Chapter 187: All Things Are Born
The Eight Bitter Trees, which all life in the human world are born with, are now firmly entrenched in the sea of souls like snow, and the brown branches are dotted with scattered turquoise, and the turquoise branches and leaves gently hold up the gray reincarnation stone fragments, as if treating rare treasures.
Immediately after that, between the blue-green leaves, pure white buds slowly grow, and the extreme emotions that breed in the chest cavity turn into nourishment for the buds, and the flowers bloom instantly.
The moment the petals fell into the sea of souls one by one, the petals faded and turned into a shallow name - Su Yi.
That was the source of the burning emotions in her heart.
Because of the name, her heart was beating violently and aching. The blood on her body was different from the cold of the past, it was hot like never before.
Because of this person, she also became a living person.
For the first time, she tasted the taste of her heart being torn apart by countless invisible palms, and the turbulent and unfamiliar emotions were about to overwhelm her.
She couldn't calm down and couldn't think, she only had one thought in her heart, she wanted Su Yi to live!
She wants Su Yi to live, and she is willing to pay any price for this!
Everyone's fine, save him!
She never believed in miracles in the world, but at the moment she was willing to believe that miracles would befall her.
Discord's tempest seemed to laugh at her innocence and absurdity, until in the dark pit, a plain gray stone was washed away by the heavy rain, revealing a pale blue color.
On the Eight Bitter Trees, the fragments of the reincarnation stone wrapped in layers of branches and leaves seemed to be attracted by some kind of attraction and gradually left the sea of souls like snow.
The two fragments slowly approached each other, and the moment they touched, the gentle turquoise aura quickly spread in all directions.
Everywhere the green light went, the wind and rain stopped suddenly, and between breathing, the non-returning forest returned to its original state, the cold pool was still the same, the green trees were still the same, and the warblers were flying and the grass was growing, endlessly.
"Little fox, don't cry." A hoarse voice sounded above Hua Ruxue's head.
Following the familiar and unfamiliar voice, the warm golden sunset came into view.
In the blink of an eye, the rain cleared, the warm sunlight poured down, and the devastated mountain forest became lush and green before you knew it.
The scent of turquoise nourishes this barren land, and everything has grown ever since.
At the same time, it also calmed her manic mood and made her withdraw from the pain of loss.
"Little rock?" Hua Ruxue opened her mouth, her dry throat couldn't make a sound, only tears kept rolling in her eyes.
"yes, it's me."
The moment I got a response, tears poured out again. It's like a lost person in the desert who has encountered an oasis.
"Su Yi, Su Yi......" Hua Ruxue eagerly wanted to tell the reincarnation stone everything that happened, and wanted him to save Su Yi, but before she could speak, the reincarnation stone interrupted her.
"Winter flowers, Ruan Qingcao, spring guests, summer lotuses blooming on the autumn mountains, flames in the depths of the earth, water at the end of the heavenly river, a touch of pure land on the snowy land of Cangshan Mountain."
"If you want to save him, you need to find all these things first."
In just two sentences, it shocked people's hearts, giving her infinite hope and despair at the same time.
"But, on your own, there's no way you're going to get these things." Samsara Stone calmly stated the facts he had seen.
"What did you say?" Hua Ruxue was so shocked that she couldn't believe the words in the mouth of the reincarnation stone, she wiped the tears on her face, and continued: "The monk's body is dead, his soul is scattered, how can he save it?"
"Isn't that what you want?" Samsara Stone asked rhetorically, "People are always like this, both sober and confused."
Hua Ruxue didn't notice the small emotions hidden under the calm appearance of the reincarnation stone, and the reincarnation stone seemed to mind very much that she had become a human.
"Can you save him?" Hua Ruxue quickly wiped her face, revealing a look of longing for affirmation.
"As long as you can find these things."
"Really?" When she said this, she had already believed the words of the reincarnation stone from the bottom of her heart, because the mysterious little stone disdained to lie.
The reincarnation stone let out a soft "um", and he pointed to the one on Hua Ruxue's neck
Shi Shenzi said, "He changed his life against the sky and was destined to suffer this fate. Although the stone was cast a life-saving spell, it could only forcibly retain his broken soul and prevent it from dissipating."
Hua Ruxue took the green stone off her neck and looked at it carefully, this small green stone was given to her by Su Yi, and she didn't know that it was so precious.
It's something he uses to save his life.
Su Yi is always like this, silently guarding her. Again and again, in the most acceptable way she maintained, her cheap self-esteem that she didn't want to be charited and sympathized with, and the care she didn't want to say.
"Little Stone, you helped me again." Without waiting for Hua Ruxue to say thank you, the reincarnation stone said:
"To save him, in addition to what I said, I need your help to find the debris scattered elsewhere."
Speaking of the fragments, Su Zhi's words inexplicably flashed in Hua Ruxue's mind again: Don't believe in that stone too much, if he finds all the fragments and recovers all his strength, the first one to suffer is the demon clan led by you.
Hua Ruxue skimmed off the distracting thoughts in her mind, firmly believing in the stone in front of her, she took a deep breath, and planned to tell the reincarnation stone everything that had happened in these days, including Su Zhi and the ghost clan.
"Su Zhi didn't die, I met Su Zhi. He wanted me to help him seal the remnants of the Primordial Demon, and he said a lot of things to discredit you, but I'm sure you won't hurt me." The flowers are like snow roads, and she only had three points of faith in the words of Su Zhi, a villain, before, and after this experience, the only trust she had was also wiped out.
