If there is no instruction from the evil fly, the location of the Blood Sacrifice Pool is really difficult to find through the thick fog and without obvious marks.

But Li Wu stopped not far from the Blood Sacrifice Pool, and Xie Changming went there easily.

After walking the last section of the road, Xie Changming stepped lightly, raised his eyes and looked in.

The Blood Sacrifice Pool is a pool that is not sure whether it is crazy or not. The blood flowing in it is bright red. Occasionally there is a flash of light, which should be the soul of a person.The pool wasn't full yet, only seven percent full, and the surface of the pool of blood was bubbling, as if it was waiting to completely boil.

It seemed to be filled with demon energy, but it didn't seem to be.

Xie Changming frowned, unable to tell what it was for a moment.

There is some impression in the memory, but it is very vague.

And in the center of the blood sacrifice pool stood a man, a Taoist priest with white beard and hair, wearing an indigo Taoist uniform, holding a whisk, standing on the blood pool.

If Xie Changming's guess is correct, the "immortal" is the real Yijian, the real forest guard.

He seemed to have noticed something. When he turned around and saw Xie Changming, he was obviously stunned for a moment, and then he shouted: "Why are you not dead?"

His original plan was to wait until Xie Changming died full of resentment, then collect a wave of bones, pick up his hatred, and add bricks and tiles to the blood sacrifice pool, instead of being found directly.

Xie Changming said: "If I'm dead, how can I kill you?"

Yijian Daoist seemed unwilling to talk nonsense with a disciple of the Foundation Establishment Stage, his spiritual power surged, he soared into the air, and flew towards Xie Changming directly.

Before coming here, Xie Changming had heard Mr. Xu talk about this real person.His roots are not good, and he has no talent in the way of cultivating immortals. When he gets old, he will be the perfect cultivation base of Yuanying, and he will not break through to the void stage.

Judging from the current situation, Yijian Daoist has at least a Mahayana cultivation base.

Nowadays, there are only a handful of Mahayana stage monks in the world of comprehension, and I didn't expect this Yijian Daoist to be one of them.

It's really unusual.

Xie Changming took off the three strings of immovable wood in his hand, paused, but still did not take off the wooden crown on his head.

His cultivation base has been soaring all the way, and he doesn't need to ask his heart. In addition, he has never completely taken off the immovable wood since he put it on, so Xie Changming can only estimate the specific cultivation base.

There is about a period of crossing the catastrophe.

But during the period of crossing the catastrophe, it is about to face ascension, and it is too close to the way of heaven, and sometimes thunder falls, urging the ascension. This situation is really inappropriate.

But the wooden crown made of immovable wood has suppressed too much cultivation, and Xie Changming is probably perfect now.

This time, instead of holding the epee, he drew out the Knife of No Return that had not been used for a long time.

That murderous knife.

When the swords meet, there is a colliding sound.

Xie Changming raised his saber, and with a flash of light, he was filled with spiritual power, and he actually forced back the Daoist Yijian in the Mahayana stage.

Daoist Yijian was startled and angry, and shouted, "You!"

"Who are you?! How can the students of Lulin Academy have such cultivation?!"

Xie Changming looked at him coldly, without answering, he slashed straight down with his knife, and the whisk was broken in half.

When killing people, Xie Changming doesn't talk nonsense with others.

Xie Changming's murder was quick and neat, and he almost sliced ​​the real man's dead wood neck.

Yijian Daoist retreated one after another, but still gritted his teeth and persisted.

There is no spiritual power in the Wraith Ghost Forest, and he will consume it until Xie Changming's spiritual power is exhausted.

This is impossible.

Xie Changming has five spiritual roots, and it is difficult to cultivate, but once he gets through it, coupled with the open meridians, the spiritual power he has accumulated on weekdays is quite sufficient, and he is not afraid of such tactics, and he only cares about killing people, so there is no need to save his spiritual power .

After the dust whisk was completely broken, Master Yijian finally realized that something was wrong. He gritted his teeth, absorbed the magic energy from the blood sacrifice pool, and said angrily, "Because of you alone, my great cause has been delayed, and you must die."

