Chapter Twenty-Three: The Demon Heart
There was another murder in Qingping Town, and the townspeople thought that the three-tailed fox was dead and could live a peaceful life from now on. The hard-won peace of mind was shattered, so that everyone was in danger, and they did not dare to go out easily during the day.
Master Jin frowned day by day, and sighed: "Oh, the demon poverty in Qingping Town caused the townspeople to die, it really hurts my heart." Two Dao Chiefs, the demon fox has not been eliminated, but why is there such a murder?"
Li Huanian also frowned: "What was incinerated that day was indeed the loss of the three-tailed demon fox. My brother and I also went to the scene of the murder, and there was no demonic spirit. For a while, I couldn't tell what was going on. ”
Zhuang Xiaosheng said: "It seems that I can only stay in this town for a while longer." No one saw it, and the corners of his mouth flashed with a fleeting playful smile.
It's night, and it's quiet.
Since that day, Jin Xian'er came back safely, except for becoming more and more beautiful, nothing else seems to have changed. But Jin Xiaosi faintly felt that her sister was really different. It was she who put on the gorgeous clothes that she had not easily tried before, it was the inadvertent seduction of the corners of her eyes and eyebrows when she talked to people, and the shyness and despair when she smiled lightly.
Jin Xian'er carried a lantern, bypassed the backyard, passed the Yuhuan Pond, and went to open the inconspicuous small back door.
"Sister, it's so late, where are you going?"
Jin Xian'er's heart jumped suddenly, looking for the voice, only to see Jin Xiaosi sitting by the Yuhuan Pond in a daze, holding a fan in his hand, looking like he couldn't sleep and had something on his mind. She calmly said: "Oh, it's not been peaceful recently, I'm worried about the safety of Jinfu, so I'm here to check this place." ”
"My sister is right, you still think of everyone like this. I can't sleep tonight, can you sleep with me like you did when you were a child?" Jin Xiaosi's eyes were shining, and he was very eager.
Jin Xian'er hesitated for a moment and agreed.
The two of them sleep together and share a pillow. Jin Xian'er and Jin Xiaosi faced each other, as if facing a mirror.
Jin Xian'er gently stroked Jin Xiaosi's face as if she cherished her face: "Xiaosi, you are also sixteen this year, it is time to grow up." ”
"When you grow up, will you be like my sister? I will become more beautiful and more distant. ”
Jin Xian'er's hand froze, and she took it back: "How come? You have always been my favorite sister." ”
Jin Xiaosi leaned closer to her and got into her arms: "It's just a feeling, in fact, my sister treats me the same as before." ”
Jin Xian'er's eyes were as cold as the moon, her face was cold, and her words remained gentle: "It seems that my sister has grown up and has something on her mind." You tell my sister, did Daochang Li make you unhappy?"
At the mention of Li Huanian, Jin Xiaosi's face was hot, and Jin Xian'er also felt it, and there seemed to be a layer of frost in her eyes.
"He's very good, the Zhuang murder case made him anxious, it can be seen that I am not happy, and often say some interesting things to explain me. It's me, who seems too ignorant. Jin Xiaosi continued to speak, and Jin Xian'er's heart sank more and more. When the person in her arms didn't move, she got up, only glanced at Jin Xiaosi meaningfully, and left.
Zhuang Xiaosheng had been waiting for a long time in a ruined temple outside the town, and when he saw Jin Xian'er coming, he asked, "Why are you so late today?"
"I was pestered by my sister for a while, and it was delayed. ”
Zhuang Xiaosheng chuckled: "Don't you regard her as an enemy, can you still treat her with such kind words?"
"Hmph, don't worry, there are times when she cries. ”
Zhuang Xiaosheng looked at Jin Xian'er, as if thinking about something, and finally looked straight into her eyes: "Tomorrow is the first seven days when you kill the first person, in order to maintain the operation of the demon fox Neidan, you must kill the second one until you kill seven people." At that time, I will spread rumors that the demon fox ghost has returned and continues to harm people. You're going to have to find an opportunity to expose yourself and try to plant it on your sister. ”
Jin Xian'er smiled very influentially: "In this way, no one in the world will share this face with me again." ”
Zhuang Xiaosheng hugged Jin Xian'er, pecked her lightly on the lips, and suddenly cast a spell that made her fall asleep. Ning Huchen only felt that there was darkness around him, and he couldn't control Jin Xian'er's mind. Suddenly, Zhuang Xiaosheng said humbly: "I don't know which master of the Demon Dao is here?" Zhuang begged to see it. ”
Ning Huchen snorted coldly, it turned out that he suddenly got close to Jin Xian'er, and part of it was because of himself. Thinking that the demonic energy given by the desolation was too strong, she accepted it for the first time, and she couldn't hide it well, so a cultivator could see it. It seems that in the future, I will have to pay more attention to the cultivation of techniques.
