The man in the cloak said it very sincerely, and I also knew in my heart that now that I have such a virtuous character, I have no other choice but to stay with him.

With the continuous growth of the Seven Tricks Exquisite Heart, there will be more and more people eyeing me, and I need a strong backing for me to block the ups and downs outside, otherwise, I will not be able to bear the internal and external troubles.

I can't have an accident, I also pointed to the fact that after the Seven Tricks Exquisite Heart was fully formed, I would go to the underworld for a while, and I also wanted to take down Mo Yanping and find his descendants for Old Man Yang.

I nodded vigorously: "I won't run away, I'll listen to you for everything." ”

The true qi of the cloaked man was instilled into my body until the thing in my chest hit my chest hard, and I vomited out a mouthful of blood in pain, and then slowly subsided.

After everything was calm, the man in the cloak scooped me up and threw me on the bed, and I was so weak that I didn't even have the strength to turn over, and I fainted directly.

……

When I woke up again, I was still lying on that bed, in that room, the smell of blood was all over the room, and next to the bed, there was Jiu Gu sitting with a bowl.

When I opened my eyes, my brain was blank for a while, and the moment I saw Jiugu, the whole person was like a child who had been greatly wronged, and finally waited for a parent who could make decisions for him, and he cried out loud.

Jiu Gu hurriedly put the bowl aside, held my hand and comforted: "Don't cry, don't cry, it's okay, everything will be fine." ”

"Nine Aunts...... Whining...... Jiugu ......, "My lips trembled so much that I couldn't speak, I felt that my stomach was full of words, but I didn't know which sentence to tell her, and in the end, there was only a whimper."

I don't know how long it took for my emotions to slowly calm down, Jiu Gu glanced at the bowl on the bedside table, and said, "It's cold, I'll make it hot and then bring it in." ”

The bowl was red, I don't know what it was, I didn't ask, it must have been for me to replenish my blood.

By the time Jiugu came back, I had already sat up, but my body was still very unwell and needed time to recuperate.

"Are you feeling okay?" Jiu Gu asked worriedly.

I nodded: "It's okay, as long as you don't have a seizure, it's fine." ”

"This process must be very painful, but as long as you get through it, the road ahead will be bright, Baili, all of us have hope pinned on you, you must persevere." Jiugu kept cheering me up.

I could only nod my head, and then asked her, "Jiugu, do you know anything about that man?" ”

"Understand, he is our leader, very capable, with him to help us, there is no need to worry about anything." Jiugu is very confident.

But I didn't actually want to get such an answer, so I asked further: "Jiugu, ...... you and him?" What is the relationship? Is it a couple? ”

Jiu Gu was stunned for a moment, and then said hesitantly: "There are many variables in this world, and everyone who can accompany them should be cherished, and there is no need to put shackles on every relationship." ”

I was suddenly a little unhappy in my heart, so to speak, Jiu Gu and the man in the cloak did not have a relationship at all, and the man in the cloak had a great chance of taking advantage of the nine aunts.

I can't say anything directly, I can only hint at her: "I see that he seems to have a lot of say in the underworld, after all, you are a member of our fox clan, different races, it will be difficult to have results in the future, right?" ”

"Bai Li, none of this is important, but you don't have to worry about me, I know what I'm doing, and in the future, you will understand everything." Jiugu obviously didn't want to talk about this topic, "In short, I think it's worth it to follow him." ”

The two were silent, and they didn't know what to talk about for a while, I was preoccupied, Jiugu was desperate to follow the cloaked man, and I couldn't change many things if I wanted to.

At this time, the outside brought in the hot bowl and handed it to me, Jiugu took the bowl and urged me to drink the thing inside, the fishy smell was very strong, and after swallowing it in a big gulp, I drank several sips of water to suppress the disgusting feeling in my heart.

"I know you're staying here, and you're in a hurry to get information from the outside." Jiu Gu said, "But don't worry, I keep an eye on the movements of the fox clan and Ah Ye all the time. ”

"When Ah Ye entered the underworld, we sent someone to follow him, but as soon as he entered, he was attacked by Mo Yanping, but fortunately, Ah Ye avoided it, but the demon was sealed by the Hades King himself, and it was not easy to unlock the seal."

"Sealed by Hades himself? Then Mo Xian went to break the seal at night, and the Hades King would not be angry? I asked.

Jiu Gu shook her head: "No, because the period of the seal has passed for more than a hundred years, the hair demon should have been released." ”

"Now that the deadline has arrived, why didn't the Hades King lift the seal of the demon, and after waiting for so long, he still had to find someone to help her lift it?" Isn't that a paradox?

