After Shuang Lang left, Yu Qi poured a glass of water for She Huan, and the two ghosts sat in the living room talking.

Is that girl just now Devil May Cry Rakshasa Bone Whip Shuanglang from Yan Luodian?

"Well, do you know Shuanglang?" Yu Qi was a little puzzled. It is said that Shuanglang had just changed her shell recently. Even if She Huan had met her before, it was impossible for her to recognize her now.

With lingering fear, Snake Huan touched the red mark on his neck where the bone whip had strangled him.

Devil May Cry is very famous. Although I have never seen her in person, I know the aura on that bone whip, which is the same as the aura carried by many evil spirits sent to the Hall of Reincarnation.

"That's it." It made sense, that bone whip was indeed very characteristic.

Then do you know Hushang Rakshasa?

Yu Qi's face froze, didn't he say he didn't eavesdrop?

She Huan also came to her senses, blushing slightly before continuing.

Sorry, I did overhear a little bit, but no malice!I just want to know, can you tell me what happened to Mr. Hu Shang?

This behavior of She Huan made Yu Qi feel a little uncomfortable: "This is their private matter, and I don't know much about it."

I did not mean.

She Huan was keenly aware of Yu Qi's displeasure, and quickly explained.

I know Lord Hushang...but that was a long, long time ago.

At that time, She Huan was still a snake cub without transformation, and Hu Shang was still alive. It must have been more than 1000 years, which is really a long time ago.

Hearing that there seemed to be an inside story, Yu Qi's face softened a lot, but after all, it was someone else's private matter, so she didn't want to talk too much: "I really don't know what happened, since you know Hushang Luosha, why don't you tell me in person? Go ask him?"

Hearing this, She Huan felt slightly disappointed and shook her head.

Although I was fortunate enough to accompany Mr. Hu Shang for a period of time, to him, I was just a passer-by who didn't care about it in his memory.

"What about you? Is he just a passer-by?" Yu Qi asked tentatively.

This is not a big secret, and Yu Qi is the only friend who can hear his voice, so he doesn't hide it.

Originally, I wanted to talk to you about the recent meeting of the Ten Temples. Since you are interested, how about I tell you about the intersection between me and Lord Tianhu today?

Yu Qi was completely relieved, and if he could say it, it meant it was no big deal: "Okay, tell me, I'll listen."

Well, where should I start? Do you still remember what I told you before that I am a cold snake clan?

"Well, last time you mentioned that your Han Snake Clan has been hunted and killed for nearly a thousand years because snake scales are very precious refining materials. Now it is a very rare clan in the Snake Clan."

Yes, but in fact our clan is gradually declining, not just because of being hunted down, our Hansnake clan also has a tradition, every time a cold snake king with pure blood is born, [-] people with messy bloodlines will be selected from the clan The Little Han Snake is the future sacrifice of the Han Snake King.

"Sacrifice?... Is it the sacrifice I understand?" Yu Qi felt a little unbelievable.

Snake nodded.

The sacrifice grows up with the Cold Snake King, and then when the Cold Snake King advances, the sacrifice must dedicate all his cultivation to the Cold Snake King to help the Cold Snake King resist the advanced nine thunders.

Combined with what She Huan told her about the past, Yu Qi couldn't help connecting: "Are you also a sacrifice?"

Well, I am.

"Why do you want to do this? No matter how weak you are, it's your own business. Isn't it unfair that all the achievements you have made through hard work belong to others?"

Snake Huan is not dissatisfied.

Our Cold Snake Clan will experience a cold wave every 100 years. Only the Cold Snake King is strong enough to protect the whole clan from being frozen by the cold wave. Isn’t it worthwhile to sacrifice [-] clansmen for the safety of the whole clan?

Yu Qi couldn't evaluate whether it was worth it or not. It was indeed worth it from the perspective of the overall situation, but from a personal perspective, she asked herself that she could not be as non-complaining as She Huan.

But even though she lives in an environment that advocates fair competition, she also understands that it is a comfortable environment that provides the qualifications for fair competition, while in the demon world, natural selection is practiced. How to keep the family root is the most important thing, right?She hasn't experienced these things, and she can't comment on whether it's worth it.

"You still tell me about you and Hushang Rakshasa."

Snake Huan doesn't have to ask Yuqi to answer, after all, each race has its own way of survival. For example, when a spider race reproduces, males may be eaten by females. He can't understand this kind of thing.

Master Hushang was the last bloodline of the Tianhu clan in the demon world, and I didn't know his name at that time, so I could only call him Master Tianhu.

Unexpectedly, the breed of Hushang Raksha, who looked unserious, turned out to be very advanced: "Sky fox? Is it a nine-tailed fox?"

Snake Huan nodded and continued.

