There are not many villains like him.

Xiao Lianbi stiffly turned his gaze from the demons beside him back to the runes in front of him, these runes were densely packed together in black, the more he looked at it, the more disturbed he felt.

And the demons next to him were still staring at Xiao Lianbi closely, for fear that Xiao Lianbi would do some tricks inadvertently.

He secretly took a deep breath, and decided to use the stunt of fooling people that he hadn't used for many years, but just as he was about to speak, the runes on the formation's eyes suddenly emitted a burst of white brilliance.After the brilliance faded, the originally cumbersome runes turned into words he could understand.

Seeing this, Xiao Lianbi immediately took a few steps forward, squinting his eyes half-closed to look at the writing on it, "... Qinxiao and Ming?" He read out the remaining four words on it.

"Could it be that the Demon Monarch forgot to unlock the enchantment technique?" The Demon Race next to him urged again, and the suspicion in his eyes became deeper.

Xiao Lianbi didn't even move his eyelids, he just stared at the words above. "Qin Xiao and Ming"?

Tan Hanzhou had never stroked the qin or played the Xiao in front of him. What do the words "qin, Xiao and Ming" mean?

Is it a tune?Or an allusion to an instrument?Or is it pointing to something or someone?

There are countless conjectures flooding into his mind at this moment, Xiao Lianbi pursed his lips, the longer he hesitates, the more likely he will be suspected, he can only take the risk now, no matter whether he succeeds or not, he has to gamble .

So he mobilized his spiritual power to point to the eyes of the array, and silently recited the name of a well-known qin melody in his heart. As expected, the barrier did not move at all, and even the words "Qin Xiao He Ming" seemed to become bigger some.

"Devil Lord." The demon clan shouted again, "If you don't open the barrier and prove your identity, your subordinates will only be offended."

Xiao Lianbi gritted his teeth and gave the other party a sharp look. He also knew that there were countless scores for Qin Xiao, how could he guess it all at once, not to mention that the four words "Qin Xiao He Ming" did not necessarily refer to the title of the song!

Thinking of this, Xiao Lianbi didn't bother to entangle with this enchantment anymore, raised his hand and quickly summoned arrows of spiritual power, and shot around the demon clan, trapping the opponent and blocking the opponent's actions.

Seeing this, the Demon Race had a stern expression on his face, "I knew you must be a counterfeit! How could such a noble person as the Demon Lord come to the gate of the city alone in the middle of the night!"

After he finished speaking, he raised the trident in his hand and was about to throw it in the direction of Xiao Lianbi. Xiao Lianbi barely dodged sideways, and the trident was inserted into the wall, with such force that the originally flat wall appeared A crack like a spider web.

The movement of the fight attracted other demon soldiers not far away, and they all rushed over with weapons, blocking Xiao Lianbi's way back to the city.

The demons trapped by spiritual arrows looked at Xiao Lianbi who was forced into the corner of the city gate, and laughed, "I see where you can go! I finally caught you after guarding the city gate for so many days." There's a spy."

He turned his eyes to the demon soldiers who were rushing over, and said loudly: "Whoever catches this spy first today will be rewarded! He will be rewarded in front of the demon lord!"

Xiao Lianbi almost gritted his teeth and glared at the demon, because of what the demon said just now, he obviously felt that the emotions of these demon soldiers had become high, and the pace of approaching him became much faster .

The way back to the city was completely occupied by the demon soldiers on the street, so Xiao Lianbi could only retreat to his original position, with his back to the front of the formation.The demon race blocked by him is using his own spiritual power to dissolve the spiritual power arrows on the ground.How could Xiao Lianbi let him run out so easily, and immediately waved his sleeves and added many spiritual arrows beside the opponent.

He lightly wiped the sweat from his forehead. If he doesn't want to find a way to get out now, and is just captured by these demon soldiers and taken back to meet Tan Hanzhou, he will definitely be under strict supervision by Tan Hanzhou, and he will never let him get out again. The possibility of Meicheng intervening in the affairs with Dianzangshan.So now he has to go out of town no matter what, and if he misses this opportunity, he really can't do anything.

Thinking of this, Xiao Lianbi quickly erected a barrier around himself to prevent anyone from attacking him from behind.And he himself turned his back to run his spiritual power again, and began to try to break the enchantment.

