Xiaoliu Town has now become a dead town, the town is scattered, fireworks are lit, the ground is stained with blood, just a day has passed, the town is completely lifeless.

When Xiu Yu and the two came to the town, the fog had long since dissipated, but the blood stains on the ground and the blood in the air all told the two that everyone in the town had fled or died.

After the two looked around carefully, they still didn't find any living people, and some of the old people who stayed in the village died tragically at home, and their hearts were hollowed out by ghosts.

Overnight, the Phantom slaughtered the rest of the town.

The two came to the bamboo forest again.

Xiu Yu stood calmly beside the old man's corpse, looking at the yellow talisman that the old man was holding tightly, this was the talisman that Zi Mo gave to the old man, but it had no effect.

The old man died very quietly, his throat was scratched by the phantom, and when he was dying, he stiffened the yellow talisman in his hand, and his heart was taken away by the phantom at the last moment when Xiu Yu arrived.

"I want to kill it!" Xiuyu's voice choked.

Zi Mo couldn't bear to look directly at the old man's body, even if he guessed that the old man might be killed, but when it happened, it was really unacceptable.

However, she had already accepted it at least once, so this time she was able to stay calm, and she spoke softly: "The Phantom is a murderous creature that has disappeared for a long time, and its traces are difficult to catch in the first place, and it is only possible to find its lair. ”

"Why does it hunt and kill people? Does it just like to eat people's hearts?" Xiu Yu asked, standing up.

Zi Mo shook his head: "There is a reason why the phantom can be ordered as a murderous creature-"

"In a very long time ago, there was a phantom that was almost at its peak, it was a particularly dark era in the world, that phantom was almost invincible in the world, and most of the powerful qi refiners, cultivators who cultivated to a high level, were basically found by it and became its rations. ”

Zi Mo fell into the memory.

"I have read many records about the phantom killing in ancient books, and it is said that at the beginning of the phantom's appearance, it will be accompanied by the death of countless living beings, not only people, but also beasts, spirit beasts, demon beasts, all flesh and blood creatures will be targeted by it, sucking its essence and blood for its growth. ”

Xiu Yu frowned slightly: "You mean, the phantom grows by sucking essence blood?"

Zi Mo nodded in agreement.

"There are no realm barriers to the Phantom, as long as it is supplied with a sufficient amount of essence blood, it can grow infinitely......"

Xiu Yu said clearly: "No wonder, it wants to kill these ordinary people and eat their hearts." If it is a Qi Refiner, or some cultivators, they themselves are out of the category of ordinary people, and their blood is rich in power, but it is impossible for the Phantom to hunt cultivators with great fanfare now, so they can only ask for the second, starting from ordinary people!"

The heart is a place where a person's essence gathers.

Maybe the creatures in this area were all killed by the Phantom.

Zi Mo nodded again and added, "Not only humans, but also beasts, as long as the creatures it targets will become its prey." ”

"The Phantom who knows how to drive away disasters and avoid disasters and grow quietly is very terrifying, because it will hunt and kill living beings in places that no one would expect, and then devour the essence and blood, grow rapidly, and over time, when someone finds out, the Phantom has been a terrifying slaughter. ”

"So we have to kill it before it grows!"

Xiuyu, who knew that the phantom was so harmful, made up his mind.

That's what you say, but it's hard to do.

Zi Mo just shook his head helplessly: "It would be nice if I found it earlier." Now I am not the Phantom's opponent at all, and after casting the Forbidden Secret Method twice, my cultivation realm has fallen to the third order, and now we have to think more about how to avoid the Phantom's sense of smell and leave this place safely. ”

For a moment, both fell silent.

Yes, they are no match for the Phantom at all, and if they are found by the Phantom, then their fate is no better than that of the dead.

After a while, Xiu Yu picked up the old man on the ground and walked out of the door.

Verdant green forests, grave slopes erected. The two of them were in the bamboo forest, where the bamboo shoots grew the most, and put the old man into the soil.

......

Soon, night fell quietly, and Xiuyu Zimo and the two did not separate, but in the same room, they each meditated and rested.

Tonight's moon is half incomplete, and the faint moonlight reflects the green space in the bamboo forest, and wisps of hazy mist loom in the bamboo forest, adding a secluded and mysterious color to the bamboo forest.

In the middle of the night, there was a little fog in the bamboo forest.

The mist seemed to come from the fireworks of the Nine Shadows, the breath of hell, with an icy coldness, surging towards the bamboo forest.

Outside, a ghostly shadow sometimes appeared in the moonlight, and sometimes wandered away from the bamboo forest, like a shadow, and the ghost was gone.

