He is the creator's fault

It's the third day...

Yao looked at the white mist outside, feeling a little helpless, who would have thought that he and Xuan Tan would be trapped in the mist for three days, it would be fine if they just couldn’t get out, but trapped in this dilapidated village, with no change of clothes , there is no place to stay, it is a bit difficult for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who has been well-clothed and well-fed since childhood.

Xuan Tan sat bare-chested in front of the fire, holding two wooden sticks in his hands, and wearing two grilled fish on them. The village has been deserted for some time, and all the food has gone bad. This fish was caught by Xuan Tan from the river. Yes, after cleaning it, he sprinkled some salt he carried with him, baked it golden, at least it looks good.

"eat."

Xuan Tan handed one of the fish to Yao, Yao thanked him, took it and ate it slowly, even though he was living in the mountains, Yao's every move showed good manners.

The taste of the grilled fish can only be said to be quite satisfactory. Of course, there is no way to compare it with the imperial meals that Yao ate before, but it is more than enough to fill the stomach. Yao only ate half of it, and the rest went into Xuan Tan's stomach. At first he was puzzled. I used to know that monks also eat meat. Later I learned that most monks abstain from "meat" and not "fishy". It refers to meat. If a monk doesn't eat meat, how can he have the strength to fight?

After eating enough, Yao was wrapped in Xuantan's monk's robe, and sat in front of the fire drowsy. Because of his weak constitution, Yao's condition became worse and worse these days, especially at night, when the temperature dropped and Xuantan Tan's body is strong and has internal strength to protect his body. Of course, there is nothing wrong with him, but Yao's whole body is icy cold.

Xuan Tan also noticed something about Yao's situation, but he had scruples and dared not help Yao.Time passed by, and the firewood was burning, making crackling noises, and sometimes a spark exploded. Yao didn't know whether he was sleepy or caught the wind and cold, and fell asleep in a daze.

In the dead of night, under the attack of the cold, Yao's hands and feet began to become stiff from the fingertips, he curled up, his brows were furrowed, even in a dream, he couldn't find peace.Xuan Tan opened his eyes and looked at Yao, and found that a thin layer of frost had formed on his hair, if he let it go, Yao might really have to confess here.

In the face of human life, Xuan Tan didn't care too much, stretched out his hand to hug Yao into his arms, warmed Yao's body with his body temperature, and at the same time put his palm on Yao's back, and the internal force circulated to drive away the cold air in Yao's body.

The coldness gradually subsided, Yao's body stretched out, and Xuan Tan's body was even tighter. Although it can't be said that it is warm and soft, but Yao is different in Xuan Tan's heart. Attraction, in such a close situation, is a test for Xuan Tan.

Xuan Tan closed his eyes, recited the Qingxin Jue over and over in his heart, and waited for the long night to pass.

……

After dawn, Yao woke up from his sleep and found that his limbs were alive, and he no longer felt the stiffness of the previous two days, and even his neck did not feel the pain of a stiff neck. It seemed that something unexpected happened after he fell asleep. But Yao didn't show it, just pretended that he didn't notice it, this reaction immediately let Xuan Tan breathe a sigh of relief.

Xuan Tan dug out three roasted sweet potatoes from the fire, peeled off half of the skin and handed them to Yao, Yao still thanked him, the sweet potatoes were sweet and soft, Yao was very full, and then the two extinguished the fire , and continued to walk towards the entrance of the village shrouded in white mist.

Just like the previous two times, when the two walked for a day and reached the entrance of the village, a layer of white light would appear on their bodies, and then Yao would find that he was standing in the back hall of the ancestral hall again, which was the first time he appeared in this place. The location of the place, in the front hall just a stone statue away from Yao, Xuan Tan sat cross-legged in front of the fire, except for the hideous wound, everything else was exactly the same as the Xuan Tan Yao saw three days ago.

This is the weirdness of this village. As long as Yao and the others reach the border, they will be sent back to the ancestral hall in an instant. It seems that the time has been reset, but Xuan Tan's healing wound tells them that time is still passing , only the two of them were trapped in this weird cycle.

