Tang Lin and Xiao Zibai rushed out of the crack hand in hand.

The butterfly girl in the territory of Lang Huan Immortal didn't care about their whereabouts at all, it laboriously pulled out a lifeless fox corpse from the layers of flesh and blood, and desperately pounced on the sparks that ignited on the fox's withered fur. The wound on her waist and abdomen continued to seep blood out with the fluttering action, but the butterfly girl seemed to be unconscious, allowing the pale green blood to wet her dress little by little.

The "flower fertilizers" around it lay on their backs, crackling from the blazing white flames.

Before the cracked space was closed, Tang Lin didn't know why, and the ghost envoy glanced into the "fairyland", the flames in the sea of flowers were raging, slowly burning half of the butterfly demon's wounded wings dragged on the ground.

And the butterfly demon hugged the fox's corpse tightly, as if it didn't notice it, but at the last moment, it raised its eyes indifferently and looked at Tang Lin for a few seconds.

There was no more expression in the butterfly demon's eyes, only a dead silence.

The crack closed silently in front of Tang Lin's eyes, locking the sea of fire, the crackling and burning "flower fertilizer" and the butterfly demon holding the fox corpse. The blue sky and light clouds fluttered lightly, and then they returned to calm, and only the spring breeze was blowing the willows in front of me. The grass at the end of his nose was slightly fragrant, and the birdsong in his ears was tactful, Xiao Zibai turned around and hugged Tang Lin, and sighed softly: "...... survived. He said softly.

In the sky behind them, the gap connecting the central world and the Langhuan Wonderland had disappeared, as if it had never existed.

Lang Huan Wonderland disappeared from this world, and no one heard about it again.

After Kong Liu arrived, he guessed that the butterfly demon had taken the initiative to disconnect from the main world and locked himself in that small cave. Inexplicably, after hearing Kong Liu's statement, Tang Lin couldn't help but think of the figure he saw through the gap that day, where the butterfly girl was tightly hugging the fox corpse.

The formation wall outside Hecang Mansion also disappeared with the disappearance of Lang Huan's fairyland, and the usefulness of the sea of flowers was still a mystery in the end. Those little demons patrolling around the city were all caught by Tang Linshunteng, but those little demons were all masters who didn't know anything, and Tang Lin couldn't say anything else with both soft and hard methods, so he had to hand them over to Kong Liu.

The next thing has nothing to do with them, Tang Lin or Xiao Zibai are still just juniors in the cultivation realm, and they don't have the ability to participate in things like this that are full of conspiracies at a glance. The affairs of Hecang Mansion naturally had Kong Liu and them to deal with, Tang Lin and Xiao Zibai only stayed there for less than half a month, and they were driven away by Huang Leshan, who disliked them and got in the way.

Before leaving, Tang Lin thought about taking Ah Dong with him, but Ah Dong didn't want to be in the flash of love anymore, and resolutely rejected Tang Lin, but in the end, it became Tang Lin and Xiao Zibai who continued to travel.

But what Ah Dong never expected was that within a few days of Tang Lin and Xiao Zibai leaving, Xuan Ning had traveled thousands of miles from the Imperial Beast Sect; Oh, rushed over to accompany Kong Liu......

Thinking that he had avoided Xiao Zibai and Tang Lin, Ah Dong, who would not be blinded, silently and silently glanced at Kong Liu and Xuan Ning, who were more slimy in comparison, sighed silently, and continued to pretend that he was actually just a jade bracelet.

"Hey! Look at this jade bracelet. On the crowded street of a mortal mansion, Xiao Zibai happily pulled Tang Lin's hand: "Is this bracelet a bit like the one you wore before!" ”

Tang Lin glanced at the bracelet and looked quite helpless: "I told you, the one before was not a bracelet, it was my friend." ”

"You just say it's like it." Xiao Zibai insisted on asking. Tang Lin couldn't resist him, so he took a closer look, and after a look, he couldn't help but exclaim: "This is really quite similar!" ”

Indeed, it is very similar, the bracelet is carved from a single piece of jasper, emerald green and transparent, smooth and shiny. What's particularly interesting is that it has been skillfully carved into a whole curling vine, and the green leaves on it are so lifelike that you can almost see the overgrown veins on it. Tang Lin took a closer look, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt like Ah Dong, so he simply bought the bracelet and said to Xiao Zibai with a smile: "Give him this bracelet when you go back." ”

When Xiao Zibai heard this, he suddenly felt a faint sense of grievance, and couldn't help but whisper: "You didn't even think about giving me a bracelet!" ”

“…… Do you want a bracelet? Tang Lin was really surprised when he heard this: "I thought you wouldn't like that." ”

Xiao Zibai really didn't like it.

