(Hall of Eternal Life of the Earth Ghosts)
Looking at the simple and unbearable tents in the Hall of Eternal Life from a distance, it is like seeing the endless desert, the withered flowers that have long been squeezed out of the last drop of water by the flames.
Most of the creatures living in these tents were the lowest-ranking creatures in the Six Realms, such as plankton, winter insects, old people, and children who were powerless. Not only that, but Leaf Thorn also saw a woman with no hands, a charred moth, a bobcat with a broken tail, and a butterfly with broken wings......
Most of them were the same creatures who voluntarily donated soul stones to enter the Hall of Eternal Life before the implementation of the Huanglei New Deal, and they didn't want to lose their memories for one reason or another, and keeping this memory brought them was to survive in a world that was so oppressive that people had nowhere to breathe.
At this time, Nan Xian'er led the way in front, and the bloodstained rice soup shop cook on the lower half of her body followed closely. I saw her holding her chest, her hands crossed and hugging herself, seeing such an eternal life hall, seeing such a muddy world, the cook's mood fluctuated and panicked, so that she couldn't help but go to Nan Xian'er's side again.
Along the way, these death-filled ghosts and creatures with their eyebrows unfurled and dying, made her feel unprecedented fear, and completely subverted her original understanding of the meaning of "eternal life".
Ye Thorn and the others were still hidden, silently following them secretly.
To say that Nan Xian'er was defeated by Ye Thorn that night, she saw the memory of Sixi and heard Wei Xi allow herself to call him master, so she completely abandoned her previous suspicions for Ye Thorn.
Ye Thorn understood that it was precisely because of that "master" that the general of the sixth hall of the earth ghost in front of him became, in a sense, himself, Jing Wei and Xintong's fellow disciples. Before she left that day, she also took the initiative to inform Wei Yang of the conspiracy to make herself more careful, and after that, she kept her mouth shut, and did not reveal her identity and purpose to Demon Ziyan.
So this time, if she saw her fellow door appear in front of her, would she help?
Ye Thorn thought so, and before he knew it, they had already walked for half a pillar of incense.
To Leafthorn's surprise, she didn't see any young men. Is there no man of sound physique in this temple of eternal life? Then Mo Ziyan is not in this first temple? But if he has come here these two days, where will he be if he is not in this first hall?
Nan Xian'er didn't speak all the way, and the cook saw that the atmosphere was a little awkward, so she wanted to say something to break the silence.
Although the snake spirit face of the general in front of him is very demonic and looks a little gloomy, but his heart must not be bad, otherwise he would not have violated the rules of the earth ghost in order to help himself......
Thinking of this, the cook took a deep breath, stepped forward and said, "Thank you so much, General." ”
When Nan Xian'er heard the word "thank you", her body was slightly stunned, and then she tried her best to calm her tone and said, "Don't thank me, you only have one day to find it." ”
The cook was taken aback, she didn't understand what Nan Xian'er meant, what does it mean that there is only one day? So she couldn't help but stop and was stunned in place.
Seeing this, Nan Xian'er also stopped, turned around, and said unhurriedly: "I will take you to find it today, whether you find it or not, I will personally send you to Nai He Bridge tomorrow." ”
"......" The cook looked at Nan Xian'er in a daze, and didn't know how to answer.
Nan Xian'er seemed to know what she was thinking, and continued calmly: "You are a mortal, it takes nearly a hundred years for mortals to cultivate the Earth Ghost Illusion Technique, and during this period, you can only live in such a hellish world, even so, are you still willing to sacrifice the Soul Stone?"
"But......," the cook stopped.
She clearly knew that the general in front of her, although he used a question, this was not the right to choose, what should she do now, if she couldn't find it?
Thinking of this, she began to hate herself for only boiling some rice soup and cooking some side dishes all her life, and when the small shop in the market was prosperous in her life, she still felt that she was a talent;
The cook lady looked at the endless desert in front of her, these thousands of tents, a little desperate, this eternal palace is so big, as if it is as big as the whole Chang'an, in one day, looking for three people, isn't it looking for a needle in a haystack?
Maybe it was at this time that she knew that when she stepped out of her own world, she might become useless like she is now. Capable people in some fields, in the other world, are just wasted people.
In fact, the cook is not afraid of crossing the Nai He Bridge, she is only afraid that she will not be able to see her husband and son for the last time until she really dies, and of course, her newborn daughter......
Seeing that the cook was speechless, Nan Xian'er said: "If you don't pass the assessment, it is impossible for you to stay." ”
The cook lowered her head and pondered for a while, then asked, "I have never known the general, why did the general kill the soldier guarding the door because he helped me buy time for this day?"
Nan Xian'er looked at her fixedly and did not answer immediately.
