"Let's go."

Si Yu looked at the female swordsman and nodded.

Then she walked to the steps and moved to the side:

"You first."

Jiang He sneered after hearing this:

"What, are you scared?"

Si Yu didn't take such verbal attacks seriously at all and had become somewhat immune to them.

After Jiang He finished speaking, he stepped forward confidently, but he let out a cry of surprise and took a step back.

There was also a hint of fear on his face.

Si Yu: “…”

Tsk.

I was just laughing at myself, and this is the result?

However, the other party's behavior made Si Yu alert, and without waiting for Jiang He to say anything, she stepped on him.

As soon as I stepped on it, the scene in front of me suddenly changed.

Her mind suddenly became a mess. Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar scene in front of her, she was a little confused for a moment, not knowing where to go or what she was doing.

At this moment, a figure walked out of the adobe house in front of him.

As soon as he saw her, he scolded her fiercely:

"You're a money-loser, why don't you go wash your clothes instead of standing here and being lazy?"

The figure's face was very blurry, but the familiar voice made her heart tremble.

Just as I was about to agree timidly as usual, I felt a huge pulling force on my arm.

The next second, the chaos in her mind disappeared, her thoughts returned, and she instantly understood what had happened.

I suddenly felt scared and even felt a chill on my back.

Just now, she actually felt as if she had returned to that mortal realm.

He became the ordinary person Li Yu who had no power to resist.

"what happened to you?"

Jiang He waved his hand in front of her eyes, looked up at her confused face, and it took him a while to come back to his senses.

"It's okay." Si Yu shook her head, feeling a slight headache.

-

Why can't I escape from that village?

So is this my inner demon?

Is she still afraid until now?

But she is obviously already a cultivator and has powerful strength.

A strong body and a very powerful master,

Why is her inner demon still that mortal village?

Si Yu didn't understand, but she felt that this shouldn't cause her any trouble.

But no matter whether I heard those familiar voices or the illusion I just entered.

Whenever I hear those scolding voices, I can't help but feel afraid, and I can't help but become timid and cautious.

Especially in the illusion just now, she completely forgot that she was a cultivator.

She forgot her master and her fellow brothers, and she was still just a "money-loser" who could not see the way forward and was helpless.

"Why, have you entered the demonic realm?"

Seeing her serious expression, Jiang He also put away the smile on his face.

"You just now, too?"

For the first time, Si Yu looked at Jiang He calmly and asked.

Hearing Si Yu's question, Jiang He felt relieved and nodded:

"Yes, those illusions that appear are actually just what you don't want to face. They are not as scary as you think."

Jiang He didn't know what she was facing, and she couldn't even take a step back.

Instead, he allowed himself to fall into it.

"I know, but I entered into an illusion and I seemed to have forgotten that I was a cultivator."

Jiang He thought about it, and suddenly took out a machete from his storage ring and put it in Si Yu's hand.

"Then take this with you. If you enter the illusion and encounter something that makes you feel uncomfortable, just chop it down. Don't think too much, just chop it down."

Si Yu: “…”

You might as well hold your own axe instead of this.

She quickly put the machete back into Jiang He's hand:

"I don't need this from you, I have one myself."

As he spoke, he raised his hand and an axe appeared in his hand.

-

Looking at her mighty and majestic axe, Si Yu felt inexplicably at ease.

"Ouch!"

Jiang He felt that she was worthy of being a female warrior, even her weapon was so unique.

Which nun from a good family would use an axe?

However, I have to admit that Si Yu looked really imposing when he held the axe.

"Let's go and meet this illusion again."

As he spoke, Jiang He had already taken the lead and stood in front of the Heavenly Steps.

Si Yu tightened the axe in her hand and walked over.

Holding the axe, I felt more confident.

They both raised their feet and stepped on it at the same time.

The next moment, she appeared in front of the dilapidated courtyard again.

It was still the same figure, but it was much clearer than before.

As soon as he saw her, he started scolding her.

"You're a money-loser! The food used to feed pigs is more useful than you!"

Si Yu stood there in a daze, feeling that the voice seemed to come from far away.

The next moment, something in her hand moved slightly.

Looking down, an axe suddenly materialized in my palm, and the winding patterns on the sunken wood handle made my palm hot.

At this moment, an idea came into her mind.

'Chop here, chop here.'

'Hit wherever it makes you uncomfortable.'

As soon as this thought came to her mind, her heart was beating fast, and the hand holding the axe was ready to move.

As if possessed by a demon, he stared at the axe, even his breathing became faster.

Her intuition told her that if she chopped off this part, she would no longer be bound and would be truly liberated.

Subconsciously, she swung the axe in her hand.

The moment the axe light split the morning mist, Si Yu felt that the resentment that had been pent up in her heart for many years suddenly burst forth.

-

The earthen walls shed dust as they trembled, and the beams and pillars creaked in their death groaning.

Si Yu swung the axe mechanically, and each blow accurately split the sharpest pain points in her memory.

The door of the woodshed where she had curled up for countless cold nights.

The well that swallowed her cries.

The wooden sign with the word "cheap" engraved on it was broken into pieces by the axe blade.

At this moment, the faces of countless "relatives" emerged from the ruins and pounced towards her with bared fangs and claws.

"White-eyed wolf."

"Loss of money."

"I should have strangled you long ago."

……

The axe wind suddenly surged, and the black light shattered all illusions like an ink dragon.

Si Yu stood on the hill of rubble and watched the last half of the roof beam collapse.

The morning light pierced through the clouds, and she seemed to see herself at seven years old, kneeling on the bluestone slabs and washing clothes for the whole family, her red, frozen fingers turning white from being soaked in the icy water.

She raised her hand and found that the calluses on the palm of her hand had disappeared at some point.

The blisters caused by the carrying pole and the scars from the burns from the fire tongs now turned into fine gold powder and floated away.

Si Yu suddenly chuckled.

It turns out that you have always been just a paper tiger!

She raised her feet and walked upwards step by step.

With every step, the illusion made a cracking sound.

When she opened her eyes again, all she could see was a stairway to heaven that stretched as far as the eye could see.

And Jiang He could no longer be seen beside her.

Whether in front or behind, it seemed like she was the only one there.
