I heard that you are my son's father

Lu Qingyu felt that there was one thing that he didn't need to hide from him, so he told Qiyan that "the world misled me" was the Demon Inn.

Qi Yan already knew about it when he heard that the owner of the shop said it was Lu Qingyu's uncle, but everyone tacitly maintained a relatively fair competition in accordance with the rules of the world, and both businesses were doing well.

But when this matter was mentioned, Qi Yan wanted to ask about his family affairs: "Do you know who your parents are?"

"My father was Lu Lin, the first immortal venerable back then, and my mother was Qing Han, the lord of the demon race. Immortals and demons were originally at odds, but they loved each other deeply, but then... they fought again. When I was three years old, I came to In the human world, I had some vague impressions before this, as if they had been arguing since I was born, arguing and arguing, and all the love was exhausted." Lu Qingyu smiled, "I'm probably the extra one, it's not that they love each other the crystallization of evil, but the source of evil.”

Qi Yan took the clenched hand and said slowly: "I went to the fairy gate and the demon clan to find you, and I found out some things. When you were just born, although the fairy and the demon didn't communicate, they both A banquet was held to celebrate, and there was an interesting story, that they racked their brains to give you a name, and they were not satisfied no matter how they chose it, they recruited names from all walks of life. At that time, every circle was handing over the roster, and they picked flowers After a while, the two sides chose the same name by coincidence, the name is simple and easy to recognize, take the name of father, and the name of mother, and then, more than every year."

The hand in the palm trembled slightly, and was wrapped in warmth again. The people around were silent for a long time, and then smiled lightly.

The hair was stroked softly again, Qi Yan patted him: "Go to sleep."

At dawn, the fields in the secluded valley were fresh. The two of them went out and walked through the market. When they arrived at the place where the crowds gathered, the fields and trees grew. The yellow and purple flowers are spread like silk, clouds and clouds flow, and there is an atmosphere of butterflies from time to time.

Going forward, there is another fruit forest. Walking under the forest, peach blossoms and pear blossoms are like clouds of smoke, and the sleeves are lifted lightly, and the flowers fall all over the body.

There are several houses in the forest, and there are singing and dancing in front of the door.

Qi Yan walked in front and heard a few soft bells, he turned his head, looked up from Lu Qingyu's clothes, and saw that his eyes were passing over the house.

He was curious: "My Taoist partner has never loved flowers and plants, why am I so happy here?"

The bell was too quiet, Lu Qingyu didn't even hear it, and the crisp collision only rang a few times. After passing the flower forest, and then passing a stone bridge, there were several rows of houses, but the scenery was completely different from before. The roofs of these houses are covered with grass mats, and most of the doors of this type of houses are relatively short, so that the interior of the house is opaque and very dark.

This is the deepest part of Liuyuan Valley. It takes a long time to walk to the outside world. All the villagers who have the conditions have moved to Qianjie. Only some old people who cannot walk still live here. There are a few thin lands by the river, maybe no one has cultivated them. Li, much poorer than the ones they saw when they came, no crops, not even weeds, only a few small flowers blooming here and there, but these flowers are different from the previous ones, the color of the flowers is dull, there is no Lively colors.

Lu Qingyu felt the strongest breath here.

The two stopped in front of a few old people basking in the sun, prayed and bent over and asked, "Old man, are there any dolls of two or three years old here?"

The old man hunched his back: "What?" He raised his hand and pointed to his ear, "I'm too old to hear clearly."

Praying for the banquet and holding the fan to block the people around him, he raised his voice: "Then is there anyone else here?"

The old man understood this time, and raised his hand in the direction of those fields: "Ani."

The banquet pulled the people around him again, so that the old man's arm would not touch Lu Qingyu, and then followed him to look back, and saw a cardamom woman in the field, with a green dress and a string of small jade beads hanging around her waist. Gorgeous, came with a smile, her two dimples seemed to be touched by the spring breeze, which made people's eyes brighten.

When she walked briskly, the bell rang in her ears. Qi Yan looked at the Taoist couple, but the bell did not come from the Taoist couple. He looked at the woman thoughtfully, his pupils slowly tightened, and after a while The last mourning flashed, and he sighed silently.

