After Li Xiruo passed the message to Ji Shan and Guo Jianjun, he stayed with Zhang Jianguo at his house. She didn't want Ji Shan and Guo Jianjun to live in Sujia, they came to Sujia, maybe they had to come in, it was better to run for their lives.

In the end, Zhang Jianguo persuaded her to take the two together, Zhang Jianguo said that this mountain is too evil, there are demons and monsters everywhere, ordinary people like them have no way to live here, and most of them are dead ends without Li Xiruo, rather than this, it is better for several of them to get together, maybe they can get a way to live in the end.

Li Xiruo thought of the various formations in this mountain, and felt that it was the same thing. I can't guarantee that I will get out of this mountain alive, let alone Ji Shan and Guo Jianjun, the two of them may still have a way to live if they follow themselves, and the chances of escaping by themselves are really not high if they don't follow themselves.

Su Mingyue has no problem with two more people coming to live in the house, but there is only one guest room in his house, and he said that it would be good for Li Xi to assign them by themselves. Zhang Jianguo and the three of them naturally wouldn't let the girls sleep outside, so they said that now that the weather is hot, the three of them can sleep in the courtyard, and the guest room will be left to Li Xiruo.

The so-called guest room is just a stone house, with a stone bed and a stone table in it, which looks like the place where primitive people lived, except for a roof, it is really not much better than the courtyard, not even a mattress or sheets.

Since Su Mingyue left everyone behind, he no longer pretended to be innocent and innocent in front of Zhang Jianguo as he did at the beginning, and he didn't say a word to Li Xiruo. When it was time to eat, Li Xiruo and his party prepared their own food, and after eating, they were free to move, as long as they didn't leave this village, Su Mingyue didn't care about them.

Su Mingyue's attitude made Li Xiruo very strange, and she didn't know why, she had an intuition that Su Mingyue would not harm herself. She is a practitioner and her instincts are usually accurate. Relying on this intuition, she directly approached Su Mingyue and asked Su Mingyue why she wanted to stay.

Su Mingyue looked at Li Xiruo's expression with some nostalgia, and was silent for a long time before saying, "Do you know who lives in this village?" ”

Li Xiruo straightened her back when she heard this, she had already seen that none of the people in this village were simple, but she didn't dare to ask, Su Mingyue herself was willing to say that of course she was willing to listen: "Please also tell me." ”

Su Mingyue smiled bitterly: "What kind of gentleman am I, just for the sake of you being a Taoist heir, I'll give you a guide or two." This village is full of alchemists. ”

Li Xiruo was shocked when he heard this: "Fang Shi? She remembered that most of the titles of Fangshi existed in the Qin and Han dynasties, and many Confucian scholars in the Qin and Han dynasties understood Taoist techniques, and those Confucian scholars were called Fangshi, and some people also called them Warlocks.

These people had a very high status in the country at that time, and the wild history once recorded that Qin Shi Huang pursued immortality after unifying the six countries, relied on the Fangshi, reused the Fangshi Xu Fu at that time, and asked Xu Fu to go overseas to find the elixir of life for him to take. As for whether Xu Fu found the elixir of life, no one knows, because Qin Shi Huang died, and Xu Fu never appeared again.

Since the people in this village are all Fangshi, and the number is so high, then at least they are also from the Qin and Han dynasties. I was born in the Tang Dynasty, and these people are thousands of years older than me.

Su Mingyue glanced at the shocked Li Xiruo and sighed: "Yes, Fang Shi, Fang Shi who died innocently." You should have noticed that this village is full of men, not a single woman. ”

Li Xiruo nodded, at that time, there was no such thing as a female priest, only men could read and learn magic. If the living dead in this village were all monks, then it would make sense without a woman.

"Since everyone here is a monk, they should all be people with means, how can they all die here? What kind of person has such a great ability, killed everyone, and is still trapped here, unable to be reincarnated? Li Xiruo looked at Su Mingyue suspiciously, but she knew that the Fang Shi in the Qin and Han dynasties were very powerful, no worse than her own master, so many Fang Shi were victimized, so how powerful was the other party?

Su Mingyue's face gradually became cold, and she sneered: "You probably heard of book burning, right?" ”

Li Xiruo was shocked, she had heard of burning books and pit Confucianism, and it was recorded in history that Qin Shi Huang burned books and killed Confucians, but she, a disciple of Li Chunfeng, knew that there were still many monks who were killed at that time. However, there is no record of how many alchemists were killed and what the process was. Li Chunfeng only said that many monks died at that time, and many Taoist techniques were lost.

Thinking that the place they are now in is Xianyang, the capital of the Qin Dynasty in ancient times, she looked at Su Mingyue in horror, could it be that this is the place where books are burned and Confucianism is pitted, and those monks in this village are the people who were killed by Qin Shihuang's pit?

