"I ......" Zhu Lihou frowned remorsefully, walked around anxiously, and asked, "Then what do you say, I can't apologize with death, right?"

Lan Xianyu shook his head and said, "I will block the news, as for whether Ji Ren is dead or alive, you can ask God to bless me, I'm leaving." With that, he turned and walked out.

Zhu Lihou said anxiously: "Hey, you can't talk about righteousness at this time, so help me think of a way!"

Lan Xianyu said: "I have no choice, I also have to think about how to face them." ”

Zhu Lihou looked at the distant back in a daze, and his heart was extremely anxious and tormented.

"I regret it now...... It's still too late. ”

......

......

In this month, those who were sent to worship took less than half a month to come here.

Immediately afterwards, they searched for seven days and seven nights, from the pine heat of the land to the complete coldness.

They were like heaven and earth, frantically looking for any trace of breath and objects related to Ji Ren.

Or even what kind of spirit rats, spirit ants, and spirit insects...... All the spirit beasts that could be used by these raised spirit beasts were used, and even the molten slurry that had not yet completely solidified was turned over.

It stands to reason that this is impossible not to find.

Why, because of the remains of the Prayer Demon Beast, they found it on the first day, in the molten lava that was extremely close to the rift in the earth.

These ten worshippers looked at the big broken bones that would break when they were pinched, and you looked at me, and I looked at you.

"These are the bones of demon beasts. ”

"Nonsense, what kind of monster?"

"I don't know, it doesn't look like an ordinary demon beast. ”

"What the are you...... If this was the remains of an ordinary demon beast, Ji Feng would have returned to the academy a long time ago. ”

"The only breath left on it is strange, I've never seen it before. ”

"I have. ”

“......”

The people in front said they didn't know, and the people in the back all shook their heads and said no.

The ten people reluctantly invited Qi Yejie and Ju Hongtao to ask them if they knew what was going on.

When the two of them arrived, they were even more stunned in an instant, and they saw with their own eyes that there was not a single demon beast in the space below.

Ten worshippers listened to it, and after finishing the calves, they couldn't fix it.

In the field of exploration that they are good at, they have never seen a demon beast with this kind of aura at all.

The twelve people stayed together for half a day, but there was no result, so they had to leave together and go back to the academy first.

Soon after they left, the silence began to reveal a hint of life.

Thump...... Thump......

A corpse about the same color as dark red molten slurry faded to its original charred color.

"Don't bother him, let him wake up on his own. ”

Xian Lingzi appeared to the side, looked at Ji Ren's dilapidated wreckage and said.

......

......

It took less than half a month for the twelve people to return to the Inner Courtyard Labor Hall, and they all bowed their hands to Elder Zhu Lihou.

Immediately, one person recounted the entire search process.

When the man finished speaking, in the empty labor hall, Zhu Lihou waved his hand like ashes.

They turned and ran away in an instant, but they didn't want to stay here and find someone to blame.

"Can't find, can't find, can't find ......"

Zhu Lihou looked up at the beam of the hall hopelessly, and sighed, "Alas...... It's as if the picture I just met was yesterday, why the hell did I make this decision? ”

Soon after, the news spread.

Although Lan Yanyu really blocked the news, there were still many disciples who were secretly discussing this matter.

Some of the disciples who went to the Labor Hall to pick up the task would unconsciously glance at Zhu Lihou.

Although Zhu Lihou still slept on the table, his heart was very tormented.

Even, he wanted to ask the dean why he was not punished.

But this kind of thing, there will be mistakes, and if he is punished in this way, then there will be a lot of gossip outside the academy.

......

Soon, it all came together, and the year passed like this

Finish.

Zhu Lihou spent every day half-asleep and half-awake, and all the tasks were handed over to his subordinates to do.

In this year, the most tormenting ...... It was none other than Nangong Ji who brought Ji Fan to inquire about Ji Ren's whereabouts.

Although Zhu Lihou had never seen Ji Ren's son, he could still guess who was coming.