If only Xuan Tan was alone, he could have turned the whole village upside down and found out where the snake demon was, but because of Yao's existence, Xuan Tan had no way to break the situation.

Yao came out from the back hall and saw Xuan Tan proficiently fiddle with the fire with a helpless expression on his face. He walked to the scattered stones and began to study. The body of Mrs. Bai was a snake, so forget about the mist. This chaotic time His abilities seem to have nothing to do with snakes.

No, the position of the stone has been moved. Yao's fingers picked up two stones next to each other on the ground. The left and right eyes of the snake demon were engraved on them. These two stones appeared for the first time in Yao. When they were in the ancestral hall, they were still scattered in two places, but now they are about to be put together.Not only that, other parts of the stone also tend to fuse, and perhaps after a period of time, these broken stones will return to a complete stone statue.

Previously, Yao always thought that they were trapped in a cycle, but seeing the distribution of these stones, he suddenly had other ideas. Maybe this ancestral hall and the village outside are going backward in time, and every day, the village will become The appearance of the day before, and the time between him and Xuan Tan is flowing normally, and the two will be offset before returning to the original point.

To break out of this "stand still" situation, they only need to break one of the time flow rates, and they will be able to get out of trouble.Of course, compared to their own normal time, this ancestral hall is better to start with, and Yao still feels a familiar breath on these stones...

woo-

When Yao spliced ​​several obvious stones together, all the stones on the ground began to tremble, and then gathered at a speed visible to the naked eye, forming a serpentine stone statue again.A white light emerged from the stone statue, condensed in front of Yao, and turned into a thumb-sized mirror fragment.

Fragments of the spirit body!

After the spirit was shattered by the gods, the main body was scattered into the three thousand planes. Even though many were collected later with the help of Yao, there were still some small fragments scattered outside, and this small piece in front of it was one of them.The time mirror has two major abilities of predicting and looking back. Somehow, the small piece in front of it fell into the hands of the snake demon, and the snake demon took advantage of its ability to trap Yao and Xuan Tan here.

When Yao held the shard in his hand, the connection between the shard and the banshee was cut off in an instant, and the snake demon's exasperated voice sounded in the ancestral hall, and then the scene flashed before the two of them, and when they reappeared, they were already standing on top of a collapsed ruin Yes, this is the true appearance of the ancestral hall.

"Damn, hate, hate! How did you find this thing!"

The woman who appeared in front of the two was very beautiful, with icy muscles and fine bones, and a natural face. In the mortal world, she would be a confidante who could cause national disputes, but such a beauty has a pair of vertical pupils, which shows that she is a monster. At this time, because of her anger, the woman's pretty face turned cold, and she looked at Yao wishing she could eat him raw.

"As long as you give me another day, you will surely die one more day. It's really hateful. I'm going to kill you!"

The snake demon attacked Yao, but was stopped by Xuan Tan who had stood in front of Yao long ago.

"Monster, die!"

The Xuantan people were very quiet, they just punched when they went up, and the two fought for dozens of rounds in a blink of an eye, and the already dilapidated village became ruins among ruins.

The snake demon was not Xuan Tan's opponent. After a hundred rounds, he was injured by Xuan Tan's hand and fell heavily into the ruins. After being hit hard by this, the snake demon was aroused to become fierce and manifested itself. A giant white snake the size of a house appeared On the ruins, a ferocious snake head on the hovering body roared towards Xuan Tan.

Xuan Tan's complexion remained unchanged, he took off the Buddhist bead coiled on his wrist, under Xuan Tan's urging, the golden light of the Buddhist bead flourished, and appeared on the body of the snake demon in the blink of an eye, tightly bound the thick body of the snake demon live.The snake demon wailed in pain, and its tail swung wildly, bringing up countless broken stones, but it couldn't break free at all.

"Damn smelly monk, if you want to kill me, then I will kill him first!"

