I almost lost my way in the vast darkness, and wherever I went, it looked the same as in the distance under my feet.

The back is still faintly painful because of the heavy fall just now, plus the internal injuries I suffered in the Thousand Fox Obstacle before, every time I walk on a section, I feel stuffy in my chest, but this darkness does not know where to extend, time passes, I only feel that I have walked for a long, long time, and when I look up, it is still hazy.

Who are the people living in the tribe in the mouth of the mirror spirit? Those who can live at the bottom of this abyss of thought must be extraordinary, right? Could it be that they are trapped here like the nine-tailed fox clan?

Just as he was thinking, some blurry images appeared in the darkness ahead. As we walked further, the image became clearer and clearer, gradually condensing into rows of tent-like earthen houses of the same shape and height, and the roofs were made of grass at the bottom of the Abyss, which made each house glow with a faint light, illuminating the upper part of the house, while the lower half seemed to be hidden in the darkness. The houses have no character, no difference in the surface, not even the windows. At the bottom of the abyss, windows are really useless.

When I walked to the house and turned to look, there was still an endless expanse behind me, and I couldn't tell where I had come from. Perhaps, this place was originally not far from the mirror, but I have been going around in circles in this sea of grass.

I circled around a few nearby houses, and more confusion came to my mind: not only did these round houses have no windows, but they didn't even have doors! There weren't many of them, and there were only a dozen of them, but I went back and forth a few times, and I didn't see a single figure, not even the smell of people, as if they had long been abandoned. Isn't this the tribe that the mirror spirit is talking about?

Just when a series of questions in my heart could not be solved, a sudden noise startled me, followed by a sudden shaking, I only felt my feet slip, as if the ground suddenly collapsed, I instinctively retreated, but because there was no spiritual power, I retreated far less quickly than the speed of the ground sinking. At first glance, there was a huge pit in the middle of the four gardens, and I was at the edge of the pit, and when I retreated, it was already attached to the wall of the house. But before it was too late to change direction, a sense of falling hit, the pit seemed to have a suction, which could suck everything within its range and sink, but I could only helplessly fall with the sinking of the ground, and the strange thing is that although the sinking speed of this pit is not slow, but I can barely stand firm, it seems that I can always be completely weightless at the moment, and there is a force to support the soles of my feet, so that people still have the feeling of clinging to the ground.

The huge pit continued to sink, and after a while, I could no longer see the walls of the house on the ground, and all that was left around was the black rock wall, only the yellow grass under my feet shone faintly.

Suddenly, the sinking sensation slowly waned, and some suffocating silence and darkness surrounded me, but soon, a beam of light gradually came through from under the rock wall, and became more and more obvious, and then, a hole appeared at the bottom of the rock wall, which also looked like a door. When the sinking feeling disappeared completely, a stone door that had obviously been carved by hand was already in front of me, and the yellow light outside the door rushed in, trying to squeeze the darkness out of the cave.

Immediately afterward, the light inside the door was mostly obscured by a figure. Since entering the bottom of the abyss, there seems to be no normal light, so that I have gradually adapted to this dim world and seen the faces of people clearly.

Speaking of which, I've seen a lot of demons, and I'm not surprised by all kinds of strange images, but the person in front of me really makes me feel weird. Judging from the breath, he is clearly mortal, but he has a strange face. The collapsed forehead lined the pair of violent eyes with extremely deformed, and the square cheeks were even more angular than the Kunlun Mirror Spirit, and the huge nose was sandwiched by two protruding eyes, which were also square and weird shapes. But that mouth...... If it can still be called a mouth, it is really very incommensurate with the rest of the face, it is clearly just a small hole under the nose, and there are no lips. In short, this face, no matter how you look at it, is very uncomfortable, as if it was forcibly kneaded together. However, this man's physique is very burly, the stone gate on the rock wall is not small, but the man is almost full, and his naked upper body is also angular and muscular, and his legs are strong, but surprisingly short. I also vaguely guessed that this was the remnant of the goddess that the mirror spirit said.

"Who? Why, what?"

I was taken aback by the man's sudden opening of his mouth, and it turned out that the "hole" could also make sounds. It's just that his speech is too stiff and rigid, and his appearance is also very wooden, like a nail being driven down.

I guess he must have asked me who I am, and why I am here? I can't help but wonder if the remnants of the goddess have lost the ability to speak normally.

