That day, the Purple Void Dao Chief also stayed at his house. Ever since he met Ember, he seemed to have turned his gaze from the unborn child to Ember. From time to time he was tempted.

Li Yan, who has lived with Zixu for more than ten years, naturally understands Zixu's character best, and he has never said a word about his many temptations.

"This son, who are you? How did you get here? He finally couldn't help it anymore and asked sharply.

Li Shen sneered, "This is important to you?" The indifferent purple void blew his beard and glared, but he could only nod helplessly.

"Yes, I'm interested in your background!" Since you can't find out, it's better to say it clearly.

"But I'm not interested in telling you!" Ember turned and left.

"You, you...... Will definitely regret it. Zixu stomped his foot behind Li Ash. Hearing this, Li Shen paused, and then strode away again.

Now he understands that this is an illusion, and no matter how he goes, it is impossible for him to leave. It is definitely not an accident that I meet the village where I grew up when I was a child, and the key to this broken mirror must be hidden in this village. And right next to him.

After that day, Zixu settled in this village. In the north of the village, he built a Taoist temple, began to preach Taoism, and helped the village name to cure some diseases, and had a good reputation in the village.

However, he was most interested in Li Yan's family.

On that day, the strange fetus that had been pregnant for three years was finally about to die, and the originally peaceful family at the entrance of the village suddenly became lively, and many villagers gathered in the courtyard. Most of them came to see the excitement, after all, this baby who was born three years ago is rare.

At the woman's cry of pain, the sky was filled with black clouds, and in an instant the day turned into night. The people who were guarding outside the room waited with bated breath.

Yes!

A shrill cry came from the delivery room, and the midwife ran out of the room in a panic, still shouting "freak" in her mouth.

Is this three-year-old pregnancy really a freak?

It is strange to say that after this child was born, the black and oppressive clouds immediately dispersed, and the sky was clear and windy.

Not long after, Zixu walked out with the newborn baby in his arms. The newly born child Zou Baba's mess is really not good-looking. However, the blood-red birthmark was between the foreheads, which was very conspicuous, and with those demonic red eyes, it did look like a freak.

"This baby was born with a vision, and the poor Dao wanted to take him as a disciple and make him a good heart."

"Good, good!" The child's father hurriedly agreed. It was a great honor.

Seeing the Taoist chief say this, the villagers' hearts were half relieved. This child is so abnormal, I am afraid that it will bring disaster to the village, they originally decided to dispose of him after he was born, and now this Taoist chief said so, so let's do it for the time being! The departure of this child is beneficial to them. The villagers cheered in unison, showing their support for Zixu, while Li Shen watched coldly from the sidelines. He is not a person in the illusion, on the contrary, the baby who is held in the arms of the purple void is. Is that who you are? He was a little puzzled, but he was also happy. After all, few people are fortunate enough to see their past so clearly.

"No...... I don't promise! The messy hair of the mother tried her best to the last of her strength, and the cry was heartbreaking. Li Shen felt his heart suddenly collapse, and he wanted to rush over and help the woman who had rushed out of the room with all his might, and in fact, he did so, and before he could think about it, he hugged the woman as fast as he could.

It was the first time that the outsider, Li Ye, had been so conspicuously exposed to everyone's eyes.

"This ...... This is the red-eyed man. You see, this man looks like a baby, carved out of a mold! I don't know which of the villagers found out about this, and shouted loudly, at first a little frightened, but later on, the more justified they became.

Zixu, who was holding the baby, looked at Li Ember with a strange smile, although he didn't understand Li Ember's origin now, but he must have something to do with this child. Now the villagers are so active, and he is happy to watch the show.

Li Yan's eyes were also a little strange when he looked at Zixu, although he didn't know why his master was so interested in him over the years, but he undoubtedly respected his master, and now seeing his master's attitude towards him, his indifferent heart was a little astringent.

"This ...... Child...... It's mine! I...... Won't hand over to anyone! The woman was very weak, but her words were firm.

