There is a demon at sunrise

At six o'clock in the afternoon on Christmas Day, in the basement of Sanyin Mansion.

The colleagues in charge of detection in the Sanyin Mansion said that there was a large-scale abnormality underground, and they have procedures for detecting monsters. When Qi Xiu heard about this for the first time, there was no fluctuation. If the current situation cannot measure a large-scale abnormality very strange.The colleagues from Sanyin Mansion probably also understood this point, but he also said that some of the changes came from the basement of Sanyin Mansion.

Qi Xiu frowned. He was still checking information with Meng Ji in the file room when he heard the news.

Qi Xiu was responsible for Sanyin Mansion, he looked at his watch and it was only six o'clock in the evening, and there were still three hours before the time agreed with Zhao Yao, Qi Xiu was going to see what happened in the basement.

There are 49 floors in the basement of Sanyin Mansion, and the place where the accident happened is in the deepest part of the basement. There is not even an elevator here, only a staircase built more than 500 years ago.The deepest floor of the basement was abandoned because it was flooded, and everything that should have been taken out of it was taken out. Now it has been abandoned for many years like a haunted house.

The stairs were forced to stop halfway, and the remaining section of the stairs was flooded, making the originally dark and damp basement even more cramped.This is a pool of stagnant water, and the water surface does not flow. Since entering, it is like entering a vacuum glass cover, and even the sound has disappeared.

It seems that a monster can emerge in the next moment.

Meng Ji followed behind Qi Xiu, his eyesight was better, and he probably glanced around the large monsters that did not have any unusual activities.

The flashlight in Qi Xiu's hand was scanning back and forth, hitting the water like spots of light. One of them was the head of Sanyin Mansion, and the other was the best searcher. Neither of them found anything weird.

"Let's go." Qi Xiu turned off the flashlight, and at the same time reported through the pager: "There is nothing abnormal in the basement."

"Got it." The colleague gave him feedback.

Qi Xiu wanted to take Meng Ji back to the file room, but at this moment, he found Meng Ji frozen in place.

"What is this?" Qi Xiu frowned.

A vine appeared on the wall. When the basement of the Sanyin Mansion was built, the entire archive room was buried more than 200 meters deep for safety.They saw a section of tree roots on the wall, and the dark green roots looked like a small snake climbing on the wall. According to common sense, they should be the roots of Jianmu Linye.Jian Mulinye's roots are all over every corner of the world, and all the roots are his eyes. He uses the roots to experience the whole world.Because of the large-scale chaos in the world, Jianmu has been forced to enter the "low energy consumption" mode, and is now in a semi-sleeping state, using all his strength to maintain the only order.

Many people are speculating that if Jianmu can't hold on, it will be meaningless even if Zhu Yan is killed, and the world has fallen into a state of disorder.

Different from the common roots of Jianmu, this section of roots is covered with a layer of thin red roots, like thin red ribbons wrapped around it.

The red silk thread lingers around the roots of Jianmu, which is as bright as poisonous.

"Don't move around!" Qi Xiu just wanted to stop him, but before he had time, Meng Ji had already stretched out his hand, his fingertips covered the roots, and he closed his eyes as if he was feeling something. He is a very good detector.

Qi Xiu has been looking at him very worriedly. Among the monsters, plants are the most difficult to solve. When encountering those things that can eat people, they will absorb the whole person and become the nourishment of plants.Qi Xiu felt like he was facing an enemy, and if Meng Ji felt any discomfort, he would terminate the survey.

But Meng Ji closed his eyes, his long eyelashes drooped down, his expression was very serene, he looked like a well-behaved cat.

After a while, the red light of the vine became more intense, Meng Ji withdrew his hand as if he had been scalded, Qi Xiu had already summoned a spell, and wanted to seal this thing directly, Meng Ji stopped him, "Don't move."

The spell stopped in the air.

"It's Fusang," Meng Ji's voice suddenly became very bright, as if something good happened, "The Fusang tree has woken up."

Qi Xiu didn't show any superfluous expression, and said as if he didn't hear: "Go up and talk about it."

Meng Ji walked very fast. He seemed to want to confirm his conjecture. As soon as he arrived at the archives room, he began to rummage around. Finally, he found a book of Wan Yao, pointed to a page and said, "It's really Fusang .”

The hibiscus tree has been silent for many years and rarely appears. People have not seen it for more than 1000 years. Why does the hibiscus appear?Because Jianmu is dying?

Fusang covered Jianmu's body, did he want to replace it or help Jianmu maintain stability?

