When we left the barren mountain, the rain did not stop completely. When the white tiger flew into the air carrying the sleepy Taoyao, the strong north wind blew the remaining rain onto her face, and Taoyao felt a little unspeakably cold.
She grabbed the white tiger's hair and turned back to look at the barren mountain. As she expected, as soon as they left the barren mountain, Li Shubai led the people into the cave.
But there was nothing else in the cave except a pool of ghost blood buried in coarse sand.
Most of these people would catch up. Obviously, Lu Li knew it very well, so he took the lead and flew very fast. Several people from the Tao family couldn't help but howl and wished they could tell Lu Li to slow down.
But Lu Li not only didn't slow down, he also walked faster.
The second brother of the Tao family who was closest to Lu Li shouted: "Lu Xianzun, the Tao family is not far away. Lu Xianzun, there is no need to rush. Look at Xiao Yao'er's face pale, I guess he can't stand this speed."
Taoyao wanted to say that she was fine.
Lu Li was so anxious not only to get away from Ren Xiu who was about to catch up, but also for her. The power in her body was draining away rapidly.
The rain blowing on her face became colder and colder, and she felt that her hands would no longer be able to grasp the white tiger's fur. She told herself over and over again that the Tao family was almost here, so she should hold on a little longer.
Suddenly, in this strong endurance, her control over her body suddenly collapsed.
Taoyao slipped down.
In the rapid weight loss, she could see the frightened white tiger swooping towards her, saw Lu Li flying in front turn around sharply, and saw the second brother of the Tao family stretching out his hand to catch her.
But they flew too slowly.
The falling Tao Yao raised the corners of her lips and made a silent self-mockery. It turned out that she died from falling from a high altitude in the end. She just hoped that she wouldn't look too ugly when she was smashed into pulp.
She closed her eyes because she was too tired.
Suddenly, she was hugged by a pair of gentle arms. Before her consciousness was completely stripped away, she heard a familiar soft call: "Taoyao."
"Master..."
"Well, my teacher is here."
She passed out with relief.
When she opened her eyes again, she saw an endless night, so dark that she couldn't see her fingers when she stretched out her hand, as if the entire sky had fallen and covered the earth.
In the darkness, there was a cry. Following the direction of the cry, Taoyao saw the light of the fire, weak and as thick as blood.
Then, she saw a kitten skinned alive by something and thrown into a large oil pan. The cat flopped in the oil pan and made a sharp scream.
After a while, the kitten stopped moving.
The purgatory-like tragic scene made Tao Yao hug herself in fear. More cries rang in her ears. They were not the cries of a living creature, but countless cries mixed together, from old people and men.
, women, children, and even various animals.
The mixed cries composed a despairing and depressing tragedy.
Apart from crying, no other sound could be heard in the pitch-black sky and earth.
Is this hell?
It can only be hell.
It turned out that she really fell to death, and being held by Master was just a hallucination before she died.
"Is it scary?"
"Huh?" Turning around, Tao Yao saw Huang Nu. She was wearing a bloody red dress and sitting on a decaying sycamore tree. "Huang Nu, are you dead too?!"
Huang Nu glared lazily at Taoyao: "I have died once, but you are not dead yet."
"So I'm not dead yet..." Taoyao opened her arms and exhaled heavily.
Since she saw Huang Nu, it means that this is her dream.
Eh? Her dream?
Her dream contained a hell on earth?
Tao Yao raised her eyes to look at Huang Nu. Today's Huang Nu was really strange. She neither expressed regret that she almost died but didn't die, nor did she ridicule her for being stupid.
Huangnu was very quiet, her eyes kept falling on the little lights in the darkness. The expression on her face was very complicated. Is it hatred? Is it pain? Or is it reminiscence?
Tao Yao tried to analyze Huang Nu's mood.
"Is it scary, little demon?" Huangnu repeated her question, and then she answered her question, "I feel very scary."
What's going on with this thing?
Huang Nu didn't care about Tao Yao's surprise. She said to herself: "Thousands of years ago, the gods and human cultivators conspired to slaughter the entire demon world. Whether it was a powerful and invincible big demon or a pitiful little demon that had not yet transformed, as long as it was
Those who caught the eye of the god were beheaded.
