On this night, the moon was thick.

Like all nights, the city that never sleeps is brightly lit.

Sikong Blood and Hu Dingshan had already left, Nie Yuxin and Monk Bu sat in the hall, both of them closed their eyes slightly, sitting quietly, as if they did not interfere with each other, but each other's air currents were entangled in mid-air, like the roots of an invisible old tree, the only difference was that one was in mid-air and the other was underground.

"Fuliu!" Nie Yuxin suddenly spoke.

Out of the shadows where the light could not shine came a person, a woman, a beautiful woman.

There are many beautiful women in the city that never sleeps, but there are few who are beautiful and powerful, and there is only one who is beautiful and powerful.

A lake blue is a plain robe with a jade face like ice and snow, if Sikong Blood is here, it will definitely feel strange, because as far as he knows, Fuliu is not in the city that never sleeps, but her people are standing here, there is no doubt.

"Your Excellency. Fuliu bowed his head and saluted respectfully.

When outsiders, the two can have no dignity, and once outsiders are present, she resumes the role of the cold-faced maid, cold, distant, and objective.

"You find nothing or nothing. Nie asked in a delirious heart.

Fuliu shook his head and said in a low voice, "Tell your lord, everything is normal." ”

Fuliu is a demon, and the demon's sense of the world is far beyond that of people, perhaps this is the favor of the gods for the demon race, although their cultivation is a hundred times more difficult than that of humans, but there is always something special to make up for the gap between them.

Fuliu was sure that there was nothing wrong around, except for the three people in this hall, there was no one else, and there was no wind and grass, everything was incredibly calm.

But Nie Yuxin obviously didn't think so, he sighed and said, "I can already feel it." ”

"Feel what?" Fuyanagi frowned.

"Feel the breath coming from there. Nie Yuxin didn't say where it was, but his meaning was already obvious, it was in the Linglong Pagoda, inside the Linglong Pagoda.

For a few minutes, no one spoke, and everyone's bodies were soaked in an eerie silence, until Nie Yuxin spoke again: "But it's normal if you don't feel it, you are not destined after all." ”

Fuliu was confused, she didn't understand what it meant to be a destined person, but her understanding of Nie Yuxin made her understand that at this moment, there were some things that could not be asked.

If he doesn't want to say, even if you ask, it's in vain.

Nie Yuxin smiled, shook his head, and said, "How long have you been following me?" ”

"Twenty years, twenty years. Fuliu's tone couldn't help but carry a sense of vicissitudes.

The twenty years of a human woman may directly transition from a flower girl to an old woman, even for the demon race, twenty years is an extremely long time, whether it is a human race or a demon race, there are several twenty years.

Unconsciously she has been by Nie Yuxin's side for twenty years, no matter the cold or the summer, whether it is winter or summer, she is by his side, looking at him, thinking of him, trying to break the barriers of the heart, but when she thinks that she has broken all the barriers, she finds that the heart in front of her is not only a fiery heart, but also a colder and stronger ice, but even so, she never thought of giving up.

"The adults asked what this was for. Fuliu asked, in just a moment, he had adjusted his mood.

Nie Yuxin smiled and said, "It's nothing, just ask." Suddenly I feel that you have been with me for a long time, and there are some things you should know. ”

Fuliu didn't speak, not even rejoice. She understood that Nie Delusion would never tell her something for no reason, humans and demons, after all, were two opposing groups.

The monk suddenly opened his eyes and stared at Nie Delusion, trying to see some clues in those godless eyes, but the benefits of the blind are obvious, and you can no longer see the joys, sorrows, sorrows, and sorrows from the window of the blind man's heart, nor can you see other things.

Nie Delusion's heart is like a mystery, Sikong Blood can't see through it, Hu Dingshan can't see through it, and he can't be a monk either.

Nie Yuxin shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Do you know why I violated the ancestral teachings and actively entered the WTO. ”

"I don't know. "Fuyanagi Road.

Nie Yuxin smiled, as if he was very satisfied with Fu Liu's answer, the principle he adhered to was, what I told you, you can know, what I don't tell you, you can't know.

