However, just when Li Xunlian breathed a sigh of relief, he suddenly saw that the guy was not ready to give up, but accelerated and chased after him.

This can scare Li Xunlian enough, he is too restrained under the water, the two major stunts of thundercloud technique and Xuanyin qi cannot be performed normally, thundercloud technique needless to say, Xuanyin qi cannot be used because this place is different from the underground river at that time, the latter before the Xuanyin qi was cast and the bottom of the water was frozen, Li Xunlian was able to escape from the water, but here it is still not possible, almost ** ten zhang depth, he is impossible to jump out of the water in an instant.

What's more, there is a huge and mysterious monster below that is constantly in pursuit.

"What the hell should I do!" Li Xunlian was anxious, and he wanted to take out the Han Xiao Sword to resist for a while, but with the long sword in his hand, he suddenly had a wonderful idea.

"I can't fully control the three swords, but I can control them for some simple attacks!"

Li Xunlian was overjoyed, and hurriedly summoned the Three Divine Swords from the Sumeru Ring, and then Xunhuo Zhenyue attacked the mysterious creature chasing at the same time, and the Heavenly Sequence Sword split up and rushed to the river.

The probe grabbed the Heavenly Sequence Sword, as if he was grasping a rope that was being lifted up, and Li Xunlian's degree was a little faster.

These few degrees are insignificant in normal times, but here, they are like a life-saving straw, because Xunhuo Zhenyue's harassment of mysterious creatures has reduced the degree of the other party, and the distance has really been widened a little bit.

But the monster below seemed to be enraged, and he was not ready to give up at all, under such a chase, Li Xun was almost caught up several times, but fortunately, after all, there was no danger to the depth of more than 20 zhang below the water surface.

At this depth, the monster seemed to be afraid of something, and after a few dull roars under the water, it turned around and dived back.

Later, Li Xunlian finally surfaced safely, but after he surfaced, he did not completely relax, and rushed all the way until he stood on the shore, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

From beginning to end, he didn't see what the monster looked like, everyone was curious, and he thought that if he had the chance, he would come back to see it.

But at that time, he didn't know that this kind of mysterious creature in Kyushu was not strange in his subsequent journey......

Anxious to get out of Jiangxin, Li Xunlian did not choose a place to stay, and looked around at this moment, and now his position should be a barren mountain thirty miles north of Shenjian Peak.

At this moment, the moonlight was hazy, and the dense clouds that had previously been dense had dispersed at some point, and a clear light sprinkled down, making the place extremely cold.

The road was extremely tired, and his spirit was also highly concentrated, Li Xunlian loosened his muscles, found a stone and sat down, and after a short rest, he took out the things in the Sumeru ring.

As soon as this thing appeared, the red light suddenly flickered, it was not very clear under the water at that time, but now it was quite strong, and the red light in the surrounding area was very gloomy.

"What is this?" Li Xunlian looked at the thing in his hand curiously, it was a milky white stone the size of a goose egg, but there were wisps of dark red lines on it, and it was precisely because of the existence of these lines that it would emit a strong red light.

Of course, the stone is just a metaphor, this thing looks like a stone but not a stone, at least, Li Xunlian has never seen this type of stone.

Holding it in his hand for a while, Li Xunlian fell into deep thought, all the classics he had read over the years came to his mind one by one, but in the end he still couldn't find the slightest record of this thing.

Even if it's similar, it's not.

"What the hell is it......"

Muttering, Li Xunlian had a whimsical idea in his mind, so he tried to cross the Xuan Qi into it to see if there was any reaction.

Airplanes!

With a clear sound, the Xuan Qi really crossed into the stone, which was not simply injected into the Xuan Qi, but a very peculiar feeling, as if he was passing on the gong to the people who were empty in the sea of qi, which actually made him feel a sense of gradual fullness.

At the same time, the red light emitted by the stone became more intense, and in the blink of an eye, the range of light had already expanded to three feet!

"This stone is by no means simple. ”

Li Xunlian's heart moved, and after hesitating for a moment, he injected Xuan Qi again, the reason why he hesitated was because he was not sure what would happen after injecting a large amount of Xuan Qi into the stone.

