(a)
"Ghost Domain", this is another eerie night. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The silent place of the 'Forbidden Palace' is even more bleak and cold, looking like a sleeping beast from a distance. In the depths of the 'Forbidden Palace' there is a gloomy cave, the walls of the cave are pitch black, and the surrounding wind is gusting, and a gust of extremely cold yin wind enters people's hearts, which makes people creepy and frightened. The mouth of the cave was like the mouth of a monster, and it seemed to devour everything. A huge stone tablet stood there, I don't know how many years it has been standing, whether it has appeared when the world was opened, or it has grown by itself, no one knows its origin, the mottled body, silent and solemn, like an old man who has gone through all the vicissitudes of life is sighing. On the stele there is a line of blood-red letters: "Those who enter the forbidden land die." The handwriting was full of blood, and each stroke was like a sword and a sword, emitting a terrifying power of ghosts and gods.
The secluded path of the cave was pitch black, faintly flickering with clusters of ghost fires, shining and guiding the way into the cave. The entrance of the cave is very deep, first there is a damp stone road that is one person wide, there are strange characters faintly appearing on the stone, and there is a sound of knocking and knocking when walking on it; the road is getting wider and wider, and the light is getting brighter and brighter, the cave wall becomes particularly smooth, there are faint pictures on it, the color of the painting is red like human blood, it is not dim, it is still distinct, and it still reveals a strong smell of blood. The paintings are full of vivid figures, men and women, old and young, wearing fanged masks, revealing only a vicious, strange and bloody eye. They have powerful and evil powers, they turn more people into demons, into powerful creatures for all things, they believe in power, they believe in the supremacy of the strong, the law of the forest, the law of the jungle, they wave their hands, they wield knives, they wield swords, they wield all the tools they can use to create this world, dominate this world, they do not want to live in humility, they do not want to steal peace, they do not want to be under the command of others, they want to become the master of all spirits in this world. This is the origin of the Demon Gate.
A black mist floated out, filling the entire cave, and then drifting in a circle. It seems to float out of a cold pool, which is very dark and inky black in color.
A middle-aged man with long hair floated in the pool, looking clear and handsome, with a long beard fluttering, and his eyes closed, like a silent corpse.
The mist wrapped around the man's body, and his whole body was suddenly like a rock, and a layer of cold ice suddenly condensed from his skin, slowly seeping into his body and his internal organs. At this moment, his long hair danced together, his hands were raised, and a black ball slowly spun from his palm, like a small ball spinning, which was controlled by him in the palm of his hand. The black ball with the mist, with the palm rotation, faster and faster, bigger and bigger, more and more round, when he hung in the air and left, but transformed into a small black ball, burst in an instant, the momentum was shocking, shocking the entire ghost realm creatures.
At this moment, the old man opened his eyes, what amazing eyes they were! When he closed his eyes, he looked like a peaceful and benevolent old man, but when he opened his eyes, he was like two sharp sword lights, two lightning bolts that pierced the sky, two meteors that flew down from the universe, and two rays of light that could kill people in the invisible. His eyes were pitch black, black as ink, and there was a suffocating power floating between his eyes, a gloomy and evil magic, a purest power from heaven and earth, the two forces were intertwined and devoured each other, and with the washing of the mist, his eyes instantly became dull and colorless, lost their proper color, and turned gray.
The magic swirled and swirled in the air, gradually transforming into a human figure, the figure was very faint, and it was impossible to see his true face, only a figure made of smoke appeared.
The old man slowly tread the water, rising and rising, his naked and strong figure, and it seemed that he was an old man. The old man waved his hand, and his clothes floated out of thin air, and in a blink of an eye he was already dressed, and at this time, he was like a far-sighted and knowledgeable gentleman.
The old man sighed softly and said respectfully, "Shi Chong has disappointed you!"
The figure made a buzzing voice: "Don't be presumptuous, your talent has surpassed that of Lingshi Xuying, and it is already great to be able to learn ten percent." I dare to say that at this time, with your martial arts, you are already invincible in the world?"
