Chapter 536: Reflection in the Pond (2nd Watch)
The snow stopped.
Yang Qingyin in the snow house had a long dream, in which she returned to the Old Ancestral Peak - it had not been destroyed by the demon clan, it was as magnificent and mysterious as ever, and there might be secrets hidden everywhere - she saw her father, her mother, countless relatives, and every Pangshan Taoist priest she had ever met, who came and went in front of her eyes, either cordial, indifferent, reproachful, or persuasive, but she didn't care.
The feeling of emptiness in her heart is more obvious, people come and go, but there is always a lack of a face, she walked in her dreams, walked all over the ten branches of Pang Mountain, large and small courtyards and tall and low towers, smelled the fragrance of the towering tree when it bloomed every ten years, and saw the proud tail screen of the flowing color king sparrow...... None of this satisfied her.
She continued to walk, of course, it was a dream, and it only took a thought to get anywhere, she just felt like she was walking all the time, her body was heavy, her legs were tired, as if she were a mortal with no power.
She came to the application center and saw many familiar faces, and a grinning face leaned over and said, "Let's get married." β
She pushed the face away in disgust, and after a while she remembered that it was Guan Shenyue, who was already dead, and she turned to look for him, only to see the disciples of Zhiyong busily running around the village, everyone smiling at her flatteringly, but not Guan Shenyue.
She suddenly remembered that Guan Shenyue was not saying this to herself, but another place, a place she was very familiar with, perhaps the goal she had been looking for, to fill the empty space in her heart.
This time, her thoughts turned with great difficulty, as if something was blocking the way, and she could go back and forth freely between Old Ancestor Peak and the Utility Center, but she couldn't go to that place.
She felt more tired, but she was a stubborn and unyielding female Taoist, and the more forbidden things she had, the more she had to do them again. So she kept turning her thoughts, and in her dreams she kept walking, sometimes it was freezing and snowy, her legs were numb from the cold, and sometimes it was the summer heat, and the steaming heat made people dizzy.
But she still didn't give up.
It was a long walk in a long dream, she held back her strength, she had to go to that place, she had forgotten about Guan Shenyue, but she felt as if her whole body was bound by something. Only in that place can freedom be regained.
That place.
It became a goal, more urgent than hunger, cold, heat, pain, and so on, and she had to find it!
She didn't know how long she had been walking, but the scene suddenly changed, and she finally came to that placeβa pond.
The pond is not large, the shape is an irregular oval, the shore is covered with grass, it is not too deep, and it is crystal clear. There are a few small fish swimming around.
It was such an ordinary place, she was a little disappointed, and slowly remembered that this was indeed the place where Guan Shen said strange things to herself, but she was not here for this. Because the hole in my heart has still not been filled.
She looked at the water, wondering what attracted her to the pond.
After a long time, she saw her own reflection on the water, which was a very normal thing. She thought it was a little strange, because she remembered that there was no reflection in the pond at first.
That's her, she's not tall. With the big heroic eyes unique to the Yang family, she usually looks very arrogant, and when she stares at her, she looks very stern, just relying on this kind of look, she has scared off many Taoist disciples.
She couldn't help laughing at the thought of all the ridiculous things she had done before, but instead of laughing, the reflection in the pond shed tears.
The reflection is crying!
She was so angry that she shouted at the pond, "My mother has never cried......!
She felt dizzy, and in a trance remembered that she seemed to have cried once, not in infancy, but when she grew up, she not only cried, as if she had ...... It seems to be still tears in front of someone.
The thought of "someone" was like a bolt of lightning that struck from head to toe, making her feel a splitting headache, and every qiΔ in front of her eyes began to shake, especially the pond, which was like a whirlwind of clouds, constantly changing shapes, and the reflection was twisting and swaying.
"Stop!" she cried out, and the ground went away, and she flew into the sky at breakneck speed.
Bang, the dream ended, Yang Qingyin sat up suddenly, opened her eyes, her heart beat like a drum, in a trance, she forgot where she was, and a figure appeared vaguely in front of her, it was not her reflection, nor was it anyone she had seen in her dream, it was more like-
The human form of King Jin.
Yang Qingyin jumped to the ground and finally returned to the real world, this is not the Old Ancestor Peak, but the land of the demons, she stayed with a group of spirit demons, and was digging up the relics of the demon clan.
Where is the dragon demon? Yang Qingyin remembered that she was the one who lulled her to sleep, but now she is gone.
There was another bang, it turned out that this was not an illusion in a dream, but the sound of a real existence outside, Yang Qingyin hurriedly ran out.
Spirit demons and ordinary demons stood together without distinction from each other, and they all looked up at a huge set of armor and said nothing.
Yang Qingyin slowed down, she had just returned from the "Old Ancestor Peak", the Taoist priest's belief was stronger, and she felt strange that she was mixed with a group of demon clans, and soon, this thought disappeared, and her eyes were also attracted by that armor.
