Chapter Fifty-Six: The Master is Here
When leaving the barren mountain, the rain did not completely stop, when the white tiger carried the groggy Tao Yao into the air, the fierce north wind blew the residual rain on her face, Tao Yao felt a little indescribably cold.
She grabbed the white tiger's hair, turned around to look at the barren mountain, and sure enough, as she expected, as soon as they left the barren mountain, Li Shubai rushed into the cave with people.
But in the cave, there was nothing but a puddle of demon blood buried in coarse sand.
Most of these people will catch up, obviously, Lu Li also knows very well, so he takes the lead and flies extremely fast. Several people from the Tao family couldn't help but wail after them, and they couldn't help but ask Lu Li to slow down.
But Lu Li not only did not slow down, but also walked faster.
The second brother of the Tao family, who was closest to Lu Li, shouted: "Lu Xianzun, the Tao family is not far away, Lu Xianzun doesn't have to worry, you see Xiao Qi'er's face is pale, I can't stand this speed." β
Tao Yao wanted to say that she was fine.
Lu Li was in such a hurry, not only to get rid of the people who were about to catch up, but also for her. The power in her body is passing by at a rapid pace.
The rain on her face was getting colder and colder, and she felt that her hands would not be able to grasp the white tiger's hair, and she told herself over and over again that the peach family was almost here, and she would hold on a little longer.
However, in the midst of this strong endurance, her control over her body suddenly collapsed.
Tao Yao slipped down.
In the rapid weightlessness, she could see the frightened white tiger swooping towards her, see Lu Li flying in front turn sharply, and see the second brother of the Tao family stretching out his hand to grab her.
But they flew too slowly.
The falling Tao Yao hooked the corners of her lips and let out a silent self-deprecation, it turned out that in the end, she died from a high fall, and she just hoped that when she was smashed into a pulp, she didn't look too ugly.
She closed her eyes because she was too tired.
Suddenly, she was embraced by a pair of gentle arms, and before her consciousness was completely peeled off, she heard a familiar soft call: "Tao Yao." β
"Master ......"
"Well, for the teacher."
She passed out with relief.
When she opened her eyes again, she saw an endless night, so deep that she couldn't see her fingers, as if the whole canopy of heaven had fallen, covering the earth.
In the darkness, a cry sounded, and following the direction of the cry, Tao Yao saw the firelight, a weak, blood-thick firelight.
Then, she saw a kitten skinned alive by something and thrown into a large oil pan. The cat fluttered in the pan and let out a high-pitched scream.
After a few moments, the kitten was silent.
The purgatory-like tragic scene made Tao Yao hug herself in horror, and more cries sounded in her ears, not the cries of a creature, but countless cries mixed together, the elderly, men, women, children, and even various animals.
The mixed cries composed a depressing tragedy that made people despair.
Except for the cry, there is no second sound in the dark world.
Is this hell?
It can only be hell.
It turned out that she really fell to her death, and being hugged by Shizun was just a hallucination before she died.
"Is it scary?"
"Huh?" When she turned around, Tao Yao saw the Phoenix Girl, dressed in blood-colored red, sitting on a decaying sycamore tree. "Phoenix girl, you're dead too?!"
The phoenix girl lazily glared at Taoyao: "The deity has died once, but you are not dead." β
"So I'm not dead yet......" Tao Yao let go of her arms and exhaled heavily.
Since she saw the Phoenix Girl, it means that this is her dream.
Huh? Her dreams?
She has a hell on earth in her dreams?
Tao Yao raised her eyes to look at the Phoenix Girl, today's Phoenix Girl, it is really strange, neither regretting that she almost died but not dying, nor sneering at her stupidity.
The Phoenix Girl was very quiet, her eyes kept falling on the little firelight in the pitch black, and the expression on her face was very complicated, was it hatred? Still painful? Or is it a reminiscence?
Tao Yao tried to analyze the mood of the Phoenix Girl.
"Isn't it scary, little goblin?" The Phoenix Girl repeated her question, and then, she answered her question, "I think it's scary. β
What's going on with this thing?
The Phoenix Girl didn't care about Tao Yao's surprise, she said to herself: "A thousand years ago, the Protoss and the people conspired to slaughter the entire demon world, whether it was a powerful and invincible demon, or a poor little demon who had not yet transformed, as long as it was in the eyes of the gods, they were all killed.
