Disguised as the devil of the system

Xuanling Pavilion has been unprecedentedly quiet recently.

Ten days ago, the gate of the spiritual domain was moved from Tianqing City to the woods on the outskirts of Tianqing City by a black snake of unknown origin. Paid a heavy price.

Several masters died in that battle, and half of them were seriously injured in the fight against the black snake. What is even more unacceptable is that the gate of the spiritual realm has been closed since then, and the contact between the spiritual realm and the Xuanqing Continent will also be lost from then on. .

For the cultivators of the Xuanqing Continent, the Spirit Transformation Conference every three years is the most important day. On this day, all young disciples of the right age will go to the spirit realm to find spiritual objects that match them and form a contract. After that, when their strength grows in the future, they will go to the spiritual domain for the second time, and for the third time, each of them can form a bond with up to three spiritual creatures, bring them out of the spiritual domain, and accompany each other to fight for a lifetime, until they On the day of death, the spirit will leave them and return to the spirit realm.

For tens of thousands of years, people in the entire Xuanqing Continent have been accustomed to the existence of spirit creatures, but from now on, the younger generations and disciples will lose the opportunity to bond with spirit creatures. It still exists, but in the future, it will slowly disappear with the disappearance of this generation of disciples.

In the future, perhaps the entire Xuanqing Continent will have no trace of spiritual beings.

It was in such a situation that Xuan Shuzhi brought Hua Shi and others back from the woods outside Tianqing City, and everyone went back to their respective residences with gloomy faces.

In this way, more than ten days passed, and during this period of time, although many guests came to Xuanling Pavilion, not only Wen Zhong, Bai Heng, Yi Zhan and others, but also Lu Yao, Hanxi Sect and other sect leaders, many The masters and disciples of the sect also came to discuss with Xuan Shuzhi the issues to be dealt with next, how to deal with the escaped black snakes, and the possible moves of the other party, etc.

But even if there are so many people coming and going, the Xuanling Pavilion still doesn't seem lively, it's just quiet and low, as if the relaxed atmosphere before has disappeared, and many disciples don't even dare to speak loudly, and even their words are cautious stand up.

And all this is because the faces of those seniors in Xuanling Pavilion really make people dare not have any unnecessary words.

Whether it's the silent Baiheng Wenzhong, or the sullen Yi Zhan, or Lu Yao, who is so cold that he doesn't allow anyone to get close at all, even Xuan Shuzhi, who doesn't seem to have any abnormal expressions on his face, is actually not. It made the disciples feel worried.

But the most worrying thing for everyone is probably Hua Shi.

Since returning from the forest, Hua Shi has locked himself in the room all the time. For ten days or so, he has never left his room, and he has never even come out to eat or drink. No matter who goes there, he refuses to open the door. When we met each other, no one knew exactly what he was doing in the room, or what he was thinking.

This day, Wen Zhong came to the Ling Pavilion as usual, looked at Xuan Shuzhi who was sitting behind the desk reading the letter, handed him the things in his hand, and said: "These were brought by Ji Yuan. , said to be the black snake scales found around Xuanqing Continent, those black snakes seem to have other plans, they have been hiding their tracks these days, I also think this matter is not simple."

Xuan Shuzhi listened quietly to Wen Zhong's words, and when he reached the end, he came back to his senses: "He didn't think wrong, this matter may not be over yet."

Wen Zhong didn't respond immediately, Xuan Shuzhi paused for a moment and raised his eyes, "What's wrong?"

Seeing that the other party finally raised his eyes to meet his own, Wen Zhong sighed and said, "Usually, you would never be distracted like this for no reason."

Xuan Shuzhi laughed softly, avoiding Wen Zhong's gaze, and said, "You never used to be so wordy."

Wen Zhong wanted to say something more, but he gave up when he opened his mouth, and finally he just whispered: "Is Hua Shi still in the room and refuses to come out?"

Xuan Shuzhi shook his head, feeling a little funny and helpless: "This kid still thinks it's his fault, that the Palace Master is no longer here, and he killed the evil master."

Wen Zhong hesitated to speak, and finally asked after a long while, "Didn't someone tell him that the evil lord is not dead yet, but he just went back to the Yuan of Disaster?"

Xuan Shuzhi raised his eyebrows and said, "Even if I want to tell him, has he given me a chance?"

Before Wen Zhong could speak, another person walked in from outside. It was Yi Zhan who walked with Xuan Shuzhi every day. He seemed to have listened to most of the conversation between the two just now, so at this time, he answered the conversation immediately. Said: "I don't think you don't have a chance to say it, you just deliberately let him not say it."

Xuan Shuzhi has complicated thoughts and never shows his face. If there is anyone who understands him best at this time, it is probably only Yi Zhan.Yi Zhan stood at the door of the room at this time, looked at the two people facing each other in the room, slowly entered the room and put down a few tokens, and then continued: "You know that when you were dealing with the group of black snakes, later What happened to make it possible will be an inevitable result, because only the evil lord can deal with those black snakes, and since he is gone, he will definitely make a move, and making a move means that his wisp of consciousness cannot be kept."

Yi Zhan's words were very clear, he rarely spoke to Xuan Shuzhi with such an expression and tone.

