Peach Blossom Valley, the sky is about to fall.

Mu Xiangyi asked the rest of the villagers to go home first, while she followed Qi Xiu and Li Jian to a tree.

Li Jian glanced at the direction in which the villagers were leaving, and couldn't help but sighed. —they save themselves day after day, hoping to save themselves, not knowing that they are already dead.They've been stuck here for 18 years.

Under the tree, after listening to Li Jian and Qi Xiu tell about their experiences along the way, Mu Xiangyi frowned, closed his eyes and sighed. "It turns out... we couldn't escape from here after all."

"What happened here?" Li Jian couldn't help asking.

Mu Xiangyi asked back: "You just said that there is a stone statue of me at the mouth of the valley?"

"Yes. Isn't this built by the villagers?" Li Jian frowned.

Mu Xiangyi shook his head, and said again: "I was born in the Dongli clan in the demon world. The Dongli clan has a spell that can imprison time. But correspondingly, the price the caster has to pay is also huge, that is, they will Turned into a stone statue, and died."

"You...why did you do this?" Qi Xiu, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke.He clenched his fists tightly and looked at Mu Xiangyi with complicated eyes.

"I..." Mu Xiangyi sighed again, his eyes slipped a little sadly, but he was relieved immediately, "Eighteen years ago, before your father Qi Qingqiu became emperor, he made a deal with Yedan from the demon world. Yedan But to help him ascend the throne, he needed to do one thing for Ye Dan. Later, Qi Qingqiu became Emperor Xuande, and in the same year, he began to repay Ye Dan. And the content of this repayment... was the lives of 18 people."

Having said that, Mu Xiangyi closed his eyes, as if he couldn't bear it.After a while, she opened her eyes and continued: "It happened that there was a snow disaster in Taohuaxi Valley. When Qi Qingqiu heard about this, what he wanted was not to save people, but to take this opportunity to let the villagers die. Sacrifice the lives of these 500 people to Yedan."

"What?" Li Jian's eyes widened.Qi Xiu clenched his fists tightly, and the veins on his forehead were exposed.

It turned out that Qi Qingqiu sent officers and soldiers here not to rescue the villagers, but to block their escape route and let them starve to death in the barren valley due to heavy snow!

——As a king, one should love the people and benefit the world.But Qi Qingqiu sacrificed the lives of [-] villagers to the devil for the throne!

"I'm a member of the Demon Realm, and I have my own news channel. After hearing about this, I was also very disappointed with Qi Qingqiu, so I left the palace and came to this Peach Blossom Valley, trying to save the villagers."

Mu Xiangyi said, "Qi Qingqiu actually informed Yedan of this matter, so Yedan also came here to set up a barrier, so that I couldn't take the villagers out. Until today... oh no, maybe I shouldn't say today, In short, just like what you just heard. On that day, I managed to contact my elder brother, cooperated with him, and found a weak spot with the villagers. I thought that the next day would be full moon, and it was night, but the magic power of the barrier was the weakest. At that time, logically at that time... I should be able to take them out. But I don't know why..."

"It seems that I failed in the end, and I failed to take them out." Mu Xiangyi shook his head, "Ye Dan wanted the lives of these 500 people in order to obtain their souls and dedicate them to the leader of their clan. Come to think of it, I used the Dongli secret technique to imprison the time here, in order to trap the souls of the villagers here forever. In this way, Yedan can do nothing with their souls. Their souls will not be eaten by demons. They... Anyway There is also a chance of reincarnation. Unexpectedly, they were trapped for 18 years."

It turned out to be the case.

Li Jian couldn't help but also sighed.Now all this finally has an explanation.

Emperor Xuande made a deal with the devil, and he wanted to kill 500 people in the Peach Blossom Valley, and use the souls of these [-] people to sacrifice to the devil.Mu Xiangyi tried to save them, but failed.At the last moment, Mu Xiangyi sacrificed himself and turned into a stone statue to guard here forever, in order to confine time and trap their souls.

She failed to save their bodies, but somehow saved their souls. ——In this way, the souls of the villagers will not be eaten, and there is still the possibility of reincarnation.

Although, this one has probably been waiting for 18 years.

