all, she lost hope of survival and faced death with peace of mind. Then the monster chewed slowly from head to toe, from the outside in, like a delicacy. ”

Zhao Yi unconsciously imagined those pictures, his eyes trembled, and he shouted, "Don't say it again!"

"Why didn't you let me say it?"

Huo Lao smiled strangely in the form of a skull, and his jawbone continued to swing, "It eats one person a day, three hundred and sixty-five people a year, ten years? What about a hundred years? What about a thousand years? Have you counted? These white bones are piled up day after day, year after year, and become the sea of bones in front of you!"

"And you~ as a military general, for your own country to fight and kill the enemy, this is understandable! But the enemy is also a living life, they are just different positions! That's why you will help some people, save some people, and atone for your own actions!"

"If you kill people and save some people at the same time, can your heart really be redeemed?

"But, as long as you kill it, you will save tens of thousands of lives, and then you will truly be redeemed. ”

"This is what you should do, because you are the kind of person in the mouth of the Emperor, and the mark on your head will always mark your identity!"

Huo Lao's somewhat demagogic voice sounded in his ears, "Don't you really want to kill it? not for the dead person, not for the girl, just for a trace of justice in your heart!"

"But I don't have that kind of power!"

"You don't, but I do!

Huo Lao waved his robe, and the sword box that he had placed on the ground flew over, and the lid of the box was slowly opened, revealing a sharp sword, and the white sword body revealed a trace of coldness.

Flying out of the sword box one after another, the sword body vibrated and made a crisp sword sound in the air, stopping at Zhao Yi's side, suspended in the void.

"Junior, listen up. The old man gives you two choices. First, pick up this fire cloud sword and penetrate the morality of your heart thoroughly. Bring the first rays to this world and sweep away all the shadows in the world. Second, walk into this ancient mirror with your false righteousness, and at the same time you will forget everything that happened in this golden temple. Go ahead and redeem your heart for your ridiculous excuses. ”

As he spoke, the sea of bones, the hideous black beast and all other objects in the ancient mirror began to blur, and then dissipated, forming a chaotic vortex, slowly spinning.

"Remember, this is a choice that will directly change your fate! The old man respects your choice, but please also consider it carefully!"

Zhao Yi's heart was struggling, if he chose this sword, there was no doubt that he would step into the path of Shura and walk alone in the dark. But how did he keep his original intention from being swallowed up by darkness and becoming a killing machine?

If he chooses the ancient mirror, he will forget all the memories here, return to Zhao Kingdom, and continue to fight for his dreams.

"The sword on the left can take me to a whole new world, and I can use it to save more people, and turn my ridiculous excuses into justice. ”

"The ancient mirror on the right allows me to return to the original trajectory of my life, and to intrigue with those people for the sake of false justice. Even if I finish it and everything is settled, when I want to step into the 'path of cultivation' again, it will be very difficult. Maybe he died in the blood of the beast. How do I choose?"

Huo Lao stepped back and stood quietly behind, waiting for Zhao Yi's choice.

After a long time, he took a step and finally walked towards the ancient mirror.

The tide in his heart was churning, "I just want to calm the war around me, I just want to see that the people around me are no longer suffering from wind and frost, those great righteousness are too far away from me! If the path of cultivation is like this, after I go out, I will stay in the land of Zhao Country forever, and I will not follow Brother Zhao Qian out of this western land!"

When he came to the front of the ancient mirror, when he was about to step in, Zhao Yi's heart appeared with his own scolding, "Are you afraid? Or are you running away? If that black beast rushes out of the Yin Wind Valley and breaks into the Terran City, and Brother Zhao Qian is far away from you, who can resist?"

"Do you really want to be like that little girl, watching it devour everyone you know? When you remember everything when you are on the verge of death, and know that you had the opportunity to kill it and save the lives of thousands of people, will you regret it?"

He thought for a long time, and finally retracted the volley's kick, turned around, and said lightly: "I want to know, what's behind this mirror?", obviously he chose the path of Shura.

Hearing this, Huo Lao stretched out his hand and pointed out, and the chaotic aura in the ancient mirror faded, revealing the scenery behind him.

A patch of crimson molten slurry flowed in the ancient mirror.

"If I had chosen the Ancient Mirror in the first place and walked in, would I have really died?"

Huo Lao didn't answer him directly to this question, but said, "I don't have the slightest doubt that you choose this sword, because some things are inherently predestined. You can't avoid it!"

Zhao Yi couldn't help asking, "Who are you!"

"Guide!"

He was not satisfied with this answer, and his mind was full of doubts, but he knew that the other party would not tell him what he wanted to know, so he asked, "Tell me what I have to do to kill the man-eating beast!"

"You pick it up, and you'll know everything!", Huo Lao pointed to the Fire Cloud Sword beside him.

