The loose strands of hair were obscured by blood, sweat and stickiness.

Feng Chong didn't dare to pull out his hand slightly.

He sealed his hands and tried his best to activate the mana, trying to complete the spell as quickly as possible.

"The sun is true fire, casting your true form. ”

In the hurried chanting, in the raging flames in front of him, a golden phoenix bird feathers gradually increased.

However.

"Help me to get used to it, intimidate thousands of soldiers, and ...... urgently"

Suddenly.

A cold-lit blade was ghostly handed out, straight to the neck.

is stuck in the fire law is about to succeed, and he is unable to use other means.

As a last resort.

Untie the Dharma seal and close your palms together.

The fire phoenix that could flutter its wings at the sight let out a wail.

Burst open.

The surging waves of fire forced back the deadly blade, and also threw Feng Chong out by himself, smashing into the alleys and alleys.

I don't care about the backlash, which makes my chest hurt and my throat sweet.

He got up on his hands and feet, and plunged headlong into the dark alley.

Again.

And so it is again!

From the moment the two sides clashed, he was almost cornered.

There is no other reason.

The ghost-faced man seems to have the ability to be a prophet of the unknown, able to see through all his tricks at a glance, to see all his movements, and to deliver a deadly sword before the spell is completed.

His Dao cultivation has almost become useless, but he has received a lot of backlash because the spell was forcibly interrupted.

If it weren't for some life-saving means, he would have become a ghost under the sword a long time ago.

Gritting teeth.

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of panic, and a cold light swept in.

Feng Chong struggled to turn around and dodge, but where could he dodge this swift sword light with his sparse skills, the sword blade undoubtedly fell on his body, smashing all over his body.

"The last talisman. ”

Feng Chong had just this thought in his mind, and he was hit his waist and eyes.

The whole person was thrown out in a whirl, and smashed under the wall with a "bang".

Don't worry about crying out in pain.

Raising his hand, he threw out several talismans.

However, where the yellow talisman fell, it was empty, and there was no half of a figure in sight.

Right.

That's it.

The other party is like a roundworm in his belly, and every move he takes is expected by the ghost-faced man.

Counterattack?

Where can this be done?

Feng Chong suddenly had a premonition.

Maybe tonight won't be lucky.

Merely...... He gritted his teeth and pinched the trick.

"Hurry!"

All the talismans ignited, converging into a huge ball of fire, filling the entire narrow alley.

He rolled over and struggled to escape.

......

Xiaoshui is crowded and narrow, and the houses are crowded.

The wide and narrow alleys are connected together, like a labyrinth.

Feng Chong was quite familiar with the terrain in this area, and he could barely dodge the increasingly powerful sword blade of the ghost-faced man with the twists and turns of the alleyways and some small means.

However, there will be an end to the blind escape.

Once again, he dodged the deadly sword, leaving a deep bony wound in his arm and burrowing into an alley.

Ahead of him was a towering wall.

Dead end?

Finished.

He smiled miserably and looked back in a hurry.

The moonlight is shining brightly, and the lanes are deep.

The ghost-faced man leapt down from the wall, like a goshawk pounced.

The sword light is connected to the moonlight.

Shine brightly.

It's dazzling, and it's cold.

It's so fast that it's just a blink of an eye.

Poof.

His chest was cold, and his blood flowed down the cold steel.

Feng Chong's body froze suddenly, his head hung down weakly, and his left hand weakly pulled a few times in the air.

His face was buried in the shadows, and his lips were pursed.

The sound is small, but clear enough.

Here's what he said:

"Got you!"

With the voice of the voice.

The blood that had congealed on the tip of the sword dripped down.

But it's like a spark thrown into firewood.

Suddenly, I saw a glimmer of light floating on the ground.

The ghost-faced man looked down.

At the feet of the two of them, there were seven bloody footprints arranged in a Beidou pattern with golden flames entwined with golden flames.

The ghost-faced man was about to withdraw immediately, but Feng Chong's left hand, which seemed to be powerless to grasp, grabbed him at this time.

The Taoist raised his face, and a resolute smile appeared on his embarrassed face.

is still gushing blood, and finally can say it completely:

"Haste as a law. ”

This is his last teaching.

The flame of light on Kuidou's footprints suddenly spread, connecting into a golden talisman.

Forthwith.

Raging golden flames rose into the sky.

......

Feng Chong didn't look at the enemy who was struggling and screaming in the flames of light.

He staggered a few steps, trying to get to his feet.

But this moment.

All the will and strength flowed quickly with the wound in the chest.

He eventually fell, lying on his back on the hard, cold bluestone slab.

Gradually distracting his gaze on the moon that was sandwiched between the high walls of the alley.

Somehow.

