Linglong was startled, hurriedly stepped back, the mouth of the bag was loosened, and a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl sat up, with a rope tied to her wrist and a hemp core in her mouth, with a frightened and painful look on her face.

Honglian pinched off the rope in her hand, took out the hemp core in her mouth, and said softly: "Don't be afraid, child, it's okay." ”

The little girl cried "wow", and no matter how much she comforted Honglian, it was useless.

Linglong saw that there were still three pockets on the carriage in the distance, and hurriedly ran over, and after a while, she brought over a man and two women, three older children in their teens who were crying and crying.

Linglong muttered angrily, "The Demon King is doing bad things again." ”

After all, Honglian was profound, and she looked at the four children carefully, and couldn't help frowning. Linglong asked, "Auntie, is there anything wrong?"

Honglian said: "I can't guess it for a while, but it's really weird." ”

"What's weird about these four people?" asked Linglong.

Honglian shook her head: "It's not that they are weird, but this matter is weird, Bo Pet has stopped catching children for many years to refine medicine, is it ・・・・・・?"

"Catch children to refine medicine?!" Linglong and Xuanying were both surprised.

Honglian snorted: "Bo Pet is an alchemist, he wants to refine into an elixir and ascend to immortality, but he is going to the side door, specializing in catching babies and virgins for alchemy. ”

Xuan Ying frowned and said, "He's really crazy." ”

Linglong suddenly said: "Oh! I know, these four children must have been caught by him for alchemy." ”

Honglian continued: "He refined his own daughter and did not refine the elixir, since then he has become crazy, smashed the Dan furnace, and swore not to refine the pill again, is it ・・・・・・?"

Linglong interjected: "Auntie, don't care about whether you are spoiled or not, what should you do with these four children?"

Honglian thought for a moment and said, "That's it, you two wait for me here for a while, and I'll come when I go." After speaking, he grabbed the hands of the four children and disappeared.

However, after half a pillar of incense, the red lotus hurriedly returned with the help of the escape technique, and the four children in her hands were gone.

Linglong was full of suspicions in her heart, and she didn't care to ask about the whereabouts of the child, so she hurriedly said, "Auntie, should we go to find Bo Pet or go to see that Habu?"

Honglian pointed to the top of the mountain with her hand: "Master Habu lives in front, go see him first, and talk about the matter of the pet later." Then he hurried up the mountain.

When the three of them came to the top of the mountain, they saw wild flowers and grasses, shrubs and stone piles, no houses or houses, only an ancient pine growing on one side of the cliff. Linglong looked at Honglian suspiciously: "Auntie, this one named Habu has moved?"

Honglian smiled: "Master Habu doesn't like to be disturbed by others, so he lives in a hidden place that ordinary people can't find. She came up to Honka and tapped it three times. I saw the vines that were densely wound on the ancient pines staggered and wriggled as if they were alive, and then three old vines with the thickness of arms hung down in front of me like snakes.

Red Lotus motioned for Linglong and Xuanying to grab one each, Linglong thought it was funny, and without thinking about it, she reached out and grabbed one, and saw the rattan swish, and began to slide down with her.

The deep valley was full of clouds and mist, and it fell I don't know how deep, Linglong suddenly felt that her feet touched the ground, and she looked down hurriedly, and it turned out that she had fallen on a protruding strange rock, and there was a stone cave on the cliff wall next to it that could only allow people to bow down.

After a while, Honglian and Xuanying also came down, Honglian came to the stone cave, leaned down and got in, Linglong and Xuanying glanced at each other, and hurriedly followed.

Don't look at the entrance of the cave is very narrow, but the space inside is very large, four or five zhang square, and the surrounding stone walls emit a faint fluorescence, so although there is no light inside, it does not show any dim light. The furnishings in the cave were very simple, a stone table, two stone benches, and a small rattan bed covered with a cloth curtain.

Red Lotus came to the stone table and called softly, "Master Habu!"

