When the devil

As long as Wei Ling can remember, she has been stumbling after Cheng Yingjie.

He only knew that his blood was connected with the blood of Bai Fenghuang, and he knew nothing else. He Yu once said to him, Liuli Mountain is where you belong, and you are you, and you don't need to worry about other things. Wei Ling said this sentence Keep the words in my heart, from now on no matter what others talk about his life, he will ignore it.

Wei Ling grew up in Liuli Mountain, and He Yu and Cheng Yingjie are his relatives.

It wasn't until Cheng Yingjie became an adult and qualified to participate in the Immortal Art Competition that Wei Ling realized that her eldest brother was ten years older than him.

People who practice immortality are insensitive to time, and the years fly by without leaving too many changes in their appearance. Even He Yu, who is nearly a hundred years old, is still regarded as a young talent who is not enough when he is wandering in the world .

Later, Wei Ling broke through the cultivation of the immortals, experienced the trials of the human world, and inherited the Tianyu Immortal Venerable.Later, He Yu went down the mountain and never returned. Cheng Yingjie accompanied him. He took in two apprentices and was busy with the affairs of the venerable. Cheng Yingjie was the master of all the affairs of Tianyu Hall.

In the end, the Battle of the Eastern Territory broke out, and his apprentice and the Prince of Zhao Kingdom, Gu Xuancheng, got involved. Cheng Yingjie went down the mountain with him and took care of Gu Xuancheng on his behalf, while Wei Ling stayed alone in the Eastern Territory. The two brothers said goodbye. Pass.

Until the reunion today, Cheng Yingjie has gone through many vicissitudes.People who cultivate immortals usually don't age easily, but in Wei Ling's eyes, it becomes a rare thing.

Maybe it's because he grew a beard, or maybe it's because the sharpness between his brows covered up the warmth of being a good person. Wei Ling stared at his face and looked again and again, seeing that Cheng Yingjie was a little embarrassed, clenched his right hand awkwardly, and let go. Coughing lightly beside his mouth: "A Ling, is there something on my face?"

"No." Wei Ling withdrew his gaze, and Xia Zhou next to him was looking at him suspiciously, as if he had seen something very interesting.

The three of them found a restaurant not far from Yang's Mansion, settled in a corner of the long pavilion by the lake, ordered good food and wine, and as soon as they sat down, Cheng Yingjie poured wine for Xia Zhou and Wei Ling himself, holding the glass with rough fingers Hold it high, and drink it down again.

It was late at this time, but the scenery in the courtyard of the restaurant was excellent.

Elegant along the lake, hibiscus flowers are blooming in clusters, gauze curtains are swaying in the wind, and lanterns are dragging light and shadows to flow.

With such a beautiful day, Wei Ling and Xia Zhou naturally wouldn't show their complacency, drank the fragrant wine, and finally had some interest in reminiscing about the old days.

Cheng Yingjie didn't know, so he glanced at Xia Zhou. Seeing that Xia Zhou didn't touch the chopsticks, he quickly reached out to the table full of delicacies: "You're welcome, eat whatever you want. I don't care about food here, so do you, Ling."

Wei Ling said: "If you weren't afraid of being scolded by Elder Meng, you wouldn't be eloquent when eating."

Cheng Yingjie smiled: "There are many rules on Liuli Mountain, and it's uncomfortable. After going down the mountain, I have lost my heart all these years, and I dare not think about going back." After speaking, he changed the subject, stared at Wei Ling and asked, "I heard that you I just left the customs before, and I thought you had already returned to Liuli Mountain, why are you at the foot of the mountain now, did you sneak out?"

Wei Ling said: "No, I have chosen to leave Liuli Mountain, I am just an ordinary person now."

Cheng Yingjie was taken aback: "Why, God Canglin drove you down the mountain?"

Wei Ling looked at the table full of her favorite dishes, and her heart was full of complexities: "It's me who wants to go down the mountain."

Cheng Yingjie shook his head vigorously, with regret in his eyes, but Wei Ling said, "Okay, it's a rare meeting, don't talk about these dead topics...Brother, I just asked you about it, tell me about it."

