“…”

In the gray space, Xiaobai half opened his mouth, but he didn't say a word for a long time. "Then" the eunuch fell out like the famous novel "The Story of Taiping".

However, Wang Jiu kept waiting patiently, neither urging nor asking for advice.

Until Xiaobai couldn't hold back his expression and burst into laughter.

"Aren't you afraid that I'm trying to tease you on purpose?"

Wang Jiu still didn't respond because this kind of nonsense was a waste of time.

Xiaobai then curled his smile and curled his lips: "It's really serious. OK, don't talk anymore, but before starting the topic, I have a question to confirm."

Wang Jiu nodded and signaled her but it was okay to ask.

"Some time ago, you seemed to have encountered some difficult problems. Have you found the answer now?"

This question made Wang Jiu feel very strange because he always felt that the other party was referring to something else... But considering his understanding of human nature, he is often not as good as Chen Qingming with an intelligence index of 33. So when encountering problems, don’t think too much, and try to respond literally.

The difficulties I encountered were of course the discernment between humans and demons, and to tell the answer, of course I hadn't found it yet. But I no longer insisted on finding an absolute answer, but I was able to do it.

Stop, maybe this is also an answer.

"Hey, did you choose not to get into a stubborn slight?" The little white man's face burst out with a bright smile, stretched out his hand to stroke his chest, and made a peace of mind. "That would be better. The next question, have you ever been looking for something for a long time but couldn't find it. When he finally gave up, he found it was close to his hand?"

Wang Jiu said: "No."

"Never before?" Xiaobai was a little surprised and regretful, "I originally wanted to use this as an example, but you really didn't cooperate. So I'll deform the problem a little. Have you ever wanted to find something, but after searching for a long time, I couldn't find it. In the end, I found that it was not that it did not exist, but that it had become what you completely unexpected?"

Wang Jiu thought about it and said, "I haven't seen it. If it's something I'm serious about looking for, I can recognize it no matter how much it changes. If it can't be found, it only means it's hidden well enough."

"Hahaha, I am really confident in myself. No matter how much I change, I can recognize it... But if you think about it carefully, your life has only been a few decades, and it is normal that you have not experienced many strange things. If your life can be longer, you should have experienced the problem I just mentioned."

Xiaobai's words made Wang Jiu frown.

Because the tone is really weird.

First, this condescending and old-fashioned tone does not match her actual age and appearance. Xiaobai is indeed not a teenage girl, but she is not a centenarian.

Second, how did she know that her life has only been a few decades? And she seems to have a considerable understanding of her decades of life? In the Xiangzhou Continent, the identity of the Tianwai Divine Sword is not an absolute secret, especially when he is about to become the next leader of the Holy Sect, the identity of the sword spirit has been vaguely revealed to many people, but that's all. Only a very few people will know about the period of the nameless sword god in the previous life, and with their temperament, it is unlikely to be promoted everywhere, so...

Just as Wang Jiu was in deep thought, Xiaobai said again: "So you chose to give up your obsession?"

Wang Jiu was stunned again.

Xiaobai sighed and said, "It is indeed easier to let go of some things. People cannot always be obsessed with things that are too illusory. For example, when I was very young, I gave up my ambition to dominate the world, and now I can happily cause trouble for others as the elder of the Sword Academy. Now I see that you have finally embarked on the same path as me, I am really a little relieved, as an old friend..."

Xiaobai's nagging started just now, and was interrupted by Wang Jiu's cold voice.

The pure white sword pointed straight forward.

"Who are you?"

At this point, the conversation was so strange that it was completely unstoppable. No matter how you think about Xiaobai's tone means that she is definitely not the innocent and lazy female sword cultivator in Wuxiangjian Academy.

Xiaobai smiled and said, "What do you think?"

He paused and asked again: "Do you dare to guess?"

Wang Jiu pursed his lips, and his white sword body buzzed and trembled.

Indeed, when it comes to this point, a very bold and ridiculous guess has emerged uncontrollably.

So much so that Wang Jiu knew that what he wanted to do next was irrational, but he still couldn't control his impulse.

Kill her here, pierce her heart and kill her, cut her brain and kill her, smash her soul and kill her, corrode her flesh and blood and kill her, curse her fate and kill her...