What flashed in my mind was a fragment of him in a dream as a glass lion, eating living people in the fire.

He did his best to banish the distractions from his mind.

When I was cultivating in the mountains, I remembered the details that had been forgotten, and I remembered the repeated admonitions of the vague master.

"Demon Slayer ......"

He muttered.

The moonlight dimmed a little bit in front of him.

............

The skyrocketing flame naturally caused some commotion.

But the people of Xiaoshui are really obedient.

Under curfew.

Instead of anyone coming out to check, even the little commotion quickly subsided.

Not much.

A patrol team of officers rushed to the scene.

All that was left for them or to say was the mess on the ground and a charred corpse.

Blown by the evening breeze.

And they were scattered into ashes.

The officials pondered for a while, whispered a few words, and finally retreated.

After a while.

A corner at the entrance of the alley not far away.

The light and shadow in the air distorted for a while, and finally two figures appeared out of thin air.

Both of them wore ghost faces made of bronze, one laughing wildly, the other angry, but they also contrasted with each other.

Needless to say, it is naturally Yu Mei and Li Changan.

"The Last Spell ...... the Glass Lion"

Yu Mei looked at Li Changan solemnly.

Although the current condition of the Taoist priest is not as miserable as Feng Chong's before his death, his wig has also been burned by the flames, his clothes are only a little scorched black cloth, and his body is covered with burns.

"You could have dodged. ”

Li Changan took off his mask and said:

"Feng Daoyou told me that the spell is called the 'Golden Flame Mantra', which is derived from the Golden Light Mantra, although the power is huge, but it only hurts the demons and evils, and it is his last means of facing the enemy......"

The Taoist priest's eyes kept looking at the place where Feng Chong died, his lips opened and closed for a long time, and he didn't say much after all, but just turned his head and said to Yu Mei:

"Thank you. ”

Even if she helped her hide her tracks, she also thanked her for not interfering.

Yu Mei turned his face away.

"There is no next time. ”

"I've saved it. ”

Li Changan smiled reluctantly, but asked suspiciously:

"What about the Tai Sui Demon?"

"Water Moon View. ”

............

Following.

The golden crow is confused at the beginning.

On the outskirts of the city on a low hill.

The water and moon view the secluded forest and bathe in the glow.

In front of the mountain gate, there were believers who came to visit early, and they were not in a hurry to burn incense in the front hall when they entered the door, but went to the backyard under the guidance of the Taoist boy.

Because Xiaoshui has not been peaceful recently, there are both demon girls who are fierce at night, and there are all kinds of strange things, the county lord invited Qingping Zhenren to hold a grand ceremony before the Dionysian sacrifice, not only for the souls of the victims in the previous night, but also for the disaster in Xiaoshui City to pray for some bad luck, so as to welcome the festival.

But the Water Moon View has always been thrifty and does not accumulate assets, and the Taoist priests who practice in the view are only ten fingers of the children.

With such a small amount of manpower, how can we carry out a grand ritual?

Fortunately, if the view is beyond its strength, there are believers to help.

These men and women who went to the mountain early in the morning came to the mountain after receiving the news, and they had the money to contribute and the strength to participate in the grand event.

However, with a large number of people, it is inevitable that they will be mixed and mixed with some different characters.

......

From the moment you step into the mountain gate.

Li Changan realized that this operation might have to be fruitless again.

The reason is simple.

In the view of the water and moon, there is no mildew condensed by resentment.

"Did you find anything?"

Li Changan glanced sideways, and it was a rough peasant woman who came over, pretending to pick and wash the fungus carelessly.

He looked around him as if nothing had happened.

At this moment, the two of them are in the kitchen of Shuiyueguan, because they have to prepare tribute and fasting meals, the kitchen is crowded with busy people, smoky and burning, very lively.

Seeing that no one was paying attention, Li Changan whispered to the peasant woman, which was actually Yu Mei.

"Nothing, what about you?"

Yu Mei shook his head as well.

This is not unexpected.

There is no mildew, which means that in the Water Moon View, the two of them have been deceived by the illusion like everyone else, since they can't see through the illusion, how can they find clues?

Fortunately, before they were ready to venture in to investigate, the two made a plan for this situation.

Li Changan called again:

"Bacchus is here?"

This time there was finally a response.

"I'm sorry. Bacchus's apologetic voice sounded in his ears, "It's hard for my divine thoughts to penetrate here at the Water Moon Temple, and it's been delayed for a lot of time. ”

"It doesn't matter. Li Changan asked, "Are you ready?"

"All is ready, the two of them closed their left eyes. ”

Li Changan followed the instructions.

Everything is business as usual in the eyes, no change.

"Close your right eye again and open your left eye. ”

Li Changan did as he said.

This time, the world in my eyes suddenly changed drastically.

