"Brother, when can we find our father and mother?"
In the desolate wilderness, a thin girl was holding the boy's clothes tightly, asking timidly, looking at the endless wilderness with fear, the sky was dim and the earth was dark, boundless, as if they were the only ones in the world. 1357924?6810ggggggggggd lonely, desolate.
"It's right in front, almost..." The boy held the hatchet and pursed his chapped lips. He was stubborn and strong, but his immature face was covered with mud and his skin was dull. He walked forward firmly, but there was confusion and helplessness deep in his eyes.
"Do they still recognize us?" The girl was thin and tired.
"I recognize it, I will definitely recognize it."
"Do they miss us?"
"They've been waiting for us."
"Brother, I'm so tired."
The boy bent down and carried the little girl on his back, and continued walking forward.
"Brother, don't leave me." The girl hugged the boy's neck tightly and buried her head.
The wilderness is endless, the cold wind howls, picking up a few pieces of withered yellow weeds and flying all over the sky.
Go forward, go forward, but where is the end
The sky was getting dark, and several crows were heard neighing in the distance, hoarse and low, like a curse floating between heaven and earth.
The little girl opened her sleepy eyes and looked at the yellow and black sky. Her thin body trembled slightly and she hugged the boy tightly.
"Are you hungry?" The boy opened his chapped lips, and he could hear the growl in the little girl's stomach.
"I'm not hungry." The girl didn't want to leave her brother and suppressed her hunger.
"Wait a minute, I'll go nearby to see if there's anything to eat." The boy comforted her again and again, leaving the girl behind and telling her not to run around.
"Brother, don't leave me." The girl's dirty little hands tightly grasped the boy, her eyes full of worry and nervousness.
"Never, I will definitely take you to find them."
Before dark, the boy grabbed a hare and ran wildly, waving and shouting from a distance.
There’s something to eat! !
There is meat to eat! !
However, when he came to the deserted grassland in his memory, his sister was no longer there.
"Yinger?? Little sister!!"
"Where are you!"
"do not scare me!"
"Little sister!!"
"Yinger..."
The boy panicked, abandoned the hare, and ran like crazy, shouting.
Where are you! ! Where are you! !
The boy was crying, trembling, desperate! fear! upset! remorse! He ran wildly in the endless wilderness, his feet were scratched by grass roots and dripping with blood. The boy frantically searched for every patch of grass. Where are you? ? Where are you... Come back... Come back quickly...
Late at night, the darkness is endless.
The boy was kneeling in the wilderness, crying hysterically, I lost my little sister...
… … …
ten years! !
Qin Ming traveled far across the ancient sea and did not return for ten years.
He fought hard in the ancient sea and practiced in the vast ocean.
He faced conspiracies and plots and faced powerful enemies and evil beasts.
In the past ten years, he has grown slowly and become stronger. He has been scarred and reaped glory.
For ten years, he thought of the ancient city of Thunder, as well as his relatives and friends.
He stood on the island, looking up to the other side of the sea. There was heaven, a brand new world. But he resolutely turned back. Before leaving for the New World, he wanted to return to his hometown and see his relatives again.
After all, this may mean goodbye forever.
However…
When he set foot on the Northern Territory again with gifts, a smile, and brilliant achievements.
Wolf smoke was everywhere, killings were everywhere, and the war was ravaging the Northern Territory. It was like a torrent that destroyed ancient cities one after another. Countless people were crying and howling in the blood and fire, struggling in the ruins.
The cruelty of war is like the blood pen of God, savagely sketching the hell on earth.
When Qin Ming stood in front of Thunder Ancient City, the place was already in ruins.
The statues of the Eighteen Kings have collapsed and turned into pieces of stone, buried in waist-high weeds. The city walls are no longer there, the houses and shops are no longer there, and huge cracks run through the ruins of the ancient city. Wild wolves and beasts appear in their mouths. with pale bones.
Everything has changed beyond recognition.
Relatives? friend
They are all gone.
Qin Ming knelt in front of the ruins, his brain turning white.