"It was the Kunlun Mirror Mirror Spirit who asked me to come here. I don't know if he can understand it, but when he heard the Kunlun Mirror, the expression on his face changed, and he was originally stiff and serious, but at this moment he showed incomparable reverence from his eyes.

Before he came back to his senses, the Kunlun Mirror I was carrying suddenly emitted a burst of light, and then, the previous Tsing Yi Mirror Spirit appeared between me and the man.

The man immediately raised his arms, knelt down with a puff, and bowed nine times in succession with great reverence, but when he had finished praying, his head was still buried on the ground, and he made a deep sound of "woo woo woo", as if he was reading something.

"Please take us to the patriarch. ”

The mirror spirit didn't put on a lofty posture, but the man was still respectful to the point of being a little afraid. He got up from the ground, still with his head down, not daring to look at the mirror spirit, but turned and walked to the other side of the door. The Mirror turned his head and motioned for me to follow, and I took a step forward, following the man and the Mirror Spirit.

When you enter this stone gate, or say that you go out of the cave, there is another world in front of you.

At our feet was an irregular stone bridge, flanked by a calm lake, with piers of stones embedded in the water, and looking ahead, the bridge connected straight to the opposite land, without bending in the middle. Along the outside of the cave we just came out, there is also a circle of stone roads that can be walked, connected to the bridge. The perimeter of the cave is a regular circle, and as you look along the stone path, it seems that there are similar stone bridges on the other two sides. In the middle of every two stone bridges, there is a path connected to a thick column, which is directly inserted into the sky, and is also made of countless regular stones, and at the lower end of the pillar, there is a door-like opening, hung with a black cloth curtain. Could it be the bottom of the house I saw before?

The lake on both sides of the stone bridge is black, just like the entrance to the Lingzhi Forbidden Domain, but the lake doesn't seem to be able to see the edge at all, and there is no ripple, so quiet that people almost mistakenly think that it is just too smooth ground, but if you look closely, you can see that there are vaguely fish-like shadows in the water Creatures are swimming, but even so, there is still no ripple, and I don't know how the "fish" swims.

The sky above is just as terrifying. It turned out that the yellow grass that I had stepped on under my feet turned over, and it turned out to be the sky of this world. The distance between the sky and the ground was very close, but it seemed to be very vast when viewed, and the light, too, came from this side, although it was also just as faint and dim, but it was obviously brighter than the other side. So, in this peculiar world, the sky is pale yellow, there are no clouds, there is no sun and moon, the ground is gray, there are no plants, there are no bumps, and the lake is black, there is no flow, there are no ripples.

This place was like a huge box-like cave, and I just felt very depressed as I walked forward.

Walking across the stone bridge we were directly across, we boarded a slightly wider "land", the same regular pieces of stone patchwork ground, and if you look closely, there is still the black lake in the cracks between the stones, and the whole land seems to be built on the water. In front of us were columns identical to the previous ones, and under each pillar there were openings with black curtains. I guess this pillar is the house where these people live. They are arranged in an orderly manner, and although there are not many, they can subtly obscure the view of the person, and when standing in front of one of them, it is impossible to count how many pillars there are.

The mirror spirit and I followed the strange man around a few pillars, eventually stopping at an opening. Seeing that this opening was no different from other places, I immediately felt the fluctuation of spiritual power coming from it. Patriarch, it should be inside.

Along the way, the strange man kept his head down and was silent, stopped at this moment, bent down and turned respectfully, still not daring to raise his eyes, but bowed deeply to the mirror spirit, looked at me with a blank look, and left the way he came. I turned my head to watch him leave, his clumsy figure and the dull columns around him, suddenly less abrupt and strange than before.

Before the mirror spirit could speak, the curtain hanging at the opening of the cylinder suddenly opened, and then, out of the dim hole, two people came out, very similar to the person just now, but they could identify the person just now as a man and these two were women from their body shape and clothing. When they came out, they stood on either side of the opening, one on the left and one on the right, and then out of the cave came another person, who was also similar to them, but wrapped in a heavy linen robe, and held a stone scepter in his hand, and the top of the staff was inlaid with a yellow bead the size of a goose egg, and the bead shimmered faintly, flickering and dimming, and I felt that the spiritual power came from here.

Come to think of it, this is the patriarch of the goddess's relict clan.

