Chapter 5: The Shadow of the Purple Dress

At the time of the fourth watch, the Rizhao Peak of the Great Wilderness Mountain, Ling Huayin was still lying in front of the desk to copy the scriptures as usual, and suddenly heard the sound of "click" outside the window, and I don't know who came to knock on the door so late. Ling Huayin immediately put down the pen in her hand, lifted the sword on the table, walked to the windowsill and looked out, but saw no one. Ling Huayin hurriedly closed the window, and as soon as she turned around, she exclaimed, it turned out that there was an uninvited guest in the room, it was the pink unknown creature beside Situ Yan. Ling Huayin was shocked, then shook her head and smiled, and only after half a day did she hold the hairball that stopped in mid-air.

"Why did you come to me?" asked Ling Huayin as she unconsciously stroked the furball, and the fluffy touch made her immediately forget about the fright she had just received.

Although she knew that the hairball couldn't speak, Ling Huayin continued to talk to herself: "You came here so late, if your master doesn't see you when he comes back, you'll be worried, so let's go back quickly." Saying that, Ling Huayin hugged the hairball to the window, opened the window and let it go, but the hairball "chirped", not only did she not mean to leave, but she also turned around and blinked, and Linghuayin was stunned.

Maybe he thought that Ling Huayin was going to drive it away, but the hairball squeezed out a few tears, and her aggrieved cute appearance made Ling Huayin laugh out loud, and then shook her head helplessly.

"There are such well-behaved and lovely creatures in this world. Well, since you don't want to go, I'll take you in for one night. In fact, Ling Huayin was willing to let it go, and she liked it very much from the first time she saw it.

Ling Huayin took a pen and paper from the table, left a note, and attached a little spiritual power, driving the spiritual power bird to bring the note to Yunmengtai.

At noon on the second day, the owner of the hairball really came, and Linghuayin wanted to return the hairball, but Situ Yan had no intention of bringing it back, and said: "I'm used to being quiet alone, if Linghua girl doesn't dislike it, just take this little thing with you." ”

Ling Huayin was happy in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face, and said, "I have heard that many living beings will recognize the Lord, and since it has lived with you for a while, I am afraid it will not change hands easily. ”

Situ Yan smiled, "Then it's better to see how it decides." Then he said to the pink furball, "Little one, would you like to follow me or Miss Linghua?"

Maoqiu looked at Situ Yan, then at Ling Huayin, and finally rubbed Ling Huayin's hand with a "chirp".

Situ Yan's eyes crooked with a smile, "Miss Linghua, it seems that this little guy will have to ask you to take care of it in the future." ”

Ling Huayin smiled and nodded.

Situ Yan stretched out his hand, and saw a wooden gourd engraved with the symbol of Xianze Palace lying on the palm of his hand, and he said, "I also specially brought a friend of Miss Linghua here today. ”

Ling Huayin looked at the thing in his hand, raised her thin eyebrows slightly, tilted her head suspiciously, and opened her lips slightly, looking very surprised.

Situ Yan smiled and said, "According to Elder Tianji's instructions, in order to prevent Miss Linghua's friend from being too conspicuous, we have to keep her inside for a while, hoping that Miss Linghua will not be surprised." ”

Ling Huayin stared at the gourd for a long time, nodded, and said calmly: "It's okay." As he spoke, he took the gourd and said to Situ Yan: "If the immortals are fine, let's come together." ”

Situ Yan followed Ling Huayin to a waterfall behind the mountain, only to see Ling Huayin go straight through the waterfall, and disappeared after a while, Situ Yan knew that this waterfall was a hidden enchantment, so he followed. It turns out that there is another world in the waterfall, the beautiful trees are verdant, the flowing water is trickling, the waterside is full of blue flowers, the cave is full of spiritual power, nourishing the creatures here, as if it is a space specially opened up by people.

Everywhere Ling Huayin walked, the flowers bloomed even more, as if welcoming her arrival.

"Come out. ”

Ling Huayin opened the stopper of the wooden gourd, and saw a wisp of purple smoke rushing out of the mouth of the gourd, turning into a beautiful woman with a graceful figure, the purple dress moved, her feet did not touch the ground, the purple gauze covered her face, and her hair was like floating clouds. ”

"The same goes for you. Ling Huayin said politely.

"That old man in your Xianze Palace is so hateful, he actually locked me in a gourd and suffocated to death!

As soon as the words fell, Ling Huayin raised her head instantly, and the woman in purple suddenly became pressured, quickly changed the topic, and asked with a smile: "Suddenly came to me, could it be that you have figured it out and want to set a demon binding with me?"

"Demon binding ......" Situ Yan felt familiar when he heard this, so he blurted out.

Only then did the woman in purple notice that there was a person standing behind Ling Huayin, and asked suspiciously: "Hey, there is another person here?" She suddenly felt fresh, glanced Situ Yan up and down, and came to a conclusion, "It turned out to be Ling Huayin's kind, huh...... But there seems to be something different. ”

Situ Yan smiled slightly and introduced himself: "Under Situ Yan, he is a scattered immortal. ”

The woman in purple glanced at him meaningfully, then ignored him and waited for Ling Huayin's reply with a smile.

"Eluo, you and I had an appointment 16 years ago, and I saved your life, and you have to repay me for one thing, but now you can still count?" Ling Huayin asked.

Elo replied with a smile: "Of course I count." But I'd like you to think about demon bondage more than to repay, didn't you say ...... when you used my brooch"

Before Elo could finish speaking, Ling Huayin interrupted her and said to herself: "Just do the number, I want you to help me with one thing now." ”

"Whatever you say, as long as I can do it, I will definitely help. Elo said without hesitation.

