Lin Xi looked at Jiang Chen with a heartbroken look and covered his wound in pain: "You actually ...... It really works...... I'm ...... Your ......"

She also wanted to pull out the sword blade, but under Jiang Chen's grip, the sword blade seemed to have taken root, not only could not be pulled, but pierced deeper little by little.

"You shouldn't call me 'good brother,' she never called me that." Jiang Chen said lightly, "What's more, the fragrance on her body can't be imitated by this imposter at all." ”

"No...... Please...... You can't kill me...... Otherwise, this village ...... will all die...... Wind and rain building will not let go of your ......"

"Wind and rain building? Something to do with you? ”

"Yes, yes! I'm the Dharma Protector Elder of the Wind and Rain Building, you can't kill me! Lord White Ghost Chou will not let you go! ”

"I don't care who you are, give me an honest explanation, where is Miss Lin?" Jiang Chen asked sharply.

Lin Xi said weakly: "You let me go...... I'll just ......"

At this time, Jiang Chen faintly heard a coquettish voice from a distance: "Jiang Chen, kill it—"

Jiang Chen's brows furrowed, and he saw that the appearance of "Lin Xi" in front of him changed rapidly, his nose bulged forward, his cheeks and chin narrowed and sharpened, and his fangs stuck out of the corners of his mouth, turning into something like a wolf and a dog—wasn't this the big yellow dog that rubbed around their legs last night?

But unlike the yellow dog, the thing also has horns on its forehead, and its body is getting bigger and bigger, and its hair has faded, revealing a gray-white body, like a clam.

The monster's face was painful, and his expression was extremely hideous, and the surrounding water vapor was also stained red by its blood, condensing into a substantial tentacle-like thing, coiling towards Jiang Chen's body.

"Jiang Chen, be careful!" The call is loud from far and near.

The blood-red fog churned, like the tentacles of a giant beast, sticky and dense, exuding a bloody chill, enveloping Jiang Chen entirely.

Jiang Chen snorted lightly, and the space around him was distorted like a mirror, bursting out with a cold moonlight like a moonlight, and the whole person seemed to have turned into a round of cold moon, dispersing the crimson mist.

"Die!"

Jiang Chen pointed out with his left hand, and it was another cold moon light that tore through all things, and everywhere he passed, the mist, the lake, and the demons, everything was divided into two halves.

"Spatial scars" are unstoppable!

The demon cracked and was split in half.

Red smoke scattered.

The demon didn't shed any blood, and the outline of the blood and flesh suddenly collapsed and scattered into the mist of blood, as if it had been made of flour.

"Want to run? Spiral pills! ”

Jiang Chen stretched out his hand again, and the space in his palm collapsed inward, forming a rapidly rotating vortex in an instant, and the huge centripetal force absorbed the surrounding blood mist.

The mist surged violently like a boil, as if it had become a living thing, and it was desperately floating outward, still dying, but it could not escape the stronger and stronger suction, and finally, after a mournful roar, it was helplessly swept into the whirlpool and disappeared.

Jiang Chen flicked his fingers, and all the dark and dirty dirt dissipated, and everything returned to tranquility.

All that was left was a red bead, lying in the palm of his hand, glowing blood-red.

As far as the eye can see, the mist that enveloped the village has also disappeared without a trace, as if a light veil has been lifted, and it is like the dust on the glass has been wiped clean, and the vision is unusually clear and bright.

Jiang Chen's heart also seemed to have been washed, some indescribable haze was erased, the whole person's spirit was lifted, and his heart was ethereal and joyful.

The breeze blew away the dream, and it stirred through his body, through the lake, the house, and the peach grove, and rippled out into the endless place, alarming the sleeping creatures, and causing them to chirp and make noise.

The dark clouds dispersed, and the moon shone down on the earth from the sky, sprinkling a layer of clear light, which was clear for thousands of miles.

Lin Xi's figure not far away became more and more bright and moving in the moonlight, she looked at Jiang Chen fixedly, her bright face seemed to be glowing, and when she looked closely, there was a shallow tear stain in the corner of her eye.

Lin Xi wiped his eyes and said softly, "The mirage has been dispelled, and the mirage should be dead." ”

Jiang Chen took a few steps closer and asked, "Mirage?" ”

"Well, that's what you killed. It can manipulate mirages, create illusions, and trick people into worshipping it as a god. It's a pity that it met a master like you who doesn't know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, and I only blame it for its bad luck. ”

"You saw it all?"