When the patriarch saw the mirror spirit, he also saluted respectfully, and then looked at me again, and there seemed to be two more wrinkles on his already sunken forehead. Her eyes were not as blank as the others, but a little worried and confused. Naturally, her worries and doubts came from me.

"With my strength, I can't maintain the barrier for a long time, and the fate of you and other clansmen depends only on this woman. ”

Jing Ling's words to the patriarch surprised me and the patriarch at the same time, only to feel that the patriarch's eyes looking at me were even more complicated.

"What do you mean by that?" I couldn't help but ask.

The mirror spirit slowly turned to face me.

"To bring you here is to let you fulfill a mission that only you can accomplish, or to let you know your destiny. ”

My destiny ...... What is my fate?? Sure enough, I seem to be more than me, from all the things I have experienced, and all the things I have been involved in for no reason, after all, I am controlled by the fate that plays with the world. I remember once killing a demon who warned me when he was dying. He said that in the Six Realms, except for the human world, the ghost world, up to the gods and demons, down to the immortals and demons, it is impossible to live for themselves, even if they live for a long time, even if they have strong spiritual power, but they can never escape the manipulation of fate, everyone is burdened with their own mission, light or heavy, that is, life and death, have already been arranged, and their fate has been engraved on the wordless book of the god realm early on, no one can spy on it, and no one can change it. He said that one day, I will also lament the arrogance of fate for a mission that I am unwilling to undertake, and I will experience the torture of my soul for a long time afterward. Then, he dissipated in a frustrated, mocking, grotesque shrill laugh, leaving me with a long aftertaste.

After a moment of distraction, his thoughts were out of the confines of time and space, until he was called back by the voice of the patriarch. It's just that the voice is too stiff, although it is not like the person just now, it is still like a child who has just learned to speak, intermittently, and every word is said like a nail into a wooden plank, which makes people very unhappy to hear.

"She, really, can, take me, clan. People leave, open here?"

It turned out that the patriarch of the goddess remnant clan was also the same as the patriarch of the nine-tailed fox clan, wanting to take the clan out of this isolated and desperate world. But what was her reason? Could it be because of the looming demonic energy? But I didn't find it here.

"This woman is not a creature of the Six Realms, but she has the breath of a creature of the Six Realms, and she has the blood of a god in her body, only she can take your people out of here and into the human realm. ”

Before I could come back to my senses, the words of the mirror spirit were like a thunderbolt, interrupting all my thoughts.

"What is not a creature of the Six Realms? What is the breath of a creature of the Six Realms?" I felt my heart beat faster, too many questions came to my mind, but I couldn't explain the specific questions, all kinds of information flashed by, but finally condensed into one word: demon. Demon ......

Am I not a demon? How can a demon have the qi of a living being in the Six Realms? How can I not be a living being of the Six Realms?

The mirror finally noticed my gaffe, and she turned to me, looking at me with her all-perceptive eyes, and she must have thought she should explain it to me.

"You're not a demon. In the end, she just said these words categorically.

It's another slap in the face. Cangli, return to the dust, such as fate, and ...... Fragmented words were brought together and swirled in my head.

"And what am I?" I was no longer agitated when I said this, as if I had known the outcome and was just waiting for her to say it.

"In ancient times, the great god Nuwa passed down the spell and could create people from things, but today's mortals are made by Nuwa by molding them with clay. You were also made by a god. Just because this god didn't know the true essence of Nuwa's creation of human beings, he could only use his power to create you with the help of crane eggs, divine power, human body, demonic energy, and ghosts, and the power of demons to create you, so you have both the breath of the creatures of the Six Realms and the different spiritual powers of the creatures of the Six Realms, but you are no longer one of the creatures of the Six Realms. ”

My heart sank suddenly, even though I had guessed my relationship with my mother and doubted my identity, I never thought of such an outcome. Is this the so-called non-Six Realms creature, but it also has the qi of the Six Realms? I also understood for a moment why I was caught up in one entanglement after another for no reason, and why I encountered so many doubts. If it is said that the wordless book of heaven can decide the fate of gods, demons, fairies and demons, then my fate is not even as good as that of demons. Because my fate may have been decided by the gods who created me. So, is the god who created me my mother? Just, what is the purpose of her creation of me? If she is really a god, then why did she take me to the territory of the demon to raise me, and make up the life story of me as a demon? Or, my mother is not the god who created me, but just picked me up by chance? So, since that god created me, why did she abandon me? Or did he plan my fate in the first place? How many predetermined encounters were there, and where would I be led? Could it be that my every move was actually controlled by others? What about the love and hate cause and effect that I experienced? Is it also predestined?

