A little glimmer of light flickered in the darkness, and though the owner of the firelight had tried his best to enclose the fire with many stones, it was to no avail because of the wetness of the cavern. Lin Han sighed, and had no choice but to sprinkle a small piece of lunar eclipse gold into the firelight.

Seeing that just to maintain the light source, a piece of lunar eclipse gold the size of a fist had already been consumed, Lin Han really couldn't wait.

"I think there's a way to get you there. He looked at the dark and winding mouth of the cave: "But I don't know what's going on outside, I'll send you to the exit, and if the situation is not good, you can come back." There was so much movement last night, the guards must be checking the number of people, if the two of us are found missing, it will be difficult to do anything else in the future. ”

Lingxi was still puzzled.

"Aren't we waiting for my brother?" she was really well protected, like an innocent little girl who didn't know anything about the world: "When my brother left, he told me that if he encountered something that could not be solved, he must not act rashly, and stay in a safe place and wait for him to come." Wherever I run, he will come to me. ”

Lin Han put away the Lunar Eclipse Gold and reached out to press Lingxi's shoulder.

The girl's shoulders were very thin, and although she was wearing Lin Han's robe, she was still trembling slightly because of the coldness of the cave, and she seemed to be born with a protected role.

"Listen, Lingxi. I may never have ever told you what I am about to say, but I can honestly tell you that it is at least part of the truth in this world. Lin Han looked at Lingxi's eyes and told her word by word: "In this world, no one can really protect you, except yourself. Instead of waiting for others to appear and save without knowing when, it is better to become strong first and take the power into your own hands. This will both protect yourself and reduce the burden on that person......"

A confused look appeared on Lingxi's face.

"But my brother ......"

"No, Spirit. You don't know what we're going to face next, not only you, your brother, but even the Yuntian Sect, Luofu Mountain, and even all the sects on this big road are not qualified to say that they can deal with that qiē. When that day comes, it's too late for you to try to get stronger. Lin Han This is indeed a heartfelt statement.

Lingxi is very smart, and she can guess the meaning of Lin Han's words.

"Brother Lin Han, you mean," she looked at Lin Han blankly with clear eyes: "Will the Vermilion Bird Continent encounter a strong enemy, or will it be a demon ......?"

She pursed her lips a little timidly, not saying the word. For all cultivators, that word is taboo. It's okay for these young disciples who haven't experienced the battle of immortals and demons, and those old-timers are the real ones who talk about demon discoloration.

However, Lin Han didn't mind saying those two words.

"It's a demon. He calmly told Sù Lingxi: "If I remember correctly, there are about three years or so before the Vermilion Bird Continent will be invaded by the demons. I'm not sure if this time will be sooner, though. ”

They have all reached this step, and they have experienced life and death together, and he doesn't want to hide anything anymore. If he just wanted to make Ji Ao's path easier when he first arrived in this world, he didn't even mind his own life. So to this day, he wants too much.

He wants to fulfill the promise he made with Ji Biao, and he wants to be here when Ji Biao comes to him ten years later. He hoped that he would be able to accompany Ji Biao in the future, he wanted to survive the demon invasion, and if he had spare time, he also wanted to save some people - some people who could be called friends.

He originally thought that the more a person wants, the more vulnerable he will be. But when he really reached a desperate situation, he found that after having those longings and burning dreams engraved in his bones, he became extremely brave.

Just like now, he has included the spirit rhino in his scope of protection.

"I can't tell you my sources, but I can guarantee that what I say will happen. Do you still remember that rumor? Before Luofu Mountain Yuan Yaozi ascended to the Immortal Realm, he had predicted that there would be a catastrophe in the Vermilion Bird Continent, and now the five major sects are secretly preparing, but they are not revealing it on the surface, for fear of causing panic. ”

It's just that Lingxi can't accept such cruel news for a while.

"But the demon race has been extinct after the Immortal Demon War, and there has been no large-scale demon race for thousands of years. Lingxi still couldn't believe Lin Han's words, but Lin Han's determined attitude made her panic too......

