This valley is the valley that Yan Luoniang entered, and the crow on the tree was also the one that appeared during the Battle of Xiuchun Bend. For anyone, as long as they look at it, it will never be forgotten, because whether it is the black crow on the tree or the black smoke like a woman under the tree, there is a unique coldness from the underworld, as long as you see it, there is a sense of fear in your heart. This fear came from nowhere, as if from their eyes without the slightest understanding, and as if it came from the black mist that seemed to infect everything.

"You entered the temple at the time." The woman in the black smoke said. The crow didn't answer, and the woman in the black smoke said, "What's inside?" ”

"I don't know." The crow replied coldly, and then said, "I only know that it is very dangerous in there, and it will die." ”

"We are already immortal." The woman in the black smoke said.

"Being immortal doesn't mean you can't be killed." Raven said.

"You and I are both formless, how can we be killed if we can transform at will." The woman in the black smoke said.

"You haven't come back from being injured yet, since there is an existence like us in this world, there is naturally something that can kill us." Raven said.

"What is it?"

"The lamp in front of the idol can burn me, and there is a man in the shadow of the idol, and I almost can't get out of the temple again."

"Who is it?"

"A ghost in the ancestral hall in front of the river."

"A spirit can't hurt you, what does it have in its hands?"

"I don't know."

A gust of wind blew, and a cloud of black smoke had dispersed with the wind, and the valley fell into dead silence again.

The river temple already has a person who specializes in cleaning the temple and taking care of the incense, he is a native of Heqian Village, and it can be said that he grew up listening to the story of the river god Chen Jing. In the past two years, the world began to be chaotic, his father was killed by thieves in a layman, and his mother remarried, he did not follow his mother, but stayed in Heqian Village, and Li Yingning, who was only ten years old, became an orphan. It just so happened that the people in Heqian Village felt that the River Temple should have a person who took care of the incense and cleaned the temple, so he became a temple attendant, that is, a god attendant.

Ever since he had this divine servant, Chen Jing actually felt that the faith and willingness of Heqian Village had become much clearer and stronger. He didn't know much about the power of faith in his heart, but he only knew that the incense power had some unique uses, which could be turned into mana, not just mana. For example, the reason why the Nightmare Curse of the Revenant Soul on his body did not occur, Chen Jing has been wondering if it is because of the power of incense.

At first, Li Yingning did not dare to sleep alone in Heqian Village, and would go to the village every night after lighting incense, and then she couldn't sleep one night, so she walked towards the River Temple. But when he came to the embankment where the river temple was located with a lantern, he saw that the entire embankment was full of all kinds of animals that came from nowhere, some of which he had seen, some of whom he had only heard, and some of whom he had never seen or heard of before.

He was stunned for a moment, but a ten-year-old child was of course frightened to see so many wild beasts at night, but he did not turn around and run towards the village in front of the river. Because he saw a man sitting on the threshold of the river temple, although he couldn't see it clearly, but his intuition told him that it was the river god he served day and night.

As he strode boldly towards the river god, the beasts in front of him rose one by one to make way for the temple. When he came to Chen Jing, he still couldn't see Chen Jing clearly in the hazy light, not because of the light, but because Chen Jing was the body of the Yin God. However, he was already sure that this was the river god, and even if he wanted to bow down, he found that he couldn't do it. A gentle voice came from his ear: "If you want to do it in your heart, why do you have to do these false courtesies." ”

"If you can't sleep at night, come to this river temple." Chen Jing said, Li Yingning responded: 'Yes', but she was not afraid. He stepped into the river temple from Chen Jing's side, lit the candle in the temple, and took out the lantern in his hand and hung it in front of the temple. Although the dim light does not illuminate the clearing in front of the river temple, it gives a warm feeling. Chen Jing didn't stop him, nor did he say anything. Li Yingning hung up the lantern and retreated into the temple, standing in the dark, her heart pounding, saying that it was not a lie to be afraid, it was the first time he was doing things under so many gazes, and those eyes were not human.

At this time, he suddenly heard someone talking outside.

"Lord River God, lately, the little demon has been confused in his heart, and he is always thinking about what he is cultivating, but when he thinks about it, he always can't figure out what his cultivation is?"

Li Yingning wiped his head and looked out of the door, the dim light couldn't illuminate anything, so he couldn't see who was talking, but he knew that the people sitting in front of the River Temple were not people, and now they could actually hear people's words, so they said that these were demons. Taking a deep breath in his heart, he was both scared and excited, and he seemed to see an invisible door of heaven and earth slowly opening.

