In the eyes of the common people, monks are invulnerable and omnipotent beings who can go to heaven and earth, and their whole body and even their hair exudes an amazing light.
However, they don't know the hardships and dangers hidden behind this light.
Cultivation is risky, and killing evil spirits is even more dangerous, so bloodshed and the like have long become a daily routine in the lives of monks.
Therefore, Shen Qiqi did not take things like a small bloody gash on the tip of her tongue from being bitten by her teeth seriously.
However, Xie Beiming doesn't think so.
The moment the faint smell of blood wafted out from Shen Qiqi's mouth and nose, Mr. Xie, who could still remain calm despite the overwhelming pressure, suddenly changed his expression. He hurriedly reached out and pinched Shen Qiqi's lower jaw, forcing her to open her mouth. Open your mouth.
When he saw the small patch of dark red on Shen Qiqi's tongue, Xie Beiming's expression was visibly shrouded in chill.
That serious and tense look made Shen Qiqi wonder if she had bitten off her tongue.
She hurriedly said: "I'm fine, don't be so nervous..."
"sorry."
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Xie Beiming, whose cold eyes were no longer as deep as in the past.
At this moment, those eyes were full of self-blame.
The kind of self-blame that makes you want to tie yourself up and beat yourself up.
As if he had made some unforgivable mistake.
Shen Qiqi had not yet recovered from the shock he had given her just now, her mind was still in a semi-drowsy and semi-awake state, which was not enough. At this time, seeing his abnormal look of wanting to "die to apologize", she blurted out and asked One sentence: "Why do you have to say sorry to me?"
"..."
——Because I shouldn't have scared you just now.
——I am too greedy. I am not satisfied with the happiness I have now. I even want to take back the past that belonged to us in the previous life.
——This will never happen again.
Xie Beiming closed his eyes slightly, and the moment his long eyelashes swept across his lower eyelids, he raised them again.
When he opened his eyes again, his eyes had returned to their former calmness and clarity. He stared at the girl's little face, which was slightly pale due to fright, and explained: "Most of the world's evaluations of me are Qingfeng Jiyue. , a model of righteousness, so I want to see how you will react when you hear that I am a big devil."
His eyes moved a few inches and fell on the thin stain of bright red blood on the corner of Shen Qiqi's mouth. He blamed himself: "I didn't expect you to react so strongly...were you scared by me?"
Shen Qiqi: "..."
More than just scared by you!
I'm so scared to death of you!
Shen Qiqi shouted in her heart.
Fortunately it was really just a scare!
Shen Qiqi's three souls and six souls that were scared away returned to their places. She felt relieved and wanted to say "it's okay" to Xie Beiming.
However, in order to prevent the same thing from happening again in the future, she decided that it was necessary to make the matter more serious, so she deliberately put on a small face and said to Xie Beiming: "Well, you did scare me just now, you scared me so much I almost bit off my tongue...Don't let you scare me like this again."
This is the truth.
She was so frightened that she nearly bit off her tongue.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, in her last life, except when she had something to do, she went to Xie Beiming's cave to rob her. It seems that she probably... never did anything particularly sorry for Xie Beiming, right?
But she just didn't dare to face her previous life, especially in front of Xie Beiming.
It wasn't that he was afraid of letting Xie Beiming know how stupid he had been.
More than this, she was more afraid that Xie Beiming, after learning about her previous life, would misunderstand that the reason why she was good to him in this life was because he gave up his life for her in the previous life.
She didn't want Xie Beiming to have that misunderstanding.
Because misunderstandings like that hurt people.
Just now, when Xie Beiming whispered in her ear and told her that he was actually a big devil in his previous life, she was really frightened. Her first reaction was that Xie Beiming, like her, also came back from the previous life, so In shock, he accidentally bit his tongue.
Fortunately, Xie Beiming was just frightened.
After escaping a disaster, Shen Qiqi felt relieved that she had survived a catastrophe.
It's hard to avoid being a little pretentious when you loosen up quickly.
She hissed and gasped, staring at Xie Beiming with resentful eyes.
"Tell me, what kind of joke are you kidding me? Just kidding. You still make jokes like this that can scare people into screaming... Mr. Xie, let me tell you, I almost killed him just now." It's your fault if your tongue is bitten off."
"Well, my bad."
Xie Beiming felt the sense of relief in her tone, and then listened to her somewhat shameless... well, very cute coquettish tone. The chill on his body melted away unknowingly, and his thin lips curled up unconsciously. Make an upward arc.
He stretched out his hand to hug Shen Qiqi into his arms, rested his chin on her shoulder, and said softly, "Well, you're right, it's all my fault. I apologize to you... Qiqi, can you give me A chance to apologize?"