…… But Tang Lin shouldn't want to give it to others in the first place? What about him! What about him?! Why is he, a big living person, actually having a sense of zài is not as good as a bracelet!

Thinking so in his heart, Tang Lin, who was opening the contract on the other end, quickly noticed it, he laughed lightly, reached out and knocked Xiao Zibai's forehead: "Yes, I was wrong, I shouldn't have put you behind Ah Dong." ”

"It's just that I think this bracelet is very good, and it is quite suitable for Ah Dong, so I want to give it to him." Tang Lin said.

Xiao Zibai frowned quietly, and retorted in a low voice: "Not all good things have to be given to others, you see, I have always thought you are good, but I didn't want to give you to ......others" Having said this, he suddenly found that something was not quite right with this analogy, and hurriedly grabbed Tang Lin to try to remedy it: "...... Don't be angry! I, I, I don't mean anything else! ”

Tang Lin smiled "um" and responded with a "I know", looking really light-hearted, and didn't take Xiao Zibai's words to heart at all.

Tang Lin originally intended to turn the matter over gently, but after Tang Lin did this, Xiao Zibai felt weak in his heart.

Does he not care about me anymore? Why aren't you angry at all? Can't I already cause a change in his mood? Xiao Zibai thought worriedly, and after Tang Lin noticed it, he felt angry and funny: "Hey, so what do you want?" I'm angry and you're worried, and if I'm not angry, you're worried? ”

Xiao Zibai blinked: "I am...... Ordinary jealousy? And then it was very normal to suffer from gains and losses? He turned his head to look at Tang Lin: "Because I like you, so when you are angry, I am worried that you will be angry with me and leave me, and if you are not angry, I am worried that you will not be angry with me anymore...... It's a mouthful, but I'm actually ...... I'm too worried about losing you. ”

He admitted it so generously and directly, which made Tang Lin blush slightly.

"What's there to worry about...... Is it because I haven't given you anything lately? Tang Lin quietly changed the topic, Xiao Zibai thought for a moment, hesitated and said, "Maybe it's really because of this?" It's not because of the thing itself...... It's just that I think you can't usually remember me. As he spoke, he actually glanced at Tang Lin aggrievedly.

…… Tang Lin really wanted to use the large amount of things he bought for him in his storage bag to paste Xiao Zibai's face.

What do you mean I can't remember you! Does he have to see something and say, "Ah, this can be given to Xiao Zibai"! Giving gifts also requires careful consideration!

He thought for a while, and simply dragged Xiao Zibai to a remote alley, then opened the storage bag and took out a white scabbard. The scabbard was purely made of cold jade, and after only a moment of taking it out, a trace of cool mist rose up, and a thin layer of ice was even formed on the smooth jade surface, which just extended along the shallow carvings on the scabbard, intertwining into a translucent feather.

"This is ......" Xiao Zibai's eyes widened, Tang Lin raised his eyebrows, and handed the scabbard to Xiao Zibai's hand.

"I broke one of your scabbards before, so I've been thinking about making you a new one. Now it's so easy to get, but your sword has been replaced, and you can't use this scabbard even if you want to. Besides, you don't think I can remember you, so this scabbard is actually meaningless......" He paused, and made a gesture to take the scabbard back, but was unexpectedly pulled by Xiao Zibai.

"It just so happens that I've wanted to change that sword for a long time." Xiao Zibai blinked, and while holding the scabbard tightly, he quietly put his hand on Tang Lin's hand: "According to the rules of the Lingshan Sword Sect, the most suitable sword for sword cultivation is the one you built. My sword hasn't been forged yet, so it's just the size of the scabbard you gave me. ”

"I've only heard of swords with scabbards, where is there anyone who fights with swords in scabbards?" Tang Lin was a little ridiculous.

