After being dressed as the evil god

He whispered vaguely, "I, I really can't remember when it started, so I didn't feel very hungry. It shouldn't have been a few months. I remember that we were hungry when we first started to mess up."

"My sister... the time when her attitude suddenly changed was at the end of summer. At that time, not long after Master left, I thought she was just too sad. When I think about it later, I can't remember the exact time. I remember about half a month ago about lighting the lamp... It was the first time she insisted on keeping the lamp on at night. After the lamp was lit, I suddenly panicked and wanted to turn it off, but she didn't If you don’t agree, the two of us argued a few words.”

"But she had become very fierce at that time, so I didn't insist. I told her later that I was very scared, and she refused to give in. I asked her why she had to light the lamp, but she refused to tell me." Liu Yetao's voice became lower and lower, and even trembled. She was frightened, restless, tired and restless, and her narrative gradually became chaotic, "She was not like this before, she was very good. But, but... "

"She refused to tell me anything, no matter how I asked. Later, I followed her secretly once, but just after I followed her to the place, I only heard the name 'Bright Lantern Sect', and I was discovered by her. She She is a very good person, she must have been tricked by that lamp cult to become like this! She will be in danger, but no matter what I tell her, she won’t listen. These lamps must be abnormal, There must be something wrong with the Bright Lantern Cult..."

"In this case, you should reject her arrangement." Bai Hong interjected.

Liu Yetao flinched again: "I dare not. She, her, I've never seen her so angry, I've never seen her eyes like that..."

"Why are you so afraid of her?" Ding Qin asked again, "Were you so afraid of her before?"

Liu Yetao nodded, then shook her head again: "I was brought up by my elder sister. My elder sister was eight years older than me. When Master adopted me, I didn't remember anything, but when I grew up, I learned a lot. It is inconvenient for Master to teach me things, and it is my sister who takes care of me. Sometimes she will scold me when she is angry, but she is actually very good to me."

When she said this, her expression was attachment and awe.Ding Qin has seen many such expressions. When he was in Dingjia Village, Ding Yuliang liked to go fishing by small rivers and creek caves, but his mother didn't allow him to play around. It would be fine if he wasn't caught. If he is discovered, he must be cleaned up. Every time Ding Yuliang goes home, he shows such an expression of love and fear.

"But she was not like this before. Although I was afraid at that time, it's not like now." Liu Yetao became uneasy again, "The way she looks now... is really abnormal. So are those lamps."

"Relax, you'll be fine." Bai Hong narrowed his eyes slightly, and his slender phoenix eyes instantly showed awe.

During the catastrophe, no matter what kind of evil sect and heresy came out and wanted to get involved, no matter what kind of weird tricks he used, just beat him back!After practicing for so many years, she has never encountered an unconvinced evil cultivator.No matter what means these guys use, the ultimate goal is for profit.When they feel that it is not worth it, they will naturally give up.

"No, no." Liu Yetao bit her lip and said, "I'm not begging you because I'm afraid, I'm begging you to save my sister."

Bai Hong raised his eyebrows a little, slightly surprised.

"I'm actually fine. Those lights don't really do anything to me, they just feel scared. But my sister...she has changed so much, and she goes out more and more often, and the time she comes back is getting shorter and shorter. I'm not allowed to follow. I guess she must have gone to those people from the Lantern Cult, but I don't know, I don't know what happened to her, what those people said to her..."

Liu Yetao spoke intermittently, she was very worried, but also very timid.This timidity made her shy away from doing anything, and she felt ashamed of her powerlessness.Taking advantage of Liu Chuanyu's absence, inviting Ding Qin and Bai Hong to help, I'm afraid it was already an extraordinary thing she tried to do.

"You said before that you secretly followed her once, and then you heard the name 'Bright Lantern Sect'. Where did you follow her that time?" Ding Qin asked.

Liu Yetao reported an address.Ding Qin turned her head and looked far away: "Is it the one with a bunch of peach branches hanging on the door opposite? There are two bluestone slabs in front of the door, piled up to form two stone steps."

