A devil's self-redemption

"Why did you say this?" Zhi asked anxiously.

Luo Lai was a little puzzled and asked: "What are you talking about?"

"It's better to kill by mistake than let go. This is what the nerds also said. How could you say it?" The branch's voice became louder.

Luo Lai's expression was dumbfounded. He didn't expect that this was what he asked. Then he realized what he was saying. Zhi said that even the nerds had said it. These were words that only people on earth could understand. Luo Lai was excited. He was now 80% sure that this nerd was a time traveler like him, and he was also Chinese.

"I said we two might come from the same place, do you believe it?" Luo Lai told the truth directly without beating around the bush.

The branch fell into silence again, as if thinking about whether his words were credible.

After a long silence, the branch said: "I believe it."

"Then show me that line of writing. I will definitely recognize it." Luo Lai said directly.

"Wait a minute." After saying that, the branch seemed to shake, and then the vase containing the branch began to glow. After a moment, an object the size of a fingernail flew out from the mouth of the bottle. After breaking away from the mouth of the bottle, it quickly grew in size, and finally It turned into a tree bark that was one foot square and looked like a book, and slowly floated in front of Luo Lai.

Luo Lai reached out to take it, but was blocked by a layer of shimmer on the surface of the thing. He looked at the branch with confusion and asked with his eyes, 'What's going on? ’

The branch seemed to understand his eyes, and then steered the bark to face Luolai, so that he could clearly see the words on it.

After just one glance, Luo Lai was stunned and subconsciously read the words above, 'I don't want to be born in the same year, the same month and the same day, but I want to die in the same year, the same month and the same day.' Come! ’

Just as Luo Lai finished reciting, a powerful light lit up from the bark of the tree, and then the bark exploded, mixing with the light and covering Luo Lai and the vase!

When the tree branches saw that Luo Lai actually knew this line of characters, they swayed excitedly. However, they were shrouded in light before they were happy, and then the branches swayed even more violently, and at the same time they let out a miserable scream: "Ahhhhhhh ! What’s going on, what is this? Don’t come over! Ahhh!”

The light lasted for half a quarter of an hour, and the branches howled for half an hour, but Luo Lai understood something from that text!

When the light gradually dissipated, Luo Lai also recovered. There was only this sentence recorded on the bark of the tree, but he did get a lot of information. First of all, the nerd was indeed a time traveler, and the words were written in Chinese; Secondly, this line of words is a contract, a contract of life and death. As the name suggests, the two parties to the contract will live and die together from now on. If one party dies, the other party will not be spared.

This is also the reason why the branches screamed. He is the original tree that is produced by heaven and earth. Under normal circumstances, life is endless. Even if there is only a remaining branch like now, the life is long and long. A creature of unknown origin signed a contract to live together, and he wants to die now!

"Ah ah ah, why do you have to read it out? Why? Did you do it on purpose, ah?" When Luo Lai showed up, the tree branch immediately screamed and asked.

Luo Lai himself was confused. What was going on? Why did he sign a contract with each other? This branch didn't even have a root system. Who knew it would be dead that day? How could he, a five or six-year-old kid, be with a person who met him all the time? The life-threatening Broken Branch has signed a contract, what’s going on?

"Stop, stop, stop, stop shouting. You have lived for so long, you must know how to terminate the contract. Come on, tell me, we will terminate the contract soon!" Luo Lai was worried.

"Remove this shit, do you know what it is? It is a spell created by the nerd. It uses the bark of my body as a carrier and is a solid contract in the world. Unless you resurrect the nerd now and find my previous body, Otherwise, it is absolutely impossible for this contract to be terminated, ah ah ah, why am I so unlucky! I don’t want to die yet, please help me!” Zhi finished speaking in one breath and started crying again.

Luo Lai didn't know what to say for a moment. The nerd in the branch's mouth was so powerful. Ordinary Chinese characters actually turned him into a curse. How strong must he be?

Also, Twig said that unless the nerd is resurrected, is he already dead?

In the end, I didn't even complain about forming a contract with a dying branch, but it actually complained first.

From the words of Zhi Zhi's complaint, I heard three pieces of information. He was indeed an old monster and knew a lot.

Not caring about the sadness of the branches, Luo Lai was most worried about life span, so he asked: "Uncle Tree, how long do you have to live?"

