Jiugu is such a good person, no matter who deceives her and uses her, it is unbearable for me!

I stared at the cloaked man, waiting for his answer, thinking in my heart that if I couldn't enter the underworld, then I would go to Jiugu and let her get out of this person as soon as possible.

The man in the cloak seemed to think seriously about my question, and then said: "Xiao Jiu will come back sooner or later, whether it is you or not, I will help her do all this, you ...... Just an accident. ”

I carefully pondered the meaning of his words, although he did not answer my question in detail, but his words did not completely deny that he was using Jiugu.

I can't see through this person.

But he just pressed my heart, obviously testing the existence of the Seven Exquisite Hearts, and later did not deny his covetousness for the Seven Exquisite Hearts.

His ambition is very open-minded, does he want to put me under house arrest until the Seven Tricks of Exquisite Heart is fully formed, and then take it for himself?

Thinking of this, I took a look at my surroundings.

This room is quite large, but there are no windows, and the ticking sound I heard before came from the west corner, and this drop of water should belong to the existence of a kind of timer, and every drop of water is equivalent to a second has passed.

The furnishings in the room are dark, there are many hideous monster heads hanging on the wall, the door is tightly closed, and the outside must be guarded.

I retracted my gaze and boldly asked, "Are you going to keep me under house arrest like this forever?" ”

"Yes." The man in the cloak generously admitted, "You can't go anywhere for a while." ”

I was already annoyed, and I got up from the bed at once, and tried to rush out, but as soon as I got up, I felt dizzy, and my previously calm body, as if a wild beast was rampaging through it, I fell back into the bed at once.

Curled up on the bed, enduring the discomfort all over my body, it took a while to slowly calm down, and the whole person was exhausted.

The man in the cloak stood to the side with cold eyes, watching me being tortured, and only when I was completely quiet did he speak, "I said, you can't go anywhere." ”

"Your body is not made of iron, and at the same time carries the essence of a white dragon and a skeleton corpse, even if you have the cultivation skills of the fox clan's eight tails, it is impossible to withstand it, the reason why you are still alive is because there are seven exquisite hearts to help you suppress their impact."

"The formation of the Seven Exquisite Hearts requires a huge supply to maintain, and for hundreds of thousands of years, no one can withstand such a huge demand, and you, because of these coincidences, may be able to."

"So what's wrong with me now?" I understand what he said, but I can't accept that I'm under house arrest here, I'm worried about too many things, I can't do anything here, I'll be crazy.

"The Seven Tricks Exquisite Heart devours the essence of the two corpses, it also takes a process, and whether it can be completely devoured, no one can be completely sure, if it can really be swallowed all, your body will also bear a huge impact, it is very likely that at that time, the Seven Tricks Exquisite Heart will be fully formed, if it can't be swallowed," he paused and shook his head, "Then it will be another bamboo basket to draw water." ”

If I can't devour it, the Seven Exquisite Hearts can't be formed, and my life will follow, and everyone can figure out the consequences.

"You'll help me, won't you?" Although I asked him, my tone was firm.

For hundreds of thousands of years, the Seven Tricks of the Seven Exquisite Hearts have not really been formed, but as long as there is a chance to appear again, no one will give up easily.

The man in the cloak nodded: "Of course I will help you, otherwise, the first time Xiao Jiu came to beg me, I wouldn't have made a move." ”

I smiled bitterly: "But I can't give you the Seven Exquisite Hearts." ”

The man in the cloak looked at me fixedly, his eyes were very sharp, and if he said such things in front of him, he was simply looking for death.

But I'm not in the mood to beat around the bush, I don't feel like I want to cooperate with him, and after working hard to promote the Seven Tricks Exquisite Heart, I can immediately escape from his clutches and go to Mo Xianye.

And Mo Xian went to the underworld at night, and there was a lot of luck, and I really wanted to be by his side.

So if it is destined to end badly, I would rather not have a seven-trick exquisite heart from now on, and I will also go to Mo Xianye and accompany him.

The man in the cloak sneered, as if to laugh at my ignorance, and then he sighed: "Seven tricks and exquisite hearts, who doesn't want to really have it?" ”

He suddenly reached out and pinched my chin, and the cold air sprayed straight at me, and under the silver mask, those two cold eyes suddenly turned into beating flames, so frightened that I forgot to breathe.

"Bai Li, do you really understand what it means to have a Seven Exquisite Heart?"

