Chapter 117 Xiaoyu Palace (3)
byChapter 117 Xiaoyu Palace (3)
One side of the barrier city is surrounded by thousands of mountains, and the other side is the Long Lake of Silence. This place became an isolated city a hundred years ago, but the disciples of the Nine Sects didn't know it.When they saw the rain falling in the city, they all thought it was a demon.
The inns and inns in Zhancheng were abandoned and withered, and the group finally chose a temple as their base.The temple has long been dilapidated and cobwebs are infested.
The older Nascent Soul disciples used their master's magic weapons to set up formations outside the temple.
They discuss countermeasures here at night and go out to slay demons during the day.
The dark wind howled in the street, and there was a mist.After Yan Qing went there once and found no clues, he took the initiative to stay and take care of the injured people they brought back.This time, by coincidence, the person who fell into his hands was an old acquaintance, Granny Guan.
Yan Qing tapped Grandma Guan's mute point. In her shocked and frightened eyes, she smiled calmly and said to the people of the Spiritual Medicine Sect: "Don't worry, leave it to me. I will definitely protect them."
"Then I'll trouble you, fellow Taoist."
After everyone left, Yan Qing took Granny Guan to a small side room in the temple.
The murals on the Buddha statues here have long been mottled and peeled off, and red candles are burning on the desks.By the dim candlelight, Yan Qing's clothes were like blood, standing next to the green-faced and fanged Rakshasa, making the whole figure look like a ghost.
Granny Guan burst into tears: "Don't kill me, don't kill me, I'm innocent. Whatever you want to ask, I'll tell you, I'll tell you, don't kill me!"
She had done countless evil things in her life, and had the blood of countless people on her hands, but when she died, she became an innocent and pitiful honest person.
Yan Qing said calmly: "You don't need to tell me what I want to know in person. It's a waste of time."
With a twist of his finger, the red thread pierced Granny Guan's forehead, directly searching for her soul and reading her memory regardless of her life or death.
Grandma Guan's memory revolves around the Su Mansion.
After sending Yan Qing into the city lord's palace, Su Qu sensed that the situation was not good and sent his wife out of the city in advance, and has been staying behind closed doors since then.
During the time when the demon was doing evil in Barrier City, the people in Barrier City tried to seek help from the Su Mansion and the City Lord's Mansion.But Su Qu was nowhere to be seen, and the city lord's mansion was mysterious.Many people are desperate and just want to escape from here.Granny Guan is one of them.
However, the irony is that no one from Zhancheng can escape from his homeland.Growing up in the rain, their blood, body, and soul were wet and heavy, making it difficult to walk in the fog.
Yan Qing slowly pulled out the soul thread from Grandma Guan's body, looked at her resentful eyes, and smiled softly: "I said it before when I left. The matter in Barrier City is not over yet."
Yan Qing found the senior sister from the Shangyang Sect at night. After regretfully telling her the news of Grandma Guan's death, he also told her about the City Lord's Mansion in a concise and comprehensive manner.
"The City Lord's Mansion is the only refuge for the rest of the people now, but the City Lord is cowardly and selfish, so he won't open the door. The officials are extravagant and lustful inside, while the people are living outside the door worse than death."
The senior sister of Shangyang School was furious when she heard this: "This is really unreasonable."
The next day during the day, the senior sister of the Shangyang Sect offered a bell, and in conjunction with the clear sound of the wooden fish from the Foxiang Temple, the sound spread throughout the barrier city, asking the people to come out and go to the city lord's mansion to seek hope for life.

The demon species is so cunning that the residents of Barrier City have long lost trust in outside voices, and no one is willing to open their doors or windows.
Yan Qing looked at the senior sister standing in the center of the main road, ringing the bell for a long time in every house, but there was no movement. She walked forward and said with a smile: "Friend Taoist, I heard another word from that old lady., holy water, maybe if you add it, it will be of some use."
The senior sister was stunned, bit her lip and said, "Okay, I'll give it a try."
It turned out to be effective.
The people of Zhancheng, who had never made a sound despite all the talk before, were like poisonous snakes that rushed out after smelling the smell when they heard the word "holy water". They opened the doors and windows and rushed out impatiently, and the long street was filled with black people.
The nine disciples were startled when they faced the faces with a faint cold light.
The people in the barrier city, especially the women, look even more strange.
They have thin eyelids and thin lips, but their faces are as swollen as a steamed bun.Moreover, almost all the women in the barrier city have big bellies and wear extremely loose clothes.