That bit of trust comes from Su Zhi's maintenance of Su Yi as Su Zhi of Qingyang Mountain.
At that time, the young man who never left the young master and his eyes were full of admiration and pride was just a bubble that could be broken at the first poke after all.
Su Zhi didn't take it seriously, Su Yi didn't take it seriously, only she, a bystander, took it seriously, and firmly believed that Su Zhi would not hurt Su Yi no matter what.
However, the fact is that Su Zhi is a complete hypocrite and a villain who will do anything to achieve his goals.
"Don't worry, I'll help you find all the pieces! Turn you into a whole stone!" Hua Ruxue raised her fingers and assured.
But this sincere assurance obviously failed to make the reincarnation stone happy.
Hearing this, the reincarnation stone sighed silently, he knew everything that happened to Hua Ruxue, and he could even see those sealed memories.
But he couldn't say it because, as Su Zhi said, he made her stronger for a purpose. He wanted to use the power of the law to erase her and get everything back on track.
However, is the trajectory he identified necessarily correct?
Thinking of this, the reincarnation stone once again cautiously asked Hua Ruxue, "Do you want to be a human or a demon?"
He thought that if her answer was another answer this time, then maybe he didn't need to erase her anymore.
The reincarnation stone looked at Hua Ruxue, who had turned into a human form, and a trace of expectation rose faintly in her heart, expecting that her answer would be different.
Do you want to be a human or a demon?
Hearing this question, Hua Ruxue was stunned for a moment, and Su Zhi's sharp and piercing voice mixed with ridicule sounded in her mind, "Become a human, then you will lose all the power you have now, and become a caged bird, your fate is determined by heaven, and there is no choice. But if you are a demon, no one in this world can take your life, and your life is up to you."
"If he asks if you want to be a human or a demon? What is your answer?"
At that time, what was her answer?
Hua Ruxue looked down at her slender wrists and knees kneeling on the soft grass, and then her eyes fell on the dew between the blades of grass.
The dew reflected her long waterfall-like black hair and fair skin, and the black strands of hair slightly covered her newly grown ears, which were human-like ears.
In Xueji Pavilion, she often wondered, if she was human, would she be able to taste her favorite candy unscrupulously?
When she was in the Hundred Beast Forest, she would have delusional thoughts that if she were human, maybe she would not be abandoned.
When Jiu Gushan rescued Ning Changming and a few people, she also fantasized that if she was really a human being, she would be able to enjoy the kindness of strangers with such peace of mind
meaning and praise.
If she were human, would her fate have changed?
She pretended to be an adult for so long that she almost thought of herself as a human being.
But a fox is a fox.
"I'm a fox." Hua Ruxue replied, just like her answer to Su Zhi, unswerving.
She is a fox, the favorite little fox of the red fox and the black rabbit, and the little fox that Su Yi sacrificed his life to protect.
This is a fact that will never change.
Hearing this answer, the reincarnation stone trembled slightly, as if he was regretting something.
After a long time, the reincarnation stone looked into the distance and said loudly, "Someone is coming, go and say goodbye."
The words fell, and the reincarnation stone returned to the sea of Hua Ruxue's soul, and Hua Ruxue had a small silver mask out of thin air in her hand.
Hua Ruxue got up and followed the sound of squirming and looked into the distance, and saw a woman in a long white dress, embroidered with purple irises on the hem, and her face was as pale as paper.
That's Ning Shuyan!
Hua Ruxue's palms tightened, Ning Shuyan's soul body had just stabilized, and she needed to recuperate.
She was about to step forward, but she saw Ning Shuyan walking straight towards her with strange eyes, pointing to the mask in her hand and asking excitedly, "Girl, where did you find this?"
"Did the girl see the child wearing this mask? That kid is quirky and cute, and if you've seen it, you'll never forget it!" Ning Shuyan pointed to the mask, as if a person walking in the dark suddenly saw a light.
"I ......" Hua Ruxue moved her lips, she wanted to tell Ning Shuyan that she was the owner of the mask, but she had already put Sister Ning in danger once, and let Su Yi ......
She didn't want to lose anything more.
Approaching her will only become unfortunate.
"Ning...... Miss, take a closer look at this mask?" Hua Ruxue hid the emotions surging in her eyes, and handed the mask in her hand to Ning Shuyan.
Ning Shuyan is the second person she cares about, and she only hopes that Ning Shuyan can be safe and well.
Ning Shuyan took the mask and looked at it carefully, nodded heavily, and said, "It's Xiaoxue's mask, girl, think about it, have you seen her?" And her brother?"
Facing Ning Shuyan's expectant gaze, Hua Ruxue silently turned her face away.
"They are very important to me, and if the girl knows where they have gone, I hope to let them know!"
The sentence "extremely important" instantly broke Hua Ruxue's fragile defense, she really wanted to recognize Ning Shuyan, and told Ning Shuyan that she would definitely bring Su Yi back alive.
But she couldn't.
Hua Ruxue lowered her head slightly, and stretched out her hand to point to the location of Guanyun City.
Ning Shuyan looked back, she didn't doubt him, and thanked her, "Thank you girl for telling me, maybe I came too quickly and missed it with them." My name is Ning Shuyan, and when I find them, I will come and thank the girl!"
Before the words fell, Ning Shuyan turned around and ran towards Guanyun City with joy.
Hua Ruxue looked at the emaciated figure and said silently: This past year, Sister Ning should not read it.