Shen Qiqi: "..."
How is she supposed to handle this?
She was obviously the one who complained first!
You can’t be too pushy in life!
The main reason is that she can't live with this issue in her conscience.
With her conscience awakened, Shen Qiqi quickly said: "No, no, no! In fact, I just..."
Before he could finish the next words, he was blocked by a deep kiss.
Xie Beiming's message sounded in the sea of consciousness.
"Qiqi, is this the way I apologize?"
Shen Qiqi: "..."
You did it and you asked me if it was okay!
And with this way of apologizing, it seems like I am the one who suffers!
Mr. Xie is indeed more promising than in his previous life.
Look, he is actually eating the tofu of this little girl.
Shen Qiqi's conscience, which she had just awakened, disappeared in a flash, and her brain was dizzy again from being kissed by Xie Beiming. So the moment she felt her mouth being pushed open, she bit the troublesome little thing in anger.
The little thing was bitten by her and remained calm for a moment.
It really only took a moment. Before Shen Qiqi had time to sigh that the little thing was so soft, the next moment she was faced with a violent counterattack.
Shen Qiqi, who was trapped in a cocoon, had her legs weakened by the attack. It was only thanks to the strength of Xie Beiming's arms around her waist that she could barely stand up.
When the first ray of night fell, the one-sided plundering of the city finally stopped. Shen Qiqi moved to the side with trembling legs, turned her back, and rummaged through her storage bag. A small bronze mirror, I looked in the mirror quietly.
As expected, her lips have become a lot thicker.
Mr. Xie's boldness is really... well hidden.
Shen Qiqi took back the mirror, looked up at the full moon and sighed quietly, feeling that it was very necessary for her to get to know Xie Beiming again. She could no longer look at Mr. Xie with the same old eyes, otherwise she would be the one who would suffer.
Just like today, her legs were shaking and she couldn't stand still, but the instigator was feeling very refreshed.
...Do you think you are angry?
Shen Qiqi grinded her teeth.
A man's low laughter came from behind.
Shen Qiqi was immediately furious, turning her head and akimbo to glare at Xie Beiming: "Xie Beiming, you... what's wrong with you?"
Seeing Xie Beiming suddenly frowning with a painful look on his face, Shen Qiqi immediately stopped blaming him and hurriedly went over to support him, asking anxiously: "What's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
As she spoke, her eyes swept up and down Xie Beiming's body. If she couldn't see any abnormalities with the naked eye, she was about to activate her spiritual consciousness. Xie Beiming stopped her and said in a low voice: "I'm fine, it's just...it's a bit hard to bear it."
Shen Qiqi:???
Shen Qiqi:!!!
Shen Qiqi reacted belatedly, and her little face instantly turned red.
Have you never eaten pork or seen a pig running?
Although she has no experience of love between men and women, when a man looks at you with burning eyes and tells you how hard it is to endure it... what else can it be like!
Shen Qiqi's face was so red that she felt like she was rolling through a rouge vat. She didn't know where to look, and it felt hot wherever she looked. She didn't even dare to look at Xie Beiming - this guy was having a fever right now. As for cigarettes, it's better for her not to take risks.
Fortunately, not far away at this moment, a cold and cold breath suddenly came out.
The two of them followed the breath and saw that it was the narrowest part of the valley.
At this time, an invisible but perceptible cold air was sending cold air out like a mountain spring.
Are the city gates about to open?
Shen Qiqi and Xie Beiming looked at each other, and after receiving confirmation in each other's eyes, all the ripples were instantly suppressed.
After all the trouble, business still needs to be done.
Shen Qiqi put the food on the blanket into the storage bag, stood up and was about to go over. Xie Beiming held her back: "Wait a minute." As he said that, he took out a delicate small porcelain bottle from the storage bag. Two dark-colored pills were poured out from it, one was put into his mouth, and the other was handed to Shen Qiqi, "Take this first."
"Oh, okay." Shen Qiqi swallowed it in one gulp, and the pills melted in her stomach. Only then did she remember to ask Xie Beiming, "What was that that I just ate?"
"Magic pill."
"...Magic pill?" Shen Qiqi was stunned.
This was the first time she had heard of such a thing as magic pills.
But after thinking about it, she quickly realized the significance of Xie Beiming's move.
When monks practice, they need to absorb spiritual energy, and the power they develop is called spiritual power.
What needs to be absorbed in the cultivation of evil spirits is demonic energy, and the power produced through cultivation is called magic power.