I'm back, where are you
… … …
All kinds of dreams haunt Qin Ming. The most terrifying and strongest thing is not his desire to kill or his obsession, but the fear deep in his heart and the shadow left by the disaster that year. .
The death of his parents, the decline of his family, the decline of the ancient city, and the suffering of his relatives were all unforgettable memories. He was afraid and worried that history would repeat itself.
He wants to experience and pursue martial arts, but he is afraid that his relatives will encounter misfortune again.
He wants to protect his loved ones forever and ever, but he is unwilling to remain silent and longs to go further into the world.
Other people's inner demons are greed, delusion, or resentment and murderous thoughts, but his inner demons are family members and responsibilities! It is the unforgettable pain left in his childhood and the longing for his relatives during his eight years of servant life.
In those eight years, no matter day or night, what he was afraid of was not being humiliated or bullied, but that his relatives far away in Daqingshan would be killed. What he was afraid of was that the day he left Qingyun Sect, they would no longer be alive.
This fear, suppressed in his heart, followed him for eight years, from the age of seven to fifteen!
Qin Ming is now stronger and his family is safe. He thought that he had come out of that memory and could cope with everything well. However, when the candlelight illuminates the soul and the lamp brings out the inner demons, they are like The huge waves that burst the embankment drowned Qin Ming, and were like terrible beasts, biting him crazily.
He struggled, he ran wildly, and he was bleeding.
He cried, he called for help, he was in pain and despair.
In the inner demon palace!
The ten old men walked past each person in turn, observing each person.
Yue Qing, Bai Xiaochun, Su Qixue, and others all held lamps in their hands, lying deep in the dreamland, with different expressions, including confusion, pain, ferociousness, and seriousness. The candlelight in their hands was a little dim. They may go out at any time, but some are flickering on and off, constantly changing.
The test in the Palace of Inner Demons is not to let everyone get rid of their inner demons, but to let them learn to control them. Whoever can suppress them will have their candle flame extinguished, even if they pass the test.
However, Qin Ming was an exception. The flames in the lamp became more and more prosperous. His expression was sometimes painful, but also desolate, sometimes dull, or desperate. Several painful groans could be vaguely heard between his breaths.
Several old people stared at each other, thinking that Qin Ming would show ferocity and fanaticism, and would fall into some kind of killing world and be unable to protect himself, but... he seemed sad
Time passed by in a hurry like quicksand. An hour was neither long nor short. Some people extinguished the lamps in their hands one after another. However, they did not rush to wake up, but held the lamps in a daze.
Inner demons are indeed scary, but the process of overcoming them is tantamount to transformation.
This is also the first time that they face their hearts and see their true selves.
Moreover, when advancing from the Xuanwu Realm to the Earth Martial Realm, they will also face the test of inner demons, and they may become obsessed with it, so experiencing these in advance and feeling the inner demons in advance is undoubtedly precious to each of them.
One, two... ten... twenty...
Tang Tianque and others woke up one after another, overcame their inner demons and completed their training.
Yueqing passed successfully and woke up from the nightmare. There were tears in the corners of her eyes, and she experienced grief and despair, but she resisted resolutely.
"Qin's life hangs in the balance!"
Tang Tianque stood up from the stone platform and handed over the extinguished lamp.
Li Yin, Jin Yu, Su Qixue and others woke up one after another and recovered from their trance. They handed over the lamps and looked at Qin Ming.
The giant hourglass in the palace records the time. One hour is almost here, but the fire in front of Qin Ming is still burning brightly, with no sign of extinguishing.
Yue Qing looked at the tears on Qin Ming's face and felt a pity in her heart.
She seemed to be able to guess what Qin Ming was going through and enduring.
Tears welled up in the corners of Qin Ming's eyes, his expression was frightened and helpless, he held the lamp with all his strength, trembling slightly.
"Don't be afraid... I'm by your side..."
"I am always here."
"Always there."
Yue Qing gently held Qin Ming's hands, knelt down on the stone platform in front of him, closed her eyes, lowered her head slightly, and let the shadow of the lamp envelope her.
"Is it against the rules?" Su Qixue wished Qin Ming could not pass, otherwise the threat would be too great.
