Qu Weiyin lowered her head and walked quickly past Luo Jinxiao without saying anything.
Luo Jinxiao patted Qiongqi's head, and the man and the beast followed with big strides. Qu Weiyin looked a little tired, and said nothing, seeming to be thinking about something in his heart.
Luo Jinxiao was also tactful and stopped making noise.
Soon, the sun set in the west, and the days in autumn were obviously much shorter. The sky turned red and it took only a blink of an eye for the night to fall. Soon, there were only a few people left on the street, and they were all running fast.
The surroundings became increasingly quiet. A little boy holding a candied haws stick seemed to have lost his family. He was running along the road, crying loudly and stumbling.
At some point, a dark shadow appeared behind him, floating like smoke but lingering for a long time.
The boy didn't notice anything unusual at all. He continued crying and calling for his parents.
He turned a corner and walked into a dark alley. He seemed even more frightened and his footsteps became more hurried.
The speed of the black shadow suddenly increased, getting closer and closer, and finally, with the sound of wind, the black shadow suddenly pounced on the boy's back. At the same time, a flash of fire appeared, and the red sword rose and fell, cutting off a corner of the black shadow. A sticky black liquid gushed out, and a shrill cry that did not sound like a human was heard, which made people's gums ache.
Luo Jinxiao covered his ears with one hand and picked up the black shadow with the other hand. He shook it in his hand and said, "What is this thing? Why does it look like cotton?"
Qu Weiyin bent down and helped the crying boy up, and took a sideways look at him: "Demon seeds are demonic energy that has not yet transformed."
Hearing this, Luo Jinxiao threw the black shadow far away with a look of disgust, then wiped her hands on her skirt and said with a pursed mouth, "Can the devil's energy also take shape? How ugly would this thing be if it became a human?"
Qu Weiyin's lips curled up.
A few more people came running from the other end of the alley. When the boy saw them, he ran over crying. The people found the child, picked up the boy and ran away without saying a word. After a while, they disappeared.
Luo Jinxiao stood on tiptoe and looked at him, muttering, "Why don't you say thank you?"
Qu Weiyin stretched out his hand and flicked her forehead, then raised his chin slightly, pointed at the black shadow crawling on the ground, and whispered, "Shut up and follow it."
Luo Jinxiao covered his head, said "oh", and followed the black shadow quietly.
The black shadow was crawling very slowly, and from a distance it looked like a giant reptile. Luo Jinxiao held his breath, fearing that it would disappear if he wasn't paying attention.
After turning two corners, the speed of the black shadow gradually increased, and finally, with bursts of demonic energy, it crawled into a dilapidated abandoned hut. The door of the house was incomplete, and the stone steps at the entrance were covered with thick moss, looking dirty in the night.
Luo Jinxiao walked forward cautiously, but was stopped by Qu Weiyin.
"Be careful, walk behind me." Qu Weiyin said, dragging her behind her.
"There is an entrance to the demon world here." Qu Weiyin whispered, and then bursts of spiritual power surged out from his palms. The golden spiritual power slowly enveloped the two of them, concealing their breath.
The room was so dark that one could not see one's hand in front of one's face. There was no idea what kind of danger was hidden in the darkness. Luo Jinxiao could not help but reached out and grabbed Qu Weiyin's wrist.
Qu Weiyin's movements paused slightly, but she did not dodge, and then she slowly walked forward.
She sensed the path that the demon had just taken, and walked to the corner of the hut step by step. She paused for a moment, and suddenly said, "Hold on tight. If you get lost later, I won't look for you."
"Yes." Luo Jinxiao said, and moved his palm down, wrapping her soft hand in his palm.
Qu Weiyin's hands suddenly broke out in sweat. She frowned and turned back, looking at Luo Jinxiao reproachfully in the dim light coming in from the door.
Luo Jinxiao, on the other hand, had an innocent look on her face. She held Qu Weiyin's hand tighter and said with a smile, "My junior master told me to hold on tight."
Qu Weiyin opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say, and in the end she had to let her go. Luo Jinxiao was led forward by her, but she didn't dare to squeeze too hard, because Qu Weiyin's hands were so soft. The beauty's hands were indeed flawless, she thought to herself.
The two walked in the darkness for a long time, and Luo Jinxiao realized that this small house could not be that big, and the road they were walking on must no longer be a road.
The ground feels very hard underfoot, with occasional bumps, like a desert desert covered with gravel.
Light gradually appeared in front of her eyes. Luo Jinxiao hurriedly looked around. Her guess was right. They were indeed in the Gobi Desert. However, unlike the Gobi Desert in the human world, this place was full of red gravel and sand. From afar, the sky was also red.
Although I don’t know if the thing above my head can be called the sky.
"You can let go now." Qu Weiyin said suddenly.
Luo Jinxiao then realized that he was still holding Qu Weiyin tightly, so he quickly let go, put his hands behind his back, and coughed twice in embarrassment.
"Is this the demon world?" Luo Jinxiao looked around with an inexperienced look.
"I guess so." Qu Weiyin nodded. She walked on the desert as if it were flat ground, easily bypassing the gravel and sand dunes that tripped her up.
"There is a place where monsters gather ahead. The barrier on my body can't hold out for long. You must follow me closely. If they find out that someone has broken in, it will be troublesome." Qu Weiyin said.
She has demonic energy in her body, although not much, but it can at least hide her identity.
Luo Jinxiao nodded. She looked at Qu Weiyin with eyes full of admiration and said enviously, "Little Master is really amazing."
Hearing this, Qu Weiyin looked at her in surprise and chuckled helplessly: "What's so great about being able to hide in the demon world?"
"If I weren't so weak, I wouldn't need Junior Master to worry about everything." Luo Jinxiao said half-jokingly, half-seriously.
