I didn't expect you to be such a master

Xuanzang received the formula, stood with his hands behind his back, and called out: "Thank you." The disciples behind him came out in response, and after receiving his whispered instructions, they quickly led a few people away.Seeing this, the other sects also quickly ordered their capable disciples to go for reinforcements.

In an instant, most of the courtyard was empty.

Zilin lay weakly on the ground, his body still trembling slightly, at this moment even he himself didn't know whether he hoped that Cangheqin would stay in the ancient temple or leave.

However, he didn't make him wait for a long time. After a while, all the dozens of people came back—the ancient temple was empty, and there was no one in sight.

For a while, the crowd was furious, and they all said they were tricked by this little snake demon.

Xuanzhang waved his hand, leaned down and said, "Snake demon, I'll give you another chance, where is he?"

The young man turned his face slightly, his face was terribly pale, his lips opened and closed, and he let out a weak voice: "I...don't know."

There was a cold snort above his head.

Suddenly there was a scream, the light was clear and bright, the pain like a burning fire swept through his body again, and he even broke free from the restraint technique that was holding him back, causing him to roll on the ground in pain.

"I really don't know! Please...please..."

As soon as the light cleared, Xuanzhang's voice came down heavily: "Where is the person?"

"I really don't know, woo... I can't sense him..." The young man cried miserably, trembling and trying to curl up.

With a cold face, Xuanzang pinched the formula again.

The snake demon was concocted by him again and again, first he cried and called Cangheqin for help, then stopped crying after a few times, and just kept begging for mercy, and after several times, he didn't even have the strength to beg for mercy, his face and arms were bruised Black scales appeared faintly, and finally turned into a black snake as thick as a human waist.

Seeing that handsome young man turned into a black snake, everyone felt chills down their backs, and looked at the motionless black snake on the ground, their eyes full of disgust.

"It seems that there is nothing to ask about this snake demon."

Originally, he wanted to use this snake as bait to attract people to show up, but it was obviously a wrong idea.

"Cangheqin's contract with it seems to be an expedient strategy. If it hasn't communicated with him, naturally it won't come to save it."

"My lord Xuanzhang, this snake..."

"Since it's useless, let's get rid of it." With a movement of his finger, he wanted to erase the snake demon's true energy.

"Wait a minute." A voice suddenly sounded, and everyone followed the prestige.A paper fan pushed aside the crowd, and a white-faced scholar with a scholarly crown slowly came out.

But the scholar had been there since no one knew when, and everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.

"My lord Xuanzhang, Wenxian Sect will definitely help you with the matter you have entrusted, but..." The scholar stopped beside the black snake and knelt down, "This little snake is still useful to me. Since everyone feels It's useless, how about giving it to me?"

Who is this?Everyone looked at Xuanzang.

Xuanzhang frowned indistinctly, and introduced: "This one is the protector Chi of the Wenxian Sect. In the future, we will need the help of the Wenxian Sect to capture the Canghe Qin."

Turning to the scholar again, he said, "As you wish."

Chi Zheng bowed his hand in thanks, closed the folding fan, stroked his palm, and the black snake turned into a small snake as thick as a finger, curled up lifelessly.

Chi Zheng picked up the black snake with a folding fan, put it in his palm and held it, and sighed: "It's so pitiful."

"Finally woke up."

The young man opened his dry eyes, still a little dazed, and suddenly heard a familiar voice, calling out hesitantly: "A...Zheng..."

"That's not it." The man suddenly approached, with a pair of slightly smiling eyes, the folding fan lightly pressed against the boy's chin, and looked him up and down, "It's not a big problem."

Zi Lin closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, the double image in front of him finally turned into a familiar face of a young man, still looking like a gentle scholar, leaning against the bed and reading a book.

"I..." Zilin felt weak all over, tried to prop up his body, looked around, and saw that he was lying on a couch, and the surroundings seemed familiar—he had returned to Zuixiang Tower.

