The wood chips exploded and scattered, and spiritual power scattered.

Qing Ying's long-haired sleeves were blown wildly by the frantic airflow brought by the spiritual power, but she didn't care so much, she raised her eyes in surprise, and found that the person who came was none other than Xie Qingci!

Qing Ying jumped to Xie Qingci's side: "Senior brother!"

Then she glared at Su Mu angrily, and explained the incident quickly.

"I was standing by your side, but this guy suddenly appeared and used some sorcery to snatch me away. He recovered and was in this sedan chair. He asked me to complete a sacrifice for him. If the sacrifice was successful, he would notTake my life."

But what about the result of the failed sacrifice?

Su Mu didn't make any promises, and Qing Ying didn't add fuel to the picture, but just stated objectively, and she believed that Xie Qingci could be understood.

She is not panicking at all now, she is simply full of confidence.

As expected of a senior brother, he is reliable in handling affairs.

The dust cleared, and Su Mu, who was kicked into the air, managed to stabilize his figure. He straightened up, his red clothes were wrinkled in many places, and he looked a little embarrassed.

Su Mu couldn't believe it: "How did you find this place so quickly?"

He was not surprised that Xie Qingci was able to quickly find out that Qing Ying was missing, but it was unbelievable that he came to the door so quickly.

As long as his technique of concealing his whereabouts is used in Tiansheng City, it can be said to be seamless. Even if this person is a cultivator in the Transcending Tribulation Period, it will be absolutely difficult for him to catch up so quickly.

He stared at Xie Qingci closely, as if waiting for an answer.

Xie Qingci said calmly: "It's just death, why bother?"

I saw that his sword edge was calm, as ethereal and ethereal as a gap between a thunderbolt, but swift and incomparable like a thunderclap.

This sword is rushing to kill!

Su Mu has never seen such a sword cultivator who doesn't talk too much. He couldn't help but pay attention to the spiritual pressure from Xie Qingci.

Su Mu's expression was condensed, the jade crown split open with a "bang", the bundled black hair flew in all directions, and the thick spiritual power surged around him around him.

"I just wanted to borrow someone to use, but since you are no different from ordinary people, then—"

Xie Qingci's sword energy interrupted his speech.

Su Mu didn't care about his demeanor, he dodged the sword that locked his throat in embarrassment.

So strong!

His heart is awe-inspiring.

He had already seen that the blindfolded sword cultivator had an extraordinary bearing, not like ordinary people, and he had never underestimated the other party from the beginning to the end, but now he knew that the other party was only stronger than he thought in a face-to-face confrontation!

He is also well-informed, in Su Mu's knowledge, with the help of magic weapons, the Tiansheng City City Lord who has enough time to cross the catastrophe is already very strong, but even if he is, he will not be the opponent of this blindfolded sword cultivator!

Wait...Xie Qingci...

"You are Xie Qingci from the ancient sword sect!? The wanted chief? Crossing the robbery in half a step?!" Su Mu blurted out.

Qing Ying, who was helping out next to him, heard this sentence and immediately clarified: "Senior Brother has long since left Guigu Sword Sect, so don't get involved."

Senior brother suffered from poor expression in the past.

She can't let her senior brother make the same mistakes in the future, so as long as there is a misunderstanding, she will never spend the night clarifying it on the spot, so as to avoid getting a little bit of bad luck.

But Su Mu didn't listen to Qing Ying's words at all.

It turns out that the blindfolded sword cultivator in front of him is the number one genius in the Three Realms, a fallen cultivator who went mad when he broke through the tribulation, no wonder he has such a cultivation level!

Su Mu made up his mind, and opened his mouth to spit out a ball of green and soft fluorescent essence. The spiritual light naturally evaporated and spread, turning into an enchantment to cover Xie Qingci, and under the latter's incomparably powerful attack, he actually stood strong.

But the green essence was obviously also very important to Su Mu. After spitting it out, his face became more than a little pale, and he even vomited blood.

But it is enough to block Xie Qingci for a short time, and this momentary gap is a great opportunity to hold her hostage!

Qing Ying reacted quickly, she was ready to run away without Xie Qingci reminding her, but——

Su Mu didn't take the opportunity to hold her hostage.

He stood where he was and said: "Thank you, fellow daoist, please be safe and don't be impatient. I really wanted to have a peaceful conversation with you, and that's why I made such a bad move. I don't want to attack Miss Qing Ying."

"Returning to the ancient Sword Sect's so-called righteous way, it is actually the most hypocritical. I also feel that it is unfair to treat fellow Daoist Xie like that before."

Qing Ying said in her heart, this is quite human.

