The stone steps.
Xiao Lin walked slowly on the stone steps.
As for why he was here, he didn't seem to know. It was as if he had just woken up from a dream and appeared in an unknown region.
In fact, not only had he never been to this place before, he had never even thought about it.
The stone steps were very flat and long, and there were four lanes on both sides that could accommodate two cars.
He didn't see the carriage, but he saw another person.
"I thought I would be able to see you again, Sword Master Di. I just didn't expect it to be so soon!”
"Of course it's good to be this fast, but it's even better if we can let nature take its course!”
"There's almost nothing here other than the stone steps. If there's someone here, where do you think he would be?”
"Then why don't we walk around and see!"
"But this path doesn't seem to have an end!”
"I don't think so now, but there will be soon!”
"You seem to come here often!"
"If I had come here often, I might not have lived until today!”
"Why?"
"Because there are abnormally powerful demons here!”
At the end of the stone steps, there was a 18-foot-wide purple copper door. On the door, there was a huge beast with copper rings, looking solemn and ferocious.
Eight burly men stood on both sides of him. They were bare-chested and had bulging muscles. They held large sabers and wore red scarves on their heads. They stood motionless like stone men.
It seemed that even if a fly landed on their nose, they would not reach out to chase it away. Even if there was a poisonous snake wrapped around them, they would not move. Even if there was a naked girl passing by, their eyes would not even look sideways.
How could such a grand and tightly guarded mansion suddenly appear in the previously empty wilderness?
Could it be that the one living inside was the Demon Emperor?
Little Lin didn't know, and he didn't dare to think about it anymore. The more he thought about it, the more afraid he would be. The more afraid he was, the easier it was for him to do stupid things. Once he did something stupid, the result would be either harming himself, harming others, or even both.
However, Di Sheng knew that there was no one within a hundred miles of this place. Not only were there no poisonous snakes, but there were also no naked beauties. Not even flies could fly in.
There were no humans here, only demons!
Xiao Lin saw people. There were eight people who looked like guards. They were all burly men, standing in front of the door like executioners!
"Then what you saw must be an illusion!”
Little Lin rubbed his eyes in confusion, but there were still eight burly men standing in front of him. They were neither wax men nor puppets. Each of them had flesh and blood, and they were very real. One of them even looked very much like a butcher he knew before!
The so-called illusion did not mean that those things could not be seen clearly and existed like shadows. It meant that anyone and anything you saw was exactly the same as reality. It was just that they did not really exist in the position you saw at the moment.
The more fearful one was, the easier it was for one to see the things that terrified them. On the contrary, when one was full of sharpness and fearlessness, there would be a real path of purity in front of them!
Di Sheng's explanation of the illusion could not be more detailed. At the same time, he handed him an almanac.
November 19, auspicious, all things should be appropriate.
On November 19, it was sunny. The wind was blowing and the air was refreshing.
Xiao Lin had never bought an almanac and rarely looked at it, so he naturally did not notice that a good day would suddenly come during a winter day with continuous cold rain.
"I heard that you all believe in this!”
"There are indeed many people in the secular world who believe it, but I don't really believe it! And now, I trust you more than I trust this almanac!”
It was not possible for a person to go from a state of shock to a state of calm in a short period of time, not to mention that Xiao Lin only had the state of mind of an ordinary person.
Therefore, he closed his eyes and focused. He stepped on the stone steps and continued to move forward.
But the fear did not disappear, because when he opened his eyes again, he found something even more terrifying.
The door was still the same door, but the people were not the same.
None of the burly men holding large knives were there. Instead, four black-faced monsters were waving their knives and guns while howling.
It appeared in almost the same position, but the threat seemed to be greater.
In fact, the scary thing was not the white waist blade or the shiny spear, but the monster itself.
Although the monsters looked like seven or eight-year-old children, they were all emaciated, with bulging eyes and flashing green lights. It was hard to imagine that anyone would associate them with the word 'children'. Instead, they were like ghosts that had been trapped for a long time and wanted to kill people as soon as they came out.
