“You little girl is too impatient. Just now, you took action before I finished speaking, and you even had murderous intentions. If you are not allowed to suffer some hardships, no one will be able to cure you after another ten years of cultivation. Won’t you become a devil in the world?”
Seeing that he didn't seem to have any ill intentions, Yao Yue breathed a sigh of relief and, at the same time, felt a little worried on her face. She snorted and said nothing.
"My test is not a fight, it is an illusion in the world of desire. Before passing through the illusion, you cannot do without this soul-devouring tower. When you are ready, blow out this ever-burning lamp. I will wait for you two directly on the top floor.”
He turned to look at Jiang Mi again. "Master's time is running out, and we can't wait too long."
The young man nodded, and Ku Ming smiled slightly.
"Master believe you can come out." After saying that, he rose into the air and disappeared in an instant.
She slowly approached the Buddha statues, and it turned out that they were the four heavenly kings of the realm of desire. Dhritadhisattva, Zengyang, Guangmu, and Duowen. The face of the Buddha's head is made of green stone and has many natural cracks. It seems that it has experienced many years of wind and rain, and even moss marks can be seen in the cracks. She vaguely felt that these Buddha statues were different from those in the Great Freedom Hall. After taking a closer look, she discovered that each of the four heavenly kings had their pupils looking down, as if they were looking at them.
I heard that people who came to get the Book of Heavenly Stars went crazy and died, probably because of this illusion. Ku Ming is so powerful, this illusion is definitely full of dangers. Then I remembered the boast I had made when I was looking for Jiang Mi, saying that I would ensure his safety, and I couldn't help but feel a little guilty.
"Sorry, I was too conceited. I didn't expect this time to be so dangerous."
The young man was stunned and waved his hands hurriedly. "No, I came with the fairy voluntarily." As if he was afraid that she wouldn't believe it, he emphasized again, "I do."
Seeing this, the girl's expression changed, and she smiled.
"I told you, call me Yaoyue from now on."
This smile was slow and slow, and the pale red lips under the candlelight made people feel an indescribable feeling.
"Yao Yue." His voice trembled slightly, he only shouted once on his lips, but he shouted a dozen times in his heart.
This name is really nice, worthy of a fairy.
"The fantasy land we are going to soon will be very dangerous. But I have a way to keep both of us alive as much as possible. Are you willing to give it a try?"
Jiang Mi nodded immediately.
"I saw a spell in the book collection of Xingji Pavilion before, called Soul Contract. Both parties who make the contract can use their own blood and mana to resurrect the other party." She took a few steps closer and placed her hand on the Dantian of his lower abdomen.
"If you are willing, I will start chanting the incantation."
She was so close that she could smell each other's scent. He has the quiet plum blossom scent of the ointment mixed with his own woody aroma, and it smells very good. The young man smelled the cold fragrance on her body, his face turned red, and he said "yes" shyly.
Yao Yue no longer hesitated, put her other hand on her Dantian, and while chanting a mantra, she sent a stream of spiritual energy into the purple mansions on both sides and engraved the ancient mantra. Jiang Mi felt the same numbing feeling slowly rising from his tailbone again. He had to bite his finger and use the pain to remind himself not to lose his composure, like last time.
"Okay," the soul contract was established. The girl let out a sigh of relief and took his hand to the dim, ever-burning lamp. "Let's get started."
In the Soul-Eating Tower, the last light source went out.
The thick black mist swallowed up the two of them in an instant, as if the night had suddenly fallen. The ground beneath my feet suddenly became hot, like a swamp or magma. In addition to being hot, there was only suffocating darkness. As soon as you stop, your body will slowly sink, and you can only keep moving forward with no place to stop. Although the two of them were holding hands, they could not touch him at all now. Her feet gradually became too heavy for her to move forward. She was terribly tired but did not dare to stop. She did not know where the road ahead led to and continued this numb trek.
Just when she felt that she was about to lose her strength, light suddenly lit up in front of her eyes, and the scorching sun hit her face with rolling heat waves. Underfoot is an endless desert, and the sand and dust in the distance are gradually approaching, like countless people and horses galloping from the horizon. Only then did she come back to her senses and find that the two of them were still walking hand in hand.
Jiang Mi was not in good condition either. He had obviously suffered the same thing as her. His eyes were bloodshot, and his lips were pale and dry, as if he were extremely thirsty. In front of them was a huge ancient well that was two feet square and three meters wide in the horizontal direction. The walls were covered with moss, with jumbled rocks piled up and mottled water stains several feet high. The well water is so clear and transparent that the water level is so high that you don’t even need a bucket to fish it out. You can drink it just by bending down.
Yao Yue swallowed her saliva, only to feel that her mouth was filled with gravel and dust. The sharp dust had made the mucous membrane in her mouth sore, creating a strong, sweet smell.
I really want to drink water.
She struggled to get away from this thought and said hoarsely to the people next to her, "You can't drink this water. Let's find a way to leave first."
This is the illusion of the world of desire, where all desires are tests. Indulging in this will lead to madness or death.
Jiang Mi nodded. They had a very tacit understanding and did not separate. They were afraid that they would fall into different illusions if they were not careful, and they vaguely regarded each other as some kind of support.
The two of them searched around here for a long time, but their physical strength did not allow them to go further, so they walked around and returned to the well.
At this time, there was just a ticking sound, and a tiny drop of water dripped from the stone wall and hit the water, as if to remind them that there was water to drink here. But her focus is different.
The water surface had no ripples at all.
She picked up a stone on the ground and threw it over. This time it was even more obvious, not even a slight ripple was produced.
This well is not water.
"Cover your mouth and jump in."
