Brother, can you save me again?

In the early morning, there was no one there, only the dew that had not yet evaporated on the bluestone slabs. There was a sound of footsteps in an unmanned winding alley.

Qi Hong held Xu Zeran in his arms and stopped in this deserted alley. When he reached the place, he lowered his head and whispered to Xu Zeran in his arms: "Senior brother, there is no one else."

Xu Zeran, who had been silent in his arms all this time, suddenly moved. He hastily broke free from Qi Hong's arms and stood up. He took two steps back, keeping a distance of one meter from Qi Hong, and then Xu Zeran stopped.

Because of his actions, the black cloak fell to the blue stone slab, and was soon soaked by the wet dew.

Qi Hong bent down to pick up the cloak, and said warmly: "Brother, put it on, it's cold now."

The mask on his face has been taken off, and a pair of smiling eyes are staring at Xu Zeran just like that. Xu Zeran's attire, being seen by these eyes, makes him want to find a crack in the ground.

Seeing that Qi Hong was about to step forward, Xu Zeran quickly stretched out his arms to stop him: "Wait."

Qi Hong stopped in his tracks.

Xu Zeran asked, "How did you recognize that it was mine?"

He felt that his camouflage was well done, and he never revealed his secrets.

Seeing his system that revealed his secrets once in a while: […]

Qi Hong's eyes turned on his face twice before he smiled and said, "I learned some ways to recognize other people's disguise at the bottom of Du'e Cliff, so the senior brother's disguise is useless to me."

After thinking for a while, he said again: "But the yellow stuff on the face of senior brother does have some miraculous effects, which ordinary immortal cultivators can't see through."

After Xu Zeran was explained in this way, the atmosphere in his heart, but he had no reason to refute Qi Hong, after all, he was found out because he was not good at pretending, and he couldn't blame others.

But did Qi Hong go to the bottom of the cliff to suffer or go to university? !

Xu Zeran was speechless for a long time, and asked again: "How did you get out? Did the people in Xunling City let you go?"

As soon as he asked this question, he realized that he was asking for nothing. He is the protagonist, and he has broken through the barren domain. Isn't it easy to break out of Xunling City's detention?

But Qi Hong still replied seriously: "I can also come out for a short time in the evening, and I will go back later."

Qi Hong waved his hand, he was not in the mood to ask about Qi Hong's behavior in Weiyang Pavilion just now, he said weakly: "You go."

But he didn't wait for Qi Hong to leave.

A burst of warmth covered Xu Zeran from the head, Xu Zeran raised his eyes, and saw Qi Hong was fastening his cloak belt with lowered eyebrows.

Seeing Xu Zeran looking over, Qi Hong said softly: "Brother, with this appearance, it will be troublesome if you bump into Zhong Yu and Pei Qiexing when you go back. Use this to cover it up, so you won't be able to tell that it's your brother."

As soon as Qi Hong reminded him of his outfit, Xu Zeran simply broke the can and broke it. He imitated the look of the dude in the TV series, curled his lips, raised his chin and asked Qi Hong: "How is it, senior brother, does he look good like this?"

He asked this question with the intention of embarrassing himself if he wasn't embarrassed, and embarrassing Qi Hong, but Qi Hong looked at Xu Zeran carefully.

He was already taller than Xu Zeran, but when Xu Zeran raised his head like this, Qi Hong lowered his eyes, and his eyes seemed to be oppressive.Xu Zeran thought he was very imposing, but he didn't know that he was trapped in a soft cloak, his eyebrows were barely covered by the cloak, looking from Qi Hong's direction, he could only see his chin exposed in the air and his reddish cheeks. lip.

It's really not lethal, it's like glutinous rice balls just out of the pot.

Qi Hong replied very seriously: "Senior brother looks very beautiful this way."

As he said this, a voice suddenly sounded in Xu Zeran's head.

[Drip, the system detects that the evaluation value of the target Qi Hong’s kindness has increased by 5 points, which is -61 points; the original accumulated score of the host Xu Zeran has increased by 25 points, to 75 points. 】

Xu Zeran: "...?!"

What's your hobby, brother? !

Perhaps Xu Zeran's gaze was too strange, Qi Hong pulled down the hat on the cloak again to make sure that Xu Zeran's face was covered, and said: "Brother, go back quickly, I'm going back too."

Xu Zeran went back to the yard in such a daze, and when everything was cleared up, he didn't expect the first extra points to come so suddenly and... weirdly.

Could it be that Qi Hong's hobby is to look at other people's women's clothing?

Xu Zeran clicked his tongue.Your circle is really chaotic.

But soon he didn't have the mind to worry about these things.

Because on the second day after going back, Xu Zeran found that his arms started to turn black.

In the beginning, it was just some small black thread-like things growing out of the wrist, but within three or four hours, Xu Zeran's left arm was already covered with criss-crossing things, which were hidden under the skin, like black blood vessels.When Xu Zeran reached out to touch it, there was something unknown wriggling underneath.

At first, he thought it was Tianlu Immortal Chu Yunliu who discovered that he did not cooperate with the killer to kill Qi Hong, so he activated the Gu poison planted in his body.

