37 | Climb to the top
In the second half of Dengxian Road, the mountains and trees gradually thin. The horizon widens.
The demon greedily breathed in the thin but fresh air, rested for a moment, and then continued to climb with the chapa on his back.
Finally, she saw the snow slanting down on the top of the mountain, leaking down the mountain road, like a snow-white soft hand, the light shone on the demon's body, turning into a warm tenderness to tease her heart, in a trance, the demon seemed to see Mu Yu, saw his snow-white hair, and a face more bright than peach blossoms, he smiled at her slightly frivolously as always, hooked his fingers.
"Mu Yu, is that you?" The demon closed his eyes and opened them again, and Mu Yu's face not only did not disappear, but became clearer.
"Nonsense, looking at the whole of Kyushu, who looks so handsome, who else is there besides the master?" Mu Yu asked with a smile.
"Is it really you, little incense?" The demon wanted to run in his direction immediately, but at this time, her legs were as heavy as lead, and it was difficult to move an inch.
"Youyou, don't you want to see me?" Mu Yu was a little disappointed.
"Of course not...... but the more the demon tried to rush over, the more heavy his whole body became. Even the pampas on his back seemed to be a hundred times heavier than before.
"Then why don't you come to me?" Mu Yu's tone was as resentful as that of a bride waiting to be returned.
"I want to go too, but I can......'t move," the demon quickly explained anxiously.
"That's because the burden on your body is too heavy, you're a demon." Mu Yu said with a distressed face, "Let go of him, let go of the burden on your body." โ
"No, he's Pujia, he's our friend......"
"You've done enough for him, but you've never done anything for me." Mu Yu said calmly.
"Not really." The demon hurriedly said, "If I replace him with you now, I won't choose to give up." โ
"But I'm me after all, and he's him after all, isn't it?" Mu Yu asked reluctantly, "Forget it, I'm leaving." โ
Mu Yu said, turned around and was about to leave.
"Don't go." The demon begged as he tried his best to climb another step. This step was extremely difficult, and it almost overdrew all of the demon's physical strength.
She couldn't support her body anymore and slowly fell on the road to ascending to the immortals.
But Muyu turned away as if he hadn't seen it.
Watching his back gradually dissolve in the snow-white light, the demon felt that his breath and heartbeat also melted away at that moment.
She stared blankly at the snow whiteness of the line, and a voice kept shouting in her earโhe's gone, he's goneโ
Empty despair surged towards the demon from all directions like water, maybe it was really as Mu Yu said, the burden on his body was too heavy, and it was time to let go.
She lay motionless on the cold and hard bluestone road, I don't know how long it took.
The sun rises and the moon sets, the stars are cold and frosty.
Countless times the demon fell asleep in a daze, and countless times, he woke up crying and laughing from his dream.
At some point, the starry cold between her eyebrows and the ends of her hair were covered with frost.
If she could see what she looked like now, she would definitely feel very familiar.
Because she had also seen Pu Jia's equally depressed appearance in her dreams.
The demon woke up from a painful dream that she didn't want to recall, and there was a tear in the corner of her eye.
She struggled to lift her hand and reached into her clothes.
She found out that there was only one chopstick left, and it turned out that it had been pressed under her body and held herself awkward.
The demon suddenly felt that she was really useless, she always thought that as long as she worked hard to cultivate immortals, she could protect the important people in her life, but in the end, even the magic weapon that Mu Yu gave her was only half left.
If Pu Jia could still talk to him now, then he would definitely tell himself very gently that she had done her best, and she was not to blame.
If Mu Yu hadn't left, then what would he say to himself?
Do you complain that you lost a pair of chopsticks?
He won't.
For his own sake, he would rather become a tree, how could he bear to blame himself?
How could they bear to leave themselves?
The demon shook suddenly, the Mu Yu she knew, her little incense would never leave her.
So, how could the person who left her leave alone be the real Mu Yu?
As soon as he thought of this, the demon's heart once again burned with fighting spirit. She didn't have the strength to stand up, but she could still crawl.
As long as she doesn't give up, even if she climbs, she can climb to the end of the road to Dengxian.
The hands, which were already scarred, once again became a blur of flesh and blood. But pain doesn't stop a heart from moving forward.
Even if it took all her strength to climb each stone staircase, at least, she still had time to regain her strength.
Between the demon and the completion of the test, it seems that only time and patience remain.
But after all, the demon underestimated the test that the Mengze Immortals left to the descendants of the Mengze Sect.
When she finally climbed to the last stone step, the bluestone road under her suddenly cracked, and after a whirlwind, the demon fell back to the battlefield of the Battle of Zhongjiang.
This time, she was no longer a bystander, but the one standing next to Pu Jia.
She became poplar.
Familiar scenes repeated over and over again, and she followed her until the two rushed up to the castle tower and were forcibly separated by the surging defenders.
The demon is full of only Pu Jia, and has no intention of fighting. Strangely, all the defenders didn't seem to see her, and no one attacked her. ใ
The last scene played out again, and the demon saw the movements of everyone around him become slow, and saw the arrow that slowly flew towards Pujia.
Without hesitation, she rushed to Pu Jia, trying to block the arrow for him.
But at the last moment, the demon suddenly stopped.
She is the one who blocks the arrows for Pujia, but the one who dies will be Yang Liu.
But if she doesn't stop it, then the one who dies will be Pu Jia.
At this time, the demon suddenly made a decision. She didn't block the arrow for Pujia, but chose to push him away.
The arrows flew between the two of them, and both Liu Yang and Pu Jia survived.
Seeing this, Cui Mu knew that his qi was exhausted, and slowly put down the bow in his hand, and he surrendered.
If this battle is doomed, why let these people who are still alive continue to die?
He thought that even if he were General Qin, he would make the same choice as him.
The demon didn't expect that her actions would change the fate of the three people.
It's a pity that the choices made in the test can't change the outcome in reality. But the demon's actions put her in an even more difficult situation.
Originally, as long as she gave up her life to save Pu Jia, she could complete the final test. But with Cui Mu's surrender and the end of the war, she never seemed to have a chance to complete this again.