In a flash, dark clouds rolled in the sword world. The world that had just flourished seemed to be facing the crisis of world destruction. All buildings and all creatures began to tremble.

Then, the moment before the outbreak, Xiaobai spoke quietly.

"What a pity, my wound started to hurt when I saw you like this... although it was just a phantom pain."

Xiaobai said, reaching out and touching his chest.

"I still remember the feeling of being penetrated by your sword back then, even after ten thousand years. Do you still remember the scene of dismembering and shattering me one by one? I'm afraid I can't remember it. If I get my demonic energy into my body, most of your memories will be lost, right? I can't remember it anymore, right?"

"You..." Wang Jiu really wanted to stop the conversation and immediately detonate all his power, but on the other hand, he really couldn't take action because there was an answer he wanted to know no matter what.

Xiaobai sighed leisurely and said, "It's good to remember it. He's unbeaten in his life, but he was cut off in pieces in the end. Only I remember this kind of thing myself. At the last moment, all I can do is to let the opponent forget this embarrassing scene, that's all..."

Before Xiaobai finished speaking, Wang Jiu interrupted softly, "So, aren't you dead?"

At the same time, the snow-white long sword blasted out straight and shot towards Xiaobai's forehead like thunder.

However, the invincible sword was blocked three inches in front of Xiaobai.

"I heard people finish my words. I have made the foreplay so gentle, but you still cut it off when you meet? It's rare to see each other again after ten thousand years. Are you so anxious to get away forever?"

Xiaobai closed his hands in front of him with difficulty, and his arms trembled constantly. It was obvious that blocking the Divine Sword of Heaven at this time was also very difficult for her.

On the other hand, Wang Jiu felt much more than the difficulty.

The opponent closed his hands together, and his full blown attack could not move forward at all. Moreover, no matter how he changed the cycle of power in the sword world, the opponent's two delicate palms could burst out corresponding power, making his attempt come back in vain.

"Don't... I'm wasting my time. I didn't run and kill myself. How could you kill with a sword? Do you know that for this moment, I'm such a lazy person, I have been practicing hard for decades. Using my body that I'm not used to and the laws that I don't get used to, practicing the human sword that I hate the most is to be able to continue the conversation with you... So don't try it, at least at this moment, it's impossible for you to kill me like you did ten thousand years ago!"

Finally, Wang Jiu also regained his strength.

Accurately judging the battle situation is one of the essential qualities of the Amitabha Sword. You must be clear about when you can fight and when you cannot fight, otherwise a rash attack will be tantamount to suicide.

Before he took action, he evaluated Xiaobai's strength. To be honest, his hard power is better than the Divine Sword in the Sky. After all, he has only been awakened for more than a year. Even if the reconstruction of the sword world has received support from multiple parties, it is not a process of success overnight. In this brand new world, it is of course impossible to evolve from a white-board sword to the top combat power in one year.

When he was fighting in the Wuxiang Jian Academy before, he could defeat his opponent by suppressing his swordsmanship, but at that time, Xiaobai obviously did not show his true strength.

When the two sides have similar understandings of power, the victory or defeat of brute force becomes the key, and when competing for brute force, the Tianwai Divine Sword is far from an opponent.

Of course, these issues are not the real focus.

The point is that Wang Jiu's fighting spirit is indeed not that strong. After just experiencing a round of great confusion, his murderous intent towards the demon clan, especially the demon king in front of him who doesn't look like the demon clan. He really can't raise the boiling murderous intent of the Jiuzhou era.

So, should you consider changing people?

Xiaobai was a little nervous and said, "Hey, it's rare to have such a good conversation opportunity. You won't be confused and find a third party to intervene, right? And I have the confidence to talk about identity at this time, and I have the confidence to be able to defeat your alliance with Zhao Yueming, so listen to me first..."

However, Wang Jiu didn't wait for her to finish her sentence.

Because he himself had problems that he really couldn't figure it out.

"How did you become like this?"

The next moment, Xiaobai's face became extremely ugly.

"You are really embarrassed to ask. If you are not shameless, you are falsely reporting your intelligence index. You still have to ask such a simple question, of course it is thanks to you!"

"impossible."

"Why is it impossible?" Xiaobai said with a funny look, "Reality is right in front of you. No one will joke about such things."

"You can't be alive."