Qu Weiyin walked away indifferently for a while, then said in a very low voice: "Becoming stronger always comes at a price. Now I hope you will continue like this."
The howling sandstorm in the Gobi Desert soon blew away her voice, and by the time it reached Luo Jinxiao's ears, there was little left of it.
Qu Weiyin didn't say anything else. The further they moved forward, the heavier the wind and sand became. Everything in front of them was a yellow haze, and they could only see things within their arm's length. But soon, a tall tower rose from the ground in the wind and sand, looming in the wind. Luo Jinxiao had to look up desperately to see a small lamp hanging on the top of the tower.
As the two approached, the full view of the tower finally appeared. It had more than ten floors, and the walls had long been eroded by wind and sand. There was not a single window, and it looked like a huge prison.
However, in such a strong wind, it is still as steady as a rock.
"Should we go in?" Luo Jinxiao asked loudly. As soon as he opened his mouth, he swallowed a mouthful of sand and quickly bent down to spit it out.
Qu Weiyin nodded. She looked at Luo Jinxiao's miserable condition, raised her hand and summoned an umbrella to shield her from the wind and sand.
"There is a demon guarding the door. You are full of the aura of an immortal cultivator, so you can't go in." Qu Weiyin stopped and turned back.
Luo Jinxiao stopped panting. She wiped her face roughly to get rid of the dust, wrinkled her nose and thought for a while, then reached into her purse and took out the Qiongqi.
"Have you learned how to transform into a human now?" she asked loudly.
Qiongqi blinked, a white light flashed, and the girl appeared in front of her, grinning foolishly.
"That's great." Luo Jinxiao spat out another mouthful of sand. She was now eager to find a place to hide, so she took off the purse around her waist with great effort and hung it around Qu Weiyin's waist. Then she turned into a ray of silver light, took the seat of Qiongqi, and got into the purse.
Qu Weiyin's eyelids trembled slightly, and she sighed helplessly. But this was also a good idea, because she had lived for so many years and had never seen anyone willing to stay in a purse.
But she suddenly remembered that she had turned into Qiongqi and her face turned red.
"Follow me." She said to Qiongqi.
There were indeed two people guarding the tower. They were both wearing headscarves to block the wind and sand, so their faces could not be seen clearly. They put their hands on Qu Weiyin and Qiongqi's shoulders and checked them out. They found nothing unusual. They only felt that there was very little demonic energy on Qu Weiyin, while the girl, who looked to be only in her early teens, had a powerful and terrifying murderous aura.
The two of them were surprised for a moment, thinking that some important person had arrived, and respectfully invited Qiongqi in.
The tower was very spacious, with the ground littered with dead bones and garbage, emitting a foul smell. There were unformed demon species wriggling, and some demons wrapped in rags staggering along.
Occasionally, some weak ones would break in through the door, and all the things on their bodies would be snatched away. There were also demons setting up stalls in the tower to barter for some necessary things.
It was so noisy, just like a beggar pile in the human world.
Qu Weiyin had rarely seen such scenes in her previous life. She was a little surprised, but she also understood. The demon world is now in decline, and there are only a few demons left. This place is not the center of the world, so it is not surprising that such a situation occurs.
Some of them were foolish enough to rush forward and attack, but were soon frightened by Qiongqi and fled in all directions.
Maybe because Luo Jinxiao was not there, Qiongqi stopped playing and followed Qu Weiyin obediently all the way, slowly climbing up the tower. The scene was like this on every floor, but the higher they went, the more respectable the demons walking around on the ground were, and there were fewer of them, until the top floor, which was empty.
Qu Weiyin walked around the narrow space and found a small door. The door was wrapped with light blue copper wire. If you accidentally touched it, you would be electrocuted to death.
Seeing that there was no danger for the time being, Qu Weiyin reached into her purse and called Luo Jinxiao out.
Luo Jinxiao had been stuck in there for a long time. As soon as she stepped onto the ground, she wanted to speak, but Qu Weiyin immediately covered her mouth with her hand. She raised her eyes, frowned, and shook her head gently.
Luo Jinxiao looked down at her, and his heart suddenly swelled, as if it was stuffed with a large piece of cotton, soft and itchy.
She stared at Qu Weiyin's face and couldn't help but be distracted again.
Qu Weiyin stretched out a white and tender finger, pointed at the small door, then pointed at Luo Jinxiao's forehead, and used her spiritual power to transmit her voice: "There's someone inside."
By delivering the message in this way, their spiritual power will not be detected.
Luo Jinxiao imitated her and tapped her forehead, but because she was taller, the action sounded more like a gentle tease.
"Are you from Wuhui Sect?" she asked.
Qu Weiyin seemed to realize the ambiguous meaning of this action. Her cheeks blushed slightly, and she turned and walked away, nodding indifferently, then shaking her head.
Luo Jinxiao immediately understood what she meant. In addition to the disciples of Wuhui Sect, there were other people in this sect.
Qu Weiyin walked to the door, spread out her slender five fingers, and light golden spiritual power surged out. The copper wire wrapped around the door quickly melted into a flickering blue light and disappeared.
Just as Qu Weiyin raised her leg to go in, she was stopped by Luo Jinxiao.
Luo Jinxiao took her wrist with one hand and touched her palm with the other hand. Her fingertips felt slightly cool, like dew under the night sky, refreshing to the touch.
"Uncle Junior, you stay outside the door, I'll go in."
Qu Weiyin frowned and wanted to refuse, but Luo Jinxiao pressed down her raised hand, smiled again, and thought of jokingly, tapping her cheek lightly: "You are awesome, you have to protect me outside the door."
Then, without waiting for Qu Weiyin to reply, she lowered her head and quickly went into the door. w ,Please remember:,
