burning lamp

Xie Fengshu felt guilty, suddenly raised his head: "No!"

After he finished speaking, he realized that his movements were a little too loud, and he coughed lightly and asked, "What did you just say about the village?"

Jiang Chen frowned lightly, looked at him for a moment before saying: "You will know when you go back."

When Xie Fengshu and Jiang Chen returned to the bamboo building, Xiaoxi was already standing at the door.He held a long whip in his hand, and his expression was not good, as if he had just experienced a fierce battle.Seeing the two came back, Xiaoxi glanced at Xie Fengshu first, then frowned and turned to ask Jiang Chen: "Is it the Demon Sect?"

Jiang Chen nodded, paused and said, "It's Langjin."

Xiaoxi's complexion changed slightly, and he blurted out: "Impossible."

This name seemed to touch the scales of Xiaoxi Ni, he looked at Jiang Chen, gritted his teeth and said: "He can't come out of there."

They should be talking about the black-clothed demon cultivator just now. It seems that all three of them know each other.

Xie Fengshu listened to the two people's questions and answers, just like when Jiang Chen was talking to that demon cultivator named Lang Jin just now, still unable to get in his mouth.He suddenly felt a little uncomfortable - this discomfort was not due to other reasons, but he suddenly found himself with Jiang Chen and Xiao Xi, and he was indeed an outsider in many things, with a subtle sense of alienation.

He only thought for a moment, and then laughed at himself, what a mess, his mind is as small as a sesame seed, it's embarrassing.

"It's just a phantom, not the real body."

"Even if it's a phantom, how could-"

"I don't know."

Jiang Chen didn't seem to want to say more, so he answered briefly and looked at Xie Fengshu.

"Just now, Xiaoxi and I heard the movement from your side, and wanted to come over to have a look. We met Moxiu in the corridor."

Xie Fengshu was surprised, and hurriedly asked: "Are you all okay?"

Seeing Jiang Chen shaking his head, Xie Fengshu immediately turned to look outside the corridor: "Where are the people in the village?"

When he asked the words, he realized something was wrong.

The village was extremely quiet at the moment. When they came back from drinking just now, they could occasionally hear the chirping of birds and insects, or the sound of the wind blowing the leaves, but it was silent now.

This kind of silence is not the silence of all things in the middle of the night, but more like the dead silence without living things, as if there are only three of them left in the world.

And above the sky, there is a layer of gray and extremely light mist covering it at this time, and the starry sky that was bright just now is obscured and dimmed.

It's a bit like the cloud and mist that hangs over Wuming Mountain all the year round, but Xie Fengshu knew something was wrong just by looking at it.

This is magic.

Xiaoxi said: "It's been like this since we fought with Moxiu. The devil's energy is scattered, and there is no movement in the village."

Xie Fengshu's heart tightened, and he looked at Jiangchen suddenly, and Xiaoxi at the side guessed what he was thinking, snorted coldly and said: "What are you worrying about, I have already seen, everyone is fine, just fell asleep .”

Xie Fengshu's heart fell to the ground, and he had some doubts.

This is strange, if it is normal, it would be understandable if he fell asleep at night, but since Xiaoxi has touched someone, there must be some movement—according to his dog temper, the movement is probably not small.

That being the case, with so many people, someone should always be alarmed, even if it is to light a lamp?

But at this moment, the night was boundless, and the tall and short bamboo houses were hidden without a trace. At first glance, the three of them seemed to be standing in the wilderness.

Xie Fengshu hadn't found the reason yet, Jiang Chen said first: "Just wait until tomorrow."

Other than that, there is no other way.

Xie Fengshu was still a little worried, and cast a spell to create a barrier to protect the entire village.Jiang Chen watched him finish all this, turned around and wanted to enter the house, Xie Fengshu jumped in front of the other party first, and just arrived outside Jiang Chen's door.

"and many more."

Jiang Chen looked at Xie Fengshu, Xie Fengshu leaned against the door, looked back at him calmly, and asked, "Are you still asleep?"

He asked this question confidently and shamelessly, Jiang Chen looked down at him for a moment, but still did not refute, Xie Fengshu took the opportunity and said: "I'm not sleepy, why don't we chat?"

Before Jiang Chen could speak, Xiao Xi, who had stepped into the door with one foot, had turned his head and frowned at the two of them, asking, "It's the middle of the night, and the two of you are alone, what's there to talk about?"

His tone was very unkind, as if he had witnessed a sheep go into the mouth of a tiger, or caught a private meeting of a lonely man and a widow in the middle of the night, and one of the members of the private meeting was a member of his family.

Strange, Xie Fengshu raised his eyebrows, and made a "please" gesture towards the room: "Bingzhu night talk, why not stay together?"

Sure enough, Xiaoxi immediately said "Who wants to talk to you at night"!After finishing speaking, he entered the room and slammed the door hard.