Li Xiruo is also a person who has lived for nearly a thousand years, and she thinks that there is nothing to scare her, but what she heard today really scared her. If the formation here can't be broken by these living dead Fang Shi who have lived for more than 2,000 years, then she, a person who is not good at formations, really has no confidence to break it, then isn't she destined to die here and be the company of these living dead?

It's not that she's afraid of death, but she's afraid that she won't be able to leave this place. She has worked hard for thousands of years, but in order to be with the master forever, even if she can't be with the master, she dies and goes underground, and it is good for her soul to see the master again. But the formation here doesn't even want to go out of the dead soul, which means that she can't see the master again when she dies, how can she not be frightened.

Su Mingyue looked at the mountains in the distance and said, "You guessed right, it was here that the book burning pit was here, and countless people were buried alive here." You went into the woods, and those trees were all transformed by the blood and resentment of the Confucian students who were killed in the pit back then. ”

After a moment of silence, he lowered his eyes and said, "And I'm the one who killed all the Fang Shi pits here. ”

Li Xiruo raised his head violently and looked at Su Mingyue in shock, his face full of disbelief. She could see that Su Mingyue had done a lot of murder during her lifetime, but she didn't want that to be done like this, but why? He doesn't look like a murderous villain at all.

The moonlight sprinkled down, and the air was silent, and after a long time, Su Mingyue said: "I have had the ability since I was born, I can manipulate water, condense water into ice, and turn ice into water." The people in the village thought I was a monster and wanted to burn me to death, and my mother was beaten to death by the villagers in order to protect me. ”

After that, the little Su Mingyue hated the people in the village, and also hated watching him and his mother being hunted down and killed by the villagers, but they didn't care about their own father. After Su Mingyue escaped, he lived in the mountains for half a month, making a living by picking wild fruits, and almost died in the mountains, but fortunately, his later master saved him and passed on his life's skills.

Su Mingyue is a grateful person, he is grateful for Master's life-saving grace, and naturally respects and loves Master very much. I thought that I must repay Master's kindness well. But he didn't want to be together by chance, he accidentally learned that the reason why the master saved him and cultivated him was to use him, which made his heart cold by half, and even had a pimple with the master's daughter.

Su Mingyue has been fatherless and motherless since she was a child, and what she yearns for is the kind of love that does not ask for anything in return. He hoped that Master could love him like his father without desires or desires, but there was never love without a reason in this world. At that time, when the master accepted disciples, how many of them didn't think that there were people available under the disciples? It is said to be a use, but it is also normal, people have cultivated and raised you for so many years, and it is normal and understandable for you to give some and do something for the master, and give one or two in return.

Su Mingyue didn't understand this truth, he was born with no one to educate him, and his master had many disciples, so he didn't have time to educate him as a little doll. Those senior brothers and sisters looked at him as an orphan, and no one looked down on him, except for learning his skills, no one really taught him the truth of being a man, and raised him into a paranoid temperament.

Master's daughter, Qingqing little sister is the little princess in the master's door, and the only one who does not look down on Su Mingyue, she is the same age as Su Mingyue, she likes to play with Su Mingyue since she was a child, Su Mingyue originally liked this little junior sister very much, but since she had a knot with the master, she didn't have a good face for the little junior sister, and felt that the little junior sister was the same as the master, she wanted to use herself, and she was not sincere to herself.

When he was disappointed in his master, his sister, and his master, he met his first friend in this life. Su Mingyue went out to do errands for her master, and married a young man named Li Wen, and the young man's brother was called Li Si, who was an important minister next to the first emperor.

Su Mingyue, a person who was born to be regarded as a monster, an orphan who was despised by his teacher, when had he ever seen such a famous disciple, he suddenly became ashamed, just like alienating Li Wen. But Li Wen accommodated Su Mingyue in everything, and treated Su Mingyue unconditionally, even if Su Mingyue lost his temper with him, he just laughed and laughed, and afterwards he would think of coaxing Su Mingyue to be happy, so that Su Mingyue would not take the embarrassment of the two to heart.

When did Su Mingyue meet someone who was so kind to him, or unconditionally good to him. The other party is still the high-ranking prime minister's brother, the door of his closed heart has been completely opened, and he regards Li Wen as his best brother and best friend, and now he is asked to stick a knife in Li Wen's ribs, and he will not refuse.

Just when he racked his brains to do something for Li Wen to repay Li Wen for accommodating and taking care of him all the time, Li Wen expressed his distress. It turns out that the First Emperor has been looking for alchemists recently, hoping that those alchemists who know magic can help the First Emperor to prepare the elixir of life, so that the First Emperor will live forever and be the son of Qin forever.

But where does his brother know any alchemists! There are a lot of monks in this people, but there are a few who have real skills, and he has never been in contact with them, in case he finds a liar, his brother must not be angered.