The old man said unadmittedly: "Shichong is unwilling, I hope to rush to the twelve, and then win the Central Plains and sit on the throne." ā
The figure smiled: "Shi Chong, do you think that the 'Heavenly Demon Skill' is easy to learn? Each generation of Demon Gate is one out of ten thousand, and there may not be any success, and how many can successfully reach 12 percent, achieving the realm of illusion demons without a shadow?"
The old man said dejectedly, "Is there really no way? Is it so difficult to make the realm of illusion formless and shadowless?"
The figure said: "In the past, the 'Heavenly Demon Gong' was exiled in the Central Plains, and after several twists and turns, it fell into the hands of a young man named Siyin. He once went the other way, fell into the devil with love, and entered the invisible realm of illusion. You are different from him, but to kill the demon, ruthlessly enter, the future is a hundred times more dangerous and bumpy, retreat and die and live, not to mention that you are seventy years old this year, I am afraid that it will be difficult to go further. ā
The old man said unwillingly: "Your old man will give me another half a year, I want to try again?"
The shadow pondered for a moment and said, "Okay! Maybe there's a way to do it? I'll help you one last time!
The old man's eyes lit up, and his face showed an excited expression: "Tell me about it!"
The shadow said, "Remember the person I once asked you to pay attention to the pure yin body?"
The old man said puzzledly: "Coincidentally, I sent people to search the entire Central Plains back then but didn't find it, and I didn't expect it to appear in front of me ten years ago." Her name is Li Xianxian, her father is a ** Chinese, because she offended the Central Plains martial arts master and went to the ghost domain, and later because Guo Qianjun coveted her beauty and asked me, I pitied her pity and accepted her as a righteous daughter. ā
The shadow hummed and laughed: "There is no place to find when you step through the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get there?" Shi Chong, it seems that the sky will not die for you? Alas, if I could find a woman with a pure yin body back then, I wouldn't have become like this?"
The old man asked again, "How can she help me?"
The shadow smiled: "This pond is called the Demon Source, there is a most cold-resistant spring at the bottom of the pool, this is the source of the Devil, there is a flower of the Demon Source growing on the edge of the source, it blooms for a thousand years, bears fruit for a thousand years, matures for a thousand years, and then the melon is ripe and falls...... Haha, Shi Chong, your great luck is coming, the fruit of the demon source will ripen, as long as a person with a pure yin body sneaks into the source land to take the source fruit for you, you can travel thousands of miles in a day, and you will definitely achieve the realm of formlessness and shadowlessness. ā
The old man was overjoyed: "Okay! Xian Xian will definitely help me get the source fruit, she will definitely not refuse." ā
The shadow said: "It's not so easy? She is a pure yin body, she needs to enter the source naked, and she needs to be invaded by the demon source, and her life and death are uncertain, this is one of them; second, the source fruit needs to be held by her jade lips, because the yin body does not melt, but the demon source matures after ten thousand years, and after ten thousand years of source washing, and grows in the extremely cold place of the cathode, its cold qi invades the body and needs to go ashore quickly, otherwise her life is at stake." ā
The old man pondered for a long time and said, "Why should those who have achieved great things live in small sections? If Xian Xian can survive, the old man will crown her as the holy daughter of the Demon Sect and enjoy glory and wealth forever." ā
The shadow said: "Don't be sloppy for big things, I believe you will definitely persuade the slender girl to take out the source fruit for you." Half a year later, you will make your dreams come true and achieve the realm of illusion and shadowlessness. ā
The old man laughed: "Shi Chong will not live up to your old man's expectations?"
The shadow figure floated around, and said sharply, "If the slender girl takes out the source fruit and does not die, I will teach her a set of divine skills." ā
The old man wondered, "When did your old man become so generous?"
The shadow smiled, but unfortunately her voice was rustling and unpleasant: "I'm happy! The pure yin body naturally has to be worthy of her divine skills, and it just so happened that when I was looking for the pure yin body, I got a copy of the secret book of "Pure Yin Divine Skills", and I didn't expect to finally be able to give it away!"