No one answered for a long time.

Linglong whispered, "Is he there?"

Honglian nodded with a smile: "He's sleeping, don't disturb him, let's wait." ”

"Oh. Linglong looked around boredly, suddenly found something, and pulled Xuanying's sleeve. Xuan Ying was injured by her hands, and she always felt disgraced in her heart, so she glanced at her and said, "What are you doing?"

Linglong didn't see Xuan Ying's unhappiness, and still pretended to whisper mysteriously: "What do you see that?"

Xuan Ying followed her fingers and saw a large mass of gray-white hair-like things on one of the stone benches, moving together. Xuan Ying thought it was a cat, so she turned her head and ignored her.

Linglong felt bored, her big eyes turned around, and she walked over in two or three steps, and grabbed the gray thing.

When Honglian found out, it was too late to stop it, and she couldn't help but pause: "Alas! Linglong!

Where is Linglong reminded, he has already exclaimed, and threw it away. It turned out that she lifted the thing up and looked at it carefully, and found that it was an extremely ugly human head, with a gray complexion, a wrinkled face, like an air-dried eggplant, and a hair and beard three or four feet long, and at the same time opened her eyes and glared at Linglong when she was caught.

Linglong took seven or eight steps back, patted her chest, and said in horror, "Yes, yes, what is it?"

Honglian glanced at her reproachfully, and hurriedly said to the head: "Linglong didn't mean it, are you okay?"

The man's skull flipped over, and he said angrily: "I was sleeping soundly, and I was suddenly thrown face down on the ground, do you think it's okay?"

Honglian couldn't help but laugh "poof": "You really don't know that we came in?"

The man sighed, and his long gray hair suddenly split into two strands at the left and right, and at a very fast speed, it was automatically braided into two braids, and at the same time, the two long beards were also braided into two braids. And when he saw two braids on the ground, one of his hair was on the ground, and the man's head stood up, and the tip of his braid was spread like a finger, and he wiped it on his face, and then he "walked" to the stone table, and "sit" on the stone bench.

Where have Linglong and Xuanying seen this kind of strange scene, and they can't relax for a while.

Honglian said: "Master Habu, after more than ten years, are you okay?"

"Master Habu, are you the master Habu that my aunt said?" Linglong's ears couldn't believe it, and she hid away as if she had seen a ghost.

Habu said in a weird way: "What?

Honglian hurriedly said: "Master Habu, don't be like a child. ”

Habu smiled: "This is the little girl back then, who has grown so big." Alas, I don't know if there is anything abnormal in the past ten years?"

Honglian said: "It's nothing too special, the only strange thing is that it seems that she doesn't need to cultivate, she is born with unknown mana, but she doesn't know how to use it." ”

Habu suddenly lowered his voice: "Has that Linglong Pylon Pagoda ever appeared?"

Seeing that he was nervous, Honglian hurriedly said, "It only appeared in one of her sleeps ten years ago. ”

"Is there any difference?"

Red Lotus recalled for a moment and said, "It's a little different, when Linglong first appeared, the pylon was almost transparent, but in that reappearance, there was a faint square small black dot inside, just like ・・・・・・ like the Heavenly Thunder Seal in the sky. ”

Habu listened and thought for a long time, nodded and said, "Maybe the Demon Emperor is not dead. ”

Honglian let out an "ah" and hurriedly said, "Dingtian is not dead, where is he?"

Habu smiled almost helplessly, "I'm just guessing. ”

Honglian didn't believe it: "How can you speculate randomly?

Habu raised his mustache and pointed to his face, and lamented, "Look at me, don't you understand?"

Originally, Honglian also felt strange when she saw Habu at first glance, although Habu only had a head left, he was also clear-eyed, where is it like now, dry and lifeless. So he asked, "yes, how did you become the way you are?"

Habu said sadly, "Because my mana is almost gone, and I can no longer sustain my life・・・・・・ I will die." ”
