After Failing to Influence the Protagonist

Chapter 27: See you again

Views:

Snow covered the mountains, and the world was desolate with only one person left. The grief was so profound and depressing that even Pei Jing, an outsider, felt sad.

In the picture, the swordsman in white clothes has his head against the blue stone, and every strand of his drooping hair is pale.

The youthful vigor and high spirits have all vanished, leaving only desolation and coldness. There is a soft sigh on the suspension bridge, for the final fate of the clouds over thousands of years.

Pei Jing wanted to reach out his hand to wipe away his tears or give him a hand, but all he touched was a cold wall.

He stared at his hands blankly, thinking: Is this the ending of Pei Yuzhi in the original book

All that is left of the majestic sect is a silent bluestone, the final tombstone, burying the past.

Pei Jing's eyes also became sad. What happened next was so cruel that he didn't even dare to watch.

A desperate battle in front of Wentian Peak, watch him be defeated miserably in front of the world.

Look at him who was once so proud, but now, amid the curses of thousands of people, his cultivation was destroyed, his bones and muscles were pulled out, and he fell into the cave of thousands of ghosts. Look at his last look before he fell into the abyss, his eyes were bloodshot, and the hideous eyes were filled with hatred and murderous intent that could destroy the world, like an evil ghost coming back.

There are bloodstains on Wentian Peak.

The snow and wind stopped.

Pei Jing was unable to come back to his senses for a long time. He was silent for a long time and said in a low voice: "Pei Yuzhi..."

There is very little description about Pei Yuzhi in "Zhu Jian". After reading it, Pei Jing only remembered that he was a selfish hypocrite who would do anything to achieve his goals and harmed his master, and his death did not deserve a pity.

Completely different from the person in the picture.

So, this is not Pei Yuzhi in the original book.

"This should be me." Pei Jing murmured, "It's the fear deep in my heart, the fear that I will eventually follow the path of the original owner."

“My master is gone, my relatives and friends are dead, my meridians are severed, and I fall into darkness forever—will it really come to this?”

The Inner Demon Chamber left by Yunxiao's ancestor is indeed worthy of its reputation.

Even a fictional future made him sad.

But the last time he walked this path, it was not like this. There were only memories of the past, no imaginary future. So is it that the older you get, the more worries you have? Even the inner demons have arisen.

The moment Pei Yuzhi fell into the Cave of Ten Thousand Ghosts, the traces on the wall disappeared into ashes, and the whole world fell into darkness again.

The bell in the inner demon room began to ring again, and cold water flowed under my feet.

Pei Jing felt that the road ahead was gradually opening up, and he should be walking out of the Heart Demon Room. After passing through the corridor, there was a cave, which was also another exit of the Buddha Hall.

Chu Junyu came in before him and has probably already gone out. Didn’t the monster hurt him

Anyway, what about that monster

Pei Jing was just wondering where it was hiding when he suddenly felt the resentment and murderous intent that could destroy the world. He froze, raised his head, and his pupils widened.

After going out.

It's not a mountain room, it's hell.

There was a flash of blood before my eyes.

Ghosts hid in the strong wind, howling wildly. The wind swept across the earth, as if it wanted to tear people apart.

Endless blood mist obscured the sky.

There were flashes of blood, and the few scenes that Pei Jing saw clearly occasionally made him terrified.

On all sides were ferocious monsters with hideous faces and huge mouths with sharp teeth; somewhere in the darkness, poisonous snakes were lurking, thousands of them coiled and twisted together, indistinguishable from each other, densely packed; below were piled up like a mountain of corpses, each one had been bitten to pieces, leaving only foam sticking to the bones.

A mixture of various thick and strange smells, fishy and foul, making people sick.

Pei Jing couldn't stand it after just one look. The atmosphere inside was too dangerous and terrifying. He had never seen such a hellish place. This should be an illusion cast by the monster, but... ... Is there really such a place in the world

But he still had to move forward.

The wind tugging at his ears was torture, and the ghost's piercing laughter could shatter his eardrums. Slowly, he began to hear the sound of snake scales rubbing against each other, which was sticky and strange.

