The immortals above the nine heavens drew a line with their hands, and the fate of many people in the earthly world was completely changed. There is no reason, and there is no need for a reason, an invisible prohibition is the separation between life and death; on this side of the line is heaven on earth, with the fragrance of osmanthus; on the other side of the line is the hell of flesh and blood, weeping for ten miles.

Gui Yuan shuddered, countless thoughts flashed through his mind, and then he denied them one by one. What is so special about Kwai Ying City, that it is so blessed to gain the extra favor of the immortals? Is it for a special purpose, or is it lucky enough to be a guinea pig in the control group?

"We have only been in the fairy courtyard all these years, and our vision has been short-sighted, so we have never thought about why there are almost no outsiders in Kwai Ying City, and there are old residents who come and go. ”

Osmanthus pondered, "This situation should not exceed a hundred years, otherwise it will inevitably form a situation of repeated marriages with each other." I had a vague idea in my mind, but it wasn't very real. Let's listen to Senior Sister Zhang first. She looked at Zhang Meng with some reluctance, "Senior sister, do you want to rest first?"

Zhang Meng shook his head, "These things have been pressed in my heart for too long, and it is a relief to say it." You must want to know what happened back then, who led me to break through the ban outside the city, and how I got this magic pill, right?"

"It's a pity that there is a lot of fog in this, and there are many things that I haven't been able to figure out until now. ”

On that day, the eldest girl suddenly lost her confidence, her father and brother were not only flesh and blood, but also enemies of her mother, not to mention that they were afraid that they would look at her worse than a livestock. She was born precocious, and instinctively understood her situation, but that three- or four-year-old body had nothing to use to fight against fate, and all she could do was to shrink in a corner and wait for death to come.

Suddenly, there was a commotion in the camp, and everyone was weak at this time, and they tried their best to save their physical strength and refused to say much, so the slightest movement seemed extraordinary. It's just that most people are so numb that they don't even have any curiosity left, and only roll their eyes slightly, indicating that they are still a little alive.

The eldest brother had just eaten the broth, but he still had the strength to carry her all the way to the place where she was shouting, and then squeezed through the crowd and threw her at the feet of a black-robed man. At this time, there were eight or nine children sitting scattered on the ground, some male and some female, the eldest was no more than six or seven years old, and the younger one did not look as old as the eldest girl, and each of them was dying and could not live long.

Around him, the adults all had red eyes, and they surrounded the black-robed man and asked him to accept the child he had brought. The black-robed man was full of disgust and impatience, and he picked and chose for a long time, and reluctantly chose the two eldest, and the two families each received half a bag of flour, and immediately held it in his arms with joy, and one of them touched the child's head miserably before staggering away;

The eldest brother and a few other people were anxious, and pulled up their own child and held it up to the black-robed man and begged bitterly, the man was disdainful and planned to turn around and leave, but suddenly he didn't know why he took a fancy to the eldest girl again, and took out a small half bag of flour and bought her. The eldest girl saw that the eldest brother was happy to move the color, and she hugged the flour bag in both hands and thanked the black-robed man again and again.

"That was actually the last time I saw someone from the Zhang family. Zhang Meng stated without emotion, and then took the Ning Shen Pill handed over by Gui Yuan and the elixir that replenished the aura and threw them into his mouth.

"It's a pity that I don't know how the black-robed people broke through the ban on Kwai Ying City, and my next memory begins in a cave where there are seven older children hiding in addition to the three of us newcomers. ”

Gui Yuan saw the sad look in his sister's eyes, and suddenly came to his senses, judging from the dialogue between Bai Shengxue and Zhang Meng, it was obvious that she was the only survivor in the end, and the fate of the other nine children was unknown.

Sure enough, Zhang Meng said slowly: "I am the youngest of them, I think it was kept by the black-robed man for backup, but I survived by luck." ”

At first, the black-robed man did not abuse the ten children, but fed them for several days without sparing pills and food. It's just that he doesn't know what means he used, all the children are sleepy every day, except for sleeping and eating, and there is not much time to wake up, but their faces are quickly flushed.

Now that the animal has been fattened, it is natural that it should be placed on the altar. This moment even came without warning, and the black-robed man, who was still handing out meat soup to the children, suddenly stood up and took everyone out of the cave. Only then did the eldest girl realize that she had lived under a big tree with a crooked neck these days. And next to it is a cliff.

The black-robed man examined all the children and picked out the skinniest girl and threw it aside. As if she had been immobilized, she could not move or speak, and only her eyes could move, and she saw that the bodies of the nine sturdy children were arranged in various strange postures, forming a circle, and the black-robed man was standing in the middle with his hair scattered.