Xiao Zibai said seriously: "Then what's not to do?" ”

He took Tang Lin's hand, looked into his eyes and whispered, "Other swords are sincere in swords, but I...... Honest with you. ”

His eyes became sparkling again, and Tang Lin's hand shook slightly, but he didn't break away from him after all. Xiao Zibai quietly pinched the law, and countless ice and snow condensed into frost flowers flying all over the sky, falling on the heads of the two of them little by little, gradually accumulating a thin layer.

Tang Lin's eyelashes trembled slightly, and tiny snowflakes fell on his eyelashes, which were whisked by Xiao Zibai's breath, and quickly turned into tiny droplets.

Xiao Zibai looked at him, gently hugged Tang Lin's shoulders, and slowly leaned forward.

His lips were attached to Tang Lin's, and there was still a faint smell of ice and snow on his lips, slightly cool.

This kiss is still very green, their lips are soft to each other, Xiao Zibai rubbed Tang Lin's lips with his lips nostalgically, and had the urge to deepen this kiss, but he didn't know how to do it, he only quietly stretched out the tip of his tongue and touched Xiao Zibai's lips like lightning.

Tang Lin's eyelashes, which were originally slightly closed, opened, his slender eyes were crooked, he gently touched the tip of Xiao Zibai's nose with the tip of his nose, and then guided the other party, intertwining their lips and tongues.

From jerky to lingering, the kiss between the two gradually deepened, and finally parted reluctantly, but the sweet taste on each other's lips lingered for a long time. Tang Lin's cheeks were slightly red, his eyes were shining, he couldn't help but glance at Xiao Zibai's lips quietly, and after realizing what he was doing, Tang Lin moved his eyes to Xiao Zibai's upper lip, and then sighed in a low voice: "Still no beard." ”

Xiao Zibai was stunned: "...... What's wrong with not having a beard? ”

"It's said that I'm older than you, and you look like you're just a teenager, so I'm embarrassed to say it." Tang Lin narrowed his gaze, regardless of his still red lips, and said solemnly with a serious face, Xiao Zibai was silent for a moment, and protested: "Why do you always say that you are older than me?" I'm the one who watched you break your shell! ”

"I'm older than you." Tang Lin didn't lie at all this time.

However, this sentence has no deterrent effect on Xiao Zibai, who theoretically has the memory of two lifetimes (although the memory of the previous life is actually useless). After he whispered, "If you really count the gods, it doesn't have to be who is bigger than whom", and then he only recognized the obvious fact: "Anyway, I always watched you break the shell with my own eyes." ”

This fact was very powerful, Tang Lin couldn't refute it at all, and after thinking about it for a long time, he could only reluctantly say: "You fainted at that time." ”

"You just broke your shell when I woke up." Xiao Zibai pointed out.

Tang Lin frowned, and retorted without confidence: "...... You haven't seen ...... with your own eyes."

"I see your eggshell."

"Maybe you're wrong!"

"I bet the eggshell is still in place!" Xiao Zibai finally came up with a killer idea: "I used stones to block the cave, and I also sealed it with a layer of ice, and the inside is probably still in its original state!" ”

Tang Lin was stunned for a while: "...... Why are you plugging up that cave? ”

Xiao Zibai coughed lightly: "It's nothing, it's just a whim." Tang Linhu looked at him suspiciously, his face full of disbelief.

However, after this small dispute, the two finally embarked on the road to Xiaojia Village. Although he knew that there were no living people there for a long time now, thinking of the earthen houses and rattan nests there, and the trees with his claw marks, Tang Lin still couldn't help but have a strange feeling of "returning home...... Xiao Zibai whispered to him and emphasized: "It's not about returning home, it's about going home." ”

Yes, home, the home they had originally and most impressively of.

This road from Ling Mountain to the Imperial Beast Sect and connecting Xiaojia Village halfway Tang Lin had actually walked it once, but the mood of this time was completely different from the last time, the difference was only that there was one more Xiao Zibai by his side, and his mood immediately changed from cloudy to sunny.

Probably because they were still very young when they formed the golden pill, time suddenly became something to squander. The combined age of the two of them is less than 100 years old, and the longevity of the Jindan period is very long for them, and the cultivation of the Jindan period is barely enough, so the matter of cultivation seems less urgent.

