The strange aura echoed in this empty space along with the heat waves. The fire dragon bared its teeth and claws, and its appearance was ferocious, but it did not continue to expand. It seemed that its current appearance was already its limit. Even so, in that
Under the blazing flames, even the hard surface began to show signs of cracks. On the contrary, the seemingly old and clumsy brazier was safe and sound.
The blazing fire is reflected in the eyes of the beast god, as if his eyes are also burning
On the other side of the flame, the woman's voice laughed lightly and said: "Is your magic power really gone, or are you trying to trick me on purpose? Although this magic circle is not activated by the Xuanhuo Jian, it was originally in
You were destroyed again when you were resurrected, but your power is by no means limited to this."
There was no fluctuation on the handsome face of the beast god, and he said calmly: "Since you are so wary of me, I am a little confused. Why do you have to come to save me again?"
The woman's voice snorted and said: "Didn't I tell you a long time ago? One is for the strange formation passed down by the ancient witch clan, and the other is because I see the pretentious people in Fenxiang Valley.
Old Man Yun doesn’t like it.”
The beast god smiled slightly, as if he did not take the woman's words to heart, and said: "Although Yun Yilan broke the promise, I have never really believed in him. If I had won the battle at Qingyun Mountain that day, he would definitely
Don't dare to add insult to injury, isn't that what most people do?"
The woman said: "It's a pity that he still doesn't know that you are different from me and cannot be killed."
The beast god's eyes were deep, and he slowly stared at the darkness behind the fire. The blazing flames still seemed to be unable to shine into that place.
"How do you know that I can't be killed? What would you think if I told you now that I can be killed?"
He stared at the darkness, but there seemed to be a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, as if it was a bit provocative and a bit tempting, and he said slowly and authentically
The woman suddenly stopped talking. There seemed to be only the sound of burning flames in the whole cave. But somehow, it seemed to be even more dead than when there was nothing.
I don’t know how long it took, but the Beast God suddenly said: “How many years have we known each other?”
After a long time, the woman said calmly: "I can't remember. Not long after I attained enlightenment, I accidentally came here by accident. Speaking of which, why did you look at me differently in the first place?"
The beast god smiled, slowly lowered his head, and the tired look on his face seemed to intensify, and said: "Although I was not a human at that time, I couldn't stand loneliness."
The woman was silent for a while, as if she was a little surprised, and after a while she said: "Why do you look different today? You would never say such a thing before."
The Beast God's shoulders trembled, and he made two violent coughs, but there was still a faint smile on his face. It seemed that in his eyes, he didn't care about anything: "Have you ever seen a person who is about to die?
Is it the same as usual?"
The woman almost immediately continued: "But you are not a human being."
"How do you know I'm not human?"
The flames in the brazier suddenly rose up, like the silent roar of a fire dragon, and then slowly fell down. The eight mysterious fierce god patterns around them also slowly fell down. The light dimmed and gradually disappeared into the darkness. The fire dragon gradually merged into the flames.
It turned into ordinary firelight, and the surroundings darkened one by one. Only around the brazier, there was still some light.
"What did you do to yourself?" the woman asked softly after a long time.
The Beast God did not answer or speak. He seemed to be getting more and more tired. He slowly raised his hand. In the light of the fire, the skin on his right wrist seemed to have lost its luster. There was a faint, dark stripe.
The red Qi veins are hidden in the wrist muscles
The beast god looked at the Qi pulse for a moment, shook his head, and lightly scratched his wrist with his hand. After a while, a cut slowly appeared on his wrist, and then a drop of blood slowly spilled out.
blood
red blood
"How is that possible?" The woman in the darkness seemed so surprised that she couldn't even speak. After a while, she seemed to come back to her senses and said in shock: "You have turned into a human being."
The beast god didn't speak, he just smiled. With such a silent smile, no one knew whether it was a bitter smile or a happy smile.
"No wonder, I have always been wondering in my heart. You were born from the evil spirit of heaven and earth, and you were supposed to be immortal. How could you be so severely injured under the Immortal Killing Sword at the top of Qingyun Mountain? It turns out that you didn't know when.