Liu Yetao's eyes widened in surprise: "You, did you see it?! It's that place, but not that house, it's the neighbor to the west."

Ding Qin didn't answer Liu Yetao's question, her eyes fell on the house that Liu Yetao mentioned.There was a thin layer of dust on the floor and furniture, and it seemed that the people inside had been away for a few days.

"The people inside have left," she said.

"Maybe...maybe it's because I was discovered when I followed her before." Liu Yetao said in a low voice, becoming more and more anxious.

Seeing her like this, Bai Hong suddenly asked: "Do you dare to try without lighting the lamp tonight?"

Liu Yetao hesitated, not quite making up her mind.

"We didn't find anything wrong here or in those nine lamps." Bai Hong continued, "It's okay if you don't want to. But in this case, we can only wait until your sister comes back and wait for her to prepare again." When I was looking for someone from the Bright Lantern Sect, I followed them to have a look."

Liu Yetao bit her lip again.She doesn't want her sister to come into contact with the Lantern Sect again, if she has to choose...

"Then, then I won't light the lamp tonight. When she comes back, I'll just say, just say I'm too scared. She's angry, she's angry... just let her be angry once!"

Seeing her like this, Bai Hong couldn't help laughing, and held a crane feather between his fingers and handed it to Liu Yetao: "Take it with you, the evil things won't hurt you later."

Without waiting for her to thank him, Bai Hong raised his hand and said, "Go and do your work."

After Liu Yetao left, Ding Qin pressed her forehead, wrinkling her face in pain.Bai Hong reached out and rubbed her temples: "What did you see just now?"

"I haven't seen much, and it may not be useful." Ding Qin said slowly, she still had a headache.

Just now she tried to look at the karma in Liu Yetao, but finding what she wanted from the dense karma was even more difficult than pulling out a specific one from the messy silk threads.It was the first time for her to see cause and effect by herself, she was not very proficient, and her spiritual consciousness was a bit exhausted.

"I saw a blue bird with a white head and yellow feet, probably..." She stretched out her hand and gestured for the size, "... so big. It's about the same size as a crow."

When Ding Qin said this, she felt that what she saw this time might not be of any use, but she heard Bai Hong mutter: "It sounds familiar, I seem to have seen it somewhere..."

Bai Hong thought for a while, but he didn't have any idea, and asked again: "Did you see anything else?"

"Hmm... I also heard a very special sound, maybe it was a bird chirping." Ding Qin imitated twice, "'Quiet, hut', probably this sound."

"Quiet...it's Chi Chi!" Bai Hong said.

Ding Qin was confused for a moment: "Ah, yes, that's what Queju called it."

Bai Hong helped her rub his forehead and said with a smile: "The name of this bird is 鶌鶋, which sounds the same as the sound."

Ding Qin blinked and asked with great interest, "How do you write it?"

Bai Hong knew that Ding Qin had been studying, but these two words were still too uncommon.She stretched out her hand to write the name of the 鶌鶋 on the table, and said: "The 鶌鶋 is also a relatively rare exotic beast, but this bird does not have any very good supernatural powers."

Bai Hong sighed slightly: "Zi's memory is very good, and he never forgets anything. They... have a bird, which looks like a crow, with a white head, blue body, and yellow feet. If you are self-defeating, you will not be hungry if you eat. This is what you say."

Ding Qin couldn't help but let out an "ah" in surprise, and felt pity: "Then they...wouldn't many people want to eat them?"

Bai Hong nodded: "Some evil cultivators prefer to take shortcuts. They want to eat bigu, but they don't practice well. Instead, they go to catch cats to eat." When she said this, her face showed a little coldness.

There are many creatures in this world, and there is no shortage of alien species with natural supernatural powers. This supernatural power was originally a gift from God, but because of the greed of others, it has become a fatal spell.It is also like the blue gnat, also like the dream-eating tapir, and also like the catfish.

