feeding spirit

On the surface of the seemingly calm sea, there are countless black shadows swimming in the depths. They look at the fiery island in the water, their eyes are like torches, as if they are looking forward to something.

The water was rolling, and a person appeared behind them. I don't know what that person conveyed to the shadows.

The seabird passed by, its claws rippled, and seeing a dark shadow in the water, it thought it was a fish, and when it grabbed it with its claws, it was in vain.

Then the shadows dissipated,

In the main hall, several elders, Di Tiao and other royal families were discussing countermeasures.

Suo Yi pointed to the ocean on the map, and said: "Yanqi Island is surrounded by sea, the murderer is most likely to escape along the water."

These words were said because the search on the island was fruitless, and even Di Zhiliang's autopsy showed that the mummified corpse was drained of essence and blood, not because of loss of soul.

Feeding spirits only feed all living beings-souls.

They can only feed their souls, they will never suck their blood, otherwise they will backfire and die.

The above conclusions are all obtained from the experiments of the spirits who captured in ancient times.

Di Biao affirmed: "After hearing the news, I activated the formation around the island, and no one can get out from here."

The Huoye Clan doesn't care about 'self-proclaimed', and Di Biao even calls himself 'I' in a simple way.

His words were very firm, convinced that no one could break through the formation and escape.

However, based on this alone, it is inevitable that there will be fish that slip through the net.

However, with Di Biao being so sure, it's not easy for the elders to directly deny his formation.

Xuan Qu said tactfully: "By the time I rushed there, the murderer had already escaped. There is plenty of time. No way, that person left the island before that."

Not impossible.

Di Biao said: "No, there is a police line on the island. No one has left the island today, even if it is a bird, we have checked."

It seems that the island is really heavily guarded, and Di Tiao kept a few hands behind his back, for what purpose?It's not the idea of ​​preventing immortal cultivators from attacking island beasts.

I was afraid that I would not be able to catch the handle at that time, so I set up a dark trap.

But this is not the time for internal strife, but a concerted effort to find the murderer.

But the thorns in the words, the elders can understand.

Xuan Qu stroked his beard and said: "So, the island owner suspects that the murderer followed me to the island?" So he started killing the Huo Ye clan and directed and acted on his own?

Xuan Qu did not say the latter sentence.

Di Biaojieyi: "At present, this is the only possibility. Besides, the style of doing things is very similar to the ghost world. It is also possible that there are ghosts hiding in the boat. I didn't say that I should doubt the Xuanmen."

Mo Huai apologized and said with a smile: "So, the island owner wants to check on me."

"Don't worry, Sect Leader Mo, I believe the rank is higher than you, so I naturally disdain such ghostly tricks." Di Biao said.

To make it clear, he just wanted to check the internal disciples, that's all.

Kui Guangdao: "In this case, we will cooperate with the island owner in the investigation. If there is a murderer during the period, then the criminal will be dealt with by the island owner, and we will compensate the island owner for some benefits."

After Di Tiao said it, he was determined to investigate, and if he refused to let it go, it was really a ghost in his heart.

Just check it out, if you can't bear it, you will make a big mess.

What's more, they themselves doubted whether the matter of pulling the worm really made the ghost follow the island.

On the other hand, Qiu Jie remained silent, with his eyes lowered, no one knew what he was thinking.

......

Tu Yu managed to get rid of Gong Liangyi's "torture torture", and then he was beaten on the head by Gong Liangyi with a bitter face.

After a long time, Gong Liangyi coaxed him again in distress.

Tu Yu: Oh, fickle man (╯‵ ′)╯︵┻━┻

At the end of the day, only then did Tu Yu think of Qiu Jie.

Thinking of the unfinished kiss last night, he couldn't help but blushed, no matter whether Qiu Jie would come back or not, he felt ashamed to face Qiu Jie.

Tu Yu: QAQ

It's over!

What to do at night? ? ?

