Time flies in the small village, and Xu Huaigu feels bored after visiting the village with curiosity at first.

Yu Qin has accompanied Zhuo Cai everywhere in the past few days, and has walked all over the nearby mountains and forests. Huang Shan was even more shameless, first begged for local wine from Zhuo Cai's grandfather, and after tasting it, he was amazed, saying that the small village is definitely a treasure of aura, and the wine is full of aura. So in the past few days, in addition to getting drunk, he has run around the mountains around the small village.

Although he claimed to be there to enjoy the scenery of the mountains and waters, Xu Huaigu actually knew very well in his heart that he was greedy for the stone spirit he found on the side of the road last time, and wanted to pick up another piece.

Xu Huaigu didn't have any opinion on this, there were actually many similarities with the secular world on the path of cultivation, and this money transaction was one of them, and the monks also had to exchange goods, which was a necessary thing.

Although Huang Shan is as cheeky as ever, this is his nature, Xu Huaigu is used to it, but Zuoqiu Xun has made Xu Huaigu feel very strange these days. Since Zuoqiu found the tower that day, he has never seen Zuoqiu find it down, and when Xu Huaigu went up to the third floor to look for her, he only saw a large pile of messy books, and did not see the shadow of Zuoqiu Xun.

He also asked Zhuo Cai about this, and Zhuo Cai said that Zuo Qiu Xun had already walked out of the tower and didn't know where he went. Zuo Qiu Xun has always disliked to talk to the people around her, Xu Huaigu always feels that she is a person with a lot of stories.

Very charlatan people.

So Xu Huaigu had to stay in this black tower for a few days, most of the time he was practicing swordsmanship, but from time to time he would go to the third floor to look at those strange books. With the help of Grandpa Zhuo Cai, he has now read a lot of materials related to the demon clan, and his understanding of the demon clan is increasing day by day.

Xu Huaigu learned that the battle five hundred years ago was actually the so-called invasion of the demon clan outside the territory.

Extraterritoriality is a very vague concept, Xu Huaigu knows that there is another name for the whole world, that is, the middle domain, and people habitually call the region outside the middle region extraterritorial, as for where these demon clans come from outside the territory, there is no record in the book.

There are also differences among the demon clans, like the existence of local demon clans in this central region where Xu Huaigu is located, but the demon clans in the central domain are collectively referred to as the demon clans in the domain, and although the relationship with the demon clans outside the domain is very close, it cannot be regarded as a family.

In this way, the days passed like this for the time being.

Xu Huaigu practiced every day to stabilize his realm, while Zuoqiu Xun nervously comprehended the dry bones of the black phoenix on the fourth floor of the Black Tower, hoping to break through the realm one day earlier.

Three days went by in a flash.

......

The setting sun turned the sky red, staining the blue waters of the lake as the color of blood.

Shi Cheng walked to the lake, looked at the lake, and was a little sluggish.

He remembered the last time he had seen the lake, it seemed like yesterday.

He picked up a small handful of lake water, washed his face, and then picked up another handful and drank it, which was very sweet.

Hua Shan looked at Shi Cheng's strange movements, couldn't help but feel pity, and said to the short swordsman next to him: "Uncle Wei, this guy has become more and more abnormal in the past few days, could it be that he is going crazy because he is tortured by the demons?" ”

Wei Yi, the swordsman with a hat, replied: "I guess it is, so you have to be even more wary." The heart is like a mirror, often wiped, and the avenue will be very wide in the future, unlike this person, who has already reached the end. ”

Hua Shan smiled slightly and said, "Remember Uncle Shi's teachings. ”

Hua Shan turned his head to look at Shi Cheng again, and his eyes became more and more pitying. But more disdain.

Although the name Huashan is not well-known in East Fuyaozhou, it is still well-known in Middle Earth.

He is a disciple of the contemporary patriarch of the Tianhe Sect, a large sect in Middle-earth, and the first disciple of this generation of the Tianhe Sect. Although it is said that the contemporary Tianhe Sect is indeed in decline now, only the sect master and the great elder have been promoted to the Nine Realms, and in the vast sect and the monks in Middle-earth, it can only be barely regarded as a second-rate sect, but the Tianhe Sect was still a first-class sect hundreds of years ago, so it is very famous and there are many people who know it, which is why Huashan can be famous.

Tianhe Sect is currently in the stage of green and yellow, and the quality of disciples is getting worse and worse, but Hua Shan, as the first disciple, has indeed a lot of ability, and when he broke through the four realms, he was personally given an immortal soldier by the sect master, and his combat power is very high. That is, the great importance that Tianhe Sect attaches to him gradually aroused the proud temperament in his heart, so he has always looked down on low-level monks.

This time, he left the sect because he had already reached the peak of the Four Realms, so he had to go outside to find an opportunity to break through the Five Realms. In fact, there are enough opportunities in the sect for him to break through, but Hua Shan's vision is high, and he is not willing to simply break through, and wants to break through under the big opportunity, so that the realm will be firmer, and it will be easier to break through the realm in the future.

