Sioux City.

At noon, although there was little smoke, it was still time for lunch.

In the reinforced concrete city, although there is no fragrant cooking smoke floating for ten miles, there is still an expectation of waiting for people to return at home.

There was a small sound in the kitchen, between the sound of water and the sound of chopsticks, but the smell of continuing the meal was missing.

A delicate woman walked out of the kitchen slowly, wearing a loose set of blue and white plaid pajamas, which did not fit this figure.

The woman casually walked to the rattan chair in the living room and sat down, this rattan chair was old and yellow, and it was really some years.

The sunlight spilled in from the floor-to-ceiling windows, reflecting the woman's fair skin and delicate eyebrows, but it also looked a little more moving.

The warm sun of late autumn brings a little warmth, the room is not big, and it seems a little warm at the moment, but this pretty woman is here alone, and it still looks a little deserted.

"Ding Ding ~~~~~"

At this quiet moment, there was a doorbell ringing at the door.

Bao'er didn't get up either, and said casually.

"The door is unlocked. ”

It wasn't loud, but the people outside the door seemed to hear it.

A white cotton cloth dragged into the wooden floor of the room, but it didn't make much noise.

Hidden by a wide white bathrobe, only a small white calf could be seen.

The visitor walked into the room and sat straight on the sofa, with big wavy curls, lined with delicate facial features, and the shallow white tenderness of the neckline of the bathrobe was more mature and tempting.

"He's gone to get the Heart Flame?"

Wang Pei said casually and looked at the living room by himself.

The living room is not big, a simple family of three, but the retro brass chandeliers, tables and chairs have the feeling of the eighties and nineties, and even the vase on the wall has a sense of being old for ten or twenty years.

If it weren't for Bao'er's blue and white plaid pajamas, it really made Wang Pei wonder if he was in the wrong place.

"Hmm. ”

Bao'er replied simply, looking at the small garden outside the floor-to-ceiling window, There is a small cluster of osmanthus flowers in the garden, which is barely the tail of the flowering period at the moment, and you can vaguely see some yellowing and decaying stamens.

It's just that even if it's just a little bit of a flower stamen, the aroma is rich and long.

Wang Pei looked around casually, hesitated, and still talked about business.

“.......... It seems that something is wrong with the Heavenly Master Inheritance Qi Yun you gave me last time. ”

Bao'er's eyes did not change, and she couldn't even see any other emotions on her face, and said lightly.

"I didn't give it to you, if you have any questions, when he comes back, ask him directly. ”

Wang Pei's face changed slightly when he heard this, and he glanced at Bao'er, and he really didn't understand what Bao'er meant for a while.

In fact, that day, when Wang Pei got the power of the Heavenly Master's inheritance from Ye Xiaogu, he had the heart to help Ye Xiaogu get through the difficulties.

It's just that Bao'er told Wang Pei in advance that he had to leave immediately if he got the power of the Heavenly Master's inheritance, and Wang Pei didn't think much about it for a while, and left directly.

Wang Pei thought that Bao'er had been prepared or left a helper, but when he saw Ye Xiao alone and came to ask for help, he couldn't help but be slightly surprised for a while, but Bao'er had something to say first, and Wang Pei didn't make a move.

At this moment, Wang Pei found that there was a problem with the power of the Heavenly Master's inheritance, and came to Bao'er again.

Bao'er looked indifferent, as if it was none of her business, which inevitably made Wang Pei a little stunned.

When Ye Xiaogu needed him the most, Wang Pei took the power of the Heavenly Master's inheritance and left, and Ye Xiaogu's powerlessness and despair at that time can also be imagined.

Even, when Ye Xiaogu came to Wang Pei for the second time, Wang Pei indifferently refused, even if Ye Xiaogu was peaceful, it would be difficult for him to have a good face for Wang Pei.

Now Bao'er actually asked Wang Pei to find Ye Xiaogu by himself, not to mention the deep meaning of this, Wang Pei must have been tricked by Ye Xiaogu a few times.

In his mind, Wang Peiyou looked at Bao'er and wondered.

"Do you really want me to go to him?"

Bao'er looked at the osmanthus bush and said lightly.

