The soul is afraid of the sun, Huo Qingfeng hides in the cave to rest during the day, and at night he goes down the mountain with Lan Xuan to look for some spiritual herbs that are said to be able to restore the sun.

Because he is a new soul and doesn't have much life experience as a soul, Huo Qingfeng is extremely modest, and everything is done according to Lan Xuan's will.

After several days of living day and night and returning empty-handed, Huo Qingfeng finally couldn't help but said: "We are souls now, and we can't touch anything at all. Even if we find useful herbs, we can't take them away. Why are you looking for it?"

While looking down in the grass, Lan Xuan said, "We don't need to take them away, we just need to absorb the essence inside."

"Absorb? Then how to absorb?" Huo Qingfeng was at a loss, and before he had time to ask for advice, there were some noises in the distance.Lan Xuan hurriedly dragged Huo Qingfeng to the tree to hide.

Lan Xuan stared nervously at the grass not far away, until he saw a few short-haired nine-tailed rats jumping out of it, and then he was relieved.

In the past few days when going down the mountain, Lan Xuan is always very cautious, to the point where the grass and trees are all soldiers.Huo Qingfeng didn't know what he was afraid of, and asked suspiciously: "The monsters in the Man-eating Ridge can't see us at all, what are you afraid of?"

Although the soul doesn't sweat, Lan Xuan wiped his forehead with his sleeve, and then said: "Looking at your age, you should know about the battle between immortals and demons in Cannibal Ridge ten years ago."

"I know." Huo Qingfeng nodded.

Lan Xuan continued: "In that battle, hundreds of monks died in the Cannibal Ridge if not a thousand. You have been in the Cannibal Ridge for so many days, but have you seen souls other than me and Sapphire?"

Huo Qingfeng was stunned. He met Lan Xuan when he came out of the other side stone, and then he followed them. He really hadn't met any other souls.

"Originally there were dozens of us, but unfortunately we were hunted down by a group of Soul Devourers. At the end of the escape, only Sapphire and I were left." Lan Xuan said in a deep voice.

"Soul Eater? Isn't that easy to deal with? With so many monks, how could you be hunted down by them?" Huo Qingfeng was puzzled.

Lan Xuan smiled wryly: "In normal times, a cultivator who has just established a foundation can kill them in seconds. But now we are dead and have become lonely ghosts with no cultivation at all. Soul Devourer specializes in devouring souls For a living."

Only then did Huo Qingfeng realize that he had asked a stupid question, and he couldn't help but feel a little sad, it's really a turn of events.Who would have thought that a monk who had a great reputation during his lifetime would be so powerless to fight back by a group of Soul Eaters living at the bottom of the food chain after death?

"There should be no danger, let's go down." After waiting for a while, Lan Xuan jumped down from the tree and continued to search for herbs.

Looking at his back, Huo Qingfeng thought to himself, even if he was looking for herbs, he must have a specific goal.It's a pity that he didn't have any knowledge in this area before his death, so it's really hard to do it for a while.

"We have been looking for it for several days, but we have found nothing. What kind of herb do you want to find?" Huo Qingfeng caught up with Lan Xuan and asked.

Lan Xuan lowered his head, searched and said, "Didn't I tell you, it's a kind of grass with blue flowers blooming on it."

"There are too many grasses with blue flowers, okay? Young people are really unreliable in doing things." Rolling his eyes in his heart, Huo Qingfeng still asked patiently: "What's the name of this grass? Have you seen it?"

Lan Xuan finally stopped, looked up at Huo Qingfeng and shook his head: "No."

"You've never seen this thing before, why are you still looking for it?" Huo Qingfeng just felt very powerless, he wouldn't have been looking for it for ten years, right?

Lan Xuan said in a low voice: "A senior said that that thing is called Po Yuancao, which only grows in the man-eating ridge of the demon race, and can improve the cultivation of monks. If we find that kind of grass, it may be helpful to us. It's a pity Before we found it, that senior was taken away by Soul Devourer because he was protecting us. Anyway, I can’t leave here, so I might as well find something for myself.”

Huo Qingfeng finally understood that it turned out that Lan Xuan didn't know if Po Yuancao was useful or not, he just gave himself some hope and found something to do.Otherwise, just staying in the dark cannibal ridge like this, either fleeing or worrying about being eaten by Soul Devourer one day, with no way out in sight, life is really hard.

"I do know where there might be Po Yuancao, but I just don't know how to get there." Huo Qingfeng said.

Lan Xuan's eyes lit up: "I'm familiar with the road in Cannibal Ridge, so you might as well tell me about it."

