The bustling street is crowded with people, the clamor of small merchants and vendors is endless, everyone seems to have their own purpose in this street, but Xiaoxue doesn't, she doesn't know how she came here in chaos after getting out of the scorched soil that she single-handedly created, even if this street is as prosperous as Jingshi, it is still strange to her, because there is no Lu Qingyu here.

At this time, Xiaoxue was covered with dirt and ragged clothes, no one would have thought that this woman who had been held in the palm of her hand by the strongest man in the world, and who should have been prouder than the princess, would fall into this way. The clothes on his body are still slow robes before going to bed, naturally there are no valuable ornaments inlaid on it, and the only ornament on the bun - blue tears are also thrown in the bamboo forest, and a shoe has run off at some point on his feet, and now the white and tender little foot has long been stained with blood. There is nothing of value or anything that is directly money for Xiao Xue to temporarily exchange for a bowl of cheap Yangchun noodles, and Xiao Xue feels that the taste of hunger is so unbearable for the first time.

It's late autumn, and the weather is cooler during the day, and it's even colder at night. Xiaoxue's physique is weak, and most of her spiritual power has been dissolved when she is in the bamboo forest, and now in response to this cold weather, Xiaoxue is naturally shivering from the cold. Gradually, the people in the city closed their doors one after another.

The night regained her deep and lonely again.

Xiaoxue was barefoot, on an empty stomach, and found a corner of a relatively clean inn and leaned down. With a wall against it, it doesn't feel so lonely and terrifying, and the cold moon of Tsinghua doesn't seem to be so unbearable. At this moment, the door of the store was opened a small crack, and a lean young man dressed as a shopkeeper squeezed out of it, and saw Xiaoxue and didn't say much, just handed her the two cold steamed buns hidden in the bib, Xiaoxue took the steamed buns and devoured them in a ladylike manner, even if it was a hard steamed bun that was difficult to chew, it seemed to be as delicious as a palace banquet for Xiaoxue, who was hungry at the moment.

Just when Xiaoxue was about to eat the second steamed bun, the door of the store was completely opened, and a fat-headed and big-eared boss came out of it, he rudely snatched the steamed bun in Xiaoxue's hand with his fat big hand and threw it to the ground, and then shouted to Xiaoxue with a mouth full of spit: "Lao Tzu's steamed bun is thrown on the side of the road to feed the dog, and he will never give you this stinky food." The shopkeeper grabbed the boss's arm and persuaded: "The owner is just two cold steamed buns, this little girl is really pitiful!" Just do some kindness. The boss didn't wait for Xiao Er to finish speaking, so he slapped him heavily and scolded: "You stinky boy, you eat the master's house, and you have to take the master's favor to you, when the master is a good hall!" After speaking, Xiao Er couldn't tell him, forcibly dragged him into the door, and scolded Xiao Xue while holding Xiao Er: "Get out!" Lao Tzu's shop doesn't want to be tainted with the bad luck of your white-haired monster girl. ”

Xiaoxue only felt that the anger in her chest was about to erupt, but fortunately, even if she suppressed the powerful spiritual power in her body that seemed to be out of her control, she avoided a fire in this small shop. "Don't be like these ordinary people." Xiaoxue silently comforted herself in her heart. Finally, under the vicious gaze of the boss, Xiaoxue had no choice but to get up and pat the dust on her body and leave, so that she didn't even have the only place to live.

If there is chaos today, and the people are living in hardship, everyone believes more that the power of money is better than everything, so the fear of gods and ghosts is becoming less and less, and thanks to this, Xiaoxue can find another place to live in the abandoned City God Temple on the outskirts of the city.

The temple was overgrown with weeds, cobwebs were dense, and the moss on the steps was still a little slippery, Xiaoxue walked up cautiously, and before she pushed open the dilapidated gate, she felt the warm fire coming out of it, she realized that someone had occupied this place one step ahead of herself, although she was extremely reluctant, she could only turn her head, and her biggest change in the past two days was to learn to face and endure. But the people in the temple spoke: "Since they are all fallen people at the end of the world, why don't you just come in?" Maybe we'll be able to make a friend. "This is a very gentle and beautiful male voice, and no one will refuse him when they hear it.

