The broken statue of the Jingling Immortal Emperor was silent.

Zi Ye looked at the statue and pouted, "This Jingling Immortal Emperor, when he saw the princess of the Night Demon Clan, he didn't even show up to meet him. ”

Zhang Yanqi thought about it, Emperor Jingling Immortal would inevitably go back to the God Realm.

Dispose of the ape's carcass first.

Come to the backyard of Jingling Palace.

Zhang Yanqi began to dig a pit as a burial ground for the apes.

Purple Night stood quietly with the Night Demon umbrella to the side.

Xiao Meizi ran back to help, and said to Zhang Yanqi kindly: "Little Seventh Brother, you saved my life again, you are a big hero!" ”

Zhang Yanqi scratched her head, "I promised Aunt Mei that if I want to find you, you'll be fine." ”

So he continued to dig the pit.

Xiao Meizi pointed to the ape and said: "He is a big villain, why bother with him, throw him into the wild, and feed the wolf dogs." ”

"No, he died at my hands, and everyone died, so let him be buried in peace." Zhang Yanqi said.

The grave was dug and the ape body was put into the pit.

Suddenly, lightning flashed from the ape's chest.

Zhang Yanqi was so frightened that he jumped three steps back, "He...... He's not dead yet! ”

Zi Ye looked at it and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, he is already dead, and that is just his residual electricity." ”

"Don't waste that energy."

Purple Night immediately raised the Night Demon Umbrella and said:

"Collect the soul in his soul and cultivate my outer body."

Zi Ye asked Zhang Yanqi to hold the handle of the umbrella, absorb the residual energy of the ape through the Night Demon Umbrella, and transmit it to him.

Zhang Yanqi paused, but let go of his hand and said no.

"Why? This energy should not be in vain. Purple Night was puzzled, not understanding why he would refuse.

I saw Zhang Yanqi walk to the corner of the backyard, pinch a peach branch from a wild peach blossom tree in full bloom, and insert it on the ape grave.

Facing the tomb with peach blossoms, Zhang Yanqi said slowly:

"Ape, you are a thief, a wicked person, you have made so many girls into wax figures, I killed you, and I did not kill you wrongly."

"But I know that you were once a poor man, imprisoned in a dark mine, and that it was not a good feeling to be in the dark. If it were me, I'm afraid I'd run away too. Alas, only sigh that the world is merciless, turning you into a villain. ”

"It's very quiet here, may you not be a miner in the next life, let alone a wicked person, just use your last energy to turn into this peach blossom, and enjoy the sunshine here quietly............"

After speaking, he bowed his head and mourned in silence.

On the side, Xiao Meizi asked suspiciously: "Little Seventh Brother, why are you giving a silent tribute to the villain?" ”

Zhang Yanqi replied: "There is a reason why bad people are bad, and sometimes, it is this complex and ruthless world that turns them into bad people. The bad guys are dead, punished, and that's enough. ”

Xiao Meizi was a little incomprehensible.

Ziye crossed his waist and pursed his mouth, "What a big fool, wasted in vain." But then he thought again: "If he were to be changed to the Blood Flame Demon Venerable, what would he choose?" With his arrogance, I'm afraid ......"

"I'm afraid he will make the same choice as Zhang Yanqi."

"Zhang Yanqi is a waste, and the Blood Flame Demon Venerable is a hero, but the two of them are the same in their bones, that kind of arrogance, that kind of empathy, and that broad mind."

"They're the same person."

After the silence, Zhang Yanqi turned around and saw Ziye looking at him in a daze, so he asked:

"Do you think I'm a big fool?"

Ziye smiled faintly, "I think you're a fool." But if you think about it, maybe I'm a fool......"

Zhang Yanqi didn't understand what she meant.

Ziye Zhengse said: "You have empathy, and empathy is a very powerful force. It's not just men who are brave and ruthless who are manly, people who can only kill with their swords are not heroes, they are butchers. ”

"Whoever subdues with the sword is violent; Those who subdue people with benevolence are true heroes. ”

"Xiaoye, how can you say such a thing?" Zhang Yanqi was very surprised.