"Is it only a matter of time before we see monsters in the illusions of the demon world?”Even though Xiao Lin kept telling himself not to be afraid and that it was just an illusion, he could not help but break out in cold sweat and tremble.
"That's right. As long as you continue to stay in the illusion, it will definitely happen sooner or later!”Di Sheng then whispered to him," Only this time, what you saw was not an illusion!”
"We're both in the same place. It was just a fantasy just now, why isn't it the same now?”
"I can't explain it to you at the moment, but don't be afraid. These are just some small monsters that can scare people. They basically don't have any attack power!”
"Compared to you, they should be nothing! But I'm different. I'm just an ordinary person, an ordinary person who only knows how to forge!”
"Don't you still have me?"
"But I don't have the courage to face them anymore."
"Don't say anymore, and it's best if you don't move!”
Little Lin immediately stopped asking and stopped moving.
Because he had just said that he trusted Di Sheng more than he trusted the almanac.
At the end of the stone steps, the faces of the imperial guards outside the purple copper door suddenly began to twitch, and their eyeballs began to roll.
The illusion he had seen before unconsciously entered his mind again. It was as if he was one of the burly men at this moment. Although his body did not move at all, his mind was constantly moving.
He was thinking about the situation inside the door. Although it looked strange and terrifying outside, perhaps it was a paradise where even the trees grew gold?
However, what he did not expect was that on the stone steps he had just passed, there was suddenly a rush of footsteps.
Ten meters, five meters!
Xiao Lin had yet to come to his senses when a small green curtain sedan stopped within his reach. The two men in green who were carrying the sedan stared at him fiercely, but did not do anything.
He was a burly man, and he was standing there like a wooden log. Could this be another illusion?
"Don't move, don't make a sound!" Di Sheng suddenly gestured with his hand.
It turned out that the two men in green were not only able to move, but they were also very fast. They were almost like two green steeds as they carried the palanquin and galloped away. It was as if they did not intend to report anything and were prepared to charge straight into the copper door.
If this was not an empty sedan, then who was the person inside?
Little Lin did not think too much about this for the time being, because even if he thought about it, it would be in vain. There was nothing he could do even if he thought about it.
From the beginning until now, he had been confused and muddled. He did not know how the event would progress, how the characters would appear, whether the event was real or fake, whether the characters were human or strange.
And he was even more envious. He had clearly been discovered, and the other party had only exaggeratedly revealed a cannibal appearance, but in fact, he had not even touched a hair on his head.
Don't move, don't make a sound. Could these words be his current amulet?
He believed it, so he remained silent and motionless.
Di Sheng was standing beside him, always there.
This man, who did not look as tall or strong as him, was actually many times stronger than him.
There were at least a hundred and eight stone steps, and the two men in green instantly went up.
But did they break in? No!
Because at this moment, the black-faced monsters that lined up on both sides had surrounded the small sedan. Their spears were about to stab out, and their sabers were about to be unsheathed.
The two men in green suddenly stopped like a speeding sports car. Dust billowed on the ground, leaving two deep footprints.
They stood still, but the palanquin fell.
There was indeed someone in the palanquin, and it was a man. A young man who was still alive but temporarily unable to speak with his mouth gagged!
In just a moment, the two men in green pulled him back into the palanquin.
However, his eyes were still fixed on Xiao Lin's mind. It was a look of fear, despair, and helplessness. It was as if he was certain that he would die the moment he entered the door in front of him.
From the heavily locked purple copper door, one could vaguely hear a few strange and seductive laughter.
Little Lin was suddenly shocked." This voice seems familiar. I seem to have heard it not long ago!"”
The surging devilish energy immediately enveloped the purple copper door and the white stone steps. The red smoke that came out from the gap in the door also spread out.
Di Sheng secretly sighed, I didn't expect him to succeed in the end!”