In fact, Huo Qingfeng is also not sure. Ten years ago, he and Xiao Diao saw a few Po Yuancao plants near Rosemary Valley, but they don't know if they still exist.But compared to such a purposeless search, it is better to try your luck near Rosemary Valley.

"Do you know where Rosemary Valley is?" Huo Qingfeng asked.

Lan Xuan's eyes darkened for a moment: "Where is it! Where is the palace of the Demon Lord, surrounded by heavy guards, we may not be able to enter."

Isn't Rosemary Vale a big trap surrounded by drowning lava?When did it become Leng Hanmo's palace?Huo Qingfeng was puzzled, but he didn't want to pay attention to it, "We don't need to go in, we can go outside first."

"OK then."

With the established goal, this road will naturally go very fast.Looking at Lan Xuan who was in a hurry, Huo Qingfeng smiled and said: "You are walking in such a hurry, aren't you afraid of encountering Soul Eater?"

"This is already within the range of Rosemary Valley. Rosemary Valley is the palace of the Demon Lord, and the Demon Lord is the most noble person of the Demon Race. Things like Soul Devourer dare not approach." Lan Xuan said.

"Buying the weak and fearing the hard is really a common problem of immortals and demons." Huo Qingfeng cursed in his heart.

Because it is still far away from the palace, and it belongs to the sphere of influence of Rosemary Valley, there is no need to worry about the harassment of Soul Eater. The two walked very relaxed along the way.

Huo Qingfeng had an idea in mind, and discussed with Lan Xuan: "If we really find the Po Yuancao in Rosemary Valley, we might as well find a hiding place nearby and move here. The cave on the top of the mountain is not a long-term solution after all. Being found by Soul Eater, there is no way to defend ourselves. Moving here is different. First, we can get materials nearby. Second, ordinary low-level magic soldiers can’t see us, and Soul Eater dare not approach us. Just ask, Is there a safer place than here?"

Feeling that what Huo Qingfeng said made sense, Lan Xuan couldn't help but look at him twice, "I didn't expect you to be so smart."

"Old Jiang is naturally much better than a brat like you." Huo Qingfeng said proudly.

Before Huo Qingfeng could be complacent, human voices came from afar.Huo Qingfeng looked back, but saw a group of magic soldiers with lanterns walking towards them.

"Just in case, let's hide." Lan Xuan pulled Huo Qingfeng's sleeve and said, "There are many people on the other side, so I'm afraid there will be experts among them. If they find us, trouble will definitely happen."

Nodding his head, Huo Qingfeng followed Lan Xuan and hid behind the bushes, keeping a distance from the magic soldiers.

Not long after, a group of demon soldiers escorted a carriage passing by. After they had gone far, Lan Xuan came out from the grass, looked at the carriage in the distance, and asked suspiciously: "Strange?"

"What's wrong?" Huo Qingfeng asked.

Lan Xuan said: "If I remember correctly, that carriage should belong to the Prince of the Demon Race. It's so late, where are they going?"

Isn't the Prince of the Mozu the child of Leng Hanmo and He Yaoyao?Huo Qingfeng was not interested in that kid at all, and he didn't want to hear any news about them, so he hurriedly said, "Where does he go, let's hurry up and do our own business." After speaking, he turned and left.

After taking another look at the carriage in the distance, Lan Xuan got up and chased after Huo Qingfeng.

The hard work paid off, and after a short search, the two found three broken primordial grasses by the side of the road.Although they didn't know how to absorb the essence inside, as if they had sensed it, the souls of the two people instantly turned into a wisp of green smoke, followed the stem veins of Poyuancao, and directly penetrated into the root system, absorbing the fruit buried deep in the soil. Cleaned up.

After coming out, both of them felt a little different.Huo Qingfeng looked at the translucent hand, and there were actually two fingers that could be moved together.He tentatively pinched the remaining Po Yuancao with those two fingers, but he didn't miss it.

Watching Huo Qingfeng use the only two fingers to lick the Po Yuancao from the soil, Lan Xuan wondered: "Why do you have a body, but I don't?"

"Maybe it's because my Po Yuan grass is ripe." Huo Qingfeng didn't explain much, and directly brought the pulled out Po Yuan grass in front of Lan Xuan, and said, "You also absorbed this fruit, maybe it will be a fruit." It can be transformed into a physical body."

Looking at the attractive fruit, Lan Xuan shook his head: "Let's keep it for the younger brother. His cultivation base is too low, and his soul is also weak, and the wind will blow him away. With this, maybe he can Feel better."

Looking down at the sometimes bright and sometimes dark fingers, Huo Qingfeng wasn't sure if this entity could last all the way back to the cave.Simply bury the Po Yuancao again,

"Why are you doing this?" Lan Xuan was puzzled.

