hell in disguise

Heaven and man are transformed from lotus flowers in different treasure pools.If a pair of immortals are in love, they can leave the blood essence of the two of them in the treasure pool born in the heaven where any one of the immortals lives after obtaining the permission of Lihentian, and a lotus will be watered.When the lotus flower matures and blooms, there will be their offspring in it.

Jiedi's birth was no exception, but he didn't know who his mother god and father god were.He was born in a thousand-leaf golden lotus in the most noble Maha Kassapa Pond in Hehuazizaitian. When he was born, he was surrounded by immortals, the sky rained wonderful flowers, and the phoenix sang harmoniously.After all, only this lotus has been born in the Mahakassapa Pond for five kalpas, and it has been budding for a whole kalpa before it finally blooms.That day, every day in the heavenly court, this story was circulated, and all the gods rushed to tell each other, all of them were amazed.

There are rumors that the god who dripped the blood in this pool was one of the ancient gods who have long disappeared - the goddess of auspiciousness, so although he did not have a definite mother god and father god like other young gods when he was born , but was immediately adopted by Nine Heavens Xuannv, and her status became more and more noble.All the gods said that in the future, he will be the Lord of the Other Transformation Freedom, and will bring unparalleled changes to this world.

Such a big event naturally alarmed Li Hentian, Xi Wang's mother came to visit him, and gave him a noble name: Bo Xun, which means infinite light in the language of heaven.

But Jiedi doesn't like this name, he prefers Jiedi, the Nine Heavens Empress, to give him a nickname.

No matter it is morning or evening, he can always see several moons of different sizes in the sky.The largest one will occupy half of the sky in the early morning, and the circular mountain shapes on it are clearly visible.When Jiedi was still a young god, he liked to climb to the top of the tallest bodhi tree in the Kasyapa forest, sit among the emerald leaves that swayed with the breeze, blowing the morning breeze with the fragrance of lotus, and stretched out his hand to catch it. The silver light sprinkled from the big moon.The moonlight streamed down from his fingertips, and scattered in the twilight like silver dust.

Empress Jiutian would embrace the moonlight with her colorful long sleeves, and gently drape it over his body.Her milky eyes looked at him and smiled, telling him that those moons were still infant days, not yet had a chance to give birth to life.In the distant future, it may also become a heaven as rich as Hehua Zizai.So when he looked at those moons, he was always fantasizing about the future. On the vast and cold land that had experienced countless pains and baptisms from meteorite impacts, a beautiful planet that was completely different from his Huazizaitian and full of vitality was born. .

Later, when he saw Kannamara's silver hair, the first thing he thought of was the silver moonlight he had stared at when he was young, and those bright yellow eyes reminded him of the desolate, lonely, Scarred land.

He wanted to heal the sadness in those eyes, and wanted to sprinkle a piece of rain in the desert and plant the most beautiful flowers.

But he is not qualified.

Even this feeling, he is not sure whether it really comes from himself.

Qian Na Zheng raised the knife neatly and cut the throat of a rare ice stone wolf.The scorching dark purple blood spurted out hotly and splashed on the face of Qian Na, making the stern lines on his face more wild and bloodthirsty.He neatly cut open the tendons connecting the fur and muscles, peeled off the whole wolf skin, then strode up to him who was shivering, and put the wolf skin on him with a wave of his hand.

The strong smell of blood and the hot and humid feeling of flesh and blood made him want to vomit, but his stomach was empty and he couldn't vomit anything.Probably seeing his discomfort, Zanna tightened his neckline for him, and sighed, "Be patient, we Qinglin ghosts use this method to keep warm in winter."

He nodded silently and murmured, "Thank you."

Qian Na turned around and continued to deal with the corpse, cut out the internal organs and put them aside, then cut off the meat piece by piece, and cut it into as small pieces as possible.He put the meat in front of Jiedi, "Eat some, or you won't be able to leave this forest."

Looking at those deep purple bloody pieces of meat, how could he eat them.But he knew what he said was right.He has to live.He stretched out his hand and picked up a small piece, closed his eyes, and stuffed it into his mouth forcefully.The stench immediately filled the nose and mouth, and the meat was sour and hard, making it impossible to chew.He had never eaten such a disgusting thing, and his physical reaction forced him to spit out the meat, which made him extremely painful.

