The peace between the two was finally disrupted by two evil spirits.

The sun in the sky became dim and cool, and ghosts as black as ink surrounded Daji from the ground, quietly, like a poisonous snake, about to roll up along Daji's ankles.

It didn't hurt, but it felt like a deep chill had penetrated into the flesh and blood, which made her shiver, and belatedly remembered why she ran out.

Daji pushed away the dazed young man who was hugging her, raised her head and grabbed a handful of prickly ash fruit, gathered her spiritual power and hit the evil spirit at her feet.

Zanthoxylum bungeanum originally has the function of exorcising evil spirits, and the millennium Zanthoxylum bungeanum tree possesses the five elements. It is like a refined magic weapon, which can naturally carry mana.It is equivalent to raising Daji's attack power from one to ten.

The two ghosts trembled from the beating, like a pitch-black boa constrictor biting Yu Chen on the side again.

Yu Chen, who was awakened by Daji's movement, also saw the ghost that had just been forced away from Daji's ankle by that bit of spiritual light.The young man's eyes sharpened, he held a branch in his hand, and picked out the ghosts on the ground into two with the momentum of fishing for the moon from the bottom of the water.

However, this boa constrictor-like ghost was originally two evil spirits gathered together.Finding that Daji and Yuchen are not easy to mess with, they took advantage of this blow to separate and escape.

Daji blocked the road on the left and called Yuchen, "Don't let it get away!"

Yuchen dislikes being restrained and ordered the most.But when he heard Daji's words, he was inexplicably excited.It seemed that it was a special pleasure for him to be asked for help by her.

He replied confidently,

"Don't worry, you can't run away."

After finishing speaking, he took out a small carved wooden array disk from his sleeve.First pick a bunch of prickly ash fruit and throw it over like Daji did, and then throw out the formation plate.

The small array plate and the prickly ash fruit collide, exuding a star-like light.Evenly masks ghosting.

The ghost shadow was trapped in the formation and couldn't move, screaming shrilly.

On Daji's side, he controlled another evil spirit with his spiritual force cable, and turned his head to look over.

I saw the young man stab the branch in his hand into the soil, and carelessly pushed aside the luxuriant branches and leaves of the pepper tree above his head.

The sun shone in, and the evil spirit howled, but because the branches couldn't escape, the dark shadow became lighter and lighter.

Yu Chen sighed, "If my sword is still there, why is it so troublesome?"

Daji,"……"

Even without a sword, you are brutal.

After all, these two evil spirits belong to the underworld, and there are still tens of thousands of years of criminal law to be endured, and it is cheaper for them to let them fly out of their wits.

So Daji went to collect the half-dead evil spirit, and Fang thanked Yuchen.

"Thank you, fellow Taoist."

Yuchen raised his eyebrows,

"Just now you called me third brother."

Daji's expression remained unchanged,

"I was in a hurry just now because I didn't see clearly, and I accidentally recognized the wrong person."

It's impossible to admit it by yourself, or you have to wait until the end of the Heavenly Tribulation to think about it and expose it.

Yuchen tilted his head and squinted at Daji.After staring for a moment, he hummed softly,

"You lied to me."

The three words are very firm.

He has a beastly instinct at times like this.

Daji was as calm as possible, and asked him with a smile, "Could it be that Fellow Daoist has seen me in the past?"

She knew he must not know him.The matter of losing the horse can be delayed for a while.

The young man pursed his lips, looking a little aggrieved, and muttered softly,

"You are bullying me and I don't remember anything..."

Seeing him, Daji's tense face softened unconsciously, and she couldn't help but want to laugh.comforted him,

"If you don't remember, you don't remember. If you forget the past, you are still you."

no change.

Yuchen's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and he felt that the girl in front of him was indeed his confidant, and what she said coincided with his ideals.

Then he clapped his hands and laughed,

"Yes! I thought so too. It's just amnesia. If you think about it, I'm still me!"

The girl looked at him with a smile, her brows were soft, and the warm sunlight shone on her face, which was gentle, tolerant, and beautiful.

He met her gaze, feeling that a corner of his heart was also illuminated by the sun, soft and quiet.

"My name is Yuchen. What's your name?"

Daji pursed her lips, looked away, and did not answer.

"……I should be going."

