Shifu, the courtyard of the Shijia compound. Originally, it was the place where the big family of Fengyuan City lived, and it was the most luxurious mansion in the city, but after a few years, the courtyard was also a mess and messy.

Lin Yuan searched all the way, only to see that in this courtyard, in addition to the two girls just now, there was also a thing full of steaming black gas, under the black gas, it was impossible to see its original face, but the blood overflowing from its mouth, and the hideous scream, you could feel that this guy was by no means a good kind.

"This is the ghost ......" Lin Yuan was shocked for a while, according to the cognition granted to him by the Spirit Devourer, this ghost thing is still a powerful ghost made of great grievances, and its cultivation is strong, and it can compete with the monks of the fifth order!

And at this moment, at the foot of this ghost thing, lying horizontally and vertically, the group of big men who came in to hunt for treasures before, groaning in pain on the ground, where they were hurt, the black gas was permeated, and one of them was already dead, his intestines were broken, and all parts of his body were torn beyond recognition, and he was drenched in blood.

And the ghost thing seemed to be satisfied, leaning over and gnawing at the person under him, the three people in the courtyard saw that their scalps were numb, and they couldn't bear to vomit, only to hear the girl in white drink immediately, and said angrily: "You demon, you dare to make a mistake!"

As she spoke, the girl in white suddenly burst into golden light, pointed out at the ghost thing, and smashed it to the side with a "bang", Lin Yuan was suddenly startled, and was about to stop it, but saw the ghost thing get up again, and screamed at everyone, the voice was extremely harsh, as if it was extremely angry at the few people who disturbed its eating, and then galloped towards the girl in white with a claw.

"Evil beast, I will correct you today!" the girl in white shouted, and then as soon as she put her hands together, she saw that when the ghost thing came, a "swastika" calligraphy seal fell from the sky, locking it firmly in place. The golden light of the law seal is glowing, and under the light, it is difficult for that ghost thing to do.

I only listened to the girl in white singing the scriptures that were difficult to understand, the sound was like the sound of the tide of the sea, although it came out of her mouth, but it made people feel that they came from the heavens, and in the immersive scene, people had a fresh feeling, and their hearts seemed to have been washed.

Only the ghost thing, as soon as he heard this sound, the black qi on his body dissipated at a speed visible to the naked eye, and he suddenly felt like he had been hit hard, and he was in pain, and he roared at the girl in white, showing his teeth and claws, but he could not move forward in the slightest, and he was extremely resentful.

On the side, the girl in yellow snorted coldly and said: "Hmph, you monster, you have eaten so many people, and you still don't regret it, but fortunately, my young lady's cultivation has made a breakthrough, and this trick 'Sanskrit Yin Doom' will definitely make you ruined." ”

"Gone in smoke...!"

Lin Yuan was shocked when he heard this, he still didn't know if this ghost thing was transformed by his grandfather or sister Lingxi, how could he watch him die in front of him, and immediately didn't care about anything else, he sheathed his sword for the Dao, shook his body, and came to the ghost thing, and with a sword in the air, the surrounding golden light was scattered.

The girl in white was forcibly broken, and she couldn't help but pace a few steps backwards, almost falling, and the girl in yellow next to her was angry when she saw this, and shouted: "Stinky boy, you dare to hurt my young lady!" As he spoke, he pulled out a long whip from his waist, and when he was angry, he was about to hit him.

"Lian'er, stop!" The girl in white hurriedly drank and reached out to stop her.

The girl in yellow was suddenly annoyed and said, "Miss, this kid ...... him"

"I'm fine, don't mess around!" the girl in white shook her head and breathed a sigh of relief.

The girl in yellow was angry with her, looked at Lin Yuan angrily, and scolded: "You kid, why did you suddenly attack my young lady?"

Lin Yuan apologized and said, "I'm sorry, although this guy is extremely evil, but I can't let him die, I'm really sorry." ”

The girl in white looked at Lin Yuan and asked, "Why?"

Lin Yuan didn't answer, turned around to look, and saw that this ghost thing was already dying, and most of the black gas on his body dissipated, revealing a skinny child who came out, this appearance was not his grandfather, nor his sister Lingxi, but it was an old childhood acquaintance, the eldest young master of the Shi family.

After ten years, I never thought that this stone hat was still the shape of his childhood, although he was much thinner, but his appearance was still recognized by Lin Yuan at a glance, but at this moment, Lin Yuan's appearance is no longer like back then, how could Shi Li recognize it, when he saw someone coming next to him, he was like a wild beast that had escaped from his legs, raising his claws and pounced.

