Chapter 18: Missed Eventually

The big ring knife slashed at the closed eyes, wrinkled nose, bitten and bloody lips and the big good head, as long as this knife was chopped, the life of the nine and a half would be fruitful, the prince of the country of the negative would disappear from this world, the country of the negative would no longer have any hope of recovering the country, and the plan of a certain adult would be in vain......

So nine and a half, can't die.

The big ring knife didn't fall in the end, it was gently caught by a hand. The owner of that hand was hiding his whole body in a huge black robe, and the black robe moved with the wind under the heavy rain, and it was vaguely obvious that this person's hair and beard were extremely long, as if he was an immortal.

This person is Tan Yiju.

When Tan Yiju took the big ring knife with one hand, the time around him seemed to stand still, and even the pouring rain froze. In everyone's astonishment, Tan Yiju's voice gently floated into Jiuban's ears: "There is cause and effect in this world, grievances and hatreds have cause and effect, you go with me, everything here, I will bury it for you." After finishing speaking, Tan Yiju took the big ring knife with one hand, and then lifted the nine halves with the other hand and flew away.

Under Tan Yiju's body, it seemed that the stagnation of time had not been lifted, but the land containing Qiao He's corpse gradually closed, and under the panic and horror of the Kiss Army, all living and inanimate things were gradually wrapped and buried. An hour later, it turned into a plain where all signs of life had disappeared, and any life that ever existed was wrapped in layers of dirt in the past, and there was no future in sight.

Nine and a half were lifted into the air in Tan Yiju's hands, and they were getting higher and farther away from Qiao He's body, which was already close to cold. His thoughts, his sorrows, all his emotions were washed away by everything he had just experienced, and he was washed away by the strength of the kiss and his own weakness, and it took a while to turn into a sentence and spit out to the earth.

"Qiao He!"

It's just that the sound of wind and rain around him whined, and the words only passed between his lips and teeth and dissipated with heaven and earth, only the slowly closing land rose and fell with his departure. The rain gradually subsided, and when the sun rises tomorrow, perhaps that land will become a cradle of fresh life, and what has just happened tonight, if you don't deliberately remember it, I am afraid that few people in this world can remember.

A teardrop slid down Nine-Half's face, ran over his cheeks, and then was blown down into the air by the wind, then on the branches, splattered into countless fragments, and finally returned to nothingness.

......

When Jiu Ban woke up from Tan Yiju's residence, Qiao He's last dying scene suddenly broke into his mind, and Jiu Ban fell from the bed to the ground with a roar.

He really didn't want to recall that horrible hellish scene again, it was really painful.

Then the bamboo door opened, and Tan Yiju walked in from outside, looked at him and said, "Wake up, drink the medicine." As he spoke, he handed over a bowl of hot pottion. Although he has a face similar to Jiuhan, in fact, in addition to his facial features, Tan Yiju always has an expression of "my family is dead", and that face seems to have no moving muscles, as if it is cold for ten thousand years.

Jiuhan looked at the figure at the door with empty eyes, and didn't know what to say with his mouth open.

Tan Yiju sighed and looked at Jiu Ban and said, "When life is not supposed to be, it is all black and white." When the time is not good, the only way to change your life is to go against the sky. ”

What is that, is there really a way to change one's fate in this world? Hehe, but what's the use of changing one's life now? Xiao Du has disappeared, Xiaoyin Village has been slaughtered, and now even Qiao He has left him, can it be said that if he changes his life against the sky, he can let these people come back? Could it be that if he succeeds in changing his life against the sky, he can resurrect everyone, and even let everything return to the original point, so that he can have a chance to choose?

Thinking that the people around him were all far away from him, Jiuhan showed a painful look on his face: "This ...... Is that what you said about me, the life of the dead......? It turns out that once a dead person like me makes any moves, it will really bring boundless pain to the people around me....."

Tan Yiju nodded: "It's not too stupid." I have already told you that you are a dead person, and last time I borrowed my hand to restore the memories that you should have lost in your life, such a defiant act should have caused you to be punished by the five thunder gods from heaven, but you are very lucky, someone close to you has shared part of your calamity and let you escape. But in the end, today, isn't it much easier for your heart demon and your heart tribulation to be punished by the five thunder gods? Nine and a half, do you know the mistake?!" In the end, Tan Yiju's expression seemed to have dropped to the freezing point, and he almost scolded, like a King Kong lion's roar.

Listening to Tan Yiju's words, a painful look appeared once again in the hollow eyes of the nine half-airs, and he stretched out his hand to hammer the ground and cried loudly.

