Fire and theft prevention

When Mu Qingjia came near Lou Qing, Moxiu was still standing motionless, as if the throw just now had exhausted all his strength.

In the wooden ring, the horrified curses of the remnant soul continued to come.

"Du Yuan is inside the wooden ring." Huo Wei put his sword finger on Lou Qing's neck, "Leave it to me."

Mu Qingjia stood firmly by his side.Du Yuan brought too many catastrophes to their sect and even the entire Kyushu. Only by getting rid of his remnant soul can the hatred in the heart of the living be relieved, and the spirit of the dead in heaven can be comforted.

"I won't let him die." Lou Qing never looked at the tip of the sword, but looked straight at Huo Wei.

"Aren't you the one who ruined him?" Huo Wei sneered, "Whether it's for fame, wealth or power. Isn't it you who ruined his body and made him never recover?"

However, Lou Qing had no mood swings, no guilt or wavering as he imagined.Huo Wei accepted the sarcastic smile, and his face darkened.

"No matter what your reason is, give him to me now." He said, "This is an order, not a discussion. If you hadn't blocked the punishment for Qing Jia, you would have been killed by now."

"I won't let you kill him." Lou Qing insisted.

His idea was simple: Du Yuan ruined his life as a mortal, but he didn't kill him after all.Then he would redo everything that Du Yuan had done to him - destroy Du Yuan's vision of becoming a demon to dominate, and only spared his life.

Before the remnant soul dies, it will use its broken intelligence and perception to realize what it means to struggle but not get what it wants, what it means to lose freedom and be controlled by others, what it means to be a knife and a fish.

Simple but brutal thought.

Huo Wei didn't understand the key point. Seeing that he was determined not to let go, he said in a deep voice, "In that case, you can die with him."

Before he finished speaking, a golden flame ignited on the Nether Butterfly Sword and swung it down towards Lou Qing's neck.

Lou Qing turned sideways to avoid the sword edge on his neck, but his movements were too slow.Taking advantage of his instinct to avoid the edge of the Underworld Butterfly Sword, and when his whole body was exposed, Huo Wei's sword sharply turned and slashed at his arm wearing the wooden ring.

"Wait a minute." A female voice suddenly sounded.

Zi Yan appeared out of thin air, knocking away the Nether Butterfly Sword slightly, but did not show any intention of attacking.The black sand floated in the purple flames, stopping at a safe distance.

Mu Qingjia thought of the mysterious Mingxiu, and said, "Awei, wait, that might be..."

"Xue Ziyi." Huo Wei said suddenly.

"You know?" Not only Mu Qingjia was taken aback, but even the grain of black sand seemed to be stunned, it stopped spinning and floating, and stood still.

It took a long time before she said softly: "Xue Ziyi, I have seen the Butterfly Sword."

"Little Martial Nephew, it's really you." Mu Qingjia said happily, "It's my fault that I didn't recognize you before."

In Gaotu Mountain that year, Xue Ziyi's "death" has always been a regret that he can't let go of.Seeing her in real life now, no matter how much pain there is during this period, as long as she is still alive, there is still hope.

Huo Wei identified Mu Qingjia's identity from Mu Qingjia's expression, and there was a glint in his eyes.Then there was a look of helplessness on his face, and then he covered it with a cold protective color.

"You have cultivated a demon." He said without emotion.

"Yes. Ziyi cultivated demons, drank blood like hair, and devoured the spiritual energy of countless monks. They all died under my hands." Xue Ziyi said softly, "So Ziyi...is no longer your disciple."

Huo Wei observed Mu Qingjia's expression, and his expression turned colder: "She admitted it."

"Purple clothes!" Mu Qingjia looked at Heisha and then at Huo Wei, feeling a little anxious.He never expected that the master and apprentice would be in such a mood after meeting.

"Awei, thanks to her in the black sand, I was able to figure out many things and come out to see you alive." He said seriously, "Although she is a demon cultivator, she is definitely on our side."

"You worry too much, Ziyi will only do anything for himself." Xue Ziyi said indifferently, "In order to repay my karma, I will repay my kindness to you and Duyuan."

