After Dong Xi left, Lin Man'er straightened his nose and sniffed. Strangely, he didn't smell a hint of wine. To be precise, it is a rich wine flavor mixed with other flavors.

Lin Man'er was curious, in the past fifteen years, he has not drunk less. Therefore, even if you don't count the wine tasters, it is not much worse. What's more, he was tossed by the swallow language, and he still had a certain understanding of medicinal materials. At that moment, he asked, "Are you drinking?" Why do I smell a smell of medicine? ”

Dongfang Qingtang knocked on the table and said with a sly smile: "This is good wine, do you want to drink it?" ”

Lin Man'er closed his eyes and looked at it with his soul pupil. When he saw the inside of the wine gourd, he seemed to understand something. At that moment, he sighed heavily: "Alas, although I can't say why, I don't think it's useful for you to do this." ”

"You know what I'm doing?" Dongfang Qingtang sat up straight, stared at Lin Man'er and asked.

Lin Man'er nodded and said, "Well, I probably know!" ”

Dongfang Qingtang frowned, pinched the wine gourd on the table, and asked a little out of shape, "It's really useless?" ”

"Intuitively, I don't think it's useful. However, I think it should be solved. ”

"Is it up to you to fix it?" Dongfang Qingtang lay back again, his eyes full of self-deprecation.

Lin Man'er smiled and said in a slightly ridiculous tone: "That's not good, you have to make up for the reward I deserve first, and then I can solve it for you." ”

"Reward? Is not my reward for you great enough? ”

"When did you give me a reward? Net flickering. After a pause, he lowered his head and muttered, "The mother-in-law who promised before is gone." ”

Dongfang Qingtang was amused, and asked rhetorically: "I sent you dozens of disciples of the Longmei Bang, because you don't know how to use them, and you pull them to accompany the wine." Now, are you embarrassed to ask me for a reward? I think you're begging for a beating. ”

The black mandala chimed in: "The master is right, this kid is just underbeaten." ”

Lin Man'er arched his nose and said with disdain: "Hmph, don't think that if you are higher than me, you will be afraid of you." Wait, I'll drink your petals sooner or later. ”

"Ouch, why wait if you want to make wine with the petals of the concubine's body? The concubine body can satisfy you now. After speaking, he stretched out his palm, and a black mandala flower grew in his palm.

After Lin Man'er saw it, he unceremoniously grabbed the mandala flower with his mental power. However, the moment he seized, the surrounding environment changed in an instant. I saw that the Yingsong Hall suddenly disappeared and was replaced by a black space. Obviously, it's a fantasy again.

Lin Man'er snorted, and directly urged the Purple Pole Soul Pupil, intending to crack the illusion. It's a pity that this time and that time. Lin Man'er didn't really grasp the power of the Purple Pole Soul Pupil, and the black mandala used the body.

In other words, Lin Man'er was in the body of the black mandala at the moment. It can be said that the situation at this time is both true and false, even if it is replaced by Dongfang Qingtang, it is difficult to get out of trouble. Otherwise, the Firefox King of the Eighth Order Great Perfection would not be powerless to fight back.

After Lin Man'er tried many times to no avail, he simply lay down and didn't move, he wouldn't die anyway.

In the Yingsong Palace, the black mandala reported the situation inside to Dongfang Qingtang. After Dongfang Qingtang heard this, he first shook his head, and then ordered: "You're welcome, give him some hardship." ”

In the illusion space, Lin Man'er suddenly noticed that something was approaching. However, when he urged his divine sense to investigate, he could not see anything. Seeing that the sound was getting louder and louder, Lin Man'er was in a hurry and gave birth to a spiritual fire.

Luckily, the firelight allowed him to see what was approaching around him. However, if he had to choose again, he decided not to look at it. Because, around him were countless familiar and unfamiliar faces.

Lin Man'er subconsciously stepped back, but before she took a few steps back, she felt that she had touched something behind her. Lin Man'er wanted to turn back, but she didn't want to turn back. Because, he has a strong premonition that what is behind him must be the last thing he wants to see.

Suddenly, there was a soul-stirring murmur around them. Upon closer inspection, it seems to be calling out his name; On second listen, it doesn't seem to be. Real and ethereal, messy and delicate. In short, everything seems to be full of contradictions.

Lin Man'er was afraid, this was the first time he felt deeply afraid, the fear of death, the fear of darkness, and the fear of the unknown......

Lin Man'er couldn't stand it anymore, and he began to go crazy, hiss, and escape...... It's a pity that like the shackles of fate, you can't escape it, let alone avoid it.

Suddenly, Lin Man'er let out a violent roar, and then her eyes emitted a dazzling purple light, as if she wanted to penetrate everything. Not only that, but his body suddenly floated into the air, and his limbs swayed loosely like zombies. After three or five breaths, an evil aura enveloped the whole body.

The next moment, the screams of a black mandala suddenly sounded in the Yingsong Palace. I saw that she was lying on the ground, and a fist-sized gap had appeared in her abdomen. Apparently, her body was pierced. Or rather, it was bitten. Because, there is still a black petal left at the corner of Lin Man'er's mouth.

At the same time, Dongfang Qingtang, as the owner, actually spurted out a mouthful of blood. Moreover, her primordial spirit was pulled out by an inexplicable force.

Seeing Lin Man'er approaching step by step, Dongfang Qingtang's main battle pet, Qinglong, appeared on his own and blocked in front of his master. Unfortunately, the mourning sword flew out between Lin Man'er's eyebrows, nailing the green dragon to the wall behind the plum blossom throne.