She also felt that Guigu Sword Sect was rotten.

It seems that after Su Mu knew the identity of the senior brother, he wanted to cooperate in something... No, it was not in vain that she and the senior sister had made such a big deal, and finally paid back the senior brother Qingyu.

Su Mu's words were extremely provocative: "Since you and I hate this world as much, why not join hands and start from this Tiansheng City to turn the world upside down! From now on, you will be the Daoist, and I will be the Demon Lord, and the world will be divided into two!"

Qing Ying:??

Good fellow, the matter of senior brother's injustice has not even reached this person's ears. Su Mu thinks that Xie Qingci has completely depraved, so he wants to join forces?

With many magic weapons to protect her body, Qing Ying is not afraid of Su Mu.

She immediately said: "The truth about my senior brother has long been known. You are too slow in the network today, and you don't know the latest news at all? My senior brother is innocent, but the couple in charge colluded to frame him."

When she clarified, Xie Qingci also split the Su Mu barrier with a sword.

Su Mu vomited blood "Wow", and suffered severe backlash again. Xie Qingci's strength was far beyond his imagination.

The black-haired, red-clothed boy's face was constantly changing. He was originally very handsome, but because of the extreme hatred at the moment, he looked mean and sharp.

"Righteous way, right way...you are the right way, am I the evil way?! I haven't killed a single person in five hundred years! Why don't you care about the people who have committed countless evils! Why are you coming to kill me now!"

Xie Qingci said calmly: "Yan Wang will decide for you."

The senior brother is only responsible for sending him to see Hades.

Su Mu knew that the situation was over, he only hated himself for making a mistake and insisting on provoking Qing Ying.

Why is a strong man like Xie Qingci always on the "right way" and "punishing evil and promoting good"!

He no longer resisted needlessly, only a voice full of hatred squeezed out from his throat: "The way of heaven has no eyes, the way of heaven is ridiculous!"

What a heavy grievance!

If the grief and indignation of the beautiful boy had any substance, it was so desolate that no matter who heard it, they couldn't help but be moved.

Is there really a story about him?

Qing Ying was a little shaken, and Xie Qingci's sword that was about to fall could barely stop.

Does the senior brother also feel that he has been wronged?

Xie Qingci's sword touched Su Mu's throat, and said coldly: "Your days are up, you should have died long ago, and now you are wandering around in the world, killing innocent people, but you still want to talk nonsense about the way of heaven."

After the meeting, it was the first time that Su Mu saw Xie Qing speak so many words.

It's the same old preaching.

He didn't care about Jianfeng at all, covered his face with a smile and said: "The way of heaven has fallen for tens of thousands of years, and evil spirits are rampant in this world. Evil creatures in human skin, people with evil hearts... Isn't it common?"

The more Su Mu said, the more furious he became: "I've wandered around the world for five hundred years, but I haven't killed a single person. The owner of Tiansheng City is only 30 years old, and there are countless dead souls under his command. Who deserves to die, me or him?"

Xie Qingci was slightly silent.

Clang!

He sheathed his sword.

Brother judged that Su Mu was telling the truth?

Qing Ying silently looked at the five-hundred-year-old "boy" and felt that the age in the cultivation world was really unbelievable.

Xie Qingci asked, "Where are the other women you deceived?"

Seeing that the situation seemed to be turning around, Su Mu made a decisive decision and immediately changed his face: "Please help me complete the ceremony, and I will send them back intact. And you need Holy Farmer Wood, right? As long as you can help me, I can send Holy Farmer Wood back to you."Wood seeds, fruits, and essences are all given to you!"

"I have also collected some rare treasures in the past five hundred years, and I can offer them all."

His sudden transition from full of resentment to humiliation is breathtaking.

He was beaten up by Xie Qingci just now, but as long as he can complete the ceremony, he doesn't care about the so-called face at all.

Moreover, Su Mu's identity seemed even more strange at the moment.

Qing Ying frowned in thought.

Su Mu.

divine wood.

And he is confident that he can come up with so many divine wood related things, could it be...

Qing Ying was worried that Xie Qingci would be at a disadvantage, so she immediately opened her mouth to break into the topic.

"But we still don't know why you insist on this ceremony? And whether you are really that innocent. Listening to what you said before, you are so hostile to the world and have suffered a lot of injustice. There must be evidence."

"If you encounter unfairness, I am willing to help you as much as I can, but I hope you will not hide it."

She and her senior brother have suffered the pain of being misunderstood by the Quartet, so she is willing to help.

But this goodwill is by no means unconditional.

Qing Ying looked at Su Mu frankly: "I am talking with you very sincerely now, and I hope you can respond to me with the same frankness."