What did he ask just now?

Cheng Yingjie thought for a while: "You said the tragedy of exterminating the family?"

"Ah."

"Isn't this a dead topic?"

Just as Wei Ling picked up a piece of tofu, she couldn't help laughing when she heard Cheng Yingjie's serious questioning: "I'm the one who was confused, brother, don't blame me."

Xia Zhou saw what Wei Ling ate, and he ate what he ate, and said solemnly while eating: "I heard that many small sects outside the city were destroyed, but most of them were mobs who couldn't put themselves on the table, even if they died. People collect the corpse."

It seems that this topic can't be avoided, Cheng Yingjie sighed: "Yeah, this is the most tricky part. It seems that there is nothing in common along the way. What kind of monster do you think this is messed with? To be so innocent Different massacres."

Xia Zhou didn't raise his eyes: "The mob, isn't that what they have in common?"

The chopsticks in Cheng Yingjie's hand stopped: "What does Master Xia mean?"

Xia Zhou lowered his head to eat in the middle of his speech. Wei Ling put down his chopsticks and said instead of Xia Zhou: "These people die as soon as they die. No one cares about it. The reason why big brother cares about this is because he is worried about the dead. The resentment caused by the gathering will only attract evil spirits."

Cheng Yingjie said, "Yes."

Wei Ling said: "So the murderer must not want to cause public turmoil. If innocent people are killed indiscriminately, someone will definitely report to the yamen, but no one cares about the life and death of orphans, widows and refugees. If they have to kill, and they don't want to cause trouble, kill They are the best choice."

Cheng Yingjie was slightly startled: "Do you think it was done by humans?"

"The murderer should be a demon, but the main messenger must be a human." Wei Ling said.

Cheng Yingjie said: "Indeed, most of them were killed by demons... But some of the corpses are missing, and the remaining corpses have been devoured for their souls... There is no breath left."

Wei Ling said: "The corpses may have been gathered somewhere..."

Cheng Yingjie said: "What are you hiding for? Save it for the winter?"

Wei Ling thought for a while: "There are many demons and demon core holders lurking in Liuli City. They gathered for a certain purpose, but they didn't dare to make too much publicity in the city. I think they must go together. Looking for food outside the city... eat some people, and then save the rest."

Cheng Yingjie pressed the chopsticks on the table with a "snap". His hand was so strong that he slapped the table for a while, shaking the eggplant that Xia Zhou had just picked up.

Xia Zhou: "..."

"There's no reason for that!" Cheng Yingjie was not enough to slap his chopsticks, and he even slammed his fist on the wall behind him. If he tried hard enough, the restaurant might be demolished by him.

Wei Ling said very calmly: "Then what I'm going to say next, brother, please don't hit the table or the wall after listening to it."

Cheng Yingjie paused for a moment, realizing that it was not a good thing, and whispered unwillingly: "I will try my best, you tell me!"

"Yesterday, a demon escaped from the Yang family, swallowing the grievances of more than [-] members of the Yang family, but I don't think he has enough to eat... Pay attention to some movements recently, please be careful."

Wei Ling spoke very calmly, Cheng Yingjie had already clenched his fists, and forced himself to hold back: "Monster, what kind of demon?"

"Blood formation recruited."

"The blood array... recruited evil monsters, I'm afraid it will be very difficult." Cheng Yingjie's brows were filled with anxiety, and he raised his head after a while: "Who recruited it, A Ling, do you have a clue?"

"you."

Xia Zhou suddenly interjected.

"Ah?" Cheng Yingjie was stunned.

"Recruiting evil spirits is a forbidden technique, and it cannot be done with ordinary cultivation. I only know two people in the immortal way. If you let me guess, it can only be you if it is not Ah Ling." Xia Zhou was obviously joking, and he laughed very hard. nature.

"Really, Your Excellency." Cheng Yingjie didn't know what expression to make when he disturbed him like this: "Although there are very few people who can match Ah Ling, there are a lot of people who are better than me."