Zi Yexiu raised her eyebrows, "Why, you think I'm just going to play poor." Let me tell you, the night demon clan has lived for tens of thousands of years, and the civilization they advocate is much more advanced than that of humans. ”

She looked at Xiao Meizi who was always standing aside, and asked with a smile, "Xiao Meizi, do you understand?" ”

Xiao Meizi shook her head blankly, but suddenly smiled.

"Although I don't understand, I know that you must be a fairy in the sky, big sister. And he ......"

She pointed at Zhang Yanqi again, blinked, and smiled mysteriously: "He is a big frog who likes fairies!" ”

In a word, Zi Ye smiled, but Zhang Yanqi's face turned red.

A pink peach branch, an oval mound.

I don't know where a gust of wind blows, blowing the peach branches, and the peach blossoms are swaying, which is very beautiful.

The three of them prepared to leave the backyard of the desolate shrine.

Suddenly, there was a sound, and when I looked back, the ape grave had been dug up, and a short black figure was holding the corpse.

This figure floated in the air like a ghost, with black robes and black hair, extremely infiltrating.

Zhang Yanqi pulled out the Night King Sword and shouted, "Who are you, put down the ape!" ”

"I'm not human, I'm a ghost."

The voice was ethereal, with the grinding of wood.

The figure slowly raised his head, Zhang Yanqi felt cold, the figure was really not a person, it was actually a wooden puppet!

The puppet actually could speak, Zhang Yanqi shuddered, "Ghost...... What do you want? ”

The puppet stroked the ape-like corpse with its wooden hand and continued to speak:

"Ghosts are friends of apes, and it's wonderful that apes have become ghosts now. Hehe, it's a pity that he turned into a peach blossom, and the ghost wants to take him away and make him a real ghost. ”

"It turns out that he has been peeping in the shadows."

Zhang Yan said in his heart, and shouted again with courage: "Don't make a fool of yourself, the ape is dead, let him rest in peace, don't disturb him again." ”

"Hehe, Zhang Yanqi, the ghost was going to kill you just now, but when I heard what you said to my friend, I was a little moved. I will leave you with this life today, and you will be amazed when you see my friend again in the future. ”

With that, the puppet's figure floated backwards, disappearing into the darkness.

Zhang Yanqi admired, "What a powerful body!" ”

"The puppet is manipulated by man, this is puppetry." Purple Night told him.

In the darkness all around, there was a faint voice:

People are not as good as corpses, life is better than death, dark stars and ghosts, and ghouls destroy souls.

"Dark Star Ghost Gate!" Zhang Yanqi was shocked.

The four gates of the Dark Star Demon Courtyard, beasts, wind, illusions, and ghosts, the ghost gate is one of the four gates.

Zi Ye remembered something, and suddenly realized, "By the way, didn't the ape say that he has a good friend in the Dark Star Ghost Gate......"

She couldn't help but shudder, "He's the one who made the girl into a wax man, oops, that's terrible!" ”

Zhang Yanqi pondered: "The Red Lion, the Mao Tiger, the Silver Winged Bee, the Ape, and the Xuan Python are all part of the Dark Star Beast Gate, and one Beast Gate is enough for a headache, and now the people who come to the Ghost Gate, alas, it is really getting more and more difficult to deal with." ”

Zi Ye speculated: "Don't worry, if he wants to do it, he will do it just now." I think he just came to his friend. ”

"I didn't expect this ghost to be quite righteous." Zhang Yanqi sighed.

After that, the three of them left Jingling Palace.

Zhang Yanqi decided to send Xiaomeizi home first, and then go to the Fulai Inn to find the Ding brothers and sisters.

Aunt Mei saw that Xiao Meizi had returned safely and hugged her excitedly.

"Silly boy, don't leave your mother again!"

"Mother, I'm fine, I'm fine......"

Both mother and daughter wept.

Watching the mother and daughter reunite, Zhang Yanqi was indescribably happy.

Aunt Mei held Zhang Yanqi's hand tightly and thanked her for her kindness: "Zhang Daxia, you are the life-saving benefactor of our family, we have nothing to repay, please accept my worship!" ”

"Aunt Mei, don't do this."

"This will be your home from now on, and you are always welcome!"

In order to repay the favor, Xiao Meizi proposed to make eyeliner, and she knew a lot of little beggars in the north of the city, and she could help find the Dark Star Demon General.

