The further you go in, the inner hall becomes quieter and darker, surrounded by heavy curtains, each layer is light and thin gauze, reflected by the lights, motionless in mid-air, even the shadows on the wall stationary.

It seems that something is buried deeply.

Xie Changming stopped, raised the knife, and opened the curtain in front of him.

The layout inside looks like the emperor's bedroom, but there are no servants. There is an incense burner in the center, and white smoke is curling up, which has a very sweet smell.Emperor Kanggan was sleeping on the soft bed, calm and stable, but he was holding something in his arms, a soft ball, as if he had sensed some movement and moved slightly.

Chen Xun Dun asked silently in the distance.

Where is the person in charge hiding?Could it be the one in Kang Qiandi's arms?

Xie Changming shook his head and looked at the burning stove quietly: "That's an ordinary dog."

However, Emperor Kanggan was not just an ordinary mortal, he was covered and protected by a precious magic weapon, which is rare to see.Cong Yuan is a half-demon, and his mother is the devil king of the Twelve Demon Heavens, but it was his father who taught him to use exercises to cover up.Walking in the world, a person with a high cultivation base can see his connection with the demons at a glance.However, it is difficult for ordinary people to notice the weirdness of Emperor Kang Qian. Xie Changming's senses are different from ordinary people's keenness. He can see that Emperor Kang Qian is not a mortal.

Xie Changming can probably guess it.

He said to Chen Xun, "There is no one else."

His voice was not low, which woke up the dreamer.

Emperor Kang Qian, who was on the slump, turned over, yawned, and got up slowly.The golden-red satin was hung on the edge of the bed, and he was leaning against the head of the bed, his hair was combed neatly, his face was not as ugly as most people imagined, but like a pale and handsome young man, without any old appearance, and he could not be seen Already in his forties, he just felt that he was suffering from some kind of affluence disease that needed recuperation.

Emperor Kang Qian saw that the people who came were Chen Xun and a monk practicing Taoism. He felt that this monk had some skills and could kill the one outside, but it didn't matter. A beautiful poodle, teasing the puppy: "Your husband is here, are you happy?"

Chen Xun only thought that he was humiliating himself and didn't care.

Xie Changming stepped forward and put the blood-stained knife back into the sheath. He was not in a hurry, but said, "It's not that Cheng Zhi also came to you, but you came to Cheng Zhiye."

Emperor Kang Qian let out a "huh" in surprise, and touched the head of the puppy in his arms. His behavior was no different from that of young people, and he praised: "You are so smart. In the past 20 years, I have met six or seven Some cultivators visited their relatives and found that their family members were all dead, looking for traces of blood relationship, and found out that something was wrong; The real murderer is behind the scenes. I am the emperor of the world, the lord of the people, can I kill so many people and do so many things, but only those who cultivate immortals are worthy?"

Chen Xun seemed to be hit by a stick, and finally woke up like a dream, but the pain was severe, and he murmured: "There is no one else, there is no one else..."

Xie Changming remembered what Chen Xun had said.Emperor Kangqian was not congenitally deficient. If his brothers hadn't fought for the throne, he wouldn't have been the emperor.

Such a timid, cowardly, weak and unremarkable prince may have searched for a long time for alchemists and collected a lot of methods to prolong life, but those methods would require a large number of teachers, so they could not be done before.After accidentally becoming the emperor, I can finally do it.

No matter how sensational, how outlandish and bloody spell, you can try it.

Xie Changming looked at him, and said firmly: "You sacrificed people and thought you opened the door to the fairyland, but you didn't expect that the place behind the door is not the place you thought."

Such a formation, offering flesh and blood equal to one's own body, is the exchange to be done when falling into a demon.So Emperor Kang Qian didn't have a trace of cultivation, but he was a demon.

Emperor Kang Qian was stunned for a moment, probably because he didn't expect Xie Changming to guess this matter.