The image of the Snake Mountain suddenly flashed through my mind.

Pei Jing cursed inwardly, quickly lowered his head and closed his eyes, forcing himself to overcome the tingling feeling on his scalp.

Once the fear of an animal is ingrained in your bones, it is difficult to change.

No matter how powerful he was, a harmless little green snake could scare him to death. In the darkness, the whistling of the wind became weaker.

He heard another sound.

Half man dressed as woman, it is hard to tell whether he is male or female.

He was laughing strangely, and I didn't know who he was talking to.

"Do you think you can kill me? I knew it as soon as you entered the secret realm. I hid here just to lure you in. How did you feel in the inner demon chamber of Ancestor Yunxiao? - Hahaha, after this trip, I'm afraid you must be injured and have no chance to fight me."

"Originally I just wanted to kill Pei Yuzhi, but now, I might as well kill you."

Pei Jing suddenly opened his eyes and looked forward.

In the center of hell where space is torn apart and time is twisted, the red clouds and blood mist in the sky twist out a smiling face of a person. The arc at the corner of the mouth is weird and eerie. It is in the air, looking down from above.

The person facing it from a distance was a silver-haired young man, his robes were pure black like thick blood, he was tall and straight, almost blending into the chaotic and violent environment around him. Hearing this, the young man said in a cold and mocking tone: "It's just a demon room. If you pin your hopes on it, you might as well think about how to save your life first."

The smile on his face gradually froze, and then he gnashed his teeth and shouted, "What are you still pretending! We are all the same kind of people. We have walked through that demon room. I don't believe that you are fine now."

It suddenly laughed strangely again: "Look at the surrounding scene, do you find it familiar? I can probe your inner heart and fabricate the most horrifying memories, and you still say that your consciousness is fine now - you will definitely die today!"

After he finished speaking, his face bulged forward and turned into a long snake with horns on its head. It opened its bloody mouth and swallowed everything from above.

The young man's bloodshot eyes were cold, and his tone was indifferent and nonchalant: "By you?"

He stretched out his hand, his fingers slightly bent in the air.

The giant snake formed by the mist twisted and turned as if its throat was stuck, in agony. The bloody figure gradually faded, and when it was about to dissipate, it regrouped into a face and shouted, with a look of hatred and shock: "Impossible! How can you not be troubled by the inner demons?"

The young man smiled playfully: "My inner demon? I don't even know it myself."

The man's face showed an unseen panic: "I entered this secret realm only to kill Pei Yuzhi, not to harm you, so why do you have to kill me?"

The young man said, "I won't kill you. That's fine. You just take me to find your master."

The man looked at him with a distorted and violent face, turned around and wanted to escape, but before he could take even a step, his soul was crushed by an unknown force. After a scream of agony, he exploded and turned into ashes.

The ghost that created the illusion was eliminated, but the illusion still exists.

Pei Jing stood far away and watched, and he probably knew who this person was. That night in the Yunlan Mountains, the red leaves were like weaving, and the man who sent him to the cave. He said that they would meet again, but he didn't expect to see him now.

Suddenly, the silver-haired young man shook, bent down, and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Pei Jing frowned and hesitated for a while, wondering whether he should go out. But he heard the young man's cold and hoarse voice: "Come out."

Pei Jing: ... ... That’s right, this person’s cultivation is much higher than his, he must have known that he was nearby.

The young man walked out of the darkness in a clean white outfit, as transparent as jade. His black hair was tied up with a straw rope, and when he looked over, he was hesitant and tentative: "Are you okay?"

The silver-haired man in black raised his head and looked over.

At a glance, it seems like crossing thousands of mountains and rivers, and transcending life and death.

Pei Jing was shocked by the inexplicable emotion in his eyes and didn't know whether he should go over.

The silver-haired man wiped the blood from the corner of his lips with the back of his hand. The cold light in his eyes disappeared. He put away his sword and slowly stood up.

Seeing that he didn't answer, Pei Jing looked around, thought for a while and said: "I know this place better than you. I'll take you out first. It can be regarded as repaying the favor I did last time." This man's cultivation is higher than his, and he can see through his disguise at a glance. There is no need to hide it.