Coming out of Jin Xian'er's eyes, Ning Huchen appeared in front of Zhuang Xiaosheng.
Zhuang Xiaosheng's eyes suddenly lit up, and he was shocked: "It's such a beautiful lady!"
It's just that he found that the demonic beauty in front of him looked extremely weak, and her figure was quite bland, as if she was being restrained by some powerful enchantment, eating away at her energy.
Ning Huchen was very straight to the point, and said lightly: "Do you have a request for me?"
When Zhuang Xiaosheng saw her like this, he knelt down and said: "When the younger generation saw Miss Jin for the first time, he felt that her eyes were very special, and it turned out that Niangniang was staying in them. If the younger generation can get your help, it will not be difficult to get rid of my junior brother, even if I return to Baicheng Mountain, the master is unwilling to pass on the position of head to me, I can take it over. ”
Ning Huchen said: "You are a wolf with ambition, and you are a cultivator in vain. It's just that I have no relationship with you and no reason, so why should I help you?"
Zhuang Xiaosheng raised his head, a certain awe faded, full of greed and murderous intent: "You are so weak at this time, even a little demon can kill you." It's good to have your help, but it's not impossible for me to do it on my own, it's just a little more effort. ”
Being threatened by him like this, Ning Huchen forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart. If it weren't for the passing of the grace, if she easily tampered with the past, she would have been counterattacked, and she would have killed this Zhuang Xiaosheng first. Just like that day, she took pity on Hongchen Mo and could have saved her, but if Hongchen Mo didn't die, the latter things would be completely different, and she would be greatly backlashed.
Seeing that Ning Huchen was silent, Zhuang Xiaosheng slowed down his tone: "I have the reputation of a cultivator, but I have not followed the precepts, and my hands have been stained with a lot of blood, which is no different from humans and demons. If the mother has mercy, it will fulfill my wish to become a demon, and I can give you some strength to help you continue your life. ”
"You want my heart's blood. Ning Huchen sighed, the devil, everyone abandoned it, but Zhuang Xiaosheng was bent on becoming a demon: "Reverse is not afraid of this heavy identity, which makes your master look down on you even more?"
"Everyone says that the devil is unforgivable, and the gods are angry and the devil is angry. But I don't think so, the reason why the demons let the other five realms see it this way is because they are strong enough and act ruthlessly, not to mention the false morality. It is rumored that the Demon Dao Demon Lord is the top powerhouse in the Six Realms, calling for wind and rain, and omnipotent. People like him are what I aspire to be!" Zhuang Xiaosheng said to be excited, then stood up, getting closer and closer to Ning Huchen, as if he was bound to win her heart's blood.
Ning Huchen was not afraid of his threats, even if he had already behaved aggressively, she did not move.
This is a new insight. Ning Huchen lowered his eyes, made up his mind, and said, "You can go out." ”
She sat cross-legged on the ground quietly, Zhuang Xiaosheng thought that her goal had been achieved, said thank you, and went outside to wait.
Ning Huchen closed her eyes, she had just spoken to Zhuang Xiaosheng, and she was already at the end of the crossbow, and she really couldn't hold on. The Grace Fade continued to run, consuming all her strength, devouring it to the ground, threatening to break her soul. At present, she also brought the souls of Jin Xian'er and Li Huanian in, and the consumption is even more huge.
After much thought, she finally decided to use the power of Nuwa Stone.
The few traces of demonic energy she had left cautiously poked towards the Nuwa Stone in the confined space, entangled with the gentle luster it emanated. Touching that power, it was like a long drought, which made Ning Huchen feel comfortable in time. Nuwa Shi did not resist her demonic energy, and more and more generously exported her power, flowing out like a stream, moistening each of her meridians.
In the deep pitch-black sky, the cold light of the star seemed to be sensing her from afar, and appeared.
What she feared, what she was looking forward to, came.
