"Sang Ling!"

Su Luo was suddenly shocked and reached out to help.

Sang Ling was woken up by this shout, and in her hazy vision, a pair of boots embroidered with silver flowers were slightly raised, wanting to get closer, but in the end they fell back to the same place.

In a trance, her arm tightened, and her right hand was grabbed and supported, and the cuffs naturally slipped off because of the posture of the arm raised, revealing the bandaged wound.

In the next second, Su Luo had already hugged the person horizontally with a force, and the wrist wrapped in the fine bandage was already hidden under the sleeve, difficult to see.

Xie Hanzhou's gaze fell there, and he wanted to open his mouth to ask, but Lu Chaoyan took a step across and walked in front of him.

"Hanzhou, the Yellow Gardenia Demon is dead, how can we find that big demon again?"

In the line of sight, Sang Ling was weakly leaning on the young man's arms, looking dependent, and gradually drifting away.

Before Lu Chaoyan could follow Xie Hanzhou's line of sight, he heard the person in front of him reply:

"Master, is there any news?"

Lu Chaoyan shook his head, swept away the condensation just now, and replied gently:

"Not for the time being, except for the previous sale of a jar in Zezhou Village, the big demon forgot his hometown, and after accidentally revealing the horse's feet, there is no trace."

At this time, Lu Chaoyan, who was standing in front of Xie Hanzhou, was full of distress, and stood hesitantly in place, but when he raised his eyes, he had already collected the coldness and anger just now, and became gentle and gentle.

It's just that the gaze of the person on the other side fell silently to the far side of the deep forest, and there was a little shallow tide fluctuation under his eyes.

……

"Doctor Liu is back?"

Several villagers gathered at the entrance of the village and whispered without knowing what they were saying, and suddenly saw Liu Jinqing stumbling back from the mountains and forests, and immediately fell silent. One or two cautiously glanced at his face, and repeated the same greetings as before, but this time they didn't get any answer from Liu Jinqing.

He continued to walk towards the location of his home, the village road was still the same, the fragrance of flowers was rich, and he felt that there was no difference from yesterday in a trance.

Footsteps stopped outside the courtyard gate, hesitated for a moment, and finally mustered up the courage to reach out and push the door, with a little smile on his face:

"Lady, I'll come back......"

In the field of vision in front of me, a big hole appeared out of thin air in the corner of the flat courtyard, and the yellow gardenia that was originally placed here actually disappeared out of thin air!

Liu Jinqing rushed to that place like crazy, stretched out his hand to dig, and all he dug out was three or two broken and broken yellow leaves.

"What about the trees? What about the tree! ”

At this moment, there was a sudden smell of burning in the air, and as the wind turned, a bit of scorching heat came to the face.

"Someone, burning trees?"

Tilt your head and keep your eyes fixed on it.

……

Dozens of villagers swept up the last bit of fallen branches and leaves on the ground and threw them into the huge fire in front of them, all with relaxed smiles on their faces.

"Finally burned this nasty thing!"

Another villager stretched out his hand to beat his waist, also panting and tired.

"This yellow gardenia has been around for hundreds of years, not to mention that it is difficult to dig, and even this fire is hard to ignite. Fortunately, there is the fire oil given by the village chief, pour a little bit, no matter whether you are a demon or a fairy, all of them will be burned for you! ”

"yes. It just so happens that when the burn is finished, I will pick up some charcoal and go back and keep it for the future to make a fire, which is not a waste. ”

As soon as these words came out, several surrounding villagers immediately nodded in agreement, obviously with the same idea.

A few meters away.

The village chief stood in front of the fire, and when he saw that the fire was raging, he had not moved, and it was obvious that this demon had been burned to death by them, and his heart was suddenly relieved.

"Now that the matter is settled, all that's left is ,...."

Before a person's name was pronounced, he heard a villager shouting bitterly, and he was extremely frightened:

"Stop him, he's going to jump into the fire and die!"

The village chief was so frightened that he hadn't thrown away his crutches. I saw a black figure in the distance rushing towards this side, and the face under the cloak was the Liu Jinqing he was reading just now.

The rest of the young villagers reacted in time, and when they saw Liu Jinqing rushing desperately, they immediately formed a human wall and stopped in front of the fire.

Liu Jinqing was already thin and weak, and today's events happened too much, too fast, and too heavy, which had already suppressed most of his strength, and he couldn't break through this human wall at all.

The villagers saw that he couldn't break through, and he was still desperately squeezing inside, and his head and face, which were still quite neat, had a lot of bruises and swells, and they were so anxious that they called out:

"Stop him, hold him, hold him! Dr. Liu is crazy, Dr. Liu is crazy! ”

The surrounding sounds were noisy, but Liu Jinqing's eyes at this time only had the sky-high fire in front of him:

"It's gone, it's gone, it's nothing."

Even the last tree, they didn't leave him behind.

A mouthful of blood finally spurted out of his chest, but there was no more pain in his heart.

