Chapter 198: The Candle of Nightmares
In the darkness, only the bright pupils of the girl's eyes could be seen faintly flashing red.
It wasn't long before the pitch-black treehouse was lit up again.
Only this time, the light showed a slightly eerie dark green, reflecting the strangely shaped trees around the treehouse, and the images seemed to have changed, as if they were spirits trying to break free from them.
If you look closely, the place where the light shines is not a lamp, but an incense candle as thick as a finger, which is slowly burning.
It is all black, but the burning candle flame is a strange dark green, which makes people feel depressed and dull just by looking at it.
"Nightmare Candle?" Jun Yan narrowed his eyes, "There is still a Devil's Candle in the world. β
Ye Leng'er also saw the strange incense candle, and was a little puzzled: "What is the Devil's Candle?" β
She'd never heard of it.
Jun Yan grabbed the girl's wrist, pulled her closer to the side, and slowly explained, "It's a ghost clan's thing." β
Ye Leng'er was still a little unfamiliar with the word ghost clan: "Underworld? β
Jun Yan shook his head and said, "It's not the underworld, it's the ghost clan." β
"Isn't the underworld the same as the ghost race?" Ye Leng'er raised her eyebrows, it was just a different name.
Jun Yan reached out and touched her head: "That was a long time ago, you weren't born at that time, back then, the underworld and the ghost clan were actually two completely different worlds, and later the ghost clan and the underworld were drawn together, and since then only the underworld exists." β
Ye Leng'er really didn't know that there was such a thing, when Daddy was still there, he often told her and Sister Ah some interesting things in the Six Realms, but he never mentioned the relationship between the underworld and the ghost clan.
She asked curiously, "Why is there no ghost clan?" β
Jun Yan took her a few steps closer and picked up the incense candle that seemed to appear out of thin air: "Because the ghost clan's heart is not right, and because of this ghost candle." β
Ye Leng'er looked stunned, and then immediately grabbed his wrist and shook it vigorously: "Then don't throw it away!" β
This seems to be a dangerous thing, why does Brother Shenjun still touch it directly with his hands?
Jun Yan was amused by her somewhat excited reaction, and said softly, "I'm fine, don't worry." β
Ye Leng'er frowned, not quite convinced: "Is it really okay?" β
Jun Yan smiled and bowed: "Do you know what the Devil's Candle is used for?" β
Ye Leng'er shook her head.
"The ghost clan is born without tears and blood, and the Devil's Candle made from their tears and blood is a powerful weapon that no one can match in the Six Realms. Back then, the ghost clan produced a large number of Devil's Nightmare Candles, causing the human world to become devastated. β
The ghost clan, which was born without blood and tears, suddenly appeared?
Jun Yan seemed to be deliberately selling Guan Zi and didn't say it directly, but he just mentioned that the human world has become miserable......
There was a momentary blank in Ye Leng'er's mind.
Then, a nerve suddenly tensed, and the pupils shrank, as if they had seen the scene with their own eyes: "The ghost clan captured a human woman and forcibly reproduced offspring, and their offspring were normal children with blood and tears, so they extracted blood and tears from the children born with human women and made them into a candle of nightmares." β
After finishing speaking, Ye Leng'er herself was shocked, her eyes widened slightly, and she looked at him with a somewhat helpless expression: "I, how could I know......"
She's just now, it's about the same as Yanzhi's ability to predict, right?
However, she never knew that she would have such abilities......
Jun Yan pinched her soft palm: "Do you think you are very powerful?" β
Although this is a bit embarrassing, Ye Leng'er really thinks so.
Then she heard Jun Yan say: "Now you are only one-third of what your father was back then, and you are still far from the realm of the demon king." β
Ye Leng'er was stunned.
What do you mean?
Do you want to tell yourself that Daddy was much more powerful than her at the beginning, so that she wouldn't get carried away?
The look of excitement in the girl's eyes retracted, and her self-confidence was hit a little hard.
Jun Yan raised the corners of her lips slightly, and put her big hand on her little head: "However, you are still young, there is still room for improvement, your father may not be as good as you at your age." β
Ye Leng'er suddenly raised her eyes to look at him again, but with a little complaint.
A slap in the face and another piece of candy? Brother Shenjun is really getting better at playing tricks on her now.
However, she will not suffer so easily.
Thinking of this, Ye Leng'er's eyes rolled, her little hand touched her chin, her expression was slightly heavy, and she thought deeply: "Brother Shenjun's tone of voice is more stable and old than Daddy's, speaking of which, Brother Shenjun doesn't know how many hundred thousand years old he has lived......"
