Lin Dongjiu's eyes became blood-red, his chest seemed to explode uncomfortably, and his body trembled constantly.

"Big brother, aren't you really a bad person?"

"I'm catching dew for my big brother to drink, and I've picked some fruit, big brother, taste it, it's sweet!"

"Big brother is an immortal! My big brother is an immortal..."

"Big brother... You'll definitely come back to see me again! ”

The figure of the little girl kept appearing in front of Lin Dongjiu's eyes,

From the first time I saw the little girl cowering in the corner of the cave crying helplessly,

and then the little girl holding the leaves barefoot to catch the dew for him, and her lips were purple from the cold,

And the little girl rode on his neck, flying into the sky and cheering,

In the end, the little girl waved goodbye to him reluctantly at the entrance of the village,

Each scene was like a slide replaying in his mind.

A strong sense of self-blame welled up in his heart, and a feeling of powerlessness that could not be attached filled his body, and he could no longer stand, and he fell backwards violently.

Su Ruxue was behind him, and when she saw him fall, she immediately supported him:

"Xiaolin, what's wrong with you, are you not feeling well?"

"I should have brought the little girl back directly, whether she agreed or not, I should have brought her back... As long as I bring her back, she won't, she won't..."

Lin Dongjiu's voice was hoarse, he grabbed Su Ruxue's arm, and kept repeating in his mouth.

Maybe he didn't want to face the reality, or maybe there was still a glimmer of hope in his heart, and he couldn't say the last word.

Human capacity is extremely strong, but sometimes extremely fragile.

Life and death have probably long been commonplace things for immortal cultivators, as long as it doesn't happen to them, all that is left is indifference.

Maybe for some immortal cultivators, family affection, love, friendship... In their eyes, only by cutting off the fetters, having little affection, destroying human nature, and having no worries, can they temper their Dao heart and achieve the supreme avenue.

It is grandiose and beautiful, and the name is that the way of heaven is ruthless, and the avenue is alone.

But Lin Dongjiu is not such a person!

The things he valued were never those things, and at the end of the day, he was not just a mortal, a mortal who was lucky enough to live another life.

Although he was named a monk, he never held himself to the standard of a monk, and all he pursued was a dull life with family and friends by his side, nothing more.

"Xiaolin, it hurts..."

Su Ruxue's face showed a look of pain, but she didn't break free, but said softly.

"Yes... I'm sorry! ”

Lin Dongjiu hurriedly let go of his hand, he was too emotional just now, and subconsciously grabbed Su Ruxue's arm but didn't control his strength.

"It's okay, it's okay."

Su Ruxue repeated it twice.

"Well, it'll be fine."

Lin Dongjiu showed a hint of a smile.

His gaze fell on the platform again, and his voice calmed down a lot: "This is the so-called blood sacrifice of the Demon Temple?" ”

"That's right, Blood Sacrifice!"

Su Ruxue said with a serious expression:

"This is not the first time this has happened, the Demon Temple does not hesitate to sacrifice mortals to improve their cultivation, Luo'an Village is just one of them, and many other villages have been poisoned by them."

He didn't dare to look at the corpses again, only afraid to see the two familiar faces.

Looking further through the corpses, I saw that ditches had been dug out at the feet of each corpse, and these ditches were connected end to end in a certain shape, all the way to the center of the platform.

The ditch was filled with thick blood, which had not dried up until now, and the stream of blood flowed at each stake, and finally flowed regularly into a pool of blood in the recess of the center of the platform.

The blood in the pool was thick and blackened, and the pool water gurgled and bubbled with blood-colored bubbles as if it were boiling, and every time the bubbles burst, a puff of black smoke would be released.

Half of the stone statue was exposed in the blood pool, the solemn treasure carved on the face of the stone statue, a pair of half-squinted eyes seemed to be able to see through the time and dust, and the graceful and generous smile was full of tolerance and kindness.

The stone statue is carved with a Buddha's face, and if it is enshrined in the temple, a large number of believers will definitely worship and offer to him, but the stone statue soaked in a pool of blood water gives people a very heavy sense of disobedience.

The stone statue is stained with blood and gives people the impression of a rakshasa in a robe, and its kind face is also sinister and cunning, and it may show its fierce fangs and bite the believer's head to pieces in the blink of an eye.

I don't know why, as soon as Lin Dongjiu saw the face of the stone statue, he had an urge to kneel on the ground and worship.

He felt that this pool of blood contained endless energy, as long as he knelt down, he could let the stone statue give him the most powerful power, as long as he knelt down!

Lin Dongjiu shook his head, not knowing where this strange impulse came from, so he had to stop staring at the stone statue.

Night was approaching, darkness fell, and a roar of unknown spirit beasts could be heard from far away from the Burial Dragon Mountain Range, and more than three hundred corpses with hideous faces looked extremely strange in the night.

Several female disciples in the group huddled in a crowd, and they kept looking at the two elders, as if expecting them to give the order to leave this ghost place early.

Lan Qiong and Xu Ming discussed it for a while and decided:

"It's not appropriate to stay here for a long time, let's come and burn these corpses with a few disciples, this mission will end early." Let's go to the village to check again, don't wander around, and when we come back, we will return to the sect overnight. ”

There were a few male disciples in the team who couldn't wait to rush to the platform, obviously they didn't want to stay here for a second longer, and they could show their bravery in front of these female disciples by the way, killing two birds with one stone.

