Chapter One Hundred and Three, Skins
The terrifying black countenance, the gloomy and strange old woman, the three eyes on the face, and the spikes that appeared from time to time in the black mist brought me great pressure.
On the stone steps behind him. The gray-haired mountain goblins have blocked my way.
"You're a witch?"
This is actually not particularly surprising to me, if what the mountain spirit said is true, the high-level weapon is in the hands of this old demon, although the witch weapon is powerful. But for those who don't understand witchcraft, it's just chicken ribs.
"Little ghost, hear me clearly, I'm talking about once, before this body got this body that was about to decay, I used to be a witch."
The old demon walked slowly, but there were no footsteps, as if it was floating in the black mist.
"Before this body? Have you changed bodies? ”
At this time, although I am answering, but at the same time, I am constantly paying attention to the movements around me, and I know a little bit about the ability of the mountain demon behind me, but I actually have no bottom on how strong it is after the demonization. And the gloomy old demon in front of me made me feel even more unpredictable. That feeling is not a demon, not a witch, not a human. He was like a demon again, and said that he was once a witch.
Alone, I was confident that I could outperform either of these two, but now that I'm caught in the middle, the situation suddenly turns unfavorable.
"The body is just skin. It's just a shell, as long as the soul is immortal, then no matter how many bodies I change, my consciousness is immortal, my will is immortal, I am still me! ”
The huge black face behind the old demon floated like a cloud, and I didn't dare to get close, but the time for Qinglong and I to merge was limited after all, and the consumption of spiritual power was going on every minute.
"A long time ago. I used to be one of the witch tribes still living in this land, but even after refining our witch clan's strong body, it will decay and decay, and when the body is shattered and the soul has no to follow, it will fall into the underworld and become a lonely ghost. Death is not the end, but the beginning of another torment, and we die longer than when we were alive. Therefore, those ghosts and ghosts always want to borrow corpses to resurrect their souls, because even if they are reincarnated, it is only a temporary escape. Any living thing has to die, and when it dies, there is nothing left. So I began to search for ancient scriptures, and even cultivated forbidden methods that even the elders of the Wu clan were unwilling to touch, but a hundred years, a thousand years, two thousand years, the long days passed, and my body still began to decay. Especially when facing an enemy who is stronger than me, the body of the Wiccan is fragile. When I crawled back from the boundary line of death with serious injuries again and again, I finally began to think, what is life and what is death? ”
The old demon doesn't seem to be in a hurry to deal with me, I can see that it is talking so much nonsense, in fact, it is just waiting for me to consume my own spiritual power, the time for the green dragon and me to merge cannot last, but in the current situation, I dare not move, and it is not willing to confront me head-on.
"Imp, can you answer me? What is Alive? ”
The old demon asked.
I thought about it for a moment and said, "I have a feeling, I have a heart......
Unexpectedly, my answer caused the old demon to burst into laughter, and it pointed at me while laughing and said, "Feeling? Heart? Little ghost, it's not the first time you've been in and out of the rivers and lakes, right, do those so-called living people have a heart? Dead ghosts must have no feelings? After peeling off this layer of skin, is it possible that even all feelings are stripped away? ”
I was speechless, and the old demon shook his head and sighed: "In the end, it is still this layer of skin, and if you put on this layer of skin, you are alive, and if you take off this layer of skin, you are dead." Life and death are actually as simple as that. ”
Many philosophers do not know about the supernatural world, they have not seen real dead souls, and they do not believe that there is another eternal world under our feet.
So, they say, when feelings and humanity still exist, they are alive.
But I've seen too many powerful ghosts who are more emotional than living people, such as Mo Liang, such as Ye Han, who saved the old man Qi Xing in the underworld, without this layer of skin, they are as if they are alive.
"What the hell are you trying to say?"
I asked, frowning.
"This is the beginning of my story, over the years, I have changed layer after layer of skin, there are beautiful girls, there are handsome teenagers, there are demon clans, there are fairy clans, there are ghost clans, of course, there are human beings, I have walked through the city, and I have also entered the secret realm. When I walked through the bustling crowds of big cities, no one noticed any difference in me, because man is such an animal that only sees the outside. So, I understand a truth, as long as I am still wearing such a layer of skin, as long as I keep replacing the skin that will not decay, then I will gain eternal life, it will be forever! I used to be a witch, now I am a demon, and I can be anyone in the future, as long as the skin on my body is not damaged, this is eternal life! ”
The old demon said loudly, and my whole heart was greatly taken aback.
"You're like this, aren't you like a bird like Orochimaru?"
I muttered.
The old demon looked at me strangely, and I shrugged my shoulders and said, "I'm sorry, you definitely haven't seen the cartoon." To get back to the point, it doesn't matter to me what you're pursuing, as long as you give me a high-level witchcraft, we will enter the water and not violate the river, the fight just now is regarded as a misunderstanding, if I fight with you here, you won't be able to please you. Since you want to live forever, peace, without war, isn't it the best option? ”
I followed its words.
"Haha, hahaha......"
The old demon burst out laughing, and my broken arm trembled from laughter.
"There can be no peace in this world, and strife is the true face of this world. Moreover, I have now found better prey than the Great Ancients. That's you, a rare bloodline, a body with unlimited potential, if I get your body, I believe that I can live longer, the body of the ancient demon will eventually decay, but your body may give me better protection. ”
As he spoke, the old demon's fingers moved, and the black grimace in the sky rushed over at an astonishing speed, and a long black shadow slid out of the air, and a large area of dense fog dispersed in front of my eyes, making me unable to see the situation in front of me for a while.
Subconsciously retreated sharply, and sure enough, just a second after I retreated, black spikes suddenly rushed out of the black mist, and the sharp edge slashed across my face, bringing out a trace of blood. Winter pond ba.
"Bang!"
I threw a punch, the dragon claw and the black spike hit each other, the arm went numb in an instant, the dragon claw was the hardest part of my body, but even the hardest part was hit with several marks at this time.
The thoughts in my heart are constantly changing, if I am consumed by the old demon like this, I will die in this black fog sooner or later, and what I have to do now is not to fight hard with this black fog, but to bypass the black fog and attack the old demon's body.
With a flash of my body, I pulled out a black shadow, and suddenly dodged the range shrouded in the black mist, and I rushed towards the front of the old demon, the dragon's claws mopping the ground, pulling out a piece of fire.
"Kill!"
Roared, although the black mist is strong but not as fast as me, it is basically impossible for me to bypass me at this time and want to catch up with me, the old demon took a few steps back, but did not show a panicked look, but slowly raised his hands, and his broken arm hung down as if he could not use his strength.
"I knew you were going to rush over, do you think I didn't notice such a flaw? Ridiculous little ghost, you have very little experience with the enemy. ”
Hearing this, a bad thought suddenly jumped out of my heart, but since I have rushed here, I can only fight!
The dragon qi covered the dragon claws, and at the moment when he narrowed the distance between himself and the old demon, he jumped up suddenly, slapped his claws fiercely, and aimed at the old demon's head with a hard blow.
"Demon law, demon bones become shields!"
But at this time, the old demon's words sounded, and the bones on the broken arm grew out suddenly, and the bones became significantly thicker and larger, and my dragon claws slapped on the bone shield that blocked the top of the old demon's head, and the broken bones flew, and the dragon claws were still strong, breaking through the bone shield, but I was trying to exert force, but the whole arm could not exert strength, and when I looked at it again, my eyes suddenly flashed with surprise.
My dragon claws were actually stuck by the bone shield conjured up by the old demon, and my whole body was lifted high by the old demon and put in the air!