Zhao Yi approached the sword, took a deep breath, reached out and held the dark red hilt, the sword sound suddenly became loud, the sword qi was agitated, and a gust of wind suddenly blew in the golden hall.

At the same time, a lot of information flowed into his mind along with the Fire Cloud Sword in his hand.

The Fire Cloud Sword turned into a rainbow light and flew into the space of his left pupil.

When he turned around, the ancient mirror was no longer a piece of magma, but a huge iron chain that he was familiar with.

Huo Lao said again: "Go, I know your intention to come here, pick up the green lantern fire, and you can help the person you are looking for." ”

Zhao Yi nodded, jumped into the ancient mirror, and when his body passed through the mirror, Huo Lao's voice came from behind, "When you no longer have doubts in your heart, understand the meaning of holding the sword, and truly know what the first light is, please return to the starting point of all this." ”

His body completely passed through the mirror, came outside, hugged the iron chain in front of him, and when he turned back again, the mirror gradually shrank, and he said hurriedly: "Why?"

As soon as the words fell, the skeleton figure standing quietly in front of the chair disappeared into the void with the shrinking of the mirror.

But his last voice came from the place where he disappeared, "Because here, there is the last thing you need!"

The fire elder in the golden hall dispersed the ancient mirror in front of him, and said lightly: "In the past, you only lived on the edge of this world, but from this moment on, you have been reborn. You have truly entered this big world and become a flesh-and-blood person in this world!"

"Although there were many difficulties, misunderstandings, and loneliness in the process, I believe that you will definitely bring your companions, comrades-in-arms, and the love of your heart to stand at the top of this great world and face this final catastrophe!" (Writer's words: You can imagine the cover of my work in this scene, and there is an external story here, which will be sent separately in the future, about 50,000 words.) It can let you know the poignant stories that happened in this giant city. ）

Huo Lao stretched out his bony hand and stroked his once long white beard, only a white bone remained, stiffened again, and muttered: "It seems that the old man can't change this habit, shouldn't he connect a pair of white whiskers?"

A skeleton with a long beard, no matter how you look at it, is very unusual.

He smiled like a skeleton, shook his head, and knelt down again to the chair on the steps, the dark red flames in his eyes gradually extinguished, and then his entire skeleton never moved again, as if it were a dead thing.

Zhao Yi, who jumped out of the ancient mirror, struggled to climb on the iron chain as thick as the three of them hugging, and the edge of the floating platform was above his head. In the end, I used my hands and feet together, and quickly climbed up.

The floating platform he saw on the ruins was as small as a dot, and he stood on this roulette disk-shaped floating platform, and he could not see the edge at a glance, but it was really vast.

"Hmm? There's movement up ahead. ”

Zhao Yi ran forward, climbed a high platform again, and set his eyes on the big golden platform in front of him.

"It's Brother Zhao Qian!"

In his field of vision, Zhao Qian at this time was unclothed, with burn marks everywhere on his body, and his hair was scattered and draped.

He was sitting on the ground, shrouded in the phantom of a huge furnace, and several sword qi around him were constantly flying around him, resisting the raging fire and some fire path supernatural powers around him.

Wow~

The fire in the furnace turned into firebirds, roaring and rushing towards him.

Bang bang bang~

Sparks flew everywhere, and a curtain of fire appeared, obscuring Zhao Qian's figure.

Zhao Yi couldn't help but be moved, deeply worried about the other party, and said secretly: "Brother Zhao Qian, you must not have an accident!"

He stared at the fire curtain deadly, but in a moment, the fire curtain was shattered and destroyed by several sword qi, revealing Zhao Qian's figure one after another, but his face was even paler.

"It's okay, but the danger is still there, and I don't know how many times he can withstand such an attack. ”

Zhao Yi hid in the dark and observed quietly, he knew that he couldn't help the other party at all now, and rushing out would only bury his life in vain, "Huh, what about the dumb servant, didn't he come up a long time ago?"

A fluctuation came, and he quickly looked at the source of the fluctuation, "It's the dumb father-in-law! He was entangled by the other two and couldn't get out! No wonder he couldn't help Brother Zhao Qian get out of trouble." ”

"Before, Huo Lao said that the fire of the green lantern can solve the dilemma, but where is the flame of the green lantern?"

He looked around, and finally fixed his eyes on the round platform in front of the only golden hall on this floating platform, a total of seven bronze ancient lamps were placed on the edge of the round platform in turn. Even after 10,000 years, the wick was still bubbling with a faint green flame, and Zhao Yi instantly sensed the problem!

"Looks like that's the green lantern fire!, wait... Why do I look so familiar with the Golden Palace behind here?"

After thinking for a while, he said in shock: "Isn't this where I was before, Huo Lao didn't let me walk out of the gate of the Golden Palace, but sent me to the edge of the floating platform. Looks like they don't want them to know I've been in, or if they mean something else!"
