Sword Three: Rain Painting Scroll

A black smoke broke through the sky, and finally dissipated without leaving anything behind, and did not cause a trace of commotion.The corpses of the two old couples surnamed Xu on the ground were no longer human. Their torsos were distorted, their limbs were thin and long, their skin was black and blue, and their wide-open eyes were dark red.

A ray of light yellow soul tremblingly squeezed out from between their brows. It was their remnant soul, the only one left, the one that had not been completely demonized.This spirit is too fragile, as soon as it came out from between the eyebrows, it couldn't stand the instant dissipation of the surrounding spiritual power, leaving no scum behind.

Ever since he gained cultivation and became a monk, Mo Yu has been able to see things that ordinary people cannot see.You can see those strange things all the time. As a monk who just entered the Tao, the pressure is still a bit high.

"How could this be?" Mo Yu squatted in front of the corpses of the old couple who were no longer human, frowning tightly.

"Continuing for five or six years to steal people's souls and continue their own lives is already inhuman. 』When they are alive, they can use pills to maintain their human appearance, but once they die, they will show their current appearance. "Life-continuing pill, extending one's own life, stealing other people's souls, can one still be a human after taking such a pill?" If there is one, there are two, and if there are two, there are three. This is the greed of human nature.

"Where are you going next?" Mo Yu looked up at Mo Xi.

"Going to Sanshengshu, it happens to be able to inquire about some things along the way. 』

Mo Yu nodded, thinking that it would be good to go to the Mingjiao, and by the way, he could find out some unusual things on the way.No one has noticed such frightening things happening in Fengyu Town, and the Xu couple are really tight-fisted in their work. "Ah Xi, don't you think this is a bit strange? They have killed so many people in the past five or six years, why didn't anyone find out?"

"They prey on passers-by and the town's rogue gamblers.Let me ask, the passers-by are just passing by, so who would know that they passed through Fengyu Town and begged for water from the Xu couple?And the death of those so-called villains might be a good thing for the people in the town. ’ So after all these years, no one has discovered what the two of them have committed.

"Everything has its own destiny, and no one is qualified to control the lives of others. After finishing speaking, she turned her head to look at a dark corner in the forest of singing cicadas, where stood two people, one in white and one in black.The man in black held a chicken in his hand, and the man in white held a jar of wine.Judging by their posture, there are only two empty glasses.

After being stared at by Mo Xi, the two of them were too embarrassed to continue hiding in the corner.

The man in white was handsome, but his smile was a bit naughty.The man in black looks very cute, but he has a serious face, a bit serious and rigid.The man in white held the jar of wine and bowed to Mo Xi, saying, "Bai Wuchang, Xie Bi'an, has seen the God of Mount Tu."

The man in black also saluted Mo Xi politely, but he was holding a chicken in his hand, which looked very funny.

After Bai Wuchang finished his salute, he glanced at Mo Yu who was next to Mo Xi, his eyes flashed with obvious curiosity.However, he was still embarrassed to gossip in front of the person involved, so he grinned and said, "God is also here to investigate?"

"I'm here to investigate the matter of soul refining. 』

Bai Wuchang was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly remembered something, his expression changed slightly and he said, "Soul refining?"

"Because there are details about the Xu couple in the book of life and death, they shouldn't have lived until now. 』

Hei Wuchang replied: "Indeed, these two people should have died of illness three years ago, but for some reason, none of the ghost messengers who were supposed to be in charge of Luoyang passed the news back to the land. Check, this investigation has found several cases of people who have passed their lifespan but are still alive, and some people who have not lived their lifespan died prematurely, but their souls have not disappeared. Moreover, the ghost messenger in charge of Luoyang has disappeared three years ago As soon as this incident happened, Yan Jun was furious and ordered a thorough investigation of this matter. Everyone in the world is so busy now that they wish they could have more pairs of arms and feet."

"Life extension pill is a good thing. 』

Bai Wuchang glanced at Hei Wuchang, and his complexion gradually turned pale. "Shangshen means that these people who have reached the end of their lifespan are because of the Life-Extending Pill?"

"The continuation of life pill was originally created by Lu Qi, a Danxiu in the cultivation world. Because the material was too terrifying, it was later listed as a forbidden drug in the cultivation world. Even the soul refining array was listed as one of the top ten forbidden techniques in the cultivation world one.Now, this formation has reappeared in the human world, what do you think is going on? 』

Heiheiwuchang's expression froze, they looked at each other, cupped their hands at Mo Xi, and said, "Can we take those two corpses back?"

Mo Xi nodded.

The two hurriedly thanked, waved their sleeves, rolled up the bodies of the old couple and left in an instant, and went back to report the matter.

Mo Yu looked at Black and White Wuchang who had suddenly disappeared, and asked, "Who were those two just now?"

"The black and white of the land boundary is impermanent. 』This is also the first time Mo Xi has dealt with these two people.

Mo Yu froze for a moment, his eyes widened slightly. "This, is black and white impermanence? A ruffian face and a baby face?" I can't blame Mo Yu for being surprised, it's because Bai Wuchang's image is too ruffian, and Hei Wuchang has a baby face, which is nothing like the one described in the play. Same.

Mo Xi: "..."

Mo Yu muttered: "This image is too..." too unbelievable.

Mo Xi said lightly, "Go back to the inn." 』

Mo Yu nodded, picked up the pomegranate that had regained its kitten appearance, and the two of them left the Cicada Forest in a short time.

