On the mountain, Xuan Tong's roaring roar startled the birds and beasts all over the mountain, and they scurried away in panic.
The woman named "Qian'er" was sobbing silently with a pitiful look on her face.
"If you want to follow, just follow."
"If you can't keep up with me, I won't stop and wait for you!"
After saying that, Xuan Tong raised his sword again and set out on the road.
Qian'er was overjoyed and opened her eyes happily, but there was no trace of Xantong in front of her eyes.
A few months later.
"My dear friend, where are we going?"
"have no idea."
"My benefactor, do you want to go home?"
"I don't have a home."
"Then we're just going to walk around here aimlessly?"
"Um."
Of these two people, one is as cold as ice and the other as passionate as fire.
One question, one answer.
But no matter how ruthless and indifferent Xuan Tong was, Qian'er maintained her enthusiasm and original intention, and followed Xuan Tong closely, almost never leaving.
When they were tired, the two of them found two branches in the mountains to rest.
When she was thirsty and hungry, Qian'er went to the forest to pick wild fruits and catch game.
After several months of getting along, Xuan Tong didn't seem to be as resistant to Qian'er as before, but he couldn't say he had any good impressions.
One day, in a certain mountain forest.
Qian'er skillfully peeled and rinsed the collected game meat and put it on the grill.
Xuan Tong sat aside and practiced cross-legged.
Not long after, Xuan Tong smelled delicious food, silently opened his eyes and looked at the game on the shelf.
Qian'er said with a smile: "My dear, don't be impatient, it will be fine in a while."
Xuan Tong didn't say anything, and sat aside like a piece of ice.
"My benefactor has often mentioned a name these days."
"Qian'er can ask, who is the man named 'Lin Bai' from my benefactor?"
During these few months of getting along, Qian'er often heard the word "Lin Bai" from Xuan Tong's mouth.
It seems that in Xuan Tong's heart and memory, except for this person's name, he can no longer remember other people's names.
"Lin Bai..." Xuan Tong heard the name, and his numb and cold expression trembled slightly. After a long time, he lowered his eyes and said lonely: "He is my enemy and an old friend of mine for many years."
Qian'er's big eyes were full of doubts: "What is an enemy and an old friend?"
Xuan Tong closed his eyes and sneered: "He and I are very complicated."
Qian'er asked: "Then where is he? Is my benefactor going to find him?"
Xantong said calmly: "He is dead."
After saying that, Xuan Tong leaned against the tree trunk, closed his eyes to rest, and ignored Qian'er.
It seems that I can no longer be interested in the delicious food on the grill.
Qian'er also felt that she seemed to have made Xuan Tong unhappy, so she did not dare to say any more and concentrated on roasting the game.
I just hope that after the game is cooked, Xuan Tong can taste the delicious food and forgive her for her recklessness.
But every once in a while.
Xantong suddenly opened his eyes and looked towards the sky with a sharp look.
The sudden burst of momentum from Xuan Tong scared Qian'er's face to the point of turning pale.
Especially when Qian'er saw a coquettish flower blooming quickly in Xuan Tong's eyes.
In the stamen, there is a smiling face that looks like crying but not crying, and looks like smiling but not smiling.
"My dear friend, your eyes...your eyes have blossomed."
Qian'er screamed in surprise.
But Xuan Tong ignored Qian'er. He looked up blankly at the sky and looked beyond the sky.
On a cold and heartless face, a smile slowly formed at the corner of his mouth.
It was a...happy smile.
Qian'er was stunned. In the past few months of getting along, she had never seen such a smile on Xuan Tong's face.
The smile on Xuan Tong's face is usually a smile of ridicule, sarcasm, sneer, and contempt.
I have never seen such a happy smile.
"He's alive!"
Xuan Tong smiled for a while and said.
"Who?" Qian'er asked confused.
"Lin Bai, he's still alive!" Xuan Tong laughed heartily: "I knew...he wouldn't die that easily!"
Qian'er asked in surprise: "Didn't my benefactor say he was dead?"
Xuan Tong closed his eyes and said with a smile: "I feel him... I feel his anger, his despair, his anger, his pain... This feeling is exactly the same as it was on the ancient continent.
"
"Long time no see, Lin Bai."
"Hahahaha." Xuan Tong said at the end, looking up to the sky and laughing: "The devil is planted in the heart of the Dao, the devil is planted in the heart of the Dao, how can you just kill it if you just say it?"
"As long as you are not dead, as long as you have not become an immortal, as long as you still have seven emotions and six desires, as long as you are still a human being, as long as you still have humanity... you will never be able to kill the demon in your heart."
Qian'er huddled up at the side, frightened by the demonic aura emanating from Xuan Tong, and she was so frightened that she didn't dare to speak.
…
In Jiuqu City, Lin Bai was arbitrarily activating the power of the Heaven-Swallowing Dao Fruit.
The devouring power swept through Jiuqu City like a storm.
"Kill! Kill kill kill kill kill!"
"kill!"
"Kill them all!"
In the storm formed by the devouring power, Lin Bai's eyes turned red with blood, like a wild beast.
Lin Bai didn't know how long he had been arrogant in Jiuqu City, until the last trace of spiritual power in Lin Bai's body was exhausted, all the energy in his body was exhausted, he fell on the street, and fell asleep in a daze.
The violence, pain, madness... and many other auras in his body dissipated as he fell asleep.
After falling asleep, Lin Bai had a long dream.
In the dream, he returned to Mangu Continent, and returned to Bai Xiaoxiao, Jian Ruohan, and Ye Suxin.
Chatting and drinking with Yin Jiuling, Hu Qi, Aning and others.
At the end of the dream, Lin Bai walked into a vast white space.
In that space, there is an old crooked-necked tree covered with red leaves.
Under the tree, a white-haired man was watching him walking step by step with a smile.
"I never thought I could dream of you."
"unlucky."
Lin Bai walked to the tree angrily and sat down against the trunk.
"I miss you very much."
Xuan Tong said with a smile.
Lin Bai closed his eyes and said nothing, enjoying the tranquility of this moment.
"You seem to be in pain and despair?"
Xuan Tong was silent for a long time and then asked.
Lin Bai sneered: "What? Do you still care about me?"
Xuan Tong said: "I am the incarnation of your evil thoughts. If you die, I will not be able to live."
Lin Bai said: "I have cut you out of my body. You are no longer my evil thoughts. You are an independent creature in this world."
Xuan Tong smiled and said: "Then look at your eyes, what is that?"
Lin Bai slowly opened his eyes, and a mirror appeared out of thin air in this space, appearing in front of Lin Bai.
Lin Bai was stunned when he saw his pale face in the mirror and the magic flowers blooming quietly in his eyes.
"This...how is it possible? I have clearly cut off the magic flower."
Lin Bai said in disbelief.
"If the demon inside the Taoist heart can be pulled out so easily, then it won't be called the world's most forbidden demonic method." Xuan Tong sneered and said: "Lin Bai, you have to live well, I will
Came to find you."
Lin Bai shook his head repeatedly: "Impossible! I clearly cut you out of the body with my own hands, and cut the magic flower out of the body with my own hands...how could it be...how could it be possible..."
Xuan Tong smiled and said: "Sometimes, the things you see with your own eyes may not be true; sometimes, the things you have experienced personally may not be true; even, sometimes, everything in this world
, are not necessarily true.”
"Even if you cut the devil flower out of your body with your own hands, the devil seed is still in your heart."
"As long as you relax a little bit, this seed will take root and sprout immediately."
Hearing Xuan Tong's words, Lin Bai's eyes suddenly flashed, and a light flashed through his eyes.