So he was not in a hurry to go to Xiaojia Village, but walked slowly all the way, either riding a horse or taking a car on the road, and Xiao Zibai curiously bought two donkeys in the middle. As the two rode on the donkey, and sat on it waddling to the next town, they attracted the attention of almost all passers-by: their temperament was really different from that of a donkey.

Xiao Zibai was originally very interested in riding a donkey, but when he found that Tang Lin was particularly eye-catching when he was riding a donkey, he did not hesitate to send the two innocent donkeys into the cold palace. But after entering the cold palace, there was no place to put the donkeys, and Xiao Zibai didn't want to take them away, so he simply threw them away. As a result, the donkey was thrown twice, and the donkey was found both times, and several mortals who went on the road together looked at them as if they were looking at the snake spirit disease, Xiao Zibai had no choice but to lead the two donkeys over and sell them after arriving in the town.

This time, the donkey was not recovered, but Xiao Zibai came back and took a closer look at the silver that he had obtained from selling the donkey, and found that the silver was actually lead and silver!

As a cultivator, he was actually deceived by a mortal who bought a donkey!

Tang Lin couldn't stop laughing in his heart the whole time, and his feelings were so obvious that Xiao Zibai on the other end of the contract noticed it, but he had no way to solve it. Even if the mortal who bought the donkey was found and beaten, it didn't seem to be able to restore his broken image, so he could only let Tang Lin laugh there.

Out of consideration for Xiao Zibai's self-esteem, the two changed two horses in the town and went directly to the next town without staying overnight. As a result, when I arrived in the town, it was customary to ask about the town's special dishes, and the person who was asked replied without hesitation: "Donkey meat is burned." ”

Xiao Zibai's face darkened, he sullenly made an excuse of "I don't like donkey meat", and then asked the man if he had any other wine and food, and after the man hesitated for a long time, he actually said "gold and silver steamed buns".

…… Xiao Zibai insisted that the whole world was targeting him, and even if Tang Lin persuaded him, he insisted on leaving this town: now, immediately, immediately.

As a result, they simply spent the night in the barren mountains and mountains.

This mountain range, which is unknown to name, looks rather desolate and seems to be rarely visited in normal times. Looking up at the cold moon forest, looking down at the shadows of the trees, the ground is full of messy weeds. When they came to the mountain range, the mountain was misty, and a distant wolf howl came from time to time in the depths of the jungle, which was obviously a very unsuitable environment for the night, but Tang Lin and Xiao Zibai chose this mountain range to spend the night for no reason.

In fact, with their current cultivation, "staying overnight" has long become a dispensable activity, just like eating and sleeping, they no longer have this need, but they still maintain the habits of mortals.

It's just that after arriving at the mountain, the two of them found a relatively less dark cave and lit a fire, and suddenly there were some slight doubts when they looked at each other.

"Why did we choose this place to spend the night?" Tang Lin glanced gloomily at the mossy cobwebs on the stone wall, and silently moved closer to the fire. Xiao Zibai picked up a dead branch and poked the bonfire in front of him: "I don't know, it's just ...... Simply feel like this place...... Appealing to me? ”

"Actually, I ...... too," Tang Lin said bitterly, pointing to the rolling dark mountains outside, and said with a puzzled heart, "It's just that I really didn't find out what that attraction to me was." ”

Xiao Zibai shook his head: "Could it be a monster that specifically lures cultivators to come over and eat?" For example, it emits a kind of fragrance in the air, so that the cultivators who smell it have the illusion that there is a treasure here, and when the treasure hunter flies over happily, it opens its big mouth again—" He said, showing a look as vicious as possible, opening his mouth wide and closing viciously, and his white and neat teeth collided, making a crisp "click" sound.

Tang Lin shook involuntarily.

He subconsciously felt the demonic aura nearby, and sniffed vigorously: "There are no monsters!" Don't talk nonsense...... Hey? Tang Lin stood up suddenly, because he stood up too fast, and the cave was a little narrow, and he almost hit the top of the cave this time.

The bonfire, which had been extinguished, shook dangerously near the corner of Tang Lin's clothes.