, have you become the person you always hated? Hahaha, hahahahaha"
The woman didn't know whether she thought it was too absurd or couldn't control herself, so she actually laughed.
The beast god's eyes stared at the drops of red blood on his wrist, but what shone in his eyes were complex emotions that were difficult to express, like joy and sadness.
"I have never hated people." He smiled tiredly, "I am able to come to this world and have my consciousness, isn't it because of human beings?"
The woman was startled and said, "What did you say?"
The beast god slowly raised his head and looked at the flames burning in the brazier. His voice, in this place where darkness and light alternately flickered, seemed to have returned to the long past.
"The first time I became conscious, I saw her. At that time, I didn't even have a body. I was just in a trance. The woman seemed to be watching me. But as time passed, I gradually took shape, and finally I knew
It turns out that she is a human being, a witch from the witch clan’s generation, and her name is Linglong.”
Taotie roared lowly beside the beast god.
The Beast God reached out and stroked its head twice. Taotie became quiet and the woman made no sound at all. She seemed to know a secret that had been covered in dust for countless years and was about to reveal it.
In the eyes of the beast god, gentleness slowly took over all the positions. His eyes also looked towards the distant dark depths and the far side of the cave. There might be a former soul there, listening quietly.
"It was Linglong who used witchcraft and secret techniques to absorb the violent energy of heaven and earth in southern Xinjiang, and extracted the essence from it to create me."
The Beast God said calmly, no one has ever known the origin of this secret that has puzzled me for thousands of years, "Those so-called heroes of the Witch Clan, following Linglong, will definitely put me to death. If they find out that I am actually them
If the respected empress created it with her own hands, I really don’t know how they would feel.”
He smiled slightly. It seemed that the killings and violence in the past had never existed in him. All he had at this moment was just a memory.
"I have asked Linglong many times why she created me, but she never refused to tell me. But then I finally understood that in fact, she was just doing it for two words."
The woman couldn't help but asked: "What?"
The beast god said calmly: "Longevity"
The woman said in a slightly surprised voice: "Eternal life?"
The Beast God nodded and said: "Yes, you think it's ridiculous too? But that's what she did for that purpose that day. Linglong's witchcraft attainments were far beyond those of the ancients. Looking at the world, she was almost invincible, and the witch clan
Among them, everyone was in awe of her like a god. When she was bored, what she did was to find another target for herself. This sounds similar to those who are practicing Taoism in Middle-earth today, but the mystery of immortality is originally
It's the way of heaven. Although she is an extremely intelligent woman, she has always been invincible. Finally, she came up with an inhuman way."
"inhuman"
"Human life is limited. Even if you are successful in cultivating Taoism, you will only live a few hundred years more. However, non-human things often have longer lives, and the creation of heaven and earth, the evil spirits of yin and yang, etc. are all created by heaven and earth.
Since then, since she thought of the Eternal One, she studied it carefully, and finally she created a me out of the lifeless thing."
"She is really amazing," the woman said quietly.
"Hehe" the beast god smiled lightly and said, "Yes, she is really an amazing woman. From the time I came to this world, the first time I woke up, I saw her. Then I don't know how many years have passed.
, she was the only one in my world. Slowly, I began to take shape, and because my body was born from the violent energy of heaven and earth, now that I have spiritual consciousness, I naturally began to absorb the surrounding violent energy, and gradually became stronger.
"
"It's just that she seemed a little uneasy. The way she looked at me gradually became less friendly. When my strength finally began to compete with hers, from that day on, she never showed any affection to her again.
I laughed"
"I was very confused at the time. I didn't know why. In fact, I didn't know why. My power grew so fast. But to me, what's the meaning of power? I just wanted to be with her.
Just together”
"You can tell her, won't she know?" The woman couldn't help but said
"I said it, I said it many times. Now that I think about it, it's probably the same as a child acting coquettishly towards its mother." A faint smile appeared on the corner of the beast god's mouth, but it disappeared again, "But, she never believed it."
The woman was silent and didn't speak for a long time. The beast god was also silent, as if he was immersed in memories.
