On a starless night, two figures sneaked out of the hut by the lake and tiptoed into the depths of the sea of ​​flowers.

Xiao Zibai walked on tiptoe, and whispered to Tang Lin, "Seriously, do we need to be so careful? I feel like there is no one around..."

Tang Lin turned to stare at him, and said with a "shh", "Although there is no one, maybe there is a demon?"

What he said made sense, Xiao Zibai couldn't refute it, so he quietly shut up.But after being quiet for a moment, Xiao Zibai suddenly poked Tang Lin on the other end of the contract again: "...We are cultivators, right? So why don't we use the invisibility talisman? Are we going to sneak around here?"

Tang Lin was quiet for a moment, then replied quietly: "Because I forgot."

Xiao Zibai was immediately very embarrassed, wishing to fly back a moment ago and press the unspoken words in his belly, but Tang Lin suddenly laughed softly at this moment.

"Don't panic, I'm just joking." He took Xiao Zibai's hand and explained: "After all, this is the territory of the monster race, and they will never let us go. The five senses of monsters are generally very sensitive. With the invisibility talisman, you can’t hide the sound and smell, right? It’s better to pretend to be a mortal honestly, so it’s not easy to arouse suspicion.”

...In fact, he really forgot.

Fortunately, Xiao Zibai didn't get to the bottom of it, but held his hand instead, and said in a low voice, "Since it's a disguise, why don't you just pretend to be a complete one? You said, two mortals don't sleep in the middle of the night and come out to the sea of ​​flowers What do you do?"

"Looking at the stars?" Tang Lin replied subconsciously, but just after saying this, he couldn't help but sneered: "...I forgot, there are no stars in the sky at all."

Indeed, in this so-called Wonderland of Langhuan, there is no sun during the day and no stars at night, but only round and white things that rotate continuously at twelve hours a day.It acts as the sun in the daytime and the moon in the dark. There are at most one or two light-adjusting circles on it, and there is really nothing to see.Tang Lin looked around, and simply pulled Xiao Zibai to sit down, pointed at the lake and said, "Let's look at the lake."

However, this lake is actually not very attractive, the water quality is clear and bright, it looks like a polished crystal in the dark, but there is no trace of vitality, and the whole thing is frozen like a crystal.But the two of them were just looking for an excuse, so they sat down in the sea of ​​flowers. The flowers and plants all over the ground were densely layered, which looked like a blanket.

As soon as Xiao Zibai's weight was on the turf, he realized something was wrong. He couldn't help but reached out and pressed the ground lightly, and said a little puzzled, "Why do I suddenly feel that the ground is not right?"

Tang Lin also felt it, and he said in a low voice: "If it's really what I guess...then the ground is not right, it's actually normal."

Xiao Zibai paused with his hand pressing the ground, his movements suddenly froze for a moment, he frowned, and suddenly his five fingers turned into claws to grab the ground full of flowers and plants!

He scratched the soil with his claws, but failed to grab the flowers and plants growing on the soil: the flowers and plants did not seem to grow on the soil, there was something buried under the soil, and the flowers and plants were deeply rooted on that thing .

"Is anyone watching?" Xiao Zibai asked Tang Lin calmly. When Tang Lin raised his hand, the breeze gently blew across the sea of ​​flowers.

"No, at least not within a hundred miles." Tang Lin replied in a low voice, and then quietly squeezed a decision in his sleeve: "You can do whatever you want, even if someone is watching here from a hundred miles away, I will It is also guaranteed that he will not notice anything within [-] minutes."

Xiao Zibai nodded, and his hands began to exert force, trying to grab the flowers and plants and pull them out.Unexpectedly, those flowers and plants look weak, but their roots are extremely tenacious, and their rhizomes are also extremely tough.Xiao Zibai is a sword cultivator who has formed alchemy. Although he has never deliberately cultivated his body, the strength in his hands is far superior to that of ordinary people. Now that he is pulling hard, he can't pull out the flowers and plants. Bring it up little by little.

Probably because the outside world is facing a full moon at the moment, and the light emitted from the disk in Langhuan Wonderland is also extremely bright. As soon as the outline of the thing appeared, the two of them had already seen its appearance by the light. clear.

The movements of Xiao Zibai's hands inevitably paused.

"This is..." He closed his mouth as soon as he said two words, and continued to quietly pull the thing out from the ground.Tang Lin looked at it for a moment, then stretched out a hand, pointing a bit of earth-colored light towards the ground under his feet.The light fell to the ground silently, but several deep grooves were cracked on the ground full of flowers and plants. Now Xiao Zibai's movement of pulling the thing was much easier, and he pulled half of the thing up in a short while.

The reason why I pulled half of it instead of all of it is because the half I pulled out is completely enough.

Under the pale light of the disc in the sky, Tang Lin and Xiao Zibai stood and squatted, facing each other in the vast sea of ​​flowers.There was a big opening on the ground between them, and a half-black figure crooked out of the opening, covered with slender and white roots of flowers and plants.

