After groping around the edge of the altar for a while, they found a formation.The pattern of this formation is self-contained, even Li Qingya, who has made some achievements in breaking the formation, can't see the way for a while.
Under Xia Rong's guidance, Li Qingya activated the formation.I saw the formation light up faintly and rotate twice.Then there was a click, and a floor on the altar slowly moved to the two sides, revealing a tunnel.
Li Qingya has more doubts about Xia Rong's identity.
Xia Rong's blood can activate the Demon God Formation, Xia Rong knows the secret way under the formation altar, is Xia Rong a Demon Race?But if Xia Rong is a demon, how did he survive after the destruction of Tianzhu City?And why can't Yin Xuehan's blood activate the Demon God Formation?
"It would be better for you not to ask."
Leaving those words behind, Xia Rong supported the wall and walked into the tunnel.
Li Qingya hurriedly supported Yin Xuehan and followed them, the tunnel entrance slowly closed behind them, and the demon god formation outside also regained calm as the blood of the formation was exhausted.
After a long time, a group of people came.They saw the bodies of the leaders, but failed to find the whereabouts of Xia Rong and Yin Xuehan.
The leader carefully inspected the battle marks on the stage: "Xia Rong was seriously injured, find them quickly! They must not be let go!"
Everyone led the order: "Yes!"
In the tunnel, Li Qingya closely followed Xia Rong's footsteps.
This is a well-finished tunnel, with smooth stone walls on all sides and even embossed decorations.The age is too long, the millennium lamp on the wall has long been extinguished, and their only light source is the luminous pearl in Xia Rong's hand.
Going down one step at a time, the space below becomes wider and wider, but the light from the night pearl can't really shine.
It is said that the Demon Emperor had captured countless human women to breed demons for him and his offspring, but only the favored ones could live in the Demon Palace on the ground, and the rest were imprisoned in the huge underground city.
Could it be here?
If this is the case, there is indeed no safer place in the city of Shijiao that day than here.
A main road stretches from the beginning to the end, and there are many branch roads on both sides.After walking quietly in the dark for a long time, Xia Rong stopped in front of one of the main roads: "Wait here."
Leaving this sentence behind, he stuffed the Ye Mingzhu to Li Qingya, walked forward, and his figure quickly disappeared into the darkness.
Yin Xuehan fell into a deep sleep under the effect of the medicine, Li Qingya put him by the wall, and sat down against the wall to rest.
Suddenly, an old man's surprised voice sounded in the darkness: "This is! This is the orphan of the Demon Race!"
Li Qingya was taken aback, held up the Ye Mingzhu and looked around: "Who? Who is talking?"
"Don't be afraid, the old man is the one who guards this dungeon, and has been waiting here for hundreds of years. Now that the old man is finally allowed to wait for a person with the blood of the demons, are you willing to inherit the inheritance of the demons?"
"I have demon blood?" Li Qingya wondered, why didn't he know?He always thought he was 100% human.
The voice responded eagerly: "Yes! But it's not too much, only one percent, and it has just met the conditions for inheritance."
Li Qingya: "Really? I don't believe it."
The voice asked him again: "Who are your father and mother, and where are they from?"
"How would I know."
The voice sighed softly: "Indeed. When Tianzhu City was destroyed, only a few demons escaped. They lived outside and lived in fear. Even if they have descendants, they dare not tell their origins."
"But no matter what, you are one of the few demons. Are you willing to inherit the inheritance of the demons and take on the responsibility of revitalizing the demons?"
Li Qingya: "I have a question."
"what is the problem?"
"Even if, as you said, I have 90.00% of the blood of the demon race, then I am not considered a demon race. We have [-]% of the blood of the human race, and there is no one in front? Just invest in [-]% of the shares and you will be all Eat everything, who gave the demons such a big face?"
That existence was stunned speechless, he hesitated for a long time and couldn't come up with a response.At this moment, with a click, the fence at the fork in front of him opened.
Li Qingya: "Why is there no sound?"
Xia Rong who came back along the alley: "Who are you talking to?"
"There was a voice talking to me just now, and he stopped talking once you came over."
Xia Rong understood: "Did it tell you that you have [-]% of the blood of the demons and want you to inherit the inheritance of the demons?"
Li Qingya was shocked: "How do you know?"
Xia Rong took the Night Pearl and threw it into the air.The bead stopped in mid-air, and he pointed to the top relief that was only illuminated by a small piece of light: "This is the thing that talks to you, it talks to everyone. Once you say yes, it will swallow your soul .”
The relief is just a shelter for this evil spirit, and it is useless to break it.
Realizing that he had escaped, Li Qingya took a deep breath, cold sweat broke out on his back: "Why didn't you remind me before you left?"
Xia Rong glanced at him quietly: "Forgot."
I thought that this annoying evil spirit had disappeared without devouring its soul for hundreds of years, but I didn't expect it to still exist.
He added: "Anyone with any sense would believe it."
Li Qingya who believed a little bit: ...
He swallowed a mouthful of old blood: "You are right."
Entering the fork road is a set of houses, each house has the same layout, with only two rooms inside and outside.There is only a table, a cabinet, and a bed in the room, and nothing else.
Li Qingya: "This place is different from the legend."
"Where is it in the legend? A place where women are imprisoned?" Xia Rong saw the answer from Li Qingya's face, and he replied coldly, "No, that's not here. It's for the demons to live here."
To be precise, it is for those heirs of the Demon Emperor who are not very favored.The place where women are imprisoned is on the lower floor, and there is hell on earth.
After Yin Xuehan settled down, Li Qingya walked out of the bedroom: "Yin Xuehan has been found, according to the agreement, you should let me go."
Xia Rong, who was meditating, didn't lift his eyelids: "Leave as soon as you want, are you still waiting for me to see you off?"
Although the tone was not very good, it did mean to let him go.In Li Qingya's accident, the dog thief changed his sex?Isn't he afraid of going out to inform him?
But he won't ask, it's the best policy to run away before Xia Rong repents.
It has been a day and a night since he left the inn, and I don't know if the little uncle has returned to Qinhuai.It's better to go back quickly, it would be bad if the little uncle was worried again.
