Chapter 90: Inside the Hairpin

In the end, although we did not hand over the jasper hairpin to the diviner, there was still no progress. Ruyu and Ruyuan both left with the diviner, but the original team remained in this small courtyard, helpless.

"Why are they so unreasonable? If it doesn't work, let's just kill him, capture the diviner, and force him to say the antidote. ”

"If that's the case, we don't have to hold back just now. Each has its own position, and perhaps the diviner is doing it for his people, but we don't have time to waste. ”

"Although the emperor did not give me a deadline, after all, the sooner I leave, the better. It's just that I have a question......"

"Do you want to know what the connection between me and Ruyu is? Before leaving, didn't your emperor tell you anything else?"

"Not yet. ”

After listening to Ah Nian's words, I thought about it, thinking that the Demon Emperor had some selfish intentions no matter what. Or, he didn't know that Cang Li's demonic qi was poisonous, and he might have always thought that I had included that monster in Cangli's sword. I thought about it carefully, he told me last time to let me use the sword of Cangli to collect and pay for the monster, could it be that he also knew about Guichen and Hidden Wind, and knew about Cangli's resurrection? In fact, it is not unusual, after all, there are many entanglements between the Demon Emperor, Cangli and Aoki Zhuo, and since Aoki gave birth to a child for the Demon Emperor, it is not impossible for her secret to be told to the Demon Emperor. However, why didn't the Demon Emperor directly help Cang Li resurrect? With his strength, it would only be a matter of effort to capture that monster.

Again, there is a lot of speculation and doubt. But then there is the struggle to figure out how to solve the current dilemma.

"Right now, we don't know how to leave the Qingqiu Illusion, and if we directly confront the diviner, it seems to be bad for us if the foundation of the illusion is affected. If the illusion is destroyed, it will inevitably attract the attention of the divine realm, and I am afraid that it will really not end well. ”

"Then we can't wait like this, right? I want to go back to find the beast brother......" The flower bird looked aggrieved.

"Of course you can't wait. However, it is really difficult to convince the diviners. Ah Nian, since the diviner has talked about the method of cultivating demonic qi, do you have any way to help him solve the problem?"

"You actually want to help him resolve the shortcomings of the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan's cultivation of demonic qi?"

I was confused, but I still couldn't hide that I really wanted to do it. Even when I was in the Lingzhi Forbidden Domain, the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan treated me like that, but for some reason, I still had the urge to help them again.

So, I nodded and looked at him with a glimmer of hope.

Ah Nian didn't seem to resist too much, just exhaled deeply with his nose, and then said, "Actually, there should be a way." ”

My eyes snapped together, and I waited quietly for him to continue.

"When my ancestor Chiyou first opened up the enchantment and entered the Demon Domain, the Demon Domain was filled with a very strong demonic aura. At that time, there were also many Jiuli people who were eroded by demonic qi and gradually lost their seven emotions and six desires, but they still obeyed Chiyou's orders. Perhaps because the Chiyou clan has the blood of the god clan, although Chiyou and his descendants are affected by demonic energy, but fortunately, they are not as lost in nature as the nine-tailed fox clan, but because of this, their lifespan has been shortened, and all of Chiyou's sons have died early, and even Chiyou himself has found that aging is accelerating. When he found out that he was affected by demonic energy, Chi You has been looking for a solution, and on the other hand, he led the Jiuli people to open up a new spatial channel. Later, Chi You discovered that the aborigines of the Demon Domain had an innate ability to resist the erosion of demonic energy, so he arrested them to check. It turned out that in their bodies, there were actually two true elements, and the strange thing was that one of their true elements could completely absorb the very dirty components in the demonic qi, and after accumulating to a certain extent, this true element would be automatically destroyed, and then a new one would be born.

Chi You thought that he would also put such an extra true element in his body, so that not only could he not be eroded by demonic qi, but he could also cultivate demonic qi and gain more powerful abilities. So......" Ah Nian suddenly stopped.

"So what?" I was a little impatient.

"So...... Chi You ordered the Jiuli people to almost capture the aborigines of the Demon Domain, and only then did they find a way to forcibly take out the True Yuan that could absorb demonic energy from their bodies. Then, because these aborigines lost the true element that could absorb demonic energy, they gradually turned into a form similar to beasts. After that, Chiyou finally opened the spatial rift leading to the demon world, so he expelled all these aborigines to the demon world. But just when Chiyou wanted to lead the Jiuli clan to occupy the demon world, for some reason, he died suddenly. ”

"So, if you can find the true element that can absorb demonic qi and implant it in your body, you can avoid the erosion of demonic qi?"