Annie pulled the long braid on her shoulders and smiled at them: "There are no children here, only some old people who can't walk."

"Why don't you go?"

The girl stood on the edge of the field and shook her head slightly: "I don't live here either. I come to take care of these old people every once in a while. They are quite pitiful. Do you two want to stay for dinner? I am picking some wild vegetables, but... Give money."

Qi Yan stretched out his hand to the side, and pointed his finger on the umbrella Lu Qingyu was holding. Lu Qingyu gave him the umbrella, and he took it without opening it, just playing with it in his hand: "We dare not eat the vegetables you picked."

The girl smiled and tilted her head to look at them: "If you don't believe me, why don't you pick them yourself?"

Qi Yan walked a few steps forward and stood on the ridge of the field, facing the girl, "I don't want to step on this vegetable field."

After all, the tip of the umbrella moved forward and pierced into the girl's heart.

The row of old people in front of the house stood up, their bodies creaking.

A heart entwined with vines was picked out from the tip of the umbrella, and the other side was still connected to the girl's chest. The thin vines drilled out from the inside, stained with blood, and quickly grew up, and soon wrapped around the umbrella. When the umbrella touched, the umbrella cloth stretched out, broke the vine, fell to the ground, and immediately burrowed in along the soles of the girl's feet. From her legs, waist, back, and neck, little by little emerged from the flesh and blood. Small leaves bloomed, turning into the same dark, lifeless little flowers in the field.

Flowers and leaves bloomed all over the girl's body. To be precise, she didn't know if she was a human being, but she was neither a demon nor a demon. She must have been a human being at one time.

Or, she is still human right now, and she still has a human breath.

That row of old people came stiffly, just like her, wrapped in vines and blooming flowers, they walked towards the vegetable field, without any intention of saving the same kind, when they stepped on the vegetable field, they walked slowly down Shen, after a while, his body was buried by the soil and disappeared.

The girl couldn't leave, her face was pale, she stretched out her hand tremblingly, and repeated: "Give me back your heart, give me back..."

Qi Yan picked up the heart, and once again waved off the growing vines: "Doesn't it hurt you like this?"

The body of a living person nourishes the vines, and the vines swim through the flesh and blood. Seeing the luxuriant vines, I don't know how many years she has been raising them.

Those old people may be older than her, and they may not be old people, but the nutrients in their bodies have been sucked dry by the vines.

The girl tilted her head dully: "It hurts to death, it hurts to death..."

She seemed to understand, stared at her heart, and repeated in a whisper: "Kill me, kill me..."

Qi Yan sighed and handed the heart into her hand.

The rattan on the heart pierced into her body in an instant, piercing her eyes and ears. The girl became clear for a moment, her face was in extreme pain, her mottled arm raised, and with a "click", her heart was crushed.

She fell to the ground, the vines quickly dispersed, blood stains invaded the soil, the body was full of small holes drilled by the vines, and the soil rolled.

In an instant, the body was rolled into the ground, thick smoke billowed all around, the ground bubbled with big and small bubbles, a pale hand stretched out from a flower by the side of the field, and grabbed Lu Qingyu's ankle.

Lu Qingyu didn't have time to retreat, and was pulled down into the field. When his arm touched the soil, a vine immediately penetrated into his palm. He grabbed the vine with the tip of his umbrella, and a ball of fire burned the root of the vine, and the root of the vine entered his palm. The cane could no longer be pulled out, and began to spread along Lu Qingyu's arm.

Lu Qingyu gritted his teeth, drew his sword and handed it to him: "Chop off my arm."

The vines spread too fast, Qi Yan took his sword and hesitated a bit when he approached his arm.

Suddenly, there was a thunder, rumbling, and it hit the back of Lu Qingyu's hand impartially. The peach branches on the other side of the stone bridge shook. The vine seemed to be frightened, and instantly retracted the branches, shrinking and shrinking, and withdrew from his palm, and went into the soil. flee.

After praying for the banquet and burning the vine, the two of them looked up at the sky, it was as blue as washing, and it didn't look like it was going to rain at all, but the land was already rolling.