"Why am I here?" He asked weakly, he still vaguely remembered the conversations of those people before he passed out.He was treated as a pawn, a bait to lure Taoist priests to show up, but it turned out that he was just another insignificant pawn to Taoist priests.

The Taoist used him to make a golden cicada shed its shell, and he was that stupid cicada slough.

In fact, he also understood that if the Taoist priest showed up, the end would be that both of them would be captured.He also didn't want the Taoist priests to fall into their hands like this, but he was still aggrieved when he was left so simply and endured such torture alone.

It was really painful, like cutting a bone and gouging out a heart, a pain he had never experienced before.The pain made him roll all over the floor, cry bitterly, and even begged for mercy regardless.

For the first time he felt fear.

"Huh? Why are you shaking?" The young man stretched out his hand, embraced the trembling young man into his arms, and rubbed his shoulder, "It's all right, don't be afraid."

"A Zheng..." The sudden hug made Xiao Snake slightly startled.He and Chi Zheng just met by chance, but for some reason, every time he was in a desperate situation, it was often this young man who helped him out of trouble.He had a cup of tea with young people, and when he talked happily, he also had sex with young people in bed, but there was never a moment that was warmer than such a simple hug.

In an instant, my heart moved.

It's ok.

He thought that at least one person would worry about him and take him to heart.

Zilin rested his forehead on the young man's shoulder, felt the young man's comforting pat, and slowly calmed down.

The young man's hand patted on his shoulder stopped suddenly, his fingertips rubbed the small piece of skin on his shoulder, and he let out a soft "huh".

Zilin opened his eyes, turned his head to look, he was still wearing obscene clothes, there were still traces of torn cups on the hem of the clothes, and on the bare shoulders, the bright red and glaring deed seal was still there.

Zi Lin felt cold in his heart, and slowly let go of Chi Zheng.

He almost forgot that he was still controlled by others.The blood contract in Canghe's qin mouth, where everyone is prosperous and everyone is damaged, is unilaterally fulfilled on him. If it is not lifted, he will never be truly free.

His face was extremely ugly for a moment.

"This is... the seal?" The young man raised his eyebrows in surprise.

"Well, does Ah Zheng know this too?" Zi Lin was also surprised.

"I've heard about it." The young man's eyes flickered, looking at the bright imprint.Interesting, I thought it was a little snake without an owner, but I didn't think it belonged to me, but it was a bit difficult to handle.

Knowing that he has always been well-informed, Zi Lin quickly asked, "Then Ah Zheng, does he know of any way to break this blood contract?"

"Release?" The young man paused and looked at the little snake, "Are you serious?"

Zilin nodded without hesitation.

Seeing the look on the young man's face, he couldn't help rushing forward: "A Zheng, you know it, right?"

"Indeed..." Chi Zheng smiled, "but..."

"But what?" The little snake's eyes lit up, and he grabbed the young man.

But I'm afraid you can't stand it...

Chi Zheng was about to speak, but two knocks on the door interrupted what he was going to say.

"Who?"

"Fang Ping." The calm voice of the butler of Zuixianglou sounded outside the door.

The young man stuffed the little snake back under the quilt, and said to him: "I have something to do, I'll be right back." Then he turned and walked out.

Fang Ping waited respectfully outside the door, with a wooden face, he stepped forward and said: "The Thorn Mountain..."

After listening to the message sent, the young man casually responded, thinking: After waiting for a long time, the good show is finally about to begin.

As soon as the folding fan was put away, he ordered: "Let's go."

Thorn Mountain is located in the southeastern outskirts of the city. Even though it is midnight, the fire is still burning on the mountain, extending from the foot of the mountain all the way up.

Chi Zheng walked to the foot of the mountain, stopped suddenly, and admired this rather rare scene in silence for a while, a strange brilliance appeared in his eyes, as if he was extremely proud, but he tried his best to hold back, for a long time, the corners of his mouth curled up. Come on with a smile.