Unexpectedly, Zhizhi heard his question and cried even more heartbreakingly. While crying, he cursed: "You don't know what you are, you killed me. I am an ancestral tree that can live forever." , actually signed a contract with a creature like you who has no origin, even if you can live for three to five thousand years, how can you compare to immortality, you bastard."

Luo Lai understood and didn't panic anymore. Although this branch was broken, its lifespan should be very long and would not harm him. So he kindly comforted him: "Uncle Tree, please relax. Didn't the nerd say that since I can If you understand that line, it means that I am the person you are waiting for. I can help you restore your true form. You are the ancestral tree that was born with the world. Don’t you miss the grace of your peak?"

Zhi Zhi stopped crying and muttered: "It seems to make sense."

"Yes, since I can help you recover your body, I will definitely grow to a very strong level, and maybe you can live forever, don't you think so!" Luo Lai continued to work hard.

"It seems to make sense." Zhi repeated what he just said.

......

Just as Luo Lai was comforting the tree branches, somewhere far away on a fairy mountain in the human continent, a thirteen or fourteen year old girl was playing in the mountains. She had two braids, which rose and fell as she jumped. She was quite cute. , she was wearing a light green dress, her skirts fluttering when she moved, and her beautiful big eyes were as clear as black crystals.

"Junior sister, stop playing around. Our ancestor is looking for you. He wants you to go to the back mountain to find her immediately." A young man in his twenties came with a sword and landed lightly in front of the girl.

The girl raised her head, looked at the person in front of her with some displeasure, and said, "Senior Brother Wu, you are the one who disturbs my good mood every time."

Senior Brother Wu's expression was quite dull, and he didn't care about the little girl's dissatisfaction. He continued: "Hurry up, my ancestor has something urgent to do with you, otherwise I will punish you in solitary confinement."

The little girl's originally pretty face turned bitter when she heard that she was going to be imprisoned, and she murmured: "You know how to threaten me with confinement, huh, you don't look like an ancestor at all."

The dull Senior Brother Wu looked at his nose and heart, as if he didn't hear the little girl's complaints at all.

In the end, the little girl compromised and asked Senior Brother Wu to come to her every time. She obviously understood the character of the two of them. One was dull and serious, the other was quirky, but the girl had nothing to do with this dull Senior Brother. If not If you follow him, he will follow you all the time, and you won't be able to have fun.

In the main hall in the forbidden area of ​​​​the back mountain, several figures wrapped in light balls were talking. The person in the yellow light ball said: "Senior sister, did the decree left by the founder really appear?" The tone was a little doubtful. His name is Song He, he is the great elder of the outer sect of Lichen Sect and is in charge of everything in the outer sect.

And the senior sister he mentioned was Yu Jingxin, the leader of the Lichen Sect.

Yu Jingxin, who was sitting in the colorful light group, said in a sweet and soft voice: "Well, I have confirmed that the decree has indeed appeared. It is still shining. When Feifei comes, we can witness it together."

"I didn't expect that I would still be able to see the ancestor's decree manifest in my lifetime. What a great blessing!" Wan Wuji, who was in the green light group, also said.

"Yes, the ancestral text on the decree has been lost so far. We have studied it for so long and still can't get in. It's really difficult to understand!" Kuai Lei, who was in the white light group, also agreed.

"Master, bring Zi Yafei here!" Senior Brother Wu's voice sounded outside the hall.

"Let her come in!" The person sitting in the hall said gently.

At this time, the palace door opened wide, and a little girl named Zi Yafei walked into the palace door while muttering. Everyone present was a strong man with unparalleled cultivation. How could he not hear her muttering, "What did you bring? It seems I'm like a prisoner, I really don't want to see these weird aperture circles, they look like gaudy silkworm chrysalis."

After hearing what Zi Yafei said, everyone present, except the master who was sitting in the highest position, the apertures of everyone else shook more or less, as if they were deliberately suppressing their anger.

"Feifei, don't talk nonsense. I asked you to come here today for something important. Don't be so presumptuous again." Yu Jingxin scolded, but Zi Yafei did not show any fear, but stuck out her tongue playfully.

"Ziyafei, you are now a saint within the sect. You must maintain the majesty of a saint at all times. Look at you. You are either running around in the mountains all day long, or you are playing tricks on your senior brothers and sisters. You have forgotten your cultivation. How can you have a trace? You look like a saint, I think you don't want to be a goddess anymore!" Wan Wuji directly said to remove Zi Yafei's saint.

