I suddenly remembered the story of the evil mother that Ran Xu told me under the burial dragon pit, among all the methods of eternal life, only the method of attaining the Tao through the evil mother requires a very huge sacrifice, and will eventually become the appearance of a human being and not a ghost or a ghost, which is what I call the "insect syndrome" in my heart, in fact, there is no such species in the world, and after thinking about it, I know that there is no other way to cause and effect in the world, and if I figure this out, I will naturally be able to see a lot.

I saw the mural of the evil mother, I heard Ran Xu say that the painting was broken, and its original appearance should be red and yellow, symbolizing that the evil mother has gone through the tempering of immeasurable karmic fire and has transcended reincarnation. Ji Weiqi said the legend of the demon king at the time, and later according to Ran Xu, it was confirmed that almost all of them were made up, of course, this legend has been designed since the beginning, although there is no demon king, but in the legend of the mother of evil, the fictional country is called the "demon country".

Suddenly, there was a scream.

I saw one of Orlan's men standing on a steep slope, frozen in ice, and before I could save him, he fell from it and shattered into pieces. I subconsciously took a few steps back, and saw an ice crystal-like butterfly flying out of the ice cave, flapping its ocean-like blue wings, translucent, and when the wings flapped, it would scatter crystalline powder, and it circled in the air for half a circle, flapping its wings and flying towards me.

There is no doubt that this butterfly is the Xuanbing Ancient Butterfly depicted in the mural.

I threw myself on the ground and looked at the tragic death of that person, knowing that this kind of Xuanbing Ancient Butterfly was not an idle person, and I didn't dare to slack off at the moment. In the dim cave, the tracer light of the ancient butterfly shone slightly. At this moment, I shot a throwing knife and shot down the ancient butterfly in the air.

"Lin Kun, are you okay?" Ji Weiqi immediately picked me up.

"It's fine."

As soon as I finished speaking, I saw that although the Xuanbing Ancient Butterfly was hit and shattered into more than a dozen Xiaoice crystals in the air, all of them fell to the ground, but it was not dead, and after squirming a few times, it actually gave birth to wings again.

"Your sister." I opened my eyes wide, gasped, and said: "No wonder you want to hide Ye Heping in this ghost place, this ancient butterfly seems to be a monster, just now there was only one that almost wiped out our entire army, if it becomes a dozen, in this narrow ice cave, we are afraid that we will die without a place to bury." ”

"Don't be ambitious!" As she spoke, she took out a small powder bag from her waist bag, crushed it and sprinkled it into the air, I had seen this trick, and knew that she was going to incinerate these ancient butterflies with dust, so she immediately flashed aside.

Ji Weiqi sprinkled the powder packet, then unscrewed the fire fold, threw it into the air, and with a "boom", a piece of fire swept by.

I thought that this fire could burn the Xuanbing Ancient Butterfly completely, but the most unexpected situation happened. I saw the Xuanbing Ancient Butterfly on the ground, and its body suddenly changed from a flickering blue color to a fire-like red, and its body was still transparent, and even the blood vessels in its body could be seen clearly.

"What the fuck is this?" I was terrified to see it, the green tendons on my head jumped, and the terrifying aura spread to all corners in an instant, although my nose smelled the scorching breath of flames, but my body felt extremely cold and almost completely suffocated.

"Devils." At this time, I heard Ji Weiqi say a dialect that even I don't understand, Ji Weiqi speaks standard Mandarin, and suddenly changed to the authentic Wuyue dialect at this time, which itself has a mystery in it, but I am elusive for a while.

"What's that?" I looked at her with a confused expression.

"I only heard Uncle Qi say once, this is a demon insect in the ancient Yue language, inhabiting the ice, touching the body into ice, this thing will not die when it encounters fire, it can transform into a form, become a fire insect, and burn it into ashes."

In the ancient Yue language, the demon worm (note 1) was drilled out of the underground demon kingdom and was a demon insect that plagued the world, and these demon insects were not afraid of fire and water, and had the evil power to shatter the souls of ordinary people. The Xuanbing Ancient Butterfly lives in the Xuanbing Ice all the year round, and rarely appears in the world, unless the world is in chaos and evil obstacles are rampant, they will wake up, the whole body is like a transparent crystal, and the wings are even more crystal clear, dancing in the air like a flickering micro-Xiaoice crystal, which can make the people in contact instantly freeze into frost, and then shatter into ice dust. However, once they are allowed to encounter flames, they will turn into Devilflies. They emit blue flames that cannot be extinguished if they touch a little bit, and they will be burned to ashes in an instant.

More than a dozen ghostflies on the ground were already circling and flying, driving a gloomy blue tracer light in the dark space, and then they were about to disperse and pounce forward.

"Sister Qi, what should I do?" I'm out of ideas.

At this suffocating moment, Ji Weiqi made several bold decisions. She took out a handful of peach sawdust from her waist bag and sprinkled it on the ground, those ghostly flies really ate this set, and when they encountered peach sawdust, they were stunned and stayed in place, not daring to cross the thunder pool for half a step.

