With just one glance, Bai Lian could tell the origin of this person's identity.
He is a human puppet.
Balian laughed and said, "The way you appear is really unique."
Gu Sansong also clearly saw the identity of this person.
He frowned tightly.
The person who informed him about the Golden Emperor Bone did not tell them that there was such a chess piece hidden in the abyss of the earth.
Balian glanced at the change in Gu Sansong's expression calmly, and already had an idea in his mind.
The puppet under the withered tree made an old and sad voice: "I can't count... I can't count how many thousands of years have passed. The heartland is finally broken. I am old... I am old and have to meet the living."
Already."
Demon Emperor Aojiang looked suspicious and said: "Is this a human puppet? Why does it look so different from the ones we met first?"
Bai Lian said: "It's different of course. Those puppets have been ordered by others and do not have their own spiritual consciousness. But Your Excellency, even after millions of years, their mental consciousness can still be retained like this."
It’s really awesome like this now.”
After hearing this, the man in the wood's words became more and more sad. He looked at the crowd in a daze, his eyes full of wood grains dimmed, filled with a sad and lonely light.
His whispering voice was full of deep and desolate pain: "If possible... I would rather be like those who have lost their minds and only know how to follow their puppet masters, than to be awake day and night here."
Be a prisoner for a long time."
"It's too bad...it's lucky..."
The man in the tree struggled to lift his withered and old cheeks. This body had been assimilated with the tree for a long time. Even though he was crying, the tears flowing from his eyes turned into dry ash and disappeared when the wind hit it.
He looked at Balian and others, as if he saw a weak flame in the long and numb darkness, and choked up: "Fortunately, my waiting is not withered, and the persistence of thousands of years is not in vain."
Wang Yi said unceremoniously: "Wait? Is this old man still hoping that in such a situation, we will be able to rescue you from this cage?
To be honest, the giant beast of the abyss is about to awaken, and an unprecedented disaster has erupted in the underwater world. We are still alive today only because you, senior, pulled us into this barrier, so we can be safe for the time being.
"
Gu Sansong glanced at Wang Yi with an indifferent expression. He was not touched at all by what the old man had experienced.
"That's right, we can't protect ourselves, senior, so we'd better not keep our hopes up."
Bailian also did not agree to what the man in the tree expected.
First, he knew very little about this puppet, and it was unclear whether he was an enemy or a friend.
Secondly, no matter how confident he is, he knows that now that he has fallen into this space, devastation is everywhere in the outside world.
It is difficult for him to protect himself, and indeed he is unable to ensure the absolute safety of the people in this strange space and take them away from this abyssal world.
However, he did not refuse like Wang Yi and others.
Balian pondered for a moment and asked, "Who buried you here?"
The man in the wood murmured: "I...I don't know. I only know that that person is proficient in the art of weapons and talismans and is good at using talisman to control people. I was originally a loose immortal grown from the spiritual trees of heaven and earth. I was killed by evildoers."
hand.
I am ashamed to say that I used stone to refine my body for that man, turning me into the inhuman and ghostly appearance I am now. From the beginning to the end, I have never seen that man's appearance."
Although Balian was disappointed with this answer, it was not surprising.
Being able to bury his chess pieces so deeply shows the depth of his mind and the meticulousness of his actions. People are chess pieces that he discards after use. How could he let him know too much and never constrain himself?
"Since you don't know who turned you into human puppets, why not tell me what you know?"
Although being made into a human puppet is equivalent to being planted with a prohibitive order, if there is no order from the master to allow it.
You cannot decide whether to live or die by yourself.
Even if I want to die, I can't follow my wish. I have been bound like this in the abyss of the dark world for millions of years. I don't know how many years it has been day and night, and I can't move. The feeling is terrifying just thinking about it.
.
However, this man in the woods was able to maintain his mental state from collapse and madness during such a terrible and long period of time, which shows that the depth of obsession and perseverance in his heart are beyond the comparison of ordinary people.
Listening to Balian's question, the old man's decayed body made a rough friction sound among the dead trees. He seemed to be trying to struggle out of the giant technique, but his body was only half able to climb out. From that body
Countless viscous golden sap grows between the gaps between it and the giant tree.
The texture of the juice was extremely thick, as if it had a terrifying adsorption and devouring power.
The old man struggled in the trunk of the tree, but a force of reaction pushed his body deeper and deeper.