Xiaobai said: "You are really confident in your destructive power, but you are right. Your last few swords are indeed far beyond the scope of "death". In theory, I cannot be 'alive'. But how do you define 'live'? Can you move, think, be alive even if you are alive even if you inherit the memories of your previous life? Do you have a way to accurately define it?"

Wang Jiu remained silent.

The concept of living is indeed difficult to accurately define, because this term itself was invented by humans' lower life. For high-level lives, the way of existence is very different from ordinary life, and it is difficult to use the concept of lower life to recognize the existence of higher life.

"In fact, that great Demon God Emperor is indeed dead. Now standing in front of you is a brand new life, and it has nothing to do with the demon race. If I don't stand up myself, you may never be able to detect my true identity."

Wang Jiu was silent again, Xiaobai was right.

After being in contact with her for so long, except for her extraordinary talent for swordsmanship, I had no idea of ​​her abnormality... The life-and-death opponent tens of years ago, who was regarded as one of the meanings of existence, stood in front of me... But I just couldn't recognize her. There is probably nothing more ironic in the world than this.

But, why?

"Because you don't have enough understanding of life." Xiaobai said, "You are born in humans. Although you are extremely talented, you are limited by human knowledge. So you cannot understand what real life is, let alone what real death is. For humans, destruction is much easier than creation. To make a person die, just destroy a few key points that constitute his survival, such as stabbing a sword in the chest and a simple action can make a life die. But in a wider world, life can be more

Tenacious, destruction is no simpler than creation... For example, have you heard of zombies? Even if all internal organs are destroyed, they can still maintain their actions. This kind of life is much more tenacious than ordinary humans. Further, there are ghosts, and their bodies are completely destroyed, they can still survive in another form. Then, further, even if the body and soul are all gone, they can be placed in the belief of human beings. This kind of life body is usually called a god by you, and then, if you go further..."

Wang Jiu interrupted: "I know very well that your existence level is much higher than other living organisms, so I have made enough preparations before the final battle..."

"Yes, your preparation is very well-behaved, even exceeding my expectations," said Xiaobai. "But back to the initial topic, you still don't understand life and death enough, so you made a very serious mistake."

Wang Jiu was silent for a long time.

Memories from thousands of years ago kept flashing. Except for the memories lost about the final battle after being eroded by the demonic energy, the other pictures are still vivid. After searching all the pictures, Wang Jiu did not think he had made any mistakes.

"You've tried too hard." Xiaobai said, "For a simple example, have you ever played a role-playing card game? Suppose a character's health is 100, then he will die if he causes more than 100 damage... But many times, in order to ensure that he can be absolutely dead, the offensive party will try to cause more than 100 damage, such as 200,300. In that case, the character's health will become negative, and of course he will die, right? But this set of logic is not universal to me. If you want to kill me, you must cause accurate 100 damage and make my health just zero. Otherwise, even if it is a negative, I will exist in another form."

"..." Wang Jiu was a little unbelievable, but soon fell into deep thought.

What Xiaobai said is actually very reasonable, and the few examples she gave before are also very inspiring to think.

There are cases in many stories: after someone is killed, his resentment cannot be digested into a demon and continues to harm the world. From another perspective, such a story is actually exactly what Xiaobai said, which does not cause accurate death and injury, causing the other party to continue to exist in another way.

"Or another example, in some game scripts or novels, there is often a design: the great demon king who harms the world divides his soul into multiple parts and hides it in different places. All places must be destroyed to completely destroy the demon king. Otherwise, even if his body is crushed, he will still be resurrected from the dead. By the same token, it is not enough to kill me, just cause excessive damage."

Wang Jiu said: "I didn't just cause excessive damage at that time."

"Yes, you have caused excessive damage in all possibilities." Xiaobai smiled, "From the body to the soul, from the soul to the faith, from the faith to the law, you will destroy and interpret it to the extreme at all levels you know. However, back to the initial problem, you have used too much force and you don't need to use that force to kill me."

"If you use too much force, you won't die?"

"That depends on how you define death. Let me give you a simple example. Suppose I said that I was reincarnated and reborn by the Demon Emperor, and have been refined by the laws of the Xiangzhou Continent and have become an absolute human being. But I just happened to have the memory of the Demon Emperor. Do you want to kill me again?"
To be continued...
