In that distant little black house

Originally, the three of them were defeated by the great city lord, but they didn't expect this amazing scene to happen suddenly. Neither Zhang Jingmo, Ao Mian, nor the great city lord himself understood why this happened.

However, in the battle of masters, the victory and defeat are all in the blink of an eye. Just when the city lord was suddenly injured, Lu Guijiu seized the opportunity and stabbed the city lord in the waist and abdomen with a sword.

The big city lord was injured and retreated, his face turned pale, his originally relaxed eyes suddenly turned cold, and a purple light appeared in his dark eyes.

Seeing this, Lu Guijiu's heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help but activate the Blood Prison Heavenly Book inside him. However, he was still far behind the Great Castellan in cultivation. They were all shaken away.

"Interesting, interesting." The city lord's eyes scanned Zhang Jingmo and Ao Mian, and finally fixed his gaze on Zhang Jingmo, he said: "I still wonder where you have the courage to come here to fight with me, it turns out Already had the trump card."

However, up until this moment, Zhang Jingmo and the others didn't know what the trump card in the city lord's mouth meant. They had only one thought in their hearts - since the city lord would be injured, it's not like they had no chance at all.

Not daring to waste any more time, the three of them just paused for a moment before attacking again.

This time the four of them were fighting together, the situation changed vaguely, Zhang Jingmo found that the city lord no longer attacked him, but concentrated on dealing with Lu Guijiu and Ao Mian.

Zhang Jingmo was not dull, seeing this scene, a guess suddenly appeared in his mind.

But this conjecture did not make Zhang Jingmo feel at ease. His eyes flickered slightly, and he made a move that made Lu Guijiu extremely frightened——Zhang Jingmo actually dodged to meet the sword of the great city lord.

Unbelievable scenes happened one after another. Lu Guijiu thought that Zhang Jingmo was injured by the city lord, but he didn't expect that the sword blade that had already stabbed Zhang Jingmo turned abruptly—the city lord didn't want to hurt Zhang Jingmo!

The sudden change made Zhang Jingmo's conjecture finally confirmed. He laughed in a low voice, but Lu Guijiu felt that the laughter was particularly penetrating.

Before Lu Guijiu could say anything, he saw Zhang Jingmo turn his head to look at him. There was an indifference in his eyes that shocked Lu Guijiu. Zhang Jingmo said, "Lu Guijiu, you are very good. .”

Lu Guijiu trembled all over. He didn't understand what Zhang Jingmo meant, but he could tell from Zhang Jingmo's expression that his master was probably very angry.

angry?What are you angry about?Lu Guijiu really wanted to ask Zhang Jingmo in detail, but the situation at this time would not give him a chance. The city lord turned his sword from Zhang Jingmo and pointed at Ao Mian. Obviously, he didn't want to hurt Zhang Jingmo at all.

If the former city lord had no flaws, then the current him has exposed a fatal weakness inexplicably. He didn't dare to hurt Zhang Jingmo, so he became more restrained when fighting.

However, Zhang Jingmo seemed to be dying, and bumped into the offensive of the big city lord again and again. The number of times was too many, and he was finally injured by the big city lord once or twice.

And whenever the city lord hurts Zhang Jingmo, a cloud of blood will burst out from his chest—obviously, as long as the damage he inflicts on Zhang Jingmo, it will bounce back to himself!

Even Ao Mian was extremely puzzled at this moment, but with such a good opportunity in front of him, no amount of doubts had to be resolved later.Ao Mian let out a low cry, and his whole body's aura changed, it was actually a bit stronger than before.

It took only a few hours for the city lord to be in a mess from being able to handle it easily at the beginning. He looked at Zhang Jingmo very strangely, as if he was looking at some monster.

Zhang Jingmo's face was as sinking as water, and the offensive was done in one go. Although he was injured by the big city lord, it was some skin trauma, which was not a problem at all. On the other hand, the big city lord, none of the three of them could attack the big city lord. Several deep cuts—and all in vital places.

