The night was shrouded, and the sky was dark and gloomy.

The mountains are stacked on top of each other, the leaves are falling one after another, there are fierce birds and beasts lurking here, making the sound of rustling and rubbing the leaves, and from time to time there is a screaming sound of piercing the clouds and cracking stones, which makes this place even more mysterious.

"Da" "Da" ......

Some messy footsteps sounded, and the steps were heavy.

A small figure walked in the forest in a dejected state, with big black eyes and a blank look.

Her eyes were red, the tears on her face had not yet dried, and her steps were vain and she stumbled.

"Where do I go next?"

Xie Qingci muttered, looking into the distance a little distractedly.

A cold wind blew, she felt cold inexplicably, and her hands wrapped her clothes tightly.

Xiao Ling led her to a hidden cave, where Xie Qingci lit the fire and curled up in the haystack, quietly looking at the sky.

Outside, lightning and thunder roared, thick clouds were dense, and the sky began to rain.

"Tick"

"Wow"

The sound of the rain grew louder and louder, and the small droplets of water that had been only a few of them became denser as time went on, and the water vapor became wet, and the rain and fog blurred the night, making her feel even more lonely.

The warm light of the fire was like a lamp, illuminating the entire stone cave, and Xiao Ling was buried in her hair, silent.

Xie Qingci curled up on the grass and buried his head in his knees.

After a while, she raised her head, her eyes still had residual moisture, she calmed down, wiped her eyes, and remembered the wooden hairpin that Xie Yu left her at the end.

Xie Qingci stretched out his hand, plucked the black wooden hairpin left by Xie Yu from his sideburns, held it in his hand, looked at it attentively, and looked at it carefully.

The appearance of the wooden hairpin looks very simple, and the black wood body carves a delicate plum, which is delicate and silky to the touch, but there is no spiritual power fluctuation, just like a mortal vessel, except for the exquisite and chic, there is nothing special.

She stroked the hairpin a little distractedly.

"Mother...... Have you thought about it all a long time ago?"

This hairpin seems to have recognized her as the master for a long time, and it didn't take much effort for her to probe her divine sense into the hairpin.

This storage space is not large, but it is not small.

She swept over at a glance, there is a bunch of shiny stones in the black wooden hairpin, it should be the spirit stone; there is a purple jade plate, look carefully, this jade card is bright, the texture is exquisite, a blood-red manzhu shahua pattern is imprinted on it, lifelike, the jade card is engraved with the word "Xie Wei" with seal inscription, it should be the identity jade card that the mother said; there are a bunch of strange spirit runes, a bunch of books, and a book.

Xie Qingci's hand tightened, it was her mother's words.

-

Ah Ci:

By the time you see this book, I'm sure I'm gone. My mother knows that time is running out, so I can only leave these things for you in a hurry.

Niang has tested your spiritual root, you are a wood spiritual root, excellent qualifications.

At the age of two, my mother began to pay attention to training your body, teaching you to read and write, you must be familiar with the basic methods, practice diligently every day, and never slack off.

Niang used to be a Yuan Infant Demon King, and there was also a time when the storage ring was snatched, but Niang still left some spirit stones, these spirit stones are already very rich for the Qi cultivation period monks, and the husband is not guilty of his crimes, and he must not reveal anything about this hairpin to anyone.

If you are in trouble, you can go to the Wudao Demon Sect to find a person named Zong Sheng, who is the most trusted person by his mother.

Remember, I am worthy of my heart, my mother only hopes that you will live well.

Mother stays

-

Xie Qingci read everything quietly, and his hand holding the letter trembled slightly.

Mother...... Did you know your time was running out?

Sure enough, my mother had already thought about everything.

However, my mother forgot her.

......

Cultivating the Tao, or cultivating demons?

These are two very different paths.

The firelight shone on Xie Qingci's face, her eyes were gloomy, she looked at the two exercises in front of her and pondered for a long time, and finally made a decision.

Her small hand gently caressed the writing, and the hesitation in her eyes faded into a look of determination.

What about the right path, what about the demonic path? The paths are different, but the purpose is the same, so why should the cultivation of demons be discriminated against?

She just wants to live the most beautiful life!

Xie Qingci touched the wooden hairpin, thinking with some sadness, her mother will support her, right?

---

The night passed quickly.

In the early morning, after a night of rain, the water vapor was steaming, which was quite cool.

Xie Qingci came to the stream, briefly freshened up by the water, and changed into a boy's outfit.

She looked at the reflection in the water and whispered to the people inside:

"Let's go. ”

The girl's face reflected in the water is still immature, but the innocence in her eyes is gone.

