The flames of the cedar forest continued to burn, as if they were about to burn the night sky, and it was particularly dazzling on the twilight ice field at night.

Li Yi'an and Xiao Tian glanced at each other, and they both quickly picked up the space rings of these disciples of the Feather Arrow Sect and the Imperial Beast Sect on the ground.

Not surprisingly, there are mostly some spirit stones, pills, animal skins, and some ordinary silver taels in the ring.

Then they threw the corpse into the flames and made it disappear completely under the red night.

When they had done all this, they were both sweating profusely, not because the battle was too intense.

It's because the temperature around it, because of the fire, it has risen by several degrees.

'Crackling...' the sound of burning branches kept ringing around the two of them.

The oxygen around them was thinned by the flames, and they felt a little dizzy, stuffy, and thirsty.

Xiao Tian immediately took out a water bladder, raised his head and drank a few big sips, then wiped his mouth and threw the water bladder in his hand to Li Yi'an.

"Oops, oh yes, it's hot to death"

He looked at the corpse, which had been consumed in flames, and covered his mouth and nose in disgust.

Li Yi'an drank water while mentally calculating the time it had taken from the beginning of the battle to the present.

The pace of this battle, at the beginning, was very slow.

Because the number of disciples of the Feather Arrow Sect and the Imperial Beast Sect far exceeded them, not only that, but there were also two ninth-order cultivators of the Condensation Realm in the team.

And he and Xiao Tian, one is the first order of the Transformation Source Realm, and the other is the second order of the Concentrating Realm.

If you don't weaken the place, you can directly hit the hard, although the scene will be more shocking, but it is extremely unfavorable to them.

Therefore, he resorted to guerrilla warfare, which was time-consuming, but effective.

And in the middle and late stages of the battle, when he found out that this group of Immortal Sect disciples seriously lacked actual combat experience.

The pace of this battle was greatly accelerated under his leadership.

Even after their will to fight was destroyed, the ninth-order disciples of the Condensing Realm who had previously made them scruple.

It was in the hands of him and Xiaotian, one by one.

...

"Boss, what are we going to do next?"

Xiao Tian looked at Li Yi'an with some expectation.

Li Yi'an threw the water bladder in his hand to Xiao Tiandao again: "Let's go, let's go see the blood pupil, calculate the time, it should be about the same, I don't know what happened to her over there!"

"Great!"

The two of them packed up and walked quickly towards the outside of the forest.

...

At this time, the blood pupil looked panicked and at a loss, because Li Yi'an explained what she did, she seemed to have gone too far...

The two of them soon met in the woods.

Seeing Li Yi'an's blood pupil, his speed plummeted, and even the sword spirit blood pupil had entered the blood pupil sword, and he flew to Li Yi'an's side slowly.

Seeing this, Li Yi'an didn't know what had happened and asked, "Blood Pupil, is the matter done?"

The sword body of the blood pupil shook slightly, and the sound of the blood pupil came from Li Yi'an's mind.

"It's done, it's done..."

"Well, I think there are a lot of villagers, I think you need some time. ”

Just as Li Yi'an continued to move forward, the Blood Pupil Sword flew in front of him.

And the sword spirit blood pupil thought about it again and again, and it still emerged from the sword body.

She lowered her head, glanced up at Li Yi'an from time to time, and scratched the back of her head from time to time, like a child who had made a mistake, and didn't know how to explain to adults.

"What's wrong? Is something wrong?"

The blood pupil shrunk his neck and said, "That... Master... I think I'm driving them crazy..."

"Crazy?"

Li Yi'an was a little surprised, and Xiao Tian's eyes widened with curiosity.

Although the eyeballs of the Blood Pupil Sword are a little creepy, how can the Blood Pupil itself be a little girl, how can it make people crazy?

Could it be her vision?

This illusion of blood pupils, Li Yi'an has personally experienced it once.

It will make people fall into the illusion created by their own memories.

Because it is everything that I am familiar with, this kind of illusion will make it difficult to distinguish the real from the false, and I will be deeply immersed in it.