Meng Ji couldn't think too much, so he searched for records about hibiscus in the storage room on the second floor. He said, "Fusang trees can make wishes."

"There are other ways." Meng Ji seemed to have dug a source of water in the desert, and said, "Zhao Yao doesn't have to die."

He didn't notice Qi Xiu's indifference beside him.

"It's already seven o'clock in the evening." Qi Xiu was very different from Meng Ji's excitement. He adjusted his watch. The time he made an appointment with Zhao Yao was nine o'clock in the evening. Nothing could stop this.

Meng Ji hurriedly stood up and said, "Are you still going?"

"Why don't you go?" Qi Xiu remained calm. Zhao Yao chose him because he was ruthless enough and had no partiality or selfishness towards Zhao Yao. "Zhao Yao wants to die with all his heart, what do you have to worry about?"

Meng Ji felt that Qi Xiu was simply unreasonable, "Why don't you try other methods?"

Qi Xiu sneered: "Do you make me believe in another monster?"

"That's the divine tree..."

Qi Xiu knew what Meng Ji was going to say, so he interrupted: "That's a monster, what kind of sacred tree, to me it's a monster."

"Isn't the price people paid enough to summon Zhu Yan?" Qi Xiu felt that Meng Ji was ignorant, "Do you know what the price is for summoning Fusang?"

The hibiscus tree is the complete opposite of the Jianmu tree. Jianmu has a gentle and charitable personality, just like the living Virgin Mary.The hibiscus tree is buried deep in the ground, and it is difficult to generalize it as good or evil. The only thing that is certain is that it only appears where there is blood and bones.To make a deal with the Fusang tree, you need to pay your own blood or demon bones, and the Fusang tree only accepts the exchange of monsters above the second rank.And he is extremely stingy in the matter of petitioning, the one who can control Fusang is at least a first-rank demon.

Qi Xiu said: "Killing Zhao Yao can stop it. At least this matter has been practiced by the Xie family for more than 1000 years. Don't you try the experience of your ancestors?" A valid truth that has been practiced many times.

It is not surprising that this sentence came out of Qi Xiu's mouth. Qi Xiu is such a person, his absolute interests are paramount, and even being the head of the Sanyin Mansion is to prolong his life.It was probably Qi Xiu's inexplicable confession that made Meng Ji have different expectations for him. At this moment, he only felt a burst of disappointment. Meng Ji gritted his teeth: "Sometimes you are really annoying."

Qi Xiu looked at his watch, probably felt that there was still time left, and said, "Then let me ask you another way, Xie Wuhui and so many wizarding families haven't found a solution in 1000 years, why do you think you will succeed?"

Meng Ji blurted out: "That's because we didn't exist back then." Because man is determined to conquer nature, Xie Wuhui in 1000 years did not meet Meng Ji, Yu Shu who protected him growing up, and his father who was so good to him. When Zhao Yao met 1000 years later, they would spare no effort to help him, and they would not just watch him die.

This is the biggest difference between the people of Sanyin Mansion and the Xie family.

If Zhao Yao needs to be responsible for this matter, all those who take care of Zhao Yao's growth must also be responsible, including Meng Ji, who is willing to take responsibility.

Look at how arrogant this sentence is. Meng Ji is indeed the biggest spokesperson for romanticism. He speaks like his mother is dreaming. Qi Xiu sneered, "What are you, Meng Ji? You are a leopard."

Meng Ji's chest heaved violently, probably because Qi Xiu was so angry that he didn't want to say anything, "Can't you go?"

Qi Xiu didn't answer this question right away. He knew that Meng Ji was giving him a chance. He had thought about this plan carefully, but he had to be responsible for the world. It didn't matter if the Sanyin Palace was destroyed in his hands. It cannot be destroyed in his hands, he said, "Sorry."

Meng Ji laughed when he heard that, Qi Xiu rarely saw Meng Ji showing such an expression, it was very mocking, it was different from his usual indifference.Meng Ji's fists were clenched and hanging on his legs, his bangs on his forehead covered his eyes, when he raised his head again, his hair suddenly turned white, Qi Xiu frowned, and Meng Ji turned into a demon.

As soon as he realized this, Meng Ji had already rushed towards him, the impact of the leopard was absolutely superior, Qi Xiu had no time to dodge and was knocked to the ground by Meng Ji the next moment.Qi Xiu's back slammed into the wall, and a portrait of the head of the Sanyin Palace fell down with a bang.There was a gap in physical strength between the monster and an undefended wizard, and Qi Xiu's internal organs were almost displaced by the impact. Meng Ji wanted to force Qi Xiu to stay.