Therefore, he was very careful, as if he could divide the Xuan Qi by measurement, then every time he injected the Xuan Qi into the stone now, it should be the weight of a grain of sand.

After infusing Xuan Qi in this slow degree, after about ten times, except for the brighter the red light, nothing else will be born.

This time, Li Xunlian suddenly wanted to change his routine and tried to inject the Xuanyin Qi into it, but the result was that the stone trembled violently uncontrollably, and there seemed to be a strange gate inside, after coming into contact with the Xuanyin Qi, the gate was automatically closed, not allowing the Xuanyin Qi to enter.

Li Xunlian was curious, so he tried the innate demonic qi again, firstly to see if it had an abnormal reaction when it came into contact with the innate demonic qi, and secondly, to see if the innate demonic qi could corrode the "gate".

Although he didn't know what this stone was, there was no doubt that he had aroused Li Xunlian's curiosity, and after injecting innate demonic energy, Li Xunlian stared at the stone with a pair of eyes wide and without an instant.

And under the gaze of his curious gaze, the result was very boring, it was the first type, the same innate demonic qi and Xuanyin qi, were blocked out of the "door".

"Ingesting Xuan Qi, but rejecting the Innate Demon Qi and Xuan Yin Qi, is it because these two kinds of Qi are special Xuan Qi?"

"That's not right, this thing will last in Kyushu for a long time, if that's the case, then for it, the pure Xuan Qi should also be a special Xuan Qi. ”

Li Xunlian fell into deep thought, just as he thought, the Xuan Qi he was controlling now was no longer the ordinary Xuan Qi sensed by other Xuan cultivators in Kyushu, but the Pure Xuan Qi with at least twice the quality, but this thing rejected the Xuan Yin Qi and the Innate Demon Qi, but opened its arms to the Pure Xuan Qi, what was going on.

Soon, Li Xunlian figured out the key to the matter, but the point of his dredging of his mind was not from this strange stone, but from the inscription!

That's right, it's the inscription.

The inscription is recorded in the history of Kyushu, and even if there are several related narratives, most of them point to the statement that the inscription came from outside the galaxy.

Since the inscription is from outside the galaxy, then this stone, which is obviously related to the inscription, should also come from outside the galaxy!

If this conjecture is true, then it is normal for it to be able to absorb pure Xuan Qi.

Thinking of this, Li Xunlian's mind came up with a sentence that Hu Wan had said. I remember that when I was in Nandi, he once told Li Xunlian that don't think about helping him get out of the devil's way, because there is no way to find it on Kyushu Big 6.

That's not the case, but that's the general idea.

Based on all kinds of information, Li Xunlian can now conclude that the stone and the inscription, and even the root of Hu Wan's demonization, have to be traced to the mystery beyond the galaxy in order to explore the root.

Since he couldn't find a breakthrough at present, he simply didn't waste time on this strange stone, Li Xunlian put it into the Sumeru Ring and set off to return to Shenjian Peak.

After returning to Shenjian Peak, Li Xunlian immediately went to see the big shopkeeper, but what he didn't expect was that he met with the big shopkeeper, and before he could speak, he took out a letterhead and handed it to him for him to see.

Li Xunlian was very curious, took the letterhead and read it, and when he read it, his face had changed greatly.

Without him, the things conveyed on the letterhead are exactly what Li Xunlian is preparing to discuss with the big shopkeeper this time.

It's just that he didn't expect Li Chengsheng to arrive in the south so quickly, in just two or three days, and assimilate at least hundreds of Yin Fire living dead!

This letter was sent back by the innkeeper who traveled in the south, because he didn't know this way, so the letter did not say that those he saw were the Yin Fire Living Dead, but replaced them with evil cultivators, but Li Xunlian carefully looked at the so-called evil cultivators in his mouth, and he could deduce that they were indeed Yin Fire Living Dead!

"What do you think about this?" the big shopkeeper asked in a deep voice when he saw Li Xunlian finish reading the letter.

Li Xunlian took a deep breath and said, "I came back this time to talk to you about this, this thing is called the Yin Fire Living Dead, and its root is a head catcher named Li Chengsheng, but he was still in the nearby Huangshi Town two days ago, but he didn't expect to run to the South Land so quickly, and there are so many Yin Fire Living Dead on display." ”

"Yin Fire Living Dead?!" the big shopkeeper frowned slightly, before this, he didn't think about this aspect, but now that Li Xunlian said it, he suddenly realized the seriousness of the matter.

