If you can't eat grass, you will be eaten

"Is this the crack in the underworld?" Yuan Boya looked at the empty temple and asked, "Why didn't I see anything?"

Qingming also stared at the empty temple and was speechless for a long time. It took him a while to find his voice: "There used to be a crack leading directly to the underworld."

"Once?" Yuan Boya keenly grasped what Qingming wanted to express, "That is to say, there is no more now?"

Qingming's throat was choked up, and the words escaped with difficulty: "The ghost messengers moved very quickly, and they have already sealed it."

Yuan Boya's brows were filled with a grumpy look: "Then how can we find Zhi... Kagura?"

"Abe Seimei!" Before Seimei could reply, an angry voice came from behind them, "You blasphemer dare to set foot on the shrine!"

A ball of flame descended from mid-air, and the bright and vivid colors showed its scorching temperature, even if it got even a little bit of it, it might cause serious burns.Seimei's expression remained unchanged, his feet moved into inches, and Yuan Boya who was at the side was pulled away by a long distance in an instant.

Seeing that Qingming was unharmed, Fenghuanghuo was even more annoyed. A large fireball seemed to be throwing at Qingming desperately. Fenghuanghuo sincerely wanted to kill this guy who blasphemed the noble Phoenix!Densely packed, the sky is full of fiery red color.

Now Abe Seimei can't escape!Looking at the scorching white flames in front of her eyes, the corners of her mouth curled up in a happy arc.

"May I ask why your Excellency called me a 'blasphemer'?" Qingming's steady and cold voice came from the sea of ​​flames, Phoenix Fire's expression changed, and he removed the flames, and immediately found that Qingming had propped up a barrier on the spot.Although the enchantment was small enough to envelop the two of them, it was extremely strong, and even the original fire from her body could not burn through it.

Fenghuanghuo's face was dark, and he gritted his teeth and said bitterly: "Don't you know what you have done?"

Without waiting for Qingming to reply, Fenghuang Huo will continue to say like a cannonball: "Look at the good deeds you have done! How dare you say that the withering of this entire Phoenix Forest has nothing to do with you? How dare you say that the believers here have all left their homes? Irrelevant? You use the divine power left by Lord Phoenix to seal that kind of evil guy, have you obtained Lord Phoenix's consent?"

"I got it." Qingming waved the fan in his hand, and the transparent barrier disappeared silently.

"You..." Fenghuanghuo still wanted to accuse Abe Seimei of his evil deeds, but was choked by his straightforward answer, his mind went blank, and he didn't know what to say next.

Qingming looked up and down the phoenix fire, and then looked at the flames around him that were not completely extinguished. There was a faint familiar aura in the flames——the aura of the fire phoenix.

"You are the fire seed? The fire seed left by the phoenix when it was nirvana? I didn't expect you to be able to cultivate into a demon." Qingming couldn't help but sighed while looking at the fire of the phoenix.

Fenghuanghuo's mind was in a mess. She hated Yuzaoqian who directly destroyed Fenghuang Forest, and she hated Abe Seimei who caused all this even more. If he hadn't sealed the killing stone here, the Phoenix Temple would have always been prosperous, saying Maybe Master Fenghuang will come back because of this.

But now, Abe Seimei told her that Master Fenghuang allowed all of this?

"How, how is it possible! How could Lord Phoenix destroy his own foundation? Without people's will power, even Lord Phoenix would become weak and even disappear! I don't believe what you said!"

Abe Seimei sighed and told the truth to Fenghuanghuo: "You know Yamata no Orochi."

Fenghuanghuo was taken aback, not knowing why Qingming would ask this question, but subconsciously replied: "I know."

Seimei's eyelids drooped slightly, as if he was recalling the events of the past: "There were endless disasters back then. In front of it was Tamamo, who confuses the Emperor, and in the back, there was Yamata no Orochi, which caused troubles. Everyone knows that Yamata no Orochi dominates water and has a cruel temperament. , asking people to offer virgin boys and girls to him every year. But even if people do what it asks, if it fails, it will cause floods and floods.”

"The phoenix is ​​kind. Even if the person who came out of the cloud is not her believer, she still can't see that everyone is living in dire straits, so she resolutely fights Yamata no Orochi. Only the fire phoenix has the strength to fight against it. In the end, Yamata no Orochi was successfully eradicated, but Huo Fenghuang was also seriously injured."