After saying this, Mu Xiangyi looked at Qi Xiu.Qi Xiu's eyes were full of anger, sadness, and sadness.At this moment, he looked at his mother, these emotions slipped from his eyes one by one, and finally he had to clenched his fists more and more. "Mother, I..."

"You want to kill him?" Mu Xiangyi's voice was quite calm.

"If you don't kill him, it's not enough to comfort the lives of these 18 villagers. What's more, [-] years later, he repeated his old tricks and somehow contacted Zhongli City. He promised to sacrifice [-] soldiers to Zhongli City, just to kill me!" When Qi Xiu said this, he already gritted his teeth.

"There is such a thing..." Mu Xiangyi closed her eyes again, wondering if she didn't want Qi Xiu to see the emotion in her eyes.

"Concubine Mu, do you still love him? If I do this...do you agree?" Qi Xiu frowned and asked Mu Xiangyi.

After hearing this, Li Jian reached out and tugged Qi Xiu's sleeve instead.He sighed in his heart—this child, if he asks his mother such words, isn't it embarrassing for her?

Qi Xiu looked back at Li Jian, opened his mouth, but didn't seem to know what to say, and finally closed his eyes gently.

A bitter smile slipped across Mu Xiangyi's lips.Then her eyes passed Qi Xiu, and looked at Li Jian instead. "Are you Ashura's master?"

"Yes." Li Jian nodded.

"Let's talk for a while, okay?" Mu Xiangyi asked.

"Okay." Li Jian glanced at Qi Xiu again, and followed Mu Xiangyi to the side.Li Jian couldn't help but wonder what Mu Xiangyi wanted to say to him alone.

Mu Xiangyi looked at Li Jian and said first, "For so many years, please take care of him for me."

"It's okay. Qi Xiu is quite obedient." Li Jian smiled. ——Well, except for the oolong incident he confessed to himself six years ago, everything else seems to be pretty good.

"To be honest, I... I have something to ask." Mu Xiangyi's expression turned serious.

"Go ahead and talk." Li Jian said.

"Qi Qingqiu has committed countless crimes. I think over the years...the people of Zhou Kingdom have a lot of opinions on him. His death is not a pity. I will definitely not stop Qi Xiu from killing him." Mu Xiangyi said, "Even if I loved him .But he was wrong, he was wrong. If you do something wrong, you have to pay the price."

Li Jian thought for a while and asked, "Are you worried about Qi Xiu?"

"Yes." Mu Xiangyi said, "No matter what crimes his father has committed, no matter how much Qi Xiu wants to kill his father. But if he really kills his father, I'm afraid of him...it will be his life's fate. Shadow. So..."

"So, you want me to help him kill Qi Qingqiu?" Li Jian asked.

"Yes. Sorry. As a mother, I..." Mu Xiangyi also clenched his fists, "I am selfish."

"It's nothing. I just promise you. If such an emperor appears in the world, we in the world of cultivators should also intervene. Killing him is to do justice for the heavens. It's nothing. You don't need to do this." Li Jian waved his hand, "My only problem is that I can't do it right now. If you lose your cultivation, you have to find it back."

"Your cultivation was lost in the Realm of Emptiness, right?" Mu Xiangyi said, "I'll tell you how to freely enter and exit there. When you return there, you may be able to regain your cultivation. "

"Really? Thank you very much!" Li Jian was happy.Although he lost his cultivation, he didn't think it was a pity.But without cultivation base, many things are not so convenient to do in this fairy world.It is naturally good to get back your cultivation base.

"Thank you very much." Mu Xiangyi smiled, "Ah Xiu was lucky enough to meet you."

If so, Mu Xiangyi told Li Jian the way to the realm of emptiness, and after Li Jian wrote it down, he and Mu Xiangyi returned to Qi Xiu's side.

Li Jian looked at Mu Xiangyi, and asked again: "Speaking of which, how should we get out? How can we save the people here?"

"This night is about to pass. It stands to reason that you will go back to the starting point and walk out of the stone statue. My power is not that great. I can only trap the souls here and let them live forever on the day before they die. This Power does not control the living, so you are not affected."