I saw that I couldn't miss the opportunity, and hurriedly made a gesture to Ji Weiqi, asking her to rush out with Oulan quickly. The space of this ice cave is very large, and no one can say exactly where Ye Heping is hidden in that horn Gada, but it is certain that it is no longer safe to be blind here, this ghost frog is flickering ice and fire, and it is not the fire and ice in common sense, it seems to be the energy brought back by the dead from hell, there is no way to deal with it, and they can only retreat while trying to find a way to find the weakness of the other party.

"Professor Ou, there will be no retreat below, you have to think clearly!" Ji Weiqi said to Oulan.

"I know this, but if I can't find peace, I won't go back!"

"Sister Qi, hurry!"

Ji Weiqi pulled Oulan and rushed out quickly, but the peach sawdust she left behind was not a long-term solution, and the ghostflies were not afraid of the peach sawdust, but they didn't know anything about it, and they were a little overwhelmed for a while, so they stopped attacking, and once they realized that the peach sawdust was not a threat to them, they would start attacking.

I didn't dare to slack off, and immediately climbed to the bottom. In this secret base buried deep underground in the floating corpse courtyard, there is such an ice cave built with thousand-year-old ice, if you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, no one would have thought of it. The further you go inside, the thicker the ice becomes, and the less obvious the traces of artificiality become, giving the illusion that you have come to a snowy place, where everything is covered with ice.

"We'll have to speed up, it's too cold to last long." Ji Weiqi reminded.

"Where the hell is Professor Ye?"

Before he could finish speaking, there was a loud bang overhead, and a large piece of ice and snow fell. I happened to be standing below, and thanks to Ji Weiqi's quick push with her eyes, Rao was still smashed.

I hurriedly ducked backwards, and then looked at what had fallen, a large piece of crystal ice with two holes in it, and when I looked up, I saw that there were two barbs on it, and this ice block should have been hung on it through the barbs. The thousand-year-old ice is very special and difficult to melt, so as long as it is hidden underground, no refrigeration equipment is required, and it can be guaranteed to not melt for thousands of years.

"Sister Qi, look."

I suddenly noticed that there were two or three yellow and blue cables above my head, because there was no need for refrigeration equipment in the ice cave, so there was no need to think about it, this cable must be leading to the place where Ye Heping was imprisoned.

Ou Lan was overjoyed, and along this cable, it was naturally effortless to find Metallurgical Peace. Sure enough, after looking for a long time, I found that this cable was connected into an ice wall, and there must be a hole behind this ice wall. This kind of thing is both me and Ji Weiqi are handy, Ji Weiqi is a little elusive, has seen the attention of the mechanism, casually tinkered, the ice wall into a large area of depression inside, and then it rises, and an entrance appears.

"It's on!"

A few people went in to take a look, only to see a cage appear in the white ice cave, this cage was suspended in the air by iron, and when they looked at the people in the prison, they knew that we were looking for peace.

Oulan was so lovesick that he didn't have time to take a second look before he pounced. At this moment, suddenly there was a sound of wings vibrating from the cage, and I was already frightened by this sound, and I felt that the hairs all over my body seemed to be covered with frost. Immediately follow the prestige, and don't want to hover a Xuanbing Ancient Butterfly above Ye Heping's head.

This ancient butterfly with its dark blue wings is about to fly out with an evil power that can freeze souls. Ou Lan knew that if he approached rashly, it would definitely lead to tragedy, as long as the ancient butterfly touched Ye Heping a little, he would shatter into misty ice dust like his own subordinates.

Ji Weiqi was worried about Oulan's safety, and was just about to step forward to pull her back, but she didn't want to suddenly flash a red light on the ground at this time, which pierced into her eyes, and when she looked down, a group of fiery red ghost flies had surrounded Oulan. And the cold light of the Xuanbing Ancient Butterfly, like a silver whirlwind like ice chips, flew out of the cage and pounced towards Oulan.

But at this moment, the Xuanbing Ancient Butterfly suddenly stopped in the air, and it was not as sharp as it was to kill Oulan's men. I vaguely felt that something was wrong in my heart, but at this moment, the distance between life and death was thinner than a hair, and my brain was completely blinded, and I couldn't figure out what was going on, and there was only one thought in my mind, and that was to save people.

Lin Kun shouted, "Squat!" ”

"Sister Qi, you save Professor Ou, and leave it to me for peace!"

After saying that, the two jumped out together.

The Xuanbing Ancient Butterfly failed to succeed in one blow, and dealt with me with all his might, and at this time, Ji Weiqi was able to relieve the siege of Oulan first. Fortunately, the speed of the demon frog was not fast, and Ji Weiqi quickly dodged after saving Oulan, but it didn't seem to be difficult. On the other side, I have already opened the cage, and the person who kidnapped Ye Heping himself did not expect that someone could take people away from this ice cave, and this cage chain is not locked.

I had Ye Heping sleeping on my back, and I ran away. Although the Xuanbing Ancient Butterfly was in hot pursuit, it still failed to catch up with us in the end. Ji Weiqi gave Ye Heping an injection with a heart booster prepared in advance, which finally made him wake up, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief when he opened his eyes.
