This is a strange world.

If you stand at the highest point in the world and look far to the south, you can see white snow falling from the peak, spreading for thousands of miles, and turning into a long stretch of yellow sand, during which several storms formed tornadoes, turning into strips. The black dragon, straight into the sky, roams freely in the desert.

But if you look north from the highest point, you can see countless wetlands turned into swamps. On the black mud is a black swamp, and on the black swamp is a blue miasma. Not to mention the human race, I am afraid that even the monster race will come here. Stay away from this land.

In addition to the extinction of life, the east and west sides of the highest part of the world are not much better, because the east side is a jungle of giant trees covering the sky and the sun, where monsters are everywhere, and ghosts are everywhere. It is a place that human races cannot touch. , and to the west is a steep valley that cannot be seen to the bottom at a glance. The mist covering the valley is highly poisonous, no less than the miasma of the swamp on the back!

In such a dangerous world, it is reasonable to say that there should be no trace of anyone. However, at the highest point of the world, in the white snow, there is a black tower standing in it.

On this day, there was even the sound of reading aloud coming from the tower.

"Since the beginning of heaven and earth, chaos has been scattered, with half rising and half falling, and finally forming two worlds, the upper world is called the spirit world, and the lower world is called the human world. The human world is divided into four continents, namely the central Kunzhou, Mangzhou in the west, Shengzhou in the north, and Juzhou in the south, and what the human race really occupies is only one of the four continents, which is Kunzhou in the middle."

The person reading turned over a page, and before he could read the next sentence, a childish voice asked impatiently: "Sir, sir! I have a question - the place occupied by the human race is only the central Kunzhou, so why are we in the Here? Aren’t we human race?”

Without waiting for the student to answer, another voice spoke, obviously the voice was equally immature, but pretending to be old-fashioned, and the little adult said, "What a fool! How could we be a monster race? When monsters are as big as us, they all turn into monsters. It’s out of shape! If we want to say it, we should also be the Sand Clan!”

The first voice said unconvinced: "It's not the Sand Clan! The host said that although the Sand Clan is a human body, it is transformed by spirits. Most of the spirits cannot be separated from their origins, and the same is true for the Sand Clan. It is absolutely impossible to leave the desert in the south! We have been in the tower since childhood, how could it be the Sand Clan!"

The second voice couldn't hold back anymore. Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, the student interrupted with a smile and said, "Okay, okay, don't argue anymore. What's the point of arguing? We are Human race, where do so many guesses come from!"

The first person to speak was a young novice monk with a shaved head, who read and held the Dharma name.Nian Chi heard Mr. Read's words, his face was a little aggrieved, and he said: "Then why are we here? Didn't the master tell us that this is the northern Shengzhou? If we are really human, how can we be in Shengzhou?"

Before the gentleman could answer, a tall monk walked hurriedly from outside the pagoda, and clasped his hands together and said to the gentleman, "Master Daoist, someone is looking for you."

The Taoist priest, that is, Taoist Bandit Jing, showed a slight surprise on his face when he heard the words, and said, "Oh? Who is it?"

The monk lowered his eyes solemnly and said: "The man claims to be from Kunzhou in the middle of the country, and he came here at your invitation."

Daoist Bandit Jing was a little puzzled, he didn't realize who he had invited for a while, but he just thought about it for a while, and immediately understood, the hand in his sleeve squeezed slightly, and then he let out a long sigh.

"Let's go," Taoist Bandit Jing said to himself, "Go and see my two nephews."

·

Everyone knows that the northern Shengzhou behind the River of No Return is a forbidden place that humans cannot approach, but what few people know is that in the center of the northern Shengzhou, in that snow-covered world, there is a black tower named For the town magic tower.

Counting from the ground up, this high tower only has nine floors, but it occupies a huge area, majestic, simple and solemn, and there are no people, no demons, and no monsters inside.No one knows how it was built on the snowy mountain, and no one knows why there is no life in the tower—it seems to have fallen from the sky, and it has stood here since ancient times. No one has ever approached or discovered it until 600 years ago.

600 years ago, some monks traveled to this place and entered this black tower. Since then, they have abandoned their former identities, forgotten their former names, and only called themselves Fumoren. Day after day went on in the tower.Occasionally, they would leave the Demon Town Tower, adopt a few abandoned babies, and bring them here. Occasionally, a weird Taoist would come to visit and bring books and news from Kunzhou.

Other than that, there are no strangers or things.

But this day was obviously different for the Demon Town Tower and the Demon Volunteers, because a stranger came here.

Many young monks with undecided minds poked their heads out of the tower, looked down curiously, and wanted to see what this strange visitor looked like, but before they could see clearly, they were scolded by disciples of the Discipline Hall , so he could only retract his head resentfully, imagining in his heart the appearance of the person coming.

And for the few monks who saw the appearance of the strange visitor clearly, the stranger seemed too strange.

"He didn't come alone."

There are monks whispering to their companions.

"He's holding someone."

Lu Xiuze did not come alone.