Regardless of the Buddha beads on his body, the snake demon spit out a cloud of white mist towards Yao, and the white mist instantly turned into an icicle and shot towards Yao. Seeing this scene, Xuan Tan's expression finally changed slightly , he rushed up and slapped the icicle with his palm, smashing it into pieces. Taking advantage of this moment of distraction, the snake demon broke away from the Buddha beads at his own expense, and fled into the distance.

Seeing that the snake demon was about to escape, a circle formed by a layer of golden light emerged, covering the space with a radius of several miles. Xuan Tan's Zen staff was suspended in the center of the circle, which he had arranged long ago.

The snake demon was blocked by the round shield, and lost the chance to escape. Xuan Tan had already caught up at this time, every move was full of murderous intent, and soon beat the snake demon to the point of bruises all over his body, and even his body shrunk a circle.

"Hahaha, I can't escape, so don't even think about it!"

The aura of the snake demon climbed up, and the shrunken body swelled up again. Xuan Tan could feel a frantic force swimming in the snake demon's body. The next second, a deafening sound sounded, and the snake body exploded in front of Xuan Tan.

Expose yourself!

Xuan Tan, who had expected it for a long time, had already propped up the protective cover, and was not afraid of the desperate attack of the snake demon. However, when the self-exposed impact hit the protective cover, Xuan Tan's expression changed instantly, it was too weak, this is not a snake at all The demon revealed that it should be destructive.

"not good!"

Xuan Tan immediately looked towards Yao in the distance, only to see a white light rushing into Yao's eyebrows in his horrified gaze through the cover of self-exposure.

"Yao!!!"

Yao's expression froze for a moment, as if he didn't understand what happened, and then he closed his eyes and collapsed under Xuan Tan's unbelievable gaze.

Xuan Tan flew down to Yao's side and caught Yao, pointing his finger between Yao's brows, exuding a palpitating terrifying aura all over his body, it was the madness about to lose everything.

No!Nothing at all!Yao's body was empty, but Xuan Tan saw the demon soul of the snake demon enter Yao's body with his own eyes, how could there be no such thing? !

Xuan Tan was very anxious, and immediately remembered that there was something in the Wuxiang Temple that was specifically aimed at demon souls, so he quickly picked up Yao and rushed towards the Wuxiang Temple.

At this time, Yao was unaware of what was happening outside. He was staring at the snake demon in the sea of ​​consciousness with big eyes and small eyes. The big eyes were him, and the small eyes were the snake demon trembling in the corner.

Boom... Who can tell her why the soul of this sick-looking man is so terrifying?Just a breath of air would scare her to death.

The snake demon not only lit a row of wax for herself who wanted to possess Yao to deal with Xuan Tan, this was definitely the biggest death she made in her cultivation career.

"My lord... No, Elder Immortal, the little demon has eyes that don't know Mount Tai, offended you, please don't remember the villain's mistakes, my lord, let the little demon go to reincarnate..."

"..."

On the back mountain of Wuxiang Temple, in addition to the Buddhist forest for monks to practice, there is also a nine-story tower, which is the famous Demon Locking Tower.There are nine floors in the Demon Locking Tower, where demons of different cultivation levels are imprisoned, but few people know that the Demon Locking Tower actually has ten floors, and there is also an underground floor.

There are no monsters imprisoned on the basement floor, and the whole space is extremely empty, but there is a hexagonal pool in the center, filled with a silver liquid, the liquid is thicker than water, and exudes a fragrance, which is used to slowly weaken the monster's strength. Spiritual intelligence, causing the demon to degenerate into a state of undeveloped spiritual intelligence.

Throughout the ages, those big demons that cannot be killed will be sealed in the demon-locking tower. With the help of the silver spring's ability to wear down the demon's intelligence, they will be finally eliminated. It can be said that the silver spring is the basis for the existence of the entire demon-locking tower.

After Xuan Tan returned to the Wuxiang Temple, he went straight to the basement level, stood by the silver pool, and silently recited a scripture in his mouth, and only put Yao into the pool when the entire basement level was lit up with silver light. It is to use the power of the entire Demon Locking Tower to deal with the snake demon spirit.