"You don't have to ask about any of this, you just need to know that Ah Ye is okay for the time being." Jiu Gu said, changing her words, "But now, the pressure on the fox clan may be a little greater." ”

I suddenly became nervous: "What's wrong with the fox clan?" Is Huang Yilin making it bad? ”

"We made a fuss in the Imperial Temple of Xudu City, he will definitely not give up, Old Man Yang also held back his strength and wanted to join him, and directly pulled him down from the position of the supervisor, he was a little bit of a dog jumping off the wall." Jiu Gu said, "Of course, he will definitely not come forward himself, everything is carried out by Huang Zhigao, and their first target is the fox clan." ”

"What about the snake people? Say you want to help us? "For a long time, our side has wanted to cooperate with the snake clan, and with Liu Yi working hard in the middle, it should have results for such a long time, right?

Jiu Gu's eyes flashed, and she hesitated and didn't speak.

My heart suddenly twisted, and I realized that it was not good, so I quickly grabbed Jiugu's wrist and asked what's wrong, is it that the snake clan is unwilling to cooperate with us?

"Hey," Jiu Gu sighed and shook her head, "You don't know, a few days ago, the patriarch of the snake clan, Liu Yi's grandfather, went to the immortal in his sleep. ”

"What!" I was so shocked that I couldn't believe it, "Didn't the old man keep saying that his body was very strong?" How can you ...... good end?"

Jiu Gu also couldn't figure it out: "The patriarch of the snake clan has much better body and bones than your Grandpa Mo, and his cultivation has not stopped, and he suddenly left so quietly, and he didn't have time to arrange the future." ”

"You know more or less about the situation of the snake clan, as soon as the patriarch left like this, all forces began to be in turmoil, originally Liu Yi's mother should inherit the position of the patriarch, but the elders of all parties in the family just suppressed and refused to admit it, saying that she was a female streamer and had no qualifications.

It happened so suddenly, as if God was deliberately trying to embarrass us, he cut us off step by step.

At that time, everyone thought that the immortal death of the patriarch of the snake clan was fateful, and he was busy with his future affairs and the battle within the clan, and no one calmed down to consider other possibilities.

I felt very sad in my heart, and asked casually: "What about Liu Yi?" What is he doing now? ”

Jiu Gu still shook her head: "I heard that the snake clan is in civil strife, Liu Yi is no longer in the snake clan, many people say that he became a deserter, I don't know what it is." ”

"Liu Yi will not be a deserter, I can guarantee his character." I have suffered several times, and I have faced it with Liu Yi, who is a man with a sense of responsibility, and he will never fly first when a catastrophe comes.

"The world is impermanent, what is the truth, we are outsiders after all, I don't want to ask too much, I just hope that Liu Yi's mother can survive this hurdle and completely take down the snake clan." Jiu Gu sighed.

If Liu Yi's mother takes down the snake clan, it will be a great thing for our fox clan, if it is someone else, it will be difficult to say.

I'm afraid that at this time, Huang Zhigao will secretly help some ill-intentioned guys of the snake clan and push them to the top, which will make it even worse for our fox clan.

I pinched my eyebrows, and began to worry a little about Liu Yi again, thinking if he would go to Jiangcheng, after all, in addition to Changbai Mountain, Jiangcheng is the most familiar.

When I thought of Jiangcheng, I thought of Gu Xiaoxiao again.

Since the formation of the Yin-Yang Order, the eyes of those who used to stare at her have also shifted to me, and now, she should also live a normal life with Lu Mingchuan, right?

In this life, I hope she is safe and stable, and she is loved and protected by Lu Mingchuan.

I thought about it, and I couldn't help but ask Jiu Gu: "Jiu Gu, do you have any news of Yunshuang recently?" ”

Jiu Gu's lips trembled, and then nodded, as if she was a little reluctant to mention Yunshuang: "Yunshuang's child used to be very good, I don't know why he has become like this now." ”

When she said it, she seemed a little distressed.

Yun Lu mentioned to me about Yunshuang and Huang Zhigao before, is it possible that they are now public?

"Yunshuang likes Mo Xianye, and she is blindly rejected, so she is sad." I said.

"What bullshit likes!" Jiugu said indignantly, "It's all fake, Yunshuang is the master of a water-based poplar flower in her bones, if she really loves Ah Ye deeply, how can she ...... between Huang Zhigao and Huang Zhiqiang"

Jiugu didn't continue, but I was stunned.

Huang Zhiqiang is Huang Lao's second child, Yunshuang can now do something between the two brothers?

No wonder Jiu Gu is so shameless when she says it, even I think now that Yun Shuang's words about loving Mo Xianye so much were all hypocritical, otherwise how could she do such a ridiculous thing?