"It is impossible for the demons to be truly exterminated, even if they are eradicated cleanly. Lingxi, you are a smart person, you should be thorough at all. Except for the innate immortals born in ancient times, could it be that the current immortals are all born of immortals? To put it mildly, if all the immortals in the three thousand worlds of the Ten Directions Immortal Realm are extinct now, will there be no more immortals in the world?" Lin Han lowered his eyes and said unhurriedly: "As long as someone cultivates immortals, there will be immortals. ”

On the other hand, the demons are the same.

As long as there are still people cultivating demons, it is impossible for the demon race to be extinct. Cultivating immortals and cultivating demons, but in a thought, there is never a zài who is more noble than whom, and who is more righteous than whom. Demon cultivators feed on flesh and blood, and use flesh as weapons, so why don't immortal cultivators cultivate the meridians. The demons are bloody and cruel, and they devour each other at every turn. The cultivation realm is just a fairy wind dao bone on the surface, but in fact, it is also the set of the weak and the strong eating the strong. Otherwise, the two of them wouldn't have fallen here with a body of fire thorns at this moment.

"But those ancient trolls have become extinct, and the cultivation techniques of the demon race have also been lost......"

"You don't need to practice the exercises, Lingxi. Lin Han looked at her eyes calmly: "Whether it is cultivating immortals or cultivating demons, the exercises and sword techniques are just shortcuts to the methods summarized by the predecessors, even if there are no shortcuts, you can cultivate." You are also a spiritual genius, and you should be born with the ability to divide spiritual arts. If someone is talented enough in cultivating demons, then he doesn't need any exercises and will cultivate on his own. ”

His fingers were slender and pale, with the fine powder of lunar eclipse gold, and lightly tapped on his left chest, and said the sentence that all the would-be immortals on the Vermilion Bird Continent who had peeked into the gate of the Immortal Dao knew it but did not dare to break it.

"Lingxi, you must know that immortals are born from the heart, and demons are also born from the heart. ”

His voice was very soft, but it seemed to weigh tens of millions of catties, and as soon as the words fell, the cave suddenly shook in the cave, and the knotted fiery red thorns suddenly shook like living creatures, and a dry voice sounded in the cave.

"The devil is born from the heart, the devil is born from the heart......" The voice seemed to have not spoken for a long time, it was extremely dry, and the tone was very strange, but with a nervous fanaticism, he read ecstatically: "I see, the heart is immortal, the demon is immortal, I know! Master, I know!"

Lingxi was taken aback by this strange voice, and shouted in panic: "Brother Lin Han......"

"Don't be afraid. Lin Han comforted her and protected her behind him. However, the entire cave was crumbling, countless stones and dirt were all falling, and the fiery red vines were shuttling through the soil like snakes, making a deafening sound! Embattled on all sides, Lin Han's hand had already pressed on the formation engraved with the Xuanwu Formation, and a fragile green light shield enveloped the bodies of the two, but this light was fleeting, Lin Han only had a small part of the formation, and he couldn't summon the complete Xuanwu Formation at all.

Just when Lin Han thought that he and Lingxi were going to be buried alive in this cave, the situation took a turn for the worse.

The fiery red vines that infested the dirt slowly parted like schools of fish in order, and even the knotted vines in the corner of the cave were scattered. The obsidian that was hidden in it looked like a corner of an altar, and as the vines receded and fewer, both of them were shocked by the scene before them.

Inside those entangled vines, there was a person hidden.

To be precise, a person is imprisoned.

The man's robe was already very ragged, his hair was gray and unkempt, his face was full of beard, his expression was haggard, his arms exposed outside the robe looked extremely thin, and his eyes were already rickety, like skeletons, but there was a very fanatical light in his eyes. His legs and lower body were buried in the altar of the basalt black rock, which seemed to have been petrified, and the basalt black rock had spread to his waist, revealing the black stone color in the ragged robes, and anyone in such a situation would instinctively panic. The man, however, seemed unaware of it, and instead looked intently at the altar in front of him.