The room was crawling with mold again, and the cutting boards and the pigs, cattle and mutton hanging from the beams were now the corpses of people who had been stripped and washed.

The corners of the walls, which used to be filled with large wooden barrels of water waste, are now stuffed with blood-stained hair and tattered official uniforms.

Come to think of it, these are the objects that we are going to exceed.

Look at the stove again.

The fireworker had already turned into a four-armed horse monkey, holding all kinds of kitchen utensils, and stir-frying the "fungus" that Yu Mei had just picked and washed by himself—a pot of soaked white ears, adding oil and salt, and stir-frying them in a blazing cauldron. During the period, I also picked up a piece and tasted it, chewed it in my mouth, and it was crisp and sound.

In this situation, Rao is Li Changan often walks in the ancient tombs of deserted houses, and is used to seeing the strange and tragic world, and it is inevitable to sigh for it, not to mention Yu Mei, a tree demon who has lived in Xiaoshui for hundreds of years, for a while, he was in a trance.

Suddenly.

Behind.

"What are you looking at?"

Yu Mei suddenly stirred, and he was about to attack.

Li Changan held her down, turned around as if nothing happened, and complained:

"You are talking coldly behind your back, you scared me, what's the matter?"

The one who spoke was also a lady who helped the cook, she laughed and scolded a few words, and got down to business.

"Stop, help deliver the tribute to the courtyard first. ”

Yu Mei had just never seen such a scene, and he was shocked for a while, but now he also reacted, and took the tribute from the eldest mother together with Li Changan.

In the right eye, those were two pigs' heads.

In the left eye, there are two human heads with hair permed, and two human heads with the same face.

Li Changan was very impressed by this face.

This is the face of Gu Tian's or Tai Sui Demon.

......

"Judging from these two heads, the Tai Sui Demon is probably used as a food source by phantom butterflies. ”

"Can the flesh and blood of the Tai Sui Demon be eaten?"

"The flesh and blood of the body will make people hungry and crazy, and the avatar will only make people hungry, and it is still okay to fill the belly of the worm cubs. ”

"So the Tai Sui Demon must still be alive and well, and he is still hiding somewhere in the Water Moon Temple. ”

The two whispered a few words and stepped into a spacious courtyard.

In the world of the right eye, the sun is warm here, the heat is in full swing, and the joy is harmonious, and many men, women, and children under the command of a few Taoists, quickly build the venue for blessing little by little; but in the world of the left eye, the courtyard is full of mold, looking dirty and dilapidated, and the believers look numb like puppets, and the Taoists have become fierce monsters, staring at the saliva of the believers in the field.

"It seems that the incarnation of the Tai Sui Demon is not very hungry. ”

Li Changan still had the leisure to say witty things, and Yu Mei glanced at him.

"There's no clue in the front yard, so we'll have to look for it in the backyard. ”

Li Changan's color was correct, and he responded quietly:

"Good. ”

But at this point.

"Knock~"

Suddenly, there was a faint sound of bells in the courtyard.

The worshippers in the courtyard looked up and listened to the sound, and went about their business as if nothing had happened, but the monsters in the field held their heads high, and the same kind of fanaticism appeared on their hideous faces.

The Taoist priest's heart moved, and he raised his eyes to look away.

But seeing where the bell came from, in the direction of the mountain behind the water moon, the clouds, the sky, and the mountains spread resentment and mildew, in the bell, it actually melted as quickly as the ice and snow exposed to the sun, and continued to spread, and soon spread to this courtyard.

Almost in the blink of an eye.

The "truth" that the Taoist priest glimpsed disappeared, and the dirty and dilapidated courtyard in his left eye became a pure Taoist temple in his right eye.

I felt a sigh in my heart, and I had some bad premonitions.

He had always been bold.

Simply dragged the monster passing by and pretended to be in a hurry.

"It's all over the morning eclipse, what is the morning bell ringing? Could it be that something is going on?"

The monster that was caught was still hideous one second, and the next second it became a humble and polite young Taoist.

"Don't panic, auntie, that's not the morning bell. The real person has been fasting for several days for this prayer, and it is time to leave the customs at this hour, and the bell is a reminder to prepare for Jiao. ”

Fasting?

What about the fool?!

Li Changan asked again, but he heard a "poof" sound, and Yu Mei next to him somehow fell to the ground, and the head of the Tai Sui demon clone in his hand fell, rolled to the feet of the Taoist priest, and turned into a white pig's head.

"How ......"

Before he opened his mouth, his eyes were dark, and his thoughts came out.

............

At the same time.

"What's wrong?"

Somewhere in the barren forest outside the Water Moon View.

Li Changan jumped up, tore off the yellow talisman on his forehead, and pressed his sword to be vigilant around him.