Three days later.

This fire, which burned in a secluded place in the west of the village, burned for three days and three nights before it was burned out. The villagers smiled happily and picked up a lot of black charcoal and went back, all they said was that they could have a good winter this year.

On the other side of the village road.

A kingfisher flew delicately over the dark fire to a secluded little yard where the roots of a tree had been dug out, and the kingfisher spread its wings and crossed it and landed gently in front of a window.

The window was ajar, the room was dimly lit, and in the heavy twilight shadow, one person's eyes moved slightly, looking at the blue bird outside the window.

The kingfisher tilted his head to look at him, with a little cute doubt, and suddenly the footsteps outside the door came, and the bird was startled and quickly flew away.

The vendor who pushed the door in, as soon as he entered the room, saw Liu Jinqing staring blankly at the window, and the countertop there was empty, there was nothing, and he didn't know what he was looking at.

He sighed silently, put the food box in his hand on the low table next to the bed, and persuaded:

"Doctor Liu, you haven't eaten or drunk since you woke up, where can this body still eat. People are iron and steel, and they should still be eaten. Otherwise, how can you take care of this heartache? ”

Since Liu Jinqing spewed out a mouthful of blood in front of the fire, he has been unconscious, and the village chief used a lot of silver taels to invite another famous doctor from the city hundreds of miles away.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the doctor took the pulse, he got up and left. The villagers begged left and right, and he dropped one more sentence, turned around and left.

"The old man is not talented, and he is not a doctor who knows spiritual power. His heart is dead, and how can I bring the dead back to life! ”

The seller was as angry as the other villagers at the beginning, and Liu Jinqing was obviously still panting, how could he say that he was dead!

Now, look at it again, and it's really understood.

In front of him, this person who can pant and breathe, where is it still Dr. Liu Jinqing? It's just a shell, and the rest of the soul has long been burned by the fire along with the yellow gardenia.

As expected, after he said a few words, the person in front of him didn't even move his eyes.

The seller wanted to sigh again, why is it so difficult for this Dr. Liu to marry a daughter-in-law. If you want him to say, like is like, even if it's really a demon, it's none of other people's business. But when his words came out, it would only make the old lady scold him for being stupid.

The seller scratched his head, even more distressed.

Suddenly, he thought of something, and rushed out, moving extremely fast. After a while, he sneaked back and covered the door of the house, and now the house was even darker.

Liu Jinqing didn't care at all, her eyes were dull, and she didn't move.

The seller carefully lifted the man to his feet, shoved a branch into his hand, and said:

"I secretly intercepted it that day, Doctor Liu, you planted it carefully, and others couldn't find it."

The palm of the hand is rough to the touch, but it is cold but with a bit of aromatic sweetness.

This touch finally caused Liu Jinqing's eyes to roll for half a minute and move her gaze.

When the seller saw that he had finally gained some vitality, he was overjoyed, and immediately said:

"It's the branch of the yellow gardenia, they were digging the tree that day, and I secretly broke one off for you as a souvenir. Hide it quickly, and then plant it secretly, as long as there is water and soil, it will take root and bloom next year! ”

"On the yellow gardenia, folded off?"

The voice was hoarse, the corners of the lips squirmed, countless dried skins were torn apart and oozing blood beads, and the red plums were all dripping onto the bedclothes like snow. But there was a clear light in his eyes.

The vendor looked at the little snowdrops and felt his mouth hurt. Hearing this, my heart was pounding, and I was so panicked that I couldn't do it. But his face was hard to bring out three points of caution, seven points of joy, spelled all his acting skills, and said a nonsense:

"Yes, I secretly folded it three days ago, you have to believe me."

After a word, it was visible to the naked eye that the face in front of him that looked like a dead man was bloodshot again, and Liu Jinqing was really alive.

Seeing that his eyes were ruddy, he held the new branch that was still dewy, and rubbed it on his cheeks, his face was vivid and smiling, and he was already three points better.

The seller took out the porridge in the food box while the iron was hot, dug a spoonful with a soup spoon and handed it directly to his mouth, and persuaded:

"Drink more, don't drink porridge, how can you have the strength to grow flowers?"

"Okay, I'll drink."

Liu Jinqing smiled and opened her mouth to come in, but she heard a cracked cough, and the porridge in the bowl suddenly turned scarlet. The seller was so frightened that his face was pale, he threw away the bowl, and he was anxious to catch his person, but when he heard the sound of "boom", Liu Jinqing had already flipped down from the side of the bed, and there was no movement, but the thin branch in his hand was still clenched tightly.

"Doctor Liu!"

"Someone! Help me! ”

The frightened voice echoed endlessly in Huang Yu Village, but it could no longer wake up a person who was pinching a flower branch and only wanted to indulge in a sweet dream.

......

Deep in the forest, somewhere in a cave.

Countless genius treasures and precious elixirs were thrown into the furnace in front of them without hesitation by the palms carved from ice jade, the spiritual fire was churning endlessly, and the firelight was faintly white because of the rise in the limit of temperature.