He walked over and wanted to help him, but was rejected as expected.

Pei Jing thought okay.

The silver-haired young man walked forward with an indifferent look on his face. It was obvious at a glance that he was in a violent mood, and was far less friendly than the last time he was in the Yunlan Mountains.

Pei Jing looked like a teenager, with relatively short legs. When the young man walked fast, he had to jump to keep up. In fact, he had a lot of questions, but he only asked the most critical ones, which were what he wanted to know the most. Maybe when people become smaller, they don't care about face as much, and feel that it's not their fault anyway.

Pei Jing asked directly: "Why did that person want to kill me? I don't think I have made such a powerful enemy in all these years."

The silver-haired young man lowered his eyes and said indifferently: "Who knows."

Pei Jing exclaimed: "Will he come back again?"

"meeting."

Pei Jing pulled the corner of his mouth. It seemed necessary to go to Jingtianyuan to ask for something to save his life. He tilted his head, his dark and clear eyes were a little confused, but he said sincerely: "Then I have to thank you again this time, thank you for saving me."

The silver-haired young man paused, three thousand strands of snow-white hair falling on his gloomy black robe. He looked down at him and said, "Shrinking your bones, turning into a teenager, and sneaking into the outer peaks disguised as a new disciple, is this your new hobby?"

Pei Jing choked, not understanding why he asked this, as if he had a special fetish: "I naturally have my reasons for doing this."

The silver-haired young man had a look of aloofness in his eyes, and he smiled mockingly: "Have you achieved a breakthrough to the Nascent Soul stage? You are so free."

Pei Jing: "..." Fortunately, I didn't meet him in person. Now that I'm a teenager, I don't look particularly embarrassed. He decided to tell the truth: "I just sneaked into the outer peak for cultivation. Master wants me to return to my original nature, so I went to the outer peak to experience another life. Moreover, you don't need to express your opinion on the internal affairs of Yunxiao if you don't understand. Although I haven't broken through the Nascent Soul, as the temporary head of Yunxiao, I have the responsibility to train outstanding disciples."

Silver-haired young man: "The master needs to personally train an outstanding disciple. Has Yunxiao fallen to this point?"

Pei Jing: “…” Can you please shut up, brother

Pei Jing said: "I was the one who placed him in the outer peak, so I naturally have the responsibility to train him. If that kid can turn over a new leaf, he might be the next head of Yunxiao Sect."

The silver-haired young man retracted his fingers slightly, tilted his head, and said with a half-smile: "Is that so? You want to take him as your apprentice?"

"... Not really." He really didn't want to tell an outsider about Yunxiao's internal affairs. Pei Jing looked around and sighed, "That guy also entered the Demonic Chamber. I broke in just to save him. I didn't see him for a long time. The best result is that he has walked out. Otherwise..." After a pause, Pei Jing asked, "Did you see him? A young man in a blue-white robe, looking cold."

The silver-haired young man didn't even think about it: "No."

Pei Jing lowered his head: "That's strange."

As he walked, a familiar rustling sound made Pei Jing stiffen. It would take some time for the illusion to disappear. The resentment and murderous intent that could be transformed into substance disappeared, but the pile of snake bones was still there. Hiss, hiss, the exit was exactly where the pile of snakes was.

Pei Jing paused and said to him, "Go forward and you will see a mountain path. Follow the path and you will be out of the Buddha Hall. You go first, I will go back and look for him. I am afraid he is still in the hall."

The silver-haired young man raised a hint of playfulness at the corner of his lips, but Pei Jing couldn't see it because of the shadows.

"You don't have to go back to look for him. The boy is not in the temple. The mountain path leading to the exit is rugged and messy. It's more likely that he got lost in there."

Pei Jing: “… …what you said makes some sense, but I still think that to be on the safe side, I should go back and take a look.” There are so many exits in the Pagoda Hall, this one won’t make a difference.

The silver-haired young man said, "What happened just now was just a fragment of Shu Yan's consciousness. He may have more than just this one strand of consciousness when he entered the Changtian Secret Realm. If you delay for a while longer, your little disciple will be in more danger."

Pei Jing: “…”
