2. Sudden awakening
Hua Buyu looked at Mu Yuanfeng's hand, his was very warm, but not as touching as the tenderness in his eyes, she looked up at him, and after hesitating for a while, she couldn't help but agree, "Okay!" ”
Mu Yuanfeng happily held his hand tighter.
Inside him, the sleeping scourge was still quiet.
Lin Feng leaned against the corner with his eyes closed, the corners of his mouth slightly hooked, and his face was calm.
And the fire on the sleeping soul became more and more obvious, and he seemed to be a little excited, and the yin qi around him fluctuated constantly.
……
Demon Burning Heart Valley, the heart of the demon world
Most of the demons in the demon world are gathered here, and this is almost the same as the town in the human world, except that it is larger than any town in the human world.
Hua Buyu, Yan Liang and Mu Yuanfeng came here in disguise, and there are a lot of people in Burning Heart Valley today, it seems that something big is going to happen here!
Mu Yuanfeng was wearing a tulle robe from the Demon Realm, looking elegant and handsome, but it was almost the same as when he was in the Heavenly Realm, and at that time, he fascinated many little immortals in the Heavenly Realm.
Hua Buyu was wearing a tulle dress, this time she no longer wore cyan, but chose a gorgeous red, which looked more radiant, which naturally attracted the attention of many people, but the cold air inadvertently revealed in her eyes still made people dare to look from afar, not close.
And Yan Liang is a light yellow robe, plus a gown of the same color, he looks like the son of an ordinary family in the mortal world, and he is even more cute! He kept holding Hua Bu's hand, and walked forward with his head held high in Mu Yuanfeng's envious and jealous gaze.
They walked side by side on the street, Hua Bu's curiosity was aroused by Yan Liang again, and he followed him left and right, looking around, Mu Yuanfeng has been following them, and he has followed this and that.
They were not too conspicuous in the crowd of people in the demon world, but in the distance, there seemed to be a pair of resentful eyes looking at them, and when they stopped in front of a cake shop, those eyes left in a hurry.
The three of them didn't find any trace of the man, but they still bought cakes, and then found an inn to live in, they are still not sure that Yanqichi is really here, so they can only stay and inquire about the situation first.
In the evening, they came to the most famous liquor shop in the Valley of the Burning Heart, they had just arrived, and if they were blatantly exposed to the situation in the hall, they were afraid that it would attract people's attention, so they came to the mixed liquor shop, where they should be the most able to hear some gossip.
It's not too late, but there are already a lot of people gathered here, Hua Buyu used his divine sense to probe, these people are almost all people from the demon world, and there is no trace of people from the demon world for the time being.
But this is the case, the more Hua Buyu feels that it is not simple.
As night fell, there were more and more people in the wine shop, and almost the twenty or thirty tables in the entire lobby were filled.
In order not to arouse the suspicion of others, the three of them ordered a lot of wine and food, and they drank from time to time, and listened attentively many times.
And Yan Liang's ears are already sensitive, and he can even listen to the words of pedestrians on the street.
Wine shop, almost all come to drink and relax, or have some fun, there is not only wine here, but also a lot of girls who accompany the wine, Hua Buyu guesses, this is the reason why this wine shop has a good business, because the girls who accompany the wine here are all young and beautiful.
At first, almost all they heard was something inconsequential.
But the three of them are not in a hurry, the hard work pays off, after they did it for two hours, their attention was focused on the innermost table, there were four people sitting at the table, Hua Buyu saw at a glance that one of them was a pig demon, and looking at his ruddy complexion and stable breath, he should have been a demon for a long time.
One of them was a locust tree spirit, and this person's eyes were always staring at the woman opposite, so he should like that woman.
One of them is the Tiger Demon, this person and the two-winged tiger in the Demon Forbidden Domain should be close relatives, but he has not been a demon for a long time, and his wings have not yet taken shape.
There is also a woman, and the locust tree spirit has been watching. This woman has a bewitching posture, ruddy complexion, and the most striking thing is her slender waist, which is full of charm between her gestures, and she is a snake demon.
The four of them were talking nonsense at first, until three glasses of wine were over, and the locust tree spirit began to shake off the secret.
"Have you heard? The Spirit Devourer is showing signs of awakening! ”
"Spirit Devouring Beast, what's it?" The tiger demon asked sullenly while drinking wine.
The locust tree spirit looked at the tiger demon with disdain, "You don't even know about the Spirit Devouring Beast?" But it can't be helped, you're just a little demon! ”
The tiger demon looked at him with wide eyes in an instant, "Why don't you know how to speak?" Although Lao Tzu has not been a demon for a long time, he is fighting alone with you, and it will not take you down in a moment, believe it or not! ”
When the snake demon saw it, he instantly persuaded him, "What are you doing here?" Everyone is a friend, and if you drink too much and say the wrong thing, you just take it to heart! ”
The tiger demon glared at the locust tree spirit fiercely, then stopped talking, lowered his head and continued to drink.
