Chapter 12: Breaking the Void
The surroundings lit up, and the small pieces of light in front of him gathered into a mirror, in which Xiao Han's shadow was reflected, and his eyes were full of pain and despair.
"Give up, you are an unrecognized existence in this world. It's better to cut yourself off than to live alive, maybe you can be reborn as an ordinary ordinary person in the next life. ”
Another mirror appeared, and in that mirror he was full of anger and hatred.
"You can't give up! You're obviously not wrong, damn the human beings and the demons who can't tolerate you, and all those who have bullied you and hurt you deserve to die! As long as you get the artifact, you can own the world, and if you have the world, you can trample them all under your feet!"
The two mirrors began to spin, their endless repetition of voices surrounding him, painful memories of the past piercing his heart like needles, almost engulfing what little sanity he had left, and then an ethereal voice rang in his ears.
"You have to make a choice, whether you want to perish yourself or have supreme power, I can fulfill you, as long as you can give me an answer. ”
Why did he have to choose, why did his life always have to be decided by others? If he could, he didn't want to come into this world, he didn't want to be a half-human, half-demon monster and not be accepted, but he didn't have a choice.
Maybe the world used to be gray, and his future life should also be gray, but now everything is different, he has the meaning of life, and he has the people he wants to protect......
Xiao Han slowly stood up, dark blue flames erupted from his body, and those flames were withdrawn from his hand, condensing a sword in his hand.
"I ...... I don't want anything, I just want to go my own way!"
He raised his hand and stepped forward, and smashed the two mirrors with a single sword!
Crash......
The lenses shattered all over the floor, and the infinite darkness around him disappeared in an instant, and the appearance of the temple became clear little by little in his gradually brighter eyes.
"You broke my formation, and I lost for the first time in three hundred years. ”
The Guardian appeared in his form again, but this time he had an extra artifact in his hand.
"The greatest use of this mirror is that you can see people's hearts, and my duty is to guard it, but now that my formation has been broken, according to the rules, this mirror belongs to you. ”
Xiao Han stretched out his hand to take the bronze mirror, and Shangguanran's appearance gradually appeared in the mirror, and she was now his only pursuit in this life. He reached out and stroked the mirror, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily rose slightly.
The Guardian's mission is over, and it's time to leave, but there is an unknown smile in his eyes, and it seems that he has not been reluctant to give up because of the loss of the artifact, but has been waiting for this day to come.
"When you finally break through the falsehood, you may not be able to see the truth!"
The Guardian said his last words, and gradually dissipated into pieces and dissipated in the wind.
There was a loud bang all around, and the sand shook off the top of his head, Xiao Han looked at the more and more cracks in the four walls, and quickly turned around and ran outside the temple. As soon as he stepped out of the temple door, the temple collapsed as if it had lost its pillars, and was reduced to ruins.
It was probably because this temple had lost its divine power, and the outer layer of shield disappeared immediately. Before he could react, the water of this cold pool rushed to his face and pushed him far away, and a biting chill hit him instantly. He swam up until he felt his whole body stiffen, and then he finally burst out of the water and breathed in the fresh air outside.
Xiao Han climbed onto the shore, didn't care about being wet, first took out the bronze mirror from his arms and examined it carefully, and after making sure that the copper mirror was not damaged at all, he wiped the water stains on his face with his hands at will.
He couldn't wait to bring the bronze mirror back, as long as the pavilion master got the artifact, his Ah Ran would be saved. But as soon as he took a step, he noticed that something was wrong, and there were obvious signs of movement in the bushes around him.
"Who?"
Xiao Han questioned, quickly put the bronze mirror into his arms, he pinched the few needles that fell from the cuffs into his hands, and threw them towards the suspicious place, but there was no response.
When he finally sensed that there was an uninvited guest behind him, it was too late, and the shadow behind him hit him the back, and he instantly fainted in front of him.
When he woke up, he found himself lying on the bed in the killing shop, and his first reaction was to touch the mirror in his arms, and sure enough, it was gone. He quickly lifted the quilt and got up, and regardless of his almost unsteady body, he held on to the table and moved to the door step by step.
"You're awake. ”
Outside with the decoction walked in was Zhong Ling, a servant serving the killing workshop, he saw that Xiao Han was about to fall down at any time, quickly put down the decoction, and helped him to sit down at the table.
"Zhong Ling, I can't stay here, I have to hurry up and find the pavilion master, the artifact has been stolen!"
Zhong Ling pressed his body that was about to get up, and said indifferently: "The pavilion master has an order, let you drink this medicine first no matter what you wake up, this medicine has the effect of driving away cold, so you must drink it before you can go to the palace to see her." ”
Xiao Han picked up the hot medicine on the table and drank it clean.
"Alright, let's go!"
Zhong Ling helped him to the main hall, and Xiao Han knelt on the ground as soon as he walked in.
"Pavilion master, it was his subordinates who were not good enough to let the artifact be robbed, and I forgot that the pavilion master could give me the opportunity to make up for it, let me go and get the artifact back!"
"No need, the artifact is already in my hands now, as for the person who snatched the artifact...... Bring it to me!"
As soon as Changrong's voice fell, the two guards outside lifted up the man who had been beaten and threw him on the main hall. Xiao Han stepped forward and took a closer look, wasn't this familiar face Ye Lan, the owner of their Killing Word Workshop?
"Owner...... Master Ye, how could he be the one who snatched my artifact?"
Zhong Ling leaned into Xiao Han's ear and whispered, "It was the Pavilion Master who asked me to bring someone to follow you to protect you secretly, because the Pavilion Master suspected that our Hidden Moon Pavilion was mixed with spies, so just when he was about to attack you, he was caught by us." ”
Ye Lan got up from the ground with all his strength, he looked up at Chang Rong sitting on a high seat, his messy hair couldn't hide his hatred for Chang Rong.
"Since you've already found out, why don't you just kill me with a knife?"
He looked down and smiled bitterly.
"Since you brought Xiao Han back then, I'm afraid that he is already a candidate for my position as the owner of the killing workshop, right? Every time he makes a mistake, you always favor him and defend him, and now you have to take my position away from him. Obviously, I have worked so hard, and I have devoted myself to the Hidden Moon Pavilion for these hundreds of years, and it is clear that all I have over the years is this position!"
Ye Lan suddenly became furious, his eyes were gradually invaded by black, and his body began to exude black aura, and he gathered his strength to break the rope tied to his body.
"He's enchanted!"
Zhong Ling subconsciously pulled Xiao Han in front of him, and seeing that Ye Lan was about to pounce, Changrong suddenly picked up her sword and stepped forward on tiptoe, she pierced Ye Lan's heart with just one sword flying over.
"It's just a little minion who has just fallen into the devil, and he still wants to struggle uselessly in front of me. I naturally know that you have paid so much for the Hidden Moon Pavilion, I originally had other positions for you, but in the end you chose to betray, as long as the person who betrayed me ended up with only a dead end. ”
Changrong turned away, unable to make out her expression.
"You two carry him out and throw me into the mountains to feed the wild dogs. Also, remember to clean up this place, I'm dirty. ”
She raised her feet and was about to leave, but was stopped by Xiao Han.
"Pavilion Master, I got the artifact back for you, my antidote ......"
"Don't worry, the antidote has been prepared and placed in your house. ”
Changrong walked to the top of the attic, raised his hand and picked up the bronze mirror, and a blood-red flower slowly emerged in the mirror.