After Li Qingya left, Xia Rong opened his eyes, which were filled with emotion.
Time passed bit by bit, the world seemed to be in the vast darkness, and he was the only one in the chaos.The evil spirit parasitic on the top of the dungeon not only likes to seduce people with lies, but also likes to attack people's defenses when they are most vulnerable.
【What if I escape?You are back after all. 】
【You have the blood of sin, you belong here. 】
shut up!Noisy!
Xia Rong covered her ears, but the voice was not blocked, and the sound went straight to the bottom of her heart.
[Stay here, this is your destination. 】
【Stay here and bury your hated blood here...】
Suddenly, a young man's clear voice sounded in the darkness: "Why did you turn off the light?"
Li Qingya turned back, and the night pearl in his hand illuminated the room again.After going out, he realized that he didn't know the way, and it took a lot of effort to find it back: "Well, I can't find the way, you—"
He wanted to ask Xia Rong to help him guide the way, but was shocked by the scene in front of him, and all the rest of the words stuck in his throat.
… 02
The Demon Lord was gone, and there was a young man huddled into a ball in the corner, his expression flustered and his face pale.The sudden light exposed his embarrassed posture in broad daylight.
The young man looked about thirteen or fourteen years old, with a handsome appearance, black eyeballs and crystal blue pupils, but the most striking thing was the pair of "goat horns" growing close to his head on the top of his head-the most obvious feature of the demon race.
Li Qingya, who has only seen demons in picture books, can't even speak: God, he saw a living demon!
After being surprised, he found that there were red blood stains on the boy's hands. Looking closely, the roots of the pair of goat horns were also bleeding.
—He was pulling his own horn just now?
Li Qingya's heart trembled slightly.
The sudden turn of the person who was supposed to leave also surprised the young man. He hurriedly covered the magic horn, and roared with red eyes: "What are you looking at? Close your eyes!"
Li Qingya hurriedly looked away.
There are only him, Yin Xuehan and Xia Rong. Yin Xuehan is still in a coma in the room. It is obvious who this young man is.
Xia Rong is indeed a Demon Race, and the purity of his bloodline is not low.It is said that more than [-]% of the demons with demonic blood can degenerate into juvenile forms after injury to save energy and speed up recovery. Now it seems to be true.
Continuing to reason, he can still guess that Xia Rong still lived here, so he is so familiar with this place, and he can find the mechanism even without lighting.
Li Qingya panicked, the more nervous his mind was, the more active he was, the more he thought, and then he discovered more things he shouldn't know.
Unfortunately, there is no way to get out alive now.
The only way is to pretend to be blind: "Well, I can't find the way out."
After waiting for a while, Xia Rong, who was huddled in the corner, responded: "Go out of the alley and turn left, pass thirteen forks and then turn right, see the witch statue and go up the steps...you know the rest of the road."
He seemed to say something at the end, but Li Qingya didn't hear it clearly, and after saying "thank you", he left again.
It's not that he doesn't have sympathy, he doesn't care when he sees Xia Rong's misery.It's just that the other party is a Demon Lord, and his pride is as high as a mountain, so forcibly offering mercy may anger him.
But after a while, Li Qingya turned back.
Facing Xia Rong's puzzled gaze, he explained: "Well, I'm afraid I'll run into the pursuers when I go out, so I'd better wait here."
In fact, he walked halfway, trying to understand what Xia Rong said later was "don't go, stay".At the beginning, it wasn't that I didn't hear the pronunciation clearly, it was because my mind didn't believe that Mozun would say such words, so I didn't interpret it in this way.
And he was really worried about leaving Xia Rong, who was getting younger and still emotionally unstable, and Yin Xuehan, who was seriously injured, here.What if Xia Rong loses his mind and kills Yin Xuehan before committing suicide?People who came later may not even be able to find their bodies.
The young Xia Rong who was hiding in the corner didn't say anything, buried his face between his knees, and let Li Qingya go.
Li Qingya placed the Ye Mingzhu at a place far away from Xia Rong, to illuminate the room while maintaining the twilight in that corner.
He took out the jade slip and tried to send a message to Pei Yuyan, but the distance was too far and the signal was too poor, so he didn't know if he could receive it.Junior Martial Uncle should be able to find out his secret code, instead of running back thousands of miles at the risk of being separated from Junior Martial Uncle, it is better to wait here for Junior Martial Uncle to come.
Putting away the jade slips, Li Qingya dug out the potion and bandages, looked back at Xia Rong who was huddled into a ball, and walked over bravely: "Um... I'm dizzy from blood, and I'm dizzy from the smell."
Xia Rong didn't speak, just looked at him coldly.
Li Qingya squatted down, like touching a wounded beast, while staring at Xia Rong's reaction, he stretched out his hand cautiously.After safely touching Xia Rong's cool skin, he breathed a sigh of relief.
In silence and fear, he finished bandaging Xia Rong's wound.Then he quickly put away his things and slipped into the bedroom to find the unconscious Yin Xuehan.He was afraid to stay with Xia Rong.
However, when Yin Xuehan woke up, his first sentence was to ask: "Where is he?"
Li Qingya leaned out and glanced quietly: "Rest outside."
"He left you behind?"
"Not really. The main reason is that you don't know the way, the second is that you are afraid of an ambush outside, and the third is that if you are worried that no one is watching, you will hit the wall and commit suicide."
Yin Xuehan blushed handsomely after being teased by him, and received the tactful concern in his words.Li Qingya is considerate and thoughtful, but the care he gives never crosses the line. It will be a very comfortable experience to be friends with him.
It's just that, how can it be possible to return to the boundary of friends if you have already moved your heart, you can only get along with each other normally, and your heartbeat won't stop.
"Don't worry, I won't seek death."
Now that he has come back to life, Yin Xuehan will not commit suicide. In his opinion, suicide is a weak and evasive behavior, and he will not die in this way if he wants to die.As for the entanglement with Xia Rong, just find other solutions.
Li Qingya smiled and said nothing.After having a "marriage contract" oolong, and Yin Xuehan still obviously interested in him, it feels awkward to talk about anything.
But when he goes out, he will face the autistic Xia Rong, and now it can be described as a dilemma.
