death retrospective

This secret realm can be regarded as one of the secret treasures of Guiyuanzong's sect, and all suzerains of all dynasties have the right to open it.

No one approached the secluded forest farm, only occasionally one or two black birds flew by, making a similarly miserable cry, which was very penetrating.

Yao Ye tugged at Hao Zhi's sleeve, ignoring Nie Wuji's sharp eyes, and moved closer to Hao Zhi.

"Why is this place so evil, it feels so scary..."

Before Hao Zhi had time to speak, Nie Wuji's voice sounded faintly beside him, "It's not impossible to go back now."

Hearing this, Yao Ye couldn't help rolling his eyes, "I believe Brother Ning Ning will protect me." After speaking, he pinched Hao Zhi's arm and asked with a smile on his face, "You think so?" , Brother Ningning?"

Hao Zhi: "..." Forget it, these two people are hopeless.

Sovereign Yuan still led the way with a smile on his face.

Along the way, the actions of Hao Zhi, Yao Ye, and Nie Wuji did not affect him at all.He is like an NPC set up to complete the task, always proceeding step by step according to the prescribed procedures.

The BOSS once said that the 'secret realm' is the 'truth' of this story world and the core of the whole world's operation. Hao Zhi has never understood the meaning of this sentence.

But now, seeing the appearance of NPC Yuan Zongzhu, Hao Zhi understood a little bit.

Perhaps it is precisely because the 'secret realm' is the core of the entire world, and Suzerain Yuan is the person closest to the 'truth of the story' in the entire world, so the world's rules restrict him more strictly to prevent such important 'NPCs from ' glitched, and the story world simply collapsed.

This is the 'law' of this world.

The more important the character in the story, the more strongly the 'Law' binds him.

And the less important the role, the "law" is not so binding on it, and the character design is more free.

but......

Hao Zhi glanced at Nie Wuji with some anxiety.

Obviously Nie Wuji is the hero, the most important character in the entire "story world", but why, the "law" has almost no binding force on him.What's more, this person can interfere with and modify the plot at will according to his own wishes.

Nie Wuji.....is it really just an ordinary story 'character'?

In other words, is Nie Wuji really just Nie Wuji?

What did Yao Ye and the boss hide from him?

According to Hao Zhi's understanding of BOSS, this person will never do business at a loss.

Restarting the world requires a huge amount of energy. Although the BOSS has this strength, if the other party really restarts the world just because of his personal request, and there is no selfishness involved in it, Hao Zhi will not believe it.

He always knew that the BOSS had some other purpose for letting him into this story world.

But what is the purpose of this, Hao Zhi is still unclear.

He just had a faint feeling.

The boss is letting him be with Nie Wuji.

Or.

Boss wants him to be with Nie Wuji.

Until the moment before entering the secret realm, Hao Zhi was thinking, if the secret realm is the truth of the whole story.

So, do he and Nie Wuji have enough courage to accept the truth of this world?

Noticing that Hao Zhi was in a daze, Nie Wuji grabbed his hand and held it tightly, "What's wrong? Why is your face so ugly?" Could it be that he regretted being with him again?

Thinking of this possibility, Nie Wuji's expression also became serious, even a little cold.

Hao Zhi was thinking about something, and suddenly shivered. Seeing the child looking at him suspiciously, he knew that this person must be thinking about something again, so he hurriedly said: "It's nothing, I just heard that the secret realm is quite scary. Yes, I'm a little scared."

Hearing this, Nie Wuji's expression softened a little, his hands were still tightly grasping the opponent's hand, so strong that he almost crushed Hao Zhi's hand.

Hao Zhi's face turned pale from the pain he pinched, and after calling him several times, Nie Wuji finally came to his senses and relaxed a bit.

Hao Zhi felt that Nie Wuji's state was not right, so he asked one more question: "What's wrong with you?"

Nie Wuji did not speak.

He took his hand and led him into the secret realm.

"Ningning..."

After entering the enchantment, the surrounding area was covered with mist, Yao Ye was still holding on to Hao Zhi's sleeve tightly, but in a blink of an eye, he disappeared again.

Hao Zhi was anxious to find someone immediately, but he was imprisoned by Nie Wuji and couldn't move.

He clenched his wrist tightly and pushed him down in the cloud of white smoke.

Hao Zhi had never been prepared against Nie Wuji, and he fell to the ground suddenly, only then did he finally realize that something was wrong.

He has entered the secret realm.

