A Demon’s Path

"Why is this happening? Is there a solution?" Ling Xiao was very afraid that Huo Xiaotao would say no, and asked with a trembling voice.

Having come to this point, Ling Xiao had put in so much painstaking effort, and even risked the life of Ling Shiyu's master Lu Yang, he really didn't want to see that he was so close to failure.

Fortunately, Huo Xiaotao didn't shake his head: "Although the physical body entrusted by the mirror spirit is destroyed, and the summoning of the main body is also very strong, the curse it has received is too deep, and there is no way to completely expel it for a while. We must wait until the mirror body and the mirror It can only be used when the spirit is fully united."

Ling Xiao didn't want to wait anymore: "Aside from waiting, is there any other way?"

"Yes, that is to enter this mirror of reincarnation, defeat the spirit of the mirror, and make it completely surrender to you." Huo Xiaotao said very solemnly. Seeing Ling Xiao's eagerness to move, he didn't even need to think about it. What are you thinking: "However, I have to remind you that defeating Jingling is very difficult and dangerous. If you make a careless move, you may lose your soul and be lost forever."

Ling Xiao can't listen to any persuasive words now, as long as it is possible, he will do everything he can to try, even if the probability is not very high.

"Tell me, how can I defeat Jing Ling?" Ling Xiao looked directly at Huo Xiaotao, which meant that Huo Xiaotao didn't have to persuade him anymore, just tell him what to do.

"The soul body composed of three souls and seven souls leaves the body, and then enters the mirror of reincarnation to compete with the mirror spirit. What you compete for is not whose soul power is stronger, but whose will is stronger."

Huo Xiaotao spoke very slowly, for fear that Ling Xiao didn't hear clearly: "If you succeed, you will naturally get a lot of benefits. For example, you can make the mirror of reincarnation your clone. As long as the mirror of reincarnation is not destroyed, you will be forever Immortality. Of course, benefits and risks naturally coexist. Being defeated is not only the end of the soul flying away, but also the possibility of becoming a soul slave of the mirror spirit, without self-awareness, brother Ling Xiao must think clearly. "

Huo Xiaotao did not forget to remind Ling Xiao at this time, of course, he also knew that what he did was completely futile.

"Okay, don't say any more, let's start." Ling Xiao calmed down her mood a little, so that she could calm down.

It is a troublesome thing to compete for will, if you are not calm, there is only one dead end.

"Okay." Huo Xiaotao had no choice but to read a long incomprehensible spell to the Tianyan Jade Jue that Ling Xiao gave him.

Listening to this incantation, Ling Xiao felt that his soul was gradually leaving his physical body. That feeling was a bit like using soul skills, but not at all.

After a while, Ling Xiao felt his body was light and light. When he looked down, he suddenly saw an identical version of himself sitting quietly on the ground with his eyes closed.

Ling Xiao knew that her soul had already left her body.

"Brother Ling Xiao, enter the black and white light by yourself. Remember, everything is both real and illusion. It depends on how you understand it. However, the person who died in that illusion , including yourself, it will never be possible to be resurrected again, remember to remember..."

Huo Xiaotao's voice kept echoing in Ling Xiao's ears, until Ling Xiao was submerged in that light, and then it disappeared completely.

"Hey, this is..." Ling Xiao saw that he was in the wilderness cemetery outside Beimin City, and the surroundings were gloomy.

The moon bud in the sky exuded a cold silver light, according to which he could see his thin body clearly: his arms were like reed sticks, and his thin and torn clothes seemed a bit too big, when the wind blew, his clothes looked like It swelled up like an inflated balloon; the skin on his body was dark and dry, and one could clearly count how many bones he had on his body.

Ling Xiao unexpectedly returned to Yaotian Continent, and became the same as when she was seven years old again!

"I'm so hungry..." Although Ling Xiao knew it was an illusion, this real feeling of hunger made Ling Xiao feel so real. He finally understood that what Huo Xiaotao said was both truth and illusion.

Ling Xiao has experienced this scene before, and all this today is just for him to experience it again.

Although he doesn't know what Jing Ling compares to himself, Ling Xiao knows that as long as he guards his true heart, no matter what illusions Jing Ling has, he can break them all at once.

When he was hungry, Ling Xiao naturally went to look for food, no different from that time.

Ling Xiao clearly remembered that at that time, he saw a rich man's tomb a hundred meters in front of this place, and then snatched the only remaining piece of chicken from under the mouth of a wild dog.

Ling Xiao staggered weakly, like a drunk person, swaying from side to side, but his mind was extremely clear.

"It's here, it's here, it's almost here..." Ling Xiao's vision was a little blurred, and he could only walk in a general direction.

He didn't know how long he had walked, and finally saw the cemetery in his memory.

