Compared with the Demon Realm, the Demon Realm is even more beautiful.

The sky in the Demon Realm seems to be covered with ink all the year round, impenetrable to the sky. The branches are withered, the flowers and plants are withered, except for the black shadows of monsters, there are almost no other sounds.

Some places in this demon world are also similar to the human world. There are taverns, shops, and monsters in human form. Recently, all the monsters gather in the tavern, and the most discussed topic is the dark sky.

Of course, the sky in the Demon Realm is not like this every year. It has also been as blue as the sea and filled with white clouds. The flowers and plants in the Demon Realm are not born withered. A month ago, they were as crisp and tender as new, and the flowers bloomed luxuriantly. And the reason why the demon world has become so dark recently is that the demon lord is in a bad mood.

It should have been an exciting thing that the Demon Lord, who the demons had been waiting for for thousands of years, finally woke up and returned to the Demon Realm. But since the day when the Demon Lord came back, the demons began to worry that the Demon Lord would sweep the Demon Realm before leading them to sweep the Six Realms.

"I heard that the Demon Lord brought a woman's body from the human world. Tsk tsk, hold it in his hands and never leave it. Anyone who dares to approach it will surely die!" The horse-faced monster drank a big mouthful of wine, and lowered his voice mysteriously.

When the tiger-headed monster heard it, it roared: "Nonsense! Then there is no corpse. Although it has no breath, it clearly has a soul!"

"It's just a remnant soul that was forced into the body by the demon king. If you can't survive, what's the difference from being dead?" The horse-faced monster objected.

"A hero is too sad for a beauty!" The tiger-headed monster sighed, "It seems that the demon king entered the demon world because of a woman?"

"That's not it!" The horse-faced monster was shocked when he said this, and said with great interest, "My grandfather was a little leader in the demon world back then, and he only said that the demonic aura of the god world was overwhelming the mountains and rivers that day, and the demon king summoned everyone Demons, all the demons bowed their heads and swept the God Realm overnight! Think about it, the gods in the Nine Heavens are afraid of the Demon Lord, how powerful our Demon Lord is!"

The tiger-headed monster shook his head when he heard it, and suddenly said: "What does this have to do with women?"

The horse-faced monster patted him on the shoulder, "You don't know that, do you? The demon king once occupied the position of gods, but the group of gods beat the woman on his heart to death. Now, that's the only one left Hun's corpse, the Demon Lord is probably trying to figure out how to bring her back to life."

"Nonsense! A while ago, that woman was still alive! You have never seen the devil fall for that woman with your own eyes, let alone the woman's appearance. How do you know that this woman is the woman from ten thousand years ago?"

"It's not easy!" The horse-faced demon said triumphantly, "You can guess it! That's how all operas are performed!"

The tiger-headed monster glared at him, then shook his head and sighed, "I don't know when the sky will be visible..."

A deep house in the Demon Realm, filled with black mist, hazy light and shadow, and a hundred miles around is quiet and uninhabited.

There is a rattan chair in the courtyard of the house, the width of two people, a woman is lying on the chair, and a man is sitting on it.

The woman's head was resting on the man's lap, as if falling into a deep sleep. The man was dressed in black and almost blended into the night, only his eyes were shiny and clear. He lowered his head slightly, his black hair drooped, covering the scattered eyes, and put one hand on the back of the woman's head, as if he was afraid that she would not sleep well enough, so he caressed her carefully with the other hand. long hair.

A picture lantern was lit not far away, and the woman in the picture smiled sweetly, perhaps because of the candlelight, her complexion was bright and her eyes flickered. Beside the lantern, white light and shadow circled around. Immediately, the deep house seemed to wake up from a deep sleep, and a silver bell-like laughter sounded: "Hehe...you painted Lingxi so beautifully."

As soon as the laughter stopped, the courtyard fell into silence again. Chen Xi dragged her white tail and swayed to the woman's side, circling her body in a circle, "Why hasn't Lingxi woke up? She has been sleeping for a month, so hurry up and get her up to talk to me." good?"

The man remained motionless, still carefully stroking the woman's long hair again and again, as if time stood still and everything perishes, only the two of them.

"When were you by her side?" Nan Zhi suddenly asked after being silent for an unknown amount of time.

Chen Xi paused in the air, "Well... when you were in Beijing? It seems that you were not there the night I went to look for Lingxi."