All of a sudden, the aura in Yijian Daoist's body changed, turning into demonic energy, and his swordsmanship became more and more treacherous. It was quite different from the original one, as if he was a demon.

Xie Changming was not afraid, he raised the knife and stepped forward, with a glimmer of light on the tip of the knife, he deliberately asked: "Have you been descended by the demons?"

The surrounding dead trees have been completely cut off by the sword light and sword energy, and fell into the blood sacrifice pool, disappearing without a trace.

After hearing what he said, Master Yijian became furious: "What are demons! I want to become a fairy!"

Xie Changming vaguely had an idea in his mind.

Since the demons can come to the cultivators, can the cultivators come to the demons?

About is also possible.

But these words, Xie Changming didn't intend to ask Daoist Yijian, he split the spiritual barrier around him with a knife, and put the knife on his neck.

And the dust whisk and long sword in the hands of Daoist Yijian have all been broken into a ball.

Was he really scared? He glanced at Xie Changming and said forcefully: "You are also a monk in the Mahayana stage, don't you want to break through to the stage of crossing the tribulation, and then ascend to immortality?"

Xie Changming directly cut off his neck, flicked off the blood from the blade, and said coldly: "I don't want to."

When he was about to die, the last words of Daoist Yijian were: "If you killed me for those mortal ants, you must regret it for the rest of your life!"

Xie Changming went up and picked up his head.

He was dead, and his eyes were still staring resentfully at the person in front of him.

Suddenly, someone said: "Aren't you going to ask him? Just kill him directly."

It's Li Wu.

Xie Changming didn't look back, but said, "Don't ask."

If there are dead people who can't ask, let alone the living.

As soon as the words fell, Xie Changming directly began to search for his soul.

Generally speaking, things like searching for the soul are only used when there is a big gap in cultivation, otherwise the damage to the caster will be too great, and the injury of the soul will not be easy to heal, but the gain will outweigh the loss.

Xie Changming is different.He has lived for three lifetimes, and his spirit has been trained for three lifetimes repeatedly, which is more than enough to deal with a real person.

But Xie Changming just found the soul that was still in his mind, and the white and transparent soul suddenly exploded, Xie Changming retreated, and immediately set up a barrier.

Li Wu: "What's wrong?"

Xie Changming looked at it for a while, then gave up: "It's so broken, I can't find it."

Li Wu's expression was strange: "A few years ago, his cultivation level would not have been like this. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to fight him and hurt both."

However, in the past few years, Yijian Daoist's cultivation has improved by leaps and bounds. Anyone who sees it will know that there is a ghost.

Xie Changming got up and went to check the blood sacrifice pool.

This blood sacrifice pool is very strange.If Yijian Daoist only killed people from Wutou Town, no matter what, it would be impossible to be [-]% full. Moreover, the dirty blood could not have come from mortals, but it was extremely weird.

However, if the blood sacrifice pool is full, the consequences will be obvious.This is the center of the entire Wraith Ghost Forest. If it breaks, hundreds of thousands of Wraith Ghosts will break through the barrier and cause disaster to the world.

Li Wu watched the fight between Xie Changming and Yijian Zhenren from beginning to end, and he knew in his heart that he was deceived, so he didn't say much, just followed Xie Changming.

It wasn't until Xie Changming walked to the position where Yijian Daoist was standing at the beginning that he realized the problem.

This blood sacrifice pool was really not filled with the captives from Wutou Town.There is a passage hidden below, and the dirty blood inside is introduced from the other end.And those people in Wutou Town are probably just an introduction. They are different from other grieving ghosts. They died in the grieving ghost forest. .

After Li Wu asked the answer, he was silent for a long time before he said, "It's my fault. What should I do next?"

Fortunately, Xie Changming is quite proficient in formations. He checked again and found that there are many redundant parts in this formation, and the redundant parts are connected to form another formation.

This blood sacrificial pool was transformed from the original formation.The original formation, that is, the channel for dredging resentment and resentment in the ghost forest, is said to be left by a monk who has successfully passed the catastrophe. The resentment is evacuated to the four continents, which can ensure peace for thousands of years.

If you just change it back, it's not too difficult.

Xie Changming untied the barrier, and threw the corpse of Yijian Daoist and his shattered spirit into it.

