Xue Yao was lying on the beam, with one hand resting on the back of his head, and the other hand twisting a Dongzhu.

The night was deep, and there was no other sound except for a few cicadas outside the yard.Although it was midsummer at this time, the night in Jialou Mountain was still a bit chilly.Xue Yao raised the bead to his eyes and looked at it carefully.

Chongxue slept too much during the day, and didn't feel sleepy at night. At this time, she was lying on the bed full of energy and talking to Xue Yao about some daily life in Kaiyun Temple.Xue Yao lay quietly on the beam, listening to Chongxue absent-mindedly.His eyes were downcast, not knowing what he was thinking.

This is the third night that Chongxue stayed in Qingxintang.Chongxue came from Kaiyun Temple with a sensitive and special identity. Although the past few days had been calm, Xue Yao did not dare to take it lightly. He stayed in Chongxue's room for several consecutive nights.

Even if Lin Jinhuan and Yan Qing turned a blind eye to Chongxue's identity, Situ Kun might not be willing to let it go.They did too many dirty things in Kaiyun Temple, keeping the heavy snow in fear that they would pull out carrots and bring out mud, and more and more scandals would be pulled out.

And Lin Chao, if Lin Chao knew about this, he might not be able to tolerate Chong Xue, who escaped from Kaiyun Temple.

Xue Yao thought that in the eyes of others, he was already a seed of infatuation, so he simply did not stop doing two things, and after a few days, when Chong Xue's health recovered, he would give her a status and let her sleep in his bedroom at night justifiably. The outside room can also cut off those little thoughts waiting for an opportunity in the dark.

I hope the future wife doesn't mind my romantic affair, Xue Yao looked at Dongzhu in his hand, thinking a little self-deprecatingly.

Although Xue Yao was not a gentle and careful person, he was not in a hurry to rub salt in other people's wounds, so he was not in a hurry to ask her about Kaiyun Temple these days.In the morning, Jin Yi came to Qingxintang to examine Chongxue's pulse. Her pulse condition is no longer serious, and her trauma has recovered a lot.Seeing how she was dancing and dancing, Xue Yao thought she was in a good mood, so Xue Yao followed Chongxue's words and asked unintentionally, "Why did the Jiutianmen imprison you in Kaiyun Temple?"

Chongxue fell silent when she heard the words, and after a while she said truthfully: "I don't know, no one has ever mentioned it." Chongxue seemed to remember something, turned to look out the window, and muttered in a low mood: "No I know what happened to Peiwen and the others."

Peiwen should be Chongxue's close little sister in Kaiyun Temple, and Xue Yao heard Chongxue mention it several times in just a few days.With a thought, Xue Yao asked, "How long has Peiwen been in Kaiyun Temple?"

Chongxue thought for a moment, and said: "It should be nine or ten years. She was kidnapped by the people of Jiutianmen when she was five years old, and her parents died at the hands of Jiutianmen."

It is known that the Jiutianmen's living sacrifice ceremony is held every 15 years, but the exact year it will be held, the Privy Council has only made a general survey over the years, but has not found out the exact year and month.According to the secret report of the Privy Council, the next grand ceremony is approaching.

If we know when the first group of people entered Kaiyun Temple, we can roughly infer the time when the grand ceremony will be held.So Xue Yao asked: "Among you, who has spent the longest time in Kaiyuan Temple?"

Chongxue recalled it in her heart and said: "It should be Qiniang. She has been on Jialou Mountain for 13 years. She was originally born in a wealthy family in the south of the Yangtze River. She got lost when she and her family went to the street to watch lanterns on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. Come to Kaiyuan Temple."

It seems that in order to collect these three thousand sacrifices, Jiutianmen really did everything they could to burn, kill and loot.Xue Yao thought, behind these 3000 people, there are still many families who have been broken up and their wives have been separated.

Chongxue was mentioned by Xue Yao, and she belatedly began to worry about the sisters imprisoned with her in Kaiyun Temple. She sat up and half sat up, and asked a little uneasily: "Jiang Shao that bastard once said Next year we won't be in Kaiyun Temple, no...not playing for nothing. Brother Xue, what does he mean by that? Where will they be sent next year?"

Chongxue's words immediately refreshed Xue Yao, and Xue Yao asked, "What did Jiang Shao say in the original words?"

Chongxue hesitated for a moment, and then vividly recounted the scene when Jiang Shao said this. Xue Yao frowned as he listened to those swear words, and kept annoyed that he had shot too fast and let Jiang Shao, a bastard, die. It's too much fun.

Chongxue is young, and the range of activities in Kaiyun Temple is limited. Xue Yao originally didn't intend to find out any important information from her, but he didn't expect to have unexpected gains.Relying on what Xue said, the 3000 live sacrifices at Jiutianmen are likely to be next year.

It seems that the eradication of Jiutianmen is imminent, and Xiao Pei needs to be notified to draw up a set of regulations as soon as possible.