"You don't have to look for him, he knows to come back, you just have to wait here. ”

When Wang Pei heard this, he frowned slightly, and glanced at Bao'er suspiciously, but he didn't say anything.

“......................”

In the silence, Bao'er seemed to suddenly breathe a sigh of relief, stretched her arms, and said casually.

"How does this house feel?"

Wang Pei frowned slightly, looked at Bao'er, and said truthfully.

"It's okay, it's just a little old. ”

Bao'er twisted her neck and said casually.

"It's not old, the kitchen is new, the dishwasher and all kinds of appliances. It's just that this place is really a few years old....."

"Have you been busy over there lately?"

Bao'er said a few words casually, but the conversation changed sharply, from the house to Wang Pei.

Wang Pei subconsciously looked at Bao'er, and saw that her face was the same as before, and he couldn't see any emotion, so he responded casually.

"It's not a big deal, I have nothing to keep busy. ”

"Let's move in for a few days. ”

Wang Pei finished speaking casually, but Bao'er said a suggestion with a casual face that surprised Wang Pei.

Wang Pei frowned slightly, glanced at Bao'er, and said with some hesitation.

"It's ....... Isn't it a good fit for your little family?"

When Bao'er heard this, she looked up at Wang Pei, which made Wang Pei a little puzzled, and she didn't know what she said wrong.

"My two children and I will go back to Nanshi first, and you wait for him to come back, and then take him to the Longmen Conference to have a look. ”

Wang Pei frowned slightly, and subconsciously wanted to say a few more words, but Bao'er just got up straight and walked into the back room, and Wang Pei couldn't catch up and say more.

It's just that between his thoughts, Wang Pei still can't help but have some doubts, and he doesn't know what Bao'er is planning.

And Ye Xiaogu, who was suffering in the distant desert, didn't know that Bao'er's words were clear to him.

.............................................................................................

In the endless yellow sand, the occasional rising wind seems to be a little hot.

The sun overhead has never changed its direction for a moment, and people can't wait to give it a certificate of dedication.

In the middle of the desert, a man in a black suit and a white mask looked a little abrupt in the boundless yellow sand.

“...........................”

His lips were already chapped and bleeding, and even his throat was a little itchy and unspeakably dry.

Ye Xiaogu didn't notice it at first, but at this moment, he unconsciously discovered the most terrifying thing in this desert.

Parched.

This kind of temperature is not like the ordinary scorching sun, the temperature is not high, but this scorching heat can be felt from every position in the body, from the outside to the inside, and even the organs in the body are suffering from this scorching.

Ye Xiaogu weakly took off the black blazer on his body, leaving only a white shirt, but there was no change.

The thunder light on his right arm had long since faded, because Ye Xiaogu finally understood something.

That is, there seems to be no other living creature in this desert except Ye Xiaogu, not even a reptile, let alone anything else.

There was no direction, no time, and everything seemed to fall into an indescribable silence.

By the time Ye Xiaogu finally came up with a term that he hadn't thought of for a long time, Ye Xiaogu was almost fainting.

“.............. Formation?"

There is a difference between time and place between heaven and earth, and I should have thought that this place is not divided into north, south, east and west, the scorching sun is on the head, and there is no change of morning and dusk.

A thought flashed in his mind, and Ye Xiaogu's almost evaporated mind finally barely had some hope.

"Dead horses are treated as live horse doctors. ”

Ye Xiaogu thought secretly in his heart, in fact, he didn't know much about the so-called formation Ye Xiaogu.

When I was in Maoshan, I read a little book with pictures, but I didn't even have half a jar of water.

It's just that now that he is trapped here, Ye Xiaogu has no other way to think about it.

The so-called formation, a period of law, there are hidden rules, the way to break the formation lies in the solution, first look at and then solve, distinguish things, distinguish life and death, and only then can it be regarded as a start.

In this endless yellow sand, Ye Xiaogu actually watched for most of the day, but there was really nothing to refer to here.

Whether it's the sand dunes on the ground or the sun in the sky, they are all the same, and there is not the slightest clue to be found.

The only thing that can be called a change may be the gusts of wind that rise from time to time in the long yellow sand.

