Blood.
Lots and lots of blood.
"what-"
Shouting screams, children's cries.
Xia Ge sat up in shock, sweating profusely.
The pale moonlight came in, and the room was quiet.
The system hesitated: "...Did you have a nightmare?"
Xia Ge supported his forehead, but as soon as he raised his hand, he froze in place as if frightened.
Under the pale moonlight, the pale hands were covered with a layer of blood, which was terrifying.
She shook her head and looked at her hand again, it was white again and there was nothing.
"I... what's wrong?" Xia Ge's face didn't have a trace of blood, "I..."
This time, Xia Ge couldn't sleep anymore, she simply got up and looked out the window.
The moonlight was bright, and the top of the Qianhun Mountain in the distance was still shining with a dazzling white light.
That white light seemed to have the power to soothe people's hearts.
Xia Ge looked at it, and the agitated mood slowly calmed down.
However, that doesn't mean that nothing happened.
Xia Ge looked at the distant white light, and then at his pale hand, his pupils were a little empty.
The system asked: "What did you dream about? It's like seeing a ghost."
Xia Ge moved her lips and wanted to say something, but in the end, she didn't say anything.
The system said: "...you say something."
what did she say
The blood flying, the people crying.
and also…
As the slayer's self.
The most terrifying thing is.
It's real, not like a dream, when the sword in her hand slashed those people's throats, the cold and hot feeling, the tingling horror that made her scalp tingle, made her almost want to cry, but she couldn't stop. down.
It's like a killing machine that has lost its feelings, mercilessly harvesting life in people's pain.
nightmare.
nightmare.
can not breath.
It took a long time for Xia Ge to recover from that nightmare.
Say: "I dreamed that I..."
She paused, and a smile emerged from the corner of her mouth: "Eat red ice cream at home."
System: "...Your expression is definitely not a Hagen X stink."
He paused and asked again.
"Strawberry flavored?"
Xia Ge: "It's not strawberry flavored."
is bloody.
Xia Ge thought of her previous conversation with Su Tan on the mountain.
She asked Su Chuan why she had to keep her here.
Su Chuan said at the beginning, "Because you are my little priest."
Later, seeing her impatient, she said something intriguing.
"Because, only here, you are yourself."
Xia Ge looked at his hand.
When she listened to it, she didn't sneer, she just thought it was a little weird.
Xia Ge thought of the fear on the faces of the people in the Hundred Ghost Caves just before he lost consciousness, the reflection of himself in his pupils, and... the dream just now.
Combine with her words.
Always something meaningful.
And she has been staying obediently in the Demon Sect these days, also because of the inexplicable unease in her heart.
—There is nothing to fear more than the unknown from oneself.
But if you ask Su Chuan directly, she won't give her the answer, instead she will be detoured by her. The previous sentence "You are yourself" is already the most direct answer that Su Chuan can give her.
Xia Ge began to recall.
Since when did the feeling of "loss of consciousness" begin
"Little puppet." Xia Ge asked in a uncertain voice, "Is it possible... have two personalities?"
The system said: "It doesn't exist... Did you just dream that the other self was eating Haagen-Dazs?"
Xia Ge was speechless: "Because I'm in such a gloomy mood, can you not mention Hagen Xs? It's okay if you don't, you can't eat it if you have it."
The system said: "You can eat it! One hundred points for Hagen X tear ice cream in the mall, and 90 points for strawberry flavor! You deserve it!"
Xia Ge opened the panel uncontrollably, and rolled his eyes: "Shut up, you shit."
It's poisonous, spring cold food, ice cream, and Tama's Hagen X tear.
When the system sees that the customer has no desire to buy, the system shifts the topic falsely: "Hey, you can't help it now, didn't I sell you a small flying saucer that can monitor your own dynamics?"
Xia Ge stared blankly at the "little flying saucer" on the table that was beaten into a sieve by the dark guard a few days ago, more than ten inches long and wide.
… the high tech of the system is, as always, distressing and speechless.
The system is unreliable, and Xia Ge is too lazy to complain anymore. Instead, he started to think about his plans.
Su Chuan wouldn't aim at nothing, what she said must be a bit of a doorway.
