[Gu Jian III] The Days I Worked in Xuanyuan Hill

Seeing such a guy who can be recognized as non-human at a glance in the base camp of the demons, I should have dragged my teammates to escape or open monsters immediately, but probably because there was not much murderous look in my eyes, I unexpectedly I froze there for a while.

With golden eyes calm and indifferent, he leaned on the window frame with one hand, lowered his head and jumped into the room.He didn't have any weapons in his hands, but with a terrifying pressure, he walked slowly towards me step by step.

I couldn't help but take half a step back: "You are..."

"Why are you coming back?"

He interrupted me, and Shutong stared at me closely, his eyes were indescribably complicated.At first glance, it looks indifferent, but if you carefully distinguish it, you can see the anger, hatred and... nostalgia?

"Who are you?" I looked up at him. "I've never been here before. What do you mean 'come back'?"

He let out a short chuckle and, without answering, just raised his hand and held it out towards my face.

I should have avoided it.But in a trance, the surrounding scenery seemed to disappear, and I was still standing there, but not in the central tower of the demon city. There seemed to be a breeze blowing around, and the heroic man in front of me looked at me with a smile. Stretching out his hand to rub my hair, he said with a smile: "When we come back this time, we will go to the patriarch, when the time comes..."

"Shh!"

A sharp sword wind blocked the man's hand that was about to be placed on top of my head, and also interrupted the outrageous flirting in my mind.Jinyun's sword was only an inch away from the man's neck, but the man's expression didn't fluctuate at all, he just squinted his eyes slightly. After entering the room, he finally gave a look to everyone other than me.

"Soul of Sword?" He frowned, "Soul of Sword in 2000 is rare."

In an instant, I felt like I was struck by lightning, and my mind went blank.

"You...what did you say?" I stammered, "Sword Soul? What is Sword Soul? Who... who is Sword Soul?"

"You even forgot this?" The man looked at me again, "Didn't you forge the sword yourself?"

I was stunned for two seconds, then quickly turned my head to look at Jinyun—his sword-holding hand was steady without any tremor, and there was no emotion on his tense face, but I could clearly see the same expression in Jinyun's eyes as he was familiar with him. The Pupil Earthquake...

The man looked at me for a while, his eyes gradually showed some sarcasm, and his thin lips curled slightly: "Oh, I just discovered that even you are not human anymore. Your persistence for thousands of years is really ridiculous."

I:? ? ?

wait wait wait!A second ago, we were fine, why are Jinyun and I suddenly not human anymore? !

When Jinyun and I faced each other in a daze, and were completely shocked by the other party's new racial identity, Gu Yebai who had been standing beside him suddenly opened his eyes wide and pointed at the man with one hand: " Xin Yi! I remembered, you are Xin Yi!"

Xin Yi, the royal family of Xin Shang City, the mighty Heavenly Demon, from the name, should be the owner of this palace.

He gave Gu Yebai a look of charity, and the smile on his face deepened a bit: "It's really a coincidence today, I thought it was catching thieves, but I didn't expect that the three thieves were all descendants of old friends."

He stretched out a hand, and his fingertips rested on the edge of Yong'an's sword.The divine soldier who could cut gold and cut jade did not leave the slightest scar on that jade-like finger.He seemed to no longer care about the mess in the secret room, turned around and walked outside, and said lightly: "Come with me, this is not a place to talk. Xin Shangcheng has always been tolerant to the old man."

Jinyun and Gu Yebai and I quickly exchanged glances.

Me: go or not?

Jinyun: Behavior is weird, I'm afraid it's deceitful.

Gu Yebai: Is it true that you can beat him?Is there any difference between being killed by a group of demons and being killed by a demon?

"..."

Gu Yebai's reason was so convincing that the three of us followed Xin Yi's footsteps without hesitation.

After a long detour, we followed him to a place that looked like the main hall of a courtyard house.Xin Yi sat down comfortably and looked up at us: "Tell me, what do you want to ask?"

"What do you mean after the old people? Do you know our... ancestors?" I couldn't wait to ask.

"To be precise, there are only two of them after the old friend," Xin Yi pointed at Gu Yebai, "and you are the real old friend."

A silence.

Xin Yi was half lying on the chair, with his eyes slightly closed, and said in a steady voice: "A long time ago, when the gods and humans lived in the same world, there was a human tribe named Anyi, which was the largest tribe at that time. One of the tribes. The people of Anyi are brave and good at fighting, and they are good at casting. Later, Xiling and Longyuan’s sword casting methods were not as good as those in Anyi. During the time of Chi You, the fourth patriarch of Anyi, Chi You’s younger brother Xiangyuan It brought the method of casting swords in Anyi to the peak, and forged the ancestor sword of the divine sword."

I think this period of history is a bit familiar. I recalled it a bit. It seems that these plots have happened in the previous generations of the ancient sword played before time travel?