Of course he didn't come alone, because his purpose of coming here was to save Wen Jing.

Three months ago, when Lu Xiuze met Daoist Bandit Jing in Quhe Town, Hongfeng Country, Taoist Bandit Jing repeatedly warned him that he would kill Wen Jing, but how could Lu Xiuze believe it at that time?And Daoist Bandit Jing didn't bother him too much, he just told him that disasters in the world must be answered by someone, and if one day Lu Xiuze would listen to what Taoist Bandit Jing said, he could go to Chengzhou in the north behind the River of No Return to find him.

Lu Xiuze didn't take these words to heart before, but after Wen Jing's aura dissipated, Daoist Bandit Jing became his last straw—if Taoist Bandit Jing knew that Wen Jing would die, wouldn't he? Is there a way to save Ah Jing?

That's right, it must be like this, if not, why would Daoist Bandit Jing ask him to go to Chengzhou in the north to find him?

Therefore, Daoist Bandit Jing became Lu Xiuze's last hope, the last solution that Lu Xiuze could think of, so that day, he hugged Wen Jing, jumped down from Cangxue Mountain, crossed the River of No Return, and broke through the storm The raging desert took three months.

And when Lu Xiuze saw the black Demon Suppressing Tower from a distance, a voice in his heart told him: Here we are.

Here it is.

He's finally here.

When Lu Xiuze didn't find this place, he searched hard, but when the destination was already in sight, he couldn't help but shrink back, because this was his last hope, but if he got here, Daoist Daoist Mirror The answer is helpless, so what should he do?

Lu Xiuze thought for a while, looked down at Wen Jing in his arms, and muttered to himself: "It's okay... Ah Jing, I will find you."

Up to the poor and down to the underworld... No matter where, no matter what time... He can always find Ah Jing.

After all, Ah Jing was never willing to ask him to wait too long.

Afterwards, Lu Xiuze walked to the Demon Suppressing Tower, and told the two astonished gatekeeper monks about his purpose.

"I'm from Kunzhou in the middle of the country, and I'm here at the invitation of Daoist Bandit Jing."

A moment later, Daoist Bandit Jing walked out from the depths of the Demon Suppressing Tower, and smiled slightly at Lu Xiuze: "You are here."

Lu Xiuze said, "I'm here."

Bandit Jing said humanely: "I've been waiting for you for a long time—come with me."

But Lu Xiuze didn't follow, he just stood there, looked at Daoist Bandit Jing stubbornly, and said, "No need, I just came to ask you a question."

Daoist Bandit Jing looked at him deeply, even though Lu Xiuze didn't show any flaws on his face, he still saw through Lu Xiuze's calm madness at a glance.

— Just like the person from many years ago.

Daoist Bandit Jing lowered his eyes slightly, and landed on Wen Jing's face.

At this time, Wen Jingli has been dead for three months, but at this moment he still retains his appearance before death, his face is reddish, and his expression is calm, as if he just fell into a deep sleep, as long as he gently shakes, eyes will open.

Daoist Bandit Jing sighed slightly in his heart, and when he raised his head again, the sly smile that always hung on his lips was replaced by coldness, and he paused word by word: "I can't save him."

Lu Xiuze lowered his eyes and slowly closed them. Unexpectedly, there was no disturbance in his heart. Instead, he seemed to be pushed and made the final decision.

But the next moment, Taoist Bandit Jing said again: "But I know how you can save him."

Lu Xiuze suddenly raised his head and looked at Daoist Bandit Jing in disbelief.

Daoist Bandit Jing nodded slightly and said affirmatively, "You can save him."

Lu Xiuze stood silent for a moment, then suddenly seemed to be exhausted, staggered back two steps, knelt down, and burst into tears.

"Ah Jing..." Lu Xiuze hugged Wen Jing tightly, choking with sobs.

Taoist Bandit Jing looked at Lu Xiuze's appearance at this moment, and heaved a long sigh, not knowing whether it was sadness or joy.

"You've become a real human being."

After so many years, that "existence" that wandered outside the world has finally left the altar, and has become a person who can cry and laugh, both sad and happy.If Wei Wei was still alive, he would probably feel relieved after seeing this scene, right?

Wei Wei always felt that if a person is ruthless and only seeks longevity, he is no different from a tree or stone.That being the case, it would be better to simply wipe the neck, re-enter the cycle, and be a stone for generations to come.

But love is suffering, love is suffering, cause and effect are suffering, fate is suffering, meeting is suffering, parting is suffering...the world is suffering, why not be a heartless person in order to escape suffering?

And you are born ruthless, and you can live a long life, why do you want to look down at the world and learn the word love?

Daoist Bandit Jing didn't know the answer, so he just looked at Lu Xiuze quietly until Lu Xiuze calmed down completely, and then said, "Follow me."

Daoist Bandit Jing walked into the tower and walked through the huge Demon Suppressing Tower, while Lu Xiuze hugged Wen Jing and followed behind Taoist Bandit Jing.

