There are bandits in Zhongshan

A monk comes from cultivation with a mortal body. The spiritual power is contained in the dantian, which is the spiritual sea. The spiritual power circulates in the veins, and when it is filled to the breaking point, it will form a golden pill, a golden pill will form a soul, and a soul will transform into a god. At the same time, the body will be separated from the mortal flesh and bones step by step, until the condensed spiritual power exceeds the range that this world can bear, and then it will be able to break through the void and soar to the upper world.

Even for a Qi-refining cultivator whose spiritual sea has not yet formed, the spiritual power in the dantian is far greater than other parts of the body.

But there was nothing in Zhong Mingzhu's dantian.

"Why?" Changli thought she had made a mistake, and tried again in disbelief, but she still couldn't detect the existence of Linghai. Her first reaction was that Zhong Mingzhu's previous injury was still not healed, but looking at that The smiling face doesn't look like he's been hurt, and——

She soon realized that the spiritual power in Zhong Mingzhu's body was very strong, but it didn't gather in the spiritual sea like her own, but circulated throughout the whole body, stored in the blood vessels and bones.

"Devil... are you a mermaid?" She suddenly remembered the Ruoye mentioned by Zhong Mingzhu, the descendant of the god from the East China Sea, who was different from the monk in many ways, but soon hesitated, "But..."

When Zhong Mingzhu healed his wounds or changed his form, all that appeared was fire. Mermaids lived on the bottom of the sea, where water and fire mutually restrain each other. If they were mermaids, how could they be good at resisting fire.

"Of course I am not a mermaid. However, the method of cultivation is almost enough." Zhong Mingzhu smiled, stood up and looked away, a meaningful flash of eyes flashed in his eyes, "My family does not need to acquire spiritual power, the power exists in the In the blood."

"Your family?" Changli asked suspiciously, "Who are you? You are also descendants of gods. Like the mermaids, do you live in seclusion somewhere?"

After the division of the Three Realms, it is not that there are no gods or descendants of the gods left in the lower realms, but the spiritual power of the lower realms has become thinner and is no longer suitable for their lives. There are many stories about them or their descendants tens of thousands of years ago, but in the last ten thousand years, there have been many stories. It only exists in legends.Guixu lived on the seabed in the far east. It was less affected back then, and the miracles on the seabed are still there. That's why the mermaid clan has continued to this day, while most of the tribes on land died out a long time ago.

Changli didn't know much about things outside of Yunfu Mountain, and Yuren also learned from Zhong Mingzhu that the three elders never mentioned these things.She always thought that only the creatures created by God Nuwa were still living in the lower realm.

Those figures were made of blood and bones, obviously they did not belong to the creatures created by Nu Wa, so she asked again: "Are you, are you related to those people in the scroll?"

Zhong Mingzhu glanced at Changli's focused eyes, and finally his eyes fell on her eyebrows again. He sighed suddenly, and said with a preoccupied look: "I shouldn't have said these things, but if you continue to hide them, you You will definitely be suspicious." She took a step forward, half-kneeled in front of Chang Li, held her hand and said, "I can tell you, but you absolutely must not tell a third person."

"Why?"

"The mermaids only continued part of the blood of the gods, and there are countless monks who want to use their blood and bones to refine medicine. It's just because they live in places that are difficult for ordinary people to reach, so that their entire family will not be slaughtered. And I am here. If someone knows your identity, don't you want to be the target of public criticism." Zhong Mingzhu said with a smile, "Of course, if one day I endanger the Tianyi sect, you can announce it to the world."

Chang Li lowered his eyes, looked at the hand holding him, and nodded slightly.

Zhong Mingzhu took her actions into his eyes. She knew that Changli was not enough to deal with such a complicated situation at present, and a little distress appeared in her heart again. Thinking of what she was about to do, she couldn't help but shook her head with a wry smile.

But in the eyes of others, this behavior seems to be reminiscing about the bitterness of the past.

"The place where my clan lives is more isolated from the world than the Huozheng clan and even the Yu clan. It is full of chaos and there is no order at all. It is a clan, but it is just living in one place. Everyone is alone. They come and go alone, there is almost no contact with each other, and meeting each other is like meeting strangers, and they will go to war at every turn." She carefully figured out the words, telling in a vague but attractive enough way.

"What kind of place is that?" Chang Li asked, she had never heard of such a place in the world.

It sounds more like a battlefield than a place of residence.

Zhong Mingzhu thought: "I live in Luanchen Island, but I have never seen any relatives since I was born, and I learned that name after meeting the same clan by chance. I don't know if it is called this." She paused, as if thinking about it, and continued after a while, "One day, a disaster suddenly struck and the earth fell apart. I was also involved in it. When I woke up, I was already here."

