On the eighth day of the first lunar month, it is the Centenary Competition.
This competition is still held in Hengyang Sect. The current one-hundred-year competition is different from the previous one. In the past, the hundred-year competition was to exchange information and fight against the demons together. Now the two clans coexist peacefully for the time being. Naturally, the hundred-year competition is only for students who have passed the exam. effect.
Susu sent a letter to Gongye Jiwu in advance, expressing the hope that Tantai Jin would bring the young monks from the demon world to compete.
Gong Ye finished reading the letter in silence, and naturally had no objection.
Knowing that the Demon Lord was coming, the Hengyang Sect began to open the courtyard a few days ago, preparing to entertain the demon guests.
To tell the truth, the younger brothers were quite apprehensive. The scene of how Tantai Jin tyrannized and murdered a thousand years ago is vividly remembered. Now think about such a big devil coming to his sect, if he turns his face, that is, no one survives.
Although he knew that Tantai Jhin had saved the Six Realms, the psychological shadow could not be dissipated in an instant.
The people in the sect were panicked, and Gong Ye Jiwu, who trusted the sect leader, felt helpless in his heart.
Fortunately, he was in a good mood and comforted: "Don't worry, even if something happens, the head will die in front of you."
Yue Fuya Nahan said: "The head senior brother is actually joking?"
Gong Ye smiled silently.
The younger brothers were not comforted by the head's cold jokes. On the day of the Great Competition, everyone was anxiously waiting for Tantai Jin to arrive.
The dark clouds gathered in the sky, and the strong darkness made the younger brothers couldn't help but look up.
A nine-headed bird monster chariot approached from the sky.
Gong Ye stood up against the wind in silence, and said with a gentle smile, "Junior sister."
Sure enough, a fair hand on the carriage lifted the curtain, revealing Su Su's smiling face: "Senior brother, help the cliff!"
Susu jumped off the chariot and hadn't seen her former home for a long time. This time it was a competition, and the main purpose was to come back and see.
In the past, Su Su was everyone's little junior sister in Hengyang. Now that she came back, the senior brothers and sisters were so happy that they instantly forgot her status as a goddess and surrounded them.
The crowd talked warmly and intimately.
The monks in the demon world who followed the nine-headed bird chariot looked at Su Su, and at the chariot covered by dark clouds, they all chose to be as quiet as a chicken.
We all know that, in fact, this is a rubbish competition, and the devil is disdainful to come.
It's not that he is afraid that the young brother of the demon clan will lose shame. The demons are belligerent and eager to try. The reason why the Demon Lord was reluctant to come is because it is said that there are many former rivals of the Demon Lord here in the Hengyang Sect.
All of them are kinder and more honest than the former Demon Lord.
Now the devil's mood is not very good, even the nine-headed bird can feel it.
Tantai Jhin got off the carriage with A Mi in one hand, and at a glance, he saw Gong Ye who was facing the wind in the Yushu tree.
How deeply this person was entangled with his long-term life, Tantai Jin narrowed his eyes, and walked over with his daughter as if nothing had happened.
Gong Ye's silent eyes were warm and moist, neither sad nor happy. When he looked at Ami in his arms, he was slightly startled, and then his eyes softened.
"Are you Ami?"
Ami looked at Gongye Jiwu with big watery eyes, blinked for a while, and reached out to Gongye Jiwu: "Master Shifu hugs."
Gong Ye Jiwu stretched out his hand slightly stiffly and hugged A Mi from Tantai Jin's arms.
Tantai Jhin raised his eyebrows and let go.
Susu looked at A Mi, then at the stiff senior brother, walked to Tantai Jin, and quietly twisted his waist: "Hey, what the hell are you doing with A Mi?"
Tantai Jin lowered his eyes and looked at her with a smile: "It's fine if you don't believe me, why don't you even believe in your own daughter?"
Susu: "..." A Mi can only be more obedient in front of her. Ever since Tantai Jin returned to power, Xiao A Mi has been a lawless big devil.