"Jade ...... Yu'er, the Taoist chief will not treat our children badly, what are you worried about! His eyes had been glued to Li Ye, and he was still a little hesitant when he said, "Our children."

"You...... You...... You ......" the woman's face flushed, and her weak body could no longer utter a complete sentence to refute.

"How do you know that he will not treat your children badly, do you know the details of this Taoist priest who came here as inexplicably as I am, do you know what he wants your children to do? You just think that this child is not allowed in the township and want to abandon him......" Li Shen was really angry, this man, he had never cared about him since he was a child, and what he was thinking about was to give him to others, is this a father's attitude?

"You...... Who are you? What qualifications do you have to say about me, this is our family's family matter, and you don't have to worry about it as an outsider! ”

Hehe, outsider, he has always been an outsider, whether it was before or now, it is not uncommon for him to have such a father. In an instant, Li Ember had regained his senses, he had no need to quarrel with this irrelevant person, he fixed his eyes on Zixu, his master taught him to practice various techniques since he was a child, extremely strict, and even threw him in a cave with all kinds of poisons in order to let him have a body that is invulnerable to all kinds of poisons, which seemed to be too much for his apprentice before, but now it seems to have been premeditated. Like those who tried to capture him before, they made a special request for him. But this time, he wouldn't allow Purple Void to interfere with his life.

"Leave that kid behind!" He looked at Zixu with knife-like eyes, and comforted the anxious woman with one hand.

Frightened by this look, Zixu almost didn't hold the child steady. But how could he let go easily, and in the end, he snorted coldly.

"This kid is already a poor apprentice, you have no right to interfere!" After a long time, Zixu added, as if the momentum that had been stored for a long time had finally exploded.

——————————————————————

"If you want to take him away, first ask me if the sword in my hand agrees!" Ember glared at Purple Void.

==== Zixu is a little weak-hearted, but he still doesn't retreat, this child has a big use, and he must not give up easily.

"What if you don't agree? Let's see which of us has the best sword today! ”

Li Ember snorted coldly, not caring. Zixu has a few catties and a few taels, and he, as an apprentice, knows best. A long time ago, this master was no longer his opponent. "Haha, okay, let's see who has the most powerful sword in their hand today!"

"Dao...... Dao Chief? I don't really want to fight! ”

"Poor Dao is like a person who doesn't count? Today, Poor Dao will have a competition with him, and the neighbors will testify, if Poor Dao loses, this child will stay, if Poor Dao wins, this child will be a disciple of Poor Dao in the future, and no one is allowed to interfere. What does this son think? ”

"Good! I'm not going to give you a chance to win. Li Shen handed the woman to the person next to him, and then walked to the open space in the courtyard.

Zixu shook the child and threw him into his father's arms. Then, before Ember could stand still, he sent the sword in his hand to Ember like a snake, it was a silver long sword, and the delicate and ornate carving showed the preciousness of this sword.

Facing the extremely fast long sword, Li Shen looked indifferent, as if he had expected Zixu to be like this, his ancient saber slashed heavily across the ground, and the sharp sword aura forced Zixu to withdraw the move in his hand. Still so eager for quick success, Li Shen sneered in his heart. Although this master of his nominally taught him various skills such as swordsmanship, in fact, Li Ember had comprehended a lot of things beyond this by his own talent. The three years he spent training outside after the disappearance of Master and Senior Brother were not in vain, and in terms of swordsmanship, Li Yan's attainments had already surpassed that of Zixu.

Seeing this merciless counterattack, Zi Xuan was shocked in his heart, the strength of the young man in front of him was above him, fortunately, his sword was a magic weapon given to him by a mysterious person, and it could also come in handy at a critical moment to help him turn the situation around.

Next, the sword flowers flew, and the two kept circling. After a few rounds, Li Yan's face was calm, but Zi Xuan was in a cold sweat, and several times he was able to dodge Li Yan's fierce sword momentum. It can't go on like this, he has to take a chance to win.