"Not exactly. After Chiyu's death, my grandfather succeeded him. It is said that my grandfather was born after Chiyou obtained the aboriginal true yuan, so he was born with the true yuan that can absorb demonic energy, while other people who forcibly obtained the true yuan did not have the ability to absorb the true yuan, and eventually died early like Chiyou. But fortunately, since then, the children of the Chiyou tribe have been born with two true elements, and only these true elements that are naturally born later can truly absorb the demonic energy. ”

"That means that the true element that is forcibly implanted can't absorb demonic energy?"

"Not bad. Moreover, the means by which Chi You once obtained the true yuan of the aborigines are indeed somewhat ...... Extreme, if you really want to find this true element now......"

"If you want to find these true elements now, you can only use the same method to forcibly take them out of the demons, right? Moreover, you must also be the descendants of Chiyou. ”

Ah Nian was silent. He looked solemn, and seemed to regret telling me this.

"You tell me this secret about the demons, aren't you afraid that I ......"

"How could I, the Chiyou tribe, ever be afraid of others coming to rob me?

"At the end of the day, there's still no way. Even if the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan can obtain the True Yuan that absorbs the Demon Qi, then will it be necessary to wait until the next generation of little foxes are born to be truly not afraid of the invasion of the Demon Qi? Or, after they have two True Yuan, they should simply move to the Demon Domain and completely avoid the harassment of the Protoss. ”

"Can you move to the Demon Realm to completely avoid being invaded by the Protoss? I don't think so. ”

Yes, can you move to the Demon Domain without being disturbed? The Nine-Tailed Fox Clan has been wandering for so many years, and it seems that they have not really escaped from the strife of the Six Realms.

"It's just that the method you told us doesn't seem to be really applicable to the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan. Moreover, the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan is different from your Chiyou clan after all, they are more deeply affected by demonic energy, especially in terms of mental nature, unlike you, which affects the lifespan. Even if they really obtained the true element that could absorb demonic energy, they were not sure if they would block the influence of demonic energy on their minds. ”

Ah Nian nodded, and also fell into a new contemplation. At this time, I suddenly had another idea.

"Ah Nian, I suddenly have a doubt, is the demonic qi in the Demon Domain the same as the demonic qi formed in other places?"

When Ah Nian heard my question, he turned his head and waited for me to continue.

"It is said that demonic energy is born from the gathering of evil thoughts, so it will affect people's minds, and those bad desires will be amplified, so the nine-tailed fox clan will be more susceptible to influence. So, where does the demonic energy of the Demon Domain come from, and where does the demonic energy of other places come from?"

"I really don't know where the demonic energy of the Demon Domain comes from, maybe it is unique to the Demon Domain. But before Chi You used the Pangu Axe to open up the Demon Domain, there was no such thing as demonic energy in other spaces. All races have evil thoughts, but they don't seem to have a climate. That is, when the Demon Domain was opened, perhaps some demonic qi overflowed in the Demon Domain, so it attracted those evil qi to gather together, and there was demonic qi from other places. In essence, they may be similar, but they should be different in terms of characteristics. The demonic energy of the demon domain is more pure, although it will affect the mind, but it mostly makes people become numb and return to their nature, but the demonic energy in other places is infinitely magnifying those evil thoughts. This is also why my emperor later set a rule, but anyone who cultivates into a demon clan in other places must be detained back to the demon realm. ”

"In other words, before your imperial father, there was no so-called torture demon?"

"Naturally, no. Ever since my grandfather discovered the Land of Pure Seeking, he placed the Jiuli people who had lost their seven emotions and six desires in the Land of Pure Seeking to cultivate, hoping to restore their original minds, but it didn't seem to have any effect. Later, the emperor's father made them become torture demons, and specially went to other spaces to bring the demons who had cultivated the demon path back to the demon realm. ”

"So, do you know how Cang Li coexisted with the demonic qi in the Demon Domain......? I, how can I not be corrupted by demonic energy?" Actually, since I learned that the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan would be corrupted by demonic energy, I have had this question, and I have always been puzzled.

"Because, my mother's blood. ”

I was amazed. Everything is back to Takumi Aoki. What kind of power does she have?

"When my mother turned into the Holy Spirit Mountain, she once infused a vein of her own blood into Cang Li's body, and since you entered the Demon Realm, you began to absorb the Holy Spirit Spring Water, so you are not affected by the Demon Qi. ”

"How strange is your mother's blood, and why does it have so many effects?"

"Because my mother's blood carries the supreme power of the wordless heavenly book. ”

"Wordless Heavenly Book?"

"Yes, it is the wordless book that is rumored to contain the deepest secrets of the Six Realms. ”

"But isn't that in the divine realm?"