"It means that you have to bear much more pressure than normal people, it means that the eyes of all the cultivators of the Three Realms and Six Realms are all focused on you, it means that you will become a delicacy snatched by all the masters, and in the end, even if you die, there will be no scum left."

"Do you think you can really send the Seven Exquisite Hearts to Mo Xianye's hands, so that he can escape the catastrophe and live in peace? Bai Li, you are so naïve to make me pitiful. ”

"Mo Xianye's current ability is not as good as you, you expect him to protect the Seven Exquisite Hearts, let me tell you, if you give him the Seven Exquisite Hearts, you are harming him!"

"Do you think those old guys in Heavenly Court are really desireless, noble and selfless? That's because among the Three Realms and Six Realms, there has not yet been a treasure that is really coveted for them, and once it appears, the battle will really kick off, a small eight-tailed fox, what is it? ”

The cloaked man's questioning, like an initiation, woke me up at once.

I have always known that my pattern is not big, and I desperately want to broaden my horizons, but, as Yunsheng said before, the world I can touch is too small, like a frog at the bottom of a well, and my pattern is inherently limited there.

Now the more I move forward, the more powerless I feel, because the circle is bigger, and there are more uncontrollable factors, which are not within the scope of what I can bear.

At that moment, I suddenly remembered that when I was in Jiangcheng, Mo Xianye always told me that he didn't want the Seven Tricks Exquisite Heart, and he didn't feel that he had to use the power of the Seven Tricks Exquisite Heart to survive.

At that time, when I heard these words, I only felt that he was kind, but now it seems that his vision is far wider than mine, and these truths that I don't understand have actually been coiled in his head for a long time.

He understood that the meaning of the Seven Exquisite Hearts was not to protect his life, so he didn't want to touch this taboo.

It's just that what he can figure out, others may not be able to figure it out, Grandpa Mo, Jiugu including me, when facing the matter of Mo Xianye, look at the problem more from the starting point of family affection and love, and we are subconsciously unwilling to think about the worst.

However, now that the man in the cloak has made everything clear, I am suddenly in a mess, and I don't know what to do.

It's like the belief you've been advocating all of a sudden collapse, and you can't find spiritual support anymore.

Life without a goal is probably like this.

I slumped down on the bed, the man in the cloak had already let go of me, and the room was completely silent, except for the sound of water dripping down unhurriedly.

I don't know how long it took, but I looked up at the cloaked man and asked him, "If I give you the Seven Tricks Exquisite Heart, can you guarantee the safety of my life and Mo Xianye's life and save the entire fox clan?" ”

I can't do it with Mo Xianye, it doesn't mean that everyone can't, the man in the cloak in front of me is definitely more capable than ours, and he may be my last struggle.

The man in the cloak burst out laughing, and I thought that the answer might be what he was expecting, and this kind of smile in the middle of the heart made me want to reach out and pull off his mask and tear his mouth apart.

But the next moment, he shook his head: "No, I don't want a seven-trick exquisite heart." ”

"Why?" I was stunned, "You're also afraid that the Seven Tricks of the Mind will bring disaster to you?" ”

"Disaster?" He sneered, "What kind of disaster have I not seen in millions of years? I've never been afraid of any disasters, I just think that the seven exquisite hearts are in the vast sea of people, so many powerful characters have not been chosen, but they follow you, which shows that you are the most suitable host for it, so why should I deprive it from your body alive? ”

I looked into his eyes, pondered the meaning of his words, and then asked, "You don't want the Seven Exquisite Hearts, what you want is to control me who has the Seven Exquisite Hearts, and let me work for you, right?" ”

"Control? I don't like to hear this word, I prefer to use the word cooperation. He said, "I need the power of the Seven Exquisite Heart to help me, and you also need this power to protect everything you want to protect, in the final analysis, the cooperation between the two of us is mutually beneficial and win-win, you are a smart person, you can make a point, I am willing to make friends with such people." ”

"What's more, you are the people Xiao Jiu wants to protect, for her sake, we should also share the same hatred Kai."

"Where are your ambitions?" I asked.

He knows the strategy of negotiation very well, and the last emotional card is also a reminder to me that the fate of Jiugu and even the entire fox clan is now in his hands, and it is both emotion and oppression.

I will eventually choose to cooperate with him, there is no doubt about it, as he said, we take what we need, but I also have the right to know what he wants to do with me, and I can't use it as a knife for nothing, and end up being a scapegoat.

Cooperation also has boundaries, and I will never do anything that hurts nature and reason and destroys human nature.

