No matter how much Tang Lin asked, Kong Liu still refused to tell him the specific content of the contract, and only warned him that he must not let his blood get on Xiao Zibai's body.Tang Lin guessed that the contract made now is only one-way. If his blood gets on Xiao Zibai's body, the contract will become two-way; The contract is not fully fulfilled until it is stained with his blood.

——This more or less made Tang Lin feel relieved.

Ever since he realized that the episode of Xiao Zibai's eight-year-old episode still happened, and he couldn't change anything, the ending of "The Sword of Cultivation to Destroy the World" has been weighing on his heart like a heavy stone. It made him quite out of breath.

In the interval between practicing the method of transforming people, Tang Lin can't help but think, why did Xiao Zibai in the ending desperately protect a pet?

Even if that pet is cute, smart, and has given him a lot of comfort, is it not the only pet in Xiao Zibai's life?He also has a master who loves him, an uncle who loves him, and many fellow students. Maybe the author gave Xiao Zibai compensation for his painful childhood. His life in Lingshan Sword Sect can be said to be relatively simple happy.

What made him abandon all the warmth he finally had, and resolutely choose to use his life to protect a chick that hasn't learned to fly for hundreds of years?

——Unless for Xiao Zibai, it's not just a pet, or even a bird.

The relevant descriptions in the novel were instantly recalled, and each scene pierced into Tang Lin's heart like a sharp needle.

"...The chick screamed softly in his arms, and pecked his fingers with its beak in attachment. A strange sense of admiration arose in his heart. Xiao Zibai reached out and rubbed the soft top of the chick's head. His short hair, the corners of his lips are slightly hooked..."

"... Sensing what Xiao Zibai was thinking, Mao Tuanzi couldn't help but groaned in frustration, turned his head and lay directly in his arms, buried his face deeply, and only put his short tail feathers Facing him, Xiao Zibai smiled and coaxed it..."

"...Ah Xuan sensed his depression, flapped his short wings in Xiao Zibai's arms vigorously, and rubbed his furry head against his chin..."

That "Ah Xuan" will comfort the protagonist from time to time, play cute and make him laugh when the protagonist is frustrated, even the protagonist can easily understand what he means without even looking at him.At first, I thought it was because of the cleverness of that "Ah Xuan", but now that I think about it, those tumbling and cute passages made Tang Lin feel a chill in his bones.

Tang Lin raised his hand and stroked his heart, the emotions belonging to Xiao Zibai were still surging there quietly.

I thought it was some golden finger that traveled through time, but it turned out...it was just a contract.The original "A Xuan" in the book probably also signed the exact same contract with Xiao Zibai?

Thinking of this, Tang Lin's eyes darkened: he never wanted to follow the old path of "Ah Xuan".

All the leads that led to Xiao Zibai's tragic death and the tragic ending of the "world-destroying demon" destroying the world: the identity of the "world-destroying demon", the divination of the suzerain of the Tianyan sect, and this contract...all of them are tainted with the way of heaven shadow.Thinking of this, and looking at the unfinished contract on himself, Tang Lin, who reads widely on the Internet, suddenly smelled a conspiracy.

The magic weapon in the shape of a white cloud under his feet was urged by Kong Liu to fly all the way to Xiaojia Village. Tang Lin raised his head, looked in the direction of Xiao Zibai, and muttered to himself: "Don't worry, I will never let things happen." The development is exactly as God intended.”

Outside Xiao's Village, Xiao Zibai, who was firmly bound, raised his head halfway, his eyes were full of burning fire.The enthusiastic crowd set up a tall fire beside him, cheering and jumping slowly from the outer circle to the inside, and lit the thick dry wood one by one.Under the scorching firelight, Xiao Zibai's face became paler and as cold as ice black jade.

"I can't die now." Xiao Zibai thought quietly, "I haven't had time to see Tuanzi again."

The gifts I made by myself have not had time to be sent out, and the planned trip together has not been able to take place.I only lived with Tuanzi for such a short, such a short and hasty few years, I only left traces of the life of the two in a small piece of mountains not far from Xiaojia Village, and I only had a few thoughts. When I wake up, I can't help but start to smile at the memories... How can I be reconciled, how can I be reconciled.

