Chapter 857: One Against One
Within the inner scene of the two yin and yang.
Youying looked at Chi Jin with disdain, "Little Moon God chose you?"
Suddenly being dragged to an unfamiliar place, Chi Jin felt a sharp pain in the head as if being pricked by needles.
Facing Youying's question, he was stunned for a moment, and then asked in return: "...Does the Moon Goddess refer to Senior Sister?"
Youying: "Nonsense, what else!"
Chi Jin paused.
He didn't know if it was his illusion, but the little girl in front of him seemed to have some objection to him, and it was quite a big one.
Zhuzhao walked slowly out of the fiery red hot spring, stopped in front of Chi Jin, and said lightly: "Since you are here, it saves us the time of looking for you."
"Youying, let's begin."
Although Youying looked extremely reluctant, she still stood beside Zhuzhao. The two spirits shone brightly, as if they were about to do something earth-shattering.
The red and blue halos intertwined and blended with each other, and this strange and colorful light was approaching Chi Jin step by step.
Chi Jin suddenly felt something was wrong and hurriedly asked, "Wait, wait, wait! What are you going to do?"
Zhuzhao was stunned. He put away his posture and asked suspiciously, "Didn't Ruan Wei tell you?"
Chi Jin: "What did you say? Senior Sister just asked me to come in to find you."
Youying: "Didn't you just come in to see us? Didn't you say anything else?"
The connection between Liangyi and Ruan Wei had been broken long ago. From the moment Ruan Wei and Tiandao started trading, they could no longer obtain news from the outside world.
Liang Yi can only wait in the inner scene, waiting for the end.
Zhuzhao frowned, Youying glanced at it and frowned like it. The two identical faces had the same expression, which looked a bit funny.
Chi Jin couldn't help but ask: "Senior Sister, have you made plans in advance? Can you tell me? I will definitely do whatever you need me to do!"
“…”
As soon as these words came out.
Zhu Zhao immediately noticed something was wrong. "...You just said that Ruan Wei asked you to come in to find us. When did she tell you that?"
"Just now."
“?!”
Youying was shocked: "Isn't she not here..."
Ruan Wei is gone.
As spiritual beings who have formed a contract with Ruan Wei, Liangyi can roughly sense Ruan Wei's situation. But now, they can no longer sense Ruan Wei's existence in this world, which means that Ruan Wei has been taken away by the Heavenly Dao.
How could Ruan Wei, who was taken away by Tiandao, tell Chi Jin how to enter the inner scene of Liangyi?
So... it's her?
Zhuzhao figured it out. Looking at Chi Jin's extremely anxious expression, he already had a guess in his mind.
"Chi Jin, you only have half a soul. Do you know this?"
Chi Jin was shocked and looked at Zhu Zhao in disbelief, "Me?"
"Yeah, that's you."
Zhuzhao told the truth.
Youying frowned and looked at it, not quite agreeing.
Didn't Little Moon God tell you not to tell this kid? Why did you just tell him directly?
Zhuzhao ignored Youying. He knew that "Ruan Wei" outside had made a new choice, so the words he had promised Ruan Wei should be changed in time.
Zhu Zhao looked at Chi Jin and told her everything Ruan Wei and the two of them had agreed on, word by word:
"It seems that your memory has been erased by the Heavenly Dao, Chi Jin. You should know that rebirth with memory comes at a price. You must have reached some kind of deal with the Heavenly Dao. It fulfilled your wish and took away half of your soul."
"Ruan Wei guessed this. She has thought it all out for you. She left us to you. Youying and I promised her two final attempts at help. Restoring a soul is much more difficult than restoring a body. Our greatest authority is to help you get back the remaining half of your soul. Once the opportunity is exhausted, we will no longer stay here and will not help you here anymore. Ruan Wei knew all this, but she still chose to let us help you restore your soul's integrity."
A deal? Him and Tian Dao?
Chi Jin was a little confused. He had no memory of what Zhu Zhao said.
But vaguely.
Chi Jin remembers certain moments, the voice that echoed deep in her heart.
He was whispering.
Don't tell anyone.
Don't think back, don't delve into it, don't... don't step back.
So Chi Jin kept his mouth shut and subconsciously avoided thinking about many wrong moments.
Now he finally understood.
What was the reason for the vagueness of his memories of his past life and his subconscious avoidance of things at many times? It turned out that he had paid something else.
But it doesn’t matter. Chi Jin is very good at giving, and no matter how much he gives, it is all voluntary.