She quietly glanced at Jun Yan's expression, and sure enough, seeing that the smile on his lips was gone, she pursed her lips and resisted the urge to laugh in her heart.
"If Daddy is still there, Brother Shenjun still has to call him an old man's father-in-law, although Daddy is young and handsome, and he can't see how old he is, but it seems that Brother Shenjun is much older than him, so this generation is ......."
Ye Leng'er stopped talking about this, because she had successfully made the man's whole face sink.
She had better stop provoking him.
Ye Leng'er turned around slowly, intending to walk away while he hadn't had a seizure.
Then, she only moved a moment, and her arm was grabbed. Go to Audiobook.com
"Leng'er." Jun Yan called her in a very gentle voice.
On weekdays, Ye Leng'er likes to hear him call his name in such a gentle voice.
But it is clear that this gentleness is not the other's gentleness.
He asked, "Brother Shenjun, are you very old?" At this moment, his voice was a little softer than before.
Ye Leng'er suddenly turned around with a smile on her face: "Ahem, Brother Shenjun is not old, Brother Shenjun is the best-looking man in the God Realm, Leng Er likes Brother Shenjun the most!" β
The intent to be courteous is very clear.
Jun Yan just narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at her quietly, the smile on the corner of his lips was still the same, as if nothing had happened, and continued to talk about the topic of the Devil's Candle before.
Ye Leng'er secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that she had finally been fooled, fortunately she was clever, and next time she must not be dead.
Because Jun Yan is broad-minded, did he let her go? Of course, she was too naΓ―ve.
Her "unscrupulous words" today will double the price in the near future.
Straight to the point.
Once lit, the Nightmare Candle will live forever, and no one can stop its flame until its mission is accomplished, or it fails completely, except for the person who lit it.
Ye Leng'er listened, and some unbelieving people blew hard at it.
As a result, the faint green flame didn't move.
It's really evil enough!
"What if you remove the burning piece?" Ye Leng'er said.
Jun Yan looked at her, hooked her lips and said, "Do you want to see how amazing the Devil's Candle is?" β
Well?
Before Ye Leng'er could speak, he saw his fingertips scratch the middle part of the burning black incense candle, and in an instant, the incense candle was split in two, and the burning half fell to the ground.
It's just that after falling, the fire is not extinguished, and it is still burning.
Before Ye Leng'er's eyes could be withdrawn from the ground, the other half of the incense candle in Jun Yan's hand "rubbed", and the wick inside actually ignited by itself.
Jun Yan let go of his hand, and the two incense candles that had been split in two fell together.
The next moment, it fused back together and became the original whole.
Jun Yan bent down to pick it up, and there was not even a trace of scratches on it.
It's incredible!
Ye Leng'er looked at it for a long time without blinking, and when she came back to her senses, her face changed a little: "This thing is really a bit evil, let's throw it away......"
"Are you really going to lose it?" Jun Yan raised his eyebrows slightly, and his tone was a little regretful, "This may be the last candle of the devil's nightmare in the world." β
"Why do you keep things that hurt people? And it can't be destroyed. Ye Leng'er frowned, "Let's go and see the three brothers of the Dome first......
"Dome! Stopβ"
Finally, I heard the movement.
The two looked at each other, then immediately walked towards the source of the sound.

On the other side, in the temple.
"On the Enlightenment God, I have searched all corners of the God Realm, and I have not found any trace of the Moon God's Canglan, and I can already conclude that she is not in the territory of the God Realm."
After saying this, the Celestial Patrol stepped back.
The gods in the temple immediately began to talk.
It's ridiculous, for so many years, there has never been a disappearance in the Divine Realm.
"The moon god has always loved to travel all over the world, didn't he often go to the human world when he was young? Presumably, this time it was just a long way out, and it wasn't something missing. β
"I think that's the same."
Someone started the way, and then there were more echoes.
"Fengshen, you have always had a good relationship with the Moon God, did she also go to the Nether to play this time?" The topic suddenly led to Liwen.
Li Wen was still thinking about the last time he saw Canglan, she was very panicked, it looked wrong, suddenly someone called him, he was stunned for a moment, and then came out of the queue and bowed slightly to the head of the Yuan.
"Back to my senses, I thought that although the Moon God likes to travel, he will never be so unfocused on the overall situation, and he has been gone for several days, and the immortals of the Moon God Palace have also said that she has never returned all night for so many years."
"So," said Liwen, after a pause, "it's very likely that something happened to the moon god. β
Fengshen is a friendly person, his popularity is very good, and what he said is reasonable, so many people agree with him.
Of course, there are objections.
"Something happened in the Divine Realm? Does the god of wind think that one of us among the gods here is the murderer of the moon god? β
