Dressed as a male protagonist

As if night fell, Wei Ling's vision was completely imprisoned as soon as he stepped into the dark place.And Shao Yan followed Wei Ling calmly, as if he was not affected by the darkness, he knew Wei Ling's every move, and reminded him which direction he should go from time to time.

"In Soul Bound Stone Forest, the most frightening thing is not to encounter danger, but to be separated from one's companions."

Wei Ling tilted his head slightly. Although he couldn't see anything, he still couldn't help but look at the possible location of the other party - he really didn't want to comment on the word companion.

Shao Yan said with a smile: "Wei Fengzhu seems to have doubts?"

Wei Ling walked forward in the dark, and only responded after a while: "Senior Shao."

"I know what you want to ask." Shao Yan stepped forward and grabbed Wei Ling's shoulder, ignoring his momentary stiffness, and took him two steps to the left, "I have indeed been here—you almost stepped on the food just now. Stone worm."

"what is that?"

"A rock-eating bug, of course, if someone accidentally touches it, it doesn't just eat rocks."

Wei Ling's footsteps paused, but he returned to normal in an instant: "Then Lao Shao will lead the way." After he finished speaking, he didn't care how Shao Yan responded. to the position behind it.

Shao Yan smiled slowly in the dark.

When the darkness came to an end, Wei Ling subconsciously raised his hand to cover his eyes.

It was a world covered in endless snow.Under the heavy snow, there are countless tall stone pillars.

It took Wei Ling a while to get used to the light here, and while blinking to relieve the stinging pain in his eyes, he said to Shao Yan, "Does senior know where the entrance to the next floor is?"

"know."

Wei Ling breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to himself that Shao Yan should have known the way to crack each layer of the endless abyss long ago, and what he did before was just to play with himself.Thinking of this, while unhappy, more fortunate.Fortunately, the two are not walking forward completely blindly.

"In this case, we might as well go faster."

"It won't be soon." Shao Yan shook his head, turned his gaze to the snow-covered stone forest, and climbed up his face solemnly, "The key to passing the soul-besieging stone forest lies in... the state of mind."

Hearing this, Wei Ling looked at the sky. The sun in the sky shone brightly on the snow-covered stone pillars, and then refracted into the eyes of the two of them, dazzling white.

"What I pursue in the Zuowang Peak Mind Method is Zuowang Wuxin. Although I have not reached the state of Zuowang Wuxin, but the state of mind is much higher than that of ordinary people, and I should not hold back my predecessors."

Shao Yan glanced at Wei Ling speechlessly.

"...Could it be that senior has no confidence in himself?" With an inexplicable strange smell lingering at the tip of his nose, Wei Ling narrowed his eyes slightly, guessing Shao Yan's inner thoughts.

Shao Yan didn't make a sound.

The air carried the unique cold and bleakness of winter, and occasionally the wind blew through, lifting the hair and the hem of the clothes of the two of them.Wei Ling slowly pushed down Feiyang's sleeves, and said in an unpredictable tone, "Then let me ask you, how did you pass the Soul Bound Stone Forest when you came here for the first time?"

Shao Yan has followed Lu Hong for many years, and has a deep obsession with revenge, which can be seen from his reckless use of radical methods to improve his strength.Fortunately, his aptitude was limited, and even with all his obsession, he couldn't reach the ideal level of cultivation, so he turned his mind on Wei Ling, who had an innate chaotic body.

Of course, if it wasn't Wei Ling who appeared, then Shao Yan was probably targeting Lu Wuchen who was related to Lu Hong by blood.

Wei Ling had already guessed this point.So he accepted Shao Yan's suggestion without much rejection, and came to the endless abyss.

As if bad memories were brought up by Wei Ling's words, Shao Yan's face was obviously gloomy.

"Let's go separately."

Wei Ling couldn't understand the meaning of Shao Yan's words all of a sudden, or he understood it, but he couldn't believe it: "Before, the senior himself said that it is very dangerous to get lost in the Beaming Soul Stone Forest." He sneered , I simply want to look at my "companion" with admiration.

"I will leave my mark on you."

"Then use me to pass through the stone forest, senior sit back and enjoy the rewards?" Before Shao Yan could react, Wei Ling flew back a foot away.

Shao Yan laughed anxiously: "Otherwise? Do you think you can walk to Hell Bay by yourself? Even if you really have the ability to go to Hell Bay, without my assistance, you would just die in the past, let alone take advantage of the special environment of Hell Bay Improve your strength!"

Wei Ling also laughed: "Senior misunderstood. I don't mean to abandon senior, I just want to discuss something with senior."

Shao Yan signaled Wei Ling to continue.

Wei Ling was also unwilling to show off, and even wasted time: "Senior helps me improve my strength, and I help senior avenge, this is a fair deal. But this deal does not include the need to act as a scapegoat for senior in this dangerous Soul Bound Stone Forest, so Senior, if you want me to lead the way willingly, you have to give me some reward." Wei Ling tilted his head and said casually, "I don't ask too much, I just ask you to give me the tiger bone that Senior Lu Hong gave me back then."

"What did you say?" Shao Yan almost couldn't catch his breath, "You really dare to speak!"