The senior sister from the Shangyang Sect forced herself to calm down and told herself that these are a group of innocent people. She said: "Thank you for your trust. I am here to eliminate demons under the orders of the sect, and I will definitely protect your safety."
But no one in the city paid attention to her, not even a word of gratitude. They just looked at her numbly and anxiously, waiting for her to fulfill her promise.
Yan Qing walked in front, looking at Shangyang Sect and Foxiang Temple. One person rang the bell and the other rang the bell, dispersing the long fog and summoning the mortals to march towards the city lord's palace.
This scene of empty streets happened two hundred years ago.
Yan Qing saw a child holding a peach branch at the edge of the team. The child was dressed in red and green, with two small horns on his head. He looked so cute.He was obviously full of curiosity about the outside world. He opened his eyes wide and looked at every brick and tile in the city. However, he was so absorbed in observing that he did not pay attention to the road. He tripped over a stone and fell to the ground, letting out a pitiful cry.Ah purr.
Yan Qing looked at him for a long time, walked over to help him up from the ground, and asked in a low voice: "Child, why don't you hold an umbrella or look at the road on a rainy day?"
The child's eyes were red with grievance, and when he rolled up his trouser legs, he discovered that the skin on his knees had been torn.He couldn't walk anymore, so he could only look at Yan Qing with tears in his eyes.Yan Qing did not refuse and picked him up from the mud.
The child's body temperature is warm, and there is a fragrance of peach wood in his clothes.
"Thank you, brother."
The child sniffed, and then asked in a sweet voice: "Brother, where are we going now?"
Yan Qing said calmly: "Brother doesn't know either."
The child said in fear: "Brother, many people have died in the city recently. Will I die?"
Yan Qing said: "Maybe."
The child was about to cry with his mouth flat: "Brother, you really don't know how to comfort people."
Yan Qing smiled slightly, but asked in an irrelevant and cold voice: "How complete is your mana recovery?"
The child blinked, looking extremely innocent: "Ah, brother, what are you talking about?"
"There are no children in the city."
Yan Qing took the peach branch from his hand, turned his wrist, and the pointed branch was directly pressed against the child's throat. He smiled, with red light in his eyes: "I'm too lazy to talk nonsense to you, Xie Shiyi is nowWhere."
The child giggled. He no longer pretended or played riddles with Yan Qing.A pair of green eyes looks more innocent and pure in a child.
"You want to save him?"
Yan Qing said: "There is no need to scare me. You are not qualified to kill him now. You just spent a lot of time to lock him up for a few days. What's the use?"
The devil raised the corners of his lips with an innocent expression: "Of course it works, brother."
He suddenly raised his hand and pointed to the crowd in front.The skylight shines directly down, and the shadows are long and twisted, overlapping on the ground, forming a black underground river.
"Yan Qing, do you still remember what I told you in Shifang City? I said that everyone has a nightmare in their body, just like a shadow, which they cannot get rid of forever and ever."
Yan Qing said: "Then what happens."
The Demon God smiled and said: "Then you have to admit one thing. As long as there are still people in this world, it is impossible for me to perish."
Yan Qing pursed her lips and stopped talking.
The Demon God said: "I was born because of the evil of God Killer, but my continued existence is very simple."
"Human emotions and desires are too complicated. Evil thoughts can be born at every moment."
"Oh, by the way, don't you Buddhists have the theory of the eight sufferings? Birth, old age, illness and death are suffering, resentment and hatred are suffering, love and separation are suffering, not wanting is suffering, and the five aggregates are burning and suffering."
"Look at this city, birth, aging, sickness and death are happening all the time."
The demon sneered and took the peach branch back from Yan Qing's hand.It changed shape and doubled in size again.Swinging her bare legs like a doll, she sat on Yan Qing's shoulders.
Holding the peach branch, his green eyes looked at the city built for Him without any emotion.
"In fact, its birth seems to explain the pain of 'birth'."
The devil said: "Do you think they are pitiful?"
Yan Qing smiled sarcastically.
The devil said: "Do you want to save them?"
Yan Qing had long since developed the habit of turning a deaf ear to his words.
The Demon God was no longer obsessed with this topic. He just tilted his head and spoke in a long voice with a smile.
"You certainly don't want to save them. But your lover doesn't think so."
Yan Qing looked indifferent.