And the person in front of him was not Nie Wuji.

He drew out the final sword from his waist, and pointed the blade at 'Nie Wuji' on the opposite side of the mist.

"Who are you? Where is Nie Wuji?"

The figure of 'Nie Wuji' emerged from the mist little by little, and 'he' looked at Hao Zhi sadly, watching him pointing at his sword edge.

He didn't hide, and approached Jianfeng step by step until he was getting closer to Hao Zhi.

The fog dissipated little by little.

Hao Zhi finally saw the man's hidden face clearly.

It was a childish, slightly gloomy face.

He looked very much like the silent child from a year ago.

Hao Zhi opened his eyes wide, the sword in his hand was almost unsteady.

This is the nightmare that has been haunting him for a year, and it is the 'lover' who was once killed by him.

He subconsciously wanted to retract the sword, but found that he couldn't move.

He maintained the same posture stiffly, watching the child approach him a little bit, watching the sword edge pass through his chest, and watching him hug him across the sword.

Hao Zhi felt a small, warm embrace and put his arms around his neck.

Before entering the secret realm, Hao Zhi once wondered if he would meet the 'former' Nie Wuji in the secret realm.

If the secret realm is to show what a person is most afraid of, Hao Zhi knows better than anyone what he is most afraid of.

He loves Nie Wuji.

At the same time, he was also afraid of the 'once' Nie Wuji.

However, what he is most afraid of is always being unable to make a decision and face up to his inner feelings.

He is already mentally prepared to accept the vicious curse from his 'lover', and he is also ready to bear the same pain as the other party, being pierced by a sword.

This is what he owes him, and he should pay it back.

But the man just put his arms around his neck lightly.

Give him a restrained and restrained hug.

He seemed to be able to perceive Hao Zhi's thoughts, and seemed to be able to feel Hao Zhi's emotions.

So he reached out to wipe away his tears.

He patted his back lightly, and coaxed him softly: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid..."

Don't be afraid, Ningning.

"I can not let it go."

//

After entering the secret realm, Nie Wuji and Hao Zhi got lost.

Obviously their hands were still tightly held together a second ago, but when they turned their heads, Hao Zhi was nowhere to be seen.

Nie Wuji cautiously walked into the depths of the mist.As he went deeper, the fog became thinner, gradually revealing the outlines of the surrounding buildings. Only then did Nie Wuji see that he was on top of a cliff, and two different images were projected on the top of the cliff.

He recognized Hao Zhilai at a glance, and wanted to go forward nervously, but suddenly stopped when he saw another 'self' in the picture.

The picture from the dream came to his eyes again, this time, he saw the other person's face clearly.

His Ning Ning, holding a sword, stabbed into his heart.

Nie Wuji was so painful that he couldn't stand for a moment.

Knowing that this scene is fake.Knowing that at this moment, all this is just a test of the secret realm, but why, just seeing such a picture, the pain is so painful that it is hard to breathe.

He endured the pain and straightened up again.

He believed in Hao Zhi.

Even if Hao Zhi really did such a thing, he also promised that after he came out of the secret realm, he would explain it clearly to him one by one.

If all this is just the fate of the previous life, as long as they can be together in this life...

He, Nie Wuji, also recognized it.

"So, this is the so-called secret test?"

Nie Wuji didn't look at the picture anymore, he turned around and looked into a thatched cottage on the cliff.

He has been feeling the strong aura fluctuations there since just now, but he doesn't know who is so powerful that he actually lives in this secret realm.

"I heard from Sect Master Yuan that what is shown in this secret realm is the deepest fear in everyone's heart." But obviously, what is shown on this screen is not Nie Wuji's fear. If it is Hao Zhi's fear, it is even worse. Be sure.

"I'm not afraid of the past." He walked towards the hut step by step, the sword energy lifted the roof, and the sword pointed directly at an old man with a white beard inside the house.

Seeing the old man meditating inside the house, Nie Wuji was a little surprised at first, then after thinking about it, he silently put away his sword after he was sure that he couldn't beat him.

The old man didn't even open his eyes, he just said quietly: "This is the 73rd time you have lifted the roof of my hut."

He slowly opened his eyes and looked at Nie Wuji, "This time, did you get your wish?"

Nie Wuji frowned slightly, unable to understand the other party's words, only showing a puzzled expression.

Only then did Patriarch Guiyuan realize that he was still the same Nie Wuji who had no memory.

"I'm getting old and confused." I actually forgot this person's memory, and it will be refreshed every time he reincarnates.