"Chicken nugget..." Ling Xiao swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and walked towards the half chicken nugget.

Ling Xiao staggered to the tombstone, picked up the remaining half of the chicken nugget, and was about to put it in his mouth, when he suddenly realized that a wild dog had come out to snatch the food from him?

After waiting for a short while, the expected wild dog did not appear, but an extremely delicate figure appeared: "Excuse me...can you give me this...meat...?"

Ling Xiao saw with blurred eyes that it was a little girl who was about the same height and thin as her. She was looking at her with pitiful eyes, and from time to time, she showed a hint of disbelief towards the chicken nugget in her hand, but she couldn't hide it. The color of greed.

Ling Xiao originally wanted to refuse, but when he saw the girl's appearance clearly, his heart couldn't help trembling.

Isn't that what Cheng Yu looked like when he was a child? How did she come here?

"You tell me who you are, and I can consider sharing the meat with you." Ling Xiao said in a hoarse voice.

The little girl had tears in her eyes: "My name is Cheng Yu, and my father...married a woman again, so he doesn't want me anymore...I left home...haven't eaten...for a few days..."

"It really is Cheng Yu!" Ling Xiao's face couldn't help twitching. In Ling Xiao's memory, after eating this piece of chicken, it took another three days before he could eat food again.

If he gave half of this piece of meat to Cheng Yu, maybe both of them would starve to death here.

However, if Cheng Yu is not given half of it, Cheng Yu will starve to death immediately. Such a choice is really embarrassing!

However, without thinking much, Ling Xiao gave half of the chicken nuggets to Cheng Yu: "Eat it..."

"Thank you..." Cheng Yu sat next to Ling Xiao, and the two sat side by side, gnawing on the chicken nugget that was enough to fill a meal.

At this moment, Ling Xiao felt that this chicken nugget was the most delicious food in the world, better than all the delicacies he had eaten afterwards.

"Little brother, thank you." With a little strength, Cheng Yu's voice became louder: "Little brother, if there is a chance in the future, I will definitely marry you and be your bride."

Ling Xiao rolled her eyes a few times in her heart, saying this was tantamount to not saying it. It is impractical to say these now, it is more important to find something to eat.

"Let's go, let's continue searching to see if there is anything else to eat." Ling Xiao stood up, ate some chicken, and his steps were not so light.

Cheng Yu obediently followed behind him. The two thin figures walked one after the other. Under the cold moonlight, they looked so fragile, as if the wind could blow them away...

A day passed, and even though there was no violent wind or rain, or scorching sun, the two little guys were still terribly weak. Hunger has always been the natural enemy of human beings.

On this day, the two did not find any food. When it was dark, they collapsed under a dead tree, their heads were heavy, and their eyes could barely keep their eyes open.

On the tree, a few crows watched them quietly, their eyes staring straight at them without any emotion, as if they were waiting for them to die and become their food.

"Little brother, am I... dead?" Cheng Yu's eyes were blurred, but in a daze, she seemed to see her mother waving to her: "My mother is here, she is here to find me..."

Ling Xiao knew that this was a phantom of a dying person, and hurriedly struggled to get up, shaking Cheng Yu's thin body desperately: "Hey, you must...don't fall asleep...don't fall asleep...don't sleep... ..."

"Little brother, thank you... the chicken nuggets last night..." Cheng Yu was dying, but there was a satisfied smile on his face: "You are much better than my father..."

"Yu'er, please... don't fall asleep, don't fall asleep..." Ling Xiao's voice was already hoarse, but the cry at this time made his dry throat cry out a dark bruise , so ugly.

Ling Xiao himself was about to die, and after shouting like this again, he also felt dizzy and almost fell to the ground.

But with such a breath, let his hand hold Cheng Yu's arm tightly, and never let go: "Don't sleep...don't sleep..."

"Crack!" A small piece of steamed bun fell out of nowhere, probably from a passing bird in the sky.

Although this piece of steamed bun is only about the size of Ling Xiao's palm, it is more than enough to barely sustain a person's life. However, if it is divided into two halves, Ling Xiao knows that both of them will starve to death tonight.

Before she had time to think about it, Ling Xiao crawled to the side of the steamed bun, picked up the half of the steamed bun with trembling hands, and put it in Cheng Yu's mouth.

The confused Cheng Yu now only has the most primitive hunger instinct left. As soon as his chapped lips touch the food, he immediately bites it into his mouth and swallows it in a few bites.

"It's delicious..." After eating this small piece of steamed bun, Cheng Yu fell asleep contentedly.

"That's great..." Seeing Cheng Yu's appearance like this, Ling Xiao's heart was also full of contentment.

Then, his eyes went dark, he fell to the ground with a bang, and lost consciousness...