"The earth is cracked?"

"Probably because the killings there were too heavy, and they were condemned by God." Zhong Mingzhu smiled casually, "As for those people you saw, they may be my ancestors, but no one has ever told me about this, and I also Can't be sure."

"Then why aren't your eyes purple now?" Chang Li said softly.

"The spiritual power here is thin, and my strength is suppressed. That's why it's like this. It will recover when I return to my homeland." Speaking of this, Zhong Mingzhu pursed his lips, and his expression suddenly became a little more proud. The reason why I dared to enter Yunfu Mountain alone is because I brought a few spiritual stones from my hometown, which can help me recover my strength. When I was in my prime, even the Great Array of Protecting the Mountain couldn’t do anything to me. In the end, it was all destroyed by you.”

At the end of the conversation, her tone sounded like she was accusing.

And the only remaining spirit stones were destroyed when protecting Changli 300 years ago, so that they are now passive everywhere. Thinking of this, her eyes suddenly became more cruel.

If I had known today, I shouldn't have shown mercy in the first place.

"Sorry..." Although Chang Li couldn't remember what happened back then, he couldn't help apologizing after hearing her say that.

Seeing the sincerity in those black eyes, the hostility accumulated in his heart suddenly dissipated, followed by a touch of guilt, Zhong Mingzhu lowered his eyes, his voice became softer, and asked: "Is there anything else you want to know?" Is it?"

She didn't confess all of what she said just now, although it wasn't a lie, but a part was deliberately omitted, but to Chang Li, it was still no different from deception.

What has been said and what is about to be said are all carefully considered rhetoric, maybe Chang Li will not feel any difference, but if it is someone else, he must feel that she has ulterior motives.

Chang Li was still thinking about what she just said, but felt that the clues that were unclear at first became more and more chaotic, and he had no time to pay attention to the gloom that flashed in those shallow eyes. Hearing her question, he simply threw away his doubts Out: "Is the Brotherhood related to Jing Xin? They look so alike."

Zhong Mingzhu's eyes showed an imperceptible ruthlessness, but he concealed it with a gentle and harmless look: "Maybe, maybe not. Red hair and deep eyes are rare in most places, but it's not uncommon. But Even if it comes from the same lineage, it is mostly accidental. As far as I know, the tribe that flourished in the northwest thousands of years ago was respected by red hair, Jing was the common surname of that tribe, and most of Jing Xin's ancestors came from there. When it was destroyed, the city was brutally massacred, but since some people can escape to Zhuoguang Mountain, it is very likely that some people also fled to other places."

Her words seem to be excuses for Tianzong, causing suspicion everywhere, but Changli is not enough to discern the deep meaning contained in it. Hearing what she said, she felt that it should be so, and gave a soft "um", Then he said: "You said... you want me to be used by you, to help you break through the boundaries and soar, how can you do it..."

She almost copied the original words. Although she tried her best to conceal it, Zhong Mingzhu still felt her sadness from the slightly trembling voice.

Pure people take it for granted that everything should be pure.

Zhong Mingzhu sighed softly. She never concealed the selfishness and greed that came from her nature. What's more, that was what she had never given up searching for for thousands of years. Facing those pure black eyes at this moment, she hesitated. I even regretted what I did back then for a moment.

If he hadn't repeatedly offended Tian Yizong at the beginning, wouldn't he be more confident now?

She does have greed, for the Cangwu sword, for the method of breaking the boundary, but up to now, Changli's safety and feelings have surpassed these.It would be great if Chang Li could help her, if not, then that's okay, she still has plenty of time and enough energy to find other ways.

If the situation is not so urgent, she is willing to spend a little time, tell the truth, tell her thoughts in detail, and give Changli enough time to think about it, but right now she can only hide her sincerity and consciously reveal it. greedy corner.

She wasn't sure how much this ulterior motive could convey, but she didn't dare to relax.

The profound art of Wulingmen has always been regarded as a dispensable decoration, but it is in the hands of Du Xuanze, and if it is someone else, even she dare not imagine how effective it will be.But she will soon know—what she has to do now is to add another handful of firewood to the fire.

"Maybe Yu Yuan already knows, but I'm not sure yet." She suppressed the impatience in her heart, and said in a particularly calm tone, "I can only guess that you are related to that woman. Not sure, but I have a way of finding out."

Changli's fingertips shrank suddenly, and she suddenly realized that what she wanted was Zhong Mingzhu's denial, but the other party was talking about "solutions" seriously, making her feel as if she was something that could be disposed of at will .