But this claim was rejected by the system.

The system told him: [This thing is called the Sacrifice Curse, which is a curse only cast by demons. 】

Xu Zeran raised his eyebrows: "Sacrifice curse? What is this?"

The system said: [It is to plant a seed in your body, and this seed will quickly take root and germinate in your body. No matter where you are, you will find him involuntarily, sacrifice yourself to him, and let him ask for it. 】

Xu Zeran was taken aback: "When did I plant this seed curse?"

The system said: [What kind of seed curse, it is a sacrificial curse.As for when it was planted, it can only be said last night. 】

"Is there no way to undo this curse?"

[Yes, there is, as long as a stronger demon kills the person who cast the curse on you, it can be solved. 】

When Xu Zeran heard his words, his heart fell to the bottom.

But the system immediately came up cheaply; [Don't be sad, isn't there still me here? 】

After staying with this incomprehensible system for a long time, Xu Zeran knew that it had something to say when he heard this: "Speak up if you have something to say."

The system beeped excitedly: [Brother, do you consider buying an antidote with your unrefundable twenty points? 】

Before Xu Zeran could react, the system began to persuasion: [Anyway, the demons have been found now, and the life-saving bugs you bought for twenty cents are useless. It’s not worth it to return it. You bought ours. The antidote, you keep the appearance of being cursed on the outside, but you are no longer under the control of the demons inside. You can use this curse to find the demons in turn, and wouldn’t it be beautiful to wipe them out in one fell swoop? 】

Xu Zeran was amused in his heart, but he also felt that what he said was correct, he thought about it seriously, and said: "All right, I will act as you said."

The system happily exchanged the antidote for him: [The original price of this antidote is 25 points, so you won't be charged zero. 】

Xu Zeran: "..."

After taking the antidote, the black thread-like thing only grew on the surface. Xu Zeran found a time to return Hua Rubi's skirt to her. After returning to the yard, he began to stay at home and concentrate on waiting. The day when the demons summoned him.

One late night, Xu Zeran who was sleeping under the quilt suddenly opened his eyes.

He felt a force drawing him to a place.

Xu Zeran put the sword on his waist, took a few deep breaths, and obeyed the guidance of this force and left the room.

In the dead of night, except for the disciples of Xunling City who were patrolling, everyone in the whole city was immersed in sleep.Xu Zeran followed the guidance and carefully avoided the patrolling disciples. After waiting for a while, he slowly discovered that the destination of this trip should be outside Xunling City.

After thinking about it, Xu Zeran understood why the demon clan hid outside Xunling City.There are too many people arresting him in the city, only the dense forest outside the city has the chance for him to survive.

After crossing the gate of Xunling City covered with red lanterns, Xu Zeran tapped his toes and landed outside the gate.

And he didn't hesitate at all, just turned around and plunged into the dense forest in the southeast. After a while, Xunling City was already far behind him.

After walking like this for more than half an hour, the dense forest gradually thinned out. Xu Zeran pushed aside a bunch of branches blocking his eyes, and his vision suddenly became clear.

A lake that has never been visited by people lies quietly in front of Xu Zeran, with a bright moon in the sky, and a perfect full moon hanging in the lake.

And on the shore of the lake, there was a shadowy person standing with his back to Xu Zeran. He raised his head, as if watching the moon.

Seeing this figure, Xu Zeran's body immediately tensed up, but he still pretended to be confused and looked straight at the person by the lake.

Half of his face was already covered with that black thread-like thing, extending to the brow, where a small black flower bloomed, while the other half of his face was like a crown of jade.At this time, the moonlight is being generous, and such a photo is very strange.

Slowly, the figure by the lake moved and turned around slowly.

The strings in Xu Zeran's heart also collapsed to the tightest.

But when he turned around, Xu Zeran's mind stopped and he stood there.

That person's scarlet eyes were exactly the one that Qi Hong chased after the day he first came to Xunling City!

But what is completely different from his scarlet eyes is his appearance.

This is a man, already showing traces of time, but his face is soft and elegant, like a teacher under the green wall and black tiles.

But there was black air around him, and some leaves were not very attached to the black air, and immediately turned into dust with a hiss, and fell down in a rustle.

Xu Zeran was shocked. One of the biggest reasons why the demons were called demons was that they were different from humans.

Skin like black paint, green face and fangs.

This is the most common description of the appearance of demons in the cultivation world.

But this person, with skin and bones, can be seen as a human being at a glance.

Xu Zeran combined with the old man at the bottom of the cliff that Qi Hong once said, and after a little thought, he understood that this person should be a traitor in the cultivation world who was suppressed at the bottom of the cliff.

Qi Hong was not the only one who came up from the bottom of the cliff.

Xu Zeran in this room was connected with many causes and effects for a while, and after seeing Xu Ze in the other room, his excited eyes glowed red.

But he didn't come forward, he seemed to be struggling, the red light in his eyes faded, and the red light faded in an instant, returning to normal black.

But the black was fleeting, and the man's eyes were once again filled with scarlet.

Xu Zeran saw all this in his eyes, but he didn't want to think about it. The man with scarlet eyes rushed towards Xu Zeran without hesitation this time.