Of course, she would not tell the truth to the mortal in front of her, and of course she would not tell her that the death of her husband, the death of her son, and the death of her daughter were all related to herself.
Nan Xian'er recalled that one day a month ago, Queen Wei Yang suddenly summoned herself to the underworld and took out a gray-black slender vase, which contained the water of the terrifying pond that collected all the world's strange poisons.
Wei Yang told her that the location: Jiuxiang Rice Soup on the outskirts of Chang'an, and the target: Demon Ziyan.
Nan Xian'er couldn't guess why Wei Yang had lived in the underworld for thousands of years, but she knew so much about these details, and she even knew what the store was on the outskirts of Chang'an and what the name of the store was. It wasn't until she left the underworld that the moment she turned around, she inadvertently caught a glimpse of the purple hair behind the throne.
Nan Xian'er was stunned, that color is very familiar, it is Mo Yan......
Everything suddenly opened up in her heart.
During the time when she was ambushed in the rice soup hall, she was hungry because she left the Lechuan River. Although the precepts of the earth ghosts stipulate that they cannot suck the living beings of Chang'an, but the yang energy in this mortal world is too tempting, for Nan Xian'er, it is like the aroma of a fat and tender duck roasted;
So Nan Xian'er still didn't hold back after all, and secretly inhaled some of the yang energy of the cook's husband.
At first, she told herself that it would be good to suck a little bit to satisfy her hunger, but she didn't expect that she couldn't stop sucking, so she wanted to suck every day until she finally ran out of energy.
And the terrifying pond water was originally only aimed at Mo Ziyan, but that day Nan Xian'er saw at a glance the leaf thorn that stepped into the store with Mo Ziyan, how could this person who had shattered all his dreams easily let go. So at that time, she had already possessed the cook, and poisoned all the rice soup that her son served.
Originally, Nan Xian'er was not sure if this person who looked exactly like the leaf thorn would be the twin sister of the leaf thorn that everyone said, Ye Kite, the Xuanyuan military teacher. But Nan Xian'er has been alive in the Tianshan Mountains for more than a thousand years, but she has never heard of Ye Thorn having any twin sisters, and when she saw Ye Thorn falling, she suddenly appeared and rushed to save Ye Beixin, she knew that this person must be Ye Thorn.
Nan Xian'er's intuition told her that Ye Thorn used Ye Yuan's identity to lurk beside Mo Ziyan, there must be some conspiracy, and the guardian gods were actually dispatched, it must not be a small conspiracy, so even if Nan Xian'er didn't know Ye Thorn's true purpose, when she attached to Ru Jia to fight against Ye Thorn, she naturally used this bargaining chip to threaten her.
Originally, after the leaf thorn fell that evening, it was impossible for Nan Xian'er to stand by and let Mo Ziyan save the leaf thorn anyway.
But she saw the battle between Ye Beixin and Demon Ziyan, this highly poisonous Prince Xuanyuan could still resist the Nine Heavenly Rings of the Heavenly Mountain's holy altar, so Nan Xian'er knew that even if she made a move, it would be in vain;
"General?" The cook's words pulled Nan Xian'er's thoughts back, and she said expressionlessly: "Their lives, it's not a pity to die, I'll let Xue Yi change it." ”
Xue Yi in Nan Xian'er's mouth was the general of the first hall of the earth ghost, and at that time, in the underground palace of Chang'an, he was the first person to stand up and compete with Ye Thorn.
Ye Thorn remembered that his whole body was blue, he remembered his double swords, and he also remembered that Xiao Lie finally killed him and Tie Jian, the general of the Tenth Palace, in front of Mo Ziyan and himself.
Obviously, he was not dead, but more precisely, reborn.
"Will the general, my husband and sons, really be here?" asked the cook, her tone cautious.
"They are all mortals, and they have just died, if they sacrifice the Soul Stone, they will naturally only be in this Hall of Eternal Life. Nan Xian'er said.
"Then ......" The cook was about to say something, Nan Xian'er pointed to a depression not far away, and said, "This is the entrance to the Ghost Pavilion, and the living beings of the Hall of Eternal Life will go there to practice the Ghost Illusion Technique, because that is the only way to enter the next hall." ”
The cook's eyes widened, "Aren't those we just passed by alive?" asked the cook.
Nan Xian'er sneered: "Hehe, those creatures who gave up on themselves are still alive?"
When Ye Thorn heard Nan Xian'er's words, his heart trembled......
Are those who have given up their lives still alive?
Oh, yes......
Ye Thorn originally thought that as long as ** and the soul did not die, it was alive;Later, after experiencing the things of Sixi, she thought that as long as she kept her memory, she was alive;Until now, she understood,Even if **、Soul、Memory are there,But if you lose the motivation to make yourself better,Lose your ideals and beliefs,Lose the meaning of survival,So is it still alive?