Because Xia Ge can be sure—the moment before she lost consciousness, she didn't see Su Chuang.
In other words, she was not knocked unconscious by Su Tang.
But suddenly, he lost all perception.
In this regard, she has a strong, indescribable uneasiness in her heart. This uneasiness makes her like a bird frightened, and she does not dare to act rashly.
The system said, "You can't keep doing nothing like this."
"I always feel uneasy." Xia Ge looked at the gentle light of Nadao outside the window, "I want to find out what happened to me..."
"Then what about your senior sister?" The system said, "You these few days..."
After a pause, it said, "You've been like a normal person these days. I always feel like you've forgotten everything."
Xia Ge said helplessly, "...I just don't know what else I can do."
She doesn't know what to do now.
Xia Ge has never felt so deeply about his powerlessness.
But now, the unknown and the uncertain guess from her own is like a heavy boulder pressing on her heart, but she is carrying this burden on her back, and she doesn't know where to throw it, so she can only stand in place, at a loss.
But feel more and more tired.
"can not fall asleep."
Xia Ge put on his clothes and went out, "Do something."
The system was surprised: "That thing?"
Xia Ge nodded: "Well... I plan to stay in the Demon Sect first."
The system said, "Are you accepting your fate?"
Little Acacia lifted up from Xia Ge's wrist.
Xia Ge laughed and said, "If you have to think this way, then think about it this way."
system:"… "
Xia Ge circled around a few times and walked to a small workshop behind the priest's hall. Looking like a makeshift black workshop, Xia Ge unlocked the lock, and after entering, all kinds of heaven and earth treasures can blind people in an instant.
System: "...This is what you asked Su Chuan to do for you?"
Xia Ge gave a "hmm", "You need to eat the rice in one bite, and do things little by little."
The system said: "You sell these things to me, I will let you soar during the day..."
Xia Ge sneered: "As far as you are unreliable, if I trust you again, then I have a hole in my brain."
The system pretended to say: "Buying and selling can't be friendship, so the host shouldn't be too ruthless."
Xia Ge ignored it, and got busy at his workbench.
The worktable is two meters square, and there is a skinless mechanical puppet lying quietly on it. The bones made of high-quality celestial jade are illuminated by the light of the night pearl. Xia Ge leaned down and moved out from under the table. A small jar, opened the lid.
The system exclaimed: "She actually gave you Cloud Mountain Mud!!"
The mud of Yunshan Mountain, the mud of the gods, is said to be the material used by the goddess Nuwa when she created humans.
Xia Ge's eyes flashed green light slightly, and the beast pupil glanced at it, and his hand trembled after seeing its value.
The system screamed: "Are you selling yourself?! When did you sell yourself to her without telling me!!? You can't do something that's sorry for your senior sister!! You have to end it all!!"
Before Xia Ge was speechless, he heard the system turn to an affectionate voice, "By the way, ask Miss Su if she still lacks a beautiful concubine, I think I'm quite suitable..."
Xia Ge: "Get out of here."
You don't even have a body that you can sell.
"Woohoohoo, the mud of Yunshan, the ultimate dream of every puppet master, oh oh oh ... you must be selling it, oh ..."
Xia Ge: "..." You are selling yourself.
"Otherwise how did you get it!"
Xia Ge was actually a little overwhelmed: "I'll ask her to give me some skin-making materials to practice my hands."
She was so generous when she came up, and she was also a bit square, inexplicably felt that she owed a great favor.
But thinking of what the other party had done, Xia Ge pouted and felt at ease in an instant.
She doesn't owe her anything.
system:"… "
The system said jealously: "You can only be said to be Zhou Zheng, but you are not as beautiful as a fairy..."
Oh yo, starting a personal attack
Jealousy makes people ugly.
Xia Ge didn't even bother to roll his eyes this time, "Oh, you look good, you look good."
After he finished speaking, he simply ignored it, dug out the mud in the jar, and carefully wiped it on the skinless puppet's face.
As the saying goes, it is difficult to paint a human and a tiger, but for a puppet, the most difficult thing is not the bones, but the skin.
Her movements were a little rusty.
It's no wonder that although it is in the name of a puppet master, it is more like a half-assistant, Qinggong and other crooked ways to practice tigers and tigers.