With a smile on her face, Zi Yafei replied crisply: "Okay, it's not interesting to be a saint. Whoever is willing to be a saint can take it."

Wan Wuji's face stiffened, he stroked his beard and said, "Ahem! That Feifei, my uncle is just joking with you. Haha, no one in our Lichen Sect is qualified to be a saint like you, hahaha!"

No one echoed his laughter, and in the end he could only stop laughing and say nothing.

Seeing that everyone was quiet, Yu Jingxin said helplessly: "You guys, none of you are serious, just go outside and wait. Feifei comes in with me." After saying that, she went to the back hall first, and Zi Yafei followed reluctantly. , walked all the way to the spiritual tablet enshrining the ancestor.

Here are enshrined the rankings of all the ancestors of the Lichen Sect. Those on the left are those who have ascended to the immortal world, and those on the right are deceased but have made significant contributions to the sect.

At this time, Zi Yafei saw a section of tree bark placed on the middle altar table, floating in the air, emitting a faint red light. She didn't know what it was, so she cast her doubtful eyes on Yu Jingxin.

"This is the decree left by the founder of the Lichen Sect. Before her ascension, the old man said that every sect leader should carefully keep this thing. If a spirit appears one day, he will give this thing to the saint, and let the saint use it as a gift. As for what she can get from the blood-stained thing, she didn't say anything, and gave an order. When the saint activates this thing, the sect leader must be guarding it to avoid accidents." After saying that, he glanced at Zi Yafei and continued. Said: "Now that this thing has appeared, you can dye it with blood. This process may take a long time, so hold on."

When Zi Yafei heard that he was going to bleed, it would still be a long time, and his beautiful eyebrows suddenly knitted together. However, seeing the seriousness of his master's words, he still walked up and squeezed out blood from his fingertips, dripping on the glowing tree. On the bark, the amazing thing is that the blood spreads automatically along the lines on the bark, but the speed is really slow.

Zi Yafei's little face turned pale, and her lips trembled as she asked: "Master, I won't bleed to death, right? My master is your own disciple. He can't live without me, a lovely and sensible disciple." Let’s stop here today, I’ll go back to recuperate for a few days and wait until my body recovers before continuing, okay?”

Yu Jingxin was a little dumbfounded and said angrily: "You have been baptized by the holy spring. At the current speed, you will be fine for a year and a half. Don't mess around here, concentrate and don't be distracted. .”

Zi Yafei curled her lips and stopped talking, concentrating on injecting blood into the bark.

Outside the hall, the light on several people had dissipated. Wan Wuji was a thin old man with gray hair, but his eyes were big and bright, and his two light mustaches gave people a funny feeling.

Kuai Lei is a young man of medium height. His face is very ordinary, but there is a glint in his eyes from time to time. He is wearing a white robe and has an extraordinary bearing.

Song He was quite bloated, and his fat robes dragged the floor, making him look slovenly. However, he carried a long blue sword on his back, and the sound of the sword could be heard from time to time even if it was not unsheathed.

Wan Wuji stroked his light beard and said, "Junior Brother Song, how are you doing with the Ancestral Texts that you have studied for so many years? Can you decipher the words on the Ancestral Edict?"

Song He shook his head and smiled bitterly: "The Ancestral Text is really too profound. According to the news from several ancestors who ascended to the Immortal World, no one in the Immortal World can decipher the Ancestral Text. They can only recognize a few words and thirty or fifty words. It’s everyone, and after years of research, I have a rough guess about the last word in the decree.”

When Wan Wuji heard this, his expression was slightly shaken, and he hurriedly asked: "What's the word?"

Although Kuai Lei didn't speak, the concerned look in his eyes showed that he also wanted to know.

"Lin!" Song He said directly without giving in, "It should be Lin, but the specific meaning is not clear. We need to continue researching!"

Wan Wuji and Kuai Lei were very excited. Song He's research finally yielded results. This was the Ancestral Text. It was said that people who mastered the Ancestral Text could do terrifying things like what they said.

It is certainly terrifying to speak Dharma Sui, but since records began, no one else has been able to master it except the one who created the Ancestral Wen.