The wind was like a small whirlwind, rising suddenly, unharmed, but with a little yellow sand and dust, and then suddenly dispersed, and there was no trace of it.

“......... It seems that this is the key. ”

Ye Xiaogu frowned slightly, there was another gust of wind in the distance, and it still dissipated in an instant, but Ye Xiaogu's gaze inevitably condensed slightly, and he secretly made a decision in his heart.

It's just that although he found the variables in this formation, Ye Xiaogu wanted to find other clues, but he was a little embarrassed for a while.

In his mind, Ye Xiaogu was about to look at it carefully for a while, but he didn't expect his brain to sink, and he was dizzy in the back of his head, and he couldn't bear it.

"No way, fight it!"

As soon as the thought came to him, Ye Xiaogu stretched out his finger and took a bite.

If this method was before, Ye Xiaogu was afraid that he would really have to be afraid for a while, but as the so-called heart and blood are connected, Ye Xiaogu does not have a yellow Fu Dao guide, and the only thing that can be used is really this blood.

After taking a bite, Ye Xiaogu didn't even feel any pain, just watched two or three drops of blood fall on the yellow sand in front of him, and vaguely felt that he had bitten this finger open.

The dizziness in the back of the head and the weakness of the hands and feet became more and more serious, Ye Xiaogu didn't dare to think about it, his eyes were confused, he was calm, and he felt the spiritual qi movement in this side of the world.

The aura of the world is divided into five elements and five colors, green wood, red flame...... And so on.

When Ye Xiaogu closed his eyes slightly, the things in his perception gradually changed, and the yellow sand in the sky suddenly emptied, and only a blind was left between the heaven and the earth.

Gentle but also extremely pure fire spirit.

In the endless red, the surrounding yellow sand suddenly dissipated, and only a trace of aura remained.

This flame was not as hot as imagined, but gentle and pure, suspended in front of Ye Xiao's lonely body, like the size of a ball of yarn.

It's just that the firelight emitted around this flame is almost indistinguishable, filling the entire space.

Or rather, the whole space is just this flame covered in a layer of yellow sand.

Ye Xiaogu was calm, and the dizziness and weakness in his mind made Ye Xiaogu feel that his head was about to turn around.

Ye Xiaogu's original definition of this place was just a trap formation, but after concentrating and calming down, this place was just burying this smell of fire spirit.

For a while, Ye Xiaogu didn't know what to do.

Take it out? Let's continue to see if there is a so-called border.

Between his thoughts, Ye Xiaogu was about to think about it again, when his brain suddenly sank, his eyes darkened, and he directly lost consciousness.

Ye Xiaogu has been scorched by the Heart Refining Flame for so long in this long yellow sand, if ordinary people can't bear it for a long time, only Ye Xiaogu and the Ninth World Curse Seal are borne by Bao'er Most of the pain, so they can be regarded as resisting for a while.

It's just that even if there is a Ninth World Curse Seal and Bao'er are connected to each other, but Ye Xiaogu does not have Bao'er's strong physique after all, Bao'er can still bear it, Ye Xiaogu only carries a small half, and he can't hold it anymore.

It was dark in front of him, and he just stood straight and passed out.

“............... Sure enough, it still doesn't work? Am I being too careful?"

In the long yellow sand, a middle-aged man whispered to himself, he was standing only a hundred and ten meters away behind Ye Xiaogu, and he also looked at it for a long time, but Ye Xiaogu was still completely ignorant.

Not to mention Ye Xiaogu's performance at the moment, this heart refining flame is not easy to come by. Although the temperature of this heart refining flame is not high, and it can neither make a weapon nor alchemy, but in the end, it still took a lot of effort.

Middle-aged men naturally value it very much.

This heart refining flame is where the anode is, the strength is long, and it is vast and remote, but ordinary people can't control it, and even in the Heavenly Gate, few people will fight this thing.

It is rumored that this Heart Refining Flame can repair the defects of the life personality, repair the yin damage of the Yuan body, and repair the yin to supplement the yang, which is the only treasure in the world.

It's just that at that time, not to mention whether there were people who had a natural life personality and were depleted, even if there were, it was not necessarily known whether they could withstand the scorching of this heart refining flame.