"Be careful!" exclaimed the girl in white.

Lin Yuan didn't move at all, and shouted softly: "Shi Li, I'm Lin Yuan, do you still recognize me?"

Suddenly, I saw Shi Li's claws stunned in mid-air, looking at Lin Yuan, and in a voice that had not been spoken for a long time, he hissed hoarsely: "Lin... Far..."

Lin Yuan nodded and said with a smile: "It's me, I'm not dead, I'm back." ”

Suddenly, the two hugged each other and cried, never thinking that the two who hated each other as children were hugging each other at the moment, like relatives who had been reunited after a long absence.

And the girl in white who was watching them from the side, for some reason, also quietly wept, whimpering indistinctly, as if crying with joy, in a voice that almost only she could hear, and whispered: "It's him... He's still alive..."

Saying that, she slowly stepped forward, but when Shi Li saw her coming, she was immediately afraid, so she hid behind Lin Yuan and shouted, "Don't come here, don't come here!"

Lin Yuan soothed: "Don't worry, with me, I will never let them hurt you." ”

After speaking, he got up and looked at the girl in white, and said, "I don't know what I saw just now, but I didn't see that the girl is also a cultivator, I don't know where she comes from?"

The girl in white said, "I am..."

Before she finished speaking, she only heard the girl in yellow snort coldly, and said: "It's okay to tell you, my young lady, it's Her Royal Highness the Holy Maiden of the 'Holy Spirit Sect', if you know each other, you can quickly get away, this monster almost hurt my young lady a few times, don't think that if you know him, we will let him go." ”

Hearing this, Lin Yuan frowned, remembering that this "Holy Spirit Sect" was a sect created by the Demon Clan, and immediately became vigilant, and said, "You are from the Demon Sect!?"

Seeing him like this, the girl in white paused and said, "Are you prejudiced against my demon clan?"

Lin Yuan shook his head and said, "It's not my prejudice, it's really your demon clan bloodthirsty and murderous, and it's extremely evil." ”

The girl in white looked anxious, and hurriedly explained, "What you said is all the misunderstanding of my race by the world, so it is a false rumor. ”

Lin Yuan said lightly: "Misunderstanding? Isn't this demonic qi full of cities enough to explain everything?"

The girl in white hurriedly said, "This matter is definitely not our doing. ”

Lin Yuan smiled disdainfully and said, "It's not you, who else can there be, this demonic qi is something that your demons are born with." ”

"I..." The girl in white was dumbfounded for a while, not knowing how to explain, but the girl in yellow stepped forward angrily and said: "Yes and what, no, say that I am evil, the monster behind you is the real evil, I don't know how many people have eaten over the years, you are so righteous and awe-inspiring, why don't you see you except him, do you still stay to eat people." ”

Lin Yuan said: "His appearance is not due to you, in the future, if I keep him by my side, I will definitely take a good look at it, and never let him do evil things, you don't have to worry about it." After speaking, he looked at the few big men on the ground who had already fainted in pain, and sighed: "You go, see that you have saved them, we should have never seen each other today, and next time we will meet again, we will be enemies." ”

The girl in white was stunned when she heard this, looked straight at Lin Yuan, walked to his side, and asked, "You, do you hate the demon clan so much, hate me?"

Lin Yuan said: "It's not hate, it's hate!"

"Hate..."The girl in white smiled sadly and said to herself: "I understand." After speaking, he didn't say anything more, and shouted to the girl in yellow: "Lian'er, let's go." ”

The girl in yellow was also annoyed, and said, "Miss, this guy is really angry, see if I don't teach him a lesson." ”

"I said, let's go!"

With a scolding, how dare the girl in yellow make a mistake, she obediently followed behind, and before leaving, she said fiercely to Lin Yuan: "Next time we meet, you give me more care." ”

In the end, the two left, and in the empty courtyard, they returned to calm again, without the figure of the girl in white, Shi Li had no scruples, looking at the unconscious few big men in the courtyard, salivating from his mouth, Lin Yuan sighed slightly, and said, "You are not allowed to eat people in the future." ”

Shi Lisha was not angry, where did he manage so much, and immediately had a bloody mouth, and he was about to bite it off, but at this time, a dark blue fire light blocked the front, and under one touch, it was actually a howling scream, and then, Lin Yuan's helpless warning came:

"Promise me that you will never do evil things in the future, otherwise even I will definitely not keep you. ”

Shi Li begged: "But Lin Yuan, I'm so hungry, really hungry, I want to eat meat, please, just let me eat a bite." ”

·“ Not a bite!"