Song titles, musical instruments, people's names, events... He tried everything he could think of that might be related to Tan Hanzhou, and the magic soldiers behind him had already started to come in groups outside the barrier he erected, and began to break through his barrier. Enchantment.

The person trapped in the spiritual arrow was also rescued, only to hear him shout loudly: "Listen up, people inside! As long as you put down your weapon and surrender, we promise that we will never move a single hair of your hair and put you Bring them neatly to the Demon Lord!"

He was silent for a while after speaking, as if he was waiting for Xiao Lianbi's answer, but Xiao Lianbi still turned his back to them and did not even change his movements.The demons were in a hurry, "I will not eat the toast and eat the fine wine! Give me all I can to break through his barrier!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Lianbi heard the sound of breaking the barrier behind him.He pursed his lips tightly and said nothing, the thoughts in his head were disrupted by the sound of the broken barrier, and he couldn't remember what stage he had just reached.

Xiao Lianbi gasped for breath, wanting to tear down the barrier and let these demon soldiers rush in. However, he still felt a little bit unwilling. He claimed to know Tan Hanzhou fairly well, but now he couldn't even understand the barrier set up by the other party. I didn't understand what it meant.

He resignedly took off the mask on his face and held it in his hands, looking at the motionless eyes, resignedly letting the chaotic thoughts in his mind grow wildly.

Suddenly, there was a slight fluctuation in the calm formation, and the words "Qin Xiao He Ming" disappeared in front of his eyes, and then a white light suddenly appeared, and after it dissipated, he saw that suddenly appeared in the dark enchantment. A gap that one person can walk through.

Xiao Lianbi was only stunned for a moment, then quickly raised his foot and passed through the barrier, and was about to go to the dense forest outside the city without looking back, when he suddenly stopped.

He looked at the demon soldiers behind the crumbling barrier who were so surprised that their jaws would drop, and said, "Please tell your demon lord for me that I will come back as soon as possible, so don't worry about it."

After saying this, he used the thousand-line technique to leap into the air, lit the flame in his hand, and went to the depths of the dense forest outside the city.

When Xiao Lianbi came to the sky above the dense forest, he originally thought that he would have a panoramic view of the entire forest, but at this moment, except for a small ball of flame in his hand that was a little brighter, the vision below was dark and penetrating.

Now it's past the Hai hour agreed with Jiang Zixun, and I don't know if the other party has left or not.Holding the flame in his palm, Xiao Lianbi held back the distracting thoughts in his heart and was about to go deep into the forest when he felt two red shaking stars not far below.

Without even thinking about it, Xiao Lianbi flied towards the star point, and a black figure was gradually becoming clear, only to hear that figure shouted at him, "Senior Brother Xiao, I am here!" It was Jiang Zi Xun's voice.

After Xiao Lianbi landed on the ground, he saw Jiang Zixun holding two torches and looking at him with a sad expression on his face, "...Senior Brother Xiao, long time no see."

Xiao Lianbi was extremely uncomfortable being looked at by Jiang Zixun's eyes, and after thinking for a while, he suddenly remembered that the other party, like Lu Yuanzhen, had watched him being buried in the cave of the Bone Tomb with no bones left.Now that he "deceived the corpse" and came back to life, no wonder the other party looked at him like this.

Xiao Lianbi was silent for a while, extinguished the flame in his hand, took a torch in Jiang Zixun's hand, and muttered: "Junior Brother Jiang, don't come here without any harm."

Jiang Zixun's lips became even tighter when he heard this, and the emotion in his eyes trembled violently a few times.

Xiao Lianbi was afraid that the other party would really cry in front of him, so he patted Jiang Zixun's shoulder comfortingly, "I have come back intact now, and you don't want to bring up the old things again to make yourself sad for nothing. gone."

Jiang Zixun nodded, "Senior Brother Xiao taught you the lesson." But there was still a trace of choked sobs hidden in his tone.

Xiao Lianbi nodded and said: "The most important thing right now is the matter between the Demon Race and Dianzang Mountain, can Junior Brother Jiang talk to me conveniently?"

Jiang Zixun took a deep breath, suppressed the turmoil in his heart, and said to Xiao Lianbi: "To be honest, Zixun told the head of the matter immediately after receiving Brother Xiao's letter. The content in the book was also written after the master's instruction, and it was not Zixun's original intention to invite senior brother Xiao to meet outside the city. It was our master who wanted to meet senior brother Xiao in person."