Qi Xiu touched the corner of his mouth, and a stream of blood spread in his mouth.

Meng Ji took off his jacket and only wore a black turtleneck sweater, he clenched his fists and rushed towards Qi Xiu for the second time.

Qi Xiu didn't sit still, the moment Meng Ji rushed over, he leaned down and hugged the opponent's waist, and directly threw Meng Ji to the ground.They fought in a cramped space. The two had fought each other in the practice room for many years, and being familiar with each other's moves was like being familiar with each other themselves.Their figures fought together and bumped into the files next to them, and those ancient files fell down overwhelmingly, covering the two of them like snow.

The two have been with each other for more than 300 years, and they know each other's weaknesses better than the other.Qi Xiu punched Meng Ji in the abdomen, and when Meng Ji bent down in pain, a handcuff suddenly appeared and handcuffed Meng Ji to the iron pipe above.The handcuffs have a seal, and the monsters that are handcuffed will be suppressed.But Meng Ji didn't admit defeat at all, his right hand was handcuffed, so he used his right leg as support, and suddenly struck out with his left foot, kicking Qi Xiu's chest with the force of the wind.

Meng Ji was much more difficult to deal with than he thought. Qi Xiu was kicked upright, and his face hit the wall on the other side. He snapped his fingers, and a spell that appeared out of thin air "sticked" Meng Ji's left hand to the wall. On the top, it has the same effect as the demon-locking ring on Zhao Yao's neck, and the red mantra is glowing.

Qi Xiu pinched Meng Ji's ankle out of thin air, the opponent's legs were superior in strength and not so easy to control, but under the effect of spells and handcuffs, he was not so flawless.Qi Xiu pinched Meng Ji's ankle and bent him up little by little. This movement was very difficult for ordinary people, but the opponent was a leopard, and Qi Xiu didn't stop until he pressed his thigh to his abdomen.

The two of them were very close, almost flesh to flesh, Qi Xiu's breath could spray his face, and he said: "Little Leopard, you still need to practice your fighting skills."

"Let go!" Meng Ji gritted his teeth.

Qi Xiu didn't listen, Meng Ji was hanged with both hands upside down, one hand was handcuffed, and the other was a red charm pressing his wrist, his face flushed under the influence of the demon locking spell, and there were fine beads of sweat on his forehead.

Because of the posture with both hands hanging, the sweater is turned up, revealing a section of white waistline, which I really want to be touched.

In fact, Qi Xiu did the same. He touched Meng Ji's waist with one hand. Meng Ji's waist was like a piece of very cold jade, with tight and cold muscles. Qi Xiu's hand was rough and warm. Meng Ji was trembling all over.

"Go away!" Meng Ji turned his head, he hated this strange feeling, "You...uh..." Meng Ji's eyes widened, his bound hands were clenched tightly, and the muscles of his forearms were tight. tense.

He didn't say the second half of the sentence.

Qi Xiu was kissing him.

And he was tightly imprisoned here, with no room for escape.

Qi Xiu pinched his ankle with one hand and put his arm around his waist with the other, biting his lower lip fiercely. Sometimes people are more beastly than monsters, Qi Xiu dared not do anything to Meng Ji, fearing that he would be frightened.

Meng Ji's expression was very embarrassing, like a cat that has been bullied hard, "Get out, get out!"

Qi Xiu let go of him, and smiled helplessly, now Meng Ji probably hated him to the core.Meng Ji didn't know that Qi Xiu went there with the determination to kill Zhu Yan, what kind of mission was this?Even if Zhao Yao wanted to die, Zhu Yan might not obediently cooperate.A human being who wants to assassinate Zhu Yan must pay the price with his life.He glanced at his watch and said, "It's time for me to go, it's too late if I don't go."

He still remembers the agreement with Zhao Yao.

Qi Xiu has never changed, and has always been so cold-blooded and ruthless, why did Meng Ji think that he could change him?

"Qi Xiu!" Meng Ji yelled at Qi Xiu, Qi Xiu had already walked out, but at this moment he stopped abruptly.

Meng Ji shook his wrist vigorously, trying to forcefully tear off the handcuffs on it.

Meng Ji stared at him viciously, Qi Xiu always thought that he would say some cruel words, similar to "I'm going to kill you." Or "I hate you."

Meng Ji looked at him for a while, then lowered his head as if admitting defeat, the little white hair covered his eyes, and said softly, "I won't let you be my love/interest pet anymore."

His hair was messy, and there seemed to be a layer of mist in his eyes. It was the first time Qi Xiu knew that he was such an asshole, and he almost made this little leopard cry.
