Chapter 335: The Way to Salvation
For three days, Xiao Cong and Hongxiang have been hiding in this valley, and have never moved the nest, every few hours, Xiao Cong will enter the consciousness world in the demon knife once, to see if Yin Nuo has woken up, so as to discuss with him about the resurrection of the soul, but Yin Nuo has been sitting there for the past three days, Xiao Cong has nothing to do about it, so he has to think about it by himself, but he doesn't know much about it after all, the only thing he can think of is the development trajectory of the body and soul after separation, this is a dead end, he thought about it for three days, and his mind was still a messγ
Finally, on the fourth night, Xiao Cong was idle after Hongxiang fell asleep, and came to the world of consciousness of the demon knife again, as soon as he came in, he had a little different feeling, this world was no longer as dry and desolate as when he came in before, it seemed that he was faintly a little more angry, just for a moment, he had a lot of guesses about it, the only reliable thing is that this poor anger should come from Yin Nuo, but whether this anger comes from Yin Nuo or not, one thing can be assured, this guy must have woken up now.
The layers of dense fog are still the same, and the demon sword soldier soul is still like that, hovering motionlessly in mid-air with the tip of the knife pointing downward, Xiao Cong walked forward generously, and the fog was too thick at this time, and he couldn't see Yin Nuo.
"Fourth Young Master Xiao. β
Yin Nuo's voice suddenly came from his ears, Xiao Cong turned his head to look around, but he couldn't see where the other party was, and then he closed his eyes, but he felt that Yin Nuo was close at hand, if it wasn't for his senses, there was only one explanation left over there - Yin Nuo's soul had merged with this world of consciousness.
But is he the master of this world of consciousness? It's really hard to say, nearly three days have passed, and Yin Nuo's soul has been enslaved.
"Where are you?" Xiao Cong asked.
"I'm right here. Yin Nuo's voice was calm, but Xiao Cong wanted to scold his mother when he heard it.
"Don't mess around with the master here, if you want to, come out and talk, if you don't want to, I'll leave. He said indignantly.
Yin Nuo's chuckle was overwhelming, echoes were layered, the voice had not faded away, and Xiao Cong's eyes slowly transformed into a familiar figure, tall and long, upright, and wearing that old-fashioned dark blue power suit.
This situation and this scene made Xiao Cong's heart quite uneasy, looking at this guy's smile and groaning, he always felt a little villain's sense of ambition, as if this guy was really a blessing in disguise, although he had expected this, but at this time, looking at this guy's appearance, it seemed that he didn't care about dying once, that is to say, the benefits obtained this time must be far greater than the price paid, but how big the price is, both of them know it in their hearts, but how great this benefit is, then Xiao Cong has to weigh it in his heart, is it more precious than his lifeοΌ
"Fourth Young Master Xiao, don't come unharmed. Yin Nuo smiled.
Xiao Cong looked at Yin Nuo with a gentle face, thinking that this guy could still laugh at this time, and then grinned slightly and gave an extremely ugly smirk, and teased:
"It seems that you are doing well here, then I have nothing to worry about, you stay in there, I'm leaving." β
After finishing speaking, he turned around and was about to go out with his sleeves brushed up.
"Fourth Young Master Xiao stays!" Yin Nuo shouted eagerly from behind.
Xiao Cong stopped, turned his head, his nose was not a nose, his eyes were not eyes, and he replied with a disdain:
"What, does Brother Yin have anything else to do?"
Yin Nuo's demeanor was no longer good, his face was full of smiles, and he flattered:
"Fourth Young Master Xiao, I still have to rely on you for this matter of returning to the world, how can you just say that you can leave, a servant who crosses the river realm like me, where can you go to find a second one, even if you can find it, can you apply the oath of immortality and the lantern spell again?
Xiao Cong raised his eyebrows lightly, and said suspiciously:
"Are you Yin Nuo?"
"It's true, it's unique, it's not deceiving, it's like a fake!" Yin Nuo patted his chest and swore an oath.
"What about your coldness, what about your loneliness? β
Yin Nuo smiled wryly,
"Xiao Sigongzi, you have to believe me, I am really Yin Nuo who has been with you for five days, if you don't believe it, I can tell you in detail about the experience of those five days, when we first met, we ......"