The subconscious mind of the brain will always try to remind you that this is wrong, that this is an illusion.

But when your main consciousness compares the memory, you will find that this is real, not an illusion.

The conflict between the two consciousnesses can indeed be maddening if you are in this kind of illusion for a long time.

...

But that's not what he asked Blood Pupil to do.

What the Blood Pupil has to do is to create a memory of Xiaoman, similar to implantation, into the minds of the villagers, so that they can experience Xiaoman's life again.

This kind of third-party memory, after a period of time, not only the subconscious will find the error, but the main consciousness will also find out that something is wrong.

If it's crazy, unless...

Li Yi'an seemed to think of something, and immediately asked at the blood pupil, "Blood pupil, how many times have you used illusions on them?"

The sword spirit of the Blood Pupil Sword, the Blood Pupil, has no body, she is just transformed according to the will of the forger, and gives some humanity.

As for the subsequent growth of the sword spirit, it depends on the material of its sword body and the way it is conceived.

A flying sword like Blood Pupil, which used to be of a high grade, not to mention the extent of damage to her sword body now, the way her sword spirit thinks, acts and so on, are no different from ordinary people.

It can be clearly seen that after hearing this, the blood pupil swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, of course, no one knows what she swallowed.

But it's clear that Li Yi'an got to the point.

Without saying a word, she stretched out her right hand, which was clenched into a fist.

One finger, two fingers... Gradually, the third, the fourth....

"Five times?"

Li Yi'an said it in a lost voice.

The illusion is to deceive the brain, the first time, the second time, as long as the illusion is over, people will gradually regain their consciousness.

But if it is three, four, or five times, it is like hypnosis, and these villagers will become more and more convinced that there is nothing wrong with memory, that they are Xiaoman, and that everything Xiaoman has experienced is everything he has experienced.

Blood Pupil knew that Li Yi'an had guessed something, but it seemed that the matter was far from over.

"The hosts... I, I controlled the flow of time in the illusion. ”

"What do you mean, Sister Blood Pupil!" Xiao Tian didn't know much about illusions, and was a little curious.

Li Yi'an cupped his forehead and said helplessly: "People in the illusion often have no concept of time, just like a dream, you think that only an hour has passed in a fantasy, in fact, a day may have passed in reality." And I guess what the blood pupil did, on the contrary, he made the content of the day go through in ten minutes. ”

He paused and continued, "Not only that, but he let this go on a full five times!"

Xiao Tian didn't realize the seriousness of the matter, and asked again: "This... Does it make a difference?"

Li Yi'an slapped Xiaotian on the back of the head.

"Ouch, boss, what are you doing, it hurts!"

"It hurts. ”

Just when Xiao Tian was a little confused, Li Yi'an controlled Xiao Tian with Zhenyuan, slapped him on the back of the head five times in a row, and then looked at Xiao Tian and asked him how he felt.

Xiao Tian was stunned for a while before he came back to his senses, squatted on the ground with his little head and scolded and said, "You bastard, you don't drive Zhenyuan !! your uncle's !!"

Li Yi'an didn't hear it, looked at the blood pupil, and asked Xiaotian, "Do you understand?"

"Understood... What, you know a fart, you'd better give me an explanation!"

"What's the difference between one slap and five slaps?"

Xiao Tian stomped his feet angrily, and jumped up like beating the back of Li Yi'an's head, but he was not as tall as Li Yi'an, so he was held down by him.

"Your comprehension really needs to be improved! Your reaction just now is the reaction of the brain! A slap hurts, but if you slap it down for five times, you will be confused, and the brain is the same, he can't react, if he is brushed five times, he may even think that the illusion is real!"

After listening to this, Xiaotian covered his head and stopped making trouble.

"That's... What if the brain reacts?"

"What do you say, after you have reacted to the five slaps, how much it hurts, and how broken those villagers are now. What is the reaction after you just reacted, and what is their reaction. ”

Li Yi'an dragged Xiaotian, pulled him who was still in a daze, and walked towards the outside of the forest.

