The trail has been unwalked for a long time, the trail is overgrown with weeds and the steps are covered with moss.

On both sides of the path, the lush trees almost obscured the view, and some of the roots of the trees were laid on the stone steps, blocking the way.

"It's a barren mountain."

"Barren mountains or something, is that what we humans are called? That's how the mountain should be. ”

The Black Thorns were discussing "the original appearance of the mountain", and the discussion was very enjoyable.

Kanda and Link, one left and one right, used their knives to cut the branches of the trees that were stuck in the road, and the trees were too dense to walk.

Li Xianhua was very nimble in and out of the gaps between the branches, and soon left the others behind.

"Hey! Slow down! White-haired monkeys! Kanda was upset, "How did he go so fast?" ”

"Lord Instanta seems to be very familiar with this generation, as if he has been here before." Link speculated.

Have you ever been there? Aryadi looked at Li Xianhua's back.

Hmmm――

Everyone turned around, but it was Aryadi who turned into a demon and flew to the top of the mountain.

The demon transformed, then flew away but did not attack us.

The crowd was stunned by this sense of absurdity, and it took a few seconds to react: "Lady Aryadi! Take us along! ”

Li Xianhua is no longer visible, and all he can see is Ariadi who is far away in the sky, flying farther and farther.

"Unconsciously, do we trust that demon so much? Can humans coexist with demons? Link thought it was ridiculous, but on the hillside that night, the scene of Arya Di giving up her body in front of Li Xianhua was still vivid, and it was his memory that produced a strong sense of tearing.

"Hey, your name is Link, right? Aren't you going to set fires? Burn these weeds. Kanda was tired of watching the tree branches, and turned to Link and said.

“”

"Are you listening when I'm talking to you?"

“”

"Don't you listen to anyone? It's infuriating! "Kanda is powerful at this time, and there is nowhere to go.

"Six Illusions! Launch! Clean-worm! ”

"Hey, hey, hey! Kanda-sama! Trees like you will fall! Oops, get out of the way! ”

When Li Xianhua reached the top of the mountain, Aryadi had been waiting there for a long time. The blonde beauty turned her back to him, and looked at the dilapidated ancient temple in front of her with her hands behind her back: one of the gates had fallen down, and the other had creaked and hung on the door frame, crumbling; The waist-length walls make it easy to see the temple at a glance - one collapsed house after another and ruins, except for one side hall that is still relatively well preserved.

"Didn't you say you hated the way you looked like a demon?" Li Xianhua was a little surprised, Aryadi, who held a mirror and felt sorry for himself all day long, would actually turn into a demon and fly up this time.

"Convenient, isn't it? Anyway, it doesn't make a difference between demons and humans in your eyes, right? Puzzled fellow," Aryadi disagreed, "is this what you want to see?" It's boring. I thought there was a woman waiting for you here, and I thought I would come and kill her sooner."

Li Xianhua rolled his eyes when he heard this, and couldn't help but pat Aryadi on the shoulder: "Actually, I have always had a love for the female marshal of the Black Order, Glaude, go and get rid of her, and by the way, kill her pet that can only eat." ”

"Do you really like her?" Aryadi was a little nervous.

"Lie to you! As a demon, you can't even lie, so I'm here to set you an example. ”

Li Xianhua shook his head and walked towards the temple.

"It's not going to make people happy at all!" Aryadi kicked the door, and the door that hung on the door frame flew into the temple, stirring up waves of dust in the courtyard.

This is Qixia Temple, the temple where Mingkong was located back then.

There are broken walls and ruins everywhere, and the ground that was corroded by the demon virus is now overgrown with flowers and plants, quietly exuding fragrance in the moonlight.

"That's what it looks like on Maoshan now, right?" Li Xianhua squatted down and gently fiddled with the flowers and plants on the ground with his hands.

Aryadi also leaned down beside Li Xianhua: "Is there anyone you know here?" When did she meet you? ”

Li Xianhua looked at Aryadi's big eyes and couldn't help laughing: "Man." ”

"Huh?"

"It's not her, it's him. Like you, saved my life. ”

Aryadi seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and sat down beside Li Xianhua: "No wonder you insist on getting off the boat here. What kind of man is he? ”

"It's an old and funny monk, you know that you talk to yourself, and you're a very nagging person," Li Xianhua couldn't go on.

The clear moonlight sprinkled on Li Xianhua's face, and Li Xianhua, who was caught in memory, looked pious, as if there was an extra kind of divinity.

"It's beautiful"

Aryadi looked at Li Xianhua, and at that moment, she felt that the Li Xianhua she was thinking about was beautiful, or the memory he was thinking about was beautiful—it seemed to be something more beautiful than her appearance, just like the love between men and women, which had no substance, but was extremely moving.

Maybe it's because of these things that human beings become beautiful?

"That's nice, human memory." Aryadi couldn't help but speak.

"You also have your own memories, why should you envy others?" Li Xianhua looked at her puzzled.

"I have so few memories and they're not beautiful."

"There are not many memories like this, it depends on whether they are unforgettable," Li Xianhua comforted Aryadi, "Your memories are already more wonderful than most human beings." ”

"Is that so?"

Crisp applause suddenly came from the side hall not far away.

"Of course, who's there!"

Li Xianhua immediately drew his gun and aimed it at the side hall.

A thin figure raised his hands and walked from the dark side hall to the moonlight in the courtyard.

The person who came had a kind face, a smile on the corner of his mouth, and was wearing a red monk's robe, which was cut by a tree branch, revealing the white undergarment inside.

"Cardinal?" Li Xianhua's eyes sharpened, and he carefully sensed whether there were still people in ambush nearby, but there was no one.

Aryadi, who was on the side, also stood up.

"My name is Paul, and I'm a cardinal of the Vatican."

Paul raised his hands and took a step to the left, aiming his chest at the muzzle of Li Xianhua's gun, while not forgetting to give a smile to the two people in front of him.

"You" Li Xianhua frowned.

"Lord Instantaneous, I beg you to give me a chance to speak."

"Say it."

"First of all, I am a real cardinal, not an impostor who once attacked you."

Li Xianhua raised his eyebrows: "Good opening remarks, continue." ”

"It seems that you won't trust me easily."

"What do you say?"

"Yes. Attacked by that inhuman creature in the name of the cardinal, suspicion was inevitable. ”

“”

"Is that okay?"

In Li Xianhua's stunned eyes, Paul calmly took off all the clothes on his body and stood there naked.

"I don't have any weapons, you can also ask your demon friends to check if I'm human."

"No, I can judge for myself," Li Xianhua put down the gun, "It's hard for you to gain my trust in this way." ”

"Thank you for your understanding."

"Now tell me where you came from and why you appeared in Qixia Temple."

"Okay, Lord Instant. Can I get dressed first, though? ”

"Of course."

There was a sound of messy footsteps outside the temple, and Kanda walked in first, and saw Paul's white body in the moonlight and the gun in Li Xianhua's hand.

"Li Xianhua! What are you doing! Kanda's eyes widened.

"Holy, you're here at the right time."