His body suddenly trembled violently.

The next moment, Xiao Zibai turned his gaze to the villagers in front of him. Although he was looking up at the moment, it gave the impression that he was actually looking down.

Outside the boiling crowd, Xiao Zibai's eyes and brows were all calm.

"I've always wanted to know, what did I do wrong?" He suddenly asked, his voice was actually very soft, but it sounded extraordinarily clear in the night wind, so clear that the frenzied crowd fell into a panic for a moment. silence.

"What did I do wrong? That you all treat me like that? Did I hurt anyone? Knock down someone's house, kill someone's chicken? Why are you all beating me, calling me, bullying I... so that...

…kill me? He blinked, the skin under the long eyelashes was so white that it was almost transparent, as if it was carved out of frozen jade, but such a delicate face was deeply sunken in the shadow, and the villagers in the firelight could not see him clearly The look on the face.

Maybe it was because his voice was too calm, soon a bold villager raised his head and shouted confidently: "You are a monster, we are humans! It is only right and proper for people to kill monsters!"

His words aroused a murmur of agreement among the crowd, "It's just and right", "It's just and right", these four words drilled into Xiao Zibai's ears over and over again.He thought he would be sad, but in fact there was no fluctuation in his heart at the moment. Under an inexplicable impulse, he even raised the corners of his mouth slightly, showing a sneer similar to sarcasm: "monster? Why do you say that I Is it a monster? Is it because I am different from you?"

He lowered his eyes and said expressionlessly: "Why have you never thought that besides monsters, there is another kind of..."

"immortal."

With a soft sound of "ding", the ropes binding Xiao Zibai were torn apart in an instant, and fell to the ground and turned into broken ice. A innocent smile suddenly appeared on his lips, and before the villagers let out an exclamation in their throats, he calmly stretched out his hand and tapped lightly into the void.

Layers of frost spread from the void in an instant, spreading rapidly around where his finger pointed, burning flames, crowded crowds, firewood and big trees... instantly solidified into eternity, everything on the surface They were all covered with an ominous layer of hoarfrost, and the flames of several thrown torches were frozen, and they kept flying downward, falling to the ground and breaking into fine ice powder.

The wind blowing from nowhere, raised many small snowflakes.Xiao Zibai looked against the wind towards the center of the wind and snow, and faintly saw a young man with similar facial features and eyes in the depths of the frost and snow.

The figure of the young man was very illusory, and the shadow seemed to disappear at any moment. Xiao Zibai pursed his lips and ran towards him quickly. Visible velocity thickening.His footsteps echoed monotonously on the ice, and the whole world fell into a dead silence.

... No, it's not dead silence. In this frozen world, besides Xiao Zibai, there is another living creature.

Xiao Zibai slowed down his pace.

He stopped in front of the young man, slowly raised his head, and stared at the young man's frost-covered eyes with his still somewhat ignorant eyes.The young man leaned down, carefully stretched out his nearly phantom hand, stroked the top of Xiao Zibai's hair, and asked him softly, "Are you afraid?"

His expression was gentle and determined. Although there was still an indelible chill in his voice, it had a strange and soothing power.

Xiao Zibai bit his lower lip, and subconsciously wanted to look back at the frozen crowd, but stopped abruptly, and finally shook his head and said, "Not afraid."

"You can't be afraid." The young man said to Xiao Zibai gently but firmly: "You will encounter many difficulties in the future, and there will be more people who want to kill you and harm you than there are people in this village. , much more. But you can’t be afraid, you must not be afraid. If you want to protect someone well, you must first make yourself strong and indestructible, so that you can truly protect him and live with him , do what you want to do."

In fact, Xiao Zibai didn't quite understand the young man's words, but this didn't prevent him from trying hard to memorize the words he didn't understand: just like he just memorized the few words the young man told him word by word, and then rephrased them again. Go and say the same to those villagers.Although those words came from the mouth of the stranger in front of him, he didn't!I can feel that the other party is credible, but I am still slightly confused: "Why did you suddenly appear? And... and none of the torches thrown by those people can touch you?"