The black altar is covered with dense seals, and that person is still writing new seals, basalt black rock is the hardest spirit stone in the world, to carve seals on it, even a formation mage of Xuanjizi's cultivation has to use tools. However, this man is like a flying pen, and under his thin hands, countless seals are spreading wantonly. He seemed to have broken through the most critical barrier by Lin Han's sentence "The devil is born from the heart", and while writing hard, he was still chanting madly in his mouth, such as "The devil is born in the heart, and all kinds of evils are done...... God thinks of shackles ......" and something like that.

As the seals under his hands became more and more, the basalt black rock altar slowly rose, and the hard rock spread up his body, and it seemed that it was already close to his waist.

A very crazy thought suddenly appeared in Lin Han's heart.

This man, he imprisoned himself here?

Could it be that this ancient formation on the basalt black rock, the prison that exudes terrifying coercion, was it made by himself?

Lin Han couldn't believe that there would be such a treacherous thing in this world, and he didn't believe that there would be such a person who was obsessed with formations in this world-he was even unaware of the danger he was in, and he only cared about perfecting the formation, and he didn't even realize that he had locked himself up with his own hands.

"It's terrifying...... Lingxi obviously saw all kinds of unusualness in this person. A person who can draw such a powerful formation, but he seems to be crazy and lost his mind, as long as his formation is a little wrong, he can collapse this hole at any time. Let Lingxi and Lin Han be buried underground with him.

And as his formation became more and more intricately drawn, countless golden lines spread on the basalt black rock, emitting a dazzling golden light, enveloping the man's thin skeleton-like body in it. The fiery red brambles seemed to be terrified of the golden light, and they all cowered on the mud walls of the cavern. Lin Han realized that the thorns in the cave had come out of his body—fiery red thorns grew out of his back like demonic wings, and the flames spread throughout the cave, and then took deep roots in the soil.

"Seniors. Lin Han called out vigilantly, trying to make him stop, the vines were frantically hiding in the dirt to avoid the golden light, and the entire hole was still collapsing. Now the only way was to stop the strange man, who exclaimed eagerly, "Senpai, can you hear me?"

The gray-haired strange man turned a deaf ear, still drawing new seals at a rapid pace, ignoring the fact that the basalt black rock had spread to his chest.

"It's going to be good soon...... Master," he said with ecstasy, as if communicating with his master in his imagination: "The formation that no one in the world can break, the most powerful seal! I have drawn it! Let me go to see my aunt! Master! I want to see my aunt!"

His voice became louder and louder, and in the end, he was crying, which was extremely poignant, the mud and gravel in the cave fell like a torrential rain, the vines were frantically shuttling in the dirt, the ground shook and the mountains shook, and the spirit rhino screamed in fright, Lin Han reached out to protect her head and neck, and the other hand had already opened the gourd for storage.

A thin reed leaf floated out of the gourd, getting bigger and bigger, Lin Han protected the spirit rhino with one hand, but manipulated the spirit sense to control the reed leaf to the size of one foot with the other, and rolled up a strong wind in the hole in the ground, separating all the falling soil and stones.

"Lingxi, get ready, I'll send you up now. In the chaos, he grabbed Lingxi's arm and helped her up: "After going out, keep running and hide to Elder Xuanfeng." Make sure you're safe first, and then come back to me when you have the chance. ”

"But ......"

"No, you do what I planned!" Lin Han gritted his teeth and gently lifted her up with the reed leaves, the entrance above the cave was extremely narrow, but the slender body of the spirit rhino burst out with amazing potential at a critical moment, climbing those blood-red vines and climbing into the winding tunnel.

The tunnel is completely perpendicular to the ground, so narrow that she can't even stretch her arms, Lingxi is just a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl, and Lin Han's thin reed leaves are the key to her ability to climb up. This is the best way at present, and the only way, both of them are trapped in this cave, the only way is for him to use his whole body to send the spirit rhino out, and then the future will depend on the spirit rhino.