He couldn't tell Ji Ren's situation, and he didn't even dare to look at each other.

In the end, Nangong Ji and Ji Fan were invited back by Lan Yanyu, saying that Ji Ren couldn't come back so soon because of some things, and they might have to wait for a while.

Ji Fan believed it, but Nangong Ji noticed it, and he knew that something must have happened to Ji Ren.

So, he asked secretly, and Lan Xianyu couldn't refuse to tell the truth.

After Nangong Ji listened, his expression did not change in the slightest, and he took Ji Fan back happily as usual.

But the more Lan Xianyu looked at it, the more upset he became, and Zhu Lihou became even more upset when he watched it.

......

"Do you have all the stuff?"

"Bring it all, don't worry. ”

"What the Nine Demon Venerable commanded, who would dare to do it without care. ”

The three demon cultivators quietly appeared in the barren wasteland, stepping on this still somewhat gray and cracked land.

Each of them has a rattle in their hands, their left hand and fingers on their chest, and they have words in their mouths, and they ring the bell from time to time.

There is a way, there is a demon, the way is not a way, the devil is not a demon, today there is a demon lord to ask for the law, please Ji Ren appear quickly!

Dingding————

After repeating it several times, the three of them waited quietly for a quarter of an hour.

After a quarter of an hour, nothing changed.

The three of them looked at each other and decided to do it again.

As a result, the result is still the same.

The three of them are stupid, this secret technique of inviting demons was taught by the Nine Demon Venerable himself, why doesn't it work.

This set of magic secret techniques is only useful for souls who have practiced the demon path, because Ji Ren has displayed demonic energy, so it is natural that he is a member of the demon.

They hesitated, and decided to ask for another demon.

Unexpectedly, I was invited as soon as I was invited.

Since this is the case, they think that Ji Ren must have been lost in the human world, so they insist on inviting it a few more times.

After repeating this seven times, the three of them felt strange, so they released their senses to investigate.

The result, of course, is ...... There was nothing, but I was surprised to find that there were good things that were being cultivated underground.

So what to do, let's go back and make a report first.

In this way, the thick anger underneath began to rise again.

I haven't seen him for a long time, and Ji Ren's body has cracked a lot.

However, a trace of immature skin can be vaguely seen inside, and the surrounding aura is continuously absorbed, and the aura of the nearby heaven and earth is secretly gathered.

"Okay, it's mostly grown, and you'll wake up soon. ”

Xian Lingzi yawned, appeared to the side and looked at it, and went back after saying a word.

......

......

A wave of power quietly dissipated, but then quickly faded.

The door of the ashram slowly opened, and a word came from inside.

"Sister Innocence, help me get some water, I want to wash my body. ”

The innocent joy that had not yet eased his mind answered the call and went to fetch a large basin and filled it with water.

Qingbai said happily: "Yu Ling, I'll go out and wait for you first." When he had finished speaking, he turned and went out, closed all the doors except the ashram, and stood guard in front of the room.

Nangong Ji outside the house lowered his head slightly and said, "Good grandson, wait a minute, you remember to tell your mother that your father went out on a mission, and he can't come back so soon for the time being, you know?"

Ji Fan, who was standing on the side, immediately finished his work, walked in front of Nangong Ji, and said, "Grandpa, why hasn't Dad come back for so long?!"

Nangong Ji stood up with a smile, looked at the little guy who reached his chest, and said with emotion: "Blink, you are about to be taller than grandpa, if your father comes back and sees you like this, he will definitely be shocked." ”

Ji Fan was slightly stunned and asked, "Grandpa, am I really weird?"

Nangong Ji shook his head and smiled: "Of course it's not strange, people are different,

How can you think so, what's more, your father is so extraordinary, you follow a little different, that's not normal. ”

Ji Fan nodded as if he didn't understand, and said happily: "Well, then Fan'er will wait for her mother to come out!"

Qingqing smiled innocently: "Fan'er, do you want to be as strong as your father in the future?"