※※※
The flame is still burning in the brazier, shaking gently in mid-air, and seems to be breathing.
Time seems to have stopped in this dark place, listen carefully
The past years are like ice solidifying memories, melting bit by bit, and then slowly disappearing
Who can save it?
Is it you or me? Or are we all actually, people panting and running in the time, but after all, we can't catch up with the time, gradually grow old, and disappear into the shadows

"Finally, one day, I no longer wanted to stay in the house with only her. I wanted to go out and see. That day, she left for a long time and never came back. I broke the restriction she placed and opened the door to her house.
door, walked out”
"There were many, many, many people, but when everyone saw me, they screamed in fear and were afraid to run for their lives. I don't know why, I started to panic at that time, and then I became angry. Finally, I felt a rage rushing through my heart.
It was at this time when I came up that a dozen warriors who heard the news started to attack me. I parried and backed away. I didn't want to fight with them. I regretted it. I just wanted to be with my Linglong. I just
Just wanted to take a look.”
"I tried my best to speak and explain, but no one listened until I killed the first person by mistake."
long silence
"The young warrior fell upside down in my hand, slowly lowered his head, and bright red blood flowed from his body. I was stunned, and so were the others. Then they rushed over with more ferocity, and as they shouted and cursed
Amidst the sound, I clearly heard cries in the distance. I didn't know if it was the soldier's relatives crying, but from the first time I saw the blood, my body had changed.
This kind of killing is haunting me like crazy. I don't want to kill, but I can't control it, so I do it, I kill."
"I killed many people, many, many people." The beast god lowered his head, but his voice continued.
"I stood in a pool of blood. I didn't know how long I stood. I slowly woke up. Then, I saw in the distance, surrounded by countless people, Linglong was back. She looked at me without blinking.
Looking at me, my face is extremely pale, I don’t know why, I am very scared, I feel like I am really wrong, but I don’t know, I really don’t know what I did wrong.”
"Then, Linglong took action. She attacked me personally. I refused to fight back. I wanted to explain to her. I wanted to tell her that I would never dare to come out again. I just wanted to stay in that room from now on.
As long as I am with her alone, I will be satisfied. I have said this countless times, but she has never listened."
"Her witchcraft is not comparable to those of ordinary warriors. Soon my body was riddled with holes. However, every time these wounds were injured, it would absorb the surrounding vicious energy to recover, and even
I can feel it myself. Every time Linglong hits me, my strength grows faster. Finally, Linglong also discovered this. Her face looked ashen, as if she was in despair."
The Beast God was still smiling and remembering, but after all, there was a bit more pain on his face: "I slowly began to feel that Linglong really hated me, and she used all kinds of witchcraft to deal with me like crazy.
Although my body was immortal, my heart was really uncomfortable, so later on, I ran away by myself. On the way to escape, everyone I met was frightened by me. It was not until later that I realized that
It turns out that what I looked like at that time was really scary in the eyes of ordinary people."
He gently patted the evil beast Taotie lying next to him and said: "My appearance at that time was much uglier than it was."
"After leaving Linglong, I fled into Shiwanda Mountain. Not long after, I found this cave and lived here temporarily. But I wanted to go back. I wholeheartedly wanted to be with Linglong, so I finally went back.
, but what greeted me was this magic circle."
The flames in the brazier made a crackling sound, seeming to be responding to the beast god's words.
"I never thought that there could be such a terrifying power in this world. Linglong used the power of the Xuanhuo Jian to set up the Eight Fierce Xuanhuo Array and summoned the Eight Desolate Fire Dragons. In the blazing flames that burned everything in the world.
"Even though I am an immortal body, my vitality was severely injured by the burning, and my body was completely destroyed."
"I tried my best to tell Linglong that I didn't want to do anything else, I just wanted to be with her, but she didn't seem to listen at all and wanted to burn me to death. Finally, I ran away and fled back to this cave. I couldn't
I know why Linglong treats me like this, but I am not willing to accept it. I really want to be with her."