The clear river of the demon tribe was dyed blood red overnight. Under the heaven, countless demon tribes knelt down and asked why they were so cruel to the demon tribe?
However, the way of heaven is silent."
As soon as Huang Nu finished speaking, a large cluster of firelight suddenly lit up in the thick darkness. Tao Yao instinctively looked at the firelight. In that sudden cluster of fire, a burned person was rolled up and turned into a fire.
A little demon in human form.
The little demon screamed miserably. By the light of the fire, Tao Yao saw that there were many other little demons. With their pale eyes open, they watched helplessly and desperately as the little demon was burned, and pitifully hugged the shivering one tightly.
Own.
Is this the scene where the demon clan was slaughtered thousands of years ago?
Taoyao was about to ask when she heard a burst of laughter. She opened her eyes wide to see who was laughing. Then, she saw gods and people above the clouds.
Wearing bright clothes, they stood comfortably in the clouds, looking down at the demon clan being slaughtered as if enjoying a good show, and then from time to time they let out cheerful, proud, arrogant, and ruthless laughter.
"This is the final scene of the demon clan being slaughtered a thousand years ago." Huang Nu turned her head and cast a scrutinizing gaze on Taoyao's face, "Taoyao, if you had been them, would you hate them?"
Tao Yao was stunned, Huang Nu had never called her name before, this was the first time.
"Hate." Then she is not them, but she is just a little demon who has never experienced massacre. If what she sees before her is true, she can't help but hate it, because the hatred of genocide is irreconcilable.
However, everything in front of you may not be true.
She didn't know why the Millennium War started.
She didn't know whether the cruel scene in front of her really happened, or whether Huang Nu had tempered it with thousands of years of hatred.
"I hate you too." After saying that, Huang Nu slowly raised her chin and cast her eyes towards the gods and humans in the clouds. Hatred was rampant in her eyes, "For a thousand years, hatred has been like a little bug in my heart.
He gnawed at me day and night.
I told myself over and over again that one day, if there is still a chance, I will be shattered into pieces and never recover, and I will avenge the demon clan."
Taoyao said nothing.
Tao Yao never cared about the monster clan. Even though she was transformed into a sand sculpture, she still regarded herself as a human being and would live to old age and death in a human way.
Can……
In the darkness, the kitten in the big oil pan was fried, and the slender body of the cat floated horizontally on the oil pan. A man fished out the kitten and threw it in front of the trembling little demon who was still alive.
.
"Eat it." Renxiu said.
The little demons gritted their teeth, shook their heads stiffly, and covered their eyes with frightened tears.
The human cultivator drew his sword and threw a shaking little demon into the oil pan. Amidst the crackling sound, the horrified little demons opened their mouths tremblingly and began to hiss and bite their kind.
The cultivators laughed even louder.
Tao Yao hesitated again and again and asked: "Huang Nu, why do gods and humans want to destroy the demon clan?"
"I don't know."
"Eh?"
How ridiculous is it that in such a devastating massacre, the victims did not know why they were massacred until they died?
Huangnu jumped off the dead branch and walked slowly to a few meters away from Taoyao. Then, she looked directly at Taoyao and asked: "Taoyao, do you think that if the demon clan committed a heinous crime?"
Are sins worthy of being punished by gods and humans?"
She couldn't deny that she had such thoughts at the moment when she asked this question.
Huangnu sneered, with Chi Guoguo's sarcasm in her smile: "What is a heinous sin? Did the monsters kill mortals? Or did the monsters kill gods?
Or is it because there is a monster in the monster clan that does all kinds of evil and has committed unforgivable crimes? Even if the monster clan has produced such a big monster, should the monster clan be slaughtered?"
"no."
In ancient times, the crime of sitting together only affected the nine clans. It would be too cruel to kill all the clans, or even to exterminate them, because of a few evil monsters or a few misfortunes.
Even if the monsters commit heinous crimes, they will always be repaid. However, gods and human cultivators never thought of leaving a glimmer of hope for the monsters.
But the so-called sin, more often than not, is just an opposition of positions and racial differences, rather than a real matter of right and wrong. For example, gods hunt demons, and demons kill mortals, which cannot be defined by good and evil.
Within the Three Realms, gods are not born right, and demons are not born wrong.