"Why? Why let all the people leave me, why let my country endure the fate of destruction, why let my people suffer so much! Why, why is this? Why let Twilight leave me, why let me lose Qiao He? Why. Why do you want me to know that all this is a conspiracy? Why am I just a weak scholar, a prince who can't even be defeated by a soldier, why don't I have the martial arts of a silver mastiff? What strength do I have to make others follow me, and why should I talk about recovering the country? ”

But suddenly, as if remembering something, Nine and a Half stopped crying. He wiped the tears from his face, and directly dragged his kneeling body towards Tan Yiju at the door.

"Mr. Tan, you must know what I should do, don't you? You can control the way of heaven, can't you? You can show me the way, can you make me change my life against the sky, right? You said before that you can help me change my life against the sky, that's completely okay!" Nine and a half pupils were full of bloodshots, and his emotions were extremely excited, almost crazy. "Mr. Tan, you have already helped me once, you must be able to help me a second time, right?" he pulled the corner of Tan Yiju's clothes and asked the other party to show him the way, looking crazy.

"You can't fool me, you were the one who wiped out those manti-kissed soldiers last night as soon as you stretched out your hand, right? You are a cultivator, right, you can influence the way of heaven, please help me! Please help me change my life against the sky, let me gain the strength to avenge the people who died because of me, Mr. Tan, you must have a way, don't you? By the end of the day, Nine-and-a-Half was almost hoarse. His voice was hoarse, as pitiful as a man with nothing begging for a piece of dry food. Pitiful and humble.

Tan Yiju looked at Jiu Ban's crazy appearance, threw him to the ground with his sleeves, and scolded loudly: "How dare a damn person talk to me about the heavens? ”

After speaking, Tan Yiju turned around and walked out directly, without looking back.

The clenched hands smashed into the ground with a fist, and Jiuhan's heart was full of anger and grief. He remembered the faces of the dead people on the city tower, the unprovoked Xiao Du and the entire Xiaoyin Village that was brutally slaughtered, and Qiao He, who died because of his incompetence, and what Tan Yiju told him that he was dead. Oh, my destiny is dead? What can I do if I don't obey the destiny of heaven? The determination to take revenge and the indignation of fate turned into a ball of flames that scurried around in the body of Nine Half, making him tremble uncontrollably.

"Changing my life against the sky, can only changing my life against the sky help me?" Then I'll change it to you!" Nine Half's roar faintly turned into a circle of ripples and spread, and went away wantonly where he couldn't see. "If this day is unreasonable, I will turn the day upside down, if this earth is unreasonable, I will overturn this earth, if there is no one in this world to reason with me, then what can I do if this world is turned upside down? I want all those who hurt those around me to pay the price!"

It's really a young spirit, and he is arrogant. But no matter how heroic and heroic you are, you are not the Monkey King. Ninety-and-a-half is just the prince of a dead country in a country of negative income, what can he do with his own strength? In the end, don't you still have to ask for others first?

From then on, at the door of Tan Yiju's residence, there was always a young man kneeling in front of the house and praying for Tan Yiju to help him complete the legendary "change of life against the sky". The boy wants to get out of this valley and avenge his former friend and lover, and destroy the Three Kingdoms.

"Are you really willing? Would you rather accept the pain of changing your life than try? This was the first day that Jiuhan knelt at the door of Tan Yiju's residence, and Tan Yiju asked him what he said.

"The territory is thousands of miles, and I will never give up. Nine and a half answered without any hesitation.

Tan Yiju didn't speak, he just slowly turned around and walked into his residence. Tan Yiju's steps were slow, so slow that people thought he seemed to be thinking about something. And Jiu Ban knelt outside the door, silently waiting for Tan Yiju's answer. For three days, for three whole days, no matter the wind, rain, lightning, thunder, and thunder, I didn't move once, and I didn't close my eyes and sleep once.

Finally one day, Tan Yiju walked out of his residence and looked at the ragged and kneeling nine and a half in front of him. Tan Yiju looked at him and asked seriously, "Are you really willing to bear all the hardships caused by changing your life against the sky?"

Nine-and-a-half's body swayed, and his voice was hoarse. He struggled to open his two parched lips, and as if he had exhausted his last strength, he said: "I am nine and a half willing, not for myself, but for revenge." In order to avenge Xiao Dui, to avenge Qiao He, to avenge Xiao Yin Village, and to give me thousands of negative people who died under the iron ride, take revenge!"

After saying this, Jiuhan finally fainted due to exhaustion. Tan Yiju's eyebrows furrowed, he stared at the familiar stranger carefully and looked at it, and then laughed: "Hahaha, I, Tan Yiju, am known as a hidden doctor in the world, but I think I have never done anything really against the principles of heaven. Now that you insist on doing so, then I will show this world crazy once, and this heaven and earth crazy once. The hidden doctor Tan Yiju, after all, he still can't be sorry for the word 'mad'!"