"There are no shortcuts in the road of cultivation. Those who tend to take sideways paths will suffer backlash sooner or later. He is the best at remembering. Even after death, his soul must follow the person who killed him arbitrarily, waiting for the opportunity to take revenge." Bai Hong said lightly.

"Liu Yetao doesn't feel hungry, could it be because he ate 鶋鶋?" Ding Qin pondered.

"Since you have seen 鶌鶋 on her body, then it must be the reason." Bai Hong said, but doubts arose again, "If she ate 鶌鶋, where is the soul of 鶌鶋?"

As a strange beast, although its supernatural power is weak, it is much stronger than ordinary beasts in all aspects.Even if the body dies, it is not so easy to get rid of the soul of the 鶌鶋.They will not always follow the enemy, but hide themselves and wait for the opportunity.

But Baihong is already a demon god who has achieved success in cultivation, and Ding Qin has a pair of spiritual eyes. What is the origin of this ghost's soul, so that it can hide it from their eyes?If it was really that powerful, how could it be eaten by an ordinary person?

"Could it be that Liu Yetao didn't kill that catfish, she just saw it, and then ate some of the catfish's meat by chance?" Ding Qin guessed.

They have all seen Liu Yetao, she is just an ordinary girl, and it is really too difficult to kill a strange beast.In contrast, Liu Chuanyu, who has not been seen until now, is more likely.How did she know whether Liu Yetao had lit the nine lamps? Ding Qin still can't figure it out.

"Maybe." Bai Hong said, "When Liu Chuanyu comes back, see if there is the soul of that 鶌鶋 around her."

"I can't get enough food..." Ding Qin sighed, "Before the catastrophe, this was just a common anecdote to people, but now, it will probably drive many people crazy."

Clear water is the rarest thing in the desert, and food is the most precious in times of famine.Stockpiling grain, raising prices, and robbing madly, these are just less serious acts, more serious... more serious... under the need of survival, almost everything can be compromised, so it seems that there is nothing you can't do something happened.

I don't know if the changes of the nine lanterns and Liu Chuanyu have something to do with the matter of 鶌鶋.

All that remains is to wait until night to see if there will be any changes.

……

The night came soon, the autumn night was already very cold, Liu Yetao sat on the couch wrapped in a quilt, Ding Qin and Bai Hong were by her side.None of the nine lamps were lit, but an oil lamp brought by Ding Qin.

It's also very strange, in the same room, with the same common rapeseed oil, when Ding Qin lit the lamp, Liu Yetao didn't feel the slightest bit of fear.The warm yellow firelight even made her feel a little warm in the cold night.

Although Liu Yetao feels nervous now, it's only because she didn't listen to Liu Chuanyu and didn't light the nine lamps. Her nervousness is because Liu Chuanyu, who I'm afraid of, will lose her temper when she finds out.

However, even if Liu Chuanyu is true to what she said, she already knows that she has not lit the lamp, if she wants to rush back, she has to wait until dawn tomorrow.During the catastrophe, Lu Guo has already implemented a strict curfew. If you go out secretly at this time, and you have no ability to avoid the patrol team, if you are accidentally caught, you will be thrown into prison , although this is not a serious crime, but if you want to come out, you can't specify when.

The temperature at night is getting lower and lower, the wicks in the lamps are gradually shortening, and the lamp oil is also being consumed slowly. The nine lamps have not been lit, and there has been no change.

The night was really too quiet, not many people could refuse the warmth in the quilt, not to mention Liu Yetao was already very tired.She finally couldn't bear the drowsiness, her head drooped to her chest little by little, and she was about to fall down.

Ding Qin supported her, and Liu Yetao woke up because of the touch, and asked in a daze, "Ah? What's wrong?"

"You're about to fall asleep." Ding Qin said.

"I'm about to fall asleep, I'm about to fall asleep... Yes, I can't sleep, I'll stay up for a while, I..." Liu Yetao vaguely began to rub her eyes, struggling very hard.

