When the devil

What happened during the time when the barrier was blocked, no one could explain clearly in the end.

The attendants of the Taili Academy searched Zongyuan Mountain for five days and five nights, not to mention Bai Lie, even the Snow Wolf Army who was involved in the barrier at the beginning disappeared completely as if they had disappeared out of thin air.Xia Zhou even searched around Zongyuan Mountain, but still found nothing.

Another day later, Xia Zhou found the missing Snow Wolf Army by the river outside Beishan. Their corpses were all densely packed in the same area, surrounded by chaotic demonic power. Bones can only be identified by clothing.

Yu Wanfeng wrote what happened in the booklet and sent them back to Yudu quickly. Afterwards, the mausoleum of Zongyuan Mountain was burned down.

Anxiety spread silently.

It was late at night when I returned to Yudu, and I was hungry and had no time to rest after running around all the way.

The area around Prince You's Mansion was very deserted. In the snowy day, only Lao Li was waiting at the door with a lamp in his hand.

Before Wei Ling got off the carriage, he looked at Lao Li from a distance. This man was hunched, his hair was tied tightly, his old face was hidden in the shadows, and his expression could not be seen clearly from Wei Ling's direction.

Gu Yuan was exhausted to the extreme, and just now she was nagging in the carriage that she must have a good sleep when she returned home.Lao Li walked behind and said that the house had cooked hot porridge, which would be delivered later.

Wei Ling was hungry and cold, and after going back to take a bath, he put on his outer robe again, and drank porridge in the room where the stove was lit. Xia Zhou went over to him and saw him staring at the stove in a daze, so he guessed that he had something on his mind.

"Did the dog prince make things difficult for you during the few days I was busy?" Xia Zhou touched Wei Ling's waist and rested his chin on his shoulder. After taking a bath, he smelled very good, like sweet-scented osmanthus in the garden The sweet fragrance that falls in the warm pool.

"No." Wei Ling was tickled by Xia Zhou, and tilted her head slightly.

"It's not the best, I think he is sneaky and full of bad thoughts." Xia Zhou kissed Wei Ling's neck: "Don't be entangled by him."

"Actually, he used to...do everything by himself." Wei Ling held the porridge in his hand, thoughtful: "Brother always said that we should be like a family in the future, and no one can be left behind. After a long time, Xuan Cheng is slow." Slowly open your heart to us, and before you know it, you will become more and more clingy."

Xia Zhou put his face next to Wei Ling and didn't move: "I'm clingy too."

Wei Ling smiled softly, and turned to look at Xia Zhou.As soon as he moved, Xia Zhou hugged him even tighter, his warm lips fell on Wei Ling's cheek, kissing him again and again.

He warmed up Wei Ling's kiss, and he had other thoughts in his mind. He was about to get up when he felt Wei Ling's arms hooked up.

"Not enough?" Xia Zhou pinched his face.

"Not enough." Wei Ling blinked and said softly, "But I'm so tired and want to sleep."

After he finished speaking, Xia Zhou kissed his lips. He rubbed against Xia Zhou's wet tongue, but Xia Zhou rubbed and bit him.

"A Ling, stay with me again." Xia Zhou loosened his lips, pressed his forehead against Wei Ling, and looked deeply into his eyes: "It's rare to be quiet, it's a pity to sleep."

It hasn't been a day or two since the two got tired of being together. Today, for some reason, Xia Zhou speaks softly, and his eyes are more affectionate than usual.Wei Ling looked back at him, a little dazed. In his heart, Xia Zhou had always been an evil monster that disturbed his mind, but he didn't know when it started. He thought he would never understand a monster, but miraculously He found that in this world, only Xia Zhou is the person he can understand best.

"What's wrong?" Wei Ling turned over and stuffed herself into Xia Zhou's arms.

Xia Zhou froze for a moment, as if thinking of something, he smiled and changed his words: "It's nothing, I just want to hug you."

"Isn't this being held by you?"

"Well, I want to keep hugging." After saying this, he squeezed Wei Ling tightly with his arms: "Just sleep like this."

"Uncomfortable."

"But I can't bear to let you go."

"…what ever."

Wei Ling was really tired. After answering this sentence, she closed her eyes tiredly.

There is aromatherapy in this room, and the smell is very light, which makes people feel inexplicably relaxed.Wei Ling has been living here during the time he came to Yudu, but he seldom bothered to think about the fragrance. When he was drowsy, Wei Ling suddenly felt that the fragrance was a bit familiar. He thought of sitting with Gu Xiao that day. Long Nian, thinking of the smell Yue Erzhen lit in the incense burner, he was startled suddenly, and remembered the smell in his heart in a daze.

Xia Zhou carried Wei Ling to the couch, and left a kiss on his forehead.

It was a bit cold at night, and frost formed in the corner of the window.

His fingertips gently stroked along the outline of Wei Ling, and a lock of hair was picked up by his little finger, and as he let go, it slid down to the side of Wei Ling's face.

The wind was shaking the candles in the room.

The long night is coming to an end.

There was a change outside the city of Yudu.