On the other hand, the child's father always encouraged Ami to do bad things with a smile and admiration every time.
Most of her daughters look like herself, but she is a mixture of gods and demons, and she subconsciously carries Tantai Jhin's unique viciousness.
Su Su heard the little girl biting her finger and asked Gongye Jiwu: "Master, where is your Taoist companion?"
Gong Ye was silent for a moment, then replied gently, "Master has no Taoist companion."
"Oh, why doesn't Shibo have a Taoist companion?"
Gong Ye was lonely and rarely got along with such a small child, and for a while he found himself unable to answer, and stared at Ami with big eyes.
Susu walked over quickly: "Senior brother, give me Ami."
Ami turned her head and glanced at her Demon Lord's father.
Tantai Jhin's lips rose slightly, not distinguishing between joy and anger.
A Mi naturally listened to Su Su's words more, let go of Gong Ye's loneliness, and stood on the ground by herself.
"Sorry, brother, Ami stained your clothes." Susu said.
Gongye Jiwu lowered his eyes, and sure enough, there was a dirty slap print on his shoulder, and it was stained with sugar.
"It's okay." He made a decision and cleaned up his clothes, "The big competition is about to start, fellow Daoists, please come to the table."
The crowd took their seats.
Susu looked at the two faces, one big and one small, and warned: "Don't make trouble in the Hengyang Sect, and don't punish Senior Brother Gongye, do you hear me?"
Ami was very obedient and nodded again and again: "Ami understands, mother."
Su Su kissed her cheek: "Ami is really good."
In the end, the child's temperament, Mi was very happy soon, watching the game on the field.
"What about you, Tantai Jin."
Tantai Jin was silent for a moment, seemingly unwilling.
Seeing that Susu was still staring at him, he had to say, "I know."
Su Su breathed a sigh of relief, what Tantai Jin promised her would definitely do.
Su Su smiled and said something in his ear, Tantai Jin heard the words, and there was a slight smile in his eyes.
When they spoke, Gong Ye saw the loneliness in their eyes.
Yaoguang sat beside him and said enviously, "I used to think that Cang Jiumin was gloomy and indifferent, but now it seems that he treats Su Su very well."
Gong Ye Jiwu nodded lightly.
is good.
When Su Su spoke, Tantai Jin listened intently, only the shadow of Su Su in his eyes. What Susu said, there was a shredded brilliance in his eyes.
As a Demon Venerable, he didn't care how the younger brother who was brought out looked at him, so he peeled the grapes for Susu and then to Ami.
During the entire banquet, he himself hadn't eaten a single bite.
Thousands of years of grievances, the two have been entangled in the life of mortals until now, Gongye Jiwu originally prepared that Tantai Jin would make things difficult for him, but nothing happened after that.
Tantai Jin even nodded politely at him, then turned to look at Su Su.
Seeing her happy smile, Tantai Jin smiled too.
That smile was rare and pure, and at that moment, Gongye Jiwu suddenly understood why Su Su liked this person.
Even though Tantai Jin used to be selfish and indifferent, self-willed, arrogant and vicious, for such a person, the thousand-year-old hatred would never end, but as long as Su Su said a word and smiled, Tantai Jin removed the thorns all over his body and became simple. clean.
A child's heart can actually appear in the devil.
Gong Ye drank the wine in his glass silently, and Tantai Jin treated her well, so he was relieved.
*
At night, Su Su and Tantai Jin stayed in Changze Xianshan.
Tantai Jin is very familiar with this place. In the nightmare realm, when he was Cang Jiumin, he once came here.
At that time, Su Su used a feather to weave sword stalks for him by the Tianchi Lake, but unfortunately the sword stalks were only half-woven. Later, before Tantai Jin died, he imagined such a scene and finished weaving the unfinished sword stalks by himself.
This place used to be sad for Tantai Jhin.
Now, it is where she grew up.
He wanted to walk the path she had traveled, meet the people she knew, and participate in the life he was absent from.