It is said that as long as their family cultivates nine tails, they can be promoted to Chaos God, but at that time, Master Tianhu was still very weak. What's the value, according to the rules of our Cold Snake Clan, I have to leave the territory of the Cold Snake Clan, but when the cold wave strikes, I can still go back and fight the cold wave with everyone under the protection of the Cold Snake King.

After being confirmed, Yu Qi was quite excited, Nine-Tailed Fox!I've heard of it but haven't seen it, next time I have a chance to see Hushang Luosha, I must take a good look!

When I met him, he was about to leave the Magic Word Forest, and I happened to fall from a tree into his tail, just like that, I followed Master Tianhu and left the Magic Word Forest. In addition to being timid, he didn't dare to run around in a strange place after waking up, so he kept hiding in his tail and followed him around.

Fen Tuanzi just woke up and came over in a daze, Yu Qi took Fen Tuanzi into his arms: "Didn't he find you?"

Of course he found out, but he didn't punish me, instead he took me to continue traveling very gently.

With a touch of tenderness at the corner of She Huan's mouth, he recounted the happiest days in his past and present lives.

I have seen him fight for the injustice of the Bird Clan, and he was bullied by the Leopard Clan together with him. Another time, we strayed into the territory of the Peacock Emperor, and Master Tianhu couldn't beat them, and then we were thrown into the sea. He said that he would take me back to revenge after the third tail grows, but...we never went back, drifted all the way from Mermaid Sea to Flower Essence Valley, and met a fish who sang very well on the way tribal girl.

"Tell me in detail, how did you fight against injustice?" Yu Qi was aroused, and didn't want him to sum it up in a few simple words.

Snake Huan chuckled silently.

These things are too many, I will tell you slowly later, I have been with Master Tianhu for about 20 years, and then I seem to have a premonition that my life is approaching, there is a custom in our demon world, every demon dies It's time to go back to the place where you were born.

"We humans can do it too. We call this the return of fallen leaves to their roots."

Fallen leaves return to their roots...it fits very well, She Huan continued.

Then I parted from Master Tianhu, and returned to the Magic Word Forest when my life was almost exhausted after going through all kinds of hardships. I thought that I could accompany Master Tianhu to travel and see the vast demon world. This life is enough for me. , but I didn't expect that after I died, I would wander between the heaven and the earth for hundreds of years before being extradited to the underworld.

"The resentment that took hundreds of years to dissipate? You can hold on without becoming a resentful spirit?" Yu Qi was also very impressed.

She Huan's smile faltered, and her eyes dimmed.

In fact... I am a resentful spirit, but I don’t know why the spiritual consciousness has condensed by itself, and the three souls and seven souls have returned. According to the rules, the underworld had to extradite me.

"But I don't think there is any difference between you and ordinary ghosts?" Yu Qi thought for a while and added with a smile, "There is really no difference except that you are very beautiful."

She Huan blushed from her straightforward praise. Most of the other ghosts would only say that he was dumb, or discuss that he was a wraith, and few praised him for his good looks.

Regarding She Huan's simple description of her life, Yu Qi can only think of one possibility: "Could it be that you became a wraith because there is something between you and Hushang Raksha that you can't let go of?"

Snake Huan shook her head firmly.

I am just grateful to Lord Tianhu for taking me on a tour of the demon world, and to Lord Tianhu, I am just a forgotten passerby. After all, I have only been with him for decades. As far as it is concerned, it is just a short moment, well, it is about ten days for you humans.

He gave vivid examples, but some things may not necessarily be measured by time: "It was an acquaintance after all. Did you go to Hushang Raksha later? Maybe he still remembers you."

She Huan smiled bleakly, he wished he had never been there, but in fact, after learning that Hu Shang was also in the underworld, he immediately went to Meixiang Pavilion, but it ushered in the darkest day since he existed as a ghost.

The Master Tianhu in his memory has completely changed his appearance. Instead of being gentle as before, he humiliated him severely, but he doesn't want to mention these things anymore, even if he is facing Yuqi, he doesn't want to speak. Simply put.

I've been, and he really doesn't remember me anymore.

Feeling his obviously depressed mood, Yu Qi quickly comforted him: "Could it be that you made a mistake? Think about it, you didn't know the name of Hushang Raksha before you were alive, did you? Although there is only one Tianhu in the demon world , but maybe there is another Tianhu who died early in the underworld?"

She Huan raised her sleeves, revealing a white mark on her wrist that was so shallow that it was almost invisible.

This is the imprint that Master Tianhu made on me before he died. He said that he was afraid that I would lose it. I have seen Lord Hushang's curse mark, which is exactly the same as this one.

In the Meixiang Pavilion, there was indeed an identical curse mark on Hu Shang's forehead, but it was black, and as the curse mark on his forehead glowed red, several healed wounds on his body were torn apart again. , Black ghost blood flowed out from the wound, dripped on the ground, and merged with the dried up blood on the ground.
