Chapter 340 339. A Reunion Over Tens of Thousands of Years(1/2)
Chapter 340 339. Reunion spanning tens of thousands of years
The desolate land is full of devastation wherever you look.
The surface is covered with spider web-like ravines, which seem to go straight to the ground. The forest turns into dark charcoal, and the rushing river is evaporated, exposing the dry river bed. There are almost no traces of any living creatures, only some extremely powerful monsters.
The bones of the beast stand in the wilderness like tombstones.
Thousands of miles of wilderness, all scorched earth!
A shadow in red clothes appeared silently. Her face was beautiful, but her expression was extremely confused, and there was struggle and pain in her eyes.
She has forgotten Hong Yingxue's name. Her blood and tears dyed her robe red, so she was called Hongyi.
Even if the memory is erased, the pain that tears apart the soul still remains in Hong Yi's heart, with nowhere to vent and no way to resolve it.
This red-clothed ghost wandered confusedly over the wilderness, only remembering a strange name - Anle.
Time goes by, and the time flies by.
New life is reborn in the dead land, and tenacious new shoots pierce the soil, bringing a touch of green to the earth. Monsters, whether powerful or weak, begin to become active and multiply.
But every night, the darkness of Great Summer will still come as expected.
At first, the monsters were not the targets of the darkness's hunting, but as time went by, the darkness was not willing to let go of even their flesh and blood.
So the monster beasts began to migrate to the outskirts of the wilderness, heading towards the vast and unknown world.
But the attachment to the ancestral land is engraved deep in the monster's bloodline.
In the future, there will be an old demon who returns to this land, finds a secluded place, and then dies quietly. His corpse will turn into the nutrients of the wilderness again, and the fallen leaves will return to their roots.
The woman in red was wandering in the changing wilderness. She saw some people building palaces on the outskirts of the wilderness, setting up tall stone gates, leaving inheritance, and placing central stones to resist the darkness of the night.
For some reason, seeing this scene, the pain in her heart eased a little.
The woman in red fluttered aimlessly across mountains and rivers, through the wilderness, and over the mountains. In the world outside the wilderness, the fire of civilization finally sprouted, and the kingdom of mortals and the cultivators of immortals began to be born.
On this day, the woman in red came to a village. The villagers were surprised by her beauty, and some people welcomed her warmly.
The woman in red is ignorant about everything, but she feels a little happy.
But when the sun rose the next day, there were only dead bodies left in the whole village.
It turns out that the evil thoughts of the villagers were aroused by the woman in red, and they wanted to keep her forever. In order to compete for her ownership, people killed each other, and no one survived.
The demonic nature of the woman in red originated from divinity, and the collapse of faith and extreme pain once again amplified this demonic nature.
Only the purest soul can give birth to the purest demonic nature.
But this magical nature is like an inescapable curse for the woman in red.
She looked at the corpses on the ground, shed tears of blood again, and wanted to hide in the mountains and forests, where she would never see anyone again.
But after hearing the news, a monk came and chased and killed the woman in red.
The woman in red didn't fight back, she just ran away, but this move attracted more and more monks. They either coveted her beauty, or they were eager to get this power, causing a rain of blood.
Fishy wind.
The woman in red still did nothing, so the monks became suspicious of each other, and most of them were killed or injured in the murder.
Gradually, the people who woke up became afraid of the woman in red and called her——
Heavenly witch!
The woman in red wrote down this title. Day by day, as she saw and experienced more and more, a new consciousness was born in her ignorant soul.
She said in her heart: "From today on, I am the witch."
In the days that followed, the Heavenly Witch tried her best to hide her whereabouts, only daring to look at the towns where people lived from a distance.
I don't know since when, she slowly mastered her own ability. She can see the demonic nature in other people's hearts and feed on these demonic natures.
"If I absorb people's demonic nature, wouldn't it be possible to prevent wars and strife from happening?"
As a result, the Heavenly Witch began to search for those cities with strong magical properties in an attempt to prevent the tragedy from happening.
At first, her actions did have some effect, and the city that had been drained of the demonic nature became much more peaceful, but she soon discovered that the demonic nature in people's hearts can never completely disappear.
Wherever there are people, demonic nature will grow.
Often, just after the witch has digested part of her demonic nature, more demonic nature will emerge in a steady stream.
Sometimes the witch has just left the city, and when we look back some time later, the city has already been ignited with flames of war.
And whenever a war breaks out, the demonic nature that breaks out is so intense that even the Heavenly Witch cannot digest it.