Dongfang Qingtang spit out another mouthful of blood, and his whole body collapsed directly to the ground. The black mandala took a strong breath and stood in front of Lin Man'er, explaining, "The master is not trying to torture you, but to let you pass the test of the Moon Worship Sect smoothly. ”

It's a pity that Lin Man'er has completely lost her mind at this moment. To be precise, the current Lin Man'er is not the previous Lin Man'er. Rather, a demon who has been unsealed.

The black mandala was choked by the throat and, with the weakening of its primordial spirit, turned into a black mandala flower. Seeing that his life was in danger, a dragon's groan suddenly sounded outside the Yingsong Palace. This power is far stronger than Dongfang Qingtang's green dragon.

The next moment, a sloppy old man appeared behind Lin Man'er.

Lin Man'er threw down the withering mandala flower in his hand and turned to look at the old man. At the same time, the mourning sword suddenly disappeared, and when it reappeared, it was already pointing at the center of the old man's eyebrows. Unfortunately, no matter how much the Mourning Sword struggled, it was always difficult to move.

The sloppy old man sneered: "Although the old man's cultivation is damaged, it is not something you can shake. ”

After speaking, he stomped on his feet and directly shook Lin Man'er and the mourning sword out of the Yingsong Palace. However, in less than three breaths, Lin Man'er came back. Moreover, its state is even more evil than before. At the same time, Dongfang Qingtang and his main battle pet Yuan Shen were directly swallowed by Lin Man'er. The Mourning Sword gains strength and attacks the sloppy old man again.

The old man restrained the mourning sword, stared at Lin Man'er, and said with a serious expression: "Your Excellency really let it go?" ”

After a moment of silence, a vicissitudes of voice came from Lin Man'er's body.

"Ignorant and self-righteous fools, what's the use of keeping them?"

"Your Excellency, think twice, there must be a reason for this."

"I only look at the results, not the reasons."

"The result is unknown, how can it be relied on?"

"A moment in time, a moment in life and death. These people, because of their own ignorance, should be held responsible. ”

"The husband should not die because of his mistakes, it is not his will, or he is fated."

As soon as these words came out, the Yingsong Hall suddenly fell into a dead silence. After about ten breaths, Lin Man'er fainted to the ground like a deflated ball. As for the primordial god who was swallowed by him, he also returned to his original body at that moment.

The sloppy old man finally breathed a sigh of relief and cast a spell to help Dongfang Qingtang recover. About half an hour later, Dongfang Qingtang opened his eyes. However, looking at his demeanor, he is still in shock!

The sloppy old man sighed heavily: "Alas, you have to think more about the consequences in the future. If you shouldn't touch it, stay away as soon as possible. After speaking, without waiting for Dongfang Qingtang to respond, he turned into a green dragon and took off the clouds. There is no way, Dongfang Qingtang knows his identity, and he can't continue to stay.

After another half an hour, Dongfang Qingtang finally recovered. She looked at the dilapidated Yingsong Hall and could only let out a wry smile. Subsequently, he took the primary and secondary divine pets and Lin Man'er to Longmei Source Pool to heal his injuries. On the way, when passing by the medicine garden, I picked some medicinal herbs to improve the efficiency of healing.

As mentioned before, since Dongfang Qingtang succeeded as the dean, Longmei Yuanchi has become her private place. For many years, no outsiders have entered except Fenglan. Now, Lin Man'er is extremely weak, if he doesn't enter the Longmei Source Pool to recuperate, he may miss the trip to the Moon Worship Sect.

Of course, compared to Lin Man'er, the black mandala is even worse. Therefore, Dongfang Qingtang no longer paid attention to Lin Man'er after throwing him into the Longmei Source Pool. At that moment, he first took out the treasured pill and distributed it to the main battle pet Qinglong. Then, he urged Mu Baolu with all his strength and cooperated with rare medicinal materials to heal the black mandala of the second battle pet.

The reason for this arrangement is that Qinglong itself has a strong self-healing ability. It stands to reason that even if he is split in two, he will be able to recover on his own. However, the real injury to him was not in his body, but in his spirit. If it weren't for the limited power that the Death Sword could call, coupled with his powerful racial talent, I am afraid that his soul would have been scattered.

After a day and a night of treatment, the black mandala was finally saved. Dongfang Qingtang breathed a sigh of relief and asked what had happened. The black mandala told the story of what happened in the illusion without missing a word.

After Dongfang Qingtang heard this, he fell into deep thought. After a long time, she seemed to understand, and sighed: "Alas, we have done a very stupid thing. ”

The black mandala was still puzzled: "Master, his subordinates are just honing him with illusions, and there is nothing excessive?" ”

"That's the problem, and I blame my momentary negligence for forgetting that he has been practicing for less than a hundred years. Oh, yes! If you have empty cultivation and your mind is not strong, how can you bear it? Dongfang Qingtang looked at Lin Man'er, his eyes were full of remorse and self-blame.

Perhaps, it was this heartfelt truth that made the one in Lin Man'er's body speak again.

"The avenue is realistic, sticking to the heart of Dan, the forerunner Lingyun, and the latter climbing. Therefore, those who are in the clouds are determined, and those who climb the ladder are determined. However, the way of heaven is impermanent, the way of heaven is constant, it is said to be true, it is called to be false, and when it is dying, I don't know how to do it! ”

Dongfang Qingtang has always been smart, but now he doesn't know what it means. Intuitively, though, she thought it was time for her to let go.