Yin Xuehan closed his eyes and let out a long sigh: "I didn't hate him so much from the beginning."
Li Qingya understood that the "he" in these words was referring to Xia Rong.
Injury also seems to make people vulnerable inside, and it is possible to say things that would never be said.
Long, long ago, Yin Xuehan also had expectations for Xia Rong.It is human nature to have a good impression of one's creator, and the original Yin Xuehan also regarded Xia Rong as the closest person.
But no matter how hard he tried, he only got Xia Rong's denial and reprimand... In the long run, no matter how much expectation and goodwill he had, it would be wiped away.
At first he thought he was not good enough, but later he realized that it was Xia Rong who was not good enough.But he has developed a personality that is deeply lacking in identity.
Li Qingya relieved: "If you can't get the fate in the world, don't force it. It's not your fault."
Yin Xuehan really wanted to ask, "Then, are you and I destined?" But guessing that he couldn't get the answer he wanted, he didn't ask, but said "Thank you".
After comforting Yin Xuehan, Li Qingya found an excuse to slip outside.
The two of them share a room with each other, pretending that each other does not exist.If there is anything, Li Qingya needs to be the microphone.
Xia Rong has become smaller again, and now he looks only seven or eight years old, but his condition is much better than before, and his complexion is not so bad, but he is still huddled in the corner, it seems that only that place can give him a sense of security.
"You know." Xia Rong said in a low voice, her voice was immature, but her tone was still that of a demon.
Li Qingya: "Know what?"
"Yin Xuehan is the incarnation of this seat."
If it weren't for this, why Li Qingya didn't have any doubts at all, it's fine if he didn't wonder why he came all the way to save Yin Xuehan, but he didn't have any doubts about the words of those traitors.
Li Qingya's heart skipped a beat: Xia Rong didn't try to test, but just said it out, did he intend to kill him to silence him?
He was so panicked that his speech was tied up: "Now now... now I know."
Xia Rong saw his panic, and said quietly: "When the city was broken, he found me, but he didn't kill me. Later, he let me go."
"Who?"
"Your master Nie Qingxuan." Xia Rong added, "So as long as you don't do anything beyond my tolerance limit, I won't hurt you."
Li Qingya let out an "oh" and felt relieved.
Xia Rong stopped talking, and Li Qingya felt a little regretful.He just thought that Xia Rong wanted to talk to him like Yin Xuehan, and was considering whether to charge a consulting fee, but now he wants to give Xia Rong money and let him tell the story of the past.
It's just that Mozun certainly doesn't care about these three melons and two dates.
The goodwill between them is not enough for Xia Rong to deepen the topic, or to say, there are some things that Xia Rong will never bring up in his life.
But the memory that was evoked became louder and louder the more it was suppressed, and the screams of the dead people sounded in his ears again——
His biological mother was a mortal with no aptitude for cultivating immortals. It was difficult for such a woman to give birth to a child with high talents, and it was very easy to die when she was giving birth to the offspring of the demon clan.
Xia Rong was extremely weak when he was born, and he was sick until he was 17 years old. Such a physique was a step backward in cultivation, and naturally he did not get the attention of the Demon Emperor.
And his mother survived, among a group of brothers and sisters who were equally inferior and unloved, he was one of the very few who had a mother, and his mother did not hate her like other captive women. A child born by oneself.
It's just that he didn't know at that time that it was lucky for him that his mother didn't die in childbirth, but it was a great misfortune for this woman.
After all, she died, and her death was extremely miserable.
Apart from mother, it's not that no one else treats Xia Rong well.In this dark dungeon, there are also kind brothers and sisters, but kind people often die very quickly among the demons.
Later, the city of Tianzhu was broken, and all the demons were arrested and judged.
Demonic bloodthirsty, likes to plunder, few have clean hands.Those "eldest brothers" who had been reused by the Demon Emperor were sentenced to death one by one, but he was the only one who had never been questioned.
Until one day, the "righteous great man" who killed the Demon Emperor brought a man whose eyes were covered with cloth strips.
Xia Rong has seen this man before, he is a disciple of Chunyang Sect, and his name is Shen Liuyun.The Chunyang Sect was destroyed by the Demon Emperor, but Shen Liuyun was the only one who was arrested and locked up and tortured.
In order to tease Xia Rong, the "elder brothers" once took him to visit the tortured Shen Liuyun. They let snakes, insects, rats and ants eat up all the flesh on his body, and cured him with Sai Lingdan, jokingly said: "Don't kill him, father The emperor still expects him to be soft."
The once elegant and dignified son of the righteous way was locked in a cage by a group of demons, tortured relentlessly, and his dignity was crushed into dust.Now that he is free, will he let the demons go?
Nie Qingxuan opened the cage, pointed at Xia Rong and said to Shen Liuyun, "I left one for you to avenge."
Sensing the breath in the cage, Shen Liuyun's face changed, and he asked Nie Qingxuan angrily: "What do you mean by leaving me a child of the demon race who has never killed anyone?"
It's ridiculous to say, don't look at Xia Rong now, he really didn't kill anyone when he was young.But this does not mean that he is a good person, a good person cannot survive in the dungeon.If it is said that in the early years, he thought about working hard to climb up for his mother, but after his mother's tragic death, he only hated the demons, so he no longer respected those arrangements and allowed himself to be squeezed out to the bottom of the demons.
Nie Qingxuan's response was: "You don't care if he killed anyone or not. He is a demon, and the demon deserves to die, right? Kill him, avenge your father and brother, and Chunyangzong."
As he spoke, he stuffed a sword into Shen Liuyun's hand, and considering that Shen Liuyun couldn't see it, he thoughtfully lifted the sword for him and pointed it at Xia Rong's heart.
Shen Liuyun's hand holding the sword was trembling crazily, and his heart was experiencing painful torment-should he kill an innocent demon child to vent his hatred; or should he restrain his hatred and let him go?
Nie Qingxuan deliberately pushed Shen Liuyun to an extreme situation, tearing his scarred heart apart again.But only in this way can the sepsis inside flow out, and Shen Liuyun can be freed from the hatred.
In the end, Shen Liuyun was still unable to attack a young demon who had never been stained with blood, so he dropped his sword and fled.