They took down the corpses hanging on the pillars and stacked them together, and the movement was very fast, and in a short time they had finished moving most of them.

Lin Dongjiu couldn't bear that the bodies of the little girl and the old man were just piled up and burned together, he wanted to bury them well, which could be regarded as sending them off for the last time.

He covered his consciousness on the platform, and when he found the old man's body, his heart was still sour, but when he looked for the little girl's body again, he didn't find it.

Lin Dongjiu let go of his divine sense again, searched three times and did not find the body of the little girl, and then his heart jumped violently.

Could it be...

The little girl is still alive!

If the little girl hadn't been harmed by the Demon Temple, then where did she go?

He took a deep breath to calm himself down, no matter where the little girl fled, as long as she is alive, it means that there is still hope, she will definitely be able to find her, she will definitely be able to!

Lin Dongjiu swept away the decline, and his eyes became clear.

In the darkness, the crystal embedded in the corpse's chest emitted a faint green light, and he subconsciously swept his divine sense away, but the crystal was like an ordinary stone, and there was nothing special about it.

Although he didn't find anything, under the gaze of his divine sense, he unexpectedly found that the corpse actually trembled, and he believed that he was not dazzled, because the accuracy of his divine sense was much higher than that of his eyes.

He quickly swept over the other corpses, and found that the other corpses all had some slight tremors, and if he hadn't observed them with his divine sense, he wouldn't have seen this abnormality with the naked eye.

Lin Dongjiu frowned, and hurriedly shouted: "You guys put the corpses down, these corpses have a problem, they will move!" ”

The disciples who moved the corpses looked at each other, and one of the disciples said unceremoniously: "Those of us who moved the corpse didn't find that the corpse could move, which eye did you see the corpse move?" ”

A tall disciple beside him also sneered:

That is, some people are afraid of dirty hands and are unwilling to do these dirty work, and we can understand it, but what does it mean to say such things to scare us? How can any immortal cultivator be afraid of ghosts? ”

These disciples obviously deliberately ridiculed Lin Dongjiu, they were all Duan Han's people, and they all knew the grievances between Lin Dongjiu and Duan Han, and they were worried that they had no chance to please Duan Han, but they didn't expect Lin Dongjiu to hit the muzzle.

Moreover, this tall disciple is very good at using the contradiction between the outer disciples and the inner disciples to provoke trouble, and usually some people who are not used to seeing the inner disciples also stare at Lin Dongjiu with unkind faces, as if he dares to say a word again, he will attack him in the next second.

Seeing the situation, Lu Dajin immediately scoffed:

"Hahaha... You probably don't think it's because you're afraid of being dazzled! With this guts, he is still an inner disciple, and he is not even worthy of being an immortal cultivator, which really makes people laugh out of their big teeth! ”

When the disciple saw Lu Dajin supporting him, he couldn't help but harden, and even spared no effort to ridicule:

"Brother Lu is right, if he had the guts, he would have gone to the Burial Dragon Mountain Range to practice, where would the second team come."

"Hahaha... Truly! ”

Lu Dajin glanced at him appreciatively, the singing and harmony of the two of them also made everyone who watched the joke sneer, what could be more joyful than seeing an inner disciple deflated?

Lin Dongjiu frowned, but he was not in the mood to be angry with them at the moment, but watched them perform coldly.

However, Lin Dongjiu's good temper does not mean that Su Ruxue has a good temper, I saw her like a fried cat, and shouted angrily: "What's wrong with coming to this team?" You're not in this team yourself!

And he just said what he saw, be careful, if something happens, isn't it for your own good? ”

"This..."

The tall disciple was speechless for a while, but he forgot that there was also Su Ruxue's stubble, Lin Dongjiu's little white face was so close to her, she would definitely protect Lin Dongjiu.

He immediately nodded and apologized, and then retreated behind everyone in a gloomy manner, it was okay to offend Lin Dongjiu, but Su Ruxue could never be offended, otherwise even Duan Han would not be able to save him.

Who in the sect doesn't know how much the sect master spoils his daughter, and Su Ruxue's temper is also notoriously hot, if he offends her, even if he hugs Duan Han's thigh, he will want to mix in the sect in the future.

The group of disciples who watched the play also quieted down when they saw Su Ruxue being furious, and then they remembered that Su Ruxue came to this team because of Lin Dongjiu, offending Lin Dongjiu but offending Su Ruxue, and after thinking about the key, they all wilted like frosted eggplants.

"The Guardian Maniac..."

Everyone swallowed and foamed, and silently labeled Su Ruxue such a label in their hearts.

The disciples on the altar all kept their faces calm and continued to carry the corpses, although they didn't dare to ridicule Lin Dongjiu anymore, they could completely take his words as a deaf ear to make a final resistance.

Su Ruxue saw that those people were still carrying the corpses and wanted to stop them, but Lin Dongjiu dragged her and shook her head to signal that she didn't have to stop her.

Su Ruxue was angry and complained: "These people are simply too much, you said that there is a problem with the corpse, let's check it again and it won't take much time." ”

Lin Dongjiu said lightly: "Some people are bent on seeking death, and it is useless to stop them. ”

Su Ruxue didn't know why, but she heard a sudden scream from ahead.

She hurriedly looked over and saw that the tall disciple who was laughing at Lin Dongjiu just now was tightly bitten by the corpse he was carrying, and no matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't break free from the corpse's bloody mouth.
