When you come to the periphery of the demon world, there is an overgrown swamp in front of you, except for a bluestone path covered with moss next to it, and there are no other demons in sight. And on a rainy day when you should have seen a lot of demons, it was surprisingly quiet here, which couldn't help but make Situ Yan a little puzzled.

Eluo seemed to notice the abnormality around her, and immediately appeared from the gourd, looked around for a while, and then glanced at the qin on Situ Yan's back, and said loudly: "Hey, do you usually show your weapons when you go out?"

"Weapon?, Miss Eluo said, but this is the qin?" Situ Yan asked uncertainly, holding the qin behind him in front of him.

"Otherwise, there has been a myth in the demon world, in ancient times, there was a Lingyin God of War in the heavenly realm, and there was a white-clothed immortal who was good at music under her command, and once subdued the mount of the Demon Emperor Jiuxiao with a song of demon suppression, Zan Yi, although Zan Yi was only a mount, but its power was no less than that of the demon god under the Demon Emperor. The immortal because he killed Zan Yi, so the name shocked the two worlds of demons and demons, as long as he went to where he held the qin, there would be no more demons haunted, and then the spirit of the god died in the gods and demons war, this immortal did not know where to go, but whenever there was a white-clothed immortal with the qin passed, the nearby demons and monsters were closed, which seems to have become a long-term tacit understanding between many weak demon clans. E Luo glanced at the lyre in Situ Yan's hand and said, "Probably the demons here think that you are the immortal, and they don't dare to show up easily." ”

Situ Yan felt that the name Zan Yi was a little familiar, and he didn't know where he had heard it, so he was confused in his mind, so he half-believed, hid the qin in his storage Sumeru, and asked, "What is the name of this immortal?"

Eluo thought for a while and said: "I also heard the demons in the clan when I was very young, and I can't remember the name anymore, these are things that have been a long time ago, and over time, everyone has gradually forgotten them." ”

Situ Yan was silent for a while and said, "Indeed, many things will be forgotten with the passage of time. We've reached the Demon Realm, where are we going next?"

Elo pointed to the bluestone path in the distance and said, "Follow that path to the depths of the dense forest among the demons, where is the nest of the demons. ”

Under the guidance of Eluo, Situ Yan went straight to the depths of the dense forest, occasionally met a few little demons, at first sight of Situ Yan, a living person, he took a few more glances and left, but there was a bold snake spirit who twisted his waist and swam past Situ Yan, and joked: "Yo, this little brother is so handsome, the slave family likes it very much! Do you want to taste the most lively thing in the world with the slave family?"

Elo couldn't help but cover her mouth, and watched the play beside her, wanting to see how this serious immortal coped with it, but she didn't expect the immortal to answer calmly: "I'm really sorry, I already have a wife room below, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint this girl." ”

"That's a shame. The serpent sighed and walked away.

Elo was a little surprised and asked, "You really have a wife?"

Situ Yan smiled warmly, shook his head, and walked forward.

Walking to a ruined temple, Situ Yan stopped vigilantly, and E Luo appeared again, frowning and saying, "There seems to have been a fierce fight here. ”

Situ Yan pushed the door, and the door immediately collapsed, and a strong musty smell came from inside, as if no one had been here for a long time. A wisp of demon spirits that had not yet floated away was about to take the opportunity to slip away, and was caught by Situ Yan, and immediately turned into air when it touched the palm of his hand, and several pictures quickly flashed through Situ Yan's mind, Situ Yan said to Eluo: "There are still some thoughts left in the demon spirits before their death, there were humans here a long time ago, and they were dressed as a certain Taoist priest from Xianze Palace, he let the demons kill each other, leaving only some demons who were willing to leave with him." ”

"Can you see it clearly?"

"I only saw the back, it was about Xianze Palace, let's go back to the world first and inform Linghua of this matter. Situ Yan suggested.

"Why don't you go and ask around? Maybe there's some clue. Elo said.

Situ Yan touched his chin, looked around, and said with a smile: "Good idea, but who else here can we inquire about?"

Elo followed his gaze and glanced at the door, and found a little demon who fled in a hurry, and immediately chased him out, but the little demon had already run away. At this moment, Situ Yan walked out slowly, glanced left and right, and the little demons who were hiding in the dark to observe were all hidden. E Luo stared at Situ Yan with strange eyes and said, "They seem to be afraid of you?"

Situ Yan spread his hands helplessly, also with a puzzled expression, "We are not like you demons and demon power exposed, my immortal power is well restricted, and I don't have any demon collection magic weapons on my body, I don't know why they are afraid of me." ”

Oro stared at him for a long time, but couldn't see anything, when she caught a glimpse of a dark shadow, and said, "There's a demon there!" As soon as the words fell, she chased after him.

Situ Yan just wanted to say something to stop him, but E Luo had already disappeared into the black mist. Situ Yan had no choice but to follow the original path to find it, but as he walked, he found that he was not advancing, but had been going backwards, and he didn't know when the rain had stopped, so Situ Yan stopped suddenly. Suddenly, the already dim street lamps on both sides of the path were extinguished, and the darkness was overwhelming, and the surroundings were silent. Situ Yan stood calmly in place, only to hear the sound of "click" footsteps in front of him, not like human footsteps, but like some kind of beast. The sound grew closer, like danger approaching. Situ Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, and vaguely saw a huge shadow in the black mist.

The behemoth gradually revealed its true body, it was originally a demon beast, resembling a tiger, but there were three prismatic mirrors on its forehead, emitting a blue glow.