What Xiao Zibai said was actually not quite right. The torch didn't "can't touch" the young man, but directly "passed" through the young man's body. The young man squatted down with a wry smile, put his hand on his shoulder, It looked more and more like an ethereal phantom.

"Probably because I'm dead." The young man said bitterly, "I wasn't strong enough and I wasn't determined enough, so I ended up like that in the end. I obviously wanted to protect and tried my best, but I still failed in the end.

I even misunderstood the reason for my failure at all, and there was no hope of success from the beginning..."

Xiao Zibai's expression became even more confused, he was still just a child after all, and could not understand the sadness and despair in the youth's words.

Seeing the confused look in his eyes, the young man couldn't help sighing softly: "I used to be you, but I hope you won't be me." He rubbed the top of Xiao Zibai's hair again, smiled and said to him: "Okay , I will run out of time, and you will naturally know about the future. "

Then he raised his finger and pointed directly at the center of Xiao Zibai's eyebrows.

An extremely pure white spiritual power pierced straight into the depths of Xiao Zi's Bai Linghai, and the already illusory figure of the young man fluctuated and slowly dissipated.Xiao Zibai staggered on the spot, then fell down suddenly, the young man quickly supported him, and carefully laid him flat on the ground.Looking at his ankle that was slowly dissipating, the young man sighed, and sighed to Xiao Zibai: "You are lucky. If I had your luck at the beginning, I wouldn't be in the end...Huh? Why does it seem like there is a demon? build?"

He turned around with a big change in his face, and looked at the horizon from afar.With just one glance, the young man flipped his palm without hesitation, and grabbed a long sword that was also shadowy.

The moment he grasped the hilt of the sword, the temperament of the young man completely changed, and his lazy brows became sharp and sharp in an instant.He pursed his lips, bent his left leg slightly inward, and tensed the muscles in his right hand. Then he twisted his body and drew his sword, and slashed toward the sky——

A muffled sound that was inaudible to the human ear hit the young man's ear heavily.

The figure of the young man was illusory for a moment, and when he reappeared, the half below the waist was completely emptied, and Xiao Zibai, who was unconscious beside him, also showed a painful expression.The young man clutched his chest and coughed violently. Purple-black blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth and dissipated before it hit the ground. The long sword in his hand fell to the ground soundlessly and shattered into thousands of pieces, blown by the wind. It became dust.

The young man wiped the blood from the corners of his lips with the back of his hand, and whispered bitterly: "... Heaven."

Seeing those demon revisionists gradually approaching, and looking at Xiao Zibai who was still unconscious, the young man gritted his teeth and reached out to touch his forehead.The remaining half of his body immediately dissipated quickly from bottom to top, and as the youth's figure gradually disappeared, Xiao Zibai's body was gradually covered with a thin layer of ice.

He took one last look at Xiao Zibai, and murmured to him: "Goodbye, the other me... I wish you good luck, at least luckier than mine."

As the final sound of the word "luck" fell to the ground, the youth's last strand of hair was completely dissipated in the wind. At the moment when the youth's remaining body was completely turned into nothingness, the frost in the entire village quietly disappeared, leaving only The piece of ice that wrapped Xiao Zibai in front of the lower village entrance.The villagers who had thawed out of the ice gradually became active, talking dumbfoundedly about Xiao Zibai's "miracle". The devil in the black robe.

Riding above the clouds, Tang Lin suddenly looked in the direction of Xiao's Village where Xiao Zibai was.

Kong Liu on the side noticed that his expression was wrong, his heart tightened, and he turned sideways pretending to ask casually, "What's wrong with you? Why do you have such an ugly expression?"

Tang Lin curled his toes subconsciously—this is a habit he developed when he was a bird—and said a little flusteredly: "Just now I suddenly... suddenly couldn't feel him."

"I can't sense who... that human race?" Kong Liu quickly realized, his brows furrowed, and he asked straight to the point: "Where did you sense his direction last? What was his emotion at that time?"

Tang Lin racked his brains and tried his best to recall: "When he finally sensed him, his direction in Xiaojia Village did not change. As for his emotions..." He thought for a while, and couldn't help frowning: "...It's hard to tell Originally, Zibai's mood has always been the same, without much change, but the moment before the induction disappeared, his mood suddenly became chaotic, and I was really worried."