Back at the inn, without alarming anyone, the two of them returned to their own guest room, Tianzi No. [-] room.Xinjing heard the movement next door, so she knew that Mo Xi and Mo Yu had returned, grabbed the sparrow spirit Baicao and passed through the wall, ran to Tianzi No. [-] room, and asked with concern: "My lord, are you back? What's the matter?"

There is no light in the Tianzi No. [-] room, and the room is pitch-black, only their eyeballs can be seen.

Under the moonlight outside the window, Mo Xi walked to the chair by the window, and said lightly: "Tomorrow, you and Baicao will go back to Fenghua Valley, and Mo Yu and I will go to Sanshengshu, and get some news by the way." . 』

Xinjing nodded and said, "Yes."

Baicao flapped its wings as a response.

Mo Yu sat in front of the table, put the pomegranate on the bench, picked up the teapot and poured himself a glass of water, and said, "According to what Bai Wuchang said just now, the Xu couple should not be the only ones who know how to refine soul formations."

Mo Xi rested his chin on one hand, stared at the bright moon, and said in a calm voice, "I'm afraid it's for an experiment to grant the soul refining formation to so many mortals." 』

"experiment?"

"He did this before. Mentioning him, a cold light flashed in Mo Xi's eyes. "In order to refine the elixir that keeps his soul alive, constant experimentation is required.Humans are the best experimenters because they are greedy and can do anything for the so-called immortality. 』In all walks of life, human beings are the most deceitful, and human beings are the most difficult to deceive. "Besides, there are enough mortals. 』

The Soul Refining Formation and Life-Extending Pill created by Lu Qi back then were only for his own selfish desires, but Lu Qi didn't know that this kind of formation had actually been created thousands of years ago, and... he himself was just a puppet That's all.

Thinking about it now, Lu Qi is also a poor person.Being used in this way, I don't know it yet, and I think that the soul refining formation and life extension pill are self-created.

Xinjing sighed: "The old couple don't look like greedy people either."

Baicao rolled her eyes and said, "People's hearts are in the belly, and you know they are good people? If you dare to play such a sinister magic circle, you are not a good person in itself."

Mo Yu sneered and said, "Once a person has desires, it's the same no matter how old or young he is." He had seen through it a long time ago, and he had seen through human nature many years ago.People, hypocrisy can be so shameless that there is no limit.And people, when they are greedy, they can be greedy to the point of no limit.

Quietly lowered his head and sighed again.

Baicao jumped on Xin Jing's shoulder and said: "Don't think about it, let's go back and rest, we have to go back to the valley tomorrow."

Xinjing nodded, saluted Mo Xi, then turned around and went back to her Tianzi No. [-] room through the wall.

As soon as Xin Jing and Baicao left, only Mo Xi and Mo Yu were left in the room.Mo Xi opened his eyes, staring at the night outside the window, with no expression on his face.Mo Yu looked at her, put down the teacup in his hand, and asked, "Worried?"

Mo Xi shook his head.

Mo Yu got up, walked in front of her, and said, "Don't worry, the person behind the scenes will definitely be caught."

Mo Xi glanced at Mo Yu, raised his hand and gestured for him to sit down.

Mo Yu watched her movements and sat on another chair with the back close to the window.

Mo Xi said, "Have you thought about what you want to do in the future?" 』They had never had such a good chat like now, Mo Xi looked at this child who became more and more attached to her, and felt a certain amount of worry in her heart.It is not a good thing to be associated with a god. He is a human being, and he should stay with mortals instead of being involved in some things that have nothing to do with him.

Mo Yu said, "Not yet." He just wanted to follow Mo Xi now.

Mo Xi looked out the window and said calmly, "This day will not be peaceful. 』

Mo Yu said: "I know." Being in Jianghu, he knows a lot of news.In recent years, the dark tide in the court hall has been raging, and the forces of all parties are ready to move, and I am afraid that it will affect the forces of the rivers and lakes in the near future.No, perhaps it has already affected the forces in the world. "An Lushan wolf is ambitious, and Yang Guozhong killed Zhongliang. These two people will not deal with each other. They will start a war soon."

"When war starts, only the common people will suffer. 』

"No one can avoid this battle. I just hope that Li Longji will clear his mind and remove the wings of these two people as soon as possible, otherwise..."

"One dynasty prospers and one dynasty loses. This has been the case since ancient times. The replacement of dynasties is nothing more than following the destiny. 』Mo Xi didn't have much emotion, she felt that even if Li Tang disappeared, it would be no big deal.Before long, there will be a Zhao Song Jiangshan, a Zhu Ming Jiangshan... This is the dynasty.

"Ah Xi, have you thought about what to do in the future?" Mo Yu was rather curious about this question.

"I? 』I didn't expect Mo Yu to ask her such a question, and Mo Xi was a little surprised.

Mo Yu nodded, his eyes were especially bright in the darkness.

"Pursue the Dao. 』This is Mo Xi's never-changing dream, and it was also something she decided the moment she became a fox god.It cannot be changed, and it will not be changed until the body returns to chaos and becomes nothingness.

"Except for the avenue?"

"No. 』She has no desires and desires, and she really doesn't know what to do except the Dao.

Mo Yu looked at her and remained silent for a while without saying a word.

Mo Xi like this made him a little discouraged, pursuing the Dao?Apart from Dao Dao, Mo Xi had nothing rare.

Mo Yu, who discovered this, seemed even more frustrated.
