Through observation, Jiang Chen discovered that the other party's original form turned out to be a grass.
This puzzled him. To put it this way, the other party had never eaten anyone.
What was that insight just now?
"Tell me your story and maybe I'll let you go."
When Liu Huo heard this, he was silent for a while, stood up from the ground, and looked at the burning tree.
"I was originally a grass in the mountains. I was born with wisdom from the chaos and became a demon. I was soon surrendered by this tree demon. This tree cannot be called a demon, but a demon. I use my flesh and blood to enhance my strength.
"There are no living creatures in the mountains anymore, so we have to deceive them from the outside."
"How many people did you deceive in total?" Jiang Chen asked.
Liu Huo said: "I don't have to do this kind of thing, because I am a demon myself and cannot deceive people."
Because he is a demon, others will be wary of him.
"But I can tell you, there are five lives that have died because of me."
Jiang Chen was silent for a moment, this demon left a deep impression on him.
"Although you were instigated by others and have committed sins, now I will give you a chance to repay your sins."
Hearing this, Liuhuo became very excited and asked: "How to repay, what is right and wrong."
Jiang Chen asked in confusion: "Who told you these insights of yours?"
Logically speaking, demons would not have such confusion, and their ideological realm cannot reach this level.
The other person seemed more like he had heard the Buddha give a sermon.
"No one."
Liuhuo said that he came up with it himself.
Jiang Chen frowned, observed carefully, and found that this guy actually had a wisdom heart, a kind of great wisdom that he was born with.
No wonder a piece of grass can become a demon.
"You are hesitant, and you think this is the normal operation of the world, and you feel conflicted." Jiang Chen tried.
"That's right. Is this normal, or is what I did wrong?" Liuhuo asked.
"In the opinion of most people and me, you have committed a crime, but there is still a chance to make amends."
Liuhuo pondered these words.
To understand right from wrong depends on your own heart.
If you insist on your own way of killing, no one should define right and wrong.
When Liuhuo heard about Jiang Chen's dojo, he yearned for it, but was captured by the tree demon.
Otherwise, there is no need to be as entangled as now.
"Can I follow you and join your dojo?" Liuhuo asked anxiously.
"You can't join me now, but I won't kill you now. You will decide later when you have your own firm path."
Liuhuo didn't know what he was thinking. After a while, he left alone.
"Jiang Chen, if he causes killings in the future, will it have an impact on you?" Qiao Xin asked worriedly.
"It does happen, but I don't care." Jiang Chen said it didn't matter.
Cause and effect is everywhere, but you don't have to be constrained by it, otherwise you might as well be a mortal.
"How is your brother?" Jiang Chen asked.
"No whereabouts."
"Why did you think of the Phoenix Clan's statement before?"
"The monster here thought of it, because there is indeed a phoenix falling here in this sycamore tree."
Jiang Chen was a little disappointed, he originally wanted to meet the Phoenix Clan.
The big tree has burned out and turned into ashes.
The life of a tree is tenacious, and the sycamore tree is not dead yet.
"Logically speaking, since you were born as a phoenix, your wisdom itself has spirituality. How could you think of increasing your strength through flesh and blood?"
This is something Jiang Chen doesn't understand.
The tree demon only had a breath left, which was not used to satisfy Jiang Chen's curiosity.
"The me of today is the you of tomorrow."
After saying this, the tree demon was completely dead.
Jiang Chen felt the aura of the demon clan from it.
This is not a good phenomenon. The devil at the beginning of the new era is not the kind of self-seeking and unrestrained devil in later generations.
They are demons in the true traditional concept.
Bloodthirsty and crazy, focusing on killing and feeding on the flesh and blood of the enemy.
This can explain why the sycamore tree went this way.
Returning to Qiao Xin, Jiang Chen asked her if she knew there was a place called Tianqingyu nearby.
"Are you looking for Xiao Ruo and the others?"
Jiang Chen was surprised, Lin Yueru and Xiao Ruo were from the same era, and it was normal for them to know each other.
However, he never told Qiao Xin.
How did Qiao Xin know this name?
"Now that I have fused my soul, you can think of me as your sister." Qiao Xin said.
A perfect fusion of the memories of the two lives, no one has replaced the other.
Jiang Chen thought that being sad would be a familiar feeling.
"Now we are in the Three Realms. The human realm includes the former Daluotian and the countless thirty-five small heavens connected below. If you have to find someone specifically, it will be harder than climbing to heaven."
Qiao Xin has never heard of Tianqingyu.
Everyone living in the new era has this sigh.
Many people are trapped in one place, afraid to go out for fear of never returning.
There are also some adventurous practitioners exploring unknown areas.
They perfected the territory map at the cost of their lives.
Nowadays, the value of a map is extremely high. For example, if this map on Jiang Chen's possession is taken out, it will definitely be robbed.
Suddenly, there was a sound overhead.
Jiang Chen suddenly raised his head, it was the familiar Feng Ming!
Sure enough, a pair of phoenixes spread their wings and soared in the sky!
The phoenix hovered for a while and then began to land.
This is where Phoenix used to live, and the sycamore tree is closely related to them.
Now that the tree was burned to ashes, I rushed back to check the situation.
The phoenix was still a hundred meters away from the ground when it suddenly transformed into a man and woman.
Both men and women have unique looks and temperament, and their clothes are mainly in fiery red.
"Who did it?"
The two people looked at Jiang Chen and Qiao Xin with unkind expressions.
"Me." Jiang Chen stood up.
"Why?"
Jiang Chen told the whole story.
"The sycamore tree has spiritual intelligence, how could it fall into the devil's path?"
Phoenix looked at each other, not quite understanding.
"It's normal."
Jiang Chen said: "It is very likely that the demon clan deliberately attacked it, because this tree is closely related to you, and you are all Phoenix clan."
"So what?"
Jiang Chen didn't know what to say.
What the demons like to see most is rivers of blood and corpses strewn everywhere.
At the beginning of each era, the conflict between dragon and phoenix is basically a provocation by the demons.
However, when the new era came, everything was cleared, so Phoenix didn't understand the meaning of Jiang Chen's words.
"Wait a moment!"
At this time, Fenghuang realized something and stopped caring about the sycamore tree and stared at Jiang Chen.
As they discovered more and more, the expressions on their faces became incredible.
"Why do you have the blood of the Divine Phoenix?!"
"You are obviously from the Spiritual Clan, so why is your bloodline so pure that it surpasses that of the Royal Family?" (To be continued)