But the blood pupil stopped Li Yi'an again...

"You... What else did you do that I don't know?"

When Li Yi'an asked this, he was afraid, after all, these illusions were performed by the blood pupil himself.

"I... I'm even adding a play!"

"Add drama?"

The blood pupil really didn't dare to appear in front of Li Yi'an this time, and hid in the sword body before saying quickly.

"I... Xiaoman's memory, I haven't seen it, so in the illusion I created, Xiaoman's life is based on what I've been exposed to these days, losing my parents since I was a child, being bullied by children of the same age, and suffering from the eyes of neighbors... As well as the bullying of the disciples of the Immortal Sect in the sentry camp... This... It's the first time."

"And what about the second time!"

This time, the blood pupil was more refreshing and did not hide it.

She quickly introduced what scenes were added from the second to the fifth time and what the content of the scenes was at a rate of ten words per second.

"The second time... Xiaoman and Xiaoxue met, but the bullies in the village coveted Xiaoxue's beauty, and in the end, Xiaoxue died at the hands of the bullies... The third time... Add a little drama. When Xiaoman's parents were alive, they were engaged to the granddaughter of the old village chief, after the death of their parents, the granddaughter of the old village chief fornicated with other men, and joined forces to murder Xiaoman, Xiaoman met Xiaoxue on the way to escape, and the two fell in love, but on the day of the wedding, they were killed by the disciples of Xianzong and took the demon pill. The third time... Fourthly... For the fifth time... Parents are dead, Xiaoxue is dead, fiancée is dead, siblings are dead, children are dead, villagers are dead,..."

When the blood pupil finished speaking, he saw that Li Yi'an and Xiao Tian's eyes were completely dull, and the corners of their mouths kept twitching, looking at the blood pupil with an extremely strange expression, not knowing whether to praise the blood pupil who was so diligent.

Even the brothers and sisters and children have been sorted out.

She knew that something was wrong, and wanted to run to Li Yi'an's space ring to hide.

But without Li Yi'an's opening, she couldn't get in at all, and only what she could go there was left.

With a 'poof', she entered the scabbard, and without saying a word, the body of the sword seemed to tremble a little.

Xiao Tian mechanically turned his neck and glanced at the blood pupil behind Li Yi'an.

"My sister blood pupil, it's really awesome~ If I want to experience the fantasy world, that Xiaoman's miserable life, I might as well judge myself. ”

Hearing Xiaotian's voice, Li Yi'an came back to his senses.

"Xiaoman has a grudge against you, or do those villagers have a grudge against you?"

When the blood pupil heard this, he didn't say a word...

After listening to Xuetong's story, Li Yi'an felt that what Xuetong is doing now, no matter who falls on his head, it is better to experience such a 'chic' life.

But it's come to this, this mess still has to be cleaned up.

...

Not long after, before Li Yi'an and the others got close to the group of villagers, they had already heard bursts of crying and heart-rending shouts.

"It's you, you've laughed at me since I was a child for not having a father, I'll kill you..."

"Hmph, you bastard, you actually killed my Xiaoxue, I want to avenge her..."

"You bastard, I'll kill you!"

...

The sound was noisy, some people sat on the ground and were distracted, and some people fought each other.

What's more, some villagers are even questioning other villagers.

"Hey, do you know where the village chief's granddaughter has gone? I'm going to kill that slut!"

But the old village chief has no granddaughter... Everyone is still single at an age, and what's even more excessive is that this villager who is looking for the granddaughter of the old village chief is a woman...

"This..."

Xiao Tian had already seen that this group of villagers was unhappy.

But now when I see these pictures, I have a trace of pity in my heart.

In his subconscious, he had a trace of fear for the blood pupil sword with strange eyes, and his footsteps even unconsciously left Li Yi'an two or three steps, unwilling to get so close to the blood pupil sword behind him.

But the Blood Pupil Sword seemed to have a sense, and after opening his eyes, Xiao Tian obediently walked back.

"Mom, the boss can fight in the future, but Sister Blood Pupil can't be bullied!"