The pitch-black robe, with a terrifying black aura on his body, and under the long sleeves, a pair of cold and piercing claws cut off a green bamboo......

"Evil beast!

A loud voice dispelled the fog of the bamboo forest, and the phantom made a strange sound of '桀塀' from his mouth, exhaling black air from his mouth, and teleported several directions in the bamboo forest.

I saw a Taoist priest in a golden robe descending from the sky, holding a gossip instrument in one hand and a peachwood sword in the other, emitting golden light, like an immortal, dispelling the fog of the bamboo forest.

The golden light and shadow and the dark shadow were shining in the forest, chasing and seeking, and a large area of bamboo forest cracked when it heard the sound.

Xiu Yu and Zi Mo were startled, and hurriedly ran outside the house, just in time to see two lights and shadows colliding with each other in the bamboo forest.

Golden Light and Shadow chase the Dark Phantom!

"Drink... Escape from the beast!"

With a loud shout from the Taoist priest, the fog in the bamboo forest quickly disappeared. The golden light on his body illuminated the night and dispelled the fog, and the dark shadow could not be hidden under the golden light.

A golden light from the Taoist priest hit the shadow above the bamboo forest, and then the shadow fell to the ground.

The dark shadow turned into a cloud of mist and disappeared into the land, where it had fled.

Xiu Yu's eyes lit up, and he looked at the golden shadow in the bamboo forest without blinking.

"This Taoist priest was able to beat the phantom to the ground and escape!?"

"It's incredible!"

Zi Mo is face showed hope, and he wondered who that golden light was.

Soon, the golden light flew from the bamboo forest and landed in front of the two of them.

The golden light of the Taoist priest dissipated, and he looked at the two of them in surprise: "Huh... It's really strange that there are still people alive here?"

"And they're two young men with strong blood!"

The Taoist priest looked weird.

Xiu Yu took away his expression, and was about to ask the other party's Dao number, but who knew that Zi Mo was the first to say: "Dare to ask Daoist, but the Dao Palace people under Kunlun Mountain?"

Xiu Yu's face was puzzled.

The Taoist priest said strangely: "Yo... Little girl, do you know anyone from the Dao Palace?"

Zi Mo shook his head and said with some regret: "It is rumored that the immortals under Kunlun Mountain have come out, and the Great Dao of Demon Suppression and Demon Eradication is also." The Dao Palace is famous all over the world, just ask ten thousand people in the world, who doesn't know the name of the palace immortal family?"

"Oh..."Hearing this, the Taoist priest became a little interested, why didn't he know when the Dao Palace became so famous?

He happily asked, "Then do you know who I am?"

Zi Mo looked adoring, and opened his mouth to chant: "Red Fire Rabbit, Huangpi High Disciple, Golden Robe Immortal, Purple Gold Dao Robe." ”

"The immortal family is in a golden robe, holding a gossip instrument, holding a peachwood sword, and the phantom fled in a hurry with a snap of his fingers, and at first glance he is a Taoist immortal with extraordinary status in the Dao Palace. ”

Zi Mo pointed to the Taoist priest's wooden sword with one hand and the hexagram plate with the other, and talked eloquently in his mouth.

"Haha..."The Taoist priest laughed heartily, and the depression that had been escaped by the phantom was swept away, and his face was full of smiles, full of interest in the little girl in front of him.

"The little girl seems to be a fellow believer, she really knows the current affairs, knows the heavenly principles, and knows the Dao Palace. ”

He straightened his waist, pointed to the sky with one hand, crossed his waist with the other, and blurted out proudly: "——This Dao is one of the thirty-six golden body demon subduers in the Dao Palace, known as the seven-step Dao man. ”

Zi Mo looked at the Taoist priest and laughed heartily, she also opened her eyebrows and hugged her fists and said: "It turned out to be a famous seven-step Taoist, I have admired it for a long time, I really can't see the demeanor of immortals." ”

The seven-step Taoist laughed and said, "Have you ever heard of my name?"

Zi Mo opened his mouth lightly, swept away his sickness, and Xiu Yu beside him was stunned, and he didn't figure out what Zi Mo was going to do for a while.

"It is rumored that the seven-step Taoist people have vast magical powers and profound Taoism. Thirteen years ago, the first time out of the mountain the Seven Steps of the Taoist subdued a demon, it was a sensation at the time, and eight years ago, he killed the demon with his bare hands, and it was even more famous all over the world. Unexpectedly, after many years, Daoist, you went out of the mountain again, did you just want to take away the phantom?"

The Taoist priest touched his beard inscrutablely......