Seeing him like this, the Demon God gritted his teeth and said word by word: "Yan Qing, Xie Shiyi can be saved even if he doesn't want to - he is the chief disciple of the Wangqing Sect, the direct descendant of Emperor Nandou, and the leader of the Immortal Alliance. This is his mission., it is also his responsibility, he must save!"
Yan Qing only looked at the road ahead and said calmly: "It turns out that the people who are best at moral kidnapping are people like you."
Demon God: "How can this be moral kidnapping? Someone has to sacrifice and pay, right? He has enjoyed all the power, the admiration of the world, and the talents brought by Liulixin, so it is natural for him to take this step."

Yan Qing walked in the mist and rain and smiled softly.
The devil's eyes rolled slightly, and he began to lower his voice again: "Taking a step back. Yan Qing, if Xie Shiyi is a selfish coward living in his own world, will you still love him?"
Yan Qing said calmly: "Continue."
The Demon God smiled solemnly: "Okay, I'll continue. Yan Qing, do you know the only way to seal me in this world?"
"Xiaoyu Palace, let Xie Shiyi use his life as a sacrifice and Liulixin as the formation eye to activate the demon-slaying formation again."
The devil's voice came through the hazy mist and rain.
"I'm going to tell you how to seal it, Yan Qing, do you dare to try it?"
The devil said calmly: "Xie Shiyi was born with the mission of ending the troubled times, and even Wei Shengzhuang had such hopes for him. Otherwise, Wei Shengzhuang hated Lan Xize so much at the time, and would have strangled him to death in his stomach., how could he survive?"
"It can be said that the purpose of Xie Shiyi's birth is to save the world." She pointed her finger forward and pointed at the people in Barrier City and said, "Including them."
"If Xie Shiyi doesn't save her, then it will be unfilial to Wei Shengzhuang, unjust to the Wangqing Sect, and unkind to the world!"
"Yan Qing, if you really loved him, would you have the heart to let him bear such a charge of being unfilial, unjust, and unkind?"
Yan Qing raised his head and let the misty rain next to him brush against his cheek.
He never liked chatting with the devil because he was too noisy.
The Demon God clicked to stop, and when he said this, he smiled and closed his mouth.He was sitting on Yan Qing's shoulders, holding a peach branch in his hands. He was carved in pink and jade like a fairy boy in a painting.Yan Qing rarely listened to the devil's words, but this time the devil's last words seemed to solve the question that he had never been able to find the answer to.
Why did Xie Shiyi let out blood to save the city?
He followed the dark crowd, as if he had entered that weird dream.
Thousands of people also gathered at the City Lord's Mansion, where Bai Xiaoxiao knelt down in tears, and where Xie Shiyi turned around silently.There, pairs of greedy and selfish eyes were fulfilled as they wished.
The moist rain is like silk, covering the sky and covering the earth, so it also makes all the sounds outside the world.Yan Qing stood at the end of the crowd, watching the disciples of the Shangyang Sect and the Spiritual Medicine Sect talking to the city lord in the sky through the door.Yanqing didn't pay attention to what they talked about, but she only knew that the people around her were getting more and more annoyed and agitated.
He was looking boredly at the flowers blooming in the corner of the wall. Unexpectedly, in the end, the finger of blame was pointed at himself, making him the protagonist.
After several negotiations.
There was a long sigh from the sky, and then a blue bird drove down, and a group of people walked out of it.The three leaders were Bai Ziqian, Bai Xiaoxiao and Yan Lexin.
The senior sister from the Shangyang Sect was stunned when she saw the clothes of the Hehuan Sect: "Yan Lexin?"
Yan Lexin glanced at her and said nothing.Seeing this, Bai Xiaoxiao took the initiative to stand up, bit her lip and said, "It's good that everyone is here today. There is something I want to say on behalf of my brother. We came to Zhancheng a few days earlier than everyone else, so we received the reply from the sect in advance., Now the situation in Shangzhongtian is even more dire. Almost all the elders of the nine sects have been sent to the Cangman Sea to solve the problem of the Demon Valley, and I am afraid they have no time to take care of the human world."
The people in Zhangcheng who had been waiting impatiently for a long time suddenly became chaotic.All kinds of curses, noises and insults were heard.
Bai Xiaoxiao stood in the wind with a pale face, and spoke after a long time: "But please be patient, my brother received a letter in his room yesterday. Some people said that everyone in Barrier City can be saved, and only one thing is needed."
The senior sister from the Shangyang School was stunned and said, "What's the matter?"