Spiritual energy is born between heaven and earth and is extremely refined and pure, while demonic energy is made up of all negative emotions such as resentment, fear, greed, killing and hatred in the world.
The difference between the two is as clear as day and night.
Jiuyou City is a place where evil spirits live, and all the people living in the city are evil spirits. Everyone carries the aura of evil spirits. If she and Xie Beiming entered the city with a strong aura, they would be like two people in a pack of wolves. A fat sheep walking among.
And it's the kind that's roasted to a shiny red color and fragrant.
At that time, let alone quietly inquire about Jiuying's situation, they were afraid that as soon as the two of them entered the city, they would be besieged by evil spirits all over the city.
Xie Beiming took the magic pill before entering the city. He thought that this thing should be able to cover up their aura, so that the evil spirits would not realize that they were human monks.
As expected, I heard Xie Beiming explain: "The magic pill can not only cover our breath, but also act as a blindfold, allowing us to use the magic pill without any scruples even in Jiuyou City where evil spirits gather. force."
To put it simply, magic pills can change their spiritual attributes.
This point can be said to be very important. At least when they encounter danger, they can protect themselves without any scruples, and they will not dare to use spiritual power because they are worried that the identity of human monks will be exposed.
——Xie Beiming thinks about things much more thoughtfully and carefully than I do.
Shen Qiqi said in her heart, the two of them took the magic pills to disguise themselves, and immediately walked to the place where the cold and cold atmosphere was the strongest.
To the naked eye, this area is actually no different from other places. At most, there are more gravels. However, when the two of them stood on the gravel holding hands, their bodies immediately felt as if they were being dragged by a strong force, and they sank instantly. Got in.
Just when their bodies began to sink, Qiu Changfeng, who didn't dare to stop for a moment, finally caught up with them.
Just in time to see the two figures swallowed up by the rubble.
Without thinking, Qiu Changfeng hurriedly chased after them. He originally planned to reach out and grab them, but unfortunately he was a step too slow. When his fingers touched the gravel, Shen Qiqi and Xie Beiming were completely swallowed up by the gravel. .
At this time, it was too late for Qiu Changfeng to stop.
Like Shen Qiqi and Xie Beiming, Qiu Changfeng also felt a huge suction coming up from under the gravel, as if an invisible hand was pulling him down.
What followed was a suffocating feeling as if my throat was being pinched.
Qiu Changfeng was frightened, and subconsciously started to use his spiritual power to protect his body. As a result, his spiritual power was like stagnant water. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't stir up any splash at all!
What the hell is this place!
It can actually imprison cultivation!
Qiu Changfeng didn't have time to think about it, the feeling of suffocation intensified, his vision went dark, and he fell into a coma.
At this time, Jiuyou City was in the city lord's palace.
In the stone room that exuded a strong smell of blood, a man in a wide robe and long sleeves lay lazily on a couch. He looked at the man in the pool of blood who was in so much pain that his face was hideous. He shook his head and said, "Obviously, I can change everything without suffering." You have to keep this broken body in your new body, so why are you going through such trouble... That's all, since you are considered half of my disciple, I will take pity on you."
After the man finished speaking, he gave instructions: "Go and pick out a few of the monks locked up in the dungeon who have strong spiritual power to give your Lord Protector a tonic."
Taking supplements from monks has better and faster effects than taking supplements from ordinary people.
The process is shortened, and the pain suffered during the process is naturally shortened.
The demons on duty outside responded and left.
Soon a group of monks came over.
It was a real string. The monks were all barefoot, and their hands were tied tightly with ropes. There were five or six monks tied to one rope, and they were lined up next to each other. It didn't look like a string.
It's just a bunch of people.
The monk tied at the front was pushed into the blood pool first.
He was originally unconscious, but after being pushed into the pool of blood, he suddenly opened his eyes for only half a breath, and his eye sockets almost burst open, and his eyeballs bulged horribly, and his hands He slapped the surface of the pool desperately, his face was twisted in extreme pain.
And this distortion only lasted for a few short breaths.
Such a burly monk only struggled in the blood pool for a few breaths before his whole body turned into a pool of blood and merged with the blood pool.
Then the second monk was pushed down.
It wasn't until the fifth monk was pushed in that the person soaked in the blood pool slowly opened his eyes.
It was Shen Ning'er.
She looked at her broken arm that had grown back, and there was a flash of cruelty in her eyes. She was about to close her eyes and continue to absorb the power from the blood pool to repair herself.
But at this moment, she saw something, her eyes suddenly widened, and she hurriedly said: "Stop!" As she said that, she rushed to the blood pool, looked straight at the monk with his hands tied, and said in surprise : "Autumn Changfeng!"
