"The feelings of this world are like candles, illuminating you and warming you, but if a gust of wind blows, the candle will be extinguished, and when it is rekindled, you will find that when you are accustomed to the cold and darkness, you will no longer have the luxury of this fleeting kindness. ”

The wind blew in the dead woods, and the evil air raised bursts of black smoke that enveloped the entire valley, and the dark clouds of black and gray faded to block the light.

The Panxiao Continent, which was still shining with warm sun a second ago, instantly darkened at this moment, and the gale swept up the dead leaves on the ground, forming the appearance of skeletons, and slowly walked towards the weedy pile not far away.

Ah Xiao lay in the black smoke, her dim purple eyes were like purple glass covered with dust, staring at the air blankly, and the string moon that was gradually covered by dark clouds stubbornly revealed its sharp little horns.

In the corner of her eye, a tear slowly slid down, and Ah Xiao saw a face from the moon, a clean and sincere face, which was slowly being covered by dark clouds...... The corners of his mouth unconsciously raised, and gradually turned into a wry smile.

"Bai Yichen, I'm sorry. A thunderbolt flew from the dark clouds, Ah Xiao slowly closed her eyes, this moment should have come a long time ago, it should have come on the day Lu was dying, fate gave her the opportunity to live for so long, it was a mistake.

Three days later

The news of the Heavenly Fire in the Evil Valley has spread throughout the Panxiao Continent, and everyone says that this is the punishment of the evil evil from the heavens.

It's been a rare peace in the world for four years, but who knows, recently, somehow, disasters and disasters have happened everywhere. Either this family died inexplicably and tragically overnight, or the family of four went crazy and slashed people on the street with knives, or the big trees ate people, safflower sucked blood, and even the water they drank would fly out of the cup inexplicably, directly drowning the person who was going to drink water.

All in all, the Panxiao Continent has been in chaos for the past month, and people blame the Evil Valley for the occurrence of these disasters.

Evil Valley, as the name suggests, means the valley of evil, there are countless evil spirits gathered in the valley, and they will come out to make trouble every once in a while, it is precisely because of this that whenever there are strange things and evil things in various parts of the mainland, people will think of the valley for the first time.

Everyone said that the heavens couldn't see the evil things in the evil valley, so they sent heavenly fires to burn the entire valley, but things are obviously not so simple, the valley was destroyed, but the disasters did not stop, so there were too many incidents of chaos, and the major immortal cultivators had to pay attention to it.

In Kyoto's Ceyang, Chongguo, many disciples of the three major immortal cultivation sects gathered, each in groups, neatly patrolling the streets to investigate.

In the room of an inn, Ah Xiao lay quietly on the bed, her hands tightly clutched the bedding on both sides of her body, her eyebrows frowned slightly, her breathing was short, her teeth trembled, and she made a gurgling sound.

In the dream, she was standing on the clouds, the white clouds under her feet contrasted sharply with the color of the black clouds overhead, and the black overhead was oppressive, and the lightning flashing white light loomed in the clouds. Suddenly there was a thunder overhead, Ah Xiao looked up, and saw a blood-red lightning flying towards this side, she wanted to hide, but her body couldn't move.

"Ahh

The lightning gradually approached, Ah Xiao shouted in surprise, the voice did not stop, suddenly her feet hung in the air, her whole person fell uncontrollably, she no longer shouted, but hugged herself tightly, think about it carefully, why should she struggle again? All this, should have come a long time ago, as people say, she should have died.

The door to the room was gently pushed open, and a tall man entered, wearing a black hawk mask on his face, unable to see his appearance, the eagle wings on the mask spread out on either side, extending back to cover the hair on both sides of the head, and the hawk's beak covering the nose to the tip of the nose, revealing a small sharp downward sharp angle.

Under the mask, the cold and deep eyes exuded a mysterious strange light, the cold crimson thin lips did not show a trace of amplitude, and the unpredictable temperament made the air in the room seem to gradually freeze.

He closed the door, walked to the side of the bed and stood still, Ah Xiao felt someone approaching, instantly opened her eyes and sat up, the dream just now disappeared in her mind in an instant, she hid to the corner of the bed, and defended herself with her hands in a fighting posture.

After seeing the person standing beside the bed clearly, she looked at her in surprise and slowly withdrew her hand: "Ye Ying?"

Ye Ying still smiled, only nodded slightly, and said lightly, "You're back." ”

Ah Xiao looked down at her body, her hands and feet were still intact, and then she touched her face, there was temperature, she didn't die?

No one had ever escaped from the punishment of heaven, she did not resist, how could she be unharmed?

"You saved me?"

Ye Ying shook his head and said, "No." ”

"Then I'm ......" Ah Xiao said and slowly stopped, and a man's voice faintly came from his head:

If God is unfair to you, if someone is unfavorable to you, it doesn't matter, even if it turns into smoke, I will come from thousands of miles away to protect you!