This is also the reason why the old man's heart is so open.

You Feng Bao'er dare to ask for this Heart Refining Flame, and I dare to give it to Tianmen, but whether I can take it or not is not my Tianmen's problem.

Although the temperature of this Heart Refining Flame is far less than that of other fire spiritual flames in the world, even ordinary firewood is afraid that it is higher than this Heart Refining Flame.

However, this heart refining flame is condensed by yang energy, and the qi is long, and the yang energy is extreme.

Even if the masters in the Heavenly Gate could withstand it for a day or two, they couldn't absorb the power of this Heart Refining Flame.

After all, all things in the world have their own balance of yin and yang energy, and even if there is a defect, it only needs medicine or exercises to warm up.

If it really comes time to balance the yin and yang of the life grid with this heart refining flame, I am afraid that this person will not know how strong the life grid is.

“........................”

Between thoughts, the middle-aged man looked at Ye Xiaogu in the distance, and was silent for a while.

Ye Xiao was lonely in a white shirt, standing on his own, his head drooping, accompanied by his gradually weakening breathing, it seemed that the situation was difficult to be optimistic.

It's just that middle-aged people won't help in the end.

He just came to see if it was possible for Ye Xiaogu to take out the Heart Refining Flame, if there was such a possibility, as one of the main affairs of the Heavenly Gate, he naturally didn't mind using some means to hinder it.

However, at the moment, this Ye Xiaogu really doesn't seem to understand anything.

I broke into here in a daze, and then put a few thunder balls into the sky and stood there all the time, not knowing what was going on in my head.

Finally, he took off his coat and stood with his eyes closed, as if feeling the traces of the aura here.

The middle-aged man was still a little interested, but he didn't expect Ye Xiaogu to pass out like this when he closed his eyes and stared.

It really made the middle-aged man almost kneel down for Ye Xiaogu.

“........... Rotten wood can't be carved, it seems that this Feng Bao'er is really blind, it's really talented, let him, a small character who has not practiced, come to take this heart refining flame, isn't it asking for hardship? . ”

After watching it for a while, even if the middle-aged man was cautious and cautious in his heart, it was really difficult to think about Ye Xiaogu's performance.

Turning around, the middle-aged man left directly.

This place is sealed with Heart Refining Flames, not only the power of this Heart Refining Flame overflowing, but also these many formations.

No matter how Ye Xiaogu pretends, he has been staying here for almost half an hour now, and a person with such a humble cultivation can't bear the scorching heat of this heart refining flame.

What's more, until now, Ye Xiaogu hadn't even broken a formation.

It's no wonder that the middle-aged man confidently turned around and left.

Not long after the middle-aged man left, the entire desert fell silent again.

Ye Xiaogu stood in place, his chapped lips and pale face, and he didn't have any energy, and he didn't even raise his head with a drooping head.

The corners of the white shirt fluttered slightly with the wind blowing from time to time, vaguely revealing the black Sanskrit on the waist, and wisps of black air rose secretly.

In the long yellow sand, the black qi on Ye Xiaogu's body gradually became stronger, and there was even a faint sense of abruptness.

Although there was no energy, the heaven and earth seemed to have come to a standstill, and even the wind that blew from time to time in the desert suddenly dissipated at some point.

The black qi lingered, and dense black Sanskrit appeared on Ye Xiaogu's body, and for a while, it was like the return of the Yaksha of the underworld, gloomy and indescribable.

In the midst of this silence, a small orange-yellow flame suddenly rose slowly in the long yellow sand, rootless and sourceless, but it was full of righteousness and energy, very beautiful.

After passing through the hidden formation, without Ye Xiaogu's search, this Heart Refining Flame appeared in front of Ye Xiaogu by itself.

Yin and yang attract, this heart refining flame is originally owned by him, and it is naturally moved for him.

Ye Xiaogu lowered his head, and his black hand stretched out to drag the heart refining flame.

The moment the two touched, everything around them suddenly shook, and the yellow sand in the sky suddenly came together, setting off an endless storm!

"Boom !!"

The middle-aged man had already reached the boundary and was about to lead the way.

On this day, the earthquake trembled, but he looked at the huge storm that swept behind him with a shocked face.