As soon as Yin Nuo was about to make a noise, he was stopped by Xiao Cong impatiently waving his hand,
"Go and go, don't follow me in this set, if you are controlled by something, you can also say all these things, I have seen the power of this world of consciousness, you tell these birds at all, besides, I cut off your head with my own hands, the wound of the severed head, even if you are a master of crossing the river realm, you will definitely die, I am not a Daluo immortal, and I am also weak in this regard, whether you are Yin Nuo or not, just obediently accept your fate, it is actually very good to stay here, the environment is indeed a little deserted, but it helps to concentrate on cultivation, I see that your soul body is not injured, it seems that you have got a lot of opportunities here, then hurry up and cultivate, maybe only rely on the soul body, can also ascend to Liyang, and at that time, he may be able to obtain an alternative supernatural power similar to an out-of-body soul, and it will not be too late to go out at that time. β
After a pause, I didn't forget to add a sentence,
"I'm serious. β
Yin Nuo quietly listened to Xiao Cong's perfunctory explanation, the bitter smile on his face became deeper and deeper, and in the end, he couldn't even laugh anymore, leaving only an unspeakable helpless and solidified prayer, which looked a little worrying.
"Fourth Young Master Xiao ......"
Yin Nuo wanted to speak and stopped, looking at Xiao Cong and raising his eyebrows lightly, looking like he had nothing to do with himself, he looked helpless, his eyes and face drooped, he snorted his lips a few times, and finally raised his head and said slowly:
"Fourth Young Master Xiao, don't go around in circles with me, I'm really Yin Nuo, how can I prove it so that you can believe me?"
Xiao Cong rolled his eyes when he heard this, and said with a little helplessness and anger:
"I've said it all, your current state, with my current strength, is also lacking in skills, why don't you believe me, you don't believe me so much, how can I believe you!"
Yin Nuo's expression became more and more wilted, and he slowly lowered his head,
"You must have a way!" the voice was small, but the tone sounded very sure.
"What did you say?" Xiao Cong said sternly.
Yin Nuo raised his head slightly and glanced at Xiao Cong carefully, and then lowered his head again, although he didn't dare to look directly at Xiao Cong's gaze, he was obviously still a little unconvinced, no, he was very unconvinced!
"With your Fourth Young Master Xiao's style of acting, careful calculations are not leaky, if you are not sure, you will definitely not cut that knife, nor will you go to great lengths to get the demon knife, let alone come to see me in this world of consciousness, you must have guessed that my soul can continue to survive in this world of consciousness for a period of time before you finish me, so there will be so much painstaking effort, you must have your plan, but now you are unwilling to tell me." β
Xiao Cong sneered lightly,
"Your analysis of what you said is very reasonable, when did you become so smart, but then again, you really think a little highly of me this time, your death is too complete, I really can't save you, but in my lifetime, I will definitely take this demon knife with me, come to see you occasionally, by the way, I want to do something to wish you to cultivate, I am benevolent and righteous, you are so self-conscious, and strive to see the light of day one day, what do you think?"
Yin Nuo's face could no longer find the slightest smile, and he returned to the expressionless face in Xiao Cong's memory, his eyebrows flew into his sideburns, his eyes were like cold stars, the bridge of his nose was high, his thin lips were cold, and his dark black eyes were as stubborn and dignified as ever, as well as the lingering gloom at this time.
"Since Fourth Young Master Xiao is also powerless about this, then Yin Nuo can't be strong, but I hope Fourth Young Master Xiao can pay more attention to it for me, if there is a chance to let Yin Nuo see the light of day again, Fourth Young Master Xiao can help Yin Nuo, after all, the master and servant, if Fourth Young Master Xiao doesn't dislike it, even in the demon knife, Yin Nuo is still the slave of Fourth Young Master Xiao, please!"
As he spoke, he clasped his hands into fists and bowed down.
Xiao Cong saw that Yin Nuo's true feelings were sincere, and he couldn't help but feel compassion again, sighed slightly, and said:
"Would you like to tell me about your experience here these days?"
Yin Nuo raised his head suddenly when he heard this, his eyes were full of surprise, he slowly stood up straight, pondered for a moment, and said softly:
"I have re-established a contract with the Demon Sword Warrior Soul, and my consciousness has been able to integrate into this world, in addition to this, I have also received the true inheritance of the Demon Sword Sect, and in general, I have benefited a lot. β
"That's why you're excited?" Xiao Cong asked with an eyebrow.
"No, I'm just so happy, mainly because I saw you again, I thought you were prepared for this, if I could see you again, it would prove that all my assumptions were right, but ......"
"Did the Demon Sword Soldier Soul tell you this?"
"He only told me that you had let it escape to the place where you and I first met, and that I guessed the rest. β
"You're a lot smarter, then. The ridicule in Xiao Cong's tone was undisguised.
Yin Nuo shook his head and smiled bitterly,
"Fourth Young Master Xiao, you are laughing again, it has been so long, it is normal for me to have some guesses, if I can't even think of these, then I am really stupid. β
"You're still stupid. Xiao Cong still did not restrain his recklessness in his words at all.
