At dinner time, Qin Xuan sent dinner to Ling Huayin's room, but when Du Ye didn't come, Ling Huayin asked Qin Xuan directly about Du Ye's whereabouts.

"Lord Du Ye has a lot of opportunities, and the little ones don't know where the adults are now, maybe they are still patrolling the city. Qin Xuan replied at a polite distance.

"Your lord, has he always lived here?" Ling Huayin wanted to learn about Du Ye from Qin Xuan's mouth.

But Qin Xuan's answer made her a little disappointed.

"Since I came to this house, Master Du Ye has been here. Do you have any questions?"

"No, thank you. "I couldn't inquire about anything, and Ling Huayin was a little discouraged.

Qin Xuan bowed slightly politely, "Then I'll go down." If the girl has any orders, come to the front yard and look for me. ”

After Qin Xuan left, Ling Huayin looked at the sumptuous meal on the table and didn't move, so she went directly to the next door and knocked on Situ Yan's door.

"Come in. Situ Yan replied inside.

Ling Huayin pushed the door in, and saw that Situ Yan was eating good wine and meat, eclectic and completely like his own home, and when she saw Ling Huayin, she also picked up a pot of wine and beckoned her over.

Ling Huayin sat aside, looked at Situ Yan's complacent appearance, and frowned: "Aren't you afraid that there will be any problems in the meal? Ling Huayin remembered the story that Situ Yan told to herself last time in Lingyin Village.

"I've checked it, there's no problem, haven't you eaten?" Situ Yan asked, taking another sip of wine.

Ling Huayin sat and didn't speak, Situ Yan glanced at her, smiled and picked up a piece of meat, handed it to Ling Huayin's mouth, and said, "The food here is really delicious, you can taste it." ”

Ling Huayin looked at Situ Yan in surprise, her eyes were wide open, as if Situ Yan had made some big move, and she was very embarrassed. Situ Yan didn't think there was anything wrong with this move, and he didn't even notice anything ambiguous, so he stretched his chopsticks forward again and said, "Really, I didn't lie to you, try it." ”

Ling Huayin blushed and opened her mouth slightly, took the meat in her mouth and chewed it, pursed her lips slightly, and said, "It's really good." ”

"Do you want to eat it again? or I'll go get your dishes and chopsticks." Situ Yan looked at her with a smile.

Ling Huayin smiled and shook her head, "Don't eat it, since I cultivated into an immortal body, I rarely eat anymore, you can eat it yourself." ”

"Also, you have so many rules in the immortal family, unlike me, a loose immortal, unrestrained. ”

"By the way, Oro is still in the gourd, so she shouldn't be called. Ling Huayin said with some concern.

"Hmm...... What impact does this phantom realm have on Eluo, wait until you see Du Ye, and then ask him. Since he treats us with courtesy, he should take the initiative to come to us before we meet their city lord. Situ Yan tasted the food unhurriedly as he spoke, while Ling Huayin sat on the side and watched. Suddenly, I felt that this immortal who didn't eat fireworks in the world was also very eye-catching.

Situ Yan finished eating with satisfaction, wiped his mouth and said, "It's really strange, I always feel that the food here seems to have been eaten often before, especially to my taste." ”

Ling Huayin smiled and asked, "Could it be that the city lord here is really your old acquaintance, so he specially entertained us?"

"Perhaps, if that's the case, then we've come to the right place. ”

The two gossiped for a while, and Qin Xuan came over to clean up, and by the way, let them move to the front hall, where Du Ye was waiting for them. After the two came to the front hall, they saw Du Ye change into his regular clothes, which looked a lot more kind. Although Du Ye had already said that he was not Su Yan, Ling Huayin would still be a little stunned when she saw him again.

Du Ye nodded to them, invited them to take a seat, and said, "I know that you two have a lot of questions, the city lord asked me to entertain you, if you have any questions, just ask me." ”

Ling Huayin glanced at Situ Yan, and then asked Du Ye, "Do you city lords know any of us?"

Du Ye replied: "I don't know if I know it, I don't want to ask about the city lord." ”

"Then who is your city lord?"

Du Ye's tone was flat, "I just said that I never ask about the city lord, including his name." ”

Situ Yan smiled and quipped: "Your city lord's habits are really unusual, and you want to entertain us without revealing who you are, so you have to let us guess." This is really more than a woman's heart. ”

Du Ye glanced at him lightly and did not speak.

Ling Huayin asked again: "My friend Oro has been staying in the gourd since he came here and never came out, what is going on?"

"May I ask if this friend of the girl is a demon?"

"Exactly. ”

Du Ye replied: "That's it, this is the Illusory Realm, which is equivalent to the dream realm of your human world, but the only difference is that this is a space built by the spiritual power of many demons, and it is difficult for demons like Nightmare to maintain their bodies under the spiritual power of the demons, so if your friends don't leave here, they shouldn't come out." But rest assured, Phantom Realm is no threat to your friends. ”

Ling Huayin was relieved after hearing this, and then said: "We came to the Illusory Realm, in fact, to find someone, this person's name is Bai Yi, who was once a disciple of my Xianze Palace, I wonder if you have seen any suspicious people come here?"