He may also think that I was too cautious, and waved his hand down: "You relax, don't be vigilant, if I am really a heinous person, Xiao Jiu will follow me once or twice from birth to death?" Besides, the existence of Xuanji Pavilion, do you think it is evil? ”

"The so-called good and evil are also relative, even if you are decent and have bad intentions, it is also a crooked way." I said stubbornly.

The man in the cloak laughed, he had laughed many times since I first saw him, but each time it made me feel that the smile was quenched and iced.

But this time, he was really laughing from the heart, and that kind of laughter seemed to have a sense of helplessness.

I don't understand where this feeling of helplessness comes from, am I being too stubborn, too aggressive?

But this is an existential matter, and I have to stick to my own position and principles.

He reached out and patted me on the shoulder, very hard, and said, "Keeping here with peace of mind, I can swear to God that one day in the future, you will be pleased with your decision today." ”

With that, he flashed and disappeared into the room.

I leaned against the head of the bed, knowing that I couldn't be free at the moment, and even if the man in the cloak didn't put me under house arrest, my physical condition wouldn't allow me to run around.

What I'm most worried about now is Mo Xianye, when he enters the ghost gate, what will happen next, my eyes are black, and I can't imagine it.

Although, this time he entered the ghost gate to save his mother, it was a deal with the demon, and he didn't need to enter the real underworld through the Nai He Bridge.

But rescuing the demon is itself against the underworld, and with his own strength, even with the dual efforts of the demon and his mother, the chances of successfully escaping are slim.

But now, I am not completely hopeless, the underworld is not an iron plate, the internal contradictions have already intensified, perhaps, in this crack, we can really find a chance to survive.

One more thing, the man in the cloak shouldn't be a watcher, after all, he knows that without Mo Xianye, with my paranoia, he won't cooperate with him at all, he needs Mo Xianye to live, so as to pinch me.

Therefore, the man in the cloak should be able to help Mo Xianye, at least for the time being, and he will not be in danger of his life, as for whether he will help the demon or not, whether he can rescue the holy woman, this is not within the scope of his concern.

What I'm thinking about now is not everything on the outside, but about what I'm going to do next.

I can't just stay under house arrest in such a safe place with the cloaked man, but I really can't think of any reason to convince him to let me move freely.

Unless......

Unless I can contact Jiugu and ask Jiugu to help me find a way, I think her words, the man in the cloak will listen.

But then I dispelled this idea again, one is that it is difficult for me to contact Jiugu now, and the other is that I subconsciously don't want Jiugu to beg the cloak man, if in the end the cloak man is really just using Jiugu, the more entanglements now, the more painful it will be to separate in the end.

Why can't I think of something good?

……

Maybe it's because the body was overdrawn too much before, and the whole person has become lazy, one moment he was sitting at the table thinking about things, and the next moment he could lie on the table and sleep without moving.

I used to be very diligent and alone, even if I stayed up late continuously, as long as I had that belief, I wouldn't really fall asleep, and my body was really not as good as before recently.

In this way, two days passed in a blur, and in these two days, except for the time that delivered me food, I could no longer contact anyone, not even the man in the cloak again.

As time went by, I began to become more and more agitated, and this kind of day that the days that should not be called the earth and the earth were unbearable.

But soon, I saw the man in the cloak again.

It was the evening of the next day, and I slept so dark that I couldn't wake up, so I came to bring me food, and stood by the bedside and called me, telling me to get up quickly, and eat dinner while it was hot.

I heard a voice calling me in a daze, opened my eyes suddenly, looked at the moment of the shadow, and swallowed my saliva unconsciously.

Yin Cha looked at me, and didn't know if my eyes were a little scary at the time, he took two steps back, and then stabilized his mind and said, "Eat while it's hot, I'll go out first." ”

After he finished speaking, he turned around and walked out, a little fast.

And I jumped up from the bed, and almost without touching the ground, I pounced on it, and grabbed the yin......

The yin was torn apart, and the ghost crystal fell out along with the essence element, and was grasped in my hand and stuffed into my mouth.

The whole process was unconscious, very fast, and everything was done in the blink of an eye.

It wasn't until the ghost crystal and the essence were swallowed into my abdomen, and a cold aura rushed between my chest, hitting my chest cavity and bringing a strong pain, that I suddenly came to my senses.

How did I end up like this?

It was clear that it wasn't my own brain that was controlling me, but that something in my body was giving me instructions.

At that time, I was a little unavoidable, but the discomfort in my chest, and the desire to learn more, prompted me to walk towards the door.