Pity.

The object of his inquiry, Yu Mei, was still sitting in the forest, holding the yellow talisman on his head, looking like he was in a trance.

As you can see.

It was not the real bodies of the two who mixed into the Water Moon Observatory.

Instead, he used a spell called "Soul Parasition", which can possess divine thoughts and turn others into puppets.

This kind of weird spell that can be called the left way, according to the setting of Yu Mei's "Suppression Division Secret Agent", should not have been. But she got rid of the influence of the illusion, realized the past, and was one of the hubs of the illusion, and she could be regarded as an incarnation of Yu Zhenren, so she gained some legacy and gained some new skills.

It's just that I didn't think about it, as soon as the new spell was used, it unfortunately collapsed and sank into the sand.

She looked a little shocked, and it took a long time before she responded:

"My spell is erased. ”

"We've been discovered?"

The Taoist priest thought for a while, and realized that he didn't show any feet.

But now is not the time to be entangled, this place is too close to Shuiyueguan, and it is inevitable that it will be wrapped in dumplings, so you have to run away quickly.

Considers.

Yu Mei shook his head.

"No, it's erased. ”

There is a deep meaning in Yu Mei's words, but Li Changan really doesn't know why.

Fortunately, the god of wine transmitted the sound at this time:

"Yu Mei means that this phantom butterfly has become a climate. ”

He explained it to the Taoist priest in detail.

Everything in the illusion, whether it is the clouds in the sky, the forests in the mountains, the houses in the city, or the appearance and memory of the people, and even the spells used by Feng Chong, Yu Mei and others, are actually all illusions, and whether they exist or not are only in the thoughts of the owner of the illusion.

Fang Cai Yu Mei said that his spell was not broken, but erased, which meant that after the bell, the "Soul Parasitic Technique" was regarded as a mistake that should not exist, and it was directly corrected by the illusion.

At the beginning, when Li Changan and Yu Mei were fighting, they used the talisman obtained from Feng Chong many times, but Yu Mei couldn't erase it, but now, Baihuan Butterfly has inadvertently done this.

This shows that Phantom Butterfly has surpassed Yu Mei, the manager, and truly controls the Phantom Realm.

At least, within the confines of the Water Moon View.

This is terrible news.

The Taoist priest's plan was originally based on the fact that Phantom Butterfly did not completely control the illusion, but now, the space for the plan to be displayed has become more and more narrow, and the key Tai Sui Demon has also fallen into the hands of Phantom Butterfly.

The situation is more and more tricky, I really want to pick a child and go north to the Central Plains, and ask for help from the Zhenfu Division or the Zhengyi Sect, the Lushan School and other major cultivation factions.

Of course, in this chaotic world, whether people have the spare strength to come to this barren mountain and wilderness to kill demons and demons has to be said separately.

Li Changan is pinching his teeth.

The god of wine in his ear: "Taoist priest, quickly persuade this child." ”

Stunned, he looked up.

Yu's eyebrows are like ice, and the corners of his eyes are sinister, and he wants to go to the mountain.

The Taoist priest asked her.

"What do you do?"

Yu Mei: "Rob people!"

"Who?"

"Tai Sui Demon?"

"There are phantom butterflies, and it is difficult to distinguish between the shemales in the Water Moon View, that is, the Tai Sui Demon is in front of you, how can you tell the difference?"

"Then kill the Phantom Butterfly!"

"The phantom butterfly climate has been completed, and there are many minions, just by you and me, I'm afraid there will be no return. ”

Bacchus also chimed in at the right time.

"You can kill the Phantom Butterfly. It has replaced Yu Mei as the hub to maintain the illusion, and when the illusion is shattered, how can these tens of thousands of demons be cleaned up?"

Of course, there is also a perfect solution, which is to control the Phantom Butterfly and let it help maintain the illusion, and at the same time use the Tai Sui Demon to kill the monsters in the city. It's just that if a few people have this ability, why waste their lips and tongues here?

All in all, the Taoist priest and the god of wine finally calmed down the concerned Yu Mei with a word from me.

"And what should I do?"

Yu frowned and looked at the mountain.

The view of the water and moon in the distance is in stark contrast to the mottled dark mountain forest in front of you.

"Seeing the Phantom Butterfly occupy the Illusion Realm and tarnish the efforts of real people?"

Li Changan was also helpless, and after thinking about it for a long time, he really couldn't find any better way.

"For today's plan, I can only try to see if I can lure the phantom butterfly out of the Water Moon Temple, and then take the opportunity to steal out the Tai Sui Demon. ”

"How?"

"Go as planned. ”

The mountain breeze is blowing.

Li Changan overlooked Xiaoshui City, which was half-hidden in the morning mist.

"Kill. ”
