Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and in the belly of the mountain deep in the Tianfeng Mountain Range, on the stone platform surrounded by magma, Lin Qiu lay quietly.

On the edge of the magma lake, the old man in white stood calmly, but his eyes were staring at Lin Qiu, who was motionless, and a trace of nervousness could be seen in his eyes, obviously the old man's heart was not as calm as it seemed.

At a certain moment, Lin Qiu, who was lying on the stone platform, seemed to move, although it was only an extremely slight movement, and he still did not escape the eyes of the old man in white.

The old man in white finally showed a smile on his face, but he didn't come to Lin Qiu's side, but walked to the stone on the side, sat down, and closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Lin Qiu on the stone platform moved again, first his little fingers were slightly hooked, then his two hands and arms also trembled, and his closed eyelids also showed signs of opening, just like a person who had woken up in a coma.

I don't know how long it took, Lin Qiu finally opened his eyes, he sat up with difficulty, and involuntarily looked at the surrounding environment, and his eyes were full of magma.

"Am I going to hell? Scold! I think that my Lin Qiu has lived a bright and upright life, doing good deeds, but in the end, he was plotted by a good friend, and after he died, he ended up in hell, hehe......! Lin Qiu kept shaking his head and smiling bitterly.

But what made Lin Qiu strange was that there should be a lot of ghosts and demons in hell? Why is there only yourself here? The strange Lin Qiu looked at the surrounding environment again, could it be that he had gone to the eighteenth layer of hell, and this was a single room specially arranged to punish him? Lin Qiu thought wildly.

Finally, Lin Qiu saw the old man sitting on a stone not far away: "Hey, hello, are you the enforcer of hell?" ”

Obviously, Lin Qiu regarded the old man as an official in the underworld like a bull head and a horse.

It's no wonder that Lin Qiu, whoever has experienced death and woken up in this magma land will have the same thoughts.

The corners of the old man's mouth seemed to smile, but he quickly hid it, and Lin Qiu didn't notice it, the old man immediately opened his eyes and looked at Lin Qiu, as if he was pondering for a while, and then straightened his face and said slowly: "Yes, the old man is the warden of this eighteenth layer of hell, your name is Lin Qiu, right?" Tell me, what did you do to get thrown into these eighteen layers of hell? ”

"Is it really the eighteenth layer of hell?"

Lin Qiu thought to himself, anyway, he was dead, and there was nothing to be afraid of, because he was a human being, Lin Qiu was disappointed, and he was considered to be relieved when he died, but after he died, he went to hell, Lin Qiu suddenly felt that the world was unfair, so he talked about his "life" without taboo.

In the end, Lin Qiu even questioned the old man in white: "It's just that the people in the yang world are confused, why are the ghosts and gods in the underworld so indistinguishable from black and white?" I have never done a single thing in my life, and after death, I will not go to heaven and should not go to this worst eighteen layers of hell, right? ”

The old man in white was not angry after listening to Lin Qiu's words, but looked at Lin Qiu with a smile in his eyes, and then said slowly: "Oh? If what you said is true, could it be that our people are mistaken, but since you have come here, it is certainly impossible to go back, but given your special situation, I need to check whether what you said is true or false. ”

Then the old man in white closed his eyes, it seemed that he had verified, Lin Qiu was not in a hurry, in fact, he was just venting, he lost his dearest and most loved person, and was betrayed and attacked to death by his good friend, Lin Qiu really needed to vent.

After only a while, the old man reopened his eyes, looked at Lin Qiu and said, "Yes, the old man has just verified that you do have some grievances, we will exempt you from the decision to reincarnate as an animal, and give you another chance to reincarnate as a human being, as compensation, you can have the right to choose your own fate after reincarnation."

Lin Qiu's face was unwavering after hearing this, is he a human being again? He didn't want to!

I only heard the old man in white say: "You have two choices, one of them: you have a little talent, and end your life as ordinary as in your previous life." Second: the talent is against the sky, although the heart is right, but the magic skills are feared by everyone. Take your pick. ”

Lin Qiu didn't expect this "official" to be so easy to talk about, and gave him the opportunity to choose, and at the same time, he also despised this hellish "civil servant" in his heart, which was too irresponsible.

Shaking his head, not thinking about these useless things, he was hesitating whether he wanted to be a human again, thinking about how much he had failed in his "previous life", and if he could live again, maybe there would be nothing bad.

But when he was faced with these two choices, Lin Qiu hesitated again, it was absolutely impossible to choose the first one, he had already lived like that once, why bother to go over again?