When he said this, there was an apologetic expression on his face, "Time is running out, and I couldn't inform Senior Brother Xiao about this in advance, please forgive me."

"It doesn't matter." Xiao Lianbi said indifferently, "I also have that intention."

Negotiating with the head of Dianzang Mountain is the ultimate goal of his trip. Since the other party also wants to meet him, then he can't wait for it.

So Jiang Zixun took him for hundreds of miles, and after entering a deep mountain, he came to a naturally formed cave.It was already late at night, but the sound of people arguing in front of the creek not far outside the cave could still be heard.

The distance between the karst cave and the stream is only a few tens of feet, and there are burning torches on both sides along the way, clearly illuminating the surrounding scene.

Xiao Lianbi looked back and saw five or six disciples from Dianzang Mountain standing on the left and right banks of the stream. Because the distance between them was too far to hear what they were arguing with, he could only vaguely see the movements of the disciples on the two banks. They are all a little big, and it seems that they will rush to the other side in the next moment.

"This is a dispute between the disciples of our peace sect and the main combat faction." Jiang Zixun rubbed his nose, a little embarrassed, "the opposite cave lives in the disciples of the main combat faction, and they often argue along the way. I'm used to it."

Xiao Lianbi nodded and retracted his gaze. The two sides have different positions, and there will be friction at every turn, so he can understand each other, but this is the middle of the night when it is a good time to sleep soundly. These disciples can still have the energy to pinch each other, which makes him Some admire.

The torches were also scattered on the walls of the cave, so the vision was not obstructed, and Xiao Lianbi followed Jiang Zixun for a while before reaching the end.

Jiang Zixun stopped in front of him, cupped his hands and said forward, "Master, Zixun has brought Senior Brother Xiao from Shang Xuanzong."

Xiao Lianbi came to his senses and stood up from behind Jiang Zixun.He didn't see what the person in front of him looked like, so he bowed respectfully, "Xiao Lianbi, junior, I have met the master."

"Cough cough cough..." Suddenly, there was a rapid coughing sound from above.

Xiao Lianbi raised his eyes slightly, and saw a white-haired, skinny old man sitting on a rock, coughing violently.

"Master, are you alright?" Jiang Zixun straightened up and walked quickly to the old man, knelt down and took out a pill from his sleeve and fed it to the old man, the old man coughed Slowly stopped.

"You...you are the Xiao Lianbi who gave up his life in the secret realm of Kuisu a hundred years ago to take the elixir from Chi Wuxie's hands to save my sect's disciples?" The old man was trembling with Jiang Zixun's support. stood up.

The flames from both sides of the cave wall hit him, and Xiao Lianbi could see clearly the eyeballs in the sunken eyes of the other party, which were cloudy as if they were blind.

Xiao Lianbi paused, nodded and said, "It's the younger generation."

The old man laughed suddenly when he heard the words. The laughter was intermittent, sometimes long and sometimes short, and it sounded a little weird in this cave.

"I heard from Zixun that you want to meddle in the affairs of the demon clan and our sect. Why?" The old man suddenly stopped laughing, and his eyes flashed with probing eyes as he imagined Xiao Lianbi, "You are the personal heir of Elder Wu Youzi." Disciple, do you still have any collusion with the demons?"

Xiao Lianbi was questioned.Even though today's Tan Hanzhou is almost showing off his mask to others, few people know that the other party used to be a direct disciple of Xuanzong Neiwuyouzi in the upright sect of cultivating immortals. He had always thought of easing the relationship between the demons and Dianzangshan. , but he has forgotten what kind of identity he should use to convince the people in Dianzangshan for the demons.

For the peace of the world of cultivating immortals?Stop fighting without hurting the innocent?

He himself didn't believe this kind of reasoning. Although the head in front of him looked like a candle in the wind, he pinched his vitals as soon as he opened his mouth. Xiao Lianbi didn't have the confidence to deceive the other party with such a clumsy lie. .

But it is even more impossible for him to reveal Tan Hanzhou's identity in person, not to mention whether the head of the sect will believe that the current demon king of the demon clan is his junior, and because of Tan Hanzhou's infatuation alone, the people who point to Cangshan Then under the guise of "eradicating aliens for the world of cultivating immortals", the war will be more logically directed to the city of insomnia, and at the same time, it may implicate Shang Xuanzong.So now he has to make up a reason even if he makes it up, and he can't tell the truth.