Xuan Shuzhi didn't make a sound, but just stared at Yi Zhan, his thoughts seemed to have drifted away.

Yi Zhan said again: "At that time, no matter what you do or what Hua Shi does, it can't change the result, but you are still angry, you let Hua Shi reflect in the room alone, in fact, the person you really blame is yourself. "

Hearing this, Xuan Shuzhi finally reacted, he frowned and called Yi Zhan's name, his tone sounded a little different from before.

Yi Zhan had already arrived in front of Xuan Shuzhi at this time, he raised his hand and lightly touched Xuan Shuzhi's shoulder, and said in a low voice: "Don't think about it anymore, you have done enough."

"It's not enough." Xuan Shuzhi lowered his eyes and raised the corner of his eyebrows, "I've been thinking these days, if I could have arranged better and thought more, maybe I wouldn't have become what I am now. .”

Both Xuan Shuzhi and Yi Zhan were the elders of the evil Blood Crow Sect in the past. Later, the Temple of Wind and Rain ruled the evil way, and the Blood Crow Sect was also under the control of the evil lord Fang Wei. Following Fang Wei, Xuan Shuzhi spent most of the time It is the role of a think tank. In many cases, Fang Wei has no way to take care of everything, so at this time it is Xuan Shuzhi who speaks.

In the long run, when Fang Wei was away, Xuan Shuzhi became the backbone of the people. Whether it was Fang Wei's fall into the abyss, or what happened outside the sunny city today, Xuan Shuzhi made decisions on behalf of everyone.

It's just that under such circumstances, most decisions do not have the best of both worlds.

"Azhi." Yi Zhan held Xuan Shuzhi's hand in his palm, trying to calm him down.

However, Xuan Shuzhi's self-control is excellent, and before Yi Zhan could speak to comfort him, he had raised his head again, his expression seemed to be the same, and he said: "Okay, I know you want to say something What, many things are still waiting to be dealt with, and this is not the end, but just the beginning." After saying this, he regained his usual calm and indifferent appearance, turned to Wen Zhong and said, "Wen Zhong, help me put Hua Call me over here, he's calmed down for so long, it's almost time for him to know more things."

After all, as Xuan Shuzhi said, the matter is far from over, and Fang Wei in the abyss of disaster is still waiting for Hua Shi to rescue him from trouble, and they have no reason to be immersed in unnecessary emotions.

Wen nodded emphatically, before turning around, he said again: "I'm afraid even if I go, Hua Shi won't be willing to come out."

Xuan Shuzhi said: "Tell him, if he still wants to save that person, he should hurry over here."

Wen Zhong understood what these words meant to Hua Shi, so he nodded without further words, and quickly left the Lingge room.

After he left, Xuan Shuzhi closed his eyes wearily.

Yi Zhan raised his hand to rub his forehead for him, and spoke to him in a low voice, but Xuan Shuzhi didn't want to listen to any more comforting words, and just asked: "What did you bring just now? Over there in Tianwen Mountain Is there any other news? The formation is really broken and there is no way to restore it?"

"It's really not easy to recover, unless the group of black snakes have other backers." Yi Zhan didn't say any more, and he started to talk about the news from various factions during this period of time.

The two were talking in a low voice, and Xuan Shuzhi would ask a few questions from time to time, but most of the time it was still Yi Zhan who was talking. At the end of Yi Zhan's speech, Xuan Shuzhi's brows became more and more tight, and then he asked: " It seems that most of the escaped black snakes have been found, and their strength has obviously been suppressed, and their absorption ability has not become extremely strong like they did in Tianqing City. I guess this should be related to the evil lord's consciousness returning to the limit It has something to do with the monster."

Mentioning the matter of Fang Wei's consciousness returning to the abyss of disaster, the two were silent again until a moment later, they wrote a letter: "That's not right."

Yi Zhan frowned: "What's wrong?"

Xuan Shuzhi pondered: "Why do those black snakes want to escape?"

Yi Zhan took it for granted: "If you can't beat them, of course you have to run, otherwise what else can they do?"

"But black snakes can't adapt to the rules of the Xuanqing Continent. Although they are not spiritual creatures, they are the same as spiritual creatures. Even if they may exist longer than ordinary spiritual creatures, if they fail to form a bond with people, they will soon be disappear." Xuan Shuzhi asked rhetorically, "So what's the point of escaping for them?"

Yi Zhan really didn't think about this, and now that Xuan Shuzhi mentioned it, he was speechless: "You mean they escaped because they had other things to do?"

Xuan Shuzhi said, "It's not impossible."

After all, such things as changing the position of the formation and opening the gate of the spiritual realm without everyone being prepared, they really shouldn't underestimate these black snakes, there must be something behind these black snakes manipulating these plans.

When the two of them said this, there was suddenly the sound of hurried footsteps outside, Yi Zhan raised his head and looked towards the door, Xuan Shuzhi also stopped talking, and sat back on the chair again, just as he sat down, The people outside have already pushed open the door and rushed in.

"Master!" The person who entered the door was naturally Hua Shi. He probably rushed over here immediately after hearing Wen Zhong's message. Now he was covered in sweat and his breathing was a little short. Xuan Shuzhi's body, "Master, is he still alive? Do you really know...how can you save him?"
