The villain is my brother

After Qi He and Shen Yu left, only Shen Sheng was left in the palace, and he felt a little lonely for a while.

In the bedroom, Shen Sheng was still worrying about where Shen Yu would go, and suddenly wanted to sense something, he hurried into the secret room, there was a clear spring inlaid with the same stone that Shen Yebai saw in the private room that day .

Ripples appeared on the water curtain, and Shen Mo, who closed his eyes and rested his mind, appeared inside.

"Old Ancestor." Shen Sheng saluted first, then asked suspiciously, "Do you have any orders to pass on to General Qi?"

"Do not."

Shen Mo slowly opened his eyes: "I heard that Shen Yu is missing?"

Shen Sheng felt that there was something in his words, and immediately said anxiously: "Xiaoyu just can't bear to leave Emperor Yan's bones outside, there is no other meaning, this junior will find him as soon as possible, you..."

"You seem to be very afraid of me." Shen Mo interrupted him lightly.

"No, I..."

"I don't need flattery, I have also sat in that position, and I can tell the truth from the lie."

Shen Sheng was speechless, and admitted with a wry smile: "It's... the junior... I'm a little scared."

I won't mention the age difference between him and Shen Mo. After he managed to stabilize the southern country, he received all kinds of orders from Shen Mo that he could not refuse, and even took the initiative to send troops to Xizhou... He knew that Shen Mo's request was great, so he was even more afraid. Because if it is not done well, it will be another four-continent war.

But the South could not stand the Second World War.

"I know what you are worried about." Shen Mo Youyou said, "Father also entrusted Nanguo to me, but there are some things I must do, otherwise Nanguo will be really harmed."

Shen Sheng was silent, he still didn't understand, but as a grasshopper on his body, he had no choice but to trust Shen Mo.

Shen Mo knew that now was not the time to explain, so he changed the subject: "If Shen Yu wants to find Shen Yan's body, let him find it, and I will let Zuo Shu help him."

Shen Sheng knew Zuo Shu's strength, and with her, Shen Yu's safety would be guaranteed, which gave Shen Sheng a lot of peace of mind.

"Thank you for your love, Patriarch." Shen Sheng said gratefully.

"Okay, don't talk about these scenes." Shen Mo frowned, remembering his purpose of contacting Shen Sheng this time.

He pondered for a moment and said, "Last time I asked you to check Qin Moyu's life experience...Have you checked it out?"

"Check it out."

Shen Sheng nodded: "Although it has been so long, the local people still have some impressions of the old Taoist priest, and they all praise him for his kindness. If he picked up that child, he should raise him. But there is one strange thing..."

"what's up?"

"It is said that the old Taoist priest was seriously ill at that time, and he was looking for someone to entrust the child to. He had already agreed on a family, but when they went to pick up the child, the old Taoist priest suddenly turned red, and the child did not follow them. Go back. And since that day, the old Taoist's temperament has changed drastically, and the friends he made in the past are not very close, as if he was taken away..."

But this is obviously unreasonable. Who would take away an old and poor Taoist priest?

"...I see, a big change in temperament is not important, as long as he is sure that he is that child." After Shen Mo confirmed what he wanted to know, he fell into memories.

The woman in the water-blue long velvet skirt handed over the child to the father, but by mistake, it was a step short.

He thought about it for a while, and finally sighed resignedly: "Forget it...we owe him after all...you send someone to pick up someone from me later."

"Yes." Shen Sheng agreed on the surface, but he was surprised in his heart. He was always the only one in Shen Mo's cave, and the person he was asked to pick up last time was Shen Yebai. Who will it be this time?

"He was seriously injured. You need to prepare things. You don't want to restore it to the original state. You just need to save one life. But remember to keep his identity secret and not spread it to the outside world."

"Yes."

Not asking, not curious, not questioning, this is Shen Sheng's attitude towards Shen Mo.

Some things are better not to ask.

……

In the land of the abyss, there is muddy blood soil on the outside, but there is endless yellow sand when walking inside, and the further you go inside, the bigger the wind and sand will be, and the windy sand rolled up behind makes it impossible to see the road, let alone Yu Huo floating in the sandstorm, it can be said that every step is on the tip of the knife.

Qin Moyu was not afraid of Yuhuo, but the wind and sand actually blocked their progress.

Qin Moyu was next to Shen Yebai, and the strong wind blew the robe on his body, because the spiritual energy in the abyss would attract Yuhuo. Although there is red lotus karmic fire, Yuhuo is not afraid of Yuhuo, but the aura will be consumed. Quick, after careful consideration, the two of them still didn't use aura as a shield.

"Yebai—this is not the way to go—"

In order to prevent the wind and sand from getting into their noses, both of them covered half of their faces with face towels, no matter how loud Qin Moyu yelled, it was muffled.

"This way—"

After many observations, Shen Yebai found that these sandstorms looked chaotic, but actually swept in one direction regularly, so he pulled Qin Moyu to the left.

Qin Moyu obviously felt the wind and sand here was bigger at the beginning of walking, and the feeling of sand hitting his face was very uncomfortable, but he believed that Shen Yebai would not be stupid to lead him on a difficult road.

Sure enough, after getting through the gust of wind and sand and walking forward, the wind and sand became much smaller, and it was no longer as suffocating as before, and it was within the acceptable range of people, but at the same time, Yuhuo also increased.

"Where are we now?" Qin Moyu looked at the sand flying all over the sky and asked with a frown.

