"Elder Tianji, just now I heard Senior Sister Bai Zhen say that you predicted that there was something wrong in the sky, what is going on?"

"Speaking of this celestial phenomenon is also very strange, last night I took out the sun and moon seven astrolabe as usual and placed it in the Tianji Pillar, the sun and moon seven astrolabe pointers pointed to the direction of the East China Sea, I was about to calculate, but I didn't expect that the sun and moon seven astrolabe pointers suddenly turned rapidly, and after a while it was broken into two halves, and today, the big pillar of the Tianji Pillar was broken, and I didn't have time to find out the reason. The Heavenly Machine Daoist said slowly.

Hearing this, Ling Huayin raised her head and looked at the tallest pillar in the heavenly machine, and indeed found that a huge crack appeared on the pillar.

"Has it never happened before that a pillar broke?"

"No, the Tianji Pillar is made of materials from the house where the prince of the Dragon Palace lives, how can you say that it will be broken. "Everyone knows that it is impossible for people on this earth to see where the prince of the Dragon Palace lives, and it is impossible to use the materials of other people's palaces, this Tianji Dao Chief is obviously talking nonsense again, but the Tianji Pillar is indeed not just an ordinary stone, and the quality can still withstand boasting.

"Hmm...... Can that still be remedied?" Ling Huayin couldn't demolish him in front of outsiders, so she cooperated with him to continue.

"The remedy is that it can't be remedied, and it can be used reluctantly, as for my sun, moon and seven astrolabes, I have to wait until I meet a good spirit stone to repair it as before, and the Qinghui immortals just gave me a few, and I will use it first. Elder Tianji's seemingly unintentional words led the topic to Situ Yan again.

Ling Huayin looked at Situ Yan and saw that he was still with clear eyebrows, looking at herself with a smile.

"I'm still busy repairing my sun, moon and seven astrolabes, so I'll take my leave first. Elder Linghua entertained the Qinghui immortals on my behalf. After that, Elder Tianji slowly held the spirit stone and wanted to go back, and said to Su Mu: "Young man, you come too." ”

Su Mu said "ah", as if he was reluctant, so he glanced at Ling Huayin, and saw that Ling Huayin didn't say anything, so he followed the Tianji Dao Chief.

There are only Ling Huayin and Situ Yan left on the platform.

"Why are you here?" In fact, Ling Huayin wanted to ask when Situ Yan would come back.

Situ Yan smiled and said: "Remembering what I promised Linghua, I had hurried back the day before yesterday, but the road was far away, and I only arrived at Zhonghuang Mountain today, and I was afraid that Linghua you were already on the way, so I simply waited in Xianze Palace." Linghua won't blame me for breaking my word, right?" Speaking of this, he was actually cautious, for fear that Linghuayin would blame him by mistake.

Seeing that he still cared about what he said that day, Ling Huayin's heart was quite warm, and she shook her head and said, "No." Now that you're back, what's the catch?"

"It's a long story, so it's not too late for us to find a place to sit and talk. ”

"Okay, let's go to my Qingluan Palace. ”

"I haven't come back for a long time, and Qingluan Hall is strange. Ling Huayin looked at the house she had lived in before and couldn't help but feel emotional.

Situ Yan smiled and said, "Your elder's residence is different, but it is much better than your house in the Great Barren Mountain. ”

"I used to think it was good, but now I'm in a different mood, and I don't think it's good. Fortunately, he also accepted an apprentice, with Eluo and Yintao as companions, and the Qingluan Hall would not be deserted. This is the only place where Ling Huayin finds solace.

"For ten years, you took good care of Su Mu. I didn't expect that so long would pass in the world when I went. Situ Yan was half sighing and half smiling.

"What happened in the past ten years? Did you find Lin Ge?"

"I didn't see her in person, but she seemed to be deliberately not seeing me, and sent the mirror demon to take me to a place where I was trapped for ten days, only to find out that ten years had passed in the world. Luckily, I didn't miss the time I agreed with you. Situ Yan said with relief.

Ling Huayin pondered: "It is rumored that one day in the sky and one year on the earth, could it be that the place where the mirror demon trapped you is in the sky?"

Situ Yan frowned and said, "It's not impossible, but the place where I'm trapped is not like the world you are in now, it's closer to the illusion, and I found something there that you were looking for." ”

Ling Huayin hurriedly asked, "What is it?"

"The Great Wilderness Map of your Xianze Palace. ”

Ling Huayin shook her head and asked, "Where is it?"

Situ Yan took out a yellow scroll from Sumeru and handed it to Ling Huayin, who opened it and saw that it was indeed a great wilderness map that had been stolen for many years.

Ling Huayin said solemnly: "This matter must be clarified as soon as possible." She was about to take the Great Wilderness Map to find Shan Liqun, when she suddenly thought of something and paused, "Then again, why did Lin Ge deliberately let you get the Great Wilderness Map? Lin Ge was once suppressed in the Great Wilderness Map, and according to common sense, it should be impossible for her to send this thing back by herself." ”

Situ Yan touched his chin and pondered for a moment, "I also think it's unreasonable, but right now, she is really helping us." ”

Ling Huayin shook her head and said, "Lin Ge is the enemy of the Immortal Family, knowing that you and Xianze Palace are on the same line, it is impossible to help us, could it be another purpose?" Ling Huayin thought for a while and proposed: "I think I still have to go to the Great Wilderness Map to take a look." You stay here, I'll go in and see. ”

"I'm going with you. ”

Ling Huayin thought that it would be better to have one more person, so she agreed. After a while, Ling Huayin cast a spell, and the two of them entered the Great Wilderness Map.