To be precise, there seemed to be shouts coming from outside the Snow Wolf Barracks in the early hours of the morning. The patrolling people went over to look, but saw nothing unusual, and thought it was the wind blowing violently, causing auditory hallucinations.

The military camp is located close to the commercial road of Yudu, and people who go to the city to do business often rush on the road before dawn.In the past few years, Yu had strict control over vendors, and if he didn't catch his eye, he would be stopped outside the city of Yudu.It's a pity that business has to be done and life is not easy. This road extends all the way down, and a small market is unconsciously formed at the junction of the river mouth. Most of them are businessmen who cannot enter the city, but the prices are relatively cheaper than in the city.

Officers and soldiers patrolling at night sometimes secretly go to the small wine stalls next to the market to drink.

But in the past few days, the army escorted the emperor to the ancestral mausoleum. The officers and soldiers seemed to be relaxed, and the communication was much more lax than before. Some people were drunk and vomited on the side of the road. They patted him soberly and told him to go back quickly. If the Snow Wolf Army bumps into him, it will inevitably make people laugh at the end.

The man didn't feel comfortable vomiting, and was choked with urination. He threw a few vague words to the fellow officers and soldiers, stumbled, and went into the woods. There is a shadow.

At that time, he met a pervert, and people would watch how he urinated, and he was yelling to take his anger out on that person, but unexpectedly, the other person was so fast that he slapped his head with a palm, and slammed into the branch next to him.

This was not light, he was dumbfounded when he bumped into someone, he fell to the ground, the black shadow did not let him go, pressed up from above, opened his mouth, his teeth touched his face, and he could still hear the ferocious breath coming from his throat Voice.The drunk officers and soldiers were so frightened that they lost their souls and struggled hard, but the people above were unmoved. He screamed for help, but no one came because of his hoarse voice.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for him to hear footsteps, stepping on the branches, and walked to his side.The officer and soldier raised his head, thinking that the savior had come, but unexpectedly, the other party raised the knife and dropped it, and with a click, the officer and soldier's head and body were separated.

There was no light at night, and the moon was hidden behind the clouds, unable to see through.

Someone lit a fire and put it into the oil lantern. The figure lying on the corpse of the officer and soldier was startled, and suddenly got up, took two steps back and hit the tree behind him.The fire light scattered his appearance, although his hair was a little messy, but it couldn't hide his handsome appearance. There was blood on his forehead, tooth marks on the corners of his lips, his breathing was bigger than usual, and his eyes turned down from time to time, staring at the dead The officers and soldiers were in a daze.

"General Bai, it's me, I'm Shen Feihuan."

There is a smell of blood around, not nearby, as if slowly lingering from a distance.

The comer spoke softly, raised his arms, and lifted the lantern even higher.

They recognized each other, but when their eyes met, they didn't speak.

Bai Lie gasped for breath, blood was oozing from his teeth, and the rusty breath made him very uncomfortable.But knowing this, he was still suffering in every possible way. In the confusion, he raised his arm. The place was bloody and bloody, soaking his clothes. He opened his mouth, turned his head without looking at anyone, and bit his arm mercilessly. go down.

"General!"

Shen Feihuan put down the lantern and hurried to Bai Lie's side.He grabbed Bai Lie's arm, and when he touched it, his hand was stained with blood.It was only after getting closer that Bai Lie was covered with black spots from his neck to his cheeks, which were traces left by monsters. Shen Feihuan knew very well that the abnormal state of Bai Lie in front of him was obviously due to the evil spirits that were eroding his will. Struggle, if you continue to delay like this, it will only get worse.

Thinking of this, Shen Feihuan took out the silver needle that he carried with him, pulled Bai Lie into his arms, twisted his fingertips, and stabbed Bai Lie's back of the neck.But Bai Lie didn't cooperate very much, he blocked Shen Feihuan's wrist with his backhand, his strength was so strong that it seemed to break his bones.

Shen Feihuan groaned in pain, and was knocked to the ground by Bai Lie. Warm blood splashed into his eyes, and he couldn't tell whether it was Bai Lie's or someone else's.Shen Feihuan didn't dare to resist too fiercely. He felt that Bai Lie came closer, and the tip of his nose touched his throat. Maybe in the next second he would be torn apart by Bai Lie like a wild beast, biting off his throat and crushing his bones.

"General, you have to... bite lightly." Shen Feihuan fell into the shadows and whispered, "Although I can't die...but, but I'm afraid of pain."

"... "

Bai Lie opened his eyes wide, and the dim light was reflected in his light-colored pupils. Those strange black lines were intertwined and messy, which made his appearance at this time particularly terrifying.

The smell of blood became more and more intense, and there seemed to be a fog in the forest, or rather, this fog was always following him, no matter how far he ran, he couldn't get around.

"...I have to go back."

His voice was hoarse, and he clenched his teeth tightly after speaking, trying to hold his breath.

"Yudu...yes, chaos..."

Shen Feihuan felt Bai Lie let go of his hand, and in just one thought, he touched the back of Bai Lie's neck and inserted the needle.