Xiaoxue gently pushed open the temple door, and saw a man in green clothes roasting meat around the fire, but what he mainly did was to rub his sword, and only occasionally turn the meat on the fire around, so his meat was already a little roasted. The man's face was extremely three-dimensional, as if it had been cut little by little with a blade, his eyes were large and bright, and his lips were so thin that they were about to be drawn into a line, and if it weren't for the cold eyes in his eyes, he would have been a lovely man.

"Hungry! Don't come to eat yet? The gentle voice of the man in Tsing Yi made people feel like a spring breeze, but his face was as cold as winter ice and snow. Xiaoxue heard that such a person was either a compassionate messenger or a heinous demon, and she thought he was probably the former.

Xiaoxue walked to the man in Tsing Yi and sat down, and the man in Tsing Yi took the meat from the fire rack and handed it to him, there was still reluctance in his eyes, but it was immediately replaced by a relieved look. Xiaoxue didn't take the meat, but said in surprise: "The meat is roasted by you......" The man in Tsing Yi said: "The person who barbecues meat is not necessarily the person who eats meat,...... Besides, it doesn't matter if I eat or not now. "Why?" The man in Tsing Yi didn't answer, but once again picked up his sword and wiped its already sharp blade with his heart. Xiaoxue thought to herself: Could it be that he was preparing to kill, but he was also preparing to be killed, so he said it didn't matter? The man in Tsing Yi squinted at Xiaoxue: "What's the point of a dying person who is full of food, it's better to give it to a person who can live better when he is full." Xiaoxue suddenly stood up and said in an angry tone: "How do you know that you must be the one who is going to die if you don't fight?" She snatched the meat from the man in Tsing Yi's hand and tore it in half and gave it back to him half, saying: "Eat it, you will have half a chance of victory, and your kindness in giving me half of the flesh will be favored by the gods, and you will be invincible with half chance and half luck." Xiao Xue smiled, and then bit down on the half of the meat as if she was angry, she actually wanted to say, "Even if it's baked, it still tastes good." There was also a soft light in the cold eyes of the man in Tsing Yi, as if he had regained something that he had been ignored after he was determined to die under Xiaoxue's suggestion, such as confidence. Like Xiaoxue, he also chewed the half of the meat in his hand with the rudeest movements, in fact, didn't Xiaoxue regain his confidence because of this half of the meat? "It's always possible to go back." Xiaoxue fell asleep with this sweet thought.

In the early morning of the second day, when Xiaoxue opened her eyes again, she only saw the ashes with sparks burned on the firewood and a bag of broken silver beside her. "It seems that he left all his belongings to me, what is it that makes him not leave room for himself?" Xiaoxue suddenly regretted, "Yesterday really shouldn't have given him blind confidence like that, in case the other party's martial arts are really unfathomable, wouldn't that let him be sent to death?" She thought that she should have persuaded him to practice his martial arts before going, but now that everything was a foregone conclusion, it was all up to that person's creation. She thought that she hadn't even asked the name of that kind man, and she couldn't help but complain that she was too inexperienced.

Xiaoxue took the broken silver left by the man in Tsing Yi and walked into a hotel to make up a breakfast casually, and just when she raised her chopsticks and was about to eat noodles, she thought of the man in Tsing Yi again, and then thought of Lu Qingyu, because in her mind, Lu Qingyu has always been strong and invincible, and now if the second senior brother is here, she can help him kill his enemy. Of course, this "he" refers to the man in Tsing Yi, and the word "kill" also makes Xiaoxue feel terrible. Once upon a time, how she hated killing and fighting, but now it seemed as if she could stir up an instinctive urge for pleasure. She's changing, she knows, but she can't seem to stop it.

Luo Shen Palace, the second senior brother, seems to be very far away from her, although it is only a short interval of three days, Xiaoxue suddenly finds that she doesn't dare to think about what will happen after eating this bowl of noodles.