The girl's eyes were clear and her words were sincere.

How similar to her...

"I just want to see her again." Su Mu said softly, "but her soul has been lost in the world for a long time. If she wants to summon her soul, she needs to be accompanied by ninety-nine women with the same birthday and a woman with the same fate as the [accompanying] woman."Li Zhu], as a container for her return to her soul."

"I only have a few words with her, and I won't make any more entanglements."

"She hates killing... I won't kill."

Qing Ying immediately asked: "Who is she?"

"I don't know, I only saw her in my dream, she was crying, begging me to find her, save her...I must save her!"

Qing Ying wondered: "Don't you know anything about her?"

If it's just a person in a dream, how can you be so persistent?

Su Mu insisted: "She is my bride, and I want to fulfill my marriage contract with her."

The black-haired and red-clothed boy had gloomy eyebrows and eyes, and the sadness and fragility revealed was unbearable to touch.

Fortunately, Qing Ying's thoughts were still clear and she was not carried away by Su Mu's emotions.

——Perhaps this is the dignity and self-restraint of a married woman.

The beautiful young man is so pitiful, what does it have to do with her?

Qing Ying changed the angle: "Then who are you? What happened to you?"

"……I have no idea."

Su Mu lowered his face: "After I woke up, I wandered around Tiansheng City to prepare for the ceremony."

"According to what you said, you did a lot of bad things because she wandered around the world for five hundred years, but because she didn't like to kill, you didn't kill anyone, right?"

"Ok."

"What about the evidence? It's been five hundred years, so there must be some clues."

"As for the evidence." Su Mu looked sad, "I have no evidence, they destroyed everything."

Except for a cavity of sadness and blind cultivation, he couldn't come up with anything convincing.

But after meeting Xie Qingci, even this level of cultivation can be ignored.

Isn't that embarrassing...

Qing Ying really wanted to sympathize with Su Mu, but it was empty - he couldn't even explain what happened to him.

Qing Ying found it ridiculous: "You hate the world, don't you know what happened to you?"

Su Mu was dumbfounded by her question: "In short, the people in Tiansheng City are not good people, especially the Lord of Tiansheng City, and the Taoist priests of Shennong Temple!"

"Why?"

"Hate for them runs deep in my bones, I was born knowing they deserved to die!"

...

Qing Ying was gone.

"Brother, what do you mean?"

Xie Qingci said: "Go to Shennong Temple to have a look, maybe there is a clue."

Qing Ying was slightly startled, and then decisively agreed: "Okay."

According to what she knew about Xie Qingci, he could do this because he had a strong clue.

"Thank you for your help, thank you both!"

Su Mu didn't expect the will to be bright, so he thanked him repeatedly.

Qing Ying couldn't bear to see his confusion: "Don't thank us too much, remember it yourself, sort it out clearly, where is your grievance? Who are you looking for?"

"Oh."

Letting go of his hostility at this moment, Su Mu finally showed his true temperament.

Qing Ying couldn't help muttering in her heart, this person seems to be a young man with a powerful aura, but how could he be so foolish?

Oh, forgot he was five hundred years old.

Moreover, if her conjecture is true... she will indeed be not very smart if she has a dull head.

Su Mu said that he hates everything in Tiansheng City, but if he hates the most, it has to be the owner of Tiansheng City and Shennong Miao Zhu.

"The filth and filth in the Shennong Temple is not my business. According to the standard of righteousness, I should die ten thousand times."

Qing Ying questioned her soul: "Did you do nothing in the past five hundred years?"

Su Mu was silent for a moment.

Tsk.

Maybe Qing Ying's subtle expression made him a little sensitive, Su Mu said: "I'm not such a kind person who sacrifices myself for others, I just want to see her."

Qing Ying couldn't help but looked at Xie Qingci suspiciously.

This person's three outlooks don't sound right, and the only advantage in his whole body may be honesty-speaking of what comes to mind, without hiding anything.

Is such a person really a vulnerable group in need of help?

Xie Qingci said softly: "Focus, don't chat."

Seeing his serious attitude, Qing Ying and the two stopped interrupting.

However, this attitude is actually a kind of affirmation.

Qing Ying was really curious, what exactly did the senior brother discover, so she was willing to follow the sumu tree.What else can't be told to her immediately?

If people who don't know this see it, they might think that the person who was bewitched by Su Mumei's appearance is Xie Qingci.

——Who on earth was still eating sumac vinegar not long ago?

In silence, the three returned to the place where they met, in front of the seemingly empty Shennong Temple.

"Right here."

Shennong Temple seems to be a large temple with a very standard and regular structure. The temple door is open, and it seems that people are not prohibited from entering.