Ding Qin saw that she was very sleepy, and said, "Go to sleep, it's fine, we'll call you again if something happens. Don't sit and sleep, just lie down."

Supported by her, Liu Yetao slowly moved and lay down, she couldn't open her eyes, and she was still muttering: "I, I will just sleep for a while, you call me..."

Ding Qin was about to laugh when she heard that, but suddenly felt that Bai Hong beside him changed his aura.

I saw that Crane God's eyes that had been squinting lazily because of boredom had been fully opened, the eyes as black as ink dots were full of divine light, staring in one direction from a distance, his whole body tensed up.

Liu Yetao was so excited by this momentum that she even lost half of her original drowsiness, and opened her eyes again under tension.

"What's wrong?" Ding Qin asked, turning her head to follow Bai Hong's gaze, "That's..."

"The soul of the 鶌鶋?"

……

Thousands of miles away, in the territory of Liang State, there is another temple of lonely souls and wild ghosts.

The furnishings have been changed, and the doors and walls have old marks, but with the surrounding environment and the structure of the building, it can still be easily seen that this is the temple where the old man learned wood carving all night.

Tough weeds have long grown in the cracks between the tiles and bricks, casting desolate shadows by the moonlight in the night.This temple has long been deserted, but at this time, lights are lit in this temple.

Seven hours ago, when the sky just lit up, a breeze blew and visited this long-abandoned temple.

When the breeze fell to the ground, he turned into a monk in dark green robes and carrying a piano bag. He looked up at the plaque in front of the temple, rolled up his sleeves, removed the old dust, and stepped into the temple.

The old paint on the desk is peeling off, the window openings are too narrow to let in much light, and there is an unnamed urn for ashes in the corner.

This is a place that couldn't be more cold, but the green-robed monk who walked in didn't seem to notice that the thick layer of dust that had settled on it had been swept away by his previous sleeve. Picked a place to sit down and looked very comfortable.

After that, he put the piano on his knees, but did not open the bag, and pressed his fingers in the air, as if he was plucking a string.His eyes were half-opened and half-closed, making it difficult to see where he was looking.

He sat like this, from the early dawn of the sky until the night was dark and cold and dew condensed, except for the occasional pressing of his fingers, and the lighting of a lamp when it was approaching night, he was almost motionless and silent.

Even if the little ghosts that appeared in the temple made funny faces in front of him on purpose, dangling around and playing around, they didn't seem to know it at all.In the end, even these curious little ghosts lost interest and started to go about their own business. There were only two little kid-like ghosts left, who still insisted on playing the "scary" game.

"Well, tell me, can he see us after all?"

They squatted in front of Lichi, one of them was tired of making grimaces, he stretched out his finger and poked the other next to him, and asked in a soft voice.

"How would I know?" The other one was pulled over by him and squatted, wrinkling a very reluctant face, "Why do you keep studying him? He doesn't move, doesn't even say a word, What's the point?"

"He's amazing! Didn't you see that when he came in, he just rolled up his sleeves and blew it all away?" said the former one.

"Maybe he only knows this trick?" The latter wrinkled his nose and said, "If he is really powerful, why doesn't he react to us at all? Maybe he can't see us at all, and he can't hear us. Still a long way to go!"

The previous one pouted unconvinced: "I don't believe it, I have to try again!"

"Hey! What do you want to do?" The latter hurriedly grabbed him and said, "Sir, don't allow us to make trouble!"

"I won't do anything excessive, I just..." The former one was talking, his eyes moved to the surface of the Lichi, and his voice froze.

Those half-opened and half-closed eyes have all been opened at some point, and their eyes fell on him clearly and brightly: "Who is Mr.?"

"Oh my god!" The two little devils jumped in fright, and ran back to hide behind the altar.

Li Chi smiled, put the piano aside, stretched his body, and his eyes fell on an unremarkable urn in the corner: "The night is dark, the guest has been waiting for a long time, why hasn't the master appeared?"

In the empty and quiet temple, a long sigh suddenly came out.