Huo Qingfeng said: "I don't know how long this entity can last. If it falls on the road, wouldn't it be troublesome. Let's take Sapphire over."

"You are still thoughtful." Lan Xuan praised, thinking to himself: "Since meeting him, luck seems to have improved."

The two returned to the cave excitedly, but there was no sign of Sapphire.Lan Xuan was in a hurry, so he and Huo Qingfeng searched around the top of the mountain, but they still couldn't find anyone.

"Junior Brother never runs around, something must have happened?" Lan Xuan said anxiously, "No, I have to go find him." Lan Xuan said as he was about to run down the mountain.

Huo Qingfeng grabbed him and said, "Hey, where are you going to find him?"

"Junior Brother must have been taken away by Soul Devourer." Lan Xuan's expression darkened: "I know their lair, and Junior Brother was probably taken there."

Huo Qingfeng thought to himself: According to their situation, going would be equivalent to death.But seeing Lan Xuan's expression of seeing death like home, he may not listen to persuasion, this trip to the enemy's den is probably unavoidable.Huo Qingfeng is in trouble, so follow him, it must be a disaster.Don't go, it seems too disrespectful.

After deliberating for a while, Huo Qingfeng made up his mind: he must go, but he can't just go like this.

Looking up at the sky in the east, Huo Qingfeng took a tactic to delay the attack, "You can't go alone, I will go with you. I don't know where the soul eater's lair is? It will be dawn soon. Before dawn, we Can you make it there?"

Lan Xuan turned around and gave Huo Qingfeng a deep bow, and said, "Thank you, Master Immortal, for your kindness. I'm afraid there will be no return to save Junior Brother this time. Lan Xuan really can't bear to let Master Immortal take risks with me."

"What is Brother Lan talking about?" Huo Qingfeng said with a smile: "If I hadn't met you, I'm afraid I would have been captured by Soul Devourer. We met in adversity, and we were life and death friends. This time To save people, we must advance together and retreat together."

"But..." Lan Xuan wanted to say something more.

Huo Qingfeng interrupted him and said: "People must be saved, but they can only be outsmarted, but not forced. Let me think of a way."

"Is there a way for the immortal master?" Lan Xuan opened his eyes and looked at Huo Qingfeng expectantly.If there is a way to save his junior brother and escape unscathed, he doesn't want to die in vain.

"Let me think about it first." Huo Qingfeng laughed dryly, but he was very confused.He was thinking about pulling out Shi Ling from the other side to ask, to see if he had any tricks to deal with Soul Devourer.After all, that old guy has lived for so many years, so he must be a bit malicious.But since he went up the mountain with Lan Xuan, the old guy hasn't shown up for several days, so I don't know if he can still be called out.

Unknowingly, the surroundings suddenly became gloomy and cold.The two felt something was wrong at the same time, and couldn't help but glance at each other.Lan Xuan tried to get out of the cave, but was bounced back by a strange barrier.

"No, it's Soul Eater." Lan Xuan said in shock.

Supporting Lan Xuan who almost fell to the ground, Huo Qingfeng narrowed his eyes and looked at the barrier that trapped them, only to feel that something was wrong.A low-level monster like Soul Devourer can only devour it in a simple and rough way. Is it capable of laying such a meticulous barrier?

Just as he was thinking, several people wrapped in black mist came in from the cave.

"It really is you, what did you do to my junior brother?" Seeing them, Lan Xuan's eyes were tearing apart, and he wanted to rush up to die with them, but Huo Qingfeng grabbed him.

The leader, Soul Devourer, ignored Lan Xuan, but stared at Huo Qingfeng for a moment, then pointed at him and asked, "Are you... Master Huo Xian?"

Unexpectedly, Soul Devourer would recognize him, Huo Qingfeng raised his head in surprise.

"It's really you!" The leader, Soul Eater, was even more sure, and couldn't help laughing: "I didn't expect you to be here too."

Listening to this tone, it is still very familiar.Huo Qingfeng couldn't remember when he had friendship with Soul Eater, could it be the old acquaintance of the original version?

"Master Huo Xian doesn't remember me anymore." Seeing his bewildered expression, Soul Eater quickly explained: "More than 20 years ago, in Tanhua Town, didn't you catch a wok-bodied man-eating beast?"

"Oh! It's you..." Huo Qingfeng slapped his thigh, and immediately got an impression. He pointed at Soul Eater, and blurted out: "You, are you the Soul Eater who kidnapped Leng Hanmo?"

Although his face was covered with black mist, hearing him mention this matter, there was still a trace of lingering fear on Soul Eater's face, "Hey, it's been so many years, why do you still mention that matter. The Lord is our demon now. Lord, it is also because of his grace that we Soul Eaters can have a place in the Demon Race."

