Tianmo couldn't tell whether he was happy or something else, but when he looked up and met Leng Mushi's still disgusted gaze, he still felt unwilling.
"You are not willing, you still hate me," he was pulled up by Leng Mushi's collar, and was led away by her stumblingly. He madly accused Leng Mushi of not accepting him, and then laughed strangely, "Then you should never think of separating from me, I am you, and you are me!"
Leng Mushi didn't listen to him, but pulled him like a dead dog in the heavy rain.
"Yan Su, go back to Huangquan and send me to the netherworld purgatory."
Yan Su lay on the ground, frightened out of her wits, "How...how can this be possible!"
"Tianjun, is there really no other way?"
Leng Mushi pursed her lips, looked at the dark rain curtain again, and let the rain hit her eyes.
"Lord of the Heaven, if you seal yourself in the netherworld purgatory, then life on earth will be cut off, and the ladder to heaven will also be broken. At that time, even if there are three thousand gods in heaven, no one will be able to help the people here!"
Leng Mushi actually smiled at Yan Su, not looking like a king at all. She was drenched by the heavy rain, but now she looked very human.
She reached out and brushed the hair beside her face. "Then your underworld will be very lively. You will only die and not be reborn. You will become the most powerful king of the ghost world."
Yan Su felt that he was talking about a very serious topic, but the Heavenly Lord was joking with him. Although the Heavenly Lord would not destroy the world immediately after he proclaimed himself as the Heavenly Lord, once the vitality of this world was cut off from the heaven, it would really become a pool of stagnant water.
What would be the fun in him being the King of Ghosts who only controls the ghost world
Leng Mushi dragged the mad demon to the netherworld purgatory. Yan Su could not persuade her, nor could he think of any other way to prevent this catastrophe.
If the demons are allowed to grow stronger, the human world will soon be destroyed, but since the Lord of Heaven has sealed himself off, the vitality of the human world will only disappear bit by bit, at least in the next tens of thousands of years.
Maybe this really is the last resort.
Yan Su led his ghost officials to stand on the purgatory platform, looking at the Lord of Heaven and the Devil next to the Netherworld Purgatory below, and sighed softly.
Leng Mushi dug out his inner elixir with his bare hands without changing his expression. The inner elixir contained infinite vitality and was crystal clear, with five colors flowing like clouds inside.
She turned her head to the gloomy and silent demon and said, "Aren't you going to seal yourself? Jump down. Are you beginning to be attached to the human world?"
The demon lowered his eyes and looked at the bloody inner elixir in Leng Mushi's hand without saying anything. He just asked: "I am you, why do you hate me so much?"
Leng Mushi lowered her head and looked at the glowing inner elixir in her hand. She was silent for a moment and suddenly burst into tears.
She turned her head and looked at Tianmo with tears falling down, and said, "Brother Xiao, why don't you love me anymore?"
Leng Mushi said: "If you don't love me, why am I still alive? I'm going to jump from here now!"
As she spoke, she actually stood on a protruding area half a person's height and pretended to jump.
Tian Mo was about to mock her when he was shocked to find that his body was out of control again. He reached out and grabbed Leng Mushi who was about to jump down, holding her tightly in his arms, and then said in a hoarse voice: "Come down, I love you..."
Leng Mushi was held tightly by Xiao Mian and pulled down from the high place. She slowly and inconspicuously raised her lips.
But when she turned her head again, her face was still full of sadness, and even with disbelief and surprise.
"Brother, you are still..."
"I'm here." Xiao Mian hugged Leng Mushi tightly, his mind filled with the screams and temptations of the devil. But this time, he didn't listen to a word and felt the place where the demonic energy was the strongest.
So when he let go of Leng Mushi, he had already torn open his chest with his bare hands, grabbed the beating red heart, pulled it out, and handed it to Leng Mushi with trembling hands.
"The most, uh... the one with the most intense demonic energy." Xiao Mian couldn't stand up and knelt directly in front of Leng Mushi.
He used Leng Mushi's body to support himself and resisted the tendency to slide to the ground. He held his heart up with both hands and handed it to Leng Mushi.
When the beating heart fell into Leng Mushi's hands, the blood immediately disappeared and it turned into a black pill emitting demonic energy, which was the Heavenly Demon Pill.
Yan Su and the ghost officials who were watching all this on the Purgatory Platform cheered immediately, "Congratulations to the Lord of Heaven for getting the magic pill!"
After getting the magic pill, you don't need to seal yourself anymore, you just need to seal the demon.
Leng Mushi ignored what they were shouting, but reached out to wipe away the bloodstain on Xiao Mian's face.
Then she used the hand that wiped away Xiao Mian's blood to wipe away the tears on her face, and then her smile gradually widened. After a moment, she spoke in a very soft voice, in the same tone as when she praised Cangsheng that day, "You did a good job."
Xiao Mian grabbed Leng Mushi's robe with both hands. His vision was blurred. He had lost his demonic energy and his consciousness was restrained by a few strands of soul threads. However, he still looked up at Leng Mushi with difficulty.
His eyes were filled with blood at this moment, but it was not because of the evil spirit, but because of the extreme pain, the pain of having his heart dug out with his own hands. Leng Mushi could empathize with him through the soul thread that was connected to him.
The tears in his eyes slid down the corners of his eyes, but his eyes were full of tenderness. And Leng Mushi still didn't understand even though she had watched him dying for the fourth time.
What is love? After all these times, she has never understood it.
The demonic barrier that she developed back then was not because of the death of her relatives and loved ones as the devil said, but because she had incarnated as a human, but still could not understand the emotions of humans, so she was angry and developed the demonic barrier.