Along the way, all the monks I met in the pagoda were monks, and these monks also respected Taoist Bandit Jing very much. Occasionally, a few young monks ran to Taoist Bandit Jing and asked some weird questions chirping. Soon he was sent away by Taoist Bandit Jing.

In this way, the two walked unimpeded all the way, walked through countless corridors, and climbed countless steps, and finally came to the highest place of the Demon Town Tower.

At the highest point of the Demon Suppressing Tower, apart from the outer circle of corridors, there is a huge circular room in the middle. The door of this room is tightly closed, and there is a faint light inside, which seems to be attracting people. Pull it apart to see what is hidden in such a huge room, but neither Lu Xiuze nor Daoist Bandit Jing cast a glance at this room.

Daoist Bandit Jing stopped in this corridor, staring at the scenery under his feet at the highest point in Chengzhou in the north. After a while, he said without beginning and end: "Although this world is full of suffering, it is not so happy. But I still want to protect it."

Before Lu Xiuze could speak, Taoist Bandit Jing said again: "Let me ask you, do you know what your real heel is?"

Lu Xiuze was silent for a while, his voice was astringent, and he said, "It's fire."

When Lu Xiuze released the other side of his soul on Wuchang Mountain in Tianjian Palace in a hurry, he sank into the memory of the other soul.

In that memory, he saw a dark world where golden flames and black flames were like lotuses with parallel stalks, blooming quietly. Among them, the golden flame was burning like the sun, and the black flame was like the shadow of the golden fire, dim. Inexhaustible, almost completely suppressed by the golden flame.

It was a weird golden color, but Lu Xiuze knew it immediately when he saw this scene - this was him.

In other words, one of the flames was him.

Then, time passed quickly, and after an unknown amount of time, a gap opened in the dark world. The black flame was ecstatic, regardless, and ran to the end of the gap with all its strength, but the golden flame still hesitated and refused to leave easily. But it was born side by side with the black fire, and when the black fire left, it had no choice but to leave, so they rushed out of this dark world together, turned into shooting stars, and passed through this colorful world.

They headed north all the way, originally wanting to find a place to land and think about the future, but for some reason, when they left their original location and appeared on a new continent, countless auras chased them.

These auras are so weak, they should be vulnerable in their memories, but their strength was exhausted by time in that dark world, so they had to be chased by these weak auras in their memories and fled in embarrassment.

But soon, they thought of a way.Under the leadership of Black Fire, they worked together to play a trick to shake off those breaths and land quietly in another place. However, before landing, they had a dispute, because Black Fire felt that they should be completely separated and became two different people. However, Jinhuo kept its promise back then and would never allow such a dangerous existence as Blackhuo to walk independently in the world.

But in this entanglement, they made a mistake, fell into the belly of a peasant woman, and took on a human form.

Hei Huo didn't want to be trapped in a human form, but Jin Yan didn't want to let Hei Huo break out of his body and kill people, so under Jin Yan's suppression, they both fell into a deep sleep.

Afterwards, a man who was not a stranger to Lu Xiuze came here stepping on a three-color gourd, and said to the peasant woman with a smile, "I see that the sky has changed, and I came here chasing demon stars..."

Another month later, the baby opened his eyes, but what he held in his eye sockets were not human eyeballs, but flashing golden flames!

Since then, no more troubles.

Although Lu Xiuze still didn't understand where the fire came from, he no longer worried about why he only had a human form but no human heart.

Hearing Lu Xiuze's answer, Daoist Bandit Jing nodded and said, "Then what do you think you are?"

This is the second time Taoist Bandit Jing asked him, and the first time, Lu Xiuze replied, "I am what you are", but at this time, Lu Xiuze said, "I don't know."

Bandit Jing said humanely: "Although you are wearing a human body, you shouldn't be trapped in it... Do you still remember that when you pierced your heart, what gushed out of your heart was not blood, but fire?"

"Yes." Lu Xiuze nodded slightly, a little surprised, he didn't expect Taoist Bandit Jing to know this, but he immediately understood what Taoist Bandit Jing really meant, "You want to say, I'm still hot now?"

Taoist Bandit Jing said: "Yes, you are not only a fire, but also a fire of salvation!"

Salvation fire?

These words were really beyond Lu Xiuze's expectations, because he thought that with his temperament, it would be great if he could not be put on the head of a world-destroying demon. He never thought that there would be a day when he would be called "salvation".

But none of that matters.

Lu Xiuze asked eagerly, "That's why you said I could save Ah Jing?"

Bandit Jing said humanely: "Not bad."

Lu Xiuze became more and more urgent: "What should I do?"

"Don't worry." Taoist Bandit Jing shook his head and said, "Although you can save him, the hardships involved cannot be summed up in words, and you may not be willing to—"

"I am willing."

Before Taoist Bandit Jing finished speaking, Lu Xiuze interrupted him, looked at him solemnly, and said word by word: "I am willing."

"As long as I can save Ah Jing, I'm willing to do anything!"
