The fairy world collapsed, and the down-and-out gods were laid off and re-employed.

Chen Piaopiao and Ji Chen, who were trapped in the formation, spread out.

Ji Chen was now standing in the familiar Lingqing Hall. The main hall was hung with red silk, and both sides were filled with immortals who came to congratulate him. Master Kaiyang was sitting on top wearing a purple gold Taoist robe, stroking his beard and looking at him with a loving smile.

He lowered his head and saw that he was dressed in red and holding a red cloth in his hand. On the other end of the red cloth was Jiang Zhixia wearing a wedding dress.

This scene appeared in his dreams many times later, and he couldn't be more familiar with it.

"Zhixia..." He read his name, let go of the red cloth and held her hand tightly.

"Senior brother, are you nervous?" Jiang Zhixia comforted him: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

"Will you marry me?" His voice was trembling.

Jiang Zhixia laughed out loud, "Then I can't be dressed like this just to congratulate you."

Suddenly, his eyes turned red, as if all his previous memories were a dream. In fact, nothing happened. The master is not dead, the spiritual energy is not leaked, and she has not fallen in love with Xie Zezhi...

He was just in a daze in the hall for a while, and now he returned to reality. Next, as long as he worships heaven and earth with her, she will be his wife.

He took her with him and walked towards their master.

"Senior brother, will you always stay with me?" she asked.

"Yes." He choked with sobs: "Always will. Wherever you are from now on, I will be."

"Then you...love me?"

"Love." He didn't hesitate for a moment, "From a long time ago, the only person I loved was you."

He and Jiang Zhixia knelt on the futon and saluted Master Kaiyang. When the couple was paying their respects, Ning Shu walked out of the crowd and said, "You are really going too far. In my memory, you say you love other women and feel guilty about other women."

Ji Chen looked up and saw that she was wearing a long white dress, just like when she came to Lingqing to prevent them from getting married. But instead of a sad expression, she had a smile on her face.

"Zhixia, I won't go with her..." He explained to the person in front of him in a panic. But Jiang Zhixia was frozen in place, motionless.

"I have a few questions to ask you. If you get the answer, she will naturally return to normal." Ning Shu walked up to him and looked at him condescendingly, "Ji Chen, have you ever loved me?"

"Maybe." He said calmly: "Sometimes I can't tell the difference myself. She said I love you, so she fights against the feelings in her heart, and even goes against the promises she made in her previous life. But I don't remember my previous life, and I don't I don’t remember why I refused to admit that I liked her.”

"I don't understand, but you'll know if you try it." Ning Shu drew out her sword and pierced Jiang Zhixia's heart.

Everything happened so suddenly that Ji Chen could only hold her and watch her close her eyes in his arms. At that moment, he seemed to see countless hers dying in front of him, and he missed it again.

It was as if a huge boulder was pressing on his heart, making it hard for him to breathe. He could do nothing but let the grief and pain consume him.

He just held her, caressed her face, and let time pass by.

"I understand." Ning Shu's voice came, "Actually, I wanted you to seriously hurt her that day, so that she would think of all the resentments in her past life and become a demon. But I didn't expect that the person who became the demon turned out to be you. Later, I always thought about it. Maybe you really fell in love with me. It was a heinous crime for me to betray someone who loved me deeply. But now it seems that is not the case.

You're holding yourself back from falling into the devil's realm because she doesn't like it, right? "

Ji Chen didn't answer her.

She raised her hand to remove all the scenes, and everything was white.

She squatted in front of him and said: "I lied to you, and I am the main culprit for you and her missing each other in this life. Although you stabbed me with a sword, compared with the harm I caused you, I still owe you something." Ji Chen, I can help you get it back."

"How to remedy it?"

"Take me out." She raised a smile, as if to seduce him, and said: "I can help you erase all her memories of Xie Zezhi, make her fall in love with you again, and no one will notice anything unusual. She doesn't even know it Know."

Ji Chen was silent again. The two of them just looked at each other...

On the other side, Chen Piaopiao landed in an open space. The sky and land are all white. She saw a woman crying not far from her, with an iron chain tied to her feet.

She wanted to step forward and ask who she was, but Ning Shu's voice came from behind her.

"Chen Piaopiao?"

Chen Piaopiao turned around and saw Ning Shu dressed in white, surrounded by aura, and smiled sweetly at her.

"Demon Lord." Chen Piaopiao called her without emotion.

"Just call me Ning Shu." She stepped forward with a slight sense of oppression, but Chen Piaopiao did not retreat.

"I'm impressed with you."

"But I don't remember ever having an encounter with the Demon Lord."

