second to none

Chapter 22

Tan Yin subconsciously chased after a few steps, and suddenly, she seemed to be gently pulled by a hand behind her. She looked back in shock, and there was no one behind her, but Yuan Zhong looked at herself inexplicably.

illusion?

She turned around, her eyes became brighter, she put her hand into the Qiankun bag, and tightly held a talisman - she wasn't sure if this talisman could solve the monster in front of her, but she couldn't just watch it escape in front of her .

This monster was so gluttonous that it was too bulky to take off, so it could only crawl towards the depths of the apricot blossom forest.Tan Yin followed closely behind, who knew that something gently pulled the corner of her skirt again, as if to stop her from chasing, she was horrified in her heart, and looked down, but there was still no one.

"Ha ha……"

An illusory voice sounded from behind her head, and immediately after, her long hair hanging behind her was gently blown, and her breath was cold.

A thick layer of cold sweat broke out on Tan Yin's back. At this moment, what happened here was so weird that even she had never heard of it.Is it the ghost of that unformed monster?She stared at the past, the monster couldn't even take off, and was crawling awkwardly on the ground, it couldn't possibly have this kind of ability.

Tan Yin took the talisman out of the Qiankun bag and looked around vigilantly.

Suddenly, the monster that was eager to dodge stopped rolling, its whole body seemed to be grabbed by an invisible hand, and it couldn't struggle no matter what, it trembled violently, its translucent mist-like body twisted fiercely Then, it let out a sharp growl, and immediately after, its huge body was suddenly pulled up, and it was ruthlessly dragged away towards the due west.

This sudden change made Tan Yin dumbfounded, and a cold breath was blown from the back of her head, which was creepy.

"The little goddess who has not survived the human calamity."

Just now that illusory voice suddenly rang in her ears, and the talisman in Tan Yin's hand slapped it mercilessly, but it was in vain, and then she suddenly felt as if her whole body was tied up by dense ropes, and she couldn't even move at all. No, suddenly froze in shock.

"Come here... come here... let me see you..." The voice was very soft and ethereal, but without a trace of emotion.

Tan Yin felt countless icy hands penetrate into her body from the top of her head, grabbing her spiritual consciousness, her eyes suddenly brightened, but in just a moment, all the divine power in her body was suppressed, and she let out a short and frightened cry With a cry, the consciousness was pulled out by those countless pairs of cold hands, and without the ability to resist, it was pulled away by a strong force in the direction where the monster was dragged away just now.

As soon as her consciousness left her body, she watched helplessly that the borrowed human body fell limply to the ground and was embraced by Yuan Zhong who was confused. She could no longer see clearly what happened next. The cold hands surrounded her and dragged her, which made her dizzy and unable to move.

The wind whistling beside her ear was like howling a ghost. She was dragged by the wind, passed through the clouds and mist, and then fell suddenly. The scene in front of her suddenly changed, as if she had been dragged into a huge lake.

She reluctantly looked up, and saw a crimson palace built in the lake. The walls of the palace were covered with cinnabar, and the lower part was carved with flame patterns, and the flames were also painted with cinnabar. At first glance, it looked like this The palace was placed on fire and burned.

This is a very ancient and powerful spell!
Tan Yin only had time to see this clearly, her consciousness was suddenly thrown high, and the fire-colored palace gate burst open, and she was dragged all the way into this palace that was placed on the flames of spells and roasted, the inside of the palace was pitch black, And as she was dragged in, the ancient oil lamps on the wall were polished one by one, and then extinguished.

Finally, a pitch-black wooden door slowly opened, and Tan Yin only felt her spiritual consciousness being dragged into the door, followed by darkness in front of her eyes, her spiritual consciousness was violently shaken, she couldn't hold it anymore, she passed out, blurred In the middle, I only heard the wooden door creak and close gently, and there was no more sound.

I don't know how long it took, Tan Yin was startled suddenly, opened his eyes suddenly, and saw the gorgeous and ancient carvings on the roof of the temple. It was actually made of peach wood.

Taomu town ghosts and evil spirits, but how can it be the roof?Tan Yin was dizzy and dizzy, and felt as if there was a raging fire burning underneath her body, which was extremely hot. She was a god with a strong sense of consciousness, but she was also extremely painful by the invisible fire.