Yin Nuo had no choice but to shake his head and continue to smile bitterly, but he shook and shook his head, his eyes widened coldly, and he stammered:
"Fourth Young Master Xiao, do you mean ......?"
"I spent a lot of effort to save your body, I came here today, I wanted to discuss with you about the soul revival, I did everything I could, what to do next, I don't know, but you are a strong man who crosses the river realm, only a few steps away from the yang realm, I am just wondering, from the yang realm strong can soul out of the body magic power in your body has a little foundation, that is to say, you have planted that seed in your life, and what I want to do is to help you ripen and let this seed take root and sprout early, so that maybe you can return to the body and slowly merge with itγ β
Yin Nuo scrubbed his chin with his right hand, frowned and thought for a long time, raised his head and said solemnly:
"What Fourth Young Master Xiao said is very reasonable, no matter what Fourth Young Master Xiao wants me to do, I will fully cooperate!"
Xiao Cong grinned stiffly,
"You don't have anything else to say?"
Yin Nuo groaned for a moment and replied:
"Although I am already a cultivator of the river crossing realm, I am afraid that I don't know as much about these things as Fourth Young Master Xiao about the spirit body, and I can vaguely understand what the seeds that Fourth Young Master Xiao said are going on, but if I really dig deeper, I am confused, it just so happens that I am now a soul body, what does Fourth Young Master Xiao need, just rest assured to do research with me, I have nothing to say!"
Xiao Cong couldn't cry or laugh for a while when he heard this,
"What you said is generous, don't worry about doing research with you, I also want to do research with you, but I have to have that ability!"
"What then?" Yin Nuo frowned, his face full of distress and a little cute.
Xiao Cong sighed faintly, and asked thoughtfully:
"When did you cross the river?"
"Thirty years ago. Yin Nuo replied without thinking.
"How do you feel when you cross the river?"
Yin Nuo tilted his head and recalled vigorously,
"This ...... I can't really say...... I can't tell, after thirty years, I've been used to the state of crossing the river realm, how can I remember what it was like to pick up the star realm. β
Xiao Cong nodded slightly, it seemed that what Yin Nuo said also had some truth, but he still didn't give up, and asked:
"Then you check it carefully now, is there anything special about your soul body?"
Yin Nuo opened his arms, shook his head and looked up and down left and right, and wondered as he looked:
"No matter how I checked, there was nothing. β
Xiao Cong sweated violently when he saw it,
"I said big brother, even if you are a soul now, but it's not this inspection method, can you close your eyes and feel it with your heart!"
Yin Nuo rolled his eyes and muttered:
"How can you feel it with your heart, and your heart is outside. β
Despite his words, he obediently closed his eyes.
Xiao Cong waited for this guy's time for a stick of incense, and originally thought that this guy must have gained something after feeling it for so long, but he didn't expect this girl to reply seriously after opening her eyes,
"Nothing special. β
Xiao Cong really felt that he was about to be defeated.
"Don't feel it at all?" he asked, raising an eyebrow.
Yin Nuo nodded,
"Not at all. β
Xiao Cong rolled his eyes and sighed, and said helplessly:
"Forget it, I can't blame you for this, just you, Huigen, it's my wishful thinking to expect you to save yourself, forget it, forget it, blame me for this, blame me for this. β
Yin Nuo hurriedly put on an embarrassed face full of laughter, and prayed in a sleek tone that was so clumsy that it couldn't be more clumsy:
"Fourth Young Master Xiao, don't say that, no matter how strange this thing is, I can't blame you, something like this happened, that is, you still remember me, no matter how you say it, I am very grateful, we are totaling this matter, if you don't even care about me, then I will really be done." β
Xiao Cong was silent, Yin Nuo wanted to say something, but he couldn't spit out half a word after all, he was a clumsy person, and it was not easy to say Fang Cai's heartfelt words with a little hypocrisy, if he continued to say it, I am afraid that even he would have to doubt himself.
After being silent for a long time, Yin Nuo, who was frowning thoughtfully like Xiao Cong, muttered,
"If there was any way, something that only those who have a seed can do...... Isn't it possible to check whether you have seeds or not......"
Xiao Cong looked up at Yin Nuo, his eyes gradually lost focus, and he was young,
"There you go. β
Yin Nuo was overjoyed, grabbed Xiao Cong's arm and asked:
"Fourth Young Master Xiao has thought of a good plan, hurry up and listen to it. β
"No need to test, you should already have a seed by now, but I don't know if it's the one I want. Xiao Cong determined.
Yin Nuo's face was extremely ugly for a moment, and he drooped a face and said:
"Fourth Young Master Xiao...... How to say this. β
Xiao Cong sighed,
"You say that your consciousness has been able to merge into this world of consciousness, this is another dust body, and if the soul wants to merge into the dust body again after leaving the body, you need a seed, which means that you already have this seed, or even ......"