"I don't know the twists and turns. ”

I almost fell into deep thought. How many unknowns are hidden in these six realms? Aoki Thuku, a god and mortal combined, indeed, she is destined to have an extraordinary fate. But in the final analysis, she is just a woman, she doesn't want to be extraordinary, but she has to bear the extremely heavy burden of the Six Realms, and even in her own emotions, she has been used and calculated by countless people. Even if she turned into a stone mountain, she still couldn't escape the fate of being coveted by the beings of the Six Realms. How strong must she be to withstand all this imposed responsibility?

"But now that you have my mother's blood in you, you are naturally the target of public criticism. ”

Ah Nian's words woke me up, and I couldn't help but smile bitterly. yes, why should I think about Aoki's situation? Isn't her situation exactly where I am now?

"Therefore, we must hurry up and complete the mission of this trip and return to the Demon Domain, and we must not let the Protoss take advantage of it. He continued, accompanied by a determined gaze that looked at me impartially.

"Then, if I give my blood to the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan, will they be able to avoid the erosion of demonic energy?" I felt extremely lost for a moment, but I still said what I thought in my heart.

"No, no, no!" Hua Bird, who was listening to the gods on the sidelines, suddenly spoke, "How can you save the entire Nine-Tailed Fox Clan with your own blood! Moreover, if the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan gets the power of the Book of Heaven, won't it be a mess?"

"It's definitely not going to work. Ah Nian immediately became very serious, "I promise that the Imperial Father must bring you back safely, and I will never let you be harmed, let alone let my mother's blood be easily obtained by others." ”

I smiled wryly again. It's only now that I really know my "worth". I suddenly felt that I was no longer me, but just a container. Then all my emotions are no longer important, so why should I think for myself, why should I think about the future, and even my background is not important. Because, like Takumi Aoki, everything is already predestined. It's a pity that I'm not like her, at least I have the ability to incarnate into a mountain.

So, I stopped talking, and whatever I wanted to decide at the moment seemed to be irrelevant. The only thing I feel more uncomfortable is the unborn little life in my womb. I secretly sighed to myself that if she/he could really come into the world in peace, I only hoped that she/he would not be like her/his mother, who did not even have the right to decide her own destiny.

In any case, the moment has reached an impasse. It seems that we are really trapped in the Qingqiu Fantasy Realm.

Just when I couldn't sort out my thoughts, Ah Nian frowned and hesitated, but suddenly felt a slight fluctuation of spiritual power in the room, Ah Nian quickly became alert, the flowers and birds flew to his shoulders, and his round eyes were also full of vigilance.

I noticed their strange expressions, and I couldn't help but wait quietly and vigilantly. The room suddenly became extremely quiet.

But soon, a vague figure appeared, and I was a little surprised, but it didn't seem so strange.

The next moment, Ruyu and the turquoise hairpin she was holding appeared in the room together.

Before we could ask, the corners of her mouth twitched, and then she said, "What are you waiting for? Wait for Zisang to come and take the hairpin away?"

"How did you ......"

"Time is running out, do you want to detoxify?"

Ah Nian and I looked at each other and nodded.

Ruyu smiled coldly and said, "You are the only one who enters the hairpin with me." ”

"No!" Ah Nian flatly refused before me.

The smile on Ruyu's face disappeared immediately, and her eyes were calm, confronting Ah Nian.

"With the lesson in the cave, how can I trust you?" After a moment, Ruyu looked away and asked coldly. Come to think of it, she realized that we had already figured out what to do with her before then.

"It's because of the experience in the cave that you can't let her stay with you alone!" Ah Nian still insisted.

Ruyu glanced at him fiercely, then smiled coldly, and said, "Okay, you can be together, but ...... There are many secrets in this hairpin world, and if you encounter any accidents because you do not listen to my guidance, it has nothing to do with me. ”

"Just take us in. ”

At the moment, I am still nervous, and I still can't calm down a lot of emotions, so I can't seem to give too much advice. Every step I take now, every decision I make, seems to have immeasurable consequences, so I hesitate. On this day, I got so much new information that I was a little confused about who I really was.

Ruyu didn't give me extra time to think, and I didn't even have much experience of the whole process of how to enter the hairpin world, I just felt that Ruyu had cast some kind of spell, and my body began to lighten, and everything in front of me began to blur. In the next moment, I was already in a new world, with Ah Nian and the flowers and birds on his shoulders beside me, and a meaningful smile on the corner of his mouth on the other side, but it was fleeting. It's just that I noticed that the hairpin in her hand was gone. This is not surprising, after all, we are now inside the hairpin.