Nie Qingxuan looked at Shen Liuyun until his back disappeared, then glanced at Xia Rong: "Let's go, you are free."
Just like Yin Xuehan hated what was owed to him, Xia Rong also hated Cheng Nie Qingxuan's affection extremely.But strictly speaking, he only hated Nie Qingxuan, far from being hated.There was even a tinge of gratitude deep in his heart, because Nie Qingxuan killed the Demon Emperor, destroyed Tianzhu City, and did what he most wanted to do but couldn't do.
As for Li Qingya - the disciple Nie Qingxuan cared about the most.Xia Rong didn't have deep feelings at first.
No matter how excellent a seedling is, it is just a seedling, and it is not worth paying too much attention to until it grows into a towering tree.It's not a big deal that Yin Xuehan likes him, as long as it doesn't delay the business, Xia Rong doesn't bother to bother.
Only now did Xia Rong vaguely understand what is good about this young man.
After Li Qingya left and returned, that annoying evil spirit stopped talking, and he was able to sleep peacefully tonight...
Li Qingya had a dream.
He dreamed of a young man practicing sword practice in a small yard, but he seemed to be in poor health and his arms were weak, and he struggled to swing a sword that was considered heavy by an adult. Finally couldn't hold it anymore and fell to the ground exhausted.
The boy still wanted to get up and continue practicing, but he was too tired, and he tried hard for a long time but failed.In the end, he lay helplessly in the dirt and cried.
Li Qingya noticed that the boy's appearance was very similar to Yin Xuehan's.It seems that he has been a "confidant brother" a lot during the day, so he dreams of these things at night.
He sighed, and stepped forward to help the boy up: "Don't cry, you've done a good job."
He stayed with the boy all night in his dream, and when he woke up the next day, he felt as sleepy as if he hadn't slept.He scratched his head depressedly, it was just a dream, why was he so serious?
When talking to Yin Xuehan, he didn't know anything.Sure enough, people's dreams are not interlinked.
Xia Rong has ended his autism, came out from the corner, sat on the cushion and closed his eyes to rest.The ability of the Mozu to shrink the body to restore the wound is very effective. Xia Rong's injury healed very quickly, and he began to restore his body after only one night.
As for Yin Xuehan, although he wasn't perfect, he was able to act on his own.
After waiting for a long time, Xia Rong, who had fully recovered, stood up: "Let's go, Mo Zong and the members of the Blood Alliance have arrived."
Li Qingya had been looking forward to this sentence for a long time.
Walking out of the tunnel entrance, seeing the sky again, he seemed to be born again, and was so moved that he was on the verge of tears.
People from the two factions lined up outside, with Mo Zong occupying the left, and those from the Blood Alliance occupying the right.
Seeing them coming out, members of the blood alliance rushed up to support Yin Xuehan: "Leader!" Mo Zong's people all knelt down to Xia Rong and shouted: "Your subordinates welcome the lord."
Protector Mo Zong stepped forward to report the result to Yin Xuehan: "My lord, the traitors in Tianzhu City have been cleaned up, and 12 people have been captured alive..."
Yin Xuehan grabbed Li Qingya's hand and occupied his attention: "Come back with me."
"No. I can go alone."
Yin Xuehan was a little disappointed, but he didn't force it: "If you encounter any problems in the future, just come to the blood alliance to find me."
After speaking, he added: "Of course, it's fine if you have nothing to do." Although the original engagement was an oolong, he didn't mind chasing Li Qingya again.
Li Qingya withdrew his hand calmly: "I will!"
And Xia Rong glanced at them, said nothing, and got into the car surrounded by his subordinates.
People from both factions left one after another.Guardian Zuo took a step behind and deliberately stayed by Li Qingya's side.He looked at Xia Rong and Yin Xuehan's car, and sighed: "Master Yin is very similar to the Lord when he was young."
Realizing that he had made a slip of the tongue, he quickly stopped, and bowed to Li Qingya: "Li Shaoxia's kindness this time, Mo Zong will remember it in his heart, and if it is useful in the future, just speak up."
These words carry a lot of weight, and Guardian Zuo dared to promise that it must be Xia Rong's intention.The proud Mozun would not say this kind of thanks.
Li Qingya replied: "Okay."
After saying this, Guardian Zuo also left with the rest of the people.Leaving Li Qingya scratching his head alone: Yin Xuehan looks like Xia Rong when he was young?real or fake?
……
In the car, Xia Rong closed his eyes and rested his mind, but his mood was never calm.
People tend to hate themselves when they were younger.
If we worked harder at that time, would we be able to keep what we want?Wouldn't there be so many regrets?
The birth of Yin Xuehan was not an accident, it was the inevitable result of stripping the demon blood when he refined the avatar.
He only gave Yin Xuehan the blood from his mother, hoping that this incarnation would have a clean life without any sins.
Yin Xuehan is actually no worse than he used to be, and even much stronger in some aspects.But Xia Rong still can't help but hate him for not being aggressive enough, not working hard enough, these negative emotions can't even be controlled by himself.
Perhaps, what he hated was never Yin Xuehan, but the weak self he used to be.
Yin Xuehan betrayed Mo Zong, he was secretly relieved.Staying is nothing but torturing each other, and separation is the best arrangement for them.
"Zuo Qi."
Outside the car window, Guardian Zuo, who was catching up, responded, "This subordinate is here."
"I give you a task and put it in the first priority."
Hearing these words, Guardian Zuo paid [-] points of attention: "My lord orders."
"Help Yin Xuehan chase Li Qingya."
Left Protector: ...
Hearing such an order from his career-minded boss suddenly, Zuo Hufa wondered if he had heard it wrong.But the monk's hearing is not so easy to go wrong. Although he doubted his life, he still responded: "Yes."
The author has something to say: Xia Rong in the past: What is emotion?Labor and capital only have careers.
Xia Rong now: No, I have to find a way to turn Li Qingya into my family.
Xia Rong now only understands why Yin Xuehan likes Li Qingya, not because he likes Li Qingya.