However, this kind of meat is already a rare delicacy for Nana.I saw that Qianna grabbed the heart, put it in his mouth and took a big bite.Purple blood gurgled from his lips.

Unfamiliar memories came to mind, and it was also the appearance of Eunna eating like this.He likes to leave the best meat to the owner of the memory, while he himself eats those unpalatable internal organs.The owner of that memory thought for a long time that Gu Na really likes to eat offal.

It seems that such imperceptible tenderness is indeed engraved in the bones of this Qinglin ghost.He can be so considerate even for a celestial being like himself who has never lived before.

Jiedi said, "I can't eat so much, you can eat it."

Qian Na glanced at him, frowned, "Can't eat it? Is it too fishy?"

"No... I'm not hungry."

It seemed a bit awkward.He thought for a while, looked around for a while, and then took the pieces of meat over, suddenly a blue flame appeared in his palm.I saw him start to use the flame to roast the pieces of meat, and soon, those pieces of meat made a hissing sound, overflowing with thick fat.The original fishy smell has also become mellow.

"It may not be as delicious as the fairy fruit delicacy in your heavenly court, but it is eaten like this in the world, maybe it will be better." Zun Na handed him the roasted meat again, "Try it."

Jie Di was speechless.

Why should he be so kind to an enemy like himself?

Is he really a ghost?Is it really the so-called lackey of heaven that those hell believers say is to squeeze their compatriots for short-term benefits?

He put the piece of meat in his mouth. Although it was still hard to swallow, it was not as disgusting as before.He forced himself to eat all the meat, because seeing the relaxed expression on his face when he swallowed it made him feel at ease.

But in the next moment, Kanna's expression suddenly changed.

Jie Di asked, "What's wrong?"

"I used the will-o'-the-wisp just now, and it probably alarmed the people nearby." Qian Na said in a low voice and quickly, "Someone is coming."

It was obviously a life-threatening moment, but for some reason, Jiedi became very calm.

Since he has already lost, it is only natural to admit defeat.It's just that he doesn't want to drag the green scale ghost in front of him.

"In that case, leave me to them." Jiedi calmly raised his starry eyes and looked at Qianna.But he didn't expect that, but he didn't consider this possibility at all, and even stared at him a little angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about. Since you have already promised to help you, there is no reason to go back on your word. You just lie down and lie down. No matter what happens for a while, don't make a sound or move, just pretend to be dead."

Just as he was talking, he saw two figures, one green and one red, gradually approaching through the icy forest.Jianna pushed Jiedi down, covered Jiedi's face with his hands full of blood, and then put on his wrists two bracelets that were equipped for every Qinghong Wuchang who came out to search at that time, which can slightly restrain the supernatural power of heaven and man. Magic bracelet.Such a bracelet is of course like a toy to Jiedi, but at this moment he is extremely weak, and it does suffocate his breath, and the bone-piercing cold stabs him fiercely from all directions like sharp needles again.

He felt the cold as a poisonous snake penetrated his skin, tearing his flesh.Visible blue thin lines spread on his skin, and the originally delicate and white skin began to dry and peel, until it cracked.The bright red blood gushed out, and was instantly condensed into ice flowers.That kind of pain is like being tortured by Ling Chi, but it looks like a red lotus blooming all over the body, which is very beautiful, so beautiful that it is cruel.

Even though he tried his best, he couldn't hold back the painful lick, and blood came from his lips.Seeing this, Qianna knew that his immortal body lost the protection of supernatural powers and couldn't bear the cold of Qinglian Hell, so he hurriedly took off the bracelet again.Only then did Jiedi breathe out exhaustedly, and fell to the ground as if exhausted.

It was too late, so Jianna had no choice but to put away the bracelet, turned around and held the Zhanye sword, and looked at the person who came by coldly.

