As the second largest city in the Kyushu mainland, Ziyun City naturally inevitably has people coming and going, and as soon as there are more people, all kinds of inns and restaurants have also been built one after another. Among the countless inns and restaurants, Piaoxiang Building is undoubtedly the largest one.

At this time, the Tianjianmen group stayed in this restaurant. Most of them seem to be very familiar with this place, and as soon as they enter the city, they go straight to this Piaoxiang Building. Only a simple teenager like Ye Xiaotian would only stay in the mountains and cultivate with peace of mind.

The innkeeper warmly entertained them, and carefully prepared nine first-class rooms for everyone, so that each room could accommodate two people, because it happened to be six female disciples, there was no contradiction in the number of people, and Ye Xiaotian was naturally in the same room with Chen Yuan.

In the middle of the night, Ye Xiaotian suddenly exclaimed and sat up directly, he was dreaming again. Since he returned to Zixia Peak from Tongtian Peak, he has often had this nightmare, and this dream is different from what he used to do, it seems to be a continuation of the previous dream, in this dream, the black figure is still galloping in that killing battlefield, but he can clearly feel that the black figure's movements have become a lot sluggish, and every time he swings the long sword, he feels a little heavier.

Seeing this scene, he was faintly worried about the black figure, and he was also angry because of his anger, and he even thought that he would become that person, and swing the long sword in his hand to kill all the enemies in front of him. However, he found that he could only be a spectator and could not do anything at all, and then he saw that the black figure was quickly submerged under the flood of attack. Then he let out a cry and woke up.

Sitting on the bed, Ye Xiaotian gasped for breath, thinking of the dream just now, he couldn't help but feel palpitations. "Why, why do I feel this way?" he asked himself, frightened. In the previous dream, when he felt that he was the black figure in the dream, he would wake up from the dream. And now in the dream, in the dream, he seems to naturally accept that he is a black shadow, and follows him with anger and despair, and that dream seems to be more real.

This had to shock Ye Xiaotian, thinking that these strange changes in himself were caused by the cultivation of the "Soul Sutra", he had the idea of stopping the cultivation of the "Soul Sutra" many times, but whenever this happened, he would always think of Sister Shi'er's sad look, so he gritted his teeth and persevered.

After gasping for a while on the bed, his breath gradually calmed down, as usual, he didn't feel sleepy, the first few times he had come by cultivating, but tonight, he suddenly wanted to go out for a walk. He looked at the bed opposite, and saw that the bedding on the bed was extremely neat, and there was a trace of a figure somewhere. He suddenly remembered that Chen Yuan hurriedly went out after dinner tonight, and never came back at all.

It stands to reason that Chen Yuan, who has always been lazy, is most likely to lie in bed at this time, but after eating, I don't know where he heard the news, saying that the talented and beautiful women in the city met friends with poems on the bank of the Liyang River, talked about the past and the present, and guessed the lantern riddles, so he who has always been pretentious immediately went to the house, and he even invited Ye Xiaotian and his junior sister to go together.

Of course, Ye Xiaotian refused without hesitation. In his mind, since he had chosen the path of monasticism, he should draw a clear line with the world, and he was not interested in participating in such worldly things. However, Mu Xueying followed, her reason was that the master handed over Chen Yuan to her supervision, so she had to watch him and not let him do anything "hurtful and unreasonable".

So, Ye Xiaotian went to bed early. Gently pushing open the door, Ye Xiaotian stepped into the courtyard sprinkled with silver light, it was the middle of the night, the moon in the sky was extremely clean, covering the entire courtyard with a layer of bloom, the night breeze was blowing, faintly with a hint of fragrance. He glanced around the courtyard for a moment, and then saw a man sitting quietly on a roof somewhere. The man, dressed in red, was staring blankly into the distance, not knowing what he was thinking.

Ye Xiaotian recognized that it was Sister Shi'er, and stopped walking and glancing at the moment, but stood in place and stared quietly. At this moment, the bright moonlight was undoubtedly a little more beautiful in his eyes.

It's just that the good times didn't last long, and the footsteps he started still alarmed Ye Shi'er after all. She turned her head and saw that it was Ye Xiaotian, she was stunned for a moment, but asked softly, "Xiaotian, can't you sleep too?"

Ye Xiaotian didn't answer, but nodded. So at Ye Shi'er's signal, Ye Xiaotian jumped onto the roof and sat next to Ye Shi'er.

After sitting quietly like this for a while, Ye Xiaotian finally couldn't help but ask, "Sister Shi'er, do you have something on your mind?"

"Well, I'm suddenly a little homesick. Ye Shi'er nodded, and turned to Ye Xiaotian and asked, "Xiaotian, have you ever felt homesick suddenly?"

"Homesick?" Ye Xiaotian smiled bitterly, "I don't even know where I was born, so why am I homesick?"