"There is a saying in the world that the heart desires, and the step is the trend. But when there is a deed, the heart must be right. We cultivators are the same, what do you think you are practicing for? Chen Jing asked.

"The little demon's cultivation is to get rid of this demon body and turn into an immortal."

"I said before that the immortal represents freedom, this freedom does not only refer to the unrestrained body, but to the soul, only the soul has been free, even if there is no mana on the body, it can also be called an earthly free immortal."

Li Yingning stood inside the door and listened, but her heart was extremely excited. After standing there and listening for a long time, I felt that my legs were sore, so I ran to take the futon of the temple and sat in the shadow of the door to listen. He listened to those unknown monsters like students in the academy, asking questions and listening to lectures, and couldn't help but think in his heart: "It turns out that the river god is really so powerful, even the monsters are his students." ”

Listening to it, there was a warm current on my body, and I didn't feel cold at all. Before he knew it, he was leaning against the door and fell asleep, and when he woke up, there was already a glimmer of light outside the door, and the river god and the monsters who listened to the sermon had already disappeared without a trace. It was all like a dream, and if it weren't for the lantern hanging by the door, he almost thought that what he saw yesterday was just a dream of his own.

From this day on, a lantern is lit in front of the temple every night, and when the lantern is lit, a creature comes to the temple from the darkness.

The starlight and moonlight illuminate the sky and the earth in a hazy light, the shadows of the trees are swaying, and the night wind blows the treetops like ghosts crying.

In front of the ancestral hall in front of the river, a cloud of black smoke slowly formed, turning into a black smoke hazy woman, unable to see her face clearly, only from the figure in the black smoke to see that it was a woman. She looked at the quiet ancestral hall in the shadow of the big tree, and after a while, suddenly, her body turned, and her body turned into a blue-robed person, and her face slowly took shape. If anyone sees it, they will be surprised to find that this person looks exactly like the idol in the river temple.

He did not approach the ancestral hall, but shouted towards the ancestral hall, "Void spirit...... The voice of the Void Spirit ...... was exactly the same as Chen Jing. This voice is the same as Chen Jing, but it seems to have a magical power, although the voice is not loud, and then I want to agree when I hear it. As soon as this sound appeared, many birds and insects immediately chirped in the originally quiet back mountain, but the call just started, and soon it weakened again, and then became inaudible, and finally the dark back mountain was quiet again, but this silence had a dead silence.

"Ethereal ......"

The dark door of the ancestral hall opened silently, as if it had been opened by this shout. A woman stepped out of the dark ancestral hall and stopped at the door. She looked at the Chen Jing outside and said with a smile: "Your transfiguration technique is very subtle, but it is useless to me, and it is impossible for any transfiguration technique in the world to deceive me." ”

The person who transformed into Chen Jing had turned into a cloud of black smoke when the ethereal spirit's words fell, and the woman in the black smoke looked at the ethereal spirit in disbelief and said, "You don't belong to this world. ”

The void spirit stood quietly in the ancestral hall door, behind her was endless darkness, and she seemed to be standing on the edge of darkness and starlight, the whole person seemed to be extremely cold and weak, as if she would be swallowed by the darkness behind her at any time, only to hear her quietly say: "Why don't I belong to this world." ”

"Because you have the same breath in you as I do."

"Hehe, doesn't it belong to this world with the same breath as you?" The Void Spirit chuckled and said.

The woman in the black smoke immediately said: "That's nature, since you are from the same place as me, this world cannot tolerate you." One day, that Chen Jing will not be able to tolerate you. ”

"This heaven and earth contain all living beings, if it can't accommodate me, I will already be destroyed." The Ethereal Spirit said.

The woman in the black smoke laughed and said, "Do you know why our mana is seriously weakened as soon as we enter this yang world, and why there are so few people like us in this world?" Because of the rules of this heaven and earth, the people who set the rules of this heaven and earth back then did not allow us to exist in this world. Now it's just that the people who laid the seal of the rules have disappeared, so we can survive by luck. ”

The void spirit was silent, and the woman in the black smoke said again: "Seeing that the world is about to change greatly, it is the time to redefine the heavens and seal the gods, you should ......" The void spirit did not wait for her to finish speaking and had quietly disappeared into the darkness, the woman in the black smoke was furious, and before she finished speaking, her body turned into smoke and went into the ancestral hall, just when the door of the ancestral hall was not closed, a miserable scream sounded, and the black smoke had already drilled out of the door like a desperate drill, and fled straight into the distance. The void spirit stood there quietly through the crack in the door, frowning slightly, a mirror caressing the palm of her hand.