The old man said happily: "I believe that Xian Xian will not refuse!"

Li Xianxian took Ruhui's hand: "Xiaohui, don't be afraid? With me here, no one dares to touch you?"
Ruhui said fearfully: "Princess, where are we going?"
Li Xianxian smiled and said, "Don't you be nervous?"
Li Xianxian took her hand and entered her boudoir, which was full of fragrance, splendid silk satin, fragrant pillows and brocade. There is a pipa hanging by the window, an egg-sized pearl hangs on the roof, and the dazzling jade porcelain bowls are dazzling and dazzling. By the window, there are several pots of unknown flowers with a fragrant and refreshing fragrance.
Li Xianxian gently opened a painting, and inside was a beautiful statue carved from white jade, which was lifelike, especially a pair of bright eyes like water, which was more vivid.
Li Xianxian revealed a pink and tender soft wattle from her sleeve, stretched out her jade onion-like fingers and pressed it lightly in the two pairs of eyes of the beauty portrait, and then heard a burst of clicking sounds, and a secret door appeared, Li Xianxian looked back and smiled at Ruhui with a surprised look: "Ruhui, come with me!"
Ruhui looked incredulous, followed Li Xianxian into the secret door, and the secret door slowly closed, and a bright light faintly appeared inside.
In the light, there were several hidden rooms, and in front of the middle door sat two strange old men, who were playing chess intently, and their every move was very mysterious.
Li Xian's smile bloomed: "Uncle Lu, Uncle Cheng." ā
The right person raised his head and smiled: "Xian Xian, whose little girl are you leading?"
The one on the left said: "Xian Xian, when did you become so filial?
Ruhui was embarrassed, Li Xianxian stomped her feet angrily: "Uncle Cheng, don't talk nonsense? Xianxian took her as her sister and wanted to ask the two uncles to take good care of her in the future?"
Old man Lu smiled: "Okay, my old man can tease the little girl, and I won't be bored anymore!"
Ruhui saw the opportunity and saluted the two old men: "Ruhui has seen the two seniors. Ruhui grew up in the ghost domain since she was a child, if the two seniors don't dislike it, Ruhui will definitely take good care of the two seniors in the future. ā
The old man surnamed Lu laughed: "Cheng Lao Wei, you listen to what a well-behaved little girl no, we are all people without families, it is better to accept her as a righteous daughter, so that we can also have successors, a hundred years later, there is also a person to send to the end?"
Ruhui was overjoyed, and hurriedly bowed down to the old man surnamed Lu and Cheng: "Ruhui greets the two fathers-in-law." ā
The old man surnamed Cheng said lightly: "Old man Lu, you accept her as a righteous daughter, don't drag me in?"
Ruhui's face changed, and she was extremely embarrassed!
The old man surnamed Lu blushed and jumped up: "Such a well-behaved daughter, where can we find it, you are too much?"
Li Xianxian asked suspiciously: "Uncle Cheng......"
The old man surnamed Cheng waved his hand: "Don't worry, I still haven't finished speaking?" Lu Buping, you accepted a righteous daughter, of course I, Cheng Ming, am not to be outdone......?
Lu Buping's eyes widened: "But what?" It seems that the old man surnamed Cheng will definitely not give up if he doesn't give a reason.
Cheng Ming grinned and said, "But I want to take another ......"
Lu Buping rolled his eyes at him: "What? Who else can compare to my Hui'er?"
Cheng Ming said: "Hey, old man Lu, don't worry? I mean I want to recognize a godson." In this way, after a hundred years, wouldn't it be good for us to have him take care of Hui'er?"
Lu Buping's eyes lit up: "The old man understands, you want to accept a godson and let Hui'er be paired with him?
Ruhui's pretty face turned red: "Godfather." ā
Li Xian smiled and said, "Uncle Lu, don't be too happy first, Uncle Cheng has to satisfy Sister Ruhui when he finds someone?"
