"What's in there? Demons? Li Xiu was a little puzzled, not knowing what the old knife meant.

If the old knife wants to send the demon spirit to him, then just send the demon spirit ring, how can he put the demon spirit in the furnace and burn it.

If this is a wild demon spirit trapped in the furnace, then the old knife will kill it, and if there is something left for him, there is no need to wait for Li Xiu to come and kill it with his own hands.

"How can I say it, this thing can be said to be a demon spirit, or it can be said that it is not a demon spirit." The old knife pointed to the brass furnace and said: "This furnace is called the Demon Refining Furnace, something that has existed for a long time, the demon spirit in it was thrown into it by an elder who used to guard the Heavenly Gate, and it has been refining in this demon refining furnace for sixty or seventy years, and now it is still a demon spirit, so it is impossible to say." ”

"What do you mean? Can this stove still burn demons into humans? The more Li Xiu listened, the more fresh he felt.

"Your idea is a bit wild, of course it is impossible to burn it into a human, this furnace is called the Demon Refining Furnace, which is naturally used for demon refining, and the demon spirit has been refined to remove the demon, so what remains is the spirit." The old knife tapped his finger on the stove, and there was a banging sound in the stove.

The thing inside seemed to sense the provocation of the old knife, and was desperately hitting the furnace wall with its body, making a loud noise.

Old Dao continued: "The Great Elder who guarded this place before me has been guarding here for decades after taking over, and he didn't guard this thing until his body was completely refined, and as a result, he died. Before I came, I estimated that the demon spirit inside had almost been refined to a pure spirit state, and as expected, now the body of this demon spirit has been completely refined, and only the pure spirit remains. ”

"What's the use of pure spirits?" Jiu Xiaoyun was also curious, he had never heard of such a thing.

"There are many uses, the most common way is to integrate the spirit directly into the contract, we use the contract, the quality of the original embryo determines the strength of the ontology of the contract, the higher the quality of the original embryo, the stronger the ontology of the deed. But what determines the quality and grade of the deed is the purity, quality and quantity of the energy within the deed. Some low-quality deeds, the quality of the embryo is higher than that of high-quality deeds, which means that the body of the contract is strong enough, but the purity and quality of the energy in it are not enough, if the spirit of pure energy is integrated into the contract, and the purity and quality of the energy are improved, the quality and grade of the contract can be improved......"

After a pause, the old knife continued: "But if you want to refine the body of the demon spirit, only pure energy is left, and you have to maintain its spiritual existence, that is a technical work, except for the demon refining furnace, there are few things that can complete this step, and demon refining also takes a long time to refine the demon spirit, and ordinary people don't have this life to wait." The stronger the demon spirit in the demon refining furnace, the longer it will take, like the demon spirit here, it is an S-level glorious demon spirit, and it took decades to completely refine the demon spirit body, and only the pure spirit remains, and the two old guys in front of them are not blessed to enjoy the results, and it is useless to me, so it is cheap for you kid. ”

"Old Dao, are you saying that the spirit here can improve the quality and level of the contract, if it is a glorious contract, can it go further?" Li Xiu was surprised.

"Don't think about good things all day long, if you can take the glorious deed one step further, then it will be your turn? I used it myself, old man. The old knife explained: "This kind of spirit, at most, is to raise the quality of the contract to the same quality and level as the demon spirit, and can only be used on the low-quality contract, what do you want to improve the low-quality and low-level contract, take it out and I will help you inject the spirit into it, it is estimated that it can be upgraded to the glorious quality S level, which should be regarded as some help to you." ”

"Is that all?" Li Xiu was a little disappointed.

The old knife suddenly said angrily: "You are not satisfied with getting you a glorious quality S-class deed, are you going to heaven?" You don't want me to give it to others, I don't know how many people can't ask for it. ”

"The elders can't give it, how could I not want it." Li Xiu summoned his forbidden spear: "This is my symbiosis contract, old knife, you will work hard, help me promote it to the S rank." ”

"The symbiotic contract cannot be used, it can only be a parasitic contract." The old knife said.

"Why?" Li Xiu was suddenly depressed again.

"The symbiosis contract is one with your body, if the level of the symbiosis contract is raised in this way, then its energy far exceeds the energy that your body can bear, after you take it back, its energy will be shared with your body, and your body will probably be directly exploded. Unless you are thrown in with the Symbiosis Deed to refine it, you don't think about that good thing. The old knife said with a smile.