"Senior brother Xiao, what's the secret?" Jiang Zixun asked in a timely manner. Although he was a little surprised that the other party would suddenly write to him to find out about what happened to Dianzang Mountain and the demons, he was very concerned about Xiao Lianbi's situation. There is no doubt about his character, so he immediately chose to trust the other party after seeing the contents of the letter.

Xiao Lianbi shook his head, "It's not something hard to hide, it's just that it's a bit hard to say this in front of the head."

"Hahaha..." The old man suddenly laughed again, "Then tell me, let the old man see if the hidden truth in the words is really as hard to tell as you said."

Xiao Lianbi's heart was broken, and he gritted his teeth and said: "To be honest, I think you have heard about the fact that the younger generation died in the secret place of Kuisu a hundred years ago. The fact that the younger generation can still stand here tonight is not because of What an adventure, but was rescued by a 'girl'."

"That 'girl' took good care of me for decades, and I saw it every day. Over time, we developed a relationship with her. We loved each other, so we finally made a private appointment with her for life, and worshiped heaven and earth."

Hearing this, the sect leader put on an expression of interest to listen, but Jiang Zixun, who was already speechless in shock, stared at Xiao Lianbi without blinking.

Xiao Lianbi didn't hear a response, so she paused for a while and then buried her head and continued to write, "I and 'her' have children, and the reason why I haven't returned to Shangxuanzong for nearly a hundred years is because I have been staying insomnia. In the city."

"My wife is a demon, and my child is half of the demon blood. I heard some news from the city that Zangshan will go to war with the demons. If the two sides really go to war, the people in the city will suffer. People. Although I am not a demon, my wife and children are demons, and I have the responsibility to protect them and their homeland, so I have the courage to come here and invite everyone who wants to stop Dianzang Mountain."

Jiang Zixun's Adam's apple moved up and down, and he murmured: "No wonder Brother Xiao, you didn't die but didn't think about going back to the sect. It turns out that it's because you got married outside..."

Xiao Lianbi nodded solemnly, "I'm sorry for worrying you all these years."

Jiang Zixun waved his hand, supported the master and changed his posture. The expression on his face changed from shock to weirdness, as if he was digesting the content of Xiao Lianbi's words.

Xiao Lianbi was calm and calm on the surface, but in fact she was already panicking inside.He didn't know how much he could convince the old man in front of him of a nonsense story he made up at the moment. If the other party didn't believe a word, then he was really at the end of his rope.

The headmaster stared at him for a long time with cloudy eyes, then suddenly raised his hand to stroke his gray beard, and said inexplicably, "It's actually a story in the field of love and moon, which I didn't expect."

Xiao Lianbi clenched his fists and didn't speak. He couldn't tell whether the headmaster's words meant belief or disbelief, so he didn't dare to answer the words blindly.

The leader suddenly put his fist in front of his mouth and coughed a few more times, then changed the subject and said, "Have you thought of a plan, how to persuade those people from the main combat faction."

When Xiao Lianbi heard the words, the big stone in his heart fell to the ground in an instant, and he stepped forward and said respectfully: "Before thinking of a plan, this junior dares to ask the head, why the elder Fuhong of the main battle faction insists on going to war with the demons? "

A few clusters of light suddenly flashed in the head's eyes, but they disappeared quickly, returning to the previous cloudy and dull state.He asked Jiang Zixun to help him to his original position and sit down, then waved his hand to signal Jiang Zixun to tell Xiao Lianbi the reason.

Jiang Zixun nodded, stood up and said slowly to Xiao Lianbi: "Actually, the reason why Elder Fuhong insisted on going to war with the demons, Brother Xiao, you are not ignorant of this matter."

Xiao Lianbi's eyes moved slightly, and he didn't speak, waiting for Jiang Zixun to continue to explain his doubts.

Jiang Zixun said: "Senior brother Xiao still remembers the corpse of a man in Tsing Yi that we saw next to Chi Wuxie when we were in the Bone Tomb."

"Remember, I still remember that person's name is Shi Yu." Xiao Lianbi paused, "It's your senior brother."

"That's right." Jiang Zixun grasped the hilt of the sword at his waist, and said in a deep voice, "I am the apprentice of Elder Fuhong, and Shi Yu is a senior brother from the same line as me."