The blood sacrifice pond bubbled thickly for a while, and soon devoured the Mahayana monk completely.

Then, it was almost a complete boil.

Those things that seemed to be devilish but not devilish poured into the blood sacrifice pool, and turned into blood water under the action of the formation, and the water level of the blood sacrifice pool slowly rose again.

This thing should be the cause of the little Changming bird's severe pain.

He studied that thing for a long time and was very interested. It seemed that he also wanted to destroy the world.

Li Wu watched from the side and asked, "Is the amount of resentment that can be accommodated by the re-transformed formation calculated based on the current boiling level of the blood sacrifice pool?"

But most of those cultivating immortals know a little about formations, talismans, and pills.Although Li Wu forgot his last name and name, it was because he wandered around for too long and lost part of his spirit, but he remembered these clearly.

Xie Changming was still thinking about how to change back to the formation, but nodded when he heard the words.

Not difficult, but rather laborious.

Li Wu still didn't leave, he looked at it for a long time, and suddenly said: "You don't seem like someone who would do such a thing."

He asked again, "Why do you want to do it?"

For Xie Changming, this is undoubtedly a strange question.

People like Li Wu, even if they lose their memory, don't forget to maintain the righteous way in the world and the safety of most people's lives.

He must have been taught well since he was a child, and he knew the truth of being a man and a fairy.

But Xie Changming was not.

He is Xie Liu who was thrown away at the age of ten. He has never been protected and taken care of by the world, and he will not have the idea of ​​protecting this world.

There are all living beings in this world, but he is just one of them, and he is still the worst one in the eyes of heaven.

So Li Wu would ask him.

Xie Changming stared at the bloody water, as if he wanted to reach out to touch it, and then stopped: "I have someone to protect. Compared with the chaotic world and the scattered ghosts, it is better to live in a prosperous world."

Li Wu was stunned when he heard the words, and sighed: "So that's the case. It's no wonder that in this world, everyone has their own way and practice."

People like Xie Changming, who are carefree and heartless, will linger in this world because of certain people and certain things.

It seems that everything can be assured.

Therefore, Li Wu said softly: "I plan to devote myself to this too."

Shenhun used his original appearance, a young man in his twenties, handsome and tall, with high cultivation, he is a young talent.

It's fine for such a person to die early, even the soul has to die here forever, it's really not worth it.

Xie Changming glanced at him, it was rare to persuade people, but it was very unpleasant to say: "This formation is converted back, and there is no shortage of your soul alone."

Li Wu said: "I did something wrong, I should make up for it, I deserve it. If I don't do this, I will feel uneasy, and I am sorry for those who died in front of my eyes."

He said forcefully again, "I told you that I want to entrust you with one thing."

But Xie Changming was not easy to persuade.

He smiled lightly: "You planted evil flies on me to find the Blood Sacrifice Pool so smoothly, shouldn't you give me some reward?"

Xie Changming was not threatened, but he still said, "Say it."

Li Wu floated under a giant tree and dug out half of the jade tablet. The name part happened to be broken, so I don't know his name.

He said: "Although I am dead, I don't know if my parents, teachers and elders are still looking for me in the world, which has delayed their recuperation. This is the only thing left on me. You bring it to them so that they can feel at ease. "

Xie Changming was startled, took out his own jade token, and handed it to Li Wu.

Li Wu said "Yeah", and said with a smile: "Then we are considered to be from the same school. Now, you only need to go back and don't need to spend any more effort. That's very good."

Then, with a relieved smile, he fell down and threw himself into the blood sacrifice pool.

Xie Changming looked at him without stopping.

Xie Changming finished changing the blood sacrifice pool again, and it was dark again.

It's dawn of a new round.

Xie Changming walked to the place where he came, picked up the Fudo wood scattered on the ground, and walked outside.

He recognized what was in the blood sacrifice pool.

It's really not the magic energy, otherwise Sheng Liuyu couldn't use Cui Chenshan when he was almost captured by the demons last time.

It is the malice of the abyss.

The injury of the little Changming bird is related to the abyss.

When he went back to look for Sheng Liuyu, the little Changming Bird hadn't woken up yet, and the surroundings were very peaceful, with no one else around.