As long as it can bring Ruan Wei's safety.
Chi Jin never regrets it.
“…”
There was no time to think about these insignificant little things. What Chi Jin needed most now was the answer to what he should do to ensure the safe return of his senior sister.
Chi Jin said without hesitation: "Then I don't need to restore my soul. Can you wake me up?"
“…”
Youying and Zhuzhao looked at each other.
Both were silent.
They hesitated whether to tell Ruan Wei that he had chosen to trade his soul with the Heavenly Dao.
after all.
Ruan Wei could have chosen to use these two opportunities to rebuild the body he had from the first collapse.
Without mortgaging your soul.
If she made this choice, Ruan Wei would be powerless to stop Chi Jin from dying in Fu He's place.
Because I don't want to lose my loved one, okay, then I'll bear it myself.
Anyway, it all started with her.
For the sake of his lover and his vision for the world, Ruan Wei willingly chose to sell his soul.
The two yin and yang were silent.
Chi Jin had a bad feeling in her heart, "...Is it not possible?"
"She can't come back." Youying answered a little depressed.
Chi Jin: “Why?!”
Chi Jin was very anxious:
"I really don't need you to restore my soul. I can live with half a soul, right? Besides, my senior sister is outside. She told me to come in and change her back."
"That's not Ruan Wei." Zhu Zhao sighed, "That's not right. She is also Ruan Wei, but... she is different from the Ruan Wei you know in this life."
"...Then who is she?"
Zhu Zhao: "She is a soul condensed from a collection of resentments and residual memories. It can be said that she is the Ruan Wei who failed in every life."
Chi Jin is completely offline.
Youying interrupted, "Ruan Wei usually calls her the priestess. Hey, that's the high priestess that the demon tribe sacrificed to the sky back then."
Chi Jin repeated, "Priest..."
Is this the priest who asked the demon tribe to give him the water mirror in his previous life? So... so this is also my senior sister?!
In an emergency, Chi Jin was unable to think about complicated things, so he quickly summarized the matter.
That is to say.
The senior sister outside is not his current senior sister. The one he has always wanted to save is his current senior sister. So there is no need to think too much. The important thing is to rescue the senior sister in this life first!
Chi Jin: "Then, it was the priest sister who came to ask me to exchange my sister for her, right?"
Zhu Zhao nodded and continued, "I guessed it. Ruan Wei would never let you come in exchange for her to go back on her own."
Because Ruan Wei never thought about staying.
She left in a very free and easy manner, but it made the people left behind feel particularly miserable.
Zhuzhao's lips moved.
It clearly had no human heart, but it suddenly felt that its next words were a bit too cruel, but it had to say them.
"Ruan Wei can't come back. She made a deal with the Heavenly Dao, and the deal was for her own soul."
Boom.
Chi Jin's face turned pale, his thoughts seemed to be completely disrupted by thunder, his brain was blank, and he even felt tinnitus in his ears.
But I still forced myself to ask:
"...Senior Sister, did she trade all her souls?"
If it's half, then there must be hope!
"Yes, all of them."
As soon as the words fell, Chi Jin felt like he was hit by a heavy blow.
Youying bit her lower lip, a hint of doubt in her eyes: "Although this doesn't seem like the usual way of the Heavenly Dao, but when you think about it carefully, it's not surprising."
"Ruan Wei's soul is so beautiful. If she came here legitimately, no spirit would be able to resist eating her."
Youying herself was so dazzled by the brilliant silver light on Ruan Wei that she couldn't move, so she fell down and chose her Moon God without hesitation.
Saints like them can tell the quality of a person's soul at a glance.
Ruan Wei is the same as them.
If there is enough time, she will naturally become an immortal or a saint.
If you can devour such a beautiful soul, no spirit will not be tempted.
Is this also the way of heaven...?
Youying was a little unsure, because this was not consistent with the way of Heaven in its memory, but it had been away from Tianwai Tian for too long, and maybe the way of Heaven had changed.
Zhu Zhao: "This is a deal Ruan Wei made voluntarily. Before leaving here, she asked us to find you after this battle and retrieve the other half of your soul."
Chi Jin lowered his eyes, and the gloomy aura around him could not be concealed no matter what he did.
He doesn't understand.
Chi Jin's fingertips sank into his palms. The wounds in his consciousness space affected his consciousness itself. He was trembling, and his soul and consciousness were extremely unstable.
