As the night passed, the morning sun cut through the darkness and fell on the ape's cheeks, slowly waking him up from his slumber.

When his consciousness was completely clear, he sat up suddenly, and found that he was still sitting in the arms of the old demon, which made him feel relieved.

The old demon retracted his gaze from the Ghost Howling Valley, looked at the ape spirit, and a smile reappeared on his face, and asked, "Wake up, have you slept a lot?" ”

The ape spirit opened his mouth and was about to say, "Much better." ”

But the words eventually became a squeak, which made him stunned for a moment.

Then he realized that he was just an ordinary monkey now, and he couldn't speak at all.

The old demon seemed to understand the ape spirit's words, smiled slightly, and said, "Since that's the case, let's go out and play by ourselves, and don't go too far in a hurry." ”

The ape spirit didn't leave, at this moment he didn't know if what was in front of him was real, but no matter what, he still didn't want to waste time, or wanted to stay with the old demon for even a second.

The old demon watched the ape spirit come to him and sit down, and said with a smile, "Why did you change your character? Usually, I don't let you go, you have to go out." Why are you so interested in accompanying me, an old man, today, don't you feel bored?"

The ape spirit shook his head, but stayed quietly beside the old demon, and the old demon only looked at him in surprise, and then said no more.

Time passed slowly, and a grunt came from the ape spirit's stomach, and a long-lost hunger pang came from the stomach, making the ape spirit frown.

The old demon looked at the ape spirit stubbornly and didn't want to leave, smiled slightly, and said, "Go out and find something to eat." I'll be waiting for you here, and I'm not going anywhere. ”

The ape spirit did not squeak, but sat there quietly, until the hunger in his belly became more and more intense, until at last there was even a burst of colic, he stood up with some reluctance, glanced at the old demon, and drove into the woods, and came to the fruit forest where he and the caterpillar met.

As soon as he came here, the ape spirit couldn't help but think of the caterpillar, and I don't know how the caterpillar is doing now.

After quickly eating a few fruits, the ape spirit looked around and began to look for the caterpillar.

He came to the place where the caterpillar burrow in his memory was, as he expected, hidden in the bushes, and could not be seen at all if he did not look closely.

He waited quietly in a tree until noon, when there was a slight movement at the entrance of the cave.

The ape spirit immediately stared intently, and at the same time leaned its body against the trunk of the tree, trying to hold its breath.

Soon with a rustling sound, the round, barb-covered familiar figure came into view, and the blood-red eyes looked around vigilantly, and then disappeared into the bushes on the side, only the occasional breaking sound of the bushes could be seen.

The ape spirit quietly followed the caterpillar, wanting to see what his daily life was like before he met him.

Somewhat unexpectedly, the caterpillar did not find other demon beasts to kill after going out, but just came to a sunny place, lying there quietly, bathed in sunlight, and could vaguely see a trace of golden silk thread along the caterpillar's whole body.

In this way, the caterpillar lay there until the sun went down, and then returned to its cave.

The ape spirit watched the caterpillar disappear, so he quietly left, returned to the fruit forest and picked some wild fruits again, ate to his heart's content, and picked some in his arms, all of which were left for the old demon, although at this moment he already understood that the old demon didn't need these things at all.

The old demon sat on the stone platform, did not leave a single step, at this moment watched the ape spirit come with a large number of fruits, a smile appeared on his mouth, as always, he picked up a fruit, ate it without any image, and in less than a moment, he wiped out the more than ten fruits.

The ape spirit watched the old demon almost gobble up every moment of fruit, and the corners of his mouth curled, jumping up and down around the old demon as in memory.

The old demon also seemed to like watching the ape spirit like this, and he smiled and wiped the juice from the corner of his mouth.

Time passed, and the ape spirit completely sank into this beautiful life.

Until one day half a year later, the old demon reached out and touched the head of the ape spirit, smiled kindly, and said, "Ape spirit, you have been with me for so many years, but I haven't done anything for you, are you very dissatisfied?"

The moment he heard this, the ape spirit's mind was like thunder, his eyes showed fear, he immediately shook his head, and even jumped up and down in front of him, shouting in his heart, "Don't, don't talk about it, don't talk about it." Please, don't go on!"

But when he tried to say this, it only turned into a squeak.

The old demon didn't seem to be able to read what the ape spirit was thinking this time, and he smiled, as he remembered and said, "The little guy is not honest again." ”

The ape spirit breathed heavily, his eyes gradually became bloodshot, and he tried to say what he thought in his heart, but it backfired, and everything was developing towards the plot in his memory.

The constant screaming made the ape's throat quickly hoarse, and the originally sharp roar had now become a roar, and even the continuous roar made him feel a sharp pain in his throat, but he didn't care, he still roared.

There was a madness in his eyes, and he kept roaring at the old demon, and even finally, after letting out a roar, a mouthful of blood sprayed out, splashing the old demon.

But the old demon didn't seem to feel any of this, and kept saying the words that made him familiar to the ape spirit, and finally looked at the ape spirit kindly, and slowly stretched out his hand with a sigh, and pressed towards the ape spirit's heavenly spirit.