The field ridge was covered in an instant, and this time there was no thunder to help, the two fell to the ground with their feet empty.

Qi Yan made a fire, lightly blew on it, and the dark ground gradually lit up, and the two stopped in place.

They couldn't keep walking, and the row of old people who got into the soil just now surrounded them with vines on their bodies.

Qi Yan handed the fire folder to the people around him: "You will not be able to use this umbrella in the future."

Lu Qingyu frowned: "It just picked someone's heart, I wouldn't use it again."

"That's good." Qi Yan raised his eyebrows and waved the umbrella around.

After a circle, there were dozens of hearts wrapped in vines standing on the umbrella. He squinted his eyes, and those hearts shattered and shook into flesh and blood.

All the people around fell down, Qi Yan threw away the umbrella, took the hands of the people around him, covered his hole that was pierced by vines with a spiritual force, turned into gauze to help him wrap it up, and threw it back A mass of fire burned away the vines and flesh on the ground.

After crossing the obstacle, there is a huge teng root in front, the roots spread all over the place, and there are many cages made of rattan next to it. The cages are tightly woven, and the inside cannot be seen, but there are pale hands and tiny vines protruding from it.

"It's full of people." Lu Qingyu said.

"Yes." Qi Yan said, "Don't open it, it won't look good."

"Destroy it, and give them a good time." The vines had already spread all over the body, and it was impossible to save them.

Qi Yan looked up: "These rattans have built a magic circle around them. If you move these cages, we will be trapped."

"Can't it be broken?"

"It takes time to break through. The formation itself is to gather all kinds of mysteries of the world into one place, and borrow the power of all things in the world. If used correctly, ants can also trap the dragon. To solve it, you have to break through one by one." He looked at it again. Those cages, "But... if you want to destroy them, destroy them all."

He thought about whether to let Lu Qingyu go out first, lest he and himself be trapped in the formation.

But if this root vein is not removed, Lu Qingyu will still be pulled by the vines when he reaches the top. I don't know if it's a coincidence or what, the Lei who rescued him only appeared once. He went out alone without any protection, but it was better to be by his side.

So he dismissed this idea, raised his hand, and a red light covered the giant root. Black mist gradually floated on the root veins. Flying around, Qi Yan raised his sleeves to cover the eyes of those around him, waved his fan, and the spiritual fire burned the cage clean.

The huge root veins contained the spiritual fire, and the vines all over the ground quickly swept towards the two of them, praying for another red light, amplifying the spiritual fire, and burning fiercely from the bottom of the root veins, the vines stopped abruptly, and with a "boom", they fell in contact with the root veins. Burn to ashes together.

The roots have been removed, and the evil vines have all disappeared, and the underground occupied by the vines has become empty in an instant. At the same time, streamers slowly emerged around, and the imprisonment formation oppressed it.

Lu Qingyu gently pushed his sleeves away, and lost his mind for a while: "I can't... the child is here, right?"

"No." There were no two or three-year-old children in those cages, and there were really no gold ingots, panthers, leopards, and golden silk grass, and said to the banquet, "There is too much evil here, and evil and demons have the same origin. , it should be because of the strong evil spirit here."

"Then it's a waste of time for us to come here. From this point of view, my induction is not accurate."

"It's not in vain." Qi Yan said, "These rattan people cannot be touched. Once touched, the rattan will penetrate into the flesh and blood of others and spread rapidly. After a while, they will become rattan people just like them." .

Fortunately, these vines only grow in this place. If they spread all over the world, the entire human world would not need to exist. My monster race is mostly animistic, and there are so many plants.

But I have never seen such an evil vine. I think someone made it. Since we have encountered it, it is a good thing to get rid of it. "

Lu Qingyu raised his gauze-wrapped hand, he had experienced the fast-growing rattan before.

The two of them found a clean place to sit in the dark underground. If they didn't sit, they really had nothing to do. Lu Qingyu couldn't help him if he wanted to break the formation at the banquet, so he had no choice but not to disturb him. The blood-soaked gauze was changed.