In this hotel, a purple-faced man walked in, from his figure and facial features, he undoubtedly looked like a reckless man, but he was wearing a well-chopped, finely sewn satin gown, sideburns and beard were very well trimmed, and the skin on his face was well maintained, and not a single wrinkle or fine line could be seen. Behind the big man are three family members and other characters, they are wearing uniform black power suits, all have disdainful arrogance and arrogance, the so-called dog fighting human power, in these three people vividly reflected.

Since the four of them walked into the store, no one in the small shop dared to raise their voices, everyone only dared to eat their own food and drink their own wine quietly, and there were originally three juniors in the store, and now there are two standing beside the big man at any time to listen to orders. People didn't expect that a little girl like Xiaoxue would dare to come forward to provoke him, and none of them could see that today's face was very solemn, and his mood was probably extremely unhappy.

"Uncle Hou!" Xiaoxue affectionately called him.

Dahan frowned at first and was about to attack, but he was turned by the family behind him, and then he looked at Xiaoxue carefully, and then his brows stretched out again, and the sun was shining immediately. Watching this process of changing faces is simply appreciating the wonderful art of face painting.

"You're the little snow girl of Roselle Palace, right?" Dahan's voice was so kind that it was almost flattering.

Xiaoxue was also a little happy now, the purple-faced man in front of him was Hou Jintang, the lord of Houjiabao Castle in Lingwu County, since he returned to the Luoshen Palace of Shun Jingshi four years ago, he would personally come to the door every year to pay tribute, so Xiaoxue also remembered him, and she remembered him because she couldn't figure out why such a martial artist should dress up as a literati. "I don't know that the lord of Luoshen Palace is coming to Daxing, and we are waiting for a long time, which is really the most sinful and deserves death. I don't know where the Lord is staying? I'll wait for my personal visit to apologize. Hou Jintang's face was obviously wrinkled, but his smile at the moment reminded Xiaoxue of sun-dried rotten eggplants.

In the eyes of all those who have come into contact with Roselle Palace, it seems that they have already thought that where there is light snow, there should be Lu Qingyu, and their names are destined to be placed together. But Xiaoxue doesn't understand this world, and she naturally doesn't know how to deal with these ** lakes that have exhausted the organs to make herself safer.

"Second senior brother, he is not in Daxing, I was kidnapped and robbed, I don't know the way back. Uncle Hou, can you send someone to send me back? My second senior brother, he will definitely reward you heavily. Xiaoxue said these words casually, because she thought that it was imperative for Hou Jintang to send her home.

Hou Jintang didn't smile as much as he did at the beginning, but turned around and quietly asked the most shrewd-looking one among his subordinates, and the family member did not shy away from replying: "Master, according to the opinion of the slave, I'm afraid this matter is different, you think, what kind of place is Luoshen Palace, how can it be possible for people to take people away from home!" Let's not say that no one has this ability, and no one has this courage! Hou Jintang stroked his beard and said, "What you said is exactly what the old man thinks." The family Ding said: "Then who is the lord of the Luo Shen Palace, how can he really have true feelings for this stupid ugly girl?" "That's it." Another family member also conforms to the Tao, "The lord of Luoshen Palace is a young man, famous all over the world, and people are born with jade trees in the wind, handsome and extraordinary, and the women around him must also be able to handle it." Most of the love for this little girl is also because she belongs to the same family, right? The rest of the family also spoke: "How many martial arts beauties are flattering and tempting them, the lord is afraid that his eyes will look at the flowers!" Man! Who doesn't like beautiful women, such an ugly little girl who can't be used by him, will naturally be disgusted and abandoned. Hearing this, Hou Jintang's eyebrows suddenly widened a lot, and his shrewd eyes swirled in a full circle in his narrow eye sockets.

"Little Snow Girl, it's hard for you to come here, it's better to go to the house first to freshen up, and then the old man will personally send you on the road." Hou Jintang's kind eyes had already revealed a certain kind of ill-intentioned ferocity.

