zero o'clock

【Dawn before darkness】

After listening to him, a smile appeared in Yan Mo's eyes, and he said helplessly, "If you really think so, you wouldn't be willing to accept that knife when we met in Mulan Paddock last winter. Jing Yu, even if you are The nine-tailed demon fox, who is good at deceiving people's hearts, can't possibly deceive my eyes."

"Because you are a demon." Qi Jingyu's voice was cold and stubborn.

Yan Mo laughed immediately when he heard the words, and said playfully, "Jing Yu, is it really so difficult to admit that I understand you?"

Qi Jingyu was noncommittal, did not speak, got up and took off his suit jacket to cover Feng Chi's body, then came to Yan Mo without looking back, and said lightly: "It wasn't his physical body originally, but it was alienated into five bodies by the influence of Feng Hun. In terms of appearance, I don't want him to fall into the hands of others, and I don't want to take him elsewhere, so let this matter be settled in Xishan."

These words were not too blunt, but Yan Mo knew what he meant in his heart. He looked past Qi Jingyu and landed on Feng Chi. He raised his free left hand and snapped his fingers lightly. Jumping out of thin air, it quickly covered the corpse and burned silently.

Qi Jingyu stood against the firelight, her eyelashes drooping, and she remained silent, as if she was completing an extremely heavy ceremony.

The battle continued in the distance, Feng Chi was dead, and the spirit of the Demon Subduing Master was distracted, gradually showing signs of being defeated.

The rainstorm stopped suddenly, the clouds cleared and the fog dispersed, and a new rising sun poked out of the horizon from the east. In an instant, the gushing golden red light pierced the darkness. Dawn has come, and the Qingluan Huofeng 3000 years later has also completed the crucial task. Nirvana rebirth.

Qingluan landed on the ground and turned into a human form. After devouring the last ray of phoenix, Li Huan felt a little dizzy and very sick.After fully becoming a demon, all aspects of body functions have improved to varying degrees, especially the five senses and strength. He tried to take a step forward, trying to adapt as soon as possible, but only heard a soft "click", something fell off Go down and roll into the grass at your feet.

Just as Li Huan was about to bend down to pick it up, a hand reached out from behind and put it on his shoulder, and shook it lightly.

"I'll do it." After Xing Yi finished speaking, he walked around him and found the little thing in the grass.

"What is it?" Li Huan asked.

Xing Yi turned around and showed him his palm. Li Huan regained his composure and saw a teardrop-shaped translucent spar lying on his palm.The spar Yinhong resembled blood, and a dark red demonic light slowly circulated inside it. Li Huan could feel the demonic power emanating from it was very familiar, and he hesitated: "Could it be?"

"Phoenix Blood Blade." Xing Yi spoke out for him, "Since the Tang Saber is broken, let's accept it."

Li Huan responded with a nod on the surface, but he was somewhat concerned about this spiritual knife in his heart.

Tonight, it actually indirectly determined the life and death of himself and Feng Chi. Although the stabbing was done by Xing Yi, after all, due to the choice of Phoenix Blood Blade, he proudly returned to the place where the three souls lived during the short-lived death, and witnessed Feng Hun's death. Fusion, and devoured the newborn chicks in one fell swoop.

Thinking of this, Li Huan didn't touch the spar transformed by the blood blade, but said: "You put it away for me first."

Xing Yi casually put the spar into his pocket, then reached out and patted Li Huan's head.After Li Huan relaxed, he felt very tired, so he simply took two steps forward and slipped softly into Xing Yi's arms, like a boneless mollusc, hugging him like a baby, without moving.Xing Yi knew what this guy meant, so he had no choice but to give up his plan to help with the aftermath, turned around and carried someone on his back, and led him to meet up in the direction of Qi Jingyu and Yan Mo.

Li Huan rested his chin on the man's shoulder, and tilted his head to look at Xing Yi. From this angle, his handsome features were clearly defined, and there was a cold and gentle light in his deep eyes.Sensing someone's gaze, Xing Yi turned his head to look at him, and said indifferently, "What are you looking at?"