Ah Xiao lowered her head, with tears in her eyes, and choked in a low voice: "Lu Lin......" Did he save her?

Hearing her mention the name 'Lu Lin', a trace of surprise flashed in Ye Ying's eyes: "Isn't he dead?" was also bruised and scattered, his bones were traceless, and his soul was scattered.

Yes, he died, but he never disappeared...... Ah Xiao turned her head to look at the window, and the wind blew in, blowing the wind chimes hanging on the window.

"He's dead, you're not dead. Ye Ying said lightly.

Ah Xiao only felt that a knife was stabbed into her heart, and she felt a faint pain, she got up and got out of bed, walked quickly to the window and closed the window, and inadvertently saw a group of purple-clothed disciples walking on the street, she only pretended not to see it, turned around and walked to the stool next to the round table and sat down.

Ye Ying walked across from her and sat down, put the sword in his hand on the table, and stared at the person opposite with a pale face. Ah Xiao glanced at the sword on the table lightly, poured a cup of tea and handed it to him, and poured another cup to drink for herself.

Ye Ying asked again: "Since you are not dead, where have you been in the past four years?"

"I don't know. Ah Xiao looked at the teacup in her hand, "Has it been four years?"

Seeing her answer so perfunctory, Ye Ying frowned slightly and was slightly dissatisfied, and was about to continue to say something, but was stopped by A Xiao's eyes, and she said in a deep voice: "Are you looking for me?"

Ye Ying paused, then nodded.

"Heh, what are you looking for me?" Although it was just a simple question, the tone was implied with self-deprecation, and everyone in the world was eager to cut her with a thousand knives, how could anyone still look for her.

Ye Ying heard the meaning of her words, lowered her eyes thoughtfully, and was silent for a long time, Ah Xiao saw that he didn't speak, so she got up and tidied up her black clothes, and said coldly: "I'll go first." ”

As soon as she walked to the door, Ye Ying suddenly got up and shouted, "I have something I want to ask you for help." ”

If Ah Xiao remembers correctly, Ye Ying has always been a person who doesn't ask for anything, and she can't even say a nice word, she was suddenly surprised, turned to look at him, and saw him raise his hand and slowly take off his mask, revealing a handsome and picturesque face.

Indifference has always been the iconic word for evaluating Ye Ying, in the past, the disciples of the Purple Star Sect would give him nicknames behind his back, and the one that Ah Xiao remembers the most is the 'cold-faced bird', the cold face is because he always looks indifferent and indifferent, and the bird is because of the black eagle mask he often wears.

Ye Ying was slightly uncomfortable when he took off his mask, because he had an extra blood scar on the right corner of his eye, which was very conspicuous but did not affect his appearance.

Ah Xiao was shocked, once there was no scar on his face, it didn't look like a new injury, only after a few years, the color of the blood scar would slowly darken, and the scar on his face had faintly blackened.

"What's the matter?" Ah Xiao asked in a deep voice, she didn't intend to ask him where the wound on his face came from, because, as far as she knew about this person, even if she asked him, she wouldn't say.

Ye Ying took out a folded letter from his arms, walked up to Ah Xiao and handed it with both hands, Ah Xiao took it and opened it, his eyes changed instantly, and he exclaimed: "Puppet technique?"

Puppetry is a forbidden technique that can turn dead people into puppets as long as the body is still there, but because it requires a lot of spiritual power, and it is extremely risky, it will go crazy if you are not careful, so no one has used it so far.

And this kind of crooked and evil technique is only found in forbidden books, where did Ye Ying find this?

"Where did you get that?"

Although Ah Xiao and Ye Ying are not friends, they know each other after all, she knows people very well, and knows that Ye Ying is not a person who will use this evil way to do bad things, although after four years, she can still see that there is no evil feeling in his mysterious temperament, so she asks just out of curiosity, who is he going to turn into a puppet?

Ye Ying didn't explain, and asked, "Is it okay?"

His eyes were full of anticipation, and he looked for Ah Xiao for four years, in the past four years, he searched the entire Panxiao Continent, but he failed to find someone who was strong enough to control the puppet technique, but Ah Xiao, she has a strong evil qi in her body, and she can easily turn anyone into a puppet.

Ah Xiao lowered her eyes and thought about it, nodded and said, "Yes, but you also have to promise me two things." ”

"What's the matter?"

"This, I want it. Ah Xiao raised the paper in her hand to her chest and looked at him very seriously.

Ye Ying replied almost without hesitation: "Yes." "It's useless for him to ask for this thing, as long as Ah Xiao helps him do what he wants, it has nothing to do with him what she wants to do.

Ah Xiao put the paper into her arms, and suddenly touched another piece of paper, she paused, raised her eyes and looked at Ye Ying again: "In addition to this, there is one more thing." ”

"You say. ”

"I'm going to the Purple Star Sect. ”