Bai Xiaoxiao held the portrait in her hand, making her palms sweaty. She couldn't tell what her mood was now, whether she was happy, shocked or sad.He had forgotten what happened in Tinglan's secret realm, and did not believe that Xie Shiyi escaped because of Yan Qing. With so many rumors, he only knew that Yan Qing was a demon.
Bai Xiaoxiao slowly unfolded the portrait in front of everyone: "This man will come to Barrier City in the near future. He is a heinous demon species. As long as his blood dyes the moat red, we can be saved!"
"Show me." Even from a distance, it was not clear through the rain and fog. The senior sister from the Shangyang School stepped forward, reached for the piece of paper, and suddenly turned pale after seeing the face on it clearly.With a bang, the paper was wetted by the rain and fell heavily to the ground.With trembling lips, she turned around in the rain and cast her eyes on Yan Qing in disbelief.
The devil had been waiting for this scene for a long time. He was shaking his legs and humming a tuneless song, in a very good mood.
Yan Qing slowly raised his head, and the overwhelming rain flowed across the bridge of his nose.The handsome young man is like the most distinctive figure in this misty and rainy city.
When Bai Xiaoxiao followed her line of sight and saw Yan Qing himself, her expression changed drastically.
Yan Qing was almost amused by this scene.
He pointed to himself: "Me? I'm here to bleed and save the city?"
Xie Shiyi originally wanted to find an exit in the cave.Unexpectedly, after searching, he found something from a long time ago on the wall.The green phosphorus powder rustled down, and after touching a certain mechanism, the entire cave shook.
The mountain wall peeled off the moss and powdery loess, completely revealing the innermost stone color to him.
The smooth walls are covered with graffiti, including words and paintings, all left by microscopic makeup.
She completely got rid of the control of the nightmare in the dungeon of the Soul Heart Palace, and after regaining her freedom, even if she stayed alone in this cave of despair, she seemed to be happier than before.
She used pointed stones to draw straight characters, recording the passage of time and the changes of the years.She uses words to write travel notes and memories, writing whatever comes to mind, as if she wants to put all the treasures she has seen in the mountains and seas into her pen.
She lost everything, but staying alone in this cave seemed to still be able to enjoy herself freely.
Treasure hunters are inherently lonely.
Dying in loneliness was actually not difficult for her to accept.
Weishengzhuang wrote.
"I guess the Forgotten Cauldron should be the same size as the wine bottle used at the banquet. It is a black four-legged square tripod. Although it is small, it can accommodate the world. I asked Dabai if the Forgotten Cauldron would shine, and Dabai said that they were born in darkness.How can it possibly shine!"

"Well, if it's a treasure that can't glow at night, I feel like there's something missing."
In the first few months, she was still recording what she saw in her life. Later, as the presence of the child in her belly became more and more intense, her records changed a lot.
Wei Shengzhuang was actually at a loss. She would occasionally be in a hurry and not know how to face this child.
But how can a person who can still remain sincere and passionate after losing everything and seeing through the harshness of the world give birth to a child out of hatred.
She was destined not to see this child grow up.
So she was in the cave, facing the mural, just like the phantom of the Forgotten Cauldron, recording the growth that she was destined to be absent from, from birth to toddler, to high-spirited, high-spirited,
She thought that this child must be good-looking and very talented. Whether his personality was like hers or someone else's, he must have been quite withdrawn when he was a child.He lives alone and doesn't care what others think, like a cold snow dumpling.Every time she thought of this, she couldn't help but laugh.
There is always only an outline in the painting, without specific facial features, but the expression is vividly displayed.
She put pen to paper one stroke at a time.
"You saved me from a love nightmare, and I hope you will never be trapped by a love nightmare in the future."
"Don't be controlled by evil thoughts, don't be crazy about love, don't lose yourself."
"But you are Liu Lixin, so you shouldn't encounter this. But living too soberly is not necessarily a good thing. I hope you can meet someone who truly loves you."
"Love is good, but some people's love is not good."
Xie Shiyi looked at this passage, his cold eyes not moving away for a long time.He watched Wei Shengzhuang's life as an outsider in the Yishi Pearl.
So standing in front of this wall, I can imagine her holding up the charcoal with a smile on her lips.She tied up her long hair like a girl, and the red beans on her braid were shining brightly.
"I once thought it would be great if you could end the chaos."
"But during the subsequent conversation with Baymax, I discovered that the chaos caused by Nightmare cannot be ended."
"So be it, I don't want you to have to bear all this when you are born. I want you to grow up safely and without worries."
