Evening.

"Knock knock—"

A crisp knock sounded on the door, and after a while, Zhao Xiaoling's agile voice came from inside the room: "Who's who, who's it?"

Hao Zhi stood outside the house and said angrily: "Sleep your sister, just eat and sleep, you want to become a pig?

"Hey, Master, wait, I'll be here soon!"

With a creak, Zhao Xiaoling opened the door to let Hao Zhi in, and said innocently: "Master, I don't have a sister, so I don't usually sleep with my sister, I sleep with my mother, so I sleep with my mother......"

Hao Zhi was speechless: "Your father should hate you to death, right?"

Zhao Xiaoling smiled: "My father died early, in fact, I don't have much impression of him." ”

"......" Hao Zhi didn't speak, walked to the table and sat down, glancing at the messy bed: "You really fell asleep so early?"

Zhao Xiaoling nodded: "Well, it is dark in our village very early, and it is very dangerous after nightfall, so the village must go to bed early." ”

"It's really a special rule. ”

"Hey, hey. Zhao Xiaoling scratched his head embarrassedly and asked, "Why is the master looking for me so late?"

Hao Zhi raised his head and looked at her: "Don't you want to learn to cultivate immortals?"

Zhao Xiaoling's head nodded like a rattle, and he said excitedly: "Yes, yes, yes, I want to learn flying swords! Master, is this going to teach me to cultivate immortals? Do we want to make any preparations?"

"I'm curious why you always like to learn to fly with Edgeworth?"

"Because I want to take the villagers out of the mountains!"

"Can't you walk out?"

Zhao Xiaoling shook his head.

"Why?" Hao Zhi wondered.

Zhao Xiaoling looked entangled, as if she was considering whether to tell the truth to Hao Zhi, Hao Zhi was not in a hurry, and when she thought about it slowly, although Zhao Xiaoling was already his apprentice, he was not one of those old-fashioned masters, "what apprentice can't hide anything from his master" These are worthless to him. In Hao Zhi's opinion, everyone has their own secrets, as long as the other party's secrets do not threaten him, then he will never take the initiative to ask.

Zhao Xiaoling gritted his teeth and said with determination: "Actually, our village is sealed in the mountains by a great power, and we will never be able to leave the village. ”

Hao Zhi was a little surprised: "Who is so stubborn? can actually seal a village in the mountains for eternity? And why did he seal you, shouldn't your village be full of people like demons and hell clans who want to destroy the earth at every turn, eliminate human beings and occupy the mountains as kings, right?"

"Master, have you ever heard of the demon clan?"

"The demon clan hasn't heard of it, but you can guess it just by hearing the name...... What's the matter? The people in your village are all demons? That's pretty awesome...... Are they all one race or are they all of any race? What about you? As long as it's not a snake demon, I can accept other settings!" Hao Zhi smiled faintly, seeing Zhao Xiaoling's generous and righteous appearance, he was a little funny, and wondered if she was really a demon clan, right? But even if it looks like it's nothing, isn't Zhao Ling'er in the fairy sword still a snake demon in a sense?

Zhao Xiaoling was relieved to see that Hao Zhi still had the intention of joking.

When she summoned the Natal Gu to investigate Hao Zhi's entry into Wanfu Town before, she secretly let the Natal Gu absorb a drop of Hao Zhi's blood when she connected the vision between the Natal Gu and Hao Zhi, which was a unique way of mental assessment for their Demon Yi Clan, which could check a person's inner goodness and evil. White is good, black is evil, and a person's degree of goodness and evil is judged by which color is closer to the color displayed on the body after the natal Gu absorbs a drop of blood.

After Zhao Xiaoling's natal Gu absorbed Hao Zhi's blood, the color displayed was a "light gray" color that was biased towards white. In addition, she has already worshipped Hao Zhi as a teacher, so she has the idea of "giving it a go" and tells Hao Zhi about the village. In fact, she was also forced to be helpless, because the "time" in the village was running out.

Zhao Xiaoling said seriously: "Actually, we are not the kind of demon race you imagined, Master, to be precise, we are called the 'Demon Yi Clan', which is a 'new' race that was born thousands of years ago, and the total number is not much, and the population has been maintained at about a thousand. ”

"What is the origin of this Moyi Clan, how can you make it possible for others to live forever and be sealed in the mountains?"

"Our Moyi clan is actually a hybrid born of a combination of the demon clan and humans, that is, half demon and half human. I heard from my mother that when our ancestors were desperate due to the heavy casualties of the Third Spirit War, a reclusive power rescued them and took them to their secluded village. The ancestors and the people in the village lived in peace, and over time, many demon clans and humans gradually combined, and since then there has been the Demon Yi clan. Master, you know that the demon clan can't cultivate human exercises, and human cultivators can't cultivate demon cultivation, right?"

Hao Zhi nodded, he had read a lot of historical classics in the spirit world in Xuantian Pavilion, and there were indeed records in them that the exercises of human monks, demon clans, and demon clans were not interconnected. Although the Demon Gate also has the word "Demon", it has no half-dime relationship with the real Demon Clan, and the monks in the sect are all human beings, and their cultivation is also human exercises.