If given another chance to choose, Chi Jin would never hide his death from Ruan Wei again.
How could he know?
It was just a death for her as usual, how could it lead to such a terrible ending.
"alright."
Zhu Zhao: "This matter is a foregone conclusion, and there is no way to reverse it."
Youying frowned and glanced at Zhuzhao. Just as he was about to say something, he saw Zhuzhao glance at him sideways, and the words on the tip of his tongue were swallowed back.
Youying muttered softly: "If you don't want to tell me, then don't tell me."
“…”
Zhuzhao was a little impressed by Youying. After tens of thousands of years, how come they still had no tacit understanding?
Don’t induce!
Inducing transactions will lead to divine punishment and prosecution! !
Didn’t you see that Heaven has been coveting Ruan Wei’s soul for such a long time but didn’t dare to directly ask for a trade? It’s all the residual power of Heaven’s punishment!
“…”
Chi Jin lowered her eyes and looked at Zhu Zhao. A cold voice sounded: "Transaction...how to stop it?"
To be honest.
Chi Jin no longer had much hope.
If the Liangyi path is blocked... how can one summon the Heavenly Dao? Will the world of cultivation completely collapse? How can it collapse? Would it be enough to kill all the demons? If that doesn't work, killing some of the beastly spirits would be enough, right?
While Chi Jin was thinking about how to destroy the world, Zhu Zhao's eyes lit up.
That’s right.
Smart people are sensible!
Zhu Zhao coughed lightly, "Since you were able to make a deal with the Heavenly Dao, it means that your soul has also entered the eyes of the Heavenly Dao."
As far as Zhu Zhao knew, the Heavenly Dao had never made deals with the creatures in these small worlds before. Unexpectedly, in this world of cultivation, it actually broke the rules, and broke two of them at once!
Zhu Zhao didn't understand, Zhu Zhao was shocked, and Zhu Zhao took advantage of the situation.
"Heaven upholds fairness, so a one-for-one fight... is also possible. Although you only have half your soul left, Youying and I can still help you succeed."
"It all depends on whether you are willing..."
Before he finished speaking.
"I do."
Chi Jin said without hesitation.
Zhuzhao paused, and Youying also looked over in surprise.
They watched with their own eyes as Chi Jin's beautiful glass eyes lit up little by little as if ignited by a stream of fire. Finally, a look of relief appeared on his lips, as if he had received the best news in the world. He sincerely hoped that this was true news.
Because hope appeared, Chi Jin seemed to wake up completely. He did not dare to delay any longer and immediately repeated:
"I'm willing to pay any price."
Youying frowned, and for some reason, she tried her best to make the situation sound more terrifying:
"Do you know the price of losing your soul? It means you no longer exist in this world. There never was, and there never will be! You're just a meal, only enough to feed the spirit. Do you understand what this means? You won't have any memories, emotions, or even consciousness. You'll have nothing. After your soul is devoured, not even a speck of dust will remain—"
"I see."
Chi Jin's eyes were firm, and he smiled bitterly, "...Senior Sister also understands."
But Ruan Wei did it.
She is such an extremely selfish person from head to toe, but she actually chose such a terrible ending for herself.
Whenever Chi Jin thought of this, her heart ached.
His senior sister.
Chi Jin was about to faint from the pain.
Youying's words came to an abrupt end.
It looked at Chi Jin in front of it in disbelief. In its eyes, Chi Jin's figure and that of the girl gradually overlapped. Youying suddenly felt very emotional. It turned out that they were raised by the same person, but even the choices they made were so similar.
Exactly the same choice, is this what you mortals often call love?
Youying didn't understand.
"I understand, and I'm willing to do it."
The boy leaned forward, his straight back lower than the child's head.
It was a very deep bow.
Chi Jin was brought up to be very arrogant by Ruan Wei. He had never shown such great courtesy to any creature other than the people of Penglai Immortal Sect.
But at this time.
Chi Jin is just a pleader.
For Chi Jin.
Even if he was asked to kowtow, even if he had to kowtow ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine times, Chi Jin would kneel down immediately without hesitation. While kowtowing, he would beg them to move faster and not let his senior sister get hurt in the slightest.
His voice trembled:
"She is the moon in the sky, the pearl of this world. She shouldn't have ended like this."
"Let her go home, even if it costs me everything."
A drop of water fell onto the ground mixed with red and azure.
"Please... help me."
Save her too.
moment.
Liang Yi said, "Okay."