It was a Raksha ghost, Qing Wuchang, and a Dao Lao ghost, Hong Wuchang, and Tanna had a bad relationship with this Raksha ghost. To be precise, before the Nirvana Tower battle, because of his Hong Wuchang's betrayal of Fengdu, most of the Qinghong Wuchang felt a bit of disdain for Qianna.This Rakshasa ghost is one of them.Now, although Qianna has made extraordinary achievements and even got Changgeng Xingjun's personal consent, another part of Qinghong Wuchang, who dislikes him, becomes more and more jealous.

As soon as the Raksha ghost saw his approval, he asked, "Where have you been?! Judge Han asked where you were several times."

Qian Na said, "Can't you see? I'm catching Bo Xun's remnants." He said, turning his head slightly to Jiedi on the ground.

The big eyes of Dao Laogui's copper bell fell on Jiedi's body, and he gently fiddled with the soul-inducing bell on his waist, "Does it take so long to catch the remnants? Why don't you report it?"

"This celestial being can be considered to have some skills, fighting with him wasted a lot of effort."

"Hmph, if that's the case, let's take this little fairy away, and you should go back quickly and report to your life." Raksha Ghost said and wanted to pull Jiedi on the ground, but was grabbed by the wrist by Qian Na.The Raksha ghost struggled a few times, but couldn't move.

A cold sharpness shot out from the clear yellow eyes of Qian, "This is my prey, show me some respect."

The Raksha ghost withdrew his hand angrily, "Jannamara, don't think that you can claim yourself as an earth immortal after being received by Changgeng Xingjun. You are still just a hell ghost, what are you proud of?" ?!"

Jian Na raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and smiled arrogantly, "I have nothing to be proud of, but this fairy is mine. If you want to make meritorious deeds, go find it elsewhere."

The Raksha ghost caressed the Zhanye sword on his back, and wanted to fight him.But he was caught by his companion Dao Laogui.That Hong Wuchang glanced suspiciously at Qian and said, "We will report what we saw today truthfully. You'd better go back and report back."

Eunna crossed his arms and snorted, "You don't have to worry about it. Please."

After the two left, Qian Na quickly turned around to check on Jie Di's situation.Jiedi's face was a little pale, but those traces of greenness had faded away, and his skin was slowly healing.Jianna breathed a sigh of relief, but saw Jiedi looking at him with some concern, "They have seen you with a heavenly being, if you return empty-handed..."

Zun Na looked at him for a while, then suddenly smiled softly, "Why do you care about me so much? I'm just a running dog in heaven in the eyes of you rebels, am I not?"

Jiedi was stunned, he heard a trace of sadness in Qianna's self-mockery.

There is a part of the memory fragment of the fragrance-seeking ghost that infiltrates in my memory. It seems that he is arguing with the green-scaled ghost in front of him. The emotions about that memory are chaotic and sad, and full of deep regret.Because the incense-seeking ghost was angry and said a word: If you are like you, you only know how to make ends meet, how is it different from a dog!

Did you think of that sentence when you said that self-deprecating sentence?

Does Qianna know how much that fragrance-seeking ghost wants to take back that sentence?Even at the last moment, do you still remember this past?

Jie Di's heart was also overflowing with deep sorrow.He shook his head, and suddenly grabbed Qian Na's hand, "No, I didn't think of you that way."

Qianna was taken aback by him, and forgot to withdraw his hand for a while.Jiedi was the first to react. He realized that his touch would make others feel pain, so he quickly withdrew his hand.He cleared his throat with some embarrassment, and wrapped the animal skin tightly around his body, "I...I'm just worried that you will be implicated because of me."

Qian Na waved his hand indifferently, "It doesn't matter, I just made a great contribution to the heaven, and they won't touch me."

"..."

But Qianna raised his eyes and asked him, "Aren't you curious about what great achievements I have made?"

Jie Di looked at him, his eyes wide open, like a deer.

Zunna has seen deer in the world, it is a kind of animal that he likes very much, it is elegant and nimble, free and unpredictable.

"I was the first to break through the blockade of the Nirvana Pagoda and kill it. Only after that did the female demon have a chance to destroy your Six Paths Guiyi Formation."

Jiedi's eyes widened slightly, and his heart seemed to be squeezed hard by an invisible hand.

It was him...

How could there be such a sinful fate...

This can also be regarded as... Are you unhappy with the karmic retribution?

