"This lingering dust is really the next book, and I directly opened a piece of land here." I said with a wry smile when I saw this. "I don't know what will become of her when we pull her down from the altar and shatter her dreams."

The people on the boat began to disembark under the drive of the demon army and entered the gray tents in the clearing, each tent was covered with a pool of clear water, and the water in the pool was crystal clear, emitting a faint white smoke.

I didn't go into the pool to bathe, and when I saw the water in such a pool, I knew that it must not be for nothing to do this, but I didn't have much time to investigate the reason for it in this kind of place at the moment, and then I changed into a black robe on the stone bench in the tent, shrouded my body in it, covered my head with my hat, and walked out directly.

After coming out, under the leadership of the demon army, he returned to the boat, and found the eldest aunt and Ruyi, who were also covered by the black robe, and the three of them did not speak, and slowly approached step by step in the direction of Shuofang City along the boat.

When I approached Shuofang City, I could feel the bloody aura coming to my face, although it was not as obvious as the previous cities, but it still couldn't be hidden, let alone hidden, everything that had happened here, and the bloody master in the city.

According to the eldest aunt, the ship was parked at the northwest corner of the gate of Shuofang City.

There was an open space surrounded by a group of demon soldiers with knives and guns, and everyone on the ship was driven in the middle of the clearing, quietly waiting for the next day's dawn to begin the worship.

Standing here, I can see at a glance the city wall of half of Shuofang City, which is heavily guarded by heavy soldiers, looking at the people who come to worship, but when I look intently, I find that in the sky above Shuofang City, a red cloud is shrouded, like blood and qi, condensed here.

Feeling the bloody aura condensed in the red clouds, I frowned slightly and said, "It seems that this First Blood Saint still has some ability. ”

Ruyi's gaze was the same as mine, and he also fell on the red cloud, and said lightly: "This should be the closest person to a demigod we have come into contact with at the moment, and if we want to kill her, I'm afraid it will take a little more trouble." ”

"How sure are you?" I asked.

"It's up to you." Ruyi said.

"What do you mean?"

"Fighting with the demigods, it will inevitably be a life-wrenching, if you are afraid of these living people, then even if you and I join forces, I am afraid that it will not be her opponent, but if you give it a go, I think, even if you pay some price, if you want to kill her, it is not impossible." Ruyi said.

Hearing this, I nodded, looked at the worshippers who had been secretly slowly piling up outside Shuofang City, and said, "But if we don't take advantage of it now, I'm afraid that it will take a lot of trouble for us to even enter the city." ”

"What about Sun Jiuli?" Ruyi asked. "How's he talking to the Ninth Evil Monk?"

"I don't know." I sighed. "Through my understanding of the Ninth Evil Monk, in our contest with Yingchen, he will definitely not make a move if he does not have an absolute advantage."

"In that case, let's forget about him." Ruyi said indifferently. "I don't like working with someone like that, especially when it comes to life-threatening matters, and I don't want him to show up."

But just as the two were talking, there was a sudden commotion in the crowd in front of them.

A group of demon soldiers rushed through the crowd and came straight to us.

Everyone couldn't help but look at the hundred demons in front of them, the horror revealed in their eyes, and their bodies retreated step by step.

"Which one is surnamed Bai, and which one is Ruyi?" The demon general, who was the leader, directly called out my wishful name.

I didn't wrinkle when I heard this, and glanced at Ruyi in surprise, and found that a touch of murderous intent flashed in her eyes, and at the same time, the spiritual power around her began to fluctuate, and my heart was shocked, and I grabbed her hand and motioned for her to calm down.

"My surname is Bai." I strode out of the crowd and stood close to the demon generals. "You're looking for me?"

It didn't seem to be afraid of me at all, and the demon general paused for a moment, and then said, "Is Ruyi also there?" ”

I nodded. "Yes."

"Come with me, Master Sun wants to see you."

After speaking, the demon general turned around and walked back, leaving only me and Ruyi with confused faces.

Lord Sun?

Sun Jiuli?

The two of them followed behind the demons, kept walking forward, through the crowd, until they came close to the city wall, only to see Sun Jiuli, who was dressed in a black costume and had a cold face, surrounded by a large number of demons, beckoning to me and Ruyi.

"You guys stand down first, I have something to ask the two of them." Sun Jiuli lightly dismissed the many demons around him, and when the two of us came to his side, he looked around vigilantly, and said in a low voice, "It's not exposed, right?" ”

I shook my head. "If it's exposed, you'll be able to see us so easily."

But Sun Jiuli shook his head and said: "I didn't mean that, but the people of Jiuquan Mansion have already found out that the two of you have mixed in, and they are sending people to check you one by one in the worship crowd, wanting to find you out directly, so as not to miss the worship ceremony." ”

"So fast?" I looked at Sun Jiuli in disbelief. "How did they find out about us?"

"I don't know." Sun Jiu also shook his head suspiciously and said. "This matter was told to me by the Ninth Evil Monk, in order to arrest you, the four protectors of the Lingering Dust are all dispatched, and they are already on the way to find you."

"It can't be that you kid told the Ninth Evil Monk, and the Ninth Evil Monk told Yingchen again, right?" I looked at Sun Jiuli suspiciously.

Sun Jiuli's head shook like a rattle, and hurriedly defended: "Before I came back to tell him about you, he told him about it, I don't know which link you went wrong, it is impossible for the news to spread so quickly." ”

I nodded silently.

