Chapter 71: An Invitation from the Sea
On the day of the Qingming Festival.
Zhan Lu and the others already knew that through the misty forest, they could reach a place called the Human City.
That's where the demons are.
This is the news I learned from Nanque.
They had already written back to the mountain yesterday to inform Liu Chongjin.
Wait for more disciples in the sect who know how to form to come, break the formation in the forest, and then you can enter.
Twilight and Zhan Lu decide to take Liu Qinuo and Dai Peijiu on another trip to the Misty Forest tomorrow, intending to familiarize themselves with the environment again.
Find some ways to save time and effort for those who come later.
The inner demon is there, if Zhan Lu doesn't go to her, she will also come to Zhan Lu.
They are each other's enemies.
For the enemy, it is impossible to avoid it, and it must go to the point of life and death.
Two hundred years ago, the demon took Zhan Lu as her enemy, and she had already stabbed the enemy once.
Two hundred years later, Zhan Lu also wanted to kill the one who harmed her parents, imprisoned their souls, ruined her life, killed her with the hands of the person she loved the most, tortured her in hell in the chaotic period, and separated her and her loved one for two hundred years for no reason.
They drew out the twelve mazes they had cracked yesterday and sorted them out.
Considering the safety of the two children, Mao Zheng and Dai Peilan, he also contacted Wen Tingyue of Spring Peak and asked him to take the two children back to the mountain tomorrow.
Everything is well planned, just waiting to be implemented.
When the sun was setting, an uninvited guest came to the inn.
Canghai was dressed in red and walked up to a few people who had just had dinner.
She didn't squint, and stared straight at Zhan Lu: "Zhan Lu, you come out, I'm looking for you something." ”
It is a little different from the Canghai I saw a few times before, the Canghai in the past was arrogant, but tonight's Canghai is a little more depressed and tired.
It was like a big blow.
And this time, she restrained her anger and didn't shout and kill.
There is no danger in looking at it.
It's rare to see Canghai send it to the door so sensibly and didn't flee in a hurry.
Zhan Lu really felt that he needed to have a good talk with Canghai, the kind of talk that was calm.
She got up and prepared to follow Canghai out.
Before leaving, he gave Twilight a soothing smile, "It's okay, I'll go out with her and I'll be back soon." ”
Despite what she said, Twilight was relieved when she thought of the previous incident where she and Canghai were injured in the back mountain.
He'd already lost it once, and he couldn't afford to let Zhan Lu suffer any more damage.
Twilight didn't reply, just nodded.
After Zhan Lu and Canghai walked out, Qiandui still followed.
Canghai led Zhan Lu to an empty meadow where no one was around, and then stopped.
Twilight didn't come closer, looking at it from a distance.
He was in just the right place, and he could go to Zhan Lu's side immediately in a flash.
Moreover, there was no conversation between Canghai and Zhan Lu in this place, and he would not spy on what they were saying.
Protecting Zhanlu while retaining that respect.
Respect her privacy, respect her wishes, respect her choices and decisions.
What Zhan Lu wants him to know, he will naturally let him know.
He didn't want him to know, so he didn't look into it.
Canghai asked Zhan Lu: "Two hundred years ago, why did you abandon me?" ”
Her tone was a little tired.
Zhan Lu was stunned when asked, they were one, she separated one soul, she shouldn't have consciousness, but she didn't want Canghai to be able to cultivate consciousness.
With the sea of consciousness, there is independent thought.
I feel like a child abandoned by my mother.
So she has a grudge against Zhan Lu.
Zhan Lu finally understood what Canghai did, and the reason why she was better than herself in everything.
The purpose is to prove to her that she is not weak, that she is useful, that she is even stronger than the ontology, and that she should not be abandoned.
And Zhan Lu abandoned her, so she wants to make Zhan Lu regret it, and she wants Zhan Lu to know that she is the strong one.
"Canghai, you also know the situation at that time, if we don't do that, we won't be able to live."
If it weren't for the fact that she had split a soul to imprison the demons at that time, she would have been devoured by the demons before she was powerless.
"I didn't think about abandoning you, I just had to choose it when I was in a hurry."
"You're lucky you didn't go with me to hell in that chaotic time."
"You also know what a good cultivation material our elves are, as far as ghosts and goblins are concerned, they all want to devour and absorb our pure spiritual power and turn it into their own cultivation."
The spirit is a collection of the purest spiritual power, free of impurities, easy to digest and absorb.
"The demons pushed me into that hell just to make me be torn apart and robbed of food by ten thousand ghosts, and end up in a miserable end."
The chaotic hell at the beginning, it was not easy to survive.
As soon as she fell into hell, evil spirits came to smell her.
She was caught and almost died on the spot.
Fortunately, the evil spirit was very greedy and wanted to eat alone, and the evil spirit that came soon after was unwilling to let the evil spirit succeed.
After a scramble, the greedy demons will not let anyone, and everyone wants to eat alone.
They all want to absorb this pure spiritual power alone to strengthen themselves.
She was almost out of her mind when she was pinched by their claws.
In the end, I finally sneaked away when a few evil ghosts were fighting.
But the slip away was only temporary, and the imps couldn't smell her breath when they were far away, and they could only smell it when they got closer.
Powerful demons can smell her breath far away.
So soon the demons came after them.
She had no choice but to leave her hair on the other imps to mislead them into finding them.