Xiao Zibai hurriedly pulled Tang Lin away from the fire, and saw that the corner of Tang Lin's clothes was finally far away from the threat of the fire, so he had the heart to ask him, "What's wrong with you?" What did you find out something was wrong? ”

Tang Lin tightened his eyebrows and struggled to feel the fluctuations of demonic power: "I feel it...... The breath of this place ...... Feeling a little familiar? ”

“…… Familiar? Is there anyone you know around here? Xiao Zibai looked back at the barren mountains and mountains outside. Tang Lin clenched his hands, and his lips were a little pale: "No...... Not someone I know, it's some ...... It's already dead. ”

"Probably a clansman?" Tang Lin said uncertainly, Xiao Zibai frowned slightly when he heard this, and guessed: "Maybe this is a ruin?" and demon ...... Ahem, the kind related to your people? ”

Tang Lin nodded, and then shook his head again: "It should have something to do with my clan, but it's probably not as simple as a simple ancient ruins, otherwise how could you feel the abnormality just now?" You are not one of my people. ”

"It will be in the future." Xiao Zibai said firmly.

He gently shook Tang Lin's hand.

"So don't worry, if there's anything, we'll face it together."

Tang Lin lowered his eyes and replied in a low voice.

But he still didn't say the guess he had buried in his heart.

He seems to ...... In those diffuse demonic aura, I felt a little bit like Kong Liu's taste.

Tang Lin didn't know much about Kong Liu. He knew that Kong Liu was a very arrogant white peacock, with a hard mouth and a soft heart, and would not take the initiative to show off his feathers, but once he was questioned, he would be very angry; also knows that Kong Liu is the master of the Tianzi Gate of the Royal Beast Sect, the head of the Yiqiē Yu clan, and in the demon clan without the Demon Emperor, he is almost the head of ten thousand demons; I also knew that Kong Liu and Xuan Ning had a very deep relationship, and even knew that Kong Liu's age was far older than that of ordinary demon clans.

Kong Liu, Xuan Ning, Huang Leshan and even Ah Dong are actually old demons who have lived for thousands of years, they have personally experienced the war between the two clans, and for Tang Lin it is just the bloody story of the dust, but for them it is the past that can still be remembered.

All Tang Lin knew was their present, and their past was a blank for Tang Lin.

Ah Dong had told Tang Lin some things about the past before the war between the two clans, but at that time, he had no intersection with Kong Liu and Huang Leshan, and whether it was Kong Liu, Xuan Ning or Huang Leshan, they were very tacitly secretive about the "past".

Therefore, Tang Lin was a little hesitant for a while when facing that familiar aura.

He felt that he should not touch Kong Liu's past, which he was probably unwilling to reveal in front of others, but the faint allure that attracted him to this barren mountain became extremely obvious after Tang Lin discovered the existence of Kong Liu's breath, urging him to discover the "truth" almost every moment.

Tang Lin completely relied on his strong willpower, so he didn't follow the voice to find the ruins in the first place.

Xiao Zibai saw that Tang Lin's attitude was wrong, so he also suppressed the inexplicable impulse. The two tacitly seemed to have forgotten their original destination at the same time, and lived quietly in this remote mountain, after Xiao Zibai's decoration impulse attacked, the small cave was added to a lot of life, and it looked very good. Xiao Zibai even carved out some simple tables and chairs from stones, looking like he was going to live here for a long time.

Neither of them thought that it was Xiao Zibai's move of sharpening the stone, which abruptly put the possible facts in front of them.

That day, Xiao Zibai came back from hunting rabbits in the forest, and when he passed by a big stone, he suddenly felt that "this stone is just right to make a stone bed, and the excess part can also be used to make a new table and chair." ”

- God knows why he thinks he can make another table and chair! There are only two of them, so what's the use of having so many tables and chairs?

However, Xiao Zibai thought so at the time, and took it for granted. Then he put down the rabbit as a matter of course, and as a matter of course he set the ice into a hoe, and as a matter of course he began to dig the stone out of the mud. After a moment's planing, the stone didn't come out, but he unexpectedly dug out a pile of fine bones.

On the pile of tiny bird bones, in addition to the thick demonic aura condensed, there is also a faint breath that belongs to Kong Liu.