The water was above her head, and after a brief suffocation, she finally felt that her feet were on solid ground.
This is a tall and gorgeous palace, with jade pillars and golden courtyards, and Yao steps and green sills. Hanging around
The beautiful brocade is slightly cool, silky, and soft when it slides over the cheeks with the wind. Her right hand was empty, and the person next to her was nowhere to be seen, and her heart skipped a beat.
Yao Yue had the courage to lift the overlapping curtains, and the sight in front of her was astonishing. There are countless rare treasures, none of which are priceless. The gemstones are clear and bright, and inlaid with gold and silver wires, they are luxurious and elegant. The pearls are flowing. You can tell at a glance that they are rare and top-grade. The rings, bracelets, arm bracelets, necklaces, earrings, forehead ornaments, and waist ornaments are all complete, and their value is enough to rival other countries. There are all kinds of pearls, emeralds, toys, calligraphy, and paintings of various colors in the box, adding a bit of color to the already very luxurious brocade.
She secretly smacked her tongue. It's a good thing that Zhang Chi's guy didn't come, otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to get out.
There are several layers of curtains surrounding these treasure chests. When opened, there is a square table made of ebony and gold, with fine wines, delicacies, fairy mushrooms, and fruits all available. Unfortunately, these things are not very useful to her, who has already gone without food. However, she was a little worried about Jiang Mi. The boy was tall and looked like he could eat a lot.
When she entered the next cubicle, her eyes finally changed.
The eighteen weapons were lined up one after another, and there were many sect-protecting treasures. After just a cursory glance, she saw the Thousand Machine Fan of Xingyuan, the ancient relics of Miaoyin Sect, and the Shennong Cauldron of Yaowang Valley waiting for her to turn her attention. When I moved to the raised white jade platform in the center of the hall, my soul was shocked.
A long sword stood prominently on the white-jade platform. The shape of the sword was long and simple, and the sword was surrounded by a sharp sword light, with an indifferent light and shadow that looked down on all living beings. She would never mistake the four small seal characters on the hilt of the sword.
Emperor's Heavenly Sword!
In an instant, Yao Yue's palms were filled with wet sweat, and there was a buzzing sound in her ears, like the whisper of an evil spirit that lingered.
Go get it and become its new owner.
Take it, and you will be the best in the world.
The legs seemed to move on their own, and they moved faster and faster, almost running towards that place in a sprint. Just when she was about to touch the hilt of the sword, someone stretched out a strong arm and hugged her from behind.
The girl's consciousness became blurred. Thousands of desires surged up and down in her mind, and a hazy murderous intention arose out of nowhere. Her eyes were red, as if possessed by a demon, she was struggling and kicking wildly, lowering her head and biting the man's arm across her chest, and the salty taste of blood filled her mouth. The person behind her groaned in pain, but no matter how hard she kicked, he still held her and carried her away with his two arms, refusing to let go.
Realizing that she couldn't break free no matter what, her blood-red eyes were filled with moisture. She looked back at the sword and cried loudly like a child who had lost a toy for the first time, as if she wanted to pour out her entire life's sorrow here. Unload empty. It wasn't until she could no longer see the sword that she finally stopped crying, and her eyes turned from red to black.
The girl's throat was stinging from the hoarseness she had just made, and her mouth was filled with the taste of rust. There was heat gushing out of his eyes, and he shed tears like he was waking up from a big dream, and he mumbled in a daze.
"Jiang Mi..."
"Yao Yue," the man heard the sound and gently put her down, still holding his hand on her waist.
"Are you awake?"
"Yeah," she responded vaguely, her eyes falling on the two rows of deep tooth marks on his left arm, where traces of blood were still seeping out. Her brows furrowed, and she bit her lower lip fiercely.
She really wanted to kill him just now.
Jiang Mi looked at her with tears still hanging from the corners of her eyes. He felt a suffocating feeling coming from his heart, as if he were wrapped in a slippery snake. He couldn't help but stretch out his hand to smooth her eyebrows little by little, which were covered with thin calluses. His fingers trembled slightly.
"It doesn't hurt. Just wake up, and you'll be fine."
She stood there in a daze, her heart seemed to be tugged by something, and a wave of heat surged through her instantly, like a soldering iron, making her heart feel hot. The trembling and unspeakable emotions swayed and spread in the chest, astringent, green, and indescribably soft.
She had never seen anyone like Jiang Mi.
Although you are as weak as a lamb, you still feel sorry for a wolf with fangs.
A completely different person from her.
The master said that she was born to be the best in the world. She agreed and enjoyed it. There is only one rule for the whole nature she founded, which is that everyone should live for themselves, abandon all shackles of nurture, and pursue their true nature. For the Immortal Alliance, which has many secular rules, her sect is an evil sect. In the past five years, as many people have called her Fairy Chiyu, even more people have called her Baili Demon Girl.
Ku Ming was right. Her temperament needed to be disciplined urgently. It only took five years from not harming anyone's life when she came out of the mountain to returning tenfold to those who tried to harm me.
She put away her complicated emotions and put on a smile.
"You're really awesome. I thought you wouldn't be able to walk around the dinner table."
"Dining table?"
Jiang Mi was surprised.
"I didn't see anything except you."
Hearing this, the girl felt as if she had been struck by lightning, her slender body trembled suddenly, and she looked stiffly into those clear and deep phoenix eyes, with an extremely weird expression on her face.
"What's wrong?"
He looked at her with confusion and embarrassment, and the hand that was originally holding her waist tightened slightly.
She felt like her ears were on fire, and her face was a mixture of absurdity and embarrassment, as well as a little bit of indescribable shyness. She brushed his hand away and whispered, "Idiot," and walked forward on her own.