He turned to look at Kong Liu: "Why did the contact between me and him suddenly break? Did something happen to him?"

"I have never encountered such a situation where there is no induction." Kong Liu turned his head and did not say "Of course the other party will not be able to sense it if he is dead".With a wave of his sleeve, he accelerated the speed of the magic weapon which was already close to the limit, turned his face to look at Tang Lin, who was out of his mind, and comforted him: "It's okay, we will be there soon, Don't worry."

Tang Lin reluctantly smiled at him, but his heart became more and more anxious.After counting the time secretly, he found with great concern that if the plot of "the villager burns Xiao Zibai on fire" really happened according to what he felt, then it is almost time for the demon cultivator to appear on the stage.

Knowing that Xiao Zibai may be facing danger now, but he can only stand here as if he doesn't know it. This feeling is really not very good.Tang Lin quietly estimated the time required for the whole process of "the demon cultivator killing the villagers, refining Wu Zhu, and taking away Xiao Zibai", and also estimated the distance between them and Xiao's village at this time. In the end, he had to Dismayed to admit that by the time they get there, it will likely be too late.

In the original text of "The Sword of Cultivation to Destroy the World", Moxiu did just take away Xiao Zibai and did not do anything dangerous to him, but what if it is different this time?Tang Lin didn't dare to imagine those "different" possibilities, he wholeheartedly hoped that the plot would develop according to the original text.

Kong Liu had already driven the speed of the magic weapon to a level that Tang Lin could not imagine, but when they arrived at Xiaojia Village, they still only saw a ruined wall: a mess of firewood and burning objects were piled up at the entrance of the village. , the soil on the ground was still wet, and there were faint traces of burning under the old trees with lush branches, but there was no one in the whole village, not even a living thing.

As soon as he landed on the ground, Tang Lin couldn't help pursing his lips: he felt a disgusting power remaining in the air.It was extremely bloodthirsty, chaotic, brutal and crazy, powerful in terms of power alone, but mixed with a lot of negative emotions at the same time.

Tang Lin tried to communicate with the spiritual power of the heavens and the earth, and saw a large area of ​​thick blackness between the villages that had not dissipated, except for some familiar and unusual coldness faintly in the corners.

"Mo Xiu." Kong Liu picked up a handful of scattered soil, moved the tip of his nose, and said slightly disgusted.He shook the dirt away in disgust, twisted his fingers, and pulled out a piece of fine silk to wipe his hands carefully.

Although there was hardly any soil on those hands, he still carefully wiped each finger several times, and then shook the silk to turn it into nothingness.

He raised his head to look for Tang Lin, but saw the latter walking straight towards the big tree at the entrance of the village, with a dazed expression, as if possessed by a demon.

Kong Liu was startled, and his subordinates used the exercise of pure heart and tranquility, and went forward to call him to stop, but Tang Lin had already stopped in his tracks.

"I've seen this place before." Tang Lin murmured, he squatted down, and touched the twisted old bark of the big tree at the entrance of the village.At this moment, there was actually no temperature on the bark, but he still seemed to be able to feel the scorching heat of the flames and the coolness of Xiao Zibai's skin.

He stood up, glanced at the hemp ropes scattered on the ground, and found that the hemp ropes had become torn apart.Suppressing the ominous guesses that surged in his heart, Tang Lin turned his head and said to Kong Liu: "I've seen this before, when I saw Xiao Zibai tied up here—" He pointed to the trunk of the tree: "— —he was surrounded by fire."

Tang Lin fell silent. His delicate and bewitching face after taking human form looked extraordinarily pale under the moonlight at this moment, even showing a bit of fragility.

"Don't worry too much." Kong Liu frowned, and reached out to rub Tang Lin's hair.Tang Lin looked up at him slightly in surprise, Kong Liu coughed dryly, quickly withdrew his hand, pretended nothing happened, changed the subject, and said, "Your friend from the human race is very talented, he is practicing Don't worry about the top-level physique of the ice magic arts, this kind of ordinary fire can't kill him."

Tang Lin didn't expect that Kong Liu, who looked extremely cold, would take the initiative to comfort him, and he couldn't think of how to respond for a while.While he was in a daze for a while, Kong Liu quickly withdrew his hand and lightly changed the subject.