Nie Wuji asked doubtfully, "You know me?"

He didn't remember that he had a relationship with this fairy-like old man.

Patriarch Gui Yuan smiled, "Naturally, and we are old friends who have known each other for many years."

He added: "Only you don't remember."

Nie Wuji frowned even deeper, and was about to ask a question, but was interrupted by the old man, "But it's okay."

"Since you're back here, it means that 'that person' should have failed again."

Although Nie Wuji couldn't understand the other party's words, he still caught the point very sensitively, "Who is that person?

who failed?What did you fail at?Is it related to him?Is it related to Hao Zhi?

Patriarch Gui Yuan didn't explain too much, just pointed to the screen outside, "But I didn't expect you to come with them this time." This point is quite different from before.

Nie Wuji asked back: "Did I always come here alone?"

Patriarch Guiyuan nodded.

"You should have encountered no obstacles along the way, and there is no so-called 'fear'."

Nie Wuji thought about it carefully, and it seemed to be true.

But what does this represent?

Guiyuan Patriarch explained: "As long as you are human, you will have fear. As long as you are human, you will be afraid. The secret test here is only for 'complete people'."

He asked him, "You have nothing to fear, so, why?"

Before Nie Wuji could answer, something flew towards him, and he grabbed it. It turned out to be "Bi Xie Sword Manual".

"I | guard this sword manual for them day and night, if you want it, just take it."

"But before that, I have a question for you."

Nie Wuji stared blankly at the sword manual in his hand, only feeling the blood in his body cool down a little bit.

"Do you believe the world is real, how do you believe yourself to be real, and, what exactly are you?"

"The picture on the cliff case is the fear in that person's heart, and it is all related to you."

"Then what is your fear?"

Nie Wuji didn't know how to answer for a moment.

He always thought that the thing he was most afraid of was Hao Zhi's departure.

but why.....

Patriarch Gui Yuan had already answered for him in advance, "Because you only have desire|desire and no fear."

"Before I ascended, I believed so truly that I was a real human being."

"But when I really ascended, I suddenly discovered that everything I have lived and everyone I have encountered are all fake."

"I am the first and only person in this world to ascend. After myself, there is no one in this world who can ascend. Have you never thought about the reason?"

The truth was ready to come out in his mind, but Nie Wuji couldn't say it out.

"This is your No.70 who came here three times and asked me for the "Bi Xie Sword Manual."

"However, every time, after knowing the truth of the world, you choose to go back to the past and start all over again."

"It's not that no one can ascend in this world, but I deliberately limited the number of people ascending."

Patriarch Guiyuan was the first 'person' to ascend in this world, but the price of ascension was that he was in charge of the rules of the world.

He was horrified to find that the world he had really existed in was not real, and everything was just a story written by others, or a story with a beginning and no end, which would never end.

Since then, he has limited the number of people who can ascend, and no one can ascend except himself.And he also became the first and only person who successfully ascended.

Even if no one in this world can ascend, he will cruelly keep this secret and protect the people in this world.

Ancestor Gui Yuan clearly knew the rules of the whole world and all the plots, so he knew that a man named 'Nie Wuji' would appear in front of him soon.

At that time, what he needs to do is to tell the other party the 'truth of the world'.

Then, that boy will choose to "go back to the past" again and again, restart the plot, and ensure that the story will never end.

Nie Wuji in the story, what he wanted was nothing more than an ascension to the Tao.

However, the truth of the world made him unacceptable.

He cannot accept that he is not 'real' and that the world is not 'real world'.

His story, and even the people around him, are all false.

Therefore, he chose to go back to the past again and again and start over.

This kind of plot has been repeated a full 72 times, and there has never been a mistake.

Until suddenly one day, 'that person' appeared.

"Just one avatar can make such a big change in the plot, and can even change the plot by itself. No wonder 'that person' is so anxious to take you back."

Now Nie Wuji's power is much stronger than when he first met him, and he is more capable of interfering with the world's choices, even resisting the existence of 'rules'.If you continue to let the other party exist like this, the world will collapse sooner or later.

Nie Wuji opened the "Bi Xie Sword Manual", but found that it was empty.

Patriarch Guiyuan looked at him and shook his head.

"Do you understand now?"

"The sword manual and the ascension are all fake."

"Even this world is fake."

"You, Nie Wuji."

Patriarch Guiyuan took a deep look at him, as if he was a little uncertain.

"You are fake too."
