I'm an actor under the devil

"No?" Nie Wushuang frowned: "What do you mean?"

"After returning from Shangqing Peak, Gu Qing seemed to be a different person. Although he thought he was good at acting, he thought I couldn't find out if he was wearing a mask." Yan Chen recalled the first meeting with Gu Qingyuan, and the expression appeared on his face. There was a touch of tenderness that he didn't even notice: "But he revealed his secrets as soon as he opened his mouth. He actually asked me at that time why I wanted to arrest you."

"The real Gu Qing would never ask this question. That man has been under my hands for hundreds of years. He is like an emotionless killing machine. He will only perform my tasks perfectly and appear indifferent to everything else."

Listening to Yan Chen's narration, Nie Wushuang was a little dazed.

Nie Wushuang recalled the first time he met Gu Qingyuan, when he called himself "Qingyuan Sanxian". He said that the letter threatening to come back was not sent by him. He told his enemy Gu Qing's identity and said that he had a relationship with Gu Qing. hatred.

"Could it be that time..." Nie Wushuang muttered to himself, could it be that the master killed and took Gu Qing in Shangqing Peak, in order to avenge his dead disciple.But if that's the case, why did he pretend to be the great protector Gu Qing behind the scenes?

No, that doesn't make sense.

"I don't understand why he pretended to be Gu Qing." Yan Chen saw through Nie Wushuang's doubts.Although they have different memories, they essentially have a similar way of thinking: "Gu Qing's identity did not bring him much convenience. Tempted, he encountered a lot of trouble, including giving him the Burning Blood Pill, and asked him to kill himself."

"It was the battle in the Red Leaf Forest in Miancheng?" Nie Wushuang quickly remembered, and this was one of the reasons why he had never doubted the identities of the two before. He had personally seen the contest between Gu Qing and his master: "He How did it happen."

"Replacing Gu Qing's identity with a puppet, taking the Burning Blood Pill himself, and then exerting the puppet's strength to the Mahayana stage, while his own strength was suppressed at the peak of the Hinayana. Excessive overdraft of spiritual power and the backlash of the Burning Blood Pill, that time he suffered a lot. I suffered a lot. Later, I even specially formulated poison to take revenge on me." Yan Chen remembered the scene where Gu Qingyuan poisoned himself in front of him, and couldn't help chuckling: "He is really bold."

"But, even if what you said is true, maybe it's just your one-sided words to sway me. It's entirely possible that he can play the role of my master in addition to Gu Qing's identity. So many lives, you just say it' It's not the same person', is it going to be wiped out?"

"Your so-called family members are just puppets of the Heavenly Demon, subordinates of the Demon Cult. I don't think there is any need to prove this. You are Gan Tianmu, and they are just ordinary people. You have no blood relationship with them." Yan Shenban With his eyes closed, he leaned back lazily, and a handful of porcelain-white woodwork appeared out of thin air behind him, holding him firmly.

"What about the lives of the seventeen members of Shangqing Peak?" Nie Wushuang asked.

"I knew you wanted to ask this." Yan Chen snapped his fingers, and the shadow of the forbidden area of ​​Kunshan was reflected in the air. The bodies of 17 people lay flat in the clear pool of past lives. There were no wounds on their bodies, and their faces were peaceful. Looked like he was asleep.

"They were indeed dead. They died after being tortured and killed. It was Gu Qing's handwriting. But you said it was strange. Not long after that, I found these corpses in the pool of the dead. Someone specially repaired their corpses and used The yin and yang Dingshan talisman traps the soul and exists at the bottom of the rebirth pool."

"The Rebirth Pool can freeze time. These people are placed in it, and their souls are still alive. You can save them with your blood."

Nie Wushuang stared at the phantom in front of him in shock, then turned to look at Gu Qingyuan's storage bag, and there were seventeen Dingshan Talismans missing: "Master?"

Yan Chen raised his eyelids and looked at Nie Wushuang: "Who else is there besides him?"

"But why, we didn't know each other at that time, why did he help me like this?" Nie Wushuang was confused, he looked at Gu Qing's body, and then at the smooth water mirror, feeling somewhat regretful.Master treated him like this, he really shouldn't...

"I don't know." Yan Chen glanced at the corner of his mouth, feeling a bit annoyed, why did Gu Qingyuan treat Nie Wushuang so well, when he was not treated like this when he was with that person, just because he was a tree?