"What way..." She curled up her fingers, and the wavering became a little more violent in her calm voice.

Zhong Mingzhu smiled, as if he was finally relieved after getting the answer he wanted, and his tone became relaxed: "Well, you follow me back to the kingdom of demons first, where my strength can be restored to full strength, plus bamboo With the help of Mr. Yu Yuan, even if Yu Yuan brings her lackeys to swarm in. I will be accommodating for your little uncle. What Yu Yuan wants is you. You are fighting against each other."

Chang Li pursed his lips, and said indifferently, "How do you find out."

"Bahuangjing." Zhong Mingzhu immediately said, "It only takes time to find out the relationship between you and her."

Chang Li let out a "hmm".

Zhong Mingzhu said again: "Why don't we prepare now, and if there are no accidents, we will be able to reach the Kingdom of Demons in seven days."

"Seven days?" Chang Li frowned, "It took me more than seven days to come to Qiaoming Mountain."

"Walking is naturally slow." Zhong Mingzhu let go of her hand, as if worried that she would not understand, and explained in great detail, "The spiritual flow in Shuoyuan is not stable, so it can't support long-distance transmission. You are different, even the spiritual fault can initiate teleportation, just like when I rushed to your side that day. It’s just that it takes more spiritual power to leave Shuoyuan, and it needs the help of formations to guide me to set up the teleportation formation, and we can Leave immediately, even if Yu Yuan runs out of energy, he won't be able to catch up with us."

She spoke with great interest, as if the method of breaking the boundary was at her fingertips, but Chang Li became more and more silent, with a faint sense of sadness emerging from her always downcast black eyes.Seeing those clasped hands, Zhong Mingzhu could hardly restrain himself from wanting to hold her in his arms.

But now is not the time - she took a step back calmly, looking away, her heartstrings were so tense that it almost ached.

At this time, there was a sudden commotion outside, Zhong Mingzhu's eyes sank, and he changed into the appearance of the man before him in an instant. It is panic, as if a crisis is imminent.

"What happened?" Zhong Mingzhu said lazily.

Li Yangzheng frowned, and found that the two came out of the secret room, first bowed to Changli, and then said worriedly: "The released Huoying found a large number of monks in the vicinity, it seems to be chasing someone."

Zhong Mingzhu remained calm, but a trace of surprise flashed in his heart, and he thought to himself: Could it be that something happened in Zhuoguang Mountain?

She thought for a moment, then said to Li Yang: "No matter what their purpose is, you are not enough to match them, and staying here is not a long-term solution."

Li Yang didn't speak, the sadness on his brows was even worse, staying here is indeed not a long-term plan, but leaving here, in this vast snowfield, where can they go to settle down.

Seeing her embarrassment, Zhong Mingzhu took out some things from the storage ring, and handed them to her together with the jade token he was carrying with him, saying: "There are some talismans and magic tools for your self-defense, since you have not violated the contract, It’s just a last resort. It’s not a big problem to leave Zhuoguang Mountain for a while. It’s better to go to Nanming Villa to avoid the limelight. There is my friend there. If you enter the villa with this jade card, she will definitely entertain you. As for the Zhuoguang Mountain Sword Furnace, we own countermeasures."

Li Yang took the box and the jade token, still hesitating: "Why did you help us?"

She had seen this young man being moody, reckless and merciless before, and she had long believed that he was not a kind person. It was only because he was with Fairy Changli and had cultivated well that she dared not speak out. But now he is It was strange for her to give out so many precious talismans and medicines without even frowning.

"Heh." Zhong Mingzhu smiled, and there was no warmth in his shallow eyes, "It's Fairy Changli who wants to help you, not me."

Behind him, Chang Li heard her words and couldn't help but look up at her.

She is really in a mess right now, and she doesn't know how to deal with all the sudden situations.

A few months ago, she was still thinking about the past in the ancestral hall, not knowing what happened in the past.

He didn't know about Zhong Mingzhu, he didn't know about the changes in the door, and he didn't know about the turmoil in the outside world.

At that time, she didn't experience joy, nor did she have troubles.

This time, when she found that Zhong Mingzhu was different from what she expected, she was not as angry as before, but was replaced by overwhelming fatigue.

She doesn't care about the grievances tens of thousands of years ago, the shadow of the Huozheng clan, and the method of breaking the boundary and ascension that everyone dreams of, but the fact is that she can't help but care about it - because she is probably in the center of the vortex.

Why is this so?She lowered her eyes silently, sighing in her heart.

Zhong Mingzhu noticed her trance, but could only pretend not to know. Noticing that the woman who was flipping through the album was no longer there, she asked, "Where is that woman who saved you?"