At this time, the three of them have been fighting in the illusion for more than a day, and the external time may have passed dozens of days. If it continues to drag on, once Lianjun finds out that something is wrong, not only will they not be able to kill the big city lord, but the three of them will probably die. To break down here.

Ao Mian communicated with Zhang Jingmo and Lu Guijiu via voice transmission: "It can't be delayed any longer."

Zhang Jingmo said: "Yes."

Ao Mian said: "I want to leave the Jushen Tree, you two seize the opportunity."

Zhang Jingmo said: "Your body..."

Ao Mian said: "I have my own measure."

The God-gathering Wood can protect Ao Mian from dissipating, but at the same time it will also limit his ability. If the power he uses is too strong, the God-gathering Wood will collapse directly if he cannot bear it, and if Ao Mian leaves the God-gathering Tree for too long, he will Dissipate directly into the illusion.

This move is like breaking the boat, and if you don't succeed, you will be benevolent.

When Lu Guijiu and Zhang Jingmo heard Ao Mian's words, they both bit the tip of their tongues, spewed a mouthful of blood, and then used the blood as a guide to run the magic arts in their bodies to the extreme.

The three of them suddenly exerted their strength, and while receiving the move, the city lord had to worry about Zhang Jingmo, and was injured by Ao Mian several times due to a little carelessness.

The city lord is almost invincible in the demon clan. How could he have received such suppression? As Zhang Jingmo and the other three gained the upper hand, his face became more and more ugly. When he was cornered, he roared angrily: "I want to see how much you can hurt me today!" When he said this, he ignored Zhang Jingmo and attacked Zhang Jingmo.

Zhang Jingmo didn't expect the city lord to attack him suddenly. He had always wanted the city lord to hurt him, so he didn't take any precautions. Now, the city lord stabbed him with a sword and fell directly from the air.

After the Dacheng Lord's sword pierced Zhang Jingmo's body, his expression changed drastically. He opened his mouth to say something, but a dozen puffs of blood mist erupted from his body in an instant, and then his body exploded directly, just so abruptly—dead.

Even Ao Mian, who has seen the big world like this, was stunned, let alone Lu Guijiu.

Fortunately, he was stunned for only a moment, when Lu Guijiu saw Zhang Jingmo falling from mid-air, he hurried forward to catch his master.

Zhang Jingmo was hit by a sword in his chest, and the place where the sword was hit was filled with a strong purple air, and the wound could not heal at all.

The city lord died suddenly, and his body was shattered into dozens of pieces. Ao Mian stepped forward to check, and after confirming that the city lord was indeed dead and could not die again, he returned to Zhang Jingmo's side.

Although Zhang Jingmo was seriously injured, he still breathed a sigh of relief. With shaking hands, he took out the beating heart from the Xu Mi ring, and used it on himself.

After using it for the last time, the heart gradually petrified into a gray stone, and then turned into powder in Zhang Jingmo's hands.

Seeing that Zhang Jingmo recovered from his injuries, Lu Guijiu breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Master..."

But he didn't want Zhang Jingmo to push him away, and said expressionlessly: "Don't call me master."

Lu Guijiu looked bewildered, and didn't understand why Zhang Jingmo's attitude had changed so much. Zhang Jingmo didn't even look at Lu Guijiu, and said bluntly, "Senior Ao, what I want."

Ao Mian waved away the illusion and said, "It should be nearby."

Zhang Jingmo searched in the stone room again, and he really found the nest of emerald green baby-wiring grass. He put the grass in Xu Mi Jie, and then returned to Ao Mian and Lu Guijiu.

Lu Guijiu stood still on the spot, and he called out, "Master."

Zhang Jingmo said irritably, "Don't call me."

Ao Mian's eyes swept over the two, and he said: "He is dead."

Zhang Jingmo didn't expect that the city lord would die so simply, it was almost like a dream, he said, "Where's Yuanying?"

Ao Mian shook his head: "It seems to be annihilated together with the body."