"I'm thinking about the time you manipulated Feng Chi to stab me..." Li Huan said as he stretched out his arms and put his arms around Xing Yi's neck, rubbing his cheek against his side, "At that moment, I thought I was being raped." Betrayed, and by the most important one. Brother Yi, do you know that when Feng Chi came to me, I was very scared. I knew that I was not his opponent, and I knew that I would die if I dragged on... It's messed up, I have many thoughts, but the clearest thing is that I know I can't let you go."

Li Huan's voice was soft and slightly hoarse, sounding particularly aggrieved.

Xing Yi's eyes were stained with a smile, and he felt that this guy was so cute and stupid. He was about to say something when he felt some kind of warm liquid melted into the place where the two wanted to stick, and the person behind him His breathing was also messed up.

It turned out to be really wronged...

Thinking of this, he felt distressed again, and said helplessly, "How could I betray you?"

"I don't know. I really couldn't think too much at that time." Li Huan shook his head, pretending to be calm and suppressed the trembling of his voice. He thought that Xing Yi hadn't noticed, so he quietly wiped away his tears with his sleeve, and continued, " The matter at the tea house last time has not come to fruition, everyone is very suspicious, naturally... including you." When he said the last sentence, his voice weakened unconsciously.

Xing Yi said silently, "Then have you ever thought about what to do if it is really me?"

Li Huan gave a very calm "hmm", turned his face and kissed the sensitive skin behind the other's ear, and said in a tone that seemed very reluctant: "I just pretended that I slept with the wrong person."

Xing Yi: "..."

Xing Yi was about to be amused by this guy, and couldn't help but say, "Listen, that's the only use I have for you?"

Li Huan knew that he said this on purpose, so he simply followed this increasingly wretched line of thought, and said, "Don't talk like you're being used, you're the one who can't stop having fun every time, right? Mr. Demon Subduing Master?"

"I want to stop, do some monsters have to let go?"

"Hey, to be reasonable, I just won't let you in the first half of the night?!"

"So you don't care about me when you feel comfortable in the second half of the night? You monsters are really ruthless."

"..."

A row of ellipsis popped up above Li Huan's head, thinking what kind of hooligan thinking is this?At that time, I won’t feel any pleasure, only pain, okay? !If this is considered fickle, then the most affectionate thing in the world must be Masturbation Cup, after all, it will not ask to stop!

etc!Why would you want to go to the Masturbation Cup?

Isn't this self-defeating? !

Li Huan: "..."

Li Huan was rendered speechless by his brain, and quickly shook his head to drive out those strange thoughts.

Not far away, seeing the two people approaching, Qi Jingyu and Yan Mo stopped talking and turned to look at them respectively.After walking in, Xing Yi let go of Li Huan and put Li Huan on the ground. Li Huan noticed the cluster of burning karma and couldn't help but take a second look. Because of your life, but also because of Feng Chi's death.

Li Huan couldn't guess what kind of feelings the teacher had for Feng Chi. If it was just the word "brother", it would be too thin anyway, but if there were other things, it would be very unreasonable.In his impression, the teacher is indeed an indifferent monster, who has never been overjoyed or sad, and there has never been anything that can move him. Thinking about it this way, it is not unreasonable for Xing Yi to say that monsters are ruthless of.

However, facing Qi Jingyu at this time, he could clearly feel the difference in the other party.

——So, monsters are ruthless, just because they haven't met anyone who is emotional.

The moment the four met, the atmosphere was awkward, Qi Jingyu was silent, and Li Huan didn't know what to say.The master and apprentice were silent, and it was even more inconvenient for Xing Yi and Yan Mo to speak rashly, but they looked at each other with some tacit understanding. Xing Yi lowered his eyes and glanced down meaningfully, Yan Mo was slightly stunned, Then he understood, mentioned the little shark wrapped in the cloak and cleared his throat angrily.