After a long while, Tang Lin suddenly said, "I don't smell the stench."

"... Neither do I." Xiao Zibai looked at the human figure carefully for a moment: "It seems to be complete and not decayed." He thought for a while, then suddenly stretched out his hand to feel the pulse of the human figure, Tang Lin was startled, Before he could stop it, Xiao Zibai raised his head with burning eyes: "This man is alive! He is not dead! He—he still has a heartbeat!"

However, this way things seem to have become more dire.How could a normal living person—even if he was alive before—covered with flowers and buried in the ground for an unknown number of years, still be alive?

But the "person" in front of him is alive, breathing, and heartbeating, even though his eyes, ears, mouth and nose are filled with roots of flowers and plants.

Tang Lin looked at him for a moment, then said softly to Xiao Zibai: "... bury it back."

"He's still alive." For the first time, Xiao Zibai didn't follow Tang Lin's words, but repeated it emphatically.

"He is no longer a human." Tang Lin said in a low voice, and unconsciously smacked his lower lip again: "You can't use human standards to ask him... It is good for him to bury him in the soil. Although he It still maintains a human form, but it’s actually more like a plant, if you want it to live, you bury it; if you want it to die, just put it outside like this.”

Xiao Zibai was silent for a while, and finally buried the man back.While burying him, he asked Tang Lin: "Is this person... has he become a demon?"

Tang Lin didn't notice that Xiao Zibai deliberately avoided the word "monster". He watched the human-shaped thing being buried back under the soil bit by bit, lowered his eyes and said in a low voice, "It's not a monster, nor a human being." , He lives in symbiosis with these flowers—no, it’s not considered a symbiosis, maybe he can only be regarded as the... fertilizer? Container? Anyway... no wonder there is resentment in those flowers besides demonic power."

He straightened up and glanced at the endless sea of ​​flowers around him: "I don't know how many people are buried in such a big sea of ​​flowers."

Tang Lin said this very lightly, but Xiao Zibai frowned: "Impossible? How big is a person? Even if the Hecang Mansion holds a flower-picking festival every year, there are only five or six people selected for the flower-picking festival. A year Five or six years, eleven or twelve, even if these demons have been entrenched here for hundreds of years, and they have not been selected every year for hundreds of years, there are only a few thousand people, how can they spread such a big sea of ​​flowers? ?”

"Thousands of people are few?" Tang Lin snorted and patted Xiao Zibai on the back: "When you were in Lingshan Sword Sect, you taught all the disciples to practice swords, and those who practiced swords with you in the square at that time How many disciples are there in total? How many times more? Ten times?"

He counted the time silently with his fingers, and pointed at the other end of the sea of ​​flowers: "If you don't believe me, then let's find a random place and dig it down to have a look."

"Is it too late?" Xiao Zibai covered the man with the last handful of soil, Tang Lin took a closer look, and some green light came out, those flowers and plants grew rapidly, and after a few breaths, a dense layer was formed , covering all the original messy traces: "It's too late, you can choose a place at will."

Xiao Zibai led Tang Lin to choose a random direction and walked for a while, then stopped.

"Just here?" He asked Tang Lin as if asking, Tang Lin tilted his head slightly: "You choose, you dig, I'll watch, don't interfere."

Xiao Zibai: "... Are you really watching me dig like this?"

Tang Lin glanced at him, leaned over to pick a few flowers, and waved at him perfunctorily: "Come on."

Xiao Zibai: "..."

He sighed deeply, resigned himself to his fate and bent down to dig the mud. After digging for a while, Tang Lin shook his head beside him, waved his hand to point out a few cracks in the ground, and then knocked his forehead resentfully: "Don't you know how to do it?" Spells? How can you only use your hands?"

Xiao Zibai retorted: "I'm a swordsman! Swordsman! So what if I know magic? Do you want me to dig the ground with a sword?"

"Don't you know ice skills? When you were young, you obviously played with ice sculptures and snowmen, but why did you become stupid when you grow up!" Tang Lin almost wanted to shake his shoulders with his hands.When his words fell to the ground, Xiao Zibai finally realized something, the wind and snow in his hand turned violently, and in a moment it condensed into an ice shovel.

This time the ground was dug very quickly, Tang Lin looked at Xiao Zibai digging the ground sadly, and once again doubted his choice.

Is the protagonist in the original text really so stupid... Was all this fanned by his butterfly wings?If that's the case, it's really... a big sin.

Tang Lin sighed inwardly.He never knew that the memory of the protagonist in the original text was buried in Xiao Zibai's mind.

On the other side, Xiao Zibai's digging project is nearing completion.Under Tang Lin's reminder, the edge of the shovel made by Xiao Zibai was extremely sharp, and after he woke up, he deliberately added some sword energy to the shovel.But three or five shovels, most of the roots of the flowers and plants that had been tugged just now had been shoveled off, and he dug and pried again, and another humanoid object covered in flowers and plants roots was turned out from under the soil.

Tang Lin only glanced at it, then said to Xiao Zibai, "It's almost the same as the one just now."

