Chapter 373 Wake up!
The rain was getting worse, Nian Sui was walking alone on the mountain road, his long black hair was soaked by the rain, and it fell down in a mess.
Seventy years of the past lingered in his mind, making the gray mist in the depths of his eyes even thicker.
In a trance, the gray-white phantom of the three-foot long sword reappeared.
Suddenly, his feet were empty, he stepped into a mud puddle, and Nian Sui fell straight to the side of the cliff, rolling down with his body covered in mud and water.
Heart-piercing pain came from the limbs and bones, and Sui Sui closed his eyes in a daze, his remaining consciousness was completely submerged in the darkness.
...
"Why do you practice?"
"To know the truth."
"What's the use of knowing the truth? The world is vast, the number of sentient beings is immeasurable, manpower is sometimes poor, how can tiny beings compete with the number of days?"
"To know the truth."
"evil creature!"
"To know the truth."
After hearing the third sentence, "In order to know the truth", the questioning voice paused, and the tone changed a little.
"Even if you hear the truth in the morning and die in the evening, are you willing?"
"willing."
"Even if your body is broken into pieces and your soul is shattered, are you willing?"
"willing."
"Even if you perish for countless calamities, the true spirit is annihilated, and you die for it, are you willing?"
"willing."
...
In the pitch-black void, Nian Sui slowly opened his eyes, and what came into view was a handsome young man in a grosgrain robe woven with brocade and blue cloud patterns.
The beautiful young man closed his eyes tightly, and there was a gray-white long sword by his side. The sword was stuck in the cliff under his feet, emitting a pale white gleam.
"It turns out that I am you, but you are not me."
Nian Sui looked at him quietly with a wry smile on his face.
When he got closer, Nian Sui looked down at the dim long sword, and said, "Ji Yuenian, thank you for allowing me to exist in this world and to live this life completely."
"But I still have regrets after all..."
Nian Sui sat down on his knees, thinking of the figure who silently accompanied him.
"I would rather treat myself as a hunter in the mountains. If so, I can spend this life with her in a normal way."
"Ji Yuenian, I was born because of you, but I am different from you. I..."
Nian Sui stretched out his fist, hammered hard at the gray ground, gritted his teeth and said, "I'm not willing!"
The gray-white long sword trembled slightly, and a icy blue halo condensed out, lying across Nian Sui's neck.
Guardian of the Excalibur.
If the age gives up enlightenment and return to the original, this sword can only obliterate it forcibly, and then cut off a trace of soul, and continue to wait for the awakening of the reincarnation of the first life.
Nian Sui didn't care about this icy blue sword light at all, but raised his head and laughed, laughing wildly, until tears flowed.
After a long while, he coughed a few times, stopped laughing, and looked at the silent gray long sword: "You are very loyal, don't worry, I will return my understanding to my soul, although I am full of regrets. After living this life, you are somewhat proud, so you don't need to use such means to humiliate me."
The gray-white long sword let out a buzzing sound, and dispersed the ice-blue sword light.
Nian Sui struggled to stand up, walked to the long sword, glanced sideways at Ji Yuenian, who closed his eyes tightly, and said, "I was born because of you, and I will die because of you. I have no resentment in my heart. I just have some pity for you. If you want to go on this path of seeking the Tao, the only thing left in the end is loneliness."
His hand slowly gripped the hilt of the sword.
The light bloomed.
The gray-white stone shell is cracked inch by inch, and the blazing white light is reflected from the cracks.
After a few breaths, all the stone shells were scattered and scattered, and what Nian Sui held in his hand was a three-foot long sword as white as ice and snow.
Luoxue Excalibur.
Holding the snow sword, Nian Sui casually drew a sword flower, and his figure gradually became unreal.
Countless light spots escaped from his body and fell into the Luoxue Excalibur, and through the connection between the true spirits, the Luoxue Excalibur sent these densely packed light spots to Ji Yuenian's sleeping soul.
For hundreds of years, Ji Yuenian has been lonely and indifferent since he was a child, and has never really experienced anything in the mundane world. Although his state of mind is extremely high, he has a faint sense of understanding, and he has never been able to truly achieve perfection.
He has the "Prajna Heart Sutra" to protect his soul, but his cultivation level is still eroded by the "Bone and Skull Technique" performed by the hollow body, precisely because his state of mind has never been perfect.
Luoxue Excalibur split a trace of its origin from its soul, and sent it to Weiyuan Mountain and Sea on the far western edge of the North Sea, in order to understand the emotions that Ji Yuenian lacked.
During the flowing of the brilliant light, all the comprehension and experience of the years have been brought into the depths of Ji Yuenian's soul, making his mental state gradually become more perfect.
...
"Princess!"
The figure of the black-robed creature appeared distorted, with an extremely anxious expression.
Princess Hanchi leaned on the luxurious jade couch, enjoying the hard-working service of the handsome young man under her skirt, squinting her eyes comfortably, looking sideways at the black-robed creature outside the hall, and said, "What's the matter... ah... ...why are you so panicked?"
The black-robed creature took a peek at the person crouching under the dress of Princess Hanchi, then quickly withdrew its gaze, and said anxiously: "The empress of Jinsheng Palace ordered the princess to rush to the imperial city of the Demon Kingdom immediately."
"Okay, I'll... ah... get out!"
Princess Hanchi groaned coquettishly, stretched out her bare slender white jade toes, and kicked the young man under her skirt aside.
The black-robed creature sighed, took out a blood-red edict from his sleeve, and said, "Princess..."
When Princess Hanchi saw the edict, his expression immediately became a lot more solemn. He stood up from the jade couch, and took the blood-red edict with one hand.
A moment later, Princess Hanchi gritted her teeth hard, with gloomy eyes, said: "Clean up this place for me, and I will go to the imperial city of Yao Kingdom immediately."
After saying this, she scattered into light spots all over the sky and disappeared into the hall.
The black-robed creature stood up, walked to the side of the kneeling young man, and said, "Raise your head."
The boy raised his head tremblingly, his face was pale, but he was very handsome.
The black-robed creature looked at the fragrant nectar remaining between his brows and hair, with a trace of envy in his eyes, and said: "You deserve it to die under the skirt of the princess."
A black light condensed out from between the fingers, and pressed on the boy's heavenly spirit without hesitation.
...
The imperial city of Zhuzi Demon Kingdom, Jinsheng Palace.
Chaotian Temple.
"A bunch of trash!"
Empress Jin Shenggong threw the jade slip in her hand to the ground hard, her eyes were extremely cold.
Many creatures were kneeling on the ground with their heads lowered, and no one dared to speak.
Before half a stick of incense, Ji Yuenian, who was suppressed in the demon prison, suddenly disappeared without leaving a trace.
For decades, under the confinement of the "Bone and Skull Technique", his imperial blood has already been stripped away. In recent days, Princess Qingyue is trying to find out the supernatural spells in her soul.
