Ouyang Xiaoleng's vision began to become blurry, and he didn't know whether it was from tears or because the illusion created by the Ring of Beiming was slowly disintegrating. He was also dragged into the boundless darkness, and the call of ghosts sounded in his ears.
"Want to change what happened to your parents?"
"Who are you?" Ouyang Xiaoleng vigilantly used his hearing to find the speaker's location, but the voice seemed to come from all directions.
"I am the Ring of the North Ming. With the power of the Pixiu beast in me, I can help you travel through time and space and go back to New Year's Eve sixteen years ago. If you were there, your parents' fate would probably be rewritten! How about that? ?Make this deal with me!”
"Deal? What benefits can I give you?" Ouyang Xiaoleng considered every word it said over and over in his heart.
"What I need is the protection of a strong man! Who can protect me from being taken to the Black Fire Purgatory and destroyed!"
No matter who you are, there is a darkest corner in your heart, but the Ring of the North Ming can explore this place and drive straight into it. If you waver even a little, it will take root here. Desire, regret, hatred...the more these negative emotions you have, the more they can become bargaining chips for this Lord of the Rings to exchange with you, and the soul chips you have to pay at the other end of the scale will also double when the chips are used up. , that is, when your energy is exhausted and disaster strikes.
The Ring of Beiming died with Huo Xiang, the lord of Nanzhe City, and was left with him in the treasure pavilion of Nanzhe Palace. After a few years, it could no longer absorb the power of the soul and gradually fell into a deep sleep until someone woke it up.
It actually does not have the ability to summon the undead. Although as a ring made of the scales of the mythical beast Pixiu, it has the ability to confuse the mind and increase wealth to a certain extent, but it can only go so far. But the person who awakened him used the remaining bones and black magic of Huo Huan, the lord of Nanzhe City, to capture his wandering undead and gave him power. This person was Qingyun.
The Ring of Beiming only plays the role of a lobbyist, putting on a good show with the fire hyena in order to make people have the illusion that it has powerful abilities, while Qingyun is hiding in the dark to control everything. As long as the Lord of the Rings is not destroyed, Qingyun will still have a chance to regain it, and then the Qi Lie Formation can still be completed. This is Qingyun's wishful thinking.
Ouyang Xiaoleng's heart was still stung and tormented by what he had just seen when his parents said goodbye to him for the last time. If he could exchange for his parents' lives, he would be willing to give everything, but he also understood that he had to bear the responsibility for believing in the words of Beiming's Ring. What a risk.
His mood had never been so contradictory. He couldn't weigh whether it was right to sell his companions and his own soul for that glimmer of hope. But at that time, the chance of his parents being reborn, what could be more important than this.
His heart seemed to be about to make a choice. But in this complete darkness, whose hand broke into the dark corner deep in his heart and gave him gentle comfort? His hand was suddenly grabbed by that hand, pulling him to run in the darkness. They ran all the way in the darkness... Finally, light came out from the front.
Yongchuan Forest appeared in the field of vision. On the forest path with mottled light and shadow, the back of the girl in the white dress pulled her tightly towards Silver Moon Lake. Her hair spreads behind her shoulders and flies with the rhythm of the lotus leaves on the skirt, creating ripples in Ouyang Xiaoleng's heart. Those ripples are connected to the blue waves of Silver Moon Lake, bringing the fragrance of flowers and the chirping of birds with the breeze.
The girl stopped at the lakeside, but did not let go of Ouyang Xiaoleng's hand. He followed to catch a glimpse of the angelic girl's profile. The sun gilded her cheeks with light gold. It was a summer and autumn that he had never seen before, and it was more sacred and noble than usual. It was she who once again led him through the darkness and gave him the courage to kill his inner demons.
When he blinked again, he had returned to the Yuheng Hall. Xia Qiu was holding one of his hands and looking at him with concern in his eyes. Seeing that he finally regained consciousness, he took a deep breath. She was about to let go of his hand, but he held it back forcefully.
The war with the inner demons has come to an end, but the lingering fears in the hearts of the three teenagers have not completely subsided. No one knows whether Xia Qiu has also encountered the temptation of the Ring of Beiming, because she is the only one who looks calm on the surface.
Ouyang Hongye finally handed over the Ring of Beiming to her with confidence. He used Soul Lift to find the crack on the Black Fire Purgatory and threw it into it to destroy it with the fire of Purgatory. It sounds like this task is not difficult, but in fact This is not the case.
The four teenagers walked through the Liangsheng Xuan Corridor together and walked towards the eternal river in the human world. At this time, the sky was just turning white, and there was silence all around, which made the girl holding the exquisite small wooden box even more impressive, while three handsome young men were guarding her.
After finding the approximate location of the Black Fire Purgatory in Yongchuan Forest, Xia Qiu began to try to enter the state of soul separation, but was never able to succeed. She couldn't tell others what distracted her. Hidden behind the surface calm, she also withstood the temptation of the Ring of the North Ming.
This forest that she once thought was full of fantasy seemed so lonely and desolate at this moment. The Ring of Beiming allowed her to see Ouyang Xiaoleng waiting for her for ten years in the Yongchuan Forest. The boy who was taciturn and often expressionless always hid in the huge banyan tree and looked carefree. She is aware of possible dangers around her.
The boy slowly grew into a young man, but the loneliness on his face remained unchanged. When the sunset reflected on the entire forest and the Silver Moon Lake, the boy quietly admired the sunset on the top of the tree with the girl by the lake. At that time, she was still carefree, but he had been suffering from the hatred and sadness of fate.