Jiang Chen only hoped that Lin Xi would not see the first half of the scene, in order to confuse the mirage, he deliberately accompanied it to act for a while, but the mirage changed into Lin Xi's appearance again, and at this time, in front of the main master, it was inevitably a little embarrassing.

Lin Xi smiled slightly: "I only saw the sword you killed it, as for how it was called 'good brother' before, I didn't hear it." ”

"That's good......"

"Does it smell good?"

"Hmm...... I didn't ......" Jiang Chen wanted to say, "I don't smell good about you", but when the words came to his mouth, he felt that it was inappropriate, and quickly changed his words, "I didn't pay too much attention." ”

"Really?" Lin Xi leaned a little closer, close to his face, Jiang Chen could even smell Rulan's breath, "It's so similar to me, it can almost be said to be exactly the same, just because it shouted the wrong name and applied the wrong perfume, you saw through its disguise and killed it with a sword." If...... I mean, if one day I change my perfume and call me the wrong name, will you kill me with a sword? ”

"Of course not. You'll never call me ......"

"Good brother~" Lin Xi called softly, and then cleared his throat, "Is that what you called?" ”

Jiang Chen stared and did not speak.

The voice summoned by the real Lin Xi, although it was not as contrived as the mirage demon deliberately holding his throat, was delicate and innocent, and the lethality became more and more powerful, making people feel refreshed, as if they were drunk with a jar of wine.

"Smell it again, isn't it the fragrance? I'm sure I'm a real person, right? Lin Xi blinked, "The next time I change the perfume, I must tell you in advance, lest you kill the wrong person." ”

Jiang Chen smiled awkwardly: "The scene at that time, if I didn't be ruthless......"

"I know, the situation was critical, and the mirage took on my form to coax you over, and it was about to kill you, so you just had to do it at the time, and I don't blame you. On the contrary, I would like to thank you. Lin Xi said leisurely, "This mirage demon has a strong mana, and the illusion set up can be fake and real, even if I have the soul cultivation bead in my hand, I can't break its maze, thanks to your sword, I was rescued from the illusion." ”

Jiang Chen took the opportunity to change the topic: "Miss Lin, why don't you sleep in the house, what are you doing outside?" ”

Lin Xi stared at him and sighed faintly: "I can't sleep, listening to the movements of the two of you, I sweated again, so I simply came out to take a bath, and by the way, I will meet the peach blossom god." ”

Jiang Chen had a black line on his forehead: "I didn't do anything with Miss Xia Rong!" ”

Lin Xi nodded: "What I understand is just a warm quilt, it's not a big deal." So I don't blame you! It's because I'm not strong-willed, I'm always distracted, and I heard about the crime of the peach blossom god who sacrificed the living, and I couldn't get angry, so I wanted to settle accounts with it......"

"Alas, you're too impulsive......"

"Not really! After I took a cold shower, I calmed down, but unfortunately it was too late, and I was trapped in the illusion by this mirage, and in the end, thanks to you, I rescued me. It was my mistake, I shouldn't have been impulsive, please forgive me......"

Jiang Chen listened to Lin Xi's words of thanks, but his tone was a little wrong, and he hurriedly changed the topic: "Have you ever been in that sacrificial peach blossom forest?" ”

"I've been there, but I'm so confused by the illusion that I don't see the 'truth'." Speaking of business, Lin Xi's face became serious, "I can feel that there are many unjust souls there, all of them are living sacrifices that have been mutilated by mirages. When I got there, my hair stood on end, and listening to the ghosts whispering in my ear was like going to hell......"

She couldn't help but shudder when she thought back to that cold, damp, rotten, dark, sticky, and bloody illusion.

Jiang Chen said in a deep voice: "Miss Qiyan may still be inside, let's go, let's go over and have a look!" ”

Although Lin Xi was reluctant and muttered a few words in his mouth, he also followed behind.

The two of them walked into the peach forest, even if the mirage had been ambushed, this journey was terrifying and strange - under the fallen leaves and peach petals, there were the bones of many women buried, and under the mirage, these corpses did not rot, but lay quietly on the ground. If you lift the fallen leaves on their bodies, you can see that their faces are still lifelike, and their skin is still delicate, as if they are just asleep. Some even opened their eyes, but there was no longer a look in their eyes, and they looked at the two passers-by on the road vacantly and strangely.

Jiang Chen and Lin Xi stepped on the corpse with every step, as if they had walked on a road paved by people. The feeling of being soft and weak makes people numb under their feet. Streams of cold power seeped out of the ground, freezing the soles of the two of them. The closer you get to the depths of the peach forest, the more it is like falling into an ice cave, and the forest is cold to the bone.