Li Huan came back to his senses suddenly, and only then remembered the matter of Du Qiu, he quickly took the things and put them in his arms, and took off the cloak to check the situation.

Having been frightened before, the little guy is very sensitive now, and he has been out of the water for a long time. He hugged his body and curled up into a ball. As soon as he came into contact with the air, he let out a frightened "ah" and buried his head, his body trembling. Very powerful.

Li Huan felt very uncomfortable when the little ghost he used to know became like this. He reached out his palm to comfort him a little, but worried that he would be frightened. In the end, he only lightly stroked Du Qiu's wet hair, and then put him back together again. well wrapped.

"Is there any way to make him turn back into a human?" Li Huan frowned slightly, raised his head and gave Yan Mo a questioning look.

Yan Mo smiled and said, "If so, do you think Jing Yu will allow you to live as a half-demon until now?"

Li Huan was stunned for a moment when he heard the words.

Yan Mo said again: "There is no way to separate and remove the demon soul without harming the original owner. Demonization is irreversible. The mystery of the three souls far exceeds our understanding, otherwise Chong Ye would not have spent so many years researching fusion The method of a half-demon. As for this child, he can only wait for his personality to recover and slowly accept his own reality."

These words are obviously explaining the problem about Du Qiu, but they are actually creating topics for the relationship between the master and the apprentice who is getting more and more delicate.

Of course, Qi Jingyu heard the meaning of a certain demon, and said naturally: "Xiaohuan, you don't have to blame yourself, and you don't have to be too pessimistic. From some aspects, this child is really unlucky, and he has become a provocateur for others." Our victim, but on the other hand, it’s not too bad, at least he can return to the world of demons, you are the kindest disciple of the teacher, treat him well from now on.”

He stretched out his hand to carefully comb the broken hair on Li Huan's forehead, and wiped off a blood stain on the side of his face, and said: "After inheriting the Phoenix Soul, your blood will be more special than before. Don't be annoyed by the teacher. Be careful in the future." Don't get hurt. The Nirvana of the Feng family occurs once a thousand years. The process is very painful. After each rebirth, you will go through a few years of fledgling period. During that time, you will be very weak and easy to be coveted by the same kind, but as long as you survive it, you will obviously feel the increase in demon power .”

Having said that, he paused for a while, then raised his eyes to look at Xing Yi, and said, "I believe you will take good care of him, Xing Yi, I appreciate your decisiveness and your ruthlessness, today you stabbed him instead of Feng Chi. That knife—to be honest, it really took me by surprise.”

Xing Yi said: "You also think I betrayed you?"

"No," Qi Jingyu smiled, "I just confirmed your ability and asked myself that I can't do anything to Xiaohuan. There are not many people who are more ruthless than demons. You are just such a special person who is very suitable for you The world lives on."

"Lord Nine-Tails is overrated." Xing Yi said.

At this moment, Xuanzhi Baize finished dealing with the last demon subduing master and puppet beast, and Ji Qingci changed back into a human form and rushed over to Qi Jingyu respectfully, saying, "Teacher, it's done."

"Is there anyone alive?" Qi Jingyu asked.

"Yes," Ji Qingci said, "Brother left behind that woman whom Feng Chi valued very much, teacher wants to interrogate?"

"Of course, I'll send her to Wanqing's pawnshop when I go back." Qi Jingyu raised the corner of his mouth slightly, his eyes turned cold, as if a layer of ice had formed, and ordered, "It won't be long before the news of the West Mountain fire will be over. Spread the word, this matter is sensitive, and it is easy for humans to think it was done by a demon."

"It's not safe here. Chi Xiu will probably have to be ordered to investigate during the day, and we will leave as soon as possible. After you go back, you should take the time to rest. After Mo Luo and I finish interrogating that woman, we will meet at the tea house in two days and discuss it. Next question."

As soon as the words came out, everyone heard a deeper meaning, and then tacitly didn't say much.