I tried to close my eyes and try to calm my mind and adjust my breathing, but in the end it was a mess.

"Who made me then?" I almost couldn't control the bottom of my heart when I asked this.

Jing Ling shook his head indifferently and sighed: "The matter related to your life involves the secrets of the divine realm that cannot be revealed, and I can't tell you all the reasons for it, but sooner or later you will know." Now, you can only use the power of the goddess's remnant to reshape the jade hairpin, and in exchange, you need to help her people get rid of this endless claustrophobic pain and return to the world. ”

"Reshape the jasper hairpin? Can they really reshape the jasper hairpin?"

I found a little relief, at least, the poison in my body can be cured, at least, this trip is not in vain. But suddenly I remembered something.

"This jasper hairpin was originally made by the god Shennong after finding a piece of jade from the Queen Mother of Kunlun West, and guiding the relics of the goddess, he left a trace of divine power in the inheritance of the patriarch of the remnant of the spiritual beads, and the source of the divine power of the jasper hairpin is also from this trace of divine power. But because it has consumed most of the divine power to make the jasper hairpin in the first place, this time, even if the jasper hairpin is reshaped, its power will be greatly reduced, but it is still more than enough for you to detoxify. ”

"What about Ruyuan? is the fox demon who fell with me, and she is also here?" I asked the patriarch instead.

Even if I feel a lot of emotion in my heart, what can I do? Since I can get rid of the poison in my body, then maybe I will have time to find out more about the truth. For example, if fate said that my mother is not dead, is she related to the god who created me? Does she know my life experience? Another example is the entanglement between me and Meng Yunzhong in my previous life, is there still an unfinished fate between us? Will we also miss each other in this life?

So, I can only pay all my attention to the current things now, since my fate has been designed a long time ago, I can't change it, and I can only go down that trajectory first, at the very least, there is a truth waiting for me.

"Fox demon, there is, we, want, it, things. The patriarch said intermittently.

"You come with me. The mirror spirit said to me suddenly, and then motioned to the patriarch to lead the way.

The patriarch nodded, and walked in the direction we had just come, followed by her two maids, and the mirror spirit motioned for me to follow.

We crossed the stone bridge again, and when we arrived at the cave where I came down, we went around to the stone bridge on the left, and I saw that behind the stone bridge we had just passed, there was also a stone bridge, which was also connected to the same stone road as before, and the columns were plunged straight into the low "sky", and the more I looked at it, the more depressing it became.

On the other side of the stone bridge in front of us, we couldn't see the pillars of the sky, and the land made of stones seemed to be endless, and it was more like the air was like a fog, and we couldn't see what was ahead. Until we crossed the stone bridge and walked on the stones, we could still only see the scene in front of us about a zhang, and when we looked around left and right, the line of sight was only infinitely extended, and we could not see the end.

We continue to walk forward, as if walking towards a vast unknown world, every time we walk into the fog, only to find that there is nothing at all, and turn our heads, but we can clearly see the way we came, it is too strange.

I don't know how long I walked, my vision gradually became clearer, and I suddenly found that a stone wall appeared in my line of sight, and the further I went, the clearer the stone wall became, but I still couldn't see the edge of the stone wall. It wasn't until the stone wall was less than a foot away from us that I realized that it was so big that it seemed to be as boundless as the land. I looked down at the black lake between the stones, and it seemed to have flowing dark lines.

And on the stone wall in front of us, a stone door gradually appeared, and the door was carved with reliefs, and many vine-like plants surrounded a young girl, who held an object in her hand, like a hairpin, and beyond the vine, a black dragon was coiled. The black dragon's eyes were sharp and vicious, even if they were reliefs, they made people stand on top of their hairs and were afraid. The top of the dragon's head, in the middle of the door, seemed to have a circular depression, like the sun, but it was a little irregular. Thinking about it, the relief should be a record of the past when the goddess of Wushan subdued the evil dragon.

I immediately understood what this place was. This is the real tomb of the goddess of Wushan.