Just when he was distracted, Li Shen slashed from top to bottom with a sword, startling Zixu into a cold sweat. Before he had time to think, he instinctively pressed the mechanism on the hilt of the sword, only to see the silver long sword fly out of the tip of the sword, and fly straight towards the face of Li Ash.

Li Ember was taken aback, he couldn't imagine that this sword was so exquisite, when others were fighting the enemy with all their might, a small sword suddenly flew out of the air was undoubtedly a fatal blow to the other party, but fortunately, this purple void was in a mess at this time, and flying out of the small sword at this time could only block Li Ye's attack. Li Ember sneered, calmly withdrew the long sword, and knocked the small sword out of the air, and the sharp small sword hit the big pillar of the house, and due to the huge impact, it suddenly sank into the pillar.

Seeing that his last hole card had also been exposed, Zixu knew that he had no way to win again, he snorted and said hatefully: "You kid, wait for me!" ”

Li Yanqian glanced at him and didn't pay attention.

It was night, the moon was dark and the wind was high.

A not-so-tall black figure crept into a room.

"How? Did the kid get it? The man in black asked in a cold tone.

"Hmph, don't mention it, let a kid make me yellow!" Zi Xuan gritted his teeth.

At this time, the man in black was interested, laughed coldly, and sat down at a place. "There are still people in this Liyue Village who can't even be evened by you?"

"That person also just came from outside the past few days, I don't know if he will come to look for this child like us. It's strange to say, he also has a demon seal on his forehead, and his eyes are also blood-red, is there a second demon baby in this world? ”

"It can't be!" The man in black immediately interrupted him. "There can only be one demon baby in this world, as for the person you are talking about, I don't know who it is yet, for the sake of you and my great cause, you must get that baby for me! Otherwise......"

"Hmph, you're talking about lightweight, try it yourself?" Purple Void Gambling Qidao.

"Senior brother!" The man in black also seemed to be angry, and his tone was not good. "Don't forget that it's your business, those who achieve great things can't even overcome this little difficulty, and what else can you talk about dominating the world and being above ten thousand people."

"Who? Who's out there! The man in black suddenly shouted. In the silence, there seemed to be a few hints of wind.

"It's just the wind, when did you become so timid! Don't worry, I've set up a lot of formations outside, and ordinary people can't get in! ”

"What if it's not ordinary people? You'd better pray that no one hears, and if things don't work out well, even if you're my brother, I won't show mercy. The man in black flicked his sleeves and disappeared into the night silently.

As soon as the man in black left, Zi Xuan crushed the teacup in his hand and said hatefully: "Zi Yi, you dare to talk to me like this." Someday I'm going to make you regret it! ”

Li Ember knew that Zixu must have some plan to come to Liyue Village, but he heard such a thing tonight. "Demon Baby?" He muttered lowly. What is this demon baby, is he really a demon baby who has brought disaster to people since he was a child? Zixu, what did they go to great lengths to get him for?

After the man in black left, Li Ember lurked back to Zixu's residence. In the darkness, he put a long sword on Purple Void's neck.

"Don't shout!"

"You...... You're the boy in black during the day! Zixu's voice trembled a little.

"Hehe, it's me!" Ember stared straight at him with red eyes. "Don't be afraid, I've heard all of your conversations, and if you want to survive, you'll have to tell me everything you know."

"I don't know what you're talking about, I've been the only one here. You must have heard me talking in my dreams, how can you believe what I say in my dreams! Hehe, this young man, just let me go! ”

"Don't try to fool around, what's going on with that man in black just now? What is a Demon Baby? Even if you don't say it, I can know the answer, but if you don't, I can't guarantee that the sword in my hand will still rest on your shoulder! Li Shen suddenly hooked his lips and smiled, and the indescribable evil charm for a moment subverted his usual cold expression, but this smile was so cold, it was even more creepy than before, Zi Xuan had no doubt that Li Shen would do some inhumane acts to him, and his little heart was almost raised to his throat.

Anyway, I did all this at the instigation of Ziyi. There is no need to keep it a secret for that ungrateful guy, Zi humbly said, "As long as you promise not to kill me, I will tell you everything I know." ”