"Mirror Demon?" Situ Yan didn't know how such a rare big demon could appear here, so he immediately summoned the lyre, staring motionless ahead, ready to face the battle at any time.

"Hehe, don't be nervous, I'm not a bad demon, I just want to see what kind of person makes those timid children among demons panic, it turns out that he is just a mortal immortal with the smell of people. The mirror demon's hoarse voice gradually approached, and soon it moved in front of Situ Yan, sniffed Situ Yan with its nose, and circled around him again.

Situ Yan's eyes followed the mirror demon, not daring to relax in the slightest. The mirror demon laughed compassionately twice and said, "You are very similar to the adult I served in the past, but your soul power is far behind. Young man, where are you from?"

If I really want to give an answer, it is Qinghuitai, which was my former residence and the place where I practiced for the longest time. Situ Yan replied.

"I have lived for thousands of years, I have seen many mortal immortals, I know the breath on their bodies, you are very different from the mortal immortals I have seen, I guess the taste must be very tempting to some demons......"

Situ Yan smiled: "It's a pity, I don't want to be the food for any demons." You say I'm different from others, so what's wrong with me?"

"Normal people have three souls and seven spirits, which can be regarded as a complete life, but you are the only one who lacks an important soul, and the seven spirits are not restless, every time the moon eclipse, your seven spirits will leave the body by themselves, and you need to be able to gather the soul grass to imprison the seven spirits in the body, do you think what I said is right?" The mirror demon's hoarse laughter and smug tone were very harsh in this silent place.

Situ Yan lowered his head and smiled, noncommittal, but the eyes of the mirror demon were a little more vigilant.

The mirror demon can see people's hearts, it seems that this is not a rumor, but the mirror demon is not omniscient, Situ Yan just restrained his mind a little, and the mirror demon can enter seamlessly. Situ Yan thought to himself that he still overestimated it.

"Are you tempting me?" the Mirror Demon's tone was raised, a little dissatisfied, "Hmph, even if you gather your mind, I can guess that you are looking for a stone that can gather souls for a long time, but unfortunately that stone is only one, only in the earth realm, and you are an immortal, you can't go to the earth realm, so you are trying every means to find a way to the earth realm, am I right?"

Situ Yan only spoke at this time: "Yes, I am indeed looking for that stone, I wonder if you can solve my doubts?" He didn't believe that the mirror demon had just come to see who the intruder was.

The Mirror Demon smiled, "I don't know how to let you enter the Earth Realm directly, but I can provide you with a way to gather souls more easily than that stone. ”

Situ Yan's eyes moved slightly, "What method?"

"There is a holy sword handed down from ancient times in Zhonghuang Mountain, the name Ink Soul Sword, forged by the Ink Soul Jade of the Three Emperors period, originally controlled by the previous head of Xianze Palace, and passed on to her disciples after her death, if you can get the Ink Soul Sword, you will have the power to summon souls, then why should you go to the earth again?"

Situ Yan shook his head and said: "The Ink Soul Sword is related to the peace of the two worlds, how can I ignore all living beings for my own selfishness, if the Ink Soul Sword is obtained by me, and unfortunately used by the gangsters, then I am not guilty." ”

"With so many worries, why is it a big deal?!Aren't you afraid that your soul will disperse and become a walking corpse before you find that stone, and waste your years of hard work?" Seeing that Situ Yan was indifferent, the mirror demon began to show a fierce light.

"Thank you for your advice, but what I practice is the way of the common way, which is different from yours. Situ Yanyi verbally rejected the mirror demon's proposal, hugged the qin and turned to leave.

After a few steps, there was a chilling laugh from the mirror demon behind him, "The common way you cultivate?haha, I don't know where the blood spirit bead on your body came from, condensing the blood of thousands of people to cast a soul, is this also what you call the common way?"

Situ Yan's footsteps froze, and he looked back suddenly, only to see that the blood bead on his body had arrived in front of the mirror demon at some point, his fingers quickly plucked the strings, and suddenly, the sound of the piano sounded, and the surroundings suddenly brightened, and a strong flow of spiritual power instantly swept the position where the mirror demon was standing, but the mirror demon was gone. I only heard the voice of the mirror demon coming from the sky above the demons: "Young man, with your current strength, you can't kill me, the blood spirit bead will be returned to you, what I said today, don't be in a hurry to refuse, after all, the coming day is long, hahaha...... I'm sure you'll come back to me one day. ”

After a while, the surroundings returned to their original state, Situ Yan put away the piano, stepped forward and held the blood spirit bead in the palm of his hand, looking at the bright red color on the bead, as if it was about to drip blood, Situ Yan sighed softly, a touch of unclear emotion was fleeting in his eyes, and soon he turned the blood spirit bead into something invisible and put it away, and continued to look for the whereabouts of Eluo.

Walking to the end of the path, Situ Yanfang saw E Luo returning, so he asked her if she had any clues.

Ero shook his head and said, "I was slipped away by that demon and I am not as fast as it, I have asked the demon here, but I can't find any useful news, maybe the demon who knows about the events of that day has already migrated elsewhere." I seem to have felt a spiritual power from somewhere else, but you?"

Situ Yan replied unabashedly: "Well, I met a mirror demon just now, and I started to do it without saying a word, but I let it run away." Since the demons can't find anything, let's go. Situ Yan hated the smell of this place a little, so he quickly slipped away.
