Banmei Valley is located in the south of Jiugu Mountain, about half a month away by boat. Autumn chrysanthemums outside the valley are all over the mountains, and the valley is undefeated for ten miles.

It is such a valley separated by two seasons, where flowers and branches often give birth to wisdom, as do the birds and beasts that live here.

If someone strays into it to enjoy the flowers, you may hear the mountain birds singing a song "The Ballad of Qingshan":

The spring breeze blows the warm peach blossoms and smiles, the mountain grass also smiles and the flowers bloom early, the grass color is far away, and the green mountains are waiting for the birds. Sister under the mountain, it's still early for the shepherd to return, and the broken branches ask the flowers are delicate? When the wind howls in front of my house, the incense is planted with green hills, and the peach blossoms of the green mountains are withered.

And the plum blossoms that fill the valley will leave the branches and fly to the mountain birds that babble incessantly, vowing to drive out the mountain birds that can't even tell the peach blossoms and plum blossoms out of the valley.

The birds and flowers in the sky, and the melodious tunes in the valley, often attracted the monks to stop and linger.

There are even people who stopped in the valley overnight and entered Jindan overnight.

Later, all the monks who entered the valley would take out the century-old wine, take out the flute, reach out and stroke the harp, and dance with the wind with their sleeves, but they would not draw their swords.

Even the mountain birds that hover over their heads and hum tunes, the flowers that linger on the tips of their noses, and the occasional beasts passing by begging for food, are all demon beasts that will be demonized and lose their minds at any time to fight back against them.

They regard Banmei Valley as a pure land, a pure land that has never been contaminated with demonic energy, and what does the endless fighting in the forest have to do with this?

In those years, even Su Shang Ying, who had always advocated the elimination of evil, would not draw his sword in the valley.

Everyone thinks that maybe it will be like this everywhere in this world in the near future, between humans and demons, there is no killing, no entanglement.

"At the time of the incident, it was 300 years ago. Suddenly, one day, the demon beasts in the Half Plum Valley began to attack everyone indiscriminately, which seemed to be the precursor to the withering of everything. ”

"Immediately after, the demonic qi suddenly spread, and the black mist shrouded the entire Banmei Valley, and all the demon beasts in the valley were demonized, and they were slashed by the swords of those monks who had the honor to watch the flowers blooming in the valley one by one, and none of them were spared."

Ying Changming was quite sorry in his words, I don't know if he was yearning for the blooming flowers, or regretting those demon beasts.

However, Su Shang Ying has always advocated the elimination of evil, and he has killed more demons than he has eaten, so he will not regret it.

Hua Ruxue grew up in Qingyang Mountain since she was a child, and she knew little about the outside world, and she had never heard of Banmei Valley. What's more, Banmei Valley was suddenly shrouded in black mist, which was roughly the same as the current situation in Jiugu Mountain.

She asked, "Banmei Valley is so far away from the Forest of No Return, why did the demonic qi suddenly appear?" ”

Ying Changming lowered his head and sighed lightly, and then slowly spoke: "Banmei Valley is the only place where the First Demon has not been invaded by demonic qi when it fell. Soon after the incident, everyone discovered that the source of Banmei Valley's demonic qi was a wooden box, and the material of the wooden box was the vines of the top dryad in the Forest of No Return, supplemented by runes, which could be used to seal the demonic qi. ”

Top Dryad? Is it the one in Su Zhi's mouth that was suddenly cut off ten years ago? No wonder when the dryad was there, few demonic beasts came to Sanssouci Town, and it turned out that her vines could seal the demonic energy.

Why was such a good dryad cut off? The people of the Qingyang Su clan still don't know, and Ying Changming shouldn't know either.

"The wooden box was brought by someone from the Chang Yingyun clan?" Hua Ruxue continued to ask.

According to Ying Changming, this box has nothing to do with Chang Yingyun's family.

"Well, Chang Yingyun's rune attainments are quite high, and they made this wooden box early in the morning in order to demonize those low-level demon beasts and kill them in order to gain more merit."

Even if a demon beast below the second level is killed, it has no merit, but if it turns into a demonic beast, it will have at least fifty merits.

As soon as these words came out, a trace of anger appeared in Ying Changming's eyes, and so did Senior Sister Ying, she said:

"Chang Yingyun's family is extremely shameless, and he looks compassionate, but in private, he can do anything to gain more merit! They have been eyeing Banmei Valley for a long time, and it is not the first time that they beat a low-level demon beast to death in Banmei Valley and then demonize and kill it, but that time there was an accident, the wooden box was broken, and the demonic energy leaked. ”

Half dead, and then demonized and killed, just a swing of the sword, the merit is in hand. Instead, it echoed Chang Yingyun's "make the best use of demons" in his mouth.

The Qingyang Su clan has always been unaccustomed to outsiders killing demons regardless of whether they see them, and of course they will hate Chang Yingyun's clan.

But what Hua Ruxue didn't expect was that these two people who advocated eliminating evil and killing countless demons in the Ying clan would also be angry because of Chang Yingyun's approach.

As if sensing the inquiry in her eyes, Ying Changming laughed awkwardly and said, "Although our Su Shang Ying clan has always been to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, we really can't do such a thing that violates morality. The monk slays the demon to protect the safety of the party, and not to know those merits. ”

"Senior Brother Chang Ming is right, a monk like Chang Yingyun who puts merit in the first place and can use any means will cause a catastrophe sooner or later! If you hadn't discovered the matter of Banmei Valley in time, once the demonic qi spread, it would definitely reappear the tragic situation tens of thousands of years ago. ”

"Well, what about then?" The wooden box was discovered, and it almost caused a catastrophe, what kind of punishment did Chang Yingyun receive?