"Why did you go to her?" Nan Zhi's voice was as cold as ever.

"Hehe... She has that drop of water on her body that attracts me, I still miss her, hehe..." Chen Xi draws circles in the air again, circling around very comfortably, "But she let me obediently stay in the soul balm bead, I Just listen to her, giggling..."

Nan Zhi was silent again, before asking after a long time: "What did she tell you?"

Chenxi walked around to Lingxi's side, rubbed her cheek, "giggled" and said with a smile: "She told me to let me stay inside for a few months. She said she was reluctant to part with Nanzhi, and after a few months she put Nanzhi returned it to me, saying that her only wish was to stay by Nanzhi's side for a few more days."

The night wind was blowing, and it was cold to the bone.

Nanzhi's fingertips seemed to be trembling slightly, the hair was blown across his cheeks by the wind, and stiffened at the corner of his mouth.

Chen Xi continued: "But, who is Nan Zhi... Why did she give Nan Zhi back to me? Heck... Is that you? What do I want you to do? Heck..."

She happened to float up from Lingxi's cheeks, and met Shang Nanzhi's eyes, "Hey... why are your eyes red?"

Nan Zhi didn't answer, but said indifferently: "What wish do you have?"

Chen Xi smiled and walked around twice, "My wish... of course is to be like you, to be able to walk, eat, make friends, and everyone can see me. But now the Soul Requiem Orb is full of broken souls , there is no way to integrate with me, unless there is a silver mirror... "

The night wind stirred up the fallen leaves and rustled them. The candle in the lantern in the picture snorted, the candle light flickered, and the sky darkened a bit.

After Qingkui and Qinglian returned to Cangjia Mountain, they told Cangyu Canghai what happened in the demon world, Cangyu remained silent, and Canghai frowned deeply.

"Feng Su will take care of these matters in the future, so you don't need to ask me."

At the moment the four of them were in Cang Yu's palace, he got up and shook his sleeves, as if to chase them away.

"But big brother..."

Big brother, he doesn't care about anything...

Qing Kui only dared to mutter to himself, the master must understand the heart of the elder brother, but he still insisted on doing so, no matter how dissatisfied he was, he couldn't help it. Feng Su used to be ignorant of everything, and it was rare for him to appear in front of everyone once in tens of hundreds of years. Now that he is reborn after death, he is even more withdrawn than before...

"You guys go back first, the teacher is going to rest." Cang Yu waved his hand.

Qing Kui and Qing Lian looked at each other, and then passed the worried eyes to Cang Hai, Cang Hai raised his beard helplessly, and said: "Brother, after all, Feng Su has never..."

"In the future, all the affairs of Cangjia will be handled by Feng Su, and you can help me out." Cang Yu frowned slightly, and said displeasedly, "Then grab Cang Qu from the wine cellar and help me a little bit. If there is nothing important , don't bother me."

Seeing Cang Yu's resolute attitude, the three of them came out of the hall awkwardly, Qing Kui sighed and said, "I'll go find Master Cang Qu."

Said that Yu Jian had already left, the task of touching that ice cube of senior brother... let's leave it to these two...

Cang Hai said directly: "Qinglian, go to Feng Su and tell me about the demon world, I... I'll go to Dimai Peak to see the disciples I plan to recruit this year..."

Qinglian looked at his back as he left in a hurry, and smiled helplessly.

In Cang Yu's room, a visitor came at this time.

The woman in white had an elegant face, her eyes were cold, she stared at Cang Yu and said slowly: "Shang Donghua has almost become a demon, hiding from the world and living in seclusion. The seniority of the immortals of several major sects is still inexperienced, and they are not good enough. Today's fairy world, in terms of cultivation , in terms of aptitude, in terms of virtue, I'm afraid... the Taoist Master Qingyu should be the leader, right?"

Cang Yu was sitting cross-legged on the couch, and noticed that there was no response from anyone in the room, until the woman finished speaking, he slowly opened his eyes, and whispered: "Lingxi."

Lingxi was startled suddenly, looked at him calmly, and remained silent.

"Are you here to get my true essence?" Cang Yu spoke calmly, as if he had already anticipated Lingxi's intentions.

Lingxi remained silent, staring at Cang Yu with dark eyes, as if trying to see through him.

Cang Yu sighed softly, "Do you still remember what I told you on the eve of my birthday?"