Hearing this, Ye Shi'er's expression couldn't help but darken, and she said softly: "Xiaotian, I'm sorry, it reminds you of sad things again!, but once I asked Senior Brother, and he said that you were picked up by Second Senior Brother from a small village near Blackwater City, and that small village is said to have an unexpected disaster, which led to the destruction of the entire village, so if you go to Blackwater City this time, you can go to the old site of that village to see if you can find anything." Well, that village seems to be called Creek Village. ”

"Xiaoxi Village?" Ye Xiaotian was startled, and his voice became a little louder, he suddenly remembered the dream he had nine years ago when he first stepped into cultivation, and in that dream, the village he stayed in was Xiaoxi Village. After nine years, he had forgotten the nightmare, but at this time, Ye Shi'er mentioned it, and the scenes in the dream appeared in front of him again, making his face a little pale.

"Xiaotian, what's wrong with you?" Ye Shi'er saw his strange appearance and asked worriedly.

"Ahh

"Tired, hmm, then let's rest early!" Ye Shi'er said and wanted to stand up, but as soon as she stood up, she was immediately stopped by Ye Xiaotian, "No, it's okay! Hmm, let's talk for a while!"

"Poof!" Looking at Ye Xiaotian's embarrassed appearance, Ye Shi'er couldn't help laughing, she shook her head and said with a smile: "Xiaotian, are you so afraid of me? I'm not a tiger, I can't eat you." Isn't it, what ulterior secrets do you have?"

Ye Xiaotian panicked again, and hurriedly waved his hand, "No, no!"

"Okay, look at your nervous appearance, I'm going to tease you!" Ye Shi'er laughed out loud again.

Looking at her happy smile, Ye Xiaotian was stunned, and then laughed too.

"Hmm, just say whatever you want, I can't sleep right now anyway!" Ye Shi'er sat down again, looking at Ye Xiaotian with beautiful eyes. Under this bright moonlight, her eyes were even more hazy with beauty, Ye Xiaotian looked at her beautiful face, and then panicked, and hurriedly lowered her head, and asked vaguely, "Sister Shi'er, I want to ask you, after you arrive in Blackwater City, will you also go to your hometown to take a look?"

As soon as the words came out, Ye Xiaotian regretted it, because he inadvertently mentioned Sister Shi'er's sadness again, and also said something that made her suspicious.

Sure enough, after listening to Ye Xiaotian's question, Ye Shi'er was stunned for a moment, and then wondered: "Xiaotian, I don't seem to have told you where my home is, how do you know that it is in Blackwater City?"

"Eh, I, I, I was told by Senior Brother!" Ye Xiaotian had to use Qin Yun as a shield, after all, Qin Yun was on the mountain now, and it was not easy to verify anything.

"Senior brother, well, he does know about this!" Hearing this, the doubts in Ye Shi'er's eyes disappeared a lot, and this also made Ye Xiaotian breathe a sigh of relief.

"I won't go, going to that place will only increase my sadness!" Ye Shi'er looked at the moon in the sky and sighed.

"Then, do you already know who the murderer is?" Ye Xiaotian asked cautiously.

Ye Shi'er didn't feel puzzled this time, because Ye Xiaotian had already known from Ye Qingshan that the reason why they stayed in Ziyunju was because their hometown was slaughtered by a group of black-clothed people, but they survived by luck and were taken to Ziyunju by Yunshan.

"Of course I know that they are demon cult demons, demon cult demons who only slaughter others to please themselves. In order to make their cultivation faster, they can not hesitate to betray the people closest to them, they regard human life as grass and mustard, and all things as dust, and they will only intrigue and calculate others every day. And this is also the unanimous evaluation of demon cultivation in the world. ”

"Demon Cultivator, is it really so terrifying?" Ye Xiaotian pursed his lips and asked.

"Of course, what they like to do most is to let other people's families ruin!" Ye Shi'er said coldly, as if venting the resentment that had been deposited in her heart for a long time. Ye Xiaotian could even feel the strong hatred in her eyes.

"Then, how are we going to distinguish between demon cultivators?" Ye Xiaotian couldn't help but ask again.

"It's very simple, due to the murderous nature of demon cultivation, the surface of the body will exude an evil aura, just like ......" When she said this, Ye Shi'er suddenly stopped, she turned her head, and looked at Ye Xiaotian with complicated eyes, and the meaning in her eyes seemed to be self-evident. After a long time, she suddenly asked, "Xiaotian, are you a demon cultivator?"

Ye Xiaotian denied it, he could only deny it, he even asked himself in his heart, if he was a demon cultivator, would Sister Shi'er not hesitate to draw a sword against her? He was not sure, but he could be sure that if there was such a day, he would never draw a sword against her.

Without it, just because she gave him a glimmer of hope in his lonely youth.