At first, Hua Ruxue was still wondering why the demonic energy was emitted from the two demonic beasts, presumably they ate the wooden box that sealed the demonic qi.

Ying Changming looked up at the black mist around him, as if he was recalling something, and then said: "Later, everyone agreed to make the wooden box a forbidden object, and all the losses in the Banmei Valley were all taken care of by the Chang Yingyun clan. ”

"In order to prevent those flowers, trees, and beasts contaminated by demonic energy from regenerating their spiritual wisdom and being demonized, a fire was ignited in the valley, and the fire burned for half a month."

"In the following hundreds of years, there was no flower or tree in the Banmei Valley, and there were no mountain birds and beasts, and it became a real pure land, clean and clean."

After listening to Ying Changming's statement, Hua Ruxue was even more puzzled, "Since the wooden box has been listed as a forbidden object, why does it still appear?" ”

In her heart, even if it is a forbidden object, no one should use it, but the scene in Jiugu Mountain is clearly the Banmei Valley of the year, the only difference is that the Jiugu Mountain in front of her is an illusion, every flower and grass are illusory, and there is no need to burn the mountain.

"Girl, ......" responded to her with Ying Changming's look of surprise and guilt, he didn't seem to expect that someone would ask, why would someone use it even if it was a forbidden thing?

Senior Sister Ying explained to her: "Girl, you are not deeply involved in the world, you don't understand the complexity of this world, some people, the more you tell him not to go, the more he wants to go." The more forbidden the box is, the more people steal it. ”

"Especially since the dryad was cut off ten years ago, they used to have to be careful when they got the vines to avoid being discovered by the dryad. Now the remaining stump has long been cut down, and there is not even a piece of skin left. ”

Flowers like snow seem to understand whether they know how to nod their heads, this is called the tree falling down, no, no, this is called falling into the lower stone, and make the best use of things.

Although the Qingyang Su clan and the Su Shang Ying clan disdained the use of demonic energy, most of the other monks would steal demonic qi to demonize low-level demon beasts in order to gain more merit.

"Then why do you still guess that today's incident was done by the Chang Yingyun clan?" It is not only Chang Yingyun who goes to get the stump to make a wooden box.

Senior Sister Ying said again: "To seal the demonic qi, it is not enough to have a wooden box, but also need runes, Chang Yingyun did not say the method of making runes back then, except for them, no one knows." ”

It's a good thing that he didn't say it, otherwise, everyone knows that wouldn't the demon beasts in the world have no way to live?

No wonder even if the Qingyang Su clan has a magic weapon that can improve the talent of demon beasts, they never have to say it. If people know, the demon beast has only one way to die.

Sure enough, they are still the best in the Qingyang Su Clan, and they will protect the demon beasts, so they must prevent Su Yue from discovering that Su He has a Danfang in his hands that can improve the talent of the demon beasts!

The two of them walked forward for another three miles, only to hear the sound of swords colliding in front of them, Hua Ruxue sniffed the faint fragrance of medicine in the air, and subconsciously stopped.

The person who was fighting with the demonic beast in front of him was none other than Su He, and suddenly a strange thought popped up in his mind, as long as Su He died, then no one would know the Dan Fang in his hand.

But if Su He died, the cat demon would also die.

While thinking about it, Ying Changming had already lit the mayfly lamp, drew his sword and headed towards the demonic beast, and Senior Sister Ying followed closely behind.

"Little Stone, why did they save Su He?"

Hua Ruxue couldn't figure it out, the Su Shang Ying clan and the Qingyang Su clan were mortal enemies for ten thousand years, and before coming, the elders also told them to stay away from the Su Shang Ying clan.

As long as they stand here and do nothing, they can make the thorn in their side disappear, and they will not break the demon oath of "never fighting".

A phrase popped out of the cracks in the rocks: "Because they are people."

"People?"

If it was Su Li who was standing there, she wouldn't even hesitate, she would just act as if she hadn't seen it, and turn around and continue to look for the two second-level demonic beasts.

As long as you kill those two second-level demonic beasts, you can stop the demonic qi from continuing to spread, so as to prevent more demonic beasts from demonizing.

What should be thought of by the general is to prevent people from getting hurt. Therefore, on the one hand, he hates the Qingyang Su clan, and on the other hand, he will save Su He.

People are not the same as their honest demons.

Hua Ruxue slowly approached them, carefully standing outside the range of the mayfly lamp, the first-level demonic beast had been cut throat by Ying Changming, and Su He, who had always focused on alchemy, was lying on the ground and breathing heavily.

He said: "Don't thank you for your great kindness, in Xia Qingyang Su Clan, if you need help, just ask!" ”

The expression on Ying Changming's face instantly froze, he made a cold face, and said, "Ying Changming, the next Su Shang Ying Changming, you protect yourself is the biggest help." ”

The words were full of disgust, and Senior Sister Ying said angrily: "It's also a golden pill period, and I can't even beat a first-level demonic beast!" ”

"Senior sister doesn't know, Qingyang Su is good at resisting beasts, and his contract beast is not by his side."

"Also, with such a strong demonic aura, as soon as the contract beast comes out, I'm afraid that it will immediately demonize the devouring master, so be careful."

The two of them sang and harmonized, but Su He almost didn't catch his breath.

Hua Ruxue secretly wrapped her cloak tightly, covered the blue bracelet on her wrist, hid the mark in the palm of her left hand, and secretly prayed that Su He would be blind and not be able to see her.

These two people change their faces faster than turning a book, sneering, and showing no mercy, if her identity as a demon beast is discovered, I'm afraid it's really going to be over, or sneak away now?

As soon as she thought this, a familiar call was heard not far away.

Su He shouted excitedly, "Little wolf cub! ”