"Fang Ping." He said, "Tell me, if so many lives are exchanged for his own life, what kind of expression will this person have on his face if he wakes up and finds out?"

Hearing the words, the steward behind him just lowered his head even lower, and didn't dare to answer, because he knew that this question didn't need his answer.

The answer is already obvious.

"Presumably, it must be very exciting, very...to my liking." The young man said to himself.

The two detoured to the back of the mountain, and when they reached the mountainside, some disciples from our sect ran over in a panic. When they met the two of them, they were terrified and fell to their knees: "Chi, Chi Protector..."

Fang Ping came forward and shouted: "Why are you so flustered!"

That disciple was also here to report the letter, so he encountered this evil god halfway without defense. He was startled and frightened for a moment, and his heart was flustered. ..."

The young man's original calm expression suddenly faded away, his face was gloomy, and his eyes pierced the person in front of him with cold needles: "Where is the person?"

"Run, run away..." The disciple looked like he was about to cry, and looked at the downcast steward for help.

"It's really... trash." The young man said, his tone was very cold.

"My lord, the formation is broken, this person must not have gone far." The steward reminded.

Hearing this, the young man squeezed the fan tightly in his hand, walked quickly for a few steps, stopped suddenly, and said coldly: "I don't raise trash." He stretched out his hand to grab it lightly, and the disciple collapsed on the ground, and then he was half loose The tone of expression will be fixed on his face forever.

Not a moment later, a white and slightly transparent halo floated out from the top of the corpse. He wanted to escape, but was held tightly by the young man. The light ball slammed left and right, as if he was trying his best to escape, but he couldn't do anything about it. The young man didn't feel anything, and he was put into his sleeve in a short while, and fell silent.

"Let's go." The young man glanced at the steward lightly, his eyes seemed to see through everything.

Fang Ping didn't dare to raise his head, he knew that his careful thoughts just now couldn't hide from the person in front of him.

I wanted to help him.Glancing at the dead body on the ground, I didn't know that it was self-defeating, I'm afraid that even if this unlucky ghost died, he would be doing no good.

Fang Ping followed the young man at a quick pace, and he arrived at the place in a short while. There was a mess in front of him, and the carefully arranged Nine Absolute Execution Formation was completely destroyed.

The disciples guarding the formation were panicked, not knowing how such a powerful formation was broken, and even more afraid of the person they would face next.

"Nine Absolute Punishment Formation... Nine Absolute Punishment Formation...huh!" The young man's face was gloomy, "I can't even trap this person."

This formation was set up in the first place to guard against those monks.The deeper the cultivation, the stronger the backlash from the formation.Once you enter this formation, you will be trapped in it, isolated from the world, until your cultivation base is exhausted, your true energy is exhausted, and you will truly be immortal.

Suddenly, as if he remembered something, the young man's pupils shrank suddenly, and he rushed past the crowd and entered the entrance protected by the formation.

The rest of the people looked at each other in blank dismay, but they didn't dare to follow.This place is the forbidden area of ​​our sect, except for the leader and this protector, no one can enter, and no one dares to enter.

Chi Zheng walked quickly all the way, with a terrifying expression on his face, when the corridor suddenly widened and entered the secret place, his footsteps suddenly became lighter, as if he was afraid of waking up something.

It is just an ordinary secret room, there is neither rare treasures nor magical weapons, there is only a stone bed, and a small tripod beside the bed is emitting faint smoke.

Seeing this, the young man's frighteningly gloomy expression relaxed slightly, and he walked slowly to the stone bed, and took a closer look.

The young man on the stone bed was lying peacefully, his eyes straight, but his eyes were closed tightly, his face was as white as snow, and he had no breath at all.But I don't know how to preserve the body, just like a stranger, as if he just fell asleep.

When Chi Zheng saw this person, his expression finally softened, and he stroked that person's face with his fingertips.