Du Ye thought for a moment, and said with a little regret: "Whenever there are outsiders here in us, I will know that there is really no suspicious person." However, it is not difficult for the two of you to find someone in the Illusory Realm, there is a sea-crossing person in the Sea of No Return, who can pass through various Illusory Realms, and I will take the two of you to meet this person tomorrow morning. He might be able to help you. ”

"It's a lot of relief. Situ Yan raised the corners of his mouth, quite satisfied with his luck by mistake.

"I have one more question. ”

"Girl, excuse me. ”

"What exactly is your immortality technique here?" Ling Huayin asked as she stared at Du Ye.

Du Ye seemed to be stared at by her a little unnaturally, lowered his head and was silent for a while, and then said: "In fact, the art of immortality is not as long as people say like immortals, but in this city, people's life span has been terminated forever, people will no longer grow up like normal people, children will always be children, adults will not get old, although the mind is mature, but the appearance will not change, so some of the people you see in the city have lived for more than a hundred years, but the appearance is still a few years old." ”

"Won't it grow up? This is the first time I've heard of it. Then before you obtained the Immortal Technique, there were no old people in this city?" Situ Yan asked.

Du Ye said: "There used to be old people, but they left here after obtaining the art of immortality in this city, and the price of leaving here is the rapid loss of life, many people have died of old age on the way before they reach the hillside outside the city." Even so, for the people who suffered from illness all year round, the castle lord's art of immortality was salvation, so most of the people in the city accepted it. ”

"Although it is immortality, but such a price is too heavy, you city lord is not saving people, you are depriving people of their freedom. Ling Huayin was quite emotional and did not agree with the city lord's approach.

Du Ye hurriedly explained: "The girl thinks she has misunderstood our city lord, our city lord has already given them the opportunity to choose before teaching the city people the art of immortality, whether to go or stay, whether to continue to survive or gain eternal life, it is up to them to decide, but the greed and desire of human beings are endless, once there is a benefit in front of them, they will compete to grab it." Almost all the young people in this city have accepted the master's immortality technique, and only a few old people prefer to die of illness. ”

While Situ Yan was thinking, the thumb and middle finger of his right hand began to rub again, Ling Huayin had only discovered this habitual action when he thought about things not long ago.

Situ Yan frowned and said, "What kind of disease do the people in the city have, and there is no doctor to treat it?"

Du Ye replied: "As soon as the skin is exposed to the sun, it will crack and suppurate, no one can tell what kind of disease it is, but the disease comes quickly, many people are born with that disease, and most of them die before the age of 30, so there are few old people." ”

Ling Huayin stared at Du Ye's face that was exactly the same as Su Yan's, and couldn't help asking, "What about you? How old are you? Have you also accepted the art of immortality?"

Du Ye replied without concealment: "I have indeed accepted the city lord's art of immortality, and in terms of age, I should be over a hundred years old. ”

Ling Huayin broke the casserole and asked to the end, "Haven't you been anywhere else before you accepted the art of immortality?"

Du Ye looked at her a little strangely and said, "I have never left here. ”

Ling Huayin was suddenly a little disappointed, Situ Yan glanced at her, and said to Du Ye, "Can you tell us what kind of spell this immortal art is?"

Du Ye was silent for a moment before he said quietly: "Speaking of which, this immortality technique is actually borrowing other people's bodies to attach their dissipating souls to other people's bodies, so that their souls can stay in the world and no longer enter the cycle of rebirth, and they will have a long lifespan." ”

Ling Huayin was shocked when she heard this, and hurriedly asked, "What about the original person's soul?"

"The original person's soul will naturally dissipate, but because of this, he will not be able to enter the reincarnation well, and he will become a lonely soul scattered between heaven and earth. And those who have obtained the art of eternal life, once they die, then their souls will also become the same lonely souls, and they will no longer be able to enter reincarnation. Du Ye stated.

"You guys are simply ridiculous!" Ling Huayin didn't expect this so-called immortal art to be so contrary to the way of heaven.

Situ Yan didn't say a word, but his brows furrowed even deeper.

Du Ye continued: "However, the body that can be used is also conditional, most of the people brought by the city lord are willing to sacrifice their bodies, and they must be similar in age to themselves in order to complete a soul exchange. ”

Ling Huayin couldn't help but sneer, "What about those children, they haven't seen the world yet, and they haven't even fully understood, are they willing to be deprived of the right to live by you like this?"

"It's not without inducement, as long as the adults agree, the children will obediently obey, and in their opinion, it's just an exchange of goods. For those who agree to give their lives are sinners. Du Ye suddenly said coldly.

Situ Yan suddenly raised his eyes, only to see Ling Huayin a little angry, and said, "What crime have they committed, and even children have to be implicated?"

Du Ye uttered four words word by word: "The crime of murder." ”