Cheng Ming smiled: "Of course, of course, Xian Xian, let's go in! The master is still waiting for you inside? Hui'er, you stay here first." ā

Li Xian Xian pushed open the door with a nervous mood, and a spacious room appeared, the room was richly decorated and dazzling, and in the middle was a gossip map, on which sat cross-legged an old man with long black hair, who looked clear and handsome, with a long beard and flowing beard, and was closing his eyes to recuperate!
Li Xianxian said a blessing: "The righteous daughter Xianxian visits her father-in-law." ā
The old man slowly opened his eyes, a different color flashed between his eyebrows, and his eyes showed a loving, kind and kind look: "Xian Xian, my father-in-law is looking for you with something important?"
Li Xian Xian gently swung his shirt and sat down quietly beside the old man: "What is the matter with my father-in-law looking for Xian Xian?"
The old man slowly looked up at Xian Xian and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a few years, Xian Xian has become a big girl! Xian Xian, your father-in-law left you in the Forbidden Palace, didn't let others get close to you, and didn't let you pay attention to the ghost realm, did you ever resent your father-in-law?"
Li Xianxian's face changed slightly, and she lowered her head and was at a loss.
She raised her head in the middle of the ring: "Xian Xian lost her mother at the age of five, and lost her father at the age of ten. ā
The old man smiled with satisfaction: "Don't be nervous, Xian Xian, let me ask you again, how does your stepfather treat you?"
Li Xian said sincerely: "It's like her own daughter." ā
The old man smiled and said, "If your father-in-law wants you to do a favor, are you willing?"
Cold sweat broke out on Li Xianxian's forehead, her body was full of relish, and she said loudly: "Xianxian is willing to go to the soup for her father-in-law, and she will not give up." ā
The old man let out a long sigh and said, "Xian Xian, my father-in-law didn't want to embarrass you, but my father-in-law was burdened with the heavy responsibility of the rise and fall of the Demon Gate for a hundred years, so he had to do it as a last resort! For the great cause of the Demon Gate, several generations of the Demon Gate have been overwhelmed by both good and evil. But fifty years ago, the original demon gate general came to the world, but Shen Shenmou, Qiu Huici, Luo Jian, and Yan Xia joined forces to force my father-in-law to the ghost domain and steal peace. Now the great cause of the Demon Gate will soon be realized, and the slender ......"
The old man stood up abruptly and bowed down to Li Xianxian: "Father-in-law asks for the fulfillment of Xian Xian. ā
Li Xianxian screamed in fright: "Father-in-law, what do you have to say, don't scare Xian Xian?
The old man stood up: "Xian Xian, are you really my good daughter?" His face suddenly showed excitement and said: "Xian Xian, if things go well, my father-in-law will make you a top master." A few years ago, my father-in-law inadvertently got a secret book of "Pure Yin Divine Skill", which was the unique martial art of Qin Ziyue, the 'Xuantian Jade Girl' a hundred years ago. When you're done helping your father-in-law, stay with me!"
Li Xianxian's face was not dry with tears, and he said respectfully: "Thank you, father-in-law." ā
The old man smiled and said: "Xian Xian, that Ruhui girl, you don't have to worry, my father-in-law has already instructed Lu Buping and Cheng Ming to teach her different martial arts, and after you successfully practice the "Pure Yin Divine Skill", let her accompany you out of the ghost domain." ā
Li Xianxian's face suddenly broke into a smile: "The righteous girl obeys the order!"
The old man nodded: "Xian Xian, you and me." ā

Following the old man into the forbidden place, Li Xian Xian looked nervous, her eyes wandered around, and she felt the yin wind covering her whole body, and the bloody pictures made her feel full of joy and vomiting, and her heart was extremely uncomfortable!
Entering the land of the Demon Source and looking at a pool of black water, Li Xian Xian felt even more nervous, and couldn't help but ask: "Father-in-law, how can Xian Xian help you? What is this place?"
The old man smiled and said: "This is the source of the Demon Gate? Practicing Demon Skills inside is a hundred times that of the outside, and only the master of the Demon Gate in each generation is eligible for this treatment?"