The armor is more than three feet high, the whole body is black, it can cover the whole body, even the fingers are not exposed, only there are some changes in the joints, other than that, it is all made of one piece, the breastplate and helmet are carved with simple patterns, and there is no extra decoration on the whole body.
Yang Qingyin gradually approached, and as the angle of the sun changed, he could roughly see that the pattern on the armor was a bunch of curly branches.
A majestic and gloomy armor is not equipped with a mighty pattern such as a beast's head and claws, but it is engraved with the shape of a tree, which is really a bit weird.
"Is this the armor left by the demons?" asked Yang Qingyin.
The beast demon nodded at her, but his usually fierce face was childlike joy at this time, and even his voice was lowered, "A whole set, nothing is missing, it took a whole day to dig it out." β
Yang Qingyin was taken aback, which meant that the sleep he had just now lasted for at least a day, which had never happened before.
"Can it be used to make demon pills?" Yang Qingyin had been among the demon clan for a long time, and he was a little used to their thoughts, feeling that the demon clan relics were used to make demon pills together with the demon pill.
"Shhhh Lao Bang didn't answer the question, and stretched out his hand and pointed to the armor.
Bang, again.
The sound came from inside the armor, where the heart was to be exact.
King Jin jumped into the air. At the same height as the armor, looking at the hundreds of demons on the snow, his voice showed a bit of excitement, "Do you hear it, this demon is not dead yet!" His heart is still beating, and his face can be seen from here, still intact." β
The armor is simple in style, but the shape of the helmet is a bit strange, like a piece of wood that has been cut haphazardly, and there are many jagged wooden thorns on it. The whole mask is a piece of black iron, leaving no gaps for the eyes and nostrils, and the edges are not completely fastened, and it is from here that King Jin sees the situation inside, and finds that the demon has not rotted yet.
"What should I do, use it to make demon pills?" asked a spirit demon.
King Jin was thinking, and the beast demon Lao Bu spoke first, creating a demon pill requires demon relics and the demon pill of their group of ordinary demon clans, he doesn't want to sacrifice it, "Stupid." What kind of demon pill to make? The demon clan's mana is boundless, even more powerful than a Taoist priest, save him, and he will definitely be able to save your lives. β
The old bump spoke in a rude tone. The spirit demons didn't care, looking at the towering demons, they felt that the hope in front of them was getting clearer and clearer.
"No, you can't save the demons. Yang Qingyin objected loudly. After being erased, she was unable to recall the past in detail, and the Taoist priest's sense of self became weaker and weaker. But after all, she is a Taoist priest, and her antipathy and vigilance against the demons are deep in her bone marrow.
Yang Qingyin's imperial weapon flew into the air, glanced at the horse-shaped Jin King, this was not the face she vaguely saw when she woke up from her dream, shook her head, and then said to all the demon clans: "Demons are not good, they once enslaved the demon clan and slaughtered humans, once he wakes up, he will definitely kill us all." β
"How do you know?" an old sandalwood sheep on the ground shook his long beard under his chin, showing a little distrust, "You are a Taoist priest, of course you don't like demons." Even if the demons were cruel in the past, but now they have lost their power, and they need help, why should they kill the demons? We are willing to be his helpers. β
"The demons don't want helpers, they want slaves. Yang Qingyin hoped to remember some records in the book, but the memories gave her a headache, and the words that she had at her fingertips in the past were now like a fog of disobedience, but she still firmly believed that she could not save the demons, "What about the dragon demons? She should know what the demons are all about." β
"She's gone, gone. King Jin said coldly, a little dissatisfied with the dragon demon's farewell, "She left yesterday without leaving any information. She seems to know that we are about to find this demon, and the excavation site is what she has designated. β
"So the dragon demon also supports us to save the demon race. The old sandalwood sheep felt that this was a hint, "Otherwise, she will definitely sue us." β
"You can't save the demons!" Yang Qingyin felt a panic, but couldn't say any more reasons for opposition, "The demons are very dangerous, they can't ...... Never ......"
The headache became more and more intense, and Yang Qingyin seemed to have returned to the early stage of demon transformation, but it felt a little different, no longer like a knife scraping, as if something was exploding, and countless thin steel needles were piercing his head.
She saw the pond again, and the reflection on the water was not herself, but a handsome and stubborn man's face, looking at her warily.
Yang Qingyin's Inner Dan suddenly stopped rotating, and after losing her mana, she stood unsteadily in the air and fell headlong.
King Jin galloped to the ground and carried her to the ground.
The demons watched in amazement at this scene, the proud King of Jin actually let a human ride on his back!
Yang Qingyin didn't notice the strange eyes around her, jumped to the ground, there were too many past events in her mind, she couldn't accept them all for a while, still thinking about one thing, "You must not save the demon clan......"
There was a slight tremor from the ground suddenly, and there seemed to be a voice, and before the demons could understand what was going on, the demon armor standing between them moved.
Bang bang bang...... The thing in the chest of the armor jumped faster and faster.
