Chapter 185: Seeing the Light of Day Again
As a piece of dry wood was thrown, the golden bonfire rushed up, swallowing the fuel and burning happily again.
These cultivators don't actually need to rely on a bonfire for warmth, so the effect of this fire is most likely to be used to drive away wild beasts and fear in their hearts.
The disciples who had been tired for a day either lay on their luggage or fell asleep directly on the soft hay, and this sleep fell asleep.
Even Elder Peng sat leaning against the tree, taking a nap while coaxing his grandson.
If you are sleepy, you can recover your strength as long as you rest, but if you are hungry, it will not be so easy to solve, but fortunately, most of the disciples here have cultivated the technique of opening the valley when they were in the underground world, otherwise with the current situation of everyone, there is a shortage of food, and the only oasis in this desert is really difficult to solve.
The night was dark, everyone had already rested, only Luo Xin was still preoccupied, and he added firewood to the fire without a ride.
Not long ago, the expected exit was finally reached after two more hours, but there were some twists and turns.
At that time, if the previous ascent had been followed, the height would have been able to reach the surface, but the people who built the passage may have dug the tunnel parallel halfway up the way for some reason.
They didn't know how far they had gone, until the road began to go up again, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
As they went out, they were greeted by starlight, a magnificent sight that made everyone whisper in amazement, and secretly expressed their joy, and no one dared to get carried away, because they knew that this was only the first step.
The place where the exit was located was in a unique location, just on the edge of the oasis, but this was not what Bai Ye had seen when they came here before, but had done a lot of man-made treatment.
The haphazard trees had been clearly repaired, and there was a large amount of hay and firewood piled up not far away, all of which had been taken directly from the oasis, and combined with the characteristics of the road, it is not difficult to see that the builders had chosen this location for the exit after sufficient consideration.
These easily storable resources allow them to wait.
Even if those fusion demon beasts have been taken away by the three ghosts, the disciples have lived here for too long, even if the source has been removed, there is still some demonic energy left on their bodies, but fortunately, the three ghosts have already arranged for this.
After all, it was not a way to do anything with so many people, so Elder Peng divided the disciples present into groups according to the previous branch of the Lan Yan Sect, and then took the group as a unit, and everyone went to collect hay and firewood separately, and scattered in this open space to rest.
After the disciples have cultivated a little, they have to cultivate according to the method of eliminating demonic qi left by the three ghosts.
This is not a very advanced exercise, and the effect it can have is very limited, for example, the effect on the demonic energy on the wound is minimal, but it can still be used to remove the demonic qi floating on the surface of the body for a short time.
As long as the demonic energy on the surface of the body is removed, it means that they have obtained the qualification to be able to act outside, and they can escape the eyes of decency!
But the demonic qi on these disciples is not simple, they live in such an environment all the year round, and the influence of demonic qi has been deeply rooted in the heart, so the effect of these measures is limited, which also means that they will have to cultivate once every day for the next day.
However, everyone is still very confident that this method is left to them by the three ghosts, as long as they keep practicing, they will one day be able to dissolve the demonic energy in their bodies, and at that time, as long as they don't expose anything, they can change their faces and live with a new identity...
The hay and firewood had been distributed, and the amount was only enough for everyone to use for one night, and there had always been sporadic righteous people patrolling the area, and it was impossible for the three ghosts to leave too many traces here.
But it was impossible for the three ghosts to let their sect's disciples sleep in the open after they came out, so he had already chosen a hidden place that could temporarily provide them with a place to live.
After daybreak, it was time for everyone to set out again.
The fire in front of him crackled, and Liu Qingmian was throwing dry leaves into it one by one.
Luo Xin had explored the surroundings before, but he had not found any trace of other cultivators, so the disciples could now rely on their body protection to keep out the cold, otherwise there was a high probability that the firewood in this place would be enough for them to burn.
After burning the handful of dead leaves in her hand, Liu Qingmian still slowly turned into embers from the fire, she stood up and patted the ashes on her legs, and then found the nearest hundred-year-old tree, and climbed up one by one.
With her hands on her pillow, Liu Qingmian stared blankly at the stars in the sky, such nights always reminded her of the days when she was alone that year.
In fact, although it has not been long since then, the strange thing is that since her life returned to normal, the impression of that time in her mind has become more and more blurred, as if everything is a memory of the previous life.
"Sleep. ”
I don't know how long it took, Bai Ye came over at some point, standing under the tree and calling her.
Liu Qingmian didn't want to pay attention to it, but there was a person standing next to him, and that person made her have to pay attention.
It's Luo Xin.
————————
"Brother Luo is really clever, if I had been replaced, I am afraid that there would have been no master of the six gods at that time!"
Bai Ye said exaggeratedly, sitting cross-legged on the ground in a proper posture, and Liu Qingmian's least favorite thing was to sit cross-legged, but at this time she was forced to be helpless, so she could only sit cross-legged on the hay with the two of them.
"Brother Bai is serious, when I came out occasionally a few years ago, your name was like thunder, and in the future, we will have to rely on Brother Bai's snort to go out and mingle!" Luo Xin smiled, and the beard on his face parted to both sides with a smile.