"It should be in the center." Shen Yebai brushed off the sand on Qin Moyu's face, saw the red marks left by the sand on his face, and regretted agreeing to take the road of the abyss.

Qin Moyu nodded, he looked around, there were a lot of Yuhuo here, like bamboo shoots springing up from the ground in clusters.

"Let's take a rest here." Although Qin Moyu is eager for revenge, he also knows how to measure it. The abyss is dangerous, and he doesn't know how long it will take to get out. If he can rest, he must hurry up and rest.

"Okay." Shen Yebai naturally had no objection.

Because the environment in the abyss gets worse the further you go in, people can't distinguish day from night, so he doesn't know that this is the first few days after entering the abyss, but Qin Moyu, who has not experienced such a harsh environment and trekking, is the naked eye. Visible exhaustion.

Qin Moyu then circled a circle with the red lotus fire to prevent Youyu fire from floating into the two, and then seized the time to take the pill.

It stands to reason that no matter where in this world there will be aura, it's just that there is more or less aura, but the strange thing is that the aura in the abyss is so weak that there is almost no aura, which is extremely abnormal.

Therefore, Qin Moyu, who was unable to replenish his aura from the outside world, could only choose to take pills. Fortunately, he knew how to make alchemy, and the pills in the storage bag could be consumed for a long time.

Shen Yebai was used to traveling around four continents before. Although it was the first time he had crossed the abyss, he adapted well to the harsh environment, so he still had time to look around when Qin Moyu was resting.

From Shen Mo's unclear words, Shen Yebai guessed that the Four Continents War must have something to do with Shen Mo's enemy, but Shen Mo never told Shen Yebai who the enemy was, this time it is rare to come to the center of the abyss, maybe it is an opportunity , can use this to know who is the enemy that Shen Mo fears.

Probably because he never thought that someone could overcome many dangers and come to the center of the abyss, Shen Yebai really found out that something was wrong.

He found that although Yuhuo seemed to emerge from the ground for no reason, Shen Yebai only emerged from several fixed points after he sensed streaks of spiritual energy rushing into the ground in the wind and sand.

"Mo Yu, can you use the Red Lotus Karma Fire to clear that piece of Yu Huo?" Shen Yebai asked, pointing in one direction.

"Okay." Qin Moyu didn't know why, but he still drove Honglian Yehuo over, and also found something wrong.

The yuhuo floating in the air would melt immediately when it touched the karmic fire of the red lotus, but the yuhuo was very tenacious. It took Qin Moyu a little effort to eliminate the yuhuo.

After the Yuhuo was melted by the Red Lotus Karmic Fire, the sand on it disappeared, and a white bone was slowly exposed.

This bone is different from the ones I saw before. The palm-sized bone is crystal clear, revealing holiness, but there are black, tiny characters on the bone like sesame seeds, which is extremely weird.

Shen Yebai looked at the skeleton, and felt that these characters were familiar, as if he had seen them somewhere.

Before he could remember, he heard Qin Moyu exclaim.

"This is... formation?!"

Shen Yebai turned his head abruptly. It turned out that after the skeleton appeared, Qin Moyu used the red lotus karmic fire to touch the surrounding area in a small area. Never expected.

I saw that within ten meters radiating outward from Qin Moyu as the center, countless interlocking small formations were exposed. The intersection of the small formations was the skeleton. Judging from the trend of the small formations extending outward, what they saw probably Just the tip of the iceberg.

Shen Yebai suddenly remembered where he had seen the characters on the bones, his heart was beating like a drum, he knelt down and put his palm on those small formations, and at the same time cut the back of his hand with the blade.

Scarlet blood immediately oozed from the wound, dripping down the back of the hand, and finally landed on the formation.

"Yebai, what are you doing?" Qin Moyu asked puzzled.

"Shh."

Shen Yebai shook his head, pointed to his bleeding hand and said, "Look."

Qin Moyu looked down at the blood oozing from Shen Yebai's wound - he saw that the blood fell on the formation and was swallowed by the formation in an instant, emitting a glistening light, and a cluster of clouds gathered on the bones after a while At the same time, the sand continued to gather, covering the formation and the bones.

"This is..." Qin Moyu stared blankly at this scene, and lost his voice in surprise.

"This is the Spirit Gathering Formation. It was originally used to gather spiritual energy for cultivation—but obviously, someone modified it, and now it's not just about absorbing spiritual energy."

Shen Yebai suppressed the astonishment in his heart, and slowly exhaled a foul breath: "It is still sucking human flesh and blood."

"The Four Continents War back then was indeed deliberately provoked by someone."

"The land of the abyss has been a conspiracy set up by the arrayers from the very beginning, absorbing the flesh and blood of thousands of people with formations."

People in this world will have spirit energy in their bodies from birth, the higher the level of cultivation, the higher the spirit energy contained in the flesh and blood, but everyone hates cultivation with flesh and blood, and whenever such people appear, they will be spurned and hunted down , and with the use of flesh and blood to practice, one often loses one's sanity and falls into madness, so this kind of cultivation method will soon decline and disappear, and such a huge formation is unheard of.

If this formation is for cultivation, then an ordinary poultry can be piled up in the tribulation stage, but after the Four Continents War there were no monks in the tribulation stage at all, so where did the spiritual energy refined from flesh and blood go?

The people who set up the formation, what exactly are they going to do?

Shen Yebai felt a chill down his spine for no reason.