Xie Changming said slowly: "You are a mortal, and you strayed into the demon world. You would not survive for a moment. You would either freeze to death in the ice and snow, or be burned to ashes by the fire, or even be eaten. But you didn't, you survived intact. When you come back from the Demon Realm, no one will find that you are no longer a mortal."

He paused, did not explain, seemed to be just guessing: "Someone, or something not human, saved you, and you are willing to build a blood pool for it, sacrifice your life, in exchange for longevity."

That person was not Cheng Zhiye, and Cheng Zhi was only ordered to protect Emperor Kang Qian.Of course, he may have gotten inspiration from this incident and found that it is the most convenient way to seduce the emperor in the world, but Emperor Kanggan was not the one who was seduced.

For the first time in 20 years, Emperor Kanggan felt like sitting on pins and needles.He was seen through and guessed, but he couldn't answer.

Xie Changming approached a little closer, and he was only a short distance away from Emperor Kanggan. He asked, "Is it Changsheng?"

Emperor Kang Qian raised his head, his eyes showed their original color, revealing the blood-colored pupils belonging to every devil cultivator and every fallen devil, he gritted his teeth and said, "What's wrong with longevity! Don't you cultivators also want to live forever?! If I can't cultivate immortality, I can't live forever?!"

Chen Xun couldn't help cursing angrily: "What do you want? Seeking skins from tigers, selling hundreds of thousands or millions of lives, and killing the prince, you are not as good as an animal!"

Emperor Kang Qian smiled when he heard the words, like a seriously ill and gloomy young man, he said to himself: "Teacher, you have a benevolent heart and ambition, what is left now? I am the lord of the people, the father of the prince, their lives, It was originally given by me, so what if I take it away now?"

He was not afraid of Xie Changming who was right in front of him, and said confidently: "You are a smart man, and you are also a cultivator. If you can kill Cheng Zhiye's dog, you must have a good cultivation level. Why don't you follow me, and I can help you ascend."

Xie Changming lowered his eyes and looked at the person in front of him.As Chen Xun said, he is really smart.Innately deficient, so I didn't think about fighting for the throne before, I just wanted to be an idle prince.When the brothers are all defeated, they are relentless.

No one deliberately seduced him, but he himself tried countless times to build a passage to the devil world that is almost impossible for ordinary people without cultivation.He is valued because of his intelligence and cruelty.He looked down on Cheng Zhiye, even if Cheng Zhi waved his hand, he would be wiped out, because he knew that he was irreplaceable, and Cheng Zhi couldn't do anything to him.

Emperor Kang Qian has a kind of evil that understands the world. Other practitioners can take his appearance, put on his clothes, and fake his name, but no one can use so many methods to support Da Yuan like him. The subjects, in the past 20 years, have continuously provided so many human lives, and they are still continuing.

Such a smart, weak, and calculating person, Xie Changming suddenly wanted to test what Emperor Kang Qian knew, and he said slowly: "It's a pity that no one has ascended in this world for thousands of years. No one can become a fairy. "

After listening to Emperor Kanggan, he was not surprised, and said lightly: "That's because you can't make it, but I'm different. What's more, longevity is good, but living to suffer is suffering. My longevity is forever rich."

Xie Changming thought a lot about things related to the coming and the abyss, but he didn't mention it to anyone.

Cheng Zhi is not the former Cheng Zhiye, he was descended, and the soul in the body does not know what it is.When Cheng Zhiye was still a big brother of Fuhemen, Yu Xiuxian was already a rare genius. At that time, everyone thought that if anyone in this generation could rise to the top, it would be Cheng Zhi.But after being descended, his cultivation level never improved, and he became the Lord of Yan City, doing things that cannot be seen.

Xie Changming thought he couldn't do it by taking out the soul like this and replacing it with another person's soul intact.

And the abyss is even stranger.