Xia Ge doesn't know why... Maybe it's because she just came to this world, people's disgust for puppet masters has deeply affected her, or there may be other reasons... She doesn't always like this.
But if it wasn't for her identity as a puppet master, she wouldn't know how many times she died.
Every time I do something related to puppets, I always feel an unspeakable sense of guilt.
If you take out this kind of psychology and analyze it when you are very bored, you can get the most classic conclusion - when you become a bitch, you have to set up a torii, which is referred to as "and" for short.
Thinking of this, Xia Ge smeared the face of the mechanical puppet unskilledly.
The system looked at the face that seemed to be bloody but bloodless after a car accident, and said for a while, "It was a massacre, has the murderer been found?"
Xia Ge: "… "
Xia Ge simply and rudely ripped off the paste-up face, and the mud of Yunshan Mountain made a reluctant tearing sound on the puppet's face, which sounded a bit shrill.
The system said, "If you want to make up for Madam Ye's face that looks like a flower and jade, at your level, you have to practice until the year of the monkey and the month of the horse?"
Xia Ge looked at the mud on his hands, and was a little crazy, "Do you have to make up your face like flowers and jade?!"
The system said, "Then you can't make up Ruhua's face either! You just had a smeared face at the scene of a car accident, right? Ruhua is not that bad!"
Xia Ge was just about to say that I'll just make up for the fire, but before the voice came out, the temporary small workshop suddenly started shaking suffocatingly.
The system shouted: "That three-legged glass bottle is about to fall!!!"
Before Xia Ge could even glance at it, he heard "crashing" several times, and the system's heartbroken scream: "Fall, fall—"
Fuck your ass!
"boom-"
Xia Ge kicked the door with a jar of Cloud Mountain Mud and rolled out, and rolled out of the small workshop where the beams had collapsed. Only after coming out did he find that the entire Thousand Soul Religion was shaking!
After a toss just now, Dongfang lit up with fish belly white, and Xia Ge was a little dizzy, but this is not the point—
The point is...
"Someone broke into the ten thousand puppet formation!!!"
"who is it?!"
"Actually..."
Xia Ge was holding the jar of Yunshan Zhimu, still in the fog, when he suddenly heard a familiar and somewhat unfamiliar, yet very penetrating voice!
"Let Su Chuan, get out!!"
The distance is far, far away, but this sound is also very clearly heard, and it echoes in thousands of miles!
Xia Ge stood there for a while, and when he came back to his senses, he immediately put the mud of Yunshan into the ring and ran out!
The system said: "Where are you going! Hey, you are so smart, Wori! Take the most valuable one in one room!!"
Xia Ge ignored him at all, and all his mind was taken away by this voice.
This voice... is...
In the next instant, the ghost shadows were activated, and Xia Ge almost instinctively rushed in the direction of the sound source!
Stop it abruptly!
The last time Xia Ge crossed the Ten Thousand Puppet Formation, he didn't feel it, because the people in the Hundred Ghosts Cave used a trick to fuse their own breath with the puppet's, so that they did not provoke the Ten Thousand Puppet Formation.
but-
Xia Ge was standing on the high city wall of Qianhun Sect. The sun rose in the east, and the morning sun was accompanied by dew. In front of her, there were countless puppets rising up from the ground, like thousands of troops, mighty. The darkness is overwhelming, it is boundless and endless!
They roared and ran, and the sharp claws reflected a cold and terrifying cold light in the sun, and the incomparable coercion spread out, with suffocating despair.
Every step they took, it was as if countless heavy armored troops were stepping on the ground at the same time, and it was not an exaggeration to shake the ground!
However, in Xia Ge's eyes, it wasn't them.
It was the girl with a long sword outside the puppet thousands of miles away.
The snow-white armor reflected warm golden light in the bright morning light, the black hair was blown away by the wind in Mobei, and the long snow-white blade in her hand was like extremely cold frost. She looked at her from the army.
Xia Ge stood on the spot, motionless, standing on the high wall, momentarily at a loss for words.
The two looked at each other from a distance.
"Roar-"
The puppet rushed towards her furiously!
Xia Ge suddenly opened his eyes!