This is the creed in Xiaotian's heart now, and it must always be remembered and not forgotten!

...

At this time, a small group of people with torches walked towards the crazy group of villagers from the direction of the village.

It was the old village chief who took the lead, as well as some villagers who felt guilty about Xiao Man and were unwilling to bring Immortal Sect disciples to this cedar forest.

Previously, as soon as the woman who was looking for the old village chief's granddaughter saw the old village chief, she immediately used her third-order True Yuan of the Qi Gathering Realm and pounced on the old village chief.

"Village chief, where are the dog men and women!

The old village chief was obviously frightened by the sudden woman.

Didn't you bring the disciples of the Immortal Sect to find Xiao Man and that Xiao An? What kind of dog man and woman?

Although he had doubts in his heart, he instinctively used the true yuan to defend himself.

"You... Liu, are you crazy, what kind of dog man and woman?"

"You, your granddaughter, teamed up with that man to harm me!"

"Granddaughter? I'm afraid you're crazy? I've never married a wife in my life, where did I get any granddaughter?"

The old village chief knocked the woman away with Zhenyuan.

With a "crunch", the woman fell into the snow, as if she was woken up by the old village chief's words, but she was still entangled in her memory.

"No, you have a granddaughter, her name is... Her name is... Why can't I remember what she looked like, her name... Why, shouldn't, I shouldn't forget... No... No... This is fake, the village chief has never married a wife, how can there be a granddaughter?..."

Not only that, but some of the villagers saw the old village chief.

One, two, three...

The villagers all ran to the old village chief and asked the old village chief where his granddaughter had gone, and where the dog man and woman were.

The old village chief stomped his feet in a hurry, and ordered the villagers who came with him behind him to join hands to subdue them and press them to the ground.

At this time, the old village chief had already seen Li Yi'an and the others standing not far away.

Fools know that if Li Yi'an and the two of them are safe and sound, then the disciples of the Immortal Sect must have had something wrong, or even died.

And the strangeness of the villagers present now must also be related to them.

He immediately ordered the villagers behind him to appease the group of villagers who were now crazy, so that they should not fight each other and not fight each other....

Then, he hurriedly walked towards Li Yi'an and the others.

But he was halfway through the race and finally remembered that something was wrong.

What about Xiaoman?

He looked back at the crazy group of villagers, but still couldn't find them.

After retracting his gaze, he walked briskly in the snow while constantly looking behind Li Yi'an and the others.

"Little... Xiao An, Xiao Tian, what's going on? And Xiao Man, and that snow python Xiao Xue?"

The people in this village, if anyone can make Li Yi'an look a little more pleasing to the eye, it is only the old man with white hair in front of him.

"You, you're talking... Speak..."

The old village chief knelt in front of Li Yi'an anxiously, and Li Yi'an was also a little distressed when he saw it, thinking about Xiaoman, he wouldn't want to see this scene.

He immediately helped the old village chief up and said, "Old village chief, don't worry, they are just hallucinating, I have a way to get rid of it." ”

The old village chief hurriedly wiped his tears with his sleeve, looked up at Li Yi'an and confirmed, "Really?"

"Yes, don't worry, the villagers will be fine"

After he finished speaking, he had already transmitted the message to the blood pupil.

"Blood Pupil, you extract the memories of the villagers, and then let them experience their lives a few times, so that their memories gradually return to normal!"

The blood pupils flew out with a 'poof', she was afraid that Li Yi'an would blame her, and now that Li Yi'an had thought of a countermeasure, she couldn't wait to let the group of villagers recover immediately.

"Good hosts, but... It can be time-consuming because you also have to read the memory. ”

Li Yi'an nodded: "Go quickly, by the way, while you check their memories, help me record one thing... These people, all of them are recorded."

Hearing this, Blood Pupil hesitated for a moment, and immediately smiled: "Okay master, don't worry, leave it to me, I will definitely not mess it up this time." ”

Seeing the blood pupils fly out, the old village chief knew that Li Yi'an had already dealt with the group of crazy villagers.