But it probably doesn't hurt anymore, and his sleeping face has stretched eyebrows, which is very cute.

Xie Changming smiled, picked up Sheng Liuyu, and left the Ghost Forest.

Going back and passing through Wutou Town, the whole town was deserted and there was no one left.

As for the time when Sheng Liuyu woke up, Xie Changming had sorted out the matter of the Resentful Ghost Forest, eliminated those who were inconvenient to say clearly, and sent a letter to Mr. Xu.

Sheng Liuyu huddled under the quilt, stretched out only one hand, grasping the pillow with thin white fingers, and asked in a daze, "How long have I been asleep?"

Xie Changming held the spirit stone, leaned into his ear and said, "Are you a bird? Or a pig? You've been asleep for three days."

Sheng Liuyu froze all over, turned over vigorously, and retorted instinctively: "You are the little pig!"

He sat on the head of the bed, the dim light passed through the gauze, casting light and thin shadows on his cheeks, like the imprint left by him during sleep.

Xie Changming wanted to calm down.

I held back again.

too intimate.The bird has not been caged yet and cannot be touched.

He asked, "Is your body still uncomfortable?"

Sheng Liuyu shook his head.

Xie Changming stood up, opened the window, and the sun poured in from the window, he said: "The weather is fine today, do you want to go out and play?"

Sheng Liuyu tilted his head, stretched out his hand to catch the light, held it up a lot, and said in a soft voice, "Okay."

In the next few days, Xie Changming took Sheng Liuyu on a tour of Jiangnan.

Because he didn't want to use the appearance of a chubby man, and the appearance of a falcon was too ugly, Sheng Liuyu maintained his human form for a few days, but he couldn't hold on to it.I also imitated a little thrush on the road, changed its feather color, and returned to Xie Changming's shoulder.

Sheng Liuyu tasted a lot of fruit snacks in the south of the Yangtze River, but his transformable figure was too small, with a small mouth and a small belly, so he could only take a few bites, and stuffed the rest into Xie Changming's mustard seeds.

After shopping in Jiangnan, the two drove a deer cart all the way to the beach.

The lively scenery in the south of the Yangtze River is rare, but the seaside is even rarer.

Sheng Liuyu needs to drink three coconuts a day, and he uses human form. Xie Changming is also used to him, and the little Changmingniao is very satisfied.

Before going out to sea in a small boat, Xie Changming first found the boatman.

He took out a bag of silver, which was not too much: "After going out to sea, you only row and steer the boat according to the predetermined route. Don't talk too much, and don't make any noise at will. Look at me and another person."

Boatman: "Are you looking down on our boatman!"

Xie Changming said: "No. 20 taels."

The boatman said proudly, "I'm also a man of the sea with integrity! I won't pick up customers anymore! Go to another house!"

Xie Changming: "100 taels."

Boatman: "...Master, when will you get on the boat?"

I don't know if money can turn ghosts, but it can definitely make people row.

Unfortunately, there were some winds and waves on the sea that day, and the boat was not stable. Sheng Liuyu, a delicate cub, got seasick and had to turn back halfway.

Not by boat, but by flying back on Xie Changming's shoulder.

Back at the shore, Sheng Liuyu still refused to stop. He wanted to continue looking at the sea, so he sat on the reef by the sea and asked Xie Changming to buy coconuts to drink.

When Xie Changming came back from buying coconuts, Sheng Liuyu sat in his original position, with a bird parked next to him, and the paper in his hand was burnt to ashes and hadn't been blown away yet.

The little Changming bird hung its head, and seemed to be in a bad mood.

Xie Changming began to think about the novelties around him.

No more, I've played it all.

Therefore, Xie Changming finally took out his final trump card, he said gently: "I have a gift for you."

Sheng Liuyu was not as happy as he imagined, but asked slowly: "Didn't you say you have something to do when you came out? Don't you want to go?"

Xie Changming was startled, he walked closer, and could see the beautiful line of Sheng Liuyu's chin and slightly pursed lips.

He said: "No more. There is no need to do it."