In the end, only to hear the sound of "boom", the furnace spit out a lamp, covered in black paint, the tentacles are cold, as if the netherworld is reborn, and the breath is dangerous.

Regardless of the heat, the hand couldn't wait to reach out, grasp the lamp, bite the tip of the tongue, spit out a mouthful of blood, inject it into the lamp, and urge the seal to become a wick.

Countless tricks fell, but the lamp did not react in the slightest. Xie Hanzhou tried three times in a row, and it was all like this, which was disappointing.

"There is nothing wrong with the materials and the manufacturing method, but why..... Why doesn't the Soul Lantern work? Can't get you back?."

A face was a little pale because of a few days and nights of refining, but the clear and frosty eyes were extremely deep and dark at this time, and the eyes were burning, staring at the lamp, but there was still no sign of light.

"There is no mistake, there is no problem with the Soul Gathering Lamp, why is it not on....... Ah Ling, your soul is real....... Gone? ”

As long as the soul is alive, even if he is reincarnated, the soul gathering lamp will help him find his soul, unless the soul is no longer in this world, the lamp will not react.

Unacceptable for a while, Xie Hanzhou looked at the lamp in his hand and was silent for a long time.

The long eyelashes slowly raised, and the lonely figure silently walked to the entrance of the cave, and the full moon hung in the sky, as if it had remained unchanged for eternity.

He took out something from the storage bag, tilted his head and tasted it, the slightly cool wine slid into his throat, but after a sip, he already felt a fog in front of him, a little drunk, as if in a dream-

A voice called:

"Xie Hanzhou? Senior Brother Xie. Big icebergs! ”

"Big iceberg, you say, this moon is so round, shouldn't it be time to make moon cakes and eat them? I happen to have the wild fruit sent by the villagers last time, how about I make you a mooncake with fruit filling? ”

The woman stood under the corridor, looking at the gray-white moonlight, looking sideways at him, her weak and gorgeous eyes, under the silver-white moonlight, like a pool of quiet and warm water, people couldn't help but indulge.

In the dream, his face was cold, his eyes were lonely, and he was as cold as a piece of ice.

"Immortal cultivators shouldn't have a heavy appetite."

The woman covered her mouth and smiled, lazy and lazy, and didn't care at all:

"People in the world say that reunion in the world is the most important, why is it your turn to be a big iceberg, always open your mouth and close your mouth to cultivate, there is no fun. If you eat something sweet, your heart will not be bitter. If you don't eat it, you won't have a chance to taste it next time. You know, there are always a lot of mistakes in life, but they won't be waiting for you all the time to give you any chance to regret it. ”

In the dream, he is still cold, even if he and her always get along day and night, there are always all kinds of accidents that make them collide together coincidentally, so that he always pays attention to her movements in the crowd for the first time, but his expression is still as cold as ice.

"I never regret it."

In a word, it is a prophecy.

Everything in the dream seemed to be in the middle of a spring night, when the snow suddenly fell, the flower branch failed miserably, and the woman disappeared completely into his world.

As soon as he woke up from a drunken dream, he lay down on the ground at some point, and slowly sat up from the ground, his white clothes sticking to the dust and falling into ugly patches. He didn't care, reached out to the side, and picked up a black lamp—

The lamp was covered in black paint, and the tentacles were cold, as if the netherworld was reborn, and the breath was dangerous, but the wick did not have any traces of lighting.

"Fourteen times."

He's tried fourteen times.

It took countless genius earth treasures and precious elixirs to refine the Soul Gathering Lamp, and the fourteen reboots of the seal, all of which did not have the slightest reaction-

Gathering Souls failed.

And the conjecture that had been circling in my heart before, the conjecture that Sang Ling was Lin Ling, finally did not hold. Even if the two are similar in appearance, temperament, and hobbies.

Sang Ling is not Lin Ling after all, and she will never come back.

……

Outside Xuanzhou.

The carriage swayed forward, and the noise on both sides of the road drifted in through the open windows, bustling and alive, like the summer sun overhead, scorching hot.

But Sang Ling in the carriage could only wrap the blanket tightly on her body and shout to close the window because of the yin qi attack at this time.

"Such a cold wind has come in, Su Luo, close the window quickly!"

"Stupid hamster, your coldness is caused by the yin qi in your body, even if there is no wind outside, you are still cold."

Saying this, Su Luo finally sweated and reached out to close the window.

However, he took advantage of Sang Ling's inattention, and secretly left a small crack, hoping that the breeze outside the window would blow away the stuffy smell in the carriage.

Outside the carriage, a man in a gray cloth cloak was leaning over and asking for directions to the villagers selling vegetables on the side of the road:

"Excuse me, how to get to Huang Yu Village."

"Huang Yu Village?"

Su Luoxun went to the prestige, and there was only a vast sea of people. The carriage continued to the northwest, moving away from a man in the crowd with a rickety figure.