Lin Han had never trusted a stranger so wholeheartedly in his life, but when it came to life and death, he had no distractions. The cave was filled with dirt and dust, so he simply closed his eyes, spread his spiritual sense, and concentrated on manipulating the small reed leaf, holding up the spirit rhino with the most appropriate strength and distance, so that the spirit rhino would not crash into the mud wall around the tunnel or fall down.

In just a few zhang distance, it is like a lifetime.

When the weight on the reed leaves was light, and it seemed that the spirit rhino had reached the ground, Lin Han finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After this relaxation, he realized the sharp pain in his body, the hole in the ground had collapsed for a small part, and he didn't know how many times he had been hit by dirt and stones, and a stone hit his forehead, blood flowed down, and his left eye was completely fascinated. He fumbled for the light source that had been extinguished and lit it again.

In the corner of the cave, among the stumps of fiery red vines on the ground, the strange man on the altar had been spread to his neck by the basalt black rock, and his arms were petrified and propped up on the altar, on which was the perfect formation he had drawn. His body has been petrified to the tenth **, and his side face has been dyed with a faint black, but he is still calling weakly: "My Auntie...... My Lady ......"

This picture is both extremely weird and inexplicably sad.

Lin Han approached the man vigilantly, and then realized that his current situation no longer cared about whether it was dangerous or not, anyway, in this small hole in the ground, if he wanted to die, he would die together, and it was useless for him to be vigilant.

He smiled helplessly, walked to the mysterious basalt black rock altar, and called softly, "Senior." ”

The strange man seemed to regain some consciousness when he was dying, and when he heard the call, his eyes seemed to move, but he didn't look at Lin Han, but still stubbornly stared at the seal on the altar.

Obviously, he was still obsessively trying to draw a formation that no one could break, and he thought that as long as he drew it himself, he would get the freedom that his master had promised to meet his aunt.

Such a paranoid and eccentric person gave Lin Han a sense of déjà vu.

Seeing that the basalt black rock was still spreading, and soon this person would completely turn into a stone sculpture, Lin Han couldn't help but feel compassion.

"Senior, you have already drawn the strongest formation. He comforted the stranger with pity: "You have completed the task assigned to you by your master, and soon you will be able to meet my aunt." ”

The strange man's eyes finally turned to Lin Han's direction.

Lin Han realized that he had a pair of eyes of very peculiar color, although they had shown a dull and haggard dark gray, but in the pupils, there were a few golden rays, which made people dare not look directly.

These eyes looked at Lin Han and quietly shed tears.

Lin Han felt a burst of sadness.

"Senpai, what's your name?"

Although he can only die in obscurity in this dark and damp cave, his name must be written on the stele. Maybe in the end, he will leave his name in this cave, Lin Han thought to himself, he was quiet in his heart, but he missed Ji Biao a little.

There was a blank look in the eyes of the stranger.

"I, I don't know my name," he seemed to be trying his best to recall, but he still couldn't remember his name, but he was obsessed again: "My Aunt, I want to see My Aunt!"

I forgot my own name, but I still remember someone's name, and I don't know if it's a blessing or a misfortune.

"What is my aunt's full name, what kind of sect is it?senior, where are you going to find my aunt?" Seeing that Xuanwu Heiyan had already petrified his jaw and beard, Lin Han hurriedly asked.

The strange man seemed to be struggling to remember, and there was a distant smile in his gray eyes.

"My Lady is in the West!" he seemed to be extremely happy when he mentioned something related to My Aunt: "My Aunt's surname is Jin, and I worship the Moon Valley......"

His voice stopped abruptly, and the basalt black rock spilled up, sealing the bottom half of his face in the hard stone, along with the unspoken words. Lin Han helplessly watched as the black spread little by little, and the strange man's gray eyes gradually dimmed, and finally became pitch black.

The burrow was quiet again, and the red vines all withered, except for those attached to his back, still dying, making a faint sound of dying.

The light source in Lin Han's hand swayed, and it seemed to be about to go out. He hurriedly took out the lunar eclipse gold and added a little to it, and when the firelight saw the strange man's petrified appearance, Lin Han's heart suddenly jumped, and something flashed.

