Huolian put his hands in front of him and stood upright and elegantly two or three meters away from Xiaolan. After listening to her words, he pursed his lips and smiled.
"I want to see you."
so……
Was that voice talking to Huolian just now?
Xiaolan immediately hugged the Panlongchi in her hand and turned sideways to face her.
"You don't have to worry," Huolian's eyes moved down, and when he saw Panlongchi, his eyes brightened for a moment, "I'm very worried about my child."
"Your child?"
Xiaolan glanced at Panlongchi.
Is she referring to Panlongchi? Or herself? It's best to be Panlongchi, otherwise it will be too...
Huolian nodded slowly, "I am also your child."
Xiaolan quickly raised her head and took half a step back decisively.
"What do you mean?"
"Do you remember that choice?"
Huolian did not move, but Xiaolan felt that her hot gaze seemed to be closer to her.
"Remember, you said that after you finish telling your story, you will let me make a choice by myself," Xiaolan said, "Have you finished telling your story?"
"My story is finished."
"But there's still a lot I don't understand."
"Those..." Huolian's eyes seemed to have a touch of black, "are your stories."
Xiaolan frowned, "What?"
"Your choice is," Huolian's chin retracted slightly, and a pair of pupils firmly captured Xiaolan, "Become me."
silence.
There was not a sound, and what I heard was complete silence.
After more than ten seconds, Xiaolan's steps swayed, and the sound of the friction of clothing finally woke up his ears.
"...What about the other option?"
Since it is a multiple-choice question, there must be at least two options, right?
"The other option is..." Huolian sighed, "You will never be able to leave here."
"emmm..." Xiaolan raised her chin, pretending to be deep in thought, "It's really hard to choose. I have no choice. I'll choose the second one."
Huolian's face trembled.
"Did you not understand what I said?"
"No, I understand," Xiaolan spread her right hand with a helpless tone, "Isn't it that, either I can stay here forever, or we can stay here together, of course I will choose the second one, do you want me to
Are you in trouble alone?"
Impeccable logic.
Huolian did not show the expected angry expression, but narrowed her eyes with satisfaction as if she had read Xiaolan's inner thoughts through these words.
"I seem to understand why it is you."
Xiaolan held Panlongchi with one hand and said with a broken face, "Then please explain in detail, I don't understand."
Huolian tilted her head slightly to the right, and the black hair on her temples danced beside her pale cheeks, "Guess where I got my strength?"
Xiaolan crossed her arms and reviewed Huolian's life in her mind.
"Because...the oppression of the villagers inspired your potential? The love for your husband?..."
Huolian shook his head and looked at her tenderly.
"I didn't have any power then."
Xiaolan answered quickly, "I understand, it's your child. Didn't he light the fire?"
At that time, it was the rice bucket that dropped the baby's skeleton in the box to the ground, which caused the big fire.
"That's my child's power, not mine." Huolian stretched out her right hand and pointed at her with her snow-white fingers, "I have power because you were born."
Birth?
The disdainful expression on Xiaolan's face suddenly stopped.
"What is my birth?" Her pupils dilated, "Do you know about me?"
Huolian did not answer Xiaolan's question directly, but put her hands behind her back and slowly told another part of her life in her calm, flowing tone.
"I escaped from the fire and started roaming in the mountains. I didn't have any power, but I knew that I was no longer a normal person. I didn't know how long I had been roaming. I didn't meet anyone, and nothing happened.
Anything, but that day, I felt the power, that power came from the bottom of the mountain, that power came from you."
"I……"
"From then on," Huolian's eyes flickered, "I became who I am now."
"I...you..." Xiaolan was a little incoherent, "What power are you referring to? It's...because I..."
"Everything," Huolian spread his arms, "Everything on the mountain, everything that has happened so far, is thanks to you. I am not the source, you are the source."
"Are you kidding me?"
Confusion turned to anger, Xiaolan's breathing became heavy, she waved one hand and shouted.
"Everything you are curious about now, the resurrected dead, the evil traditions, yes, they are all your own power, even the immortality I promised to Fan Tong..." Fire Lotus paused, "They are all yours."
After listening to Huolian's long words, Xiaolan actually felt a little calmer.
"You're lying to me."
"Whether I lied to you or not, you can confirm it yourself..."
"You are lying to me," Xiaolan said seriously, "I don't even have that kind of power myself."
"Don't you?" Huolian squinted at her, "What do you think about your power?"
"I……"
Of course I can't tell her.
In addition to being good at boxing and kicking, I seem to only be able to copy other people's things, and this kind of copying has great limitations. In fact, after following everyone and seeing the world, I don't think this ability is useful for a long time.
Nothing special.
"You haven't realized it yet," Huolian turned around and said to Xiaolan word by word, "You were born to break the rules."
Destroyer.
He is...destructive...
"I'm not!"
"Don't deny it yet," Huolian continued, "This is not what I said, but what my child said. If you don't believe it, you can ask him."
She pointed at the Panlongchi with her eyes.
Xiaolan's arms stiffened and she quickly hugged Panlongchi tightly, "What do you want to do?"
"Let him out," Huolian's voice suddenly became softer, "ask him and you will know."
"I know what you are planning," Xiaolan began to back away, "After all, you just want to trick me into releasing Zhang Boyin's consciousness, right?"
Huolian sighed helplessly, "Do you have to think so?"
"Your plan is going to fail," Xiaolan arched her back, "I can't let him go, this thing doesn't belong to me."
"You can. To you, it's just another rule to break."
Rules that you break yourself.
Think about it carefully...
"You can hesitate, but I know you will agree in the end," Huolian took three steps closer. "Two years ago, when you passed through my cave, I knew all of your secrets, including yours.