Buy time to escape.
She is running away all the time, she can't stay, and once she stops, what awaits her is to be devoured.
She was tired and tired from running around, but she didn't dare to rest or let her guard down.
She was afraid that one negligence would lead to her soul being lost.
She will never see the person she wants to see again.
So she never had a good night's sleep at that time.
Gradually, she first learned how to hide her aura.
After learning to hide myself, I thought I could finally live a stable life.
But I didn't want any ghosts to make her portrait and distribute it to the little ghosts, and if they found her, they would be rewarded for catching her.
She hadn't had time to recover yet, and she had to find a way to hide.
She covered her face with black mud and painted herself black.
However, the clothes of the spirit body cannot be changed, unless there is a new one to burn for them, or after cultivating themselves, they use spells to change the magic clothes.
The imps could tell her by the style and color of her clothes.
One day she was surrounded by a group of imps who wanted to arrest her and claim her reward.
In fact, there is no reward, but you can exchange for the protection of the big ghost, and you don't have to be devoured by the ghosts of other forces.
After all, in the hell of the chaotic period, the cultivation of evil ghosts does not follow the right path, and most of them are ghosts and ghosts.
If it's too weak, people look down on it, and if it's too strong, people can't afford to mess with it.
The medium ones are the easiest to become food.
And the best choice in food is that although the mana is weak and invincible to everyone, it is an excellent cultivation of the elven body of the great supplement.
She barely escaped that day.
Fortunately, she chose the right direction, ran to the Nai He Bridge, and hid under Meng Po's table.
Meng Po didn't expose her that day, and the little ghost didn't dare to provoke the ghosts who were elected by Heaven during the chaotic period.
On that day, she became acquainted with Meng Po, and from then on she had a place to hide and practice.
After that, she slowly learned to transform the magic robe.
I finally have the opportunity to live a peaceful life secretly once in a while.
She knows that in order to live, if she wants to see the people she cares about, she has to be stronger.
So she began to practice spells, but she didn't have a way to cultivate.
She didn't know what cultivation was, she hadn't been exposed to cultivation, and the only cultivation method she knew was the cultivation of evil ghosts.
It's just the way of cultivating demons, which is inhumane, and they will only devour it.
But Zhan Lu didn't want to devour those evil ghosts, she didn't want to use that method, and when she thought of that method, she felt uncomfortable.
So she can only explore by herself and find a different way.
But how easy is it to create your own cultivation method.
Most of the people who are faced are going crazy and taking a fork in the road.
It is you who suffers.
A few times she almost went mad, she wanted to give up, but thinking about the people she still cared about, thinking about Twilight, she persevered.
Finally, the hard work paid off, she succeeded, became stronger, and will no longer be bullied and hunted down.
Heavenly Dao also gave her an official position when she was unmatched, and she became the king there.
She didn't want to face such a chaotic hell again.
So she began to rectify that world, set up various official positions, and set up a system of rewards and punishments.
Hell also began to be divided, and those who should suffer sins should go to the corresponding places.
Gradually, the hell of the mixed wheel became orderly.
No more demons wreaking havoc.
She called the place where the dead would go.
When hell is in order, life is stable, and she also gets a lot of merit.
With the blessing of the new merits, her mana has skyrocketed.
She had just begun to open the door to the world.
It took her two hundred years to finally return to the world.
Zhan Lu told Canghai about his experience: "Canghai, after entering that hell, it is too difficult to return to the world." ”
She slowed her tone and continued.
"Hundreds of years ago, I could only think about how to live, how to hold on to the person I wanted to wait for."
"At that time, I never thought that there was a possibility of returning to the world."
"I used to be glad that I still have a soul left in the world, and I can see the scenery of the world for me."
"You and I are one, and our purpose is the same."
Canghai also knew that she and Zhan Lu had the same purpose.
They have a common enemy. There are people who care about it in common. They are one, and they should be the same.
It's just that because they are separated, they are affected by different influences, and they become two branches.
Compared to Zhan Lu's suffering in the afterlife, she is just a little lonely in the world.
She was muddy and tightly entangled with a black mist, and they didn't let each other go.
It was originally a stalemate between each other, but suddenly one day the black fog weakened, and she defeated the black fog and had her own consciousness.
With the entity, she is able to manipulate her body with her own consciousness.
This is the process of her cultivation into an entity, inexplicable, logical, not to mention hard.
It could even be said to be a breeze.
And then she didn't know where the demons went?
And I don't know why, in my own consciousness, the existence and concept of the inner demon are also a little vague, and it is not easy to be remembered.
Before Zhan Lu returned to this world, she just felt lonely, endless loneliness and loneliness.
After she became physical and conscious, she lived in a city.
There is a river outside the city with a bridge over it.
The banks of the river are full of black orchids.
She named that city 'Human City', and that bridge was named 'Nai River', and that bridge was named 'Nai He Bridge'.
For a long, long, long time, it was just an isolated city, and she was the only one living in it.
I don't know how many years have passed, but many residents have come to the city one after another.
Every time they saw her, they would salute respectfully and say, "City Lord." ”
She didn't know where the inhabitants came from or what they were doing every day.
She only wakes up for a short time every day, and most of the time she falls asleep boringly.
She had always thought that this was the case, that she was so bored that she was always asleep.
But recently she has discovered the clue that perhaps she thinks that the control of this body has never been the only one who can control it.