She barely sat up and looked around. It seemed to be a huge palace. The light was dim, and she could vaguely see all kinds of runes painted on the walls from top to bottom, and the pillars were even more lifelike. The statue of the god is so majestic, she can even feel the divine power emanating from the statue.

The sound of water waves hitting the wall came softly, and Tan Yin's dizzy head suddenly remembered that she seemed to be dragged into a fiery red palace supported by spells before she fell into a coma. She suddenly woke up and jumped off the hot floor At the same time, that illusory voice sounded again.

"Little goddess who has not survived the human calamity, come here."

Tan Yin turned around quickly, and saw a small wooden window open in the west corner of the hall, and the sound of water waves hitting the wall came from there. This palace was built on a lake, and the lake's tide rose at night, and it seemed to be flush with the window .And there is a huge bed under the wooden window, the curtains are hanging down, layers upon layers, and there are faint figures inside.Beside the bed is a small blue pond, only as big as the mouth of a well. Inside, there are a few translucent red-headed carp swaying and swimming, sometimes jumping up silently, and their transparent bodies instantly turn into a cloud of blue mist and fall back into the water , and then continue to turn into carp.

where is this place?Who's on the bed?Tan Yin diffused her spiritual consciousness to the extreme, but she couldn't see clearly what the person under the curtain looked like, whether it was a god or a demon, which had never happened since she became a god.

"Come here." She called again.

Tan Yin couldn't help herself, and walked slowly towards the huge bed, and the closer she got, the more she could feel a sense of incomparable weirdness, all of this was too bizarre, and she couldn't feel the fluctuations of the monster, It is inevitable to be vigilant and uneasy.

When she was approaching the big bed, she suddenly opened her eyes wide - the monster that devoured the ghost just now was entrenched next to the bed!Tan Yin subconsciously took out the talisman from the Qiankun bag, but when she touched the empty waist, she remembered that she was dragged here by some unknown thing, and the Qiankun bag was still in that mortal body superior.

Why?She looked at the translucent monster in shock, why couldn't she feel the monster's fluctuations when it was close in front of her eyes?
"I haven't seen Mo for a long time." The person on the bed whispered, "Don't kill her, she's very interesting."

Tan Yin couldn't utter a single word, the curtains hanging down layer upon layer were suddenly pulled open by an invisible hand, and the person on the bed seemed to be silently communicating with the monster. After a long time, the curtains were slowly lowered , the illusory voice said softly: "I see, let me help you."

The monster roared silently, its huge body was lifted high by several invisible hands, and then two other hands mercilessly tore away from its body, and the translucent mist was torn off. On the ground, it turned into a pure white mist, and then returned to its body.

Tan Yin was almost stunned, but after a cup of tea, the huge monster with no human form was torn into a human shape by those invisible hands. It seemed to be in great pain, and after falling to the ground, it was coiled on the ground. shivering.

"Go." The voice said calmly, "I don't know if I can see you again."

The monster got up and seemed to salute the person on the bed. Although its body was still a mass of translucent mist, it already had a human shape. Lightly flew out of the wooden window.

"Wait a minute!" She chased after two steps, and suddenly an invisible hand grabbed her feet, and she almost lost her balance and fell.

"You..." Tan Yin looked at the person on the bed in horror, "You helped it into a human form, and you let it go..."

"Are you angry?" the voice asked lightly.

Tan Yin took a few deep breaths: "Who are you?"

The curtain was slowly lifted by an invisible hand, and a big snow-white cat lazily jumped out from the inside. Its green eyes looked at her as if it could talk, and it slowly walked to the pond step by step. Playing with the carp in the water.

"You haven't passed the human calamity yet, so you can't be regarded as a real god, but a goddess. You can't see my truth."

The person on the bed stretched out a hand, which was thin and pale, and beckoned to her.

"Thousands of years have passed, and now, whether it is a god or a demon, I am kind to you. Come here and get closer."

Tan Yin walked slowly to the side of the bed. Suddenly, the curtains were quickly lifted up by invisible hands, and the jade hook hooked them silently. The person on the bed was petite and thin. The little girl, with thick and long hair like silk, spread out on the light purple mattress.She was wearing a white single dress, thin and haggard, as if she was about to shatter and die at any moment.