The clear river of the demon clan was dyed blood-colored overnight. Under the Heavenly Dao, countless demon clans knelt down and asked, asking why they were so cruel to the demon clan?
However, the way of heaven was silent. β
As soon as the phoenix girl's words fell, in the thick darkness, a large cluster of firelight suddenly lit up, Tao Yao instinctively looked at the firelight, and in the cluster of suddenly lit fire, there was a little demon that was burned and turned into a human form.
The little demon screamed miserably, and by the light of the fire, Tao Yao saw that there were many more little demons, who opened a pair of miserable white eyes, helplessly and desperately watched the little demon being burned, and pitifully hugged themselves who were trembling.
This is the scene of the demon clan being slaughtered thousands of years ago?
Tao Yao was about to ask, but heard a burst of laughter. She opened her eyes wide to see who was laughing? Then she saw God and men above the clouds.
Dressed in bright clothes, they stood comfortably in the clouds, as if they were watching a good show, watching the demon clan being slaughtered, and then from time to time let out cheerful, proud, haughty, merciless laughter.
"This is the apocalyptic remnant scene of the demon clan being slaughtered a thousand years ago." The Phoenix girl turned her head and her scrutinizing gaze fell on Tao Yao's face, "Tao Yao, if you were them, do you hate it?" β
Tao Yao was stunned, the Phoenix Girl had never called her name, this was the first time.
"Hate." Even if she is not them, she is just a little demon, she has never experienced slaughter, if everything in front of her is true, she can't help hating, because the hatred of the extermination of the clan is not shared.
However, what is in front of you may not be true.
She didn't know what the millennium war had caused.
Whether this cruel scene in front of her really happened, or whether it was tempered by the Phoenix Girl with thousands of years of hatred, she didn't know.
"The deity also hates." After saying that, the Phoenix Girl slowly raised her chin and cast her eyes on the gods and people in the clouds, hatred was wanton in her eyes, "For a thousand years, hatred has been a small worm in the heart of the deity, gnawing at the deity day and night.
The deity told himself over and over again that one day, if there was still a slight possibility, the deity would be shattered and would never recover, and he would also avenge the demon clan. β
Tao Yao didn't say anything.
Tao Yao didn't care about the affairs of the demon clan, even if she was dressed as a sand sculpture, she still regarded herself as a human being, and she would live to old age and death in a human way.
Can......
In the dark, the kitten in the big oil pot was fried, and the slender cat body floated sideways on the oil pot, and a person Xiu fished out the kitten and threw it in front of the still alive and shivering little demon.
"Eat it." Ren Xiu said.
The little goblins gritted their teeth and shook their heads stiffly, tears of horror covering their eyes.
Renxiu drew his sword and threw a little demon who shook his head into the oil pot, and in the crackling sound of the explosion, the shocked little demons opened their mouths tremblingly and began to bite their kind.
And the cultivators laughed even louder.
Tao Yao hesitated again and again, and asked, "Phoenix girl, why do the gods and people want to destroy the demon clan?" β
"The deity doesn't know."
"Huh?"
How ridiculous is it that the victims of a devastating slaughter do not know the reason for the slaughter until they die?
The Phoenix Girl jumped off the dead branch and slowly walked to a position a few meters away from Tao Yao, and then, she looked at Tao Yao directly and asked, "Tao Yao, do you think that if the demon clan has committed heinous crimes, it should be called to the gods and people to be killed?" β
She couldn't deny that she did have such thoughts at the moment when she asked this question.
The Phoenix Girl sneered, and the smile was Chi Guoguo's sarcasm: "What is the heinous sin? Is it that the demon clan has ever killed mortals? Or did the demon clan once kill the immortals?
Or is it because the demon clan has done all kinds of evil and committed ten heinous crimes? Even if the demon clan has such a big demon, should the demon clan be slaughtered? β
"It's not."
In ancient times, there was the sin of joint sitting, but it only harmed the nine clans. If because of a few evil demons or a few disasters, it is too cruel to slaughter a whole clan, or even kill them all.
Even if the crimes committed by the demon clan are monstrous, there will always be an end to repayment, but the immortals and human cultivators have never thought of leaving a glimmer of life for the demon clan.
But the so-called sin, more often than not, is just a matter of opposing positions, racial differences, rather than really a matter of right and wrong. For example, if a god hunts a demon, and a demon kills mortals, it cannot be defined by good or evil.