Jianna chuckled, squatted down to tidy up the mess on the ground, "How about it, do you hate me so much that you want to kill me? Or do you want to beat me up?"

Jiedi was silent for a while, then finally shook his head and said, "I don't hate you."

"Why don't you hate me? I ruined your hard work for hundreds of years, didn't I?" Jian Na's voice was a little alienated and cold, "You probably gave up everything for this formation, right?"

"..."

"My former Hongwuchang was like this. If he knew that I had done such a thing, he would probably hate me to death." Zunna said, laughing twice.It's just that the laugh is too broken.The hanging white hair covered his eyes, and Jiedi felt that those eyes must be filled with endless sadness at this moment.

Jiedi clearly knew who his Hongwuchang was, but he still pretended not to know, "Is your Hongwuchang also one of us? Do you...do you know his whereabouts?"

Jian Na's movements paused for a moment, and after a while, he let out a long breath.He raised a pair of empty and dead eyes, "He's dead."

Jiedi's heart skipped a beat.

"I found his body under the Nirvana Pagoda." Jian Na said blankly, "And, he was not killed by the heavenly soldiers, but by your god Bo Xun."

Jie Di felt a cry in his head.

Unexpectedly... was actually seen by him...

What kind of pain would that be...?

Jiedi's body trembled slightly, thousands of words were stagnated in his chest and could not be said.He heard Jianna ask softly, "What is equality of all living beings? Could it be that the life of his demon god is his life, and our ghosts' lives can be sacrificed at will? Hehe, it's ridiculous."

A heavy hammer hit Jiedi's mind, and severe pain spread in his heart.What Qian Na said was not wrong, he was indeed the one who killed the incense seeker.He knew the fragrance seeker, but he had always regarded him as one of his capable subordinates, and didn't take him very seriously.He never thought that the memories and emotions of that scent-seeking ghost would have such a big influence on him, and he never thought that one day he would know so much about another green-scaled ghost that he had never met.

All along, he just wanted to end the suffering of all beings in hell.There is no reason for this endless cycle of karma, he just wants to give them a new beginning, a beginning with the opportunity to get rid of suffering and find happiness.However, he has never really experienced what it feels like to be in hell.I have never experienced what it feels like to be desperate for survival.Sacrifice is inevitable, and he has always taken it for granted, as the necessary cornerstone of success, and at most it is nothing more than giving some tears and sympathy from above.

But now, through those strong emotions and memories, he really felt another kind of despair.

A petty, powerless despair.

A kind of despair that drifts with the tide and cannot return to heaven.

A kind of despair that goes step by step into the abyss and cannot turn back.

For gods like them, this despair is just an understated number of deaths, some casual mourning and sacrifice, but for others, it is a lifetime.

He took away the sivamara of Kannamara forever, and he was powerless to pay it back.

Qian Na packed the meat into his bag, raised his head but was stunned.

Jiedi is crying.

The tears of heaven and man are crystal clear, and when they fall, they will condense into bright gems.Jiedi wept silently, his beautiful face was full of sadness.

Qian Na was surprised, "What's wrong with you? Even if I scold your God, you don't have to cry like this, okay, okay, I won't say anything."

Jiedi shook his head and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry..."

Jian Na is inexplicable, "Don't worry, I don't blame you. I know that you are just like my fool, Hong Wuchang, who was bewitched by others. Well, we have to leave here immediately."

Zunna didn't give him a chance to say more, so he knelt down and picked him up.The wound on his back that was scalded by Jiedi hadn't healed yet, and it blistered and cracked again.But it was as if he couldn't feel the pain.

Probably he is too accustomed to pain, after all, this world has never treated him kindly.

Jiedi hugged Qianna's shoulders tightly, endless guilt and heartache had swallowed his heart.He knew that the mind he had cultivated for so many kalpas was like still water, and it was gone forever.

It was probably because he was too seriously injured and too defenseless that he was affected so much in the Yuanxu formation.But now he doesn't want to resist the influence, he feels he deserves it.He should experience this kind of sadness, despair, guilt and remorse, and experience all the emotions that he has ignored.This is what he owes to Namara, and also to all the souls killed by him.

Because, unknowingly, he became the kind of god he hated the most.