Lingxi lowered her eyes slightly, her voice was not the same as before, and neither was her tone of voice, "Naturally I remember."

"So whatever you want to do, just do it." Cang Yu closed her eyes again, her face was calm, as if she was being slaughtered.

Lingxi looked at him noncommittally, her eyes were broken and confused, and after a long time, she came to her senses and asked, "Have you seen him?"

Cang Yu's eyebrows moved slightly, and he nodded in agreement.

Lingxi's eyes suddenly cooled down, but she stood quietly on the side without making a move.

"If you take the true essence of being a teacher, you can break the seal of the God Realm, open the gate of the God Realm, and die as a teacher." Cang Yu said in a deep voice, "Lingxi, let's do it."

Lingxi stared at him for a moment, and was about to make a seal, but stopped, and finally clenched her hands into fists, and said with a smile: "Since you are so righteous and awe-inspiring, you can hand over your true essence yourself, why do I need to do it myself?" .”

As soon as Lingxi's words fell to the ground, he saw Cang Yu's luck, the temperature in the room rose instantly, Cang Yu's body was covered with a cyan-purple light, and silver-white true energy rose from his abdomen.

On the other side, Qing Kui went to look for Cang Qu. Cang Qu was not on the mountain that weird night, and he just came back the next day reeking of alcohol. He must have stolen wine down the mountain. So, either he was completely unaware of what happened that night, or he knew the whole story.

It's a pity that no matter how he asked him, he always looked like he was drunk in fine wine, and it was no different at this moment.

"Hey, wake up!" Qing Kui has never been too big or small to Cang Qu, and now he pushed him and said, "You really don't know what happened that night in Cangjia Mountain? Or do you know and don't want to talk about it? "

Although Cang Qu loved drinking in the past, he was not as heavy as he was recently, and he was not sober almost all day long.

"If you don't say anything else, I'll smash your wine cellar!" Qing Kui said angrily.

Only then did Cang Qu wake up a little bit, grabbed Qing Kui's sleeve, and said drunkenly: "Yin... er, Yin... Yinjing..."

"Silver mirror? Tell me what's wrong with the silver mirror!" That day, Lingxi's soul was forced out of her body and turned into pieces. Luckily, Qinglian had a silver mirror on her body. Put her pieces into it, otherwise the trouble would not stop. I'm afraid it will be wiped out in ashes! But after that...

Nanzhi stopped the soul-calling technique halfway, and chased after Qinglian. Qinglian threw the silver mirror to him in a hurry. I will go down the mountain to find it in the future.

He didn't want Nan Zhi to even ignore Ling Xi's body, and he wanted to find the silver mirror after the bloodbath of Cang Jia.

At that time, Qing Kui looked at Lingxi's body and felt a stinging pain, everything in the six worlds was nothingness. He could only tell himself that she was just sleeping, and that after dawn, she would wake up again and call him "Senior Brother Qingkui" as before.

However, the body could not be saved, and after Cangjia miraculously came back to life the next day, Silver Mirror was never found again.

Cang Qu blushed drunkenly, and shook his head, "No... you can't say it, brother... you can't say it, brother..."

Qing Kui gritted his teeth, threw off Cang Qu, turned around and rushed towards Cang Yu Palace.

Over there Lingxi was taking Cang Yu's true essence, and saw Cang Yu slowly fell on the couch, the anger on his face gradually disappeared, and he murmured: "Lingxi, as a teacher... I'm sorry..."

She didn't have time to savor the meaning of Cang Yu's "I'm sorry", when she heard the footsteps of someone coming from outside the hall, rushing out of the window.

Qing Kui saw the woman in white jumping out of Cang Yu's room at first sight, and went away in the blink of an eye, and recognized that it was Jing Yan, her heart beat violently, cold sweat broke out from behind her back, and she rushed into the room in a hurry, and saw Cang Yu was lying on the couch, her eyes were slightly open, her lips were pale, and she was already lifeless.

Lingxi carried Cangyu's true essence in her arms, and just after she left Cangjia Mountain, a lazy male voice sounded in her ear: "It really went smoothly unexpectedly."

Lingxi never spoke.

"Sad?"

"People who have no conscience will not be sad."

The male voice chuckled and asked, "Where are you going next?"

"The devil world." Lingxi answered without hesitation.
