It was not for nothing that Shen Yan was later called the "Son of Heavenly Dao". The entire Qingming Mountain was so big, and all of them were under Xie Qingming's control, and Shen Yan himself was seriously injured, so logically speaking, it was impossible to escape.

However, he lived in this deserted cave for most of the year. Whenever Xie Qingming wanted to find this place, there would always be a frightened bird from time to time, or something went wrong with the puppet she made, as if it was a divine help.

It's just that no matter how good luck is, it will run out one day.

In the spring of the second year, Shen Yan was still caught.

Xie Qingming was already crazy, his eyes were red, and he stared at Shen Yan's face viciously, but his voice was still soft and gentle: "Yan'er is really a bad boy, she has been hiding for so long." ”

Shen Yan wrenched the chains on his body, and helplessly found that this was stronger than the previous one, and it was completely impossible to break free with his own strength.

Xie Qingming watched him struggle with a smile and didn't stop him. When he was quiet, he continued: "You just need to be obedient, why do you want to run?" ”

Shen Yan was silent for a while, slowly raised his eyes, and asked, "If my aunt didn't want to kill me, why should I run?" ”

As soon as the words fell, a slap fell on his face fiercely, the expression of the woman in front of him was distorted, one hand pinched the soft flesh on his face, and slowly strained little by little: "How can you say that?" Wouldn't it be nice for me to make you a puppet so that you can live forever? ”

Shen Yan only felt that his cheek was pinched unconscious, he gritted his teeth, jumped up suddenly, and hit Xie Qingming's head head. The woman was blindfolded by the bang, and her fingers subconsciously let go. Shen Yan covered his face, tears rolling in his eyes.

"Bad boy!" Xie Qingming came back to his senses, picked up the wooden stick on the side, and hit the young man hard. Her strength was great, her expression was terrifying, and her words were very innocent, as if she was teaching a disobedient child.

Shen Yan held his head and rolled on the ground in embarrassment, trying to avoid the beating.

Xie Qingming was tired, threw the stick at will, and left happily, leaving Shen Yan alone, gasping in the small room. He suspected that he might be killed this time.

But no. Xie Qingming seemed to have changed his sex, and for seven or eight days, he had never seen anyone except a few puppets who brought him water and food.

It wasn't until eight days later that Xie Qingming finally appeared, followed by a young man. The young man's eyebrows and eyes were exquisite, and his skeleton was thin, like a small white flower blooming in the field, so that people couldn't help but care for it when they saw it.

Xie Qingming looked at Shen Yan intently looking at the young man behind him, and smiled with satisfaction: "This is my newly made puppet, I was a little nephew of mine when I was alive, how about it, it looks cute, right?" ”

Shen Yan was stunned, and a sense of fear arose in his heart - this was not a living person, but a puppet! What's even more frightening is the information revealed in Xie Qingming's words!

Shen Yan suddenly remembered the puppets he had encountered when he first came to Qingming Mountain—they were so well made that if it weren't for the lack of breath and heartbeat, he would almost have thought that they were living people! Now that I think about it, it's quite weird, how can there be a puppet whose skin is as delicate and soft as a living person? and they did not skin them and put them on them.

Now it seems that those puppets may be made by Xie Qingming from living people!

Shen Yan kept choking and coughing because of panic, he curled up in the corner, without the slightest chance and strength to escape, he could only watch Xie Qingming get closer and closer, he closed his eyes in fear, wanting to escape from this terrible world-

He returned to the stone altar. He still had the Soul Eater Nail in his body that he had pierced last time, and Xie Qingming was not worried. Perhaps it was because Shen Yan's unauthorized escape angered this woman, so she did not drug Shen Yan to make him sleep, but let him wake up and feel the pain.

It was still the same boning knife, the blade was sharp and sharp, and the moment it cut through the flesh of the human body, only a slight pain was felt, and it was not until it touched the deeper flesh and bones that it could feel the pain that made people desperate.

"Ahh He was only fifteen years old, and he didn't want to die yet, and he couldn't die! Who will save him? Who can save him!

The hideous smile on Xie Qingming's face suddenly stiffened, and she stared at the wound on the young man's body in amazement—the green light wrapped around the wound that had just been cut, and the wound was healing rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and it would return to its original state in a short time, except for the scar left on the skin, everything was as if nothing had happened.

Xie Qing was stunned for a moment, and suddenly a scream came out of his mouth! She was crazy and slashed around the boy's body, but no matter how much she hurt him, all she left behind was pink scars.

It's just that the wound can heal, but the pain is inevitable. The boy couldn't stand the torture for a long time and fainted, his face was as pale as paper, and his forehead hair was wet with cold sweat, clinging to his forehead.

Xie Qingming finally gave up, she gasped, covered her face and slowly squatted down, and a sound like crying and laughter overflowed from her throat. She searched for so long and finally found ...... An opportunity to resurrect the Xie family!

Therefore, when Shen Yan came to his senses, he had already returned to the small courtyard where he once lived. The bright sunlight poured into the small room, which seemed quiet and peaceful, and a few small birds chirped and jumped on the branches of the trees outside the window.

If it weren't for the fact that the wounds on his body were still painful, Shen Yan would almost have thought that everything before was just a nightmare.

However, what surprised him was that the Soul Eater Nail on his body had been taken out, and although it had an impact on his future cultivation, it did not pose a big threat in the early stage.