After the nine and a half bodies were completely recovered and recuperated for another three days, Tan Yiju took the nine and a half to a high mountain. The mountain was very high, six thousand six hundred and sixty-six feet. On the top of the mountain, there are nine huge totems sitting around, in the middle is a rough platform made of marble, like the place used by various countries to worship the heavens, and there is a lamp in each of the nine directions corresponding to the nine totems, flashing with a faint blue flame, if you don't look carefully, you really can't find it.

Although it was a sunny day, Jiu Ban always felt that this ritual-like place had always had an indescribable weirdness, but looking at Tan Yiju's calm look, he still breathed a sigh of relief when he fell to the ground, and walked towards the central platform according to Tan Yiju's request.

As Jiu Ban walked towards the middle position, Tan Yiju's voice sounded from behind him: "Changing one's life against the heavens is an act of rebellion against God, and our actions are like pulling people back from the underworld and hell, so you must kill someone in the future to replace your own name, so as to make up for your mistakes." If you really want to, sit right in the middle of that platform. This is your last chance to turn back. ”

Jiuhan's footsteps hesitated slightly, and when he heard that he was going to kill someone, his brows furrowed, and he opened his mouth to ask: "I don't know if Mr. asked me to get rid of a great traitor?" If not......

Tan Yiju stared at his eyes, and he said calmly: "It is not something that you and I can determine whether there is a life or not, but the person you want to get rid of will definitely be the great traitor." If you say yes, go over. I'm going to get started. ”

Jiu Ban said yes and walked to the center of the platform to sit down, and then closed his eyes and waited for Tan Yiju to do it.

In fact, at this time, the nine and a half years were extremely nervous in their hearts. When he finally decided to implement the method of changing his life against the sky, Tan Yiju had already agreed with him that Jiu Ban would do one thing for him after finally completing the change of life against the sky. The scope of this matter is very wide, it can be to take something, or it can be to kill someone, and Nine and a Half can't refuse. If Tan Yiju's request to him is to kill a person, and the law against the sky requires him to kill a great traitor in the end, this is two lives, but it is an extremely cruel decision for Jiuhan.

Killing people is not what Nine and a Half is good at.

In addition to killing these two people, there is another place where Nine and a Half have a slight resistance, that is, if he wants to finally complete the act of changing his life, he needs to kill eight other people who have the same or similar life as him, but who belong to the same type of people after all. Tan Yiju said that nine is the extreme, and only by killing eight other people of the same kind and integrating the number of nine into one, can nine and a half complete the ultimate transformation and complete the real act of changing one's life against the sky. If you kill a great traitor and a great evildoer, you can't say a superfluous word, but if you kill an ordinary person, it will be an extreme torment for Jiuhan.

Tan Yiju stood outside the platform, adjusting the dark blue flames in each direction, and then pulled out a silk thread from it and connected it to Jiuhan's body. Immediately, the dark blue flames rose up, and as if they had been ordained by heaven, they burst into flames and soared into the sky. Immediately after, Tan Yiju beckoned to the sky again, attracting the sunlight, and turned into a phantom on the corresponding totem, although it was not real, but it was vaguely recognized as a figure.

There are nine in total, corresponding to each totem. Nine figures in the nine totems rushed into the body of the nine halves one after another, each time a silk thread was connected to the nine halves, and then a phantom shadow was condensed above the totem pillar. This is a question of the nine and a half against the heavens, every time his heart is firm, there will be one more phantom, until the nine are complete.

In this way, the ceremony continued until the evening when the sun was about to set, and the whole process was over. Jiuhan didn't feel any difference, but when he closed his eyes and felt it carefully, he seemed to feel that his spiritual sense had become much clearer. In some distant places, there seemed to be something calling to them from afar, but the feeling was indescribable and inexplicable.

In fact, nine-and-a-half knew, and he knew almost all of them. He has read similar passages in many texts, and all the writers have almost unanimously stated one thing: to change one's destiny against heaven is to kill a group of people with the same or similar destiny as oneself, and steal the destiny of others to make up for oneself. To put it bluntly, it's just robbery, snatching your life.

And changing one's life against the sky and robbing others of their destiny to make up for oneself is by no means as simple as one plus one equals two. Although Tan Yiju never told Jiu Ban what the final result of changing his life against the sky was, Jiu Ban understood that what he could get for every time he killed someone, whether it was physical or mental, would be huge. Even in the near future, he would not have much trouble easily killing a man as powerful as a silver mastiff.

After all, the ultimate goal of truly changing one's life against the sky is to become a god.

The moment the ceremony ended, when Jiuban didn't feel anything, Tan Yiju's whole person became weak. At the end of the moment, the madman almost fell, his face was instantly covered with wrinkles, and the whole person seemed to be on the verge of death. Jiuhan, who woke up, saw Tan Yiju like this, and hurriedly rushed back to his residence with him, but during the run, Jiuhan obviously felt that his foot strength had become abnormally good, and he didn't feel any discomfort all the way down.

Nine and a half knew that this change of life against the sky was done.