This is an old iron tree with a career brain of more than 500 years, and it is too difficult to bloom
But think about it, if Xia Rong becomes enlightened after Yin Xuehan chases Qingya... wouldn't it be very exciting
(The author is talking nonsense, don't take it seriously)
Under Xia Rong's guidance, Li Qingya activated the formation.I saw the formation light up faintly and rotate twice.Then there was a click, and a floor on the altar slowly moved to the two sides, revealing a tunnel.
Li Qingya has more doubts about Xia Rong's identity.
Xia Rong's blood can activate the Demon God Formation, Xia Rong knows the secret way under the formation altar, is Xia Rong a Demon Race?But if Xia Rong is a demon, how did he survive after the destruction of Tianzhu City?And why can't Yin Xuehan's blood activate the Demon God Formation?
"It would be better for you not to ask."
Leaving those words behind, Xia Rong supported the wall and walked into the tunnel.
Li Qingya hurriedly supported Yin Xuehan and followed them, the tunnel entrance slowly closed behind them, and the demon god formation outside also regained calm as the blood of the formation was exhausted.
After a long time, a group of people came.They saw the bodies of the leaders, but failed to find the whereabouts of Xia Rong and Yin Xuehan.
The leader carefully inspected the battle marks on the stage: "Xia Rong was seriously injured, find them quickly! They must not be let go!"
Everyone led the order: "Yes!"
In the tunnel, Li Qingya closely followed Xia Rong's footsteps.
This is a well-finished tunnel, with smooth stone walls on all sides and even embossed decorations.The age is too long, the millennium lamp on the wall has long been extinguished, and their only light source is the luminous pearl in Xia Rong's hand.
Going down one step at a time, the space below becomes wider and wider, but the light from the night pearl can't really shine.
It is said that the Demon Emperor had captured countless human women to breed demons for him and his offspring, but only the favored ones could live in the Demon Palace on the ground, and the rest were imprisoned in the huge underground city.
Could it be here?
If this is the case, there is indeed no safer place in the city of Shijiao that day than here.
A main road stretches from the beginning to the end, and there are many branch roads on both sides.After walking quietly in the dark for a long time, Xia Rong stopped in front of one of the main roads: "Wait here."
Leaving this sentence behind, he stuffed the Ye Mingzhu to Li Qingya, walked forward, and his figure quickly disappeared into the darkness.
Yin Xuehan fell into a deep sleep under the effect of the medicine, Li Qingya put him by the wall, and sat down against the wall to rest.
Suddenly, an old man's surprised voice sounded in the darkness: "This is! This is the orphan of the Demon Race!"
Li Qingya was taken aback, held up the Ye Mingzhu and looked around: "Who? Who is talking?"
"Don't be afraid, the old man is the one who guards this dungeon, and has been waiting here for hundreds of years. Now that the old man is finally allowed to wait for a person with the blood of the demons, are you willing to inherit the inheritance of the demons?"
"I have demon blood?" Li Qingya wondered, why didn't he know?He always thought he was 100% human.
The voice responded eagerly: "Yes! But it's not too much, only one percent, and it has just met the conditions for inheritance."
Li Qingya: "Really? I don't believe it."
The voice asked him again: "Who are your father and mother, and where are they from?"
"How would I know."
The voice sighed softly: "Indeed. When Tianzhu City was destroyed, only a few demons escaped. They lived outside and lived in fear. Even if they have descendants, they dare not tell their origins."
"But no matter what, you are one of the few demons. Are you willing to inherit the inheritance of the demons and take on the responsibility of revitalizing the demons?"
Li Qingya: "I have a question."
"what is the problem?"
"Even if, as you said, I have 90.00% of the blood of the demon race, then I am not considered a demon race. We have [-]% of the blood of the human race, and there is no one in front? Just invest in [-]% of the shares and you will be all Eat everything, who gave the demons such a big face?"
That existence was stunned speechless, he hesitated for a long time and couldn't come up with a response.At this moment, with a click, the fence at the fork in front of him opened.
Li Qingya: "Why is there no sound?"
Xia Rong who came back along the alley: "Who are you talking to?"
"There was a voice talking to me just now, and he stopped talking once you came over."
Xia Rong understood: "Did it tell you that you have [-]% of the blood of the demons and want you to inherit the inheritance of the demons?"
Li Qingya was shocked: "How do you know?"
Xia Rong took the Night Pearl and threw it into the air.The bead stopped in mid-air, and he pointed to the top relief that was only illuminated by a small piece of light: "This is the thing that talks to you, it talks to everyone. Once you say yes, it will swallow your soul .”
The relief is just a shelter for this evil spirit, and it is useless to break it.
Realizing that he had escaped, Li Qingya took a deep breath, cold sweat broke out on his back: "Why didn't you remind me before you left?"
Xia Rong glanced at him quietly: "Forgot."
I thought that this annoying evil spirit had disappeared without devouring its soul for hundreds of years, but I didn't expect it to still exist.
He added: "Anyone with any sense would believe it."
Li Qingya who believed a little bit: ...
He swallowed a mouthful of old blood: "You are right."
Entering the fork road is a set of houses, each house has the same layout, with only two rooms inside and outside.There is only a table, a cabinet, and a bed in the room, and nothing else.
Li Qingya: "This place is different from the legend."
"Where is it in the legend? A place where women are imprisoned?" Xia Rong saw the answer from Li Qingya's face, and he replied coldly, "No, that's not here. It's for the demons to live here."
To be precise, it is for those heirs of the Demon Emperor who are not very favored.The place where women are imprisoned is on the lower floor, and there is hell on earth.
After Yin Xuehan settled down, Li Qingya walked out of the bedroom: "Yin Xuehan has been found, according to the agreement, you should let me go."
Xia Rong, who was meditating, didn't lift his eyelids: "Leave as soon as you want, are you still waiting for me to see you off?"
Although the tone was not very good, it did mean to let him go.In Li Qingya's accident, the dog thief changed his sex?Isn't he afraid of going out to inform him?
But he won't ask, it's the best policy to run away before Xia Rong repents.
It has been a day and a night since he left the inn, and I don't know if the little uncle has returned to Qinhuai.It's better to go back quickly, it would be bad if the little uncle was worried again.
After Li Qingya left, Xia Rong opened his eyes, which were filled with emotion.