In an instant, the ape spirit only felt that his body was solidified, making him unable to move, but the roar in his heart did not stop, his eyes were bloodshot, and he had become blood-red, but he was helpless, for the ape spirit at this moment, the old demon was an unattainable existence, and he had no ability to resist in the face of the other party's confinement.

Seeing that the old demon's hand was about to fall on the ape spirit's heavenly spirit, two lines of blood and tears flowed out of the corners of the ape spirit's eyes, and then, an earth-shattering roar suddenly came out of the ape spirit's mouth, as soon as this roar appeared, a dazzling golden light immediately burst out from the ape spirit, and the color of his monkey hair was also turning silver white at a speed visible to the naked eye, and even his body was taller, and a breath belonging to the immortal venerable suddenly burst out from him.

The old demon's face was shocked, his hand stayed in the air, and he looked at the suddenly changed ape spirit in front of him in disbelief, and his body, which had already exhausted his longevity, fell to his knees under the momentum that belonged to the Immortal Venerable, and he couldn't even lift his head.

The ape spirit didn't feel the long-lost feeling of power coming from his body, and when he saw the old demon kneeling on the ground under his momentum, he immediately put away his breath and stepped forward to help him up.

But his hand was halfway out, and the old demon's fearful and respectful words came to him.

"The little demon sees the great sage of the demon clan, begging the great sage not to blame the little demon for being rude, just now the little demon just wants to open the spiritual wisdom for the great sage......"

It may be that he is too frightened, and he can't go on at this point, although the ape spirit has gathered all his momentum at this moment, but the old demon's body has not stopped trembling.

The ape spirit looked at the old demon, his eyes were full of bitterness, is this really the real old demon?

The one lying on the ground in front of him, as if begging for pity, is really the old demon in his memory?

Or, the real old demon, is this really the case?

The ape spirit didn't know the answer, and he didn't want to know the answer, he slowly squatted down, helped the old demon up with both hands, and looked at the old demon who was still full of fear, and the ape spirit's heart hurt even more.

He was completely awake and understood that the old demon in front of him was just a fragment of his own memory, and the old demon in front of him was just a phantom conjured up by not knowing who used what kind of magic power and combined with his own memory.

But even if he knew it, he could immediately wipe out the old demon in front of him, blast this precious place in his memory into pieces, and destroy this giant snake who didn't know where to live and their ten thousand demon forests?

"I ...... Can't do it. ”

The ape spirit murmured bitterly.

He really can't do it, how can he do it. What is he cultivating so hard for, what is he leading the demon clan to rise for.

Isn't it just for the old demon's instructions before he died, isn't it just to be able to let his little brother no longer live in dire straits from now on.

But now he wants to destroy all this, destroy the Ten Thousand Demon Forest that is almost the starting point of his life, and kill the old demon in front of him, who is obviously an illusion, he ...... Can't do it.

Even if you know in your heart, all this is fake.

Just as the ape spirit looked at the old demon in front of him and had a lot of thoughts in his heart, a hideous smile that did not match the memory of the ape spirit suddenly appeared on the face of the old demon who was still full of panic just now.

Then, a pitch-black dagger stabbed into the chest of the unsuspecting ape.

A sharp pain passed down his chest into the ape spirit's body, making him feel the extreme pain that he almost forgot, causing the ape spirit to immediately take a few steps back and half-kneel on the ground with a muffled grunt.

The dagger stuck in his chest had turned into a cloud of black water, which melted into his body along the wound, causing the black on his chest to spread rapidly, and the silver-white hair gradually turned black and fell out quickly.

His skin was rapidly decaying, and yellowed pus was flowing from the wound, and the pain of this body decaying alive made the ape spirit's expression distort.

He looked at the old demon, but unfortunately what he saw was a hideous face, an old demon who looked at himself now showing a bloodthirsty light, and at some point a black dagger appeared in his hand, and it was fiercely inserted into the ape spirit's body, which made the ape spirit's body decay faster, and the pain was also increased geometrically.

Now there are still some cultivation remnants in the ape spirit's body, and with his strength, he can fully blast the old demon in front of him into powder, and even this may be the only way for him to leave the illusion.

But he didn't, with a miserable smile on his face, he let the old demon keep plunging daggers into his body until his consciousness was blurred, until everything in front of him was shattered like a dream, until everything in front of him was back to its original state, and there was still an endless passage in front of him, and countless voices were still murmuring in his ears.

But at this moment, the ape spirit did not continue to advance, he sat there paralyzed, his face still retained the miserable smile just now, and his eyes were filled with tears, but he could not shed tears.

This is the ghost prison, which not only tortures the soul, but also can break the mind.

This is the greatest punishment and the greatest trial, as long as you can stay awake and walk through this passage, then when the ape spirit stands again on the underworld, it will be reborn.

It's a pity that this trial is too cruel for the ape spirit, so that his soul body instantly changed from a young man to a middle-aged appearance, and his expression revealed exhaustion, as if the illusion just now made the ape spirit age a lot in an instant, the only thing that remained unchanged was the miserable smile on his face.