Fenghuanghuo choked up when he heard the words, and retorted hopefully: "It doesn't matter if Master Fenghuang is injured, she has so many followers, and the power of her wish is enough to recover her, not to mention Master Fenghuang can be reborn from nirvana!"

Qingming sighed again: "Phoenix can indeed be reborn from Nirvana, but she did so. But who would have thought that although Yamata no Orochi's body was destroyed, his soul was still lingering, and even part of his soul was injected into the body. Phoenix's body. Phoenix didn't find it at the time, until the time of Nirvana, the soul fragments suddenly attacked, destroyed the ceremony, and finally led to the demise of Phoenix."

"When she was dying, Phoenix sealed the last trace of divine power in this temple, and asked me to seal the killing stone here. The only request is that I help her take good care of her people. Your existence may also be affected by that temple. Wiping the influence of divine power."

Fenghuanghuo staggered, so Master Fenghuang was no longer alive?No wonder, no wonder she only had a vague figure of Master Fenghuang in her memory; no wonder all the believers abandoned the temple not long after she was born...

Fenghuanghuo stumbled away, Qingming asked worriedly: "Are you okay?"

Fenghuang Huo paused on the spot without looking back, his tone was full of exhaustion: "I'm fine." After speaking, he turned into the shape of a phoenix and spread his wings to leave.

Qingming watched her leave, and then said to Yuan Boya, "Let's go."

"Where are you going? Where else is there a crack?" Yuan Boya asked eagerly.

"If cracks in the underworld can be seen everywhere, wouldn't the world be messed up? Let's go first, we can always find a way to reach the underworld."

"Why does this village have such a strong demonic aura?" Han Xiu wondered as he looked at the small village not far away. Could it be a village formed by the demon clan?

"Go and have a look." The little deer man also found it strange that human villages shouldn't have such a strong evil spirit, and it's really strange that monsters don't spontaneously form villages.

As soon as they stepped into the village, the few people felt the unkind eyes of everyone. Although they all had a bit of evil spirit on them, they were indeed human beings.Han Xiu couldn't figure it out even more. How could human beings have a demonic aura?Where did this evil spirit come from?Do these villagers know that they have a demonic aura?

Han Xiu didn't dare to ask rashly. He wanted to stay and observe for a while before making a decision, so he said to a villager closest to him: "Uncle, do you know where the village chief is? It happened that the four of us traveled a long distance. After passing here, it seems that the sky is getting late, and it will be a wilderness again. We want to rest here for a night, and I would like to ask the village head of your village to help us arrange accommodation."

The middle-aged man with his hair in a bun and a beer belly that looked like he was nine months pregnant did not speak. He looked Han Xiu and the others up and down, his eyes full of guard.

The rest of the villagers who heard Han Xiu's words also stopped their movements and stared at them expressionlessly.No matter how dull Han Xiu and the others are, they can still find that these people do not welcome them, and even resist their arrival very much. Why is this?What kind of secrets are hidden in this village?

Han Xiu's scalp was numb from being stared at by them. Just as he was about to speak, he heard the middle-aged man in front of him cough and said, "You are not welcome here, hurry up and get out." After speaking, he spat and stared at Han Xiu viciously , the rest of the villagers also tightened their tools, full of aggression.

Han Xiu raised his hands to indicate that he was not aggressive at all, and at the same time retreated under the pressure of the villagers until he exited the village entrance.The people in the village did not come out, so they stood at the entrance of the village and looked at Han Xiu and his party. Han Xiu hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to leave this strange village with Xiaolunan and others.

Han Xiu didn't go far away, but used the cover of the forest to hide his figure.He found that until their figures disappeared into the woods, the people at the entrance of the village dispersed one after another, but some cautious people stepped out of the village, carefully searched the woods at the entrance of the village, and confirmed that they were not in the woods. After this stay, I left contentedly.

"There is something wrong with this village! The villagers are too vigilant and xenophobic. They are definitely hiding something." Han Xiu fell down from the tree and successfully joined the little deer man and others in the distance. "Speaking of it, The ghost-faced man has not moved for a long time. Do you think he will be injured for some reason and have to hide to recuperate? For example, hiding in a human village under his control?"