Half grateful and half helpless looking at Kong Liu, Tang Lin followed his words with a wry smile, "I'm not very worried that he will be burned, but I'm afraid that he will be too conspicuous if he is tied up here. build……"

Tang Lin shut up when he said this, but Kong Liu already understood the unfinished meaning of his words.After pondering for a while, Kong Liu took out a token from his pocket.

Under Tang Lin's puzzled eyes, Kong Liu put the token in front of him, waved it at him and said, "Put it on the forehead, thinking about your human friend. Remember, think carefully some."

Tang Lin took the token in a daze, and found that the token was very bone-like, with cold tentacles and a faint coercion.The front of the token is engraved with the word "Heaven" in the font of the cultivation world, and a peacock pattern is engraved on the back with a few knives. The four corners of the token are carved with rough patterns. The style is simple and atmospheric, obviously an antique of some years.

Thinking about the general age of people in the cultivation world, Tang Lin no longer felt anxious about holding an antique in his hand, and stuck the token on his forehead according to his words, and carefully recalled Xiao Zibai's appearance.

After a while, Kong Liu, who was playing with the silver dagger, asked Tang Lin without raising his head, "Have you figured it out?"

"...I should have thought it over." Not knowing what was considered "already", Tang Lin said uncertainly.

Kong Liu stopped turning the dagger, walked over and took the token in Tang Lin's hand, poked his spiritual consciousness into it for a look, and said in a deep voice, "It's indeed done."

Then he raised the token, stared at it for a moment, and flicked it lightly with his fingers.

Obviously Kong Liu didn't make any sound when playing Kong Liu, but Tang Lin felt a "buzz" in his mind, and then a vast and incomparable thought rushed in, violently squeezed into his mind, and left in a hurry. He went, and only left a message in his soul: Search for Xiao Zibai.

This message was very simple, but Tang Lin had an unreasonable urge to "do it right away", as if it was an order that must be done.The message also contained Xiao Zibai's appearance, which was almost the same as the image recalled in Tang Lin's mind just now.Thinking about the monster clan's ability to drive and command beasts, Tang Lin easily understood the usefulness of the token. He looked at Kong Liu in front of him, and said solemnly: "Thank you."

Kong Liu wiped the dagger carelessly, leaned against the tree trunk lazily and said, "Thank you, you are my junior, so naturally I will take care of you."

Tang Lin smiled and said nothing more.Saying thank you once is enough. If you really want to thank Kong Liu, you should show it with actions.He closed his eyes lightly, communicated with the spiritual power of heaven and earth, and started searching for Xiao Zibai's trace together.

Although Tang Lin's "Heaven and Earth Spiritual Power Search Method" is almost pervasive, the range he can explore is very small, only about a dozen miles around his body.This distance seems to be large enough, but in the world of comprehension that is full of "mountains soaring into the clouds" and "rivers tens of miles wide", finding someone is like looking through a window the size of one square meter. Like a thin needle in the sea.

The content of the novels he has read is also useless here: the author has never written about the specific location of the Demon Cultivation Sect!Tang Lin could only use a clumsy method, communicating with his spiritual power to find clues, and then relying on the clues to follow the clues, hoping to find Xiao Zibai's trace.

This method cannot be said to be hopeless, but the hope of that idea is really a little slim.And if he wanted to use external force, with Tang Lin's current status as a monster, it was more than enough to scare a rabbit to death, but Tang Lin was clearly far from being able to do things for him with those wild beasts.

In comparison, Kong Liu, who used tokens, was extraordinarily efficient in finding people.Birds, beasts, flowers, plants, insects, fish...all those who have a chance of cultivating into monsters are looking for them according to the order of the token, and the efficiency is more than ten times higher than that of Tang Lin alone.Not long after, Kong Liu put away the dagger in his hand, walked towards Tang Lin and said, "Two pieces of news, the first one, Xiao Zibai has been found, he was indeed taken away by the demon cultivator, and I happen to know that the demon cultivator Where the sect is."

Tang Lin heard the news, before he could show his joy, Kong Liu continued, "But the second news is that Xiao Zibai is no longer there."
