I didn't become a human today

After hearing what Zhi Yao said, Prince Wen naturally thought that the person who made the move just now was to maintain the order of the Lantern Festival.

After he stood for a while, his head was covered with sweat, and his two thick thighs became weak. Zhi Yao ordered someone to move a chair for Prince Wen, and watch the lantern with him.

During the period, Prince Wen touched Zhiyao's hand, full of joy.

The spectators around were not happy, "Although today is the Lantern Festival, it is also the day when the weaving girl chooses a benefactor for herself. This is why everyone is here, but look, the prince Wen and the weaving girl The affectionate look, we are out of the game!"

Everyone secretly scolded Lord Wen over and over again. As for Liang Xingye and the others, seeing that tonight's guards were all focused on the Lantern Festival, the guards guarding the demon chains must be more relaxed than usual. Avoiding the guards, intending to steal the demon chain.

After observing for a while, Liang Xingye discovered the regularity of the guards' inspections.

He exchanged glances with Ah He and Chen Jun, who had been guarding here early in the morning, and the two, one big and one young, rushed into the pavilion with lanterns in their arms.

The guard guarding the main entrance drew his sword and stopped them, "What are you doing!"

Ah He was covering his stomach with his face flushed, while Chen Jun stomped beside him, "My younger brother ate up his stomach just now at the Lantern Market. Excuse me, elder brother, is there a toilet in the pavilion?"

Ah He ouched twice in a timely manner, and Chen Jun threw away the lantern that was full of arms, "Brother, how are you, hold back a little longer, and don't get it on your body!"

Taking advantage of Chen Jun shaking the guard's eyes with the lantern, Liang Xingye dodged with Ji Ran in his arms, avoided the patrolling guards, and entered the pavilion.

The interior of this pavilion is more magnificent than it looks from the outside. As soon as Liang Xingye entered, he noticed many jade carvings that were one person tall placed on the ground.

Ji Ran tilted his head, licked the jade carving, and came to the conclusion, "Jade is good jade, but these carved things are a bit more evil."

Going further in, there is a huge jade tripod in the center of the pavilion. The color of the jade tripod is not very uniform, some places are pure white, some places are light pink, and some places are darker than bright red.

Liang Xingye was still looking around, trying to find the demon lock chain, when he heard Ji Ran's "huh" in his ears.

"what happened?"

Ji Ran moved closer to the jade cauldron, "Brother Xingye, look carefully, there is something like a blood vessel in this jade cauldron. At first I thought it was impure jade, it was just a flaw inside, but I just discovered that this Things are all over the inside of the Jade Cauldron, if I guessed correctly, this cauldron is used to eliminate demons."

Based on his previous experience, Ji Ran speculated, "This cauldron has been soaked in the blood of monsters all year round, so this change will occur. If I guess right, this place is where they kill monsters and dissect the inner alchemy. Hoshino Brother, you hold me higher, I want to see if there is anything inside this jade tripod, maybe the demon-locking chain is inside."

The cauldron was very tall, Liang Xingye lifted Ji Ran above his head, barely allowing him to see what was inside.

He put Ji Ran down carefully, "Did you see it? What's inside?"

"It's empty."

They searched in the pavilion for a while, but they still couldn't find any trace of the demon chain.

"Could it be that the Demon Lock Chain isn't here at all?"

"No, Zhiyao won't lie to us." Liang Xingye set his eyes on the jade tripod again, "I always feel that there is something wrong with this jade tripod."

After saying this, there was movement outside the pavilion, and the door was pushed open from the outside to the inside.

"Pavilion Master, Seventeen is dead, and this month's demon pill is missing one."

A man wearing a mask and a white robe came in. Bai Ji lowered his head, opened the brocade box in his hand, and reported the situation to him in detail.

With his hands behind his back, the man seemed to have sensed the unusual atmosphere in the pavilion today, but he did not take any action, "Who else in the Wanning Pavilion has a demon pill that meets the requirements?"

"Only weaving the waist. Only her Yaodan has been cultivated to the size the pavilion master wants."

The man's voice was cold, "After tonight, let's dissect her."

"Yes." Bai Ji opened the brocade box in his hand, "Master, it's time to take the demon pill."

The masked man closed the brocade box with a snap, "No hurry, before that, I have to deal with something first." After a pause, his voice became louder, "Taixu, have you seen enough of the play? Don't you hurry up and get rid of those mice that trespassed in the pavilion?"

As soon as the masked man finished speaking, Liang Xingye felt a gust of wind blowing towards him. He tried his best to throw away Ji Ran in his arms. The man was so fast that he couldn't even see his figure.He hastily drew his sword, and after a few strokes with him, he realized that he was at a disadvantage and was not the man's opponent.

That person's skills are amazing, and his cultivation base is even higher than that of Liang Xingye, he should be at the level of being about to become a fairy.

Liang Xingye took a few steps back, but was still hit by the man's palm. The tip of the sword pierced into the ground, and with a "chuck", long scratches were drawn on the ground.

Ah He and Chen Jun, who were waiting outside the door, heard the sound of fighting in the pavilion, and ignored it, and fought all the way in with a sword in hand, but fought with Bai Ji.

In the pavilion, Liang Xingye knew the strength gap between himself and the opponent. He was already covered with bruises in just a few confrontations. He could only bear the pain and lead people further away, at least to buy some time for Ji Ran.

He warned in his direction, "Go!"

As soon as the words fell, he was stabbed in the chest by the man.

An old man finally stabilized his figure on the spot, watching this scene with cold eyes.

Liang Xingye held his breath, knelt down on the spot, supported by a blunt sword, and the bright red blood gushed out from the wound. He tried his best, and finally raised his head and stared in the direction where Ji Ran was. He moved, but couldn't make any sound.

Ji Ran was frightened, he ran towards Liang Xingye with all his strength, there were countless voices in his heart denying at the same time, no, no, brother Xingye is so powerful and capable, how could he be defeated by others?

He won't die, definitely won't die!

The wind whistled past his ears, and he ran wildly all the way, and finally came to him who was dying.

Liang Xingye leaned against a jade carving, stretched out his hand, and stroked his head. Finally, he lowered his hand weakly.

At the same time, Bai Ji, covered in blood, was defeated by Ah He and Chen Jun. With a bang, the door was knocked down, "Brother Hoshino, here we come!"

The two were about to step into the pavilion, and were frightened by the bloody scene inside.

The old man with white beard pulled out the sword stuck in Liang Xingye's chest expressionlessly, and wiped it with a handkerchief casually.

Both Ah He and Chen Jun froze in place, for a moment, they didn't even dare to take a step forward.

In the end, it was Ah He who couldn't control himself anymore, and yelled at the white-bearded old man with horror on his face, "Master?"