Those who are thrown into the pool of blood are not only their bodies, but their souls are also integrated into it, turning into blood, flowing into the abyss, and condensing into hungry ghosts with no humanity but strange shapes. Their only desire is to devour living flesh and blood.

At the beginning, Xie Changming thought that the goal was to let the abyss riot and release the hungry ghosts who made trouble.But when he went to the First Demon Heaven to rescue the little Changming Bird, he saw Diyan Luo, and his thoughts changed.After a person dies, the body stays in the world, and the soul will be guided to Qishan Mountain only by the condolences of relatives and friends. When crossing Qishan Mountain, the soul climbing up will become lighter and lighter. I don't remember anything, relying on my instinct to go down the mountain and go to the other side of the mountain, that is reincarnation and a new life.But this is inconsistent with the instructions of the way of heaven to "distinguish good from evil, distinguish right from wrong, and obtain cause and effect for oneself".So Tiandao created the Earth Yama who can see the fate of all things in the world. He used the underworld to temporarily accommodate the soul, and let Earth Yama distinguish the actions of the dead one by one.But it didn't work out.Di Yanluo did not become a divine beast, the underworld was abandoned and turned into a demon world, and gradually there were demons.The Heavenly Dao created the Eternal Bright Bird again, but it did not give as much as before. The Earth Yama can be called a demigod, but the Heavenly Dao only endowed the divine bird with a unique and noble status to communicate with the heavens.

According to the previous inference, the abyss is the cause, in order to create hungry ghosts, it is necessary to create killing in the world.But if the abyss is just the result of doing that, to accommodate those souls who cannot re-enter reincarnation...

The normal cycle of reincarnation is disrupted, and there will only be fewer and fewer creatures in the world. Why do you want to do this?

But no matter whether it is descending or abyss, no one in the world can do this.If it is beyond human power, no matter how unbelievable it is, there is only one possibility.

Heaven.

Even ordinary people can't think of this idea, they will be noticed immediately, especially those who cultivate immortals.

There are still too many things that I don't understand.For example, if it is really the way of heaven, why should Yama keep it? It knows the truth.

Seeing that Xie Changming didn't respond and was ignored by Emperor Kang Qian, he was eager to explain to him: "At the beginning, I really wanted to cultivate immortality, but as I get older, I have to endure hardships to cultivate immortality. It doesn't seem that good. Even if I succeed, At the level of Cheng Zhiye, he can't compare to me. Since it is difficult to achieve immortality overnight, then I will stop practicing and ask for someone else."

Xie Changming finally became interested. He slowly drew out the knife and asked casually, "What did you ask for?"

Emperor Kang Qian was a little proud: "I no longer rely on the continuation of blood, nor do I need to ascend to Taoism, I want to be the eternal emperor of the world."

Before he finished speaking, he picked up the puppy's fur. The puppy was forced to raise its head, and barked twice pitifully, like a child's whimper. The puppy just looked at Chen Xun and shed tears.

Emperor Kang Qian smiled happily: "Teacher, do you still remember Xiao Man? I remember that you wrote a sacrificial letter to Xiao Man at that time."

Emperor Kangqian had three sons and two daughters. The eldest son was a prince, and the youngest son was weak and belonged to a palace girl. Emperor Kangqian didn't care, so he only gave him a nickname, Xiaoman.The prince is the elder brother, he loves the younger brother very much, and feels that Xiao Man is not cared for, so he entrusts Chen Xun to enlighten him.Chen Xun is busy with government affairs and has several jobs, so he has no time to teach children. He can only choose a few books for the little prince to read when they meet each other during the holidays.On New Year's Eve three years ago, the eunuch next to the little prince, Xiao Mantu, asked Chen Xun if he was not free, and he couldn't understand his books, so he wanted to ask him for advice.In fact, the child missed him and found an excuse.Chen Xun had no time to spare, so he said that he would study with him after the Lantern Festival.As a result, the banquet in the middle of the night on New Year's Eve ended, and the palace was in a mess. It was said that the nanny hadn't been watching for a while, and the little prince drowned in the pond in the imperial garden.A small person, swollen by the water, is still so light to hold.Chen Xun had no wife and no children, and was alone. The prince was already ten years old when he was studying with him. He was born with a cold face and a serious personality. Except for Xiaoman, no other children wanted to get close to him.Chen Xun really regretted it, and suffered a serious illness afterwards.