Exactly the same resentment, exactly the same demonic power, the only difference is that they are different in size and height.Xiao Zibai was silent for a moment, then shoveled the ground next to him as if unwilling to give up, and then smiled wryly: "There is something under here too."

"How about it, do you want to continue digging?" Tang Lin asked quietly, Xiao Zibai shook his head slightly, and buried the man back in the ground in silence.

After covering up the traces of being excavated here, Tang Lin and Xiao Zibai walked towards the hut by the lake.As he was walking, Tang Lin suddenly noticed that Xiao Zibai had used the lightness spell while walking, and every foot was on the flowers and leaves, and he would not step on the dirt.

...Is it because there are people buried under every inch of soil?

Is that really the case?

Tang Lin opened his mouth a few times but hesitated to speak, and in the end he could only stare at him and cursed "Idiot", but he also unknowingly used his wind power, lightly placed on the flowers and leaves, Following Xiao Zibai all the way into the hut.

The cabin was still a mess.

This time Tang Lin was taught a lesson, he didn't allow Xiao Zibai to stretch out his hand anymore, and ordered him to hold the booklet and stand aside, so as not to get in the way, he rolled up his sleeves and started tidying up the room.While tidying up, he still wondered, "Why didn't I realize that you have this talent when we lived together..."

Xiao Zibai stood upright against the wall with the booklet in his arms: "The furniture from before...isn't there as much as here?"

Tang Lin stopped what he was doing, recalled the simple and unadorned mud hut for a moment, couldn't help but shook his head and said with a smile: "Fortunately, there were few things at that time, otherwise I couldn't find many things to replace you when you showed your talent."

Tables, chairs, beds, cabinets, and bottle racks were arranged one by one. Broken vases, inkstones, flowerpots, etc. were swept up and piled up in one place. Tang Lin also threw away the flowers that were originally in the flowerpots: He really didn't want to put this thing where he lived.It didn't take long for the messy room to be straightened out by Tang Lin miraculously. Xiao Zibai looked at Tang Lin almost with admiration.

Tang Lin smoothed out the wrinkles on the bed sheet, saw Xiao Zibai's eyes, and couldn't help but say with disgust: "What are you doing! It's just cleaning up the room!"

Xiao Zibai nodded subconsciously, and then shook his head when he realized it. After thinking about it for a while, shaking his head didn't seem right, and he was about to nod again. Tang Lin was already impatient, so he sat on the chair and said to him: "Bring the booklet, Anyway, if you don’t sleep, just read the contents.” After he finished speaking, he lowered his head and began to divide carefully!Based on body sensing, they calculated when Kong Liu and the others would be able to arrive here.

"I've checked, and most of the pages here are rotten, and there is nothing left in the rest, so I really can't see anything." Xiao Zibai walked to the table, hesitated by the chair next to Tang Lin After a while, he still walked to the chair opposite Tang Lin.His footsteps were extremely heavy, Tang Lin heard it within a few steps, raised his head and saw Xiao Zibai's back gradually moving away, Tang Lin frowned.

"Sit down." He tapped on the table.

Xiao Zibai hurriedly sat beside him, and quietly dragged the chair to Tang Lin's side.

Tang Lin didn't notice it, took the booklet from Xiao Zibai's hand and flipped through it, and after flipping through it, the brows that had just relaxed couldn't help but frown even tighter.

The booklet was full of traces of evil spirit corrosion.

As a monster, Tang Lin is not helpless against this kind of corruption, but he does not dare to use it in front of Xiao Zibai: to this day, he is still not sure what would happen if Xiao Zibai knew that he was a monster.Although Xiao Zibai would guess the truth sooner or later after knowing his identity was exposed, but Tang Lin was thinking about getting lucky and thinking of "maybe" and "or" as he lived day by day and revealed his identity. The move was half done by him and then shelved.

... He really didn't want to take the risk of losing it.Even though he knew that the risk was one in ten thousandth, the possibility of "one in ten million" surpassed the other nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine possibilities, and it weighed heavily on his heart, making him Don't want to speak, don't dare to speak, don't want to speak.

It’s like walking on the side of a cliff, knowing that the ground under your feet is solid, but next to it is the dark abyss of unpredictability, even if your reason tells you that you won’t fall, the abyss is waiting by the side like a big mouth. , as if ready to eat raw at any time, how can we not be afraid.

Worry about gains and losses, worry about gains and losses.

Holding the booklet in his hand, Tang Lin was in a bit of a dilemma: Should he make a move?Or is there any important message remembered in this booklet?Just as he hesitated, Xiao Zibai seemed to know his embarrassment, and took the initiative to say to Tang Lin: "Look at this booklet first, I'll make a cup of tea first."

Neither of them was in the habit of drinking tea.

However, Tang Lin didn't think of this at the moment, and only breathed a sigh of relief. The moment Xiao Zibai turned around to make tea, he used his demon power and wiped it on the mottled pages of the book.

Dust fell all over the page.