A wanton smile appeared on the corner of Chu Yao's lips, and her light brown eyes reflected a subtle but brilliant light in the sun, just like when she was still in Danfeng back then.
She suddenly swung the long knife!
The snow-white long knife is like frost, snow and cold jade, reflecting a gorgeous brilliance in the sun, just one knife!
The Chu knife is out, blood stains the mountains and rivers!
"boom-"
Thousands of miles roar!
The puppet's miserable howl shocked the world and spread thousands of miles all the way, from Chu Yao's feet, just under the city wall at Xia Ge's feet.
Dust filled the sky, broken puppets crashed, the rising sun was buried by endless dust, and in the darkness of the sky, the long knife in the girl's hand became the only light that Xia Ge could see.
Long play dance, the smile on Chu Yao's lips is wanton, pointed by the long knife, looking at Xia Ge from a distance, light brown eyes with a warm light, "One knife, broken rivers and mountains."
The system murmured, "... Brilliant."
Xia Ge looked at the high-spirited girl and lost her mind for a while.
But the ten thousand puppet formation is not so simple.
The first wave is the simplest, used to roughly estimate the strength of the enemy, and then it will become more and more powerful.
The second wave of puppets quickly climbed out of the soil. This was a large wave of A-level puppets!
Chu Yao directly came in, the snow-white blade was like ice and snow, even in the endless puppets, it seemed to be very easy to do.
The system said: "That should be the famous Chu knife sacrifice spirit of the Chu family."
Xia Ge came back to his senses, a little overwhelmed, and even a little dazed, "How did she... Why did she come?"
This probably feels like a friend, not very iron, but it seems to be a friend who has always been in contact. Suddenly, on the day when you betrayed your relatives and left no one to support, on the day you decided that all the roads must be walked alone, suddenly Just come.
People were caught off guard, not even knowing how to react.
Without waiting for the system to answer, she hurriedly said, "No... No, I have to go down and help her!"
Xia Ge was awake now, and with a wave of his hand, the scythe that had been covered in dust for a long time was instantly in his hand, and a few vertical flashes joined the battlefield!
Although Xia Ge was a little priest of the Demon Sect, it was Lao Tzu who had come, and without Su Tan's hand, Wan Puppet Formation had always attacked indiscriminately!
The siege of countless A-level puppets, Xia Ge, who had just reached the prefecture level, was a little reluctant to deal with it, but he was able to cope. Chu Yao was a wild killing faction, killing all the way to the end, and as the number of A-level puppets became less and less. , followed by an increase in…
It was the number of S-rank puppets! !
Xia Ge began to struggle.
She threw away the claws of a puppet. The claws were as solid as iron, and they deeply held a scratch on her sickle. Even with the blessing of the soul, this sickle was only Xia Ge's previous work. It's just a handy weapon pulled from the hands of a D-rank puppet.
Soon, Xia Ge couldn't hold it anymore, just the moment a puppet's sickle was slashed towards her!
"brush-"
It was a cold, snow-white, knife light.
It seems that space and time can be broken apart, everything is still, and the only thing moving is that light.
It is invincible and invincible!
It passed Xia Ge's eyes, and in the moment it passed by, what you saw was dust!
The scythe that slashed towards Xia Ge disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Xia Ge's pupils shrank slightly, and then, the whole person fell into a somewhat cold and hard embrace.
Hard snow-white armor, and a long knife as cold as frost.
The girl held the knife in one hand and held her in her arms in the other, her long hair fluttering beside her, her light brown pupils were slightly closed, and her voice was slightly hoarse.
"… sorry for being late."
After a long while, Xia Ge slowly came back to his senses, his voice was a little difficult, "You..."
She wanted to ask "why are you here", or say "what are you here for", but she had a thousand words, but in the end, she couldn't say anything.
"I said… "
Chu Yao's eyes froze, and the long knife folded back!
A puppet who wanted to sneak attack was immediately smashed in the head!
The sound of heavy armor crashing to the ground, accompanied by Chu Yao's tone, sounded like a tune.
"...the road is at your feet."
"I'm on your side."
Xia Ge stood there, motionless, for a long time, the third wave of puppets had slowly gathered around, and they were puppets above SS.