"Wait--"

He couldn't stop her.Before the words were finished, the girl in front of her disappeared into the soil.

Not even the name.

This time there was no need to lure the evil spirit with her body, Daji quickly returned to the car with the earth escape.

Thinking of the brief meeting with Yuchen just now, she also felt a little sad.

It's not that she didn't trust Yuchen and deliberately concealed it from him, it's just that there were too many things involved behind them, and she didn't want to make troubles until she completely controlled the tunnel and sanctified it.

It is better not to participate in Tongtian's calamity.

Not long after, Daji arrived at the sacrificial place in the countryside.

The beginning of autumn is less than a month away, and preparations for the sacrifice in a month's time have already begun.

In the sacrificial place, Daji saw Shang's great witch Lu.

It was a skinny old man with a black bird feather hat on his head, and his eye sockets were deeply sunken.

Daji felt the blood of the witch clan in him.

Hearing that he has the ability to control water and rainfall, Di Xin liked him very much.It is probably from the lineage of the ancestor Wu Xuanming.

Probably because he also has some feelings for Daji's witch blood, the seemingly stern and cold-looking Lu's attitude towards Daji can be called amicable.

Not only took the initiative to show her around, but also told her many things that priests should pay attention to.

"...The most important thing is the sacrifice."

Walking to a row of deep pits surrounded by thorns, the big witch pointed to the hundreds of people in the pit with listless expressions, and introduced,

"They are all selected by me for this sacrifice. Besides these slaves, there are eighteen other nobles who will be sacrificed. Your empress should choose the candidates from the list."

Followed by the big witch Lu's witch attendant, he handed over a tray full of bamboo slips in due course.

Daji took a bamboo slip and opened it, on which were engraved the clan names and ages of several minor nobles.

She closed the bamboo slips, and turned her eyes to the pit again.

These slaves were tanned, disheveled, and skinny like skeletons covered in human skin.They were dusty and numb.Only a few slave boys who were still young looked up at Daji.Across the pit and thorns, the slave's withered lips opened and closed silently, as if he wanted to beg for something, but in the end he said nothing.

A slave is no longer considered a human being, let alone a human sacrifice waiting to die?Although the slave boy was young, he had already lost hope of life.

Daji ordered,

"Give them some water."

The sorcerers ordered the unselected slaves on the ground to pass on the pottery urns filled with water.The people and animals in the pit knelt down to thank this small favor. They were devout and fearful, as if they had received a great gift.

"Sacrifices must use human sacrifices?"

Leaving the pit, Daji suddenly spoke.

Lu frowned, as if he had insight into Daji's thoughts, stared at Daji with those gray eyes, and spoke solemnly as if he was reading a sacrificial oration.

"It is their destiny and their honor."

Daji was silent for a moment upon hearing the words, then turned and left.Just leave one sentence,

"When it's done, it's called destiny."

Before the rise of the human race, the lich was the destiny of the prehistoric.When the lich is defeated, the human race will become the destiny.

When the Houtu has not turned into reincarnation, all the dead souls have no afterlife, and can only die gradually by themselves.post-soil reincarnation

Most people say that this is the general trend of the way of heaven, but Daji thinks that 'it will be auspicious if it is governed, and it will be bad if it is disordered'.Liches were destroyed because of themselves, and reincarnation was built on Houtu's benevolence.Tiandao doesn't have that much ability.

As it happens, she now has the ability to change.

On the return journey, Daji looked back at the direction of the pit, as if thinking of something, said to the pipa beside her,

"I remember that Di Xin's father is Di Yi, he hasn't been reincarnated yet, right?"

Pipa didn't react for a while, she was blank and silent, "..."

She is just a little fairy, how could she know about the underworld.

Daji simply didn't ask Pipa to answer, she closed her eyes slowly, her face was calm, as if exuding divine brilliance.said to himself,

"Dead souls cannot return to life, but there are always descendants. Since Di Yi has not yet been reincarnated, let him go to Di Xin to have a good talk about what is really needed to sacrifice ancestors..."

As for the fact that Li Qiu is actually offering sacrifices to the Emperor of Heaven—just think of her as helping Haotian to accumulate virtue.

Pipa shuddered when she heard Daji talking to herself, thinking that Di Xin might be in trouble.
