[Ancient Sword II] Morning Light Shadow

The magic circle leading to the lower realm is only found in the Tianfu Palace now, and when the Pojun priest left, the Tianfu priest Congyang was bragging and chatting with his friends, a perfect alibi.

- No wonder! ! !

Shen Xi, who was taken as an alibi, was holding a shadow bead with an uncertain expression.

"Miss Xi...doesn't seem to be in a good mood?" Yun Yu asked cautiously, "The weather is fine today, why don't I accompany you out for a walk?"

Shen Xi shook her head: "I don't want to go out... By the way, what's the situation with my brother? Are you still sending people to the lower realm?"

"Nowadays there are only a limited number of people who can be infected by the devil's energy. If the high priest said that they would all be sent out to track down the whereabouts of the Pojun Priest, there would be no manpower to continue to deal with the construction of the stronghold." Apparently, Yun Yu came here after inquiring about the news first.

Is this to temporarily let Xie Yi go?

However, if all the people who can be mobilized are really sent to track down his whereabouts, it will indeed cause a shortage of available people, and... just now I have dealt with a group of people who made excuses. At this time, it is really not suitable to continue to make excuses up.

After hesitating for a moment, Shen Xi got up, picked up a porcelain jar at the far corner of the shelf, lifted the lid, and threw the shadow bead in, a puff of white smoke immediately rose.With a slight hissing sound, the shadow orb was completely corroded by the liquid in the tank, leaving no remains, only an unpleasant pungent smell in the air, implying that the shadow orb had once existed.

"What are you messing with again? Burning bugs? Why is it so bad?"

Before the man from Congyang came in, the voice had already arrived, "What a little girl, why do you play with bugs all day and make yourself so weird?"

Shen Xi turned around and put the porcelain jar back to its original position: "Destroy the corpse for you."

"Ha, there are corpses and you need to destroy them? Why don't you just take them to my place? I've been busy lately!" Cong Yangman said indifferently.

"Don't worry, a batch will be sent to you soon..."

Hearing Shen Xi's meaningful voice, Cong Yang couldn't help shivering: "Could it be because of Xie..."

"What do you think?" Shen Xi spread her hands, "To be honest, if it wasn't for my brother not wanting to pursue it anymore... it would probably be like it was 11 years ago."

"Are you kidding me? The high priest also has times of mercy?"

Shen Xi continued to spread her hands: "Who told you to get involved, if you really want to pursue it, half of the people in the temple may have gone in."

Cong Yang averted his eyes guiltily: "How could I be implicated? Who made the rumor?"

"When Xie Yi left Liuyue City, you were with me..." Shen Xi said with a half-smile, "There is no accident in this world, only inevitability, even if it has nothing to do with you, at least there is a duty to guard the magic circle. ?”

"...What should I do if there is such a coincidence?"

"The shadow bead I destroyed just now recorded the scene where you discussed that matter." Shen Xi casually pointed to the porcelain pot in the corner.

Cong Yang jumped up all of a sudden: "Impossible! Master obviously checked the bugs without you before—"

Why, why did you recruit yourself? !

Shen Xi hid her face silently: Little friend, your IQ is beyond recovery, what should I do... It's not that I want to give up treating you, believe me...

"Wait! You lied to me?!"

"Is it necessary to cheat if you are so stupid?" Shen Xi gave her a white look, "Why can't I cultivate Gu worms to the point where your master can't detect them?"

"...Are you that smart?" Cong Yang turned his head expressionlessly.

"It's enough to be smarter than you anyway."

"Goodbye, our friendship has come to an end."

Although the method of infecting demon energy and resisting turbid energy has not been promoted to the whole city, forming an alliance with the demon is already a certainty.

Then, the priests of the temple began to distribute a dark red stone to the residents of the city, called the Magic Pact Stone, which was the token of the covenant between the heart demon and the high priest.

"Should I take it too?" Shen Xi used two fingers to pick up the silk rope tied with the pendant made of the magic contract stone, and shook it.

Shen Ye nodded, took the silk rope, put it on her younger sister's neck, and rubbed her head lightly: "Xiaoxi remember, no matter what happens, you can't take this off."

Although after the previous experience of being invaded by demonic energy, Shen Xi has already determined that the inner demon can't actually hurt herself, but since carrying this can make his brother feel at ease, it doesn't matter if there is more weight.What's more, Shen Xi also knows that she is actually a war scum, and sneak attacks such as Gu poison are very useful, but they are very restricted. wonderful.

But now that even the magic contract stone has been made, after the alliance is formed, it may not be far away to help Li Ying throw the tree branches and leaves into the human world.

"Brother really intends to put the branches and leaves in the lower realm, so that the people in the lower realm will be infected with demonic energy and go crazy?"

As soon as Shen Xi spoke, the two fell into silence.

I don't know how long it took, Shen Ye seemed to wake up with a start, closed his eyes forcefully, then opened them, and looked at his younger sister.

"Does Xiao Xi not agree with cooperating with Li Ying?"

"It's no longer necessary to say whether you like it or not..." Shen Xi lowered her gaze, "Besides this, there is no other way, is there?"

Hearing this, Shen Ye was slightly taken aback, and after a while, he showed a smile, a little relieved and a little helpless.

Since the brother and sister were sent to Jumu 23 years ago, Shen Xi has always maintained the appearance of a nine-year-old girl and has never grown up... Her immature face has not changed, and her stature is still insufficient, but she was originally innocent and innocent. The growing maturity and rationality in Xie's eyes is the proof that the girl is growing up slowly.

"...Is there something on my face?" Shen Xi touched her cheek subconsciously, "What is brother looking at?"

Shen Ye smiled and shook his head: "Brother is thinking, Xiao Xi has really grown up...and already knows to share his worries."

"Didn't I help a little by playing every day before?" Shen Xi said that as long as you dare to say it is me, I will release your private video.

But now this puffy look is quite childish...

While thinking about it, Shen Ye rubbed his younger sister's neat hair into a mess with all his strength.

"...Don't make fun of me if you come to tell you something serious!"

Shen Xi twisted her body and jumped far away, "As the priest of Tianfu said, it may take more time to find out the general tolerance of ordinary city residents to demonic energy. The resistance is stronger, but the high priest cares about the citizens of the city, so he should find the safest way to be infected with the devil energy, so that his future work will be more effective with half the effort."

As for when you can find out this universal value... Different people have different opinions.

Considering that the inner demon might be watching in the dark, Shen Xi still didn't say a word, but with the tacit understanding between siblings for many years, Shen Ye quickly thought of her unfinished words.

"Furthermore, my Lieshan tribe is a race of gods after all, and we are naturally repelled by the devil's energy. If we want to adapt to the devil's energy, I think it will take some time...I'm afraid that Li Ying will have to wait a little longer." It's been a while."

The 5000-year language art of China is extensive and profound, and the contract represented by the magic contract stone is too rough. It is not too easy to find some loopholes to take advantage of a verbal agreement that has not been implemented in black and white at all.

For Shen Xi, there was no need to think about finding a few excuses to delay time, and he could just come up with a few reasons that could withstand scrutiny.

The so-called knowledge changes destiny, those who have no knowledge... can only be cheated.