Mu Xiangyi said, "As for saving people... smashing my stone statue can break this layer of time confinement. At the same time, it's good to avoid them appearing at night to suck souls, and finally find an eminent monk to save the dead souls. All this should be done." solved."

Having said that, Mu Xiangyi called Qi Xiu to stop. "Come on, spread your palms."

When Qi Xiu heard the words, he stretched out his hands and spread them out.Mu Xiangyi drew a spell on the palm of his hand. "With this talisman and your magic breath, you can smash the stone statue."

"What will happen to you after that?" Qi Xiu's voice trembled slightly, "Will I... never see you again?"

"Silly boy. I've died a long time ago. It's a godsend to meet you like this." Mu Xiangyi raised his hand and slightly touched Qi Xiu's cheek.She helped Qi Xiu brush the broken hair from her ears, and then said, "This is God's favor for me. My Ah Xiu has grown into a very good person, thank God, thank you Li Jian. Ah Xiu, goodbye -"

After Mu Xiangyi finished speaking, Li Jian looked up and found that it was almost dawn.

Li Jian suddenly felt extremely sleepy, and seemed to close her eyes inevitably.When he opened his eyes again, he found himself back at the entrance of the thick fog again.

And behind him, there is a stone statue of Mu Xiangyi.

One day, it passed like this again.

After Li Jian sighed slightly, he couldn't help looking at Qi Xiu with some worry. "Ash—"

"I'm fine, Master. I just..." Qi Xiu looked at the stone statue, "I just can't destroy it now."

"No hurry. You still remember your mother said that to make sure that there are no demons here, you need to find an eminent monk." Li Jian said, "It is no small matter to save five hundred people. I remember the five major sects of cultivation, Yunlang I'm a Buddhist practitioner, so it's best to invite them here. It's inconvenient for both of you and me to come forward, so I can only rely on my senior brother for this matter. It's just..."

But, where did Du Rui go?Li Jian couldn't help thinking deeply.

"Why don't we go back to the place where Senior Meng lives. They haven't already gone back, have they?" Qi Xiu suggested.

"Alright. At least go back and see if there are any other clues." Li Jian said, turned around and walked towards Liyang Town.

"Wait, master—" Qi Xiu called him.

Li Jian looked back, looked at him, and smiled slightly. "What's wrong?"

Qi Xiu took a step closer and looked at Li Jian with his eyes closed. "What did my concubine tell you?"

"It's nothing." Li Jian smiled, and suddenly wanted to tease Qi Xiu, and said, "This is a secret, I won't tell you."

"Master, you—" Seemingly unaware of Li Jian's dodge, Qi Xiu took a step closer and looked into his eyes.

Qi Xiu's expression seemed slightly nervous, "Master has started to hide something from me. She...she won't talk about the stupid things I did when I was young..."

"Tsk, I raised you too. Did you do any stupid things that I didn't know about?" Li Jian raised his eyebrows and decided to continue teasing his apprentice.

"Master, you..." Qi Xiu frowned, seeming slightly annoyed.

Li Jian laughed again, patted him on the shoulder, turned and walked forward. "Let's go, disciple, go back to Liyang."

At this moment, looking up at the person in front of him, Qi Xiu's heavy heart gradually became lighter.

Even though Li Jian lost his cultivation, he still looked like he was at his best.With him around, it seems that there is no pain that cannot be overcome.

Qi Xiu couldn't help but read silently—the story of Peach Blossom Valley was too heavy, Emperor Xuande's behavior was too heartless, and the scene of meeting his mother was too tragic...Master, when I went through all this, I was lucky to have you.

After Qi Xiu and Li Jian left, a handsome man reappeared.

He turned around and raised his eyes to look at the stone statue, with a sad expression in his eyes.Under the sunlight, the mole at the corner of his eye made him look as if he was crying.The person who came was Zhong Licheng.

The author has something to say: I personally feel very sad about the story of Peach Blossom Valley.Everyone desperately tried to save themselves, but they didn't know that they were already dead...

So at the end of the chapter, the master and apprentice send sugar to sweeten and buffer.And by the way, Li Jian can be regarded as...meeting the parents. O(∩_∩)O.

Finally...Master, you are molesting your apprentice like this, be careful in the future...
