Volume 1 Qingyang Mountain Chapter 37 Chapter 8
The white snake hated the monks, and the demon beasts in the forest hated the monks.
Hates their hypocrisy, while saying that the good demon friends and the evil demon get rid of them, and on the other hand, he can't help but take away those young beasts.
Many monsters have never been able to find their children in their lifetimes, and for them, it is better to be reunited than to be gone, because reunion is death.
"Born a demon, I will kill all the people in the world!"
The hatred that could not be dissipated melted into the blood of the silver snake, and finally turned into his third eye, which was born closest to his heart.
Leaving the last of White Snake's consciousness behind was the only thing he could do, and whenever he opened that eye, the White Snake's voice would sound in his head, as if they had never left.
One day in early April, Su Huaiqian brought another cage, and in the cage was an elderly snake.
The old snake's eyes were sometimes cloudy, sometimes clear, and he would always babble words that the silver snake could not understand, and occasionally there would be a trace of compassion in those vicissitudes of life.
"Don't be blinded by hate," she said. ”
She said: "It's fate, good or bad, we don't count." ”
Then, with compassion, she calmly melted into the bone-chilling water, and became his seventh eye.
He would always fall asleep for a long time in a day, because so much consciousness was gathered in this body, and the first blue eyes gradually turned yellow, and sometimes scarlet and terrifying.
He couldn't tell who he was, sometimes hateful, sometimes ignorant, sometimes calm, sometimes crazy. How long will it be before such a day passes, and how many more will his people die?
He didn't know.
He had been in this dark gabion for too long, and he had long forgotten his expectations, and that he was originally a sinister, cunning, vicious and cold-blooded snake.
He could not care about the pain that was inflicted on him, but the familiar voices that rang in his head from time to time, the death that he could not prevent with all his might, taught him how to forget!
On this day at the end of April, when the silver snake was curled up in the corner and trembling in pain, Su Huaiqian walked in with the seventh cage.
In the past, he was afraid that Su Huaiqian would bring those bitter pills that would make him feel painful, but now what scared him the most was the cage.
He had rather the cage had never appeared.
But no matter how much he resisted, the black cloth was lifted, and the cage contained the seventh snake.
It was a silver snake that was just three years old, and she yawned lazily, looked around curiously, and cast adoring glances at him, just like the little snake had been.
In a trance, he even thought that everything was back to the beginning, back to the time when the nightmare had not yet begun.
"Brother, you have a lot of eyes! That's amazing! She said with an innocent look in her eyes and an excited tone.
It was this sentence that forcibly pulled the silver snake back to reality.
He was already a ruthless snake demon of his kind, and every eye in his belly was the most powerful proof of this.
There's no going back. There's no way back!
The silver snake glared at her viciously, and said in disgust, "Go away!" ”
The three-year-old snake, with its pupils moving slightly, lowered its head and said, "I am not talented enough, and I should have been thrown into the Hundred Beast Forest, but he said that I could help you become stronger, and asked me if I would like to help you, so I came." ”
"Don't be angry, although I am weak, I will definitely work hard, and I will definitely be able to help you!"
Hearing such an answer, the silver snake's pale yellow eyes glowed with a faint blood, and his mind was in chaos.
"You see this is a person, who is used to rhetoric, and calls her to die, and she is all happy!"
"Do you want to save her? What can be done to save her? ”
"The talent of seventy-six lamps, isn't enough? We have to pay for his greed! ”
"Kill him, you have to kill him!"
The three-year-old snake raised its head, showed a well-behaved and sensible smile, and shouted crisply: "Brother! ”
The silver snake yelled at her, "Get out! ”
He wanted her to leave, far away. But seeing her lost eyes, he regretted it again, she was obviously not at fault, but he was angry with her because of his own incompetence.
"Brother...... Am I doing something wrong? Don't be angry, there were no other snake demons when I was in Xueji Pavilion, no one dared to approach me, I was so happy to see my brother, I'm sorry. ”
That's right, Xueji Pavilion, she is a snake demon who grew up in Xueji Pavilion. He used to grow up there, how could he not know? She must have spent those three years alone, just like herself.
At that time, what was he looking forward to the most?
A bowl of morning dew and a greeting.
Later, he hoped that he would be so gifted that he would become the most powerful snake demon so that the monsters who had looked down on him and vowed to stay away from him would never be able to climb high.
Later, his hopes came true. If someone had told him what was going to happen in the cage, he wouldn't have had that kind of anticipation!
The silver snake came back to his senses and said slowly to her, word by word: "These eyes are all the same clan I have killed. ”
His voice was cold without the slightest emotion, and seeing the little girl's frightened eyes, he continued: "They asked you to help me, just to make you my eighth eye. ”
It couldn't be clearer that if he kills a snake, an eye will be born on it, and she will be killed by him.
But the little girl not only didn't get scared anymore, but asked happily: "Is this the case, it will make you stronger?" ”
"I want to be my brother's eighth eye!"
The little girl's blue eyes are like the grass all over the mountains in spring, which is a symbol of freedom and endless life.
But what did she say! What did she think? What would she like?
The silver serpent could barely believe his ears, this snake was willing to be his eighth eye, willing to be killed by him!
"Why!" He almost roared at it.
Is it bad to be alive?
"A weak and useless snake demon like me, you can't live without protection, my brother is so powerful, if he can become more powerful, he can protect more snake demons!"