What's more, his meridians are not blocked, and if he wants to escape, he is a little more sure!

But Shen Yan didn't choose to leave in a hurry. He knew that as long as he was still in the mountains, he would be found one day. Instead of hiding in Tibet, it is better to see what kind of medicine is sold in Xie Qingming's gourd.

Shen Yan was sure that Xie Qingming would not kill him again, at least not for now. But Xie Qingming, if he was of no use to her, would not have been left behind so easily.

Shen Yan racked his brains and didn't figure out why he escaped. It's just that Xie Qingming didn't give him time to think, and the day after he woke up, the woman walked into his yard with a book, dropped it and left, without saying a word or giving a look.

Shen Yan was stunned for a moment, and slowly picked up the book, the cover was clean, and nothing was written. When you open it, it's a secret book for the introduction to cultivation.

Shen Yan suddenly remembered the legend about the heavens - every one hundred and eighty years, the immortal cultivators of the heavens would die in large numbers for no reason, and at this time, a new group of cultivators would appear, like a group of carp trying to jump onto the dragon gate, fighting to grab the few places.

Shen Yan didn't really want to cultivate, but if he didn't cultivate, he would die, let alone take revenge. His mind went back and forth a lot, and finally he tightened the pages of the book and began to practice according to the contents of the book.

He was very talented, and in less than half a month, he had already mastered how to exhale and gather qi, and the rest of his cultivation was only accumulated over a long period of time.

However, Xie Qingming couldn't wait for him to grow up slowly little by little, so Shen Yan was blessed by misfortune and obtained a large number of elixir magic weapons from Xie Qingming to practice.

Shen Yan was forced to practice day and night, but he was not unhappy at all. Xie Qingming was smart, but he was confused at this time. Who is Shen Yan? How could it be so peaceful to die? He knew that the current calm was only temporary, and when he cultivated to become an immortal, it would be the period of death!

But he had no choice - a hard encounter with Xie Qingming was tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg, rather than killing a thousand enemies and losing 10,000 by himself, it was better to find another opportunity, maybe there would be a slight turnaround.

Two years have passed, and the turning point that Shen Yan has been waiting for has finally come.

Xie Qingming kept Shen Yan for two more years, and in the past two years, he has been raising him with good food and drink, and countless pills have been poured into him without money, and Shen Yan has been forcibly promoted from an early cultivator to half an immortal cultivator!

Feeling that the time was ripe, she stopped the supply of pills and started her next step.

In the past two years, Shen Yan has become a lot more obedient, let him cultivate when he cultivates, let him take medicine when he takes medicine, and occasionally give him bloodletting will not refuse, and in a trance returned to the days when he first entered Qingming Mountain.

It's just that Xie Qingming didn't have time to study the young man's mind, she called Shen Yan to her room and said straight to the point: "Yan'er, my aunt has raised you for three years, it's time to repay the favor." ”

Shen Yan pursed the corners of his mouth and didn't speak.

Xie Qingming continued: "However, you don't have to worry, your aunt won't treat you badly. When you're done with what your aunt has told you about, how about your aunt letting you go? ”

Xie Qing meditated, she is still soft-hearted in the end, even if it is a kitten or a puppy, she has to have a little affection after raising it for more than three years, not to mention that this is still a living person?

However, Shen Yan did not appreciate it. He looked at the woman's beautiful eyes, and suddenly smiled, shaking the woman slightly stunned: "Auntie, why do you think that I will still listen to you until now?" ”

Xie Qingming was dazzled by the young man's smile, and when he heard the words, he was stunned, and subconsciously wanted to get up from the chair. But before she could make a move, her body was firmly entangled by several vines, and she was tied to the chair and couldn't move.

Shen Yan didn't entangle with her too much, he knew that he was still not Xie Qingming's opponent at the moment, but his current ability was enough to support him to escape from Qingming Mountain!

He used vines to tie up Xie Qingming, plugged her mouth with a rag, and then rushed down the mountain without looking back! In the past two years, he has kept to himself and not resisted, for today! When Xie Qingming gradually relaxed his vigilance, he had already secretly explored all the roads on Qingming Mountain, knowing which one could lead directly to the bottom of the mountain, which one had fewer puppets, and which one was the safest.

His escape went unusually well, and when he stepped on the soil at the foot of the Qingying Mountain, the scenery in front of him suddenly changed—the previous inn was already dilapidated, and the shopkeeper and Xiao Er inside were still the same as before.

Shen Yan was covered in white sweat, and finally understood where the wrongness he noticed at that time came from. These "people" are clearly puppets made by Xie Qingming, and I don't know how many ignorant people have been killed!

Gritting his teeth, he set fire to the inn and headed for the nearest town.

On the way, he met several of his current subordinates. The friendship of the teenagers always came quickly and unreasonably, and after a few painless fights, Shen Yan was recognized by them.

A year later, Yunjing had an additional place called "Cloud Makeup Pavilion". Most of them were young people who had not yet reached adulthood, but their strength was not bad, and they stood out in the Heavenly Chosen two months ago and became the new immortal cultivator.

Soon after, the Cloud Makeup Pavilion became the largest force in Yunjing, with branches in various places. Shen Yan was finally free from Xie Qingming's control, and he could do whatever he wanted - and the first thing he wanted to do was take revenge.

But until now, Shen Yan has not found his enemy.