The futile struggle made the old man's expression grow darker and droopier.
He lowered his withered eyelids, and his sad expression gradually became calmer: "As my fellow Taoist said, although I don't know who the villain is who harmed us, I know the purpose of doing this."
Bailian said: "I would like to hear the details."
"What the old man knows..." Old Man Mu Zhong's eyelids trembled, but he looked at Demon Emperor Aojiang, his expression lost in reminiscence.
"As I know, this place is the place where the heart of the abyssal beast is sealed, and the bones of my father should not exist in this place. All of this is a conspiracy planned by others."
"Conspiracy?" Demon Emperor Aojiang looked suspicious, wondering why the old man looked at him thoughtfully when he said this.
The old man's withered yellow eyes looked deeply at Ao Jiang, and asked instead of answering: "May I ask His Highness the Demon Emperor, back then, when you killed your father with your own hands, did you follow your heart's decision? Now, do you have any regrets?"
These words were tantamount to touching Demon Emperor Aojiang's inverse scale. He didn't care whether the old man had saved him or not.
He immediately smiled with a stern look in his eyes: "You know a lot, old guy... I never know how to write the word 'regret' when doing things!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The old man in Muzhong raised his cloudy eyes with an old yellow meaning, and at this moment, an extremely stern look burst out in his sad eyes: "Do you really have no regrets?!"
Demon Emperor Aojiang may not even have thought that one day he would be intimidated by the aura of an old man.
He stared intently and looked at the old man for a long time.
This man said that he was a loose immortal born from the wood spirits of heaven and earth...
You must know that the loose immortals of millions of years ago are very different from the loose immortals of the current generation. When my father was there, the rules of heaven and earth had just been established, and the levels of immortals had not yet appeared as the distinction between golden immortals, Taoist immortals, and white immortals.
The most ancient immortal spirits in the world are all transformed by the spirit of heaven and earth. They are summoned by the emperor to return to the immortal platform, so they are called loose immortals.
This old man was able to sustain his spiritual wisdom for millions of years, and he was a Sanxian from the same era as his father. He was probably a Sanxian who was trusted by his father.
Judging from his stern questioning tone as an elder, he was probably still aggrieved for the murder of his father back then.
Demon Emperor Aojiang sneered: "You are questioning me so righteously, are you still trying to seek justice for your old master?"
The old man was startled for a moment, then laughed sadly, with more and more dry tears in his eyes.
He seemed to have fallen into some kind of madness, and murmured in a low voice: "Yes, yes, yes, after living for so many years, I have to seek justice for them..."
The sneer and disdain in Demon Emperor Aojiang's eyes became even more intense, and he said in a cold voice: "Ask for justice? What shame do you have to ask for justice!
When that old guy was still alive, he advocated the doctrine of 'all things are equal' all day long, but in fact you, the aloof gods and gods, talk about benevolence, justice and morality, but in your heart you simply despise all the aliens in this world!"
Demon Emperor Aojiang's mood gradually increased, and a frightening coldness burst out from his eyes: "But it is not unreasonable to have the idea that 'people who are not from my race must have different intentions'. In terms of racial prejudice, our demon clan is also the same."
!
It’s just that the old guy is dedicated to supporting the Six Paths and driving away evil spirits. In order to end the long-term war between immortals and demons as soon as possible, he wants to use the support of my demon clan to get close to my mother to deal with the demons!"
Balian raised his eyebrows heavily!
What is it about these inexplicably similar-sounding experiences?
He looked sideways at Demon Emperor Aojiang: "Your mother?"
If my guess is correct, this guy's mother should have a very high status among the demon clan, otherwise it wouldn't be worth his father's efforts to get close to her.
Sure enough, Demon Emperor Aojiang said angrily: "My mother was the first generation Demon Emperor, who controlled the ten realms of demon clans! How glorious and glorious it was back then! It was the first generation Demon Lord of the Demon clan who wanted to subdue my mother to serve the demon world.
I am willing to cut off half of the territory of the Demon Realm as a reward, which shows my sincerity!
But that villain, Emperor Father! He lured me with love and coaxed my mother into leading the demon tribes of the ten regions to kill the evil spirits for him without even using a single soldier!
At the end of the war, various immortal spiritual practitioners from all walks of life used the title of Immortal Official on the Star Platform, but only my clan from the Ten Domains suffered heavy casualties, but we are not even worthy of being nominated for the book of gods!"