"In the past few hundred years, every year there have been girls sacrificed to mirages, and it is because of the sacrifices of these girls that Peach Blossom Village has maintained the so-called peace." Lin Xi's tone was cold and sarcastic, "If it weren't for us, in the next few hundred years, there would be so many girls being sent in one after another, and the corpses would accumulate more and more until the whole forest could not fit it." ”

"These girls, with no blood on them, don't look like they've been tortured. If it wasn't for the sake of satisfying evil desires, why would the mirages kill them? ”

Lin Xi muttered: "I guess it's holding an evil ritual to use these girls as sacrifices to avoid calamity." ”

"Doom?"

A flash of inspiration flashed in Jiang Chen's mind.

Yes, the mirage is a remnant of the previous era, and it also has the calamity of becoming and dwelling in the void. When the world was destroyed thousands of years ago, the mirage should have perished with it, but it escaped this catastrophe, and it must have paid a huge price for it - the corpses of these girls are the price!

Jiang Chen sighed: "Fortunately, the mirage is already dead, and it can't harm people anymore." ”

He still hadn't said half a sentence in his heart - after the mirage died, Peach Blossom Village might cease to exist.

Lin Xi said lightly: "I can see that you actually don't want to kill it, because you like this village very much—except for this peach blossom forest." If it weren't for me, you probably wouldn't have stabbed that sword, would you? ”

Jiang Chen sighed: "Kill all the killings, what are you talking about." ”

"If you like, I can help you keep this village alive."

"You?" Jiang Chenhu turned his head suspiciously, looking at Lin Xi's side face.

"I also know a little bit about the use of mirage." Lin Xi stretched out his palm, "Lend me the beads." ”

"This is a mirage?" Jiang Chen handed Lin Xi the blood-red beads that had condensed after the mirage's death.

Lin Xi picked up the mirage bead and recited the magic in his mouth, and saw a red mist emanating from the mirage bead and spreading in all directions, dyeing every corner with a hazy light veil.

The mountain village, which was originally clearly visible, rose again into a mist, connecting with the shadowy peach forest, swaying.

The moonlight also disappeared behind the clouds, and if you looked from outside the peach forest, you could only see a hazy mist, and there was no longer any life.

After a long time, Lin Xi opened his eyes and exhaled: "This thing is quite easy to use." ”

Jiang Chen asked, "Did you succeed?" ”

"Well, the Illusion Fog can only last for about three months, but it should be enough, and when I go back, I will ask someone to come again and bring the villagers here back to the human realm."

Lin Xi tossed the mirage beads and asked casually, "This thing goes well with my supernatural powers, can you give it to me?" You seem to have given a gift to that Peach Blossom Assassin, right? ”

"If you like it, I'll give it to you."

"Good. But I won't say thank you, you know why. ”

Jiang Chen secretly said in his heart, of course I know, you have said it many times - one day in the future, you will return it to me with interest!

Lin Xi's mood seemed to be much better, and his steps became brisk: "Let's go, let's see if the Qiyan girl is dead." ”

The two of them stepped on the soft road, walked to the depths of the peach forest, and soon found Qiyan.

Qiyan curled up on a altar, surrounded by runes, incense altars, and some miscellaneous arrangements, the whole person seemed to be an offering, similar to a cold pig's head.

As a sacrifice, the three animals were plucked and cooked, and the smoke was not on their shirts.

The difference is that Qiyan is still breathing, but she is asleep.

"She's still alive, you can rest assured." Lin Xi turned his head and winked at Jiang Chen, "If you have anything to say to her, or want to do something, no one will bother." I'll wait for you outside. ”

"Let's go, it's time for us to go."

"Why, don't you have a warm goodbye to her?"

Jiang Chen stepped on the ground angrily, and a sleeping woman was pulled under his feet: "Do you think I will be interested in this kind of place?" Don't talk about Qiyan, even if it's you-"

Realizing that something was wrong, he swallowed the second half of his words.

Lin Xi's face flushed, shook his head, and muttered, "It's a pity! ”

Jiang Chen suddenly thought of something, and said solemnly: "All the girls in the past few hundred years have been murdered, why is Qiyan the only one spared?" ”

Lin Xi smiled: "Thinking of this, it seems that you are really not carried away by desire." When I was using the mirage just now, I saw some scenes from the past. The reason why the mirage collected these girls was to create a perfect body for themselves. It has a very critical eye and does not tolerate the slightest flaw. To do this, it does not hesitate to spend hundreds of years. ”

Jiang Chen frowned: "Hundreds of years have passed, hasn't it been completed yet?" ”

"It's very close to success, Qiyan is its proud work, it is pieced together little by little with the most perfect parts, without the slightest flaw......"