So, the weak and helpless eyes fell on Gong Liangyi.

"Isn't this someone?" Tu Yu smiled inexplicably.

If you can avoid it, avoid it. It is good not to meet each other, but my heart aches.

Gong Liangyi:? ? ?

Tu Yu, who was finally defeated by reality, returned to the 39th floor dejectedly.

Just because I remembered this damned setting door, it is not allowed to run around the door.

Back in the room, no one was there.

Tu Yu breathed a sigh of relief, no matter what, he still couldn't face Qiu Jie calmly for the time being.

Lying on the bed where the two embraced each other, Tu Yu looked at the roof and lost his mind.

A gourd appeared in front of him. He reached out and found it was an illusion.

"Stuffy gourd." Tu Yu muttered to himself.

……

In the study room, Qiu Jie was looking at the book in silence, and next to him was Tu Yu, who was dancing and eloquent.

After bouncing around for a while again, Tu Yu said sullenly, "Stuffy gourd."

"Then what are you?" Qiu Jie asked indifferently.

"I don't know, but it must be much better than your stuffy gourd." Tu Yu laughed easily.

Qiu Jie smiled: "I claim to be handsome."

Self-proclaimed handsome and extraordinary.

……

Immediately, Tu Yu immediately cut off the thought that just came up.

"I can think of him no matter what..." Tu Yu sighed frowningly.

When he was thinking wildly, Tu Yu remembered that it was time to go to sleep.

The next day, Tu Yu learned about the search.

All the disciples were investigated, but there was still no clue.

That doesn't mean things are over.

In the next few days, the island was heavily guarded and the case was investigated secretly, and Qiu Jie never appeared. To be precise, he never appeared in front of Tu Yu, because Tu Yu had heard a lot about Qiu Jie recently. Jie's gossip.

It seemed that he deliberately avoided seeing him, and Tu Yu also heaved a sigh of relief, but felt that something was missing in his heart.

The sourness, the numbness, and the strong yearning invaded him wantonly, and the emotions that were originally suppressed were all changed by that kiss.

On this day, the crowds were crowded, the streets were filled with fiery red lanterns, and everyone in the whole street was dressed in red.

Today is the melting festival day, everyone has to put on red clothes and go to the crater to pay homage to the island guardian beast.

The custom did not stop with the death of a person.

Immortal cultivators who went to the countryside to do as the Romans did also put on red clothes, and Tu Yu followed Gong Liangyi and others to join in the fun.

"Wow, Brother Daochang, so you look good in a red dress." Jiao Jiao said with a smile, wearing a red shirt and skirt with flamboyant arms.

Tu Yu smiled.

"Looking good brother, you really look like a beautiful bride." She still didn't forget to add something to Gong Liangyi.

Gong Liangyi: ...

Bai Shanzi smiled and pointed at himself: "Jiaojiao, then tell me, what does brother Shanzi look like?"

"I don't want to judge you." Jiao Jiao said.

Bai Danzi, who had been shut down, questioned Yuan Shuqi and the others disapprovingly.

Mo Chushui was also rare silent.

In this long stream of people, relatives of the emperor and the elders all lead the way at the front, and disciples of cultivating immortals are mixed in the middle.

Tu Yu pretended to scan the crowd casually, and finally withdrew his disappointed gaze. He couldn't help but want to see what Qiu Jie looked like in red, and whether it was consistent with his own appearance?Or better?

However, the sea of ​​people was vast and red, and he failed to find the person he wanted to see as he wished.

I haven't seen him for a few days, and my thoughts are flooding, which is beyond Tu Yu's expectation.

The crater is huge, and there is still a foothold, but it is not very clear.

Through the gaps in the crowd, Tu Yu watched the melting ceremony, and there were the chirping voices of Gong Liangyi and others beside him.

He also said a few words with a smile.

It just so happened that Tu Yu was standing on the side, with the abyss beside him.