Before going down the mountain, what he thought was that he would go out to look for birds in the future. It was not safe for the little Changming bird to stay in Lulin Academy and be watched by the demons.It's better to take the opportunity of going down the mountain and send it back to Xiaozhong Mountain to investigate one or two. If there is any difference, we can also solve it together.The oracle is really troublesome. If you can't stay in Xiaozhongshan, you have to personally choose a guard who can take care of the little Changming bird and guard it day and night.

Sheng Liuyu hated all of these.

But Xie Changming is this kind of villain and villain. Before coaxing the bird, he must always ensure the safety of the bird.

But now it's different, Xie Changming has many clues to believe that the little Changming bird is his bird, so he should be taken with him, protected, and then slowly explore his life experience to find evidence.

Sheng Liuyu repeated it lightly: "Is there any more?"

It seemed as if he wished to separate from Xie Changming.

But Xie Changming knew he didn't want to, so he asked, "What's wrong?"

Sheng Liuyu turned his head, probably because he didn't want to look at Xie Changming, and finally said: "Father said, he wants to take me back to Xiaozhongshan."

For a moment, Xie Changming forgot what to say.

After a while, he maintained his rationality and asked, "What are you going back to Xiaozhongshan for?"

Under the circumstances of the oracle, the little Changming Bird should have stayed in Lulin Academy, why did he suddenly call him back?

There must be a reason.

Sheng Liuyu held her chin as if very tired, and some black embers were still stained on her fingertips, which were very obvious marks on her face, and the little Changming bird who cared most about her face in the past didn't care.

He muffled: "They said that my eyes and ears can be cured."

After a long time, they were all silent, only the sound of the sea breeze around them.

The little Changming bird was a little nervous. Although he was young, he was a very assertive bird. He could do whatever he wanted, and it was useless to force him to do what he didn't want to do.

But he has not yet made a decision on whether to return to Xiaozhongshan.

Wouldn't it be nice to go back?The father and the elders were so sure that his eyes and ears would be cured.That was something he had longed for for many years, and now that his dream was about to come true, why did he retreat?

Sheng Liuyu didn't know.

But he still didn't get what he wanted to hear, Xie Changming didn't keep him.

Xie Changming just asked him in a low voice: "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Sheng Liuyu said: "I don't know what to say."

From the moment he received the first letter, Sheng Liuyu knew that he didn't want to go back.

Xie Changming said: "Go back. Heal your eyes and ears."

If it was the oracle of destiny, Xie Changming would not let Sheng Liuyu go.

He doesn't believe in heaven, nor in fate.

But Sheng Liuyu wanted to go back to see a doctor to treat his eyes and ears.

Xie Changming only knew that the devilish energy in Sheng Liuyu's body was probably related to the abyss, and the abyss is the most mysterious place in the world. He jumped over it twice and mistook it for the devilish energy in Sheng Liuyu's body, so he didn't immediately recognize what was in the blood sacrifice pool.

As soon as he left the Ghost Forest, he immediately sent people to investigate the abyss, but until now, they had found almost nothing.

Tomorrow, next month, or this year, there may be very little news. Maybe next year, the year after, ten years later, or before Xie Changming's death, the secret of the abyss cannot be solved.

Compared with this too uncertain possibility, going back to Xiaozhong Mountain seems to be a good decision.

Xie Changming didn't feel at ease about entrusting the bird to others, even if it was Sheng Liuyu's relatives, he didn't think they took good care of the little Changming bird.

And his bird should have been with him.

However, if it is cured, Sheng Liuyu will have a pair of eyes that can see things and ears that can hear words, and will no longer suffer from severe pain when suddenly encountering the evil spirit of the abyss.

For this reason, Xie Changming is willing to give up the right to keep the birds for a while.

He was still thinking about this matter, Sheng Liuyu suddenly said: "They said that it will come soon."

"You don't need to waste time to tutor me with homework in the future."

"You can go out and find your bird."

"I'll go over the family tree again."

"I will never forget what I promised you."

He suddenly threw away the spirit stone in his hand.

The spirit stone landed on the golden beach, rolled a few times, and sank into the fine sand.

He said the last few words in a foul tone.

"Don't forget me."

"Remember me."

"Wait for me to come back."