Li Xianxian looked at the water of the Demon Source, and didn't know what the righteous master wanted him to help him do? As a dignified generation of Demon Emperor, what else in the world could he not do? What could he do to help his father-in-law?
Li Xian's thoughts fluctuated, and he was at a loss for a while, waiting for the arrangement of fate.
The old man condensed and said: "Slender Fiber, this matter is indeed a bit dangerous, but the righteous father still hopes that you can help me, if you can successfully complete the task, the righteous father will worship you as a holy daughter." From now on, there will be less than one person in the ghost realm and more than 10,000 people. ā
Li Xianxian said respectfully: "Xianxian is willing to serve his father-in-law. ā
The old man said: "This demon source water is extremely catastrophic, at the bottom of its pool there is the source of the most gloomy place in the world, there is a flower of the demon source, now the fruit of the demon source will be ripe, my father-in-law hopes that you will go up and help me get it." Remember, you need to enter the land of the Demon Source naked, and the fruit of the Demon Source needs to be held by your lips and nourished with pure yin qi so that it will not melt. As long as you take the fruit of the demon source, your father-in-law will worship you as a holy daughter and teach you the "Pure Yin Divine Skill". ā
Li Xian bit her lips tightly, although she didn't understand why her father-in-law couldn't take away the Demon Source Fruit by herself, it must be extremely dangerous! But in order to repay her father's kindness, she had to do it, and for the sake of freedom, she had to fight with her life.
Li Xianxian bowed to the old man, then walked lightly to the edge of the magic pool, gently took off the dress on his body, revealing a neck as white as a swan and a carcass like pure jade, jumped into the pool naked like a mermaid, and dived towards the bottom of the pool.
When Li Xianxian dived into the pool, a black mist drifted in, gradually converging into a figure, and laughed: "What a pure yin body, what a beautiful embryo? ā
The old man said indifferently: "That's a beauty nest, a hero's mound." Is it difficult to climb beyond the shadowless realm in this life?"
Li Xianxian dived into the bottom of the pool, and an extremely cold breath came to her face, although it was a pure yin body, she also felt a cold that sparked into her heart, piercing her body like a needle.
Suddenly, a powerful vortex appeared, it seemed to spin very slowly, but when you approached it, its fierce and violent qi rushed into the sky, like a mysterious black hole capable of devouring all living things, like a ferocious beast opening its bloody mouth, waiting for the arrival of its prey. As soon as Li Xian Xian approached the swirling wave, the person was rushed up, and was violently impacted by the whirlpool, and suddenly her blood boiled and her head was dizzy, and she instantly left the swirling wave and rose to the water.
Poking his head out, the old man looked at her anxiously: "Xian Xian, be careful." The powerful power of the whirlwind also alarmed him, and his heart was very worried.
Li Xianxian took a sharp breath and dived into the water again. Her beautiful eyes stared fiercely at the swirling whirlpool, she remembered the death of her mother and her father, as long as she took the fruit of the demon source and learned the "Pure Yin Divine Skill", she would definitely help them avenge their hatred. Li Xian's lips have turned black ink, and his body is also showing patches of cold air, and if he doesn't take out the source fruit, he will become an ice sculpture.
Li Xianxian stared at the whirlpool, his body quickly stepped forward, and then his whole body turned with the whirlpool like a mermaid, and rushed over in an instant. The whirlpool is still fierce, but no matter how you catch it, you can't swallow Li Xian Xian's body, because Li Xian also swims along the flow of the whirlpool, it is slow and she is slow, it is fast and she is fast, it rotates and she also rotates, and gradually with the sharp rotation of the vortex, she finally succeeds in rushing into the land of the demon source.
The Land of the Demon Source was very quiet and crystal clear, except for the bubbling and slow outward bubbling of the source, emitting a misty gas that filled the entire source. At the source of this bubbling flow stood a small green tree, it was only a foot high, and the green branches grew dense green and shiny leaves, and in the dense leaf there faintly appeared two green fruits, the fruit was the size of a fist, crystal clear, green and transparent, and in the fruit faintly flowed a clump of green things, like a lovely child.