Within the Three Realms, gods are not born right, and demons are not born wrong.
Even if the demon clan once produced a heinous demon who did all kinds of evil and greatly endangered the evil demon in the world, then he would kill this demon and crush his bones and ashes, so that he could not be reborn forever, but he could not anger the entire demon clan because of this.
The Phoenix Girl nodded: "You're right, you can't do that." But with such a simple truth, except for the demon clan, no one is willing to think like this, and they will think like this. Gods, immortals, people, demons, and ghosts all feel that the demon clan is to blame for being destroyed. β
In the darkness, the slaughter of the demon clan by the gods and humans continued, and the tearing cries of the demon clan gradually turned smaller, and slowly turned into silent sobs. Yu The gods and people standing in the clouds, they glimpsed the despair of the demon clan, and laughed louder and more presumptuous.
"How ridiculous! How ridiculous! How ridiculousβ" The Phoenix Girl scolded angrily, one voice more heart-rending than the other, tears spread all over her face, and she curled up her hands tightly, hating to kill all the gods and people standing in the clouds.
"Phoenix girl, why are you telling me this?"
The Phoenix Girl wiped her tears, waved her sleeves lightly, and the scene of the demon clan being slaughtered disappeared, and in the huge dream, there was only a withered sycamore tree, and the peach and phoenix girl standing at each other under the dead wood.
"Because you saved a ghost."
"What?"
The mockery floated on the face of the Phoenix Girl: "The equality of all beings used to be a under the Heavenly Dao." The Six Races of the Three Realms have never been allowed to establish interracial intimacy.
However, there are always people who ignore taboos, and so there are ghosts.
Ghosts and demons are not ghosts or demons, whether they are in the ghost world or the demon clan, they are the lowest existences. But today, you didn't hesitate to save a ghost. β
Actually, it's not without hesitation......
Moreover, she didn't save the demons for the sake of saving the demons.
The Phoenix girl curled the corners of her mouth and smiled softly at her. Even if the phoenix girl is fierce, Tao Yao has never denied that she is a big beauty, today, the beauty smiles slightly, and its beauty is overwhelming.
"Tao Yao, the deity wants to devour your divine sense, become a big demon again, and then take revenge on the gods and the world with his own hands."
"...... "So, the Phoenix Girl said this to tell her that she wanted to devour Taoyao's divine consciousness for the righteousness of the demon clan, and she should fulfill her knowledge?"
Tao Yao took a half step back.
"But the deity decided to change his mind."
"Huh?"
The smile on the phoenix girl's face deepened: "As long as there is a slight possibility, even if the deity is doomed and broken, the deity will die without regrets."
But the deity knows that he can't become that possibility, otherwise, thousands of years ago, the demon clan would not have been wiped out. Although the deity is not that possibility, maybe you are. β
Tao Yao was so frightened that she took two steps back.
was threatened by the mountain lord to steal the demon pill of the peach family, in order to survive. And no matter how difficult the Tao family is, there is only one family, but the Phoenix girl's request is to ask her to kill the gods and the world with her own strength, is she crazy and can agree to this kind of thing?
"Well, Phoenix Girl, you must be mistaken."
"No, the deity doesn't."
Tao Yao pinched herself secretly, she should wake up, and then talk to the Phoenix Girl, either the Phoenix Girl is crazy, or she is crazy.
"Tao Yao, how about we make a deal?"
Don't listen, don't listen, she doesn't want to hear anything.
"The deity knows that you want to become a powerful demon, but the sand sculpture has limited talents, and no matter how hard you try, you can't become a powerful demon.
But as long as you promise the deity and are willing to give everything for the hatred and revival of the demon race, the deity will melt itself into your blood and let you be reborn. β
Hehe...... There will be pies in the sky, but she can't always meet them.
Besides, for the sake of a mere demon pill, she has to carry the demon clan and the whole world, and even the gods of the Nine Heavens as enemies, is she in the?
She has no intention of underestimating herself, but she must not underestimate herself: "Phoenix girl, you must be mistaken, otherwise, think about it again?" Or will I find a great hero for you who can revive the demon clan? β
"No, it can only be you."
"......" Although she is a time-traveler, she really doesn't want to be a savior.
The Phoenix Maiden frowned, and persuaded with emotion: "Tao Yao, you are also a demon, can't you empathize with the pain of the demon clan?" Look at their despair, do you really have to bear it? β
Actually, she's not a demon......