Standing high above, overlooking the dust of the world, Tu Yu realized at this moment that this place is much higher than the 39th floor where he lives.

At this moment, looking at the insignificant things under his feet, he realized that he was just a tiny, painless, dispensable part of the vast world. It can't cause any storms, and it can't bring any influence to the Three Realms.

Like mortals passing away without a sound, birds and beasts are finally ignored.

"Yes, I am an ordinary immortal cultivator. Even the famous immortals, demons, and human beings will be forgotten by everyone in the end. I am so small, and I think I have endless troubles, but I am alive. Who is more content?"

"I'm afraid this trivial matter of mine is nothing if it is put into the thousands of troubles?"

"Why live so tiringly, tossing and tossing, uncomfortable, moving, always only yourself."

It's better to let it go from the heart, not to pursue fame and fortune, not to covet treasures......

After getting this feeling, Tu Yu wanted to tell Qiu Jie that no matter what Qiu Jie thought or thought, Tu Yu didn't want to hide anymore.

Thinking of this, Tu Yu happily withdrew his eyes and looked at the altar.

Only then did I realize that the Melting Festival was different from other sacrifices. Not only did there not appear on the stage, but even individuals did not step forward, and the people in the front row were also some distance away from the altar.

Tu Yu's curiosity was aroused, and he wanted to see how the festival would be carried out.

Di Tiao stepped forward, took out a knife, cut his wrist, and scribbled the blood on the empty altar.

Across the crowd, Tu Yu could see in a blur, and could tell that Di Diao was writing or drawing symbols with blood.

But he didn't see any specific traces, and he couldn't tell what Di Tiao was writing or drawing.

Tu Yu circled around the facial expressions of the people in front of him from the corner of his eye, trying to guess what it was through their emotions.

And the people in front, as mentioned above, are the royal relatives of the Huoye clan, as well as elders cultivating immortals.

Xuan Qu and the others were at the forefront, but Tu Yu couldn't see it at all, so he looked at Huo Yeren's expression.

Coincidentally, he caught a glimpse of Di Qin who had the best sight.

But Di Qin looked at the altar calmly, as if nothing had happened.

Tu Yu: ...

Forget that she always looks cold, how could there be ripples.

Silly.

After criticizing himself in his heart, Tu Yu was just about to look away, but met Di Qin's gaze.

Tu Yu: ...

This look? !

Wait!

I swear!

I have nothing wrong with you! ! !

Di Qin glanced at Tu Yu lightly, then looked away.

His eyes were cold, without any trace of warmth.

Tu Yu's heart skipped a beat: "I'm thinking too much??? Such a big fuss."

After a while, Di Biao stopped what he was doing, stood in front of the altar, and recited the mantra.

Afterwards, Di Biao lifted up his robe and knelt down to kowtow. When he knelt like this, the Huo Ye people behind him immediately knelt down and kowtowed.

The cultivators once again knelt down and kowtowed as the Romans did.

For a moment, no one spoke, and the entire crater was so quiet that only grunts remained.

It was the sound of magma rolling, one after another, gradually getting louder.

Tu Yu listened attentively, and at the same time, got up with the crowd and looked forward again.

What catches the eye is that the lava floating in the air is like a huge net, which can envelop everyone present as long as it falls.

"I'm afraid something will happen." Gong Liangyi murmured.

Although the voice was low, Tu Yu still heard it, and immediately said: "What?"

If you talk about making trouble, no one knows what will happen if you offend this nearly ten thousand-year-old island guardian beast on the Melting Festival Day. Generally, no one will come here to make trouble, especially the Huoye clan, unless... ..

Suddenly, a line of lava in the air branched out and attacked Tu Yu directly.

Don't think about it, the feeling of being cast by molten lava is definitely not pleasant.

Tu Yu was startled, and he shot immediately, but the speed of the lava was faster than him, and it passed through him directly...