The pig demon was eating the beef in sauce, and he didn't have the energy to listen to them.
The snake demon took care of the locust tree spirit each, twisted his body, and then said angrily: "The spirit devouring beast has been sleeping in Yushui Yuan since Pangu opened the sky, how could it suddenly wake up?" ”
"And I heard that the Spirit Devouring Beast was the first demon beast that appeared after Pangu opened the world, it could devour and decompose any soul in the world, and when there was a great war for the first time in the human race, it was sealed in the Yushui Abyss by the Heavenly Realm because it devoured too many souls, and made it sleep! Why did it suddenly wake up? ”
Seeing that the snake demon seemed to be quite interested, the locust tree spirit blushed and said in a throat, "You also know where I live!" I'm a tree spirit who lives in Yushuiyuan, and I've been with that spirit beast for tens of thousands of years, although I've never spoken to him, and I've never seen it sober. ”
"But I can feel it, it's waking up! A few days ago, I suddenly heard a sound of footsteps in my sleep, you know, no one enters or leaves there on weekdays, I thought there was a bad guy, so I woke up. ”
"Then I went in the direction of the sound, and guess what?" The locust tree spirit pretended to look at the three of them mysteriously, and the other two were still uninterested, so he turned his gaze to the snake demon and asked himself: "I saw a black shadow, he may have also sensed my presence, like a gust of wind, and disappeared all at once!" ”
"I didn't dare to go and see the Spirit Swallowing Beast in person, so I used a branch to probe, and I found that the Spirit Swallowing Beast's eyes were open, and it glanced at the branch weakly, and then closed its eyes. I thought I was mistaken, so I didn't look closely! ”
"I didn't expect it to move a few days ago, you also know that the Spirit Swallowing Beast is like a kitten, even if it moves, its movements are extremely gentle, but fortunately, I have already put my two tree trunks there to monitor, I found that it actually sat up, frowning thoughtfully at it."
"Really, by no means I'm bragging, it's really frowned, and it's been like this for the past two days!"
"Then can you see what happened to the man in black?" The snake demon looked at the locust tree spirit with interest.
Her eyes were already as charming as talking, and when she looked at the locust tree spirit like this, the soul of the locust tree spirit disappeared in an instant, how could she still have a brain to think, she just looked at the snake demon obscenely, "No!" I only have you in my eyes, how can I see anyone else! ”
"Hahaha......" The snake demon covered his mouth and laughed, and the three men at the same table were confused.
Mu Yuanfeng turned her head to look at Hua Bu silently, she was frowning at this time, "Yu'er, what's wrong?" ”
Hua Buyu looked up at Mu Yuanfeng, "Do you know the Spirit Devouring Beast?" ”
Mu Yuanfeng shook his head, "I don't know!" Never heard of it! ”
Hua Bu said: "I know! The spirit devouring beast is indeed an ancient demon beast, it feeds on the soul, it is an extremely strong demon beast, during the human war, it took the opportunity to devour a lot of human souls, and finally was hunted down by the heavenly realm, and disappeared, I always thought it was dead, but I didn't expect it to be sealed in the Yushui abyss by the heavenly realm. ”
Mu Yuanfeng nodded, "Then why are you interested in this Spirit Devouring Beast?" Even though it can devour souls, it's not very special! ”
Hua Buyu looked at Mu Yuanfeng with a solemn face, "That's because you don't know that it has other abilities, if you do, you won't feel like this!" ”
"What ability?" Mu Yuanfeng and Yan Liang asked at the same time.
Hua Buyu suddenly clenched his fists, as if he was a little embarrassed, and after a long time of silence, he said: "The Spirit Devouring Beast can also devour and decompose the soul!" If we reach an agreement with it, when we catch Yanqi Pond, we can let the Spirit Devouring Beast devour him, and then release the soul of the second brother! ”
Mu Yuanfeng's eyelids jumped slightly, as if he hadn't figured out that there was still such a method in the world, so was it appropriate to use it on himself?
Yan Liang also looked at Mu Yuanfeng, he suddenly thought of Scourge, if there really was such a demon beast, could it help decompose Scourge from Mu Yuanfeng's body?
Hua Buyu saw that the two of them also looked like they were thinking, so she probably guessed what they were thinking!
"You don't have to think about it so much, after all, whether this spirit swallowing beast is really in Yushuiyuan or not remains to be verified! Even if it's in Yushuiyuan, how can we get it out, even if we can get it out, we don't know if it will help us, and it's been locked up for so long, it's been sleeping, why is it suddenly awake this time? ”
"Who is the black shadow in the mouth of that locust tree spirit? These are all suspicious points, and it may also be a game set up by Yan Qichi, after all, he knows how much we want to take my second brother's soul out of his body! So the most important thing for us now is to figure it out step by step, but don't be impatient, if you are not careful, you will fall into the trap of Yanqi Pond. ”
Mu Yuanfeng and Yan Liang looked at each other for a moment, and then nodded at the same time.