Without giving me a chance to think, Xin Yi continued: "In Anyi at that time, there were many outstanding warriors. In addition to the patriarch Chi You and Xiangyuan, there were also a group of tribal leaders, Shangling, Baimu, and...Ning."

He opened his eyes and looked at me with cold eyes, as if he was looking at another person through me: "Ning is a female warrior, but she is born with supernatural power, and in terms of strength, she is no weaker than any man in the tribe. Everyone in Anyi They all respected her. Later, Chiyou, the patriarch, ruled Shenzhou and fought against the god Fuxi in the new city of Anyi. The battle was extremely tragic. Chi You stabbed Chi You's left arm with the ancestor sword, and the blood of the gods splashed on the ground. At that time, in order to fight against Fuxi, Anyi Almost all the warriors of the clan were on the front line. The blood of the gods stained the turbid air and the power of resentful souls on the ground, and instantly turned into the most terrifying curse. Almost all the clan in Anyi, except those who were not in the tribe, were infected with this curse. A curse."

He tilted his head and smiled slightly: "Do you know how they are?"

"Are they... all dead?"

"Death? Worse than that. They mutated, from humans to monsters that were neither human nor ghost. Some gave birth to bird wings, some gave birth to fish tails, and some became I don’t know what they are half-human, half-beast...Many people lost their minds and turned into such monsters, and began to kill each other with their own kind. Killing seems to have become their nature, as if the more they kill, the more Sober. In the end, there were thousands of people in Anyi, and only less than one-fifth of them remained... No, in a sense, all the people in Anyi should have disappeared. They became another species, and later humans Call them the Primordial Demons."

Even though it was a warm summer night, I felt as if I had been poured with a basin of ice water, and every pore shivered with trembling.

The Primordial Demon, the most powerful and mysterious demon.After the fall, even the corpse will become a treasure for other low-level monsters to fight for.Many people even doubt whether the ancestor demon is a demon, because there has never been a precedent for a great heavenly demon to advance into an ancestor demon...

Now, I finally got the answer, the Primordial Demons are not demons, they were originally human beings contaminated with Fuxi's blood.

"...You said almost, that is to say, there are still people who survived the disaster, right?" I said in a difficult voice, "The strongest fighters you mentioned in Anyi, Shang Ling, Baimu, and... Ning... ..."

"They weren't spared either." Xin Yi interrupted me, "The stronger the human being, the stronger the primordial demon turned into. Shangling and Baimu almost transformed demons on the spot, but Ning..."

A cruel smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Ning didn't become a demon, she committed suicide."

"..."

"She is an extremely stubborn warrior. She said that even if she dies, she will die as a human being. So when the remnants of Anyi wake up and everyone plans revenge, she will be the strongest warrior in the tribe. , became the first deserter."

"..."

I can't speak.

Xin Yi's story was obviously told to me, but I couldn't make an objective evaluation on it. I was in a dilemma. After deliberating for a while, I said hesitantly: "She died when everyone planned. The matter is indeed a bit unreasonable, but it is just because of this that she is called a traitor, isn't it a bit..."

Xin Yi looked at me with a half-smile: "Do you think that the cursed Anyi people stained with the blood of the gods can die as easily as ordinary humans?"

"……if not?"

"People who are contaminated with filthy divine blood will not be eliminated from life to life. Ning died as a human being, and was reincarnated as a human again and again. The ridiculous thing is that even if she reincarnated and lost her memory, she has always been a human being. She is proud and has become a demon-slaying warrior time and time again. She has killed countless inferior demons, true demons, heavenly demons, and... the ancestor demons."

Xin Yi looked at me coldly, his vertical pupils once again showed the same killing intent as when he first saw him.He paused and said: "Ning has made great achievements in every life, until she became a Tianyao warrior, and even became the leader of the tribe at that time. She led the army to attack Luanyu Mountain, the headquarters of the demon clan at that time. She killed hundreds Heavenly Demon, and severely wounded the Primordial Demon stationed there—Hundred Eyes.”

I sat there blankly, and the words that the ancestor demon said to me when I died in the previous life suddenly appeared in my mind.

"You have become like this, you are really embarrassing and weak..."

"800 years ago, when you seriously injured me and sealed me here, did you know that today would come?"

"Look at your current appearance, who would have thought that Tianyao's... would become what he is now?"

800 years ago, Tianyao seriously injured the sealed primordial demon.

It's all right.

"Remember?" Xin Yi put one hand on his lap, staring at every expression change on my face, "Baimu... She was Ning's little follower back then, and she used to be a comrade-in-arms, but she... ...Abandoned the tribe for the first time, seriously injured him for the second time, and even killed him personally for the third time. Such a person is not considered a traitor, so what else? Are you right... Ning?"