"Hmm." Xiaoxue nodded happily, but she didn't know that this might be the point of no return for Huangquan.

……

Xiaoxue followed Hou Jintang into a gloomy canyon, accompanied by two attendants and a woman with a sad face. The walls are like sharpening, purple gas, the shallow grass under the feet gradually turns into dense long grass, and occasionally a few hoarse crows of black crows sound very sad. The more Xiaoxue walked, the more creepy she felt, and she was about to ask Hou Jintang how long she would have to walk like this, but she heard the lady who had the style of a small jasper let out a cry that was extremely inconsistent with her identity, and looked at her trembling fingers, and saw a red python coiled on the withered vines, spitting out blue letters as if demonstrating to everyone.

The woman screamed and turned to walk back, crying as she went, "I'm not going, I'm going home." The two house slaves of Houjiabao hurriedly held her up from left to right, and the delicate woman could no longer break free, so she could only cry out of thin air. Xiaoxue really couldn't imagine that going to Luoshen Palace was such a terrible thing, seeing that the little woman was crying pitifully, she persuaded Hou Jintang and said: "If she doesn't want to go, forget it!" Hou Jintang was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile on his face: "Yes, yes." But the two house slaves' pincer-like hands were still tightly wrapped around the little woman's arms.

At this moment, a long and dismal laugh came from nowhere, and the laughter echoed in such an environment even more eerie and gloomy, Xiaoxue couldn't help but grab Hou Jintang's clothes.

Hou Jintang also felt empty, and asked expectantly, "Who is the hero?" Can you show up for a while? ”

The laughter stopped, but no figure was seen.

Hou Jintang said excitedly: "Hiding the head and revealing the tail, the rats did it." ”

A gust of wind struck, rolling a blue light swept over the giant python, and I saw an arc of light supporting the snake body to cover this side, Hou Jintang exclaimed and pulled away the light snow, and the two house slaves also hurriedly caught up in front of the two of them, and caught the giant python firmly, but got a snake blood all over the body.

The person who came was dressed in green clothes and stood tall and jade. Xiaoxue looked at it and recognized that the other party was the person who gave her half of the meat last night, and she was overjoyed, but she was worried that a big war was about to start.

The man in Tsing Yi didn't look at Xiaoxue, but looked at Hou Jintang with contempt and said, "It's just a dead snake, why should Lord Hou be moved?" ”

Hou Jintang looked at the visitor while tidying up his clothes, and then replied with a more arrogant attitude: "The old man is clean by nature, but he is afraid that the snake's blood will stain his clothes." ”

The man in Tsing Yi smiled slightly: "Lord Hou Bao has been walking the rivers and lakes for many years, and he should have some famous demeanor, and the younger generation helped you clear the obstacles on the way to the Jueling Dragon Pond so quickly, even if you don't give a reward, you should thank you for two words!" ”

Before Hou Jintang could reply, Xiaoxue asked, "What?" Uncle Hou, isn't this the way to Jingshi? Hou Jintang's purple face turned red, and his expression was very embarrassed.

"I'll answer it for you!" The man in Tsing Yi rushed to say, "This is the way to the Absolute Dragon Pool, you don't want to send this girl back at all, but you want to give her to the human demon who lives in the Dragon Pool." ”

Xiaoxue turned her head and asked Hou Jintang: "What he said is the truth?" Hou Jintang couldn't answer for a while, and silence was already his affirmative answer.

"Why are you doing that?" Xiao Xue's voice became sharper, and the man in Tsing Yi said: "Because this demon has been hiding in the dragon pond to practice magic skills since two years ago, and often runs out to disturb the people. At this time, Hou Jiabao, who is the leader of Daxing City, is naturally about to stand up and show his ability to stabilize the people's livelihood, but it is a pity that Hou Jintang is greedy for life and afraid of death, and does not dare to challenge people and demons, but instead tolerates and connives, and agrees to pay tribute to him on the first and fifteenth days of each month, and the young girl he chooses will help him to cultivate, so Hou Jiabao's reputation will be so strong! "You're talking nonsense!" Hou Jintang raised his sleeves suddenly, and three highly poisonous swallow golden darts flew out of his cuffs, shooting directly at the face of the man in Tsing Yi.