Zhao Xiaoling continued: "But because our Demon Yi Clan is half-human and half-demon, we can cultivate two exercises at the same time, and the speed of cultivation is faster than that of either side. Later, the tribesmen who went out to practice attracted the attention of a great power, and after many investigations, he found the village where the tribesmen lived in seclusion. Because the exercises he cultivated had a lot to do with the demon clan, he could not only enslave the spirit beast, but also make a blood contract with the demon clan to make it work for him. This great power took a fancy to the ability of the Moyi clan, and offered many tempting conditions for the Moyi clan to join his sect, and the clansmen signed a contract with the disciples in the sect to become their assistants. But our ancestors did not want to lose their freedom because of this, nor did they want to become a faction to once again involve the village in the spiritual realm, and in the end, to anger the power. He took the people of his own sect and wanted to capture all the people of his clan......"

"Wait!" Hao Zhi suddenly interrupted: "The great power you are talking about should be a certain monk of the Beast Control Sect, this sect, should it be the Beast Control Gate?"

Zhao Xiaoling nodded: "Shizun guessed well, but they are one of the six major factions now, the Beast Control Gate." And that great power is the ancestor of the Beast Control Gate - the White Tiger Zhenren. ”

The reason why Hao Zhi was able to guess the Beast Control Gate was also because the entire Spirit Realm exercises were related to the Demon Clan, and the only monk who could not only enslave the Spirit Beast, but also force the Demon Clan to work for them with a blood contract was the Beast Control Gate. The rest of the small sects are already very good at being able to control spirit beasts, and there are really few who dare to attack the demon clan.

"And then?"

Later, the great man who had taken in the ancestors died in battle while protecting the village, and the ancestors and their people also suffered heavy casualties. In order to keep the old and weak women and children in the village, the old village chief took these people to move to a valley, and most of the clansmen and villagers with cultivation used their blood to cast a secret Gu and form a seal in the valley, and they could not enter the valley without the blood of the Demon Yi clan. The rest of the people in the village resisted the driver's gate to stall for time, and when the White Tiger Zhenren found out, he had nothing to do with us. So in a fit of rage, he destroyed the entire village and planted a 10,000-blood array outside the valley, constantly devouring the vitality of the valley. Originally, the Demon Yi clan had a lifespan of hundreds of years, and they often died after being devoured by the Ten Thousand Blood Array. Not only that, but he also used some kind of evil formation of the Beast Control Gate, which made the valley shrouded in black fog all the year round, and we couldn't take half a step out of the valley when we saw the sun for less than two hours every day. At night, there are also many ghosts attacking the village. When it came to the problems of the village, Zhao Xiaoling, who has always been lively and lovely, also bit his lip, with a look of unwillingness and anger.

Hao Zhi said strangely: "Then with the talent of your Demon Yi Clan, you can just take this opportunity to hide in the valley and sneak up on cultivation, just think of destroying the seal? It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, not to mention that your Demon Yi Clan has a lifespan of about 100 years under the influence of the Ten Thousand Blood Array, which is much stronger than ordinary humans!"

Zhao Xiaoling bit his lip: "We don't have exercises...... When I first transferred, I was in a hurry, and I didn't have time to collect the exercises in the village. And in that battle, all the clansmen and monks who had cultivated had been killed, and even if some of the remaining old and weak women and children had cultivated, they were still incomplete in a few sentences of body refining methods, and they couldn't make up a complete set of exercises at all, and only Gu techniques were left in the complete inheritance. ”

Hao Zhi asked, "Then how did you get out of the village?"

"The secret method of the Demon Yi Clan's Gu technique, overdrawing the life span of thirty years, allowing the Natal Gu to absorb and obtain the ability to break through the cocoon into a butterfly and force it out of the black mist. ”

Thirty years of life?

Although Hao Zhi was surprised in his heart, he could also see from this that the current situation of the Demon Yi Clan was by no means optimistic, otherwise it would be impossible for Zhao Xiaoling to pay such a price to come out of the valley.

"This secret method can't be popularized?"

Zhao Xiaoling nodded: "Because the vitality in the valley is getting less and less, there are not many cultivated Gu worms that can survive at all, and Wang Gu has only been in my body for hundreds of years." There is not much vitality left in the valley, and the plants and animals have long been extinct, and I am the only hope in the clan...... Master, if you save us, I am willing to pay no matter what the price is!"

"But have you ever thought that if you could really fly out of the valley with the flight of the sword, wouldn't the monks of the Beast Control Gate enter the valley long ago?"

Zhao Xiaoling sobbed softly: "I also know that it is impossible to come out of the valley with the flying of the sword alone...... But...... But we're at the end of our rope...... Over the centuries, the people have tried all the methods, but they have not been able to get out of the valley...... This time, our only hope......"

Hao Zhi raised his hand and gently wiped his eyes for Zhao Xiaoling: "Don't cry, don't worry, Shizun has a way to save your clansmen!"

"Really?" Zhao Xiaoling burst into tears and smiled, looking excited.

Hao Zhi nodded: "It's not difficult to rescue them, but the only question is, how can I get in? I haven't seen the seal of the Beast Control Gate, so I can't guarantee that I will have a way to get in." ”

"I have!" Zhao Xiaoling said firmly: "I can use my natal Gu to send you in!"

"Won't you have another thirty years of life?"

Zhao Xiaoling shook his head: "That's not necessary, my real name Wang Gu has already broken through the cocoon into a butterfly, and if you use the secret technique to pass through the seal, you only need to overdraw your lifespan for fifteen years." ”

"That one in and one out is not thirty years of life, there is a difference between hair!"