Jiu Gu spat and said: "I heard that Huang Yilin has been going to and from the Huangxian clan during this time, and she is also very close to Yunshuang, and she has now become a courtesan. ”

There was so much information that I couldn't react for a while.

The cloud frost in Jiugu's mouth made me feel like a stranger, how could Yun Shuang, who was once so high, fall to this!

Suddenly, he sighed: "Hey, Yunshuang has become like this, maybe it's also because I took Moxian Ye in the first place." ”

"It's not your fault, don't say that Ah Ye can't like her, the most fundamental thing is that Yunshuang's tragedy is completely caused by her father, whether she has you or not, she won't end well." Jiugu said.

Indeed, with such a father, Yunshuang can only be a chess piece forever, even if she is doing this now, who can guarantee that Mo Yanping did not order her to do it in order to balance the Huang Xian clan?

"My Grandpa Bai is okay?" I changed the subject.

"Okay." Jiu Gu replied very simply, "Your grandfather Bai has been stubborn all his life, and when he is old, he has seen it, since he moved to our side, he has been drinking tea and playing chess all day long, and he seems to be bent on things outside the window, but his body is much stronger than before, and now he walks without crutches." ”

"He's good, I'm relieved." Grandpa Bai takes the overall situation into account, and it is not easy to correct his mentality and position during the critical period.

That day, I talked a lot with Jiu Gu, but I never mentioned to her that I wanted to go back to the fox clan or go to the underworld.

After she left, I suddenly figured it out, I can't be impatient or irritable, I have to cooperate with the cloaked man to the end, and now no matter how much trouble is made outside, it's all light.

Those people are waiting, waiting for me to show up, waiting to rob, at that time, these people I care about are the most dangerous, and each one may be used to blackmail me.

I have to kill when I am at my strongest, kill everyone by surprise, and protect the people I care about as quickly as possible, which is what I should stick to.

However, the man in the cloak kept his promise, and the next morning he let Yin Cha take me around the courtyard, which was two meters high, and the tall and heavy vermilion lacquered bronze door cut off all my sight.

I know that this is the Ghost Gate Crossing, which is next to the Heishui River outside, which is the last barrier to enter the underworld.

When I achieve the right result of cultivation, I step out of this vermilion lacquer bronze door, and the bloody rain and bloody wind will immediately hit my face.

I placed a futon on one side of the courtyard and sat cross-legged on the futon, with my face up, facing the white sun in the east.

The sun had only one outline, and the sunlight didn't shine in directly, but it still made me feel a little warm.

Meditate and settle down, run the true qi in my body, and with a stroke of luck, I can feel a powerful yin qi in my body swirling in my body along with the blood.

I thought that the Seven Tricks were in my body, and my body should be warm all the time, after all, that righteous qi could improve my physical environment, but now I found out that I was wrong.

It is like a black hole, no one refuses, but after swallowing it, it will leave what it needs, and if it is not needed, it will spit out those impurities out of the body by making me vomit blood.

I don't know when it will be fully devoured, and I don't even know what it will mean to me when the Seven Exquisite Hearts are fully formed.

Will it remain in my body and coexist with me, or will it precipitate out of my body on its own, move on its own, or even if the energy is too great, and eventually take control of me and turn me into a puppet?

I don't dare to think nonsense, no matter what the Seven Exquisite Hearts will become in the end, I still have to do my best to do what I should do.

……

Maybe it's because I devoured the yin before, and now the yin who guards me are all looking at me from afar, and they don't dare to get too close to me.

That devouring, I attributed it to the fact that the essence that was about to be devoured by the Seven Tricks Exquisite Heart, and in desperation, I wanted to increase my strength by devouring the Yin Difference to fight against the Seven Tricks Exquisite Heart, but in the end I failed.

So I don't think I'm usually going to want to devour yin for no reason, unless another essence in my body goes the same way as the previous one.

What I didn't expect was that day when I was meditating in the courtyard and a yin errand walked in front of me, I swallowed.

The urge to rush up and tear it apart and devour it was strong, but I was sure that my body wasn't rampage through it like it was last time.

This time it's me who wants to devour the yincha!

I was frightened at the time, and when Jiugu came back, I immediately told her about it.

Jiu Gu's face became solemn: "Maybe what you want to devour is not only yin, but the Seven Exquisite Heart itself is the essence of all things in the world, and its formation may be to absorb a large amount of external energy." ”

"At first, these abilities were relatively not high, but in the future, you may want to swallow them even when you see me."

Jiu Gu's statement is really appalling, I can't believe it: "Then I'm not a monster?" ”

"I'll have to ask about this, just stay in your room and don't have contact with others, just in case." Jiu Gu said cautiously.

After she left, my whole body fell into a panic, and if I continued like this, wouldn't I become a vampire?

No, I can't accept it.