Ji Fan turned his head and smiled at Qingqing, and said happily: "Well, Fan'er also has to be like his father, he must become very strong and strong, and then, protect his family." ”

Qingbai beckoned and said, "Then you come over for a while." ”

Ji Fan immediately ran over and said, "I'm here, Aunt Qing." ”

Qingbai bent down and pinched his face, and said with a smile: "Wait a while, you must not tell your mother that Aunt Qing has taken care of you, you know?"

Huh!?

Ji Fan scratched his head in confusion and asked, "Why, Aunt Qing." ”

Qingqing smiled: "Because...... Aunt Qing wants your mother to know that you can take good care of yourself. ”

Ji Fan thought for a while, nodded and said, "Okay, then Fan'er won't tell her mother about this." ”

Qingbai sandwiched Ji Fan's face between his palms and rubbed it: "It's so good!"

In fact, she just doesn't want others to know that she is learning to take care of children.

Rolling –

Suddenly, the door of the room slowly opened, and a light and soft woman in white walked out, looking at Ji Fan with a warm smile.

"Fan'er, during this period of retreat, you are still obedient. ”

Ji Fan's eyes widened instantly, and he said, "My mother has become beautiful again!"

Qingbai turned around and looked at it, and said in surprise: "It's really ......"

Gongsun Yuling looked at Nangong Ji with a smile and said, "Old man, thank you for your hard work." ”

Nangong Ji smiled and pointed to innocence, "She takes care of Ji Fan with all her heart, I don't worry too much." ”

Qingbai's face turned red, and he waved his hand and said, "No, no, Fan'er can take care of himself, it's none of my business." ”

Gongsun Yuling looked at Ji Fan, who had changed slightly, touched his head, pinched his face, and said with a smile: "Fan'er, is this the case?"

Ji Fan looked at Qingbai hesitantly, Qingyin shook his head slightly, and made a look.

Gongsun Yuling said: "Fan'er, don't lie to your mother, you know?"

Ji Fan was stunned for a moment and said, "Mother, Aunt Qing asked me to tell you." ”

Gongsun Yuling touched his head with a smile, "That's good, what about your father." ”

Ji Fan remembered and said, "Mother, my father went out on a mission, and my grandfather said that he didn't come back so soon." ”

Gongsun Yuling bowed his head and said, "Okay, your father went out on a mission, do you know why?"

Ji Fan scratched his head, shook his head and said, "I don't know." ”

Gongsun Yuling smiled and said, "Then let my mother tell you why, okay?"

Ji Fan said happily: "Okay, mother." ”

Gongsun Yuling smiled and took his hand, and said as he walked: "Your father is a man who cares about his family very much, what he wants most for our family is stability, and he likes the family to be safe and stable the most, so that he can do things with peace of mind outside." ”

Ji Fan asked ignorantly: "Mother, why does Dad like stability the most!?"

Gongsun Yuling opened the courtyard door and said, "Does that mortal know what stability is?"

Ji Fan shook his head and said, "Mother, Fan'er doesn't understand. ”

Nangong Ji glanced at innocence, turned around and followed, "Let's go for a walk together." ”

Qingbai was stunned, followed with a smile, and said, "Senior, when will Ji Ren come back." ”

Nangong Ji's back hand stiffened, and said, "I don't know, but it looks like it should take some time." ”

Gongsun Yuling smiled: "The so-called stability is the meaning of making people feel at ease and stable, your father is an adult and the head of the family, so the responsibility he shoulders is very heavy, and when you are older, you will understand." ”

Ji Fan firmly remembered it in his heart and said, "Mother, Fan'er understands. ”

Gongsun Yuling smiled at Ji Fan beside him, and couldn't help but sigh: "But in about a year, you have a mother's arm height." ”

Ji Fan said with a smile: "Mother, a few days ago, grandpa measured Fan'er's height, and grandpa said that there is...... Nearly four feet ...... That's a meter... Three, two, high. ”
