I don't know when, the old man had already walked in front of Fang Hong, his eyes were cold, and he said to Fang Hong lightly: "Give you another chance to choose, if you give up, I will not only help erase him, but also give you the runes of this level." ”

Fang Hong got up, his expression was still firm, and he said slowly: "Thank you seniors for your kindness, he is my friend." I will never give up on my friends for the sake of profit. After speaking, he picked up the more powerful Tang knife and held it across his chest.

Hearing this, the old man seemed to remember some of the past. His expression softened for a moment, and soon became stern again, and he raised his sword and said, "Another stubborn fellow, since you have made a good choice, then don't blame me for not showing mercy to my subordinates." ”

With that, a stream of golden energy poured out from the Guan Dao, slashing towards Fang Hong's head.

Fang Hong raised the Tang Dao high with both hands, and the source qi and soul power surged out again, and the layers of defense were activated again.

The speed of closing the knife was very slow, and it slowly approached Fang Hong like this.

This knife was not fast, but in Fang Hong's eyes, it was like a mountain pressing down. Under this pressure, Fang Hong's whole body was already soaked with sweat, his face became extremely pale, and even breathing became extremely difficult.

This time's defense was even worse than the last time, as if it was also affected by this pressure, and before it made contact with Guan Dao, a crack had already appeared.

Rainbow shroud, shattered!

Silver mask, shattered!

Golden shield, shattered!

Tang knife, shattered!

Everything was shattered, leaving only Fang Hong, directly exposed to this extremely powerful attack.

Fang Hong's pupils contracted sharply, and the tumbling golden energy rushed towards his face like a giant dragon. The pressure was so great that he stopped breathing, and a feeling of powerlessness rose in his heart.

"It's over!"

This was the only thought that could arise in Fang Hong's heart, and he subconsciously closed his eyes, waiting for death to come.

So slow, Fang Hong closed his eyes, but he didn't wait for the knife to fall. He opened his eyes again, only to find that the knife had stayed a millimeter above the tip of his nose when it was about to slash him, and never fell again.

"Whew~"

Fang Hong let out a sigh, his tense nerves relaxed, and his body collapsed to the ground as if he had collapsed.

The old man looked at Fang Hong's performance, laughed proudly twice, kicked Fang Hong's soft body and said, "Hurry up, what does it look like to be soft, men must be hard at any time." ”

Fang Hong slowly stood up, walked in front of the old man, bowed deeply, and said, "Thank you seniors, your subordinates are merciful." ”

The old man waved his hand disapprovingly, and said, "The old man is just old and doesn't want to do too much murder." Hundreds of years earlier, you would have been chopped into meat sauce and fed to fish. ”

Fang Hong smiled slightly, and then asked about resurrecting Su Lie.

The old man waved his hand, and a rattan chair and a small bench appeared on the ground. Then, pointing to the bench, he said, "Sit down and say." With that, he half-lay down on the wicker chair.

Fang Hong moved the small bench and came to the old man's side like a grandson, and listened to the old man tell the story of the year.

"The soul is a very mysterious thing, it has no substance, it is not energy, it cannot be touched. Still, it's real. ”

"The soul can be said to be a person's faith, or will. Those who have strong beliefs and strong willpower will also become strong in their souls and less likely to be destroyed. ”

"What about this friend of mine?" Fang Hong asked, when he crossed over, Su Lie was only a thirteen-year-old child, how strong a child could be.

After listening to Fang Hong's question, the old man glanced at Fang Hong. But Fang Hong had a feeling that it was not him who was looking at him this time, but Su Lie in his body.

"Your friend, he's in a special situation. He didn't have a strong will, and it stands to reason that his soul should have dissipated long ago. And he is still alive now, relying on an obsession. This obsession should be that he still has some unfulfilled wishes!"

Fang Hong nodded, agreeing with the old man's statement. He looked at the old man again and motioned to continue.