He paused, then continued:
"You can freely come and go in the world of demon knife consciousness, in short, you may have the out-of-body supernatural power in advance.
Yin Nuo's face was solemn, and he shook his head slowly,
"No, this statement is not true, this side of the consciousness world is special, and the living soul of the person who was killed by the demon sword can also be kept here for a period of time, until it is erased by the demon sword soldier soul and transformed into the soul energy here, I can merge with this side of the consciousness world, but because my identity as the successor of the demon sword has been recognized, it does not prove that I already have that seed. β
Yin Nuo Zhenzhen has words, which sounds very reasonable, Xiao Cong bowed his head slightly, and sneered:
"I have a question, you said that your identity as the heir of the demon knife has been recognized, but if you stay here and can't get out, what's the use of the demon knife asking you as a descendant?"
Yin Nuo's face was slightly shocked,
"Is Fourth Young Master Xiao still suspicious of me until now?"
Xiao Cong shook his head,
"I'm not doubting you, but it's really important, hey, by the way, how did you get recognized. β
Yin Nuo laughed at himself when he heard this,
"I said it's because of fate, does Fourth Young Master Xiao believe it?"
Xiao Cong replied with a smile on his face with playfulness:
"Letter. β
Yin Nuo laughed loudly, finished laughing, and said seriously:
"Whether Fourth Young Master Xiao believes it or not, what I said is true, this knife has an inexplicable origin, and it was not the private property of the Demon Sword Sect at the beginning, it is estimated that it was obtained by the founder of the Demon Knife Sect by chance, and then it was regarded as a treasure of preaching, if it is true, its age is not known how many years earlier than the Demon Knife Sect! β
"Then according to what you say, the Demon Sword Sect's inheritance technique was not created by the Demon Sword Ancestor, but was originally in this world of consciousness?" Xiao Cong asked with a smile.
Yin Nuo smiled and clapped his hands and praised:
"Fourth Young Master Xiao is really smart, and what he said is good. β
Xiao Cong didn't smile at his skin,
"You're very unskilled in, do you still need to think about this obvious thing?"
Yin Nuo scratched his head, looking embarrassed
"Fourth Young Master Xiao, you believe me, everything I said is true. β
"I didn't say that what you said was false, what price do you have to pay for this?"
Yin Nuo sighed, swallowed his saliva and replied:
"Everything is going towards becoming an immortal, but relying on the demon sword to cultivate, the price paid is greater after all. β
After a pause, he continued:
"If you don't succeed, you will become benevolent, I only have one chance to rush through the level, and if I don't succeed once, my soul will be annihilated. β
"Then you promise him!"
A heartless smirk appeared on Yin Nuo's face, and he said nonchalantly:
"In order to live a few more years, it's a big deal that I don't become an immortal. β
Hearing Yin Nuo say this, Xiao Cong felt quite uncomfortable,
"It's the one who coerced you. β
Yin Nuo smiled slightly, his eyes were unwavering,
"No, Fourth Young Master Xiao, it's a choice I didn't have in the first place. β
The two didn't speak again, so they were silent for a long time, and finally, Xiao Cong looked up at the sky, sighed slightly, and said calmly:
"Since the originator of the Demon Sword Sect was able to go out, then you can also go out now, and I will always help you keep your body, you think about it here, maybe the way to salvation is hidden in the inheritance of the Demon Knife, or in this world of consciousness, I can't help you now, today, just come here, I'm leaving." β
After saying that, he turned around and walked back.
Yin Nuo didn't hold back, but just bowed respectfully behind him, and said loudly:
"Congratulations to Fourth Young Master Xiao. β
As soon as the words fell, Xiao Cong's figure disappeared like this.
Yin Nuo's soul returned to the body after seven days, and Xiao Cong didn't know the mystery in this matter, and he didn't ask a word, just treated Yin Nuo as before, as if none of this had happened.
Although Xiao Cong didn't ask, Yin Nuo still mentioned two sentences, he said that the way to salvation is just as Xiao Cong said, it is hidden in the inheritance of the demon knife, but his soul seems to be not very suitable for the current body now, and he also faintly feels that some changes in himself are difficult to be strict, he asked Xiao Cong what is going on, Xiao Cong did not answer, just asked lightly,
"It's so much worse than the previous repair, can I go back to North Street? β
Yin Nuo was slightly stunned when he heard this, then smiled evilly, and replied in a deep voice:
"As long as Fourth Young Master Xiao says a word, he can go back now. β
So, facing the starlight in the sky that night, the three of them went to the Valley of Forgotten Life and continued this journey that had been stranded for 12 days.