Xia Zhou: "Your Majesty Cheng is humble. You have a great reputation. I have heard about it for a long time. The demons you have punished can make a table full of Chinese people."

When Cheng Yingjie heard this, he suddenly became excited: "Governor Xia, I can't do the immortal method, but I have other ways to kill demons?"

Xia Zhou said: "Strength?"

Cheng Yingjie was embarrassed for a moment: "So you know."

Xia Zhou said: "Master Cheng's Vajra Hammer, not to mention people, even demons and ghosts are frightened when they hear about it."

Wei Ling was very surprised. Xia Da Yao, who has always been self-righteous, even flattered people sometimes, but seeing that his face was not flushed and his heart was not jumping, and there was no passion in his eyes. These words may have ulterior motives, Wei Ling immediately chose to give up thinking. He can't guess the heart of a person, so how can he talk about guessing the heart of a demon.

So the topic was diverted by Xia Zhou, and Wei Ling was forced to listen to the story of Cheng Yingjie's battle with the nine hundred and ninety-nine demon army with him for a long time.

After having fun, he drank several pots of wine, Cheng Yingjie was in high spirits, and suddenly slapped Wei Ling with his hand: "However, I have never won against my brother-in-law. Fortunately, he is my closest relative, not my enemy."

Wei Ling was slapped by him inexplicably, and almost choked on the wine. Cheng Yingjie said casually: "Master Xia, my adopted brother looks docile, like a little white rabbit, but he is rebellious and stubborn in his bones, and he is by no means easy to bully." Let me tell you, we made mistakes in the past, and when we were scolded, we relied on A Ling to charge forward, not only did not reflect on ourselves, but also made Elder Meng and Cang Lin jump in anger!"

Wei Ling pushed Cheng Yingjie's big hand away, said nothing, and lowered his head to drink.

Xia Zhou leaned on the back of the chair again: "Master Cheng, don't worry, I will cherish your brother-in-law."

Cheng Yingjie was stunned for a moment, not understanding the meaning of Xia Zhou's words. After pondering for a while, he must have said that he and Wei Ling had a good relationship. Looking at Wei Ling again, he looked calm and drinking in silence, which was a tacit consent. Cheng Yingjie laughed again. Say what you've been wanting to say but haven't said.

"There is one thing that I don't know whether to say or not. Master Xia and A Ling are really destined. The first time I heard Master Xia's real name, I felt so deeply..."

Wei Ling choked up suddenly, and suddenly put down the wine glass: "Hello!"

Cheng Yingjie said: "A Ling raised a little duck when he was a child, and he named it Xia Zhou. Unfortunately, the duck was roasted and eaten by Fengyue Tianshi. A Ling was sad and cried for half a month because of this."

Xia Zhou looked at Wei Ling with complicated eyes.

Wei Ling: "..."

Cheng Yingjie naturally couldn't understand the sudden subtle atmosphere, and continued: "I think Master Xia and A Ling will become friends, it must be destined, maybe the duckling was reincarnated hahahaha."

Wei Ling picked up the wine glass again, avoiding Xia Zhou's gaze.

Xia Zhou leaned closer, his face almost touching Wei Ling's ear: "It's a pity, if I die, you won't even have time to be happy, why would you cry for me for half a month?"

Wei Ling whispered: "If you dare to die, I dare to cry."

Xia Zhou: "A Ling, you are really ruthless."

Wei Ling: "Hehe."

Xia Zhou sat for a while and went back: "Forget it, I have deep affection for you, you think I am crazy. Alas."

Wei Ling's heart: I'm sorry for you big-headed ghost.

Cheng Yingjie kept laughing while watching, but Wei Ling didn't let him pat the table or the wall, he could only pat on his own thigh, causing the chair to sway and be in danger.

After laughing enough, Cheng Yingjie grabbed the wine glass: "Hey, I haven't been this happy for a long time. Come on, let me toast you two."

"Why don't I, I haven't heard such a shaking laughter from my elder brother for a long time, and I miss it very much." Wei Ling raised his glass: "Now that my elder brother has achieved great success, I am very happy for my elder brother."

The three of them clink their glasses and drank it all in one go.