After Chongxue finished repeating Jiang Shao's original words, seeing Xue Yao's delay in speaking, he felt more and more uneasy.She looked up at the corner of Xue Yao's clothes, and asked anxiously: "Brother Xue, where will everyone be sent next year?"

Xue Yao came back to his senses, he put the beads back into his arms, and said in a low voice: "You don't need to go anywhere, you can go home next year."

Chongxue never thought that the sisters in the temple would still have the hope of returning home in their lifetime. She sat up from the bed and said in surprise, "Really! Then..."

At such a moment, the surrounding mountains and rivers suddenly changed color, and a strong demonic energy struck from far and near with overwhelming force.In just a short moment, the entire Qingxin Hall was shrouded in a terrifying atmosphere that was about to rain.

"Shhh." Xue Yao signaled Chongxue to keep quiet. He sensed that the person who came was powerful and should not be underestimated.

These ghosts and monsters finally couldn't stand it any longer.

Xue Yao immediately hid his aura, and told Chongxue with a breathy voice: "Calm down, go back to bed and lie down and don't talk, I won't let you get into trouble."

Under the strong coercion, Chongxue's body couldn't help but began to tremble, she buried herself in the quilt as she said, and secretly held her breath.

The dark clouds in the sky covered the moonlight, and the stars all over the sky lost their brilliance in an instant, and the surroundings suddenly darkened.Gusts of evil wind raged past, making the windows creak.In this weird atmosphere, the coercive pressure is gradually approaching the snow-heavy room.

coming.Xue Yao thought to himself.

The next moment, the door opened.

The surroundings suddenly became quiet, there was no wind, no cicadas outside the house, not even the footsteps of people coming.

In the silence, someone spoke, "Little girl."

Chongxue closed her eyes tightly, not daring to make a sound.

The visitor continued: "Don't pretend, I know you're not asleep."

Xue Yao's whole body trembled, he was all too familiar with this voice.Although the cold voice of this person made him feel extremely strange at the moment, he knew that it was Lin Jinhuan who came.

Xue Yao pressed the saber beside him tightly with his hand.

The heavy snow wrapped the quilt tightly around her body, and the coercion around Lin Jinhuan made her break out in a cold sweat, but she didn't dare to speak, or even breathe, for fear of revealing the slightest breath.

But such a top expert like Lin Jinhuan can be fooled by a little girl.The figure by the door flashed for a moment, and reappeared next to Chongxue's bed in the next instant.

Lin Jinhuan's movement tonight was a little unusual.

Lin Jinhuan grabbed Chongxue by the back of the neck, roughly dragged her out of the quilt, and threw her backhand on the ground mercilessly.

Chongxue fell to the ground heavily, knocking down a small table with a medicine bowl on it, and the broken medicine bowl cut Chongxue's hands to bloody flesh.She was lying on the ground covered in blood, shaking like chaff.

His hands are so cold.At this critical juncture, Chong Xue's mind was blank, she thought endlessly: It's not like a living person.

Lin Jinhuan stood aside and looked down at Chongxue for a moment, until Chongxue could hardly bear his gaze, then he stepped forward slowly, condescending and squatting in front of Chongxue.

Lin Jinhuan raised his hand to gently stroke her chin, forcing her to look at him.

Chongxue closed her eyes, her back molars were shaking uncontrollably.When she was in Chaoshantang last time, she had the courage to secretly look at the little sect master. At that time, she only thought that he was handsome and kind, so she couldn't help but feel good about him.And this person in front of her was like a ghost crawling up from hell, which made her dare not open her eyes to look at him.

"What a handsome face, no wonder he likes it." Lin Jinhuan raised Chongxue's chin, narrowed his eyes and looked carefully.His cold fingers gently rubbed the girl's face, as if he was playing with a precious treasure, but the words in his mouth made people shudder.

Lin Jinhuan approached Chongxue's face, and said softly, "Am I killing you, or ruining your face?"

Lin Jinhuan's sudden approach made Chongxue open her eyes in fright, and she stared in horror at the face that was so close.Lin Jinhuan's eyes were extremely cold.Crazy purple light flashed faintly in his pupils, and he bared his teeth and claws as if he was going to tear her apart in the next moment.

"Or send you back to Kaiyun Temple?" Lin Jinhuan gave the third option in a reasonable manner.

Chongxue couldn't control it anymore, tears welled up in his eyes.She struggled to escape from Lin Jinhuan's grasp, but to no avail.The slender hand held her firmly like iron tongs, and a little force could crush her jaw.

Xue Yao held his breath and looked at Lin Jinhuan silently on the beam, his hand was already on the scabbard.Xue Yao arched his back, and his whole body collapsed into a bow and arrow ready to go.He knew that Lin Jinhuan was really intent on killing, but if Lin Jinhuan made the next move, the sword in his hand would mercilessly attack Lin Jinhuan's back.

"Ah, I'm joking with you, why are you crying, silly girl, I really feel sorry for you." Lin Jinhuan's expression softened again.Seeing Chongxue crying with pear blossoms in the rain, the moody big devil let go of his hand without interest, and stood up again, as if he had really changed his mind.

