Chapter 12: I Want to Be a Demon
The noisy mountains and forests, baked by the afternoon sun, evaporated layers of gray-green heat waves.
Covered under the endless, towering canopy of trees, overlapping shrubs, knee-high weeds, and dotted and unknown wildflowers, all worked hard to fight for every inch of land, and constantly exuded a damp and sour earthy smell.
Being in it is not only hot, but also depressing.
The mule and horse, whose neck had broken and were dying, lay there, and under the sad and helpless gaze of their kind, they were dying step by step. The smell of corruption, which had already begun, quickly diffused through the woods, and immediately tempted a swarm of bloodthirsty flies to buzz around.
Uncle Zhang trembled, and used a broken branch as a crutch to support his old body bones. Next to him, the girl in a red dress with willow eyebrows and slight cheeks is Yang Ruoqing.
In this mountain forest soaked in the breath of death, the two of them with twelve points of worry, as well as unbearable fear and hesitation, brushed aside the weeds, and walked to a deep stone cave.
About a quarter of an hour ago, they saw Yang Ao walk into the cave in a daze like a hungry ghost passing by the imperial dining room. After that, the mountains shook suddenly, and the wild birds in the forest fluttered and fluttered, and their hearts fluttered.
How to say it, as the young master of the Zhiyuan Dart Bureau who has a deep hatred of blood, as the only male in the Yangmen lineage to continue the incense, of course, as the only hope to support Zhang Bo and Xiaomei to continue to survive in this bumpy journey, Yang Ao, you must live!
Not only to live, but also to live well!
Zhang Bo prayed silently in his heart, and led Yang Ruoqing to tremble and enter the hole.
I thought it was dark and cramped inside, but I never thought that the actual situation was completely the opposite. Overhead, an iron pot-like lamp hung brightly white. Four iron chains hung from the roof of the cave, all pulled straight, but dragged out crooked projections, floating on the uneven walls of the cave.
Looking around, the walls of the cave are almost perpendicular to the ground. The left and right walls contain a lot of crystal ores, shining and shining, as bright as the starry sky. There was also a stone door open on one side, revealing a bright red glow like magma, like hell.
Zhang Bo boldly approached the stone door, and through the crack of the slightly opened door, he saw that the red mist inside was filled, and a tall black shadow was hidden in the haze.
- "Young owner?"
- "Brother?"
The old and the young shouted anxiously.
I saw that the black shadow suddenly shook a few times, and it seemed to hear the shouts outside. Immediately after, the black shadow rushed in front of him in the blink of an eye at an incredible speed!
Dressed in a black robe, the face scarf is wrapped around the neck, and the hat is also hung behind the back, look at the face, the sword eyebrows are in the sideburns, and the nose is straight and the mouth is square!
That's Yang Ao!
Uncle Zhang grabbed the other party excitedly, and wanted to say a few words, but Yang Ao pulled him over, hugged the petite Yang Ruoqing by the waist, and rushed out without looking back. And almost at the same time, the mineral crystals on the walls of the cave on both sides suddenly changed their faces, and countless arcs of hot light shot out from the brush, as if the crossbow was secretly set up by the mechanism, shattering everything in the cave, including the lamp above the head and the hidden key!
......
Pulling the mule and horse, headless and brainless, he ran more than a stone's throw into the dense forest in one breath before stopping.
"Less...... Less proprietorship, research ...... What the hell is going on?" Zhang Bo panted, his hands on his cane. The danger and commotion of licking blood on the knife edge for the past few days almost killed him.
Yang Ao looked around, looked at the little sister with a sad face, and began to tell the experience in the cave.
“...... I walked in and found that the space, layout, and size inside and outside the stone gate were the same, like looking in a mirror. There's also a lamp over there, a stone trough. However, there was no stone key found in the trough, and the light was not white, but red, very red......"
"The same?" Yang Ruoqing's eyes widened and blurted out Yang Ao. Such a bizarre story is both fresh and terrifying for her, a girl in her boudoir.
"Well, it's not exactly the same," Yang Ao corrected his wording, "so I'm confused." Think about it, in this kind of barren mountains and mountains, there is a cave with a mechanism, and we have discovered it by mistake, isn't it too strange?"
"In the dark, it's already doomed...... And what about later?" asked Uncle Zhang, with a sigh.
