The devil is below, I am the master

After the lame Taoist approached Lianhua and said something in his ear, Lianhua suddenly turned his gaze to Wen Ran.

Realizing the murderous intent thrown by the opponent, Nan Xiao reacted almost immediately.

However, Lianhua arrived in a flash, and suddenly half of the Buddhist beads were collected and hit the defensive circle built by Uzuki.

The sleeves fluttered.

Wen Ran has already fallen into Lianhua's hands.

All this happened so suddenly that Bai Zhe, who was holding Dyeyi hostage on the other side, couldn't catch up, so he could only summon his own Hanshang Sword and shoot at him.

The long sword galloped away, making a sharp roar, and rushed straight behind Lianhua.

In the nick of time, the dyed clothes that finally grasped the gap turned into vines spreading around and rushed over——

He blocked the galloping Han Shang with his body.

The main body of the dyed clothes is a peony flower, and those vines are her strengthened main body, and now they are combined into one. After withstanding Han Shang's sword, it will be difficult to resurrect easily.

The flames of the Divine Fire Temple came from all directions in an instant, and it was their instinct to look for evil spirits and fragile and flammable things——

The flames quickly spread over the body of the dyed clothes, and the burning became more and more intense.

Dying, who reverted back to human form, became extremely painful and distorted.

However, looking up, Lianhua had already taken Wen Ran and retreated to the back mountain at this time.

Without the slightest nostalgia.

...She couldn't even wait for a look back from the Lord.

After waiting for thousands of years, after all, he failed to catch up with the Lord's footsteps in the end.

The lord has been pursuing Mu Yunyan all his life, until Mu Yunyan died but failed to fulfill his wish.

And why isn't she doing the same thing?

There are all kinds of difficulties in this world.

But the world still wants to pester them endlessly until death.

Until death...not resting.

At this moment, she remembered a lot of the past.

I still remember that when it rained suddenly in the south of the Yangtze River that year, vendors on the street put away their stalls and ran to nearby stores to avoid the rain.

As a newcomer, she found everything fresh and interesting, but it was a pity that just after she saw a hairpin, the peddler shouted to hide from the rain.

She stopped the other party unhappily, saying that she hadn't seen enough yet.

However, the peddler joked and said, "Girl, I think you are beautiful and have good eyesight. You can immediately fall in love with the good products on my stall, but you have seen enough and touched enough, right? If you touch enough, you have to pay for it." ,Do you have money?"

Ranyi was stunned by these words.

She touched her somewhat tattered dress and lowered her head.

money……

She is a little monster who is fledgling and is coming to the human world for the first time, so how can she have any money.

After being ridiculed by the peddler Haosheng, the peddler didn't bother to pay attention to her. He was dressed like a shabby settler. At first glance, he was not a customer who could afford to pay, so he hurriedly cleaned up the stall to avoid the rain.

The little flower demon blushed and stood aside in embarrassment, neither walking nor stopping.

However, just after rolling up the pavement, the peddler suddenly heard a gentle voice beside him.

"Is this money enough for her to buy a hairpin?"

The peddler raised his eyes to look at the owner of the voice, and then looked at the fine copper plate that the other party offered, and replied with disgust, "You are also a poor settler, so don't think about trying to be brave and help her."

This hairpin is the best item on his stall, how can it be sold at a low price.

The scholar in front of him could only smile awkwardly, and finally watched the peddler run away quickly.

"Sorry, I'm also a poor settler, so I can't help you." The scholar said following the peddler's words just now.

The little flower demon stared at this same down-and-out poor scholar, obviously wanting to be a good person, but she was so embarrassed that she was embarrassed, it was a bit clumsy and ridiculous.

He giggled for a long time.

The scholar bowed helplessly and turned around to leave.

However, after that, no matter how far he walked, he could always feel someone following him behind him.

Sometimes it is a lonely plum blooming in the corner of the wall in the early morning, and sometimes it is a wild flower accidentally glimpsed by the roadside.

There is always a little flower demon who follows me everywhere.

……

Think back to the present.

Ranyi, who was burned by the flames, felt that the power in his body was being pulled away little by little.

Breathing also became increasingly difficult.

Like dead leaves and branches that have been sucked out of their vitality.

Watching myself wither little by little.

But the illusory figure in front of him walked faster and faster.

my lord.

You are walking too fast.

May I... turn around and look at the bright red flower following behind?

After a silence, there was no reply.

Ranyi's eyes slowly closed.

That touch of red was finally completely swallowed by the flames.

……

The small courtyard behind the Ecstasy Grotto.

This is connected to the back mountain area, and the environment is more peaceful than the front.

It's just that the green trees are so lush now that no one has time to appreciate them.

Lianhua retreated here with Wen Ran.

Seeing that Wen Ran's poison was getting worse, he put Wen Ran down beside the stone table, turned around and went elsewhere.

Wen Ran was half in a coma, half awake. He only knew that he seemed to be taken away by Lianhua, and he couldn't tell where he was taken. He only felt that his facial features were tense, which made him ache, as if he was about to be tortured. It's average.

After a while, Lianhua came back in plain Buddhist attire.

It's just that the Buddhist beads in his hand have been thrown away, and he only holds a bowl of red soup in his hand.

Lianhua helped Wen Ran who was half lying on the stone table up, and carefully looked at the other's face.

The toxin had begun to spread across his face.

"Wen Ran." Lianhua called him softly, "Drink the medicine."

"...medicine?" Wen Ran only listened to the general idea, then raised her eyes blankly.

Lianhua poured all the decoction in her hand into Wen Ran's mouth.

A little red soup spilled out from the corner of his mouth, Lianhua wiped it away gently with his fingers.

Staring at Wen Ran's tightly closed eyes at this moment, Lianhua finally made a final decision in her heart.

But in a trance, Wen Ran in front of him overlapped with Mu Yunyan in his memory.

How similar are these eyebrows.

He has been chasing and painting for so many years.

Even if one day he really becomes "faceless", even with his eyes closed, he is enough to outline her whole picture.

Nothing is missed.

Under the green lamp and ink, it turns thousands of times.

What changes is the impermanent world, what remains unchanged——

It is the footsteps that he has been chasing for most of his life that he can't stop, and it is the love that he will never be able to explain.

She is a fairy in the fairy palace, beautiful and refined, but he is just a vulgar person among all living beings in the world, mediocre and impermanent.

She walked too fast, he chased too late and too slow.

But this time...

I finally caught up with you.

……

When Bai Zhe and others rushed to find Wen Ran in the back mountain courtyard, there was only Wen Ran left in front of the silent stone table.

Wen Ran's body was covered in blood.

"Wen Ran!" Immortal Koi and the others almost thought that something had happened to Wen Ran, and rushed over quickly.

Only Bai Zhe was the last one to walk slowly to Wen Ran's side.

"He..." Mo En felt Wen Ran's pulse, and he was still alive.

"But where did Lianhua go?" The Koi Daxian confirmed that Wen Ran was still alive, and temporarily let go of his concern, but still looked around strangely, "Where are the others?"

Moen's eyes collided with him, but he just shook his head.

Bai Zhe, who has been silent all this time, knelt down on one knee, hugged Wen Ran firmly, and said to the others: "Go back, he's gone."

Although everyone was full of suspicion, the matter of Wen Ran's poisoning had not been completely resolved. Since Lianhua was gone and the witch snake on the other side had been captured by Nan Xiao, it was better to rush back to the inner court as soon as possible.

Uzuki, who was walking at the end, looked back at the direction of the stone table, wondering what he thought of.

At this time, there was only a piece of blood left under the stone table.

There is also a medicine bowl with a little bright red left.