Chen Xun has already understood that for a person like Emperor Kang Qian, what he seeks is eternal life and wealth, and reincarnating as an emperor with his memory is also beneficial to the way of heaven behind the scenes. world.But, just like he can't see that people become immortals, he doesn't think that becoming immortals is real.

Xie Changming lowered his head and looked at the trembling little dog. He had seen many villains, but people like the one in front of him were rare. He asked, "So, you have to see with your own eyes that people can really reincarnate with memories before you believe it." .”

Emperor Kang Qian threw Xiao Man away in disgust. Xiao Man's body is now a very small dog, falling to the ground seems to be in extreme pain, and he can't even try to curl up.

Chen Xun was trembling all over, the words he could barely speak, he rushed forward, trying to catch Xiao Man, but was blocked by invisible things.

Emperor Kanggan looked at them condescendingly: "It's not bad for other people. When I killed people, this little thing hid behind the curtain and watched. When I walked over, he said tremblingly, 'Father, you can't kill people. No', I asked him 'who told you', and he said 'the prince's brother's Taifu said that water can carry a boat, and it can also overturn it, the father wants to be a good emperor', stupid and naive, I let him replace someone else."

As long as there is a way, even if he pinches with his hands, bites with his teeth, or hits him with his forehead, Chen Xun really wants to kill him.

Emperor Kang Qian liked to see him helpless, and continued: "He was reincarnated as a puppy, and he was still so stupid. When he saw me, he was terrified, so I pulled out his teeth and cut off his nails. Such a small dog A dog, even if it is kept by your side every day, what can he do. Didn’t the Tai Tuo hear the barking of a puppy several times in my study? Maybe Xiaoman is secretly calling you.”

Where did Chen Xun remember clearly? He thought desperately, trying desperately to hug Xiaoman.

The cold blade split through the invisible barrier in an instant, the tip of the knife moved forward, smashed the jade pendant, and landed on Kang Qiandi's neck.He has been protected by this treasure for more than [-] years, and he is invincible, even Cheng Zhi can't do anything about him. At this time, he suddenly lost his barrier, trembling from the ice, and there was endless panic.

Xie Changming leaned over to look at him, and said lightly, "Enough."

There was a lot of nonsense just now, one is to ensure that the first blow is sure to hit, and the other is to check whether there is any evidence in the room.

People like Kang Qiandi don't trust anyone.He is seeking skin from a tiger, and there is no chance of repenting, but he wants to exchange his life for a reward, so he can't just say nothing. Over the past 20 years, the number of lives sacrificed every month has been recorded in the account book one by one.

That's not enough.

Xie Changming asked: "How do you contact Cheng Zhi? How much should be added to your account when the refugees enter the city today?"

Emperor Kang Qian didn't react for a moment, he had become a prisoner, he just looked at Xie Changming absently, as if he had encountered something terrible, although compared with what he had done, it was less than one ten-thousandth.

Xie Changming didn't bother to say much, the point of the knife pointed upwards, piercing Kang Qiandi's eye, blood splashed on his chin, Kang Qiandi howled loudly in pain.Xiao Man in Chen Xun's arms was terrified, and his ears were covered.

Xie Changming wiped the blood casually, and no longer looked at the wind and the moon, stayed out of the matter, only slowly drew out the knife, and said softly: "I promised my Taoist companion that I would not kill ordinary people easily. But I will not tell him about you. Listen, for fear of dirtying his ears."

Xie Changming was not a good person without blood.