"If the [-] members of Shangqing Peak can be resurrected smoothly, I am willing to take the Heavenly Demon and seal it at the bottom of the Rebirth Pool forever." Nie Wushuang thought about it, and felt that the only thing he could do for Master was to seal the Heavenly Demon .If the Heavenly Demon can be completely sealed, the master can at least have a stable environment to practice when he comes back from the water mirror. If the master can't come back... then he has nothing to miss in this world.

"It's late." Yan Chen took a critical look at Nie Wushuang: "The assimilation has already begun. If you want to seal the demon now, you and I must fuse together, and then completely erase consciousness."

"What do you mean?" Nie Wushuang asked Yan Chen with staring eyes, what assimilation, fusion?Why can't he understand them together?

Yan Chen raised his only remaining right arm and turned it into a tree branch: "It means that we are one. There is only one dry sky tree, but after I transformed, the influence of the sky demon on me has become more and more serious. In order to prevent I was influenced by the Heavenly Demon, so I separated a half body, transferred the Heavenly Demon into it, and then deposited it in the Rebirth Pool, which is you."

"After you were lost, all you had to do was catch it back and seal it again. But not long ago, our bodies assimilated, that is to say, even if you were sealed, the Heavenly Demon can still continue to influence me. The plan to seal only half of your body works." If it doesn’t work, integration is imperative.”

The news was so shocking that Nie Wushuang was at a loss for words for a long time before he digested the fact that he and Yan Chen were originally a person, or rather, a tree.

But the shock is the shock. Thinking about it carefully, whether it is fusion and then erasure of consciousness, or returning to the pool of past lives, the result is the same for him.The only difference is that the majestic Demon Venerable will also be buried with him.

"Are you willing?" Nie Wushuang stared at Yan Chen closely. According to his perception, Mozun is not someone who is willing to give up himself for the sake of the world.

Yan Chen's attitude is calm: "If it is necessary, I don't mind doing this. I was originally a tree without consciousness, and now I just return to the original state."

He paused, and added: "But your master is unwilling. He refused to let your consciousness be erased like this, so he took away my arm to restore the original appearance of the Meteor Sword, saying that he would return to Mo In the cloud water mirror, find other ways to deal with the demons."

"Master——" Nie Wushuang finally understood that it turned out that Gu Qingyuan entered the mirror, not because Gu Qingyuan used him to find Shui Jing, but to find Shui Jing, in order to save him.

Master has treated him with the utmost benevolence and righteousness, but what has he done!

"Master, please come back safely." Nie Wushuang reached out and touched the frame of Mo Yunshui's mirror, and murmured.

Gu Qingyuan leaned against the tree trunk and touched the tip of his itchy nose.People from Taichu Mountain and Wuji Gate are finishing the finishing work, withdrawing the nearby formations and cleaning the battlefield.Jiange disciples were also quietly packing up the remains of their dead companions.

The air was so quiet that one could feel palpitations, the masters were tacitly silent, and no one spoke first.

When the rising sun covered the light of the stars again, Yun Li patted Gu Qingyuan's shoulder, his expression was a little heavy, as if he hadn't come out of the night yet: "The formation is gone, we will return to the Jiange."

Gu Qingyuan looked at Yunli, then at the silent crowd of the other two sects, nodded, and followed Yunli to the group teleportation formation.

Suddenly, something lightly tripped over his ankle. Gu Qingyuan lowered his head and found that it was a tree vine that came out of nowhere.He is hooking his ankle with a pointed point.

Gu Qingyuan bent down and untied the vines from the ground: "Are you reluctant to part with me?"

Of course, there was no answer.Gu Qingyuan straightened up boringly, and stepped onto the teleportation array with Yunli.

After returning to the Jiange, Gu Qingyuan felt a vague change in the atmosphere. The Jiange was not as relaxed as it was during the catastrophe of the Heavenly Demon. Instead, there was a sense of tension that was about to come. is also like this.

Since he came back, he hasn't even drunk his favorite wine, and has been busy investigating something.

Gu Qingyuan guessed that it was about the creator of the Heavenly Demon.After all, if it weren't for the catastrophe of the heavenly demon, if it weren't for someone deliberately tampering with it later, Jiange would not have suffered nearly half of the casualties.