"As for the name, although I have chosen it for you in my heart, I won't say it. It will be a secret that no one in the world knows."
She chose to die without worries, so she didn't want to give him any bonds.
Xie Shiyi lowered his eyes. The Buhui Sword was already in his hand, but the tip of the sword fell on the wall full of marks and then spiraled into his sleeve.
Instead of breaking through the wall, he turned around and looked for a way again.
Xie Shiyi sat cross-legged on the black stone, closed his eyes, and began to activate the spiritual energy and blood in his body.
Yan Qing was really amused by this scene.
In the dream, Bai Xiaoxiao cried and said to Xie Shiyi: "Brother Shiyi, please save them..."
Now, Bai Xiaoxiao looked shocked and said, "It's him! It's him! Get him."
Yan Qing is now in the Mahayana stage and cannot be approached by this group of juniors. After several useless efforts, Bai Xiaoxiao's expression changed again. He was sad and angry: "Yan Qing, do you want to watch the people in this city?"Are you going to die alive? You are a monk, you will not die even if you bleed and dye this river red! Do you really want to be so selfish?"
Yan Qing asked back: "Am I not a demon? If I don't just watch them die, how can I take action?"
Bai Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment.
He just said those words casually.
The people in Zhancheng suddenly burst into tears when they saw this.First there was one person, and finally there were a hundred, a thousand, ten thousand.Some were wailing, or kneeling down to beg for mercy, their voices even drowning out the heavy rain.
The senior sisters of Shangyang Sect couldn't bear to stand up.She didn't know what to say, but she still looked at Yan Qing with faint disapproval and pleading.
Yan Qing looked at the "innocent" people on the ground.
He didn't say a word, but the devil smiled.
He said: "Yan Qing, believe it or not, if you don't bleed now, it will be your lover who bleeds later."
The Demon God didn't know about "The Nightmare of Love" or Yan Qing's fears.
So he didn't expect that Yan Qing would tighten the hand hidden in his sleeve with his casual words.
A cold red light flashed in Yan Qing's eyes, then disappeared, and he smiled slightly: "Well, what you said makes sense."
The Demon God originally planned to deceive Xie Shiyi's Liuli Heart and directly threaten Yan Qing with Xie Shiyi's life. He didn't expect Xie Shiyi to be so difficult to deal with. After changing his strategy, he didn't expect that Yan Qing would actually do it with just a few words.Confused???
Yan Qing actually cares about Xie Shiyi so much?The child holding the peach branch was stunned for a moment, and then his green eyes curved into beautiful crescent moons.
Yan Qing raised his hand, and the red thread pierced his shoulder directly like a sharp sword. The blood dyed the red clothes deeper, and a steady stream of blood snaked and accumulated under his feet.
The people in Zhancheng were frozen in place, unable to say a word.
Yan Qing asked the Demon God softly: "What do you want to do?"
The devil said: "You have done everything you can to bleed him, how can you still not guess what I want to do?"
The peach blossom branches in His arms shattered into pieces and fell into powder in the misty rain.
"Then Yan Qing, let's make a deal. You help me be reborn. How about I send you to another world, away from everything here?"
"You know. The evil thoughts are endless. Even if Xie Shiyi seals me with his life, it will only be safe for another ten thousand years. You have to believe in humans, and you have to believe that they will not let me sleep for too long."
"Just like fate, Xie Shiyi can't have both in this world."
Yan Qing twisted the silk thread in his hand and asked, "What do you want me to do?"
The Demon God curled his lips and smiled, then leaned close to his ear and said, "You were originally resurrected from a dead body. How about I give you a more powerful body? He has the power of devouring and will soon become the best in the world."
His first step was to induce Yan Qing to fall in love with Bai Xiaoxiao.

He wants to speak to your soul.Bai Xiaoxiao is the container of his resurrection, and he is destined to be resurrected in Bai Xiaoxiao's body.
Yan Qing said: "Okay."
The demon was stunned.
It all went so smoothly that He didn't even use his trump card.But that's fine, I saved the trump card until the end.
The drop of Bai Xiaoxiao's blood that Xie Shiyi drank had too many miraculous effects.
If Yan Qing, after giving everything for Xie Shiyi, discovers that the person he loves has Bai Yueguang for whom he can give his life.
What will happen?
Yan Qing will definitely collapse, just like the desperate boy who walked forty-one steps.
In the same body, when Yan Qing was desperate and relaxed, that was the best time for Him to take action.