Zhang Jingmo sneered: "He can do anything to himself."

Ao Mian until the inexplicable death of the great city lord must have something to do with Zhang Jingmo, but since Zhang Jingmo didn't want to talk about it, he didn't want to ask either.

Now that the great city lord is dead, he understands what is in his heart. If the human race is still beaten and retreated in the next battle between humans and demons, then it is out of his control.

Because Ao Mian's body left Jushenmu, he became weaker in a short period of time. It seems that his cultivation has dropped from the late Nascent Soul to the middle Nascent Soul.

Zhang Jingmo said: "Senior, I know where there are soul-gathering objects..."

But he didn't want Ao Mian to shake his head, he said flatly: "I'm just a phantom. After ten thousand years, I can still see this great river and mountain, and do something for future generations. That's enough. If I leave, I will leave."

Zhang Jingmo wanted to persuade him again, but seeing Ao Mian's resolute expression, he had no choice but to keep his mouth shut.

After the illusion dissipated, the entire stone room was filled with a strong smell of blood, and the body of the great city lord was scattered on the ground in a mess. Ao Mian said: "Let's go."

Zhang Jingmo nodded.

Lu Guijiu has been left aside by Zhang Jingmo, he really doesn't understand what he did wrong to make his master react like this.

Lu Shu said lazily, "Relax, your master has this kind of temperament... Seeing him like this makes me feel more at ease than the way he treated you tenderly a few months ago."

Lu Guijiu frowned: "No, it's different this time...Master, you hate me."

Lu Shu said: "Hate you? Why do you hate you? The great city lord is dead, and the crisis of mankind is lifted. I don't think he is too happy. You see, I am very happy." Wanting to be lost in this illusion, he didn't expect that the great city lord died inexplicably. Although the death was very strange, since Ao Mian said that he was dead, it must be dead.

After killing the great city lord, the three of them turned into a cloud of smoke and slipped out of the stone room.

After doing such a good deed, Lu Guijiu thought that Zhang Jingmo would return to the Lingxu Sect to announce the good news to everyone, but he didn't want him to fly to a barren land.

Lu Guijiu followed Zhang Jingmo all the time, not daring to ask anything, until Zhang Jingmo stopped on a cliff, turned his head to look at him, and carefully asked, "Master, what's wrong with you?"

Zhang Jingmo called out: "Lu Guijiu."

Lu Guijiu had an intuition that it was not a good thing for Zhang Jingmo to call him like this, and as expected, Zhang Jingmo's next sentence was: "I have been with you as a teacher and apprentice for hundreds of years, but in the end I still don't know you well enough."

Lu Guijiu was at a loss, not knowing what Zhang Jingmo meant.

When Zhang Jingmo and Lu Guijiu were talking, Ao Mian stood silently behind them, not intending to interrupt at all.

Zhang Jingmo said: "Lu Guijiu, how do I treat you?"

Lu Guijiu nodded slowly, a kind of panic arose in his heart, as if what Zhang Jingmo was going to say next was very important.

Sure enough, Zhang Jingmo's next sentence was: "Haven't you been looking for a way to bring the fake baby back to life? I have one here."

Lu Guijiu felt that when he heard this sentence, he should have been happy, but Zhang Jingmo's expression made him unable to laugh, and he said, "Master, what can I do?"

Zhang Jingmo said: "There is a technique that can revive a fake baby, but..."

Lu Guijiu's heart tightened slightly, and he said, "Just what?"

Zhang Jingmo said with a half-smile, "I just need a monk who has passed the heavenly calamity, and then sacrifice his Nascent Soul."

Lu Guijiu was suddenly blindsided. Looking at Zhang Jingmo's smiling face, he felt chills all over his body. Just when he didn't know how to react, his lips opened automatically, and then spit out I missed that good word.