Bai Lie's pupils shrank slightly, and the murderous intent hovering in his pupils faded quickly. He seemed to have something to say, but he lost his balance as soon as he moved, and fell to the ground.

"It's just a sleeping needle, don't worry, General. I'll take you to a safe place first...after dawn..."

Shen Feihuan's voice was very soft, and Bai Lie lost consciousness before he understood it.

The smell of blood became thicker and thicker, making it hard to breathe as it got stuck in the nasal cavity.

The noisy voices outside came along with the mist, Shen Feihuan calmed his breathing, lightly moved his fingertips, and wiped out the dim light of the fire.

What is it.

He tried to adapt to the darkness, but he could only vaguely see the undulating shadows in the thick fog.

Lots of things, walking in groups.

The rustling sound stepped over the grass, and the faint blue fire light undulated, illuminating the swaying figure.

It was a corpse, either decayed or turned into a skeleton, they walked by, facing the direction of Yudu.

Like a group of neatly arranged ants, they are heading towards their nest step by step without being disturbed by the outside world.

There is a deep pool on the side of the mountain where Taili Courtyard is located. In front of the pool is a waterfall flying down. Not far to the east is the altar for offering sacrifices to heaven.

The place is lit with fire all the time, spreading along the edge of the deep pool all the way to the mountain. From a distance, it looks like a golden dragon lying in Yudu, guarding the peace that can be broken at the touch of a touch.

Dawn is approaching, and heavy snow is falling on the sky.

Xia Zhou stood in front of the deep pool, looking up at the top of the mountain illuminated by the fire. The snowflakes fell on him, but they couldn't stain his hair and the cloak that was blowing in the wind.

When the men in black appeared, they didn't make a sound. They came out of nowhere, and they didn't intend to hide their aura at all.

"I really didn't expect you to go to the appointment." Under the black hoodie, came a woman's voice.

"I've always kept my promise." Xia Zhou turned his head, and under the light of the fire, he could see clearly the straw-made face under the black hoodie, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth: "It's not like some cowards who only dare to send a substitute."

"My identity is not as free as yours." Straw has no face, no expression, her voice is a little indifferent, and even reveals an understatement of innocence: "But, since you are here, it proves that the contract between us is still valid." It's not over, is it?"

Xia Zhou said: "Your hometown has thoroughly cultivated evil ways, and you know much more about what a contract means to monsters than I do."

Taking advantage of the body of the man in black, Yue Erzhen smiled softly: "Yes, since ancient times, people who violated the contract, whether it is a human or a monster, will die in the end. But this is not the result I want to see. I say so Well, when I signed the contract with you, I really didn't have too many bad intentions, I just hoped to use your demon power to make Yudu bloody."

Xia Zhou was also unrestrained: "And then, let's continue."

"Then, I tried my best to plan all the way, until now, and finally waited until you really accepted the sacrifice I offered to you—"

The word "sacrifice" came out of Yue Erzhen's mouth again, and Xia Zhou's eyes narrowed slightly. Unfortunately, the man in black standing in front of him was just a stand-in. The changing atmosphere in just a few words.

"梼杌, I didn't expect you to be a lover, and you have to toss yourself a lot for Wei Xianzun."

"Yes." Xia Zhou admitted readily: "The Empress has imagined so many paths for herself, so it's not like she never thought of a path that can let Wei Ling go?"

The straw-braided head raised slightly: "Of course I thought about it."

Xia Zhou said, "Let's listen."

"Wei Xianzun is a dangerous game. It is best to destroy it. Keeping him will only increase the difficulty. If you could trap him in the demon realm forever, it might be the best choice for you and Wei Xianzun."

Hearing this, Xia Zhou couldn't help snorting coldly, thinking: Do you need to say it?Who on earth sent someone to Yaoyu to disturb my good affairs?The current situation is chaotic, sooner or later this account will have to be settled with you.

"With his aptitude, it is more than enough to block the evil spirits by himself. He is the biggest trouble in the whole plan. At the same time, he is also Gu Xiao..." Yue Erzhen's voice stopped abruptly. Although she couldn't see her expression, she said this matter At the time, her mood fluctuated obviously, and she even gnashed her teeth in annoyance when she mentioned the word Gu Xiao.

Xia Zhou said: "When a mortal is dead, he is dead. He will never crawl out of the underworld to seek your life."

"Oh." Yue Erzhen was noncommittal, and continued: "At the beginning when I stared at Wei Ling, I just wanted to give Gu Xiao, who worshiped him like a living Bodhisattva, a taste of despair. Later, I also figured it out. Wei Ling can not die. Because there is something else that can take his place."

Xia Zhou narrowed his eyes slightly, but did not speak.

The wind blows the snow, blowing and shaking the surrounding firelight.

Yue Erzhen seemed to be laughing, but the smile got stuck in her throat and turned into a weird snort.

"This is the underworld, the place where he will never be reborn forever." She said every single word: "Tear up everything he owns and show him, so that he can understand—there is no god in this world who can protect him. "