Qing Ying listened intently, the temple was extremely quiet, not to mention the pilgrims, not even the voice of the Taoist priests could be heard.

"Is there no one?"

Xie Qingci said: "This place is covered by an enchantment, from the outside you can't find anything, you need to go in."

Qing Ying asked Su Mu: "Does it usually defend itself like this with a barrier?"

"Of course not. Shennong Temple is the largest temple in Tiansheng City. It has a high status. There are about a thousand Taoist priests, and there are no less than forty people who are at the Jindan stage and above. The place is usually full of incense. It's just that the security has suddenly become stricter recently."

Su Mu briefly introduced the origin of Shennong Temple: "Shennong Temple mainly worships Shennong and Holy Farmer Wood, hosts many large-scale ceremonies in Tiansheng City, and also manages Tiansheng City's wind and rain weather.In name only."

After all, if Baicao dies, it doesn't make sense to have a good weather.

Su Mu spread his hands: "The above are their ostensible duties. In secret, they have resorted to all means to awaken the divine wood. For example, what they value most is robbing young children, extracting their wisdom roots and spirituality, and refining them."

"I save those young children as much as I can, but there are also those who are helpless. In the past five hundred years, the lives of young children swallowed by Tiansheng City are beyond measure."

Just this one crime is already heinous. Looking at this majestic and ethereal temple, who would have thought that it would be so filthy?

Qing Ying said cautiously: "Go and investigate first."

With Xie Qingci present, they were not disturbed by the enchantment of Shennong Temple, but the black-haired sword cultivator stepped forward and tapped the void with his fingertips.

Shallow ripples as if a stone fell into a lake.

Xie Qing said: "Follow me."

The three of them calmly entered the Shennong Temple without alarming any defenses.

Entering the inside of the enchantment, only to find that there is a hole in the sky.

The inside of Shennong Temple is not full of people, but occasionally people can hear conversations, coupled with the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers, the environment is as quiet and peaceful as a normal temple... the fragrance of flowers?!

In the Shennong Temple, there are many potted flowers and plants, and pines and cypresses are planted, which is incompatible with the environment of Tiansheng City.

"The incense of Shennong Temple has been prosperous for thousands of years, and the Great Elder has always been the confidant of the Tiansheng City City Lord. This is the key."

The green color that has not faded here for five hundred years gave them confidence.

Suddenly there was a conversation in the distance.

"Hurry up, if there is a delay, the blood food will not be fresh and the Great Elder will be angry, and we both will die!" a man scolded in a low voice.

"Here we come." The other person's voice sounded more immature, and he hurriedly followed, "Senior Brother Du, today's presiding elder, could it be...?"

The two raised their feet and turned a corner, and entered a closed long corridor. There was no one around, and they spoke more boldly.

"The third elder has very strict requirements on blood food, and he wakes up the divine wood every time, so this time, he is always in charge of the Shengnongfu seedlings. Do you understand?"

"Understood, I understand, thank you Senior Brother Du for reminding me."

Qing Ying stood silently on the roof, frowning.

blood food.

It sounds grim.

It's livestock, okay...

"Why can't people be escorted over and killed immediately? Isn't the flesh and blood taken out like that the freshest?" The younger brother of the two was puzzled.

"Speak carefully!" Senior Brother Du immediately scolded, "This is the main hall of the temple, a solemn place, how can you do anything reckless!"

Inhuman things, both of them should be damned!

Their concept is the same as that of Qiu Yimeng, they both treat living people as objects, and they take what they give and take what they take away.

The two disciples didn't know that they were being targeted. They had already reached the guard's place, so they shut up sensible and stopped talking.They passed many checkpoints smoothly as usual and came to the apse of Shennong Temple.

A disciple who was obviously dressed more advanced scolded: "Why are you here so late? The third elder has urged you once!"

The faces of the two of them paled instantly.

The senior disciple didn't have time to listen to their defense, so he said decisively, "Go down and receive the punishment yourself."

"Yes!" The two retreated gratefully.

Only then did the senior disciple take the tray with a serious expression, and quickly walked to a boundary gate, and his figure disappeared instantly.

Su Mu said: "This gate leads to the root of Holy Farmer Wood?"

"No. It leads out of the city."

outside the city?

Su Mu asked: "Then we lost track?"

The speed of Jiemen is faster than any instant body technique, and a thousand miles is only in one thought.

But who would have thought that Shennong Temple would disguise the Jiemen as the back door of the temple?

Xie Qingci said: "They are trying to make people think that they are re-breeding divine wood at the old site of Holy Farmer Wood."

