The room was very dark, with only the faint light of a candle. However, the room was still very dark. It was obvious that the faint light of the candle was not enough. The ground was covered with wine jars with their lids open. Those wine jars were lying on the ground in a staggered manner.
There was a shabby desk and chair, and a man in plain clothes was sitting on it. The man's face was thin, and he had thick dark circles under his eyes, a beard on his chin, a messy bun, and dirty clothes. From this, it could be seen that this man had not washed up for many days. However, even so, Lin Lin still recognized him at a glance. This person was Long Hao, no…it should be Long Hao's previous life!
Long Hao's firm eyes were filled with a misty gaze. He was very focused and serious as he drew on the paper on the table. Every stroke was so focused and careful.
After the painting was done, the man stared at the woman in the painting excitedly, his eyes shining with a kind of worship. After looking at it again and again, he carefully kissed the woman in the painting. He kissed her cheeks, eyebrows, nose, and eyes one by one, except for her lips. Lin Lin watched as he gave up every time he wanted to kiss a woman's lips and kissed somewhere else.
Lin Lin suddenly felt that this person was a little perverted.
After Long Hao had seen enough and kissed enough, he hung the painting on the wall and staggered to the side of the wine jar. He picked up an open jar with wine inside and returned to the painting hanging on the wall. He raised his head and drank the wine. The wine flowed out from the corner of his mouth and flowed down his neck to his chest, wetting the front of his clothes.
Under the soft lighting, Lin Lin could see that the walls were covered with paintings, and the people in the paintings were the woman in red. They were in all kinds of poses and looked beautiful.
Lin Lin looked at Long Hao's previous life and didn't know what to think for a moment. A trace of heartache slowly lingered in her heart. It made Lin Lin, who didn't like to talk, look even more depressed.
The old man looked at the entrance of the cave and paused."Long Hao was imprisoned by the emperor in the Huangling Dragon Vein because he had the intention to rebel.”The old man's indifferent words seemed to have pity in them.
The old man beckoned for Lin Lin to sit down at the stone table and poured a cup of tea for her.
Lin Lin took the tea and took a sip. It was very bitter... It was even more bitter than bitter gourd. Lin Lin just frowned and swallowed the tea while enduring the bitterness.
The old man drank a cup himself and did not notice any unpleasant expression on his face. He said in a deep tone," Long Hao spent every day drinking in that dark and sunless room. He also missed Eldest Princess Yu Shang more and more. The more he thought about it, the more unwilling he became. In the end, he attracted the inner demon and signed a contract with it. He gave his body to the inner demon to control just to see Eldest Princess Yu Shang again.”
After saying that, the old man looked at Lin Lin with a meaningful gaze.
Lin Lin avoided his gaze and looked elsewhere.
After all, Lin Lin, a human who lived in a technologically advanced new era, had to believe that she was the legendary First Princess Yu Shang. The woman in the painting was too far-fetched.
Speechless, she picked up the teacup and held it in her hand. The tea had already turned cold, and it was so cold that there was no warmth in her hand. Lin Lin had no intention of drinking anymore. She put down the cup and looked at the old man quietly, waiting for him to continue.
Seeing Lin Lin's calm appearance, the old man nodded in admiration and comforted her,"This is the illusion of the void, and time is still. Long Hao is still frozen in the moment you entered, so you don't have to worry about not having enough time.”
Hearing the old man's words, Lin Lin's heart finally calmed down a little. God knows what she was most worried about was how Long Hao was doing? Would it be too late? Now, as if she had been relieved of a heavy burden, Lin Lin exhaled and waited for the old man's instructions.
The old man didn't say anything. He stood up and walked out of the cave alone.
Lin Lin immediately followed. When she arrived outside the cave, she was shocked. She didn't expect that there was a cliff outside the cave, and she was standing on an extremely steep peak. Lin Lin didn't dare to think about how high it was because she saw a large patch of pure white sea of clouds under her feet. Looking up, he could see the endless blue sky that was about to turn dark. There were many small stars shining in the sky, and there was even a crescent moon in the sky. It was so beautiful…If Lin Lin hadn't been there personally, she would have found it hard to imagine that there was such a beautiful place in this world.
The old man looked at the boundless night sky and said slowly,""Long Haoyin has signed a contract with the inner demon, so he has to be used by the inner demon. Every midnight, he has to come out of the human world to absorb the resentment and soul essence of humans to achieve immortality.”
If he wanted to obtain immortality, he would have to bring disaster to the human world! Lin Lin couldn't help but wonder if these stories that only appeared in novels and on television really existed.
"Long Hao drank human soul essences every night, causing the people to live in poverty. Many people often died inexplicably, finally attracting Heavenly Court's attention. The Heavenly Emperor sent a god to investigate and found that the traces of the inner demons were the remnants of the ancient tribes.”the old man drawled.
" During the great war of the Demon God ten thousand years ago, it was the Celestial Thearch's ancestor who sacrificed his primordial spirit to exterminate the Demon Lord. Unexpectedly, the Demon Lord still had a wisp of resentful aura left in the mortal world. It drifted around and absorbed the resentment of humans, growing stronger day by day. It took shape to find a host to avenge the extermination of the clan. It was the strong longing in Long Hao's heart that brought resentment and attracted the demon of the heart.”
Demons? It was caused by another powerful battle between some races! Lin Lin looked at the old man standing on the edge of the cliff. His white and yellowish clothes fluttered in the wind. It was as if he would disappear with the wind at any moment. Lin Lin was worried that he would disappear in the next moment.
The old man turned around and looked at Lin Lin.
Lin Lin immediately looked elsewhere. She didn't know why. Lin Lin felt that the old man's eyes seemed to be able to see through her inner thoughts. Lin Lin did not like the feeling of being seen through.
"After Long Hao formed a contract with the inner demon, he fused with it and became a true Demon Lord. It awakened countless resentment and demonic thoughts, causing many creatures to fall into the demonic path and be used by the Demon Lord. Long Hao's body was under the Demon Lord's control. Only his heart was not wiped out.”
"The Demon Lord reorganized the demon army and led it to besiege the celestial heavens, vowing to vent his hatred for the humiliation he suffered ten thousand years ago. That battle was in full swing. The entire sky was red, and many immortals died because of it. Heavenly Court's general was heavily injured and had no one to lead him. Thus, the Eldest Princess Yu Shang stood out alone to fight the Demon Lord.”
The old man conjured a mirror again and said to Lin Lin,""There are some things that you should see for yourself! You might not be able to feel it when I say it.”
Lin Lin gently placed her hand on the edge of the mirror and touched the uneven patterns. As he moved in, his fingertips touched the clear mirror. The mirror surface spread out like water ripples.
The image gradually became clearer. It was the Eldest Princess Yu Shang, who was dressed in red, standing upright in the air and facing Long Hao, who had turned into a demon. The two of them did not move for a long time.