At this point, Demon Emperor Aojiang's eyes turned scarlet red.
Wang Yi couldn't help but laugh out loud: "This is really amazing. Although I am young, I know a lot about the war era of the immortal and demon war. It is not until today that I know that the suppression of me
In that war between the demons, the demon clans from the ten domains actually joined the battle to support them, and even the immortal clan could not even mention it in a single word about such a glorious war record!"
Demon King Aojiang said: "If he regards my mother and me as ashamed, then why did he come to provoke me in the first place? Now that he provoked me, how could he abandon my mother like a shoe after using her completely?"
Wang Yi shook his head and sighed in harmony, and his words were full of regrets: "Think about how glorious the Great Demon Clan of the Ten Realms was back then, but it was enough to rival the two great clans of immortals and demons.
Later, the whole clan was put on the killing list and became one of the evil demons to be killed. A general of the Houxian clan received the edict printed by his father's divine seal and led a hundred thousand immortal soldiers to encircle and suppress him.
At this point, all the demon kings of the ten domains have been exterminated. If you were not the son of the father emperor and have half of the fairy blood in your body, you would have gone with your mother clan long ago."
Balian felt incredible after hearing this conversation.
Although he had never seen the real person of his father-emperor, the historical records of Shence he had read over the years since he was a child had many praises for this legendary father-emperor.
Although he didn't believe those words of praise, he was able to create the world by himself and steal the power of the ancient heavenly saints to nourish all souls. There was no way Balian wanted to associate him with such a treacherous villain.
.
Regarding Demon Emperor Aojiang's words, the old man in Mu Zhong was so calm that it was almost strange. He looked at Demon Emperor Aojiang intently and said calmly: "Father has acted openly and decisively in his life. If he
If you really regard your mother as a shame, how could you be allowed to be born into the world?"
Demon Emperor Aojiang didn't accept this trick at all, and sneered again and again: "Then if I land safely, I still have to feel his grace of not killing?"
The old man said: "It is true that my father needed the power of the demon clan from the ten domains to resist the demon clan back then. It is true that he had the intention to take advantage of the first generation demon emperor and deliberately approached him, but if he had not held it in his hands,
How could the first-generation Demon Emperor be moved by him if he approached him sincerely?
Emperor Father’s intention to take advantage of it was true, but he used it openly and aboveboard, and he told all his intentions frankly before the two clans made an alliance!”
The old man's eyes were filled with sorrow: "That's why you are born. Even if you don't believe in your father, you should believe in your mother. She will never let her child be born into the world amid suspicion and betrayal."
"Even though the bloodlines of the two races are different, and the demons and immortals are different, Aojiang, you were indeed born under the true expectations and love of your father!"
"I don't believe it!" Ao Jiang's face twitched fiercely. Although his eyes were fierce at the moment, there was obviously fear and hesitation in his eyes.
"I won't believe anything you say. It's a fact that the demon clan in the Ten Domains was wiped out, and it's also a fact that my mother died with hatred! Now you come and tell me this again...how do you want me to believe it!"
The old man took a deep breath and said: "You said that the first demon emperor died with hatred, but did she say anything else to you before she died?"
Demon Emperor Aojiang’s head roared!
In the old man's hoarse and pale voice, his long-lasting memories that had been almost forgotten came to mind again.
The undead souls of the ten realms who cannot find rest are floating in the deep sea, and the flaming red demon blood stretches thousands of miles across the snowy land.
The young demon boy held tightly to the woman whose body was about to freeze and die in his arms.
His mother's low voice whispered in his ears. Even though he was about to die, her voice was still the same gentleness that he remembered.
"Don't hold any hatred in your heart, it's not his fault..."
It's not his fault...
But whether it was back then or in this life, Demon Emperor Aojiang could not calmly listen to the last words his mother left for him.
Seeing him in such a daze, the old man's voice became softer and no longer forced him.
"In the battle between immortals and demons, it was not only the demon clan of the ten domains that suffered heavy casualties. The first generation of demon kings used cruel and cold-blooded methods. At one time, they refined millions of demon blood of the demon clan's people into evil spirits, polluting the land behind them.
All the spiritual veins in Shiwanshanze, although the immortals won the war in the end, what they got was just a world of six realms full of devastation. It was the father who transformed his own holy blood into the mountains and rivers, and revived the spiritual energy.
There will be a peaceful scene for future generations."