Li Yang was startled, his expression immediately became complicated, and said: "I have been detained, but I don't know how to deal with it yet."

But in a short period of time, she has already judged the truth from that mouth.

"The action is fast." Zhong Mingzhu said with a smile on his face, "How about this, take me to have a look, and I will think of an idea for you."

Changli took two steps, and was about to follow, but was stopped by Zhong Mingzhu: "I'll just go for a while, Fairy Changli, please wait here for a while."

Her footsteps faltered, her fingers couldn't help curling up, and she lightly stroked the fabric, but she didn't say anything, and just stopped without saying a word.

Zhong Mingzhu didn't look back at her, and followed Li Yang to the place where the man was imprisoned in the blink of an eye. She waved her hand and strengthened the barrier of the trapped man a little, so that Chang Li couldn't perceive what happened here, then lowered her head and stared at him. Looking at the woman who had obviously been tortured, he twitched the corners of his lips in disdain.

"When making a decision, you have to consider the consequences." She squatted down slowly, took the woman's hand almost gently, stared indifferently at the bright red spot on her wrist, then held it firmly with her backhand, palm touching Live there.

Spiritual power poured in mercilessly.

The woman struggled violently due to the great pain, but her hands and feet were all locked, even if she tried her best, it was futile.

Li Yang looked at the veins bulging out from the severe pain, and a trace of unbearableness flashed across his face, but he couldn't do anything. In front of such domineering power, her cultivation was not worth mentioning.

The torture ended quickly, accompanied by the woman's dying cry.

Zhong Mingzhu watched her turn into ashes together with the picture album he still carried with him expressionlessly, his eyes flashed with embarrassment, but he was still indifferent.

"She just doesn't want to continue this kind of life." Li Yang couldn't help but said.

"So what?" Zhong Mingzhu smiled, "I thought she was already prepared to die."

After finishing speaking, she walked out, with a slight smile on her lips, as if nothing happened, she really just came to take a look.

"Young Master, wait a minute." Li Yang suddenly called out to her, "I have something to ask."

"If it's about asking Fairy Changli, I'll leave it alone. You can tell me about the rest." Zhong Mingzhu said.

"It's not related to Fairy Changli, but there's one thing that I find a bit strange." Li Yang hesitated for a moment, then bravely said, "Why is the young master so angry after seeing the woman in the scroll? It's just because he resembles Fairy Changli, It shouldn't be like that."

At that moment, the monstrous killing intent did not seem to be fake.

Zhong Mingzhu was silent for a while, and finally sighed softly: "It's okay to tell you, the jewelry she withdrew was not placed in one place, but distributed in different places according to the position she wore, and the unlined clothes on her body were left lapel on top. , although I'm just guessing, it's probably a human sacrifice."

It was a custom a long time ago, using secret techniques to sacrifice humans and animals to bless one's fortune. At that time, the spiritual power of the earth was far more abundant than it is now. There are no bones left, only clothes and crowns are left as graves.

Chong Xiao would think of casting blood pools to refine swords, and most of them were inspired by these.

"Human Sacrifice..." Li Yang murmured, and immediately understood where the anger came from, "That Fairy Changli..."

Before she finished speaking, Zhong Mingzhu had already left, leaving only a lonely figure behind.

Beside the sword furnace, Yu Yuan suddenly opened his eyes, a smear of blood floated out of the Fang Ding not far away, and instantly overflowed into the scorching temperature.

"She knows." There was a crack in the wooden expression, and there was a bit of ferocity in the calm eyes, "Zhong Mingzhu knew."

Ye Lianxi's face darkened, and she couldn't help looking at the red spot on her wrist.

Yu Yuan didn't want to take any risks, and all the people who were directly driven by her had to form a pact with her, and if there was blood floating out of Fang Ding, it meant that another pact person died.

"But how did she do it?" He asked cautiously, "Could it be that Mo Chenxiang told her?"

At this time, the black-robed man who was as quiet as a rock said, "What did she say?"

He could already guess that Zhong Mingzhu poured his spiritual power into the spiritual sea of ​​the bonder, and in an instant what he was about to say turned into the other party's consciousness to occupy that body. Because of the dead bond master-slave relationship, she couldn't influence Yu Yuan, but it can make Yu Yuan feel it.

And the person whose consciousness was taken died because he couldn't bear the spiritual power.

"She said." Yu Yuan's eyes were filled with killing intent, "The sword of heaven is mine."

If other people said it, she would think it was just a bluff provocation, but if it was Zhong Mingzhu, it was undoubtedly a declaration.