Ling Huayin had only heard from the master that the climate in the Great Wilderness Map was much colder and harsher than that in the extreme north, and it snowed all year round, and most of the demons who were imprisoned in it were frozen into stones and buried in the old snow. Ling Huayin is still only a legend, but now that she has witnessed the ice and snow in front of her, she knows that what her master said is true. Ling Huayin saw that there were a lot of ice cubes hanging in the air, and there seemed to be something in the ice cubes, so she walked over to take a look, only to find that the ice cubes were full of low-flying birds and beasts, and they were frozen into ice during the flight.

"It's really strange and pitiful, I didn't expect the environment here to be so bad. The dry cold wind blew Ling Huayin's cheeks painfully, and her voice was almost drowned out by the wind.

Ling Huayin looked at Situ Yan and saw Situ Yan staring into the distance, as if she didn't hear her words.

"What are you looking at?" Ling Huayin walked to Situ Yan's side, followed his gaze, and saw a black tower in the distance, which stood particularly eye-catching in the white snow.

"Let's go over there and have a look. Ling Huayin saw that Situ Yan was fascinated and proposed.

The two walked to the front of the Black Tower, and saw that the spirit rune that was originally attached to the door of the Black Tower had been torn apart, as if it had been artificially destroyed. Just as he was about to break in, Situ Yan grabbed Ling Huayin and said in a deep voice: "I'll go in first." ”

As soon as I opened the dusty door, all the lights inside were lit up, and although it was very dim, I could still see. There didn't seem to be any breath of living creature in the tower, except for the chains and broken talismans around it, only the thick dust mixed with the smell of blood. As soon as she smelled the smell of blood, Ling Huayin's pores opened up in an instant.

"There's a remnant of demonic energy here. Situ Yan said, and walked to a wall, "It's blood." ”

Ling Huayin hurriedly looked over and saw a few lines of big characters written in blood on the wall: If it is not my race, its heart will be different, the three palaces of Zhonghuang Mountain slaughtered my same clan, boasting that the world is righteous, and its heart is vicious, it is really difficult to tolerate, this revenge will not be avenged, it is not my demon clan. Lin Ge left the word.

"There are still words here. Situ Yan wiped the other wall with his hand, and it was written: If any of your fellow clansmen see this, please burn my bones, and don't let that monster come and eat me.

"There's that too. Situ Yan continued to look to the side and saw that it was written on the wall: Although we are demons, we have never done anything bad, why do we do this to us?

After reading those words, Ling Huayin couldn't help frowning, and looking a little lower, there was another text, the handwriting was very blurry, and there was a pool of dried blood on it.

Isn't Jiuxiao our god, why hasn't he come to save us?

"Did you find anything else?" asked Ling Huayin to Situ Yan on the side. For some reason, when she saw these blood words, she felt panicked for no reason.

Situ Yan didn't speak, he stared at a wall, then looked at Hui Huayin, and motioned for her to come and see for herself.

I saw that on that wall, all the crimes that had happened here: they locked up the demon spirits of all ages here, tied a lock heart bell to the feet of each demon spirit, and released a spirit dog infected by the demon qi inside, locked it to a pillar in the middle, and did not give it food for several days. The greyhounds were infected by demonic energy, and no longer had the ability to see, nor could they distinguish smells, so they could only rely on the sound of bells to discern the location of their prey.

This tower suppressed the power of the demon spirit, and no one dared to move.

On the fourth day, there was a sound of Xun outside, and the greyhound suddenly went berserk and bit off the rope.

A small child was frightened and made a sound.

The hunt began.

Ling Huayin couldn't bear to think about it, how those demon spirits died in the end, there was no mention in the blood, and the spirit dog didn't know what the final outcome would be, but everything here finally turned to dust.

Situ Yan looked at the words on the wall, silent, his expression was cold, and the corners of his mouth with a smile on weekdays were slightly pursed into a downward arc, like a cold stone carving.

Ling Huayin had never seen Situ Yan with such an expression, Situ Yan was also a distraction from the shadow, and it was normal for her to have compassion for the demon spirit, but if something happened here, she didn't want to see it. Perhaps, letting Situ Yan see all this is the ultimate goal of Lin Ge.

"There's no one here, Situ Yan, let's go out. "It's chilling here, and Ling Huayin doesn't want to stay here for a moment.

Situ Yan didn't want to embarrass Ling Huayin, so he left the tower with Ling Huayin.

Ling Huayin stood on the snow and looked at the slowly closing doorway, feeling that her heart was as heavy as the door.

"The demon locked up here, the encounter is really embarrassing. Is the truth really as said in the tower?" Ling Huayin didn't believe it at all, but she couldn't believe that those things were done by the three palaces of Zhonghuang Mountain.

"Let's go. Situ Yan kept looking at the door, and finally looked at Ling Huayin with an indescribable sad gaze, and then walked away.

At that moment, Ling Huayin suddenly felt that perhaps she and Situ Yan had begun to drift apart, and they were no longer as pure as before.