The sect sent down this monk from the Six Realms to protect Huashan at all times, just to make Huashan absolutely safe. The two of them traveled all the way from Middle-earth to Dongfu Yaozhou, but they never found a suitable opportunity, so that Huashan's aura was full, and they could break through the five realms at any time, but they kept pressing and did not break through, just to make the breakthrough more perfect.

And this time, they finally met a big opportunity, which was the dry bones of the black phoenix that Shi Cheng said.

The phoenix is the holy bird of the demon clan, and it is also the great demon of the eleventh realm, and the mystery of the dry bones is unimaginable, which is simply a great thing for Hua Shan, a monk of the four realms. And not only that, if there is a chance to bring the dry bones of the Black Phoenix back to the Tianhe Sect, it will be very beneficial even to the Sect Master and Great Elder of the Nine Realms. Maybe the Tianhe Sect could take the opportunity to have two more Ten Realm cultivators and return to the level of a first-class sect.

Hua Shan's mood was a little excited just thinking about it.

At that time, he will be the benefactor of the Tianhe Sect, and when the sect master is old, he will not pass on the position of the sect master to him?

Not only him, but Wei Yi beside him was also very excited.

He was just a small Six Realms monk, and he didn't have much future in the sect, otherwise he wouldn't have been sent by the sect to protect a junior monk. Wei Yi was very unwilling, and he also hoped to regain the attention of the sect through such a thing.

And all of this will happen here.

According to Shi Cheng's previous description, there must be someone or something guarding the secret realm, otherwise how could Shi Cheng's group of brothers die here?

Through the investigation of the past three days, Wei Yi has already found out the basic situation of this small village.

The village was in a precarious state about to collapse, but it was saved because of the dry bones of the black phoenix. In the whole village, except for the priest, the rest of the people were just ordinary people, and the priest was just a low-level monk, in Wei Yi's eyes, this village was a big piece of fat.

Among them, the most troublesome is the person who is still mysterious and guards the secret realm. However, Wei Yi still felt that it was worth taking this risk, his confidence was not only his cultivation in the Six Realms, but also the magic weapons and immortal soldiers rewarded by the many sects on Hua Shan's body.

Wei Yi felt that the time was ripe to start, and Hua Shan was already impatient, so they decided to act tonight.

As for Ye Xiu Shicheng, naturally no one will take care of it.

Whether it is life or death is up to heaven, Hua Shan is too lazy to kill him, anyway, all his value is over.

Hua Shan impatiently asked Shi Cheng, who was still looking at the lake in a daze, and said, "Shi Cheng, are you still leaving?" ”

Shi Cheng shook his head slightly and said, "If you don't leave, the more you go, the more chaotic your heart becomes." This is the end of our transaction, you have also entered this secret realm, I have told you everything I know, and we can also give the price we agreed before, right? ”

The price is ten large beads, which is enough to buy a medium-level magic weapon.

Hua Shan raised his eyebrows: "What did you say?" ”

Wei Yi blamed and said, "What did I tell you? The heart is like a mirror, it's not just words, otherwise sooner or later there will be demons in the heart. ”

Forced by a senior uncle, Hua Shan had to agree on his face: "It's just a joke with him, the price will naturally be paid, and I am not the duplicitous person." ”

So he took out ten big beads from his body, walked to Shi Cheng's side, and said, "Take it, it's enough for you to squander for a lifetime." ”

Shi Cheng slowly stretched out his hand and caught the ten large beads.

Hua Shan turned around and left without looking back, and Wei Yi took one last look at Shi Cheng by the lake, and also turned to leave.

Shi Cheng looked at the ten bright red fairy coins in his hand, and his mood was complicated.

This is the thing that they have been pursuing all along, the thing they have pursued at the cost of their lives, and now it seems that it is nothing more than that.

Shi Cheng had no feelings at all in his heart, and in the past few days, as he went deeper and deeper into this secret realm, those scenes that he had long forgotten were repeated one by one, and his heart also died little by little between this torture.

The voices of the dead brothers echoed in his ears, and the faces that they had long tried to forget appeared in front of him at an inopportune time, and they lingered.

Shi Cheng knew that his life was finally coming to an end, and he no longer had the courage to live.

However, he has one more thing to do before he goes to accompany his brother.

That scroll, I took that scroll with me, so everyone will die that time.

And now, he wants to return the scroll to his brothers.

Shi Cheng looked at the sunset in the distance, at this time there was only half of it left, and the reflection on the lake was more of a black night.

With a wave of his hand, Shi Cheng threw the ten large bead coins into the distance, and then watched them fall into the depths of the lake.

He picked up a handful of water again and washed his face.

Then he finally walked back to the shore, took out the old parchment scroll, and looked at it for a long time.

"Here, I'm finally here to accompany you, and none of us are destined to leave."

Shi Cheng muttered.