A man needs a smart woman, but he will never like a woman who is too smart, so a really smart woman always knows how to advance and retreat, knows the gains and losses, and never crosses the line.

The monk looked at the two of them with interest, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but carry an arc.

Nie Yuxin continued: "I was also in the prime of my life back then, about twenty years old, maybe twenty-five, I can't remember, but I won't be much older than Qingqing and Han Chuang now. At that time, my father was still there, and he adhered to the traditions of the Nie family, living in seclusion in the mountains, regardless of the world. ”

Nie Yuxin smiled bitterly, "At that time, the Nie family was even more low-key than the current Hu family, the Hu family couldn't hide some people who paid attention to the grassland, but the Nie family hid it from everyone in the world, and the world knew that the Nie family existed, and it was counted in one palm." ”

Monk Bu nodded, but did not speak, he knew that what Nie Yuxin said was the truth, and it was a well-known fact, and he also knew that he would say some secrets next.

Fuliu also didn't speak, but unlike Furui Bubo, who was not a monk, she was a little excited, even nervous, and under her calm appearance, there was a heart that was beating wildly.

She knew that she was about to touch the knot in Nie's delusional heart, which was a lingering nightmare that existed in his heart.

Nie Yuxin sighed and continued: "As the heir of the Nie family, I am qualified to enter the Nie Family's Museum to read the classics. ”

"What history?" Fuyanagi almost blurted out, and then she knew that she had crossed the line, and a qualified audience member should not make her own comments, let alone be in a hurry, she had committed a big taboo.

Like all the people who commit great taboos, she is terrified and uneasy.

But Nie Yuxin didn't blame it, he just smiled, "That is a piece of the Nie family's secret, from this sandwich animal skin, I learned that the ancestor of the Nie family, Nie District, was trapped in the Linglong Pagoda." ”

Monk Bu's eyes lit up, and he said, "This is impossible, the Nie family is already dead now." ”

Nie Yuxin glanced at him and smiled, "That's right, Nie Qu is dead, but it doesn't mean that he can't live in the Linglong Pagoda." ”

The monk frowned, "What do you mean by that?"

Nie Yuxin smiled slightly: "Back then, the ancestor stripped off a part of his spiritual consciousness with great mana and placed it on top of a puppet, but the real person went deep into the tower when the pagoda was completed to protect the demons in his heart. ”

"Why would he do this?" The monk's expression became more and more serious, guarding the heart demon is not a trivial matter, the bewitching power of the heart demon is so strong, he has not tried it personally, but according to his master, in the world, as long as there are desires and ambitious people, no matter how strong or low the strength is, it is difficult to get rid of the temptation of the heart demon, he knows the power of the heart demon, if the heart demon gets out of trouble, he will definitely become the emperor of the human race, so he did everything possible to help Han Chuang enter the tower, trying to use his special identity to suppress the heart demon. This time, I suddenly heard that the ancestor of the Nie family was carrying everyone on his back and entering the tower to guard the demons, how could he not be nervous?"

"Is this the so-called variable?"

Nie Yuxin ignored his uneasiness, and continued: "Back then, the ancestors made some mistakes, which caused the heart demon to have the ability to get out of trouble after a thousand years, so he felt guilty and wanted to delay the birth of the heart demon with his own strength, so he hid it from everyone and entered the pagoda. ”

The monk sighed and said, "Ling Zu is really admirable. In fact, the birth of the demon in the heart is a fixed number, and we are just doing our best to settle the destiny of heaven, so why should he suffer?"

Nie Yuxin shook his head and said, "You don't understand the mentality of the ancestor, because he planted it, so he wants to end this fruit personally." ”

But he wasn't the one who turned it out. The monk sighed and said, "What he should know is that among the saint's disciples back then, he was the most proficient in miscellaneous studies, and it is impossible for him not to count this."

Nie Delusion smiled bitterly, "Most of the people who can be counted as fate don't believe in fate, and most of them try to change their fate, but they have changed the fate of too many people, but they can't change their own fate, and they can't change the general trend." ”

The monk is also a person who is proficient in arithmetic, and when he heard Nie Yuxin say this, he not only sighed empathetically, but stopped talking.