The old man took a sip of tea and continued, "If you want to resurrect a person, there are only three known methods. ”

"The first one is the reincarnation technique of the Bone Demon Clan, which is the innate ability of the Bone Demon Clan. But the memories of the resurrection will completely dissipate and will never be recovered. So this method is not going to work for you. ”

"What about the other two?" Fang Hong asked.

"The second one is the god puppet of the god machine clan. They can merge souls with a special kind of puppet. In this way, the resurrected person can have a complete memory, but he will not have a physical body. It's just that the Shenji clan mysteriously disappeared before the battle against demons, and there has been no news for more than three hundred years. ”

Fang Hong's expression was a little excited, the old man said two methods in a row, just like he didn't say it, so he could only pin his hopes on the third method.

"What about the third one?" Fang Hong asked anxiously.

The old man shook his head and said, "The third one is even more ethereal. Legend has it that there is an artifact that can infuse a person's soul into a dead body and bring it back to life. But this is just a legend, and no one knows whether it is or not. ”

After Fang Hong listened to the third method that the old man said, his eyes lit up, but then it dimmed again. The third method is true, which he has personally experienced. But what can this be, he can, it doesn't mean that Su Lie can, after all, the legendary artifact didn't fall into his hands.

The old man looked at Fang Hong's languishing appearance, sighed, and continued: "Actually, what you have to face now is not the problem of resurrecting your friend, but the question of whether he can continue to exist. ”

Stay there!

A bad premonition shrouded Fang Hong's heart, and he asked in a slightly trembling voice, "Senior, what does this mean." ”

The old man sighed again and said, "As I said earlier, your friend's situation is very special. The reason why his soul is immortal after death is not because he has a strong will, but because of his obsession. Although this obsession can keep his soul immortal for the time being, it is difficult to say if it is too long. ”

"I think your friend can last for four years at most, and if there are some spiritual objects that can nourish the soul, it can be longer. These also have to ensure that his obsession is always there, if one day he suddenly wants to open and the obsession subsides, that is when he dissipates. ”

After Fang Hong listened to what the old man said, his heart sank. He originally wanted to resurrect Su Lie, but now that he thinks about it, it's really a fool's dream. He was now even a problem with preserving Su Lie's soul, let alone resurrection.

What is Su Lie's obsession, Fang Hong couldn't be clearer, it is the revenge of destroying the door. Fang Hong has also been looking for the murderer of his parents for Su Lie for so many years. It took a lot of effort to do this, but nothing was found. Now Fang Hong is a little lucky, glad that he didn't find the murderer. If the murderer died, Su Lie's obsession would naturally be gone, and the consequences would be conceivable.

Fang Hong's face was gloomy, and he now felt that he was in a dilemma. Helping Su Lie find the murderer is tantamount to harming Su Lie. If the murderer is not found deliberately, Su Lie will not be able to die for the time being, and he will definitely live in the shadow of hatred. Is it just for him to be surrounded by hatred for the rest of his years until it dissipates?

Su Lie's problem is like that of a patient who lies in a hospital bed and relies on medicine to keep him alive. Whether to pull out the tube and let him die with dignity, or let him live in pain for a few more years. Now Fang Hong is like a family member standing beside the hospital bed, making a difficult choice between the two options.

Fang Hong never thought that when he crossed over to the other world, he would actually face this kind of problem. When he was on Earth, he faced this kind of problem. It was his father, Fang Hong looked at his father in pain through the glass window. After making a difficult choice, he chose to give his father dignity when he was eight years old.

Now he is seventeen years old, much more mature than the naïve child he was back then. But when faced with this problem again, he still didn't know how to choose.

"What to do! What to do......" Fang Hong lowered his head deeply as if he was enchanted, and kept muttering these words in his mouth. Suddenly, as if he thought of something, a fine light appeared in his eyes, he raised his head, looked at the old man with a hopeful gaze and said, "Senior, you must have another way!"

The old man saw Fang Hong's pain, he patted Fang Hong's shoulder and said, "There is indeed a way. ”

"What!" Fang Hong asked as if he had grasped a life-saving straw.

The old man glanced at the Guan Dao poked on the ground, and slowly spit out two words.

"Horcruxes!"