Time passed bit by bit, the world seemed to be in the vast darkness, and he was the only one in the chaos.The evil spirit parasitic on the top of the dungeon not only likes to seduce people with lies, but also likes to attack people's defenses when they are most vulnerable.
【What if I escape?You are back after all. 】
【You have the blood of sin, you belong here. 】
shut up!Noisy!
Xia Rong covered her ears, but the voice was not blocked, and the sound went straight to the bottom of her heart.
[Stay here, this is your destination. 】
【Stay here and bury your hated blood here...】
Suddenly, a young man's clear voice sounded in the darkness: "Why did you turn off the light?"
Li Qingya turned back, and the night pearl in his hand illuminated the room again.After going out, he realized that he didn't know the way, and it took a lot of effort to find it back: "Well, I can't find the way, you—"
He wanted to ask Xia Rong to help him guide the way, but was shocked by the scene in front of him, and all the rest of the words stuck in his throat.
… 02
The Demon Lord was gone, and there was a young man huddled into a ball in the corner, his expression flustered and his face pale.The sudden light exposed his embarrassed posture in broad daylight.
The young man looked about thirteen or fourteen years old, with a handsome appearance, black eyeballs and crystal blue pupils, but the most striking thing was the pair of "goat horns" growing close to his head on the top of his head-the most obvious feature of the demon race.
Li Qingya, who has only seen demons in picture books, can't even speak: God, he saw a living demon!
After being surprised, he found that there were red blood stains on the boy's hands. Looking closely, the roots of the pair of goat horns were also bleeding.
—He was pulling his own horn just now?
Li Qingya's heart trembled slightly.
The sudden turn of the person who was supposed to leave also surprised the young man. He hurriedly covered the magic horn, and roared with red eyes: "What are you looking at? Close your eyes!"
Li Qingya hurriedly looked away.
There are only him, Yin Xuehan and Xia Rong. Yin Xuehan is still in a coma in the room. It is obvious who this young man is.
Xia Rong is indeed a Demon Race, and the purity of his bloodline is not low.It is said that more than [-]% of the demons with demonic blood can degenerate into juvenile forms after injury to save energy and speed up recovery. Now it seems to be true.
Continuing to reason, he can still guess that Xia Rong still lived here, so he is so familiar with this place, and he can find the mechanism even without lighting.
Li Qingya panicked, the more nervous his mind was, the more active he was, the more he thought, and then he discovered more things he shouldn't know.
Unfortunately, there is no way to get out alive now.
The only way is to pretend to be blind: "Well, I can't find the way out."
After waiting for a while, Xia Rong, who was huddled in the corner, responded: "Go out of the alley and turn left, pass thirteen forks and then turn right, see the witch statue and go up the steps...you know the rest of the road."
He seemed to say something at the end, but Li Qingya didn't hear it clearly, and after saying "thank you", he left again.
It's not that he doesn't have sympathy, he doesn't care when he sees Xia Rong's misery.It's just that the other party is a Demon Lord, and his pride is as high as a mountain, so forcibly offering mercy may anger him.
But after a while, Li Qingya turned back.
Facing Xia Rong's puzzled gaze, he explained: "Well, I'm afraid I'll run into the pursuers when I go out, so I'd better wait here."
In fact, he walked halfway, trying to understand what Xia Rong said later was "don't go, stay".At the beginning, it wasn't that I didn't hear the pronunciation clearly, it was because my mind didn't believe that Mozun would say such words, so I didn't interpret it in this way.
And he was really worried about leaving Xia Rong, who was getting younger and still emotionally unstable, and Yin Xuehan, who was seriously injured, here.What if Xia Rong loses his mind and kills Yin Xuehan before committing suicide?People who came later may not even be able to find their bodies.
The young Xia Rong who was hiding in the corner didn't say anything, buried his face between his knees, and let Li Qingya go.
Li Qingya placed the Ye Mingzhu at a place far away from Xia Rong, to illuminate the room while maintaining the twilight in that corner.
He took out the jade slip and tried to send a message to Pei Yuyan, but the distance was too far and the signal was too poor, so he didn't know if he could receive it.Junior Martial Uncle should be able to find out his secret code, instead of running back thousands of miles at the risk of being separated from Junior Martial Uncle, it is better to wait here for Junior Martial Uncle to come.
Putting away the jade slips, Li Qingya dug out the potion and bandages, looked back at Xia Rong who was huddled into a ball, and walked over bravely: "Um... I'm dizzy from blood, and I'm dizzy from the smell."
Xia Rong didn't speak, just looked at him coldly.
Li Qingya squatted down, like touching a wounded beast, while staring at Xia Rong's reaction, he stretched out his hand cautiously.After safely touching Xia Rong's cool skin, he breathed a sigh of relief.
In silence and fear, he finished bandaging Xia Rong's wound.Then he quickly put away his things and slipped into the bedroom to find the unconscious Yin Xuehan.He was afraid to stay with Xia Rong.
However, when Yin Xuehan woke up, his first sentence was to ask: "Where is he?"
Li Qingya leaned out and glanced quietly: "Rest outside."
"He left you behind?"
"Not really. The main reason is that you don't know the way, the second is that you are afraid of an ambush outside, and the third is that if you are worried that no one is watching, you will hit the wall and commit suicide."
Yin Xuehan blushed handsomely after being teased by him, and received the tactful concern in his words.Li Qingya is considerate and thoughtful, but the care he gives never crosses the line. It will be a very comfortable experience to be friends with him.
It's just that, how can it be possible to return to the boundary of friends if you have already moved your heart, you can only get along with each other normally, and your heartbeat won't stop.
"Don't worry, I won't seek death."
Now that he has come back to life, Yin Xuehan will not commit suicide. In his opinion, suicide is a weak and evasive behavior, and he will not die in this way if he wants to die.As for the entanglement with Xia Rong, just find other solutions.
Li Qingya smiled and said nothing.After having a "marriage contract" oolong, and Yin Xuehan still obviously interested in him, it feels awkward to talk about anything.
But when he goes out, he will face the autistic Xia Rong, and now it can be described as a dilemma.
Yin Xuehan closed his eyes and let out a long sigh: "I didn't hate him so much from the beginning."
