Chapter 8 The Human Heart

The moment the pillar of light rose into the sky, the originally steady steps of the man in black became messy, and the fanatical look in his eyes faded little by little. When he was sure that the pillar of light had shrouded the mountain wall, and it was difficult for him to take a step forward, his mind was a little out of control. He looked up at the wonders of heaven and earth in front of him, gritted his teeth, and said, "Impossible! The three array seals have gone, and the second is gone, how can this formation still be used?" he roared and threw the magic knife in his hand hard, and with a crisp "ding", the magic knife was bounced back again. The man in black suddenly thought of something, turned his head and stared at the young man in the field viciously, flew up, the magic trick in his hand changed several times, and condensed into four swords in the air and slashed down!

Cheng Linyuan was burning like a fire at the moment, and he didn't realize that the man in black had already attacked him. Cheng Linyuan let out a painful snort from his mouth, and the moment the sword touched him, the red light around his body was sheng, and a powerful force burst out from his body. In an instant, with him as the center, the land within a radius of dozens of zhang cracked inch by inch, and everything that could be seen in the line of sight except for the man in black was turned into powder under the great force! In the howling wind, everything around him, mountains, rocks, trees, and even the corpses of all the people disappeared cleanly.

The man in black looked at Cheng Linyuan in shock, just at that moment, he seemed to be facing a giant beast in the wilderness, and his cultivation that he was proud of in the past was actually vulnerable, and he was a little sober in shock. In just a few breaths, he already had a decision in his mind. Stretching out his slightly trembling hand to recall the magic weapon, he snorted coldly, took a deep look at the young man with a painful face in the pillar of light, and said word by word: "Cheng, Lin, Yuan." Then he glanced at the mountain wall unwillingly, and when he stomped his foot, the light flickered and lifted him into a green light and flew into the sky, and disappeared into the dark night in a moment.

The blue and red rays blended with each other until the entire tree-lined mountain was enveloped in it. It is also ironic to say that the mountains and forests under this gorgeous light curtain are actually a dead silence, and the demons who have escaped are all far away from here, hiding in the dark corners of the mountains, and the ghosts crying are heard, and the scene is extremely weird.

It's about a stick of incense, Cheng Linyuan is almost worse than dead in the pillar of light, and it is no exaggeration to describe that feeling as burning. After the light that shrouded his body disappeared, he fell to the ground weakly, sweat sliding across his pale face, and there was still a trace of pain between his brows. He lay on the ground, closed his eyes tightly, and quietly curled himself up to reassure himself as much as he could. The night is long, the world is impermanent, isn't the only one who can accompany you all the way? What about being alone, what about being lonely, isn't there still a tomorrow? Maybe tomorrow everything will be better.

The sound of even breathing came, and he just folded his arms and fell asleep quietly. Two blue stones hung above, like a pair of eyes silently watching him. A more pure blue light derived from the blue stone, gently drifting to Cheng Linyuan's right wrist, the streamer was dotted, and the blue light turned into a cyan ribbon wrapped around his wrist, completely covering the scar. The blue stone flashed, and one left and one right supported Cheng Linyuan to float until it disappeared into the mountains and forests.

More than 40 miles away from the boulevard mountain, on a nameless hill. Yan Qing looked at the mountains and forests with faint blue light in the distance, and was silent.

An hour ago, two pillars of light appeared one after another on a boundary in Yunzhou, but all cultivators with some vision knew that this was a sign of the birth of a strange treasure or a strange beast, and these things were treasures that could not be encountered by any cultivator.

Including him.

Even though Yan Qing had already been in the high position of the Demon Sect's Sanjun Palace for many years at this time, he still coveted the unknown treasure. Because, he wants to go further. The title of the deputy commander of the Seven Killing Guards of the Sanjun Palace was far from satisfying him. He wants to become an existence above ten thousand people under one person in the Sanjun Palace, and even the supreme position is unknown. The idea was tempting enough, so he immediately ordered people and hurried from Shanzhou.

There are insect chirping and low breathing sounds around. A sound of breaking the air abruptly stopped at the bottom of the hill, the light faded, and the visitor paused for a moment and hurried up the hill. Along the way, many people nodded to him, and he also raised his hand to signal, but no one dared to make a sound, everything was carried out in silence.