"Some of the nightmare in the neighborhood have been acting a little strangely lately, and they can go out during the day without restrictions, I think you can know something. Ling Huayin said, and glanced at Situ Yan.

Situ Yan nodded clearly, and slowly told Eluo what had happened in the past few days.

After hearing this, E Luo pondered for a while, and then said: "I understand, you guess that the locust tree demon spread demonic energy nearby, so that those demons have a chance to take advantage of it and come out to make trouble. ”

"Exactly. Situ Yan nodded.

Eluo smiled at Ling Huayin, "Okay, I can help you, but it's inconvenient for me to move now, so it's better for you to ...... Linghuayin."

Ling Huayin knew what she wanted to say, and immediately said: "I also have difficulty moving, but Situ Yan can take you with me, just tell Situ Yan where you want to go." ”

Hearing this, E Luo immediately opened her mouth, and just as she wanted to say something, she heard Ling Huayin turn around and look at Situ Yan, "What do you think?"

Situ Yan saw that Ling Huayin had already made a decision for herself, and it was not easy to refuse, so he smiled, "That's okay, but you may have wronged Miss Eluo." ”

"Ling Huayin, can't you think of a better way?" As soon as Elo heard that she was going to act with a strange man, she was a little dissatisfied with Ling Huayin's decision made without permission.

"It's the best way to go. Ling Huayin replied simply.

After coming out of the waterfall, Situ Yan couldn't help but ask, "Is that woman a demon?"

Ling Huayin nodded, "Hmm." ”

"I thought that Xianze Palace would not show mercy to these monsters. Situ Yan said.

Ling Huayin looked at the sky and said as she walked: "Originally, Xianze Palace planned to kill her, but I stopped her. 16 years ago, I met Eluo, who fled to the Great Wilderness Mountain, when she was seriously injured and brought a young demon with her, after I bumped into her, not only did she not run away, but begged me to save her sister, and Eluo was willing to exchange her life for a life. I was curious, so I took a look at the little demon and found that it was dying, and not even its wings were intact, and that it was too cruel for a young creature. I was surprised that the demon would hardly show up in front of humans when it was a minor, how could a human have the opportunity to hurt it like this. ”

So Eluo told me that she had fallen in love with a human being, and she was already preparing to marry that person, but she didn't expect the man to listen to the rumors out of nowhere, suspecting that she was a man-eating demon, and that she was combining with people to suck the spiritual power of humans. The man then designed Eluo, and on the day of marriage, he put on a pair of shoes that had been spelled, and wanted to trap Eluo's actions, and invited a few Taoist priests to go to Eluo's so-called mother's house, and when he saw the young demon, he broke off all his limbs and wings, and forced Eluo to show his original form, and Eluo broke off his feet in a fit of rage, broke free from the shackles of the shoes, and killed those people. After that, Oro killed the family members of those Taoist priests one after another. This matter was well known in a radius of 100 miles, and after Xianze Palace learned about it, he sent his disciples down the mountain to chase and kill Eluo. ”

Situ Yan's expression was heavy, and he continued to ask, "After that, you saved their sisters?"

"Oro's sister was so badly wounded that I couldn't do anything about it, and she died soon after. Eluo lost her feet, her wings were also burned by the Dao fire of Xianze Palace, and she could no longer fly freely like other normal demons, I saw that Eluo was pitiful, and I couldn't bear to die with resentment like this, so I agreed with her that she would not continue to harm people in the future, on the condition that she would stay in Xianze Palace and concentrate on cultivation, until she eliminated her anger before she could regain her freedom. However, E Luo was already able to leave Xianze Palace a few years ago, but she no longer had nostalgia for the world. The world is so big, where is home......" Ling Huayin looked up at the sky, her eyes revealing a trace of compassion.

"But the girl seems to be very obsessed with the matter of demon bondage. I have heard that many immortal cultivators in order to obtain a higher level of cultivation, do everything possible to set a demon binding with the big demon, and the demon who sets the demon binding with him can help his power greatly increase, and the demon feeds on the host's spiritual power, and cannot leave the host's spiritual consciousness, until the host dies, this demon can be freed. If it weren't for his willingness, ordinary demons wouldn't trade their freedom. Miss Linghua is already a fairy body, with a long and infinite lifespan, Miss Oro is willing to set a demon binding with you, and must have regarded Miss Linghua as an important friend. Situ Yan said slowly.

“...... It is extremely sad to have no freedom, and how can I deprive others of their freedom for my own selfishness. I would not put any living beings in such a situation unless I had to. Ling Huayin glanced at Situ Yan and lowered her eyes silently, as if she had touched her heart.

Situ Yan had already learned from Elder Tianji about Ling Huayin's current situation when he went to Xianze Palace this time, and he was afraid that she would be depressed because of this, so he didn't mention it anymore. "It's a different day, and rainy days are the most frequent times for the demons, so I think it's time to go to the demon world. ”

The demon world is a channel from the demon world to the human world, and many demons in the demon world will come to the world from there, and many demons who linger in the human world will go to the demon world to find a temporary habitat. Oro said that the demon is turbid, the closest to the demon world, only the night does not see the day, the demon likes to live there, and it was also her childhood lair.

"Although you have Eluo with you, but the demon is not a peaceful place after all, you and Eluo should be more careful. Ling Huayin kindly reminded.

Situ Yan nodded, "I have my own sense of this, and when I inquire clearly, I will bring Miss Eluo back." After that, Situ Yan said goodbye to Ling Huayin for a while, and left the Great Wilderness Mountain with the wooden gourd, and went to the demon world thousands of miles away.