Li Qingya understood that the "he" in these words was referring to Xia Rong.
Injury also seems to make people vulnerable inside, and it is possible to say things that would never be said.
Long, long ago, Yin Xuehan also had expectations for Xia Rong.It is human nature to have a good impression of one's creator, and the original Yin Xuehan also regarded Xia Rong as the closest person.
But no matter how hard he tried, he only got Xia Rong's denial and reprimand... In the long run, no matter how much expectation and goodwill he had, it would be wiped away.
At first he thought he was not good enough, but later he realized that it was Xia Rong who was not good enough.But he has developed a personality that is deeply lacking in identity.
Li Qingya relieved: "If you can't get the fate in the world, don't force it. It's not your fault."
Yin Xuehan really wanted to ask, "Then, are you and I destined?" But guessing that he couldn't get the answer he wanted, he didn't ask, but said "Thank you".
After comforting Yin Xuehan, Li Qingya found an excuse to slip outside.
The two of them share a room with each other, pretending that each other does not exist.If there is anything, Li Qingya needs to be the microphone.
Xia Rong has become smaller again, and now he looks only seven or eight years old, but his condition is much better than before, and his complexion is not so bad, but he is still huddled in the corner, it seems that only that place can give him a sense of security.
"You know." Xia Rong said in a low voice, her voice was immature, but her tone was still that of a demon.
Li Qingya: "Know what?"
"Yin Xuehan is the incarnation of this seat."
If it weren't for this, why Li Qingya didn't have any doubts at all, it's fine if he didn't wonder why he came all the way to save Yin Xuehan, but he didn't have any doubts about the words of those traitors.
Li Qingya's heart skipped a beat: Xia Rong didn't try to test, but just said it out, did he intend to kill him to silence him?
He was so panicked that his speech was tied up: "Now now... now I know."
Xia Rong saw his panic, and said quietly: "When the city was broken, he found me, but he didn't kill me. Later, he let me go."
"Who?"
"Your master Nie Qingxuan." Xia Rong added, "So as long as you don't do anything beyond my tolerance limit, I won't hurt you."
Li Qingya let out an "oh" and felt relieved.
Xia Rong stopped talking, and Li Qingya felt a little regretful.He just thought that Xia Rong wanted to talk to him like Yin Xuehan, and was considering whether to charge a consulting fee, but now he wants to give Xia Rong money and let him tell the story of the past.
It's just that Mozun certainly doesn't care about these three melons and two dates.
The goodwill between them is not enough for Xia Rong to deepen the topic, or to say, there are some things that Xia Rong will never bring up in his life.
But the memory that was evoked became louder and louder the more it was suppressed, and the screams of the dead people sounded in his ears again——
His biological mother was a mortal with no aptitude for cultivating immortals. It was difficult for such a woman to give birth to a child with high talents, and it was very easy to die when she was giving birth to the offspring of the demon clan.
Xia Rong was extremely weak when he was born, and he was sick until he was 17 years old. Such a physique was a step backward in cultivation, and naturally he did not get the attention of the Demon Emperor.
And his mother survived, among a group of brothers and sisters who were equally inferior and unloved, he was one of the very few who had a mother, and his mother did not hate her like other captive women. A child born by oneself.
It's just that he didn't know at that time that it was lucky for him that his mother didn't die in childbirth, but it was a great misfortune for this woman.
After all, she died, and her death was extremely miserable.
Apart from mother, it's not that no one else treats Xia Rong well.In this dark dungeon, there are also kind brothers and sisters, but kind people often die very quickly among the demons.
Later, the city of Tianzhu was broken, and all the demons were arrested and judged.
Demonic bloodthirsty, likes to plunder, few have clean hands.Those "eldest brothers" who had been reused by the Demon Emperor were sentenced to death one by one, but he was the only one who had never been questioned.
Until one day, the "righteous great man" who killed the Demon Emperor brought a man whose eyes were covered with cloth strips.
Xia Rong has seen this man before, he is a disciple of Chunyang Sect, and his name is Shen Liuyun.The Chunyang Sect was destroyed by the Demon Emperor, but Shen Liuyun was the only one who was arrested and locked up and tortured.
In order to tease Xia Rong, the "elder brothers" once took him to visit the tortured Shen Liuyun. They let snakes, insects, rats and ants eat up all the flesh on his body, and cured him with Sai Lingdan, jokingly said: "Don't kill him, father The emperor still expects him to be soft."
The once elegant and dignified son of the righteous way was locked in a cage by a group of demons, tortured relentlessly, and his dignity was crushed into dust.Now that he is free, will he let the demons go?
Nie Qingxuan opened the cage, pointed at Xia Rong and said to Shen Liuyun, "I left one for you to avenge."
Sensing the breath in the cage, Shen Liuyun's face changed, and he asked Nie Qingxuan angrily: "What do you mean by leaving me a child of the demon race who has never killed anyone?"
It's ridiculous to say, don't look at Xia Rong now, he really didn't kill anyone when he was young.But this does not mean that he is a good person, a good person cannot survive in the dungeon.If it is said that in the early years, he thought about working hard to climb up for his mother, but after his mother's tragic death, he only hated the demons, so he no longer respected those arrangements and allowed himself to be squeezed out to the bottom of the demons.
Nie Qingxuan's response was: "You don't care if he killed anyone or not. He is a demon, and the demon deserves to die, right? Kill him, avenge your father and brother, and Chunyangzong."
As he spoke, he stuffed a sword into Shen Liuyun's hand, and considering that Shen Liuyun couldn't see it, he thoughtfully lifted the sword for him and pointed it at Xia Rong's heart.
Shen Liuyun's hand holding the sword was trembling crazily, and his heart was experiencing painful torment-should he kill an innocent demon child to vent his hatred; or should he restrain his hatred and let him go?
Nie Qingxuan deliberately pushed Shen Liuyun to an extreme situation, tearing his scarred heart apart again.But only in this way can the sepsis inside flow out, and Shen Liuyun can be freed from the hatred.
In the end, Shen Liuyun was still unable to attack a young demon who had never been stained with blood, so he dropped his sword and fled.
Nie Qingxuan looked at Shen Liuyun until his back disappeared, then glanced at Xia Rong: "Let's go, you are free."