The tiger bone was enshrined by Fangzhang Island for many years, and later, due to various reasons, it was handed over by Lu Hong to the seniors of Wanzongmen to make it into a top-grade fairy weapon and a magic whip.After several battles, Lu Hong gave it to the brave and loyal Shao Yan as a reward.For so many years, Shao Yan has regarded this celestial artifact as a life-like thing.Not only because of its rarity and strength, but also because it was the only thing Lu Hong gave him.

The originally sunny sky suddenly rolled over with dark clouds, just like Shao Yan's face at this time.

"Senior should know the consequences of you and I being wasted here." Wei Ling slightly curled the corners of his mouth, "In the end, I'm just a hard worker, and the only weight I have is my innate chaotic body. But even so, I The weight is also heavier than that of the senior. The senior just helped me improve my strength, and let me continue to fight with my life. It is not fair to compare the two sides."

One is betting on his life, and the other is just giving advice. It is reasonable for him to ask for more compensation.

"What do you think you want? It's not the bones of a wild tiger on the side of the road!"

"Of course it's not the bone of an ordinary white tiger—otherwise what would I want it for?" Wei Ling's eyes were a little gloomy, "Give it to me, and I promise it will be more useful than in your hands."

Shao Yan took a few short breaths, and his breath was disordered: "How dare you say it!"

Wei Ling wanted to laugh: "Senior has said this twice. Dare I have already mentioned it anyway, senior should make a decision quickly. This stone forest looks very strange."

As the dark cloud shrouded, Wei Ling saw a stone pillar emitting a green light.While this made him wary, he was also very dissatisfied with Shao Yan's stubbornness.

He is even more clear about the origin of the tiger bone than Shao Yan, just because it is a very crucial thing in the "future" that Jingling showed him at the beginning.For this reason, he has been looking for opportunities to test Shao Yan. This opportunity is rare, and he will never give up.

The two confronted each other silently.

The wind hits.Fine snowflakes blew past the eyes of the two of them, confusing their vision, and at the same time, it seemed as if a white wall stood between the two of them, making people's hearts blocked and chilled.

"What exactly do you want to do?"

"...It turns out that seniors sometimes don't understand other people." Wei Ling sighed softly, as if tired from the confrontation, his expression eased a lot, "Whether seniors believe it or not, it's really not selfish to ask for tiger bones. This matter should not conflict with Senior's revenge plan."

"You took my weapon and said it didn't conflict with my revenge plan?"

Wei Ling didn't want to explain, but he also didn't want to continue the stalemate: "What does senior want? I must get this tiger bone, and I won't go on without it."

Shao Yan was so angry that he let out a breath from his nasal cavity: "You form a puppet contract with me, and I will give you the tiger bone, how about it?"

"make a deal!"

This time Shao Yan was really stunned.

"you sure?"

The puppet contract is just as its name suggests, the master of the contract has absolute control, while the slave belongs to the controlled party, and has no autonomy except for consciousness.This is a very cruel and inferior master-servant contract.

Wei Ling smiled: "I'm sure. As long as Senior doesn't regret it, I won't regret it."

Shao Yan's face changed several times, and finally he looked at the young man whose face was blurred by snowflakes, and smiled: "This is very good."

Half an hour later, the two formed a puppet bond in the heavy snow.

Most of the contracts in the world of cultivating immortals require the willingness of both parties to complete the contract.The puppet contract is no exception.Shao Yan originally thought that Wei Ling might regret it at the last moment, but when the contract was concluded, the other party didn't show any sign of regret.

Wei Ling stretched out his hand: "Can you give me the tiger bone?"

Shao Yan suddenly wanted to test whether he was really so sure: "We have formed a puppet contract, do you think I will give it to you?"

"Of course I will." Wei Ling wiped off the snow on his face, his eyes were clear, "First, senior is not a person who does not keep his word; There is no reason to suddenly break the contract."

Shao Yan laughed loudly, and the previous depression was swept away: "I seem to understand why the group of Wan Zongmen love you so much!"

Wei Ling didn't answer, but turned to look at the snow-covered front and walked forward step by step.

Shao Yan stood still.

"Senior still has concerns?" Wei Ling turned to look at him, "With the cover of the puppet contract, I don't think there is any need for seniors to hide anything."

"I still underestimate you." Shao Yan followed up and looked up at Wei Ling with rare admiration in his eyes.

Wei Ling turned around and continued walking, refusing to comment on Shao Yan's words.

From Shao Yan's hesitation from the very beginning, he had guessed the other party's fear of the Soul Beaming Stone Forest, otherwise he would not have chosen to use this as a bargaining chip in exchange for tiger bones.And what Shao Yan said in the dark passage is contradictory to what he said when he came to the Soul Beaming Stone Forest. This can only mean that only one of the two different words is true, or neither of them is true.

It just so happened that Wei Ling had entered the illusion of testing his state of mind more than once, and he knew this kind of place very well, and he had never heard of the saying that this kind of situation can be escaped with the help of another person's imprint.So Shao Yan's lie was confirmed.

And the puppet contract proposed by Shao Yan proved Wei Ling's guess even more.

——Same as himself, Shao Yan had his own little plan from the very beginning.

The difference is that what he wants is a tiger bone, but what Shao Yan wants is a contract. He wants to use the power of the contract to follow him through the Soul Bound Stone Forest.

So what you said in the dark passage can't be separated, and it's frankly a lie.Wei Ling thought maliciously, such a person who is full of lies should really go through hell with his tongue out.