However, none of these can compare to the shock of the three iron rings on her ankles and neck. Tan Yin's expression changed immediately when she saw the iron rings. She recognized that it was, that was made by herself. One of the artifacts, the Demon Killing Circle.At that time, when the gods and demons were fighting, the Demon Slaying Circle could suppress the strength of the demons, preventing them from resisting and capturing them alive for the gods.

"You recognize them." The little girl turned her head sideways, revealing her beautifully shaped jaw. Her lips were pale blue and white without a trace of blood. "You are an unparalleled craftsman, and you made this."

Tan Yin nodded silently: "That's right... I did it."

A slight smile appeared on the little girl's face: "You are a little goddess who has not survived the human calamity."

She has mentioned more than once that "has not passed the human calamity", Tan Yin hesitated, but did not ask, the things and people in front of her are too strange, beyond her cognition, she can't act rashly.

"I'll tell you what human robbery is, in exchange—" The little girl moved her foot slightly, and the iron chain made a cold collision sound. Her legs had shrunk so thin that they would break if touched. "In exchange, you will remove the Demon Slaying Circle."

Tan Yin's face remained unchanged, and she flatly refused: "I won't do this, you don't have to say it."

Although her identity cannot be seen, the fact that the Demon Killing Circle can trap her is enough to show that she must be extremely dangerous, and she will not let such a dangerous thing go free.

The little girl whispered: "Aren't you afraid that I will blow your soul away?"

Tan Yin only felt that countless invisible soft ropes bound her tightly, and suddenly tightened, her consciousness felt a sharp pain, as if it would be crushed at any time, and her soul would fly away.She closed her eyes tightly, gritted her teeth, and didn't say a word, let alone beg for mercy.

I don't know how long the stalemate lasted, but all the tight bonds on her body suddenly disappeared, and the little girl's soft and ethereal voice slowly sounded: "What's your name?"

Tan Yin desperately held back the severe pain in her consciousness, and said in a low voice: "...Ji Tanyin."

"Tan Yin." The little girl called her, and her winding long hair was carefully picked up and combed by many invisible hands, and finally wrapped into a bun. It was you who used your mortal body to make a heaven-defying artifact, so you died of a serious illness and wiped out your family, and the Earth Tribulation is your soul wandering in the mortal world for hundreds of years without escape."

Tan Yin was stunned when she heard this. Since she became a god, no one has ever said this to her, so she was half-believed for a while.

"You are just a goddess who has been bestowed with godhead, and you do not have the ability to bestow godhead on others, because you have not survived the calamity."

Tan Yin couldn't help interjecting: "All gods...have three calamities?"

The little girl nodded slowly: "Yes."

"But... the gods never told me..."

"The three calamities of heaven, earth and man are all unintentional. If you are prepared, you can't count as passing the calamity."

Tan Yin only felt that all of this was very mysterious and unheard of, but she also knew that what the child said was correct. The gods, kings and goddesses were completely different from the gods of origin. They were bestowed with godheads and performed their duties, but they did not have the ability to bestow godheads on others , Is it because people have never been robbed?
"You...you are...how do you know so much..." Tan Yin stared at her and asked stammeringly.

The little girl lowered her head, and the raised curtain was lowered and closed in an instant, blocking Tan Yin's sight.

"Let's go. I am very pleased to see a god and a demon again today. After you survive the human calamity, you will naturally know my origin. Now, you can call me Lake Princess."

Tan Yin wanted to say more, but suddenly felt a huge force pushing towards her chest, just like when she was caught, she couldn't resist, and was pushed out again, the wind sounded like a ghost crying in her ears, but in the blink of an eye, she felt dazed Consciousness was slammed on the ground, there was a violent shock, she couldn't help letting out a short moan, followed by a warm hand tightly holding her hand, Yuan Zhong's pale and anxious face appeared in sight.

"Are you awake?!" He was obviously excited, and the hand holding her was trembling very slightly.

Tan Yin looked at him in astonishment, then looked down at herself, she was pushed back into this mortal body just like that.