Hearing the unease in his tone, Huo Qingfeng understood it.Leng Hanmo covered the sky with one hand in the Demon Race, and Soul Eater Esha was making a living under him, so naturally he didn't dare to mention the past incidents of offending the Demon Lord.

"You guys know each other?" Lan Xuan asked in a daze as he watched them chatting back and forth.

"Well, I met once more than 20 years ago." Huo Qingfeng looked at Soul Eater and said, "Brother Esha, we are old acquaintances. For the sake of friendship, can you let us go?"

"Release?" Soul Devourer said puzzledly: "Do you want to stay here forever?"

"If you don't stay here, will you eat it?" Lan Xuan asked back.

Soul Eater was stunned for a moment, then chuckled softly: "Do you think we are here to eat you?"

"Otherwise?" Lan Xuan sternly said, "You live by devouring souls. I saw with my own eyes that you captured so many monks. You didn't eat them, so why?"

The Soul Eater shook his hand quickly and said: "This fairy misunderstood, we are not arresting you, but saving you. The Demon Lord asked us to come to collect the souls of the monks who died tragically in the Cannibal Ridge. We just have one With a hundred guts, I dare not touch you!"

"How do you say that?" Huo Qingfeng only felt that he heard the funniest joke in the world.

After removing the barrier that trapped them, Soul Eater said to the attendant behind him: "Go and bring that little monk."

Seeing him mentioning his junior brother, Lan Xuan was full of worry.

Soul Eater looked at him and said: "Don't worry, this fairy teacher, that little fairy teacher is doing well, and you will meet again in a while."

Sitting down at any place in the cave, Soul Eater said to Huo Qingfeng: "Master Huo Xian, listen to me and tell you slowly. Too many monks died in the battle between immortals and demons ten years ago. The soul was trapped in the Cannibal Ridge and couldn't get out, so the Mozun took us soul eaters who are good at catching souls under his command. The task was to find the souls of the monks, and then sent them to reincarnation, so it was saved here suffer."

"It was Leng Hanmo who killed us, why is he so kind?" Lan Xuan obviously didn't believe it.

Soul Eater said: "I don't know about this either. I heard that it seems to be the meaning of Mrs. Mozun. You don't know that although Mozun is powerful, he obeys his wife. As long as Mrs. speaks, even the moon in the sky , and take it off for him too.”

"I don't know who this Madam Mozun is? Why did you help us monks who died in battle?" Lan Xuan asked coldly.

Lan Xuan died early, so he didn't see what happened in Tianwaitian, so he naturally didn't know who Mozun's wife was.Huo Qingfeng pondered in his heart: Although these words sound really unreliable, but just now he and Lan Xuan were already the turtles in the urn, unable to fly, and there is no need for Soul Eater to lie to them.However, with He Yaoyao's bad personality, it is impossible for him to suddenly realize that he has become the white lotus of the Virgin Mary.Among them, I don't know what's tricky.

Huo Qingfeng looked at Soul Eater and joked: "Facing the souls of so many monks, can you Soul Eater who live on Soul Eater bear it?"

Allowing Soul Eater to catch souls is like letting a dog look at the bones.In the face of bones, will the dog resist eating?

"At first I couldn't help it." Soul Eater Evil smiled embarrassedly, "But the Lord naturally has his own way. Look, Immortal Master, I have a real body now." After Soul Eater Eshah finished speaking, he Pick up the stones on the ground with your hands and throw them on the stone wall.

Looking at the rolling stones falling on the ground, Lan Xuan was surprised and speechless.Soul Eater has always been invisible, how could it have a body?

"Now that we have a body and teeth, we can eat food and meat, and we don't need to rely on Soul Eater for a living. Strictly speaking, we are no longer Soul Eater." Soul Eater said proudly.

"How did you do it?" Lan Xuan asked quickly.

Soul Eater smiled and said: "Of course we don't have the ability to do this anymore, the Lord helped us."

"Oh." A trace of disappointment flashed across Lan Xuan's face.If he knew how to practice Soul Devourer, he might be able to regain his body.

When the few people were talking, Sapphire was also brought in.

"Brother!" Seeing Lan Xuan, Lan Yu rushed over and hugged Lan Xuan's waist tightly.

Seeing that his junior brother was safe, Lan Xuan also heaved a sigh of relief.

The Soul Eater stood up from the ground, and said: "Okay, now that the misunderstandings have been explained clearly, Master Huo Xian will follow me to see the Lord."

"Meet the Lord? Why are you seeing him?" Huo Qingfeng was startled.

The author has something to say:

I came back late today, and I was late for a while, so don't blame me.