"Then I found the exit. It is said that if the two stone caves were symmetrical, there should also be a hole. Sure enough, in the same position, there was a stone slab with several lines of words engraved on it. ”
"What word?"
"It's all ancient seal characters, like an inscription. The first eight words are 'mysteries and mysteries, the door of all wonders'. The second is to talk about 'the universe is desolate, chaos is beginning to open, turbidity is separated and combined, and the cycle goes on and on', and it is also said that 'the gods and demons of the three realms are all born from the heart, the son is a god, and I want to become a demon'......"
"This ......" Uncle Zhang couldn't help but exclaim when he heard it clearly, "This seems to be some kind of mental trick!"
"Well, it's a little similar, but I don't understand it later, and I only understand the last few sentences at first, which is 'sincere fear, respectful, Futian is in me, don't ask him'. ”
"What do you mean?"
"I guess this stone cave must have been opened by some master in ancient times, maybe for retreat and cultivation, or maybe it was just a seclusion. The words on the stone door should have been carved by this master for future generations to discover and understand. Uncle Zhang, what you just said was some kind of mental method, and it does make sense. ”
"Don't dare, don't dare, old rotten nonsense. ”
"No, I just read it once in the cave, and I felt that the divine breath in my body was rapidly generated, like a spring opened, and it flowed endlessly. After that, my consciousness became more and more refreshing, and I figured out the passage that I couldn't understand before!"
"What is it?"
"It's the way to open that stone door. ”
"And you're open?"
"Yes. Using the method of Professor Xinjue, I moved open the stone gate and found that there was another world outside. When Yang Ao said this, his eyes became grim, and Ruyue's face was also covered with a layer of dark cloud-like gloom, which frightened Zhang Bo and Yang Ruoqing into not daring to ask again.
I heard Yang Ao change his gloomy tone and said coldly: "It's not the human world, it's a purgatory with a sea of swords and fire...... Everywhere there were wailing living corpses, some with severed limbs and arms, some with rotten intestines, and it was terrible to see...... I was about to turn around and come out, but I was dragged by two living corpses...... As a last resort...... Swing your sword and slash a burst of ......"
"What about that, what about later?"
Then a man in a cloak appeared beside him, raised his hand, and erased the purgatory. He asked me if my name was Yang Ao. ”
"Does he know you?"
"Hmph, he didn't know me, but Yang Ao, the Sword Emperor of the Heavenly Country, said that he was an old acquaintance with him, and asked me if I would like to exchange a condition with him. ”
"On what terms?"
"He helped me get revenge, and I helped him become a demon. ”
"Huh?" Zhang Bo and Yang Ruoqing were both shocked. Not to mention this demonic process, but to say that the unheard of scene is jaw-dropping and unbelievable.
He said that he was from the Demon Realm, and he originally had the supreme glory of the Sword Demon, but because of a battle with the two realms of man and god, he was finally defeated and trapped in Qingniuling. With his previous sword power cultivation, he opened a stone cave here, cultivated for thousands of tribulations, and still couldn't break the seal. And the only way for him to escape is to find someone who is destined to be his boat. ”
"What is a ship?"
"He told me that the three worlds of humans, demons, and gods are all one flesh and spirit. The body dies, and the primordial spirit loses its sustenance. His body was destroyed long before the Thousand Eons, and if he wanted to break the seal, he had to find a body that could be used as a ferry. So, he picked me...... Perhaps, it was not him, but providence. Yang Ao said this unusually flatly, and he couldn't hear a trace of emotion at all.
"Brother......" Yang Ruoqing couldn't help but burst into tears, and said with a whimper, "Then did you agree......
"Hehe, as long as you can take revenge, there will be no recovery, so what's the matter!!"
"Young owner!" Uncle Zhang shook his hands, grabbed Yang Ao's arms and shouted, "It shouldn't be!
Yang Ao was speechless.
At present, only he knows that after two accidents in the wilderness on the outskirts of the city and in this mountain forest, he has lost the Zhiyuan dart game and embarked on the bloody road of escape and revenge. However, the two primordial gods of the Young Sword Emperor of the Heavenly Kingdom and the mysterious cloaked man are now all in one!
If it is said that the Mixed Yuan Spirit Sword, the Guanghua Treasure Jian, these two divine realm treasures, and the Xuanxue Treasure Horse, may all be induced by the sword power of the Heavenly Sword Emperor. So, apart from a mental method engraved on the stone door, what can this mysterious person who calls himself a sword demon bring me?