The door still did not open.
At this moment, a pair of hands suddenly reached out from the inside. They were like holes and invisible!
This pair of hands was calm and beautiful, but they were also vicious and greedy!
In a word, this was a pair of evil woman's hands!
"So it really is her!" When Xiao Lin carefully observed this pair of hands that were gradually growing longer and larger, he could not help but involuntarily say.
"Quickly dodge!" Di Sheng shouts and immediately moves to block the incoming force.
The ones who came to attack Xiao Lin were not those strange hands, but the green-robed man and the black-faced monster, who had not even touched a single hair on his body.
Little Lin had just let out a cry of surprise when he was immediately stunned.
This was the first time he had seen Di Sheng make a move. Compared to the speed of the Heavenly Fate Peach Blossom's sword, it was indeed not inferior.
When the sharp weapon was about to cut his throat, he instinctively blinked. When he opened his eyes again, he found that all the black-faced monsters had fallen to the ground.
One, two, three, four!
The bodies of the four monsters collapsed in an instant, turning into dust and disappearing without a trace!
"Why did you only injure one of their legs?”
"In this way, the two of them will not be able to attack you for the time being, because you can press them down with a finger!”
"But they seem to be unwilling and are prepared to continue helping the wicked!”
"You mean to tell them to go to hell?”
"Those who associate with demons, what is there to regret in death?”
"However, they are not demons, but humans!”
"Have you never killed anyone before?"
"Almost everyone in the Sword World has a weapon in their hands. With a weapon, it is possible to kill!”
"Then where is your weapon?"
"I also kill people, but only those who deserve to be killed.”Di Sheng glanced at the blue-robed burly man who was supporting each other." As for the two of them, although they are controlled by demonic arts, they have not yet entered the demonic path. It is not time to kill them!”
"This…"
Although he hadn't seen her with his own eyes, Xiao Lin was 100% sure from her voice and her hands that the body of the cruel demon emperor inside the door was undoubtedly Tian Huanhuan, whom he had been eager to see.
"If it is possible to eliminate the Demon Emperor in the future, I hope you can do your best to protect his body!”Before Xiao Lin could finish his words, he saw Di Sheng fly away. He raised his hand and struck the door.
Because before this, the purple copper door that was about 18 feet wide and 18 feet tall had already silently opened.
It wasn't just a door.
The purple beast copper ring was heavily guarded, layer after layer, opening one after another.
Xiao Lin's eyes widened even more because the pair of familiar hands of a huge woman had grabbed a person who was struggling desperately and quickly retreated into the door.
The palanquin was still there, but the person had disappeared. The person who had been taken away by the giant hand was undoubtedly the person in the palanquin.
This was how things were in the world. Many things that shouldn't have happened happened at the wrong time. Many people who didn't deserve to die died at the wrong time. There was nothing they could do. The world was unpredictable. No matter who it was, they had to accept and face it.
The door closed, the giant hand disappeared, Di Sheng stopped the rescue, Xiao Lin's heart also sank.
After the danger, he panted and said,"If you hadn't saved me just now, would you have done your best to snatch him back?”
"It's just killing a few monsters. It won't affect the outcome!”Di Sheng put his hands behind his back and sighed." In the end, I can't defeat her with just my strength alone!”
"Then in the future, do you plan to gather the other experts of the Sword World and work together to eliminate him?”
"Yes, and very quickly!" Di Sheng looks at Xiao Lin more seriously." To be honest, after you guessed who the real body of the Demon Emperor was, did you really not want me to do this?”
"Since she's a vicious demon, of course everyone wants her dead. But I think that if possible, we should try to protect her real body. After all, her real body is innocent!”
"Of course, this possibility exists, but she might not take the initiative to separate her body and soul. Once the situation is critical and we can't find any other way, we can only destroy her body and soul. If that day really comes, I hope you don't appear at the scene!”
Xiao Lin fell silent, his expression gradually becoming complicated.