Lu thought that killing the big city lord had already stimulated him enough, but Zhang Jingmo was still waiting for him here. He felt that if he had eyes, he might have been blind from crying. He said: "Lu Guijiu, you Don't be impulsive, listen clearly to what your master wants, what he wants is your Nascent Soul, if you lose your Nascent Soul, even a little Taoist priest on the side of the road can bully you!"

Lu Guijiu ignored Lu Shu, his mood swings seemed to last for only a moment, and then he returned to his docile appearance in front of Zhang Jingmo, and he said, "Master, what should I do?"

Zhang Jingmo looked at Lu Guijiu, and said calmly, "Take your Nascent Soul for mine."

Lu Guijiu said: "That is to say, my Nascent Soul will always be in Master's body?"

Zhang Jingmo was right.

Lu Guijiu smiled, and said, "That's really great."

Seeing that Lu Guijiu's smile didn't seem fake, Zhang Jingmo frowned and said, "Lu Guijiu, you have to think clearly, if you give me the Nascent Soul, I will be the only one who ascends to the immortal world."

Lu Guijiu said, "It's okay."

Zhang Jingmo said: "After I ascend, you will die alone in this world."

Lu Guijiu said, "It's okay."

Zhang Jingmo: "..."

Lu Guijiu said slowly: "Master, as long as you are happy, I am willing to do whatever you want."

Hearing this, Zhang Jingmo really wanted to dig out Lu Guijiu's brain to see what was inside. He said, "Do you know what you are doing?" Podojiu still looks like he's okay, what he wants to replace is Nascent Soul!Not something casual!

Lu Guijiu said: "But Master gave birth to a fake baby because of me."

Zhang Jingmo only felt a puff of breath in his chest and made him uncomfortable. Although he didn't want to admit it, the scene he imagined in his mind was completely different from Lu Guijiu's reaction in front of him.

Zhang Jingmo didn't expect at all that Lu Guijiu not only didn't refuse his request, he didn't even get angry at all.It was as if the person in front of him would tolerate and endure no matter what he did.

Zhang Jingmo shook his head, he said: "Lu Guijiu, I really can't see through you."

What happened to the Great City Lord has proved that his reincarnation is inseparable from Lu Guijiu. In the first life, Lu Guijiu not only imprisoned him, humiliated him, and finally did not let him go after his death. Him, let him be reincarnated in this endless void.

But now, what is going on with this Lu Guijiu who is willing to give everything for him?Zhang Jingmo was even ready to turn against Lu Guijiu, but he never expected that Lu Guijiu would still gently agree to his request.The eyes he looked at him were still full of love, but there was some painful emotion in the love.

Lu Shu knew that he couldn't persuade Lu Guijiu anymore, he said blankly: "I knew it, I knew it...Lu Guijiu, you will be ruined by your master, you will be ruined by your master... ..."

Lu Guijiu still ignored Lu Shu, and put all his attention on Zhang Jingmo, he smiled: "Master, I have always felt...you are more like a god than me."

Zhang Jingmo didn't speak.

Lu Guijiu said: "At that time, I knew that the master was conceiving a fake baby. My first thought was that it would be great if I could replace my baby with a master. Now, it would be fine."

Zhang Jingmo said, "Stop talking."

Lu Guijiu said: "A few days ago, I was very happy with Master in the Lingxu sect, but that kind of life always made me feel like I was dreaming..." Now that I woke up from the dream, it felt real up.

Zhang Jingmo suppressed his anger, and said, "I told you to stop talking!"

Lu Guijiu lowered his head and stopped talking.

The two fell silent.

Lu Guijiu stared at the ground under his feet, but he didn't know what he was thinking. Lu Shu was still yelling in Lu Guijiu's mind. Seeing that Lu Guijiu hadn't responded for a long time, he said in despair: "Lu Guijiu, can you Have you ever thought that even without your master, you can get to where you are today?"

Lu Guijiu said, "So what."

Lu Shu said: "Your master may have been using you from the beginning, he knows you are talented..."

Lu Guijiu said: "If Master hadn't taken me to the secluded cave, how would I have met you?"