Even if the demon clan once gave birth to an evil demon who was unforgivable and committed all kinds of evil, causing great harm to the human world, then this demon would be killed, its bones reduced to ashes, and it would never be reincarnated, but this would not offend the entire demon clan.
Huang Nu nodded: "You're right, it can't be like this. But for such a simple reason, no one except the demon clan is willing to think like this. Gods, immortals, humans, demons, and ghosts all think that the demon clan has been destroyed.
It’s your own fault.”
In the darkness, the slaughter of the demon clan by the gods and humans continued. The tearing cries of the demon clan gradually became quieter and slowly turned into silent sobs. With the gods and humans standing in the clouds, they glimpsed the despair of the demon clan.
, laughing louder and more wildly.
"How ridiculous! How ridiculous! How ridiculous -" Huangnu yelled angrily, each sound more heartbreaking than the last. Tears rolled down her face. She curled up her hands tightly, wishing she could kill all the people standing in the clouds.
Gods and humans.
"Huang Nu, why are you telling me this?"
Huangnu wiped away her tears and waved her sleeves lightly. The scene of the monster clan being slaughtered disappeared. In the huge dream, only a withered sycamore tree remained, and Taoyao and Huangnu stood looking at each other under the dead tree.
"Because you saved a ghost."
"What?"
Mockery appeared on Huang Nu's face: "All living beings are equal, which was once a nonsense under heaven. The six races of the Three Realms were never allowed to establish cross-racial intimacy.
However, there are always people who ignore taboos, so ghosts and monsters appear.
Ghosts and demons are neither ghosts nor demons. Whether they are in the ghost world or the demon clan, they are the lowest existence. But today, you saved a ghost and demon without hesitation."
Actually, it’s not without hesitation…
Moreover, she did not save the ghost demon for the sake of saving the ghost demon.
Huang Nu curved her lips and smiled gently at her. Even though Huang Nu was fierce, Tao Yao never denied that she was a great beauty. Today, the beauty smiled, and her beauty was overwhelming.
"Taoyao, I want to swallow your consciousness, become a great demon again, and then personally take revenge on the gods and the world."
"..." So, Huangnu said this to tell her that she wanted to swallow Taoyao's consciousness for the sake of the demon clan, and she should realize it?
Taoyao took half a step back.
"But I decided to change my mind."
"ha?"
The smile on Huang Nu's face deepened: "As long as there is a slight possibility, even if I am destroyed and my body is shattered into pieces, I will die without regrets.
But I know very well that I cannot achieve that possibility, otherwise, thousands of years ago, the demon clan would not have been wiped out. Although I am not that possibility, maybe you are."
Taoyao was so frightened that she took two steps back.
She was threatened by the mountain master to steal the Tao family's demon elixir in order to survive. No matter how difficult the Tao family was, there was only one family, but Huang Nu's request was to kill the gods and the human world on her own. She was crazy.
Is it possible to agree to such a thing?
"Well, Huang Nu, you must have made a mistake."
"No, I don't."
Tao Yao secretly pinched herself, she should wake up, if she continues to talk to Huang Nu, either Huang Nu is crazy, or she is crazy.
"Taoyao, how about we make a deal?"
Don't listen, don't listen, she doesn't want to hear anything.
"I know that you want to become a powerful demon, but the sand sculpture's talent is limited. No matter how hard you try, you cannot become a powerful demon.
But as long as you promise me and are willing to sacrifice everything for the hatred and revival of the demon clan, I will melt myself into your flesh and blood and let you be reborn."
Haha... Pies will fall from the sky, but we can't always let her encounter them.
Besides, for a mere demon pill, she had to shoulder the demon clan and become enemies of the entire human world, even the gods of the Nine Heavens. Is she out of her mind?
She has no intention of looking down on herself, but she must not look down on herself: "Huang Nu, you must be wrong. Otherwise, think about it again? Or maybe I can find a great hero for you who can revive the demon clan?"
"No, it can only be you."
"..." Although she is a time traveler, she really doesn't want to be a savior.
Huang Nu frowned and persuaded in a passionate voice: "Taoyao, you are also a demon. Can't you feel the pain of the demon clan? Look at their despair, can you really bear it?"
Actually, she is not a demon... This chapter has been completed!