The hill was not high, and he only walked for a while to reach the top. He looked at the figure in front of him and took a deep breath, stepped forward and clenched his fists and bowed his head, "Deputy Commander." Yan Qing didn't look back, and said lightly: "What's the situation?" The person who came replied respectfully: "We rushed over immediately after receiving the order, and during this period, many small sects in Yunzhou came, and some went directly into the mountain, but they never came out. The subordinates were afraid of making mistakes, so they took the initiative and sent twelve people in. But until the subordinates came here, they still didn't have any news," after a pause, he looked up and saw that Yan Qing didn't speak, his heart tightened, and he hesitated for a while before cautiously saying: "Deputy commander, do your subordinates want to go again..."

"Wang Qianyue, did Commander Gao only teach you to do these useless things!" Yan Qing turned around and shouted suddenly, and the sound of insects around him stopped. Wang Qianyue's body shook and bent down a few points, and hurriedly said: "The deputy commander is angry, his subordinates are definitely not intentionally offended, the senior commander said that everything here is up to you, and your subordinates dare not overstep their authority." It's just that Commander Gao didn't inadvertently mention that the greedy wolf rode also had a man and horse in Yunzhou, and his subordinates were afraid that they would be the first to get there, so they took matters into their own hands. ”

Yan Qing's face was slightly better when he heard this, but when he heard the words "greedy wolf riding", his eyes were slightly condensed, and he snorted coldly: "That's it, my people found out that there is a small village next to that mountain, do you know?" Wang Qianyue secretly breathed a sigh of relief and replied: "This is indeed the case, and the subordinates have also arranged some people around." ”

Yan Qing was silent, his expression changed, and after a while, he began to say: "Yu Lei, you pick thirty people for him, and ask him to be familiar with them." A man beside him led the way and ran to the side and picked up people. Yan Qing looked at the people in front of him and said slowly: "You take these thirty people plus your original men and horses, and dispose of all the small miscellaneous fish between the village and the mountain." After sneering, he continued: "As for what method to use, you don't need me to teach you any more, right?"

Wang Qianyue coughed: "The deputy commander is serious, and his subordinates have retired." With that, he hurriedly bent down and stepped back. "Wait," Yan Qing sneered: "What are you in a hurry, after dealing with those people, you can go directly into the mountain, you don't have to wait for me." Remember to make marks. Wang Qianyue relaxed his tense body slightly, and hurriedly said, "Yes, my subordinates understand." Behind him a group of people followed, solemn and solemn, and there was no noise except for footsteps.

Yan Qing turned around, turned his back to everyone, and sneered in a low voice again.

At the bottom of the dirt slope, Wang Qianyue looked at the people behind him, and said with a wry smile: "I knew it was you." Someone in the crowd immediately answered: "What does the envoy Wang mean by this?" Wang Qianyue ignored the sarcastic tone at all, and said bluntly: "We are all people of the high commander, and the deputy commander asked us to kill people to open the way for them, isn't this very obvious?" After a pause, regardless of the people who changed their faces, he continued: " Now the life and death of the people who entered the mountain are all uncertain, and the only breakthrough is in that village, but the deputy commander's intention is obviously not to let us interfere, so we can't get any news they get, so..."Speaking of this, Wang Qianyue pursed his lips and said lightly: "Your own life, pay attention to yourself." ”

After a pause, a person took a sip: "Then what are you going to do, if you don't go, you won't go." He waved his hand with an impatient look. The people around him looked at him strangely, and the speaker also felt that something was wrong after he finished speaking. I couldn't remember where it was, so I scratched my head.

Wang Qianyue snorted coldly, glanced at him and said, "Do you dare not go? Do you really want to taste the taste of the Yin Fire Pillar?" The man let out an "oh" sound, with an expression of understanding on his face, and then shivered violently, pulled the corners of his mouth, and stopped talking. There were a few snickering voices from the crowd, and after these words, the atmosphere eased a lot.

Wang Qianyue shook his head and said, "Although our lives are worthless in their eyes, we can't give up easily. So getting there, everybody...... Be careful yourself. ”