This kind of behavior is a violation of the taboo of the demon-locking tower. If any evil spirits take the opportunity to escape, Xuan Tan will be the sinner of the entire Wuxiang Temple. But at this time, Yao's life is at stake, and Xuan Tan doesn't care so much.

Yao's sleeping body sank and was gradually wrapped by spring water. Xuan Tan sat down cross-legged on the bank, holding a hexagonal stone plate in his hand, which was the key to controlling the demon-locking tower.

Under Xuan Tan's control, the energy in the silver spring began to gather towards Yao's body, forming a small vortex around Yao's body.

Yao's body was washed by the spring water, and wisps of black evil spirit overflowed from his body. As the evil spirit was drawn out, Yao's face began to distort, obviously in great pain.

"what--"

Yao, who was in a coma, groaned in pain, the growing pain made his whole body curl up, his teeth bit his lip, and bright red blood dripped from the corner of his mouth, which was so dazzling on his pale face.

Seeing Yao's appearance, Xuan Tan's heart tightened suddenly, regret, heartache, guilt... waves of strange emotions impacted his stable state of mind.Thinking back over and over again what happened in recent days, he couldn't help thinking that if he didn't get rid of this snake demon, Yao wouldn't be implicated by him, wouldn't be caught in a life-and-death dilemma, and wouldn't have to suffer such a big crime...

If he can't even protect the people he cares about, what's the use of getting rid of demons?If Yao is lost, even if he saves the world, what's the point?

—Did he do something wrong?

As soon as doubtful thoughts arise, Xuan Tan's mind is entangled like vines overwhelmingly. Sweat drips from Xuan Tan's forehead, and the stone plate in his hand hums and trembles. , All the demons in the Demon Locking Tower felt the power of the Demon Locking Tower plummeted, and with a little more, they would have a chance to regain their freedom.

And what about Yao at this time?He stood expressionlessly in the sea of ​​consciousness, his body's reactions all came from instinct, and had nothing to do with him at all. Xuan Tan's reaction was a surprise, but he could feel that the Buddha who wanted to break Xuan Tan with these The heart is not enough, he has to add another fire.

With Yao's permission, the snake demon quickly escaped from Yao's sea of ​​consciousness, and then annihilated in the Silver Spring. Without the existence of the snake demon, Yao immediately returned to his body. As his consciousness recovered, he gradually discovered the weakness of his body. , I couldn't even stand up from the pool.

"Cough...cough..."

Seeing Yao woke up, the stone in Xuan Tan's heart finally fell to the ground, and hurriedly walked down to the pool to hug Yao out, Yao's body was weakly leaning on Xuan Tan, although his face was pale, there was darkness in those dark eyes. With a flickering light, he leaned close to Xuan Tan's ear and said softly in a deep voice: "Master Xuan Tan, there is no way to repay you for saving your life, you can only promise it with your body..."

Xuan Tan's body was shaken, and a turbulent wave surged in his heart instantly. All fears, worries, and joys rushed up at this moment, making him want to agree to Yao desperately, but after a pause for a long time, he still lowered his eyes and spoke calmly. He said: "Your Highness, you are tired, and the poor monk will send you back to rest."

Yao looked at Xuan Tan for a moment, and felt that the monk was duplicity, so he simply raised his head and kissed the corner of Xuan Tan's lips... Unfortunately, before he could see Xuan Tan's reaction, his body reached its limit, and Yao fainted again.

……

Yao slept for two full days, plus the three days he had been missing, even the emperor who was far away in the capital was alarmed. When he woke up, he found Wei Yi and other four dead men kneeling in a row, and The maids and servants he had left down the mountain also appeared in the room.

"Your Highness, how do you feel?"

"It's all due to the ineffectiveness of the guards. His Highness was robbed by the gangsters, and the subordinates then went to receive the punishment."

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..."

Everyone was chattering around the bed, but Yao didn't answer their intentions. His whole mind was attracted by the things he felt before unconsciousness. The hot touch fell on his lips, showing the strong possessiveness of his master. want.

Heh... this monk has broken his lust...