"I'm willing to help my brother become greater! It's an honor to be my brother's eighth eye! ”
Honoured......
At this moment, all the unwillingness, anger, and hatred in his heart could no longer be suppressed, and Su Huaiqian told her something!
That's not an honor, that's the greatest sorrow of the snake clan!
Those eyes, each one of them showed his weakness and powerlessness, which were the silent testimonies of their abandonment by fate and the oppression and trampling of the monks!
The red light on the silver snake's body flashed, and at the same time, the surrounding scene quickly faded, and the soul sea returned to calm, still the original blue glowing golden light.
Hua Ruxue stood in the sea of souls at a loss, she got up and looked out the window, from here she could clearly see the bridge she passed by, and Su Zhi was still guarding the bridge at this moment.
There was silence all around, without the desperate roar of the silver serpent, and the quiet wind of the night was not as suffocating as in a dream.
Eventually, the silver serpents left the stone chamber, and the cage that trapped them was gone, but it seemed to be everywhere.
Before entering the dream realm of Dream Weaving Lantern, she had many ideas about how to improve the silver snake's talent.
When she saw Su Huaiqian standing in front of the silver snake with the cage and killing those snake demons in front of the silver snake, she was still shocked in her heart, and she couldn't calm down for a long time.
I think of the eight emotions in the eight eyes of the silver snake, pity, love, joy, anticipation, sadness, despair, resentment, and numbness. It turns out that each one was once a living snake demon. The silver snake's own emotion should be hate.
What she remembers most is the three-year-old snake.
If the silver snake is replaced by a red fox, she is the three-year-old snake, and there is no doubt that she is the same, willing to help the red fox become stronger.
Sacrificing the minority to keep the majority alive is the way for the monster herd to survive for a long time. As a weak demon, it is her honor to help Red Fox become stronger.
But the silver snake was not willing, he said, it was not an honor, it was a sorrow.
If Red Fox was still around, would he be willing?
What if she's the silver snake and the red fox is the three-year-old snake?
Would she be willing? She didn't know.
"Little fox." The reincarnation stone called out to her.
Hua Ruxue returned to the sea of souls, and after learning the reason for the improvement of the silver snake's talent, she was not afraid of him.
The silver snake had no way to hurt Su Huaiqian, so things weren't what she imagined at all. He couldn't kill Su Huaiqian, let alone blame her for Su Huaiqian's death.
It's just that now, she is unspeakably uncomfortable in her heart, "Little stone, silver snake...... I misunderstood him. ”
"You're right, the silver snake has no ill will towards me. He thought I hated Su Huaiqian and wanted me to help him kill Su Huaiqian. ”
Maybe Silver Snake did have a grudge against her, because Su Huaiqian forcibly promoted his talent to make up for her mistake.
The talent of seventy-six lamps is indeed good, but it is not enough, he wants to continue to stay in Qingyang Mountain, based on this, he must find a demon beast with extraordinary talent.
The reincarnation stone came to her and asked, "Do you want to kill Su Huaiqian?" ”
His voice was as usual, without the slightest fluctuation, but Hua Ruxue inexplicably felt that as long as she nodded, Su Huaiqian would disappear immediately.
She believed that the Reincarnation Stone could make a person disappear silently, even if this was Qingyang Mountain, even if the person to be killed was an out-of-body monk.
"But I don't hate Su Huaiqian."
Although Su Huaiqian did step on her and threw her into the Hundred Beast Forest, and had taken care of her for a long time with false affection, these were nothing.
In comparison, it was Su Li who killed the red fox, and she should hate Su Li if she wanted to. For some reason, she couldn't even hate Su Li.
"People have seven emotions and six desires, and they will taste five poisons and eight sufferings when they enter the world. You don't have to suffer from these five poisons and eight sufferings. ”
"Why not?"
Reincarnation didn't answer her, but she probably understood that as a demon beast, she didn't even have the talent of a demon beast, so where did the seven emotions of a person come from?
However, this is not something that should be considered at the moment, hypocrisy is like Su Huaiqian, who is kind and kind on the surface, but behind his back, he tortures the silver snake into this appearance.
Does Su Yi know about this?
Su Yi said that the good demon friend and the evil demon are eliminated, which is the family rule of the Qingyang Su family.
Su Huaiqian forced the silver snake to devour his clan and forcibly improve his talent, which violated family rules.
"Little stone, is Su Yi credible? Even if he was credible, he couldn't tell him what he saw in the Dream Weaving Lamp. Hua Ruxue quickly dispelled the idea of telling Su Yi about Su Huaiqian and the silver snake.
If she said it, it would be equivalent to telling Su Yi that she had a treasure on her body, which could prompt the Dream Weaving Lantern to enter the dream realm of the monk in the out-of-body period.
If not, what is the pain that the silver serpent endured?
She had to think of a way to get others to notice Su Huaiqian's abnormality, and it was best to find out the specific location of the stone room.
No, no, Su Huaiqian has been in Changxia Valley for a few years, and it is impossible not to doubt Su Yi's caution, what if this matter is tacitly approved by them? So even if everyone knew about it, it didn't make any sense.
What to do?
Just when she was very entangled, the reincarnation stone reminded: "Don't forget to go and get the lamp early tomorrow morning." ”
Oh yes, taking the lamp is the most important thing, get the lamp back first.