"That's right, it's the living dead of Yin Fire. And judging from this degree of assimilation, I am afraid that it will not be long before the number of living dead in the Yin Fire will be comparable to that of the Nandi army, and then the Kyushu catastrophe, that is, the end of the world, may come in advance. Li Xunlian said solemnly.

The big shopkeeper nodded, pondered for a moment, and said: "But it's okay, fortunately, they appeared in the south, since the failure of the southern expedition, the power of King Cheng has become more and more stable, some time before the Dao Sect invaded my Divine Sword Peak, I heard that the Qingxiao Emperor withdrew his troops for no reason, but since you said that you gave Zhu Cheng to the Qingxiao Emperor, I think it must be because of Zhu Xi that he withdrew his troops." ”

Speaking of this, the big shopkeeper paused for a moment, and then said: "King Cheng holds the trump card of Zhu Xi in his hand, and Emperor Qingxiao holds the trump card of Zhu Cheng in his hand. ”

"That's true, Qingxiao Emperor and King Cheng are not easy to compromise, and such a thing as exchanging hostages may not be born. And even if you take a step back, even if Emperor Qingxiao advocates the exchange of hostages, King Cheng should not agree. After all, he needs time to expand, and with Zhu Xi in hand, he can not only delay the situation of the imperial court's southern expedition here, but also ensure Zhu Cheng's life, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone. ”

"Yes, that's what I want to say, since Emperor Qingxiao withdrew his troops from the Southland, in just a few months, the momentum of King Cheng's power has been quite rapid, his ability does not allow us to doubt, if he is given some more time, even if it is only when the end of autumn and winter comes, I am afraid that he can completely control the situation in the Southland and become a force that is enough to fight against the Imperial Court alone. ”

"What do you mean by ...... big shopkeeper?"

"I mean to leave the dead alone, this matter was born in the south, and I think King Cheng will definitely take measures, because this has already involved his great cause. The big treasurer's eyes sparkled, and then he said: "Doing this must be cruel to the people of the Southland, so what I want to discuss with you is whether this matter should be decided like this?"

"Definitely. Li Xunlian nodded and pondered when he heard this, just as the big shopkeeper said, the Yin Fire Living Dead caused riots and even disasters in the south, which was undoubtedly a huge blow to King Cheng, whether he or Mourning, he would not stand idly by, not that they loved the people, but this would hinder the formation of their plans.

In this way, it should be a good thing for the inn, the imperial court, and even the entire Kyushu after the end of the world.

After all, the heart of becoming a king is well known, and his collusion with the demon clan is no longer too much of a secret, and weakening his strength is almost equivalent to weakening the demon clan.

However, the target of the living dead is not to become a king, but to the people of the south, if left unchecked, then thousands of people in the south will suffer, and even become a walking corpse under Li Chengsheng who can only kill and assimilate.

It is indeed a difficult thing to decide how to choose.

"Hey, why did the big shopkeeper suddenly become indecisive, it turned out that he was not like this. Suddenly, Li Xunlian's thoughts flew to other places, so cranky.

In fact, he didn't even notice because of the urgency of the situation, and as soon as he entered the house, the big shopkeeper was holding a bronze mirror in his hand, and even now, there were several boxes of rouge gouache on the table behind him......

In fact, not only that, Li Xunlian was not in Shenjian Peak during this time, including a period of time after the battle of Shenjian Peak, he also put his mind on other places, and he didn't pay attention to the big shopkeeper at all.

But if he observes carefully, he will definitely find that since the return of the great treasurer from the West, there have been some subtle changes in his whole person, such as when talking to people, his voice no longer seems so unquestionable, but a little more negotiable, or ...... Gentleness.

In addition, the shopkeeper seemed to prefer to stay closed, and there was a faint fragrance in his room.

Li Xunlian didn't even notice these things, after all, there were too many worries, and all his thoughts were involved. At the same time, the big shopkeeper is also a god-like existence in his mind, and he worries about anyone, and he will not worry about the big shopkeeper.