"If you have a parasitic contract, I have a few on me, let me think about which one to use." Li Xiu looked at a few of his parasitic deeds.

The gentleman's hat itself is a glorious quality, and if it is used to improve it, it can only be improved by some levels, and the quality cannot be improved, which seems to be a bit of a waste.

The Dark Mirror is a relatively strong night vision, and it doesn't seem to be of much use to improve it.

After thinking about it, Li Xiu pulled out the Fire Lotus Sword and handed it to the old knife: "Just raise it." ”

"The parasitic contract of the fire attribute, this is more suitable, I'm really afraid that you will make a kettle or something and let me throw it in." The old knife said, lifted the lid of the demon refining furnace, and saw that there seemed to be a golden light inside that wanted to rush out, but it was slapped down by the old knife with a palm, and then the fire lotus sword was also thrown in.

There was a sudden crackling sound in the demon refining furnace, and the old knife reached out and pressed it a few times on the demon refining furnace, and the place where he pressed was the beast heads protruding from the four directions of the furnace.

Every time the old knife pressed, the golden flame in the furnace became three points stronger, and after four strokes, the golden flame in the furnace was already as blazing as the sun, making it impossible to look at it directly.

The crackling sound inside gradually subsided, and after a while, it was completely silent.

"Wait, it will take some time to inject the spirit, it is estimated that it will take at least two or three days." The old knife pointed to the city and said: "There is no place to hide people in this urn city, I will take you into the city to find a place to hide later, and you will come out when the people of the Li family are gone." ”

"It's fine." Li Xiu nodded, he didn't want Lao Dao to be involved because of his affairs.

"By the way, Lao Dao, on the way here, I encountered some strange things, can you help me sort it out." Li Xiu told the strange things he encountered when he came.

Jiu Xiaoyun, Jing Li, and Sha Chu also knew that something must have happened to Li Xiu when he came, but Li Xiu didn't say that they were not easy to ask, and after listening to it at this time, they probably understood why Li Xiu didn't say it at that time.

If Li Xiu said it at the time, I am afraid that they will also be suspicious, and something may happen.

"When you swim through the smoke pool, he is the only one who feels the water is hot, don't you feel it?" After the old knife pondered for a moment, he looked at Jiu Xiaoyun with a solemn expression and asked.

"No, the water is cool, it doesn't feel hot." Jiu Xiaoyun said.

Sha Chu and Jing Li also shook their heads, indicating that they had found no abnormalities.

The old knife looked at Li Xiu again and asked, "After slashing that black lotus, that feeling of heat still hasn't disappeared, right?" ”

"Yes, I feel like the water is still hot." Li Xiu saw that Lao Dao's face was wrong, and then asked, "Is there any problem?" ”

"It's a big problem, you might really be in big trouble." The old knife looked at Li Xiu with a solemn expression.

"How much trouble?" Li Xiu didn't ask what trouble he was in, he just wanted to know if this trouble could be solved.

"Compared with this trouble, the Li family's affairs are not a problem at all." The old knife smiled and said, "Do you know what the smoke pool is?" ”

"Is it the place where Concubine Lian sleeps?" Since Li Xiu saw the bones at the bottom of the pool, he felt that the story told by Jiu Xiaoyun was still more reliable.

"Bullshit Concubine Lotus, that's a story made up by the people of the Demon Kingdom, and there is no Lotus Concubine around the Emperor of Heaven at all." After a pause, Lao Dao continued: "But that story is not made up out of thin air, although there is no Lotus Concubine, and the Emperor of Heaven is not a tyrant who is extravagant, but many people did die in that smoke pool. ”

"Elder Dao, don't sell it." Jiu Xiaoyun was very curious and wanted to know what was going on.

"I've also heard some things from the Great Elder before, he knows the magic script, and he once read some records in a temple." The old knife told the story again.

The stories told by Jiuxiaoyun and Jing Li are a little different, and they all seem to be a little touchy.

When the Demon Kingdom was strong, it once fought in all directions, conquered countless demon spirit races, and even captured some royal families of the demon spirit race as hostages and held them in the Heavenly City.

At that time, among the demon race that fought against the demon kingdom, among the most threatening races, there was a race called "evil ghosts".