"Anyway, now that I say that Shennong Temple does not do good things, you should believe it? Can you help me complete the ceremony?"

Qing Ying couldn't help it: "They have killed so many children, and now there may be children who need to be rescued urgently. Do you think it's appropriate to let go?"

If this continues, she really wants to doubt whether Su Mu has saved anyone in the past five hundred years.

Su Mu was at a loss for words, and his voice was softer: "I didn't say no to help..."

In the end, after learning that Su Mu could feel the birth of divine wood and that he could catch up with the three elders at any time through magical powers, they decided to search in the temple first to rescue the surviving child.

Perhaps stimulated by Qing Ying's moral condemnation from time to time, Su Mu finally acted positively, trying to prove that he was not such a rubbish scum of character.

He took the initiative: "I feel where those children are, follow me."

Now that you have made a decision, stop thinking about other chores.The hesitation that had always haunted him faded between Su Mu's brows, the young man looked sharp and determined, and drew out the jade sword first.

"Under the secret room in the side hall!"

"boom!"

Qiu's other courtyard.

"Moved!"

Xie Tian, who was meditating, was suddenly awakened by the old man's voice.

He was about to scold him angrily, so the sudden sound could easily irritate him, and if he was not careful, he would end up in a state of madness and his spiritual power would flow backwards.

However, the old man's next sentence made him shut up.

"Tiansheng City's momentum has changed! So that's it, that's it, the change of Xie Qingci is here!"

Xie Tian immediately cared: "What is Xie Qingci doing?"

"I'm doing a great deed." The old man said with a smile.

But the tone sounds like a yin and yang.

"Say it quickly, don't be tricky."

The old man sneered: "The ultimate goal of Xie Qingci's calamity is to prove the way of heaven and restore the law of heaven in the world."

"Yes, so?"

"And every time he goes through calamity, he must collect a ray of pure heaven and earth righteousness, and only then will he usher in the final calamity."

Xie Qingci's last calamity in this life was that he had accumulated enough merits and virtues, so the calamity came, but he couldn't get through it in the end.

"Isn't that good for him?"

"Xie Qingci's life is a love calamity. He loves that little girl. Tsk, old acquaintances will say it's outrageous."

"It's just a woman, how else can I use it?"

Can a woman compare to the love of flesh and blood?

Xie Tian didn't think there was any good use of liking women. Xie Qingci suffered from his parents' loss, so how could he be fooled again.

"Stupid child, Xie Qingci's last calamity was due to his own desire to prove the Dao and ascend, and he just pushed the boat along the way. Do you think he can't see what your parents are thinking?"

Xie Tian was so scolded that he couldn't hold back his face: "He can see it this time?"

"So what if you can see it? You don't understand." The old man sneered, "You don't know how terrifying love is, enough to make the rational man blind and irritable, and the kind man furious and hateful. Especially the little girl is sincere to him and shares weal and woe...This is much easier than your parents."

The more he talked, the more satisfied he became.

"Xie Qingci's first calamity is here, and the last calamity is also here, there is God's will in the dark!"

"So what do you mean?"

"Push Xie Qingci to pass the Tiansheng City matter, gain destiny, kill that little girl, and make him fall in love!"

The old man felt that the nightmare aura of Tianxuan City was related to Xie Qingci, so he asked Xie Tian to stay here for a few more days to wait for changes, and now he can be regarded as waiting.

Xie Tian was dubious: "If you kill Qing Ying, will his love disaster come?"

"Yes, let that girl die as miserable as possible, preferably in front of him! How do you think Tiansheng City's nightmare power came from?"

"It's the ten thousand-year-old divine wood that fell in love!"

"But in the end, what did it leave behind? A bunch of dead leaves living in the chaos of the world."

"Okay, old man, how do you know so well?"

The old man chuckled: "Why do you think the divine wood withered five hundred years ago? Where did the enduring power of Tiansheng City come from?"

Xie Tian was finally convinced: "Amazing!"

But he was thinking in his heart that the old man's layout was far beyond his imagination, and his strength should not be underestimated in the future.

Xie Tian pretended to be unintentional and said: "Then five hundred years ago, old man, you did this job yourself?"

"Naturally, it was my representative at that time."

The old man's tone became more and more amiable: "Speaking of which, that kid's talent is higher than yours, but his brain turns too fast and he is not very obedient."

"So in the end he died earlier."

"Well...he was only in his twenties at that time, right?"

Xie Tian felt awe-inspiring.

The old man smiled and said: "Tian'er, you are much more sensible than him. I will never let you die so early. Don't worry, kill Qing Ying, and we will be ashamed for both of us!"