Her face was pale, her peach blossom eyes were slightly narrowed, and she had a bit of anger that did not match her age.

Xie Qingci blinked, and changed into an innocent appearance that didn't understand the world. She grabbed a handful of dirt to cover her face, crumpled her clothes, and dressed up as a dirt child.

Xiao Ling lay on her stomach in her hair to gather the light, and her whole body was wrapped into a silver-white bead, quietly like a decoration.

Since she has decided to become a demon cultivator, she naturally wants to go to the territory of demon cultivation, to go to the demon sect where her mother once stayed, and to find her master Zongsheng.

Lizhou, also known as Mozhou, is on the south side of the mainland.

She made her way south.

According to the records in the book, although Xunzhou, where she is now located, is adjacent to Lizhou, the interstate distance is not small, fortunately, Yecheng, where the Meng family is located, is close to the border between the two states, otherwise, in this unimaginably huge continent, mortals may not be able to walk through two states in a lifetime.

Xie Qingci bought a donkey and hurried day and night.

She is young, her cultivation is shallow, her clothes are not very special, and her whole person is dirty and dirty. Along the way, although some people threw curious eyes at her from time to time, they were also calm and did not cause much trouble.

When we arrived in Yecheng, it was evening.

She washed the dirt off her face, changed into a set of clean clothes, and went into the city.

Yecheng is a small city, but it occupies a good location, at the junction of the three major states, and many people stop here on weekdays, so it is very prosperous.

Xie Qingci paid the spirit stone to the guards guarding the door, but the guards didn't let her leave, motioning for her to put her hand on a piece of jade.

Xie Qingci was a little puzzled in his heart, but he still did it, and then got a piece of white jade.

The guards motioned for her to enter the city.

She looked at the others, and hung the white jade on her waist like others.

The first time she went out, it was also the first time she left Qingyou Pavilion, and she only knew from books to the outside world, and only now did she know that she had to enter the city to enter the city.

After finding an inn and settling the donkey, she walked slowly into the inn.

There were a lot of people in the inn, bustling, and many of the guests who were eating seemed to be such a young child, or alone, and they all raised their heads to look at her.

The shopkeeper asked very kindly:

"What does the little Taoist need?"

Xie Qingci smiled, his expression innocent and cute:

"Three upper rooms, one bowl of noodles. ”

After speaking, she couldn't help but say to herself: "I don't know when my father and brothers will catch up with me......"

Her voice was not loud, but the monk was deaf and clear-sighted, and he could hear it clearly, and suddenly Xie Qingci felt that the gaze cast on her was less than half.

The hot noodles were served quickly.

Xie Qingci sat on the seat with a small bench, silently bowing his head and eating noodles, while pricking up his ears to inquire about the news.

The guests at the next table were chatting enthusiastically.

"Hey, have you heard, the Shushan Sword Sect recently opened the mountain to accept apprentices, in my opinion, the sword cultivation is the most powerful existence, I don't know how many little monsters will pop up this time. ”

"I don't know about this monster of the Shushan Sword Sect, but I really know one of the geniuses. ...... My second uncle, who was on an errand in the Mo family, said that the Mo family had a water system heavenly spirit root, which was really a little ancestor, and the entire Mo family really offered her like a baby. ”

“......”

“...... Speaking of beauties, Tang Tianyi, the third master of Duobaolou, is a good Yanfu, I don't know how many confidants there are around him, and Lao Tzu still doesn't have a daughter-in-law. ”

"Come on, don't be jealous of others, you don't have the strength, the financial resources and the power, which female cultivator is blind and looks down on you......"

"You!"

"What's the noise! No one has a daughter-in-law!"

"I heard that Miss Zhou recently gave birth to a daughter. ”

“......”

Xie Qingci lowered his head and sucked his face silently, but did not speak.

It is human nature to like gossip, and monks are certainly no exception.

Although the low-level cultivators were weak, they accounted for the vast majority of the cultivators in the entire Immortal Cultivation Realm, and the interpersonal relationships among them were intricate, and the flow of information between them was fast, which should not be underestimated. And this table is a good place to listen to the news.

She listened expressionlessly, that woman gave birth to a daughter, he should be very happy, after all, they are a legitimate family in the eyes of outsiders, the right family, talented and beautiful.

Ironically, she lost her loved ones, what a stark contrast of joy and sorrow.

"I'll make you regret it. ”

She lowered her head, her eyes filled with hidden hatred.

The chatter suddenly subsided, and the surroundings gradually became quiet.

Xie Qingci was a little surprised, and when he looked up, he saw a group of veiled beautiful girls walking towards her with graceful steps.

Who are they?

