Nine.

The old demon heard that Su Yanqing's words did not mean to cure me, so he had no choice but to shut up, shook his head angrily and turned to leave. The demons in the hall felt that this matter had already had a result, and it would not change anything if they stayed any longer, and they gradually dispersed, and soon, only me and Su Yanqing were left in the entire hall Standing there, becoming empty and lonely.

I can deeply feel the dissatisfaction with me in the eyes of the demons who passed by me, and I can understand why they look at me like this, but the only thing I don't have a clue is why the high king of the demon world in front of me would try so hard to protect me and even protect me at the expense of being looked down upon by the demons.

He did tell me that he liked me, but there was no reason for this liking - I had only known him for less than half a month, and if his friendship with me was born of love at first sight, then what he did for me was far more than this "like". But whenever I wanted to ask him why he was doing this, he always deftly changed the subject, and was not prepared to tell me why. My mind was in a mess, and I didn't have the ability to deal with this intricate triviality, and in the main hall, he and I stood opposite each other in silence, each with their own thoughts.

"What are you thinking?" Su Yanqing felt that the atmosphere was more awkward, and spoke first to break the silence.

I shook my head and didn't want to answer him, because I knew that if I told him what I was thinking now, I would be like a needle sinking to him again, as I had done a few times before, and there would be no news of him again.

Su Yanqing moved her lips, probably wanting to say something more, but then she was interrupted by a little demon who fell in in a panic. I looked in the direction where the movement was generated, and saw that the little demon was covered in black and red, his right eye had been gouged out, and his face was covered with black blood that had been dried, and there was a thick smell of blood wrapped around his body, mixed with an indescribable salty smell.

Although I saw a lot of corpses when I was in Jianghuai Town, the half-dead tragic situation of this little demon in front of me still shocked me, I screamed and took a few steps back, and I stumbled and almost fell, but fortunately, Su Yanqing behind me stepped forward in time and forcefully resisted my waist.

"Temple...... Your Highness...... Save ......" The little demon fell to the ground and lost consciousness without moaning a few times, and Su Yanqing saw this and urgently summoned the doctor to carry the little demon into the bedroom for treatment.

I was stunned, and after taking a few big breaths to calm down, I felt that my waist was still being held by a strong hand, so I quickly jumped away in embarrassment.

"Pap" At the same time as I broke free of Su Yanqing's arm, the Dao bead that Ming Shiqi gave me accidentally slipped from my sleeve and fell to the ground, I found it and squatted down to look for it, ready to pick up this bead, but I looked around the nearby ground, and I didn't find any blue beads, until the person on the side called me in a low voice: "What are you looking for, is this Dao bead?"

I turned around and saw that Su Yanqing was holding a bead, which looked very similar to the Dao bead that Ming Shiqi gave me, but this bead was dark red, which was completely different from the Miao blue of the Dao Bead.

"No, I'm looking for a blue bead. I took one look at him and denied him and continued to bend down to search.

"This one in my hand is the blue Dao bead that Ming Shi gave you. ”

I turned my head again in disbelief and stared carefully at the red bead in his hand, and was surprised to find that there were still some blue silver filaments left inside the bead, as if it had been invaded by red.

I finally determined that this was the Dao Bead that Ming Shiqi gave me, but I was confused about its discoloration, and Su Yanqing saw the confusion on my face, and said with a long sigh: "Do you want to ask why this Dao Bead turned red?"

I nodded intently.

"Then I can tell you, but you have to be mentally prepared. Su Yanqing's tone was dull and powerful, and I saw that he was not joking, and a sense of foreboding secretly rose in my heart.

"Yes...... Is something wrong?"

"Ming Shi lacks that guy, don't say it, in fact, I have long regarded you as an important person in my heart. Su Yanqing's face flashed some complicated melancholy, but soon became calm and calm, he held up the Dao Bead and looked at it against the light, as if he wanted to look through it with sharp eyes, "You must not know that the Dao Bead is a spiritual bead made by cultivators who gather their 100 years of cultivation, which contains a quarter of the soul of a cultivator, and Dao beads can cure a hundred poisons, avoid thousands of difficulties, cross the three tribulations, and connect with the cultivators, two in one, so generally speaking, they refine the Dao beads in case of emergency." ”

Speaking of this, I probably realized that Ming Shique handed over a valuable thing to me, but I just owe it, I just don't want to admit the true feelings in my heart, obviously my nose is already a little sour, I still turned my head and said stiffly: "Isn't it just a hundred years of cultivation, isn't it better for a cultivator to save someone casually than to create a seventh-level floating slaughter, then Ming Shique can refine a Dao bead in a village?"

"The so-called hundred-year cultivation is the skill that can only be possessed by cultivating the Dao for a hundred years, within the Six Realms, there are only six people who have Dao beads, except for the four sects of Dao Immortals and the Pure Yang Ancestor Zi Ximu, the rest is the Ming Shiqi. Ming Shiqi is a genius within the Six Realms, and he is gifted to achieve the achievement of cultivating in one year and ten years of cultivation, and he gave this Dao Bead directly to you, which is equivalent to entrusting you with a quarter of him, haven't you realized his sincerity?" Listening to Su Yanqing's words, the uneasiness in my heart became more and more anxious, and I hurriedly asked: "Then what does this have to do with changing color??"

"Daozhu is him, he is Daozhu. Dao Zhu turned from blue to red, which means ...... "The person in front of me looked at me, his eyes showed deep sadness, I held my breath and stared, secretly praying that things would not be as I thought, but in the end, I still lost to reality, Su Yanqing finally took a breath after being silent for a long time, and suddenly spit out those cold words-

"There is a lack of blood and light in the Ming world. ”

Ten.

I can't recall how I spent the minutes after hearing what Su Yanqing said. I have several images of despair and heartbreak in my mind, but I forcibly forgot them, I don't want to think about them, in the few seconds when my brain crashed, I only remember that the side of my face was gently pressed against my strong chest, and tears slipped down uncontrollably, wetting the clothes of the white brocade fox fur hexagram.

"There is a lack of blood and light in the Ming world. ”

This sentence has been echoing in my ears, obviously just a stinky Taoist priest who has been living together for a few days, why did I learn that he may be in dire straits, deep in my heart as if there was a sharp knife stabbing like a stabbing pain, the previous pictures together were skimmed one by one, I don't know what to do, I can only stay here to vent this emotion.

Su Yanqing, who was holding me, saw a demon soldier come out of the bedroom where he had just treated the injured demon, so he summoned him and whispered to understand the situation, looked down at my state, and smoothed my hair distressedly and asked me: "Xiao Xia Ying, do you want to go to him?"

I nodded feebly.

Su Yanqing smiled faintly, patted me on the back comfortingly, and said, "I probably know where he is, if you want to go, I will put down all the affairs of the demon world and go with you to save him." ”
