Jiang Li said that he didn't remember much, he only vaguely remembered that there seemed to be a tree in the center of this dead city.

The canopy of that tree is huge, stretching out around, lush and green, covering the sky and the sun, it is the only touch of green in the yellow sand all over the place, it is extremely beautiful, when standing under the tree, it is covered by that touch of greenery, just like People who have been walking in the desert all year round and are extremely hungry and thirsty have found the oasis they have longed for.

"This tree keeps flashing in my mind. It seems to be tempting me to approach it. I didn't know where this tree was and what it was until I entered the city of death and saw the yellow sand all over the place. I just remembered that the tree is here, he seems to..."

Jiang Li paused when he said this, looking far into the distance, with perplexity and puzzlement in his eyes: "It seems to have been waiting for me."

"If it is true as you said, there were two people who walked out of the city of vain, then it must have something to do with this tree. If you find this tree, you may find a way to leave here. And this tree is in the center of the city of vain, It is also the birthplace of the ghost king.”

In other words, these fierce ghosts are fighting all the way, but they are actually walking in the direction of that tree. That is their destination, and only there can a new ghost king be born.

Zhou Qi glanced at Jiang Li, his eyes were murderous, but considering the current situation, he held back for the time being, and said with a bit of sarcasm, "Then what if some ghosts are passive and sabotage their work and hide?"

Jiang Li ignored Zhou Qi's killing intent, and said bluntly: "You are stupid, what you can think of, my lord can't think of it?"

Zhou Qi glared: "You—"

"So raising Gu is not the only way to give birth to a ghost king. If you kill enough ghosts and are strong enough, a ghost king will be born, but the birth of a ghost king requires a lot of power. It is difficult to achieve it without killing all the ghosts in the city. It's all gone, there is only one ghost left in the dead city, and if you don't have enough strength, you won't be able to become a ghost king. There is obviously no sign of the birth of a ghost king in this dead city."

"I've said everything I need to say." Jiang Li looked at Ning Jiu, "Can you tell me who that person is?"

Ning Jiu didn't let it go, and said directly: "Huiyuan."

"Master?" Jing Yun looked stunned, a little unbelievable: "Back then, Master and Daoist Wu Xin drove many evil spirits back to the underworld with their combined power, but then they disappeared suddenly. Could it be that they entered the city of death? "

What happened back then, these younger generations are all hearsay and don’t know much about it. They only know that Master Huiyuan and Daoist Wu Xin were models in the metaphysical world back then, and they were highly respected. .

"Master Huiyuan entered the City of Death, so didn't Master Wu Xin also come in?" Zhou Qi pondered, then turned his gaze to Jiang Li: "Where is Master Patriarch Wu Xin? You were all in City of Death at that time, so you must have seen him."

Jiang Li was also shocked at the moment, but he pretended to be calm on the surface and did not reveal the emotions in his heart.

Hearing Zhou Qi's question, his eyes were provocative, and he said deliberately: "Who knows, there are so many ghosts, how can you tell who is who, maybe I killed them long ago."

Zhou Qihong focused his eyes and raised his money sword to attack: "I'll kill you!"

Wei Dong hurriedly stopped him: "Don't be impulsive, he deliberately provoked you, let's see the situation first and then talk."

Zhou Qi was stopped, so he calmed down a bit, knowing that he could not kill Jiang Li by himself, so he could only stare at him viciously, swearing in his heart that one day, he would definitely pay Jiang Li for his blood.

Jiang Li curled his lips when he saw that Zhou Qi didn't move anymore, and that the fight would be impossible, as if he was quite disappointed about it.

Wei Dong pulled Laning Jiu's clothes, and asked in a low voice, "Where is Master Huiyuan now? Has he been reincarnated?"

Ning Jiu nodded and said "Yes".

They spoke in a low voice, but Jing Yun and Zhou Qi were very concerned about this matter, and kept listening with their ears pricked up, so they could hear the conversation very clearly. Even Jiang Li paid attention to this side in silence, and heard Ning Jiu's After answering, he looked away as if nothing had happened.

He doesn't remember that he and Huiyuan had an intersection, or even the existence of this person. There is a big blank in his memory, who is he, why did he enter the city of death, what happened in this process, and what happened to the tree? What happened, Jiang Li had no idea.

After becoming the Ghost King, he was brought out from the City of Death by King Bian Cheng.

He still remembers some scenes of fighting in the city of death, his hands were covered with blood, and even in the end, only the instinct of slaughter was left. After experiencing these, he was not interested in the so-called past events at all. By the side of King Biancheng, he obeyed his orders and served him.

Before this, Jiang Li had never thought about his past, until he went to Qingyun temple, met Yan Rui, and Jingyun, he suddenly became curious why Yan Rui looked at him with that kind of eyes, and saw Jingyun How can you feel familiar and heartbroken when you are here?

And at this moment, he doesn't think Ning Jiu is lying, so he did leave the City of Death with Huiyuan back then, but he doesn't have the slightest memory of Huiyuan in his mind.

Thinking of this, Jiang Li lowered his eyes, and a little uneasiness suddenly surged deep in his eyes.

