Without the prosperity of the human world, time in the demon world seems to pass very quickly. Just like the setting sun behind the mountains, it was still showing its face just now, but it has returned home in the blink of an eye.
Unconsciously, two months have passed, and tomorrow is the day to set out for the Northern Wilderness.
On the night before leaving, Lord Linyuan, Bai Yunsheng sat leaning against a pillar, looking at the red sun setting outside Tianzhu Peak, and drank a few more sips of wine from the gourd.
This was the first time he drank alcohol in the year since he came to Tiandi Mountain. When he was practicing at Qisha Peak, Chu Han had been strictly forbidden to drink alcohol. Such earthly things have no taste to the God of Death, and drinking too much will block the meridians.
, slow down the movement of karma.
It's just that the God of Death, who is so high above the world, can't understand the enjoyment of drinking wine.
At this time, the cold remaining light from the west shines in the orange-red sky. Not far away, the dusk mist floats over Luofeng Valley, like a broad river of clouds stretching straight into the sky.
The dark night is about to fall, and the mountain forest before the beasts set out is a little more lonely.
Xiang Wujian walked out of the attic, stood aside, and asked with a smile:
"How about the wine? This is the fifty-year-old Hantan incense I asked for from my master."
Bai Yunsheng shook the wine gourd and said with a smile: "Cold to the bone, warm and shocking, clear and pure, it is indeed a unique wine in the Western Wilderness Demon World."
Whether it was cultivation or the recent palace examination, Bai Yunsheng always had a childish air, but whenever he mentioned wine, he seemed to have aged thirty years, and his eyebrows and tone of voice had become darker for thirty years.
After saying that, he threw his head back and took a big sip, then threw the gourd to Xiang Wujian.
“Fine wine should be shared with friends.”
Xiang Wujian smiled handsomely, raised the gourd and took a big sip. As expected, the ice and fire hit him, and he felt very happy.
"We are leaving tomorrow, are you ready?"
Bai Yunsheng spread his hands: "I have nothing to prepare."
Xiang Wujian looked at Bai Yunsheng, who was quite different from usual, and asked meaningfully: "You haven't figured it out yet?"
"What do you think? Nan Fei deliberately gave in to ensure that I would be in the top three. I'm still confused to this day."
"Master Chu Han didn't tell you anything?"
"No, that old man has been torturing me recently."
"It is right to step up your practice."
Bai Yunsheng curled his lips and said, "I'm not tired either, but it's just too boring and I'm not allowed to drink."
"It seems that you have not yet understood the essence of the Seven Killing Steps."
"kill?"
Xiang Wujian smiled softly and said: "As far as I know, although Uncle Chu Han is from the same sect as the Demon King, he is an ancient ferocious beast with a murderous nature. He created his own "Severing Heart"
"Dharma", a set of seven-kill body technique that is unparalleled in the world, and its third level is the real essence. The Seven-kill Prison that Master Chu Han realized through this made the entire world change its color.
"
"Seven Killing Prison? By the way, Brother Xiang, how is your understanding of that prison?"
"no progress."
"oh."
Xiang Wujian shook his head and said with a hint of regret: "Prison is a new space that practitioners accidentally use their karma to create when they comprehend the skills. They can focus on attack, defense and control. There are many geniuses in the world who have understood the prototype of prison.
But those who can live to practice to the late stage of the Great Camp and open the prison in the Blue Soul Realm are very rare."
Bai Yunsheng also felt sorry for his friend, so he changed the topic and said:
"Brother Xiang, where is your Ganshan place?"
Xiang Wujian also put away his regrets and said with a smile: "It's adjacent to Qianzebuzhou. It's a beautiful place."
"Oh, is it prosperous there?"
"It's not exactly prosperous, but it's still somewhat famous."
"Not as good as Liangzhou City?"
"Liangzhou is the greatest city in the world, how can it be compared to other places?"
"Oh, I really want to take a look."
Bai Yunsheng's expression suddenly turned gloomy, and there was a hint of yearning and envy in his words.
Xiang Wujian asked curiously: "What about you?"
"I don't know. I only remember what happened after I woke up from the valley. I have mostly forgotten everything I experienced before, but some of the things I learned are still there."
"Amnesia?"
"It seems so. But it seems not."
Bai Yunsheng recalled what the mysterious old man in the Vulcan Stream said, saying that some of his memories were suppressed and hidden by a powerful force within his body.
Xiang Wujian quietly stared at Bai Yunsheng for a while, then said:
"There has been no good doctor in the demon world for a long time. When you get down from the mountain, I will help you find a doctor."
"Thank you, brother."
"miss home?"
"I don't even want to."
"oh?"
Xiang Wujian looked at the young man beside him with interest.
Bai Yunsheng tried his best to smile and said calmly: "Sometimes I feel very much because I don't know where I come from, and my heart is empty; sometimes I don't feel it at all. Besides, I am too weak. Master said that I have his protection in Tiandi Mountain.