The two were silent for about a few minutes, and Fuliu said, "What happened later?"

Nie Yuxin continued: "I questioned my father with this animal skin, but my father only said that he didn't know, and he didn't believe it, and told me not to believe it, but how could I not believe this, so I expelled myself from the family, and my father was angry and became seriously ill, and died within a few years. ”

Fu Liu looked at Nie Delirium, she could feel the peace of Nie Delusion, it was this kind of calm that was the most heart-wrenching thing, because of her own death, such a pain would never be calmed by the passage of time, but would fester.

Nie Yuxin's calmness was just burying the pain in his heart.

As soon as he thought of this, Fuyanagi's heart ached.

Nie Yuxin shook his head and continued: "My father died, I was expelled from the house, the Nie family was immediately dispersed, most of the children of the side branch changed their names and surnames, and the entire Nie family is still surnamed Nie, I'm afraid I'm the only one, I'm not reconciled!" his tone finally fluctuated.

The monk sighed and said: "You are not reconciled, so you thought of finding the Linglong Pagoda and releasing the ancestors of the Nie family, and took refuge in the Evil Moon Sect twenty years ago, and you also wanted to rely on the power of the Evil Moon Sect to find the pagoda, right?"

"That's right," Nie Yuxin sneered, "How can an old man of the Evil Moon Sect take it seriously, even if Sikong Evil Moon himself is just that, but the old man is alone, and if he wants to find the location of the pagoda, it is tantamount to ascending to the sky, only by relying on the power of the Evil Moon Sect can there be hope, but unfortunately——"

"It's a pity that Sikong Evil Moon is too arrogant to do things, and he is angry. "Don't be a monk to say," the Evil Moon Sect became the target of public criticism and was jointly exterminated by the three major sects of Yunzhou. ”

"Yes, it was going to be successful, just a little bit. Nie Delusion sighed, "Back then, that secret was in the hands of Sikong Evil Moon, and he knew that it was impossible to survive, so he used this secret to blackmail me and help his son rebuild the Evil Moon Sect twenty years later." ”

"So you laid out twenty years ago, concealed the three major sects, and preserved the vitality of the Evil Moon Sect. ”

"Yes, the three major sects are not the opponents of the old man," Nie Yuxin's tone was very proud, "The old man only used a few tricks to turn them around. ”

The monk said: "Twenty years later, you Sikong Blood re-established the Evil Moon Sect with your help, and you also got the secret of the Linglong Pagoda as you wished. ”

"That's right," Nie said in a delusional heart, "It's just that I didn't expect that the pagoda had always been guarded by the Hu family, and I thought that the Hu family, like my Nie family, would stay away from the pagoda so as not to arouse suspicion." ”

"The more dangerous the place, the safer," said the monk, "the sage's plan is always difficult to understand." ”

"That's right, but I still found the Linglong Pagoda. Nie Yuxin said, "I followed the method introduced in the animal skin and the map of the Nie family, and sneaked into the pagoda, but I didn't expect that the heart demon had already controlled most of the pagoda at this time, and seriously injured me with the sword qi of the tower, if it wasn't for the sudden action of the ancestor, I'm afraid I would have died on the spot."

The monk shook his head, and there was a hint of pity in his eyes when he looked at Nie Delusion.

"Why did you support Han Chuang into the tower again, don't tell me that it is to find an elixir to treat your eyes, I have checked your eyes, although it is troublesome, it is not impossible to treat. ”

"Sure enough, it's a monk from Beihai Zen Temple, and I can't hide anything from you. Nie Yuxin sneered and said, "I helped Han Chuang to enter because he is the only person who can restrain the demons in his heart, and he is also the only person who can liberate the ancestors, as long as the ancestors can come out of the pagoda and return to the world, everything I have paid and everything the Nie family has paid is worth it." ”

Monk Bu looked at Nie Delirium, who looked like he was crazy, shook his head, and said, "Do you really think that's the case?"

"What's wrong?" Nie Yuxin was interrupted by him, and his face finally showed a look of displeasure. Fu Liu also looked at the monk with an angry face, as long as Nie Yuxin gave an order, even if she was defeated, she would not hesitate to make a move.