If he hadn't mastered the method of controlling Qiantian Muteng that day, it would have been impossible to say that Jiange's elite and himself would all have to risk their lives that day.

Later, the two sects did not make a move, probably because they did not expect that both themselves and Yunli survived, and they were afraid that they would not be able to beat them.

Jiange naturally had to settle this account with the other two sects.Gu Qingyuan wouldn't try to persuade him to make peace, but he didn't intend to get too involved.

Gu Qingyuan was worried about something else at this time.Why would there be problems with the seal after a thousand years, and why he failed to return to the original time and space after successfully sealing the demon.

Gu Qingyuan suspected that Mo Yunshuijing might be needed to return to the original time and space.

In two months, Gu Qingyuan found out that this Mo Yunshui mirror is currently in the hands of the Baishangmeng.

"I can give you a mirror." The leader of the Hundred Merchants Union looked very young, with a thin figure, and a jade wrench that was too wide on his thumb, and he would flick it twice subconsciously when speaking.He looked at Gu Qingyuan with clear eyes, he didn't look like a businessman, but a scholar: "The Hundred Merchants League has its own news channel, although it hasn't been made public, but I know that it was Xianjun Qiantian who quelled the catastrophe of the demons and saved the world. us."

"Sealing Tianmo is the next person's credit, but if you give me this mirror, I won't refuse it. After all, I don't have any money in my pocket, and all the moon gifts from Jiange are used to sell food." Gu Qingyuan finished talking and twisted the table Put the dim sum in your mouth in one bite. If you ignore the bulging cheeks, you can still be considered gentle when you eat it.

"There is no reason to go back on the idea of ​​giving it to Xianjun." The leader of the Hundred Merchants Union greeted, and his subordinates appeared in the room carrying the Mo Yunshui mirror of that height.

Gu Qingyuan looked at Mo Yun Shuijing, and even touched it a few times with his hand, but Shuijing did not respond at all.Gu Qingyuan was slightly taken aback, why he couldn't go back to the original time and space even though he found Shui Jing.

"Since the mirror was given to Xianjun, I don't know what Xianjun plans to do with it, but I can provide some relevant information to Xianjun."

Gu Qingyuan swallowed the snack in his mouth, sat back at the coffee table, and put on an attitude of listening attentively.

"This Mo Yunshui mirror, it is said that there are several taboos. You can't travel in the time and space where you are, you can't mention the future, and you can't change the course of fate." The leader of the Hundred Merchants Alliance poured a cup of tea for Gu Qingyuan: " These are public information, and Xianjun may have heard of them. But the facts are not entirely true."

"The Hundred Merchants Union has made great efforts to study Mo Yunshui mirror, and sent many people into the mirror. They either disappeared in the time-space gap because they interfered with the rules of time and space, or went back to the past, but failed to touch any Things, and even the collected intelligence is pitifully small.”

"What can be confirmed at present, first, after entering the Mo Yunshui mirror, the real time is not completely static, but the flow of time in the past is much faster than the reality, the farther the shuttle distance, the faster the time flow."

"Secondly, everyone can only enter Mo Yunshui Mirror once at most."

"Thirdly, there is a kind of person who will participate in history after entering the mirror. Such a person is called a person who fulfills his destiny. The appearance of a person who fulfills his destiny will be accompanied by catastrophe, and they will lose the future in the past." memory."

When the leader of the Hundred Merchants Union said this, he stared straight at Gu Qingyuan: "I would venture to guess that maybe you are the one who came to resolve the disaster."

Gu Qingyuan didn't deny it: "Then, do you know how this person who is obliged to return to the original time and space after the catastrophe?"

"When the goal is achieved, it will naturally return. The fairy has not left, which means that the wish when entering the mirror has not yet been fulfilled."

Gu Qingyuan sighed, thinking, that can only be a solution to the reappearance time of the demon after a thousand years.In the current situation, I don't know if I can find it. If I can't find it... In fact, this world is pretty good now.

If you live forever...

Gu Qingyuan's heart felt empty for no reason, and there was a voice in his heart urging him to go back.It seems to be thinking about someone, and it seems that someone is thinking about it.

Gu Qingyuan pressed the position of his heart, which felt very strange. Could it be that in the future time and space, in his lost memory, is there someone waiting for him to go back?This was something he had never encountered in his real memory.

Thinking about it this way, it seems that it is not a loss to save the world.