He immediately asked about Xiaoman and Xiaoxue again.

Li Yi'an glanced at him lightly and said, "Xiaoman and Xiaoxue, dead!"

Xiaotian's eyes lit up, he thought that Li Yi'an would tell the truth, but he didn't expect Li Yi'an to tell a lie.

The old village chief looked at Li Yi'an, with questioning eyes, and confirmed it twice.

"Dead, dead?"

Li Yi'an nodded heavily, and moved his gaze to Xiao Tian.

Although Xiao Tian didn't know what the reason was, when he saw Li Yi'an and the old village chief's eyes falling on him, he could only bite the bullet and keep it consistent with what his boss said.

"Well, dead, they're all dead. ”

The old village chief sat on the ground with his buttocks, and slapped the snow with his hands helplessly and wept bitterly.

"I, I told him a long time ago that I was going to lose that snow python, he just didn't listen, I watched this child grow up since he was a child, how hard it was for him to live, how could I not know... But as the head of a village, hundreds of people, how can I have a heart of favoritism, and I have to look for food under the demon clan in this twilight ice field, and I have to deal with the disciples of the Immortal Sect, and strive for less supplies for the villagers... Yes, I'm useless, I'm useless... Xiaoman..."

Xiao Tian looked at Li Yi'an, and saw that Li Yi'an's face had not changed in the slightest, and he couldn't help this poor old man.

"Old village chief, have you considered going south?"

After a while, Li Yi'an said lightly.

When the old village chief heard this, he looked up at Li Yi'an, and then at the villagers in the distance who were gradually pacified by the blood pupils.

"Young man, when I was young, I also had this idea, but I didn't have the right and ability to decide on a village and hundreds of people going south, such a big thing. ”

He paused and continued.

"But when I became the head of the village, when I had this decision-making power, I was sixty-two years old, and when I was young, I didn't dare to think about it at this age, and the older I was, the more I worried. Don't talk about them, I don't dare to think about the southward journey anymore. What's more, this is where my ancestors have lived for generations, we know the rules of survival here, even if there is oppression by the disciples of the Immortal Sect, we can find a suitable way for us to survive between the demon clan and the disciples of the Immortal Sect. But if I go south, with my cultivation of the ninth order of the Qi Gathering Realm, if I am not careful, there will be hundreds of people in this village, and it will be gone. I'm afraid..."

Seeing that his mood had stabilized a little, Li Yi'an helped him up and stretched out his finger to point to the burning cedar forest behind him.

"Old village chief, as soon as this fire burns, your life will be even more difficult!"

The old village chief sank in his heart and said, "Why!"

"Because of the burning of this forest, the sentry camp near here will definitely take action in the near future. Secondly, Xiaoxue is a demon and died near your village. Let's go south, there is a city on the fourth front, the security in the city is relatively good, and you are monks, you are in the Sky Wolf Mountain Range every day, do some demon hunting teams, and it is not a problem to make a living. ”

As he spoke, Li Yi'an took out two more space rings from the space ring, one of which was a silver tael for daily needs, and the other was some spirit stones.

He quickly handed the two rings to the village chief's hand and asked him to hold them tightly: "This is what Xiaoman asked me to hand over to you, and it is also his intention to go south." ”

When the old village chief probed the number of silver taels and the number of spirit stones in the space ring, his expression suddenly became a little excited, the wealth in this is their village, and it is impossible to accumulate it in several lifetimes.

And now, Li Yi'an gave it to him.

"Sore, the space ring?"

Li Yi'an nodded heavily, and reminded again: "What Xiaoman asked me to give you, hide it and don't let other villagers see it." ”

The old village chief has lived all his life, how can he not know that wealth can make people greedy and crazy, for example, the disciples of the Immortal Sect in the sentry camp are becoming more and more greedy day after day, year after year.

"Xiaoman..."

The old village chief muttered to himself, as if he was remorseful.

Maybe back then, when he became the village head, he should have gone south immediately, and he wouldn't have so many regrets when he got old.

...