In the depths of Tianchi, there is a wooden house, where Susu often practiced when she was a child.
Susu sat cross-legged on the bead pad and showed Tantai Jhin things of her childhood.
She took it out piece by piece from the wooden box and said to Tantai Jin while recalling: "This is the grasshopper that my father made for me, this is the amber given by Senior Sister Xiangyue for my younger brother, and the amber used here by my senior brothers to scare me. frog… "
Tantai Jin listened very seriously, just like the studious boy in the world.
With a faint smile in his eyes, he touched her head.
Susu didn't ask about his childhood, she knew that Tantai Jin's childhood was probably not very good. His past was full of hunger, hypocrisy, hatred.
So now, she has the patience to take him to see many beautiful things.
Just like the talisman of the common people that was shown to him at the beginning, those beautiful picture scrolls were presented in front of him. Fill in what was missing in his heart.
She encouraged Tantai Jin to return to the Xiaoyao Sect, and allowed him to teach his daughter in a strange and doting way. The injustice of Heavenly Dao to him back then was now made up for by Susu in another way.
That night they slept in the wooden house, Susu's previous bed.
Tantai Jin hugged Su Su, waved his hand, and Mantian Xingyu appeared in Changze Xianshan.
Tantai Jin kissed her forehead and heart mark, Susu leaned against his heart and slept very peacefully.
As the breeze blew, Su Su, who had long since become a god, opened her eyes. The red magic seal on Tantai Jin's eyebrows flickered slightly, with a sense of evil and ominous.
That was after he returned to the Demon Realm, quietly following his inner demon.
In other words, it is the inner demon that belongs to the long-lived demon god.
Passing through the gap of the same path of compassion, it was attached to his body in this life. It's amazing to say that this inner demon was also produced by "Tantai Jhin", so he was ignorant and didn't feel that something was wrong.
Susu has always wanted to know what it is. It was impossible to detect in the demon world before, but it can be done tonight.
Su Su made a decision, and the plane trees rustled outside the window.
The invisible formation was activated to help her catch the inner demons that belonged to the demons hidden by the demons.
Susu closed her eyes and touched his forehead, because Tantai Jin did not resist her breath, she easily saw the devil in the heart of the devil under the blessing of the sycamore wood.
It belonged to another person, but it was also "Tantai Ember".
In front of him was the life where he had never appeared by his side.
Tantai Jhin grew up as a mortal, struggled to survive and fight as an ordinary person, and failed at the last moment.
The young man was buried in the fire, staring at the lonely world until his death.
His eyes were blank and painful.
The fire was like a wall separating him from the world. Inside the fire, he was alone and fearful. Outside the fire, the people cheered and celebrated that he was burned to death.
He curled up like a child who didn't know what he had done wrong, unable to shed a single tear.
Su Su suddenly felt very distressed.
"Tantai Ember!"
Through the fire, she held the boy's hand.
The boy trembled, and his black eyes looked at her.
At a glance, the pain in his eyes seemed to disappear, with a gentle smile.
- This mortal pain, but the moment you hold my hand, is happiness.
The boy cautiously held her hand back.
Gradually, the scene disintegrated with him, and the inner demon hidden in Su's fate disappeared silently.
Susu yawned, contented.
The first rays of light come in in the morning.
Tantai Jin opened his eyes.
Susu in his arms slept soundly, and he touched the hidden demon seal on his forehead.
When he was involved in the same path of sorrow, he saw another self. The devil who has no love until his death, only knows conspiracy and tricks.
And these lonely sights, at this moment, are far, far away from him.
The glazed beads on his wrist shone with a light and translucent light in the sunlight. He looked down at the beads, and the magic eye saw what Susu had quietly melted into under the formation of the Wutong Lin before they had time to disperse.
- That is a goddess, the most precious blessing and love.
After being stunned for a long time, in such an ordinary morning, the demon god, who was born without love and tears, suddenly wet his eyes.