Soon the man in the cloak arrived, and Jiugu did not follow.

He carefully inquired about my feelings, and I told him the truth, and after listening, he nodded, as if he was not surprised: "Bai Li, I will send you into the Ghost Gate Pass tonight, and after entering the Ghost Gate Pass, you must devour as much as possible all the evil things you can touch, the more the better." ”

"I'm only giving you three hours, I'll summon you back before three in the morning, so, go in this time, you're on a mission, don't waste a second of your time, it's important to you."

"You have to promise me, after you go in, don't think about going to Moxian Ye and the Hair Demon, you can appear in the Ghost Gate Pass once, and it is likely that there will be no second chance, you will be targeted, so you can't waste this opportunity, understand?"

"I ......" I was a little excited, I didn't expect the cloaked man to make such a decision, and I couldn't help but ask, "Why do you want to devour as many sinister things as possible?" Won't it have a bad effect on my body and the formation of the Seven Exquisite Minds? ”

With so much yin and evil qi gathered in my body, I won't be corpsed on the spot, right?

"No, the Seven Tricks are needed." The man in the cloak said firmly.

I can't figure it out even more, what kind of good thing can be something that needs to absorb the yin and evil energy?

But I didn't ask, after all, it was not easy to get the opportunity to enter the ghost gate, and I was afraid that if I asked too much, the man in the cloak would change his mind.

Then he said, "Everything is up to you." ”

"You rest first, I'll help you prepare what you might need, and I'll call you when the time comes." He finished and went out.

How can I rest well?

Obviously, this is a necessary path for the formation of the Seven Exquisite Hearts, and I must do a good job tonight to meet its needs, but I have doubts in my heart about the need for the Seven Exquisite Hearts to absorb the Yin Qi.

Besides, they have already entered the ghost gate, and it is embarrassing for me not to go to Mo Xianye, after all, it is still unknown whether there will be a chance to enter so easily in the future, and I will definitely not be able to hold my breath.

While waiting for the cloaked man, my thoughts simply turned a thousand times, and I kept struggling with what to do after entering the ghost gate, not only to devour as many sinister things as possible, but also to find Mo Xianye.

And at the same time, you have to avoid Mo Yanping's eyeliner, which is really a headache.

Jiugu said that the location of the hair demon is in the lower reaches of the Lechuan River, if I enter the ghost gate pass, go directly downstream, and go to find the hair demon, it is possible to meet Mo Xianye, and I can also use the hair demon to devour as many evil things as possible, so that it seems to be the best of both worlds.

……

At about eleven o'clock in the evening, the man in the cloak came to me with a cloth bag, which was contained, according to him, to buy road money, and after entering the ghost gate, he directly rewarded the lonely souls and wild ghosts wandering on the banks of the Lethe River, as well as a few black gold stones, which were used to reward the underworld.

Finally, he handed me a blood-red compass.

Seriously, I've seen a lot of compasses, and Grandpa Gu's compass is very powerful, but I've never seen a compass of this color.

"After entering the Ghost Gate, eight hundred miles of yellow sand road, people who enter for the first time can easily get lost in it, and the general compass cannot be used when it comes to it, this blood compass will be given to you, and it can help you when the time comes."

As he spoke, he handed over the blood compass, and when I reached out to take it, he didn't know where to press it, and the blood compass suddenly unfolded, startling me.

And from the unfolded dark compartment, I saw the hidden weapons hidden inside, and there were quite a few of them.

"Do you see how I do it?" The man in the cape asked me.

I nodded, and he added, "This blood compass can not only show you the way, but also protect your life, don't lose it." ”

"I know." I took the blood compass and tried the mechanism a few more times, then put it away.

The man in the cloak led me out, followed by a dozen shadows, and he carried me up to the Blackwater River, where a ferry boat was already waiting.

I thought I was the only one on the boat, but as soon as I stepped on it, a dozen or so people from behind me followed.

I opened my mouth, but I didn't ask, and it was clear that these shady things were for me.

The ferryboat slowly moved on the Blackwater River, and I sat in the cabin, and the dozen or so yin cha stood around the boat, and the ferryman sat in the bow of the boat.

He was dressed in a robe, with a hat on his head, no oars, no poles, and sat there like a sculpture.

I couldn't even make out his face.

Beside him, on one foot stood a black osprey, with its head buried in its wings, resting.

The ferryboat had only traveled a few hundred meters on the Heishui River, and suddenly a thick black fog appeared in front of me, and the fog was so thick that I couldn't see my fingers, and I suddenly became nervous, leaning back against the canopy, and my eyes were looking around, even if I couldn't see anything.

The silence around me was terrible, except for the ferryboat rowing across the water, bringing a little insignificant sound of water, which shook my heart one by one.
