Chapter 19: The Devil's Trail (3)
"Human, why do you hide in the dark and pretend to be a ghost, you killed my brother, and you know the secret of this Demon Venerable, how can this Demon Venerable let you leave the Demon Suppression Tower alive!"
With this cold, tyrannical voice, another monster with two horns and wings appeared in front of Yunxiao, the only difference between this one and the previous one was that this guy was one size bigger than the previous one.
"A little demon venerable, he is also arrogant in front of the old man!"
Yunxiao didn't know where to hear an old man's voice, just as he was looking around in a daze, an old man the size of a fist floated out of him, and as soon as the little old man landed, he turned into a fairy-like figure with a fairy wind and bones.
The Demon Venerable Demon King of the Mixed World looked at the human old man with a strange aura in front of him, and suddenly shouted: "Taiyi Destroy the Demon Venerable!" turned around and was about to flee, but he heard a sentence in his ear: "As the Demon King of the Mixed World, your demon soul is not bad, and the old man will accept it unceremoniously!"
The old man seemed to be just talking to people about the short gossip of his parents, not facing a powerful Demon Venerable, only to see him waving a robe sleeve lightly, and the Demon King of the Mixed World was sucked in front of him.
"Please spare my life, Ancestor!" In the face of the plea of the Demon King of the Mixed World, the old man's demeanor did not change at all, he just opened his mouth and swallowed the dignified Demon King of the Mixed World. Yunxiao was stunned when he saw this scene, in his spare time when the master taught him the Five Elements Spell, he once told him some rumors about the monk world, compared to all kinds of big demons, the real demon is the great enemy of human beings, and all kinds of different forms of demons will bring great disasters to human beings once they appear.
"Little baby, since you have seen the old man, it can be regarded as you and I are destined!" The old man looked at Yunxiao and hesitated, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Little baby, according to the convention, anyone who sees the true face of the old man, whether it is a person, a demon or a ghost, there is only one way to die, I think you have helped the old man one after another, the old man can't do ungrateful things, I will give you three choices!"
Yunxiao looked at the dignified old man, and suddenly asked first: "Old man, when did I help you, I don't know you?"
The old man did not respond to Yunxiao's question, but continued: "You are not qualified to know who I am now, the first choice I give you is to accept the old man's cultivation and do three things for me; the second choice is to let me devour your soul and occupy your body, and from now on there will be no more you in this world; the third choice is to let the old man leave, but you have to swear not to tell anyone about seeing me!"
Yunxiao heard the three choices that the old man gave him, thinking back and forth in his heart, these three questions are not so easy to judge for him who is not very old, and suddenly he thought of the first choice, the old man did not explain the ending of himself and the other party, so he can't choose easily, the second choice is to die, naturally he can't choose, and the third choice seems to be too simple, because the old man said that he wants to repay the favor, so only the first of these three choices seems to be reasonable. Thinking of this, Yunxiao asked again:
"Old man, what will you do if you give me all your skills? Besides, I swear not to reveal your affairs, you will really leave by yourself, and where will you go after leaving?"
When the old man heard Yunxiao's words, he was stunned for a moment, and then he was ecstatic in his heart, but he couldn't see it on his face at all:
"Little baby, you are really troublesome, how can there be so many problems," the old man replied with some dissatisfaction: "Well, it doesn't hurt to tell you, the old man will pass on the cultivation to you, if you don't help the old man fulfill his wishes, he will have a demon attack and die, the old man's three wishes are not so easy to complete;
Yunxiao looked at the old man puzzled, the old man seemed to be a little impatient, and said: "Now the old man gives you the choice of either you die or I die, you think about it, I will give you three days!"
After the old man finished speaking, he immediately disappeared without a trace, and Yunxiao, who had cultivated to a low level, did not know that the old man had entered the body of the falcon. Three days passed quickly, and Yunxiao asked the old man who appeared to think about it for another three days, and after three times, the old man finally couldn't help it:
"What? You still have to think about it for three days, why?"
"I don't want to die, and I don't want you to die!"
When the old man heard Yunxiao's sincere answer, his heart was simply happy, but he pretended to be angry and said:
"Little baby, don't be delusional about delaying time and waiting for your master to come back, you enter my reincarnation path, the time here is much slower than outside, and only a few hours have passed here for 10,000 years, and the old man will not give you so much time to think about it. You have to answer the old man now!"
Faced with the old man's strength, Yunxiao made up his mind and replied: "Old man, I don't want to die, but I don't want you to die either, is there no other way?
"Little baby, if you don't want to die, then only the old man will die, and if I die, you won't be threatened by me, why don't you choose the first path, so that your cultivation in a short period of time will surpass your master;
Yunxiao was a headache in the face of the strange old man, these questions were already beyond the scope of his thinking, he really didn't want to die, but he had to make a decision.
"Old man, I don't want to die because I haven't avenged my mother, I don't want you to die because you saved me, I haven't repaid you yet, and I have the right to live with you, I really don't know how to choose!"
After listening to Yunxiao's explanation, the old man laughed: "The old man has been waiting here for tens of thousands of years, and he has seen many talented people meet the old man by mistake, but he has never met a person like you who has clear grievances and a pure heart!"
The old man faced the blank sky and said something again: "Little baby, you are innocent and kind, and you are the first person I have seen in all these years. To tell you the truth, if you accept the first option, the old man will not hesitate to devour your soul and occupy your body, because you are too greedy, if you choose the second way, I will help you fulfill your wish, but you will no longer exist, if you choose the third way, then I will be embarrassed, the reason is very simple, you did help me, I can't kill you ungratefully, and I don't want to die here or outside!"
Yunxiao heard the old man's explanation, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, he finally didn't have to die, but the problem still didn't seem to be solved, which made him a little confused.
How should Yunxiao and the old man choose, who will live and who will die?