, no one dared to embarrass me, but once I got out of the mountains, there were dangers in the vast rivers and lakes, and even if I wanted to find a home, it would be very difficult. And I didn’t know where to look.”
There was a hint of concern in Xiang Wujian's eyebrows, and he asked concernedly: "Then what are you going to do?"
"Just take it one step at a time. Improve your strength first."
For the second time, Bai Yunsheng thought of the mysterious man in the Fire God Stream. He said that the solution to the imprisonment in his body was in the Central Plains. This sentence was too broad. Bai Yunsheng was now in the Demon World of the Western Wasteland. The Central Plains was far to the east, and the five major continents were
The territory is vast.
Fortunately, hope is still there, and Bai Yunsheng never gave up on himself.
Xiang Wujian seemed to have made a decision. He patted Bai Yunsheng on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I'll look for it with you."
"Brother Xiang, doesn't he have a family?"
"It's just an old place."
Perhaps emotions are contagious, and there was actually melancholy in Xiang Wujian's words.
"Oh. My eldest brother is extremely talented. It's only a matter of time before he gets listed on the '100-year-old list'. I'm not going to be able to do it anymore. Master said my progress is extremely slow."
Bai Yunsheng almost blurted out the truth about his body.
Xiang Wujian murmured sadly: "It's just a list, it's of little use."
This twenty-year-old handsome young man spoke angrily like an eighty-year-old old man. There seemed to be a huge wave lurking in his heart, and the wave was beating on the shore of his heart, but there was no echo.
At this time, that inexplicable impulse suddenly surged out from the bottom of his heart. Bai Yunsheng threw away his last hesitation and said calmly:
"Brother Xiang, actually... I am not a demon, and I have no karma."
"Is that so?"
Contrary to Bai Yunsheng's expectation, Xiang Wujian did not show excessive surprise.
He said quietly: "Master said that you are a descendant of the monster Qingluan, but I didn't expect that you are not a monster or a practitioner."
Bai Yunsheng stood up and said, "Brother, you won't look down on me, right?"
Xiang Wujian showed his most innocent smile and said: "Haha, what about humans, so what about demons? To heaven and earth, they are just white horses passing through the gap. The rivers and lakes are treacherous, and the sea of suffering has no shore. It is better to be an ordinary person. Besides, you
This call of "big brother" is not for nothing."
"Hahaha···"
The two young men laughed loudly in unison.
Xiang Wujian took another sip of Hantanxiang and returned the wine gourd to Bai Yunsheng.
When the love is right, you will know the wine is strong.
The sunset has gone, replaced by a starry night.
This is Bai Yunsheng’s first time drinking in Tiandi Mountain, and also his first time drinking with friends.
After drinking for three rounds, Xiang Wujian suppressed his smile and said worriedly: "However, this trip to the Northern Wilderness is no small matter. It is said that the reward for the winner is different from the previous ones. The other two demon worlds will definitely go all out, and the ones they selected will
No one is weaker than me."
Bai Yunsheng said nonchalantly: "I didn't intend to be a winner. With Senior Brother Nan Fei here, it's not something I worry about. But even if there is danger, I have a way to save my life. Brother, don't worry."
Xiang Wujian nodded and said: "The Seven Killing Steps are a good choice for escaping, but it just insults its reputation."
As he spoke, he took out something from his arms and continued: "As far as I know, Pilu Wonderland is an independent space. You will be scattered in different places to find a way out. You will inevitably encounter strong enemies when the time comes. Take this.
Go ahead."
As he spoke, Xiang Wujian handed Bai Yunsheng a jade stone with a colorful halo.
Bai Yunsheng was attracted immediately and looked at the jade with his eyes fixed on it: "This is..."
"When I came here, an old man at home gave it to me. It's called Jiuli Jade. You can take it with you for self-defense."
Bai Yunsheng took the colorful Jiuli Jade in surprise and said:
"Great, then I'll borrow it first and return it to my brother when I get back from Beihuang."
Xiang Wujian smiled smartly and said, "No, I'll give it to you."
Bai Yunsheng looked hesitant and said, "This is a very precious thing. Why, brother..."
"Because we are all the same."
...
night.
The night is like a poisonous snake.
After the ugly hour, everything in Luofeng Valley was completely quiet. Most of the creatures in the demon world had taken a rest. Only the two black figures halfway up the mountainside at the entrance of the valley were still whispering.
A black figure cried hoarsely and said: "They will set off tomorrow, please be ready, Your Majesty."
The voice of another shadow was shrill, like a mouse grinding its teeth in the cracks of the stone:
"The great king's cultivation of you is not in vain. Don't worry, if what you say is true, they will be killed."
"Don't forget my conditions."
"As long as you don't get killed by mistake."
"As long as the palace master is here, nothing will happen to me."
"Huh, that's good."
The thin voice pierced the night sky and gradually disappeared.
The stars and moon are bright and clear. The moonlight spreads in the beautiful valley, and the night glow shines brightly.
The dark figure who just spoke flew towards the valley. His speed was so fast that his face was unrecognizable. Only his left sleeve could be seen fluttering in the wind.