Ning Shu smiled and said: "That year I rescued Wuchen who was deceived by the son of the Dragon King of the North Sea. She became a demon in order to take revenge on the fairy world. The first person she wanted to kill was Ao Li, and the second was you. But you are obviously Innocent."

She said: "She almost killed you in Wangxian, but I didn't expect that in the end you would go to the Emperor of Heaven to plead for mercy and let her let Wu Shen live."

"She is just a victim." Chen Piaopian sighed, "She was deceived by Ao Li, and she was also used by you."

"Am I using her?"

"Isn't it? You said you were saving her, but in fact you didn't let her understand the true nature of the matter at all. She is just a tool for you to take revenge on the fairy world." She said calmly: "Ao Li is hateful, and so are you. You yourself have been fooled. Yes, but when faced with someone who has the same experience as you, not only did you fail to save her from the fire, but you also caused the local area not to see a drop of rain for ten years. If it hadn't been for the little fairy from the east, I don't know how many people would have died."

Ning Shu did not answer her words, but turned her back to her and asked: "The fairy was a Taoist priest before becoming an immortal. What do you think of the mortal world?"

Chen Piaopiao replied: "In the Taoist temple where I practice, there are many things like flies and dogs, male thieves and female prostitutes. I think this is the case in Taoist temples, but there are more such things in the world."

"Yes." Ning Shu sighed: "Mortals have imperfect nature. They are completely dominated by the seven emotions and six desires. They worship the superior and the inferior, compete for fame and fortune, and are greedy and hypocritical, resulting in chaos in the mortal world. Even if these people become immortals, they cannot make up for the difference. The inherent flaws caused the fairy world to be in chaos. "

"So the devil wants to destroy the world because he thinks that we and mortals are not perfect enough? We have not achieved what you want in your heart, so we all deserve to die?"

"I gave them a chance, and I also gave the fairy world a chance." She murmured: "I tried to prove that my idea was wrong, but every time I got the opposite answer.

Only when I put the knife on the necks of Xue Yanran and Hu Tianyu did they realize that I was wrong; only when I revealed my identity as the Demon Lord, those mortals would obediently obey my orders, and they would not dare to even let them die. Complaining; only if I become a murderous demon can my words be heard by them.

I discovered that in the fairy world or in the mortal world, the only useful thing is not good but evil. And the loudest voice was not shouted from the throat, but from the fists.

Piao Piao, actually I don’t understand why such a fairy world and mortal world are necessary to exist? "

She said: "After my last mortal experience, the first thing I did was to find Jiang Zhixia's soul. I wanted her to have a good destination in the next life.

When I found her, she had transformed into a fierce ghost, and even ghosts could not get close to her. I was curious about why she had so much resentment, so I checked her life, and found that she was no better than me, or in other words, she was no better in every life. I think if that's the case, then I'll just wait for her to become a demon, and then work with her to completely destroy the Three Realms. But in the end, she suppressed her resentment and became an immortal.

I think this woman might be a fool. She was bullied like that, but she didn't want to seek revenge, she just endured it and still had hope in the mortal world.

Didn't she ever think that if it weren't for those mortals, she would be beaten to death outside the city?

Piao Piao, you also came from a mortal world, and you have seen a lot of dirty things in the mortal world. Can you answer me why you chose to follow the same path as Jiang Zhixia? "

"The gods are worshiped by the people, so they must be responsible for them and protect them. This is their duty."

"If you weren't a god, would you and Jiang Zhixia still protect them?"

"Yes! And it's not just the two of us." Chen Piaopiao replied firmly: "I understand why, Miss Ning, you are disappointed in others, and I also understand why Zhixia has never had the slightest doubt about mortals. Because you two are watching The direction is different.

Miss Ning, what you will remember when you return from the mortal world is their evil. You believe that human nature cannot be changed and evil is hard to eradicate, so the only way to solve this problem is to destroy the world until the most perfect person is created.

Zhixia will mostly remember those who were good to her. She has always felt that the current system is flawed, forcing mortals to put away their kindness, kill each other, and show their viciousness in order to protect themselves. She believes that if there are better social systems and legal constraints, people will reveal more of the beautiful side of their nature as social atmosphere changes. "

"You think she's right?"

"I don't know what the correct answer is. It's just that she and I have the same idea." She said: "Actually, Miss Ning, don't you still believe that human nature is good? Otherwise, you wouldn't hide your kindness in the array. You still Leave a way out for mortals.”

Ning Shu was a little surprised, "You actually guessed it. But I didn't leave a way out for mortals, I left a way out for both the immortal world and the mortal world. But there is only one way out."

Chen Piaopiao nodded and took out the short knife in his hand, "I know. I came here to choose the latter option."

"Even if you become a sinner in the fairy world?"

"Even if you become a sinner in the fairy world."