"You can help him end all this!" The Ring of Beiming tempted her.
"How to end it?" she asked after hesitating for a moment.
"Rely on my power to make him an ordinary human boy. The rise and fall of the demon world has nothing to do with him. He will become a human child and grow up peacefully and happily like you, and you and him can still meet each other in the long years. each other."
What could be more exciting than the proposal of the Lord of the Rings? If on the morning of the first day of high school, the last person to walk into the classroom was just an ordinary teenager, the story between him and her would be completely changed. The battle across all walks of life turns into romantic appointments in the commercial street, on the way home from school, and in the lakeside park. Will he become as simple, happy and sunny as Du He or Dong Haofan
"What about the demon world? Where are his parents?" Xia Qiu suddenly remembered that the Ring of Beiming didn't mention anything about the demon world.
"I cannot change the fate of the demon world. All I can do is change the fate of the demon king fox's descendants. The Qi Lie Formation has a power that cannot be underestimated, and its destruction will also have a chain reaction."
"What kind of ripple effect?"
"Xiaoze is the sacrifice of someone. If someone escapes, it is likely to have some impact on the demon world and the human world. And that someone is you! Think about it, you will lose your life for this!"
Xia Qiu weighed in her mind that her life no longer belonged to her when she signed the blood alliance with Ouyang Xiaoleng, but what would happen if they escaped from the shackles of fate together
She was still just a little bit away from falling into the temptation of the Ring of Beiming, but the picture in Ouyang Xiaoleng's eyes suddenly appeared in her eyes. Maybe there was really a connection between them. His sad parting with his parents broke her heart. . She had been so convinced that even relying on Qingyun's power to keep Emperor Cang alive would be a blasphemy against the beautiful love between him and Lan Snake Xizhen. But what was she doing at this moment? !
It turns out that it is often clear to onlookers and confusing to the authorities. She was supposed to be a young girl who was still at the age of pursuing romance, but she had to give up her selfish desires for the sake of justice. She still chose to run towards him who was in confusion, took his hand and led him to escape to the other side of light.
She tried hard to recall the feeling she had every time she entered Soul Leaving in the past, and held her breath to resist the final interference from the Ring of Beiming.
"You will die for this!" the voice of the Lord of the Rings kept repeating in her ears.
Ouyang Xiaoleng put his hand on her shoulder at this moment and advised: "Don't force yourself into Hunli. If it doesn't work, don't force it!"
The pain of forcibly entering the world of soul separation gradually dissolved in his rare but heartfelt tenderness, and finally broke through the ice, and the red light bursting out from the ground appeared in front of her eyes again. She remembered the fear she felt the last time she saw it, the countless monsters imprisoned in cages hanging under the deep rock formations, and their howling hands reaching for her, but she must muster the courage to approach that place again. A crack leading to them.
Before she could even reach the front, the howls from the underground monsters and the sound of magma hitting the metal chains and rock walls could already be heard. Steam continuously emerged from the cracks and hit Xia Qiu's body and face. She could only Struggling to get closer step by step.
Then he opened the box containing the Ring of Beiming and took it in his hand. The rose-colored Lord of the Rings was wrapped in a colorful halo, still trying to escape the fate of being destroyed, but the human girl in front of her had lost any sense of its words. She knelt down on the ground, aimed at the crack in the ground and threw the Ring of Beiming down.
"no no!"
The Ring of the North Ming screamed hoarsely, first bouncing back and forth on the rock wall, and then began to be continuously invaded by magma that burst out several feet.
Until a giant black hand stretched out from the cages hanging in the Black Fire Purgatory caught it, and it happened to fit on the little finger of that hand.
When the Ring of Beiming was placed on the hand that suddenly stretched out, a beam of magma burst out. Xia Qiu's vision was shaken by this, and he did not see clearly what happened in that second. She only vaguely saw something falling into the magma. Sparks flew and bubbles appeared, and she mistakenly thought that the Ring of Beiming had been destroyed.
Finally recovering from the state of soul separation, she was exhausted mentally and physically, panting and looking at the few teenagers guarding her. When her eyes met Ouyang Xiaoleng's, she couldn't help but reveal a relieved smile on her face.
In the formation of strange formations, the cracking of Jincheng Nanzhe finally came to an end. As the Ring of Beiming fell into the Black Fire Purgatory, the undead who were forcibly recalled by the Fire Hyena finally got a chance to be saved.
It is difficult for monsters to save the undead, but Ouyang Xiaoliang is capable of it because he has the ability to eliminate monsters from his mother's side. He remembered that he had read some rebirth mantras in the scriptures. After returning to Chenji Palace, he asked Feng Huo, who had fought against Huo Hye, to come to Yuheng Palace and began to try to summon the remaining undead souls of Huo Hye.
When the dead souls of the fire mane were embodied in the burning incense, Ouyang Xiaoleng concentrated on reciting the mantra of rebirth silently: "Namo Amitabha Ye, Duotagadu Ye, Duo Di Yeta, Amilidu Pobi, Amili Duo, all Dampavi, Amiliduo, Vikalanda, Amiliduo, Vikalanda, Kamili, Gagana, Tridokali, Savaha."
In the rebirth curse repeated over and over again, the undead spirit of the big monster Huo Huan finally disappeared in a ray of light.