Lu Shu was taken aback.

Lu Guijiu said: "In the world of comprehension, if you haven't encountered the ten absolute spiritual veins in the "Blood Prison Book", can you be called talented and intelligent?"

Lu Shu said: "But you are the child of destiny, don't you know how good your luck is? Even if you don't meet me, you will meet other adventures. In short, in short, even if you don't have your master, you will still You can definitely go to a very high position!"

Lu Guijiu said: "You don't need to say more, I have already decided."

Lu Shu: "..." When he heard Lu Guijiu's words, he let out a long sigh, and finally stopped trying to persuade Lu Guijiu. What he had been worrying about had become a reality, and while he was angry, he felt a little relieved. The feeling of breath.

The atmosphere froze to the extreme, Zhang Jingmo's voice sounded slowly, and he said: "Since you have made a decision, let's not waste time."

Lu Guijiu said: "Master..."

Zhang Jingmo was still a little hesitant on this matter. He didn't know whether he should test Lu Guijiu like this, but after the death of the great city lord, his soft heart became as hard as iron again.

Zhang Jingmo took out a book of spells from Xu Mi Jie, and threw it in front of Lu Guijiu, he said: "Practice, we will start after 81 days."

Lu Guijiu bent down, picked up the magic weapon, and held it in his hand.

Zhang Jingmo glanced at Lu Guijiu, shook his sleeves, and Yufeng flew away.

Lu Guijiu didn't say anything, just sat cross-legged on the spot, turning up the Fa Jue in front of him.

Ao Mian, who had been watching the master and apprentice from behind, also followed Zhang Jingmo to Yufeng.

When Zhang Jingmo stopped on the top of the mountain, Ao Mian said, "Why didn't you tell him?"

Zhang Jingmo was expressionless: "Tell him what?"

Ao Mian said: "Of course it's about the baby-forming grass..."

Zhang Jingmo said: "After that."

Ao Mian frowned: "Your apprentice will definitely not be so sad."

Zhang Jingmo said indifferently: "Whether he is hurt or not is none of my business."

Ao Mian said helplessly: "I really don't understand you, master and student..."

Zhang Jingmo sighed: "It's not just that you don't understand, I don't understand myself." After he finished speaking, he smiled self-deprecatingly.

Ao Mian said: "What are you going to do next?"

Zhang Jingmo said: "Next? I will exchange Nascent Soul with him and ascend to the fairy world."

Ao Mian asked suspiciously: "Then when are you going to tell him about the baby knot grass?"

Zhang Jingmo smiled, and took out the green grass from Xumi's ring. This grass is no more than the size of a palm, and it looks very ordinary. If it is a monk who is not yet a baby, he will not be able to see the strong power of heaven lingering on it , I'm afraid everyone will think that this grass is a weed on the side of the road.

Zhang Jingmo said: "Senior Ao Mian, this junior wants to entrust you with one thing."

Ao Mian said: "Say."

Zhang Jingmo said: "I will entrust this grass to you for safekeeping for the time being. After I ascend to the fairy world, can you give it to Lu Guijiu again?"

Ao Mian frowned, he said: "Why are you doing this? Wouldn't it be good to ascend with him?"

Zhang Jingmo said: "This matter is too complicated, and I don't know where to go... In short, I will leave this matter to seniors."

Ao Mian stared at Zhang Jingmo for a long time, but still couldn't understand what Zhang Jingmo was thinking. He said he was selfish, but he had already prepared a retreat for Lu Guijiu. He said he was selfless, but why did he make such a choice?

Ao Mian could already imagine how painful and desperate Lu Guijiu must have felt when he watched Zhang Jingmo fly up to the fairy world.

Forget it, he was just a bystander, and he had no right to comment on what happened between Zhang Jingmo and Lu Guijiu, but he couldn't bear to watch the master and apprentice torture each other.

Seeing that Ao Mian nodded in response to his entrustment, Zhang Jingmo sighed softly, and moved his gaze to the blue sky again.