Moreover, the demonic nature of all living beings is chaotic and filthy, with all kinds of distracting thoughts. It is very difficult for the Heavenly Witch to absorb it, making her already unstable soul even more fragile and even prone to collapse.
Seeing the cities that she once protected were destroyed one after another, and the residents in the cities were displaced. As time went by, the Sky Witch finally gave up.
She realized that absorbing demonic nature would not save sentient beings.
She slowly became numb and indifferent, watching the vicissitudes of life, the birth and death of generations, the rise and fall of various forces, the rise and fall of dynasties, the joys and sorrows of the world, and the intrigues of monks.
.
In cities where war broke out, where all the sects were slaughtered, and near the ruins that were razed to the ground, people often saw a woman in red wandering around, so they regarded her as unknown.
As a result, the Heavenly Witch became a crow seeking death, feared and hated by people.
During these long and immeasurable years, the woman in red always remembered the name "Anle", but she could never find any trace of him.
On this day, the demonic nature absorbed by the Heavenly Witch exceeded what she could bear.
She knew that once the demonic nature in her body was out of control, it would cause great disasters and countless people would die because of her.
So, the Heavenly Witch found a bitter cold place and was about to commit suicide when a woman in white came out of the night with a shy smile on her face.
"Hong Yingxue, long time no see."
The witch looked at the woman blankly, but did not recognize her and just murmured.
"Hong Yingxue, is this my name?"
"But... who is Anle?"
Hearing this name, the woman couldn't come back to her senses for a long time. Tears flowed from the corners of her eyes and she sighed.
"Anshi, I'm not the only one who remembers you."
After a while, the woman calmed down. She called herself Zhongxu, the master of Taixu Palace. After examining the condition of the Heavenly Witch, she said: "You are about to become a demon. I have a method that can solve the demonic nature in your body and prevent them from harming you."
One side, but it can be very painful for you."
The witch implored: "Please do it quickly."
Zhongxu couldn't bear it, but he still took action boldly and blasted the Heavenly Witch's soul away.
The demonic nature of the Heavenly Witch has long been rooted in the depths of the soul. If you want to reduce the demonic nature, you can only start with every tiny fragment of the soul.
The whole process was very difficult, and even with Zhongxu's cultivation level, he could not control all the split souls.
As a result, several remaining souls escaped and continued to wander under the sky.
These remnant souls are extremely weak and have unclear memories. They are neither Hong Yingxue nor the Heavenly Witch. Some of them gradually dissipated between heaven and earth, some were destroyed by monks, and some were contaminated by demonic nature and turned into pure evil spirits.
In this way, she wandered for many more years.
Until one day, the god's eyes once again fell on this land that had regained its vitality, and on an ordinary village woman.
A few months later, Orion, whose name was Anping, fell outside the delivery room with a sad expression. His wife trembled and died after giving birth to a baby boy, as if she had seen an extremely terrifying existence.
In order to avoid the rumors in the village, Anping left his original village and came to a place called Chenjiacun.
He named his child Anle, which means peace and joy.
At the same time, a remnant soul with only obsession came to Chenjia Village. Her divinity and demonic nature infected the monsters outside the village. They worshiped the altar of Chengtian Pagoda in their memory, so the cave was created.
Altar of Bones in .
More than ten years have passed. The woman in red followed Anle and left Chenjiacun. They walked through Chiyu Village together, experienced an extreme cold disaster, and called out the name "Anle" for the first time. Then she joined Taixu Palace and passed through Xuyuan.
, came to the immortal tomb in the wilderness, and saw Anle stepping into the light door...
Many memories surged like a river, rushing endlessly. Hong Yingxue suddenly woke up, opened her eyes, and couldn't help but call out: "Anle!"
"I am here."
In front of her, An Le smiled extremely gently and said softly: "Miss Hong, long time no see."
Hong Yingxue looked at him quietly, not coming back to her senses for a long time.
Suddenly, Hong Yingxue's eyes turned red and she smiled: "I knew you wouldn't lie to me."
"We really do meet in the future."
She couldn't help but throw herself into Anle's arms and burst into tears: "But I didn't expect that the future would be so far away. Do you know how hard it was for me to find you?"
Hong Yingxue looked like a little girl who had been wronged for a long time. She held Anle's skirt tightly in her hands, as if he would disappear if she let go.
Anle patted her back gently: "Don't we already meet?"
After a long time, Hong Yingxue's mood stabilized, and Su Dai on the side finally couldn't help but ask: "Anlang, what exactly have you experienced this night?"