In the heyday of the demon kingdom, it was not able to completely subdue the evil ghost clan, and then it was used to capture the king of the evil ghost clan in Tiancheng and suppress it in the Yanbo Lake.

Using the suppressed king of evil ghosts, the demon people lured the evil ghost clan to rush into the gate of heaven recklessly, using the net that had already been laid to kill the unknown number of evil ghosts and demons, even so, there were still some evil ghosts who were not killed, but used special natural skills to parasitize on the bodies of some demon people.

Many of the demons who were parasitized by evil spirits were relatives of powerful people at the time, and if they wanted to kill the evil ghosts parasitic on them, they could only kill their relatives.

Even the Emperor of Heaven couldn't do anything about this kind of thing, so he could only imprison those demon people who were parasitized by evil spirits.

"If I'm not mistaken, the place where the seal suppressed the king of evil spirits is where the black lotus is, and if you kill the black lotus, it is estimated that nine times out of ten the king of evil ghosts escaped. You kid feels something on your back on the bridge, and the king of demons is using you to cross the bridge. ”

"The name of the single-plank bridge is actually called the Crossing Immortal Bridge, only the demon people themselves can walk over, the demon spirit can't walk over, we earthlings can also be regarded as stained with the light of the demon people, and we can also walk through the Transition Immortal Bridge, the king of evil ghosts can't walk over by himself, I can only use you to cross the bridge with it, it is estimated that it has now gone to rescue the evil ghost who was possessed by the demon country before."

"In that case, we're in trouble." Sha Chu said with an ugly face.

"It's not a big disaster, the Heavenly City has long been destroyed, there have been many demon people who have been possessed by evil spirits in the past, and it is only a matter of time before other evil ghosts get out of trouble. As for the demon king, it is estimated that it is almost time to get out of trouble, otherwise this kid will not be able to have problems with his body. The old knife smiled and said, "You don't have to be afraid, with me, those evil ghosts can't get out of the door of trial." ”

"That Demon King is so powerful, even the Heavenly Emperor can only suppress it, but he can't kill it, is it really okay for it to get out of trouble?" Li Xiu frowned.

"The more powerful it is, the more it can't rush out, at most it will leave Tianmen City and return to its homeland, you don't have to worry when you arrive." The old knife was very open: "Take a step back, anyway, the world has been chaotic like this, and there is no shortage of a demon king." ”

Seeing that the old knife seemed to be very sure, Li Xiu and the others were a lot more relieved.

"But if those evil ghosts get out of trouble, the safe place in the Heavenly City before will not be easy to say now, you better stay here for the time being, don't go in and walk around." The old knife groaned.

"What should I do if the people from the Li family come?" Li Xiu looked at the old knife and asked.

"The evil ghost is out of trouble, it's hard to say whether the people of the Li family can still come here, let's see the situation first." The old knife also doesn't have a very good way.

Now there is no other way, a few people have to hide in the city gate tower first, if the Li family really comes over, then find a way.

For two or three days in a row, no evil ghosts appeared, and the golden flames in the demon refining furnace were still burning.

"You are guarding the demon refining furnace here, and after the flame in the furnace is extinguished, it means that the soul melting is successful, and you can open the furnace lid and take out the deed." After the old knife said two words, he jumped down from the city wall: "I will go into the city and take a look to see if those evil ghosts are gone, it is estimated that those evil ghosts should have left the gate of heaven by this time." ”

After the old knife left, Li Xiu and the four of them were guarding the demon refining furnace in the city gate tower and chatting.

"It's been two or three days, and it is estimated that the people of the Li family should not come, they will come early." Jiu Xiaoyun lay on the ground and said with Erlang's legs crossed.

Sha Chu was about to say something, but Jing Li suddenly stood up, walked out of the city gate tower to the edge of the city wall, and looked at the gate of the Heavenly City in the urn city.

Li Xiu and the three of them also hurriedly walked out, and followed Jing Li's gaze, only to see a figure walking in through the crack in the jade gate.

The clouds and mist in the urn city were much lighter, and it was clear that the person who walked in through the crack in the jade gate was not an old knife.

"It can't be such a coincidence, right? As soon as the old knife left, the people from the Li family came? Could it be that the old knife betrayed us? Jiu Xiaoyun said as he stared at the figure.

"That's not the Li family, or that's not the people." Jing Li said coldly.