"I'll go, isn't this artificial plastic surgery?"

"Artificial plastic surgery? Well, that's a fitting word. That's right, it took hundreds of years of hard work to fulfill the wish on Qiyan. It has planted the seed in Qiyan's body, and as long as it waits until the day of July 7th, it will perform a ceremony to occupy Qiyan's body and possess the perfect body of its dreams. ”

Jiang Chen's eyes widened and he took a long breath: "In other words, the mirage demon is likely to use Qi smoke as a container and resurrect again?" ”

Lin Xi nodded: "The three caves of the cunning rabbit, let alone the mirage, a big monster that has lived for thousands of years." It is a demon of mist and illusion, changing in all directions, and must have prepared a way back for itself. It's not that easy to kill it completely. ”

"Now that you've got the mirage, there should be a way to fix it, right?"

The corners of Lin Xi's mouth curled slightly: "In order to solve this hidden danger, I have three strategies, which one do you choose?" ”

Jiang Chen stroked his forehead: "What's the best policy?" ”

Lin Xi's right hand slashed downward: "Kill Qiyan, and never suffer in the future." ”

Jiang Chen's eyes were in a trance, and he only felt that this scene was familiar.

By the way, Miss Gao was the same at the beginning, shouting that she wanted to see Song Yiyi's head before it got dark.

Although these two eldest ladies are enemies, they are surprisingly similar in terms of decisiveness!

Jiang Chen nodded: "Then let's take a good step." ”

Lin Xi was surprised, and his eyes widened: "You just agreed?" I haven't said the middle and bottom strategies yet! ”

"Needless to say, I'll choose the best strategy."

"No, why don't you listen to it and choose again?"

"Then you say, what is the middle strategy?"

"The middle strategy is ......" The corners of Lin Xi's mouth twitched, and he had originally thought of an expression to tease Jiang Chen, but because he was too unexpected and in a hurry, he only looked a little funny, "With your pure yang qi, water the seeds of the mirage." ”

Jiang Chen's expression was calm: "In other words, you want me to do that kind of thing with her?" ”

Lin Xi nodded, for fear that Jiang Chen would say "I chose the strategy" again, so he didn't care about selling Guanzi, and continued: "In the end, there is a next policy, I will give the villagers a dream and cut off the power of the mirage's faith, so that the seeds can be temporarily suppressed, and if I persist for a month or two, I will call my family to solve this trouble when I go back." ”

Jiang Chen rubbed his chin and said, "Such a good strategy, why is it a strategy?" ”

Of course, Lin Xi couldn't say, "Because I'm going to tease you." She cleared her throat and said solemnly: "Because the execution is the most complicated and uncontrollable." However, since you like this strategy, then choose it. ”

The next day, when I woke up in the morning light, a strange thing happened in the village - the statue of the peach blossom god that had stood in the center of the village for hundreds of years had several cracks, and his majestic face was scratched.

Everyone in the village sighed and said that the Peach Blossom God had abandoned them and would never bless the village again.

But someone came forward and said that a fairy gave her a dream last night, saying that yesterday's two guests were the real peach blossom gods, and they would send an envoy to pick up the villagers to go to heaven on earth in a month.

Just a Xia Rong said this, it is not enough to believe it, but Qiyan, Yunwei, Bizhu, and Hanxiang...... They all stood up and said that they had the same dream, and they were all oracles of the Peach Blossom God.

The villagers were skeptical, and continued to live as usual, and after half a month, there was still no disaster, so they believed that the real peach blossom god was still protecting them.

In a place where the villagers could not see, the two "Peach Blossom Gods" had already embarked on a journey of escape.

"Do you have any regrets?"

"Regret what?"

"Qiyan, Xia Rong, Yunwei, Bizhu...... They are all beautiful and lovely girls, and you had the opportunity to have something happen to them, but nothing happened in the end. ”

"Ahem, it's a little regretful."

"Huh?"

"But it doesn't matter, there will be a chance in the future. I'm going to recharge my batteries and wait for that day to come. ”

"You...... Seriously? ”

"Well, I hope you don't sleep next door to me that day."

"Believe it or not, I strangled you?"