"The Western Realm, the Moon Worship Valley, surnamed Jin, isn't that the ......" He realized something in his heart, pinched the Taoist robe near the vines on the strange man's back and looked at it, it was indeed the black robe of Yuntian Sect, with gold patterns faintly embroidered on it, this strange man was indeed a disciple of Yuntian Sect.

I got it.

The statue engulfed by the basalt black rock stood quietly in the darkness, silently telling this huge conspiracy, and the truth in Lin Han's heart was revealed.

The genius disciple of the Yuntian Sect fell in love with the woman of the Baishui Jin clan in the western realm, the Baishui Jin clan is the only force among the five major clans that rules in a clan way, and it is also a sect that respects the formation, it is very closed, and women are not allowed to marry outside. This disciple's master was afraid that he would join the power of the Baishui Jin Clan with the secret formation of the Yuntian Sect, so he deliberately tricked him into drawing a formation here that no one could break, and as long as he drew it, he would let him go to meet his sweetheart.

If he didn't draw it, he couldn't leave. If he draws it, he will be trapped in his own formation. Looking at the marks on this basalt black rock, he has been trapped in this cave for at least a few decades!

It's easy to ignore the passage of time when drawing a formation, so this weirdo may not even know that he's been in this cave for decades, so he's still thinking about finding his sweetheart. And most of the people in the Baishui Jin clan, especially the best group of disciples, had already been buried at the bottom of the sea when they built a sea boat to hunt the kraken.

Lin Han's heart was sour.

At least now I can tell this weirdo the whereabouts of his sweetheart.

Lin Han didn't know if he was still conscious at the moment, but it was better to tell the truth than to let him go on the road with his worries.

There was still a little human body temperature on the basalt black rock, and Lin Han gently put his hand on the eyes of the stone statue. He was afraid to see the stone statue's eyes.

"Senior," he said softly, "As early as sixty years ago, the Baishui Jin Clan had already been wiped out in the depths of the Misty Sea because of the creation of a dragon bone sea boat to hunt demons and encounter the ancient divine beast Kunpeng. ”

The cavern was eerily quiet, and he could hear the echo of his own voice.

After that, however, he seemed to hear a slight sound, like thorns dragging on the ground, and something hard as if it were slowly breaking, like a bud of a plant breaking through its hard shell, and it was only when these sounds sounded one after another that he knew that it was not his hallucination.

The stone statue suddenly lit up with a little golden light, and then this light expanded rapidly, and in an instant, countless golden cracks spread out on the surface of the hardest basalt black rock in the world, and the dazzling light bloomed from the black stone shell, like a golden sun wrapped inside.

However, behind this round of sun, there were countless blood-red vines growing wildly, if Lin Han only thought that the color of these vines was terrifying before, then at this moment, the palpitating coercion and terrifying murderous aura exuded from these vines were already suffocating.

This kind of aura was completely different from all the aura that Lin Han had encountered since he came to this world, there was no trace of the aura that an immortal path should have, but it was like coming from the dark abyss, turbid, as if it could corrode everything in this world.

This was the first time Lin Han had seen the true Immortal Dao.

It was also the first time he had seen demons.

The golden light and blood-red aura reached a terrifying balance on this strange man, as if two forces were fighting frantically on him, and the coercion emitted made Lin Han fall to the ground, unable to move, those blood-red vines grew wantonly around him, and the foul smell of blood made him feel bored and nauseated.

Lin Han raised his eyes with difficulty and saw the strange man in the light and blood.

Lin Han heard his voice, mixed with the sound of vines growing and the cracking of basalt black rocks, his voice was low, as if he was crying, and as if he was roaring angrily.

"Master...... You misled me so far!"

The thunderous sound echoed in the cave, Lin Han felt that his chest was shaken and reverberated constantly, and the blood red was crazy and permeated, engulfing the last trace of golden light! His eyes were dark, and he slowly fainted.

At the last second of fainting, he remembered who Okiyoko was.

That was the name of the previous head of the Cloud Heaven Sect.