Li Xiu could see through the thin cloud and mist that the figure did not look like a person.

Although it looks like a human, how can there be two sharp horns on the top of a person's head?

As the figure gradually approached, Li Xiu and the others saw his appearance clearly.

His face was like green iron, his first birth was a pair of cyan sharp horns, his eyes were also glowing with blue, and the clothes on his body were tattered like beggars.

"Could this be a demon possessed by an evil spirit, right?" Jiu Xiaoyun looked at the strange man with interest and said.

"It should be." Li Xiu stared at that thing and said.

"You wait, I'll take a look." Jing Li jumped down as he spoke, and when he was in the air, the Tang knife in his hand was pulled out, and the knife in both hands slashed at the strange man with a bright light.

The strange man looked a little stunned, but his reaction was not slow at all, seeing Jing Li slashing in the air, he suddenly raised his head, and his blue eyes looked directly at Jing Li, revealing the vampire-like fangs in his mouth.

In the face of Jing Li's frenzied Tang knife, the strange man didn't dodge or dodge, and directly reached out and grabbed the Tang knife that was chopping.

His palm, like green iron, collided with the Tang knife, making a sound of gold and iron.

Jing Li's knife didn't even cut off his palm, but he grabbed Tang Dao.

Li Xiu and the three of them were all a little surprised, although Jing Li did not enter the super-spiritual state and did not use the light vein, but the power of the S-level blow was caught empty-handed, and the ability of that strange man should not be underestimated.

Seeing that his knife was caught, a cold light flashed in Jing Li's eyes, and his body and knife bloomed with purple and black light at the same time, and he entered a super-spiritual state.

Jing Li pulled his hands, and the Tang knife was pulled out by him, and the strange man's palm was also cut off at the same time, and half of the palm fell to the ground with four fingers.

The strange man seemed to be completely unaware of the pain, and the blue light on his body was like smoke and mist, and it was like a green gauze ribbon entangled, and he flew directly towards Jing Li, the speed was incredible, like a ghost fluttering in the air.

The Tang knife in Jing Li's hand slashed repeatedly, and the ghostly and fluttering strange man dodged two knives in a row, and was cut off by the third knife.

"Well, the demons are nothing more than that." Jiu Xiaoyun pouted and said, Jing Li didn't use the power of the light vein at all, and he was able to do it to this extent.

But in the next second, Jiu Xiaoyun closed his mouth.

After the strange man's body fell to the ground, the blue light in his body seemed to come to life, floating out of his body, condensing in the air, forming a transparent human silhouette, and the blue light of the whole body was like smoke and mist, like a ghost floating in the air.

The evil ghost with blue light like smoke rushed towards Jing Li, and the Tang knife in Jing Li's hand slashed wildly, and one after another the sword light slashed at the evil ghost's body, cutting the evil ghost's body into several pieces.

But as soon as the knife passed, the demon's smoky body condensed again, and continued to pounce on Jing Li, and Jiu Xiaoyun was shocked: "I'll go, is that thing immortal?" No wonder the Demon Emperor failed to kill them completely. ”

Jing Li slashed as he retreated, the Tang knife in his hand had turned into a ghost head knife, and the power of the light vein was also mobilized, and the earth-shattering sword light slashed towards the evil ghost, directly cutting the evil ghost in half, but as soon as the sword light passed, its body was reunited again, and there was no damage at all.

Jing Li's eyes froze, and the ghost head knife flashed continuously, and the sword light crisscrossed and staggered, splitting the evil ghost that rushed towards him into countless pieces.

"It's time to die now, right?" Jiu Xiaoyun looked at the evil ghost who had been chopped to pieces and breathed a sigh of relief.

But in the next second, those fragments actually flew to one place again, condensed together again, and turned into a green ghost like smoke and mist, and pounced on Jing Li.

Li Xiu's expressions were a little solemn, with Jing Li's powerful light energy, they couldn't kill the evil ghosts, it was useless for them to go up, that was a monster that couldn't be killed.

When the three of them were worried themselves, they saw that in the cracks of the gate of the Heavenly City, one after another demonic people possessed by evil spirits walked in, and the number of them increased.

Jiu Xiaoyun was suddenly shocked, they hadn't even solved a single evil ghost, and now there were dozens more, and they were still rushing in, this was really going to kill them.