Xie Fengshu looked at Jiang Chen innocently, and finally followed behind him and entered the door as he wished.

The layout of Jiangchen's room is exactly the same as that of Xie Fengshu's, except that there is an extra jade-like ancient lamp on his desk.

It was the one in Jiangchen Temple, still reddish and the size of a soybean, burning quietly.

Xie Fengshu always had to find a foreshadowing when talking about things, so he had nothing to say: "Does this lamp need to be refueled?"

"Need not."

"No need to change the core?"

"……Need not."

Seeing that Xie Fengshu wanted to reach out to touch the lamp, Jiang Chen took the lead and said, "Wait."

He recited a formula lightly, and Xie Fengshu was taken aback for a moment, only to realize that the other party should have set up a barrier on the lamp to prevent others from touching it.

So careful, is this lamp some kind of Buddhist magic weapon, the most precious thing in the world?

Xie Fengshu thought about this, and carefully looked around the lamp up and down, but still didn't see anything special about it, Jiang Chen over there had already asked, "What do you want to say? "

Xie Fengshu regained his senses, no longer cared about the lamp, and looked at the monk in front of him: "I want to ask who is that Lang Jin?"

"Why are you asking this?"

"He seems to know me." Xie Fengshu spread his hands, "That posture, as if he wanted to eat my flesh and drink my blood, and said that I am not worthy of becoming a fairy."

Jiang Chen's tone was calm and unwavering: "Whether you deserve it or not is not up to him."

... Coincidentally, that's what I told him too.

Xie Fengshu cleared his throat: "That's what I said, but it's always right to ask clearly, maybe you can find some clues to the horoscope."

After a while, Jiang Chen spoke slowly: "He is the protector of the old demon sect's master, Feng Ji. The demon sect is headed by Feng Ji, and Lang Jin is next."

Silence?Guardian?Demon Sect?

Xie Fengshu thought for a long time, but his mind was still blank.There was never any record in the fairy books he read in Wuming Mountain, so Xie Fengshu could only continue to ask the monk in front of him.

"What do you mean by old days?"

Could it be that the Great Sect Master of the Demon Sect has collapsed?

Jiang Chen was silent for a long time this time, there was no sound outside the house, and the lights in the house flickered slightly. Xie Fengshu suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in this quietness, and was about to say hello to bring this question over, but the person in front of him was already I spoke.

"700 years ago, Feng Ji led a group of demons into the world by the demon sect, bloodbathed the human world, created a large number of killings, and was beheaded and killed in the Sumeru Mirror.

"His corpse, Lang Jin, and other demon cultivators were imprisoned by the heavens in the crossing realm outside the Three Realms, and they will never be allowed to enter the world."

"...Beheaded at the Mingjingtai, no wonder you and Xiaoxi know each other."

But with a few words, Jiang Chen said it very simply, it seems that it is not worth mentioning, but Xie Fengshu heard it for the first time, and he was taken aback for a while.He had never heard of the Demon Sect, but now thinking of the scorched earth on the Mirror Stage, combined with Lang Jin's words in the bamboo forest, he had an extremely terrifying thought.

"You won't be the one who killed the Demon Sect's Sect Master, Feng Ji?"

If so, what is the origin of this monk!

Jiang Chen replied: "No."

His expression was indifferent, it didn't look like he was lying, he looked up at Xie Fengshu and said: "Is there anything else you want to ask?"

"……Gone."

In fact, Xie Fengshu still had something to say, the order to chase away guests was so obvious, Xie Fengshu stood up wisely, thought for a while and said, "Thank you for saving me tonight."

He didn't say such words, and touched his nose in a daze, a little shyly: "Although I can't die, but without you, I will definitely be injured tonight."

His thanks were extremely sincere, and he thought that Jiang Chen would say "no thanks", or "should", or just nod his head, but after a while after Xie Fengshu finished speaking, Jiang Chen still didn't respond nothing.

Xie Fengshu couldn't hold back his face, pretended nothing happened and walked out obediently, when he stepped out the door, he finally heard "Xie Fengshu" from behind.

Xie Fengshu's footsteps paused slightly, and Jiang Chen's voice behind him was low, like a gentle sigh.

"Be careful in the future."

His voice was too sweet, like a gust of night wind falling on Xie Fengshu's ears, Xie Fengshu's ears became hot for no reason.The widowed old fairy, who had been immovable for hundreds of years, suddenly turned into a handful of mountain spring water because of this exhortation, and it was still dangling in his chest, making him dare not even turn his head back, so he answered vaguely "knew".

After going out and calming down on the porch for a while, Xie Fengshu's three souls and seven souls returned to his place, and then he felt that his appearance was a bit funny-it's not that Erba girl met her lover, but my immortal gentleman met a monk, why should I be ashamed? .