"Repay my kindness to me?" Mu Qingjia apologized, "I obviously didn't do anything, and let Venerable Haoyan take you away. I didn't even think about the possibility of your survival. It's here because of..."

He couldn't help pinching the corner of his sleeve tightly, Huo Wei paused slightly, reached out and held his hand.Mu Qingjia exchanged a glance with him, and then looked at Heisha.

"Your decision saved my life long before Moxiu invaded Gaotu Mountain." Xue Ziyi said, "I can only count the turning point of fate, but I can't know what exactly happened."

While they were talking, the remnants in the wooden ring kept shouting.As soon as Xue Ziyi stopped in displeasure, Lou Qing erased the sounding runes on the wooden ring without hesitation.

The remnant soul was completely dumb.

Xue Ziyi coughed lightly, and continued: "50 years ago, I should not have died. But there was an existence beyond me, trying to reverse my fate. Immortals and demons change the fate of monks, just like monks change the fate of mortals Equally easy."

She sighed softly, "It shows on the tortoise shell that it is you who chose to return my fate, so that I can live until now."

Mu Qingjia was baffled at the beginning, but as she narrated, she gradually understood.

The so-called "existence beyond monks" refers to the fox fairy.

He returned to Qingqiu Mountain before the Tribulation of the Immortal Demon, and the fox fairy wanted to keep him in Qingqiu after predicting that he was in danger.

But Mu Qingjia finally decided to leave.

It was precisely this decision of his that protected the other beginner disciples, and perhaps also somehow saved the young Xue Ziyi.

Perhaps, in the fate reversed by the fox fairy, if he did not restart the mountain protection circle in time on Mount Gaotu, the entire mountain would be devastated.

"Later, this junior figured out that my fate and yours will intersect again in the future—at this moment." Xue Ziyi said, "That's why I have been waiting for you here, wanting to return the grace of saving my life."

In fact, their victories today are linked together, and if any one link is missing, nothing will be good.

Xue Ziyi's position is an extremely important part.She ignored the threat of the Heart-Eating Curse and let Mu Qingjia go.

On the other hand, if she obeys Du Yuan and uses Mu Qingjia as a threat to force Huo Wei to submit, then there will be more or less luck for them tonight.

What Mu Qingjia didn't know was that if Xue Ziyi hadn't revealed Lou Qing's dusty memory and caused the master and apprentice to turn against each other, he might have died under the punishment of heaven.

Mingxiu who can spy on the way of heaven is really a terrifying existence.

When mentioning Mingxiu, Mu Qingjia suddenly thought of Xue Ziyi's prophecy: "You said earlier that 'someone will die here tonight', who were you referring to?"

"This...a fish that slipped through the net." A pair of animal bones spit out from the black sand, it was the weasel monster.

Mu Qingjia breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'm sorry, I scared the uncle." Xue Ziyi in the black sand smiled.

In fact, when she predicted that someone around her would die tonight, she thought she would die from the Heart-Eating Curse.

Unexpectedly, the yellow weasel demon who went to the palace with her was also regarded as her "people around".And the half antidote pill he carried on his body temporarily restrained the Heart-eating Curse on Lou Qing's body, so that he could force the remnant souls and release the curse on them.

She explained the cause and effect, Mu Qingjia was a little scared and said: "Sect Master Bu's power has actually infiltrated Venerable Haoyan's side. Fortunately, the demon cultivator died, so the news of me and Ah Wei in the Demon World did not get out."

He thought in his heart, the Heart-Eating Curse is so overbearing that no one can solve it.Not only is Bu Chengbi superb in cultivation, but he is also so skilled in healing poisons that he can even make the antidote pill for the Heart-Eating Curse.

"Bu Chengbi's mother family is a powerful medical practitioner." Huo Weidao, "The Bu family lineage started with him, and they are all talented in the medical field."

"It's hard for you to say good things for him. It seems that Sect Master Bu is indeed very skilled in medicine." Mu Qingjia laughed, "The other day he said that he would treat my eye disease for me. I thought it was a nonsense excuse."