Those demon generals must be very recognizable.

Bidding farewell to the mother and daughter of the Mei family, Purple Night returned to the Daredevil umbrella.

Zhang Yanqi came to the Fulai Inn.

A team of Ding brothers and sisters lived in the Fulai Inn, and Zhang Yanqi joined their team.

"Divine Magnetic Sword" Ding Feng asked Zhang Yanqi where his cousin Xiaozi went.

Zhang Yanqi only said that he would go back to his relatives' house, Ding Feng was quite disappointed, and repeatedly invited Ziye out for dinner.

Ding Feng had no courtesy to offer, and the colorful swordsman surrounded the "Water Dancing Sword" Ding Weiwei.

Ding Weiwei is the youngest in this group, and she is also petite and bright, so she is very favored.

Zhang Yanqi was alone in the room, had dinner, was called to a meeting, and the night demon umbrella was placed at the head of the bed.

The Ding siblings, the colorful swordsman, and Zhang Yanqi sat around a table to discuss how to find the star stone.

The Star Stone is in the hands of the Dark Star Demon Courtyard, and if you want to find the Star, you must first find the Dark Star Demon General.

Known Darkstar Demons will have:

Python, Flower Butterfly, Iron Mantis, Red Lion, Hairy Tiger, Silverwinged Bee, and Ape (deceased).

The two groups of people who fought with the Dark Star Demon General were the "Divine Eye Sword" Cao Bing and the "Four Elephant Sword" Wangxingzi, as well as the Ding brothers and sisters.

Dongluo City is a huge city, and the whereabouts of the Dark Star Demon General are secretive, even if the Seventeen Swords of the Celestial Star lead the men and horses to search for them separately, it will still be difficult to find them.

Everyone hesitated for a moment.

Captain Ding Feng stood up and reasoned step by step:

"In the ruined temple, the ape said that he knew the whereabouts of the star stone, although he was telling me, but it means that he knew about it."

"If we can find the apes, it means that the other Dark Star Demons must still be hiding in Dongluo City, and if we can't find them, it means that they must have an extremely secret hiding place."

"Tomorrow, everyone will go separately, visit everywhere, inquire a lot, and find out where the demon general is hiding."

"I have a hunch that we're getting closer and closer to finding the Star Stone."

"Good!" Everyone agreed.

At the end of the meeting, Ding Weiwei gently touched Zhang Yanqi and said softly:

"Come to the side yard in a moment, I'll have something to do with you."

"What's the matter with her looking for me?" Zhang Yanqi was puzzled.

Yiyan came to the side courtyard and saw Ding Weiwei standing in the courtyard with two bamboo poles in her hands.

"Here you go."

She threw one to Zhang Yanqi.

Zhang Yanqiqi said: "What is this for?" ”

"Look at the sword!" Ding Weiwei's bamboo pole stabbed Zhang Yanqi directly.

Zhang Yanqi was startled, and the stick in his hand blocked horizontally, blocking the bamboo pole that was stabbing at him.

But Ding Weiwei's swordsmanship has a sticky force, just like water, and as soon as the bamboo pole is rolled, Zhang Yanqi's stick will be taken off.

"What a good swordsmanship!" Zhang Yanqi praised.

"That's all you can do?" Ding Weiwei frowned and threw the bamboo pole to him again.

"Come again!"

The two fought again, and with only two moves, Zhang Yanqi's stick was swept away again.

Zhang Yanqi smiled awkwardly: "You are amazing, I am not your opponent." ”

"How can this kind of martial arts be ......" Ding Weiwei was full of doubts, and suddenly said:

"Come on, take him down for me!"

Five figures, colorful swordsmen, took Zhang Yanqi's limbs and lifted him up.

Zhang Yanqi hurriedly said, "What do you want to do?" ”

"Stop, what are you doing?" Ding Feng suddenly appeared.

Ding Weiwei said to her brother: "Brother, his martial arts are so poor, don't you think it's strange that he can actually kill a master like an ape?" The kind of swordsmanship he used in the broken temple was not the Celestial Star swordsmanship, he must have hidden secrets, or practiced some kind of miraculous skill. ”

"Now I'm going to find out."

After that, he grabbed Zhang Yan's seven veins and began to probe his inner breath.