She heard her own astringent voice: "...you'd better go back."
She said: "People like me...not worth it."
She is someone who doesn't even know who she is.
"It's not worth it or not, only if I want it or not." Chu Yao put away the knife.
Xia Ge said, "I remember what you said."
"You said... the road is at my feet, as long as I'm still me, you will stand by my side." Xia Ge turned his head slightly.
Chu Yao looked at her, under the dim sky, those light brown eyes shone slightly, with determination and tenderness.
Xia Ge slowly took a step back and got out of her embrace.
Chu Yao was slightly startled.
"...But, what if I'm not me anymore?" Xia Ge looked at her, the wind waving her long hair, she said, "What if I don't even know who I am?"
"I'll still be on your side."
The SS-level puppet was slowly approaching, but Chu Yao stood still. She looked at Xia Ge, her eyes bright as morning stars, "You are you, no matter what, you are you."
Xia Ge stood there, not knowing what to say.
Yes, she is who she is.
No matter if she is a neuropathy that splits N's personality, no matter what kind of lunatic she is, no matter what happens to this body that she doesn't know about.
She is her.
As long as she exists here, as long as she is still in this body.
Then all her karma is the fruit she should bear.
This is an unsolved situation.
The girl was dressed in a snow-white battle armor, with a faint golden dragon pattern floating in it, and there was a hint of tenderness in the domineering.
Chu knife sacrifice to the spirit.
Chu Yao said: "So, there is a sentence, I must tell you."
Sandstorm rolling.
"...If I don't say it, I will regret it for the rest of my life."
"So, anyway..."
She raised her head, her firm gaze met Xia Ge's somewhat blank eyes.
"I like you."
"It doesn't matter who you are, as long as you are you, I will always—"
The snow-white long sword swung an icy arc, and the girl knelt down in front of Xia Ge on one knee, her eyes resolute, "The ancestors of the Chu family teach, if you love someone deeply, you must wear a wedding dress for him, abandon the sword and seal the sword, from now on it is meaningless. Sword, light and sword shadow, for one person to live in Taoyuan forever."
The white armor on the girl gradually faded, turning into a snow-colored wedding dress, and the cold white long knife turned into a light golden sword spike. She raised her eyes and looked at Xia Ge, her voice solemn as if swearing.
"Whether you are Xia Wuyin, Qin Shuang, or... Xia Ge." She looked at her, word by word, sonorously and forcefully, "I, Chu Yao, in this life, I only wish to give up my sword and seal my sword for you, and stay in Taoyuan. !"
For Chu Yao's confession, Xia Ge was a little uneasy, and murmured, "It's hard for you to remember this name."
The first time she met Chu Yao, she told her the name "Xia Ge" as nonsense.
Chu Yao said, "I remember every word you said."
There was a bitter smile on Xia Ge's lips, and she took a step back slowly, "...Sorry."
"I can't promise you," she said.
"...Thank you for saving me, but... I, can't go with you."
… got rejected.
Chu Dao Sacrifice Spirit seems to be a little sluggish.
It has always been very excited after seeing Xia Ge, but after getting the answer, the five-hundred-year-old fried dough sticks seemed to wilt.
Chu Yao stood up calmly and said, "I know you have a heart."
"However, I have done what I wanted to do and I have no regrets," she said.
The SS-level puppet was already approaching, but it was blocked by the barrier of Chu Dao's sacrifice spirit, so it couldn't get in, but no matter how powerful the barrier was, it couldn't support the powerful siege of countless SS-level puppets!
"...No matter what your choice is." Chu Yao looked at her, "but if one day she fails you, I won't spare her."
"But now, I'm taking you out of here."
Xia Ge said, "No, I said... I won't go with you."
She was like a child who did something wrong, "… I'm sorry."
Chu Yao just wanted to ask why, but the barrier was broken at once!
"boom-"
SS-class puppets swarmed up!
Chu Yao's eyes turned cold, and the next moment, Chu Dao Ji Ling turned into a snow-white dragon-patterned battle armor. With two fingers together, he swiped coldly on the golden sword spike, and the cold snow-white long sword took shape in an instant, "Behind me. !"