But when she looked at Xiao Mian's frail appearance, his dying eyelashes trembling like butterfly wings, and his sacrificial behavior, she felt an indescribable feeling she had never experienced before in her heart.
Xiao Mian's lips trembled, as if he wanted to explain something to her. Leng Mushi put a finger on his lips and nodded, "No need to explain, I know everything. The first time you woke up in the Demon Palace, it was not because you blamed me or hated me and refused to dig the pill, but because you couldn't find the place with the most concentrated demonic energy at that time, and your body was still controlled by the demon. I know that."
Leng Mushi lowered her head and reached out to touch his eyes. "Your eyes told me at that time. I won't misunderstand you."
Xiao Mian smiled, then opened his mouth and said something slowly, word by word, but there was no sound. He was too weak to make a sound, but Leng Mushi heard it all, or rather, she understood it.
Leng Mushi's expression was slightly stunned, then twisted very quickly before returning to normal.
Xiao Mian smiled at her one last time, relaxed his hands with relief, and fell to the ground.
His consciousness dissipated, and the soul thread that bound him returned to Leng Mushi's body. She looked down at him, never bending down to help him. She just treated him like a dedicated ant, watching him live and die for her.
Xiao Mian's consciousness faded, and the demon regained consciousness. However, without the magic pill, he was like he was seventeen thousand years ago, fragile and rolling on the ground in pain. He grabbed the hem of Leng Mushi's robe, bit the corner of his mouth, and smiled with blood between his teeth, "You are worthy of it... You have planned everything..."
"You planned it all." He stared at Leng Mushi, and after a moment, he seemed to give up struggling and said, "You want to seal me up again? I don't want to live in the Netherworld Purgatory. Send me back to Blood Demon Mountain. Please..."
Leng Mushi laughed. Her hair was wet and she looked like a pure girl. But how could she be a pure girl? She was born as the way of heaven and controlled life and death in the world. She said from the beginning: "I am not a good person."
"No, you can't go back to Blood Demon Mountain this time."
"You..." Tianmo pressed his chest and suddenly laughed crazily, "Why are you so heartless? If you keep doing this, you will never know what love is!"
"Xiao Mian has never wavered. He never has. Yet you still want him to watch the tragic deaths of his fellow disciples and to restrain him with the righteousness of the world. Aren't you afraid? Hahahahaha—you're afraid that he won't die for you!"
"Why not? You say you are me, but you don't understand me? Why should I gamble on love?"
Leng Mushi said: "Love is unreliable. If he doesn't see his fellow disciples die tragically, how can he be strong-minded? If he doesn't let you feel that you have succeeded, and doesn't extract your magic energy, making you so weak, how can you let down your guard and let him know the location of the magic pill? How can I get the Heavenly Demon Pill that I offered you willingly?"
"Everything is going according to plan. There's nothing wrong with that. Just like the vitality and order of this world, they are all created by me. Do you actually think that you can force me to seal myself just by living with me?"
Leng Mushi kicked away his hand that was grabbing her robe, "You are just the part of me that I don't want. You have your own mind, and you are just an appendage of mine. Do you think you can control your master?"
Leng Mushi sighed and said, "After tens of thousands of years, you still haven't learned how to survive. If you really want to live, you should hide from me. You can only exist because I hate you and abandon you. You insist on provoking me. If you provoke me, there will be no good end."
Tianmo was so weak that he was breathing out more than inhaling. Leng Mushi held two pills in his hands, one black and one white. He lowered his eyes and looked at him for the last time. The look in his eyes was no longer filled with disgust, but with another very strange emotion.
It was an emotion she had never experienced before. She closed her eyes and thought of Xiao Mian's silent words.
Finally, at the moment when Tianmo's consciousness was about to disappear completely, Leng Mushi squatted down, reached out and touched Tianmo's dying cold brows, but she was not looking at him, but looking at another person through him.
Then the demon saw Leng Mushi holding up the two pills in his hand, took a look, and then suddenly crushed them all as if he was at the border of the human race.
The demon had no time to react before he was completely submerged in the darkness.
Yan Su was on the Purgatory Platform. After seeing Leng Mushi's actions, he opened his mouth and then smiled bitterly.
With a loud bang, the sky and earth were filled with five-colored light from the netherworld and purgatory, so dazzling that the entire world was plunged into complete emptiness.
The next moment, Yan Su once again looked at the ghost officials around him with astonishment still on their faces, and then they turned into smoke and merged into the five colors.
Yan Su sighed and sat on the purgatory platform, watching as everything, centered on the Emperor of Heaven, began to continuously retreat, continuously dissipate, and continuously merge into the five-colored smoke and dust.
The ridge of the earth slowly cracked, and the time beast that had been circling the wheel of reincarnation for years was grabbed by a pair of invisible hands and dragged backwards -
In the world above the underworld, the heavy rain suddenly stopped, and the next moment the rain began to flow back towards the sky.
The seasons on earth went backwards, tall children became short again, and in the five-colored light that covered the sky and the earth, everything that had happened turned into smoke and dust that spread throughout the sky and the earth.
Leng Mushi sat cross-legged next to the Netherworld. The spiritual light appeared on her body again. Her long hair moved without wind. Her appearance changed completely. The spiritual light around her became stronger and stronger. She changed from a teenage girl to a little child.
She stood up and raised her hand to catch the last beam of light that poured into her body. The beam wrapped affectionately around her fingertips and then disappeared completely.
When the five-colored light completely poured into her body from all directions, the body of the demon lying beside her also turned into a wisp of black mist and sank into her body.
The sky and earth suddenly became dark.
The author has something to say: Leng Mushi: Since I was born, I have never believed in anyone except myself. Xiao Mian, I will believe you this time, don't lie to me.