At that time, Ruyi and I planned to blend into the crowd to participate in the pilgrimage, and then wait for the opportunity to do something to Yingchen The plan was set when Sun Jiuli left, with Sun Jiuli's figure, there are few people in the world who can catch up with him, even if it was exposed at that time, how could the news be known by the people here before Sun Jiuli came back?

"Could it be that person?" Ruyi asked.

I was stunned for a moment, then shook my head and said, "Auntie won't, and even if she does, the news can't spread so quickly...... Could it be that Yingchen guessed that we would take this step and prepared to deal with it in advance? After all, the movements we made in the south of the ancient road before were not small, and it was impossible for her not to know about it at all. ”

"Don't worry too much about this first, since it has happened, you have to think of a way to deal with it." Sun Jiuli thought for a while and said. "Otherwise, if I directly summon you into the city in the name of the Ninth Evil Monk, and stay with him, it may be relatively safe."

"Safe?"

"Hmm."

I laughed. "The battle with Yingchen is just in these few days, why hide, and through our understanding, the so-called worship that Yingchen is engaged in is not just to satisfy some of her power*, she must have other plans, and every time she worships, she will choose the four protectors to accompany her, with her strength, do you think she will be afraid of anyone?"

Sun Jiuli was stunned, obviously not quite understanding what I meant.

I sighed, looked at him and said, "If the worship is just to satisfy her selfish desire for power, then why bother to send the four Dharma protectors to find us after learning that Ruyi and I have appeared, and also to ensure the smooth progress of the pilgrimage, is this worship really as simple as you said before?" ”

Seeing Sun Jiuli's stunned face, I shook my head and said, "It seems that this Ninth Evil Monk didn't tell you everything, and the decision not to cooperate with him is also correct." ”

Sun Jiuli suddenly came to his senses, then his eyes widened and said, "Are you saying that Yingchen has other plans for this worship?" ”

I nodded. "It's inevitable, but for what purpose, there's no way to know."

"Then you're not going to cooperate with the Ninth Evil Monk?" He asked again.

"When is it, how can I still pin my hopes on others everywhere, and everything has to be restrained by others, since he has not cooperated in good faith, then just continue to be the puppet of Jiuquan Mansion, and slowly make his Spring and Autumn dreams."

But as soon as the words fell, in his eyes, Sun Jiuli's face changed.

It was like a calm lake being thrown into a stone, spreading ripples, and the face gradually blurred and couldn't see clearly, and then an unfamiliar face, along with the whole person, changed and appeared in front of me and Ruyi.

His face was like jade, his eyes were like stars, he was holding a book in his palm, and he was looking at us with a faint smile.

He was a scholar.

The person in front of me, the moment he appeared, a thick bookish breath came to his face, looking chic and dusty, but with the momentum of worrying about the world, looking at each other for a moment, I actually had a feeling that I saw a saint who was really educating the world.

"The Ninth Evil Monk?"

After a short period of confusion, I came to my senses, and I also had some speculation about the scholar in front of me.

"Finally met." The scholar looked at me and smiled faintly.

"Sure enough, it's you." I looked at the scholar in front of me in disbelief, no matter what, I couldn't associate him with the name of the Ninth Evil Monk.

"Surprised?" He seemed to guess what I was thinking, and said lightly. "I was originally a scholar, occasionally a fragment of the Book of Heaven, after nine generations and the soul is immortal, and then entered the Nine Springs Mansion, made a writer, but I can't get used to the Nine Prisons and Nine Springs as the reincarnation of the soul Constant disputes, so I moved the mind to calm the troubled times in the world, and killed a lot of people, so people changed their names from the Nine Scholars to the Nine Evil Monks."

I was slightly surprised when I heard this, and then smiled: "It seems that the rumors are not credible, I thought that you were not much better than the appearance of the Blood Saint." ”

The Ninth Evil Monk shook his head with a smile and said, "Now that we meet, is the sincerity enough?" ”

I turned my head to look at Ruyi, and in her eyes, I found signs that the gloom had faded, and then I said to him, "Then what you said before is also true?" ”

The Ninth Evil Monk nodded and said, "Before Sun Jiuli came back, I received the news that it was very likely that the two of you would be mixed in with the worship crowd this time, waiting for an opportunity to make a move on Yingchen, and the four great Dharma protectors had already begun to pay attention to the investigation before you came, and wanted to get rid of you as soon as possible." ”

"I'm afraid they're going to be disappointed." I said. "Even if it's the four of them, they have the confidence to capture me and Ruyi?"

"They definitely can't do it, but the two of you will definitely take care of the hundreds of thousands of people left in this ancient road, with these people as a threat, are you sure you can fight with all your strength without any scruples?" The Ninth Evil Monk asked.

I didn't deny the words of the Ninth Evil Monk, just like Ruyi reminded me before, can you really ignore these hundreds of thousands of living beings?

I don't have an answer myself.

"And as you speculated, Yingchen is so excited to engage in these worships, not just to satisfy his own selfish desires, but to use the worship of hundreds of thousands of people to transform his blood saint body." The Ninth Evil Monk continued.

"Transform into a Blood Saint?" I looked at him in surprise and asked. "Why?"

"After all, the body of the Blood Saint is condensed by the killing of millions of living beings, even if the Heavenly Dao closes its eyes and ignores it, and there are still the existence and restrictions of the Great Dao, it will not allow such a person to become a demigod, but once she gets enough of the weather aura condensed by the worship of hundreds of thousands of people, and fades the body of the Blood Saint that the Great Dao cannot tolerate, then the last layer of window paper she is away from the demigod can be easily pierced."