The reason for throwing away the spirit stone was to not hear Xie Changming's answer.

Because the little Changming bird has a bad temper and a bad tone, and he especially wants to save face. If he says such a thing, Xie Changming will not be allowed to refuse.

Obviously so fierce, but it seems very sad, a little want to cry.

Xie Changming finished listening in silence.

He bent down, took off Yan Yunxia, ​​and caressed Sheng Liuyu's side face.

His palms were a little rough, with old scars on them, marks that could fade away, but were unwilling to fade away.

The rough fingertips touched the eyes, nose, and earlobes of the little Changming bird, skipped over the lips, and finally tapped the chin.

His palm was not soft, but it made Sheng Liuyu feel warm and safe.

Xie Changming seriously answered all the words he said before.

There is no spirit stone, just whisper in his ear.

"After you are cured, go back to the academy to study, and the homework will continue to help you."

"It will teach you a lot of other things, and teach you everything you want to learn."

"Will keep looking for my little bird."

"There's no need to rush the genealogy."

"I will always remember what I promised you."

Xie Changming rarely said such words.

Even if he said it, he would only speak to the little bald hair.

But in fact, there is only one piece of evidence that can prove that the little Changming bird is a little bald hair, and most of the others are Xie Changming's illusory feelings, which are not hard evidence.

He has no choice.

He wanted the little Changming bird not to cry, but he couldn't say, "Don't cry."

It's okay to cry when you're sad.

But Xie Changming only wanted to make him happy.

It's not all about coaxing birds, Xie Changming will do whatever he says.

Finally, Xie Changming wiped away a tear from the corner of Sheng Liuyu's eye with his fingertips.

He solemnly promised Sheng Liuyu.

"I will never forget."

"remember."

"Wait for you."

Sheng Liuyu finally turned his head, willing to look at Xie Changming.

He didn't want to go back to Xiaozhong Mountain, even though it was his forest, with his favorite undead wood.

But now, the only thing he wants to be on is Xie Changming's shoulder.

Xie Changming is going to find the bird, so he can go with him.

The ends of the earth go with him.

Xie Changming didn't want it.

Sheng Liuyu tugged on Xie Changming's sleeve and tried to smile, he asked, "Where's your gift?"

Xie Changming sat beside him: "I'm just kidding, I want to trick you into going back early."

Sheng Liuyu: "Oh."

He complained softly: "Don't lie to me."

Xie Changming looked at the innocent little Changming bird, but didn't speak.

"Coming soon" on Xiaozhongshan's side, it really came very quickly.

About half an hour later, the fairy boat stopped on the sea.

Sheng Liuyu didn't want to be sent by Xie Changming, and boarded the fairy boat alone.

The fairy ship slowly soared into the air, Sheng Liuyu stood at the bow of the ship, her sleeves fluttering.

Xie Changming still remembered his appearance the first time he met him in this life, and it was just like that.

Bi-color clothes, black long hair, cold and expensive, unattainable.

At that time, they were strangers who had no intersection.

But now, the little Changming bird is his bird.

Xie Changming saw the fairy boat gradually going away, and took out a hairpin from the mustard seeds.

The hairpin looks very ordinary, made of white jade, with many intricate dark patterns carved on it, but it cannot be seen because of the background color of white jade.

Xie Changming pinched the hairpin handle and released a little spiritual power.Immediately, a cluster of undead flowers in full bloom grew on the hairpin, carved from white jade, crowded layer upon layer, and when they were fully bloomed, the flower cores burned, turning the whole hairpin into a fiery red.Immediately, petals fell, and the last petal happened to hang beside Xie Changming's ear, swaying with the breeze.

The snow-skinned black-haired hosta must be very suitable.

This hairpin is made of Boshan Zhaoshi mud and Liuyu, which are two expensive and precious materials. Xie Changming slowly carved them out. It was originally intended to be given to Sheng Liuyu so that he would no longer have to hold the spirit stone. Listen to him in such a relaxed and decent way.

But it's useless now.

So there is no need to send it out.

Xie Changming retracted the hairpin and looked up at the direction where the fairy boat was going away.

The sky is high and the sea is wide.

His bird flew away again.