Stretched out his hand and slammed the door hard, and the guards outside asked loudly what was going on inside, after all, the yin cha who delivered the food just now hadn't gone out after coming in, and they were also more puzzled about who smashed the door and what they wanted to do by slamming the door.

I didn't answer, and after asking twice outside, I tentatively pushed the door open a crack, and my hand plunged through the gap, gritting my teeth and pulling the door inside.

The yin outside did not expect such a change, and vigilantly wanted to close the door and not let me out.

But I was very explosive at that time, and after a few clicks, I pulled the door badly, stretched out a hand, grabbed a yin at once, and dragged it in through the crack in the door, tore it apart, and devoured the ghost crystal essence.

Not enough, still not enough, there was a voice in my heart that seemed to be shouting, forcing me to continue out.

But I couldn't, and soon the cloaked man was called over, and he reached out and pushed me back into the room.

The moment I met the cloaked man's eyes, I couldn't help but stick out my tongue and lick my somewhat dry lips, as if I had seen a supreme delicacy, and I wanted to tear him apart and devour him immediately.

The cloaked man pressed his finger against the center of my brow, and a cold breath rushed into my head, and the pain in my chest hit again, and something was rampage through my chest.

This time, the sense of reality was particularly strong, and I could really feel the existence of that thing, grabbing the sleeves of the cloaked man with both hands, his eyes widened, and he gritted his teeth and endured it with difficulty.

The man in the cloak didn't shake me off, he slapped my backhand on my back, and a steady stream of true qi poured into my body, relieving my pain.

"Bai Li, you have to hold on, the Seven Exquisite Hearts are devouring the essence of one of the corpses, if you can hold on, you will be one step closer to success, if you can't stand it, you will die now." The man in the cape has figured out what I'm up to.

As soon as he finished speaking, a mouthful of black blood spat out of my mouth, and I covered my heart, and my five fingers dug into it hard, eager to penetrate the skin, through the flesh, and directly into the chest, digging out the thing.

"Bai Li, you can't die now, just hold on a little longer." The man in the cloak is more nervous than me, and my life and death are also of great significance to him.

I jerked my head up, met his eyes, and jumped out between my teeth word by word: "Mo-Xian-Night-"

"He has already entered the Ghost Gate, but as soon as he entered the Ghost Gate, he was targeted by Mo Yanping, and he has not been able to make real contact with the demon, you have to hold on, he needs your help." The man in the cloak began to motivate me with Moxian Night.

I bit my lip hard, let out a low growl, and said, "I'm going to find him!" ”

The man in the cloak was stunned, this time he didn't agree to me so happily, I stared at him with blood-red eyes, my whole body trembled slightly because of the extreme pain, and my upper and lower teeth clattered and pounded.

At this time, the vast majority of people may not be able to support it, and those who persist are unwilling to give up with a certain belief in their heads.

And Mo Xianye is my belief.

How could the man in the cloak not understand this truth, so it was difficult for him to answer me, if I said no, I would probably go crazy in the next moment, but if I did, he might think that it was not time to let me go to the underworld.

It was a tug-of-war, and it was up to me to see who could hold out to the end, and it was only when I felt my painful facial expressions began to grow hideous that he said, "Are you stupid? Mo Yanping is waiting for you in the underworld, if you don't go, he will hang Mo Xianye, for a long time, with Mo Xianye's calm and wise, maybe he can really avoid Mo Yanping and rescue his mother, but as soon as you enter, Mo Yanping will attack you without any scruples, and in the end, don't say it's you, even if it's a demon, it is estimated that it will not end well. ”

"Bai Li, hold on, after this essence is devoured, there will only be one essence left, maybe it will be ...... then"

"Jiugu, I want to see Jiugu."

My whole nerves were tense, I could only listen to half of what he said, it was noisy, but I also understood that he would not let me go to Mo Xianye in such a situation.

Then I'll retreat to the next best thing, if I can't see Mo Xianye, I'll meet Jiugu, maybe I can get a little useful information.

I desperately need someone I absolutely trust to accompany me, help me analyze the current situation, and give me advice.

The man in the cloak didn't expect me to change my words so quickly, he groaned, and finally agreed: "I asked Xiao Jiu to come over to accompany you, and I also promised to let you go out and walk around at a fixed time every day, but I also have to warn you, don't expect Xiao Jiu to help you escape, and don't think about going to the underworld." ”

He said bitterly: "You must know that every time an accident happens in the future, it will be more powerful than this one, and it will be more unbearable for you, if you are unfortunate enough to attack once in the underworld, no one will be able to help you anymore." ”