Chongxue fell to the ground and finally cried on the ground, but she remained silent and didn't even dare to look in Xue Yao's direction.Neither did she reveal that she could speak, nor did she let Lin Jinhuan realize that there was actually another person in the room.

Lin Jinhuan stood with his hands behind his back, calmly looking at the heavy snow on the ground, and said in a cold voice: "Keep your mouth shut." He said, Shi Shiran walked towards the door: "If you let him know something that he shouldn't know , I will definitely cut off your tongue, and goug out your beautiful eyes."

As soon as Lin Jinhuan finished speaking, the figure disappeared in an instant, the terrifying demonic energy receded like a tide, and the sky gradually brightened.

Xue Yao fell from the beam, and rationally told him that he should settle the heavy snow at this moment, and make plans for the rest.But he couldn't take care of that much for a while, and chased Lin Jinhuan in the direction he left.

Xue Yao chased him out of Qingxintang with lightning speed, but Lin Jinhuan had long since disappeared.Xue Yao stood numbly at the fork in the road, feeling that the impulse that rushed into his mind just now subsided little by little.

He looked into the distance towards the mountain hall and thought in a daze: Even if he catches up with him, what can he say?

He once thought that the people from Jiutianmen would not let Chongxue go easily, but he didn't expect that it would be Lin Jinhuan who came.Xue Yao could no longer excuse Lin Jinhuan in his heart.

But Xue Yao has always been an extremely conceited person, he only believes in his own eyes and his own heart.Even now, he still believes that Lin Jinhuan's good things in the past are all true.In this world, his likes and his evils are all true.

He originally wanted to catch up with Lin Jinhuan and ask him why Jiutianmen did these evil things, why did they sacrifice so many innocent lives for nothing.But he soon realized that this was not something that a libertine, the fourth son of the Xue family in the capital, should ask.

Why bother to explore so many reasons, Xue Yao turned around and walked to Qingxintang. He actually thought of a lot of things in the past three days, and Xue Yao didn't want to go against his own heart and completely deny his goodness.But he is evil, and he will erase it with his own hands.

Xue Yao even thought jokingly in his heart: at worst, after eradicating the Nine Heavens Gate, he will take this little sect master back to Beijing by force, lock him in the high-walled courtyard of the Privy Council, and stay by his side honestly every day, and see how he will come out to make trouble again .

***

Lin Jinhuan used [-]% of his internal strength, and seemed to escape from Qingxintang.

He galloped in the dark night, his figure was as fast as a ray of light, the wind blew his robe, and the surrounding scenery receded step by step.

He didn't know whether Xue Yao had noticed the movement here, and he didn't dare to think about it.

Lin Jinhuan's eyes were red, and the purple marks on his forehead seemed to be protruding from his skin. His inner mansion was already a mess, and the devilish energy was wantonly killing what little sanity he had left.He seems to be calm these days, but inside he is suffering.

The news that Jinyi brought back tonight blew out the last thought in his mind. Hearing that Xue Yao treated her very well, he even had the idea of ​​letting her into the room.

Qixie magnified all his evil thoughts, "cowardice" made him dare not face Xue Yao, but "jealousy" made him turn around and bully a defenseless girl.Followed by "greed" and "uneasy".All kinds of delusional thoughts ignited in Lianxi Hall came back again, and countless thoughts entangled him, all of which were despicable and despicable.He even had the idea that I would rather bear the world's people than the world's people bear me.

What does the fate of this little girl named Chongxue mean, what does the three thousand lives in Kaiyun Temple mean, and what do those people who will be filled in the blood pit one after another in the future mean.

The life of a mortal is only a few decades, which is too short for a cultivator.They are busy and busy every day, ignorant and ridiculous, but they are all the most insignificant mayflies.God allowed him to dominate these ordinary and small mortals at will, so why should he give up.

Lin Jinhuan was taken aback by the thoughts in his mind, he suddenly woke up at the last moment when he was overwhelmed by evil thoughts, and fell into complete self-loathing after hastily fleeing.

Between all kinds of evil thoughts, you sang and I came on stage, Lin Jinhuan thought a little indifferently: The Lin family of Jialou Mountain really has the dirtiest blood in the world.

In the blink of an eye, Lin Jinhuan came to the other side of Jialou Mountain. He crossed the stone bridge to the nameless cave where Xue Yao healed.Standing by the spring, Lin Jinhuan broke through the ice with brute force, and sank headfirst into the bone-piercing Infinite Spring.

Lin Jinhuan opened his eyes in the icy water, staring at the light on the surface of the water, allowing himself to sink slowly.All the quarreling voices in my mind finally stopped all of a sudden.An ancient echo from Huang Zhong Dalu sounded beside his ears.

An old voice sounded in my mind: All conditioned dharmas are like dreams and bubbles, like dew or electricity, and should be viewed as such.