They are all about twenty-eight years old, just the age of beauty, the fluttering white veil gently covers the small face, and the beauty only reveals a pair of beautiful eyes like water, delicate eyebrows, so it looks picturesque, the bearing is clear and elegant, and it looks mysterious and elegant.

They are all dressed in white, floating like a fairy of the Nine Heavens, pure as a beautiful white lotus that is independent in the world.

The most eye-catching thing is that on their chests, there is a double-petaled hibiscus pattern embroidered with pink silk thread, which is lifelike and contains aura, which is the sect emblem of the Heavenly Rank Sect Yaochi.

Being watched by everyone, the girl led by her was not unnatural at all, she walked to the shopkeeper and bowed her head and asked:

"Fellow Daoist, do you have a room?"

The shopkeeper saw the girl approaching, and the faint fragrance brushed the tip of his nose, and he couldn't help but feel a little cramped, and lowered his head to reply to her: "Yes, does the fairy need to go to the room?"

The girl nodded.

"Fellow Daoist, come to the ten upper rooms, please prepare tea and hot water. ”

The girl's voice is as crisp and beautiful as a warbler, as if the fairy sound is faint, but the sound is intoxicating.

Today, there are three worlds of people, demons, and ghosts in the world of cultivating immortals. Since the demon race was repelled hundreds of thousands of years ago, the demon world and the ghost world were heavily damaged, and the human race has developed and grown by taking advantage of the trend, and now it is now the most powerful force in the entire immortal cultivation world.

There are also different factions within the human race, usually divided into the righteous path and the demon path, among which the righteous path is more powerful. The righteous path has seven heavenly level sects, also known as the seven holy places, namely Kunlun Sect, Shushan Sword Sect, Xuanxiao Gate, Yaochi, Sangming Palace, Jixia School Palace, and Da Lei Yin Temple, these sects are all top forces that have been inherited for thousands of years, and they belong to the war sect.

There are also five auxiliary forces opposite to it, namely Xinglin, Tianji Pavilion, Duobaolou, Royal Beast Gate, and Fu Weapon Alliance, corresponding to the five aspects of medicine, divination, wealth, beasts, and weapons, although the combat power is not strong, but almost no one dares to provoke, because there are countless forces behind them, and they affect the whole body.

The girl headed by Yao Chi has an extraordinary temperament, dignified and elegant, and a delicate figure, and she is a great beauty at first glance.

After they ordered ten upper rooms, they walked upstairs without squinting, and their bodies were as beautiful as the willows, light and moving, which made people can't help but sway.

The scene was quiet for a while, and it was not until they were far away that there was a sound of discussion.

"What a beautiful ......"

"It's worthy of Yaochi, it's really beautiful. ”

The people at the table next to Xie Qingci saw that the beauties in Yaochi had walked away, their eyes were still a little reluctant, and they opened their mouths to praise:

"Yaochi is worthy of being a holy place, and the women who come and go are also so beautiful, I really want to lift their veils to see their faces, then I will die without regrets. ”

The person next to him couldn't help but sneer when he heard this.

"Come on, don't you know the rules of Yaochi, except for the senior sisters of this sect, only Taoist couples are qualified to take off the veil, you think of beauty. ”

"Who's the woman in charge?"

"Looking at the bearing, coupled with the cultivation of the Great Perfection of Qi Cultivation, isn't it the one who has recently become famous, the personal disciple of Zixia Zhenzun, the fairy Jade Flawless who is known as 'Jade Shengyan'?"

"By the way, how could the people from Yaochi come here?"

"What's going on here?"

Xie Qingci listened silently, cautious in his heart.

Yao Chi is here, and it is better for her to avoid it as a demon cultivator, and not to cause trouble.

It is not advisable to stay here for long, and she will have to leave tomorrow.

In order to pretend, she booked three upper rooms in a row, but in fact, she could only live in one.

Walking into the room, Xie Qingci immediately took out a seal from the storage bag and pasted it on the door.

After feeling that there was no problem, she sat on the bed and meditated.

Night is falling.

Xie Qingci sat on the bed, maintaining a cross-legged movement, meticulously cultivating.

The surroundings are quiet, eerily quiet. She didn't notice that a tube crept into her room through the window paper, and after a while a wisp of colorless smoke followed the tube into the room.

As soon as she was a cup of tea, she felt that her body suddenly couldn't move, her eyes were black, and her eyes couldn't help but close.

"Oops, hit the ......"

Xie Qingci fell softly on the bed, trying to struggle, but he didn't hold on for long before he couldn't control it and fainted.

A pair of big hands hugged Xie Qingci's petite body and fled in the moonlight.

There was a rustle outside the window, and there was silence inside the house.