Lin Yuan's face was serious, but seeing his pitiful appearance, he couldn't bear it, and said: "As long as you promise me that you won't hurt people again, I will buy you whatever you want to eat in the future, and I will never let you starve." ”

Shi Li's eyes lit up, as if he had been greatly tempted, and said excitedly: "Seriously!? If you don't let me go hungry in the future, I will listen to you whatever you say." ”

Lin Yuan couldn't help but smile and said, "A word is a certainty, but you are not allowed to go back." ”

Shi Li nodded hurriedly, afraid that it would be Lin Yuan who would regret it, and said, "Don't regret it, don't regret it." ”

Lin Yuan smiled slightly and asked, "Tell me, what happened in the city back then, what happened to my grandfather and my sister, are they still alive?"

Suddenly, Shi Li seemed to remember something terrible, and said with a frightened face: "Dead, all dead, since you left, the moon has turned red, and then ...... Then the city was surrounded by a cloud of black gas, and it was impossible to get in or out, and then everyone's blood began to ...... out."

Lin Yuan was stunned, he didn't have hope for whether his grandfather and sister were still alive, but he saw that there were traces of someone tidying up in his home, so he thought that the ghost in the city was transformed by his grandfather or sister, but at this moment, he saw that this ghost thing was transformed by Shi Li, and he was puzzled, he didn't think that Shi Li was idle and would help her tidy up her home.

Or maybe there are other ghosts in this city.

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan hurriedly asked, "Over the years, have you seen my grandfather and sister in the city?"

Shi Li looked at him strangely, and said, "They all said they were dead, how could they see it, but even if they didn't die at the time, they would be burned to death later." ”

"Burned?" Lin Yuan looked puzzled, didn't know what he meant, and asked, "What do you mean?"

"I fainted that day, and when I woke up, I saw that all the people in the city had for some reason gone to the sky, and at last they were burned in the air. ”

Lin Yuan suddenly reacted, what Shi Li said should be the day when the head of the sect, Xuanyi, led everyone to come, and it was inevitable that the corpses in the city would be burned due to an epidemic. And on that day, he was also present, and if he had been able to enter the city, maybe Ishikasa would not have died, and perhaps his grandfather and sister would still be alive......

Suddenly, there was a burst of self-blame in my heart, but at the moment it was useless to regret it, perhaps, this is the so-called "life".

"What about you, how did you survive?" Lin Yuan suddenly asked, just when he said the word "live", he couldn't help but pause, looking at Shi Li's appearance, I am afraid that this guy still doesn't know that he is dead.

I saw Shi Li's long sigh, and there was a sense of the rest of his life after the catastrophe, and said: "I was clever at the time, and I was lucky to survive by hugging a big tree, but since I ate what I could eat in the city, in desperation, I ate myself, but after that, I still couldn't eat, and I suffered from hunger every day, which was really difficult." When he said this, his face turned bitter. I wanted to cry for a while, and I was extremely aggrieved.

Lin Yuan's face couldn't help twitching, he really didn't know how Shi Li had spent all these years, he was so hungry that he was already eating people, he was speechless for a while, and he was quite sad.

"Let's go, I'll take you out, and in the days to come, I'll never let you starve again!"

Lin Yuan said solemnly, as if he had made a promise.

Shi Kasa gave him a grateful look, but then shook his head and said, "No, no... I don't know what strange disease I have, I can't see the light of day all the time, and if I go with you, when the sun rises in the morning, there will be no shelter, and I will be in pain. ”

"Don't worry, I'm prepared. ”

Lin Yuan smiled slightly, took off the Qiankun bag from his arms, and said: "This magic weapon can be stored, you can't see the light during the day, and you will rest in it in the future. ”

"Spirits, what is that, can you eat it?" Ishikasa asked suddenly.

Lin Yuan rolled his eyes and said, "This spirit body is ethereal, and has no physical body, how can it be eaten, if you go in, get along with him well." ”

Shi Li was stunned and said disappointedly: "Oh, it's the master who has no meat." ”

Lin Yuan only felt helpless, and wanted to call out the soul devourer, but his divine sense swept into the bag, but saw that this guy had shrunk into a ball, and he could not respond to the call, so he could only give up, opened the mouth of the bag, and said, "Come in." ”

"Well, good. ”

Shi Li responded, and then the ghost light of the Qiankun bag flickered and put him in. And Lin Yuan, after placing a few big men in the courtyard to the place where the demonic qi had not invaded the city, he left and disappeared into the night, as for what these people do when they wake up, it is not his concern, everyone has their own lives, and all he can do is this.