This feeling became more and more intense as he got closer to the tree.

After finding the target, they headed straight for the tree. On the way, they encountered many ghosts attacking them, and all of them were killed together.

Those fierce ghosts have devoured countless evil spirits. They are extremely vicious, and the formation has a suppressive effect on Ning Jiu. It is not easy for them to go all the way. He was out of breath and in a mess.

Jiang Li dealt with Li Gui with ease, but his complexion was no better than that of Wei Dong and the others. The closer he was to the center of the City of Death, the uglier his complexion became.

At the beginning, he was idle and had nothing to do, and deliberately provoked Zhou Qi, and laughed when he saw Zhou Qi being teased into anger, but then he had a gloomy face, and didn't say a word, let alone trouble Zhou Qi.

Anyone can see that something is wrong with Jiang Li, but what is wrong is Jing Yun, his complexion is also very ugly, his bloody face has turned pale, and the mole between his eyebrows is getting redder and redder, like blood Generally, deeply imprinted in that.

He was panting heavily, and sweat dripped from his face, almost soaking the monk's robe.

"How are you? Are you okay?" Wei Dong noticed that his condition was getting worse and worse, so he hurriedly helped Jing Yun down, and asked worriedly.

Jing Yun shook his head: "I'm fine, but I always have some bad premonitions."

After he finished speaking, he glanced at Jiang Li. He didn't expect Jiang Li to be looking at him at this time. Their eyes briefly collided in mid-air, and then Jiang Li quickly looked away, with a casual expression, as if he had just seen everything. Yun's person is not him.

"Let's stop here." Jiang Li's complexion was no better than Jing Yun's, and he suddenly said, "I won't go any further."

He had a premonition that if he followed them to the tree, he would definitely die here.This premonition became more and more intense as the distance got closer, like a heavy mountain pressing down on his heart, the instinct for survival reminded him that he should stop to the end, otherwise he would surely die.

After saying this, Jiang Li immediately turned around and walked back, expressing with a firm attitude that no matter what, he would not go any further.

But before he had gone far, he suddenly heard a few exclamations from behind him.

"There's something over there, hurry over and have a look."

"Looks like two people."

"..."

Out of curiosity, Jiang Li temporarily stopped in his tracks.

Jiang Li wanted to leave, but Wei Dong and the others didn't intend to keep him. They walked straight forward, turned over the sand dunes in front of them, and found two figures from behind not far ahead.

The two backs are very slender, one is wearing a monk's robe, the other is wearing a Taoist robe, standing tall and straight, as if looking into the distance.

It was really unimaginable to find a person in the city of vain death, Wei Dong and the others quickly walked over.

After getting closer, they realized that although the thing was exactly like a human being, it was not a human being, but two stones.

"How did the stone grow like this? Is it a genetic mutation?" Zhou Qi was surprised: "If it doesn't feel right to the touch, it looks like a human being, which is too strange."

Only Ning Jiu could answer this question. When Zhou Qi asked, the three of them turned their attention to Ning Jiu, wanting to know what was going on.

"This is called a memory stone." Ning Jiu said: "After they are born, they will record the first sight they see, and then imitate it, and grow exactly the same. I have seen them before, and thought they were extinct long ago. , I didn’t expect to see you here again.”

The world is full of wonders, let alone in the city of death in vain, although the three of Wei Dong were surprised, they didn't ask any more questions.

Jing Yun stared blankly at the faces of the two men, and fell into long-term shock and contemplation.

Zhou Qi also looked at the portrait, surprised and puzzled: "Why does this person look exactly like Jingyun? It looks like it was carved out of the same mold, but there is no red mole between the eyebrows. There is also the person next to him, who is clearly... "

He stopped abruptly in the middle of his speech and did not continue, but those who saw the portrait clearly understood what the next half of his sentence was.

Of these two portraits, one resembles Jing Yun very much, and the other resembles Jiang Li very much.

But it's just like, Jiang Li came out of the city of death in vain, and that person might be him, but after Jingyun was born, he never stepped into the city of death in vain, and although the people next to him looked exactly like him, they definitely wouldn't It's him.

Wei Dong looked at this scene with a puzzled expression, not knowing what was going on.

Seeing that Ning Jiu was standing a little further away, he quietly backed away, and when he got to Ning Jiu's side, he asked in a very low voice: "Do you know anything else?"

Ning Jiu was noncommittal, and looked at Wei Dong with a smile, but did not answer the doubts in his heart: "When we reach the destination, we will know the truth."

Wei Dong muttered, "It's really tricky", and didn't continue to ask. Anyway, according to their current speed, they will reach their destination soon, and the truth will naturally come out by then.

At this moment, they suddenly realized that Jiang Li, who had insisted on leaving just now, suddenly changed his mind and continued walking forward.

Zhou Qi never let go of any opportunity to taunt him: "Aren't you insisting on leaving? This slap in the face is too fast."

Jiang Li walked forward quickly, without turning his head, he said: "The road is not yours, I can go wherever I want, bite me if you have the ability, you little idiot."

Zhou Qi glared at him angrily, blushing with anger.