As soon as the man in Tsing Yi turned his sleeves with his backhand, the golden dart was rolled inside, and the cuffs were corroded with several big holes, "The sudden poison applicator doesn't seem to be done by a righteous gentleman!" He let out a long sigh: "Alas—" as if sympathetic and sarcastic, he continued, "It's a pity that this time the ruthless red-headed arrow was shot on the roof of your house, but of course you won't give your beloved daughter to that human demon, what should you do?" Fortunately, a very simple little girl of the same age as your daughter appeared in time, and you couldn't be happy, so how could you honestly send her back to Jingshi? ”

Xiao Xue was furious when she heard this, and blood couldn't help but gather in her clean eyes, she grabbed Hou Jintang's shirt with both hands and scolded: "You will feel distressed when your daughter is sent away, isn't someone else's daughter raised by her parents?" There really are shameless people like you in this world. Hou Jintang was scolded and retreated, but he couldn't break free from Xiaoxue's pull. I haven't done anything to be sorry for you, so why do you want to hurt me? "Xiaoxue is pressing step by step.

Hou Jintang finally cheeked up and said: "Anyway, the Lord doesn't want you anymore, why don't you do it to the end, just go in yourself." After hearing this, Xiaoxue's face appeared with an anger that she had never seen before, and her clear eyes instantly became cloudy, there was confusion, sadness, resentment, and despair, and all kinds of emotions in the world seemed to be filled in these eyes at this moment. Who said the Lord doesn't want me? Who said he didn't want me? Xiaoxue's voice also became sharper, her snow-white hair was scattered under the excitement, fluttering in the air hunting and dancing, a red mark on her eyebrows was also looming, and her cheeks were crimson because of anger, which made her distorted face reveal a bewitching charm, at this time Xiaoxue seemed to be no longer a holy goddess in the sky, but a rakshasa of hell and demons.

Hou Jintang couldn't help but be scared when he saw such a Xiaoxue, and he wanted to force Xiaoxue away, but before the palm power was released, he was forced back by the heavy anger on Xiaoxue's body, and when he wanted to palm again, he felt a deep burning pain on his arm, and when he looked down, he was so frightened that he almost fainted. It turned out that his two arms had begun to burn violently where Xiaoxue's hands were grasping, and the black piece seemed to be his burnt bones. Hou Jintang finally couldn't help screaming, only after this scream, he felt a ball of fire rushing out of the abdominal cavity, and then there was a hot feeling of swelling in his body, he saw his skin swell his clothes, and then his skin was swollen by his own tumbling blood, thick blood splattered out, and from the cracked skin he saw his own burnt bones......

There is a kind of fire in this world called heart fire, which burns from the human body, and the pain is not the pain itself, but the tragic condition of seeing one's own flesh and blood flying with one's own eyes, and then slowly being tortured to death by this sense of fear. Those who have desires and requests have a fire in their hearts, and those who have improper intentions have even more fire.

Soon, Hou Jintang turned into a pile of ashes, and the two house slaves saw this tragic situation, where did they dare to stay for half a moment, and ran away without a shadow, and the little woman also screamed and ran away, but how to run far with three inches of foot, only a few steps before falling to the ground, but they still kept screaming, for fear that Xiaoxue would get close to her.

The little woman's shouts made Xiaoxue sober up a lot, looking at her 'masterpiece', Xiaoxue was scared, and she was at a loss for a while, she was not afraid of her murderous hands, but afraid of her own state of mind, because until now she still has a pleasure that is difficult to calm down, as if ...... She hadn't killed enough, even though she had killed people in the most brutal way, and she didn't have a trace of regret or self-blame. "What's wrong with me? How can I do this? She kept pounding her head, she didn't know how ruthless she had become.

The man in Tsing Yi looked at the painful Xiaoxue, and the corners of his mouth actually raised a casual smile.