"Many years ago, the relationship between the demon clan and the world of cultivating immortals was not as peaceful as it is now. Wars often occurred. Brother Shiyu, a disciple of Dianzang Mountain, and disciples of other sects, forged their identities to sneak into Sleepless City. Recorded every move of the demons and reported it to the sect. Brother Shiyu has a firm character. After a dozen disciples from other sects who became spies were discovered and executed one after another, he successfully kept his identity, and... ...and successfully gained the trust of the Demon Lord at that time, Chi Wuxie."

When Jiang Zixun said this, Xiao Lianbi already understood most of it.The way Shiyu gained Chi Wuxie's trust is not mentioned for the time being, but the scene where Chi Wuxie was drowned in the lotus pond by Chi Wuxie is still fresh in his memory.

"So now Elder Fuhong insists on declaring war with the demons, in order to avenge Senior Brother Yu? But Chi Wuxie who killed Senior Brother Yu has been dead for nearly a hundred years, and the current Demon Lord is no longer Chi Wuxie." Xiao Lianbi raised his own question.

The head of the sect who had been silent for a long time suddenly opened his mouth, panting and said: "Shi Yu was raised by Fu Hong himself, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the relationship between the two of them is father and son. Back then, Shi Yu was only young enough to be crowned, so he was picked up by the old man. To be a spy of Sleepless City, Fuhong resented me very much for this. Later, when the news of Shiyu's death came, his resentment towards the old man became deeply rooted. At the same time, his personality changed drastically. The extreme and hatred that ordinary people cannot understand."

"This time, the disciples of Dianzang Mountain had entanglements with the demons in the area of ​​the demons. Many disciples in our sect were killed and injured. Everyone in the sect recalled the matter of Shi Yu back then. At that time, many of the disciples were killed by Chi Wuxie It's a pity that the disciples and elders all joined the main battle faction under the instigation of Fuhong, but Zixun stood up and chose to trust the old man."

Jiang Zixun lowered his eyes when he heard the words, "Zixun's ability is limited, he can't help the head even a little bit, he is ashamed of the sect."

The sect leader waved his hand, and said weakly, "You are a good boy, just like your brother Shiyu...you are both good boys." After he finished speaking, he coughed violently.

Seeing this, Jiang Zixun immediately took out another pill for the other party to take.Standing in front, Xiao Lianbi sighed inwardly, listening to the battle of the master of Dianzang Mountain wishing to cough up all his viscera.

The old man took the medicine twice within half an hour of meeting him, and it seemed that the time limit was approaching.

Jiang Zixun helped Shun the old man's back, trying to make him more comfortable, "Sect Leader, it's getting late now, you should rest early. If there's anything else, I'll bring Senior Brother Xiao to see you tomorrow."

Xiao Lianbi also had this intention, "The junior will come to bother you tomorrow, please rest early and take care of yourself." He had just heard a long passage from these two people and needed to go back and digest it.

The headmaster has closed his eyes at this moment, and waved at them, "Go, go..."

Xiao Lianbi and Jiang Zixun walked out of the cave side by side without saying a word. He was thinking about countermeasures, while Jiang Zixun was in a low mood because of being reminded of the past.

The two of them walked together to sit under a big tree.It was already late at night, when the fire was burning fiercely, the mottled tree shadows danced with the flames, hitting the two of them, and there was a long and long silence.

The scolding between the disciples on both sides of the stream was still going on, Xiao Lianbi withdrew his gaze in a lack of interest, and was thinking about whether to comfort Jiang Zixun for a word or two, when Jiang Zixun took out a bronze mirror from his sleeve. The fluctuating lines were flashing, and Xiao Lianbi suddenly remembered that this was Jiang Zixun's unique mirror for communication.

Jiang Zixun held the mirror and gave him a strange look, "Senior Brother Xiao, do you still have the mirror I gave you?"

"No." Xiao Lianbi replied truthfully, since he woke up, the mi mirror and the bag of spiritual things disappeared, and he didn't know where it fell.

When Jiang Zixun heard this, his expression became even weirder.I saw him wipe the mirror with his hand, and the turbulent mirror immediately stabilized, and then, an unusually handsome and familiar face gradually emerged.

"Jiang Zixun." The handsome man in the mirror had dark and frightening eyes at the moment, as if he was on the verge of rage, and he suppressed his voice and said, "Is my senior brother with you..."