The business blowing between the two continues, Liu Qingmian seems to have re-acquainted them all, is this still the two people who fought against each other before?
Although this attitude change is a little faster, in fact, Luo Xin has already resolved the misunderstanding with them a long time ago, and what he said about 'relying on' Bai Ye is actually not an exaggeration at all.
After a few polite words, Bai Ye changed his words and asked: "Senior Brother Luo, today's evacuation can be said to be more than half of the success, I think the Three Ghost Lord will also be very pleased, but I won't tell you, my deal with him has come to this point, and the next thing is up to you!"
Luo Xin understands that this is the highlight of the conversation between the two!
But before that, he glanced at Liu Qingmian.
The meaning of his glance was obvious, he was waiting for Bai Ye's attitude to judge whether Liu Qingmian needed to avoid it at this time.
The answer was no, because Bai Ye gestured to him with a 'please' gesture.
Luo Xin knew in his heart that the next conversation was very important, and those who could be present seemed to be his own people.
After thinking for a while, he carefully said: "Senior Brother Bai, I won't tell you anything about it, although we have a place to go next, I have been there before, there are some dilapidated houses, and I don't know who abandoned the residence, which is very unsafe." ”
"Yes, it's not safe in the wilderness, especially since you have some women and children with you. ”
Luo Xin suddenly fidgeted, "There are hundreds of disciples here, everyone's ambitions after they come out must be different, some people want to start living an ordinary life, while some still want to cultivate the truth and pursue the path of truth... However, I am afraid that we will not dare to pass on the exercises of the Lan Yan Sect again!"
Bai Ye nodded in agreement: "Yes, those righteous mad dogs have been biting you, their hunting methods are not just demonic qi, and your Lan Flame Sect is not unable to continue, but I am afraid that this signature heart burning fire can no longer be used." ”
"But there's no Burning Heart Fire, this Lan Flame Sect..." The latter words were swallowed back into Luo Xin's stomach, but everyone could actually understand it.
The Lan Yan Sect was originally a new sect, and before it suddenly rose by relying on that 'fusion evil art', there was only one person in the entire sect who could handle it.
That heart-burning fire is a first-class exercise, but throughout the ages, even the patriarch of the Kai faction can only exert sixty percent of the strength of that exercise, and only after the three ghosts will it be carried forward, and it is officially regarded as a high-level cultivation exercise.
Fifty years have passed, and the current way of the world is to advocate peace, and there have been new discussions between the righteous ways regarding the events of that year.
The remaining remnants, as long as they no longer have the breath of the fused demon beast on their bodies, and no longer use the strongest heart-burning fire of the sect, the righteous people will turn a blind eye to this matter.
"To put it so high-soundingly, isn't this tantamount to making you cut off your own arms in disguise?" Liu Qingmian couldn't help but ask.
"Isn't that it? This righteous old thief pretends to be a hypocrite who doesn't want to kill, and all they do is to kill them all!"
Luo Xin finished speaking indignantly, but saw that Bai Ye did not react, although he was not good at words, he could only bite the bullet.
And Liu Qingmian was a bystander, she felt that the two of them might want to go together, otherwise why would the senior brother be called?
"Senior Brother Bai..."
Bai Ye suddenly raised his hand at this time, preventing Luo Xin from continuing.
He leaned forward and lowered his voice: "Senior Brother Luo, I understand, you don't need to say more! Although the agreement between me and the Three Ghosts has been completed, I have met you at first sight this time, and now I see that you are in trouble, and I will definitely lend a hand!"
"Senior Brother Bai... W, what's so embarrassing?"
"Senior brother is polite! Since I said that I want to help you, I will definitely do my best, but you also know that I believe in you, but there are so many disciples here, I can't trust them. ”
"I understand..."
In order to alleviate the sudden solemn atmosphere, Liu Qingmian went to look around just now, picked up some dry firewood that leaked on the ground, and rekindled the fire that was about to be extinguished.
Bai Ye stared at the firelight, the golden red flames beating in his eyes, covering the emotions in his eyes, making it impossible to see his thoughts.
After a long time, as if after a difficult thought, he finally spoke.
"I have to be responsible for the disciples of my sect first, so let's do it, the disciples in the Lan Yan Sect who still want to continue cultivating, I can take them in, but I need to place them in another place first, until I remove the Burning Heart Fire in their bodies, and then they can officially enter the Ten Thousand Hells Cave! Senior Brother Luo, they may accept this method?"
Bai Ye directly acquiesced that Luo Xin could accept this proposal, because he had no choice.
Without the three ghosts, Luo Xin, as the current decision-maker, has much more to consider than the disciples below.
It is true that the Burning Heart Fire may only exert one or two percent of the power on those junior disciples, and it is not enough to be afraid at all, but it is the shackles that the righteous path puts on them, and if they want to continue to live, then they have to give it up.
However, the other party chose to burn his heart, and Luo Xin was actually very happy in his heart.
It was because the three ghosts carried forward this exercise and left too deep an impression on the decency, otherwise the rules they set would probably be even more stringent.