"It was a full moon night, just like last night, the moonlight was bright and bright. But when the demon moved, the heavens and the earth suddenly darkened together, and they, they withered and aged before my eyes, and in the blink of an eye, they shrunk into a ball. ”

Osmanthus had a miserable face and sighed: "It's the Jiuyao Burning Lamp Array! I didn't expect this evil sect formation to still circulate! This formation uses nine pure yang people as lights, but what burns is the life of essence blood, and it is said that as long as the sacrifice is enough, it can summon the Extreme Yin Heavenly Demon." That's how the elixir came about. ”

Zhang Meng was stunned for a moment, and whispered the name of the "Jiuyao Burning Lantern Array" twice, and suddenly said: "I see, both boys and girls can be counted as yang bodies, and the innate qi is still there, and it is even more suitable as a sacrifice than adults." In the troubled times, there are many fathers and mothers who want to sell their daughters, and the black-robed people can pick and take away with half a bag of flour at will, which is much more convenient than buying pigs and sheep. . . ”

Gui Yuan only felt that the bottom of his heart was burning and there was nowhere to vent, and after a while, he suddenly hugged Zhang Meng hard, but he opened his mouth but didn't know what to say, and finally could only say weakly: "You were still so young at the time, you, you must be very scared and sad." ”

Zhang Meng's body trembled, in fact, only a few moments after the black-robed man sacrificed, several monks came with their swords and saved her after a big battle. Bai Shengxue was the youngest, so he was assigned to take care of her, but in addition to feeding her, he would only blindly say that the bad guys had been beaten away and told her not to cry, and for many years, no one had ever thought of asking, "Are you scared?

Her nose was sore, and two lines of tears flowed from her eyes involuntarily.

After a while, Zhang Meng took the handkerchief handed by Osmanthus and stroked his nose vigorously, and suddenly felt much better.

She continued: "The black-robed man probably also felt that the pursuers were not far away, so he hurriedly launched a large array, and then in a hurry to destroy the traces, he threw all the corpses and the things left in the tree hole off the cliff. When Big Brother Bai and the others arrived, I was being carried by the black-robed man, and I almost died. ”

"I'm young and stupid, and the black-robed man probably didn't take me to heart, so he just threw it aside. I didn't understand the fight between the immortals at the time, but I only knew that the black-robed man was stabbed with many swords, probably not successfully, but in the end he ran away. ”

Osmanthus was puzzled: "Did that magic pill stay like this?"

Zhang Meng shook his head and nodded again, "Those monks don't seem to know what he's doing, they just think he's a wicked person who robbed children and trespassed on the prohibition of Kwai Ying City. ”

In fact, in their hearts, maybe the latter is even more guilty. Zhang Meng said mockingly.

"As you can see, the appearance of the magic pill is inconspicuous, like a lump of earth and rock. They flew sand and rocks, and the black-robed man took advantage of the chaos and kicked the magic pill into the hole in the tree. Although I just knew it at the time, I never thought much about it, and it wasn't until Immortal Master Rui pointed out that day that you were refining the magic pill in the Danfang that I finally connected the two things together. In fact, I was just sick and rushed to the doctor, I never thought that the magic pill was really still in the cave, it seems that the black-robed demon was really injured and died, and he was not able to come back and take the magic pill. ”

Osmanthus got up and paced back and forth in the Dan room twice, and the whole puzzle in her mind gradually took on a complete shape, "At that time, the black-robed man should have known that the magic pill was outside Kwai Ying City, but he didn't know the exact location, let alone that the tree hole where he was hiding was actually only a wall away from the magic pill that he had worked hard to summon. ”

"So there were originally six magic pills in the wormhole... That's right, no wonder the guardian circle was so vulnerable, and the large array that should have been extremely secretive had gone out of control to have a mental impact on the people near the tree hole. It turned out that the formation was incomplete. ”

She thought about it again and asked, "Didn't Senior Sister never mention that tree hole to anyone after she was rescued?"

Zhang Meng smiled bitterly: "I was overly frightened and in a very bad state. Besides, they didn't understand anything about me, and no one wanted to ask me any questions about this little girl, so they sent me to the fairy courtyard and left shortly after. I buried this experience in my heart and never told anyone else about it before. ”

Osmanthus nodded, "The magic pill in the tree cave is not protected by a formation, and I am afraid that it is about to run out of oil after more than ten years." After the senior sister took it away, she directly used it to absorb the aura in it, you were not deep in the demon, but the forging test was too consumed to be supported, so you were controlled by the demon qi and came to the tree hole again. Now it seems that this mutilated demon soul probably does not want to return to the place where it once hid, but instinctively wants to absorb other magic pills to survive. That makes sense. ”

Zhang Meng rolled his eyes, and suddenly said, "Then Senior Sister, you are so familiar with the Demon Pill and the Demon Formation, and you are the only one who can feel the Demon Qi, but how do you explain it?"

Without waiting for Osmanthus to answer, she had already smiled and said, "Everyone has their own secrets, and I don't plan to snoop on Senior Sister Gui's secrets, but maybe you will be very interested in the secrets I know." ”

Zhang Meng blinked meaningfully, "Save me, you don't suffer." I'm probably more useful than you think. ”