The land of the Demon Source is even colder, if Li Xian Xian is not a pure yin body, she is afraid that she will be frozen into an ice sculpture in an instant, but Rao is like this, her whole body has gradually become tired and weak, and she seems to want to fall asleep.
Li Xian bit her lip fiercely, thinking that her father had mentioned that Yuan Guo must be held by his mouth, otherwise he would turn into a sun. She didn't mind opening her cherry mouth and biting off the fruit path, holding the source fruit in her mouth, when the cold air entered her body, she was dizzy, and a force that desperately wanted to sleep scared her to swallow it accidentally, and her face changed instantly: "It's suffered!"
Suddenly, her body became heavier and stiffer, and the swaying green leaves seemed to sing a lullaby, urging her to fall asleep quickly. The little tree was also shaking, like a little baby smiling at her with its soft little hands, and suddenly Li Xianxian fell into a hallucination, her eyes became confused, and her body was gradually shrouded in a cloud of fog, and she was crumbling. As if hypnotized by Genki, she quickly fell asleep and never woke up again.
Suddenly, she listened to a voice, like her mother's voice, and a loving smile appeared on her beautiful and haggard face: "Xian Xian, you have to listen to your father's words, don't be naughty!" In an instant, the camera turned again, revealing her father's painful eyes: "Xian Xian, Daddy ......"
"Mother...... Daddy......" Li Xian bit the tip of her tongue sharply, the severe pain brought her consciousness back, she opened her mouth and bit the only source fruit again, and then turned her head and swam out, rushing forward with the last of her strength.
The whirlpool came again, and she rushed madly towards the whirlpool, which slammed into her soft body, and she was swept to the surface by the whirlpool that swirled rapidly.
Finally looking forward to the appearance of Li Xian Xian through the autumn water, the old man's heart finally relaxed, and a happy smile appeared on his face.
The shadow hurriedly urged: "Shi Chong, send the slender girl quickly, otherwise she will soon fall asleep, and the source fruit will gradually be taken away by her!"
When the old man heard this, he hurriedly used his magic skills to send Xian Xian ashore. Li Xian's slender body trembled slightly, and Bai Yu's body was already cyan, as if he had exhausted the strength of his whole body.
The old man smiled and said, "Xian Xian, spit out the source fruit!"
Li Xianxian nodded, opened his mouth and spit out the source fruit, a cloud of black mist rolled it up and flew towards the old man, and then the source fruit turned into countless pieces, sprinkled on the old man's body, and slowly penetrated into his body, and the shadow said urgently: "Quickly enter and absorb the source fruit." ā
At this time, Li Xianxian suddenly heard a hoarse voice, she didn't know who it was, because she was physically and mentally exhausted, she just wanted to sleep well, and didn't want to wake up again. In the haze, with a happy smile on her cheeks, she slowly smiled and fell asleep!
The whole demon source was silent, and it was extremely quiet! A floating shadow swirled around, looking at the beautiful woman who fell asleep like white jade on the ground, and couldn't help but sigh softly: "Poor ...... It's a pity ......"
The shadow suddenly changed into a pair of hands to hold Li Xian Xian and put on a snow-white dress for her, and then Li Xian Xian flew up out of thin air, flew very high, and gradually flew in, in a grotto in the cave, there was a crystal clear ice coffin in the grotto, the shadow put Xian Xian into the ice coffin, and said softly: "Slender girl, everything depends on you, we can't do anything!" After speaking, the shadow gradually disappeared......
The Demon Source was extremely quiet! Only the old man who had settled down and Li Xian Xian who was sleeping in the ice coffin remained.
When the old man awakened, the world would be earth-shattering and shocking, and the beautiful Li Xian in the ice coffin was sleeping quietly, still smiling with joy on her lips, as if waiting for a prince to wake her up, and to be as happy as his father and mother.