Just like Yin Xuehan hated what was owed to him, Xia Rong also hated Cheng Nie Qingxuan's affection extremely.But strictly speaking, he only hated Nie Qingxuan, far from being hated.There was even a tinge of gratitude deep in his heart, because Nie Qingxuan killed the Demon Emperor, destroyed Tianzhu City, and did what he most wanted to do but couldn't do.
As for Li Qingya - the disciple Nie Qingxuan cared about the most.Xia Rong didn't have deep feelings at first.
No matter how excellent a seedling is, it is just a seedling, and it is not worth paying too much attention to until it grows into a towering tree.It's not a big deal that Yin Xuehan likes him, as long as it doesn't delay the business, Xia Rong doesn't bother to bother.
Only now did Xia Rong vaguely understand what is good about this young man.
After Li Qingya left and returned, that annoying evil spirit stopped talking, and he was able to sleep peacefully tonight...
Li Qingya had a dream.
He dreamed of a young man practicing sword practice in a small yard, but he seemed to be in poor health and his arms were weak, and he struggled to swing a sword that was considered heavy by an adult. Finally couldn't hold it anymore and fell to the ground exhausted.
The boy still wanted to get up and continue practicing, but he was too tired, and he tried hard for a long time but failed.In the end, he lay helplessly in the dirt and cried.
Li Qingya noticed that the boy's appearance was very similar to Yin Xuehan's.It seems that he has been a "confidant brother" a lot during the day, so he dreams of these things at night.
He sighed, and stepped forward to help the boy up: "Don't cry, you've done a good job."
He stayed with the boy all night in his dream, and when he woke up the next day, he felt as sleepy as if he hadn't slept.He scratched his head depressedly, it was just a dream, why was he so serious?
When talking to Yin Xuehan, he didn't know anything.Sure enough, people's dreams are not interlinked.
Xia Rong has ended his autism, came out from the corner, sat on the cushion and closed his eyes to rest.The ability of the Mozu to shrink the body to restore the wound is very effective. Xia Rong's injury healed very quickly, and he began to restore his body after only one night.
As for Yin Xuehan, although he wasn't perfect, he was able to act on his own.
After waiting for a long time, Xia Rong, who had fully recovered, stood up: "Let's go, Mo Zong and the members of the Blood Alliance have arrived."
Li Qingya had been looking forward to this sentence for a long time.
Walking out of the tunnel entrance, seeing the sky again, he seemed to be born again, and was so moved that he was on the verge of tears.
People from the two factions lined up outside, with Mo Zong occupying the left, and those from the Blood Alliance occupying the right.
Seeing them coming out, members of the blood alliance rushed up to support Yin Xuehan: "Leader!" Mo Zong's people all knelt down to Xia Rong and shouted: "Your subordinates welcome the lord."
Protector Mo Zong stepped forward to report the result to Yin Xuehan: "My lord, the traitors in Tianzhu City have been cleaned up, and 12 people have been captured alive..."
Yin Xuehan grabbed Li Qingya's hand and occupied his attention: "Come back with me."
"No. I can go alone."
Yin Xuehan was a little disappointed, but he didn't force it: "If you encounter any problems in the future, just come to the blood alliance to find me."
After speaking, he added: "Of course, it's fine if you have nothing to do." Although the original engagement was an oolong, he didn't mind chasing Li Qingya again.
Li Qingya withdrew his hand calmly: "I will!"
And Xia Rong glanced at them, said nothing, and got into the car surrounded by his subordinates.
People from both factions left one after another.Guardian Zuo took a step behind and deliberately stayed by Li Qingya's side.He looked at Xia Rong and Yin Xuehan's car, and sighed: "Master Yin is very similar to the Lord when he was young."
Realizing that he had made a slip of the tongue, he quickly stopped, and bowed to Li Qingya: "Li Shaoxia's kindness this time, Mo Zong will remember it in his heart, and if it is useful in the future, just speak up."
These words carry a lot of weight, and Guardian Zuo dared to promise that it must be Xia Rong's intention.The proud Mozun would not say this kind of thanks.
Li Qingya replied: "Okay."
After saying this, Guardian Zuo also left with the rest of the people.Leaving Li Qingya scratching his head alone: Yin Xuehan looks like Xia Rong when he was young?real or fake?
……
In the car, Xia Rong closed his eyes and rested his mind, but his mood was never calm.
People tend to hate themselves when they were younger.
If we worked harder at that time, would we be able to keep what we want?Wouldn't there be so many regrets?
The birth of Yin Xuehan was not an accident, it was the inevitable result of stripping the demon blood when he refined the avatar.
He only gave Yin Xuehan the blood from his mother, hoping that this incarnation would have a clean life without any sins.
Yin Xuehan is actually no worse than he used to be, and even much stronger in some aspects.But Xia Rong still can't help but hate him for not being aggressive enough, not working hard enough, these negative emotions can't even be controlled by himself.
Perhaps, what he hated was never Yin Xuehan, but the weak self he used to be.
Yin Xuehan betrayed Mo Zong, he was secretly relieved.Staying is nothing but torturing each other, and separation is the best arrangement for them.
"Zuo Qi."
Outside the car window, Guardian Zuo, who was catching up, responded, "This subordinate is here."
"I give you a task and put it in the first priority."
Hearing these words, Guardian Zuo paid [-] points of attention: "My lord orders."
"Help Yin Xuehan chase Li Qingya."
Left Protector: ...
Hearing such an order from his career-minded boss suddenly, Zuo Hufa wondered if he had heard it wrong.But the monk's hearing is not so easy to go wrong. Although he doubted his life, he still responded: "Yes."
The author has something to say: Xia Rong in the past: What is emotion?Labor and capital only have careers.
Xia Rong now: No, I have to find a way to turn Li Qingya into my family.
Xia Rong now only understands why Yin Xuehan likes Li Qingya, not because he likes Li Qingya.
This is an old iron tree with a career brain of more than 500 years, and it is too difficult to bloom
But think about it, if Xia Rong becomes enlightened after Yin Xuehan chases Qingya... wouldn't it be very exciting
(The author is talking nonsense, don't take it seriously)