As for the second one, Lin Qiu didn't understand a little, what is a demon with a positive heart? Although he wanted to become a demon when he was dying, it was just a momentary angry talk, and he was so painful to lose his loved ones, how could he harm others? What's more, in his heart, there is still a heroic and righteous spirit, and he can't do anything if he wants him to be a demon.

After thinking about it for a long time, Lin Qiu said slowly: "Can I give up these two options?" I'd rather be reincarnated as a bird and a beast. ”

The old man seemed surprised: "What? Aren't these two options right for you? You know, human beings are the spirits of all things, and reincarnation as a human is the wish of all the ghosts who come here, so why should you give up? ”

Lin Qiu said calmly: "Actually, I also want to be reincarnated as a human, but in the previous life, my heart was completely broken, what is the point of living again?" As for the second one, I can't convince my heart that although the people in the world are sinister, I don't want to take revenge and hurt other innocent people because of what happened to me, and I should do to others what I don't want to do to others, and I should be an animal rather than a bad person. ”

The old man in white nodded: "Well, it seems that your heart is good, but let me ask you, do you know what a demon is?" ”

Lin Qiu was stunned by the old man's question, demon? What is Demon? This question seemed to be very simple, Lin Qiu immediately said: "Demons, that is, demons, demons, they practice demonic skills, do all kinds of evil, they are the common enemies of righteous people, the devil is bloody and cruel, kills people without blinking, and everyone is punished for the disaster." ”

"Hmm" The old man in white nodded, seemingly satisfied with Lin Qiu's answer.

"Is that ruffian a demon?" The old man in white asked again.

"Of course not, the ruffians don't necessarily practice demonic skills, and they don't have strong strength, so they can't be called demons." Lin Qiu didn't understand what the old man's question meant, so he had to say it truthfully.

"Are the bandits and robbers demons?"

"This ...... Barely counted, right? "Lin Qiu is not too sure, bandits and robbers Lin Qiu have seen it, but many of them are ordinary elemental envoys, and they don't seem to be big devils, but they do bad things, and sometimes they collude with the people of the Temple of Darkness, and it's not impossible to say that they are demons.

"Is the Dark Elemental a demon?"

"Of course!" Lin Qiu's answer was categorical.

"The dark elemental attribute is the easiest of all elemental attributes to cultivate, but at the same time, it is also the most difficult to control, cultivating the dark element will lose one's heart, making people evil, ferocious, killing, bloodthirsty, they are the biggest demons in the world."

The old man didn't care about Lin Qiu's explanation, and continued to ask, "Is your friend Zhang Ming a demon?" ”

"This ......" Lin Qiu didn't know how to answer, he vaguely knew the old man's purpose, but he couldn't figure it out for a while, said yes? But he was once his good friend, and he was an earth-attribute elemental envoy, and he had nothing to do with demons. Say no? But he killed his entire family, and he didn't even let go of his own child who had just been 100 days old, what is the difference between these behaviors and the devil?

Lin Qiu fell into deep thought, he seemed to grasp something.

The old man continued: "You said that the ruffians are not demons, but they are bullying ordinary people in the township, in the eyes of these bullied ordinary people, are they not demons? ”

"You said that the devil is the existence of the one party that is the one who is in trouble, and the bandits and robbers are not the one who is in trouble?"

"You said that cultivating the dark elemental attribute is a demon, but the dark elemental must be doing bad things?"

"The city lord of Qingtie City is not a dark attribute, but he ordered to kill your entire family, isn't what he did bad? Your friend Zhang Ming, he is not a dark attribute, the moment he killed your wife and children, in the eyes of your wife and son, he is probably more terrible than the devil, right? ”

The old man in white was about to continue to speak, at this time, Lin Qiu raised his head suddenly, then knelt heavily on the ground, kowtowed to the old man in white three times, and then said solemnly: "Thank you, Mr. for your advice, Lin Qiu understands, I am willing to choose the second one, reincarnated as a demon!" ”

The smile on the old man's face became even brighter, and he looked at Lin Qiu, "Oh? So how do you make a demon? ”

Lin Qiu didn't think about it and said: "Demon, it's just a name for a righteous person for a bad person, all things have spirits, no one can choose their innate elemental attributes, the dark elemental envoy does not necessarily do bad things, on the contrary, it is not the dark elemental envoy, and it does not necessarily do good things, as long as you have a righteous heart and only do what you think is right, I will step on the uneven road, I will kill people who commit evil, I want to become a god in the hearts of good people, and a demon in the hearts of evil people." ”

The old man nodded lightly when he heard this, obviously, Lin Qiu understood his words, and Lin Qiu's answer also made him very satisfied. So the old man stood up and said to Lin Qiu, "Lin Qiu, congratulations on your rebirth. ”