"He's approaching you?" Huo Wei and Xue Ziyi asked vigilantly at the same time.

"I refused." Mu Qingjia first smiled at Huo Wei, and then asked Heisha, "Is there anything wrong?"

Only Xue Ziyi said very slowly and seriously: "The Venerable Songhe - Bu Chengbi, is the chief culprit who caused the master to be notorious for stealing. He and Du Yuan teamed up to direct and act in front of everyone. Xuanzong took back the drama of the soul tree."

"...What?" Upon hearing this, Mu Qingjia's mind went blank.

Huo Wei asked suspiciously, "What did she say?"

Mu Qingjia tidied up his chaotic thoughts, calmed down, and said: "Nephew said, the matter of Xuanzong's return to the soul tree was caused by the Lord Bu who harmed you." He turned his head and asked Heisha again: "Can you tell me more about it? What's the matter?"

For him, and even for the entire world of cultivating immortals, Bu Chengbi is like the light and the moon, his heart is always clear and unbreakable by foreign objects, and his speech, behavior and appearance are emulated by countless young talents.

Even though Bu Chengbi went to Mount Gaotu to force his citizenship, Mu Qingjia never doubted his loyalty to the immortal way and the world of cultivating immortals.

So when Xue Ziyi said this, he even had doubts about her words.

"As early as... when Senior Huo Wei was ranked second on the mystery list and showed his sharpness, Bu Chengbi might have been afraid and murderous." Xue Ziyi said, "At that time, Du Yuan's body|body was destroyed. Under the Underworld Butterfly Sword, he grasped Bu Chengbi's mind, and wanted to get Xuanzong's soul-returning wood, so he took the opportunity to order Lou Qing to contact Bu Chengbi."

"The best way to destroy a generation of young talents is to make him commit a crime—or let the world think he committed a crime."

"How did he frame Ah Wei?" Just as Mu Qingjia asked, he caught a glimpse of Lou Qing from the corner of his eye.

Yes.If you want to imitate Huo Wei, you only need a monk who is proficient in spirit possession.

——And Lou Qing happened to have seen Huo Wei with his own eyes during the battle in Xueyuan!With his ability, it is not impossible to carve Huo Wei's wooden sculpture and then attach a spirit to it.

"It's you." Mu Qingjia's eyes widened.

Lou Qing looked directly at him calmly, acquiescing to this fact.

Seeing Mu Qingjia's angry and remorseful expression, Huo Wei probably also understood that the matter of framing himself for stealing the treasure of Xuanzong Zhenshan was related to the demon cultivator in front of him.

I still remember that 30 years ago, he brought Mu Qingjia, who hadn't woken up, into the Demon Realm alone, and escaped death.After the battle with Du Yuan, he was seriously injured, lost consciousness, and returned to Huo's house to rest for several months.

When he woke up, a large number of monks broke into the ruins of Huo's family, denounced Huo Wei, the traitor of the immortal way, and threatened him to hand over the Soul Returning Wood.

With his injuries still serious, Huo Wei had to leave Huo's house and became homeless.Only when the soul-returning wood gives a slight reaction occasionally, can his frozen and numb heart leak a little warmth.

"It's you—!" He yelled furiously, strode forward, and lifted Lou Qing's skirt, "Do you know what you have done?"

He paused, and laughed at himself, "Oh, I actually reasoned with a demon cultivator. A demon cultivator who has no heart will not feel guilty even if he disregards human life!"

Lou Qing showed no sign of resistance, her bloodless lips moved slightly: "I'm sorry."

Huo Wei was slightly taken aback, gritted his teeth and said, "What qualifications do you have to say that?"

Even though he said that, his aura was not as intimidating as before.

"Brother also obeys orders." Xue Ziyi's voice was very weak.

Suddenly a hand touched Huo Wei's back, he looked back, but saw Mu Qingjia's face was pale.

"I'm sorry." In order for Huo Wei to see clearly, the corners of Mu Qingjia's lips moved slowly, "It was I who didn't kill the grass at the time, that's why I brought you here. If you want to pursue it, I'm the one who brought you here."

Lou Qing lowered her eyes incredulously.