"After returning here, with the help of the unique ferocious aura of heaven and earth here in Shiwanda Mountain, I recovered quickly. Just when I was planning to find her quietly again, she actually chased me. She brought seven so-called
The brave warrior chased me to this ancient cave, and she came in personally and found me."
"I'm not surprised, because I was originally created by her. If there is anyone in the world who can deal with me and understand me, who else but her? But I really don't understand why she would do this to me. I said to her
After so many words, why didn’t she listen at all? But this time, Linglong actually answered me. She said: In fact, everything is her fault. It was her big mistake to create such a monster like me because I am
It is born of the hostility of heaven and earth, and is born with the opportunity to kill. If I are allowed to live in this world, I am afraid that all the people in the world will suffer misfortune."
"I tried my best to explain to her that I couldn't do it. I just wanted to be with her and I didn't think about anything else. But she just smiled sadly and said that she believed me. In fact, she was not willing to be with me.
Together, but, but what if she dies?"
In the ancient cave, in the distance, someone seems to be sighing in the darkness, for that scene thousands of years ago, but does not know the tears that fell back then, but does anyone still remember it?
"I was stunned, and my heart went blank. I knew that I was immortal, but I never thought that Linglong would die. I still remember so clearly that there were tears in Linglong's pale smile.
After falling down, she once again activated the Eight Ominous Mysterious Fire Array, trapping me in it and burning my body once again, but she could not destroy the essence of violent energy that I transformed into."
"After the magic circle, her vitality was severely damaged, but I was created by her. In the flames, I still asked her, why did you do this to me?"
"This time, she didn't say anything."
"She placed the magic circle in this ancient cave to restrain me, and burned it day and night. As long as I recovered a little bit of my anger, the blazing flames would burn it to the end. She looked at me blankly, and suddenly asked me if I had any more anger.
What wish?"
The beast god laughed softly and said: "Wish, what can I wish for? All I wish is to be with her. So I asked her, why can't I be with her? Linglong lowered her head.
, said slowly, because I am not a human being, not even a living being, it is destined that we cannot be together."
"I faced her in the blazing flames and said loudly: Then just let me be a human being."
His voice suddenly became high-pitched, he raised his head sharply, and shouted loudly towards the dome of the cave.
"Let me be a human being"
"Boom", the four walls shook together, rocks fell one after another, the sound was like beating drums, deafening
In the flying dust, the beast god slowly lowered his head
"What happened next?" said the female voice in the darkness.
"She seemed to be stunned. A long time passed without moving. I endured the pain of burning my body in flames and lost all hope. However, she suddenly stood up, stopped the magic circle, walked to my side, and I looked at her blankly.
Don’t know what she wants to do?”
"She said to me in a low voice: She is sorry for me. Then, she" At this point, the beast god's voice suddenly began to tremble slightly for some unknown reason, "she began to recite a lengthy witchcraft secret spell, and slowly
He pulled out the knife and started to cut himself with one knife after another."
"What?" the woman in the darkness exclaimed.
"I was also stunned. No, I was scared. I was really stupid. I didn't know what she was doing. Slowly, Linglong used her own flesh and blood and even her own bones to build a structure on the ground.
The body skeleton came out, and then she placed me on top of the skeleton. As her spell became more and more urgent, I gradually integrated into this body, and even my consciousness began to slowly blur."
"I heard her voice getting lower and lower, but she was still saying to me: This is the last thing she can do for me. As long as someone finds five sacred artifacts and places them in this skeleton, I will die.
But after rebirth, although my demon power is still there, my body is already a human being. Since I am a human being, I am no longer an immortal body."
"She said that she was obsessed with pursuing immortality and violated the law of heaven. She created a monster like me, but she had an unethical relationship. It was a mistake after mistake. And because of me, she killed countless lives and caused great disasters to the people of the world.
And she harmed me with her own hands, but at this point, she said nothing more, and my consciousness gradually disappeared. In a daze, I only heard her last words: "
"I will always be with you"
I have never understood this sentence
Until I, tens of millions of years later, came back from the dead and stood at the entrance of the ancient cave again
That statue, beaten by wind, frost, rain and snow, tempered by the sun, moon and cold, still stares deeply into the depths of the ancient cave.