The scene was a little tense for a while.

Monk Bu shook his head slightly, and said in a deep voice: "You are wrong. ”

"Am I wrong, what's wrong?" Nie Yuxin said with a disdainful expression, "Is it also wrong to let your ancestors get out of trouble?"

The monk shook his head and said, "The ancestor of the Nie family entered the pagoda voluntarily, and if the demon is not eradicated one day, he will not go out." ”

"No way! Even if it is voluntary, there is no one who does not desire freedom," Nie said excitedly, "Besides, after so many years, the sins suffered by the ancestor are enough to make up for the mistakes he committed back then." ”

Nie was excited, even angry, and when the monk questioned the goal he had fought for all his life, the flames of anger erupted from his chest.

The monk sighed and said, "Do you really think that the ancestor of the Nie family is willing to come out?" After a pause, he continued: "Since he was willing to trap the demon with his body, he never thought about getting out of the tower, if I guessed correctly, it was very easy for him to come out over the years, but he didn't, and he still stayed in the tower to fight against the demons." ”

Nie Yuxin was silent, he didn't think about the statement that he couldn't be a monk, but he didn't want to believe it, he didn't want to believe that things would be like this, and he didn't want to believe the fact that to this day, the ancestors of the Nie family didn't want to go out of the tower.

"Impossible! It's not like this!" he excitedly grabbed behind the monk, and raised his right hand into a palm.

The monk smiled and sneered.

"Confused!" he reprimanded loudly, "Who is the ancestor of the Nie family? He is the one who designed the Linglong Pagoda, and his research in the mathematical technique of the mechanism is even more profound than that of the saint, if he is not willing, who can trap him?"

"Even if he can come out, don't forget, thousands of years have passed, and thousands of years are enough time for everything to turn into smoke. ”

The monk paused and continued: "Even a saint can't resist the erosion of time, let alone the ancestor of your Nie family, he is still alive because of the pagoda, because of the existence of the pagoda, he can maintain his spiritual consciousness immortal, once he leaves the pagoda, the consequences-"

"No! it can't be!" Nie exclaimed, "It can't be like this!"

This is true for anyone who discovers that the career he has been fighting for all his life is just a pipe dream. The monk sighed and said in a low voice: "You have inherited the Nie family's mechanism and mathematics, you should know better than me, no one can escape the erosion of time, the reason why the pagoda can preserve the spiritual sense for so long is because the saint has created another space with great mana, a space with independent time, and this space is not suitable for the saint himself, do you understand." ”

Understand? Tomorrow, of course. There is no one in this world who understands what the monk says better than Nie Yuxin.

No one can even believe what the monk says. But Nie Yuxin knew that it was true.

Every word, every word in every sentence is true. It's not that Nie Delusion hasn't thought about this problem, but under the guidance of fanatical thoughts, he chooses to ignore it and choose to believe that if-

But there are far less ifs in this world than he imagined, if only in the heart, immeasurable things.

Nie Yuxin put down his raised palm, and the whole person seemed to be ten years old, full of decadent atmosphere.

He slowly walked back to his seat and sat down with his eyes closed.

"What did you do to him?" Fuliu asked in front of the monk.

"It's not me who did anything," replied the monk, "it's what he did." I didn't do anything but tell him that what he was doing was wrong. ”

"You!"

"Stop!"

Fuliu couldn't help but was about to make a move, but was stopped by Nie Yuxin, "Fuliu, don't be rude." ”

"Yes!", Fu Liu stared at the monk and retreated to Nie Yuxin's side.

Nie Yuxin shook his head and said, "Okay, monk, what should I do next?" If I guessed correctly, Han Chuang has already met my ancestor. When he mentioned the ancestor, he was still a little unnatural, but he quickly adjusted and said, "The ancestor should help him." ”

"That's right," the monk said, "Although Han Chuang's strength is good, if it is said that it is far from enough to fight against the heart demon, even if he will not be tempted by the heart demon, but the hard power is not the opponent of the heart demon and his men, so the ancestor of the Nie family will definitely help him." ”
